NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Organization

Cleveland BioLabs, Inc. (“CBLI” or the “Company”) is engaged in the discovery, development and commercialization of products for cancer treatment and protection of normal tissues from radiation and other stresses. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 5, 2003 and is headquartered in Buffalo, New York. The Company's initial technological development efforts are intended to be used as powerful antidotes with a broad spectrum of applications including protection from cancer treatment side effects, radiation and hypoxia. A significant discovery found that one of its compounds increases the number of progenitor (originator) stem cells in mouse bone marrow. To date, the Company has not developed any commercial products. The Company has developed and produced biological compounds under a single commercial development contract.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation - The information at June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, and for the quarter and six-months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, is unaudited. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with CBLI’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, which were contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Cash and Equivalents - The Company considers highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. In addition, the Company maintains cash and equivalents at financial institutions, which may exceed federally insured amounts at times and which may, at times, significantly exceed balance sheet amounts due to outstanding checks.

Marketable Securities and Short Term Investments - The Company considers investments with a maturity date of more than three months to be short-term investments and has classified these securities as available-for-sale. Such investments are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity. The cost of available-for-sale securities sold is determined based on the specific identification method.

Accounts Receivable - The Company extends unsecured credit to customers under normal trade agreements, which generally require payment within 30 days. Management estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts which is based upon management's review of delinquent accounts and an assessment of the Company's historical evidence of collections. There is no allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

Equipment - Equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets (generally five years) using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are depreciated on the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated. Depreciation expense was $80,256, and $34,016 for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Depreciation expense was $157,066 and $61,861 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - In accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets to be held and used, including equipment and intangible assets subject to depreciation and amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets or related asset group may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of discounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, the carrying amount of the asset is written down to its estimated net realizable value.

G.	Intellectual Property - The Company capitalizes the costs associated with the preparation, filing, and maintenance of certain intellectual property rights. Capitalized intellectual property is reviewed annually for impairment.

A portion of this intellectual property is owned by the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, or CCF, and granted to the Company through an exclusive licensing agreement. As part of the licensing agreement, CBLI agrees to bear the costs associated with the preparation, filing and maintenance of patent applications relating to this intellectual property. If the patent application is approved, the costs paid by the Company are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of 17 years or the anticipated useful life of the patent. If the patent application is not approved, the costs associated with the preparation, filing and maintenance of the patent application by the Company on behalf of CCF will be expensed as part of selling, general and administrative expenses. Gross capitalized patents pending costs were $614,082 and $407,425 for these 13 patent applications as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. All of the CCF patent applications are still pending approval.

The Company also has submitted four patent applications as a result of intellectual property exclusively developed and owned by the Company. If the patent applications are approved, costs paid by the Company associated with the preparation, filing, and maintenance of the patents will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of 17 years or the anticipated useful life of the patent. If the patent application is not approved, the costs associated with the preparation, filing and maintenance of the patent application will be expensed as part of selling, general and administrative expenses at that time. Gross capitalized patents pending costs were $65,001 and $51,677 for these four patent applications as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The patent applications are still pending approval.

Line of Credit - The Company has a working capital line of credit that is fully secured by short-term investments. This fully-secured, working capital line of credit carries an interest rate of prime minus 1%, a borrowing limit of $1,000,000, and expires on September 25, 2008. At June 30, 2008, there were no outstanding borrowings under this credit facility.

I.	Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are carried at net realizable value.

In September 2006, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities and expands disclosure with respect to fair value measurements. This statement was originally effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP157-2 which allows companies to elect a one-year deferral of adoption of SFAS No. 157 for non-recurring assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a non-recurring basis. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 157 as of January 1, 2008.

SFAS No. 157 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring a company to develop its own assumptions. The Company does not have any significant assets or liabilities measured at fair value using Level 1 or Level 3 inputs as of June 30, 2008.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under these circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”, or SAB 104, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 116, or SFAS 116. Revenue sources consist of government grants, government contracts and commercial development contracts.

Revenues from government grants and contracts are for research and development purposes and are recognized in accordance with the terms of the award and the government agency per SAB 104. Grant revenue is recognized in one of two different ways depending on the grant. Cost reimbursement grants require us to submit proof of costs incurred that are invoiced by us to the government agency, which then pays the invoice. In this case, grant revenue is recognized at the time of submitting the invoice to the government agency. Fixed cost grants require no proof of costs and are paid as a request for payment is submitted for expenses. The grant revenue under these fixed costs grants is recognized using a percentage-of-completion method, which uses assumptions and estimates. These assumptions and estimates are developed in coordination with the principal investigator performing the work under the government fixed-cost grants to determine key milestones, expenses incurred, and deliverables to perform a percentage-of-completion analysis to ensure that revenue is appropriately recognized. Critical estimates involved in this process include total costs incurred and anticipated to be incurred during the remaining life of the grant.

Government contract revenue is recognized periodically upon delivery of an invoice for allowable R&D expenses according to the terms of the contract. The Company has recognized grant revenue from the following agencies: the Department of Defense (DoD), the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), the U.S. Army (DARPA), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The Company recognizes revenue related to the funds received in 2007 from the State of New York under the sponsored research agreement with the Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) in accordance with SFAS 116. The principles of SFAS 116 result in the recognition of revenue as allowable costs are incurred. The Company recognizes revenue on research laboratory services and the purchase and subsequent use of related equipment. The amount paid as a payment toward future services related to the equipment is recognized as a prepaid asset and will be recognized as revenue as the services are performed and the prepaid asset is recognized as expense.

Commercial development revenues are recognized when the service or development is delivered.

Deferred Revenue - Deferred revenue results when payment is received in advance of revenue being earned. The Company makes a determination as to whether the revenue has been earned by applying a percentage-of-completion analysis to compute the need to recognize deferred revenue. The percentage of completion method is based upon (1) the total income projected for the project at the time of completion and (2) the expenses incurred to date. The percentage-of-completion can be measured using the proportion of costs incurred versus the total estimated cost to complete the contract.

The Company received $2,000,000 in funds from the State of New York through the Roswell Park Cancer Institute during the second quarter of 2007. The Company received an additional $1,000,000 in funds from the State of New York through the Roswell Park Cancer Institute during the second quarter of 2008. The Company is recognizing this revenue over the terms and conditions of the sponsored research agreement. The Company recognizes revenue on research laboratory services and the purchase and subsequent use of related equipment. The amount paid as a payment toward future services related to the equipment is recognized as a prepaid asset and will be recognized as revenue as the services are performed and the prepaid asset is recognized as expense. For the six-months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized $154,711 as revenue resulting in a balance of deferred revenue of $2,515,898 at June 30, 2008. At December 31, 2007, the balance in deferred revenue was $1,670,610.

Research and Development - Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with salaries and related expenses for personnel, costs of materials used in R&D, costs of facilities and costs incurred in connection with third-party collaboration efforts. Expenditures relating to research and development are expensed as incurred.

2006 Equity Incentive Plan - On May 26, 2006, the Company's Board of Directors adopted the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”) to attract and retain persons eligible to participate in the Plan, motivate participants to achieve long-term Company goals, and further align participants' interests with those of the Company's other stockholders. The Plan expires on May 26, 2016 and the aggregate number of shares of stock which may be delivered under the Plan shall not exceed 2,000,000 shares. On February 14, 2007, these 2,000,000 shares were registered with the SEC by filing a Form S-8 registration statement. On April 29, 2008, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment and restatement of the Plan (the “Amended Plan”). The Amended Plan increases the number of shares available for issuance by an additional 2,000,000 shares, clarifies other aspects of the 2006 Plan, and contains updates that reflect changes and developments in federal tax laws. For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, there were 194,976 stock options and 25,000 shares granted under the Amended Plan, and as of June 30, 2008 there were 1,619,924 stock options and 335,000 shares granted under the Amended Plan leaving 2,045,076 shares of stock to be awarded under the Amended Plan.

Stock-Based Compensation - The FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R) (revised December 2004), Share Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. The Company values employee stock-based compensation under the provisions of SFAS 123(R) and related interpretations.

The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the grant date. The Black Scholes model is used for standard stock options, but if market conditions are present within the stock options, the Company utilizes Monte Carlo simulation to value the stock options. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect the Company's experience. The Company uses a risk-free rate published by the St. Louis Federal Reserve at the time of the option grant, assumes a forfeiture rate of zero, assumes an expected dividend yield rate of zero based on the Company's intent not to issue a dividend in the foreseeable future, uses an expected life based on the safe harbor method, and computes an expected volatility based on similar high-growth, publicly-traded, biotechnology companies. In 2008, the Company began to include the use of its own stock in the volatility calculation and is layering in the volatility of the stock of the Company with that of comparable companies since there is not an adequate trading history to rely solely on the volatility of the Company. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation in net income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

The assumptions used to value these option and warrant grants using the Black-Scholes option valuation model are as follows:

	2008 YTD			2007
Risk-free interest rate		2.61-3.58	%		3.38-5.11	%
Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%
Expected life		5-6 years			2.74-6 years
Expected volatility		64.31-80.25	%		71.86-76.29	^%

During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company granted 194,976 additional stock options pursuant to stock award agreements. The Company recognized a total of $845,555 in expense related to stock options for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company granted 405,500 stock options pursuant to stock award agreements to certain employees and key consultants and recognized a total of $1,974,858 in expense related to options.

During the six-months ended June 30, 2008, the Company granted 914,924 additional stock options pursuant to stock award agreements. The Company recognized a total of $1,573,632 in expense related to stock options for the six-months ended June 30, 2008. The Company also recaptured $1,459,425 of previously recognized expense due to the stock options awarded under the 2007 Executive Compensation Plan. These options were originally expensed based on the December 31, 2007 variables, but were not issued until February 4, 2008. The change in dates resulted in a difference in valuation assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model causing a reduction in the grant date fair value. This reduction in the grant date fair value from $5.34 to $2.44 per share resulted in the recapture of $1,459,425 in expense and a net expense for options for the six-months ended June 30, 2008 of $114,207.

During the six-months ended June 30, 2007, the Company granted 525,000 stock options pursuant to stock award agreements and expensed $2,350,158 related to stock options.

The weighted average, estimated grant date fair values of stock options granted during the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $3.26 and $5.95, respectively.

The following tables summarize the stock option activity for the six-months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively.

P.	Net Loss Per Share - Basic and diluted net loss per share has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

	Quarter Ended June 30, 2008			Quarter Ended June 30, 2007			Six-Months Ended June 30, 2008			Six-Months Ended June 30, 2007

The Company has excluded all outstanding warrants and options from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because all such securities are antidilutive for all applicable periods presented.

The total number of shares excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per share, prior to application of the treasury stock method for warrants, was 3,453,268 and 3,456,768 for the periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Such securities, had they been dilutive, would have been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

The total number of shares excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per share, prior to the application of the treasury stock method for options, was 1,914,790 and 939,490 for the periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Such securities, had they been dilutive, would have been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Concentrations of Risk - Grant revenue was comprised wholly from grants and contracts issued by the federal and NY state government and accounted for 100.0% and 81.1% of total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Grant revenue accounted for 91.1% and 82.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Although the Company anticipates ongoing federal grant and contract revenue, there is no guarantee that this revenue stream will continue in the future.

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and securities available-for-sale. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company does not believe it is exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held. Additionally, the Company has established guidelines regarding diversification of its investment portfolio and maturities of investments, which are designed to meet safety and liquidity.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk - The Company has entered into a manufacturing agreement to produce one of its drug compounds and into an agreement for assay development and validation with foreign third parties and is required to make payments in the foreign currency. As a result, the Company's financial results could be affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Currently, the Company's exposure primarily exists with the Euro and the Great British Pound, or GBP. As of June 30, 2008, the Company is obligated to make payments under the agreements of 49,250 Euros and 144,323 GBP. The Company has established means to purchase forward contracts to hedge against this risk. As of June 30, 2008, the Company has not purchased any forward contracts for Euros or GBP.

Comprehensive Income/(Loss) - The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” SFAS No. 130 requires disclosure of all components of comprehensive income on an annual and interim basis. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources.

The Company has not incurred any further obligation to issue penalty shares since these issuances.

On July 20, 2006, the Company sold 1,700,000 shares of common stock in its initial public offering at $6.00 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from this offering were approximately $8,300,000. Beginning July 21, 2006, the Company’s shares were quoted on the NASDAQ Capital Market and listed on the Boston Stock Exchange under the symbols “CBLI” and “CFB” respectively. On August 28, 2007, trading of the Company’s common stock moved from the NASDAQ Capital Market to the NASDAQ Global Market. In September 2007, we ceased our listing on the Boston Stock Exchange. In connection with its initial public offering, the Company sold warrants to purchase 170,000 shares of common stock to the underwriters and their designees at a cost of $100.00. The warrants have an exercise price of $8.70 per share.

On July 20, 2006, the effective date of the Company’s initial public offering, the Company issued 92,407 shares of common stock as accumulated dividends to the Series A preferred stockholders. On the same date, all of the Company’s Series A Preferred shares automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into 3,351,219 shares of common stock and notes of the Company in the principal amount of $283,500 plus accrued interest of $29,503 automatically converted into 124,206 shares of common stock.

The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the underlying shares of common stock, although to the extent the selling stockholders exercise warrants for the underlying shares of common stock, the Company will receive the exercise price of those warrants. The registration statement was filed to satisfy registration rights that the Company had previously granted.

On November 16, 2006 the Company issued 50,000 warrants to an outside consultant. These warrants are immediately exercisable into common shares of the Company and have an exercise price of $6.00 per share and an expiration date of November 16, 2011.

The Series B Preferred have an initial conversion price of $7.00 per share, and in the event of a conversion at such conversion price, one share of Series B Preferred would convert into one share of common stock. The Series B Warrants have an exercise price of $10.36 per share, the closing bid price on the day prior to the private placement. To the extent, however, that the conversion price of the Series B Preferred or the exercise price of the Series B Warrants is reduced as a result of certain anti-dilution protections, the number of shares of common stock into which the Series B Preferred are convertible and for which the Series B Warrants are exercisable may increase.

The Company also issued to the placement agents in the private placement (the Agents), as compensation for their services, Series B Preferred, Series B Warrants, and Series C Warrants. The Agents collectively received Series B Preferred that are convertible into an aggregate of 290,298 shares of common stock, Series B Warrants that are exercisable for an aggregate of 221,172 shares of the Company’s common stock, and Series C Warrants that are exercisable for 267,074 shares of the Company’s common stock.

OVERVIEW

CBLI was incorporated in Delaware and commenced business operations in June 2003 as a development-stage, biotechnology company, with a very specific and targeted focus on radiation drug discovery. We have devoted substantially all of our resources to the identification, development and commercialization of new types of drugs for protection of normal tissues from exposure to radiation and other stresses, such as toxic chemicals and cancer treatments. CBLI’s pipeline includes products from two primary families of compounds: protectans and curaxins. We are developing protectans as drug candidates that protect healthy tissues from acute stresses such as radiation, chemotherapy and ischemia (pathologies developed as a result of blocking blood flow to a part of the body). Curaxins are being developed as anticancer agents that could act as mono-therapy drugs or in combination with other existing anticancer therapies.

On July 20, 2006, we sold 1,700,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.005 per share, in our initial public offering at a per share price of $6.00. Our common stock is currently listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “CBLI.”

Technology

Our development efforts are based on discoveries made in connection with the investigation of the cell-level process known as apoptosis. Apoptosis is a highly specific and tightly regulated form of cell death that can occur in response to external events such as exposure to radiation, toxic chemicals or internal stresses. Apoptosis is a major determinant of tissue damage caused by a variety of medical conditions including cerebral stroke, heart attack and acute renal failure. Conversely, apoptosis is also an important protective mechanism that allows the body to shed itself of defective cells, which otherwise can cause cancerous growth.

Research has demonstrated that apoptosis is sometimes suppressed naturally. For example, most cancer cells develop resistance to apoptotic death caused by drugs or natural defenses of the human body. Our research is geared towards identifying the means by which apoptosis can be affected and manipulated depending on the need.

If the need is to protect healthy tissues against an external event such as exposure to radiation, we focus our research efforts on attempting to temporarily and reversibly suppress apoptosis in those healthy tissues, thereby imitating the apoptotic-resistant tendencies displayed by cancer cells. A drug with this effect would also be useful in ameliorating the toxicities of anticancer drugs and radiation that cause collateral damage to healthy tissues during cancer treatment. Because the severe toxicities of anticancer drugs and radiation often limit their dosage in cancer patients, an apoptosis suppressant drug may enable a more aggressive treatment regimen using anticancer drugs and radiation and thereby increase their effectiveness.

On the other hand, if the need is to destroy cancerous cells, we focus our research efforts on restoring apoptotic mechanisms that are suppressed in tumors, so that those cancerous cells will once again become vulnerable to apoptotic death. In this regard, we believe that our drug candidates could have significant potential for improving, and becoming vital to, the treatment of cancer patients.

We have acquired rights to develop and commercialize the following prospective drugs:

Protectans - modified factors of microbes and tumors that protect cells from apoptosis, and which therefore have a broad spectrum of potential applications. The potential applications include both non-medical applications such as protection from exposure to radiation, whether as a result of military or terrorist action or as a result of a nuclear accident, as well as medical applications such as reducing cancer treatment toxicities.

Curaxins - small molecules designed to kill tumor cells by simultaneously targeting two regulators of apoptosis. Initial test results indicate that curaxins can be effective against a number of malignancies, including renal cell carcinoma, or RCC (a highly fatal form of kidney cancer), soft-tissue sarcoma, and hormone-refractory prostate cancer.

In the area of radiation protection, we have achieved high levels of protection in animal models. With respect to cancer treatment, the biology of cancer is such that there is no single drug that can be successfully used to treat 100% or even 50% of all cancer patients. This means that there likely will be a need for additional anticancer drugs for each type of cancer.

These drug candidates demonstrate the value of our scientific foundation. Based on the expedited approval process currently available for non-medical applications such as protection from exposure to radiation, our most advanced drug candidate, Protectan CBLB502, may be approved for such applications within 24 to 36 months. Another drug candidate, Curaxin CBLC102, entered Phase IIa clinical trials earlier last year. The results of this trial are anticipated to be available in the fourth quarter of 2008.

STRATEGIES AND OBJECTIVES

Our primary objective is to become a leading developer of drugs for the protection of human tissues against radiation and other stresses and for cancer treatment. Key elements of our strategy include:

Aggressively working towards the commercialization of Protectan CBLB502. Our most advanced drug candidate, Protectan CBLB502, offers the potential to protect normal tissues against exposure to radiation. Because of the potential military and defense implications of such a drug, the normally lengthy FDA approval process for these non-medical applications is substantially abbreviated resulting in a large cost savings to us. We anticipate having a developed drug submitted for FDA approval for these non-medical applications within 18-30 months.

Leveraging our relationship with leading research and clinical development institutions. The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, one of the top research medical facilities in the world, is one of our co-founders. In addition to providing us with drug leads and technologies, the Cleveland Clinic will share valuable expertise with us as clinical trials are performed on our drug candidates. In January 2007, we entered into a strategic research partnership with Roswell Park Cancer Institute, or RPCI, in Buffalo, New York. This partnership will enhance the speed and efficiency of our clinical research and provide us with access to the state-of-the-art clinical development facilities of a globally recognized cancer research center.

Utilizing governmental initiatives to target our markets and help fund our programs. Our focus on drug candidates such as Protectan CBLB502, which has applications that have been deemed useful for military and defense purposes, provides us with a built-in market for our drug candidates, as well as an additional resource for funding. This enables us to invest less in costly retail and marketing resources. In an effort to improve our responsiveness to military and defense needs, we have established a collaborative relationship with the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute.

Utilizing other strategic relationships. We have collaborative relationships with other leading organizations that enhance our drug development and marketing efforts. For example, one of our founders, with whom we maintain a strategic partnership, is ChemBridge Corporation. Known for its medicinal chemistry expertise and synthetic capabilities, ChemBridge provides valuable resources to our drug development research.

PRODUCTS IN DEVELOPMENT

Protectans

We are exploring a new natural source of factors that suppress the programmed cell death (apoptosis) response in human cells, which can be rapidly developed into therapeutic products. These inhibitors are anti-apoptotic factors developed by microorganisms of human microflora throughout millions of years of co-evolution with mammalian host. We are using the same strategy that was applied for the discovery of antibiotics, one of the biggest medical achievements of the 20^th century. We have established a technological process for screening of such factors, named protectans, and their rapid preclinical evaluation. These inhibitors can be used as protection from cancer treatment toxicities and antidotes against injuries induced by radiation and other stresses associated with severe pathologies (i.e., heart attack or stroke).

Ten families of patents have been filed over the past five years around various aspects and qualities of the protectan family of compounds. The first of these patents was recently granted by the Eurasian Patent Organization and two other countries totaling eleven overall. The issued patent covers the method of protecting a mammal from radiation using flagellin or its derivatives, including Protectan CBLB502.

Protectan CBLB502

Protectan CBLB502 is our leading radioprotectant molecule in the protectans series. Protectan CBLB502 represents a rationally-designed derivative of the microbial protein, flagellin. Flagellin is secreted by Salmonella typhimurium and many other Gram-negative bacteria, and in nature, arranges itself in a hollow cylinder to form the filament in bacterial flagellum and acts as a natural activator of NF-kB (nuclear factor-kappa B), a protein complex widely used by cells as a regulator of genes that control cell proliferation and cell survival. Thus, Protectan CBLB502 reduces injury from acute stresses by mobilizing several natural cell protective mechanisms, including inhibition of apoptosis, reduction of oxidative damage and induction of factors (cytokines) that induce protection and regeneration of stem cells in bone marrow and the intestines.

Protectan CBLB502 is a single agent anti-radiation therapy with significant survival benefits at a single dose. Animal studies indicate that Protectan CBLB502 protects mice without increasing the risk of radiation-induced cancer development. The remarkably strong radioprotective abilities of Protectan CBLB502 are the result of a combination of several mechanisms of action. Potential applications for Protectan CBLB502 include reduction of radiation therapy or chemotherapy toxicities in cancer patients, protection from Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS) in defense scenarios, and protection from acute organ failure. Protectan CBLB502 is administered through intramuscular injection.

Non-medical Applications

Our scientists have demonstrated that injecting Protectan CBLB502 into mice, rats and non-human primates protects them from lethal doses of total body gamma radiation. An important advantage of Protectan CBLB502, above any other radioprotectant known to us, is the ability to effectively protect not only the hematopoietic system, but also the gastrointestinal, or GI, tract, which are among the most sensitive areas of the human body to radiation. High levels of radiation, among other effects, induce moderate to severe bone marrow damage. The immune and blood stem cells are also depleted and death is caused by anemia, infection, bleeding and poor wound healing. GI damage often occurs at higher doses of radiation, and may result in death through sepsis as a result of perforation of the gastrointestinal tract. Protectan CBLB502’s ability to effectively protect the hematopoietic system and GI tract may make Protectan CBLB502 uniquely useful as a radioprotective antidote. Protectan CBLB502 was shown to be safe at its therapeutic doses in rodents and non-human primates. In addition, Protectan CBLB502 has proved to be a stable compound for storage purposes. It can be stored at temperatures close to freezing, room temperature or extreme heat. Manufacturing of Protectan CBLB502 is relatively inexpensive, due to its high yield bacterial producing strain and simple purification process.

We have successfully established cGMP quality manufacturing for Protectan CBLB502 and plan to initiate the first of two Phase I human safety studies for Protectan CBLB502 in ARS. Protectan CBLB502 is being developed under the FDA's animal efficacy rule to treat radiation injury following exposure to radiation from nuclear or radiological weapons, or from nuclear accident. This approval pathway requires demonstration of efficacy in two animal species and safety and drug metabolism testing in a representative sample of healthy human volunteers. Protectan CBLB502 has demonstrated activity as a radioprotectant in several animal species, including non-human primates. Phase I is the only stage of human testing required for approval in this indication.

The first dose escalation human safety study will start in the third quarter of 2008 now that the FDA has allowed our IND application and given us permission to start testing on humans. The initial safety study will involve single injections of Protectan CBLB502 in ascending dose groups of six healthy volunteers each. Participants in the study will be assessed for adverse side effects over a two-week time period and blood samples will be obtained to assess the effects of Protectan CBLB502 on various biomarkers. The study is currently projected to take approximately six months to complete. The second safety study in a larger number of healthy volunteers is planned to start in the first half of 2009.

We are working towards filing a Biologic License Application for FDA approval of Protectan CBLB502 for non-medical applications in 18 months.

In March 2008, the U.S. Department of Defense, or DoD, awarded us a contract valued at up to $8.9 million through the Chemical Biological Medical Systems Joint Project Management Office Broad Agency Announcement, or BAA, for selected tasks in the advanced development of Protectan CBLB502 as a Medical Radiation Countermeasure to treat radiation injury following exposure to radiation from nuclear or radiological weapons.

We also recently submitted a proposal for the BAA for "Therapies for Hematopoietic Syndrome, Bone Marrow Stromal Cell Loss, and Vascular Injury Resulting from Acute Exposure to Ionizing Radiation" published on March 6, 2008, by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). BARDA seeks to acquire developed medical countermeasures that will be clinically useful in a civilian medical emergency situation that results from or involves exposure of a large population to the effects of a nuclear detonation, a radiologic dispersive device (such as a dirty bomb), or exposure to radioactive material with or without combined injury or trauma. Among certain other criteria, the BAA specified that any medical countermeasures submitted must be efficacious when administered at or later than 24 hours after exposure. According to the BAA, it is anticipated that multiple awards will result from the announcement and those awards will be multi-year, cost-reimbursement, completion type contracts. BARDA anticipates awarding 5-6 contracts on or about September 16, 2008. BARDA estimates that the total cost (direct and indirect cost combined) for these contracts (estimate to be 3 years in duration) will be up to $13.5 million per contract, out of which up to $3.4 million will be available in the first year of the contract.

Protectan CBLB502 is a candidate for procurement by the DoD, HHS/BARDA and other countries facing even more imminent threats. The HHS opportunity substantially expands the potential market, as its mandate is to protect the U.S. civilian population in the event of a radiological emergency, involving stockpiling of radiation countermeasures for mass distribution. Our recent contract award from the DoD and the solicitation from BARDA emphasize the government’s focus on acquiring adequate protection against nuclear and radiation threats for military and civilian populations. Upon FDA approval, our Protectan CBLB502 will be well positioned to fulfill both of these needs, with its demonstrated unprecedented efficacy and survival benefits, unique ability to address both hematopoietic and gastrointestinal damage, broad window of efficacy relative to radiation exposure, and suitability for both military and civilian delivery scenarios. We believe that Protectan CBLB502 is the only radiation countermeasure with these capabilities in advanced development that can be self or buddy-administered, without the need of additional supportive care in a battlefield or civilian community setting.

Medical Applications

In addition to its military or other non-medical applications, we have found that Protectan CBLB502 has been observed to dramatically increase the efficacy of radiotherapy on experimental tumors in mice. Protectan CBLB502 appears to increase the tolerance of mice to radiation while having no effect on the radiosensitivity of tumors, thus opening the possibility of combining radiotherapy with Protectan CBLB502 treatment to improve the overall anticancer efficacy of radiotherapy. Our animal efficacy studies have demonstrated that up to 100% of mice treated with Protectan CBLB502 prior to being exposed to radiation survived without any associated signs of toxicity. This compares to a 100% mortality rate in the animal group that received a placebo drug.

Protectan CBLB502 has demonstrated the ability to reduce the toxicities of a chemotherapeutic drug, Platinol (cisplatin), broadly used for the treatment of ovarian, endometrial, head and neck, lung, stomach and other types of cancer in animal models. Platinol treatment was used in the study as an example of chemotherapy-associated toxicity. Platinol injected at toxic doses is known to induce myelosuppression (suppression of bone marrow) and nephrotoxicity (kidney damage).

The prospect of increasing patients' tolerance to chemotherapeutic drugs and optimizing treatment regimens would be a significant paradigm shift in cancer treatment. It is estimated that approximately 40% of the roughly $50 billion annually spent on cancer treatment represents supportive care addressing toxicities of various treatments, including chemotherapy.

Consistent with this strategy, we plan to initiate a Phase I/II study for Protectan CBLB502 in head and neck cancer patients in early 2009. The endpoint of the study will be the reduction of toxicities of radiation and chemotherapy, such as mucositis (a painful inflammation and ulceration of oral mucosa causing difficulties with speaking and eating). Mucositis weakens the patient by not allowing for the oral intake of nutrients and fluids and forces the temporary suspension of radiotherapy and chemotherapy until the tissues of the mouth and throat have healed. Due to the ability of head and neck cancer cells to regrow during periods of interrupted treatment, any interruption in radiotherapy should be avoided. Since the main cause of treatment interruptions in radiotherapy or combinations of chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment regimens of head and neck cancer is acute mucositis, the ability to prevent mucositis, and therefore, interruptions in treatment, could potentially result in better outcomes for patients with cancers of the head and neck.

In other studies, we have demonstrated the potential of Protectan CBLB502 to be applicable to ischemic conditions. Our researchers, in collaboration with investigators from Cleveland Clinic, have demonstrated that a single injection of Protectan CBLB502 effectively prevents acute renal failure and subsequent death in a mouse model of ischemia-reperfusion renal injury.

Moreover, recent studies conducted at the Cleveland Clinic have demonstrated Protectan CBLB502’s ability to accelerate limb recovery in an animal model of tourniquet-mediated injury simulating the situation occurring in human. It has been demonstrated that injection of Protectan CBLB502 within 30 minutes of tourniquet removal leads to a marked reduction in the severity of injury, including reductions in tissue edema, pro-inflammatory cytokine production and leukocyte infiltration leading to accelerated recovery of limb function.

In contrast to the non-medical applications of CBLB502, the use of Protectan CBLB502 to ameliorate the toxicities of radiation treatment and anticancer drugs will be subject to the full FDA approval process.

Protectan CBLB612

Protectan CBLB612 is a modified lipopeptide mycoplasma that acts as a powerful stimulator and mobilizer of hematopoietic (bone marrow/blood production) stem cells, or HSC, to peripheral blood. Potential applications for Protectan CBLB612 include accelerated hematopoietic recovery during chemotherapy and during donor preparation for bone marrow transplantation.

Our research indicates that Protectan CBLB612 is not only a potent stimulator of bone marrow stem cells, but also causes their mobilization and proliferation throughout the blood. A single administration of Protectan CBLB612 resulted in a three-fold increase in the number of progenitor stem cells in mouse bone marrow within 24 hours after administration. Furthermore, the number of these stem cells in peripheral blood was increased ten-fold within four days of administration.

Protectan CBLB612 was also found to be highly efficacious in stimulating proliferation and mobilization of HSC into peripheral blood in primate model (Rhesus macaques). A single injection of CBLB612 in Rhesus macaques resulted in a 20-fold increase of hematopoietic progenitor cells in blood. At the peak of the effect (48-72 hours post-injection) the proportion of free-floating CD34+ cells in the total white blood cell count reached 30% (compared with 1.5% in normal blood). CD34 is a molecule present on certain cells within the human body. Cells expressing CD34, otherwise known as CD34+ cells, are normally found in the umbilical cord and bone marrow as hematopoetic cells.

This discovery opens a new and innovative way for us to address a broad spectrum of human diseases, some of which currently lack effective treatment. Direct comparisons of Protectan CBLB612 and G-CSF (Neupogen®, Amgen, Inc., Thousand Oaks, California), the market leading drug used for stimulation of blood regeneration, demonstrated that Protectan CBLB612 showed a stronger efficacy as a propagator and mobilizer of HSC in peripheral blood. In mice experimental models, a single injection of Protectan CBLB612 gave several times higher yields of HSC in peripheral blood that the standard course of G-CSF treatment.

Protectan CBLB612 also has been shown to provide protection in a mouse model from lethal hematopoietic-induced ARS when administered between 48 hours prior and 24 hours after radiation exposure. Protectan CBLB612 does not display any significant toxicity at its therapeutic doses in rodents and non-human primates.

With efficacy and non-GLP safety already studied in mice and monkeys, Protectan CBLB612 entered formal pre-clinical safety and manufacturing development in February 2008. We expect to file an IND application with the FDA in the first half of 2009. The development of our Protectan CBLB612 has been supported by a grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency of the Department of Defense.

Curaxins

Curaxins are small molecules that destroy tumor cells by simultaneously targeting two regulators of apoptosis. Our initial test results indicate that curaxins can be effective against a number of malignancies, including renal cell carcinoma, or RCC, soft-tissue sarcoma, and hormone-refractory prostate cancer.

The original focus of our drug development program was to develop drugs to treat one of the most treatment-resistant types of cancer, RCC. Unlike many cancer types that frequently mutate or delete p53, one of the major tumor suppressor genes, RCC belongs to a rare category of cancers that typically maintain a wild type form of this protein. Nevertheless, RCC cells are resistant to apoptosis, suggesting that in spite of its normal structure, p53 is functionally disabled. The work of our founders has shown that p53 function is indeed inhibited in RCC by an unknown dominant factor. We have established a drug discovery program to identify small molecules that selectively destroy tumor cells by restoring the normal function to functionally impaired p53 in RCC. This program yielded a series of chemicals with the desirable properties named curaxins (CBLC100 series). We have isolated three chemical classes of curaxins. One of them includes relatives of 9-aminoacridine, the compound that is the core structure of many existing drugs. Pre-existing information about this compound has allowed us to bypass the preclinical development and Phase I studies and bring one of our drug candidates into Phase IIa clinical trials, saving years of R&D efforts and improving the probability of success.

One of the most important outcomes of this drug discovery program was the identification of the mechanism by which curaxins deactivate NF-kB. This mechanism of action makes curaxins potent inhibitors of the production and the activity of NF-kB not only in its stimulated form, but also in its basal form. The level of active NF-kB is usually also increased in cancer cells. Moreover, due to curaxin-dependent functional conversion of NF-kB-DNA complexes, the cells with the highest basal or induced NF-kB activity are supposed to be the most significantly affected by curaxins. Clearly, this paradoxical activity makes deactivation of NF-kB by curaxins more advantageous compared to conventional strategies targeting NF-kB activators.

The discovery of the mechanism of action of curaxins allowed us to predict and later experimentally verify that curaxins could be used for treatment of multiple forms of cancers, including hormone-refractory prostate cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, multiple myeloma, acute lymphocytic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, soft-tissue sarcomas and several others.

Curaxin CBLC102

One of the curaxins from the 9-aminoacridine group is a long-known, anti-infective compound known as quinacrine, which we refer to as Curaxin CBLC102. It has been used for over 40 years to treat malaria, osteoarthritis and autoimmune disorders. However, we have discovered new mechanisms of action for quinacrine in the area of apoptosis. Through assay testing performed at Dr. Andrei Gudkov’s laboratories at the Cleveland Clinic beginning in 2002, which included testing in a variety of human tumor-derived cell lines representing cancers of different tissue origin (including RCC, sarcomas, prostate, breast and colon carcinomas), we have observed that Curaxin CBLC102 behaves as a potent NF-kB suppressor and activator of p53 in these types of cancer cells. It has favorable pharmacological and toxicological profiles and demonstrates the anticancer effect in transplants of human cancer cells into primates. These features make Curaxin CBLC102 our prime IND drug candidate among other curaxins.

We have applied for a patent covering the use of Curaxin CBLC102 as an anticancer agent based on a newly-discovered mechanism of action. We have an agreement with Regis Technologies, Inc., a GMP manufacturer, to produce sufficient quantities of Curaxin CBLC102 according to the process previously used for the production of this drug when it was in common use.

A Phase II efficacy clinical trial using Curaxin CBLC102 in patients with advanced hormone-refractory (androgen-independent) prostate cancer started in January 2007 at the University of Chicago, Cleveland Clinic, University of Pittsburgh and Case Western Reserve University Hospitals. We are applying CBLC102 as the monotherapy to patients who have failed to respond satisfactorily after undergoing established cancer treatments and will use the suppression of tumor growth and prolonged patient survival as major endpoints. Reducing the prostate-specific antigen, or PSA, level is an additional endpoint (elevated PSA levels are indicative of the progression of prostate cancer).

The planned enrollment of 32 patients was completed on April 29, 2008. The results of this trial are anticipated to be available in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Other Curaxins

As mentioned above, screening of the chemical library for compounds capable of restoring normal function to wild type p53 in the context of RCC yielded three chemical classes of compounds. Generation of focused chemical libraries around the hits from one of these classes and their structure-activity optimization brought about a new generation of curaxins. As the part of this program performed in the partnership with ChemBridge Corporation, more than 800 proprietary compounds were screened for p53 activation, efficacy in animal tumor models, selective toxicity and metabolic stability in the presence of rat and human microsomes. The most active compounds were efficacious in preventing tumor growth in models for colon carcinoma, melanoma, ovarian cancer, RCC, and breast cancer. In February 2008, three lead candidates were chosen for preclinical development based on their efficacy, low toxicity profiles, high stability and suitability for human administration. We expect to file an IND application with the FDA in 2009 for one of these three lead candidates.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

We were incorporated in Delaware and commenced business operations in June 2003. Beginning July 21, 2006, our common stock was listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market and on the Boston Stock Exchange under the symbols “CBLI” and “CFB” respectively. On August 28, 2007, trading of our stock moved from the NASDAQ Capital Market to the NASDAQ Global Market. In September 2007, we ceased our listing on the Boston Stock Exchange.

On March 16, 2007, we consummated a transaction with various accredited investors pursuant to which we agreed to sell to the investors, in a private placement, an aggregate of approximately 4,288,712 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.005 per share, and Series B Warrants to purchase approximately 2,144,356 shares of our common stock pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement of the same date. The aggregate purchase price paid by the investors for the Series B Preferred and Series B Warrants was approximately $30,000,000. After related fees and expenses, we received net proceeds of approximately $29,000,000. We intend to use the proceeds for general corporate and working capital purposes.

The Series B Preferred have an initial conversion price of $7.00 per share, and in the event of a conversion at such conversion price, one share of Series B Preferred would convert into one share of common stock. Based on the closing price of our common stock on March 16, 2007 of $10.19, the Series B Preferred sold to investors and issued to certain of the Agents had a market value of $46,660,112. The Series B Warrants have an exercise price of $10.36 per share, the closing bid price on the day prior to the private placement. To the extent, however, that the conversion price of the Series B Preferred or the exercise price of the Series B Warrants is reduced as a result of certain anti-dilution protections, the number of shares of common stock into which the Series B Preferred are convertible and for which the Series B Warrants are exercisable may increase.

We also issued to the placement agents in the private placement, as compensation for their services, Series B Preferred, Series B Warrants, and Series C Warrants. The agents collectively received Series B Preferred that are convertible into an aggregate of 290,298 shares of common stock, Series B Warrants that are exercisable for an aggregate of 221,172 shares of our common stock, and Series C Warrants that are exercisable for 267,074 shares of our common stock. The Series C Warrants have an exercise price of $11.00 per share, and are also subject to antidilution protections that could increase the number of shares of common stock for which they are exercisable.

In total, the securities issued in the private placement were convertible into, or exercisable for, up to approximately 7,211,612 shares of common stock (subject to adjustments for stock splits, anti-dilution, etc.). As of June 30, 2008 the securities issued in the transaction, in the aggregate, were convertible into or exercisable for approximately 5,948,575 shares of common stock (subject to adjustments for stock splits, anti-dilution, etc.).

Proceeds from these transactions, together with grants we have received, have supported our R&D activities to date. We are actively seeking new grants and co-development contacts with premier pharmaceutical partners to support further development of other promising leads resulting from our R&D program.

On December 11, 2007, the SEC declared effective a registration statement of the Company registering up to 5,514,999 shares of common stock for resale from time to time by the selling stockholders named in the prospectus contained in the registration statement. This number represents 5,514,999 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion or exercise of the securities issued the Company’s March 2007 private placement at the current conversion and exercise prices. Of these 5,514,999 shares of common stock, 3,717,515 shares are issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred and 1,797,484 shares are issuable upon exercise of the Series B Warrants. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the underlying shares of common stock, although to the extent the selling stockholders exercise warrants for the underlying shares of common stock, we will receive the exercise price of those warrants. Subsequent to the effectiveness of the registration statement, 1,263,037 Series B Preferred were converted and $732,453 in dividends earned were paid as of June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2008 there were 3,315,973 remaining outstanding Series B Preferred shares for which $305,251 in dividends had been accrued.

Critical Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates

Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and other reported disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances.

Note 2 to our financial statements includes disclosure of our significant accounting policies. While all decisions regarding accounting policies are important, we believe that our policies regarding revenue recognition, R&D expenses, intellectual property related costs and stock-based compensation expense could be considered critical.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 116, or SFAS 116. Our revenue sources consist of government grants, government contracts and a commercial development contract.

Grant revenue is recognized using two different methods depending on the type of grant. Cost reimbursement grants require us to submit proof of costs incurred that are invoiced by us to the government agency, which then pays the invoice. In this case, grant revenue is recognized at the time of submitting the invoice to the government agency.

Fixed-cost grants require no proof of costs and are paid as a request for payment is submitted for expenses. The grant revenue under these fixed cost grants is recognized using a percentage-of-completion method, which uses assumptions and estimates. These assumptions and estimates are developed in coordination with the principal investigator performing the work under the government fixed-cost grants to determine key milestones, expenses incurred, and deliverables to perform a percentage-of-completion analysis to ensure that revenue is appropriately recognized. Critical estimates involved in this process include total costs incurred and anticipated to be incurred during the remaining life of the grant.

We recognize revenue related to the funds received in 2007 from the State of New York under the sponsored research agreement with the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in accordance with SFAS 116. The principles of SFAS 116 result in the recognition of revenue as allowable costs are incurred. The Company recognizes revenue on research laboratory services and the purchase and subsequent use of related equipment. The amount paid as a payment toward future services related to the equipment is recognized as a prepaid asset and will be recognized as revenue as the services are performed and the prepaid asset is recognized as expense.

Government contract revenue is recognized periodically upon delivery of an invoice for allowable R&D expenses according to the terms of the contract. Commercial development revenues are recognized when the service or development is delivered.

R&D Expenses

R&D costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses consist primarily of our proprietary R&D efforts, including salaries and related expenses for personnel, costs of materials used in our R&D, costs of facilities and costs incurred in connection with our third-party collaboration efforts. Pre-approved milestone payments made by us to third parties under contracted R&D arrangements are expensed when the specific milestone has been achieved. As of June 30, 2008, $50,000 has been paid for milestone payments relating to the filing of an IND with the FDA for Curaxin CBLC102 and $250,000 has been paid as a result of commencing Phase II clinical trials for Curaxin CBLC102. An additional $50,000 has been accrued for a milestone payment relating to the filing of an IND with the FDA for Protectan CBLB502. Once a drug receives regulatory approval, we will record any subsequent milestone payments in identifiable intangible assets, less accumulated amortization, and amortize them evenly over the remaining agreement term or the expected drug life cycle, whichever is shorter. We expect our R&D expenses to increase as we continue to develop our drug candidates.

Intellectual Property Related Costs

We capitalize costs associated with the preparation, filing and maintenance of our intellectual property rights. Capitalized intellectual property is reviewed annually for impairment. If a patent application is approved, costs paid by us associated with the preparation, filing and maintenance of the patent will be amortized on a straight line basis over the shorter of 17 years or the anticipated useful life of the patent. If the patent application is not approved, costs paid by us associated with the preparation, filing and maintenance of the patent will be expensed as part of selling, general and administrative expenses at that time.

Through December 31, 2007, we have capitalized $459,102 in expenditures associated with the preparation, filing and maintenance of certain of our patents, which were incurred through the year ended December 31, 2007. We capitalized an additional $219,981 relating to these costs incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2008, totaling $679,083.

Stock-based Compensation

We value stock-based compensation pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Accordingly, effective January 1, 2005, all stock-based compensation, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123(R) requiring all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the statement of operations based at their fair values. The Company values employee stock-based compensation under the provisions of SFAS 123(R) and related interpretations.

The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the grant date using accepted valuation techniques such as the Black Scholes Option Valuation model or Monte Carlo Simulation depending on the terms and conditions present within the specific option being valued. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect our experience. We use a risk-free rate based on published rates from the St. Louis Federal Reserve at the time of the option grant; assume a forfeiture rate of zero; assume an expected dividend yield rate of zero based on our intent not to issue a dividend in the foreseeable future; use an expected life based on the safe harbor method; and presently compute an expected volatility based on a method layering in the volatility of the Company along with that of similar high-growth, publicly-traded, biotechnology companies due to the limited trading history of the Company. Compensation expense is recognized using the straight-line amortization method for all stock-based awards.

During the six-months ended June 30, 2008, the Company granted 914,924 additional stock options pursuant to stock award agreements. The Company recognized a total of $1,573,632 in expense related to options for the six-months ended June 30, 2008. The Company also recaptured $1,459,425 of previously recognized expense due to the stock options awarded under the 2007 Executive Compensation Plan. These options were originally expensed based on the December 31, 2007 variables, but were not issued until February 4, 2008. The change in dates resulted in a difference in valuation assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model causing a reduction in the grant date fair value. This reduction in the grant date fair value from $5.34 to $2.44 per share resulted in the recapture of $1,459,425 in expense and a net expense for options for the six-months ended June 30, 2008 of $114,207.

During the six-months ended June 30, 2007, the Company granted 525,000 stock options pursuant to stock award agreements and expensed $2,350,158 related to stock options.

For the six-months ended June 30, 2008 the Company also recognized a total of $563,200 in expense for shares issued under the Plan and a total of $93,525 in expense related to the amortization of restricted shares. For the six-months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recognized a total of $1,541,300 in expense for shares issued under the Plan to various consultants.

During the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, the Company granted 194,976 and 405,500 additional stock options pursuant to stock award agreements, respectively. We recognized a total of $845,555 and $1,974,858 in expense related to options for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively. The weighted average, estimated grant date fair values of stock options granted during the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $3.26 and 5.95, respectively.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities and expands disclosure with respect to fair value measurement. This statement was originally effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position FSP 157-2 which allows companies to elect a one year deferral of adoption of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair values in the financial statements on a non-recurring basis. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 157 as of January 1, 2008. There has been no material impact to our financial statements due to the adoptions of SFAS No. 157.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161. “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No.161 will not affect our consolidated financial condition and results of operations, but may require additional disclosures if we enter into derivative and hedging activities.

Results of Operations

Our operating results for the past three fiscal years have been nominal. The following table sets forth our statement of operations data for the quarter and six-months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, and the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this filing and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2007

Revenue

Revenue increased from $636,007 for the three-months ended June 30, 2007 to $674,376 for the three-months ended June 30, 2008 representing an increase of $38,369 or 6.0% resulting primarily from an increase in revenue from various federal grants and contracts including the Collaborative Research Agreement with the Roswell Park Cancer Institute and contracts with federal government agencies.

See the table below for further details regarding the sources of our government grant and contract revenue:

We anticipate our revenue over the next year to be derived mainly from government grants and contracts. In addition, it is common in our industry for companies to enter into licensing agreements with large pharmaceutical companies. To the extent we enter into such licensing arrangements, we may receive additional revenue from licensing fees.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses have historically consisted of costs relating to R&D and general and administrative expenses. R&D expenses have consisted mainly of supporting our R&D teams, process development, sponsored research at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute and Cleveland Clinic, clinical trials and consulting fees. General and administrative expenses include all corporate and administrative functions that serve to support our current and future operations while also providing an infrastructure to support future growth. Major items in this category include management and staff salaries, rent/leases, professional services and travel-related expenses. We anticipate these expenses to increase as a result of increased legal and accounting fees anticipated in connection with our compliance with ongoing reporting and accounting requirements of the SEC and the expansion of our business.

Operating expenses decreased from $8,748,968 for the three-months ended June 30, 2007 to $4,675,239 for the three-months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $4,073,729 or 46.5%. We recognized a total of $1,029,358 of non-cash, stock-based compensation for the three-months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $3,516,158 for the three-months ended June 30, 2007. If these non-cash, stock-based compensation expenses were excluded, operating expenses would have decreased from $5,232,810 for the three-months ended June 30, 2007 to $3,645,881 for the three-months ended June 30, 2008. This represents a decrease in operating expenses of $1,586,929 or 30.3%.

Research and development costs decreased from $3,966,711 for the three-months ended June 30, 2007 to $2,682,703 for the three-months ended June 30, 2008. This represents a decrease of $1,284,008 or 32.4%. We recognized a total of $168,040 of R&D non-cash, stock based compensation for the three-months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $299,112 for the three-months ended June 30, 2007. Without the non-cash, stock-based compensation, the R&D expenses decreased from $3,667,599 for the three-months ended June 30, 2007 to $2,514,663 for the three-months ended June 30, 2008; a decrease of $1,152,936 or 31.4%.

Selling, general and administrative costs decreased from $4,782,257 for the three-months ended June 30, 2007 to $1,992,536 for the three-months ended June 30, 2008. This represents a decrease of $2,789,721 or 58.3%. We recognized a total of $861,318 of non-cash, stock-based compensation under selling, general and administrative costs for the three-months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $3,217,046 for the three-months ended June 30, 2007. Without the non-cash, stock-based compensation, the selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $1,565,211 for the three-months ended June 30, 2007 to $1,131,218 for the three months ended June 30 2008; a decrease of $433,993 or 27.7%. The lower general and administrative expenses were incurred as a result of cost containment efforts on the part of the Company.

Until we introduce a product to the market, we expect these expenses in the categories mentioned above will be the largest categories in our income statement.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2007

Revenue

Revenue increased from $957,453 for the six-months ended June 30, 2007 to $1,350,700 for the six-months ended June 30, 2008 representing an increase of $393,247 or 41.1% resulting primarily from an increase in revenue from various federal grants and contracts including the Collaborative Research Agreement with the Roswell Park Cancer Institute, the DTRA contract, the NCI contract, and the DOD contract.

Without the non-cash, stock-based compensation, the selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $2,499,861 for the six-months ended June 30, 2007 to $2,619,620 for the six months ended June 30, 2008; an increase of $119,759 or 4.8%. The higher general and administrative expenses were incurred as a result of increased investor relations activities and continuing to improve the infrastructure of the Company

Until we introduce a product to the market, we expect these expenses in the categories mentioned above will be the largest categories in our income statement.

Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006

Revenue

Revenue increased from $1,708,214 for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $2,018,558 for the year ended December 31, 2007, representing an increase of $310,344 or 18.2%, resulting primarily from an increase in revenue from various grants including the sponsored research agreement with RPCI, the DTRA contract, and the NCI contract. As the term of the BioShield grant ended, the proceeds from the BioShield grant were $0 for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $1,100,293 for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Operating expenses increased from $9,126,315 for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $27,960,590 for the year ended December 31, 2007. This represents an increase of $18,834,275 or 206.4%. We recognized a total of $7,789,305 of non-cash compensation for stock based compensation for the year December 31, 2007 compared to $506,078 for the year ended December 31, 2006. If these non-cash stock based compensation expenses were excluded, operating expenses would have increased from $8,620,237 for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $20,171,285 for the year ended December 31, 2007. This represents an increase in operating expenses of $11,551,048 or 134.0%.

This increase resulted primarily from an increase in R&D expenses from $6,989,804 for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $17,429,652 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $10,439,848 or 149.4%. The higher R&D expenses were incurred as a result of increasing the number of research and development personnel, commencing clinical trials for CBLC102 and completing the cGMP manufacturing of CBLB502. We recognized a total of $250,682 of non-cash compensation for R&D stock based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $1,836,787 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Without the non-cash stock based compensation, the R&D expenses increased from $6,739,122 for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $15,592,865 for the year ended December 31, 2007; an increase of $8,853,743 or 131.4%.

In addition, general and administrative expenses increased from $2,136,511 for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $10,530,938, for the year ended December 31, 2007. This represents an increase of $8,394,427 or 392.9%. These higher general and administrative expenses were incurred as a result of creating and improving the infrastructure of the company and the costs associated with being a publicly traded company. We recognized a total of $255,396 of non-cash stock-based compensation for general and administrative compensation for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $5,952,517 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Without the non-cash stock based compensation, the general and administrative expenses increased from $1,881,115 for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $4,578,421 for the year ended December 31, 2007; an increase of $2,697,306 or 143.4%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred annual operating losses since our inception, and, as of June 30, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of $49,396,260. Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash provided by sales of our securities and government grants, contracts and agreements. Our principal uses of cash have been R&D and working capital. We expect our future sources of liquidity to be primarily government grants, equity financing, licensing fees and milestone payments in the event we enter into licensing agreements with third parties, and research collaboration fees in the event we enter into research collaborations with third parties.

Net cash used in operating activities totaled $6,943,674 for the six-months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $5,936,394 used in operating activities for the six-months ended June 30, 2007. Net cash used in operating activities totaled $16,607,922 for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $6,653,602 used in operating activities for the same period in 2006. For all periods, the increase in cash used was primarily attributable to increased R&D activities and maintaining and improving the infrastructure necessary to support these R&D activities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $348,216 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and net cash used in investing activities was $16,564,862 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in cash used in investing activities resulted primarily from a reduction in the purchase of short term investments of $17,999,965 from the funds received from the issuance of Series B Preferred in connection with our private placement offering that took place in the first quarter of 2007. Net cash used in investing activities was $442,523 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and $14,281 used for the same period in 2006. The increase in cash used for investing activities resulted primarily from the maturing of short-term investments that converted to cash.

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $667,828 for the six-months ended June 30, 2008, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $29,026,743 for the six-months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was attributed to the payment of dividends in the first six months of 2008 as compared to the proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock and warrants in the private placement offering which occurred during the first six months of 2007. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $28,200,591 for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $8,523,414 provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was attributed to the proceeds from the issuance of Series B Preferred in connection with our private placement offering.

Under our exclusive license agreement with CCF, we may be responsible for making milestone payments to CCF in amounts ranging from $50,000 to $4,000,000. The milestones and corresponding payments for Protectan CBLB502 and Curaxin CBLC102 are set forth below:

File IND application for Protectan CBLB502 (completed February 2008)	$	50,000
Complete Phase I studies for Protectan CBLB502	$	100,000
File NDA application for Protectan CBLB502	$	350,000
Receive regulatory approval to sell Protectan CBLB502	$	1,000,000
File IND application for Curaxin CBLC102 (completed May 2006)	$	50,000
Commence Phase II clinical trials for Curaxin CBLC102 (completed January 2007)	$	250,000
Commence Phase III clinical trials for Curaxin CBLC102	$	700,000
File NDA application for Curaxin CBLC102	$	1,500,000
Receive regulatory approval to sell Curaxin CBLC102	$	4,000,000

As of June 30, 2008, we have paid $50,000 for the milestone payment relating to the filing of the IND application for Curaxin CBLC102 and $250,000 for commencing Phase II clinical trials for Curaxin CBLC102. The $50,000 milestone payment was made May 3, 2007 and the $250,000 milestone was paid on August 21, 2007 as per the terms of the agreement. In addition, the Company has accrued an additional $50,000 related to the filing of an IND application related to Protectan CBLB502 that occurred in February 2008.

Our agreement with the CCF also provides for payment by us to CCF of royalty payments calculated as a percentage of the net sales of the drug candidates ranging from 1-2%, and sublicense royalty payments calculated as a percentage of the royalties received from the sublicenses ranging from 5-35%. However, any royalty payments and sublicense royalty payments assume that we will be able to commercialize our drug candidates, which are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those associated with the regulatory approval process, our R&D process and other factors. Each of the above milestone payments, royalty payments and sublicense royalty payments was accrued until CCF owns less than five percent of our common stock on a fully-diluted basis or we receive more than $30,000,000 in funding and/or revenues from sources other than CCF, which have occurred with the completion of the private offering.

Although we believe that existing cash resources will be sufficient to finance our currently planned operations for the near-term (6-18 months), such amounts will not be sufficient to meet our longer-term cash requirements, including our cash requirements for the commercialization of certain of our drug candidates currently in development. We may be required to issue equity or debt securities or enter into other financial arrangements, including relationships with corporate and other partners, in order to raise additional capital. Depending upon market conditions, we may not be successful in raising sufficient additional capital for our long-term requirements. In such event, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those indicated in the above forward-looking statements: the results of our R&D efforts, the timing and success of preclinical testing, the timing and success of any clinical trials we may commence in the future, the timing of and responses to regulatory submissions, the amount of cash generated by our operations, the amount of competition we face and how successful we are in obtaining any required licenses and entering into collaboration arrangements.

Impact of Inflation

We believe that our results of operations are not dependent upon moderate changes in inflation rates.

Impact of Exchange Rate Fluctuations

We believe that our results of operations are somewhat dependent upon moderate changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We have entered into a manufacturing agreement with a foreign third party to produce one of its drug compounds and are required to make payments in the foreign currency. Currently, our exposure primarily exists with the Euro and the Great British Pound or GBP. As of June 30, 2008, we are obligated to make payments under the agreement of 49,250 Euros and 144,323 GBP. We also expect to enter into additional agreements with foreign third parties, increasing the risk. As a result, our financial results could be affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We have established means to purchase forward contracts to hedge against this risk. As of June 30, 2008, the Company has not purchased any forward contracts for Euros or GBP

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Effectiveness of Disclosure

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008 as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to assure that information required to be declared by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
