CALYPTE BIOMEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

(1) The Company

Calypte Biomedical Corporation (the “Company”) develops, manufactures, and distributes in vitro diagnostic tests, primarily for the diagnosis of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (“HIV”) infection. Until late 2005, we manufactured and marketed urine-based HIV-1 diagnostic screening tests and urine and blood-based Western Blot supplemental (sometimes called “confirmatory”) tests for use in high-volume laboratories, which we call our “Legacy Business.” In November 2005, we sold our Legacy Business and began to concentrate primarily on our rapid test platform products which we began developing in 2003. Our emphasis has been the development and commercialization of our AwareTM HIV-1/2 rapid tests. We have completed field trials and product evaluations of our AwareTM HIV-1/2 OMT (oral fluid) rapid test covering an aggregate of over 8,000 samples in China, India, South Africa and elsewhere and believe that the results of these studies and evaluations have validated the test. In our studies, AwareTM HIV-1/2 OMT averaged 99.7% accuracy. We have obtained regulatory approvals in Russia, India and China as well as a number of key countries in Africa, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Sales of our rapid test products have so far been primarily through the efforts of our distributors in South Africa and the United Arab Emirates (“U.A.E”).

Since late 2004, we have been manufacturing and selling an HIV-1 BED Incidence EIA test, our AwareTM BED Incidence Test, through an arrangement with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the “CDC”).

In the first quarter of 2008, we introduced Aware MessengerTM, our oral fluid sample collection device. Although we do not currently have approval to sell this device for diagnostic purposes, we can sell it for “research use only” in situations where assay developers and test laboratories can qualify the product for use with their own assays.

Until July 2010, we were the 51% owner of each of two joint ventures in China, Beijing Calypte Biomedical Technology Ltd. (“Beijing Calypte”) and Beijing Marr Bio-Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Marr”). In July 2010 we entered into a series of agreements providing for (i) the restructuring of our outstanding indebtedness to Marr and SF Capital (the “Debt Agreement”) and (ii) the transfer of our interests in the two Chinese joint ventures, Beijing Marr and Beijing Calypte, to Kangplus (the “Equity Agreement”). Under the Debt Agreement, the parties agreed to convert $6,393,353 in outstanding indebtedness to 152,341,741 shares of our common stock, and our remaining indebtedness to Marr, totaling $3,000,000 was cancelled. In consideration for such debt restructuring, we transferred our equity interests in Beijing Marr to Kangplus pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement and transferred certain related technology to Beijing Marr. We have also agreed to transfer our equity interests in Beijing Calypte to Marr or a designate of its choosing. The transactions contemplated by the Debt Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreement were subject to Chinese government registration of the transfer of the equity interests; this registration has now been approved. Under the debt agreement with SF Capital, $2,008,259 in outstanding indebtedness was converted to 47,815,698 shares of our common stock.

During the third quarter of 2011, we incurred a net loss of $0.2 million. At September 30, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $3.0 million and our stockholders’ deficit was $4.9 million. Our cash balance at September 30, 2011 was $0.1 million.

A private investor advanced $60,000 to us during the third quarter of 2011. Subsequent to September 30, 2011 and through January 27, 2012, we have received an additional $245,000 in shareholder advances in anticipation of entering into future subscription agreements. We are using the proceeds of these investments for general working capital purposes.

As announced in March 2011, we successfully completed internal trials of our new AWARETM 2 HIV-1/2 oral fluid rapid test, which showed an accuracy of 100%. Based on these promising results, we have contacted the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and started the process to conduct clinical trials. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, in October 2011, we entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MoU”) with a private investor to secure funding needed to initiate the FDA approval procedures for the new AWARETM 2 product. The MoU contemplates an initial investment of at least $1,000,000 through 2012, contingent upon the Company following an agreed upon budget plan, and potentially up to $4,000,000 from additional investors. Although the MoU expresses the expectation of the parties that the investor will assist us in raising an additional $4 million from other investors, no party is under a contractual obligation to invest any funds beyond the $1 million to be invested pursuant to the MoU, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the additional funds.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and they reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2011 and the consolidated results of our operations and our consolidated cash flows for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2011. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from our audited financial statements at that date. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future interim period. This information should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2010 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 27, 2011.

Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) has been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The data disclosed in these condensed consolidated financial statements and in the related notes is unaudited.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are comprised of property and equipment and intangible assets. We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. At least annually, we compare an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by the asset, or by the appropriate grouping of assets, to the carrying value to determine whether impairment exists. If an asset is determined to be impaired, we measure the loss based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, we estimate the fair value based on various valuation techniques, including a discounted value of estimated future cash flow and fundamental analysis. We report an asset to be disposed of at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated net realizable value.

Revenue Recognition

We record revenues only upon the occurrence of all of the following conditions:

	•	We have received a binding purchase order or similar commitment from the customer or distributor authorized by a representative empowered to commit the purchaser (evidence of a sale).
	•	The purchase price has been fixed, based on the terms of the purchase order.
	•	We have delivered the product from our manufacturing plant to a common carrier acceptable to the purchaser. Our customary shipping terms are FOB shipping point. Because of the need for controlled conditions during shipment, we suggest, but leave to the purchaser’s discretion, acquiring insurance for the value of the shipment. If the purchaser elects to insure the shipment, the insurance is at the purchaser’s expense.
	•	We deem the collection of the amount invoiced probable. To eliminate the credit risk associated with international distributors with whom we have had little or no experience, we require prepayment of all or a substantial portion of the order or a letter of credit before shipment.

Except in the event of verified product defect, we do not permit product returns. Our products must be maintained under rigidly controlled conditions that we cannot control after the product has been shipped to the customer.

We provide no price protection. Subject to the conditions noted above, we recognize revenue upon shipment of product.

Royalty Revenue

Royalty Revenue is recognized upon receipt of the semi-annual royalty data from the licensee, as designated in the royalty agreement, and when collectability is assured.

Segment and Geographic Information

Our operations are currently focused on the development and sale of HIV diagnostics. The following table summarizes our product sales revenues by product for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

	Three months ended					Nine months ended
	September 30,					September 30,
	2011			2010		2011		2010

AwareTM BEDTM HIV-1 Incidence Test	$	(2	)	$	78	$	238	$	201
AwareTM Rapid HIV diagnostic tests		41			44		94		88
All other		12			3		39		27
Revenue from product sales	$	51		$	125	$	371	$	316

Revenue from raw material sourcing	$	56		$	-	$	134	$	-

Total Revenue	$	107			125	$	505	$	316

Sales to international customers accounted for approximately 93% and 58% of our revenues in the third quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Three customers accounted for approximately 99% of our third quarter 2011 revenue. Four customers accounted for approximately 69% of our third quarter 2010 revenue.

International sales accounted for approximately 82% and 60% of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30 of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Four customers accounted for approximately 66% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Five customers accounted for approximately 58% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Net Loss Per Share

We compute basic net loss per share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. The computation of diluted loss per common share is similar to the computation of basic net loss per share, except that the denominator is increased for the assumed conversion of convertible securities and the exercise of options and warrants, to the extent they are dilutive, using the treasury stock method. The weighted average number of shares used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share are the same for the periods presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Outstanding options and warrants for 6,175,001 shares were excluded from the computation of loss per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, as their effect are anti-dilutive.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us 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 the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

We made certain reclassifications to prior-period amounts to conform to the third quarter 2011 financial statements presentation.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

We measure stock-based compensation at the grant date based on the award’s fair value and recognize the expense ratably over the requisite vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures, for all stock-based awards granted after January 1, 2006 and all stock based awards granted prior to, but not vested as of, January 1, 2006.

We have elected to calculate the fair value of option awards based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires various assumptions, including expected option life and volatility. If we significantly change any of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model or the estimated forfeiture rate, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2010, the FASB issued guidance on applying the milestone method of revenue recognition for milestone payments for achieving specific performance measures when those payments are related to uncertain future events. The guidance is effective on a prospective basis to milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning January 1, 2011. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued guidance to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This guidance amends current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to include increased transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance regarding presentation of other comprehensive income in the financial statements. This guidance will eliminate the option under GAAP to present other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity. Under the guidance, the Company will have the option to present the components of net income and comprehensive income in either one or two consecutive financial statements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

(3) Discontinued Operations

As previously mentioned in Note 1, in July 2010 we entered into a series of agreements providing for (i) the restructuring of our outstanding indebtedness to Marr and SF Capital and (ii) the transfer of our ownership interests in the two Chinese joint ventures, Beijing Marr and Beijing Calypte, to Kangplus and to Marr or its designate, respectively. As such, we have classified accounts related to the two consolidated Chinese joint ventures as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

8% Secured Convertible Notes

On April 4, 2005, we concluded a private placement to five institutional investors of $8,000,000 of Secured 8% Convertible Notes originally due April 3, 2007 (the “Convertible Notes”) and subsequently extended to April 3, 2009. The Convertible Notes provide for quarterly interest to be paid in cash, or subject to certain conditions, by issuing additional Convertible Notes maturing on April 3, 2009 (the “Interest Notes”). From July 4, 2005 through April 3, 2009 we issued Interest Notes in an aggregate face amount of $1,962,000 in payment of quarterly interest.

As discussed in Note 3 in July 2010 we entered into a series of agreements providing for (i) the restructuring of our outstanding indebtedness to Marr and SF Capital (the “Debt Agreement”) and (ii) the transfer of our interests in the two Chinese joint ventures, Beijing Marr and Beijing Calypte, to Kangplus (the “Equity Agreement”). Under the Debt Agreement, the parties agreed to convert $6,393,353 in outstanding indebtedness to 152,341,741 shares of our common stock, and our remaining indebtedness to Marr, totaling $3,000,000 was cancelled. In consideration for such debt restructuring, we transferred our equity interests in Beijing Marr to Kangplus pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement and transferred certain related technology to Beijing Marr. We have also agreed to transfer our equity interests in Beijing Calypte to Marr or a designate of its choosing. The transactions contemplated by the Debt Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreement were subject to Chinese government registration of the transfer of the equity interests; this registration has now been approved. Under the debt agreement with SF Capital, $2,008,259 in outstanding indebtedness was converted to 47,815,698 shares of our common stock.

On January 28, 2011, we entered into a subscription agreement with David Khidasheli pursuant to which Mr. Khidasheli agreed to purchase 16,666,666 shares of our common stock (the “Shares”) at a purchase price of $0.03 per share, for a total purchase price of $500,000, which Mr. Khidasheli had advanced to us in 2010. On February 15, 2011, we entered into a subscription agreement with Carolina Lupascu pursuant to which Ms. Lupascu agreed to purchase 6,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Shares”) at a purchase price of $0.03 per share, for a total purchase price of $180,000, which Ms. Lupascu had advanced to us in 2010. The Shares were issued pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The subscription agreements contain customary representations and warranties by Mr. Khidasheli and Ms. Lupascu regarding their status as non-U.S. persons, their investment intent and restrictions on transfer. Mr. Khidasheli and Ms. Lupascu was granted certain piggy-back registration rights which require us to use our best efforts to register all or a portion of the Shares on the next registration statement we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act. We used the proceeds of the private placement for general working capital purposes.

From January 1 through September 30, 2011, Mr. Khidasheli advanced $252,000 to the Company in anticipation of entering into future subscription agreements. We are using the proceeds of these investments for general working capital purposes.

Warrants

At September 30, 2011, we had warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 3,125,001 shares of our common stock at a weighted average price of $0.078 per share, as summarized in the following table:

(8) Share Based Payments

We maintain stock compensation plans for our employees and directors, which are described in Note 11, Share Based Payments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 27, 2011. We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, as codified in FASB ASC topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), effective January 1, 2006. ASC 718 requires that we recognize the fair value of stock compensation, including stock options, in our statement of operations. We recognize the stock compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which is generally the same as the vesting period of the grant. All of our stock compensation is accounted for as an equity instrument.

We did not grant any options to employees or members of our Board of Directors during the first three quarters of 2011 or 2010. Under the provisions of ASC 718, we have recorded approximately ($2,000) of stock based employee compensation expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. We have assumed an annual pre-vesting forfeiture rate of 7.75% in determining our stock compensation expense. In determining the inputs to the Black-Scholes option valuation model, we have assumed a dividend yield of zero since we have never paid cash dividends and have no present intention to do so. We estimate volatility based upon the historical volatility of our common stock over a period generally commensurate with the expected life of the options. We determine the risk-free interest rate based on the quoted U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity Rate for a security having a comparable term at the time of the grant. To date, we have calculated the expected term of option grants using the simplified method prescribed by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 for “plain vanilla” options. We have historically granted options having a ten year contractual term to our employees and directors.

The following table summarizes option activity for all of our stock option plans from December 31, 2010 through September 30, 2011:

			Weighted		Weighted		Aggregate
			Average		Average		Intrinsic
			Exercise		Remaining		Value at
			Price per		Contractual		Date
	Options		Share		Term (years)		Indicated

Options outstanding at December 31, 2010		3,050,000	$	0.112		6.87	$	0
Options granted		-		-
Options exercised		-		-
Options forfeited		-		-
Options expired		-		-
Options outstanding at September 30, 2011		3,050,000	$	0.112		6.12	$	0
Options vested and exercisable at December 31, 2010		3,050,000	$	0.112		6.87	$	0
Options vested and exercisable at September 30, 2011		3,050,000	$	0.112		6.12	$	0

The aggregate intrinsic value is the sum of the amounts by which the quoted market price of our common stock at the date indicated exceeded the exercise price of the options (“in-the-money-options”). At September 30, 2011, the market price of our stock was $0.015 per share, and none of our options were in-the-money. No options were exercised in the nine month period ending September 30, 2011.

The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding under all of our option plans at September 30, 2011:

	Options Outstanding						Options Exercisable
Range of Exercise Prices	Number Outstanding		Weighted Average Remaining Years to Expiration		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Number Exercisable		Weighted Average Exercise Price

$0.11		3,000,000		6.16	$	0.110		3,000,000	$	0.110
$0.23		50,000		3.57	$	0.230		50,000	$	0.230
		3,050,000		6.12	$	0.112		3,050,000	$	0.112

We did not record any income tax benefits for stock-based compensation arrangements for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, as we have cumulative operating losses and have established full valuation allowances for our income tax benefits.

(9) Related Party Transactions

Until July 2010, we were the 51% owner of each of two joint ventures in China, Beijing and Beijing Marr. In July 2010 we entered into a series of agreements providing for (i) the restructuring of our outstanding indebtedness to Marr and SF Capital and (ii) the transfer of our interests in the two Chinese joint ventures, Beijing Marr and Beijing Calypte, to Kangplus. Under the Debt Agreement, the parties agreed to convert $6,393,353 in outstanding indebtedness to 152,341,741 shares of our common stock, and our remaining indebtedness to Marr, totaling $3,000,000, was cancelled. As of September 30, 2011, the common stock had not yet been issued and we have recorded a liability to related party in our consolidated balance sheet for $914,000. In consideration for such debt restructuring, we transferred our equity interests in Beijing Marr to Kangplus pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement and transferred certain related technology to Beijing Marr. We have also agreed to transfer our equity interests in Beijing Calypte to Marr or a designate of its choosing. The transactions contemplated by the Debt Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreement were subject to Chinese government registration of the transfer of the equity interests. This registration has now been approved. Under the debt agreement with SF Capital, $2,008,259 in outstanding indebtedness was converted to 47,815,698 shares of our common stock.

In the agreement with Beijing Marr, we agreed to continue to buy raw materials for them and provide them with technical support. We did not purchase any raw materials for Beijing Marr in the third quarter of 2011.

From January 1, 2011 through January 27, 2012, one investor has advanced a total of $497,000 to the Company. These advances are intended for future subscription agreements.

(10) Subsequent Events

Subsequent to September 30, 2011 and through the date of this filing, we have received an aggregate of $245,000 in advances from existing investors in anticipation of entering into subscription agreements. We are using the proceeds of these investments for general working capital purposes.

In October 2011, we entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MoU”) with a private investor to secure funding needed to initiate the FDA approval procedures for the new AWARETM 2 product. The MoU contemplates an initial investment of at least $1,000,000 through 2012, contingent upon the Company following an agreed upon budget plan, and potentially up to $4,000,000 from additional investors. Although the MoU expresses the expectation of the parties that the investor will assist us in raising an additional $4 million from other investors, no party is under a contractual obligation to invest any funds beyond the $1 million to be invested pursuant to the MoU, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the additional funds.

We have evaluated all other subsequent events through the date of this filing, and determined that there are no other material recognized or unrecognized subsequent events.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements regarding our future plans, regulatory reviews and approvals, timing, strategies, expectations, anticipated expense levels, projected profitability, business prospects and positioning with respect to market, demographic and pricing trends, business outlook and various other matters (including contingent liabilities and obligations and changes in accounting policies, standards and interpretations) and expresses our current intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies or predictions. These forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions and currently available information and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.

Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of terms such as “anticipate,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “should” or similar expressions. Although we believe that the bases of the assumptions on which the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate given the inherent uncertainties as to the occurrence or nonoccurrence of future events. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including the potential risks and uncertainties set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and Item 1A of Part II below and relate to our business plan, our business strategy, development of our proprietary technology and our products, timing of such development, timing of FDA and international regulatory reviews, market acceptance of our products by governmental and other public health agencies, health care providers and consumers, characteristics and growth of our market and customers, protection of our intellectual property, implementation of our strategic, operating and human resources initiatives, benefits to be derived from key personnel and directors, our ability to commercialize our products, our ability to obtain an increased market share in the diagnostic test market, our assumptions regarding cash flow from operations and cash on-hand, the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure, implementation of marketing and distribution channels, our distribution agreements and strategic alliances, our liquidity and capital resources, our ability to obtain additional capital as, and when, needed, and on acceptable terms, changes in health care policy in the United States or abroad and general economic conditions specific to our industry, any of which could impact sales, costs and expenses and/or planned strategies and timing. If we are not able to generate sufficient liquidity from operations and current potential resources or are unable to raise sufficient additional capital, this could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, and we may be required to discontinue operations altogether. We assume no obligation to, and do not currently intend to, update these forward-looking statements.

Overview

During the third quarter of 2011, we continued to focus on our research and development operations, and building upon the promising results of the completed internal trials of our new AWARETM 2 HIV-1/2 oral fluid rapid test, which showed an accuracy of 100%. We have contacted the FDA and started the process to conduct clinical trials.

Our ability to obtain a small stream of funding through private placements of common stock has enabled us to continue our operations. As discussed in Note 10 "Subsequent Events" in the financial statements, on October 10, 2011, we entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MoU”) with a private investor to secure funding needed to initiate the FDA approval procedures for our new AWARETM 2 product. The MoU contemplates an initial investment of at least $1,000,000 through 2012, contingent upon the Company following an agreed upon budget plan, and potentially up to $4,000,000 from additional investors. Although the MoU expresses the expectation of the parties that the investor will assist us in raising an additional $4 million from other investors, no party is under a contractual obligation to invest any funds beyond the $1 million to be invested pursuant to the MoU, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the additional funds. Based on our revised revenue and expense forecasts, we anticipate that we will be required to raise additional financing beyond the initial $1 million from the MOU in order to fully fund our efforts to obtain FDA approval of our AWARETM 2 product.

During the third quarter of 2011, we saw a 14% decrease in revenue, compared to the third quarter of 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we saw a 61% increase in revenue, compared to the same period in 2010. We remain focused on our strategy of increasing marketing and sales in a subset of countries where our products are registered, seeking additional product registrations in countries where we have a high likelihood of making sales, developing new products for the western markets and keeping our operating costs low. We also continue to make fresh batches of AwareTM HIV-1/2 OMT rapid tests, and recognized $41,325 of related revenue in the third quarter of 2011, a 7% decrease from the same period of 2010.

Outlook

We believe the demand for fast, easy-to-use HIV tests is strong and growing. By many accounts, governments are requiring more testing for HIV and allocating more funds to such testing, and non-governmental organizations and charities have increased their funding for HIV testing too. Although we believe that we will be able to increase market acceptance of our products and our market position, there are external factors that could adversely affect demand for our products, including global economic conditions that affect funding for HIV testing and national policies regarding HIV testing adopted by foreign governments.

In order to accomplish our business plan and meet our financial obligations, we must:

Reduce accounts payable and other debt and associated fixed costs.

Increase marketing and sales of our current products through our distribution network.

Conduct a successful clinical trial for our AWARETM 2 product.

In 2012, we remain focused on our strategy of increasing marketing and sales in the countries where our products are registered, seeking additional product registrations in countries where we have a high likelihood of making sales, planning for the clinical trials of AWARETM 2 and keeping our operating costs low.

Financial Considerations

Our consolidated operating cash burn for the first nine months of 2011 was approximately $243,000, compared to $629,000 in the first nine months of 2010. Our focus in the third quarter of 2011 was on keeping a minimal level of operations and making incremental progress on new products as well as continuing to successfully produce new batches of our existing products.

During the first nine months of 2011, we incurred a net loss of $437,000. At September 30, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $3.0 million, and our stockholders’ deficit was $4.9 million. Our cash balance at September 30, 2011 was approximately $73,000. We received $245,000 in additional advances from one investor after September 30, 2011.

We currently have 800,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, of which approximately 765,720,130 shares are issued and outstanding or reserved for issuance under current financing arrangements and our incentive plans. At the current market price of our common stock, we do not have sufficient authorized common stock to raise the capital necessary to execute our long-term business plan and achieve self-sustaining cash flow. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to bad debts, inventories, impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets, income taxes, restructuring costs, derivative and anti-dilution liabilities and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe 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.

Consistent with our policy on impairment of long-lived assets, given the September 30, 2011 operating loss, the carrying values of Calypte long-lived assets were compared against the undiscounted cash flows of the entity over the remaining useful life of the primary assets. Cash flow projections were based on a combination of historical run-rates and future projections, depending on the markets where the products were registered and the related distribution channels, as well as product in the development phase. We concluded that no impairment was required.

The critical accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 have not changed materially up to January 27, 2012.

Three Months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

Our revenue from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2011 totaled $107,000 compared with $124,000 for the third quarter of 2010, a decrease of $17,000. This decrease was primarily due to decreased sales of our AwareTM BED Incidence Test and AwareTM OMT HIV-1/2 rapid test, offset by increased sales of raw materials to Beijing Marr. Sales of our AwareTM BED Incidence Test accounted for (2%) of our sales in the third quarter of 2011, compared with 62% in the third quarter of 2010. The decrease was primarily due to sales returns that occurred during the third quarter of 2011, and are expected to be replaced by sales in future quarters. In general, such sales tend to be irregular as public health and research institutions begin or conclude various studies to monitor the incidence of HIV infection within their subject populations. Sales of our AwareTM OMT HIV-1/2 rapid tests accounted for 38% and 35% of our sales in the third quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Third quarter 2011 revenues from the sale of our rapid tests decrease by 7% compared with rapid test revenues in the third quarter of 2010. Because of the nature of the product and the fact that we are still commercializing it, sales tend to be irregular as we gain approvals for and begin distribution of those tests in various parts of the world.

We reported gross margins of 75% in the third quarter of 2011 and 38% in the third quarter of 2010. The margins we reported in both 2011 and 2010, however, are not typical of our expected future results because of the relatively small amounts of revenues and product quantities over which certain fixed expenses, like annual royalty minimum payments, have been allocated.

Research and development costs increased by $16,000, from $69,000 in the third quarter of 2010 to $85,000 in the third quarter of 2011, as we continue to ramp our research and development department back up. Research and development costs consist of salary and benefits as well as consulting and clinical investigation expenses.

Selling, general and administrative costs of our continuing operations decreased by $40,000, or 16%, from $253,000 in the third quarter of 2010 to $213,000 in the third quarter of 2011. This decrease was primarily due to reduced consulting and professional fee expenses.

The following table summarizes the components of interest expense (in thousands):

	Three Months ended September 30,
	2011			2010
Non-cash income (expense) composed of:
Accrued interest on 4% Note Payable		-			(1	)

A preferred stock

Total non-cash items		(30	)		(31	)
Total interest expense	$	(30	)	$	(31	)

We recorded net interest expense of $30,000 for the third quarter of 2011 compared with $31,000 of net interest expense in the third quarter of 2010.

Our loss from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2011 was $242,000, compared to income from continuing operations of $10,488,000 reported for the third quarter of 2010. This decrease was primarily due to the Debt Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreement we entered into with Marr and Kangplus in July 2010, that resulted in the gain on transfer of assets and gain on restructuring of notes totaling $10,789,000 in the third quarter of 2010.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

Our revenue from continuing operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 totaled $505,000 compared with $314,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $191,000, or 61%. Sales of our BED Incidence Test accounted for 47% of our sales in the first nine months of 2011, compared with 63% in the first nine months of 2010. Such sales tend to be irregular as public health and research institutions begin or conclude various studies to monitor the incidence of HIV infection within their subject populations. Sales of our AwareTM HIV-1/2 rapid tests accounted for 19% and 28% of our sales in the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Because of the nature of the product and the fact that we are still commercializing it, sales tend to be irregular as we gain approvals for and begin distribution of those tests in various parts of the world.

We reported gross margins of 30% and 48% of sales in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The margins we reported in both 2011 and 2010, however, are not typical of our expected future results because of the relatively small amounts of revenues and product quantities over which certain fixed expenses, like annual royalty minimum payments, have been allocated. Product costs in both periods are also not reflective of steady production costs. In the first nine months of 2011, we recorded $58,000 in inventory allowances, compared to zero inventory allowances in the first nine months of 2010.

Research and development costs increased by $37,000, from $189,000 in the first nine months of 2010 to $226,000 in the first nine months of 2011, as we continue to ramp our research and development department back up. Research and development costs consist of salary and benefits as well as consulting and clinical investigation expenses.

Selling, general and administrative costs of our continuing operations decreased by $72,000, or 10%, from $739,000 in the first nine months of 2010 to $667,000 in the first nine months of 2011. This decrease was primarily due to reduced consulting expenses.

The following table summarizes the components of interest expense (in thousands):

	Nine Months ended September 30,
	2011			2010

Interest expense on debt instruments paid or payable in cash	$	-		$	(190	)
Non-cash income (expense) composed of:
Accrued interest on 8% Convertible Notes		-			(231	)
Accrued interest on 4% Note Payable		(1	)		(4	)
Expense attributable to dividends on mandatorily redeemable Series		(90	)		(90	)
A preferred stock

Total non-cash items		(91	)		(325	)
Total interest expense	$	(91	)	$	(515	)

We recorded net interest expense of $91,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 compared with $515,000 of net interest expense in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. As described above, the decreased expense in 2011 resulted from the Marr and SF Capital debt restructuring in July 2010, in which convertible notes held by Marr and SF Capital were converted to common stock or cancelled.

We recorded other income of $219,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to a grant awarded the Company under the U.S. Government's Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project (QTDP) program, under which we received the final $171,147 in February 2011. This compared with $10.8 million of other income in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, which consisted primarily of a gain on transfer of assets and a gain on restructuring of notes in the third quarter of 2010 in connection with the Debt Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreement we entered into with Marr and Kangplus in July 2010.

The $178,000 tax benefit for the first nine months of 2011 reflects an adjustment to our fiscal year 2010 income tax liability.

Our loss from continuing operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011was $437,000, compared to income from continuing operations of $9.5 million reported for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily related to the gain that resulted from the Debt Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreement we entered into with Marr and Kangplus in July 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash requirements depend on many factors, including the execution of our business plan. We expect to continue to devote substantial capital resources to running our business, reduction or restructuring of our trade payables and implementing our business plan. As discussed below, we have entered into a memorandum of understanding for $1 million in private financing through 2012. Based on our current forecasts and assumptions we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents plus this $1 million in private financing will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital for the next twelve months. Should this financing not materialize as planned, however, our existing cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital for the next twelve months. Moreover, based on our revised revenue and expense forecasts, we anticipate that we will be required to raise additional financing beyond the initial $1 million from the MOU in order to fully fund our efforts to obtain FDA approval of our AWARETM 2 product. Given the state of the Company, we have not made any plans for capital expenditures related to manufacturing and operations.

Operating Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 we used cash of $243,000 and $629,000, respectively, in our operating activities. In the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the cash was used primarily for our selling, general and administrative expenses.

Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we generated $237,000 from financing activities compared to $534,000 generated from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The funds generated from financing activities in both 2011 and 2010, were primarily the result of advances from shareholders.

Subsequent to September 30, 2011 and through the date of this filing, we have received an aggregate of $245,000 in advances from one of our investors, representing a portion of the funds committed pursuant to the MOU. We are using the proceeds of these investments for general working capital purposes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We have described the recent accounting pronouncements to which we will be subject in future periods in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I of this Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive and financial officer (our “CEO”) of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, our CEO has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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