Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
In May 2008, we obtained results of the data analysis of our Phase 3 registration trial for our lead product candidate, Specifid, for patients with follicular B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Analysis of the primary endpoint in the trial failed to show a statistically significant improvement in the treatment arm, Specifid plus LeukineŽ following RituxanŽ, compared to the control arm, placebo plus Leukine following Rituxan. Based on these results, we immediately discontinued development of Specifid and other programs requiring production of patient-specific therapies including the T-cell and autoimmune disease programs and began considering various strategic alternatives. As a result of the foregoing registration trial results, as previously disclosed we determined to sell all of our equipment and other personal property in an auction held in August 2008. On September 9, 2008, this auction was consummated and we received $3.2 million in net proceeds from the sale of the assets. As of September 11, 2008, our current liabilities totaled $5.3 million which exceeded our cash balance of $3.9 million, including the net proceeds from the asset sale.
We continue to consider possible strategic alternatives, including business arrangements, such as a reorganization involving in-licensing of products contingent upon additional financing or a merger with another entity. There is a substantial risk that we may not successfully implement any of these restructuring alternatives, and even if we determine to pursue one or more of these alternatives, we may be unable to do so on acceptable financial terms. Any such transactions may require us to incur non-recurring or other charges and may pose significant integration challenges and/or management and business disruptions, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and financial results. If we are unable to complete a strategic transaction, we will likely not be able to continue as a going concern entity.
