Miikana is a development stage company, accordingly, the acquisition of Miikana is
treated as an asset purchase. In accordance with EITF 98-3 Determining Whether a
Nonmonetary Transaction Involves Receipt of Productive Asset or of a Business, the
purchase price was first allocated to the tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based on the estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The balance of the purchase
price was allocated to intangible assets and recorded as in-process research and
development as the research and development projects in Miikanas pipeline, as of the
acquisition date, had not reached technological feasibility and had no alternative use.

Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions
of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, whereby revenue is not
recognized until it is realized or realizable and earned. Revenue is recognized when all
of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery
has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the buyer is fixed and
determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Royalty Revenue Royalties from licenses are based on third-party
sales and recorded as earned in accordance with contract terms, when third-party
results are reliably measured and collectibility is reasonably assured. We expect
that the majority of our 2006 revenues will be from royalties on the sale of
Thalomid
®
, which we expect to begin to recognize in the third quarter.
In 2004 certain provisions of a purchase agreement dated June 14, 2001 by and
between Bioventure Investments kft (Bioventure) and the Company were satisfied,
and, as a result, beginning in 2005 we became entitled to share in the royalty
payments received by Royalty Pharma Finance Trust, successor to Bioventure, on
annual Thalomid
®
sales above a certain threshold. Based on the
licensing agreement royalty formula, annual royalty sharing commences with
Thalomid
®
annual sales of approximately $225 million. The Company also is eligible to receive royalty payments under a February 2004 agreement with
Childrens Medical Center Corporation (CMCC) and Alchemgen Therapeutics. Under
the agreement, Alchemgen received rights to market endostatin and angiostatin in
Asia. We do not expect to receive royalties under this agreement in 2006. In
the future, royalty payments, if any, will be recorded as revenue when received
and/or when collectibility is reasonably assured.
Research and Development Research and development expenses consist primarily of
compensation and other expenses related to research and development personnel, research
collaborations, costs associated with pre-clinical testing and clinical trials of our
product candidates, including the costs of manufacturing the product candidates, and
facilities expenses. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation Issued in December 2004, Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123R (SFAS 123R) requires public companies to recognize expense associated
with share-based compensation arrangements, including employee stock options and stock
purchase plans, using a fair value-based option pricing model, and eliminates the
alternative to use the intrinsic value method of accounting for share-based payments. SFAS
123R is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006. Adoption of the expense
provisions of SFAS 123R have a material impact on our results of operations. We have
applied the modified prospective transition method; accordingly, compensation expense is
reflected in the financial statements beginning January 1, 2006 with no restatement of
prior
periods. Compensation expense is recognized for awards that are granted, modified,
repurchased or cancelled on or after January 1, 2006, as well as for the portion of awards
previously granted that have not vested as of January 1, 2006. For the adoption of SFAS
123R, we have selected the straight-line expense attribution method, whereas our previous
expense attribution method was the graded-vesting method, an accelerated method, described
by FIN 28.

the number of patients that ultimately participate in the trial;
the duration of patient follow-up that seems appropriate in view of the results;
the number of clinical sites included in the trials; and
the length of time required to enroll suitable patient subjects.
Outside Services We utilize outsourcing to conduct our product development
activities. Larger-scale small molecule synthesis,
in vivo
testing and data analysis are
examples of the services that we outsource. In the three-month period ended June 30, 2006,
EntreMed expended $801,000 on these activities versus $655,000 in the same 2005 period.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 outside services were $1,139,000, compared to
$1,136,000 for the same 2005 period While the costs for the two periods were essentially
the same, the 2006 expense includes $231,000 related to Miikanas outside services. An
offsetting decrease in expenses resulted from the absence of certain preclinical activities
related to ENMD-1198, which is now in Phase 1 trials.
Collaborative Research Agreements EntreMed made payments to collaborators of
$26,000 and $327,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and
$142,000 and $432,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Our
collaborative efforts are primarily directed towards further exploration of 2ME2
mechanism-of-action (MOA) and Panzem
Ò
non-oncology applications.
Clinical Trial Costs Clinical trial costs increased to $562,000 in the three months
ended June 30, 2006, from $285,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2005. Clinical
trial costs for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 increased to $1,037,000 from
$487,000 for the comparable 2005 period. The increase reflects the initiation of Phase 2
clinical trials for Panzem
Ò
NCD, in addition to $315,000 related to the
initiation of Phase 2 clinical trials for MKC-1. Costs of such trials include the clinical
site fees, monitoring costs and data management costs.
Contract Manufacturing Costs The costs of manufacturing the material used in
clinical trials for our product candidates is reflected in contract manufacturing. These
costs include bulk manufacturing, encapsulation and fill and finish services, and product
release costs. Contract manufacturing costs totaled $758,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2006 and 2005. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 manufacturing costs
decreased to $1,531,000 from $1,636,000 for the comparable 2005 period. Included in the
2006 amount is $177,000 related to the encapsulation of material for the Phase 2 trials for
MKC-1. The 2006 decrease results from the timing of manufacturing activities.

The Plan shall be administered by the Board or by such committee or committees as may be appointed by the Board from time to time (the Board, committee or committees hereinafter referred to as the Administrator). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation the power to administer this Plan and have the full authority of the Administrator hereunder with respect to Awards granted to specified Participants or groups of Participants.
(b) Powers of the Administrator. The Administrator shall have all the powers vested in it by the terms of the Plan, such powers to include authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to grant Awards under the Plan, prescribe Grant Agreements evidencing such Awards and establish programs for granting Awards.
(c) The Administrator shall have full power and authority to take all other actions necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the Plan, including, but not limited to, the authority to: (i) determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which Awards shall be granted; (ii) determine the types of Awards to be granted; (iii) determine the number of shares to be covered by or used for reference purposes for each Award; (iv) impose such terms, limitations, restrictions and conditions upon any such Award as the Administrator shall deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, whether a stock option shall be an incentive stock option or a nonqualified stock option, any exceptions to nontransferability, any Performance Goals applicable to Awards, any provisions relating to vesting, any circumstances in which the Awards would terminate, the period during which Awards may be exercised, and the period during which Awards shall be subject to restrictions; (v) modify, amend, extend or renew outstanding Awards, accept the surrender of outstanding Awards and substitute new Awards, or specify a lower or higher exercise price, or a longer or shorter term, for any substituted Awards than the surrendered Awards, or impose any other provisions that are

(e) Non-Uniform Determinations. The Administrators determinations under the Plan (including, without limitation, determinations of the persons to receive Awards, the form, amount and timing of such Awards, the terms and provisions of such Awards and the Grant Agreements evidencing such Awards) need not be uniform and may be made by the Administrator selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan, whether or not such persons are similarly situated.
(f) Limited Liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, no member of the Administrator shall be liable for any action taken or decision made in good faith relating to the Plan or any Award thereunder.

4. | SHARES AVAILABLE FOR THE PLAN |
(a) Maximum Issuable Shares. Subject to adjustments as provided in Section 7(f), the shares of Common Stock that may be issued with respect to Awards granted under the Plan shall not exceed an aggregate of 7,250,000 shares of Common Stock. The Corporation shall reserve such number of shares for Awards under the Plan, subject to adjustments as provided in Section 7(f). If any Award, or portion of an Award, under the Plan expires or terminates unexercised, becomes unexercisable or is forfeited or otherwise terminated, surrendered or canceled as to any shares, or if any shares of Common Stock are surrendered to the Corporation in connection with any Award (whether or not such surrendered shares were acquired pursuant to any Award), the shares subject to such Award and the surrendered shares shall thereafter be available for further Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that any such shares that are surrendered to the Corporation in connection with any Award or that are otherwise forfeited after issuance shall not be available for purchase pursuant to incentive stock options intended to qualify under Code section 422.
(b) Maximum Awards. Subject to adjustments as provided in Section 7(f) and Section 7(g)(ii), the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to Awards of any combination that may be granted during any calendar year of the Corporation to any one individual under this Plan shall be limited to 250,000; provided, however that Awards to an individual not previously an employee, as an inducement material to the individuals entering into employment with the Corporation, shall be limited to 500,000.
5. | PARTICIPATION |
(a) Participation in the Plan shall be open to all persons who are at the time of the grant of an Award employees (including persons who may become employees), officers, directors, and consultants of the Corporation, or of any Affiliate of the Corporation, as may be selected by the Administrator from time to time. A Participant who has been granted an Award may, if he or she is otherwise eligible, be granted additional Awards if the Administrator so determines.
6. | AWARDS |
The Administrator, in its sole discretion, establishes the terms of all Awards granted under the Plan. All Awards shall be subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Grant Agreement.
(a) Stock Options. The Administrator may from time to time grant to eligible Participants Awards of incentive stock options as that term is defined in Code section 422 or nonqualified stock options; provided, however, that Awards of incentive stock options shall be limited to employees of the Corporation or of any Parent or Subsidiary of the Corporation. Options intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Code section 422 must have an exercise price at least equal to Fair Market Value on the date of grant or at least 110% of Fair Market Value in the case of a Ten-Percent Stockholder, but nonqualified stock options may be granted with an exercise price less than Fair Market Value. No stock option shall be an incentive stock option unless so designated by the Administrator at the time of grant and such designation is reflected in the Grant Agreement evidencing such stock option.
(b) Stock Appreciation Rights. The Administrator may from time to time grant to eligible Participants Awards of Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs). A SAR may be exercised in whole or in part as provided in the applicable Grant Agreement and entitles the Participant to receive, subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Grant Agreement, a payment having an aggregate value equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one share of Common Stock over (B) the base price per share specified in the Grant Agreement, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares covered by the SAR, or portion thereof, which is exercised. Payment by the Corporation of the amount receivable upon any exercise of a SAR may be made by the delivery of Common Stock or cash, or any combination of Common Stock and cash, as specified in the Grant Agreement. If upon settlement of the exercise of a SAR a Participant is to receive a portion of such payment in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares shall be determined by dividing such portion by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the exercise date. No fractional shares shall be used for such payment and the Administrator shall determine whether cash shall be given in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated.
(c) Stock Awards. The Administrator may from time to time grant restricted or unrestricted stock Awards to eligible Participants in such amounts, on such terms and conditions (which terms and conditions may condition the vesting or payment of Stock Awards on the achievement of one or more Performance Goals), and for such considerations, including no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by law, as it shall determine.
(d) Phantom Stock. The Administrator may from time to time grant Awards to eligible Participants denominated in stock-equivalent units (Phantom Stock) in such amounts and on such terms and conditions as it shall determine, which terms and conditions may condition the vesting or payment of Phantom Stock on the achievement of one or more Performance Goals. Phantom Stock units granted to a Participant shall be credited to a bookkeeping reserve account solely for accounting purposes and shall not require a segregation of any of the Corporations assets. An Award of Phantom Stock may be settled in Common Stock, in cash, or in a combination of Common Stock and cash, as specified in the Grant Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Grant Agreement, the Participant shall not have the rights of a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock represented by a Phantom Stock unit solely as a result of the grant of a Phantom Stock unit to the Participant.
(e) Performance Awards. The Administrator may, in its discretion, grant performance Awards, which become payable on account of attainment of one or more Performance Goals established by the Administrator. Performance Awards may be paid by the delivery of Common Stock or cash, or any combination of Common Stock and cash, as specified in the Grant Agreement.
7. | MISCELLANEOUS |
(a) Investment Representations. The Administrator may require each person acquiring shares of Common Stock pursuant to Awards hereunder to represent to and agree with the Corporation in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof. The certificates for such shares may include any legend that the Administrator deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer. All certificates for shares issued pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such stock transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock is then listed or interdealer quotation system upon which the Common Stock is then quoted, and any applicable federal or state securities laws. The Administrator may place a legend or legends on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
(b) Compliance with Securities Law. Each Award shall be subject to the requirement that if, at any time, counsel to the Corporation shall determine that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject to such an Award upon any securities exchange or interdealer quotation system or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental or regulatory body, or that the disclosure of nonpublic information or the satisfaction of any other condition is necessary in connection with the issuance or purchase of shares under such an Award, such Award may not be exercised, in whole or in part, unless such satisfaction of such condition shall have been effected on conditions acceptable to the Administrator. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Corporation to apply for or to obtain such listing, registration or qualification, or to satisfy such condition.
(c) Withholding of Taxes. Participants and holders of Awards shall pay to the Corporation or its Affiliate, or make provision satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of, any taxes required to be withheld in respect of Awards under the Plan no later than the date of the event creating the tax liability. The Corporation or its Affiliate may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant or holder of an Award. In the event that payment to the Corporation or its Affiliate of such tax obligations is made in shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the applicable date for such purposes.
(d) Loans. The Corporation or its Affiliate may make or guarantee loans to Participants to assist Participants in exercising Awards and satisfying any withholding tax obligations.
(e) Transferability. Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator or provided in a Grant Agreement, no Award granted under the Plan shall be transferable by a Participant except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, during the lifetime of the Participant, the Award may be exercised only by the Participant or, during the period the Participant is under a legal disability, by the Participants guardian or legal representative. Except as provided above, the Award may not be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or disposed of in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
(f) Capital Adjustments. In the event of any change in the outstanding Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, split-up, stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, liquidation or the like, the Administrator may, in its discretion, provide for a substitution for or adjustment in (i) the number and class of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding Awards, (ii) the exercise price of Stock Options and the base price upon which payments under SARs are determined, (iii) the aggregate number and class of Shares for which Awards thereafter may be made under
(g) Modification, Substitution of Awards.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, the Administrator may modify the terms of any outstanding Awards; provided, however, that no modification of an Award shall, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair any of the Participants rights or obligations under such Award. | |
(ii) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Awards may, at the discretion of the Administrator, be granted under this Plan in substitution for stock options and other awards covering capital stock of another corporation which is merged into, consolidated with, or all or a substantial portion of the property or stock of which is acquired by, the Corporation or one of its Affiliates. The terms and conditions of the substitute Awards so granted may vary from the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan to such extent as the Administrator may deem appropriate in order to conform, in whole or part, to the provisions of the awards in substitution for which they are granted. Such substitute Awards granted hereunder shall not be counted toward the limit imposed by Section 4(b) hereof, except to the extent it is determined by the Administrator that counting such Awards is required in order for Awards hereunder to be eligible to qualify as performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. |
(h) Foreign Employees. Without amendment of this Plan, the Administrator may grant Awards to Participants who are subject to the laws of foreign countries or jurisdictions on such terms and conditions different from those specified in this Plan as may in the judgement of the Administrator be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of this Plan. The Administrator may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, sub-plans and the like as may be necessary or advisable to comply with provisions of laws of other countries or jurisdictions in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates operate or have employees.
(i) Termination, Amendment and Modification of the Plan. The Board may amend, alter or terminate the Plan, or portion thereof, at any time.
(j) Non-Guarantee of Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan or in any Grant Agreement shall confer on an individual any legal or equitable right against the Corporation, any Affiliate or the Administrator, except as expressly provided in the Plan or the Grant Agreement. Nothing in the Plan or in any Grant Agreement thereunder shall (i) constitute inducement, consideration, or contract for employment or service between an individual and the Corporation or any Affiliate; (ii) confer any right on an individual to continue in the service of the Corporation or any Affiliate; or (iii) shall interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation or any Affiliate to terminate such service at any time with or without cause or notice, or to increase or decrease compensation for such service.
(k) Other Employee Benefits. Except as to plans that by their terms include such amounts as compensation, the amount of any compensation deemed to be received by a Participant as a result of the exercise of an Award or the sale of shares received upon such exercise will not constitute compensation with respect to which any other employee benefits of such Participant are determined, including, without limitation, benefits under any bonus, pension, profit-sharing, life insurance or salary continuation plan, except as otherwise specifically determined by the Administrator.
(l) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Corporation and a Participant or any other person. To the extent that any Participant or other person acquires a right to receive payments from the Corporation pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Corporation.
(m) Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan, of Grant Agreements entered into pursuant to the Plan, and of any rules, regulations, determinations or decisions made by the Administrator relating to the Plan or such Grant Agreements, and the rights of any and all persons having or claiming to have
(n) Effective Date, Termination Date. The Plan is effective as of May 14, 2001, the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board, subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Corporation within twelve months of such effective date. No Award shall be granted under the Plan after the close of business on May 14, 2011. Subject to other applicable provisions of the Plan, all Awards made under the Plan prior to such termination of the Plan shall remain in effect until such Awards have been satisfied or terminated in accordance with the Plan and the terms of such Awards.
(m) Section 409 A. Effective January 1, 2005 and notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, to the extent any Award (or modification of an Award) under this Plan results in the deferral of compensation (for purposes of Section 409A of the Code), the terms and conditions of the Award shall comply with Section 409A of the Code.
