CALYPTE BIOMEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(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 9,000 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”).

We manufacture and sell 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.

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 results, we have contacted the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and started the process to conduct clinical trials and apply for Premarket Approval.

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. To date, the parties have not entered into a definitive agreement or agreed upon a budget plan as contemplated by the MoU; however, as of June 30, 2012 the Company had received $565,000 in investments pursuant to the MoU. 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.

At June 30, 2012, we had a working capital deficit of $2.7 million and our stockholders’ deficit was $4.7 million. Our cash balance at June 30, 2012 was $8,000, which we do not believe is sufficient to enable us to fund our operations through the remainder of 2012 unless we continue to receive financing as provided in the MoU.

We currently have 800,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, of which approximately 781,428,462 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.

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 June 30, 2012 and the consolidated results of our operations and our consolidated cash flows for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2012. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011 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, 2011 included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2012.

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. 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 six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011

AwareTM BEDTM HIV-1 Incidence Test	$	47	$	54	$	90	$	240
AwareTM Rapid HIV diagnostic tests		3		28		7		52
All other		13		15		13		27

Revenue from product sales	$	63	$	97	$	110	$	319

Revenue from raw material sourcing	$	-	$	38	$	24	$	79

Total Revenue	$	63	$	135	$	134	$	398

Sales to international customers accounted for approximately 76% and 79% of our revenues in the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Four customers accounted for approximately 66% and 76% of our second quarter 2012 and 2011 revenue, respectively.

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 of 3,050,000 shares and 6,175,001 shares were excluded from the computation of net loss per share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as their effect is 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 with the quarter ended June 30, 2012 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in our 2011 10-K, that are of significance, or potential significance to us.

(6) Stockholders’ Deficit

2011-2012 Private Placements

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 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 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. These 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 their 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.

During 2011, Mr. Khidasheli made several advances totaling $397,000 ($145,000 pursuant to the MoU), and in 2012 has made advances totaling $420,000 (all pursuant to the MoU), in anticipation of entering into future subscription agreements or stock purchase agreements. We are using the proceeds of these investments for general working capital purposes.

(7) 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 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2012. The Company follows FASB ASC topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires the recognition of the fair value of stock compensation, including stock options, in net income (loss). 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 six months of 2012 or 2011. The following table summarizes option activity for all of our stock option plans from December 31, 2011 through June 30, 2012:

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

Options outstanding at December 31, 2011		3,050,000	$	0.112		5.87	$	0
Options granted		-		-
Options exercised		-		-
Options forfeited		-		-
Options expired		-		-

Options outstanding at June 30, 2012		3,050,000	$	0.112		5.37	$	0

Options vested and exercisable at December 31, 2011		3,050,000	$	0.112		5.87	$	0

Options vested and exercisable at June 30, 2012		3,050,000	$	0.112		5.37	$	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 June 30, 2012, the market price of our stock was $0.01 per share, and none of our options were in-the-money. No options were exercised in the six months period ending June 30, 2012.

The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding under all of our option plans at June 30, 2012:

	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		5.41	$	0.110		3,000,000	$	0.110
$0.23		50,000		2.82	$	0.230		50,000	$	0.230

		3,050,000		5.37	$	0.112		3,050,000	$	0.112

We did not record any income tax benefits for stock-based compensation arrangements for the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, as we have cumulative operating losses and have established full valuation allowances for our income tax benefits.

(8) Related Party Transactions

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 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, and the shares were issued in March 2012. 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 purchased raw materials for Beijing Marr in the first six months of 2012 and 2011, and recorded $24,000 and $79,000 of revenue from raw material sourcing, respectively. During the first quarter of 2011, we provided telephone support and sent one person to Beijing Marr for three weeks, and we recognized $16,716 in revenue related to this technical support.

During the first six months of 2012, one investor has advanced a total of $420,000 to the Company. Through August 14, 2012, this investor has further advanced us $70,000. These advances are intended for future subscription agreements.

(9) Subsequent Events

Subsequent to June 30, 2012, we have received an aggregate of $70,000 in advances from David Khidasheli (pursuant to the MoU) in anticipation of entering into a subscription or stock purchase agreement. We are using the proceeds of these investments for general working capital purposes.

We have evaluated all other subsequent events through the date of this filing, and determined 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, 2011 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 second quarter of 2012, 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. 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. To date, the parties have not entered into a definitive agreement or agreed upon a budget plan as contemplated by the MoU; however, as of June 30, 2012 the Company had received $565,000 in investments pursuant to the MoU. 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.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2012 decreased 53% from the second quarter of 2011. Our product sales tend to be irregular from quarter-to-quarter, particularly with our BED product, as public health and research institutions begin or conclude various studies to monitor the incidence of HIV infection within their subject populations. 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 continued to make our AwareTM BED Incidence tests during the quarter.

Business Environment

Although we have received regulatory approval in a number of countries, there is a long lag time between regulatory approval and sales. In our target markets, government ministries of health or similar government and nongovernmental agencies are the primary purchasers of our products, typically through a “lowest-cost” tender process. These purchasers have historically purchased blood-based HIV tests. We have had to overcome the obstacle of changing these purchasers’ mindsets from preferring tests that use the current blood standard of care. We have expended much time, money and effort to try to convince government bodies and non-governmental organizations to try our oral fluid tests, both for its ease of use, efficiency and lower-cost benefits.

We consider these efforts to be part of a strategy in which the “standard of care” for HIV diagnosis evolves from the exclusive use of blood tests to more widespread use of non-invasive oral fluid-based tests. If we can successfully change the standard of care, we expect to reach a point at which our revenue will increase significantly. We cannot forecast whether or when this point will occur, as it is largely governed by factors beyond our control.

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 net cash used in operating activities in the first six months of 2012 was approximately $408,000, compared to $81,000 in first six months of 2011. A primary factor in our lower cash burn during the first six months of 2011 was the $171,147 grant received under the U.S. government’s Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project (QTDP) program. In both periods, the cash used in operations was primarily for development and commercialization of our rapid tests, as well as for our selling, general and administrative expenses.

During the first six months of 2012, we had a net loss of $0.5 million. At June 30, 2012, we had a working capital deficit of $2.7 million. Our cash balance at June 30, 2012 was $8,000. We received $70,000 in additional advances from investors after June 30, 2012 and our cash balance as of August 14, 2012 was $22,000. We do not believe this cash balance is sufficient to enable us to fund our operations through the remainder of 2012 unless we continue to receive financing as provided in the MoU.

We currently have 800,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, of which 781,428,462 shares are issued and outstanding or reserved for issuance under current financing arrangements and our incentive plans. If additional financing is available to us, it will likely be in the form of one or more equity or convertible debt transactions. 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 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 June 30, 2012 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, 2011 have not changed materially since year-end.

Quarter ended June 30, 2012 and 2011

Our revenue for the second quarter of 2012 totaled $63,000 compared with $135,000 for the second quarter of 2011, a decrease of $72,000 or 53%. Sales of our BED Incidence Test accounted for 80% of our sales in the second quarter of 2012, compared with 40% in the second quarter of 2011. 2012 second quarter revenue from the sales of the BED Incidence Test decreased by 13% compared with 2011. 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 5% and 21% of our sales in the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Second quarter 2012 revenues from the sale of our rapid tests decreased by 89% compared with rapid test revenues in the second quarter of 2011. 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. Second quarter 2012 revenues from the raw material sourcing for Beijing Marr were $0, compared to $38,000 in the second quarter of 2011. Although we expect these sales to continue indefinitely, we do not consider them to be part of our core business and cannot predict the extent or timing of such revenues in the future.

We reported gross margins of 42% and (10%) of sales in the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The margins we reported in both 2012 and 2011, however, are not typical of our expected future results because of the relatively nominal 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 second quarter of 2011 we recorded a $23,000 inventory allowance, compared to zero inventory allowance in the second quarter of 2012.

During the second quarter of 2012, we had a net loss of $0.2 million, compared to a net loss of $0.3 million during the second quarter of 2011. At June 30, 2012, we had a working capital deficit of $2.7 million.

Research and development costs were relatively unchanged at $68,000 in the second quarter of 2012 and $67,000 in the second quarter of 2011, as salaries and clinical investigation costs remained consistent period-to-period.

Selling, general and administrative costs decreased by $40,000, or 20%, from $205,000 in the second quarter of 2011 to $165,000 in the second quarter of 2012. The primary components of the net decrease include the following:

·	a decrease of $11,000 in consulting expenses

·	a decrease of $11,000 in intangible asset amortization due to the expiration of a patent

·	a decrease of $10,000 in legal expenses

·	a decrease of $4,000 in public company expenses

Our loss from operations for the second quarter of 2012 of $206,000 reflects a decrease of 28% compared with the loss of $286,000 reported for the second quarter of 2011.

We recorded net interest expense of $31,000 and $30,000 for the second quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011

Our revenue from operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 totaled $134,000 compared with $398,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $264,000, or 66%. Sales of our BED Incidence Test accounted for 67% of our sales in the first six months of 2012, compared with 60% in the first six months of 2011. Revenue from sales of the BED Incidence Test decreased by 63% in the first six months of 2012 compared with 2011. 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 6% and 13% of our sales in the first six months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. First six month 2012 revenues from the sale of our rapid tests decreased by 87% compared with rapid test revenues in the first six months of 2011. 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 33% and 18% of sales in the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The margins we reported in both 2012 and 2011, 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 six months of 2011, we recorded $58,000 in inventory allowances, compared to zero inventory allowances in the first six months of 2012.

Research and development costs were relatively unchanged at $142,000 in the first six months 2012, compared to $141,000 in the first six months of 2011, as salaries and clinical investigation costs remained consistent period-to-period.

Selling, general and administrative costs decreased by $88,000, or 19%, from $454,000 in the first six months of 2011 to $366,000 in the first six months of 2012. The primary components of the net decrease include the following:

·	a decrease of $68,000 in consulting and other outside service expenses

·	a decrease of $22,000 in intangible asset amortization due to the expiration of a patent

·	a decrease of $9,000 in legal expenses

·	offset by a $12,000 increase in clinical investigation expense

We recorded net interest expense of $62,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 compared with $61,000 of net interest expense in the six month period ended June 30, 2011.

We recorded other income of $0 for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 compared with $213,000 of other income in the six month period ended June 30, 2011. This decrease was primarily due to a grant awarded the Company under the QTDP program, of which the final $171,147 was received in February 2011.

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

Our loss from operations of $463,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 represents a reduction of 12% compared with the loss of $525,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash requirements depend on many factors, including the execution of our business plan. We expect that we will need to continue to devote substantial capital resources to running our business, reduction or restructuring of our trade payables and implementing our business plan. Based on our current forecasts and assumptions, we believe that our existing cash is insufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures through the remainder of 2012 unless we continue to receive financing as provided in the MoU. Given the state of the company, we have not made any plans for capital expenditures related to manufacturing and operations.

Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, cash used in our operating activities was $0.4 million. This compares to $0.1 million of cash provided by our operating activities during the same period of 2011, including a $0.2 million QTDP grant received. In both 2012 and 2011, the cash was used primarily for our selling, general and administrative expenses.

Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we generated $406,000 from financing activities compared to $177,000 generated from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2011. The funds generated from financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were the result of investor advances in anticipation of entering into future subscription agreements.

If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will be unable to continue as a going concern. Moreover, any financing we are able to secure could be on terms that are highly dilutive to our existing stockholders. In addition, the equity or debt securities that we issue may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
