Item 1. Business.

Overview – Primary Business

BioZone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“BioZone Pharma”, the “Company” or “we”), through its wholly owned subsidiary, BioZone Laboratories, Inc. (“BioZone Labs”), primarily is engaged in the business of developing and manufacturing Over the Counter (“OTC”) drug products and cosmetic and beauty products on behalf of third parties. In addition, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Equalan LLC (“Equalan”) and Baker Cummins Corp. (“Baker Cummins”) the Company markets two lines of proprietary skin care products, under the brand names of Glyderm® and Baker Cummins®, respectively. The Company’s other activities include the sale by its wholly owned subsidiary, Equachem LLC (“Equachem”) of raw materials used in OTC drugs and cosmetic products, and the research and development of certain proprietary drug delivery technology, designed to increase the benefit of various generic pharmaceutical products by improving stability, bioavailability or absorption. These activities, including in particular, the research and development of our proprietary drug delivery technology (“DDT”), are not material to the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operation. Our DDT research and development activities are in an early stage, having commenced during the year ended December 31, 2011, and have yet to generate a delivery agent that has been tested in combination with any drug in animals or humans under testing standards required by the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for submission for approval. More than 95% of the Company’s annual revenue for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and investment in property plant and equipment is related to the Company’s OTC drug product and cosmetic and beauty product manufacturing business. The Company generated $17.2 million and $12.6 million of sales during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, of which $16.2 million or 94% and $11.6 million or 92%, respectively, were generated by BioZone Labs from its third party contract manufacturing business. The Company operates under a single segment.

On February 22, 2013 and March 7, 2013, we liquidated Equachem and Equalan, respectively, and transferred their activities to BioZone Labs in an effort to reduce selling and administrative expenses.

BioZone Labs is registered with the FDA as a drug manufacturer. We manufacture OTC drug and cosmetic products in a 20,000 s.f., certified good manufacturing practice (“cGMP”) facility located at 580 Garcia Avenue, Pittsburg, CA. We fill, package and store these products at a 60,000 sq. ft. packaging and warehouse facility located at 701 Willow Pass Road, Pittsburg, CA. We maintain a full range of high to moderate speed filling and packaging equipment, capable of filling jars, tubes, and bottles with creams, lotions, oral solutions and serums. We employ scientists and chemists for product development, processing and testing, and quality control & assurance professionals for monitoring compliance with government regulations and adherence to customer specifications. Primarily, our customers are United States regional and national distributors and retailers of healthcare and beauty products.

The Company owns a 45% interest in BetaZone Laboratories LLC (“BetaZone”) which is engaged in the development, sale and license of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products in Latin America. Equachem licenses the Company’s proprietary QuSomeTM technology to BetaZone and other pharmaceutical manufacturers in exchange for sales based royalties. BetaZone has yet to pay any material royalties to Equachem as it has yet to generate any significant sales or license payments from products using our licensed technology. Royalties from other pharmaceutical manufacturers are approximately $100,000 per year and do not constitute a material component of our business.

BioZone Pharma was incorporated as a Nevada corporation on December 4, 2006 under the name International Surf Resorts Inc. Its name was changed to BioZone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. on March 1, 2011. BioZone Labs was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on June 2, 1992. 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. Its name was changed to Equachem, LLC on July 25, 2007. BetaZone was formed as a Florida limited liability company on November 7, 2006. Baker Cummins Corp. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 31, 2011.

Our principal executive offices are located at 550 Sylvan Avenue, Suite 101, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. Our telephone number is (201) 608-5101. BioZone Labs’ principal office is located at 580 Garcia Avenue, Pittsburg. California 94565. Its telephone number is (925) 723-1000.

We have no material major customers for these lines of products. Total Glyderm® and Baker Cummins product sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 were approximately $886,000.

Other Business Activities – Raw Material Sales and Technology Licensing

Equachem sells raw materials containing our proprietary delivery agents that we refer to as QuSomes® to United States manufacturers of OTC drugs and cosmetics. Also, it licenses the right to use QuSomes® to certain OTC manufacturers and to BetaZone. Total Equachem sales and royalty revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $63,000.

On February 24, 2012, BioZone Pharma, BioZone Labs, and Equachem (the “BZL Licensors”) and OPKO Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“OPKO”) entered into a Limited License Agreement pursuant to which OPKO acquired an exclusive license to the QuoSomes and EquaSomes TM drug delivery technology for use in ophthalmological indications and a non-exclusive license to such technology for all other indications. Pursuant to the Limited License Agreement, the Company shall pay 5% of Net Sales (as defined in the Limited License Agreement) of the Covered Products (as defined in the Limited License Agreement) to the BZL Licensors. The royalty term shall terminate on a country-by-country basis on the first date that such Covered Product ceases to be covered by a Valid Claim (as defined in the Limited License Agreement) in a country. Unless otherwise terminated, the Limited License Agreement shall remain in effect until the expiration of the last-to-expire patent within the BZL Patents (as defined in the Limited License Agreement). The BZL Licensors may terminate the license granted under the Limited License Agreement for cause upon written notice to OPKO and OPKO may terminate any license granted to it by providing 90 days written notice to the BZL Licensors.

Research and Development

In the mid-1990s, BioZone Labs licensed a proprietary, patented, phospho lipid delivery technology for use in its contract manufacturing business. Subsequently BioZone Labs modified the lipid to enhance final product stability, ingredient penetration, ease of manufacture process, and reduction in manufacturing and raw material costs. BioZone Labs obtained three U.S. patents covering the composition of matter of the enhanced lipid and method of manufacturing the resulting lipid vesicle. BioZone Labs modified the lipid through removal of phosphate and PEGylation, which is the process of covalent attachment of polyethylene glycol polymer chains to another molecule, normally a drug or therapeutic protein.

We refer to the pegylated lipid (i.e., the lipid modified with the PEGylation process described above) used in dermatological products as QuSomes. Our Glyderm Specialty Product, Intense C Serum PM – 7.5% L-Ascorbic Acid, is formulated with QuSomes. We refer to the pegylated lipid used in liquid oral OTC products as LiquaVail; and the pegylated lipid used in gelatin capsules as HyperSorb.

Recently, we developed a pegylated lipid, which we refer to as EquaSomes®, for use in combination with drugs administered by injection or infusion. We have yet to perform any human clinical studies with respect to any product candidate. In March 2011, we established a research and small scale lipid manufacturing facility, located in Princeton, New Jersey, to advance our efforts to formulate certain generic drug products with a combination of an active pharmaceutical ingredient and EquaSomes. In September 2012, we terminated research and development activities at this location, including personnel connected with such efforts and our former consultant. Dr. Nian Wu, a former consultant to the Company, agreed to use his best efforts to assume the lease of the facility pursuant to the terms of his Separation Agreement. Total research and development costs for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $743,091 and $423,183, respectively.

Customers and Marketing

BioZone Labs sells products to more than fifty customers through two sales professionals who market development, formulation and manufacturing services to potential customers. During the year ended December 31, 2012, four customers accounted for approximately 28%, 21%, 7% and 5% of the Company’s sales. Currently, our two largest customers are Matrix Initiatives and Savvier LLP. If any of these two customers discontinues or substantially reduces its purchases from us, it may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. We believe that we have good relationships with our customers.

Generally, we satisfy customer orders on an individual purchase order basis and do not enter into manufacturing agreements. We have a supply agreement with Matrixx Initiatives, which provides, among other things, that we will be the exclusive manufacturer of the products described in the agreement for a specified term; the pricing for our manufacturing services, which is subject to change during the term, and provides for payment and allowances. The agreement has a three year term and provides for annual renewals. The agreement does not require the customer to purchase any specific volumes of our products.

On December 18, 2012, Matrixx Initiatives initiated a voluntary recall of one lot of Zicam® Extreme Congestion Relief nasal gel that we manufactured on their behalf (the “Product Recall”). Matrixx took this step after we informed Matrixx that we found a small amount of Burkholderia cepacia in a single sample of the product taken from the affected lot. Burkholderia cepacia poses little medical risk to healthy individuals. However, Burkholderia cepacia in a nasal spray could cause upper airway colonization and secondarily lead to respiratory infections in individuals with a compromised immune system or those with chronic lung conditions, such as cystic fibrosis. The organism is resistant to many antibiotics and may be difficult to eradicate in this sensitive population if an infection occurs. To our knowledge, Matrixx has not received any reports of illness.

On January 3, 2013, Matrixx sent BioZone Labs a Notice of Default under the Supply Agreement dated May 8, 2009 by and between BioZone and Zicam, LLC to formally notify BioZone Labs that Matrixx is handling the Product Recall and will require BioZone Labs to reimburse Matrixx for all costs and expenses related to the Product Recall. Preliminary estimates of the damages related to the Product Recall range from $1 million to $3 million.

Manufacturing

The primary raw materials used in making products for our contract manufacturing customers either are supplied by our customers or are readily available in large quantities from multiple sources. Similarly, the primary raw materials used in making our proprietary brand products are readily available in large quantities from multiple sources. We believe that our manufacturing facilities are cGMP compliant.

Growth Strategy

Our growth strategy for our contract manufacturing business is to increase sales by establishing a dedicated sales team with industry experience who will leverage our expertise in product development and formulation to attract new contract manufacturing customers. Our growth strategy for our proprietary brand business is to increase our promotional efforts through direct mail, internet and participation at trade shows.

Competition

The market for contract manufacturing services is highly competitive and price sensitive and gross margins are low. Our direct competition consists of numerous contract manufacturers, such as Perrigo Company ( Nasdaq : PRGO), many of which have greater financial and other resources than we do. If one or more other OTC contract manufacturers significantly reduce their prices in an effort to gain market share, our gross revenue, profitability or market position could be adversely affected.

Government Regulation

The manufacturing, processing, formulation, packaging, labeling, testing, storing, distributing, advertising and sale of our products are subject to regulation by one or more U.S. agencies, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”), Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), as well as several foreign, state and local agencies in localities in which our products are sold. In addition, we manufacture and market certain of our products in accordance with standards set by organizations, such as the United States Pharmacopeial Convention, Inc. (“USP”). We believe that our policies, operations and products comply in all material respects with existing regulations.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration

The FDA has jurisdiction over our OTC drug products and dietary supplements. The FDA’s jurisdiction extends to the manufacturing, testing, labeling, packaging, storage and distribution of these products.

In general, OTC medicines are marketed under regulations referred to as “OTC monographs”, which have been established through the FDA’s OTC Review procedures. Under the OTC monograph system, selected OTC drugs are generally recognized as safe and effective and do not require the submission and approval of a New Drug Application (“NDA”) or an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) prior to marketing. The OTC monograph specifies allowable combinations of ingredients and dosage levels, permitted indications, and required warnings and precautions. Drug products marketed under the OTC monograph system must conform to specific quality and labeling requirements.

The OTC monograph regulations related to the OTC products that we manufacture may change from time to time, requiring formulation, packaging or labeling changes for certain products. We cannot predict whether new legislation regulating our activities will be enacted or what effect any legislation would have on our business.

All facilities where OTC drugs are manufactured, tested, packaged, stored or distributed must comply with FDA cGMPs. All of our OTC drug products are manufactured, tested, packaged, stored and distributed according to cGMP regulations. The FDA performs periodic audits to ensure that our facilities remain in compliance with appropriate regulations. The failure of our facility to be in compliance may lead to regulatory action against us that could result in the suspension of production or distribution of our products, product seizures, loss of certain licenses or other governmental penalties, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operating results. In addition, new legislation regulating our activities could be enacted with a negative impact on our business.

In January and November 2011, the FDA performed two separate GMP surveillance inspections of BioZone Labs' manufacturing facility and warehouse located at 580 Garcia Avenue, Pittsburg, CA. to audit our compliance against 21CFR Part 210 and Part 211, Good Manufacturing Practices with respect to our OTC drug product manufacturing procedures. Both inspections were routine GMP surveillance audits and were not triggered by any specific event, nor were they related to a specific product. At the conclusion of each audit, the FDA inspectors issued Form 483 Notice of Observations. The FDA’s observations related to maintenance of data derived from tests necessary to assure compliance with established specifications, deviations from test procedures, standards for rejecting drug products failing to meet established specifications, maintenance of electronic records, accessibility of written records, preparation of GLP documentation concurrent with performance, process validation and warehouse controls. We provided adequate and timely responses to the FDA findings and provided commitments and timelines for the remediation of the conditions cited by the FDA. The FDA classified the inspections as VAI, Voluntary Action Indicated, and no Warning Letters were issued, which demonstrates the adequacy of our responses.

Consumer Product Safety Commission

The packaging of certain our products is subject to regulation under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (“PPPA”), pursuant to which the CPSC has authority to require dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals to be packaged in child-resistant packaging to help reduce the incidence of accidental poisonings. The CPSC has published regulations requiring iron-containing dietary supplements and numerous pharmaceuticals to have child resistant packaging, and has established rules for testing the effectiveness of child-resistant packaging and for ensuring senior adult effectiveness.

The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 amended the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) to require that the manufacturer of any product that is subject to any CPSC rule, ban, standard or regulation certify that the product complies with such requirements based on a reasonable testing program. This certification applies to pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements that require child-resistant packaging under the PPPA. We rely on the manufacturer of our packaging supplies for compliance with such requirements.

Federal Trade Commission

The FTC exercises primary jurisdiction over the advertising and other promotional practices of marketers of OTC pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements and often works with the FDA regarding these practices. The FTC considers whether a product’s claims are substantiated, truthful and not misleading. The FTC is also responsible for reviewing mergers between and acquisitions of pharmaceutical companies exceeding specified thresholds and investigating certain business practices relevant to the healthcare industry. The FTC could challenge these business practices in administrative or judicial proceedings. Although we do not market or advertise any OTC pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements, we are responsible for the accuracy of the claims made on the labels of products that we manufacture.

State Regulation

We are subject to state laws that regulate foods and drugs under laws that generally parallel federal statutes. Also, we are subject to state consumer health and safety regulations. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could have a significant negative impact on our business.

United States Pharmacopeial Convention

The USP is a non-governmental, standard-setting organization. By reference, the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act incorporates the USP quality and testing standards and monographs as the standards that must be met for the listed drugs, unless compliance with those standards is specifically disclaimed on the product’s labeling. USP standards exist for most Rx and OTC pharmaceuticals and many nutritional supplements. The FDA typically requires USP compliance as part of cGMP compliance.

Product Liability

We may be subject to product liability claims by consumers of our products. We maintain product liability insurance policies which provide coverage in the amount $5 million per occurrence and $5 million in the aggregate. A product liability claim, if successful and in excess of our insurance coverage, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Seasonality

Many of our products include cough/cold remedies, which are often sold in the winter months. Accordingly, our business is cyclical. Approximately two thirds of our revenue is generated in the second half of the calendar year.

Employees

We currently employ 66 full time and 35 seasonal employees at our Pittsburg, California facilities, two employees in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey and one employee in Miami, Florida. These employees perform various, manufacturing, sales, marketing, research and development, and administration functions. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.

In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors in our common stock could lose all or part of their investment.

Risks related to our Company

We have not had profitable operations in recent periods, and our financial losses may continue in the future.

We have recognized net losses for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and expect to incur a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013. We are reviewing our manufacturing cost structure to identify inefficiencies and opportunities for reductions and our sales programs to identify opportunities for increasing sales volume. Although we anticipate that these efforts will reduce or eliminate ongoing losses and allow us to continue manufacturing operations for the foreseeable future, there can be no assurance that our cost reduction and increased sales efforts will prove successful.

We have negative working capital.

As of December 31, 2012, we had negative working capital of $5,255,220, which may impact our ability to raise needed capital. Our failure to raise capital when needed would adversely affect our growth opportunities and investment in capital expenditures.

Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion which includes a statement describing a substantial doubt whether we will continue as a going concern, which may have a detrimental effect on our ability to obtain additional financing.

The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, the attainment of profitable operations and the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity or debt financing. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the audit report prepared by our independent registered public accounting firm relating to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 includes an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Our auditor’s going concern opinion may have a detrimental effect on our ability to obtain additional funding.

Our business will require additional capital for continued growth, and our growth may be slowed if we do not have sufficient capital.

The continued growth and operation of our business will require additional funding for working capital. We may be unable to secure such funding when needed in adequate amounts or on acceptable terms, if at all. To execute our business strategy, we may issue additional equity securities in public or private offerings, potentially at a price lower than the market price at the time of such issuance. The issuances of additional securities in public and private offerings will dilute our current investors’ interest in the Company. Similarly, we may seek debt financing and may be forced to incur significant interest expense. The issuance of debt securities may provide such holders with rights superior to existing shareholders. If we cannot secure sufficient funding, we will be forced to forego strategic opportunities or delay, scale back or eliminate operations, acquisitions, and other investments.

Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the condition of the economy and capital markets, both generally and specifically in our industry, and the fact that we are not profitable, which could impact the availability or cost of future financings. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, even to the extent that we reduce our operations accordingly, we may be required to cease operations. As of the date of this report, we have not approached any new sources for additional funding and have not entered into negotiations for a transaction, other than those transactions that have already been disclosed in our filings with the SEC.

Risks related to our industry

We operate in a highly regulated industry. An inability to meet current or future regulatory requirements in the United States or foreign jurisdictions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and operating results.

All facilities where Rx and OTC drugs are manufactured, tested, packaged, stored or distributed must comply with the FDA’s Current Good Manufacturing Processes (“cGMPs”). All of our drug products are manufactured, tested, packaged, stored and distributed according to cGMP regulations. The FDA performs periodic audits to ensure that our facilities remain in compliance with all appropriate regulations. Typically, after the FDA completes its inspection, it may or may not issue the Company a report on Form 483, Notice of Observations., containing the FDA’s observations of possible violations of cGMP. These violations can range from minor to severe in nature. The degree of severity of the violation is generally determined by the time necessary to remediate the cGMP violation, and any adverse consequences for the consumer of our drug products. If the deficiency observations are determined to be severe, the FDA may elect to issue a Warning Letter to us. FDA guidelines specify that a warning letter be issued only for violations of “regulatory significance” for which the failure to adequately and promptly achieve correction may be expected to result in further enforcement action. In addition to making its concerns public, the FDA could impose sanctions including, among others, fines, product recalls, total or partial suspension of production and/or distribution, suspension of the FDA’s review of product applications, injunctions and civil or criminal prosecution. These enforcement actions, if imposed, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. Under certain circumstances, the FDA also has the authority to revoke previously granted drug approvals. In January and November 2011, the FDA performed two separate GMP surveillance inspections of BioZone Labs to audit our compliance against 21CFR Part 210 and Part 211, Good Manufacturing Practices. Both inspections were routine GMP surveillance audits and were not triggered by any specific event, nor were they related to a specific product. At the conclusion of each audit, the FDA inspectors issued Form 483 Notice of Observations. We provided adequate and timely responses to the FDA findings and provided commitments and timelines for the remediation of the conditions cited by the FDA. The FDA classified the inspections as VAI, Voluntary Action Indicated, and no Warning Letters were issued, which demonstrates the adequacy of our responses. As of the date hereof, we have not received any additional correspondence from the FDA regarding these two inspections. We believe that the remedial actions we are taking adequately respond to the FDA’s observations on Form 483. However, the FDA may conclude that our actions are insufficient to meet regulatory standards. If compliance is deemed deficient in any significant way, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. See “Government Regulation” in Item 1 for further discussion concerning Form 483 received by the Company.

In addition to the FDA, several U.S. agencies regulate the manufacturing, processing, formulation, packaging, labeling, testing, storing, distribution, advertising and sale of our products. Various state and local agencies also regulate these activities. Should any of our third party pharmaceutical ingredient suppliers fail to adequately conform or comply with manufacturing, quality and testing guidelines and regulations, we could experience a significant adverse impact on our operating results.

Significant increases in the cost of raw materials used in our contract manufacturing business could adversely impact our profit margins and operating results.

Affordable high quality raw materials and packaging components are essential to our business due to the nature of the products we manufacture. Our contract manufacturing customers either supply us with the raw materials and packaging components necessary to manufacture their finished products or reimburse us for the cost of such materials and components. Moreover, the raw materials and packaging components that we use are generally available from multiple suppliers and we have not experienced any problems with contaminated raw materials that would impact our business. However, a rapid increase in cost of raw materials from various factors, such as inflationary forces or scarcity, could have a material impact on our financial results if we are unable to pass on these increased costs to our customers.

If we fail to obtain, apply for, adequately prosecute to issuance, maintain, protect or enforce patents for our inventions and products, the value of our intellectual property rights and our ability to license, make, use or sell our products would materially diminish or could be eliminated entirely.

Our competitive position and future revenues, especially with regard to our strategy to leverage the BioZone Technology to increase sales, will depend in part on our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection for our inventions and products and for methods, processes and other technologies, as well as our ability to preserve our trade secrets, prevent third parties from infringing on our proprietary rights or invalidating our patents and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. The risks include the following:

	·	Some of our issued patents or any patents that are issued to us in the future may be determined to be invalid and/or unenforceable, or may offer inadequate protection against competitive products;

	·	If we have to defend the validity of our patents or any future patents or protect against third party infringements, the costs of such defense are likely to be substantial and we may not achieve a successful outcome;

	·	Others may obtain patents claiming aspects similar to those covered by our patents and patent applications, which could enable them to make and sell products similar to ours; and

We may be estopped from claiming that one or more of our patents is infringed due to amendments to the claims and/or specification, or as a result of arguments that were made during prosecution of such patents in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or by virtue of certain language in the patent application. The estoppel may result in claim limitation and/or surrender of certain subject matter to the public domain or the ability of competitors to design around our claims and/or avoid infringement of our patents. If our patents or those patents for which we have license rights become involved in litigation, a court could revoke the patents or limit the scope of coverage to which they are entitled.

If we fail to obtain and maintain adequate patent protection and trade secret protection for our products, proprietary technologies and their uses, we could lose any competitive advantage and the competition we face could increase, thereby reducing our potential revenues and adversely affecting our ability to attain or maintain profitability.

A dispute concerning the infringement or misappropriation of our proprietary rights or the proprietary rights of others could be time consuming and costly and an unfavorable outcome could harm our business.

There is significant litigation in the biotechnology field regarding patents and other intellectual property rights. We may be exposed to future litigation by third parties based on claims that our products, technologies or activities infringe the intellectual property rights of others. Although we try to avoid infringement, and as of the date hereof, there are no claims against us alleging infringement, there is the risk that we will use a patented technology owned or licensed by another person or entity and/or be sued for infringement of a patent owned by a third party. Under current United States law, patent applications are confidential for 18 months following their priority filing date and may remain confidential beyond 18 months if no foreign counterparts are applied for in jurisdictions that publish patent applications. There are many patents relating to the use of lipids and liposomes. If our products or methods are found to infringe any patents, we may have to pay significant damages and royalties to the patent holder or be prevented from making, using, selling, and offering for sale or importing such products or from practicing methods that employ such products.

In addition, we may need to resort to litigation to enforce our patents issued to us, protect our trade secrets or determine the scope and validity of third-party proprietary rights. Such litigation could be expensive and there is no assurance that we would be successful. From time to time, we may hire scientific personnel formerly employed by other companies involved in one or more fields similar to the fields in which we are working. Either these individuals or we may be subject to allegations of trade secret misappropriation or similar claims as a result of their prior affiliations. If we become involved in litigation, it could consume a substantial portion of our managerial and financial resources, regardless of whether we win or lose. As a result, we could be prevented from commercializing current or future products or methods.

Confidentiality agreements with employees and others may not adequately prevent disclosure of our trade secrets and other proprietary information and may not adequately protect our intellectual property.

Our success also depends upon the skills, knowledge and experience of our scientific and technical personnel, our consultants and advisors and contractors. We enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators, sponsored researchers and other advisors. These agreements generally require that the receiving party keep confidential and not disclose to third parties all confidential information developed by the receiving party or made known to the receiving party by us during the course of the receiving party’s relationship with us. These agreements also generally provide that inventions conceived by the receiving party in the course of rendering services to us will be our exclusive property. However, these agreements may be breached and may not effectively assign intellectual property rights to us. Our trade secrets also could be independently discovered by competitors, in which case we would not be able to prevent use of such trade secrets by our competitors. The enforcement of a claim alleging that a party illegally obtained and was using our trade secrets could be difficult, expensive and time consuming and the outcome would be unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States may be less willing to protect trade secrets. The failure to obtain or maintain meaningful trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive position.

We face significant competition.

The contract manufacturing business is highly competitive and price sensitive. We face competition from multiple competitors, some of whom are larger and more financially secure than we. They may reduce prices to an unacceptably low level for us in order to increase sales. Therefore, we can make no assurance that we will grow our contract manufacturing business or maintain our current level of sales in the future.

Our proprietary skin care products compete against other similar products marketed by companies much larger than we and who spend much more than us on consumer advertising. The skin care product business is highly promotion sensitive and we have a limited advertising budget. Therefore, we can make no assurance that we will grow sales of our proprietary skin care brands or maintain our current level of sales in the future.

Risks related to management

We rely on key executive officers and their knowledge of our business and technical expertise would be difficult to replace.

We are highly dependent on Elliot Maza, our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, Dr. Brian Keller, our President and Chief Scientific Officer, and Christian Oertle, our Chief Strategy Officer. We do not have “key person” life insurance. The loss of Mr. Maza, Dr. Keller or Mr. Oertle may have an adverse effect on our business. We have entered into three year employment contracts with Dr. Keller and Mr. Oertle. Each of the employment agreements may be terminated by the Company at will, subject to an obligation to pay severance for six months at the then applicable monthly base salary.

Elliot Maza, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, devotes a portion of his business time to another enterprise.

Elliot Maza, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, does not work for us exclusively as he is also the Consulting Chief Financial Officer of Intellect Neurosciences, Inc., a biotechnology company focused on the development of therapeutics for Alzheimer’s disease. We do not consider Intellect Neurosciences, Inc. to be a competitor of the Company. Mr. Maza devotes approximately 7 hours per week to Intellect Neurosciences, Inc. matters.

Our officers and directors hold a substantial number of shares of our common stock.

Our officers and, directors and their affiliates own or control an aggregate of 10,639,467 shares of the Company’s common stock, which represents approximately 16.9% of our issued and outstanding common stock as of March 29, 2013. Therefore, our officers and directors could exert substantial influence over election of our directors and our operations. Moreover, authorization to modify our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, requires only majority stockholder consent. This concentration of ownership could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control. Additionally, potential conflicts of interest may arise between our officers and directors and our shareholders and our officers and directors may vote their shares in a way that our other shareholders do not approve.

Our obligations to indemnify our directors and officers may pose substantial risks to our financial condition.

We have obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance insuring our directors and officers against liability for acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers, subject to certain exclusions. Such insurance also insures us against losses which we may incur in indemnifying our officers and directors. In addition, we may enter into indemnification agreements with key officers and directors and such persons shall also have indemnification rights under applicable laws, and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. Our obligations to indemnify our directors and officers may pose substantial risks to our financial condition, as we may not be able to maintain our insurance or, even if we are able to maintain our insurance, claims in excess of our insurance coverage could materially deplete our assets.

Risks related to our common stock

Shares of our stock suffer from low trading volume and wide fluctuations in market price.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board trading system under the symbol BZNE. Currently, an investment in our common stock is illiquid and subject to significant market volatility. This illiquidity and volatility may be caused by a variety of factors including low trading volume and market conditions.

Stockholders may experience wide fluctuations in the market price of our securities. These fluctuations may prevent a stockholder from obtaining a market price equal to the purchase price such stockholder paid when the stockholder attempts to sell our securities in the open market. In these situations, the stockholder may be required either to sell our securities at a loss or hold our securities for a longer period of time than planned.

Also, the inactive market for our common stock may impair our ability to raise capital, acquire other companies in exchange for stock, or recruit and retain managers with equity-based incentive plans. There has been limited trading in our common stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market in our common stock will either develop or be maintained. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations may cause short sellers to periodically enter the market in the belief that we will have poor results in the future. We cannot predict the actions of market participants and can offer no assurances that the market for our common stock will be stable or appreciate over time.

In addition, the value of our common stock could be affected by changes in the market valuations of other similarly situated companies serving similar markets; announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, collaborations, joint ventures or capital commitments; adoption of new accounting standards affecting our industry; additions or departures of key personnel; introduction of new products or services by us or our competitors; actual or expected sales of our common stock or other securities in the open market; conditions or trends in the market in which we operate; and other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.

We cannot assure you that our common stock will become listed on NYSE Amex Equities, Nasdaq or any other securities exchange.

We plan to seek listing of our common stock on NYSE Amex Equities or Nasdaq within the next three years. However, we do not currently meet the initial listing standards of those exchanges and there are no assurances that we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of either of those or any other stock exchange, or that we will be able to maintain a listing of our common stock on either of those or any other stock exchange. Currently, we fall below the bid price requirement of $4.00 per share for Nasdaq and do not currently meet the corporate governance standards of either Nasdaq or NYSE Amex Equities. Until our common stock is listed on NYSE Amex Equities or Nasdaq or another stock exchange, we expect that our common stock will continue to trade on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, where an investor may find it difficult to dispose of our shares of common stock.

We will incur significant costs as a result of being an operating public company.

As a public operating company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses not incurred by a private company. If our stock becomes listed on Nasdaq or another major exchange or if our total assets exceed $10 million at the end of any fiscal year, we will also incur additional compliance expenses. It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, SEC proxy rules, other government regulations affecting public companies and/or stock exchange compliance requirements. As we currently do not have a large financial reporting, internal auditing and other finance staff, we may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal auditing and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures. We anticipate incurring approximately $100,000 in legal costs and $100,000 in accounting costs over the next 12 months as a result of our public company status.

Our common stock is subject to the “Penny Stock” rules of the SEC, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

Our common stock is considered a “Penny Stock”. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock. In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit investors’ ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

We have never paid nor do we expect in the near future to pay dividends.

We have never paid cash dividends on our capital stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Investors should not rely on an investment in our Company if they require income generated from dividends paid on our capital stock. Any income derived from our common stock would only come from rise in the market price of our common stock, which is uncertain and unpredictable.

We and our security holders are not subject to some reporting requirements applicable to most public companies; therefore, investors may have less information on which to base an investment decision.

We do not have a class of securities registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Therefore, we do not prepare proxy or information statements in accordance with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to matters submitted to the vote of our security holders, including, but not limited to, an increase in our authorized capital stock or the adoption of stock option plans. Our officers, directors and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock are not required to file statements of beneficial ownership on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5 pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, which such forms would disclose the reporting person’s initial ownership interest in our Company and would be subsequently updated to disclose any additional transactions. Beneficial owners of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock are not required to file reports on SEC Schedules 13D or 13G. Therefore, investors in our securities will not have any such information available in making an investment decision.

We lack proper internal controls and procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Management has identified certain material weaknesses relating to our internal controls and procedures. The reason for the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures is the result of the lack of of formal documentation containing written procedures and controls that must be followed to ensure the filing of timely and accurate reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the lack of sufficient accounting staff to provide for segregation of duties and responsibilities with respect to our cash control over the disbursements related thereto.

We may fail to qualify for continued listing on the OTC Bulletin Board, which could make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.

Our common stock is quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”). There can be no assurance that quotation of our common stock will be sustained. In the event that our common stock fails to qualify for continued quotation, our common stock could thereafter only be quoted on the “pink sheets.” Under such circumstances, shareholders may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations, for our common stock, and our common stock would become substantially less attractive to certain purchasers such as financial institutions, hedge funds and other similar investors.

Investor relations activities, nominal “float” and supply and demand factors may affect the price of our stock.

The Company expects to utilize various techniques such as non-deal road shows and investor relations campaigns in order to create investor awareness for the Company. These campaigns may include personal, video and telephone conferences with investors and prospective investors in which our business practices are described. The Company may provide compensation to investor relations firms and pay for newsletters, websites, mailings and email campaigns that are produced by third-parties based upon publicly-available information concerning the Company. The Company does not intend to review or approve the content of such analysts’ reports or other materials based upon analysts’ own research or methods. Investor relations firms should generally disclose when they are compensated for their efforts, but whether such disclosure is made or complete is not under our control. In addition, investors in the Company may, from time to time, also take steps to encourage investor awareness through similar activities that may be undertaken at the expense of the investors. Investor awareness activities may also be suspended or discontinued which may impact the trading market our common stock.

The SEC and FINRA enforce various statutes and regulations intended to prevent manipulative or deceptive devices in connection with the purchase or sale of any security and carefully scrutinize trading patterns and company news and other communications for false or misleading information, particularly in cases where the hallmarks of “pump and dump” activities may exist, such as rapid share price increases or decreases. We, and our shareholders may be subjected to enhanced regulatory scrutiny due to the small number of holders who initially will own the registered shares of our common stock publicly available for resale, and the limited trading markets in which such shares may be offered or sold which have often been associated with improper activities concerning penny-stocks, such as the OTC Bulletin Board or the OTCQB Marketplace (Pink OTC) or pink sheets. Until such time as our restricted shares are registered or available for resale under Rule 144, there will continue to be a small percentage of shares held by a small number of investors, many of whom acquired such shares in privately negotiated purchase and sale transactions, which will constitute the entire available trading market. The Supreme Court has stated that manipulative action is a term of art connoting intentional or willful conduct designed to deceive or defraud investors by controlling or artificially affecting the price of securities. Often times, manipulation is associated by regulators with forces that upset the supply and demand factors that would normally determine trading prices. Since a small percentage of the outstanding common stock of the Company will initially be available for trading, held by a small number of individuals or entities, the supply of our common stock for sale will be extremely limited for an indeterminate amount of time, which could result in higher bids, asks or sales prices than would otherwise exist. Securities regulators have often cited factors such as thinly-traded markets, small numbers of holders, and awareness campaigns as hallmarks of claims of price manipulation and other violations of law when combined with manipulative trading, such as wash sales, matched orders or other manipulative trading timed to coincide with false or touting press releases. There can be no assurance that the Company’s or third-parties’ activities, or the small number of potential sellers or small percentage of stock in the “float,” or determinations by purchasers or holders as to when or under what circumstances or at what prices they may be willing to buy or sell stock will not artificially impact (or would be claimed by regulators to have affected) the normal supply and demand factors that determine the price of the stock.

Item 2. Properties.

Our facilities are located in Pittsburg, California, Princeton, New Jersey, Miami, Florida and Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.

BioZone Labs manufactures its products in a 20,000 s.f., cGMP facility owned by 580 Garcia Avenue, LLC, its consolidated VIE, and fills and stores its products at a 60,000 sq. ft. rented facility located at 701 Willow Pass Road, Pittsburg, CA. The lease for the Willow Pass Road facility expires on April 30, 2014 and provides for annual rentals of approximately $341,000.

In July 2011, we entered into a lease for approximately 3,869 square feet of laboratory space in Princeton, New Jersey to conduct research and development activities related to our proprietary drug delivery technology. The lease expires on July 20, 2016. Rent expense is $8,065 per month. In September 2012, we terminated research and development activities at this location, including personnel connected with such efforts and our former consultant. Dr. Nian Wu, a former consultant to the Company, agreed to use his best efforts to assume the lease of the facility pursuant to the terms of his Separation Agreement.

Our corporate headquarters is located at 550 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, where we lease approximately 800 square feet of office space. The lease expires on June 30, 2013. Rent expense is approximately $2,250 per month.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

Except as set forth below, we are not involved in any pending legal proceeding or litigation that could have a material impact upon our business or results of operations. To the best of our knowledge, no governmental authority is contemplating any proceeding to which we are a party or to which any of our properties is subject, which would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations.

Aphena Pharma Solutions – Maryland, LLC f/k/a Celeste Contract Packaging, LLC, v. BioZone Laboratories, Inc. and BioZone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Daniel Fisher

District Court for the District of Maryland Northern Division; Case 1:12-cv-00852-WDQ

An action was commenced on March 19, 2012 against BioZone Labs, the Company and a former officer and director of the Company, Daniel Fisher in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. The plaintiff alleges breach of contract and other commercial wrongdoing and seeks damages in connection with a single purchase order issued during early 2010 relating to the development of certain over the counter products to treat cough and cold symptoms. The Company refutes the allegations and intends to vigorously defend against this action. We are unable to provide an estimate of the amount or range of reasonable possible losses from this litigation because, among other reasons, the complaint does not set forth a monetary demand.

Market Information

Our common stock has been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “BZNE.OB since March 7, 2011 and prior to that under the symbol “ISFR”.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report and the information described under the caption “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” above.

Company Overview

BioZone Pharmaceuticals, Inc., formerly known as 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. 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.

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.

In December 2011, in accordance with the intent of the parties participating in the reverse merger described below, the Company transferred its 55% ownership in ISR de Mexico, S. R.L. de C. V., a Mexican corporation that was owned by the Company during the period prior to February 22, 2011, in return for and cancellation of 13,948,001 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Reverse Merger

On June 30, 2011, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of BioZone Laboratories, Inc. and its affiliates. BioZone Labs primarily is engaged in the business of developing and manufacturing Over the Counter (“OTC”) drug products and cosmetic and beauty products on behalf of third parties. Equalan LLC (“Equalan”), related to BioZone Labs through common stock ownership, markets a line of proprietary skin care products under the brand names of Glyderm®. Equachem LLC (“Equachem”) also related to BioZone Labs through common stock ownership, sells raw materials used in OTC drugs and cosmetic products. We refer to BioZone Labs, Equalan and Equachem as the “BioZone Labs Group”. The BioZone Labs Group generated $17.2 and $12.6 million of sales during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, of which $17.2 million or 94% and $11.6 million or 92%, respectively, were generated by BioZone Labs from its third party contract manufacturing business.

Pursuant to authoritative accounting guidance, we accounted for the purchase of the BioZone Labs Group as a “Reverse Merger”, with each of BioZone Labs, Equalan and Equachem, treated as the accounting survivor.

On February 22, 2013 and March 7, 2013, we liquidated Equachem and Equalan, and transferred their activities to BioZone Labs in an effort to reduce selling and administrative expenses.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2011:

Sales

Sales for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $17,190,720 and $12,605,146 respectively. The increase in revenue of $4,585,574 or 36.4% primarily was attributable to new production on behalf of an internet retailer who became a customer of BioZone Labs in late 2011; increased production on behalf of Matrixx Initiatives, our largest customer; and increased orders from our legacy customers from increased end-user demand.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $9,969,068 and $9,919,568, respectively, resulting in gross profit of $7,221,652 and $2,685,578, respectively. The gross profit percentages for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were 42% and 21%, respectively.

The increase in gross profit of $4,536,074 primarily was attributable to increased sales offsetting an amount of cost of goods sold that is fixed regardless of the number of units produced; and a write-off of obsolete and unusable inventory in 2011 valued at $1,439,616 as compared to a write-off of inventory in 2012 valued at $405,918. Excluding the charges to inventory, our gross profit margins were 44% and 33% for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Operating Expenses

We had total operating expenses of $9,858,213 for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $6,572,578 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in operating expenses of $3,285,635 is due to an increase in general and administrative expenses of $869,292; $548,492 of expenses related to the reverse merger and reflecting the consolidation of Baker Cummins for the full year 2012 rather than a partial year in 2011; and an increase in legal fees of $325,000. These expenses were offset by small decreases in various expense accounts. Selling expenses increased by $96,435 or 14.2% to $774,778 for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $678,343 for the year ended December 31, 2011 due to the large increase in sales. Research and Development expenses increased $319,908, due to the opening of our research facility in Princeton, NJ and the addition of 5 staff members. In September 2012, we terminated research and development activities at this location, including personnel connected with such efforts.

We recorded a charge of $2,000,000 for the cost of reimbursing Matrixx for the expense of the Product Recall. We have paid Matrixx a total of $579,197, the balance remains due and owing.

Interest Expense

We incurred interest expense of $5,481,581 for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $1,242,853 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in interest expense of $4,238,728 primarily is due to an increase of $3,295,896 resulting from recording the excess value of warrants issued with the convertible notes the Company sold in 2012. In addition, $976,319 of the increase was due to the amortization of the debt discount recorded for the warrants issued with the convertible notes sold by the Company in 2012. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in interest paid due to lower interest rates and lower average outstanding balances.

Change in value of derivative instruments

We recorded a gain of $153,540 related to the change in the fair market value of our derivative instruments for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the period ended December 31, 2011 when we recorded a loss of $281,508 for.

Net Loss / Income

As a result of the foregoing, we realized a net loss of $7,964,602 for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to a net loss of $5,457,310 for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase in net loss of $2,507,292.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have identified certain material weaknesses relating to our internal controls and procedures. The reason for the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures is the result of the lack of formal documentation containing written procedures and controls that must be followed to ensure the filing of timely and accurate reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the lack of sufficient accounting staff to provide for segregation of duties and responsibilities with respect to our cash control over the disbursements related thereto. Although neither management nor our independent auditors discovered any significant errors in the preparation of our financial statements, the lack of formal written controls and procedures and the lack of multiple levels of review and segregation of duties could lead to error or fraud and is considered a per se material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting Recently we hired additional staff in our accounting department and are initiating a program to establish formal written controls and procedures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2012, our current assets were $2,670,293 as compared to $2,904,436 at December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2012, our current liabilities were $7,925,513, as compared to $7,278,170 at December 31, 2011. Operating activities used net cash of $1,471,396 for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to using net cash of $420,953 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, investing activities used net cash of $374,336, comprised of cash used for the purchases of property and equipment. During the year ended December 31, 2011, investing activities provided net cash of $10,290, primarily due to the cash acquired in the Aero acquisition.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, cash of $1,491,695 was provided by financing activities, consisting of proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes of $3,750,000, and the sale of common stock of $650,000. This was offset by repayment of convertible notes payable of $2,650,115, payment of deferred financing fees of $36,304, and repayment of debt of $222,001 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $575,521 during the comparable twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011, which consisted of proceeds from convertible debt of $2,750,000 and proceeds from the sale of common stock of $705,000, offset by repayments of borrowings of note holders, primarily Bank of Marin, of $2,725,904, payment of deferred financing fees of $150,364 and repayment to shareholders of $3,211.

Our net loss for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $7,964,602 and $5,457,310 respectively. As of December 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $62,296 and negative working capital of $5,255,220.

In connection with the execution of the Factoring Agreement, the Seller entered into a Purchase Money Rider (the “Purchase Money Rider”) with Midland pursuant to which Midland will provide to the Seller, on a discretionary basis, financing to procure raw materials for the manufacture of Seller’s goods. The financing under the Purchase Money Rider may be made via direct payment to the Company’s suppliers or issuance of letters of credit. The Seller will be required to pay Midland an initial purchase fee of 2.95% of the amount financed plus a purchase money fee of 0.933% of the amount financed for each 10 day period following the first 30 days of financing. In addition to and in connection with the foregoing, Guarantee and Security Agreements, Validity Guarantees and Intercreditor Agreements were executed. The above description of the Factoring Agreement and the agreements executed in connection therewith do not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to forms of such agreements which are filed as exhibits to this Annual Report.

We are in the process of reviewing our contract manufacturing cost structure to identify inefficiencies and opportunities for reductions. Also, we are reviewing our sales efforts and programs to identify opportunities for increasing sales volume. We anticipate that these efforts will reduce or eliminate ongoing losses and allow us to continue contract manufacturing operations for the foreseeable future.

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, 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.

Off–Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2012, 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).

Impact of Inflation

The impact of inflation upon our revenue and income/(loss) from continuing operations during each of the past two fiscal years has not been material to our financial position or results of operations for those years because we do not maintain significant inventories whose costs are affected by inflation.

Properties

Our facilities are located in Pittsburg, California, Princeton, New Jersey, Miami, Florida and Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.

BioZone Labs manufactures its products in a 20,000 s.f., cGMP facility owned by 580 Garcia Avenue, LLC, its consolidated VIE and fills and stores its products at a 60,000 sq. ft. rented facility located at 701 Willow Pass Road, Pittsburg, CA. The lease for the Willow Pass Road facility expires on April 30, 2014 and provides for annual rentals of approximately $341,000.

In July 2011, we entered into a lease for approximately 3,869 square feet of laboratory space in Princeton, New Jersey to conduct research and development activities related to our proprietary drug delivery technology. The lease expires on July 20, 2016. Rent expense is approximately $8,065 per month. In September 2012, we terminated research and development activities at this location, including personnel connected with such efforts and our former consultant. Dr. Nian Wu, a former consultant to the Company, agreed to use his best efforts to assume the lease of the facility pursuant to the terms of his Separation Agreement.

Our corporate headquarters is located at 550 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, where we lease approximately 1,250 square feet of office space. The lease expires on June 30, 2013. Rent expense is approximately $2,250 per month.

Seasonality

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures in the financial statements. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, and changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BioZone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned, its equity investment in BetaZone Laboratories, LLC, and 580 Garcia Ave, LLC, a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”).

The Company considered the terms of its interest in 580 Garcia and determined that it was a variable interest entity (VIE) in accordance with ACS 810-10-55, and that it should be consolidated with the Company. As of December 31, 2011, amounts relating to 580 Garcia included in the consolidated assets, which are shown in Property and Equipment, and consolidated liabilities, which are reported in long-term debt, total $758,814 and $2,582,818, respectively. The Company rents the manufacturing facility located at 580 Garcia Avenue, Pittsburg CA from 580 Garcia, is the sole tenant and is a guarantor of the mortgage note issued by 580 Garcia to GECC, the lien holder on the property. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss, which is based on the Company’s guarantee of the mortgage note of 580 Garcia owed to GECC, is $2,582,818, which equals the carrying amount of the liability as of December 31, 2012.

Revenue Recognition

BioZone Labs operates as a contract manufacturer and produces finished goods according to customer specifications. Equalan sells its merchandise directly to dermatologists and to online retailers. Equachem operates as a reseller of pharmaceutical raw materials and licensor of intellectual property. The agreements with customers for each of the companies do not contain any rights of return other than for goods that fail to meet the specifications provided by the customer. None of the companies has 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.

Revenue from the licensing of intellectual property is recorded when reported to us by the licensee.

Convertible Instruments

We evaluate and account for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities”.

Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

We account for convertible instruments (when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: We record when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption. The embedded conversion option in connection with our convertible debt could not be exercised unless and until we completed a Qualifying Financing transaction. Accordingly, we determined based on authoritative guidance that the embedded conversion option is deemed to be a contingent conversion rather than active conversion option that did not require accounting recognition at the commitment dates of the issuances of the Notes.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

We classify as equity any contracts that require physical settlement or net-share settlement or provide us a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in our own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) provided that such contracts are indexed to our own stock as defined in ASC 815-40 ("Contracts in Entity's Own Equity"). We classify as assets or liabilities any contracts that require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside our control) or give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). We assess classification of our common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.

Our derivative instruments were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the following assumptions during the year ended December 31, 2012:

Estimated dividends None

Expected volatility 184%

Risk-free interest rate 0.83%

Expected term 3.25 years

Research and Development

Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred.

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 derecognition, 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Biozone Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Biozone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

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. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Biozone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses for its last two fiscal years, has a working capital deficiency of $5,255,220, and an accumulated deficit of $14,128,079. Management plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 3. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

We were also engaged to audit, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 29, 2012 expressed a disclaimer of opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

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. On March 1, 2011, we changed our name from International Surf Resorts, Inc. to BioZone Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

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 Laboratories, LLC (“BetaZone”) in exchange for 321,101 shares of our common stock, for a total of 21 million shares. 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. We have 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 historical financial statements of the BioZone Lab Group, and BioZone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. from the date of acquisition. As a result of the June 30, 2011 transaction referred to above, we recorded the fair value of the acquisition at $2,000,000 as further described below. In addition, on September 21, 2011, the Company issued 13,914 shares of common stock to certain shareholders in consideration for the delay in filing the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, as required in the Asset Purchase Agreement. These shares were valued at $0.50 per share and the resulting amount was charged to interest expense at the time of issuance.

The Company engaged a leading financial advisory firm specializing in corporate finance and business valuation to determine the fair value of certain identifiable intangible assets acquired which were identified based on an analysis of the transaction, a review of available supporting documents, and discussions with management. The analysis focused on determining which components met the requirements for recognition as an intangible asset separate from goodwill under ASC 805, and had characteristics that allowed its value to be reasonably estimated. This analysis ultimately identified the acquired brands and customer relationships as the qualifying intangible assets subject to amortization, which were valued at $110,000 and $172,800, respectively. Intangible assets recognized apart from goodwill are classified as finite lived (subject to amortization) on the basis of the intangible asset’s expected useful life, which was determined to be 5 years.

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:

Financial assets	$	598,168
Inventory		92,343
Property and equipment		1,377
Financial liabilities		(1,672	)
Total identifiable assets		690,216
Goodwill		1,026,984
Intangibles		282,800
	$	2,000,000

The following table provides unaudited pro-forma results of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 as if the acquisition had been consummated as of the beginning of the period presented. The pro-forma results include the effect of certain purchase accounting adjustments, such as the estimated changes in depreciation and amortization expense on the acquired intangible assets. However, pro-forma results do not include any anticipated cost savings or other effects of the planned integration of the companies. Accordingly, such amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results if the acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated, or which may occur in the future.

The revised presentation in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Deficiency arises from a revision of the number of shares outstanding as of December 31, 2010, the first date of the Company’s financial statements included in the accompanying financial statements. Specifically, we reduced the number of shares outstanding as of December 31, 2009 from 44,749,999 to 21,000,000 to accurately reflect the number of shares issued to the owners of the BioZone Labs Group, the accounting acquiror in the reverse merger. As a result of this change, we revised the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 to show as 21,000,000 the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding at December 31, 2010.

NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Consolidation

The Company considered the terms of its interest in 580 Garcia and determined that it was a variable interest entity (VIE) in accordance with ACS 810-10-55, and that it should be consolidated with the Company. As of December 31, 2011, amounts relating to 580 Garcia included in the consolidated assets, which are shown in Property and Equipment, and consolidated liabilities, which are reported in long-term debt, total $758,894 and $2,582,818, respectively. The Company rents the manufacturing facility located at 580 Garcia Avenue, Pittsburg CA from 580 Garcia, is the sole tenant and is a guarantor of the mortgage note issued by 580 Garcia to GECC, the lien holder on the property. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss, which is based on the Company’s guarantee of the mortgage note of 580 Garcia owed to GECC, is $2,582,818, which equals the carrying amount of the liability as of December 31, 2012.

Our significant unconsolidated subsidiary that is accounted for using the equity method of accounting is our investment in BetaZone Laboratories, LLC.

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.

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.

If the Company identifies excess, obsolete or unsalable items, its inventories are written down to their realizable value in the period in which the impairment is first identified. During the year ended December 31, 2012 we recorded a charge to cost of sales of $405,918 while in the prior year period we charged $1,439,616 relating to the write-down of inventory due to obsolescence. Shipping and handling costs incurred for inventory purchases and product shipments are recorded in cost of sales in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

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)

The warrant liabilities issued in connection with our convertible debt, classified as a level 3 liability, are the only financial liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis

We measure derivative liabilities at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with assumptions that include the fair value of the stock underlying the derivative instrument, the exercise or conversion price of the derivative instrument, the risk free interest rate for a term comparable to the term of the derivative instrument and the volatility rate and dividend yield for our common stock. For derivative instruments convertible into or exercisable for shares of our preferred stock, we considered the price per share of $.50 paid by unrelated parties as the fair value of our common stock. For derivative instruments convertible into or exercisable for shares of our common stock, we considered the results of a valuation performed by a third party specialist and other internal analyses performed by management to determine the value of our stock at the commitment dates of applicable transactions. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company has not paid dividends to date and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future due to its substantial accumulated deficit. Accordingly, expected dividends yields are currently zero. Expected volatility is based principally on an analysis of historical volatilities of similarly situated companies in the marketplace for a number of periods that is at least equal to the contractual term or estimated life of the applicable financial instrument.

We also considered the use of the lattice or binomial models with respect to valuing derivative financial instruments that feature anti-dilution price protection; however, the differences in the results are insignificant due to the low probability of triggering price adjustments in such financial instruments

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.

Convertible Instruments

We evaluate and account for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities”.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

Our derivative instruments consisting of warrants to purchase our common stock were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the following assumptions at December 31, 2012:

	Estimated dividends		None

	Expected volatility		184%

	Risk-free interest rate		0.83%

	Expected term		3.25 years

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. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold our deposits are financially sound and therefore pose minimal credit risk

Research and development

Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred

Advertising

Advertising and marketing expenses are charged to operations as incurred

NOTE 3 – Going Concern

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. The Company has incurred operating losses for its last two fiscal years, has a working capital deficiency of $5,255,220 and an accumulated deficit of $14,128,079 as of December 31, 2012. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is implementing a growth strategy for our contract manufacturing business is to increase sales by establishing a dedicated sales team with industry experience who will leverage our expertise in product development and formulation to attract new contract manufacturing customers. Our growth strategy for our proprietary brand business is to increase our promotional efforts through direct mail, internet and participation at trade shows. The Company is also working to reduce selling and administrative expenses as shown by our liquidation of two of our subsidiary companies and folding their operations into Biozone Labs group. The Company has secured a financing agreement to assist with its cash needs. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 4 – Property and Equipment

A summary of property and equipment and the estimated useful lives used in the computation of depreciation and amortization is as follows:

Fixed Asset	Useful Life	December 31, 2012	December 31, 2011

Vehicles	5 years	300,370	300,370
Furniture and Fixtures	10 years	64,539	60,936
Computers	5 years	234,123	191,206

Accumulated depreciation		(4,929,037)	(4,558,202)
Net		3,333,919	3,342,447

NOTE 5 – Equity Method Investments

Our significant unconsolidated subsidiary that is accounted for using the equity method of accounting is our investment in BetaZone Laboratories LLC. Summarized financial information for our investment in BetaZone Laboratories, LLC assuming 100% ownership interest is as follows:

	2012			2011
Balance sheet
Current assets		3,825			110,093

In 2011, when the Company’s share of losses equaled the carrying value of its investment, the equity method of accounting was suspended, and no additional losses were charged to operations. The Company’s unrecorded share of losses for 2012 totaled $122,821.

NOTE 6 – 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 “Private Placement”).

The March 2011 Notes, extended as described below , originally were scheduled to 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 was due and payable in cash on the Maturity Date.

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.

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 $129,000 of 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 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 would 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.

On December 8, 2011 the Company repaid $200,000 to one of the note holders.

In March 2012, the Company repaid in full all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest due with respect to the March 2011 Notes.

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 (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 .

On November 30, 2011, the note and accrued interest were converted into 1,018,356 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Company also issued the holder a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

The “February 2012 Notes”

On February 24, 2012, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with OPKO Health Inc. pursuant to which we sold a 10% secured convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $1,700,000 due two years from the date of issuance and issued warrants to purchase 8,500,000 shares of the our common stock, at an exercise price of $0.40 per share, for gross proceeds of $1,700,000.

On February 28, 2012 and February 29, 2012, we entered in a Securities Purchase Agreement with two additional buyers pursuant to which we sold an additional $600,000 aggregate principal amount of notes and issued warrants to purchase an additional 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $0.40 per share, for gross proceeds of $600,000, on the same terms as the notes and warrants issued to OPKO as described above.

In connection with the sale of the notes and the warrants, the Company and the collateral agent for the buyers entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement pursuant to which all of our obligations under the notes are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in all of our tangible and intangible assets, including all of our ownership interest in our subsidiaries.

The entire principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest on the notes is due and payable in cash on the maturity date set forth in the notes. The notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.20 per share, subject to adjustment. We may prepay any outstanding amount due under the notes, in whole or in part, prior to the maturity date. The notes are subject to certain “Events of Defaults” which could cause all amounts due and owing thereunder to become immediately due and payable. Among other things, our failure to pay any accrued but unpaid interest when due, the failure to perform any obligation under the governing transaction documents or if any representation or warranty made by the Company in connection with the governing transaction documents proves to have been incorrect in any material respect constitutes an Event of Default under the governing transaction documents.

The Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of the notes or exercise of the warrants, to the extent that as a result of such conversion or exercise the holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% (subject to waiver) in the aggregate of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of such note or exercise of such warrant, as the case may be.

The warrants are immediately exercisable and expire ten years after the date of issuance. The warrants have an initial exercise price of $0.40 per share. The warrants are exercisable in cash or through a “cashless exercise”. All of the warrants granted with these notes have been exercised.

We determined that the initial fair value of the warrants was $5,221,172 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which we treated as a liability with a corresponding decrease in the carrying value of the notes. Under authoritative guidance, the carrying value of the notes may not be reduced below zero. Accordingly, we recorded interest expense of $2,921,172 at the time of the issuance of the notes, which is the excess of the value of the warrants over the allocated fair value of the notes. The discount related to the notes will be amortized over the term of the notes as interest expense, calculated using an effective interest method.

We determined that, according to ASC 470120-30, a beneficial conversion feature existed based on the intrinsic value of the conversion feature. Due to the fact that the carrying amount of the convertible notes has been reduced to zero, based on the discount allocated from the value of the warrants referred to above, that no beneficial conversion feature is to be recorded. ASC 470-20-30-8 states that if the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is greater than the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument, the amount of the discount assigned to the beneficial conversion feature shall be limited to the amount of the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument.

The “March 2012 Purchase Order Note”

On March 13, 2012, we sold a 10% senior convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “Purchase Order Note”) to an accredited investor for a purchase price of $1,000,000. The principal amount of the Purchase Order Note is payable in cash on such dates and in such amounts as set forth in the Purchase Order Note, based on the receipt of proceeds from sales to a certain vendor (the “Vendor Proceeds”). The last date of the scheduled payments under the Purchase Order Note is referred to as the “Final Maturity Date”. All of our obligations under the Purchase Order Note are secured by a first priority security interest in the Vendor Proceeds as defined. The holder of the notes issued in February 2012 agreed to subordinate their security interest in the Vendor Proceeds to the interest of the holder of the Purchase Order Note.

The Purchase Order Note is convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.50 per share. The Purchase Order Note bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. We may prepay any outstanding amounts owing under the Purchase Order Note, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Final Maturity Date. The entire remaining principal amount and all accrued but unpaid or unconverted interest is due and payable on the earliest of (1) the Final Maturity Date, (2) the consummation of a financing by the Company resulting in net proceeds equal to or greater than 1.5 times the remaining outstanding unconverted principal amount and (3) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Purchase Order Note).

The Company has not recorded a BCF on the March 201 2 Purchase Order Notes due to the effective conversion price being greater than the fair value of the Company’s stock at the issuance date.

The Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of the Purchase Order Note, to the extent that as a result of such conversion, the holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% (subject to waiver) in the aggregate of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Purchase Order Note.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company repaid $600,000 of the Purchase Order Note.

The “April 2012 Working Capital Note”

On April 18, 2012, we sold a 10% senior convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $250,000 (the “Working Capital Note”) to an accredited investor for a purchase price of $250,000. The principal amount of the Working Capital Note is payable in cash on such dates and in such amounts as set forth in the Working Capital Note based on the receipt of the Vendor Proceeds as defined. The last date of the scheduled payments under the Working Capital Note is referred to as the “Final Maturity Date”. All of our obligations under the Purchase Order Note are secured by a first priority security interest in the Vendor Proceeds. The buyers of the February 2012 Notes agreed to subordinate their security interest in the Vendor Proceeds to the interest of the holder of the Working Capital Note.

The Working Capital Note is convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.50 per share. The Working Capital Note bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. We may prepay any outstanding amounts owing under the Working Capital Note, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Final Maturity Date. The entire remaining principal amount and all accrued but unpaid or unconverted interest is due and payable on the earliest of (1) the Final Maturity Date, (2) the consummation of a financing by the Company resulting in net proceeds equal to or greater than 1.5 times the remaining outstanding unconverted principal amount and (3) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Working Capital Note).

The Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of the Working Capital Note, to the extent that as a result of such conversion, the holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% (subject to waiver) in the aggregate of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Working Capital Note.

On September 28, 2012, the holder of the Working Capital Note exchanged such note for the June 2012 Convertible Notes described below.

The “June 2012 Working Capital Notes”

The June 2012 Working Capital Notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum. We may prepay any outstanding amounts owing under the June 2012 Working Capital Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the maturity date.

On June 28, 2012, the holders of the June 2012 Working Capital Notes exchanged such notes for the June 2012 Convertible Notes described below.

The “June 2012 Convertible Notes”

The June 2012 Convertible Notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum and mature two years from their issue date. We may prepay any outstanding amounts owing under the June 2012 Convertible Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the maturity date. The entire remaining principal amount and all accrued but unpaid or unconverted interest is due and payable on the earlier of the Maturity Date or the occurrence of an Event of Default (each as defined in the June 2012 Convertible Notes). The June 2012 Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.20 per share.

The Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of the June 2012 Convertible Notes or exercise of the June 2012 Warrants, to the extent that as a result of such conversion or exercise, the holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% (subject to waiver) in the aggregate of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the June 2012 Convertible Note or exercise of the June 2012 warrant, as the case may be.

The June 2012 Warrants are exercisable immediately and expire ten years after the date of issuance and have an initial exercise price of $0.40 per share. The June 2012 Warrants are exercisable in cash or through a “cashless exercise”. We determined that the initial fair value of the June 2012 Warrants was $1,036,042 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which we treated as a liability with a corresponding decrease in the carrying value of the June 2012 Convertible Notes. Under authoritative guidance, the carrying value of the June 2012 Convertible Notes may not be reduced below zero. Accordingly, we recorded interest expense of $580,768, which is the excess of the value of the June 2012 Warrants over the allocated fair value of the June 2012 Convertible Notes, at the date of the issuance. The discount related to the June 2012 Convertible Notes will be amortized over the term of the Notes as interest expense, calculated using an effective interest method.

The following table sets forth a summary of all the outstanding convertible promissory notes at December 31, 2012:

Convertible promissory notes issued	6,505,274
Notes repaid	(2,850,000	)

NOTE 9 – Warrants

The “March 2011 Warrants”

In March, 2011, the Company issued the March 2011 Warrants to purchase securities of the Company in the Target Transaction Financing as defined in the governing purchase agreement (Note 7).

The March 2011 Warrants may be exercised immediately and expire five years after the date of issue. Each March 2011 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 March 2011 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 below) (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 March 2011 Warrant is exercisable in cash or by way of a “cashless exercise” during any period that a registration statement covering the resale of the underlying shares of common stock and/or other securities issuable upon exercise of the March 2011 Warrant, or an exemption from registration is not available. The exercise price of the March 2011 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 March 2011 Warrant will be immediately reduced to equal the price at which the Company issued the securities.

On February 28, 2012, each holder of March 2011 Warrants entered into a Cancellation Agreement, which provides, among other things, for the cancellation of the March 2011 Warrants. In exchange, the Company issued to the former holders of the March 2011 Warrants a total of 1,000,000 replacement warrants (the “Replacement Warrants”). The Replacement Warrants may be exercised immediately and expire four years after the date of issue. Each Warrant has an initial exercise price of $0.60 per share, subject to adjustment for certain corporate reorganization transactions.

As of September 30, 2012, a total of 1,000,000 Replacement Warrants remain outstanding, with an exercise price of $0.60 per share

The “September 2011 Warrants”

In connection with the sale of the September 2011 Note, we issued the September 2011 Warrant to purchase certain securities of the Company in the Target Transaction Financing (Note 7).

The September 2011 Warrant may be exercised immediately and expires five years after the date of issue. The September 2011 Warrant has an initial exercise price of the lower of $1.80 and 120% of the per share price in the Target Transaction Financing. The September 2011 Warrant entitles the holder to purchase the number of shares of common stock and/or other securities, including units of securities, sold in the PIPE Offering (as defined in the Warrant) equal to the principal amount of the note issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, divided by the lower of $1.50 and the per share price in the PIPE Offering. The September 2011 Warrant is exercisable in cash or, while a registration statement covering the resale of the underlying shares of common stock and/or other securities issuable upon exercise of the September 2011 Warrant, or an exemption from registration, is not available, by way of a “cashless exercise”. The exercise price of the September 2011 Warrant is subject to a “ratchet” anti-dilution adjustment for a period of one year from the issue date of the September 2011 Warrant. 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 September 2011 Warrant shall be immediately reduced to equal the price at which the Company issued the securities.

On November 30, 2011, the holder of the September 2011 Note converted the entire principal amount and accrued interest due with respect to the note into 1,018,356 shares of our common stock and the September 2011 Warrant was cancelled. In exchange, we issued to the holder a Replacement Warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

On June 28, 2012, the holder of the Replacement Warrant exercised his right to acquire 500,000 shares of our common stock through the cashless exercise feature and we issued to the holder 375,000 shares of our common stock.

The “January 2012 Warrants”

On January 11, 2012 and January 25, 2012, we sold an aggregate of 1,300,000 units (the “Units”) to accredited investors. Each Unit was sold for a purchase price of $0.50 per Unit and consisted of: (i) one share of the Company’s common stock and (ii) a four-year warrant to purchase 650,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events (the “January 2012 Warrants”). The January 2012 Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis after twelve (12) months from the date of closing if there is no effective registration statement covering the resale of the underlying shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant. The January 2012 warrants provide the holder with “piggyback registration rights”, which obligate us to register the common shares underlying the warrants upon request of the holders in the event that we decide to register any of our common stock either for our own account or the account of a security holder (subject to certain exceptions). Based on authoritative guidance, we have accounted for the January 2012 Warrants as liabilities.

As of September 30, 2012, a total of 650,000 January 2012 Warrants remain outstanding, with an exercise price of $0.50 per share.

The “February 2012 Warrants”

In connection with the sale of the February 2012 Notes, we issued the February 2012 Warrants entitling the holders to purchase up to 11,500,000 shares of our common stock (Note 7).

The February 2012 Warrants expire ten years from date of issuance and have an exercise price of $0.40 per common share. The February 2012 Warrants contain a “cashless exercise” feature and provide the holder with “piggyback registration rights”, which obligate us to register the common shares underlying the February 2011 Warrants upon request of the holder in the event that we decide to register any of our common stock either for our own account or the account of a security holder (subject to certain exceptions). Based on authoritative guidance, we have accounted for the February 2012 Warrants as liabilities. The liability for the warrants, measured at fair value, based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model, has been offset by a reduction in the carrying value of the related February 2012 Notes.

On April 25, 2012, certain holders February 2012 Warrants exercised their right to acquire 3,000,000 shares of our common stock through the cashless exercise feature and we issued to the holders a total of 2,636,804 shares of our common stock.

On July 3, 2012, the remaining holder of February 2012 Warrants exercised its right to acquire 8,500,000 shares of our common stock through the cashless exercise feature and we issued to the holder 7,650,000 shares of our common stock.

The Advisory and Consulting Warrants

As part of an Advisory and Consulting Agreement between the Company and Tekesta Capital Partners, in April 2012, we issued 200,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. Based on authoritative guidance, we have accounted for these warrants as liabilities.

The warrants issued under the Advisory and Consulting Agreement expire five years from the date of issuance, have an exercise price of $0.60 per common share and contain a “cashless exercise” feature.

On August 2, 2012, holders of all the outstanding warrants issued under the Advisory and Consulting Agreement exercised their warrants on a cashless basis and received a total of 170,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

“The June 2012 Warrants”

In connection with the issuance of the June 2012 Notes, we issued the June 2012 Warrants entitling the holders to purchase up to a total of 2,250,000 shares of our common stock (Note 7).

The June 2012 Warrants expire ten years from the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $0.40 per common share. The June 2012 Warrants contain a “cashless exercise” feature. These warrants provide the holder with “piggyback registration rights”, which obligate us to register the common shares underlying the warrants upon the request of the holder in the event that we decide to register any of our common stock either for our own account or the account of a security holder (subject to certain exceptions). Based on authoritative guidance, we have accounted for the June 2012 Warrants as liabilities. The liability for the June 2012 Warrants, measured at fair value, based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model, has been offset by a reduction in the carrying value of the related June 2012 Notes.

On June 28, 2012, the holders of the June 2012 Warrants exercised their rights to acquire 2,250,000 shares of our common stock through the cashless exercise feature and we issued to the holders a total of 2,025,000 shares of our common stock.

NOTE 10 – Income Taxes

The reconciliation of income tax benefit at the U.S. statutory rate of 34% for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 to the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows:

	Year ended December 31,
	2012		2011
U.S. federal statutory rate		-34.0%		-34.0	%
State income tax, net of federal benefit		-6.0%		-6.0	%
Permanent differences		67.0%		16.0	%
Change in valuation allowance		-27.0%		23.4	%
Income tax provision (benefit)		0.0%		-0.6	%

The benefit for income tax is summarized as follows:

	Year ended December 31,
	2012		2011
Federal:
Current	$	-	$	-
Deferred		(894,135)		(1,693,454	)
State and local:

Deferred		(157,789)		(298,845	)
Change in valuation allowance		1,051,924		1,995,571
Income tax provision (benefit)	$	0	$	3,272

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the Company’s net deferred tax liability as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

	Year ended December 31,
	2012			2011
Deferred tax assets
Net operating losses	$	2,172,000		$	1,003,188
Allowance for doubtful accounts		18,447			179,810
		2,190,447			1,182,998
Less: valuation allowance		(2,190,447	)		(1,182,998	)
					-
Deferred tax liability
Depreciation		102,022			102,022
Total deferred tax liability	$	102,022		$	102,022

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had approximately $5,400,000 and $2,500,000 of federal and state net operating loss carryovers (“NOLs”) which begin to expire in 2028. Utilization of the NOLs may be subject to limitation under the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 should there be a greater than 50% ownership change as determined under regulations. The change in ownership occurred of the Company that in June 2011 resulted in an annual limitation on the usage of the Company’s pre-acquisition net operating loss carryforwards.

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 the entire deferred tax asset relating to NOLs for every period because it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company files U.S. federal and states of California tax returns that are subject to audit by tax authorities beginning with the year ended December 31, 2008.The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax and related interest and penalties as tax expense.

BioZone Labs is currently under examination for the year ended December 31, 2009, and is still open to examination for all periods subsequent to this date. The companies included in the consolidated financial statements are open for examination for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010, and 2011.

NOTE 11 – Concentrations

Approximately, 28% and 21% of the Company’s sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 were made to two customers. These customers accounted for 27% and 9% of the Company’s sales for the year ended December 31, 2011. Also, one customer accounted for 50% of our consolidated accounts receivable as of December 31, 2012, none of which was more than 30 days past due. No other customer accounts for more than 10% of our outstanding consolidated accounts receivable.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of December 31, 2012, the fiscal year end covered by this report, our management concluded its evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.

Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

With respect to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon our evaluation regarding the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, our management, including Mr. Elliot Maza, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to insufficient personnel to properly prepare, implement and monitor adequate controls and procedures.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act. Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”). Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, management identified numerous material weaknesses as described below:

Financial Reporting Process

Description of Material Weakness as of December 31, 2012

The Company did not maintain an effective financial reporting process to prepare financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, our process lacked timely and complete financial statement reviews, appropriate account closing procedures, and appropriate reconciliation processes. Also, the Company lacked documented procedures included documentation related to testing of processes, data validation procedures from the systems into the general ledger, testing of systems, validation of results, disclosure review, and other analytics. Furthermore, the Company lacked sufficient personnel to properly segregate duties.

Information Technology Systems

Description of Material Weakness as of December 31, 2012

The Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting related to certain information technology applications and general computer controls that are considered to have an impact on financial reporting and that resulted in a more than reasonable possibility that material misstatements in our financial statements would not be prevented or detected.

Specifically, we lacked effective controls in the following areas:

Access Control — The Company did not maintain effectively designed controls to prevent unauthorized access to certain programs and data, and provide for periodic review and monitoring of access including reviews of security logs and analysis of segregation of duties conflicts.

Change Management — The Company did not maintain effectively designed controls to ensure that all information technology program and data changes were authorized, developer access to the production environment was limited, and that all program and data changes were adequately tested for accuracy and appropriate implementation.

Spreadsheets— The Company did not maintain effectively designed controls to ensure that critical spreadsheets were identified, access to these spreadsheets was restricted to appropriate personnel, changes to data or formulas were authorized and appropriate, or that the spreadsheets were adequately reviewed by someone other than the preparer.

Therefore, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2012.

A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness; yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Biozone Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

We were engaged to audited Biozone Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Biozone Pharmaceuticals, Inc’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. Because of the matters discussed below we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company does not have documented procedures related to internal control over financial reporting. The Company is in the process of developing and documenting its internal control over financial reporting system, but as of the year ended December 31, 2012 we were not able to properly test controls and render an opinion thereon.

Because of the significance of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an opinion. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Consolidated Balance Sheets of Biozone Pharmaceuticals, Inc, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related Consolidated Statements of Operations, Stockholders’ Equity, and Cash Flows for each of the years then ended, and our report dated March 29, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion which included an explanatory paragraph which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, on those consolidated financial statements.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

Our directors and executive officers were not involved in any legal proceedings as described in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past ten years except as set forth in the section entitled “Legal Proceedings” herein.

Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance

The Company has obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance insuring its directors and officers against liability for acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers. Such insurance also insures us against losses which we may incur in indemnifying our officers and directors. In addition, the Company may enter into indemnification agreements with key officers and directors and such persons shall also have indemnification rights under applicable laws, and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

Board Independence

We currently have three directors serving on our Board of Directors: Mr. Prego Novo, Mr. Maza and Dr. Keller. We are not listed on a national securities exchange and are not subject to any director independence standards. Using the definition of independence set forth in the rules of the NYSE MKT LLC, none of Mr. Novo, Mr. Maza and Dr. Keller would be considered an independent director of the Company.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors held one formal meeting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and no formal meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

We currently do not maintain any committees of the Board of Directors. Given our size and the development of our business to date, we believe that the board through its meetings can perform all of the duties and responsibilities which might be contemplated by a committee.

Except as may be provided in our bylaws, we do not currently have specified procedures in place pursuant to which security holders may recommend nominees to the Board of Directors.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Although we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate or combined, we have traditionally determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to separate these roles because it allows us to separate the strategic and oversight roles within our board structure.

Our Board of Directors is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The Board of Directors receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our company’s assessment of risks. The Board of Directors focuses on the most significant risks facing our company and our company’s general risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by our company are consistent with the Board’s appetite for risk. While the Board oversees our company, our company’s management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our company and that our Board leadership structure supports this approach.

Code of Ethics

We have not yet adopted a Code of Ethics although we expect to as we develop our infrastructure and business.

Board Diversity

While we do not have a formal policy on diversity, our Board considers diversity to include the skill set, background, reputation, type and length of business experience of our Board members as well as a particular nominee’s contributions to that mix. Although there are many other factors, the Board seeks individuals with experience on public company boards as well as experience with advertising, marketing, legal and accounting skills.

Board Assessment of Risk

Our risk management function is overseen by our Board. Our management keeps our Board apprised of material risks and provides our directors access to all information necessary for them to understand and evaluate how these risks interrelate, how they affect the Company, and how management addresses those risks. Mr. Elliot Maza, a director and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer works closely together with the Board once material risks are identified on how to best address such risk. If the identified risk poses an actual or potential conflict with management, our independent directors may conduct the assessment. The Board focuses on these key risks and interfaces with management on seeking solutions.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Except as described below, during the past three years, there have been no transactions, whether directly or indirectly, between the Company and any of its officers, directors or their family members, that exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the Company’s total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years.

We manufacture our products in a 20,000 s.f., cGMP manufacturing and laboratory facility located at 580 Garcia Avenue, Pittsburg, CA, which we rent from 580 Garcia Properties, LLC, a related company which has been determined to be a variable interest entity and has been consolidated into the financial statements. The Company believes Mr. Fisher, our former director and Executive Vice President, directly or indirectly owns 580 Garcia Avenue, LLC. The 580 Garcia Avenue facility is encumbered by mortgage debt of approximately $2.6 million. BioZone Labs pays approximately $21,000 per month directly to the mortgage lender, which it treats as rent paid to 580 Garcia Avenue, LLC. The Company believes the property to be worth approximately $800,000, and that the lease payments for the 580 Garcia Avenue facility are substantially above the market price for similar facilities. In addition, Mr. Fisher claims the Company is indebted to 580 Garcia Avenue, LLC for loans in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.1 million, which Mr. Fisher claims are in default. We paid $291,528 in rent each year for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Phillip Frost, M.D., through Frost Gamma Investments Trust, beneficially owned approximately 46% of Aero’s issued and outstanding capital stock, Roberto Prego-Novo, our Chairman, owned approximately 23% of Aero’s issued and outstanding capital stock through Olyrca Trust. Each of Dr. Frost and Mr. Prego-Novo beneficially owned approximately 10.63% and 4.62%, respectively (excluding, with respect to Mr. Prego-Novo, 1,000,000 shares of which he disclaims ownership), of our issued and outstanding capital stock following the Asset Purchase. Dr. Frost acquired a portion of his shares in February and March, 2011 for approximately $0.027 per share, while the remainders of his shares were acquired through the cashless exercise of warrants he acquired through his purchase of a convertible promissory note in June 2012. Mr. Prego-Novo acquired a portion of his shares in March 2011 for approximately $0.03 per share, while the remainder were acquired through the cashless exercise of warrants he acquired through his purchase of a convertible promissory note in April 2012. These prices were negotiated at arm’s length when we had no viable business and prior to the acquisition of Aero and prior to a final letter of intent with BioZone Laboratories shareholders.

On February 24, 2012, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Opko Health, Inc., pursuant to which we sold (i) a $1,700,000 10% secured convertible promissory note due two years from the date of issuance and (ii) ten year warrants to purchase 8,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share for gross proceeds to us of $1,700,000. The warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis commencing on the issue date. Dr. Philip Frost, the trustee of the Frost Gamma Investments Trust, a holder of 6.07% of our issued and outstanding common stock, is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Opko Health, Inc. On February 28, 2012 and February 29, 2012, we sold an additional $600,000 of notes and issued warrants on the same terms to purchase an additional 3,000,000 shares of our common stock to additional buyers for gross proceeds to us of $600,000. The transaction did not involve any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, or any public offering. The issuance of these securities was deemed to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.

Also on February 24, 2012, BioZone Pharma, BioZone Labs, and Equachem (the “BZL Licensors”) and OPKO entered into a Limited License Agreement pursuant to which OPKO acquired an exclusive license to the QuoSomes and EquaSomesTM drug delivery technology for use in ophthalmological indications and a non-exclusive license to such technology for all other indications. Also, on February 24, 2012, BioZone Pharma and OPKO entered into a Distribution Agreement pursuant to which BioZone Pharma appointed OPKO as its exclusive distributor of any drug product containing propofol as an active ingredient in combination with a compound developed by BioZone Labs based on its EquaSomes technology. Frost Gamma Investments Trust is one of our significant shareholders. Dr. Philip Frost is the trustee of Frost Gamma Investments Trust and the Chief Executive Officer of OPKO. The Distribution Agreement was effectively terminated as a result of the Separation Agreement executed between Nian Wu and the Company which, among other things, terminated that certain License Agreement between Mr. Wu and the Company, which provided for the distribution rights granted to OPKO, as further described below.

On February 28, 2012, the Company sold a $100,000 note and issued warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock to Robert Prego-Novo, Chairman of our Board of Directors. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.40 per share.

Santana Martinez, one of our former directors, previously provided office space to us at no charge. Our financial statements reflect, as occupancy costs, the fair market value of that space, which is approximately $150 per month. We treated the usage of the office space as additional paid-in capital and charged the estimated fair value rent of $150 per month to operations. We recorded total rent expense of $1,800 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and total rent expense of $1,800 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

As part of our regular business operations, BioZone Labs purchases raw material ingredients from Equachem and sells finished products to Equalan and Baker Cummins. The financial statement impact of these intercompany sales and purchases is eliminated in consolidation. Purchases by BioZone Labs from Equachem were approximately $233,000 and $127,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Sales by BioZone Labs to Equalan were approximately $118,000 and $163,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Sales by BioZone Labs to Baker Cummins were approximately $117,000 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company entered into a Separation and Release Agreement with Nian Wu, a consultant to the Company and holder a 6,650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, the parties agreed to terminate the License Agreement dated as of February 12, 2012, granting the Company the right to utilize certain of Mr. Wu’s patents relating to “Sugar Lipid Technology” for the potential commercial formulation of Propofol, and the distribution rights granted by the Company to Opko Health, Inc. Mr. Wu also tendered for cancellation 6,650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued in connection with the acquisition of certain patent rights from BioZone Laboratories, Inc. and affiliates in June 2011. As a result of the foregoing, the Company terminated its research and development activities, including personnel connected with such efforts, in Princeton New Jersey and Mr. Wu agreed to use his best efforts to assume the Company’s lease. The Separation Agreement became effective on September 20, 2012 upon acceptance by Opko Health, Inc.

On September 20, 2012, the Company also entered into a Limited License Agreement pursuant to which the Company granted Mr. Wu a limited non-exclusive worldwide license to certain of its patents, originally co-invented by Mr. Wu and assigned to the Company. Under the terms of the Limited License Agreement, each of the Company and Mr. Wu agreed to pay the other a royalty equal to 5% of their respective quarterly net sales of Covered Products (defined as any pharmaceutical preparation or formulation where the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, license or assignment thereof relies in whole or in party on any of the patents licensed under the Limited License Agreement) that rely on any Valid Claims (as defined in the Limited License Agreement). Additionally, each of the Company and Mr. Wu agreed to pay the other 50% of all fees or other payments (including all milestones, upfront payments or advances, but excluding royalties on net sales or funding or reimbursement costs of research and development activities) in consideration for any rights granted under a sublicense of the patents assigned under the Limited License Agreement. The Limited License Agreement is effective until the expiration of the last to expire licensed patents unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement.

Daniel Fisher, our former Executive Vice President and Director, advanced funds to the Company for working capital purposes in the aggregate amount of approximately $1,099,715. The advances bear interest at a weighted average rate of approximately 10% and are due on demand. The Company is in dispute with Mr. Fisher as to the amount of the balance due but has recorded as a liability the full amount claimed by him.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors

We do not currently have an Audit Committee. The policy of our Board of Directors, which acts as our Audit Committee, is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditors. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent auditors and management are required to periodically report to our Board of Directors regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditors in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The Board of Directors may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis.
