NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Note 1 — Organization, Business and Basis of Presentation:
 
Organization and Business:
 
CorMedix Inc. (“CorMedix” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 28, 2006.  CorMedix is a development-stage pharmaceutical company that seeks to fulfill selected, significant unmet medical needs in the therapeutic areas at the crossroads of cardiac and kidney (renal) disease.
 
Basis of Presentation:
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information.  Accordingly, the unaudited condensed financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete annual financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of such interim results.  Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2011 or for any subsequent period.  These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of the Company which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 11, 2011.  The accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements included in such Form 10-K.
 
The Company’s primary activities since incorporation have been organizational activities, including recruiting personnel, establishing office facilities, acquiring licenses for its pharmaceutical compound pipeline, performing business and financial planning, performing research and development and raising funds through the issuance of debt and common stock.  The Company has not generated any revenues and, accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage.
 
On February 24, 2010, the Company effected a 1-for-7.836 reverse stock split of its common stock.  All share and per-share information in these unaudited condensed financial statements have been adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split.
 
The Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments through the normal course of business.  The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities.  The Company has sustained operating losses since its inception and expects that such losses will continue over the next several years.  Management believes that the currently available capital resources will be sufficient to meet the Company’s operating needs into the first quarter of 2012.  The Company intends to raise additional funds through various potential sources, such as equity and/or debt financings, strategic relationships, or out-licensing of its products, however, the Company can provide no assurances that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.    For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the period from July 28, 2006 (inception) to June 30, 2011, the Company incurred net losses of $4,452,151 and $40,688,430, respectively.

CORMEDIX INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
 
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Correction of Immaterial Error
 
The Company identified an immaterial error in its previously issued unaudited condensed financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as follows:
 
·    
the improper recording of licensor escrowed shares to research and development expense when such shares were not earned.
 
The error in the accounting for the licensor escrowed shares resulted in an overstatement of non-cash research and development expenses of $369,652 and an overstatement of net loss per share of $0.06 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The licensor shares were not earned as of June 30, 2011.
 
The Company reviewed the accounting error utilizing SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality” (“SAB 99”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Effects of Prior Year Misstatements on Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”) and determined the impact of the errors to be immaterial to any prior period’s presentation.  The accompanying 2011 and 2010 unaudited condensed financial statements reflect the corrections of the aforementioned immaterial error.
 
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
 
Use of Estimates:
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Loss per common share:
 
Basic earnings (loss) per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per common share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.  Since the Company has only incurred losses, basic and diluted loss per share are the same.  The amount of potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation was 6,897,250 and 6,422,767 underlying outstanding warrants and stock options at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Stock-Based Compensation:
 
Share-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period on a straight-line basis.
 
The Company accounts for stock options granted to non-employees on a fair value basis using the Black-Scholes option pricing method.  The non-cash charge to operations for non-employee options with vesting is revalued at the end of each reporting period based upon the change in the fair value of the options and amortized to consulting expense over the related contract service period.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 options to purchase an aggregate of 826,000 and 1,589,215 shares of common stock, respectively, were granted to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants.
 
Note 3 — Stockholders’ Equity:
 
Common Stock Options and Warrants:
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, options to purchase an aggregate of 150,000 shares of common stock were granted to the Company’s directors under the Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”) with an exercise price of $2.10 per share.  These options vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, January 14, 2011, and have a ten-year term.  Additionally, during the six  months ended June 30, 2011, options to purchase 356,000 shares of common stock were granted to the Company’s new Chief Medical Officer (“CMO”) under the Plan with an exercise price of $1.61 per share.  These options vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, March 1, 2011 and have a ten-year term.  During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company also granted market based stock options to a non-employee consultant to purchase 320,000 shares of common stock under the Plan with an exercise price of $1.72 per share with a five year term.  As of June 30, 2011, no non-employee stock options had vested as the vesting of such stock options is contingent upon various performance metrics which have not been achieved as of June 30, 2011.  To estimate the number of stock options expected to vest, the Company used the Monte Carlo stock price simulation method.  The Monte Carlo analysis uses several random simulations along with performance vesting metrics, an initial stock price of $1.72, expected volatility of 100% for the one-year period of the vesting contingency and a one-year risk-free rate of 0.25%.  The Company then used the results of the Monte Carlo analysis together with the Black-Scholes option pricing method to estimate the fair value of the options issued.  The Black-Scholes option pricing method criteria to determine the related non-cash charge to operations included:  an initial stock price of $1.72, volatility of 110%, a one year contractual service period, an expected exercise term of 5 years and a  risk free rate of 1.75%.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company granted options to purchase 1,589,215 shares of common stock under the Plan to various employees, officers and directors with an exercise price of $3.125 per share.  Each option granted to employees during the six months ended June 30, 2010 has a ten-year term and vests equally over a three-year period.  The options granted to directors during the six months ended June 30, 2010 have ten-year terms and vested one-third on March 30, 2010, the date of grant, and the remaining two-thirds will vest equally over a two-year period.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the period from July 28, 2006 (inception) to June 30, 2011, the Company recorded compensation expense, in connection with common stock and stock options issued to employees, directors and consultants, of $431,087, $596,490 and $2,221,827, respectively.

The Company estimated the expected term of the stock options granted based on anticipated exercises in future periods assuming the success of its business model as currently forecasted for employees and directors.  The expected term of the stock options granted to consultants is based upon the contractual terms established within the operative agreements with the Company.  Given the Company’s short period of publicly-traded stock history, management’s estimate of expected volatility is based on the average expected volatilities of a sampling of five companies with similar attributes to the Company, including: industry, stage of life cycle, size and financial leverage.  The Company will continue to analyze the expected stock price volatility and expected term assumptions as more historical data for the Company’s common stock becomes available.  The expected dividend yield reflects the Company’s current and expected future policy for dividends on the Company’s common stock.  To determine the risk-free interest rate, the Company utilized the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with a term consistent with the expected term of the Company’s awards.  During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company has experienced forfeitures of options issued to its former CMO, Chairman and Board member.  Since the stock options currently outstanding are primarily held by senior management and directors of the Company, the Company will continue to evaluate the effects of such future potential forfeitures, as they may arise, to ascertain an estimated forfeiture rate.

 
A summary of the Company’s option and warrant activity under the Plan and related information is as follows:

Item 2.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 11, 2011.

Overview
 
CorMedix Inc. (referred to herein as “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company”), is a pharmaceutical company that seeks to in-license, develop and commercialize therapeutic products for the treatment of cardiac and renal dysfunction, also known as Cardiorenal disease.  Specifically, our goal is to treat kidney disease by reducing the commonly associated cardiovascular and metabolic complications — in effect, “Treating the kidney to treat the heart.”  As of the date of this report, we have licensed all of the products in our Cardiorenal pipeline.
 
We have the worldwide rights to develop and commercialize several proprietary product candidates in clinical development that address significant market opportunities, including our most advanced product candidates, CRMD003 (Neutrolin®) and CRMD001 (a proprietary formulation of deferiprone).
 
 CRMD003 is a liquid designed to prevent central venous Catheter Related Bloodstream Infections, or CRBI, and maintenance of catheter patency in central venous catheters (initially in hemodialysis catheters).  We submitted an amendment to our Investigational Device Exemption application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, for CRMD003 during the first half of 2011, which if approved will enable us to start a pivotal clinical trial in the United States in 2011.  We are seeking approval of Neutrolin® in Europe through a CE mark application.  During the first half of 2011 we submitted our design dossier with the European notified body managing our CE mark application which upon the successful audit and approval of the design dossier and the implementation and successful audit of our quality management systems, we would anticipate being in a position to obtain a CE mark approval in the first half of 2012.  If we obtain CE mark approval in Europe, we expect to be in a position to launch Neutrolin® for the prevention of CRBI and maintenance of catheter patency in hemodialysis patients in Europe during the first half of 2012.  We cannot be assured of CE mark approval of Neutrolin® on that timeline or at all.  We are currently exploring the various methods of launching Neutrolin® in Europe, whether through a distributorship or partnership arrangement.

CRMD001 is our oral formulation of the drug deferiprone, which we intend to develop for use in the prevention of Contrast-Induced Nephropathy, or CIN, which is a common and potentially serious complication arising from the use of iodinated contrast media used in X-ray procedures to identify the status of blood vessels in the heart.  Following our assessment of the data generated in connection with our development of CRMD001 for the CIN indication, we will consider whether or not to also develop CRMD001 for use in the treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease, or CKD, based on the support such data provides for this additional indication as well as other factors, including our access to capital, clinical and regulatory considerations regarding development of CRMD001 for the CKD indication, and our assessment of the then-current state of our intellectual property estate in CRMD001 with respect to both the CIN and the CKD indications.  In June 2010, we initiated patient dosing in a phase II biomarker “proof of concept” study for the CIN indication.  As of June 2011, we completed the recruitment of our phase II biomarker study.  We expect to have the results of the phase II biomarker study during the second half of 2011.  We believe this study will generate supportive data on the ability of CRMD001 to reduce biomarker evidence of acute kidney injury and provide other information that will increase the likelihood of success of a later phase III trial for the CIN indication.
 
We are a development stage company.  We were organized as a Delaware corporation on July 28, 2006 under the name “Picton Holding Company, Inc.” and we changed our corporate name to “CorMedix Inc.” on January 18, 2007.  Since our inception, we have had no revenue from product sales.  Our operations to date have been primarily limited to organizing and staffing, licensing product candidates, developing clinical trials for our product candidates, establishing manufacturing for our product candidates and maintaining and improving our patent portfolio.  We have generated significant losses to date, and we expect to continue to generate losses as we progress towards the commercialization of our product candidates, including CRMD003 and CRMD001.  As of June 30, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of $40,688,430.  Since we do not generate revenue from any of our product candidates, our losses will continue as we advance our product candidates towards regulatory approval and eventual commercialization.  As a result, our operating losses are likely to be substantial over the next several years.  We are unable to predict the extent of any future losses or when we will become profitable, if at all.
 
In March 2010, we completed our Initial Public Offering, or the IPO, whereby we sold 1,925,000 units, each unit consisting of two shares of our common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock each a Unit, at $6.50 per Unit resulting in gross proceeds of $12,512,500 and net proceeds to us of $10,457,270 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us.  All of our convertible notes and accrued interest thereon and all of our outstanding shares of Non-Voting Subordinated Class A Common Stock automatically converted into Units or common stock upon the completion of the IPO.  We believe that the net proceeds from the IPO and existing cash will be sufficient to fund our projected operating requirements into the first quarter of 2012.  We intend  to raise additional funds through various potential sources, such as equity and/or debt financings, strategic relationships, or out-licensing of our products, however, we can provide no assurances that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
 
 
13

 
 
We also effected a 1-for-7.836 reverse stock split of our common stock on February 24, 2010 in connection with the IPO.  All shares and per share amounts, except as noted, have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split.
 
Financial Operations Overview
 
Revenue
 
We have not generated any revenue since our inception.  As of June 30, 2011, we have funded our operations primarily through debt financings and the IPO, and our receipt of a total of approximately $490,000 from federal grants under the Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project program and a total of approximately $281,000 from the sale of our unused net operating losses through the State of New Jersey’s Economic Development Authority Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program and a total of approximately $35,000 from qualified research and development expenditures refunded to us through the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance under the Qualifying Emerging Technology Incentive Program.
 
If our product development efforts result in clinical success, regulatory approval and successful commercialization of any of our products, we could generate revenue from sales or licenses of any such products.
 
Research and Development Expense
 
Research and development, or R&D, expense consists of: (i) internal costs associated with our development activities; (ii) payments we make to third party contract research organizations, contract manufacturers, investigative sites, and consultants; (iii) technology and intellectual property license costs; (iv) manufacturing development costs; (v) personnel related expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and related costs for the personnel involved in drug development; (vi) activities relating to regulatory filings and the advancement of our product candidates through preclinical studies and clinical trials; and (vii) facilities and other allocated expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent, facility maintenance, as well as laboratory and other supplies. All R&D is expensed as incurred.
 
Conducting a significant amount of R&D is central to our business model.  Through June 30, 2011, we incurred $20,815,339 in R&D expenses since our inception in July 2006.  Product candidates in later-stage clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of development, primarily due to the significantly increased size and duration of the clinical trials.  We plan to increase our R&D expenses for the foreseeable future in order to complete development of our two most advanced product candidates, CRMD003 and CRMD001, and our earlier-stage R&D projects.
 
The following table summarizes the percentages of our R&D payments related to our two most advanced product candidates and other projects.  The percentages summarized in the following table reflect payments directly attributable to each development candidate, which are tracked on a project basis.  A portion of our internal costs, including indirect costs relating to our product candidates, are not tracked on a project basis and are allocated based on management’s estimate.

The process of conducting pre-clinical studies and clinical trials necessary to obtain FDA approval is costly and time consuming.  The probability of success for each product candidate and clinical trial may be affected by a variety of factors, including, among others, the quality of the product candidate’s early clinical data, investment in the program, competition, manufacturing capabilities and commercial viability.  As a result of the uncertainties discussed above, the uncertainty associated with clinical trial enrollments and the risks inherent in the development process, we are unable to determine the duration and completion costs of current or future clinical stages of our product candidates or when, or to what extent, we will generate revenues from the commercialization and sale of any of our product candidates.
 
Development timelines, probability of success and development costs vary widely.  We are currently focused on developing our two most advanced product candidates, CRMD003 for the prevention of CRBI and maintenance of catheter patency and CRMD001 for the prevention of CIN indication.  We expect to raise additional funds at a later date in order to fully complete the development of CRMD003 and CRMD001, to further develop CRMD002 or CRMD004 through and beyond the pre-clinical stage, to develop CRMD001 for the CKD indication (should we decide to pursue such development) or to develop any new product candidates.
 
General and Administrative Expense
 
General and administrative, or G&A, expense consists primarily of salaries and other related costs, including stock-based compensation expense, for persons serving in our executive, finance and accounting functions.  Other G&A expense includes facility-related costs not otherwise included in R&D expense, promotional expenses, costs associated with industry and trade shows, and professional fees for legal services and accounting services.  We expect that our G&A expenses will increase if we add personnel and as a result of the continued reporting obligations applicable to public companies.  From our inception on July 28, 2006 through June 30, 2011, we spent $9,502,700 on G&A expense.
 
Interest Income and Interest Expense
 
Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents.  Interest expense consists of interest incurred on our convertible notes up to their automatic conversion into Units or common stock upon the completion of the IPO on March 30, 2010, as well as the amortization and write-off of deferred financing costs and debt discounts and a charge for the beneficial conversion relating to our convertible notes.
 
Results of Operations
 
Three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to three months ended June 30, 2010
 
Research and Development Expense.  R&D expense was $1,582,348 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $1,021,658, from $560,690 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase was primarily attributable to higher patient recruitment charges for our phase II study of CRMD001 which completed enrollment in June 2011, in addition to clinical research organization, manufacturing and regulatory expenses related to the development of CRMD003 and higher personnel costs as a result of hiring two employees in the areas of clinical operations and product development during the third quarter of 2010.

General and Administrative Expense.  G&A expense was $898,024 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $280,249 from $617,775 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase was primarily attributable to stock-based compensation expense of $233,299 during the second quarter of 2011 compared to $188,841 during the second quarter of 2010 primarily attributed to the portion of stock options granted to our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and all of the stock options granted to our Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, and non-employee directors in connection with our IPO in March 2010 and the stock options granted to our non-employee directors in January 2011.  The increase in G&A expense also reflects the increased costs of operating as a publicly-traded company following our IPO in March 2010, which includes filing fees related to the listing of our common stock, as well as increased legal, investor relations and consulting fees.
 
Interest Income.  Interest income was $3,259 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $2,424, from $5,683 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The decrease was attributable to having a lower interest-bearing cash balance during the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010.
 
Six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to six months ended June 30, 2010
 
Research and Development Expense.  R&D expense was $2,757,890 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $529,809, from $3,287,699 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a charge of $2,217,924 during the six months ended June 30, 2010  related to our issuance of 828,024 shares of our common stock valued at $3.125 per share to our licensors (of which 118,289 shares are being held in escrow) as a result of anti-dilution adjustments in connection with the conversion of our outstanding convertible debt to common stock upon the closing of the IPO, which anti-dilution provisions expired upon the closing of the IPO.  There was no corresponding charge during the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The decrease was also a result of $209,647 of stock-based compensation expense reversed during the first quarter of 2011, which was related to the forfeitures of unvested options to purchase 327,130 shares of common stock by our former Chief Medical Officer, or CMO, in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement upon the expiration of his employment term in February 2011.  The decrease was partially offset by $22,070 of stock-based compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2011 primarily attributed to the portion of stock options granted to our President and CEO in connection with our IPO in March 2010 and the stock options granted to our new CMO in February 2011, as well as increased clinical, clinical research organization, manufacturing and regulatory expenses related to our phase II clinical trial of CRMD001 which completed patient recruitment in June 2011, higher manufacturing, regulatory and clinical research organization costs related to the development of CRMD003 and higher personnel costs as a result of hiring two employees in the areas of clinical operations and product development during the third quarter of 2010.
 
General and Administrative Expense.  G&A expense was $1,732,506 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $467,888 from $1,264,618 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase was primarily attributable to stock-based compensation expense of $409,017 during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $307,056 during the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily attributed to the portion of stock options granted to our CEO and all of the stock options granted to our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and non-employee directors in connection with our IPO in March 2010 and the stock options granted to our non-employee directors in January 2011.  The increase in G&A expense also reflects the increased costs of operating as a publicly-traded company following our IPO in March 2010, which includes filing fees related to the listing of our common stock, as well as increased legal, investor relations and consulting fees.

Interest Income.  Interest income was $8,426 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $2,715 from $5,711 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The increase was attributable to having a higher interest-bearing cash balance during the six months ended June 30, 2011 as a result of the funds received from the completion of our IPO in March 2010, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010.
 
Interest Expense.  Interest expense was $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $3,093,763 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The decrease was attributable to the conversion of all our convertible notes during the first quarter of 2010 in connection with the IPO in March 2010.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Sources of Liquidity
 
As a result of our significant R&D expenditures and the lack of any approved products to generate product sales revenue, we have not been profitable and have generated operating losses since we were incorporated in July 2006.  Prior to the IPO, we had funded our operations principally with $14,364,973 in convertible notes sold in private placements and $625,464 in related party notes, which were also convertible.  All of our convertible notes were automatically converted into 1,237,293 shares of common stock and 2,338,576 Units comprised of 4,677,152 shares of common stock and 2,841,603 warrants at an exercise price of $3.4375.  We received net proceeds of $10,457,270 from the IPO, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses payable by us upon the closing of the IPO on March 30, 2010.  Additionally, we received a total of approximately $490,000 from federal grants under the Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project program and a total of approximately $281,000 from the sale of our unused net operating losses through the State of New Jersey’s Economic Development Authority Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program and a total of approximately $35,000 from qualified R&D expenditures refunded to us through the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance under the Qualifying Emerging Technology Incentive Program.

Net cash used in operating activities was $3,543,826 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The net loss of $4,452,151 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was higher than cash used in operating activities by $908,325.  The primary reasons for the difference is attributed to a stock-based compensation charge of $431,087, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $348,357 which consists of  manufacturing costs, clinical research organization and insurance premiums during the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase in accounts payable of $297,541 related to increased clinical development costs, offset by a decrease in accrued expenses of $173,682 which resulted from bonus payments made during the first quarter of 2011 for performance related to 2010.
 
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $1,625 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, which was attributable to the purchase of computer equipment.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2010 consisted of the sale of equity securities issued in our IPO, through which we received gross proceeds of $12,512,500.  The gross proceeds of $12,512,500 were offset by underwriting discounts and commissions of $1,063,563, corporate finance fees of $225,250, and reimbursable legal fees for counsel to the underwriters of $90,000, in addition to other offering costs and expenses of $676,417, consisting primarily of legal, accounting, printing and filing fees.  Net cash provided by financing activities was $10,457,270 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
 
Funding Requirements
 
Our total cash on hand as of June 30, 2011 was $4,738,233, compared to $8,283,684 at December 31, 2010.  Since our business does not generate positive operating cash flow, we will need to either raise additional capital before we exhaust our current cash resources in order to continue to fund our R&D, including our long-term plans for clinical trials and new product development, as well as to fund operations generally.  Our continued operations will depend on whether we are able to raise additional funds through various potential sources, such as equity and or, debt financing, strategic relationships, or out-licensing of our products.  As of June 30, 2011, we have funded our operations primarily through debt financings, the IPO, and our receipt of a total of approximately $490,000 from federal grants under the Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project program, approximately $281,000 from the sale of our unused net operating losses through the State of New Jersey’s Economic Development Authority Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program and $35,000 from qualified R&D expenditures refunded to us through the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance under the Qualifying Emerging Technology Incentive Program.
 
We expect to continue to fund operations from cash on hand and through either capital raising sources as previously described above, which may be dilutive to existing stockholders, or through generating revenues from the licensing of our products or strategic alliances.  We plan to seek additional debt and/or equity financing, but can provide no assurances that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.  Moreover, the incurrence of indebtedness in connection with a debt financing would result in increased fixed obligations and could also result in covenants that would restrict our operations.
 
Our actual cash requirements may vary materially from those now planned, however, because of a number of factors including the changes in the focus and direction of our R&D, the acquisition and pursuit of development of new product candidates, competitive and technical advances, costs of commercializing any of the product candidates, and costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and any other intellectual property rights.
 
We do not anticipate that we will generate any product revenue for 2011. In the absence of additional funding, we expect our continuing operating losses to result in increases in our cash used in operations over the next several quarters and years.
 
Based on our cash resources at June 30, 2011, and our current plan of expenditure on continuing development of our current products, we believe that we have sufficient capital to fund our operations into the first quarter of 2012, and will need additional financing until we can achieve profitability, if ever.  If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may not be able to market our products as planned or continue development and regulatory approval of our products, or we could be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our R&D programs.  Each of these alternatives would likely have a material adverse effect on the prospects of our business.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments, including those described below.  We base our estimates on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results and experiences may differ materially from these estimates.
 
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 11, 2011, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results and affects the more significant judgments and estimates that we use in the preparation of our financial statements.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
Share-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period on a straight-line basis.
 
We account for stock options granted to non-employees on a fair value basis using the Black-Scholes option pricing method.  The non-cash charge to operations for non-employee options with vesting are revalued at the end of each reporting period based upon the change in the fair value of the options and amortized to consulting expense over the related contract service period.
 
For the purpose of valuing options and warrants granted to our employees, non-employees and directors and officers during the three months ended June 30, 2011, we used the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  For the purpose of valuing performance based options granted to a non-employee during the three months ended June 30, 2011, we used the standard Monte Carlo stock price simulation method.  As of June 30, 2011, no non-employee stock options had vested as the vesting of such stock options is contingent upon various performance metrics which have not been achieved as of June 30, 2011.  To estimate the number of stock options expected to vest, the Company used the Monte Carlo stock price simulation method.  The Monte Carlo analysis uses several random simulations along with performance vesting metrics, an initial stock price of $1.72, expected volatility of 100% for the one-year period of the vesting contingency and a one-year risk-free rate of 0.25%.  The Company then used the results of the Monte Carlo analysis together with the Black-Scholes option pricing method to estimate the fair value of the options issued.  The Black-Scholes option pricing method criteria to determine the related non-cash charge to operations included:  an initial stock price of $1.72, volatility of 110%, a one year contractual service period, an expected exercise term of 5 years and a  risk free rate of 1.75%.  We granted options to purchase an aggregate of 826,000 and 1,589,215 shares of common stock to our employees, non-employees and directors and officers during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  To determine the risk-free interest rate, we utilized the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with a term consistent with the expected term of our awards.  We estimated the expected term of the options granted based on anticipated exercises in future periods assuming the success of our business model as currently forecasted.  The expected dividend yield reflects our current and expected future policy for dividends on our common stock.  The expected stock price volatility for our stock options was calculated by examining historical volatilities for publicly traded industry peers, since we do not have any trading history for our common stock.  We will continue to analyze the expected stock price volatility and expected term assumptions as more historical data for our common stock becomes available.  During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company has experienced forfeitures of options issued to its former CMO, Chairman and Board member.  Since the stock options currently outstanding are primarily held by our senior management and directors we will continue to evaluate the effects of such future potential forfeitures, as they may arise, to ascertain an estimated forfeiture rate.

Use of Proceeds
 
Our IPO was effected through a Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (Registration No. 333-163380), that was declared effective by the SEC on March 24, 2010.  The net offering proceeds to us, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses payable by us, were approximately $10.5 million.  No offering expenses were paid directly or indirectly to any of our directors or officers (or their associates) or persons owning ten percent or more of any class of our equity securities or to any other affiliates.  Of the net proceeds of $10.5 million, we have used approximately $4.8 million for R&D expenditures and approximately $3.4 million for general working capital expenditures through the end of the second quarter of 2011.  We have invested the unused proceeds from the IPO in an interest bearing savings account.
