ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

Overview

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative small molecule drugs for the treatment of
cancer. We strive to develop proprietary products that have the potential to improve the standard of care in cancer therapy. Our focus is on product opportunities for oncology that leverage our
internal clinical development and regulatory expertise and address important markets with unmet medical need. We may also seek to grow our existing portfolio of product candidates through product
acquisition and in-licensing efforts.

Our
lead product candidate, pralatrexate, is a novel targeted antifolate designed to accumulate preferentially in cancer cells. Based on preclinical studies, we believe that pralatrexate
selectively enters cells expressing RFC-1, a protein that is over expressed on cancer cells compared to normal cells. Once inside cancer cells, pralatrexate is efficiently
polyglutamylated, which leads to high intracellular drug retention. Polyglutamylated pralatrexate essentially becomes "trapped" inside cancer cells, making it less susceptible to efflux-based drug
resistance. Acting on the folate pathway, pralatrexate interferes with DNA synthesis and triggers cancer cell death. We believe pralatrexate has the potential to be delivered as a single agent or in
combination therapy regimens.

In
February 2009, we announced the final results from PROPEL, our pivotal Phase 2 trial of pralatrexate in patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell
lymphoma, or PTCL. Based on the results of this trial, we intend to submit a New Drug Application, or NDA, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for pralatrexate for the treatment of
patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL in the first half of 2009. This trial was conducted under an agreement reached with the FDA under its special protocol assessment, or SPA process, which
provides an agreement that the study design, including trial size, clinical endpoints and/or data analyses are acceptable to the FDA. The SPA agreement is not a guarantee of approval, and we cannot
assure you that the design of, or data collected from, the PROPEL trial will be adequate to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with relapsed or
refractory PTCL, or otherwise be sufficient to support FDA or any foreign regulatory approval. In addition to the PROPEL trial, we are committed to evaluating pralatrexate for oncology use as a single
agent and in combination with other therapies. We currently have seven ongoing clinical trials involving pralatrexate, including the PROPEL trial, and plan to initiate additional trials to evaluate
pralatrexate's potential clinical utility in other hematologic malignancies and solid tumor indications.

Our Strategy

Our goal is to build a profitable company by generating income from products we develop and commercialize, either alone or with one or
more potential strategic partners. The key elements of our strategy are to:

Our Product Candidates

The following table summarizes the target indications and clinical development status of our lead product candidate, pralatrexate:

GRAPHIC

Pralatrexate (PDX)

Pralatrexate is a novel targeted antifolate designed to accumulate preferentially in cancer cells. Based on preclinical studies, we
believe that pralatrexate selectively enters cells expressing RFC-1, a protein that is over expressed on cancer cells compared to normal cells. Once inside cancer cells, pralatrexate is
efficiently polyglutamylated, which leads to high intracellular drug retention. Polyglutamylated pralatrexate essentially becomes "trapped" inside cancer cells, making it less susceptible to
efflux-based drug resistance. Acting on the folate pathway, pralatrexate interferes with DNA synthesis and triggers cancer cell death. We believe pralatrexate has the potential to be delivered as a
single agent or in combination therapy regimens.

Scientific Rationale

The antimetabolites are a group of low-molecular weight compounds that exert their effect by virtue of their structural or
functional similarity to naturally occurring molecules involved in DNA synthesis. Because the cell mistakes them for a normal metabolite, the antimetabolites either inhibit critical enzymes involved
in DNA synthesis or become incorporated into the nucleic acid, producing incorrect codes. Both mechanisms result in inhibition of DNA synthesis and ultimately, cell death. Because of their primary
effect on DNA synthesis, the antimetabolites are most effective against

actively
dividing cells and are largely cell-cycle phase specific. There are three classes of antimetabolites; purine analogs, pyrimidine analogs and folic acid analogs, also termed
antifolates. Pralatrexate is a folic acid analog.

The
selectivity of antifolates for tumor cells involves their conversion to a polyglutamated form by the enzyme folypolyglutamyl synthetase. Polyglutamation is a time- and
concentration-dependent process that occurs in tumor cells, and to a lesser extent, normal tissue. The selective activity of the folic acid analogs in malignant cells versus normal cells likely is due
to the relative
difference in polyglutamate formation. Polyglutamated metabolites have prolonged intracellular half-life, increased duration of drug action and are potent inhibitors of several folate-
dependent enzymes, including dihydrofolate reductase, or DHFR.

We
believe that the resistance of malignant cells to the effects of the folic acid analogs may, in part, be due to impaired polyglutamation. We believe the improved antitumor effects of
pralatrexate in comparison to methotrexate, as observed in preclinical studies, is likely due to the more effective uptake and transport of pralatrexate into the cell followed by the greater
accumulation of pralatrexate and its metabolites within the tumor cell through the formation of the polyglutamated derivatives.

Pralatrexate in the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma

Peripheral T-cell lymphomas, or PTCL, comprise a biologically diverse group of blood cancers that account for approximately
10 to 15 percent of all cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, or NHL, in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 66,000 new cases of NHL were expected
to be diagnosed in the United States in 2008. We estimate the current annual prevalence of PTCL in the United States to be approximately 9,500 patients. There are currently no pharmaceutical agents
approved for use in the treatment of either first-line or relapsed or refractory PTCL. In addition to those PTCL patients who do not respond to first-line treatment, a
significant number of first-line multi-agent chemotherapy responders relapse or become refractory after treatment. According to the clinical literature, patients with aggressive PTCL have
an overall five-year survival rate of approximately 25% after first-line therapy.

In
February 2009, we announced the final results from PROPEL, our pivotal Phase 2, international, multi-center, open-label, single-arm trial of
pralatrexate in patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL. Based on the results of this trial, we intend to submit an NDA to the FDA for pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with relapsed or
refractory PTCL in the first half of 2009.

The
PROPEL trial enrolled a total of 115 patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL, 109 of whom were considered evaluable for response according to the trial protocol. We believe the
PROPEL trial is the largest prospectively designed single-agent trial conducted to date in patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL. To be eligible for the trial, a patient's disease must have
progressed after at least one prior treatment. Patients were considered evaluable if they received at least one dose of pralatrexate and their diagnosis of PTCL was confirmed by independent pathology
review. Patients received 30 mg/m2 of pralatrexate intravenously once every week for six weeks followed by one week of rest per cycle of treatment. Patients also received vitamin
B12 and folic acid supplementation. The primary endpoint of the trial is objective response rate, as assessed by central independent oncology review using International Workshop Criteria.
Duration of response is the key secondary endpoint. Other secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, overall survival and safety and tolerability.

The
results of the trial demonstrated that 29 of 109 evaluable patients, or 27%, achieved a response as assessed by central independent oncology review. Of the 29 patients who achieved a
response according to central independent oncology review, seven patients had a complete response, or CR, two patients had a complete response unconfirmed, or CRu, and 20 patients had a partial
response, or PR. The Kaplan-Meier estimate for the median duration of response was 287 days, or 9.4 months. The most common grade 3/4 adverse events were thrombocytopenia, which was
observed in

32%
of patients; mucosal inflammation in 21% of patients; neutropenia in 20% of patients; and anemia in 17% of patients.

According
to the PROPEL investigators, 42 of 109 evaluable patients, or 39%, achieved a response. Of these, 15 patients had a CR, four patients had a CRu and 23 patients had a PR. PROPEL
patients received a median of three prior systemic treatment regimens (range of 1-12), including 18 patients, or 16%, who had previously undergone an autologous stem cell transplant. In
the trial, 66% of the patients who responded did so after cycle one of therapy. Patients will continue to be followed for long-term survival.

In
accordance with the PROPEL trial protocol, three pre-planned interim analyses of safety data were previously conducted. In January, September and December 2007, we
announced that an independent data monitoring committee, or DMC, completed interim analyses of safety data from the first 10, 35 and 65 evaluable patients who completed at least one cycle of treatment
with pralatrexate, respectively, and recommended that the trial continue per the protocol at each analysis. No major safety concerns were identified by the DMC that affected the continuation of the
trial.

The
PROPEL trial was conducted under an agreement reached with the FDA under its SPA process. The SPA process allows for FDA evaluation of a clinical trial protocol intended to form the
primary basis of an efficacy claim in support of an NDA, and provides an agreement that the study design, including trial size, clinical endpoints and/or data analyses are acceptable to the FDA.
However, the SPA agreement is not a guarantee of approval, and we cannot assure you that the design of, or data collected from, the PROPEL trial will be adequate to demonstrate the safety and efficacy
of pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL, or otherwise be sufficient to support FDA or any foreign regulatory approval. For example, the response rate, duration
of response and safety profile required to support FDA approval are not specified in the PROPEL trial protocol and will be subject to FDA review. In addition, the median duration of response reported
above is a Kaplan-Meier estimate based on the length of follow up for all responders at the time the PROPEL trial database was locked. As a result, the median duration of response may change based on
continued patient follow up.

Pralatrexate
has orphan drug designation and fast track designation in the United States for the treatment of patients with T-cell lymphoma and orphan medicinal product
designation in Europe for the treatment of PTCL. Under the U.S. Orphan Drug Act, if we are the first company to
receive FDA approval for pralatrexate for this orphan drug indication, we will obtain seven years of marketing exclusivity during which the FDA may not approve another company's application for the
same drug for the same orphan indication. The FDA's fast track program is designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of new drugs that are intended to treat serious or
life-threatening conditions and that demonstrate the potential to address unmet medical needs. In Europe, orphan medicinal product designation, or OMPD, is intended to promote the
development of drugs that may provide significant benefit to patients suffering from rare diseases identified as life-threatening or very serious. Under the guidelines of the European
Medicines Agency, OMPD provides ten years of potential market exclusivity once the product candidate is approved for marketing for the designated indication in the European Union.

Pralatrexate in the treatment of non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease

Approximately 66,000 patients were expected to be diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, or NHL, in the United States in
2008 and approximately 85% of NHL patients represent patients with B-cell lymphoma. The incidence of NHL has increased significantly since the 1970's and is currently growing at
approximately 1% to 2% per year. Patients with indolent or low-grade NHL may have survival rates as long as 10 years, yet the disease is frequently incurable. Aggressive lymphomas
generally result in shorter median survival times although patients with these malignancies can be cured

in
30% to 60% of cases. Standard chemotherapy for NHL involves an initial combination of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone, also known as CHOP. The addition of rituximab in one
study increased response rates to nearly 100%. However, a significant number of patients treated with CHOP or rituximab eventually relapse and may be candidates for salvage chemotherapy, or
chemotherapy given after recurrence of a tumor.

We
are currently evaluating pralatrexate in an ongoing Phase 1/2, open-label, single-center study in patients with relapsed or refractory NHL and Hodgkin's disease.
Interim data from this trial, which was most recently presented at the AACR-NCI-EORTC conference in October 2007, showed that responses were observed in 2 of 20, or 10% of,
evaluable patients with B-cell lymphoma. This study is currently focused on exploring alternate dosing and administration schedules in patients with B-cell lymphoma to further
evaluate pralatrexate's potential clinical utility in this setting.

In
May 2007, we initiated patient enrollment in a Phase 1/2a, open-label, multi-center study of pralatrexate and gemcitabine with vitamin B12 and folic
acid supplementation in patients with relapsed or refractory NHL or Hodgkin's disease. In the Phase 1 portion of this study, patients with either relapsed or refractory NHL (diffuse large
B- or T-cell lymphoma,
mantle cell lymphoma, transformed large cell lymphomas) or Hodgkin's disease receive pralatrexate either concurrently on the same day with or followed the next day by gemcitabine as part of a weekly
schedule for three or four weeks with concurrent vitamin B12 and folic acid supplementation. We plan to enroll up to 54 evaluable patients in the Phase 1 portion of the study with
the objective of determining the maximum tolerated dose, or MTD, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of escalating doses of sequential pralatrexate and gemcitabine. If the Phase 1
portion of the study is successful, we plan to enroll up to 45 additional patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL in the Phase 2a portion of the trial at the established MTD to assess
preliminary efficacy of pralatrexate and gemcitabine.

In
December 2008, interim data from this study were presented at the 50th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology. Data were presented on 27 patients,
22 of whom were evaluable for response. Patients were enrolled in eight cohorts with different doses and schedules. Partial responses were observed in 6 of 22 evaluable patients, including five
patients on a sequential dosing schedule and one patient on a same-day dosing schedule. Patients received a median of three prior systemic regimens. The most common adverse event was
thrombocytopenia, with Grade 3 observed in four patients and Grade 4 observed in seven patients. The MTD for the sequential dosing schedule was established as 10 mg/m2 of pralatrexate
followed by 400 mg/m2 of gemcitabine, once every two weeks. Enrollment in the trial is ongoing to determine the MTD for the same-day dosing schedule.

In
October 2008, the FDA granted orphan drug designation to pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with follicular lymphoma and for the treatment of patients with diffuse large
B-cell lymphoma.

Pralatrexate in the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma

Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, or CTCL, are comprised of a number of non-Hodgkin's T-cell lymphomas,
including mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome, which have their primary manifestations in the skin. According to the Lymphoma Research Foundation, CTCL accounts for approximately 2% to 3% of the
estimated 66,000 new cases of NHL diagnosed each year in the United States.

In
August 2007, we initiated patient enrollment in a Phase 1, open-label, multi-center study of pralatrexate with vitamin B12 and folic acid
supplementation in patients with relapsed or refractory CTCL. In this study, patients with either relapsed or refractory CTCL receive pralatrexate as part of a weekly schedule for two or three weeks
followed by one week of rest. Patients receive starting doses of pralatrexate at 30 mg/m2, with dose reduction in subsequent cohorts based on toxicity.

In
December 2008, interim data from this study were presented at the 50th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology. Data were presented on 24 patients,
including 22 evaluable patients

Table of Contents

who
completed at least one cycle of treatment at doses ranging from 10-30 mg/m2 as part of a weekly schedule for two or three weeks followed by one week of rest. Responses
were observed in 12 of 22 evaluable patients, or 55%, including one complete response and 11 partial responses. Patients received a median of four prior systemic therapies. The most common adverse
event was mucosal inflammation, with Grade 1/2 mucosal inflammation observed in 11 of 24 patients and Grade 3 mucosal inflammation observed in 4 of 24 patients. There was no Grade 4 mucosal
inflammation and no thrombocytopenia above Grade 1.

We
plan to enroll up to 56 evaluable patients in the study with the objective of determining the optimal dose and safety profile of pralatrexate in this population. We plan to enroll at
least 20 of these patients at what we believe to be the optimal dose and schedule.

Pralatrexate in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated
215,020 new cases of lung cancer were expected to be diagnosed in the United States in 2008. Non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC, is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for
approximately 87% of lung cancer cases, according to the American Cancer Society. More people die of lung cancer than of breast, prostate and colorectal cancers combined. Over the last decade,
oncologists have begun treating advanced NSCLC patients more aggressively, typically administering a potent combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin. Other drugs used in this setting include
gemcitabine, vinorelbine, docetaxel and cisplatin. Despite aggressive therapy using gemcitabine and vinorelbine, one study found that the one-year survival rate for patients with
Stage IIIB or IV NSCLC was approximately 40%.

In
January 2008, we initiated patient enrollment in a Phase 2b, randomized, multi-center study comparing pralatrexate and Tarceva (erlotinib), both with vitamin B12
and folic acid supplementation, in patients with Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC who are, or have been, cigarette smokers who have failed treatment with at least one prior platinum-based chemotherapy
regimen. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of pralatrexate to that of Tarceva in patients with Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC. The primary endpoint of the study is overall survival.
Secondary endpoints include response rate and progression-free survival, both compared to Tarceva, and the safety and tolerability of pralatrexate. The study will seek to enroll
approximately 160 patients in up to 50 investigative sites worldwide. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to either the pralatrexate arm or the Tarceva arm. Patients randomized to the pralatrexate arm
will receive pralatrexate as an intravenous, or IV, push administered on days 1 and 15 of a 4-week/28 day cycle. The initial dose of pralatrexate
will be 190 mg/m2, which, based on defined criteria, may be increased to 230 mg/m2 or reduced in 40 mg/m2 decrements. Patients randomized to the Tarceva arm
will receive Tarceva 150 mg/day orally daily for the 4-week/28 day cycle. Patients in both arms will receive concurrent vitamin therapy of B12 and folic acid. Based on
current enrollment rates, we expect to complete patient enrollment in this study in the third quarter of 2009.

Our
decision to begin this study was based, in part, upon data from a Phase 2 open-label, single-agent study of pralatrexate in patients with relapsed or refractory
Stage IIIB or IV NSCLC completed in 2001 by Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center one of the institutions from which we licensed pralatrexate. This study demonstrated a response rate of 11%, a
median time to progression of three months and a median survival time of 13.5 months. However, 21% of the patients suffered grade 3 or 4 stomatitis, or mouth ulcers. As a result of
subsequent research that suggested supplementation of pralatrexate with folic acid and vitamin B12 may reduce the incidence of clinically significant stomatitis, in January 2005 we
initiated a Phase 1 dose escalation study of pralatrexate with vitamin B12 and folic acid supplementation in patients with previously treated Stage IIIB/IV advanced NSCLC.

In
October 2007, data from this ongoing Phase 1 study were presented at the AACR-NCI-EORTC conference. In the study, a total of 22 patients with relapsed
or refractory NSCLC were treated at

doses
of 150 to 325 mg/m2 of pralatrexate. The MTD was determined to be 270 mg/m2, which is nearly twice the dose used in the previous Phase 2 study discussed above
in which pralatrexate was administered without vitamin supplementation, and what we believe to be clinically significant radiologic responses were observed. Greater than 50% of patients, or 13 of 22,
received two or more prior treatment regimens. This study was used to establish the dosing regimen for our current Phase 2b study in patients with Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC.

Pralatrexate in the treatment of bladder cancer

Bladder cancer is the ninth most common type of cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 68,810 new cases of
bladder cancer were expected to be diagnosed in the United States in 2008. Transitional cell carcinoma, or TCC, is the most common form of bladder cancer, accounting for more than 90% of all bladder
cancers. There are no approved agents for the treatment of advanced or metastatic relapsed TCC of the urinary bladder.

In
July 2008, we initiated patient enrollment in a Phase 2, open-label, single-arm, multi-center study of pralatrexate in patients with advanced or
metastatic relapsed TCC of the urinary bladder. The primary endpoint of the study is objective response rate
(complete and partial response). Secondary endpoints include duration of response, clinical benefit rate, progression-free survival overall survival and the safety and tolerability of
pralatrexate. The study will seek to enroll approximately 41 patients in up to 20 investigative sites worldwide. Patients receive pralatrexate as an IV push administered on days 1 and 15 of a
4-week/28 day cycle. The initial dose of pralatrexate is 190 mg/m2, which may be adjusted based on criteria defined in the protocol. Patients will receive concurrent
vitamin therapy of B12 and folic acid.

Pralatrexate in the treatment of other solid tumor indications

In addition to our ongoing NSCLC and bladder cancer studies, we are evaluating the potential future development of pralatrexate for
other solid tumor indications, including Stage III/IV head and neck cancer and Stage III/IV breast cancer, among others. There can be no assurances that we will pursue the development of
pralatrexate for one or more of these indications or that such development efforts will be ultimately successful.

RH1

Our other product candidate, RH1, is a small molecule chemotherapeutic agent that we believe is bioactivated by the enzyme
DT-diaphorase, or DTD, also known as NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase, or NQ01. We believe DTD is over-expressed in many tumors, relative to normal tissue, including lung, colon,
breast and liver tumors. We believe that because RH1 is bioactivated in the presence of DTD, it may have the potential to provide targeted drug delivery to these tumor types while limiting the amount
of toxicity to normal tissue.

In
November 2007, we initiated patient enrollment in a Phase 1, open-label, multi-center dose escalation study of RH1 in patients with advanced solid tumors or NHL. We
are in the process of closing this study and determining our future development plans, if any, for RH1.

Manufacturing

The production of pralatrexate and RH1 employ small molecule organic chemistry procedures standard for the pharmaceutical industry. We
plan to continue to outsource manufacturing responsibilities for these and any additional future products, and we intend to select and rely, at least initially, on single source suppliers to
manufacture each of our product candidates. We believe this manufacturing strategy allows us to direct our financial and managerial resources to the development and commercialization of products
rather than to the establishment of a manufacturing infrastructure.

We
believe it also enables us to minimize fixed costs and capital expenditures, while gaining access to advanced manufacturing process capabilities and expertise. However, if our third party suppliers
become unable or unwilling to provide sufficient future drug supply or meet regulatory requirements relating to the manufacture of pharmaceutical agents, we would be forced to incur additional
expenses to secure alternative third party manufacturing arrangements and may suffer delays in our ability to conduct clinical trials or commercialize these products.

Pralatrexate

We have entered into arrangements with one third-party manufacturer to produce pralatrexate bulk drug substance and another third-party
manufacturer to produce pralatrexate formulated drug product for use in our clinical development programs. We believe these third-party manufacturers have the capability to meet our requirements for
all future clinical trial requirements. As we pursue FDA approval to market pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL, we will seek to establish appropriate
commercial supply arrangements for the production of pralatrexate bulk drug substance and formulated drug product.

RH1

We have entered into arrangements with one third party manufacturer to produce RH1 bulk drug substance and another third party
manufacturer to produce RH1 formulated drug product for use in our clinical development programs. We believe these third party manufacturers have the capability to meet our requirements for any future
clinical trials, if any, involving RH1.

Sales and Marketing

We currently retain exclusive worldwide commercial rights to pralatrexate and RH1 for all target indications. If we obtain FDA approval
to market pralatrexate, we intend to commercialize pralatrexate in the United States by building a focused sales and marketing organization that may be complemented by co-promotion or
other partnering arrangements with pharmaceutical or biotechnology partners, where appropriate. Our sales and marketing strategy is to:



Intellectual Property

We believe that patent protection and trade secret protection are important to our business and that our future success will depend, in
part, on our ability to maintain our technology licenses, maintain trade secret protection, obtain and maintain patents and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others both in the
United States and abroad. We believe that obtaining identical patents and protection periods for a given technology throughout all markets of
the world will be difficult because of differences in patent laws. In addition, the protection provided by non-U.S. patents, if any, may be weaker than that provided by U.S. patents.

Table of Contents

In order to protect the confidentiality of our technology, including trade secrets and know-how and other proprietary technical and business
information, we require all of our employees, consultants, advisors and collaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements that prohibit the use or disclosure of confidential information. The
agreements also oblige our employees, consultants, advisors and collaborators to assign or license to us ideas, developments, discoveries and inventions made by such persons in connection with their
work with us. We cannot be sure that these agreements will maintain confidentiality, will prevent disclosure, or will protect our proprietary information or intellectual property, or that others will
not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or intellectual property.

The
pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive and patents have been applied for by, and issued to, other parties relating to products or new technologies that may be competitive with
those being developed by us. Therefore, our product candidates may give rise to claims that they infringe the patents or proprietary rights of other parties now or in the future. Furthermore, to the
extent that we, our consultants, or manufacturing and research collaborators, use intellectual property owned by others in work performed for us, disputes may also arise as to the rights to such
intellectual property or in related or resulting know-how and inventions. An adverse claim could subject us to significant liabilities to such other parties and/or require disputed rights
to be licensed from such other parties. A license required under any such patents or proprietary rights may not be available to us, or may not be available on acceptable terms. If we do not obtain
such licenses, we may encounter delays in product market introductions, or may find that we are prevented from the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses. In addition, we
could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in legal proceedings instituted before patent and trademark offices in the United States, the European Union, or other ex-U.S.
territories, or in a suit brought against us by a private
party based on such patents or proprietary rights, or in a suit by us asserting our patent or proprietary rights against another party, even if the outcome is not adverse to us.

Pralatrexate

In December 2002, we entered into a license agreement with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, SRI International and Southern
Research Institute, as amended, under which we obtained exclusive worldwide rights to a portfolio of patents and patent applications related to pralatrexate and its uses. The portfolio currently
consists of two issued patents in the United States, two granted patents in Europe, and pending patent applications in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan, China, Brazil, Indonesia,
India, South Korea, Mexico, Norway, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore and South Africa. The licensed patents and applications, which expire at various times between July 2017 and May 2025,
contain claims covering pralatrexate substantially free of 10-deazaaminopterin, methods to treat tumors with pralatrexate substantially free of 10-deazaaminopterin, treatment
of breast, lung, and prostate cancer and leukemia with a combination of pralatrexate and a taxane, treatment of T-cell lymphoma with pralatrexate, treatment of lymphoma with a combination
of pralatrexate and gemcitabine, methods of assessing sensitivity of a tumor to pralatrexate, and other methods and compositions.

Under
the terms of the agreement, we paid an up-front license fee of $2.0 million upon execution of the agreement and are also required to make certain additional cash
payments based upon the achievement of certain clinical development or regulatory milestones or the passage of certain time periods. To date, we have made aggregate milestone payments of
$2.5 million based on the passage of time. In the future, we could make an aggregate milestone payment of $500,000 upon the earlier of achievement of a clinical development milestone or the
passage of certain time periods, or the Clinical Milestone, and up to $10.3 million upon achievement of certain regulatory milestones, or the Regulatory Milestones, including regulatory
approval to market pralatrexate in the United States or Europe. The last scheduled payment towards the Clinical Milestone of $500,000 is currently due on

December 23,
2009. We intend to submit an NDA for pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL in the first half of 2009. If the FDA accepts our NDA for review
and if we obtain FDA approval to market pralatrexate, we will be obligated to make payments of $1,500,000 and $5,300,000, respectively, which represent a portion of the Regulatory Milestones. The
up-front license fee and all milestone payments under the agreement have been or will be recorded to research and development expense when incurred. Under the terms of the agreement, we
are required to fund all development programs and will have sole responsibility for all commercialization activities. In addition, we will pay the licensors a royalty based on a percentage of net
revenues arising from sales of the product or sublicense revenues arising from sublicensing the product, if and when such sales or sublicenses occur.

RH1

In December 2004, we entered into an agreement with the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, the University of Salford and
Cancer Research Technology, or CRT, under which we obtained exclusive worldwide rights to certain intellectual property surrounding a proprietary molecule known as RH1. Under the terms of the
agreement, we paid an up-front license fee of $190,500 upon execution of the agreement and are also required to make certain additional cash payments based upon the achievement of certain
clinical development, regulatory and commercialization milestones. We could make aggregate milestone payments of up to $9.2 million upon the achievement of the clinical development, regulatory
and commercialization milestones set forth in the agreement. The up-front license fee and all milestone payments under the agreement, as well as the one-time data option fee
discussed below, have been recorded to research and development expense. Under the terms of the agreement and related data option agreement, we paid the licensors a one-time data option
fee of $360,000 in 2007 for an exclusive license to the results of a Phase 1 study sponsored by Cancer Research UK, CRT's parent institution. This Phase 1 study was completed in 2007
and, under the terms of the agreement, we have since assumed responsibility for all future development costs and activities and have sole responsibility for all commercialization activities. In
addition, we will pay the licensors a royalty based on a percentage of net revenues arising from sales of the product or sublicense revenues arising from sublicensing the product, if and when such
sales or sublicenses occur. We are in the process of closing our Phase 1 study of RH1 in patients with advanced solid tumors or NHL and determining our future development plans, if any, for
RH1.

Competition

The pharmaceutical industry is characterized by rapidly evolving technology and intense competition. Many companies of all sizes,
including a number of large pharmaceutical companies and several biotechnology companies, are developing cancer therapies similar to ours. There are products and technologies currently on the market
that will compete directly with the products that we are developing. In addition, colleges, universities, governmental agencies and other public and private research institutions will continue to
conduct research and are becoming more active in seeking patent protection and licensing arrangements to collect license fees, milestone payments and royalties in exchange for license rights to
technologies that they have developed, some of which may directly compete with our technologies. These companies and institutions also compete with us in recruiting qualified scientific personnel.
Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, research and development, human and other resources than do we. Furthermore, large pharmaceutical companies may have significantly more
experience than we do in preclinical testing, human clinical trials, manufacturing, regulatory approval and commercialization procedures. Our competitors may:

We
expect technology developments in our industry to continue to occur at a rapid pace. Commercial developments by our competitors may render some or all of our potential products
obsolete or non-competitive, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

While
there are currently no FDA-approved agents in the United States indicated for the treatment of PTCL, we are aware of multiple investigational agents that are currently
being studied in clinical trials. There are also several agents and regimens, such as CHOP, that are currently used by physicians without an FDA label in PTCL that could potentially represent
competition for pralatrexate.

Government Regulation

FDA Regulation and Product Approval

The FDA and comparable regulatory agencies in state and local jurisdictions and in foreign countries impose substantial requirements
upon the clinical development, manufacture and marketing of pharmaceutical products. These agencies and other federal, state and local entities regulate research and development activities and the
testing, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, advertising and promotion of our product candidates.

The
process required by the FDA before our product candidates may be marketed in the United States generally involves the following:



The
testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our product candidates will be granted on a
timely basis, if at all.

Preclinical
tests include laboratory evaluation of the product candidate, its chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as animal studies to assess its potential safety and efficacy.
We then submit the results of the preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, to the FDA as part of an IND application, which must become effective before we may
begin human clinical trials. The IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after the FDA acknowledges that the filing is complete, unless the FDA, within the 30-day time period,
raises concerns or questions about the conduct of the trials as outlined in the IND. In such a case, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolve any outstanding concerns before clinical trials can begin.
Further, an independent Institutional Review Board at each medical center proposing to conduct the clinical trials must review and approve any clinical study.

Human
clinical trials are typically conducted in three sequential phases, which may overlap:



14

---



Table of Contents



In
the case of product candidates for severe or life-threatening diseases such as cancer, the initial human testing is often conducted in patients rather than in healthy
volunteers. Since these patients already have the target disease, these studies may provide initial evidence of efficacy traditionally obtained in Phase 2 trials and thus these trials are
frequently referred to as Phase 1b trials. Additionally, when product candidates can do damage to normal cells, it is not ethical to administer such drugs to healthy patients in a
Phase 1 trial.

We
cannot be certain that we will successfully complete Phase 1, Phase 2 or Phase 3 testing of our product candidates within any specific time period, if at all.
Furthermore, the FDA, the Institutional Review Boards or the sponsor may suspend clinical trials at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the subjects or patients are being exposed to
an unacceptable health risk.

The
results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical studies are submitted to the FDA as part of an NDA for approval of the marketing and commercial shipment of the
product candidate. The FDA may deny an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied or may require additional clinical data. Even if such data is submitted, the FDA may ultimately
decide that the NDA does not satisfy the criteria for approval. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval if compliance with regulatory standards is not maintained or if problems occur after
the product reaches the market. In addition, the FDA may require testing and surveillance programs to monitor the effect of approved products that have been commercialized, and the agency has the
power to prevent or limit further marketing of a product based on the results of these post-marketing programs.

Satisfaction
of the above FDA requirements or similar requirements of state, local and foreign regulatory agencies typically takes several years and the actual time required may vary
substantially, based upon the type, complexity and novelty of the pharmaceutical product candidate. Government regulation may delay or prevent marketing of potential products for a considerable period
of time and impose costly procedures upon our activities.

We
cannot be certain that the FDA or any other regulatory agency will grant approval for any of our product candidates on a timely basis, if at all. Success in preclinical or early stage
clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinical trials. Data obtained from preclinical and clinical activities is not always conclusive and may be susceptible to varying
interpretations, which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. Even if a product candidate receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited to specific indications.
Further, even after regulatory approval is obtained, later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product may result in restrictions on the product or even complete withdrawal of the product
from the market. Delays in obtaining, or failures to obtain regulatory approvals for pralatrexate would have a material adverse effect on our business. Marketing our product candidates abroad will
require similar regulatory approvals and is subject to similar risks. In addition, we cannot predict what adverse governmental regulations may arise from future U.S. or foreign governmental action.

Any
products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA clearances or approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including record-keeping
requirements and reporting of adverse experiences with the drug. Our third-party drug manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register their establishments with the FDA and certain
state agencies,

15

Table of Contents

and
are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices, which impose certain procedural and documentation
requirements upon us and our third-party manufacturers. We cannot be certain that we or our present or future suppliers will be able to comply with the current Good Manufacturing Practices and other
FDA regulatory requirements.

The
FDA regulates drug labeling and promotion activities. The FDA has actively enforced regulations prohibiting the marketing of products for unapproved uses.

Our
product candidates are also subject to a variety of state laws and regulations in those states or localities where such product candidates may be marketed. Any applicable state or
local regulations may hinder our ability to market our product candidates in those states or localities.

The
FDA's policies may change and additional government regulations may be enacted in the future that could prevent or delay regulatory approval of our potential products. Moreover,
increased attention to the containment of health care costs in the United States and in foreign markets could result in new government regulations, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business. We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of adverse governmental regulation, which might arise from future legislative or administrative action, either in the United States or
abroad.

Foreign Regulation and Product Approval

Outside the United States, our ability to market a product candidate is contingent upon receiving marketing authorization from the
appropriate regulatory authorities. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, marketing authorization, pricing and reimbursement vary widely from country to country. At present,
foreign marketing authorizations are applied for at a national level, although within the European Union, or EU, centralized registration procedures are available to companies wishing to market a
product in more than one EU member state. If the regulatory authority is satisfied that adequate evidence of safety, quality and efficacy has been presented, a marketing authorization will be granted.
In some countries in the EU, pricing of prescription drugs is subject to government control and agreements must be reached on a national level before marketing may begin in that country. If we are
unable to reach agreement on an acceptable price for our products, we may choose not to pursue marketing of our drugs in that country. The
foreign regulatory approval process involves all of the risks associated with FDA approval discussed above.

Other Regulations

We are also subject to numerous federal, state and local laws relating to such matters as safe working conditions, manufacturing
practices, environmental protection, fire hazard control, and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances. We may incur significant costs to comply with such laws and regulations now or
in the future.

Results of Operations

We are a development stage company. Since our inception in 1992, we have not generated any revenue from product sales and have
experienced significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations. We have incurred these losses principally from costs incurred in our research and development programs, clinical
manufacturing and from our marketing, general and administrative expenses. Our primary business activities have been focused on the development of pralatrexate, RH1 and EFAPROXYN (a program which we
discontinued in mid-2007). For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, we had net losses attributable to common stockholders of $51.7 million, $39.4 million,
and $30.2 million, respectively. Research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $23.8 million, $17.4 million and
$14.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, we had accumulated a deficit during our development stage of $299.7 million.

Table of Contents

Our
ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability is dependent on our ability, alone or with partners, to successfully complete the development of pralatrexate, conduct clinical
trials, obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, and manufacture and market pralatrexate. The timing and costs to complete the successful development of pralatrexate is highly uncertain, and
therefore difficult to estimate. The lengthy process of seeking regulatory approvals for pralatrexate, and the subsequent compliance with applicable regulations, require the expenditure of substantial
resources. For a more complete discussion of the regulatory approval process, please refer to the "Government Regulation" section above. Clinical development timelines, likelihood of success and total
costs vary widely and are impacted by a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in the "Risk Factors" section
of Item 1A below. Because of these risks and uncertainties, we cannot predict when or whether we will successfully complete the development of pralatrexate or the ultimate costs of such
efforts. Due to these same factors, we cannot be certain when, or if, we will generate any revenue or net cash inflow from pralatrexate.

Even
if our clinical trials demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of pralatrexate in its target indications, we do not expect to be able to generate commercial sales of pralatrexate
until the second half of 2009, at the earliest. We expect to continue incurring net losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future. Although the size and timing of our future net losses are
subject to significant uncertainty, we expect them to increase over the next several years as we continue to fund our research and development programs and prepare for the potential commercial launch
of pralatrexate.

We
anticipate continuing our current development programs and/or beginning other long-term development projects involving pralatrexate. These projects may require many years
and substantial expenditures to complete and may ultimately be unsuccessful. In addition, we intend to submit an NDA for pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL in
the first half of 2009. We expect to incur significant costs relating to preparations for the potential commercial launch of pralatrexate, including pre-commercial scale up of
manufacturing and development of sales and marketing capabilities, prior to the receipt of regulatory approval to market pralatrexate. Therefore, we will need to raise additional capital to support
our future operations, including the potential commercialization of pralatrexate if approved for marketing. Our actual capital requirements will depend on many factors, including those discussed under
the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section below.

We
may seek to obtain this additional capital through equity or debt financings, arrangements with corporate partners, or from other sources. Such arrangements, if successfully
consummated, may be dilutive to our existing stockholders. However, there is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed, or that, if available, we will obtain such financing
on terms that are favorable to our stockholders or us. In particular, the current instability in the global financial markets and lack of liquidity in the credit and capital markets may adversely
affect our ability to secure adequate capital to support our future operations. In the event that additional funds are obtained through arrangements with collaborative partners or other sources, such
arrangements may require us to relinquish rights to some of our technologies, product candidates or products under development, which we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves on
terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available. If we are unable to generate meaningful amounts of revenue from future product sales, if any, or cannot otherwise raise sufficient
additional funds to support our operations, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our development programs and our business and future prospects for revenue and
profitability may be harmed.

We
incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia on September 1, 1992 as HemoTech Sciences, Inc. and filed amended Articles of Incorporation to change our name to Allos
Therapeutics, Inc. on October 19, 1994. We reincorporated in Delaware on October 28, 1996. We operate as a single business segment.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

Our business faces significant risks. These risks include those described below and may include additional
risks of which we are not currently aware or that we currently do not believe are material. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risk factors actually occurs, they
may materially harm our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not
yet identified or that we think are immaterial may also materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition. The following risks should be read in conjunction with the other
information set forth in this report.

We have a history of net losses and an accumulated deficit, and we may never generate revenue or achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

Since our inception in 1992, we have not generated any revenue from product sales and have experienced significant net losses and
negative cash flows from operations. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the public and private sale of securities. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006,
we had net losses attributable to common stockholders of $51.7 million, $39.4 million, and $30.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, we had accumulated a
deficit during our development stage of $299.7 million. We have incurred these losses principally from costs incurred in our research and development programs, clinical manufacturing and from
our marketing, general and administrative expenses. We expect to continue incurring net losses for the foreseeable future. Our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability is dependent on our
ability, alone or with partners, to successfully complete the development of pralatrexate (PDX), conduct clinical trials, obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, and manufacture and market
pralatrexate. We may never generate revenue from product sales or become profitable. We expect to continue to spend substantial amounts on research and development, including amounts spent on
conducting clinical trials for pralatrexate, and in preparing for the potential commercial launch of pralatrexate. We may not be able to continue as a going concern if we are unable to generate
meaningful amounts of revenue to support our operations or cannot otherwise raise the necessary funds to support our operations.

Our near-term prospects are substantially dependent on pralatrexate (PDX), our lead product candidate. If we are unable to successfully develop and obtain
regulatory approval for pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL, our ability to generate revenue will be significantly delayed.

We currently have no products that are approved for commercial sale. Our product candidates are in various stages of development, and
significant research and development, financial resources and personnel will be required to develop commercially viable products, obtain the necessary regulatory approvals therefor, and successfully
commercialize them. Substantially all of our efforts and expenditures over the next few years will be devoted to pralatrexate as we are in the process of closing our current Phase 1 clinical
study of RH1 in patients with advanced solid tumors or NHL and determining our future development plans, if any, for RH1. Accordingly, our future prospects are substantially dependent on the
successful development, regulatory approval and commercialization of pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL. Even if we receive regulatory approval, pralatrexate
is not expected to be commercially available for this or any other indication until at least the second half of 2009. Further, certain of the indications that we are pursuing for pralatrexate have
relatively low incidence rates, which may make it difficult for us to enroll a sufficient number of patients in our clinical trials on a timely basis, or at all, and may limit the revenue potential of
pralatrexate. If we are unable to successfully develop, obtain regulatory approval for and commercialize pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL, our ability to
generate revenue from product sales will be significantly delayed and our stock price would likely decline.

We cannot predict when or if we will obtain regulatory approval to commercialize pralatrexate.

Pralatrexate is in the clinical stage of development and has not been approved for marketing in the United States or any other country.
A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the United States or most other countries until it has completed a rigorous and extensive regulatory review and approval process. If we fail to obtain
regulatory approval to market pralatrexate, we will be unable to sell pralatrexate and generate revenue, which would jeopardize our ability to continue operating our business. Satisfaction of
regulatory requirements typically takes many years, is dependent upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product and requires the expenditure of substantial resources. Of particular significance
are the requirements covering research and development, testing, manufacturing, quality control, labeling and promotion of drugs for human use. We may not obtain regulatory approval for pralatrexate,
or we may not obtain regulatory review of pralatrexate in a timely manner.

While we have negotiated a special protocol assessment with the FDA relating to our PROPEL trial, this agreement does not guarantee any particular outcome from regulatory
review of the trial or the product, including any regulatory approval.

The protocol for the PROPEL trial was reviewed by the FDA under its special protocol assessment, or SPA process, which allows for FDA
evaluation of a clinical trial protocol intended to form the primary basis of an efficacy claim in support of a new drug application, and provides an agreement that the study design, including trial
size, clinical endpoints and/or data analyses are acceptable to the FDA. However, the SPA agreement is not a guarantee of approval, and we cannot be certain that the design of, or data collected from,
the PROPEL trial will be adequate to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL, or otherwise be sufficient to support FDA or
any foreign regulatory approval. In addition, the response rate, duration of response and safety profile required to support FDA approval are not specified in the PROPEL trial protocol and will be
subject to FDA review. Further, the SPA agreement is not binding on the FDA if public health concerns unrecognized at the time the SPA agreement was entered into become evident, other new scientific
concerns regarding product safety or efficacy arise, or if we fail to comply with the agreed upon trial protocols. In addition, the SPA agreement may be changed by us or

the
FDA on written agreement of both parties, and the FDA retains significant latitude and discretion in interpreting the terms of the SPA agreement and the data and results from the PROPEL trial. As
a result, we do not know how the FDA will interpret the parties' respective commitments under the SPA agreement, how it will interpret the data and results from the PROPEL trial, or whether
pralatrexate will receive any regulatory approvals as a result of the SPA agreement or the PROPEL trial. Therefore, despite the potential benefits of the SPA agreement, significant uncertainty remains
regarding the
clinical development and regulatory approval process for pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL.

Even if pralatrexate meets safety and efficacy endpoints in clinical trials, regulatory authorities may not approve pralatrexate, or we may face post-approval
problems that require withdrawal of pralatrexate from the market.

The research, testing, manufacturing, labeling, approval, selling, marketing and distribution of drug products are subject to extensive
regulation by the FDA and other regulatory authorities in the United States and other countries, which regulations differ from country to country. We will not be able to commercialize pralatrexate
until we have obtained regulatory approval. We have limited experience in filing and pursuing applications necessary to gain regulatory approvals, which may place us at risk of delays, overspending
and human resources inefficiencies.

Pralatrexate
may not be approved even if it achieves its endpoints in clinical trials. Regulatory agencies, including the FDA, or their advisors, may disagree with our interpretations of
data from preclinical studies and clinical trials. The FDA has substantial discretion in the approval process, and when or whether regulatory approval will be obtained for any drug we develop. For
example, even though we established an SPA with the FDA for our PROPEL trial, there is no guarantee that the data generated from the PROPEL trial will be adequate to support FDA approval. Regulatory
agencies also may approve a product candidate for fewer conditions than requested or may grant approval subject to the performance of post-marketing studies or risk evaluation and
mitigation strategies (REMS) for a product candidate. In addition, regulatory agencies may not approve the labeling claims that are necessary or desirable for the successful commercialization of
pralatrexate.

Even
if we receive regulatory approval, pralatrexate may later produce adverse events that limits or prevents its widespread use or that force us to withdraw pralatrexate from the
market. In addition, a marketed product continues to be subject to strict regulation after approval and may be required to undergo post-approval studies. Any unforeseen problems with an
approved product or any violation of regulations could result in restrictions on the product, including its withdrawal from the market. Any delay in or failure to receive or maintain regulatory
approval for pralatrexate could harm our business and prevent us from ever generating meaningful revenues or achieving profitability.

Even if we receive regulatory approval for pralatrexate, we will be subject to ongoing regulatory obligations and review.

Following any regulatory approval of pralatrexate, we will be subject to continuing regulatory obligations such as safety reporting
requirements and additional post-marketing obligations, including regulatory oversight of the promotion and marketing of pralatrexate. In addition, we or our third-party manufacturers will
be required to adhere to regulations setting forth the FDA's current Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMP. These regulations cover all aspects of the manufacturing, storage, testing, quality control
and record keeping relating to pralatrexate. Furthermore, we or our third-party manufacturers must pass a pre-approval inspection of manufacturing facilities by the FDA and foreign
authorities before obtaining marketing approval and will be subject to periodic inspection by these regulatory authorities to ensure strict compliance with cGMP or other applicable government
regulations and corresponding foreign standards. We do not have control over a third-party manufacturer's compliance with these regulations and standards. Such inspections may result in

compliance
issues that could prevent or delay marketing approval, or require the expenditure of substantial financial or other resources to address. If we or our third-party manufacturers fail to
comply with applicable regulatory requirements, we may be subject to fines, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals, product recalls, seizure of products, operating restrictions and criminal
prosecution.

We will need to raise additional capital to support our future operations. If we fail to obtain the capital necessary to fund our operations, we will be unable to
successfully develop or commercialize pralatrexate.

Based upon the current status of our product development plans, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents, and investments in
marketable securities as of December 31, 2008 should be adequate to support our operations through at least the next 12 months, although there can be no assurance that this can, in fact,
be accomplished. We anticipate continuing our current development programs and/or beginning other long-term development projects involving pralatrexate. These projects may require many
years and substantial expenditures to complete and may ultimately be unsuccessful. In addition, we intend to submit an NDA for pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory
PTCL in the first half of 2009. We expect to incur significant costs relating to preparations for the potential commercial launch of pralatrexate, including pre-commercial scale up of
manufacturing and development of sales and marketing capabilities. Therefore, we will need to raise additional capital to support our future operations. Our actual capital requirements will depend on
many factors, including:



We
may seek to obtain this additional capital through equity or debt financings, arrangements with corporate partners, or from other sources. Such financings or arrangements, if
successfully consummated, may be dilutive to our existing stockholders. However, there is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed, or that, if available, we will obtain
such financing on terms that are favorable to our stockholders or us. In particular, the current instability in the global financial markets and lack of liquidity in the credit and capital markets may
adversely affect our ability to secure adequate capital to support our future operations. In the event that additional funds are obtained through arrangements with collaborative partners or other
sources, such arrangements may
require us to relinquish rights to some of our technologies, product candidates or products under development that we might otherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves on terms that are less
favorable than might otherwise be available. If we are unable to generate meaningful amounts of revenue from future product sales, if any, or cannot otherwise raise sufficient additional funds to
support our operations, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our development programs and our business and future prospects for revenue and profitability may be
harmed.

Budget constraints may force us to delay our efforts to develop pralatrexate for certain indications in favor of developing it for other indications, which may prevent us
from commercializing pralatrexate for all desired indications as quickly as possible.

Because we have limited resources, and because research and development is an expensive process, we must regularly assess the most
efficient allocation of our research and development budget. As a result, we may have to prioritize development of pralatrexate for certain indications and may not be able to fully realize the value
of pralatrexate for other indications in a timely manner, if at all.

If pralatrexate fails to meet safety and efficacy endpoints in clinical trials, it will not receive regulatory approval and we will be unable to market pralatrexate.

Pralatrexate may not prove to be safe and efficacious in clinical trials and may not meet all of the applicable regulatory requirements
needed to receive regulatory approval. The clinical development and regulatory approval process is expensive and takes many years. Failure can occur at any stage of development, and the timing of any
regulatory approval cannot be accurately predicted. In addition, failure to comply with the FDA and other applicable U.S. and foreign regulatory requirements applicable to clinical trials may subject
us to administrative or judicially imposed sanctions.

As
part of the regulatory process, we must conduct clinical trials for pralatrexate and any other product candidate to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and
other regulatory authorities abroad. The number and design of clinical trials that will be required varies depending on the product candidate, the condition being evaluated, the trial results and
regulations applicable to any particular product candidate. The design of our pralatrexate clinical trials is based on many assumptions about the expected effect of pralatrexate, and if those
assumptions prove incorrect, the
clinical trials may not demonstrate the safety or efficacy of pralatrexate. Preliminary results may not be confirmed upon full analysis of the detailed results of a trial, and prior clinical trial
program designs and results may not be predictive of future clinical trial designs or results. Product candidates in later stage clinical trials may fail to show the desired safety and efficacy
despite having progressed through initial clinical trials with acceptable endpoints. For example, we terminated the development of EFAPROXYN, one of our former product candidates, when it failed to
demonstrate statistically significant improvement in overall survival in the targeted patients in a Phase 3 clinical trial. If pralatrexate fails to show clinically significant benefits, it
will not be approved for marketing.

Even
if we achieve positive interim results in clinical trials, these results do not necessarily predict final results, and acceptable results in early trials may not be repeated in
later trials. Data obtained from preclinical and clinical activities are susceptible to varying interpretations that could delay, limit or prevent regulatory clearances, and the FDA can request that
we conduct additional clinical trials. A number of companies in the pharmaceutical industry have suffered significant setbacks in advanced clinical trials, even after promising results in earlier
trials. In addition, negative or inconclusive results or adverse medical events during a clinical trial could cause a clinical trial to be repeated or terminated. Also, failure to construct clinical
trial protocols to screen patients for risk profile factors relevant to the trial for purposes of segregating patients into the patient populations treated with the drug being tested and the control
group could result in either group experiencing a disproportionate number of adverse events and could cause a clinical trial to be repeated or terminated. If we have to conduct additional clinical
trials for pralatrexate, it would significantly increase our expenses and delay potential marketing of pralatrexate.

We
announced the final results from our pivotal Phase 2 PROPEL trial in February 2009. Based on the results of the trial, we intend to submit an NDA to the FDA for pralatrexate
for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL in the first half of 2009. We cannot assure you that the design of, or data collected from, the PROPEL trial will be adequate to
demonstrate the safety and efficacy of pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL, or otherwise be

sufficient
to support FDA or any foreign regulatory approval. The FDA may disagree with our interpretation of the results of the trial and determine that the data are not sufficient to support
approval. If we fail to obtain regulatory approval for pralatrexate, we will be unable to market and sell pralatrexate and therefore may never generate meaningful amounts of revenue or become
profitable.

We may experience delays in our clinical trials that could adversely affect our financial position and our commercial prospects.

We do not know when our current clinical trials will be completed, if at all. We also cannot accurately predict when other planned
clinical trials will begin or be completed. Many factors affect patient enrollment, including the size of the patient population, the proximity of
patients to clinical sites, the eligibility criteria for the trial, competing clinical trials and new drugs approved for the conditions we are investigating. Other companies are conducting clinical
trials and have announced plans for future trials that are seeking or likely to seek patients with the same diseases as those we are studying. Competition for patients in some cancer trials is
particularly intense because of the limited number of leading specialist physicians and the geographic concentration of major clinical centers.

As
a result of the numerous factors that can affect the pace of progress of clinical trials, our trials may take longer to enroll patients than we anticipate, if they can be completed at
all. Delays in patient enrollment in the trials may increase our costs and slow our product development and approval process. Our product development costs will also increase if we need to perform
more or larger clinical trials than planned. If other companies' product candidates show favorable results, we may be required to conduct additional clinical trials to address changes in treatment
regimens or for our products to be commercially competitive. Any delays in completing our clinical trials will delay our ability to generate revenue from product sales, and we may have insufficient
capital resources to support our operations. Even if we do have sufficient capital resources, our ability to become profitable will be delayed.

We may be required to suspend, repeat or terminate our clinical trials if they are not conducted in accordance with regulatory requirements, the results are negative or
inconclusive or the trials are not well designed.

Clinical trials must be conducted in accordance with the FDA's current Good Clinical Practices or other applicable foreign government
guidelines and are subject to oversight by the FDA, other foreign governmental agencies and Institutional Review Boards at the medical institutions where the clinical trials are conducted. In
addition, clinical trials must be conducted with product candidates produced under cGMP and may require large numbers of test subjects. Clinical trials may be suspended by the FDA, other foreign
governmental agencies, or us for various reasons, including:



23

Table of Contents



In
addition, changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur and we may need to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes. Amendments may require us to resubmit
our clinical trial protocols to Institutional Review Boards for reexamination, which may impact the costs, timing or successful completion of a clinical trial. Due to these and other factors,
pralatrexate could take a significantly longer time to gain regulatory approval than we expect or may never gain approval, which could reduce or eliminate our revenue by delaying or terminating the
potential commercialization of pralatrexate.

Reports of adverse events or safety concerns involving pralatrexate or in related technology fields or other companies' clinical trials could delay or prevent us from
obtaining regulatory approval or negatively impact public perception of pralatrexate.

Pralatrexate may produce serious adverse events. These adverse events could interrupt, delay or halt clinical trials of pralatrexate
and could result in the FDA or other regulatory authorities denying approval of pralatrexate for any or all targeted indications. An independent data safety monitoring board, the FDA, other regulatory
authorities or we may suspend or terminate clinical trials at any time. We cannot assure you that pralatrexate or any other product candidate will be safe for human use.

At
present, there are a number of clinical trials being conducted by other pharmaceutical companies involving small molecule chemotherapeutic agents. If other pharmaceutical companies
announce that they observed frequent adverse events or unknown safety issues in their trials involving compounds similar to, or competitive with, pralatrexate, we could encounter delays in the timing
of our clinical trials or difficulties in obtaining the approval of pralatrexate. In addition, the public perception of pralatrexate might be adversely affected, which could harm our business and
results of operations and cause the market price of our common stock to decline, even if the concern relates to another company's product or product candidate.

Due to our reliance on contract research organizations and other third parties to conduct our clinical trials, we are unable to directly control the timing, conduct and
expense of our clinical trials.

We rely primarily on third parties to conduct our clinical trials, including the PROPEL trial. As a result, we have had and will
continue to have less control over the conduct of our clinical trials, the timing and completion of the trials, the required reporting of adverse events and the management of data developed through
the trial than would be the case if we were relying entirely upon our own staff. Communicating with outside parties can also be challenging, potentially leading to mistakes as well as difficulties in
coordinating activities. Outside parties may have staffing difficulties, may undergo changes in priorities or may become financially distressed, any of which may adversely affect their willingness or
ability to conduct our trials. We may experience unexpected cost increases that are beyond our control. Problems with the timeliness or quality of the work of a contract research organization may lead
us to seek to terminate the relationship and use an alternative service provider. However, making this change may be costly and may delay our trials, and contractual restrictions may make such a
change difficult or impossible. Additionally, it may be impossible to find a replacement organization that can conduct our trials in an acceptable manner and at an acceptable cost.

We do not have manufacturing facilities or capabilities and are dependent on third parties to fulfill our manufacturing needs, which could result in the delay of clinical
trials, regulatory approvals, product introductions and commercial sales.

We are dependent on third parties for the manufacture and storage of pralatrexate for clinical trials and, if approved, for commercial
sale. If we are unable to contract for a sufficient supply of pralatrexate on acceptable terms, or if we encounter delays or difficulties in the manufacturing process or our relationships with our
manufacturers, we may not have sufficient product to conduct or

complete
our clinical trials or support commercial requirements for pralatrexate, if it is approved for marketing.

Pralatrexate
is cytotoxic, which requires the manufacturers of pralatrexate to have specialized equipment and safety systems to handle such a substance. In addition, the starting
materials for pralatrexate require custom preparations, which will require us to manage an additional set of suppliers to obtain the needed supplies of pralatrexate.

Given
our lack of formal supply agreements and the fact that in many cases our components are supplied by a single source, our third party suppliers may not be able to fulfill our
potential commercial needs or meet our deadlines, or the components they supply to us may not meet our specifications and quality policies and procedures. If we need to find an alternative supplier of
pralatrexate or its components, we may not be able to contract for those components on acceptable terms, if at all. Any such failure to supply or delay caused by such suppliers would have an adverse
effect on our ability to continue clinical development of pralatrexate or commercialize pralatrexate, if it is approved for marketing.

Even
if we obtain approval to market pralatrexate in one or more indications, our current or future manufacturers may be unable to accurately and reliably manufacture commercial
quantities of pralatrexate at reasonable costs, on a timely basis and in compliance with the FDA's cGMP. If our current or future contract manufacturers fail in any of these respects, our ability to
timely complete our clinical trials, obtain required regulatory approvals and successfully commercialize pralatrexate will be materially and adversely affected. This risk may be heightened with
respect to pralatrexate as there are a limited number of fill/finish manufacturers with the ability to handle cytotoxic products such as pralatrexate. Our reliance on contract manufacturers exposes us
to additional risks, including:



Any
of these factors could result in the delay of clinical trials, regulatory submissions, required approvals or commercialization of pralatrexate. They could also entail higher costs
and result in our being unable to effectively commercialize pralatrexate.

If we are unable to effectively protect our intellectual property, we will be unable to prevent third parties from using our technology, which would impair our
competitiveness and ability to commercialize pralatrexate. In addition, enforcing our proprietary rights may be expensive and result in increased losses.

Our success will depend in part on our ability to obtain and maintain meaningful patent protection for pralatrexate, both in the United
States and in other countries. We rely on patents to protect a large part of our intellectual property and our competitive position. Any patents issued to or licensed by us could be challenged,
invalidated, infringed, circumvented or held unenforceable, based on, among other things, obviousness, inequitable conduct, anticipation or enablement. In addition, it is possible that no patents will
issue on any of our licensed patent applications. It is possible that the claims in patents that have been issued or licensed to us or that may be issued or licensed to us in the future will not be
sufficiently broad to protect our intellectual property or that the patents will not provide protection against competitive products or otherwise be commercially valuable. Failure to obtain and
maintain adequate patent protection for our intellectual property would impair our ability to be commercially competitive.

Our
commercial success will also depend in part on our ability to commercialize pralatrexate without infringing patents or other proprietary rights of others or breaching the licenses
granted to us. We may not be able to obtain a license to third-party technology that we may require to conduct our business or, if obtainable, we may not be able to license such technology at a
reasonable cost. If we fail to obtain a license to any technology that we may require to commercialize pralatrexate, or fail to obtain a license at a reasonable cost, we will be unable to
commercialize pralatrexate or to commercialize it at a price that will allow us to become profitable.

In
addition to patent protection, we also rely upon trade secrets, proprietary know-how and technological advances that we seek to protect through confidentiality agreements
with our collaborators, employees, advisors and consultants. Our employees and consultants are required to enter into confidentiality agreements with us. We also enter into non-disclosure
agreements with our collaborators and vendors, which agreements are intended to protect our confidential information delivered to third parties for research and other purposes. However, these
agreements could be breached and we may not have adequate remedies for any breach, or our trade secrets and proprietary know-how could otherwise become known or be independently discovered
by others.

Furthermore,
as with any pharmaceutical company, our patent and other proprietary rights are subject to uncertainty. Our patent rights related to pralatrexate might conflict with current
or future patents and other proprietary rights of others. For the same reasons, the products of others could infringe our patents or other proprietary rights. Litigation or patent interference
proceedings, either of which could result in substantial costs to us, may be necessary to enforce any of our patents or other proprietary rights, or to determine the scope and validity or
enforceability of other parties' proprietary rights. We may be dependent on third parties, including our licensors, for cooperation and information that may be required in connection with the defense
and prosecution of our patents and other proprietary rights. The defense and prosecution of patent and intellectual property infringement claims are both costly and time consuming, even if the outcome
is favorable to us. Any adverse outcome could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require disputed rights to be licensed from third parties, or require us to cease selling our
future products. We are not currently a party to any patent or other intellectual property infringement claims.

We may explore strategic partnerships that may never materialize or may fail.

We may, in the future, periodically explore a variety of possible strategic partnerships in an effort to gain access to additional
product candidates or resources. At the current time, we cannot predict what form such a strategic partnership might take. We are likely to face significant competition in seeking appropriate
strategic partners, and these strategic partnerships can be complicated and time

26

consuming
to negotiate and document. We may not be able to negotiate strategic partnerships on acceptable terms, or at all. We are unable to predict when, if ever, we will enter into any additional
strategic partnerships because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with establishing strategic partnerships.

If we enter into one or more strategic partnerships, we may be required to relinquish important rights to and control over the development of pralatrexate or otherwise be
subject to unfavorable terms.

Any future strategic partnerships we enter into could subject us to a number of risks, including:

Acceptance of pralatrexate in the marketplace is uncertain, and failure to achieve market acceptance will limit our ability to generate revenue and become profitable.

Even if pralatrexate is approved for marketing, pralatrexate may not achieve market acceptance. The degree of market acceptance will
depend upon a number of factors, including:



Physicians,
patients, payors or the medical community in general may be unwilling to accept, utilize or recommend the use of pralatrexate.

The status of reimbursement from third-party payors for newly approved health care drugs is uncertain and failure to obtain adequate coverage and reimbursement could limit
our ability to generate revenue.

Our ability to successfully commercialize pralatrexate will depend, in part, on the extent to which coverage and reimbursement for
pralatrexate will be available from government and health administration authorities, private health insurers, managed care programs, and other third-party payors.

Significant
uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved health care products. Third-party payors, including Medicare, are challenging the prices charged for
medical products and services. Government and other third-party payors increasingly are attempting to contain health care costs by limiting both coverage and the level of reimbursement for new drugs
and by refusing, in some cases, to provide coverage for uses of approved products for disease conditions for which the FDA has not granted labeling approval. Third-party insurance coverage may not be
available to patients for pralatrexate. If government and other third-party payors do not provide adequate coverage and reimbursement levels for pralatrexate, pralatrexate's market acceptance may be
reduced.

Health care reform measures could adversely affect our business.

The business and financial condition of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are affected by the efforts of governmental and
third-party payors to contain or reduce the costs of health care. In the United States and in foreign jurisdictions there have been, and we expect that there will continue to be, a number of
legislative and regulatory proposals aimed at changing the health care system. For example, in some countries other than the United States, pricing of prescription drugs is subject to government
control, and we expect proposals to implement similar controls in the United States to continue. We are unable to predict what additional legislation or regulation, if any, relating to the health care
industry or third-party coverage and reimbursement may be enacted in the future or what effect such legislation or regulation would have on our business. The pendency or approval of such proposals or
reforms could result in a decrease in our stock price or limit our ability to raise capital or to obtain strategic partnerships or licenses.

We may not obtain orphan drug exclusivity or we may not receive the full benefit of orphan drug exclusivity even if we obtain such exclusivity.

The FDA has awarded orphan drug status to pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with T-cell lymphoma, follicular
lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Under the Orphan Drug Act, if we are the first company to receive FDA approval for pralatrexate for the designated orphan drug indication, we
will obtain seven years of marketing exclusivity during which the FDA may not approve another company's application for pralatrexate for the same orphan indication. Orphan drug exclusivity would not
prevent FDA approval of a different drug for the orphan indication or the same drug for a different indication.

If we fail to comply with healthcare fraud and abuse laws, we could face substantial penalties and our business, operations and financial condition could be adversely
affected.

As a biopharmaceutical company, even though we do not and will not control referrals of health care services or bill directly to
Medicare, Medicaid or other third-party payors, certain federal and state healthcare laws and regulations pertaining to fraud and abuse will be applicable to our business. These laws and regulations,
include, among others:



Although
there are a number of statutory exemptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting certain common activities from prosecution under the federal Anti-Kickback statute,
the exemptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly, and practices that involve remuneration intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not
qualify for an exemption or safe harbor. Our practices may not in all cases meet all of the criteria for safe harbor protection from anti-kickback liability.

If
our operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws described above or any other governmental regulations that apply to us, we may be subject to penalties, including civil
and criminal penalties, damages, fines and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations. Any penalties, damages, fines, curtailment or restructuring of our operations could adversely affect our
ability to

29

---



Table of Contents

operate
our business and our financial results. Although compliance programs can mitigate the risk of investigation and prosecution for violations of these laws, the risks cannot be entirely
eliminated. Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our management's attention from
the operation of our business. Moreover, achieving and sustaining compliance with all applicable federal and state fraud and abuse laws may be costly.

If we are unable to develop adequate sales, marketing or distribution capabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to perform some of these functions, we will
not be able to commercialize pralatrexate effectively.

We have limited experience in sales, marketing and distribution. If it is approved for marketing, we intend to build commercialize
pralatrexate by building an oncology-focused U.S. sales and marketing organization that may be complemented by co-promotion arrangements with pharmaceutical or biotechnology partners,
where appropriate. We intend to enter into co-promotion or out-licensing arrangements with other pharmaceutical or biotechnology partners where necessary to reach foreign
market segments that are not reachable by a U.S.-based sales force or when deemed strategically and economically advisable. To directly market and distribute pralatrexate, we must build a sales and
marketing organization with appropriate technical expertise and distribution capabilities. We may not be able to establish sales, marketing and distribution capabilities of our own or enter into such
arrangements with third parties in a timely manner or on acceptable terms. To the extent that we enter into co-promotion or other licensing arrangements, our product revenues are likely to
be lower than if we directly marketed and sold pralatrexate, and some or all of the revenues we receive will depend upon the efforts of third parties, and these efforts may not be successful.
Additionally, building marketing and distribution capabilities may be more expensive than we anticipate, requiring us to divert capital from other intended purposes or preventing us from building our
marketing and distribution capabilities to the desired levels.

If our competitors develop and market products that are more effective than pralatrexate, our commercial opportunity will be reduced or eliminated.

Even if we obtain the necessary regulatory approvals to market pralatrexate, our commercial opportunity will be reduced or eliminated
if our competitors develop and market products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or are less expensive than pralatrexate.
Our potential competitors include large, fully-integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies, both of which have significant resources and expertise in research and
development, manufacturing, testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing. Academic institutions, government agencies, and other public and private research organizations conduct research,
seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangements for research, development, manufacturing and marketing. It is possible that competitors will succeed in developing technologies that are
more effective than those being developed by us or that would render our technology obsolete or noncompetitive.

If product liability lawsuits are successfully brought against us, we may incur substantial liabilities and may be required to limit commercialization of pralatrexate.

The testing and marketing of pharmaceutical products entail an inherent risk of product liability. Product liability claims might be
brought against us by consumers or health care providers or by pharmaceutical companies or others selling our future products. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against such claims, we may
incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit the commercialization of our pralatrexate. We have obtained limited product liability insurance coverage for our human clinical trials. However,
product liability insurance coverage is becoming increasingly

30

Table of Contents

expensive,
and we may be unable to maintain such insurance coverage at a reasonable cost or in sufficient amounts to protect us against losses due to product liability. A successful product liability
claim in excess of our insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may not be able to obtain commercially reasonable
product liability insurance for pralatrexate, if it is approved for marketing.

We are currently involved in a securities class action litigation, which could harm our business if management attention is diverted or the claims are decided against us.

We were named as a defendant in a purported securities class action lawsuit filed in May 2004 seeking unspecified damages relating to
the issuance of allegedly false and misleading statements regarding EFAPROXYN during the period from May 29, 2003 to April 29, 2004 and subsequent declines in our stock price. In an
opinion dated October 20, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado concluded that the plaintiffs' complaint failed to meet the legal requirements applicable to its alleged
claims and dismissed the lawsuit. On November 20, 2005, the plaintiffs appealed the District Court's decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. On February 6, 2008, the
parties signed a stipulation of settlement, settling the case for $2,000,000. The settlement was subject to various conditions, including without limitation approval of the District Court. On
January 29, 2009, the District Court issued its Order and Final Judgment approving the settlement, including the releases of the defendants for which the settlement provided. Neither we nor our
former
officer, who was also named as a defendant, admitted any liability in connection with the settlement. The amount of the settlement in excess of our deductible was covered by our insurance carrier. In
the event the District Court's approval of the settlement is appealed and the settlement does not become final, we would intend to vigorously defend against the plaintiffs' appeal. If the Court of
Appeals then were to reverse the District Court's decision and we were not successful in our defense against the plaintiffs' claims, we could be forced to make significant payments to the plaintiffs,
and such payments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows to the extent such payments are not covered by our insurance carriers.
Even if our defense against such claims were successful, the litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management's attention and resources, which could adversely affect our business. As
of December 31, 2008, we have recorded $2,000,000 in accrued litigation settlement costs, which represents our best estimate of the potential gross amount of the settlement costs to be paid to
the plaintiffs, and $2,000,000 in prepaid expenses and other assets, which represents the approximately $235,000 of remaining deductible under our insurance policy paid by us and $1,765,000 paid by
our insurance carrier into the settlement fund escrow in September 2008. A claims administrator appointed by the parties will administer the distribution of the settlement fund to authorized claimants
in 2009.

Our success depends on retention of our President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Medical Officer and other key personnel.

We are highly dependent on our President and Chief Executive Officer, Paul L. Berns, our Chief Medical Officer, Pablo J. Cagnoni, M.D.,
and other members of our management team. We are named as the beneficiary on a term life insurance policy covering Mr. Berns in the amount of $10.0 million. We also depend on academic
collaborators for each of our research and development programs. The loss of any of our key employees or academic collaborators could delay our discovery research program and the development and
commercialization of pralatrexate or result in termination of our pralatrexate development program in its entirety. Mr. Berns and Dr. Cagnoni, as well as others on our executive
management team, have employment agreements with us, but the agreements provide for "at-will" employment with no specified term. Our future success also will depend in large part on our
continued ability to attract and retain other highly qualified scientific, technical and management personnel, as well as personnel with expertise in clinical testing, governmental regulation and
commercialization of pharmaceutical products. We face competition for personnel from other companies, universities, public and private research institutions, government entities and other
organizations. If we are unsuccessful in our recruitment and retention efforts, our business will be harmed.

We
also rely on consultants, collaborators and advisors to assist us in formulating and conducting our research. All of our consultants, collaborators and advisors are employed by other
employers or are
self-employed and may have commitments to or consulting contracts with other entities that may limit their ability to contribute to the Company.

We cannot guarantee that we will be in compliance with all potentially applicable regulations.

The development, manufacturing, and, if approved, pricing, marketing, sale and reimbursement of pralatrexate, together with our general
operations, are subject to extensive regulation by federal, state and other authorities within the United States and numerous entities outside of the United States. We have fewer employees than many
other companies that have one or more product candidates in late stage clinical development and we rely heavily on third parties to conduct many important functions.

As
a publicly-traded company, we are subject to significant regulations including the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. We cannot assure you that we are or will be in compliance with all
potentially applicable regulations. If we fail to comply with the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 or any other regulations we could be subject to a range of consequences, including restrictions on our
ability to sell equity securities or otherwise raise capital funds, the de-listing of our common stock from the Nasdaq Global Market, suspension or termination of our clinical trials,
failure to obtain approval to market pralatrexate, restrictions on future products or our manufacturing processes, significant fines, or other sanctions or litigation.

If our internal controls over financial reporting are not considered effective, our business and stock price could be adversely affected.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial
reporting as of the end of each fiscal year, and to include a management report assessing the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting in this annual report on
Form 10-K for that fiscal year. Section 404 also requires our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, and report on, management's assessment of our
internal controls over financial reporting.

Our
management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all
fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Further, the design of a
control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control
systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud involving a company have been, or will be, detected. The design of any system of
controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and we cannot assure you that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions. Over time, controls may become ineffective because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in
a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We cannot assure you that we or our independent registered public accounting firm will
not identify a material weakness in our internal controls in the future. A material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting would require management and our independent registered
public accounting firm to consider our internal controls as ineffective. If our internal controls over financial reporting are not considered effective, we may experience a loss of public confidence,
which could have an adverse effect on our business and on the market price of our common stock.

If we do not progress in our programs as anticipated, our stock price could decrease.

For planning purposes, we estimate the timing of a variety of clinical, regulatory and other milestones, such as when a certain product
candidate will enter clinical development, when a clinical trial will be initiated or completed, or when an application for regulatory approval will be filed. Some of our estimates are included in
this report. Our estimates are based on information available to us as of the date of this report and a variety of assumptions. Many of the underlying assumptions are outside of our control. If
milestones are not achieved when we estimated that they would be, investors could be disappointed, and our stock price may decrease.

Warburg Pincus Private Equity VIII, L.P. and Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P. each control a substantial percentage of the voting power of our outstanding
common stock.

On March 2, 2005, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Warburg Pincus Private Equity VIII, L.P., or
Warburg, and certain other investors pursuant to which we issued and sold an aggregate of 2,352,443 shares of our Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock, or the Exchangeable Preferred, at a
price per share of $22.10, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $52.0 million. On May 18, 2005, at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders voted to
approve the issuance of shares of our common stock upon exchange of shares of the Exchangeable Preferred. As a result of such approval, we issued a total of 23,524,430 shares of common stock upon
exchange of 2,352,443 shares of Exchangeable Preferred. In connection with its purchase of the Exchangeable Preferred, Warburg entered into a standstill agreement agreeing not to pursue certain
activities the purpose or effect of which may be to change or influence the control of the Company.

On
February 2, 2007, we closed an underwritten offering of 9,000,000 shares of common stock, of which Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P. and certain other affiliated funds,
which are collectively referred to hereinafter as "Baker," purchased 3,300,000 shares, at a price per share of $6.00, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $54.0 million. In connection
therewith, Baker entered into a standstill agreement agreeing not to pursue certain activities the purpose or effect of which may be to change or influence the control of the Company.

On
May 29, 2008, we sold 12,420,000 shares of our common stock in an underwritten public offering at a price of $5.64 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately
$70.0 million. Warburg and Baker purchased 3,500,000 and 1,500,000 shares, respectively, of the 12,420,000 shares sold in such public offering.

As
of December 31, 2008, we had 81,238,812 shares of common stock outstanding, of which Warburg owned 26,124,430 shares, or approximately 32.2% of the voting power of our
outstanding common stock, and Baker owned 11,248,621 shares, or approximately 13.8% of the voting power of our outstanding common stock. Although each of Warburg and Baker have entered into a
standstill agreement with us, they are, and will continue to be, able to exercise substantial influence over any actions requiring stockholder approval. According to filings with the SEC, as of
February 6, 2009, Baker owns less than 10% of our outstanding common stock.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could discourage, delay or prevent an acquisition of us, even if an acquisition would be
beneficial to our stockholders, and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.

Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could make it
more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders. In addition, these provisions may make it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our
board of directors. Because our board of directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions could in turn affect

33

Table of Contents

any
attempt by our stockholders to replace current members of our management team. These provisions include:



In
addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad range of
business combinations with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date on which the stockholder became an interested stockholder. This provision could have the effect of
delaying or preventing a change of control, whether or not it is desired by or beneficial to our stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the three year moratorium imposed on business combinations
by Section 203 will not apply to either Warburg or Baker because, prior to the dates on which they became interested stockholders, our board of directors approved the transactions that resulted
in Warburg and Baker becoming interested stockholders. However, in connection with its purchase of Exchangeable Preferred in March 2005, Warburg entered into a standstill agreement agreeing not to
pursue certain activities the purpose or effect of which may be to change or influence the control of the Company. Similarly, in connection with our February 2007 Financing, Baker entered into a
standstill agreement agreeing not to pursue certain activities the purpose or effect of which may be to change or influence the control of the Company.

We have adopted a stockholder rights plan that may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that is beneficial to our stockholders.

In May 2003, our board of directors adopted a stockholder rights plan that may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing
a merger or acquisition of us that our stockholders may consider beneficial by diluting the ability of a potential acquirer to acquire us. Pursuant to the terms of the stockholder rights plan, when a
person or group, except under certain circumstances, acquires 15% or more of our outstanding common stock or 10 business days after announcement of a tender or exchange offer for 15% or more of our
outstanding common stock, the rights (except those rights held by the person or group who has acquired or announced an offer to acquire 15% or more of our outstanding common stock) would generally
become exercisable for shares of our common stock at a discount. Because the potential acquirer's rights would not become exercisable for our shares of common stock at a discount, the potential
acquirer would suffer substantial dilution and may lose its ability to acquire us. In addition, the existence of the plan itself may deter a potential acquirer from acquiring or making an offer to
acquire us. As a result, either by operation of the plan or by its potential deterrent effect, mergers and acquisitions of the Company that our stockholders may consider in their best interests may
not occur.

Because
Warburg owns a substantial percentage of our outstanding common stock, we amended the stockholder rights plan in connection with Warburg's purchase of Exchangeable Preferred in
March 2005 to provide that Warburg and its affiliates will be exempt from the stockholder rights plan, unless Warburg and its affiliates become, without the prior consent of our board of directors,
the beneficial

34

Table of Contents

owner
of more than 44% of our common stock. Likewise, since Baker owns a substantial percentage of our outstanding common stock, we amended the stockholder rights plan in connection with our February
2007 Financing to provide that Baker and its affiliates will be exempt from the stockholder rights plan, unless Baker becomes, without the prior consent of our board of directors, the beneficial owner
of more than 20% of our common stock. Under the stockholder rights plan, our board of directors has express authority to amend the rights plan without stockholder approval.

Unstable market conditions may have serious adverse consequences on our business.

The recent economic downturn and market instability has made the business climate more volatile and more costly. Our general business
strategy may be adversely affected by unpredictable and unstable market conditions. If the current equity and credit markets deteriorate further, or do not improve, it may make any necessary equity or
debt financing more difficult, more costly, and more dilutive. While we believe we have adequate capital resources to meet our expected working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at
least the next 12 months, a radical economic downturn or increase in our expenses could require additional financing on less than attractive rates or on terms that are excessively dilutive to
existing stockholders. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy, financial performance and stock
price and could require us to delay or abandon clinical development plans. There is a risk that one or more of our current service providers, manufacturers or other partners may encounter difficulties
during challenging economic times, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our liquidity, capital resources and results of operations may be adversely affected by declines in the value of our investments in marketable securities.

As of December 31, 2008, we had $84.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketable securities. Until
required for use in our business, we invest our cash reserves in bank deposits, money market funds, high-grade corporate notes and U.S. government instruments in accordance with our
investment policy. The weighted average duration of the remaining time to maturity for our portfolio of investments in marketable securities as of December 31, 2008 was approximately five
months. Our investments in marketable securities as of December 31, 2008 primarily consisted of high-grade corporate notes. We did not hold any derivative instruments, foreign
exchange contracts, asset backed securities, mortgage backed
securities, auction rate securities, or securities of issuers in bankruptcy in our investment portfolio as of December 31, 2008.

Based
upon the current status of our product development and commercialization plans, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketable securities as of
December 31, 2008 should be adequate to support our operations through at least the next 12 months, although there can be no assurance that this can, in fact, be accomplished. In
particular, our liquidity, capital resources and results of operations may be adversely affected by declines in the value of our investments in marketable securities. The value of our investments in
marketable securities may be adversely affected by rating downgrades or bankruptcies affecting the issuers of such securities, whether caused by instability in the global financial markets, lack of
liquidity in the credit and capital markets, or other factors. For example, during the three months ended September 30, 2008, we realized a loss of approximately $552,000 on the sale of certain
of our investments in marketable securities, which were sold in order to preserve our principal as the issuers of these securities experienced significant deteriorations in their creditworthiness as
evidenced by investment rating downgrades. We have the ability and intent to hold our remaining investments in marketable securities as of December 31, 2008 to their scheduled maturity,
although we monitor our investment portfolio with the primary objectives of preserving principal and maintaining proper liquidity to meet our operating needs.

The market price for our common stock has been and may continue to be highly volatile, and an active trading market for our common stock may never exist.

We cannot assure you that an active trading market for our common stock will exist at any time. Holders of our common stock may not be
able to sell shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our common stock is not active. The trading price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile and
could be subject to wide fluctuations in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:



Public
companies in general and companies included on the Nasdaq Global Market in particular have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or
disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. There has been particular volatility in the market prices of securities of biotechnology and other life sciences companies, and the
market prices of these companies have often fluctuated because of problems or successes in a given market segment or because investor interest has shifted to other segments. These broad market and
industry factors may cause the market price of our common stock to decline, regardless of our operating performance. We have no control over this volatility and can only focus our efforts on our own
operations, and even these may be affected due to the state of the capital markets. In the past, following large price declines in the public market price of a company's securities, securities class
action litigation has often been initiated against that company, including in 2004 against us. Litigation of this type could result in substantial costs and diversion of management's attention and
resources, which would hurt our business. Any adverse determination in litigation could also subject us to significant liabilities.

Substantial sales of shares may impact the market price of our common stock.

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock, the market price of our common stock may decline. These sales also
might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we consider appropriate. We are unable to predict the effect that sales may have
on the then prevailing market price of our common stock. We have entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Warburg and the other purchasers of our Exchangeable Preferred pursuant to which such
investors are entitled to certain registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock that we issued upon exchange of the Exchangeable Preferred.

In
addition, we will need to raise substantial additional capital in the future to fund our operations. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the market price of our
common stock may decline and our existing stockholders may experience significant dilution.

ITEM 1B.    UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

Not Applicable.

ITEM 2.    PROPERTIES

Our corporate headquarters facility consists of approximately 34,536 square feet in Westminster, Colorado. We lease our corporate
headquarters facility pursuant to a lease agreement that expires on January 31, 2012. We also lease an office in Princeton, New Jersey which consists of approximately 9,458 square feet. The
lease for this office expires on September 30, 2011. We believe that our leased facilities are adequate to meet our needs until such time, if any, as we receive regulatory approval to market
pralatrexate.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We were named as a defendant in a purported securities class action lawsuit filed in May 2004 seeking unspecified damages relating to
the issuance of allegedly false and misleading statements regarding EFAPROXYN during the period from May 29, 2003 to April 29, 2004 and subsequent declines in our stock price. In an
opinion dated October 20, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado concluded that the plaintiffs' complaint failed to meet the legal requirements applicable to its alleged
claims and dismissed the lawsuit. On November 20, 2005, the plaintiffs appealed the District Court's decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. On February 6, 2008, the
parties signed a stipulation of settlement, settling the case for $2,000,000. The settlement was subject to various conditions, including without limitation approval of the District Court. On
January 29, 2009, the District Court issued its Order and Final Judgment approving the settlement, including the releases of the defendants for which the settlement provided. Neither we nor our
former officer, who was also named as a defendant, admitted any liability in connection with the settlement. The amount of the settlement in excess of our deductible was covered by our insurance
carrier. In the event the District Court's approval of the settlement is appealed and the settlement does not become final, we would intend to vigorously defend against the plaintiffs' appeal. If the
Court of Appeals then were to reverse the District Court's decision and we were not successful in our defense against the plaintiffs' claims, we could be forced to make significant payments to the
plaintiffs, and such payments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows to the extent such payments are not covered by our
insurance carriers. Even if our defense against such claims were successful, the litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management's attention and resources, which could adversely
affect our business. As of December 31, 2008, we have recorded $2,000,000 in accrued litigation settlement costs, which represents our best estimate of the potential gross amount of the
settlement costs to be paid to the plaintiffs, and $2,000,000 in prepaid expenses and other assets, which represents the approximately $235,000 of

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative small molecule drugs for the treatment of
cancer. Our goal is to build a profitable company by generating income from products we develop and commercialize, either alone or with one or more potential strategic partners. We strive to develop
proprietary products that have the potential to improve the standard of care in cancer therapy. Our focus is on product opportunities for oncology that leverage our internal clinical development and
regulatory expertise and address important markets with unmet medical need. We may also seek to grow our existing portfolio of product candidates through product acquisition and
in-licensing efforts.

We
currently have two small molecule chemotherapeutic product candidates in clinical development, pralatrexate (PDX) and RH1.

Pralatrexate

Our lead product candidate, pralatrexate, is a novel targeted antifolate designed to accumulate preferentially in cancer cells. Based
on preclinical studies, we believe that pralatrexate selectively enters cells expressing RFC-1, a protein that is over expressed on cancer cells compared to normal cells. Once inside
cancer cells, pralatrexate is efficiently polyglutamylated, which leads to high intracellular drug retention. Polyglutamylated pralatrexate essentially becomes "trapped" inside cancer cells, making it
less susceptible to efflux-based drug resistance. Acting on the folate pathway, pralatrexate interferes with DNA synthesis and triggers cancer cell death. We believe pralatrexate has the potential to
be delivered as a single agent or in combination therapy regimens.

In
February 2009, we announced the final results from PROPEL, our pivotal Phase 2 trial of pralatrexate in patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell
lymphoma, or PTCL. The trial enrolled a total of 115 patients, 109 of whom were considered evaluable for response according to the trial protocol. The results of the trial demonstrated that 29 of 109
evaluable patients, or 27%, achieved a response as assessed by central independent oncology review, which is the primary endpoint of the trial. The Kaplan-Meier estimate for the median duration of
response was 287 days, or 9.4 months. Duration of response is the key secondary endpoint of the trial. The most common grade 3/4 adverse events were thrombocytopenia,
which was observed in 32% of patients; mucosal inflammation in 21% of patients; neutropenia in 20% of patients; and anemia in 17% of patients.

Based
on the results of this trial, we intend to submit a New Drug Application, or NDA, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for pralatrexate for the treatment of patients
with relapsed or refractory PTCL in the first half of 2009. If it is approved for marketing, we intend to commercialize pralatrexate by building an oncology focused U.S. sales and marketing
organization that may be complemented by co-promotion arrangements with pharmaceutical or biotechnology partners, where appropriate. We intend to enter into co-promotion or
out-licensing arrangements with other pharmaceutical or biotechnology partners, where necessary to reach foreign market segments that are not reachable by a U.S.-based sales force or when
deemed strategically and economically advisable. We currently retain exclusive worldwide commercial rights to pralatrexate for all indications.

The
PROPEL trial was conducted under an agreement reached with the FDA under its special protocol assessment, or SPA, process. The SPA process allows for FDA evaluation of a clinical
trial protocol intended to form the primary basis of an efficacy claim in support of a NDA, and provides an agreement that the trial design, including trial size, clinical endpoints and data analyses
are acceptable to the FDA. However, the SPA agreement is not a guarantee of approval, and we cannot assure you that the design of, or data collected from, the PROPEL trial will be adequate to
demonstrate the safety

42

Table of Contents

and
efficacy of pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL, or otherwise be sufficient to support FDA or any foreign regulatory approval. For example, the response
rate, duration of response and safety profile required to support FDA approval are not specified in the PROPEL trial protocol and will be subject to FDA review. In addition, the median duration of
response reported above is a Kaplan-Meier estimate based on the length of follow up for all responders at the time the PROPEL trial database was locked. As a result, the median duration of response
may change based on continued patient follow up.

In
addition to the PROPEL trial, we are committed to evaluating pralatrexate for oncology use as a single agent and in combination with other therapies. We currently have seven ongoing
clinical trials involving pralatrexate, including the PROPEL trial, and plan to initiate additional trials to evaluate pralatrexate's potential clinical utility in other hematologic malignancies and
solid tumor indications. The following clinical trials involving pralatrexate are currently open for enrollment:



In
addition to our ongoing NSCLC and bladder cancer studies, we are evaluating the potential future development of pralatrexate for other solid tumor indications, including
Stage III/IV head and neck cancer and Stage III/IV breast cancer, among others. There can be no assurances that we will pursue the development of pralatrexate for one or more of these
indications or that such development efforts will be ultimately successful.

RH1

RH1 is a small molecule chemotherapeutic agent that we believe is bioactivated by the enzyme DT-diaphorase, or DTD, also
known as NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase, or NQ01. We believe DTD

43

---



Table of Contents

is
over-expressed in many tumors, relative to normal tissue, including lung, colon, breast and liver tumors. We believe that because RH1 is bioactivated in the presence of DTD, it may have
the potential to provide targeted drug delivery to these tumor types while limiting the amount of toxicity to normal tissue.

In
November 2007, we initiated patient enrollment in a Phase 1, open-label, multi-center dose escalation study of RH1 in patients with advanced solid tumors or NHL. We
are in the process of closing this study and determining our future development plans, if any, for RH1.

EFAPROXYN (efaproxiral) Development Discontinued

In mid-2007, we discontinued the development of EFAPROXYN, one of our former product candidates, after announcing
top-line results from ENRICH, a Phase 3 clinical trial of EFAPROXYN plus whole brain radiation therapy, or WBRT, in women with brain metastases originating from breast cancer. The
study failed to achieve its primary endpoint of demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in overall survival in patients receiving EFAPROXYN plus WBRT, compared to patients receiving WBRT
alone. We are currently pursuing the sale of our rights to EFAPROXYN although we may not receive any material consideration for any sale.

Results of Operations

We are a development stage company. Since our inception in 1992, we have not generated any revenue from product sales and have
experienced significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations. We have incurred these losses principally from costs incurred in our research and development programs, clinical
manufacturing and from our marketing, general and
administrative expenses. Our primary business activities have been focused on the development of pralatrexate, RH1 (a program for which we are in the process of determining our future development
plans, if any) and EFAPROXYN (a program which we discontinued in mid-2007). For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, we had net losses attributable to common
stockholders of $51.7 million, $39.4 million, and $30.2 million, respectively. Research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were
$23.8 million, $17.4 million and $14.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, we had accumulated a deficit during our development stage of $299.7 million.

Our
ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability is dependent on our ability, alone or with partners, to successfully complete the development of pralatrexate, conduct clinical
trials, obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, and manufacture and market pralatrexate. The timing and costs to complete the successful development pralatrexate is highly uncertain, and therefore
difficult to estimate. The lengthy process of seeking regulatory approvals for pralatrexate, and the subsequent compliance with applicable regulations, require the expenditure of substantial
resources. For a more complete discussion of the regulatory approval process, please refer to the "Government Regulation" section of Part I, Item 1above. Clinical development timelines,
likelihood of success and total costs vary widely and are impacted by a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in the "Risk Factors" section of Part I, Item 1A
above. Because of these risks and uncertainties, we cannot predict when or whether we will successfully complete the development of pralatrexate or the ultimate costs of such efforts. Due to these
same factors, we cannot be certain when, or if, we will generate any revenue or net cash inflow from any of our current product candidates.

Even
if our clinical trials demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of pralatrexate in its target indications, we do not expect to be able to generate commercial sales of pralatrexate
until the second half of 2009, at the earliest. We expect to continue incurring net losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future. Although the size and timing of our future net losses are
subject to significant uncertainty, we expect them to increase over the next several years as we continue to fund our research and development programs, prepare for the potential commercial launch of
pralatrexate, and

commercialize
pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL, if it is approved for marketing.

We
anticipate continuing our current development programs and/or beginning other long-term development projects involving pralatrexate. These projects may require many years
and substantial expenditures to complete and may ultimately be unsuccessful. In addition, we intend to submit an NDA for pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL in
the first half of 2009. We expect to incur significant costs relating to preparations for the potential commercial launch of pralatrexate, including pre-commercial scale up of
manufacturing and development of sales and marketing capabilities. Therefore, we will need to raise additional capital to support our future operations, including the potential commercialization of
pralatrexate if approved for marketing. Our actual capital requirements will depend on many factors, including those discussed under the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section below.

We
may seek to obtain this additional capital through equity or debt financings, arrangements with corporate partners, or from other sources. Such financings or arrangements, if
successfully consummated, may be dilutive to our existing stockholders. However, there is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed, or that, if available, we will obtain
such financing on terms that are favorable to our stockholders or us. In particular, the current instability in the global financial markets and lack of liquidity in the credit and capital markets may
adversely affect our ability to secure adequate capital to support our future operations. In the event that additional funds are obtained through arrangements with collaborative partners or other
sources, such arrangements may require us to relinquish rights to some of our technologies, product candidates or products under development, which we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize
ourselves on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available. If we are unable to generate meaningful amounts of revenue from future product sales, if any, or cannot otherwise raise
sufficient additional funds to support our operations, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our development programs and our business and future prospects for
revenue and profitability may be harmed.

We
charge direct internal and external research and development expenses to the respective development programs. Since our inception through December 31, 2008, we have incurred
direct costs of approximately $26.8 million and $1.1 million associated with research and development expenses for pralatrexate and RH1 (a program for which we are in the process of
determining our future development plans, if any), respectively, and approximately $45.0 million associated with research and development programs that have been discontinued, including the
EFAPROXYN program that was discontinued in mid-2007. We also incur indirect costs that are not allocated to specific programs because such costs benefit multiple development programs.
These consist primarily of salaries and benefits, facilities costs and other internal-shared resources related to the development and maintenance of systems and processes applicable to all of our
programs. Unallocated costs since our inception through December 31, 2008 represent approximately $76.3 million of research and development expenses.

Of
the $8.0 million of stock-based compensation recognized in the year ended December 31, 2008, $7.5 million was related to our stock option plans, $423,000 related
to restricted stock and $59,000 related to our employee stock purchase plan. Of the $6.7 million of stock-based compensation recognized in the year ended December 31, 2007,
$5.9 million was related to our stock option plans, $690,000 related to restricted stock and $61,000 related to our employee stock purchase plan. The $1.4 million increase in stock-based
compensation expense in 2008 as compared to 2007 was primarily due to the additional stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2008. The $3.1 million increase in
stock-based compensation expense in 2007 as compared to 2006 was primarily due to a higher fair-value for options granted in 2007 compared to options granted in 2006 due to our stock price
being higher during the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2006.

As
of December 31, 2008, the unrecorded stock-based compensation balance related to stock option awards was $7.3 million and will be recognized over an estimated
weighted-average amortization period of 1.4 years. As of December 31, 2008, the unrecorded stock-based compensation balance related to restricted stock awards was approximately $329,000
and will be recognized over an estimated weighted-average amortization period of 1.3 years.

Restructuring and Separation Costs.We recorded $0, $0 and $646,000 in restructuring and separation costs during the years ended
December 31,
2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

In
January 2006, Michael E. Hart notified our Board of Directors of his intent to resign from his positions as President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the
Company once a successor Chief Executive Officer was appointed. On March 3, 2006, we entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Hart to provide certain incentives for his continued
employment with the Company while we conducted our search for his successor. On March 9, 2006, we appointed Paul L. Berns as our President, Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of
Directors and Mr. Hart resigned from his positions in accordance with the terms of the separation agreement. The separation agreement with Mr. Hart was amended on March 9, 2006,
and on May 10, 2006. We recorded separation costs of
$646,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006 relating to our estimate of our total obligations under the Separation Agreement with Mr. Hart. During the years ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, we made payments to Mr. Hart under the Separation Agreement of $321,000 and $325,000. As of December 31, 2007, there was no remaining
liability relating to the Separation Agreement with Mr. Hart.

Interest and Other Income, Net.Interest income, net of interest expense, for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was
$1.9 million, $3.3 million, and $1.9 million, respectively. The $1.4 million decrease in 2008 as compared to 2007 was primarily due to lower yields on our cash, cash
equivalents and investments in marketable securities, and a realized loss of approximately $552,000 on the sale of certain of our investments in marketable securities during the three months ended
September 30, 2008. In response to the instability in the global financial markets, we reviewed our investments in marketable securities and sold certain investments during the three months
ended

49

Table of Contents

September 30,
2008 prior to their maturity in order to preserve our principal, as the issuers of these securities experienced significant deteriorations in their creditworthiness as evidenced
by investment rating downgrades. We have the ability and intent to hold our remaining investments in marketable securities as of December 31, 2008 to their scheduled maturity, although we
monitor our investment portfolio with the primary objectives of preserving principal and maintaining proper liquidity to meet our operating needs. The $1.4 million increase in interest income
in 2007 as compared to 2006 primarily resulted from higher average investment balances resulting from our February 2007 financing and higher yields on U.S. government securities,
high-grade commercial paper and corporate notes, and money market funds.

Income Taxes.As of December 31, 2008, we had available approximately $174.8 million of net operating loss, or NOL,
carryforwards,
after taking into consideration NOLs expected to expire unused due to the limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, and which includes approximately $5.2 million of
deductions related to stock-based compensation that are not realized as deferred tax assets until current taxes payable can be reduced. These NOL carryforwards will expire beginning in 2009. In
addition, we had research and development credit and orphan drug credit carryforwards, after taking into consideration the Section 382 limitation, of $3.5 million and
$5.6 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2008, to offset future regular and alternative tax expense. Since our formation, we have raised capital through the issuance of capital
stock on several occasions which, combined with shareholders' subsequent disposition of those shares, has resulted in four changes of control in 1994, 1998, 2001 and 2005, as defined by
Section 382. In general, an ownership change, as defined by Section 382, results from transactions increasing the ownership of certain shareholders or public groups in the stock of a
corporation by more than 50% within a three-year period. As a result of the most recent ownership change in 2005, utilization of our NOLs generated prior to the latest change are subject
to an annual limitation under Section 382 determined by multiplying the value of our stock at the time of the ownership change in control by the applicable long-term
tax-exempt rate resulting in an annual limitation amount of approximately $2.2 million. Any unused annual limitation may be carried over to later years, and the amount of the
limitation may,
under certain circumstances, be subject to adjustment if the fair value of the Company's net assets are determined to be below or in excess of the tax basis of such assets at the time of the ownership
change, and such unrealized loss or gain is recognized during the five-year period after the ownership change. Subsequent ownership changes, as defined in Section 382, could further
limit the amount of our NOLs and research and development credits that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through public and private sales of our equity securities, which have
resulted in net proceeds to us of $328.5 million through December 31, 2008. We have also generated $23.5 million of net interest income since our inception from investing the net
proceeds of these financings.

As
of December 31, 2008, we had $84.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketable securities. Until required for use in our business, we invest our
cash reserves in bank deposits, money market funds, high-grade corporate notes and U.S. government instruments in accordance with our investment policy. The weighted average duration of
the remaining time to maturity for our portfolio of investments in marketable securities as of December 31, 2008 was approximately five months. Our investments in marketable securities as of
December 31, 2008 primarily consisted of high-grade corporate notes. We did not hold any derivative instruments, foreign exchange contracts, asset backed securities, mortgage backed
securities, auction rate securities, or securities of issuers in bankruptcy in our investment portfolio as of December 31, 2008. Our liquidity, capital resources and results of operations may
be adversely affected by future declines in the value of our investments in marketable securities. The value of our investments in marketable securities may be

Table of Contents

adversely
affected by rating downgrades or bankruptcies affecting the issuers of such securities, whether caused by instability in the global financial markets, lack of liquidity in the credit and
capital markets, or other factors. We have the ability and intent to hold our remaining investments in marketable securities as of December 31, 2008 to their scheduled maturity, although we
monitor our investment portfolio with the primary objectives of preserving principal and maintaining proper liquidity to meet our operating needs.

We
have used $238.4 million of cash for operating activities from our inception through December 31, 2008. Net cash used to fund our operating activities for the years
ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $42.9 million, $30.8 million and $25.1 million, respectively.

For
fiscal year 2009, we anticipate that net cash use in operating activities will approximate $50 to $54 million. Though not inclusive of all costs associated with the potential
future launch of pralatrexate, this guidance includes the phase-in of certain key investments related to commercial planning and pre-commercial scale-up of
manufacturing for pralatrexate, as well as $1.5 million and $5.3 million of potential milestone payments under our license agreement for pralatrexate payable upon FDA acceptance of our
NDA for review and FDA approval to market pralatrexate, respectively.

Net
cash used in investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $13.2 million and $19.1 million, respectively, and consisted primarily of
purchases of investments in marketable securities, partially offset by the proceeds from maturities of investments in marketable securities. Net cash provided by investing activities for the year
ended December 31, 2006 was $28.1 million and consisted primarily of proceeds from the maturities of investments in marketable securities, partially offset by the purchase of investments
in marketable securities.

Net
cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $70.6 million and consisted primarily of the net proceeds from the sale of 12,420,000
shares of our common stock in May 2008 in an underwritten public offering at a price of $5.64 per share, or the May 2008 Financing, and $5.4 million of proceeds from the issuance of common
stock associated with stock options exercised by our employees and sales of stock under our employee stock purchase plan. We received net proceeds from the May 2008 Financing of approximately
$65.2 million, after deducting $4.2 million of underwriting commissions and $661,000 of offering expenses. The shares of common stock were sold under our shelf Registration Statement on
Form S-3, declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on June 5, 2007. Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended
December 31, 2007 was $55.7 million and resulted primarily from the sale of 9,000,000 shares of common stock in February 2007 in an underwritten offering at a price of $6.00 per share,
or the February 2007 Financing, $5.5 million of proceeds associated with the exercise of common stock options, common stock warrants and sales of stock under our employee stock purchase plan,
and the release of $183,000 of restricted cash in connection with a reduction of the letter of credit required pursuant to the lease for our corporate headquarters facility. We received net proceeds
from the February 2007 Financing of approximately $50.3 million, after deducting underwriting commissions of approximately $3.2 million and other offering expenses of approximately
$503,000. The shares of common stock were sold under our shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3, declared effective by the SEC on July 10, 2006. Net cash provided by
financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $3.1 million and resulted primarily from proceeds associated with the exercise of common stock options, common stock
warrants and sales of stock under our employee stock purchase plan, and the release of $183,000 of restricted cash in connection with a reduction of the letter of credit required pursuant to the lease
for our corporate headquarters facility.

On
June 5, 2007, our universal shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 was declared effective by the SEC. Under this registration statement, we are allowed to
sell, from time to time, up to $150 million of our common stock, preferred stock, depository shares, debt securities and/or warrants, either individually or in units, in one or more offerings.
As of December 31, 2008, we have

51

Table of Contents

approximately
$80 million available for issuance under this Registration Statement. We are not required to offer the securities in the future pursuant to the registration statement. The terms
of any offering under the registration statement will be established at the time of the offering. Proceeds from the sale of any securities will be used for the purposes described in a prospectus
supplement filed at the time of an offering.

Based
upon the current status of our product development and commercialization plans, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketable securities as of
December 31, 2008 should be adequate to support our operations through at least the next 12 months, although there can be no assurance that this can, in fact, be accomplished. Our
forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results
could vary materially.

We
anticipate continuing our current development programs and/or beginning other long-term development projects involving pralatrexate. These projects may require many years
and substantial expenditures to complete and may ultimately be unsuccessful. In addition, we intend to submit an NDA for pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL in
the first half of 2009. We expect to incur significant costs relating to preparations for the potential commercial launch of pralatrexate, including pre-commercial scale up of
manufacturing and development of sales and marketing capabilities. Therefore, we will need to raise additional capital to support our future operations. Our actual capital requirements will depend on
many factors, including:



We
may seek to obtain this additional capital through equity or debt financings, arrangements with corporate partners, or from other sources. Such financings or arrangements, if
successfully consummated, may be dilutive to our existing stockholders. However, there is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed, or that, if available, we will obtain
such financing on terms that are favorable to our stockholders or us. In particular, the current instability in the global financial markets and lack of liquidity in the credit and capital markets may
adversely affect our ability to secure adequate capital to support our future operations. In the event that additional funds are obtained through arrangements with collaborative partners or other
sources, such arrangements may require us to relinquish rights to some of our technologies, product candidates or products under development, which we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize
ourselves on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available. If we are unable to generate meaningful amounts of revenue from future product sales, if any, or cannot otherwise raise
sufficient additional funds to support our operations, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our development programs and our business and future prospects for
revenue and profitability may be harmed.

lease obligations represent our future minimum rental commitments for non-cancelable operating leases for our facilities. We lease our corporate headquarters
facility pursuant to a lease agreement that expires on January 31, 2012. Our lease for an office in Princeton, New Jersey expires on September 30, 2011.

License
agreement obligations represent future milestone payments that could be made under our license agreement for pralatrexate. We will make a milestone payment of $500,000 upon the
earlier of achievement of a clinical development milestone or the passage of certain time periods, such earlier occurrence, the "Clinical Milestone." The last scheduled payment of $500,000 under the
Clinical Milestone is due December 23, 2009. We intend to submit an NDA for pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL in the first half of 2009. If the FDA
accepts our NDA for review and if we obtain FDA approval to market pralatrexate, we will be obligated to make milestone payments of $1,500,000 and $5,300,000, respectively, under the license agreement
for pralatrexate.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, available information and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following policies to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial
condition and results of operations because they require us to make estimates, assumptions and informed management judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain:



Research and Development.Research and development expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses
include the
costs of certain personnel, basic research, preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory affairs, biostatistical data analysis and licensing fees for our product candidates. Clinical trial costs
represent internal costs from personnel, external costs incurred at clinical sites and contracted costs incurred by third party clinical research organizations to perform certain clinical trials.

We
record upfront fees and milestone payments made under our licensing agreements for our product candidates as research and development expense as the services are performed.

53

---



Table of Contents

We
accrue research and development expenses for activity as incurred during the fiscal year and prior to receiving invoices from clinical sites and third party clinical and preclinical
research organizations. We accrue external costs for clinical and preclinical studies based on an evaluation of the following: the progress of the studies, including patient enrollment, dosing levels
of patients enrolled, estimated costs to dose patients, invoices received, and contracted costs with clinical sites and third party clinical and preclinical research organizations. Significant
judgments and estimates must be made and used in determining the accrued balance in any accounting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. During the years ended December 31,
2008, 2007, and 2006, we did not have any changes in estimates that would have resulted in material adjustments to research and development expenses accrued in the prior period. However, during the
quarter ended December 31, 2006, we did change our estimate relating to certain costs for our Phase 3 ENRICH trial for EFAPROXYN as a result of new information, which resulted in a
reduction of research and development expenses of approximately $400,000 and a corresponding decrease in accrued research and development expenses as of December 31, 2006.

In
accordance with certain research and development agreements, we are obligated to make certain upfront payments upon execution of the agreement. We record these upfront payments as
prepaid research and development expenses. Such payments are recorded to research and development expense as services are performed. We evaluate on a quarterly basis whether events and circumstances
have occurred that may indicate impairment of remaining prepaid research and development expenses.

Clinical Manufacturing.Clinical manufacturing expenses include the costs of certain personnel, third party manufacturing costs for
development of
drug materials for use in clinical trials and preclinical studies, and costs associated with pre-commercial scale-up of manufacturing to support anticipated regulatory and
potential commercial requirements. Our finished drug inventory is expensed to clinical manufacturing since we are still a development stage company and we have not received regulatory approval to
market our product candidates. If and when we receive regulatory approval, we will be required to capitalize any future manufacturing costs for our marketed products at the lower of cost or market and
then expense the sold inventory as a component of cost of goods sold.

Cash Equivalents and Investments in Marketable Securities.All highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying values of our cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities approximate their market values based on
quoted market prices. We account for investments in marketable securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities. Investments in marketable securities are classified as held to maturity and are carried at cost plus accrued interest. Our cash and cash equivalents are maintained
in a financial institution in amounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. We realized a loss of approximately $552,000 on the sale of certain of our investments in marketable
securities during the year ended December 31, 2008. In response to the recent instability in the global financial markets, we reviewed our investments in marketable securities and sold certain
investments prior to their maturity in order to preserve our principal, as the issuers of these securities experienced significant deteriorations in their creditworthiness as evidenced by investment
rating downgrades. We have the ability and intent to hold our remaining investments in marketable securities as of December 31, 2008 to their scheduled maturity, although we monitor our
investment portfolio with the primary objectives of preserving principal and maintaining proper liquidity to meet our operating needs. The weighted average duration of the remaining time to maturity
for our portfolio of investments in marketable securities as of December 31, 2008 was approximately five months. As of December 31, 2008, our investments in marketable securities were
held in a variety of interest-bearing instruments, consisting mainly of high-grade corporate notes. We did not hold any derivative instruments, foreign exchange contracts, asset backed
securities, mortgage backed securities, auction rate securities, or securities of issuers in bankruptcy in our investment portfolio as of December 31, 2008.

Stock-based Compensation Expense.We adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004),Share-Based Payment,or SFAS 123R, effective January 1, 2006. Under the provisions of SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is
recognized as expense over the required service period of the award. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, we accounted for grants of stock-based awards according to the intrinsic value method as
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employeesand related Interpretations.

In
March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, or SAB 107 (subsequently amended by SAB 110), relating to SFAS 123R. We applied the
provisions of SAB 107 in connection with our adoption of SFAS 123R. We adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the
accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of our fiscal year 2006. Our financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 reflect the
impact of SFAS 123R. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, our financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact
of SFAS 123R.

The
adoption of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 had a material impact on our net loss and net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006. We
expect that SFAS 123R will have a material impact on our future financial statements and results of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, we recorded
stock-based compensation expense of approximately $8.0 million, $6.7 million and $3.6 million, respectively, related to stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted
stock and our employee stock purchase plan. As of December 31, 2008, the unrecorded deferred stock-based compensation balance related to these stock-based awards was approximately
$7.6 million and will be recognized over the remaining vesting periods of the awards. Judgments and estimates must be made and used in determining the factors used in calculating the fair value
of stock-based awards, including the expected forfeiture rate of our stock-based awards, the expected life of our stock-based awards, and the expected volatility of our stock price. For more
information on stock-based compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2008, refer to Note 4 "Stock-Based Compensation Plans" of the Notes to our Financial Statements
included in Part IV, Item 15 of this report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value
Measurements, which defines fair value, provides a framework for measuring fair value, and expands the disclosures required for fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157
applies to other accounting pronouncements that require fair value measurements; it does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007 and we adopted it on January 1, 2008. The application of SFAS No. 157 to certain items has been deferred and will be effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008 and interim periods within that year. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position for the year ended
December 31, 2008. We have no assets or liabilities that were measured using quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or significant unobservable inputs (Level 2 and
Level 3 assets and liabilities, respectively) as of December 31, 2008. Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, prepaid
expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying value of our money market
investments totaling $30.4 million as of December 31, 2008 is included in cash and cash equivalents on our Balance Sheet included in this report and approximates their market values
based on quoted market prices, or Level 1 inputs. We account for investments in marketable securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115,

Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Investments in marketable securities are classified as held to maturity and are carried at cost plus accrued
interest.

In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an Amendment of
FASB Statement No. 115,which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and we adopted it on January 1, 2008. This statement permits
an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at
fair value at specified election dates. Subsequent unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings. The adoption of this
pronouncement did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position for the year ended December 31, 2008, as we did not elect to measure any of our financial
instruments at fair value.

In
June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, issued a consensus, EITF 07-3,Advance Payments for Research and Development
Activities, which states that non-refundable advance payments for goods that will be used or services that will be performed in future research and development
activities should be deferred and capitalized until the goods have been delivered or the related services have been rendered. EITF 07-3 is to be applied prospectively for new
contractual arrangements entered into in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 and we adopted it on January 1, 2008. The adoption did not result in a material change to our
current accounting practice.

In
November 2007, the EITF issued a consensus, EITF 07-1,Accounting for Collaboration Arrangements Related to the Development and
Commercialization of Intellectual Property, which is focused on how the parties to a collaborative agreement should account for costs incurred and revenue generated on sales to
third parties, how sharing payments pursuant to a collaboration agreement should be presented in the income statement and certain related disclosure questions. EITF 07-1 is to be
applied retrospectively for collaboration arrangements in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We currently do not have any such arrangements.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),Business Combinations. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations,and requires
an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, including those arising from contractual
contingencies, any contingent consideration, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified
in the statement. SFAS No. 141(R) also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages (sometimes referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable assets and
liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with SFAS No. 141(R)). In addition, SFAS
No. 141(R)'s requirement to measure the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value will result in recognizing the goodwill attributable to the noncontrolling interest in addition to
that attributable to the acquirer. SFAS No. 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes, to require the acquirer to recognize
changes in the amount of its deferred tax benefits that are recognizable because of a business combination either in income from continuing operations in the period of the combination or directly in
contributed capital, depending on the circumstances. It also amends SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to, among other things,
provide guidance on the impairment testing of acquired research and development intangible assets and assets that the acquirer intends not to use. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to
business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the
potential impact of this statement and will apply it to any business combinations in the future. We do not expect any impact on our financial statements.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS No. 160
amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51,Consolidated Financial Statements, to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling
interest in a

56

---



Table of Contents

subsidiary
and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as
equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 also changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented by requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts
that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of
consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS No. 160 requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated and requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent owners and the interests of the
noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal periods, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are
currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement. We do not expect any impact on our financial statements.

In
March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 161
is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring companies to enhance disclosure about how these instruments and activities affect their
financial position, performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 also improves the transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in a company's financial statements and how
they are accounted for under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods
beginning after that date. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement. We do not expect any impact on our financial statements.

In
May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162,The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 162
identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board, or PCAOB, amendments to AICPA Codification of Auditing Standards, AU Section 411,The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles. This amendment was approved by the PCAOB on September 16, 2008. We do not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will materially
impact our financial statements.

In
June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position, or FSP, EITF 03-6-1,Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based
Payment Transactions are Participating Securities, orFSP EITF 03-6-1, to address whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions
are participating securities prior to their vesting and therefore need to be included in the earnings per share calculation under the two-class method described in SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share.
This FSP requires companies to treat unvested share-based payment
awards that have non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents as participating securities and thus, include them in calculations of basic earnings per share. FSP
EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We do not anticipate that our adoption of FSP
EITF 03-6-1 will materially impact our financial statements or our computation of basic earnings per share upon adoption.

ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our financial instruments as of December 31, 2008 consisted of cash, cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, and
accounts payable. All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. We invest in marketable securities in accordance with our
investment policy. The primary objectives of our investment policy are to preserve principal, maintain proper liquidity to meet operating needs and maximize yields. Our investment policy specifies
credit quality standards for our investments and limits the amount of credit exposure to any

single
issue, issuer or type of investment. The weighted average duration of the remaining time to maturity for our portfolio of investments in marketable securities as of December 31, 2008 was
approximately five months. As of December 31, 2008, our investments in marketable securities of $53.5 million were all classified as held-to-maturity and were
held in a variety of interest-bearing instruments, consisting mainly of high-grade corporate notes. We did not hold any derivative instruments, foreign exchange contracts, asset backed
securities, mortgage backed securities, auction rate securities, or securities of issuers in bankruptcy in our investment portfolio as of December 31, 2008. The value of our investments in
marketable securities may be adversely affected by rating downgrades or bankruptcies affecting the issuers of such securities, whether caused by instability in the global financial markets, lack of
liquidity in the credit and capital markets, or other factors. In response to the recent instability in the global financial markets, we reviewed our investments in marketable securities and sold
certain investments that we deemed to have increased risk during the three months ended September 30, 2008. We have the ability and intent to hold our remaining investments in marketable
securities as of December 31, 2008 to their scheduled maturity, although we monitor our investment portfolio with the primary objectives of preserving principal and maintaining proper liquidity
to meet our operating needs.

Investments
in fixed-rate interest-earning instruments carry varying degrees of interest rate risk. The fair market value of our fixed-rate securities may be
adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates. In general, securities with longer maturities are subject to greater interest-rate risk than those with shorter maturities. Due in part
to this factor, our interest income may fall short of expectations or we may suffer losses in principal if securities are sold that have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates. Due
to the short duration of our
investment portfolio, we believe an immediate 10% change in interest rates would not be material to our financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of
our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in
Rule 13(a)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2008 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports
that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. Internal control
over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company's
principal executive officer and principal financial officer and effected by the company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial
reporting includes those policies and procedures that:



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

Our
management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making its assessment, management used the criteria
established inInternal ControlIntegrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based
on its assessment, management determined that, as of December 31, 2008, we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting based on those criteria.

In
addition, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent
registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report on page F-2 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

No Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Allos Therapeutics, Inc.:

In
our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Allos Therapeutics, Inc. (a development stage enterprise) at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 and, cumulatively, for the period from September 1, 1992 (date of inception) to December 31, 2008, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of
the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to
express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk
that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A
company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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

ALLOS THERAPEUTICS, INC.  (A Development Stage Enterprise)        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this report to "Allos," the "Company," "we," "us" and "our" refer to Allos Therapeutics, Inc.

1. Formation and Business of the Company

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative small molecule drugs for the treatment of cancer. We currently have two small molecule
chemotherapeutic product candidates, pralatrexate (PDX) and RH1.



In
mid-2007, we discontinued the development of EFAPROXYN, one of our former product candidates, after announcing top-line results from ENRICH, a Phase 3
clinical trial of EFAPROXYN plus whole brain radiation therapy, or WBRT, in women with brain metastases originating from breast cancer. The study failed to achieve its primary endpoint of
demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in overall survival in patients receiving EFAPROXYN plus WBRT, compared to patients receiving WBRT alone. We are currently pursuing the sale of
our rights to EFAPROXYN although we may not receive any material consideration for any sale.

We
incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia on September 1, 1992 as HemoTech Sciences, Inc. and filed amended Articles of Incorporation to change our name to Allos
Therapeutics, Inc. on October 19, 1994. We reincorporated in Delaware on October 28, 1996. We operate as a single business segment.

Since
our inception in 1992, we have not generated any revenue from product sales and have experienced significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations. We have incurred
these losses principally from costs incurred in our research and development programs, our clinical manufacturing, and from our marketing, general and administrative expenses. Our primary business
activities have been focused on the development of pralatrexate, RH1 (a program for which we are in the process of determining our future development plans, if any) and EFAPROXYN (a program which we
discontinued in mid-2007).

ALLOS THERAPEUTICS, INC.
(A Development Stage Enterprise)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. Formation and Business of the Company (Continued)

Our
ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability is dependent on our ability, alone or with partners, to successfully complete the development of pralatrexate, conduct clinical
trials, obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, and manufacture and market pralatrexate. The timing and costs to complete the successful development of pralatrexate is highly uncertain, and
therefore difficult to estimate. The lengthy process of seeking regulatory approvals for pralatrexate, and the subsequent compliance with applicable regulations, require the expenditure of substantial
resources. Clinical development timelines, likelihood of success and total costs vary widely and are impacted by a variety of risks and uncertainties. Because of these risks and uncertainties, we
cannot predict when or whether
we will successfully complete the development of pralatrexate or the ultimate costs of such efforts. Due to these same factors, we cannot be certain when, or if, we will generate any revenue or net
cash inflow from pralatrexate.

Even
if our clinical trials demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of pralatrexate in its target indications, we do not expect to be able to generate commercial sales of pralatrexate
until the second half of 2009, at the earliest. We expect to continue incurring net losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future. Although the size and timing of our future net losses are
subject to significant uncertainty, we expect them to increase over the next several years as we continue to fund our research and development programs and prepare for the potential commercial launch
of pralatrexate.

As
of December 31, 2008, we had $84.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketable securities. Based upon the current status of our product development
plans, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketable securities as of December 31, 2008 should be adequate to support our operations through at least the next
12 months, although there can be no assurance that this can, in fact, be accomplished.

We
anticipate continuing our current development programs and/or beginning other long-term development projects involving pralatrexate. These projects may require many years
and substantial expenditures to complete and may ultimately be unsuccessful. In addition, we intend to submit a New Drug Application, or NDA, for pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with
relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma, or PTCL, in the first half of 2009. We expect to incur significant costs relating to preparations for the potential commercial launch of
pralatrexate, including pre-commercial scale up of manufacturing and development of sales and marketing capabilities. Therefore, we will need to raise additional capital to support our
future operations. Our actual capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

ALLOS THERAPEUTICS, INC.
(A Development Stage Enterprise)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. Formation and Business of the Company (Continued)



We
may seek to obtain this additional capital through equity or debt financings, arrangements with corporate partners, or from other sources. Such financings or arrangements, if
successfully consummated, may be dilutive to our existing stockholders. However, there is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed, or that, if available, we will obtain
such financing on terms that are favorable to our stockholders or us. In particular, the current instability in the global financial markets and lack of liquidity in the credit and capital markets may
adversely affect our ability to secure adequate capital to support our future operations. In the event that additional funds are obtained through arrangements with collaborative partners or other
sources, such arrangements may require us to relinquish rights to some of our technologies, product candidates or products under development, which we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize
ourselves on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available. If we are unable to generate meaningful amounts of revenue from future product sales, if any, or cannot otherwise raise
sufficient additional funds to support our operations, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our development programs and our business and future prospects for
revenue and profitability may be harmed.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

We have not generated any revenue to date and our activities have consisted primarily of developing product candidates, raising capital
and recruiting personnel. Accordingly, we are considered to be in the development stage at December 31, 2008, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by
Development Stage Enterprises.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments in Marketable Securities

All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying
values of our cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities approximate their market values based on quoted market prices. We account for investments in

marketable
securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Investments in
marketable securities are classified as held to maturity and are carried at cost plus accrued interest. Our cash and cash equivalents are maintained in a financial institution in amounts that, at
times, may exceed federally insured limits. We realized a loss of approximately $552,000 on the sale of certain of our investments in marketable securities during the year ended December 31,
2008. In response to the recent instability in the global financial markets, we reviewed our investments in marketable securities and sold certain investments prior to their maturity in order to
preserve our principal, as the issuers of these securities experienced significant deteriorations in their creditworthiness as evidenced by investment rating downgrades. We have the ability and intent
to hold our remaining investments in marketable securities as of December 31, 2008 to their scheduled maturity, although we monitor our investment portfolio with the primary objectives of
preserving principal and maintaining proper liquidity to meet our operating needs. The weighted average duration of the remaining time to maturity for our portfolio of investments in marketable
securities as of December 31, 2008 was approximately five months. As of December 31, 2008, our investments in marketable securities were held in a variety of interest-bearing
instruments, consisting mainly of high-grade corporate notes. We did not hold any derivative instruments, foreign exchange contracts, asset backed securities, mortgage backed securities,
auction rate securities, or securities of issuers in bankruptcy in our investment portfolio as of December 31, 2008.

Restricted Cash

On August 22, 2008, $237,632 of cash was pledged as collateral on a letter of credit related to a lease for administrative
office space and was classified as restricted cash on the Balance Sheet.

On
May 24, 2001, $550,000 of cash was pledged as collateral on a letter of credit related to a lease for our headquarters facility and was classified as restricted cash on the
balance sheet. During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, in accordance with the terms of the building lease, the amount of the letter of credit was reduced by $183,334, $183,333
and $183,333, respectively and as of December 31, 2008, the letter of credit was fully released.

Prepaid Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. In accordance with certain research and development
agreements, we are obligated to make certain upfront payments upon execution of the agreement. We record these upfront payments as prepaid research and development expenses. Such payments are recorded
to research and development expense as services are performed. We evaluate on a quarterly basis whether events and circumstances have occurred that may indicate impairment of remaining prepaid
research and development expenses.

Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets, consisting primarily of property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in
circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the assets' book value to future net undiscounted cash flows the assets are
expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the book value of the assets exceed their fair value, which is
measured based on the projected discounted future net cash flows arising from the assets.

During
the year ended December 31, 2007, we recorded $307,817 in research and development expenses and $117,280 in clinical manufacturing expenses related to the discontinuation
of the EFAPROXYN development program. These expenses represent estimated costs to be incurred by contract research organizations in connection with closing out our EFAPROXYN clinical trials and
estimated costs for the destruction and storage of EFAPROXYN bulk drug substance and formulated drug product. As of December 31, 2008, $101,176 remains accrued, with approximately $323,921 in
payments made since the program was discontinued.

Operating Leases

We recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term. For leases that contain rent holidays,
escalation clauses or tenant improvement allowances, we recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis and record the difference between the rent expense and rental amount payable as
deferred rent. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, we had $82,355 and $0, respectively, of deferred rent in accrued liabilities.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value
Measurements, or SFAS 157, which defines fair value, provides a framework for measuring fair value, and expands the disclosures required for fair value measurements.
SFAS does not require any new fair value measurements but rather establishes a common definition of fair value applicable to all assets and liabilities measured at fair value. SFAS 157 defines
fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy
established by SFAS 157 prioritizes the inputs into valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Accordingly, we use valuation techniques

that
maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1:

Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to us for identical assets or liabilities;Level 2:

Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active and inactive markets or that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; andLevel 3:

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.


We
have no assets or liabilities that were measured using quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or significant unobservable inputs (Level 2 and Level 3 assets
and liabilities, respectively) as of December 31, 2008. Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying value of our money market investments totaling $30,361,584
as of December 31, 2008 is included in cash and cash equivalents on our Balance Sheet and approximates their market values based on quoted market prices, or Level 1 inputs. We account
for investments in marketable securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.
Investments in marketable securities are classified as held to maturity and are carried at cost plus accrued interest.

Stock-Based Compensation

We adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004),Share-Based Payment,or
SFAS 123R, effective January 1, 2006. Under the provisions of SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is
recognized as expense over the required service period of the award. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, we accounted for grants of stock-based awards according to the intrinsic value method as
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employeesand related Interpretations.

In
March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (subsequently amended by SAB 110), or SAB 107, relating to
SFAS 123R. We applied the provisions of SAB 107 in connection with our adoption of SFAS 123R. We adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method, which
requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of our fiscal year 2006. Our financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31,
2008, 2007 and 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS 123R (see Note 4). In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, our financial statements for prior periods have not been
restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123R.

In November 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position, or FSP, No. FAS 123(R)-3,Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of
Share-Based Payment Awards, or FSP 123R-3. We elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided in FSP 123R-3 for calculating the tax effects
of stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS 123R. The alternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in
capital, or APIC, pool related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and
our Statements of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS 123R. This adoption did not have an impact on our
financial statements.

See
Note 4"Stock-Based Compensation Plans" for additional details regarding the impact of our stock based compensation plans on our financial statements.

Research and Development

Research and development expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses include the costs of
certain personnel, basic research, preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory affairs, biostatistical data analysis and licensing fees for our product candidates. We record upfront fees and
milestone payments made under our licensing agreements for our product candidates as research and development expense as the services are performed. We accrue research and development expenses for
activity as incurred during the fiscal year and prior to receiving invoices from clinical sites and third party clinical and preclinical research organizations. We accrue external costs for clinical
and preclinical studies based on an evaluation of the following: the progress of the studies, including patient enrollment, dosing levels of patients enrolled, estimated costs to dose patients,
invoices received, and contracted costs with clinical sites and third party clinical and preclinical research organizations. Significant judgments and estimates must be made and used in determining
the accrued balance in any accounting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, we did not have any changes in estimates
that would have resulted in material adjustments to research and development expenses accrued in the prior period. However, during the quarter ended December 31, 2006, we did change our
estimate relating to certain costs for our Phase 3 ENRICH trial for EFAPROXYN as a result of new information, which resulted in a reduction of research and development expenses of approximately
$400,000 and a corresponding decrease in accrued research and development expenses as of December 31, 2006.

Clinical Manufacturing

Clinical manufacturing expenses include the costs of certain personnel, third party manufacturing costs for development of drug
materials for use in clinical trials and preclinical studies, and costs associated with pre-commercial scale-up of manufacturing to support anticipated regulatory and potential
commercial requirements. Our finished drug inventory is expensed to clinical manufacturing since we are still a development stage company and we have not received regulatory approval to market our
product candidates. If and when we receive regulatory approval, we will be required to capitalize any future manufacturing costs for our marketed products at the lower of cost or market and then
expense the sold inventory as a component of cost of goods sold.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes,
or FAS 109. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities at each year end and their respective tax bases using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation
allowances have been established to reduce the Company's deferred tax assets to zero, as we believe that it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.

Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128,Earnings Per
Share, or SFAS 128. Under the provisions of SFAS 128, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders for the
period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all dilutive potential common stock outstanding during
the period, including stock options, restricted stock, stock warrants and shares to be issued under our employee stock purchase plan.

Diluted
net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for all periods presented because any potential dilutive common shares were anti-dilutive due to our net
loss (as including such shares would decrease our basic net loss per share). Potential dilutive common shares that would have been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share if we had
net income are as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements, which
defines fair value, provides a framework for measuring fair value, and expands the disclosures required for fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that
require fair value measurements; it does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and we adopted it on
January 1, 2008. The application of SFAS 157 to certain items has been deferred and will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within
that year. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position for the year ended December 31, 2008. We have no assets or
liabilities that were measured using quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or significant unobservable inputs (Level 2 and Level 3 assets and liabilities, respectively) as of
December 31, 2008. Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The

carrying
amounts of financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. We account for investments in marketable securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities. Investments in marketable securities are classified as held to maturity and are
carried at cost plus accrued interest.

In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an Amendment of
FASB Statement No. 115,which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and we adopted it on January 1, 2008. This statement permits
an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. Subsequent unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value
option has been elected will be reported in earnings. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position for the year ended
December 31, 2008, as we did not elect to measure any of our financial instruments at fair value.

In
June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, issued a consensus, EITF 07-3,Advance Payments for Research and Development
Activities, which states that non-refundable advance payments for goods that will be used or services that will be performed in future research and development
activities should be deferred and capitalized until the goods have been delivered or the related services have been rendered. EITF 07-3 is to be applied prospectively for new
contractual arrangements entered into in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 and we adopted it on January 1, 2008. The adoption did not result in a material change to our
current accounting practice.

In
November 2007, the EITF issued a consensus, EITF 07-1,Accounting for Collaboration Arrangements Related to the Development and
Commercialization of Intellectual Property, which is focused on how the parties to a collaborative agreement should account for costs incurred and revenue generated on sales to
third parties, how sharing payments pursuant to a collaboration agreement should be presented in the income statement and certain related disclosure questions. EITF 07-1 is to be
applied retrospectively for collaboration arrangements in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We currently do not have any such arrangements.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),Business Combinations. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations,and requires
an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, including those arising from contractual
contingencies, any contingent consideration, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified
in the statement. SFAS No. 141(R) also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages (sometimes referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable assets and
liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with SFAS No. 141(R)). In addition, SFAS
No. 141(R)'s requirement to measure the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value will result in recognizing the goodwill attributable to the noncontrolling interest in addition to
that attributable to the acquirer. SFAS No. 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes, to require the acquirer to recognize
changes in the amount of its deferred tax benefits that are recognizable because of a business combination either in income from continuing operations in the period of the combination or directly in
contributed capital, depending on the circumstances. It also amends SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to, among other things,
provide guidance on the impairment testing of acquired research and development intangible

and assets that the acquirer intends not to use. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first
annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement and will apply it to any business combinations in the future.
We do not expect any impact on our financial statements.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS No. 160
amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51,Consolidated Financial Statements,
to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a
subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 also changes the way the consolidated
income statement is presented by requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires
disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS No. 160 requires
that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and
distinguish between the interests of the parent owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal periods, and interim periods within
those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement. We do not expect any impact on our financial statements.

In
March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 161
is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring companies to enhance disclosure about how these instruments and activities affect their
financial position, performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 also improves the transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in a company's financial statements and how
they are accounted for under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods
beginning after that date. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement. We do not expect any impact on our financial statements.

In
May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162,The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 162
identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board, or PCAOB, amendments to AICPA Codification of Auditing Standards, AU Section 411,The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles. This amendment was approved by the PCAOB on September 16, 2008. We do not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will materially
impact our financial statements.

In
June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position, or FSP, EITF 03-6-1,Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based
Payment Transactions are Participating Securities, orFSP EITF 03-6-1, to address whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions

participating
securities prior to their vesting and therefore need to be included in the earnings per share calculation under the two-class method described in SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. This FSP requires
companies to treat unvested share-based payment awards that have non-forfeitable rights to dividends
or dividend equivalents as participating securities and
thus, include them in calculations of basic earnings per share. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We do not
anticipate that our adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 will materially impact our financial statements or our computation of basic earnings per share upon adoption.

Common Stock

2000 Initial Public Offering

In March 2000, we completed an Initial Public Offering of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $18.00 per share, the IPO.
Proceeds to us from the IPO, after calculation of the underwriters' discount and commission, totaled approximately $82.8 million, net of offering costs of approximately $1.0 million
(excluding underwriters discounts and commissions). Concurrent with the closing of the IPO, all outstanding shares of our convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into 15,678,737
shares of common stock, and our Certificate of Incorporation was amended to authorize 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, none of which were issued or outstanding at December 31,
2008. Our Board of Directors is authorized to fix the designation, powers, preferences, and rights of any such series.

2002 Private Placement

In April 2002, we completed a private placement of 2,500,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $6.00 per share for an
aggregate purchase price of $15.0 million, net of $100,000 in issuance costs, which resulted in net cash proceeds to us of approximately $14.9 million.

2003 Private Placement

In November 2003, we completed a private placement of 5,172,412 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $2.32 per share for an
aggregate purchase price of $12.0 million, net of $800,000 in issuance costs, which resulted in net cash proceeds to us of approximately $11.2 million. The purchase price was privately
negotiated with the purchasers to represent an approximately 16% discount to the market value of our common stock on November 14, 2003.

2005 Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock Financing

In March 2005, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Warburg Pincus Private Equity VIII, L.P., or Warburg, and
certain other investors pursuant to which we issued and sold 2,352,443 shares of Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "Exchangeable Preferred"), at a price per share of $22.10, the
Preferred Purchase Price, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $52.0 million, or the Preferred Stock Financing. We incurred offering expenses of $3.2 million in connection with
the sale of Exchangeable Preferred, resulting in net cash proceeds to the Company of approximately $48.8 million. The shares of Exchangeable Preferred were sold under our shelf

3. Stockholders' Equity (Continued)

Registration
Statement on Form S-3 declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2004. In connection with its purchase of the Exchangeable
Preferred, Warburg entered into a standstill agreement agreeing not to pursue certain activities the purpose or effect of which may be to change or influence the control or the Company.

On
May 18, 2005, at our 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders voted to approve the issuance of shares of our common stock upon exchange of all of the outstanding
shares of Exchangeable Preferred. As a result of such approval, we issued a total of 23,524,430 shares of common stock upon exchange of 2,352,443 shares of Exchangeable Preferred, or the Share
Exchange.

The
Preferred Purchase Price represented a 7.5% discount to the 20-day trailing average closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market as of March 2,
2005, calculated on an as-exchanged for common stock basis. In connection with the Share Exchange, we recorded a deemed dividend related to the beneficial conversion feature of the
Exchangeable Preferred equal to $623,489, representing the difference between the effective conversion price per share of common stock and the market value per share of common stock as of the closing
date of the Preferred Stock Financing. This dividend increased the net loss attributable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2005.

In
connection with the sale of Exchangeable Preferred, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement between us and the purchasers of Exchangeable Preferred. Pursuant to this
Registration Rights Agreement, beginning on March 4, 2007, the purchasers of Exchangeable Preferred became entitled to certain registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock
that were issued upon exchange of the Exchangeable Preferred.

Pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement, for so long as Warburg owns at least two-thirds of the shares of common stock issued upon exchange of such Exchangeable
Preferred, we will nominate and use our reasonable best efforts to cause to be elected and cause to remain as directors on our Board of Directors two individuals designated by Warburg (each, an
"Investor Designee" and collectively, the "Investor Designees"). If Warburg no longer has the right to designate two members of our Board of Directors, then, for so long as Warburg owns at least 50%
of the shares of common stock issued upon exchange of such Exchangeable Preferred, we will nominate and use our reasonable best efforts to cause to be elected and cause to remain as a director on our
Board of Directors, one Investor Designee. In addition, subject to applicable law and the rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market, we will use our reasonable best efforts to cause
one of the Investor Designees to be a member of each principal committee of our Board of Directors; however, our Board of Directors has determined, based on its analysis of
Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that the Investor Designees are not eligible to serve as members of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
due to the size of Warburg's ownership interest. Effective upon the closing of the sale of Exchangeable Preferred to Warburg on March 4, 2005, Messrs. Stewart Hen and Jonathan Leff, each
of whom is a Managing Director of Warburg, were appointed to our Board of Directors pursuant to Warburg's right to nominate directors.

2007 Common Stock Financing

On February 2, 2007, we sold 9,000,000 shares of our common stock in an underwritten offering at a price of $6.00 per share, or

Baker
Brothers Life Sciences, L.P. and certain other affiliated funds, collectively Baker, purchased 3,300,000 shares of common stock in the February 2007 Financing. As a result
of such purchase, Baker held in excess of 15% of our outstanding common stock following the closing of the February 2007 Financing. In connection with the February 2007 Financing, Baker entered into a
standstill agreement with the Company, agreeing not to pursue, for four years, certain activities the purpose or effect of which may be to change or influence control of the Company.

2008 Common Stock Financing

On May 29, 2008, we sold 12,420,000 shares of our common stock in an underwritten public offering at a price of $5.64 per share.

Stockholder Rights Plan

In May 2003, we designated 1,000,000 shares of our authorized Preferred Stock as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock,
par value $0.001 per share, pursuant to a Stockholder Rights Plan approved by our Board of Directors under which all stockholders of record as of May 28, 2003 received a dividend distribution
of one preferred share purchase right, or a Right, for each outstanding share of our common stock. The Rights trade with the common stock and no separate Right certificates will be distributed until
such time as the Rights become exercisable in accordance with the Stockholder Rights Plan. The Stockholder Rights Plan is intended as a means to guard against abusive takeover tactics and to provide
for fair and equal treatment for all stockholders in the event that an unsolicited attempt is made to acquire us.

In
connection with the sale of shares of Exchangeable Preferred to Warburg in March 2005, we amended the Stockholder Rights Plan to provide that Warburg and its affiliates will be exempt
from the Stockholder Rights Plan, unless Warburg and its affiliates become, without the prior consent of our Board of Directors, the beneficial owner of more than 44% of our common stock.

In
connection with the acquisition of shares of our common stock by Baker in the February 2007 Financing, we amended the Stockholder Rights Plan to provide that Baker will be exempt from
the Stockholder Rights Plan, unless Baker becomes, without the Company's prior consent, the beneficial owner of more than 20% of our common stock.

Until
the Rights become exercisable, the Rights will have no dilutive impact on our earnings per share data. The Rights are protected by customary anti-dilution provisions.
As of December 31, 2008, no shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock were issued or outstanding.

agreement
with a former member of our Board of Directors, Dr. Marvin E. Jaffe (these arrangements are described in more detail in Note 9 below). Pursuant to these arrangements, the
exercise periods of certain stock options held by Mr. Hart and Dr. Jaffe were extended as a result of their consulting relationships and were deemed modified for accounting purposes. We
have accounted for the modifications to these options in accordance with SFAS 123R and FASB Interpretation No. 44,Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving
Stock Compensation, and recorded a one-time stock-based compensation charge of $441,129 during the year ended December 31, 2006.

Stock Options

During 1995, our Board of Directors terminated the 1992 Stock Plan, or the 1992 Plan, and adopted the 1995 Stock Option Plan, or the
1995 Plan. The 1995 Plan was amended and restated in 1997. Termination of the 1992 Plan had no effect on the options outstanding under that plan, as they were assumed under the 1995 Plan. Under the
1995 Plan, we could grant fixed and performance-based stock options and stock appreciation rights to officers, employees, consultants and directors. The stock options were intended to qualify as
"incentive stock options" under Section 422 of
the Internal Revenue Code, unless specifically designated as non-qualifying stock options or unless exceeding the applicable statutory limit.

During
2000, concurrent with the IPO, the Board of Directors suspended the 1995 Plan and adopted the Allos Therapeutics, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 2000
Plan. The 2000 Plan provided for the granting of stock options similar to the terms of the 1995 Plan as described above. Any shares remaining for future option grants and any future cancellations of
options from our 1995 Plan were available for future grant under the 2000 Plan. Suspension of the 1995 Plan had no effect on the options outstanding under the 1995 Plan. Under the 2000 Plan, we were
authorized to increase the number of shares of common stock that were available annually on the first day of each fiscal year beginning in 2001 in an amount equal to the lesser of 440,000 shares or 2%
of the adjusted average common shares outstanding used to calculate fully diluted earnings per share as reported in our Annual Report to Stockholders for the preceding year, or alternatively, by any
lesser amount determined by our Board of Directors. On December 21, 2005, our stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the 2000 Plan to: (i) increase the aggregate number of
shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2000 Plan by 3,500,000 shares and (ii) provide that the number of shares of common stock that could be granted under the 2000 Plan to
any one employee during any calendar year could not exceed 2,000,000 shares.

In
January 2002, our Board of Directors approved the Allos Therapeutics, Inc. 2002 Broad Based Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2002 Plan. Under the 2002 Plan, we were authorized to
issue up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock to employees, consultants and members of the Board of Directors. Under the terms of the 2002 Plan, the aggregate number of shares underlying stock awards
to officers and directors once employed by us cannot exceed 49% of the number of shares underlying all stock awards granted, as determined on certain specific dates.

In
June 2006, our Board of Directors approved the Allos Therapeutics, Inc. 2006 Inducement Award Plan, the 2006 Plan. Under the 2006 Plan, we were authorized to issue up to
1,500,000 shares of common stock pursuant to equity awards, including nonstatutory stock options, stock grant awards, stock purchase awards, stock unit awards and other forms of equity compensation.
We could grant

awards
under the 2006 Plan only to persons not previously an employee or director of ours, or following a bona fide period of non-employment, as an inducement material to such individual's
entering into employment with us and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for our success.

At
our Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 24, 2008, our stockholders approved the Allos Therapeutics, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2008 Plan. The 2008
Plan authorizes the issuance of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, performance stock awards and
forms of equity compensation, which may be granted to employees, directors and consultants. Only employees may receive incentive stock options. The 2008 Plan succeeds and continues the 2006 Plan, the
2002 Plan and the 2000 Plan, or the
Prior Plans. As of June 24, 2008, no additional stock awards will be granted under the Prior Plans and all outstanding stock awards granted under the Prior Plans are deemed to be stock awards
granted under the 2008 Plan (but remain subject to the terms of the Prior Plans with respect to which they were originally granted).

12,550,843
shares of our common stock may be issued pursuant to stock awards granted under the 2008 Plan, provided that all stock awards granted after the June 24, 2008 effective
date of the 2008 Plan, other than stock options and stock appreciation rights granted with an exercise price of at least 100% of such stock award's fair market value on the date of grant, will reduce
the number of shares available for issuance under the 2008 Plan by 1.35 shares per share granted pursuant to the stock award. If a stock award under the 2008 Plan expires or otherwise terminates
without being exercised in full, the shares of common stock of the Company not acquired pursuant to the stock award will again become available for issuance under the 2008 Plan. In addition, shares
issued pursuant to a stock award that are forfeited to or repurchased by us prior to becoming fully vested and shares that are cancelled pursuant to an exchange or repricing program will become
available for the grant of new stock awards under the 2008 Plan. Shares of common stock that revert to and again become available for issuance under the 2008 Plan and that prior to such reversion were
granted pursuant to a stock award that reduced the number of shares available under the 2008 Plan by 1.35 shares per share granted pursuant to such stock award, shall cause the number of shares of
common stock of the Company available for issuance under the 2008 Plan to increase by 1.35 shares upon such reversion.

The
1995 and 2008 Plans, or the Plans, provide for appropriate adjustments in the number of shares reserved and outstanding options in the event of certain changes to our outstanding
common stock by reason of merger, recapitalization, stock split or other similar events. Options granted under the Plans may be exercised for a period of not more than 10 years from the date of
grant or any shorter period as determined by our Board of Directors. Options vest as determined by the Board of Directors, generally over a period of two to four years, subject to acceleration under
certain events. The exercise price of any incentive stock option granted under the Plans must equal or exceed the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, or 110% of the fair market
value per share in the case of a 10% or greater stockholder.

During
the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, we granted stock options with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $3.88, $4.12 and $1.79 per share,
respectively. Stock-based compensation expense related to our stock option plans was $7,538,876, $5,899,387 and $3,048,523 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As
of December 31, 2008, the unrecorded stock-based compensation balance related to stock option awards was $7,300,632 and will be recognized over an estimated weighted-average amortization period
of 1.4 years.

The
aggregate intrinsic value in the tables above represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on our closing stock price of $6.12 as of December 31, 2008, which would have
been received by the option holders had all option holders with in-the-money options exercised their options as of that date. The total number of
in-the-money options exercisable as of December 31, 2008 was 2,478,804. The total intrinsic value of outstanding stock options as of December 31, 2008 was
$9,362,869.

The
total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $3,168,268, $2,634,426 and $1,104,117, respectively. The total cash
received from employees as a result of employee stock option exercises during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $5,291,229, $3,696,811 and $561,097, respectively. We settle
employee stock option exercises with newly issued common shares. No tax benefits were realized by us in connection with these exercises during the year ended December 31, 2008 as we maintain
net operating loss carryforwards and we have established a valuation allowance against the entire tax benefit as of December 31, 2008.

Valuation assumptions for stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

For stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the majority vest according to the following
schedule: 25% of the shares subject to the award vest one year after the date of grant, and the remaining 75% of the shares subject to the award vest in equal monthly installments thereafter over the
next three years, until all such shares are vested and exercisable. Stock-based compensation calculated according to SFAS 123R is expensed over the vesting period of the individual options in
accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 28,Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option and Award Plans. The fair
value of stock options granted to our employees during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was estimated on the date of

We
used an expected dividend yield of 0%, as we do not expect to pay dividends during the expected life of these awards. The expected stock price volatility is determined using our
historical stock volatility over the period equal to the expected life of each award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining
term equal to the expected life of each award. During 2006 through the first quarter of 2007, the expected life was determined by factoring the different vesting periods of each award in combination
with our employees' expected exercise behavior. In June 2007, we concluded that our historical share option exercise experience would not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected
term going forward, given our relative stage of development and changes in our business given the termination of the EFAPROXYN development program. Beginning in the second quarter of 2007, the
expected life of the stock options was estimated using peer data of companies in the life science industry with similar equity plans. As required by SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation expense
is recognized net of estimated pre-vesting forfeitures, which results in recognition of expense on options that are ultimately expected to vest over the expected option term. Forfeitures
were estimated using actual historical forfeiture experience.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On February 28, 2001, our Board of Directors approved the Allos Therapeutics, Inc. 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or
Purchase Plan, which was also approved by our stockholders on April 17, 2001. Under the Purchase Plan, we are authorized to issue up to 2,500,000 shares of common stock to qualified employees.
Qualified employees can choose to have up to 10% of their annual base earnings withheld to purchase shares of our common stock during each offering period. The purchase price of the common stock is
85% percent of the lower of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the first day of the offering or the fair market value of a share of common stock on the last day of the purchase
period. We sold 22,828, 41,148 and 44,319 shares to employees in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. There were 2,259,777 shares available for sale under the Purchase Plan as of December 31,
2008. The Purchase Plan will terminate on February 27, 2011. Stock-based compensation expense related to our Purchase Plan was $59,068, $61,484 and $35,964 for the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, there was no unrecorded deferred stock-based compensation balance related to the Purchase Plan. The weighted-
average estimated grant date fair value of purchase awards under the Purchase Plan during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $2.59, $1.42 and $0.96 per share, respectively.

5. Restructuring and Separation Costs

In January 2005, we executed agreements to sublease approximately three-quarters of the 12,708 square feet of excess space in our corporate offices located in Westminster, Colorado. The
term of each sublease agreement was through the term of our office lease, or October 31, 2008. The total rental payments to us under the terms of the sublease agreements approximated $230,000.
In the year ended December 31, 2005, we recorded a lease abandonment charge of $380,085 as our obligations under our primary lease were in excess of the sum of the actual and expected sublease
rental payments for this
excess space. As of December 31, 2008, there was no remaining accrued restructuring and separation costs relating to this lease abandonment charge.

In
January 2006, Michael E. Hart notified our Board of Directors of his intent to resign from his positions as President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the
Company once a successor Chief Executive Officer was appointed. On March 3, 2006, we entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Hart to provide certain incentives for his continued
employment with the Company while we conducted our search for his successor. On March 9, 2006, we appointed Paul L. Berns as our President, Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of
Directors and Mr. Hart resigned from his positions in accordance with the terms of the separation agreement. The separation agreement with Mr. Hart was amended on March 9, 2006
and on May 10, 2006, or as so amended, the Separation Agreement. We recorded separation costs of $645,666 during the year ended December 31, 2006 relating to our estimate of our total
obligations under the Separation Agreement with Mr. Hart. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, we made payments to Mr. Hart under the Separation Agreement of
$320,458 and $325,208, respectively. As of December 31, 2007, there was no remaining liability relating to the Separation Agreement with Mr. Hart.

6. Income Taxes

We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109, or FIN 48, on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial
statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Based on our
evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the periods from
December 31, 1993 through December 31, 2008, the tax periods which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of December 31, 2008.

We
may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although there have been no such assessments historically with material impact to our financial
results. In the event we receive an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it would be classified in the financial statements as income tax expense.

Our
deferred tax assets represent an unrecognized future tax benefit. A valuation allowance has been established for the entire tax benefit as we believe that it is more likely than not
that such assets will not be realized.

As
of December 31, 2008, we had available approximately $174.8 million of net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards, after taking into consideration NOLs expected to expire
unused due to the limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, and which includes approximately $5.2 million of deductions related to stock-based compensation that are not
realized as deferred tax assets until current taxes payable can be reduced. These NOL carryforwards will expire beginning in 2009. In addition, we had research and development credit and orphan drug
credit carryforwards, after taking into consideration the Section 382 limitation, of $3.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2008, to offset future
regular and alternative tax expense. Since the Company's formation, it has raised capital through the issuance of capital stock on several occasions which,

combined
with shareholders' subsequent disposition of those shares, has resulted in four changes of control in 1994, 1998, 2001 and 2005, as defined by Section 382. In general, an ownership
change, as defined by Section 382, results from transactions increasing the ownership of certain shareholders or public groups in the stock of a corporation by more than 50% within a
three-year period. As a result of the most recent ownership change in 2005, utilization of our NOLs generated
prior to the latest change are subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 determined by multiplying the value of our stock at the time of the ownership change in control by the
applicable long-term tax-exempt rate resulting in an annual limitation amount of approximately $2.2 million. Additionally, we have a recognized built-in gain
that will increase the annual limitation by $3.3 million for each of the five years after the 2005 ownership change. Any unused annual limitation may be carried over to later years, and the
amount of the limitation may, under certain circumstances, be subject to adjustment if the fair value of the Company's net assets are determined to be below or in excess of the tax basis of such
assets at the time of the ownership change, and such unrealized loss or gain is recognized during the five-year period after the ownership change. Subsequent ownership changes, as defined
in Section 382, could further limit the amount of our NOL carryforwards and research and development credits that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income.

7. Employee Benefit Plan

We maintain a defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. From January 1, 1999 through
December 31, 2006, we provided a 50% match of employees' contributions up to $2,000 per employee per year. Effective January 1, 2007, we provided a 50% match of employees' contributions
up to $5,000 per employee per year. We made total contributions of $246,112, $241,227 and $105,675 during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Company contributions
are fully vested after four years of employment.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Commitments

We lease offices under agreements that expire at various dates through 2012, and which contain clauses for renewal at our option for
one additional three year term. Total rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 and the cumulative period from inception through December 31, 2008 was $714,594,
$686,606, $586,010 and $5,778,377, respectively.

The
aggregate future minimum rental commitments as of December 31, 2008, for non-cancelable operating leases with initial or remaining terms in excess of one year are

Royalty and License Fee Commitments

In December 2002, we entered into a license agreement with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, SRI International and Southern
Research Institute, as amended, under which we obtained exclusive worldwide rights to a portfolio of patents and patent applications related to pralatrexate (PDX) and its uses. Under the terms of the
agreement, we paid an up-front license fee of $2.0 million upon execution of the agreement and are also required to make certain additional cash payments based upon the achievement
of certain clinical development or regulatory milestones or the passage of certain time periods. To date, we have made aggregate milestone payments of $2.5 million based on the passage of time.
In the future, we could make an aggregate milestone payment of $500,000 upon the earlier of achievement of a clinical development milestone or the passage of certain time periods, or the Clinical
Milestone, and up to $10.3 million upon achievement of certain regulatory milestones, or the Regulatory Milestones, including regulatory approval to market pralatrexate in the United States or
Europe. The last scheduled payment towards the Clinical Milestone of $500,000 is currently due on December 23, 2009. We intend to submit an NDA for pralatrexate for the treatment of patients
with relapsed or refractory PTCL in the first half of 2009. If the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, accepts our NDA for review and if we obtain FDA approval to market pralatrexate, we will
be obligated to make payments of $1,500,000 and $5,300,000, respectively, which represent a portion of the Regulatory Milestones. The up-front license fee and all milestone payments under
the agreement have been or will be recorded to research and development expense when incurred. Under the terms of the agreement, we are required to fund all development programs and will have sole
responsibility for all commercialization activities. In addition, we will pay the licensors a royalty based on a percentage of net revenues arising from sales of the product or sublicense revenues
arising from sublicensing the product, if and when such sales or sublicenses occur.

In
December 2004, we entered into an agreement with the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, the University of Salford and Cancer Research Technology, or CRT, under which we
obtained exclusive worldwide rights to certain intellectual property surrounding a proprietary molecule known as RH1. Under the terms of the agreement, we paid an up-front license fee of
$190,500 upon execution of the agreement and are also required to make certain additional cash payments based upon the achievement of certain clinical development, regulatory and commercialization
milestones. We could make aggregate milestone payments of up to $9.2 million upon the achievement of the clinical development, regulatory and commercialization milestones set forth in the
agreement. The
up-front license fee and all milestone payments under the agreement, as well as the one-time data option fee discussed below, have been recorded to research and development
expense. Under the terms of the agreement and related data option agreement, we paid the licensors a one-time data option fee of $360,000 in 2007 for an exclusive license to the results of
a Phase 1 study sponsored by Cancer Research UK, CRT's parent institution. This Phase 1 study was completed in 2007 and, under the terms of the agreement, we have since assumed
responsibility for all future development costs and activities and have sole responsibility for all commercialization activities. In addition, we will pay the licensors a royalty based on a percentage
of net revenues arising from sales of the product or sublicense revenues arising from sublicensing the product, if and when such sales or sublicenses occur. We are currently in the process of closing
our Phase 1 study of RH1 in patients with advanced solid tumors or NHL and determining our future development plans, if any, for RH1.

8. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

Contingencies

We were named as a defendant in a purported securities class action lawsuit filed in May 2004 seeking unspecified damages relating to
the issuance of allegedly false and misleading statements regarding EFAPROXYN during the period from May 29, 2003 to April 29, 2004 and subsequent declines in our stock price. In an
opinion dated October 20, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado concluded that the plaintiffs' complaint failed to meet the legal requirements applicable to its alleged
claims and dismissed the lawsuit. On November 20, 2005, the plaintiffs appealed the District Court's decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. On February 6, 2008, the
parties signed a stipulation of settlement, settling the case for $2,000,000. The settlement was subject to various conditions, including without limitation approval of the District Court. On
January 29, 2009, the District Court issued its Order and Final Judgment approving the settlement, including the releases of the defendants for which the settlement provided. Neither we nor our
former officer, who was also named as a defendant, admitted any liability in connection with the settlement. The amount of the settlement in excess of our deductible was covered by our insurance
carrier. In the event the District Court's approval of the settlement is appealed and the settlement does not become final, we would intend to vigorously defend against the plaintiffs' appeal. If the
Court of Appeals then were to reverse the District Court's decision and we were not successful in our defense against the plaintiffs' claims, we could be forced to make significant payments to the
plaintiffs, and such payments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows to the extent such payments are not covered by our
insurance carriers. Even if our defense against such claims were successful, the litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management's attention and resources, which could adversely
affect our business. As of December 31, 2008, we have recorded $2,000,000 in accrued litigation settlement costs, which represents our best estimate of the potential gross amount of the
settlement costs to be paid to the plaintiffs, and $2,000,000 in prepaid expenses and other assets, which represents the approximately $235,000 of remaining deductible under our insurance policy paid
by us and $1,765,000 paid by our insurance
carrier into the settlement fund escrow in September 2008. A claims administrator appointed by the parties will administer the distribution of the settlement fund to authorized claimants in 2009.

We
enter into indemnification provisions under our agreements with other companies in our ordinary course of business, typically with business partners, contractors, clinical sites and
suppliers. Under these provisions we generally indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party as a result of our activities or the use of
our product candidates. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under
these indemnification provisions is unlimited. We have not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. The estimated fair value of the
indemnification provisions of these agreements is minimal as of December 31, 2008, and accordingly, we have no corresponding liabilities recorded as of December 31, 2008.

9. Related Party Transactions

Dr. Donald Abraham

In January 2001, we entered into a consulting agreement for scientific advisory services with Dr. Donald Abraham, a director of
the Company from 1994 through May 10, 2004. Under the one-year agreement, which was renewable upon mutual consent, we paid
Dr. Abraham consulting fees of $2,000 per month. In March 2002, this contract was terminated. Effective July 1, 2003, we entered into another one-year consulting agreement,
under which we paid Dr. Abraham consulting fees of $5,000 per month. Starting in June 2004, this agreement was renewed each year for successive one-year terms through
June 30, 2007. The agreement was not renewed after June 30, 2007. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006 and the cumulative period from inception through
December 31, 2008, we paid Dr. Abraham consulting fees of $0, $30,000, $60,000 and $288,000, respectively.

Dr. Stephen Hoffman

Dr. Stephen J. Hoffman has served as a member of our Board of Directors since 1994 and as our Chairman of the Board since
December 2001. He also served as our President and Chief Executive Officer from July 1994 to December 2001. On January 12, 2000, we granted Dr. Hoffman a stock option to purchase 328,971
shares of common stock at $2.42 per share, or the 1995 Plan Option, under the terms of our 1995 Stock Option Plan. Effective February 28, 2003, we entered into a two-year consulting
agreement, or the Consulting Agreement, with Dr. Hoffman and terminated the employment agreement previously entered into with him in January 2001.

Pursuant
to the Consulting Agreement, Dr. Hoffman served us as non-executive Chairman of the Board and was required to provide consulting services as requested by us
from time to time. According to the Consulting Agreement, Dr. Hoffman's then-outstanding options continued to vest through the end of the term of the agreement, or
February 28, 2005. We have accounted for these stock options using variable accounting as prescribed by FASB Interpretation No. 44,Accounting for Certain
Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, and we recorded a recovery of non-cash stock-based compensation of $2,488 and $170,118 during 2004 and 2005 and
stock-based compensation of $173,963 during 2003, respectively. Stock options granted to Dr. Hoffman in 2007, 2006 and 2005 related to Board of Director services.

The
Consulting Agreement expired in accordance with its terms on February 28, 2005. On May 18, 2005, in recognition of Dr. Hoffman's efforts and services on behalf
of the Company and as an incentive for Dr. Hoffman's continued service as our Chairman of the Board, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 1995 Plan Option to extend the exercise
period for such option until the earlier of: (i) January 12, 2010 (the expiration date of such option), or (ii) three months after the date that Dr. Hoffman ceases to serve
as a director of the Company. Prior to such amendment, the 1995 Plan Option would have expired on May 28, 2005, or three months after the expiration of Dr. Hoffman's Consulting Agreement
with the Company. Except as set forth above, the 1995 Plan Option remains in full force and effect in accordance with its original terms. In conjunction with this amendment to the 1995 Plan Option, we
recorded non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $462,000 during the year ended December 31, 2005. This expense is reflected in marketing, general and administrative expenses
in our Statement of Operations.

Dr. Marvin Jaffe, M.D.

Dr. Marvin E. Jaffe served as a member of our Board of Directors from 1994 to May 10, 2006. On March 11, 2006,
Dr. Jaffe tendered his resignation as a director of the Company effective immediately prior to our 2006 annual meeting of stockholders and notified the Board that he did not intend to stand for
reelection. As a result of Dr. Jaffe's resignation as a director, on May 10, 2006, we entered into a consulting agreement with Dr. Jaffe in order to allow us to retain the benefit
of Dr. Jaffe's knowledge and expertise regarding the Company's business and the potential clinical development and commercialization strategies for our products (the "Jaffe Consulting
Agreement"). Pursuant to the Jaffe Consulting Agreement, Dr. Jaffe agreed to provide up to 10 hours of consulting service per month as and when requested from time to time by the
Company. In connection with the performance of his consulting services, we granted Dr. Jaffe a nonqualified stock option under the Company's 2000 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan to purchase
20,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $2.94 per share, which equals the closing sale price of a share of our common stock on the effective date of the Jaffe Consulting Agreement
(as reported by the Nasdaq National Market). This option is subject to the terms and conditions of the 2000 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan, as further provided in our 2008 Equity Incentive Plan,
and vests in eighteen equal monthly installments commencing July 1, 2006. Dr. Jaffe is not entitled to any additional compensation or benefits in connection with the performance of his
consulting services. The Jaffe Consulting Agreement terminated on December 31, 2007.

Michael E. Hart

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement with Mr. Hart (as discussed in Note 5) and as a result of Mr. Hart's

regarding the Company's operations and corporate development strategies, or the Hart Consulting Agreement. Pursuant to the Hart Consulting Agreement, Mr. Hart agreed to provide an average of at
least 10 hours of consulting services per month as and when requested from time to time by the Company. Mr. Hart is not entitled to any compensation or benefits in connection with the
