OCULUS INNOVATIVE SCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Oculus Innovative Sciences, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State
of California in April 1999 and was reincorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in
December 2006. The Companys principal office is located in Petaluma, California. The Company
develops, manufactures and markets a family of products intended to prevent and treat infections in
chronic and acute wounds. The Companys platform technology, called Microcyn, is a proprietary
oxychlorine small molecule formulation that is designed to treat a wide range of organisms that
cause disease, or pathogens, including viruses, fungi, spores and antibiotic resistant strains of
bacteria. The Company conducts its business worldwide, with significant operating subsidiaries in
Europe and Mexico.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008
and for the three and nine months then ended have been prepared in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and
pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) and on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial
statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, condensed
consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008 and
2007, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended December
31, 2008 and 2007 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the three and
nine months ended December 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for
the year ending March 31, 2009 or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance
sheet at March 31, 2008 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements. However,
it does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2008, and notes thereto included in
the Companys Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on June 13, 2008.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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 disclosures of
contingent liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Periodically, the Company
evaluates and adjusts estimates accordingly. The allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable
balances amounted to $9,000 and $31,000, which are included in accounts receivable, net in the
accompanying December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2008 condensed consolidated balance sheets,
respectively.
Foreign Currency Reporting
The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation
(SFAS 52). Accordingly, the Companys subsidiary, Oculus Technologies of Mexico, S.A. de C.V.
(OTM) uses the local currency (Mexican Pesos) as its functional currency, Oculus Innovative
Sciences Netherlands, B.V. (OIS Europe) uses the local currency (Euro) as its functional currency
and Oculus Innovative Sciences Japan, K.K. (OIS Japan) uses the local currency (Yen) as its
functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the
balance sheet date, and revenue and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates
during the period. Resulting translation adjustments were recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive loss in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2008
and March 31, 2008.
Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) relate primarily to working capital loans that the
Company has made to its subsidiary OIS Japan and trade payables and receivables between
subsidiaries OTM and OIS Europe. These transactions are expected to be settled in the
6
Table of Contents
foreseeable future. The Company recorded foreign currency transaction gains (losses) of
$(65,000) and $324,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and the
Company recorded foreign currency transaction gains (losses) of $(25,000) and $1,135,000 for the
nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The related gains (losses) were
recorded in other income (expense) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of
operations. Loans made to its subsidiaries OTM and OIS Europe are expected be paid back to the
Company as cash flows sufficient to repay the loans are generated.
The Company and its OTM and OIS Europe subsidiaries periodically re-evaluate the operating
plans and liquidity circumstances of each operating subsidiaries. The Company and its Mexico and
Netherlands subsidiaries determined that the subsidiaries lack the ability to repay the outstanding
balances of their respective intercompany loans in the foreseeable future. As a result, the Company
renegotiated the terms of its notes with its Mexico and Netherlands subsidiaries. The Companys
board of directors memorialized the working capital loan agreements. The terms of the new loan
agreements extend the maturity date of the loans plus all accrued interest for an additional five
years to April 1, 2013. In the event the loans cannot be settled at the maturity date, the parties
may agree that the loans will be renewed for periods of three years. The Company and its
subsidiaries have agreed that interest will compound and accrue at the initial rate of 4.65% and
shall be adjusted upward to the applicable federal rate, or AFR, for mid-term debt established by
the U.S. Internal Revenue Service if the AFR for mid-term debt is higher than the initial rate on
the first day of each calendar quarter.
Due to the renegotiation of the loans and the lack of ability to predict if the loans will be
settled in the foreseeable future, the Company believes it was appropriate to evaluate its
treatment of foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the translation of the loans from
local currency to U.S. Dollars. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 52, if it is determined
that an intercompany loan will not be repaid in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and
losses related to the translation of the loans from local currency to U.S. Dollars should be
classified as other comprehensive income and loss. The Company believes that given the inability to
foresee settlement of the loans, it is appropriate to record the exchange gains and losses related
to these loans in other comprehensive income and loss.
Net Loss per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 Earnings Per Share.
Under SFAS No. 128, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss per share available
to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period
and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share, if
presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all
potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the treasury stock and/or if converted
methods, as applicable. The computation of basic loss per share excludes potentially dilutive
securities because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The following securities were excluded from basic and diluted net loss per share calculation
because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive (in thousands):

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for the issuance of common stock purchase warrants issued and other
freestanding derivative financial instruments in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues
Task Force Issue (EITF) 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and
Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock (EITF 00-19). Based on the provisions of EITF
00-19, the Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or
net-share settlement or (ii) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its
own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or
liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash
settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company) or
(ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical
settlement or net-share settlement).
7
Table of Contents
The Company completed a classification assessment of all of its freestanding derivative
financial instruments as of December 31, 2008 and determined that such instruments meet the
criteria for equity classification in accordance with EITF 00-19.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (SFAS 162). SFAS 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a
consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing
financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles. The guidance in SFAS 162 replaces that prescribed in Statement on Auditing Standards
No. 69, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,
and becomes effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Boards auditing amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in
Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The adoption of SFAS 162 will not have an
impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible
Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)
This FSP clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion
(including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14,
Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, this
FSP specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and
equity components in a manner that will reflect the entitys nonconvertible debt borrowing rate
when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. This FSP is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of determining the impact FSP APB 14-1 will have
on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in
Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. This FSP addresses whether
instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to
vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per
share (EPS) under the two-class method described in paragraphs 60 and 61 of FASB Statement No. 128,
Earnings per Share. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. The Company is in the
process of determining the impact FSP EITF 03-6-1 will have on its consolidated financial
statements.
In December 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument
(or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entitys Own Stock. This issue addresses the determination
of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entitys own stock, which is the
first part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of Statement 133. This issue is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of determining the impact EITF 07-5 will
have on its consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB, the EITF, the SEC
and or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not
expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Note 2. Going Concern, Liquidity and Financial Condition
The Company incurred a net loss of $3,320,000 and $15,431,000 for the three and nine months ended
December 31, 2008, respectively. At December 31, 2008, the Companys accumulated deficit amounted
to $106,257,000. During the nine months ended December 31, 2008, net cash used in operating
activities amounted to $14,592,000. At December 31, 2008, the Companys working capital amounted to
$647,000. The Company needs to raise additional capital from external sources in order to sustain
its operations while continuing the longer term efforts contemplated under its business plan. The
Company expects to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future and must raise additional
capital to pursue its product development initiatives, penetrate markets for the sale of its
products and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will
raise additional capital. Management believes that the Company has access to capital resources
through possible public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations or
other means; however, the Company has not secured any commitment for new financing at this time nor
can it provide any assurance that new financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms,
if at all. If the economic climate in the U.S. does not improve or continues to deteriorate, the
Companys ability to raise additional capital could be negatively impacted. If the Company is
unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its research and development
initiatives and take additional measures to reduce
8
Table of Contents
costs in order to conserve its cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet it
obligations. These measures could cause significant delays in the Companys efforts to
commercialize its products in the United States, which is critical to the realization of its
business plan and the future operations of the Company. These matters raise substantial doubt about
the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern.
On April 1, 2008, the Company had a second closing, related to a registered direct offering
effectuated on March 31, 2008, of an additional 18,095 shares of its common stock at a purchase
price of $5.25 per share, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9,047 shares of common stock at
an exercise price of $6.85 per share for gross proceeds of $95,000 (net proceeds of $36,000 after
deducting the placement agents commission and other offering expenses).
On January 26, 2009, the Company closed the first of three installments related to a private
placement, of 427,759 shares of its common stock of which 294,691 shares were sold at a price of
$1.13 per share and of which 133,068 shares were sold at a price of $1.255 per share for total
proceeds of $500,000 and net proceeds of $450,000 (net of a $50,000 payment to a third party that
assisted with the transaction) (Note 9).
On January 30, 2009, the Company closed the second of three installments related to a private
placement of 427,759 shares of its common stock of which 294,691 shares were sold at a price of
$1.13 per share and of which 133,068 shares were sold at a price of $1.255 per share for total
proceeds of $500,000 (Note 9). This investment was made ahead of the scheduled date of March 2,
2009.
On February 6, 2009, the Company closed on a separate transaction with a group of accredited
investors whereby the Company raised $1,752,803 in gross proceeds through a private placement of
1,499,404 Units. The exclusive placement agent for the offering received $122,696 for their
services. The Company intends to use the proceeds received from the sale of the Units for working
capital and general corporate purposes (Note 9).

Notes Payable
On June 14, 2006, the Company entered into a credit facility providing it with up to
$5,000,000 of available credit. The facility permitted the Company to borrow up to a maximum of
$2,750,000 for growth capital, $1,250,000 for working capital based on eligible accounts receivable
and $1,000,000 in equipment financing. In June 2006, the Company drew an aggregate of $4,182,000 of
borrowings under this facility. These borrowings are payable in 30 to 33 fixed monthly installments
with interest at rates ranging from 12.4% to 12.7% per annum, maturing at various times through
April 9, 2009. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has no unused availability under this credit
facility since amounts drawn under the working capital facility were based upon an initial
measurement of eligible accounts receivable.
In connection with the borrowings under this facility, the Company also issued to the lender
warrants to purchase up to 71,521 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $18.00 per
share. The aggregate fair value of all warrants issued to the lender under this arrangement amounts
to $1,046,000. This amount was recorded as debt issue costs in the March 31, 2007 condensed
consolidated balance sheet and is being amortized as interest expense over the term of the credit
facility of 30 to 33 months. For the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company
recorded $89,000 and $107,000, respectively, of non-cash interest expense related to
the amortization of debt issue costs. For the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
the Company recorded $304,000 and $322,000, respectively, of non-cash interest expense related to
the amortization of debt issue costs.

Borrowings under the growth capital line are collateralized by certain assets of the Company.
Borrowings under the equipment line are collateralized by the underlying assets funded, and
borrowings under the working capital line are collateralized by eligible accounts receivable. On a
monthly basis, the Company must maintain a 1:1 ratio of borrowing under the working capital line to
eligible accounts receivable. The Company has 30 days from each measurement date to either increase
eligible accounts receivable or pay the excess principal in the event that the ratio is less than
1:1. No restrictive covenants exist for either the equipment line or the growth capital line. The
Company is not required to direct customer remittances to a lock box, nor does the credit agreement
provide for subjective acceleration of the loans.
On March 29, 2007, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the loan agreement evidencing
the credit facility described above. Pursuant to the amendment, the lender and the Company agreed
that the lenders security interest in the Companys assets would not include the Companys
intellectual property unless and until the Companys cash and cash equivalents fall below 600% of
the Companys average monthly operating expenses less non-cash charges. At December 31, 2008, the
Companys cash and cash equivalents position was not in excess of 600% of its average monthly
operating expenses and therefore the lender holds a security interest in the Companys intellectual
property. On an ongoing basis, the Company will periodically review and assess whether the lenders
security interest should include the Companys intellectual property. The Companys intellectual
property is used only as collateral and remains in the Companys control unless the lender takes
described action after an event of default by the Company under the loan agreements.
In connection with the notes issued under the above credit facility, for the three months
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company made $431,000 and $381,000 of principal payments,
respectively, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company made $1,254,000
and $1,108,000 of principal payments, respectively. Additionally, for the three months ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company made $27,000 and $77,000 of interest payments,
respectively, and for nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company made $120,000 and
$266,000 of interest payments, respectively. The aggregate remaining principal balance under this
facility amounted to $575,000, which is included in the current portion of long-term debt in the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2008.
Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
In November 2005, the Company identified a possible criminal misappropriation of its
technology in Mexico, and notified the Mexican Attorney Generals office of the matter. The Company
believes the Mexican Attorney General is currently conducting an investigation.
In June 2006, the Company received a written communication from the grantor of a license to an
earlier version of its technology indicating that such license was terminated due to an alleged
breach of the license agreement by the Company. The license agreement extends to the Companys use
of the technology in Japan only. While the Company does not believe that the grantors revocation
is valid under the terms of the license agreement and no legal claim has been threatened to date,
the Company cannot provide any assurance that the grantor will not take legal action to restrict
the Companys use of the technology in the licensed territory. While the Companys management does
not anticipate that the outcome of this matter is likely to result in a material loss, there can be
no assurance that if the grantor pursues legal action, such legal action would not have a material
adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In February 2007, the Companys Mexico subsidiary served Quimica Pasteur (QP), a former
distributor of the Companys products in Mexico, with a claim alleging breach of contract under a
note made by QP. A trial date has not yet been set.
The Company, from time to time, is involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of
its business including matters involving proprietary technology. While management believes that
such matters are currently not material, there can be no assurance that matters arising in the
ordinary course of business for which the Company is or could become involved in litigation, will
not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

Employment Agreements
As of December 31, 2008, the Company has entered into employment agreements with five of its
key executives. The agreements provide, among other things, for the payment of six to twenty-four
months of severance compensation for terminations under certain circumstances. With respect to
these agreements, at December 31, 2008, aggregated potential severance amounted to $1,828,000 and
aggregated annual salaries amounted to $1,180,000.
On September 4, 2008, the employment agreement of Mr. Mike Wokasch, the Companys Chief
Operating Officers was terminated, effective September 5, 2008. In connection with the
termination, the Company is required to provide Mr. Wokasch with a lump sum severance payment of
$275,000, which is equivalent to twelve months of his salary. Additionally, pursuant to the
employment agreement, upon termination all non-vested options that were outstanding at the
termination date became immediately exercisable. The Company recorded $1,168,000 of stock
compensation expense related to the acceleration of the vesting. The options will expire twelve
months from the date of termination, on September 5, 2009 (Note 6). The severance and stock
compensation expense was recorded as a selling, general and administrative expense in the
accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended December 31,
2008. The Company paid the severance on October 10, 2008.
Board Compensation
On April 26, 2007, the Companys board of directors adopted a Non-Employee Director
Compensation Package (the Compensation Package) to provide members of the board and its
committees with regular compensation. The Compensation Package provides for cash payments of
$25,000 in two equal installments to each of the non-employee members of the board of directors.
Directors who are members (but not the chairperson) of the audit committee receive an additional
$5,000 per year. Directors who are members (but not the chairperson) of the compensation committee
receive an additional $2,000 per year. The chairperson of the board of directors receives $15,000
annually, the lead director (if different from the chair person) receives $10,000 annually, the
chairperson of the audit committee receives $10,000 annually, and the chairperson of each other
committee receives $5,000 annually. Upon mutual agreement between the Compensation Committee and
the Non-Employee Directors, the Company may issue stock options in lieu of cash payments.
Additionally, the Compensation Package also provides for the grant of options to each non-employee
director under the 2006 Restated Stock Incentive Plan. Each new director will receive an initial
option grant to purchase 50,000 shares of the Companys common stock, which will vest over three
years, and each non-employee director will receive an automatic annual grant of an option to
purchase 15,000 shares of the Companys common stock, which will vest monthly over a period of one
year. The annual option grants were granted to non-employee directors following the annual
stockholders meeting on August 27, 2008. In connection with the annual awards, on September 2,
2008, the Company granted 15,000 options to each of four non-employee directors at an exercise
price of $2.82 per share which was the closing price of the Companys common stock on the date of
grant. Additionally, on December 9, 2008, the Company issued 25,000 options at $0.40 per share to
each of three Non-Employee Directors in lieu of cash payments that were due on November 1, 2008
(Note 6). One Non-Employee Director received a cash payment of $12,500.
Commercial Agreements
On May 8, 2007, and June 11, 2007, the Company entered into separate commercial agreements
with two unrelated customers granting such customers the exclusive right to sell the Companys
products in specified territories or for specified uses. Both customers are required to maintain
certain minimum levels of purchases of the Companys products in order to maintain the exclusive
right to sell the Companys products. Up-front payments amounting to $625,000 paid under these
agreements have been recorded as deferred revenue. The short-term portion of the deferred revenue
related to these agreements amounted to $97,500 which is included in accrued expenses and other
current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2008.
The up-front fees are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the underlying
agreements. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008, the Company amortized $24,000
and $73,000, respectively, of deferred revenue related to these agreements which is included in
product revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Other Matters
On September 16, 2005, the Company entered into a series of agreements with QP, a Mexico-based
company engaged in the business of distributing pharmaceutical products to hospitals and health
care entities owned or operated by the Mexican Ministry of Health. These agreements provided, among
other things, for QP to act as the Companys exclusive distributor of Microcyn to the Mexican
Ministry of Health for a period of three years. In connection with these agreements, the Company
was concurrently granted an option to acquire all
11
Table of Contents
except a minority share of the equity of QP directly from its principals in exchange for
150,000 shares of common stock, contingent upon QPs attainment of certain financial milestones.
The Companys distribution and related agreements were cancelable by the Company on thirty days
notice without cause and included certain provisions to hold the Company harmless from debts
incurred by QP outside the scope of the distribution and related agreements. The Company terminated
these agreements on March 26, 2006 without having exercised the option.
Due to its liquidity circumstances, QP was unable to sustain operations without the Companys
subordinated financial and management support. Accordingly, QP was deemed to be a variable interest
entity in accordance with FIN 46(R) and its results were consolidated with the Companys
consolidated financial statements for the period of September 16, 2005 through March 26, 2006, the
effective termination date of the distribution and related agreement, without such option having
been exercised.
Subsequent to having entered into the agreements with QP, the Company became aware of an
alleged tax avoidance scheme involving the principals of QP. The audit committee of the Companys
board of directors engaged an independent counsel, as well as tax counsel in Mexico to investigate
this matter. The audit committee of the board of directors was advised that QPs principals could
be liable for up to $7,000,000 of unpaid taxes; however, the Company is unlikely to have any loss
exposure with respect to this matter because the alleged tax omission occurred prior to the
Companys involvement with QP. The Company has not received any communications to date from Mexican
tax authorities with respect to this matter.
Based on an opinion of Mexico counsel, the Companys management and the audit committee of the
board of directors do not believe that the Company is likely to experience any loss with respect to
this matter. However, there can be no assurance that the Mexican tax authorities will not pursue
this matter and, if pursued, that it would not result in a material loss to the Company.
Note 5. Stockholders Equity
Common Stock Issued in Registered Direct Offering
On April 1, 2008, the Company conducted a second closing of a registered direct offering
effectuated on March 31, 2008, in which the Company closed on an additional 18,095 shares of its
common stock at a purchase price of $5.25 per share, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9,047
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.85 per share for gross proceeds of $95,000 (net
proceeds of $36,000 after deducting the placement agents commission and other offering expenses).
Common Stock Purchase Warrants Issued to Non-Employee Director
On November 7, 2006, the Company entered into a two-year consulting agreement with its new
director, Robert Burlingame. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company issued to the director,
a warrant to purchase 75,000 shares of the Companys common stock, exercisable at a price equal to
the Companys common stock in its initial public offering in consideration of corporate advisory
services. The warrant was fully exercisable and non-forfeitable at date of issuance. The warrant
was valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions used were as follows: fair
value of the underlying stock of $9.00, which represented the expected mid-point of the IPO at the
December 31, 2006 reporting date; risk-free interest rate of 4.70% percent; contractual life of 5
years; dividend yield of 0%; and volatility of 70%. The fair value of the warrants amounted to
$350,000. Following the guidance enumerated in Issue 2 of EITF 96-18 Accounting for Equity
Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling,
Goods or Services, the Company is amortizing the fair value of the warrants over the two-year term
of the consulting agreement which is consistent with its treatment of similar cash transactions.
For the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the amortized fair value of the warrant
amounted to $18,000 and $44,000, respectively, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and
2007, the amortized fair value of the warrant amounted to $106,000 and $132,000, respectively. The
amortized fair value was recorded as selling, general and administrative expense in the
accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The warrants are fully amortized as
of December 31, 2008.
Note 6. Stock-Based Compensation
Prior to April 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based employee compensation
arrangements in accordance with the provisions of APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, (APB 25) and its related interpretations and applied the disclosure requirements of
SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 Share-Based Payments (SFAS 123). The
Company used the minimum value
method to measure the fair value of awards issued prior to April 1, 2006 with respect to its
application of the disclosure requirements under SFAS 123.

Table of Contents
The Company recognized in salaries and related expense in the condensed consolidated
statements of operations $23,000 and $36,000 of stock-based compensation expense during the three
months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $90,000 and $112,000 of stock-based
compensation expense during the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which
represents the intrinsic value amortization of options granted prior to April 1, 2006 that the
Company is continuing to account for using the recognition and measurement principles prescribed
under APB 25. At December 31, 2008, there was $40,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to
options that the Company accounted for under APB 25 through March 31, 2006. These costs are
expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining amortization period of two-thirds year.
Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
123(R) Share Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)) using the prospective transition method, which
requires the fair value measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based
payment awards granted, modified and settled to the Companys employees and directors after April
1, 2006. The Companys condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2008 and for the
three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R). In accordance
with the prospective transition method, the Companys financial statements for prior periods have
not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R).
The effect of recording stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS 123(R) is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The Company recorded $1,168,000 of stock compensation expense related to the termination of
the Companys former Chief Operating Officer (Note 4). Pursuant to an employment agreement, the
Company had a contractual obligation to accelerate the vesting of all of his outstanding options at
the date of termination. The vesting acceleration was a pre-existing vesting condition rather than
a modification to the original terms of the option agreements. Therefore, the Company was not
required to record incremental compensation expense related to the vesting acceleration under the
provisions of SFAS 123(R). The Company recorded the expense related to the vesting acceleration in
selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of
operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2008.
No income tax benefit has been recognized relating to stock-based compensation expense and no
tax benefits have been realized from exercised stock options.
The Company estimated the fair value of employee stock awards using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model. The fair value of employee stock options is being amortized on a straight-line basis
over the requisite service period of the awards. The fair value of employee stock options was
estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

The expected term of stock options represents the average period the stock options are
expected to remain outstanding and is based on the expected term calculated using the approach
prescribed by SAB 110 for plain vanilla options. The Company used this approach as it did not
have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise
patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The expected stock price volatility for
the Companys stock options was determined by examining the historical volatilities for industry
peers and using an average of the historical volatilities of the Companys industry peers. The
Company will continue to analyze the stock price volatility and expected term assumptions as more
data for the Companys common stock and exercise patterns becomes available. The risk-free interest
rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury instruments whose term was consistent with the
expected term of the Companys stock options. The expected dividend assumption is based on the
Companys history and expectation of dividend payouts.
In addition, SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and
revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Forfeitures were estimated at 5% based on historical experience. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No.
123(R), the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.

In addition to the above option activity, on April 26, 2007, an award of 60,000 stock units
was issued to an officer of the Company. Each stock unit represents the right to receive a share of
the Companys common stock, in consideration of past services rendered and the payment by the
officer of $3.00 per share, upon the settlement of the stock unit on a fixed date in the future.
Half of the stock units, representing 30,000 shares, were forfeited on January 15, 2009 and the
remaining 30,000 will be settled on January 15, 2010.
The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of
the stock options and the underlying fair value of the Companys common stock ($1.43) for stock
options that were in-the-money as of December 31, 2008.
The Company granted 1,095,000 and 1,255,000 stock options to various employees and
non-employee directors during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008, respectively. The
options granted during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008, had a weighted-average
grant date fair value of $0.28 and $0.61 per share, respectively. At December 31, 2008, there was
unrecognized compensation costs of $2,824,000 related to stock options accounted for in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average
amortization period of 2.89 years.
The Company issues new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options.
As provided under the Companys 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (2006 Plan), the aggregate number
of shares authorized for issuance as awards under the 2006 Plan automatically increased on April 1,
2008 by 795,180 shares (which number constitutes 5% of the outstanding shares on the last day of
the year ended March 31, 2008). Remaining shares authorized for issuance from the 2006 Plan at
December 31, 2008 was 686,917.
Note 7. Income Taxes
The Company has completed a study to assess whether a change in control has occurred or
whether there have been multiple changes of control since the Companys formation. The study
concluded that no change in control occurred for purposes of Internal Revenue Code section 382. The
Company, after considering all available evidence, fully reserved for these and its other deferred
tax assets since it is more likely than not such benefits will not be realized in future periods.
The Company has incurred losses for both financial reporting and income tax purposes for the year
ended March 31, 2008. Accordingly, the Company is continuing to fully reserve for its
14
Table of Contents
deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to evaluate its deferred tax assets to
determine whether any changes in circumstances could affect the realization of their future
benefit. If it is determined in future periods that portions of the Companys deferred income tax
assets satisfy the realization standard of SFAS No. 109, the valuation allowance will be reduced
accordingly.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), which became effective for the Company
beginning April 1, 2007. FIN 48 addresses how tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a
tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the tax benefit from an
uncertain tax position can be recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position
will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the
position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured
based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized
upon ultimate resolution. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the Companys financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax return in California as
major tax jurisdictions. The Company is also subject to certain other foreign jurisdictions,
principally Mexico and The Netherlands. The Companys evaluation of FIN 48 tax matters was
performed for tax years ended through March 31, 2008. Generally, the Company is subject to audit
for the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 and maybe be subject to audit for amounts
relating to net operating loss carryforwards generated in periods prior to March 31, 2005. The
Company has elected to retain its existing accounting policy with respect to the treatment of
interest and penalties attributable to income taxes in accordance with FIN 48, and continues to
reflect interest and penalties attributable to income taxes, to the extent they arise, as a
component of its income tax provision or benefit as well as its outstanding income tax assets and
liabilities. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained
on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments, other than those identified above that would
result in a material change to its financial position.

Note 9. Subsequent Events
Modification of Common Stock Warrant Agreements
On January 22, 2009, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the Companys management to
modify certain common stock warrant agreements. The modifications will be subject to negotiation
and the warrant holders giving up certain rights. In the event management and the warrant holders
agree to terms, the expiration dates of these warrant agreements could be extended to January 27,
2014. The warrant agreements were originally due to expire on various dates between January 30,
2009 and November 10, 2011. In the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company may record in
selling, general and administrative expense of its consolidated statement of operations,
incremental fair value related to these warrants in the amount up to $332,000. The incremental
fair value was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Weighted-average assumptions used
were as follows: weighted average exercise
price of $10.78 per share; risk-free interest rate 1.61%; contractual life of five years,
dividend yield of 0.0%; and volatility of 83%. The total number of common shares to be issued if
all warrants are exercised is 866,255 shares.

Business Overview
We develop, manufacture and market, a family of products intended to prevent and treat
infections in chronic and acute wounds while concurrently enhancing wound healing through modes of
action unrelated to the treatment of infection. Infection is a serious potential complication in
both chronic and acute wounds, and controlling infection is a critical step in wound healing. Our
platform technology, called Microcyn®, is a proprietary solution of electrically charged
oxychlorine small molecules designed to treat a wide range of organisms that cause disease
(pathogens) These include viruses, fungi, spores and antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria,
such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, and Vancomycin-resistant
Enterococcus, or VRE, in wounds. Our device product is cleared for sale in the United States as a
510(k) medical device for wound cleaning, debridement, lubricating, moistening and dressing; is a
device under CE Mark in Europe; is approved by the State Food and Drug Administration, or SFDA, in
China as a technology that reduces the propagation of microbes in wounds and creates a moist
environment for wound healing; and is approved as a drug in India and Mexico. We do not have the
necessary regulatory approvals to market Microcyn in the United States as a drug, nor do we have
the necessary regulatory clearance or approval to market Microcyn in the U.S. as a medical device
for an antimicrobial or wound healing indication.
Clinical testing we conducted in connection with our submissions to the FDA, as well as
physician clinical studies, suggest that our Microcyn-based product may help reduce a wide range of
pathogens from acute and chronic wounds while curing or improving infection and concurrently
enhancing wound healing through modes of action unrelated to the treatment of infection. These
physician clinical studies suggest that our Microcyn-based product is safe, easy to use and
complementary to many existing treatment methods in wound care. Physician clinical studies and
usage in the United States suggest that our 510(k) product may shorten hospital stays, lower
aggregate patient care costs and, in certain cases, reduce the need for systemic antibiotics. We
are also pursuing the use of our Microcyn platform technology in other markets outside of wound
care, including in the respiratory, ophthalmology, dental and dermatology markets.

In 2005, chronic and acute wound care represented an aggregate of $9.6 billion in global
product sales, of which $3.3 billion was spent for the treatment of skin ulcers, $1.6 billion to
treat burns and $4.7 billion for the treatment of surgical and trauma wounds, according to Kalorama
Information, a life sciences market research firm. In the Kalorama Information we believe the
markets most related to our product involve approximately $1.3 billion for the treatment of skin
ulcers, $300 million for the treatment of burns and $700 million for the treatment of surgical and
trauma wounds Common methods of controlling infection, including topical antiseptics and
antibiotics, have proven to be only moderately effective in combating infection in the wound bed.
However, topical antiseptics tend to inhibit the healing process due to their toxicity and may
require specialized preparation or handling. Antibiotics can lead to the emergence of resistant
bacteria, such as MRSA and VRE. Systemic antibiotics may be less effective in controlling infection
in patients with disorders affecting circulation, such as diabetes, which are commonly associated
with chronic wounds. As a result, no single treatment is used across all types of wounds and stages
of healing.
We believe Microcyn is the only known stable, anti-infective therapeutic available in the
world today that simultaneously cures or improves infection while also promoting wound healing
through increased blood flow to the wound bed and reduction of inflammation. Also, we believe
Microcyn provides significant advantages over current methods of care in the treatment of a wide
range of chronic and acute wounds throughout all stages of treatment. These stages include
cleaning, debridement, prevention and treatment of infections and wound healing. Unlike
antibiotics, antiseptics, growth regulators and other advanced wound care products, we believe that
Microcyn is the only stable wound care solution that is safe as saline, and also cures infection
while simultaneously accelerating wound healing. Also, unlike most antibiotics, we believe Microcyn
does not target specific strains of bacteria, a practice which has been shown to promote the
development of resistant bacteria. In addition, our products are shelf stable, require no special
preparation and are easy to use.
Our goal is to become a worldwide leader as the standard of care in the treatment and
irrigation of open wounds. We currently have, and intend to seek additional, regulatory clearances
and approvals to market our Microcyn-based products worldwide. In July 2004, we began selling
Microcyn in Mexico after receiving approval from the Mexican Ministry of Health, or MOH, for the
use of Microcyn as an antiseptic, disinfectant and sterilant. Since then, physicians in the United
States, Europe, India, Pakistan, China and Mexico have conducted more than 25 physician clinical
studies assessing Microcyns use in the treatment of infections in a variety of wound types,
including hard-to-treat wounds such as diabetic ulcers and burns. Most of these studies were not
intended to be rigorously designed or controlled clinical trials and, as such, did not have all of
the controls required for clinical trials used to support a new drug application, or NDA,
submission to the FDA. A number of these studies did not include blinding, randomization,
predefined clinical end points, use of placebo and active control groups or U.S. good clinical
practices requirements. We used the data generated from some of these studies to support our
application for the CE Mark, or European Union certification, for wound cleaning and reduction of
microbial load. We received the CE Mark in November 2004 and additional international approvals in
China, Canada, Mexico and India. Microcyn has also received three FDA 510(k) clearances for use as
a medical device in wound cleaning, or debridement, lubricating, moistening and dressing, including
traumatic wounds and acute and chronic dermal lesions.
In the fourth quarter of 2007, we completed a Phase II randomized clinical trial, which was
designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Microcyn in mildly infected diabetic foot ulcers with the
primary endpoint of clinical cure or improvement in signs and symptoms of infection according to
guidelines of Infectious Disease Society of America. We used 15 clinical sites and enrolled 48
evaluable patients in three arms, using Microcyn alone, Microcyn plus an oral antibiotic and saline
plus an oral antibiotic. We announced the results of our Phase II trial in March 2008. In the
clinically evaluable population of the study, the clinical success rate at visit four (test of
cure) for patients treated with Microcyn alone was 93.3% compared to 56.3% for the Levofloxacin
plus saline-treated patients. This study was not statistically powered, but the high clinical
success rate (93.3%) and the p-value (0.033) would suggest the difference is meaningfully positive
for the Microcyn-treated patients. Also, for this set of data, the 95.0% confidence interval for
the Microcyn-only arm ranged from 80.7% to 100.0% while the 95.0% confidence interval for the
Levofloxacin and saline arm ranged from 31.9% to 80.6%; the confidence intervals do not overlap,
thus indicating a favorable clinical success for Microcyn compared to Levofloxacin. At visit three
(end of treatment) the clinical success rate for patients treated with Microcyn alone was 77.8%
compared to 61.1% for the Levofloxacin plus saline-treated patients.
We conducted a review meeting with the FDA in August 2008 to discuss the results of our Phase
II trial and our future clinical program. Following a review of the Phase II data on Microcyn
Technology for the treatment of mildly infected diabetic foot ulcers, the FDA agreed:
| We may move forward into the pivotal phase of our U.S. clinical program for Microcyn Technology. | ||
| There were no safety issues relative to moving into this next clinical phase immediately, and carcinogenicity studies will not be required for product approval; and | ||
| Clinical requirements for efficacy and safety for a new drug application, or NDA, will be appropriately accounted for within the agreed upon pivotal trial designs. |
20
Table of Contents
Two pivotal clinical trials must be completed for submission to the FDA of an NDA, for the
treatment of mildly infected diabetic foot ulcers. Commencement of these trials will be dependent
upon the support of a strategic partner. In the event that we successfully complete clinical trials
and obtain drug approval from the FDA, we may seek clearance for treatment of other types of
wounds. We are currently pursuing strategic partnerships to assess potential applications for
Microcyn in several other markets and therapeutic categories, including respiratory, ophthalmology,
dermatology, dental and veterinary markets. FDA or other governmental approvals will be required
for any potential new products or new indications.
We currently make Microcyn available under our three 510(k) clearances in the United States,
primarily through our website and several regional distributors as a test marketing effort. In the
quarter ending December 31, 2008, we initiated a more aggressive commercialization into the
podiatry market in the United States. In addition, an over-the-counter first responder pen
application (MyClyns) with Microcyn has been marketed in the United States since January 2008, by
our partner Union Springs Pharmaceuticals (a subsidiary of the Drug Enhancement Company of America,
or DECA).
We have announced the development of a MicroGel and a delivery device for Microcyn, both of
which will require 510k approval in the US as well as approvals in Europe, China, India and Mexico.
We expect to obtain those approvals and initiate commercialization during our next fiscal year in
all of these countries.
We currently rely on exclusive agreements with country-specific distributors for the sale of
Microcyn-based products in Europe. In Mexico, we sell Microcyn through a network of distributors
and through a contract sales force dedicated exclusively to selling Microcyn, including
salespeople, nurses and clinical support staff. In India, we sell through Alkem, the fifth largest
pharmaceutical company in India. The first full year of Microcyn product distribution in India was
in 2008. In China, we signed a distribution agreement with China Bao Tai, which secured marketing
approval from the SFDA in March 2008. China Bao Tai intends to begin distribution of Microcyn-based
products to hospitals, doctors and clinics through Sinopharm, the largest pharmaceutical group in
China. China Bao Tai and Sinopharm are in the process of providing samples broadly to many
hospitals and doctors throughout many provinces in China in anticipation of a product launch after
approval for reimbursement has been obtained.
Our goal for fiscal 2010 is to achieve the following milestones:
| Identify and initiate partnerships and/or distribution agreements for Microcyn both inside and outside the United States; | ||
| Reduce operating costs while increasing revenues; | ||
| Secure expanded U.S. label claims on 510(k)-cleared products; | ||
| Launch Microcyn Rx and OTC into U.S. podiatry market; | ||
| Secure regulatory approvals and launch MicrocynGel into U.S., China, Mexico, the EU and India; | ||
| Support our partners in China with introduction of Dermacyn into strategic wound care facilities; and | ||
| File and obtain additional patents on new formulations and drug delivery systems. |
We may not obtain on a timely basis, if at all, the necessary FDA approval and/or clearances
to market Microcyn in the U.S. for the treatment of infection in diabetic foot ulcers, wound
healing or otherwise. A number of factors can delay or prevent completion of human clinical trials,
particularly patient recruitment. Moreover, many drug candidates fail to successfully complete
clinical trials. After an NDA is filed with the FDA, the FDA commences an in-depth review of the
NDA that typically takes ten months to a year to complete but may take longer. In addition, we may
not obtain on a timely basis, or at all, the necessary 510(k) clearances for the next-generation
Microcyn product formulation. The milestones described above assume that we have sufficient funds
to conduct and complete our pivotal trials, that the results from these clinical trials support an
NDA filing and that our products will be commercially viable. We may not find appropriate
distribution or strategic partners, generate revenue sufficient to fund our cash flow needs or meet
any of the milestones described above in a timely manner or at all.

with U.S. good manufacturing practices and quality systems regulation.
Financial Operations Overview
Comparison of Three Months Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
Overview
Sales in Mexico increased 34% during the three months ended December 31, 2008, with the
largest increase in sales to hospitals despite the significant negative impact of a 24% decline in
the value of the peso at the end of the quarter compared to December 31, 2007. We also initiated
significant cost-reduction measures the three months ended December 31, 2008, in our U.S.
operations, which reduced our headcount from 56 to 29 in the U.S. combined with anticipated
additional cost reductions in the quarter ending March 31, 2009. We believe that these reductions
will lead to decreases in net losses in the upcoming quarters, and accelerate our path to
profitability.
Revenues
We experienced 19% growth in product revenues and about the same sales in our services
business, resulting in reported revenues of $1.2 million during the three months ended December 31,
2008. The $156,000 increase in product revenues was due primarily to $204,000 higher sales in
Mexico, up 34% over the same period last year. Without the drop in the value of the peso during
the quarter, the product growth in Mexico would have been 61%. Unit sales of our 240-milliliter
presentation, sold mostly to pharmacies in Mexico increased 15% over the prior year to a monthly
average of 32,000 units. Generally, the third quarter is our weakest quarter of the year due to
typically low sales in Mexico for health care in the month of December. Sales to hospitals in
Mexico increased by $200,000 over the year ago period, due to both higher sales volumes, up 118%,
and higher averages selling prices. Europe and the Rest of the World, or Europe/ROW, sales
decreased over the prior year due to lower sales to Slovakia and India, caused by irregular
shipments and price adjustments. Product sales in the US were up slightly, showing the initial
signs of the launch into the podiatry market.
The following table shows our product revenues by geographic region (in thousands):

Service revenues were $222,000 maintaining a similar level to our sales in the prior year, as
we continue our strategy of maintaining, not growing this business, and focusing primarily on our
Microcyn business.
Gross Profit / Loss
We reported gross profit from our Microcyn products business of $686,000, or 69% of product
revenues, during the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared a gross profit of $335,000, or
40%, in the year ago period. This increase was primarily due to lower costs in Europe and improved
efficiency and higher sales volumes in our Mexico operations, which improved margins to 77% during
the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to 73% a year ago. The lower costs in Europe
put our European operation in a positive gross margin position during the three months ended
December 31, 2008, compared to a gross loss position in the year ago period. Our services business
continues to be slightly profitable from period to period.
We expect gross profit to increase as a percentage of sales in future periods as we
consolidate our manufacturing operations and reduce our fixed costs as product revenues grow.

Table of Contents
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense consists primarily of costs associated with personnel,
materials, and clinical trials within our product development, regulatory and clinical
organizations. Research and development expense decreased $1.6 million, or 64%, to $933,000 for the
three months ended December 31, 2008, from $2.6 million for the three months ended December 31,
2007. This decrease was primarily the result of $1.0 million lower outside clinical fees as our
company was actively engaged in completing our Phase II clinical trial for the treatment of
diabetic foot ulcers during the quarter ended December 31, 2007. In addition, we eliminated the
supporting clinical staff and focused on finding a partner to complete the pivotal trials. Other
regulatory and research staff were also reduced during the period consistent with our overall cost
reduction initiatives.
We anticipate that our research and development expense will decline as a result of the
reduction of research and development personnel, and the transfer of the clinical trial costs to a
potential partner. We anticipate that most of the impact of these reductions will be reflected in
the quarter ending March 31, 2009.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of costs associated with sales,
marketing and administrative personnel, as well as other corporate expenses such as legal,
accounting, and insurance. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $379,000, or 11%,
to $2.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2008, from $3.3 million during the three
months ended December 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily due to reduction of personnel and
related salary costs, legal expenses and stock compensation expenses. This decrease was partially
offset by higher sales and marketing consulting fees of $320,000 associated with market research
and other pre-launch expenses related to our US Microcyn wound care product launch, which occurred
in October 2008.
We expect that our selling, general and administrative expenses will decline in the quarter
ending March 31, 2009 as we reduced the number of selling, general, and administrative personnel in
the U.S. from 22 to 14 over the last two quarters. The increase in selling costs related to our
product launch in the US will partially offset the decline related to the overall reduction in
force and will eventually cause an increase in this expense category as we grow our sales in the
US.
Interest income and expense and other income and expense
Interest expense decreased $86,000 to $113,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008,
from $199,000 in the year ago period, due to the payments made on debt in the prior year. Total
outstanding debt decreased $1.7 million to $776,000 at December 31, 2008, from $2.5 million at
December 31, 2007. Interest income decreased $133,000, to $17,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 2008, from $150,000 in the year ago period, primarily due to the decrease in our
interest bearing cash balance over the past year.
Other income and expense decreased $383,000 to net other expense of $84,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 2008, from net other income of $299,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 2007. Primarily this decrease was due to our intercompany notes to Europe and Mexico
being reclassified during the period as long term, and therefore no foreign currency adjustment was
required to revalue the notes. In prior periods, this account consisted of charges due to the
fluctuation of foreign exchange rates, and the resulting gain or loss recognized for the
revaluation of our intercompany notes payable denominated in non-local currencies.
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was $3.3 million, down $2.0 million from
$5.3 million for the same period last year. Stock compensation expenses for the three months ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $200,000 and $406,000 respectively.
Comparison of Nine Months Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
Revenues
We experienced 50% growth in product revenues and a slight decline in our services business
resulting in reported revenues of $3.9 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2008. The
$1.1 million increase in product revenues was due primarily to $916,000
23
Table of Contents
higher sales in Mexico. Mexico sales increased 59% on higher unit volumes of our Microcyn
wound care product to hospitals and pharmacies, as well as higher average selling prices in both
our 5-liter and our 240-milliliter presentations. Sales of 240-milliliter units in Mexico
increased 33% on improvements to both units sold and higher average selling prices as compared to
the year ago period. Additionally, sales to hospitals in Mexico increased 140% on both higher unit
shipments and selling prices. Europe/Rest of the World sales have increased over the prior year
due primarily to a $79,000 initial sale to our customer China Bao Tai in China during Q2, as well
as sales growth to our customers in India, Singapore, and Italy.

The $69,000, or 9%, decline in service revenues was due to a decrease in the number of tests
provided by our services business.
Gross Profit / Loss
We reported gross profit from our Microcyn products business of approximately $2.0 million, or
63% of product revenues, during the nine months ended December 31, 2008, compared a gross profit of
$858,000, or 40%, in the year ago period. This increase was primarily due to lower costs in Europe
and the improvements in our Mexico operations, which have improved margins to 74% during the nine
months ended December 31, 2008, compared to 70% a year ago. Lower costs in Europe have put our
European operation in a positive gross margin position during the nine months ended December 31,
2008, compared to a gross loss position in the year ago period. Our services business continues to
be at or near breakeven as it was in the year ago period.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense declined $1.4 million, or 20%, to $5.6 million for the nine
months ended December 31, 2008, compared to $7.1 million in the year ago period. Most of the
decrease was attributable to outside clinical expenses, which were $1.8 million higher in the same
period last year, which related the costs of the Phase II clinical trial last year. During the
first part of the fiscal year we increased our personnel, while in the later part of Q2 and in Q3
we significantly reduced the number of people in research and development, so that the net cost of
personnel was about the same. This expense also includes severance costs of $290,000.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $1.1 million, or 10%, to $11.5 million
during the nine months ended December 31, 2008, from $10.4 million during the nine months ended
December 31, 2007. Primarily, this increase was due to a $2.1 million increase in non-cash stock
compensation expenses associated with the options granted to employees, including the $1.1 million
of stock compensation charges for the accelerated vesting of stock options as part of the
separation agreement with terminated employees. In addition, there was $436,000 of severance
expense associated with these terminations during the period. Sales and marketing fees were also
higher by $458,000 primarily associated with market research, pre-launch and launch expenses
associated with our US Microcyn wound care product introduction to podiatrists, which occurred in
October, 2008. These increases were offset in part by $725,000 lower bonus expense as only select
bonuses were accrued for in the current year, compared to the larger executive and employee bonus
plan that was accrued for in the year ago period.
Due to significant reductions in headcount and projects, we expect these overall expenses to
decline with most of the impact displayed in the quarter ending March 31, 2009. These expenses
will grow in future periods as we spend more money on expanding the sales in the US market.

Interest income and expense and other income and expense
Interest expense decreased $420,000, or 50%, to $424,000 for the nine months ended December
31, 2008, from $844,000 in the year ago period, due to the payments made on debt over the prior
year. Total outstanding debt decreased $1.7 million to $776,000 at December 31, 2008, from $2.5
million at December 31, 2007. Interest income decreased $407,000, to $149,000 for the nine months
ended December 31, 2008, from $556,000 in the year ago period, primarily due to the decrease in our
interest bearing cash balance over the past year.
Other income and expense decreased $1.2 million to net other expense of $97,000 for the nine
months ended December 31, 2008, from net other income of $1.1 million for the nine months ended
December 31, 2007. Primarily this decrease was due to our intercompany notes to Europe and Mexico
being reclassified in Q2 as long term, and therefore no foreign currency adjustment was required to
revalue the notes in this quarter. In prior periods, this account consisted of charges due to the
fluctuation of foreign exchange rates, and the resulting gain or loss recognized for the
revaluation of our intercompany notes payable denominated in non-local currencies.
Net Loss
Net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 was $15.4 million, down $0.5 million from
$15.9 million for the same period last year. Stock compensation expense for the nine months ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $2.1 million and $916,000 respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses. As of December 31, 2008, we had an
accumulated deficit of $106.3 million. We have not yet achieved profitability, and we expect that
our operating losses will decline in the future due to cost reductions completed during the last
two quarters and the increase in sales. Even with this reduction in operating expense, we will need
to raise additional capital to sustain our business until such time that we are able to generate
sufficient product revenues to achieve profitability.
Sources of Liquidity
As of December 31, 2008, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $2.4 million. Since
our inception, substantially all of our operations have been financed through sales of equity
securities. Other sources of financing that we have used to date include our revenues, as well as
various loans.
Since our inception, substantially all of our operations have been financed through the sale
of $99 million of our common and convertible preferred stock. These net proceeds include $21.9
million raised in our initial public offering on January 30, 2007, $9.1 million raised in a private
placement of common shares on August 13, 2007, and $12.6 million raised through a registered direct
placement from March 31, 2008 to April 1, 2008.
In June 2006, we entered into a loan and security agreement with a financial institution to
borrow a maximum of $5.0 million. Under this facility we have borrowed $4.2 million, and have paid
back $3.6 million in principal as of December 31, 2008. The terms of this facility include monthly
principal payments over three years, plus interest payments of 8.5% per annum.
On January 26, 2009, we entered into Purchase Agreements and a Revenue Sharing Agreement with
VetCure Inc., a California corporation, (VetCure), one of our Directors, Robert Burlingame, and
an accredited investor, whereby VetCure and its affiliates agreed to make a $3.0 million investment
in our Company in exchange for the exclusive rights to distribute and sell Vetericyn Wound Care
product for animals in the United States and an aggregate of 3.0 million shares of common stock
with warrants. Of the $3.0 million investment, $500,000 was paid at the time of signing, $500,000
on January 30, 2009 and the rest will be paid on or before August 1, 2009. On February 6 2009, we
entered into Purchase Agreements with a group of institutional investors whereby we raised $1.75
million in gross proceeds through a private placement of 1.5 million shares of common stock with
warrants. We intend to use the $4.7 million cash infusion as general working capital and to help
accelerate our commercial activities in the United States, China, Europe, Mexico, India and select
Middle East countries.

Cash Flows
As of December 31, 2008, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $2.4 million,
compared to $18.8 million at March 31, 2008.
Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2008 was $14.6
million, primarily due to the $15.4 million net loss for the period, and to a $1.3 million decrease
in accounts payable, primarily the result of payments made for the placement fee of our registered
direct fundraising in March 2008 that were outstanding at March 31, 2008, and a $1.3 decrease in
accrued expenses, related mostly to accrued bonuses earned during the fiscal year ended March 31,
2008. These uses of cash were offset in part by non-cash charges during the nine months ended
December 31, 2008, including $2.1 million of stock-based compensation, $617,000 of depreciation and
amortization and $304,000 of non-cash interest expense, and $219,000 of loss on the disposal of
capital equipment. Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended December 31,
2007 was $14.0 million, primarily due to the $15.9 million net loss for the period, and to a lesser
extent a $1.1 million decrease in accounts payable due to the timing of payments made to our
vendors and $1.1 million of foreign currency gain. These uses of cash were offset in part by
non-cash charges during the nine months ended December 31, 2007, including $916,000 of stock-based
compensation, $548,000 of depreciation and amortization, $415,000 of non-cash interest expense and
$1.2 million decrease in accrued expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities was $325,000, and $414,000 for the nine months ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Primarily this cash was used during the periods for
purchasing lab and manufacturing equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities was $1.4 million for the nine months ended December 31,
2008. Primarily this cash was used for the repayment of outstanding debt during the period. Net
cash provided by financing activities was $5.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2007.
This primarily included full payment on a $4.0 million note payable to Robert Burlingame and $9.1
million of net funds received in connection with a private placement of common stock.
Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements
We incurred a net loss of $15.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. At
December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2008, our accumulated deficit amounted to $106.2 million and $90.8
million, respectively. At December 31, 2008, our working capital amounted to $647,000.
We need to raise additional capital from external sources in order to sustain our operations
while continuing the longer term efforts contemplated under our business plan. We expect to
continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future and must raise additional capital to pursue
our product development initiatives, to penetrate markets for the sale of our products and for us
to continue as a going concern. We cannot provide any assurance that we will raise additional
capital. If the economic climate in the U.S. does not improve or continues to deteriorate, our
ability to raise additional capital could be negatively impacted. If we are unable to raise
additional capital, we will be required to curtail certain operating activities, and implement
additional cost reductions in an effort to conserve capital in amounts sufficient to sustain
operations and meet it obligations for the next twelve months. These matters raise substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We believe that we have access to capital
resources through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations or
other means; however, we have not secured any commitment for new financing at this time nor can we
provide any assurance that new financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at
all. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to curtail our research and
development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve cash.
These measures could cause significant delays in our efforts to commercialize our products in the
United States, which is critical to the realization of our business plan and our future operations.
We have undertaken initiatives to reduce costs in an effort to conserve liquidity. Future
pivotal trials will require the selection of a partner and must also be completed in order for us
to commercialize Microcyn as a drug product in the United States. Commencement of the pivotal
clinical trials will be delayed until we find a strategic partner to fund these trials. Without a
strategic partner or additional capital, our pivotal clinical trials will be delayed for a period
of time that is currently indeterminate.
Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:
| the scope, rate of progress and cost of our clinical trials and other research and development activities; | ||
| future clinical trial results; |
26

| the terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing and other arrangements that we may establish; | ||
| the cost and timing of regulatory approvals; | ||
| the cost and delays in product development as a result of any changes in regulatory oversight applicable to our products; | ||
| the cost and timing of establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities; | ||
| the effect of competing technological and market developments; | ||
| the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights; and | ||
| the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies. |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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 disclosures of
contingent liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from
these estimates. These estimates and assumptions include reserves and write-downs related to
receivables and inventories, the recoverability of long-term assets, deferred taxes and related
valuation allowances and valuation of equity instruments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2008, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and
procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
or Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in
reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and
reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms,
and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can
provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and
procedures are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable
assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management
necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of
possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures
also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can
be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the
period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the
reasonable assurance level.
(b) Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008 that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Legal Matters
The Company, on occasion, is involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of its
business. While management believes that such matters are currently insignificant, there can be no
assurance that matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which the Company is or could
become involved in litigation will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial
condition or results of operations.
ITEM 1A: Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, as filed with the SEC on June 13,
2008, except as follows:
We have a history of losses, we expect to continue to incur losses and we may never achieve
profitability.
We incurred a net loss of $3,320,000 and $15,431,000 for the three and nine months ended
December 31, 2008, respectively. At December 31, 2008, our accumulated deficit amounted to
$106,257,000. During the six months ended December 31, 2008, our net cash used in operating
activities amounted to $14,592,000. At December 31, 2008, our working capital amounted to $647,000.
We have yet to demonstrate that we can generate sufficient sales of our products to become
profitable. The extent of our future operating losses and the timing of profitability are highly
uncertain, and we may never achieve profitability. Even if we do generate significant revenues from
our product sales, we expect that increased operating expenses will result in significant operating
losses in the near term as we, among other things:
| conduct preclinical studies and clinical trials on our products and product candidates; | |
| increase our research and development efforts to enhance our existing products, commercialize new products and develop new product candidates; | |
| establish additional, and expand existing, manufacturing facilities; and | |
| grow our sales and marketing capabilities in the United States and internationally. |
As a result of these activities, we will need to generate significant revenue in order to
achieve profitability and may never become profitable.
Without raising additional capital, we would curtail certain operational activities, including
regulatory trials, in order to reduce costs. We may not secure any commitments for new financing on
acceptable terms, if at all.
Declining general economic or business conditions may have a negative impact on our business.
Concerns over inflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of
credit, the U.S. mortgage market and a declining real estate market in the U.S. have contributed to
increased volatility and diminished expectations for the global economy and expectations of slower
global economic growth going forward. These factors, combined with volatile oil prices, declining
business and consumer confidence and increased unemployment, have precipitated a global economic
slowdown. If the economic climate in the U.S. does not improve or continues to deteriorate, our
business, including our patient population, our suppliers and our third-party payors, could be
negatively affected, resulting in a negative impact on our business.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
We did not sell any unregistered securities during the quarter ended December 31, 2008.

Item 3. Default Upon Senior Securities

2008.
