NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

June 30, 2011

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

The condensed financial statements include the accounts of Interleukin Genetics, Inc. (the Company) as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

The financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed financial statements, which, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the entire fiscal year.

For information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and Note 4 to our condensed financial statements contained herein.

The Company develops genetic tests for sale into the emerging personalized health market and performs testing services that can help individuals improve and maintain their health through preventive measures. The Company’s principal operations and markets are located in the United States.

The Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after June 30, 2011 through the date of issuance of these financial statements. The Company did not have any material recognizable or non-recognizable subsequent events.

Note 2—Operating Matters and Liquidity

The Company has experienced net operating losses since its inception through June 30, 2011, including a net loss of $2.5 million for the six months then ended, contributing to an accumulated deficit of $100 million as of June 30, 2011. The Company has borrowings of $11.0 million at June 30, 2011 under its line of credit with Pyxis Innovations Inc., an affiliate of Alticor (“Pyxis”).

In March 2010, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with institutional investors to sell $5.3 million of securities in a registered direct offering. Net proceeds of approximately $4.9 million were received on March 10, 2010.

The Company continues to take steps, as it did in 2010, to further reduce operating costs including consulting, research and personnel expenses. In addition the Company has reduced its costs of processing genetic tests in its laboratory by working with suppliers to develop more efficient raw materials such as equipment processing plates. The Company’s current laboratory space is deemed to be adequate and able to process high volumes of genetic tests.

We expect that our current and anticipated financial resources, including $3.3 million available under our credit facility with Pyxis, are adequate to maintain our current and planned operations through July 2012.

Note 3—Discontinued Operations

In August 2006, the Company acquired the assets and business of the Alan James Group, LLC (the Alan James Group). The Alan James Group was a provider of products and services in the consumer healthcare marketplace and the acquired business primarily developed, marketed and sold nutritional products and engaged in related activities. Prior to the opening of business on July 1, 2009, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, AJG Brands, Inc. entered into an asset purchase agreement with Nutraceutical Corporation and Pep Products, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nutraceutical Corporation, pursuant to which substantially all of the Alan James Group business and assets of AJG Brands, Inc. were sold to Pep Products, Inc.

Prior to June 30, 2011, we reserved for estimated sales returns, discontinued items and trade promotions applicable to the non-acquired accounts resulting from our sale of substantially all of the assets of the Alan James Group business. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, $600 was paid to former customers leaving approximately $158,366 for future returns. We completed an analysis of all return activity since the time of sale and determined that the remaining reserve was no longer required. The adjustment is reflected in income from discontinued operations in the June 30, 2011 statement of operations.

The balance of other current assets of $200,000 at June 30, 2011 represents a receivable from Nutraceutical Corporation in connection with the transaction in June 2009 which was received on July 1, 2011.

Note 4—Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from genetic testing services is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, service has been rendered, the sales price is determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Service is deemed to be rendered when the results have been reported to the individual who ordered the test. To the extent that tests have been prepaid but results have not yet been reported, recognition of all related revenue is deferred. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has deferred genetic test revenue of $762,000 and $506,000, respectively.

Sales Commissions

The Company accounts for sales commissions due to Amway Global under the Merchant Channel and Partner Agreement in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104. Commissions are recorded as an expense at the time they become due which is at the point of sale by Amway Global. Commissions were $543,000 and $169,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is stated at estimated net realizable value, which is generally the invoiced amount less any estimated discount related to payment terms. The Company offers its commercial genetic test customers a 2% cash discount if payment is made by bank wire transfer within 10 days of the invoice date.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. As the Company does not manufacture any products, no overhead costs are included in inventory. No inventory reserve is required at June 30, 2011 as all test kits are available for sale and are expected to be sold at amounts in excess of cost. When a kit is sold, the corresponding cost of the kit is recorded as deferred cost of goods sold, a component of prepaid expenses, and removed from inventory.

Inventory consisted of the following at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

	June 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Raw materials	$	93,233	$	110,347
Finished goods		4,107		7,502
Total inventory	$	97,340	$	117,849

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes by recording taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of the enacted tax law; the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Significant management judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision (benefit) for income taxes, its deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets of approximately $29.3 million as of June 30, 2011, due to uncertainties related to its ability to utilize these assets. The valuation allowance is based on management’s estimates of taxable income by jurisdiction in which the Company operates and the period over which the deferred tax assets will be recoverable. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates or management adjusts these estimates in future periods, the Company may need to adjust its valuation allowance, which could materially impact its financial position and results of operations.

The Company files a combined Massachusetts tax return with certain Alticor affiliated entities, referred to herein as “the unitary group”. Massachusetts law requires corporations with net operating loss carryforwards to go back to each year in which the loss was generated and recompute the loss as if it occurred on a consolidated basis. The Company was required to include data from the newly formed unitary group as if the unitary group was in place during the loss years. As a result, the losses generated by the Company were eliminated through this required computation. The combined filing will have no impact on the Company's financial statements.

The Company reviews its recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company reviews all material tax positions for all years open to statute to determine whether it is more likely than not that the positions taken would be sustained based on the technical merits of those positions. The Company did not recognize any adjustments for uncertain tax positions as of and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share was determined by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for all the periods presented, as the effect of the potential common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive due to the loss in each period. Potential common stock equivalents excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share consists of stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debt as set forth in the table below:

	As of June 30,
	2011		2010
Options outstanding		2,217,267		1,676,967
Warrants outstanding		2,150,000		2,150,000
Convertible preferred stock		28,160,200		28,160,200
Convertible debt		1,937,200		1,584,981
Total		34,464,667		33,572,148

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company, using available market information, has determined the estimated fair values of financial instruments. The stated values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the nature of these instruments. The fair value of our convertible debt is inherently difficult to determine as a result of the Company’s financial condition and history of operating losses. For financial reporting purposes, the Company has estimated the fair value of its debt as the difference between the book value of its assets less liabilities to third parties other than the debt holder.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with domestic financial institutions that the Company believes to be of high credit standing. The Company believes that, as of June 30, 2011, its concentration of credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents was not significant. Cash and cash equivalents are available on demand and at times may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Please see the discussion of “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in this Note 4, Significant Accounting Policies contained in the Notes to Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Recently Issued

Fair Value Measurement — In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04) , which provides additional guidance for fair value measurements. These updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or Codification) include clarifications regarding existing fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements, and also specific new guidance for items such as measurement of instruments classified within stockholders’ equity and disclosures regarding the sensitivity of Level 3 measurements to changes in valuation model inputs. These updates to the Codification are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after Dec. 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the implementation of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Comprehensive Income — In June 2011, the FASB issued Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) — Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU No. 2011-05) , which updates the Codification to require the presentation of the components of net income, the components of other comprehensive income (OCI) and total comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive statements of net income and comprehensive income. These updates do not affect the items reported in OCI or the guidance for reclassifying such items to net income. These updates to the Codification are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after Dec. 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the implementation of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

No new updates or other guidance issued to date by the FASB in 2011 are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The Company concluded that patent related legal costs, which had previously been classified with research and development expenses, should be classified as selling, general and administrative expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, these costs amounted to $116,000 and $259,000, respectively. Such reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s reported results of operations.

Note 5—Strategic Alliance with Alticor Inc.

Since March 2003, the Company has maintained a broad strategic alliance with several affiliates of the Alticor family of companies to develop and market novel nutritional and skin care products. The alliance previously included an equity investment, a multi-year research and development agreement, a licensing agreement with royalties on marketed products, the deferment of outstanding loan repayment and the refinancing of bridge financing obligations. Pyxis Innovations, Inc., an affiliate of Alticor, is the Company’s largest shareholder.

In October 2009, the Company entered into a Merchant Network and Channel Partner Agreement with Amway Corp., d/b/a/ Amway Global (“Amway Global”) a subsidiary of Alticor Inc. Pursuant to this Agreement, Amway Global sells the Company’s Inherent Health® brand of genetic tests through its e-commerce website via a hyperlink to our e-commerce site. We paid Amway Global $543,000 and $169,000 in commissions for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $281,000 and $79,000, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, representing a percentage of net sales to their customers.

On April 15, 2011, the Company entered into a contract services agreement with Alticor Corporate Enterprises Inc. and Amway International Inc. (collectively, “Alticor”). Pursuant to this agreement, the Company shall provide marketing, promotional and training services to Alticor in connection with its marketing of the Company’s weight management genetic test. Upon execution of the agreement on April 15, 2011, the agreement received retroactive effect as of October 15, 2010 and the initial term expires on October 14, 2011. The Company will receive approximately $143,000 for its services under the agreement for the initial term. The agreement may be renewed for successive one-year periods upon mutual written agreement by the parties. Alticor has the right to designate which personnel of the Company perform services under the agreement. Alticor may terminate the agreement at any time if the Company fails to perform the services in a timely, diligent, workmanlike or acceptable manner or with anyone other than the Company’s personnel specified by Alticor, or in the event that the Company becomes insolvent. The Company may terminate the agreement if Alticor defaults under the agreement. The agreement also contains standard confidentiality, ownership and restrictions on the transfer of intellectual property covenants. The Company has recorded a receivable for $107,000 representing amounts due under the agreement at June 30, 2011.

Note 6—Convertible Debt

On August 17, 2006, our existing credit facility with Pyxis was amended to provide the Company with access to approximately $14.4 million of working capital borrowings at any time prior to August 17, 2008. Any amounts borrowed thereunder bear interest at the prime rate, require quarterly interest payments and become due on demand beginning on August 16, 2011. The principal amount of any borrowing under this credit facility is convertible at Pyxis’ election into a maximum of 2,533,234 shares of common stock, reflecting a conversion price of $5.6783 per share.

This credit facility has been extended several times. Most recently, on September 30, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment to extend the availability of borrowings under the existing credit facility with Pyxis until June 30, 2012. In addition, the due date was extended from August 16, 2011 to June 30, 2012. As of June 30, 2011, there was $11,000,000 in principal outstanding under the credit facility leaving $3,316,255 of available credit. The fair value of convertible debt is estimated to be approximately $2.0 million at June 30, 2011.

Note 7—Intangible Assets

	$	572,311

Note 8—Commitments and Contingencies

Employment Agreements

On February 14, 2011, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Lewis H. Bender, its Chief Executive Officer. The agreement replaced and superseded the employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Bender that expired by its terms on January 22, 2011. The agreement has an initial term of one year and is automatically renewable for successive one year periods unless at least 90 days prior notice is given by either the Company or Mr. Bender. The agreement also provides that Mr. Bender will serve as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors for as long as he serves as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, subject to any required approval of the Company’s shareholders.

The agreement is terminable by the Company for cause or upon thirty days prior written notice without cause and by Mr. Bender upon thirty days prior written notice for “good reason” (as defined in the agreement) or upon ninety days prior written notice without good reason. If the Company terminates Mr. Bender without cause or Mr. Bender terminates his employment for good reason, then the Company will pay Mr. Bender, in addition to any accrued, but unpaid compensation prior to the termination, an amount equal to six months of his base salary. If the Company terminates Mr. Bender without cause or Mr. Bender terminates his employment with good reason within six months after a “change of control” (as defined in the agreement), then the Company will pay Mr. Bender, in addition to any accrued, but unpaid compensation prior to the termination, an amount equal to twelve months of his base salary, and all unvested stock options will automatically vest.

The agreement also includes non-compete and non-solicitation provisions for a period of six months following the termination of Mr. Bender’s employment with the Company.

Operating Lease

The Company leases its office and laboratory space under a non-cancelable operating lease expiring on March 31, 2014. In May 2010, the Company completed a sublease of approximately 6,000 square feet of underutilized office and laboratory space which reduced our total space operating costs. The sublease expires on March 31, 2013 and has a one year renewal option. The loss on the sublease of $51,044 was recognized in the second quarter of 2010. Rent expense, net of the benefit of the sublease, was $161,000 and $258,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Note 9—Capital Stock

Authorized Preferred and Common Stock

At June 30, 2011, the Company had authorized 6,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value Series A Preferred Stock, of which 5,000,000 were issued and outstanding. At June 30, 2011, the Company had authorized 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock of which 74,045,170 shares were outstanding or reserved for issuance. Of those, 36,658,933 shares were outstanding; 28,160,200 shares were reserved for the conversion of Series A Preferred to common stock; 1,937,200 shares were reserved for the conversion of the $11,000,000 of debt outstanding under the credit facility with Pyxis; 4,451,880 shares were reserved for the potential exercise of authorized and outstanding stock options; 400,000 shares were reserved for the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share which are exercisable currently until the expiration date of August 9, 2012; 1,750,000 shares were reserved for the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $1.30 per share which are exercisable currently until the expiration date of March 5, 2015; 102,934 shares were reserved for the potential exercise of rights held under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan; and 584,023 shares were reserved for the issuance upon the conversion of convertible notes that may be issued to Pyxis under the existing credit facility.

On March 5, 2010, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with certain institutional investors to sell $5.3 million of securities in a registered direct offering. The investors purchased an aggregate of 4,375,002 units for $1.20 per unit, with each unit consisting of a share of common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.40 of a share of common stock. The warrants are exercisable at $1.30 per share and expire in five years. Net proceeds to the Company after fees and expenses were approximately $4.9 million.

Series A Preferred Stock

On March 5, 2003, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Pyxis, pursuant to which Pyxis purchased from the Company 5,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for $7,000,000 in cash on that date, and an additional $2,000,000 in cash that was paid, as a result of the Company achieving a certain milestone, on March 11, 2004.

The Series A Preferred Stock accrues dividends at the rate of 8% of the original purchase price per year, payable only when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors and are non-cumulative. To date, no dividends have been declared on these shares. If the Company declares a distribution, with certain exceptions, payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights to purchase any such securities or evidences of indebtedness, then, in each such case the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock were the holders of the number of shares of common stock into which their respective shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of common stock entitled to receive such distribution.

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the Company’s assets or surplus funds to the holders of its common stock by reason of their ownership thereof, the amount of two times the then-effective purchase price per share, as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares, plus all declared but unpaid dividends on such shares for each share of Series A Preferred Stock then held by them. The liquidation preference at June 30, 2011 was $18,000,000. After receiving this amount, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to participate on an as-converted basis with the holders of Common Stock in any of the remaining assets.

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing the then-effective purchase price ($1.80, and subject to further adjustment) by the conversion price in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. As of June 30, 2011, the Series A Preferred Stock was convertible into 28,160,200 shares of common stock reflecting a current conversion price of $0.3196 per share.

Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to vote its shares of Series A Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis with the holders of common stock as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, except as otherwise required by applicable law. This means that each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which it is convertible on the applicable record date.

Note 10—Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements

Total compensation cost that has been recorded for stock-based compensation arrangements is as follows:

Exercisable, end of period		1,086,967		$	1.75		921,017		$	2.05

At the Company’s 2011 annual meeting held on June 16, 2011, stockholders approved an amendment to the 2004 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan increasing the aggregate number of shares of common stock which may be offered under the plan by an additional 2,000,000 shares. At June 30, 2011, the Company had an aggregate of 2,234,613 shares of common stock available for grant under this plan.

It is the Company’s policy to grant stock options with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date. Stock options to employees generally vest over four years based upon continuous service. Historically, the majority of the Company’s stock options have been granted in connection with the employee’s start date with the Company. In addition, the Company may grant stock options in recognition of promotion and/or performance.

For purposes of determining the stock-based compensation expense for stock option awards in 2011, the Black-Scholes option-pricing model was used with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate		2.08	%
Expected life	5.73 years
Expected volatility		123.33	%
Dividend yield		0	%

Using these assumptions, the weighted average grant date fair value of options granted in 2011 was $0.30.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Purchases made under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan are deemed to be compensatory because employees may purchase stock at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on either the first day or the last day of a calendar quarter, whichever is lower. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, employees purchased 64,134 and 31,890 shares, respectively, of common stock at a weighted-average purchase price of $0.26 and $0.69, respectively, while the weighted-average fair value was $0.31 and $0.81 per share, respectively, resulting in compensation expense of $2,855 and $3,831, respectively.

Restricted Stock Awards

Holders of restricted stock awards, which vest over a period of four years, participate fully in the rewards of stock ownership of the Company, including voting and dividend rights. Recipients of restricted stock awards are generally not required to pay any consideration to the Company for these restricted stock awards. The Company measures the fair value of the shares based on the last reported price at which the Company’s common stock traded on the date of the grant and compensation cost is recognized over the remaining service period. During each of the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not grant restricted stock awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company granted restricted stock awards of 0 and 10,000 shares, respectively.

At June 30, 2011, there was approximately $419,519 of total unrecognized compensation related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company’s stock plans.

Note 11—Industry Risk and Concentration

The Company develops genetic risk assessment tests and performs research for its own benefit. As of June 30, 2011, the Company has introduced four genetic risk assessment tests commercially. Commercial success of the Company’s genetic risk assessment tests will depend on their success as scientifically credible and cost-effective by consumers and the marketing success of the Company and its collaborative partner.

Research in the field of disease predisposing genes and genetic markers is intense and highly competitive. The Company has many competitors in the United States and abroad that have considerably greater financial, technical, marketing, and other resources available. If the Company does not discover disease predisposing genes or genetic markers and develop risk assessment tests and launch such services or products before its competitors, then the potential for significant revenues may be reduced or eliminated.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, approximately 67% and 32%, respectively, of our revenue came from sales through our Merchant Network and Channel Partner Agreement with Amway Global, a subsidiary of Alticor.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this document.

General Overview and Trends

Interleukin Genetics, Inc. is a personalized health company that develops specific, health area focused, unique genetic tests. Our overall mission is to provide test products that can help individuals improve or maintain their health through preventive measures. Our vision is to use the science of applied genetics to empower individuals and physicians to better understand the set of actions and steps necessary to guide the best lifestyle and treatment options. We believe that the science of applied genetics can help companies provide improved services to their consumers, and assist in improving outcomes in drug development and use.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we continued to focus our resources on sales of our Inherent Health® brand of genetic tests and the execution of our clinical study with the University of Michigan and Renaisance Health Services for PST®. The Inherent Health® brand offers customers a full suite of affordable, easy-to-use and meaningful genetic tests in weight management, heart health, bone health and nutritional needs. We offer an additional product under the name Wellness Select that allows our e-commerce customers to purchase any combination of our Inherent Health® genetic tests at a discounted price. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, customer orders continue to indicate that selling multiple tests in one package is a valuable addition to our Inherent Health® brand. In addition to our Inherent Health® test products we offer PST®, the periodontal disease risk assessment test sold through a Licensing Agreement with OralDNA Labs, Inc. a Quest Diagnostics Inc. company.

Sales of our genetic tests increased significantly in the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in the prior year driven primarily by increased orders through our Merchant Network and Channel Partner Agreement with Amway Corp. d/b/a Amway Global, a subsidiary of Alticor and our commercial partners.

Prior to the opening of business on July 1, 2009 we sold substantially all of the Alan James Group business and assets of our wholly-owned subsidiary AJG Brands, Inc. to Pep Products, Inc., a subsidiary of Nutraceutical Corporation. While we continue to make payments related to retail inventory returns, the amount of the payments has declined significantly. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we paid only $600 to former customers. We believe that any remaining payments will be minimal and, accordingly, have reversed the remaining reserve of $158,366 which had been established in June 2009 for related returns.

Our total research and development expenses were $1.4 million in 2010 and $0.7 million in the first six months of 2011 as we focus on our own development and commercialization efforts in the areas of weight management and periodontal disease. In addition, we are working with potential commercial partners to validate our technology within their specific business model often as a collaboration with little or no cost to us.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the University of Michigan, led by Dr. William Giannobile, Director of the Michigan Center for Oral Health Research (“MCOHR”) at the School of Dentistry continued to enroll patients in our joint clinical study on risk factors predictive of periodontal disease progression to tooth loss using a new version of Interleukin Genetics’ PST® genetic test. The clinical study makes use of a large, long term dental claims database to test whether risk factors, including genetic information, can guide more successful intervention and thus reduce the adverse outcomes of periodontal disease, such as tooth loss. The researchers intend to enroll approximately 4,000 consenting individuals with more than 15 consecutive years of documented oral health history. Participants provide information on periodontitis risk factors and their DNA. University of Michigan researchers will assess the frequency of preventive visits that are consistent with maintenance of proper periodontal health in patients classified as either low-risk or high-risk for periodontitis progression. Renaissance Health Service Corporation, a nonprofit organization focused on the advancement of oral health, provides funding for the trial. As of June 30, 2011 the study enrollment is progressing and we expect full enrollment by the end of 2011.

In May 2011 we entered into a research collaboration with Metagenics, Inc. to identify predictive biomarker combinations for use with Metagenics Compound Meta-060, which is a proprietary and patented formulation of tetrahydro iso-alpha acids derived from hops, in development for weight management. A key aim of the collaboration is to investigate if genetic variations identified by Interleukin Genetics are beneficial to improving weight loss and maintenance of weight loss in adults using Meta-060. Metagenics will be funding the clinical and genetic research.

In the genetic test business, competition is in flux and the markets and customer base are not well established. Adoption of new technologies by consumers requires substantial market development and customer education. Historically, we have focused on our relationship with our primary customer, Amway Global, a subsidiary of Alticor, a significant direct marketing company, in order to assist us in developing the market for our products and educating our potential customers. Our challenge in 2011 and beyond will be to develop the market for our own personalized health products. We continue to allocate considerable resources to our Inherent Health® brand of genetic test products. Due to the early stage of these initiatives, we cannot predict with certainty fluctuations we may experience in our test revenues or whether revenues derived from the Merchant Network and Channel Partner Agreement with Amway Global will ever be material or if material, will be sustained in future periods.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.8 million, compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase of $0.2 million, or 39.1%, is primarily attributable to sales of our Inherent Health® brand of genetic tests through our Merchant Network and Channel Partner Agreement with Amway Global In addition, $49,000 was recognized from processing genetic tests as part of our ongoing PST® clinical study with the University of Michigan. Genetic testing revenue is derived from tests sold and processed, which is driven by consumer demand.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, 69% of our sales revenue came through our Merchant Network and Channel Partner Agreement with Amway Global compared to 27% during the three months ended June 30, 2010. Pursuant to this agreement, Amway Global sells our genetic tests through its e-commerce web site via a hyperlink to our e-commerce site.

Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.4 million, or 55.0% of revenue, compared to $0.4 million, or 75.3% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The significant decrease in the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue is primarily attributable to increased revenue and more efficient processing of genetic tests. During 2011, we worked with our genetic testing supply vendors to provide more efficient materials that result in a lower cost of production.

Research and development expenses were $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in research and development expenses is primarily attributable to increased consulting costs related to our weight management genetic test offset by decreased compensation and allocated facility operating costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease of $0.3 million, or 22.4%, is primarily attributable to decreased expenses related to lower compensation, professional fees and promotion expenses partially offset by increased patent related legal fees and sales commissions paid to Amway Global as part of our Merchant Network and Channel Partner Agreement.

Interest expense was $89,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $73,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in interest expense of $16,000 is attributable to higher borrowings on our credit facility with Pyxis.

Results of Operations

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $1.5 million, compared to $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase of $0.6 million, or 61.0%, is primarily attributable to sales of our Inherent Health® brand of genetic tests through our Merchant Network and Channel Partner Agreement with Amway Global. In addition, $49,000 was recognized from processing genetic tests as part of our ongoing PST® clinical study with the University of Michigan.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, 67% of our sales revenue came through our Merchant Network and Channel Partner Agreement with Amway Global compared to 32% during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.8 million or 52.5% of revenue, compared to $0.8 million, or 89.7% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Changes in expenses impacting the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue are primarily attributable to increased revenue and more efficient processing of genetic tests. During 2011, we worked with our genetic testing supply vendors to provide more efficient materials that result in a lower cost of production.

Research and development expenses were $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The small decrease in research and development expenses are primarily attributable to decreased compensation and allocated facility operating costs partially offset by increased consulting costs related to our weight management genetic test.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease of $0.5 million, or 19.3% is primarily attributable to decreased expenses related to lower compensation, professional fees and promotion expenses partially offset by increased patent related legal fees and sales commissions paid to Amway Global as part of our Merchant Network and Channel Partner Agreement.

Interest expense was $177,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $140,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in interest expense of $37,000 is attributable to higher borrowings on our credit facility with Pyxis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.7 million and borrowings available under our credit facility with Pyxis of approximately $3.3 million, which permits borrowing at any time prior to June 30, 2012.

Cash used in operations was $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Cash used in operations is primarily impacted by operating results and changes in working capital, particularly the timing of the collection of receivables, inventory levels and the timing of payments to suppliers. This use of cash in 2010 was offset by a significant increase in genetic test sales resulting from media attention we received in 2010 and in 2011 by increased sales through the Merchant Network and Channel Partner Agreement with Amway Global. A significant use of cash in the first six months of 2010 were total payments of $0.4 million relating to the settlement of our obligations with former customers of the Alan James Group in connection with their rights of return of purchased product which included a final settlement reached with a major customer for inventory yet to be returned in accordance with the contractual terms of the relationship. The total settlement amounted to $0.3 million which was fully paid by June 30, 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, $5,900 was paid to former customers. We believe that any payments that may be made to former customers in the future will be minimal. In addition, the $0.2 million in other current assets at June 30, 2011 represents a receivable from Nutraceutical Corporation in connection with the transaction in July 2009. The $0.2 million was received on July 1, 2011. Cash received from genetic test sales, which is reflected in deferred revenue until the test report is issued, increased by $246,000 to $762,000 at June 30, 2011 as compared to December 31, 2010.

Cash used in investing activities, consisting of purchases of fixed assets, was $2,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $78,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Cash provided by financing activities was $17,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. On February 1, 2010, we received $2.0 million under our existing credit facility with Pyxis. We have no financial covenants as part of our credit facility with Pyxis. As of June 30, 2011, we had $11.0 million outstanding under the credit facility, which is reflected as current portion of long term debt on our balance sheet and is convertible, at the option of Pyxis into shares of our common stock at a price of $5.6783 per share. On March 5, 2010, we sold $5.3 million of securities in a registered direct offering with certain institutional investors. The investors purchased an aggregate of 4,375,002 units for $1.20 per unit, with each unit consisting of a share of common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.40 of a share of common stock. The warrants are exercisable at $1.30 per share and expire in March 2015. Net proceeds after fees and expenses were approximately $4.9 million. We received approximately $17,000 and $22,000, respectively, from the exercise of stock options and stock purchases through the employee stock purchase plan for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

The amount of cash we generate from operations is not currently sufficient to continue to fund and grow our business. We believe our success depends on our ability to have sufficient capital and liquidity to achieve our objectives of closing negotiations with partners and creating additional distribution channels for our genetic testing products and technology. In addition to maintaining our current operating line of credit we will be required to raise additional capital. Even though we are experiencing sales increases in our genetic testing business we continue to explore additional steps to reduce our operating costs. In 2010, we reduced our headcount in non-essential areas. We were successful in the second quarter of 2010 in completing a sublease of approximately 6,000 square feet, or one-third of our total office space. The space includes offices and a laboratory that was being underutilized. Our remaining office and laboratory space is adequate for our current business needs. We are able to process high volumes of genetic tests in our current laboratory. During the first six months of 2011, we reduced our cost of processing samples in our laboratory by working with our raw material vendors to make our genetic testing process more efficient resulting in lower processing costs. We have significantly reduced our research and development programs to only those that focus on technology related to agreements with potential commercial partners. We have taken steps to reduce our corporate administrative expenses by working with or seeking new vendors who offer the same service for a lower cost. While we expect that our current and anticipated financial resources, including the amount available under our credit facility with Pyxis, are adequate to maintain our current and planned operations through July 2012, we will need substantial additional funds in the future. We intend to obtain such funds from operations, through strategic alliances or through the sale of equity or debt securities, but such funding may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Our common stock was delisted from the NYSE Amex in 2010 and is currently trading on the OTCQB™. As a result, our access to capital through the public markets may be more limited.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to (i) make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses; and (ii) disclose contingent assets and liabilities. A critical accounting estimate is an assumption that could have a material effect on our financial statements if another, also reasonable, amount were used or a change in the estimates is reasonably likely from period to period. We base our accounting estimates on historical experience and other factors that we consider reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future financial condition and results of operations will be affected. Our most critical accounting policies and estimates upon which our financial condition depends, and which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments are set forth in Note 4 to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. There have been no significant changes in our accounting policies or changes from the methodology applied by management for critical accounting estimates previously disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Please see the discussion of “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 4, Significant Accounting Policies contained in the Notes to Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. No new updates or other guidance issued to date by the FASB in 2011 are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As a smaller reporting company, we have elected scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information required by this Item 3.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f)) occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
