AURIGA LABORATORIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)
1. | COMPANY OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION. |
Auriga Laboratories, Inc. is the first specialty pharmaceutical company building a nationwide commission-based sales model. The company’s business model combines driving revenues through a variable cost commission-based sales structure, acquisition of proven brand names, introduction of new brands, and a strategic development pipeline, all of which are designed to enhance the growing direct relationships with physicians nationwide.
An innovative, commission-only sales force structure allows the company to cover sales territories that traditionally would not be a focus for large pharmaceutical companies. By the end of 2007, the company expects to have a total of 500 full-time equivalent sales representatives.
The Company operates out of four divisions. The first is the Auriga Branded Prescriptions division which focuses on the respiratory, dermatology, oncology and psychiatry markets. The second is the Auriga Consumer Brands division focusing initially in the respiratory over-the-counter and hair care markets. The third is the Advanced Topical Solutions Pharmaceuticals division which is dedicated primarily to Dermatologists with a secondary focus on Gastroenterologists and Colon-Rectal Specialists. The fourth is the Stesso Pharmaceuticals division which will commence distribution of authorized generic versions of our branded products that are facing competition from generic or therapeutically equivalent products during 2007.
The Company’s corporate strategy focuses on two primary objectives. The first is building an innovative, nationwide sales model that drives revenue through a variable cost, commission-only structure. The second is developing a diversified product portfolio by acquiring proven brands, the introduction of line extensions, reformulations, and the strategic development of our own products.
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the records of the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of only normal recurring adjustments to present fairly the financial position at June 30 2007, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, have been made. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the nine month transitional period ending December 31, 2006 and from Inception to March 31, 2006 contained in the Company’s Current Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2007. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. |
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and consolidated notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” include cash, receivables, prepaid expenses, payables, accrued expenses, royalties payable and short-term borrowings. All instruments are accounted for on an historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year to conform to the current presentation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly-liquid investments, with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition, to be cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products, including shipping fees, if any, when title to the products is transferred to the customer (which usually occurs on delivery) and when collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue from sales of the Company’s products is recorded, net of allowances. According to the terms of the Company’s sales contracts, a customer may only return up to a specified maximum amount of product under certain conditions. Sales return allowances for product returns and contractual rebates are calculated based upon current economic conditions and the underlying contractual terms as product is sold.
Accounting for Stock Options and Warrants Granted to Employees and Non-Employees
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a revision to SFAS No. 123R, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.” This statement supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related implementation guidance. This statement establishes standards for the accounting of transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This statement does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in SFAS No. 123R. This statement does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-6, “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans.” The Company expects no changes to its financial reporting as a result of the application of the foregoing because it is already reporting and complying with the fair value method of SFAS No. 123R.
Provision for Taxes
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance has been recorded against deferred tax assets as management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income(loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income(loss) by the weighted average number of basic shares outstanding increased by the number of shares that would be outstanding assuming conversion of the exercisable stock options and warrants. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share as of three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 as inclusion of the common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive. A total of 26,739,968 and 14,021,995 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants were excluded from the calculation of common stock equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. An entity would report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The decision about whether to elect the fair value option is applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions; the decision is irrevocable; and it is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. The statement requires disclosures that facilitate comparisons (a) between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities and (b) between assets and liabilities in the financial statements of an entity that selects different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS 157”). Upon implementation, an entity shall report the effect of the first remeasurement to fair value as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of Retained Earnings. Since the provisions of SFAS 159 are applied prospectively, any potential impact will depend on the instruments selected for fair value measurement at the time of implementation. Management is evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 159 and has not yet determined the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarified the accounting for uncertain income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under FIN 48, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 on January 1, 2007. The Company recognized no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the adoption of FIN 48.

Related-Party Senior Secured Convertible Note
On August 4, 2006, the Company issued to Sorrento Financial Partners, LLC (“SFP”) a senior secured convertible note (the “SFP Note”) in the principal amount of $632,000. The SFP Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is due and payable in full on May 15, 2007. Accrued interest on the SFP Note is payable monthly in arrears. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is the beneficial owner of SFP. Of the SFP Note’s principal amount of $632,000, (i) $400,000 represents funds advanced by SFP to the Company, and (ii) $232,000 represents an accrued bonus that was owed by the Company to its CEO. At SFP’s option, the SFP Note is convertible, in whole or in part and at any time after August 4, 2006 and prior to the SFP Note’s full repayment, into shares of Common Stock. The number of shares that are issuable upon a conversion of the SFP Note is equal to the amount determined by dividing (i) the outstanding principal amount of the SFP Note to be converted by (ii) the conversion price of $1.388.
On January 25, 2007, the Company and SFP executed a letter agreement amending the SFP Note. The letter agreement serves to:
| • | Amend the interest rate as follows: |
| • | For the period from August 4, 2006 through February 14, 2007, the SFP Note shall bear interest at the annual rate of eight percent (8%); and |

| • | Amend the maturity date of the SFP Note by extending such date to October 15, 2007. |
On April 12, 2007, SFP elected to convert the remaining outstanding principal under the SFP Note into common stock of the Company. The outstanding balance of $500,000 was converted at the stated conversion price of $1.388 per share. As a result, SFP was issued 360,230 shares of common stock of the Company.
Related-Party Senior Secured Promissory Note
On August 29, 2006, the Company issued to Levall Finance Corp. LLC (“LFC”) a senior secured promissory note (the “LFC Note”) in the principal amount of $1.5 million, the proceeds of which were used to complete the licensing agreement for the Levall® product line. The LFC Note was amended on September 28, 2006 and December 8, 2006. As amended, the LFC Note is due and payable in full on the earlier to occur of (i) the closing by the Company of an equity or debt financing, the net proceeds of which equal or exceed $1.5 million, or (ii) May 15, 2007. In lieu of interest payments, the Company issued a warrant exercisable for 1.5 million fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.92. In connection with this warrant, the Company recorded $1,267,350 as a loan discount, which will be amortized over the life of the loan. As of June 30, 2006, the Company expensed $1,267,350 of this loan discount as interest expense, of which $219,350 was expensed during the three months ended June 30, 2007. The warrant provides LFC with “piggyback” registration rights with respect to shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of the warrant. The LFC Note requires the Company to make quarterly payments to LFC, commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2006, equal to 6.0% of gross sales by the Company (less customary deductions) of the Levall® product line during the preceding quarter. This payment obligation continues in perpetuity.
The LFC Note is secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in all of the Company’s assets. The first priority security provided by the Company is on a pro-rata basis and pari passu to the senior secured note entered into by the Company and Aquoral Finance Corp. LLC (“AFC”) dated September 28, 2006 and is senior in right of payment to any and all of the Company’s other indebtedness. The Company can prepay all or any portion of the LFC Note at any time without premium or penalty. As a condition to the foregoing transaction, the Company and SFP were required to enter into a subordination agreement with LFC pursuant to which SFP agreed that all amounts owed to it by the Company would be subordinated to amounts owed to LFC.
SFP is the managing member of LFC. The Company’s CEO contributed $125,000 to LFC in exchange for his ownership interest in LFC. The remaining contributions to LFC were made by individuals who are not affiliates of the Company. On April 3, 2007, the Company paid to LFC $750,000 towards the outstanding balance of the LFC Note. The remaining balance of $750,000 was paid on May 15, 2007.
Related-Party Senior Secured Promissory Note
On September 28, 2006, the Company issued to AFC a senior secured promissory note (the “AFC Note”). The AFC Note provided for up to $1.5 million of advances to be made by AFC from time to time, each advance requiring the Company’s consent. The proceeds from the AFC Note were used to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the distribution agreement with Carilène. All amounts advanced under the AFC Note are due and payable in full on the earlier to occur of (i) the closing by the Company of an equity or debt financing, the gross proceeds of which equal or exceed $1.5 million (exclusive of advances made under the AFC Note), or (ii) March 31, 2007. The AFC Note requires the Company to make quarterly payments to AFC, commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2007, equal to 0.5% of the gross sales by the Company (less customary deductions) of its recently acquired Aquoral™ product line during the preceding quarter for every $125,000 of outstanding funds advanced under the AFC Note. This payment obligation continues in perpetuity.
The AFC Note was secured by a first-priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets and is senior in right of payment to any and all of the Company’s other indebtedness, except that the AFC Note is pari passu with the Company’s $1.5 million obligation to LFC. As additional consideration, the Company agreed that, concurrent with each advance made by AFC under the AFC Note, it would issue to AFC a five-year warrant to acquire one share of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, for each one dollar so advanced. The warrant provides AFC with “piggyback” registration rights with respect to shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of such warrant. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had issued warrants to acquire up to 968,750 shares of Common Stock. In connection with these warrants, the Company recorded $676,509 as a loan discount that was amortized over the life of the loan. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had expensed all $676,509 of this loan discount as interest expense, of which $348,348 was expensed during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
SFP is the managing member of AFC. The Company’s CEO contributed $125,000 to AFC in exchange for his ownership interest in AFC. The remaining contributions to AFC were made by individuals who are not affiliates of the Company. Affiliates of the Company may make additional contributions to AFC to fund a portion of future advances under the AFC Note.
On April 2, 2007, the Company paid to AFC $968,750 as payment in full of the AFC Note.
The Company believes that all of the transactions set forth above were made on terms no less favorable to it than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties. The Company intends that all future transactions with affiliated persons be approved by a majority of the Board, including a majority of the independent and disinterested outside directors on the Board, and be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
12. Concentrations
Customers
During the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, two customers, each a wholesale distributor, accounted for a combined total of approximately 59% and 31% of the Company’s revenues, respectively.

No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s sales during the respective periods.
Suppliers
Some of the Company’s products are currently sourced from single qualified suppliers or manufacturers. The Company has not established arrangements with the alternative suppliers for these ingredients or from alternative manufacturers for the manufacture of our products.

13. Commitments and Contingencies.
Athlon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. License Agreement
On August 31, 2006, the Company entered into a License Agreement with Athlon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Athlon”) that sets forth the terms upon which the Company obtained the Levall® license from Athlon for the Levall® product line, together with all of Athlon’s intellectual property related to Levall® and certain other tangible and intangible assets related to, or necessary for the continued development and marketing of, the Levall® product line. The Levall® product line consists of various pharmaceutical products marketed by Athlon that provide relief from coughing, congestion and rhinitis associated with respiratory infections such as the common cold, influenza, bronchitis and sinusitis. The Levall® license permits the Company to make, sell, market, distribute, import and otherwise transfer the Levall® products on a worldwide basis. As consideration for the Levall® license, the Company agreed to pay Athlon $1.5 million in upfront fees and 2,500,000 shares of its restricted common stock. Additionally, the Company also agreed to pay Athlon a royalty payment equal to 50% of net sales up to $10,000,000 through the end of the first year following the closing date of the license agreement, with such rate to decrease to 20% for net sales in excess of $10,000,000. The royalty payments for the second and third years of the license agreement were equal to 35% of net sales and 25% of net sales, respectively. In addition, the license agreement provided for royalty payments equal to 8% of net sales for each year following the third year until such time as the aggregate royalty payments totaled $20,000,000, plus royalty payments equal to 1% of net sales for each year subsequent thereto.
On February 9, 2007, the Company filed a lawsuit against Athlon in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia under the caption Auriga Laboratories, Inc. v. Athlon Pharmaceuticals, Inc., No. 1:07-CV-0308-CC (2007), regarding certain sales practices allegedly engaged in by Athlon regarding the Levall® products. On February 23, 2007, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Athlon to settle this dispute. The settlement agreement provides that Athlon will refrain from certain allegedly unfair competitive practices, including making or distributing false, misleading, deceptive or disparaging statements, representations and/or writings regarding the Company and/or the Levall® products. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to dismiss the litigation referred to above by filing a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice within five business days following the execution of the settlement agreement. The settlement agreement also contains certain customary terms, including releases by each of the parties for any and all claims each may have against the other through the date of the settlement agreement.
The letter agreement entered into with Athlon in connection with the settlement agreement amends the license agreement by reducing the period of time for which the Company is obligated to make royalty payments at the rate of 50% of net sales from the first year following the closing date of the license agreement to December 31, 2006. Furthermore, effective February 1, 2007, the royalty payment rate on all sales by the Company is reduced to 25% of net sales, until such time as the aggregate royalty payments total $10,000,000. Once aggregate royalty payments total $10,000,000, the Company will not be required to make any further royalty payments to Athlon, thus potentially reducing the total royalty payments required under the license agreement by approximately $10,000,000.
In addition, the letter agreement reduces the frequency of the Company’s reporting and payment obligations. The license agreement previously required monthly reports and payments until such time as the aggregate royalty payments equaled or exceeded $10,000,000, with such reports and payments to be made on a quarterly basis thereafter. The license agreement now only requires quarterly reports and payments.
Employment Agreements
As part of an executive employment agreement with Alan Roberts, Chief Scientific Officer, on March 1, 2007, the board of directors of the Company approved the issuance of a non-statutory stock option to purchase two hundred seventy-five thousand (275,000) shares of the Company’s common stock under its 2007 Stock Option Plan. The agreement provides for an exercise price of $1.24 per share, which is equal to the closing price as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board on the date of grant. The option vests as follows: (a) one-forth (1/4) of the option is exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant; and (b) subject to the executive’s continued employment by the Company, 1/48th of the remaining number of shares of common stock subject to the option shall vest each month thereafter. The employment agreement also contains severance provisions and other covenants.
On May 9, 2007, the Company entered into an employment agreement (the “Agreement”) with its Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Philip S. Pesin. On May 9, 2007, the Agreement became effective and superseded Mr. Pesin’s current employment agreement. The term of the Agreement is for two years, expiring on May 9, 2009. The Company has the option to extend the Agreement for an additional two-year period prior to the expiration of the initial term.
Under the Agreement, Mr. Pesin’s base salary is set at $425,000 annually, but is to be reviewed annually in accordance with the Company’s executive compensation policies. In addition, Mr. Pesin is entitled to an annual bonus, payable quarterly, based on increases in the Company’s market capitalization as follows: for every $1,000,000 increase in the Company’s market capitalization, initially measured as of May 9, 2007, Mr. Pesin will be entitled to a $10,000 bonus.
The Company may terminate Mr. Pesin’s employment at any time with or without cause. If Mr. Pesin is terminated without cause or because of death or “disability” (as that term is defined in the agreement), he will be entitled to a lump-sum severance payment equal to his base salary for a period of twenty-four months following his termination, plus continued health benefits during such period. In addition, if the Company terminates Mr. Pesin without cause, then all outstanding options and warrants held by him will vest immediately. Mr. Pesin receives no benefits if he is terminated for cause.
If Mr. Pesin resigns for “good cause” (as that term is defined in the agreement) or resigns following the Company’s change in control, then he will be entitled to a lump-sum severance payment equal to his base salary for a period of twenty-four months following his termination, plus continued health benefits during such period. In addition, in such event, all outstanding options and warrants held by Mr. Pesin will vest immediately.
Under the Agreement, Mr. Pesin is also entitled to earn long-term incentive awards and to participate in all other benefits plans and perquisites in which the Company’s other executives and employees are eligible to participate, at the discretion of the Board. Mr. Pesin is also entitled to five weeks paid vacation per year and to reimbursement of certain expenses.
The Agreement also provides for the grant to Mr. Pesin of a nonstatutory stock option to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, with an exercise price of $1.57, which is the closing price of the common stock of the Company on the OTC Bulletin Board on May 9, 2007. The option vests as follows: (i) twenty-five percent of the option is exercisable on May 9, 2008; and (ii) subject to Mr. Pesin’s continued service as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, 1/24th of the total number of shares of common stock subject to the option will vest each month thereafter.

Private Placement
On April 2, 2007, the Company initially sold in a private placement 1,600,000 Units at a price of $1.25 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,000,000. Each Unit was comprised of one share of our common stock and one common stock warrant. Each common stock warrant included in the Units entitles the holder to purchase one-fifth of a share of the company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share through April 2, 2010. The Units were sold solely to accredited investors. During the second quarter of 2007, the Company extended the private placement to over allotments. The Company sold an additional 1,000,000 Units at a price of $1.25 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,250,000. The final subscription proceeds were received on July 27, 2007.

| Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation. |
Investors should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related consolidated notes of Auriga Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB (“Form 10-QSB”) and our Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2007, which includes our audited financial statements and related notes for the periods from April 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006 and April 12, 2005 (“Inception”) through March 31, 2006 (under the name of Multi-Link Telecommunications, Inc.).
OVERVIEW
Auriga Laboratories, Inc. is the first specialty pharmaceutical company building a nationwide commission-based sales model. The company’s high-growth business model combines driving revenues through a variable cost commission-based sales structure, acquisition of proven brand names, introduction of new brands, and a strategic development pipeline, all of which are designed to enhance the growing direct relationships with physicians nationwide.
An innovative, commission-only sales force structure allows the company to cover sales territories that traditionally would not be a focus for large pharmaceutical companies. By the end of 2007, the company expects to have a total of 500 full-time equivalent sales representatives.
The company operates out of four divisions. The first is the Auriga Branded Prescriptions division which focuses on the respiratory, dermatology, oncology and psychiatry markets. We are focused on delivering unique solutions for the respiratory, dermatology and psychiatry markets. Our product portfolio consists of our Aquoral™, Zinx™, Akurza™, Xyralid™, Extendryl® and Levall® product lines. Our Aquoral™ product line, which we launched in February 2007, after receiving marketing clearance from the Food and Drug Administration, is a prescription-only device for the treatment of xerostomia, or the condition of dry mouth. Our Zinx™ products are indicated for relief of symptoms associated with the common cold and allergies. Our Extendryl® and Levall® families of prescription products are indicated for relief of symptoms associated with a range of acute respiratory diseases. The Company is able to sell this product pursuant to the Drug Efficacy Study Implementation program.
The second division is the Advanced Topical Solutions Pharmaceuticals division which is dedicated primarily to Dermatologists with a secondary focus on Gastroenterologists and Colon-Rectal Specialists. Within the Dermatology sector, the initial product focus will be dermatologists who prescribe AKURZA™ Cream & Lotion (salicylic acid 6%) and Xyralid™ LP Lotion (lidocaine HCl 3%/hydrocortisone acetate 0.5%) convenience kit that also contains Clere(TM), a soap free cleanser. Currently, this division does not market any products to gastroenterologists and colon-rectal specialists.
The third division is the Auriga Consumer Brands division which will focus its efforts to market products to consumers, both direct and through retail chains. The initial focus of this division will be to market nasal gel, hair growth and over-the-counter respiratory products.
The fourth is the Stesso Pharmaceuticals division which will commence distribution of authorized generic versions of our branded products that are facing competition from generic or therapeutically equivalent products during the latter part of 2007.
The Company’s corporate strategy focuses on two primary objectives. The first is building an innovative, nationwide sales model that drives revenue through a variable cost, commission-only structure. The second is developing a diversified product portfolio by acquiring proven brands, the introduction of line extensions, reformulations, and the strategic development of our own products.
On June 6, 2007, Auriga Laboratories, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") entered into a Licensing and Distribution Agreement ("Licensing Agreement ") with Laboratoires Carilène S.A.S a corporation existing under the laws of France, ("Supplier"). Under the terms of the License Agreement, Supplier has granted to the Company an exclusive license in the United States to sell, market, distribute, sublicense and exploit the lotion and shampoo products which incorporate Supplier's Silicium 44 ingredient ("Products"). Supplier will provide, and the Company will purchase from Supplier, all of the Company's needs for the Products. The Company will pay nonrefundable premiums totaling $1.5 million, as follows: $250,000 upon commercial launch of the Products in the United States, $500,000 within 90 days after commercial launch, and $750,000 upon the earlier of twelve months after the commercial launch of the Product or at the time that the Company achieves $5,000,000 of net sales in the first year. The Company will pay royalties equal to five percent (5 %) on net sales.
On May 24, 2007, the Company announced that it had acquired the exclusive license to market a new over-the-counter intranasal lubricant developed by Dr. Donald Carter, MD, PC, a Colorado based Otolaryngologist.. Licensing this nasal gel is part of Auriga's strategic plan to grow its Consumer Brands Division which includes the launch of the aforementioned Zinx Lozenges into the OTC cough/cold category last February and introduction of additional Zinx OTC products this summer.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since the end of our last fiscal year. For detailed information on our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our financial statements and notes thereto included in this Form 10-QSB and the audited financial statements as of and for the period from April 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006 included in our Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2007.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates including, among others, those affecting revenues, the allowance for doubtful accounts, and the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets. The discussion below is intended to be a brief discussion of some of the judgments and uncertainties that can impact the application of these policies and the specific dollar amounts reported in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our 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, or if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. Many of our estimates or judgments are based on anticipated future events or performance, and as such are forward-looking in nature, and are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including those discussed above and elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise this discussion to reflect any future events or circumstances.
We have identified below some of our accounting policies that we consider critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. This is neither a complete list of all of our accounting policies, nor does it include all the details surrounding the accounting policies we have identified. There are other accounting policies that are significant to us. For a more detailed discussion on the application of these and our other accounting policies, please refer to our “Consolidated Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included herein and to our “Consolidated Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in our Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2007.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
We recognize revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products, including shipping fees, if any, when title to the product is transferred to the customer (which usually occurs on delivery) and when collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue from sales of our products is recorded, net of allowances. According to the terms of our sales contracts, a customer may return up to a specified maximum amount of product if it is damaged, within six months of expired or has expired in the last twelve months. We calculate sales return allowances for product returns and contractual rebates based upon current economic conditions and the underlying contractual terms as product is sold. We recognize royalty revenue when it is earned.
OPERATING EXPENSES
We have segregated our recurring operating expenses among four categories: cost of goods sold, including royalties; sales, marketing and trade expenses; general and administrative expenses; and research and development. Cost of goods sold includes the direct costs associated with materials and supplies, royalties and distribution. Sales, marketing and trade expenses include salaries for sales and marketing staff, advertising and promotional expenses, samples used by the sales force, market research and travel expenses. General and administrative expenses includes salaries and benefits for our executives, business development, human resources, finance, information technology staffing and general operating expenses. General operating expenses includes overall corporate expenses, such as rent, supplies, and corporate financial promotion activities. Research and development expenses includes research into development of proprietary patents, development of applications for rapid-dissolve technology, partnerships with third parties in developing proprietary drug delivery technologies and development of line extensions to our existing product lines. These expenses also include salaries and benefits, legal fees for patent reviews and scientific advisory board stipends attributable to such development activities.

The following table provides a reconciliation of gross revenues to net revenues for the unaudited, three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 for purposes of providing additional disclosure and detail to our revenues:
Reconciliation of Gross to Net Revenues | | Three months ended June 30, 2007 | | Three months ended June 30, 2006 | |
Gross revenues | | $ | 7,221,330 | | $ | 568,575 | |
Less: Sales discounts | | | (1,087,098 | ) | | (21,780 | ) |
Less: Sales returns reserve | | | (1,227,627 | ) | | (39,800 | ) |
Net Revenues | | $ | 4,906,605 | | $ | 506,995 | |
The following is a numerical summary of certain of our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006:
| | Three months ended June 30, 2007 | | Three months ended June 30, 2006 | |
Net revenues | | $ | 4,906,605 | | $ | 506,995 | |
Cost of goods sold | | | (967,012 | ) | | (330,147 | ) |

Income (loss) from operations | | | (526,316 | ) | | (3,628,042 | ) |
Other expenses | | | (709,091 | ) | | (74,745 | ) |
Net loss | | $ | (1,235,407 | ) | $ | (3,702,787 | ) |
The following analysis and discussion pertains to our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
Net Revenue. Our net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased $4,399,610, or 868%, to $4,906,605, as compared to $506,995 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. (See Below) We began operations in April, 2005 and began actively selling and promoting the Extendryl ® line during the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Extendryl ® was the Company’s only product line during the quarter ended June 30, 2006, as compared to, Aquoral™, Zinx™, Akurza™, Extendryl® and Levall® product lines during the current quarter. The increase in discounts primarily reflects the launch of large quantities of new products to major wholesalers. The increase in the sales returns reserve reflects the potential uncertainty of the FDA action described further in Risk Factors - FDA Action Regarding Guaifenesin.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods, which includes materials, royalties, and distribution costs for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased $636,865, or 193%, to $967,012, as compared to $330,147 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase in cost of goods sold was a result of higher revenue during the current quarter, partially offset by the change in the product mix reflecting favorable royalty terms.
Sales, Marketing and Trade Expenses. Sales, marketing and trade expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased $81,074, or 5%, to $1,625,014, as compared to $1,543,940 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in sales, marketing and trade expenses was primarily due to $57,244 of non-cash equity instrument costs for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Increased commission-based sale expenses and training during the three month period ending June 30 2007, were offset by the reduced costs associated with salaried sales representatives under the sales model that existed prior to July 2006. We anticipate that the commission expense will continue to increase as we expand our nationwide presence.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased $434,039, or 22%, to $2,428,129, as compared to $1,994,090 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Total general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased from 393% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 to 49% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Increased general and administrative expenses were primarily related to additional headcount, salary increases and bonus related expenses. Additionally, $135,345 of the increase can be attributed to an increase in non-cash amortization expense. General and administrative expenses excluding non-cash compensation, depreciation and amortization as a percentage of net revenue decreased from 167% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 to 29% for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses increased $145,906, or 55%, to $412,766 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to $266,860 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase was primarily due to $124,785 of non-cash equity instrument costs related to staff additions and also our increased investment in development projects.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $183,198 to $227,651 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $44,453 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The interest expense is primarily comprised of non-cash, discount amortization on two senior secured promissory notes that began during the three months ended September 30, 2006 and were paid off completely in April 2007. As of April 2007, the company no longer has any long-term debt.
Other Expenses. Other Expenses increased $451,148 to $481,440 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $30,292 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in other expenses is primarily attributed bad debt expense of approximately $300,000 and higher customer discounts based on increased sales volume.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006
The following table provides a reconciliation of gross revenues to net revenues for the unaudited, six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 for purposes of providing additional disclosure and detail to our revenues:
Reconciliation of Gross to Net Revenues | | Six months ended June 30, 2007 | | Six months ended June 30, 2006 | |
Gross revenues | | $ | 16,120,553 | | $ | 3,756,340 | |
Less: Sales discounts | | | (2,349,406 | ) | | (190,244 | ) |
Less: Sales returns reserve | | | (2,098,517 | ) | | (39,800 | ) |
Net Revenues | | $ | 11,672,630 | | $ | 3,526,296 | |
The following is a numerical summary of certain of our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006:
| | Six months ended June 30, 2007 | | Six months ended June 30, 2006 | |
Net revenues | | $ | 11,672,630 | | $ | 3,526,296 | |
Cost of goods sold | | | (3,116,463 | ) | | (1,365,798 | ) |
Gross profit | | | 8,556,167 | | | 2,160,498 | |
Operating expenses | | | (8,972,638 | ) | | (6,827,068 | ) |
Income (loss) from operations | | | (416,471 | ) | | (4,666,570 | ) |
Other expenses | | | (1,795,346 | ) | | (2,120,454 | ) |
Net loss | | $ | (2,211,817 | ) | $ | (6,787,024 | ) |
The following analysis and discussion pertains to our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Net Revenue. Our net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $8,146,334, or 231%, to $11,672,630, as compared to $3,526,296 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. We began operations in April, 2005 and began actively selling and promoting the Extendryl ® line during the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Extendryl ® was the Company’s only product line during the quarter ended June 30, 2006, as compared to, Aquoral™, Zinx™, Akurza™, Extendryl® and Levall® product lines during the current quarter. The increase in discounts primarily reflects the launch of large quantities of new products to major wholesalers. The increase in the sales returns reserve reflects the potential uncertainty of the FDA action described further in Risk Factors - FDA Action Regarding Guaifenesin.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods, which includes materials, royalties, and distribution costs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $1,750,664, or 128%, to $3,116,463, as compared to $1,365,798 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase in cost of goods sold was a result of higher revenue during the current quarter, partially offset by the change in the product mix reflecting favorable royalty terms.
Sales, Marketing and Trade Expenses. Sales, marketing and trade expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $209,035, or 7%, to $3,380,073, as compared to $3,171,038 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in sales, marketing and trade expenses was primarily due to $364,017 of non-cash equity instrument costs for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Increased commission-based sale expenses, samples, and training during the six month period ending June 30 2007, were offset by the reduced costs associated with salaried sales representatives under the sales model that existed prior to July 2006. We anticipate that the commission expense will continue to increase as we expand our nationwide presence.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $1,322,564, or 41%, to $4,557,510, as compared to $3,234,946 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Increased general and administrative expenses were primarily related to additional headcount, salary increases and bonus related expenses. Additionally, year-over-year non-cash expenses in the form of equity and amortization increased by $691,088, and $257,246, respectively. Total general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased from 92% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 39% for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses increased $613,969, or 146%, to $1,035,055 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $421,084 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was primarily due to $515,896 of non-cash equity instrument costs related to staff additions and also our increased investment in development projects. We expect expenses in this area to continue to increase in the future as we develop new products designed to significantly increase our market share in our targeted market areas.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $1,017,860 to $1,122,132 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $104,272 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The interest expense is primarily comprised of non-cash, discount amortization on two senior secured promissory notes that began during the three months ended September 30, 2006. The balance of this expense is primarily related to the note payable owed to a related party for a convertible secured note.
Other Expenses. Other Expenses increased $643,624 to $673,214 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $29,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in other expenses is primarily attributed to bad debt expense of approximately $300,000 and higher customer discounts based on increased sales volume.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The following section discusses the effects of changes in our balance sheet and cash flow on our liquidity and capital resources.
Since inception, we have incurred significant operating and net losses and have historically been unable to meet our cash flow needs with internally generated funds. Our cash requirements (primarily working capital requirements and cash for product development activities) have been satisfied through borrowings and the issuance of securities in a number of private placements. At June 30 , 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of approximately $344,267, a negative working capital position of $948,585 and no long-term debt.
On May 23, 2007, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) with Comerica Bank (“Comerica”). The Loan Agreement provides for a working capital line of credit of up to $2.0 million, based on 65% of eligible accounts receivable, secured by a first lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company, including intellectual property. The line of credit is repayable interest only monthly, with the principal due at the maturity date of May 31, 2008. The line of credit accrues interest at Comerica’s Prime Rate plus 1.00%. The Company paid a $10,000 origination fee in connection with the closing of the credit facility. The Loan Agreement includes customary covenants. At June 30, 2007, the Company had advances outstanding of $800,000.
On April 2, 2007, the Company sold in a private placement 1,600,000 Units at a price of $1.25 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,000,000. Each Unit was comprised of one share of our common stock and one common stock warrant. Each common stock warrant included in the Units entitles the holder to purchase one-fifth of a share of the company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share through April 2, 2010. The Units were sold solely to accredited investors. During June 2007, the Company extended the private placement to include additional investors. The Company sold an additional 1,000,000 Units at a price of $1.25 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,250,000. The final subscription proceeds were received on July 27, 2007.
On a going forward basis, management plans to continue to focus on our existing Aquoral™, Zinx™, Akurza™, Xyralid™, Extendryl®, and Levall® product lines and continue to acquire proven brand name products. We may need to continue to raise additional equity or debt financing to adequately fund our strategies and to satisfy our ongoing working capital requirements. If we are unable to obtain such financing in a timely manner, we could be forced to curtail or cease operations. Even if we are able to pursue these strategies, there can be no assurances that we will ever attain profitability. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $344,000 on June 30, 2007, as compared to approximately $260,000 at December 31, 2006. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $284,761. This use of cash was primarily the result of a net loss of $2,211,817 and net working capital changes of $3,002,000 mostly offset by $4,929,000 of non-cash items. The major factors affecting the uses of net working capital were approximate increases in accounts receivable and inventory of $3,044,000 and $1,018,000, respectively.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $364,000. The uses of cash were for purchases of fixed assets and a progress payment for a product licenses payable.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $733,000. The cash provided was primarily from approximately $2,574,000 from proceeds on stock subscriptions for the private placement offering to qualified investors that closed on July 27, 2007 and from advances on our line of credit. This was partially offset by the payment of $2,469,000 on related-party loans, payments of $132,000 on a convertible secured notes payable, and $62,000 on the Wells Fargo Bank notes payable.
On August 4, 2006, we issued to Sorrento Financial Partners, LLC (“SFP”) a senior secured convertible note (the “SFP Note”) in the principal amount of $632,000. The SFP Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is due and payable in full on May 15, 2007. Accrued interest on the SFP Note is payable monthly in arrears. Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is the beneficial owner of SFP. Of the SFP Note’s principal amount of $632,000, (i) $400,000 represents funds advanced by SFP to the Company, and (ii) $232,000 represents an accrued bonus that was owed by us to our CEO. At SFP’s option, the SFP Note is convertible, in whole or in part and at any time after August 4, 2006 and prior to the SFP Note’s full repayment, into shares of common stock. The number of shares that are issuable upon a conversion of the SFP Note is equal to the amount determined by dividing (i) the outstanding principal amount of the SFP Note to be converted by (ii) the conversion price of $1.388.
On January 25, 2007, we executed a letter agreement with SFP amending the SFP Note. The letter agreement serves to amend the interest rate, establish a new repayment schedule, amend the seniority of the SFP Note such that it is now subordinate in right of payment to any and all other indebtedness of the Company senior in time to the issuance of the SFP Note, and amend the maturity date of the SFP Note by extending such date to October 15, 2007. On February 15, 2007 $132,000 of principal was paid to SFP. On April 12, 2007, SFP elected to convert the outstanding principal under the Senior Secured Convertible Note into common stock. The outstanding balance of $500,000 was converted at the stated conversion price of $1.388 per share. As a result, SFP was issued 360,230 shares of common stock.
On August 29, 2006, we issued to Levall Finance Corp. LLC (“LFC”) a senior secured promissory note (the “LFC Note”) in the principal amount of $1.5 million, the proceeds of which were used to complete the licensing agreement for the Levall® product line. The LFC Note was amended on September 28, 2006 and December 8, 2006. As amended, the LFC Note is due and payable in full on the earlier to occur of (i) the closing by us of an equity or debt financing, the net proceeds of which equal or exceed $1.5 million, or (ii) May 15, 2007. In lieu of interest payments, we issued a warrant exercisable for 1.5 million fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.92. In connection with this warrant, we recorded $1,267,350 as a loan discount, which will be amortized over the life of the loan. As of June 30, 2006, we expensed $1,267,350 of this loan discount as interest expense, of which $219,350 was expensed during the three months ended June 30 31, 2007. The warrant provides LFC with “piggyback” registration rights with respect to shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of the warrant. The LFC Note requires us to make quarterly payments to LFC, commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2006, equal to 6.0% of gross sales by us (less customary deductions) of the Levall® product line during the preceding quarter. This payment obligation continues in perpetuity.
On April 3, 2007, we paid to LFC $750,000 towards the outstanding balance of the LFC Note. The remaining balance of $750,000 was paid on May 15, 2007.
On September 28, 2006, we issued to AFC a senior secured promissory note (the “AFC Note”). The AFC Note provides for up to $1.5 million of advances to be made by AFC from time to time, each advance requiring our consent. The proceeds from the AFC Note will be used to satisfy our obligations under the distribution agreement with Carilène. All amounts advanced under the AFC Note are due and payable in full on the earlier to occur of (i) the closing by us of an equity or debt financing, the gross proceeds of which equal or exceed $1.5 million (exclusive of advances made under the AFC Note), or (ii) March 31, 2007. The AFC Note requires us to make quarterly payments to AFC, commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2007, equal to 0.5% of the gross sales by us (less customary deductions) of its recently acquired Aquoral™ product line during the preceding quarter for every $125,000 of outstanding funds advanced under the AFC Note. This payment obligation continues in perpetuity.
The AFC Note is secured by a first-priority security interest in all of our assets and is senior in right of payment to any and all of our other indebtedness, except that the AFC Note is pari passu with our $1.5 million obligation to LFC. As additional consideration, we agreed that, concurrent with each advance made by AFC under the AFC Note, we would issue to AFC a five-year warrant to acquire one share of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, for each one dollar so advanced. The warrant provides AFC with “piggyback” registration rights with respect to shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of such warrant. As of June 30, 2007, we had issued warrants to acquire up to 968,750 shares of Common Stock. In connection with these warrants, we recorded $676,509 as a loan discount that will be amortized over the life of the loan. As of June 30, 2007, we had expensed all $676,509 of this loan discount as interest expense, of which $348,348 was expensed during the first three months of this fiscal year.
SFP is the managing member of AFC. Our CEO contributed $125,000 to AFC in exchange for his ownership interest in AFC. The remaining contributions to AFC were made by individuals who are not our affiliates. Our affiliates may make additional contributions to AFC to fund a portion of future advances under the AFC Note. On April 2, 2007, we paid to AFC $968,750 as payment in full of the AFC Note.
RISK FACTORS
Risks Related To Our Business
On May 25, 2007, FDA announced its intention to take enforcement action against companies that market drug products, which have not received formal FDA approval, in a timed-release dosage form that contain guaifenesin. In a May 29, 2007 Federal Register notice, the agency stated that the enforcement policy applies to any drug product in a timed-released form that contains guiaifenesin. See 72 Fed. Reg 29517.
The Federal Register notice stated that products that have an NDC number and are listed with the agency may continue to be manufactured until August 27, 2007. The Federal Register notice also states that, on or before November 26, 2007, affected products should not be introduced into interstate commerce.
Auriga will comply with the FDA notice and will discontinue manufacture of Extendryl® G Extended Release Tablets, Extendryl® HC Extended Release Tablets, and Zinx™ Congestion Kit products by August 27, 2007. Auriga will cease shipping these affected products into interstate commerce by November 26, 2007.
Auriga believes that the FDA enforcement action regarding the shipment of affected products into interstate commerce applies only to manufacturers, and does not extend to distributors who may continue to ship these products to exhaust existing inventory after November 26, 2007.
In addition, Auriga believes that FDA’s action is limited to guaifenesin products in timed-release or extended-release form. In the FDA’s May 25, 2007 guidance document entitled, “Questions and Answers about FDA’s Enforcement Action Against Unapproved Timed-Release Guaifenesin Products, FDA noted that, “Immediate release guaifenesin products are unaffected by today’s action and will remain on the market.” Therefore, Auriga believes that only Extendryl® G, Extendryl® HC, and Zinx™ Congestion Kit are affected by FDA’s recent action.
WE HAVE INCURRED SIGNIFICANT OPERATING AND NET LOSSES SINCE OUR INCEPTION.
We have incurred significant operating and net losses and have historically been unable to meet our cash flow needs with internally generated funds. Our cash requirements (primarily working capital requirements and cash for product development activities) have been satisfied through borrowings and the issuance of securities in a number of private placements. At June 30 , 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of approximately $344,267, a negative working capital position of $948,585 and no long-term debt. On a going forward basis, management plans to continue to focus on our existing Aquoral™, Zinx™, Akurza™, Xyralid™, Extendryl®, and Levall® product lines and continue to acquire proven brand name products. We may need to continue to raise additional equity or debt financing to adequately fund our strategies and to satisfy our ongoing working capital requirements. If we are unable to obtain such financing in a timely manner, we could be forced to curtail or cease operations. Even if we are able to pursue these strategies, there can be no assurances that we will ever attain profitability. The financial statements included herein do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Item 3. | Controls and Procedures. |
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-QSB. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us that is required to be included in our periodic reports filed with the SEC.
During the six months and quarter ended June 30, 2007, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

| Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds. |
On April 2, 2007, the Company initially sold in a private placement 1,600,000 Units at a price of $1.25 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,000,000. Each Unit was comprised of one share of our common stock and one common stock warrant. Each common stock warrant included in the Units entitles the holder to purchase one-fifth of a share of the company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share through April 2, 2010. The Units were sold solely to accredited investors. During the second quarter of 2007, the Company extended the private placement to over allotments. The Company sold an additional 1,000,000 Units at a price of $1.25 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,250,000. The final subscription proceeds were received on July 27, 2007.
