(the &#x201C;Company&#x201D;) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that is applying its leadership in galectin science and drug development to create new therapies for fibrotic disease and cancer. These candidates are based on the Company&#x2019;s targeting of galectin proteins which are key mediators of biologic and pathologic function. These compounds also may have application for drugs to treat other diseases and chronic health conditions.</font></p> <p style="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">The Company was founded in July 2000, was incorporated in the State of Nevada in January 2001 under the name &#x201C;Pro-Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,&#x201D; and changed its name to &#x201C;Galectin Therapeutics Inc.&#x201D; on May&#xA0;26, 2011. On March&#xA0;23, 2012, the Company effected a one-for-six reverse stock split. All common share and per share amounts in these financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse split.</font></p> <p style="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">The Company has operated at a loss since its inception and has had no revenues. The Company anticipates that losses will continue for the foreseeable future. At December&#xA0;31, 2015, the Company had $25,846,000 of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available to fund future operations. The Company believes there is sufficient cash to fund currently planned operations through March&#xA0;31, 2017.</font></p> <p style="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of clinical stage companies, including dependence on key individuals, uncertainty of product development and generation of revenues, dependence on outside sources of capital, risks associated with clinical trials of products, dependence on third-party collaborators for research operations, need for regulatory approval of products, risks associated with protection of intellectual property, and competition with larger, better-capitalized companies. Successful completion of the Company&#x2019;s development program and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations is dependent upon future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its development activities and achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company&#x2019;s cost structure. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, or at all, or successfully market its products.</font></p> </div>
