NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 — FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited financial statements of SCOLR Pharma, Inc. as of June 30, 2005, and June 30, 2004, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the financial information includes all adjustments that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at such dates and the operations and cash flows for the periods then ended. The balance sheet at December 31, 2004, has been derived from the audited financials statements at that date. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations on quarterly reporting. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. The accompanying unaudited financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the Form 10-KSB for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Estimates are used for, but not limited to depreciable lives of assets and deferred tax valuation allowances. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. Accordingly, the accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 — NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement 123(R) Share-Based Payment, which requires companies to recognize in the income statement the fair value of all employee share-based payments, including grants of employee stock options as well as compensatory employee stock purchase plans. The original implementation date was for interim periods beginning after June 15, 2005. In March 2005, a staff accounting bulletin No. 107 deferred the implementation dates for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2005. As a result, this will become effective for us beginning on January 1, 2006. SFAS 123(R) eliminates the ability to account for share based compensation using APB 25, and the pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. Although we have not yet determined whether the adoption of SFAS 123 (R) will result in amounts that are similar to the current pro forma disclosure under SFAS 123 (see Note 5), we expect the adoption to have a material impact on the statements of operations in future periods.

NOTE 3 — FINANCING EVENTS

On February 8, 2005, we raised $15 million in gross proceeds through a private placement of 3,750,000 shares of our common stock for $4.00 per share to accredited investors. The sale of shares resulted in net proceeds to us of approximately $14 million. We filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the resale of the shares issued in the private placement (including shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to the placement agent).

Taglich Brothers, Inc. acted as the placement agent for the transaction and received a cash fee of $750,000 and warrants, valued at $194,899 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, to purchase up to 75,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share exercisable for five years. Michael N. Taglich is the Chairman of the Board of Directors and is also an affiliate of Taglich Brothers, Inc.

NOTE 4 — NOTE RECEIVABLE

We sold our probiotics development and manufacturing business effective as of December 31, 2003. We calculated the present value of the $2 million original deferred purchase price note based on estimated projected payments from the purchaser using a rate equal to the Federal Treasury’s five-year treasury bill rate of 3.27% at December 31, 2003. Payments are applied to the principal and interest on the note in the quarter they are received, calculated in accordance with the agreement, and include royalty payments for sales of products using the CDT technology. As described in Note 7, “Subsequent Event”, in August 2005 we entered into an agreement with the purchaser of the probiotics division providing for settlement of the note receivable.

NOTE 5 — STOCK OPTIONS

We have stock-based employee compensation plans and apply APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for our plans. Generally, the exercise price of our common stock equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant; therefore, no corresponding compensation expense has been recognized. For these options, we have adopted the disclosure only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123). With the adoption of the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, non-employee directors may elect to receive the value of their quarterly retainer fee for services either in the form of cash or a stock-based director fee award, which will consist of either stock options or stock units. These awards are valued and expensed at the lower of the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant or the cash equivalent. We recognized $30,000 and $0 expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and 2004, respectively, related to these quarterly retainer fees in the form of stock option grants.

The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to our stock-based awards for the periods ended June 30:

NOTE 6 — EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the quarter and income available to common shareholders. Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the effect of potential common stock, except when their effect is anti-dilutive. The weighted average shares for computing basic earnings (loss) per share were 34,551,703 and 30,387,772 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, and 2004, and 32,182,734 and 29,014,951 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and 2004, respectively. At June 30, 2005, there were 5,675,194 shares of potentially issuable common stock which have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.

NOTE 7 —SUBSEQUENT EVENT

During August 2005 we entered into an agreement with Nutraceutix, Inc. providing for payments of $973,505 in satisfaction of the note receivable associated with the December 2003 sale of our probiotics division and royalty obligations for the second quarter of 2005. The consideration to SCOLR included a cash payment of $197,652, a royalty payment of $16,962 due August 15, 2005, and a promissory note in the amount of $758,891, payable in twelve monthly installments due July 31, 2006. In addition, the license we previously granted to Nutraceutix to manufacture and sell certain extended release dietary supplement products will be limited to certain designated customers of Nutraceutix. We will receive royalty payments on such sales at a reduced rate effective July 1, 2005 and such payments will be recognized as royalty income. As a result of the modification of the licensing agreement, we will be able to pursue additional licensing opportunities and/or strategic alliances for sales of dietary supplement and nutritional products. The transaction will result in a loss on the settlement of the note of $537,921 in the third quarter of 2005.

Item 2.

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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing in Item 1 of Part 1 of this quarterly report and in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this report, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “may,” “intend,” “expect,” and similar expressions identify certain of such forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from historical results or those contemplated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this report. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements are set forth in this report under the heading “Risk Factors”, and are detailed from time to time in our periodic reports filed with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a results of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

We are a specialty pharmaceutical company leveraging our formulation experience and knowledge with our proprietary and patented Controlled Delivery Technology (CDT^{^®}) platform to develop novel pharmaceutical, over-the-counter (OTC), and nutritional products. Our CDT platform is currently based on three patented drug delivery technologies and includes intellectual property from two U.S. patents licensed exclusively to us by Temple University and a third U.S. patent assigned to us by Dr. Reza Fassihi, a Professor of Biopharmaceutics and Industrial Pharmacy at the Temple University School of Pharmacy. We have collaborated with Dr. Fassihi over the last five years to develop prototype prescription and OTC drug formulations, and a number of currently marketed dietary supplements that utilize our CDT platform.

We have applied our CDT platform to a number of nutritional products already on the market, including products sold to Wal-Mart, Rite Aid, General Nutrition Company, and Trader Joes.

We are actively engaged in the development of CDT-based extended release formulations of ibuprofen, pseduoephedrine (12 and 24 hour), a combination ibuprofen/pseudoephedrine and ondansetron, as well as an immediate release CDT formulation of raloxifene. Ibuprofen is an analgesic approved for treatment of pain and fever with no extended release formulation currently approved for use in North America. Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that is widely used to relieve sinus pressure related to allergies and the common cold. Ondansetron HCl is the active ingredient in Zofran^®, GlaxoSmithKline’s product for anti-nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy and radiation treatments for cancer. Raloxifene HCl is the active ingredient in Evista^®, Eli Lilly’s product for osteoporosis which uses a different solubilization technology.

We have completed human testing of CDT-based 12 hour extended release formulation of pseudoehpedrine and expect to file an Abbreviated New Drug Application later this year. While our human clinical testing of ibuprofen demonstrated the ability of our technology to modulate the release of ibuprofen, further formulation and testing will be required to assure that this product meets intended performance standards. We now intend to submit a New Drug Application to the FDA for extended release (OTC) ibuprofen in mid-2006. We also have achieved encouraging preliminary results from the pilot bioavailability testing of our amino acid CDT based raloxifene HCl tablets. While still preliminary, these test data demonstrate that our CDT technology has the ability to enhance the absorption and bioavailability of raloxifene HCl as compared with the controls used in the study. CDT raloxifene uses technology from our third issued patent which addresses insoluble and sparingly soluble active ingredients in existing and potentially new oral drugs. We are continually evaluating additional drugs as potential CDT development candidates for expanding our growing portfolio of CDT applications.

Our proprietary CDT system can be used in solid oral dosage formulations, the preferred route for drug administration, to yield tablets or capsules that release their active agents predictably and programmably over a specified timeframe of up to 24 hours. We believe we can apply our technology to create significant delivery enhancements to a large universe of existing oral pharmaceutical, OTC, and nutritional products. CDT-based controlled release dry blend and direct compression tablet and capsule formulations contain readily available and generally regarded as safe (GRAS) excipients, e.g., non-active ingredients such as combinations of hydrophilic polymers and poly-ionics or electrolytes. These excipients are used to control the release rate of the active drug component of the CDT tablet in order to provide predictable delivery profiles. These include attaining reproducible, cost effective, and optimized in-vivo delivery of drugs for up to 24 hours. In addition, our proprietary amino-acid technology can be incorporated in immediate and sustained release solid oral formulations to increase the solubility characteristics of previously non-soluble and sparingly soluble drugs without employing costly micro-milling, nano-particulate, or coated particle technologies.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Since December 31, 2004, none of the critical accounting policies, or our application thereof, as more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004, has significantly changed. However, as the nature and scope of our business operations mature, certain of our accounting policies and estimates may become more critical. You should understand that generally accepted accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, as well as the amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods covered by our financial statements. The actual amounts of these items could differ materially from these estimates.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the quarter and six months periods ended June 30, 2005, and 2004

Revenue

Revenue for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005, and June 30, 2004, consisted of royalty income from sales of products incorporating our CDT technology. Revenue increased 41%, or $44,982, to $155,834 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, from $110,852 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, and decreased less than one percent, or $854, to $243,292 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, from $244,146 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase during the second quarter was primarily the result of the timing of reporting of royalties from one customer and is not expected to reoccur.

Revenue does not include royalties from sales reported by the purchaser of our probiotics division. These additional royalties are derived primarily from sales of CDT-based dietary supplement products and are applied to the note receivable from that sale. Royalties reported from these sales was $61,843 for the quarter ending June 30, 2005, compared to $52,305 for the quarter ending June 30, 2004, and $167,795 for the six months ending June 30, 2005, compared to $118,491 for the six months ending June 30, 2004. During August 2005 we entered into an agreement providing for payments of $973,505 in settlement of the note receivable associated with the sale of our probiotics division and royalty obligations for the second quarter of 2005. The consideration to SCOLR included a cash payment of $197,652, a royalty payment of $16,962 due August 15, 2005, and a promissory note in the amount of $758,891. Effective July 1, 2005, we will receive royalty income on sales of CDT products by the purchaser of the probiotics division at a reduced rate and such payments will be included in royalty income.

Marketing and Selling Expenses

Marketing and selling expenses increased 47%, or $28,182, to $87,823 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to $59,641 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and 34% or $34,279, to $135,351 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $101,072 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was primarily due to increased expense for advertising and promotion and salary related expenses. Additional expenses are planned as we increase our selling and marketing efforts to support commercialization of our drug delivery technology.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased 306%, or $1,077,468, to $1,429,034 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to $351,566 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, and 266%, or $1,922,951, to $2,644,514 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $721,563 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 . During the quarter and six month periods ending June 30, 2005, we spent approximately $995,000 and $1,645,000, respectively, for the development, testing, and manufacturing of our products for our current and planned clinical trials. In addition, during the quarter and six month periods ending June 30, 2005, we spent approximately $42,000 and $226,000, respectively, for supplies and small equipment purchases, including raw materials used in our research and development activities. We also had increases in salary related expenses for additional personnel to support expansion of our operations and to develop systems to support commercialization of our CDT platform.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased 7%, or $49,749, to $667,757 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to $717,506 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, and increased 1%, or $7,124, to $1,356,697 for the six months ended

June 30, 2005, compared to $1,349,573 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Decreases in legal expenses in the first six months of 2005 are offset by increases in personnel and salaries for the same period. Additional expenditures will be incurred during the remainder of 2005 to support our increased research and development activities and to comply with financial reporting and SEC regulatory requirements.

Operating Profit/Loss

Operating loss increased 99%, or $1,010,919, for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, to $2,028,780 as compared to $1,017,861 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, and 102%, or $1,965,208 to $3,893,270 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $1,928,062 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase is primarily related to higher research and development expenses, including the development, testing, and manufacturing of our products and clinical trials.

Other Income/Expense

Other income was $154,476 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared with $86,771 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and $251,115 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with $82,368 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was primarily due to interest received on our higher cash balances. In addition, during the second quarter, we recovered a discounted portion of an accounts receivable balance written off as bad debt in 2004 in the amount of $21,322.

Net Earnings/Loss

The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 increased 101%, or $943,214 to $1,874,304 as compared to $931,090 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and 97% or $1,796,461 to $3,642,155 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $1,845,694 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This was mostly due to our increased research and development expenses as previously discussed.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2005, we had working capital of $17.5 million as compared with working capital of $6.3 million December 31, 2004. The change in working capital reflects the sale of 3,750,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $14 million during February 2005. We believe that our cash on hand, including our cash equivalents, will be sufficient to fund our drug delivery business at planned levels through the third quarter of 2006.

Net cash used in operating activities for the second quarter of 2005 was approximately $1.9 million and approximately $4 million for the first six months of 2005. Expenditures during this period were a result of research and development expenses, clinical trial costs, contract manufacturing costs, and general and administrative expenses in support of our operations and marketing expenses. We expect our operating losses and negative cash flow to increase as we continue preclinical research and clinical trials, apply for regulatory approvals, develop our product candidates, and develop the infrastructure to support commercialization of our products.

We plan to continue the costly process of simultaneously conducting clinical trials and preclinical research for multiple product candidates. We expect that we will need to raise additional capital prior to the third quarter of 2006 to fund operations, conduct clinical trials, continue research and development projects, and commercialize our products. We have funded our operations primarily through the issuance of equity securities and anticipate we will need to seek additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or other sources of financing. If we are unable to obtain necessary additional financing, our ability to run our business will be adversely affected and we may be required to reduce the scope of or discontinue operations.

As of June 30, 2005, our commitments to make future payments under long term contractual obligations were as follows:


	Payments Due by Period
Contractual Obligations	Total		Less than 1 Year		1 to 3 Years		4 to 5 Years
Operating Leases	$	556,017	$	169,450	$	382,187	$	4,380
Capital Lease		24,573		24,573		—		—

Total	$	580,590	$	194,023	$	382,187	$	4,380

We have certain material agreements with our manufacturing and testing vendors related to our ongoing clinical trial work associated with our development programs. Contract amounts are paid based on materials-used and on a work-performed basis. Generally, we have the right to terminate these agreements upon 30 days notice and would be responsible for services and materials and related costs incurred prior to termination.

Risk Factors

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our business, operating results, financial performance, and share price may be materially adversely affected by a number of factors, including but not limited to the following risk factors, any one of which could cause actual results to vary materially from anticipated results or from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us in this quarterly report or in other reports, press releases or other statements issued from time to time. Additional factors that may cause such a difference are set forth elsewhere in this quarterly report.

We have incurred substantial operating losses since we started doing business and we expect to continue to incur substantial losses in the future, which may negatively impact our ability to run our business.

We have incurred net losses since 2000, including net losses of $4.9 million in 2004, and $8.7 million in 2003. We have continued to incur losses after December 31, 2004, and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, we had net losses of $1.9 million and $3.6 million, respectively. We have accumulated net losses of approximately $30 million from our inception through June 30, 2005, and we expect to continue to incur significant operating losses in the future.

We plan to continue the costly process of simultaneously conducting clinical trials and preclinical research for multiple product candidates. Our product development program may not lead to commercial products, either because our product candidates fail to be effective, are not attractive to the market, or because we lack the necessary financial or other resources or relationships to pursue our programs through commercialization. Our net losses are likely to increase significantly as we continue preclinical research and clinical trials, apply for regulatory approvals, develop our product candidates, and develop the infrastructure to support commercialization of our potential products.

We have funded our operations primarily through the issuance of equity securities to investors and may not be able to generate positive cash flow in the future. We expect that we will need to seek additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or other sources of financing before the third quarter of 2006. If we are unable to obtain necessary additional financing, our ability to run our business will be adversely affected and we may be required to reduce the scope of our cease our operations.

We do not have sufficient cash to fund the development of our drug delivery operations. If we are unable to obtain additional equity or debt financing in the future, we will be required to reduce the scope of our business or cease our operations.

With the $15 million we raised in our private placement of common stock completed in February 2005, we believe that our cash on hand, including our cash equivalents, will be sufficient to fund our drug delivery business at planned levels through the third quarter of 2006. We will need to raise additional capital to fund operations, conduct clinical trials, continue research and development projects, and commercialize our product candidates. The timing and amount of our need for additional financing will depend on a number of factors, including:

•

the structure and timing of collaborations with strategic partners and licensees;

•

our timetable and costs for the development of marketing operations and other activities related to the commercialization of our product candidates;

•

the progress of our research and development programs and expansion of such programs;

•

the emergence of competing technologies and other adverse market developments; and,

•

the prosecution, defense and enforcement of potential patent claims and other intellectual property rights.

Additional equity or debt financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, substantial dilution to our existing stockholders may result which could decrease the market price of our common stock due to the sale of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market, or the perception that these sales could occur. These sales, or the perception of possible sales, could also impair our ability to raise capital in the future. In addition, the terms of any equity financing may adversely affect the rights of our existing stockholders. If we raise additional funds through strategic alliance, and licensing arrangements, we may be required to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or product candidates, or to grant licenses on terms that are unfavorable to us, which could substantially reduce the value of our business.

If we are unable to obtain sufficient additional financing, we would be unable to meet our obligations and we would be required to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of our business operations, including the pursuit of licensing, strategic alliances and development of drug delivery programs.

If our clinical trials are not successful or take longer to complete than we expect, we may not be able to develop and commercialize our products.

In order to obtain regulatory approvals for the commercial sale of potential products utilizing our CDT platform, we or our collaborators will be required to complete clinical trials in humans to demonstrate the safety and efficacy, or in certain cases, the bioequivalence, of the products. However, we or our collaborators may not be able to commence or complete these clinical trials in any specified time period, or at all, either because the appropriate regulatory agency objects or for other reasons, including:

•

unexpected delays in the initiation of clinical sites;

•

slower than projected enrollment of eligible patients;

•

competition with other ongoing clinical trials for clinical investigators or eligible patients;

•

scheduling conflicts with participating clinicians;

•

limits on manufacturing capacity; and,

•

the failure of our products to meet required standards.

We also rely on academic institutions and clinical research organizations to conduct, supervise or monitor some or all aspects of clinical trials involving our product candidates. We have less control over the timing and other aspects of these clinical trials than if we conducted the monitoring and supervision on our own. Third parties may not perform their responsibilities for our clinical trials on our anticipated scheduled or consistent with a clinical trial protocol.

Even if we complete a clinical trial of one of our potential products, the clinical trial may not indicate that our product is safe or effective to the extent required by the FDA or other regulatory agency to approve the product. If clinical trials do not show any potential product to be safe or efficacious, or if we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testing of our products in development beyond those that we currently contemplate, we may be delayed in obtaining, or may not obtain, marketing approval for our products. Our product development costs may also increase if we experience delays in testing or approvals, which could allow our competitors to bring products to market before we do and would impair our ability to commercialize our products.

We may not obtain regulatory approval for our products, which would materially impair our ability to generate revenue.

Each OTC or pharmaceutical product developed by us will require a separate costly and time consuming regulatory approval before we or our collaborators can manufacture and sell it in the United States or internationally. The regulatory process to obtain market approval for a new drug takes many years and requires the expenditure of substantial resources. We have had only limited experience in preparing applications and obtaining regulatory approvals and primarily rely on third party contractors. As a result, we have less control over the timing and other aspects of the regulatory process than if we had our own expertise in this area. Third parties may not perform their responsibilities on our anticipated schedule or consistent with our priorities.

We may encounter delays or rejections during any stage of the regulatory approval process based upon the failure of clinical data to demonstrate compliance with, or upon the failure of the product to meet the FDA’s requirements for safety, efficacy, quality, and/or bioequivalence; and, those requirements may become more stringent due to changes in regulatory agency policy or the adoption of new regulations. After submission of a marketing application, in the form of an NDA or ANDA, the FDA may deny the application, may require additional testing or data, and/or may require post marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of a product. In addition, the terms of approval of any marketing application, including the labeling content, may be more restrictive than we desire and could affect the marketability of products incorporating our controlled release technology.

Certain products incorporating our technology will require the filing of an NDA. A full NDA must include complete reports of preclinical, clinical, and other studies to prove adequately that the product is safe and effective, which involves among other things, full clinical testing, and as a result requires the expenditure of substantial resources. In certain cases involving controlled release versions of FDA-approved immediate release products, we may be able to rely on existing publicly available safety and efficacy data to support an NDA for controlled release products under Section 505(b)(2) of the FDCA when such data exists for an approved immediate release or controlled release version of the same active chemical ingredient. We can provide no assurance, however, that the FDA will accept a Section 505(b)(2) NDA, or that we will be able to obtain publicly available data that is useful. The Section 505(b)(2) NDA process is a highly uncertain avenue to approval because the FDA’s policies on Section 505(b)(2) have not yet been fully developed. There can be no assurance that the FDA will approve an application submitted under Section 505(b)(2) in a timely manner or at all. Our inability to rely on the 505(b)(2) process would increase the cost and extend the time frame for FDA approvals.

We face intense competition in the drug delivery business, and our failure to compete effectively would decrease our ability to generate meaningful revenues from our products.

The drug delivery business is highly competitive and is affected by new technologies, governmental regulations, health care legislation, availability of financing, litigation and other factors. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories and greater financial, research and development, marketing and other resources than we do. We are subject to competition from numerous other entities that currently operate or intend to operate in the industry. These include companies that are engaged in the development of controlled-release drug delivery technologies and products as well as other manufacturers that may decide to undertake in-house development of these products. Some of our direct competitors in the drug delivery industry include Alza, Andrx, Biovail, Impax Laboratories, Labopharm, Penwest, and SkyePharma.

Many of our competitors have more extensive experience than we have in conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals, and manufacturing and marketing pharmaceutical products. Many competitors also have competing products that have already received regulatory approval or are in late-stage development, and may have collaborative arrangements in our target markets with leading companies and research institutions.

Our competitors may develop or commercialize more effective, safer or more affordable products, or obtain more effective patent protection, than we are able to develop, commercialize or obtain. As a result, our competitors may commercialize products more rapidly or effectively than we do, which would adversely affect our competitive position, the

likelihood that our products will achieve market acceptance, and our ability to generate meaningful revenues from our products.

If we fail to comply with extensive government regulations covering the manufacture, distribution and labeling of our products, we may have to withdraw our products from the market, close our facilities or cease our operations.

Our products, potential products, and manufacturing and research activities are subject to varying degrees of regulation by a number of government authorities in the United States (including the Drug Enforcement Agency, Food and Drug Administration, Federal Trade Commission and Environmental Protection Agency) and in other countries. For example, our activities, including preclinical studies, clinical trials, and manufacturing, distribution and labeling are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and comparable authorities outside the United States. Also, our statements and our customers’ statements regarding dietary supplement products are subject to regulation by the FTC. The FTC enforces laws prohibiting unfair or deceptive trade practices, including false or misleading advertising. In recent years the FTC has brought a number of actions challenging claims by nutraceutical companies.

Each OTC or pharmaceutical product developed by us will require a separate costly and time consuming regulatory approval before we or our collaborators can manufacture and sell it in the United States or internationally. Even if regulatory approval is received, there may be limits imposed by regulators on a product’s use or it may face subsequent regulatory difficulties. Approved products are subject to continuous review and the facilities that manufacture them are subject to periodic inspections. Furthermore, regulatory agencies may require additional and expensive post-approval studies. If previously unknown problems with a product candidate surface or the manufacturing or laboratory facility is deemed non-compliant with applicable regulatory requirements, an agency may impose restrictions on that product or on us, including requiring us to withdraw the product from the market, close the facility, and/or pay substantial fines.

We also may incur significant costs in complying with environmental laws and regulations. We are subject to federal, state, local and other laws and regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling, and disposal of materials and certain waste products. The risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials cannot be completely eliminated. If an accident occurs, we could be held liable for any damages that result and these damages could exceed our resources.

If we cannot establish collaborative arrangements with leading individuals, companies and research institutions, we may have to discontinue the development and commercialization of our products.

We have limited experience in conducting full scale clinical trials, preparing and submitting regulatory applications or manufacturing and selling pharmaceutical products. In addition, we do not have sufficient resources to fund the development, regulatory approval, and commercialization of our products. We expect to seek collaborative arrangements and alliances with corporate and academic partners, licensors and licensees to assist with funding research and development, to conduct clinical testing, and to provide manufacturing, marketing, and commercialization of our product candidates. We may rely on collaborative arrangements to obtain the regulatory approvals for our products.

For our collaboration efforts to be successful, we must identify partners whose competencies complement ours. We must also enter into collaboration agreements with them on terms that are favorable to us and integrate and coordinate their resources and capabilities with our own. We may be unsuccessful in entering into collaboration agreements with acceptable partners or negotiating favorable terms in these agreements.

Factors that may affect the success of our collaborations include the following:

•

our collaborators may have insufficient economic motivation to continue their funding, research, development, and commercialization activities;

•

our collaborators may discontinue funding any particular program, which could delay or halt the development or commercialization of any product candidates arising out of the program;

•

our collaborators may choose to pursue alternative technologies or products, either on their own or in collaboration with others, including our competitors;

•

our collaborators may lack sufficient financial, technical or other capabilities to develop these product candidates;

•

we may underestimate the length of time that it takes for our collaborators to achieve various clinical development and regulatory approval milestones; and,

•

our collaborators may be unable to successfully address any regulatory or technical challenges they may encounter.

If we cannot establish collaborative relationships, we will be required to find alternative sources of funding and to develop our own capabilities to manufacture, market, and sell our products. If we were not successful in finding funding and developing these capabilities, we would have to terminate the development and commercialization of our products.

We have no manufacturing capabilities and will be dependent on third party manufacturers.

We do not have commercial scale facilities to manufacture any products we may develop in accordance with requirements prescribed by the FDA. Accordingly, we have to rely on third party manufacturers of the products we are evaluating in clinical trials. There can be no assurance that any third parties upon which we rely for our products in clinical development will perform. If there are any failures by these third parties, they may delay development of or the submission of products for regulatory approval, impair our collaborators’ ability to commercialize products as planned and deliver products on a timely basis, require us or our collaborators to cease distribution or recall some or all batches of our products or otherwise impair our competitive position, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to protect and maintain the proprietary nature of our intellectual property, our business, financial condition and ability to compete would suffer.

We principally rely on patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret and contract law to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We own or have exclusive rights to several U.S. patents and patent applications and we expect to apply for additional U.S. and foreign patents in the future. The patent positions of pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and bio-pharmaceutical firms, including ours, are uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions for which important legal issues are largely unresolved. The coverage claimed in our patent applications can be significantly reduced before a patent is issued, and the claims allowed on any patents or trademarks we hold my not be broad enough to protect our technology. In addition, our patents or trademarks may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or the patents of others may impede our collaborators’ ability to commercialize the technology covered by our owned or licensed patents. Moreover, any current or future issued or licensed patents, or trademarks, or existing or future trade secrets or know-how, may not afford sufficient protection against competitors with similar technologies or processes, and the possibility exists that certain of our already issued patents or trademarks may infringe upon third party patents or trademarks or be designed around by others. In addition, there is a risk that others may independently develop proprietary technologies and processes that are the same as, or substantially equivalent or superior to ours, or become available in the market at a lower price. There is a risk that we have infringed or in the future will infringe patents or trademarks owned by others, that we will need to acquire licenses under patents or trademarks belonging to others for technology potentially useful or necessary to us, and that licenses will not be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. We cannot assure you that:

•

our patents or any future patents will prevent other companies from developing similar or functionally equivalent products or from successfully challenging the validity of our patents;

•

any of our future processes or products will be patentable;

•

any pending or additional patents will be issued in any or all appropriate jurisdictions;

•

our processes or products will not infringe upon the patents of third parties; or,

•

we will have the resources to defend against charges of patent infringement by third parties or to protect our own patent rights against infringement by third parties.

We may have to litigate to enforce our patents or trademarks or to determine the scope and validity of other parties’ proprietary rights. Litigation could be very costly and divert management’s attention. An adverse outcome in any litigation could adversely affect our financial results and stock price.

We also rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how, which we seek to protect by confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, advisors, and collaborators. There is a risk that these agreements may be breached, and that the remedies available to us may not be adequate. In addition, our trade secrets and proprietary know-how may otherwise become known to or be independently discovered by others.

Significant expenses in applying for patent protection and prosecuting our patent applications will increase our need for capital and could harm our business and financial condition.

We intend to continue our substantial efforts in applying for patent protection and prosecuting pending and future patent applications both in the United States and internationally. These efforts have historically required the expenditure of considerable time and money, and we expect that they will continue to require significant expenditures. If future changes in United States or foreign patent laws complicate or hinder our efforts to obtain patent protection, the costs associated with patent prosecution may increase significantly.

If we fail to attract and retain key executive and technical personnel we could experience a negative impact on our ability to develop and commercialize our products and our business will suffer.

The success of our operations will depend to a great extent on the collective experience, abilities and continued service of relatively few individuals. We are dependent upon the continued availability of the services of our employees, many of whom are individually key to our future success. For example, if we lose the services of our President and CEO, Daniel O. Wilds, or our Vice President and Chief Technical Officer, Stephen J. Turner, we could experience a negative impact on our ability to develop and commercialize our CDT technology, our financial results and our stock price. We also rely on members of our scientific staff for product research and development. The loss of the services of key members of this staff could substantially impair our ongoing research and development and our ability to obtain additional financing.

In addition, we are dependent upon the continued availability of Dr. Reza Fassihi, with whom we have a consulting agreement. The agreement expires December 31, 2006, but may be terminated by either of party on 30-days’ notice. If our relationship with Dr. Fassihi is terminated, we could experience a negative impact on our ability to develop and commercialize our CDT technology.

Our success also significantly depends upon our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. We face intense competition for personnel in the drug delivery industry. To compete for personnel, we may need to pay higher salaries and provide other incentives than those paid and provided by more established entities. Our limited financial resources may hinder our ability to provide such salaries and incentives. Our personnel may voluntarily terminate their relationship with us at any time, and the process of locating additional personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to carry out our strategy could be lengthy, costly, and disruptive. If we lose the services of key personnel, or fail to replace the services of key personnel who depart, we could experience a severe negative impact on our financial results and stock price.

Future laws or regulations may hinder or prohibit the production or sale of our products.

We may be subject to additional laws or regulations in the future, such as those administered by the FDA or other federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities. Laws or regulations that we consider favorable, such as the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, DSHEA, may be repealed. Current laws or regulations may be interpreted more stringently. We are unable to predict the nature of such future laws, regulations or interpretations, nor can we predict what effect they may have on our business. Possible effects or requirements could include the following:

•

The reformulation of certain products to meet new standards;

•

The recall or discontinuance of certain products unable to be reformulated;

•

Imposition of additional record keeping requirements;

•

Expanded documentation of the properties of certain products; or,

•

Expanded or different labeling, or scientific substantiation.

Any such requirement could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

If we fail to adequately manage the size of our business, it could have a severe negative impact on our financial results or stock price.

Our management believes that, to be successful, we must appropriately manage the size of our business. We have added numerous personnel and have added several new research and development projects. We anticipate that we will experience additional growth in connection with the development, manufacture and commercialization of our products. If we experience rapid growth of our operations, we will be required to implement operational, financial and information procedures and controls that are efficient and appropriate for the size and scope of our operations. The management skills and systems currently in place may not be adequate and we may not be able to manage any significant growth effectively. Our failure to effectively manage our existing operations or our growth could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance or stock price.

A significant number of shares of our common stock are or will be eligible for sale in the open market, which could drive down the market price for our common stock and make it difficult for us to raise capital.

As of June 30, 2005, 34,703,119 shares of our common stock were outstanding, and there were 5,675,194 million shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of outstanding options and warrants. Of these shares, a significant number are eligible for resale. Sales of a large number of shares by selling stockholders could materially decrease the market price of our common stock and make it more difficult to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities.

Our stockholders may experience substantial dilution if we raise additional funds through the sale of equity securities. We will need to seek additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or other sources of financing. The issuance of a large number of additional shares of our common stock upon the exercise of conversion of outstanding options or warrants or in an equity financing transaction could cause a decline in the market price of our common stock due to the sale of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market, of the perception that these sales could occur.

The risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could also encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our common stock.

Certain provisions in our charter documents and otherwise may discourage third parties from attempting to acquire control of our company, which may have an adverse effect on the price of our stock.

Our board of directors has the authority, without obtaining stockholder approval, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such shares without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide for a classified board and special advance notice provisions for proposed business at annual meetings. In addition, Delaware and Washington law contain certain provisions that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a hostile takeover of our company. Further, we have a stockholder rights plan that is designed to cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire our company without approval of our board of directors, and thereby make a hostile takeover attempt prohibitively expensive for a potential acquiror. These provisions, among others, may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of our company, even if stockholders may consider such a change in control to be in their best interests, which may cause the price of our common stock to suffer.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to money market funds included in our investment portfolio. Investments in fixed rate earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk as their fair market value may be adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates. We do not use any hedging transactions or any financial instruments for trading purpose and we are not a party to any leveraged derivatives

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
