Amicus today reiterated its guidance for 2008 cash burn of $40 million to $60 million. The Company also stated that it does not expect to raise cash from any equity financings in 2008.
The differences between U.S. GAAP and non U.S. GAAP financial results
are itemized in tables 2 and 3, and are primarily due to:
-- Pre-tax stock compensation expense
-- Pre-tax charges for preferred stock accretion
-- Pre-tax charges for changes in the fair value of warrant liability
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Amicus' "non-GAAP net loss" and "non-GAAP diluted net loss per common
share" financial measures are defined as reported, or GAAP net loss and
diluted net loss per common share excluding certain items further discussed

establish financial goals and to gain an understanding of the comparative
