Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On December 31, 2007, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 21, 2007, reporting that we completed the acquisition of the U.S. development, sales and marketing rights to the radiopharmceutical product Zevalin® (Ibritumomab Tiuxetan), or Zevalin, from Biogen Idec Inc., or Biogen, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement. In that Current Report, we indicated that the financial statements and pro forma financial information required under Item 9.01 of Form 8-K would be filed no later than 71 calendar days after the date of the Current Report reporting the acquisition was required to be filed. This Amendment No. 1 to our December 21, 2007 Current Report on Form 8-K contains the required financial statements and pro forma financial information.

It is impracticable to prepare complete financial statements in accordance with Rules 3-01 and 3-02 of Regulation S-X relating to the assets acquired, as Biogen did not account for Zevalin as a separate entity and cannot objectively allocate certain expenses to the assets. The statements of net revenue and direct expenses for Zevalin included elsewhere in this filing include disclosure of all related costs of sales and other selling, general and administrative, distribution, marketing, and research and development costs directly associated with producing the revenues reflected in the statement. Direct operating expenses exclude certain allocated operating expenses such as facility expenses, income taxes and interest as it is not practical for Biogen management to reasonably estimate these expenses that would have resulted if Zevalin had been operated as an independent company.

 

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits

 

(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired

The audited statements of revenues and direct expenses of Zevalin for the year ended December 31, 2006 and are included on Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of Cell Therapeutics, Inc. and Zevalin as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006 are included on Exhibit 99.2 hereto.
