Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2013
1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Operations
Alseres Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) is a biotechnology company engaged in the development of therapeutic and
diagnostic products primarily for disorders in the central nervous system. The Company was founded in 1992 and merged with a publicly held company in 1995 (the Merger) whereby the Company changed its name to Boston Life Sciences, Inc.
Effective June 7, 2007, the Company changed its name to Alseres Pharmaceuticals, Inc. During the period from inception through March 31, 2013, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning, raising
financing, furthering the research and development of its technologies, and corporate partnering efforts. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be a development stage enterprise as defined in Accounting Standards Codification 915
(ASC 915)
Development Stage Entities
and will continue to be so until we realize royalty revenue from our outlicensed intellectual property. Our development stage started on October 16, 1992 and has continued through March 31, 2013,
and is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
As of March 31, 2013, we had experienced total net losses since inception of
approximately $198,991,399, stockholders deficit of approximately $26,798,000 and a net working capital deficit of approximately $9,255,000. For the foreseeable future, we expect to experience continuing operating losses and negative cash
flows from operations as we execute our current business plan. The cash and cash equivalents available at March 31, 2013 will not provide sufficient working capital to meet our anticipated expenditures for the next twelve months. From January
2013 through March 2013 we liquidated 235,000 shares of our Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (Navidea AMEX:NAVB) common stock for total proceeds of $726,934. We used these proceeds to settle our lawsuit with Childrens Hospital and
to meet our day-to-day obligations and continue to comply with our regulatory reporting requirements. As of March 31, 2013 we held 50,000 shares of NAVB common stock which we liquidated in April 2013 for total proceeds of $134,683. We believe
that the approximately $110,000 in cash and cash equivalents available as of May 1, 2013 may enable us to meet our anticipated cash expenditures through May 2013.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements, including our subsidiary Alseres Neurodiagnostics, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for complete financial statements.
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein include, in
managements opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim period shown on this report are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2012.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that
the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The uncertainty inherent in the need to raise additional capital and the Companys
recurring losses from operations raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company is taking a number of steps to address the issues regarding our ability to continue as a going concern until such time as routine royalty income from the Navidea transaction is realized by the Company. We are continuing to tightly
control our monthly expenses through further cost reductions and elimination of discretionary spending. We are engaged in fundraising efforts that could include one or more of the following: a debt financing or equity offering, a collaboration,
merger, acquisition or other transaction. There can be no assurances that any of these efforts will be successful and we may still be forced to curtail or cease operations in such event.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid financial instruments that are readily convertible to cash and have maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase. As of March 31, 2013 and
December 31, 2012, cash equivalents consisted of overnight sweep accounts invested in money market funds.
7
Short-term Investments
The Company has designated its marketable securities as of each balance sheet date as available-for-sale securities and accounts for them at their respective fair values. Marketable securities are
classified as short-term or long-term investments based on the nature of these securities and the availability of these securities to meet current operating requirements. Marketable securities that are readily available for use in current operations
are classified as short-term available-for-sale securities and are reported as a component of current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company reviews all available-for-sale securities at each period end to
determine if they remain available-for-sale based on the Companys then current intent and ability to sell the security if it is required to do so. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Companys short-term investments
include shares of common stock in NAVB and FluoroPharma Medical, Inc. (FPMI).
Restricted Market Securities
Under the terms of the Amended and Restated License Agreement with the President and Fellows of Harvard college (Harvard) entered into on July 31, 2012, the Company had an obligation to
transfer 15,000 shares of the NAVB stock received from the Navidea sublicense agreement to Harvard. The market value of the shares on December 31, 2012 was $42,450 and the Company completed the transfer of the 15,000 shares in January 2013.
Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of the Companys cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, trade payables, accrued expenses, and notes payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of
these instruments. Short-term investments consist of available-for-sale-securities as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and are carried at fair value. A contingent royalty liability of $16 million is recorded at fair value as
discussed in Note 11.
Revenue Recognition
Our revenues have been generated primarily through sublicense and option agreements related to our Altropane product. The terms of these agreements generally contain multiple elements, or deliverables,
which have included (i) licenses or options to obtain licenses to our technology; (ii) technology transfer obligations related to the licenses and (iii) research, development, regulatory and commercialization activities to be
performed on our behalf. Payments to the Company under these arrangements typically include one or more of the following: non-refundable, up-front license fees; option exercise fees; milestone payments; and royalties on future product sales.
The Company evaluates multiple element revenue arrangements under FASB ASC 605-25,
Multiple-Element Arrangements
(as amended by ASU
No. 2009-13). In addition to the form of the arrangement, the substance of the arrangement is also considered in determining whether separate agreements entered into, at or near the same time, that include elements that are interrelated or
interdependent should be treated as one multiple-element arrangement. If the Company concludes that separate agreements represent one arrangement, then all the elements in the separate agreements are combined into one multiple-element arrangement
for accounting purposes.
Revenues from non-refundable license fees are recognized upon receipt of the payment if the license has stand-alone
value, we do not have ongoing involvement or obligations and we have determined the best estimate of the selling price for any undelivered items. When non-refundable license fees do not meet all of these criteria, the license revenues are recognized
over the expected period of performance.
We periodically review our expected period of substantial involvement under the agreements that
provide for non-refundable up-front payments and license fees. When applicable, we will adjust the amortization periods when appropriate to reflect changes in assumptions relating to the duration of our expected involvement. We could accelerate
revenue recognition for non-refundable upfront payments or license fees in the event of an early termination of the agreements. Alternatively, we could decelerate such revenue recognition if our period of involvement is extended. While changes to
such estimates have no impact on our reported cash flows, our reported revenue is significantly influenced by our estimates of the period over which our obligations are expected to be performed and, therefore, over which revenue will be recognized.
Revenues associated with substantive, at-risk milestones pursuant to our licensing agreements are recognized upon achievement of the
milestones. We consider a milestone to be substantive at the inception of the arrangement if it is commensurate with either our performance to achieve the milestone or the enhancement of the value of the delivered item as a result of a specific
outcome resulting from our performance to achieve the milestone, it relates solely to past performance and it is reasonable relative to all of the deliverables and payment terms within the arrangement. Non-refundable contingent future amounts
receivable in connection with future events specified in our licensing agreements that are not considered milestones will be recognized as revenue when payments are earned by our counterparties through completion of any underlying performance
obligations, the amounts are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted the new presentation requirements under ASU 2011-05,
Presentation of Comprehensive Income
. ASU 2011-05 requires companies to present the
components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either as one continuous statement or as two consecutive statements. As ASU 2011-05 impacts presentation only, it had no effect on the Companys condensed consolidated
financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

On February 15, 2013, the Company entered into Settlement Agreements with Michael Mullen and William Guinness, both members of the
Board of Directors of the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to satisfy certain outstanding obligations to those individuals which, in aggregate, totaled $167,400 by issuing fully vested options to purchase a total of 167,400 shares of
the common stock of Alseres Neurodiagnostics, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) at a purchase price to be established by the Company coincident with the closing of an equity financing for Alseres Neurodiagnostics, Inc. The options must
be exercised, in whole or in part on or before February 28, 2018. The common stock issued pursuant to the exercise of the options will bear all appropriate restrictive legends on resale or disposition of the common stock. As of March 31,
2013 the options had not yet been issued nor is the closing of an equity financing certain to occur, therefore, the associated liability of $167,400 remains outstanding and is recorded in accrued expenses on the balance sheet at March 31, 2013.
4. Net Loss per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders has been calculated by dividing net loss attributable to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All potentially dilutive common shares have been excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding since their inclusion
would be anti-dilutive.
Stock options to purchase approximately 3.0 million shares of common stock were outstanding at March 31,
2013, but were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share because they were anti-dilutive. Stock options and warrants to purchase approximately 3.6 million shares of common stock were outstanding at March 31,
2012, but were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share because they were anti-dilutive. In computing diluted earnings per share, common stock equivalents in the form of convertible redeemable preferred stock were not
included in the calculation of net loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The exercise of stock options outstanding at March 31, 2013 could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future.
5. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
We have one stock option plan under which we can issue both nonqualified and incentive stock options to employees, officers,
consultants and scientific advisors of the Company. At March 31, 2013, the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2005 Plan) provided for the issuance of options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights or other
stock-based awards to purchase 3,450,000 shares of our common stock. The 2005 Plan contains a provision that allows for an annual increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the 2005 Plan on the first day of each of the
Companys fiscal years during the period beginning in fiscal year 2006 and ending on the second day of fiscal year 2014. The annual increase in the number of shares shall be equal to the lowest of 400,000 shares; 4% of the Companys
outstanding shares on the first day of the fiscal year; and an amount determined by the Board of Directors. No increase in the number of shares available for issuance was made in January 2013.
We also have outstanding stock options in three other stock option plans, the 1998 Omnibus Plan, the Amended and Restated Omnibus Stock Option Plan and
the Amended and Restated 1990 Non-Employee Directors Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan. These plans have expired and no future issuance of awards is permissible.
Our Board of Directors determines the term, vesting provisions, price, and number of shares for each award that is granted. The term of each option cannot exceed ten years.
We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant. No stock options were granted during
the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

There was no intrinsic value of outstanding options and exercisable options as of March 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2013,
809,172 shares were available for grant under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan.
6. Notes Payable and Debt
Effective July 31, 2012, Robert Gipson, Thomas Gipson, Arthur Koenig and Ingalls & Snyder Value Partners LLP, all lenders
to the Company under a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement originally executed in 2007, elected to convert $16,000,000 of principal outstanding under the promissory notes to a royalty on future net sales of the Companys Altropane product. All
other rights under the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement related to the $16,000,000 of principal were waived by the lenders.
The Company
has demonstrated financial difficulties. Further, the intent of the above convertible debt conversions and modifications was to allow for continued product development and was considered to be the most viable option for the Company. Based on these
factors , these transactions were considered to be concessions and were accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring under the guidance of ASC-470-60-55. As prescribed therein, when estimates are used relating to the maximum future cash payments,
as in this case, no gain shall be recognized until the estimated maximum future cash payments fall below the carrying value of the debt before restructuring. As a result of applying this guidance, the Company has determined that the carrying value
of the obligation remains at $16,000,000 at March 31, 2013.

Contingent Royalty
Liability
Effective July 31, 2012, Robert Gipson, Thomas Gipson, Arthur Koenig and Ingalls & Snyder Value Partners LLP, all
lenders to the Company under a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement originally executed in 2007, elected to convert $16,000,000 of principal outstanding under the promissory notes to a royalty on future net sales of the Companys Altropane

7. Convertible Preferred Stock
The Companys Series F Convertible, Redeemable Preferred Stock (Series F Stock) can be converted into 25
shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion terms of the Series F Stock contained in the Certificate of Designation for the Series F Stock. All shares of Series F Stock were sold to Robert Gipson in 2009 at $25 per share,
yielding the Company aggregate proceeds of $4,600,000. As of March 31, 2013, 12,000 shares of Series F Stock were outstanding and held by Robert Gipson.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
We recognize and disclose commitments when we enter into executed contractual obligations with third parties. We accrue contingent
liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.
On March 13,
2012 the Company received notice that Childrens Hospital Boston and Childrens Medical Center Corporation had filed a lawsuit in Middlesex Superior Court, Middlesex County, Massachusetts seeking to recover amounts alleged to be owed by
the Company to the plaintiffs.
On February 1, 2013 the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release with Boston
Childrens Hospital (BCH) and Childrens Medical Center Corporation (CMCC) in full settlement of the lawsuit filed by BCH and CMCC seeking to recover amounts alleged to be owed by the Company to the plaintiffs totaling $642,906 plus costs.
The amount of $642,906 was included in accrued expenses at December 31, 2012 but was incurred and expensed prior to January 1, 2011.
In
settlement of all claims by BCH and CMCC, the Company agreed to pay a lump sum of One Hundred Eighty five Thousand dollars $185,000 to the plaintiffs. In addition to the lump sum payment, the Company agreed to pay to the plaintiffs an additional sum
equal to the then cash value of 20,000 shares of the common stock of NAVB upon the occurrence of the first milestone described in Section 4.2 of the sublicense agreement dated as of July 31, 2012 between Navidea BioPharmaceuticals, Inc.
and the Company. This second payment is only due upon the occurrence of the first milestone unless the Company declares bankruptcy or alters its agreement with Navidea in a manner that results in the delay or cancellation of said milestone payment
in which case CMCC and BCH could bring additional claims against the Company for additional consideration. An adjustment reducing accrued expenses by $405,026 was made in March 2013 to reflect the final settlement with CMCC. This adjustment is
reflected as a gain in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss for the period ended March 31, 2013.
On May 2, 2012 the Company
received notice that Biostorage Technologies, Inc. had filed a lawsuit in Marion Superior/Circuit Court, Marion County, Indiana seeking to recover amounts alleged to be owed by the Company to the plaintiffs totaling $119,363. The Company believes
that the total amounts claimed in the Biostorage lawsuit are overstated by at least 100% The company believes that a high level of uncertainty regarding the outcome, disposition and ultimate liability to the Company related to this lawsuit exists
thus we have retained an accrual of $133,000 on our books which reflects the amount of the alleged claim plus additional legal fees. The discovery process in the case is on-going and the Company intends to pursue all available legal and equitable
remedies to defend this claim with a goal of settling it at or below the level of liability we believe is actually owed and without the need for a trial.
9. Income taxes
The Company is subject to both federal and state income tax for the jurisdiction within which it operates. Within these jurisdictions,
the Company is open to examination for tax years ended December 31, 2009 through December 31, 2012. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed an audit of tax years 2007 and 2008 and has informed us that no adjustments to
the federal tax returns as filed will be proposed as a result of the audit. However, because we are carrying forward income tax attributes such as a net operating loss (NOL) from 2006, these attributes can still be audited when utilized
on returns filed in the future.
10. Fair Value Measurements
The fair value hierarchy prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:
Level 1 unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;
Level 2 unadjusted quoted prices in markets that are not active,
Level 3 significant unobservable inputs, including our own assumptions in determining fair value
The following table summarizes the financial assets that we measured at fair value as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

A contingent royalty liability which resulted from the election by certain purchasers of the Companys Convertible Promissory Note Purchase
Agreement (the Note Purchase Agreement) to convert a total of $16,000,000 in debt obligation into a right to receive future royalties on net sales of the Companys Molecular Imaging Products. The Company obtained a third party fair
value valuation for its contingent royalty liability as of December 31, 2012. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which require it to be reported as a Level 3 asset within the fair value
hierarchy. The valuation uses assumptions that the Company believes would be made by a market participant. In particular, the valuation analysis employed the Income Approach based on the sum of the economic income that an asset is anticipated to
produce in the future. In this case that asset is the potential royalty income to be paid to the Company by Navidea as a result of the license agreement for Altropane. The Discounted Cash Flow method of the Income Approach was chosen as the method
best suited to valuing the contingent royalty liability. Changes in the fair value of the contingent royalty liability will be reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income in the period they become known. The actual calculated
fair value of the liability was $16.6 million, however, as described in Note 6 above, the accounting guidance does not provide for an increase in the liability in a troubled debt restructuring. The Company reviewed the projections and
assumptions used in the December 31, 2012 valuation estimate as of March 31, 2013 and determined that no changes from the assumptions used to compute the December 31, 2012 fair value had occurred that would have a material impact on
the resulting fair value computation.
