Journal entries for stock warrants. On December 7, 2002, Altus Pharmaceuticals issued shares of convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase additional shares of preferred stock for an aggregate issue price of $46,180,000 in a private placement of securities.

On January 15, 2007, Altus Pharmaceuticals made its initial public offering of common stock. Holders of the preferred stock converted their shares into 5,269,705 shares of $.01 par value common stock. The warrants to purchase preferred stock became warrants to purchase common stock.
