Cautionary Factors that May Affect Future Results
     The disclosure and analysis by OXiGENE, Inc. (the “Company”) in this report contain “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements give management’s current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historic or current facts. They use words, such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning. These include statements, among others, relating to the sufficiency of our financial resources, our planned future actions, our clinical trial plans, our research and development plans and expected outcomes, our prospective products or product approvals, our beliefs regarding our intellectual property position, our plans with respect to funding operations, projected expense levels, and the outcome of contingencies.
     Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual results may vary materially from those set forth in forward-looking statements. The uncertainties that may cause differences include, but are not limited to: the Company’s need for additional funds to finance its operations in the near term; the Company’s history of losses, anticipated continuing losses and uncertainty of future financing; the early stage of product development; uncertainties as to the future success of ongoing and planned clinical trials; the unproven safety and efficacy of products under development; the sufficiency of the Company’s existing capital resources; the Company’s dependence on others for much of the clinical development of its product candidates under development, as well as for obtaining regulatory approvals and conducting manufacturing and marketing of any product candidates that might successfully reach the end of the development process; the impact of government regulations, health care reform and managed care; competition from other companies and other institutions pursuing the same, alternative or superior technologies; the risk of technological obsolescence; uncertainties related to the Company’s ability to obtain adequate patent and other intellectual property protection for its proprietary technology and product candidates; dependence on officers, directors and other individuals; and risks related to product liability exposure.
     We will not update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by law. You are advised to consult any further disclosures we make in our reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our reports on Form 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K. Our filings list various important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.

OXiGENE, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
March 31, 2011
(Unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
     The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, however, all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.
     The balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for OXiGENE, Inc. (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2010, which can be found at www.oxigene.com. The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm at the beginning of the Consolidated Financial Statements section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes a going concern explanatory paragraph.
     In 2010, the Company entered into an “at the market” (ATM) equity offering sales agreement with McNicoll, Lewis & Vlak LLC, or MLV, pursuant to which it may issue and sell shares of its common stock from time to time through MLV acting as sales agent and underwriter. Sales of the Company’s common stock through MLV, if any, are made on the Company’s principal trading market by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions at market prices, in block transactions or as otherwise agreed by MLV and the Company. MLV uses its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Company’s common stock from time to time, based upon instructions from the Company (including any price, time or size limits the Company may impose). The Company pays MLV a commission rate of up to 7.0% of the gross sales price per share of any common stock sold through MLV as agent under the sales agreement. The Company has also provided MLV with customary indemnification rights.
     During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company sold approximately 677,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM sales agreement resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $1,625,000. From April 1, 2011 through May 2, 2011, the Company sold approximately 1,799,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM sales agreement resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $3,000,000. With the sale of shares under the ATM in April and May 2011, the Company has sold the maximum amount allowed under its prospectus supplement to Form S-3 dated January 31, 2011. No assurance can be given that the Company will sell any additional shares under the ATM sales agreement, or, if it does, as to the price or amount of shares that it will sell, or the dates on which any such sales will take place.
     Including the net proceeds from the sale of shares under the ATM sales agreement in April and May 2011 described above, the Company expects that its financial resources will be sufficient to fund its operations through August of 2011. OXiGENE’s cash requirements may vary materially from those now planned for or anticipated by management due to numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company is aggressively pursuing other forms of capital infusion including public or private financing, strategic partnerships or other arrangements with organizations that have capabilities and/or products that are complementary to the Company’s own capabilities and/or products, in order to continue the development of its product candidates. If the Company is unable to access additional funds when needed, it may not be able to continue the development of its product candidates or the Company could be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its development programs and other operations. Any additional equity financing, which may not be available to the Company or may not be available on favorable terms, may be dilutive to its current stockholders and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. If the Company accesses funds through collaborative or licensing arrangements, it may be required to relinquish rights to some of its technologies or product candidates that it would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize on its own, on terms that are not favorable to the Company. The Company’s ability to access capital when needed is not assured and, if not achieved on a timely basis, will materially harm its business, financial condition and results of operations. This uncertainty creates doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Fair Value
     The Company is required to disclose information on all assets and liabilities reported at fair value that enables an assessment of the inputs used in determining the reported fair values. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes valuation inputs based on the observable nature of those inputs. The fair value hierarchy applies only to the valuation inputs used in determining the reported fair value of the Company’s investments and is not a measure of the investment credit quality. The hierarchy defines three levels of valuation inputs:

7


Table of Contents

Level 1 inputs    Quoted prices in active markets;
 
Level 2 inputs    Generally include inputs with other observable qualities, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or quoted prices for identical assets in inactive markets; and
 
Level 3 inputs    Valuations based on unobservable inputs.
     As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, OXiGENE did not hold any assets or liabilities subject to these standards, except the derivative liabilities and other financial instruments discussed below in “ Warrants”, which are valued using level 3 inputs. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, OXiGENE held $2,705,000 and $4,677,000 in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, respectively. The Company has adopted the fair value standards as it relates to the non-recurring fair value measurements, such as the assessment of other long-lived assets for impairment.
Accrued Research and Development
     The Company charges all research and development expenses, both internal and external costs, to operations as incurred. The Company’s research and development costs represent expenses incurred from the engagement of outside professional service organizations, product manufacturers and consultants associated with the development of the Company’s potential product candidates. The Company recognizes expenses associated with these arrangements based on the completion of activities as specified in the applicable contracts. Costs incurred under fixed-fee contracts are expensed ratably over the contract period absent any knowledge that the services will be performed other than ratably. Costs incurred under contracts with clinical trial sites and principal investigators are generally accrued on a patient-treated basis consistent with the terms outlined in the contract. In determining costs incurred on some of these programs, the Company takes into consideration a number of factors, including estimates and input provided by internal program managers. Upon termination of such contracts, the Company is normally only liable for costs incurred and committed to date. As a result, accrued research and development expenses represent the Company’s reasonably estimated contractual liability to outside service providers at any particular point in time.
Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in the Company’s Common stock
     The Company evaluates all derivative financial instruments issued in connection with its equity offerings when determining the proper accounting treatment for such instruments in the Company’s financial statements. The Company considers a number of generally accepted accounting principles to determine such treatment. The Company performs a number of steps to evaluate the features of the instrument against the guidance provided in the accounting pronouncements in order to determine the appropriate accounting treatment. The Company’s policy with regard to settling outstanding financial instruments is to settle those with the earliest maturity date first which essentially sets the order of preference for settling the awards. In the majority of circumstances, the Company utilizes the Black Scholes method to determine the fair value of its derivative financial instruments. In some cases, where appropriate, the Company utilizes the Binomial method or other appropriate methods to determine the fair value of such derivative financial instruments. Key valuation factors in determining the fair value include, but are not limited to, the current stock price as of the date of measurement, the exercise price, the remaining contractual life, expected volatility for the instrument and the risk-free interest rate. Changes in fair value are recorded as a gain or loss in the Company’s Statement of Operations with the corresponding amount recorded as an adjustment to liability on its Balance Sheet. The expected volatility factor, in particular, is subject to significant variability from measurement period to measurement period and can result in large gains or losses from period to period.
Patents and Patent Applications
     The Company has filed applications for patents in connection with technologies that it is developing. The patent applications and any patents issued as a result of these applications are important to the protection of the Company’s technologies that may result from its research and development efforts. Costs associated with patent applications and maintaining patents are expensed as general and administrative expense as incurred.
Stock-based Compensation
     The Company expenses the estimated fair value of all share-based payments issued to employees over the vesting period. The Company has a 2005 Stock Plan (“2005 Plan”), which superseded its 1996 Stock Option Plan that provides for the award of stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights to employees, directors and consultants to the Company. The Company also has a 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2009 ESPP”).

Table of Contents

     The Company is required to estimate the level of award forfeitures expected to occur and record compensation expense only for those awards that are ultimately expected to vest. This requirement applies to all awards that are not yet vested, including awards granted prior to January 1, 2006. Accordingly, OXiGENE performs a historical analysis of option awards that were forfeited prior to vesting, and ultimately records total stock option expense that reflects this estimated forfeiture rate. In the Company’s calculation, it segregates participants into two distinct groups, (1) directors and officers and (2) employees, and OXiGENE’s applies estimated forfeiture rates using the Straight Line method. This analysis is re-evaluated quarterly and the forfeiture rate is adjusted as necessary.
Income Taxes
     The Company accounts for income taxes based upon the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, deferred taxes are recognized using the liability method whereby tax rates are applied to cumulative temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes based on when and how they are expected to affect the tax return.
     Realization of the deferred tax assets is uncertain due to the historical losses of the Company and therefore a full valuation allowance has been established.
2. Furniture and Fixtures, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
     Furniture and fixtures, equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years.
     Property and equipment consisted of the following at the dates indicated below:

  $ 70     $ 87  
 
           
3. License agreements
     In August 1999, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement for the commercial development, use and sale of products or services covered by certain patent rights owned by Arizona State University. From the inception of the agreement through March 31, 2011, the Company has paid a total of $2,500,000 in connection with this license. The Company capitalized the net present value of the total amount paid under the initial terms of the license, or $1,500,000, and is amortizing this amount over the patent life or 15.5 years.
     The Company expects to record amortization expense related to this license agreement of approximately $8,100 per month through November 2014. The net book value at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, was approximately $362,000 and $386,000, respectively. The Company performs an impairment analysis of its long-lived assets if triggering events occur. The Company conducts reviews for such triggering events periodically and, even though triggering events such as a going concern opinion and continuing losses occurred, the Company has determined that there is no impairment to this asset. The license agreement provides for additional payments from the Company upon the initiation of certain clinical trials or the completion of certain regulatory approvals, which payments could be accelerated upon the achievement of certain financial milestones as defined in the agreement. To date, no clinical trials triggering payments under the agreement have been completed and no regulatory approvals have been obtained. The Company expenses these payments to research and development in the period the obligation becomes both probable and estimable.

4. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit), Common and Preferred Shares
     The Company had 300,000,000 shares of common stock authorized as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. As of March 31, 2011 the Company had approximately 7,739,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
     In July 2010, the Company entered into an “at the market” (ATM) equity offering sales agreement with McNicoll, Lewis & Vlak LLC, or MLV, pursuant to which it may issue and sell shares of its common stock from time to time through MLV acting as its sales agent and underwriter. Sales of the Company’s common stock through MLV, if any, are made on the Company’s principal trading market by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions at market prices, in block transactions or as otherwise agreed by MLV and the Company. MLV uses its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Company’s common stock from time to time, based upon instructions from the Company (including any price, time or size limits the Company may impose). The Company pays MLV a commission rate of up to 7.0% of the gross sales price per share of any common stock sold through MLV as agent under the sales agreement. The Company has also provided MLV with customary indemnification rights. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company sold approximately 677,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM sales agreement resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $1,625,000. From April 1, 2011 through May 2, 2011, the Company sold approximately 1,799,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM sales agreement resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $3,000,000. With the sale of shares under the ATM in April and May 2011, the Company has sold the maximum amount allowed under its prospectus supplement to Form S-3 dated January 31, 2011. No assurance can be given that the Company will sell any additional shares under the ATM sales agreement, or, if it does, as to the price or amount of shares that it will sell, or the dates on which any such sales will take place.

     In February 2011, the Company’s board of directors voted unanimously to implement a 1:20 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, following authorization of the reverse split by a shareholder vote on December 21, 2010. The reverse split became effective on February 22, 2011. All of the share and per share values discussed and shown in the consolidated financial statements prior to this date have been adjusted to reflect the effect of this reverse stock split.
     Warrant Exchange Agreements
     On January 18, 2011, OXiGENE, entered into separate Warrant Exchange Agreements (Private Placement Warrant Exchange) with each of the holders of Series A and Series C warrants to purchase shares of common stock, issued in March 2010, pursuant to which, at the initial closing, the warrant holders exchanged their outstanding Series A and Series C warrants having “ratchet” price-based anti-dilution protections for (A) an aggregate of 1,096,933 shares of common stock and (B) Series E Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,222,623 shares of common stock. The Series E Warrants were not exercisable for six months, had an exercise price of $4.60 per share (reflecting the market value of the shares of common stock as of the close of trading on January 18, 2011, prior to the entry into the Warrant Exchange Agreements), and did not contain any price-based anti-dilution protections. In addition, the Company agreed to seek shareholder approval to issue, in exchange for the Series E Warrants, up to 457,544 additional shares of common stock to the warrant holders in a subsequent closing. The initial closing occurred on January 20, 2011, and the subsequent closing took place on March 21, 2011, following the stockholder meeting on March 18, 2011. As a result, there were no Series A, Series C or Series E warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2011. Similar to the Series A and Series C warrants, the Series E Warrants were classified as a liability during the period that they were outstanding.
     In connection with the warrant exchange, the Company also amended its Stockholder Rights Agreement with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, dated as of March 24, 2005, as amended as of October 1, 2008, October 14, 2009 and March 10, 2010, to provide that the provisions of the Stockholder Rights Agreement shall not apply to the transactions contemplated by the Warrant Exchange Agreements.

     Note that as of December 31, 2010, the Committed Equity Financing Facility warrants were accounted for as a liability. Effective with the PIPE Warrant exchange agreement, these warrants have been reclassified as equity. See full discussion below regarding warrant activity during the three month period ended March 31, 2011.
Private Issuance of Public Equity “PIPE” Warrants
     On March 11, 2010, the Company completed a definitive agreement with certain institutional investors to sell shares of its common stock and four separate series of warrants to purchase common stock in a private placement. Gross proceeds of the financing were approximately $7,500,000, before deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses, and excluding the subsequent exercises of the warrants.
     The four separate series of warrants consisted of the following:
     (A) Series A Warrants to initially purchase 328,947 shares of common stock, which were exercisable immediately after issuance, had a 5-year term and had an initial per share exercise price of $30.40;
     (B) Series B Warrants to initially purchase 328,947 shares of common stock, which were initially exercisable at a per share exercise price of $22.80, on the earlier of the six month anniversary of the closing date or the date on which the Company’s stockholders approve the issuance of shares in the transaction, and expired on the later of three months from the effective date of the resale registration statement covering such shares and seven months from the closing date. These warrants expired on October 12, 2010;

Table of Contents

     (C) Series C Warrants to initially purchase 328,947 shares of common stock, and which would be exercisable upon the exercise of the Series B Warrants and on the earlier of the six month anniversary of the closing date or the date on which the Company’s stockholders approve the issuance of shares in the transaction, would expire five years after the date on which they become exercisable, and had an initial per share exercise price of $22.80; and
     (D) Series D Warrants to purchase shares of common stock. The Series D Warrants were not immediately exercisable. The Company registered for resale 337,757 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series D Warrants pursuant to an agreement with the warrant holders. All of the Series D Warrants were exercised by November 4, 2010 and there are no Series D Warrants outstanding after that date.
     The Series A, B and C warrants listed above contained full ratchet anti-dilution features based on the price and terms of any financings completed after March 11, 2010 as described in the warrant agreements. All of the warrants listed above contained a cashless exercise feature as described in the warrant agreements.
     The Company determined that in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the Series A, B, and C warrants qualify for treatment as liabilities due to provisions of the related warrant agreements that call for the number of warrants and their exercise price to be adjusted in the event that the Company issues additional shares of common stock, options or convertible instruments at a price that is less than the initial exercise price of the warrants. The Company also determined that, in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Series D Warrants meet the definition of a derivative. The issuance date fair market value of the Series A, B, C and D warrants of $11,868,000 was recorded as a liability. The approximately $4,933,000 excess of the fair value of the liability recorded for these warrants over the net proceeds received was recorded as a charge to earnings and is included in “Change in fair value of warrants and other financial instruments” within the Statement of Operations. Changes in the fair market value from the date of issuance to the exercise date and reporting date, until exercised or cancelled will be recorded as a gain or loss in the statement of operations.
     As of December 31, 2010, all Series B and D warrants had either been exercised or expired.
     On January 18, 2011, OXiGENE, entered into separate Warrant Exchange Agreements with each of the holders of Series A and Series C warrants to purchase shares of common stock, issued in March 2010, pursuant to which, at the initial closing, the warrant holders exchanged their outstanding Series A and Series C warrants having “ratchet” price-based anti-dilution protections for (A) an aggregate of 1,096,933 shares of common stock and (B) Series E Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,222,623 shares of common stock. The Series E Warrants were not exercisable for six months, had an exercise price of $4.60 per share (reflecting the market value of the shares of common stock as of the close of trading on January 18, 2011, prior to the entry into the Warrant Exchange Agreements), and did not contain any price-based anti-dilution protections. In addition, the Company agreed to seek shareholder approval to issue, in exchange for the Series E Warrants, up to 457,544 additional shares of common stock to the warrant holders in a subsequent closing. The Series E Warrants were accounted for as a liability from the date of issuance to the date of exchange, all of which occurred during the three month period ended March 31, 2011. The initial closing occurred on January 20, 2011, and the subsequent closing took place on March 21, 2011, following the stockholder meeting on March 18, 2011. The Company determined that in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the Series E warrants qualify for treatment as a liability during the period that they were outstanding due to provisions of the related warrant agreement that allow for the warrants to be net settled in shares of the Company’s common stock under certain circumstances as described in the agreement. As a result, there were no Series A, Series C or Series E warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2011.
     On January 20, 2011, the date of the initial closing, the Company marked the existing Series A and C warrants to market at a combined fair value of $6,633,000. These warrants were exchanged for Series E warrants, valued at $1,555,000, and shares of common stock valued at $4,388,000. The difference between these items was recorded as a gain on the transaction of $690,000. On the date of the subsequent closing, the fair value of the Series E warrants was equal to the value of the 457,544 shares of common stock issued in the exchange, and therefore there was no gain or loss on the transaction.
     The table below summarizes the factors used to determine the value of the Series A and C warrants outstanding during the three month period ended March 31, 2011. The Company established the fair value of the Series A, and C warrants using the Black-Scholes option valuation model:

     Management determined the fair value of the Series E Warrants on the date of the initial closing to be $1,555,000. This fair value was estimated based upon the $4.00 per share fair value of the 457,544 shares of common stock expected to be exchanged for the Series E Warrants upon shareholder approval adjusted for a 15% discount for lack of marketability which existed until the expected shareholder vote. Management determined the fair value of the Series E warrants on the date of the subsequent closing to be $993,000. This fair value was estimated based upon the $2.17 per share fair value of the 457,544 shares of common stock exchanged for the Series E Warrants.
     Committed Equity Financing Facility (“CEFF”) with Kingsbridge Capital Limited
     In February 2008, OXiGENE entered into a Committed Equity Financing Facility (“CEFF”) with Kingsbridge Capital Limited (“Kingsbridge”), which was subsequently amended in February 2010 to increase the commitment period, increase the draw down discount price and increase the maximum draw period.
     Under the terms of the amended CEFF, Kingsbridge committed to purchase, subject to certain conditions, up to 285,401 shares of the Company’s common stock during the period which ends May 15, 2012. Under the CEFF, OXiGENE is able to draw down in tranches of the lesser of (i) $10,000,000 or (ii) a maximum of 3.75 percent of its closing market value at the time of the draw down or the alternative draw down amount calculated pursuant to the common stock purchase agreement, whichever is less, subject to certain conditions. The purchase price of these shares is discounted between 5 and 14 percent from the volume weighted average price of our common stock for each of the eight trading days following the election to sell shares. Kingsbridge is not obligated to purchase shares at prices below $0.75 per share or at a price below 85% of the closing share price of OXiGENE stock in the trading day immediately preceding the commencement of the draw down, whichever is higher. In connection with the CEFF, the Company issued a warrant to Kingsbridge to purchase 12,500 shares of its common stock at a price of $54.80 per share exercisable beginning six months after February 19, 2008 and for a period of five years thereafter. As of March 31, 2011, there remain a total of 253,671 shares available for sale under the CEFF.
     Due to the initially indeterminate number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants issued in connection with the Company’s private placement on March 11, 2010, OXiGENE concluded that the CEFF warrants should be recorded as a liability

effective with the date of the private placement. The fair value of the warrants on this date was reclassified from equity to derivative liabilities. Changes in the fair market value from the date of the private placement to the reporting date were recorded as a gain or loss in “Change in fair value of warrants and other financial instruments” in the Statement of Operations. Effective with the warrant exchange agreement executed in January 2011 in connection with the March 2010 private placement as described above, the number of shares underlying the warrants issued in connection with the Company’s private placement was no longer indeterminable, and the CEFF warrants were reclassified to equity. The Company revalued these warrants on the effective date of the exchange and recorded the gain in the statement of operations. The Company established the fair value of the CEFF warrants using the Black-Scholes option valuation model as reflected in the table below:

     Direct Registration Warrants
     On July 20, 2009, OXiGENE raised approximately $10,000,000 in gross proceeds, before deducting placement agents’ fees and other offering expenses, in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) relating to the sale of 312,500 units, each unit consisting of (i) one share of common stock, (ii) a five-year warrant (“Direct Registration Series I”) to purchase 0.45 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $42.00 per share of common stock and (iii) a short-term warrant (“Direct Registration Series II”) to purchase 0.45 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $32.00 per share of common stock (the “Units”). The short-term warrants expired on September 24, 2010 consistent with the terms of the warrant, without being exercised.
     OXiGENE determined that the Direct Registration Series I warrant should be classified as a liability as they require delivery of registered shares of common stock and thus could require net-cash settlement in certain circumstances. Accordingly, these warrants were recorded as a liability at their fair value as of the date of their issuance and are revalued at each subsequent reporting date.
     The fair value of the direct registration warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model applying the following assumptions:

Options
     The Company’s 2005 Stock Plan provides for the award of options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights to acquire up to 375,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. This number includes shares of its common stock, if any, that were subject to awards under the Company’s 1996 Plan as of the date of adoption of the 2005 Plan but which became or will become unissued upon the cancellation, surrender or termination of such award. Currently, the 2005 Plan allows for awards of up to

37,500 shares that may be granted to any participant in any fiscal year. For options subject to graded vesting, the Company elected the straight-line method of expensing these awards over the service period.

     During the three months ended March 31, 2011, 1,000 options expired. As of March 31, 2011 there was approximately $790,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock option awards that is expected to be recognized as expense over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.
     No stock options were granted during the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
     Non-Vested Restricted Stock
     As of March 31, 2011, the Company had 500 shares of non-vested restricted common stock outstanding, issued at a grant price of $81.80.
     The Company recorded contra expense of approximately $6,000 during the three month period ended March 31, 2011 and expense of approximately $10,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 related to outstanding restricted stock awards. The 500 shares of unvested restricted common stock at March 31, 2011 will vest in June 2011. The restricted stock awards were valued based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on their respective grant dates. Compensation expense is being recognized on a straight -line basis over the 4 year vesting period of the awards.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (2009 ESPP)
     In May 2009, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2009 ESPP”). Under the 2009 ESPP, employees have the option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at 85% of the closing price on the first day of each purchase period or the last day of each purchase period (as defined in the 2009 ESPP), whichever is lower, up to specified limits. Eligible employees are given the option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, on a tax-favored basis, through regular payroll deductions in compliance with Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Currently, an aggregate of 125,000 shares of common stock may be issued under the 2009 ESPP, subject to adjustment each year pursuant to the terms of the 2009 ESPP. The Company recorded expense relating to the 2009 ESPP for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 of approximately $1,000 and $2,000, respectively. Pursuant to the 2009 ESPP plan provisions, each year beginning in 2010 there will be an annual increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the ESPP on the first day of the new year in an amount equal to the lesser of: 25,000 shares or 5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the preceding fiscal year.
Director Compensation Policy
     In December 2009, the Board of Directors approved the amended and restated policy which established compensation to be paid to non- employee directors of the Company, to provide an inducement to obtain and retain the services of qualified persons to serve as members of the Company’s Board of Directors. As a result of this plan, each of the Company’s non-employee Directors are granted 1,250 fully vested shares of common stock on both January 2 and July 1 of each year they are a director. The Company recorded expense for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, of $35,000 and $100,000, respectively for these shares.

5. Agreements
     In July 2010, the Company entered into an “at the market” equity offering sales agreement with McNicoll, Lewis & Vlak LLC, or MLV, pursuant to which it may issue and sell shares of its common stock from time to time through MLV acting as its sales agent and underwriter. Sales of the Company’s common stock through MLV are made on the Company’s principal trading market by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions at market prices, in block transactions or as otherwise agreed by MLV and the Company. MLV uses its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Company’s common stock from time to time, based upon instructions from the Company (including any price, time or size limits the Company may impose). The Company pays MLV a commission rate of up to 7.0% of the gross sales price per share of any common stock sold through MLV as agent under the sales agreement. The Company has also provided MLV with customary indemnification rights
6. Net Loss Per Share
     Basic and diluted net loss per share was calculated by dividing the net loss per share attributed to OXiGENE shares of common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. All of the Company’s common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive for all periods in which the Company has reported a net loss. Accordingly, common stock equivalents of approximately 466,000 and 1,366,000 at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares for diluted net loss per share.
7. Subsequent Event
     From April 1, 2011 through May 2, 2011, the Company sold approximately 1,799,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM sales agreement resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $3,000,000.
     The Company did not have any other material recognizable or unrecognizable subsequent events that occurred after March 31, 2011 up through the date the Company issued these financial statements.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     We are a clinical-stage, biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics to treat cancer and eye diseases. Our primary focus is the development of product candidates referred to as vascular disrupting agents, or VDAs, that selectively disable and destroy abnormal blood vessels that provide solid tumors a means of growth and survival and also are associated with visual impairment in a number of ophthalmological diseases and conditions. To date, more than 400 subjects have been treated with ZYBRESTAT, our lead candidate, in human clinical trials, and the drug candidate has generally been observed to be well-tolerated.
We expect cash on hand, plus the proceeds of our at-the-market equity offering sales agreement received in April and May as described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to fund our operations through August 2011. If we are unable to access additional funds when needed, we will not be able to continue the development of our product candidates and could be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our development programs and other operations. Such funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we fail to secure financing before the end of August 2011, we would be forced to cease all of our clinical and other activities. Please see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for a more detailed discussion of our liquidity. Any additional equity financing, which may not be available to us or may not be available on favorable terms, most likely will be dilutive to our current stockholders and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. If we access funds through collaborative or licensing arrangements, we may be required to relinquish rights to some of our technologies or product candidates that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize on our own, on terms that are not favorable to us. Our ability to access capital when needed is not assured and, if not achieved on a timely basis, will materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm at the beginning of the Consolidated Financial Statements section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes a going concern explanatory paragraph.

     ZYBRESTAT for Oncology
     We are currently pursuing the development of ZYBRESTAT, a reversible tubulin binding agent that works by disrupting the network of blood vessels, or vasculature, within tumors, also referred to as vascular disruption. ZYBRESTAT selectively targets the existing abnormal vasculature found specifically in most solid tumors and causes endothelial cells in that vasculature to become round and block the flow of blood to the tumor. The downstream tumor environment is then deprived of oxygen, and the resulting restriction in blood supply kills the cells in the central portion of the tumor. Based on ZYBRESTAT’s positive activity observed in animal models, we have conducted multiple clinical trials of ZYBRESTAT in a variety of tumor types. Currently, we are pursuing clinical trials of ZYBRESTAT in patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and ovarian cancer.
FACT (fosbretabulin in anaplastic cancer of the thyroid) trial — Phase 2/3 study with ZYBRESTAT in anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC)
     In earlier Phase 1 studies of ZYBRESTAT in ATC, clinical investigators observed several objective responses in treatment with ZYBRESTAT, including a complete response lasting more than 13 years, in patients with ATC. A subsequent Phase 2 study in 26 ATC patients showed a 23% rate of one year survival in a disease where median expected survival of patients is approximately 3-4 months from the time of diagnosis and fewer than 10% of patients are typically alive at one year.
     Based on this encouraging data, we completed a Special Protocol Assessment, or SPA, process with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, in 2007, for a Phase 2/3 study, which we refer to as the FACT trial, in which ZYBRESTAT was to be evaluated in 180 patients as a potential treatment for ATC. ATC is a highly aggressive and lethal malignancy for which there are currently no approved therapeutics and extremely limited treatment options.
     ZYBRESTAT was awarded orphan drug status by the FDA and the European Commission in the European Union for the treatment of advanced ATC and for the treatment of medullary, Stage IV papillary and Stage IV follicular thyroid cancers. The FDA also granted Fast Track designation to ZYBRESTAT for the treatment of regionally advanced and/or metastatic ATC.
     The primary endpoint for the FACT trial is overall survival. Eligible patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed ATC were randomized either to the treatment arm of the study, in which they received ZYBRESTAT in combination with the chemotherapeutic agents carboplatin and paclitaxel, or to the control arm of the study, in which they received only carboplatin and paclitaxel. Central pathology review by external pathologists not associated with the study was utilized to confirm the histological diagnosis.
     The FACT trial began enrolling patients in 2007. A total of 40 clinical sites in 11 countries participated in this clinical study, which was conducted in accordance with good clinical practice guidelines and the SPA. Due to the rarity of the disease and the fact that most of the patients screened for the study either died or no longer met the trial’s inclusion criteria, the enrollment period spanned more than twice the planned 18 month period. As a result of both the length of the enrollment period and financial constraints affecting us, in February 2010, we chose to continue to treat and follow all 80 patients who were enrolled in the Phase 2/3 FACT clinical trial in ATC in accordance with the SPA, but to stop further enrollment. Initial data from this trial was presented at both the 14th International Thyroid Congress on September 12, 2010 in Paris, France and the 35th European Society of Medical Oncology Congress on October 11, 2010 in Milan, Italy. At these meetings, we reported data suggesting a one-month benefit in overall survival in patients receiving ZYBRESTAT in combination with chemotherapy. Of particular note was the fact that the one year survival rate was more than doubled from 9% to 23% for patients receiving chemotherapy plus ZYBRESTAT. The additional data we presented in October also included some pre-defined subgroup analyses that confirmed the overall survival benefit initially observed, and also indicated that ZYBRESTAT improved the survival of patients with the most advanced stages of the disease, as well as patients who had been heavily pretreated with surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. We expect to present data from an additional event-driven survival analysis among the 80 enrolled patients at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) conference in June 2011.
     The FDA has been informed that enrollment in this study was halted at 80 patients and that we expected that the SPA would no longer be applicable. The orphan drug status and the expedited review designations have not been affected by the halted enrollment in the Phase 2/3 study. On March 16, 2011, we met with the FDA to discuss the results of this study and a potential path forward. The FDA indicated at the meeting that the data from the FACT trial are suggestive of possible clinical activity that may warrant continued development, and that to seek regulatory approval, we should plan to conduct an additional clinical trial with a survival endpoint. The FDA also confirmed that, as we expected, the SPA that had been agreed upon at the start of the study is no longer in effect.
     FALCON (fosbretabulin in advanced lung oncology) trial — randomized, controlled Phase 2 study with ZYBRESTAT in non-small cell lung cancer
     We are currently evaluating ZYBRESTAT in a 63-patient, randomized, controlled Phase 2 clinical trial, which we refer to as the FALCON trial, as a potential first-line treatment for non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC. In the FALCON trial, patients are

randomized either to the treatment arm of the study, in which they receive ZYBRESTAT (CA4P) in combination with the chemotherapeutic agents, carboplatin and paclitaxel, and bevacizumab, a drug that interferes with blood vessel growth, or angiogenics, or to the control arm of the study, in which they receive a standard combination regimen of carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumab. We believe that this study will suggest a benefit of ZYBRESTAT in NSCLC therapy. We further believe these data could be used to design a pivotal registration program with ZYBRESTAT in NSCLC and more generally, provide clinical validation supporting further evaluation of ZYBRESTAT in combination with commonly used anti-angiogenic therapeutics that act by selectively inhibiting a particular blood vessel growth path, namely, the vascular endothelial growth factor, or VEGF, pathway.
     We presented an update of the safety and clinical activity data for this trial at the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer symposium in November 2010 in Berlin, Germany. The updated interim data showed that the median time to progression for patients receiving ZYBRESTAT plus bevacizumab and chemotherapy was 9.5 months, compared with a median time to progression of 8.8 months for patients receiving bevacizumab and chemotherapy alone. Of the patients in the study arm (ZYBRESTAT combined with bevacizumab and carboplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy), 50% achieved a partial response, compared with the control arm (bevacizumab and chemotherapy) of the trial, where only 38% of patients achieved a partial response. The combination regimen including ZYBRESTAT was observed to be well-tolerated with no significant cumulative toxicities when compared with the control arm of the study. We expect to present the overall survival data from this study at the ASCO meeting in June 2011.
     ZYBRESTAT in ovarian cancer
     On June 1, 2009, we reported positive final data from an investigator-sponsored Phase 2 study of ZYBRESTAT and carboplatin plus paclitaxel chemotherapy in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer at the 2009 ASCO Annual Meeting. Of 44 patients enrolled in the study, 11 (25%) had confirmed partial responses as determined by the Gynecologic Cancer Inter Group (GCIG) response criteria, i.e., response by tumor imaging (RECIST) and/or ovarian cancer biomarker (CA-125) criteria. An additional 4 patients had unconfirmed partial responses, and stable disease responses were reported in an additional 16 patients. The combination regimen of ZYBRESTAT and carboplatin plus paclitaxel chemotherapy was observed to be well-tolerated with approximately half of the patients completing all 6 cycles of therapy.
     Based on the results of this Phase 2, single-arm, two-stage study, in February 2011, we announced that we have entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) to collaborate on the conduct of a randomized Phase 2 trial of ZYBRESTAT in combination with bevacizumab in up to 110 patients with relapsed, platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer. Under the terms of the agreement, we will provide ZYBRESTAT to NCI for an NCI-sponsored study conducted by the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG), an organization dedicated to clinical research in the field of gynecologic cancer. The aim of the trial will be to determine if the combination of ZYBRESTAT and bevacizumab will enhance anti-tumor effects and further delay tumor progression when compared to bevacizumab alone. We anticipate that investigators will initiate enrollment in this Phase 2 study in the first half of 2011. The primary endpoint of the study will be progression-free survival, with results expected to become available in early 2013.
     Possible areas for future development
     We believe that, if successful, the ongoing ZYBRESTAT for oncology clinical trial program will establish a compelling rationale for further development of ZYBRESTAT as a treatment for:
    aggressive and difficult-to-treat solid tumors;
 
    use in combination with chemotherapy in a variety of solid tumors, particularly those in which carboplatin and/or paclitaxel chemotherapy are commonly used; and
 
    use in combination with commonly used drugs, such as bevacizumab, that interfere with blood vessel growth, or angiogenics, in various solid tumor indications.
     We believe these areas for potential further development collectively represent a significant unmet medical need and thus a significant potential commercial market opportunity that includes cancers of the thyroid, ovary, kidney, liver, head and neck, breast, lung, skin, brain, colon and rectum. Further development of our ongoing clinical trials will depend on continuing analysis and results of these ongoing clinical studies and our cash resources at that time.
     OXi4503, a unique, second generation VDA for oncology indications
     We are currently pursuing development of OXi4503, a second-generation, dual-mechanism VDA, as a treatment for certain solid tumor types and, as a more recent development, for the treatment of myeloid leukemias. We believe that OXi4503 is differentiated from other VDAs by its dual-action activity: in addition to having potent vascular disrupting effects, OXi4503 is

19


Table of Contents

unique in that certain enzymes in the human body can help convert it to a form of chemical that has direct tumor cell killing effects. We believe this unique property may result in enhanced anti-tumor activity in certain tumor types as compared with other VDA drug candidates. Based on data from preclinical studies, we believe that OXi4503 may have enhanced activity in tumor types with relatively high levels of the enzymes that facilitate the conversion of OXi4503 to the form of chemical that kills tumor cells. These tumor types include hepatocellular carcinoma, melanoma, and leukemias of the myeloid lineage. In preclinical studies, OXi4503 has shown potent anti-tumor activity against solid tumors and acute myeloid leukemia models, both as a single agent and in combination with other cancer treatment modalities.
     We have completed a Phase 1 clinical trial of OXi4503 in patients with advanced solid tumors sponsored by Clinical Research United Kingdom. In collaboration with us, Professor Gordon Rustin and colleagues from the Mount Vernon Cancer Research Centre, UK and other institutions in the United Kingdom, reported positive final data from this study at the 2010 ASCO Annual Meeting. In this study, 45 patients with advanced solid tumors who had declined or were unresponsive to standard treatment were treated with escalating doses of OXi4503. Partial responses were observed in two patients with epithelial ovarian cancer and stable disease was observed in 9 patients. OXi4503 was also observed to be well-tolerated in this study. To date, OXi4503 has been observed to have a manageable side-effect profile similar to that of other agents in the VDA class, potential single-agent clinical activity, and effects on tumor blood flow and tumor metabolic activity, as determined with several imaging modalities. We also evaluated escalating doses of OXi4503 in an ongoing OXiGENE-sponsored Phase 1b trial, initiated in the first quarter of 2009 in patients with solid tumors with hepatic involvement. This study confirmed the recommended dose established in the first Phase 1 study. Patient follow-up and final analysis of the data from the latter trial is ongoing.
     Based on the results of preclinical studies published in the journal Blood in September 2010 that show OXi4503 has potent activity against acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in animal models, we entered into a clinical trial agreement pursuant to which investigators at the University of Florida initiated an investigator sponsored Phase 1 study of OXi4503 in patients with AML or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in May of 2011. This open-label, dose-escalating study for the treatment of up to 36 patients is being conducted in patients with relapsed or refractory AML and MDS and will evaluate the safety profile, maximum tolerated dose and biologic activity of OXi4503 in these patients. We expect that initial indications of biologic activity from this study may be available as early as the first half of 2012.
     The general direction of future development of OXi4503 — solid tumors or hematologic indications — will depend on the outcome of the analysis of both the solid tumor studies and the study in AML, as well as available financial resources and potential partnering activities.
     ZYBRESTAT for Ophthalmology
     In addition to developing ZYBRESTAT as an intravenously administered therapy for oncology indications, we have undertaken an ophthalmology research and development program with ZYBRESTAT with the ultimate goal of developing a topical formulation of ZYBRESTAT for ophthalmological diseases and conditions that are characterized by abnormal blood vessel growth within the eye that result in loss of vision. Previously, we reported results at the 2007 annual meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, or ARVO, from a Phase 2 study in patients with myopic macular degeneration in which all patients in the study met the primary clinical endpoint of vision stabilization at three months after study entry.
     In December 2010, we completed a randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled Phase 2 proof-of-mechanism trial, which we refer to as the FAVOR trial, with a single dose of intravenously-administered ZYBRESTAT in patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), a form of choroidal neovascularization, which is a condition where new blood vessels form in the choroid, a part of the eye, and which can lead to vision loss and, ultimately, blindness. Current therapies, including approved drugs that interfere with blood vessel growth, known as anti-angiogenics, appear to provide limited benefit. We believe that the architecture of the abnormal vasculature in certain eye tissues, namely the retina and choroid, which contribute to PCV patients’ loss of vision, may be particularly susceptible to treatment with a VDA such as ZYBRESTAT.
     We believe that PCV represents an attractive target indication and development pathway for ZYBRESTAT. Unlike wet age-related macular degeneration, an indication for which several anti-angiogenic drugs are approved or prescribed off-label, conducting clinical studies of ZYBRESTAT in patients with ophthalmologic indications not yet approved for treatment with such anti-angiogenic drugs could potentially prove to reduce development time and expense. The objectives of the FAVOR trial and the ongoing preclinical program of ZYBRESTAT in ophthalmology are:
    determine the therapeutic utility of ZYBRESTAT in PCV, and visualize the effect of ZYBRESTAT on the vasculature of the polyps associated with PCV;
 
    determine blood concentrations of drug required for activity in humans and thereby estimate, with the benefit of preclinical data, an appropriate dose of topically-administered ZYBRESTAT to be evaluated in subsequent human clinical studies; and
 
    further evaluate the feasibility of developing a topical formulation of ZYBRESTAT for ophthalmological indications.

Table of Contents

     Findings from the Phase 2 study, including effects on retinal thickness and retinal bleeding, are expected to be presented at a future ophthalmology meeting.
     We believe that a safe, effective and convenient topically-administered anti-vascular therapeutic would have advantages over currently approved anti-vascular, ophthalmological therapeutics, many of which must be injected directly into patients’ eyes, in some cases on a chronic monthly basis.
     For this purpose we have been developing a potential “minitab” topical formulation of ZYBRESTAT which has demonstrated attractive pharmacokinetic and safety properties and efficacy in destroying abnormal vasculature in a rat choroidal melanoma model following administration in the eye. We believe that a topical formulation would enhance our partnering opportunities to further develop ZYBRESTAT in diseases of the eye.
     To date, we have completed preclinical testing that indicated that ZYBRESTAT has activity in six different preclinical ophthalmology models, including a model in which ZYBRESTAT was combined with an approved drug that interferes with blood vessel growth, or anti-angiogenic agents. We have also completed multiple preclinical studies suggesting that ZYBRESTAT, when applied topically to the surface of the eye at doses that appear to be well-tolerated, penetrates to the retina and choroid in quantities that we believe should be sufficient for therapeutic activity.
     We are also evaluating the requirements for additional preclinical toxicology and efficacy studies with ZYBRESTAT for topical ophthalmological formulations to better position the program for partnering. Further development of this program will depend on the outcome of our evaluation of these requirements and available financial resources.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
Revenue
     We reported no licensing revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Our only current source of revenue is from the license to a third party of our formerly owned Nicoplex and Thiol nutritional and diagnostic technology. Future revenues from this license agreement are expected to be minimal. We do not expect to generate material revenue or fee income in the near future unless we enter into a major licensing arrangement.

     The reduction in external services expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same three month period in 2010 is primarily attributable to a reduction in spending on our ZYBRESTAT for Oncology program of approximately $2,000,000. This reduction is primarily attributable to lower costs on our ATC study for the comparable periods in connection with our decision to discontinue further recruitment of patients into this study in February 2010. In addition, we experienced reductions in expenses for both our OXi4503 and ZYBRESTAT for Ophthalmology programs for the comparable periods, primarily related to our decision in February 2010 to scale back efforts in some of our projects in these areas as well.
     The reduction in employee compensation and related expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same three month period of 2010 is due to a 43% reduction in our average full time equivalents for the comparable periods. In February 2010 we implemented a Company wide restructuring plan due to our decision to scale back activities in some of our ongoing clinical projects.
     The reduction in other expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same three month period of 2010 is primarily due to a reduction in both our research and development facility related costs as well as program wide support costs for the comparable periods.

     The reduction in employee compensation and related expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same three month period of 2010 is due to a reduction in our average full time equivalents for the comparable periods of 25%. In February 2010 we implemented a Company wide restructuring plan due to our decision to scale back activities in some of our ongoing clinical projects.
     The reduction in consulting and professional services expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same three month period of 2010 is primarily due to a one time cost incurred in the first quarter of 2010 in our attempt to acquire VaxGen Inc and due to lower non-cash expense for director fees.
Restructuring Plan
     In February 2010, we announced a restructuring plan designed to focus resources on our highest-value clinical assets and reduce our cash utilization. We incurred a charge of $510,000 in connection with this restructuring. Key aspects of the restructuring and its effects on our current clinical trials were as follows:

Table of Contents

  We continue to advance our Phase 2 ZYBRESTAT trial in non-small cell lung cancer (FALCON study), with updated safety and efficacy results anticipated for presentation at the upcoming American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting in June 2011.
 
  We stopped further enrollment in the Phase 2/3 FACT clinical trial in anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC), but have continued to treat and follow all patients who enrolled in the study. This approach has optimized our ability to gain useful additional insight into ZYBRESTAT’s antitumor activity earlier than the previously anticipated timeline, while also reducing cash utilization in 2010 and beyond.
 
  We discontinued enrolling patients in our OXi4503 Phase 1b trial in patients with hepatic tumors. We are evaluating the results received to date.
 
  We discontinued enrollment in our Phase 2 FAVOR study of ZYBRESTAT in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), a form of macular degeneration.
 
  Future development decisions concerning the OXi4503 program and the ZYBRESTAT for ophthalmology program will be made following these analyses and additional review by our management and board of directors.
 
  In addition, we reduced our workforce by 20 employees or approximately 49%.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources
     To date, we have financed our operations principally through net proceeds received from private and public equity financing and through our strategic development arrangement with Symphony. We have experienced negative cash flow from operations each year since our inception, except in fiscal 2000. As of March 31, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $208,563,000. We expect to continue to incur increased expenses, resulting in losses, over at least the next several years due to, among other factors, our continuing and planned clinical trials and anticipated research and development activities. We had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $2,705,000 at March 31, 2011.

     Non-cash adjustments to net loss in the three month period ended March 31, 2011 consist primarily of a gain from a change in the fair value of warrants and other financial instruments of $2,210,000, offset in part by stock compensation expense of $157,000 related to the issuance of options to purchase our common stock. The net change in operating assets and liabilities is primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other payables of $425,000 and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $285,000. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 is primarily attributable to the sale of common stock under our “at the market” equity financing facility discussed below.
     In February 2010, we announced a restructuring of our clinical development programs. This restructuring plan is designed to focus our resources on our highest-value clinical assets and reduce our cash utilization. As a part of this restructuring we stopped further enrollment in our Phase 2/3 anaplastic thyroid cancer clinical trial (FACT) and reduced our work force by approximately 49% (20 employees). Further development of our ongoing clinical trials will depend on upcoming analysis and results of these ongoing clinical studies and our cash resources at that time.
     This re-alignment of priorities in clinical programs together with the reduction in force has resulted in a reduction in the cash required to operate our business by almost 50% on a quarterly basis from the average $6,500,000 per quarter we experienced in the first half of 2010. We expect the continued reduction in our cash utilization from operations over the course of 2011 as our current clinical projects reach completion.

     On March 11, 2010 we completed a definitive agreement with certain institutional investors to sell shares of our Common Stock and four separate series of warrants to purchase Common Stock in a private placement. Gross proceeds of the financing were approximately $7,500,000, before deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses, and excluding the subsequent exercises of the warrants.
     The four separate series of warrants consisted of the following:
     (A) Series A Warrants to initially purchase 328,947 shares of common stock, which were exercisable immediately after issuance, had a 5-year term and had an initial per share exercise price of $30.40;
     (B) Series B Warrants to initially purchase 328,947 shares of common stock, which were initially exercisable at a per share exercise price of $22.80, on the earlier of the six month anniversary of the closing date or the date on which the Company’s stockholders approve the issuance of shares in the transaction, and expired on the later of three months from the effective date of the resale registration statement covering such shares and seven months from the closing date. These warrants expired on October 12, 2010;
     (C) Series C Warrants to initially purchase 328,947 shares of common stock, and which would be exercisable upon the exercise of the Series B Warrants and on the earlier of the six month anniversary of the closing date or the date on which the Company’s stockholders approve the issuance of shares in the transaction, would expire five years after the date on which they become exercisable, and had an initial per share exercise price of $22.80; and
     (D) Series D Warrants to purchase shares of common stock. The Series D Warrants were not immediately exercisable. The Company registered for resale 337,757 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series D Warrants pursuant to an agreement with the warrant holders. All of the Series D Warrants were exercised by November 4, 2010 and there are no Series D Warrants outstanding after that date.
     The Series A, B and C warrants listed above contained full ratchet anti-dilution features based on the price and terms of any financings completed after March 11, 2010 as described in the warrant agreements. All of the warrants listed above contained a cashless exercise feature as described in the warrant agreements.
     We determined that in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the Series A, B, and C warrants qualify for treatment as liabilities due to provisions of the related warrant agreements that call for the number of warrants and their exercise price to be adjusted in the event that we issue additional shares of common stock, options or convertible instruments at a price that is less than the initial exercise price of the warrants. We also determined that, in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Series D Warrants meet the definition of a derivative. The issuance date fair market value of the Series A, B, C and D warrants of $11,868,000 was recorded as a liability. The approximately $4,433,000 excess of the fair value of the liability recorded for these warrants over the net proceeds received was recorded as a charge to earnings and is included in “Change in fair value of warrants and other financial instruments” within the Statement of Operations. Changes in the fair market value from the date of issuance to the exercise date and reporting date, until exercised or cancelled will be recorded as a gain or loss in the statement of operations.
     On January 18, 2011, we, entered into separate Warrant Exchange Agreements with each of the holders of warrants to purchase shares of common stock, issued in March 2010, pursuant to which, at the initial closing, the warrant holders exchanged their outstanding Series A and Series C warrants having “ratchet” price-based anti-dilution protections for (A) an aggregate of 1,096,933 shares of common stock and (B) Series E Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,222,623 shares of common stock. The Series E Warrants were not exercisable for six months, had an exercise price of $4.60 per share (reflecting the market value of the shares of common stock as of the close of trading on January 18, 2011, prior to the entry into the Warrant Exchange Agreements), and did not contain any price-based anti-dilution protections. In addition, we agreed to seek shareholder approval to issue, in exchange for the Series E Warrants, up to 457,544 additional shares of common stock to the warrant holders in a subsequent closing. The Series E Warrants were accounted for as a liability from the date of issuance to the date of exchange, all of which occurred during the three month period ended March 31, 2011. The initial closing occurred on January 20, 2011, and the subsequent closing took place on March 21, 2011, following the stockholder meeting on March 18, 2011.
     In July 2010, we entered into an “at the market” (ATM) equity offering sales agreement with McNicoll, Lewis & Vlak LLC, or MLV, pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock from time to time through MLV acting as our sales agent and underwriter. Sales of our common stock through MLV are made on the principal trading market of our common stock by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions at market prices, in block transactions or as otherwise agreed by MLV and us. MLV uses its commercially reasonable efforts to sell our common stock from time to time, based upon our instructions (including any price, time or size limits we may impose). We pay MLV a commission rate of up to 7.0% of the gross sales price per share of any common stock sold through MLV as agent under the sales agreement. We have also provided MLV with customary indemnification rights.
     During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we sold 677,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the sales agreement resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $1,625,000. From April 1, 2011 through May 2, 2011, we sold approximately

25


Table of Contents

1,799,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM sales agreement resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $3,000,000. With the sale of shares under the ATM in April and May 2011, we have sold the maximum amount allowed under our prospectus supplement to Form S-3 dated January 31, 2011. No assurance can be given that we will sell any additional shares under the ATM sales agreement, or, if we do, as to the price or amount of shares that we will sell, or the dates on which any such sales will take place.
     We will need to access additional funds to remain a going concern beyond August 2011. Including net proceeds from the sale of shares in April and May 2011 under the ATM sales agreement described above, we expect that our financial resources will be sufficient to fund our operations through August of 2011. We are aggressively pursuing other forms of capital infusion including public or private financing, strategic partnerships or other arrangements with organizations that have capabilities and/or products that are complementary to our own capabilities and/or products, in order to continue the development of our product candidates. If we are unable to access additional funds when needed, we would not be able to continue the development of our product candidates or we could be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our development programs and other operations. Any additional equity financing, which may not be available to us or may not be available on favorable terms, may be dilutive to our current stockholders and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. If we access funds through collaborative or licensing arrangements, we may be required to relinquish rights to some of our technologies or product candidates that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize on our own, on terms that are not favorable to us. Our ability to access capital when needed is not assured and, if not achieved on a timely basis, will materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. This uncertainty creates doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
     Our cash utilization amount is highly dependent on the progress of our potential-product development programs, particularly, the results of our pre-clinical projects and clinical trials, the cost, timing and outcomes of regulatory approvals for our product candidates, the terms and conditions of our contracts with service providers for these programs, and the rate of recruitment of patients in our human clinical trials much of which is not within our control as well as the timing of hiring development staff to support our product development plans. The anticipated reduction in our cash utilization resulting from our restructuring plans is highly dependent on the timeliness and effectiveness of renegotiating our contracts with the vendors and service providers involved with the restructuring plans.
     Our cash requirements may vary materially from those now planned for or anticipated by management due to numerous risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the progress of and results of our pre-clinical testing and clinical trials of our VDA drug candidates under development, including ZYBRESTAT, our lead drug candidate, and OXi4503; the progress of our research and development programs; the time and costs expended and required to obtain any necessary or desired regulatory approvals; the resources, if any, that we devote to developing manufacturing methods and advanced technologies; our ability to enter into licensing arrangements, including any unanticipated licensing arrangements that may be necessary to enable us to continue our development and clinical trial programs; the costs and expenses of filing, prosecuting and, if necessary, enforcing our patent claims, or defending ourselves against possible claims of infringement by us of third party patent or other technology rights; the costs of commercialization activities and arrangements, if any, undertaken by us; and, if and when approved, the demand for our products, which demand is dependent in turn on circumstances and uncertainties that cannot be fully known, understood or quantified unless and until the time of approval, for example the range of indications for which any product is granted approval.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
     Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us 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 financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be appropriate under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making the judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
     Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and in our notes to the financial statements set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     At March 31, 2011, we did not hold any derivative financial instruments. As of March 31, 2011 we do not hold any commodity-based instruments or other long-term debt obligations. We account for all of our other warrants issued in connection with our equity financings as liabilities.
     We have adopted an Investment Policy, the primary objectives of which are to preserve principal, maintain proper liquidity to meet operating needs and maximize yields while preserving principal. Although our investments are subject to credit risk, we follow procedures to limit the amount of credit exposure in any single issue, issuer or type of investment. Our investments are

26


Table of Contents

also subject to interest rate risk and will decrease in value if market interest rates increase. However, due to the conservative nature of our investments and relatively short duration, we believe that interest rate risk is mitigated. Our cash and cash equivalents are maintained in U.S. dollar accounts. Although we conduct a number of our trials and studies outside of the United States, we believe our exposure to foreign currency risk to be limited as the arrangements are in jurisdictions with relatively stable currencies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
     Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
     The Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, requires that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and report on the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that we record, process, summarize and report the information we must disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
     Changes in Internal Control.
     There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with the evaluation of such control that occurred during the last fiscal quarter, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
     Important Considerations.
     The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
     Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC.
We will be required to raise additional funds to finance our operations and remain a going concern; we may not be able to do so when necessary, and/or the terms of any financings may not be advantageous to us.
     Our operations to date have consumed substantial amounts of cash. Negative cash flows from our operations are expected to continue over at least the next several years. Our cash utilization amount is highly dependent on the progress of our product development programs, particularly, the results of our preclinical and clinical studies, the cost, timing and outcomes of regulatory approval for our product candidates, the terms and conditions of our contracts with service providers for these programs, and the rate of recruitment of patients in our human clinical trials.
     In addition, the further development of our ongoing clinical trials will depend on upcoming analysis and results of those studies and our cash resources at that time.
     We expect cash on hand to fund our operations through August 2011. In order to remain a going concern beyond August 2011, we will require significant funding. Additional funds to finance our operations may not be available on terms that we deem acceptable, or at all. If we fail to secure financing before the end of August 2011, we would be forced to cease all of our clinical and other activities.

27


Table of Contents

     Our ongoing capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including: the progress and results of preclinical testing and clinical trials of our product candidates under development, including ZYBRESTAT and OXi4503; the progress of our research and development programs; the time and costs expended and required to obtain any necessary or desired regulatory approvals; the resources, if any, that we devote to develop manufacturing methods and advanced technologies; our ability to enter into licensing arrangements, including any unanticipated licensing arrangements that may be necessary to enable us to continue our development and clinical trial programs; the costs and expenses of filing, prosecuting and, if necessary, enforcing our patent claims, or defending against possible claims of infringement by third-party patent or other technology rights; the cost of commercialization activities and arrangements, if any, undertaken by us; and, if and when approved, the demand for our products, which demand depends in turn on circumstances and uncertainties that cannot be fully known, understood or quantified unless and until the time of approval, including the range of indications for which any product is granted approval.
     If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we will not be able to continue development of our product candidates or we will be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our development programs or cease operations. We may seek to raise additional funds through public or private financing, strategic partnerships or other arrangements. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to our current stockholders and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. If we raise funds through collaborative or licensing arrangements, we may be required to relinquish, on terms that are not favorable to us, rights to some of our technologies or product candidates that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize. Our failure to raise capital when needed will materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm at the beginning of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes a going concern explanatory paragraph.
We face the potential delisting of our common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market due to the uncertainty of our ability to achieve compliance with certain continued listing requirements by June 13, 2011 . If we are unable to meet these requirements, we could be required to list our common stock in the over-the-counter market, which could make obtaining future financing more difficult.
     Prior to March 3, 2011, the Company’s stock was listed on the NASDAQ Global Market. Companies listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price per share of $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. On June 17, 2010, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of our common shares closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) for continued inclusion on The NASDAQ Global Market. In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we had an initial grace period of 180 calendar days, or until December 14, 2010, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. In addition, companies listed on The NASDAQ Global Market are subject to delisting for failure to maintain a minimum market value of $50,000,000 during any consecutive 30 day period. On July 21, 2010, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the market value of our common shares did not meet the $50,000,000 minimum market value requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(b)(A) for continued inclusion on The NASDAQ Global Market. In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), we had an initial grace period of 180 calendar days, or until January 18, 2011, to regain compliance with the minimum market value requirement. We did not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and the minimum market value requirement by December 14, 2010 and January 18, 2011, respectively.
     On March 1, 2011, a NASDAQ Stock Market Hearings Panel advised us of its decision to transfer the listing of our common stock from The NASDAQ Global Market to The NASDAQ Capital Market and continue our listing on that market, provided that we regain compliance by June 13, 2011 with all continued listing standards of The NASDAQ Capital Market and have evidenced a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for a minimum of ten prior consecutive trading days. This compliance deadline represents the full extent of the NASDAQ Stock Market Hearing Panel’s authority to grant an exception and allow the continued listing of our common stock while we remain deficient with respect to the continued listing standards. Should we be unable to timely regain compliance with NASDAQ’s continued listing standards by June 13, 2011, the Hearings Panel indicated it will issue a final determination to delist our common stock and suspend trading of our common stock on The NASDAQ Stock Market, to be effective on the second business day from the date of the final determination. On March 10, 2011, NASDAQ notified us that we regained compliance with the minimum $1.00 per share closing bid price requirement for continued listing. We must also regain compliance with the $35,000,000 minimum market value of listed securities requirement or the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity requirement prior to June 13, 2011 or our common stock will be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market.
     On April 6, 2011, we received written notification from NASDAQ that, as a result of Roy H. Fickling’s resignation from our board of directors, we no longer comply with NASDAQ’s independent director and audit committee requirements as set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rules 5605(b)(1) and 5605(c)(2), respectively. The NASDAQ Listing Rules require that a majority of our board of directors be composed of independent directors and that the audit committee of the board of directors be composed of at least three independent directors. Pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rules 5605(b)(1)(A) and 5605(c)(4), we have been provided with a cure period in order to regain compliance as follows: until the earlier of our next annual shareholders’ meeting or March 31, 2012; or if the next

28


Table of Contents

annual shareholders’ meeting is held before September 27, 2011, then we must evidence compliance no later than September 27, 2011. The nominating and governance committee of our board is currently evaluating potential candidates to fill the vacancy on our board of directors and is assessing the composition of its audit committee.
     We cannot be sure that we will be able to timely regain compliance with The NASDAQ Stock Market’s listing standards. Neither can we be sure that we will comply with the requirements for continued listing of our common shares on The NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If our common shares lose their status on The NASDAQ Capital Market, our common shares would likely trade in the over-the-counter market.
     If our shares were to trade on the over-the-counter market, selling our common shares could be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of us may be reduced. In addition, in the event our common shares are delisted, broker-dealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common shares, further limiting the liquidity of our common shares. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for common shares.
     Such delisting from The NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price and market value could also greatly impair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing, and could significantly increase the ownership dilution to shareholders caused by our issuing equity in financing or other transactions.
