(NASDAQ: ACAD), a biopharmaceutical companyfocused on innovative treatments that address unmet medical needs inneurological and related central nervous system disorders, todayannounced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter endedJune 30, 2012.

ACADIA reported a net loss of $5.4 million, or $0.10 per common share,for the second quarter of 2012 compared to a net loss of $6.6 million,or $0.12 per common share, for the second quarter of 2011.

At June 30, 2012, ACADIA’s cash, cash equivalents and investmentsecurities totaled $21.3 million compared to $31.0 million at December31, 2011. ACADIA continues to expect that its current cash resources andanticipated payments from its existing collaborations will be sufficientto fund its operations at least into the second quarter of 2013.

“Our progress in the first half of 2012 established the foundation forwhat we believe will be an exciting and value-driving second half of theyear,” said Uli Hacksell, Ph.D., ACADIA’s Chief Executive Officer. “Welook forward to reporting top-line results this fall from the ongoingpivotal -020 trial in our Phase III Parkinson’s disease psychosisprogram with pimavanserin. Importantly, our pipeline of productcandidates, led by pimavanserin, positions ACADIA with multiple productand commercial opportunities and significant growth potential.”

Revenues increased to $599,000 for the second quarter of 2012 from$460,000 for the comparable quarter of 2011, largely reflectingincreased funding from ACADIA’s research grants as well as revenues fromits collaborations with Allergan, Inc.

Research and development expenses increased to $4.5 million for thesecond quarter of 2012, including $154,000 in stock-based compensation,from $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2011, including $134,000 instock-based compensation. This increase was primarily due to increasedexternal clinical expenses associated with ACADIA’s Phase III programwith pimavanserin.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $1.6 million for thesecond quarter of 2012, including $324,000 in stock-based compensation,from $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2011, including $279,000 instock-based compensation. The decrease was largely attributable to a$1.1 million net charge incurred in the second quarter of 2011 inconnection with the termination of the Company’s Swedish facility lease.
