In the report, the analyst notes:
"For the quarter ended December 31, 2009, total net operating expenses were approximately $26.2 million, compared to $11.2 million for the same period in 2008. The increase in total net operating expenses was mainly a result of a non-cash equity based compensation expense of $11.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, and a $9.4 million gain on the sale of Zevalin to a 50/50 owned joint venture with Spectrum that was recognized in the quarter ended December 31, 2008.
"CTIC recently announced that it has entered into an agreement to sell $20 million of shares of its Series 4 Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase shares of its common stock in a registered offering to three institutional investors.
