Nature of Business and Liquidity

Celator Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“CPI” or the “Company”), with locations in Ewing, N.J., and Vancouver, B.C., is a pharmaceutical company developing new and more effective therapies to treat cancer. CombiPlex®, the Company’s proprietary drug ratio technology platform, represents a novel approach that identifies molar ratios of drugs that will deliver a synergistic benefit, and locks the desired ratio in a nano-scale drug delivery vehicle that maintains the ratio in patients with the goal of improving clinical outcomes.

The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $141.5 million. The Company expects operating losses and negative cash flows to continue for the foreseeable future until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant revenues from its product candidates currently in development. At June 30, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $24.9 million. Management believes that the cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2014 will be sufficient to meet estimated working capital requirements and fund planned operations into the fourth quarter of 2015. Substantial additional financing will be needed by the Company to fund its operations and to commercially develop its product candidates.

The Company is subject to those risks associated with any specialty pharmaceutical company that has substantial expenditures for research and development. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development projects will be successful, that products developed will obtain necessary regulatory approval, or that any approved product will be commercially viable. In addition, the Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change and is largely dependent on the services of its employees and consultants.

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, 2013. 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 Celator 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, among 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 Pronouncement: In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-10,Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation, which eliminates all incremental financial reporting requirements for development stage entities by removing Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 915, Development Stage Entities, from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in this Update remove the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. ASC Topic 915 is removed effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the ASU effective with the issuance of its June 30, 2014 financial statements.

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.

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.

The Company recognizes transfers between input levels as of the actual date of event. There were no transfers between levels and the following table provides the assets carried at fair value:


	Fair Value		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)

Non-cash derivative instrument charge

The Company recognized a non-cash derivative instrument charge of $747,311 and $7,473,108 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 respectively. The charge related to an obligation to issue additional shares of common stock and warrants to certain existing stockholders who participated in early closings of a private placement that started in 2012 and closed on April 29, 2013. The fair value of these common shares and warrants was recognized as a derivative liability with a corresponding charge to the statement of loss. Upon the closing of the April 2013 Private Placement, the derivative liability was reclassified into stockholders’ equity as the obligation to issue additional securities no longer existed. This contractual obligation was fair valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Loans Payable

On May 9, 2014, the Company entered into a term loan agreement for $15 million with Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. The first $10 million of the term loan was funded at closing, and is repayable in installments over forty-two months including an initial interest-only period of twelve months after closing. The remaining $5 million of the term loan can be drawn down at the Company’s option at any time between December 15, 2014 and March 31, 2015. Interest is payable monthly at the greater of 9.75% or an adjusted rate based upon the US prime rate with interest only period extendable to December 1, 2015, contingent upon achieving full enrollment of the CPX-351 Phase 3 study by December 31, 2014. The funds will be used to provide general working capital.

Pursuant to the loan agreement, the Company issued Hercules a warrant to purchase 158,006 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.67 per share with a term of five years. The fair value of the warrants of $320,752 and financing costs of $357,253 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. Amortization of debt issuance costs was $30,507 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs of $647,498 is included in other non-current assets.

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 become 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. The Company accrued $26,660 of this fee during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Long-term debt as of June 30, 2014 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, 2014, the total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized and weighted average period over which it will be recognized was $4,297,202 and 3.1 years, respectively.

One can identify these forward-looking statements by their use of words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “plans,” “will,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “projects” and other words of similar meaning. One can also identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements are likely to address the Company’s growth strategy, financial results, product development, product approvals, product potential and development programs. One must carefully consider any such statement and should understand that many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s forward-looking statements. These factors include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary materially.

The Company does not assume the obligation to update any forward-looking statement. One should carefully evaluate such statements in light of factors, including risk factors, described in the Company’s filings with the SEC, especially on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. In Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company discusses in more detail various important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historic results. The Company notes these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. One should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, the reader should not consider any such list to be a complete statement of all potential risks or uncertainties.

Highlights

Celator Pharmaceuticals, Inc., with locations in Ewing, N.J., and Vancouver, B.C., is a pharmaceutical company developing new and more effective therapies to treat cancer. CombiPlex®, the Company’s proprietary drug ratio technology platform, represents a novel approach that identifies molar ratios of drugs that will deliver a synergistic benefit, and locks the desired ratio in a nano-scale drug delivery vehicle that maintains the ratio in patients with the goal of improving clinical outcomes. The Company’s pipeline includes two clinical stage products, CPX-351, a liposomal formulation of cytarabine:daunorubicin for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia, or AML, and CPX-1, a liposomal formulation of irinotecan:floxuridine, for the treatment of colorectal cancer; and preclinical stage product candidates, including CPX-571, a liposomal formulation of irinotecan:cisplatin, and CPX-8, a hydrophobic docetaxel prodrug nanoparticle, or HDPN, a formulation being studied by the National Cancer Institute’s Nanotechnology Characterization Laboratory.

Overview

Celator was founded in 1999 by a team led by Dr. Lawrence Mayer (currently Celator’s President and Chief Scientific Officer) and Dr. Marcel Bally from the British Columbia Cancer Agency. Celator’s strategy evolved into developing drug combination products based on CombiPlex, Celator’s proprietary drug ratio technology platform.

Since the founding of Celator, $95.7 million has been invested in research and development with funds being used with the Company’s proprietary technologies, including CombiPlex, creating a pipeline of drugs and managing the clinical studies. Celator’s commercial success depends upon its ability, and the ability of any of its future collaborators, to develop, manufacture, market, and sell the product candidates. Numerous U.S. and foreign issued patents and pending patent applications that are owned by third parties exist in the fields in which Celator is developing products. There is no guarantee that Celator will be able to market or sell any of its products.

Celator intends to use future net proceeds to fund its development activities, including clinical studies, manufacturing development (including capital expenditures), working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Celator believes that, based on its current financial resources, it will need to raise additional funding to complete the development and potential commercialization of CPX-351. To the extent that the costs of the planned study exceed current estimates or the survival analysis does not occur within the currently anticipated timeframe, and Celator is unable to raise sufficient additional capital to cover such additional costs, Celator will need to reduce operating expenses, enter into a collaboration or other similar arrangement with respect to development and/or commercialization rights to CPX-351, out-license intellectual property rights to CPX-351, sell assets or effect a combination of the above. No assurance can be given that Celator will be able to effect any of such transactions on acceptable terms, if at all.

Celator has spent research and development funds on clinical studies, research collaborations and intellectual property costs. For the years 2010 through June 2014, the bulk of the spending has been on clinical studies. The three major studies are:

Study 204 — Randomized Phase 2 Study of CPX-351 in Newly Diagnosed AML Patients Age 60 – 75

Study 205 — Randomized Phase 2 Study of CPX-351 in AML Patients in First Relapse, Patients Age 18 – 65

Study 301 — Randomized Phase 3 Study in Patients with sAML

Study 204 was conducted in newly diagnosed AML patients age 60-75 years. The study was intended to be a direct test of whether delivery of a fixed, synergistic ratio of two drugs, cytarabine and daunorubicin, (i.e., CPX-351 which is a 90 minute infusion on days 1, 3 and 5) provided increased clinical efficacy over conventional administration of the same agents (i.e., which is a 7-day continuous infusion of cytarabine, combined with daunorubicin on days 1, 2 and 3, commonly referred to as the 7+3 regimen). This study is complete. In the overall population, in patients treated with CPX-351 the response rate increased by 30% (66.7% vs. 51.2%), the 60-day mortality was decreased by approximately 68% (4.7% vs. 14.6%), and the median overall survival increased approximately 14% (14.7 months vs. 12.9 months). In sAML patients (approximately 41% of the overall population), the response rate increased by 82% (57.5% vs. 31.6%), the 60-day mortality was decreased approximately 81% (6.1% vs. 31.6%), the median event-free survival increased approximately 246% (4.5 months vs. 1.3 months) and the median overall survival increased approximately 98% (12.1 months vs. 6.1 months).

Study 205 was a randomized Phase 2 study designed to be a direct test of whether CPX-351 provides increased clinical efficacy over salvage therapies in AML patients in first relapse age 18-65. This study is complete. In the overall population, CPX-351 resulted in a 21% relative increase in response rate (49.4% vs. 40.9%) compared to the control arm of salvage therapies, a 7% decrease in the 60-day mortality (14.8% vs. 15.9%), a relative 35% increase in median overall survival (8.5 months vs. 6.3 months) and an approximately 31% increase in 1-year survival rate (35.8% vs. 27.3%). For patients in the unfavorable risk category (68% of the overall population), CPX-351 resulted in a 42% relative increase in response rate (39.3% vs. 27.6%) compared to the control arm of salvage therapies, a 33% decrease in 60-day mortality (16.1% vs. 24.1%), a 57% relative increase in median overall survival (6.6 months vs. 4.2 months) and a 172% increase in 1-year survival rate (28.6% vs. 10.3%).

Study 301 has been undertaken to confirm the Study 204 clinical observations where CPX-351 provided the largest efficacy improvements in secondary AML patients and to provide the necessary data for product registration. The study is designed to randomize and treat 300 patients. Study 301 has surpassed 80% overall enrollment and the final patient to be enrolled is expected in the fourth quarter 2014 with induction response rate data available in the second quarter of 2015. The final overall survival report is expected to be available in the first quarter of 2016, with the NDA anticipated to be filed in the second half of 2016. There have been and it is expected there will continue to be significant costs associated with this study, including site enrollment, grants, patient monitoring, database maintenance, statistical monitoring, data analysis, salaries and insurance. The projected cost for this study is $35.0 million, and completion is anticipated in 2016. The timeline and costs for this study have been based on Celator’s experience with Study 204. As of August 6, 2014, 41 centers had been initiated/open for enrollment in Study 301.

In June 2012, Celator entered into an agreement with LLS pursuant to which the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) is providing $5.0 million in funding from the LLS Therapy Acceleration Program (“TAP”) program for the Phase 3 study of CPX-351. The agreement provided for LLS to make an upfront payment of $2.0 million to Celator, which was received in July 2012, and further payments totaling an additional $3.0 million on the achievement of clinical milestones; however, the amount may be refundable by the Company in the event of a material breach by the Company under the agreement. The $2.0 million upfront payment has been recorded as deferred revenue and will be recognized over the estimated performance period of the research and development services to be provided under the agreement. As of June 30, 2014, $0.9 million was deferred. Since November 2012, Celator has received a total of $1.5 million for milestones achieved under this agreement. In consideration of LLS’s funding, and transfer to the Company of any rights LLS may have to any project inventions developed during the term of the agreement, the Company must pay LLS a multiple on the LLS funding (LLS funding is the $5 million in support of the Phase 3 study in addition to the approximately $4.1 million the Company received in support of the Phase 2 study during 2010 and 2011). 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 outlicenses 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.

On April 29, 2013, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement and subscription agreements with certain accredited investors for the issuance and sale in the final round of a private placement of 10,430,034 shares of common stock, which the Company sold at a price of $3.116 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $32,499,986. Warrants to purchase 0.28 shares of common stock at $3.58 per share were issued for each share of common stock purchased. The net proceeds totaled $29,420,375 for this financing.

In connection with this final closing of the financing, 1,923,599 shares of common stock and 161,327 warrants to purchase shares of common stock at $5.21 and 1,056,898 warrants to purchase shares of common stock at $3.58 per share were issued to certain existing stockholders of the Company who participated in earlier closings of this financing. The fair value of these common shares and warrants was recognized as a derivative liability with a corresponding charge to the statement of loss. The derivative liability was fair valued at $6,725,797 as of March 31, 2013. Upon the closing of the April 2013 private placement, the derivative liability was reclassed into Stockholders’ equity as the obligation to issue additional securities no longer existed.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

There is considerable time and cost associated with developing a potential drug or pharmaceutical product to the point of regulatory approval and commercialization. To date, the Company has funded its operations primarily through private placements of preferred stock and common stock, convertible debt and debt financings. However, we may pursue additional financing options, including entering into agreements with collaborative partners in order to provide milestone payments, license fees and equity investments. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $24.9 million.

On May 9, 2014, the Company entered into a term loan agreement for $15 million with Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. The first $10 million of the term loan was funded at closing, and is repayable in installments over forty-two months including an initial interest-only period of twelve months after closing. The net proceeds from the loan were $9.6 million. The remaining $5 million of the term loan can be drawn down at the Company’s option at any time between December 15, 2014 and March 31, 2015. Interest is payable monthly at the greater of 9.75% or an adjusted rate based upon the US prime rate with interest only period extendable to December 1, 2015, contingent upon achieving full enrollment of the CPX-351 Phase 3 study by December 31, 2014. The funds will be used to provide general working capital.

In April 2013, the Company raised $29.4 million of net proceeds from the final round of a private placement. We expect to continue to incur losses as we fund our research and development activities and commercial launch activities, and we do not expect material revenues for at least the next few years.

Even though we believe we currently have access to sufficient funds to meet our financial needs into the fourth quarter of 2015, our business strategy in the future will require us to raise additional capital through licensing, debt or equity sales, other means or any combination of these options. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including those factors described in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the 2013 Form 10-K annual report as well as the Company’s ability to execute on its business and strategic plans as currently conceived.

Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities was $8,405,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

The cash inflow was from the net proceeds of $29,420,000 from the April 2013 final round of a private placement offset by $3,000,000 for the repayment of bank debt.

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, other than operating leases, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. We do not have any interest in special purpose entities, structured finance entities or other variable interest entities.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies, which include management’s best estimates and judgments, are included in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in Celator Pharmaceuticals Inc.’s Form 10-K filed. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies since December 31, 2013.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We invest excess cash in investment grade, interest-bearing securities and at June 30, 2014, had approximately $22.3 million invested in money market instruments and certificates of deposit. Such investments are subject to interest rate and credit risk and are not fully insured by the federal government. We believe our policy of investing in highly rated securities, whose liquidities are, at June 30, 2014, all less than 90 days minimizes such risks. In addition, while a hypothetical one percent per annum decrease in market interest rates would have decreased our interest income for the period, it would not have resulted in a loss of the principal and the decline in interest income would have been immaterial to us.

The Company had outstanding total debt at June 30, 2014 of $10 million. Interest is payable monthly at the greater of 9.75% or an adjusted rate based upon the US prime rate with interest only period extendable to December 1, 2015, contingent upon achieving full enrollment of the CPX-351 Phase 3 study by December 31, 2014.

The majority of our business is conducted in U.S. dollars. However, we do conduct certain transactions in other currencies, including Canadian dollars. Historically, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have not materially affected our results of operations, and during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our results of operations were not materially affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) at the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding the disclosure.

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
