NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Operating results for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. The balance sheet at December 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements

On October 5, 2010 the Company authorized a 37,100.5626 to 1 split of its Membership Units. The amounts shown for Membership Units, warrants and loss per unit amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this split.

Nature of Business - 22nd Century Limited, LLC (“22nd Century”) is a plant biotechnology company founded in 1998. 22nd Century owns or exclusively controls 97 issued patents in 79 countries related to modifying the content of nicotinic alkaloids in plants, specifically tobacco plants, through genetic engineering and plant breeding.

The overall objective of 22nd Century is to reduce smoking-related disease by increasing smoking cessation with its botanical smoking cessation aid, X-22 and reducing the harm to smokers with 22nd Century’s potential modified risk cigarettes, Brand A and Brand B for smokers unwilling to quit. 22nd Century does not currently and does not intend to market conventional cigarettes.

22nd Century is primarily involved in the following activities:

The development of its botanical smoking cessation aid, X-22;

The development of its modified risk tobacco products, Brand A and Brand B;

The pursuit of necessary regulatory approvals/authorizations at the FDA to market X-22 as a prescription smoking cessation aid and Brand A and Brand B as modified risk tobacco products in the U.S.;

The manufacture of research cigarettes with multiple nicotine levels (from very low to high) for the U.S. government (National Institute on Drug Abuse, a department within the National Institutes of Health);

The manufacture, marketing and distribution of Brand A and Brand B cigarettes in the traditional tobacco products market in the U.S. through its subsidiary Xodus LLC; and

The international licensing of 22nd Century’s trademarks, brands, proprietary tobaccos, and technology.

Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Xodus, LLC, a subsidiary of 22nd Century (collectively, the “Company”). 22nd Century owns 96% of the outstanding Membership Units of Xodus, LLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Inventory - The Company’s inventory consists mainly of raw materials (tobacco leaf, payments to contract tobacco growers for crops in the field and cigarette components such as filters and packaging) as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets are recorded at cost and consist primarily of expenditures incurred with third parties related to the processing of patent claims and trademarks with government authorities. The Company also capitalized costs as a result of one if its exclusively licensed patent applications (now an issued U.S. Patent) being the subject to an interference proceeding invoked by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which favorably resulted in the Company obtaining rights to a third party’s issued patent. The amounts capitalized relate to patents the Company owns or has exclusive rights to and trademarks, and exclude approximately $1.8 million recovered from a former licensee as direct reimbursements of costs incurred. These capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining statutory life of the Company’s current primary patent family, which expires in 2019 (the assets’ estimated lives). Periodic maintenance or renewal fees, which are generally due on an annual basis are expensed as incurred. Annual minimum license fees are charged to expenses in the year the licenses are effective. Total patent and trademark costs capitalized and accumulated amortization amounted to $1,927,041and $455,276, respectively, as of September 30, 2010 ($1,817,709 and $333,542, respectively, as of December 31, 2009).

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company reviews the carrying value of its amortizing long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be recoverable.

The Company assesses recoverability of the asset by estimating the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and its fair value. There was no impairment loss recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 or 2009.

Debt Discounts - The Company accounts for warrants issued to note holders as inducement to provide financing for the Company in accordance with the FASB’s guidance on Accounting for Convertible Debt and Convertible Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Fair value of the warrants is determined by unit price according to recent equity transactions since there is no vesting period and a negligible exercise price. The proceeds allocated to the warrant based on the fair value is recorded as a debt discount and amortized over the life of the corresponding financing as interest expense.

Research and Development - Research and development costs are expensed as incurred

Loss Per Common Membership Unit - Basic loss per common unit is computed using the weighted-average number of common units outstanding. Diluted loss per unit is computed assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive instruments. Potential common units outstanding are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Commitment and Contingency Accounting - The Company evaluates each commitment and/or contingency in accordance with the accounting standards, which state that if an item is more likely than not to become a direct liability then the Company will record the liability in the financial statements. If not, the Company will disclose any material commitments or contingencies that may arise.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification – Certain items in 2009 were reclassified to conform to the classifications adopted in 2010.

Subsequent Events – These financial statements have not been updated for any events occurring after December 13, 2010.

NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

Since 2006, 22nd Century has experienced limited revenues and incurred substantial operating losses as it transitioned from being only a licensor of its proprietary technology and tobaccos to commercializing its own tobacco products. At September 30, 2010, the Company had current assets of approximately $383,000 and current liabilities of approximately $3,954,000. The Company needs to raise additional capital to reduce outstanding current liabilities and complete the FDA-approval process for X-22. The Company’s ability to reduce outstanding current liabilities, undertake and complete the necessary clinical trials and related activities for FDA-approval of X-22 will be dependent upon additional funding. On February 24, 2010 the Company engaged Rodman & Renshaw, LLC to serve as exclusive placement agent, on a best efforts basis, to raise equity capital in the Company. Since September 30, 2010, the Company has received additional equity and debt financing from some of its members totaling approximately $277,000 which should be sufficient to cover the Company’s cash needs through the conclusion of the Rodman & Renshaw private placement, which is currently expected to close by December 30, 2010. The ability to complete this equity placement and other future financings on acceptable terms will depend on a number of factors, including the general performance of the capital markets, the Company’s progress in the FDA approval process and the manufacture, distribution and sale of its products. Any equity financing will be dilutive to the Company’s existing shareholders ownership percentages.

Pending FDA approval regarding its products, the Company also expects to generate cash from the sale of cigarettes for research purposes and to tobacco product distributors. On August 30, 2010, the Company received an initial purchase order from a research customer totaling $152,660 for 1.15 million cigarettes; of which $40,604 was billed as of September 30, 2010. The Company expects to receive two more purchase orders for an additional 8.275 million cigarettes over the next six months and several additional orders of approximately the same magnitude over the next five years.

The Company’s believes, but can offer no assurances that the above business plans will provide sufficient cash flow to fund the Company’s operations during 2011.

NOTE 3 - AMOUNTS OWED NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY (“NCSU”)

Pursuant to the terms of an exclusive license agreement with NCSU, the Company owes NCSU approximately $1,118,000 as of September 30, 2010 for patent costs ($1,045,000 as of December 31, 2009), including the costs associated with the interference invoked by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. These amounts are included in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company is required to pay these amounts within thirty days of being invoiced and they are past due. The Company has made payments on account from time to time and plans substantial or complete payment to NCSU. NCSU has the right to send a 60-day written notice to Company to demand payment and claim interest on the balance, and if the total amount is not paid within 60 days, NCSU may elect to terminate the license agreement. In a letter agreement dated September 21, 2010 between NCSU and the Company, which was requested by the Company to facilitate its equity capital raise discussed in Note 2, NSCU has agreed it would not exercise any rights it may have to terminate the agreement through December 1, 2010 for non-payment of such patent costs. Subsequent to the letter agreement not to terminate, NCSU may have the right to cancel the exclusive license agreement, but can only do so with a 60-day prior written notice, including the opportunity to cure within this timeframe (as of December 13, 2010 no such notice from NCSU has been received by the Company). As of September 30, 2010, patent costs associated with the exclusive license agreements that could potentially be terminated had a carrying value of approximately $850,000. Additionally, NCSU has not imposed interest charges on past due amounts invoiced to the Company and as such the Company has not recorded accrued interest or interest expense as of September 30, 2010. The Company intends to pay a substantial portion of the outstanding payable in the event it concludes the Rodman & Renshaw private placement discussed in Note 2.

NOTE 4 - DEMAND BANK LOANS

The demand loans are payable to two commercial banks under revolving credit agreements. In both cases the loans are guaranteed by a member of the Company.

The first demand loan has a balance of $174,925 at both September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The Company is required to pay interest monthly at 0.75% above the prime rate, 4.00% all-in at September 30, 2010 (4.00% - December 31, 2009). The Company has met this interest payment obligation. The terms of the demand loan includes an annual “clean-up” provision, which require the Company to repay all principal amounts outstanding. The Company has not complied with this requirement; however, the bank has not demanded payment.

The second demand loan has a balance of $64,427 at September 30, 2010 ($71,840 at December 31, 2009) which was paid in the fourth quarter of 2010 and this revolving credit facility is closed.

On December 30, 2009, Virgil agreed to rescind these warrants. In consideration of the rescission of warrants, the Company agreed to convert certain cash advances totaling $271,992 from the two members of the Company that own Vigil into 1,009,106 Membership Units of the Company. The note remained unpaid at the maturity date however no demand for repayment has been made by the note holder.

NOTE 5 - NOTES PAYABLE (continued)

Notes dated September 15 and October 15, 2009 (unsecured) - On September 15 and October 15, 2009, the Company issued two notes payable to the same third party in the amounts of $15,000 and $10,000, respectively. In conjunction with the $15,000 note, a warrant to purchase 185,503 membership units at less than $.0001 per unit was issued, and in conjunction with the $10,000 note, a warrant to purchase 92,751 Membership Units at less than $.0001 per unit was issued. The warrants were valued at $11,301 for the $15,000 note and $6,962 for the $10,000 and recorded as discounts to the respective notes payable and are being amortized over the term of each note which significantly adjusts the effective interest rate. The intrinsic value of the warrants at the time of issuance was determined to be $68,750; the debt discount recorded was based on allocating the $25,000 in transaction proceeds proportionally between the notes and the warrants. The notes bear interest at a rate of 10% and the outstanding principal and interest is due and payable at maturity. As of September 30, 2010, the total outstanding principal and unamortized debt discounts for the two notes amounted to $25,000 and $5,775 ($25,000 and $13,517 – December 31, 2009), respectively. As of May 27, 2010, the maturity dates of these notes were extended to January 31, 2012.

Note Dated May 27, 2010 (unsecured) – During the first quarter of 2010 the holder of the Notes dated September 15 and October 15, 2009 advanced additional funds, totaling $450,000, to the Company and obtained conversion rights to warrants to acquire Membership Units. In March 2010 $225,000 was converted into warrants to acquire approximately 1,706,626 Membership Units and this amount was recorded as equity. Pursuant to an agreement effective on May 27, 2010 the Company issued warrants to acquire approximately 1,409,821 Membership Units and a note for $45,000 in exchange for the remaining $225,000 advanced. The note bears interest at 10%, which is due with the principal amount on January 31, 2012.

Subordinated note Dated December 30, 2009 (unsecured) - On December 30, 2009, the Company issued a subordinated note to a member in exchange for advances the member previously made to the Company. The original amount of the note was $30,054 and, in June 2010, the Company agreed to allow the principal and accrued interest to be converted into 165,951 Membership Units.

NOTE 6 - DUE TO RELATED PARTY

Alternative Cigarettes, Inc. (“AC”) is entirely owned by certain members of the Company. The net amount due to AC as a result of advances, repayments and expenses incurred and reimbursed amounted to $33,270 as of September 30, 2010 ($126,970 – December 31, 2009). No interest has been accrued or paid on amount due to AC and there are no repayment terms.

NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair value of cash, advances from members and related party, demand bank loans and notes payable approximate the carrying value due to their short-term nature. In applying the accounting standards for fair value determination the Company has taken into account what the Company would have to pay someone to take over its debt obligations. Considerable judgment is required in developing estimates of fair value. Therefore, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company would realize in a current market exchange.

The estimated fair value of long-term debt is summarized as follows:

September 30, 2010				December 31, 2009
Carrying		Estimated		Carrying		Estimated
Amount		Fair Value		Amount		Fair Value

$	64,224	$	60,000	$	141,551	$	90,000

Differences between fair value and carrying amount of long-term debt are primarily due to instruments that provide fixed interest or contain fixed interest rate elements. Inherently, such instruments are subject to fluctuations in fair value due to subsequent movements in interest rates that are available to the Company.

NOTE 8 – MEMBERSHIP UNIT WARRANTS

The Company has granted membership unit warrants in connection with borrowings as an additional incentive for providing financing to the Company and as additional compensation to officers, consultants and advisors. The warrants are granted with a conversion price of less than $.0001 and the number of warrants issued has been negotiated based on the agreement at the time of the grant. The warrants have been issued for terms of two to five years.
