1. Business and Basis of Presentation
Business
Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Spectrum, the Company, we, our, or us) is a
biotechnology company with fully integrated commercial and drug development operations, with a
primary focus in oncology. Our strategy is comprised of acquiring, developing and commercializing a
broad and diverse pipeline of late-stage clinical and commercial products. We market two oncology
drugs, ZEVALIN® and FUSILEV® and have two drugs, apaziquone and belinostat,
in late stage development along with a diversified pipeline of novel drug candidates. We have
assembled an integrated in-house scientific team, including formulation development, clinical
development, medical research, regulatory affairs, biostatistics and data management, and have
established a commercial infrastructure for the marketing of our drug products. We also leverage
the expertise of our worldwide partners to assist in the execution of our strategy. Apaziquone is
presently being studied in two large Phase 3 clinical trials for non-muscle invasive bladder
cancer, or NMIBC, and is under strategic collaborations with Allergan, Inc., (Allergan), Nippon
Kayaku Co. Ltd., (Nippon Kayaku), and Handok Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd., (Handok). Belinostat,
is being studied in multiple indications including a Phase 2 registrational trial for relapsed or
refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma, (PTCL), under a strategic collaboration with TopoTarget
A/S (TopoTarget).
Basis of Presentation
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) for
interim reporting. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring, that
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the financial position as of June 30,
2011 and the results of operations and cash flows for the related interim periods ended June 30,
2011 and 2010. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011 or
for any other periods.
Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies followed by us and other information are contained in the notes to our
audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 10, 2011. We have not changed our significant accounting
policies as of June 30, 2011. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in connection
with the information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 10, 2011.
Segment and Geographic Information
We operate in one reportable segment: acquiring, developing and commercializing prescription
drug products. Accordingly, we report the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
in the aggregate, including all of our activities in one reportable segment. Foreign operations
were not significant for any of the periods presented herein.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and
disclosure of contingent obligations in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The
estimation process requires assumptions to be made about
future events and conditions, and as such, is inherently subjective and uncertain. Actual
results could differ materially from our estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that eliminates the option to
present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in equity and
requires an entity to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in a single
continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This
guidance also requires an entity to present on the face of the financial statements
reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income. This guidance will be
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, which will be our fiscal year 2012,
with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of the guidance will have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that clarifies and amends the
existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. This guidance will be effective
prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, which will be our
fiscal year 2012, with early adoption prohibited. We do not expect the adoption of the guidance
will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting
standards update that provides guidance on the recognition and classification of the annual fee
imposed by the Patient Protection Act and Affordable Care Act as amended by the Health Care and
Education Reconciliation Act on pharmaceutical companies that manufacture or import branded
prescription drugs. Under this guidance, the annual fee should be estimated and recognized in full
as a liability upon the first qualifying sale with a corresponding deferred cost that is amortized
to operating expense using a straight-line method of allocation unless another method better
allocates the fee over the calendar year in which it is payable. The annual fee ranges from $2.5
billion to $4.1 billion for all affected entities in total, a portion of which will be allocated to
us on the basis of the amount of our branded prescription drug sales for the preceding year as a
percentage of the industrys branded prescription drug sales for the same period. The annual fee is
not deductible for federal income tax purposes. This guidance became effective for calendar years
beginning after December 31, 2010. We adopted the provisions of the guidance in the first quarter
of 2011, and current estimates do not result in a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that provides guidance on the
milestone method of revenue recognition for research and development arrangements. Under the
milestone method contingent consideration received from the achievement of a substantive milestone
is recognized in its entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved, which we believe is
more consistent with the substance of our performance under our various licensing and collaboration
agreements. A milestone is defined as an event (i) that can only be achieved based in whole or in
part on either the entitys performance or on the occurrence of a specific outcome resulting from
the entitys performance, (ii) for which there is substantive uncertainty at the date the
arrangement is entered into that the event will be achieved, and (iii) that would result in
additional payments being due to the entity. A milestone is substantive if the consideration
earned from the achievement of the milestone is consistent with our performance required to achieve
the milestone or the increase in value to the collaboration resulting from our performance, relates
solely to our past performance, and is reasonable relative to all of the other deliverables and
payments within the arrangement. Our license and collaboration agreements with our partners
provide for payments to us upon the achievement of development milestones, such as the completion
of clinical trials or regulatory approval for drug candidates. As of June 30, 2011, our agreements
with partners included potential future payments to us for development milestones totaling
approximately $323.0 million, including potential milestone payments totaling $304.0 million and
$19.0 million from our agreements with Allergan and Handok Pharmaceuticals, respectively. Given
the challenges inherent in developing and obtaining approval for pharmaceutical and biologic
products, there was substantial uncertainty whether any such milestones would be achieved at the
time these licensing and collaboration agreements were entered into. In addition, we evaluated
whether the development milestones met the remaining criteria to be considered substantive. As a
result of our analysis, we consider our development milestones to be substantive and, accordingly,
we expect to recognize as revenue future payments
received from such milestones as we achieve each milestone. The election to adopt the
milestone method did not impact our financial position or results of operations as of and for the
three month period ended June 30, 2011. However, this policy election may result in revenue
recognition patterns for future milestones that are materially different from those recognized for
milestones received prior to adoption.

Table of Contents
Acquisitions and Collaborations
For all in-licensed products, pursuant to authoritative guidance issued by the FASB, we perform
an analysis to determine whether we hold a variable interest or interests that give us a
controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. On the basis of our interpretations
and conclusions, we determine whether the acquisition falls under the purview of variable interest
entity accounting and if so, consider the necessity to consolidate the acquisition
We also perform an analysis to determine if the inputs and/or processes acquired in an
acquisition qualify as a business. On the basis of our interpretations and conclusions, we
determine if the in-licensed products qualify as a business and whether to account for such
products as a business combination or an asset acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over
the fair value of the net assets acquired can only be recognized as goodwill in a business
combination.
Variable Interest Entity
Our Canadian affiliate, Spectrum Pharma Canada, is owned 50% by us and was organized in
Quebec, Canada in January 2008. We fund 100% of the expenditures and, as a result we are the party with
the controlling financial interest. We are the primary beneficiary of Spectrum Pharma Canada, which is
determined to be a variable interest entity. As a result of this characterization, it is
consolidated in our financial statements as though it is a wholly-owned subsidiary. We have
eliminated all significant intercompany balances and transactions among our consolidated entities
from the consolidated financial statements.
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share
We calculate basic and diluted net income (loss) per share using the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the periods presented, and adjust the amount of net income
(loss) used in this calculation for preferred stock dividends (if any) declared during the period.
In periods of a net loss position, basic and diluted weighted average shares are the same. For the
diluted earnings per share calculation, we adjust the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding to include dilutive stock options, warrants and other common stock equivalents
outstanding during the periods.

2. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
As of June 30, 2011, we held substantially all of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities at major financial institutions, which must invest our funds in accordance with our
investment policy with the principal objectives of such policy being preservation of capital,
fulfillment of liquidity needs and above market returns commensurate with preservation of capital.
Our investment policy also requires that investments in marketable securities be in only highly
rated instruments, which are primarily US treasury bills or US treasury backed securities, with
limitations on investing in securities of any single issuer. To a limited degree, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation and third party insure these investments. However, these investments
are not insured against the possibility of a complete loss of earnings or principal and are
inherently subject to the credit risk related to the continued credit worthiness of the underlying
issuer and general credit market risks. We manage such risks on our portfolio by investing in
highly liquid, highly rated instruments and not investing in long-term maturity instruments.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities, including long term bank
certificates of deposits, totaled $118.5 million and $104.2 million as of June 30, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, respectively. Long term bank certificates of deposit include a $500,000
restricted certificate of deposit that collateralizes tenant improvement obligations to the lessor
of our principal offices. The following is a summary of such investments (in thousands):

3. Fair Value Measurements
The carrying values of our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, other securities
and common stock warrants, carried at fair value as of June 30, 2011 are classified in the table
below in one of the three categories of the fair value hierarchy described below:

We measure fair value based on the prices 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. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used
to measure fair value. These tiers include the following:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that
are accessible at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to
Level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but
corroborated by market data. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities;
quoted market prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be
corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or
liabilities.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair
value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as consider
counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value. Cash equivalents consist of certificates
of deposit and are valued at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities
of these instruments. Marketable securities consist of certificates of deposit, US Treasury bills,
US Treasury-backed securities and corporate deposits, which are stated at fair market value, based
on values provided us by the financial institutions where we invest our funds.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the fair value of common stock warrants
increased approximately $6.5 million due to the change in value of warrants recognized in earnings
during the period. The fair value of common stock warrants are measured on their respective
origination dates and at the end of each reporting period using Level 3 inputs. The significant
assumptions we use in the calculations under the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model as of June 30,
2011, included an expected term based on the remaining contractual life of the warrants, a
risk-free interest rate based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the
instruments, volatility based on the historical volatility of our common stock, and a zero dividend
rate based on our past, current and expected practices of granting dividends on common stock.
We did not elect the fair value option, as allowed, to account for financial assets and liabilities
that were not previously carried at fair value. Therefore, material financial assets and
liabilities that are not carried at fair value, such as trade accounts receivable and payable, are
reported at their historical carrying values.

7. Income Taxes
On an interim basis, we estimate what the anticipated annual effective tax rate will be and
record a quarterly income tax provision in accordance with this anticipated annual rate. The
effective tax rate may be subject to fluctuations during the year as new information is obtained,
which may affect the assumptions used to estimate the annual effective tax rate, including factors
such as the valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, the recognition or derecognition of
tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions, expected utilization of R&D tax credits and
changes in or the interpretation of tax laws in jurisdictions where the we conduct business.
Our provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of
temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and
for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are determined using the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in
which those tax assets are expected to be realized. A valuation allowance is established when it is
more likely than not the future realization of all or some of the deferred tax assets will not be
achieved. The evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance is performed on a jurisdiction by
jurisdiction basis, and includes a review of all available positive and negative evidence. As of
June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we maintained
a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets that we concluded have not met the more
likely than not threshold. The change in the valuation allowance was primarily due to a
corresponding change in a deferred tax asset that we determined required a valuation allowance.

Table of Contents
We recognize excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation to stockholders
equity only when realized. When assessing whether excess tax benefits relating to share-based
compensation have been realized, we follow the with-and-without approach, excluding any indirect
effects of the excess tax deductions. Under this approach, excess tax benefits related to
share-based compensation are not deemed to be realized until after the utilization of all other tax
benefits available to us.
We recognize the impact of a tax position in our financial statements only if that position is
more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the
technical merits of the position. Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions
will be reflected in income tax expense.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
Facility Lease
We sublease our principal executive office in Henderson, Nevada under a non cancelable
operating lease expiring April 30, 2014. We also lease our research and development facility in
Irvine, California under a non cancelable operating lease expiring June 30, 2016. The lease
agreements contain certain scheduled rent increases which are accounted for on a straight-line
basis.
As part of our Irvine facility lease renewal in 2009, the landlord agreed to contribute up to
approximately $1.5 million toward the cost of tenant improvements. The tenant improvements were
completed in the second quarter of 2010 at an aggregate cost of approximately $1.4 million, of
which, $451,000 is being financed. This landlord contribution is being amortized on a straight-line
basis over the term of the lease as a reduction to rent expense.
Licensing Agreements
We are developing almost all of our drug candidates pursuant to license agreements that
provide us with rights in certain territories, among other things, to develop, sublicense,
manufacture and sell the drugs. We are generally required to use commercially reasonable efforts to
develop the drugs, and are generally responsible for all development, patent filing and
maintenance, sales and marketing and liability insurance costs, and are generally contingently
obligated to make milestone payments to the licensors if we successfully reach development and
regulatory milestones specified in the license agreements. In addition, we are obligated to pay
royalties and, in some cases, milestone payments based on net sales, if any, after marketing
approval is obtained from regulatory authorities.
The potential contingent development and regulatory milestone obligations under all of our
licensing agreements are generally tied to progress through the various regulatory authorities
approval process, which approval significantly depends on positive clinical trial results. The
following items are typical of such milestone events: conclusion of Phase 2 or commencement of
Phase 3 clinical trials; filing of new drug applications in each of the United States, Europe and
Japan; and approvals from each of the regulatory agencies in those jurisdictions.
In November 2009, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Handok
Pharmaceuticals of Korea for the development and commercialization of apaziquone for the treatment
of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer in North and South Korea. Under the terms of the Handok
collaboration agreement, Handok paid us an up-front payment of $1.0 million and is required to pay
potential milestone payments of approximately $19.0 million. The potential milestones will be
based on the achievement of certain regulatory and commercialization milestones.
14
Table of Contents
In October 2008, we signed an exclusive development and commercialization collaboration
agreement with Allergan for apaziquone. Under the terms of the agreement, Allergan paid us an
up-front non-refundable $41.5 million at closing and will make additional payments of up to $304
million based on the achievement of certain development, regulatory and commercialization
milestones. In June 2011, we amended the Agreement to, among other
things, revise the target indications of additional clinical trials,
extend certain milestone dates, and to modify certain payment
obligations and expense allocation provisions.
In March 2006, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Targent, Inc. As part of the
consideration for the purchase of certain assets, we agreed to pay milestone payments to Targent
upon the achievement of certain regulatory events as well as for certain sales levels for Fusilev
within a calendar year. In connection with the achievement of the FDA approval milestone in April
2011, we issued an aggregate amount of 733,715 shares of common stock to certain of Targents
stockholders, as directed by Targent. We capitalized $6.3 million associated with this milestone
as intangible assets during the three months ended June 30, 2011 which is being amortized over the
estimated useful life of 8.7 years.
In addition, in the event that aggregate net sales of Fusilev, as defined in the agreement,
exceed $40 million and or $100 million during any calendar year, we are to pay to Targent $5
million in cash or the common stock equivalent thereof for each milestone. These milestone
payments are in effect only with respect to the first calendar year in which aggregate net Sales
combined exceed such amount and not with respect to any subsequent calendar year in which aggregate
net Sales of the products combined exceed such amounts. As of June 30, 2011, we achieved the first
sales milestone of $40 million and have the option of paying $5 million in cash or common stock equivalent thereof.
This payment is subject to direction from Targent. In the event we determine to pay this milestone in stock, it will equate to 577,367 shares.
Included in cost of goods
sold expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 is $171,000 related to the amortization of these
milestones.
As of June 30, 2011, we determined that it is probable that our aggregate Net Sales of Fusilev
will exceed $100 million for the fiscal year ended December 31 2011, and recorded the liability for
the milestone payment of $5 million under Accounts payable and other accrued obligations and
corresponding intangible assets to be amortized over the estimated useful life.
Service Agreements
In connection with the research and development of our drug products, we have entered into
contracts with numerous third party service providers, such as radio-pharmacies, distributors,
clinical trial centers, clinical research organizations, data monitoring centers, and with drug
formulation, development and testing laboratories. The financial terms of these contracts are
varied and generally obligate us to pay in stages, depending on the occurrence of certain events
specified in the contracts, such as contract execution, reservation of service or production
capacity, actual performance of service, or the successful accrual and dosing of patients.
At each period end, we accrue for all costs of goods and services received, with such accruals
based on factors such as estimates of work performed, patient enrollment, completion of patient
studies and other events. Generally, we are in a position to accelerate, slow down or discontinue
any or all of the projects that we are working on at any given point in time. Should we decide to
discontinue and/or slow down the work on any project, the associated costs for those projects would
be limited to the extent of the work completed. Generally, we are able to terminate these contracts
due to the discontinuance of the related project(s) and can thus avoid paying for the services that
have not yet been rendered and our future purchase obligations would reduce accordingly.
Employment Agreement
We have entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Rajesh C. Shrotriya, our President and Chief
Executive Officer, which expires January 2, 2012. The employment agreement automatically renews for
subsequent one-year calendar term unless either party gives written notice of such partys intent
not to renew the agreement at least 90 days prior to the commencement of the new term. The
employment agreement requires Dr. Shrotriya to devote his full working time and effort to our
business and affairs during the term of the agreement. The employment agreement provides for a
minimum annual base salary with annual increases, periodic bonuses and option grants as determined
by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors.

Table of Contents
Litigation
We are involved with various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of our business.
Although the ultimate resolution of these various matters cannot be determined at this time, we do
not believe that such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse
effect on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
9. Stockholders Equity
Warrant Activity
We have issued warrants to purchase shares of our common stock to investors as part of
financing transactions, or in connection with services rendered by consultants. Our outstanding
warrants expire on varying dates through June 2015. Below is a summary of warrant activity during
the six months ended June 30, 2011:

Share-Based Compensation
We record share-based employee compensation expense for all equity-based programs, including
stock options, restricted stock grants, 401(k) plan matching and our employee stock purchase plan.
Total expense recorded for the three and six month periods ended June 30, is as shown below:

Stock Options
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, the Compensation Committee of our
Board of Directors granted stock options at exercise prices equal to the closing price of our
common stock on the trading day prior to the grant date. The weighted average grant date fair value
of stock options granted during the six month
period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were estimated at approximately $7.67 and $4.49,
respectively using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Risk free interest rate |
1.76 | % | 2.37 | % | ||||
Expected life (years) |
4.93 | 5.00 |
Share based compensation expense is recognized only for those awards that are ultimately
expected to vest, and we have applied a forfeiture rate to unvested awards for the purpose of
calculating the compensation cost. These estimates will be reversed in future periods if actual
forfeitures differ from our estimates.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, our share-based charge in connection with
the expensing of stock options was approximately $3.2 million
and $6.1 million, respectively.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, our share-based charge in connection with the
expensing of stock options was approximately $1.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively.
As of June 30, 2011, there was approximately $14.2 million of unrecognized stock-based
compensation cost related to stock options which we expect to recognize over a weighted average
period of approximately 2.67 years.
Restricted Stock
The fair value of restricted stock awards is the grant date closing market price of our common
stock, and is charged to expense over the period of vesting. These awards are subject to forfeiture
to the extent that the recipients service is terminated prior to the shares becoming vested.
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, the share-based charge in
connection with the expensing of restricted stock awards was approximately $249,000 and $1.2
million, respectively. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, the share-based
charge in connection with the expensing of restricted stock awards was approximately $200,000 and
$800,000, respectively.
As of June 30, 2011, there was approximately $2.3 million of unrecognized share-based
compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock awards, which is expected to be recognized
over a weighted average period of approximately 2.32 years.
401(k) Plan Matching Contribution
During the three and six month period ended June 30, 2011, we issued 14,909 and 36,624 shares
of common stock as our match of approximately $138,000 and $287,000 on the 401(k) contributions of
our employees. During the three and six month period ended June 30, 2010, we issued 36,991 and
74,679 shares of common stock as our match of approximately $100,000 and $200,000 on the 401(k)
contributions of our employees.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Effective July 2009, we adopted the 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Purchase Plan). The
Purchase Plan provides our eligible employees with an incentive by providing a method whereby they
may voluntarily purchase shares of our common stock upon terms described in the Purchase Plan. The
Purchase Plan is designed to be operated on the basis of six consecutive month offering periods
commencing January 1 and July 1 of each year. The Purchase Plan provides that eligible employees
may authorize payroll deductions to purchase shares of our common stock at 85% of the fair market
value of common stock on the first or last day of the applicable purchase period. A participant may
purchase a maximum of 50,000 shares of common stock during a 6-month offering
period, not to exceed $25,000 worth of stock on the offering date during each plan year. The
Purchase Plan terminates in 2019.
17
Table of Contents
A total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the Purchase
Plan, and as of June 30, 2011, 302,232 shares have been issued under the Purchase Plan.
Common Stock Reserved for Future Issuances
As of June 30, 2011, approximately 15.0 million shares of our common stock, when fully vested,
were issuable upon conversion or exercise of rights granted under prior financing arrangements,
stock options and warrants, as follows:
Conversion of Series E preferred shares |
40,000 | |||
Exercise of stock options |

10. Long-Term Retention and Management Incentive Plan
Effective April 22, 2011, our Board of Directors adopted a Long-Term Retention and Management
Incentive Plan (the Incentive Plan) to provide equity and cash incentives for our principal
executive officer, principal financial officer and certain other named executive officers. The Incentive Plan rewards
long-term corporate performance, with a goal of helping to align the total compensation of the
participants with the interests of our stockholders. The Incentive Plan provides that, upon the occurrence of
certain events, defined as a $750 million (the Initial Capitalization Target) and/or a $1 billion
market capitalization target (the Subsequent Capitalization Target), each participant will be
entitled to receive stock awards under our 2009 Incentive Award Plan, as amended, and cash awards
upon a change in control. The Incentive Plan will terminate on April 22, 2016, the fifth anniversary of its
effective date. The number of shares available for issuance under the Incentive Plan will not exceed
1,039,500 shares.
The fair value of each stock award under the Incentive Plan was estimated on the date of the
grant using the Monte Carlo valuation model and assumes that the Initial Capitalization Target will
be achieved at 13 months and the Subsequent Capitalization Target will be achieved at 20 months
(collectively referred to as the Service Life), from the effective date. The key inputs used to estimate the
awards fair value include the following:
Term of Incentive Plan |
5 Years | |||
Estimated trading days from grant to end of market condition
period |
1,260 | |||
Average stock price on date of grant |
$ | 9.29 | ||
Number of common shares outstanding proximate to grant date |
52,041,781 | |||
Maximum number of options expected to exercise during term |
8,397,094 | |||
Expected annual stock volatility |
65.0 | % | ||
Expected return on common equity |
15 | % |
The fair value of these equity awards was determined to be approximately $8.1 million and will
be amortized over the respective Service Life. Included in selling, general and administrative
expense was $3.1 million of compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of our
operations in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to
those financial statements included in Item I of Part 1 of this quarterly report and our audited
consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2010 included
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Business Outlook
We are a biotechnology company with fully integrated commercial and drug development
operations with a primary focus in oncology. Our strategy is comprised of acquiring, developing and
commercializing a broad and diverse pipeline of late-stage clinical and commercial products. We
market two oncology drugs, ZEVALIN® and FUSILEV® and have two drugs,
apaziquone and belinostat, in late stage development along with a diversified pipeline of novel
drug candidates. We have assembled an integrated in-house scientific team, including formulation
development, clinical development, medical research, regulatory affairs, biostatistics and data
management, and have established a commercial infrastructure for the marketing of our drug
products. We also leverage the expertise of our worldwide partners to assist in the execution of
our strategy. Apaziquone is presently being studied in two large Phase 3 clinical trials for
non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, or NMIBC, and is under strategic collaborations with Allergan, Inc.,
(Allergan), Nippon Kayaku Co. Ltd., (Nippon Kayaku), and Handok Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd.,
(Handok). Belinostat, is being studied in multiple indications including a Phase 2 registrational
trial for relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma, or PTCL, under a strategic
collaboration with TopoTarget A/S or TopoTarget.

The following is an update of our business strategy for 2011, as described in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC.
| Maximizing the growth potential of our marketed drugs, Zevalin and Fusilev. Our
near-term outlook largely depends on sales and marketing successes for our two marketed
drugs. For Zevalin, we stabilized sales in 2009, increased sales in 2010 and believe we can
continue to grow sales in 2011 and beyond. For Fusilev, which we launched in August 2008,
we were able to benefit from broad utilization in community clinics and hospitals and
recognized a dramatic increase in sales during 2010 due to a shortage of generic
leucovorin. While we cannot predict how long the shortage may continue, our focus is to
obtain utilization of Fusilev as part of the treatment regimens for advanced metastatic colorectal cancer. The
FDA formally approved our supplemental new drug application for
Fusilevs use in the treatment of advanced metastatic colorectal cancer on April 29, 2011. |
For both Zevalin and Fusilev, we initiated and continue to stage appropriate
infrastructure expansions and additional initiatives to facilitate broad customer reach and to
address other market requirements, as appropriate. We have formed a dedicated commercial
organization comprised of highly experienced and motivated sales representatives, account
managers, and a complement of other support marketing personnel to manage the sales and
marketing of these drugs. In addition our scientific department supports field activities
through various MDs, PhDs and other medical science liaison personnel.
| Optimizing our development portfolio and maximizing the asset values of its components.
While over the recent few years, we have evolved from a development-stage to a
commercial-stage pharmaceutical company, we have maintained a highly focused development
portfolio. Our strategy with regard to our development portfolio is to focus on late-stage
drugs and to develop them rapidly to the point of regulatory approval. We plan to develop
some of these drugs ourselves or with our subsidiaries and affiliates, or secure
collaborations with third parties such that we are able to suitably monetize these assets. |
We have assembled a drug development infrastructure that is comprised of highly
experienced and motivated MDs, PhDs, clinical research associates and a complement of other
support personnel to rapidly develop these drugs. During 2009, this team achieved our goal of
completing enrollment in the two Phase 3 apaziquone trials (with more than 1,600 patients
enrolled) and expect to finish evaluation of the last patient in 2011. We expect to file a
NDA in 2012. We expect to continue to maximize the value of apaziquone through further
developmental efforts and initiation of additional trials.
With regard to our anti-cancer drug belinostat, a novel HDAC inhibitor, we have to date
opened more than 100 sites to enroll patients in the registrational pivotal
trial. We expect to complete enrollment in mid-to-late second half of 2011, and file a NDA in
2012. Belinostat has received Fast Track designation from FDA, which means, if the FDA
agrees, we can start filing a rolling new-drug application even before the clinical package is
ready, beginning with the filing of pre-clinical data and CMC.
We have several other exciting compounds in earlier stages of development in our
portfolio. Based upon a criteria-based portfolio review, we are in the process of streamlining
our pipeline drugs, allowing for greater focus and integration of our development and
commercial goals.
| Expanding our pipeline of late stage and commercial drugs through licensing and
business development. It is our goal to identify new strategic opportunities that will
create strong synergies with our currently marketed drugs and identify and pursue
partnerships for out-licensing certain of our drugs in development. To this end, we will
continue to explore strategic collaborations as these relate to drugs that are either in
advanced clinical trials or are currently on the market. We believe that such opportunistic
collaborations will provide synergies with respect to how we deploy our internal resources.
In this regard, we intend to identify and secure drugs that have significant growth
potential either through enhanced marketing and sales efforts or through pursuit of
additional clinical development. In January 2011, we signed a letter of agreement with
Viropro, Inc., for the development of a biosimilar version of the monoclonal antibody drug
rituximab. Biosimilars, or follow-on biologis, are terms used to describe
officially-approved subsequent versions of innovator biopharmaceutical products made by a
different sponsor following patent and exclusivity expiry. Under the
agreement, we paid a nominal upfront payment and are required to make additional payments based on certain development and
regulatory milestones should we elect to continue development efforts. We believe our
in-licensing of belinostat, a novel histone deacetylase, or HDAC,
inhibitor, is also demonstrative of
such licensing and business development efforts outlined above.

| Managing our financial resources effectively. We remain committed to fiscal
discipline, a policy which has allowed us to become well capitalized among our peers,
despite a very challenging capital markets environment during 2009, 2010 and continuing in
2011. This policy includes the pursuit of non-dilutive funding options, prudent expense
management, and the achievement of critical synergies within our operations in order to
maintain a reasonable burn rate. Even with the continued build-up in operational
infrastructure to facilitate the marketing of our two commercial drugs, we intend to be
fiscally prudent in any expansion we undertake. In terms of revenue generation, we plan to
become more reliant on sales from currently marketed drugs and intend to pursue
out-licensing of select pipeline drugs in select territories, as discussed above. When
appropriate, we may pursue other sources of financing, including non-dilutive financing
alternatives. While we are currently focused on advancing our key drug development
programs, we anticipate that we will make regular determinations as to which other
programs, if any, to pursue and how much funding to direct to each program on an ongoing
basis, based on clinical success and commercial potential, including termination of our
existing development programs, especially if we do not expect value being driven from
continued development. |
| Further enhancing the organizational structure to meet our corporate objectives. We
have highly experienced staff in pharmaceutical operations, clinical development,
regulatory and commercial functions who previously held positions at both small to mid-size
biotech companies, as well as large pharmaceutical companies. We have strengthened the
ranks of our management team, and will continue to pursue talent on an opportunistic basis.
Finally, we remain committed to running a lean and efficient organization, while
effectively leveraging our critical resources. |
Financial Condition
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cumulative losses, since inception in 1987 through June 30, 2011, are approximately $290.5
million. We may incur additional losses for at least the next few years, as we implement our
growth strategy of commercializing marketed drugs, while continuing to develop our portfolio of
late-stage drug products. Our long-term strategy is to generate profits from the sale and licensing
of our drug products. Accordingly, in the next several years, we expect to supplement our cash
position with sales of Zevalin and Fusilev and generate licensing revenue from out-licensing our
other drug products.
We believe that the approximately $118.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and
investments, which includes long term marketable securities, we had available on June 30, 2011 will
allow us to fund our current planned operations for at least the next
twelve to eighteen months. However, we may seek to obtain additional capital through the sale of debt or equity securities, if
necessary, especially in conjunction with opportunistic acquisitions or license of drugs. We may be
unable to obtain such additional capital when needed, or on terms favorable to us or our
stockholders, if at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the percentage
ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution or
such equity securities may provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the
holders of our common stock. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt
securities, the terms of such securities may place restrictions on our ability to operate our
business. If and when appropriate, just as we have done in the past, we may pursue non-dilutive
financing alternatives as well.

Table of Contents
Zevalin sales growth is largely dependent on the adoption of Zevalin for use as part of
first-line therapy for follicular non-Hodgkins lymphoma, or NHL and continued use in its initial indication. As discussed
earlier, during 2010 and through June 30, 2011, our sales of Fusilev grew considerably over prior
years because of a shortage of generic leucovorin. We are unable to predict how long this current
shortage may last. On April 29, 2011 we received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for the use of FUSILEV® (levoleucovorin) in combination with 5-fluorouracil in
the palliative treatment of patients with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer. This new, expanded
indication supplements the original 2008 FDA approval of FUSILEV. This approval enables us to
actively market Fusilev for use in the treatment of advanced metastatic colorectal cancer.
With regard to estimated future development expenditures, our drug development efforts are
subject to the considerable uncertainty inherent in any new drug development. Due to the
uncertainties involved in progressing through clinical trials, and the time and cost involved in
obtaining regulatory approval and in establishing collaborative arrangements, among other factors,
we cannot reasonably estimate the timing, completion dates, and ultimate aggregate cost of
developing each of our drug product candidates. Accordingly, the following discussion of our
current assessment of expenditures may prove inadequate and our assessment of the need for cash to
fund our operations may prove too optimistic.
Our expenditures for research and development consist of direct product specific costs,
including, but not limited to, upfront license fees, milestone payments, active pharmaceutical
ingredients, clinical trials, patent related costs, and non-product specific, or indirect, costs.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, our total research and development expenditure,
including indirect expenditures, was approximately $13.5 million (net of $3.4 million received from
Allergan).
Our primary focus areas for the foreseeable future, and the programs
that we expect to
represent a significant part of our research and development are the on-going registrational clinical trials of
apaziquone and belinostat and additional clinical studies in supporting the expanded utilization of
our FDA approved products (ZEVALIN and FUSILEV). While we are currently focused on advancing these key
product development programs, we continually evaluate our research
and development programs with respect to other pipeline products
in response to the scientific and clinical successes of each product candidate, as well as an ongoing
assessment as to the product candidates commercial potential. Our anticipated net use of cash for
research and development in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, excluding the cost of in-licensing or acquisitions
of additional drugs, if any, is expected to range between approximately $30 and $40 million.
Further, while we do not receive any funding from third parties for research and development
that we conduct, co-development and out-licensing agreements with other companies for any of our
drug products may reduce our expenses. In this regard, we entered into a collaboration agreement
with Allergan whereby, commencing January 1, 2009, Allergan has borne 65% of the development costs
of Apaziquone. Additionally, we entered into a collaboration agreement with TopoTarget, whereby,
commencing February 2, 2010, TopoTarget bears, for belinostat, 100% of the CUP trial costs and 30%
of other development costs unrelated to the PTCL study.
In addition to our present portfolio of drug product candidates, we continually evaluate
proprietary products for acquisition. If we are successful in acquiring rights to additional
products, we may pay up-front licensing fees in cash and/or common stock and our research and
development expenditures would likely increase.
Net Cash provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
The principal components of such cash provided by operations was net income in the period of $19.9
million plus net non-cash credits of $14.0 million, offset primarily by a $25.7 million increase in
accounts receivable as a result of increased product sales.
23
Table of Contents
Net Cash used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities, $1.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011,
was primarily due to the net $815,000 purchases of marketable securities partially offset by a
$341,000 increase in property and equipment acquisitions.
Net Cash provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities, $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
2011, primarily relates to proceeds from the issuance of common stock as a result of the exercise
of stock options and purchases of shares under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
Revenues. Revenues increased $33.0 million, or 268%, to $45.4 million in the three months
ended June 30, 2011 from $12.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. We recognized $42.3
million from product sales, of which $33.9 million related to
sales of FUSILEV and $8.4 million related to sales of ZEVALIN (each net of
estimates for promotional, price and other adjustments, including adjustment of the allowance for
product returns). Product revenues recorded in the
three months ended June 30, 2010 were $9.3 million, of which $2.4 million related to sales of
FUSILEV and $6.9 million related to sales of ZEVALIN. Revenues from the sales of FUSILEV have
increased due to a supply disruption of generic leucovorin and FDA approval of FUSILEV for use in the
treatment of advanced metastatic colorectal cancer received on April 29, 2011. Sales of FUSILEV grew significantly in
the third and fourth quarter of 2010 and have continued through June 2011. We are unable to
determine how long the current disruption in supplies of generic leucovorin will last. During the
three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we also recognized $3.1 million of licensing revenues
from the amortization of a $41.5 million upfront payment we
received from Allergan in 2008, and a $16.0
million upfront payment we received from Nippon Kayaku and Handok in the first quarter of 2010.
Cost of Product Sales. Cost of product sales increased $4.5 million to $8.1 million in the
three months ended June 30, 2011 from $3.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The
increase in total cost of product sales relates to an increase in product revenues and start up costs
incurred for new suppliers.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$4.9 million, or 36%, to $18.7 million, in the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $13.8 million
in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase is due primarily to an increase of $4.8
million in stock compensation expense, of which $3.1 million relates to the long-term retention and
management incentive plan adopted during the June 2011 quarter. We expect that expenses associated with
sales and marketing activities will increase as we invest in additional commercial resources to
increase market expansion of FUSILEV for its recently approved indication in colorectal cancer.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased $1.4 million, or 22%, to
$7.7 million, in the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $6.3 million in the three months ended
June 30, 2010. The increase is primarily due to on-going clinical trials. We expect research and
development expenses to range between approximately $30 and
$40 million for the year ending December 31, 2011, excluding the
cost of in-licensing or acquisitions of additional drugs, if any.
Amortization of Purchased Intangibles. We incurred a non-cash charge of $930,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 due to the amortization of intangibles from the acquisition of
ZEVALIN.

Change in Fair Value of Common Stock Warrant Liability. We recorded a loss of $1.2 million
for the change in the fair value of the warrant obligations during the three month period ended
June 30, 2011 compared to income of $2.8 million in the same period of 2010. The change in fair
value of the common stock warrant liability was primarily the result of the change in our stock
price over the same period of time. Approximately 3.7 million of the outstanding warrants are
scheduled to expire by September 14, 2011, of which 206,476 warrants were exercised in July 2011
Other Net Income. The principal components of other income of $174,000 and ($236,000) during
the three month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, consisted of currency gains and
losses and net interest income. In the current economic environment, our principal investment
objective is preservation of capital. Accordingly, for the foreseeable future we expect to earn
minimal interest yields on our investments, until such time as the credit markets recover.
Provision for Income Taxes. We recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.7 million during
the three months ended June 30, 2011 due to our profitability. No similar expense was recorded in
2010 as we were in a loss position.
Six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
Revenues. Revenues increased $65.5 million, or 280%, to $89.0 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2011 from $23.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. We recognized $82.8 million
from product sales, of which $68.6 million related to sales of
FUSILEV and $14.3 million related to sales of ZEVALIN (each net of estimates for
promotional, price and other adjustments, including adjustment of the allowance for product
returns). Product revenues recorded in the six months
ended June 30, 2010 were $16.4 million, of which $3.0 million related to sales of FUSILEV and $13.4
million related to sales of ZEVALIN. Revenues from the sales of FUSILEV have increased due to a
supply disruption of generic leucovorin. Sales of FUSILEV grew significantly in the third and fourth
quarter of 2010 which have continued through June 2011. We are unable to determine how long the
current disruption in supplies of generic leucovorin will last. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we also
recognized $6.2 million and $7.0 million, respectively, of licensing revenues from the amortization of
a $41.5 million upfront payment
we received from Allergan in 2008, and a $16.0 million upfront payment we received from Nippon Kayaku
and Handok in the first quarter of 2010.
Cost of Product Sales. Cost of product sales increased $7.9 million to $14.7 million in the
six months ended June 30, 2011 from $6.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in total
cost of product sales relates to an increase in product revenues and start up costs incurred for new
suppliers.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$6.8 million, or 28%, to $31.5 million, in the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $24.7 million in
the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase is due primarily to an increase of $7.6 million in
stock compensation expense, of which $3.1 million relates to the long-term retention and management
incentive plan partially offset by a decrease in trade show and meeting expenses of approximately
$800,000.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased $29.3 million, or 68%,
to $13.5 million, in the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $42.8 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2010. The decrease is primarily due to the $30.0 million upfront payment for the licensing
of belinostat incurred in the first quarter of 2010.
Amortization of Purchased Intangibles. We incurred a non-cash charge of $1.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 due to the amortization of intangibles from the acquisition
of ZEVALIN.

Change in Fair Value of Common Stock Warrant Liability. We recorded a loss of $6.5 million
for the change in the fair value of the warrant obligations during the six month period ended June
30, 2011 compared to income of $4.4 million in the same period of 2010. The change in fair value of
the common stock warrant liability was primarily the result of the change in our stock price over
the same period of time.
Other Net Income. The principal components of other net income of $694,000 and ($333,000) during
the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, consisted of currency gains and
losses and net interest income. In the current economic environment, our principal investment
objective is preservation of capital. Accordingly, for the foreseeable future we expect to earn
minimal interest yields on our investments, until such time as the credit markets recover.
Provision for Income Taxes. We recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.7 million during
the six months ended June 30, 2011 due our profitability. No
similar expense was recorded in 2010 as we were in a loss position.
Nature of Each Accrual That Reduces Gross Revenue to Net Revenue
Provisions for product returns, sales discounts and rebates and estimates for chargebacks are
established as a reduction of product sales revenue at the time revenues are recognized. We
consider various factors in determining such provisions, which are described in detail below. Such
estimated amounts are deducted from our gross sales to determine our net revenues. Provisions for
bad and doubtful accounts are deducted from gross receivables to
determine net receivables. Provisions for chargebacks, returns, rebates and discounts are
classified as part of our accrued obligations. Changes in our estimates, if any, are recorded in
the statement of operations in the period the change is determined. If we materially over or under
estimate the amount, there could be a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial
statements.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the following is a roll forward of the
provisions for return, discounts and rebates and chargebacks allowances and estimated doubtful
account allowances.

Table of Contents
Chargebacks, discounts and rebates
Chargebacks represent a provision against gross accounts receivable and related reduction to
gross revenue. A chargeback is the difference between the price the wholesale customer, in our case
the wholesaler or distributor, pays (the wholesale acquisition cost, or WAC) and the price
(contracted price) that a contracted customer (e.g., a Group Purchasing Organization, or GPO,
member) pays for a product. We accrue for chargebacks in the relevant period on the presumption
that all units of product sold to members of the GPOs will be charged back. We estimate chargebacks
at the time of sale of our products to the members of the GPOs based on:
(1) volume of all products sold via distributors to members of the GPOs and the applicable
chargeback rates for the relevant period;
(2) applicable WAC and the contract prices agreed with the GPOs; and
(3) the information of inventories remaining on hand at the wholesalers and distributors at
the end of the period, actual chargeback reports received from our wholesalers and distributors
as well as the chargebacks not yet billed (product shipped less the chargebacks already billed
back) in the calculation and validation of our chargeback estimates and reserves.
Discounts (generally prompt payment discounts) are accrued at the end of every reporting
period based on the gross sales made to the customers during the period and based on their terms of
trade for a product. We generally review the terms of the contracts,
specifically price,
discount structures and payment terms to estimate the discount accrual.
Customer rebates are estimated at every period end, based on direct purchases, depending on
whether any rebates have been offered. The rebates are recognized when products are purchased and a
periodic credit is given. Medicaid rebates are based on the data we receive from the public sector
benefit providers, which is based on the final dispensing of our product by a pharmacy to a benefit
plan participant.
We record Medicaid and Medicare rebates based on estimates for such expense. However, such
amount has not been material to the financial statements.
Product returns allowances
Customers are typically permitted to return products within thirty days after shipment, if
incorrectly shipped or not ordered, and within a window of time six months before and twelve months
after the expiration of product dating, subject to certain restocking fees and preauthorization
requirements, as applicable. The returned product is destroyed if it is damaged, quality is
compromised or past its expiration date. Based on our returns policy, we refund the sales price to
the customer as a credit and record the credit against receivables. In general, returned product is
not resold. As of each balance sheet date, we estimate potential returns, based on several factors,
including: inventory held by distributors, sell through data of distributor sales to end users,
customer and end-user ordering and re-ordering patterns, aging of accounts receivables, rates of
returns for directly substitutable products and pharmaceutical products for the treatment of
therapeutic areas similar to indications served by our products, shelf life of our products and
based on experience of our management with selling similar oncology products. We record an
allowance for future returns by debiting revenue, thereby reducing gross revenues and crediting a
reserve for returns to other accrued liabilities.
Distribution and Data Fees
Distribution and data fees are paid to authorized wholesalers and specialty distributors of
Fusilev as a percentage of WAC for products sold. The services provided include contract
administration, inventory management, product sales reporting by customer, returns for clinics and
hospitals. We accrue distribution and data fees based on a percentage of Fusilev revenues that are
set and governed by distribution agreements.
27
Table of Contents
Doubtful Accounts
An allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on the customer payment history and a review
by management of the aging of the accounts receivables as of the balance sheet date. We accrue for
doubtful accounts by recording an expense and creating an allowance for such accounts. If we are
privy to information on the solvency of a customer or observe a payment history change, we estimate
the accrual for such doubtful receivables or write the receivable off.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Since inception, we have not engaged in material off-balance sheet activities, including the
use of structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. These
accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe
that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon
information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made.
These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are material differences between
these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be
affected. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates, judgments and
assumptions and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating
our reported financial results include the following:
| Revenue recognition |
| Share-Based compensation |
| Warrant Accounting |
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, there were no significant changes in our critical
accounting policies and estimates. Please refer to Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for a more complete discussion of our critical
accounting policies and estimates.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal, while at the same
time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. We do not utilize hedging contracts
or similar instruments.
We are exposed to certain market risks. Our primary exposures relate to (1) interest rate risk
on our investment portfolio, (2) credit risk of the companies bonds in which we invest, (3)
general credit market risks as have existed since late 2007 and (4) the financial viability of the
institutions which hold our capital and through which we have invested our funds. We manage such
risks on our investment portfolio by investing in highly liquid, highly rated instruments and not
investing in long-term maturity instruments.
In response to the dislocation in the credit markets since the latter part of 2007, in early
2008 we converted substantially all of our investments, including all of our market auction debt
securities, into highly liquid and safe instruments. Our investments, as of June 30, 2011 and 2010,
were primarily in money market accounts, short-term corporate bonds,
certificates of deposit, U.S.
Treasury bills and U.S. Treasury-backed securities. We believe the financial institutions through
which we have invested our funds are strong and well capitalized and our instruments are held in
accounts segregated from the assets of the institutions. However, due to the current extremely
volatile financial and credit markets and liquidity crunch faced by many banking institutions, the
financial viability of these institutions, and the safety and liquidity of our funds are being
constantly monitored. Because of our ability to generally redeem these investments at par on short
notice and without penalty, we believe that changes in interest rates would have an immaterial
effect on the fair value of these investments. If a 10% change in interest rates were to have
occurred on June 30, 2011 or 2010, any decline in the fair value of our investments would not be
material in the context of our consolidated financial statements. In addition, we are exposed to
certain market risks associated with credit ratings of corporations whose corporate bonds we may
purchase from time to time. If these companies were to experience a significant detrimental
change in their credit ratings, the fair market value of such corporate bonds may significantly
decrease. If these companies were to default on these corporate bonds, we may lose part or all of
our principal. We believe that we effectively manage this market risk by diversifying our investments
and investing in highly rated securities.

In addition, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations relating to
payments we make to vendors, suppliers and license partners using foreign currencies. In
particular, some of our obligations are incurred in Euros. We mitigate such risk by maintaining a
limited portion of our cash in Euros and other currencies.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
We have established disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our
principal executive officer) and Acting Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer),
as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and
evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management is required to apply its judgment
in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching our
desired disclosure control objectives.
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and
our Acting Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2011, the end of the period covered by this
quarterly report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered
by this report, were effective.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter
ended June 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes in our assessment of risk factors affecting our business
since those presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Item 1A, for the fiscal year December 31,
2010 as filed with the SEC other than the following:

Risks Related to Our Business
Our drug product Fusilev may not be more cost-effective than competing drugs and otherwise may not
have any competitive advantage, which could hinder our sales.
Fusilev is a novel folate analog formulation and the pharmacologically active isomer (the
levo-isomer) of the racemic compound calcium leucovorin, a product approved for the same indications our product is
approved for. Leucovorin has been sold as a generic product on the market for a number of years. There are
generic companies that currently sell the product and therefore Fusilev competes against a low-cost
alternative.
Fusilev is part of a treatment regimen that may change or may become the subject of shortages.
Fusilev is offered as part of a treatment regimen, and that regimen may suffer supply
shortages or otherwise change to exclude Fusilev, which would negatively impact Fusilev revenue.
Our revenue from Fusilev sales may not be sustainable and our customer concentration is significant
Most of the Fusilev revenue the Company recorded in the past resulted from the leucovorin drug
shortage, the depth of which we cannot predict. Even with approval for colorectal cancer achieved in 2011, there
is no surety that Fusilev will be adopted by the medical community nor is there assurance that sales will be
sustainable. Our customer concentration of Fusilev is high. Sales to Customer A for the years ended
December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were 45.7%, 27.1%, and 35.7% respectively, of our total
consolidated gross product sales. If our relationship with our top distributors is impaired our
sales of Fusilev would be negatively impacted.
If we are unable to sustain and expand the approved usage of Fusilev, the products operating
results may be harmed, which could adversely affect our financial and operating results.
Fusilev was approved by the FDA on April 29, 2011 for use in combination with 5-FU-containing regimens in the treatment of advanced metastatic colorectal cancer. While we believe the greatest
potential use of this product is in this indication, we may not recognize the full anticipated
value of our investment in the product and our financial and operating results could be adversely
affected.
We may face difficulties in achieving broader market acceptance of Fusilev if we do not invest
significantly in our sales and marketing infrastructure.
Implementation of the sales and marketing strategy for Fusilev, and the efforts to expand
approved usage of Fusilev, will require a continued significant investment of financial and other
resources by us for the foreseeable future and may not ultimately increase Fusilev sales or allow
us to realize the anticipated benefits from our investment in the product. Additionally, our
efforts to establish an effective commercial team for Fusilev will require significant commitments
of both financial and management resources by us, and may not ultimately be successful due a
variety of factors.
