Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc. and its subsidiary, NW Bio Europe Sarl (collectively, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements. All normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods are reflected herein.

The independent registered public accounting firm’s report on the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 states that because of recurring operating losses, net operating cash flow deficits, and a deficit accumulated during the development stage, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. A “going concern” opinion indicates that the financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company implemented the following accounting policy during 2011:

Common Stock Warrant Liability - The Company accounts for potential shares that can be converted to common stock that were in excess of authorized shares, as a liability that is recorded at fair value.

The other significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income or ASU 2011-05. The guidance in ASU 2011-05 revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. An entity is required to report the components of comprehensive income in either one or two consecutive financial statements:

A single, continuous statement must present the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive income and total other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income.

In a two-statement approach, an entity must present the components of net income and total net income in the first statement. That statement must be immediately followed by a financial statement that presents the components of other comprehensive income, a total for other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income.

ASU 2011-05 does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. The amendments in ASU 2011-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have a material impact on the presentation of information in its financial statements.

3. Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation expense for all stock-based awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense, on a straight-line basis, over the employee's requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award). The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized only for those awards that are expected to vest using an estimated forfeiture rate. We estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures at the time of grant and reflect the impact of estimated pre-vesting option forfeitures in compensation expense recognized. For options and warrants issued to non-employees, the Company recognizes stock compensation costs utilizing the fair value methodology over the related period of benefit.

The following key weighted average assumptions were employed in the Black-Scholes option valuation model for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 (no options were granted in the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and no calculation was performed):

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2011			Six Months Ended June 30, 2011
Risk-free interest rate		2.27	%		2.27	%
Expected dividend yield		-	%		-	%
Volatility		193.6	%		193.6	%
Expected life	7 Years			7 Years
Weighted average Black - Scholes value of options granted	$	0.65		$	0.65

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company does not anticipate declaring dividends in the foreseeable future. Volatility is based on historical data. The expected life of an option is based on assumptions about future option vesting and exercises.

A summary of the Company’s year-to-date stock option activity and related information follows (options in thousands):

	Options			Weighted Average Exercise price		Weighted Average remaining Contractual Term
Outstanding at December 31, 2010		3,256		$	0.71
Grants		21,928			0.66
Expired		(5	)		10.62
Forfeited		(557	)		0.60

Outstanding at June 30, 2011		24,622		$	0.67	9.8 years

Exercisable at June 30, 2011		9,802		$	0.66	9.6 years

Available for grant at June 30, 2011		8,142

In May 2011, the Company increased the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2007 Stock Option Plan by an additional 20,000,000 shares of its common stock. As of June 30, 2011, there was $100,000 of aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding stock options, including $100,000 of aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable stock options. Intrinsic value represents the total pretax intrinsic value for all “in-the-money” options (i.e., the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of its second quarter of 2011 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares of common stock underlying the stock options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on June 30, 2011.

Stock-based compensation expense was as follows for the three and six months ended June 30 (in thousands):

	Three months ended June 30,				Six Months ended June 30,
	2010		2011		2010		2011
Research and development	$	177	$	1,782	$	363	$	1,946
General and administrative		329		3,676		657		4,005
Total Stock-based compensation	$	506	$	5,458	$	1,020	$	5,951

At June 30, 2011, the unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options was $7.5 million which is to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.0 years (approximately $2.5 million per year).

4. Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

The Company's embedded derivative liability and liability for reclassified equity contracts were measured using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. There were no assets measured at fair value using unobservable inputs either as of or during the six months ended June 30, 2011 or as of or during the six months ended June 30, 2010. There were no liabilities measured at fair value using unobservable inputs as of or during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

As a result of the Company entering into convertible promissory notes and issuing warrants to purchase common stock, the Company's total potential outstanding common stock exceeded the Company’s authorized shares by approximately 53.5 million shares as of June 30, 2011, as also discussed in Note 7. As a result the Company is currently required to value a number of shares equal to the excess (53.5 million) issuable on exercise of warrants and options and on conversion of convertible notes and recognize the value as a liability. Once an increase in the number of authorized shares sufficient to cover the excess has been approved by stockholders, the liability will be remeasured, with changes in value included in other income/(expense), and then reclassified to additional paid-in capital. The Company intends to obtain authorization of an increase during the quarter ending September 30, 2011.

At March 31, 2011, the Company valued 12.4 million shares potentially in excess of the authorized shares at that date and recognized a liability of $5,753,000. These same warrants were revalued at June 30, 2011 based on the closing stock price on June 30, 2011 with a resultant increase in value of $1,462,000. The warrant liability was correspondingly increased by $1,462,000 with an offsetting charge against income. The additional 41.1 million shares required to cover the total of 53.5 million potential excess shares at June 30, 2011 were valued at $12,776,000 and that amount was recognized as a liability at June 30, 2011. The total fair value of the shares potentially issuable in excess of the authorized shares at June 30, 2011 totaled approximately $19,991,000 and was recognized as a liability on June 30, 2011. Once an increase in the number of authorized shares sufficient to cover the excess has been approved by stockholders, the liability will be remeasured, with changes in value included in other income/ (expense), and then reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

The following table represents the activity for the Company’s liability for reclassified equity contracts for the period ended June 30, 2011:

	Liability for reclassified equity contracts
Balance , January 1, 2011	$	-
Liabilties relassified at inception		18,529,000
Change in value of liabilities reclassified		1,462,000
Balance, June 30, 2011	$	19,991,000

In the third and fourth quarters of 2010 the Company entered into loan agreements and issued warrants in connection with other loans. The terms of the loan agreement and warrants allowed for the conversion price for the loan and the warrants’ strike price to be adjusted downwards (but no additional warrants will be issued) in the event that stock or warrants were issued at a lower price or with a lower strike price during that 12 month period (“down round price protection”). As a result the warrants must be valued as of their issuance date with the value being recognized as a derivative liability on the balance sheet and revalued at the end of each reporting period with the net change in the value during that reporting period being charged against income as a derivative gain or (loss). At the end of the 12 month adjustment period the final value of the warrants is charged against additional paid-in capital.

The Company recognizes embedded derivative liabilities at their respective fair values at inception and on each reporting date. The Company measures fair value using a binomial model adjusted for the probability of issuance using a Monte Carlo simulation. Changes in fair value are recorded in “Derivative valuation gain (loss)” in the consolidated statement of operations. Key assumptions for determining fair values included expected terms of 3 months, volatility of 66% and risk-free interest rate of 0.26%.

As of January 1, 2011, the embedded derivative liability related to certain loan agreements and warrants issued in September and October 2010 with down round price protection amounted to $839,000. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011 the principal outstanding under one agreement was converted into stock and the residual embedded derivative liability of $169,000 was reclassified to stockholders equity. The derivative liability associated with the conversion feature in the May 31, 2011 $3,000,000 note from Whitebox Advisors and its affiliates was initially recorded in the consolidated balance sheet upon issuance as of May 31, 2011 at a fair value of $1,389,000. On June 30, 2011 the embedded conversion features were revalued based on the closing price of the Company’s stock resulting in a change in the fair value of the derivative liability of $148,000.

The following table represents the activity for the Company’s embedded derivative liability for the period ended June 30, 2011:

	Embedded Derivative Liability

5. Liquidity

The Company has experienced recurring losses from operations, and, as of June 30, 2011, had a working capital deficit of $44.1 million (including the $19.9 million recorded as a liability relating to securities in excess of the authorized number, which will be eliminated as soon as the authorized number is increased), and a deficit accumulated during the 15 years of Company operations to date of $239.7 million. Of this $239.7 million deficit, $107.5 million (less than half) reflects cash used in operations, and the remaining $132.2 million reflects non-cash accounting measures.

Since 2004, Toucan Capital Fund II, L.P. (“Toucan Capital”), Toucan Partners LLC (“Toucan Partners”), entities controlled by Ms. Linda Powers, the managing director of Toucan Capital and managing member of Toucan Partners, and Ms. Linda Powers (collectively “Toucan”) have provided substantial funding to the Company. During the period from 2004 to 2007, the funding consisted of various loans and the purchase of preferred stock and common stock. Under a Conversion Agreement during 2007, all loans payable to Toucan outstanding at the time were converted to preferred stock and all of the preferred stock was converted to common stock. As a result of additional loans, as of June 30, 2011, notes payable include $1.3 million of 12% convertible notes and $0.5 million of 20% convertible notes payable to Toucan. The $1.3 million notes payable to Toucan outstanding as of June 30, 2011, are convertible at $0.20 per share and the $0.5 million note payable is convertible at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average of the five lowest closing prices for the Company's Stock over the 25 days immediately preceding conversion. As a result of this financing activity, as of June 30, 2011, Toucan held 22,617,015 shares of common stock, representing approximately 24.2% of the common stock outstanding. Further, as of June 30, 2011, Toucan, beneficially owned (including unexercised warrants) 63,032,559 shares of common stock, representing a beneficial ownership interest of approximately 36.7%.

On June 2, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Toucan Partners to establish an equity facility pursuant to which the Company will issue registered, tradable shares of its common stock (the “Common Stock”) for future financings of up to $25 million over a 30-month period. The Company expects the shares involved in this equity facility will be registered in several tranches, through a series of registration statements over the 30-month term. The 30-month period will begin on the effective date of the first registration statement. Any use of this equity facility will be entirely in the Company’s discretion.

Under the terms of the facility, the Company may issue and sell shares of its Common Stock and deliver a sales notice to Toucan. Upon such notification, Toucan will be obligated to purchase a specified amount of stock based upon the then current price level of the Company’s stock. The price per share at which Toucan will be obligated to make such purchase will be determined by a backward-looking, fixed price formula of 95% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the Company’s Common Stock during the 15 trading days prior to the Company’s notification date. The price per share is also subject to a floor price of $0.35 per share throughout the term of the Agreement. The purchase price formula does not include any discount and/or warrants that may be provided to an investor who purchases shares that have been registered pursuant to this facility.

The amount of stock the Company can elect to issue in each sale will be determined by the then current price level of the Company’s common stock, ranging from $150,000 to $1 million. The Company is required to pay or reimburse all expenses associated with the establishment and use of this equity facility and all transactions in connection therewith, including legal fees, broker fees and placement agent fees. The Company may terminate the facility at any time for any reason upon thirty days’ notice provided, however, that if the Company does so and Toucan is not in default, the Company may not enter into or use a similar facility for eight months after such termination. Toucan may terminate the facility if the Company is in default. Toucan will receive a one percent commitment fee for the facility and a five percent fee on the sales of shares under the facility when the sales are executed.

In addition to financing obtained from Toucan, the Company has raised additional capital by issuing common stock and debt securities. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $6.7 million of cash on hand. The Company expects to begin accessing the $25 million equity facility with Toucan Partners described above during the third quarter of 2011. If the Company’s capital raising efforts are unsuccessful, its inability to obtain additional cash as needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and the Company’s ability to continue its existence.

6. Notes Payable

Notes payable originating during 2011

In January 2011, the Company received $50,000 upon issuing an unsecured 10% convertible loan agreement and promissory note due in April 2011 to private, non-affiliated investors. The note is convertible at maturity into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.75 per share. Warrants to purchase 66,667 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share were issued with the loan agreement. The Company did not repay the promissory note on or before the maturity date, and as a result, the note holder became entitled to receive a warrant to purchase an additional 66,667 shares of common stock.

On January 19, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to receive up to $2,220,000 from a non affiliated third party (the “Investor”). Under the agreement the Company entered into two promissory notes with principal amounts of $1,120,000 and $1,100,000, which are secured by certain notes and assets provided by the Investor (representing future tranches of funding under the Agreement), but are not secured by any assets of the Company. The $1,120,000 note carries an original issue discount of 10% and annual interest of 9% per annum, payable at maturity on June 30, 2012, and the $1,100,000 note carries an original issue discount of 10% and annual interest of 6% per annum, payable at maturity on December 31, 2013. Both notes were initially convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average of the daily volume weighted price of the Company’s common stock for the five lowest trading days during the 10 days immediately preceding conversion. The notes have down-round protection upon the occurrence of specified events. The proceeds of Note 1 were received at closing on January 21, 2011. The proceeds of Note 2 were to be received in four equal monthly tranches starting on July 19, 2011. The beneficial conversion feature related to the note was determined to be approximately $276,000. As a result, the total discount on the note (including the original issue discount) totaled $396,000, and is being amortized over term of the note.

On January 20, 2011, the Company entered into a $130,000 unsecured 12% Loan Agreement with SDS (the “SDS Loan”) due August 2, 2011.

On February 11, 2011, the Company received $50,000 upon issuing unsecured 6% convertible loan agreement and promissory note due in February 11, 2012 to a private, non-affiliated investor. The note is convertible at maturity into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.50 per share. The intrinsic value of the convertible notes resulted in a beneficial conversion feature amounting to $25,000 which was recorded as a debt discount to be amortized over the term of the note.

On February 18, 2011, the Company entered into a transaction under which amounts due to a service provider were converted into a Convertible Promissory note in the amount of $192,195. The note was assigned to an unrelated, non-affiliated third party and amended (the “Amended Note”). The Amended Note carries an original issue discount of 10% and an annual interest rate of 4% payable at maturity on February 18, 2013. The Amended Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a conversion price equal to 80% of the market price at the time of conversion (the average price comprised of the average of the daily volume weighted average prices for the 5 trading days with the lowest average prices during the 15 trading days immediately preceding conversion). During the six months ended June 30, 2011 the note was converted into 749,365 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company also entered into an additional agreement with the same investor to receive $190,000 pursuant to an additional Convertible Promissory Note under the same terms and with the same maturity date as the Amended Note. The intrinsic value of the convertible notes resulted in a beneficial conversion feature amounting to $122,000. As a result, the total discount on the notes (including original issue discount) totaled $176,000 and is being amortized over the term of the note.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company received an additional $650,000 under the $3,050,000 financing agreement which originated on December 14, 2010. During 2010, the Company received $350,000, and as of March 31, 2011, the cumulative amount advanced under the agreement was $1,000,000. The advances include a one-time interest charge of 11% and are repayable on December 16, 2013. The principal and interest payable under the agreement of $1,102,000 at March 31, 2011, is effectively convertible into common stock, at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average of the five lowest closing prices for the Company's stock, over the 25 trading days immediately preceding conversion. The beneficial conversion feature related to the agreement was determined to be approximately $675,000, and is being amortized over term of the note. On March 30, 2011, at the Company’s request, the investor agreed to cancel a note in the amount of $500,000 that was to be included in future stages of the funding arrangement entered into on December 14, 2010. The effect of this cancellation was to remove the Company’s obligation in that amount, and correspondingly reduce that funding arrangement.

On March 31, 2011, the Company entered into an unsecured Loan Agreement and Promissory Note with Toucan Partners in the amount of $500,000. The note matures on December 14, 2013, carries an original issue discount of approximately 10% and a one-time interest charge of 10%. The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average of the five lowest closing prices in the 25 days previous to the conversion date which was $0.28 on the date the note was issued. Any amount that is still outstanding at maturity is repayable in cash. The intrinsic value of the convertible notes resulted in a beneficial conversion feature amounting to $436,000. As a result, the total discount on the notes (including original issue discount) totaled $489,000 and is being amortized over the term of the note.

On May 4, 2011, the Company received funding of $600,000 pursuant to the January 19, 2011 $2,220,000 funding agreement described above. Initial funding of $1,000,000 was received in January 2011 and under the terms of the agreement the second tranche of $1,000,000 was to be provided in four equal monthly installments, starting six months after the closing of the initial funding in January 2011. On May 4, 2011 the Company and the Investor agreed to modify the terms of the original agreement to accelerate the Investor’s advance of $600,000 of the second $1,000,000 tranche. The Company issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $600,000 to the Investor, with a maturity of December 31, 2013, an original issue discount of 10% and an annual interest rate of 6%. In consideration of the acceleration of the $600,000 funding, the Company agreed to amend the conversion price in the convertible promissory note, reducing it from 80% to 70% of the market price at the time of conversion. The Company and the Investor agreed that the balance of the second tranche ($400,000) will be received no later than October 31, 2011. The beneficial conversion feature related to the note was determined to be approximately $152,000. As a result, the total discount on the note (including the original issue discount) totaled $343,000, and is being amortized over the term of the note.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company received an additional $550,000 under the $3,050,000 financing agreement which originated on December 14, 2010. During 2010, the Company received $350,000 and during 2011 the Company has received $1.2 million. As of June 30, 2011; the cumulative amount advanced under the agreement was $1,550,000. The advances include an original issue discount of 10% and a one-time interest charge of 10% and are repayable on December 16, 2013. The principal and interest payable under the agreement is convertible into common stock, at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average of the five lowest closing prices for the Company's stock, over the 25 trading days immediately preceding conversion. On June 27, 2011, $574,000 of the advances made to date was converted into 2,000,000 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2011 a balance, including principal, original issue discount and interest of $1,033,000 was outstanding under the agreement. The value of the beneficial conversion related to the funding provided in the quarter was $184,000. As a result, the total discount on the note (including the original issue discount) totaled $209,000 is being amortized over term of the note.

On May 31, 2011, the Company accepted financing in the aggregate amount of $3,000,000 from Whitebox Advisors a large unaffiliated institutional investor and its affiliates (“Whitebox”). In consideration of the funding received from Whitebox, the Company issued convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) to Whitebox, in accordance with their respective investment. The maturity date of the Notes is November 30, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”) and the Notes bear interest at the annualized rate of 10% per annum. The Notes are only convertible on the Maturity Date, at the election of Whitebox, and are only convertible into shares of the Company's unregistered, restricted common stock at that time. The Notes are convertible at $0.57 per share (the “Conversion Price”). So long as more than 50% of the original principal amount of the Notes is still outstanding, the Conversion Price is subject to anti-dilution adjustment based on subsequent offerings; however, in no event shall the Conversion Price be adjusted to a price less than $0.35 (“down round protection”). When at least 50% of the original principal amount has been repaid, the anti-dilution provision shall terminate and cease to have any applicability. The Company may prepay the Notes in whole or in part at any time or times after August 31, 2011, provided that the Company pays the full amount of interest that would have been due up to the Maturity Date on any prepaid amounts. Whitebox has the right to elect whether to receive such prepayment in cash and/or in shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company has no obligation to register any of the shares of common stock underlying the Notes, other than an obligation to allow piggyback registration when capacity is available in the Company’s reasonable commercial discretion. The Company determined that the down round protection on the conversion price should be accounted for as an embedded derivative. The derivate was valued at $1,389,000 using a binomial model and recorded an embedded derivative liability with the offsetting charge recorded as a debt discount.

The Company also issued to Whitebox warrants to purchase 5,263,159 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $0.57 per share (the same price per share as the Conversion Price under the Notes). The Warrants expire five years after issuance. The Warrants do not allow any cashless exercise, and require the holder to pay for all exercises in cash. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants by the second anniversary of the issuance of the warrants. In June 2011 Whitebox effectively transferred a sizeable portion of these warrants (for 725,363 shares) in conjunction with the investment of the Richard Schulze Family Foundation in the Company (see Note 11). The relative fair value of the Warrants $1,611,000 and is being amortized over the term of the note.

On May 26, 2011, the Company reached agreement with the holders of convertible promissory notes dated November 29, 2010 in the amount of $295,000 with a maturity date of May 29, 2011. Under the terms of the notes, the notes were convertible into shares of the Company’s stock at a conversion price equal to the first $1 million of equity raised during the term of the notes. Since, as of May 26, 2011, the Company had not raised $1 million in equity, during the term of the notes, the parties negotiated to convert the outstanding principal and interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at the average of the volume weighted average price for the 10 days prior to the conversion. The Company issued the note holders 559,480 shares of the Company’s common stock in full and final settlement of the Company’s obligations under the notes. As a result of the negotiated conversion terms, the Company recognized the excess of the fair value of the securities transferred over the securities issuable pursuant to the original terms as a charge to operations amounting to $125,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

7. Liability for Reclassified Equity Contracts

The Company accounts for potential shares that can be converted to common stock and if converted, will be in excess of authorized shares, as a liability that is recorded on the balance sheet (at fair value) only until the authorized number of shares is increased (at which time the whole liability will be remeasured, with changes in value included in other income/(expense), and then reclassified to additional paid-in capital). As of June 30, 2011 total potential issuable common stock exceeded the Company’s authorized shares by 53,537,000 shares. The fair value of these shares totaled approximately $19,991,000 and was recognized as a liability on June 30, 2011. The value of the liability was computed by valuing the securities that management believed were most likely to be converted. As of June 30, 2011, those securities consisted of warrants and options to purchase common stock and shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes payable which have been issued over the last 7 years and which have exercise and conversion prices ranging from $0.15 to $0.60 per share. The fair value of the warrants as of June 30, 2011 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%, risk-free interest rates between 0.10 and 1.76%, volatility between 121 and 200% and contractual lives between of 1.25 and 5.5 years. The fair value of the shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes was calculated based on the anticipated conversion price relative to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 30, 2011. Until an increase in authorized shares is approved by stockholders, future issuances of common stock and instruments convertible or exercisable into common stock will have the impact of increasing the number of potential shares used to value the liability for reclassified equity contracts. This liability is revalued at each reporting date with any change in value included in other income/(expense) until such time as enough shares are authorized to cover all potentially convertible instruments. When the Company’s stockholders authorize an increase in the authorized capital sufficient to cover this excess the liability will be remeasured, with changes in value included in other income/(expense), and then reclassified to additional paid-in capital. The Company intends to obtain shareholder approval to increase the authorized share capital during the third quarter of 2011.

8. Net Income (Loss) Per Share Applicable to Common Stockholders

Basic net loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. The potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive due to the Company's net losses and are as follows as of the periods presented (in thousands):

	Three months ended June 30,				Six Months ended June 30,
	2010		2011		2010		2011
Common stock options		4,096		25,186		4,096		25,186
Common stock warrants		38,200		53,215		38,200		53,215
Convertible notes		16,200		31,651		16,200		31,651
Excluded potentially dilutive securities		58,496		110,052		58,496		110,052

9. Related Party Transactions

Cognate Agreement

During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company entered into a new service agreement with Cognate Therapeutics, Inc. (“Cognate”), a contract manufacturing and services organization in which Toucan Capital has a majority interest. In addition, two of the principals of Toucan Capital are members of Cognate’s board of directors and Linda Powers who is a director of Cognate and managing director of Toucan Capital is Chairperson of the Company’s Board of Directors and Chief Executive of the Company. This agreement replaces the agreement dated May 17, 2007 between the Company and Cognate, which had expired. Under the service agreement, the Company agreed to continue to utilize Cognate’s services, for certain consulting and manufacturing services to the Company for its ongoing DCVax®-Brain Phase II clinical trial. The scope of services and the economics are comparable to the prior agreement, and the structure and process for payments are simplified. Under the terms of the new agreement the Company will pay Cognate a monthly facility fee of $400,000 per month (the same amount as under the prior agreement) and a fixed fee (in lieu of cost-plus charges) for each patient enrolled in the study, subject to specified minimum number of patients per month, plus charges for certain patient and product data services if such services are requested by the Company. The current service agreement expires on March 31, 2016. Additionally the Company has agreed to reimburse Cognate for enrollment ramp up costs, foreign program costs and costs of facilities and equipment dedicated to Company programs (which were also previously reimbursable). The amount of ramp up costs during the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $275,000.

During the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively, the Company recognized approximately $1.2 million and $1.7 million of research and development costs related to these service agreements. As of June 30, 2010 and 2011, the Company owed Cognate approximately $6.2 and $9.8 million, respectively.

During 2009, the Company and Cognate agreed that most of the accounts payable owed by the Company to Cognate will be converted into shares of common stock instead of paid in cash. The Company and Cognate agreed on a conversion price of $0.20 per share based on conversion prices applied to other creditors of the Company to date. The parties have agreed that this conversion will be applied to the accounts payable balance due to Cognate as of June 30, 2011 at which date the amount due to Cognate was $9.8 million. Finalization of the conversion arrangements are in process. The Company will recognize the value of common stock issued in excess of the amount of accounts payable converted, if any, as a charge to operations when the conversion takes place.

Toucan Capital Management

Toucan Capital on occasion incurs costs on behalf of the Company. These costs primarily relate to legal and consulting fees and costs and travel expenses incurred in support of the Company’s financing and international expansion efforts.

During the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively, the Company recognized approximately $0.8 million and $0.0 of general and administrative costs for legal, travel and other costs incurred by Toucan Capital, Toucan Partners and Linda Powers on the Company’s behalf. At June 30, 2010 and 2011, expenses payable to Toucan Capital and related parties accrued to date amounted to $1.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and are included as part of accounts payable to related parties in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Also during 2009, the Company agreed with Toucan Capital, Toucan Partners and Linda Powers that some or all of the accrued expenses owed by the Company to these parties for certain expense reimbursements will be converted into shares of common stock instead of paid in cash. The Company and Toucan have agreed on a conversion price of $0.20 per share based on conversion prices applied to other creditors of the Company to date. The parties are in the process of determining the amounts of unbilled accrued expenses. The Company will recognize the value of common stock issued in excess of the amount of the accrued expenses converted, if any, as a charge to operations when the conversion takes place.

10. Contingencies and Commitments

The Company terminated its lease with Toucan Capital Corporation on December 31, 2009. The Company is obligated to make monthly payments of approximately $5,000 during 2011 and other amounts thereafter under the terminated lease. Management is not able to estimate the amount of obligations subsequent to 2011.

On March 17, 2010, the Company entered into a non-cancelable operating lease for 7,097 square feet of office space in Bethesda, Maryland, which expires in September 2012. Future minimum lease payments under the lease are $163,475 and $126,027 for 2011 and 2012, respectively. Rent expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 amounted to $50,042 and $63,212, respectively. The Company expects to lease part of this space to Toucan and proceeds of this sublease, if any, will be offset against the minimum lease payments specified above.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company has no other contractual commitments, other than contracts entered into in the normal course of its business, which result in material financial obligations.

11. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

Item - 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included with this report. In addition to historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements, but some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. Many factors could affect the actual results, including those factors described under “Risk Factors” described in the Annual Report on Form K for the year ended December 31, 2010. These factors, among others, could cause results to differ materially from those presently anticipated. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements.

Overview

The Company is a development stage biotechnology company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing immunotherapy products that generate and enhance immune system responses to treat cancer. Data from our clinical trials suggest that our cancer therapies significantly extend both the time to tumor recurrence and patient survival time, while providing a superior quality of life with no debilitating side effects when compared with current therapies.

Financing activities are described below under “— Liquidity and Capital Resources”. Additional capital will need to be raised to fund our operations, including the completion of our Phase II DCVax ® -L clinical trial.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The critical accounting policies that involve significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Results of Operations

Operating costs:

Operating costs and expenses consist primarily of research and development expenses, including clinical trial expenses which increase when we are actively participating in clinical trials, and general and administrative expenses.

Research and development:

Discovery and preclinical research and development expenses include scientific personnel-related salary and benefit expenses, costs of laboratory supplies used in our internal research and development projects, travel, regulatory compliance, and expenditures for preclinical and clinical trial operation and management when we are actively engaged in clinical trials.

Because we are a development stage company, we do not allocate research and development costs on a project basis. We adopted this policy, in part, due to the unreasonable cost burden associated with accounting at such a level of detail and our limited number of financial and personnel resources.

General and administrative:

General and administrative expenses include administrative personnel related salary and benefit expenses, cost of facilities, insurance, travel, legal support, property and equipment and amortization of stock options and warrants.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2011

We recognized a net loss of $12.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a net loss of $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net loss was primarily attributable to increased costs associated with ramp up of enrollment in the Company’s ongoing Phase II brain cancer trial and an increase in the amortization of stock option compensation.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense increased from $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense was $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to amortization of initial stock option grants to the new management team.

Valuation of Reclassified Equity Contracts

At March 31, 2011 the Company valued 12.8 million shares potentially in excess of the authorized shares at March 31, 2011 and recognized a liability of $5,753,000.

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item - 4 Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive, financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive, financial and accounting officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, in light of the material weaknesses described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer, financial and accounting officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by the SEC.

Management's Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive, financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011. This evaluation was based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Based on management's evaluation as of June 30, 2011, our management identified the material weaknesses set forth below in our internal control over financial reporting:

(i)

The Company's process for internally reporting material information in a systematic manner to allow for timely filing of material information is ineffective, due to its inherent limitations from being a small company, and there exist material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that contribute to the weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures. These weaknesses include the lack of:

appropriate segregation of duties;

appropriate oversight and review;

internal accounting technical expertise;

preparation, review and verification of internally developed documentation;

controls in place to insure that all material developments impacting the financial statements are reflected; and

executed agreements for significant contracts.

(ii)

Lack of a sufficient number of independent directors for our board and audit committee. Our board of directors consists of three members, one of which is independent. Although we are considered a controlled company, whereby a group holds more than 50% of the voting power, and as such are not required to have a majority of our board of directors be independent it is our intention to have a majority of independent directors in due course.

(iii)

Lack of a financial expert on our audit committee. We currently do not have an audit committee financial expert, as defined by SEC regulations on our audit committee as defined by the SEC.

The company's management concluded that in light of the material weaknesses described above, our company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably expected to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Part II — Other Information

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in claims and suits that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Although management currently believes that resolving any such claims against us will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial position or results of operations, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. In addition to any such claims and suits, we are involved in the following legal proceedings. No new proceedings have been initiated since the Annual report on Form 10-K was filed.

On January 21, 2011, the Company consummated a Note Purchase Agreement with a single investor in the aggregate amount of $2,220,000 for the purchase and sale of two Secured Convertible Promissory Notes, consisting of (i) a principal amount of $1,120,000, with an original issue discount (“OID”) of 10% and interest at the rate of 9% per annum, payable on June 30, 2012 and (ii) a principal amount of $1,100.000, with OID of 10% and interest at the rate of 6% per annum, payable on December 31, 2013.

On March 1, 2011, the Company entered into a transaction under Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended with Socius CG II, Ltd. Pursuant to this initial 3(a)(10) transaction, Socius purchased certain claims for payment totaling $1,650,000 from Cognate BioServices, Inc. which Cognate had with respect to the Company. Thereafter, Socius elected to convert the claims into shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion was effected through a settlement agreement between Socius and the Company. The settlement agreement was then the subject of a court proceeding (nominally brought by Socius against the Company, but handled on a cooperative basis through a Joint Stipulation by both parties) in order to obtain court approval of the settlement in accordance with the requirements of Section 3(a)(10). That Court approval was obtained on March 1, 2011. Pursuant to the settlement, the full amount of the $1,650,000 debt will be converted into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to a thirty percent discount from the market price, with the market price being determined over a reference period of up to 20 trading days from the date hereof. In addition, the settlement provided that an equal amount of shares of common stock are to be delivered by the Company to Socius on a temporary basis, as a form of security during the Reference Period. At the end of the Reference Period, a true-up mechanism will be applied to confirm the final number of conversion shares based on the market price

On March 30, 2011, a private non-affiliated investor provided $500,000 of funding to the Company. This funding was provided pursuant to a convertible note due three years after the date of issuance. The note is convertible into the Company’s common stock at any time during its term at a conversion price equal to a 20% discount from the market price at the time of conversion. The note carries an annual interest rate of 10%, and Original Issue Discount of 10%. The note comprises a tranche of the funding arrangement entered into by the Company and the private investor on December 14, 2010, as previously reported.

On March 31, 2011, Toucan Partners provided a matching amount of funding ($500,000) to the Company, in the same form (convertible note) and on the same terms and conditions as the private investor’s funding mentioned immediately above.

On March 30, 2011, at the Company’s request, the investor agreed to cancel a note in the amount of $500,000 that was to be included in future stages of the funding arrangement entered into on December 14, 2010. The effect of this cancellation was to remove the Company’s obligation in that amount, and correspondingly reduce that funding arrangement.

The notes comprise tranches of the funding arrangement entered into by the Company and the private investor on December 14, 2010, as previously reported.

On May 31, 2011, a private non-affiliated investor provided $3,000,000 of funding to the Company. This funding was provided pursuant to convertible note due in November 2012.

The sales of the securities identified above were made pursuant to privately negotiated transactions that did not involve a public offering of securities and, accordingly, we believe that these transactions were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D. The agreements executed in connection with this sale contain representations to support the Company’s reasonable belief that the Investor had access to information concerning the Company’s operations and financial condition, the Investor acquired the securities for their own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof in the absence of an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration, and that the Investor are sophisticated within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and are “accredited investors” (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act). In addition, the issuances did not involve any public offering; the Company made no solicitation in connection with the sale other than communications with the Investor; the Company obtained representations from the Investor regarding their investment intent, experience and sophistication; and the Investor either received or had access to adequate information about the Company in order to make an informed investment decision. All of the foregoing securities are deemed restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act.
