NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Canadian funds)

(Unaudited)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2006

1.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.  They do not include all disclosures required in annual financial statements but rather are prepared in accordance with recommendations for interim financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies, and methods as those used by the Company in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments), which are necessary to present fairly the financial position as at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

a)

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.  All cash and cash equivalents are under the custodianship of two major Canadian financial institutions.  

b)

The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements and the revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.

c)

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130), “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components and requires restatement of all previously reported information for comparative purposes.  For the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2006 and 2005, comprehensive income was the same as net earnings.

REVENUES

Revenue for the nine month period includes products sold in Canada, international sales of products and raw materials sold at cost to our European licensee.  For the three month period ended September 30, 2006, the Company has used estimates for its calculation of royalty revenues from the European licensee sales, as these sales numbers were not available to the Company at the time of this reporting.  The licensee is not required to report these sales numbers to the Company until 45 days subsequent to the end of quarter at which payment is also received.  This estimate is based on historical experience and based on trends set.  The total of this estimate for the three month period ended September 30, 2006, is $94,606 (2005 - $92,514).  Any adjustments due to a difference in sales from the estimate will be treated as a current period adjustment.  Revenue earned for the nine month period is as follows:

10.

CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS (continued)

The agreement involves royalty payments, which initially were based on 5% of the total sales of

Uracyst at a declining rate of 1% per year over a three year period, declining to a 2% rate effective October 1, 2003. This royalty will remain at 2% until the end of the agreement on September 30, 2008. In this quarter, royalty payments were $1,161 (September 30, 2005 - $759).  The total royalty payments for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 were $3,556 (September 30, 2005 - $2,593). These amounts have been recorded as royalty expense in selling, general and administrative.

In February 2002, the Company entered into a royalty agreement for products which were introduced to the Company by a consultant.  The agreement involves royalty payments, which will be paid based on gross dollar sales.   The schedule for royalty payments is presently calculated on SkeliteTM sales as follows:

First $1,000,000 in sales – 3%

        

Second $1,000,000 in sales – 2%

         

All sales over $2,000,000 – 1% out to the 5th year.

(b)

License Agreements

In July 2006, the Company finalized an exclusive licensing agreement with Bio-Technic Romania SRL for the distribution and sale of NeoVisc in Romania.  In exchange for the right to market and sell NeoVisc, Romania is responsible to obtain all necessary regulatory approvals at its sole cost and will pay Stellar a specified volume purchase price per box of NeoVisc.  This agreement has an initial three-year term from the date of regulatory approval in Romania and may be renewed for an additional three-year term with the mutual agreement of both parties.

5 years

Accumulated gross development costs as at September 30, 2006 were $1,358,593 (2005 - $369,455) for products which are all available for sale.  For the period ended September 30, 2006, the Company did not incur any additional manufacturing development costs associated with the development of products. Costs associated to deferred manufacturing development costs for Canadian GAAP purposes cannot be capitalized under United States GAAP.  Amortization in regards to these development costs starts once the product is ready for sale in the market.

INCOME TAXES


The Company has had no taxable income under the Federal and Provincial tax laws for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.  The Company has loss carry-forwards at September 30, 2006 totaling $4,500,046 (2005 - $3,764,780) that may be offset against future taxable income.  If not utilized, the loss carry-forwards will expire between 2007 and 2016.


The loss carry-forwards are the only significant temporary difference at September 30, 2006 and 2005.  As it is more likely than not that benefits from these losses will not be realized, no deferred tax assets have been recognized in the accompanying balance sheet.

OTHER PRODUCT COSTS

In November 2005, the Company experienced reports of side effects with one of its products. After the completion of extensive tests, the Company has decided to write-down the value of the remaining product being held.  This product was carried in the past as raw material, work in process and finished goods.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This document was prepared on November 8, 2006 and should be read in conjunction with the September 30, 2006 unaudited interim financial statements of the Company.  All amounts are in Canadian funds.

OVERVIEW

Stellar Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Stellar" or the "Company"), founded in 1994, is a Canadian pharmaceutical company involved in the development and commercialization of high quality, polysaccharide-based therapeutic products used in the treatment of osteoarthritis and certain types of cystitis.  Stellar also markets a test kit that confirms the existence of bladder lining defects in interstitial cystitis ("IC") (an inflammatory disease of the urinary bladder wall) patients and identifies those patients who should respond positively to the Company’s proprietary therapeutic product. Stellar’s product development strategy focuses on seeking novel applications for its product technologies in markets where its products demonstrate true cost effective therapeutic advantages.  Stellar is also building revenues through in-licensing products for Canada that are focused on similar niche markets and out-licensing to international markets.

Stellar has developed and is marketing three products in Canada based on its core polysaccharide technology:

(i)

NeoVisc®, for the treatment of osteoarthritis;

(ii)

Uracyst®; for the treatment of IC, and;

(iii)

Uracyst® Test Kit, Stellar’s patented technology for the diagnosis of IC.  

Stellar also has acquired the exclusive Canadian marketing and distribution rights for:

(i)

Millenium Biologix Inc.’s Skelite™, a proprietary synthetic bone grafting product; and

(ii)

Matritech’s NMP22® BladderChek®, a proteomics-based diagnostic test for the diagnosis and monitoring of bladder cancer.  

Effective December 2001, Stellar entered into a strategic licensing agreement with G. Pohl-Boskamp GmbH & Co. ("Pohl-Boskamp") for the sale of Uracyst products in Europe. In December of 2003, Pohl-Boskamp received approval to begin selling Uracyst in Europe. Pohl-Boskamp continues to make sales progress in the European markets in which it currently sells Uracyst (Germany, Netherlands, Austria, UK and Scandinavian countries).

Stellar began selling Skelite to the Canadian market in February 2004 and NMP22 BladderChek in Canada, in October 2004.  Skelite has had a small impact on 2006 sales, NMP22 BladderCheck has shown improvement in sales growth in 2006 and is expected to play a larger part in the sales mix going forward.

In June 2004, Stellar entered into a NeoVisc licensing agreement with Triptibumis Sdn. Bhd. for Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. The first shipment to this market was initiated in October 2004.


In July 2005, Stellar entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with INNOGEN İLAÇ SAN. TİC. LTD. ŞTİ. ("Innogen") for the sale of NeoVisc in Turkey. Sales of NeoVisc will not commence until Innogen is in receipt of all required approvals from Turkish authorities. Stellar believes that sales of NeoVisc in Turkey should commence in late 2006. Viscosupplementation therapy is well established in Turkey, representing a market value in excess of US $12,000,000 per year.

In August 2005, Stellar signed a licensing agreement with TECHNIMED of Anteljas, Lebanon in respect of the distribution and sale of NeoVisc in Lebanon.

In September 2005, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Shanghai Ya Jun Medical for the sale of Uracyst in China. Stellar also entered into a licensing agreement with Mega Pharm for the sale of Uracyst in Israel in December 2005.




Page 16





In November 2005, the Company signed a distribution agreement with Al-Mohab Co. for the sale of NeoVisc® in Kuwait.


In July 2006, the Company finalized a licensing agreement with Bio-Technic Romania SRL for the distribution and sale of NeoVisc in Romania.              

Stellar markets its products in Canada through its own direct sales force of commissioned and salaried sales people. The Company’s focus on product development continues to be both in-licensing and out-licensing for immediate impact on the revenue stream allowing Stellar to fund its own in-house product development for future growth and stability.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006


Revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2006, decreased by 13.6% to $429,868 from $497,789 compared to the same quarter in 2005. This decline was the result of a slow July and August sales period compared to 2005, which had higher sales volumes due to a then pending price increase. A return to normal movement was seen in September 2006 with sales increasing for all products, growing by 17.2% over September 2005.


Canadian Uracyst sales grew by 54.7% for the quarter compared to the same quarter in 2005, as the Canadian sales and marketing strategy on Uracyst continues to show good results. Royalty revenues for Europe continue to be estimated for this period.  For the third quarter of 2006, the Company estimated an increase of 5.3% in these royalties over the same period in 2005 based on the prior six months sales and an estimated lower uptake in sales for the UK.

Sales for NMP22 BladderChek decreased by 3.6% for the quarter compared to the same quarter in 2005. Sales demand was flat in July and August but grew by 107% in September 2006 compared to September 2005.  This growth is expected to continue into the last quarter as more and more urologists recognize the benefits offered by BladderChek.

Stellar’s operating loss for the third quarter of 2006 declined by 41.2% to $282,830 from $481,081 for the same period in 2005. This decrease is related to the Company’s efforts to reduce costs with its goal to move to profitability.  

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006

Revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, decreased by 7.3% to $1,316,067 compared to $1,419,428 for the same period in 2005. The decline in sales in 2006, was driven by a reduction in Canadian NeoVisc sales for the nine month period, down 25.6% compared to the same period in 2005. The Company attributes this to weaker demand in the last two quarters compared to the previous year and aggressive competition from two new viscosupplement entries in the Canadian viscosupplement market.


Canadian sales of Uracyst continued to show a positive upward trend, with sales growing by 38.2% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, as the Canadian sales and marketing strategy on Uracyst continues to show good results. Sales for the European market for the third quarter of 2006 were not available at the time of this report and therefore have been estimated based on historical experience. Although there can be no assurance, it has been estimated that these sales will be up by 24.4% over the same period in 2005.

Sales for NMP22 BladderChek increased by 43.9% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005. However, this growth remains slower than forecasted but is showing good signs of improvement as more and more Canadian urologists recognize the benefits offered by BladderChek.  



Page 17





Consulting costs for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 increased due primarily to a service agreement the Company entered into with Advisory Associates Inc. to assist in finding new opportunities for its products in the United States market. There were also increased costs during this period associated with the Company’s focus on successfully acquiring a European CE mark for NeoVisc and Domain registration for both Uracyst and NeoVisc in Europe.  The total costs associated with these two projects in the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 was $112,206, these costs have been expensed to selling, general and administrative.

Stellar’s operating loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 declined by 34.1% to $892,548 from $1,353,802 for the same period in 2005. This decrease is related to the Company’s efforts to reduce costs with its goal to move to profitability.  

Cost of Sales

Cost of goods sold for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, was $303,652 or 29.6% of product sales compared to $253,577 or 21.4% of product sales for the same period in 2005. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, the cost of sales was negatively affected by a $48,624 expense, which was associated with ongoing stability testing for the new high molecular weight NeoVisc.

Other Product Costs

The Company has recorded $41,949 as other product costs, which includes a write-down of raw material, finished goods in process and finished goods relating to a previous product recall.

Research and Development

Stellar continues to invest in research, which is essential to advancing the use of its products in Canada and in international markets. In the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, the Company incurred $174,310, in research and development costs compared to $624,072 during the same period in 2005. The completion of manufacturing process development work which occurred throughout 2005 is the main reason for the reduction in research and development costs in the 2006 period.

Expenditures incurred over the last two years on process development are expected to improve Stellar’s competitiveness in the global viscosupplement market. Stellar continues work on an open-label, community-based, clinical trial for Uracyst, which will assist Stellar in demonstrating the effectiveness of Uracyst in the treatment of GAG deficient cystitis, such as IC. The Company also continues to invest in development research with the University of Oklahoma related to Uracyst. During the first nine months of 2006 costs associated with this work totaled $123,285.


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 were down 12.2% to $1,571,380 compared to $1,789,399 for the same period in 2005. This includes the cost of $104,105 related to non-cash expenses for the vesting of Common Share options issued to directors, officers, employees and consultants. During this period, the Company provided in cash, remuneration to members of the board of directors, totaling $31,500 (2005 - $32,166).

Business Development

Progress continues to be made as Stellar focuses on a number of business development activities associated with out-licensing Stellar’s current products in international markets, in-licensing products for the Canadian market and developing additional products.  As previously referenced to in the overview, Stellar entered into a new out-licensing and distribution agreement in 2006 for NeoVisc distribution in Romania and continues to work on expanding its global presence. The Company anticipates revenues to continue to build from these out-licensing agreements during 2006 and on.



Page 18





During the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, $53,502 was incurred in Business Development costs. Total fees of $45,907 were associated with obtaining the CE mark in Europe.  The remaining expense related to costs associated with ongoing international agreements. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

INTEREST INCOME AND GAIN ON INVESTMENTS

Interest and other income during the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 was $27,410 (2005-$98,670). This amount includes interest received on a short-term investment for both 2005 and 2006, and the gain on a sale of short term investments for 2005. Cash will be maintained in liquid investments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,077,177 at September 30, 2006 as compared with $1,300,245 at June 30, 2006.

At September 30, 2006, the Company did not have any outstanding indebtedness.

While the Company has generated royalty revenue and revenue from the distribution of pharmaceutical products in Canada, this revenue has been insufficient to fund the Company’s business activities to date. The Company continued to incur losses in the first nine months of 2006 and drew from its holdings of cash and cash equivalents.  It is not anticipated that the Company’s goal to move to a profitable status by the end of 2006 will be achieved.  This is principally due to lower than anticipated sales volumes and a product recall. However, the Company's financial performance continues to improve as domestic and international sales continue to grow and additional licensing agreements are put in place.  This improved financial performance will help the Company fund its future growth from the sale of its products, from milestone payments and from the royalty income resulting from out-licensing agreements for at least the next 24 months.

The Company may seek additional funding, primarily by way of one or more equity offerings, to carry out its business plan and to minimize risks to its operations. The market for equity financing for companies such as Stellar is challenging and there can be no assurance that additional funding will become available by way of equity financing. Any additional equity financing may result in significant dilution to the existing shareholders at the time of such financing. The Company may also seek additional funding from other sources, including technology licensing, co-development collaborations, and other strategic alliances. Such funding, if obtained, may reduce the Company’s interest in its projects or products. Regardless, there can be no assurance that any alternative sources of funding will be available.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company does not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (SPE), which are established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company entered a fiscal advisory and consulting agreement with LMT Financial Inc. (a company beneficially owned by a director and his spouse) for services to be provided in 2006. Compensation under the agreement is $6,000 per month or $54,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006.

CAPITAL STOCK

The Company has authorized an unlimited number of Common Shares, without par value. There are no other classes of shares that are issued. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, the Company issued 152,500 Common Shares to employees, directors and consultants, who exercised stock options, with an approximate average price per share of $0.33. As of the date of this report, the Company had 23,622,690 Common Shares outstanding.

As of the date of this report, the Company had 1,235,000 Common Share options outstanding at various exercise prices and expiry dates.

SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

During the third quarter of 2006, the Company had one significant customer, a national wholesaler, which represented 34.1% of sales, in comparison to 33.0% in the same quarter for 2005 and 34.3% for the nine month period ending September 30, 2006 compared to 32.9 % for the same period in 2005.

OUTLOOK

As of the date of this report, the Company had working capital of $1,396,013. The Company is debt free and management feels certain that it can continue to fund its ongoing operations from several sources, including the sale of its products, milestone payments and royalty income resulting from out-licensing agreements for at least the next 24 months.

As discussed above under the heading "Liquidity and Capital Resources," the Company may seek additional funding, primarily by way of one or more equity offerings, to carry out its business plan and to minimize risks to its operations. The market for equity financings for companies such as Stellar is challenging, and there can be no assurance that additional funding by way of equity financing will be available. The failure of the Company to obtain additional funding on a timely basis may result in the Company reducing or delaying one or more of its planned research, development and marketing programs and reducing related personnel, any of which could impair the current and future value of the business.  Any additional equity financing, if secured, may result in significant dilution to the existing shareholders at the time of such financing. The Company may also seek additional funding from other sources, including technology licensing, co-development collaborations, and other strategic alliances, which, if obtained, may reduce the Company’s interest in its projects or products. There can be no assurance, however, that any alternative sources of funding will be available.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Stellar is subject to risks, events and uncertainties, or "risk factors", associated with being both a publicly-traded company operating in the biopharmaceutical industry, and as an enterprise with several projects in the research and development stage. Such risk factors could cause reported financial information to not necessarily indicate future operating results or future financial position. The Company cannot predict all of the risk factors nor can it assess the impact, if any, of such risk factors on its business, or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause future results or financial position to differ materially from those reported or those projected in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, reported financial information and forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of future actual results.


Some of the risks and uncertainties affecting the Company, its business, operations and results include, but are not limited to: the Company’s dependence on a few customers and a few suppliers, the loss of any of which would negatively impact the Company’s operations; the need to develop and commercialize new products which will require further time-consuming and costly research and development, the success of which cannot be assured; the Company’s dependency on third parties for manufacturing, materials and for research, development and commercialization assistance and support; the Company’s dependency on assurances from third parties regarding licensing of proprietary technology owned by others; government regulation and the need for regulatory approvals for both the development and commercialization of products, which are not assured; uncertainty that the Company’s products will be accepted in the marketplace; rapid technological change and competition from pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies and universities, which may make the Company’s technology or products obsolete or uncompetitive; the need to attract and retain skilled employees; risks associated with claims of infringement of intellectual property and of proprietary rights; risks inherent in manufacturing (including up-scaling) and marketing; product liability and insurance risks; risks associated with clinical trials, including the possibility that trials may be terminated early, delayed or unsuccessful; exchange rate fluctuations; political, economic and environmental risks; the need for performance by buyers and suppliers of products; the Company’s dependency on performance by its licensees regarding the sale of our licensed-out products, NeoVisc and Uracyst; and the risk of unanticipated expenses or unanticipated reductions in revenue, or both, any of which could cause the Company to reduce, delay or divest one or more of its research, development or marketing programs.
