CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


NOTE 1.
COMPANY OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Company Overview

ULURU Inc. (hereinafter “we”, “our”, “us”, “ULURU”, or the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation.  We are a diversified specialty pharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing a broad range of innovative wound care and muco-adhesive film products based on our patented Nanoflex® and OraDiscTM drug delivery technologies, with the goal of improving outcomes for patients, health care professionals, and health care payers.

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include the accounts of ULURU Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Uluru Delaware Inc., a Delaware corporation.  They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2013 and the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 have been made.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.  These differences are usually minor and are included in our consolidated financial statements as soon as they are known.  Our estimates, judgments, and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2013, including the risk factors set forth therein.



NOTE 2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the three ended March 31, 2013 are consistent with those discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2013.

NOTE 3.
THE EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (“ASU 2011-08”). ASU 2011-08 updated guidance on the periodic testing of goodwill for impairment. This guidance will allow companies to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test required under current accounting standards. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011; however, early adoption is permitted in certain circumstances.  We adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-08 in the first quarter of 2012.  The adoption of this update does not materially impact our financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 amended existing guidance by allowing only two options for presenting the components of net income and other comprehensive income: (1) in a single continuous financial statement of comprehensive income or (2) in two separate but consecutive financial statements, consisting of an income statement followed by a separate statement of other comprehensive income. Also, items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements. ASU No. 2011-05 requires retrospective application, and it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  We adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-05 in the first quarter of 2012.  The adoption of this update does not materially impact our financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 generally provides a uniform framework for fair value measurements and related disclosures between U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2011-04 was effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-04 in the first quarter of 2012.  The adoption of this update does not materially impact our financial statements.

There are no other new accounting pronouncements adopted or enacted during the three months ended March 31, 2013 that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on our financial statements.



NOTE 4.
SEGMENT INFORMATION

We operate in one business segment: the research, development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products.  Our corporate headquarters in the United States collects product sales, licensing fees, royalties, and sponsored research revenues from our arrangements with external customers and licensees.  Our entire business is managed by a single management team, which reports to the Chief Executive Officer.

Our revenues are currently derived primarily from five licensees for international activities and our domestic sales activities of Altrazeal®.

Revenues per geographic area for the three months ended March 31 are summarized as follows:

NOTE 5.
NOTES RECEIVABLE

On June 27, 2012, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement related to our issuance of a $2,210,000 Secured Convertible Note (the “June 2012 Note”), with Inter-Mountain Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Inter-Mountain”).  As part of the June 2012 Note transaction, we received $1,500,000 in the form of six promissory notes in favor of the Company, each in the principal amount of $250,000 (the “Investor Notes”) and each of which becomes due as the outstanding balance under the June 2012 Note is reduced to certain levels.  On October 5, 2012, we and Inter-Mountain entered into a First Amendment to Buyer Trust Deed Note #1 (the “Trust Deed Note Amendment”) for the purpose of revising certain terms and conditions contained in the Buyer Trust Deed Note #1, to include receiving payments of $100,000, $100,000, and $50,000 on October 5, 2012, November 30, 2012, and December 31, 2012, respectively, and any interest thereon.

As of March 31, 2013, we had $1,061,776 in notes receivable which is comprised of $1,000,000 for four Investor Notes and $61,776 for accrued interest thereon.

Please refer to Note 11 for a more detailed description of the June 2012 Note transaction.

We use the equity method of accounting for investments in other companies that are not controlled by us and in which our interest is generally between 20% and 50% of the voting shares or we have significant influence over the entity, or both.

On January 11, 2012, we executed a shareholders’ agreement for the establishment of Altrazeal Trading Ltd., a single purpose entity to be used for the exclusive marketing of Altrazeal® throughout the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, North Africa, and the Middle East.  As a result of this transaction, we received a non-dilutable 25% ownership interest in Altrazeal Trading Ltd.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the financial statements of Altrazeal Trading Ltd. were unavailable and our share of any gains or losses of Altrazeal Trading Ltd. for such period have not been recorded in our financial statements.  The financial activity of Altrazeal Trading Ltd. for the three months ended March 31, 2013 would not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Based upon unaudited financial statements provided by Altrazeal Trading Ltd. for the year ended December 31, 2012, our share of Altrazeal Trading Ltd. losses exceeded the carrying value of our investment, therefore the equity method of accounting was suspended and no additional losses were charged to our operations.  Our unrecorded share of Altrazeal Trading Ltd. losses for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $82,740.

Summarized financial information for our investment in Altrazeal Trading Ltd. assuming 100% ownership is as follows:

On October 19, 2012, we executed a shareholders’ agreement for the establishment of ORADISC GmbH, a single purpose entity to be used for the exclusive development and marketing of OraDisc™ erodible film technology products.  We received a non-dilutable 25% ownership interest in ORADISC GmbH.

As of March 31, 2013, ORADISC GmbH had not begun operations and accordingly the net book value of the investee assets had not been determined and there were no equity method investee gains or losses for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

NOTE 11.
CONVERTIBLE DEBT

On June 27, 2012, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), related to our issuance of a $2,210,000 Secured Convertible Note, with Inter-Mountain Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Inter-Mountain”).  The purchase price for the June 2012 Note was paid $500,000 at closing in cash and $1,500,000 in the form of six promissory notes in favor of the Company, each in the principal amount of $250,000 (the “Investor Notes”), each of which bears interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum, and each of which becomes due as the outstanding balance under the June 2012 Note is reduced to certain levels.  The purchase price of the June 2012 Note also reflected a $200,000 original issue discount and $10,000 in attorney’s fees. The Purchase Agreement also includes representations and warranties, restrictive covenants, and indemnification provisions standard for similar transactions.

The June 2012 Note bears interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum, with monthly installment payments of $83,333 commencing on the date that is the earlier of (i) thirty calendar days after the effective date of a registration statement registering the re-sale of the shares issuable upon conversion under the June 2012 Note or (ii) December 24, 2012, but in no event sooner than September 25, 2012.  At our option, subject to certain volume, price, and other conditions, the monthly installment payments on the June 2012 Note may be paid in whole, or in part, in cash or in our common stock.  If the monthly installment is paid in common stock, such shares being issued will be based on a price that is 80% of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices of the shares of common stock during the preceding twenty trading days.  The percentage declines to 70% if the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices of the shares of common stock during the preceding twenty trading days is less than $0.05.

At the option of Inter-Mountain, the outstanding principal balance of the June 2012 Note may be converted into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.35 per share, subject to certain pricing adjustments and ownership limitations.  The initial tranche was $710,000 and the six subsequent tranches are each $250,000, plus interest.  At our option, the outstanding principal balance of the June 2012 Note, or a portion thereof, may be prepaid in cash at 120% of the amount elected to be prepaid.  The June 2012 Note is secured by a Security Agreement pursuant to which we granted to Inter-Mountain a first-priority security interest in the assets held by the Company.

Events of default under the June 2012 Note include failure to make required payments or to deliver shares upon conversion, the entry of a $100,000 judgment not stayed within 30 days, breach of representations or covenants under the transaction documents, various events associated with insolvency or failure to pay debts, delisting of our common stock, a restatement of financial statements, and a default under certain other agreements.  In the event of default, the interest rate under the June 2012 Note increases to 18% and the June 2012 Note becomes callable at a premium.  In addition, the holder has all remedies under law and equity, including foreclosing on our assets under a Security Agreement with Intermountain.

As part of the convertible debt financing, Inter-Mountain also received a total of seven warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase, if they all vest, an aggregate of 3,142,857 shares of common stock, which number of shares could increase based upon the terms and conditions of the Warrants.  The Warrants have an exercise price of $0.35 per share, subject to certain pricing adjustments, and are exercisable, subject to vesting provisions and ownership limitations, until June 27, 2017.  Warrants for 785,714, 392,857, and 392,857 shares of common stock vested on June 27, 2012, December 31, 2012, and February 26, 2013, respectively.  Each of the four remaining Warrants vest upon the payment by the holder of each of the remaining four Investor Notes.

As part of the convertible debt financing, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement whereby we agreed to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement for the number of shares referred to therein no later than July 27, 2012 and to cause such registration statement to be declared effective no later than ninety days after such filing with the SEC and to keep such registration statement effective for a period of no less than one hundred and eighty days.  The Registration Rights Agreement also grants Inter-Mountain piggy-back registration rights with respect to future offerings by the Company.  In accordance with our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, we filed with the SEC a registration statement that was declared effective on July 31, 2012.

On October 5, 2012, we and Inter-Mountain entered into a First Amendment to Buyer Trust Deed Note #1 for the purpose of revising certain terms and conditions contained in the Buyer Trust Deed Note #1, to include an updated schedule for the timing of certain payment obligations by Inter-Mountain contained therein.

On July 28, 2011, we completed a convertible debt financing for $125,000 with Mr. Kerry P. Gray, the Company’s Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer (the “July 2011 Note”).  The July 2011 Note bears interest at the rate of 10.0% per annum, with annual payments of interest commencing on July 1, 2012.  The full amount of principal and any unpaid interest will be due on July 28, 2014.  The outstanding principal balance of the July 2011 Note may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, at the option of the note holder and at any time, at a conversion price of $1.08 per share or 115,741 shares of common stock.  We may force conversion of the July 2011 Note if our common stock trades for a defined period of time at a price greater than $2.16.  The July 2011 Note is collateralized by the grant of a security interest in the inventory, accounts receivables and capital equipment held by the Company.  The securities issuable on conversion have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.  As part of the convertible debt financing, Mr. Gray also received a warrant to purchase up to 34,722 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The warrant has an exercise price of $1.08 per share and is exercisable at any time until July 28, 2016.  On July 3, 2012, the Company and Mr. Gray entered into a Modification Agreement for the purpose of deferring the annual payment of interest due on July 1, 2012 of $11,542 until such time as Mr. Gray provides written notice to us with such notice being no less than 15 days prior to the relevant payment date.  Moreover, the parties agreed that no Event of Default under the July 2011 Note occurred as a result of any failure by us to make the annual payment of interest due on July 1, 2012.  Commencing on July 1, 2012, interest at the rate of 12.0% per annum will accrue on the deferred interest payment of $11,542 until the relevant payment date.

On June 13, 2011, we completed a $140,000 convertible debt financing with Mr. Gray (the “June 2011 Note”).  The June 2011 Note bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum, with annual payments of interest commencing on July 1, 2012.  The full amount of principal and any unpaid interest will be due on June 13, 2014.  The outstanding principal balance of the June 2011 Note may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, at the option of the note holder and at any time, at a conversion price of $1.20 per share or 116,667 shares of common stock.  We may force conversion of the convertible note if our common stock trades for a defined period of time at a price greater than $1.80.  The June 2011 Note is collateralized by the grant of a security interest in the inventory, accounts receivables, and capital equipment held by the Company.  The securities issuable on conversion have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.  As part of the convertible debt financing, Mr. Gray also received a warrant to purchase up to 35,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The warrant has an exercise price of $1.20 per share and is exercisable at any time until June 13, 2016.  On July 3, 2012, the Company and Mr. Gray entered into a Modification Agreement for the purpose of deferring the annual payment of interest due on July 1, 2012 of $14,653 until such time as Mr. Gray provides written notice to us with such notice being no less than 15 days prior to the relevant payment date.  Moreover, the parties agreed that no Event of Default under the June 2011 Note occurred as a result of any failure by us to make the annual payment of interest due on July 1, 2012.  Commencing on July 1, 2012, interest at the rate of 12.0% per annum will accrue on the deferred interest payment of $14,653 until the relevant payment date.

We account for convertible debt using specific guidelines in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  We allocated the value of the proceeds received to the convertible instrument and to the warrant on a relative fair value basis.  We calculated the fair value of the warrant issued with the convertible instrument using the Black-Scholes valuation method, using the same assumptions used for valuing employee stock options, except the contractual life of the warrant was used. Using the effective interest method, the allocated fair value was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized over the expected term of the convertible debt to interest expense.

On the date of issuance of the June 2011 Note, the July 2011 Note, and the June 2012 Note, no portion of the proceeds were attributable to a beneficial conversion feature since the conversion price of the June 2011 Note, the July 2011 Note, and the June 2012 Note exceeded the market price of the Company’s common stock.

NOTE 14.
EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings per Share, basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, increased to include potential dilutive common shares.  The effect of outstanding stock options, restricted vesting common stock, convertible debt, convertible preferred stock, and warrants, when dilutive, is reflected in diluted earnings (loss) per common share by application of the treasury stock method.  We have excluded all outstanding stock options, restricted vesting common stock, convertible debt, convertible preferred stock, and warrants from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share because all such securities are antidilutive for all periods presented.

Shares used in calculating basic and diluted net loss per common share exclude these potential common shares as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

We account for share-based compensation under FASB ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, consultants, and directors based on estimated fair values of the award on the grant date.  We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards with the following weighted average assumptions for the three months ended March 31:

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock awards, which typically vest over a period of two to five years, are issued to certain key employees and are subject to forfeiture until the end of an established restriction period.  We utilize the market price on the date of grant as the fair market value of restricted stock awards and expense the fair value on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

The following table summarizes share-based compensation related to restricted stock awards for the three months ended March 31:

Summary of Plans

2006 Equity Incentive Plan

In March 2006, our Board adopted and our stockholders approved our Equity Incentive Plan, which initially provided for the issuance of up to 133,333 shares of our common stock pursuant to stock option and other equity awards.  At the annual meetings of the stockholders held on May 8, 2007, December 17, 2009, June 15, 2010, and on June 14, 2012, our stockholders approved amendments to the Equity Incentive Plan to increase the total number of shares of common stock issuable under the Equity Incentive Plan pursuant to stock options and other equity awards by 266,667 shares, 200,000 shares, 200,000 shares, and 400,000 shares, respectively, to a total of 1,200,000 shares.
 
In December 2006, we began issuing stock options to employees, consultants, and directors.  The stock options issued generally vest over a period of one to four years and have a maximum contractual term of ten years.  In January 2007, we began issuing restricted stock awards to our employees.  Restricted stock awards generally vest over a period of six months to five years after the date of grant.  Prior to vesting, restricted stock awards do not have dividend equivalent rights, do not have voting rights and the shares underlying the restricted stock awards are not considered issued and outstanding.  Shares of common stock are issued on the date the restricted stock awards vest.

As of March 31, 2013, we had granted options to purchase 1,376,167 shares of common stock since the inception of the Equity Incentive Plan, of which 1,123,241 were outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $2.02 per share, and we had granted awards for 68,616 shares of restricted stock since the inception of the Equity Incentive Plan, of which none were outstanding.  As of March 31, 2013, there were 7,313 shares that remained available for future grants under our Equity Incentive Plan.

NOTE 16.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, (“ASC Topic 820”) certain assets and liabilities of the Company are required to be recorded at fair value.  Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  The guidance in ASC Topic 820 also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.

Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on our market assumptions.  Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation.  In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Such determination requires significant management judgment.

The three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, is as follows:

 
Level 1
Valuations based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 
Level 2
Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 
Level 3
Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants.

Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.  We review the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis.  Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy.

Our financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.  We believe that the carrying value of our other receivable and convertible note payable balances approximates fair value based on a valuation methodology using the income approach and a discounted cash flow model.

The following table summarizes the fair value of our financial instruments at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

We have also entered into contractual indemnification agreements with each of our officers and directors.

Employment Agreements

As of March 31, 2013, we are party to employment agreements with our Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Terrance K. Wallberg, and Daniel G.

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

You should read the following discussion and analysis together with all financial and non-financial information appearing elsewhere in this report and with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, referred to as our 2012 Form 10-K, which has been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2013, including the risk factors set forth therein.  In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this report contain forward-looking information that involve risks and uncertainties, including the statement that our cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund our operations and capital expenditures through 2013 and beyond.  Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking information due to competitive factors and other risks discussed in our 2012 Form 10-K under “Risks Associated with our Business”.

Business Overview

ULURU Inc. (hereinafter “we”, “our”, “us”, “ULURU”, or the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation.  We are a diversified specialty pharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing a broad range of innovative wound care and muco-adhesive film products based on our patented Nanoflex® and OraDiscTM drug delivery technologies, with the goal of improving outcomes for patients, health care professionals, and health care payers.

Our strategy is twofold:

§
Establish the foundation for a market leadership position in wound management by developing and commercializing a customer focused portfolio of innovative wound care products based on the Nanoflex® technology to treat the various phases of wound healing; and
§
Develop our oral-transmucosal technology (OraDiscTM) and generate revenues through multiple licensing agreements.

Utilizing our technologies, three of our products have been approved for marketing in various global markets.  In addition, numerous additional products are under development utilizing our patented Nanoflex® and OraDiscTM drug delivery technologies.

Altrazeal® Transforming Powder Dressing, based on our Nanoflex® technology, has the potential to change the way health care providers approach their treatment of wounds.  Launched domestically in September 2008 and internationally in July 2012, the product is indicated for exuding wounds such as partial thickness burns, donor sites, abrasions, surgical, acute and chronic wounds.

Aphthasol®, our Amlexanox 5% paste product is the first drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of canker sores.

OraDisc™ A was initially developed as a drug delivery system to treat canker sores with the same active ingredient (amlexanox) that is used in Aphthasol® paste. We anticipate that higher amlexanox concentrations will be achieved at the disease site, increasing the effectiveness of the product.  OraDisc™ A was approved by the FDA in September 2004.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Fluctuations in Operating Results

Our results of operations have fluctuated significantly from period to period in the past and are likely to continue to do so in the future. We anticipate that our quarterly and annual results of operations will be impacted for the foreseeable future by several factors, including the timing and amount of payments received pursuant to our current and future collaborations, and the progress and timing of expenditures related to our development and commercialization efforts. Due to these fluctuations, we believe that the period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be a good indication of our future performance.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

Total Revenues

Revenues were approximately $102,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to revenues of approximately $60,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and were comprised of licensing fees of approximately $11,000 from Altrazeal® and OraDisc™ licensing agreements and product sales of approximately $91,000 for Altrazeal®.

The first quarter 2013 revenues represent an overall increase of approximately $42,000 versus the comparative first quarter 2012 revenues.  The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to, in approximate numbers, an increase of $55,000 in Altrazeal® product sales and an increase of $3,000 in Altrazeal® licensing fees.  These revenue increases were partially offset by a decrease of $16,000 in royalties related to the domestic sale of Aphthasol®.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was approximately $41,000 and was comprised entirely of costs associated with Altrazeal®.  Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was approximately $17,000 and was comprised entirely of costs associated with Altrazeal®.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses totaled approximately $165,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, including $1,000 in share-based compensation, compared to approximately $193,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which included $8,000 in share-based compensation.  The decrease of approximately $28,000 in research and development expenses was primarily due to, in approximate numbers, a $61,000 decrease in scientific compensation related to share-based compensation and a lower head count, a decrease of $20,000 in clinical study costs, and a $6,000 decrease in regulatory costs.  These expense decreases were partially offset by an increase of $59,000 in direct research costs related to Altrazeal®.

The direct research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were, in approximate numbers, as follows:

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled approximately $261,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, including $9,000 in share-based compensation, compared to approximately $476,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which included $17,000 in share-based compensation.

The decrease of approximately $216,000 in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to, in approximate numbers, a $111,000 decrease in sales & marketing costs due to a revised sales and marketing plan and a lower head count, a $28,000 decrease in bad debt expenses, a $21,000 decrease in insurance costs, a $21,000 decrease in investor relations consulting, a $19,000 decrease in consulting costs related to XBRL reporting, a $9,000 decrease in accounting fees associated with our annual audit, a $8,000 decrease in legal costs related to our patents, a $6,000 decrease in compensation costs due to reduced share-based compensation, a $4,000 decrease in fees associated with listing exchange fees, a $4,000 decrease in occupancy costs, a $4,000 decrease due to reduced corporate travel, a $2,000 decrease in costs for director fees, and a $2,000 decrease in operating costs.  These expense decreases were partially offset by, in approximate numbers, a $15,000 increase in legal fees related to a licensing agreement dispute, and an $8,000 increase in consulting fees related to licensing agreement procurement.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets expense totaled approximately $117,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to approximately $118,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The expense for each period consists primarily of amortization associated with our acquired patents.  There were no additional purchases of patents during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 
- 29 -




Depreciation

Depreciation expense totaled approximately $65,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to approximately $75,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The decrease of approximately $10,000 is attributable to certain equipment being fully depreciated.

Interest and Miscellaneous Income

Interest and miscellaneous income totaled approximately $22,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to approximately $2,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The increase of approximately $20,000 is attributable to an increase in interest income resulting from interest recognized from the outstanding notes receivable from Inter-Mountain.

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled approximately $132,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to approximately $25,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  Interest expense is comprised of financing costs for our insurance policies, interest costs related to regulatory fees, and interest costs and amortization of debt discount and financing costs related to our convertible debt.  The increase of approximately $107,000 is primarily attributable to costs associated with our convertible debt and interest costs relating to regulatory fees.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have funded our operations primarily through the public and private sales of convertible debentures and common stock.  Product sales, royalty payments, contract research, licensing fees and milestone payments from our corporate alliances have provided, and are expected in the future to provide, funding for operations. Our principal source of liquidity is cash and cash equivalents.  As of March 31, 2013 our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $6,000 which is a decrease of approximately $16,000 as compared to our cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2012 of approximately $22,000.  Our working capital (current assets less current liabilities) was approximately $(2,507,000) at March 31, 2013 as compared to our working capital at December 31, 2012 of approximately $(2,774,000).

Investing Activities

There were no investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $220,000 and relates to the fourth and final payment from the divestiture of our Zindaclin® intangible asset.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three month ended March 31, 2013 was approximately $481,000 and was comprised of approximately $395,000 from the sale of common stock and warrants pursuant to the January 2013 Offering and approximately $86,000 from the sale of common stock and warrants pursuant to the March 2013 Offering.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was approximately $305,000 and was comprised of approximately $276,000 from the net proceeds of our sale of preferred stock in January 2012 and approximately $29,000 from a decrease in the estimate of offering costs associated with the sale of preferred stock in 2011.

Liquidity

As of April 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $16,000.  We expect to use our cash, cash equivalents, and investments on working capital, general corporate purposes, property and equipment, and the payment of contractual obligations.  Our long-term liquidity will depend to a great extent on our ability to fully commercialize our Altrazeal® and OraDisc™ technologies; therefore we are continuing to look both domestically and internationally for opportunities that will enable us to expand our business.  At this time, we cannot accurately predict the effect of certain developments on the rate of sales growth, if any, during 2013 and beyond, such as the speed and degree of market acceptance, patent protection and exclusivity of our products, the impact of competition, the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts, and the outcome of our current efforts to develop, receive approval for, and successfully launch our near-term product candidates.

Based on our existing liquidity, the expected level of operating expenses, projected sales of our existing products combined with other revenues, proceeds from the convertible debt transaction in June 2012, proceeds from the January 2013 Offering, and proceeds from the March 2013 Offering, we believe these factors will provide us with adequate financial resources to continue to fund our business plan and meet our operating requirements through 2013 and beyond.  We do not expect any material changes in our capital expenditure spending during 2013.  However, we cannot be sure that revenues or proceeds from capital transactions will reach anticipated levels.

 
- 32 -


As we continue to expend funds to advance our business plan, there can be no assurance that changes in our development plans, capital expenditures or other events affecting our operations will not result in the earlier depletion of our funds.  In appropriate situations, we may seek financial assistance from other sources, including contribution by others to joint ventures and other collaborative or licensing arrangements for the development, testing, manufacturing and marketing of products under development.  Additionally, we may explore alternative financing sources for our business activities, including the possibility of loans and public and/or private offerings of debt and equity securities.  Other than outstanding Investor Notes from Inter-Mountain, proceeds from the January 2013 Offering, and proceeds from the March 2013 Offering, we have no agreements with respect to our potential receipt of additional capital.  We cannot be certain that necessary funding will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

Our future capital requirements and adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors including:

§ 
our ability to successfully commercialize our wound management and burn care products and the market acceptance of these products;
§ 
our ability to establish and maintain collaborative arrangements with corporate partners for the development and commercialization of certain product opportunities;
§ 
continued scientific progress in our development programs;
§ 
the costs involved in filing, prosecuting and enforcing patent claims;
§ 
competing technological developments; and
§ 
the cost of manufacturing and production scale-up.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our outstanding contractual cash obligations as of December 31, 2012, which consists of a lease agreement for office and laboratory space in Addison, Texas which commenced on April 1, 2006, a lease agreement for office equipment, a separation agreement with our current chief executive officer, Kerry P. Gray, and the principal balance due for our three convertible note agreements.  These obligations and commitments assume non-termination of agreements and represent expected payments based on current operating forecasts, which are subject to change:

Capital Expenditures

Our expenditures for property, equipment, and leasehold improved were nil for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  At this time, we believe that our capital expenditures for the remainder of 2013 will be approximately $60,000 and consist of equipment related to the manufacture of our products.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2013, we did not have any off balance sheet arrangements.

Impact of Inflation

We have experienced only moderate price increases over the last three fiscal years under our agreements with third-party manufacturers as a result of raw material and labor price increases.  However, there can be no assurance that possible future inflation would not impact our operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations addresses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. The preparation of our financial statements requires that we 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. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  Our critical accounting policies are summarized in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2013.  We had no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since our last annual report.


SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (including documents incorporated by reference) and other written and oral statements the Company makes from time to time contain certain “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the fact they use words such as “should”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “will”, “target”, “may”, “project”, “guidance”, “intend”, “plan”, “believe” and other words and terms of similar meaning and expression in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. One can also identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.  Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including factors that could delay, divert or change any of them, and could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from current expectations. These statements include, among other things, statements regarding the Company’s expected cash and cash equivalents and working capital being sufficient to fund our operations and capital expenditure requirements through 2013 and beyond, and other statements, including the Company’s goals, plans and projections regarding its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, market position, product development, product approvals, sales efforts, expenses, performance or results of current and anticipated products and the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, and financial results, which are based on current expectations that involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including internal or external factors that could delay, divert or change any of them in the next several years.  The Company has included important factors in the cautionary statements included in its 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly under “Risk Associated with our Business” that the Company believes could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement.
 
Although the Company believes it has been prudent in its plans and assumptions, no assurance can be given that any goal or plan set forth in forward-looking statements can be achieved and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date made.  The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Concentration of credit risk with respect to financial instruments, consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk due to the use of a limited number of banking institutions and due to maintaining cash balances in banks, which, at times, may exceed the limits of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  Currently, we utilized Bank of America, N.A. and Bank of America Investment Services, Inc. as our banking institutions.  At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 our cash and cash equivalents totaled $5,913 and $21,549, respectively.  We also invest cash in excess of immediate requirements in money market accounts, certificates of deposit, corporate commercial paper with high quality ratings, and U.S. government securities.  These investments are not held for trading or other speculative purposes.  We are exposed to credit risk in the event of default by these institutions.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are customers with balances that exceed 5% of total consolidated trade accounts receivable at March 31, 2013 and at December 31, 2012.  As of March 31, 2013, two customers exceeded the 5% threshold, with 75% and 16%, respectively.  Two customers exceeded the 5% threshold at December 31, 2012, with 77% and 13%, respectively.  To reduce risk, we routinely assess the financial strength of our most significant customers and monitor the amounts owed to us, taking appropriate action when necessary.  As a result, we believe that accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited.  We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts, but historically have not experienced any significant losses related to an individual customer or group of customers.

Concentrations of Foreign Currency Risk

Currently, a portion of our revenue and all of our expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, although we are recently experiencing an increase in revenues in international territories denominated in a foreign currency.  Certain of our licensing and distribution agreements in international territories are denominated in Euros.  Currently, we do not employ forward contracts or other financial instruments to mitigate foreign currency risk.  As our international operations continue to grow, we may engage in hedging activities to hedge our exposure to foreign currency risk.

Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d015(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to our chief executive officer and chief financial officer by others within the Company, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared, and (2) effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Controls.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to material affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, in management’s opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations or financial position. There are no material proceedings to which any director, officer or any of our affiliates, any owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of any class of our voting securities, or any associate of any such director, officer, our affiliates, or security holder, is a party adverse to us or our consolidated subsidiary or has a material interest adverse thereto.


 Risk Factors.
