SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	10.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Preferred Dividend On April 5, 2013, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.15 per share of the Preferred Stock. The cash dividend was paid on May 1, 2013 to the holders of record of the Preferred Stock as of the close of business on April 19, 2013. Legal Proceedings On April 27, 2010, the Company was served with a complaint filed by Celgene Corporation in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware seeking a declaratory judgment that four of the Company’s own patents, claiming certain uses of romidepsin were invalid and not infringed by Celgene’s sale of ISTODAX® (romidepsin for injection). The Company subsequently counterclaimed for infringement of these four patents.  On April 3, 2013, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Celgene to sell to Celgene the four Cyclacel-owned patents related to uses of romidepsin and their foreign counterparts. In connection with the definitive agreement, Celgene has made a one-time payment of $5.5 million to Cyclacel. As a result, the litigation between Cyclacel and Celgene in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, case number 1:10-cv-00348-GMS, was dismissed by virtue of a jointly filed stipulation  requesting the Court to enter an Order dismissing the litigation and the entry of such an Order. The Company completed an evaluation of the impact of any subsequent events through the date financial statements were issued and determined there were no other subsequent events requiring disclosure in or adjustment to these financial statements.
