BOULDER, Colo., Feb 2, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Array BioPharma Inc. (Nasdaq: ARRY) today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2004, ended December 31, 2003. During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, Array reported total revenue of $7.6 million, compared to $9.5 million during the same period in fiscal 2003. Net loss was $6.3 million, or ($0.22) per share, for the second quarter, compared to a net loss of $2.9 million, or ($0.10) per share, for the comparable quarter in fiscal 2003.

In addition, the quarter ending accounts receivable balance was $7.7 million, an increase of $5.0 million over the prior quarter. The increase in cash and accounts receivable is due to the recently announced AstraZeneca and Genentech collaborations.
