Celator Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Subsidiaries
 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)


1.
Nature of Business
Celator Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is an oncology-focused biopharmaceutical company that is transforming the science of combination therapy, and developing products to improve patient outcomes in cancer. Our proprietary technology platform, CombiPlex®, enables the rational design and rapid evaluation of optimized combinations incorporating traditional chemotherapies as well as molecularly targeted agents to deliver enhanced anti-cancer activity. CombiPlex addresses several fundamental shortcomings of conventional combination regimens, as well as the challenges inherent in combination drug development, by identifying the most effective synergistic molar ratio of the drugs being combined in vitro, and fixing this ratio in a nano-scale drug delivery complex to maintain the optimized combination after administration and ensure its exposure to the tumor. Our lead product is VYXEOSTM , a nano-scale liposomal formulation of cytarabine:daunorubicin, completed a Phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). On March 14, 2016 we reported positive results from our Phase 3 study of VYXEOS in patients with high-risk (secondary) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) compared to the standard of care regimen of cytarabine and daunorubicin known as 7+3. We have also conducted clinical development on CPX-1, a nano-scale liposomal formulation of irinotecan:floxuridine for the treatment of colorectal cancer; and have a preclinical stage product candidate, CPX-8, a hydrophobic docetaxel prodrug nanoparticle formulation. More recently, we have advanced the CombiPlex platform and broadened its application to include molecularly targeted therapies.

In July 2016, the Company was acquired by Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc. See note 13.

2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted.

In the opinion of management of the Company, the interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows of the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

Basis of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Celator Pharmaceuticals Corp. (“CPC”) and Celator UK Ltd. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Use of estimates: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant areas requiring management estimates in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements include, amongst other things, assessment of other receivables, accrued liabilities, impairment and amortization of property and equipment, valuation allowance for deferred income taxes, valuation of stock-based compensation and contingencies.

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted: During the period, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance originally issued in April 2015 which requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related liability, rather than as a deferred charge. The guidance was effective retroactively for financial statements covering fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The following table summarizes the cumulative effect of the change on total assets, total liabilities and stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the period presented. The adoption of the guidance did not have any effect on loss from operations, and loss per share amounts for the current period and any prior periods.

All other new guidance that became effective during the reported period did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective: In February 2016, the FASB issued comprehensive new guidance about leases. Under the new guidance, most leases will be recognized on an entity’s balance sheet as liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. We have not yet evaluated the impact of this new pronouncement.

In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance which requires entities with a classified balance sheet to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The guidance is effective for public business entities for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. This guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

3.
Fair Value Measurements
Financial instruments of the Company consist of cash deposits, money market investments, other receivables, accounts payable, certain accrued liabilities and debt. The carrying value of these financial instruments generally approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The Company believes that the current carrying amount of its long-term debt approximates fair value because interest rate on this instrument is similar to rates that the Company would be able to receive for similar instruments of comparable maturity.

FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, such as: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

ASC 820 requires disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

In 2015, the Company completed a U.S. Federal and State of New Jersey Research and Development and U.S. Federal Orphan Drug tax credits analysis related to the years ended December 31, 2008 through 2014. The Company will claim the U.S. Federal Research and Development and Orphan Drug tax credits in the future on U.S. Federal tax returns. As a result, the Company will file amended New Jersey tax returns to report an income tax liability and interest which the Company recorded in 2015 as a non-current liability of $991,654 disclosed above. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded $31,180 of additional interest which has been reflected as income tax expenses in the accompanying statement of loss. 

8.
Loans Payable
On May 9, 2014, the Company entered into a term loan agreement for $15 million with Hercules Technology Capital Growth (“Hercules”). The first $10 million of the term loan was funded at closing. On March 30, 2015, the Company drew down the remaining $5 million of the term loan. The term loan was repayable in installments over forty-eight months and, at drawdown date, had an interest-only period of eighteen months after closing. Interest is payable monthly at the greater of 9.75% or an adjusted rate based upon the U.S. prime rate with interest only period until December 1, 2015. The average interest rate paid by the Company during the first six months of 2016 was 10% and 9.75% during the first six months of 2015.

Pursuant to the loan agreement, the Company issued Hercules a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 210,675 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.67 per share with a term of five years. The warrant is exercisable beginning on the date of issuance and expires May 9, 2019. The fair value of the warrants of $397,649 and financing costs of $407,253 incurred in connection with the term loan were recorded as debt issuance costs and will be amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the loan.

In addition, the Company will pay an end of term charge of $592,500 on the earliest to occur of (i) the term loan maturity date, (ii) the date that the Company prepays the outstanding loan, or (iii) the date that the loan becomes due and payable. The end of term charge will be accrued as additional interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the loan. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company accrued $78,557 and $89,912, respectively.

On April 25, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment agreement with Hercules which provided that the scheduled principal payments due on May 1, 2016 and the first business day of each month thereafter through and including the payment

Celator Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Subsidiaries
 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)


due on May 1, 2017 will be deferred (“deferred payments”). Commencing on June 1, 2017, and continuing on the first business day of each month thereafter, scheduled payments of principal and interest based on original amortization period of thirty-one (31) consecutive months are due under the amended agreement with a balloon payment of all the deferred payments included in the last installment. The Company incurred financing costs of $130,365 in connection with this amendment. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the amortization of debt issuance costs was $123,245 and $116,486, respectively. At June 30, 2016, the remaining unamortized balance of debt issuance costs was $423,832.The deferred payments and all other accrued but unpaid interest will be due and payable on the loan maturity date of June 1, 2018. The current portion of debt on the consolidated balance sheet and the summary of payments disclosed below reflect this amendment. The Company concluded that the terms of the amended debt instrument were not substantially different, than the existing instrument and therefore did not apply debt extinguishment accounting.

Long-term debt as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, consists of the following:

The grant-date fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing model. The Company determined the options’ life based on the simplified method and determined the options’ expected volatility based on peer group volatility and dividend yield based on the historical dividend payments. The risk free interest rate is based on the yield of an applicable term Treasury instrument.

The Company amortizes the fair value of the stock options on a straight-line basis over the applicable requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. At June 30, 2016, the total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized and weighted average period over which it will be recognized was $4,352,979 and 0.03 years, respectively.

The remaining minimum lease payments as of June 30, 2016 were $132,200. The Company also vacated its previous lease for office space effective October 1, 2015. The vacated lease expired in June 2016.

In March 2013, the Company entered into an office lease agreement for office space in Ewing, New Jersey, which commenced in June 2013 with a term of sixty months. The remaining minimum lease payments as of June 30, 2016 were $287,100. Under the Ewing, New Jersey lease agreement, the Company will be obligated to maintain a letter of credit from a bank with respect to its security deposit obligations in the amount of $200,000 during the first year of the Agreement and the deposit is reduced annually through lease expiration date. The restricted deposit balance as of June 30, 2016 was $120,000.

The Company has a worldwide exclusive license agreement with Princeton University dated June 2007 that provides the Company with exclusive rights to some aspects of its nanoparticle polymer technology arising from research sponsored by the Company at Princeton University between 2003 and 2007. These inventions are generally characterized as particulate constructs for release of active agents for medical application. Of the products currently in the Company’s pipeline, only the hydrophobic docetaxel prodrug nanoparticle (HDPN) formulation is subject to this agreement. The Company is obligated to pay a royalty on net sales to Princeton University of a low single-digit percentage if any invention is sold by the Company or a company to which the product covered by the invention was licensed by the Company, which was generated under the exclusive licensing agreement. No royalty or other product/sub-license-related payments have been made to date. The Company is obligated to provide Princeton University a percentage within the range of 45% to 55% of proceeds obtained from a sub-license of the intellectual property to a third party in cases where the Company has not conducted any research or development activities and is solely licensing out the original intellectual property jointly developed by the Company and Princeton University. The Company may terminate the agreement at any time by giving 90 days written notice to Princeton University. Princeton may terminate the agreement if the Company should breach or fail to perform under the agreement, with written notice of default provided by Princeton University to the Company and only if the Company fails to cure the default within 60 days. The Company is obligated under the agreement to provide an annual progress report to Princeton University on any developments of the licensed technology as well as prosecution of the patents covering the technology and the use of commercially reasonable efforts to develop licensed products.

The Company has a collaborative research agreement dated May 2001 with the British Columbia Cancer Agency (“BCCA”) whereby in consideration for the license and conditional assignment of all Company-sponsored intellectual property to the Company by BCCA, the Company will pay to BCCA a royalty in the low single digits on net sales of royalty-bearing products in territories so long as a valid claim exists for inventions made between June 2000 and June 2005 under the agreement. All obligations relating to the conduct of the research and assignment of intellectual property have been completed. No payments of royalties have been made to date. Either party may terminate the agreement if the other party commits a material breach or default and such breach or default is not reasonably cured within 45 days.

In consideration of funding by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society ("LLS") and transfer to the Company of any rights LLS may have to any project inventions developed during the term of the agreement, the Company may be required to pay LLS a cash multiple on the LLS funding, (LLS funding was $5 million in support of the Phase 3 study of VYXEOS in addition to the approximately $4.1 million the Company received in support of the Phase 2 study). Subject to exclusions under the agreement, the Company is obligated to pay LLS an amount equal to 50% of the cash payments the Company receives from out-licenses and transfers of rights to the product or other liquidity event, as defined in the agreement, until LLS has received an amount equal to 1.5 times the amount of funding the Company receives from LLS. The total amount payable by the Company to LLS will not exceed 3.55 times the amount of funding received from LLS, with the specific amount depending on when the payment(s) occur relative to the timing of the research program and product commercialization. The payments may take the form of cash payments or royalties (not to exceed 5% of net sales) but will not exceed the maximum amount referred to in the preceding sentence.
