    </i></b></p>
<p style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">
On August 1 and 25, 2014, persons claiming to be Galectin
shareholders filed putative shareholder derivative complaints in
the Nevada District Court, seeking recovery on behalf of the
Company against certain of the Company’s directors and
officers. On September 10, 2014, the Nevada District Court
entered an order consolidating the two cases, relieving the
defendants of any obligation to respond to the initial complaints,
and providing that defendants may respond to a consolidated
complaint to be filed by the plaintiffs. On January 5, 2015,
the Nevada District Court granted Defendants’ motion to
transfer the consolidated putative derivative litigation to the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia
(hereinafter referred to as the “Georgia Federal Derivative
Action.”). The plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on
February 27, 2015. On April 6, 2015, the Company and
defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated complaint.
Rather than respond to those motions, the plaintiffs sought and
obtained leave to file an amended complaint. Plaintiffs filed their
amended complaint (the “Complaint”) on May 26,
2015. The Complaint alleges that certain of the Company’s
directors and officers (the “Derivative Action Individual
Defendants”) breached their fiduciary duties to the
Company’s shareholders by causing or permitting the Company
to make allegedly false and misleading public statements concerning
the Company’s financial and business prospects. The Complaint
also alleges that the Derivative Action Individual Defendants
violated the federal securities laws by allegedly making false or
misleading statements of material fact in the Company’s proxy
filings, committed waste of corporate assets, were unjustly
enriched, and that certain defendants breached their fiduciary
duties through allegedly improper sales of Galectin stock. In
addition, the Complaint alleges that the Derivative Action
Individual Defendants and one of the Company’s shareholders
aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The
Complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the
Company, corporate governance reforms, disgorgement of profits,
benefits and compensation by the defendants, costs, and
attorneys’ and experts’ fees. The Company and
defendants filed motions to dismiss the Complaint on July 8,
2015. On December 30, 2015, the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Georgia dismissed the Georgia Federal
Derivative Action with prejudice and entered a final judgment in
favor of the defendants. Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal
seeking review of the dismissal order and final judgment. On
July 7, 2016, the United States Court of Appeals for the
Eleventh Circuit dismissed the appeal as the Plaintiffs failed to
timely file their appeal brief. In September 2016, the Board
received a demand letter from one of the plaintiffs in the Georgia
Federal Derivative Action. The demand letter, among other things,
requests that the Board investigate the conduct alleged in the
Complaint and implement certain remedial measures purportedly
designed to address the alleged conduct. It is expected that the
Board will consider the demand letter in due course and in light of
the related pending shareholder litigation described herein.</p>
<p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">
On August 29, 2014, another alleged Galectin shareholder filed
a putative shareholder derivative complaint in state court in Las
Vegas, Nevada, seeking recovery on behalf of the Company against
the same Galectin directors and officers who are named as
defendants in the derivative litigation pending in the Georgia
Federal Derivative Action. The plaintiff in the Nevada action
subsequently filed first and second amended complaints. The second
amended complaint alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duties,
unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets, based on
allegations that are substantially similar to those asserted in the
Georgia Federal Derivative Action (except that the Nevada action
does not allege violations of the federal securities laws and does
not assert any claim against the Galectin shareholder named as a
defendant in the Georgia Federal Derivative Action), and seeks
unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the Company, corporate
governance reforms, disgorgement of profits, benefits and
compensation by the defendants, costs, and attorneys’ and
experts’ fees. The Company and defendants filed motions to
dismiss the second amended complaint on April 22, 2015. On
April 29, 2015, the plaintiffs in the Georgia Federal
Derivative Action (the “Intervenor Plaintiffs”) filed a
motion to intervene in the Nevada action which, among other things,
raised questions regarding the Nevada plaintiff’s standing.
Thereafter, the Nevada plaintiff filed a motion to join additional
plaintiffs. At a hearing held on June 11, 2015, the Nevada
court: (i) granted the Intervenor Plaintiffs’ motion to
intervene; (ii) directed the Intervenor Plaintiffs to file a
complaint in intervention; (iii) directed the Nevada plaintiff
to file a motion for leave to file a further amended complaint to
add additional plaintiffs; (iv) stated that the
defendants’ motions to dismiss the second amended complaint
were denied “at this point;” (v) ordered the Nevada
action stayed until December 11 , 2015; and (vi) directed
the parties to submit a status report on December 11, 2015,
updating the court on the progress and status of the Georgia
Federal Derivative Action. On July 9, 2015, pursuant to the
Nevada State Court’s instruction, the Intervenor Plaintiffs
filed a <font style="white-space:nowrap"><font style="white-space:nowrap">complaint-in-intervention</font></font> in
Nevada State Court, asserting similar claims to the ones they
alleged in the Georgia Federal Derivative Action described above.
On December 11, 2015, further to the Nevada State
Court’s instruction, the parties submitted status reports
detailing the status of the Georgia Federal Derivative Action. On
January 5, 2016, the Nevada State Court held a status
conference during which the dismissal of the Georgia Federal
Derivative Action was discussed. Subsequent to that conference, on
January 19, 2016, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the
Nevada State Court litigation based on the dismissal of the similar
Georgia Federal Derivative Action, among other grounds. Following
full briefing and a hearing on March 3, 2016, the Nevada State
Court granted dismissal of the Nevada State Court litigation.
Notice of Entry of the Nevada State Court’s order dismissing
the Nevada State Court litigation was docketed on June 21,
2016. The Nevada plaintiff and Intervenor Plaintiffs
(“Appellants”) have filed notices of appeal seeking
review of the Nevada State Court’s dismissal order. It is
expected that the appeal will be fully briefed in May 2017.</p>

Estimating an amount or range of possible losses resulting from
litigation proceedings is inherently difficult and requires an
extensive degree of judgment, particularly where the matters
involve indeterminate claims for monetary damages, are in the early
stages of the proceedings, and are subject to appeal. In addition,
because most legal proceedings are resolved over extended periods
of time, potential losses are subject to change due to, among other
things, new developments, changes in legal strategy, the outcome of
intermediate procedural and substantive rulings and other
parties’ settlement posture and their evaluation of the
strength or weakness of their case against us. For these reasons,
we are currently unable to predict the ultimate timing or outcome
of, or reasonably estimate the possible losses or a range of
possible losses resulting from, the matters described above. Based
on information currently available, the Company does not believe
that any reasonably possible losses arising from currently pending
legal matters will be material to the Company’s results of
operations or financial condition. However, in light of the
inherent uncertainties involved in such matters, an adverse outcome
in one or more of these matters could materially and adversely
affect the Company’s financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.</p>

<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
In January 2014, we created Galectin Sciences, LLC (the
“LLC” or “Investee”), a collaborative joint
venture <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">co-owned</font> by SBH
Sciences, Inc. (“SBH”), to research and develop small
organic molecule inhibitors of <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">galectin-3</font> for oral administration.
The LLC was initially capitalized with a $400,000 cash investment
to fund future research and development activities, which was
provided by the Company, and specific <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">in-process</font> research and development
(“IPR&D”) contributed by SBH. The estimated
fair value of the IPR&D contributed by SBH, on the date of
contribution, was $400,000. Initially, the Company and SBH
have a 50% equity ownership interest in the LLC, with neither party
having control over the LLC. Accordingly, from inception
through the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company accounted for its
investment in the LLC using the equity method of
accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the
Company’s investment was initially recorded at cost with
subsequent adjustments to the carrying value to recognize
additional investments in or distributions from the Investee, as
well as the Company’s share of the Investee’s earnings,
losses and/or changes in capital. The estimated fair value of the
IPR&D contributed to the LLC was immediately expensed upon
contribution as there was no alternative future use available at
the point of contribution. The operating agreement provides
that if either party does not desire to contribute its equal share
of funding required after the initial capitalization, then the
other party, providing all of the funding, will have its ownership
share increased in proportion to the total amount contributed from
inception. In the fourth quarter of 2014, after the LLC had
expended the $400,000 in cash, SBH decided not to contribute its
share of the funding required. As a result, the Company contributed
the $73,000 needed for the fourth quarter of 2014 expenses of the
LLC. The Company contributed $659,000 and $687,000 for the LLC
expenses in 2016 and 2015, respectively, and SBH contributed
$50,000 in 2016. The Company contributed $45,000 during the quarter
ended March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, the
Company’s ownership percentage in the LLC was 80.7%. The
Company accounts for the interest in the LLC as a consolidated,
less than wholly owned subsidiary. Because the LLC’s equity
is immaterial, the value of the <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">non-controlling</font> interest is also
deemed to be immaterial.</p>

Galectin Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company”) is a
clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that is applying its
leadership in galectin science and drug development to create new
therapies for fibrotic disease, skin diseases and cancer. These
candidates are based on the Company’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.</p>

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as
reported in this Quarterly Report on Form <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">10-Q</font> reflect all adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2017 and the
results of its operations for the three months ended March 31,
2017 and 2016 and its cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 2017 and 2016. All adjustments made to the interim
financial statements include all those of a normal and recurring
nature. Amounts presented in the condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 2016 are derived from the Company’s
audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for complete financial statements. The Company considers
events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but
before the financial statements are issued to provide additional
evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that
require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been
evaluated through the date these financial statements are available
to be issued. The results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results which may be expected for any other interim
period or for the full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction
with its Annual Report on Form <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">10-K</font> for the year ended
December 31, 2016.</p>

The Company has operated at a loss since its inception and has had
no significant revenues. The Company anticipates that losses will
continue for the foreseeable future. At March 31, 2017, the
Company had $13.6 million of unrestricted cash and cash
equivalents available to fund future operations. The Company
believes that with the cash on hand at March 31, 2017, there
is sufficient cash to fund currently planned operations through
December 31, 2017. The Company’s ability to fund
operations after its current cash resources are exhausted depends
on its ability to obtain additional financing or achieve profitable
operations, as to which no assurances can be given. Accordingly,
based on the forecasts and estimates underlying the Company’s
current operating plan, the financial statements do not currently
include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is
unable to continue as a going concern.</p>

<i>2014 At Market Issuance of Common Stock</i></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt">
On March 30, 2014, the Company entered into an At Market
Issuance Sales Agreement (the “2014 At Market
Agreement”) with a sales agent under which the Company may
issue and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate
offering price of up to $30.0 million from time to time
through the sales agent. Sales of the Company’s common stock
through the sales agent, if any, will be made by any method that is
deemed an “at the market” offering as defined by the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company will pay to
the sales agent a commission rate equal to 3.0% of the gross
proceeds from the sale of any shares of common stock sold through
the sales agent under the 2014 At Market Agreement. In three months
ended March 31, 2017, the Company issued 1,496,797 shares of
common stock for net proceeds of approximately $1,945,000 under the
2014 At Market Agreement.</p>

<i>2017 Private Placement</i></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt">
On February 28, 2017, the Company closed a transaction with
five individual investors through a private placement of common
stock and warrants. In total, the Company issued 102,368 shares of
common stock for proceeds of $200,000. The Company also issued, to
the five investors, warrants to purchase 76,776 shares of common
stock at $5.00 per share. The warrants have an expiration date of
February 28, 2024. The exercise price of each warrant is
adjustable in the event of a stock split or stock combination,
capital reorganization, merger or similar event. The warrants were
valued at approximately $101,000 as of the issuance, using the
closing price of $1.86, a life of 7 years, a volatility of 97% and
a risk free interest rate of 1.92%. Based upon the Company’s
analysis of the criteria contained in ASC Topic <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">815-40,</font> “Derivatives and Hedging
— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” the Company
has determined that warrants issued in connection with this
financing transaction were not derivative liabilities and
therefore, were recorded as additional <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">paid-in</font> capital.</p>

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net
loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net
loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common shares and other potential common shares then outstanding.
Potential common shares consist of common shares issuable upon the
assumed exercise of <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap"><font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">in-the-money</font></font> stock options and
warrants and potential common shares related to the conversion of
the preferred stock. The computation of diluted net loss per share
does not assume the issuance of common shares that have an
anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share.</p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
Dilutive shares which could exist pursuant to the exercise of
outstanding stock instruments and which were not included in the
calculation because their affect would have been anti-dilutive are
as follows:</p>
