Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents.

A savings certificate entitling the Entity (that is, bearer) to receive interest at an established maturity date, based upon a fixed interest rate.

Certificates of deposit generally restrict holders from withdrawing funds on demand without the incurrence of penalties. Generally, only certificates of deposit with original maturities of three months or less qualify as cash equivalents. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. As a related example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents.

Catalyst Pharmaceutical Partners, Inc. (the Company) is a development-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of prescription drugs targeting diseases of the central nervous system with a focus on the treatment of addiction and epilepsy. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in July 2006. It is the successor by merger to Catalyst Pharmaceutical Partners, Inc., a Florida corporation, which commenced operations in January 2002. The Company has incurred operating losses in each period from inception through June 30, 2011. The Company has been able to fund its cash needs to date through an initial funding from its founders, four private placements, an initial public offering (IPO), a government grant and four registered direct offerings via shelf registrations to institutional investors. See Note 8. Capital Resources The Company is currently involved in the following product development activities: (i) the Company is in the process of completing the non-clinical studies that it believes will be required in order for the Company to file an investigational new drug application (IND) for CPP-115 (which the Company expects to file during the third quarter of 2011); (ii) the Company intends to commence an initial Phase I clinical trial evaluating the safety of CPP-115 in humans during the fourth quarter of 2011, and (iii) the Company is jointly conducting with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the Veteran's Administration Cooperative Studies Program (VA) a U.S. Phase II(b) clinical trial of CPP-109 (and, based on current information, the Company expects to obtain top line results from this trial during the fourth quarter of 2012). Based on currently available information with respect to the anticipated costs of its clinical trials, the Company believes that it will require additional funding of approximately $1.2 million before the end of the first half of 2012 in order to fund these projects and in order to have sufficient working capital to support its operations through the receipt of data from the above-described clinical trials. While the Company expects to be able to raise the required additional funding, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so, and the failure to raise such funds could have a material adverse effect on the Company's product development efforts. Further, the Company will need further additional funding to complete any other non-clinical studies or clinical studies and trials that may be required to submit NDAs for and commercialize CPP-109 and CPP-115 and to support the Company's operations beyond the end of the first half of 2012. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever be able to commercialize either of its product candidates. The Company intends to raise the additional funds required through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate or government collaborations, governmental research grants or other means. The Company may also seek to raise new capital to fund additional product development efforts, even if it has sufficient funds for its planned operations. Any sale by the Company of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in dilution to the Company's current stockholders. There can be no assurance that any such required additional funding will be available to the Company at all or available on terms acceptable to the Company. Further, to the extent that the Company raises additional funds through collaborative arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish some rights to the Company's technologies or grant sublicenses on terms that are not favorable to the Company. If the Company is not able to secure additional funding when needed, the Company may have to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more research and development programs, which could have an adverse effect on the Company's business. |

Brookhaven has formally advised the Company that they believe that the amount potentially due from the Company to Brookhaven for reimbursement of patent related expenses is approximately $1.3 million.

In any event, no patent-related expenses are due to Brookhaven under the license agreement until the submission by the Company of an NDA for CPP-109. As the Company has not yet filed an NDA for CPP-109, no amounts relating to this matter are accrued in the accompanying June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 condensed balance sheets.
