1.	Operations and Organization

Operations

Rexahn Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company", "Rexahn Pharmaceuticals", “we”, or “us”), a Delaware corporation, is a development stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative treatments for cancer, central nervous system (CNS) disorders, sexual dysfunction and other medical needs. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $34,411,524 at September 30, 2009 and anticipates incurring losses through the remainder of fiscal 2009 and beyond. The Company has not yet generated commercial sales revenue and has been able to fund its operating losses to date through the sale of its common stock, units, issuance of long-term debt, and proceeds from reimbursed research and development costs. Management has the capability of managing the Company’s operations within existing cash available by reducing research and development activities. This may result in slowing down clinical studies, but will conserve the Company’s cash to allow it to operate for the next twelve months.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The accompanying condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The Company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure through November 16, 2009, which was the date we filed this Form 10-Q with the SEC.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become available.

2.	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Affecting the Company

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued authoritative guidance to require that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably determined. If the fair value of such assets or liabilities cannot be reasonably determined, then they would generally be recognized in accordance with certain other pre-existing accounting standards. This guidance also amends the subsequent accounting for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination and certain other disclosure requirements. This guidance becomes effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations that are consummated during the Company’s fiscal 2010 and it is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s September 30, 2009 interim financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to eliminate the exception to consolidate a qualifying special-purpose entity, change the approach to determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and require companies to more frequently re-assess whether they must consolidate variable interest entities. Under the new guidance, the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is identified qualitatively as the enterprise that has both (a) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. This guidance becomes effective for the Company’s fiscal 2011 year-end and interim reporting periods thereafter. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB established the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption. Accordingly, the Company’s notes to the financial statements will explain accounting concepts rather than cite the topics of specific U.S. GAAP.

5.	Intangible Asset, Net

On February 10, 2005, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Revaax Pharmaceuticals LLC ("Revaax"), whereby the Company received an exclusive, worldwide, royalty bearing license, with the right to sub-license Revaax's licensed technology and products. The agreement called for an initial licensing fee of $375,000 to be payable to Revaax in eight quarterly installments ending on November 10, 2006. Accordingly, the Revaax license was measured at fair value at the date the licensing agreement was entered into. The fair value of the license component of $356,216 was determined by discounting the stream of future quarterly payments of $46,875 at 6%, the prevailing market rate for a debt instrument of comparable maturity and credit quality. The asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 20 years. The discount was accreted over the term of the liability, calculated based on the Company's estimated effective market interest rate of 6%. Amortization expense was $4,453 for each of the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and $13,358 and $13,359 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Management does not believe that there is an impairment of intangible asset at September 30, 2009.

7.	Deferred Revenue

In 2003, the Company entered into a collaborative research agreement with Rexgene Biotech Co., Ltd. ("Rexgene"), a minority shareholder. Rexgene is engaged in the development of pharmaceutical products in Asia and has agreed to assist the Company with the research, development and clinical trials necessary for registration of the Company's drug candidate, RX-0201, in Asia. This agreement provides Rexgene with exclusive rights to license, sublicense, make, have made, use, sell and import RX-0201 in Asia. A one-time contribution to the joint development and research of RX-0201 of $1,500,000 was paid to the Company in 2003 in accordance with the agreement. The amount of revenue from this contribution is being recognized as income over the term of the agreement which terminates at the later of 20 years or the term of the patent on the licensed product. The Company is using 20 years as its basis for recognition and accordingly $56,250 was included in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The remaining $993,750 at September 30, 2009 (December 31, 2008 - $1,050,000) is reflected as deferred revenue on the balance sheet. The contribution is being used in the cooperative funding of the costs of development of RX-0201. Royalties of 3% of net sales of licensed products will become payable to the Company on a quarterly basis once commercial sales of RX-0201 begin. The product is still under development and commercial sales are not expected to begin until at least 2012.

8.	Other Liabilities

Deferred Lease Incentive

On June 29, 2009, the Company entered into a five year office lease agreement with The Realty Associates Fund V, LP (“lessor”), as discussed in note 13. The lessor agreed to grant a leasehold improvement allowance of $100,000 to the Company to be used for construction cost of the improvements, architectural and engineering fees, government agency plan check, permit and other fees, sales and use taxes, testing and inspection costs, construction fees and telephone and data cabling and wiring in the premises. As at September 30, 2009, the full amount of leasehold improvement allowance has been used up by the Company. The Company accounts for the benefit of the leasehold improvement allowance as a reduction of rental expense over the term of the lease which is 5 years.

The following table sets forth the deferred lease incentive:

	September 30, 2009			December 31, 2008

Deferred lease incentive	$	100,000		$	-
Less accumulated amortization		(5,000	)		-

Balance	$	95,000		$	-

Deferred Office Lease Expense

The office lease agreement, as discussed above, requires an initial annual base rent of $76,524 with increases over the next five years. The Company recognizes rental expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which results in a deferred rent liability of $15,835 as at September 30, 2009.

Deferred Lab Lease Expense

On May 21, 2009, the Company entered into a 1 year agreement to use lab space commencing on July 1, 2009. The lessor granted free rent to the Company for the period from July 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009. The Company recognizes rental expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which results in a deferred rent liability of $10,336 as at September 30, 2009.

9.	Net Loss per Common Share

We compute basic loss per share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and excluding any potential dilution. Net loss per common share assuming dilution was computed by reflecting potential dilution from the exercise of stock options and warrants. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, there were stock options and warrants to acquire 13,455,267 and 7,402,943 shares of our common stock respectively. These shares were excluded from the computations of diluted loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

10.	Stockholders’ Equity

The following transactions have occurred from March 19, 2001 (inception) to September 30, 2009:

On May 10, 2001, the Company issued 3,600,000 shares of common stock to the Company's founders for $1.

Summary of Stock Option Transactions

There were 30,000 stock options granted at an exercise price of $1.05 with a fair value of $6,989 and 100,000 stock options granted at an exercise price of $1.28 with a fair value of $100,769 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. A total of 750,000 stock options were granted in the same period last year. The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company's stock. The expected term is based upon the simplified method.

The assumptions made in calculating the fair values of options are as follows:

14.	Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No.157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”) as of January 1, 2008. FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, not adjusted for transaction costs. FAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The three levels are described below:

Level 1 Inputs —

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that is accessible by the Company;

Level 2 Inputs —

Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 Inputs —

Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including significant assumptions of the Company and other market participants.

The Company determines fair values for its financial assets as follows:

The following tables present our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value.

Item 2

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

Our efforts and resources have been focused primarily on acquiring and developing our pharmaceutical technologies, raising capital and recruiting personnel. We are a development stage company and have no product sales to date and we will not generate any product sales until we receive approval from the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) or equivalent foreign regulatory bodies to begin selling our pharmaceutical candidates. Our major sources of working capital have been proceeds from various private financings, primarily private sales of common stock and debt securities, and collaboration agreements with our strategic investors.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. This Quarterly Report contains statements accompanied by such phrases as "believe", "estimate", "expect", "anticipate", "may", "intend" and other similar expressions, that are "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those projected as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the following:

—

our lack of profitability and the need for additional capital to operate our business;

—

our ability to obtain the necessary U.S. and worldwide regulatory approvals for our drug candidates;

—

successful and timely completion of clinical trials for our drug candidates;

—

demand for and market acceptance of our drug candidates;

—

the availability of qualified third-party researchers and manufacturers for our drug development programs;

—

our ability to develop and obtain protection of our intellectual property; and

—

other risks and uncertainties, including those detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The safe harbors for forward-looking statements provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act are unavailable to issuers of "penny stock". Our shares may be considered a penny stock and, as a result, the safe harbors may not be available to us.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A "critical accounting policy" is one which is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and requires our management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our accounting policies are in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and their basis of application is consistent with that of the previous year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become available.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Table of Contents

In June 2009, the FASB established the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption. Accordingly, the Company’s notes to the financial statements will explain accounting concepts rather than cite the topics of specific U.S. GAAP.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:

Total Revenues

For each of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, we recorded revenues of $18,750 and $56,250, respectively. We recorded the same amounts in the periods of 2008. In all periods, the revenue reflects the recognition of deferred revenue from a collaborative research agreement with Rexgene Biotech Co., Ltd., a minority stockholder.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel and stock option compensation expenses for executive, finance and other administrative personnel, recruitment expenses, professional fees and other corporate expenses, including business development and general legal activities.

General and administrative expenses increased $78,699, or 12.2%, to $724,067 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $645,368 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. General and administrative expenses increased $391,985, or 20.7% to $2,285,804 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $1,893,819 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in both periods was primarily due to higher stock option compensation, investor relation expenses, audit fees, including fees to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley, and investor relation expenses.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs, fees paid to consultants and outside service providers for laboratory development and other expenses relating to the design, development, testing, and enhancement of our drug candidates. We expense our research and development costs as they are incurred.

Research and development expenses decreased $143,296, or 25.2%, to $424,609 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $567,905 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of clinical studies for our drug candidates, drug manufacturing, and lab supplies. Research and development expenses increased $599,689, or 42.3%, to $2,018,766 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $1,419,077 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase was primarily due to an increase of multiple clinical studies for our drug candiates.

Table of Contents

Patent Fees

Our patent fees increased $50,044, or 86.9%, to $107,618 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $57,574 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Patent fees increased $94,643, or 57.8%, to $258,421 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $163,778 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increases in both periods were primarily due to the filing of additional patent applications and documentation and attorney fees related to the increased filings.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased $34,715, or 66.6%, to $17,407 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $52,122 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Interest income decreased $187,930, or 85.3%, to $32,309 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $220,239 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decreases in both periods were primarily due to decrease in interest-bearing investments and lower interest rates.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $3,417, or 24.6%, to $17,292 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $13,875 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase was primarily due to higher amortization recorded on equipment due to new additions. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $64, or 0.2%, to $41,638 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $41,574 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Net Loss

As a result of the above, the net loss for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $1,237,429 and $4,505,045, respectively, or $0.02 and $0.08 per share, respectively, compared to a net loss of $1,213,850 and $3,264,124, respectively, or $0.02 and $0.06 per share, respectively, for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Research and Development Projects

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs, costs to acquire pharmaceutical products and product rights for development and amounts paid to contract research organizations, hospitals and laboratories for the provision of services and materials for drug development and clinical trials. Costs incurred in obtaining the license rights to technology in the research and development stage and that have no alternative future uses are expensed as incurred. Our research and development programs are related to our three clinical stage lead drug candidates, Archexin™, Serdaxin™ and Zoraxel™ and pre-clinical stage oncology drug candidates RX-0183, RX-3117 and RX-5902. Each of our lead drug candidates is in various stages of completion as described below. As we expand our clinical studies, we will enter into additional development agreements. Significant additional expenditures will be required if we complete our clinical trials, start new trials, apply for regulatory approvals, continue development of our technologies, expand our operations and bring our products to market. The eventual total cost of each clinical trial is dependent on a number of uncertainties such as trial design, the length of the trial, the number of clinical sites and the number of patients. The process of obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals for new therapeutic products is lengthy, expensive and uncertain. Because the successful development of our most advanced drug candidates, Archexin™, Serdaxin™ and Zoraxel™, is uncertain, and because RX-0183, RX-3117 and RX-5902 are in early-stage development, we are unable to estimate the costs of completing our research and development programs, the timing of bringing such programs to market and, therefore, when material cash inflows could commence from the sale of these drug candidates. If these projects are not completed as planned, our results of operations and financial condition could be negatively affected and if we are unable to obtain additional financing to fund these projects, we may not be able to continue as a going concern.

Archexin™

In October 2006, we announced the conclusion of the Phase I clinical trial of Archexin™, our leading drug candidate. The costs incurred for the clinical trial were approximately $1,500,000.

The Phase I clinical trial of Archexin™, which took place at Georgetown University's Lombardi Cancer Center beginning in September 2004 and at the University of Alabama at Birmingham beginning in August 2005, was primarily to determine the safety and tolerability of the drug in patients with advanced cancer. As the main purpose of the clinical trial was to establish the safety of Archexin ™, the parameters that determined the completion of this project were a direct function of the safety profile of this compound in humans. As this was the first time that Archexin™ had been administered to humans, the safety profile in humans was unknown and, therefore, the number of doses required to determine the dosage at which the FDA safety endpoints would be met was estimated.

Table of Contents

The Phase II clinical trial of Archexin™ began in the third quarter of 2007 in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma who have failed previous treatments. The trial is the first of multiple trials planned for Archexin™. Phase II clinical trials for pancreatic cancer began in the first quarter of 2009. We estimate that the Phase II trials of each indication will be completed in 2010 and will require approximately $5,000,000. In January 2005, we received "orphan drug designation" from the FDA for Archexin™ for five cancer indications, including renal cell carcinoma, ovarian cancer, glioblastoma, stomach cancer, and pancreatic cancer. The orphan drug program is intended to provide patients with faster access to drug therapies for diseases and conditions that affect fewer than 200,000 people. Companies that receive orphan drug designation are provided an accelerated review process, tax advantages, and seven years of market exclusivity in the United States. In the future, we plan to apply Archexin™ to the treatment of other orphan indications and other cancers.

Serdaxin™

SerdaxinTM is being developed to treat depression and mood disorders, and has proven and well-established safety in humans. Phase II trials began in the first quarter of 2009. We currently estimate that Phase II trials will require $2,000,000 through the end of 2011.

Zoraxel™

Zoraxel™ is a CNS-based sexual dysfunction drug that has extensive and excellent safety in humans. Zoraxel™ entered Phase II trials in the first half of 2008. We currently estimate that these studies will require approximately $1,500,000 through the end of 2010.

Pre-clinical pipeline

Our early stage cancer candidates, RX-0183, RX-3117 and RX-5902 are in a pre-clinical stage of development and the next scheduled program for each compound is a pre-clinical toxicology study required prior to submission of an Investigational New Drug ("IND") application to the FDA. The estimated cost to complete pre-clinical toxicology and Phase I clinical trials is estimated to be approximately $1,500,000 per each compound for a total of $4,500,000. Pursuant to a research and exclusive license option with Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (“Teva”), the Company must use $2 million of the gross proceeds from the issuance and sale of shares of common stock to Teva to fund a research and development program for the pre-clinical development and drug manufacturing of RX-3117. These compounds may enter Phase I clinical trials in 2010.

The conduct of the clinical trial and toxicology studies described above are being accomplished in conjunction with third-party clinical research organizations, or CROs, at external locations. This business practice is typical for the pharmaceutical industry and companies like us. As a result, the risk of completion or delay of these studies is not within our direct control and a program delay may occur due to circumstances outside our control. A delay in any of these programs may not necessarily have a direct impact on our daily operations. However, to the extent that a delay may result in additional cost, a higher than expected expense may result.

We will need to raise additional money through debt offerings, equity offerings and research funding from outside parties in order to continue to develop our drug candidates. If we are not able to raise sufficient additional money, we will have to severely reduce our research and development activities. We will first stop research and development activities associated with our preclinical compounds. To the extent necessary, we will then reduce our research and development activities related to some or all of our clinical drugs and may also reduce our general and administrative expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash used in operating activities was $3,758,540 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to cash used in operating activities of $3,120,970 for the same period ended September 30, 2008. The operating cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 reflect our loss from operations of $4,505,045 and a net increase in cash components of working capital and non-cash charges totaling $746,505.

Cash provided by investing activities of $1,444,917 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 consisted of $2,100,533 classified as restricted cash equivalents, $15,805 used in the purchase of equipment, $1,196,824 used in the purchase of marketable securities and $4,758,079 from the proceeds from the sales of marketable securities. Cash used in investing activities was $1,398,292 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Table of Contents

Cash provided by financing activities of $6,085,851 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 consisted of net proceeds from the offering of units and the issuance of common stock.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we experienced net losses of $4,505,045. Our accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2009 was $34,411,524.

The Company has not yet generated commercial sales revenue and has been able to fund its operating losses to date through the sale of its common stock, convertible debt financings, interest income from investments of cash and cash equivalents and proceeds from reimbursed research and development costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we had a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $3,772,228. Total cash as of September 30, 2009 were $4,141,358 compared to $369,130 as of December 31, 2008. The Company believes that its existing cash will be sufficient to cover its cash flow requirements through September 30, 2010. Management has the capability of managing the Company’s operations within existing cash and marketable securities available by reducing research and development activities and general and administrative expenses. This may result in slowing down clinical studies, but will conserve the Company’s cash to allow it to operate for the next twelve months.

On October 26, 2009, the Company received gross proceeds of $5,000,000 for the sale to five institutional investors of 6,072,383 shares of common stock at $0.8234 per share and warrants to buy an additional 2,125,334 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Rodman acted as the exclusive placement agent for this transaction and received warrants to purchase 245,932 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.029 per share. The Company is planning to use the proceeds from the offering for research and development and general corporate purposes. Upon completion of the offering on October 26, 2009, the Company had 71,924,496 shares outstanding and stockholders' equity in excess of $9 million.

CURRENT AND FUTURE FINANCING NEEDS

We have incurred negative cash flow from operations since we started our business. We have spent, and expect to continue to spend, substantial amounts in connection with implementing our business strategy, including our planned product development efforts, our clinical trials, and our research and development efforts. Based on our current plans and our capital resources, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to enable us to meet our minimum planned operating needs for at least the next 12 months, which would entail focusing our resources on Phase II clinical trials of Archexin™, Serdaxin™ and Zoraxel™.

Over the next twelve months we expect to spend a minimum of approximately $2 million on clinical development for Phase II clinical trials of Archexin™, Serdaxin™ and Zoraxel™ (including our commitments described under "Contractual Obligations" of this Item 2), $600,000 on development of our pre-clinical pipeline compounds, $3.8 million on general corporate expenses, and approximately $170,000 on facilities rent. Pursuant to a research and exclusive license option with Teva, the Company must use $2 million of the gross proceeds from the issuance and sale of shares of common stock to Teva to fund a research and development program for the pre-clinical development of RX-3117. We will need to seek additional financing to implement and fund other drug candidate development, clinical trial and research and development efforts to the maximum extent of our operating plan, including in-vivo animal and pre-clinical studies, Phase II clinical trials for new product candidates, as well as other research and development projects, which together with the minimum operating plan over the next twelve months, could aggregate up to $9 million. If we are not able to secure additional financing, we will not be able to implement and fund the research and development.

However, the actual amount of funds we will need to operate is subject to many factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include the following:

—

the progress of our product development activities;

—

the number and scope of our product development programs;

—

the progress of our pre-clinical and clinical trial activities;

—

the progress of the development efforts of parties with whom we have entered into collaboration agreements;

—

our ability to maintain current collaboration programs and to establish new collaboration arrangements;

—

the costs involved in prosecuting and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights; and

—

the costs and timing of regulatory approvals.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that:

information required to be disclosed by the Company in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act would be accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure;

information required to be disclosed by the Company in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act would be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and

the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to them, particularly during the period in which the periodic reports of the Company, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, are being prepared.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
