On April 8, 2011, Novelos completed the acquisition of Cellectar, Inc. (“Cellectar”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) between Novelos, Cellectar and Cell Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Novelos (the “Merger Subsidiary”). As a result, Cellectar was merged into the Merger Subsidiary (the “Acquisition”) and the Merger Subsidiary, which has been renamed Cellectar, Inc., owns all assets and operates the business previously owned and operated by Cellectar.  References in these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and notes to “Cellectar” relate to the activities and financial information of Cellectar prior to the Acquisition,  references to “Novelos” relate to the activities and financial information of Novelos prior to the Acquisition and references to “the Company” or “we” or “us” or “our” relate to the activities of the combined Company following the Acquisition.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements combine the historical financial statements of Novelos and Cellectar after giving effect to the Acquisition.  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are provided for informational purposes only and are subject to a number of uncertainties and assumptions and do not purport to represent what the combined companies’ actual performance or financial position would have been if Novelos and Cellectar had been operating as combined entities for the periods presented and does not purport to indicate the financial position or results of operations as of any future date or for any future period.  These unaudited condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements, including the notes thereto, of Novelos included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, our Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 and in the historical financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 and the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2010 give effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred January 1, 2010.  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 gives effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on that date.

The pro forma adjustments are based on available information, preliminary estimates and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable and are described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements assume that the Acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805 – Business Combinations.  The total purchase price has been preliminarily allocated based on available information and the preliminary estimates and assumptions that management believes are reasonable.  The allocation of the purchase price has not been finalized and the actual adjustments may change when the final valuation of certain intangible assets is determined.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the final allocation of purchase price will not materially differ from the preliminary allocations reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

NOVELOS THERAPEUTICS, INC.
(a Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 and the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2010 have been prepared based on the historical information of Novelos and Cellectar giving effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred January 1, 2010.  The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 has been prepared based on the historical information of Novelos and Cellectar giving effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on that date.

In accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), unaudited statements may omit or condense information and disclosures normally required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Management believes that the notes to the unaudited pro forma financial statements as presented contain disclosures adequate to make the information presented useful and not misleading.

The pro forma adjustments are based on available information, preliminary estimates and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable and are described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, which should be read in conjunction with these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

As consideration for the Acquisition, the stockholders of Cellectar received aggregate consideration consisting of a number of shares of Novelos common stock constituting approximately 85% of the outstanding shares of Novelos common stock, after giving effect to the Acquisition but before giving effect to the concurrent private placement of our securities.  Since the former shareholders of Cellectar retained the majority voting interest in the combined business, the Acquisition (see Note 2) will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby Cellectar will be treated as the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements assume that the Acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805 – Business Combinations.  The total purchase price has been preliminarily allocated based on available information and the preliminary estimates and assumptions that management believes are reasonable.  The allocation of the purchase price has not been finalized and the actual adjustments may change when the final valuation of certain intangible assets is determined.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the final allocation of purchase price will not materially differ from the preliminary allocations reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements.

2. ACQUISITION

Conversion of Convertible Notes and Payment of Long-Term Debt

On April 8, 2011, immediately prior to the Acquisition, Cellectar paid the note payable to a bank in full settlement of the note.  The payment was made in order to avoid an event of default that would have occurred as a result of the change of control that occurred at the time of the Acquisition.

On January 31, 2011, the holders of convertible notes agreed to convert the outstanding principal of $2,720,985 and unpaid interest, immediately prior to the Acquisition, into a fixed total of 4,181,535 shares of common stock of the Company, provided that the note holders invested a minimum amount in the private placement that was completed in connection with the Acquisition.  Such conversion occurred on April 8, 2011. The revised conversion terms resulted in the issuance of an additional 343,963 shares of common stock than would have been issued if the notes had been converted in accordance with their original terms.

Merger Agreement

On April 8, 2011, Novelos completed the acquisition of Cellectar, Inc. (“Cellectar”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) between Novelos, Cellectar and Cell Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Novelos (the “Merger Subsidiary”). As a result, Cellectar was merged into the Merger Subsidiary (the “Acquisition”) and the Merger Subsidiary, which has been renamed Cellectar, Inc., owns all assets and operates the business previously owned and operated by Cellectar.

As consideration for the Acquisition, the stockholders of Cellectar received aggregate consideration consisting of a number of shares of Novelos common stock constituting, after giving effect to the Acquisition but before giving effect to the concurrent private placement of Novelos securities described below, approximately 85% of the outstanding shares of Novelos common stock.  Prior to the Acquisition, Novelos amended and restated its certificate of incorporation and in connection therewith, among other things, effected a 1-for-153 reverse split of its common stock (the “Reverse Split”), which has been retroactively reflected in the accompanying pro forma financial statements.  Immediately prior to the Acquisition, there were approximately 2,959,871 shares of Novelos common stock outstanding. Novelos then issued 17,001,596 shares of Novelos common stock to the former stockholders of Cellectar upon the effective date of the Acquisition.  Warrants and options to purchase Novelos common stock that were outstanding prior to the Acquisition remained outstanding following the Acquisition. These consist of warrants to purchase a total of 315,164 shares of Novelos common stock with prices ranging from $16.07 to $191.25 and options to purchase a total of 49,159 shares of Novelos common stock with prices ranging from $1.53 to $1,072.53.

XMS Capital Partners, the financial advisor to Cellectar in connection with the Acquisition, received a cash fee of $200,000 upon the completion of the Acquisition in consideration of their services.  Rodman & Renshaw, LLC (“Rodman”), financial advisor to Novelos in connection with the Acquisition, received a cash fee of $250,000 upon the completion of the Acquisition in consideration of their services.  These amounts will be recorded to general and administrative expense as of the date of the Acquisition.

Securities Purchase Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Novelos entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors under which it sold an aggregate of 6,846,537 units, each unit consisting of one share of its common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of its common stock, at a price of $0.75 per unit, for gross proceeds of approximately $5,135,000.  The warrants have an exercise price of $0.75 and expire on March 31, 2016.  The warrant exercise price and/or the common stock issuable pursuant to such warrant will be subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits or similar capital reorganizations so that the rights of the warrant holders after such event will be equivalent to the rights of warrant holders prior to such event.

Rodman, the placement agent for the financing, was paid a cash fee equal to $200,000 and issued warrants to purchase 192,931 shares of the Company’s common stock (having an exercise price of $0.75 and which expire March 31, 2016) in consideration for their advisory services with respect to the financing pursuant to the placement agency agreement between Rodman and Novelos.  Rodman is entitled to registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants.  These amounts will be recorded as a reduction of gross proceeds received.

Purchase Accounting

The Acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting as a reverse acquisition.  In a reverse acquisition, the post-acquisition net assets of the surviving combined company includes the historical cost basis of the net assets of the accounting acquirer, Cellectar, plus the fair value of the net assets of the accounting acquiree, Novelos.  Further, under the purchase method, the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values and the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets is presented as excess purchase price over net assets acquired.  The cost of acquisition and related purchase price allocation is based on preliminary evaluation of the fair value of assets and liabilities assumed of Novelos and may change when the final valuation of certain intangible assets is determined.

The purchase price as of the acquisition date was $2,219,903 and was determined based on the fair value of the shares of common stock retained by Novelos shareholders at the date of Acquisition.

 
- 6 -

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

Consideration - issuance of securities
  $ 2,219,903  
         
Prepaid expenses and other assets
  $ 71,892  
Fixed assets
    6,515  
Accrued liabilities
    (250,008 )
Deferred revenue
    (391,666 )
Derivative liability
    (56,050 )
Excess of purchase price over net assets acquired
    1,933,349  
         
Total purchase price – net of cash acquired of $905,871
  $ 1,314,032  

The excess of purchase price over net assets acquired will be allocated to intangibles and goodwill once the Company completes the final allocation of purchase price.  Since the Company does not anticipate recording intangibles which have definite lives, the pro forma statements of operations do not include any amortization of intangibles as the purchase price allocation has not been finalized (see Note 1).
