BIOCORAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
MARCH 31, 2011 (UNAUDITED)
 
Note 1 – Description of Business
 
Biocoral, Inc. (“Biocoral”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 4, 1992. Biocoral is a holding company that conducts its operations primarily through its wholly-owned European subsidiaries. Biocoral, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, are referred to collectively herein as the “Company.”

The Company’s operations consist primarily of development, manufacturing and marketing of patented high technology biomaterials, bone substitute materials made from coral, and other orthopedic, oral and maxillo-facial products, including products marketed under the trade name of Biocoral.  Most of the Company’s operations are conducted from Europe. The Company has obtained regulatory approvals to market its products throughout Europe, Canada and certain other countries. The Company owns various patents for its products which have been registered and issued in the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia and various countries throughout Europe. However, the Company has not applied for the regulatory approvals needed to market its products in the United States.
 
Note 2 – Liquidity
 
The Company had net losses of approximately $200,600 and $183,700 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $2,299,300 and $2,125,700 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The Company also had a stockholders' deficiency of approximately $4,942,900 and $4,734,700 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will need additional working capital and plans to pursue strategic alliances with well capitalized entities to improve its financial condition. Also the Company will seek additional financing from prospective investors as it has successfully done in years 2010, 2009 and 2008 and prior years. However, there is no assurance that it will be successful in accomplishing these objectives. During 2010, and pursuant to a written confirmation, an “accredited investor” provided the Company with $200,000 (See Note 7). In addition to these funds, the Company also received $108,900 from other “accredited investors” (See Note 7). The Company also received $164,500 of additional funds from “accredited investors” during the first quarter of 2011 (See Note 7). The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
(A) Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
(B) Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of Biocoral, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
 
(C) Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.  For further information, read the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed on March 31, 2011. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the full year.
 
(D) Patent Costs, Net
 
Patent costs, net, are stated at cost less accumulated amortization.  Amortization is computed using the straight line method over the shorter of the life of the patent or the estimated useful life of the technology, which ranges from 10 to 20 years.

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including patent costs, for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered.  In such circumstances, the Company will estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.  Future cash flows are the future cash inflows expected to be generated by an asset less the future outflows expected to be necessary to obtain those inflows.  If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company will recognize an impairment loss to adjust to the fair value of the asset.
 
(E) Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation–Stock Compensation”, which requires us to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards exchanged for employee services and recognize compensation cost based on this fair value over the requisite service period.
 
With respect to stock-based compensation granted to non-employees, the Company records an expense equal to the fair value of the security on the measurement date, which is the earlier of the date at which a commitment for performance is reached or the date at which the service is complete.
 
(F) Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
(G) Per Share Data
 
Basic and diluted net loss per common share for all periods presented is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as defined by ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.


Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
 
(H) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-17, which codifies SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) issued in June 2009. ASU 2009-17 requires a qualitative approach to identifying a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and requires ongoing assessment of whether an entity is a VIE and whether an interest in a VIE makes the holder the primary beneficiary of the VIE. ASU 2009-17 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-17 did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-6, Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements, which requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about recurring and nonrecurring fair-value measurements including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair-value measurements and information on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair-value measurements. ASU 2010-6 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for Level 3 reconciliation disclosures which are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-6 did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management will have, a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

Legal Proceedings
 
From time to time, the Company is party to legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of business. We accrue for these items as losses become probable and can be reasonably estimated. While the results of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Forward-Looking Statements
 
In this quarterly report, we include some forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause our operational and financial activity and results to differ from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In many cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "plan," "intend" and "continue," or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future expectations, contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial condition, or state other "forward-looking" information.
 
You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The section captioned "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operations," as well as any cautionary language in this quarterly report, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Because of the risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this quarterly report might not occur.

You should read the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this report and in conjunction with our discussion and analysis in our audited annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 which we filed on March 31, 2011.
 
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

This 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, property and equipment, stock based compensation and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The assumptions and bases for estimates used in preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements are set forth as significant accounting policies in Note 3 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report and are summarized below:

Patent costs. Patent costs consist of legal fees paid to various patent attorneys related to successful world-wide patent applications. The patent costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the patent or the estimated useful life of the technology, which ranges from 10 to 20 years. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated period of benefit. The valuation of the patents are based upon estimates as to the current value of each patent and the period of benefit and such estimates are subject to fluctuations. The value of a particular patent could fluctuate based upon factors, such as competing technology or the creation of new applications, which are not accounted for in making, but could affect, the estimates used.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.  We estimate uncollectibility of trade accounts receivable by analyzing historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.  We consider these factors to be the best available indicators of the likelihood of collection of trade accounts receivable.  However, they are subject to uncertainty, and collectibility cannot be precisely determined.
 
 
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010.

As discussed below, our operations are conducted outside the United States of America. The functional currency of our French subsidiary is the Euro and not the US Dollar.  However, our financial statements, as well as the following discussion regarding our results of operations are expressed in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, part of the variance in revenues and expenses discussed below is due to the fluctuating exchange rates in addition to the other factors discussed.

Net sales, which are solely attributable to our wholly-owned French subsidiary, totalled approximately $62,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of approximately $20,000, or 24% from approximately $82,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, This decrease is attributable to a decrease in sales of products in general, offset partially by a 1% increase in the Euro average exchange rate.

Cost of sales was approximately $22,800 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of approximately $10,500, or 32% from approximately $33,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The gross profit percentage for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately 64% or $39,700 and 60% or $49,100, respectively. The increase in our gross profit percentage during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to the sale of higher margin products in 2011.

Consulting and professional fees were approximately $73,800 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately $5,000, or 7% from approximately $68,800 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase is principally due to an increase in various consulting and professional fees.

Administrative expenses were approximately $79,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately $3,700 or 5%, from approximately $75,400 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase is principally due to an increase in various administrative expenses.

Total other income (expense) was an expense of approximately $(64,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of approximately $1,800, or 3% from an expense of approximately $(65,800) for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease resulted primarily from the approximately $7,200 decrease in other expenses in 2011.

As a result of the above, our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 totalled approximately $200,600 or $.02 per share compared to a net loss of approximately $183,700 or $.02 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  These losses per share were based on weighted average common shares outstanding of 11,443,787 for both the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we had net losses of approximately $200,600 and $183,700 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Management believes that it is likely that we will continue to incur net losses through the end of 2011.  We had a working capital deficiency of approximately $2,299,300 and $1,748,200 at March 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively. We also had a stockholders' deficiency of approximately $4,944,600 and $4,234,400 at March 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will need additional working capital and plans to pursue strategic alliances with well capitalized entities to improve its financial condition. Also the Company will seek additional financing from prospective investors as it has successfully done in years 2010, 2009, 2008 and prior years. However, there is no assurance that it will be successful in accomplishing these objectives. During 2010, and pursuant to a written confirmation, an “accredited investor” provided the Company with $200,000 (See Note 7). In addition to these funds, the Company also received the total of $108,900 from other “accredited investors” (See Note 7). The Company also received $164,500 of additional funds from “accredited investors” during the first quarter of 2011 (See Note 7).


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
In the normal course of business, operations of the Company are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currencies. These fluctuations can vary the cost of financing, investment yields and operations of the Company.
 
The Company does not have any investments that would be classified as trading securities under generally accepted accounting principles.
 
The Company’s foreign currency risk exposure results from fluctuating currency exchange rates, primarily the U.S. dollar against the European currencies. The Company faces transactional currency exposures that arise when its foreign subsidiaries (or the Company itself) enter into transactions, denominated in currencies other than their local currency. The Company also faces currency exposure that arises from translating the results of its global operations to the U.S. dollar at exchange rates that have fluctuated from the beginning of the period. The Company has not used financial derivatives to hedge against fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Based on the Company’s overall exposure for foreign currency at March  31, 2011, a hypothetical 10 percent change in foreign currency rates would not have a material impact on the Company’s balance sheet, net sales, net income or cash flows over a one-year period.
 
We conduct much of our business operations (and incur substantially all of our operating costs other than professional and consulting fees) through our European subsidiaries in Euros and, as such, are exposed to risk resulting from the fluctuation of exchange rates between the Euro and the US Dollar.  We do not engage in any hedging or other transactions for the purpose of minimizing this risk. (See “Item 2 -- Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of the effect of Euro/Dollar fluctuations on our results of operations.)

Marketable Securities
 
We do not have any investments in marketable securities that would be classified as trading securities under generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

From time to time, our Company is party to several legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of business. We accrue for these items as losses become probable and can be reasonably estimated. While the results of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
 
Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There are no material changes to the risk factors disclosed under Item 1A to Part I of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 which we filed on March 31, 2011.

 
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company received additional short-term loans totaling $164,500 from “accredited investors”, increasing the outstanding amount of short-term loans from $617,000 to $781,500. These short-term loans are expected to be converted into new 7% Non-Convertible Promissory Notes when the Company’s board of directors approves the issuance of additional notes. The short-term notes payable bear interest at 7%, are unsecured and classified by the company as on demand.  However, at the time of funding, the Company informed the investors that the advance would be converted into new long terms 7% Non-Convertible notes on terms and conditions to be determined. The board of directors is working out the terms for the new long term notes (See Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements)

We believe that the sales of the above securities were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The recipient of securities in these transactions represented its intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to the instruments representing such securities issued in these transactions. The recipient either received adequate information about us or had adequate access, through its relationships with us, to such information.
