NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND 2010

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND LIQUIDITY

The information in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes the results of operations of Elite Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted for interim financial statement presentation. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented have been included.

The financial results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or future interim periods.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011. There have been no changes in significant accounting policies since March 31, 2011.

The Company does not anticipate being profitable for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012; therefore a current provision for income tax was not established for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011. Only the minimum liability required for state corporation taxes was considered.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2.4 million, losses from operations totaling $0.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011, other expenses totaling $15.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011, and a net loss of $16.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011.

Please note that revenues and operating profits for the foreseeable future are expected to be significantly and adversely effected by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) removal of the Lodrane® extended release product line from the market. The Lodrane® extended release products, which constituted approximately 97% of the Company’s revenues at the time of FDA’s directive, were included on a list of approximately 500 cough/cold and allergy products which are being removed from the U.S. market pursuant to a directive from the FDA issued on March 4, 2011. Please refer to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 4, 2011 and the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 29, 2011 for further details, such filings being herein incorporated by reference.

In addition, the Company has received Notice of Default from the Trustee of the NJED Bonds as a result of the utilization of the debt service reserve being used to pay semi-annual interest payments due on September 1st and March 1st of each year. The debt service reserve was first used to make such semi-annual interest payments on March 1, 2009 and has been utilized for all semi-annual interest payments due since September 1, 2009. As of September 30, 2011, there have been 6 separate interest payments, totaling $694k The debt service reserve was utilized to make such payments as a result of the Company’s not having sufficient funds available to make such payments when due.

F - 6

The Company did not have sufficient funds available to make the principal payments due on September 1, 2010, totaling $225k and requested that the Trustee withdraw such funds from the debt service reserve. The Company’s request was denied and accordingly the principal payment due on September 1, 2010, totaling $225k was not made.

The Company did not have sufficient funds available to make the principal payments due on September 1, 2011, totaling $470k, with such amount including the principal payments due on September 1, 2010 and not paid. There was not sufficient funds available in the debt service reserve and accordingly, the principal payment totaling $470k was not made.

The Company has requested a postponement of principal payments due on September 1, 2010, 2011 and 2012, with an aggregate of all such postponed principal payments being added to the principal payments due on September 1, 2013. Resolution of the Company’s default on the NJEDA Bonds and our request for postponement of principal payments will have a significant effect on our ability to operate in the future.

Please refer to Note 5 to our financial statements for a more detailed discussion of the NJEDA Bonds and Notice of Default. Please also note that the working capital deficit of $2.4 million as of September 30, 2011, includes the entire principal amount due in relation to the NJEDA Bonds. This amount, totaling $3.4 million was first classified as a current liability as of March 31, 2010, due to the Notice of Default received from the Trustee in relation to the NJEDA Bonds.

As of September 30, 2011, we had cash reserves of $1.3 million. The completion of all transactions contemplated by the Epic Strategic Alliance agreement is expected to provide additional funds to permit us to continue development our product pipeline. Despite the successful completion of the initial, second and third closings of the Epic Strategic Alliance Agreement, and the first three of a total of twelve quarterly payments of $62,500 each, there can be no assurances that we will be able to consummate the remaining nine quarterly payments due under the Epic Strategic Alliance Agreement. If such transactions are consummated, we will receive additional cash proceeds of $0.5625 million. Even if we were to receive the remaining nine quarterly payments due pursuant to the Epic Strategic Alliance Agreement, we still may be required to seek additional capital in the future and there can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain such additional capital on favorable terms, if at all. For additional information regarding the Epic Strategic Alliance Agreement, please see our disclosures under “Epic Strategic Alliance Agreement” in Item 7 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in our Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on March 23, 2009, May 6, 2009, June 5, 2009, July 1, 2010 and June 29, 2011, such disclosures being herein incorporated by reference.

Furthermore, with regards to our product pipeline, please note that significant delays in the commercialization of Hydromorphone 8mg and Naltrexone 50mg are expected as a result of the a recent notification received from the FDA reclassifying to a Prior Approval Supplement, the Company’s Changes Being Effected in 30 Days Supplement (“CBE-30”) related to a change in the manufacturing and packaging site of Hydromorphone 8mg. Please refer to the current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 6, 2011 and Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 29, 2011 for further details, with such filings being herein incorporated by reference.

Management has evaluated subsequent events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued (please see note 12).

NOTE 2

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with banks and money market instruments.

NOTE 4

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Costs to acquire intangible assets, such as asset purchases of Abbreviated New Drug Applications (“ANDA’s”) which are approved by the FDA or costs incurred in the application of patents are capitalized and amortized on the straight-line method, based on their estimated useful lives ranging from five to fifteen years, commencing upon approval of the patent or site transfers required for commercialization of an acquired ANDA. Such costs are charged to expense if the patent application or ANDA site transfer is unsuccessful.

As of September 30, 2011, the following costs were recorded as intangible assets on the Company’s balance sheet:

Intangible assets at March 31, 2011 (audited)
Patent application costs			147,556

The costs incurred in patent applications totaling $16,277 for the six months ended September 30, 2011, were related to our abuse resistant and extended release opioid product lines. The Company is continuing its efforts to achieve approval of such patents. Additional costs incurred in relation to such patent applications will be capitalized as intangible assets, with amortization of such costs to commence upon approval of the patents.

NOTE 5

NJEDA BONDS

On August 31, 2005, the Company successfully completed a refinancing of a prior 1999 bond issue through the issuance of new tax-exempt bonds (the “Bonds”). The refinancing involved borrowing $4,155,000, evidenced by a 6.5% Series A Note in the principal amount of $3,660,000 maturing on September 1, 2030 and a 9% Series B Note in the principal amount of $495,000 maturing on September 1, 2012. The net proceeds, after payment of issuance costs, were used (i) to redeem the outstanding tax-exempt Bonds originally issued by the Authority on September 2, 1999, (ii) refinance other equipment financing and (iii) for the purchase of certain equipment to be used in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products. As of September 30, 2011, all of the proceeds were utilized by the Company for such stated purposes.

F - 8

Interest is payable semiannually on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The Bonds are collateralized by a first lien on the Company’s facility and equipment acquired with the proceeds of the original and refinanced Bonds. The related Indenture requires the maintenance of a $415,500 Debt Service Reserve Fund consisting of $366,000 from the Series A Notes proceeds and $49,500 from the Series B Notes proceeds. The Debt Service Reserve is maintained in restricted cash accounts that are classified in Other Assets. $1,274,311 of the proceeds had been deposited in a short-term restricted cash account to fund the purchase of manufacturing equipment and development of the Company’s facility.

Bond issue costs of $354,000 were paid from the bond proceeds and are being amortized over the life of the bonds. Amortization of bond issuance costs amounted to $3,533 and $7,068 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011.

The NJEDA Bonds require the Company to make an annual principal payment on September 1st of varying amounts as specified in the loan documents and semi-annual interest payments on March 1st and September 1st, equal to interest due on the outstanding principal at the applicable rate for the semi-annual period just ended.

The interest payments due on March 1, 2009, September 1, 2009, March 1, 2010, September 1, 2010, March 1, 2011 and September 1, 2011 totaling $120,775, $120,775, $113,075, $113,075, $113,075, and $113,075, respectively were paid from the debt service reserve held in the restricted cash account, due to the Company not having sufficient funds to make such payments when due.

The principal payment due on September 1, 2009, totaling $210,000 was paid from the debt service reserve held in the restricted cash account, due to the Company not having sufficient funds to make the payment when due.

The Company did not have sufficient funds available to make the principal payments due on September 1, 2011, totaling $470k, with such amount including the principal payments due on September 1, 2010 and not paid. There were not sufficient funds available in the debt service reserve and accordingly, the principal payment totaling $470k was not made.

Pursuant to the terms of the NJEDA Bonds, the Company is required to replenish any amounts withdrawn from the debt service reserve and used to make principal or interest payments in six monthly installments, each being equal to one-sixth of the amount withdrawn and with the first installment due on the 15th of the month in which the withdrawal from debt service reserve occurred and the remaining five monthly payments being due on the 15th of the five immediately subsequent months. The Company has, to date, made all payments required in relation to the withdrawals made from the debt service reserve on March 1, 2009, September 1, 2009, March 1, 2010, September 1, 2010, March 1, 2011 and September 1, 2011.

The Company does not expect to have sufficient available funds as of September 1, 2012, to make principal payments, totaling $730,000, and consisting of $260,000 due on September 1, 2012, $245,000 which was due on September 1, 2011 and not paid and $225,000 which was due on September 1, 2010 and not paid.

The Company has received Notice of Default from the Trustee of the NJEDA Bonds in relation to the withdrawals from the debt service reserve, and has requested a postponement of principal payments due on September 1st of 2010, 2011 and 2012, with an aggregate of all such postponed principal payments being added to the principal payments due on September 1, 2013. Resolution of the Company’s default under the NJED Bonds and our request for postponement of principal payments will have a significant effect on our ability to operate in the future.

F - 9

Due to issuance of a Notice of Default being received from the Trustee of the NJEDA Bonds, and until the event of default is waived or rescinded, the Company has classified the entire principal due, an amount aggregating $3.385 million, as a current liability.

PREFERRED STOCK DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

Accounting Standard Codification “ASC” 815 – Derivatives and Hedging, which provides guidance on determining what types of instruments or embedded features in an instrument issued by a reporting entity can be considered indexed to its own stock for the purpose of evaluating the first criteria of the scope exception in the pronouncement on accounting for derivatives. These requirements can affect the accounting for warrants and convertible preferred instruments issued by the Company. As the conversion features within, and the detachable warrants issued with the Company’s Series B, Series C, Series D and Series E Preferred Stock, do not have fixed settlement provisions because their conversion and exercise prices may be lowered if the Company issues securities at lower prices in the future, we have concluded that the instruments are not indexed to the Company’s stock and are to be treated as derivative liabilities.

Please note that on August 12, 2011, the Holders of in excess of 50% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Series B 8% Convertible Preferred Stock, par value US $0.01 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”), and shares of Series C 8% Convertible Preferred Stock, par value US $ 0.01 per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”), voting as one class (collectively the “Preferred Stock”), consented to amendments to the Amended Certificates of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock (the “Amended Certificates”). The Certificates of Designations for each of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock are the same in all respects except where specifically noted.

F - 10

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Certificates, the terms of the Series B Preferred and the Series C Preferred Stock have been amended as follows, with the amendment to the Conversion Price, as detailed below, resulting in a significant increase in the underlying common shares into which the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred may convert, and accordingly a significant effect on the preferred stock derivative liability related to the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock.

Dividends : The Preferred Stock continues to accrue dividends at the rate of 8% per annum on their stated value of US $1,000 per share, payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 and such rate shall not increase to 15% per annum as previously provided in the respective Certificates of Designations of the Preferred Stock.

Conversion Price : The conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock was reduced from $1.23 to $0.15 per share and the conversion price of the Series C Preferred Stock was reduced from $1.27 per share to $0.15 per share (subject to adjustments as provided in the Amended Certificates).

Automatic Monthly Conversions : On each Monthly Conversion Date (as defined below), a number of shares of the Preferred Stock equal to each Holder’s pro rata portion (based on the number of shares of Preferred Stock held by each Holder on August 1, 2011) of the Monthly Conversion Amount (as defined below) will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the then effective conversion price (each such conversion, a “Monthly Conversion”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be permitted to effect a Monthly Conversion on a Monthly Conversion Date unless (i) the Common Stock shall be listed or quoted for trading on a trading market, (ii) there is a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance of all Common Stock to be issued upon such Monthly Conversion, (iii) as to any Holder of the Preferred Stock, the issuance of shares will not cause a breach of the ownership limitations set forth in the Amended Certificates, (iv) if requested by a Holder of the Preferred Stock and a customary Rule 144 representation letter relating to all shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each Monthly Conversion is provided by such Holder after request from the Company, the shares of Common Stock issued upon such Monthly Conversion are delivered electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions(“DTC”), may be sold by such Holder pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act of 1933 and are otherwise free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions on such holder, (v) there has been no public announcement of a pending or proposed Fundamental Transaction or Change of Control Transaction (as such terms are defined in the Amended Certificates) that has not been consummated, (vi) the applicable Holder of Preferred Stock is not in possession of any information provided to such holder by the Company that constitutes material non-public information, and (vii) the average VWAP (as defined in the Amended Certificates) for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the applicable Monthly Conversion Date equals or exceeds the then effective conversion price of the Preferred stock. As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings: (i) “Monthly Conversion Date” means the first day of each month, commencing on September 1, 2011, and terminating on the date the Preferred Stock is no longer outstanding; (ii) “Monthly Conversion Amount” means an aggregate Stated Value of the Preferred Stock among all Holders that is equal to 35% of aggregate dollar trading volume of the Common Stock during the 20 Trading Days immediately prior to the applicable Monthly Conversion Date (such 20 Trading Day period, the “Measurement Period”), increasing to 50% of the aggregate dollar trading volume during the Measurement Period if the average VWAP during such Measurement Period equals or exceeds US $0.20 (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits and the like that occur after August 1, 2011) and further increasing to 70% of the aggregate dollar trading volume during such Measurement Period if the average VWAP during such Measurement Period equals or exceeds $0.25 (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits and the like that occur after August 1, 2011). All shares of Common Stock issued on a Monthly Conversion Date shall be delivered otherwise in accordance with the procedures and time frames set forth in Section 6 of the Amended Certificates. Upon the request of the Company, each Holder shall provide to the Company, a customary Rule 144 representation letter relating to all shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each Monthly Conversion. As of September 30, 2011, the Company does not meet certain of the requirements for Automatic Monthly Conversions.

Warrant Derivative Liabilities

The portion of derivative liabilities related to outstanding warrants was valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the following assumptions on the following dates:

FAIR VALUE OF WARRANT DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
	March 31 2011			June 30 2011			Sept 30 2011
Risk-Free interest rate		0.09% - 2.9	%		0.3% - 2.5	%		0.02% - 1.3	%
Expected volatility		138% - 194	%		153% - 217	%		133% - 196	%

Expected dividend yield		—			—			—
Number of warrants		155,325,048			154,334,659			154,153,308

Fair Value – Warrant Derivative Liability	$	10,543,145		$	24,126,576		$	13,629,540

Change in Warrant Derivative Liability	$	10,497,037	$	900,047	$	(3,086,393	)	$	2,723,747

The risk free interest rate was based on rates established by the US Treasury Department. The expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s share price for periods equal to the expected life of the outstanding warrants at each valuation date. The expected dividend rate was based on the fact that the Company has not historically paid dividends on common stock and does not expect to pay dividends on common stock in the future.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

COMPARED TO THE

THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010

(UNAUDITED)

The following discussion and analysis should be read with the financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011. It is intended to assist the reader in understanding and evaluating our financial position.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated herein contain “forward-looking statements”. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. When used in this Form 10-Q, statements that are not statements of current or historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “plan”, “intend”, “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe”, “could,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” or “continue” or similar expressions or other variations or comparable terminology are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q regarding our financial position, business strategy and plans or objectives for future operations are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the broader description of forward-looking statements above, we specifically note, without limitation, that statements regarding the preliminary nature of the clinical program results and the potential for further product development, that involve known and unknown risks, delays, uncertainties and other factors not under our control, the requirement of substantial future testing, clinical trials, regulatory reviews and approvals by the Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory authorities prior to the commercialization of products under development, and our ability to manufacture and sell any products, gain market acceptance, earn a profit from sales or licenses of any drugs or our ability to discover new drugs in the future, are all forward-looking in nature. These risks and other factors are discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Any reference to “Elite”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Registrant” refers to Elite Pharmaceuticals Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Overview

We are a specialty pharmaceutical company principally engaged in the development and manufacture of oral, controlled-release products, using proprietary know-how and technology. Our strategy includes improving off-patent drug products for life cycle management and developing generic versions of controlled-release drug products with high barriers to entry.

We have two products currently being sold commercially, as follows:

Phentermine 37.5mg tablets

Lodrane D® immediate release Brompheniramine/Pseudoephedrine capsules

We have also purchased two approved generic products: a generic hydromorphone product and a generic naltrexone product. The transfer of manufacturing processes for both such generic products from the facilities of the previous ANDA holders to our facilities in Northvale, New Jersey (the “Northvale Facility”), is currently on-going. The transfer to the Northvale Facility of the manufacturing process for generic hydromorphone was, however, significantly delayed, as a result of the Company being notified by the FDA of its reclassification of our CBE-30 supplement to a prior approval supplement. A similar significant delay in the transfer of the manufacturing process of generic naltrexone to the Northvale Facility is expected, as such transfer includes factors similar to those cited by the FDA as the reason for its reclassification of our CBE-30 supplement to a prior approval supplement. The transfer of the manufacturing processes of generic hydromorphone and naltrexone are prerequisites to the commercial launch of each generic product. The commercial launch of these generic products are material events to the Company and any delays in the launch of either or both of these generic products has a significant and adverse effect on the Company’s operation and results. A current report on Form 8-K was filed with the SEC on June 6, 2011 related to the reclassification of the Company’s CBE-30 supplement filed with FDA for the transfer of the manufacturing process of generic hydromorphone, with such filing being herein incorporated by reference.

Elite also executed a license agreement with Precision Dose, Inc. (the “Precision Dose Agreement”) and a manufacturing agreement with The PharmaNetwork LLC (the “TPN Agreement”). The Precision Dose Agreement provides for the marketing and distribution, in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada, of Phentermine 37.5mg tablets, generic hydromorphone, generic naltrexone and a certain additional product that had been filed for approval with the FDA. Phentermine 37.5mg tablets were launched in April 2011. The TPN Agreement, executed on June 23, 2011, provides for the manufacture and packaging by the Company of The PharmaNetwork’s methadone hydrochloride, 10mg tablets (“Methadone 10mg”), with the Methadone 10mg to be marketed by TPN’s wholly owned subsidiary, Ascend Laboratories, LLC. The FDA has approved the manufacturing of Methadone 10mg at the Northvale Facility and commercial launch of this product is expected during this fiscal year.

Elite has an undisclosed generic product filed with the FDA that we are awaiting review. This product is licensed to TAGI. One of the undisclosed generic products worked on under the Epic Strategic Alliance Agreement has also been filed with the FDA.

The Company also has a pipeline of additional generic drug candidates under active development.

Additionally, the Company is developing ELI-216, an abuse resistant oxycodone product, and ELI-154, a once-daily oxycodone product.

The Northvale Facility operates under Current Good Manufacturing Practice (“cGMP”) and is a United States Drug Enforcement Agency (“DEA”) registered facility for research, development and manufacturing.

Strategy

Elite is focusing its efforts on the following areas: (i) development of Elite’s pain management products, (ii) set up and launch of approved generic products; (iii) the development of the other products in our pipeline including the eight products pursuant to the Epic Strategic Alliance Agreement; (iv) commercial exploitation of our products either by license and the collection of royalties, or through the manufacture of our formulations, and (v) development of new products and the expansion of our licensing agreements with other pharmaceutical companies, including co-development projects, joint ventures and other collaborations.

Elite is focusing on the development of various types of drug products, including branded drug products which require new drug applications (“NDAs”) under Section 505(b)(1) or 505(b)(2) of the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (the “Drug Price Competition Act”) as well as generic drug products which require abbreviated new drug applications (“ANDAs”).

Elite believes that its business strategy enables it to reduce risk by having a diverse product portfolio that includes both branded and generic products in various therapeutic categories and to build collaborations and establish licensing agreements with companies with greater resources thereby allowing us to share costs of development and improve cash-flow.

Transfer of the manufacturing process of Naltrexone 50mg to the Northvale Facility is a prerequisite of the Company’s commercial launch of the product and is currently in process. However, please note that the completion of such transfer could be significantly delayed as it included factors similar to those cited by the FDA as the reason for its reclassification of the Company’s filings for the transfer of Hydromorphone 8mg. As a result of these probable delays in the transfer of the manufacturing process of Naltrexone 50mg, the Company has recorded an impairment of the Naltrexone 50mg ANDA in an amount equal to the entire purchase price of the acquisition. This impairment was recorded and is included in the Company’s audited financial statements as of March 31, 2011 and presented in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 29, 2011.

Discontinued Products - Lodrane 24® and Lodrane 24D®

On March 3, 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) announced its intention to remove approximately 500 cough/cold and allergy related products from the U.S. market. The once daily allergy products manufactured by Elite, Lodrane 24® and Lodrane 24D® (the “Lodrane® Extended Release Products”), were included in the FDA list of 500 products. After this announcement by the FDA, the Company’s customer for the Lodrane® Extended Release Products cancelled all outstanding orders and manufacturing of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products has ceased. The shipments made during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 consisted solely of quantities that were in production at the time ECR cancelled all outstanding orders. There were no shipments of the Lodrane Extended Release Products subsequent to those that were made during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

A Current Report on Form 8-K was filed with the SEC on March 4, 2011 in relation to this announcement by the FDA, such filing being herein incorporated by reference.

ECR (the owner and marketer of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products) initiated a formal approval process with the FDA in 2010 regarding the Lodrane® Extended Release Products and issued a press release on March 3, 2011 stating that they will continue to actively pursue approval for the Lodrane® Extended Release Products. In addition, on April 29, 2011, ECR filed a Petition for Review with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, petitioning such court to review and set aside the final order of the FDA with relation to the Lodrane® Extended Release Products.

The Lodrane® Extended Release Products were co-developed with our partner, ECR, and the Company was receiving revenues from the manufacture of the Lodrane® Products and laboratory stability study services, as well as royalties on in-market sales.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, Elite made its final shipments of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products. Elite’s revenues for the manufacturing these products for the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $251k and $1,334k, respectively. In addition, the Company sold to ECR, at cost without markup, all raw materials related to the manufacture of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products which remained in stock subsequent to the final shipment of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products. Revenues from the sale of these raw materials totaled approximately $221k. As manufacturing of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products has ceased, there will be no further manufacturing revenues derived from the Lodrane® Extended Release Products until such products receive the necessary approvals from the FDA. Please note that there can be no assurances that such approvals will be granted or that future manufacturing revenues will be earned by the Company from the manufacture of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products, should such approvals be granted by the FDA.

Royalties on in-market sales of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products earned during the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $225k and $351k, respectively. While Elite’s manufacturing of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products has ceased, the sale of such products in the US market are still permitted by the FDA until August 30, 2011. The Company earned royalties on any in-market sales that occurred up to that date.

Revenues from contract laboratory services for the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $75k and $141k, respectively. Contract laboratory services for the Lodrane® Extended Products will continue, on a residual basis, through the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, as such services consist of stability studies that must be performed over certain defined time periods. These revenues are expected to be significantly less than laboratory service revenues earned in prior periods.

Contract Manufacturing of Isradipine and Phendimetrazine

On June 1, 2011, Elite executed a Manufacturing and Supply Agreement (the “Isradipine/ Phendimetrazine Agreement”) with Mikah Pharma, LLC (“Mikah”) to undertake and perform certain services relating to two generic products: Isradipine Capsules USP, 2.5 mg and 5 mg (“Isradipine”) and Phendimetrazine Tartrate Tablets USP, 35 mg (“Phendimetrazine”), including (a) developing and preparing the documentation required for the transfer of the manufacturing process to Elite’s facility and the appropriate regulatory filing for the ANDA, and (b) manufacturing finished dosage forms appropriate for commercial sale, marketing and distribution in the United States, its territories, possessions, and commonwealths in accordance with the requirements of the Isradipine/ Phendimetrazine Agreement; Elite is required to perform, at its sole cost and expense, all Technology Transfer, validation and qualification services (including: equipment, methods and facility qualification), validation and stability services required by Applicable Laws to commence manufacturing Isradipine and Phendimetrazine for commercial sale by Mikah or its designees in accordance with the terms of the Isradipine/ Phendimetrazine Agreement.

Products Under Development

It is our general policy not to disclose products in our development pipeline or the status of such products until a product reaches a stage that we determine, for competitive reasons, in our discretion, to be appropriate for disclosure and because the disclosure of such information might suggest the occurrence of future matters or events that may not occur.

ELI-154 and ELI-216

ELI-154, a once-daily oxycodone formulation, was developed by Elite, using its proprietary technology. An investigational new drug application, or IND, has been filed and Elite has completed two pharmacokinetic studies in healthy subjects that compared blood levels of oxycodone from dosing ELI-154 and the twice-a-day product, OxyContin® marketed in the U.S. by Purdue Pharma LP. These studies confirmed that ELI-154, when compared to twice-daily delivery, demonstrated an equivalent onset, more constant blood levels of the drug over the 24 hour period and equivalent blood levels to the twice-a-day product at the end of 24 hours. Elite has successfully manufactured multiple batches on commercial scale equipment. We are looking for a partner who can complete the clinical studies required for Europe and who can sell and distribute the product in key European territories. An interested party was identified that would fund half of the clinical costs for Europe, however Elite is not able to find a way to fund the remaining costs at this time.

ELI-216 utilizes our patent-pending abuse-deterrent technology that is based on a pharmacological approach. ELI-216 is a combination of a narcotic agonist, oxycodone hydrochloride, in a sustained-release formulation intended for use in patients with moderate to severe chronic pain, and an antagonist, naltrexone hydrochloride, formulated to deter abuse of the drug. Both of these compounds, oxycodone hydrochloride and naltrexone hydrochloride, have been on the market for a number of years and sold separately in various dose strengths. Elite has filed an IND for the product and has tested the product in a series of pharmacokinetic studies. In single-dose studies for ELI-216, it was demonstrated that no quantifiable blood levels of naltrexone hydrochloride were released at a limit of quantification (“LOQ”) of 7.5 pg/ml. As described below, when crushed, naltrexone hydrochloride was released at levels that would be expected to eliminate the euphoria from the crushed oxycodone hydrochloride. This data is consistent with the premise of Elite’s abuse resistant technology, or ART, that essentially no naltrexone is released and absorbed when administered as intended. Products utilizing the pharmacological approach to deter abuse such as Suboxone®, a product marketed in the United States by Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Embeda®, a product marketed in the United States by King Pharmaceuticals, have been approved by the FDA and are being marketed in the United States.

ELI-216 demonstrates a euphoria-blocking effect when the product is crushed. A study completed in 2007 was designed to determine the optimal ratio of oxycodone hydrochloride and the opioid antagonist, naltrexone hydrochloride, to significantly block the euphoric effect of the opioid if the product is abused by physically altering it (i.e., crushing). The study also helped determine the appropriate levels of naltrexone hydrochloride required to reduce or eliminate the euphoria experienced by subjects who might take crushed product to achieve a “high”.

Elite has developed ELI-154 and ELI-216 and retains the rights to these products. Elite has currently chosen to develop these products itself but expects to license these products at a later date to a third party who could provide funding for the remaining clinical studies and who could provide sales and distribution for the product. The drug delivery technology underlying ELI-154 was originally developed under a joint venture with Elan which terminated in 2002.

According to the Elan Termination Agreement, Elite acquired all proprietary, development and commercial rights for the worldwide markets for the products developed by the joint venture, including ELI-154. Upon licensing or commercialization of ELI-154, Elite will pay a royalty to Elan pursuant to the Termination Agreement. If Elite were to sell the product itself, Elite will pay a 1% royalty to Elan based on the product’s net sales, and if Elite enters into an agreement with another party to sell the product, Elite will pay a 9% royalty to Elan based on Elite’s net revenues from this product. (Elite’s net product revenues would include license fees, royalties, manufacturing profits and milestones) Elite is allowed to recoup all development costs including research, process development, analytical development, clinical development and regulatory costs before payment of any royalties to Elan.

Epic Strategic Alliance Agreement

On March 18, 2009, Elite and Epic Pharma, LLC and Epic Investments, LLC, a subsidiary of Epic Pharma LLC (collectively, “Epic”) entered into the Epic Strategic Alliance Agreement (amended on April 30, 2009, June 1, 2009 and July 28, 2009). Epic is a pharmaceutical company that operates a business synergistic to that of Elite in the research and development, manufacturing and sales and marketing of oral immediate release and controlled-release drug products.

Under the Epic Strategic Alliance Agreement (i) at least eight additional generic drug products will be developed by Epic at the Northvale Facility with the intent of filing abbreviated new drug applications for obtaining FDA approval of such generic drugs, (ii) Elite will be entitled to 15% of the profits generated from the sales of such additional generic drug products upon approval by the FDA, and (iii) Epic and Elite will share certain resources, technology and know-how in the development of drug products, which Elite believes will benefit the continued development of its current drug products.

For additional information regarding the Epic Strategic Alliance Agreement, please see our disclosures under “Epic Strategic Alliance Agreement” in Item 7 of Part II of the Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in our Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on March 23, 2009, May 6, 2009 and June 5, 2009, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Novel's business strategy is to focus on its core strength in identifying and timely executing niche business opportunities in the generic pharmaceutical area. Elite owns approximately 10% of the outstanding shares of Class A Voting Common Stock of Novel. To date, Elite has received no distributions or dividends from this investment.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion addresses our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgment, including those related to bad debts, intangible assets, income taxes, workers compensation, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its Consolidated Financial Statements. Our most critical accounting policies include the recognition of revenue upon completion of certain phases of projects under research and development contracts. We also assess a need for an allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that we believe are more likely than not to be realized. We assess a need for allowances relating to the valuation of inventories. We assess the recoverability of long-lived assets and intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. We assess our exposure to current commitments and contingencies. It should be noted that actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Results of Consolidated Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2010

Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $274k a decrease of $721k or approximately 72% over revenues for the comparable period of the prior year, and consisted of $79k in manufacturing fees, $96k in lab and product development fees and $100k in royalties and license fees. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010, consisted of $767k in manufacturing fees, $57k in lab and product development fees, and $170k in royalties and license fees. Manufacturing fees decreased by approximately 90% due to the removal from the market of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products, pursuant to a directive from the FDA issued in March 2011. Please refer to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 4, 2011 for further details, with such filing being herein incorporated by reference. Lab and product development fees increased by approximately 67% due to product development fees earned from the Hi-Tech Development Agreement, offset by decreased revenues relating the discontinuance of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products. Royalties and license fees decreased by 41% due to the removal from the market of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products as of August 30, 2011, pursuant to the directive of the FDA issued in March 2011. In-market sales of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products were only permitted for two of the three months in the quarter ended September 30, 2011, as compared with a full quarter of sales occurring during the comparable period of the prior year.

Research and development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $198k, an increase of $48k or approximately 32% from $150k of such costs for the comparable period of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the shifting of personnel and operational resources from commercial manufacturing to product development as a result of the discontinuance of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011, were $477k, an increase of $98k, or approximately 26% from $379k of general and administrative expenses for the comparable period of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to overhead costs related to excess capacity at the Northvale Facility which has resulted from the discontinuance of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products, increased real estate taxes at the Northvale Facility and increased legal fees related to the conversion of Series B,C,D and E Preferred Shares to Common Shares and preparation of the preliminary and final proxy statements which were filed during the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $108k, an increase of $82k, or approximately 317%, from $26k for the comparable period of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to depreciation expense related to excess capacity at the Northvale Facility which has resulted from the discontinuance of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products.

Non-cash compensation through the issuance of stock options and warrants for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $6k, a decrease of $4k, or approximately 41% from $10k for the comparable period of the prior year. The decrease was due to the timing of the amortization schedule established at the time of issuance of the related stock options and warrants.

As a result of the foregoing, our loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $592k, compared to a loss from operations of $137k for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $14,511k, an increase in other income of $12,509k from the net other income of $2,002k for the comparable period of the prior year. The increase in other income was due to derivative income relating to changes in the fair value of our preferred shares and outstanding warrants during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 totaling $14,693k, as compared to a net derivative income of $2,405k for the comparable period of the prior year. Please note that derivative income/(expenses) are most significantly determined by the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as of the end of each annual or quarterly reporting period, with incomes being generated by decreases in such closing price and expenses being incurred by increases in such closing price. The closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as of September 30, 2011 was $0.10, as compared to a closing price of $0.17 as of June 30, 2011. This decrease in the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock was a significant factor in the derivative income recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

As a result of the foregoing, our net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $13,919k, compared to a net income of $1,864k for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Non-cash compensation through the issuance of stock options and warrants for the six months ended September 30, 2011 was $12k, a decrease of $13k, or approximately 52% from $26k for the comparable period of the prior year. The decrease was due to the timing of the amortization schedule established at the time of issuance of the related stock options and warrants.

As a result of the foregoing, our loss from operations for the six months ended September 30, 2011 was $928k, compared to a loss from operations of $231k for the six months ended September 30, 2010.

Other expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2011 were a net expense of $15,883k, an increase in other income expenses of $13,213k from the net other expenses of $2,671k for the comparable period of the prior year. The increase in other expenses was due to derivative expenses relating to changes in the fair value of our preferred shares and outstanding warrants during the six months ended September 30, 2011 totaling $15,501k, as compared to a net derivative expense of $1,845k for the comparable period of the prior year. Please note that derivative income/(expenses) are most significantly determined by the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as of the end of each annual or quarterly reporting period, with incomes being generated by decreases in such closing price and expenses being incurred by increases in such closing price. The closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as of September 30, 2011 was $0.10, as compared to a closing price of $0.08 as of March 31, 2011. This increase in the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock was a significant factor in the derivative expenses recorded during the six months ended September 30, 2011.

As a result of the foregoing, our net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2011 was $16,814k, compared to a net loss of $2,905k for the six months ended September 30, 2010.

Material Changes in Financial Condition

Our working capital (total current assets less total current liabilities), decreased to a deficit of $2.4 million as of September 30, 2011 from a working capital deficit of $1.5 million as of March 31, 2011, primarily due to our net loss from operations, exclusive of non-cash charges. In addition, it should be noted that current liabilities includes the entire principal amount due on the Company’s NJEDA Bonds Payable. This amount, totaling $3.4 million has been classified as a current liability as a result of the Company receiving a notice of default from the Trustee of the NJ-EDA Bonds. Please refer to Note 5 to our financial statements and Item 3 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for further details.

Net cash used by operations was $230k for the six months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to our net loss from continuing operations of $16,814k, offset by non-cash charges totaling $16,585k, which included, without limitation, depreciation and amortization of $245k, expense from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $15,501k, derivative interest payments satisfied through the issuance of common shares in lieu of cash of $425k, non cash compensation satisfied by the issuance of common stock and options of $12k, decreases in inventories of $234k, decreases in accounts receivable of $319k and increases in accounts payable and other current liabilities of $1k.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Going concern considerations

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2.4 million, losses from operations totaling $0.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011, other expenses totaling $15.9 million for the six months ended and a net loss of $16.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011. Please note that the Company’s other income/(expenses) are significantly influenced by the fluctuations in the fair value of outstanding preferred share and warrant derivatives, and that such fair values strongly correlate to and vary inversely with the market share price of the Company’s Common Stock.

The Company does not anticipate being profitable for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012.

Revenues and operating profits for the foreseeable future are expected to be significantly and adversely effected by the FDA removal of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products from the market. The Lodrane® Extended Release Products, which constituted approximately 97% of the Company’s revenues in the periods immediately preceding the six month period ended September 30, 2011, were included on a list of approximately 500 cough/cold and allergy products which are being removed from the U.S. market pursuant to a directive from the FDA. Please refer to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 4, 2011 and the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 29, 2011 for further details, such filings being herein incorporated by reference.

In addition, the Company has received Notice of Default from the Trustee of the NJEDA Bonds as a result of the utilization of the debt service reserve being used to pay interest payments due on March 1, 2009, September 1, 2009, March 1, 2010, September 1, 2010, March 1, 2011, and September 1, 2011 totaling $121k, $121k, $113k, $113k, $113k and $113k, respectively, and principal payments due on September 1, 2009 totaling $210k. The debt service reserve was utilized to make such payments as a result of the Company’s not having sufficient funds available to make such payments when due.

The Company did not have sufficient funds available to make the principal payments due on September 1, 2011, totaling $470k, with such amount inclusive of the principal payments due on September 1, 2010 and not paid. There was not sufficient funds available in the debt service reserve and accordingly, the principal payments totaling $470k were not made.

Please refer to Note 5 to our financial statements and Item 3 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for a more detailed discussion of the NJEDA Bonds and Notice of Default.

As of September 30, 2011, we had cash reserves of $1.3 million. The completion of all transactions contemplated by the Epic Strategic Alliance agreement is expected to provide additional funds to permit us to continue development our product pipeline. Despite the successful completion of the initial, second and third closings of the Epic Strategic Alliance Agreement, and the first three of a total of twelve quarterly payments of $62,500 each, there can be no assurances that we will be able to consummate the remaining nine quarterly payments due under the Epic Strategic Alliance Agreement. If such transactions are consummated, we will receive additional cash proceeds of $0.5625 million. Even if we were to receive the remaining nine quarterly payments due pursuant to the Epic Strategic Alliance Agreement, we still may be required to seek additional capital in the future and there can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain such additional capital on favorable terms, if at all. For additional information regarding the Epic Strategic Alliance Agreement, please see our disclosures under “Epic Strategic Alliance Agreement” in Item 7 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in our Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on March 23, 2009, May 6, 2009, June 5, 2009, July 1, 2010 and June 29, 2011, which disclosures are incorporated herein by reference.

Furthermore, with regards to our product pipeline, please note that significant delays in the commercialization of Hydromorphone 8mg and Naltrexone 50mg are expected as a result of the a recent notification received from the FDA reclassifying to a Prior Approval Supplement, the Company’s Changes Being Effected in 30 Days Supplement (“CBE-30”) related to a change the manufacturing and packaging site of Hydromorphone 8mg. Please refer to the current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 6, 2011 and Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 29, 2011 for further details, with such filings being herein incorporated by reference.

Based upon our current cash position, management has undertaken a review of our operations and implemented cost-cutting measures in an effort to eliminate any expenses which are not deemed critical to our current strategic objectives. We will continue this process without impeding our ability to proceed with our critical strategic goals, which, as noted above, include developing our pain management and other products and manufacturing our current products.

For the six months ended September 30, 2011, we sustained a negative cash flow from operations of approximately $0.2 million, compared with a positive cash flow from operations of approximately $355k being achieved during the comparable period in the prior year. Our working capital deficit at September 30, 2011 was approximately $2.4 million compared with working capital deficit of approximately $2.6 million at September 30, 2010. Please note that the working capital deficits include the entire principal amount due in relation to the NJEDA Bonds. This amount, totaling $3.4 million is classified as a current liability due to the Notice of Default received from the Trustee in relation to the NJEDA Bonds. Please refer to Note 5 to our financial statements and Item 3 of this current report on Form 10-Q for a more detailed discussion of the NJEDA Bonds and Notice of Default.

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2011, were approximately $1.3 million, an increase of approximately $0.7 million from the approximately $0.6 million at September 30, 2010.

As of September 30, 2011, our principal source of liquidity was approximately $1.3 million of cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, we may have access to funds through the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants. There can be no assurance that the exercise of outstanding warrants or options will generate or provide sufficient cash.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that would be considered material to investors.

Effects of Inflation

We are subject to price risks arising from price fluctuations in the market prices of the products that we sell. Management does not believe that inflation risk is material to our business or our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Not applicable

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were not effective so that that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management in order to allow for timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

Management has determined that, as of September 30, 2011, there were material weaknesses in both the design and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures are related to the lack of segregation of duties due to the size of our accounting department, which replaced an outside accounting firm and non-employee Chief Financial Officer on July 1, 2009, and limited enterprise resource planning systems. When our financial position improves, we intend to hire additional personnel and implement enterprise resource planning systems required to remedy such deficiencies.

Changes in Internal Controls

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15 (f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of business we may be subject to litigation from time to time. There is no past, pending or, to our knowledge, threatened litigation or administrative action to which we are a party or of which our property is the subject (including litigation or actions involving our officers, directors, affiliates, or other key personnel, or holders of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or any associate of any such party) which in our opinion has, or is expected to have, a material adverse effect upon our business, prospects, financial condition or operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes from the Risk Factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, we issued 11,415,543 shares of Common Stock to the holders of our Series B, C, and E Preferred Stock. Of this amount, 952,686 shares were issued in satisfaction of our obligation to pay $142,805 in dividends earned and/or owing during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, and 10,462,857 shares were issued pursuant to the conversion of Series B Preferred Share derivatives, Series C Preferred Share derivatives and Series E Preferred Share derivatives, with such derivative liabilities being valued at an aggregate of $1,086,039 at the time of their conversion. We did not receive any proceeds in exchange for the issuance of these securities. We relied on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 to issue the common stock The securities were offered and sold without any form of general solicitation or general advertising and the offerees made representations that they were accredited investors.
