These investments are valued at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate&#13;component of stockholders&amp;#8217; equity in accumulated other comprehensive loss.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Securities available for sale are evaluated&#13;periodically to determine whether a decline in their value is other than temporary. The term &amp;#8220;other than temporary&amp;#8221;&#13;is not intended to indicate a permanent decline in value. Rather, it means that the prospects for near term recovery of value are&#13;not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support fair values equal to, or greater than, the carrying value&#13;of the security. Management reviews criteria such as the magnitude and duration of the decline, as well as the reasons for the&#13;decline, to predict whether the loss in value is other than temporary. Once a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary,&#13;the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

We acquired all EGEN&amp;#8217;s right, title and interest in and to substantially all of the assets of&#13;EGEN, including cash and cash equivalents, patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights, clinical data, certain contracts,&#13;licenses and permits, equipment, furniture, office equipment, furnishings, supplies and other tangible personal property. In addition,&#13;CLSN Laboratories assumed certain specified liabilities of EGEN, including the liabilities arising out of the acquired contracts&#13;and other assets relating to periods after the closing date.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;At the time of the acquisition, the total purchase&#13;price for the asset acquisition was up to $44.4 million, including potential future earnout payments of up to $30.4 million contingent&#13;upon achievement of certain earnout milestones set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. We paid approximately $3.0 million in&#13;cash after the expense adjustment and issued 241,590 shares of our common stock to EGEN. The shares of common stock were issued&#13;in a private transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Acquired In-process Research and Development&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Acquired in-process research and development&#13;(IPR&amp;#38;D) consists of EGEN&amp;#8217;s drug technology platforms: TheraPlas and TheraSilence. The fair value of the IPR&amp;#38;D drug&#13;technology platforms was estimated to be $24.2 million as of the acquisition date. As of the closing of the acquisition, the IPR&amp;#38;D&#13;was considered indefinite lived intangible assets and will not be amortized. IPR&amp;#38;D is reviewed for impairment at least annually&#13;as of our third quarter ended September 30, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of&#13;the assets might not be recoverable. On December 31, 2016, the Company determined one of its IPR&amp;#38;D assets related to its RNA&#13;delivery system was impaired and wrote off its fair value, incurring a non-cash charge of $1.4 million during 2016. During its&#13;annual assessments on September 30, 2017 and 2018, the Company determined its IPR&amp;#38;D asset related to its glioblastoma multiforme&#13;cancer (GBM) product candidate, originally fair valued at $9.4 million on the date of acquisition, was impaired and wrote this&#13;asset&amp;#8217;s carrying value down to $2.4 million collectively after those two assessments, incurring non-cash charges of $2.5&#13;million and $4.5 million during 2017 and 2018, respectively. On September 30, 2019, the Company evaluated its IPR&amp;#38;D of the&#13;(GBM) product candidate and concluded that it is not more likely than not that the asset is further impaired. On September 30,&#13;2019 and 2018, the Company evaluated its IPR&amp;#38;D of the ovarian cancer indication and concluded that it is not more likely than&#13;not that the asset is impaired.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Covenants Not To Compete&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Pursuant to the EGEN Purchase Agreement, EGEN&#13;provided certain covenants (&amp;#8220;Covenant Not To Compete&amp;#8221;) to the Company whereby EGEN agreed, during the period ending&#13;on the seventh anniversary of the closing date of the acquisition on June 20, 2014, not to enter into any business, directly or&#13;indirectly, which competes with the business of the Company nor will it contact, solicit or approach any of the employees of the&#13;Company for purposes of offering employment. The Covenant Not to Compete, which was valued at approximately $1.6 million at the&#13;date of the EGEN asset acquisition, has a definitive life and is amortized on a straight-line basis over its life of 7 years. The&#13;Company recognized amortization expense of $56,829 in each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The Company&#13;recognized amortization expense of $170,487 in each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The carrying value&#13;of the Covenant Not to Compete was $397,805, net of $1,193,409 in accumulated amortization expense, as of September 30, 2019. The&#13;carrying value of the Covenant Not to Compete was $568,292, net of $1,022,922 in accumulated amortization expense, as of December&#13;31, 2018.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Following is a schedule of future amortization&#13;amounts during the remaining life of the Covenant Not to Compete.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse"&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-bottom: 1.5pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td colspan="2" style="border-bottom: black 1.5pt solid"&gt;&#13;        &lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Year Ended&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;        &lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;September 30,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-bottom: 1.5pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: #CCEEFF"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 79%"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;2020&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 1%"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 1%"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;$&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 18%; text-align: right"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;227,316&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 1%"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: white"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;2021&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="text-align: right"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;170,489&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: #CCEEFF"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-bottom: 1.5pt"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;2022 and thereafter&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-bottom: 1.5pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: black 1.5pt solid"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: black 1.5pt solid; text-align: right"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;-&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-bottom: 1.5pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: white"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-bottom: 2.5pt; padding-left: 10pt"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Total&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-bottom: 2.5pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: black 2.25pt double"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;$&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: black 2.25pt double; text-align: right"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;397,805&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-bottom: 2.5pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;/table&gt;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Goodwill&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The purchase price exceeded the estimated fair&#13;value of the net assets acquired by approximately $2.0 million which was recorded as Goodwill.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually as of our third quarter ended&#13;September 30 or sooner if we believe indicators of impairment exist.

The effective interest rate at December&#13;31, 2018 was 9.98%. Payments under the loan agreement are interest only for the first twenty-four (24) months after loan closing,&#13;followed by a 24-month amortization period of principal and interest through the scheduled maturity date. At its option, the Company&#13;can prepay all the outstanding principal balance by prepaying the outstanding principal balance and an amount equal to 1-3% of&#13;the outstanding principal balance at that time, based on the amount of time prior to the maturity date of the notes.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Horizon Credit Agreement contains customary&#13;representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants including, among other things, covenants that limit or restrict&#13;Celsion&amp;#8217;s ability to grant liens, incur indebtedness, make certain restricted payments, merge or consolidate and make dispositions&#13;of assets. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Horizon Credit Agreement, the lenders may cease making loans, terminate&#13;the Horizon Credit Agreement, declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable and foreclose on or liquidate Celsion&amp;#8217;s&#13;assets that comprise the lenders&amp;#8217; collateral. The Horizon Credit Agreement specifies a number of events of default (some&#13;of which are subject to applicable grace or cure periods), including, among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults,&#13;a material adverse effect on Celsion or its assets, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults&#13;and material judgment defaults.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;As a fee in connection with the Horizon Credit&#13;Agreement, Celsion issued Horizon warrants exercisable for a total of 190,114 shares of Celsion&amp;#8217;s common stock (the &amp;#8220;Horizon&#13;Warrants&amp;#8221;) at a per share exercise price of $2.63. The Horizon Warrants are immediately exercisable for cash or by net exercise&#13;from the date of grant and will expire after ten years from the date of grant.

These debt discount&#13;amounts totaling $782,116 are being amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the loan.&#13;Also, in connection with each of the Horizon Credit Agreements, the Company is required to pay an end of term charge equal to 4.0%&#13;of the original loan amount at time of maturity.

Celsion will repay Hisun for the aggregate&#13;amount of these development costs and fees commencing on the successful completion of three registration batches of ThermoDox&lt;sup&gt;&amp;#174;&lt;/sup&gt;.&#13;Hisun is also obligated to certain performance requirements under the agreement. The agreement will initially be limited to a percentage&#13;of the production requirements of ThermoDox&lt;sup&gt;&amp;#174;&lt;/sup&gt; in the China territory with Hisun retaining an option for additional&#13;global supply after local regulatory approval in the China territory. In addition, Hisun will collaborate with Celsion around the&#13;regulatory approval activities for ThermoDox&lt;sup&gt;&amp;#174; &lt;/sup&gt;with the China State Food and Drug Administration (CHINA FDA). During&#13;the first quarter of 2015, Hisun completed the successful manufacture of three registration batches of ThermoDox&lt;sup&gt;&amp;#174;&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;On January 18, 2013, we entered into a technology&#13;development contract with Hisun, pursuant to which Hisun paid us a non-refundable research and development fee of $5 million to&#13;support our development of ThermoDox&lt;sup&gt;&amp;#174;&lt;/sup&gt; in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau (the China territory). Following our&#13;announcement on January 31, 2013 that the HEAT study failed to meet its primary endpoint, Celsion and Hisun have agreed that the&#13;Technology Development Contract entered into on January 18, 2013 will remain in effect while the parties continue to collaborate&#13;and are evaluating the next steps in relation to ThermoDox &lt;sup&gt;&amp;#174;&lt;/sup&gt; , which include the sub-group analysis of patients&#13;in the Phase III HEAT Study for the hepatocellular carcinoma clinical indication and other activities to further the development&#13;of ThermoDox &lt;sup&gt;&amp;#174;&lt;/sup&gt; for the Greater China market. The $5.0 million received as a non-refundable payment from Hisun in&#13;the first quarter 2013 has been recorded to deferred revenue and will continue to be amortized over the 10 -year term of the agreement,&#13;until such time as the parties find a mutually acceptable path forward on the development of ThermoDox &lt;sup&gt;&amp;#174;&lt;/sup&gt; based&#13;on findings of the ongoing post-study analysis of the HEAT Study data.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;On July 19, 2013, the Company and Hisun entered&#13;into a Memorandum of Understanding to pursue ongoing cooperation for the continued clinical development of ThermoDox &lt;sup&gt;&amp;#174;&lt;/sup&gt;&#13;as well as the technology transfer relating to the commercial manufacture of ThermoDox &lt;sup&gt;&amp;#174;&lt;/sup&gt; for the China territory.&#13;This expanded level of cooperation includes development of the next generation liposomal formulation with the goal of creating&#13;safer, more efficacious versions of marketed cancer chemotherapeutics.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Among the key provisions of the Celsion-Hisun&#13;Memorandum of Understanding are:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse"&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 48px; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#9679;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Hisun will provide the Company with internal resources necessary to complete the technology transfer of the Company&amp;#8217;s proprietary manufacturing process and the production of registration batches for the China territory;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#9679;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Hisun will coordinate with the Company around the clinical and regulatory approval activities for ThermoDox&lt;sup&gt;&amp;#174;&lt;/sup&gt; as well as other liposomal formations with the CHINA FDA; and&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#9679;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Hisun will be granted a right of &lt;i&gt;first&lt;/i&gt; offer for a commercial license to ThermoDox&lt;sup&gt;&amp;#174;&lt;/sup&gt; for the sale and distribution of ThermoDox&lt;sup&gt;&amp;#174;&lt;/sup&gt; in the China territory.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;/table&gt;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;On August 8, 2016, we signed a Technology Transfer,&#13;Manufacturing and Commercial Supply Agreement (&amp;#8220;GEN-1 Agreement&amp;#8221;) with Hisun to pursue an expanded partnership for&#13;the technology transfer relating to the clinical and commercial manufacture and supply of GEN- 1, Celsion&amp;#8217;s proprietary gene&#13;mediated, IL- 12 immunotherapy, for the greater China territory, with the option to expand into other countries in the rest of&#13;the world after all necessary regulatory approvals are in effect.

Our lead&#13;product candidate is ThermoDox&lt;sup&gt;&amp;#174;&lt;/sup&gt;, a proprietary heat-activated liposomal encapsulation of doxorubicin, currently&#13;in a Phase III clinical trial for the treatment of primary liver cancer (the &amp;#8220;OPTIMA Study&amp;#8221;). Second in our pipeline&#13;is GEN-1, a DNA-mediated immunotherapy for the localized treatment of ovarian cancer. These investigational products are based&#13;on our two platform technologies which, in addition, provide the basis for the future development of a range of therapeutics for&#13;difficult-to-treat forms of cancers. Our first platform is Lysolipid Thermally Sensitive Liposomes, a heat sensitive liposomal&#13;based dosage form that targets disease with known therapeutics in the presence of mild heat.

Leases will be classified&#13;as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This&#13;update also requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty&#13;of cash flows arising from leases. The update became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim&#13;reporting periods within that reporting period. The FASB subsequently issued the following amendments to ASC Topic 842, which have&#13;the same effective date and transition date of January 1, 2019:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse"&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 48px"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&amp;#9679;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;ASU No. 2018-10, &lt;i&gt;Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases&lt;/i&gt;, which amends certain narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-02; and&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&amp;#9679;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;ASU No. 2018-11, &lt;i&gt;Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements&lt;/i&gt;, which allows for a transition approach to initially apply ASU 2016-02 at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption as well as an additional practical expedient for lessors to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;/table&gt;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;We adopted Topic ASC 842 effective January&#13;1, 2019 and elected to apply the available practical expedients and implement internal controls to enable the preparation of financial&#13;information on adoption. We identified two of our leases consisting of the New Jersey corporate office lease and the Alabama lab&#13;facility lease as being subject to Topic ASC 842. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets&#13;of approximately $1.4 million, related operating lease liabilities of $1.5 million and reduced other liabilities by approximately&#13;$0.1 million on the consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2019 with no material impact to the opening balance of retained&#13;earnings.

In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of&#13;stockholders&amp;#8217; equity for interim financial statements. In August and September 2018, further amendments were issued to provide&#13;implementation guidance on adoption of the SEC rule and transition guidance for the new interim stockholders&amp;#8217; equity disclosure.&#13;We adopted this amended guidance in the first quarter of 2019. The adoption of this amended guidance resulted in us disclosing&#13;the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders&amp;#8217; Equity for the three-month and nine-month periods ending&#13;September 30, 2019 and 2018.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting&#13;Standard Update No. 2017-01, &amp;#8220;Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business,&amp;#8221; which clarifies&#13;the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should&#13;be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods&#13;beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted.

Under the revised test, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill&#13;impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment&#13;charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit&amp;#8217;s fair value; however, the loss recognized&#13;should &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This ASU is effective for any interim or&#13;annual impairment tests for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted&#13;this method for its impairment testing of goodwill during 2017 and 2018.

(Brandywine), a Delaware limited partnership for a 10,870&#13;square foot premises located in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. In October 2011, the Company relocated its offices to Lawrenceville,&#13;New Jersey from Columbia, Maryland. The Lease had an initial term of 66 months. In late 2015, Lenox Drive Office Park LLC, purchased&#13;the real estate and office building and assumed the Lease. This Lease was set to expire on April 30, 2017. In April 2017, the Company&#13;and the landlord amended the Lease effective May 1, 2017. The 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; Lease Amendment extended the term of the agreement&#13;for an additional 64 months, reduced the premises to 7,565 square feet, reduced the monthly rent and provided four months free&#13;rent. The monthly rent ranged from approximately $18,900 in the first year to approximately $20,500 in the final year of the 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;&#13;Lease Amendment. The Company also had a one-time option to cancel the lease as of the 40th month after the commencement date of&#13;the 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; Lease Amendment and must provide the landlord notice by the 28&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; month of the lease. Effective January&#13;9, 2019, the Company amended the current terms of the 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; Lease Amendment to increase the size of the premises by 2,285&#13;square feet to 9,850 square feet and also extended the lease term by one year to September 1, 2023. In conjunction with this 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt;&#13;Lease Amendment, we agreed to modify our one-time option to cancel the lease as of the end of August 2021 and we must provide notice&#13;to the landlord by the end of August 2020. The monthly rent will range from approximately $25,035 in the first year to approximately&#13;$27,088 in the final year of the 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; Lease Amendment.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In connection with the EGEN Asset Purchase&#13;Agreement in June 2014, the Company assumed the existing lease with another landlord for an 11,500 square foot premises located&#13;in Huntsville Alabama. In January 2018, the Company and the Huntsville landlord entered into a new 60-month lease which reduced&#13;the premises to 9,049 square feet with rent payments of approximately $18,100 per month.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;As previously mentioned in Note 4, we adopted&#13;ASC Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method for all lease arrangements at the beginning&#13;of the period of adoption. Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2019 are presented under ASC 842, while prior period&#13;amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 840, Leases. The standard&#13;had a material impact on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet but had no impact on our consolidated net earnings and cash flows.&#13;The most significant impact of adopting ASC Topic 842 was the recognition of the right-of-use (ROU) asset and lease liabilities&#13;for operating leases, which are presented in the following three-line items on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet: (i) operating&#13;lease right-of-use asset; (ii) current operating lease liabilities; and (iii) operating lease liabilities. Therefore, on date of&#13;adoption of ASC Topic 842, the Company recognized a ROU asset of $1.4 million, operating lease liabilities, current and non-current&#13;collectively, of $1.5 million and reduced other liabilities by approximately $0.1 million. We elected the package of practical&#13;expedients for leases that commenced before the effective date of ASC Topic 842 whereby we elected to not reassess the following:&#13;(i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases;&#13;and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. In addition, we have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components,&#13;and we have elected the practical expedient for all underlying asset classes and account for them as a single lease component.&#13;We have no finance leases. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We have operating leases for office space and&#13;research and development facilities. Neither of our leases include options to renew, however, one contains an option for early&#13;termination. We considered the option of early termination in measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and we determined&#13;it is not reasonably certain to be terminated. In connection with the 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; Lease Amendment for the New Jersey office&#13;lease in January 2019, the Company considered this as one modified lease and not as two separate leases. Therefore, in January&#13;2019, the Company determined this lease was an operating lease and remeasured the ROU asset and lease liability. Therefore, the&#13;Company increased the ROU asset and operating lease liabilities by $0.4 million to $1.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

The Company may need to obtain additional funds sooner or in greater amounts than it currently anticipates.&#13;Potential sources of financing include strategic relationships, public or private sales of the Company&amp;#8217;s shares or debt,&#13;the sale of the Company&amp;#8217;s State of New Jersey net operating losses and other sources. If the Company raises funds by selling&#13;additional shares of common stock or other securities convertible into common stock, the ownership interest of existing stockholders&#13;may be diluted.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Annually, the State of New Jersey enables approved&#13;technology and biotechnology businesses with New Jersey net operating tax losses the opportunity to sell these losses through the&#13;Technology Business Tax Certificate Program (the &amp;#8220;NOL Program&amp;#8221;), thereby providing cash to companies to help fund their&#13;operations. The Company determined it met the eligibility requirements of the NOL Program and filed its application with the New&#13;Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) in June 2018. In this application, the Company requested authorization of up to $12.5&#13;million in tax benefits from its cumulative New Jersey net operating losses to be eligible for sale. In September 2018, the NJEDA&#13;notified the Company that its application received approval to transfer $11.1 million of tax benefits. In December 2018, the Company&#13;successfully transferred these approved tax benefits which resulted in the receipt of $10.4 million in net cash proceeds to the&#13;Company at the end of 2018. The Company has approximately $3.9 million in future tax benefits remaining under the NOL Program for&#13;future years subsequent to 2018. &lt;font style="background-color: #F8F8F8"&gt;In September 2019, the NJEDA notified the Company that&#13;its application received approval under the NOL Program for 2019. The Company expects that the successful transfer of these credits&#13;will result in receipt of approximately $2.0 million in net cash proceeds to the Company prior to the end of 2019.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;With $18.8 million in cash, investment securities&#13;and interest receivable at September 30, 2019 coupled with potential future sales of the Company&amp;#8217;s New Jersey NOL&amp;#8217;s&#13;and, as more fully described in Note 11, the remaining availability under the Capital on Demand Equity Facility with JonesTrading&#13;Institutional Services LLC and the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital Fund LLC, the Company believes it has sufficient&#13;capital resources to fund its operations into the second quarter of 2021. The Company will be required to obtain additional funding&#13;to continue development of its current product candidates within the anticipated time periods, if at all, and to continue to fund&#13;operations.&lt;/p&gt;</CLSN:FinancialConditionAndBusinessPlanTextBlock>

The monthly rent ranged from approximately $18,900 in the first year to approximately $20,500 in the final year of the 1st Lease Amendment. The Company also had a one-time option to cancel the lease as of the 40th month after the commencement date of the 1st Lease Amendment and must provide the landlord notice by the 28th month of the lease. Effective January 9, 2019, the Company amended the current terms of the 1st Lease Amendment to increase the size of the premises by 2,285 square feet to 9,850 square feet and also extended the lease term by one year to September 1, 2023. In conjunction with this 2nd Lease Amendment, we agreed to modify our one-time option to cancel the lease as of the end of August 2021 and we must provide notice to the landlord by the end of August 2020. The monthly rent will range from approximately $25,035 in the first year to approximately $27,088 in the final year of the 2nd Lease Amendment.</us-gaap:LesseeOperatingLeaseOptionToExtend>
