1. Nature of Operations

KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the Company) is a biopharmaceutical company whose primary business is to develop monoclonal antibody therapeutics for diseases that represent a significant burden to society and to patients and their families. The Company’s primary clinical focus is on respiratory diseases and cancer. The Company was incorporated on March 15, 2000 in California and reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in September 2001. All of the Company’s assets are located in California.

The Company has incurred significant losses and had an accumulated deficit of $160.4 million as of June 30, 2014. The Company has financed its operations primarily through the sale of equity securities, grants and the payments received under its agreements with Novartis Pharma AG (Novartis) and Sanofi Pasteur S.A. (Sanofi). The Company completed its initial public offering (IPO) in February 2013 and completed a secondary offering and sale of common stock in October 2013. To date, none of the Company’s product candidates have been approved for sale and therefore the Company has not generated any revenue from product sales. Management expects operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future. As a result, the Company will continue to require additional capital through equity offerings, debt financing and/or payments under new or existing licensing or collaboration agreements. If sufficient funds on acceptable terms are not available when needed, the Company could be required to significantly reduce its operating expenses and delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of its development programs.
