ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS  

Overview 

PART I 

The Company is a clinical stage biotechnology company with its lead cancer drug candidate, Liposomal Grb-2 (“L-Grb-2” or “BP1001”), currently in clinical 
trials. The Company was founded with technology from The University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center (“MD Anderson”) and is dedicated to developing novel 
cancer drugs under an exclusive license arrangement. The Company has drug delivery platform technology with composition of matter intellectual property for systemic
delivery  of  antisense.  Bio-Path  also  plans  to  investigate  developing  liposome  tumor  targeting  technology,  which  has  the  potential  to  be  developed  to  augment  the
Company’s current delivery technology to improve further the effectiveness of its antisense. In addition to its existing technology under license, the Company expects to
maintain a close working relationship with key members of the MD Anderson staff, which has the potential to provide Bio-Path with additional drug candidates in the
future. Bio-Path also expects to broaden its technology to include cancer drugs other than antisense, including drug candidates licensed from institutions other than MD
Anderson. 

Bio-Path  believes  that  its  core  technology,  if  successful,  will  enable  it  to  be  at  the  center  of  emerging  genetic  and  molecular  target-based  therapeutics  that 
require  systemic  delivery  of  DNA  and  RNA-like  material.  The  Company’s  two  liposomal  antisense  drug  candidates  are  targeted  to  treat  acute  myeloid  leukemia
(“AML”),  myelodysplastic  syndrome  (“MDS”),  chronic  myelogenous  leukemia  (“CML”),  acute  lymphoblastic  leukemia  (“ALL”)  and  follicular  lymphoma,  and  if 
successful, could potentially be used in treating many other indications of cancer. 

Plan of Operation 

Vision 

A  world  where  life-threatening  or  debilitating  diseases  become  manageable  chronic  disorders  through  use  of  non-toxic  drug  treatments  that  preserve  the

patient’s quality of life. 

Mission 

Develop  neutral  lipid  delivery  technology  for  antisense  therapeutics  to  produce  safe,  effective  drugs  to  control  diseases  like  cancer,  diabetes,  rheumatoid

arthritis, cardiovascular and neuromuscular disorders. 

Strategy 

Our strategy consists of five principle steps: 

(1) Complete the Phase I clinical trial of our lead liposomal antisense drug candidate to provide scientific data that will demonstrate the effectiveness
of the neutral lipid delivery technology in delivering an antisense drug substance through the human body to a diseased cell, enabling the drug
substance  to  be  delivered  across  the  cell’s  membrane  into  the  interior  of  the  cell  where  it  can  block  the  cell’s  production  of  the  target  disease 
protein.  Utilize  proprietary  new  assays  developed  by  the  Company  to  measure  down-regulation  of  the  drug  substance  target  protein  and 
pharmacokinetics as the principle way of demonstrating effectiveness of the delivery technology.

(2) Capitalize on the results of Liposomal Grb-2 in the Phase I trial to build value in the Company quickly, through Phase II development plans of
AML, MDS and CML that offer the potential for rapid clinical approval and development plans for additional treatments for other types of cancer
that build on Liposomal Grb-2’s established safety profile.

(3) After  demonstrating  proof  of  principle  of  the  delivery  technology  in  human  patients,  expand  the  number  of  patented  drugs  in  our  pipeline  by
applying the composition of matter delivery technology template to new protein targets that meet scientific, preclinical and commercial criteria.
These efforts may include collaboration and will likely include developing drug candidates for diseases other than cancer.

4

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
(4) Initiate a wide-ranging, proactive licensing program after proof of principle of the delivery technology that will include a wide range of licensing
arrangements  including  co-development  of  a  specific  liposomal  antisense  drug  candidate,  sub-licensing  the  delivery  template  for  outside
development  of  one  or  more  liposomal  antisense  drug  candidates  or  an  out-license  of  a  partially  developed  drug  for  final  development  and 
marketing.

(5) Enter into a licensing business development transaction in the near term as a means to develop the cash flow to fund burn rate and minimize future

dilution.

Our plan of operation over the next three years is focused on achievement of certain milestones with the intent to demonstrate clinical proof-of-concept of our 
drug delivery technology and our drug candidates. Furthermore, subject to adequate capital, we will attempt to validate our business model by in-licensing additional 
protein targets for development as liposomal antisense products to broaden our drug product pipeline. 

Our  Phase  I  trial  proved  that  L-Grb2  can  be  safely  delivered  systemically  to  patients  at  high  doses.  We  also  believe  that  the  opportunity  to  develop,  in
conjunction with MD Anderson, our lead cancer drug Liposomal Grb-2 to treat triple negative breast cancer (“TNBC”) and inflammatory breast cancer (“IBC”), two 
cancers characterized by formation of aggressive tumors and relatively high mortality rates, is promising. We also now have raised sufficient capital to capitalize on the
results seen to date in our lead drug candidate Liposomal Grb-2 by aggressively pursuing Phase II clinical trials and developing Liposomal Grb-2 treatments for other 
cancer types. 

Accordingly, our near term plan is to achieve five key milestones: 

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

(5)

initiate  and  complete  Phase  II  clinical  trials  on  our  lead  drug  candidate  BP1001  in  AML  in  combination  with  low  dose  Ara-C  in  both 
refractory patients and new patients that are ineligible for intensive induction therapy with AML, as well as additional combination studies for
treatments of CML and MDS;

complete pre-clinical development of BP1001 for TNBC and IBC and, as appropriate, initiate a Phase I clinical trial on BP1001 for TNBC
and IBC;

initiate a Phase I clinical trial on our second drug candidate BP1002 in follicular lymphoma;

begin  developing  additional  drug  candidates  for  development  and  a  program  to  out-license  (non-exclusively)  or  co-develop  our  delivery 
technology  with  a  pharmaceutical  partner for  development  of  a  specific  liposomal antisense  drug  candidate to  generate  cash  flow  to cover
burn rate and avoid shareholder dilution, as well as to speed development applications of our technology; and

finalize building out a core organization that can develop and conduct the Phase I and Phase II clinical programs and conduct evaluation of
several new drug candidates.

Basic Technical Information 

Ribonucleic  acid  (“RNA”)  is  a  biologically significant  type of  molecule  consisting  of  a  chain of  nucleotide units.  Each  nucleotide  consists  of  a  nitrogenous
base, a ribose sugar, and a phosphate. Although similar in some ways to DNA, RNA differs from DNA in a few important structural details.   RNA is transcribed from
DNA  by  enzymes  called  RNA  polymerases  and  is  generally  further  processed  by  other  enzymes.  RNA  is  central  to  protein  synthesis.  DNA  carries  the  genetic
information of a cell and consists of thousands of genes. Each gene serves as a recipe on how to build a protein molecule. Proteins perform important tasks for the cell
functions or serve as building blocks. The flow of information from the genes determines the protein composition and thereby the functions of the cell. 

The  DNA  is  situated  in  the  nucleus  of  the  cell,  organized  into  chromosomes.  Every  cell  must  contain  the  genetic  information  and  the  DNA  is  therefore
duplicated before a cell divides (replication). When proteins are needed, the corresponding genes are transcribed into RNA (transcription). The RNA is first processed so
that non-coding parts are removed (processing) and is then transported out of the nucleus (transport). Outside the nucleus, the proteins are built based upon the code in
the RNA (translation). 

Our basic drug development concept is to block the expression of proteins that cause disease.  RNA is essential in the process of creating proteins.   We intend
to develop drugs and drug delivery systems that are intended to work by delivering short strands of DNA material that are inserted into a cell to block the production of
proteins associated with disease.

The historical perspective of cancer treatments has been the use of drugs that affect the entire body.  Advances in the past decade have shifted to treating the
tumor tissue  itself.  One  of  the main  strategies  in  these  developments  has been  targeted  therapy,  involving drugs that  are targeted to  block  the expression  of  specific
disease  causing  proteins  while  having  little  or  no  effect  on  other  healthy  tissue.  Nucleic  acid  drug  products,  specifically  antisense,  are  a  promising  field  of  targeted
therapy.  Development of antisense, however, has been limited by the lack of a suitable method to deliver these drugs to the diseased cells with high uptake into the cell
and without causing toxicity.  Bio-Path’s currently licensed neutral-lipid based liposome technology is designed to accomplish this.  Studies conducted at MD Anderson
have shown a 10-fold to 30-fold increase in tumor cell uptake with this technology compared to other delivery methods. 

BP1001 

Indications  for  Acute  Myeloid  Leukemia  (AML),  Chronic  Myelogenous  Leukemia  (CML),  Myelodysplastic  Syndrome  (MDS)  and  Acute  Lymphoblastic
Leukemia (ALL) 

BP1001 is our lead liposome delivered antisense drug candidate, which has been clinically tested in patients having AML, CML, MDS and ALL.  

The Investigational New Drug (“IND”) for BP1001 was submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in February 2008 and included all in 
vitro testing, animal studies and manufacturing and chemistry control studies completed.  The FDA requested some changes be made to the application submission.  We
resubmitted information to the FDA in response to such request. On March 12, 2010, we issued a press release announcing that the FDA had allowed an IND for our
lead cancer drug candidate liposomal BP1001 to proceed into clinical trials.  The IND review process was performed by the FDA's Division of Oncology Products and
involved a comprehensive review of data submitted by us covering pre-clinical studies, safety, chemistry, manufacturing, and controls, and the protocol for the Phase I
clinical trial.  The primary objective of the Phase I clinical trial, as in any Phase I clinical trial, is the safety of the drug for treatment of human patients.  Additional key
objectives of the trial are to demonstrate the effectiveness of our drug delivery technology similar to that experienced in pre-clinical treatment of animals and to assess
whether the drug candidate test article produces a favorable impact on the cancerous condition of the patient at the dose levels of the study. 

The Phase I clinical trial was a dose-escalating study to determine the safety and tolerance of escalating doses of L-Grb-2. The study determined an optimal 
biologically active dose for further development. The pharmacokinetics of L-Grb-2 in patients from the study are being evaluated. In addition, patient blood samples
from the trial were tested using a new assay developed by us to measure down-regulation of the target protein, the critical scientific data that demonstrated the delivery
technology does in fact successfully deliver the antisense drug substance to the cell and across the cell membrane into the interior of the cell where expression of the
target protein is blocked. The clinical trial was conducted at MD Anderson. 

The original IND granted by the FDA in March of 2010 allowed us to proceed with a Phase I clinical trial having five cohorts culminating in a maximum dose
of 50 mg/m 2. However, in November of 2012, we announced that since there had been no evidence of significant toxicity from treatment of patients with L-Grb-2, we 
requested the FDA to allow higher dosing in patients. The Principal Investigator (as defined below) for the clinical trial, in consultation with our board of directors (the
“Board”), advised us that with the absence of any real toxicity barriers, we should continue to evaluate higher doses of Liposomal Grb-2. The absence of significant 
toxicity provided a significant opportunity for us to test higher doses in patients in order to find a dose that provides maximum potential benefit and duration of anti-
leukemia effect. These actions were approved and a revised protocol was submitted allowing higher dosing. We announced in October of 2014 that we completed Cohort
6, successfully treating three patients at a dose 90 mg/m2. There has been no evidence of significant toxicity from treatment of patients with L-Grb-2 in our Phase I 
clinical trial.   

An  important  outcome  for  the  Phase  I  clinical  trial  is  the  ability  to  assess  for  the  first  time  the  performance  of  our  delivery  technology  platform  in  human
patients. We have developed two new assays to be able to provide scientific proof of concept of the delivery technology. The first involves a novel detection method for
the drug substance in blood samples that will be used to assess the pharmacokinetics of the drug. The second involves a method to measure down-regulation of the target 
protein in a patient blood sample that was achieved. The latter measurement will provide critical proof that the neutral liposome delivery technology delivered the drug
substance to the cell and was able to transport it across the cell membrane into the interior to block cellular production of the Grb-2 protein. 

6

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
In this regard, in August of 2013 we announced that our liposomal delivery technology achieved a major milestone in the development of antisense therapeutics
based  on  a  scientific  assay  confirming  that  treating  patients  with  its  drug  candidate  BP1001  inhibits  the  Grb-2  disease-causing  target  protein  in  patients  with  blood
cancers.  Inhibition  of  the  disease-causing  protein  has  the  effect  of  down  regulating  the  disease.  This  will  allow  for  Liposomal  Grb-2  to  be  used  potentially  in 
combination with current frontline treatments. This discovery also points to the potential use of a liposomal antisense treatment as a standalone treatment to transform
and  manage  a  disease,  which  has  a  disease  causing  protein,  as  a  chronic  disorder.  This  accomplishment  is  potentially  a  significant  breakthrough  for  antisense
therapeutics, whose development, to date, as a class of therapeutics has been severely limited by a lack of a systemic delivery mechanism that can safely distribute the
drug throughout the body and get the antisense drug substance across the cell membrane into the interior of the cell. Further, we expect that scientific proof of principal
for our delivery technology may lead to licensing and business development opportunities, furthering our business model. 

The Principal Investigator for the Phase I clinical trial, Jorge Cortes, M.D. (the “Principal Investigator”), is a leading expert in the treatment of CML, AML, 
MDS  and  ALL.  Because  the  results  of  the  first  trial  produced  unexpected  and  clinically  interesting  results  in  some  patients,  the  Principal  Investigator  prepared  an
abstract  of  the  results  of  the  first  cohort  that  was  accepted  for  presentation  at  the  American  Society  of  Hematology  (“ASH”)  annual  meeting  in  December  of  2011.
Results that demonstrated potential anti-leukemia benefits in treated patients were included in the presentation. Subsequently, in fall of 2013 the Principal Investigator
prepared  an  abstract  of  updated  information  on  the  results  of  the  clinical  trial  through  Cohort  5,  which  was  accepted  for  presentation  at  the  ASH  annual  meeting  in
December of 2013. Highlights (which have been updated to include patients from Cohort 6) of the presentation prepared by the Principal Investigator for the meeting
included: 

Data from the Phase I Clinical Trial 

•
•
•

Among 20 evaluable patients, 15 demonstrated anti-leukemia activity with reduction in peripheral or bone marrow blasts from baseline.
Five patients demonstrated transient improvement and/or stable disease, three of whom received a total of five cycles each. 
Two patients, in addition to achieving market blast percentage declines, also experienced transient improvements in leukemia cutis lesions. 

Disease Stabilization in MDS and AML 

•

•

Two patients with MDS, a 53-year-old male and a 72-year-old female, both achieved disease stabilization and continued therapy for five cycles before 
disease progression.
 A 54-year-old HIV positive male with AML achieved stable disease and marked reduction in peripheral blasts, continuing therapy for five cycles 
before disease progression.

Experience in CML-Blast Phase 

•
•

•

Patient with myeloid blast crisis of CML.
Prior therapies consist of: imatinib, dastinib, nilotinib, DCC-2036, Cytarabine + Fludarabine + Dasatinib + Gemtuzumab, PHA-739358, Clofarabine + 
Dasatinib.
Upon start of BP1001, patient showed a significant reduction in blasts from 81 percent to 5 percent but due to leptomeningeal disease progression 
discontinued therapy before full cycle.

Inhibition of Target Grb-2 Protein 

•
•
•

Grb-2 levels were compared to baseline prior to treatment.
On day 15, BP1001 decreased Grb-2 in seven of eleven samples tested (average reduction 53 percent).
End of treatment day 15, BP1001 decreased Grb-2 levels in ten out of twelve patients (average reduction 50 percent).

Being a platform technology, a successful demonstration of the delivery technology in this study allows us to begin expanding our drug candidates by simply
applying the delivery technology template to multiple new drug product targets. In this manner, we can quickly build an attractive drug product pipeline with multiple
drug  product  candidates  for  treating  cancer  as  well  as  treating  other  important  diseases  including  diabetes,  cardiovascular  conditions  and  neuromuscular  disorders.
Currently, we are researching potential targets for which we can apply our liposomal antisense drug delivery technology and have already identified two new candidates.

The Phase I clinical trial is typically ended when a maximum tolerated dose (“MTD”) is encountered. However, due to the lack of toxicity of the drug, a MTD 
was not observed. As a result, an optimal biological dose was determined and we completed Cohort 6 of our Phase I clinical trial. It is noted, however, that the lack of
toxicity is a major advantage for the drug candidate BP1001 since it allows higher levels of drug to be administered to the patient, increasing the potential therapeutic
benefit. 

On February 9, 2015, we announced that we began enrollment into the safety segment of our Phase II clinical trial on BP1001 in patients with AML. The safety
segment of our combination therapy Phase II clinical trial in AML consists of two dosing cohorts (60 mg/m2 and 90mg/m2) to test the safety profile of treating AML
patients  first  with  BP1001  and  low  dose  Ara-C.  Patients  ineligible  for  intensive  induction  therapy  are  currently  treated  only  with  low  dose  Ara-C.  This  trial  will 
determine if adding BP1001 will yield better response rates in this AML patient population. Following the safety portion, the trial will then be opened in multiple centers
to test 40-60 patients with the combination. An interim analysis will be performed after approximately 20 patients have been treated with the combination therapy.

In  addition,  plans  and  evaluation  of  manufacturing  scale-up  of  the  drug  substance  batch  size  continued.  Scale-up  of  manufacturing  batch  size  produced
divergence  from  desired  drug  substance  product  parameters,  with  some  product  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2013  not  being  acceptable  for  use.  The  most  recent
manufacturing scale-up drug substance batch appears to have corrected this with excellent product performance testing and the most recent batches have met criteria for
use in the clinical trial. Scale-up of manufacturing output of drug substance product and final drug product is critical to meeting the anticipated potential for high volume
requirements  of  our  drug  products  for  patients  in  multiple  diseases.  The  larger  size  drug  substance  and  final  product  batch  sizes  will  also  substantially  drive  down
manufacturing  cost  per  drug  unit.  Further  to  this,  plans  are  in  place  and  testing  is  ongoing  to  increase  the  amount  of  drug  substance  per  manufactured  vial,  which
increase  even  further  effective  capacity  of  our  drug  manufacturing.  We  are  also  currently  working  to  add  a  second  manufacturer  for  each  of  the  key  areas  of  drug
substance, lipids and final drug product. Our recent success in raising capital should also improve drug supply by providing the financial resources that will enable us to
commit to multiple drug batches beyond those required to satisfy near-term requirements. 

 Indications for Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) and Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) 

On July 22, 2013, we announced that we were  initiating preclinical testing of  BP1001  into two  additional indications: TNBC and IBC. TNBC  tumors do not
express estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and low Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (“HER2”). These negative results mean that the growth of the 
cancer is not supported by the hormones estrogen and progesterone, or by the presence of too many HER2 receptors. Therefore, TNBC does not respond to hormonal
therapy or therapies that target HER2 receptors. In addition, TNBC tumors are very aggressive. Approximately 15 to 20 percent of breast cancers are triple-negative. 
IBC is a rare and very aggressive disease in which cancer cells block lymph vessels in the skin of the breast. This type of breast cancer is called “inflammatory” because 
the breast often looks  swollen  and red, or  “inflamed.”  IBC accounts for  two to five  percent of  all breast  cancers. IBC  tumors are very aggressive and are frequently
hormone receptor negative, which means hormone therapies may not be effective. Five year survival rate for IBC is approximately 40% versus approximately 87% for
all breast cancers combined, making IBC a priority area for development of new treatments. 

Our plan is to develop BP1001 as a targeted therapy against TNBC and IBC. Treatment goals are two-pronged: the first being to develop BP1001 as a tumor 
reduction agent  in  combination  with  other  approved  drugs  in  pre-operative  settings, and  the  second  is  to  develop  BP1001  as  a  drug  to  treat  and  control  or  eliminate
cancer metastasis in TNBC and IBC patients. Both of these treatment goals address high need situations for patients. Following successful completion of the preclinical
studies, we expect to start a Phase I clinical trial in TNBC and IBC in late 2015. We believe that the observations that we learned from the original Phase I trial will
allow us to progress relatively quickly in such Phase I trial in TNBC and IBC, as the toxicity profile of BP1001 is currently well established. 

BP1002 

BP-100-1.02 (“Bcl-2” or “BP1002”) is our second liposome delivered antisense drug candidate. The scientific name for BP1002 is Liposomal Bcl-2, a liposome 
delivered antisense cancer drug. BP1002 is ready for clinic and is intended to target the lymphoma and certain solid tumor markets. Clinical targets for BP1002 include
lymphoma, breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer and leukemia. Liposomal Bcl-2 has the potential to treat 40%-60% of solid tumors. 

Bcl-2  is  a  protein  that  is  involved  in  regulating  apoptosis  or  programmed  cell  death.  Apoptosis  is  a  physiologic  mechanism  of  cell  turnover  by  which  cells 
actively  commit  suicide  in  response  to  aberrant  external  signals.  Over-expression  of  Bcl-2  prevents  the  induction  of  apoptosis  in  response  to  cellular  insults  such  as
treatment with chemotherapeutic agents. Bcl-2 is over-expressed in more than 90% of follicular B-cell non-Hodgkins lymphoma due to a chromosomal rearrangement 
and is the key factor in the initiation of this malignancy. Bcl-2 is also overexpressed in a wide variety of solid tumors (it is estimated to be over-expressed in 40% of 
cancers). For example, Bcl-2 over-expression has been associated with the progression of prostate cancer from hormone dependence to hormone independence and may
contribute to the relative drug resistant phenotype typically observed in hormone independent prostate cancer. 

On December 22, 2014, we announced that we initiated development of BP1002 as a treatment for follicular lymphoma. We expect to file a new IND to begin

clinical testing of BP1002 in patients with follicular lymphoma in the first half of 2015. 

 Other Liposomal Antisense Products 

As noted previously, we intend to apply our drug delivery technology template to new disease-causing protein targets as a means to develop new, liposomal 
antisense  drug  candidates.  A  new  product  identification  template  was  recently  approved  that  defines  a  process  of  scientific,  pre-clinical,  commercial  and  intellectual 
property evaluation of potential new drug candidates for inclusion into our drug product development pipeline. A significant amount of capital will be allocated for in-
licensing promising protein targets that can be developed as new liposomal antisense drug candidates.

Definitions 

The following definitions are intended to assist you in understanding certain matters discussed in this “Item 1. Description of Business”: 

Antisense is a  medication  containing  part  of  the  non-coding  strand  of  messenger  RNA  (mRNA),  a  key  molecule  involved  in  the  translation  of  DNA  into
protein. Antisense drugs hybridize with and inactivate mRNA. This stops a particular gene from producing the protein for which it holds the recipe. Antisense drugs
have been developed or are "in the pipeline" to treat eye disease in AIDS, lung cancer, diabetes and diseases such as arthritis and asthma with a major inflammatory
component. 

Acute  Myeloid  Leukemia  (AML)  is  a  cancer  of  the  myeloid  line  of  white  blood  cells,  characterized  by  the  rapid  proliferation  of  abnormal  cells  which
accumulate in the bone marrow and interfere with the production of normal blood cells. AML is the most common acute leukemia affecting adults, and its incidence
increases with age. Although AML is a relatively rare disease, accounting for approximately 1.2% of cancer deaths in the United States, its incidence is expected to
increase as the population ages. The symptoms of AML are caused by replacement of normal bone marrow with leukemic cells, resulting in a drop in red blood cells,
platelets,  and  normal  white  blood  cells.  These  symptoms  include  fatigue,  shortness  of  breath,  easy  bruising  and  bleeding,  and  increased  risk  of  infection.  Although
several  risk  factors  for  AML  have  been  identified,  the  specific  cause  of  AML  remains  unclear.  As  an  acute  leukemia,  AML  progresses  rapidly  and  is  typically  fatal
within weeks or months if left untreated. Acute myeloid leukemia is a potentially curable disease, but only a minority of patients are cured with current therapy. 

Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) is a form of leukemia characterized by the increased and unregulated growth of predominantly myeloid cells in the
bone  marrow  and  the  accumulation  of  these  cells  in  the  blood.  CML  is  a  clonal  bone  marrow  stem  cell  disorder  in  which  proliferation  of  mature  granulocytes
(neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils) and their precursors is the main finding. It is a type of myeloproliferative disease associated with a characteristic chromosomal
translocation called the Philadelphia chromosome. 

Liposomal  Delivery  Technology is  used  for  drug  delivery  due  to  their  unique  properties.  A  liposome  encapsulates  a  region  on  aqueous  solution  inside  a
hydrophobic  membrane;  dissolved  hydrophilic  solutes  cannot  readily  pass  through  the  lipids.  Hydrophobic  chemicals  can  be  dissolved  into  the  membrane,  thereby
incorporating the materials, and in this way liposome can carry both hydrophobic molecules and hydrophilic molecules. To deliver the molecules to sites of action, the
lipid bilayer can fuse with other bilayers such as the cell membrane, thus delivering the liposome contents. By making liposomes in a solution of DNA or drugs (which
would normally be unable to diffuse through the membrane) they can be (indiscriminately) delivered past the lipid bilayer. 

Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) are a diverse collection of hematological conditions united by ineffective production (or dysplasia) of myeloid blood cells
and  risk  of  transformation  to  acute  myelogenous  leukemia.  Anemia  requiring  chronic  blood  transfusion  is  frequently  present.  Myelodysplastic  syndromes  are  bone
marrow  stem  cell  disorders  resulting  in  disorderly  and  ineffective  hematopoiesis  (blood  production)  manifested  by  irreversible  quantitative  and  qualitative  defects  in
hematopoietic (blood-forming) cells. In a majority of cases, the course of disease is chronic with gradually worsening cytopenias due to progressive bone marrow failure.

Nucleic Acid Drug Products are nucleic acid  base  sequences that play a crucial role in the expression of gene. The gene is responsible for the synthesis of
proteins  and  these  proteins,  which  are  synthesized,  are  responsible  for  the  biological  process  including  diseases.  If  the  nucleic  acid  sequence  is  altered,  it  could  be
possible to block or transfer the message for protein synthesis, thereby preventing the particular protein, which is responsible for the disease. These nucleic acids act as
drugs by different mechanisms, they may bind with the synthesized proteins, and they can hybridize to a messenger RNA leading to translation arrest or may induce
degradation to target RNA. In this way the nucleic acids can act as drugs for inhibiting gene expression or protein synthesis.

Research and Development 

Our  research  and  development  is  currently  conducted  through  agreements  we  have  with  MD  Anderson.  We  have  added  a  new  research  and  development
relationship for pre-clinical testing and anticipate that new research and development relationships will be added in the future for clinical trials that require multiple sites
for  patient  testing.  Research  and  development  expenses  incurred  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2014,  2013  and  2012  were  approximately  $1.63  million,  $1.52
million  and  $1.13  million,  respectively.  Research  and  development  -  related  party  expenses  incurred  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2014,  2013  and  2012  were
approximately $0.2 million, $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively.  

Projected Financing Needs 

We currently have projects defined including a multicenter Phase II trial in AML for BP1001, potential multicenter center Phase II trials in CML and MDS, a
Phase I trial in TNBC and IBC, a Phase I trial in BP1002 in follicular lymphoma, and administrative, license and business development costs over the next three years.
These projects and support costs could require up to $22 million through December 2018. We had approximately $14 million cash on hand at December 31, 2014, so an
additional $8 million would be required to be raised over the next three years. 

The scientific evidence that our liposomal delivery technology achieved a major milestone in the development of antisense therapeutics based on a scientific
assay confirming that treating patients with its drug candidate BP1001 inhibits the Grb-2 disease-causing target protein in patients with blood cancers could potentially 
be  very  significant  in  helping  to  meet  future  funding  needs.  We  envision  that  we  might  be  able  to  enter  into  licensing/development  agreements  with  potential
pharmaceutical company partners seeking systemic antisense drug treatments, which could potentially provide funding from the partner for us to develop their liposomal
antisense drug candidate, with residual milestone payments and potential back-end royalty payments if the drug candidate became an FDA approved drug. There are
many potential licensing/development structures, which would vary in terms of favorability. 

We have generated approximately seven full years of financial information and have demonstrated that we have been able to expand our business through an
increased investment in our technology and trials. We cannot guarantee that plans as described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K will be successful or that we can 
continue to receive additional capital investment. Our business is subject to risks inherent in growing an enterprise, including, but not limited to, limited capital resources
and  possible  rejection  of  our  new  products  and/or  clinical  development  methods.  If  financing  is  not  available  on  satisfactory  terms  or  at  all,  we  may  be  unable  to
continue expanding our operations. Equity financing will result in a dilution to existing shareholders. For a detailed discussion of risks associated with our business,
please see “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” 

Background Information about MD Anderson 

We anticipate that our initial drug development efforts will be pursuant to our exclusive license agreement with MD Anderson. MD Anderson's stated vision is
"Making Cancer History" (www.mdanderson.org).  Achieving that goal begins with integrated programs in cancer treatment, clinical trials, educational programs and
cancer prevention.  MD Anderson is one of the largest and most widely recognized cancer centers in the world: U.S. News & World Report's America's "Best Hospitals"
survey has ranked MD Anderson as one of the top two best hospitals in the nation since the survey began in 1990. MD Anderson will treat more than 100,000 patients
this year, of which approximately 11,000 will participate in therapeutic clinical research exploring novel treatments, which is the largest such program in the nation. MD
Anderson employs more than 15,000 people including more than 1,000 medical doctors and Ph.D. clinicians and researchers, and is routinely conducting more than 700
clinical trials at any one time. 

Each year, researchers at MD Anderson and around the globe publish numerous discoveries that have the potential to become or enable new cancer drugs. The
pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have more than four hundred cancer drugs in various stages of clinical trials. Yet the number of actual new drugs that are
approved to treat this dreaded disease is quite small and its growth rate is flat or decreasing. A successful new drug in this market is significant and substantially impacts
those companies who have attained it: Genentech's Avastin, Novartis' Gleevec, OSI's Tarceva and Millennium's Velcade are examples of such drugs. 

Over the past several years MD Anderson has augmented its clinical and research prominence through the establishment of the Pharmaceutical Development
Center ("PDC").  The PDC was formed for the sole purpose of helping researchers at MD Anderson prepare their newly discovered compounds for clinical trials.  It has
a full-time staff of professionals and the capability to complete all of the studies required to characterize a compound for the filing of an IND with the FDA, which is
required to initiate clinical trials.  These studies include pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution, metabolism studies and toxicology studies. 

10

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
We anticipate being able to use the PDC as a possible source for some of the pre-clinical work needed in the future, potentially at a lower cost than what it 
would cost to use a for-profit contract research organization. There is no formal arrangement between us and PDC and there can be no certainty that we will have access
to PDC or that even if we do have access, that our costs will be reduced over alternative service providers. 

Relationship with MD Anderson 

We were founded to focus on bringing the capital and expertise needed to translate drug candidates developed at MD Anderson (and potentially other research
institutions) into real treatment therapies for cancer patients.  To carry out this mission, we negotiated or plan to negotiate several agreements with MD Anderson that
will: 

•
•
•
•
•

allow us to develop MD Anderson's neutral lipid delivery technology;
give us access, if needed, to MD Anderson's PDC for drug development;
provide us with rapid communication of new drug candidate disclosures in the Technology Transfer Office;
standardize clinical trial programs sponsored by us; and
standardize sponsored research under a master agreement addressing intellectual property sharing.

Our executive officers are experienced in working with MD Anderson and its personnel.  We believe that if we obtain adequate financing, we will be positioned
to translate current and future MD Anderson technology into treatments for cancer patients.  This, in turn, is expected to provide a steady flow of cancer drug candidates
to commercialize or to out-license to pharmaceutical partners. 

License Agreement 

We  currently  maintain  an  exclusive  license  agreement  with  MD  Anderson  (the  “License  Agreement”).  The  License  Agreement  relates  to  the  delivery 
technology platform for antisense nucleic acids including two single nucleic acid (antisense) drug products. The License Agreement requires, among other things, that
we  reimburse  MD  Anderson  for  ongoing  patent  expense.  Accrued  license  payments  totaling  approximately  $100,000  for  accrued  maintenance  fees  and  past  patent
expenses are included in Current Liabilities as of December 31, 2014.  Past patent expenses represent patent expenses incurred by MD Anderson prior to executing the
License  Agreement  with  Bio-Path  that  are  being  amortized  in  quarterly  payments.  As  of  December  31,  2014,  we  estimate  that  remaining  reimbursable  past  patent
expenses total approximately $75,000 for the license.  We will be required to pay these patent expenses at the rate of approximately $25,000 per quarter when invoiced
by MD Anderson. In addition, accrued related party expense of approximately $67,050 was included in current liabilities as of December 31, 2014, representing accrued
hospital expense for MD Anderson services treating patients in our clinical trial of BP1001. This expense is unrelated to the License Agreement. 

We intend to use our relationship with MD Anderson to develop drug compounds covered by the License Agreement through Phase IIa clinical trials, the point
at which we will have demonstrated proof-of-concept of the efficacy and safety for our product candidates in cancer patients.  At such time, we may seek a development
and marketing partner in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry.  In certain cases, we may choose to complete development and market the products ourselves.
Our basic guide to a decision of whether or not to obtain a license for a potential drug candidate is as follows: 

Likelihood of efficacy: Are the in vitro pre-clinical studies on mechanism of action and the in vivo animal models robust enough to provide a compelling case 
that the “molecule/compound/technology” has a high probability of working in humans? 

Does it fit with the Company’s expertise: Do we possess the technical and clinical assets to significantly reduce the scientific and clinical risk to a point where
a pharmaceutical company partner would likely want to license this candidate within 36-48 months from the date of our acquiring a license? 

Affordability and potential for partnering: Can the clinical trial endpoints be designed in a manner that is unambiguous, persuasive, and can be professionally
conducted in a manner consistent with that expected by the pharmaceutical industry at a cost of less than $5-7 million dollars without “cutting corners”? 

Intellectual  property  and  competitive  sustainability:    Is  the  intellectual  property  and  competitive  analysis  sufficient  to  meet  criteria  established  by  major
pharmaceutical companies assuming successful early clinical human results?

Out-Licenses and Other Sources of Revenue 

Subject to demonstrating proof of concept for our delivery technology and obtaining adequate capital, we intend to develop a steady series of drug candidates
through Phase II clinical trials and then to engage in a series of out-licensing transactions to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.  Such companies would then
conduct later-stage clinical development, regulatory approval, and eventual marketing of the drug.  We expect that such out-license transactions would include upfront
license fees, milestone/success payments, and royalties.  We intend to maximize the quality and frequency of these transactions, while minimizing the time and cost to
achieve  meaningful  candidates  for  out-licensing.  Our  near-term  strategy  for  these  licensing  transactions  is  to  develop  sufficient  revenue  to  cover  our  burn  rate  and
provide development capital for clinical testing of drug candidates through Phase II for out-licensing, and for some candidates, potentially through full development and
commercialization.  Longer  term  out-licensing  transactions  will  be  viewed  in  terms  of  creating  maximum  stockholder  value  to  add  to  the  economic  value  of  drug
candidates fully developed and marketed by us, as noted below. 

In addition to out-licensing revenue and value creation, we may fully develop one or more of our own drug candidates. For example, there are certain cancers
that  are  primarily  treated  only  in  a  comprehensive  cancer  center,  of  which  there  are  approximately  40  in  the  US  and  perhaps  200  throughout  the  world. As  a  result,
marketing  and  distribution  can  become  a  realistic  possibility  for  select  products.  These  candidates  may  be  eligible  for  orphan  drug  designation  by  the  FDA,  which
provides additional incentives in terms of market exclusivities and non-dilutive grant funding for clinical trials. 

Finally,  there  are  technologies  for  which  we  anticipate  acquiring  licenses  whose  application  goes  well  beyond  cancer  treatment.  The  ability  to  provide  the
delivery of antisense and small molecules and their efficient uptake into cells is a very important technological asset that is expected to be commercialized in other areas
of medicine. 

Business Strategy 

In  order  to  capitalize  on  the  growing  need  for  new  drug  candidates  by  the  pharmaceutical  industry,  and  recognizing  the  value  of  clinical  data,  we  have

developed our business strategy based on the following concepts: 

• Develop in-licensed compounds to proof-of-concept in patients through Phase IIa.

• Manage trials as if they were being conducted by a major pharmaceutical company: seamless transition; quality systems; documentation; disciplined
program  management  recognized  by  diligence  teams  of  major  pharmaceutical  companies;  trials  conducted,  monitored  and  data  collected  consistent
with applicable FDA regulations to maximize our credibility and value in order to minimize time to gain registration by partner.

•

Leverage outside testing firms for pre-clinical capabilities and MD Anderson for clinical development capabilities. Outside testing firms perform pre-
clinical studies as well as clinical pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics while MD Anderson’s world-renowned clinics will be used for clinical
trials, particularly for early clinical trials.  This should allow us to develop our drug candidates with experienced professional staff at a reduced cost
compared to using external contract research organizations to run clinical trials.   This should also allow us to operate in an essentially virtual fashion,
thereby avoiding the expense of setting up and operating laboratory facilities, and without losing control over timing or quality or IP contamination.

• Use our scientific advisors and the Board to supplement our management team to critically monitor existing programs and evaluate new technologies

and/or compounds discovered or developed at MD Anderson or elsewhere for in-licensing.

• Hire a small team of employees or consultants: business development, regulatory management, and project management.

• Outsource manufacturing and regulatory capabilities. We will not need to invest our resources in building functions that do not add substantial value or
differentiation. Instead, we will leverage an executive team with expertise in the selection and management of high quality contract manufacturing and
regulatory firms. Future manufacturing capabilities may be developed at a later date as a means to control the technology and ensure adequate supplies
of our future internally developed drug products and for out-licensed drug products.

12

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
Manufacturing 

We do not own or operate, and currently have no plans to establish, any manufacturing facilities. Accordingly, we have no ability to internally manufacture the
drug candidates that we need to conduct our clinical trials. For the foreseeable future, we expect to continue to rely on third-party manufacturers and other third parties to
produce, package and store sufficient quantities of our drug candidates and any future drug candidates for use in our clinical trials. We have entered into agreements with
our third-party manufacturer for the manufacture of our drug requirements, including agreements for the manufacture of L-Grb-2 for use in our Phase II clinical trial, a
development agreement for Bcl-2 and an agreement for the manufacture of Bcl-2 for use in our planned Phase I clinical trial. To date, we have made steady progress
with our current third-party manufacturers, overcoming challenges associated with scaling up manufacturing to develop their capabilities to supply us with our necessary
quantities of drug supplies for our clinical trials. However, we may face various risks and uncertainties in connection with our reliance on third-party manufacturers, as 
discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Risks Related to Manufacturing Our Drug Candidates.” If the FDA or 
other  regulatory  agencies  approve  any  of  our  drug  candidates  for  commercial  sale,  we  expect  that  we  would  continue  to  rely,  at  least  initially,  on  third-party 
manufacturers to produce commercial quantities of such approved drug candidates. However, we may in the future elect to manufacture certain of our drug candidates in
our own manufacturing facilities. If we do so, we will require substantial additional funds and need to recruit qualified personnel in order to build or lease and operate
any manufacturing facilities. 

Sales and Marketing 

We currently do not have any commercial products, and we do not currently have an organization for the sales and marketing of pharmaceutical products. In
order to successfully commercialize any drug candidates that may be approved in the future by the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities, we must build our
sales and marketing capabilities or make arrangements with third parties to perform these services. For certain drug candidates in selected indications where we believe
that  an  approved  product  could  be  commercialized  by  a  specialty  sales  force  that  calls  on  a  limited  but  focused  group  of  physicians,  we  may  commercialize  these
products  ourselves.  However,  in  therapeutic  indications  that  require  a  large  sales  force  selling  to  a  large  and  diverse  prescribing  population,  we  may  enter  into
arrangements with other companies for commercialization. If we are unable to establish adequate sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, whether independently or
with third parties, we may not be able to generate product revenue and may not become profitable. 

Intellectual Property 

Patents, trademarks, trade secrets, technology, know-how, and other proprietary rights are important to our business.  Our success depends in large part on our
ability to obtain and maintain patent protection both in the United States and in other countries for our drug candidates and on our ability to operate without infringing
the proprietary rights of third parties. Our ability to protect our drug candidates from unauthorized or infringing use by third parties depends in substantial part on our
ability to obtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents. 

We rely on trade secrets to protect our technology, especially where we do not believe patent protection is appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are
difficult to protect. In order to protect our proprietary technology and processes, we also rely in part on confidentiality and intellectual property assignment agreements
with our corporate partners, employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators and sponsored researchers and other advisors. These agreements may not effectively
prevent disclosure of confidential information nor result in the effective assignment to us of intellectual property, and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event
of  unauthorized  disclosure  of  confidential  information  or  other  breaches  of  the  agreements.  In  addition,  others  may  independently  discover  our  trade  secrets  and
proprietary information, and in such case we could not assert any trade secret rights against such party. 

As previously noted, we have entered into the License Agreement with MD Anderson, which relates to the delivery technology platform for antisense nucleic
acids, including two single nucleic acid (antisense) drug products. In addition, we may enter into out-license and in-license agreements in the future. Our success will 
depend in part on the ability of our licensors to obtain, maintain and enforce patent protection for their intellectual property, in particular, those patents to which we have
secured exclusive rights. 

Employees 

We  currently  employ  eight  full-time  employees.  We  also  have  contractual  relationships  with  additional  professionals  who  perform  certain  medical  officer,

regulatory and drug development duties. We believe relations with such professionals and employees are good. 

13

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
Scientific Advisors 

Our scientific advisors consist of the following scientists and drug development professionals: 

Ana M. Tari, Ph.D., M.S. Dr. Tari serves as our Director of Preclinical Operations and Research. Dr. Tari is the lead researcher who has developed our lead
cancer drug, BP1001.  Dr. Tari is also an Associate Professor at the University of Florida at Gainesville. Previously, Dr. Tari was an Associate Professor at MD
Anderson. 

Bradley  G.  Somer,  M.D.  Dr.  Somer  is  employed  by  ACORN  CRO,  a  full  service,  oncology-focused  clinical  research  organization  (“CRO”).  Under  our 
agreement with ACORN CRO, Dr. Somer serves as our Medical Advisor and medical liaison for the conduct of our Phase I clinical study of liposomal BP1001
in refractory or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. 

We anticipate that we may engage additional scientists and clinicians at a time and as appropriate as determined by the Board. 

Competition 

We  are  engaged  in  segments  of  the  pharmaceutical  and  biotechnology  industry  that  are  highly  competitive  and  characterized  by  rapid  and  significant
technological change. Many large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic and research institutions, governmental agencies and other public and private
research organizations are pursuing the development of novel drugs that target AML, CML, ALL, MDS, breast cancer and other cancer generally. We face, and expect
to continue to face, intense and increasing competition as new products enter the market and advanced technologies become available. Our competitors may discover,
develop or commercialize products or other novel technologies that are more effective, safer or less costly than our drug candidates.  Our competitors may also obtain
FDA or other regulatory approval for their products more rapidly than we may obtain approval for our drug candidates. 

Many of our competitors have: 

•

significantly  greater  capital,  technical  and  human  resources  than  we  have  and  may  be  better  equipped  to  discover,  develop,  manufacture  and
commercialize drug candidates;

• more  experience  in  drug  discovery,  development  and  commercialization,  obtaining  regulatory  approvals  and  manufacturing  and  marketing

pharmaceutical products;

•

•

drug candidates that have been approved or are in late-stage clinical development; and/or

collaboration arrangements in our target markets with leading companies and research institutions.

Mergers and acquisitions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry may result in even more resources being concentrated among a smaller number of
our  competitors.  Smaller  or  early  stage  companies  may  also  prove  to  be  significant  competitors,  particularly  through  collaborative  arrangements  with  large  and
established companies. These competitors also compete with us in recruiting and retaining qualified scientific and management personnel, establishing clinical trial sites
and patent registration for clinical trials, and acquiring technologies complementary to, or necessary for, our drug candidates and programs. 

Competitive  products  and  technological  developments  may  render  our  drug  candidates  noncompetitive  or  obsolete  before  we  can  recover  the  expenses  of
developing and commercializing our drug candidates. Furthermore, the development of new treatment methods and/or the widespread adoption or increased utilization
of  any  vaccine  for  the  diseases  we  are  targeting  could  render  our  drug  candidates  noncompetitive,  obsolete  or  uneconomical.  If  we  successfully  develop  and  obtain
approval for any of our drug candidates, we will face competition based on the safety and effectiveness of our drug candidates, the timing of their entry into the market
in relation to competitive products in development, the availability and cost of supply, marketing and sales capabilities, reimbursement coverage, price, patent position
and  other  factors.  If  we  successfully  develop  drug  candidates  but  those  drug  candidates  do  not  achieve  and  maintain  market  acceptance,  our  business  will  not  be
successful.

Government Regulation 

Overview 

Government  authorities  in  the  United  States,  at  the  federal,  state  and  local  level,  and  other  countries  extensively  regulate,  among  other  things,  the  research,
development, testing, manufacture, labeling, record keeping, packaging, promotion, storage, advertising, distribution, marketing and export and import of products such
as those we are developing. The nature and extent to which such regulations will apply to us will vary depending on the nature of any drug candidates we develop. We
anticipate that all of our drug candidates will require regulatory approval by governmental agencies prior to commercialization. This process and subsequent compliance
with appropriate federal, state, local, and foreign statutes and regulations will require the expenditure of substantial time and financial resources. 

United States Drug Development Process 

In the United States, drugs are subject to rigorous regulation by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the “FDCA”), and implementing 
regulations, as well as other federal and state statutes. Failure by us or our collaborators to comply with the applicable United States requirements at any time during the
drug candidate development process, approval process or after approval, may subject us to administrative or judicial sanctions. These sanctions could include the FDA’s 
refusal to approve pending applications, license suspension or revocation, withdrawal of an approval, a clinical hold, warning letters, product recalls, product seizures,
total or partial suspension of production or distribution, injunctions, fines, civil penalties or criminal prosecution. Any agency or judicial enforcement action could have
a material adverse effect on us. 

The process required by the FDA before a new drug may be marketed in the United States generally involves the following: 

•

•

•

•

•

•

completion of preclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies according to FDA’s Good Laboratory Practice regulations;

submission of an IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin and which must include approval by an institutional 
review board at each clinical site before the trials are initiated;

performance of adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials according to FDA’s Good Clinical Practice (“GCP”) regulations to establish the 
safety and efficacy of the proposed drug for its intended use;

submission to, and acceptance by, the FDA of an new drug application (an “NDA”);

satisfactory completion of an FDA inspection of the manufacturing facility or facilities at which the drug is produced to assess compliance with current 
Good Manufacturing Practice (“cGMP”) regulations to assure that the facilities, methods and controls are adequate to preserve the drug’s identity, 
strength, quality and purity; and

FDA review and approval of the NDA.

Pre-Approval Studies 

Once  a  drug  candidate  is  identified  for  development,  it  enters  the  preclinical  testing  stage.  Preclinical  tests  include  laboratory  evaluations  of  drug  candidate
chemistry, toxicity and formulation, as well as animal studies. Prior to beginning human clinical trials, an IND sponsor must submit an IND to the FDA, which includes
submitting the results of the preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data. Some preclinical or nonclinical testing may continue even
after the IND is submitted. The IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30-day time period, raises concerns 
or questions about the conduct of the trial. In such a case, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolve any outstanding concerns before the clinical trial can begin. Even
after  the  30-day  time  period,  the  FDA  may  impose  a  clinical  hold on  ongoing  clinical  trials.  If  the  FDA  imposes  a  clinical  hold,  clinical  trials  cannot  commence  or
recommence without FDA authorization and then only under terms authorized by the FDA. The IND application process may be extremely costly and substantially delay
the development of our drug candidates for certain indications. Moreover, positive results of preclinical tests will not necessarily indicate positive results in subsequent
clinical trials in humans. The FDA may require additional animal testing after an initial IND application is approved and prior to Phase III trials. 

Clinical trials involve the administration of the IND to volunteers or patients under the supervision of one or more qualified investigators in accordance with
FDA’s GCP regulations. Clinical trials must be conducted under protocols detailing the objectives of the trial and the safety and effectiveness criteria to be evaluated.
Each protocol must be submitted to the FDA as part of the IND. Further, an institutional review board at each institution participating in the clinical trial must review
and approve each protocol before any clinical trial commences at that institution. All research subjects must provide informed consent, and informed consent information
must be submitted to the institutional review board for approval prior to initiation of the trial. Progress reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted
at least annually to the FDA and more frequently if adverse events or other certain types of other changes occur.

Human clinical trials are typically conducted in three sequential phases that may overlap or be combined: 

•

•

•

Phase I: The drug candidate is initially introduced into human subjects or patients with the disease and tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption,
metabolism, distribution and excretion. In the case of some drug candidates for severe or life-threatening diseases, the initial human testing is often 
conducted in patients.

Phase II: Involves studies in a limited patient population to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks, to preliminarily evaluate the efficacy of
the drug candidate for specific targeted diseases and to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage.

Phase  III:  Clinical  trials  are  undertaken  to  further  evaluate  dosage,  clinical  efficacy  and  safety  in  an  expanded  patient  population,  typically  at
geographically dispersed clinical study sites. These studies are intended to establish the overall risk-benefit ratio of the drug candidate and provide, if 
appropriate, an adequate basis for product labeling.

Phase I, Phase II and Phase III testing may not be completed successfully within any specified period, if at all. The FDA or an institutional review board or the
sponsor may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health
risk. 

Concurrent  with  clinical  trials,  companies  usually  complete  additional  animal  studies  and  must  also  develop  additional  information  about  the  chemistry  and
physical characteristics of the drug candidate and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance with cGMP requirements. The manufacturing process
must be capable of consistently producing quality batches of the drug candidate and, among other requirements, the manufacturer must develop methods for testing the
identity,  strength,  quality  and  purity  of  the  final  drug.  Additionally,  appropriate  packaging  must  be  selected  and  tested  and  stability  studies  must  be  conducted  to
demonstrate that the drug candidate does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. 

Our  business  model  relies  on  developing  drug  candidates  through  Phase  IIa  and  either  entering  into  out-license  agreements  with  pharmaceutical  licensee 
partners who will be  responsible for post-Phase II clinical testing and working with the FDA on necessary regulatory submissions resulting in approval of new drug
applications for commercialization, or internally developing a drug candidate through commercialization. 

Approval Process 

After successful completion of the required clinical trials, an NDA is generally submitted, which is required before marketing of the product may begin in the
United  States.  The  NDA  must  include  the  results  of  drug  development,  preclinical  studies  and  clinical  studies,  together  with  other  detailed  information,  including
information on the chemistry, manufacture and composition of the drug. The FDA has 60 days from its receipt of the NDA to review the application to ensure that it is
sufficiently  complete  for  substantive  review  before  accepting  it  for  filing  and  may  request  additional  information  rather  than  accept  an  NDA  for  filing.  If  additional
information is requested, the NDA must be resubmitted. The resubmitted application is also subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. Once the submission
is accepted for filing, the FDA begins an in-depth substantive review. The submission of an NDA is also subject to the payment of user fees, which may be waived under
certain limited circumstances. 

The FDA reviews an NDA that has been accepted for filing to determine, among other things, whether a product is safe and effective for its intended use. The
approval process for an NDA is lengthy  and the FDA may refuse to approve an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied  or may require additional
clinical or other data and information. Even if such data and information is submitted, the FDA may ultimately decide that the NDA does not satisfy the criteria for
approval. The FDA may also refer applications for drug candidates which present difficult questions of safety or efficacy to an advisory committee, typically a panel that
includes  clinicians  and  other  experts,  for  review,  evaluation  and  a  recommendation  as  to  whether  the  application  should  be  approved.  The  FDA  is  not  bound  by  the
recommendation of an advisory committee. Before approving an NDA, the FDA will also inspect the facility or facilities where the product is manufactured to determine
whether its manufacturing is cGMP-compliant to assure and preserve the product’s identity, strength, quality, purity and stability. 

16

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
There are various programs that are intended to expedite the development and review of drug candidates, and/or provide for approval on the basis of surrogate
endpoints, including Fast Track, breakthrough therapy, priority review and accelerated approval. Even if a drug candidate qualifies for one or more of these programs,
the  FDA  may  later  decide  that  the  drug  candidate  no  longer  meets  the  conditions  for  qualification  or  that  the  time  period  for  FDA  review  or  approval  will  not  be
shortened.  Generally,  drug  candidates  that may  be  eligible  for  these  programs  are  those  for  serious  or  life-threatening  conditions,  those  with  the  potential  to  address 
unmet medical needs or those that offer meaningful benefits over existing treatments. 

Fast Track is a process designed to facilitate the development, and expedite the review of drug candidates to treat serious diseases and fill an unmet medical
need.  Breakthrough  therapy  requires  preliminary  clinical  evidence  that  demonstrates  the  drug  candidate  may  have  substantial  improvement  on  at  least  one  clinically
significant endpoint over available therapy. A breakthrough therapy designation conveys all of the Fast Track program features, as well as more intensive FDA guidance
on an efficient drug development program. Priority review is designed to give drug candidates that offer major advances in treatment or provide a treatment where no
adequate therapy exists an initial review within six months as compared to a standard review time of 10 months. Although Fast Track, breakthrough therapy and priority
review do not affect the standards for approval, the FDA will attempt to facilitate early and frequent meetings with a sponsor of a Fast Track designated drug candidate
and expedite review of the application for a drug candidate designated for priority review. Accelerated approval provides an earlier approval of drugs to treat serious
diseases  and  that  fill  an  unmet  medical  need  based  on  a  surrogate  endpoint,  which  is  a  laboratory  measurement  or  physical  sign  used  as  an  indirect  or  substitute
measurement representing a clinically meaningful outcome. As a condition of approval, the FDA may require that a sponsor of a product receiving accelerated approval
perform post-marketing clinical trials. 

If the FDA evaluations of the application and the manufacturing facilities are favorable, the FDA may issue an approval letter or an “approvable” letter. An 
approvable letter will usually contain a number of conditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA and authorization of commercial marketing
of the drug for certain indications. An approval letter authorizes commercial marketing of the drug with specific prescribing information for a specific indication. As a
condition of NDA approval, the FDA may require post-approval testing, including Phase IV trials, and surveillance to monitor the drug’s safety or efficacy and may 
impose  other  conditions,  including  labeling  or  distribution  restrictions  which  can  materially  impact  the  potential  market  and  profitability  of  the  drug.  Once  granted,
product approvals may be withdrawn if compliance with regulatory standards is not maintained or problems occur after the product reaches the market. The FDA may
also refuse to approve the NDA or issue a “not approvable” letter outlining the deficiencies in the submission and often requiring additional testing or information. 

To date, we have not submitted a marketing application for any drug candidate to the FDA or any foreign regulatory agency, and none of our drug candidates
have been approved for commercialization in any country.  We have limited experience in conducting and managing the clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory
approvals, including approval by the FDA. The time required to complete clinical trials and for the FDA’s review processes is uncertain and typically takes many years. 
Our analysis of data obtained from preclinical and clinical activities is subject to confirmation and interpretation by regulatory authorities, which could delay, limit or
prevent  regulatory  approval.  We  may  also  encounter  unanticipated  delays  or  increased  costs  due  to  government  regulation  from  future  legislation  or  administrative
action or changes in FDA policy during the period of product development, clinical trials, and FDA regulatory review. 

Timing to Approval 

We estimate that it generally takes 10 to 15 years or possibly longer to discover, develop and bring to market a new pharmaceutical product in the United States

as outlined below: 

Phase: 

Discovery

Preclinical

Phase I

Phase II

Phase III

  Objective:

  Lead identification and target validation.

Initial  toxicology  for  preliminary  identification  of  risks  for  humans;  gather
early pharmacokinetic data.

Estimated Duration:

2 to 4 years

1 to 2 years

  Test  for  safety,  dosage  tolerance,  absorption,  metabolism,  distribution  and

1 to 2 years

excretion. 

Identify  possible  adverse  effects  and  safety  risks;  preliminarily  evaluate  the
efficacy of the drug candidate for specific targeted diseases; determine dosage
tolerance and optimal dosage.

  Further  evaluate  dosage,  clinical  efficacy  and  safety  in  an  expanded  patient
population, typically at geographically dispersed clinical study sites; establish
the overall risk-benefit ratio of the drug candidate and provide, if appropriate,
an adequate basis for product labeling.

FDA approval

  Approval by the FDA to sell and market the drug for the approved indication.

6 months to 2 years

A drug candidate may fail at any point during this process. Animal and other non-clinical studies typically are conducted during each phase of human clinical

trials. 

Our  business  model  is  primarily  focused  on  the  pre-clinical  to  Phase  IIa  interval.  This  greatly  reduces  the  time  frame  for  us  from  in-license  of  a  new,  pre-

clinical stage drug candidate to be developed to out-licensing to a pharmaceutical partner.   

Post-Approval Studies 

Once  an  approval  is  granted,  the  FDA  may  withdraw  the  approval  if  compliance  with  regulatory  standards  is  not  maintained  or  if  problems  occur  after  the
product  reaches  the  market.  After  approval,  some  types  of  changes  to  the  approved  product,  such  as  adding  new  indications,  manufacturing  changes  and  additional
labeling claims, are subject to further FDA review and approval. In addition, the FDA may require testing and surveillance programs to monitor the effect of approved
products  that have  been  commercialized, and  the FDA has  the power to  prevent  or  limit further  marketing  of  a  product based  on  the results  of  these post-marketing 
programs. 

Any drug products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to continuing regulation by the FDA, including, among other 

things: 

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

record-keeping requirements;

reporting of adverse experiences with the drug;

providing the FDA with updated safety and efficacy information;

drug sampling and distribution requirements;

notifying the FDA and gaining its approval of specified manufacturing or labeling changes;

complying with certain electronic records and signature requirements; and

complying with FDA promotion and advertising requirements.

Drug  manufacturers and  their subcontractors are  required to  register  their  establishments with the  FDA and some  state agencies, and are subject to periodic

unannounced inspections by the FDA and some state agencies for compliance with cGMPs and other laws. 

We rely, and expect to continue to rely, on third parties for the production of clinical quantities of our drug candidates. Future FDA and state inspections may

identify compliance issues at the facilities of our contract manufacturers that may disrupt production or distribution, or require substantial resources to correct. 

From time to time, legislation is drafted, introduced and passed in Congress that could significantly change the statutory provisions governing the approval,
manufacturing and marketing of products regulated by the FDA. In addition, FDA regulations and guidance are often revised or reinterpreted by the agency in ways that
may significantly affect our business and our drug candidates. It is impossible to predict whether legislative changes will be enacted, or FDA regulations, guidance or
interpretations changed or what the impact of such changes, if any, may be. 

Foreign Regulations 

Whether or not we obtain FDA approval for a drug candidate, we must obtain the requisite approvals from regulatory authorities in non-U.S. countries prior to 
the  commencement  of  clinical  trials  or  marketing  of  our  products  in  those  countries.  Certain  countries  outside  of  the  United  States  have  a  process  that  requires  the
submission  of  a  clinical  trial  application  (“CTA”),  much  like  an  IND,  prior  to  the  commencement  of  human  clinical  trials.  In  Europe,  for  example,  a  CTA  must  be
submitted to the competent national health authority and to independent ethics committees in each country in which a company intends to conduct clinical trials. Once
the CTA is approved in accordance with a country’s requirements, clinical trial development may proceed in that country. 

18

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
The requirements and process governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary from country to country, but typically
takes  several  years  and  requires  significant  resources.  In  all  cases,  the  clinical  trials  must  be  conducted  in  accordance  with  GCPs  and  other  applicable  regulatory
requirements. 

To  obtain  regulatory  approval  of  an  investigational  drug  under  European  Union  (“E.U.”)  regulatory  systems,  we  must  submit  a  marketing  authorization 
application. This application is similar to the NDA in the United States, with the exception of, among other things, country-specific document requirements. Drugs can
be  authorized  in  the  E.U.  by  using  (i) the  centralized  authorization  procedure,  (ii) the  mutual  recognition  procedure,  (iii) the  decentralized  procedure  or  (iv) national
authorization procedures. 

The European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) implemented the centralized procedure for the approval of human drugs to facilitate marketing authorizations that
are valid throughout the E.U. This procedure results in a single marketing authorization granted by the European Commission that is valid across the E.U., as well as in
Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. The centralized procedure is compulsory for certain human drugs including those that are: (i) derived from biotechnology processes,
such as genetic engineering, or (ii) contain a new active substance indicated for the treatment of certain diseases. 

Reimbursement 

Sales  of  pharmaceutical  products  depend  in  significant  part  on  the  availability  of  third-party  reimbursement,  which  is  time  consuming  and  expensive. 

Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our future products, if any, on a competitive and profitable basis. 

The  passage  of  the  Medicare  Prescription  Drug  and  Modernization  Act  of  2003  (the  “MMA”)  imposed  requirements  for  the  distribution  and  pricing  of 
prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries, which may affect the marketing of our future products, if any. The MMA also introduced a reimbursement methodology,
part  of  which  went  into  effect  in  2004,  and  a  prescription  drug  plan,  which  went  into  effect  on  January  1,  2006.  While  the  MMA  applies  only  to  drug  benefits  for
Medicare beneficiaries, private payors often follow Medicare coverage policy and payment limitations in setting their own payment rates. Any reduction in payment that
results from the MMA may result in a similar reduction in payments from non-governmental payors. 

In addition, in some foreign countries, the proposed pricing for a drug must be approved before it may be lawfully marketed. The requirements governing drug
pricing vary widely from country to country. For example, the E.U. provides options for its member states to restrict the range of medicinal products for which their
national health insurance systems provide reimbursement and to control the prices of medicinal products for human use. A member state may approve a specific price for
the medicinal product or it may instead adopt a system of direct or indirect controls on the profitability of the company placing the medicinal product on the market. 

There have been and we expect that there will continue to be frequent federal and state proposals to impose governmental pricing controls or cost containment
measures for prescription drugs. While we cannot predict whether such legislative or regulatory proposals will be adopted, the adoption of such proposals could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and profitability. For example, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health
Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010, contains provisions that may reduce the profitability of drugs, including, for example, increased rebates for
drugs sold to Medicaid programs, extension of Medicaid rebates to Medicaid managed care plans, mandatory discounts for certain Medicare Part D beneficiaries and
annual fees based on pharmaceutical companies' share of sales to federal health care programs. Even if favorable coverage and reimbursement status is attained for one
or more of our drug candidates for which we receive regulatory approval, less favorable coverage policies and reimbursement rates may be implemented in the future. 

Other Regulations 

Pursuant to the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, known as the Hatch-Waxman Act, under certain conditions a sponsor may be 
granted marketing exclusivity for a period of five years following FDA approval. During this period, third parties would not be permitted to obtain FDA approval for a
similar or identical drug through an Abbreviated NDA, which is the application form typically used by manufacturers seeking approval of a generic drug. The Hatch-
Waxman Act also permits a patent extension term of up to five years as compensation for patent term lost during product development and the FDA regulatory review
process. However, patent extension cannot extend the remaining term of a patent beyond a total of 14 years. The patent term restoration period is generally one-half the 
time between the effective date of an IND and the submission date of an NDA, plus time of active FDA review between the submission date of an NDA and the approval
of that application. Only one patent applicable to an approved drug is eligible for the extension and it must be applied for prior to expiration of the patent and within 60
days of the approval of the NDA. 

19

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
Liposomal  Grb-2  previously  received  orphan  drug  designations  for  the  treatment  of  CML  in  the  United  States.  Orphan  designation  is  available  to  drugs
intended  to  treat,  diagnose  or  prevent  a  rare  disease  or  condition  that  affects  fewer  than  200,000  people  in  the  United  States  at  the  time  of  application  for  orphan
designation. Orphan drug designation must be requested before submitting an application for marketing authorization. Orphan designation qualifies the sponsor of the
product for a tax credit and marketing incentives. The first sponsor to receive FDA marketing approval for a drug with an orphan designation is entitled to a seven-year 
exclusive marketing period in the United States for that product for that indication and, typically, a waiver of the prescription drug user fee for its marketing application.
However, a drug that the FDA considers to be clinically superior to, or different from, the approved orphan drug, even though for the same indication, may also obtain
approval in the United States during the seven-year exclusive marketing period. Orphan drug exclusive marketing rights may also be lost if the FDA later determines that
the request for designation was materially defective or if the manufacturer is unable to assure sufficient quantity of the drug. There is no guarantee that any of our other
drug candidates will receive orphan drug designation or that, even if such drug candidate is granted such status, the drug candidate’s clinical development and regulatory 
approval process will not be delayed or will be successful.   

Pharmaceutical companies are also subject to various federal and state laws pertaining to health care “fraud and abuse,” including anti-kickback laws and false 
claims laws. Anti-kickback laws make it illegal for any entity or person to solicit, offer, receive, or pay any remuneration in exchange for, or to induce, the referral of
business,  including  the  purchase  or  prescription  of  a  particular  drug.  False  claims  laws  prohibit  anyone  from  knowingly  and  willingly  presenting,  or  causing  to  be
presented, for payment to third party payors, including Medicare and Medicaid, claims for reimbursed drugs or services that are false or fraudulent, claims for items or
services not provided as claimed, or claims for medically unnecessary items or services. 

Company History and Available Information 

We were originally incorporated in May 2000 as a Utah corporation under the name Ogden Golf Co. Corporation, but terminated our retail golf store operations
in December 2006. In February of 2008, we completed a reverse merger with Bio-Path, Inc., a Utah corporation. The name of Ogden Golf Co. Corporation was changed
to Bio-Path Holdings, Inc. and the directors and officers of Bio-Path, Inc. became the directors and officers of Bio-Path Holdings, Inc. On March 10, 2014, our common

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS 

Risks Relating to Our Business 

We are a clinical stage biotechnology company with no revenue. We have incurred significant operating losses since our inception, and we expect to incur losses for
the foreseeable future and may never achieve profitability.  

We have incurred significant operating losses since our inception. As of December 31, 2014, we had accumulated net losses of approximately $19.9 million. To
date, we have not generated any revenue from the sale of our drug candidates and we do not expect to generate any revenue for the foreseeable future. We expect to
continue  to  incur  significant  operating  losses  and  we  anticipate  that  our  losses  may  increase  substantially  as  we  expand  our  drug  development  programs  and
commercialization efforts. 

To achieve profitability, we must successfully develop and obtain regulatory approval for one or more of our drug candidates and effectively commercialize any
drug  candidates  we  develop.  Even  if  we  succeed  in  developing  and  commercializing  one  or  more  of  our  drug  candidates,  we  may  not  be  able  to  generate  sufficient
revenue and we may never be able to achieve or sustain profitability. 

We will continue to require substantial additional capital for the foreseeable future. If we are unable to raise additional capital when needed, we may be forced to
delay, reduce or eliminate our drug development programs and commercialization efforts.  

We expect to continue to incur significant operating expenses in connection with our ongoing activities, including conducting clinical trials, manufacturing and
seeking regulatory approval of our drug candidates, Liposomal Grb-2 and Bcl-2. In addition, if we obtain regulatory approval of one or more of our drug candidates, we
expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. 

We believe that we have sufficient capital to fund our projected operating requirements through at least the first quarter of 2016.  However, our future capital

requirements may change and will depend on numerous factors, including: 

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

the rate of progress, results and costs of completion of ongoing clinical trials of our drug candidates;

the rate of progress, results and costs of completion of the ongoing preclinical trials of Liposomal Grb-2 for indications TNBC and IBC;

the size, scope, rate of progress, results and costs of completion of any potential future clinical trials and preclinical trials of our drug candidates that 
we may initiate;

the costs to obtain adequate supply of the compounds necessary for our drug candidates;

the costs of obtaining regulatory approval of our drug candidates;

the scope, prioritization and number of drug development programs we pursue;

the costs for preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related 
claims;

the extent to which we acquire or in-license other products and technologies and the costs to develop those products and technologies;

the costs of future commercializing activities, including product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution, of any of our drug candidates or 
other products for which marketing approval has been obtained;

our ability to establish strategic collaborations and licensing or other arrangements on terms favorable to us; and

competing technological and market developments.

21

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital when needed or on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. If adequate funds are not

available on a timely basis, we may be forced to: 

•

•

•

delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our drug development programs;

relinquish,  license  or  otherwise  dispose  of  rights  to  technologies,  drug  candidates  or  products  that  we  would  otherwise  seek  to  develop  or
commercialize ourselves at an earlier stage or on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available; or

liquidate and dissolve our company.

If our operating plans change, we may require additional capital sooner than planned. Such additional financing may not be available when needed or on terms
favorable to us. In addition, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe we have sufficient funds
for our current and future operating plan. 

The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry is highly competitive. If we are unable to compete effectively, our drug candidates may be rendered noncompetitive
or obsolete.    

We  are  engaged  in  segments  of  the  pharmaceutical  and  biotechnology  industry  that  are  highly  competitive  and  characterized  by  rapid  and  significant
technological change. Many large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic and research institutions, governmental agencies and other public and private
research organizations are pursuing the development of novel drugs that target AML, CML, ALL, MDS, breast cancer and other cancer generally. We face, and expect
to continue to face, intense and increasing competition as new products enter the market and advanced technologies become available. Our competitors may discover,
develop or commercialize products or other novel technologies that are more effective, safer or less costly than our drug candidates.  Our competitors may also obtain
FDA or other regulatory approval for their products more rapidly than we may obtain approval for our drug candidates. 

Many of our competitors have: 

•

significantly  greater  capital,  technical  and  human  resources  than  we  have  and  may  be  better  equipped  to  discover,  develop,  manufacture  and
commercialize drug candidates;

• more  experience  in  drug  discovery,  development  and  commercialization,  obtaining  regulatory  approvals  and  manufacturing  and  marketing

pharmaceutical products;

•

•

drug candidates that have been approved or are in late-stage clinical development; and/or

collaboration arrangements in our target markets with leading companies and research institutions.

Mergers and acquisitions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry may result in even more resources being concentrated among a smaller number of
our  competitors.  Smaller  or  early  stage  companies  may  also  prove  to  be  significant  competitors,  particularly  through  collaborative  arrangements  with  large  and
established companies. These competitors also compete with us in recruiting and retaining qualified scientific and management personnel, establishing clinical trial sites
and patent registration for clinical trials, and acquiring technologies complementary to, or necessary for, our drug candidates and programs. 

Competitive  products  and  technological  developments  may  render  our  drug  candidates  noncompetitive  or  obsolete  before  we  can  recover  the  expenses  of
developing and commercializing our drug candidates. Furthermore, the development of new treatment methods and/or the widespread adoption or increased utilization
of  any  vaccine  for  the  diseases  we  are  targeting  could  render  our  drug  candidates  noncompetitive,  obsolete  or  uneconomical.  If  we  successfully  develop  and  obtain
approval for any of our drug candidates, we will face competition based on the safety and effectiveness of our drug candidates, the timing of their entry into the market
in relation to competitive products in development, the availability and cost of supply, marketing and sales capabilities, reimbursement coverage, price, patent position
and  other  factors.  If  we  successfully  develop  drug  candidates  but  those  drug  candidates  do  not  achieve  and  maintain  market  acceptance,  our  business  will  not  be
successful.

Our plan to use collaboration arrangements to leverage our capabilities may not be successful.   

As  part  of  our  business  strategy,  we  may  enter  into  collaborative  arrangements  for  the  development  and  commercialization  of  our  drug  candidates.  For  our
collaboration efforts to be successful, we must identify partners whose competencies complement ours. We must also successfully enter into collaboration agreements
with them on terms attractive to us and integrate and coordinate their resources and capabilities with our own. We may be unsuccessful in entering into collaboration
agreements with acceptable partners or negotiating favorable terms in these agreements. In addition, we may face a disadvantage in seeking to enter into or negotiating
collaborations with potential partners because other potential collaborators may have greater management and financial resources than we do. 

If  we  do  enter  into  collaborative  arrangements,  the  success  of  these  collaboration  arrangements  will  depend  heavily  on  the  efforts  and  activities  of  our

collaborators. Furthermore, we may face risks and uncertainties in connection with collaborative arrangements, including: 

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

inability to integrate the resources or capabilities of collaborators;

collaborators may prove difficult to work with or less skilled than we originally expected;

disputes arising with respect to the ownership of rights to technology developed with collaborators;

disagreements  with  collaborators  could  delay  or  terminate  the  research,  development  or  commercialization  of  products  or  result  in  litigation  or
arbitration;

difficulty enforcing our arrangements if one of our collaborators fails to perform;

termination of our collaboration arrangements by collaborators, which could make it difficult for us to attract new collaborators or adversely affect the
perception of us in the business or financial communities;

collaborators  may  have  considerable  discretion  in  electing  whether  to  pursue  the  development  of  any  additional  drug  candidates  and  may  pursue
technologies or products either on their own or in collaboration with our competitors that are similar to or competitive with our technologies; and

collaborators may change the focus of their development and commercialization efforts.

If we are unsuccessful in our collaborative efforts, our ability to develop and market drug candidates could be severely limited. 

If we are unable to attract and retain key management, scientific personnel and advisors, we may not successfully develop our drug candidates or achieve our other
business objectives.  

Our success depends on the availability and contributions of members of our senior management team, scientific team and other key personnel. The loss of
services of any of these individuals could delay, reduce or prevent our drug development and other business objectives. Furthermore, recruiting and retaining qualified
scientific  personnel  to  perform  drug  development  work  will  be  critical  to  our  success.  We  face  intense  competition  for  qualified  individuals  from  numerous
pharmaceutical  and  biotechnology  companies,  universities,  governmental  entities  and  other  research  institutions.  We  may  be  unable  to  attract  and  retain  these
individuals, and our failure to do so could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition. 

Our  employees,  agents,  consultants,  and  commercial  partners  may  engage  in  misconduct  or  other  improper  activities,  including  non-compliance  with  applicable 
regulatory standards and requirements. 

We are exposed to the risk of fraud or other misconduct by our employees, principal investigators, consultants, advisors and commercial partners. Misconduct
by these persons could include intentional failures to comply with the regulations of the FDA and non-U.S. regulators, comply with healthcare fraud and abuse laws and 
regulations in the United States and abroad, report financial information or data accurately or disclose unauthorized activities to us. In particular, sales, marketing and
business  arrangements  in  the  healthcare  industry  are  subject  to  extensive  laws  and  regulations  intended  to  prevent  fraud,  kickbacks,  self-dealing  and  other  abusive 
practices.  These  laws  and  regulations  may  restrict  or  prohibit  a  wide  range  of  pricing,  discounting,  marketing  and  promotion,  sales  commission,  customer  incentive
programs and other business arrangements. Such misconduct could involve the improper use of information obtained in the course of clinical studies, which could result
in regulatory sanctions and cause serious harm to our business, financial condition and reputation. We currently have codes of business conduct and ethics applicable to
all of our employees, but it is not always possible to identify and deter employee misconduct, and our codes of business conduct and ethics and the other precautions we
take  to  detect  and  prevent  improper  activities  may  not  be  effective  in  controlling  unknown  or  unmanaged  risks  or  losses,  or  in  protecting  us  from  governmental
investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to comply with these laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against us, and we are not
successful  in  defending  ourselves  or  asserting  our  rights,  those  actions  could  result  in  the  imposition  of  significant  fines  or  other  sanctions,  which  could  materially
adversely affect our business and financial condition. Whether or not we are successful in defending against such actions or investigations, we could incur substantial
costs, including legal fees, and divert the attention of management in defending ourselves against any of these claims or investigations. 

23

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
If we acquire or license technologies, resources or drug candidates, we will incur a variety of costs and may never realize benefits from the transaction.  

If  appropriate  opportunities  become  available,  we  may  license  or  acquire  technologies,  resources,  drugs  or  drug  candidates.  We  may  never  realize  the
anticipated benefits of such a transaction. In particular, due to the risks inherent in drug development, we may not successfully develop or obtain marketing approval for
the drug candidates we acquire. Future licenses or acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of debt, the creation of
contingent liabilities, material impairment expenses related to goodwill, and impairment or amortization expenses related to other intangible assets, which could harm
our business and financial condition. 

Our business has a substantial risk of product liability claims. If we are unable to obtain or maintain appropriate levels of insurance, a product liability claim could 
adversely affect our business. 

Our business exposes us to significant potential product liability risks that are inherent in the development, manufacturing and sales and marketing of human
therapeutic products. Although we do not currently commercialize any products, claims could be made against us based on the use of our drug candidates in clinical
trials. Product liability claims could delay or prevent completion of our clinical development programs. We currently have product liability insurance, but we may not be 
able to maintain such insurance on acceptable terms. However, even if we maintain or obtain other product liability insurance, our insurance may not provide adequate
coverage against potential liabilities. As a result, we may be unable to obtain or maintain insurance coverage at a reasonable cost to protect against losses that could
harm our business and financial condition. If any claims are brought against us, and we are not successful in defending ourselves, those claims could result in damage
awards against us, which could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition. Whether or not we are successful in defending against such claims, we
could incur substantial costs, including legal fees, and divert the attention of management in defending ourselves against any of these claims. 

We  are  increasingly  dependent  on  information  technology  systems  to  operate  our  business  and  a  cyber-attack  or  other  breach  of  our  systems,  or  those  of  third 
parties on whom we may rely, could subject us to liability or interrupt the operation of our business. 

We are increasingly dependent on information technology systems to operate our business. A breakdown, invasion, corruption, destruction or interruption of
critical information technology systems by employees, others with authorized access to our systems or unauthorized persons could negatively impact operations.  In the
ordinary course of business, we collect, store and transmit confidential information and it is critical that we do so in a secure manner to maintain the confidentiality and
integrity of such information.  Additionally, we outsource certain elements of our information technology systems to third parties.  As a result of this outsourcing, our
third party vendors may or could have access to our confidential information making such systems vulnerable.  Data breaches of our information technology systems, or
those of our third party vendors, may pose a risk that sensitive data may be exposed to unauthorized persons or to the public.  For example, the loss of clinical trial data
from completed or ongoing clinical trials or preclinical studies could result in delays in our regulatory approval efforts and significantly increase our costs to recover or
reproduce the data. While we believe that we have taken appropriate security measures to protect our data and information technology systems, and have been informed
by our third party vendors that they have as well, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent breakdowns or breaches in our systems, or those of our third
party vendors, that could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition. 

Risks Relating to the Development of Our Drug Candidates 

We must complete extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our drug candidates.  If we are unable to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of
our drug candidates, we will not be successful.   

To date, none of our drug candidates have been approved for sale in the United States or any foreign country. The success of our business depends primarily on
our ability to develop and commercialize our drug candidates successfully. Our drug candidates must satisfy rigorous standards of safety and efficacy before they can be
approved for sale. To satisfy these standards, we must engage in expensive and lengthy testing of our drug candidates. 

24

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
On February 9,  2015, we  announced  that we began  enrollment  into  the safety  segment of our Phase  II  clinical trial of BP1001 in patients with AML.   The
safety segment of our combination therapy Phase II clinical trial in AML consists of two dosing cohorts (60 mg/m2 and 90 mg/m2) to test the safety profile of treating 
AML patients first with BP1001 and Ara-C. Patients ineligible for intensive induction therapy are currently treated only with low dose Ara-C. The trial will determine if 
adding BP1001 will yield better response rates in this AML patient population. Following the safety portion, the trial will then be opened in multiple centers to test 40-
60 patients with the combination. An interim analysis will be performed after approximately 20 patients have been treated with the combination therapy. In addition, (i)
we are currently conducting preclinical studies on BP1001 for TNBC and IBC and (ii) we plan to initiate two other Phase II clinical trials for BP1001 in CML and MDS,
among other things. We may not be able to obtain authority from the FDA or other equivalent foreign regulatory agencies to move on to further efficacy segments of the
Phase II or Phase III clinical trials or commence and complete any other clinical trials for any of our drug candidates. Positive results in preclinical studies of a drug
candidate may not be predictive of similar results in human clinical trials, and promising results from early clinical trials of a drug candidate may not be replicated in
later clinical trials. A number of companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in late-stage clinical trials even after 
achieving promising results in early-stage development. Accordingly, the results from the preclinical trials or clinical trials for our drug candidates may not be predictive
of  the  results  we  may  obtain  in  later  stage  trials.  The  failure  of  clinical  trials  to  demonstrate  safety  and  efficacy  of  one  or  more  of  our  drug  candidates  will  have  a
material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. 

Delays in the commencement of clinical trials of our drug candidates could result in increased costs to us and delay our ability to generate revenues. 

Our drug candidates will require continued extensive clinical trials prior to the submission of a regulatory application for commercial sales. Because of the 

nature of clinical trials, we do not know whether future planned clinical trials will begin on time, if at all. Delays in the commencement of clinical trials could 
significantly increase our drug development costs and delay any commercialization of our drug candidates. In addition, many of the factors that may cause, or lead to, a 
delay in the commencement of clinical trials may also ultimately lead to denial of regulatory approval of a drug candidate. 

The commencement of clinical trials can be delayed for a variety of reasons, including delays in: 

•

•

•

•

demonstrating sufficient safety and efficacy in past clinical trials to obtain regulatory approval to commence a further clinical trial;

convincing the FDA that we have selected valid endpoints for use in proposed clinical trials;

reaching agreements on acceptable terms with prospective contract manufacturers for manufacturing sufficient quantities of our drug candidate; and

obtaining institutional review board approval to conduct a clinical trial at a prospective site.

In addition, the commencement of clinical trials may be delayed due to insufficient patient enrollment, which is a function of many factors, including the size of 

the patient population, the nature of the protocol, the proximity of patients to clinical sites, the availability of effective treatments for the relevant disease and the 
eligibility criteria for the clinical trial. 

Delays in the completion of, or the termination of, clinical trials of our drug candidates could result in increased costs to us, and could delay or prevent us from 
generating revenues. 

Once a clinical trial has begun, it may be delayed, suspended or terminated by us or the FDA or other regulatory authorities due to a number of factors, 

including: 

•

•

regulators or institutional review boards may not authorize us to commence or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;

our  preclinical  tests  or  clinical  trials  may  produce  negative  or  inconclusive  results,  and  we  may  decide,  or  regulators  may  require  us,  to  conduct
additional preclinical testing or clinical trials or we may abandon projects that we expect may not be promising;

• we might have to suspend or terminate our clinical trials if the participating patients are being exposed to unacceptable health risks;

•

•

regulators or institutional review boards may require that we hold, suspend or terminate clinical research for various reasons, including noncompliance
with regulatory requirements;

the cost of our clinical trials may be greater than we currently anticipate and we may lack adequate funding to continue the clinical trial;

•

•

the timing of our clinical trials may be longer than we currently anticipate; 

our third-party contractors may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner (including
delays or inability to manufacture or obtain sufficient quantities of materials for use in clinical trials);

inadequacy of or changes in our manufacturing process or compound formulation;

slower than expected rates of patient recruitment and enrollment or lower than expected patient retention rates;

the  effects  of  our  drug  candidates  may  not  be  the  desired  effects  or  may  include  undesirable  side  effects  or  our  drug  candidates  may  have  other
unexpected characteristics;

changes in applicable regulatory policies and regulations;

delays in identifying and reaching agreement on acceptable terms with prospective clinical trial sites;

uncertainty regarding proper dosing;

failure of our clinical research organizations to comply with all regulatory and contractual requirements or otherwise fail to perform their services in a
timely or acceptable manner;

scheduling conflicts with participating clinicians and clinical institutions;

failure to construct appropriate clinical trial protocols;

insufficient data to support regulatory approval;

inability or unwillingness of medical investigators to follow our clinical protocols; and

the timing of discussions and meetings with the FDA or other regulatory authorities regarding the scope or design of our clinical trials.

Many  of  these  factors  that  may  lead  to  a  delay,  suspension  or  termination  of  clinical  trials  of  our  drug  candidates  may  also  ultimately  lead  to  denial  of
regulatory approval of our drug candidates. If we experience delays in the completion of, or termination of, clinical trials of any product candidates in the future, our
business, financial condition and the commercial prospects for our drug candidates could be materially adversely affected, and our ability to generate product revenues
will be delayed. 

If we are unable to obtain United States and/or foreign regulatory approval, we will be unable to commercialize our drug candidates.  

Our drug candidates are subject to extensive governmental regulations relating to, among other things, research, testing, development, manufacturing, safety,
efficacy, record keeping, labeling, marketing and distribution of drugs. Rigorous preclinical testing and clinical trials and an extensive regulatory approval process are
required  in  the  United  States  and  in  many  foreign  jurisdictions  prior  to  the  commercial  sale  of  our  drug  candidates.  Satisfaction  of  these  and  other  regulatory
requirements  is  costly,  time  consuming,  uncertain  and  subject  to  unanticipated  delays.  It  is  possible  that  none  of  the  drug  candidates  we  are  developing  will  obtain
marketing approval. In connection with the clinical trials for our drug candidates, we face risks that: 

•

•

•

•

•

•

the drug candidate may not prove to be efficacious;

the drug candidate may not prove to be safe;

the drug candidate may not be readily co-administered or combined with other drugs or drug candidates;

the results may not confirm the positive results from earlier preclinical studies or clinical trials;

the results may not meet the level of statistical significance required by the FDA or other regulatory agencies; and

the FDA or other regulatory agencies may require us to carry out additional studies.

We have limited experience in conducting and managing the clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approvals, including approval by the FDA. The time
required to complete clinical trials and for the FDA and other countries’ regulatory review processes is uncertain and typically takes many years. Our analysis of data
obtained  from  preclinical  and  clinical  trials  is  subject  to  confirmation  and  interpretation  by  regulatory  authorities,  which  could  delay,  limit  or  prevent  regulatory
approval. We may also encounter unanticipated delays or increased costs due to government regulation from future legislation or administrative action or changes in
FDA policy during the period of product development, clinical trials, and FDA regulatory review. 

26

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
Any regulatory approval to market a product may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which we may market the product and affect reimbursement
by  third-party  payors.  These  limitations  may  limit  the  size  of  the market  for  the  product.  We  may  also  become  subject  to  numerous  foreign  regulatory  requirements
governing  the  conduct  of  clinical  trials,  manufacturing  and  marketing  authorization,  pricing  and  third-party  reimbursement.  The  foreign  regulatory  approval  process 
includes all of the risks associated with FDA approval described above as well as risks attributable to the satisfaction of foreign regulations. Approval by the FDA does
not ensure approval by regulatory authorities outside the United States. Foreign jurisdictions may have different approval procedures than those required by the FDA and
may impose additional testing requirements for our drug candidates. 

In addition to regulations in the United States, we may be subject to a variety of regulations in other jurisdictions governing, among other things, clinical trials and
any commercial sales and distribution of our products, if approved.  

Whether or not we obtain FDA approval for a drug candidate, we must obtain the requisite approvals from regulatory authorities in non-U.S. countries prior to 
the  commencement  of  clinical  trials  or  marketing  of  our  products  in  those  countries.  Certain  countries  outside  of  the  United  States  have  a  process  that  requires  the
submission of a clinical trial application, much like an IND, prior to the commencement of human clinical trials. In Europe, for example, a CTA must be submitted to the
competent  national  health  authority  and  to  independent  ethics  committees  in  each  country  in  which  a  company  intends  to  conduct  clinical  trials.  Once  the  CTA  is
approved in accordance with a country’s requirements, clinical trial development may proceed in that country. 

The requirements and process governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary from country to country. In all cases,

the clinical trials must be conducted in accordance with GCP and other applicable regulatory requirements. 

To obtain regulatory approval of an investigational drug under E.U. regulatory systems, we must submit a marketing authorization application. This application
is similar to the NDA in the United States, with the exception of, among other things, country-specific document requirements. Drugs can be authorized in the E.U. by 
using (i) the centralized authorization procedure, (ii) the mutual recognition procedure, (iii) the decentralized procedure or (iv) national authorization procedures. 

The EMA implemented the centralized procedure for the approval of human drugs to facilitate marketing authorizations that are valid throughout the E.U. This
procedure results in a single marketing authorization granted by the European Commission that is valid across the E.U., as well as in Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
The  centralized  procedure  is  compulsory  for  certain  human  drugs  including  those  that  are:  (i) derived  from  biotechnology  processes,  such  as  genetic  engineering,  or
(ii) contain a new active substance indicated for the treatment of certain diseases. 

Changes in existing laws and regulations affecting the healthcare industry could increase our costs and otherwise adversely affect our business.     

Our research and development activities, preclinical studies and clinical trials, and the manufacturing, marketing and labeling of any products we may develop,
are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and other regulatory authorities in the United States and other countries. Changes in existing federal, state and foreign
laws and agency regulations may be established that could prevent or delay regulatory approval of our drug candidates or materially increase our costs, including: 

•

•

•

•

changes in the FDA and foreign regulatory processes for new therapeutics that may delay or prevent the approval of any of our drug candidates;

new laws, regulations, or judicial decisions related to healthcare availability or the payment for healthcare products and services, including prescription
drugs, that would make it more difficult for us to market and sell products once they are approved by the FDA or foreign regulatory agencies;

changes  in  FDA  and  foreign  regulations  that may  require  additional  safety monitoring  prior  to or after the  introduction  of  new products to  market,
which could materially increase our costs of doing business; and

changes in FDA and foreign current cGMPs that would make it more difficult for us to manufacture our drug candidates in accordance with cGMPs.

27

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
Delays in obtaining or preventing our obtaining regulatory approval of our drug candidates could materially adversely affect our ability to commercialize any of

our drug candidates and our ability to receive product revenues or to receive milestone payments or royalties from any product rights we might license to others. 

We rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our drug candidates, and their failure to timely and properly perform their obligations may result in costs and
delays that prevent us from obtaining regulatory approval or successfully commercializing our drug candidates. 

We rely on independent contractors, including CROs, in certain areas that are particularly relevant to our research and drug development plans, such as for data
management for the conduct  of clinical  trials.  The competition for these relationships is intense, and we may not be able to maintain  our  relationships with them on
acceptable  terms.  Independent  contractors  generally  may  terminate  their  engagements  at  any  time,  subject  to  notice.  As  a  result,  we  can  control  their  activities  only
within certain limits, and they will devote only a certain amount of their time conducting research on and trials of our drug candidates and assisting in developing them.
If they do not successfully carry out their duties under their agreements with us, fail to inform us if these trials fail to comply with clinical trial protocols or fail to meet
expected deadlines, our clinical trials may need to be extended, delayed or terminated. We may not be able to enter into replacement arrangements without undue delays
or  excessive  expenditures.  If  there  are  delays  in  testing  or  regulatory  approvals  as  a  result  of  the  failure  to  perform  by  our  independent  contractors  or  other  outside
parties, our drug candidate development costs will increase and we may not be able to attain regulatory approval for or successfully commercialize our drug candidates. 

In addition, we have no control over the financial health of our independent contractors. Several of our independent contractors are in possession of valuable
and sensitive information relating to the safety and efficacy of our drug candidates, and several others provide services to a significant percentage of the patients enrolled
in our clinical trials in which such independent contractors participate. Should one or more of these independent contractors become insolvent, or otherwise are not able
to  continue  to  provide  services  to  us,  the  clinical  trial  in  which  such  contractor  participates  could  become  significantly  delayed  and  we  may  be  materially  adversely
affected as a result of the delays and additional expenses associated with such event. 

We may not be able to obtain or maintain orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidates. 

Liposomal Grb-2 has received orphan drug designations for the treatment of CML in the United States. Orphan designation is available to drugs intended to
treat, diagnose or prevent a rare disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 people in the United States at the time of application for orphan designation. Orphan
drug designation must be requested before submitting an application for marketing authorization. Orphan designation qualifies the sponsor of the product for a tax credit
and marketing incentives. The first sponsor to receive FDA marketing approval for a drug with an orphan designation is entitled to a seven-year exclusive marketing 
period in the United States for that product for that indication and, typically, a waiver of the prescription drug user fee for its marketing application. However, a drug that
the FDA considers to be clinically superior to, or different from, the approved orphan drug, even though for the same indication, may also obtain approval in the United
States  during  the  seven-year  exclusive  marketing  period.  Orphan  drug  exclusive  marketing  rights  may  also  be  lost  if  the  FDA  later  determines  that  the  request  for
designation was materially defective or if the manufacturer is unable to assure sufficient quantity of the drug. There is no guarantee that any of our other drug candidates
will  receive  orphan  drug  designation  or  that,  even  if  such  drug  candidate  is  granted  such  status,  the  drug  candidate’s  clinical  development  and  regulatory  approval 
process will not be delayed or will be successful. 

Risks Related to Manufacturing Our Drug Candidates 

We  rely  on  third  parties  for  manufacturing  of  our  clinical  drug  supplies;  our  dependence  on  these  manufacturers  may  impair  the  development  of  our  drug
candidates.    

We have no ability to internally manufacture the drug candidates that we need to conduct our clinical trials. For the foreseeable future, we expect to continue to
rely on third-party manufacturers and other third parties to produce, package and store sufficient quantities of our drug candidates and any future drug candidates for use
in our clinical trials. We have entered into agreements with our third-party manufacturer for the manufacture of our drug requirements, including an agreement for the
manufacture of L-Grb-2 for use in our Phase II clinical trial, a development agreement for Bcl-2 and an agreement for the manufacture of Bcl-2 for use in our planned 
Phase  I  clinical  trial.  To  date,  we  have  made  steady  progress  with  our  current  third-party  manufacturers,  overcoming  challenges  associated  with  scaling  up 
manufacturing to develop their capabilities to supply us with our necessary quantities of drug supplies for our clinical trials. However, we may face various risks and
uncertainties in connection with our reliance on third-party manufacturers, including: 

•

reliance on third-party manufactures for regulatory compliance and quality assurance;

28

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
•

•

•

•

the possibility of breach of the manufacturing agreement by the third-party manufacturer because of factors beyond our control;

the possibility of termination or nonrenewal of our manufacturing agreement by the third-party manufacturer at a time that is costly or inconvenient for 
us;

the potential that third-party manufacturers will develop know-how owned by such third-party manufacturer in connection with the production of our 
drug candidates that is necessary for the manufacture of our drug candidates; and

reliance on third-party manufacturers to assist us in preventing inadvertent disclosure or theft of our proprietary knowledge.

Our drug candidates are complicated and expensive to manufacture. If our third-party manufacturers fail to deliver our drug candidates for clinical use on a
timely basis, with sufficient quality, and at commercially reasonable prices, we may be required to delay or suspend clinical trials or otherwise discontinue development
of  our  drug  candidates.  While  we  may  be  able  to  identify  replacement  third-party  manufacturers  or  develop  our  own  manufacturing  capabilities  for  these  drug
candidates, this process would likely cause a delay in the availability of our drug candidates and an increase in costs. In addition, third-party manufacturers may have a 
limited number of facilities in which our drug candidates can be manufactured, and any interruption of the operation of those facilities due to events such as equipment
malfunction  or  failure  or  damage  to  the  facility  by  natural  disasters  could  result  in  the  cancellation  of  shipments,  loss  of  product  in  the  manufacturing  process  or  a
shortfall in available drug candidates. 

We may in the future elect to manufacture certain of our drug candidates in our own manufacturing facilities. If we do so, we will require substantial additional

funds and need to recruit qualified personnel in order to build or lease and operate any manufacturing facilities. 

There are underlying risks associated with the manufacture of our drug candidates, which have never been manufactured in large scale. Furthermore, we anticipate
continued reliance on third-party manufacturers if we are successful in obtaining marketing approval from the FDA or other regulatory agencies for any of our
drug candidates. 

To date, our drug candidates have been manufactured in relatively small quantities for preclinical testing and clinical trials by third-party manufacturers, and 
have never been manufactured in large scale. Additionally, as in the development of any new compound, there are underlying risks associated with their manufacture.
These risks include, but are not limited to, cost, process scale-up, process reproducibility, construction of a suitable process plant, timely availability of raw materials, as
well as regulatory issues associated with the manufacture of an active pharmaceutical agent. Any of these risks may prevent us from successfully developing our drug
candidates.  Our  failure,  or  the  failure  of  our  third-party  manufacturers  to  achieve  and  maintain  these  high  manufacturing  standards,  including  the  incidence  of
manufacturing errors and reliable product packaging for diverse environmental conditions, could result in patient injury or death, product recalls or withdrawals, delays
or failures in product testing or delivery, cost overruns or other problems that could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition. 

If the FDA or other regulatory agencies approve any of our drug candidates for commercial sale, we expect that we would continue to rely, at least initially, on
third-party  manufacturers  to  produce  commercial  quantities  of  such  approved  drug  candidates.  These  manufacturers  may  not  be  able  to  successfully  increase  the
manufacturing capacity for any of our approved drug candidates in a timely or economic manner, or at all. Significant scale-up of manufacturing may require additional
validation  studies,  which  the  FDA  or  other  regulatory  authorities  must  review  and  approve.  If  our  third-party  manufacturers  are  unable  to  successfully  increase  the 
manufacturing capacity for a drug candidate, or we are unable to establish our own manufacturing capabilities, the commercial launch of any approved products may be
delayed or there may be a shortage in supply. 

Identification  of  previously  unknown  problems  with  respect  to  a  drug  candidate,  manufacturer  or  facility  may  result  in  restrictions  on  the  drug  candidate,
manufacturer or facility.  

The FDA stringently applies regulatory standards for the manufacturing of our drug candidates.  Identification of previously unknown problems with respect to
a drug candidate, manufacturer or facility may result in restrictions on the drug candidate, manufacturer or facility, including warning letters, suspensions of regulatory
approvals, operating restrictions, delays in obtaining new product approvals, withdrawal of the product from the market, product recalls, fines, injunctions and criminal
prosecution.  Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. 

29

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
We  may  experience  delays  in  the  development  of  our  drug  candidates  if  the  third-party  manufacturers  of  our  drug  candidates  cannot  meet  FDA  requirements
relating to current Good Manufacturing Practices. 

Our third-party manufacturers are required to produce our drug candidates under FDA cGMPs in order to meet acceptable standards for our preclinical testing
and clinical trials. If such standards change, the ability of third-party manufacturers to produce our drug candidates on the schedule we require for our preclinical tests
and  clinical  trials  may  be  affected.  In  addition,  third-party  manufacturers  may  not  perform  their  obligations  under  their  agreements  with  us  or  may  discontinue  their
business before the time required by us to gain approval for or commercialize our drug candidates. Any difficulties or delays in the manufacturing and supply of our drug
candidates could increase our costs or cause us to lose revenue or postpone or cancel clinical trials. 

The  FDA  also  requires  that  we  demonstrate  structural  and  functional  comparability  between  the  same  drug  candidate  produced  by  different  third-party 
manufacturers.  Because  we  may  use  multiple  sources  to  manufacture  our  drug  candidates,  we  may  need  to  conduct  comparability  studies  to  assess  whether
manufacturing changes have affected the safety, identity, purity or potency of any drug candidate compared to the drug candidate produced by another manufacturer. If
we  are  unable  to  demonstrate  comparability,  the  FDA  could  require  us  to  conduct  additional  clinical  trials,  which  would  be  expensive  and  significantly  delay
commercialization of our drug candidates. 

Risks Related to Commercialization 

If  we  are  unable  to  establish  sales  and  marketing  capabilities  or  enter  into  agreements  with  third  parties  to  market  and  sell  our  drug  candidates,  we  may  not
generate product revenue.  

We have no commercial products, and we do not currently have an organization for the sales and marketing of pharmaceutical products. In order to successfully
commercialize any drug candidates that may be approved in the future by the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities, we must build our sales and marketing
capabilities or make arrangements with third parties to perform these services. For certain drug candidates in selected indications where we believe that an approved
product could be commercialized by a specialty sales force that calls on a limited but focused group of physicians, we may commercialize these products ourselves.
However,  in  therapeutic  indications  that  require  a  large  sales  force  selling  to  a  large  and  diverse  prescribing  population,  we  may  enter  into  arrangements  with  other
companies for commercialization. If we are unable to establish adequate sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, whether independently or with third parties, we
may not be able to generate product revenue and may not become profitable. 

If our future drugs do not achieve market acceptance, we may be unable to generate significant revenue, if any.  

Even if our drug candidates obtain regulatory approval, they may not gain market acceptance among physicians, health care payors, patients and the medical 

community. Factors that we believe could materially affect market acceptance of our drug candidates include: 

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

the timing of market introduction of competitive drugs;

the demonstrated clinical safety and efficacy of our drug candidates compared to other drugs and other drug candidates;

the suitability of our drug candidates to be co-administered or combined with other drugs or drug candidates;

the durability of our drug candidates in their ability to prevent the emergence of drug-resistant viral mutants;

the convenience and ease of administration of our drug candidates;

the existence, prevalence and severity of adverse side effects;

other potential advantages of alternative treatment methods;

the effectiveness of marketing and distribution support;

the cost-effectiveness of our drug candidates; and

the availability of reimbursement from managed care plans, the government and other third-party payors.

If our approved drug candidates fail to achieve market acceptance, we would not be able to generate significant revenue. In addition, even if our approved drug 

candidates achieve market acceptance, we may not be able to maintain that market acceptance over time if: 

30

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
•

•

•

new products or technologies are introduced that are more favorably received than our products, are more cost effective or render our products 
obsolete;

unforeseen complications arise with respect to the use of our products; or

sufficient third-party insurance coverage or reimbursement does not remain available.

If third-party payors do not adequately reimburse patients for any of our drug candidates that are approved for marketing, they might not be purchased or used, and
our revenues and profits will not develop or increase.  

Our  revenues  and  profits  will  depend  significantly  upon  the  availability  of  adequate  reimbursement  for  the  use  of  any  approved  drug  candidates  from
governmental and other third-party payors, both in the United States and in foreign markets. Reimbursement by a third party may depend upon a number of factors,
including the third-party payor’s determination that use of an approved drug candidate is: 

•

•

•

•

•

a covered benefit under its health plan;

safe, effective and medically necessary;

appropriate for the specific patient;

cost effective; and

neither experimental nor investigational.

The regulations that govern marketing approvals, pricing and reimbursement for new therapeutic and diagnostic products vary widely from country to country.
Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug candidate before it can be marketed. In many countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or
product licensing approval is granted. In some foreign markets, prescription pharmaceutical pricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial
approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain regulatory approval for a drug candidate in a particular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay our
commercial launch of the approved drug and negatively impact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the approved drug in that country. Adverse pricing
limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investment in one or more drug candidates, even if our drug candidates obtain regulatory approval. 

Obtaining reimbursement approval for an approved drug from each third-party and government payor is a time-consuming and costly process that could require 
us to provide supporting scientific, clinical and cost-effectiveness data for the use of any approved drug candidates to each payor. We may not be able to provide data
sufficient to gain acceptance with respect to reimbursement. There also exists substantial uncertainty concerning third-party reimbursement for the use of any approved 
drug  incorporating  new  technology,  and  even  if  determined  eligible,  coverage  may  be  more  limited  than  the  purposes  for  which  the  drug  is  approved  by  the  FDA.
Moreover, eligibility for coverage does not imply that any approved drug will be reimbursed in all cases or at a rate that allows us to make a profit or even cover our
costs. Interim payments for new products, if applicable, may also be insufficient to cover our costs and may not be made permanent. Reimbursement rates may vary
according to the use of the approved drugs and the clinical setting in which it is used, may be based on payments allowed for lower-cost products or combinations of 
products  that  are  already  reimbursed,  may  be  incorporated  into  existing  payments  for  other  products  or  services,  and  may  reflect  budgetary  constraints  and/or
imperfections  in  Medicare  or  Medicaid  data  used  to  calculate  these  rates.  Net  prices  for  products  may  be  reduced  by  mandatory  discounts  or  rebates  required  by
government health care programs or by any future relaxation of laws that restrict imports of certain medical products from countries where they may be sold at lower
prices than in the United States. 

In the United States, at both the federal and state levels, the government regularly proposes legislation to reform health care and its cost, and such proposals
have received increasing political attention. In 2010, Congress passed legislation to reform the U.S. health care system by expanding health insurance coverage, reducing
health care costs and making other changes. While health care reform may increase the number of patients who have insurance coverage for the use of any approved
drug,  it  may  also  include  changes that  adversely  affect  reimbursement  for  approved  drugs.  In  addition,  there  has  been,  and  we  expect  that  there  will  continue  to  be,
federal and state proposals to constrain expenditures for medical products and services, which may affect payments for any of our drug candidates that obtain approval.
The  Centers  for  Medicare  and  Medicaid  Services  frequently  change  product  descriptors,  coverage  policies,  product  and  service  codes,  payment  methodologies  and
reimbursement  values.  Third-party  payors  often  follow  Medicare  coverage  policy  and  payment  limitations  in  setting  their  own  reimbursement  rates  and  may  have
sufficient market power to demand significant price reductions. As a result of actions by these third-party payors, the health care industry is experiencing a trend toward 
containing  or  reducing  costs  through  various  means,  including  lowering  reimbursement  rates,  limiting  therapeutic  class  coverage  and  negotiating  reduced  payment
schedules with service providers for drug products.

Our inability to promptly obtain coverage and profitable reimbursement rates from government-funded and private payors for any of our drug candidates that 

obtain approval could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. 

Risks Related to Intellectual Property 

If our patent position does not adequately protect our drug candidates, others could compete against us more directly, which would harm our business.  

We have an exclusive license with MD Anderson to several issued patents and other certain technology rights. Our success depends in large part on our ability
to  obtain  and  maintain  patent  protection  both  in  the  United  States  and  in  other  countries  for  our  drug  candidates.  Our  ability  to  protect  our  drug  candidates  from
unauthorized  or  infringing  use  by  third  parties  depends  in  substantial  part  on  our  ability  to  obtain  and  maintain  valid  and  enforceable  patents.  Due  to  evolving  legal
standards relating to the patentability, validity and enforceability of patents covering pharmaceutical inventions and the scope of claims made under these patents, our
ability  to  maintain,  obtain  and  enforce  patents  is  uncertain  and  involves  complex  legal  and  factual  questions.  Accordingly,  rights  under  any  issued  patents  may  not
provide  us  with  sufficient  protection  for  our  drug  candidates  or  provide  sufficient  protection  to  afford  us  a  commercial  advantage  against  competitive  products  or
processes. We cannot guarantee that any patents will issue from any pending or future patent applications owned by or licensed to us. 

Even if patents have issued or will issue, we cannot guarantee that the claims of these patents are or will be valid or enforceable or will provide us with any
significant protection against competitive products or otherwise be commercially valuable to us. Patent applications in the United States are maintained in confidence for
up to 18 months after their filing. In some cases, however, patent applications remain confidential in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) for 
the entire time prior to issuance as a United States patent. Similarly, publication of discoveries in the scientific or patent literature often lags behind actual discoveries.
Consequently, we cannot be certain that we or our licensors were the first to invent, or the first to file patent applications on, our drug candidates. The costs of these
proceedings could be substantial and it is possible that our efforts would be unsuccessful, resulting in a loss of our United States patent position. Furthermore, we may
not have identified all United States and foreign patents or published applications that affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize our drugs or by
covering similar technologies that affect our drug market. 

The claims of the issued patents that are licensed to us, and the claims of any patents which may issue in the future and be owned by or licensed to us, may not
confer on us significant commercial protection against competing products. Additionally, our patents may be challenged by third parties, resulting in the patent being
deemed  invalid,  unenforceable  or  narrowed  in  scope,  or  the  third  party  may  circumvent  any  such  issued  patents.  Our  patents  might  not  contain  claims  that  are 
sufficiently broad to prevent others from utilizing our technologies. Consequently, our competitors may independently develop competing products that do not infringe
our patents or other intellectual property. To the extent a competitor can develop similar products using a different molecule, our patents may not prevent others from
directly competing with us. 

The  laws  of  some  foreign  jurisdictions  do  not  protect  intellectual  property  rights  to  the  same  extent  as  in  the  United  States  and  many  companies  have
encountered  significant  difficulties  in  protecting  and  defending  such  rights  in  foreign  jurisdictions.  If  we  encounter  such  difficulties  in  protecting  or  are  otherwise
precluded from effectively protecting our intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions, our business prospects could be substantially harmed. 

Because of the extensive time required for development, testing and regulatory review of a drug candidate, it is possible that, before any of our drug candidates
can be commercialized, any related patent may expire or remain in force for only a short period following commercialization of our drug candidates, thereby reducing
any advantages of the patent. To the extent our drug candidates based on that technology are not commercialized significantly ahead of the date of any applicable patent,
or to the extent we have no other patent protection on such drug candidates, those drug candidates would not be protected by patents, and we would then rely solely on
other forms of exclusivity, such as regulatory exclusivity provided by the FDCA or trade secret protection. 

The  Leahy-Smith  America  Invents  Act  (the  “America  Invents  Act”)  was  signed  into  law  in  September  2011,  and  many  of  the  substantive  changes  became
effective in March 2013. The America Invents Act reforms United States patent law in part by changing the standard for patent approval from a “first to invent” standard 
to a “first to file” standard and developing a post-grant review system. This legislation changes United States patent law in a way that may weaken our ability to obtain
patent protection in the United States for those applications filed after March 2013. 

32

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
We  license  patent  rights  from  MD  Anderson.  If  MD  Anderson  or  any  third-party  owners  of  intellectual  property  we  may  license  in  the  future  do  not  properly
maintain or enforce the patents underlying such licenses, our competitive position and business prospects will be harmed. 

We are party to an exclusive license with MD Anderson that give us rights to intellectual property that is necessary or useful for our business. We may enter
into additional licenses for third-party intellectual property in the future. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensors to obtain, maintain and enforce
patent protection for their intellectual property, in particular, those patents to which we have secured exclusive rights. If applicable, our licensors may not successfully
prosecute  the  patent  applications  to  which  we  are  licensed.  Even  if  patents  issue  in  respect  of  any  such  patent  applications,  our  licensors  may  fail  to  maintain  these
patents, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing these patents, or may pursue such litigation less aggressively than we would.
In addition, our licensors may terminate their agreements with us in the event we breach the applicable license agreement and fail to cure the breach within a specified
period of time. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer substantially identical products for sale, which could
materially adversely affect our competitive business position, business prospects and financial condition. 

Because our research and development of drug candidates incorporates compounds and other information that is the intellectual property of third parties, we
depend on continued access to such intellectual property to conduct and complete our preclinical and clinical research and commercialize the drug candidates that result
from  this  research.  Our  license  with  MD  Anderson  imposes,  and  we  expect  that  future  licenses  would  impose,  numerous  obligations  on  us.  For  example,  under  our
existing and future license agreements, we may be required to pay (i) annual maintenance fees until a drug candidate is sold for the first time, (ii) running royalties on net
sales of drug candidates, (iii) minimum annual royalties after a drug candidate is sold for the first time, and (iv) one-time payments upon the achievement of specified 
milestones. We may also be required to reimburse patent costs incurred by the licensor, or we may be obligated to pay additional royalties, at specified rates, based on
net sales of our drug candidates that incorporate the licensed intellectual property rights. We may also be obligated under some of these agreements to pay a percentage
of  any  future  sublicensing  revenues  that  we  may  receive.  Future  license  agreements  may  also  include  payment  obligations  such  as  milestone  payments  or  minimum
expenditures  for  research  and  development.  In  addition  to  our  payment  obligations  under  our  license  with  MD  Anderson,  we  are  required  to  comply  with  reporting,
insurance and indemnification requirements under the License Agreement. We expect that any future licenses would contain similar requirements. 

If  we  fail  to  comply  with  these  obligations  or  otherwise  breach  our  license  agreement  with  MD  Anderson,  the  licensor  may  have  the  right  to  terminate  the
license in whole, terminate the exclusive nature of the license or bring a claim against us for damages. Any such termination or claim could prevent or impede our ability
to  market  any  approved  drug  candidate  that  is  covered  by  the  licensed  intellectual  property.  Even  if  we  contest  any  such  termination  or  claim  and  are  ultimately
successful, our financial results and stock price could suffer. In addition, upon any termination of the License Agreement with MD Anderson, we may be required to
grant to the licensor a license to any related intellectual property that we developed. For example, the licensors have the right to terminate our license of the intellectual
property covered by its licenses to us under certain circumstances, including our failure to make payments to the licensor when due and our uncured breach of any other
terms of the licenses. If access to such intellectual property is terminated, or becomes more expensive as a result of renegotiation of our existing license agreement with
MD Anderson, our ability to continue development of our drug candidates or the successful commercialization of our drug candidates could be severely compromised
and our business could be adversely affected. 

If we infringe or are alleged to infringe intellectual property rights of third parties, our business could be harmed.  

Our  research,  development  and  commercialization  activities,  including  any  drug  candidates  resulting  from  these  activities,  may  infringe  or  be  claimed  to
infringe patents or other proprietary rights owned by third parties and to which we do not hold licenses or other rights. There may be applications that have been filed but
not  published  that,  if  issued,  could  be  asserted  against  us.  If  a  patent  infringement  suit  were  brought  against  us,  we  could  be  forced  to  stop  or  delay  research,
development or manufacturing of drug candidate that is the subject of the suit. Further, if we are found to have infringed a third- party patent, we could be obligated to
pay royalties and/or other payments to the third party related to our drug candidates, which may be substantial, or we could be enjoined from selling our drug candidates
that obtain approval. 

There  has  been  substantial  litigation  and  other  proceedings  regarding  patent  and  other  intellectual  property  rights  in  the  pharmaceutical  and  biotechnology
industries. In addition  to  infringement  claims against  us, we  may  become  a  party  to  other  patent litigation and  other proceedings,  including  interference  proceedings
declared  by  the  USPTO  and  opposition  proceedings  in  the  European  Patent  Office,  regarding  intellectual  property  rights  with  respect  to  our  drug  candidates  and
technology. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of patent litigation or other proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business and
financial condition. 

33

  
  
  
  
  
  
Litigation regarding patents, intellectual property and other proprietary rights may be expensive and time consuming. If we are involved in such litigation, it could
cause delays in bringing drug candidates to market and harm our ability to operate.  

Our success will depend in part on our ability to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. Although we are not currently aware of any
litigation or other proceedings or third-party claims of intellectual property infringement related to our drug candidates, the pharmaceutical industry is characterized by
extensive  litigation  regarding patents  and  other  intellectual  property  rights.  Other  parties  may  obtain  patents  in  the future  and  allege  that  the use  of  our technologies
infringes these patent claims or that we are employing their proprietary technology  without authorization. Likewise, third parties may challenge or infringe upon our
existing or future patents. Under the License Agreement with MD Anderson we are responsible to enforce any patent exclusively licensed thereunder against substantial
infringement by third parties. If we fail to enforce a substantial infringement, within a specified number of days, the licensor may bring an action against the infringing
party  on  the  licensor’s  and  our  behalf  and  retain  all  recoveries  and/or  reduce  the  license  granted  under  the  License  Agreement  to  non-exclusive  for  the  technology 
infringed. Proceedings involving our patents or patent applications or those of others could result in adverse decisions regarding: 

•

•

the patentability of our inventions relating to our drug candidates; and/or

the enforceability, validity or scope of protection offered by our patents relating to our drug candidates.

Even if we are successful in these proceedings, we may incur substantial costs and divert management time and attention in pursuing these proceedings, which
could have a material adverse effect on us. If we are unable to avoid infringing the patent rights of others, we may be required to seek a license, defend an infringement
action or challenge the validity of the patents in court. Patent litigation is costly and time consuming. We may not have sufficient resources to bring these actions to a
successful conclusion. In addition, if we do not obtain a license, develop or obtain non-infringing technology, fail to defend an infringement action successfully or have
infringed patents declared invalid, we may: 

•

•

•

incur substantial monetary damages;

encounter significant delays in bringing our drug candidates to market; and/or

be precluded from participating in the manufacture, use or sale of our drug candidates or methods of treatment requiring licenses.

Furthermore,  because  of  the  substantial  amount  of  discovery  required  in  connection  with  intellectual  property  litigation,  there  is  a  risk  that  some  of  our
confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. In addition, during the course of this kind of litigation, there could be public
announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If investors perceive these results to be negative, the market price for
our common stock could be significantly harmed. 

Confidentiality  agreements  with  employees  and  others  may  not  adequately  prevent  disclosure  of  trade  secrets  and  other  proprietary  information  and  may  not
adequately protect our intellectual property.  

We rely on trade secrets to protect our technology, especially where we do not believe patent protection is appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are
difficult to protect. In order to protect our proprietary technology and processes, we also rely in part on confidentiality and intellectual property assignment agreements
with our corporate partners, employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators and sponsored researchers and other advisors. These agreements may not effectively
prevent disclosure of confidential information nor result in the effective assignment to us of intellectual property, and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event
of  unauthorized  disclosure  of  confidential  information  or  other  breaches  of  the  agreements.  In  addition,  others  may  independently  discover  our  trade  secrets  and
proprietary information, and in such case we could not assert any trade secret rights against such party. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally obtained and is using our
trade secrets is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States may be less willing to protect
trade  secrets.  Costly  and  time-consuming  litigation  could  be  necessary  to  seek  to  enforce  and  determine  the  scope  of  our  proprietary  rights,  and  failure  to  obtain  or
maintain trade secret protection could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition.

Risks Related to Our Securities 

Raising additional capital may cause dilution to existing stockholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights. Additionally, sales of a substantial
number of shares of our common stock or other securities in the public market could cause our stock price to fall. 

We may seek the additional capital necessary to fund our operations through public or private equity offerings, collaboration agreements, debt financings or
licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, existing stockholders' ownership interests
will be diluted and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect their rights as a stockholder. Debt financing, if available, may involve
agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring
dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaboration or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies
or drug candidates, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. In addition, sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock or other securities in
the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the
market price of our common stock. 

The trading price of our common stock has been volatile and is likely to be volatile in the future. 

The trading price of our common stock has been highly volatile. On March 10, 2014, our common stock ceased trading on the OTCQX and commenced trading
on the NASDAQ Capital Market, and there is a limited history on which to gauge the volatility of our stock price on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Since January 1,
2013 through February 27, 2015, our stock price has fluctuated from a low of $0.30 to a high of $5.25. The market price for our common stock will be affected by a
number of factors, including: 

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

the denial or delay of regulatory approvals of our drug candidates or receipt of regulatory approval of competing products;

our ability to accomplish clinical, regulatory and other drug development milestones;

the ability of our drug candidates, if they receive regulatory approval, to achieve market success;

the performance of third-party manufacturers and suppliers;

developments with respect to patents and other intellectual property rights;

sales of common stock or other securities by us or our stockholders in the future;

additions or departures of key scientific or management personnel;

disputes  or  other  developments  relating  to  proprietary  rights,  including  patents,  litigation  matters  and  our  ability  to  obtain patent  protection  for  our
drug candidates;

trading volume of our common stock;

investor perceptions about us and our industry;

public reaction to our press releases, other public announcements and SEC and other filings;

the failure of analysts to cover us, or changes in analysts’ estimates or recommendations;

the failure by us to meet analysts’ projections or guidance;

general market conditions and other factors unrelated to our operating performance or the operating performance of our competitors; and

the other factors described elsewhere in this “Item 1A. Risk Factors” or the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our other public filings. 

The  stock  prices  of  many  companies  in  the  biotechnology  industry  have  experienced  wide  fluctuations  that  have  often  been  unrelated  to  the  operating
performance of these companies. Following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation often has been initiated 
against  a  company.  If  any  class  action  litigation  is  initiated  against  us,  we  may  incur  substantial  costs  and  our  management’s  attention  may  be  diverted  from  our
operations, which could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition.

Our common stock is thinly traded and in the future, may continue to be thinly traded, and our stockholders may be unable to sell at or near asking prices or at all if
they need to sell their shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate such shares. 

To date, we have a low volume of daily trades in our common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Our stockholders may be unable to sell their common

stock at or near their asking prices or at all, which may result in substantial losses to our stockholders. 

The market for our common stock may be characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price
will be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the foreseeable future. As noted above, our common stock may be sporadically and/or thinly traded. As a consequence of
this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our stockholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. 

Our certificate of incorporation grants our Board the power to designate and issue additional shares of common and/or preferred stock.   

Our authorized capital consists of 200,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  Our preferred stock may be designated into
series  pursuant  to  authority  granted  by  our  certificate  of  incorporation,  and  on  approval  from  our  Board.  The  Board,  without  any  action  by  our  stockholders, may
designate  and  issue  shares  in  such  classes  or  series  as  the  Board  deems  appropriate  and  establish  the  rights,  preferences  and  privileges  of  such  shares,  including
dividends,  liquidation  and voting  rights.  The  rights of  holders of other  classes  or  series  of  stock  that  may  be  issued  could  be superior  to  the  rights  of holders  of  our
common  shares.  The  designation  and  issuance  of  shares  of  capital  stock  having  preferential  rights  could  adversely  affect  other  rights  appurtenant  to  shares  of  our
common stock. 

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends, and accordingly stockholders must rely on stock appreciation for any return on their investment in us.  

We anticipate that we will retain our earnings, if any, for future growth and therefore do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the future. As a result, only

appreciation of the price of our common stock will provide a return to stockholders. 

Our management is required to devote substantial time and incur additional expense to comply with public company regulations. Our failure to comply with such
regulations  could  subject  us  to  public  investigations,  fines,  enforcement  actions  and  other  sanctions  by  regulatory  agencies  and  authorities  and,  as  a  result,  our
stock price could decline in value.  

As a public reporting company, we are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as to the information and reporting requirements of the SEC and
other federal securities laws. We are also subject to the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market. As a result, we incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that
we  would  not  incur  as  a  private  company,  including  costs  associated  with  our  public  company  reporting  requirements  and  corporate  governance  requirements.
Compliance with these public company obligations places significant additional demands on our limited number of finance and accounting staff and on our financial,
accounting and information systems. 

In particular, as a public company, our management is required to conduct an annual evaluation of our internal controls over financial reporting and include a
report of management on our internal controls in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K. If we are unable to continue to conclude that we have effective internal controls
over  financial  reporting  or,  if  our  independent  auditors  are  unable  to  provide  us  with  an  attestation  and  an  unqualified  report  as  to  the  effectiveness  of  our  internal
controls  over  financial  reporting,  investors  could  lose  confidence  in  the  reliability  of  our  financial  statements,  which  could  result  in  a  decrease  in  the  value  of  our
common stock. 

Our common stock may be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market which could negatively impact the price of our common stock and our ability to access the
capital markets.  

The listing standards of the NASDAQ Capital Market provide that a company, in order to qualify for continued listing, must maintain a minimum stock price of
$1.00 and satisfy standards relative to minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum market value of publicly held shares and various additional requirements. If we fail to
comply with all listing standards applicable to issuers listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, our common stock may be delisted.  If our common stock is delisted, it
could reduce the price of our common stock and the levels of liquidity available to our stockholders. In addition, the delisting of our common stock could materially
adversely affect our access to the capital markets and any limitation on liquidity or reduction in the price of our common stock could materially adversely affect our
ability  to  raise  capital.  Delisting  from  the  NASDAQ  Capital  Market  could  also  result  in  other  negative  consequences,  including  the  potential  loss  of  confidence  by
suppliers, customers and employees, the loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business development opportunities.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION 

In addition to historical information, this Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involve significant risks and uncertainties, 
which  may  cause  our  actual  results  to  differ  materially  from  plans  and  results  discussed  in  forward-looking  statements.  We  encourage  you  to  review  the  risks  and 
uncertainties, discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 
10-K.  The risks and uncertainties can cause actual results to differ significantly from those forecasted in forward-looking statements or implied in historical results and 
trends.  

The  following  discussion  of  our  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  our  financial  statements  and  related  notes

included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Overview 

We are a biotechnology company with a lead cancer drug candidate, BP1001, currently in clinical trials. We were founded with technology from MD Anderson
and are dedicated to developing novel cancer drugs under an exclusive license arrangement with MD Anderson. We were originally incorporated in May 2000 as a Utah
corporation under the name of Ogden Golf Co. Corporation.  We terminated our retail golf store operations in December 2006.  On February 14, 2008, we acquired Bio-
Path, Inc., a Utah corporation, in a reverse merger transaction (the “Merger”).  In connection with the Merger, we changed our name to Bio-Path Holdings, Inc., acquired 
Bio-Path  Subsidiary  as  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  and  appointed  the  officers  and  directors  of  Bio-Path  Subsidiary  as  officers  and  directors  of  Bio-Path  Holdings, 
Inc.  We also increased our authorized capital stock and adopted a stock incentive plan.  The Merger and related matters are further described in a Current Report on
Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 19, 2008. Subsequent to the Merger, we changed our fiscal year end from June 30th to December 31st. On March 10, 2014,
our common stock ceased trading on the OTCQX and commenced trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol “BPTH.” We changed our state of 
incorporation from Utah to Delaware on December 31, 2014 through a statutory conversion pursuant to the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act and the Delaware
General Corporation Law. 

We  were  formed  to  finance  and  facilitate  the  development  of  novel  cancer  therapeutics.  Our  plan  is  to  acquire  licenses  for  drug  technologies  from  MD
Anderson and other leading medical research institutions, to fund clinical and other trials for such technologies and to commercialize such technologies. We currently
maintain  the  License  Agreement  with  MD  Anderson.  The  License  Agreement  specifically  provides  drug  delivery  platform  technology  with  composition  of  matter
intellectual  property  that  enables  systemic  delivery  of  antisense.  We  are  currently  developing  only  the  liposomal  antisense  delivery  technology  and  products.  Our
business plan is to act efficiently as an intermediary in the process of translating newly discovered drug technologies into authentic therapeutic drugs candidates.  Our
strategy is to selectively license potential drug candidates for certain cancers, and, primarily utilizing the comprehensive drug development capabilities of MD Anderson,
to advance these candidates into initial human efficacy trials (Phase IIa), and out-license and/or market each successful potential drug to a pharmaceutical company. 

As  of  December 31,  2014,  we  had  an  accumulated  deficit  of  approximately  $19.92 million.  Our  net  loss  was  approximately  $4.52 million,  $3.27 million,
$2.58 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We expect to continue to incur significant operating losses and we anticipate that our
losses may increase substantially as we expand our drug development programs and commercialization efforts. To achieve profitability, we must successfully develop
and  obtain  regulatory  approval  for  one  or  more  of  our  drug  candidates  and  effectively  commercialize  any  drug  candidates  we  develop.  In  addition,  if  we  obtain
regulatory approval of one or more of our drug candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing
and distribution. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital when needed or on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. Even if we succeed
in  developing  and  commercializing  one  or  more  of  our  drug  candidates,  we  may  not  be  able  to  generate  sufficient  revenue  and  we  may  never  be  able  to  achieve  or
sustain profitability. 

Financial Operations Overview 

Revenue 

To date, we have not generated any revenues. Our ability to generate revenues from our drug candidates, which we do not expect will occur for many years, if

ever, will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of our drug candidates. 

Research and development expenses 

Research and development expenses consist of costs associated with our research activities, including the development of our drug candidates. Our research and

development expenses consist of: 

41

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
•

•

•

external research and development expenses incurred under arrangements with third parties, such as contract research organizations, clinical sites, 
manufacturing organizations and consultants;

license fees, including maintenance fees and patent expense paid to MD Anderson in connection with the License Agreement; and

costs of materials used during research and development activities.

Costs  and  expenses  that  can  be  clearly  identified  as  research  and  development  are  charged  to  expense  as  incurred  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting  policies  (“GAAP”).  Advance  payments,  including  nonrefundable  amounts,  for  goods  or  services  that  will  be  used  or  rendered  for  future  research  and
development  activities  are  deferred  and  capitalized.  Such  amounts  will  be  recognized  as  an  expense  as  the  related  goods  are  delivered  or  the  related  services  are
performed. If the goods will not be delivered, or services will not be rendered, then the capitalized advance payment is charged to expense. 

We expect research and development expenses associated with the completion of the associated clinical trials to be substantial and to increase over time. The
successful development of our drug candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing and estimated costs of the
efforts that will be necessary to complete development of our drug candidates or the period, if any, in which material net cash inflows from our drug candidates may
commence. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing drugs, including the uncertainty of: 

•

•

•

•

•

•

the rate of progress, results and costs of completion of ongoing clinical trials of our drug candidates;

the size, scope, rate of progress, results and costs of completion of any potential future clinical trials and preclinical trials of our drug candidates that
we may initiate;

competing technological and market developments;

the performance of third-party manufacturers and suppliers;

the ability of our drug candidates, if they receive regulatory approval, to achieve market success;

disputes  or  other  developments  relating  to  proprietary  rights,  including  patents,  litigation  matters  and  our  ability  to  obtain patent  protection  for  our
drug candidates.

A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of a drug candidate could mean a significant change in the costs and timing
associated with the development of that drug candidate. For example, if the FDA or other regulatory authority were to require us to conduct clinical trials beyond those
which we currently anticipate will be required for the completion of clinical development of a drug candidate or if we experience significant delays in enrollment in any
clinical trials, we could be required to expend significant additional financial resources and time on the completion of clinical development. 

General and administrative expenses 

Our  general and administrative  expenses consist  primarily of salaries and benefits for management and administrative personnel,  professional fees for legal,

accounting and other services, travel costs and facility-related costs such as rent, utilities and other general office expenses. 

Results of Operations 

Comparisons of the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2014 to the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2013 

Research and Development Expenses. Our research and development expense was approximately $1.63 million for the twelve-month period ended December 
31, 2014, an increase of approximately $0.1 million compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013. The increase in research and development expense
was primarily due to approximate increases in manufacturing development and testing expense of $0.2 million and clinical trial expense of $0.1 million, offset to some
extent  by  $0.2  million  in  lower  drug  material  used  in  the  clinical  trial  and  other  decreases  in  expense.  Research  and  development  –  related  party  expense  was 
approximately $0.2 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $0.1 million compared to the twelve-month period ended December 
31, 2013. The increase in research and development – related party expense was primarily due to approximate increases of $0.1 million in clinical trial hospital expense
and license patent maintenance fees.

General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expense was approximately $2.72 million for the twelve-month period ended December 
31, 2014, an increase of approximately $1.1 million compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013. The increase in general and administrative expense
was  primarily  due  to  approximate  increases  in  compensation  and  healthcare  expense  of  $0.9  million  for  our  new  organization  put  in  place  in  2014,  $0.1  million  in
expense for legal and auditor services, $0.2 million associated with being a public company, and increases in other expenses totaling $0.2 million, offset to some degree
by lower stock expense for personnel involved in administrative activities of $0.3 million. 

Net  Loss.  Our  net  loss  was  approximately  $4.5  million  for  the  twelve-month  period  ended  December  31,  2014,  an  increase  of  approximately  $1.25  million 
compared the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013. The increase in the net loss was primarily due to increased research and development expense of $0.1
million and general and administrative expense of $1.1 million primarily resulting from our new organization established to take advantage of opportunities to accelerate
development  of  our  technology.  Net  loss  per  share,  both  basic  and  diluted,  was  $0.05  per  share  for  the  twelve-month  period  ended  Decembers  31,  2014  and  for  the 
twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013. 

Comparisons of the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2013 to the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2012 

Research and Development Expenses. Our research and development expense was approximately $1.52 million for the twelve-month period ended December 
31, 2013, an increase of approximately $0.4 million compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2012. The increase in research and development expense
was primarily due to an approximate $0.3 million increase in expense for drug product material used in our clinical trial due to higher drug doses being administered to
patients,  and  an  approximate  $0.1  million  for  new  preclinical  testing  programs  undertaken  in  2013.  Research  and  development  –  related  party  expense  was 
approximately  $0.1  million  for  the  twelve-month  period  ended  December  31,  2013,  a  decrease  of  approximately  $0.3  million  compared  to  the  twelve-month  period 
ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in research and development – related party expense was primarily due to a decrease in technology impairment expense for the
twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013. 

General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expense was approximately $1.63 million for the twelve-month period ended December 
31, 2013, an increase of approximately $0.6 million compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2012. The increase in general and administrative expense
was primarily due to an increase in stock option expense for management, officers and directors totaling approximately $0.7 million, a non-cash expense that is based 
upon  the  Black  Scholes  fair  value  of  the  options  grants.  Excluding  stock  option  expense,  general  and  administrative  expense  for  the  twelve-month  period  ended 
December 31, 2013 was approximately $13,000 lower than the comparable period ended December 31, 2012. 

Net  Loss.  Our  net  loss  was  approximately  $3.27  million  for  the  twelve-month  period  ended  December  31,  2013,  an  increase  of  approximately  $0.7  million
compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2012. The increase in the net loss was primarily due to an increase in research and development and general
and administrative expenses more than offsetting a decrease in research and development – related party expenses. Net loss per share, both basic and diluted, was $0.05 
per share for the twelve-month period ended Decembers 31, 2013, an increase of approximately $.01 compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2012. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Overview 

To date, we have not generated any revenues. Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through public and private offerings of our capital
stock and other securities. We expect to finance our foreseeable cash requirements through cash on hand, cash from operations and public or private equity offerings.
Additionally,  we  may  seek  collaborations  and  license  arrangements  for  our  drug  candidates.  We  may  seek  to  access  the  public  or  private  equity  markets  whenever
conditions are favorable. We currently have no lines of credit or other arranged access to debt financing. 

We had a cash balance of approximately $13.86 million at December 31, 2014, an increase of approximately $10.31 million compared to December 31, 2013.
The increase in the cash balance is primarily due to us selling an aggregate of 5.0 million shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase a total of 2.5 million
shares of our common stock to an institutional investor for gross proceeds of approximately $15.0 million. We had a cash balance of approximately $3.55 million at
December  31,  2013,  an  increase  of  approximately  $3.02  million  compared  to  December  31,  2012.  We  believe  that  our  available  cash  at  December  31,  2014  will  be
sufficient to fund our liquidity and capital expenditure requirements through the first quarter of 2016.

Cash Flows 

Comparisons of the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2014 to the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2013 

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $3.82 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2014, an increase 
of approximately $1.51 million compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013. The increase in net cash used in operating activities is primarily due to
an increase in cash operating loss of $1.5 million.  

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $14.25 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2014, an
increase of approximately $8.92 million compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities is
primarily due to us selling an aggregate of 5.0 million shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase a total of 2.5 million shares of our common stock to an
institutional investor for gross proceeds of approximately $15.0 million. 

Comparisons of the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2013 to the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2012 

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $2.31 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013, an increase 
of approximately $0.3 million compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2012. The increase in net cash used in operating activities is primarily due to
an increase of $0.4 million in cash operating loss offset to some extent by reductions of $0.1 million in cash required for current assets net of current liabilities.  

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $5.33 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013, in an 
increase of approximately $3.73 million compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2012. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities is
primarily due to us selling shares of our common stock to accredited investors in private placements. 

2014 Shelf Registration and Registered Direct Offering 

On November 5, 2013, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which was declared effective by the SEC on January 13, 2014. The
shelf registration statement was filed to register the offering and sale of up to $100 million of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants to purchase common stock or
preferred  stock  or  any  combination  thereof,  either  individually  or  in  units.  The  foregoing  does  not  constitute  an  offer  to  sell  or  the  solicitation  of  an  offer  to  buy
securities,  and  shall  not  constitute  an  offer,  solicitation  or  sale  in  any  jurisdiction  in  which  such  offer,  solicitation  or  sale  would  be  unlawful  prior  to  registration  or
qualification under the securities laws of that jurisdiction.  

On January 15, 2014, we entered into a securities purchase agreement, as amended, with certain investors, pursuant to which we agreed to sell an aggregate of
5.0  million  shares  of  our  common  stock  and  warrants  to  purchase  a  total  of  2.5  million  shares  of  our  common  stock  to  such  certain  investors  for  gross  proceeds  of
approximately $15.0 million. The net proceeds to us from the registered direct public offering, after deducting the placement agent’s fees and expenses, our estimated 
offering expenses, and excluding the proceeds to us from the exercise of the warrants issued in the offering, were approximately $13.8 million. The offering closed on

We expect to continue to incur significant operating expenses in connection with our ongoing activities, including conducting clinical trials, manufacturing and
seeking  regulatory  approval  of  our  drug  candidates,  Liposomal  Grb-2  and  Bcl-2.  Accordingly,  we  will  continue  to  require  substantial  additional  capital  to  fund  our
projected operating requirements. Such additional capital may not be available when needed or on terms favorable to us. In addition, we may seek additional capital due
to  favorable  market  conditions  or  strategic  considerations,  even  if  we  believe  we  have  sufficient  funds  for  our  current  and  future  operating  plan.  There  can  be  no
assurance that we will be able to continue to raise additional capital through the sale of our securities in the future. Our future capital requirements may change and will
depend on numerous factors, which are discussed in detail in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 

As of December 31, 2014, we did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.

(1) In April 2014, we entered into a lease for a larger office space, which we occupied as of August 2014.  The remaining lease payments due under this lease as of
December 31, 2014 are approximately $382,000. 

Critical Accounting Policies 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared
in  conformity  with  GAAP  in  the  United  States.  The  preparation  of  such  financial  statements  has  required  our  management  to  make  assumptions,  estimates  and
judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We
consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require the more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of financial statements, including the
following: 

Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Bio-Path, Inc. All 

intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

Related Party — Based on its stock ownership in us, MD Anderson meets the criteria to be deemed a related party of us. For the years ending December 31,
2014 and 2013, MD Anderson related party research and development expense was approximately $197,000 and $116,000, respectively. MD Anderson related party
research and development expense for the year ending December 31, 2014 included license expense of approximately $50,000 for the license annual maintenance fee
and approximately $31,000 for license patent expenses not capitalized in the technology license other asset and clinical trial hospital expense of approximately $116,000.
As  of  December  31,  2014,  we  had  approximately  $67,000  in  accrued research  and  development  related  expense  for  the  clinical  trial  and  approximately  $100,000  in
accrued license payments for past patent expenses and the annual license maintenance fee. See Notes 4, 5, and 6 to the financial statements included elsewhere in this
Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K.  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013,  we  had  approximately  $116,000  in  research  and  development  related  party  expense,  which
consisted of clinical trial hospital expense of approximately $52,000 and license expense of approximately $63,700, including license maintenance fees of approximately
$50,000  and  approximately  $13,700  in  patent  expenses  not  capitalized  in  the  technology  license  other  asset.  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012,  we  had
approximately $464,000 in research and development related party expense for the clinical trial, license maintenance fee and technology impairment; accounts payable
related party of approximately $9,000 for patent expenses not capitalized in the technology license and accrued license payments payable related party of approximately
$100,000 for the annual maintenance fee and past patent expenses, and approximately $26,000 accrued expense related party for clinical trial hospital expenses. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents — We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. 

Concentration of Credit Risk — Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a significant concentration of credit risk consist of cash.  The Company
maintains  its  cash  balances  with  one  major  commercial  bank,  JPMorgan  Chase  Bank.  The  balances  are  insured  by  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  (the
“FDIC”) up to $250,000. As a result, as of December 31, 2014, approximately $13.61 million of our cash balances was not covered by the FDIC. As of December 31,
2013  we  had  approximately  $3.55  million  in  cash  on-hand,  of  which  approximately  $3.3  million  was  not  covered  by  the  FDIC.  As  of  December  31,  2012,  we  had
approximately $534,000 in cash on-hand, of which approximately $284,000 was not covered by the FDIC. 

Furniture, fixtures and equipment — Furniture, fixtures and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight line method over the estimated

useful lives of the assets. Depreciation expense was approximately $10,000, $0 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The estimated useful lives are as follows: 

Furniture – 3 years 
Fixtures – 3 years 
Equipment – 3 years 

Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while costs for minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs that do not increase the useful life of an asset

are expensed as incurred. 

Long  Lived  Assets  —  Our  long  lived  assets  consist  of  furniture,  fixtures  and  equipment,  and  a  technology  license.  Long  lived  assets  are  reviewed  for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset is measured
by a comparison of the asset’s carrying amount to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment  charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair
value of the asset. 

Intangible Assets/Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — As of December 31, 2014, other assets totaled approximately $1.25 million for our technology license,
comprised of approximately $2.5 million in value acquiring our technology license and our intellectual property, less accumulated amortization of approximately $1.25
million. The technology value consists of approximately $836,200 in cash paid or accrued to be paid to MD Anderson, plus 3,138,889 shares of common stock granted
to MD Anderson valued at approximately $2.35 million less approximately $690,000 for impairment expense taken in December of 2011 and June of 2012. This value is
being amortized over a 15 year period from November 7, 2007, the date that the technology license became effective. We account for the impairment and disposition of
our long-lived assets in accordance with GAAP. Long-lived assets are reviewed for events of changes in circumstances which indicate that their carrying value may not
be recoverable. We estimate that approximately $160,000 will be amortized per year for each future year for the current value of the technology licenses acquired until
approximately  2022.  As  of  December  31,  2013  other  assets  totaled  approximately  $1.41  million,  comprised  of  approximately  $2.5  million  in  value  acquiring  our
technology  licenses  and  our  intellectual  property,  less  accumulated  amortization  of  approximately  $1.09  million.  As  of  December  31,  2012  other  assets  totaled
approximately  $1.57  million,  comprised  of  approximately  $2.5  million  in  value  acquiring  our  technology  licenses  and  our  intellectual  property,  less  accumulated
amortization of approximately $0.93 million. 

Research  and  Development  Costs  —  Costs  and  expenses  that  can  be  clearly  identified  as  research  and  development  are  charged  to  expense  as  incurred  in
accordance with GAAP. Advance payments, including nonrefundable amounts, for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development
activities are deferred and capitalized. Such amounts will be recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. If the
goods will not be delivered, or services will not be rendered, then the capitalized advance payment is charged to expense. For the year 2014, we had approximately $1.63
million of costs classified as research and development expense and approximately $197,000 of related party research and development expense. Of the research and
development  expense  totaling  approximately  $1.63  million,  approximately  $160,600  was  for  amortization  of  the  technology  license,  approximately  $83,100  was  for
stock options expense for individuals involved in research and development activities, approximately $729,000 was for drug material manufactured to be used in clinical
trials,  approximately  $12,000  was  for  drug  storage,  approximately  $194,000  was  for  clinical  trial  expense,  approximately  $90,300  was  for  advisory  services,
approximately $292,000 was for manufacturing development and drug product testing, approximately $40,500 was for preclinical studies and approximately $29,200
was for other research and development activities. Of the approximate $197,000 related party research and development expense, approximately $50,000 was comprised
of technology license maintenance fees, approximately $31,000 was for patent expenses not capitalized in technology license-Other Assets and approximately $116,000
was  comprised  of  clinical  trial  hospital  costs.  For  the  year  2013,  we  had  approximately  $1.52  million  of  costs  classified  as  research  and  development  expense  and
approximately $116,000 of related party research and development expense. For the year 2012, we had approximately $1.13 million of costs classified as research and
development expense and approximately $464,000 of related party research and development expense. 

Stock-Based  Compensation  —  We  have  accounted  for  stock-based  compensation  under  the  provisions  of  GAAP.  The  provisions  require  us  to  record  an
expense associated with the fair value of stock-based compensation.  We currently use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate stock based compensation 
at the date of grant.  Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility.  Changes in these assumptions can
materially affect the fair value estimate. 

46

  
  
  
  
  
  
Net Loss Per Share — Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Although there were warrants and stock options outstanding during 2014, 2013 and 2012, no potential common shares shall be included in
the computation of any diluted per-share amount when a loss from continuing operations exists. Consequently, diluted net loss per share as presented in the financial 
statements  is  equal  to  basic  net  loss  per  share  for  the  years  2014,  2013  and  2012.  The  calculation  of  basic  and  diluted  earnings  per  share  for  2014  did  not  include
4,734,861 shares and 10,000 shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of vested common stock options and vested warrants, respectively, as of December 31, 2014 as the
effect would be anti-dilutive. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for 2013 did not include 4,848,298 shares and 10,000 shares issuable pursuant to the
exercise of vested common stock options and vested warrants, respectively, as of December 31, 2013 as the effect would be anti-dilutive. The calculation of basic and 
diluted earnings per share for 2012 did not include 3,296,354 shares and 10,000 shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of vested common stock options and vested
warrants, respectively, as of December 31, 2012 as the effect would be anti-dilutive. 

Comprehensive Income — Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as all changes in a company’s net assets, except changes resulting from transactions with 

shareholders. At December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, we had no reportable differences between net loss and comprehensive loss. 

Use  of  Estimates  —  The  preparation  of  consolidated  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  GAAP  in  the  United  States  requires  management  to  make
estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  amounts  reported  in  our  consolidated  financial  statements  and  accompanying  notes.  On  an  ongoing  basis,  we  evaluate  our
estimates and judgments, which are based on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and, as such, actual results may differ from our estimates. 

Income Taxes — Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and

liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. 

New Accounting Pronouncements — From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Standards Accounting Board (“FASB”) 
that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective or
will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Recently, FASB issued ASU 2014-10 to eliminate the concept of a development
stage entity (a “DSE”) from GAAP. This change rescinds certain financial reporting requirements that have historically applied to DSEs. The amendments are effective
for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not yet been
issued or made available for issuance. We elected to early adopt ASU 2014-10 as of September 30, 2014.  

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 

Interest  Rate  Risk.  We  had  cash  and  cash  equivalents  of  approximately  $13.86  million  as  of  December  31,  2014.   Although  this  cash  account  is  subject  to
fluctuations in interest rates and market conditions, no significant gain or loss on this account is expected to be recognized in earnings.  We do not invest in derivative
securities. 

Capital Market Risk. We currently have no product revenues and depend on funds raised through other sources. One source of funding is through future debt or

equity offerings. Our ability to raise funds in this manner depends upon capital market forces affecting our stock price. 

ITEM 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMETARY DATA 

Our consolidated financial statements, together with the report of our independent registered public accounting firm, are set forth beginning on page F-1 of this 

Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the calendar year 2008, our fiscal year end was changed from June 30th to December 31st.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

It is management’s responsibility to establish and maintain adequate internal control over all financial reporting pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange 
Act.  Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures, as defined in Section 240.13a-15(e) or Section 240.15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form
10-K.  Following  this  review  and  evaluation, management  collectively  determined  that  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  are  effective  and  that  they  ensure  that
information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive  Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting, as
defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, and
effected by our Board, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that: 

•

•

•

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of our assets;

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and
that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a
material effect on our financial statements.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls is based principally on our financial reporting as of December 31, 2014.  In making our
assessment  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  management  used  the  criteria  set  forth  in  Internal  Control  -  Integrated  Framework  (2013) issued  by  the 
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (who is also our acting
Chief Financial Officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange 
Act, as of December 31, 2014.  Based on this evaluation, management believes that, as of December 31, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements.  Projections  of  any  evaluation  of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined
to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  The scope of management’s assessment of the 
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting includes our consolidated subsidiary. 

The  effectiveness  of  our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2014  has  been  audited  by  Mantyla  McReynolds  LLC,  an  independent

registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that have 

materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Board of Directors 

Our  operations  are  managed  under  the  broad  supervision  of  the  Board,  which  has  ultimate  responsibility  for  the  establishment  and  implementation  of  our
general operating philosophy, objectives, goals and policies. Our Board is currently comprised of three independent directors and two non-independent directors. The 
Board  has  determined  that  current  directors  Michael  J.  Garrison,  Heath  W.  Cleaver and  Amy  P.  Sing,  M.D.  are  “independent”  as  independence  is defined  under the 
listing  standards  for  the  NASDAQ  Stock  Market.  The  Board  based  these  determinations  primarily  on  a  review  of  the  responses  our  directors  provided  to  questions
regarding employment and compensation history, affiliations and family and other relationships. 

Codes of Ethics 

We have adopted the Employee Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to all of our employees, including our executive officers, and the Code of

Business Conduct and Ethics for Members of the Board, which applies to members of the Board. 

Board Committees 

The  Board  has  a  standing  audit  committee  (the  “Audit  Committee”),  compensation  committee  (the  “Compensation  Committee”)  and  nominating/corporate 
governance  committee  (the  “Nominating/Corporate  Governance  Committee”).  The  Board  may  also  establish  other  committees  from  time  to  time  as  necessary  to
facilitate the management of the business and affairs of the Company. The information below summarizes the functions of each of the committees in accordance with
their charters. 

Audit Committee 

The  Audit  Committee  has  been  structured  to  comply  with  the  requirements  of  Section 3(a)(58)(A)  of  the  Exchange  Act.  The  Board  has  determined  that the
Audit Committee members have the appropriate level of financial understanding and industry specific knowledge to be able to perform the duties of the position and are
financially literate and have the requisite financial sophistication as required by the applicable listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market.

filings with securities regulators containing financial information, including our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

The  Audit  Committee  is  responsible  to  appoint  and  set  the  compensation  for  the  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm  annually  and  to  review  and
evaluate  such  external  auditor.  This  external  auditor  reports  directly  to  the  Audit  Committee.  The  Audit  Committee  is  responsible  to  establish  our  hiring  policies
regarding  current  and  former  partners  and  employees  of  the  external  auditor.  In  addition,  the  Audit  Committee  is  responsible  to  pre-approve  all  audit  and  non-audit 
services undertaken by the external auditor. 

The  Audit  Committee  has  direct  responsibility  for  overseeing  the  work  of  the  external  auditor  engaged  for  the  purpose  of  preparing  or  issuing  an  auditor’s 

report or performing other audit, review or attest services, including the resolution of disagreements between the external auditor and management. 

The Audit Committee meets at least once per fiscal quarter to fulfill its responsibilities under its charter and in connection with the review of the Company’s 
quarterly  and  annual  financial  statements.  The  Audit  Committee  was  established  on  February  11,  2014.  The  Audit  Committee  is  comprised  of  Messrs.  Garrison  and
Cleaver and Dr. Sing. Mr. Cleaver is the chair of the Audit Committee. The Board has determined that Mr. Cleaver qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert”
under the Exchange Act and that each member of the Audit Committee is an independent director. 

Compensation Committee 

The Compensation Committee’s role is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to matters of human resources and compensation, including
equity compensation, and to establish a plan of continuity and development for our senior management. The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter
adopted by the Board. The Compensation Committee periodically assesses compensation of our executive officers in relation to companies of comparable size, industry
and  complexity,  taking  the  performance  of  the  Company  and  such  other  companies  into  consideration.  All  decisions  with  respect  to  the  compensation  of  our  Chief
Executive Officer are determined and approved either solely by the Compensation Committee or together with other independent directors, as directed by the Board. All
decisions with respect to non-CEO executive compensation, and incentive-compensation and equity based plans are first approved by the Compensation Committee and
then  submitted,  together  with  the  Compensation  Committee’s  recommendation,  to  the  members  of  the  Board  for  final  approval.  In  addition,  the  Compensation
Committee will, as appropriate, review and approve public or regulatory disclosure respecting compensation, including the Compensation Disclosure and Analysis, and
the basis on which performance is measured. The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain and compensate any outside adviser as it determines necessary to
permit  it  to  carry  out  its  duties.  The  Compensation  Committee  has  not  to  date  engaged  the  services  of  any  executive  compensation  consultant.  The  Compensation
Committee may not form or delegate authority to subcommittees without the prior approval of the Board. 

The Compensation Committee is comprised of Messrs. Garrison and Cleaver and Dr. Sing, all of whom are independent under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock

Market. The Compensation Committee meets as necessary. Mr. Garrison is the chair of the Compensation Committee. 

Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee 

The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee’s charter provides that the responsibilities of such committee include: 

•

evaluating, identifying and recommending nominees to the Board;

The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things, identifying and recommending potential candidates for nomination
to the Board. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee receives advice from the Board and will consider written recommendations from the stockholders of
the Company respecting individuals best suited to serve as directors, and, when necessary, develops its own list of appropriate candidates for directorships. 

The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee is comprised of Messrs. Garrison and Cleaver and Dr. Sing, all of whom are independent under the rules of
the  NASDAQ  Stock  Market.  The  Nominating/Corporate  Governance  Committee  was  established  on  February  11,  2014.  The  Nominating/Corporate  Governance
Committee meets at least annually, and otherwise as necessary. Mr. Garrison is the chair of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee. 

Availability of Committee Charters and Other Information 

The  charters  for  our  Audit  Committee,  Compensation  Committee,  and  Nominating/Corporate  Governance  Committee,  as  well  as  our  Corporate  Governance
Guidelines, Employee Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Members of the Board, are available under the section titled
“Corporate Governance” on the Investor/Media page of the Company’s website, www.biopathholdings.com. We intend to disclose any changes to or waivers from the 
Employee Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that would otherwise be required to be disclosed under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K on our website. The information on our
website is not, and shall not be deemed to be, a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K or incorporated into any other filings we make with the SEC. 

We also make available on our website, free of charge, access to our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 
8-K and any amendments to those reports, as well as other documents that we file with or furnish to the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as
soon as reasonably practicable after such documents are filed with, or furnished to, the SEC. 

Nomination Process 

It is our Board’s responsibility to nominate members for election to the Board and to fill vacancies on the Board that may occur between annual meetings of
stockholders. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee assists the Board by identifying and reviewing potential candidates for Board membership consistent
with criteria approved by the Board. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee also annually recommends qualified candidates (which may include existing
directors) for approval by the Board of a slate of nominees to be proposed for election to the Board at the annual meeting of stockholders. 

In  the  event  of  a  vacancy  on  the  Board  between  annual  meetings  of  our  stockholders,  the  Board  may  request  that  the  Nominating/Corporate  Governance
Committee identify, review and recommend qualified candidates for Board membership for Board consideration to fill such vacancies, if the Board determines that such
vacancies will be filled. Our Bylaws allow for up to fifteen directors. The Board is permitted by the Bylaws to change the number of directors by a resolution adopted by
the Board. In February 2014, the size of the Board was increased from four to five members and Mr. Cleaver was appointed to fill the vacancy. In addition, Ms. Gillian
Ivers-Read resigned as a member of the Board effective October 28, 2014 and Dr. Sing was appointed as a member of the Board to fill the vacancy created by Ms. Ivers-
Read’s resignation. Both Mr. Cleaver and Dr. Sing, along with the other members of our Board, were subsequently elected to the Board at the Company’s 2014 annual 
meeting of stockholders held on December 30, 2014. 

When  formulating  its  recommendations  for  potential  Board  nominees,  the  Nominating/Corporate  Governance  Committee  seeks  and  considers  advice  and
recommendations from management, other members of the Board and may seek or consider advice and recommendations from consultants, outside counsel, accountants,
or other advisors as the Nominating/Corporate Governance committee or the Board may deem appropriate. 

52

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
Board  membership  criteria  are  determined  by  the  Board,  with  input  from  the  Nominating/Corporate  Governance  Committee.  The  Board  is  responsible  for
periodically determining the  appropriate skills,  perspectives, experiences, and  characteristics required of  Board candidates,  taking  into account our  needs  and  current
make-up of the Board. This assessment should include appropriate knowledge, experience, and skills in areas deemed critical to understanding the Company and our
business; personal characteristics, such as integrity and judgment; and the candidate’s commitments to the boards of other companies. Each Board member is expected to
ensure  that  other  existing  and  planned  future  commitments  do  not  materially  interfere  with  the  member’s  service  as  a  director  and  that  he  or  she  devotes  the  time 
necessary to discharge his or her duties as a director. 

Nominations for Directors 

The  Nominating/Corporate  Governance  Committee  will  consider  candidates  for  director  nominees  that  are  recommended  by  our  stockholders  in  the  same
manner  as  Board  recommended  nominees,  in  accordance  with  the  procedures  set  forth  in  our  Bylaws.  Any  such  nominations  should  be  submitted  to  the
Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee c/o Secretary, Bio-Path Holdings, Inc., 4710 Bellaire Boulevard, Suite 201, Bellaire, Texas 77401 before the deadline set
forth in the Bylaws and should be accompanied by the following information: 

•

•

appropriate biographical information, a statement as to the qualifications of the nominee and any other information relating to such nominee that is
required to be disclosed pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy 
statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); and

the Proposing Stockholder Information (as defined in the Bylaws).

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance 

Section  16(a)  of  the  Exchange  Act  requires  our  directors  and  officers,  and  persons  who  own  more  than  10%  of  our  common  stock,  to  file  initial  reports  of
ownership and reports of changes in ownership (Forms 3, 4, and 5) of common stock with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by
SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all such forms that they file. 

To our knowledge, based solely on our review of the copies of such reports received by us and on written representations by certain reporting persons that no
reports  on  Form  5  were  required,  we  believe  that  during  the  fiscal  year  ended  December  31,  2014,  all  Section  16(a)  filing  requirements  applicable  to  our  officers,
directors and 10% stockholders were complied with in a timely manner.

ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION 

Compensation Discussion and Analysis 

The Compensation Committee oversees our compensation programs for executives and all employees. The Compensation Committee understands that for the
Company  and  its stockholders  to  achieve long-term  success,  the  compensation  programs  need  to  attract, retain,  develop  and  motivate a strong leadership  team. As  a
result,  our  executive  compensation  programs  are  designed  to  pay  for  performance,  enable  talent  attraction,  retain  top  talent  and  closely  align  the  interests  of  our
executives with those of our stockholders. All decisions with respect to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer are determined and approved either solely by
the Compensation Committee or together with other independent directors, as directed by the Board. All decisions with respect to non-CEO executive compensation, and 
incentive-compensation and equity based plans are first approved by the Compensation Committee and then submitted, together with the Compensation Committee’s 
recommendation, to the members of the Board for final approval. 

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis provides important information on our executive compensation programs and explains the compensation decisions

made during 2014 by the Compensation Committee for our named executive officers (“NEOs”). In fiscal year 2014, we had the following NEOs: 

•

Peter H. Nielsen, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President;

• Ulrich W. Mueller, Chief Operating Officer and Secretary (Mr. Mueller began serving in such capacities in March 2014); and

• Douglas P. Morris, Director and Vice President of Corporate Development (Mr. Morris ceased serving in such officer capacity in June 2014).

Compensation Philosophy 

Our primary objective with respect to executive compensation is to design a reward system that will align executive compensation with our overall business
strategies  and  attract  and  retain  highly  qualified  executives.  We  intend  to  stay  competitive  in  the  marketplace  with  companies  of  comparable  size,  industry  and
complexity. Our compensation philosophy for executives is guided by the following principles: 

• Goal-Oriented  Pay  for  Performance.  In  making  compensation  decisions,  we  consider  annual  and  long-term  Company  performance  and  assess
compensation of our executive officers in relation to companies of comparable size, industry and complexity, taking the performance of the Company
and such other companies into consideration at the individual and corporate levels.

•

Reviewed Annually. The Compensation Committee annually reviews compensation levels to ensure we remain competitive and continues to attract,
retain and motivate top-tier talent.

• Alignment with Stockholder Interests. Our compensation is intended to closely align the interests of our NEOs with those of our stockholders in an
effort to create long-term stockholder value. In developing our compensation philosophy, the Compensation Committee has considered the most recent
stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation in which an overwhelmingly positive percentage of the votes cast were in favor of our executive
compensation.  The  Compensation  Committee  is  continuously  mindful  of  stockholders’  views  on  executive  compensation  and  remains  focused  on 
ensuring proper alignment with stockholder interests.

Our  compensation  philosophy  rewards  demonstrated  performance  and  encourages  behavior  that  is  in  the  long-term  best  interests  of  the  Company  and  its

stockholders.

Elements and Mix of our 2014 Compensation Program 

The following elements made up the fiscal year 2014 compensation program for our NEOs:

Purpose, Basis and Performance Criteria

Stock Options

(cid:5)   Base salary is intended to provide a market competitive level of fixed compensation

in recognition of responsibilities, skills, capabilities, experience and leadership. 

(cid:5)   Base  salary  is  not  generally  performance  based,  but  reflective  of  competencies  and

experience.

(cid:5)   Annual  cash  performance  incentive  awards  are  intended  to  motivate  and  reward

performance achievement. 

(cid:5)   Payments are discretionary and approved annually by the Compensation Committee.

(cid:5)   Long-term incentive awards are intended to recognize and reward the achievement of
long-term corporate goals and objectives, recognize promotions, motivate retention of
our leadership talent and align executives’ interests with our stockholders. 

(cid:5)   The Compensation Committee determines the amount of long-term incentive awards 
to be granted to each executive officer. The Compensation Committee also may make
isolated  awards  to  recognize  promotions,  new  hires  or  individual  performance
achievements. 

(cid:5)   In 2014, the long-term incentive awards included time-vested equity awards that vest 

over a four-year period. 

(cid:5)   The Compensation Committee provides time-vested long-term incentives (i) to build 
a consistent ownership stake and retention incentive, (ii) to create a meaningful tie to
the Company’s relative long-term stockholder returns and (iii) to motivate consistent
improvement over a longer-term horizon. 

Change of Control Severance

Eligible to receive severance 
payments and post-termination 
health benefits in connection with 
involuntary termination within 
three months before or twelve 
months after a change of control

(cid:5)   Employment  agreements  are  intended  to  provide  financial  security  and  an  industry-
competitive  compensation  package  for  NEOs.  This  additional  security  helps  ensure
that  officers  remain  focused  on  our  performance  and  the  continued  creation  of
stockholder  value  throughout  any  change  of  control  transaction  rather  than  on  the
potential  uncertainties  associated  with  their  own  employment.  Currently,  our  only
NEO with whom we have entered into an employment agreement is Mr. Nielsen. 

Evaluation Process, Compensation Consultant, Peer Comparisons and Officers 

Evaluation  Process.  The  Compensation  Committee  oversees  the  administration  of  the  compensation  programs  applicable  to  our  employees,  including  our
NEOs.  The  Compensation  Committee  generally  makes  its  decisions  regarding  the  annual  compensation  of  our  NEOs  at  its  regularly-scheduled  meeting  in  the  first 
quarter of each year. These decisions include adjustments to base salary, grants of annual incentive awards and grants of long-term incentive awards. The Compensation
Committee also makes compensation adjustments as necessary at other times during the year, such as in the case of promotions, changes in employment status and for
competitive purposes. 

Each  year  for  the  Compensation  Committee  meeting,  our  CEO  prepares  an  evaluation  of  each  of  the  other  executive  officers  and  makes  compensation
recommendations to the Compensation Committee based upon our performance against our corporate performance metrics and the individual's performance against his
or her goals. In addition to considering the CEO's recommendations, the Compensation Committee assesses the applicable executive officer's impact during the year and
his or her overall value to the Company, specifically by considering the individual leadership skills, impact on strategic initiatives, performance in his or her primary
area of responsibility, his or her role in succession planning and development, and other intangible qualities that contribute to corporate and individual success.

Compensation Consultant and Peer Comparisons.  For the 2014 performance period, the Compensation Committee did not engage an external consultant to
review the compensation of our executive officers. The Compensation Committee relied upon peer executive compensation data from proxies and compensation surveys
of the Industry Peer Group (as defined below) for comparison purposes. Based on these comparisons, the Compensation Committee targeted base salary compensation
for our NEOs at below the twenty-fifth (25th) percentile of salaries for executives in our Industry Peer Group. 

The Compensation Committee reviewed executive compensation data from the Industry Peer Group to benchmark competitive pay levels and compensation

practices. In identifying companies to include in the Industry Peer Group, the Compensation Committee considered, among other things, the following: 

•

•

•

•

the industry of the companies;

the annual revenue, market value and total assets of the companies;

the market data sources that are available with respect to the companies; and

the number of employees of the companies.

For 2014, Industry Peer Group consisted following companies (the “Industry Peer Group”): 

•

•

•

•

BioTime, Inc. (BTX)

Sunesis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (SNSS)

Curis, Inc. (CRIS)

Threshold Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (THLD)

• Verastem, Inc. (VSTM)

• Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ACHN)

•

ZIOPHARM Oncology, Inc. (ZIOP)

• Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AMPE)

•

Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp. (SNTA)

• Omeros Corp. (OMER)

•

•

•

•

Cempra, Inc. (CEMP)

Immunomedics, Inc. (IMMU)

Repros Therapeutics, Inc. (RPRX)

Endocyte, Inc. (ECYT)

• Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (MACK)

•

BioCryst Pharmaceutical,s Inc. (BCRX)

• Geron Corp. (GERN)

Role of the Chief Executive Officer.  Annually, our CEO provides the Compensation Committee with an evaluation of his performance that is based, in large
part, upon performance of the Company and as our lead representative to the investment community. The Compensation Committee evaluates our CEO on these and
other criteria. The total compensation package for our CEO is based on the Compensation Committee’s evaluation, and reflects his performance, the performance of the 
Company and competitive industry practices. 

Role  of  Other  Executive  Officers.   Our  CEO  makes  recommendations  to  the  Compensation  Committee  on  all  compensation  actions  (other  than  his  own
compensation)  affecting  our  executive  officers.  In  developing  his  recommendation  for  an  executive  officer,  our  CEO  considers  the  self-evaluation  prepared  by  the 
executive  officer,  the  recommendations  of  his  executive  team,  as  well  as  his  own  evaluation.  Our  CEO’s  evaluation  includes  an  assessment  of  the  impact  that  the 
executive officer has had on the Company during the award year and their overall value to the Company as a senior leader.

The  Compensation  Committee  is  provided  with  our  CEO’s  evaluation  of  each  executive  officer’s  performance  and  contributions  to  the  Company.  The 
Compensation Committee considers the information and recommendations provided by our CEO and provides a recommendation to the Board for non-CEO executive 
officer the base salary, annual cash incentive awards and grants of long-term incentive awards, which are subject to Board approval. 

2014 Performance Analysis and Compensation Decisions 

In its meeting in the first quarter of each year, the Compensation Committee determines base salaries for the current year, the annual performance incentive
awards for prior-year performance and the long-term incentive awards for the current year. Each element is reviewed annually, as well as at the time of a promotion,
other change in responsibilities, other significant corporate events or a material change in market conditions. Variances in the amount of compensation awarded to each
executive officer generally reflect differences in individual responsibility and experience as well as the competitive levels provided to officers in comparable positions in
our industry. Overall, our CEO’s compensation is higher than the compensation of the other executive officers. This difference in compensation is supported by industry
benchmark  data  from  our  Industry  Peer  Group, and is  indicative  of  the greater  responsibility the  CEO  position entails  for  the strategic  direction, financial condition,
operating results and image of the Company. 

Base  Salary.   In  recent  years,  the  Compensation  Committee  has  adjusted  executive  base  salaries  to  be  more  competitive  with  the  salaries  for  comparable
positions within companies of comparable size, industry and complexity, with the goal of providing a stable base of competitive cash compensation while rewarding
corporate and individual performance through annual performance incentive awards. During 2014, the annual base salaries for our NEOs were adjusted between (50)% 
and 60% compared to 2013 base salaries. The base salary adjustments made during 2014 are reflected in the following table: 

Mr. Nielsen (1)
Mr. Morris (2)
Mr. Mueller

N/A

Mr.  Nielsen’s  annual  salary  increased  from  $250,000  in  2012  and  2013  to  $400,000  in  2014.  The  increase  in  Mr.  Nielsen’s  salary  reflects  his 
contributions  to  the  Company’s  success  and  achievement  of  numerous  milestones,  including  development  of  manufacturing  processes  and  supplier
base for our proprietary liposomal delivery technology, recruiting key individuals to build our organization, raising over $30 million in cash for the
Company and leading the Company to becoming listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Mr. Nielsen’s current salary is below the twenty-fifth (25th) 
percentile of salaries of comparable executives within our Industry Peer Group.

(2)

Mr. Morris decided to reduce his role with the Company in order to devote time to another venture. The effect of the salary decrease was to transition
this change and his eventual departure from the Company.

Mr. Mueller began serving as our Chief Operating Officer in March 2014 and Mr. Morris ceased serving in his officer capacities in June 2014. Accordingly, for
the fiscal year ended 2014, both Mr. Mueller and Mr. Morris received only prorated portions of their base salaries, which were based on their respective starting and
ending dates of employment in 2014, as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table, below. 

Annual Performance Incentive Awards.   During 2014, the Compensation Committee approved discretionary annual cash performance incentive awards for Mr.

Nielsen in the amount of $125,000 and for Mr. Morris in the amount of $12,000, which were intended to motivate and reward performance achievement. 

Long-term Incentive Awards.  The Compensation Committee believes that long-term incentive awards should provide for a retention incentive with the strong
tie to relative long-term stockholder return. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee grants stock option awards that typically vest over a four-year period. On May 1, 
2014, we granted Mr. Mueller a time-vested stock option award to purchase 125,000 shares of our common stock. The terms of the stock option grant require, among
other things, that Mr. Mueller continues to provide services over the vesting period of the option. The option vests over four equal one-fourth (1/4) increments on the 
first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of May 1, 2014.

Currently, our compensation structure for all non-employee directors is as follows: 

Board Compensation 

Non-employee directors receive as compensation the following amounts: (i) $2,000 for each required meeting of the Board attended in person; (ii) $1,500 for
each meeting of the Board conducted by telephonic or other electronic communications of duration of 15 minutes or longer; and (iii) $500 for each meeting of the Board
of duration less than 15 minutes conducted by telephonic or other electronic communications. Board members must attend meetings in person or by telephonic or other
electronic communications to receive the applicable compensation.   

Each non-employee director of the Board also receives as compensation an annual stock option grant (a “Grant”) of 25,000 shares of our common stock (the
“Option Shares”). The exercise price of the Option Shares is determined by the Board and the Option Shares vest over a four-year period from the date of the Grant, with 
one-fourth (1/4) of the Option Shares vesting on the first anniversary of each such Grant (i.e., 6,250 Option Shares), and the remaining Option Shares vesting thereafter
in equal monthly increments equal to one-forty-eighth (1/48) of the Option Shares over the next three years (i.e., approximately 520.83 Option Shares per month), based
on continuing service to the Company. 

Committee Compensation 

Each non-employee director of the Board who is a member of a Board committee will also receive as compensation the following amounts: (i) $1,500 for each
committee meeting attended in person; (ii) $1,000 for each committee meeting conducted by telephonic or other electronic communications of duration of 15 minutes or

must attend meetings in person or by telephonic or other electronic communications to receive the applicable compensation. 

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation 

All present members of the Compensation Committee are independent directors, and none of them are present or past employees of the Company. Douglas P.
Morris served as a member of the Compensation Committee during the fiscal year 2014, but ceased to serve on such committee as of February 11, 2014 in preparation
for our initial listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market, which was effective March 10, 2014. During the time Mr. Morris served on the Compensation Committee, he also
served as one of our executive officers. 

No present or past member of the Compensation Committee has had any relationship with us requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the 
Exchange Act. None of our present or past executive officers have served on the board or compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function)
of any other entity, one of whose executive officers served on our Board or Compensation Committee.

pay  in  actions  or  proceedings  which  he  or  she  is  or  may  be  made  a  party  by  reason  of  his  or  her  position  as  a  director,  officer  or  other  agent  of  the  Company,  and

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

Board of Directors and Stockholders 
Bio-Path Holdings, Inc. 
Bellaire, Texas 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Bio-Path  Holdings,  Inc.  (the  “Company”)  as  of  December  31,  2014  and  2013  and  the  related 
consolidated  statements  of  operations,  shareholders’  equity,  and  cash  flows  for  each  of  the  three  years  in  the  period  ended  December  31,  2014.  These  consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on
our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31,
2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting 
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 

We  also  have  audited,  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United  States),  the  Company’s  internal  control  over 
financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated March 16, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

Board of Directors and Stockholders 
Bio-Path Holdings, Inc. 
Bellaire, Texas 

We  have  audited  Bio-Path  Holdings,  Inc.’s  (the  “Company”)  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2014,  based  on  criteria  established  in  the
Internal  Control  –  Integrated  Framework  (2013)  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  (COSO).  Bio-Path  Holdings, 
Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was  maintained  in  all  material  respects.  Our  audit
included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  a  process  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the  reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the
preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition
of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Bio-Path Holdings, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on the
COSO criteria.  

We  also  have  audited,  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United  States),  the  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  the
Company as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in 
the period ended December 31, 2014 and our report dated March 16, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Bio-Path Holdings, Inc. 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
December 31, 2014 

1. Organization and Business

Bio-Path  Holdings,  Inc.  (“Bio-Path”  or  the  “Company”)  is  a  biotechnology  company  with  its  lead  cancer  drug  candidate,  Liposomal  Grb-2  (“L-Grb-2”  or  “BP-100-
1.01”), currently in clinical trials. The planned principal operations are described in the following paragraphs. The Company was founded with technology from The
University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center (“MD Anderson”)  and is dedicated to developing novel cancer drugs under an exclusive license arrangement (the
“License Agreement”). The Company  has  drug delivery platform  technology with composition of matter intellectual property for systemic  delivery  of its proprietary
antisense. Bio-Path also plans to investigate developing liposome tumor targeting technology, which has the potential to be developed to augment the Company’s current 
delivery technology to improve further the effectiveness of its antisense. In addition to its existing technology under license the Company expects to maintain a close
working relationship with key members of the MD Anderson staff, which has the potential to provide Bio-Path with additional drug candidates in the future. Bio-Path 
also expects to broaden its technology to include cancer drugs other than antisense, including drug candidates licensed from institutions other than MD Anderson. 

Bio-Path  believes  that  its  core  technology,  if  successful,  will  enable  it  to  be  at  the  center  of  emerging  genetic  and  molecular  target-based  therapeutics  that  require 
systemic  delivery  of  DNA  and  RNA-like  material.  The  Company’s  two  lead  liposomal  antisense  drug  candidates  are  targeted  to  treat  Acute  Myeloid  Leukemia
(“AML”),  Myelodysplastic  Syndrome  (“MDS”),  Philadelphia  Chromosome  Positive  Chronic  Myelogenous  Leukemia  (“CML”),  Acute  Lymphoblastic  Leukemia 
(“ALL”)  and  follicular  lymphoma,  and  if  successful,  could  potentially  be  used  in  treating  many  other  indications  of  cancer.  For  example,  in  July  of  2013  Bio-Path 
announced  that  it  was  initiating  development  of  its  lead  cancer  drug  Liposomal  Grb-2  to  treat  triple  negative  breast  cancer  (TNBC)  and  inflammatory  breast  cancer
(IBC), two cancers characterized by formation of aggressive tumors and relatively high mortality rates. 

The Company was founded in May of 2007 as a Utah corporation. In February of 2008, Bio-Path completed a reverse merger with Ogden Golf Co. Corporation, a public 
company traded over the counter that had no current operations. The name of Ogden Golf was changed to Bio-Path Holdings, Inc. and the directors and officers of Bio-
Path, Inc. became the directors and officers of Bio-Path Holdings, Inc. Bio-Path became a publicly traded company as a result of this merger. The Company’s operations 
to date have been limited to organizing and staffing the Company, acquiring, developing and securing its technology and undertaking product development for a limited
number of product candidates including readying and now conducting a Phase I clinical trial in its lead drug product candidate Liposomal Grb-2. 

On November 5, 2013, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which was declared effective by the SEC on January 13, 2014. The
shelf registration statement was filed to register the offering and sale of up to $100 million of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants to purchase common stock or
preferred  stock  or  any  combination  thereof,  either  individually  or  in  units.  The  foregoing  does  not  constitute  an  offer  to  sell  or  the  solicitation  of  an  offer  to  buy
securities,  and  shall  not  constitute  an  offer,  solicitation  or  sale  in  any  jurisdiction  in  which  such  offer,  solicitation  or  sale  would  be  unlawful  prior  to  registration  or
qualification under the securities laws of that jurisdiction. 

On January 15, 2014, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, as amended, with two dedicated healthcare funds (collectively, the “Sabby Investors”) 
that are managed by Sabby Management, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase
a total of 2,500,000 shares of its common stock to the Sabby Investors for gross proceeds of approximately $15,000,000. The net proceeds to the Company from the
registered direct public offering, after deducting the placement agent’s fees and expenses, the Company’s estimated offering expenses, and excluding the proceeds from 
the exercise of the warrants issued in the offering, were approximately $13.8 million. The Company is using the net proceeds from this offering and sale of securities for
working capital and general corporate purposes.

On March 5, 2014, the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC informed the Company that it had approved the listing of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Capital
Market. The Company’s common stock ceased trading on the OTCQX and commenced trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on March 10, 2014 under the ticker
symbol “BPTH.” 

In April 2014 the Company entered in a lease for a larger office space. The new, expanded size office is required for the core organization the Company has added. 

In December of 2014, a former Director of the Company exercised stock options on 525,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of 
$435,500. 

As of December 31, 2014, Bio-Path had $13,858,798 in cash on hand. 

At the December 30, 2014 annual shareholder meeting, shareholders approved a change in incorporation to the State of Delaware. This was subsequently completed 
effective December 31, 2014. 

As the Company has not begun its planned principal operations of commercializing a product candidate, the Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and 
uncertainties, including the potential requirement to secure additional funding, the outcome of the Company’s clinical trials, and failing to operationalize the Company’s 
current drug candidates before another company develops similar products. 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bio-Path Holdings, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary Bio-Path, Inc. 
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

Related Party — Based on its stock ownership in the Company, MD Anderson Cancer Center meets the criteria to be deemed a related party of Bio-Path Holdings. For 
the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2013, MD Anderson related party research and development expense was $196,661 and $115,705, respectively. MD Anderson
related party research and development expense for the year ending December 31, 2014 included license expense of $50,000 for the license annual maintenance fee and
$31,211 for license patent expenses not capitalized in the technology license other asset and clinical trial hospital expense of $115,450. As of December 31, 2014, the
Company had $67,050 in accrued R&D related expense for the clinical trial and $100,000 in accrued license payments for past patent expenses and the annual license
maintenance fee. See Notes 4,  5, and 6. For  the year  ended December 31, 2013,  the Company  had  $115,705 in R&D related party expense for  clinical trial hospital
expense  of  $52,050  and  license  expense  of  $63,655  including  license  maintenance  fees  of  $50,000  and  $13,655  in  patent  expenses not  capitalized  in  the  technology
license other asset. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had $463,870 in R&D related party expense for the clinical trial, license maintenance fee and
technology impairment, accounts payable related party of $8,582 for patent expenses not capitalized in the technology license and accrued license payments payable
related party of $100,000 for the annual maintenance fee and past patent expenses, and $26,000 accrued expense related party for clinical trial hospital expenses. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. 

Concentration of Credit Risk — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist of cash. The Company
maintains  its  cash  balances  with  one  major  commercial  bank,  JPMorgan  Chase  Bank.  The  balances  are  insured  by  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  up  to
$250,000. As a result, as of December 31, 2014, $13,608,798 of the Company’s cash balances were not covered by the FDIC. As of December 31, 2013 the Company
had $3,551,832 in cash on-hand, of which $3,301,832 was not covered by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance and as of December 31, 2012 the Company
had $534,046 in cash on-hand, of which $284,046 was not covered by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance. 

F-10

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
Furniture, fixtures and equipment — Furniture, fixtures and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
of the assets. Depreciation expense was $10,284, $0 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 

The estimated useful lives are as follows: 

Furniture – 3 years 
Fixtures – 3 years 
Equipment – 3 years 

Major  additions  and  improvements  are  capitalized,  while  costs  for  minor  replacements,  maintenance,  and  repairs  that  do  not  increase  the  useful  life  of  an  asset  are
expensed as incurred. 

Long-Lived  Assets  —  The  Company’s  long-lived  assets  consist  of  furniture,  fixtures  and  equipment,  and  a  technology  license.  Long-lived  assets  are  reviewed  for 
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset is measured
by a comparison of the asset’s carrying amount to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment  charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair
value of the asset. 

Intangible Assets — As of December 31, 2014, Other Assets totaled $1,250,893 for the Company’s technology license, comprised of $2,500,374 in value acquiring the 
Company’s technology license  and  its intellectual  property, less  accumulated amortization of  $1,249,481.  The technology value consists  of $836,207  in cash paid or
accrued to be paid to MD Anderson, plus 3,138,889 shares of common stock granted to MD Anderson valued at $2,354,167 less $690,000 for impairment expense taken
in  December  of  2011  and  June  of  2012.  This  value  is  being  amortized  over  a  15  year  period  from  November  7,  2007,  the  date  that  the  technology  license  became
effective. The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of its long-lived assets in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Long-
lived  assets  are  reviewed  for  events  of  changes  in  circumstances  which  indicate  that  their  carrying  value  may  not  be  recoverable.  The  Company  estimates  that
approximately  $160,000  will  be  amortized  per  year  for  each  future  year  for  the  current  value  of  the  technology  licenses  acquired  until  approximately  2022.  As  of
December 31, 2013 Other Assets totaled $1,411,518 comprised of $2,500,374 in value acquiring the Company’s technology licenses and its intellectual property, less 
accumulated  amortization  of  $1,088,856.  As  of  December  31,  2012  Other  Assets  totaled  $1,572,143  comprised  of  $2,500,374  in  value  acquiring  the  Company’s 
technology licenses and its intellectual property, less accumulated amortization of $928,231. 

Research and Development Costs — Costs and expenses that can be clearly identified as research and development are charged to expense as incurred in accordance
with  GAAP.  Advance  payments,  including  nonrefundable  amounts,  for  goods  or  services  that  will  be  used  or  rendered  for  future  R&D  activities  are  deferred  and
capitalized. Such amounts will be recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. If the goods will not be delivered, or
services will not be rendered, then the capitalized advance payment is charged to expense. For the year 2014, the Company had $1,630,439 of costs classified as research
and development expense and $196,661 of related party research and development expense. Of the research and development expense totaling $1,630,439, $160,625
was for amortization of the technology license, $83,139 was for stock options expense for individuals involved in research and development activities, $729,031 for drug
material  manufactured  to  be  used  in  the  clinical  trial,  $11,965  for  drug  storage,  $193,640  for  clinical  trial  expense,  $90,337  for  advisory  services,  $291,993  for
manufacturing development and drug product testing, $40,520 for preclinical studies and $29,189 for other R&D activities. Of the $196,661 related party research and
development expense, $50,000 was comprised of technology license maintenance fees, $31,211 in patent expenses not capitalized in technology license-Other Assets 
and $115,450 was comprised of clinical trial hospital costs. For the year 2013, the Company had $1,518,885 of costs classified as research and development expense and
$115,705 of related party research and development expense. For the year 2012, the Company had $1,132,712 of costs classified as research and development expense
and $463,870 of related party research and development expense. 

F-11

  
  
  
  
  
  
Stock-Based  Compensation  —  The  Company  has  accounted  for  stock-based  compensation  under  the  provisions  of  GAAP.  The  provisions  require  us  to  record  an
expense associated with the fair value of stock-based compensation.  We currently use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate stock based compensation 
at the date of grant.  Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility.  Changes in these assumptions can
materially affect the fair value estimate. 

Net Loss Per Share – Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during  the  period.  Although  there  were  warrants  and  stock  options  outstanding  during  2014,  2013  and  2012,  no  potential  common  shares  shall  be  included  in  the
computation  of  any  diluted  per-share  amount  when  a  loss  from  continuing  operations  exists.  Consequently,  diluted  net  loss  per  share  as  presented  in  the  financial
statements  is  equal  to  basic  net  loss  per  share  for  the  years  2014,  2013  and  2012.  The  calculation  of  Basic  and  Diluted  earnings  per  share  for  2014  did  not  include
4,734,861 shares and 10,000 shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of vested common stock options and vested warrants, respectively, as of December 31, 2014 as the
effect would be anti-dilutive. The calculation of Basic and Diluted earnings per share for 2013 did not include 4,848,298 shares and 10,000 shares issuable pursuant to
the  exercise  of  vested  common  stock  and  vested  warrants,  respectively,  as  of  December  31,  2013  as  the  effect  would  be  anti-dilutive.  The  calculation  of  Basic  and
Diluted earnings per share for 2012 did not include 3,296,354 shares and 10,000 shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of vested common stock and vested warrants,
respectively, as of December 31, 2012 as the effect would be anti-dilutive.   

Comprehensive  Income  —  Comprehensive  income  (loss)  is  defined  as  all  changes  in  a  company’s  net  assets,  except  changes  resulting  from  transactions  with 
shareholders. At December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company has no reportable differences between net loss and comprehensive loss. 

Use  of  Estimates  —  The  preparation  of  consolidated  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an 
ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, which are based on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that
the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and, as such, actual results
may differ from the Company’s estimates. 

Income Taxes — Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. 

New Accounting Pronouncements — From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board that are adopted by
the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not
have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company's  consolidated  financial  statements  upon  adoption.  Recently,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2014-10  to  eliminate  the  concept  of  a 
development stage entity (DSE) from U.S. GAAP. This change rescinds certain financial reporting requirements that have historically applied to DSEs. The amendments
are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have
not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2014-10 as of September 30, 2014.

Prepaid Drug Product for Testing

Advance payments, including nonrefundable amounts, for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future R&D activities are deferred and capitalized. Such
amounts will be recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. The Company incurred installments to its contract
drug manufacturing and raw material suppliers totaling $51,364 in late 2013 pursuant to a Drug Supply Contract (See Note 9) for the manufacture and delivery of the
Company’s lead drug product  for  testing in a Phase I clinical trial.  This amount was carried on the Balance  Sheet as  of December 31, 2013 at cost  as Prepaid Drug
Product  for  Testing.  The  Company  incurred  additional  installment  costs  with  the  total  costs  incurred  totaling  $154,667  being  carried  on  the  Balance  Sheet  as  of
December 31, 2014 as Prepaid Drug Product for Testing (See Note 9).

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The  Plan  -  In  2007,  the  Company  adopted  the  2007  Stock  Incentive  Plan,  as  amended  (the  “Plan”).  The  Plan  provides  for  the  grant  of  Incentive  Stock  Options, 
Nonqualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Unit Awards, Performance Awards and other stock-based awards, or any combination of the
foregoing  to  our  key  employees,  non-employee  directors  and  consultants.  As  of  December  31,  2014  the  total  number  of  Shares  reserved  and  available  for  grant  and
issuance pursuant to this Plan is 8,423,787 Shares, subject to the automatic annual Share increase as defined in the Plan. Under the Plan, the exercise price is determined
by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors, and for options intended to qualify as qualified incentive stock options, may not be less than the fair market
value  as  determined  by  the  closing  stock  price  at  the  date  of  the  grant.  Each  option  and  award  shall  vest  and  expire  as  determined  by  the  compensation  committee.
Options expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. All grants provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change of control, as defined in the Plan. 

Stock option awards granted for the year 2014 were estimated to have a weighted average fair value per share of $2.51. Stock option awards granted for the years 2013
and  2012  were  estimated  to  have  weighted  average  fair  values  per  share  of  $0.47  and  $0.37,  respectively.  The  fair  value  calculation  is  based  on  stock  options  and
warrants granted during a period using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the date of grant. In addition, for all stock options and compensation-based warrants 
granted,  exercise  price  was  determined  based  on  the  fair  market  value  as  determined  by  the  closing  stock  price  at  the  date  of  the  grant.  For  stock  option  and
compensation-based warrants granted during 2012, 2013 and 2014 the following weighted average assumptions were used in determining fair value: 

Risk-free interest rate
Dividend yield
Expected volatility
Expected term in months

2012
   0.78% 
        0% 
    185% 
      61    

2013
   1.58% 
         0%  
     189%  
       69      

2014
   2.12% 
         0%  
      174%  
        80     

The  Company  determines  the  expected  term  of  its  stock  option  and  warrant  awards  using  the  simplified  method  based  on  the  weighted  average  of  the  length  of  the
vesting period and the term of the exercise period. Expected volatility is determined by the volatility of the Company’s historical stock price over the expected term of 
the grant. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of each option and warrant granted is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. 

Option activity under the Plan for the year ended December 31, 2014, was as follows:

The Company’s policy for classifying interest and penalties associated with unrecognized income tax benefits is to include such items as tax expense. No interest or
penalties have been recorded during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 and no interest or penalties have been accrued as of December 31, 2014, 2013
and 2012. 

The tax years from 2010 and forward remain open to examination by federal and state authorities due to net operating loss and credit carryforwards. The Company is
currently not under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authorities. 

11. Subsequent Events

In the first quarter of 2015 the Company entered into several contracts with its drug substance and final drug product manufacturers for drug requirements for the first
half  of  2015.  Bio-Path  entered  into  three  agreements  with  its  drug  substance  manufacturer  including  a  contract  for  Grb-2  antisense  for  use  in  a  clinical  trial,  a
development contract for Bcl-2 antisense for its second drug candidate Liposomal Bcl-2 and a contract for Bcl-2 antisense for use in the drug product Liposomal Bcl-2 
that would be used in a clinical trial. Bio-Path also entered into two contracts for manufacture of two batches of the Liposomal Grb-2 drug product for use in its Phase 2 
clinical trial. Together these contracts total approximately $650,000, which will likely be paid over the first three quarters of 2015.
