**ALLOSTHERAPEUTICS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(unaudited)**

**1.             Basis of Presentation**

The unauditedfinancial statements of Allos Therapeutics, Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company,”“we,” “us” or “our”) included herein reflect all adjustments, consisting onlyof normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management arenecessary to fairly state our financial position, results of operations andcash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnotedisclosures normally included in audited financial information prepared inaccordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Statesof America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities andExchange Commission’s rules and regulations. Operating results for the three and six month ended June 30, 2006 arenot necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the yearending December 31, 2006. These financial statements should be read inconjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto which areincluded in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,2005 for a broader discussion of our business and the opportunities and risksinherent in such business.

Sinceour inception in 1992, we have not generated any revenue and our activitieshave consisted primarily of developing products, licensing products, raisingcapital and recruiting personnel. Accordingly, we are considered to be in thedevelopment stage as of June 30, 2006 as defined in Statement of FinancialAccounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, *Accountingand Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.*

We haveexperienced significant net losses and negative cash flows since our inception.We have incurred these net losses principally from costs incurred in ourresearch and development programs and from our general and administrativeexpenses. We expect to continue incurring net losses and negative cash flowsfor the foreseeable future.  Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability is dependent on our ability,alone or with partners, to successfully complete the development of our productcandidates, conduct clinical trials, obtain the necessary regulatory approvals,and manufacture and market our product candidates.

Based upon the currentstatus of our product development plans and our plans for anticipatedcommercialization of EFAPROXYN, we believe that our existing cash, cashequivalents, and investments in marketable securities will be adequate tosatisfy our capital needs through at least 12 months from the date of thisfiling.  However, our forecast of theperiod of time through which our financial resources will be adequate tosupport our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks anduncertainties, and actual results could vary materially.  We anticipate continuing our currentdevelopment programs and beginning other long-term development projectsinvolving our product candidates. These projects may require many years and substantialexpenditures to complete and may ultimately be unsuccessful. Therefore, we mayneed to obtain additional funds from outside sources to continue research anddevelopment activities, fund operating expenses, pursue regulatory approvalsand build sales and marketing capabilities, as necessary.  Our actual capital requirements will dependon many factors, including:

·                  thestatus of our product development programs;

·                  thetime and cost involved in conducting clinical trials and obtaining regulatoryapprovals;

·                  thetime and cost involved in filing, prosecuting and enforcing patent claims;

·                  competingtechnological and market developments; and

·                  ourability to market and distribute our future products and establish newcollaborative and licensing arrangements.

We will berequired to raise additional capital to support our future operations,including commercialization of EFAPROXYN in the event we obtain regulatoryapproval to market EFAPROXYN for the treatment of patients with brainmetastases originating from breast cancer. We may seek to obtain thisadditional capital through arrangements with corporate partners, equity or debtfinancings, or from other sources.  Sucharrangements, if successfully consummated, may be dilutive to our existingstockholders.  However, there is noassurance that we will be successful in consummating any such arrangements. Inaddition, in the event that additional funds are obtained through arrangementswith collaborative partners or other sources, such arrangements may require usto relinquish rights to some of our technologies, product candidates orproducts under development that we would otherwise seek to develop orcommercialize ourselves. If we are unable to generate meaningful amounts ofrevenue from future product sales, if any, or cannot otherwise raise sufficientadditional funds to support our operations, we may be required to delay, reducethe scope of or eliminate one or more of our development programs and ourbusiness and future prospects for revenue and profitability may be harmed.

**3.             Stock-Based Compensation**

We adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), *Share-Based Payment* (“SFAS 123R”) effective January 1, 2006.Under the provisions of SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation is measured at thegrant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expenseover the required service period of the award. Prior to the adoption of SFAS123R, we accounted for grants of stock-based awards according to AccountingPrinciples Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25,*Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees* (“APB 25”) and relatedInterpretations.

In March 2005, the Securities and ExchangeCommission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) relatingto SFAS 123R. We applied the provisions of SAB 107 in connection with ouradoption of SFAS 123R. We adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospectivetransition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard asof January 1, 2006, the first day of our fiscal year 2006. Our financialstatements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 reflectthe impact of SFAS 123R. In accordance with the modified prospective method,our financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect,and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123R.

**Prior tothe Adoption of SFAS 123R**

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, we provided thedisclosures required under SFAS No. 123, *Accounting for Stock-BasedCompensation* (“SFAS 123”), as amended by SFAS No. 148, *Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosures*.The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net loss attributableto common stockholders and net loss per share if we had applied the fair valuerecognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based compensation for the threeand six months ended June 30, 2005:

The followingweighted-average assumptions were used in estimating the pro forma stock-basedcompensation expense under SFAS 123 for the three and six months ended June 30,2005: an expected dividend yield of 0%; an expected stock price volatility of83% and 84%, respectively; an expected life of 5.0 and 4.2 years, respectively;and a risk free interest rate of 3.8%.

**Impactof the adoption of SFAS 123R**

In accordance with the modified prospective method ofSFAS 123R, we recognized total stock-based compensation expense of $1,203,830and $1,685,172 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006,respectively.  We did not recognize arelated tax benefit during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.  Hadwe recognized equity-based compensation in accordance with the provisions ofAPB 25 and related Interpretations instead of SFAS 123R for the three and sixmonths ended June 30, 2006, stock-based compensation expense would have been$337,000 and $439,000, respectively, and our net loss per share would have been$0.11 and $0.23, respectively, on a basic and fully-diluted basis.  The following table summarizes thecomponents of stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June30, 2006, and our unrecognized compensation expense as of June 30, 2006, net ofestimated forfeitures, including the weighted-average years over which thecompensation expense will be recognized:

*Outstanding and Unvested Stock-Based Awards as ofDecember 31, 2005*

For stock-based awards that were outstanding andunvested as of December 31, 2005, we had an unrecorded deferred stock-basedcompensation balance of $851,511, as calculated under the provisions of SFAS123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures. In our pro forma disclosures priorto the adoption of SFAS 123R, we accounted for forfeitures upon occurrence.SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revisedif necessary in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from thoseestimates.  Accordingly, as of January 1, 2006, we estimated that thestock-based compensation for the awards not expected to vest was $137,093, andtherefore, the unrecorded deferred stock-based compensation balance related tostock options outstanding and unvested as of December 31, 2005 was adjusted to$714,418 after estimated forfeitures. During the three and six months endedJune 30, 2006, we recorded stock-based compensation related to these awards of$133,354 and $280,280, respectively.  As of June 30, 2006, the unrecordeddeferred stock-based compensation balance related to outstanding and unvestedstock options as of December 31, 2005 was $434,138 and will be recognized overan estimated weighted-average amortization period of 1.0 year.

*Stock-Based Awards granted and modified during thesix months ended June 30, 2006*

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we granted2,623,343 stock options with an estimated total grant-date fair value of$4,654,948.  Of this amount, we estimated that the stock-basedcompensation for the awards not expected to vest was 

8

----

$405,462.   During the three and six monthsended June 30, 2006, we recorded stock-based compensation related to theseawards of $591,232 and $811,931, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, the unrecorded deferred stock-based compensationbalance related to stock options was $3,437,555 and will be recognized over anestimated weighted-average amortization period of 1.5 years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we enteredinto a Separation Agreement with our former President and Chief ExecutiveOfficer, Michael E. Hart, as described in Note 5 below, pursuant to which wemodified the terms of certain stock options held by Mr. Hart to extend theexercise period of the options beyond the original terms of the stock options.We have accounted for the modifications to these options in accordance withSFAS 123R and Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) InterpretationNo. 44,*Accounting for CertainTransactions Involving Stock Compensation*, and recorded a one-timestock-based compensation charge of $413,320 during the six months ended June30, 2006.

*ValuationAssumptions*

For stock optionsgranted during the six months ended June 30, 2006, the majority vest accordingto the following schedule: 25% of the shares subject to the award vest one yearafter the date of grant, and the remaining 75% of the shares subject to theaward vest in equal monthly installments thereafter over the next three years,until all such shares are vested and exercisable. Any unearned stock-basedcompensation calculated according to SFAS 123R is amortized over the vestingperiod of the individual options in accordance with FASB InterpretationNo. 28,*Accounting for StockAppreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option and Award Plans*(“FIN 28”). The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options,as determined under SFAS 123R, granted during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2006 was $1.91 and $1.79 per share, respectively.  The fair value of stock options granted toour employees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was estimatedon the date of each grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model usingthe following weighted-average assumptions:

·                  Anexpected dividend yield of 0% as we do not expect to pay dividends during theexpected life of these awards;

·                  Anexpected stock price volatility of 80% and 81%, respectively, determined usingour historical stock volatility over the period equal to the expected life ofeach award;

·                  Anexpected life of 3.9 years, determined by factoring the different vestingperiods of each award in combination with our employees’ expected exercisebehavior; and

·                  Arisk-free interest rate of 4.9% and 4.7%, respectively, based on U.S. Treasuryzero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of eachaward.

**StockOptions**

During 1995, ourBoard of Directors terminated the 1992 Stock Plan (the “1992 Plan”) and adoptedthe 1995 Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Plan”). The 1995 Plan was amended andrestated in 1997. Termination of the 1992 Plan had no effect on the optionsoutstanding under that plan, as they were assumed under the 1995 Plan. Underthe 1995 Plan, we could grant fixed and performance-based stock options, andstock appreciation rights to officers, employees, consultants and directors.The stock options were intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” underSection 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, unless specifically designatedas non-qualifying stock options or unless exceeding the applicable statutorylimit.

During 2000,concurrent with our initial public offering, the Board of Directors suspendedthe 1995 Plan and adopted the Allos Therapeutics, Inc. 2000 StockIncentive Compensation Plan (the “2000 Plan”). The 2000 Plan provides for thegranting of stock options similar to the terms of the 1995 Plan as describedabove. Any shares remaining for future option grants and any future cancellationsof options from our 1995 Plan will be available for future grant under the 2000Plan. Suspension of the 1995 Plan had no effect on the options outstandingunder the 1995 Plan. Under the 2000 Plan, we are authorized to increase thenumber of shares of common stock that shall be available annually on the firstday of each fiscal year beginning in 2001 in an amount equal to the lesser of440,000 shares or 2% of the adjusted average common shares outstanding used tocalculate fully diluted earning per share as reported in our Annual Report toStockholders for the preceding year, or alternatively, by any lesser amountdetermined by our Board of Directors. On December 21, 2005, ourstockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the 2000 Plan to:(i) increase the aggregate number of shares of common stock authorized forissuance under the 2000 Plan by 3,500,000 shares and (ii) provide that thenumber of shares of common stock that may be granted under the 2000 Plan to anyone employee during any calendar year cannot exceed 2,000,000 shares.

InJanuary 2002, our Board of Directors approved the AllosTherapeutics, Inc. 2002 Broad Based Equity Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”).Under the 2002 Plan, we are authorized to issue up to 1.0 million shares ofcommon stock to employees, consultants and members of the Board of Directors.Under the terms of the 2002 Plan, the aggregate number of shares underlyingstock awards to officers and directors once employed by us cannot exceed49 percent of the number of shares underlying all stock awards granted, asdetermined on certain specific dates. The 2002 Plan will terminate onJanuary 7, 2012.

In June2006, our Board of Directors approved the Allos Therapeutics, Inc. 2006Inducement Award Plan (the “2006 Plan”).  Under the 2006 Plan, we may issue an aggregateof up to 1.5 million shares of our common stock pursuant to equity awards,including the grant of nonstatutory stock options, stock grant awards, stockpurchase awards, stock unit awards and other forms of equity compensation.  We may grant awards under the 2006 Plan onlyto persons not previously an employee or director of the Company, or followinga *bona fide* period ofnon-employment, as an inducement material to such individual’s entering intoemployment with the Company and to provide incentives for such persons to exertmaximum efforts for the Company’s success.

As of June 30,2006, we had a total of 3,699,663 shares of common stock available for grantunder the 2000, 2002 and 2006 Plans.  The1995, 2000, 2002 and 2006 Plans provide for appropriate adjustments in thenumber of shares reserved and outstanding options in the event of certainchanges to our outstanding common stock by reason of merger, recapitalization,stock split or other similar events. Options granted under the Plans may beexercised for a period of not more than 10 years from the date of grant orany shorter period as determined by our Board of Directors. Options vest asdetermined by the Board of Directors, generally over a period of two to fouryears, subject to acceleration under certain events. The exercise price of anyincentive stock option granted under the Plans must equal or exceed the fairmarket value of our common stock on the date of grant, or 110% of the fairmarket value per share in the case of a 10% or greater stockholder.

The followingtable summarizes our stock option activity and related information for the1995, 2000, 2002 and 2006 Plans as of and for the six months ended June 30,2006:

The aggregateintrinsic value in the tables above represents the total pretax intrinsicvalue, based on our closing stock price of $3.50 as of June 30, 2006, whichwould have been received by the option holders had all option holders within-the-money options exercised their options as of that date.  The total number of in-the-money optionsexercisable as of June 30, 2006 was 1,661,917. The total fair value of options vested during the three months endedJune 30, 2006 was approximately $411,000.

The totalintrinsic value of options exercised during the three and six months ended June30, 2006 was $172,559 and $173,659, respectively.  The total cash received from employees as aresult of employee stock option exercises during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2006 was $80,051 and $82,331, respectively.  We settle employee stock option exerciseswith newly issued common shares.  No taxbenefits were realized by us in connection with these exercises during thethree and six months ended June 30, 2006 as we maintain net operating losscarryforwards and we have established a valuation allowance against the entiretax benefit as of June 30, 2006.  Nostock compensation expense was capitalized on the Balance Sheet as of June 30,2006.

**RestrictedStock**

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we granted 110,000and 410,000 shares of restricted stock, respectively.  The shares of restricted stock will vest infour equal annual installments.  As ofJune 30, 2006, 410,000 shares

of restricted stock were outstanding and no shares were vested.  The weighted-average grant-date fair valueper share for restricted stock awards granted during the three and six monthsended June 30, 2006 was equal to $3.13 and $3.14 per share, respectively, andwas based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on thedates of the awards.

**EmployeeStock Purchase Plan**

OnFebruary 28, 2001, our Board of Directors approved the AllosTherapeutics, Inc. 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Purchase Plan”),which was also approved by our stockholders on April 17, 2001. Under thePurchase Plan, we are authorized to issue up to 2,500,000 shares of commonstock to qualified employees. Qualified employees can choose to have up to10 percent of their annual base earnings withheld to purchase shares ofour common stock during each offering period. The purchase price of the commonstock is 85% of the lower of the fair market value of a share of common stockon the first day of the offering or the fair market value of a share of commonstock on the last day of the purchase period. We sold 32,189, 36,393, 26,675and 15,346 shares of common stock to employees in 2003, 2004, 2005, and duringthe six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.  There were 2,352,726 shares available forsale under the Purchase Plan at June 30, 2006. The Purchase Plan will terminateon February 27, 2011.  We recognizedstock-based compensation expense in connection with the Purchase Plan for thethree and six months ended June 30, 2006 of $7,017 and $14,034, respectively.The weighted-average estimated grant date fair value of purchase awards underthe Purchase Plan during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $0.98per share, and was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions:an expected dividend yield of 0%; an expected stock price volatility of 55%; anexpected life of 1.2 years; and a risk-free interest rate of 4.7%.

**4.             Net Loss Per Share**

Basic net loss pershare is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholdersfor the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstandingduring the period and diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effectto all dilutive potential common stock, including options, restricted stock andwarrants.

Diluted net lossper share for all periods presented is the same as basic net loss per sharebecause the potential common shares were anti-dilutive due to our net loss.Anti-dilutive common shares not included in the calculation of diluted sharesoutstanding are as follows:

**5.             Restructuring and Separation Costs**

InJanuary 2005, we executed agreements to sublease approximatelythree-quarters of the 12,708 square feet of excess space in our corporateoffices located in Westminster, Colorado. The term of each sublease agreementis through the term of our office lease, or October 31, 2008. The totalrental payments to us under the sublease agreements are approximately $230,000.Because our obligations under our primary lease are in excess of the sum of theactual and expected sublease rental payments for this excess space, we recordeda lease abandonment charge of $380,086 during the six months ended June 30,2005. As of June 30, 2006, the remaining liability of $159,386 relating to thislease abandonment charge is recorded in accrued restructuring and separationcosts.

**6.             Commitments and Contingencies**

*Commitments*

In June 2005, weentered into a manufacturing agreement with Hovione Inter Limited (“Hovione”)covering the supply of EFAPROXYN bulk drug substance, or efaproxiralsodium.  Under the terms of the agreement, we are required to purchase anegotiated percentage of our annual requirements for efaproxiral sodium fromHovione.  We must also meet annual minimum purchase requirements ofefaproxiral sodium from Hovione equal to $2,000,000 in 2006, $3,500,000 in2007, $5,000,000 in 2008, and $5,000,000 in each year thereafter through theend of the term of the agreement.  In the event that we do not meet theseannual minimum purchase requirements, we have the option to pay extension feesto move the annual requirements out by a total of three years.  Theseextension fees are equal to $100,000 for a first extension, $150,000 for asecond extension, and $200,000 for a third and final extension, if necessary. Purchasesunder this agreement are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchangerates. The agreement has a term of seven years following our receipt ofapproval, if any, from the United States Food and Drug Administration to marketEFAPROXYN in the United States.  The Company and Hovione each havecustomary termination rights, including termination for material breach orother events relating to insolvency or bankruptcy.  In addition, we mayterminate the agreement at any time if we decide to discontinue development or,if approved, marketing of EFAPROXYN.

InDecember 2002, we entered into a license agreement with MemorialSloan-Kettering Cancer Center, SRI International and Southern ResearchInstitute, under which we obtained exclusive worldwide rights to severalpatents and equivalent foreign patent applications to develop and market anyproduct derived from PDX in connection with all diagnostic and therapeuticuses, including human and veterinary diseases. 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 makecertain additional cash payments based upon the achievement of certain clinicaldevelopment or regulatory milestones or the passage of certain timeperiods.  To date, we have made aggregatemilestone payments of $1.0 million based on the passage of time.  In the future, we could make aggregatemilestone payments of $2.0 million upon the earlier of achievement of aclinical development milestone or the passage of certain time periods (the “ClinicalMilestone”), and up to $10 million upon achievement of certain regulatorymilestones, including regulatory approval to market PDX in the United States orEurope.  The next scheduled payment of$500,000 toward the Clinical Milestone is due in December 2006.  This and subsequent payments will be expensedas incurred.  Under the terms of theagreement, we are required to fund all development programs and will have soleresponsibility for all commercialization activities.  In addition, we will pay the licensors aroyalty based on a percentage of net revenues arising from sales of the productor sublicense revenues arising from sublicensing the product, if and when suchsales or sublicenses occur.  As of June30, 2006, no royalty payments have been made or accrued.

In December 2004, we entered into an agreement withthe University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, the University of Salfordand Cancer Research Technology, under which we obtained exclusive worldwiderights to certain intellectual property surrounding a proprietary moleculeknown as RH1. Under the terms of the agreement, we paid up-front license fee of$190,500 upon execution of the agreement and are also required to make certainadditional cash payments based upon the achievement of certain clinicaldevelopment, regulatory and commercialization milestones.  To date, we have not made any milestonepayments under the agreement.  In thefuture, we could make aggregate milestone payments of up to $9.2 million uponthe achievement of the clinical development, regulatory and commercializationmilestones 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 or will be

recorded to research and development expense whenincurred.  Under the terms of theagreement and related data option agreement, Cancer Research UK, CRT’s parentinstitution, will continue to support an ongoing Phase 1 dose escalation study,and we will have the right to obtain an exclusive license to the results of thestudy, for use in subsequent development and regulatory activities, uponpayment of a one-time data option fee of $360,000.  Upon completion of the Phase 1 study, we willassume responsibility for all future development costs and activities and willhave sole responsibility for all commercialization activities.  In addition, we will pay the licensors aroyalty based on a percentage of net revenues arising from sales of the productor sublicense revenues arising from sublicensing the product, if and when suchsales or sublicenses occur.  As of June30, 2006, no royalty payments have been made or accrued.

*Contingencies*

The Company and one of its former officers were namedas defendants in a purported securities class action lawsuit filed inMay 2004 in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado(the “District Court”). An amended complaint was filed in August 2004. Thelawsuit was brought on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of oursecurities during the period from May 29, 2003 to April 29, 2004, andsought unspecified damages relating to the issuance of allegedly false andmisleading statements regarding EFAPROXYN during this period and subsequentdeclines in our stock price. On October 20, 2005, the District Courtgranted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice. In anopinion dated October 20, 2005, the District Court concluded that theplaintiff’s complaint failed to meet the legal requirements applicable to itsalleged claims.

On November 20, 2005, the plaintiff appealed theDistrict Court’s decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit(the “Court of Appeals”). We believe the plaintiff’s claims are without merit,and intend to vigorously defend against the plaintiff’s appeal. However, aswith any litigation proceeding, we cannot predict with certainty the eventualoutcome of the litigation. If the Court of Appeals reverses the District Court’sdecision and we are not successful in our defense of such claims, we could beforced to make significant payments to the plaintiffs, and such payments couldhave a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and cash flows to the extent such payments are not covered by ourinsurance carriers. Even if our defense against such claims is successful, thelitigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attentionand resources, which could adversely affect our business. This lawsuit has beentendered to our insurance carriers.

We enter intoindemnification provisions under our agreements with other companies in ourordinary course of business, typically with business partners, contractors,clinical sites and suppliers. Under these provisions we generally indemnify andhold harmless the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by theindemnified party as a result of our activities or the use of our productcandidates. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination ofthe underlying agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments wecould be required to make under these indemnification provisions is unlimited.We have not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relatedto these indemnification agreements. The estimated fair value of theindemnification provisions of these agreements is minimal as of June 30, 2006,and accordingly, we have no corresponding liabilities recorded as of June 30,2006.

**Overview**

AllosTherapeutics, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developingand commercializing innovative small molecule drugs for improving the treatmentof cancer. Small molecule drugs, in general, are non-protein products producedby chemical synthesis rather than biological methods. We strive to developdrugs that improve the treatment of cancer and enhance the power of currenttherapies. Our goal is to build a profitable company by generating income fromproducts we develop and commercialize, either alone or together with one ormore potential strategic partners. Our focus is on product opportunities thatleverage our internal clinical development and regulatory expertise and addressimportant medical markets. We may also endeavor from time to time to growour existing portfolio of product candidates through product acquisition andin-licensing efforts.

Since ourinception in 1992, we have not generated any revenue from product sales and wehave experienced significant net losses and negative cash flows. We haveincurred these losses principally from costs incurred in our research anddevelopment programs and from our general and administrative expenses. Weexpect to continue incurring net losses and negative cash flows for theforeseeable future.  Our ability togenerate revenue and achieve profitability is dependent on our ability, aloneor with partners, to successfully complete the development of our productcandidates, conduct clinical trials, obtain the necessary regulatory approvals,and manufacture and market our product candidates.

We have threeproduct candidates that are currently under development: EFAPROXYN(efaproxiral), PDX (pralatrexate) and RH1.

·                  EFAPROXYN is thefirst synthetic small molecule designed to sensitize hypoxic, oroxygen-deprived, areas of tumors during radiation therapy by facilitating therelease of oxygen from hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein contained withinred blood cells, and increasing the level of oxygen in tumors. The presence ofoxygen in tumors is an essential element for the effectiveness of radiationtherapy. By increasing tumor oxygenation, we believe EFAPROXYN has thepotential to enhance the efficacy of standard radiation therapy.

In December 2003, we submitted a New DrugApplication, or NDA, to the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA,for approval to market EFAPROXYN in the United States as an adjunct to wholebrain radiation therapy, or WBRT, for the treatment of patients with brainmetastases originating from breast cancer. The NDA was based on the findingsfrom our randomized, open label Phase 3 clinical trial of EFAPROXYN inpatients with brain metastases, called REACH, which demonstrated astatistically significant survival benefit in patients with brain metastasesoriginating from breast cancer, a subgroup of patients that was notprospectively defined as an intent-to-treat subgroup. The results from theREACH trial were announced in April 2003. In May 2004, the FDA’s 

15

----

 

Oncologic Drug Advisory Committee reviewed the NDA andvoted not to recommend approval of EFAPROXYN for this indication based on thedata from the REACH trial. However, in June 2004, the FDA issued an “approvableletter” in which it indicated that the NDA may be approved if wesuccessfully complete our ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial of EFAPROXYN inpatients with brain metastases originating from breast cancer and submit theresults as a NDA amendment for the FDA’s review. In the letter, the FDA stated,“if the study shows effectiveness in this population (increased survival) usingthe pre specified analysis, and the study is otherwise satisfactory, we believeit would, together with the subset result in the [REACH trial], supportapproval.”

The ongoing Phase 3 trial referenced in the FDA’sapprovable letter was initiated in February 2004. This pivotalPhase 3 trial, which is called ENRICH (ENhancing whole brain Radiationtherapy In patients with breast Cancer and Hypoxic brain metastases), isseeking to enroll approximately 360 patients at up to 125 cancer centers acrossNorth America, Europe and South America. We currently expect to complete patient enrollment in the trial by thethird quarter of 2006.  The primaryendpoint of the trial will measure the difference in survival between patientsreceiving WBRT plus supplemental oxygen, with or without EFAPROXYN. Anindependent Data Monitoring Committee, or DMC, will provide an expert review ofcumulative data from the trial to determine, at an upcoming second interimanalysis, if sufficient evidence exists to stop the trial early due tooverwhelming evidence of improved survival in the EFAPROXYN arm.  In March 2006, the DMC completed thefirst planned interim analysis of data from ENRICH and recommended that thetrial continue per the protocol. This first interim review was triggered by theoccurrence of 94 patient deaths and was based upon an evaluation of patientsrandomized through February 14, 2006. In order to protect the integrity of the trial, the results of theefficacy analysis were not made available to the Company; however, no majorpatient safety concerns were identified by the DMC.  The DMC will perform the second interimanalysis of the primary endpoint at its first scheduled meeting following theoccurrence 188 patient deaths, which we currently expect to occur in the secondhalf of 2006.  We will perform thefinal analysis of both the primary and secondary endpoints, if necessary,following the occurrence of 281 patient deaths, which we currently expect tooccur in mid 2007.  A number of factorswill influence the actual timing of the second interim and final analyses,including patient accrual rates and individual survival rates.

In June 2004, we filed a Marketing AuthorizationApplication, or MAA, with the European Medicines Agency, or EMEA, for approvalto market EFAPROXYN in Europe as an adjunct to WBRT for the treatment ofpatients with brain metastases originating from breast cancer. As with our NDA,the MAA was based on the findings from the REACH trial. On October 11,2005, we withdrew the MAA as a result of the Rapporteurs’ Day 180 JointAssessment Report, which concluded that the existing data package was notsufficient to support approval. Although we can provide no assurances, webelieve that our ongoing ENRICH trial, if positive, together with othersupporting data, should allow us to address the EMEA’s concerns regardingEFAPROXYN and provide the additional data necessary to support the filing of anew MAA and the future approval of EFAPROXYN in Europe for the treatment ofpatients with brain metastases originating from breast cancer.

In August 2004, the FDA awarded orphan drugstatus to EFAPROXYN for use as an adjunct to WBRT for the treatment of patientswith brain metastases originating from breast cancer. The FDA may awardorphan drug designation to drugs that target conditions affecting 200,000 orfewer patients per year in the United States and provide a significanttherapeutic advantage over existing treatments. The orphan drug designationprovides for marketing exclusivity in the United States for seven yearsfollowing marketing approval by the FDA.

In addition to the Phase 3 ENRICH trial, we arecurrently enrolling patients in the following clinical trials involvingEFAPROXYN:

·                  a Phase 1clinical trial in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer, orNSCLC, receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy (chemotherapy and radiationtherapy administered at the same time) in combination with EFAPROXYN; and

·                  aPhase 1b/2 clinical trial of EFAPROXYN in patients with locally advancedcancer of the cervix receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

·                  **PDX** is a small molecule chemotherapeutic agent that inhibitsdihydrofolate reductase, or DHFR, a folic acid (folate)-dependent enzymeinvolved in the building of nucleic acid, or DNA, and other processes. Certainpreclinical data suggests that PDX has an enhanced potency and toxicity profilerelative to methotrexate and other related DHFR inhibitors. Drugs that inhibitDHFR, such as methotrexate, were among the first antifolate chemotherapeuticagents discovered. Methotrexate remains one of the most widely appliedantifolate chemotherapeutics and has been used to treat leukemia, breast, bladder,gastric, esophageal, head, and neck cancers. We believe PDX has the potentialto be delivered as a single agent or in combination therapy regimens.

In December 2005, we announced the presentationof interim results from our ongoing Phase 1/2 single-agent study of PDX inpatients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and Hodgkin’sdisease, which is currently being conducted at Memorial Sloan Kettering CancerCenter. The interim results, which were presented at the 2005 American Society ofHematology Annual Meeting, demonstrated preliminary evidence of PDX activity inpatients with various subtypes of T-cell lymphoma. Notably, four of sevenevaluable patients with T-cell lymphoma achieved a complete response followingtreatment with PDX, despite having failed multiple prior therapies. Moreover,the addition of vitamins to the treatment regimen also appeared to successfullymitigate the previously established dose limiting toxicity of stomatitis, ormouth ulcers.

Based on the interim results from the Phase 1/2study of PDX in patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, we plan to initiate aPhase 2, non-randomized, open-label study of PDX in patients with relapsedor refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma, or PTCL.  We currently plan to open the study forenrollment during the third quarter of 2006, and will seek to enroll 100evaluable patients at approximately 35 cancer centers across the United States,Canada and Europe.  In July 2006, wereached agreement with the FDA under the special protocol assessment, or SPA,process on the design of this pivotal Phase 2 trial.  The SPA process allows for FDA evaluation ofa clinical trial protocol intended to form the primary basis of an efficacyclaim in support of a new drug application, and provides a binding agreementthat the study design, including trial size, clinical endpoints and/or dataanalyses are acceptable to the FDA. However, the SPA agreement is not a guarantee of approval, and we cannotassure you that the design of, or data collected from this Phase 2 trial, willbe adequate to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of PDX for the treatment ofPTCL, or otherwise be sufficient to support FDA or any foreign regulatoryapproval.

In July 2006, the FDA awarded orphan drug status toPDX for the treatment of patients with T-cell lymphoma.  The orphan drug designation provides formarketing exclusivity in the United States for seven years following marketingapproval by the FDA.

We are also currently enrolling patients in a Phase 1dose escalation study of PDX with vitamin B12 and folic acid supplementation inpatients with previously treated advanced NSCLC. The determination of themaximum tolerated dose of PDX in combination with vitamin supplementation willbe essential for further development in this indication.

·                  **RH1** is a small molecule chemotherapeutic agent that webelieve is bioactivated by the enzyme DT-diaphorase, or DTD, which isover-expressed in many tumors relative to normal tissue, including lung, colon,breast and liver tumors. Because RH1 is bioactivated in the presence of DTD, webelieve it has the potential to provide targeted drug delivery to these tumortypes while limiting the toxicity to normal tissue. RH1 has undergone in vivoefficacy testing by the Developmental Therapeutics Program of the NationalCancer Institute and has demonstrated significant activity in both NSCLC andovarian xenograft models.

RH1 is currently being evaluated in patients withadvanced solid tumors refractory to other chemotherapy regimens in an openlabel, Phase 1 dose escalation study to test the safety, tolerability andpharmacokinetics of escalating doses of RH1. During the second quarter of 2006, we completed patient enrollment inthis study.  Once the last patient hascompleted treatment, the Company will evaluate results from the study todetermine future development plans.

**Resultsof Operations**

*Researchand Development.* Research and development expensesinclude the costs of certain personnel, basic research, nonclinical studies,clinical trials, regulatory affairs, biostatistical data analysis, patents andlicensing fees for new products.

Research anddevelopment expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006 were$2.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The $700,000 increase in research and development expenses for the threemonths ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005 was primarilydue to the following:

·                  $169,000increase in clinical trial costs due to increased patient enrollment in severalof our clinical trials;

·                  $162,000increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense due to the adoption ofaccounting rules related to stock-based compensation on January 1,2006;

·                  $133,000increase in personnel costs due to increases in headcount; and

·                  $126,000increase in nonclinical study costs related to PDX.

17

----

 

Research anddevelopment expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006 were $5.0million and $6.8 million, respectively. The $1.8 million increase in research and development expenses for thesix months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005 wasprimarily due to the following:

·                  $954,000increase in our Phase 3 ENRICH trial costs due to increased patient enrollment;

·                  $313,000increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense due to the adoption ofaccounting rules related to stock-based compensation on January 1,2006;

·                  $238,000increase in personnel costs due to increases in headcount; and

·                  $188,000increase in nonclinical studies costs related to PDX.

For the remainderof 2006, we expect our average quarterly research and development expenses toincrease moderately relative to the amount recorded for the three months endedJune 30, 2006 primarily due to the following:

·                  anincrease in licensing fees relating to a $500,000 milestone payment due inDecember 2006 under our license agreement for PDX;

·                  anincrease in nonclinical study costs for PDX; and

·                  an increase inclinical trial costs related to our planned Phase 2 trial of PDX in patientswith PTCL, which we currently plan to initiate during the third quarter of2006.  The amount and timing of the costsrelated to our clinical trials is difficult to predict due to the uncertaintyinherent in the timing of clinical trial initiations, the rate of patientenrollment and the detailed design of future trials.

*ClinicalManufacturing.* Clinical manufacturing expenses includethe costs of certain personnel, third party manufacturing costs for EFAPROXYNfor use in clinical trials, costs associated with pre-commercial scale-up ofmanufacturing to support anticipated commercial requirements, and developmentactivities for clinical trial and nonclinical studies material for PDX.

Clinicalmanufacturing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006were $268,000 and $391,000, respectively. The $123,000 increase in clinical manufacturing expenses for the threemonths ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005 was primarilydue to the following:

·                  $77,000increase in third-party manufacturing costs, primarily due to increases in oursupply of PDX bulk drug substance and formulated drug product to support ourrequirements for future PDX clinical trials and nonclinical studies; and

·                  $29,000 increasein non-cash stock-based compensation expense due to the adoption of accountingrules related to stock-based compensation on January 1, 2006.

Clinicalmanufacturing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006were $628,000 and $952,000, respectively. The $324,000 increase in clinical manufacturing expenses for the sixmonths ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005 was primarilydue to the following:

·                  $262,000increase in third-party manufacturing costs, primarily due to increases in oursupply of PDX bulk drug substance and formulated drug product to support ourrequirements for future PDX clinical trials and nonclinical studies; and

·                  $53,000 increasein non-cash stock-based compensation expense due to the adoption of accountingrules related to stock-based compensation on January 1, 2006.

For the remainderof 2006, we expect our average quarterly clinical manufacturing expenses toincrease moderately relative to the amount recorded for the three months endedJune 30, 2006 primarily due to increases in third-party manufacturingcosts for PDX.

*Marketing,General and Administrative.* Marketing, general andadministrative expenses include costs for pre-marketing activities, corporatedevelopment, executive administration, and corporate offices and relatedinfrastructure.

Marketing, generaland administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006were $2.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively.  The $1.1 million increase in marketing,general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2006 ascompared to the same period in 2005 was primarily due to the following:

·                  $541,000increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense due to the adoption ofaccounting rules related to stock-based compensation on January 1,2006;

·                  $259,000increase in personnel costs, mainly attributable to increases in compensationcosts year over year and additional headcount;

18

----

 

·                  $131,000increase in legal costs for general corporate matters; and

·                  $113,000increase in facilities costs.

Marketing, generaland administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and2006 were $4.8 million and $6.7 million, respectively.  The $1.9 million increase in marketing,general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2006 ascompared to the same period in 2005 was primarily due to the following:

·                  $863,000increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense due to the adoption ofaccounting rules related to stock-based compensation on January 1,2006;

·                  $680,000increase in personnel costs, mainly attributable to increases in compensationcosts year over year, additional headcount, and recruiting costs of $236,000for our new President and Chief Executive Officer;

·                  $149,000increase in consulting costs; and

·                  $94,000 increasein legal costs for general corporate matters.

For the remainderof 2006, we expect our average quarterly marketing, general and administrativeexpenses to remain relatively stable to the amount recorded for the threemonths ended June 30, 2006.

*Restructuringand Separation Costs.*Restructuring and separation costs forthe six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006 were $380,000 and $646,000,respectively.

InJanuary 2005, we executed agreements to sublease approximatelythree-quarters of the 12,708 square feet of excess space in our corporateoffices located in Westminster, Colorado. The term of each sublease agreementis through the term of our office lease, or October 31, 2008.  The total rental payments to us under thesublease agreements are approximately $230,000. Because our obligations under our primary lease were in excess of thesum of the actual and expected sublease rental payments for this excess space,we recorded a lease abandonment charge of $380,086 in restructuring andseparation costs during the six months ended June 30, 2005. As of June 30,2006, the remaining liability of $159,386 relating to this lease abandonmentcharge is recorded in accrued restructuring and separation costs.

In January 2006, Michael E. Hart notified ourBoard of Directors of his intent to resign from his positions as President,Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company once asuccessor Chief Executive Officer was appointed. On March 3, 2006, weentered into a separation agreement with Mr. Hart to provide certain incentivesfor his continued employment with the Company while we conducted our search forhis successor.  On March 9, 2006, weappointed Paul L. Berns as our President, Chief Executive Officer and a memberof the Board of Directors and Mr. Hart resigned from his positions inaccordance with the terms of the separation agreement. The separation agreementwith Mr. Hart was amended on March 9, 2006, and on May 10, 2006(as so amended, the “Separation Agreement”). Pursuant to the SeparationAgreement, Mr. Hart is entitled to certain payments and benefits from theCompany, as further described in Note 5 to our Financial Statementsincluded in Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

We recorded separation costs of $645,666 during thesix months ended June 30, 2006 relating to our estimate of our totalobligations under the Separation Agreement with Mr. Hart. As of June 30,2006, the remaining liability of $631,979 relating to the Separation Agreementwith Mr. Hart is recorded in accrued restructuring and separation costs.

*Interestand Other Income, Net*. Interest income, net of interestexpense, for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006 was $507,000 and$488,000, respectively.  Interest income,net of interest expense, for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006 was $717,000and $992,000, respectively.  The $275,000increase in net interest income in the six months ended June 30, 2006 ascompared to the same period in 2005 was primarily due to higher yields onUnited States government securities, high-grade commercial paper and corporatenotes, and money market funds.

**Liquidityand Capital Resources**

Our cash, cashequivalents, and short-term investments in marketable securities amounted to$43.5 million at June 30, 2006. Since our inception, we have financed ouroperations primarily through the private and public sale of securities, whichhave resulted in net proceeds to us of $199.4 million through June 30, 2006. Wehave also generated approximately $17.4 million of net interest incomesince our inception from investing the net proceeds of these financings.

We have used$151.2 million of cash for operating activities from our inception through June30, 2006. Net cash used to fund our operating activities for the six monthsended June 30, 2005 and 2006 was $10.6 million and $11.6 million,respectively.

Net cash used ininvesting activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was$36.6 million and consisted primarily of purchases of investments inmarketable securities, partially offset by the proceeds from maturities of investmentsin marketable securities.  Net cashprovided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was$14.2 million

and consistedprimarily of proceeds from maturities of investments in marketable securities,partially offset by the purchase of investments in marketable securities.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the sixmonths ended June 30, 2005 was $49.0 million and consisted of the net proceedsof the March 2005 sale of Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock, which wasexchanged for common stock in May 2005. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June30, 2006 was $111,000 and consisted of proceeds from sales of common stockassociated with stock options exercised by our employees and sales of commonstock under our employee stock purchase plan.

Based upon thecurrent status of our product development and commercialization plans, webelieve that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketablesecurities will be adequate to satisfy our capital needs through at least 12months from the date of this filing. However, our forecast of the period of time through which our financialresources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-lookingstatement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could varymaterially.  We anticipate continuing ourcurrent development programs and beginning other long-term development projectsinvolving our product candidates. These projects may require many yearsand substantial expenditures to complete and may ultimately beunsuccessful. Therefore, we may need to obtain additional funds fromoutside sources to continue research and development activities, fund operatingexpenses, pursue regulatory approvals and build sales and marketingcapabilities, as necessary. However, our actual capital requirements willdepend on many factors, including:

·                  the status of our product developmentprograms;

·                  the time and cost involved inconducting clinical trials and obtaining regulatory approvals;

·                  the time and cost involved in filing,prosecuting and enforcing patent claims;

·                  competing technological and marketdevelopments; and

·                  ourability to market and distribute our future products and establish newcollaborative and licensing arrangements.

We will berequired to raise additional capital to support our future operations,including commercialization of EFAPROXYN in the event we obtain regulatoryapproval to market EFAPROXYN for the treatment of patients with brainmetastases originating from breast cancer. We may seek to obtain thisadditional capital through arrangements with corporate partners, equity or debtfinancings, or from other sources. Such arrangements, if successfullyconsummated, may be dilutive to our existing stockholders. However, thereis no assurance that we will be successful in consummating any sucharrangements. In addition, in the event that additional funds are obtainedthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or other sources, sucharrangements may require us to relinquish rights to some of ourtechnologies, product candidates or products under development that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves. If we are unable togenerate meaningful amounts of revenue from future product sales, if any, orcannot otherwise raise sufficient additional funds to support our operations,we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or moreof our development programs and our business and future prospects for revenue andprofitability may be harmed.

Operating leaseobligations represent future minimum rental commitments for non-cancelableoperating leases for our facilities and certain office equipment, net of $170,000of remaining sublease payments that we will receive on excess space in ourcorporate offices.

License agreementobligations represent future milestone payments under our license agreement forPDX, due upon the passage of certain time periods after the effective date ofthe agreement, which could be paid earlier depending on the timing of achievinga clinical development milestone.

Purchaseobligations represent annual minimum purchase requirements for efaproxiralsodium from Hovione Inter Limited under our June 2005 ManufacturingAgreement, equal to $2,000,000 in 2006, $3,500,000 in 2007, $5,000,000 in 2008,and $5,000,000 in each year thereafter through the end of the term of theagreement (equal to the 7th anniversary ofthe date we obtain approval from the FDA to market EFAPROXYN). In the eventthat we do not meet these annual minimum purchase

requirements, wehave the option to pay extension fees to move the annual requirements out by atotal of three years. These extension fees are equal to $100,000 for a firstextension, $150,000 for a second extension, and $200,000 for a third and finalextension, if necessary. Purchases under this agreement are subject tofluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company and Hovione eachhave customary termination rights, including termination for material breach orother events relating to insolvency or bankruptcy. In addition, wemay terminate the agreement at any time if we decide to discontinuedevelopment or, if approved, marketing of EFAPROXYN.

**CriticalAccounting Policies**

Our discussion and analysis of our financial conditionand results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which havebeen prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America. The preparation of these financial statementsrequires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amountsof assets, liabilities, and expenses. We base our estimates on historicalexperience, available information and assumptions that we believe to bereasonable under the circumstances. We apply estimation methodologiesconsistently from period to period. The actual results may differ fromthese estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  Our critical accounting policies arediscussed in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of FinancialCondition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. These criticalaccounting policies are subject to judgments and uncertainties, which affectthe application of these policies. We have not made any changes in any of thesecritical accounting polices during the three months ended June 30, 2006.

*Stock-BasedCompensation*

We adoptedStatement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (Revised2004), *Share-Based Payment* (“SFAS 123R”)effective January 1, 2006. SFAS 123R establishes accounting forstock-based awards exchanged for employee services.  Under SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation ismeasured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award computed usingthe Black-Scholes option valuation model, and is recognized as expense over anemployee’s required service period. Prior to January 1, 2006, we appliedAccounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, *Accountingfor Stock Issued to Employees*, and related Interpretations andprovided the required pro forma disclosures of SFAS No. 123, *Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation*.

We elected to adopt the modified prospectiveapplication method as provided by SFAS 123R. Accordingly, during the three andsix months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded stock-based compensation costtotaling the amount that would have been recognized had the fair value methodbeen applied since January 1, 1996, the effective date of SFAS 123.  In accordance with the modified prospectivemethod, our financial statements for prior periods have not been restated toreflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123R.

During the threeand six months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded stock-based compensationexpense of $1.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively, related to stockoptions, restricted stock and our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.  As of June 30, 2006, the unrecorded deferredstock-based compensation expense balance related to these stock-based awardswas $5.0 million and will be recognized over an estimated weighted averageamortization period of 1.5 years.

Judgments andestimates must be made and used in determining the factors used in calculatingthe fair value of stock-based awards, including the expected forfeiture rate ofour stock-based awards, the expected life of our stock-based awards, and theexpected volatility of our stock price. For more information on stock-based compensation expense during thethree and six months ended June 30, 2006, refer to Note 3 “Stock-BasedCompensation” of the Notes to our Financial Statements included in Part I, Item1 of this quarterly report.

The adoption ofSFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 had a material impact on our net loss and netloss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.  We expect that our adoption of SFAS 123Rwill have a material impact on our future financial statements and results ofoperations.

*Recently Issued AccountingPronouncement*

In February 2006,the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 155, *Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments* (“SFAS155”), which amends SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140.  SFAS 155 will be effective for the Companybeginning in the first quarter of 2007. SFAS 155 permits interests in hybrid financial instruments that containan embedded derivative that would otherwise require bifurcation, to beaccounted for as a single financial instrument at fair value, with changes infair value recognized in earnings. This election is permitted on aninstrument-by-instrument basis for all hybrid financial instruments held,obtained, or issued as of the adoption date. We are assessing the impact of the adoption of SFAS 155.

**ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

We do not use derivative financial instruments in ourinvestment portfolio and have no foreign exchange contracts. Our financialinstruments consist of cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-terminvestments in marketable securities, and accounts payable. All highly liquidinvestments with original maturities of three months or less are considered tobe cash equivalents.

We invest in marketable securities in accordance withour investment policy. The primary objectives of our investment policy are topreserve principal, maintain proper liquidity to meet operating needs andmaximize yields. Our investment policy specifies credit quality standards forour investments and limits the amount of credit exposure to any single issue,issuer or type of investment. The average duration of the issues in ourportfolio as of June 30, 2006 is less than three months.  As of June 30, 2006, our investments inmarketable securities of $36.6 million are all classified asheld-to-maturity and were held in a variety of interest-bearing instruments,consisting mainly of high-grade corporate notes.

Investments infixed-rate interest-earning instruments carry varying degrees of interest raterisk. The fair market value of our fixed-rate securities may be adverselyimpacted due to a rise in interest rates. In general, securities with longermaturities are subject to greater interest-rate risk than those with shortermaturities. Due in part to this factor, our interest income may fallshort of expectations or we may suffer losses in principal if securitiesare sold that have declined in market value due to changes in interestrates.  Due to the short duration of ourinvestment portfolio, we believe an immediate 10% change in interest rateswould not be material to our financial condition or results of operations.

**ITEM 4. CONTROLSAND PROCEDURES**

As of the end ofthe period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under thesupervision and with the participation of our management, including our principalexecutive officer and principal financial officer (the “Evaluating Officers”),of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined inRule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“ExchangeAct”). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the EvaluatingOfficers, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effectiveas of June 30, 2006 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by usin reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded,processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified inSecurities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that suchinformation is accumulated and communicated to our management, including theEvaluating Officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regardingrequired disclosure.

**NoChanges in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

There were nochanges in our internal controls over financial reporting during the threemonths ended June 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonablylikely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

**PART II. OTHER INFORMATION**

**ITEM1.****                                                     LEGALPROCEEDINGS**

The Company and one of its former officers were namedas defendants in a purported securities class action lawsuit filed inMay 2004 in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado(the “District Court”). An amended complaint was filed in August 2004. Thelawsuit was brought on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of oursecurities during the period from May 29, 2003 to April 29, 2004, andsought unspecified damages relating to the issuance of allegedly false andmisleading statements regarding EFAPROXYN during this period and subsequentdeclines in our stock price. On October 20, 2005, the District Courtgranted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice. In an opiniondated October 20, 2005, the District Court concluded that the plaintiff’scomplaint failed to meet the legal requirements applicable to its allegedclaims.

On November 20, 2005, the plaintiff appealed theDistrict Court’s decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit(the “Court of Appeals”). We believe the plaintiff’s claims are without merit,and intend to vigorously defend against the plaintiff’s appeal. However, aswith any litigation proceeding, we cannot predict with certainty the eventualoutcome of the litigation. If the Court of Appeals reverses the District Court’sdecision and we are not successful in our defense of such claims, we could beforced to make significant payments to the plaintiffs, and such payments couldhave a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and cash flows to the extent such payments are not covered by ourinsurance carriers. Even if our defense against such claims is successful, thelitigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attentionand resources, which could adversely affect our business. This lawsuit has beentendered to our insurance carriers.

**ITEM 1A.****                                            RISKFACTORS**

*Aninvestment in our common stock is risky. Stockholders and potential investorsin shares of our stock should carefully consider the following risk factors,which hereby update those risks contained in the “Risk Factors” section ofour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005,in addition to other information and risk factors in this Report. We areidentifying these risk factors as important factors that could cause our actualresults to differ materially from those contained in any written or oralforward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. We are relyingupon the safe harbor for all forward-looking statements in this Report, and anysuch statements made by or on behalf of the Company are qualified by referenceto the following cautionary statements, as well as to those set forth elsewherein this Report.*

**Wehave a history of net losses and an accumulated deficit, and we may neverachieve or maintain revenue or profitability in the future.**

We have nevergenerated revenue from product sales and have experienced significant netlosses since our inception in 1992. To date, we have financed our operationsprimarily through the private and public sale of securities. For the three andsix months ended June 30, 2006, we had a net loss of $7.0 and$14.0 million, respectively.  As ofJune 30, 2006, we had accumulated a deficit of $192.4 million during ourdevelopment stage. We have incurred these net losses principally from costsincurred in our research and development programs and from our general andadministrative expenses. We expect to continue incurring net losses for theforeseeable future. Our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitabilityis dependent on our ability, alone or with partners, to successfully completethe development of our product candidates, conduct clinical trials, obtain thenecessary regulatory approvals, and manufacture and market our productcandidates. We may never generate revenue from product sales or becomeprofitable. We expect to continue to spend substantial amounts on research anddevelopment, including amounts spent on conducting clinical trials for ourproduct candidates. We may not be able to continue as a going concern ifwe are unable to generate meaningful amounts of revenue to support ouroperations or cannot otherwise raise the necessary funds to support ouroperations.

**Ourproduct candidates are in various stages of development and may never befully developed in a manner suitable for commercialization. If we do notdevelop commercially successful products, our ability to generate revenue will belimited.**

We currently haveno products that are approved for commercial sale. All of our productcandidates are in various stages of development, and significant research anddevelopment, financial resources and personnel will be required to develop commerciallyviable products and obtain regulatory approvals. We do not expect to be able tomarket any of our product candidates, including EFAPROXYN, until at least2008.  Further, certain of theindications that we are pursuing have relatively low incidence rates, whichmay make it difficult for us to enroll a sufficient number of patients inour clinical trials on a timely basis, or at all, and may limit therevenue potential of our product candidates. If we are unable to develop,receive approval for, or successfully commercialize any of our productcandidates, we may be unable to generate meaningful revenue from productsales and will incur continued net losses.

23

----

**Wecannot predict when or if we will obtain regulatory approval to commercializeour product candidates.**

A pharmaceuticalproduct cannot be marketed in the United States or most other countries untilit has completed a rigorous and extensive regulatory approval process. If wefail to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidates, we will beunable to sell our products and generate revenue, which would jeopardize ourability to continue operating our business. Satisfaction of regulatoryrequirements typically takes many years, is dependent upon the type, complexityand novelty of the product and requires the expenditure of substantialresources. Of particular significance are the requirements covering researchand development, testing, manufacturing, quality control, labeling andpromotion of drugs for human use. We may not obtain regulatory approvalfor any product candidates we develop, including EFAPROXYN and PDX, or wemay not obtain regulatory review of such product candidates in a timelymanner. For a more complete description of the regulatory approval process andrelated risks, please refer to the “Government Regulation” section ofItem 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2005.

**Ifour product candidates do not meet safety and efficacy endpoints in clinicaltrials, they will not receive regulatory approval, and we will be unable tomarket them.**

Our productcandidates may not prove to be safe and efficacious in clinical trials andmay not meet all of the applicable regulatory requirements needed toreceive regulatory approval. The clinical development and regulatory approvalprocess is extremely expensive and takes many years. Failure can occur at anystage of development, and the timing of any regulatory approval cannot beaccurately predicted. If we fail to obtain regulatory approval for our currentor future product candidates, we will be unable to market and sell them andtherefore may never generate meaningful amounts of revenue or becomeprofitable.

As part ofthe regulatory process, we must conduct clinical trials for each productcandidate to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA andother regulatory authorities abroad.  Thenumber and design of clinical trials that will be required varies depending onthe product candidate, the condition being evaluated, the trial results andregulations applicable to any particular product candidate.  The design of our clinical trials is based onmany assumptions about the expected effect of our product candidates, and ifthose assumptions prove incorrect, the clinical trials may not producestatistically significant results. Preliminary results may not beconfirmed upon full analysis of the detailed results of a trial, and priorclinical trial program designs and results may not be predictive of futureclinical trial designs or results. Product candidates in later stage clinicaltrials may fail to show the desired safety and efficacy despite havingprogressed through initial clinical trials with acceptable endpoints. If ourproduct candidates fail to show clinically significant benefits, they will notbe approved for marketing.

**Wemay experience delays in our clinical trials that could adversely affectour financial position and our commercial prospects.**

We do not knowwhen our current clinical trials, including ENRICH, will be completed, if atall. We also cannot accurately predict when other planned clinical trials,including our planned Phase 2 trial of PDX in patients with relapsed orrefractory PTCL, will begin or be completed. Many factors affect patientenrollment, including the size of the patient population, the proximity ofpatients to clinical sites, the eligibility criteria for the trial, competingclinical trials and new drugs approved for the conditions we are investigating.Other companies are conducting clinical trials and have announced plans forfuture trials that are seeking or likely to seek patients with the samediseases as those we are studying. Competition for patients in some cancertrials is particularly intense because of the limited number of leadingspecialist physicians and the geographic concentration of major clinicalcenters.

As a result of thenumerous factors which can affect the pace of progress of clinical trials, ourtrials may take longer to enroll patients than we anticipate, if they canbe completed at all. Delays in patient enrollment in the trialsmay increase our costs and slow our product development and approvalprocess. Our product development costs will also increase if we need toperform more or larger clinical trials than planned. If other companies’product candidates show favorable results, we may be required to conductadditional clinical trials to address changes in treatment regimens or for ourproducts to be commercially competitive. Any delays in completing our clinicaltrials will delay our ability to generate revenue from product sales, and wemay have insufficient capital resources to support our operations. Even ifwe do have sufficient capital resources, our ability to become profitable willbe delayed.

**While we have negotiated a specialprotocol assessment with the FDA relating to our planned Phase 2 clinical trialof PDX in patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL, this agreement does notguarantee any particular outcome from regulatory review of the study or theproduct, including any regulatory approval.**

In July 2006, wereached agreement with the FDA under the special protocol assessment, or SPA,process on the design of our planned Phase 2 trial of PDX in patients withrelapsed or refractory PTCL.  The SPAprocess allows for FDA evaluation 

24

----

of a clinicaltrial protocol intended to form the primary basis of an efficacy claim insupport of a new drug application, and provides a binding agreement that thestudy design, including trial size, clinical endpoints and/or data analyses areacceptable to the FDA.  However, the SPAagreement is not a guarantee of approval, and we cannot assure you that thedesign of, or data collected from, the Phase 2 trial will be adequate todemonstrate the safety and efficacy of PDX for the treatment of PTCL, orotherwise be sufficient to support FDA or any foreign regulatory approval.  Further, the SPA agreement is not binding onthe FDA if public health concerns unrecognized at the time the SPA agreement isentered into become evident, other new scientific concerns regarding productsafety or efficacy arise, or if we fail to comply with the agreed upon trialprotocols.  In addition, the SPAagreement may be changed by us or the FDA on written agreement of both parties,and the FDA retains significant latitude and discretion in interpreting theterms of the SPA agreement and the data and results from the Phase 2trial.  As a result, we do not know howthe FDA will interpret the parties’ respective commitments under the SPAagreement, how it will interpret the data and results from the Phase 2 trial,or whether PDX will receive any regulatory approvals as a result of the SPAagreement or the clinical trial. Therefore, despite the potential benefits of the SPA agreement,significant uncertainty remains regarding the clinical development andregulatory approval process for PDX for the treatment of PTCL.

**Wemay be required to suspend, repeat or terminate our clinical trials, ifthey are not conducted in accordance with regulatory requirements, the resultsare negative or inconclusive or the trials are not well designed.**

Clinical trialsmust be conducted in accordance with the FDA’s Good Clinical Practices and aresubject to oversight by the FDA and Institutional Review Boards at the medicalinstitutions where the clinical trials are conducted. In addition, clinicaltrials must be conducted with product candidates produced under the FDA’s GoodManufacturing Practices, and may require large numbers of test subjects.Clinical trials may be suspended by the FDA or us at any time if it isbelieved that the subjects participating in these trials are being exposed tounacceptable health risks or if the FDA finds deficiencies in the conduct ofthese trials.

Even if we achievepositive interim results in clinical trials, these results do not necessarilypredict final results, and acceptable results in early trials may not berepeated in later trials. Data obtained from preclinical and clinicalactivities are susceptible to varying interpretations that could delay, limitor prevent regulatory clearances, and the FDA can request that we conductadditional clinical trials. A number of companies in the pharmaceuticalindustry have suffered significant setbacks in advanced clinical trials, evenafter promising results in earlier trials. As a result, there can be noassurance that our ENRICH trial or Phase 2 trial of PDX in patients withrelapsed or refractory PTCL, will achieve their primary endpoints. In addition,negative or inconclusive results or adverse medical events during a clinicaltrial could cause a clinical trial to be repeated or terminated. Also, failureto construct clinical trial protocols to screen patients for risk profilefactors relevant to the trial for purposes of segregating patients into thepatient populations treated with the drug being tested and the control groupcould result in either group experiencing a disproportionate number of adverseevents and could cause a clinical trial to be repeated or terminated. If wehave to conduct additional clinical trials, whether for EFAPROXYN, PDX or anyother product candidate, it would significantly increase our expenses and delaymarketing of our products.

**Adverseevents in our clinical trials may force us to stop development of ourproduct candidates or prevent regulatory approval of our product candidates.**

Our productcandidates may produce serious adverse events. These adverse events couldinterrupt, delay or halt clinical trials of our product candidates and couldresult in the FDA or other regulatory authorities denying approval of ourproduct candidates for any or all targeted indications. An independent datasafety monitoring board, the FDA, other regulatory authorities or wemay suspend or terminate clinical trials at any time. We cannot assure youthat any of our product candidates will be safe for human use.

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

We rely primarilyon third parties to conduct our clinical trials, including the ENRICH trial. Asa result, we have had and will continue to have less control over the conductof our clinical trials, the timing and completion of the trials, the requiredreporting of adverse events and the management of data developed through thetrial than would be the case if we were relying entirely upon our own staff.Communicating with outside parties can also be challenging, potentially leadingto mistakes as well as difficulties in coordinating activities. Outside partiesmay have staffing difficulties, may undergo changes in priorities ormay become financially distressed, adversely affecting their willingnessor ability to conduct our trials. We may experience unexpected costincreases that are beyond our control. Problems with the timeliness or qualityof the work of a contract research organization may lead us to seek toterminate the relationship and use an alternative service provider. However,making this change may be costly and may delay our trials, andcontractual restrictions may make such a change difficult or impossible.Additionally, it may be impossible to find a replacement organization thatcan conduct our trials in an acceptable manner and at an acceptable cost.

25

----

**Evenif our product candidates meet safety and efficacy endpoints in clinicaltrials, regulatory authorities may not approve them, or we may facepost-approval problems that require withdrawal of our products from the market.**

Our productcandidates may not be approved even if they achieve their endpoints inclinical trials. Regulatory agencies, including the FDA or their advisorsmay disagree with our interpretations of data from preclinical studies andclinical trials. Regulatory agencies also may approve a product candidatefor fewer conditions than requested or may grant approval subject to theperformance of post-marketing studies for a product candidate. In addition,regulatory agencies may not approve the labeling claims that are necessaryor desirable for the successful commercialization of our product candidates.

Even if we receiveregulatory approvals, our product candidates may laterexhibit adverse effects that limit or prevent their widespread use or thatforce us to withdraw those product candidates from the market. In addition, amarketed product continues to be subject to strict regulation after approvaland may be required to undergo post-approval studies. Any unforeseenproblems with an approved product or any violation of regulations could resultin restrictions on the product, including its withdrawal from the market. Anydelay in, or failure to receive or maintain regulatory approval for, any of ourproducts could prevent us from ever generating meaningful revenues or achievingprofitability.

**Evenif we receive regulatory approval for our product candidates, we will besubject to ongoing regulatory obligations and review.**

Following anyregulatory approval of our product candidates, we will be subject to continuingregulatory obligations such as safety reporting requirements and additionalpost-marketing obligations, including regulatory oversight of the promotion andmarketing of our products. In addition, we or our third-party manufacturerswill be required to adhere to regulations setting forth current GoodManufacturing Practices. These regulations cover all aspects of themanufacturing, storage, testing, quality control and record keeping relating toour product candidates. Furthermore, we or our third-party manufacturers mustpass a pre-approval inspection of manufacturing facilities by the FDA andforeign authorities before obtaining marketing approval and will be subject toperiodic inspection by these regulatory authorities. Such inspectionsmay result in compliance issues that could prevent or delay marketingapproval, or require the expenditure of financial or other resources toaddress. If we or our third-party manufacturers fail to comply with applicableregulatory requirements, we may be subject to fines, suspension or withdrawalof regulatory approvals, product recalls, seizure of products, operatingrestrictions and criminal prosecution.

**Budgetconstraints may force us to delay our efforts to develop certain productcandidates in favor of developing others, which may prevent us fromcommercializing all product candidates as quickly as possible.**

Because we havelimited resources, and because research and development is an expensiveprocess, we must regularly assess the most efficient allocation of our researchand development budget. As a result, we may have to prioritize developmentcandidates and may not be able to fully realize the value of some of ourproduct candidates in a timely manner, as they will be delayed in reaching themarket, if at all.

**Ifwe fail to obtain the capital necessary to fund our operations, we will beunable to successfully develop or commercialize our product candidates.**

We expect thatsignificant additional capital will be required in the future to continue ourresearch and development efforts and to commercialize our product candidates,if approved for marketing. Our actual capital requirements will depend on manyfactors, including, among other factors:

•                    the timing andoutcome of our ongoing ENRICH trial;

•                    costsassociated with the commercialization of EFAPROXYN, if approved for marketing;

•                    our evaluationof, and decisions with respect to, our strategic alternatives, and

•                    costsassociated with securing in-license opportunities, purchasing productcandidates and conducting preclinical research and clinical development for ourcurrent and future product candidates.

We intend to raiseadditional capital in the future through arrangements with corporate partners,equity or debt financings, or from other sources. We do not know whetheradditional financing will be available when needed, or that, if available, wewill obtain financing on terms favorable to our stockholders or us. If adequatefunds are not available to us, we will be required to delay, reduce the scopeof or eliminate one or more of our development programs and our business andfuture prospects for revenue and profitability may be harmed. To theextent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, ourstockholders may experience substantial dilution. To the extent that weraise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements, wemay be required to relinquish some rights to our technologies or productcandidates, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.

26

----

**Ifwe are unable to effectively protect our intellectual property, we will beunable to prevent third parties from using our technology, which would impairour competitiveness and ability to commercialize our product candidates. Inaddition, enforcing our proprietary rights may be expensive and result inincreased losses.**

Our success willdepend in part on our ability to obtain and maintain meaningful patentprotection for our products, both in the United States and in other countries.We rely on patents to protect a large part of our intellectual propertyand our competitive position. Any patents issued to or licensed by us could bechallenged, invalidated, infringed, circumvented or held unenforceable. Inaddition, it is possible that no patents will issue on any of our licensedpatent applications. It is possible that the claims in patents that have beenissued or licensed to us or that may be issued or licensed to us in thefuture will not be sufficiently broad to protect our intellectual property orthat the patents will not provide protection against competitive products orotherwise be commercially valuable. Failure to obtain and maintain adequatepatent protection for our intellectual property would impair our ability to becommercially competitive.

Our commercialsuccess will also depend in part on our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates without infringing patents or other proprietary rights ofothers or breaching the licenses granted to us. We may not be able toobtain a license to third-party technology that we may require to conductour business or, if obtainable, we may not be able to license suchtechnology at a reasonable cost. If we fail to obtain a license to anytechnology that we may require to commercialize our technologies orproduct candidates, or fail to obtain a license at a reasonable cost, we willbe unable to commercialize the affected product or to commercialize it at aprice that will allow us to become profitable.

In addition topatent protection, we also rely upon trade secrets, proprietary know-how andtechnological advances which we seek to protect through confidentialityagreements with our collaborators, employees and consultants. Our employees andconsultants are required to enter into confidentiality agreements with us. Wealso have entered into non-disclosure agreements, which are intended to protectour confidential information delivered to third parties for research and otherpurposes. However, these agreements could be breached and we may not haveadequate remedies for any breach, or our trade secrets and proprietary know-howcould otherwise become known or be independently discovered by others.

Furthermore, aswith any pharmaceutical company, our patent and other proprietary rights aresubject to uncertainty. Our patent rights related to our product candidatesmight conflict with current or future patents and other proprietary rights ofothers. For the same reasons, the products of others could infringe our patentsor other proprietary rights. Litigation or patent interference proceedings,either of which could result in substantial costs to us, may be necessaryto enforce any of our patents or other proprietary rights, or to determine thescope and validity or enforceability of other parties’ proprietary rights. Thedefense and prosecution of patent and intellectual property infringement claimsare both costly and time consuming, even if the outcome is favorable to us. Anyadverse outcome could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties,require disputed rights to be licensed from third parties, or require us tocease selling our future products. We are not currently a party to any patentor other intellectual property infringement claims.

**Wedo not have manufacturing facilities or capabilities and are dependent on thirdparties to fulfill our manufacturing needs, which could result in the delay ofclinical trials, regulatory approvals, product introductions and commercialsales.**

We are dependenton third parties for the manufacture and storage of our product candidates forclinical trials and, if approved, for commercial sale. If we are unable tocontract for a sufficient supply of our product candidates on acceptable terms,or if we encounter delays or difficulties in the manufacturing process or ourrelationships with our manufacturers, we may not have sufficient productto conduct or complete our clinical trials or support commercial requirementsfor our product candidates, if approved.

We have a contractwith Hovione Inter Limited for the supply of EFAPROXYN bulk drug substance, anda contract with Baxter Healthcare for the supply of EFAPROXYN formulated drugproduct. These manufacturers are currently our only contracted sources for theproduction and formulation of EFAPROXYN.

Even if we obtainapproval to market EFAPROXYN in one or more indications, our current or futuremanufacturers may be unable to accurately and reliably manufacturecommercial quantities of EFAPROXYN at reasonable costs, on a timely basis andin compliance with the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices. If ourcurrent or future contract manufacturers fail in any of these respects, ourability to timely complete our clinical trials, obtain required regulatoryapprovals and successfully commercialize EFAPROXYN will be materially andadversely affected.

Our reliance oncontract manufacturers exposes us to additional risks, including:

·                  delaysor failure to manufacture sufficient quantities needed for clinical trials inaccordance with our specifications or to deliver such quantities on the dateswe require;

·                  ourcurrent and future manufacturers are subject to ongoing, periodic, unannouncedinspections by the FDA and corresponding state and international regulatoryauthorities for compliance with strictly enforced current Good ManufacturingPractice regulations and similar foreign standards, and we do not have controlover our contract manufacturers’ compliance with these regulations andstandards;

27

----

·                  ourcurrent and future manufacturers may not be able to comply with applicableregulatory requirements, which would prohibit them from manufacturing productsfor us;

·                  ifwe need to change to other commercial manufacturing contractors, the FDA andcomparable foreign regulators must approve these contractors prior to our use,which would require new testing and compliance inspections, and the newmanufacturers would have to be educated in, or themselves develop substantiallyequivalent processes necessary for, the production of our products;

·                  ourmanufacturers might not be able to fulfill our commercial needs, which wouldrequire us to seek new manufacturing arrangements and may result insubstantial delays in meeting market demands; and

·                  wemay not have intellectual property rights, or may have to shareintellectual property rights, to any improvements in the manufacturingprocesses or new manufacturing processes for our products.

Any of thesefactors could result in the delay of clinical trials, regulatory submissions,required approvals or commercialization of our products under development,entail higher costs and result in our being unable to effectively commercializeour products.

**Acceptanceof our products in the marketplace is uncertain, and failure to achieve marketacceptance will limit our ability to generate revenue and become profitable.**

Even if approvedfor marketing, our products may not achieve market acceptance. The degreeof market acceptance will depend upon a number of factors, including:

·                  thereceipt of timely regulatory approval for the uses that we are studying;

·                  theestablishment and demonstration in the medical community of the safety andefficacy of our products and their potential advantages over existing and newlydeveloped therapeutic products;

·                  easeof use of our products;

·                  reimbursementand coverage policies of government and private payors such as insurancecompanies, health maintenance organizations and other plan administrators; and

·                  thescope and effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts.

Physicians,patients, payors or the medical community in general may be unwilling toaccept, utilize or recommend the use of any of our products.

**Thestatus of reimbursement from third-party payors for newly approved health caredrugs is uncertain and failure to obtain adequate reimbursement could limit ourability to generate revenue.**

Our ability tosuccessfully commercialize our products will depend, in part, on the extent towhich reimbursement for the products will be available from:

·                  governmentand health administration authorities;

·                  privatehealth insurers;

·                  managedcare programs; and

·                  otherthird-party payors.

Significantuncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved health careproducts. Third-party payors, including Medicare, are challenging the pricescharged for medical products and services. Government and other third-party payorsincreasingly are attempting to contain health care costs by limiting bothcoverage and the level of reimbursement for new drugs and by refusing, in somecases, to provide coverage for uses of approved products for disease conditionsfor which the FDA has not granted labeling approval. Third-party insurancecoverage may not be available to patients for our products. If government andother third-party payors do not provide adequate coverage and reimbursementlevels for our product candidates, their market acceptance may be reduced.

28

----

**Healthcare reform measures could adversely affect our business.**

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

The FDA hasdesignated EFAPROXYN for the treatment of brain metastases from breast canceras an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act. The Orphan Drug Act providesincentives to pharmaceutical companies to develop and market drugs for rarediseases, generally by entitling the first developer that receives FDAmarketing approval for an orphan drug to a seven-year exclusive marketingperiod in the United States for that product. In recent years, Congress hasconsidered legislation to change the Orphan Drug Act to shorten the period ofautomatic market exclusivity and to grant marketing rights to simultaneousdevelopers of a drug. If the Orphan Drug Act is amended in this manner, anyapproved drugs for which we have been granted exclusive marketing rights underthe Orphan Drug Act will face increased competition, which may decrease theamount of revenue we may receive from these products.

**Ifwe are unable to develop adequate sales, marketing or distribution capabilitiesor enter into agreements with third parties to perform some of thesefunctions, we will not be able to commercialize our products effectively.**

We have limitedexperience in sales, marketing and distribution. To directly market anddistribute any products, we must build a sales and marketing organization withappropriate technical expertise and distribution capabilities. Wemay attempt to build such a sales and marketing organization on our own orwith the assistance of a contract sales organization. For some marketopportunities, we may need to enter into co-promotion or other licensingarrangements with larger pharmaceutical or biotechnology firms in order to increasethe likelihood of commercial success for our products. We may not be ableto establish sales, marketing and distribution capabilities of our own or enterinto such arrangements with third parties in a timely manner or on acceptableterms. To the extent that we enter into co-promotion or other licensingarrangements, our product revenues are likely to be lower than if we directlymarketed and sold our products, and some or all of the revenues we receive willdepend upon the efforts of third parties, and these efforts may not besuccessful. Additionally, building marketing and distribution capabilitiesmay be more expensive than we anticipate, requiring us to divert capitalfrom other intended purposes or preventing us from building our marketing anddistribution capabilities to the desired levels.

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

Even if we obtainthe necessary regulatory approvals to market EFAPROXYN or any other productcandidates, our commercial opportunity will be reduced or eliminated if ourcompetitors develop and market products that are more effective, have fewerside effects or are less expensive than our product candidates. Our potentialcompetitors include large fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and moreestablished biotechnology companies, both of which have significant resourcesand expertise in research and development, manufacturing, testing, obtainingregulatory approvals and marketing. Academic institutions, government agencies,and other public and private research organizations conduct research, seekpatent protection and establish collaborative arrangements for research,development, manufacturing and marketing. It is possible that competitors willsucceed in developing technologies that are more effective than those beingdeveloped by us or that would render our technology obsolete or noncompetitive.

**Ifproduct liability lawsuits are successfully brought against us, wemay incur substantial liabilities and may be required to limitcommercialization of our product candidates.**

The testing andmarketing of pharmaceutical products entail an inherent risk of productliability. Product liability claims might be brought against us by consumers,health care providers or by pharmaceutical companies or others selling ourfuture products. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against suchclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit thecommercialization of our product candidates. We have obtained limited productliability insurance coverage for our human clinical trials. However, productliability insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive, and wemay be unable to maintain product liability insurance coverage at areasonable cost or in sufficient amounts to protect us against losses due toproduct liability. A successful product liability claim in excess of ourinsurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business,financial condition and results of operations. We may not be able toobtain commercially reasonable product liability insurance for any productsapproved for marketing.

**Weare currently involved in a securities class action litigation, whichcould harm our business if management attention is diverted or the claims aredecided against us.**

We have been namedas a defendant in an alleged securities class action lawsuit seekingunspecified damages relating to the issuance of allegedly false and misleadingstatements regarding EFAPROXYN during the period from May 29, 2003 toApril 29, 2004 and subsequent declines in our stock price. OnOctober 20, 2005, the District Court granted our motion to

dismiss thelawsuit with prejudice and entered judgment in our favor. On November 20,2005, the plaintiff appealed the decision to the United States Court of Appealsfor the Tenth Circuit. We are currently engaged in defending against theseclaims, which, if decided against us, could have a material adverse effect onour business, financial condition and results of operations. The costs incurredin connection with this lawsuit could be significant and may not becovered by our insurance policies. This lawsuit could also result in continueddiversion of our time and attention away from business operations, which couldharm our business.

**Failureto attract, retain and motivate skilled personnel and cultivate key academiccollaborations will delay our product development programs and our research anddevelopment efforts.**

We are a smallcompany with 55 full-time employees, and our success depends on our continuedability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified management andscientific personnel and on our ability to develop and maintain importantrelationships with leading academic institutions and scientists. Competitionfor personnel and academic collaborations is intense. In particular, ourproduct development programs depend on our ability to attract and retain highlyskilled clinical development personnel. In addition, we will need to hireadditional personnel and develop additional academic collaborations as wecontinue to expand our research and development activities. We do not know ifwe will be able to attract, retain or motivate personnel or maintain ourrelationships with academic institutions and scientists. If we fail tonegotiate additional acceptable collaborations with academic institutions andscientists, or if our existing academic collaborations were to be unsuccessful,our product development programs may be delayed.

**Wecannot guarantee that we will be in compliance with all potentially applicableregulations.**

The development,manufacturing, and, if approved, pricing, marketing, sales and reimbursement ofour products, together with our general obligations, are subject to extensiveregulation by federal, state and other authorities within the United States andnumerous entities outside of the United States. We also have significantlyfewer employees than many other companies that have the same or fewer productcandidates in late stage clinical development and we rely heavily on thirdparties to conduct many important functions.

As apublicly-traded company, we are subject to significant regulations, some ofwhich have either only recently been adopted, including the Sarbanes Oxley Actof 2002, or are currently proposals subject to change. We cannot assure that weare or will be in compliance with all potentially applicable regulations. If wefail to comply with the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 or any other regulations wecould be subject to a range of consequences, including restrictions on ourability to sell equity or otherwise raise capital funds, the de-listing of ourcommon stock from the Nasdaq National Market, suspension or termination of ourclinical trials, failure to obtain approval to market our product candidates,restrictions on future products or our manufacturing processes, significantfines, or other sanctions or litigation.

**Ifwe do not progress in our programs as anticipated, our stock price coulddecrease.**

For planningpurposes, we estimate the timing of a variety of clinical, regulatory and othermilestones, such as when a certain product candidate will enter clinicaldevelopment, when a clinical trial will be completed or when an application forregulatory approval will be filed. Some of our estimates are included in thisreport. Our estimates are based on information available to us as of the dateof this report and a variety of assumptions. Many of the underlying assumptionsare outside of our control. If milestones are not achieved when we estimatedthat they would be, investors could be disappointed, and our stock pricemay decrease.

**WarburgPincus Private Equity VIII, L.P. (“Warburg”) controls a substantial percentageof the voting power of our outstanding common stock.**

On March 2,2005, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Warburg PincusPrivate Equity VIII, L.P. (“Warburg”) and certain other investors pursuant towhich we issued and sold an aggregate of 2,352,443 shares of our Series AExchangeable Preferred Stock (the “Exchangeable Preferred”) at a price pershare of $22.10, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately$52.0 million. On May 18, 2005, at our Annual Meeting ofStockholders, our stockholders voted to approve the issuance of shares of ourcommon stock upon exchange of shares of the Exchangeable Preferred. As a resultof such approval, we issued a total of 23,524,430 shares of common stock uponexchange of 2,352,443 shares of Exchangeable Preferred. As of June 30, 2006, wehave approximately 55.6 million shares of common stock outstanding.Warburg owns approximately 22.6 million shares of our common stock, or 41%of the voting power of our outstanding common stock as of June 30, 2006. As aresult, Warburg is able to exercise substantial influence over any actionsrequiring stockholder approval. However, in connection with its purchase of theExchangeable Preferred, Warburg entered into a standstill agreement agreeingnot to pursue, for four years, certain activities the purpose or effect ofwhich may be to change or influence the control of Allos.

**Anti-takeoverprovisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could discourage,delay or prevent an acquisition of us, even if an acquisition would bebeneficial to our stockholders, and may prevent attempts by our stockholders toreplace or remove our current management.**

Provisions of ouramended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well asprovisions of Delaware law, could make it more difficult for a third party toacquire us, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders. In addition, theseprovisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replaceor remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholdersto replace members of our board of directors. Because our board of directors isresponsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisionscould in turn affect any attempt by our stockholders to replace current membersof our management team. These provisions include:

·                  authorizingthe issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that could be issued by our boardof directors to increase the number of outstanding shares or change the balanceof voting control and thwart a takeover attempt;

·                  prohibitingcumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow forless than a majority of stockholders to elect director candidates;

·                  prohibitingstockholder action by written consent, thereby requiring all stockholderactions to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders;

·                  eliminatingthe ability of stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders; and

·                  establishingadvance notice requirements for nominations for election to the board ofdirectors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon at stockholdermeetings.

In addition, weare subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, whichgenerally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broadrange of business combinations with an interested stockholder for a period ofthree years following the date on which the stockholder became an interestedstockholder. This provision could have the effect of delaying or preventing achange of control, whether or not it is desired by or beneficial to our stockholders.Notwithstanding the foregoing, the three year moratorium imposed on businesscombinations by Section 203 will not apply to Warburg because, prior tothe date on which Warburg became an interested stockholder, our board ofdirectors approved the transaction which resulted in Warburg becoming aninterested stockholder. However, in connection with its purchase ofExchangeable Preferred, Warburg entered into a standstill agreement agreeingnot to pursue, for four years, certain activities the purpose or effect ofwhich may be to change or influence the control of Allos.

**Wehave adopted a stockholder rights plan that may discourage, delay or prevent amerger or acquisition that is beneficial to our stockholders.**

In May 2003,our board of directors adopted a stockholder rights plan that may have theeffect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a merger or acquisition of usthat is beneficial to our stockholders by diluting the ability of a potentialacquirer to acquire us. Pursuant to the terms of our plan, when a person orgroup, except under certain circumstances, acquires 15% or more of ouroutstanding common stock or 10 business days after announcement of a tender orexchange offer for 15% or more of our outstanding common stock, the rights (exceptthose rights held by the person or group who has acquired or announced an offerto acquire 15% or more of our outstanding common stock) would generally becomeexercisable for shares of our common stock at a discount. Because the potentialacquirer’s rights would not become exercisable for our shares of common stockat a discount, the potential acquirer would suffer substantial dilution and maylose its ability to acquire us. In addition, the existence of the plan itselfmay deter a potential acquirer from acquiring us. As a result, either byoperation of the plan or by its potential deterrent effect, mergers andacquisitions of us that our stockholders may consider in their best interestsmay not occur.

Because Warburgowns a substantial percentage of our outstanding common stock, we amended thestockholder rights plan in connection with Warburg’s purchase of theExchangeable Preferred to provide that Warburg and its affiliates will beexempt from the stockholder rights plan, unless Warburg and its affiliatesbecome, without our prior consent, the beneficial owner of more than 44% of ourcommon stock. Under the stockholder rights plan, our Board of Directors hasexpress authority to amend the rights plan without stockholder approval.

**Themarket price for our common stock has been and may continue to be highlyvolatile, and an active trading market for our common stock may never exist.**

We cannot be surethat 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 atthe market price if trading in our common stock is not active. The tradingprice of our common stock has been and is likely to be highly volatile andcould be subject to wide fluctuations in price in response to various factors,many of which are beyond our control, including:

·                  actualor anticipated results of our clinical trials;

·                  actualor anticipated regulatory approvals or non-approvals of our product candidates,including EFAPROXYN, or of competing product candidates;

31

----

·                  changesin laws or regulations applicable to our product candidates;

·                  changesin the expected or actual timing of our development programs;

·                  actualor anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;

·                  announcementsof technological innovations by us or our competitors;

·                  changesin financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;

·                  conditionsor trends in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries;

·                  changesin the market valuations of similar companies;

·                  announcementsby us of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures orcapital commitments;

·                  additionsor departures of key personnel;

·                  disputesor other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents,litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ourtechnologies;

·                  developmentsconcerning any research and development, manufacturing, and marketingcollaborations;

·                  salesof large blocks of our common stock;

·                  salesof our common stock by our executive officers, directors and five percentstockholders; and

·                  economicand other external factors, including disasters or crises.

In addition, thestock market in general, the Nasdaq National Market and the market fortechnology companies in particular have experienced extreme price and volumefluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to theoperating performance of those companies. Further, there has been particularvolatility in the market prices of securities of biotechnology and lifesciences companies. These broad market and industry factors may seriouslyharm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operatingperformance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market,securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies.Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costsand diversion of management’s attention and resources.

**Weare required to recognize stock-based compensation expense relating to employeestock options, restricted stock, and stock purchases under our Employee StockPurchase Plan, and the amount of expense we recognize may not accuratelyreflect the value of our share-based payment awards. Further, the recognitionof stock-based compensation expense will cause our net losses to increase andmay cause the trading price of our common stock to fluctuate.**

On January 1,2006, we adopted SFAS 123R, which requires the measurement and recognition ofcompensation expense for all stock-based compensation based on estimated fairvalues.  As a result, our operatingresults for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 included, and futureperiods will include, a charge for stock-based compensation related to employeestock options, restricted stock and employee stock purchases. The applicationof SFAS 123R requires the use of an option-pricing model to determine thefair value of share-based payment awards. This determination of fair value isaffected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highlycomplex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limitedto, our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actualand projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. Option-pricing modelswere developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have novesting or hedging restrictions and are fully transferable. Because ouremployee stock options have certain characteristics that are significantlydifferent from traded options, and because changes in the subjectiveassumptions can materially affect the estimated value, in management’s opinionthe existing valuation models may not provide an accurate measure of the fairvalue of our employee stock options.

We expect that ouradoption of SFAS 123R will have a material impact on our future financialstatements and results of operations.  Wecannot predict the effect that our stock-based compensation expense will haveon the trading price of our common stock.

**Substantialsales of shares may impact the market price of our common stock.**

If ourstockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock, the market price ofour common stock may decline. These sales also might make it moredifficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at atime and price that we consider appropriate. We are unable to predict theeffect that sales may have on the then prevailing market price of ourcommon stock. Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement entered into betweenus and the purchasers of Exchangeable Preferred, beginning on March 4,2007, the purchasers of Exchangeable Preferred will be entitled to certainregistration rights with respect to the shares of common stock that were issuedupon exchange of the Exchangeable Preferred.
