Biozone Pharmaceuticals. Inc.
(Formerly Known as International Surf Resorts, Inc.)
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – Business
Biozone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (formerly, International Surf Resorts, Inc.; the “Company”, “we”, “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 4, 2006 to operate as an internet-based provider of international surf resorts, camps and guided surf tours (the “Original Business”). On March 1, 2011, we changed our name from International Surf Resorts, Inc.to Biozone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. We anticipate discontinuing our Original Business through the sale of our 55% ownership in ISR de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V., a Mexican corporation in consideration for the return and cancellation of approximately 13,948,007 shares of the Company's common stock. Disclosures contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not reflective of such stock cancellation.
On May 16, 2011, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Aero Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Aero”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of that date. Aero manufactures markets and distributes a line of dermatological products under the trade name of Baker Cummins Dermatologicals (see Note 3).
On June 30, 2011, we acquired: (i) 100% of the outstanding common stock of BioZone Laboratories, Inc. (“BioZone Labs”) in exchange for 19,266,055 shares of our common stock; (ii) 100% of the outstanding membership interests of Equalan, LLC (“Equalan”) and Equachem, LLC (“Equachem”) in exchange for 1,027,523 and 385,321 shares of our common stock, respectively; and (iii) 45% of the outstanding membership interests of BetaZone, LLC (“BetaZone”) in exchange for 321,101 shares of our common stock. The acquired entities shared substantially common ownership prior to the foregoing acquisition. (We refer to BioZone Labs, Equalan, Equachem and BetaZone, collectively as the “BioZone Lab Group”).
BioZone Labs was incorporated under the laws of the State of California in 1991. Equalan was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of California on January 2, 2007. Equachem was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of California on March 12, 2007 under the name Chemdyn, LLC and changed its name to Equachem, LLC on July 25, 2007. BetaZone was formed as a Florida limited liability company on November 7, 2006.
The BioZone Lab Group has operated since inception as a developer, manufacturer, and marketer of over-the-counter drugs and preparations, cosmetics, and nutritional supplements on behalf of health care product marketing companies and national retailers. The Company has been developing our proprietary drug delivery technology (the “BioZone Technology”) as an enhancement for approved, generic prescription drugs that are limited due to poor stability or bioavailability or variable absorption.
The Company accounted for the acquisition of the BioZone Lab Group as a “reverse acquisition”. Accordingly, the Company is considered the legal acquirer and the BioZone Lab Group is considered the accounting acquirer. The current and future financial statements will be those of the BioZone Lab Group.
These consolidated financial statements are presented on the basis that we will continue as a going concern. The going concern concept contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our current balances of cash will not meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for the next twelve months. In addition, as of September 30, 2011, we have a shareholder deficiency of $177,712 and negative working capital of $1,740,163. Because we are not currently generating sufficient cash to fund our operations and we have debt that is in default, we may need to rely on external financing to meet future operating, debt repayment and capital requirements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the going concern uncertainty. We believe that actions presently being taken to revise the Company’s operating and financial requirements provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2011 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BioZone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned except for BetaZone, which is 45% owned which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. In addition, the Company consolidates the accounts of 580 Garcia Properties, LLC, (“580 Garcia”) which owns the land and building used by BioZone Labs and is owned by one of the former owners of the BioZone Lab Group. The Company is a guarantor of 580 Garcia’s mortgage loan payable on the property (see Note 7).
Use of Estimates.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include the collectability of accounts receivable and deferred taxes and related valuation allowances. Certain of our estimates, including evaluating the collectability of accounts receivable, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to our industry, and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on our estimates that could cause actual results to differ from our estimates. We re-evaluate all of our accounting estimates at least quarterly based on these conditions and record adjustments when necessary.
Cash and Cash Equivalents.
We consider all short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
We follow the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104 for revenue recognition and Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”. The Company operates as a contract manufacturer and produces finished goods according to customer specifications. The agreements with customers do not contain any rights of return other than for goods that fail to meet the specifications provided by the customer. The Company has not experienced any significant returns from customers and accordingly, in management’s opinion, no reserve for returns is provided. We record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the selling price to the customer is fixed or determinable and collectability of the revenue is reasonably assured.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable
We have a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We extend credit to our customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. We generally do not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain an allowance for potential bad debts if required.
We determine whether an allowance for doubtful accounts is required by evaluating specific accounts where information indicates the customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations. In these cases, we use assumptions and judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances, to record a specific allowance for those customers against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount expected to be collected. These specific allowances are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. The amounts calculated are analyzed to determine the total amount of the allowance. We may also record a general allowance as necessary.
Direct write-offs are taken in the period when we have exhausted our efforts to collect overdue and unpaid receivables or otherwise evaluate other circumstances that indicate that we should abandon such efforts. The Company has recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $156,212 as of September 30, 2011.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the weighted average cost method, and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose of the product.
Fair Value Measurements
We adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our short and long term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates taken together with other features such as concurrent issuances of warrants and/or embedded conversion options, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. We maintain our cash accounts at high quality financial institutions with balances, at times, in excess of federally insured limits. As of September 30, 2011, we had $685,402 of balances in excess of federally insured limits. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold our deposits are financially sound and therefore pose minimal credit risk.
Stock-Based Compensation
We recognize compensation expense for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718. For employee stock-based awards, we calculate the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes method for stock options and the quoted price of our common stock for unrestricted shares; the expense is recognized over the service period for awards expected to vest. For non-employee stock-based awards, we calculate the fair value of the award on the date of grant in the same manner as employee awards. However, the awards are revalued at the end of each reporting period and the pro rata compensation expense is adjusted accordingly until such time the nonemployee award is fully vested, at which time the total compensation recognized to date equals the fair value of the stock-based award as calculated on the measurement date, which is the date at which the award recipient’s performance is complete. The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from original estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized; repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets of business purchased. Goodwill is not being amortized but is evaluated for impairment on at least an annual basis.
Impairment of long lived assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For assets that are to be held and used, impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value.
Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.
NOTE 3 – Aero Acquisition
On May 16, 2011, we acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of Aero in exchange for a total of 8,331,396 shares of our common stock valued at the estimated value of Aero at the acquisition date. We are in the process of obtaining an independent appraisal of the acquisition price of the assets, which has been estimated at $2 million. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as follows:
On September 21, 2011, the Company issued 13,914 shares of common stock to Aero Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in consideration for the delay in filing the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, as required in the Asset Purchase Agreement between the Company and Aero Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
The above referenced securities were issued were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.

NOTE 5 – Convertible Notes Payable
The “March 2011 Notes”
On March 29, 2011, the Company sold 10% secured convertible promissory notes in the amount of $2,250,000, (the “March 2011 Notes”) and warrants (the “March Warrants”) to purchase securities of the Company in the Target Transaction Financing (as defined below), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement entered into on February 22, 2011 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement” and the “Private Placement”).
The March 2011 Notes, extended as described below (see Note 11), mature on the earlier of October 29, 2011 or the closing date of the Target Transaction Financing (such earlier date, the “Maturity Date”). The entire principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable in cash on the Maturity Date.
As of October 29, 2011, the Company is in default with respect to the March 2011 Notes due to the fact that the Company has not paid the amount due on maturity (see Note 11).
The principal and interest may not be prepaid except in connection with the consummation of the Target Transaction Financing, in which case the holder may elect either to (i) convert all of the principal and accrued and unpaid interest then outstanding into the securities offered in the Target Transaction Financing at a price per share or unit, as the case may be, equal to 80% of the price at which such securities are sold or (ii) require the Company to repay the principal amount then outstanding and any accrued and unpaid interest in cash.
As set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company intends to close a private placement of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), or other securities (the “PIPE Securities”) yielding gross proceeds to the Company of at least eight million Dollars ($8,000,000) (the “Target Transaction Financing,” and the price at which such PIPE Securities are sold is referred to as the “PIPE Share Price”); within one hundred twenty (120) days from the issuance date of the Note.
We recorded the liability for the March 2011 Notes at an amount equal to the full consideration received upon issuance, without considering the Warrant value because the determination of the number of warrants and the exercise price of the warrants is dependent on the closing date of, and the price of securities issued in the Target Transaction Financing, which has yet to take place.
The “September 2011 Note”
On September 22, 2011, the Company issued a 10% unsecured convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $500,000, due on March 22, 2012 (unless accelerated as described below) (the “September 2011 Note”) and a warrant (the “September Warrant”) to purchase certain securities of the Company in the Target Transaction Financing, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement entered into on that date (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). The September 2011 Note and Warrant were issued to an accredited investor in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 506 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
The September 2011, Note matures on the earlier of March 22, 2012 or the closing date of the Target Transaction Financing (such earlier date, the “Maturity Date”). The entire principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable in cash on the Maturity Date.
The principal and interest may not be prepaid except in connection with the consummation of the Target Transaction Financing, in which case the holder may elect either to convert all of the principal and accrued and unpaid interest then outstanding into the securities offered in the PIPE Offering at a price per share or unit, as the case may be, equal to 70% of the price at which such securities are sold or require the Company to repay the principal amount then outstanding and any accrued and unpaid interest in cash.
We recorded the liability for the September 2011 Note at an amount equal to the full consideration received upon issuance, without considering the Warrant value because the determination of the number of warrants and the exercise price of the warrants is dependent on the closing date of, and the price of securities issued in the Target Transaction Financing, which has yet to take place.
NOTE 6 – Notes Payable - Shareholder
This amount is due to our Executive Vice President for advances made to the Company, bears interest at a weighted average rate of approximately 10% and is due on demand. The Company is in dispute with the shareholder as to the balance due but has recorded the full amount claimed by the shareholder.

NOTE 8 - Warrants
On March 29, 2011 and September 22, 2011, the Company issued warrants to purchase securities of the Company in the Target Transaction Financing (Note 5). The Warrants are immediately exercisable and expire five years after the date of issue. Each Warrant has an initial exercise price of 120% of the price of the securities sold in the Target Transaction Financing (the “Financing Share Price”). The Warrant entitles the holder to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock and/or other securities, including units of securities, sold in the Target Transaction Financing equal to the Warrant Coverage (as defined herein) (a) multiplied by the principal amount of the Note (the “Purchase Price”) and (b) divided by the Financing Share Price. “Warrant Coverage” means (i) 50% if closed on or prior to 120 days, (ii) 75% if closed after 120 days but before 150 days and (iii) 100%, if closed after 150 days after the closing of the Private Placement. The Warrant is exercisable in cash or by way of a “cashless exercise” during any period that a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock and/or other securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, or an exemption from registration, is not available. The exercise price of the Warrant is subject to a “ratchet” anti-dilution adjustment for a period of one year from the closing of the Private Placement. This adjustment provides that, in the event that the Company issues certain securities at a price lower than the then applicable exercise price, the exercise price of the Warrant will be immediately reduced to equal the price at which the Company issued the securities.
We have not recorded any amounts in the financial statements for the Warrants because the determination of the number of warrants and the exercise price of the warrants is dependent on the closing date of, and the price of securities issued in the Target Transaction Financing, which has yet to take place.
NOTE 9 – Income Taxes
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the assessment, management has established a full valuation allowance against all of the deferred tax assets for every period because it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Employment Agreements
On June 30, 2011, the Company entered into three year executive employment agreements with three stockholders, Brian Keller, Christian Oertle and Daniel Fisher, to serve as our President, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President, respectively. The agreements with Messrs. Keller and Fisher provide for annual salaries of $200,000 each and the agreement with Mr. Oertle provides for an annual salary of $150,000. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, each of these stockholders is eligible to participate in the Company’s long term incentive compensation programs and is entitled to an annual bonus if the Company meets or exceeds criteria adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board, subject to certain claw back rights. The agreements provide for payments of six months’ severance in the event of early termination (other than for cause).
Leases
The Company is committed under operating leases for its various properties, which provide for annual rentals of approximately $372,000 through September 2014. Rental expense charged to operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $279,000.
NOTE 11 - Subsequent Events
Extension of March 2011 Notes
Effective October 28, 2011, the purchasers of the March 2011 Notes (the “Note Holders”) agreed to extend the maturity date of the Notes (the “Extension Agreement”) to October 29, 2011(the “New Maturity Date”) (see Note 5). As consideration for the agreement by the Note Holders to enter into the Extension Agreement, the Company (i) issued to the Note Holders an aggregate of 112,500 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share and (ii) paid to the Investors, an aggregate of $135,000 as additional interest for the period beginning on February 28, 2011 (the date the Note Holders placed the principal amount in escrow) and ending on March 28, 2011. The Company agreed to provide piggyback registration rights with respect to the 112,500 shares on the same terms and conditions provided for the registrable securities in the Registration Rights Agreement contained in the Private Placement.
The Company has agreed that if it fails to repay the March 2011 Notes on or before the New Maturity Date, then in addition to the interest due under the March 2011 Notes, the Company will pay an additional 2% (annualized) for each 30 day period all or any portion of the principal or accrued interest remain unpaid, subject to a maximum aggregate interest rate of 20% (the sum of the 10% interest rate plus 2% for each 30 day delay period), with such 2% being calculated on the full principal amount regardless of whether any portion thereof has been repaid by the Company and such full amount accruing as of the day following the New Maturity Date and then upon each 30 day anniversary of the New Maturity Date.
Issuance of common stock
On October 28, 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 112,500 shares of its common stock to the holders of the March 2011 Notes in consideration for the extension of the maturity date of such notes.
On November 3, 2011, the Company sold 455,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, for $1.00 per share pursuant to subscription agreements entered into on October 31, 2011 and November 1, 2011.

Overview
Biozone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (formerly, International Surf Resorts, Inc.) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 4, 2006 to operate as an internet-based provider of international surf resorts, camps and guided surf tours. The Company proposed to engage in the business of vacation real estate and rentals related to its surf business and it owns the website isurfresorts.com (the "Original Business"). During late February 2011, the Company began to explore alternatives to its original business plan. On February 22, 2011, the prior officers and directors resigned from their positions and the Company appointed a new President, Director, principal accounting officer and treasurer and began to pursue opportunities in medical and pharmaceutical technologies and products. On March 1, 2011, the Company changed its name to Biozone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. We anticipate discontinuing our Original Business through the sale of our 55% ownership in ISR de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V., a Mexican corporation in consideration for the return and cancellation of approximately 13,948,001 shares of the Company's common stock.
Since March 2011, the Company has been engaged primarily in seeking opportunities related to its intention to engage in medical and pharmaceutical businesses. On May 16, 2011, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Aero Pharmaceuticals, Inc. pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of that date. Aero manufactures markets and distributes a line of dermatological products under the trade name of Baker Cummins Dermatologicals.
On June 30, 2011, we acquired the Biozone Labs Group which operates as a developer, manufacturer, and marketer of over-the-counter drugs and preparations, cosmetics, and nutritional supplements on behalf of health care product marketing companies and national retailers. In addition, we have been developing our proprietary drug delivery technology as an enhancement for approved, generic prescription drugs that are limited due to poor stability or bioavailability or variable absorption.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010:
Revenues. Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $3,930,503 and $4,515,222 respectively. The decrease in revenue of $584,719 or 12.9% primarily was attributable to delays in customer orders from decreased end-user demand.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit. Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $2,144,952 and $2,400,005, respectively, resulting in gross profit of $1,785,551 and $2,115,217, respectively. The gross profit percentage for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was 45% and 47%, respectively. The decrease in gross profit of $329,666 was primarily attributable to delays in customer orders from decreased end-user demand, while the resulting decrease in gross profit percentage primarily is attributable to increased raw material costs.
Operating Expenses. We had total operating expenses of $4,001,843 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $1,826,952 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in operating expenses of $2,174,891 primarily is attributable to a non-cash payment in stock for strategic consulting services as well as an increase of amortization of deferred financing cost as well as small increases in various other expenses partially offset by a decrease in Research and Development expenses and commissions.
Interest Expense. We incurred interest and other expense of $283,411 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $123,415 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in interest and other expense of $159,996 is primarily the result from an increase in total debt outstanding at an increased average interest rate.
Net Loss / Income. As a result of the foregoing, we realized a net loss of $2,499,903 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to net income of $256,850 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, an increase in net loss of $2,756,553.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010:
Revenues. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $8,937,818 and $11,133,223, respectively. The decrease in revenue of $2,195,405 or 19.7% is primarily was attributable to delays in customer orders from decreased end-user demand.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit. Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $4,668,316 and $5,555,191, respectively, resulting in gross profit of $4,269,502 and $5,578,032, respectively. The gross profit percentage for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was 48% and 50%, respectively. The decrease in gross profit of $1,308,530 was primarily attributable to delays in customer orders from decreased end-user demand, while the resulting decrease in gross profit percentage primarily is attributable to increase in raw material costs.
Operating Expenses. We had total operating expenses of $7,375,208 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $4,859,974 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in operating expenses of $2,515,234 primarily is attributable to a non-cash payment in stock for strategic consulting services as well as an increase in amortization of deferred financing fees as well as small increases in various other expenses partially offset by a small decrease in Research and Development expenses and commissions.
Interest Expense. We incurred interest and other expense of $505,606 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $323,142 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in interest and other expense of $182,464 is primarily the result of an increase in total debt outstanding at an increased average interest rate.
Net Loss / Income. As a result of the foregoing, we realized a net loss of $3,611,312 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to net income of $395,612 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase in net loss of $4,006,924.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2011, our current assets were $6,055,880, as compared to $4,195,769 at December 31, 2010. As of September 30, 2011, our current liabilities were $7,796,043, as compared to $5,034,880 at December 31, 2010. Operating activities used net cash of $40,986 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to using net cash of $386,296 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, investing activities provided net cash of $428,152, comprised primarily of cash acquired in connection with the Aero acquisition. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, investing activities used net cash of $352,438.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash of $143,084 was provided by financing activities, consisting of proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes of $2,750,000, offset by repayment of notes payable to banks and shareholders of $2,456,552, and payment of deferred financing fees of $150,364, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $282,535 during the comparable nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, which consisted of net advances from a shareholder of $367,640, offset by repayments of existing debt of $94,105.
Our net income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively was a loss of $3,611,312 and net income of $395,612, respectively. We anticipate that we will continue to generate losses from operations for the foreseeable future as we invest in research and development activities in furtherance of our business plan of advancing our drug delivery technology. As of September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $781,725 and negative working capital of $1,740,163.
As of October 29, 2011 the Company is in default with respect to the Convertible Promissory Notes with an aggregate principal balance of $2,250,000 due to the fact that the Company has not paid the amount due on maturity.
Our current balances of cash will not meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for the next twelve months. Because we are not currently generating sufficient cash to fund our operations and we have debt that is in default, we may need to rely on external financing to meet future operating, debt repayment and capital requirements. Any projections of future cash needs and cash flows are subject to substantial uncertainty. We can make no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Further, if we issue equity securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of existing holders of common stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that could restrict our operations or finances. If we cannot raise funds, when needed, on acceptable terms, we may not be able to continue our operations, grow market share, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, all of which could negatively impact our business, operating results, and financial condition. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We believe that actions presently being taken to revise the Company’s operating and financial requirements provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
Off –Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2011, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements other than operating leases.
Contractual Obligations
On June 30, 2011, the Company entered into three year executive employment agreements with three stockholders, Brian Keller, Christian Oertle and Daniel Fisher, to serve as our President, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President, respectively. The agreements with Messrs. Keller and Fisher provide for annual salaries of $200,000 each and the agreement with Mr. Oertle that provides for an annual salary of $150,000. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, each of these executives is eligible to participate in the Company’s long term incentive compensation programs and is entitled to an annual bonus if the Company meets or exceeds criteria adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board, subject to certain claw back rights. The agreements provide for payments of six months’ severance in the event of early termination (other than for cause).

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2011. Based upon that evaluation and the identification of the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, the Chief Executive Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
The reason for the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was the result of the lack of segregation of duties and responsibilities with respect to our cash control over the disbursements related thereto. The lack of segregation of duties resulted from our limited accounting staff.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
