Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Inc. / June 30, 2017 (Amounts in thousands)

1) Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A) Organization The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Inc. (LLS) is the world’s largest voluntary health agency dedicated to finding cures for blood cancers and providing services to blood cancer patients, their families, and caregivers. LLS’s mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. LLS research grants have funded many of today’s most promising advances for the treatment of blood cancer patients, including targeted therapies and immunotherapies. LLS is a leading source of publicly available information regarding blood cancer, and education and support programs. LLS influences public policies that accelerate the development and approval of new blood cancer therapies and advocates for all blood cancer patients and their families, helping patients navigate their cancer treatments and access to quality, affordable and coordinated care. LLS is dedicated to removing barriers to care by representing the healthcare and medical research interests of patients and families to policy makers at all levels of government.

B) Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LLS that encompass the National Office of LLS and its fifty-six chapters in the United States, and LLS’s not-for-profit affiliates, including The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada, Inc. (LLSC) and its five chapters in Canada, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Research Programs, Inc. (LLSRP), The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Research Foundation (LLSRF), Beat AML, LLC (BAML) and PearlPoint Cancer Support, Inc. (PPCS). Effective March 28, 2016, LLS became the sole member of PPCS. As part of the assumption of control, LLS recognized a transfer of net assets of $552. All significant inter- company and intra-LLS accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

C) Tax-Exempt Status LLS, LLSRP, LLSRF and PPCS qualify as charitable organizations as defined by Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and, accordingly, are exempt from federal income taxes under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(a). Additionally, since these organizations are publicly supported, contributions qualify for the maxi- mum charitable contribution deduction under the Internal Revenue Code. LLSC is registered as a charitable organization under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and is, therefore, not subject to income taxes if certain disbursement requirements are met. BAML is a single-member limited liability company and is a disregarded pass-through entity. Accordingly, all revenue and expenses are included in LLS. Income of BAML is exempt from federal income taxes under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) consistent with LLS. LLS and PPCS recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Income generated from activities unrelated to exempt purposes are subject to tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 511. There were no entities that recognized any unrelated business income tax liability for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

D) Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires LLS’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The significant estimates made in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements include the fair value of alternative investments, allowance for uncollect- ible accounts, allocation of expenses, and valuation of donated goods, services and media. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Inc. / June 30, 2017 (Amounts in thousands)

E) Risks and Uncertainties LLS invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate risks, fluctuations in market values, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet. LLS’s principal source of revenue is contributions by the general public. Accordingly, LLS’s operations are depen- dent upon individual contributions, that are affected by general economic conditions, employment levels, and other factors over which LLS has little or no control. By contrast to the granularity of the general public donations, the Co-Pay program in 2017 and 2016 was funded by eight and nine donors, respectively. In addition, the Beat AML Master Trial was primarily funded by five donors in 2017.

F) Summarized Financial Information The consolidated financial statements are presented with 2016 summarized or comparative information. With respect to the consolidated statement of activities, such prior year information is not presented by net asset class and, in the consolidated statement of functional expenses, 2016 expenses by object are presented in total rather than by functional category. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with LLS’s 2016 consoli- dated financial statements from which the summarized information was derived.

G) Subsequent Events LLS evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date of June 30, 2017 through October 27, 2017, which was the date the consolidated financial statements were issued, and concluded that no additional disclosures are required.

H) Net Asset Classifications To ensure observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of resources available to LLS, funds that have similar characteristics have been classified into three net asset categories as follows: Unrestricted net assets: Consist of funds that are fully available, at the discretion of LLS’s Board of Directors, for LLS to utilize in any of its programs or supporting services. Temporarily restricted net assets: Consist of funds that are restricted by donors for a specific time period and/or purpose. Permanently restricted net assets: Consist of funds that contain donorimposed restrictions requiring that the principal be invested in perpetuity. Income earned on these funds is recorded as temporarily restricted net assets and is released from restriction when the donor stipulated purpose has been fulfilled and/or the amount has been appropriated in compliance with the Board-approved spending policy (note 4).

I) Foreign Currency Translation LLSC uses the Canadian dollar as its functional currency. Accordingly, the currency translation of the financial statements of LLSC to U.S. dollars is included as a translation adjustment in the consolidated statement of activities.

J) Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 inputs are quoted or published prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Inc. / June 30, 2017 (Amounts in thousands)

Level 2 inputs other than quoted or published prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

LLS follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurement, for its alter- native investments that do not have readily determinable fair values, including hedge funds, limited partnerships, and other funds. This guidance allows, as a practical expedient, for the estimation of the fair value of investments in investment companies for which the investment does not have a readily determinable fair value, using net asset value (NAV) per share or its equivalent, as reported by the investment managers. The classification of investments in the fair value hierarchy is not necessarily an indication of the risks, liquidity, or degree of difficulty in estimating the fair value of each investment’s underlying assets and liabilities.

K) Contributions, Grants and Deferred Revenue Contributions are recorded as revenue, at their fair value, when received or promised unconditionally. Contributions received with donor restrictions that limit their use are reported as either temporarily or permanently restricted revenue. When a donor restriction is met through the passage of time or fulfillment of a purpose restric- tion, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the consolidated statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions. Conditional contributions are recognized as reve- nue when the conditions have been substantially met. Certain grants are accounted for as exchange transactions whereby revenue is recognized when the related expenses are incurred. Amounts received under these arrange- ments but not yet expended are reported as deferred revenue.

L) Therapy Acceleration Program Contractual Return In January 2009, as part of its Therapy Acceleration Program (TAP), LLS entered into an agreement with Celator Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Celator) through which LLS provided funding of approximately $4,100 to Celator in support of the Phase 2 study of Celator’s lead compound Vyxeos™ (daunorubicin and cytarabine liposome for injection) for the treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). From 2012 through 2016, LLS provided funding of an additional $5,000 for the Phase 3 clinical study of Vyxeos™. LLS provisions of funding to Celator were based on clinical milestones. As part of the agreement, Celator was obligated to make payments to LLS relative to the timing of the product commercialization and other liquidity events. In July 2016, Jazz Pharmaceuticals (Jazz) completed the purchase of Celator, triggering a payment of $13,716 to LLS. In late 2016, Jazz terminated the agreement with LLS triggering a onetime contract termination fee of $11,612 to eliminate potential future royalty payments related to Vyxeos™. The total amount of the return to LLS from its TAP investment in Celator was $25,328. The remaining $4,220 of TAP contractual return comes from various other TAP investments.

M) Service Revenue Service revenue is accounted for as an exchange transaction whereby revenue is recognized when the related expenses are incurred. Amounts received under these arrangements but not yet expended are reported as deferred revenue.

N) Donated Goods and Services LLS has determined that certain of the donated goods and services it receives meet the criteria for recognition in the consolidated financial statements. The value of contributed goods was determined based on fair market value estimates. The value of contributed services was determined for volunteers that possess specialized skills, and would otherwise need to be purchased. These goods and services are recognized as revenue and expense (note 7).

O) Donated Media LLS has conducted national public service announcements (PSA) media campaigns and benefited from donated media time that was aired on television and radio. The value of contributed media, which is recognized in the consolidated financial statements, was estimated based on the placement, audience, and demographics of the PSA’s (note 7).

P) Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less from date of purchase, except for amounts held in investments.

Q) Investments Investments are stated at fair value based upon quoted or published market prices, except for the fair values of alternative investments which are based on NAVs provided by the fund managers or general partners, based upon the underlying net assets of the funds consistent with the concepts of ASC 820. These values are reviewed and evaluated by management.

R) Fixed Assets and Depreciation Fixed assets, which consist principally of equipment, software, and leasehold improvements, are recorded at cost, and are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the terms of the leases, if shorter, ranging 2 to 10 years (leasehold improvements 7 years; furniture, fixtures, and office equipment 7 to 10 years, and computer equipment and software 2 to 5 years).

S) Other Long-Term Liabilities Other long-term liabilities represent LLS’s liability for the Internal Revenue Code Section 457 deferred compensa- tion plans recorded at fair market value (note 9) and straight-line rent of office leases (note 10).

T) Professional Fees Professional fees included in the consolidated financial statements principally include professional fundraising fees, contracted software development, and legal and auditing fees.

U) Reclassifications Certain reclassifications of 2016 amounts have been made to conform to the 2017 presentation.

2) Research and Co-Pay Assistance Program

LLS has various activities that are utilized to carry out its mission as presented below:

Research Awards and Grants: Awards and grants for research are approved by LLS’s Board of Directors and are recognized as expense when contractual conditions have been satisfied. The budgets for multi-year grants, which are generally two to five years in length, are approved on an annual basis and may be terminated at the discretion of LLS’s Board of Directors. LLS has multi-year grant commitments of $45,410 at June 30, 2017, which are conditioned upon future events and, accordingly, are not recorded. LLS has unconditional grants payable of $64,052 and $60,451 at June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which are anticipated to be paid in the next year. Grant refunds of approximately $923 and $450 as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, have been netted against awards and grants expense.

TAP: TAP is LLS’s strategic initiative to speed the development of blood cancer treatments and supportive diagnostics by creating business alliances with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. TAP provides funding for investiga- tional new drug enabling studies and clinical-stage projects. TAP contracts are recognized as an expense in the year program milestones are achieved. Multi-year contracts, which are generally two to three years in length, are reviewed against milestones on a quarterly basis and may be terminated at the discretion of LLS’s Board of Directors. LLS has contract commitments of $9,144 and $10,214 at June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, that are conditioned upon future events and, accordingly, are not recorded. Commitments for the awards and grants and TAP programs are contingent upon the satisfactory completion of mile- stones and/or other conditions in the grant and contract agreements. If such conditions are satisfied, the amounts are estimated to be paid as follows:

Year ending June 30: 2018 $ 28,702 2019 19,101 2020 and thereafter 6,751

Total $ 54,554

Co-Pay Assistance Program Co-Pay Assistance Program: The Co-Pay Assistance program offers financial assistance to patients in meeting their insurance Co-Pay obligations for prescription medications or private/public health insurance premiums. Amounts awarded under the program are expensed in the year approved based on the available funding in the program. Revenue is recognized when the grants are received while expenses are recognized as patients are approved for par- ticipation according to program criteria. The Co-Pay Assistance payable of $20,071 and $13,469 has been established based on approved patient applications received through June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. At June 30, 2017, temporarily restricted net assets include $8,148 received in 2017, which are available for expenditure and are intended to be awarded in fiscal 2018. The following summarizes the activities of the Co-Pay Assistance program in 2017 and 2016.

In 2016, LLS transitioned from a traditional Investment custodian to an Outsourced Chief Investment Officer. In this process, LLS liquidated its investment portfolio and reinvested all funds. Investment expenses totaled $376 and $560 for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The unreal- ized gains were $4,504 and $3,513 for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. LLS’s alternative investments are diversified across two investment strategies, as follows: 1. Multi strategy hedge funds – represent investments in a broad range of investment strategies that seek to exploit opportunities as they occur in the markets due to temporary dislocations or structural inefficiencies and include event-driven strategies, distressed debt, merger and other arbitrage, and value investing. 2. Long/short equities – primarily investments in funds that, in turn, invest in liquid, marketable securities, attempting to realize gains through the identification of mispriced securities. These strategies create indirect exposure to LLS through short sales of securities, trading in future and forward con- tracts, and other derivative products. Derivatives are investment contracts used to hedge risk. While these financial instruments may contain varying degrees of risk, LLS’s risk with respect to such transactions is limited to its capital balance in each investment. LLS’s alternative investments contain various redemption restrictions with required written notice ranging from 45–95 days. By contrast, all of LLS’s nonalternative investments are highly liquid and can be redeemed daily without restriction. As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, the following table summarizes the redemption provisions for those invest- ments reported at NAV:

2017 2016

Redemption period: Quarterly $ 6,265 6,003 Annual 1,595 3,736

Total $ 7,860 9,739

As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, LLS had no unfunded commitments on its alternative investments.

4) Temporarily and Permanently Restricted Net Assets

LLS follows the provisions of the New York Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act, which imposes guidelines on the management and investment of endowment funds. LLS has interpreted the relevant law as allowing LLS to appropriate for expenditure or accumulate so much of an endowment fund as LLS determines is prudent considering the uses, benefits, purposes, and duration for which the endowment fund is established, subject to the intent of the donor as expressed in the gift instrument. LLS has adopted investment and spending policies for endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding to programs supported by its endowment funds while seeking to protect the original value of the gift. The spending rate policy at June 30, 2017 and 2016 was 4%, plus any additional amounts advised by donors. Under this policy, the endowment assets are invested in a manner that is intended to produce results consistent with LLS’s overall investment strategy. The following table presents changes in the donorrestricted endowment funds for the year ended June 30, 2017:

Temporarily Permanently restricted restricted Total
