NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Preparation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Helix BioMedix, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted for interim financial information in accordance with the SEC rules and regulations for quarterly reporting. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2011.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all normal recurring accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, impairments of long-lived assets, and valuation of receivable allowances, inventories, deferred income tax assets, stock-based compensation and derivative instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the entire year ending December 31, 2011.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-04 (ASU 2011-4), Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs to provide a uniform framework for fair value measurements and related disclosures between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2011-04 requires prospective application for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2011-04 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05 (ASU 2011-05), Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU No. 2011-05 amends existing guidance by allowing an entity the option to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. ASU No. 2011-05 requires retrospective application and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company believes the adoption of this guidance concerns disclosure only and will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Note 2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The inputs used to measure fair value are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

•

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

•

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in active markets for similar securities); and

•

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments).

HELIX BIOMEDIX, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

(Unaudited)

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, financial assets accounted for at fair value as of June 30, 2011. As required by ASC 820-10, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

	June 30, 2011		Quoted Prices in Active Market for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Money market funds	$	2,282,443	$	2,282,443	$	—	$	—
Option to purchase interest in affiliated company	$	3,221		—		—		3,221

Option to Purchase Interest in Affiliated Company. The Company estimated the fair value of the option to purchase an interest in an affiliated company to be $3,221 and $20,657 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, using the multiple of earnings method based on a number of factors and assumptions regarding the affiliated company’s potential future revenue and projected earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). The change in fair value of $17,436 was recorded in the statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Financial Instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued compensation and benefits, and accrued expenses approximated their estimated fair values at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Note 6. Investment in Affiliated Company

In July 2010, the Company obtained a 30% membership interest in NuGlow Cosmaceuticals, LLC (NuGlow), a direct-response company selling specialty skin care products, in exchange for a capital contribution of $350,000. This investment was accounted for as an equity investment and is adjusted at each reporting period to reflect the Company’s share of NuGlow’s net earnings, losses or profit distributions, if any. Additionally, at each reporting period, the Company assesses its investment in NuGlow to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The primary factors the Company considers in its determination are NuGlow’s financial condition and operating performance. If the decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary, the Company would recognize an impairment loss.

At December 31, 2010, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in NuGlow was $266,941. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded a loss of $59,065 and $51,073, respectively, to “Equity in loss of affiliated company” which reflected its share of NuGlow’s net loss during those periods, thereby decreasing the value of the Company’s investment in NuGlow to $215,868 as of June 30, 2011.

NuGlow’s condensed balance sheets at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

A total of 12,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan. Options granted under the 2011 Plan generally vest and become exercisable over periods ranging from one to three years, have a maximum term of ten years and exercise prices equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

2000 Stock Option Plan

In 2000, the Company’s stockholders approved the Helix BioMedix 2000 Stock Option Plan (the 2000 Plan). The 2000 Plan provided for the granting of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to employees, directors and consultants. Options granted under the 2000 Plan generally became exercisable over periods ranging from one to three years, had a maximum term of ten years and exercise prices equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Effective November 6, 2010, additional option awards under the 2000 Plan were discontinued and new option awards were granted under the 2011 Plan. Remaining authorized shares under the 2000 Plan that were not subject to outstanding awards as of November 6, 2010 were then cancelled. The 2000 Plan will remain in effect as to any outstanding options granted prior to November 6, 2010.

Stock Option Activities

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company granted options under the 2011 Plan to purchase an aggregate of 35,000 and 170,000 shares of common stock, respectively, with a grant date fair value of $0.22 and $0.25 per share, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company granted options to purchase 90,000 and 535,000 shares of common stock, respectively, under the 2000 Plan with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $0.26 and $0.26 per share, respectively. Fair value for options granted were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010			2011			2010
Risk-free interest rate		2.14%		2.27% – 2.63	%		2.14% – 2.17	%		2.27% – 2.77	%
Expected dividend yield		0		0			0			0
Expected terms in years		6.0		5.0 – 6.0			5.5 – 6.0			5.0 – 6.0
Expected volatility		112%		98% – 102	%		112% – 118	%		98% – 106	%

The risk-free rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero–coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term. The Company does not anticipate declaring dividends in the foreseeable future. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company calculated expected volatility based on the annualized daily historical volatility of the Company’s stock price commensurate with the expected term of the option and other factors, including peer company data. The Company estimates the expected term as the average of the vesting period and the contractual term. The Company will continue to use this method of estimation until it has sufficient historical data to provide reasonable estimates of expected lives of stock options. The Company’s stock price volatility and option term involves management’s best estimates at that time, both of which impact the fair value of the option calculated under the Black-Scholes pricing model and, ultimately, the expense that will be recognized over the life of the option. The Company recognizes compensation expense for only the portion of options that is expected to vest. Therefore, the Company applies an estimated forfeiture rate that is derived from historical employee termination behavior. Forfeiture rates are revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 related to stock options was $67,821 and $36,661, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $118,949 and $63,863, respectively. In May 2011, in connection with the departure of three members of the board of directors, the Company modified the terms of their options to accelerate the vesting and extend the exercise periods of their outstanding options from 90 days to periods of three or five years. As a result, the Company recorded a total of $52,478 of stock-based compensation in general and administrative expense related to these option modifications for the three months ended June 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2011, total unrecognized stock-based compensation related to non-vested stock options was approximately $62,708, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.2 years.

A summary of the Company’s stock compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Research and development	$	382	$	2,659	$	38,484	$	4,470
Marketing and business development		4,380		9,020		8,769		16,618
General and administrative		63,059		24,982		71,696		42,775

Total stock-based compensation	$	67,821	$	36,661	$	118,949	$	63,863

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is presented in the following table:

	Shares Subject to Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding, December 31, 2010		3,868,950		$	0.91
Granted		170,000		$	0.29
Exercised		—			—
Forfeited		(38,543	)	$	0.37

Outstanding, June 30, 2011		3,522,207		$	0.79		3.81	$	86,134

Exercisable, June 30, 2011		3,266,593		$	0.83		3.59	$	58,647

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above is based on the Company’s closing stock price of $0.42 on June 30, 2011. The intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the closing stock price and the exercise price of the stock options as of June 30, 2011, had all of the options with exercise prices less than $0.42 been exercised on that date.

Note 10. Net Loss per Share

Net loss per share has been computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted per share amounts reflect potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into common stock. The Company’s capital structure includes common stock options and common stock warrants, all of which have been excluded from net loss per share calculations as they are antidilutive, as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Weighted average outstanding options		3,908,305		3,603,723		3,905,988		3,491,720
Weighted average outstanding warrants		2,331,917		4,919,352		2,412,427		4,682,844

Note 11. Concentration of Risks

The Company maintains a portion of its cash balance in one financial institution, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. As of June 30, 2011, the Company maintained approximately $2,282,000 at major financial institutions in money market accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 per account or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation up to $500,000 per account. To date the Company has not experienced any losses in its money market account.

A significant portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from a concentrated number of customers. The following individual customers accounted for 10% or more of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
Customer A		29	%		63	%		32	%		67	%
Customer B		13	%		26	%		21	%		21	%
Customer C		27	%		—			18	%		—
Customer D		27	%		—			23	%		—

Note 12. Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,334,609. At June 30, 2011, the Company had $2,660,333 in cash and cash equivalents. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, cash used in operations was $1,360,652 and cash used in investing activities was $23,324, consisting of payments for website development costs and purchases of capital assets.

Based on the current status of the Company’s operating and product commercialization development plans, the Company estimates that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operations, continue with work towards its prescription (Rx) product development and support the continued expansion of its consumer program through the remainder of 2011. The Company will need substantial additional capital in order to maintain the current level of operations, continue commercialization of its technology and advance its pharmaceutical programs beyond 2011. Accordingly, the Company will need to raise additional funding, which may include debt and/or equity financing. However, there is no assurance that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary additional funding, the Company may not be able to satisfy its existing obligations or may be required to severely reduce the scope of its operations, which would significantly impede its ability to proceed with current operational plans and could lead to the discontinuation of its business.

The amount of capital the Company will need in the future will depend on many factors, including the amount of revenue generated by the Company, capital expenditures and hiring plans to accommodate future growth, research and development plans, future demand for the Company’s products and technology, and general economic conditions.

Business Overview

We are a biopharmaceutical company with an extensive proprietary library of structurally diverse bioactive peptides and patents covering hundreds of thousands of peptide sequences. Our mission is to enrich clinical practice and the patient/consumer experience by developing and commercializing topically applied products which offer the benefits of our advanced bioactive small molecule peptide technology. Our vision is to be recognized as the world leader in the identification, qualification and commercialization of natural and synthetic peptides.

Our business strategy is to develop our peptide and small molecule portfolio to derive revenue from a broad base of opportunities including licensing to third parties rights to use select proprietary peptides in specific fields of application and commercializing our own branded products. Over the longer term, we intend to pursue applications for products using our technology in medical devices and pharmaceutical preparations. We have developed numerous peptides with unique sequences for use in the following two areas of application:

•

Consumer skin care products — we have developed a range of peptides and small molecule technologies capable of improving different aspects of the skin’s appearance, texture, tone and barrier function and are marketing these peptides as innovative ingredients for cosmetic use; and

•

Prescription (Rx) products — certain of our peptides have demonstrated promising results in the areas of infection control, wound healing and immune modulation and are being developed for Rx applications.

Our Rx focus is on prescription-only topical preparations that would be subject to a shorter regulatory approval process under Section 510(k) of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (510(k) devices). We continue to explore possible sources of funding to support further in-house development work on our pharmaceutical programs, which we believe will enhance potential partnership opportunities with pharmaceutical companies.

We generate revenue through license agreements with skin care product manufacturers as well as by selling proprietary branded skin care products through distribution channels and through our dedicated e-commerce websites.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and judgments under different assumptions and conditions. We have discussed the critical accounting policies and estimates that we used in the preparation of our financial statements in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of the Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on March 24, 2011. There have been no material changes to those critical accounting policies or the underlying accounting estimates or judgments.

Results of Operations

Our total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 increased by 109.8% and 162.6%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2010, principally attributable to increased sales of proprietary branded consumer products.

Our net loss for the second quarter of 2011 was approximately $625,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of approximately $942,000, or $0.04 per share, for the same period in 2010. Our net loss for the first six months of 2011 was approximately $1.3 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to a net loss of approximately $1.9 million, or $0.07 per share, for the same period in 2010. The decrease in net loss for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was principally due to increases in revenue and gross profit, as well as a decrease in interest expense. The decrease in our net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was also in part attributable to an increase in the weighted average number of shares of our common stock outstanding resulting from the amendment, conversion and exercise of our convertible notes payable and warrants and the consummation of an equity financing in the fourth quarter of 2010.

As of June 30, 2011, our accumulated deficit was approximately $44,903,000. We may continue to incur substantial operating losses over the next several years based on the estimated costs associated with our current level of operations and continued commercialization of our technology being greater than our anticipated revenue.

Revenue

Revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 consisted primarily of license fees, peptide sales and consumer product sales as summarized in the table below.

	Three Months Ended June 30,							Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		Change			2011		2010		Change

NM – Not meaningful

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period last year increased by approximately $363,000, or 109.8%. License fees, which are derived from royalty arrangements, decreased by approximately $4,000, or 2.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, and increased by approximately $131,000, or 63.7%, in the first six months of 2011 compared to the same period in the previous year. The fluctuations in our royalty revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 reflected the variation in levels of product sales from our licensees.

Peptide and consumer product sales increased by approximately $179,000, or 110.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the previous year and by approximately $281,000, or 144.2%, for the first six months of 2011 compared to the same period in the previous year. Peptide sales, which increased by 6.4% and 55.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year, resulted from increased repeat sales to our existing customers. Consumer product sales, which grew by 522.6% and 534.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year, were primarily attributable to higher distributor sales.

Consumer product sales, related party consisted of products sold under private labels to NuGlow Cosmaceuticals, LLC, a direct- response company in which we have maintained an equity investment since July 2010, which markets and sells specialty skin care products.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin

Cost of revenue consists of cost of peptides and materials associated with consumer products sold. Gross profit is the difference between revenue and cost of revenue, and gross margin is gross profit expressed as a percentage of total revenue. Revenue mix affects our gross margin because our margins from license fees are higher than our margins from peptide and consumer products sales.

Cost of revenue and gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are summarized in the table below.

	Three Months Ended June 30,									Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011			2010			Change			2011			2010			Change
Cost of peptides and consumer product sales	$	247,698		$	124,745			98.6	%	$	338,995		$	149,234			127.2	%
Percentage of total revenue		35.7	%		37.8	%					32.3	%		37.3	%
Percentage of related revenue		72.8	%		77.3	%					71.3	%		76.7	%

NM – Not meaningful

Cost of peptide and consumer product sales increased by approximately $123,000, or 98.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 and by approximately $190,000, or 127.2%, for the first six months of 2010 compared to the same period in the previous year. The increases in cost of peptides for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 of 1.4% and 43.3%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year were at a lower rate than the increases in peptide revenue during those periods due primarily to the types of peptides sold. The increase in cost of consumer product sales, which grew by approximately 1400% for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in the prior year, correlated to our increased sales to distributors.

Gross margin on peptide and consumer product sales increased to 27.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 22.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and increased to 28.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 23.3% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in gross margin related to peptide and consumer product sales was due primarily to the product mix. Consumer product sales typically generate a higher gross margin than peptide sales. Gross margin on sales of consumer products to a related party was 44.1% and 43.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, influenced by both sales volumes and product mix.

Research and Development

Research and development (R&D) expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefit expenses, stock-based compensation expense, cost of external studies and trials, and contract and other outside service fees related to our R&D activities. R&D expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are summarized in the table below.

	Three Months Ended June 30,									Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011			2010			Change			2011			2010			Change
Research and development	$	90,747		$	208,193			(56.4	)%	$	315,910		$	375,865			(16.0	)%
Percentage of total revenue		13.1	%		63.0	%					30.1	%		93.9	%

R&D expenses decreased by approximately $117,000, or 56.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, and by approximately $60,000, or 16.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in R&D expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to lower spending on external trials and studies and reduced employee compensation resulting from the departure of our former Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer in February 2011. For the remainder of 2011, we anticipate R&D expenses to remain consistent with the level experienced in the first half of 2011.

Marketing and Business Development

Marketing and business development (M&BD) expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefit expenses, stock-based compensation expense, consulting fees and various marketing costs. M&BD expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are summarized in the table below.

	Three Months Ended June 30,									Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011			2010			Change			2011			2010			Change
Marketing and business development	$	244,018		$	160,751			51.8	%	$	448,455		$	286,989			56.3	%
Percentage of total revenue		35.2	%		48.7	%					42.7	%		71.7	%

M&BD expenses increased by approximately $83,000, or 51.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, and by approximately $161,000, or 56.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily driven by higher advertising expense and employee compensation due to additional headcount. We anticipate M&BD expenses to increase in absolute dollars for the remainder of 2011 as we expect to incur increased expenses on advertising, market testing and promotions for our current products as well as for new skin care products we plan to introduce in the latter half of 2011.

General and Administrative

General and administrative (G&A) expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefit expenses, stock-based compensation expense, consulting fees and general corporate expenditures. G&A expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are summarized in the table below.

	Three Months Ended June 30,									Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011			2010			Change			2011			2010			Change
General and administrative	$	374,889		$	347,115			8.0	%	$	716,681		$	706,860			1.4	%
Percentage of total revenue		54.1	%		105.1	%					68.2	%		176.7	%

G&A expenses increased by approximately $28,000, or 8.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, and by approximately $10,000, or 1.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to a one-time charge to stock-based compensation associated with option grant modifications for three board of director members who left in May 2011, partially offset by a decrease in general corporate expenses. We anticipate G&A expenses for the remainder of 2011 to be consistent with the level experienced in the first half of 2011.

Accounting, Legal and Professional Fees

Accounting, legal and professional fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are summarized in the table below.

	Three Months Ended June 30,									Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011			2010			Change			2011			2010			Change
Accounting, legal and professional fees	$	144,196		$	185,168			(22.1	)%	$	309,633		$	306,775			0.9	%
Percentage of total revenue		20.8	%		56.0	%					29.5	%		76.7	%

Accounting, legal and professional fees decreased by approximately $41,000, or 22.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, and increased by approximately $3,000, or 0.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was due primarily to lower spending in legal fees associated with general corporate matters. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was principally attributable to an increase in accounting fees related to tax services, partially offset by a decrease in legal fees related to general corporate matters.

For the remainder of 2011, we anticipate accounting, legal and professional fees to increase compared to the level experienced in the first six months of 2011 as we expect to incur higher legal expenses related to distribution and licensing agreements and intellectual property protection.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are summarized in the table below.

	Three Months Ended June 30,									Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011			2010			Change			2011			2010			Change
Depreciation and amortization	$	28,147		$	29,291			(3.9	)%	$	54,764		$	58,373			(6.2	)%
Percentage of total revenue		4.1	%		8.9	%					5.2	%		14.6	%

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by approximately $1,000, or 3.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, and by approximately $4,000, or 6.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to reduced depreciation from assets becoming fully depreciated. For the remainder of 2011, we expect depreciation and amortization expenses to be consistent with the levels experienced in the first half of 2011.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net consists of interest income, interest expense related to our outstanding convertible notes payable and accretion of discount on the convertible notes payable.

Other income (expense), net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 is summarized in the table below.

NM - Not Meaningful

Interest Income. Interest income was fairly flat for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 and increased by less than $1,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to a higher average cash balance on hand. For the remainder of 2011, we expect interest income to be lower due to our decreasing balance in cash and cash equivalents.

Interest Expense on Convertible Notes Payable, Including Related Party, and Accretion of Discount on Convertible Notes Payable, Including Related Party. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, interest expense and accretion of debt discount related to our then outstanding convertible notes payable, including related party, was approximately $219,000 and $387,000, respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2010, all of these convertible notes payable were converted into equity or repaid, and, as a result, we did not incur further interest or debt discount expense thereafter.

Equity in Loss of Affiliated Company. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the equity in loss of affiliated company of approximately $59,000 and $51,000, respectively, represented our share of NuGlow’s net loss for the respective periods. As we did not invest in NuGlow until July 2010, we did not experience any gain or loss related to an affiliated company during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Change in Value of Option to Purchase Interest in Affiliated Company. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a loss of approximately $25,000 and $17,000, respectively, which reflected the change in fair value of the option to purchase the remainder of NuGlow under certain circumstances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through the private sale of debt and equity securities. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately $2,660,000 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to approximately $4,044,000 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2010. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2010 was primarily attributable to cash used in operations, website development and purchases of capital assets totaling approximately $1,384,000.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $1,361,000 and $1,508,000, respectively, and in each case derived primarily from the net loss for the period plus the net effect of non-cash expenses. Our operating cash flows are also influenced by our working capital needs to support growth, in particular fluctuations in inventory, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current assets and liabilities. We continue to experience negative cash flows from operating activities due to the cash requirements to maintain our current level of operations while supporting activities to expand our product lines and revenue base.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, changes in accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other assets, and accrued expenses used approximately $372,000 of cash, while changes in accounts payable, accrued compensation and benefits, and deferred gross profit from a related party provided approximately $103,000 of cash. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, changes in accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid expenses used approximately $236,000 while changes in accounts payable, accrued compensation and benefits, and accrued expenses provided approximately $88,000 of cash.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, cash used in investing activities of approximately $23,000 was related to payments for website development costs and purchases of capital assets, while cash used of approximately $1,200 during the same period in 2010 was due to a purchase of capital assets.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, there was no cash provided by financing activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, cash provided by financing activities was $3,200,000, which represented the aggregate proceeds from our issuance of convertible promissory notes and warrants in March and May 2010.

Based on the current status of our operating and product commercialization development plans, we estimate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operations, continue with work towards our Rx product development and support the continued expansion of our consumer program through the remainder of 2011. We will need substantial additional capital in order to maintain the current level of operations, continue commercialization of our technology and advance our pharmaceutical programs beyond 2011. Accordingly, we will need to raise additional funding, which may include debt and/or equity financing. However, there is no assurance that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain the necessary additional funding, we may not be able to satisfy our existing obligations or may be required to severely reduce the scope of our operations, which would significantly impede our ability to proceed with current operational plans and could lead to the discontinuation of our business.

The amount of capital we will need in the future will depend on many factors, including the amount of revenue we generate, capital expenditures and hiring plans to accommodate future growth, research and development plans, future demand for our products and technology, and general economic conditions.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and the effect such obligations are expected to have on liquidity in future periods as of June 30, 2011:

Contractual Obligations	Remainder of 2011			2012 - 2013		2014 - 2015	Total
Operating lease	$	38,570	$	160,890	$	127,278	$	326,738
Purchase order commitments (1)		140,600		33,000		—		173,600

Total contractual obligations	$	179,170	$	193,890	$	127,278	$	500,338

(1) Purchase order commitments primarily consisted of open orders for inventory.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-04 (ASU 2011-04), Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs to provide a uniform framework for fair value measurements and related disclosures between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2011-04 requires prospective application for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2011-04 will have our financial position and results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05 (ASU 2011-05), Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU No. 2011-05 amends existing guidance by allowing an entity the option to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. ASU No. 2011-05 requires retrospective application and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We believe the adoption of this guidance concerns disclosure only and will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, 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 is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were functioning effectively as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A.

Risk Factors.

There are numerous factors that affect our business and results of operations, many of which are beyond our control. Please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for a description of some of the risks and uncertainties that we face. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those described in that Annual Report. If any of those risks were to occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed.
