HELIX BIOMEDIX, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Preparation
     The unaudited condensed financial statements of Helix BioMedix, Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2007, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required to be presented for complete financial statements. The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     The financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the assumption that users of the interim financial information have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2007.
     The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the entire year ending December 31, 2007.
     The Company had approximately $989,000 in cash and cash equivalents and $1.8 million in marketable securities as of June 30, 2007, and will require additional sources of capital to support its operations. The Company believes that, based upon the current status of the Company’s product development and collaboration plans, its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities should be adequate to satisfy its capital needs at least through the next twelve months. The Company will need substantial funding to further develop its existing programs, including its pharmaceutical program. Accordingly, the Company intends to seek additional funding through available means, which may include debt and/or equity financing.
Reclassification
     Reclassifications of prior years’ balances have been made to conform to the current format. In an effort to provide investors with more details, certain amounts in the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified into individual line items. Specifically, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, changes in accounts receivable as reported in the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows were separated from prepaid expenses and other assets. Similarly, changes in accounts payable, accrued payroll, and accrued expenses were separated into individual line items. On the Condensed Balance Sheets, cost of sales related to deferred revenue has been reclassified to the assets section and presented on the prepaid expenses and other current assets line item. These reclassifications had no material impact on the financial results in the periods presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     Except as described below, there have been no significant changes in recent accounting pronouncements during the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.
     In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Income Tax Uncertainties,” which clarifies the accounting and disclosure 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.” The Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure and transition. Under FIN 48, an entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a “more

(Unaudited)
likely than not” threshold. The Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 2. Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation
     The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and the Company’s experience. Options granted are valued using the single option valuation approach, and the resulting expense is recognized using the cliff, straight-line attribution method, consistent with the single option valuation approach. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R, compensation expense is recognized only for those options expected to vest. The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, was $0.98 and $0.78, respectively. There were no stock options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2007. The per share weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2007, was $0.62 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
                                 
    Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended
    June 30, 2007   June 30, 2006   June 30, 2007   June 30, 2006
Risk-free interest rate
    —       5.06 %     4.58 %     4.97 %
Expected dividend yield
    —       0       0       0  
Expected term in years
    —       6.25       6.25       6.25  
Expected volatility
    —       100 %     100 %     100 %
     The risk-free rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero–coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term. The Company does not anticipate declaring dividends in the foreseeable future. Expected volatility is based on implied volatility of outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock, annualized daily historical volatility of its stock price commensurate with the expected term of the option, and other factors, including peer company data. Expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time from grant until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards, contractual terms, vesting schedules, and expectations of future employee behavior. The Company’s stock price volatility and option term involves management’s best estimates at that time, both of which impact the fair value of the option calculated under the Black-Scholes methodology and, ultimately, the expense that will be recognized over the life of the option. The Company applies an estimated forfeiture rate that is derived from historical employee termination behavior.
     For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, stock-based compensation expense was approximately $56,100 and $238,600, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, stock-based compensation expense was approximately $77,500 and $425,200, respectively.
Stock Option Plan
     The Helix BioMedix 2000 Stock Option Plan (“the 2000 Plan”) provides for the issuance of incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, directors, officers, and consultants and is administered by non-employee directors. The 2000 Plan specifically provides the Company with the ability to repurchase, upon termination of an optionee’s employment, up to 10,000 shares acquired by the optionee through the exercise of options granted thereunder at the then-current fair market value of such shares.
     Stock options to purchase the Company’s common stock are granted at the fair market value on the date of grant. Options generally become exercisable beginning one year from the date of grant and expire 10 years from the date of grant. Options granted to non-employee directors are typically non-qualified stock options with a vesting period ranging from immediately upon grant to quarterly over one year. Stock options granted to employees are typically incentive stock options and vest at the rate of 33.33% after one year, and 2.78% per month thereafter.
     A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2007 is presented in the following table:

Business Overview
     Helix BioMedix, Inc., is a biopharmaceutical company with an extensive library of diverse bioactive peptides and patents covering six distinct classes and hundreds of thousands of peptide sequences. Our mission is to enrich clinical practice and the patient/consumer experience by developing topically-applied products which offer the health, beauty and safety benefits of advanced bioactive small molecule technology. Our vision is to be recognized as the world leader in the identification, qualification and commercialization of natural and synthetic peptide technology.
     We are developing short, small-chain peptides with anti-infective, anti-inflammatory, cell proliferation, and migration properties. These peptides are targeted for use as ingredients in cosmetics and new topical therapeutics. Possible applications include anti-aging skin care, acne treatment, wound healing, and treatment of athlete’s foot and other fungal infections of the skin and scalp as well as the management of various other dermatoses.
     To establish a foundation for our initial commercialization efforts, we successfully identified and characterized a number of peptides that are based upon innate-immunity peptide sequences that have potential cosmetic and therapeutic benefits. However, peptides of the innate immune system are molecularly inappropriate for direct application in personal care or pharmaceutical products. By re-engineering these peptides using bioactive, synthetic small amino sequences, we believe that we have created commercially attractive alternatives that provide even greater activity than those peptides found in nature.
     Our business was incorporated on February 2, 1988, and until 2000, we operated primarily as a technology development company, generating a portfolio of intellectual property focused on identifying and developing

synthetic bioactive peptides. In 2000, we entered the commercialization stage of our business development plan with an increased emphasis on applying and commercializing the extensive library of patented bioactive peptides that we have developed.
     Our website is located at www.helixbiomedix.com. Information contained on our website is not part of, and is not incorporated into, this Quarterly Report. Our filings with the SEC are available without charge on our website.
Consumer Programs
     In 2004, we initiated license agreements with personal care contract manufacturers and materials suppliers for inclusion of certain of our proprietary cosmetics peptides in anti-acne and anti-aging skin care products. We rely on these industry supplier licensees to develop new product opportunities that incorporate our peptides and to create both awareness and demand for our technology among their personal care customer companies.
     We believe our peptide technology further holds potential as a technology platform for personal care industry leaders. We collaborate directly with leading personal care companies to identify opportunities for strengthening their brand position with proprietary products featuring our peptide technology.
     In 2006, we initiated our first efforts to directly participate in the development of validated products that apply our peptide technology. The first such product was developed through a license agreement with DermaVentures, LLC (“DermaVentures”), a related party, and is planned for market introduction in the second half of 2007.
     Internally, our strategy moving forward is to develop products with the intent of positioning ourselves closer to the consumer end of the product development life cycle. We believe that this closer alignment to the end product has the potential to provide higher royalty revenues as compared to licensing peptides for use as ingredients within a product. For example, we are currently developing a skin care system that is planned for future introduction into the marketplace through partnerships with certain personal care marketing companies.
Anti-Acne Programs
     We believe one of our lead peptides for use in cosmetics promises significant advantages for skin care competitors in the over-the-counter acne treatment market. This proprietary peptide may be formulated into products with certain over-the-counter anti-acne ingredients for improvement in blemish-clearing benefits. The skin care benefits of this peptide derive from its ability to bind to a pro-inflammatory substance on the cell wall of the acne-causing bacteria. This pro-inflammatory substance is known to cause much of the redness associated with acne breakouts but, when bound to our peptide, is rendered inactive. Laboratory and clinical testing indicate additional treatment benefits and a higher level of consumer satisfaction associated with formulations that contain our peptide.
     There are currently a number of product development initiatives incorporating this peptide into anti-acne formulations. We believe the use of this peptide is advantageous for globally marketed anti-acne products, not only because it supports more favorable outcomes with salicylic acid–based treatment products, but because it may obviate the need for benzyol peroxide, an ingredient that is limited in application due to regulatory restrictions in certain markets. This peptide is scheduled for introduction in the second half of 2007 in an acne treatment system that is positioned for the North American Hispanic market. This new system is proposed to be beneficial for richer skin tones that are more prone to discoloration associated with irritating chemicals such as benzyol peroxide. The peptide is also featured in an expanding line of anti-acne products marketed through natural food and health channels of distribution.
Anti-Aging Programs
     We have identified and qualified a number of peptides that target changes in the appearance of skin associated with the aging process. Because there are anti-aging skin benefits that derive from the skin’s natural healing process, much of the anti-aging aspect of our peptide library has been derived from the screening processes associated with our pharmaceutical wound healing programs.
     Peptides that target improvement in the appearance of aging skin may affect one or more of the age-related skin characteristics: lines and wrinkles, loss of elasticity, loss of firmness and definition, appearance of darkened areas or general unevenness of skin tone, rough texture, and thinning of the skin.
     One of our lead anti-aging peptides targets several aspects of support for the skin’s structural matrix. This peptide has been demonstrated to accelerate the migration of cells from the skin’s uppermost layer to strengthen areas prone to lines and wrinkles and to impart a smoother, firmer appearance. This peptide has been clinically demonstrated to provide equivalent benefits to the leading prescription anti-aging products, but without the risk of irritation associated with aggressive retinoids. This peptide has been formulated into various cosmetic skin care products that are currently in the marketplace or pending introduction in late 2007.

Table of Contents

     We believe that, through the isolation of peptides derived from naturally recurring sequences that we call Replikines™, and specific combinations of those Replikines™ that we call Combikines™, we can increase the benefits derived from peptide applications in cosmetic anti-aging skin products. We have entered into an evaluation initiative with a leading supplier of ingredients for cosmetics to qualify these new peptide technologies. This evaluation is coming to an end and we are considering opportunities for the license of these peptides.
     Recently identified peptide opportunities for our anti-aging portfolio include a group of synthetic peptides that we have branded as Modukines™. These peptides work to interrupt processes that accelerate the undesirable changes in skin associated with aging, including the accelerated breakdown of collagen and elastin, the skin’s key structural components. We believe several of these Modukines™ hold commercial promise beyond the area of anti-aging skin care, as they support the skin’s resiliency.
Pharmaceutical Programs
     We are developing a novel, broad-spectrum, topical anti-infective for the treatment of skin and wound infections and the prevention of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections including those caused by MRSA (Methicillin Resistant S. aureus). These programs are based upon a first-in-class family of molecules known as lipohexapeptides (or small molecule peptides) that we developed to specifically combine the attributes of small molecule natural products with the advantages of antimicrobial peptides. This new class of anti-infective peptide has demonstrated significant improvement in activity, both in vitro and in vivo, over traditional antimicrobial peptides.
     As with traditional antimicrobial peptides, our lead lipohexapeptides are rapidly cidal, fail to engender resistance in vitro, are readily synthesized and do not exhibit cross-resistance with other antibiotics. However, these molecules also have the advantage of being more stable, more active, safer, and more cost-effective to manufacture than traditional antimicrobial peptides. In addition, primarily due to acylation (addition of a lipid), these molecules are significantly more active in complex biological environments such as serum or wound fluid. As a result, lipohexapeptides exhibit potent activity in animal infection models.
     In pre-clinical testing our lead molecules exhibited broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against significant bacterial pathogens such as S. aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and also pathogenic fungi such as Candida and Trichophyton species. This activity was maintained against antibiotic-resistant organisms such as MRSA and Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci. Our lead molecules have demonstrated significant activity in both bacterial and fungal animal infection models. In a S. aureus abraded skin infection model, our lead lipohexapeptides significantly reduced the number of bacteria following three days of once-daily dosing, and in many cases, our peptide eradicated the pathogen. In a guinea pig dermatophytosis model, our lead peptide candidates significantly reduced pathogen count and delivered clinical benefits comparable to Terbinafine, a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for onchomycosis. In both animal models, toxicity was not significantly different from that without peptides.
Acne Anti-Infective
     Our lipohexapeptide program is specifically directed at developing small, stable, and highly potent antimicrobials capable of delivering therapeutic benefit within the clinical environment. These molecules overcome the specific challenges typically associated with acne such as the ability to work in an oil and serum environment and the ability to kill organisms deep within a pore. The efficacy observed in the dermatophytosis model described above demonstrates the penetration and antimicrobial effects of these molecules in the hair follicle of the host.
     It is our intention to advance our anti-infective programs through a combination of partnering and in-house development. We have initiated this strategy by engaging a consulting firm with the aim of contacting potential partners during 2007.
     Due to the early stage of development of each of our pharmaceutical programs described above, we are unable to estimate the total costs and timing to complete product development. Additionally, we currently anticipate out-licensing certain of our pharmaceutical product candidates, and their final development will therefore depend on the efforts of third parties. The timing of entering into ongoing licensing agreements resulting in significant revenue to the company is uncertain. Thus, we presently lack the experience necessary to determine the timing of when, if ever, material net cash inflows from out-licensing projects can be expected.

Related-Party Transactions
     Effective as of April 18, 2007, we entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with DermaVentures, an Illinois limited liability company in which we own a 25% membership interest pursuant to the DermaVentures Operating Agreement, which was approved by our Board of Directors on April 13, 2007. Pursuant to the License Agreement, we granted to DermaVentures a non-exclusive license under certain patents and related technology to formulate certain proprietary peptides into cosmetics and over-the-counter personal care products and to market and sell those products in North and Central America. The initial term of the License Agreement is five years. In consideration for the license, DermaVentures agreed to pay us royalties on its sales of products containing our proprietary peptides as set forth in the License Agreement.
     In addition, effective as of April 18, 2007, we entered into a Management Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with DermaVentures and RMS Group, LLC, a member and the sole manager of DermaVentures (“RMS”). Pursuant to the Services Agreement, we agreed to provide certain management services to DermaVentures in exchange for a management fee of $400,000 payable as a cash flow distribution to us in connection with our ownership interest in DermaVentures after $1,200,000 in cash flow is distributed to RMS. We may terminate the Services Agreement upon 30 days prior written notice to the other parties, at which time our membership interest in DermaVentures shall be reduced to 10%; provided, however, that during the first year after the effective date, we may only terminate the Services Agreement for cause. Either DermaVentures or RMS may terminate the Services Agreement at any time with or without cause upon 30 days prior written notice to us, at which time our membership interest in DermaVentures shall be reduced to 10% unless we agree to bear the costs for any necessary replacement management services thereafter.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     The preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, our management evaluates its estimates and judgments including those related to revenue recognition, research and development costs, capitalized patent costs, and valuation of stock options and warrants. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
  •   Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue from the sale of peptides when title transfers to the customer, typically upon shipment. We recognize revenue from licensing fees when delivery has occurred and no future obligations exist. Royalties from licensees, if any, are based on third-party sales and recorded as earned in accordance with contract terms when third-party results are reliably measured and collection is reasonably assured. Payments received for which the earnings process is not complete are classified as deferred revenue.
 
  •   Research and Development Costs. These costs, including personnel costs, supplies and other indirect research and development costs, are expensed as incurred. In instances where we enter into agreements with third parties for research and development activities, which may include personnel costs, supplies and other costs associated with such collaborative agreements, we expense these items as incurred.
 
  •   Capitalization of Patent Costs. We capitalize the third-party costs associated with filing patents or entering into licenses associated with our underlying technology. Our policy for the capitalization of patent costs is to begin amortization of these costs at the time they are incurred. We review our patent portfolio to determine whether any such costs have been impaired and are no longer being used in our research and development activities. To the extent we no longer use certain patents, the associated costs will be written-off at that time.
 
  •   Valuation of Stock Options and Warrants. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and our experience. Options granted are valued using the single option valuation approach, and the resulting expense is recognized using the cliff, straight-line attribution method, consistent with the single option valuation approach. Compensation expense is recognized only for those options expected to vest. Stock options and warrants issued to non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method prescribed by Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 96-18 and EITF Issue No. 00-18.

Results of Operations
     As of June 30, 2007, our accumulated deficit was approximately $25.8 million. We may continue to incur substantial operational losses over the next several years. Such losses have been and may continue to be principally the result of various costs associated with our research and development programs. Revenue to date has not been material and has resulted from licensing arrangements and limited sales of peptides at, or near, cost. Our ability to achieve a consistent, profitable level of operations depends in large part on our ability to enter into royalty-bearing licenses. Even if we are successful in the aforementioned activities, our operations may not be profitable. In addition, any payments under licensing arrangements are subject to significant fluctuations in both timing and amount. Therefore, our operating results for any period may fluctuate significantly and may not be comparable to the operating results for any other period.
     Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007, was approximately $140,700, an increase of $110,600 from the same period in 2006. For the first six months of 2007, revenue increased by approximately $151,000 to $199,100 from the same period in 2006. Of the total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, $64,400 was from sales of peptides to DermaVentures, a related party. The increase in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007, primarily consisted of increased peptide sales at cost, partially offset by a reduction in licensing revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, revenue increases were attributable to an increase in both peptides sales as well as licensing revenue.
     Cost of peptide sales was approximately $10,400 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $151,400 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and $156,400 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Cost of peptide sales to DermaVentures, a related party, was zero for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in cost of peptide sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, was a result of $151,400 of inventory previously written down to its estimated net realizable value in the second quarter of 2006. As we replenish inventory, we anticipate that future sales of peptides will result in a higher cost of sales than the level we have experienced during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
     Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were approximately $202,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to approximately $267,900 for the same period in 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, R&D expenses were approximately $408,000 compared to $494,100 for the same period in 2006. The decrease of $65,400, or 24.4%, and $86,100, or 17.4%, in R&D expenses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, was primarily due to a reduction in employee-related costs, lower spending in lab supplies and external studies, and decreased stock-based compensation, partially offset by an increase in expenses related to R&D consulting fees. We expect R&D expenses during the remainder of 2007 to remain generally in line with levels experienced during the first six months of 2007.
     Depreciation and amortization expenses were approximately $43,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $1,900 from the same period in 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by $2,400 to $88,000 compared to the first six months of 2006. The slight decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same periods in 2006 was primarily because incremental depreciation expenses from assets purchased in 2007 were offset by other assets becoming fully depreciated. We expect depreciation and amortization expenses for the remainder of 2007 to remain relatively consistent with those in the first half of the year.
     Accounting, legal and professional expenses were approximately $133,700 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $63,000, or 89.0%, compared to $70,700 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Accounting, legal and professional expenses were approximately $282,200 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $145,800, or 106.9%, compared to $136,400 for the same period in 2006. The increase in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, was primarily attributable to increased audit fees and legal costs associated with the outlicensing of our technology.
     Consulting fees were relatively flat for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. Consulting fees were approximately $3,600 and $4,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to approximately $1,900 and $4,900 for the respective periods in 2006.
     General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were approximately $603,600 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to approximately $698,500 for the same period in 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, G&A expenses were approximately $1.1 million compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2006. The decrease of approximately $94,900, or 13.6%, and $110,300, or 9.1%, in G&A expenses for the three months and

six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, was primarily due to decreased stock-based compensation, partially offset by an increase in compliance costs associated with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We anticipate G&A expenses during the remainder of 2007 to increase as a result of compliance costs associated with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
     Other income, comprised primarily of interest income, increased by $4,300, or 20.3%, to $25,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $21,200 for the same period in 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, other income increased by $12,200, or 34.3%, to $47,900 compared to $35,700 for the same period in 2006. The increase in other income was primarily attributable to higher interest rates and a higher balance of marketable securities in 2007 compared to 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through the private sales of debt and equity securities. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. At June 30, 2007, our balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled approximately $2.7 million, up by $486,700 from December 31, 2006. The increase from December 31, 2006 was attributable to the proceeds that we received from a private equity financing that closed in the first quarter of 2007, partially offset by cash used in operations during the first six months of 2007. We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund our operations at planned levels at least through the next twelve months.
     Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007, was approximately $1.7 million, derived principally from our net loss for the period, adjusted by non-cash expenses and changes in working capital components. Working capital uses of cash were primarily from increases in trade receivables and inventory, and decreases in accrued payroll and deferred revenue, partially offset by a decrease in prepaid expense and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006, was approximately $1.5 million, due primarily to the net loss for the period and decreases in accrued payroll and accrued expenses, partially offset by adjustments of non-cash expenses, and decreases in inventory and prepaid assets.
     Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007, was approximately $776,700, due primarily to purchases of marketable securities and capital equipment. Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was approximately $38,000, due primarily to purchases of capital equipment.
     Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007, was approximately $2.1 million. On March 5, 2007, we closed a private equity financing, receiving cash of $2.0 million in exchange for 2,666,666 shares of $0.001 par value common stock. In a second closing held on March 26, 2007, we received cash of $148,750 in exchange for 198,332 shares of $0.001 par value common stock.
     Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was approximately $2.6 million. On March 3, 2006, we closed a private equity financing, receiving cash of approximately $2.4 million in exchange for 2,383,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock and warrants to purchase up to 238,300 additional shares of $0.001 par value common stock. The warrants have a 5-year term and a per exercise purchase price of $1.00. In a second closing held on March 10, 2006, we received $215,000 in exchange for 215,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock and warrants to purchase up to 21,500 shares of $0.001 par value common stock. The warrants have a 5-year term and a per share exercise price of $1.00.
     We will need to raise additional capital in order to sustain and grow our business operations. Our net cash used in operations has exceeded our cash generated from operations for every year since our inception. Based on our current operating plan, we estimate that existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements at least through the next twelve months based on current expense levels. We will need substantial additional funding to further develop our existing programs and initiate our pharmaceutical programs. Accordingly, we intend to seek additional funding through available means, which may include debt and/or equity financing.
     Our future capital requirements depend on many factors including:
  •   the ability to attract collaborative agreement partners;
 
  •   the ability to generate revenue under licensing agreements; and

  •   the costs of filing, prosecuting, enforcing, and defending patents, patent applications, patent claims, and trademarks.
     The availability of additional capital to us is highly uncertain. We are actively pursuing out-licensing opportunities but do not expect those efforts to produce significant capital during the next twelve months. Any equity financing would likely result in dilution to our existing stockholders and debt financing, if available, would likely include restrictive covenants.
Purchase Commitments
     On August 2, 2007, we entered into an agreement with a vendor for the purchase of a certain peptide over a period of eighteen months from the agreement date. The aggregate consideration for orders under this agreement over the eighteen-month period is $234,000.

Certain Factors That May Affect Our Business and Future Results
     Please see our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 for a description of some of the risks and uncertainties that we face. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those described in that Annual Report. If any of those risks were to occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed.
ITEM 3. Controls and Procedures.
     As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.
     There has been no change during the quarter in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
