Organization and Liquidity	Note 1. Organization and Liquidity Organization Taxus Cardium Pharmaceuticals Group, Inc. (the “Company,” or “Cardium,”) was incorporated in Delaware in December 2003. The Company is a regenerative medicine biotechnology company focused on the development of advanced regenerative therapeutics designed to promote the activation and growth of (1) microvascular circulation to enhance perfusion of ischemic cardiac tissue as a potential treatment for heart disease; and (2) granulation tissue as a treatment for chronic non-healing wounds. The Company has a commercial FDA-cleared wound care product, a late clinical stage cardiovascular gene therapy product candidate and corresponding technology platforms as outlined below. The Company also owns LifeAgain Insurance Solutions, Inc., a medical analytics business and holds an investment interest in Healthy Brands Collective, a health products company. Based on the Company’s business strategy of partnering or otherwise monetizing products and product candidates with third party commercialization partners, two subsidiaries have been formed to coordinate the independent monetization and funding activities of its core products and technologies. The Angionetics Inc. subsidiary will focus on the late-stage clinical development and commercialization of the Company’s Generx ^® angiogenic gene therapy product candidate, and the Activation Therapeutics, Inc. subsidiary will focus on the commercialization of the Excellagen ^® FDA-cleared wound care product and the joint clinical development of Excellagen product line extensions as an advanced biologic delivery platform for new and innovative wound healing therapeutics. During 2013, the Company completed the initial product development of LifeAgain™, a medical analytics and social media-driven enabled e-commerce platform that is focused on the development, marketing and direct sales of new and innovative survivable risk, multi-year, non-convertible level term life insurance programs and other insurance products, that are currently non-accessible and unaffordable for certain sub-groups of highly motivated buyers considered “uninsurable” based on traditional underwriting standards by U.S. life insurance companies. The Company released the first product aimed at individuals with prostate cancer in 2013. LifeAgain Insurance Solutions, Inc. is operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cardium. The Company’s business is focused on the acquisition and strategic development of product opportunities or businesses having the potential to address significant unmet medical needs, and having definable pathways to commercialization. The Company intends to consider various corporate development transactions designed to place its product candidates into larger organizations or with partners having existing commercialization, sales and marketing resources, and a need for innovative products. Such transactions could involve the sale, partnering or other monetization of particular product opportunities or businesses. The Company has yet to generate positive cash flows from operations, and is essentially dependent on debt and equity funding to finance its operations. Reverse Stock Split On July 17, 2013, pursuant to board and stockholder approval, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware to affect a reverse split of the Company’s outstanding common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in a ratio of 1:20. The effective date of the reverse stock split was July 18, 2013. On that date, every 20 shares of outstanding common stock were reclassified and combined into one share of common stock. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Instead, each resulting fractional share of common stock was rounded down to one whole share. The reverse stock split reduced the number of shares of common stock outstanding from 134,366,340 to 6,718,317. All common stock and per share amounts contained in the consolidated financial statements included in this report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 1 for 20 reverse stock split, as if such split had been effective at the beginning of the earliest period reported. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $217,000 in cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s working capital deficit at December 31, 2014 was approximately $2,008,000. The Company has incurred recurring losses and as of December 31, 2014, the Company has accumulated deficit of approximately $111 million. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has used approximately $2.5 million and $6 million in its operating activities. The Company’s primary source of capital resources is from proceeds from sales of its debt and equity securities. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company raised net proceeds of approximately $2.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively from the sale of common stock and preferred stock to be used for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited, research and development activities and for working capital. The Company anticipates that negative cash flows from operations will continue for the foreseeable future. The Company currently, does not have any unused credit facilities. As long as any shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company has agreed that it will not, without the consent of the holders of two-thirds of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, incur indebtedness other than specified “Permitted Indebtedness”, incur any liens other than specified “Permitted Liens”. The Company’s principal business objectives are to advance the independent monetization and funding activities of its core products and technologies, with its Angionetics Inc. subsidiary being focused on the Generx ^® angiogenic gene therapy product candidate, and its Activation Therapeutics, Inc. subsidiary being focused on the Excellagen ^® FDA-cleared wound care product and the joint clinical development of Excellagen product line extensions as an advanced biologic delivery platform for new and innovative wound healing therapeutics, and/or to complete alterative corporate transactions. If the Company fails to conclude such transaction in a timely manner or alternatively fails to generate sufficient cash from financing activities, the Company will not generate sufficient cash flows to cover its operating expenses. The Company’s history of recurring losses and uncertainties as to whether its operations will become profitable raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets or classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
