NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
Note 1 - Organization
 
Alliqua, Inc., formerly Hepalife Technologies, Inc., (“Alliqua” or the "Company"), a public company, is a Florida corporation formed on October 21, 1997.  On December 20, 2010, the Company changed its name to Alliqua, Inc.
 
AquaMed Technologies, Inc. (“AquaMed”) is a Delaware corporation formed on January 13, 2009. On May 11, 2010, Alliqua consummated a merger (the “Merger”) whereby Alliqua acquired all of the issued and outstanding common and preferred shares of AquaMed, a privately-held Delaware corporation. As a result of the transaction, the former owners of AquaMed became the controlling stockholders of Alliqua. Accordingly, the merger of AquaMed and Alliqua has been accounted for as a reverse business combination in which AquaMed is deemed to be the accounting acquirer.  Pursuant to the Merger, the Company has restated its statements of stockholders’ equity on a recapitalization basis, so that all accounts are now presented as if the reverse merger had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.
 
The Company is a biomedical company that does business through the following wholly owned subsidiaries:

 
AquaMed, which was incorporated in Delaware on January 13, 2009. Through AquaMed, the Company develops, manufactures and markets high water content, electron beam cross-linked, aqueous polymer hydrogels (“gels”) used for wound care, medical diagnostics, transdermal drug delivery and cosmetics.

 
Alliqua Biomedical, Inc. (“Alliqua Biomedical”), which was incorporated in Delaware on October 27, 2010. Through Alliqua Biomedical, the Company focuses on the development of proprietary products for wound care dressings and a core transdermal delivery technology platform designed to deliver drugs and other beneficial ingredients through the skin.  The Company intends to market its own branded lines of prescription and over-the-counter (“OTC”) wound care products, as well as to supply products to developers and distributors of prescription and OTC wound healing products for redistribution to healthcare professionals and retailers through Alliqua Biomedical.

 
HepaLife Biosystems, Inc. (“HepaLife”), which was incorporated in Nevada on April 17, 2007. Through HepaLife, the Company focuses on the development of a cell-based bioartificial liver system, HepaMate™, a potentially lifesaving treatment for liver failure patients.  The technology has previously been successfully tested in a clinical phase I study.  As an extracorporeal cell-based bioartificial liver system, HepaMate™ is designed to combine blood detoxification with liver cell therapy to provide whole liver function in patients with the most severe forms of liver failure.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance date of this Form 10-Q.  Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2011.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Liquidity
 
At June 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,521,374, excluding $150 of restricted cash, compared to $1,393,727 at December 31, 2010, excluding $362,546 of restricted cash held in escrow. The increase of $127,647 was attributable to $990,000 received from the issuance of common stock, and the decrease in restricted cash of $362,396 less cash used in operating activities of $1,204,092 and capital expenditures of $20,657. The Company has experienced negative operating cash flows since inception and has funded its operations primarily from sales of common stock and other securities. The Company believes its cash balances and anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements over the next twelve months.
 
The Company will require additional capital in order to execute the longer term aspects of its business plan, including additional research and development efforts related to HepaMate™.  The Company may pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including joint ventures, debt financing, equity financing or other means.  There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in a timely fashion or at all.  Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to existing stockholders and, the terms of securities we issue may be more favorable for new investors.  Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have additional dilutive effects.  Further, the Company may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs.  The Company may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities it may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact the Company’s financial condition.
 
If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or encounters unforeseen circumstances that place constraints on its capital resources, it will be required to take various measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but are not necessarily limited to, curtailing business development activities or suspending the pursuit of the Company’s business plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing additional capital, if needed.
 
Acquired In-Process Research and Development (“IPR&D”)
 
In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company recognizes IPR&D at fair value as of the acquisition date, and subsequently accounts for it as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Once an IPR&D project has been completed, the useful life of the IPR&D asset is determined and amortized accordingly. If the IPR&D asset is abandoned, the remaining carrying value is written off. During fiscal year 2010, the Company acquired IPR&D through the Merger.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of the underlying assets and liabilities. The Company establishes a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when it determines that it is more likely than not that the benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded a deferred income tax provision caused principally by current income tax deductions related to the amortization of goodwill over a 15 year life for tax purposes that have not been recognized for financial reporting purposes.
 
Management has performed an evaluation and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2011.
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
Research and development expenses represent costs incurred to develop technology. Research and development expenses are charged to operations as they are incurred, including internal costs, costs paid to sponsoring organizations, and contract services for any third party laboratory work. Research and development expenses are not tracked by project.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
 
Net Loss Per Common Share
 
Basic net loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented on a recapitalization basis in accordance with the Merger.  Common stock equivalents, consisting of warrants and stock options, were not included in the calculation of the diluted loss per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
 
Potentially dilutive securities outlined in the table below have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
 
The total common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants are as follows:
 
   
June 30,

Total Common Shares Issuable
   
32,437,201
     
 13,409,773
 
 
Intangible Assets
 
The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other”.  ASC Topic 350 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Subject to Amortization
 
The Company amortizes intangible assets with finite lives over their estimated useful lives and reviews them for impairment whenever an impairment indicator exists. The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets, including intangible assets that may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, the Company assesses recoverability by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through the undiscounted expected future cash flows. If future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, the Company will recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. The Company did not recognize any intangible asset impairment charges for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
 
Goodwill
 
The Company reviews its goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently, if facts and circumstances warrant a review. Goodwill is assigned on the date of acquisition. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment by comparing fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including the associated goodwill. To determine fair value, the Company uses the market approach based on comparable publicly traded companies in similar lines of business and the income approach based on estimated discounted future cash flows.  The cash flow assumptions consider historical and forecasted revenue, operating costs and other relevant factors. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges for goodwill for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, lines of credit and other liabilities approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.  
 
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”  ASC Topic 820 clarifies that fair value should be measured as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.  As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Continued
 
Level 1:  Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2:  Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3:  Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity.
 
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  
 
ASC Topic 825, “Fair Value Option” permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates.  Subsequent unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings.
 
Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements
 
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  These estimates and assumptions include valuing equity securities and derivative financial instruments issued in financing transactions, accounts receivable reserves, inventory reserves, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances, and estimating the fair values of long lived assets to assess whether impairment charges may be necessary.  The Company re-evaluates its accounting estimates at least quarterly and records adjustments, when necessary.
 
Reclassification
 
Prior period amounts are reclassified, when necessary, to conform to the current period presentation.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2010-28, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). Under Topic 350, testing for goodwill impairment is a two-step test. When a goodwill impairment test is performed (either on an annual or interim basis), an entity must assess whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value (Step 1). If it does, an entity must perform an additional test to determine whether goodwill has been impaired and to calculate the amount of that impairment (Step 2). The amendments in this update modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs." This ASU addresses fair value measurement and disclosure requirements within Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820 for the purpose of providing consistency and common meaning between U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Generally, this ASU is not intended to change the application of the requirements in Topic 820. Rather, this ASU primarily changes the wording to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  It is not expected to have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Technology includes IPR&D of $8,100,000 which represents patented biotech technologies (acquired from Alliqua in the Merger) which currently have no commercial use. The value assigned to these technologies is considered an indefinite-lived intangible asset and is not subject to amortization until its useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite. IPR&D assets are evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. As of June 30, 2011 there were no indicators that required us to perform an intangible assets impairment review, therefore, we did not record an impairment charge for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
 
The Company recorded amortization expense related to the acquired amortizable intangibles of $87,500 and $175,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $87,500 and $175,000 for the same periods in 2010, respectively.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2011, as amended.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “AquaMed,” “we,” “our” and “us” for periods prior to the closing of the merger on May 11, 2010 refer to AquaMed Technologies, Inc., a privately held Delaware corporation that is now our wholly-owned subsidiary, and references to the “Company,” “Alliqua,” “we,” “our” and “us” for periods subsequent to the closing of the merger on May 11, 2010, refer to Alliqua, Inc., a Florida corporation, and its subsidiaries.

Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements,” which include information relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment and regulation. Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not be accurate indications of when such performance or results will actually be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements are made or our management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.  Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

 
adverse economic conditions, including intense competition;

 
loss of a key customer or supplier;

 
lack of meaningful research results;
  
 
entry of new competitors and products;

 
adverse federal, state and local government regulation;

 
inadequate capital;

 
technological obsolescence of our products;

 
technical problems with our research and products;

 
price increases for supplies and components;

 
inability to carry out research, development and commercialization plans;

 
loss or retirement of key executives and research scientists;

 
impairment of goodwill and intangibles; and
 
 
the uncertainty regarding the adequacy of our liquidity to pursue our complete business objectives.

When considering our forward-looking statements, keep in mind the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011.

Overview
 
On May 11, 2010, we consummated a merger (the “Merger”) with AquaMed Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AquaMed”), pursuant to which we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of AquaMed in exchange for 85 million shares of our common stock, which represented approximately 45% of our voting control. In connection with the Merger, our sole officer resigned and was replaced by designees of AquaMed. In addition, in connection with the Merger, a majority of Alliqua’s directors resigned and were replaced by designees of AquaMed. As a result, the Merger has been accounted for as a reverse business combination in which AquaMed was deemed to be the accounting acquirer and AquaMed’s historical financial statements for periods prior to the Merger have become our historical financial statements.  Operations reported for periods prior to the Merger are those of AquaMed.

We are a biomedical company that does business through the following wholly owned subsidiaries:

 
AquaMed, which was incorporated in Delaware on January 13, 2009. Through AquaMed, we develop, manufacture and market high water content, electron beam cross-linked, aqueous polymer hydrogels (“gels”) used for wound care, medical diagnostics, transdermal drug delivery and cosmetics.
 
 
Alliqua Biomedical, Inc. (“Alliqua Biomedical”), which was incorporated in Delaware on October 27, 2010. Through Alliqua Biomedical, we focus on the development of proprietary products for wound care dressings and a core transdermal delivery technology platform designed to deliver drugs and other beneficial ingredients through the skin.  We intend to market our own branded lines of prescription and over-the-counter (“OTC”) wound care products, as well as to supply products to developers and distributors of prescription and OTC wound healing products for redistribution to healthcare professionals and retailers through Alliqua Biomedical.

 
HepaLife Biosystems, Inc. (“HepaLife”), which was incorporated in Nevada on April 17, 2007. Through HepaLife, we focus on the development of a cell-based bioartificial liver system, HepaMate™, a potentially lifesaving treatment for liver failure patients.  The technology has previously been successfully tested in a clinical phase I study.  As an extracorporeal cell-based bioartificial liver system, HepaMate™ is designed to combine blood detoxification with liver cell therapy to provide whole liver function in patients with the most severe forms of liver failure.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and related disclosures. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis.

We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made; and changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been made could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. We believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:
 
Revenue Recognition

Alliqua applies the revenue recognition principles in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 605, “Revenue Recognition”. Accordingly, we record revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

Research and Development Expenses
 
Research and development expenses represent costs incurred to develop our technology. We charge all research and development expenses to operations as they are incurred, including internal costs, costs paid to sponsoring organizations, and contract services for any third party laboratory work. We do not track research and development expenses by project.

Acquired In-Process Research and Development (“IPR&D”)
 
In accordance with authoritative guidance, we recognize IPR&D at fair value as of the acquisition date, and subsequently account for it as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Once an IPR&D project has been completed, the useful life of the IPR&D asset is determined and amortized accordingly. If the IPR&D asset is abandoned, the remaining carrying value is written off. During fiscal year 2010, we acquired IPR&D through the Merger. Our IPR&D is comprised of the HepaMate technology, which was valued on the date of the Merger.  It will take additional financial resources to continue development of this technology.  Although we believe that the HepaMate technology has significant long-term profit potential, to date, management has made a decision to allocate existing resources to the manufacture, research and development of other products which it expects will have more immediate returns on investment.  We continue to seek additional capital for further development of HepaMate.  Through June 30, 2011, we have not been successful in these fund raising efforts.  If we choose to abandon these efforts, or if we determine that such funding is not available, the related IPR&D will be subject to significant impairment.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Subject to Amortization

We amortize intangible assets with finite lives over their estimated useful lives and review them for impairment whenever an impairment indicator exists. We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of our long-lived assets, including our intangible assets, may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, we assess recoverability by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through the undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. We did not recognize any intangible asset impairment charges for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 or for the six month period ended June 30, 2010. See "Acquired In-Process Research and Development ("IPR&D")" for further information.

Goodwill

We review our goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently, if facts and circumstances warrant a review. We completed our annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and determined that there was no impairment.

Goodwill is assigned on the date of acquisition. We evaluate goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including the associated goodwill. To determine fair value, we use the market approach based on comparable publicly traded companies in similar lines of business and the income approach based on estimated discounted future cash flows. Our cash flow assumptions consider historical and forecasted revenue, operating costs and other relevant factors.
 
At the Merger date, $9,386,000 of goodwill was allocated to HepaMateTM. As discussed above under "Acquired In-Process Research and Development ("IPR&D")", it will take additional resources to continue development of HepaMateTM.  If we choose to abandon our efforts to raise capital to develop HepaMateTM, or if we determine that such funding is not available, the related goodwill could be subject to significant impairment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
We measure fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. We utilize a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
 
Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access. We have no assets or liabilities valued with Level 1 inputs.
 
Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. We have no assets or liabilities valued with Level 2 inputs.
 
Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
 
Results of Operations

Revenues

Product sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 increased 107% and 96% to $848,228 and $1,251,620, respectively, as compared to $410,167 and $639,576, respectively, for the same periods in 2010. Increased product sales reflect higher sales of our hydrogel products, predominately due to increased sales volume to our largest customer.

We anticipate that our product sales will level off for the rest of 2011 more closely to historical levels, and will remain insufficient to support our operations at expected spending levels.  We will continue to incur an operating loss through the end of the fourth quarter in 2011.

Gross Profit (Loss)
 
Gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $304,077 and $210,862, respectively, as compared to a loss of $55,019 and $270,907, respectively, for the same periods in 2010. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 36% and 17% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 respectively,compared to a gross loss of 13% and 42% for the same periods in 2010. The more favorable gross profit percentages for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010 was primarily due to the higher sales levels and similar levels of fixed overhead expenses.  Our gross profit or loss may fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on the mix and volume of products sold in any given period. Depreciation of equipment and amortization of technology included in cost of goods sold for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $156,272 and $312,380, respectively, up slightly from $155,140 and $311,362, respectively, for the same periods in 2010.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were $821,127 and $2,757,453, respectively, as compared to $259,863 and $437,224 for the same periods in 2010. The increase in expenses compared to the prior year was primarily due to higher administrative personnel costs associated with an increase in management positions and quality assurance personnel, higher marketing and advertising costs, higher consulting costs and professional fees, and non-cash stock based compensation expense of $178,593 and $1,488,891 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 respectively. As a result, general and administrative expenses were 97% and 220% of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 respectively, as compared to 63% and 68% for the same periods in 2010.  The non-cash stock based compensation expense recognized in the first quarter of 2011 accounts for the difference between the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2011.
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
We incurred $139,413 and $272,029 of research and development expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to no research and development expenses during the same periods in 2010. We expect research and development expenses to remain at this past quarter’s level or increase as we continue to develop and maintain new hydrogel products.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
General

At June 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,521,374, excluding $150 of restricted cash held in escrow, compared to $1,393,727 at December 31, 2010, excluding $362,546 of restricted cash held in escrow.  The increase of $127,647 was attributable to $990,000 received from the issuance of 6,250,000 shares of common stock in March 2011, the decrease in restricted cash of $362,396 less cash used in operating activities of $1,204,092 and capital expenditures of $20,657.  The use of cash in operating activities is primarily attributable to compensation, materials, legal & professional fees and research and development.
                      
In March 2011, we issued 6,250,000 shares of common stock and a five year warrant to purchase 6,250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.17 per share for net proceeds of $990,000. The warrant was exercisable immediately for cash or by way of a cashless exercise.  On May 2, 2011, 2,502,205 shares of common stock were issued upon the non-cash exercise of the warrants in full. In connection with this private placement, we paid a placement agent $10,000 and issued the placement agent 437,500 shares of common stock valued at $91,875 and a five year warrant to purchase 312,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share.

We have experienced negative operating cash flows since inception and have funded our operations primarily from sales of common stock and other securities. We believe our current cash balances and anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements over the next twelve months.
                
We will require additional capital in order to execute the longer term aspects of our business plan, including the further development of HepaMate™.  We may pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including joint ventures, debt financing, equity financing or other means.  There is no assurance that we will be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in a timely fashion or at all. Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to existing stockholders and, the terms of securities we issue may be more favorable for new investors.  Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have additional dilutive effects.  Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs.  We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition.

If we are unable to raise additional capital or encounter unforeseen circumstances that place constraints on our capital resources, we will be required to take various measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but are not necessarily limited to, curtailing our business development activities, abandoning the development of HepaMate™ or suspending the pursuit of our business plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing additional capital, if needed. In addition, if we choose to abandon our efforts to raise capital to develop the HepaMateTM technology, or if we determine that such funding is not available, the recorded value of the related intangibles and goodwill will be subject to significant impairment.  See “Acquired In-Process Research and Development,” “Impairment of Long–Lived Assets Subject to Amortization” and “Goodwill” for additional information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-28, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)”. Under Topic 350, testing for goodwill impairment is a two-step test. When a goodwill impairment test is performed (either on an annual or interim basis), an entity must assess whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value (Step 1). If it does, an entity must perform an additional test to determine whether goodwill has been impaired and to calculate the amount of that impairment (Step 2). The amendments in this update modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements or disclosures
.
In May 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs." This ASU addresses fair value measurement and disclosure requirements within Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820 for the purpose of providing consistency and common meaning between U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Generally, this ASU is not intended to change the application of the requirements in Topic 820. Rather, this ASU primarily changes the wording to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  It is not expected to have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management’s Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2011, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and participation of management including our president and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Based upon this evaluation, our president and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2011.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
 
In March 2011, we issued 6,250,000 shares of common stock and a five year warrant to purchase 6,250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.17 per share for net proceeds of $990,000. The warrant was exercisable immediately for cash or by way of a cashless exercise. On May 2, 2011, 2,502,205 shares of common stock were issued upon the non-cash exercise of the warrants in full.  The shares were issued to Frost Gamma Investments Trust.  These shares were offered and sold in reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The recipient represented to us that it was an accredited investor (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and that it was acquiring the securities solely for its own account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with a distribution.
