(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments necessary (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2007, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and for the period from inception through June 30, 2007. The results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in Vyrex’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $13,570,025 a stockholders’ deficiency of $455,436 and negative working capital of $455,436. Due to the Company’s recurring losses, current cash reserve, note payables due in 2007, and stockholders’ deficiency, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional operating capital, which may impact the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through June 30, 2008. The accompanying condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The Company continues to seek additional collaborative or other arrangements with larger pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies, under which such companies would provide additional capital to the Company in exchange for exclusive or non-exclusive licenses or other rights to certain of the technologies and products the Company is developing. Competition for corporate partnering arrangements with major pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies is intense, with a large number of biopharmaceutical companies attempting to arrive at such arrangements. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that an agreement will arise in a timely manner, or at all, or that any agreement that may be reached will successfully reduce the Company’s short-term or long-term funding requirements.
The Company’s major activities through June 30, 2007 have consisted of seeking additional licensing opportunities for its intellectual properties and joint ventures to market its nutraceutical products and initiating the research necessary to take its drug candidates forward into clinical trials. Currently, the major focus for the Company is to raise the funds necessary to continue the testing of its proprietary Proflavone technology, and obtaining a licensing or collaboration agreement to develop its proprietary water pro-drug of propofol phosphate. Proflavones are proprietary nutraceuticals being developed by the Company for cardiovascular, skeletal and cellular health. Proflavones are novel delivery forms of isoflavones. Isoflavones are chemicals (phytochemicals) found in beans, particularly soy.

Table of Contents

Isoflavones are antioxidants and possess estrogenic activity (phytoestrogens) and are thought to have anti-atherogenic, anti-carcinogenic and anti-osteoporotic activities as well. Recently, some isolavones have also been shown to be protective against ionizing radiation (radioprotectants). Radioprotectants have application in oncology, space travel, radiological terrorism and military scenarios. The Company has synthesized a number of its isoflavone prodrug forms covered under U.S. Patent Number 6,541613 and U.S. Patent Application 20030212009. A high priority for the Company is the testing of its Proflavones for radioprotective activity. The Company continually works toward raising funds for outsourcing research and development on its novel technology, seeking additional collaborative partners through exclusive or non-exclusive licensing of its technology and continuing to work with its current partners to generate additional revenues based on existing licensing and royalty agreements. These activities have not generated any significant revenues; accordingly, the Company has been in the development stage since its inception. Successful completion of the Company’s development program and its transition, ultimately, to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon obtaining additional financing adequate to fulfill its research and development activities, and achieving a level of revenue adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these areas. To supplement its existing resources, the Company will require additional capital through the sale of debt or equity. There can be no assurance that such capital will be available on favorable terms, or at all, and if additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, dilution to existing stockholders is likely to result.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
In preparing our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accounting for the underlying transactions and balances reflected therein, we have applied the significant accounting policies described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we updated our significant accounting policies as follows:
Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” or “FIN 48,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” or “SFAS No. 109.” We utilize a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
(3) Commitment and Obligations
In June 2007, the Superior Court of California rendered a money judgment against the Company on behalf of one of its vendors for past services provided. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had accrued the judgment amount plus court fees and daily interest of 10% from the date of the settlement.
(4) Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value. The unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected should be reported in earnings. The decision to elect the fair value options is determined on an instrument by instrument basis, it should be applied to an entire instrument, and it is irrevocable. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value pursuant to the fair value option should be reported separately in the balance sheet from those instruments measured using another measurement attribute. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently analyzing the potential impact of adoption of SFAS No. 159 to its financial statements.

Table of Contents

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not anticipate adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FIN 48-1, or “FSP FIN 48-1,” which clarifies when a tax position is considered settled under FIN 48. The FSP explains that a tax position can be effectively settled on the completion of an examination by a taxing authority without legally being extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if (1) the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained solely on the basis of its technical merits and (2) the statute of limitations remain open. FSP FIN 48-1 should be applied upon the initial adoption of FIN 48. The impact of our adoption of FIN 48 (as of January 1, 2007) is in accordance with this FSP and the implementation has not resulted in any changes to our financial statements.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
Licenses and royalty revenue decreased $4,000 to $2,000 in the current period, compared to $6,000 for the same period in 2006. This decrease was due to an amendment to the license agreement. The amendment stated that from April 01, 2006 forward and throughout the life of the Agreement the licensee shall pay Vyrex a flat quarterly royalty of five percent (5%) of the gross sales of the boron licensed product. Additionally, on April 01, 2006 and thereafter annually on every subsequent April 01, throughout the lifetime of the Agreement the licensee will pay Vyrex an additional seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500.00). The $7,500.00 is to cover the annual license fee Vyrex pays to the original patent holder
General and administrative expenses decreased $20,000 to $26,000 in the current period, compared to $46,000 for the same period in 2006. First quarter expenses were limited to maintenance of patents, and general office expenses such as accounting fees, utility expenses, telephone expenses, rent and postage.
Net loss decreased $16,000 to $29,000 in the current period compared to $45,000 for the same period during 2006. Basic and diluted loss per share decreased $0.01 to $0.03 in the current period compared to $0.04 for the same period during 2006.
Six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
Licenses and royalty revenue decreased $19,000 to $17,000 fox the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $36,000 for the same period during 2006. The decrease in royalty revenue is due to the change in terms within the amended contract that became effective April 1, 2006. Royalty revenue for this period was comprised of our boron compound licensed by the FutureCeuticals Division of Van Drunen Farms.
General and administrative expenses decreased $10,000 to $43,000 in the current period, compared to $53,000 for the same period in 2006. Expenses were limited to maintenance of patents and general office expenses such as accounting fees, utility expenses, telephone expenses, rent and postage.
Net loss increased $10,000 to $37,000 in the current period compared to $27,000 for the same period during 2006, Basic and diluted loss per share decreased $0.01 to $0.04 in the current period compared to $0.03 for the same period during 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has financed its operations since inception solely through the sales of debt and equity securities. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $455,000. Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $9,000, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $3,000 for the same period during 2006.
There can be no assurance that any further revenues will be realized in 2007 or that they will be significant and therefore without additional financing the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company is actively pursuing collaborations with potential partners in both the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical divisions with the objective of raising financing to enable the Company to continue operations. At June 30, 2007, the Company does not have any commitments for additional financing. To date the Company has no prospects for merger or acquisition. The Company does not have any lease or other commitments. The Company does not have an existing bank line of credit or other form of revolving or renewable credit facility. There can be no assurance the Company will generate significant revenues during 2007 to continue its operations, or that funds will be available through the public or private markets.
The Company cannot assure that it will be able to continue business through June 30th, 2008 unless additional funds are received, or the terms of the note payables for $217,000 due October 2007 are renegotiated.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2007, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company, required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings. There were no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation.
PART II Other Information
