Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. | Basis of Presentation |
ADVENTRX Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (ADVENTRX, we, our or the
Company), prepared the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included
in this report in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual audited financial statements and
should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related
notes for the year ended December 31, 2009 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with
the SEC on March 18, 2010 (2009 Annual Report). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2009 included in this report has been derived from the audited consolidated
financial statements included in the 2009 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, these
consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations
and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods
shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year. |
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, SD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and ADVENTRX (Europe) Ltd. up until its
dissolution. We dissolved ADVENTRX (Europe) Ltd. in December 2009. All intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
On April 23, 2010, the Company effected a 1-for-25 reverse split of its common stock, which was
authorized by its stockholders at a special meeting held in August 2009. All common stock share
and per share information in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in this report have been restated to reflect retrospective application of the reverse
stock split for all periods presented ending or as of a date prior to April 23, 2010, except for
par value per share and the number of authorized shares, which were not affected by the reverse
stock split. |
2. | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
3. | Share-Based Compensation Expense |
Estimated share-based compensation expense related to equity awards granted to our employees and
non-employee directors for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was as follows: |
Three months ended June 30, | Six months ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||

$ | 0.02 | $ | 0.04 | $ | 0.04 | $ | 0.08 | ||||||||
In January 2009, we granted restricted stock units under our 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan to
seven employees that represented the right to receive in the aggregate 148,000 shares of our
common stock. These units were to vest immediately prior to a strategic transaction (as defined
in the documentation evidencing the grant of the units). We would record share-based
compensation expense in connection with these restricted stock units, if at all, only if a
strategic transaction was consummated. All of the restricted stock units granted in January 2009
were subsequently canceled in the first, second and third quarters of 2009 as a result of
employee terminations and resignations and in connection with certain compensation arrangements
with our remaining employees. As of June 30, 2009, restricted stock units representing the right
to receive an aggregate of 126,000 shares of our common stock were outstanding, and, as of June
30, 2010, no restricted stock units were outstanding. |

Table of Contents
There were no employee or non-employee director stock options exercised during the three and six
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we
granted stock options to acquire an aggregate of 20,000 and 203,381 shares, respectively, of our
common stock to our employees and non-employee directors with an estimated weighted-average
grant-date fair value of $1.60 and $6.91 per share, respectively. At June 30, 2010, total
unrecognized estimated compensation cost related to non-vested employee and non-employee
director share-based awards granted prior to that date was $1.1 million, which is expected to be
recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years. During the three and six months ended
June 30, 2009, we granted no stock options to our employees or non-employee directors. |
4. | Comprehensive Loss |
Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period
from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, including foreign
currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities. Our
components of comprehensive loss consist only of net loss. For the six months ended June 30,
2010 and 2009, comprehensive loss was $4.3 million and $5.8 million, respectively. |
5. | Net Loss Per Common Share |
Basic and diluted net loss per common share was calculated by dividing the net loss applicable
to common stock for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
during the period, without consideration for our outstanding common stock equivalents because
their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents are included in the
calculation of diluted earnings per common share only if their effect is dilutive. During the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, our outstanding common stock
equivalents consisted of options, restricted stock units, warrants and convertible preferred
stock as follows: |

6. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard
Update (ASU) No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605) Multiple-Deliverable Revenue
Arrangements, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. The guidance modifies the fair
value requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) subtopic 605-25 Revenue
Recognition Multiple Element Arrangements by providing principles for allocation of
consideration among its multiple elements, allowing more flexibility in identifying and
accounting for separate deliverables under an arrangement. An estimated selling price method is
introduced for valuing the elements of a bundled arrangement if vendor-specific objective
evidence or third-party evidence of selling price is not available, and significantly expands
related disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective prospectively for revenue
arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15,
2010. Currently, we have no multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements that would be affected by
this guidance. |
7. | Licensing Revenue |
In June 2010, we announced that we had entered into a license agreement with respect to our
know-how to develop, make, use and sell ANX-510, or CoFactor® (5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate),
with Theragence, Inc., a California corporation (Theragence). Pursuant to the agreement, we
granted to Theragence an exclusive worldwide license, including the right to grant sublicenses
under certain circumstances, to conduct research on and to develop, make, have made, use, offer
for sale, sell, have sold and import licensed products in any field or use. We are entitled to
receive royalties on net sales of licensed products and up to approximately $30 million in commercial milestone payments based on aggregate gross sales of licensed products in the United
States, European Union and Japan. Theragence agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to
research, develop and commercialize at least one licensed product. We discontinued active work
on our CoFactor program in October 2008. |

Table of Contents
In March 2009, we announced that we and our wholly-owned subsidiary, SD Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,
had entered into a license agreement with respect to our product candidate ANX-514 (docetaxel
lyophilized emulsion for injection) with Shin Poong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a company
organized under the laws of the Republic of Korea (Shin Poong), pursuant to which we granted
to Shin Poong an exclusive license, including the right to sublicense, to research, develop,
make, have made, use, offer for
sale, sell and import licensed products, in each case solely for the treatment of cancer by
intravenous administration of formulations of docetaxel as emulsified products and solely in
South Korea. Under the terms of the agreement, we received an upfront licensing fee of $0.3
million, and are entitled to receive a regulatory milestone payment of either $0.2 million or
$0.4 million upon receipt of regulatory approval for marketing a licensed product in South Korea
(the amount depends on whether the Korea Food and Drug Administration requires Shin Poong to
conduct a bioequivalence or clinical study in human subjects prior to receipt of regulatory
approval), one-time commercial milestone payments tied to annual net sales of licensed products
in an aggregate amount of up to $1.5 million and royalty payments on net sales of licensed
products. Shin Poong is responsible for all development and commercial activities related to
ANX-514 in South Korea. If the Korea Food and Drug Administration requires Shin Poong to conduct
a bioequivalence or clinical trial in human subjects prior to receipt of regulatory approval and
we elect not to supply product to conduct such trial, which supply obligation is subject to
limitations, we will pay Shin Poong $0.1 million. |
We received the $0.3 million upfront licensing fee in April 2009. We recognized $0.3 million in
licensing revenue in the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 because the criteria under our
revenue recognition policy were met in that period. |

As part of restructuring to reduce operating costs, we completed workforce reductions of nine
employees in the three months ended December 31, 2008 and fifteen employees in the six months

balance was recorded in selling, general and administrative, and $163,000 in the second quarter
of 2009, of which $121,000 was recorded in research and development and the balance was recorded
in selling, general and administrative. As of June 30, 2009, all severance-related costs

Reverse Stock Split |
At a special meeting of our stockholders held on August 25, 2009, our stockholders approved a
proposal to authorize our board of directors, in its discretion, to effect a reverse split of
our outstanding common stock without further action by our stockholders. In April 2010, our
board of directors approved a 1-for-25 reverse split of our common stock and on April 23, 2010
at 4:01 p.m. Eastern time, the reverse stock split became effective. As a result of the reverse
stock split, each 25 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock were automatically
reclassified as and changed into one share of our common stock. The reverse stock
split reduced the number of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of April 23,
2010 from approximately 257.3 million shares to approximately 10.3 million shares. No
fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders who were
entitled to fractional shares instead became entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of
receiving fractional shares (after taking into account and aggregating all shares of our common
stock then held by such stockholder) equal to the fractional share interest multiplied by
$4.6275 (the per share closing price of our common stock (on a post-split basis) as determined
by the NYSE Amex on April 23, 2010). The reverse stock split affected all of the holders of our
common stock uniformly. Shares of our common stock underlying outstanding options and warrants
were proportionately reduced and the exercise prices of outstanding options and warrants were
proportionately increased in accordance with the terms of the agreements governing such
securities. All common stock share and per share information in the condensed consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in this report have been restated to reflect
retrospective application of the reverse stock split for all periods presented ending or as of a
date on or prior to April 23, 2010, except for par value per share and the number of authorized
shares, which were not affected by the reverse stock split. |

0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock |
In June 2009, we completed a registered direct equity financing raising gross proceeds of
approximately $2.0 million involving the issuance of 1,993 shares of our 0% Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share (Series A Stock), and 5-year warrants
to purchase up to 324,651 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.75 per share. In
the aggregate, the shares of Series A Stock we issued were convertible into 721,447 shares of
our common stock. All of the shares of the Series A Stock have been converted into common stock
and are no longer outstanding. We received approximately $1.7 million in net proceeds from the
financing, after deducting the placement agents fees and expenses and other offering expenses.
In December 2009, in connection with the exercise of warrants issued in the June 2009 financing,
we issued 240,000 shares of our common stock and received net proceeds of $0.9 million. In
January 2010, in connection with the exercise of the remaining warrants issued in the June 2009
financing, we issued an additional 84,651 shares of our common stock and received an additional
$0.3 million of net proceeds. All of the warrants we issued in the June 2009 financing have
been exercised and are no longer outstanding. |
The convertible feature of our Series A Stock and the terms of the warrants issued in connection
with our Series A Stock provided for a rate of conversion or exercise that was below the market
value of our common stock at issuance. The convertible feature of our Series A Stock is
characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (BCF). The estimated relative fair values of
the shares of our Series A Stock and the warrants issued in connection with such stock were
calculated as approximately $1.2 million and $531,000, respectively. The value of the BCF was
determined using the intrinsic value method and calculated as approximately $1.2 million.
Because our Series A Stock did not have a stated redemption date, the value of the BCF was fully
realized at the time our Series A Stock was issued. The fair value of the warrants was
determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as of the date of issuance assuming a
five-year term, stock volatility of 197.01%, and a risk-free interest rate of 2.81%. The value
of the BCF was treated as a deemed dividend to the holders of our Series A Stock and, due to the
potential immediate convertibility of our Series A Stock at issuance, was recorded as an
increase to additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit at the time of issuance. |
We also issued warrants to purchase up to 36,071 shares of our common stock at an exercise price
of $3.75 per share to the placement agent in the June 2009 financing as additional consideration
for its services in connection with the financing. These warrants had a fair value of
approximately $132,000 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as of the date of issuance
assuming a five-year term, stock volatility of 196.5%, and a risk-free interest rate of 2.85%.
The warrants became exercisable on December 13, 2009 and are exercisable at any time on or
before June 12, 2014. |

5% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock |
In July 2009, we completed a registered direct equity financing raising gross proceeds of
approximately $1.4 million involving the issuance of 1,361 shares of our 5% Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share (Series B Stock). In the aggregate,
the shares of Series B Stock we issued were convertible into 380,167 shares of our common stock.
All of the shares of our Series B Stock have been converted into common stock and are no longer
outstanding. Our Series B Stock would have accrued a cumulative annual dividend of 5% per share
until July 6, 2014, and no dividend thereafter. In accordance with the terms of the Series B
Stock, because the Series B Stock was converted prior to July 6, 2014, we paid the holders an
amount equal to the total dividend that would have accrued in respect of the shares converted
from the issuance date through July 6, 2014, or $250 per $1,000 of stated value of the shares
converted. We received approximately $0.8 million in net proceeds from the financing after
deducting the $340,250 we placed into an escrow account to pay the aggregate dividend payment in
respect of our Series B Stock, placement agents fees and expenses and other offering expenses. |
The convertible feature of our Series B Stock and the value of the dividend in respect thereof
provided for a rate of conversion that was below the market value of our common stock at
issuance. The convertible feature of our Series B Stock is characterized as a BCF. The estimated
relative fair value of the shares of our Series B Stock was calculated as approximately $1.0
million. The value of the BCF was determined using the intrinsic value method and calculated as
approximately $215,000. Because our Series B Stock did not have a stated redemption date, the
value of the BCF was fully realized at the time our Series B Stock was issued. The value of the
BCF was treated as a deemed dividend to the holders of our Series B Stock and, due to the
potential immediate convertibility of our Series B Stock at issuance, was recorded as an
increase to additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit at the time of issuance. |
We also issued warrants to purchase up to 19,007 shares of our common stock at an exercise price
of $4.48 per share to the placement agent in the July 2009 financing as additional consideration
for its services in connection with the financing. These warrants had a fair value of
approximately $60,000 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as of the date of issuance
assuming a five-year term, stock volatility of 197.37%, and a risk-free interest rate of 2.4%.
The warrants became exercisable on January 7, 2010 and are exercisable at any time on or before
July 6, 2014. |
5% Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
In August 2009, we completed a registered direct equity financing raising gross proceeds of
approximately $0.9 million involving the issuance of 922 shares of our 5% Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share (Series C Stock). In the aggregate,
the shares of Series C Stock we issued were convertible into 283,692 shares of our common stock.
All of the shares of our Series C Stock have been converted into common stock and are no longer
outstanding. Our Series C Stock would have accrued a cumulative annual dividend of 5% per share
until February 10, 2012, and no dividend thereafter. In accordance with the terms of the Series
C Stock, because the Series C Stock was converted prior to February 10, 2012, we paid the
holders an amount equal to the total dividend that would have accrued in respect of the shares
converted from the issuance date through February 10, 2012, or $125 per $1,000 of stated value
of the shares converted. We received approximately $0.7 million in net proceeds from the
financing after deducting the $115,250 we placed into an escrow account to pay the aggregate
dividend payment in respect of our Series C Stock, placement agents fees and expenses and other
offering expenses. |
The convertible feature of our Series C Stock and the value of the dividend in respect thereof
provided for a rate of conversion that was below the market value of our common stock at
issuance. The convertible feature of our Series C Stock is characterized as a BCF. The estimated
relative fair value of the shares of our Series C Stock was calculated as approximately
$807,000. The value of the BCF was determined using the intrinsic value method and calculated as
approximately $186,000. Because our Series C Stock did not have a stated redemption date, the
value of the BCF was fully realized at the time our Series C Stock was issued. The value of the
BCF was treated as a deemed dividend to the holders of our Series C Stock and, due to the
potential immediate convertibility of our Series C Stock at issuance, was recorded as an
increase to additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit at the time of issuance. |
We also issued warrants to purchase up to 14,183 shares of our common stock at an exercise price
of $4.06 per share to the placement agent in the August 2009 financing as additional
consideration for its services in connection with the financing. These warrants had a fair value
of approximately $48,000 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as of the date of issuance
assuming a five-year term, stock volatility of 198.94%, and a risk-free interest rate of 2.75%.
The warrants became exercisable on February 10, 2010 and are exercisable at any time on or
before August 10, 2014. |

4.25660% Series D Convertible Preferred Stock |
In October 2009, we completed a registered direct equity financing raising gross proceeds of
approximately $11.3 million involving the issuance of 11,283 shares of our 4.25660% Series D
Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share (Series D Stock), and
5-year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 792,000 shares of our common stock. In the
aggregate, the shares of Series D Stock we issued were convertible into 2,400,000 shares of our
common stock. All of the shares of our Series D Stock have been converted into common stock and
are no longer outstanding. Our Series D Stock would have accrued a cumulative annual dividend
of 4.25660% per share until October 9, 2020, and no dividend thereafter. In accordance with the
terms of the Series D Stock, because the Series D Stock was converted prior to October 9, 2020,
we paid the holders an amount equal to the total dividend that would have accrued in respect of
the shares converted from the issuance date through October 9, 2020, or $468.23 per $1,000 of
stated value of the shares converted. We received approximately $5.1 million in net proceeds
from the financing after deducting the approximately $5.3 million we placed into an escrow
account to pay the aggregate dividend payment in respect of our Series D Stock, placement
agents fees and expenses and other offering expenses. In December 2009, in connection with the
exercise of warrants issued in the October 2009 financing, we issued 576,000 shares of our
common stock and received net proceeds of $2.1 million. We may receive an additional $0.8
million of net proceeds from the
exercise of the remaining warrants issued in the October 2009 financing. Those warrants, which
have an exercise price of $3.67 per share, are exercisable any time on or before October 9,
2014, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations. |
The convertible feature of our Series D Stock and the terms of the warrants issued in connection

value of our common stock at issuance. The convertible feature of our Series D Stock is
characterized as BCF. The estimated relative fair values of the shares of our Series D Stock
and the warrants issued in connection with such stock were calculated as approximately $3.9
million and $1.3 million, respectively. The value of the BCF was determined using the intrinsic
value method and calculated as approximately $3.3 million. Because our Series D Stock did not
have a stated redemption date, the value of the BCF was fully realized at the time our Series D
Stock was issued. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model as of the date of issuance assuming a five-year term, stock volatility of
197.63%, and a risk-free interest rate of 2.36%. The value of the BCF was treated as a deemed
dividend to the holders of our Series D Stock and, due to the potential immediate convertibility
of our Series D Stock at issuance, was recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital and
accumulated deficit at the time of issuance. |
We also issued warrants to purchase up to 144,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise
price of $5.88 per share to the placement agent in the October 2009 financing as additional
consideration for its services in connection with the financing. These warrants had a fair
value of approximately $452,000 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as of the date of
issuance assuming a five-year term, stock volatility of 197.63%, and a risk-free interest rate
of 2.36%. The warrants are exercisable at any time on or after April 7, 2010 and on or before
October 6, 2014. |

Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share (Series E Stock), and
30-month warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 498,488 shares of our common stock. In the
aggregate, the shares of Series E Stock we issued were convertible into 1,993,965 shares of our
common stock. All of the shares of our Series E Stock have been converted into common stock and
are no longer outstanding. Our Series E Stock would have accrued a cumulative annual dividend
of 3.73344597664961% per share until January 7, 2015, and no dividend thereafter. In accordance
with the terms of the Series E Stock, because the Series E Stock was converted prior to January
7, 2015, we paid the holders an amount equal to the total dividend that would have accrued in
respect of the shares converted from the issuance date through January 7, 2015, or $186.67 per
$1,000 of stated value of the shares converted. We received approximately $14.0 million in net
proceeds from the financing after deducting the approximately $3.5 million we placed into an
escrow account to pay the aggregate dividend payment in respect of our Series E Stock, placement
agents fees and expenses and other offering expenses. We may receive up to approximately $4.4
million of additional proceeds from the exercise of the warrants issued in the January 2010
financing. Those warrants, which have an exercise price of $8.75 per share, are exercisable any
time on or before July 6, 2012, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations. |

convertible into 5,190,312 shares of our common stock. As of June 30, 2010, 2,883.57 shares of
our Series F Stock were outstanding. All other shares of Series F Stock have been converted into
an aggregate of 4,411,220 shares of our common stock. We received approximately $13.3 million
in net proceeds from the financing after deducting the approximately $4.2 million we placed into
an escrow account to pay the aggregate dividend payment in respect of our Series F Stock,
placement agent and financial advisor fees and other offering expenses. We may receive up to
approximately $9.5 million of additional proceeds from the exercise of the warrants issued in
the May 2010 financing. The exercise price of the warrants is $3.65 per share. Subject to
certain beneficial ownership limitations, the 5-year warrants are exercisable any time on or
before May 6, 2015 and the 1-year warrants are exercisable any time on or before May 20, 2011. |
Our Series F Stock accrues a cumulative annual dividend of 2.19446320054018% per share until May
6, 2020, and no dividend thereafter. To the extent shares of our Series F Stock are converted at
any time prior to May 6, 2020, we are obligated to pay the holder an amount equal to the total
dividend that would have accrued in respect of the shares converted, or $219.45 per $1,000 of
stated value of the shares converted, less the amount of any dividend paid on such shares before
their conversion. As of June 30, 2010, we have paid an aggregate of $3.6 million out of the
escrow account in connection with payments due upon conversion of shares of our Series F Stock,
and there was approximately $0.6 million, which we classify as restricted cash, remaining in the
escrow account for the benefit of the holders of outstanding shares of our Series F Stock. The
dividend on our Series F Stock is payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1.
On July 1, 2010, we made a prorated payment of approximately $9,500 out of the escrow account
for the first quarterly dividend to the holders of outstanding shares of our Series F Stock. |
The convertible feature of our Series F Stock and the terms of the warrants issued in connection

characterized as BCF. The estimated relative fair values of the shares of our Series F Stock
and the warrants issued in connection with such stock were calculated as approximately $10.1
million and $4.9 million, respectively. The value of the BCF was determined using the intrinsic
value method and calculated as approximately $3.1 million. Because our Series F Stock did not
have a stated redemption date, the value of the BCF was fully realized at the time our Series F
Stock was issued. The fair value of the 5-year warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model as of the date of issuance assuming a 5-year term, stock volatility of
202%, and a risk-free interest rate of 2%. The fair value of the 1-year warrants was determined
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as of the date of issuance assuming a 1-year term,
stock volatility of 361%, and a risk-free interest rate of 0.4%. The value of the BCF was
treated as a deemed dividend to the holders of our Series F Stock and, due to the potential

Item 2. | Managements 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 the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes
appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical information, this discussion and
analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions.
Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements
as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to those identified under Forward
Looking Statements below and those discussed under the section entitled Risk Factors, in Item 1A
of Part I of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Overview
We are a development-stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on acquiring, developing and
commercializing proprietary product candidates for the treatment of cancer. We seek to improve the
performance of existing drugs by addressing limitations associated principally with their safety
and use. We have devoted substantially all of our resources to research and development, or R&D, or
to acquisition of our product candidates. We have not yet marketed or sold any products or
generated any significant revenue.
We have incurred annual net losses since inception, and, as of June 30, 2010, our accumulated net
losses amounted to $154.2 million. We had cash of approximately $31.2 million at June 30, 2010.
Our lead product candidates, ANX-530 (vinorelbine injectable emulsion), or Exelbine, and ANX-514
(docetaxel lyophilized emulsion for injection), are novel emulsion formulations of currently
marketed chemotherapy drugs. In December 2009, we submitted a new drug application, or NDA, for
Exelbine to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. In March 2010, we announced that we had
received a refusal-to-file letter from the FDA regarding our Exelbine NDA submission. In the
letter, the FDA indicated that the data included in our December 2009 Exelbine NDA submission from
the intended commercial manufacturing site was insufficient to support a commercially-viable
expiration dating period. The FDA identified only this one chemistry, manufacturing and controls,
or CMC, reason for the refusal to file. In April 2010, based on input from the FDA, we announced
that we intend to resubmit an Exelbine NDA in the fourth quarter of 2010. In June 2010, we
announced that 9-month stability data are on track to support the submission of an Exelbine NDA.
In addition to developing and seeking regulatory approval for Exelbine and ANX-514, we continue to
pursue partnering and other strategic opportunities for these product candidates. We are also
focused on expanding our product pipeline and we may do so through one or more in-license, asset
acquisition or merger transactions. In August 2010, we announced that we have engaged the
investment banking firm Canaccord Genuity Inc. to advise us in connection with expanding our
product pipeline and that our board of directors has formed a special committee to assist it in
evaluating potential opportunities. The special committee, consisting of Drs. Michael Goldberg,
Odysseas Kostas and Eric Rowinsky, meets regularly with management and Canaccord Genuity to
identify and evaluate opportunities and determine whether to recommend them to the full board of
directors.
We continue to evaluate the data from our bioequivalence study of ANX-514 and expect to meet with
the FDA to discuss the results. Based on discussions with clinicians and experts in taxane
pharmacokinetics, we continue to believe that the differences between study drugs observed in the
bioequivalence study are not clinically relevant and do not affect adversely the safety or efficacy
of ANX-514 relative to Taxotere. However, given our limited resources and our managements current
focus on submitting an Exelbine NDA, pursuing partnering and other strategic opportunities for
Exelbine and ANX-514 and expanding our product pipeline, we have not yet requested a meeting with
the FDA to discuss the results of our bioequivalence study of ANX-514, though we expect to do so
later this year.
In May 2010, we completed a registered direct equity financing raising gross proceeds of $19.2
million involving the issuance of 19,217.13 shares of our 2.19446320054018% Series F Convertible
Preferred Stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share (Series F Stock), and 5-year and 1-year
warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,595,156 shares of our common stock. In the aggregate,
the shares of Series F Stock we issued are convertible into 5,190,312 shares of our common stock.
As of June 30, 2010, 2,883.57 shares of our Series F Stock were outstanding. All other shares of
Series F Stock have been converted into an aggregate of 4,411,220 shares of our common stock. We
received approximately $13.3 million in net proceeds from the financing after deducting the
approximately $4.2 million we placed into an escrow account to pay the aggregate dividend payment
in respect of our Series F Stock, placement agents fees and expenses and other offering expenses.
We may receive up to approximately $9.5 million of additional proceeds from the exercise of the
warrants issued in the May 2010 financing. The exercise price of the warrants is $3.65 per share.
Subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, the 5-year warrants are exercisable any time
on or before May 6, 2015 and the 1-year warrants are exercisable any time on or before May 20,
2011. Our
11
Table of Contents
Series F Stock accrues a cumulative annual dividend of 2.19446320054018% per share until May 6, 2020, and no dividend thereafter. To the extent shares of
our Series F Stock are converted at any time prior to May 6, 2020, we are obligated to pay the
holder an amount equal to the total dividend that would have accrued in respect of the shares
converted, or $219.45 per $1,000 of stated value of the shares converted, less the amount of any
dividend paid on such shares before their conversion. As of June 30, 2010, we have paid an
aggregate of $3.6 million out of the escrow account in connection with the conversion of shares of
our Series F Stock, and there was approximately $0.6 million, which we classify as restricted cash,
remaining in the escrow account for the benefit of the holders of outstanding shares of our Series
F Stock. The dividend on our Series F Stock is payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and
October 1. On July 1, 2010, we made a prorated payment of approximately $9,500 out of the escrow
account for the first quarterly dividend to the holders of outstanding shares of our Series F
Stock.
We anticipate that our cash as of June 30, 2010 will be sufficient to fund our currently planned
level of operations for at least the next 12 months. However, we may seek to raise additional
capital to acquire new technologies and/or product candidates and support their development. In
addition, we may pursue development activities for our current product development programs at
levels or on timelines, or we may incur unexpected expenses, that shorten the period through which
our operating funds will sustain us. We may also need to raise substantial additional capital to
support activities that we believe will enhance the value of our current product development
programs and increase stockholder value. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on a
timely basis or on acceptable terms, if at all.
The FDA has accepted our proposed proprietary name, Exelbine, for ANX-530. The FDAs acceptance
of our Exelbine brand name is conditioned upon its review of an Exelbine NDA and its confirmation
of the information in the NDA regarding the safety of interchanging Exelbine with other vinorelbine
injectable products. We are developing commercial names for our other product candidates. All
trademarks, service marks or trade names appearing in this report, including but not limited to
Navelbine® and Taxotere®, are the property of their respective owners. Use or display by us of
other parties trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress or products is not intended to
and does not imply a relationship with, or endorsements or sponsorship of, us by the trademark,
service mark, trade name, trade dress or product owners.
Reverse Stock Split
On April 23, 2010 at 4:01 p.m. Eastern time, we effected a 1-for-25 reverse split of our common
stock, which was authorized by our stockholders at a special meeting held in August 2009. The
reverse stock split reduced the number of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of
April 23, 2010 from approximately 257.3 million shares to approximately 10.3 million shares. The
par value per share and the number of authorized shares of our common stock were not affected by
the reverse stock split. All share and per-share information for our common stock included in this
report for periods presented ending or as of a date on or prior to April 23, 2010, other than par
value and number of authorized shares, have been restated to reflect retrospective application of
the reverse stock split.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon
consolidated financial statements and condensed consolidated financial statements that we have
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of
these consolidated financial statements requires management to make a number of assumptions and
estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the
condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this report. On an
on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates and assumptions, including those related to recognition
of expenses in service contracts, license agreements and share-based compensation. Management bases
its estimates on historical information and assumptions believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from
these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue Recognition. We may enter into revenue arrangements that contain multiple deliverables. In
these cases, revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3)
the sellers price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably
assured.
Revenue from licensing agreements is recognized based on the performance requirements of the
agreement. Revenue is deferred for fees received before earned. Nonrefundable upfront fees that are
not contingent on any future performance by us are recognized as revenue when the license term
commences and the revenue recognition criteria are met. Nonrefundable upfront fees, where we have
ongoing involvement or performance obligations, are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as
revenue over the life of the contract, the period of the performance obligation or the development
period, whichever is appropriate in light of the circumstances.
12
Table of Contents
Payments related to substantive, performance-based milestones in an agreement are recognized as
revenue upon the achievement of the milestones as specified in the underlying agreement when they
represent the culmination of the earnings process. Royalty revenue from licensed products will be
recognized when earned in accordance with the terms of the applicable license agreements.
R&D Expenses. R&D expenses consist of expenses incurred in performing R&D activities, including
salaries and benefits, facilities and other overhead expenses, bioequivalence and clinical trials,
research-related manufacturing services, contract services and other outside expenses. R&D expenses
are charged to operations as the underlying work is performed. Advance payments, including
nonrefundable amounts, for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future R&D
activities are deferred and capitalized. Such amounts will be recognized as an expense as the
related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. If the goods will not be
delivered, or services will not be rendered, then the capitalized advance payment is charged to
expense.
Milestone payments that we make in connection with in-licensed technology or product candidates are
expensed as incurred when there is uncertainty in receiving future economic benefits from the
licensed technology or product candidates. We consider the future economic benefits from the
licensed technology or product candidates to be uncertain until such licensed technology is
incorporated into products that, or such product candidates, are approved for marketing by the FDA
or when other significant risk factors are abated. For accounting purposes, management has viewed
future economic benefits for all of our licensed technology or product candidates to be uncertain.
Payments in connection with our bioequivalence and clinical trials are often made under contracts
with multiple contract research organizations that conduct and manage these trials on our behalf.
The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation and vary from contract to
contract and may result in uneven payment flows. Generally, these agreements set forth the scope of
work to be performed at a fixed fee or unit price or on a time-and-materials basis. Payments under
these contracts depend on factors such as the successful enrollment or treatment of patients or the
completion of other milestones. Expenses related to bioequivalence and clinical trials are accrued
based on our estimates and/or representations from service providers regarding work performed,
including actual level of patient enrollment, completion of patient studies, and trial progress.
Other incidental costs related to patient enrollment or treatment are accrued when reasonably
certain. If the contracted amounts are modified (for instance, as a result of changes in the
bioequivalence or clinical trial protocol or scope of work to be performed), we modify our accruals
accordingly on a prospective basis. Revisions in scope of contract are charged to expense in the
period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become reasonably certain. Because of the
uncertainty of possible future changes to the scope of work in bioequivalence and clinical trials
contracts, we are unable to quantify an estimate of the reasonably likely effect of any such
changes on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. Historically, we have had
no material changes in our bioequivalence and clinical trial expense accruals that would have had a
material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
Purchased In-Process Research and Development. We adopted the Financial Accounting Standards
Boards, or FASBs, changes to Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 805, Business
Combinations, effective January 1, 2009. The adoption of the changes to ASC 805 did not have a
material effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. In accordance
with previous accounting guidance effective through December 31, 2008, we accounted for the costs
associated with any purchased in-process research and development, or IPR&D, as an expense on the
statement of operations upon acquisition. These amounts represent an estimate of the fair value of
purchased IPR&D for projects that, as of the acquisition date, had not yet reached technological
feasibility, had no alternative future use, and had uncertainty in generating future economic
benefits. We determine the future economic benefits from the purchased IPR&D to be uncertain until
such technology is incorporated into products approved for marketing by the FDA or when other
significant risk factors are abated.
Share-based Compensation Expenses. Effective January 1, 2006, we account for share-based
compensation awards granted to employees, including non-employee members of our board of directors,
in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation Stock Compensation. Share-based compensation expense
is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as
expense over the employees requisite service period. As share-based compensation expense is based
on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. ASC 718
requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent
periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on
historical experience. Although estimates of share-based compensation expenses are significant to
our consolidated financial statements, they are not related to the payment of any cash by us.
We estimate the fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model, or Black-Scholes model. The determination of the fair value of share-based
payment awards as of the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the price of
our common stock as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables.
These variables include, but are not limited to, our expected share price volatility over the term
of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, a risk-free interest
rate and expected dividends. We may elect to use different assumptions under the Black-Scholes
model in the future, which could materially affect our net income or loss and net income or loss
per share.
13
Table of Contents
We account for share-based compensation awards granted to non-employees by determining the fair
value of the share-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration
received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the share price
and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of (1) the date at which a commitment for
performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (2) the date at which
the counterpartys performance is complete.
Income Taxes. We account for income taxes and the related accounts under the liability method in
accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based
on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the income tax bases of
assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is applied against any net deferred tax asset if,
based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized.
The tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in our consolidated financial
statements only if the position is more likely than not of being sustained upon an examination by
tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if, based on available
evidence, it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. As part of our efforts to reduce operating
costs, we completed one workforce reduction in the fourth quarter of 2008 and two workforce
reductions in the first six months of 2009, each of which was accounted for in accordance with ASC
420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. We recorded severance-related charges, including salary,
payroll taxes and healthcare benefits, of $757,000 in the aggregate over three consecutive quarters
beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008. We recorded severance-related charges of $350,000 in the
first quarter of 2009, of which $237,000 was recorded in research and development and the balance
was recorded in selling, general and administrative, and $163,000 in the second quarter of 2009, of
which $121,000 was recorded in research and development and the balance was recorded in selling,
general and administrative. As of June 30, 2009, all severance-related costs associated with these
workforce reductions had been paid.
Convertible Instruments. At issuance, we value separately embedded beneficial conversion features
present in convertible securities. Embedded beneficial conversion features are recognized by
allocating to additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit that portion of the net proceeds
from the sale of the convertible security equal to the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion
feature. Intrinsic value is calculated as the difference, as of the commitment date, between the
conversion price of the convertible security and the fair value of the common stock underlying the
convertible security, which for us is the closing price of a share of our common stock as
determined by the NYSE Amex multiplied by the number of shares of our common stock into which the
convertible security is convertible. If the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature
is greater than the net proceeds allocated to the convertible security, the amount of the discount
assigned to the beneficial conversion feature is limited to the amount of the net proceeds. In our
registered direct equity financings that closed in June, July, August and October 2009 and in
January and May 2010, we issued convertible preferred stock securities with non-detachable
conversion features that were in-the-money as of the commitment date, which we recognized as
beneficial conversion features. Except for 2,883.57 shares of our Series F Stock that were
outstanding as of June 30, 2010, all shares of the convertible preferred stock we issued in these
financings have been converted into common stock at fixed conversion rates. The embedded beneficial
conversion features were valued separately and recognized by allocating to additional paid-in
capital and accumulated deficit a portion of the net proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of the
beneficial conversion features.
The foregoing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In most
cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting
principles generally accepted in the U.S.
Results of Operations
A general understanding of the drug development process is critical to understanding our results of
operations. Drug development in the U.S. and most countries throughout the world is a process that
includes several steps defined by the FDA and similar regulatory authorities in foreign countries.
The FDA approval processes relating to new drug products differ depending on the nature of the
particular product candidate for which approval is sought. With respect to any product candidate
with active ingredients not previously approved by the FDA, a prospective drug product manufacturer
is required to submit an NDA that includes complete reports of pre-clinical, clinical and
laboratory studies and extensive manufacturing information to demonstrate such products safety and
effectiveness. The NDA process generally requires, before the submission of the NDA, filing of an
investigational new drug application, or IND, pursuant to which permission is sought to begin
clinical testing of the new product candidate. An NDA based on published safety and effectiveness
studies conducted by others, or previous findings of safety and effectiveness by the FDA, may be
submitted under Section 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or the FDCA.
14
Table of Contents
Generally, with respect to any product candidate with active ingredients not previously approved by
the FDA, an NDA must be supported by data from at least phase 1, phase 2 and phase 3 clinical
trials. Phase 1 clinical trials can be expected to last from 6 to 18 months, phase 2 clinical
trials can be expected to last from 12 to 24 months and phase 3 clinical trials can be expected to
last from 18
to 36 months. However, clinical development timelines vary widely, as do the total costs of
clinical trials and the likelihood of success. We anticipate that we will make determinations as to
which of our R&D programs to pursue and how much funding to direct to each R&D program on an
ongoing basis in response to the scientific, nonclinical and clinical success of the underlying
product candidate, our ongoing assessment of its market potential and our available resources.
Future expenditures on R&D programs are subject to many uncertainties, including whether we seek
approval of product candidates under Section 505(b)(2) of the FDCA or seek approval of product
candidates with active ingredients not previously approved by the FDA, and whether we will further
develop our product candidates with a partner or independently. At this time, due to such
uncertainties and the risks inherent in drug product development and the associated regulatory
process, we cannot estimate with reasonable certainty the duration of or costs to complete our R&D
programs or whether or when or to what extent revenues will be generated from the commercialization
and sale of any of our product candidates. The duration and costs of our R&D programs, in
particular those associated with bioequivalence or clinical trials and research-related
manufacturing, can vary significantly among programs as a result of a variety of factors,
including:
| the number and location of sites included in trials and the rate of site approval for
the trial; |
||
| the rates of patient recruitment and enrollment; |
||
| the ratio of randomized to evaluable patients; |
||
| the availability and cost of reference product in the jurisdiction of each site; |
||
| the time and cost of process development activities related to our product
candidates; |
||
| the costs of manufacturing our product candidates; |
||
| the time and cost of stability studies, including the need to identify critical
parameters, methods to evaluate and test these parameters and validation of such methods
and tests; and |
||
| the costs, requirements, timing of and the ability to secure regulatory approvals. |
The difficult process of seeking regulatory approvals for our product candidates and compliance
with applicable regulations requires the expenditure of substantial resources. Any failure by us to
obtain, or any delay in obtaining, regulatory approvals could cause our R&D expenditures to
increase and, in turn, have a material and unfavorable effect on our results of operations. We
cannot be certain when, if ever, we will generate revenues from sales of any of our products.
While many of our R&D expenses are transacted in U.S. dollars, certain significant expenses are
required to be paid in foreign currencies and expose us to transaction gains and losses that could
result from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In particular, our current contract
manufacturer, which is also our intended commercial manufacturer, for both Exelbine and ANX-514 is
located outside the U.S. and generally we pay for its services, including technology transfer and
process development and validation activities related to ANX-514, in Euros. As a result, our
exposure to currency risk likely will increase as we move our products towards commercialization
and increase the services we request from our current contract manufacturer. We include realized
gains and losses from foreign currency transactions in operations as incurred.
We operate our business and evaluate our company on the basis of a single reportable segment, which
is the business of in-licensing, developing and commercializing proprietary product candidates for
the treatment of cancer.
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
Revenue. We recognized no revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 or 2009.
We have not generated any revenue from product sales to date, and we do not expect to generate
revenue from product sales until such time, if any, that we have obtained approval from a
regulatory agency to sell one or more of our product candidates, which we cannot predict will
occur.

Table of Contents
R&D Expenses. We maintain and evaluate our R&D expenses by the type of cost incurred rather than by
project. We maintain and evaluate R&D expenses by type primarily because we out-source a
substantial portion of our work and our R&D personnel and
consultants work across multiple programs rather than dedicating their time to one particular
program. We began maintaining such expenses by type on January 1, 2005. The following table
summarizes our consolidated R&D expenses by type for each of the periods listed:

R&D expenses decreased by $0.8 million, or approximately 56%, to $0.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease in
R&D expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 was due
primarily to a $0.8 million decrease in external nonclinical study fees and expenses, attributable
to a $1.0 million decrease in research-related manufacturing expenses for Exelbine and ANX-514,
offset by a $0.2 million increase in fees for consulting services related to Exelbine and ANX-514.
R&D expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 included $0.1 million of severance costs. We
expect R&D expenses to increase relative to 2009 if and to the extent we in-license or acquire and
pursue development of new technologies or product candidates in 2010.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative, or SG&A,
expenses increased by $0.2 million, or approximately 22%, to $1.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2010, compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2009. SG&A expenses for the
three months ended June 30, 2009 were lower due primarily to a $0.2 million non-cash credit
recorded in that period, which adjustment was made to correct an over-accrual of severance-related
expenses in prior periods. Excluding the severance-related expenses adjustment, SG&A expenses for
the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were comparable. We expect SG&A expenses to increase
relative to 2009 if and to the extent we in-license or acquire and pursue development of new
technologies or product candidates in 2010.
Interest and Other Income. Interest income amounted to $23,308 for the three months ended June 30,
2010, compared to $338 for the same period in 2009. The increase in interest income for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 was attributable primarily to overall larger invested balances in 2010
as compared to 2009. Even though we raised a substantial amount of additional capital through our
registered direct equity financings in 2009 and in January and May 2010, we expect that interest
income will continue to be low due to negligible interest rates.
Net Loss Applicable to Common Stock. Net loss applicable to common stock was $5.0 million, or
$0.39 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to net loss applicable to
common stock of $3.8 million, or $1.02 per share, for the same period in 2009. Included in net loss
applicable to common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were non-cash deemed
dividend expenses of $3.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, related to our May 2010 and June
2009 registered direct equity financings. Included in both net loss and net loss applicable to
common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were charges associated with our workforce
reductions completed in October 2008 and in January and April 2009.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
Revenue. We recognized no revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We recognized revenue of
$0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, which represents a nonrefundable license fee
under our March 2009 license agreement with respect to ANX-514 with Shin Poong Pharmaceutical Co.,
Ltd.

R&D expenses decreased by $1.2 million, or approximately 40%, to $1.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease in
R&D expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 was due
primarily to a $0.7 million decrease in personnel costs attributable to lower headcount and the
absence of severance costs in 2010 and a $0.5 million decrease in external bioequivalence trial
expenses as a result of the completion of patient enrollment in the ANX-514 bioequivalence study in
the first quarter of 2009 and the completion of ANX-510 studies in the first quarter of 2009. R&D
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included $0.4 million of severance costs associated
with our 2009 and 2008 workforce reductions.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses decreased by $0.4 million, or
approximately 13%, to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $2.9 million
for the same period in 2009. The decrease was due primarily to a $0.5 million decrease in
personnel costs attributable to lower headcount and the absence of severance costs in 2010, a $0.2
million decrease in fees for professional legal, audit and tax services and a $0.1 million decrease
in the cost of our facilities lease, offset by a $0.3 million increase in director compensation and
stock compensation expense and a $0.1 million increase in fees for accounting, investor relations
and commercialization consulting services.
Interest and Other Income. Interest income amounted to $41,748 for the six months ended June 30,
2010, compared to $2,392 for the same period in 2009. The increase in interest income for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 was attributable primarily to overall larger invested balances in 2010
as compared to 2009.
Net Loss Applicable to Common Stock. Net loss applicable to common stock was $10.0 million, or
$0.86 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to net loss applicable to common
stock of $7.0 million, or $1.90 per share, for the same period in 2009. Included in net loss
applicable to common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were non-cash deemed
dividend expenses of $5.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, related to our January and May
2010 and June 2009 registered direct equity financings. Included in both net loss and net loss
applicable to common stock for 2009 were charges associated with our 2009 and 2008 workforce
reductions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have a history of recurring losses from operations and we have funded our operations primarily
through sales of our equity securities. We had a net loss of $4.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 and cash of approximately $31.2 million as of June 30, 2010.
In January and May 2010, we completed registered direct equity financings involving the issuance,
respectively, of shares of our 3.73344597664961% Series E Convertible Preferred Stock and our
2.19446320054018% Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. These financings resulted in an aggregate
of $38.2 million in gross proceeds and an aggregate of $27.4 million in adjusted net proceeds after
deducting the fees and expenses of our placement agent and financial advisor in the those
financings, our offering expenses and the amounts deposited into an escrow account to fund our
dividend and related payment obligations.
In addition, in January 2010, we received an aggregate of $0.3 million of net proceeds and issued
an aggregate of 84,651 shares of our common stock in connection with the exercise of warrants
issued in our June 2009 registered direct equity financing.
We may receive up to $0.8 million, $4.4 million and $9.5 million of additional net proceeds from
the exercise of warrants issued in the registered direct equity financings we completed in October
2009 and January and May 2010, respectively; however, the exercise of these warrants is subject to
certain beneficial ownership limitations. In addition, we may receive up to $2.3 million of
additional net proceeds from the exercise of warrants issued to our placement agent as additional
consideration for its services in connection with our June, July, August and October 2009 and
January 2010 registered direct equity financings.

See Note 10, Stockholders Equity, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited) in this report, for a more detailed discussion regarding these financings.
For a discussion of our liquidity and capital resources outlook , see Management Outlook below.
Operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $5.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 compared to $6.2 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease in cash
used in operating activities was due primarily to the restructuring and cost-cutting initiatives we
implemented beginning in October 2008 through April 2009, specifically our workforce reductions and
our discontinuation of active work on all development programs, other than Exelbine and ANX-514, to
which we have or had rights during that period.
Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $6,780 for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $14,049 for the same period
in 2009. The difference was due to the purchase of property and equipment in the six months ended
June 30, 2010 compared to the receipt of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment in the
six months ended June 30, 2009.
Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $27.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2009. The cash provided
by financing activities in 2010 reflects adjusted net proceeds of $27.4 million from our January
and May 2010 registered direct equity financings and proceeds of $0.3 million from the exercise of
warrants issued in our June 2009 registered direct equity financing.
Management Outlook
We anticipate that our cash as of June 30, 2010 will be sufficient to fund our currently planned
level of operations for at least the next 12 months. However, our future capital uses and
requirements will be affected by numerous forward-looking factors that, depending on their actual
outcome, could shorten or extend the period through which our operating funds will sustain us.
These factors include, but are not limited to: the extent to which we acquire new technologies,
product candidates, products or businesses; the scope, prioritization and number of development
and/or commercialization programs we pursue; the rate of progress and costs of development and
regulatory approval activities associated with our product candidates; the extent to which we
partner or collaborate with third parties to develop, seek regulatory approval of and commercialize
our product candidates, or sell or license our product candidates or proprietary technologies to
others; the costs and timing of acquiring or developing sales, marketing and distribution
capabilities and the regulatory compliance and administrative capabilities to commercialize
Exelbine in the U.S., if Exelbine is ultimately approved by the FDA and we determine to
commercialize it without a partner; the costs and timing of acquiring or developing similar
commercialization capabilities for other of our product candidates, including ANX-514, if we
determine to commercialize any of them without a partner; and whether any of our product candidates
for which we receive regulatory approval, if any, achieve broad market acceptance. In addition,
currently, we have only three full-time employees and one part-time employee and rely on third
parties to perform many essential services for us. Increasing the size of our workforce will also
impact the period through which our operating funds will sustain us, but the timing and extent to
which we do so is difficult to predict as it will be influenced by the rate of progress of
development and regulatory approval of our product candidates and whether we partner them, as well
as the extent to which we acquire and develop new technologies, product candidates, products or
businesses.
We continue to pursue partnering and other strategic opportunities for Exelbine and ANX-514,
including the sale or exclusive license of one or both of them. However, partnering and other
strategic options may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to
consummate partnering or other strategic transactions with regard to Exelbine and ANX-514, we may
determine to commercialize these product candidates in the U.S. without a partner. The FDA has
confirmed the appropriateness of a Section 505(b)(2) regulatory path for Exelbine and ANX-514;
however, the FDAs view may change. If the FDA requires additional nonclinical testing or clinical
studies beyond the bioequivalence studies we have conducted for each of Exelbine and ANX-514, we
may determine the associated time and cost is not financially justifiable and, as a result,
discontinue these programs.
We are also spending significant time and attention identifying and evaluating opportunities to
expand our product pipeline and may do so through one or more in-license, asset acquisition or
merger transactions. We believe that, due to a challenging capital raising environment, many drug
development programs with substantial potential currently are
available at attractive valuations. If we seek to expand our product pipeline through a merger or
other business combination with one of these companies, given our recent market capitalization and
our desire to preserve our cash for development activities, such a transaction may result in our
stockholders owning less than a majority of the voting securities of the surviving entity. The
process of identifying and evaluating various opportunities may be lengthy and complex and divert
managements attention from our current development programs, and we may not be able to acquire or
acquire rights to additional technologies and/or product candidates on acceptable terms, or at all.
We have limited resources to identify, evaluate, negotiate and implement the acquisition of new
technologies and/or
product candidates or rights thereto and to integrate them into our current infrastructure.
Supplementing our current resources to complete one or more transactions may be costly. We
anticipate that our capital requirements will increase in future periods if we are successful in
expanding our product pipeline.

We may also seek to raise additional capital through public or private sales of our equity
securities or debt financings. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on a timely basis
or on acceptable terms, if at all.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations, includes forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are
statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including statements we make regarding

similar expressions. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements we make regarding expanding our product pipeline, activities related to developing and
seeking regulatory approval for Exelbine and ANX-514, seeking to partner or collaborate with third
parties with respect to the development and commercialization of Exelbine and ANX-514, the sale or
exclusive license of one or both of these product candidate programs, raising additional capital,
and our belief that we have sufficient liquidity to fund our currently planned level of operations
for at least the next 12 months. The foregoing is not an exclusive list of all forward-looking
statements we make.
We have based the forward-looking statements we make on our current expectations and projections
about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of
operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and
financial needs. The forward-looking statements we make are subject to risks and uncertainties that
could cause our actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such forward-looking
statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited
to the following:
| the extent to which we acquire new technologies, product candidates, products or
businesses and our ability to integrate them successfully into our operations; |
||
| the potential that we may enter into a merger or other business combination whereby
the stockholders who own the majority of our voting securities prior to the transaction
own less than a majority after the transaction; |

||
| the potential that we may enter into one or more commercial partnerships or other
strategic transactions relating to Exelbine and/or ANX-514, and the terms of any such
transactions; |

transaction, if necessary, on a timely basis, or at all; |
||
| our ability to obtain additional funding on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, or
at all; |
||
| the extent to which we rebuild our workforce and our ability to attract and retain
qualified personnel and manage growth; |
||
| delays in the commencement or completion of nonclinical testing, bioequivalence or
clinical trials of or manufacturing, regulatory or launch activities related to our
product candidates; |
||
| the success of future bioequivalence or clinical trials;

approval without a partner; |
||
| whether any of our product candidates for which we receive regulatory approval, if
any, achieve broad market acceptance; |
||
| our ability to maintain our relationships with the single source manufacturers and

and supply, as applicable, our products and their component materials on a commercial
scale, if we receive regulatory approval to commercialize our product candidates; |
||
