(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND 2010
AND FOR THE PERIOD FROM NOVEMBER 21, 2003
(INCEPTION) TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.

Business and Basis of Presentation

GenSpera Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our company”, “our”, “GenSpera” or the “Company”) was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware in 2003. We are a development stage entity, as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915. GenSpera, Inc. is a pharmaceutical company focused on the development of targeted cancer therapeutics for the treatment of cancerous tumors, including breast, prostate, bladder and kidney cancer. Our operations are based in San Antonio, Texas.

To date, we have generated no sales revenues, have incurred significant expenses and have sustained losses. Consequently, our operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. For the period from inception on November 21, 2003 through September 30, 2011, we have accumulated losses of $18,233,571.

Liquidity
 
As of September 30, 2011, we had working capital (current assets in excess of current liabilities) of $6,043,577.  Our cash flow used in operations was $2,620,134 and $1,931,073 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  At September 30, 2011, we had cash on hand of approximately $6,654,000 and raised approximately $5,673,000 in the first nine months of 2011.  Based upon current cash flow projections, management believes the Company will have sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow requirements until August 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates.

Research and Development

Research and development costs include expenses incurred by the Company for research and development of therapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer and are charged to operations as incurred. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for toxicology and other studies, manufacturing, clinical trials and compensation and consulting costs.    

GenSpera incurred net research and development expenses of $1,057,725 and $238,225 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $2,035,599 and $1,329,396 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $9,546,527 from November 21, 2003 (inception) through September 30, 2011.  
 
Loss Per Share

We use ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted income (loss) per share. We compute basic income (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
 
Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of debt and the exercise of our stock options and warrants. In accordance with ASC 260-45-20, common stock equivalents derived from shares issuable through the exercise of our warrants subject to derivative accounting are not considered in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding because the adjustments in computing income available to common stockholders would result in a loss.  Accordingly, the diluted EPS would be computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share.

The following is a reconciliation of net income and share amounts used in the computation of loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2010:

(571,446

There were 12,113,791 common share equivalents at September 30, 2011 and 8,959,649 at September 30, 2010. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, these potential shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per share.

Fair value of financial instruments
 
Our short-term financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and other liabilities, consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities, the fair value of which, based on management’s estimates, reasonably approximate their book value. The fair value of long term convertible notes is based on management estimates and reasonably approximates their book value after comparison to obligations with similar interest rates and maturities. The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is determined using option pricing models.  

Fair value measurements
 
We follow the guidance established pursuant to ASC 820 which established a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the amount that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes the following three levels of inputs that may be used:
 
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
 
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.
 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs when there is little or no market data available, thereby requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
 
The table below summarizes the fair values of our financial liabilities as of September 30, 2011:

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for these items:
 
Warrant derivative liability — these instruments consist of certain of our warrants with anti-dilution provisions. These instruments were valued using pricing models which incorporate the Company’s stock price, volatility, U.S. risk free rate, dividend rate and estimated life.

Income Taxes

We utilize ASC 740 “Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.    

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for our stock based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.  This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it 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.

We use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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 to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

NOTE 2 - CAPITAL STOCK AND STOCKHOLDER’S EQUITY

We are authorized to issue 80,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.0001 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.0001 per share. 
 
On January 21, 2011, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), we sold 2,074,914 units resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $3,734,840 (“Offering”).  The price per unit was $1.80.  Each unit consists of: (i) one (1) share of the Company’s common stock, par value $.0001 (“Shares”), and (ii) one half (1/2) Common Stock Purchase Warrant (“Warrant(s)”). Of these units, 339,915 were subscribed at December 31, 2010 with gross proceeds to the Company of $611,847 recorded in the December 31, 2010 financial statements as Common Stock Subscribed.  

The Warrants have a term of five years and entitle the holders to purchase the Company’s common shares at a price per share of $3.30.  In the event the shares underlying the Warrants are not subject to a registration statement, the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis after 12 months from the issuance date.   The Warrants also contain provisions providing for an adjustment in the underlying number of shares and exercise price in the event of stock splits or dividends and fundamental transactions.  The Warrants do not contain any price protection provisions.   The Warrants are callable by the Company assuming the following: (i) the Common Stock trades above $5.50 for ten (10) consecutive days; (ii) the daily average minimum volume over such ten (10) days is 15,000 or greater; and (iii) there is an effective registration statement covering the underlying shares.   The Securities Purchase Agreement also grants the investors certain piggy-back registration rights.

In connection with the Offering, we incurred placement agent and finder’s fees in the amount of $114,295 in cash and issued warrants to purchase a total of 63,498 shares at an average exercise price per share of $3.26.  Of the fees incurred, $110,695 was reinvested in the Offering on the same terms and conditions as the investors, resulting in the issuance of 61,498 units.

On February 16, 2011, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, we sold an additional 166,691 units resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $300,044. The units contain the same terms as the January 21, 2011 units described above.
