PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

You should read this summary in conjunction with the more detailed information and financial statements including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this prospectus, including the “Risks Factors” section. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all of the information you should consider before making an investment decision.

Symbollon Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

We are a Delaware corporation originally incorporated in Illinois in 1986. We engage in the development and commercialization of propriety iodine-based formulations. We are in clinical development of a treatment, referred to as “IoGen™, for the treatment of cyclic pain and tenderness associated with fibrocystic breast. We are currently conducting a Phase III clinical trial evaluating IoGen for the treatment of moderate to severe cyclic pain and tenderness associated with fibrocystic breast. We believe our technology has other potential product opportunities, and we plan to pursue some of these opportunities as our resources allow.

In its February 16, 2006 report on our financial statements, our registered independent public accounting firm expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our recurring losses and accumulated deficit. Our continued existence depends on our ability to obtain additional funding, which cannot be assured.

Our principal executive offices are located at 37 Loring Drive, Framingham, Massachusetts 01702. Our telephone number is (508) 620-7676. Our website is http://www.symbollon.com. Information on our website is not part of or incorporated into this prospectus.

Recent Developments

Termination of Bioaccelerate Relationship

On August 23, 2006, Symbollon and Bioaccelerate (now known as Gardent Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) mutually terminated their exclusive worldwide licensing and co-marketing agreement covering the use of IoGen for the treatment of pain and tenderness associated with fibrocystic breast disease. Under the terms of the agreement, entered into on April 12, 2005, Bioaccelerate was to fund ongoing Phase III development of IoGen. Bioaccelerate had the primary responsibility for the commercialization of IoGen, and we were to oversee the future clinical development efforts necessary to seek marketing approval for IoGen. The parties were to share in any net profits upon commercialization. Upon termination of the agreement all rights to IoGen licensed to Bioaccelerate in the agreement reverted back to us.

2006 Warrant Exercise

From December 2005 through March 2006, redeemable warrants covering 511,961 shares of Class A common stock were exercised by accredited investors, netting us $332,775 in cash, and 103,500 shares of Class A common stock were exercised for consulting services to be rendered to us over a 12-month period. In connection with the exercise of the redeemable warrants, we issued 615,461 new warrants. Each new warrant entitles the holder to purchase from September 1, 2006 up to February 28, 2009 one share of Class A common stock at a price of sixty-five cents ($0.65) per share.

 

3


2006 Private Placement
 
On June 2, 2006 and August 21, 2006, we completed private placements to accredited investors of an aggregate of 1,366,500 shares of Class A common stock and a like number of redeemble warrants for gross proceeds of $1,366,500 (aggregate net proceeds were $1,342,340).  Each redeemable warrant entitles the holder to purchase at any time up to August 21, 2001 one share of Class A common stock at a price of one dollar ($1.00) per share.
 
The Offering

This offering relates to the sale of up to 4,187,313 shares of our common stock by our stockholders listed in this prospectus. The shares offered by this prospectus include 2,796,653 presently outstanding shares of our common stock and a maximum of 1,390,660 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The shares of common stock may be sold from time to time by the selling stockholders in the principal market on which the stock is traded at prices relating to the prevailing market price or in privately negotiated transactions.

Pursuant to registration rights granted by us to the selling stockholders, we are obligated to register shares purchased by them in our private placements and shares issuable upon exercise of warrants acquired by the selling stockholders in these private placements. The distribution of the shares by the selling stockholders is not subject to any underwriting agreement. All costs associated with this registration will be borne by us.

Use of Proceeds

We will not receive any proceeds from this offering, but we will receive the exercise price of the warrants if they are exercised.

Our Capital Structure and Shares Eligible for Future Sale

The following table outlines our capital stock as of August 22, 2006:

Common Stock outstanding
 
Before the offering...............................................................................................................................................................
9,241,237 shares(1)
After the offering…………….............................................................................................................................................
10,631,897 shares(1)(2)

(1) Assuming no exercise of outstanding (a) options to purchase up to 1,810,000 shares of common stock pursuant to previous grants made to our officers, directors and consultants and (b) warrants to purchase up to 2,031,506 shares of common stock held by the selling stockholders.
(2) Assumes that the selling stockholders exercise their warrants to purchase 1,390,660 shares of common stock.

Registering such a large percentage (approximately 39.4%) of our currently outstanding common stock (assuming exercise of the 1,390,660 warrants held by the selling stockholders) may have an adverse effect on the market price for our common stock.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, other information included in this prospectus and information in our periodic reports filed with the SEC. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and you may lose some or all of your investment.

RISKS ABOUT OUR BUSINESS
 
Our ability to continue as a “going concern” is uncertain
 
Our financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Report of our Independent Registered Public Accountants included herein contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The notes to our financial statements addressed management’s plans to address our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that our business plans will be successful in addressing these issues. If we cannot successfully continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose their entire investment in our common stock. Our ability to obtain additional funding will determine our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
 
We expect to incur additional losses in the future that will require us to raise funding
 
We have incurred a cumulative operating loss of $14,006,292 through June 30, 2006. Our losses have resulted principally from costs incurred in research and development activities related to our efforts to develop IodoZyme, IoGen and other potential product formulations, and from the associated administrative and patent costs. We expect to incur additional operating losses over the next several years and expect cumulative losses to increase. In the next few years, we do not anticipate generating material revenues.

5

 
Based on the current status of our development efforts, we will not receive revenues or royalties from commercial sales of our drugs under development for a significant number of years, if at all. For at least the next few years, we do not expect any revenues from products currently in development. We will therefore need to raise additional funding or enter into development relationships with corporate partners to sustain our operations. If we fail to achieve profitable operations, raise additional funding to cover losses, or enter into new corporate partner relationships, we will not be able to sustain operations.
 
Sales from our only product will cease as our marketing partner has decided to discontinue offering it for sale
 
Our only source of product revenue has been from a licensing relationship with West Agro, Inc. covering IodoZyme. They have decided to terminate their collaboration with us. West Agro has purchased our remaining finished goods inventory of approximately $40,000 in the second quarter of 2006 and will cease selling IodoZyme after such finished goods inventory has been sold.
 
We could go out of business and you may lose your investment if we are unable to commercialize a new product
 
Since our inception, we have engaged in limited business activities attempting to develop products based on our technology. To date, we have only commercialized one product, IodoZyme. IodoZyme sales have not been significant enough to support our operations and have been discontinued. The development of our other product opportunities will require further capital investments, development and regulatory approvals. We may be faced with problems, delays, expenses and difficulties, which are typically encountered by companies in an early stage of development, many of which may be beyond our control. These include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems and costs related to development, regulatory compliance, production, marketing, economic and political factors and competition. If we are not able to commercialize a new product, we could go out of business and you may lose your investment.
 
We have terminated our relationship with our corporate partner, Bioaccelerate, and if we are not able to enter into a new corporate licensing relationship covering IoGen, it will be difficult to commercialize IoGen
 
We estimate that the cost to complete the development of IoGen will be approximately $12 million. We entered into a corporate licensing relationship with Bioaccelerate to help fund the commercialization of IoGen. Because of Bioacclerate’s continuing financial difficulties, they have not been able to fund an escrow account which would provide the necessary resources to complete the ongoing Phase III clinical trial for IoGen. We sent a notice of default to Bioaccelerate regarding its failure to establish and fund the escrow as required by their agreement. Because Bioaccelerate failed to cure the existing defaults, the parties have terminated the agreement. Upon termination of the agreement, all rights to IoGen licensed to Bioaccelerate in the agreement revert back to Symbollon. Without Bioaccelerate’s financial assistance, we do not have enough resources to support further clinical development of IoGen. Based on the present price and trading volume of our stock, it will be difficult for us to raise the additional capital to fund the development of IoGen which was to have been provided by Bioaccelerate. Given the large amount of resources required to complete the clinical development of IoGen, we will need to enter into a new licensing relationship to commercialize IoGen.

6

 
We have limited data that IoGen will effectively treat fibrocystic breast disease

We did not conduct any animal or human studies to evaluate the potential effectiveness of IoGen before launching the Phase II trial. The Phase II clinical trial that we completed in 2000 generated the first data regarding the effectiveness of IoGen. The primary purpose of the Phase II trial was to evaluate the safety of IoGen. We believe that the Phase II data concerning the drug’s effectiveness indicate that IoGen can successfully treat cyclic pain and tenderness associated with fibrocystic breast, but we need to establish IoGen’s effectiveness in two well-controlled phase III clinical trials. We estimate that our investment in the IoGen development program has exceeded $5 million. We expensed these development costs as incurred. We do not have the necessary resources to fund further clinical trials for IoGen. If we are not able to secure the necessary resources by entering into a relationship with a corporate partner or by raising funds, our financial situation may force us to discontinue the IoGen development program.

If we cannot establish a new corporate relationship or we cannot raise additional funds, then we will have to limit or cease our future activities

We have adequate cash resources to continue our base operations through the end of 2006. However, we do not have sufficient resources to pay for the ongoing IoGen Phase III clinical trial or any other remaining development activities required to commercialize IoGen. We will require substantial additional funds to pay for the ongoing clinical development of IoGen or if we decide to pursue the development of additional products. We currently estimate that approximately $12 million will be required over the next three years to complete the clinical development of IoGen.

We intend to seek additional funds for such future product development through public or private financing or collaborative or other arrangements with corporate partners. We believe that before we can enter into any significant new relationships, we will have to generate clinical results on our potential drugs. Our limited financial resources may require us to finance the cost of generating these results. We have had difficulty raising funds. During 2004, we attempted to raise approximately $2 million. We were only able to raise approximately $820,000. During 2005, we sold 1,642,795 shares of Class A Common Stock for gross proceeds of $853,957 (aggregate net proceeds were $800,585) in an offering exclusively to foreign investors pursuant to Regulation S. During 2006, Symbollon has sold 1,366,500 shares of Class A Common Stock and a like number of warrants for gross proceeds of $1,366,500 (aggregate net proceeds were $1,342,340) in private placements to accredited investors.

Our common stock was delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap market in December 2002. Our common stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, is thinly traded, and is subject to the “penny stock rules.” There is very little market support for our common stock. So long as these conditions exist, future financings will continue to be difficult. This could impact the terms and conditions upon which we are able to sell securities and raise funds. In light of the lack of support for our common stock price, any funds raised through equity financing would likely be at below market and dilutive to our existing stockholders. If adequate funds are not available when needed, we would be forced to limit the scope of our development or perhaps cease operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise the necessary financing on acceptable terms, or at all, or succeed in entering into a successful corporate partnering relationship. As indicated above, our registered independent accountant’s report on our financial statements includes a “going concern” qualification.

We lack the resources to conduct the necessary clinical trials required prior to commercial sales of our potential drugs

Any drug candidates we develop will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical (animal and in vitro data) and clinical testing and regulatory approval, prior to commercial sale. Our only active drug development effort is IoGen. Our ability to conduct the necessary clinical trials for IoGen for the indication of breast pain depends on our generating the resources required to pay for this from future revenues, financings or licensing or collaboration relationships. We may not be able to generate the necessary financial resources or enter into the necessary relationships.

7

 
We may lose control over development and commercialization of drugs after we license them

A key element of our strategy has been to fund most of our product development programs through collaborative agreements with larger pharmaceutical companies. As part of these licensing relationships we may have to grant to the other party control over the development and commercialization process. For example, a potential corporate partner may be responsible for:

·  
conducting preclinical and clinical trials;
·  
obtaining required regulatory approvals of drug candidates;
·  
manufacturing any resulting products; and
·  
commercializing any resulting products.

The potential corporate partner may not be obligated to develop or commercialize any drug candidates under the collaboration. The potential corporate partner alone could control the amount and timing of resources dedicated by it to the program. Accordingly, the potential corporate partner would control the development program. Moreover, the potential corporate partner may view certain drug candidates developed utilizing Symbollon’s technology as competitive with its own drugs or drug candidates. Accordingly, the potential corporate partner may develop its existing or alternative technologies in preference to the drug candidates based on our technology. In addition, the potential corporate partner may have the right to terminate the relationship at any time. Without the involvement of a corporate partner, our limited resources would severely hamper our ability to develop a product.

If a competitive drug is marketed to treat fibrocystic breast disease prior to IoGen, then the potential market opportunity for IoGen will be adversely affected

The only drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of fibrocystic breast disease is danazol, a masculinizing hormone. We are aware of a few companies developing drugs for the treatment of fibrocystic breast disease. If any of these competitors receive marketing approval for their drug compounds before we do, they may achieve a significant competitive advantage by being first to market and through certain marketing exclusivity rights, which could extend up to seven years. This would delay our ability to receive marketing approval.

If the FDA does not allow us to use the Mimetix patient data, then the cost of the IoGen clinical development will increase significantly

The FDA has informed us that prior to filing for marketing approval for IoGen, we must successfully complete two Phase III efficacy trials, one two-year toxicity study in rodents and dose approximately 1,500 patients. We currently estimate that approximately $12 million will be required over the next three years to complete the clinical development of IoGen. This estimate assumes that we will be able to submit to FDA certain patient data we obtained from Mimetix, Inc. in 2004. If FDA does not accept the Mimetix patient data, then the cost of the IoGen clinical development will significantly increase to approximately $20 million. This would also delay our ability to receive marketing approval.

8

 
We may be sued for product liability in the future and our liability insurance may not be adequate to cover the situation

We may be held liable if any product we develop in the future, or any product which is made with the use of any of our technologies, causes injury or is found otherwise defective during product testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Although we have product liability insurance, we may not have insurance coverage sufficient in amount and scope against potential liabilities or the claims may be excluded from coverage under the terms of the policy. Our liability could exceed our total assets. Further, product liability insurance is becoming increasingly expensive. As a result, we may not be able to obtain sufficient amounts of insurance coverage, obtain additional insurance when needed, or obtain insurance at a reasonable cost, which could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of our products or technology. Any claims against us, regardless of their merit or eventual outcome, could have a serious and adverse effect upon our business.

We have no marketing experience within our company

Although we have no present plans to do so, we may, in the future, determine to directly market certain of our proposed products. We have no marketing experience and significant additional capital expenditures and management resources would be required to develop a direct sales force. In the event we elect to engage in direct marketing activities, we might have difficulty obtaining the requisite funds or attracting and retaining the human resources necessary to successfully market any products.

We depend on two of our employees for our future success; the loss of either of them could adversely effect our ability to succeed

Our success depends to a significant extent on the performance and continued service of two of our employees, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Paul C. Desjourdy and our Chief Scientific Officer, Jack H. Kessler, Ph.D. The loss of the services of either of our senior officers would disrupt our operations and would adversely effect our efforts to commercialize new products while we worked to replace those employees. We do not maintain "key man" life insurance on any of our employees. As a result, if any of our key employees were to die or become unable to provide services for us, our operations would be disrupted and we would have no means of recovering any resulting losses.

Because our iodine-based products may stain or corrode some surfaces, potential applications for our products may not be possible

An important aspect of our present and future product candidates is that they must be compatible with the surfaces with which they come into contact. We have ceased efforts to develop products that clean germs from certain medical and dental instruments as a result of staining and corrosion caused by the required concentrations of iodine in the formulations. We continue to investigate the balance between the level of efficacy and the need to avoid staining and corrosion. For any proposed product application, staining or corrosion from a product candidate could be sufficient to limit or forestall regulatory approval or, if approved, could adversely affect market acceptance of such product. We might not be successful in overcoming these staining and corrosion problems.

Our use of hazardous materials in our development and commercial efforts exposes us to material potential liability

Our manufacturing and development activities involve the controlled use and shipment of hazardous chemicals and other materials. Although we believe that our safety procedures for handling, shipping and disposing of such materials comply with the standards prescribed by federal, state and local regulations, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials. In the event of such an accident, we could be held liable for any damages that result and any such liability could exceed our resources. There can be no assurance that current or future environmental or transportation laws, rules, regulations or policies will not have a material adverse effect on us.

We may never receive a benefit from our net operating losses

We have not recognized any benefit from the future use of existing NOL carryforwards. We have not recognized any such benefit because our evaluation of all the available evidence does not indicate that it is more likely than not that we will generate sufficient future taxable income to realize such benefit. We had federal income tax NOL carryforwards of approximately $12.3 million at December 31, 2005. Our NOL carryforwards will begin to terminate in 2008 to the extent they have not been used to reduce taxable income prior to such time. Our ability to use our NOL carryforwards to reduce taxable income is dependent upon, among other things, our not experiencing an "ownership change" of more than 50 percent during any three-year testing period as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. While we have not made the necessary determination, we likely have experienced an ownership change in the past, and, if not, could very likely experience an ownership change from future sales of our securities. If we have, or if we do, experience an ownership change of more than 50 percent as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, it could substantially limit the availability of our NOL carryforwards.

 
RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING AND OUR STOCK

"Penny Stock" rules may make buying or selling our securities difficult

Trading in our securities is subject to the SEC's "penny stock" rules and it is anticipated that trading in our securities will continue to be subject to the penny stock rules for the foreseeable future. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules require that any broker-dealer who recommends our securities to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to execute the transaction. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from recommending transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the liquidity of our securities and consequently adversely affect the market price for our securities.

Our securities have been thinly traded on the over-the-counter bulletin board, which may not provide liquidity for our investors

Our securities are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. The Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board is an inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than the NASDAQ Stock Market or national or regional exchanges. Securities traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board are usually thinly traded, highly volatile, have fewer market makers and are not followed by analysts. The Securities and Exchange Commission's order handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. We are dependent on professional market markers to facilitate trading of our securities on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board . If market makers do not register to trade our securities there, stockholders may not have a public market for the purchase and sale of our securities. Quotes for stocks included on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board are not listed in newspapers. Therefore, prices for securities traded solely on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board may be difficult to obtain and holders of our securities may be unable to resell their securities at or near their original acquisition price, or at any price.
 
10


Investors must contact a broker-dealer to trade over-the-counter bulletin board securities. As a result, you may not be able to buy or sell our securities at the times that you may wish

Even though our securities are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board may not permit our investors to sell securities when and in the manner that they wish. Because there are no automated systems for negotiating trades on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, they are conducted via telephone. In times of heavy market volume, the limitations of this process may result in a significant increase in the time it takes to execute investor orders. Therefore, when investors place market orders (an order to buy or sell a specific number of shares at the current market price) it is possible for the price of a stock to go up or down significantly during the lapse of time between placing a market order and its execution.

We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, therefore, you may never see a return on your investment

We do not anticipate the payment of cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that any profits from our operations will be devoted to our future operations. Any decision to pay dividends will depend upon our profitability at the time, cash available and other factors. Therefore, our stockholders may never see a return on their investment.

We may sell additional shares in the future, which could cause the price of our securities to decline

We currently have 93,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, 1,250,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized. According, we have substantial amounts of authorized but unissued capital stock. Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and applicable provisions of Delaware law provide that we may issue authorized capital stock at the approval of our Board of Directors, and no stockholder vote or other form of stockholder approval is required for us to issue such capital stock. Consequently, we could issue shares of either class of our common stock or our preferred stock in connection with future financings or acquisitions or in conjunction with equity compensation arrangements. The offering prices in connection with those future issuances could be less than the current sales prices of our securities. Any future issuances of any of our securities could cause the trading price of our securities to decline.

We may sell additional shares in the future, which may cause existing stockholders significant dilution

The sale of shares to fund future operations and continued clinical development of our proposed products, which sales will likely have to be at or below market, will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. As a result, our net income per share, if any, could decrease in future periods, and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price at the time we sell additional shares, the more shares we will have to issue. If our stock price decreases, then our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution when we sell shares.

Resales of our shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price for our stock

We are registering for resale by selling stockholders up to 4,187,313 shares of our common stock representing approximately 39.4% of our total outstanding common stock assuming full exercise of the 1,390,660 warrants issued in June and August 2006 and held by selling stockholders. Also, a substantial number of shares issued in our 2005 Regulation S offering are eligible for resale under Rule 144 (under which, in the case of Symbollon, generally a person who has beneficially owned for at least one year shares acquired in a transaction exempt from registration, or a person who may be deemed to be an affiliate of Symbollon, is entitled to sell within any 3-month period a number of shares that does not exceed 1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock; and after two years non-affiliates can freely re-sell). If we are able to sell additional shares to meet our pressing need for financing, these purchasers would likely also receive registration rights. Resales of substantial numbers of shares (including shares purchased at less than current market prices) pursuant to this or future resale registration statements or even under Rule 144 are likely to cause our common stock price to decline. Such sales might also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities at a time and price that we deem appropriate and thus inhibit our ability to raise additional needed capital.
 
11

 
The anticipation of significant sales of our stock in this offering could result in short selling by third parties, which could cause our stock price to decline

The anticipation of significant sales by the selling shareholders could result in short sales by third parties. If there is not a corresponding demand for our stock, then our stock price would decline.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with "Selected Financial Data" and our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements because of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those presented below or described above in “Risk Factors.”

Overview

We are a specialty pharmaceutical company. We have a formulation iodine-based proprietary technology that has potential product applications in the areas of infection control and women’s healthcare. In 1995, we launched our first commercial product, IodoZyme. Through June 30, 2006, it has generated approximately $2.8 million in sales. IodoZyme is being discontinued by our marketing partner.

Since 2000, we have concentrated our product development efforts on the proposed product application for the treatment of fibrocystic breast disease. We believe we have adequate cash reserves to continue base operations through 2006. In order for us to continue the clinical development of IoGen, we must raise additional resources or enter into a corporate relationship provding resources for development. If we cannot enter into a corporate relationship covering IoGen or secure additional resources before existing resources are exhausted, we will have to curtail, or perhaps cease, operations.

Going Concern

Our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of our company as a going concern. We had a net loss of $645,973 and $1,194,541 and negative cash flows from operations of $898,465 and $632,934 for the year ended December 31, 2005 and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. At December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, we also had an accumulated deficit of $12,811,751 and $14,006,292, respectively, and working capital of $436,950 and $823,110, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

The application of the going concern concept is dependent upon our ability to receive continued financial support from our creditors, stockholders and external investors and the financial ability of our IoGen corporate partner to help complete the development and commercialization of IoGen. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in other than the normal course of operations. Management plans to obtain equity and debt financing from external investors and to actively pursue a new partner to help complete the development and commercialization of IoGen if our present partner is not able to meet its financial obligations to pay for IoGen’s clinical development. In June 2006, Symbollon raised $1,000,000 in a private placement of 1,000,000 shares of its Class A common stock and a like number of warrants. In August 2006, Symbollon raised net proceeds of $342,340 in a private placement of 366,500 shares of its Class A common stock and a like number of warrants.
 
Management believes the plan described above will be sufficient to meet our liabilities and commitments as they become payable over the next twelve months following June 30, 2006. There can be no assurance that management's plan will be successful. Failure to obtain the support of additional external investors to finance our operations will cause us to curtail operations and impair our ability to continue as a going concern.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The following is a discussion of the more significant accounting policies and methods we use.
 
15

 
Estimates - The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., which require us to make estimates and assumptions. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates related to the useful lives of fixed and intangible assets. Management bases its 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 - The Company recognizes revenue from its product sales and corporate partnerships in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition.” Under these guidelines, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and payment is reasonably assured. As discussed further below, the Company has assessed collectibility under the Bioaccelerate arrangement as being uncertain and recognized revenue upon cash receipt.

Research and Development Expenses - Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred.

Long-lived assets - Long-lived assets, such as intangible assets and property and equipment are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets. When any such impairment exists, the related assets are written down to fair value.

Results of Operations

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

Symbollon's net loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 was $645,770, reflecting an increase of $461,615 from a net loss of $184,155 in the comparable 2005 period. Symbollon's net loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 was $1,194,541, reflecting an increase of $826,839 from a net loss of $367,702 in the comparable 2005 period. The increased loss for such periods resulted primarily from increased clinical development expenses related to IoGen, salaries and related costs and facility expenses previously allocated to manufacturing, and consulting and other service expenses. We expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future.

Product revenues from sales of IodoZyme (our bovine teat santizer product) for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 were $39,833, compared to $3,223 and $14,736 in the comparable 2005 periods. In March 2005, West Agro, Inc., our exclusive marketing partner for IodoZyme, informed Symbollon that it plans to discontinue selling the product after the disposition of the remaining finished goods inventory. During the three months ended June 30, 2006 West Agro purchased the remaining finished goods inventory.

 
Research and development expenses for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 were $355,603 and $631,904, respectively, reflecting an increase of $173,202 and $353,788, from the research and development expenses in the comparable 2005 period. The increase for the three and six-month periods resulted primarily from increased clinical trial expenses associated with the initiation of our Phase III study for IoGen and increased salary and related costs and facility expenses previously allocated to manufacturing. As we continue the clinical development of IoGen and other compounds, we anticipate that our research and development expenses will increase. Under our collaboration with our corporate partner, the partner is financially responsible to reimburse us for the IoGen clinical trial expenses, however, based on their financial situation it seems unlikely that they will be able to meet their obligation.
 
16

 
General and administrative expenses for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 were $293,830 and $567,269, respectively, reflecting an increase of $47,475 and $187,300, from the general and administrative expenses in the comparable 2005 periods. The increase in the general and administrative expenses for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 was primarily due to increased salary and related costs, facility expenses previously allocated to manufacturing and consulting and other service expenses. We anticipate that general and administrative expenses will remain at current levels for the remainder of 2006.

Our interest income for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 were $3,663 and $4,632, respectively, reflecting an increase of $2,729 and $2,698, respectively, from the interest income in the comparable 2005 periods. The increase for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 resulted from an increase in available funds for investment and an increase in interest rates available on invested funds.

Fiscal 2005 versus Fiscal 2004

Symbollon's net loss in fiscal 2005 was $645,973, reflecting a decrease of $2,001,135 or 75.6% from a net loss of $2,647,108 in fiscal 2004. This decreased loss resulted primarily from decreased clinical development expenses related to the expensing of certain intangible assets acquired from Mimetix Inc. and manufacturing costs associated with the production of clinical trial materials of IoGen, variable accounting for certain stock options, and increased research and development collaboration revenues from our IoGen corporate partner, partially offset by increased salaries and related employee expenses and facility expenses previously allocated to manufacturing.

Product revenues from sales of IodoZyme (our bovine teat sanitizer) decreased by $109,883 or 68.9% from $159,510 in fiscal 2004 to $49,627 in fiscal 2005. The decreased revenues resulted primarily from significantly decreased demand for IodoZyme. In March 2005, West Agro informed Symbollon that it plans to discontinue selling the product after the disposition of the remaining finished goods inventory. At December 31, 2005, finished goods inventory was approximately $40,000.
 
In April 2005, Symbollon and Bioaccelerate formed an exclusive worldwide licensing and co-marketing agreement for IoGen for the treatment of cyclic mastalgia associated with FBD. Under the terms of the agreement, Bioaccelerate is responsible for the development and commercialization expenses of IoGen. Pursuant to the agreement with Bioaccelerate, Bioaccelerate is required to fund an escrow account to cover the cost of the clinical development of IoGen. To date, Bioaccelerate has not funded the escrow account as required by the agreement. The Company has sent a notice of default to Bioaccelerate regarding its failure to establish and fund the escrow as required by the agreement. However, Bioaccelerate has paid Symbollon directly $400,000 for clinical cost incurred in 2005 under the agreement. Due to uncertainty concerning collectibility, the Company now recognizes revenue under this arrangement as cash is collected. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has incurred costs of $84,583 that are eligible for reimbursement, for which the Company has not recognized revenue.
 
Cost of goods sold for IodoZyme decreased by $93,651 or 65.9% from $142,110 in fiscal 2004 to $48,459 in fiscal 2005. The gross profit margin on product sales decreased from 10.9% in fiscal 2004 to 2.4% in fiscal 2005. The decreased profit margin resulted primarily from the writedown of finished goods to resale value.
 
17

 
Research and development expenses decreased by $753,808 or 51.3% from $1,470,046 in fiscal 2004 to $716,238 in fiscal 2005. The decrease resulted primarily from decreased clinical development expenses related to the expensing of $935,000 for clinical trial data acquired from Mimetix and manufacturing cost of approximately $161,000 associated with the production of clinical trial materials for the IoGen program, partially offset by increased cost associated with our ongoing Phase III clinical trial. As we continue the clinical development of IoGen and other compounds, we anticipate that our research and development expenses will increase.

General and administrative expenses increased by $28,325 or 4.7% from $605,409 in fiscal 2004 to $633,734 in fiscal 2005. The increase resulted primarily from increased salaries and related employee expenses. We anticipate that general and administrative expenses in 2006 will increase slightly based on anticipated increases in salaries and consulting services.

As a result of our repricing of stock options in November 2003, some of our outstanding stock options are subject to variable plan accounting which requires us to measure the intrinsic value of the repriced options through the earlier of the date of exercise, cancellation or expiration at each reporting date. Operating results for fiscal 2005 include a credit of $296,749 as a result of changes in the intrinsic value of these options, compared to an expense of $593,749 for fiscal 2004. We expect that compensation charges and credits may occur in the future based upon changes in the fair value of our stock options.

The Company’s interest income increased by $1,386 or 29.5% from $4,696 in fiscal 2004 to $6,082 in fiscal 2005. This increase resulted from an increase in interest rates throughout 2005.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have funded our activities primarily through proceeds from private and public placements of equity securities. During 1999, we sold 836,685 shares of common stock, together with warrants for a like number of shares, in a private placement, realizing net proceeds of approximately $1,356,000. During 2000, we received net proceeds of approximately $1,761,000 from the exercise of 586,910 warrants issued as part of the 1999 private placement. During 2004, we sold 1,261,692 shares of common stock, together with 630,846 warrants, in a private placement, for net proceeds of approximately $634,000 in cash and approximately $186,000 in prepaid services for manufacturing, consulting and clinical trial expenses. During 2005, Symbollon sold 1,642,795 shares of Class A Common Stock for gross proceeds of $853,957 (aggregate net proceeds were $800,585) in an offering exclusively to foreign investors pursuant to Regulation S. From December 2005 through March 2006, we issued 615,461 shares of Class A common stock and a like number of warrants for $332,775 in cash and prepaid consulting services upon exercise of privately placed warrants. In June 2006, we sold 1,000,000 shares of common stock, together with warrants for a like number of shares, in a private placement, realizing net proceeds of approximately $1,000,000. In August 2006, we sold 366,500 shares of common stock, together with warrants for a like number of shares, in a private placement, realizing net proceeds of approximately $342,340.
 
18

 
During 2006, we continued to incur operating losses and have incurred a cumulative loss through June 30, 2006 of $14,006,292. We also continue to have negative cash flow from operations of $632,934 six months ended June 30, 2006. As of June 30, 2006, we had working capital of $823,110. As of June 30, 2006, we believe that we have the necessary liquidity and capital resources to sustain planned operations through the end of 2006. On April 12, 2005, Symbollon entered into an exclusive worldwide licensing and co-marketing agreement covering the use of IoGen for the treatment of cyclic pain and tenderness in humans with Bioaccelerate. Under the terms of the agreement, Bioaccelerate was responsible for the development and commercialization expenses of IoGen. With the execution of the licensing agreement, we initiated a Phase III clinical trial for IoGen. Pursuant to the agreement with Bioaccelerate, Bioaccelerate was required to fund an escrow account to cover the cost of the clinical development of IoGen. We sent a notice of default to Bioaccelerate regarding its failure to establish and fund the escrow as required by the agreement. To date, Bioaccelerate has not funded the escrow account as required by the agreement. However, Bioaccelerate has paid Symbollon directly $400,000 for clinical cost incurred in 2005 under the agreement. On August 23, 2006, the parties mutually terminated the agreement. Our planned operations for 2006 include completing the ongoing Phase III IoGen clinical trial and securing additional resources to sustain our operations and to complete the clinical development of IoGen with other funding. We may not, however, be able to raise such alternative funding. Any funding we do raise may be dilutive to existing stockholders. We estimate that it will cost approximately $12 million to complete the clinical development of IoGen. Until we secure additional financial resources, we will not be able to pursue significant clinical development of new product applications based on our technology. If we cannot secure additional resources before existing resources are exhausted, which is estimated to occur before the end of 2006, we will have to curtail, or perhaps cease, operations.

The report of our independent registered public accountants on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 contains an explanatory paragraph, which indicates that we have incurred recurring losses and have an accumulated deficit that raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This report is not viewed favorably by analysts or investors and may make it more difficult for us to raise additional debt or equity financing needed to continue our operations.

During the remainder of 2006, we are committed to pay approximately $227,500 as compensation to our current executive officers and approximately $20,000 for lease payments on our facilities. We have no other material capital expenditures planned during fiscal 2006. At December 31, 2005, we had a net operating loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes of approximately $12,315,000 expiring at various dates through 2025 (from which, however, we may never receive a benefit).

BUSINESS

General Background

We are engaged in development and commercialization of proprietary iodine-based pharmaceutical agents and antimicrobials (collectively referred to as "applications"). Symbollon is a Delaware corporation incorporated in August 1993 and is the successor by merger to a Massachusetts corporation incorporated in May 1991, which was the successor by merger to an Illinois corporation, which was incorporated in July 1986. Following stockholder approval at the 2001 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we changed our name from Symbollon Corporation to our current name.

The Company's Technology

Iodine has been shown to be a rapid acting, broad-spectrum antimicrobial and an effective therapeutic for certain pharmaceutical applications. We have developed proprietary iodine technology that Symbollon believes maximizes the “therapeutic index” of iodine. The “therapeutic index” of a drug is the ratio of the largest safe dose to the smallest effective dose. Our technology accomplishes this by controlling the ratio of molecular iodine (I2), to the other inactive species of iodine typically present in solution. We believe that this will enable us to produce iodine-based applications having advantages over currently available products.

Symbollon believes that our iodine-based technology has potential use in a number of product application areas. These applications can be grouped into women’s healthcare and infection control.

When used for infection control applications, we believe that the major strengths of our patented technology are the minimization of staining and color associated with traditional iodine products, broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity, rapidity of cidal activity, safe residues, no known resistance and no environmental disposal concerns. The primary weaknesses of our technologies are the inconvenience and cost of a multi-part delivery system and the potential for staining and corrosivity.

Concerning women’s healthcare, Symbollon believes that a relationship exists between iodine deficiency and the increased incidence of certain female health problems. These include some types of premenopausal breast cancer, fibrocystic breast disease (“FBD”) and endometriosis. We believe that the underlying causation of these problems relates to the monthly ovarian cycle and the proper functioning of the gonadotropic hormones.

Bovine Teat Sanitizer Product

During 1994, we co-developed a bovine teat sanitizer, marketed as “IodoZyme®”, with West Agro, Inc. of Kansas City, MO (“West Agro”), a subsidiary of the Tetra Laval Group and a leading manufacturer and distributor of iodophor-based products for dairy use. In January 1995, Symbollon and West Agro signed a marketing and supply agreement covering IodoZyme, and we began shipping IodoZyme to West Agro in early 1995. Pursuant to this agreement, West Agro was granted the exclusive worldwide right to market, distribute, promote and sell IodoZyme. Under the agreement, we manufacture and supply West Agro with IodoZyme in finished product form.

Total product sales for 2005 and 2004 from IodoZyme were $49,627 and $159,510, respectively. Our invoice terms are net 30 days. We had no orders for future delivery of IodoZyme at December 31, 2004. Net product sales by market are as follows:

Year ended December 31,
2005
2004

United Kingdom
                  -
     39,500
 
 
 
 
$  49,627
              $ 159,510

 
In March 2005, West Agro informed Symbollon that it intends to place orders for approximately $90,000 of IodoZyme during 2005 and 2006 and that it plans to discontinue selling the product after the disposition of such finished goods inventory has been sold. West Agro purchased our remaining finished goods inventory of approximately $40,000 in the second quarter of 2006 and will cease selling IodoZyme after such finished goods inventory has been sold.

Product Development

Since 2000, we have concentrated our product development work on the proposed product application for a treatment for fibrocystic breast disease. Symbollon spent approximately $716,000 and $1,470,000 on research and development during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Given our limited financial resources, the uncertainty of the development effort and the necessity for regulatory approval, there can be no assurance of ultimate success with respect to any product development program or that resulting products, if any, will be commercially successful. Additionally, our limited resources will require substantial support for new business initiatives from corporate partners who would ultimately introduce the products into the marketplace.

Recent material developments in our ongoing programs are described below.

Women’s Healthcare

We have developed an oral dosage form of our technology which generates molecular iodine in situ in the stomach of the patient. We refer to this tablet as IoGen™. Based on the available scientific literature, we believe that IoGen may be effective in the prevention and treatment of certain female health problems, including some types of premenopausal breast cancer, FBD and endometriosis.

We have chosen to pursue a treatment for moderate to severe cyclic pain and tenderness (“mastalgia”) associated with FBD based, in part, on the published results covering previous independent third party testing conducted for this indication. Collectively, approximately 3,000 women afflicted with FBD have been orally administered various forms of iodine. The scientific literature includes data on over 1,500 of these women who were dosed with aqueous forms of iodine with reported clinical improvement in their symptoms occurring in 60% or greater of those women. In May 2004, we acquired certain asset from Mimetix, Inc., a privately held company, and other related parties, associated with their iodine development efforts in women’s healthcare for 550,000 shares of Symbollon’s Class A common stock. These assets include information on approximately 3,000 women with fibrocystic breast disease dosed with iodine, including the patient data from three clinical trials utilizing molecular iodine and the intellectual property covering their efforts, inclusive of eight issued US patents. We intend to submit the Mimetix patient data as part of our patient exposure requirement for IoGen.

FBD is a benign breast condition characterized by lumpiness, breast pain and tenderness. FBD affects approximately thirty-five percent of the women of childbearing age, which represents in the United States about 24 million women. It has been estimated that moderate to severe mastalgia occurs in approximately 11% of the women of childbearing age, or about 7.5 million women.

During 2000, Symbollon completed Phase I and Phase II trials evaluating IoGen. Since the completion of the Phase II trial, Symbollon has worked with the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to reach an understanding concerning the remaining information that would be necessary for Symbollon to submit as part of its New Drug Application (“NDA”) covering Symbollon’s request for marketing approval of IoGen for the treatment of cyclic breast pain and tenderness (mastalgia) associated with FBD. The primary remaining activities required for the NDA include conducting two Phase III pivotal clinical trials, gathering exposure data on approximately 1,500 patients and conducting one two-year toxicity study in rodents.
 
21

 
In April 2005, Symbollon and Bioaccelerate Holdings, Inc. (“Bioaccelerate”) formed an exclusive worldwide licensing and co-marketing agreement for IoGen for the treatment of cyclic mastalgia associated with FBD. Under the terms of the agreement, Bioaccelerate was responsible for the development and commercialization expenses of IoGen through its wholly owned subsidiary, Amilar Pharmaceuticals, a specialty pharmaceutical company with development stage compounds in women’s health. Bioaccelerate had the primary responsibility for the commercialization of IoGen, and Symbollon was to oversee the future clinical development efforts necessary to seek marketing approval for IoGen. The parties would have share in any net profits upon commercialization. Pursuant to the agreement with Bioaccelerate, Bioaccelerate was required to fund an escrow account to cover the cost of the clinical development of IoGen. Bioaccelerate did not fund the escrow account as required by the agreement. However, Bioaccelerate did pay Symbollon directly $400,000 for clinical cost incurred in 2005 under the agreement. We sent a notice of default to Bioaccelerate regarding its failure to establish and fund the escrow as required by the agreement. Bioaccelerate did not cure the existing defaults. On August 23, 2006, the parties mutually terminated the licensing and co-marketing agreement. Upon termination of the agreement all rights to IoGen licensed to Bioaccelerate in the agreement reverted back to Symbollon.
 
During 2005, we began enrolling up to 175 subjects in a Phase III pivotal trial. The primary endpoint of the IoGen pivotal trial is a clinically significant reduction of the subject’s breast pain and tenderness using daily patient diaries. The secondary endpoint is a clinically significant reduction of the subject’s nodularity as measured by the physicians’ assessment. Symbollon estimates that enrollment of this Phase III trial will continue throughout 2006.
 

Other Potential Applications

We believe that our technology has potential applications in the development of a variety of human healthcare and other products such as dermatology, topical anti-infectives, oral care and hygiene products, wound care applications, and as a preventive for urinary tract infection. Given our limited resources, although certain preliminary research, development and regulatory activities may be undertaken by us in some of these potential product areas, our ability to fund the development and commercialization of such applications will depend in large part on entering into product development and commercialization agreements with corporate partners. During 2006, we intend to pursue clinical development of certain of these applications as resources allow.

Manufacturing and Supplies

The development and manufacture of our products are subject to good laboratory practices (“GLP”) and current good manufacturing practices (“cGMP”) requirements prescribed by the FDA and to other standards prescribed by the appropriate regulatory agency in the country of use. We did produce IodoZyme in our Framingham facility. We have limited in-house manufacturing capacity, and if we continue to perform manufacturing activities in-house, additional manufacturing space and equipment may be necessary if capacity needs increase. See “Description of Property.”

We do not presently have FDA certified facilities capable of producing quantities of human pharmaceutical products required for clinical trials or commercial production. We will need to rely on collaborators, licensees or contract manufacturers to produce such materials. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain an adequate supply of our product from a third party manufacturer, or that if such a supply can be obtained, that it will comply with GLP and cGMP, as applicable.

We believe that there are adequate sources of the raw materials required for commercial production and testing purposes. We have been and expect to continue to be able to obtain all materials needed for these purposes without any significant interruption or sudden price increase, although there can be no assurance thereof.
 
22

 
Marketing and Distribution

In accordance with the marketing and supply agreement signed with West Agro, West Agro is marketing and distributing IodoZyme, and has agreed to market and distribute other potential cleaners, sanitizers and disinfectants covered by the agreement to dairy farms and dairy processing plants as Symbollon’s exclusive distributor. The principal market for IodoZyme is dairy farms. West Agro has indicated that it intends to stop selling IodoZyme after existing finished goods inventories are sold.

If we are able to develop any other products, we intend to market and distribute our potential products through others having pre-established marketing and distribution networks pursuant to contractual arrangements such as joint venture, licensing, distribution or similar collaborative agreements. The principal markets for the potential pharmaceutical and healthcare products include hospitals, medical offices, dental offices, dialysis centers, outpatient clinics and nursing homes.

Government Regulation

Our research and development activities and the production and marketing of our current and proposed products are subject to regulation by numerous governmental authorities in the United States and comparable state agencies. Foreign governments also regulate the development, production and marketing of products in their countries. The development, manufacturing and marketing of human pharmaceuticals are subject to regulation in the United States for safety and efficacy by the FDA in accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. There can be no assurances that regulatory approvals or clearances will be obtained for any applications of our technology once developed, that if granted they will not be withdrawn or that other regulatory action might not have an adverse impact on the ability to market our proposed products.

In the United States, human pharmaceuticals are subject to rigorous FDA regulation including preclinical and clinical testing. The process of completing clinical trials and obtaining FDA approvals for a new drug is likely to take a number of years, requires the expenditure of substantial resources and is often subject to unanticipated delays. There can be no assurance that any proposed product will receive such approval on a timely basis, if at all.

The steps required before new products for use in humans may be marketed in the United States include (i) preclinical trials, (ii) submission to the FDA of an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application, which must be approved before human clinical trials commence, (iii) adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials to establish the safety and efficacy of the product, (iv) submission of a New Drug Application (“NDA”) for a new drug to the FDA and (v) FDA approval of the NDA prior to any commercial sale or shipment of the product.

Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluation of product formulation, as well as animal studies (if an appropriate animal model is available) to assess the potential safety and efficacy of the product. Formulations must be manufactured according to cGMP and preclinical safety tests must be conducted by laboratories that comply with FDA regulations regarding GLP. The results of the preclinical tests are submitted to the FDA as part of an IND application and are reviewed by the FDA prior to the commencement of human clinical trials. There can be no assurance that submission of an IND application will result in FDA authorization to commence clinical trials. Clinical trials involve the administration of the investigational new drug to healthy volunteers and to patients under the supervision of a qualified principal investigator.
 
23

 
Clinical trials are typically conducted in three sequential phases, although the phases may overlap. In Phase I, the investigational new drug usually is administered to healthy human subjects and is tested for safety, dosage, tolerance, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and pharmacokinetics. Phase II involves studies in a limited patient population to (i) determine the efficacy of the investigational new drug for specific indications, (ii) determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage and (iii) identify possible adverse effects and safety risks. When an investigational new drug is found to be effective and to have an acceptable safety profile in Phase II evaluation, Phase III trials are undertaken to further evaluate clinical efficacy and to further test for safety within an expanded patient population at geographically dispersed clinical study sites. There can be no assurance that Phase I, Phase II or Phase III testing will be completed successfully within any specified time period, if at all, with respect to any of our proposed products subject to such testing. Furthermore, we or the FDA may suspend clinical trials at any time if the participants are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk. The FDA may deny an NDA if applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied, require additional testing or information, or require post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety of our proposed products.

All data obtained from development programs are submitted as an NDA to the FDA and the corresponding agencies in other countries for review and approval. FDA approval of the NDA is required before marketing may begin in the United States. Although the FDA’s policy is to review priority applications within 180 days of their filing, in practice longer times may be required. The FDA frequently requests that additional information be submitted, requiring significant additional review time. Essentially, all our proposed products will be subject to demanding and time-consuming NDA or similar approval procedures in the countries where we intend to market our proposed products. These regulations define not only the form and content of the development of safety and efficacy data regarding the proposed product, but also impose specific requirements regarding manufacture of the proposed product, quality assurance, packaging, storage, documentation and record keeping, labeling and advertising and marketing procedures. Effective commercialization also requires inclusion of our proposed products in national, state, provincial or institutional formularies or cost reimbursement systems.

In addition to regulations enforced by the FDA, we also 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 and other present and potential future federal, state or local regulations. Our research and development involves the controlled use of hazardous materials and chemicals. Although we believe that our safety procedures for handling and disposing of such materials comply with the standards prescribed by state and federal 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 any such liability could exceed our resources.

In both domestic and foreign markets, our ability to commercialize our proposed product candidates will depend, in part, on the availability of reimbursement from third-party payers, such as government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other organizations. Third-party payers are increasingly challenging the price and cost-effectiveness of medical products. There can be no assurance that Symbollon-developed products will be considered cost effective. Significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly-approved medical products. Government and other third-party payers are increasingly attempting to contain medical costs by limiting both coverage and the level of reimbursement for new therapeutic products approved for marketing by the FDA and by refusing, in some cases, to provide coverage for uses of approved products for disease indications for which the FDA has not granted marketing approval. There can be no assurance that adequate third-party insurance coverage will be available for us to establish and maintain price levels sufficient for realization of an appropriate return on our investment in developing new therapies. If adequate coverage and reimbursement levels are not provided by government and third-party payers for uses of our proposed therapeutic products, the market acceptance of these products would be adversely affected.
 
24

 
There have been a number of federal and state proposals during the last few years to subject the pricing of pharmaceuticals to government control and to make other changes to the medical care system of the United States. It is uncertain what legislative proposals will be adopted or what actions federal, state or private payers for medical goods and services may take in response to any medical reform proposals or legislation. We cannot predict the effect medical reforms may have on our business, and no assurance can be given that any such reforms will not have a material adverse effect on us.
 
IodoZyme, the bovine teat dip manufactured by us, is subject to regulation by the FDA as an animal drug. Although a lengthy new animal drug application ("NADA") approval process is generally required prior to marketing an animal drug, under regulatory discretion afforded by the FDA, the agency does not currently require manufacturers of bovine teat sanitizers to undergo this process. The only current FDA requirements applicable to teat treatment manufacturers are compliance with the FDA's labeling, establishment registration, drug listing, and manufacturing requirements. We believe that we are in compliance with the current FDA requirements applicable to teat treatment manufacturers. However, in February 1993, the FDA issued draft guidelines setting forth the types of data necessary to demonstrate that a teat treatment is safe for the cow, effective and fulfills human food safety, manufacturing and environmental requirements. Testing of IodoZyme was not conducted in accordance with such guidelines. Future required compliance with these guidelines or other FDA requirements which may be adopted, the probability or scope of which cannot currently be ascertained by us, would have a significant adverse effect on the marketing of IodoZyme and, if a market for IodoZyme otherwise exists, on our results of operations. As disclosed above, West Agro has indicated that it intends to stop selling IodoZyme after existing finished goods inventories are sold.

Patents and Proprietary Rights

We consider patent protection of our iodine technology to be critical to our business prospects. We currently hold twenty-five patents in the United States relating to our technology. In addition, we hold patents and have filed a number of patent applications relating to our technology in foreign countries.

Much of the know-how of importance to our technology and many of our processes are dependent upon the knowledge, experience and skills, which are not patentable, of key scientific and technical personnel. To protect our rights to and to maintain the confidentiality of trade secrets and proprietary information, we require employees, Scientific Advisory Board members, consultants and collaborators to execute confidentiality and invention assignment agreements upon commencement of a relationship with us. These agreements prohibit the disclosure of confidential information to anyone outside us and require disclosure and assignment to us of ideas, developments, discoveries and inventions made by such employees, advisors, consultants and collaborators while engaged by us. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will not be breached or that our trade secrets or proprietary information will not otherwise become known or developed independently by others. Also, to the extent that consultants or other third parties apply technological information independently developed by them or by others to our projects, disputes may arise as to the proprietary rights to such information which may not be resolved in our favor. We are required to pay royalties to a co-inventor on certain patents relating to our technology based on revenues received by us from sales of products falling within the scope of such patents.

Competition

Our proposed products and products incorporating our proposed products would compete with many other applications currently on the market. In addition, we are aware of other companies engaged in research and development of other novel approaches to applications in some or all of the markets identified by us as potential fields of application for our products. Many of our present and potential competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources and larger research and development staffs than we have. Many of these companies also have extensive experience in testing and applying for regulatory approvals. In addition, colleges, universities, government agencies, and public and private research organizations conduct research and are becoming more active in seeking patent protection and licensing arrangements to collect royalties for the use of technology that they have developed, some of which may be directly competitive with our applications.
 
26

 
We are aware of a few companies that are or plan to develop drugs to treat FBD. Ascend Therapeutics, Herndon, Virginia, has completed phase II clinical trials using a selective estrogen receptor modulator to treat breast pain. FemmePharma, Inc., Wayne, Pennsylvania, is in preclinical testing evaluating a treatment for FBD. One other company, Mimetix Inc., has conducted human clinical trials in the United States and Canada utilizing an iodine-based compound for the treatment of FBD. We have purchased all of Mimetix’s assets, including their patient data and intellectual property, related to their iodine-based compound for the treatment of FBD. If any company receives marketing approval for its drug compound before we do, it could adversely affect our ability to receive marketing approval, or if approved, our ability to sell our product.

The bovine teat sanitizer market is currently dominated by iodophor products, which generally compete on the basis of price and the ratio of microbial killing power to total iodine. We believe that IodoZyme competes on the basis of its superior convenience and high ratio of killing power to total iodine. Additionally, IodoZyme, manufactured by us and sold by West Agro, competes directly with products currently being manufactured and sold by West Agro. As disclosed above, West Agro has indicated that it intends to stop selling IodoZyme after existing finished goods inventories are sold.

Employees

On December 30, 2005, our two officers resigned from their employment with us in order to avail themselves of their contractual rights to limit Symbollon’s recourse to collect certain promissory notes to the stock pledged. On December 30, 2005, the two officers returned their pledged stock and the promissory notes were cancelled. Therefore, as of December 31, 2005, we had one full-time employee. On January 3, 2006, we rehired our two officers to full-time employment. As of August 22, 2006, we have 3 full time employees. We have relationships with and from time to time engage the services of university professors and other qualified consultants to assist us in technological research and development. None of our employees are currently represented by a labor union. Management considers its employee relations to be good. We believe that our future success is dependent to a significant degree on our being able to continue to attract and retain skilled personnel.


DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

We lease approximately 5,400 square feet of office, research and development and manufacturing space in Framingham, Massachusetts for a current base annual rental of approximately $38,000 increasing $0.25 per square foot each year effective September 1. The lease expires on August 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2005, future minimum payments under our non-cancellable operating lease total $67,000. We believe that this space is suitable and adequate for our current needs.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not currently involved in any material legal proceedings, although claims may arise from time to time in the conduct of our operations. There can be no assurance at this time that any claims that may arise in connection with the conduct of our business will not materially adversely affect our business or operations, or divert our critical resources.

Number and Election of Directors

Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, our Board of Directors, which currently consists of five members, is divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III, each serving staggered three-year terms. The terms of the Class I (consisting of Mr. Desjourdy and Mr. Lieberstein), Class II (consisting of Dr. Richards and Mr. Maradie) and Class III (consisting of Dr. Kessler) directors will expire at the 2009, 2007 and 2008 Annual Meetings of Stockholders, respectively.

General Information Concerning the Board of Directors and its Committees

Our Board of Directors currently has three committees, the Executive, Compensation and Audit Committee.

Executive Committee. The Executive Committee exercises all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management and affairs of Symbollon between meetings of the Board of Directors, to the extent permitted by law. The current members of the Executive Committee are Messrs. Kessler (Chairman), Desjourdy and Richards.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial information which will be provided to shareholders and others, the system of internal control which management has established, our process for monitoring compliance with laws and regulations, the independence of the outside auditors and the audit process. It is the general responsibility of the Audit Committee to advise and make recommendations to the Board of Directors in all matters regarding our accounting methods and internal control procedures. Specific duties of the Audit Committee are set forth in its charter. The current members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Richards (Chairman), Maradie and Lieberstein. One member of the Audit Committee, Mr. Maradie, is “independent” under the current NASDAQ stock market listing standards and SEC rules for audit committee member independence; the other two members are not independent under these standards and rules. We do not have an audit committee financial expert serving on the Audit Committee because the Board of Directors believes that the current composition of the committee is adequate to fulfill its oversight responsibilities in light of the simplicity of our financial statements and accounting procedures. Because our shares are not currently listed on a national securities exchange or national securities association, we are not subject to a requirement that each member of the Audit Committee be independent or that we have an audit committee financial expert.
 
29

 
Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee reviews and recommends to the Board of Directors remuneration arrangements and compensation plans for our executives. The current members of the Committee are Messrs. Maradie (Chairman), Richards and Lieberstein.

There are no family relationships among any of our directors, officers or key employees.

The value of unexercised in-the-money option/SARs at December 31, 2005, was determined by multiplying the difference between the fair market value (the closing sales price) of the Common Stock at the close of business on December 31, 2005 ($0.77 per share) and the option/SAR exercise price, by the number of option/SARs outstanding at that date.

Director Compensation

Upon Board of Directors’ approval in May 1998, we no longer provide cash compensation to directors for attendance at board or committee meetings. Each non-employee director is entitled to receive on January 1st of each year an option (the "Annual Options") to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock at the then fair market value under our 1995 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan. The Annual Options may only be exercised with respect to vested shares. One-half of the shares subject to such options vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the balance vest on the second anniversary of the date of grant. Our 1995 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan expired after the grant made on January 3, 2006; however, at the 2006 Annual Meeting a successor plan was adopted pursuant to which annual grants of options for 10,000 shares would be made. All directors will be reimbursed for ordinary and necessary travel expenses incurred in attendance at each board or committee meeting.
 
Employment Agreements

On January 3, 2006, the Company entered into new employment agreements with Paul C. Desjourdy to serve as its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and President and Jack H. Kessler to serve as its Chief Scientific Officer. Both agreements expire in December 2008. In 2006, Mr. Desjourdy and Dr. Kessler will receive salaries of $265,000 and $190,000 per annum, respectively. Both Executive Officers have agreed to devote their full time and best efforts to fulfill their duties and responsibilities to Symbollon. They will be entitled to participate in employee benefit plans.

We have the right to terminate the agreements for Cause (as defined therein) or as a result of the Executive Officers' death or Permanent Disability (as defined therein). The Executive Officers have the right to terminate their agreements on account of their Constructive Discharge (as defined therein). Except in the case of termination for Cause, upon early termination of their agreements, the Executive Officers shall be entitled to receive their salaries plus fringe benefits for a period of 12 months from the date of termination and any bonuses prorated through the date of termination.

Both Executive Officers have agreed not to disclose to anyone our confidential information during the term of their employment or thereafter and will not compete with us utilizing our proprietary information, know-how or trade secrets during the term of their employment or thereafter. All work, research and results thereof, including, without limitation, inventions, processes or formulae made, conceived or developed by the Executive Officers during the term of employment which are related to the business, research, and development work or field of operation of Symbollon shall be our property.

Dr. Kessler is a principal stockholder, officer and director of a company which has rights to use technology that he developed pertaining to contact lens disinfection. This technology, which is similar to our technology, is not expected to be assigned to us. As a result, use of our technology in the area of contact lens disinfection may require the prior consent of such other company or the then owner of such rights.

For information on our executive loan program for stock option exercises and the limited recourse loan repayment by Messrs. Desjourdy and Kessler pursuant thereto, see “Certain Relationships and Certain Transactions” below.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

On September 1, 2004, Symbollon sold in a private placement to accredited investors 1,261,692 shares of Class A Common Stock and 630,846 redeemable warrants for $634,300 in cash and $185,800 in prepaid services for manufacturing, consulting and clinical trial expenses. Messrs. Richards, Kessler and Desjourdy each invested $40,000 and Mr. Lieberstein invested $7,000 as part of the private placement on the same terms and conditions as the third party investors.

During 2005 and 2004, we paid an aggregate of approximately $21,000 and $2,000, respectively, for legal services to Eugene Lieberstein or Anderson Kill & Olick, P.C., of which law firm he was a partner.

We exchange office space for services with a company owned by the spouse and in-law of one of our officers and directors, Mr. Desjourdy. Mr. Desjourdy is also a director in the other company. The estimated annual value for 2005 and 2004 of the relationship is $9,600 for each year.

In May 2000, the Board of Directors approved an executive loan program pursuant to which our executives could borrow from us up to $500,000 each for the purpose of exercising stock options. Under the program, any borrowings would be evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at the applicable federal rate and secured by the underlying shares purchased. In the event the executive’s employment with us is terminated prior to December 31, 2005, and the market value of the pledged shares on the date of such termination is less than the principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the note at such time, then our sole recourse for payment of the note would be the pledged shares.

In January 2001, Messrs. Desjourdy and Kessler exercised options to purchase 251,614 and 211,281 shares of Common Stock, respectively, pursuant to our executive loan program. The principal amounts of the promissory notes for Messrs. Desjourdy and Kessler were $448,915 and $385,645, respectively.

On December 30, 2005, Messrs. Desjourdy and Kessler resigned from their employment with Symbollon in order to avail themselves of their contractual rights to limit our recourse to collect the promissory notes to the pledged stock. On December 30, 2005, Messrs. Desjourdy and Kessler returned their stock (having a then market value of $193,743 and $162,686, respectively, and the promissory notes were cancelled. The officers were subsequently rehired on January 3, 2006 under new employment agreements. For information concerning employment agreements with and options granted to or held by our officers, see “Executive Compensation”.

Upon the exercise of warrants previously issued as part of a 2004 private placement, we issued from December 2005 through March 2006 (in addition to shares) 615,461 warrants exercisable at a price of 40.65 per share from September 1, 2006 to February 28, 2009 if the holder has not sold any of the shares he or she acquired in the 2004 private placement or from exercise of the 2004 warrants. On June 2, 2006 and August 21, 2206, we sold in private placements 1,366,500 shares of Class A common stock and a like number of warrants exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share through August 21, 2011. The 1,366,500 shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued in the 2006 private placements, plus an additional 24,160 shares issuable to placement agents upon exercise of warrants held by them, constitute the shares underlying warrants whose resale is covered by this prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus for the selling stockholders. As used in this prospectus, "selling stockholders" includes the donees, pledgees, transferees or others who may later hold a selling stockholder's interest. The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. A selling stockholder may, from time to time, sell all or a portion of its shares of common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or on any national securities exchange or automated inter-dealer quotation system on which our common stock may be listed or traded, or in private transactions, or otherwise, at prices then prevailing or related to the current market price or at negotiated prices. One or more underwriters on a firm commitment or best efforts basis may sell the shares of common stock directly or through brokers or dealers or in a distribution. The methods by which the shares of common stock may be sold include:
 
o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers or through market-makers;
 
o a block trade (which may involve crosses) in which the broker or dealer engaged will attempt to sell the shares of common stock as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block, as principal, to facilitate the transaction;

o purchases by a broker or dealer, as principal, and resales by such broker or dealer for its account;

o an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

o privately-negotiated transactions;

o short sales or transactions in put or call options or other rights or hedging transactions (whether exchange-listed or otherwise) established after the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
 
o broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

o a combination of any such methods of sale; and

o any other method permitted pursuant to applicable laws.
 

In addition, any of the shares of common stock that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 may be sold in transactions complying with that Rule, rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

A selling stockholder may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by it and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed, if required, an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholder under this prospectus.

 
36

 
A selling stockholder also may transfer the shares of common stock or its interest in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successive successors in interest (including, without limitation, a purchaser of a selling stockholder’s interest) will be the selling beneficial owner for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment, if required, to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholder under this prospectus.

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents participating in the distribution of our shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, and any commissions received by any broker-dealer or agent and profit on any resale of shares of common stock may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act of 1933. Broker-dealers engaged by selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. For sales to or through broker-dealers, these broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or the purchasers of the shares, or both. The commissions received by a broker-dealer or agent may be in excess of customary compensation. If a selling stockholder is deemed to be an "underwriter," the selling stockholder may have liability for the accuracy of the contents of this prospectus under the Securities Act of 1933.

At a time a particular offer of shares is made by a selling stockholder, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed that will set forth the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents and any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any other required information.

In connection with distributions of the selling stockholders' shares, or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or others prior to or after the effective time of the arrangement. These broker-dealers may engage in short sales of shares or other transactions in the course of hedging the positions assumed by them or otherwise. The selling stockholders may also:

o sell shares short and redeliver shares to close out short positions,

o enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or others that may involve the delivery to those persons the shares, and broker-dealers may resell those shares pursuant to this prospectus, and

o pledge the shares to a broker-dealer or others and, upon a default, these persons may effect sales of the shares pursuant to this prospectus.

We have advised the selling stockholders that open positions in shares of common stock covered by this prospectus prior to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, being declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission may constitute a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933. Each selling stockholders advised us that it did not have an open position in the common stock covered by this prospectus at the time of
its response to our inquiry.

In order to comply with securities laws of some states, if applicable, the shares of our common stock may be sold only through registered or licensed broker-dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and complied with.
 
37

 
The selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and its rules and regulations, including without limitation, Rule 102 under Regulation M. We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulative provisions of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to their sales in the market and have informed them that they must deliver copies of this prospectus. We are not aware, as of the date of this prospectus, of any agreements between any of the selling stockholders and any broker-dealers with respect to the sale of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. These provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of our common stock by the selling stockholders. All of the above may affect the marketability of our common stock.

The selling stockholders may offer all of the shares of our common stock for sale immediately. Because it is possible that a significant number of shares could be sold at the same time under this prospectus, these sales, or that possibility, may have a depressive effect on the market price of our common stock.

We will receive none of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders, except upon exercise of warrants presently outstanding.

We will pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of the shares of common stock offered by the selling stockholders, including all registration and filing fees, listing fees, printing expenses, and our legal and accounting fees. Each selling stockholder will pay all of its own brokerage fees and commissions, if any, incurred in connection with the sale of its shares of common stock. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

We cannot assure you, however, that any of the selling stockholders will sell any or all of the shares of common stock they may offer.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

General

The authorized capital stock of Symbollon consists of:

- 93,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock;
- 1,250,000 shares of Class B Common Stock; and
- 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.

The following description of our capital stock does not purport to be complete and is governed by and qualified by our Amended Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws, which are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and by the provisions of applicable Delaware law.

As of August 22, 2006, there were 9,241,238 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and no shares of Class B Common Stock or Preferred Stock outstanding.


38


Common Stock


The holders of both classes of our common stock have substantially identical rights except that the holders of the Class A Common Stock have the right to cast one vote for each share held of record and holders of the Class B Common Stock have the right to cast five votes for each share held of record in all matters submitted to a vote of holders of Common Stock. The Class A and the Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters on which stockholders may vote, including the election of directors, except when class voting is required by applicable law. There is no right to cumulative voting. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides for a classified Board of Directors; consisting of three classes, with one class being elected each year. This can have the effect of making it more difficult to rapidly change the composition of a majority of the Board.

The holders of both classes of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of both classes of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities. Neither class of our common stock has any preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to either class of our common stock.

The difference in voting rights described above increases the voting power of the Class B Common stockholders and accordingly has an anti-takeover effect. The fact that the Directors can issue the Class B Common Stock may make the Company a less attractive target for a hostile takeover bid or render more difficult or discourage a merger proposal, an unfriendly tender offer, a proxy contest, or the removal of incumbent management.

Preferred Stock

The Preferred Stock may be issued in series, and shares of each series will have such rights and preferences as are fixed by the Board in the resolutions authorizing the issuance of that particular series. In designating any series of Preferred Stock, the Board may, without further action by the holders of Common Stock, fix the number of shares constituting that series and fix the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights (which may be greater or lesser than the voting rights of the Common Stock), rights and terms of redemption (including any sinking fund provisions), and the liquidation preferences of the series of Preferred Stock. It is to be expected that the holders of any series of the Preferred Stock, when and if issued, will have priority claims to dividends and to any distributions upon liquidation of the Company, and that they may have other preferences over the holders of the Class A Common Stock.

The Board may issue series of the Preferred Stock without action of the stockholders of the Company. Accordingly, the issuance of Preferred Stock may adversely affect the rights of the holders of the Class A Common Stock. In addition, the issuance of Preferred Stock may be used as an “anti-takeover” device without further action on the part of the stockholders. Issuance of Preferred Stock may dilute the voting power of holders of Class A Common Stock (such as by issuing Preferred Stock with super-voting rights) and may render more difficult the removal of current management, even if such removal may be in the stockholders best interests


39


LIMITATIONS ON OFFICER AND DIRECTOR LIABLITITY

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that members of our Board of Directors shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except for liability:

- for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;
- for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
- under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware; or
- for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that if the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of members of our Board of Directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as so amended.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws also provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The indemnification provided by our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws will not be deemed exclusive of any other rights that may be provided now or in the future under any provision currently in effect or hereafter adopted by our Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws, by any agreement, by vote of our stockholders, by resolution of our directors, by provision of law or otherwise.

We have entered into an indemnification agreement with each of our directors and officers. Such agreement provides that we will indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any civil or criminal action or administrative proceeding arising out of their performance of their duties as our directors or officers other than an action initiated by them. Such indemnification is available if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, and with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Under such indemnification agreement, the entitlement of a director or officer to indemnification is determined by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors, or if such quorum either is not obtainable or so directs, by independent counsel or by the stockholders, as determined by such quorum of disinterested directors. Under certain circumstances, a party to the indemnification agreement is conclusively presumed to have met the applicable statutory standard of conduct unless our Board of Directors, stockholders or independent legal counsel determine that the relevant standard has not been met. If we have a change of control, the entitlement of such director or officer to indemnification is determined by independent counsel selected by such director or officer, unless such director or officer requests that either the Board of Directors or the stockholders make such determination.

We have also secured directors' and officers' liability insurance on behalf of our directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons in accordance with the provisions contained in our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws, Delaware law or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Symbollon Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Symbollon Pharmaceuticals, Inc., as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Symbollon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.   Description of
Business and
Basis of
Presentation
Symbollon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (formerly Symbollon Corporation) was formed to develop and commercialize proprietary iodine-based products for infection control and treatment in biomedical and bioagricultural industries.
 
The success of future operations is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other companies in the same stage of development. Principal among these risks are the Company’s cumulative operating losses, no assurance of profitable future operations, early state of market development, competition from substitute products or larger companies, dependence on key personnel and the uncertainty of additional future financing as needed.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of our company as a going concern. We had net losses of $645,973 and $2,647,108 and negative cash flows from operations of $898,465 and $805,108 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. At December 31, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of $12,811,751 and working capital of $436,950. These factors raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The application of the going concern concept is dependent upon the Company’s ability to receive continued financial support from the Company’s creditors, stockholders, external investors and IoGen commercialization partner. The Company has sent a notice of default to the IoGen partner regarding its failure to establish and fund the escrow as required by the licensing agreement. Unless the IoGen partner cures the existing defaults, the Company may terminate the licensing agreement at any time and receive back all rights to IoGen it licensed to the IoGen partner in the agreement. (See Note 13) If the Company’s IoGen commercialization partner continues to have financial difficulties, we may need to secure a new partner to help complete the development and commercialization of IoGen. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize the Company’s assets and discharge the Company’s liabilities in other than the normal course of operations. Management plans to obtain equity and debt financing from external investors, and if necessary, to actively pursue a new partner to help complete the development and commercialization of IoGen.
 
Management believes the plan described above will be sufficient to meet the Company’s liabilities and commitments as they become payable over the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that management's plan will be successful. Failure to obtain the support of additional external investors to finance the Company’s operations will cause us to curtail operations and impair the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2.   Summary of
Significant
Accounting Policies
 
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of less than three months when acquired.
Concentration of
Credit Risks
The Company has one customer for its product, IodoZyme. The customer’s financial condition is reviewed on an ongoing basis, and collateral is not required. The Company believes a reserve for potential credit losses is not necessary as of December 31, 2005 and 2004.
   
Accounts Receivable
and Allowance for
Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customer’s financial condition and generally does not require collateral. Senior management reviews accounts receivable on a periodic basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, if any, in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the information available to the Company, it believes an allowance for doubtful accounts is not necessary as of December 31, 2005 and 2004. However, actual write-offs might exceed the Company’s estimates.
 
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market.
   
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as intangible assets and property and equipment are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets. When any such impairment exists, the related assets are written down to fair value. The Company does not believe that any of its long-lived assets are impaired at December 31, 2005 or 2004.

2.   Summary of
Significant
Accounting Policies
(Continued)
 
 
Depreciation and
Amortization
Equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated over its estimated useful life (ranging from 5-7 years) using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and are being amortized by the straight-line method over the 10 year term of the lease which is less than their estimated useful lives.
 
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets subject to amortization consist of patents and trademarks that have estimated useful lives ranging from 12-17 years and a weighted average useful life of 9.9 years. Costs related to patent applications are capitalized as incurred and are amortized once the patent application is accepted or are expensed if the application is rejected or there are other circumstances that indicate that the asset is impaired (as described above).
   
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes, as set forth in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting For Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such asset will be realized in future periods.
 
Fair value of
Financial
Instruments
 
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets and accounts payable approximate fair value based on their short-term maturities.
Revenue
Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from its product sales and licensing arrangements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition.” Under these guidelines, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and payment is reasonably assured. Due to uncertainty concerning collectibility, the Company now recognizes revenue its licensing arrangement with Bioaccelerate as cash is collected. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has incurred costs of $84,583 that are eligible for reimbursement, for which the Company has not recognized revenue.
Research and
Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. On May 28, 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of Mimetix Inc., a privately held company, and other related parties associated with their iodine drug development efforts in women’s healthcare for 550,000 shares of Symbollon’s Class A common stock. The assets primarily consisted of clinical trials results and data with no future alternative use to the Company.

Development

Accordingly, the cost of $935,000 is included as research and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2004 in the accompanying statement of operations.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plan using the intrinsic value method. The Company provides pro forma disclosures for compensation expense under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure.” If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost for the plans based on the fair value at the grant date for awards granted under the plans, consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the effect on net loss and earnings per share would have been as follows:

  The fair value of the Company’s stock options used to compute the pro forma net loss and net loss per share disclosures is the estimated fair value at grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 2005 and 2004, respectively: dividend yield of 0% for both years; expected volatility between 220% and 236% and between 260% and 270%, respectively; a risk-free interest rate of between 3.93 and 4.30 and 4.00%, respectively, and an expected holding period between 7 and 9 years and between 8 and 9 years, respectively.

Accounting Policies
(Continued)
 
 
Loss Per Share
The Company follows SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Under SFAS No. 128, basic earnings per share excludes the effect of any dilutive options, warrants or convertible securities and is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents computed using the average market price for the period under the treasury stock method.
   
Recent
Accounting
Standards
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS NO. 123(R), “Share Based Payment.” This statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations. This statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services or incurs a liability in exchange for goods and services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. It requires an entity to measure the costs of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognize that cost over the service period. This statement is effective for small business issuers for the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company will adopt its provisions effective January 1, 2006. The Company has not yet determined the impact that adoption of this statement will have on its financial position or results of operations.

The Class A and Class B common stock are substantially identical except that holders of Class A common stock have the right to cast one vote for each share held and the Class B shareholders have the right to cast five votes for each share held. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, there were no shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding. The preferred stock may be issued in series, and shares of each series will have such rights and preferences as are fixed by the Company’s Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, there were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

     Stock Purchase
      Warrants
On September 1, 2004, the Company sold in a private placement to accredited investors 1,261,692 shares of Class A common stock and 630,846 redeemable warrants for $634,300 in cash and $185,800 in prepaid services for manufacturing, consulting and clinical trial expenses. Officers and directors of the Company invested $127,000 of the cash raised as part of the private placement on the same terms and conditions as the third party investors.
 
The redeemable warrants entitle the holder thereof to purchase at any time up to February 28, 2006 (which was extended to March 31, 2006) a share of Class A common stock at a price of sixty-five cents ($0.65) per share. As of December 31, 2005, redeemable warrants covering 4,000 shares were exercised, netting the Company $2,600 in cash. From January 2006 through March 2006, redeemable warrants covering an additional 611,461 shares were exercised, netting the Company $330,175 in cash and $67,275 in prepaid consulting services. In connection with the exercise of the redeemable warrants, the Company issued 615,461 warrants entitling the holder thereof to purchase from September 1, 2006 to February 28, 2009 a share of Class A common stock at a price of sixty-five cents ($0.65) per share. The new warrants will only become exercisable if the holder thereof does not sell any of the shares acquired by the holder in the 2004 private placement and upon exercise of the holder’s redeemable warrants.
 
The Company accounts for certain of the shares and warrants issued for prepaid services under Emerging Task Force Issue 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” (EITF 96-18). Accordingly, the Company has recognized approximately $28,000 and $120,250 of expense related to these shares and warrants for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, in the accompanying statement of operations.

In January, 2004 the Company issued options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at $0.25 per share to a consultant hired by the Company. The options vested 25,000 on June 30, 2004 and 25,000 on December 31, 2004. Pursuant to the consulting agreement, the first traunche of 25,000 shares was issued for no cash consideration, as the $6,250 exercise price was earned as a bonus for services rendered, because the Company’s average closing price for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was greater than $0.50 per share. The second traunche of 25,000 shares was also exercised for no cash consideration as the $6,250 exercise price was earned as a bonus for services rendered, because the Company’s average common stock closing price for the three months ended December 31, 2004 was greater than $0.75 per share. The Company accounts for these options under EITF 96-18. Accordingly, the Company has recognized approximately $78,750 of expense related to these options for the year ended December 31, 2004, included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.
 
On December 1, 2004, we entered into a services agreement with a doctor. In accordance with the services agreement, and as consideration for the services to be provided by the doctor, we agreed to issue 5,000 shares of Class A common stock upon execution, and on each of the first and second anniversaries of the agreement. The Company accounts for these shares under EITF 96-18. Accordingly, the Company has recognized approximately $5,350 and $7,250 of expense related to these shares for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, included in research and development expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.
 
On December 16, 2004, we entered into a services agreement with CEOcast, Inc. In accordance with the services agreement, and as partial consideration for the services provided by CEOcast, Inc., we agreed to issue 45,000 shares of Class A common stock upon execution. The Company accounts for these shares under EITF 96-18. Accordingly, the Company has recognized approximately $57,750 and $5,250 of expense related to these shares for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.

On September 15, 2005, we entered into a services agreement with Premier Funding Services LLC. In accordance with the services agreement, and as partial consideration for the services provided by the vendor, we agreed to issue 20,000 shares of Class A common stock and warrants to purchase 40,000 shares of Class A common stock upon execution of the agreement. The Company accounts for these shares under EITF 96-18. Accordingly, the Company has determined the fair value of the shares and warrants to be $42,458 and has recognized $12,384 of expense related to these shares and warrants for the year ended December 31, 2005, included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations. The remaining fair value of the shares and warrants has been recorded as a prepaid expense at December 31, 2005 and will be amortized in 2006 over the remaining service agreement term.
 
Common Stock
Subscriptions
Receivable
In January 2001, certain officers of the Company entered into Promissory Notes and Pledge Agreements (the “Notes”) with the Company totaling $834,560 in exchange for 462,895 shares of Class A common stock acquired through the exercise of vested stock options. The Notes bore interest at a fixed rate of 5.61% and were due in full on December 31, 2005. The Notes were collateralized by the 462,895 shares of Class A common stock and the Company had full recourse to pursue collection in the event of default. The Company’s recourse was limited to the pledged stock in the event that the officer is no longer employed with the Company and if the then market value of the pledged stock is less than the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the officer’s Note. The Company accounted for the Notes under FIN 44 “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation (an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25)” (FIN 44) and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-23 “Issues Related to the Accounting of Stock Compensation Under APB Opinion No. 25 and FASB Interpretation 44” as variable arrangements. Pursuant to these pronouncements, no compensation cost was recognized in 2005 or 2004.

On December 30, 2005, the officers resigned from their employment with the Company in order to avail themselves of their contractual rights to limit the Company’s recourse to collect the Notes to the pledged stock. On December 30, 2005, the two officers returned their stock and the Notes were cancelled. The officers were subsequently rehired on January 3, 2006 under new employment agreements.
Investment Agreement
On October 1, 2003, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, L.P. (Dutchess). Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Company may, at its discretion, periodically put to Dutchess shares of its Class A common stock at a price equal to 95% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for the five days immediately following the date that the Company gives its notice to Dutchess of its intention to put such stock.
 
Subject to a $1 million per put cap, the maximum amount of each put exercise is equal to, at the Company’s election (i) 200% of the average daily volume of the Class A common stock for the 20 trading days prior to the applicable put notice multiplied by the average of the three daily closing bid prices immediately preceding the date of the put, or (ii) $10,000.
 
The Company may continue to put shares to Dutchess until October 17, 2006 or Dutchess has paid a total of $10 million, whichever occurs first. During June 2004 the Company put 6,865 shares to Dutchess for proceeds of $9,925.
 
7.    Stock Plans
The Company has adopted two stock plans: a stock option plan and a nonemployee directors’ stock option plan.
 
The stock option plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options and stock appreciation rights. The Company has reserved 3,200,000 shares for issuance under this plan.

7.   Stock Plans
(Continued)
The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $1.11 and $1.52 per share, respectively.
 
 
In November 2003, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repricing of employee options, canceling 690,000 options with exercise prices ranging from $1.94 to $9.06 and issuing options to purchase 600,000 shares of common stock at $0.28 per share, which was above the market value on the date of the repricing. These options are subject to variable plan accounting, as required by FIN 44 and APB 25. As prescribed by the provisions of APB 25 the Company will remeasure the intrinsic value of the repriced options, through the earlier of the date of exercise, cancellation or expiration, at each reporting date. Accordingly, the Company has recognized credits of $296,749 and expenses of $593,749 related to the repriced options for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
8.   Loss Per Share
The Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
 
 
The following table summarizes securities that were outstanding as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 but not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because such shares are antidilutive:

As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the deferred tax assets have been fully offset by valuation allowances, since the realization of such amounts is uncertain. The change in the valuation allowance during 2005 and 2004 was $177,000 and $1,132,000, respectively.
 
As of December 31, 2005, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $12,315,000. The amount of the net operating loss carryforwards which may be utilized in any future period may be subject to certain limitations, based upon changes in the ownership of the Company’s common stock.

13.   Licensing  Agreement
On April 12, 2005, Symbollon entered into an exclusive worldwide licensing and co-marketing agreement covering the use of IoGen for the treatment of cyclic pain and tenderness in humans with Bioaccelerate Holdings Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, Bioaccelerate will fund ongoing Phase III development of IoGen through its wholly owned subsidiary, Amilar Pharmaceuticals. Bioaccelerate has the primary responsibility for the commercialization of IoGen, and Symbollon will oversee the future clinical development efforts necessary to seek marketing approval for IoGen. The parties will share in any net profits upon commercialization.
 
Pursuant to the agreement with Bioaccelerate, Bioaccelerate is required to fund an escrow account to cover the cost of the clinical development of IoGen. As of December 31, 2005, Bioaccelerate had not funded the escrow account as required by the agreement. Symbollon has sent a notice of default to Bioaccelerate regarding its failure to establish and fund the escrow as required by the agreement. Unless Bioaccelerate cures the existing defaults, Symbollon may terminate the agreement at any time and receive back all rights to IoGen it licensed to Bioaccelerate in the agreement. (See Note 1).

1. Description of
Business and
Basis of
Presentation
Symbollon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (formerly Symbollon Corporation) was formed to develop and commercialize proprietary iodine-based products for infection control and treatment in biomedical and bioagricultural industries.
 
The success of future operations is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other companies in the same stage of development. Principal among these risks are our cumulative operating losses, no assurance of profitable future operations, early state of market development, competition from substitute products or larger companies, dependence on key personnel and the uncertainty of additional future financing as needed.
 
The Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company had a net loss of $645,973 and $1,194,541 and negative cash flows from operations of $898,465 and $632,934 for the year ended December 31, 2005 and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. At December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, the Company also had an accumulated deficit of $12,811,751 and $14,006,292, respectively, and working capital of $436,950 and $823,110, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The application of the going concern concept is dependent upon the Company’s ability to receive continued financial support from the Company’s creditors, stockholders and external investors and IoGen™ commercialization partner. Symbollon has sent a notice of default to our IoGen partner regarding its failure to establish and fund the escrow as required by the licensing agreement. Unless the IoGen partner cures the existing defaults, Symbollon may terminate the licensing agreement at any time and receive back all rights to IoGen it licensed to the IoGen partner in the agreement. (See Note 6) If the IoGen partner continues to have financial difficulties, we may need to secure a new partner to help complete the development and commercialization of IoGen. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in other than the normal course of operations. Management plans to obtain equity and debt financing from external investors, and if necessary, to actively pursue a new partner to help complete the development and commercialization of IoGen. In June 2006, Symbollon raised $1,000,000 in a private placement of 1,000,000 shares of its Class A common stock and a like number of warrants. (See Note 3)
 
Management believes the plan described above will be sufficient to meet the Company’s liabilities and commitments as they become payable over the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that management's plan will be successful. Failure to obtain the support of additional external investors to finance the Company’s operations will cause us to curtail operations and impair the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2. Summary of
Significant
Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited financial statements do not contain all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
 
The accounting policies that management believes are most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of less than three months when acquired.
Concentration of
Credit Risks
The Company has one customer for its IodoZyme® product and a commercialization partner for its IoGen program. The customer’s and partner’s financial condition are reviewed on an ongoing basis, and collateral is not required. The Company believes a reserve for potential credit losses is not necessary as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
   
Accounts Receivable
and Allowance for
Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are customer or partner obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customer’s and partner’s financial condition and generally does not require collateral. Senior management reviews accounts receivable, if any, on a periodic basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, if any, in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the information available to the Company, it believes an allowance for doubtful accounts is not necessary as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. However, actual write-offs might exceed the Company’s estimates.

Inventory
Inventory at December 31, 2005 was stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market.
 
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as intangible assets and property and equipment are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets. When any such impairment exists, the related assets are written down to fair value. The Company does not believe that any of its long-lived assets are impaired at June 30, 2006 or December 31, 2005.
   
Depreciation and
Amortization
Equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated over its estimated useful life (ranging from 5-7 years) using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and are being amortized by the straight-line method over the 10 year term of the lease which is less than their estimated useful lives.
 
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets subject to amortization consist of patents and trademarks that have estimated useful lives ranging from 12-17 years and a remaining weighted average useful life of 9.9 years. Costs related to patent applications are capitalized as incurred and are amortized once the patent application is accepted or are expensed if the application is rejected or there are other circumstances that indicate that the asset is impaired (as described above).
   
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes, as set forth in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting For Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such asset will be realized in future periods.
 
Fair value of
Financial
Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets and accounts payable approximate fair value based on their short-term maturities.

Revenue
Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from its product sales and licensing arrangements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition.” Under these guidelines, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and payment is reasonably assured. Due to uncertainty concerning collectibility, the Company now recognizes revenue under its licensing arrangement with Bioaccelerate as cash is collected. As of June 30, 2006, the Company has incurred costs of $397,062 that are eligible for reimbursement, for which the Company has not recognized revenue.
 
Research and
Development
 
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The Company issued stock options to its employees and outside directors pursuant to stockholder approved stock option plans. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. Employee option awards generally vest over three years from the date of grant, and outside directors option awards generally vest over two years from the date of grant. All option awards generally have 10-year contractual terms. The Company attributes stock-based compensation cost to operations using the straight-line method over the applicable vesting period.
 
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share Based Payment”, using the statement’s modified prospective application method. Under this method, compensation cost is recognized for all share-based equity payments granted, modified or settled after January 1, 2006, as well as for any unvested equity awards that were granted prior thereto. Compensation cost for unvested awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 is recognized using the same estimate of the grant-date fair value and the same attribution method used to determine the pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation plan using the intrinsic value method allowed under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations.

Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company recorded $77,228 and $160,642 of stock-based compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. On January 1, 2006 the Company ceased recording the variable compensation charges on repriced options, as was required under APB No. 25. As of June 30, 2006 the unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to non-vested stock awards as of June 30, 2006 was $24,651. Such amount will be recognized in operations over a weighted average period of 2 years.

The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period commensurate with or longer than the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is the U.S. Treasury Strips rate on the date of grant. The expected life was calculated using the method outlined in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14.D.2, “Expected Terms,” as the Company’s historical experience does not provide a reasonable basis for the expected term of the option. Based on the lack of history to calculate a forfeiture rate, the Company has not adjusted the calculated value of the options for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Loss Per Share
The Company follows SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Under SFAS No. 128, basic earnings per share excludes the effect of any dilutive options, warrants or convertible securities and is computed by dividing the net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net earnings available to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents computed using the average market price for the period under the treasury stock method.

Capital Stock
The Company has authorized 93,750,000 shares of Class A common stock, 1,250,000 shares of Class B common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Class A and Class B common stock are substantially identical except that holders of Class A common stock have the right to cast one vote for each share held and the Class B shareholders have the right to cast five votes for each share held. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, there were no shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding. The preferred stock may be issued in series, and shares of each series will have such rights and preferences as are fixed by the Company’s Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, there were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Officers and directors of the Company invested $127,000 of the cash raised as part of the private placement on the same terms and conditions as the third party investors.
 
On June 30, 2006, 77,000 shares that were issued for prepaid services were forfeited and returned to the Company as the services were not rendered to the Company.

The redeemable warrants entitled the holder thereof to purchase at any time up to February 28, 2006 (which was extended to March 31, 2006) a share of Class A common stock at a price of sixty-five cents ($0.65) per share. From December 2005 through March 2006, redeemable warrants covering 511,961 shares were exercised, netting the Company $332,775 in cash, and 103,500 shares were exercised for consulting services to be rendered to the Company over a 12-month period, which will be expensed at the then fair value of such shares ratably over such period. In connection with the exercise of the redeemable warrants, the Company issued 615,461 warrants entitling the holder thereof to purchase from September 1, 2006 to February 28, 2009 a share of Class A common stock at a price of sixty-five cents ($0.65) per share. The new warrants will only become exercisable if the holder thereof does not sell any of the shares acquired by the holder in the 2004 private placement and upon exercise of the holder’s redeemable warrants. The fair value of the new warrants issued was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to be $462,651 and was recorded as a cost of raising the related capital. During March 2006, warrants for 14,615 shares were exercised, netting the Company $9,500 in cash.
 
The Company accounts for certain of the shares and warrants issued for prepaid services under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” (EITF 96-18). Accordingly, the Company has recognized approximately $80,517 and $0 of expense related to these shares and warrants for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $99,433 and $28,000 of expense related to these shares and warrants for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, in the accompanying statement of operations.
 
On September 15, 2005, we entered into a services agreement with Premier Funding Services LLC. In accordance with the services agreement, and as partial consideration for the services provided by the vendor, we agreed to issue 20,000 shares of Class A common stock and warrants to purchase 40,000 shares of Class A common stock upon execution of the agreement. The Company accounts for these shares under EITF 96-18. Accordingly, the Company has determined the fair value of the shares and warrants to be $42,458 and has recognized $21,229 of expense related to these shares and warrants for the six months ended June 30, 2006, included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.

The Company has a total of 103,500 warrants outstanding to non-employees, and at June 30, 2006, 69,000 of these warrants with an aggregate fair value of $74,258 related to future services. Under EITF 96-18, the Company is required to record the expense related to these warrants as the underlying services are performed. These warrants are subject to remeasurement; accordingly, the actual expense to be recognized may be materially different than the current fair value.
 
On June 2, 2006, the Company sold in a private placement to accredited investors 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and a like number of redeemable warrants for $1,000,000 in cash. The redeemable warrants entitle the holder thereof to purchase at any time up to June 30, 2011 a share of Class A common stock at a price of one dollar ($1.00) per share. The redeemable warrants may be redeemed by Symbollon at $0.01 per warrant in the event that the closing sales price of the Class A common stock over twenty successive trading days is equal to or greater than $5.00 and the average trading volume over that period is in excess of twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares per day, subject to the holder’s right to exercise. The fair value of the new warrants issued was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to be $1,570,039 and was recorded as a cost of raising the related capital.

In January 2001, certain officers of the Company entered into Promissory Notes and Pledge Agreements (the “Notes”) with the Company totaling $834,560 in exchange for 462,895 shares of Class A common stock acquired through the exercise of vested stock options. The Notes bore interest at a fixed rate of 5.61% and were due in full on December 31, 2005. The Notes were collateralized by the 462,895 shares of Class A common stock and the Company had full recourse to pursue collection in the event of default. The Company’s recourse was limited to the pledged stock in the event that the officer is no longer employed with the Company and if the then market value of the pledged stock is less than the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the officer’s Note.

The Company accounted for the Notes under FIN 44 “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation (an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25)” (FIN 44) and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-23 “Issues Related to the Accounting of Stock Compensation Under APB Opinion No. 25 and FASB Interpretation 44” as variable arrangements. Pursuant to these pronouncements, no compensation cost was recognized in 2005.
 
On December 30, 2005, the officers resigned from their employment with the Company in order to avail themselves of their contractual rights to limit the Company’s recourse to collect the Notes to the pledged stock. On December 30, 2005, the two officers returned their stock and the Notes were cancelled. The officers were subsequently rehired on January 3, 2006 under new employment agreements.
 
4. Stock Plans
The Company has adopted two stock plans: a stock option plan and a nonemployee directors’ stock option plan.
 
The stock option plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options and stock appreciation rights. The Company has reserved 3,200,000 shares for issuance under this plan.
 
In November 2003, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repricing of employee options, canceling 690,000 options with exercise prices ranging from $1.94 to $9.06 and issuing options to purchase 600,000 shares of common stock at $0.28 per share, which was above the market value on the date of the repricing. These options were subject to variable plan accounting, as defined by FIN 44. As prescribed by the provisions of FIN 44 the Company remeasured the intrinsic value of the repriced options, through the earlier of the date of exercise, cancellation or expiration, at each reporting date through the required adoption of SFAS 123 (R). During the three months ended June 30, 2005 the Company reversed $38,332 of previously recognized compensation expense to reflect the decrease in the intrinsic value of the options. As of June 30, 2005, the Company has recognized aggregate compensation expense of $555,417 related to the repriced options. No variable expense was recognized pursuant to FIN 44 in the six months ended June 30, 2006, as the Company now accounts for these options under SFAS 123 (R).

6. Licensing  Agreement
On April 12, 2005, Symbollon entered into an exclusive worldwide licensing and co-marketing agreement covering the use of IoGen for the treatment of cyclic pain and tenderness in humans with Bioaccelerate Holdings Inc. (“Bioaccelerate”). Under the terms of the agreement, Bioaccelerate is required to fund ongoing Phase III development of IoGen through its wholly owned subsidiary, Amilar Pharmaceuticals. Bioaccelerate has the primary responsibility for the commercialization of IoGen, and Symbollon will oversee the future clinical development efforts necessary to seek marketing approval for IoGen. The parties will share in any net profits upon commercialization.
 
Pursuant to the agreement with Bioaccelerate, Bioaccelerate is required to fund an escrow account to cover the cost of the clinical development of IoGen. As of June 30, 2006, Bioaccelerate had not funded the escrow account as required by the agreement. Symbollon has sent a notice of default to Bioaccelerate regarding its failure to establish and fund the escrow as required by the agreement. Unless Bioaccelerate cures the existing defaults, Symbollon may terminate the agreement at any time and receive back all rights to IoGen it licensed to Bioaccelerate in the agreement. (See Note 1).

On January 5, 2004, we entered into a services agreement with Barry Kaplan Associates. In accordance with the service agreement, and as partial consideration for the services provided by Barry Kaplan Associates, we issued stock options to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The options vested 25,000 on June 30, 2004 and 25,000 on December 31, 2004 and expired on March 31, 2005. On June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004, these options were exercised for no cost to the consultant because our average common stock closing prices for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004 were greater than $0.50 and $0.75 per share, respectively. The securities were issued pursuant to the exemption afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

The shares were issued pursuant to the exemption afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
 
On December 1, 2004, we entered into a services agreement with Dr. Bernard A. Eskin. In accordance with the service agreement, and as consideration for the services provided by Dr. Eskin, we agreed to issue 5,000 shares of Class A common stock upon execution, and on each of the first and second anniversaries of the agreement.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

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

(A) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(B) 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 together, represent a fundamental change in the information in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in 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 end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

(C) 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 of 1933, each 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.

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

II-5



Insofar as indemnification by the Registrant for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person relating to the securities being registered, the Registrant 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
