Description of Business

AquaMed Products and Services

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. AquaMed is believed to be one of only two known manufacturers of these gels in the world, and it specializes in custom gels by capitalizing on proprietary manufacturing technologies.

AquaMed’s gels can be used for transdermal and intradermal delivery of medication, components in certain medical devices, wound/burn dressings with or without active ingredients, topical application of non-prescription drugs, skin care treatments, cosmetics and other commercial products.

AquaMed’s products are manufactured using proprietary and non-proprietary mixing, coating and cross-linking technologies. Together, these technologies enable AquaMed to produce gels that can satisfy rigid tolerance specifications with respect to a wide range of physical characteristics (e.g., thickness, water content, adherence, absorption, vapor transmission, release rates) while maintaining product integrity. Additionally, AquaMed has the manufacturing ability to offer broad choices in selection of liners. Consequently, AquaMed’s customers are able to determine tolerances in vapor transmission and active ingredient release rates while personalizing color and texture.

The Hydrogel Industry. Hydrogels are currently being marketed in the U.S. and abroad for the following applications:

Drug Delivery. Delivering medication through hydrogel patches has important advantages over traditional methods of drug delivery. Hydrogel patches are less intrusive, painless, allow for preplanned medication time periods, can potentially release medication in a manner consistent with the body’s own glandular activity (by avoiding dosage spikes and/or digestive alteration), and minimize side effects related to the medication via injection or ingestion.

Other Medical Applications. Hydrogel patches are being used for transdermal applications such as hormone replacement therapy and contraception, treatment of acne, shingles, diabetes, motion sickness, treatment of angina with nitroglycerin, treatment of smoking addiction using nicotine and palliatives (i.e., pain relievers).

Non-Prescription Therapeutic Applications. Hydrogel patches are also used in the medical community, and also directly marketed to consumers for topical application of over the counter (“OTC”) drugs such as non-prescription acne treatments, pain relievers, diet preparations, cough suppressants, treatment of warts, calluses and corns, and pain relief.

Moist Wound and Burn Dressings. Hydrogel dressings have long been used for treating wounds and burns. Clinical trials have demonstrated the benefits of moist wound healing versus traditional dressings. Some of these benefits include immediate anti-inflammatory effects, allowing for freer cell flow and less scarring, increased absorption of exudate, and accelerated healing. According to a Smith & Nephew presentation entitled “Advanced Wound Management in Europe” from an Investor and Analyst Meeting held on November 20, 2009, the current market for advanced wound management is estimated to be in excess of $5 billion worldwide and growing at 7% per year.

§	Components of Medical Devices. Several medical devices utilize hydrogels as components. These devices include active drug delivery systems such as iontophoresis, warming and cooling devices, and medical electrodes.

§	Cosmetic Applications. Hydrogel patches and applications can deliver cosmetic skin care products to consumers and skin care providers for uses that include moisturizers, face masks, cooling masks and applicators.

AquaMed’s Customers and Markets

Moist Wound Healing. Through Alliqua Biomedical, AquaMed intends to market its own branded lines of prescription and 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. The benefits of AquaMed’s hydrogel wound healing products include reduced scarring and pain, greater speed of healing and increased absorption of exudate. AquaMed believes that the markets for its wound healing products will continue to expand due to the growing recognition by professionals and consumers of the benefits of moist wound healing.

Medical Device Manufacturers. AquaMed has identified and targeted manufacturers of high quality medical devices (such as monitoring electrodes and devices and defibrillator pads) as a core segment of its future revenue streams.

Transdermal Delivery of Prescription Drugs and OTC Treatments. Alliqual Biomedical currently is in the process of developing a generic pain patch for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia (“PHN”). PHN is associated with shingles, which is a rising medical problem in the U.S. and around the world as countries continue to struggle with increasingly elderly populations. Management estimates that the total U.S. market for pain management pharmaceuticals, exclusive of over-the-counter products, totaled in excess of $20 billion in 2009, with the market for the existing prescription pain patch in excess of $1 billion in the U.S. alone. According to the Center for Disease Control, approximately 1 million cases of shingles occur in the U.S. annually, and approximately 20% of shingles cases result in PHN (see http://www.cdc.gov/shingles/about/overview.html, last visited on March 28, 2011). Alliqua’s patch technology enables the delivery of drugs and active ingredients directly through the stratum corneum, avoiding “first pass” of the digestive system and the liver. In addition to selling products to manufacturers and distributors of non-prescription medication, AquaMed actively seeks new applications for transdermal delivery (i) through patches that adhere to the skin and are impregnated with active ingredients and (ii) through iontophoresis, that provides greater control of and drives active ingredients through skin using controlled electrical currents. AquaMed is also actively involved in other various development projects that use hydrogels in transdermal delivery of specific ingredients.

Cosmetics and Other Consumer Products. AquaMed also manufactures hydrogels, hydrogel patches and hydrogel products which have been used by some of the leading U.S. cosmetics companies. These products include OTC skin care preparation and other products for cosmetic use.

Direct Retailing. AquaMed currently is exploring various co-branding opportunities for the manufacture and distribution of OTC therapeutic, skin care and cosmetic hydrogel products through such retailers as chain drug, food and mass merchandise stores.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, four major customers accounted for approximately 91% of revenue, with each customer individually accounting for 38%, 22%, 21% and 10%, respectively. Four major customers accounted for approximately 82% of the revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009, with each customer individually accounting for 30%, 22%, 18% and 12%, respectively.

Technology and Manufacturing

Hydrogels are manufactured by introducing a hydrophilic polymer into water to create a feed mix. The feed mix is then coated on to a liner and exposed to radiation. The polymers used by AquaMed, when exposed to radiation, cross link faster than they degrade, creating a matrix that gives the gels a solid form. Active ingredients such as prescription or OTC medication, skin care, wound healing or other materials can be added before or after cross-linking. Materials that do not survive the irradiation process (or are modified thereby) are added after the cross-linking process is completed. Once the products have been mixed and cross-linked they form sheets that can either be delivered directly to customers or first cut and shaped according to customer or our specifications, as appropriate. We believe that many of the processes described above are proprietary to AquaMed and provide AquaMed with competitive advantages.

Proprietary Technologies

Proprietary Mixing. We believe that AquaMed is able to manufacture hydrogel feed mixes with far greater homogeneity than those of its competition. This is critical, especially as it relates to dosages of active ingredients. In addition, AquaMed’s proprietary mixing technology allows for the incorporation of sensitive materials that may degrade if subjected to other types of mixing.

Proprietary Coating. AquaMed’s proprietary coating technology enables it to handle the gels properly even though they are extremely thick and resistant to flow. AquaMed has achieved coating tolerances that have allowed it to coat materials as thin as 0.005 inches with a margin for error of typically less than 5%. Thickness controls are critical with respect to the performance of many of the end products utilizing AquaMed’s hydrogels, including medical electrodes, transdermal delivery patches and cosmetic patches. AquaMed has also developed a coating methodology that minimizes imperfections such as wrinkling in the end product by significantly reducing line tension. AquaMed believes that this proprietary know-how allows AquaMed to manufacture high quality, consistent products which meet the standards of AquaMed’s customers.

Proprietary Cross-linking Technology. AquaMed cross-links its hydrogels using an electron beam accelerator. Such linking is achieved by introducing a high energy field, created by accelerated electrons, which causes the release of hydrogen atoms and causes carbon molecule covalent bonding. The creation of longer chains of the polymer in the gel increases its molecular integrity, giving the gel characteristics that make it useful in a variety of products.

AquaMed’s electron-beam cross-linking process is one of three types of cross-linking used in the industry. The other types used are ultra violent cross-linking and chemical cross-linking. The benefits of electron beam cross-linking include: (i) precise control of the amount of polymer cross-linking, (ii) no need for chemical cross-linking agents which may complicate or interfere with other additives or active ingredients and (iii) the ability to manufacture high quality hydrogels on a consistent basis.

The cross-linking of hydrogels can be further modified by varying the percent of polymer cross-linking and the way in which the high energy field is delivered. There are three variables in the use of an electron beam accelerator for cross-linking of hydrogels: (i) time of exposure of the target material to the electron stream, (ii) voltage (electrical potential), and (iii) amperage (strength of the electrical current). We believe that AquaMed's proprietary methods of managing these three variables make it possible to produce high quality gels that can match a wide range of customer specifications.

AquaMed owns and operates a Radiation Dynamics, Inc. Dynamitron IEA 1500-40 Industrial Electron Accelerator (the “RDI Accelerator”). The RDI Accelerator has been customized to handle the cross-linking of the type of materials AquaMed uses, but can also be used for several of the other potential uses such as coloring gemstones and treating wire, cable and tubing. Replacement cost of the RDI Accelerator and processing equipment is estimated to be in excess of $7 million. The delivery and installation process is time-consuming with replacement estimated to take 2.5 to 3 years. AquaMed estimates that its equipment has a useful life of approximately 10 years (useful life for depreciation) and provides annual production capacity in excess of 6,000 hours. We believe that AquaMed's current utilization is significantly less than capacity.

Using its RDI Accelerator, AquaMed performs contract irradiation services related to modifying certain materials for third parties, which accounts for less than 10% of our revenue. Products processed using these irradiation services include catheter tubing, sheet material and gemstones. These services are performed on an hourly basis, require minimal labor and typically do not require AquaMed to supply any materials.

Competition

We believe that AquaMed's manufacturing capabilities, along with the high barrier to entry (the substantial cost of acquiring an electron beam as compared to other cross-linking devices and the cost and extended time required for installing this beam) and current minimal level of competition for high performance gels, affords AquaMed the opportunity to be a leader in the applications that require tight tolerances and/or incorporate active ingredients. We believe that awareness of AquaMed's product, low cost, speed to market and manufacturing techniques, are advantages that will be conveyed to its customer base through a combination of consumer product entries, expansion within current original equipment manufacturer bases and institutional reach programs such as trade magazines, trade shows and through senior management contacts.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials; Principal Suppliers

AquaMed’s principal manufacturers for the two polymers that it primarily uses in the manufacture of its hydrogels, polyethylene oxide and polyvinylpyrrolidone, are the Dow Chemical Company and BASF, respectively. Although AquaMed has not experienced significant production delays attributable to supply changes, we believe that, for the polymers used to make AquaMed's current hydrogels, alternative sources of supply would be difficult to develop over a short period of time. Because AquaMed has no direct control over its third-party suppliers, interruptions or delays in the products and services provided by these third parties may be difficult to remedy in a timely fashion. In addition, if such suppliers are unable or unwilling to deliver the necessary raw materials or products, AquaMed may be unable to redesign or adapt its technology to work without such raw materials or products or find alternative suppliers or manufacturers. In such events, AquaMed could experience interruptions, delays, increased costs or quality control problems.

Patents, Proprietary Rights and Trademarks

AquaMed’s policy is to file patent applications to protect technology, inventions and improvements that are important to the development of its business. AquaMed also relies on trade secret protection for its confidential and proprietary information. AquaMed currently holds no issued patents or trademarks.

Alliqua Biomedical holds a registered trademark of the name “Hydress” as one of the proprietary products in development.

Alliqua holds registered trademarks for the names "HepaMate" and "HepaLife". Alliqua also has an exclusive license agreement with the USDA, ARS (Agricultural Research Service) for existing and future patents related to the PICM-19 hepatocyte cell lines.

HepaMate™ Bioartificial Liver System

We are developing HepaMate™ for patients with acute or severe liver failure. HepaMate™ is the most clinically-studied bioartificial liver with more than 50 scientific papers and book chapters published on the technology. Over 200 patients have participated in two clinical trials related to HepaMate™ in the U.S. and Europe.

HepaMate™ is an extracorporeal (outside the body), temporary liver support system designed to provide ‘whole’ liver function to patients with acute or severe liver failure. Unlike conventional technologies, which mechanically perform rudimentary filtration of a patient’s blood or partially detoxify blood by using albumin or sorbents, HepaMate™ combines the process of removing toxins from the patient’s blood (detoxification) with concurrent biologic liver cell therapy.

During HepaMate™ therapy, the patient’s plasma is first separated from whole blood, then exposed to the HepaMate™ bioartificial liver and, finally, returned to the patient. HepaMate™ is comprised of a blood plasma separation cartridge, a hollow-fiber bioreactor filled with proprietary porcine liver cells, a charcoal column, an oxygenator, and a plasma reservoir. These components are assembled into a patented blood/plasma circulation system, which is placed on our HepaDrive™ perfusion platform.

HepaMate™ is designed to provide whole liver function by using liver cells which are expected to remove toxins and produce albumin and other important liver-specific proteins. In order to easily and safely store and distribute our liver cells, we use a patented liver cell cryopreservation process which freezes the cells and allows for their prolonged storage. We believe our cryopreservation process provides us with a significant commercial and logistical advantage over technologies reliant upon the delivery of fresh cells which cannot typically be stored for prolonged periods and therefore, have shorter shelf-lifetimes than our cells used in HepaMate™.

We believe our HepaMate™ technology has significant value for its possible commercial opportunities, possible joint venture partnerships with health care companies, or by the outright sale of the technology. However, we are not currently investing any capital into HepaMate™ and it did not provide us with any revenue in 2010.

Government Regulation

Product Regulation. While some applications of the hydrogels fall under the jurisdiction of the FDA, the hydrogels are generally classified as Class I exempt devices and the majority of the hydrogel products that AquaMed manufactures are thereby exempt from the FDA filing of any regulatory submissions and/or pre-market notification requirements. To the extent that any FDA regulatory submissions are required, AquaMed will be required to file these submissions and maintain all appropriate documentation. With respect to registering the manufacturing facility with the FDA under the Code of Federal Regulations, 21CFR820.1, Scope: Part A, it is stated that the regulation does not apply to manufacturers of component parts of finished devices. Currently, hydrogels are sold as component parts to various medical device/cosmetic manufacturers. If at any time in the future AquaMed manufactures products that would require such filings or registration, AquaMed intends to take the appropriate steps to comply.

On May 17, 2010, we made a 510(k) submission to the FDA seeking a pre-market clearance for our silver-based antimicrobial wound dressing. We received initial comments from the FDA on June 22, 2010, to which we responded promptly. The FDA sent us another comment letter on January 19, 2011, and AquaMed intends to file its response within the required timeframe.

Reimbursement legislation, such as Medicaid, Medicare, and other programs, governs reimbursement levels. All pharmaceutical manufacturers rebate to individual states a percentage of their revenues arising from Medicaid-reimbursed drug sales. Generic drug manufacturers currently rebate an applicable percentage of the calculated average manufacturer price marketed under abbreviated new drug applications. We believe that the federal and state governments may continue to enact measures in the future aimed at reducing the cost of drugs and devices to the public. We cannot predict the nature of such measures or their impact on our profitability.

Environmental Regulation. We are subject to various laws and governmental regulations concerning environmental matters and employee safety and health in the U.S. and other countries. We have made, and continue to make, significant investments to comply with these laws and regulations. We cannot predict the future capital expenditures or operating costs required to comply with environmental laws and regulations. We believe that we are currently compliant with applicable environmental, health and safety requirements in all material respects. However, we cannot assure that that current or future regulatory, governmental, or private action will not have a material adverse effect on our performance, results or financial condition.

In the future, if a loss contingency related to environmental matters, employee safety, health or conditional asset retirement obligations is recognized, we would record a liability for the obligation and it may result in a material impact on net income for the annual or interim period during which the liability is recorded. The investigation and remediation of environmental obligations generally occur over an extended period of time, and therefore we do not know if these events would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity, or cash flow, nor can we assure you that such liabilities would not have a material adverse effect on our performance, results or financial condition.

Research and Development Costs

For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, we incurred research and development costs totaling $170,247, $66,587 of which are attributable to Alliqua, and $103,660 of which are attributable to AquaMed. AquaMed incurred no research and development costs during the 2009 fiscal year. (Alternatively, HepaLife incurred research and development costs of $185,081 during the 2009 fiscal year).

Employees

On December 31, 2010, we had 8 full-time employees and 4 part-time employees. Our employees are not represented by a labor union or other collective bargaining groups, and we consider relations with our employees to be good. To the best of our knowledge, none of our employees, officers or directors are bound by restrictive covenants from prior employers which would preclude them from providing services to us. We currently plan to retain and utilize the services of outside consultants for additional research, testing, regulatory, accounting, legal compliance and other services on an as needed basis.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

You should carefully consider the factors described below, among others, and other available information before deciding whether to invest in our shares or obligations. Any investment in our shares or obligations involves a high degree of risk. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or which we currently deem immaterial or which are similar to those faced by other companies in our industry or business in general, may also impair our business operations. As a result of any of the following risks, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. This report also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please refer to Item 7 below.

Risk Relating to Our Business

We have experienced significant losses and expect losses to continue for the foreseeable future.

We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. We have incurred annual operating losses of $3,098,053 and $763,806, respectively, during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. As of December 31, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of $3,861,859. As a result of the Merger, and since AquaMed has a history of net losses and may expect net losses for the foreseeable future, we expect to incur additional operating losses for the foreseeable future. Although sales and order backlogs have significantly grown in the first quarter of 2011, there can be no assurance that AquaMed will be able to sustain these revenues throughout the year or be profitable in the future.

We may not be able to continue without additional capital to fund our operations.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have a history of operating losses that are likely to continue in the future.

If we are unable to become profitable and cannot generate cash flow from our operating activities, we may be required to raise additional capital or debt to fund our operations. Such financing may be unavailable when needed or may not be available on acceptable terms. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our current stockholders will be reduced, and these securities may have rights superior to those of our common stock.

We may not be able to realize the entire book value of intangibles.

We assess intangibles quarterly for impairment. In the event that we determine the carrying value of intangibles is impaired, any such impairment would be charged to earnings in the period of impairment and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

AquaMed is dependent on proprietary know-how; AquaMed holds no patents.

Competitors of AquaMed may develop or market technologies that are more effective or more commercially attractive than AquaMed’s. AquaMed’s manufacturing know-how as to mixing, coating and cross-linking can be duplicated even if it is difficult to do so. There is no assurance that, should we apply for intellectual property protection for AquaMed’s intellectual property, we would be able to obtain such protection. Despite our efforts to protect proprietary rights, there is no assurance that such protections will preclude competitors of AquaMed from developing and/or marketing similar products. While we are not aware of any third party intellectual property that would materially affect AquaMed’s business, our failure or inability to obtain patents and protect AquaMed’s proprietary information could result in our business being adversely affected.

We may not be able to correctly estimate our future operating expenses, which could lead to cash shortfalls.

Our operating expenses may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. These factors include:

§	the time and resources required to develop, conduct clinical trials and obtain regulatory approvals for our drug candidates and/or HepaMate™

§	the costs to attract and retain personnel with the skills required for effective operations; and/or

§	the costs of preparing, filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent claims and other patent related costs, including litigation costs and the results of such litigation.

We are dependent on significant customers.

AquaMed is the only segment of our company that currently generates any revenues. Revenues from AquaMed’s services to a limited number of clients have accounted for a substantial percentage of our total revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2010, four major customers accounted for approximately 91% of revenue, with each customer individually accounting for 38%, 22%, 21% and 10%, respectively. Four major customers accounted for approximately 82% of the revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009, with each customer individually accounting for 30%, 22%, 18% and 12%, respectively. The loss of any significant customer of AquaMed would have a significantly negative effect on AquaMed’s operations and, as a result, on our overall operations.

We are dependent on outside suppliers for raw materials.

The principal manufacturing components we use are purchased from three suppliers. Although we have not experienced significant production delays attributable to supply changes, alternative sources of supply would be difficult to develop in a short period of time. We could experience interruptions, delays, increased costs and/or quality control problems, any of which could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, should our current suppliers either be unwilling or unable to supply us with any required raw material, we may not be able to find suitable replacement suppliers on a timely basis, or at all, causing a material adverse effect on our manufacturing capabilities.

Risks Related to the Industry

We are subject to governmental regulations.

Inherent in the development of new medical products is the potential for delay because product testing, including clinical evaluation, is required before most products can be approved for human use. We are subject to regulation by the FDA and the Federal Trade Commission with respect to the manufacturing, marketing, labeling, record keeping, claims and advertising of our products. AquaMed is also subject to state regulation with respect to its electron beam radiation services and facilities. The expansion of our business into the manufacturing and distribution of AquaMed’s products for consumer use will subject us to additional governmental regulation. While hydrogel patches are classified as Class I exempt devices by the FDA, there can be no assurances that the FDA will not seek to regulate this product in the future. Such action by the FDA could have a material adverse effect on AquaMed’s prospects and our overall prospects.

If we fail to comply with continuing federal, state and foreign regulations, our business could be seriously harmed.

Following initial regulatory approval of any products that we may develop, we will be subject to continuing regulatory review, including review of adverse drug experiences and clinical results that are reported after our products become commercially available. This would include results from any post-marketing tests or continued actions required by a condition of approval. The manufacturing facilities we may use to make any of our drug candidates will be subject to periodic review and inspection by the FDA. If a previously unknown problem or problems with a product or a manufacturing and laboratory facility used by us is discovered, the FDA or foreign regulatory agency may impose restrictions on that product or on the manufacturing facility, including requiring us to withdraw the product from the market. Any changes to an approved product, including the way it is manufactured or promoted, often requires FDA approval before the product, as modified, can be marketed. In addition, we and our contract manufacturers will be subject to ongoing FDA requirements for submission of safety and other post-market information. If we or any of our contract manufacturers fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, a regulatory agency may:

§	issue warning letters;

§	impose civil or criminal penalties;

§	suspend or withdraw our regulatory approval;

§	suspend or terminate any of our ongoing clinical trials;

§	refuse to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications filed by us;

§	impose restrictions on our operations;

§	close the facilities of our contract manufacturers; and/or

§	seize or detain products or require a product recall.

Additionally, regulatory review covers a company’s activities in the promotion of its drugs, with significant potential penalties and restrictions for promotion of drugs for an unapproved use. Sales and marketing programs are under scrutiny for compliance with various mandated requirements, such as illegal promotions to health care professionals. We are also required to submit information on our open and completed clinical trials to public registries and databases. Failure to comply with these requirements could expose us to negative publicity, fines and penalties that could harm our business.

If we violate regulatory requirements at any stage, whether before or after marketing approval is obtained, we may be fined, be forced to remove a product from the market or experience other adverse consequences, including delay, which would materially harm our financial results. Additionally, we may not be able to obtain the labeling claims necessary or desirable for product promotion.

Once approved, there is no guarantee that the market will accept our products and our products are subject to obsolescence; competition in the medical products field is intense and we represent a very small presence.

The field of medical and health products is characterized by rapid and significant changes. Even if we obtain regulatory approvals, uncertainty exists as to whether the market will accept our products or if the market for our products is as large as we anticipate. A number of factors may limit the market acceptance of our products, including the timing of regulatory approvals and market entry relative to competitive products, the availability of alternative products, the price of our products relative to alternative products, the availability of third party reimbursement and the extent of marketing efforts by third party distributors or agents that we retain. We cannot assure you that our products will receive market acceptance in a commercially viable period of time, if at all. We cannot be certain that any investment made in developing products will be recovered by us, even if we successfully commercialize our products.

We can give no assurance that any existing or future product produced by us will be competitive and will not become obsolete in light of future technological developments. Most of our competitors have far greater financial, research, marketing and distribution resources and more established channels of distribution than we do. In addition, many of our current and potential competitors offer greater variety of products and services and can therefore offer discounts and other incentive programs unavailable to us at this time.

Our failure to meet the prices offered by competitors, or to be unable to meet production demands for our products could have material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. The relative speed with which we can introduce our products and expand our distribution are also a competitive factor. Additionally, many of our customers have the financial ability to establish in-house manufacturing capabilities similar to ours.

Our products risk exposure to product liability claims.

If successful in developing, testing and commercializing our products, we will be exposed to potential product liability risks, which are inherent in the testing, manufacturing and marketing of such products. It is likely we will be contractually obligated, under any license agreements that we enter into, to indemnify the individuals and/or entities to whom we have licensed our technology against claims relating to the manufacture and sale of products sold by licensees. This indemnification liability, as well as direct liability to consumers for any defects in the products sold, could expose us to substantial risks and losses. While we have obtained $3,000,000 of product liability insurance, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain such insurance on acceptable terms or that such insurance will provide adequate coverage against potential liabilities.

Risks Related to the Common Stock

Our stock price historically has been volatile and may continue to be volatile.

The market price of our Common Stock has been and is expected to continue to be highly volatile. Factors, many of which are beyond our control, include, in addition to other risk factors described in this section, the announcements of technological innovations by us or other companies, regulatory matters, new or existing products or procedures, concerns about our financial position, operating results, litigation, government regulation, developments or disputes relating to agreements, patents or proprietary rights, and general economic, industry and market conditions may have a significant impact on the market price of our stock. In addition, the future sales of shares of our Common Stock by our shareholders, the holders of our outstanding warrants and options, and us could have an adverse dilutive effect on our outstanding shares and the market price of such shares.

The trading price of our Common Stock has, from time to time, fluctuated widely and in the future may be subject to similar fluctuations. The trading price may be affected by a number of factors including the risk factors set forth herein, as well as our operating results, financial condition, general economic conditions, market demand for our Common Stock, and various other events or factors both in and out of our control. In recent years, broad stock market indices, in general, and smaller capitalization companies, in particular, have experienced substantial price fluctuations. In a volatile market, we may experience wide fluctuations in the market price of our Common Stock. These fluctuations may have a negative effect on the market price of our Common Stock. To the extent our stock price fluctuates and/or remains low, it could cause you to lose some or all of your investment and impair our ability to raise capital through the offering of additional equity securities.

Our Common Stock is a “penny stock” and because penny stock rules will apply, you may find it difficult to sell shares of our Common Stock.

Our Common Stock is a “penny stock” as that term is defined under Rule 3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Generally, a “penny stock” is a common stock that is not listed on a securities exchange and trades for less than $5.00 a share. Prices of penny stocks often are not available to buyers and sellers and the market may be very limited. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks must provide purchasers of these stocks with a standardized risk-disclosure document prepared by the SEC. The document provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks involved in investing in the penny stock market. A broker must also give a purchaser, orally or in writing, bid and offer quotations and information regarding broker and salesperson compensation, make a written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and obtain the purchaser’s written agreement to the purchase. Many brokers choose not to participate in penny stock transactions. Because of the penny stock rules, there is less trading activity in penny stocks and you are likely to have difficulty selling your shares.

Our Common Stock is quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board and, accordingly, it may be difficult for you to sell your shares or you may not be able to sell your shares for an optimum trading price.

Our Common Stock is quoted on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”) under the symbol “ALQA”. The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and trade volumes in over-the-counter securities. Because trades and quotations on the OTCBB involve a manual process, the market information for such securities cannot be guaranteed. In addition, quote information, or even firm quotes, may not be available. The manual execution process may delay order processing and intervening price fluctuations may result in the failure of a limit order to execute or the execution of a market order at a significantly different price. Execution of trades, execution reporting and the delivery of legal trade confirmations may be delayed significantly. Consequently, one may not be able to sell shares of our Common Stock at the optimum trading prices.

When fewer shares of a security are being traded on the OTCBB, volatility of prices may increase and price movement may outpace the ability to deliver accurate quote information. Lower trading volumes in a security may result in a lower likelihood of an individual’s orders being executed, and current prices may differ significantly from the price quoted by the OTCBB at the time of the order entry.

Orders for OTCBB securities may not be canceled or edited like orders for other securities. All requests to change or cancel an order must be submitted to, received and processed by the OTCBB. Due to the manual order processing involved in handling OTCBB trades, order processing and reporting may be delayed, and an individual may not be able to cancel or edit his order. Consequently, one may not be able to sell shares of Common Stock at the optimum trading prices.

The dealer’s spread (the difference between the bid and ask prices) may be large and may result in substantial losses to the seller of securities on the OTCBB if the Common Stock must be sold immediately. Further, purchasers of securities on the OTCBB may not have an ask price for securities sold through the OTCBB. Due to the foregoing, demand for securities that are traded through the OTCBB may be decreased or eliminated.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to support the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors (the or our "Board") after taking into account various factors, including but not limited to our financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at the time. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of our Common Stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize a return on their investment.

Sales practice requirements of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the penny stock rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Commencing in November 2010, we began to pay Harborview Capital Management, LLC (“Harborview”), with respect to which Richard Rosenblum and David Stefansky are managing members, $14,000 per month for the provision by Harborview to us of office space, secretarial services and conference facilities at our principal executive offices located at 850 Third Avenue, Suite 1801, New York, New York 10022.

On February 27, 2009, AquaMed executed an assignment and assumption of a lease from Hydrogel at market rate for its commercial manufacturing facility located at 2150 Cabot Boulevard West, Langhorne, Pennsylvania which expires January 31, 2016. The lease calls for monthly lease payments as follows: $14,883 per month through January 31, 2010, $15,627 per month from February 1, 2010, through January 31, 2014, and $17,187 per month from February 1, 2014, through January 31, 2016. In addition the lease calls for monthly reimbursements which are adjusted annually. The monthly reimbursements for the year ended December 31, 2010, amounted to approximately $4,900 per month. Rent expense, including all related reimbursements, totaled $250,852 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The following is a schedule by year of future minimum rental payments, excluding reimbursements, required under the operating lease agreements:

For the Year Ending December 31	Amount ($)
2011		187,524
2012		187,524
2013		187,524
2014		204,684
2015		206,244
2016		17,187
Total		990,687

We believe that our property and equipment are in good condition, subject to normal wear and tear. We believe that our facility has sufficient capacity to meet its current and projected manufacturing, marketing, selling and distribution needs.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Overview

On May 11, 2010, we consummated the Merger, pursuant to which we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of AquaMed in exchange for 84,800,000 shares of 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 and a majority of our directors were replaced by designees of AquaMed and AquaMed’s business became our principal business. Accordingly, the Merger has been accounted for as a reverse business combination in which AquaMed is deemed to be the accounting acquirer. The fair value of the net assets acquired from the acquisition of Alliqua was $19,283,000 based on 101,494,158 shares issued at a closing stock price of $0.19 at the date of the Merger. As part of the acquisition, AquaMed acquired identifiable net assets of $1,796,000 and intangibles of $17,500,000. Of this amount, a fair value has been assigned to the in-process research and development technology relating to the HepaMate™ bioartificial liver in the amount of $8,100,000. The value assigned to this technology is not subject to amortization until such time as the technology is placed in service. The remaining portion of consideration in the amount of $9,400,000 has been allocated to goodwill. Pursuant to the Merger, AquaMed has restated its statements of stockholders’ equity on a recapitalization basis, so that all accounts are now presented as if the Merger had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

We are a biomedical company focused on the manufacture, marketing, selling and distribution of hydrogel, an aqueous polymer-based radiation ionized gel, for use in various medical and cosmetic products. Through Alliqua Biomedical, we focus on the development of proprietary products for wound care dressing and a core transdermal delivery technology platform designed to deliver drugs and other beneficial ingredients through the skin. HepaLife focuses on the development of a cell-based bioartificial liver system, HepaMate™, as 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.

Asset Purchase Agreement

On February 2, 2009, the senior secured convertible promissory note holders of Hydrogel Design Systems, Inc. (“Hydrogel”) (a subsidiary of Aquamatrix, Inc.) foreclosed on Hydrogel’s assets in full satisfaction of obligations arising under a guaranty and security interest. Concurrently, the note holders contributed the notes, including the rights under the guaranty and security interest, to AquaMed (a newly-formed company) in exchange for 540,000 shares of AquaMed’s Series A Preferred Stock. The total fair value of the debt and related accrued interest was $6,905,245. Accordingly, the total purchase price for this transaction amounted to $6,905,245, which included the assumption of certain liabilities in the amount of $110,289. The assets and liabilities of Hydrogel were recorded on our balance sheet at their fair values at the date of acquisition. As part of the purchase of Hydrogel’s assets, we acquired identifiable intangible assets of $3,600,000. Of the identifiable intangibles acquired, $3,000,000 has been assigned to technology and $600,000 to client relationships.

Warrants

As of December 31, 2010, we had warrants to purchase a total of 13,239,773 shares of Common Stock outstanding, which consisted of:

(a) Series E Purchase Warrants to purchase 6,156,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.16 per share that were issued on May 11, 2010, and expire on May 11, 2015;

(b) Series F Purchaser Warrants to purchase 6,156,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share that were issued on May 11, 2010, and expire on May 11, 2015; and

(c) Warrant to purchase 927,773 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.19 per share that were issued on May 11, 2007, and expire on May 11, 2012. These warrants were originally exercisable for 737,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. However, these warrants provide for an adjustment to the exercise price and number of shares if we issue shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents for consideration less than the then market price at the date of issuance subject to a 1% adjustment floor, which has since resulted in the increase in the number of warrant shares issuable and reduction of exercise price noted above.

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 U.S. 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

We apply the revenue recognition principles in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 605. 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.

Deposits received on product orders are recorded as deferred revenue until revenues are earned when the products are shipped to customers.

The costs associated with shipping physical products are recorded as operating expenses. Currently, shipping charges are not billed to customers.

For irradiation services, we record revenue based upon an hourly service charge as services are provided.

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 track research and development expenses by project. Any purchased in-process research and development technology is capitalized and is not amortized until such time as the technology is placed in service.

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 years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

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 the fair value, we use the market approach based on comparable publicly traded companies in similar lines of businesses 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.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel related costs, legal costs, including intellectual property that is expensed when incurred, investor relations costs, stock-based compensation costs, accounting costs, and other professional and administrative costs.

Stock-Based Compensation

We measure all stock-based compensation awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize such expense in our consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. We use the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant. The Black-Scholes pricing model requires management to make assumptions regarding the option lives, expected volatility, and risk free interest rates. See “Note 10 – Stock Options” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our stock-based compensation plans.

Fair Value

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 to measure fair value. The hierarchy is as follows:

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. Liabilities valued with Level 3 inputs are described below in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under the heading “Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity”.

Warrant Liability Derivative

We evaluate financial instruments for freestanding or embedded derivatives. The warrant liability derivative is recorded at fair value with changes in value recognized as other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations in the period of change.

The Private Placements

On May 11, 2010, simultaneously with the closing of the Merger, we sold 9,400,000 units of securities (the “Units”) in a private placement in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,175,000 (the “May 11 Private Placement”). Each Unit consisted of (i) one share of Common Stock, (ii) one half of one five year Series E Stock Purchase Warrant with an exercise price of $0.16 per share and (iii) one half of one five year Series F Stock Purchase Warrant with an exercise price of $0.20 per share, and was sold to investors at a price per Unit of $0.125.

On May 17, 2010, we sold an additional 2,000,000 Units in a private placement and received aggregate gross proceeds of $250,000 (the “May 17 Private Placement” and, together with the May 11 Private Placement, the “Private Placements”).

Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC (“Palladium”) served as our placement agent in the Private Placements and received an aggregate cash fee of $114,000, which equaled 8% of the aggregate cash consideration received by us in the Private Placements plus an additional $5,000 for incidental expenses. In addition, in connection with the Private Placements, Palladium was issued 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock and (i) Series E Warrants to purchase 456,000 shares of Common Stock and (ii) Series F Warrants to purchase 456,000 shares of Common Stock. We also paid $6,000 to the escrow agent for expenses related to the Private Placements.

Results of Operations

Revenues

We earned revenue of $1,319,297 for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to revenues of $1,448,669 for the year ended December 31, 2009, representing a decrease of 8.9%. This decrease was principally attributable to a reduction in customer orders for the manufacturing of our hydrogel products. We believe this decrease was due to timing issues of customer orders related to the delay by customers of new product launches.

Gross Loss

Our gross loss was $518,575 for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to a gross loss of $227,608 for the year ended December 31, 2009, representing an increase of $290,967 or 127.8%. As a percentage of sales, gross loss was 39.3% for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to a gross loss of 15.7% in 2009. The decrease in gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to 2009 was due to the lower volume of sales along with increased fixed overhead expenses. Our gross profit may fluctuate from period to period based on the mix of products sold and based on the volume of products sold in each period.

Depreciation of equipment and amortization of technology included in cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2010, was $623,363, as compared to $568,409 in 2009. Labor related expense for the year ended December 31, 2010, was $453,615, as compared to $402,821 in 2009. Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2010, was $250,852, as compared to $211,734 in 2009. Utility expense included for the year ended December 31, 2010, was $90,866, as compared to $81,253 in 2009.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expense was $2,029,259 for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $512,690 for the year ended December 31, 2009, representing an increase of $1,516,569 or 296%. This increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in administrative personnel associated with the increase in management positions and quality assurance personnel, higher consulting costs, increased professional fees and non-cash expense associated with stock option grants. General and administrative expense was 154% of product sales for the years ended December 31, 2010, compared to 35% for the year ended December 31, 2009. Director fees for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $488,872, as compared to no fees paid in 2009. Officer compensation for the year ended December 31, 2010, was $265,130, as compared to no salaries paid in 2009. Other salary expenses – related to quality assurance and finance personnel – for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $124,015, as compared to $48,243 in 2009. Professional fees for the year ended December 31, 2010, were $288,652, as compared to $71,657 in 2009. Consulting fees for the year ended December 31, 2010, were $244,175, as compared to $222,021 in 2009.

Research and Development

We incurred $170,247 in research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to no expenses for research and development during the year ended December 31, 2009. This increase is due primarily to a focus on the development of proprietary products of wound care dressing and a core transdermal delivery technology platform designed to deliver drugs and other beneficial ingredients through the skin. We believe our research and development expenses will increase in 2011 as we continue to develop our proprietary products.

Acquisition Related Costs

We incurred $381,874 in legal and professional fees relating to the Merger, which fees were a one-time, non-recurring cost.

Other Income (and Expense)

Interest income

Interest income for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 represents interest earned on cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $9,075 and $1,459, respectively. The increase in interest income is due to the acquisition of cash as a result of the Merger.

Change in fair value of warrant liability

Our warrants are considered derivative liabilities and are therefore required to be adjusted to fair value each quarter. We value our warrant liability using the Black-Sholes formula for determining the value, which approximates the fair value using the Binomial Lettice Model. Our stock price, the remaining term of the warrants, and the volatility of our stock all impact the fair value of the warrants.

The amount recorded to adjust the warrants to fair value resulted in a net non-cash income of $7,287 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have experienced negative operating cash flows since our inception and we have funded our operations primarily from the proceeds received from cash on hand and sales of our equity securities. Cash and cash equivalents were $1,393,727 and $179,692 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Net cash flow used in operating activities was $1,713,596 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to net cash flow used of $160,332 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

We expect to continue to incur losses from business operations and we believe our cash and cash equivalents balances, anticipated cash flows from operations, and other external sources of credit will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements through the first quarter of 2012. Our future after the first quarter of 2012 will depend in large part on our ability to successfully raise capital from external sources to pay for planned expenditures and to fund operations.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1,550,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The cash was primarily attributable to proceeds from the sale of Common Stock and warrants.

At December 31, 2010, we had 13,239,773 outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.16 to $1.19 per share. The majority of these warrants (12,312,000) are exercisable at $0.16 and $0.20 per share.

At March 19, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,116,874, $282,400 of which is restricted and held in an escrow account pursuant to an Investor Relations Agreement.

We continue to aggressively pursue additional financing from existing relationships (such as prior shareholders, investors and lenders) and from new investors to support our research and development programs and operations. On March 2, 2011, we sold 6,250,000 shares of Common Stock and a warrant to purchase 6,250,000 five year warrants for an exercise price of $.17 for total gross proceeds of $1,000,000, which will be used as working capital.

We have demonstrated the ability to control costs and will continue to do so. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we controlled costs related to our proprietary wound dressing development and our transdermal pain patch research and development while pursuing necessary funding, which funding was completed in March of 2011. In order to advance the research and development of these proprietary products, we expect our monthly operating costs associated with salaries and benefits, regulatory and public company consulting, legal and professional and other working capital costs to increase. In the past, we have relied primarily on raising equity capital in order to meet our operating budget and to achieve our operating objectives, and we plan to continue that practice in the future.

Although we have been successful in the past with raising sufficient capital, we will continue to vigorously pursue additional financing as necessary for meeting our business objectives. However, there is no guarantee that additional capital will be available in sufficient amounts and on terms favorable to us, if at all.

AquaMed has experienced significant sales growth in the first quarter of 2011. However, there is no guarantee that this growth will continue for the balance of the year.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Management, with the participation of our President and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

In connection with the audit of our 2009 consolidated financial statements, our independent auditors identified certain significant deficiencies that together constituted a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. These significant deficiencies primarily relate to our lack of formalized written policies and procedures in the financial accounting area, our lack of appropriate resources to both manage the financial close process on a timely basis and handle the accounting for complex equity and other transactions, our lack of sophisticated financial reporting systems to allow the reporting of financial information on a timely basis (which was due in part to the small size of our company prior to the Merger), and our lack of a formalized disaster recovery plan in the information technology area.

To ensure the proper remediation of the above-mentioned significant deficiencies, management implemented the following actions during 2010:

We documented key controls for each of our key financial reporting processes (formalized written policies and procedures). In connection with our Sarbanes 404 Implementation Project during 2010, key policies and procedures have been formalized and documented in the form of process narratives for the financial accounting area. These process narratives have been discussed with and disseminated to our accounting staff.

We have increased our accounting staff, refined their roles and responsibilities and realigned their work flow to ensure proper monitoring review and supervision. As appropriate and deemed necessary, we have brought in additional resources to manage the accounting work load. We have also upgraded the respective skill sets of our accounting staff as we solidified the leadership of our finance and accounting department. In connection with our Sarbanes 404 Implementation Project in 2010, our accounting staff has been specifically trained to ensure the timely and proper completion of our key control activities.

§	We have formalized our disaster recovery plan.

§	Management is in the process of implementing the following initiatives to further enhance our control environment:

▫	Updating or developing operating manuals for key accounting areas using existing process narratives;

▫	Developing a formal program to cross-train our accounting staff; and

▫	Conducting quarterly reviews of our key controls to ensure their operating effectiveness.

Additionally, we continually monitor our controls and meet with vendors who may be able to provide improved procedures and protocols.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) and has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission on Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

We instituted additional policies and procedures during the fourth quarter in order to improve our internal controls over financial reporting. All policies and procedures have been documented and all accounting personnel have been made aware of these policies.

Code of Ethics

Our Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that establishes standards of ethical conduct applicable to all of our employees, officers and directors, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer.

Board Committees

Audit Committee

The members of the Audit Committee are Joseph Leone, Chairman, and Jeffrey Sklar, both of whom are considered to be audit committee financial experts. The Audit Committee monitors the Company’s financial reporting process and internal control system and reviews and appraises the audit efforts of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

We will, however, consider any recommendations of such candidates made by shareholders. Shareholders should follow the instructions under “Communications with the Board” to submit any such recommendations.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The responsibility for establishing, administering and interpreting our policies governing the compensation and benefits for our executive officers lies with our Compensation Committee and our Board. The Board has not retained the services of any compensation consultants.

The goals of our executive compensation program are to attract, motivate and retain individuals with the skills and qualities necessary to support and develop our business within the framework of our size and available resources. In 2010, we designed our executive compensation program to achieve the following objectives:

§	attract and retain executives experienced in developing and delivering products such as our own;

§	motivate and reward executives whose experience and skills are critical to our success;

§	reward performance; and

§	align the interests of our executive officers and shareholders by motivating executive officers to increase shareholder value.

The following table and descriptive materials set forth information concerning compensation earned for services rendered to the Company by: the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”); the Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”); and the two other most highly-compensated executive officers other than the CEO and CFO who were serving as executive officers of the Company at the end of the 2010 fiscal year (the “Named Executive Officers”).

Compensation of Directors

As of October 31, 2010, we do not pay director compensation to directors who are also our employees. Our Board determines the non-employee directors’ compensation for serving on the Board and its committees. In establishing director compensation, the Board is guided by the following goals:

§	compensation should consist of a combination of cash and equity awards that are designed to fairly pay the directors for work required for a company of our size and scope;

§	compensation should align the directors’ interests with the long-term interests of shareholders; and

§	compensation should assist with attracting and retaining qualified directors.

Prior to the Merger, non-employee directors received $2,500 per quarter for their services, plus $500 per attended Board meeting in excess of five per year, and directors whom also served as part-time employees received $6,000 for their services. After the consummation of the Merger, non-employee directors received $2,250 per month for their services. Directors are entitled to participate in our 2001 Incentive Stock Option Plan. We also reimburse our directors for any actual expenses incurred in connection with services as a director.

The table below outlines director compensation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred $165,250 in Board fees, of which $102,000 were realized post-Merger for our directors.

On October 13, 2009, we entered into an Interim Executive Services Agreement with Mr. Amit Dang in which Mr. Dang was appointed as the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer, President and Secretary. Mr. Dang received a fee of $7,000 per month during the term of the Interim Executive Services Agreement. Mr. Dang was also granted an option to purchase, subject to vesting restrictions, up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $0.32 per share (the closing price of the Common Stock as reported on the OTCBB on October 13, 2009). These options vested upon the discretion of the Board prior to the Merger on May 7, 2010, and Mr. Dang is no longer with the Company.

Director Independence

As of the date of this Report, because none of our securities is listed on a national securities exchange or in an inter-dealer quotation system we are not required to have a majority of independent directors. However, after considering all of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Board has determined that Messrs. Goldberg, Leone, Pearson, Sklar and Stein are independent from our management and qualify as “independent directors” under the standards of independence set forth in Rule 303A.02 of the NYSE Amex Rules.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Audit Committee of the

Board of Directors and Shareholders

of Alliqua, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Alliqua, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Alliqua, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ALLIQUA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Organization

AquaMed is a Delaware Company formed on January 13, 2009. On May 11, 2010, Alliqua consummated the Merger whereby Alliqua acquired all of the issued and outstanding common and preferred shares of AquaMed (See Note 3).

AquaMed’s principal business is the manufacturing, marketing, selling and distribution of hydrogel, an aqueous polymer-based radiation ionized gel, which is used in various medical and cosmetic products. Alliqua, through its subsidiary Alliqua Biomedical Systems, Inc., focuses on the development of proprietary products of wound care dressings and a core transdermal delivery technology platform designed to deliver drugs and other beneficial ingredients through the skin. Heplife Biosystems, Inc. focuses on the development of a cell-based bioartificial liver system, HepaMate™, as 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.

HepaLife Biosystems, Inc. was incorporated under of the laws the State of Nevada on April 17, 2007, for the purpose of segregating operations and accounting associated with the Company’s research and development efforts with its patented PICM-19 cell line, artificial liver technologies, and in vitro toxicology testing systems.

Alliqua Biomedical Systems, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 27, 2010, for the purpose of segregating operations and accounting associated with the Company’s research and development efforts in developing proprietary wound care dressing and a core transdermal delivery technology.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Liquidity

The Company historically has incurred operating losses. The Company’s future capital requirement is expected to be driven by (1) marketing of our new product lines, (2) research and development and (3) the need to supplement working capital levels. At December 31, 2010, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,393,727, excluding $362,546 of restricted cash, compared to $179,692 at December 31, 2009. The increase of $1,214,035 was attributable to $1,431,222 of unrestricted cash acquired in the Merger and $1,550,000 received from the issuance of Common Stock, less the amount of cash used from operating activities of $1,713,596 and capital expenditures of $53,591.

Partially to be aided by new product launches in 2011 and the progress the Company has made in the execution of its business plan and the Merger, the Company believes that it will have sufficient resources to meet its cash requirements through January 1, 2012. As discussed more fully in Note 17 below, on March 2, 2011, the Company raised $1,000,000 in a private placement to pay for planned expenditures and to fund operations. However, we will require additional capital in order to execute the longer term aspects of our business plan. 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 not necessarily be limited to, curtailing our business development activities 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.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include the consolidated financial statements of Alliqua, Inc. and its subsidiaries, AquaMed Technologies, Inc., HepaLife Biosystems, Inc. and Alliqua Biomedical, Inc.

All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid securities purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. From time to time the Company's cash account balances exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation guarantee limit of $250,000. The Company reduces its exposure to credit risk by maintaining its cash deposits with major financial institutions and monitoring their credit ratings.

ALLIQUA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on management’s assessment, an allowance for doubtful accounts is not provided since all accounts recorded on the books are deemed collectible.

Inventory

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. Reserves for obsolete inventories are based on historical experience. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had reserves for obsolete inventory of $188 and $0, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated under the straight-line method over their estimated useful life as follows:

Machinery and equipment	10 years
Office equipment	10 years
Furniture and fixtures	10 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the remaining respective lease term or useful lives.

Upon retirement or other disposition of these assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of these assets are removed from the accounts and the resulting gains and losses are reflected in the consolidated results of operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred and betterments are capitalized.

Intangible Assets

The Company recognizes certain intangible assets acquired in acquisitions, primarily goodwill, client relationships and technology. The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other”. ASC 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. The Company did not recognize any intangible asset impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

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, may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows of such assets are less than the carrying amount, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value. The Company did not recognize any intangible asset impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The Company reevaluates the carrying amounts of its amortizable intangibles at least quarterly to identify any triggering events, including those that could arise from the current national and global economic crisis that would require an impairment review.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Goodwill and Impairment

The Company is required to perform a goodwill impairment test at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value to its carrying value, including the associated goodwill. The testing for impairment of goodwill is performed in two steps: (1) potential impairment is identified by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit (based on market capitalization, discounted cash flows, or other acceptable methods) with its carrying amount; and (2) if fair value is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is estimated as the excess of the carrying amount of the goodwill over its fair value. Goodwill must be written down when impaired. The Company has adopted December 31 as the annual date for preparing its impairment assessment, unless other triggering events occur during the year which might indicate that an impairment has occurred. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges for goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Revenue Recognition

The Company applies the revenue recognition principles in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition,” with respect to recognizing its revenue. Accordingly, the Company records 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.

Deposits received on product orders are recorded as deferred revenue until revenues are earned when the products are shipped to customers.

The costs associated with shipping physical products are recorded as operating expenses. Currently, shipping charges are not billed to customers.

For irradiation services, the Company records revenue based upon an hourly service charge as services are provided.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses represent costs incurred to develop our technology. The Company charges 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. The Company does not track research and development expenses by project. Any purchased in-process research and development technology is capitalized and is amortized when the technology is placed in service. As of December 31, 2010 these costs totaled $170,247. No research and development expenses were incurred in 2009.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $218,864 and $650, respectively.

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 to re-evaluates all of its accounting estimates quarterly and records adjustments, when necessary.

Shipping and Handling

All shipping and handling costs are paid for by the customer. Shipping and handling costs amounted to approximately $6,456 and $7,526 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are classified in cost of sales.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The income tax provision or credit is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes.” ASC Topic 740 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law. ASC Topic 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, 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 book purposes.

The Company adopted accounting guidance which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance also provides direction on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The tax years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007 remain subject to examination for Federal, State, and Local income tax purposes by various taxing authorities.

The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as selling, general and administrative expenses.

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 is 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:

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. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with accounting guidance which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the date of grant, and are amortized over the vesting period of the award The Company recognizes the compensation costs over the requisite period of the award, which is typically the date the services are performed. Stock based compensation is reflected within operating expenses.

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 reverse merger.

Common stock equivalents, consisting of stock options and warrants were not included in the calculation of the diluted loss per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The total common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants are as follows:

	December 31,
	2010		2009

Stock Options		12,720,000		-
Warrants		13,239,773		-
Total		25,959,773		-

Related Party Transactions

A related party is generally defined as (i) any person who holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone who directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. (See Note 12).

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustments or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. This ASU reflects the decision reached in EITF Issue No. 10-G. The amendments in this ASU affect any public entity that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. The amendments in this ASU specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will review the requirements of ASC Topic 810-10 and comply with its requirements. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. Originally issued in December 2007, ASC Topic 805 on business combinations, established principles and requirements as to how acquirers recognize and measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interests and goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase. This guidance was effective for business combinations with an acquisition date on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

In February 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. The amendments in the ASU remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The FASB also clarified that if the financial statements have been revised, then an entity that is not an SEC filer should disclose both the date that the financial statements were issued or available to be issued and the date the revised financial statements were issued or available to be issued. The FASB believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the SEC’s literature. The provisions of ASC 855, established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The provisions of ASC 855 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This ASU requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting. Specifically, ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic 820-10 to now require:

§	A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and

§	In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements.

In addition, ASU 2010-06 clarifies the requirements of the following existing disclosures:

§	For purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities; and

§	A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.

ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2009, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-05 which included amendments to Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure--Overall.” The update provides clarification that in circumstances, in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the techniques provided for in this update. The amendments in this update clarify that a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability and also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 860-20 “Transfers and Servicing - Sale of Financial Assets,” to improve the reporting for the transfer of financial assets resulting from 1) practices that have developed since the issuance of ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” that are not consistent with the original intent and key requirements of that Statement and (2) concerns of financial statement users that many of the financial assets (and related obligations) that have been derecognized should continue to be reported in the financial statements of transferors. ASC Topic 860-20 must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company does not currently engage in the transfer of financial assets and, therefore, the adoption of ASC Topic 860-20 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The FASB has published FASB Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)-Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements,” which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. Specifically, this guidance amends the criteria in Subtopic 605-25, “Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements,” for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimates. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method and also requires expanded disclosures. FASB Accounting Standards Update 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 3 – Business Combination

The Company accounts for business combination under ASC Topic 805 which establishes principles and requirements as to how acquirers recognize and measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and goodwill acquired in a business combination.

AquaMed Technologies, Inc

On May 11, 2010, Alliqua consummated the Merger and thereby acquired all of the issued and outstanding common and preferred shares of AquaMed, a privately-held Delaware corporation, in exchange for 85 million shares (45% of voting control) of Alliqua’s common stock. Certain former members of AquaMed's management assumed all key management roles of the combined company and also received majority control of the Board. All members of management of Alliqua prior to the Merger are no longer with Alliqua. As a result of the transaction, the former owners of AquaMed became the controlling stockholders of Alliqua.

Accordingly, the Merger of AquaMed and Alliqua is a merger that has been accounted for as a reverse business combination in which AquaMed is deemed to be the accounting acquirer.

The fair value of the net assets acquired from the acquisition of Alliqua was $19,283,000 based on 101,494,158 shares issued at a closing stock price of $0.19 at the date of the Merger. As part of the acquisition, AquaMed acquired identifiable net assets of $1,796,000 and intangibles of $17,500,000. Of this amount, a fair value has been assigned to the in-process research and development technology relating to the “Hepamate” bioartificial liver in the amount of $8,100,000. The value assigned to this technology is not subject to amortization until such time as the technology is placed in service. The remaining portion of consideration in the amount of $9,386,000 has been allocated to goodwill. Pursuant to the reverse merger, AquaMed 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 recorded amortization expense related to the acquired amortizable intangibles of $350,000 and $320,833 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

In-process research and development technology represents HepaMate™ patented biotech technologies acquired from Alliqua in the Merger which currently have no commercial use. The value assigned to this technology will not be subject to amortization until such time as the technology is placed in service. HepaMate™ is an extracorporeal (outside the body), temporary liver support system designed to provide ‘whole’ liver function to patients with acute or severe liver failure. Unlike conventional technologies which use mechanical methods to perform rudimentary filtration of a patient’s blood or partially detoxify blood by using albumin or sorbents, HepaMate™ combines the process of removing toxins from the patient’s blood (detoxification) with concurrent biologic liver cell therapy.

The estimated future amortization expense related to technology and customer relationships as of December 31, 2010 is as follows:

The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board out of legally available funds. However, the current policy of the Board is to retain earnings, if any, for the operation and expansion of the business. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets of the Company which are legally available for distribution after payment of or provision for all liabilities. The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights.

In May, 2010, the Company issued 11,400,000 units of securities consisting of 11,400,000 of Common Stock and 5,700,000 Series E warrants each allowing the purchase of one share of Common Stock at $0.16 per share, and 5,700,000 Series F warrants each allowing the purchase of one share of Common Stock at $0.20 per share for net proceeds of $1,300,000.

Common Stock and Warrants (continued)

On October 27, 2010, a consultant received 190,000 shares of restricted Common Stock valued at $0.11 a share for a total value of $20,900.

Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, which may be divided into series and with preferences, limitations and relative rights determined by the Board. As of December 31, 2010 no shares of preferred stock are issued or outstanding.

Warrants

As of December 31, 2010, the Company has a total of 13,239,773 warrants outstanding as follows:

6,156,000 Series E warrants were issued May 11, 2010, each allowing the purchase of one share of Common Stock at $0.16 per share until May 11, 2015.

6,156,000 Series F warrants were issued May 11, 2010, each allowing the purchase of one share of Common Stock at $0.20 per share until May 11, 2015.

Warrant shares outstanding that the company issued May 11, 2007, with an original exercise price of $1.50 and original amount of warrant shares of 737,000 convertible into Common Stock until May 11, 2012. The related warrant agreement provides for an adjustment to the exercise price and number of shares if the Company issues shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents for consideration less than the then market price at the date of issuance subject to a 1% adjustment floor. As a result of this provision, the total number of Warrant shares outstanding as of December 31, 2010, was 927,773 with an exercise price of $1.19.

The potential of a dilutive adjustment to the Warrants’ exercise prices and number of underlying shares of Common Stock may result in a settlement amount that does not equal the difference between the fair value of a fixed number of the Common Stock and a fixed exercise price. Accordingly, the Warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and, therefore, are accounted for as a derivative pursuant to ASC 815-40 Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity which became effective January 1, 2009.

At December 31, 2010, the Company valued the warrant liability for the Warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing-model (Level 3 inputs) which approximates the fair value measured using the Binomial Lattice Model containing the following assumptions: volatility of 92.17%, a risk-free rate of 0.61%, and a term of 1.35 years.

The warrant liability recorded at fair value is summarized below:

	Warrants
Beginning balance, May 11, 2010 (acquired as part of the Merger)	$	11,917
Change in fair value of warrant liability		(7,287	)
Ending balance, December 31, 2010	$	4,630

As a result of adjusting the warrant liability to fair value, the Company recorded a non-cash gain of $7,287 relating to the Warrants for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Note 10 – Stock Options

Stock Option Plan

The Company maintains an active stock option plan that provides shares for option grants to employees, directors and others. A total of 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for award under the stock option plan, of which 27,280,000 were available for future issuance as of December 31, 2010. Options granted under the option plan generally vest over two to five years or as otherwise determined by the Board, have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, and expire no later than ten years after the date of grant.

Stock Based Compensation

On December 9, 2010, the Company granted 12,550,000 non-qualified stock options with an exercise price of $0.145 with an expiration date of December 9, 2020, to certain members of its advisory board, executives and employees for their contributions to date to the success of the Company. The options issued were valued at $1,426,005 and have a ten year term. 3,550,000 of the options vested immediately with the remaining portion vesting upon the completion of specific strategic events which are all expected to occur within the next year. The fair value of the options granted during the year ended December 31, 2010, was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 107.7%, risk-free interest rate of 1.90% and an expected term of 5.16 years. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2010, was $0.09.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, total stock option compensation expense charged to operations was $531,450, with $144,578 classified as salaries and benefits and $386,872 included in director fees.

At December 31, 2010, the unamortized value of employee stock options outstanding was approximately $894,555. The unamortized portion at December 31, 2010 will be expensed over a weighted average period of 0.84 years.

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock option plans and the changes during the year ended December 31, 2010, is presented in the table below:

	Number of Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price (per share)		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years)		Intrinsic Value

As of December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, the Company’s deferred tax assets consisted of the effects of temporary differences attributable to the following:

	Years Ended:

Property and equipment	$	(529,000	)	$	(438,000	)
Goodwill		(22,000	)		(10,000	)
Total Deferred Tax Liabilities		(551,000	)		(448,000	)

Deferred Tax Asset (Liability)	$	(22,000	)	$	(10,000	)

For the years ended December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, the Company had approximately $14,817,000 and $2,018,000 of federal and state net operating loss carryovers (“NOL”), respectively, which begin to expire in 2018. The net operating loss carryovers may be subject to limitation under internal Revenue Code Section 382 should there be a greater than 50% ownership change as determined under the regulations. The Company conducted a change in ownership study in accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) and determined that none of its federal and state NOL carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and taxing strategies in making this assessment. The deferred tax liability related to goodwill cannot be used in this determination since goodwill is considered to be an asset with an indefinite life for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, the deferred tax liability related to goodwill cannot be considered when determining the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets. Based upon this assessment, management has established a full valuation allowance for the amount of the deferred tax asset which cannot be supported through the production of future taxable income generated through the reversal of the deferred tax liability related to the depreciation of the property and equipment, since it is more likely than not that all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The change in the valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, is $6,056,000 and $311,000, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the FASB’s guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. In accordance with the guidance, interest costs and related penalties to unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated, if applicable. No interest and penalties were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next year.
