RISK FACTORS
 
6
     
We do not have sufficient funds to bring our product to market for use by large patient populations. Unless we secure additional financing we will not be able to continue to operate our business.
 
6
 
   
Because of our history of ongoing losses and because we may never generate a profit and our lack of cash or other current assets, we have received an opinion from our independent registered public accountants that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern
 
6
     
We have accumulated obligations that we are required, but are unable to pay currently. This also raises doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern
 
7
     
Unless we secure FDA clearance for the sale of ORCEL to treat venous stasis ulcers it will be difficult for us to continue to operate our business
 
7
     
Unless we later secure FDA clearance for the sale of ORCEL in its cryopreserved form to treat diabetic foot ulcers our sales of ORCEL will be more limited and thereby limit our ability to earn profits
 
7
 
   
Business changes at the corporation with which we have r manufacturing and marketing agreements could adversely affect the operation of our business
 
7
     
Clinical trials for ORCEL are expensive, time consuming and their outcome is uncertain
 
7
     
Even if our ORCEL receives regulatory clearance, ORCEL will still be subject to extensive post-market regulation which will result in significant expense to us
 
8
     
Our failure to sell ORCEL on a profitable basis will limit our ability to continue our operations
 
8
     
We are subject to extensive governmental regulation which increases the costs of manufacturing our product and will thereby negatively impact our ability to earn profits
 
9
     
The medical community may not accept ORCEL which will prevent us from selling ORCEL and prevent us from continuing our business
 
9
     
Our potential competitors have greater financial, sales and marketing resources than we do so that we may have difficulty in competing against them
 
9
     
We rely on a limited number of key suppliers to manufacture ORCEL and therefore run the risk or delay in securing needed materials from other suppliers. We also rely on only one distributor to sell ORCEL in the United States, Canada and Mexico and run the risk that such distributor may not successfully market ORCEL
 
10
     
We depend on our patents and proprietary technology which may not provide us with sufficient protection against technologies used, or which may be used by our competitors. We cannot protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world
 
10
     
We may be subject to product liability claims which we might not be able to pay thereby causing us to discontinue our business
 
10
     
If we lose our key employees we may not be able to continue our business operations
 
11
     
The market prices of our common stock may be highly volatile creating greater financial risk for the owners of our common stock
 
11
     
Our largest stockholders may take actions that are contrary to your interests, including selling their stock
 
11
     
We may have to sell additional equity securities in the future which will dilute the portion of Ortec’s equity owned by our current stockholders

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
The Company
 
We are a biotechnology company which was organized in 1991 under the laws of the State of Delaware. We are currently in the development stage, and accordingly, have no revenues. Our offices are located at 3960 Broadway, New York, New York 10032. Our telephone number is 212-740-6999. Our website address is www.ortecinternational.com. Our OTC Bulletin Board Symbol is OTCI.

Our company is focused on advancing regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy through the development and commercialization of innovative products by combining advanced cell technology and advanced biomaterials. Our lead product is OrCel ® (Bilayered Cellular Matrix) (ORCEL). Our current focus is the application of ORCEL to heal chronic and acute wounds. ORCEL is composed of a collagen sponge seeded with allogeneic epidermal and dermal cells. These cells secrete growth factors and cytokines normally found in acute human wounds and are believed to have a beneficial role in promoting tissue repair.
 
We have completed a pivotal clinical trial evaluating a cryopreserved version of ORCEL in the treatment of venous stasis ulcers and we have filed a Pre Market Approval (PMA) application for commercial sales of ORCEL to treat venous stasis ulcers. We completed patient enrollment in a confirmatory trial required by the FDA and the data from this confirmatory trial is expected to be integrated with the results of the completed pivotal clinical trial and submitted as a clinical supplement to our PMA filing. We already obtained FDA clearance for use of a non-frozen version of ORCEL in the treatment of Epidermolysis Bullosa and donor sites in burn patients. In addition, the FDA has granted us approval to initiate a pivotal (Phase III) trial evaluating ORCEL for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.
 
In April 2006, we acquired two fibrin derived advanced biomaterial technologies, Fibrin Microbeads (FMB’s) and Haptides™. FMB’s have the potential to play a significant role in advancing stem cell therapy having demonstrated the ability to efficiently recover adult stem cells and allow for their growth, proliferation, and potential reimplantation into the patient. Haptides™ utilize proprietary synthetic peptides that mimic the mechanism of cell attachment to fibrin. These peptides have demonstrated the ability to significantly enhance cell attraction and attachment providing the potential to use Haptides™ in the development of products for cosmetic tissue augmentation, wound healing, orthopedics, and drug delivery markets.

On June 18, 2007, we entered into the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement (Exchange Agreement) with Paul Royalty Fund (PRF), and PRF exchanged its interest in our future revenues, recorded as a $43,401,000 liability at that date, for 500 shares of our new Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (A-1 Preferred) and 500 shares of our new Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (A-2 Preferred), each share having a liquidation preference of $10,000. The stated values of the A-1 and A-2 Preferred can be converted to our common stock at conversion rates of $0.50 and $5.00 per common share, respectively, or an aggregate of 11,000,000 common shares on an as converted basis for both the A-1 and A-2 Preferred. Our earlier agreements with PRF were cancelled and PRF’s liens were therefore removed from our intellectual property. As a result of this transaction we recorded a gain of $35,527,695.

In three closings of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, beginning June 18, 2007 and ending July 31, 2007, we sold an aggregate of 842.198 shares of A Preferred with warrants attached and received gross cash proceeds of $8,421,980. Of this amount, we immediately repaid $226,936 to bridge loan holders who did not wish to participate in the private placement, and paid our placement agent fees aggregating $1,132,098. As part of the first closing, holders of $2,701,500 of previously outstanding convertible bridge notes, the proceeds of which were used to finance our operations during the months of October 2006 to the first closing on June 18, 2007, exchanged their notes with $94,264 of interest, or $2,795,764, at 125% of their face value, or $3,494,705, for 349.470 shares of A Preferred with warrants attached. The total outstanding 1,191.668 shares of A Preferred can be converted into 23,833,360 shares of our common stock. We issued Series A warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,916,680 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share, Series M warrants to purchase an aggregate of 15,466,680 shares of our common stock at $0.50 per share, and Series M-1 warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,733,340 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share. Our placement agent received five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,156,670 shares of our common stock at $0.55 per share.

We recorded net income applicable to common shareholders of $17.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 because of our gain of $35.5 million on the early extinguishment of our revenue interest obligation. Without such gain we would have incurred a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $18.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007. We have a deficit accumulated in the development stage of $161.8 million. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have 11,152,203 common shares outstanding. We also have 1,191.668 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock convertible to 23,833,360 common shares, 500 shares of Series A-1 convertible preferred stock convertible to 10,000,000 common shares, 500 shares of Series A-2 convertible preferred stock convertible to 1,000,000 common shares, and 5,948.6148 shares of Series D-1 preferred stock convertible to 1,586,297 common shares. Additionally, we have warrants outstanding entitling the holders to purchase an aggregate of 51,179,359 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.93, and stock options to purchase 82,068 shares of common stock, of which 55,000 shares can be purchased at $0.55 per share with the balance exercisable at prices in excess of $2.85. We have also given stock options to purchase shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock with warrants attached, which options and warrants give the holder the right to acquire an aggregate of 900,000 shares of our common stock as follows: 400,000 shares upon payment of $2,000 and 500,000 shares at warrant exercise prices of $0.50 and $1.00 per common share.

RISK FACTORS
 
You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be harmed. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. 
 
Risks Related to Our Business

We do not have sufficient funds to bring our product to market for use by large patient populations. Unless we secure additional financing we will not be able to continue to operate our business.

We recently completed a private placement of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. We believe that the proceeds from such private placement will enable us to continue our operations until approximately January 2008. We will need to secure additional financing for the approximately $630,000 of cash we are currently consuming per month, for our operations after January 2008. The amount of cash we consume each month fluctuates, depending, among other things, on whether we are incurring expenses from services provided by third party suppliers in connection with a clinical trial and what payments we have to make on our outstanding debt.

We will have to obtain additional funds through the sale of our securities to the public and through private placements, debt financing or other, including short-term, loans. We may not be able to secure any additional financing nor may we be able to reach the larger patient population markets of persons with venous stasis ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers, with funds that we may be able to raise. We are also likely to continue to encounter difficulties which are common to development stage companies, including unanticipated costs relating to development, delays in the testing of products, regulatory approval and compliance and competition.

Our capital funding requirements depend on numerous factors, including:

 
·
the progress and magnitude of our research and development programs;
     
 
·
the time involved in obtaining regulatory approvals for the commercial sale of our ORCEL product in its cryopreserved form to treat venous stasis ulcers and, later, diabetic foot ulcers;
     
 
·
the costs involved in filing and maintaining patent claims;
     
 
·
technological advances;
     
 
·
competitive and market conditions;
     
 
·
the successful implementation of the agreements we have entered into with Lonza for manufacturing and sales of our ORCEL product;
     
 
·
our ability to establish and maintain other collaborative arrangements and
     
 
·
the cost and effectiveness of commercialization activities and arrangements.

Unless we obtain such additional financing we will not be able to continue to operate our business after January 2008. We have no current commitments from any persons that they will provide us with additional financing.

Because of our history of ongoing losses and because we may never generate a profit and our lack of cash or other current assets, we have received an opinion from our independent registered public accountants that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Since our organization in 1991 we have sustained losses each year because, among other reasons, we have had very limited sales of our product. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we have a deficit accumulated in our development stage of $161,841,757. Our independent registered public accountants advised us that these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Unless we obtain additional financing we will not be able to continue as a going concern.
 
6


We have accumulated obligations that we are required, but are unable, to pay currently. This also raises doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

As of June 30, 2007, payment of approximately $2,435,000 of the approximately $2,575,000 we owed to our trade creditors was past due.

While we have arranged for payment of some of our obligations over a period of time, and have to make other payments of past due obligations to our current and ongoing suppliers, our ability to make payments we have agreed to pay and to insure continued receipt of needed supplies, and to continue reducing our past due obligations, will depend on our ability to secure needed financing or our ability to issue equity in satisfaction of certain obligations.

Unless we secure FDA clearance for the sale of ORCEL to treat venous stasis ulcers it will be difficult for us to continue to operate our business.

We may not obtain FDA clearance for the commercial sale of the cryopreserved form of ORCEL for the treatment of venous stasis ulcers and later for diabetic foot ulcers. Among the factors which may contribute to those findings are a negative assessment of our manufacturing processes, raw materials used in manufacturing our product, our freezing technique, and ORCEL’s clinical results. If we do not obtain FDA clearance for the sale of ORCEL in its cryopreserved form for the treatment of venous stasis ulcers, it may be difficult for us to raise capital to continue our business operations.

Unless we later secure FDA clearance for the sale of ORCEL in its cryopreserved form to treat diabetic foot ulcers our sales of ORCEL will be more limited and thereby limit our ability to earn profits.

Although we have completed an FDA cleared pilot clinical trial for the use of the fresh form of ORCEL for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers, we do not have the funds available to conduct a pivotal clinical trial for the use of ORCEL in its cryopreserved form for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. The cryopreserved form of ORCEL has a shelf life of approximately seven months as opposed to only approximately three to five days for the fresh form of ORCEL. We do not expect to begin the FDA clearance process for a pivotal trial for cryopreserved ORCEL for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers until after, and if, we receive clearance for the sale of cryopreserved ORCEL in the treatment of venous stasis ulcers, and only if we believe that we can secure financing for the conduct of that trial. If we are unable to later obtain FDA clearance for the sale of cryopreserved ORCEL for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers, our sales of ORCEL will be more limited and thereby limit our ability to earn profits.

Business changes at the corporation with which we have manufacturing and marketing agreements could adversely affect the operations of our business.

In the first quarter of 2007, Cambrex Bio Science of Walkersville, Inc. was acquired by Lonza, Inc. We are aware that Lonza, Inc. is a substantially larger public company with far greater resources than Cambrex. Unknown to us is whether Lonza’s management will perform Cambrex’s commitments to manufacture and market our ORCEL product. The loss of these contractual commitments, if we receive FDA clearance for commercial sales of ORCEL to treat venous stasis ulcers in the second half of 2007, would leave us in the difficult position of negotiating new arrangements at or near the time we should be working on preparing for future commercial sales and building inventory of our product.

Clinical trials for ORCEL are expensive, time consuming and their outcome is uncertain.
 
Clinical trials are very expensive and difficult to design and implement. The clinical trial process is also time consuming. Before we can obtain regulatory clearance for the commercial sale of any product that we wish to develop, we are required to complete extensive human clinical trials to demonstrate its safety and efficacy. The timing of the commencement, continuation and completion of clinical trials may be subject to significant delays relating to various causes, including:
 
 
·
delays or inability to manufacture or obtain sufficient quantities of materials for use in clinical trials;
     
 
·
delays in obtaining regulatory approvals to commence a study;
     
 
·
delays in identifying and reaching agreement on acceptable terms with prospective clinical trial sites;
     
 
·
slower than expected rates of patient recruitment and enrollment;
     
 
·
uncertain dosing issues;
     
 
·
inability or unwillingness of medical investigators to follow our clinical protocols;
     
 
·
variability in the number and types of subjects available for each study and resulting difficulties in identifying and enrolling subjects who meet trial eligibility criteria;
     
 
·
scheduling conflicts with participating clinicians and clinical institutions;
 
7

 
 
·
difficulty in maintaining contact with subjects after treatment, resulting in incomplete data;
     
 
·
unforeseen safety issues or side effects;
     
 
·
lack of effectiveness during the clinical trials, or
     
 
·
other regulatory delays.

Even if our ORCEL receives regulatory clearance, ORCEL will still be subject to extensive post-market regulation which will result in significant expense to us.
 
If we receive regulatory clearance for ORCEL, we will also be subject to ongoing FDA obligations and continued regulatory review, such as continued safety reporting requirements, and we may also be subject to additional FDA post-marketing obligations, all of which may result in significant expense and limit our ability to commercialize our product.
 
If we receive FDA clearance, the FDA may still impose significant restrictions on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed or impose ongoing requirements for potentially costly post-approval studies. In addition, regulatory agencies subject a product, its manufacturer and the manufacturer’s facilities to continual review and periodic inspections. The subsequent discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse medical effects, or problems with the facility where the product is manufactured, may result in restrictions on the marketing of that product, and could include withdrawal of the product from the market. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements may result in:
 
 
·
issuance of warning letters by the FDA;
     
 
·
fines and other civil penalties;
     
 
·
criminal prosecutions;
     
 
·
injunctions, suspensions or revocations of marketing licenses;
     
 
·
suspension of any ongoing clinical trials;
     
 
·
suspension of manufacturing;
     
 
·
delays in commercialization;
     
 
·
refusal by the FDA to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications filed by us or our collaborators;
     
 
·
refusals to permit products to be imported or exported to or from the United States;
     
 
·
restrictions on operations, including costly new manufacturing requirements, and
     
 
·
product recalls or seizures.
 
The FDA’s policies may change and additional government regulations may be enacted that could prevent or delay regulatory clearance of our ORCEL or further restrict or regulate post-clearance activities. We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of adverse government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative action, either in the United States or abroad. If we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, we might not be permitted to market ORCEL and we may therefore have to discontinue the operations of our business.
 
In order to market any products outside of the United States, we and our collaborators must establish and comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements of other countries regarding safety and efficacy. Approval procedures vary among countries and can involve additional product testing and additional administrative review periods. The time required to obtain clearance in other countries might differ from that required to obtain FDA clearance. The regulatory clearance process in other countries may include all of the risks associated with FDA clearance as well as additional presently unanticipated risks. Regulatory clearance in one country does not ensure regulatory clearance in another, but a failure or delay in obtaining regulatory clearance in one country may negatively impact the regulatory process in others. Failure to obtain regulatory clearance in other countries or any delay or setback in obtaining such clearance could have the same adverse effects associated with regulatory clearance in the United States, including the risk that our product may not be cleared for all indications requested and that such clearance may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which ORCEL may be marketed.

Our failure to sell ORCEL on a profitable basis will limit our ability to continue our operations.

To date ORCEL is the only product that we have developed and for which we have conducted human clinical trials. In the event we fail to develop additional products, or if the FDA does not grant us clearance to use ORCEL for the treatment of venous stasis ulcers and later diabetic foot ulcers, or if ORCEL is not favorably received by the medical community or it becomes obsolete, we will be unable to become profitable and we may be required to discontinue our operations.

We are subject to extensive governmental regulation which increases the costs of manufacturing our product and will thereby negatively impact our ability to earn profits.

Our business is subject to extensive regulation principally by the FDA in the United States and corresponding foreign regulatory agencies in each country in which we intend to sell ORCEL. These regulations affect:

 
·
Product marketing clearances or approvals;
     
 
·
Product standards;
     
 
·
Packaging requirements;
     
 
·
Design requirements;
     
 
·
Manufacturing and quality assurance, including compliance by the manufacturing facility with good manufacturing process requirements, record keeping, reporting and product testing standards;
     
 
·
Labeling;
     
 
·
Periodic FDA inspections of the facility in which ORCEL will be manufactured;
     
 
·
Import and export restrictions, and
     
 
·
Tariffs and other tax requirements.

Our need to comply with these regulatory requirements will increase the cost of manufacturing our ORCEL product and negatively impact our ability to earn profits.

The medical community may not accept ORCEL which will prevent us from selling ORCEL and prevent us from continuing our business.

Market acceptance for ORCEL will depend upon a number of factors, including:

 
·
The receipt and timing of FDA regulatory approvals for use of ORCEL, in its cryopreserved form, for the treatment of venous stasis ulcers and later for diabetic foot ulcers;
     
 
·
Acceptance by the medical community of ORCEL for the treatment of the medical conditions that it is intended to treat, the demonstration of its safety and its cost effectiveness, and
     
 
·
Securing approval of third parties, such as Medicare and insurance companies, for reimbursement for the cost of ORCEL.

Unless we secure market acceptance for ORCEL we will be unable to sell ORCEL and as a result we will be unable to conduct our business.

Our potential competitors have greater financial, sales and marketing resources than we do so that we may have difficulty in competing against them.
 
See “Description of Business - Competition”. As there noted, sales of Apligraf for the treatment of venous leg ulcers are now being made directly by Organogenesis and sales of Dermagraft for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers are now being made by Advanced BioHealing. We believe that both Organogenesis and Advanced BioHealing are each larger than we are and have significantly greater resources than we have. The biomedical field is continually undergoing rapid and significant technological changes. Other companies may succeed in developing other products that are more effective than ORCEL. If such new products are accepted by the medical community, or if those products receive FDA clearance for treatment of venous stasis and diabetic foot ulcers before ORCEL does, or if other companies develop products that are more effective than ORCEL, any such developments could impede our ability to continue our operations.

We rely on a limited number of key suppliers to manufacture ORCEL and therefore run the risk of delay in securing needed materials from other suppliers. We also rely on only one company to manufacture ORCEL and to sell ORCEL in the United States, Canada and Mexico. We run the risk that such company may not successfully manufacture or market ORCEL.

See the discussion of “Description of Business-Sales and Marketing” and “Description of Business-Production and Supply” where we describe our production and sales distribution agreements with Lonza and our agreements with other suppliers. If (i) Lonza does not produce ORCEL, or (ii) Lonza does not produce it at a per unit price well below the price at which we can sell ORCEL in North America, or (iii) another distributor does not successfully and profitably market ORCEL, we may not be able to continue, or at least would be seriously hampered in continuing, our business operations. Also, any disruption in the supply of corium or collagen matrix or other materials from our current suppliers of such materials would have a significant negative impact on our ability to manufacture and sell ORCEL or at least would cause us delays and additional expenses in the manufacturing of ORCEL.

We depend on our patents and proprietary technology which may not provide us with sufficient protection against technologies used, or which may be used by our competitors. We cannot protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world.
 
The validity and breadth of claims in medical technology patents involves complex legal and factual questions and, therefore, are highly uncertain. Although we successfully defended challenges to our United States and European patents in the respective patent offices where those patents were issued, those successful defenses do not preclude future challenges in court. We do not know if any of the patents issued to us will be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Patents and patent applications in the United States may be subject to an interference proceeding brought by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or to opposition proceedings initiated in a foreign patent office by third parties. We might incur significant costs defending such proceedings and we might not be successful. We do not know if any of our patents or any of our pending patent applications or any future patent application of ours that will issue as patents, will provide us with the scope of patent protection that will be enough to exclude competitors. We also do not know that any of our patents will be held valid if subsequently challenged or that others will not claim rights in or ownership of the patents and other proprietary rights held by us. We do not know if others have or will develop similar products, duplicate any of our products or design around any of our patents issued or that may be issued in the future. In addition, whether or not patents are issued to us, others may hold or receive patents which contain claims having a scope that covers aspects of our products or processes.

Filing patents on our ORCEL technology throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive. Competitors may use our technology in jurisdictions where we have not obtained patent protection to develop their own products. These products may compete with ORCEL and may not be covered by any of our patent claims or other intellectual property rights.

Patent law outside the United States is also uncertain and many countries are currently reviewing and revising patent laws, particularly with respect to biotechnology and pharmaceutical inventions. The laws of some countries do not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as U.S. laws. It may be necessary or useful for us to participate in proceedings to determine the validity of our, or our competitors’, foreign patents, which could result in substantial cost and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business.

We may be subject to product liability claims which we might not be able to pay thereby causing us to discontinue our business.

ORCEL is designed to be used in the treatment of medical conditions and diseases where there is a high risk of serious medical complications, amputation of the leg or death. Although we have obtained product liability insurance coverage in the amount of $3,000,000, such insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect us against future product liability claims. In addition, the cost of obtaining product liability insurance in the future may prevent us from securing such insurance on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Furthermore there can be no assurance that we will avoid significant product liability claims and the attendant adverse publicity. Large product liability claims or other claims with respect to uninsured or underinsured liabilities could make it impossible for us to continue our business operations.

If we lose our key employee we may not be able to continue our business operations.

The development and production of our product is managed by a wide array of scientific personnel, one of whom we consider to be a key employee. Dr. Melvin Silberklang is our vice president for research and development and our chief scientific officer. The loss of the services of Dr. Silberklang could cause delays in our ongoing business operations, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We do not have an employment contract with Dr. Silberklang nor do we carry a key man insurance policy on his life.

The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile creating greater financial risk for the owners of our common stock.
 
The market price of our common stock has ranged from $0.40 to $53.25 during the past three years. As of August 31, 2007, we had 11,152,203 shares outstanding. Other factors that may affect the price of our common stock include:

 
·
our ability to successfully produce and market and sell our ORCEL product;
     
 
·
our ability to develop other products for sale;
     
 
·
our competitors' announcements concerning technological innovations;
     
 
·
new commercial products or procedures;
     
 
·
proposed government regulations;
     
 
·
developments or disputes relating to patents, trade secrets or proprietary rights, and
     
 
·
the following substantial number of additional shares of our common stock we would have to issue or have recently issued :

 
·
an aggregate of 36,419,657 shares upon conversion of our outstanding Series A, A-1, A-2, and D-1 convertible preferred stock;
     
 
·
an aggregate of 43,446,019 shares upon the exercise of warrants to purchase the shares of our common stock we granted primarily in connection with financings during the past four years;
     
 
·
potentially an aggregate of 7,733,340 shares upon the exercise of Series M-1 warrants whose exercise is contingent upon exercise of the holder’s Series M warrant;
     
 
·
an aggregate of 982,068 shares upon exercise of options we have granted to our employees, our executive officers, our directors and to consultants and vendors, and including 900,000 shares to our former officers.

Our largest stockholders may take actions that are contrary to your interests, including selling their stock.
 
A small number of our stockholders hold a significant amount of our outstanding stock. These stockholders may have interests that are different from those of our other shareholders. In addition, the average number of shares of our stock that trade each day is generally low. As a result, sales of a large number of shares of our stock by these large stockholders or other stockholders within a short period of time could adversely affect our stock price.

We may have to sell additional equity securities in the future which will dilute the portion of Ortec’s equity owned by our current stockholders.

In addition to a number of private placements of our equity securities in the past 5 years, in the future we will probably have to sell more shares of our common stock, or other securities convertible into or otherwise entitling the holder to purchase our common stock. In the future we will also issue additional options to purchase our common stock to our employees, our executive officers, our directors and to consultants and vendors. All such sales and issuances of our common stock, other equity securities and warrants and options to purchase our common stock, will dilute the portion of our equity owned by our current stockholders.

The price protection provisions of most of our outstanding warrants and in our outstanding Series A and A-1 convertible preferred stock might prevent increases in the market price of our common stock.

During the past five years we have sold a large amount of our common stock and our convertible preferred stock in numerous private placements we have completed. We have also entered into other private transactions including our acquisition of Hapto Biotech, Inc. in 2006 in which we issued shares of our common stock. In those private placement sales and in those other private transactions, we also issued warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. At the present time all of our outstanding warrants (not including stock options we have granted to our employees and former directors) entitle the holders of those warrants to purchase a total of 51,179,359 shares of our common stock at the following exercise prices:

Range of Exercise Price

51,179,359
 

In addition we have Series A, A-1, A-2, and D-1 convertible preferred stock outstanding which are convertible into an aggregate of 36,419,657 shares of our common stock. We recently sold such Series A Preferred with warrants (included in the above table) attached in a private placement in June and July 2007. At the same time in related transactions, we issued our Series A-1 and A-2 Preferred as consideration for cancellation by the holder of its right to share in our future revenues. Also, at the same time and as part of such 2007 transactions, in consideration of our former chairman and our former chief executive officer waiving their rights to receive payments of monies we owed them, we granted them options to purchase an aggregate of 20 shares of our Series A Preferred with warrants attached for $2,000. Upon conversion of such 20 Series A Preferred shares and exercise of all the attached warrants (at exercise prices of $0.50 and $1.00 per common share), we would be required to issue an aggregate of 900,000 shares of our common stock.

The Series A and Series A-1 Preferred and almost all of the warrants have price protection and other anti-dilution provisions which could reduce the exercise price of these warrants below the amounts set forth in the above table and also reduce the conversion prices of the Series A and A-1 Preferred. Such price protection and other anti-dilution provisions are described in this prospectus in “Description of Securities” and would be triggered if in the future we sell shares of our common stock below the exercise price of the warrants in question (or the conversion price of the A and A-1 Preferred), or sell or otherwise issue securities convertible into, or which entitle the holder to purchase shares of our common stock at a price which in effect (taking into consideration the price paid for the convertible security or warrant or option) is less than the exercise price of the warrant in question or less than the conversion price of the Series A and A-1 preferred. In the event that the conversion price of the Series A and the Series A-1 price are reduced as a result of such anti-dilution provisions, the number of shares of our common stock into which the Series A and A-1 preferred could be converted would be proportionately increased.

The closing price for our common stock on August 31, 2007 was $0.50.

Because we do not intend to pay any dividends on our common stock, an investor in our common stock may only realize an economic gain from an increase, if any, in the market price of our common stock.
 
We have never paid, and have no intentions in the foreseeable future to pay, any dividends on our common stock. Therefore, an investor who purchases our common stock, in all likelihood, will only realize a profit on his investment if the market price of our common stock increases in value.
 
12


The certificate of designations of our Series A, A-1 and A-2 convertible preferred stock requires significant payments upon a change of control.

Should we wish to enter into a merger transaction, or other transaction in which more than 50% of our voting shares are transferred, or other acquisition type transaction, such transaction would trigger payment of the liquidation preference amount of such preferred stock. Such payments could cause a suitor to pass on the transaction, an opportunity that could potentially increase shareholder value.

Our operations might be interrupted by the occurrence of a natural disaster or other catastrophic event.
 
We depend on our contractors and vendors and on our laboratories and other facilities for the continued operation of our business. Natural disasters or other catastrophic events, including terrorist attacks, power interruptions, wildfires and other fires, , earthquakes and wars could disrupt our operations or those of our contractors and vendors. Even though we believe we carry reasonably adequate business interruption and liability insurance, and Lonza and our suppliers may carry liability insurance that protects us in certain events, we might suffer losses as a result of business interruptions that exceed the coverage available under our and such other entities’ insurance policies or for which we or such other entities do not have coverage. For example, we are not insured against a terrorist attack. Any natural disaster or catastrophic event could have a significant negative impact on our operations and financial results.

New laws and regulations affecting corporate governance may impede our ability to retain and attract board members and executive officers, and increase the costs associated with being a public company.

On July 30, 2002, President George W. Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The new act is designed to enhance corporate responsibility through new corporate governance and disclosure obligations, increase auditor independence, and provide tougher penalties for securities fraud. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules in furtherance of the act and is considering adopting others. This act and the related new rules and regulations will likely have the effect of increasing the complexity and cost of our corporate governance and the time our executive officers spend on such issues, and may increase the risk of personal liability for our board members, chief executive officer, chief financial officer and other executives involved in our corporate governance process. As a result, it may become more difficult for us to attract and retain board members and executive officers involved in the corporate governance process. In addition, we have experienced, and will continue to experience, increased costs associated with being a public company, including additional professional and independent registered public accountant fees.

We may not be able to comply on a timely basis with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes−Oxley Act of 2002.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes−Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, beginning for our year ending December 31, 2007, we will be required to include in our annual report an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Furthermore, beginning with year end December 31, 2008, our registered independent public accounting firm will be required to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We have not yet completed our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We restated our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 to correct an error in the accounting for our Series C Preferred Stock exchange transaction as well as the accounting for warrants we issued in connection with a debt transaction. In connection with the restatement it was determined that we have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. We are in the process of addressing this material weakness. We are also in the process of documenting, reviewing and, where appropriate, improving our internal controls and procedures in anticipation of eventually being subject to the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes−Oxley Act and the related rules. Implementing appropriate changes to our internal controls may entail substantial costs in order to modify our existing financial and accounting systems, take a significant period of time to complete, and distract our officers, directors and employees from the operation of our business. Moreover, these changes may not be effective in maintaining the adequacy or effectiveness of our internal controls. If we fail to complete the assessment on a timely basis, or if our independent registered public accounting firm cannot attest to our assessment, we could be subject to regulatory sanctions and a loss of public confidence. Also, the lack of effective internal control over financial reporting may adversely impact our ability to prepare timely and accurate financial statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the Selling Stockholders of the shares of common stock pursuant to this prospectus which are already owned by them, or which are to be issued to them upon their conversion of shares of any of our convertible preferred stock or when they exercise any of the warrants we granted in equity financings in which we sold shares of our convertible preferred stock if the holders of those warrants use the cashless exercise provisions in those warrants.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview

We are a biotechnology company which was organized in 1991 under the laws of the State of Delaware. We are currently in the development stage, and accordingly, have no revenues. Our offices are located at 3960 Broadway, New York, New York 10032. Our telephone number is 212-740-6999. Our website address is www.ortecinternational.com. Our Stock Symbol is OTCI.OB.

We are a development stage tissue engineering company with core competencies in cell culturing, biology and biomaterials. We have developed a proprietary and patented product that we call OrCel ® (ORCEL), which is used to stimulate the repair and regeneration of human skin. ORCEL is a two-layered tissue engineered dressing that consists of human derived skin cells, both dermal and epidermal, supported within a porous collagen matrix. The composite matrix is seeded with keratinocytes (epidermal cells) and fibroblasts (dermal cells). When ORCEL is applied to the wound site, it produces a mix of growth factors that stimulates wound closure.

Our primary target patient populations for the use of ORCEL are persons with venous stasis and diabetic foot ulcers, which we believe are large potential markets for the use of ORCEL. We also believe that ORCEL may have applications for cosmetic surgery, as well as other types of chronic and acute wounds.

We have developed the technology for the cryopreservation of ORCEL without diminishing its effectiveness. Cryopreservation is the freezing of our product to give it an extended shelf life. Currently, ORCEL has a shelf life of no less than seven months, as opposed to only a few days with the non-cryopreserved product. We believe that the longer shelf life will reduce the cost per unit of producing ORCEL as well as provide us with a marketing advantage over non-frozen competitive products.

In 2001, the FDA granted our application for the commercial sale of the fresh form of ORCEL for the treatment of donor site wounds. A donor site wound is created in an area of the patient's body from which the patient's skin was taken to cover a wound at another part of such patient's body. In 2001, the FDA also granted our application for the commercial sale of the fresh form of ORCEL for use on patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa undergoing hand reconstruction, as well as to treat the donor site wounds created during the surgery. Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is a condition in which a newborn infant's skin instantly blisters and can peel off at the slightest touch and leave painful ulcerations and permanent scarring resulting in deformity of the hands and feet.

From December 2001 through December 2002, our gross revenues from the sale of ORCEL, using a small contracted sales force, were $265,665. We discontinued our sales efforts and the manufacture of fresh ORCEL for commercial sale preferring to use our limited financial resources for the completion of our clinical trial for the use of cryopreserved ORCEL in the treatment of venous stasis ulcers. Based on published information we believe that the use of ORCEL for the treatment of patients suffering from venous stasis ulcers, and of patients suffering from diabetic foot ulcers, each represents a significantly larger potential market than the use of ORCEL for the treatment of donor site wounds or epidermolysis bullosa.

We completed a pivotal clinical trial for the use of ORCEL in its cryopreserved form for the treatment of venous stasis ulcers. Venous stasis ulcers are open lesions on the legs which result from the poor circulation of the blood returning from the legs to the heart. In February 2004, we filed with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) our application for pre-market approval (PMA) to market ORCEL for the treatment of venous stasis ulcers. In the process of reviewing our application the FDA requested clarification of the various information provided by us. After a number of meetings we had with the FDA’s staff and additional submissions we made to the FDA, on April 25, 2005 the FDA advised us that although our cryopreserved ORCEL showed promise for the effective treatment of venous stasis ulcers, additional clinical data would be required to demonstrate reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of cryopreserved ORCEL in treating patients with venous stasis ulcers before the FDA would clear ORCEL for commercial sales for such treatments. The clinical data from the pivotal trial of 136 patients submitted to the FDA showed that in 60 patients who had typical venous ulcers (defined as those ulcers with partial or full-thickness skin tissue damage, in which the wound base is visible and the ulcer extends through the dermis but not into the subcutaneous tissue to fascia, muscle or bone), 59% of the ORCEL treated patients achieved wound closure versus 36% of the patients who received the standard of care treatment. The FDA agreed that data of these 60 patients would be combined with that of the 60 patients to be enrolled in a confirmatory clinical trial and the combined results would be analyzed using Bayesian statistics. We obtained FDA approval for our confirmatory trial protocol in mid July 2005 and began the confirmatory trial in mid August 2005. In November 2006, we completed the confirmatory trial designed to confirm the superiority of cryopreserved ORCEL over the standard of care in the treatment of difficult-to-heal venous leg ulcers. On February 26, 2007, we announced that we had initiated the filing of the supplement to our PMA application with the FDA requesting clearance from the FDA to market our tissue engineered product, ORCEL, for the treatment of venous leg ulcers by submitting to the FDA the Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) section of the application. We hope to file the clinical section of the application, which will report the combined results of our two clinical trials, in October 2007. Such clinical section will report the results showing the effectiveness of our ORCEL product treating venous stasis ulcers as compared with the effectiveness of the current standard of care, the safety of using our product and the labeling we propose to use for our ORCEL product. The filings of these two sections are expected to be amendments to our PMA application filed in February 2004.

In July 2006, we submitted a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) supplement to the FDA to obtain marketing approval for use of cryopreserved ORCEL in the treatment of Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB), the most severe type of Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). RDEB is a devastating congenital skin disorder characterized by painful ulcers and widespread, permanent scarring resulting in the deformity of hands and feet. As a result, many RDEB patients require surgeries to allow greater use of their extremities resulting in need for replacement skin. In October 2006, we received a letter from the FDA informing us that the HDE has been approved pending an FDA audit of the manufacturing facility and quality systems at the facility where our ORCEL product will be manufactured. Since we are now close to submitting the PMA for venous stasis ulcers we expect the FDA to inspect the Lonza manufacturing facility we expect to use to produce ORCEL as part of the PMA approval process.

We have deferred conducting a pivotal clinical trial for the use of ORCEL in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers until after FDA determination of whether we may make commercial sales of cryopreserved ORCEL to treat venous stasis ulcers. We completed a pilot clinical trial for the use of ORCEL, in its fresh, not cryopreserved, form in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in the latter part of 2001. The results of that clinical trial showed a 75% improvement over the standard of care as well as a daily healing rate that was twice as fast as the standard of care, for those patients treated with ORCEL. On January 6, 2005, we submitted a modified protocol to the FDA for the conduct of a clinical trial of cryopreserved ORCEL to treat diabetic foot ulcers. In February 2005, the FDA completed a review of our modified protocol and gave us permission to initiate a pivotal trial evaluating cryopreserved ORCEL in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. If we have sufficient funds, we expect to initiate patient enrollment for the diabetic foot ulcers pivotal clinical trial shortly after receiving FDA clearance for commercial sales of ORCEL in the treatment of venous stasis ulcers. We expect that the diabetic foot ulcers clinical trial will be conducted at up to 25 clinical centers and involve up to approximately 200 patients.

We have a Cell Therapy Manufacturing Agreement with Lonza Walkersville, Inc (successor by acquisition of Cambrex Bio Science Walkersville, Inc.), a subsidiary of Lonza Corporation (Lonza), for Lonza to produce ORCEL for us in Lonza’s production facilities in Walkersville, Maryland. Lonza is experienced in producing cell based medical products such as ORCEL. Having Lonza produce ORCEL for us alleviated the need for us to build and equip our own production and distribution facility, thus avoiding a large capital outlay, and we believe is otherwise more cost effective for us. We have also entered into a Sales Agency Agreement with Lonza for Lonza to be the exclusive distributor of ORCEL in the United States, Canada and Mexico, although such agreement is currently under negotiation due to changes in ownership at Lonza in 2007 - see “Sales and Marketing” subheading which follows. We believe that our production and sales agreements will enable us to begin commercial sales of ORCEL in the United States shortly after, and if, we get clearance from the FDA to begin commercial sales of cryopreserved ORCEL for the treatment of venous stasis ulcers.

We have had discussions with Lonza with respect to a potential reduction of our monthly production suite costs and other modifications of our cell therapy manufacturing agreement as well as cancelling our sales agency agreement.

While our immediate focus continues to be the commercialization of our core technology for chronic wounds and wound management, we continue to look at opportunities in which we can leverage our cell culturing biomaterials and regulatory knowledge and expertise to broaden our potential sources of revenue.

Acquisition Of Hapto Biotech, Inc.

In October 2004 we entered into a collaboration agreement with Hapto Biotech Inc. (Hapto). Hapto was a privately-held company involved in the field of tissue engineering focused on the development of two proprietary fibrin derived platform technologies: Fibrin Micro Beads (FMBs) and Fibrin based peptides (Haptides), which have demonstrated the ability to optimize the recovery, potential delivery and therapeutic value of adult stem cells. Hapto’s research indicates that FMBs have the ability to efficiently recover adult stem cells from mixed cell populations, as well as allow for their growth, proliferation and potential reimplantation into the patient. Hapto’s research also indicates that Haptides have the ability to enhance cell attraction and attachment, as well as effect cellular internalization of macromolecules and nanoparticles, allowing for the potential development of products for the stem cell, tissue regeneration and tissue augmentation, gene therapy and drug delivery markets. The objective of the collaboration entered into in October 2004 was to combine our proprietary collagen biomaterial and know how with Haptides to develop a noncellular peptide based collagen biomaterial which could promote the attraction and attachment of healthy cells within the patient’s body in regenerating new tissue or repairing wounds. The collaboration’s pre-clinical animal studies with this biomaterial showed promising results. Based on these promising results and the potential of the FMB’s technology, on April 14, 2006, we acquired Hapto with all its fibrin based technology and intellectual property after we received commitments for over $6,000,000 from a private placement sale of our equity securities. The receipt of such gross proceeds was a condition for the closing of our acquisition of Hapto. For such acquisition we issued to the Hapto shareholders a total of 2,031,119 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 200,000 shares at $4.50 per share. The investment banking firm of Rodman & Renshaw, LLC served as our advisor for this acquisition. On April 17, 2006, we completed that private placement sale of our equity securities for aggregate proceeds of $6,176,000.

Research for Hapto’s FMBs and Haptide technologies was conducted at Hadassah Hospital facilities in Jerusalem, Israel, pursuant to an agreement between our Hapto subsidiary and Hadasit Medical Research Services & Development Limited, an Israeli company. Under that agreement Hadasit provided the facilities where the research is conducted as well as the services of one of the two senior scientists who have developed the two Hapto technologies. Hadasit charged us a monthly fee and other charges for the use of such facilities and the services of that one scientist. Our payments had been in arrears due to our lack of funds, and such agreement was cancelled as of March 2007. We may use these services going forward.

Hapto has not conducted any human clinical trials to determine the safety and effectiveness in using FMBs or Haptides to treat human medical conditions. Hapto has performed research on the potential use of FMBs and Haptides in animal tests and in vitro testing and this data has been published. Hapto’s research is conducted in Israel.

We believe that our experience and knowledge in the areas of cell biology, biomaterials and tissue regeneration provide a platform from which we can effectively expand our focus to include the development of stem cell and regenerative medicine products. In anticipation of receiving FDA approval during the next twelve months to begin marketing our ORCEL product for the treatment of venous leg ulcers, we believe we should identify our future growth opportunities. Adding Hapto’s technologies to our product and technology puts us in the growing field of stem cells and regenerative medicine. We hope to pursue the development of these technologies through licensing or other strategic business opportunities. We have not yet entered into any such licensing or other strategic business arrangements.

ORCEL

ORCEL is produced from cells derived from infant foreskins obtained during routine circumcisions. The immature, neonatal cells are highly reproductive and provide enhanced proliferation and rapid remodeling of the human skin. We separate the epidermis from the dermis and treat each of these layers to release individual keratinocyte (epidermal) and fibroblast (dermal) cells, which are the primary cellular components of human skin. We grow the fibroblast and keratinocyte cells in cultures in large quantities, then freeze and store them as a cell bank, ready for use. Prior to the use of each cell line, we conduct extensive testing and screening in accordance with current FDA guidelines to ensure that the cells are free of presence of bacterial contaminants, viruses, pathogens, tumorigenicity or other transmittable diseases. We then apply the dermal fibroblast cells to a proprietary, cross-linked bovine collagen sponge to form the dermal layer matrix and we grow the epidermal keratinocyte cells on a separate non-porous layer of collagen. We then incubate and supply this composite matrix with the proper nutrients to allow the cells to multiply and for the fibroblasts to permeate inside and anchor to the porous collagen sponge. The top layers of keratinocyte cells and bottom layers of fibroblast cells in the collagen matrix, together constitute our proprietary ORCEL.

Dr. Mark Eisenberg, a physician in Sydney, Australia, developed our technology. Dr. Eisenberg was a director and one of our founders. He has been involved in biochemical and clinical research at the University of New South Wales in Australia for over twenty-five years, focusing primarily on treating the symptoms of epidermolysis bullosa. In 1987, through his work on epidermolysis bullosa, Dr. Eisenberg first succeeded in growing epidermal layers of human skin, which he successfully applied as an allograft on an epidermolysis bullosa patient. An allograft is a transplant other than with the patient's own skin. Dr. Eisenberg continued his research which eventually led to the development of ORCEL: a tissue-engineered dressing which consists of both the dermal and epidermal layers.

Government Regulation

We are subject to extensive government regulation. Products for human treatment are subject to rigorous pre-clinical and clinical testing procedures as a condition for clearance by the FDA and by similar authorities in foreign countries prior to commercial sale. As previously mentioned, we have completed the confirmatory clinical trial to evaluate ORCEL for treatment of venous stasis ulcers. However, it is not possible for us to determine whether the results from our human clinical trial will be sufficient to obtain FDA clearance for commercial sale of our ORCEL product to treat venous stasis ulcers.

The FDA Clearance Process

Pursuant to the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act and regulations promulgated thereunder, the FDA regulates the manufacture, distribution and promotion of medical devices in the United States. ORCEL is considered by the FDA to be a medical device and is therefore regulated by the Center for Device and Radiological Health. We must receive pre-market clearance from the FDA for any commercial sale of our product. Before receiving such clearance we must provide proof in human clinical trials of the safety and efficacy of ORCEL. Pre-market clearance is a lengthy and expensive process.

The steps in the FDA clearance process may be summarized as follows:

 
·
The sponsor (such as Ortec) prepares a protocol which sets forth in detail all aspects of the proposed clinical trial. The information includes the number of patients to be treated, the number of sites (hospitals and clinics) at which the patients in the clinical trial are to be treated, the then current standard of care with which the patients in the control group (in comparable medical condition as the patients to be treated with the medical device which is the subject of the clinical trial) are to be treated, the treatment frequency and the statistical plan that will be utilized to analyze the data derived from the clinical trial.

 
·
The protocol also has to establish the safety of the use of the medical device to be studied in the trial. Safety can be established in a number of ways. One is by showing the results of use of the medical device in treatments in other clinical trials, in hospital approved treatments elsewhere in the world or by use in animal clinical trials and/or in an FDA cleared "pilot" clinical trial in which far fewer patients are treated than in the definitive "pivotal" clinical trial.

 
·
The sponsor submits the protocol to the FDA.

 
·
The FDA staff gives their comments, objections and requirements on the submitted protocol.

 
·
The sponsor redrafts the protocol and otherwise responds to the FDA's comments.

 
·
The sponsor recruits hospitals and clinics as sites at which the patients in the study are to be treated. Such recruitment begins with or prior to the preparation of the protocol.

 
·
After the FDA clears the protocol the trial sites and the sponsor recruit the patients to be treated in the study.

 
·
The patients are treated at not more than the number of trial sites specified in the protocol. One half of the patients are treated with the medical device being studied and the other half, the control group, with the then current standard of care for treatment of the same medical condition.

 
·
The sites follow up each treated patient (for the period and the number of times provided in the FDA cleared protocol) to determine the efficacy of the medical device being studied in the treatment of the medical condition identified in the protocol, as against the efficacy of the standard of care used in the study.

 
·
The sponsor assists and monitors compliance with the protocol's requirements in each site's conduct of the study.

 
·
The sponsor collects the clinical data of each patient's treatment and progress from the sites.

 
·
The data is analyzed by or for the sponsor. The sponsor prepares a report of the results of the study and submits the report and the supporting clinical data to the FDA staff reviewers for their comments and questions.
 
18

 
 
·
After staff review of the submitted data, the sponsor responds to the FDA's comments and questions.

 
·
After completion of its review, the FDA staff may submit a report of the results of the trial to an advisory medical panel consisting of experts in the treatment of the medical condition which the studied medical device is intended to treat.

 
·
The panel submits its advice as to the efficacy and safety of the device to the FDA official who is the Director of the FDA Division to which the protocol and the results of the pivotal trial were originally submitted. If no advisory panel is required, the FDA staff reviewers submit their recommendation directly to the Division Director.

 
·
The FDA Division Director is the FDA official who determines whether or not to clear the medical device for commercial sale for treatment of that medical condition. The sponsor may appeal a Division Director's negative determination through appeal levels within the FDA, up to the Commissioner of the FDA.

 
·
The FDA may require an audit of the manufacturing facility.

 
·
After FDA clearance the sponsor must submit all labeling information for the medical device to the FDA to make certain that the claims on the label accurately state the uses for which the medical device has been cleared.

Regulatory Strategies

We employ consultants with extensive knowledge in strategic regulatory and clinical trial planning to support our product development efforts through every stage of the development and FDA clearance process. We also employ persons with extensive knowledge and experience in the marketing and sale of new FDA approved products for treatment of many medical conditions, including experience in securing approval of insurance companies to reimburse their insured patients for the cost of the use of new medical products used in medical treatments. We have secured approval for Medicare payments for the use of ORCEL under Medicare's Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) for approximately $1,100 per unit of ORCEL. This approval covers the use of ORCEL in hospitals, other hospital-owned facilities and for hospital outpatient treatment. However, we will still need to secure the approval of Medicare designated contractors in different parts of the country for approval of the different medical conditions for which Medicare reimbursement of the use of ORCEL will be made. We can only secure that further approval after we have received FDA clearance for use of ORCEL for the treatment of that medical condition. We will also seek to secure approval for private health insurance providers' reimbursement for the cost of ORCEL. We believe that securing Medicare reimbursement approval for ORCEL will be of significant assistance to us in securing reimbursement approval by private health insurance companies.

Sales and Marketing

As noted above, our business strategy is to combine our efforts with Lonza for the production of ORCEL. We had previously entered into a sales agency agreement with Lonza, providing for Lonza to be the exclusive sales agent in the United States for our ORCEL product or any other future bi-layered cellular matrix product of ours for the treatment of venous stasis ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers or any other therapeutic indication for dermatological chronic or acute wound healing.

.Changes in ownership in 2007 at Lonza have resulted in a mutual reconsideration of our sales agency agreement. We are currently negotiating with Lonza revisions to our manufacturing agreement and the amicable cancellation of our sales agency agreement. If our sales agency agreement with Lonza is terminated, we will have to secure a new agreement for the marketing and distribution of ORCEL after, and if, we receive Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for the commercial sales of ORCEL to treat venous stasis ulcers, with another distributor of medical devices and products. We have not conducted negotiations with another distributor until we conclude our current negotiations with Lonza for termination of our sales agency agreement with it.

Production and Supply

On October 29, 2003, we entered into an agreement commencing November 1, 2003, with Lonza for Lonza to manufacture ORCEL in its Walkersville, Maryland facilities. The Lonza manufacturing facility is required to meet FDA's good manufacturing processes standards. Lonza is experienced in the manufacture of cell-based medical products such as our ORCEL. On October 18, 2004, in connection with our Sales Agency Agreement with Lonza, we amended certain terms of this manufacturing agreement.
 
19


Our manufacturing agreement with Lonza requires us to currently pay Lonza $136,591 per month (although, in agreement with Lonza, such payments have been temporarily suspended since January 2007), or approximately $1,639,091 per year, for the use of a Lonza production facility in Walkersville, Maryland. The payments we will make to Lonza will increase to $175,000 monthly, or $2,100,000 per year, if we require Lonza to build us a larger production facility to meet our requirements for the production of ORCEL. We believe that further refinements in our manufacturing process may not only reduce the cost of our ORCEL product but may alleviate the need for building a larger production facility in the future. Such annual payments include some services and overhead expenses provided and paid for by Lonza. These annual payments we are required to make increase 3% per annum on the anniversary of the commencement date. We are required to pay 50% of the cost of the construction of that larger production facility up to a maximum payment by us of $1,000,000 (up to $2,500,000 if we terminate our Sales Agency Agreement with Lonza). However, the amount we contribute to the construction of that larger facility will be repaid to us by credits against a portion of the future annual payments and of certain other payments we are required to make to Lonza after the larger facility is in use. We are also required to pay specified hourly charges for the Lonza employees engaged in the production of ORCEL as well as certain other charges. After construction of the larger production facility we are required to acquire from Lonza virtually all of our requirements for ORCEL that Lonza can produce. Prior to our election to have Lonza construct the larger production facility for us, either we or Lonza may terminate the agreement on six months notice by us and twelve months notice by Lonza. If we elect to have Lonza construct the larger production facility for us the agreement will continue for six years after the larger production facility is constructed. However, even after such construction we and Lonza may elect to scale down over the following three years the portion of our requirements for ORCEL that Lonza will produce for us. We may elect the scale down period at any time after one year after the larger production facility is constructed and in operation in which event there are additional payments we must make to Lonza. If we elect the scale down period after one year we must pay Lonza $2,625,000 and if we elect the scale down period after two years we must pay Lonza $1,050,000. If we elect the scale down periods in either of those two years, we forfeit our right to receive any further credits (up to the amount of our contribution to the cost of the larger production facility) against payments we are thereafter required to make to Lonza. Either Lonza or we may elect the scale down period later than three years after that facility is in operation and neither of us will be required to make any additional payments to the other because of that election.

If after the construction of the larger production facility, we breach a material term of our agreement with Lonza, or elect to terminate the agreement, we will have to pay Lonza the following amounts:


If termination occurs after the following
anniversary of the construction of the
larger production facility
 
Amount
of
Payment
 
6 years
 
$
1,050,000
 
5 years, but less than 6 years
   
1,575,000

2 years, but less than 3 years
   
5,250,000
 
1 year, but less than 2 years
   
6,300,000
 

In addition, upon such termination we will forfeit our right to receive any further credits (up to the amount of our contribution to the cost of the larger production facility) against future payments we may have to make to Lonza.

The raw materials that we use to manufacture ORCEL come from a limited number of suppliers. We currently purchase collagen corium, a component of the collagen matrix in ORCEL, from a single supplier but we have identified a secondary source of supply for that item. The collagen matrix used in ORCEL is manufactured for us to our specifications by another supplier, and we are in the process of identifying a secondary source for collagen matrix also. We have agreed with the manufacturer of the collagen matrix we use to produce ORCEL that subsequent to a written notification from the FDA allowing us to sell ORCEL commercially for treatment of venous stasis ulcers we will provide such supplier projections for one or more subsequent quarters and the parties will be obligated to purchase and sell those projected amounts. While there may be other sources from where we could purchase such materials, a disruption in the supply of any of these materials would have a significant negative impact on our ability to manufacture and sell ORCEL and in any event would likely cause us delays and additional expenses in the manufacturing of ORCEL.

Competition

We are aware of several companies that are actively engaged in the research and development of products for the repair and regeneration of skin. There are currently three primary and distinct approaches to the repair and regeneration of skin: the acellular (no cell) approach, including the use of cadaver based products; the cell-based unilayered (epidermal or dermal cell) approach, and the cell-based bi-layered (epidermal and dermal cell) approach. A cell-based approach makes use of human donor cells. The approach we believe to be the most advanced and effective is the cell-based bi-layered approach. The production of ORCEL consists of a top layer of epidermal cells and a bottom layer of dermal cells in a collagen matrix, that is a bi-layered approach utilizing donor cells.
 
20


There are many products available for treating skin wounds. However, as already noted, we believe that the use of donor cells delivered to the wound on a matrix is the most effective process for healing skin wounds and in particular hard to heal skin wounds. Therefore, we believe that only products using donor cells placed on a matrix will directly compete with ORCEL.

We consider the Apligraf product manufactured by Organogenesis, Inc. and Dermagraft product manufactured by Advanced BioHealing, Inc. (ABH) to be our principal competitors. Apligraf is an FDA cleared product using human dermal and epidermal cells (bi-layered) placed on a collagen matrix, for the treatment of both venous stasis and diabetic foot ulcers. The Apligraf product is not cryopreserved and has a reported shelf life of 10 days. The Dermagraft product which is cryopreserved uses human derived dermal cells only (unilayered) placed on a polyglactin matrix and is FDA cleared to treat diabetic foot ulcers. Dermagraft is not approved for use in treatment of venous leg ulcers. The Dermagraft product was purchased from Smith & Nephew by ABH in June 2006 and is back on the U.S. market. Both Organogenesis, Inc. and ABH are private companies that market and sell their own products. Due to their private company status, limited financial information is available regarding these companies. However we believe based on the information that is available, that both companies have greater resources than we do.

The biomedical field is continually undergoing rapid and significant technological changes. Other companies may succeed in developing other products that are more effective than ORCEL. If such new products are accepted by the medical community, or if those products receive FDA approval for treatment of venous stasis and diabetic foot ulcers before ORCEL does, or if other companies develop products that are more effective than ORCEL, any such developments could impede our ability to continue our operations.

Patents and Proprietary Rights

In connection with ORCEL, we have four United States patents, one European patent covering thirteen countries, and ten patents in ten other countries, issued. We also have one United States and eight international patent applications (filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty) pending for our technology and processes:

 
·
The first of these patents covers the structure of ORCEL. It is an epidermal layer of cultured epidermal cells and a bilayered collagen sponge structure that includes a layer of highly purified, non-porous collagen on top of a porous cross-linked collagen sponge containing cultured dermal cells. This patent expires on February 1, 2011. This is also the technology covered by the European and other foreign patents which have been issued to us. These foreign patents also expire in 2011.

 
·
Another United States patent provides for the extension of the use of the collagen sponge structure described above which may contain cells other than epidermal and/or dermal cells, such as cells for regenerating such organs and tissues as heart muscle, blood vessels, ligaments, cartilage and nerves. This patent also expires on February 1, 2011. We have not performed, nor are we planning to perform in the near future, any clinical trial using our platform technology for use of donor cells other than epidermal and dermal cells.

 
·
Another United States patent covers a manufacturing process which, when implemented, can reduce the cost of producing ORCEL. This new manufacturing process creates an improvement over our collagen structures described above in that a third layer of collagen which is hospitable to cell growth is deposited on the non-porous collagen layer. This patent expires on December 28, 2020.

 
·
Our fourth United States patent covers a process for the cryopreservation of ORCEL. This patent expires on December 26, 2021.

In connection with our recent acquisition of Hapto the FMBs and Haptidesare covered under various patent applications.

FMB’s are derived from fibrinogen through a specific chemical process and provide a matrix for cell growth and transfer. The FMB technology is covered by five US patents and one Australian patent. There are also corresponding European, Japanese and Canadian applications in the prosecution phase.

 
·
The first USA patent, entitled “FMBs Prepared from Fibrinogen, Thrombin and Factor VIII,” covers a method for producing FMBs. This patent expires on September 19, 2017.
 
21

 
 
·
The second USA patent, entitled “FMBs Prepared from Fibrinogen, Thrombin and Factor VIII for Binding Cells”, covers FMBs prepared by a certain method, a composition including cells that are bound to such FMBs and a method for culturing cells on such FMBs. This patent expires on September 15, 2018.

 
·
The third USA patent, entitled “FMBs and Uses thereof”, covers a method for separating cells that bind to FMBs from cell culture, a method for transplanting such cells into a patient and a method for engineering human tissues. This patent expires on October 25, 2022. A corresponding patent has been granted in Australia and in 2006 we were notified by the European patent office that they intended to grant the patent. In January 2007, we began the process for this patent to issue in England, Germany and France. Corresponding applications are also pending in Canada and Japan.

 
·
The fourth USA patent, entitled “Fibrin Nanoparticles and Uses thereof”, covers isolated fibrin nanoparticles having a mean diameter of 200-2000 nm and a method for preparing the fibrin nanoparticles. This patent expires on August 30, 2021. Corresponding applications are pending in Canada, Europe, Japan and Australia. There is also a USA pending application directed to a composition comprising fibrin nanoparticles and an agent.

 
·
The Fifth USA patent, entitled “Fibrin Applicator Pistols”, covers an applicator that can simultaneously deliver two component solutions, fibrinogen and thrombin at precise ratios and provides a method for delivering either as a spray or endoscopically FMB suspended within one of the solutions. This patent expires on March 27, 2022.

Haptidesare synthetic peptides that mimic the mechanism of cell attachment to fibrinogen. These haptotactic (cell binding) peptides can be coated to scaffolds and devices and could also be used for drug delivery and for gene therapy. In Australia, one patent has been granted and another patent has been allowed. In the USA, during 2006 two USA patents were granted covering the Haptide technology and two patent applications are in the prosecution phase in the USA, Europe and PCT countries.

 
·
The first family of applications, entitled “Novel peptides”, covers a group of novel peptides homologous to a portion of Fibrinogen, which retains certain desired properties of the entire fibrinogen molecule including cell adhesive effects. One patent has been granted in Australia and in November 2006 we were notified by the European patent office that they intended to grant the patent.
Corresponding applications are pending in Canada, Israel and Japan.

 
·
In October 2006 a patent entitled “Haptotactic Peptides” was granted and is set to expire on January 2020. It covers a novel peptide homologous to a specific portion of Fibrinogen and such peptide retains certain properties of the fibrinogen molecule including cell adhesive effects. 

 
·
There is another family of patent applications, entitled “Novel Haptotactic Peptides”, that discloses novel peptide sequences homologous to the known fibrinogen derived haptotactic peptides Cβ and CαE. The novel peptides are derived from proteins related to fibrinogen and which possess cell attraction activity. One patent has been allowed in Australia and in December 2006 a USA patent entitled “Haptotactic Peptides” was granted and is set to expire on January 2021. We intend to file a continuation application in the USA to broaden the claims. Patent applications covering these peptides are also pending in Canada, Europe, Israel and Japan.

 
·
Another family of patents, entitled “Liposomal Compositions Comprising Haptotactic Peptides and uses thereof “ have been filed. These patents relate to liposomal compositions comprising peptides that elicit cell attachment responses and are internalized by cells and that are capable of enhancing the uptake of liposomes by cells. This invention can be used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic compositions. These patent applications are pending in the USA, Europe, Israel and Japan.

Despite such patents our success will depend, in part, on our ability to maintain trade secret protection for our technology.

We successfully defended challenges by Organogenesis to our United States patent, and by Advanced Tissue Sciences to our European patent for our ORCEL technology, in the respective patent offices where those patents were issued. However, those successful defenses do not preclude future challenges in court. We do not know if any of the other patents issued to us will be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Patents and patent applications in the United States may be subject to interference proceedings brought by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or to opposition proceedings initiated in a foreign patent office by third parties or to re-examination proceedings in the United States. We might incur significant costs defending such proceedings and we might not be successful. Several of our competitors have been granted patents, including those granted to Organogenesis and Advanced Tissue Sciences, Inc., relating to their particular skin technologies which also utilize donor cells on a collagen sponge matrix. To that extent they may be considered similar to our ORCEL technology.
 
22


The validity and breadth of claims in medical technology patents involves complex legal and factual questions and, therefore, are highly uncertain. We do not know if any pending patent applications or any future patent application will issue as patents, that the scope of any patent protection obtained will be enough to exclude competitors or that any of our patents will be held valid if subsequently challenged in court proceedings. We do not know if others have or will develop similar products, duplicate any of our products or design around any of our patents issued or that may be issued in the future. In addition, whether or not patents are issued to us, others may hold or receive patents which contain claims having a scope that covers aspects of our products or processes.
 
Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries; clinical trial costs, amounts paid to Lonza for our production suite and other costs under our cell therapy manufacturing agreement, facility costs and laboratory supplies. Research and development expenses were $2,054,635 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $4,408,385 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Compliance with Environmental Regulations
 
We are subject to regulation under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Environmental Protection Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Controlled Substances Act and other present and potential future federal, state or local regulations. Our research and development programs involve the controlled use of hazardous materials, chemicals, biological materials and various radioactive compounds.
 
Although we believe that our operations comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and regulations, the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials cannot be completely eliminated. In the event of such an accident, we could be held liable for any damages that result, and the extent of that liability could exceed our resources. Our compliance with these laws and regulations did not, and is not expected to, have a material effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

Employees

We presently employ 23 people on a full-time basis, including two executive officers in our offices and facilities in New York City. We presently employ one person on a full time basis in Israel.

Description of Property

Pursuant to a lease expiring December 31, 2007, we occupy an aggregate of approximately 14,320 square feet of space in Columbia University's Audubon Biomedical Science and Technology Park in New York City, for laboratory and office space. We use our laboratories for assay development, wound healing research, biomaterial development, bioprocess development, histology, quality assurance testing and for two clean rooms where we produce ORCEL. Rent for the entire 14,320 square feet is $60,860 per month. In September 2007, we gave back 1,450 square feet for a reduction in our rent to $58,698 per month.

PLAN OF OPERATION

We are a development stage enterprise which had no operating revenue prior to December 2001. During 2001, we received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the use of the fresh form of our ORCEL product for the treatment of patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and for donor sites in burn patients. We began marketing and selling our product for use on patients with one of these indications using a contract sales organization. Our sales and marketing efforts were active only for a brief period and accordingly our revenues were not significant. We terminated our sales efforts and elected to focus our attention on completing development of a cryopreserved form of our product for treatment of chronic wounds affecting larger patient populations. As a result, we completed a clinical trial during 2003 for the use of the cryopreserved form of ORCEL to treat venous stasis ulcers and filed an application for pre-market approval (PMA) with the FDA in February 2004. In a letter dated April 25, 2005, the FDA determined that additional data would be necessary to confirm cryopreserved ORCEL’s effectiveness and safety treating venous stasis ulcers, although the FDA concluded that cryopreserved ORCEL showed promise for the effective treatment of venous stasis ulcers. The clinical data from the pivotal trial of 136 patients submitted to the FDA showed that in 60 patients who had typical venous ulcers (defined as those ulcers with partial or full-thickness skin tissue damage, in which the wound base is visible and the ulcer extends through the dermis but not into the subcutaneous tissue to fascia, muscle or bone), 59% of the ORCEL treated patients achieved wound closure versus 36% of the patients who received the standard of care treatment. The FDA agreed that data of these 60 patients would be combined with that of the 60 patients to be enrolled in a confirmatory clinical trial and the combined results would be analyzed using Bayesian statistics. We obtained FDA approval for our confirmatory trial protocol in mid July 2005 and began the confirmatory trial in mid August 2005. In November 2006, we completed the confirmatory trial designed to confirm the superiority of cryopreserved ORCEL over the standard of care in the treatment of difficult-to-heal venous leg ulcers. On February 26, 2007, we announced that we had initiated the filing of the supplement to our PMA application with the FDA requesting clearance from the FDA to market our tissue engineered product, ORCEL, for the treatment of venous leg ulcers by submitting to the FDA the Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) section of the application. We hope to file the clinical section of the application, which will report the combined results of our two clinical trials, in October 2007. Such clinical section will report the results showing the effectiveness of our ORCEL product treating venous stasis ulcers as compared with the effectiveness of the current standard of care, the safety of using our product and the labeling we propose to use for our ORCEL product. The filings of these two sections are expected to be amendments to our PMA application filed in February 2004.

In July 2006, we submitted a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) supplement to the FDA to obtain marketing approval for use of cryopreserved ORCEL in the treatment of Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB), one of the most severe types of Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). RDEB is a devastating congenital skin disorder characterized by painful ulcers and widespread, permanent scarring resulting in the deformity of hands and feet. As a result, many RDEB patients require surgeries to allow greater use of their extremities resulting in the need for replacement skin. In October 2006, we received a letter from the FDA informing us that the HDE has been approved pending an FDA audit of the manufacturing facility and quality systems at the facility where our ORCEL product will be manufactured. Since we are now close to submitting the PMA for venous stasis ulcers we expect the FDA to inspect Lonza’s manufacturing facility where we expect to produce ORCEL as part of the PMA clearance process application to make commercial sales of ORCEL for treatment of venous stasis ulcers.

We have deferred conducting a pivotal clinical trial for the use of ORCEL in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers until after FDA determination of whether we may make commercial sales of cryopreserved ORCEL to treat venous stasis ulcers. We completed a pilot clinical trial for the use of ORCEL, in its fresh, not cryopreserved, form in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in the latter part of 2001. The results of that clinical trial showed a 75% improvement over the standard of care as well as a daily healing rate that was twice as fast as the standard of care, for those patients treated with ORCEL. On January 6, 2005, we submitted a modified protocol to the FDA for the conduct of a clinical trial of cryopreserved ORCEL to treat diabetic foot ulcers. In February 2005, the FDA completed a review of our modified protocol and gave us permission to initiate a pivotal trial evaluating cryopreserved ORCEL in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. If we have sufficient funds, we expect to initiate patient enrollment for the diabetic foot ulcer pivotal clinical trial shortly after receiving FDA clearance for commercial sales of ORCEL in the treatment of venous stasis ulcers. We expect that the diabetic foot ulcer clinical trial will be conducted at up to 25 clinical centers and involve approximately 200 patients.

In the past twelve months, in anticipation of commercial sales of ORCEL, our operations were focused towards finalizing the ORCEL production process at Ortec and transferring the commercial manufacturing operations to Lonza. During this time we enhanced and validated several cell line and ORCEL production process improvements at Ortec allowing for the transfer of the production process to and full validation at Lonza. Work was also ongoing in the area of process development to improve the consistency, increase the scale and reduce the cost of producing ORCEL. To increase scale and reduce the cost of producing ORCEL, we developed a cell factory process to provide for the ability to accomplish larger scale cell expansion which will facilitate the production of additional cell inventory. Development efforts were also ongoing to improve the process, and reduce the cost of producing our collagen sponge matrix, which included developing a prelaminated sponge and finding alternative sources of supply of bovine hide collagen and producing various grades of sponges that could provide new business opportunities. We validated several assay methods used to qualify incoming raw materials and to monitor both the ORCEL production process and the final ORCEL product, all required by the FDA. Other manufacturing cost reduction projects may be delayed, or may be accomplished in collaboration with Lonza. Preliminary discussions with Lonza have taken place with respect to the transfer of our cell expansion processes as well as co-development of other cost reduction and increased production projects. We will negotiate costs associated with these projects with Lonza.
 
24


The following is a listing of the projected development activities on which we expect to focus during the next twelve months:

 
·
Completion of all FDA required test method development and validation;
     
 
·
Completion of development of the cell factory process to increase cell line expansion capacity and reduce costs;
     
 
·
Completion of prelaminated sponge project;
     
 
·
Validation at Lonza of a process which doubles our ORCEL manufacturing capacity;
     
 
·
Transfer of the cell factory process to Lonza, and
     
 
·
Production and expansion of cell inventory for use in the commercialization of ORCEL.

Additionally we may:

 
·
Examine potential licensing opportunities for use of our collagen and fibrin-based biomaterials in other tissue engineering applications, and
     
 
·
Submit proposals to the appropriate agencies for the purpose of securing available research grants.

We may invest approximately $125,000 for equipment which will allow us to expand our collagen sponge manufacturing capacity.

We expect that the above projects will require our current level of staffing. We periodically review and adjust our staffing levels and operational expenses for maximum efficiency. Assuming a favorable outcome from the FDA in 2008 we believe our workforce should remain fairly constant. We recently made significant changes of our executive officers and in our overseas personnel.

Haptides 

We acquired the Haptides™ cell attachment technology in our April 2006 acquisition of Hapto Biotech. We believe that this technology, which is a synthetic version of fibrin-based natural human peptide sequences with superior cell attraction properties, is simple and inexpensive to manufacture; offers a good safety profile in that it is non-immunogenic, non-inflammatory and non-toxic; and has demonstrated preclinical validation of its ability to enhance cell attachment. Our initial application of the Haptides™ technology is to the active biomaterial collagen. Our findings have shown that Haptides™ modified collagen improved cell attachment and growth in vitro by 40-50%, and in vivo implantation studies have continued to show promising soft tissue augmentation results as well. The implanted sponge material attracts fibroblast cell infiltration with minimal associated inflammation.

We have executed material transfer agreements for technology evaluation and have begun preliminary discussions with companies focused on these markets to explore their interest in potentially partnering with us to structure co-development and licensing agreements for our Haptides™ technology platform.

We were notified by the U.S. patent office that the claims of our patent application “Novel Haptotactic Peptides” related to our Haptides™ technology platform, have been allowed. The patent incorporating these claims was issued in the last quarter of 2006. We are currently evaluating the opportunity for additional patent claims and filings around the Haptides™ technology.

Fibrin Microbeads

Also acquired in the acquisition of Hapto Biotech in April 2006, was our Fibrin Microbeads (FMB) technology. FMBs are cross-linked, heat-treated Fibrin beads that can be used to isolate matrix-dependent cells, including mesenchymal-type adult stem cells. We believe that our FMB technology represents valuable and unique intellectual property, with five U.S. patents issued and a notice of allowance recently received for a European patent, and that this is a technology which may have significant advantages over comparable technologies for adult stem cell isolation.
 
25


The FMB stem cell technology, we believe, is a flexible, comprehensive one-bead approach for adult stem cell therapy. FMB have the unique potential to provide the clinician the ability to isolate stem cells from multiple sources including blood, the least invasive tissue source which was previously not considered a viable source of a sufficient quantity of mesenchymal type stem cells for therapeutic application. FMB also have the flexibility to be used to grow stem cells and to deliver the stem cells therapeutically as an implant to the patient, either as an initial cell product or as an expanded cell product, or as a differentiated stem cell product. All the current autologus adult stem cell methods we are aware of do not have the ability to provide this comprehensive solution to adult stem cell therapy.

Since acquiring Hapto we completed certain aspects of a milestone driven plan evaluating the use of this novel stem cell technology in bone regeneration. A preclinical trial evaluating FMB for bone regeneration has recently been completed.

We have executed material transfer agreements for technology evaluation and have begun preliminary discussions with companies targeting the stem and progenitor cell markets to explore their interest in potentially partnering with us to structure co-development and licensing agreements for our FMB technology platform.

Liquidity Matters

As of June 30, 2007, we owed $2,574,908 to trade creditors of which 48% or $1,243,659 was owed to Lonza. Of the remaining payables of $1,331,249, payment of approximately $1,191,533 we owed to our trade creditors was past due.

While we have arranged for payment of some of our obligations over a period of time, and have to make other payments of past due obligations to our current and ongoing suppliers, our ability to make payments we have agreed to pay and to ensure continued receipt of needed supplies, and to continue reducing our past due obligations, will depend on our ability to secure needed financing or our ability to issue our equity securities in satisfaction of certain obligations.

We will need to secure additional financing for the approximately $630,000 of expenses we are currently incurring on a monthly basis. The amount of cash we consume each month fluctuates, depending, among other things, on whether we are incurring expenses for services provided by third party suppliers in connection with our clinical trial or contract manufacturing activities and what payments we have to make on our outstanding debt.

We hope to obtain additional funds through the sale of our securities in private placements, debt financing or other short-term loans. We may not be able to secure any future financing nor may we be able to reach the larger patient population markets of persons with venous stasis ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers, with funds that we may be able to raise. We are also likely to continue to encounter difficulties which are common to development stage companies, including unanticipated costs relating to development, delays in the testing of products, regulatory approval and compliance and competition.

Our capital funding requirements depend on numerous factors, including:

 
·
the progress and magnitude of our research and development programs;
     
 
·
the time involved in obtaining regulatory approvals for the commercial sale of our ORCEL product in its cryopreserved form to treat venous stasis ulcers and, later, diabetic foot ulcers;
     
 
·
the costs involved in filing and maintaining patent claims;
     
 
·
technological advances;
     
 
·
competitive and market conditions;
     
 
·
the successful implementation of the agreements we have entered into with Lonza for manufacturing and sales of our ORCEL product or if our sales agreement with Lonza is cancelled arranging for the marketing and sale of ORCEL with another distributor of medical devices;
     
 
·
our ability to establish and maintain other collaborative arrangements, and
     
 
·
the cost and effectiveness of commercialization activities and arrangements.

Unless we obtain additional financing we will not be able to continue to operate our business.

With respect to our cell therapy manufacturing agreement with Lonzato produce ORCEL for commercial distribution, we have initiated discussions to limit expenditures under such agreement primarily to those which are essential for obtaining regulatory approval. Together, we are working on process improvements that we expect will reduce the cost of producing ORCEL as we plan for the potential commercial sales of our product. In January 2007, Lonza agreed to temporarily suspend their $136,591 monthly charge for their production suite as provided in our manufacturing agreement, until such time as the suite is necessary to produce our ORCEL product, expected around the fourth quarter of 2007. We have begun preliminary discussions with Lonza with respect to a potential reduction of our monthly production suite costs and other modifications of our manufacturing agreement as well as changes to our sales agency agreement.

On June 18, 2007, we entered into the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement (Exchange Agreement) with Paul Royalty Fund (PRF), and PRF exchanged its interest in our future revenues, recorded as a $43,401,000 liability at said date, for 500 shares of our new Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (A-1 Preferred) and 500 shares of our new Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (A-2 Preferred), each share having a liquidation preference of $10,000. The stated values of the A-1 and A-2 Preferred can be converted to our common stock at conversion rates of $0.50 and $5.00 per common share, respectively, or an aggregate of 11,000,000 common shares on an as converted basis for both the A-1 and A-2 Preferred. Our earlier agreements with PRF were cancelled and PRF’s liens were therefore removed from our intellectual property. As a result of this transaction we recorded a gain of $35,527,695.

In three closings of sales of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, beginning June 18, 2007 and ending July 31, 2007, we sold an aggregate of 842.198 shares of A Preferred with warrants attached and received gross cash proceeds of $8,421,980. Of this amount, we immediately repaid $226,936 to bridge loan holders who did not wish to participate in the private placement, and paid our placement agent fees aggregating $1,132,098. As part of the first closing, holders of $2,701,500 of previously outstanding convertible bridge notes, the proceeds of which we used to finance our operations during the months from October 2006 to the first closing on June 18, 2007, exchanged their notes with $94,264 of interest, or $2,795,764, at 125% of their face value, or $3,494,705, for 349.470 shares of A Preferred with warrants attached. The total outstanding 1,191.668 shares of A Preferred can be converted into 23,833,360 shares of our common stock. We issued Series A warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,916,680 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share, Series M warrants to purchase an aggregate of 15,466,680 shares of our common stock at $0.50 per share, and Series M-1 warrants to also purchase an aggregate of 7,733,340 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share. Our placement agent received $1,132,098 (10% of the gross proceeds) and five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,156,670 shares of our common stock at $0.55 per share. In addition, it received a one year advisory agreement which provided an additional five-year warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.55 per share.

We anticipate that the above funds will last us through January 2008. We believe that at that time we will have already filed our PMA for commercial sales of ORCEL to treat venous stasis ulcers and will be awaiting word on approval from the FDA. Even assuming a positive initial response from the FDA in February 2008, we assume that we will have to raise additional funds at that time to continue our business operations.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the ownership of our common stock as of September 18, 2007 by: (i) each director, (ii) the Named Executive Officers; (iii) all executive officers and directors of the Company as a group; and (iv) all those known by us to be beneficial owners of more than five percent of our common stock. All shares of our common stock subject to options currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of September 18, 2007, are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of the person holding such options, but are not deemed to be outstanding for computing the percentage of ownership of any other person. This table is based upon information supplied by officers, directors and principal stockholders and Schedules 13D and 13G filed with the SEC. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to this table and subject to community property laws where applicable, we believe that each of the stockholders named in this table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated as beneficially owned. Applicable percentages are based on 11,152,203 shares outstanding on September 18, 2007, adjusted as required by rules promulgated by the SEC.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Obligation to Elect Directors 

The April 14, 2006 agreement whereby we acquired Hapto provides that if our shareholders do not elect two designees of the former shareholders of Hapto as directors of Ortec for the earlier of (i) the two years ending in April 2008, or (ii) until such time as the number of shares of our common stock acquired by the former shareholders of Hapto in our acquisition of Hapto amount to less than 5% of our common stock then outstanding, we will be required to issue an additional 116,667 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of Hapto for each such Hapto designee that is not elected as a director of Ortec. The former shareholders of Hapto have selected Raphael Hofstein and Andreas Vogler as their designees to serve as directors of Ortec.

Cancellation Agreements

In June 2007 we entered into agreements with Ron Lipstein, our former chief executive officer, and Steven Katz, our former chairman, in which we and they agreed to terminate agreements we had with them to pay them 2.99 times their average annual salaries for the last 5 years if we terminated their employment with us. Under the terms of those June 2007 agreements, we paid Mr. Lipstein $190,000 plus $20,000 for consulting services we would ask him to provide for six months ending in December 2007, and we paid Dr. Katz $40,000. We also agreed to pay to Mr. Lipstein $90,000 thirty days after, and a final payment of $190,000 ninety days after, and to pay Dr. Katz $45,000 thirty days after, and a final payment of $75,000 ninety days after we receive a letter in response to our Pre Market Approval (PMA) application to be filed with the FDA for commercial sales of our ORCEL to treat venous stasis ulcers, which are normally sent by the FDA to a sponsor of a clinical trial within 100 days after such sponsor files a PMA application for commercial sales of a drug or device. We also granted 5 year warrants to Messrs. Lipstein and Katz entitling Mr. Lipstein to purchase 2,382,022 shares, and Dr. Katz to purchase 2,328,001 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.55 per share. We are required to issue additional warrants on like terms to Messrs. Lipstein and Katz to purchase such number of shares of our common stock equal to 3½% of the shares of common stock (a) we sell, or are required to issue upon conversion or exercise of convertible securities or warrants we sell, to raise not more than $6,300,000 within the period ending 30 days after (and if) we publicly announce our receipt of written notice from the FDA granting us the right to make commercial sales of ORCEL for the treatment of venous stasis ulcer (“the FDA clearance letter”), and (b) we issue also within 30 days after (and if) we publicly announce our receipt of the FDA clearance letter to our trade and other creditors in satisfaction of the obligations we owe them, over and above the number of shares of our common stock, we issue to such creditors in that period in satisfaction of $3,000,000 of our obligations to them. Messrs. Lipstein and Katz surrendered all options previously received by them to purchase our common stock.

In such agreements with Messrs. Lipstein and Katz, they agreed to cancel deferred compensation we owed them of $233,300 and $366,221, respectively, and an additional $23,981 we owed them. In exchange we paid each of them $25,000 and granted Mr. Lipstein an option to purchase 12 A Preferred shares and Dr Katz an option to purchase 8 A Preferred shares at an exercise price of $100 per A Preferred share, plus the number of Series A, M, and M-1 warrants they would have been entitled to receive if they had purchases such A Preferred shares in the private placement sale we made of such A Preferred shares in June 2007. Such options are exercisable in the same 30 days period after (and if) we publicly announce our receipt of the FDA clearance letter by our filing of a current report to that effect on form 8-K with the SEC. If Messrs. Lipstein and Katz exercise their options and buy, respectively, 12 and 8 shares of our A Preferred, they would as a result be entitled to acquire the following additional number of shares of our common stock:

The shares are to be offered by and for the respective accounts of the Selling Stockholders and any pledgees or donees or other assignees of the Selling Stockholders. We have agreed to register all of the shares under the Securities Act and to pay all of the expenses in connection with such registration and sale of the shares, other than underwriting discounts and selling commissions and the fees and expenses of advisors to the Selling Stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the Selling Stockholders, except for the exercise price, if any, paid in connection with the exercise of the warrants and options.
 
Information with respect to the Selling Stockholders and the shares is set forth in the footnotes to the following table. None of the Selling Stockholders has had any material relationship with us within the past three years, except as noted in such footnotes.
 
We do not know when or in what amounts the Selling Stockholders may offer shares for sale. The Selling Stockholders may not sell any or all of the shares offered by this prospectus. Because the Selling Stockholders may offer all or some of the shares pursuant to this offering, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares, we cannot estimate the number of shares that will be held by the Selling Stockholders after completion of the offering. For purposes of this table, however, we have assumed that, after completion of the offering, none of the shares covered by this prospectus will be held by the Selling Stockholders.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and includes voting or investment power with respect to shares. All calculations assume the conversion of all shares of Series A, Series A-1, and Series A-2 and Series D-1 preferred stock outstanding at August 31, 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the Certificates of Designation for the aforementioned series of preferred stock, the holders of shares of these series of preferred stock do not have the right to convert their shares of these series to common stock to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the stockholder together with the stockholder’s affiliates would have beneficial ownership of more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock immediately after the conversion. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, all stockholders named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to their shares of common stock, except to the extent authority is shared by spouses under applicable law. The inclusion of any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership for the stockholders named below.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each Selling Stockholder of the common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded, or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
 
 
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
 
·
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
 
·
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
 
·
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
 
·
privately negotiated transactions;
 
 
·
settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
 
 
·
broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
 
·
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
 
 
·
a combination of any such methods of sale; or
 
 
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.
 
In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
 
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. No Selling Stockholder has informed us that it has any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).
 
47

 
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the shares by the Selling Stockholders.
 
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
 
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), any person engaged in the distribution of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
 
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

General

We are authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share. Prior to this offering, 11,152,203 shares of our common stock were outstanding and owned of record by approximately 382 persons, 5,948.6148 shares of our Series D-1 convertible preferred stock were outstanding and owned of record by two entities, 1,191.668 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock were outstanding and owned of record by 96 persons or entities, and 500 shares each of Series A-1 and A-2 were outstanding and owned by one entity. There are 1,531 beneficial owners of our common stock.

Common Stock

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, including the election of directors. Our certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting. Accordingly, holders of our common stock may elect all of the directors standing for election if they choose to do so. Holders of common stock will be entitled to receive ratably dividends, if any, declared from time to time by our Board of Directors, and will be entitled to receive ratably all of our assets available for distribution to them upon liquidation. All currently outstanding shares of our common stock are, and all shares of our common stock offered hereby, upon issuance and sale, will be, fully paid and nonassessable.

Preferred Stock

Our certificate of incorporation currently provides that we are authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of "blank check" preferred stock. Without any further approval by our stockholders, our Board of Directors may designate and authorize the issuance, upon the terms and conditions the directors may determine, of one or more classes or series of preferred stock with prescribed preferential dividend and liquidation rights, voting, conversion, redemption and other rights. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility for securing needed financing and for possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, adversely affect the voting power of the holders of the common stock. Under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could also make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of Ortec, discourage bids for the common stock at a premium or otherwise adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

Designation and Rank

On June 14, 2007, in connection with our board of director’s authority to issue “blank check” preferred stock, we filed an amendment to our certificate of incorporation in which amendment we designated the relative rights and preferences of our Series A convertible preferred stock (A Preferred) pursuant to which our board of directors authorized the issuance of 20,000 shares of A Preferred, par value $0.001 per share. The A Preferred shall rank prior to the common stock for purposes of liquidation preference and to all other classes and series of our equity securities that by their terms do not rank senior to or pari passu with the A Preferred (“Junior Stock”). The A Preferred shall be subordinate to and rank junior to all our indebtedness now or hereafter outstanding. The A Preferred shall rank on a pari passu basis with the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively the “Pari Passu Preferred”). The A Preferred has a liquidation preference of $10,000 per share. As of the date of this prospectus there are 1,191.668 shares of A Preferred outstanding which are convertible into 23,833,360 shares of our common stock.

Dividends

None

Voting Rights

General - None

Class - So long as any shares of the A Preferred remain outstanding, we may not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least seventy percent (70%) of the shares of the A Preferred outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting, in which the holders of the A Preferred vote separately as a class:

 
(i)
amend our certificate of incorporation or our by-laws or amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the A Preferred, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, so as to adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the A Preferred; provided, however, that any creation and issuance of another series of Junior Stock and, to the extent approved by at least 50% of the outstanding A Preferred and the Series A-1 convertible preferred stock voting together, Pari Passu Preferred and senior stock shall not be deemed to adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers;

 
(ii)
repurchase, redeem or pay dividends in cash or in kind on shares of our Junior Stock and pari passu stock and senior stock;

 
(iii)
effect any distribution with respect to Junior Stock and Pari Passu Preferred stock; or

 
(iv)
reclassify our outstanding securities.

Liquidation Preference

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of the A Preferred then outstanding shall be entitled to receive, out of our assets, $10,000 (the Series A Liquidation Preference Amount) per A Preferred share, on a pro rata basis with the Pari Passu Preferred stock, before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of our common stock or any other Junior Stock. If our assets can pay some of, but are not sufficient to pay in full, the Series A Liquidation Preference Amount to the holders of the A Preferred, then all of our assets available to pay any portion of the Series A Liquidation Preference Amount will be distributed among the holders of the A Preferred ratably on a per share basis. After payment of the full Series A Liquidation Preference Amount, the holders of shares of A Preferred will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of our assets.
 
49

 

Conversion

Voluntary Conversion

Each holder of any such shares of A Preferred may, at such holder’s option, subject to the limitations described below, elect to convert all or any portion of the shares of A Preferred held by such person into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock equal to the quotient of (i) the A Preferred Liquidation Preference Amount divided by (ii) $0.50.

Conversion Restrictions

At no time may a holder of shares of A Preferred convert shares of the A Preferred if the number of shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of our common stock owned by such holder at such time, the number of shares of common stock which would result in such holder beneficially owning in excess of 9.99% of all of our common stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon a holder of A Preferred providing us with sixty-one days notice such holder may waive this provision with regard to any or all shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of his A Preferred.

Mandatory Conversion
 
All or a portion of the shares of A Preferred outstanding on the Mandatory Conversion Date (“MCD” and defined below) shall, depending on the closing bid price for our common stock on such MCD, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder, convert into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of our common stock equal to the quotient of (i) the Liquidation Preference Amount of our A Preferred outstanding on the MCD divided by (ii) the conversion price in effect on the MCD. If the closing bid price of our common stock on the MCD is equal to or greater than $1.50 but less than $2.00, one-third (1/3) of each share of A Preferred outstanding shall automatically convert into shares of our common stock. If the closing bid price of our common stock on the MCD is equal to or greater than $2.00 but less than $3.00,each share of A Preferred will convert into so many shares of our common stock so that after such conversion 2/3 of the Liquidation Preference Amount of such A Preferred shall have been converted. If the closing bid price of our common stock on the MCD is greater than $3.00, all of the shares of A Preferred outstanding shall automatically convert into shares of our common stock. MCD is the date we file a report on Form 8-K with the SEC announcing that the FDA has cleared our ORCEL product for commercial sales for treatment of venous stasis ulcers (the “FDA Clearance Date”), provided, that the closing bid price of our common stock exceeds $1.50 for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days and provided further that all shares of our common stock issuable upon such mandatory conversion may be offered for sale to the public pursuant to a registration statement then in effect or pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
Reservation of Shares of Common Stock

As long as any shares of A Preferred are outstanding, we are required to reserve and keep available out of our authorized and unissued common stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the A Preferred, 120% of such number of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of all of the A Preferred then outstanding.

Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock

Designation and Rank

On June 14, 2007, in connection with our board of director’s authority to issue “blank check” preferred stock, we filed an amendment to our certificate of incorporation in which amendment we designated the relative rights and preferences of our Series A-1 convertible preferred stock (A-1 Preferred) pursuant to which our board of directors authorized the issuance of 500 shares of A-1 Preferred, par value $0.001 per share. The A-1 Preferred shall rank prior to the common stock for purposes of liquidation preference and to all other classes and series of our equity securities that by their terms do not rank senior to or pari passu with the A-1 Preferred (“Junior Stock”). The A-1 Preferred shall be subordinate to and rank junior to all our indebtedness now or hereafter outstanding. The A-1 Preferred shall rank on a pari passu basis with the A Preferred and the Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively the “Pari Passu Preferred”). The A-1 Preferred has a liquidation preference of $10,000 per share. As of the date of this prospectus there are 500 shares of A-1 Preferred outstanding which are convertible into 10,000,000 shares of our common stock.

Voting Rights

(i)
amend our certificate of incorporation or our by-laws, or amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the A-1 Preferred, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, so as to adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the A-1 Preferred; provided, however, that any creation and issuance of another series of Junior Stock and, to the extent approved by at least 50% of the then outstanding A Preferred and the A-1 Preferred voting together , Pari Passu Preferred and senior stock shall not be deemed to adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers;

If our assets can pay some of, but are not sufficient to pay in full, the Series A-1 Liquidation Preference Amount to the holders of the A-1 Preferred, then all of our assets available to pay any portion of the Series A-1 Liquidation Preference Amount will be distributed among the holders of the A-1 Preferred ratably on a per share basis. After payment of the full Series A-1 Liquidation Preference Amount, the holders of shares of A-1 Preferred will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of our assets.

Each holder of any such shares of A-1 Preferred may, at such holder’s option, subject to the limitations described below, elect to convert all or any portion of the shares of A-1 Preferred held by such person into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock equal to the quotient of (i) the A-1 Preferred Liquidation Preference Amount divided by (ii) $0.50.

Conversion Restrictions

At no time may a holder of shares of A-1 Preferred convert shares of the A-1 Preferred if the number of shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of our common stock owned by such holder at such time, the number of shares of common stock which would result in such holder beneficially owning in excess of 9.99% of all of our common stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon a holder of A-1 Preferred providing us with sixty-one days notice such holder may waive this provision with regard to any or all shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of his A-1 Preferred.

Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock

Designation and Rank

On June 14, 2007, in connection with our board of director’s authority to issue “blank check” preferred stock, we filed an amendment to our certificate of incorporation in which amendment we designated the relative rights and preferences of our Series A-2 convertible preferred stock (A-2 Preferred) pursuant to which our board of directors authorized the issuance of 500 shares of A-2 Preferred, par value $0.001 per share. The A-2 Preferred shall rank prior to the common stock for purposes of liquidation preference and to all other classes and series of our equity securities that by their terms do not rank senior to or pari passu with the A-1 Preferred (“Junior Stock”). The A-2 Preferred shall be subordinate to and rank junior to all our indebtedness now or hereafter outstanding. The A-2 Preferred shall rank on a pari passu basis with the A Preferred and the A-1 Preferred (collectively the “Pari Passu Preferred”). The A-2 Preferred has a liquidation preference of $10,000 per share. As of the date of this prospectus there are 500 shares of A-2 Preferred outstanding which are convertible into 1,000,000 shares of our common stock.

If our assets can pay some of, but are not sufficient to pay in full, the Series A-2 Liquidation Preference Amount to the holders of the A-2 Preferred, then all of our assets available to pay any portion of the Series A-2 Liquidation Preference Amount will be distributed among the holders of the A-2 Preferred ratably on a per share basis.

Series D-1 and Series D-2 Convertible Preferred Stock

Designation and Rank

On August 24, 2006, and on June 24, 2007, in connection with our board of director’s authority to issue “blank check” preferred stock, we filed amendments to our certificate of incorporation in which amendments we designated the relative rights and preferences of our Series D-1 preferred stock and our Series D-2 preferred stock, respectively (the D-1 Preferred or the D-2 Preferred, but together the D Preferred) pursuant to which our board of directors authorized the issuance of 20,000 shares of D-1 Preferred and 20,000 shares of D-2 Preferred, each with par value $0.001 per share. The D Preferred ranks prior to the common stock for purposes of liquidation preference and to all other classes and series of our equity securities that by their terms do not rank senior to the D Preferred, except that the D Preferred shall be subordinate to and rank junior to all other classes of our preferred stock outstanding as of the date hereof or hereafter created unless any series of preferred stock hereafter created by its terms ranks junior to the D Preferred. The D Preferred shall be subordinate to and rank junior to all our indebtedness now or hereafter outstanding. The D Preferred has a stated value of $10 per share. As of the date of this prospectus there are 5,948.615 shares of D-1 Preferred outstanding which are convertible into 1,586,297 shares of our common stock. There are no shares of D-2 Preferred outstanding.

Dividends

In the event we declare a cash dividend on our common stock we will be required to pay a dividend on each share of our D Preferred in an amount equal to the cash dividend paid on one share of our common stock multiplied by the number of shares of our common stock into which such one share of our D Preferred can be converted.

Voting Rights

General -Except as described below and otherwise required by Delaware law, the D Preferred have no voting rights.

Class - As long as any shares of the D-1 Preferred remain outstanding, we will not, without the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least 75% of the shares of the D-1 Preferred outstanding at the time, voting separately as a class: 

 
·
amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the D-1 Preferred so as to adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the D-1 Preferred;
 
53

 
 
·
effect any distribution with respect to junior stock except that we may effect a distribution on our common stock if we make a like kind distribution on each share of our D-1 Preferred outstanding in an amount equal to the distribution on one share of our common stock multiplied by the number of shares of our common stock into which one share of our D-1 Preferred can be converted at such time.

As long as any shares of the D-2 Preferred remain outstanding, we will not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 75% of the shares of the D-2 Preferred outstanding at the time, voting separately as a class:

 
·
amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the D-2 Preferred so as to adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the D-2 Preferred;

 
·
effect any distribution with respect to junior stock except that we may effect a distribution on our common stock if we make a like kind distribution on each share of our D-2 Preferred outstanding in an amount equal to the distribution on one share of our common stock multiplied by the number of shares of our common stock into which one share of our D-2 Preferred can be converted at such time.

Liquidation Preference

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of the D Preferred then outstanding shall be entitled to receive, out of our assets, a Series D Liquidation Preference Amount of $10 per share of the D Preferred before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of our common stock or any other junior stock. However, no Series D Liquidation Preference Amount shall be paid on any D Preferred unless we have first finished paying all liquidation preference amounts on all other classes of our outstanding preferred stock which do not by their terms rank junior to the D Preferred. If our assets can pay some of, but are not sufficient to pay in full, the Series D Liquidation Preference Amount to the holders of the D Preferred, then all of our assets available to pay any portion of the Series D Liquidation Preference Amount will be distributed among the holders of the D Preferred ratably on a per share basis. After payment of the full Series D Liquidation Preference Amount, the holders of shares of D Preferred will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of our assets.

Conversion

Voluntary Conversion

Each holder of D Preferred may, at such holder's option, subject to certain limitations described below, elect to convert all or any portion of the shares of D Preferred held by such holder into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of our common stock equal, in case of D-1 Preferred, to the quotient of the Series D-1 liquidation preference amount of $10 per share divided by $37.50, and in the case of the D-2 Preferred, 1,000 shares of our common stock for each share of our D-2 Preferred.

Conversion Restrictions

At no time may a holder of shares of D Preferred convert shares of the D Preferred if the number of shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of our common stock owned by such holder at such time, the number of shares of common stock which would result in such holder beneficially owning in excess of 9.99% of all of our common stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon a holder of D Preferred providing us with sixty-one days notice such holder may waive this provision with regard to any or all shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of his D Preferred.

Mandatory Conversion

Upon our written request a holder of D Preferred shall advise us in writing as to the number of shares of our common stock that are beneficially owned by such holder. If the shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such holder amount to less than 9.99% of the shares of our common stock outstanding at such time, we may, at our option, compel such holder to convert such portion of the D Preferred owned by him into so many shares of our common stock so that the total number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such holder after such conversion shall equal 9.99%, but not more, of the shares of our common stock outstanding after such conversion.
 
54

 
Reservation of Shares of Common Stock

As long as any shares of D Preferred are outstanding, we are required to reserve and keep available out of our authorized and unissued common stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the D Preferred, 100% of such number of shares of common stock that will be sufficient to effect the conversion of all of the D Preferred then outstanding.

Anti-Dilution Provisions

The anti-dilution provisions for each class of our preferred shares described above, and for each of our warrants listed below, are described at the end of this “Description of Securities” section.

Warrants

During the past five years, we have made a number of private placement sales of our common stock and of different classes of our preferred stock. In each of those private placement sales, we granted to the purchasers warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. We also issued warrants to lenders who almost always converted their loans to purchase our common stock and our convertible preferred stock that we sold in the next private placement sale of our equity securities, to the placement agent, vendors, and in other transactions we entered into.

We issued our Series B-1 and B-2 warrants to the purchasers of our Series B preferred stock in 2002 and 2003. We issued our Series C warrants to purchasers of our Series C preferred stock in 2003. We issued our Series E warrants to participants in a series of private placement and debt financing transactions that we completed in December 2004 and in January and February 2005. We issued our Series F warrants to participants in a series of debt financing and private placement transactions that we completed in October 2005. We issued our Series G warrants in our acquisition of Hapto Biotech, Inc. in April 2006. We issued our Series H warrants in connection with our private placement sales of our Series E 6% convertible preferred stock, also in April 2006. In June 2007 we issued our Series A, M, and M-1 to the purchasers of our A Preferred shares in a private placement sale and to holders of our Series H warrants when they exchanged their Series H warrants for shares of our common stock. In those private placements we also issued warrants to the placement agents who arranged such private placement and debt financings for us. None of our Series B, C, or E convertible preferred shares are outstanding having been converted into or exchanged for our common stock.

Warrants and Options for Former Executive Officers

We granted our former chief executive officer and our former chairman options to purchase 12 and 8 shares, respectively, of our A Preferred, which options are exercisable at $100 per preferred share. Upon their exercise they would receive 12 and 8 shares of A Preferred, Series A, M and M-l warrants, entitling them to acquire for $2,000 an aggregate of 400,000 shares of our common stock, and warrants to purchase an additional 500,000 shares of our common stock at exercise prices of $0.50 and $1.00 per common share.

See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions - Cancellation Agreements.”

Warrants to Placement Agent

We issued to the placement agent for arranging the private placement of our A Preferred shares with warrants attached, 5 year warrants to purchase 3,156,670 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.55 per common share. We also issued to such placement agent for its services in negotiating our cancellation agreements with Messrs. Lipstein and Katz, and our exchange agreement with Paul Royalty Fund, and for other financial advisory services it has rendered to us, 5 year warrants to purchase an additional 2,000,000 shares of our common stock, also at an exercise price of $0.55 per common share.

We have granted options under our employee stock option plan, and options outside the plan, to our employees, directors, consultants and vendors, to purchase an aggregate of 82,068 shares of our common stock at exercise prices of $0.55 per share for 55,000 shares, and at exercise prices in excess of $2.85 per share for 27,068 shares.

Anti-Dilution Provisions

All of the preferred stock, the warrants and the options described or referred to in this section contain customary provisions with respect to adjustments to the conversion or exercise price and the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of preferred stock or exercise of warrants in the event we are a party to any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split involving our common stock.
 
57

 
The A Preferred, A-1 Preferred, the Series A and the Series M Warrants, and the warrants issued to Messrs. Lipstein and Katz and exercisable at $0.55 per common share (see “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions - Cancellation Agreements”) all provide that if we sell shares of our common stock at prices below the conversion prices of such preferred stock or exercise prices of those warrants, or issue other securities convertible into, or which entitle the holders to purchase, shares of our common stock, which could result in the sale of our common stock at a price which in effect (taking into consideration the price paid for the convertible security or the warrant or the option) is less than the conversion prices of such preferred stock or the exercise price of those warrants, then such conversion or exercise price is reduced to the lower price at which the common stock was, or effectively could be, acquired. These full ratchet provisions expire when (and if) we file a current report on Form 8-K with the SEC announcing FDA clearance for commercial sale of our ORCEL product for treatment of venous stasis ulcers. Thereafter such preferred stock and warrants will be subject to customary weighted average anti-dilution provisions described in the next paragraph.

All of such preferred stock and such warrants referred to in this previous paragraph have, after their full ratchet provisions expire, and the series E and F warrants also have, weighted average anti-dilution provisions. Those are provisions that if we sell shares of our common stock at prices below the conversion price of the preferred stock or the exercise prices of the warrant, or issue other securities convertible into, or which entitle the holder to purchase, shares of our common stock, which could result in the sale of our common stock at a price which in effect (taking into consideration the price paid for the convertible security or the warrant or the option) is less than the conversion or exercise price, then the conversion or exercise price is reduced by a portion of the difference between the conversion or exercise price and the lower price at which our common stock was, or effectively could be, acquired. That percentage by which the conversion or exercise price could be reduced depends not only on the lower price at which our common stock was, or could be, acquired, but also by the ratio that the number of shares of our common stock that were, or could be, so acquired bears to the total number of shares of our common stock that would be outstanding after such sale of our common stock, or the conversion of securities convertible into, or the exercise of such warrants or options to purchase, our common stock.

Our Series H warrants also have full ratchet anti-dilution provisions but, pursuant to resolutions adopted by our board of directors we (a) issued our common stock and Series A Warrants in exchange for over 90% of our outstanding Series H warrants and (b) reduced the exercise price of the remaining Series H warrants to one cent per common share.

We will have to issue a proportionately greater number of our common shares upon the conversion of our preferred shares if the conversion prices of such preferred shares are reduced because of such anti-dilution provisions. That is not the case, however, with respect to the number of shares we have to issue upon exercise of warrants (other than our H warrants) at lower exercise prices resulting from such anti-dilution provisions.

Requirements to file registration statements

During the past five years we have completed a number of private placements of our equity securities which have provided us with the funds we needed to continue our business operations. In April 2006 we issued our equity securities to acquire Hapto Biotech, Inc. Our securities described above which we sold in such private placements and issued for such acquisition include our common stock, our Series A, A-1, A-2 and D-1 convertible preferred stock and our Series A, B-1, B-2, C, E, F, G, H, M, and M-1 warrants. In all of the agreements we signed with the investors in those private placements and with the former shareholders of Hapto Biotech we undertook obligations to file registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission to enable those investors and former Hapto Biotech shareholders to sell in the public securities markets the shares of our common stock which those investors (a) acquired, (b) could acquire upon conversion of the preferred stock they acquired, or (c) could acquire upon exercise of the warrants they acquired. The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part was filed by us pursuant to those obligations we undertook. Some of our agreements with those investors and former Hapto Biotech shareholders also provide for penalties we have to pay if we fail to timely file, or fail to have the registration statement declared effective, in the periods provided in those agreements. Those penalties range from 1% to 2% per month (for 18 to 24 months) of the purchase prices paid by the investors in the private placements for those securities for which registration deadline filing and effectiveness dates have not been met. Although in the past we have not incurred any of those penalties (often securing waivers in accordance with the provisions in those agreements), we can give no assurance that we will not incur those penalties in the future. Furthermore, the pendency of a registration statement before it is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, may, because of the Commission’s general solicitation rule, prevent us from simultaneously raising funds from future private placement sales of our securities when we need such funds to continue our business operations.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Our certificate of incorporation provides that the personal liability of our directors shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"). Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL generally provides that no director shall be liable personally to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that our certificate of incorporation does not eliminate the liability of a director for (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our shareholders; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) acts or omissions in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases; or (iv) any transaction from which such director derives improper personal benefit. The effect of this provision is to eliminate our rights and the rights of our shareholders through stockholders' derivative suits on our behalf, to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of her or his fiduciary duty of care as a director, including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior except in the situations described in clauses (i) through (iv) above. The limitations summarized above, however, do not affect our or our shareholders ability to seek non-monetary remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, against a director for breach of her or his fiduciary duty.

In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that we shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, indemnify all persons who we may indemnify pursuant to Section 145 of the DGCL. Section 145 of the DGCL permits a company to indemnify an officer or director who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding because of his or her position, if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of such company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

We maintain a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy covering certain liabilities that may be incurred by our directors and officers in connection with the performance of their duties. The entire premium for such insurance is paid by us.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors and officers, and to persons controlling Ortec pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2007, and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and for the period from March 12, 1991 (inception) to June 30, 2007, and condensed consolidated statements of shareholders' equity (deficit) for the period from March 12, 1991 (inception) to June 30, 2007, have been prepared by us and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2007, results of operations and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and from March 12, 1991 (inception) through June 30, 2007, and statements of shareholders' equity (deficit) for the period from March 12, 1991 (inception) to June 30, 2007, have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto in our December 31, 2006 annual report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or any other interim period.

NOTE 2 - FORMATION OF THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Formation of the Company

Ortec International, Inc. ("Ortec" or the "Company") was incorporated in March 1991 as a Delaware corporation to secure and provide funds for the further development of the technology developed by Dr. Mark Eisenberg of Sydney, Australia, to replicate in the laboratory, a tissue engineered skin substitute for use in skin regeneration procedures (the "Technology"). Pursuant to a license agreement dated September 7, 1991, Dr. Eisenberg had granted Ortec a license for a term of ten years, with automatic renewals by Ortec for two additional ten-year periods, to commercially use and exploit the Technology for the development of products. In April 1998, Dr. Eisenberg assigned his patent for the Technology to Ortec.

Basis of Presentation

We are a development stage enterprise which had no operating revenue prior to December 2001. During 2001, we received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the use of the fresh form of our ORCEL product for the treatment of patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and for donor sites in burn patients. We began marketing and selling our product for use on patients with one of these indications using a contract sales organization. Our sales and marketing efforts were active only for a brief period and accordingly our revenues were not significant. We terminated our sales efforts and elected to focus our attention on completing development of a cryopreserved form of our product for treatment of chronic wounds affecting larger patient populations. As a result, we completed a clinical trial during 2003 for the use of the cryopreserved form of ORCEL to treat venous stasis ulcers and filed an application for Pre-Market Approval (PMA) with the FDA in February 2004. In a letter dated April 25, 2005, the FDA determined that additional data would be necessary to confirm cryopreserved ORCEL’s effectiveness and safety treating venous stasis ulcers, although the FDA concluded that cryopreserved ORCEL showed promise for the effective treatment of venous stasis ulcers. The clinical data from the pivotal trial of 136 patients submitted to the FDA showed that in 60 patients who had typical venous ulcers (defined as those ulcers with partial or full-thickness skin tissue damage, in which the wound base is visible and the ulcer extends through the dermis but not into the subcutaneous tissue to fascia, muscle or bone), 59% of the ORCEL treated patients achieved wound closure versus 36% of the patients who received the standard of care treatment. The FDA agreed that data of these 60 patients would be combined with that of the 60 patients to be enrolled in a confirmatory clinical trial and the combined results would be analyzed using Bayesian statistics. We obtained FDA approval for our confirmatory trial protocol in mid July 2005 and began the confirmatory trial in mid August 2005. In November 2006, we completed the confirmatory trial designed to confirm the superiority of cryopreserved ORCEL over the standard of care in the treatment of difficult-to-heal venous leg ulcers in comparison to the standard of care therapy. On February 26, 2007, we announced that we had initiated the filing of the supplement to our PMA application with the FDA requesting clearance to market our tissue engineered product, ORCEL, for the treatment of venous stasis ulcers, by submitting to the FDA the Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) section of the application. We hope to file the clinical section of the application, which will report the combined results of our two clinical trials, in the third quarter of 2007 or early October 2007. Such clinical section will report the results showing the effectiveness of our ORCEL product treating venous stasis ulcers as compared with the effectiveness of the current standard of care, the safety of using our product and the labeling we propose to use for our ORCEL product. These filings of these two sections are expected to be amendments to our PMA application filed in February 2004.

ORTEC INTERNATIONAL, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We recorded net income applicable to common shareholders of $17.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 because of our gain of $35.5 million on the early extinguishment of our revenue interest obligation. Without such gain we would have incurred a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $18.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007. We have a deficit accumulated in the development stage of $161.8 million. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We expect to incur obligations of approximately $630,000 per month primarily for personnel and rent, insurance, fees to Lonza for technology transfer or contract manufacturing activities, clinical data accumulation, various research and development activities, and payment of past due obligations. We will require substantial funding to enable us to continue our research and development activities, pay a portion of our past due obligations, complete the FDA clearance process for our ORCEL to treat venous stasis ulcers, and provide for our general and corporate working capital requirements for the period after January 2008.

While we have arranged for payment of some of our obligations over a period of time, and have to make other payments of past due obligations to our current and ongoing suppliers, our ability to make payments we have agreed to pay and to ensure continued receipt of needed supplies, and to continue reducing our past due obligations, will depend on our ability to secure needed financing or our ability to issue our equity securities in satisfaction of certain obligations.

We hope to obtain additional funds through the sale of our securities to the public and through private placements, debt financing or other short-term loans. We may not be able to secure any future financing nor may we be able to reach the larger patient population markets of persons with venous stasis ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers, with funds that we may be able to raise. We are also likely to continue to encounter difficulties which are common to development stage companies, including unanticipated costs relating to development, delays in the testing of products, regulatory approval and compliance and competition.

Our capital funding requirements depend on numerous factors, including:

 
·
the progress and magnitude of our research and development programs;
     
 
·
the time involved in obtaining regulatory approvals for the commercial sale of our ORCEL product in its cryopreserved form to treat venous stasis ulcers and, later, diabetic foot ulcers;
     
 
·
the costs involved in filing and maintaining patent claims;
     
 
·
technological advances;
     
 
·
competitive and market conditions;
     
 
·
the successful implementation of the agreements we have entered into with Lonza for manufacturing and sales of our ORCEL product;
     
 
·
our ability to establish and maintain other collaborative arrangements and
     
 
·
the cost and effectiveness of commercialization activities and arrangements.

With respect to our Cell Therapy Manufacturing Agreement (CTMA) with Lonza Walkersville, Inc, a subsidiary of Lonza Corporation (Lonza) to produce ORCEL for commercial distribution, we have initiated discussions to limit expenditures under such agreement primarily to those which are essential for obtaining regulatory approval. Together we are working on process improvements that we expect will reduce the cost of producing ORCEL as we plan for the potential commercial sales of our product. In January 2007, Lonza agreed to temporarily suspend their $136,591 monthly charge for their production suite as provided in our CTMA, until such time as the suite is necessary to produce our ORCEL product, expected around the fourth quarter of 2007. We have begun preliminary discussions with Lonza with respect to a potential reduction of our monthly production suite costs and other modifications of our CTMA as well as changes to our Sales Agency Agreement.

On June 18, 2007, we completed our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock private placement for gross cash proceeds of $5.8 million and simultaneously exchanged our liability under our revenue interest assignment to Paul Royalty Fund, L.P., recorded as $43,401,000 at said date, for an aggregate of $10,000,000 liquidation preference of Series A-1 and Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock. We also converted bridge loans totaling $2.7 million into our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. These transactions are described in Note 7.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand at June 30, 2007, $2,500,818, as well as funds received in the two subsequent closings of the June 2007 private placement of our equity securities (see Note 9), and the additional funds we will need to raise in 2008, may enable us to continue our operations for the next twelve months. There can be no assurances that we can raise additional funds.

These financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Successful future operations depend upon the successful development and marketing of our ORCEL product. Historically we have funded our operating losses by periodically raising additional sources of capital. If additional funding is not available to us when needed, we may not be able to continue operations. No adjustments have been made to the accompanying financials as a result of this uncertainty.

Common Stock Reverse Split

On July 24, 2006, we effected another reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock, whereby every stockholder received one new share of common stock for every fifteen shares previously owned. All share and per share data in these financial statements have been adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split. The par value of the common stock remained unchanged at $.001 per share. The exercise prices of all our warrants and options outstanding were adjusted, in accordance with their different provisions, as a result of this reverse split. The conversion rates of the preferred stock outstanding were also adjusted because of this reverse split.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2006 amounts to conform to the 2007 presentation.

NOTE 3 - SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Options

In April 1996, the Board of Directors and stockholders approved the adoption of the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”). The Plan provided for the grant of options to purchase up to 2,333 shares of our common stock. In August 1998, the stockholders and Board of Directors ratified and approved an amended and restated 1996 Plan increasing the maximum number of shares of our common stock for which stock options may be granted from 2,333 to 10,333 shares. In August 2000, the stockholders and Board of Directors ratified and approved the second amendment to our Amended and Restated 1996 Plan increasing the number of shares of our common stock for which options have been or could be granted under the Plan from 10,333 to 20,000 shares. In February 2003, the stockholders and Board of Directors ratified and approved an amended and restated 1996 Plan, increasing the maximum number of shares of our common stock for which stock options may be granted from 20,000 to 30,000 shares. The 1996 Plan provides for granting of options to purchase our common stock at not less than the fair value of such shares on the date of the grant. Some of the options generally vest ratably over a four-year period, while others vest immediately. The options generally expire after seven years. As of June 30, 2007 no options were available for grant under the 1996 Plan.

In July 2005, the Board of Directors and stockholders approved the adoption of the 2005 Stock Option Plan (the “2005 Plan”). The 2005 Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 66,667 shares of our common stock. These options may be granted to employees, our officers, our non-employee directors, consultants and advisors. The 2005 Plan provides for granting of options to purchase our common stock at not less than the fair value of such shares on the date of the grant. As of June 30, 2007, 21,266 options were available for grant under the 2005 Plan.

Our Board of Directors or its Stock Option Committee has determined the exercise price for all stock options awarded. The exercise price for all stock options awarded is the market price of our common stock on the date the option is granted.

Performance Shares

During 2003, an allocation of 120,000 restricted shares of common stock were granted to officers and certain employees. The issuance of these shares was contingent on our achieving certain milestones. On January 5, 2005, we issued 66,667 and 22,667 of these shares to our chief executive officer and chairman, respectively, for having achieved a milestone of raising in excess of $15,000,000 over a specified period. On June 27, 2005, we allocated the remaining 30,666 shares of our common stock to certain executive officers and other employees. Out of this 30,666 allocation, we issued an aggregate of 19,666 shares to our chief operating and chief financial officers. Grants of the remaining 11,000 shares allocated to three employees were conditioned on meeting certain performance criteria. One of those employees met such performance criteria at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 and 667 and 1,333, or an aggregate 2,000 shares were issued, respectively. The remaining 9,000 shares were forfeited as it was determined the performance criteria was not reached. The related charges were reflected as additional paid in capital and deferred compensation in the statement of shareholders’ deficit. The 111,000 shares all vested on May 31, 2007. We recorded a charge to deferred compensation of $752,000 based on the fair value of these restricted shares. The deferred compensation for the 111,000 issued shares was amortized over the 29-month vesting period. Included in personnel expense are charges of $128,183 and $20,484 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, reflecting the amortization of this deferred compensation amount. These shares have certain registration rights. The stock grant agreements with these individuals all provided that in lieu of a direct cash payment, these individuals may transfer a portion of these shares back to us to satisfy their minimum future personal tax withholding liability arising from the receipt of these shares, for which we will pay their tax obligation. Pursuant to those provisions an aggregate 35,126 shares were transferred back to us by these individuals and the remaining 75,874 shares were retained by them.

Other Plans

On August 24, 2006 the Board of Directors adopted the Ortec International, Inc. 2006 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The Plan provides for grants of up to 2,500,000 shares of our common stock that may be awarded to our employees, directors, consultant and advisors. The awards may be in the form of restricted stock or incentive stock options. The grants will be made by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors. The two members of that committee are both non-employee directors.

On December 11, 2006 the Board of Directors awarded 500,000 shares of restricted stock from the 2006 Plan, of which 200,000 shares was awarded to a member of management and 300,000 shares to two senior level employees. These shares are to be issued on January 1, 2008 and vest over a five-month period ending May 31, 2008. The shares granted to any of these employees, or pro-rata portions thereof, will be forfeited if during any time over this seventeen-month period, such employee’s employment with us is terminated. Due to the high probability that these three employees will continue to be employed by us through May 31, 2008, we recorded a charge of $165,000 related to these awards in deferred compensation and are amortizing such charge over such seventeen month period. No other specific performance criteria were established for these awards. Included in our six months ended June 30, 2007 personnel expense is a charge of $58,235 for these shares.

The Plan will be presented to Stockholders for approval at our next annual meeting. At June 30, 2007, 1,890,000 shares were available for additional grants under the plan.

NOTE 4 - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

As of June 30, 2007, basic and diluted earnings per share includes warrants to purchase 811,333 and 708,336 shares of common stock, exercisable at $.015 and $.01 per share, respectively, reflected as outstanding from the date of grant. Diluted earnings per share also includes an aggregate of 31,558,657 common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding preferred stock, as well as approximately 6,837,000 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants and stock options whose prices are below the average market prices for the three and six month periods ended.

As of June 30, 2006, an aggregate of 5,378,485 shares issuable on exercise of outstanding warrants and options and an aggregate of 1,586,297 and 2,159,111 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of our Series D and Series E preferred stock outstanding, respectively, were excluded from the weighted average share calculations, as the effect was antidilutive. Basic and diluted loss per share for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006 includes warrants to purchase 811,333 shares of common stock, exercisable at $.015 per share reflected as outstanding from the date of grant. The weighted average share calculations included those common shares which we were obligated to register under the Securities Act of 1933 and potential liquidated damages for our failure to timely do so, which were classified on the balance sheet as temporary equity.

NOTE 7 - FINANCING 

Directors and Officer Premium Financing Agreement: On February 2, 2007, we entered into a commercial premium finance agreement with First Insurance Funding Corp. of New York in the amount of $138,000. The financing agreement bore interest at 7.3 % and required nine monthly payments of $15,803 beginning March 2007. The financing was utilized to fund the premium payments for our directors and officers insurance policy.

Restricted Stock Award to Directors: On February 19, 2007, the Board of Directors awarded 60,000 shares and 50,000 shares, respectively to Dr. Lilien and Dr. Schiff, for their service as members on our Audit Committee. Both awards were made as a result of our long outstanding fees due these directors for their services and to ensure their continuing contribution. The awards were made pursuant to the 2006 Stock Award and Incentive Plan.

Exchange Agreement - Secured Bridge Financing: In the fourth quarter of 2006, we agreed on terms which were later incorporated into a January 29, 2007 agreement (the Exchange Agreement) we entered into with Paul Royalty Fund L.P. (PRF) for the restructuring of our obligation under our revenue interest assignment agreement, upon the completion of at least $8,000,000 of financing and other terms. Amongst those other terms, the Exchange Agreement required cancellation of termination of employment agreements we had with our chairman and chief executive officers, Messrs. Katz and Lipstein, and to the resignation of Messrs. Katz and Lipstein as officers and directors of our company, as well as other conditions described hereafter. The agreement was necessary for us to secure bridge financing. We and PRF agreed that the first $2,800,000 of any amount we had to pay PRF pursuant to our then existing revenue interest assignment agreements with PRF would be paid to lenders of bridge loans made to us after September 2006. Those bridge loans enabled us to continue our operations while final terms could be determined relating to the restructuring of our obligation to PRF. Such restructuring enabled us to complete a private placement of our equity securities.

During the period January through June 2007, we received bridge loans aggregating $1,949,000. One of the loans for $110,000 from our former officers was repaid from another bridge loan. These loans matured on various dates between February 28 and June 30, 2007, respectively, and had been due on demand anytime after such dates. These loans accrued interest at 15% per annum after their due dates. The loans were repayable in cash at 110% of their face value. Noteholders were to be issued a warrant exercisable for one share of our common stock for each dollar of the face value of the Note (the "Bridge Warrant"). The Bridge Warrant was to have terms identical to the warrants we issued in the Private Placement or the conversion price of the financing if no warrants were issued. The Bridge Warrants have piggyback registration rights for the shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of such warrants. The lenders had the option to roll their loan at 125% of the loaned amount plus any accrued interest into our June 18, 2007 private placement described hereafter.

Series H Warrant Offer: Beginning February 13, 2007 through June 8, 2007 we made an offer to the holders of our Series H Warrants, contingent on 100% acceptance by all holders, for them to exchange their Series H Warrants for such number of shares of our common stock that they could purchase upon exercise of their Series H Warrants, plus a new five year warrant to purchase, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, 25% of the shares of our common stock they receive in such exchange. Holders of Series H warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,002,444 out of an aggregate of 2,169,111 (92%) shares of our common stock that could be purchased upon exercise of all our Series H warrants, accepted our exchange offer. Although we did not receive 100% acceptance of our offer, we nevertheless agreed to conclude the exchange with those holders of our Series H Warrants who had theretofore accepted our offer contingent upon the following:

 
·
the surrender by the holder of his Series H Warrant(s) to us no later than July 20, 2007 by delivering them to us at our offices, and
     
 
·
agreement to waive any claims they may have against us pursuant to all the agreements entered into with us in connection with their purchases of shares of our Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, all dated as of March 16, 2006.

We agreed to honor our exchange offer with any holder of our Series H Warrants who had agreed to the exchange prior to June 8, 2007 at 5 p.m. and who now agreed to the above conditions. Acceptance of this offer was based on when the holder returned his Series H Warrant.

On June 10, 2007, our Board of Directors voted to reduce the exercise price of the Series H Warrants from $7.50 per share to $0.50 per share of our common stock pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 (g) of the Series H Warrants. On June 27, 2007, our Board of Directors reduced the $0.50 per share exercise price to $0.01 pursuant to the same provision. As a result of these price reductions we recorded a deemed dividend charge of $1,043,305. This was based on the difference in value before and after the price reduction as determined by a Black Scholes Model using a 90% volatility factor, no dividends, and risk free rates of 5.05% and 4.95%, respectively.

As of June 30, 2007 holders of Series H warrants to purchase 1,460,775 shares exchanged their warrants for 1,460,775 shares of common stock and a Series A warrant to purchase 365,192 shares at $1.00 per share. The Series A warrants were warrants that were issued in the private placement described hereafter. In connection therewith we recorded a deemed dividend charge of $197,726 representing the difference in value of the warrants returned versus the common stock and warrants issued. We utilized a Black Scholes model using a risk free rate of 4.91%, no dividends, and 90% volatility to determine the charge. 

Convertible Preferred Stock: On June 14, 2007, our board of directors adopted an amendment to our certificate of incorporation designating the following series of preferred shares out of the 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock that we are authorized to issue:

 
(a)
20,000 shares as Series A convertible preferred stock. The liquidation preference of the Series A convertible preferred stock is $10,000 per share. Each share of Series A convertible preferred stock is convertible into 20,000 shares of common stock.
     
 
(b)
500 shares as Series A-1 convertible preferred stock. The liquidation preference of the Series A-1 convertible preferred stock is also $10,000 per share. Each share of Series A-1 convertible preferred stock is convertible into 10,000 shares of common stock.
     
 
(c)
500 shares as Series A-2 convertible preferred stock. The liquidation preference of the Series A-2 convertible preferred stock is also $10,000 per share. Each share of Series A-2 convertible preferred stock is convertible into 2,000 shares of common stock.
     
 
(d)
20,000 shares as Series D-2 convertible preferred stock. Each share of Series D-2 convertible preferred stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of common stock.

The Series A, A-1, A-2, and D-2 shares have no voting rights in the election of directors or general corporate matters, but none of the rights of these classes of preferred stock set forth in their respective certificates of designation can be altered, amended, or repealed without the consent of such class.

The certificates of designation of each of the Series A Preferred, A-1 Preferred and A-2 Preferred provide that the holders, at their election, could require us to redeem the then outstanding shares of A Preferred, A-1 Preferred and A-2 Preferred at the $10,000 liquidation preference per preferred share if (a) we do not have a sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock available to issue to such holder upon his conversion of his preferred shares, (b) applicable law or exchange rules prohibit us from issuing shares of common stock to such holder upon his conversion of his preferred shares or (c) we fail to have a sufficient number of shares of common stock (into which such preferred shares can be converted) registered for resale in the public securities markets as required by the registration rights agreement we entered into with the holders of those preferred shares.

June 18, 2007 financing transactions: On June 18, 2007 we completed a number of simultaneous transactions as follows:

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (A Preferred) Financing: We completed a private placement of our A Preferred with warrants attached to a group of accredited investors. We sold 579.148 shares of A Preferred for $10,000 per share (its stated value) and received gross cash proceeds from such sales of $5,791,475. At the same time holders of bridge notes who had loaned us an aggregate of $2,701,500, with $94,264 of accrued interest, or $2,795,764, exchanged their bridge notes for an aggregate of 349.470 of our A Preferred shares with warrants attached at 125% of the face value, or $3,494,705, of their bridge notes. Since these bridge notes were settled with A Preferred shares, which are convertible into common stock, no discount was recorded upon the settlement of the bridge notes. We repaid $197,500 of bridge notes, or $226,936 including a $19,750 premium and $9,686 of accrued interest. All noteholders also received our five-year Series A warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,899,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. We recorded a $1,003,747 charge to interest expense representing the value of these warrants. This value was determined using a Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: 90% volatility, no dividends, a stock price of $0.55, and a risk free rate of 5.07%. Each $10,000 A Preferred share converts into 20,000 shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of $0.50 per common share. Our outstanding 928.618 shares of A Preferred can be converted into an aggregate of 18,572,360 shares of our common stock. Each holder of A Preferred shares received a five year warrant to purchase 50% of the number of such holder’s A Preferred as converted shares, or to all such holders warrants to purchase an aggregate 9,286,180 shares of our common stock exercisable at $1.00 per share. Additionally each purchaser and bridge loan investor who acquired A Preferred shares also received Series M warrants which are exercisable at $0.50 per share at any time hereafter until thirty days after (and if) we have announced receipt of written notice from the FDA clearing our right to sell ORCEL for the treatment of venous stasis ulcers. The number of Series M warrants issued was correlated to the type of investor. Purchasers and bridge note investors who participated in the private placement received Series M warrants to purchase 50% of the A Preferred as converted shares that they received in the private placement, and 100% if they invested $3,500,000 or more (the Lead Investor) in the purchase of A Preferred shares. We issued Series M warrants to purchase an aggregate 12,386,180 shares of common stock to investors in the private placement and to our bridge loan investors. Those purchasers and bridge loan investors who received Series M warrants also received five year Series M-1 warrants, exercisable at $1.00 per share, entitling them to purchase 50% of the number of our common shares they purchase upon exercise of their Series M warrants. We issued Series M-1 warrants to purchase an aggregate 6,418,090 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share to investors in the private placement and to our bridge loan investors.

The provisions of the certificate of designation of the relative rights and preferences of the A Preferred allow the holder at his election to require us to redeem the A Preferred shares for cash in the event we fail to have a sufficient number of shares of common stock registered as required by the registration statement agreement. Although the A preferred shares are contingently redeemable by the holder, none of the other provisions in the certificate of designations cause them to be classified as a liability under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 150 (SFAS 150). The redemption of the preferred stock is conditional on our ability to register enough shares of common stock for delivery upon conversion of the A Preferred shares. This condition is not in our control and thus requires the instrument to be classified as temporary equity.

As a result of the A Preferred having a conversion feature that was in-the-money on the date of issuance, the A Preferred has a beneficial conversion feature with an intrinsic value of $3,908,165. This is because the shares are convertible into 18,572,360 common shares at a discount of approximately $0.21 per share, representing the difference between the market price of a common share, or $0.55 per common share on June 18, 2007, and the effective conversion price of approximately $0.34. Although the conversion price for the A Preferred is $0.50, we allocated a portion of the value of the proceeds, or $4,426,367, to the attached warrants (we utilized a Black Scholes model to compute the relative fair value of the warrants and considered certain probabilities of the warrants being exercised) to determine the effective conversion price of the A Preferred. Our Black Scholes model used the following assumptions: market price of $0.55, risk free rates ranging from 4.95 to 5.07%, no dividends, expected lives ranging from one to five years, and 90% volatility. The beneficial conversion feature amount was recorded as a preferred stock deemed dividend and was accreted immediately.

The placement agent who arranged the private placement financing received 10% of the cash proceeds we received from the bridge note loans and in the private placement, and five year warrants to purchase 1,857,236 shares of our common stock exercisable at $0.55 per share (10% of the as converted amount of A Preferred shares), and warrants to purchase 641,809 shares of our common stock exercisable at $0.55 per share (5% of the amount of our as exercised Series M warrants). In addition, under an advisory agreement with our placement agent, primarily as compensation for negotiating our recent restructuring transactions (the exchange transaction with PRF and the cancellation of termination of employment agreements with our CEO and chairman, both described in this report, and in connection with the exchange of our outstanding Series H warrants for shares of our common stock and our new Series A warrants, reported in our report on Form 8-K filed on June 12, 2007) we agreed to issue warrants, identical to those issued in the Series A financing, to purchase 2,000,000 shares of our common stock exercisable at $0.55 per share. This warrant was valued at $796,706 using a Black Scholes model with no dividends, a 90% volatility factor, market price of $0.55, a five year life, and a risk free rate of 5.07%. In addition we agreed to exchange our common stock for our outstanding Series E, Series E PA, Series F and Series F PA warrants held by our placement agent, its affiliates or designees, or sub-agents that participated in the Series A Financing. The warrants were valued on the date of the exchange using a Black Scholes model using the exercise prices of the various warrants exchanged, market price of $0.55, no dividends, a 90% volatility factor, and risk free rates ranging from 5.05% to 5.07%. The warrant value, $237,608, was then compared against the corresponding value of the expected 960,059 shares to be issued, $528,032 based on the market value on the date of the exchange, for a net charge of $290,424. The aggregate value of the advisory agreement, or $1,087,130 is included in general and administrative expenses. We also agreed in such advisory agreement that the placement agent will be paid a transaction fee based on the closing of a strategic transaction in the future of 3% of the first $50 million, 2% of the next $50 million up to $100 million, and 1% of aggregate consideration we receive un excess of $100 million. Such advisory agreement will be in effect until June 15, 2008.

Early Extinguishment of Revenue Interest Obligation: In conjunction with the completion of the above equity financing, we entered into the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement (Exchange Agreement) with Paul Royalty Fund, L.P. ("PRF") and PRF exchanged $43,401,000 interest in our future revenues (value as of June 18, 2007) for 500 shares of our new Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (A-1 Preferred) and 500 shares of our of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (A-2 Preferred), each share having a liquidation preference of $10,000. The aggregate $10,000,000 stated value of the A-1 and A-2 Preferred can be converted to common stock at conversion rates of $0.50 and $5.00 per share, respectively, or an aggregate of 11,000,000 common shares on an as converted basis for both the A-1 and A-2 Preferred. Our earlier agreements with PRF were cancelled and PRF’s liens were therefore removed from our intellectual property.

Our Exchange Agreement with PRF also provided for the following:

 
·
Reimbursement of PRF for its legal expenses;

 
·
Resignations of our chairman and chief executive officer, and the execution by us and our Chairman and chief executive officer of agreements canceling the termination of employment agreements we entered into with our chairman and chief executive officer in 2002. Such termination of employment agreements required us to make payments to our chairman and chief executive officer based upon a multiple of their five year average annual salaries, as they are defined in those 2002 agreements, if we terminate their employment with us. The cancellation agreements are described below;

 
·
Resignation of five of our seven directors, the election of new directors with one designee from PRF, and the election of our President, Dr. Costa Papastephanou, as our new chief executive officer.
 
On June 21, 2007, Costa Papastephanou was named our CEO and also elected to our Board of Directors. Dr..Papastephanou has been employed by us since February 2001 as our president and chief operating officer. Mark Eisenberg, Steven Lilien, and Allen Schiff resigned as directors on June 21, 26, and 27, 2007, respectively. Drs. Lilien and Schiff were members of our audit and compensation committees. Also pursuant to such agreement, on June 22, 2007, the resignations of Ron Lipstein, our former CEO, and Steven Katz, our former chairman, as directors became effective. Dr. Katz was a member of our compensation committee.

On June 29, 2007 the Board of Directors resolved that the Board should consist of six directors and elected Shepard M. Goldberg, Mark N.K. Bagnall and John R. Leone to fill the vacancies created by the recent resignations of five of our directors. Mr.Leone was designated as a director by PRF.

The provisions of the certificates of designation of the relative rights and preferences of A-1 and A-2 Preferred shares allow the holder at his election to require us to redeem shares of the A-1 and A-2 Preferred for cash in the event we fail to have a sufficient number of shares of common stock registered as required by the registration statement agreement. Although the A-1 and A-2 preferred shares are contingently redeemable by the holder, none of the other provisions in the certificates of designations cause them to be classified as a liability under SFAS 150. The redemption of the A-1 and A-2 preferred stock is conditional on our ability to register enough shares of common stock for delivery upon conversion of the A-1 and A-2 preferred stock. This condition is not in our control and thus requires the instrument to be classified as temporary equity.

As a result of the A-1 Preferred having a conversion feature that was in-the-money on the date of issuance it has a beneficial conversion feature with an intrinsic value of $500,000. This is because the shares are convertible into 10,000,000 common shares at a discount of approximately $0.05 per share, representing the difference between the market price of a common share, or $0.55 per common share on June 18, 2007, and the effective conversion price of approximately $0.50. The beneficial conversion feature amount was recorded as a preferred stock deemed dividend and was accreted immediately. We recorded the A-1 and A-2 preferred at their respective fair value based on the value of the conversion shares for the A-1 preferred and based on the value of a bond with similar characteristics for the A-2 preferred.
 
We recorded a gain on the early extinguishment of the revenue interest obligation of $35,527,695.

Cancellation Agreements: As required by the terms of the Exchange Agreement with PRF, we entered into Cancellation Agreements with our former chief executive officer (CEO) and our former chairman canceling termination of employment agreements we entered into with them in 2002. Such termination of employment agreements required substantial payments we would have to make to them in the event of the involuntary termination of their employments with us. Under such Cancellation Agreements we made initial payments of $235,000 and $65,000, respectively, to them (including $25,000 to each as part of the consideration for cancellation of the deferred compensation we owed them). They surrendered options to purchase an aggregate of 508,909 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $3.75 to $54.00 per share. Thirty days after we receive the first response from the FDA to our pre-market application for clearance to make commercial sales of ORCEL to treat venous stasis ulcers (the FDA’s 100 Day Letter), we will pay them $90,000 and $45,000, respectively. Seven months after we receive the FDA’s 100 Day Letter we will pay them $190,000 and $75,000, respectively. The post 100 Day Letter payments of $90,000 and $45,000, respectively, will be accelerated in certain events. Our former CEO and our former chairman received five-year warrants to purchase 2,105,819 and 2,051,798 shares, respectively, of our common stock at $0.55 per share. These share amounts will increase by 3 ½ % of any shares in excess of 27,858,540 shares of common stock which we are required to issue upon conversion of A Preferred shares and upon exercise of Series A warrants which we may hereafter sell. We will also issue additional five year warrants to each of them entitling them to purchase so many shares of our common stock equal to 3½ % of the number of shares of our common stock we issue, or are required to issue upon conversion or exercise of securities we issue, in the period ending 30 days after (and if) we publicly announce that we have received FDA clearance for commercial sales of our ORCEL product for the treatment of venous leg ulcers: (i) in financings in which we receive up to $6,300,000 and (ii) to our creditors in satisfaction of our obligations to them in excess of the number of shares we issue in such period in satisfaction of $3,000,000 of debt we owe. The additional warrants we may issue to our CEO and chairman will also be exercisable at $0.55 per common share. Our former CEO and our former chairman agreed to cancel all their presently held options and warrants to purchase our common stock.

We owed deferred compensation to our former CEO and our former chairman of $233,300 and $366,221, respectively. Our former chairman and our former CEO agreed to cancel these obligations and all other obligations ($23,981) we owed them in exchange for payments of $25,000 each and an option to purchase 12 of our A Preferred shares for our former CEO and 8 of our A Preferred shares for our former chairman (liquidation preference of $10,000 per share), plus the number of Series A, M, and M-1 warrants they would have received if they had purchased such A Preferred shares for the $10,000 per share price paid by the investors in our most recent private placement. Such options are exercisable at $100 per A Preferred share (plus the percentage of Series A, M and M-1 warrants comparable to the percentage that the purchased A Preferred share(s) has to the total of A Preferred shares that could be purchased upon the full exercise of the option.) The option expires thirty days after, and if, we publicly announce FDA clearance for sale of our ORCEL product to treat venous stasis ulcers.

We determined the value of the warrants utilizing a Black Scholes model, lives equivalent to either the term of the warrant or the remaining terms of the options surrendered, no dividends, risk free rates ranging from 4.95% to 5.07% depending on the lives of the warrants or options, and a 90% volatility factor. The market price of our common stock was $0.55 on June 18, 2007.

Other significant aspects of the private placement and financing transactions were:

 
·
We are required to file a registration statement by September 17, 2007 for the shares of our common stock (a) into which the A Preferred and the A-1 Preferred shares can be converted and (b) issuable upon exercise of our Series M warrants. We are required to have such registration statement declared effective within 150 days of filing. If we fail to file on time we will pay liquidated damages in cash of 2% of the Holders initial investment in the A Preferred shares and the stated value of the A-1 Preferred shares. If the filing is not declared effective by the 150th day following the filing date we will pay 1% of that amount for each month of delay. If we are limited by the SEC as to the number of shares we can register pursuant to SEC Rule 415, the 1% fee will be applied only to those shares that could have been registered. In either case our liquidated damages are capped at 24% in the aggregate.

 
·
The exercise prices of the warrants and the conversion price of the Series A and A-1 Preferred will be adjusted downward (full-ratchet anti-dilution protection) for any equity issuances (other than permitted issuances) hereafter made by us at a price lower than the conversion price of the preferred stock or the exercise price of the warrants. Such full ratchet protection will cease and become standard weighted average anti-dilution protection 30 days after, and if, we publicly announce that we were successful in obtaining FDA clearance for commercial sale of ORCEL for the treatment of venous stasis ulcers.

 
·
Subject to a registration statement being in effect or Rule 144 (k) being available for public sale of the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the A Preferred shares (a) if the closing bid price of the our common stock is equal to or greater than $1.50 for ten (10) consecutive trading days, 1/3 of the A Preferred stated value shall automatically convert into shares of our common stock; (b) if the closing bid price is equal to or greater than $2.00 for ten (10) consecutive trading days then such portion of the A Preferred liquidation preference shall automatically convert into shares of our common stock so that, together with the earlier automatic conversion, 2/3 of the original stated value shall have converted, and (c) if the closing bid price of our common stock is equal to or greater than $3.00 for ten (10) consecutive trading days then all of the A Preferred stated value not theretofore converted shall automatically convert into shares of our common stock.

·
Beginning June 18, 2008, the Series A Warrants may be exercised pursuant to a cashless exercise if the common stock underlying the warrants are not included for public sale in an effective registration statement.

 
·
With the exception of $3,000,000 of securities issued prior to December 31, 2007 used to settle trade payables, ranking pari passu with the A, A-1, and A-2 Preferred shares and issuable only if the FDA clearance for commercial sale of ORCEL for treatment of venous stasis ulcers has not yet been obtained, as long as $2,000,000 of stated valued of the A and A-1 Preferred shares remain outstanding we are prohibited from issuing any securities that rank senior to or pari passu with the A, A-1, and A-2 Preferred shares without the approval of at least 50% of the A Preferred shares and the A-1 Preferred shares outstanding, voting together as one class.

 
·
As long as the A Preferred shares are outstanding, the Lead Investor will receive the right for the next two years to purchase up to 40% of the securities being offered in subsequent financings (as defined) on the terms being offered in such future financings.

 
·
As long as A and A-1 Preferred shares are outstanding, and as long as we have not received FDA clearance for commercial sale of ORCEL for treatment of venous stasis ulcers, the holders may exchange their preferred shares at their stated values for equity securities which have more favorable terms that we sell in a future financing.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Delisting: On April 22, 2007, our common stock was delisted from the Over the Counter Bulletin Board and moved to the Pink Sheets. Such delisting was a result of our failure to timely file our Form 10-KSB as a result of all our resources being focused on capital funding issues. See Note 9 for information about our common stock being relisted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.

NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Series A Financing: On July 25 and July 31, 2007, we completed two additional closings of private placement sales of our A Preferred shares. In connection with these closings we sold 263.05 A Preferred shares with attached warrants to a group of accredited investors for additional gross cash proceeds of $2,630,500. These shares are convertible into 5,261,000 shares of our common stock. The attached warrants received by the purchasers consisted of our five-year Series A warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,630,000 additional shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share, and our Series M warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,630,500 shares of our common stock at $0.50 per share. The Series M warrants are exercisable at any time until thirty days after (and if) we have announced receipt of written notice from the FDA clearing our right to sell ORCEL for the treatment of venous stasis ulcers. Those purchasers who received Series M warrants also received five year Series M-1 warrants, exercisable at $1.00 per share, entitling them to purchase 50% of the number of our common shares they purchase upon exercise of their Series M warrants, or an aggregate of 1,315,250 shares at $1.00 per share. We paid the placement agent who arranged the A Preferred financing $263,050 and granted it a five-year warrant to purchase 591,863 shares of our common stock at $0.55 per share.

As a result of our private placement sale of these additional A preferred shares, we issued an additional five year warrant to purchase 276,203 shares of our common stock at $0.55 per share to each of our former CEO and our former chairman, under their respective cancellation agreements described in Note 7.
 
H warrant exchange: Holders of our Series H warrants to purchase 541,669 shares of our common stock at $.01 exchanged their Series H warrants for the same number of shares of our common stock and for Series A warrants to purchase 135,414 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share.

Relisting: On August 9, 2007, our common stock was relisted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board after we filed all our delinquent reports with the SEC.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Ortec International, Inc.
New York, New York
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Ortec International, Inc. (a development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and for the period from March 12, 1991 (inception) to December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. 
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, based on our audit, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ortec International, Inc. at December 31, 2006, and the results of the Company’s operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and for the period from March 12, 1991 (inception) to December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company incurred a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $18.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, and, as of that date, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $43.5 million, its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $42.6 million and the Company has a deficit accumulated in the development stage of $179.1 million. These factors, among others, as discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
As discussed in Note 1 of the financial statements, the Company restated its financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005. Also, as described in Note 2, in 2006 the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (R), “ Share Based Payment”, utilizing the modified prospective transition method.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 - FORMATION OF THE COMPANY, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RESTATEMENT

Formation of the Company       

Ortec International, Inc. ("Ortec" or the "Company") was incorporated in March 1991 as a Delaware corporation to secure and provide funds for the further development of the technology developed by Dr. Mark Eisenberg of Sydney, Australia, to replicate in the laboratory, a tissue engineered skin substitute for use in skin regeneration procedures (the "Technology"). Pursuant to a license agreement dated September 7, 1991, Dr. Eisenberg had granted us a license for a term of ten years, with automatic renewals by us for two additional ten-year periods, to commercially use and exploit the Technology for the development of products. In April 1998, Dr. Eisenberg assigned his patent for the Technology to us.

The Skin Group, Ltd. (the “Skin Group”) also was formed as a Delaware corporation in March 1991, to raise funds for the development of the Technology. On July 27, 1992, the Skin Group was merged with and into Ortec. Owners of Skin Group shares were given .83672 of an Ortec share for each Skin Group share. The merger was accounted for as if it were a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Skin Group for all periods presented.

Basis of Presentation
 
We are a development stage enterprise which had no operating revenue prior to December 2001. During 2001, we received Food and Drug Administration approval for the use of the fresh form of our ORCEL product for the treatment of patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and for donor sites in burn patients. We began marketing and selling our product for use on patients with one of these indications using a contract sales organization. Our sales and marketing efforts were active only for a brief period and accordingly our revenues were not significant. We terminated our sales efforts and elected to focus our attention on completing development of a cryopreserved form of our product for treatment of chronic wounds affecting larger patient populations. As a result, we completed a clinical trial during 2003 for the use of the cryopreserved form of ORCEL to treat venous stasis ulcers and filed an application for Pre-Market Approval (PMA) with the FDA in February 2004. In a letter dated April 25, 2005, although the FDA concluded that cryopreserved ORCEL showed promise for the effective treatment of venous stasis ulcers, the FDA determined that additional data would be necessary to confirm cryopreserved ORCEL’s effectiveness and safety treating venous stasis ulcers. The clinical data from the pivotal trial of 136 patients submitted to the FDA showed that in 60 patients who had typical venous ulcers (defined as those ulcers with partial or full-thickness ulcers in which the wound base is visible and the ulcer extends through the dermis but not into the subcutaneous tissue to fascia, muscle or bone), 59% of the ORCEL treated patients achieved wound closure versus 36% of the patients who received the standard of care treatment. The FDA agreed that data of these 60 patients would be combined with that of the 60 patients to be enrolled in a confirmatory clinical trial and the combined results will be analyzed using Bayesian statistics. We obtained FDA approval for our confirmatory trial protocol in mid July 2005 and began the confirmatory trial in mid August 2005. In August 2006, we completed the confirmatory trial designed to confirm the superiority of cryopreserved ORCEL in the treatment of difficult-to-heal venous leg ulcers in comparison to the standard of care therapy. On February 26, 2007, we announced that we had initiated the filing of the supplement to our PMA application with the FDA requesting clearance to market our tissue engineered product, ORCEL, for the treatment of venous stasis ulcers, by submitting to the FDA the Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) section of the application. We hope to file the other section of the application, which will report the results of our confirmatory clinical trial, in the third quarter of 2007. Such other section will report the results showing the effectiveness of our ORCEL product - treating venous stasis ulcers as compared with the effectiveness of the current standard of care, the safety of using our product and the labeling we propose to use for our ORCEL product These filings will be amendments to our PMA application filed in February 2004.

We are working with Lonza Walkersville, Inc. (formerly known as Cambrex Bio Science Walkersville, Inc.), a subsidiary of Lonza Corporation (Lonza) to limit expenditures under our manufacturing agreement primarily to those which are essential for obtaining regulatory approval. Together, we are working on process improvements that we expect will drive down the cost of producing ORCEL as we plan for the potential commercial sales of our product. In February 2006, Lonza assisted us financially by agreeing to accept our common stock and warrants in exchange for approximately $800,000 of production suite charges incurred during the first half of 2006. See Note 11.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (SFAS 123(R)) using the modified prospective method of adoption. SFAS 123(R) requires companies to recognize compensation expense for an amount equal to the fair value of the share-based payment issued. Under the modified prospective method, financial statement amounts for prior periods have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of recognizing compensation cost relating to stock options. Refer to Note 13 for further details of the impact of SFAS 123(R).

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We incurred a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $18.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, and, as of that date, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $43.5 million, our total liabilities exceeded our total assets by $42.6 million and we have a deficit accumulated in the development stage of $179.1 million. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

In the fourth quarter of 2006, we agreed on terms which were later incorporated into an agreement (the Exchange Agreement) we entered into with Paul Royalty Fund L.P. (PRF) for the restructuring of our $38,450,000 obligation under our revenue interest assignment agreement. Initially we and PRF agreed that the first $2,000,000 (later amended to $2,800,000) of any amount we had to pay PRF pursuant to our agreements with PRF would be paid to lenders of bridge loans made to us in the October 2006 to May 2007 period. Those bridge loans enabled us to continue our operations while final terms could be determined relating to the restructuring of our obligation to PRF. Such restructuring enabled us to complete a private placement of our equity securities on June 18, 2007. We received bridge loans aggregating $2,899,000 that we had obtained during the period beginning in October 2006 and ending in May 2007. On June 18, 2007, PRF and we entered into the Exchange Agreement which provides for the $38,450,000 liability we owe to PRF to be exchanged for newly created classes of our preferred stock with a stated value of $10,000,000, upon the completion of $8,000,000 of equity financing. Upon securing such financing (which included conversion of all or some of the bridge loans we received to the equity securities we sell in the private placement), the Exchange Agreement required cancellation of termination of employment agreements we have with Messrs. Katz and Lipstein on terms acceptable to them, PRF, and those equity investors in such new equity financing and to the resignation of Messrs. Katz and Lipstein as our officers and directors. The Exchange Agreement and related Cancellation Agreement were consummated with the completion of an $8,000,000 private placement on June 18, 2007. See Note 19.

The terms of the bridge loans and the Exchange Agreement are described in Notes 10 and 19.

As of December 31, 2006, payment of approximately $2,800,000 of the approximately $3,315,000 we owed to our trade creditors was past due.

We expect to incur obligations of approximately $500,000 per month primarily for personnel and rent, insurance, fees to Lonza for technology transfer activities, and our various research and development activities. We will require substantial funding to enable us to continue our research and development activities, pay a portion of our past due obligations, complete the additional clinical trial necessary to obtain PMA for our ORCEL product to treat venous stasis ulcers, and provide for our general and corporate working capital requirements for 2007.

While we have arranged for payment of some of our obligations over a period of time and have to make other payments of past due obligations to our current and ongoing suppliers, our ability to make payments we have agreed to pay to insure continued receipt of needed supplies and to continue reducing our past due obligations, will depend on our ability to secure needed financing or our ability to issue our equity securities in satisfaction of certain obligations.

We hope to obtain additional funds through the sale of our securities in private placements, debt financing or other short-term loans. We may not be able to secure any financing nor may we be able to reach the larger patient population markets of persons with venous stasis ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers, with funds that we may be able to raise. We are also likely to continue to encounter difficulties which are common to development stage companies, including unanticipated costs relating to development, delays in the testing of products, regulatory approval and compliance and competition.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our capital funding requirements depend on numerous factors, including:

 
·
the progress and magnitude of our research and development programs;
 
 
·
the time involved in obtaining regulatory approvals for the commercial sale of our ORCEL product in its cryopreserved form to treat venous stasis ulcers and, later, diabetic foot ulcers;
 
 
·
the costs involved in filing and maintaining patent claims;
 
 
·
technological advances;
 
 
·
competitive and market conditions;
 
 
·
the successful implementation of the agreements we have entered into with Lonza for manufacturing and sales of our ORCEL product;
 
 
·
our ability to establish and maintain other collaborative arrangements and
 
 
·
the cost and effectiveness of commercialization activities and arrangements.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand at December 31, 2006, approximately $13,000, together with funds we have raised and will need to raise in 2007, may enable us to continue our operations for the next twelve months. There can be no assurances that we can raise additional funds. See Note 19 regarding funding made subsequent to December 31, 2006.

These financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Successful future operations depend upon the successful development and marketing of our ORCEL product. Historically we have funded our operating losses by periodically raising additional sources of capital. If additional funding is not available to us when needed, we may not be able to continue operations. No adjustments have been made to the accompanying financials as a result of this uncertainty.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Common Stock Reserve Split

On June 24, 2003, we effected a reverse stock split of our common shares outstanding, whereby every stockholder, warrant and option holder, was granted one new common share or warrant or option to purchase common shares, for every ten outstanding common shares (or its equivalent). The par value of the common shares remained unchanged at $.001 per share. The exercise prices of all warrants and options outstanding were adjusted as a result of this reverse split. The conversion rates of the preferred stock outstanding were also adjusted.

On July 24, 2006, we effected another reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock, whereby every stockholder received one new share of common stock for every fifteen shares previously owned. All share and per share data in these financial statements have been adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split. The par value of the common stock remained unchanged at $.001 per share. The exercise prices of all our warrants and options outstanding were adjusted as a result of this reverse split. The conversion rates of the preferred stock outstanding were also adjusted because of this reverse split.

Reclassification

Certain 2005 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2006 presentation.

Restatement

During the fourth quarter of 2006, we received a comment letter from the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance (“Staff”) relating to a routine review of our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 and Form 10-QSB/A for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. In the course of responding to the Staff’s comments, we reviewed the accounting treatment for the various transactions under review. We determined that certain of these transactions, specifically our accounting for the Series C preferred stock exchange in the first quarter of 2005 and our accounting for the reduction in Series E warrant prices to $0.001 in relation to the issuance of promissory notes in the second quarter of 2005 were incorrect. As a result of this review, on December 26, 2006, after discussion with our independent registered accounting firm, BDO Seidman, LLP (“BDO”), and consultation with our Audit Committee, we concluded that we should restate our financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March, June, and September, 2005, and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 to reflect these changes.

A summary of significant effects of the restatement follows:

An additional $4,227,474 deemed dividend was recorded in the first quarter of 2005 to reflect the excess of the fair value of the common stock over the fair value of the Series C preferred stock exchanged as part of our January 5, 2005 private placement. We determined that this adjustment was necessary under EITF Topic D-42. Topic D-42 requires that if convertible preferred stock is converted to other securities pursuant to an inducement offer, we should record the excess of 1) the fair value of all securities transferred to the Series C holders over 2) the fair value of securities issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms as a reduction of net earnings to arrive at net loss available to common shareholders.  Though we accounted for the fair value of the warrants as a deemed dividend on the day of the transaction we did not account for the excess of the fair value of the common shares transferred over the fair value of the securities issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms of the Series C.

In the second quarter of 2005 a $2,212,436 charge for the Series E warrant price reduction which we determined to be a financing cost of our promissory note issuance and originally recorded as “Preferred stock and warrants deemed dividends and discounts” was reversed and recorded as a debt discount for the same amount. Since the repricing of the warrants is related to the issuance of debt we believe the amount should have been recorded as a debt discount on the day of issuance and amortized to financing expense over the life of the debt.  We originally recorded this amount as a deemed dividend. This debt discount was then amortized to interest expense as follows: $154,698 in the second quarter of 2005, $1,315,671 in the third quarter of 2005, and the balance of $742,067 in the fourth quarter of 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2005 this reclassification to interest expense had no net effect on our net loss applicable to common shareholders. An additional $4,227,474 deemed dividend was recorded in the first quarter of 2005 to reflect the excess of the fair value of the common stock over the fair value of the Series C preferred stock exchanged as part of our January 2005 private placement and increased net loss per share from ($14.00) to ($15.64).

2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

Product revenue is recognized upon shipment of ORCEL when title and risk of loss pass to the customer, which occurs when the end user customer receives the product. Royalties from licensees will be based on third-party sales of licensed products and will be recorded in accordance with contract terms when third-party results are reliably measurable and collectibility is reasonable assured. Fees paid to us upon entering a license agreement are recognized when earned as defined by the terms of the agreement.

In accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, we review each contract to determine if there are multiple revenue-generating activities that constitute more than one unit of accounting. Revenue is recognized for each unit of accounting based on revenue recognition criteria relevant to that unit. Up-front payments are deferred, if appropriate, and recognized into revenues over the obligation period.

Research and Development Costs

We are in the business of research and development and therefore, all research and development costs, including payments relating to products under development, research, consulting agreements and personnel costs, are expensed when incurred. Research and Development costs aggregated $8,179,780 and $7,535,532, for the years ending 2006 and 2005 respectively. Research and Development costs are comprised of production and laboratory costs which are inclusive of clinical trial expenditures, rent, consulting, personnel, and depreciation and amortization expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less any grants received for construction. In 1996, we received a $400,000 grant toward the construction of our new laboratory and office facilities and we received an additional grant of $130,000 in 1998.

Office furniture and equipment and laboratory equipment are depreciated on the straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the assets (5 years). Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the related lease or the life of the asset.

Intangible Assets

Our intangible assets consist of patent application costs. We amortize these separately identifiable assets over their estimated useful lives. Patent application costs relate to our U.S. patent application and application fees in foreign jurisdictions and consist of legal and other direct fees. The recoverability of the patent application costs is dependent upon, among other matters, obtaining further FDA approvals for the use of the underlying technology.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets, which consist of fixed assets and patent application costs, for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We have determined, based on estimated future cash flows, that no provision is necessary for the impairment of long-lived assets at December 31, 2006.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Foreign Currency Translation

We conducted some of our research and development at our laboratory in Sydney, Australia. However, because all Australian expenditures were funded from the United States, we determined that the functional currency of our Australian office was the U.S. dollar. As of December 31, 2002, we terminated all of our research and development activities at our laboratory in Sidney. Additionally, with the acquisition of Hapto Biotech in April 2006 we acquired an Israeli operating facility. Accordingly, current assets and current liabilities are remeasured into the functional currency using current exchange rates and non-current assets and liabilities are remeasured using historical exchange rates. Expense accounts are measured using the average rate in effect for the year.

Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for as it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist principally of money market funds. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates the recorded amount because of the short-term maturity of such instruments.

Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per common share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods.

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the weighted-average common shares outstanding plus the potential dilutive effect of securities or contracts which are convertible to common shares, such as options, warrants and convertible preferred stock. Basic and diluted loss per share includes warrants to purchase 811,333 shares of common stock, exercisable at $.015 per share reflected as outstanding from the date of grant.

Options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock, except as otherwise noted above, were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share in each of the years presented because to do so would have been antidilutive for the periods presented.

Additionally, the effects of conversion of the preferred stock were excluded from the weighted average share calculation, as the effect would be antidilutive. An aggregate of 1,586,297 and 1,672,538 shares of common stock would be issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

Share Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (SFAS 123(R)) using the modified prospective method of adoption. SFAS 123(R) requires companies to recognize compensation expense for an amount equal to the fair value of the share-based award issued. Under the modified prospective method, financial statement amounts for prior periods have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of recognizing compensation cost relating to stock options.

Prior to the adoption, we accounted for stock option plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25). Compensation expense was not recognized for employee stock options because they were granted with strike prices that were not less than the fair market value of our stock on the date of the grant. Compensation expense was recorded for other share-based payments primarily including performance shares and deferred compensation.

The weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was estimated at $0.64 and $4.95, respectively using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model used the following assumptions:

Volatility

4.41- 5.01
%
 
3.84- 4.51
%
Expected life
   
5 years
   
7 years
 
 
The fair value of each of our stock option awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options, which is generally four years. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock with reasonable assumptions regarding projected future events. The risk-free rate of interest for periods within the contractual life of the stock option award is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the award. We use historical data to estimate forfeitures within our valuation model. The expected life of our stock option awards is derived from historical experience and represents the period of time that awards are expected to be outstanding.

There remains approximately $44,000 of unrecognized compensation cost from stock options already granted under the plan, which is related to unvested shares and is being recognized over the required service period, generally four years.

For stock warrants or options granted to non-employees we measure fair value of the equity instruments utilizing the Black Scholes method if that value is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the consideration or the service received. We amortize such cost over the related period of service.

Effect of New Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (SAB 108). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The SEC staff believes that registrants should quantify errors using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB 108 is effective for us for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (FIN 48), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on the derecognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2007. We do not believe this will have a material effect on our financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value that is based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information to develop those assumptions. Additionally, the standard expands the disclosures about fair value measurements to include disclosing the fair value measurements of assets or liabilities within each level of the fair value hierarchy. SFAS 157 is effective starting on January 1, 2008, with an early adoption date of January 1, 2007.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits companies the option, at specified election dates, to measure financial assets and liabilities at their current fair value, with the corresponding changes in fair value from period to period recognized in the income statement. Additionally, SFAS 159 establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective starting on January 1, 2008, with an early adoption date of January 1, 2007.

In December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 00-19-2 Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements (FSP 00-19-2). This FSP specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. This FSP further clarifies that a financial instrument subject to a registration payment arrangement should be accounted for in accordance with other applicable generally accepted accounting principles without regard to the contingent obligation to transfer consideration pursuant to the registration payment arrangement. This FSP is effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the financial instruments subject to those arrangements that are entered into or modified subsequent to the date of issuance of this FSP. For registration payment arrangements and financial instruments subject to those arrangements that were entered into prior to the issuance of this FSP, this guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We have early adopted the FSP as of October 1, 2006 and as a result we reclassed $1,119,834 from temporary equity to permanent equity. We do not expect it to have any other affect on our financial statements.

3 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

We maintain cash and money market accounts primarily at two financial institutions located in New York City. The FDIC insures cash accounts for amounts up to $100,000. At times, our balances exceed such FDIC limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts.

4 - PURCHASED IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

On April 14, 2006, we closed our acquisition of Hapto Biotech (Hapto), a privately-held company focused on the development of two proprietary fibrin derived platform technologies: Fibrin Micro Beads (FMB’s) and Fibrin based peptides, (Haptides). Hapto’s research indicates that FMB’s have the ability to optimize the recovery, potential delivery and therapeutic value of adult stem cells. In October 2004, we initiated our relationship with Hapto by forming a joint venture to combine our proprietary collagen biomaterial technology and Hapto’s Haptide peptide technology to develop non cellular, biologically active enhanced biomaterials to promote the attraction and attachment of cells for wound healing, reconstructive, cosmetic, tissue regeneration and dental applications. Both of these technologies were early stage nascent technologies which we purchased understanding that additional research and development investment was necessary (pre-clinical efficacy studies are still in process). We believed that the Haptides and the FMB’s will eventually produce some long term licensing opportunities in the areas enumerated above. The sole purpose of the acquisition was to acquire the technologies. The acquisition essentially consisted of a few patents covering the formulation of the FMB’s and Haptides, minimal bench laboratory equipment, and three full time employees consisting of one scientist and two lab technicians. We determined that there was minimal value associated with the acquired patents due to the early stage of the technology. Additionally we believed that the acquired employees knowledge was transferable and our continuing research and development would be supervised by our Chief Scientist and other Ortec employees. We believe that due to the early stages of the development of Hapto’s technology, that the Hapto assets we acquired do not constitute a business. In addition, at the date of acquisition, the technological feasibility of the acquired technology had not yet been established and the technology has no future alternative uses. For such acquisition we issued a net total of 2,031,119 shares (net of 26,214 shares of common stock returned from escrow) of our common stock to the Hapto shareholders and granted them warrants to purchase an additional 200,000 shares of our common stock at $4.50 per share. On May 3, 2006, 26,214 shares of our common stock was returned from escrow by certain former shareholders of Hapto Biotech, Inc. because of $126,614 of legal expenditures we paid which were owed by Hapto, and which Hapto and we agreed exceeded the permitted amount of Hapto liabilities surviving our acquisition of Hapto. The investment banking firm of Rodman and Renshaw, LLC (R&R) acted as our advisor in this acquisition. R&R received three-year warrants to purchase 266,667 shares of our common stock at $4.50 per share for their advisory services. Based on the market price of our common stock on April 14, 2006, and valuing the warrants we issued to Hapto’s shareholders as well as those issued to our investment advisor using the Black Scholes formula, the purchase price for Hapto was $10,694,571. The purchase price allocation which includes the purchase price of $10,694,571; together with legal and other charges of $223,824, and negative goodwill of $155,348, for a total of $11,073,743, was recorded as purchased in-process research and development, and accordingly, expensed immediately. The Black Scholes model used to calculate the value of the warrants to the Hapto shareholders and R & R utilized the following factors: a three year term, risk-free rate of 3.73%, 86% volatility and no dividend yield. In connection with this acquisition we contract certain research services from Hadasit Medical Research Services and Development Ltd. (Hadasit). One of our directors, serves as managing director of Hadasit.

Our U.S. patent for CCS was issued in 1994. During 2002 and 2003 we were issued two patents by the United States Patent Office. The first patent covers unique manufacturing processes for our tissue-engineered product, ORCEL. These processes specifically relate to the manufacturing of our bi-layered collagen sponge structure and when implemented, can reduce the current manufacturing costs of ORCEL. This patent was issued on December 31, 2002. The second patent covers the freezing process for ORCEL. This process, referred to as cryopreservation, gives our product a minimum shelf life of seven months, as opposed to only a few days when our product is not cryopreserved. This second patent was issued on October 28, 2003. 

There can be no assurance that any patent will provide commercial benefits to us. We have determined that no provision for impairment is necessary at December 31, 2006.

We have granted a security interest in our United States and Canadian patents and trademarks relating to ORCEL to collateralize payments we will be required to make to satisfy our obligation under a Revenue Interest Assignment Agreement (see Note 9).

8 - LEASES

Lease with Columbia University: In March 1996, we entered into a five-year lease for our laboratory and offices in Columbia University’s Audubon Biomedical Science and Technology Park in New York City. Construction of the laboratory and office facility was completed in July 1996 and became fully operational in November 1996. We utilize our laboratory facilities to produce ORCEL for research and development activities including cell expansion and biomaterial research. 

Second Amendment of Lease: On December 18, 2003, we amended the lease agreement with Columbia University, extending the lease term to December 2005. With this amendment, we agreed to pay Columbia University $25,588 a month for past due rent commencing on February 1, 2004 and ending on December 31, 2005.

Third Amendment of Lease: On March 16, 2006 we agreed to a two-year lease extension of the aforementioned lease agreement until December 31, 2007 at our 14,320 square foot New York City lab and office facility location commencing January 1, 2006. We agreed to a monthly rental of $60,860 or $730,320 per annum. We will have the option to renew for an additional two years at the rate of $63,843 per month, or $766,120 annually. At December 31, 2006 we were in arrears with respect to payments on this lease. See Note 19.

New Jersey Lease Termination: On August 5, 2002, we reached an agreement with the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) to terminate a 2001 lease and to enter into a new lease covering production and office space. Monthly payments under such lease began on January 1, 2003. On June 9, 2003 NJEDA and we executed an agreement to terminate this lease. Based on the terms of this settlement, a termination cost of $978,000 was agreed upon. This termination costs was settled by applying the $623,000 security deposit, plus accrued interest thereon, with the balance of $340,000 paid on June 11, 2003. In 2003, we recorded a lease termination cost of $1,119,166 consisting of the aforementioned $978,000 together with $141,166 of other costs that we incurred in connection with the build-out of the leasehold. We continued to rent space in North Brunswick, New Jersey pursuant to a lease until its expiration on July 31, 2004, at a rent of $2,300 per month.

9 - OBLIGATION UNDER REVENUE INTEREST ASSIGNMENT

On August 29, 2001, as amended February 2003, we entered into a Revenue Interest Assignment Agreement with Paul Royalty Fund L.P. (PRF), which terminates on December 31, 2011. Under such agreement we were eligible to receive $10,000,000 during 2001. We received $6,000,000 during 2001 and the remaining $4,000,000 in January 2002.

In February 2003, PRF and we signed an amendment to the agreement, restating and updating certain provisions of the original agreement, including removing requirements for additional funding to be provided by PRF. In connection therewith, PRF purchased 50 shares of our Series B convertible preferred stock investing $500,000, and for which we issued to PRF 4,872 shares of our common stock and granted PRF warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,334 shares of our common stock, at exercise prices of $225.00 per share for 1,667 shares and at $300.00 per share for the other 1,667 shares. The February 2003 amendments to our agreements with PRF provided, among other things, for (a) the election of one director designated by PRF, (b) the right of one observer (other than such director) selected by PRF to attend and observe all meetings of our Board of Directors and (c) for us to use our best efforts to have independent directors who are acceptable to both us and PRF, including a director designated by PRF, as a majority of our Board of Directors.

In consideration for the $10,000,000, PRF will receive a minimum of 3.33% of the first $100,000,000 of annual sales, plus 1.99% of annual sales in excess of $100,000,000, of ORCEL in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Such percentage may be further adjusted upward or downward, based on the volume of net sales to end users of our products in those three countries. Beginning on January 1, 2003, PRF was entitled to receive each year the first proceeds to us from end user sales of our products in North America. The annual amounts that PRF will be able to draw in advance against the end user sales of our products are $7,500,000 in 2005 through 2011. The agreement provides for quarterly and annual accountings between PRF and us for those advance payments. The purpose of these accountings is to reconcile the advances paid against the actual amount we are required to pay computed on the basis of the aforementioned percentages of sales volume. Based on this reconciliation of the actual calculated amounts versus the advances paid, we will either be required to pay additional amounts or receive a refund of all or a portion of the advances we paid to PRF. We have not paid PRF any advances, as there were no sales during 2003 though 2006. The amounts received from PRF have been classified as debt in accordance with our interpretation of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issues No. 88-18, “Sales of Future Revenue”. PRF bears the risk of revenue interest paid being significantly less than the current revenue interest obligation, as well as the reward of revenue interest paid to it being significantly greater than the current revenue interest obligation. Therefore we are under no obligation to make any other payments to PRF in the scenario when no repurchase right (as defined) is triggered and no significant interest payments are made. Conversely, we will be obligated to continue to make revenue interest payments in the scenario where sales are sufficiently high to result in amounts due under the Revenue Interest Assignment Agreement being in excess of the current revenue interest obligation.

We granted PRF a security interest in our United States and Canadian patents and trademarks relating to our technology for our ORCEL product (collectively, the “Pledged Assets”), to secure payments required to be made by us to PRF under this agreement. Pursuant to the default provisions of the agreement PRF may require us to repurchase their revenue interest at the put option exercise price which is defined as a price which would yield an internal rate of return to PRF of 30%.

The events that could require us to repurchase our revenue interest include:

 
·
any change of control of our company;
 
 
·
a transfer of substantially all of our assets;
 
 
·
a transfer of our interests in our products;
 
 
·
a judicial decision that has a material adverse effect on our business, operations, assets, or financial condition;
 
 
·
the occurrence of any event that has a material adverse effect on our ability to perform our obligations to repurchase the revenue interest obligation;
 
 
·
the acceleration of our obligations or the exercise of default remedies by a secured lender under certain debt instruments; a funding termination event (as defined) such as a bankruptcy event (as defined);
 
 
·
our insolvency (as defined);
 
 
·
the breach of representations, warranties or certifications made by us in the agreements with PRF that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, assets or financial condition, and such breach is not cured within 30 days after notice thereof from PRF.

Additionally we agreed not to issue any new debt or equity securities that contain mandatory cash dividend or redemption provisions through the revenue interest period (ending December 31, 2011).

On December 13, 2004 PRF entered into a forbearance agreement with us agreeing that they cannot exercise their right to compel us to repurchase their interest in our revenues because of our insolvency prior to July 1, 2006 (insolvency is defined as (a) our liabilities, excluding our revenue interest assignment obligation, exceeding the fair market value of our assets or (b) our inability to pay our debts as they become due).

On October 19, 2006, in order to facilitate our ability to raise capital, PRF agreed to extend the period during which PRF waived those defaults by us until January 1, 2007. This forbearance was later extended to May 1, 2007 in connection with the Exchange Agreement signed January 29, 2007. See Note 19. Therefore, as of May 1, 2007 PRF could exercise its option to compel us to repurchase their revenue interest because of our existing defaults under our agreement with PRF.

ORTEC INTERNATIONAL, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As defined in our agreement with PRF we are currently insolvent. As a result of this insolvency our obligation under the revenue interest assignment is stated at $38,450,000, the amount PRF could compel us to repurchase their interest in our revenues at December 31, 2006, had they not entered into a forbearance agreement with us. This amount represents the amount that would give PRF a 30% internal rate of return on their $10,000,000 from the dates of their original investments. Should we continue to be insolvent we will need to continue to incur non-cash interest charges for this obligation. At such time when the default provisions are no longer applicable, the effective interest rate imputed on the obligation will be determined using the interest method and payments to PRF will be recorded as a reduction of our obligation under the revenue interest assignment.

In accordance with accounting promulgated by Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 15, “Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings” (SFAS 15) even if we are no longer insolvent as long as our future cash payments relating to the revenue interest assignment obligation are indeterminate, the revenue interest assignment obligation would remain at the value that achieves the 30% internal rate of return for PRF through the last date of our insolvency. However, we would no longer have to accrue any additional interest to achieve a 30% internal rate of return related to insolvency. That is, we would not reverse the accrual for the insolvency repurchase event even when we are no longer insolvent. At December 31, 2006 the amount of our liability attributed to the insolvency is $28,450,000. Our revenue stream is considered indeterminate since we cannot predict with certainty the payments we will be required to make on this obligation since theoretically our sales are not limited in amount and payments under our agreement with PRF are determined based on future sales. We estimate that we would need to achieve a North American sales level of approximately $1,603,000,000 over the approximate remaining four sales years under the agreement to offset the principal balance of the $38,450,000 revenue interest obligation.

SFAS 15 allows debtors that can predict with certainty the absolute amounts of future cash flow payments to record an immediate gain if the maximum future cash payments are less than the carrying amount of the obligation. In the case where the future cash payments are indeterminate, as ours are considered, the gain is not recognized until the end of the term of the outstanding debt, December 31, 2011, or upon termination. As such, we believe we will likely record a gain on the revenue interest assignment obligation to PRF in 2011 or upon termination, if sooner.

If we were unable to repurchase the revenue interest upon a repurchase event, PRF could foreclose on the Pledged Assets, and we could be forced into bankruptcy. PRF can also foreclose on the Pledged Assets if we remain insolvent (waived until May 1, 2007) or are involved in a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding. No repurchase events or foreclosures have occurred as of December 31, 2006.
 
We also have the option to repurchase PRF’s interest upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company or a complete divestiture by us of our interests in our products, for an amount of cash flows that will generate a 35% internal rate of return to PRF.
 
On December 16, 2004, pursuant to a Special Warrant Offer which reduced the exercise prices of a portion of the 3,334 warrants that PRF received in February 2003 to $15.00 in exchange for the surrender of the balance, warrants to purchase 1,852 shares of our common stock were exercised for which we received $27,889, and warrants to purchase 1,482 shares of our common stock were surrendered to us. As a result of the Special Warrant Offer PRF was considered to have received a deemed dividend of approximately $2,500 based on a Black Scholes calculation considering the valuation of the warrants prior to the December 16, 2004 offering and immediately subsequent to the offering (see Note 11). 

See Notes 1 and 19 regarding the Exchange Agreement with PRF.

.10 - DEBT

Bridge Financing: In March 2006, we received $445,000 in short-term loans. We received two loans for $130,000 and $65,000, respectively, from two of our executive officers. These loans were non-interest bearing and automatically payable from the proceeds of our future financings. $35,000 was repaid on April 6, 2006 with the balance paid from the proceeds of our April 17, 2006 private placement of our equity securities described in Note 12. The third loan for $250,000 bore interest at 8% per annum and was from the investor who had committed to provide us with $1,058,000 by the later of the filing of our pre-market approval application for our confirmatory venous leg ulcer trial, or March 31, 2006. This $250,000 loan automatically converted into the equity securities we issued in our April 2006 private placement at 1.2 times the note’s principal and accrued interest amount. This amounted to $301,333 and we recorded additional interest expense of $51,133. For this amount the investor received 301.333 shares of Series E preferred stock and a Series H warrant to purchase 100,444 shares of our common stock at $7.50 per share. We recorded the fair value of the warrants similar to the other Series H warrants as described in Note 12. Additionally we agreed that since the investor provided us with the funds earlier than was required, upon conversion of such $250,000 loan to our equity securities, we would forego such investor’s remaining commitment to provide us with $808,000 of additional financing, and that the earlier repricing (upon commitment) of our warrants held by such investor would not be affected.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On April 3, 2006, we received a non-interest bearing short-term loan of $45,000 from another of our executive officers which was repaid from our April 17, 2006 private placement plus a $500 transaction fee.

On April 5, 2006, we received a $200,000 short-term loan from a third party due April 30, 2006 to be repaid at 110% of principal plus accrued interest at 8% per annum on the original $200,000 principal balance. We issued a three-year warrant to purchase 3,333 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share to the lender. The warrant was valued at $7,262 utilizing a Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: expected life of 3 years, volatility factor of 86%, risk free rate of 4.79%, and no expected dividend yield. On April 18, 2006, we repaid this note with interest, or $220,778. Accordingly, we charged the $7,262 warrant value to interest expense.

Secured Bridge Financing: During the fourth quarter of 2006 we received bridge loans aggregating $1,060,000. $810,000 of these loans matured on February 28, 2007 and are now due on demand. The loans are repayable at 110% of their $810,000 amount and accrue interest at a default rate of 15% after February 28, 2007. The lenders have the option to convert the notes we issued to them at 125% of the sum of their notes’ face value plus any accrued and unpaid interest into our next private placement. The intrinsic value of this conversion option will be measured using the commitment date fair value of the stock. This will result in our recording a loss on settlement on the note(s) in our 2007 second quarter when the private placement was completed. Additionally, we will issue a warrant to the noteholder exercisable for the number of shares of our common stock based on the amount of the face value of the Note, (the "Bridge Warrant"). The Bridge Warrant will have terms identical to the warrants we issued in the Private Placement, except that the exercise price of the warrants issued to the noteholders will be no more than $1.00 per share. The Bridge Warrants will provide for piggyback registration rights for the shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrant. $110,000 of the $810,000 of loans was from our chairman and chief executive officer. The balance of the loans, which aggregate $250,000, was from a member of our board of directors and an entity that he controls, bear interest at 10% though March 31, 2007 and 15% thereafter. These notes mature November 10, 2007 and provide for automatic conversion into equity securities if we raise an amount sufficient to provide for two years of operating expenses (as determined by our board of directors). See Note 19 regarding the repayment of certain notes and rollover of other notes into our private placement in June 2007.

In February 2003, we, with shareholder approval, increased the authorized amount of our common stock to 200,000,000 shares.

Founders: Pursuant to an agreement between Dr. Eisenberg and the other founders (the “Other Founders”), a business relationship was formed by the founders for the manufacture and sale of products derived from the Technology (the “Business Agreement”). Under the terms of the Business Agreement, Dr. Eisenberg, who was the owner of all of our capital stock (4,000 shares) agreed to license the Technology to us and sell 70% of our shares for a purchase price of $1,000,000 to the Skin Group. Dr. Eisenberg was paid $85,000 in connection with this agreement as reimbursement for his expenses ($35,000 during the period from inception (March 12, 1991) to December 31, 1991 and $50,000 during the year ended December 31, 1992). The Other Founders initially owned all of the stock of the Skin Group (6,358 shares). On July 27, 1992, the Skin Group was merged with and into Ortec.

First private placement: In March 1991, the Skin Group issued, in a private placement, 1,450 shares for $65,000. In June and October 1991, the Skin Group issued an aggregate 994 shares, to a then director of ours (the “Director”) for an aggregate gross proceeds of $250,000.

Second private placement: Commencing in November 1991, the Skin Group issued 530 shares under a second private placement for $750,006. The 530 shares consisted of 354 shares issued during 1991 and 176 issued shares during 1992 for $500,000 and $250,006, respectively.

Stock purchase agreement entered into with the Director: In June 1992, 354 of our shares were sold to the Director for a total purchase price of $499,998. The purchase price was payable in installments and shares and warrants were issued in installments pro rata with the payment of the purchase price. During the years ended December 31, 1992 and 1993, the Director paid $299,998 and $200,000, respectively, and was issued 212 and 142 shares, respectively. In addition, the Director was granted warrants to purchase 531 shares (319 and 213 of which were granted in 1992 and 1993, respectively) at an exercise price of $1,413.75 per share; such warrants were exercised on December 29, 1998.

Further, in connection with the Director’s purchase of the 354 shares, in 1993, the Other Founders granted to the Director options to purchase from them an aggregate of 494 of our shares, at a price of $750 per share. In 1993, the Director exercised such option in part, and purchased 327 shares from the Other Founders at the option price of $750 per share. The remaining balance of such options expired April 15, 1994.

Initial Public Offering: On January 19, 1996, we completed an initial public offering of 8,000 units for aggregate proceeds of $6,000,000. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock, one Class A warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $1,500 and one Class B warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $2,250. As of December 31, 1998, 7,225 Class A warrants were exercised and the balance expired unexercised. The Class B warrants were originally set to expire in January 1999. We extended the expiration date to March 31, 2000. The Class B warrants were subject to redemption by us at $1.50 per warrant. We received gross proceeds of approximately $1,282,000 and $10,823,000 and net proceeds of approximately $1,262,000 and $10,165,000 as a result of the exercise of warrants in 1998 and 1997, respectively.
 
Fifth private placement: In November 1996, we completed a private placement of our securities from which we received gross proceeds of $6,220,797 and net proceeds of approximately $5,733,000 (after deducting approximately $487,000 in placement fees and other expenses of such private placement). We sold 6,394 shares of common stock in such private placement at average prices of $973.50 per share. In addition, we granted five-year warrants to placement agents to purchase such number of shares equal to 10% of the number of shares of common stock sold by such placement agents, exercisable at prices equal to 120% of the prices paid for such shares. Pursuant to the purchasers’ request, we registered all 6,394 shares.

Options and warrants issued for services: During 1992 and 1993, we issued warrants to purchase 44 shares at $1,413.75 per share, and during 1995 we issued warrants to purchase 134 shares at $1,500 per share to members of our Scientific Advisory Board. During 1996 and 1997, we issued warrants to purchase 1,614 shares at $900 to $1,800 per share to the Director and certain others. These warrants expired at various dates through November 2001.

On January 20, 1996, we granted “lock-up warrants” entitling shareholders to purchase an aggregate of 2,594 shares of our common stock at a price of $150 per share. All unexercised warrants expired on January 18, 2000. At different times during 1996, seven persons exercised such warrants and purchased 226 shares of common stock at the $150 per share exercise price. The issuance of such lock-up warrants was in consideration for such shareholders signing lock-up agreements agreeing not to sell or transfer shares of our common stock purchased at prices of $1,350 or more per share until January 20, 1997. At different times during the third quarter of 1997, eight persons exercised such warrants and purchased an aggregate of 141 shares of common stock at the $150 per share exercise price. During 1998, nine persons exercised such warrants and purchased an aggregate of 641 shares of common stock at the $150 per share exercise price. During 1999, five persons exercised such warrants and purchased an aggregate of 94 shares of common stock at the $150 per share exercise price. There were no underwriting discounts or commissions given or paid in connection with any of the foregoing warrant exercises.
 
During the third quarter of 1997, we granted to one person and its seven designees four-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 250 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $1,800 per share. Such warrants were not exercisable until July 18, 1998 and were granted in consideration for consulting services rendered to us.

During the fourth quarter of 1997, we granted to one person and its six designees four-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 250 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $1,800 per share.

During the third quarter of 1997, we granted to one person a one-year warrant to purchase an aggregate of 4 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $1,800 per share. Such warrants were granted in consideration for consulting services rendered to us. The warrant was exercised during 1998.

We recorded consulting expense of approximately $65,000 as a result of these grants during the year ended December 31, 1998.

During the fourth quarter of 1997, we granted five-year warrants to our three executive officers to purchase an aggregate of 1,600 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $1,800 per share. Such warrants were granted in consideration for services rendered to us. The exercise of such warrants was contingent upon the occurrence of certain events, which were considered probable at December 31, 1997. As of December 31, 1998, five of the six events had occurred so that 1,233 of those warrants became vested. As a result, we recorded compensation expense of approximately $80,000 in December 1997 and $1,185,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The balance of the warrants became vested upon the exercise of warrants owned by a director in December 1998 in accordance with the terms of certain compensation provisions as approved by our Board of Directors.

In consideration for services rendered by him as our director in the five-year period from 1992 to 1996 for which he never received compensation, we extended by one year to December 31, 1998 the expiration date of warrants owned by a director to purchase an aggregate of 580 shares, exercisable at $1,413.75 per share. As a result, we recorded compensation expense of approximately $420,000, during the fourth quarter of 1997. All of these warrants were exercised on December 29, 1998.

During the fourth quarter of 1998, we granted five-year options to our three executive officers to purchase an aggregate of 3,472 shares of common stock, at exercise prices ranging from $1,819.50 to $1,866 per share. The exercise of such options was contingent upon the occurrence of certain events. All of these options became vested upon the exercise of warrants owned by a director in December 1998 in accordance with the terms of certain compensation provisions as approved by our Board of Directors. As a result, we recorded compensation expense of approximately $495,000 in December 1998.

Sixth private placement: In December 1998, we completed a private placement of our securities from which we received proceeds of $2,000,000. In addition, we granted three-year warrants to the purchaser to purchase 334 shares at $1,800 per share. We sold 1,333 shares of common stock in such private placement. We allocated the $2,000,000 proceeds amongst the common stock and warrants based upon the relative fair market value of the stock at the date of issuance and the estimated fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We assigned values to the common stock and warrants issued of $1,788,698 and $211,302, respectively.

Seventh private placement: In March 1999, we completed a private placement of 2,594 shares of our common stock to twenty investors from which we received proceeds of $3,405,076. In addition, each investor also received a three-year warrant to purchase 20% of the number of shares of our common stock such investors purchased in such private placement. The prices at which such warrants were exercisable was $1,875 per share for one half, and $2,175 per share for the other half, of the number of shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants. We allocated the $3,405,076 proceeds amongst the common stock and warrants based upon the relative fair market value of the stock at the date of issuance and the estimated fair market value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We assigned values to the common stock and warrants issued to the investors of $3,168,785 and $236,291, respectively. Oscar Gruss & Son, Incorporated (Gruss) acted as placement agent in such private placement. For its services as placement agent, we paid Gruss $272,406 and granted Gruss a five-year warrant to purchase an aggregate of 260 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1,575 per share. The value assigned to the Gruss warrants was $232,000. Other share issuance costs amounted to $106,002.

Eighth private placement: In December 1999, we completed a private placement of 10,909 shares of our common stock to two institutional funds from which we received proceeds of approximately $9,000,000. Share issuance costs amounted to approximately $9,500.

Ninth private placement: In March 2000, we completed a private placement of 444 shares of our common stock to one fund from which we received proceeds of approximately $1,000,000. In addition, we paid a placement agent who introduced us to the fund a fee of approximately $43,400 and granted such placement agent a five year warrant to purchase 18 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2,250 per share. The value assigned to the warrant was $23,000, which was reflected as share issuance costs. Other share issuance costs amounted to $3,200.

Tenth private placement: In September 2000, we completed a private placement of 8,318 shares of our common stock to ten investors from which we received approximately $8,421,000. In addition, we paid the placement agent who introduced us to the investors a fee of approximately $525,400. Other share issuance costs amounted to approximately $46,500.

Options issued for services: In April 2001, we issued options to purchase 400 shares of our common stock, at $1,042.50 per share, to certain professionals. The estimated fair value of $188,080 for such options was charged to general and administrative expenses.

During 2002, we completed a private placement with several investors, in which we raised cash proceeds of $8,200,000, issued convertible preferred shares, issued warrants to purchase common shares and granted common stock as dividends. (See Note 12).

Warrant issued for consulting services: During July 2003, we granted a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares at an exercise price of $30.00 per share to a vendor in consideration for twelve months of consulting services. In accordance with the agreement, 50% of the shares, or 5,000 shares, vested immediately, with the balance vesting upon the six-month anniversary in January 2004. As a result, we recorded expense of $87,000 in 2003 and $94,393 during 2004 representing the value of the additional 5,000 shares which had vested.

Promissory note transactions: In connection with the issuance of $9,776,626 of promissory notes to investors placed in 2003 and 2004, we paid our placement agent a fee equivalent to 3.33 shares for every $1,000 of the promissory notes and recorded this as deferred debt issuance cost which was then amortized over the life of the note to interest expense. An aggregate of 32,589 shares were issued in 2004 consisting of 10,467 shares valued at $287,000 (in 2003) relating to notes placed in 2003 and 22,122 shares valued at $746,202 relating to notes placed in 2004.

On October 27, 2004 holders of $9,206,000 of investor promissory notes agreed to extend the maturity date of their notes from November 5, 2004 to December 31, 2004. In consideration of this extension we increased the interest rate for the fourth quarter of the calendar year to 12% and issued 3,000 common shares for each $1,000,000 of principal amount held, or 27,618 common shares, which we issued in 2005. The modification was not considered significant and thus these shares were valued at $30.00 per share, or $828,540 in the aggregate, and was charged to interest expense in the fourth quarter. These shares were issued in 2005 upon our confirmation of each noteholders’ accredited investor status. In connection therewith, we issued 18,468 shares of common shares and 34.31 shares of our Series D preferred stock (equivalent to 9,150 common shares).

As provided in the promissory notes, if we received $5,000,000 of gross proceeds from a qualified financing, we could elect to prepay the notes and any accrued and unpaid interest in cash or in our stock. See January 2005 private placement discussion below.

Special warrant offer: On November 16, 2004, we made a Special Warrant Offer (SWO) to all holders of our Series B-1, B-2 and C warrants. Such warrants were originally issued in connection with our Series B and C preferred stock financings in November and December 2002 and in February, May and July 2003 (See Note 12). At the time of the SWO there were outstanding and eligible for the SWO: 44,533 and 1,667 Series B-1 warrants exercisable to purchase our common stock at $60.00 and $225.00 per common share, respectively; 36,276 and 1,667 Series B-2 warrants exercisable to purchase our common stock at $75.00 and $300.00 per common share, respectively, and 113,800 Series C warrants to purchase our common stock at $54.00 per common share. Under the terms of the SWO, the holders were entitled to purchase 1/3 of such shares they could otherwise purchase at a reduced exercise price of $25.05 per common share. Concurrently with such exercise they would receive 2/9 of such shares they could otherwise purchase at the reduced exercise price of $0.15 per common share, and they would surrender the right to purchase their remaining 4/9 of such shares they could otherwise purchase. Each warrant holder participating in the SWO received a new warrant to purchase 30% of the common shares acquired by such purchaser in the SWO.

The SWO was concluded December 3, 2004. Holders of 32,786 of our Series B-1 warrants, 28,756 of our Series B-2 warrants, and 107,000 of our Series C warrants participated in the SWO. 

Participation in the offering resulted in aggregate gross proceeds of $1,438,019 consisting of cash proceeds of $1,338,019 and $100,000 relating to the settlement of an existing promissory note obligation. There were no fees paid to our placement agent in connection with the SWO. We issued 33,132 shares of our common stock and 233.8274 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock, which are equivalent to 62,354 shares of common stock. We also issued five-year Series E warrants to the investors to purchase an additional 28,646 shares of our common stock for $27.00 per share.

As a result of the SWO, the warrant holders who participated in the offering were considered to have received a deemed dividend aggregating $1,120,500 based upon a Black Scholes calculation considering the valuation of the warrants prior to the November 16, 2004 offering and subsequent to the offering. We recorded an aggregate deemed dividend of $1,123,000 inclusive of Paul Royalty Fund’s SWO described in Note 9.

January 2005 private placement: On January 5, 2005 we entered into a number of agreements with institutional and accredited investors (collectively, the “purchasers”) that provided us with:

 
·
Gross aggregate cash proceeds of $5,403,302 from the sale of 432,264 shares of our common stock (the “private placement”) to former holders of our Series C preferred shares and other purchasers at $12.50 per share (the “purchase price”) with each receiving a five year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $27.00 per share (Series E warrant) for every two shares purchased. We granted each of the purchasers in the $5,403,302 private placement the right to purchase, within 45 days after the closing date, additional shares of our common stock and our Series E warrants on the same terms as in the private placement in an amount not to exceed 25% of their original cash investment in the private placement; 

 
·
The Series E warrants, with certain exceptions, provide that if we sell shares of our common stock at prices below the exercise prices of those warrants, or issue other securities convertible into, or which entitle the holder to purchase, shares of our common stock, which could result in the sale of our common stock at a price which in effect (taking into consideration the price paid for the convertible security or the warrant or the option) is less than the exercise price of the Series E warrants, then the exercise price of the Series E warrants will be reduced by a portion of the difference between the exercise price and the lower price at which the common stock was, or effectively could be, acquired. That percentage by which the exercise price of the Series E warrants could be reduced depends not only on the lower price at which our common stock was, or could be, acquired, but also by the ratio that the number of shares of our common stock that were, or could be, so acquired bears to the total number of shares of our common stock that would be outstanding after such sale of our common stock, or the conversion of securities convertible into, or the exercise of such warrants or options to purchase, our common stock. We analyzed the warrants in accordance with Emerging Issue Task Force Issue No. 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock” (EITF 00-19) to determine their proper classification as equity.

 
·
All our outstanding Series C preferred shares at January 5, 2005, or approximately 913 Series C preferred shares, with a liquidation preference of $5,476,256 plus accrued and unpaid dividends, an aggregate value of $6,357,104, were exchanged for 508,568 shares of our common stock or equivalent Series D preferred shares (certain shares were issued as a Series D preferred equivalent as described below) and five-year warrants to purchase 254,284 shares of our common stock at $27.00 per share. Upon the exchange, the holders of the Series C preferred shares received a warrant to purchase one share of common stock for each two shares of our common stock they received in the exchange. This exchange was offered to Series C preferred shareholders if they participated in the private placement sale of our common stock for an amount equal to 30% of the liquidation preference amounts of their Series C preferred shares exchanged for our common stock. The Series C holders provided gross cash proceeds of $1,642,877 (30% of $5,476,256) of the $5,403,302 aggregate gross proceeds received by us in the private placement. The conversion of the Series C preferred shares was beneficial to the Series C preferred holders since the original certificate of designations called for conversion using a $30.00 price per share for our common stock. This would have resulted in 211,903 shares being issued with a fair value on January 5, 2005 of $3,019,625. Instead the holders received 508,568 shares consisting of 218,912 shares of common stock, and 289,656 common shares in the form of a Series D preferred equivalent as described above, whose combined value on January 5, 2005 was $7,247,099, and a warrant to purchase 254,284 shares of common stock whose value was determined to be $2,125,974. The warrant value was determined utilizing a Black Scholes pricing model with $14.25 stock price on January 5, 2005, expected life of five years, risk-free rate of 3.73%, volatility factor of 86% with no dividend yield. The excess value of $6,353,448, representing the aggregate value of the shares and warrant ($9,373,073) issued over what would have been issued under the original conversion ($3,019,625), was recorded as a deemed dividend to the Series C preferred holders.

 
·
As a result of our receipt of over $5,000,000 in the private placement we could and did elect to repay $9,626,626 (principal balance outstanding at January 5, 2005) of our outstanding promissory notes, accrued interest of $674,587 and an added 20% premium, in all $12,361,456, by issuing to each noteholder so many shares of common stock equal to the principal, accrued interest and premium of each divided by the $12.50 purchase price. Each noteholder also received a Series E warrant for each common share received, or 988,917 Series E warrants. We recorded a loss on settlement of $10,328,199 in connection with this transaction consisting of the 20% premium of $2,060,243 and the value of the 988,917 warrants which was $8,267,956. The warrant value was determined utilizing a Black Scholes pricing model with $14.25 stock price on January 5, 2005, expected life of five years, risk-free rate of 3.73%, volatility factor of 86% with no dividend yield.

Purchasers, Series C Holders and holders of the Notes whose participation in these transactions would result in ownership of common stock in excess of 9.99% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock could elect to receive instead of our common stock, shares of our Series D convertible preferred stock convertible into the same number of shares of our common stock.

We issued an aggregate 1,181,384 shares of common stock, 2,806.37 shares of Series D preferred stock (convertible into 748,364 shares of common stock), and five-year Series E warrants to purchase 1,459,333 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $27.00 per share, as a result of these transactions.

Four investors exercised their additional right to purchase shares within 45 days on the same terms as the placement, and we received gross proceeds of $127,719. We issued 10,217 shares and five year warrants to purchase 5,109 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $27.00 per share for such additional investments by these four investors.

After January 5, 2007, subject to a registration statement then being effective for the common stock underlying the warrants, the warrants may be redeemed by us, if our common stock closes above $54.00 for ten consecutive trading days. The warrants contain cashless exercise as well as customary anti-dilution provisions.

In connection with these transactions, we paid Burnham Hill Partners, a division of Pali Capital (“BHP”), our placement agent, commissions consisting of cash equaling 10% of the $5,403,302 of gross cash proceeds we received from the private placement. The placement agent and its assigns received warrants to purchase 181,892 shares of our common stock exercisable at $14.25 per share. We paid $86,872 in legal and accounting expenses in connection with the private placement. At any time within three years after the date of the placement, we will pay the placement agent cash equal to 6% of the gross proceeds received by us from the exercise of the warrants issued to the investors who purchased shares of common stock for cash in the private placement. We also entered into an agreement under which the placement agent provided financial advisory services to us through September 30, 2005, for a fee of $250,000. The fee was amortized over the period of service. The agreement provided that payment of such fee would be deferred until our cash balance exceeds $10,000,000. Pursuant to a new advisory agreement dated September 23, 2005, we agreed that the placement agent may apply all or a portion of the $250,000 Advisory Fee as purchase price for the common stock and common stock purchase warrants sold in the financing which we closed October 12, 2005.

Series B conversion: In accordance with an agreement dated May 23, 2003 amongst the holders of Series B preferred stock which provided for conversion of our outstanding Series B preferred stock should all of the holders of Series C preferred stock convert their preferred shares to common stock (which occurred at the January 5, 2005 closing as described above), Paul Royalty Fund, the sole remaining holder of Series B preferred stock, converted its 50 shares of Series B preferred stock into 14,710 shares of common stock, which included common shares for $51,616 in accrued dividends.

February 2005 private placement On February 9, 2005, we completed a private placement with one investor from which we received aggregate gross proceeds of $100,000. We issued to the investor 8,000 shares of our common stock and a five-year warrant to purchase 4,000 shares of our common stock at $27.00 per share. We paid our placement agent 10% of the gross proceeds and a five-year warrant to purchase 1,200 shares of our common stock exercisable at $14.25 per share. We incurred legal expenses of $3,727 for this transaction.

We had undertaken to register all shares of our common stock in our January 5 and February 9, 2005 private offerings as well as all shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of all the warrants and conversion of Series D preferred stock issued in the January 5, 2005 offering, within 10 days after filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which Form 10-KSB we filed on March 31, 2005. In April 2005, in consideration for the waiving of penalties we would have to pay for failure to file our registration statement at a date no later than April 13, 2005, we entered into agreements with our Series E Warrant holders who purchased our common stock and received registration rights in our January 5 and February 9, 2005 private offerings, to modify the exercise price of their Series E Warrants from $27.00 to $22.50. Utilizing a Black Scholes valuation model we recorded a deemed dividend to these warrant holders of $67,217. Such value was determined utilizing a model with a stock price of $9.15, expected life of five years, risk free rate of 3.99%, volatility of 86% and no dividend yield.

2005 promissory note financing: Beginning May 27, 2005 and thereafter, we received gross loan proceeds of $3,186,000 through the issuance of 8% promissory notes due December 31, 2005. The outstanding principal together with all unpaid and accrued interest would automatically convert into equity securities issued by us in an equity financing, or a combination of equity financings, with gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000, such conversion to be at the same price per equity security as the equity securities sold in the equity financing; provided, however, that for purposes of determining the number of equity securities including warrants to be received upon such conversion, the dollar amount due the noteholder will first be multiplied by a factor of 1.2 times. In order to induce certain investors to participate in this financing the exercise price of the noteholders’ Series E warrants to purchase 798,897 shares of common stock received in our January 5, 2005 private placement was reduced from an exercise price of $27.00 and $22.50 per share to an exercise price of $.015 per share. Utilizing a Black Scholes valuation model we determined the value of this warrant exercise price reduction to be $2,212,436. Such amount was recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes.

Additionally, an investor holding in excess of 9.99% of our shares on a fully diluted basis who purchased $150,000 of those promissory notes, entered into a funding commitment for an additional $1,208,000. The exercise of such investor’s repriced warrants to purchase 241,253 shares of our common stock was limited to an amount determined by multiplying the 241,253 warrants by the percentage of the $1,358,000 commitment actually funded. Such investor agreed to provide us with such additional $1,208,000 by the later of the filing of our pre-market approval application for our confirmatory venous leg ulcer trial, or March 31, 2006. We received $150,000 towards this amount on September 14, 2005 in the form of a loan for which we issued an 8% promissory note (to be automatically converted into our equity securities the same as our other promissory notes, described above). That left a balance to be paid to us under that commitment of $1,058,000. As described in Note 10, on March 15, 2006, we received an additional $250,000 bridge loan from this investor which further reduced this funding commitment to $808,000. In connection with this loan from this investor we agreed to release the investor from the remaining $808,000 funding commitment and allow for the full exercise of the investor’s 241,253 warrants. We paid a cash fee of 5% of the gross loan proceeds to our financial advisor in connection with all such loans.

On September 29, 2005 we received an additional $150,000 loan for which we issued an 8% promissory note due December 31, 2005 with similar terms to the $3,186,000 of promissory notes issued in the prior quarter.

Lonza suite deal: On July 12, 2005, we entered into an agreement with our manufacturing and marketing partner, Lonza Walkersville, Inc. (successor by acquisition to Cambrex Bio Science Walkersville, Inc.), whereby for the six-month period May 1 to October 31, 2005 the $128,750 monthly charges we incurred for rental of a production suite used to produce ORCEL at their Maryland facility would be accrued by them for later conversion into shares of our common stock and warrants. The aggregate accrued charge during the six-month period of $772,500 was converted at $11.25 per common share, for 68,667 shares of common stock. We also issued to Lonza three year warrants to purchase 103,000 shares of our common stock exercisable, at $27.00 per share. Each of these securities carried certain registration rights. At December 31, 2005, we had accrued a charge for the six month period from May 1 to October 31, 2005 based on the fair value of the 68,667 shares and warrants to purchase 103,000 shares of our common stock at $27.00 per share. We determined that the fair value of our common stock and warrants was a more reliable measure then the monthly suite fee charged. Accordingly, we recorded a liability of $235,500 to reflect the fair value of our common stock and warrants to be issued as payment for rental of the production suite. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, the conversion was effectuated in December 2006 resulting in the issuance of the above common shares and warrant and removal of the liability. We entered into a similar arrangement in 2006 as described below under Lonza Suite Deal II. 

Service agreement: On July 18, 2005, we entered into a three-month service agreement with a financial communications group whereby we agreed to grant it a warrant to purchase 3,334 shares of our common stock, exercisable as follows: (i.) 1,667 shares exercisable at $7.50 per share, which vested immediately, and (ii.) 1,667 shares exercisable at $15.00 per share, which vested upon the Company and the financial communications group extending the term of the service agreement. Such agreement was extended. Utilizing a Black-Scholes valuation model we recorded a general and administrative charge of $4,903 for these warrants.

On December 1, 2005, in partial consideration for services rendered by the above group to us we granted them three-year warrants to (i) purchase 1,667 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share, which vested on March 31, 2006, and (ii) to purchase an additional 1,667 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share, which vest only if we and the service provider extended the original three-month term of the service agreement beyond March 31, 2006. Utilizing a Black-Scholes valuation model we recorded a general and administrative charge of $2,286 for the initial warrant to purchase 1,667 shares at $7.50 per share. The contract was not extended beyond March 31, 2006.

October 2005 private placement: On October 12th and 31st, 2005, we completed a private placement in which:

 
·
We issued 972,718 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $3.75 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,647,691 (approximately $2,650,000 of which was received on October 12, 2005) and issued to each purchaser our Series F common stock purchase warrants to purchase 50% of the number of common shares purchased, or an aggregate of 486,359 shares. The Series F warrants are exercisable at $7.50 per share. Investors holding an aggregate 392,072 Series E warrants who purchased our common stock and Series F warrants in this private placement in an amount equal to at least 40% of their past cash investments in our January 2005 equity private placement (which was completed at $12.50 per share and in which they purchased our common stock and our Series E warrants), or who converted our promissory notes on that January 5, 2005 date to shares of our common stock and Series E warrants, had the exercise price of their Series E warrants held by them reduced to $.015 from $27.00 and $22.50 per share. The modification of the warrant value was recorded as a deemed dividend of $1,053,088 based on a Black Scholes valuation. Such valuation was determined utilizing a stock price of $4.50, expected life of five years, risk free rate of 4.32%, volatility of 88% and no dividend yield.

 
·
The Series F warrants contain certain anti-dilution provisions. We may redeem the Series F warrants if our common stock trades above $15.00 for ten consecutive trading days. We analyzed the warrants in accordance with EITF 00-19 to determine their proper classification as equity. 

 
·
On October 12, 2005, the terms of all of the $3,486,000 of outstanding promissory notes at September 30, 2005 were amended to reduce the amount of gross proceeds we had to receive in equity financings to trigger the conversion of the notes to our equity securities, from the original $5,000,000 to $2,514,000. In consideration of this amendment the holders received 1,334 seven-year Series F warrants to purchase our common stock at $7.50 per common share for each $100,000 of outstanding principal amount of the note that is being converted into our equity securities, or 46,480 Series F warrants. As a result of our receipt of gross proceeds of approximately $2,650,000 from the sale of our equity securities on October 12, 2005, all of the promissory notes we issued after May 26, 2005, including accrued and unpaid interest of $98,463 and an added 20% premium, in all $4,301,355 were converted into an aggregate of 1,147,028 shares of our common stock. We actually issued 423,128 shares of our common stock and 2,714.624 Series D Preferred (equivalent to 723,900 shares of common stock), and Series F warrants to purchase an additional aggregate 619,994 shares of common stock at $7.50 per share. We recorded a loss on settlement of $2,753,254 in connection with this transaction consisting of the 20% premium of $716,892 and the value of the warrants to purchase 619,994 shares of $2,036,362. The warrant value was determined utilizing a Black Scholes pricing model with $4.50 stock price on October 12, 2005, expected life of seven years, risk-free rate of 4.37%, volatility factor of 88% with no dividend yield.

Purchasers whose participation in this private placement whose holdings would result in ownership in excess of 9.99% of our outstanding common stock were given the option to receive Series D preferred shares which would be convertible into the same number of shares of our common stock they would otherwise have acquired in that October 2005 private placement.

We were required to file a registration statement registering the shares of the common stock and the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of our Series F warrants, which we sold in that October 2005 private placement. That registration statement was required to be filed no later than January 6, 2006. We were required to use our best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 60 business days thereafter. Such registration rights agreement provided, before it was modified, that if the registration statement was not filed by January 6, 2006, or was not declared effective within 90 business days of its filing we must pay the investors cash liquidated damages equal to 1.5% of the amount they invested in the current private placement for the first 30 days of our default, and 1% of the amount invested for each 30 days thereafter. Our agreement with those purchasers provided that the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock we were required to register pursuant to that agreement (the “majority holders”) could modify and/or waive our obligations under that agreement and such modification and/or waiver would be binding on all the purchasers in that private placement. On January 30, 2006 the majority holders (i) waived our obligation to pay any liquidated damages for our failure to file the registration statement by January 6, 2006; (ii) extended to June 7, 2006, then later extended to September 15, 2006, the time by which the registration statement had to be declared effective before we had to pay any liquidated damages and (iii) permitted us to include in such registration statement shares of our common stock we may issue, or that will be issuable, in (x) a transaction in which we acquire by merger another biotechnology company and/or (y) a new private placement of our securities in which we raise up to $10,000,000.

Such modification and waiver enabled us to pursue an acquisition and a private placement without incurring those liquidated damages expenses. The registration statement covering such shares was declared effective August 7, 2006.

BHP received a cash fee equal to 10% of the gross proceeds (including cash received for our promissory notes issued since May 2005, approximately half of which we paid to BHP upon placement of the notes) received by us in that October 2005 private placement. BHP received warrants to purchase 211,975 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 per common share. BHP reserved the option to take $174,300 (see April 2006 transaction which follows) of their fee to purchase our common stock and our Series F warrants at the same price as paid by the investors in that October 2005 private placement for those securities. Additionally, as a result of such private placements and sale of our promissory notes, pursuant to our agreement with BHP, placement agent warrants for the purchase of 183,092 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $14.25 per share, which we issued to BHP and its designees in connection with the January 2005 private placement of our common stock and our Series E warrants, had their exercise price reduced to $5.25 per share. The modification of the warrant value was recorded as a deemed dividend of $143,942 based on a Black Scholes valuation. We paid $109,306 in legal and accounting expenses in connection with the October 2005 private placement. For a period of 36 months ending in October 2008 we shall pay BHP a cash fee of 6% of the proceeds we receive from the exercise of any of our warrants issued to investors who paid cash for our securities.

For a period of nine months ending July 31, 2006, BHP had the right to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with our subsequent financings. During that period, BHP would have been entitled to an industry standard fee for completion of a strategic transaction by us. BHP both waived its right to act as placement agent with respect to a proposed private placement financing we had to complete and waived its fee for the Hapto acquisition which we were negotiating.

Purchasers in the October 2005 private placement had the right for a period which ended on the earlier of six months after their purchase of our common stock and our Series F warrants, or upon our announcement of a transaction in which we will issue at least 1,333,333 shares of our common stock (a “Material Transaction”), to participate in any equity financing by us in connection with or relating to such Material Transaction, so that each purchaser can maintain its percentage ownership of our common stock as of the date immediately prior to the date of such equity financing.

The exercise prices of our Series F warrants issued to the purchasers in our private placement on October 12, 2005 and on October 31, 2005, and to the note holders, were to be adjusted if during the earlier of (a) the six-month period after the date of issuance of the Series F warrants, or (b) when we announce a Material Transaction,

 
(i)
we sell our equity securities in a financing at a price equal to or greater than $3.75 per share, the exercise price of our Series F warrants held by such persons will be reduced (or increased but not beyond the current $7.50 per share exercise price of our Series F warrants) to the exercise price of the warrants issued in such equity financing, or

 
(ii.)
we sell our equity securities in a financing for less than $3.75 per share (notwithstanding that such equity financing is consummated following the announcement of the Material Transaction), the exercise price of our Series F warrants held by such persons will be reduced to the price per share for which we sell our equity securities in such financing.

In a press release dated December 15, 2005, we announced our letter of intent to acquire Hapto Biotech. We considered this a Material Transaction. No adjustment to the October 2005 private placement purchaser’s warrants were required as a result.

Series E warrant exercises: Various investors holding Series E warrants to purchase 13,144 shares of our common stock at $0.015 per share exercised such rights. Additionally on May 15, 2006 investors holding Series E warrants to purchase 126,590 shares of our common stock at $0.015 exercised such right on a cashless basis. Based on a $3.60 closing price they received 126,063 shares of our common stock.

Vendor settlement: On March 17, 2006, we settled a vendor liability of approximately $102,000 for $35,000 payable in seven equal monthly installments of $5,000 and a three-year warrant to purchase 19,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.75 per share. The warrant was valued at $54,982 utilizing a Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: expected life of 3 years, volatility factor of 86%, risk free rate of 4.64%, and no expected dividend yield. The warrant has piggyback registration rights for the underlying shares of common stock.

Lonza suite deal II: On February 13, 2006 we entered into an agreement with our manufacturing and marketing partner, Lonza, whereby for the six-month period January 1 to June 30, 2006 the $132,612 monthly charges we incur for rental of a production suite used to produce ORCEL at their Maryland facility, Lonza agreed to accept 49,116 shares of our common stock monthly in lieu of cash payment. Accordingly, we issued 294,693 shares for six months of suite fees during the first half of 2006. We determined that the fair value of our common stock and warrants was a more reliable measure then the monthly suite fee charged. Accordingly, the shares were valued at $1,119,834 using the closing market price of our common stock at the end of each monthly performance period. We also issued to Lonza a three-year warrant exercisable July 1, 2006 to purchase 73,673 shares of our common stock at $11.25 per share. The warrant was valued at $67,505 on the date of agreement utilizing a Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: expected life of 3 years, volatility factor of 86%, risk free rate of 4.66%, and no expected dividend yield. The warrant was amortized over the six-month period of the agreement. Each of these securities carry certain registration rights. The common shares issued to Lonza were subject to registration rights and potential liquidated damages.

Fees due former investment banker: In April 2006, pursuant to an agreement reached in December 2005 to settle certain advisory fees ($250,000) and placement fees ($174,300) due to our former investment banker, we issued 113,147 shares of our common stock at $3.75 per share and Series F warrants to purchase 56,573 shares exercisable at $7.50 per share in lieu of a cash payment of the $424,300. Separately, the former investment banker received a $50,000 fee from our April 2006 placement as a termination fee. This $50,000 fee was treated as a cost of doing the April 2006 private placement and accordingly offset the proceeds. It was also agreed that the investment banker would receive placement agent fees for any funds raised in the April 2006 private placement from investors who participated in our earlier financings in which such investment banker or its principals acted as placement agent. In this regard we paid the investment banker $25,000, and issued Series H warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock at $7.50 per share to the investment banker and its designees.

12 - SERIES A, B, C, D, D-1, & E PREFERRED STOCK, 12% CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock: On June 25, 2002, our board of directors unanimously adopted an amendment to our certificate of incorporation designating 2,000 shares out of the 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock that we are authorized to issue, as Series A convertible preferred stock, and designating the relative rights and preferences of the Series A convertible preferred stock. The stated value, which is also the liquidation preference of the Series A convertible preferred stock, was $10,000 per share. We were required to pay dividends on the Series A preferred shares, at the rate of 6% per annum of the $10,000 liquidation preference per share, through June 30, 2003; at the rate of 9% per annum thereafter until June 30, 2004; and thereafter at the rate of 12% per annum. At our option such dividends could be paid in our common stock at the “conversion price” for the conversion of such dividends if such shares of common stock had been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 for sale in the public securities markets. The conversion price was fixed initially at $225.00 per share of our common stock. There are no shares of Series A convertible preferred stock outstanding. In November 2004, the designation establishing the rights and preferences of the Series A convertible preferred stock was eliminated from our certificate of incorporation so that we are no longer authorized to issue any more Series A convertible preferred stock.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock: On November 7, 2002, our board of directors adopted an amendment to our certificate of incorporation designating 1,200 shares out of the 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock that we are authorized to issue, as Series B convertible preferred stock at a stated value of $10,000 per share. Dividends on the Series B preferred shares were payable at the rate of 12% per annum, in cash or shares of common stock, at our option, except that in the first year, dividends were payable, in advance, in shares of common stock.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Series B preferred stock was convertible into common shares at any time at the option of the investor, based on a fixed conversion rate of not less than $45.00, or commencing after February 1, 2003, based on an alternative conversion rate equal to 90% of the average of the five lowest volume weighted average prices for our common stock for the twenty trading days immediately prior to conversion, subject to a floor price of $37.50.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock: On May 23, 2003, our board of directors adopted an amendment to our certificate of incorporation designating 2,000 shares out of the 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock that we are authorized to issue, as Series C convertible preferred stock at a stated value of $6,000 per share. Dividends on the Series C preferred shares are payable at the rate of 10% per annum, in cash or shares of common stock, at our option.

The Series C preferred stock was convertible into common shares at any time at the option of the investor, based on a fixed conversion rate of $30.00 per share.

Series B & C - Elimination of Designation: On June 16, 2005, the designations establishing the rights and preferences of our Series B and C convertible preferred stock, of which no shares were any longer outstanding, were eliminated from our certificate of incorporation so that we are no longer authorized to issue any more Series B or C convertible preferred stock.

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock: On August 19, 2003, our board of directors adopted an amendment to our certificate of incorporation designating 2,000 shares out of the 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock that we are authorized to issue, as Series D convertible preferred stock at a stated value of $10,000 per share. In the event we declare a cash dividend on our common stock we will be required to pay a dividend on each share of our Series D preferred stock in an amount equal to the cash dividend paid on one share of our common stock multiplied by the number of shares of our common stock into which such one share of our Series D preferred stock can be converted.

Each holder of Series D preferred stock may, at such holder’s option, subject to certain limitations, elect to convert all or any portion of the shares of Series D preferred stock held by such holder into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of our common stock equal to the quotient of (i) the Series D liquidation preference ($10,000 per Series D preferred share) divided by (ii) the Series D conversion price of $37.50 per share. The conversion price is subject to customary adjustments to the Series D conversion price in the event of stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, distributions and reclassifications and other corporate events.

Issuance of 12% Convertible Debentures: In March 2002, we engaged an investment-banking firm to act as our advisor and to assist in raising capital for us in the form of either debt or equity financing.

On May 13, 2002, we issued $2,333,000 of 12% convertible debentures, which were convertible into common shares at the lesser of $504.00 or the price per share of the equity securities to be issued in a subsequent financing. These debentures, payable April 10, 2003, bore interest at the rate of 12% per annum, up to October 10, 2002 and 18% thereafter. We also issued 1,940 stock purchase warrants as part of this May 13, 2002 financing, exercisable at $675.00 per share for up to five years from the date of grant. The warrants had price protection features whereby the price of the warrants can be reduced to the prices at which common stock or common stock equivalents are thereafter sold by us.

On June 28, 2002, $600,000 of these debentures sold on May 13, 2002 were converted into Series A preferred stock at 110% of face value. Additionally, on June 28, 2002, we issued an additional $250,000 of 12% convertible debentures and $1,200,000 in Series A convertible preferred stock. The total face value of the preferred stock issued was $1,870,000 which consisted of the $1,200,000 of cash proceeds received, the $600,000 face value of converted debentures and the $70,000 of additional conversion face value. Additionally, the Series A preferred stock was convertible into common shares at a rate of $225.00 per share. The Series A preferred stock had provisions whereby redemption was out of our control; therefore, the preferred stock was classified as temporary equity.

On June 28, 2002, we also issued 4,364 common stock purchase warrants, at an exercise price of $281.30 per common share for a five-year period. Of the 4,364, an aggregate of 208 warrants were issued with the convertible debentures, with the remainder issued with the Series A preferred stock. The warrants also had similar price protection features, whereby the price of the warrants can be reduced to the prices at which common stock or common stock equivalents were thereafter sold by us.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During the third quarter 2002, we issued $1,425,000 in convertible debentures, with terms comparable to those issued in the second quarter. Additionally, 11,875 warrants were issued with similar terms to warrants issued on May 13, 2002. In October and November 2002, prior to our Series B preferred stock financing, we issued an additional $1,900,000 in convertible debentures and 15,834 warrants, with terms comparable to those issued earlier in 2002.

We deferred the payment of interest due on June 30 and September 30, 2002, pending the completion of our Series B preferred stock financing. These debentures along with the accrued interest were convertible into equity securities if we completed the sale of at least $5,000,000 in equity securities by July 12, 2002, which date was extended through November 13, 2002. On November 13, 2002, these debentures and accrued interest were converted into Series B preferred stock with the closing of the Series B preferred stock financing. These were converted at the rate of 110% of the debentures plus accrued interest into $10,000 par value Series B convertible preferred shares.
 
The relative estimated fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the debentures of $440,523 was recorded as debt discount, as well as the estimated fair value of the beneficial conversion features of $1,042,663. Both of these values were amortized over the remaining life of the convertible debentures, or through April 10, 2003. Upon conversion, the remaining unamortized beneficial conversion features were charged to interest expense.

The relative estimated fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the Series A preferred stock of $559,289 was recorded as a discount to the preferred stock and was reflected as interest expense on the date of issuance. Additionally, the estimated fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of $1,097,886 has been recorded as an additional discount and reflected as interest expense. The Series A preferred stock had no redemption date, and therefore the charge to interest expense was reflected immediately as the conversion privilege was exercisable immediately.

First Sale of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock: In November and December 2002, we issued 938.2742 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock to several investors in a private placement for an aggregate of $8,178,000, which included $1,070,000 of new Series B preferred stock and the conversion of the aforementioned convertible debentures and convertible Series A preferred stock. We recorded a loss on extinguishment of debentures and preferred shares of $1,004,027, principally due to the additional buying power granted to the investors resulting from the difference between the present value of the original debt and the revised present value. The convertible debentures and convertible Series A preferred stock were converted at 110% of face value plus accrued interest. In addition, these investors were granted Series A warrants to purchase 62,552 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.15. These Series A warrants vested immediately and were exercised immediately, upon grant. The investors were also granted Series B-1 and B-2 warrants, which could be used to purchase 36,199 and 31,276 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $225.00 and $300.00 per share, respectively. These B-1 warrants were exercisable beginning August 13, 2003 and expire seven years from the date of grant and the B-2 warrants were exercisable beginning November 13, 2003 and expire seven years from date of grant. We assigned values to the Series B preferred stock of $9,382,742 and the Series A, B-1 and B-2 warrants issued to the investors of $2,245,206, $694,447 and $539,390, or $3,479,043 in the aggregate, based upon the relative fair market value of the stock at the date of issuance and the estimated fair market value of the warrants, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The warrants issued with the second quarter and third quarter 2003 financings were exchanged for B-1 warrants, issued in the fourth quarter of 2003.

The first year’s dividends on the Series B preferred stock were paid in advance in common shares at the rate of 12% upon issue of the preferred shares and were to be paid semiannually in subsequent years, in either cash or common shares, at our election, until the preferred stock is converted to common shares. For the first year’ dividends totaling $1,125,559, paid in common stock, the investors were issued 25,021 shares of common stock, of which 19,566 shares were issued in November 2002 and 5,455 shares in January 2003.

In addition, certain of the investors were given options to purchase, for one year and for amounts ranging from 100% to 200% of their investments, additional shares of the Series B convertible preferred stock at the price paid for such stock by investors on November 13, 2002.
 
H.C. Wainwright & Company, Inc. (Wainwright) acted as placement agent in this private placement. For its services as placement agent, we paid Wainwright $601,490. Legal and other professional fees totaled $155,997. All but $136,046 of the $755,487 aggregate costs was amortized to interest expense when the $5,908,000 convertible debentures and $1,200,000 of Series A preferred stock were converted to Series B preferred stock. In connection with such conversion to the Series B shares, we granted Wainwright and its agents warrants to purchase 53,333 and 33,333 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $.15 and $225.00, respectively, exercisable immediately upon issue and August 13, 2003, respectively. These warrants expired on January 31, 2003 and will expire seven years from issue, respectively. In December 2002, we issued 2,352 shares of common stock upon exercise of the $.15 warrants granted to Wainwright. The fair market value assigned to the Wainwright warrants was $280,000 and $24,615, or $304,615 in the aggregate, for the $.15 warrants and the $225.00 warrants, respectively. Total share issuance costs were $866,612 inclusive of professional fees, the $136,046 referred to above fees paid to Wainwright, and the fair value of the aforementioned warrants. Issuance costs for the Series B preferred stock are reflected as a reduction of the proceeds from the sale of the preferred stock.

Second Sale of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock: In February 2003, we received gross proceeds of $2,000,000 from the sale of our Series B convertible preferred stock. We issued to such investors 200 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock, 19,487 shares of common stock (including 6,154 shares of common stock constituting the first year's dividends on such 200 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock, which dividends were paid in advance, and 13,333 shares of common stock, which were issued upon exercise of Series A warrants, exercised at $15.00 per share) and warrants to purchase an additional 13,334 shares of common stock, of which warrants to purchase 6,667 (the B-1 warrants) shares were exercisable at $225.00 per share and warrants to purchase the other 6,667 (the B-2 warrants) shares were exercisable at $300.00 per share. In May and June 2003, in conjunction with the conversion of virtually all of the Series B preferred stock and our reverse stock split, these B-1 and B-2 warrants were amended and restated to provide for exercise prices of $60.00 and $75.00, respectively. PRF did not convert its 50 shares of Series B preferred stock on May 23, 2003 and, accordingly, the exercise price of its B-1 and B-2 Warrants were not amended and remained at their original exercise price of $225.00 and $300.00, respectively.

Wainwright acted as placement agent in this private placement and in addition to cash compensation, we granted warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,513 shares of common stock, exercisable at $0.15 per share, to employees of the placement agent firm. The fair value of these warrants was $86,692. Total share issuance costs were $393,488 inclusive of professional and investment banking fees and the fair value of the aforementioned warrants. Issuance costs for the Series B preferred stock are reflected as a reduction of the proceeds from the sale of the preferred stock. During 2004 certain of these warrants to purchase 2,164 shares of our common stock were exercised. We received $325.00.

Dividends were payable in cash or common shares at our option, at the rate of 12% per annum. An accrued dividend of $50,000 at December 31, 2004 was provided for within stockholders’ deficit, as it was our intention to issue common shares in payment of the dividend. These dividends were paid upon the conversion of the Series B preferred on January 5, 2005 as described in Note 10.

Sale of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock: In May and July 2003, we received gross proceeds of $5,690,000 from the sale of 948 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock, issuing warrants to purchase 113,800 shares of our common stock exercisable at $54.00 per share. Our Series C preferred stock had a stated value of $6,000 per share and was convertible into 189,667 shares of common stock at $30.00 per share. In addition, in connection with the Series C financing, investors, other than Paul Royalty Fund, agreed to convert their Series B preferred shares into common shares or their equivalent. As a result, 605.389 shares of Series B preferred stock were converted into 161,437 shares of common stock and 482.885 shares of Series B preferred stock were converted into an equal number of shares of Series D preferred stock (with a common stock equivalent of 128,769 shares). The Series D convertible preferred stock is non-redeemable and has a stated value of $10,000 per share. As part of the May 2003 Series C financing, employees of the investment-banking firm which arranged the Series C financing were granted warrants to purchase 9,968 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.15 per share as part of their compensation. Accordingly, we recorded $269,000 in Series C preferred share issuance costs related to the warrants issued. Total share issuance costs were $797,327 inclusive of professional and investment banking fees and the fair value of the aforementioned warrants. Issuance costs for the Series C preferred stock are reflected as a reduction of the proceeds from the sale of the preferred stock.

Dividends were payable in cash or common shares at our option, at the rate of 10% per annum. An accrued dividend of $563,805 and $336,550 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, was provided for within stockholders’ deficit. In January 2005 we issued common shares in payment of these dividends. 

Based on the relative fair market value of the preferred stock at the dates of issuance and the estimated fair market value of the warrants, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, at December 31, 2003, we assigned values to the Series C preferred stock and the Series C warrants of $4,464,368 and $1,225,632, respectively. Similarly, we assigned values to the Series D preferred stock, based on values previously assigned to the Series B preferred stock.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Additionally, since the effective conversion price of the Series C preferred stock on the date of issuance was lower than the market value of the common shares on that date, we recognized $691,000 of additional discounts on the preferred issuances. This conversion feature was charged to retained earnings as accretion of discount.

In August 2003, holders of 483 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock converted their shares into an equal number of shares of Series D convertible preferred stock.

In June and October 2004, a holder of 35.624 shares of Series C preferred stock with a value of $137,752, converted its shares into 7,125 shares of common stock. Additionally we issued 916 shares of our common stock valued at $30,099 as payment of dividends on the converted Series C preferred stock.

Deemed Dividend: In conjunction with these conversions, all Series B-1 and B-2 warrants were amended to provide for revised exercise prices of $60.00 and $75.00, respectively. Paul Royalty Fund did not exercise its right to convert its 50 shares of Series B preferred stock into common stock or its equivalent and as such, its B-1 and B-2 warrants were not amended and remained at their original exercise prices of $225.00 and $300.00, respectively. As a result of the change in the B-1 and B-2 warrants at May 23, 2003, we recognized a deemed dividend to investors of $519,000.

Conversion of Series D Preferred Stock: In May 2006, the holder of 323.4008 shares of Series D preferred stock converted such shares into 86,240 shares of our common stock.

Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock: On January 30 and 31, 2006, the holders of 5,948.6148 outstanding shares of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock entered into agreements with us agreeing to exchange all of their shares of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock into an equal number of shares of our new Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. The primary difference between the Series D Preferred shares and the Series D-1 Preferred shares was that the liquidation preference of the Series D Preferred shares was $10,000 per share and that of the Series D-1 Preferred shares was $10 per share. On August 24, 2006 the Board of Directors adopted the Certificate of Designations of the Relative Rights and Preferences of our Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. Each Series D-1 Preferred share will be convertible into 266.666 shares of our common stock. Therefore the 5,948.6148 shares are convertible into 1,586,297 shares of our common stock. 

Series E Convertible Preferred Stock: On April 17, 2006, we completed a private placement sale for aggregate gross proceeds from accredited investors of $6,176,000. We issued an aggregate of 6,176 shares of our 6% Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (Series E) and five-year Series H warrants to purchase 2,058,667 shares of our common stock at $7.50 per share. We incurred placement fees of $608,200 (inclusive of $50,000 termination fee to the former placement agent described above), legal expenses of $36,856, and other expenses of $4,115, or an aggregate cost of the financing of $649,171. In addition to cash fees we issued warrants to our investment banker, Rodman & Renshaw, LLC (R&R), who served as placement agent. R & R received warrants to purchase 153,017 shares at $7.50 per share. Another finder received a warrant to purchase 39,517 shares at $7.50 per share. Due to the warrants being recorded as a liability at issuance (see below), the net proceeds were allocated entirely to the warrants. As such, the fair value of the warrants exceeded the proceeds and thus there is no beneficial conversion discount. The Series E was entitled to vote on an “as converted” basis on all matters submitted to a vote by the holders of our common stock. At any time these investors could convert their preferred stock into our common stock at a $3.00 conversion price. In August 2006 certain investors holding 295 Series E shares converted their shares and accrued dividends at the $3.00 conversion price into 100,250 shares of our common stock. On September 6, 2006, the investors were obligated to convert their preferred stock by dividing their $1,000 per preferred share purchase price plus dividends at 6% per annum from April 17, 2006 by the lesser of $3.00, or 90% of the average of the volume weighted average prices for our common stock for the twenty trading days following July 24, 2006 (the effective date of the 1 for 15 reverse split of our common stock). On such date, the remaining 6,182.333 Series E shares were automatically converted into 2,721,828 shares of our common stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation of the Rights and Preferences for the Series E. The Series H warrants carry full ratchet price and quantity reset provisions should we sell our common stock or our other securities convertible into, or exercisable for, our common stock, at an effective price per common share less than the $7.50 exercise price of the warrants. Such warrants provide that the $7.50 per share exercise price will be reduced to the price, if lower, at which we sell our common stock in the future, or the effective cost to the purchaser of our common stock upon conversion of equity securities, or exercise of warrants or options, we may sell or grant in the future. Additionally, such warrants provide that the number of shares of our common stock that the holders of the Series H warrants could purchase when the exercise price of the Series H warrant is so reduced, would be that number of shares which the aggregate exercise price of the Series H Warrants could purchase before the reduction of the exercise price at the new, reduced exercise price. We have registered under the Securities Act of 1933, all of the shares of our common stock we issued as a result of the conversion of the 6% Series E and issuable upon exercise of such Series H warrants. The registration statement for those shares was declared effective on August 7, 2006.

Each Investor who participated in the April 17, 2006 placement retained the right to participate in a subsequent equity financing up to an amount equivalent to 100% any subsequent financing closed by us prior to August 7, 2007, on the same terms, conditions and price of such subsequent financing.

Under Section 170 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, we were prohibited from paying a dividend in cash to the holders of Series E preferred stock. We notified such investors that we would increase the basis of their preferred stock for any accrued dividends. Such investors were given the right to notify us not to increase their basis but receive our common stock instead. No investors notified us that they elected to receive our common stock. Dividends of $151,035 were paid to Series E holders in common stock upon conversion of their Series E holdings.

Change in value of warrants: Due to the nature of the volume weighted average calculation required under the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (Series E) whereby the final conversion price of the underlying common stock was not immediately known and under the rules promulgated by EITF No. 00-19, we were initially required to reclassify the fair value of all of our existing outstanding warrants, because it was unknown whether we would have enough authorized shares to settle our outstanding warrants due to the unknown number of shares needed for the Series E, from our equity accounts at the date of the Series E transaction and record them as a warrant liability. At April 17, 2006, we recorded a liability for the fair value of all of our outstanding warrants, or $20,829,822, inclusive of an $8,878,822 fair value for our Series H warrants received in the April 17, 2006 private placement. As of September 5, 2006, the date at which we were forced to convert our Series E to common stock, the fair value of our warrants was revised to $5,736,591 in accordance with EITF No. 00-19. The decline in the fair value of the warrants at September 5, 2006 from the initial value of $20,829,822 recorded on April 17, 2006 for the warrants, resulted in income of $15,093,231. The net amount of $12,042,565 on our statements of operations under the caption “Change in fair value of warrants” represents the net effect of the decline in fair value of the warrants ($15,093,231) offset by the charge for the excess value of the Series H warrants ($8,878,822) over the consideration ($5,828,162 consideration received consisting of $5,526,829 net proceeds in the private placement in which they were sold and a $250,000 promissory note including interest of $51,333 which was converted as described above into Series E) received in the April 17, 2006 private placement or $3,050,666. A Black Scholes model using the respective remaining expected lives of our warrants, a dividend yield of zero, estimated volatility of approximately 86%, and a risk free rate of 4.59% was used to calculate the respective fair values at September 5, 2006.

Deemed dividend: Our private placement in April 2006 (described in Note 12) resulted in the repricing of our Series E and F warrants because of the anti-dilution provisions of those warrants. Series E warrants to purchase 47,840 shares of common stock at $22.50 per share were repriced to $11.34 per share resulting in a deemed dividend of $28,113. Series E warrants to purchase 254,279 shares of our common stock at $27.00 per share were repriced to $13.06 per share resulting in a deemed dividend of $158,357. Series E PA warrants to purchase 183,092 shares of our common stock at $5.25 per share were repriced to $5.02 per share resulting in a deemed dividend of $2,519. Series F warrants to purchase 1,162,926 shares of our common stock at $7.50 per share were repriced to $6.45 per share resulting in a deemed dividend of $88,983. We calculated aggregate deemed dividends of $277,972 utilizing a Black Scholes model that compared the exercise price of the new warrants to the old warrant with the following assumptions for the Series E and F warrants: expected life of 5 (Series E) and 7 (Series F) years, volatility factor of 86%, risk free rate of 4.93% (Series E) and 4.96% (Series F), and no expected dividend yield.

We recognized approximately $1,696,000 of compensation expense for options and warrants issued to officers and our directors in 1998. Such options and warrants were accounted for as variable option grants. Such options and warrants had vested prematurely in December 1998, upon the exercise of warrants owned by one of our directors, in accordance with the terms of certain compensation provisions provided for and approved by our Board of Directors.

Pursuant to a resolution adopted by our Board of Directors in 2001, we are required to pay to our chief executive officer, and our chairman of our Board of Directors, one percent each of all moneys received by us from investors in our equity securities or certain lenders. We are also required to issue to each of them options to purchase such number of shares of our common stock equal to ten percent of the shares issued by us in an equity financing, which options are exercisable at the prices paid by the investors for the shares we sell in the equity financing. Pursuant to such resolution, in October and November 2005 we granted to each of them seven-year options entitling each of them to purchase 211,975 shares of our common stock (423,950 in the aggregate) at an exercise price of $3.75 per share as a result of our sale of 2,119,746 shares of our common stock in a private placement in the latter part of 2005. We did not grant to either of them options to purchase ten percent of the number of shares of our common stock that the purchasers of our Series E convertible preferred stock receive upon conversion of their Series E preferred stock, with the exercise price of such options being the price per share of common stock such purchasers will have paid for our common stock they receive. We have not, with their consent, granted them options because of private placement sales of our equity securities prior to October 2005. See Note 19 regarding their Cancellation Agreements.

During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2003 and 2002, we issued 423,950 (as described above), 59,627, and 25,334 options, respectively, to senior executives, which were granted outside of our Stock Option Plan. During the year ended December 31, 2004 we issued 6,667 options to a director which were also granted outside of our Stock Option Plan. These options vested immediately and expire seven years from date of grant. The following table provides the exercise price for options issued to the director and senior management.

In April 1996, the stockholders approved the adoption of a stock option plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provided for the grant of options to purchase up to 2,333 shares of our common stock. These options may be granted to employees, our officers, our non-employee directors, consultants, and advisors. The Plan provides for granting of options to purchase our common stock at not less than the fair value of such shares on the date of the grant. Some of the options generally vest ratably over a four-year period, while others vest immediately. The options generally expire after seven years.

In August 1998, the stockholders ratified and approved an amended and restated 1996 Stock Option Plan increasing the maximum number of shares of our common stock for which stock options may be granted from 2,333 to 10,333 shares. In August 2000, the stockholders ratified and approved the second amendment to our Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Option Plan increasing the number of shares of our common stock for which options have been or could be granted under the Plan from 10,333 to 20,000 shares.

In February 2003, the stockholders ratified and approved an amended and restated Stock Option Plan, increasing the maximum number of shares of our common stock for which stock options may be granted from 20,000 to 30,000 shares. As of December 31, 2006 no options were available for grant under the Plan.

In July 2005, the stockholders approved the adoption of the 2005 Stock Option Plan (the “2005 Plan”). The 2005 Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 66,667 shares of our common stock. These options may be granted to employees, our officers, our non-employee directors, consultants, and advisors. The 2005 Plan provides for granting of options to purchase our common stock at not less than the fair value of such shares on the date of the grant. As of December 31, 2006, 13,936 of these options were available for grant under the 2005 Plan.

On August 24, 2006 the Board of Directors adopted the Ortec International, Inc. 2006 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The Plan provides for grants of up to 2,500,000 shares of our common stock that may be awarded to our employees, directors, consultant and advisors. The awards maybe in the form of restricted stock or incentive stock options. The grants will be made by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors or, in some cases, by a sub-committee of the compensation committee, and may require a performance component. The members of that sub-committee are both non-employee directors. The Plan will be presented to Stockholders for approval at our next annual meeting.

On December 11, 2006 the Board of Directors awarded 500,000 shares of restricted stock to members of management which includes our Chief Financial Officer (200,000) and our Chief Scientific Officer (200,000), under the 2006 Plan. These shares will be issued on January 1, 2008 and vest over a five month period ending May 31, 2008. These shares, or pro-rata portion thereof, will be forfeited if during any time over this seventeen-month period, these management members’ employment with us is terminated. Due to the high probability that these members of management employment will be retained through May 31, 2008, we have recorded a charge of $165,000 related to these awards in deferred compensation and will amortize such charge over the period of service. No other specific performance criteria were established related to these awards as the awards were primarily retention based.

The exercise price for all stock options awarded is the market price of our common stock on the date the option is granted.

Share-based compensation expense is included in personnel expense. We recorded additional compensation cost of $41,200 in 2006 associated with the adoption of SFAS 123(R).

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R) at December 31, 2005:

Restricted Share Grant: During 2003, an allocation of 120,000 restricted shares of common stock were granted to officers and certain employees. The issuance of these shares was contingent on our achieving certain milestones. On January 5, 2005, we issued 66,667 and 22,667 of these shares to our chief executive officer and chairman, respectively, for having achieved a milestone of raising in excess of $15,000,000 over a specified period. On June 27, 2005, we allocated the remaining 30,666 shares of our common stock to certain executive officers and other employees. Out of this 30,666 allocation, we issued an aggregate of 19,666 shares to our Chief Operating and Chief Financial Officers. Grants of the remaining 11,000 shares allocated to three employees were conditioned on meeting certain performance criteria. One of those employees met such performance criteria at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 and 667 and 1,333 shares were issued, respectively. The remaining 9,000 shares were forfeited as it was determined the performance criteria was not reached. The related charges were reflected as additional paid in capital and deferred compensation in the statement of shareholders’ deficit. The shares will vest in five equal monthly installments commencing January 1, 2007. However, the portion of the shares granted to such officer or employee which are not vested will be forfeited if the officer or employee is then no longer employed by us at any time after January 1, 2007. The shares may only be sold in five monthly installments commencing January 1, 2007. We recorded a charge to deferred compensation of $752,000 based on the fair value of these restricted shares. The deferred compensation for the 111,000 issued shares is being amortized over the 29-month vesting period. Included in general and administrative expense are charges of $334,678 and $289,139 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 reflecting the amortization of this deferred compensation amount. These shares have certain registration rights. In lieu of a direct cash payment, these individuals may transfer a portion of their shares back to us to satisfy their minimum future personal tax withholding liability arising from the receipt of these shares for which we will pay their tax obligation.

14 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Due to Founder

Pursuant to an amended agreement, we had engaged the services of Dr. Mark Eisenberg, one of our directors, who is also one of our founders, as a consultant through August 31, 2005. During 2003, we terminated our agreement with Dr. Eisenberg and discontinued research activities in Australia. For the period from inception to December 31, 2003 production and laboratory costs include compensation due to Dr. Eisenberg of approximately $1,029,000. In accordance with the settlement agreement, we recorded consulting expense of $194,656 for the remainder of the $304,478 of consulting fees due under the consulting agreement with Dr. Eisenberg. Additionally, we recorded $28,881 in rent expense that we owed Dr. Eisenberg for the space we occupied in the Australian laboratory. The total amount due Dr. Eisenberg under the settlement agreement aggregated $398,574 which represents unpaid consulting fees, the rent for the Australian laboratory, and $65,215 of advances made by Dr. Eisenberg on our behalf. We settled the balance due Dr. Eisenberg in 2004 by issuing 6,667 options to purchase our common stock at an exercise price of $30.00 per share. We recorded the $398,574 settlement in 2004 as a contribution of capital given that the settlement was with our director. These options will expire in five years.

Research Collaboration

On October 11, 2004 we entered into a collaboration with Hapto Biotech, Inc., for the purpose of further developing promising product leads identified through a research collaboration established in September 2002 between us and Hapto Biotech, utilizing each company’s proprietary technologies. The activities of the two entities had been conducted in a new entity, Hapto / Ortec Collaboration, LLC. The agreement provided for a license agreement to us if the collaboration is successful in developing other technology (as defined) which can be used to treat hard to heal chronic wounds (as defined). This collaboration was terminated when we acquired Hapto Biotech, Inc. on April 14, 2006. See Note 4. In connection with this acquisition we contract certain research services from Hadasit. One of our directors serves as managing director of Hadasit. Hadasit billed us approximately $157,000 for these research services in 2006. Of this amount, $68,510 was due Hadasit at December 31, 2006.

Bonus Arrangement: 

Pursuant to a resolution adopted by our Board of Directors in 2001, we are required to pay to our chief executive officer and chairman of our Board of Directors, one percent each of all moneys received by us from investors in our equity securities or certain lenders. We are also required to issue to each of them options to purchase such number of shares of our common stock equal to ten percent of the shares issued by us in an equity financing, which options are exercisable at the prices paid by the investors for the shares we sell in the equity financing. Approximately $563,000 was due to these officers under such arrangement at December 31, 2006. See Notes 7 and 13.

Change of Control Agreements

In December 1998, our Board of Directors authorized agreements between us and two of our executive officers and another employee who is no longer employed by us, which state that in the event of a “change of control” certain “special compensation arrangements” will occur. A “change of control” is defined as a change in the ownership or effective control of Ortec or in the ownership of a substantial portion of our assets, but in any event if certain members of our Board of Directors no longer constitute a majority of the Board of Directors. In the event that such change of control occurs, the agreements provide these individuals additional compensation, interest-free loans to exercise their stock options and warrants, and extensions of the expiration dates of all of their then outstanding options and warrants so that none will expire in less than three years from such termination of employment. In addition, for all of the individuals, in the event of a change of control, all unvested options and warrants will vest immediately upon such change of control. See Note 19 regarding Cancellation Agreements.

15 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Cell Therapy Manufacturing Agreement

In October 29, 2003 we entered into an agreement commencing November 1, 2003 with Lonza Walkersville, Inc. (successor by acquisition of Cambrex Bio Science Walkersville, Inc.), a subsidiary of Lonza Corporation (Lonza), for Lonza to manufacture ORCEL in Lonza’s Walkersville, Maryland facilities. The Lonza manufacturing facility is required to meet FDA’s good manufacturing processes standards. Lonza is experienced in the manufacture of cell-based medical products such as our ORCEL.

Our agreement with Lonza requires us to pay Lonza $136,591 per month, or $1,639,092 per year, for the use of a production suite in their facility located in Walkersville, Maryland. In January 2007 Lonza agreed to temporarily suspend such payments until such time as our financial condition improves and we again require the use of the production suite. The payments we will make to Lonza will increase to $175,000 monthly, or $2,100,000 per year, if we require Lonza to build us a larger production facility to meet our requirements for the production of ORCEL. In 2006 and 2005 we incurred charges of $1,591,350 and $1,552,725, respectively, for the use of Lonza’s production facility. These amounts are included in product and laboratory costs. Such annual payments include some services and overhead expenses provided and paid for by Lonza. These annual payments we are required to make increase 3% per annum on the anniversary of the commencement date. We are required to pay 50% of the cost of the construction of that larger production facility up to $1,000,000 (up to $2,500,000 if we terminate our Sales Agency Agreement with Lonza). However, the amount we contribute to the construction of that larger facility will be repaid to us by credits against a portion of the future annual payments of $2,100,000 and of certain other payments we are required to make to Lonza after the larger facility is in use. We are also required to pay specified hourly charges for the Lonza employees engaged in the production of ORCEL as well as certain other charges. After construction of the larger production facility we are required to acquire from Lonza virtually all of our requirements for ORCEL that Lonza can produce. Prior to our election to have Lonza construct the larger production facility for us, either we or Lonza may terminate the agreement on six months notice by us and twelve months notice by Lonza. If we elect to have Lonza construct the larger production facility for us the agreement will continue for six years after the larger production facility is constructed. However, even after such construction we and Lonza may elect to scale down over the following three years the portion of our requirements for ORCEL that Lonza will produce for us. We may elect the scale down period at any time after one year after the larger production facility is constructed and in operation in which event there are additional payments we must make to Lonza. If we elect the scale down period after one year we must pay Lonza $2,625,000 and if we elect the scale down period after two years we must pay Lonza $1,050,000. If we elect the scale down periods in either of those two years, we forfeit our right to receive any further credits (up to the amount of our contribution to the cost of the larger production facility) against payments we are thereafter required to make to Lonza. Either Lonza or we may elect the scale down period later than three years after that facility is in operation and neither of us will be required to make any additional payments to the other because of that election. If after the construction of the larger production facility we breach a material term of our agreement with Lonza, or elect to terminate the agreement, we will have to pay Lonza the following amounts:

If termination occurs after the following
anniversary of the construction of the
larger production facility

In addition, upon such termination we will forfeit our right to receive any further credits (up to the amount of our contribution to the cost of the larger production facility) against future payments we may have to make to Lonza.

Sales & Marketing Agreements

License Agreement: In October 2003, we entered into an exclusive License Agreement with Teva Medical Limited, a subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (Teva) for the sales and marketing of our ORCEL product in Israel. This ten-year agreement, beginning on the date the product is launched for marketing in Israel, requires Teva to seek regulatory and reimbursement approval for ORCEL in Israel. We received an upfront payment of $50,000 in 2003 which we recorded as deferred income, see Note 6. We will receive an additional $50,000 within thirty days of grant of reimbursement approval in Israel, and another $100,000 within 30 days of attainment of aggregate net sales of $3,000,000 in Israel within any period of twelve consecutive calendar months. The agreement also provides for ORCEL pricing and terms of payment. Additionally Teva will pay us royalties of 10% of net sales in Israel up to $5,000,000 per annum. If sales are in excess of $5,000,000 annually Teva will pay us 10% on the first $5,000,000 of sales in Israel and a 20% royalty on sales above $5,000,000 in Israel. As of December 31, 2006, regulatory and reimbursement approval have not been achieved.

Sales Agency Agreement: On October 18, 2004 we entered into a Sales Agency Agreement with Lonza, providing for Lonza to be the exclusive sales agent in the United States for our ORCEL product or any other future bi-layered cellular matrix product of ours for the treatment of venous stasis ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers or any other therapeutic indication for dermatological chronic or acute wound healing. The agreement is for a period of six years beginning sixty days after we receive clearance from the FDA for the commercial sale of our ORCEL for the treatment of venous stasis ulcers. The agreement requires us to pay commissions to Lonza ranging from initially at 40% of net sales and decreasing to 27% of net sales as the amount of sales increases. The agreement requires Lonza to spend $4,000,000 for marketing efforts during the sixteen-month period after the FDA clears our sale of ORCEL for the treatment of venous stasis ulcers.

Lonza has the right to terminate the agreement since we did not receive FDA clearance for commercial sale of ORCEL for the treatment of venous stasis ulcers by April 1, 2005, and has the right to terminate if for any period of six consecutive months beginning in 2007, sales are less than 9,000 units. We may terminate the agreement if sales of ORCEL are less in any twelve month period than amounts targeted in the agreement for that period (ranging from 10,000 units in the first twelve month period to 100,000 units in the sixth twelve month period).

Concurrent with the Sales Agency Agreement we entered into a License Agreement pursuant to which we licensed certain intellectual property rights to Lonza. We also entered into a Security Agreement with Lonza to secure the performance of our obligations under the Manufacturing, License, and Sales Agreement. The secured collateral consists of all accounts, cash, contract rights, payment intangibles, and general intangibles arising out of or in connection with the sale of products pursuant to the sales agreement and/or license agreement, and all supporting obligations, guarantees and other security therefor, whether secured or unsecured, whether now existing or hereafter created. The lien and security interest under this security agreement is subordinate and junior in priority to the perfected lien and security interest granted to Paul Royalty Fund as secured party under the Paul Royalty Security Agreement.

In connection with the Sales Agency Agreement, our manufacturing agreement with Lonza was modified so that if Lonza builds us a larger production facility the maximum amount we could be required to contribute to that construction was reduced from $2,500,000 to $1,000,000.

Supply Agreements

Cell supply agreement: In April 2004, we entered into a Material Supply Agreement with ES Cell International Pte Ltd.(ESI). Under the terms of the agreement, we provided ESI with human skin cells generated from cell lines developed and manufactured by us for use in our ORCEL product. We received a $50,000 up-front fee upon the signing of the agreement and we received an additional $150,000 upon first delivery of certain specified cell lines. We have recorded these amounts in interest and other income in 2004. We will receive milestone payments of $150,000 within 30 days of an investigational new drug filing for the ESI Focus Cell Therapy line and an additional $150,000 upon ESI’s receiving regulatory approval for marketing of the ESI Focus Cell Therapy product. We will additionally receive royalties equivalent to .5% of product sales revenue or license or distribution fees or other payments. The payment of these additional amounts are wholly dependent on ESI achieving their milestones. No additional payments were received in 2005 or 2006.

Collagen sponge supplier: We purchase bovine collagen sponges, a key component of ORCEL, from one supplier who produces the sponges to our specifications. On December 30, 2004 we entered into a two-year supply agreement with this supplier. Under such agreement we agreed to minimum purchase commitments. We agreed to purchase a minimum of 3,500 units of finished collagen sponges within the first twelve-month period. The value of such commitment is approximately $200,000. Such commitment was not achieved in 2005 or 2006 and we were released from any resulting liability by the supplier. We also agreed that subsequent to a written notification from the FDA allowing us to sell ORCEL commercially for treatment of venous stasis ulcers we will provide such supplier projections for one or more subsequent quarters and the parties will be obligated to purchase and sell those projected amounts.

Government Regulation

We are subject to extensive government regulation. Products for human treatment are subject to rigorous preclinical and clinical testing procedures as a condition for clearance by the FDA and approval by similar authorities in foreign countries prior to commercial sale. Presently, we are continuing our clinical trials for the use of our product in the treatment of patients with venous stasis ulcers and to submit the results of our human clinical trials to the FDA; however, it is not possible for us to determine whether the results achieved from the human clinical trials will be sufficient to obtain FDA approval. If we are unable to obtain FDA approval, we may no longer be able to continue our operations. It is not possible for us to determine whether the results achieved from that human clinical trial will be sufficient to obtain FDA clearance.

16 - INCOME TAXES

We have deferred start-up costs for income tax purposes and intend to elect to amortize such costs over a period of 60 months, under Section 195(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, when we commence operations.

At December 31, 2006, we had net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $35,526,000 for Federal and New York State income tax purposes expiring through 2026. Due to the merger of Skin Group with and into Ortec in July 1992, and the merger of Hapto Biotech, Inc. on April 14, 2006, the net operating losses and other built-in deductions existing at that time were subject to annual limitations pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Our ability to utilize net operating losses and other built-in deductions generated after that date may be limited in the future due to additional issuances of our common stock or other changes in control, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations.

For financial statement purposes, a valuation allowance of approximately $69,612,000 at December 31, 2006 has been recognized to offset entirely our deferred tax assets, which arose primarily from our operating loss carry-forwards and the deferral of start-up expenses for tax purposes, as the realization of such deferred tax assets is uncertain. Components of our deferred tax asset are as follows:

The income tax benefit of $489,000 for 2006 principally consists of two $250,000 credits for 2005 and 2006, or $500,000 in the aggregate, granted to the Company under a New York State (NYS) Qualified Emerging Technology Company program. The program provides cash incentives to emerging technology companies with emerging technology products whose sales are under $10,000,000, a workforce less than 101 employees of which 75% must be in NYS, and research and development activities in NYS with a ratio for funds to net sales greater than or equal to 6 percent.

17 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of an entity’s financial instrument assets and liabilities. For us, financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, loans payable and other long-term obligations.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying value reasonably approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments.

Loans Payable and Other Long-term Obligations

Based on borrowing rates currently available to us for other financings with similar terms and maturities, the carrying value of our loans payable, capital lease obligations and other long-term obligations approximate the fair value.

18 - RETIREMENT PLAN

We maintain a defined contribution 401(k) savings plan (401(k) plan) for the benefit of eligible employees. Under the 401(k) plan, a participant may elect to defer a portion of annual compensation. Contributions to the 401(k) plan are immediately vested in plan participants' accounts. Plan expenses were $835 and $4,485 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We do not match employee contributions.

19 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Bridge Financing: During the period January through June 2007, we received bridge loans aggregating $1,989,000. These loans mature on various dates between February 28 and June 30, 2007, respectively, and are due on demand anytime after such dates. These loans accrue interest at 15% after their due date. The loans were repayable at 110% of their $1,989,000 face value, or $2,187,900. The lenders had the option to convert their loan at 125% of the loaned amount plus any accrued interest into our next private placement described hereafter. At the time of the closing of the private placement agreed to issue a warrant to the lenders to purchase shares of our common stock, (the "Bridge Warrant") on the identical terms as the warrants we issue in the Private Placement, except that the exercise price of the warrant issued to the bridge lenders will be no more than $1.00 per share. Such warrant will entitle the holder to purchase so many shares of our common stock as if the holder had invested the face value of his bridge note in the private placement. Such warrant will provide for piggyback registration rights for the shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrant. $139,500 of these notes came either from a member of our board of directors or entities which they control.

Exchange Agreement: On January 29, 2007 we entered into an Exchange Agreement, amended March 22, 2007 and May 11, 2007 with PRF for PRF to exchange its interest in our future revenues, as described above and valued as our obligation at $38,450,000 at December 31, 2006, for a new series of our convertible preferred stock with a stated value of $11,000,000 conditioned on the occurrence of certain events described below. Upon the close of our Exchange Agreement with PRF our earlier agreements described above with PRF will be cancelled.

One condition for the consummation of the exchange is our securing $8,000,000 of new financing by sale of a different new series of our convertible preferred stock which, except for priority of liquidation preferences, will have terms substantially identical to the new series of our convertible preferred stock to be received by PRF. Included in such $8,000,000 amount of new financing would be up to $2,800,000 of the principal amount of bridge notes we have issued and will issue for interim financing we have secured and hope to secure, which are exchanged for our new convertible preferred stock. Beginning in October 2006 to June 2007 we have received $3,049,000 in such bridge financing. The preferred stock to be received by PRF would be convertible to our common stock by dividing its stated value by the conversion price of our new preferred stock to be purchased by investors. As described below, on June 18, 2007, such financing was secured.
 
Other conditions to the closing of our Exchange Agreement with PRF include the payment of PRF’s counsel legal fees, the resignation of five of our seven directors, the resignations of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and the execution by us and our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of agreements, upon terms acceptable to PRF, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and those among the new investors providing a majority of the new investment funds, canceling the termination of employment agreements we entered into with our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in 2002.
 
In the Exchange Agreement PRF agreed to extend its forbearance agreement with us to May 1, 2007.

Insurance Premium Financing Payable: On February 2, 2007, we entered into a commercial premium finance agreement with First Insurance Funding Corp. of New York in the amount of $138,000. The financing agreement bore interest at 7.3 % and required nine monthly payments of $15,803 beginning March 2007. The financing was utilized to fund the premium payments for our directors and officers insurance policy. 

Series H Warrant Offer: Beginning on February 13, 2007 we offered all holders of the Series H warrants to purchase 2,169,111 shares of our common stock the opportunity to exchange these warrants for 2,169,111 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 542,278 shares of common stock in the upcoming private placement on the same terms as those warrants issued in the future private placement. The offer was contingent on 100% acceptance. The offer was extended to June 8, 2007. Holders of 1,969,111 shares accepted this offer.

On June 10, 2007, pursuant to the term of the Series H warrant our Board of Directors voted to lower the prices of all Series H warrants to $0.50 from their current price of $7.50. Such reduction does not increase the number of warrants outstanding pursuant to the terms of the warrant. Although holders representing only 91% agreed to the terms of the Series H warrant offer, the Board of Directors agreed to consummate the exchanges with the holders who accepted the offer provided that they agreed to waive any claims that they may have under the April 2006 private placement agreement and provided they returned their Series H warrants.

Stock to Directors: On February 19, 2007, the Board of Directors awarded 60,000 shares and 50,000 shares, respectively to Dr. Lilien and Dr. Schiff, for their service as members on our Audit Committee. Both awards were made as a result of our long outstanding fees due these directors for their services and to ensure their continuing contribution. The awards were made pursuant to the 2006 Stock Award and Incentive Plan.

Restatements: On April 17, 2007, we filed quarterly restatements of our March, June and September 2006 quarterly filings in response to certain comments raised by the Securities and Exchange Commission as well as internal findings.

Delisting: On April 22, 2007, we were delisted from the Over the Counter Bulletin Board and moved to the Pink Sheets. Such delisting was a result of our failure to timely file our 10-KSB as a result of capital funding issues.

Rent Stipulation: By letter agreement of June 5, 2007, we entered into a Affidavit of Confession of Judgment as to the amount of $321,139 rent due to Columbia University under our lease that had been in arrears. We also entered into a Surrender and Acceptance Agreement on same date. Such amount is payable by June 18, 2007 or in accordance with these agreements our lease will be terminated and the judgment entered against us. We would have to therefore vacate the premises. We expect to pay such amounts on June 19, 2007.

Bridge Notes, Series A Private Placement, and PRF Exchange: On June 18, 2007 we completed a number of simultaneous financing transactions:

 
·
During the period January through May 2007, we received bridge loans aggregating $1,839,000 with varying maturities beginning February 28, 2007 and ending June 30, 2007. Including bridge notes issued prior to December 31, 2006 there were $2,899,000 of notes outstanding prior to completion of our private placement. These loans were due on demand after their maturity dates and accrued interest of 15% after such dates, yet no holder exercised their demand rights. These loans were either repayable in cash at 110% of face value or the lenders were given an option to convert their loan at 125% of the loaned amount plus any accrued interest into the private placement described below. On June 18, 2007 we repaid $197,500 of bridge notes, or $226,936 including a $19,750 premium and $9,686 of accrued interest. Bridge notes totaling $2,701,500 with $94,264 of accrued interest, or $2,795,764, rolled into the private placement at 125% of face value, or $3,494,705. All noteholders received five year Series A warrants to purchase 3,009,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share.

 
·
We completed a private placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (A Preferred) with warrants attached. We sold 579.148 shares of A Preferred which had a stated value of $10,000 per share and received gross cash proceeds from such sales of $ 5,791,475. At the same time holders of bridge notes who had loaned us an aggregate of $2,701,500 exchanged such bridge notes at 125% of their original loan amounts for 349.470 A Preferred shares. Each $10,000 A Preferred share converts into 20,000 shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of $0.50 per common share. Our outstanding 928.618 shares of A Preferred can be converted into an aggregate of 18,572,360 shares of our common stock. Each holder of A Preferred shares received a five year warrant to purchase 50% of the number of his A Preferred as converted shares, or warrants to purchase an aggregate 9,286,180 shares of common stock exercisable at $1.00 per share. Additionally each purchaser and bridge loan investor who acquired A Preferred also received Series M warrants which are exercisable at $0.50 per share at any time hereafter during the period ending thirty days after we have announced receipt of written notice from the FDA clearing our right to sell ORCEL for the treatment of venous stasis ulcers. The number of Series M warrants issued was correlated to the type of investor. Purchasers and bridge note investors who participated in the private placement received Series M warrants to purchase 50% of the A Preferred as converted shares that they received in the private placement, and 100% if they invested $3,500,000 or more (Lead Investor(s)) in the purchase of A Preferred shares. We issued Series M warrants to purchase an aggregate 12,386,180 shares of common stock to investors in the private placement. Those purchasers and bridge loan investors who received Series M warrants also received five year Series M-1 warrants, exercisable at $1.00 per share, entitling them to purchase 50% of the number of our common shares they purchase upon exercise of their Series M warrants. The placement agent who arranged the private placement financing will receive 10% of the cash proceeds we received from the bridge notes and in the private placement , and five year warrants to purchase our 1,857,236 shares of our common stock exercisable at $0.55 per share (10% of the as converted amount of Series A Preferred shares), and warrants to purchase 641,809 shares of our common stock exercisable at $0.55 per share (5% of the amount of Series M warrants).

We entered into Cancellation Agreements with our chief executive officer (CEO) and Chairman canceling termination of employment agreements we entered into with them in 2002. Such termination of employment agreements required substantial payments we would have to make to them in the event of the involuntary termination of their employments with us. Under such agreements we will make initial payments of $235,000 and $65,000, respectively, to them (including $25,000 to each as part of the consideration for cancellation of their deferred compensation). Thirty days after we receive the first response from the FDA to our pre-market application for clearance to make commercial sales of ORCEL to treat venous stasis ulcers (FDA’s 100 Day Letter), we will pay them $90,000 and $45,000, respectively. Seven months after we receive the FDA’s 100 Day Letter we will pay them $190,000 and $75,000, respectively. The post 100 Day Letter payments of $90,000 and $45,000, respectively, will be accelerated in certain events. Our CEO and Chairman will receive five-year warrants to purchase 2,100,000 and 2,045,979 shares, respectively, of our common stock at $0.55 per share. These share amounts will increase by 3 ½ % of any shares in excess of 27,692,278 shares of common stock which we are required to issue upon conversion of A Preferred shares and upon exercise of Series A warrants sold in the aforementioned private placement. We will also issue additional five year warrants to each of them entitling them to purchase so many shares of our common stock equal to 3½ % of the number of shares of our common stock we issue, or are required to issue upon conversion or exercise of securities we issue, in the period ending 30 days after (and if) we receive FDA clearance for commercial sales of our ORCEL product for the treatment of venous leg ulcers: (i) in financings in which we receive up to $6,300,000 and (ii) to our creditors in satisfaction of our obligations to them in excess of the number of shares we issue in such period in satisfaction of $3,000,000 of debt we owe. The additional warrants we may issue to our CEO and Chairman will also be exercisable at $0.55 per common share. Our CEO and Chairman agreed to cancel all their presently held options and warrants to purchase our common stock.

We owed deferred compensation to our CEO and our chairman of $233,300 and $366,221, respectively. Our chairman and CEO agreed to cancel these obligations we owed them in exchange for payments of $25,000 each and an option to purchase 12 shares of our A Preferred for our CEO and 8 shares of our A Preferred for our Chairman (stated value liquidation preference of $10,000 per share), plus the number of Series A, M, and M-1 warrants they would have received if they had purchased such A Preferred shares for the $10,000 per share price paid by the investors in the private placement. Such options are exercisable at $100 per A Preferred share (plus the percentage of Series A, M and M-1 warrants comparable to the percentage that the purchased A Preferred share(s) has to the total of A Preferred shares that could be purchased upon the full exercise of the option. The option expires thirty days after we publicly announce FDA clearance for sale of our ORCEL product to treat venous stasis ulcers.

 
·
We entered into an Exchange Agreement with PRF to exchange their interest in our future revenues (recorded as a $38,450,000 liability at December 31, 2006) for shares of our new Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (A-1 Preferred) and shares of our of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (A-2 Preferred), each having a stated value/liquidation preference of $5,000,000. The stated values of the A-1 and A-2 Preferred can be converted to common stock at conversion rates of $0.50 and $5.00 per share, respectively, or 11,000,000 common shares on an as converted basis for both the A-1 and A-2 Preferred. Our earlier agreements described in Note 9 with PRF were cancelled and liens were therefore removed from our intellectual property.

 
·
Under an advisory agreement with our placement agent, primarily as compensation for our recent financial restructuring transactions including the PRF exchange transaction, H Warrant exchange, and assistance with the cancellation of termination of employment agreements with our CEO and chairman, we agreed to issue warrants, identical to those issued in the Series A financing, to purchase 2,000,000 shares of our common stock exercisable at $0.55 per share. In addition we agreed to exchange all Series E, Series E PA, Series F and Series F PA warrants held by our placement agent, affiliates or designees, or sub-agents that are participating in the Series A Financing, for our common stock. We also agreed that under such advisory agreement the placement agent will be paid a transaction fee based on the closing of a strategic transaction of 3% of the first $50 million, 2% of the next $50 million up to $100 million, and 1% of aggregate consideration un excess of $100 million. Such advisory agreement will be in effect until June 15, 2008.

Other significant aspects of the private placement and financing transactions were:

i.
We are required to file a registration statement within 90 days of the closing for the shares of our common stock (a) into which the A Preferred and the A-1 Preferred can be converted and (ii) issuable upon exercise of our Series M warrants. We are required to have such registration statement declared effective within 150 days of filing (Effectiveness Date). If we fail to file on time we will pay liquidated damages in cash of 2% of the Holders initial investment in the A Preferred and the stated value of the A-1 Preferred. If the filing is not declared effective by the 30th day following the Effectiveness Date we will pay 1% of that amount. If we are limited by the SEC as to the number of shares we can register pursuant to SEC Rule 415, the 1% fee will be applied only to those shares that could have been registered as required by our agreement. In either case our liquidated damages are capped at 24% in the aggregate.

 
ii.
The exercise prices of the warrants and the conversion price of the Series A and A-1 Preferred will be adjusted downward (full-ratchet anti-dilution protection) for any equity issuances (other than permitted issuances) hereafter made by us at a price lower than the conversion or exercise price. Such full ratchet protection will cease and become standard weighted average anti-dilution protection when and if we are successful in obtaining FDA approval for commercial sale of ORCEL for the treatment of venous stasis ulcers.

 
iii.
Subject to a registration statement being in effect or Rule 144 (k) being available for public sale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the A Preferred (a) if the closing bid price of the our common stock is equal to or greater than $1.50 for ten (10) consecutive trading days, 1/3 of the A Preferred Stated Value shall automatically convert into shares of our common stock; (b) if the closing bid price is equal to or greater than $2.00 for ten (10) consecutive trading days then such portion of the A Preferred Stated Value shall automatically convert into shares of our common stock so that, together with the earlier automatic conversion, 2/3 of the original Stated Value shall have converted, and (c) if the closing bid price of our common stock is equal to or greater than $3.00 for ten (10) consecutive trading days then all of the A Preferred holders Stated Value not theretofore converted shall automatically convert into shares of our common stock.

 
iv.
 Beginning twelve months following the issuance date, the Series A Warrants may be exercised pursuant to a cashless exercise if the common shares underlying the warrants are not included for public sale in an effective registration statement. Subject to Ownership Blockers, which may be waived by the holder on 61 days notice, the Series A Warrants shall be redeemable for $0.01 per warrant if (i) the common shares underlying the warrants are subject to an effective registration statement, and (ii) the closing bid price is equal to or greater than $3.00 for ten (10) consecutive trading days.

 
v.
With the exception of $5,000,000 of securities issued prior to December 31, 2007, ranking pari passu with the Series A, A-1, and A-2 preferred allowable only if the FDA approval has not yet been obtained, as long as $2 million of stated valued of the Series A and A-1 remain outstanding we are prohibited from issuing any securities that rank senior to or pari passu with the Series A, A-1, and A-2 without the approval of at least 30% of the Series A and A-1 preferred outstanding.

 
vi.
As long as the A Preferred is outstanding, the Lead Investor will receive the right for the next two years to invest up to 40% of the securities being offered in such subsequent financing (as defined) on the same terms being offered in such future financing.

 
vii.
As long as the A and A-1 Preferred are outstanding, and as long as we have not received FDA approval, these holders may exchange their preferred shares at their stated values for equity securities which have more favorable terms in a future financing.

We are in the process of evaluating the accounting ramifications of the June 18, 2007 transactions and based on our preliminary analysis we expect the transactions will have a material effect on the balance sheet and statement of operations.

PART II - INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the personal liability of the directors of the Registrant shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (DGCL). Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL generally provides that no director shall be liable personally to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that the Certificate of Incorporation does not eliminate the liability of a director for (1) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders; (2) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3) acts or omissions in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases; or (4) any transaction from which such director derives an improper personal benefit. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the rights of the Registrant and its stockholders to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of her or his fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (1) through (4) above. The limitations summarized above, however, do not affect the ability of the Registrant or its stockholders to seek nonmonetary remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, against a director for breach of her or his fiduciary duty.

In addition, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Registrant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant to Section 145 of the DGCL. In general, Section 145 of the DGCL permits the Registrant to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant or, when so serving at the Registrant’s request, another company who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceedings because of his or her position, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, has no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

The Registrant maintains a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy covering certain liabilities that may be incurred by any director or officer in connection with the performance of his or her duties and certain liabilities that may be incurred by the Registrant, including the indemnification payable to any director or officer. The entire premium for such insurance is paid by the Registrant.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

(1)(2)(3) The above sales were all exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), for the following reasons:

 
(1)
Pursuant to Regulation D because all the purchasers were accredited investors.
 
(2)
Pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.
 
(3)
Pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Act as a security exchanged by the issuer with its existing security holders exclusively where no commission or other remuneration is paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange.

During the past 3 years we issued an aggregate of 109,000 shares of our common stock to our four executive officers and 2,000 shares to one other employee. These were restricted stock grants which these executive officers and employees would have lost in whole, or in part if such person was no longer employed by us on May 31, 2007. Such restricted stock grants were exempt from the registration requirements of the Act because no sales of securities were involved and also pursuant to Section 4(2) as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS

The undersigned small business issuer hereby undertakes:

 
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 (b) if, in the aggregate the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

 
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

 
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Ortec International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing by the Company of a registration statement on Form SB-2 (the "Registration Statement"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), relating to the public offering of 93,009,126 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, being offered by certain selling stockholders identified under the heading "Selling Stockholders" in the prospectus included as part of the Registration Statement. The 93,009,126 shares offered by the selling stockholders are, in this opinion, collectively referred to as the "Shares".

We have examined the Registration Statement, originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Company's certificate of incorporation and by-laws, records of corporate proceedings, including minutes of meetings and written consents of the Company's Board of Directors and stockholders, certificates of public officials and officers and authorized representatives of the Company, and such other certificates, instruments and documents, and we have made such examination of law, as we have deemed necessary to render the opinion expressed below. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and conformity to authentic originals of all documents submitted to us as copies thereof.

Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that all of the 93,009,126 Shares qualified by the Registration Statement for sale in the public securities markets by the Selling Stockholders have been duly authorized and

(c)
of such shares the following will, upon the exercise of the following warrants and options issued by the Company and payment of the warrant and option exercise prices, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 
(i)
15,316,291 shares upon the exercise of the Series A warrants;
     
 
(ii)
11,746 shares upon the exercise of the Series B-1 warrants;

200,000 shares upon the exercise of the Series G warrants;
     
 
(x)
166,667 shares upon the exercise of the Series H warrants;
     
 
(xi)
15,466,680 shares upon the exercise of the Series M warrants;
     
 
(xii)
7,733,340 shares upon the exercise of the Series M-1 warrants;
     
 
(xiii)
5,610,023 shares upon the exercise of the options and warrants held by our former chief executive officer and our former chairman;
     
 
(xiv)
5,156,670 shares upon exercise of the warrants held by the placement agent in our June 2007 private placement; and
