NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) was originally formed as a New Jersey corporation in 1967 under the name Rudmer, David & Associates, Inc., and subsequently changed its name to Synthetic Blood International, Inc. On June 17, 2008, the stockholders of Synthetic Blood International approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated April 28, 2008, between Synthetic Blood International and Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Oxygen Biotherapeutics was formed on April 17, 2008, by Synthetic Blood International to participate in the merger for the purpose of changing the state of domicile of Synthetic Blood International from New Jersey to Delaware. Certificates of Merger were filed with the states of New Jersey and Delaware and the merger was effective June 30, 2008. Under the Plan of Merger, Oxygen Biotherapeutics is the surviving corporation and each share of Synthetic Blood International common stock outstanding on June 30, 2008 was converted to one share of Oxygen Biotherapeutics common stock.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit during the development stage of $105 million and $91.9 million at January 31, 2012 and April 30, 2011, respectively, and stockholders’ deficit of $(871,464) and $(3,724,523) as of January 31, 2012 and April 30, 2011, respectively. The Company requires substantial additional funds to complete clinical trials and pursue regulatory approvals. Management is actively seeking additional sources of equity and/or debt financing; however, there is no assurance that any additional funding will be available.

In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying January 31, 2012 balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis, to maintain present financing, and to generate cash from future operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the classification and amounts of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The Company has prepared the accompanying interim financial statements in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements and accompanying notes do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that management believes are necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. These interim financial statement results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future interim period.

Reclassification

For comparability purposes, certain figures for prior periods have been reclassified, where appropriate, to conform to the financial statement presentation used in fiscal year 2012. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported net loss.

Deferred financing costs

Deferred financing costs represent legal, due diligence and other direct costs incurred to raise capital or obtain debt. Direct costs include only “out-of-pocket” or incremental costs directly related to the effort, such as a finder’s fee and accounting and legal fees. These costs will be capitalized if the efforts are successful, or expensed when unsuccessful. Indirect costs are expensed as incurred. Deferred financing costs related to debt are amortized over the life of the debt. Deferred financing costs related to issuing equity are charged to Paid in Capital. The treatment of issuance costs on liability for which the Company has elected the fair value option is further described in “Debt or derivative liabilities recorded at fair value” below.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. Terms of convertible promissory note instruments are reviewed to determine whether or not they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required under FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) to be accounted for separately from the host contract, and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities, if any, is required to be revalued at each reporting date, with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in current period operating results.

Freestanding warrants issued by the Company in connection with the issuance or sale of debt and equity instruments are considered to be derivative instruments, and are evaluated and accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815. Pursuant to ASC 815, an evaluation of specifically identified conditions is made to determine whether the fair value of warrants issued is required to be classified as equity or as a derivative liability. In December 2011, the Company issued warrants to purchase 788,290 shares of Common Stock as part of the Series A Preferred Stock offering. In accordance with ASC 815, these warrants are classified as equity and their calculated fair value of $1,170,311 was recognized as a discount on the related preferred stock in the current period.

Debt or derivative liabilities recorded at fair value

The outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) has mandatorily redeemable installments with the remainder outstanding at maturity also subject to mandatory redemption, which meets the definition of a “mandatorily redeemable financial instrument” and thus is recorded as a liability at fair value in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity. Costs related to the issuance of debt for which we have elected the fair value option are recognized in current earnings. We determine fair value of the outstanding Preferred Stock as of the end of each reporting period, and we reduce the amount outstanding for any redemptions, exercises, or conversions at the fair value determined at the end of the prior reporting period. The fair value adjustment is charged or credited to Interest expense. On January 31, 2012, the Company recognized approximately $2.2 million as non-cash interest expense for the adjustment to the fair value of the outstanding Preferred Stock on that date.

The certificate of designations governing the rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock contains several embedded features that would be required to be considered for bifurcation. The Company has elected the fair value option, and as such, will value the host preferred stock certificate of designations and embedded features as one instrument. Changes in the fair value of the Preferred Stock will be recorded as interest expense on the Statement of Operations.

Redemptions: The Company expects to redeem the Preferred Stock by issuing shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”). The difference between the fair value of the Preferred Stock and the fair value of the Common Stock on the date the Common Stock issued is charged or credited to interest expense.

Conversions: Investors in the Preferred Stock can voluntarily convert their preferred shares to Common Stock at a conversion price defined in the preferred stock certificate of designations. The difference between the fair value of the Preferred Stock and the fair value of the Common Stock given in conversion is recognized as a gain or loss on the extinguishment of debt.

Dividends: Dividends paid with scheduled redemptions are expected to be paid in Common Stock. When an investor voluntarily converts its preferred shares, we are required to pay the investor for the dividends that would have been earned had the shares been held to maturity. The portion of those dividends that have not been accrued may be paid in cash or Common Stock, and are referred to as “make whole” payments. Dividends paid in stock are valued at the fair value of the Common Stock as of the date of issuance and are charged to interest expense.

Beneficial conversion and warrant valuation

In accordance with FASB ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of convertible debt that have conversion features at fixed rates that are in-the-money when issued and the fair value of warrants issued in connection with those instruments. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds to warrants, based on their relative fair value, and as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible debt equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature. The discount recorded in connection with the BCF and warrant valuation is recognized as non-cash interest expense and is being amortized over the life of the convertible note. The significant terms of the Company’s convertible notes are described in Note 5. At January 31, 2012 the notes had a gross carrying value of $4.9 million with unamortized discounts totaling approximately $3.9 million.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s balance sheet includes the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, short-term notes payable, convertible preferred stock and convertible notes. The Company considers the carrying amount of its cash and cash equivalents and short-term notes payable to approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. It is not practicable for the Company to estimate the fair value of its convertible notes as such estimates cannot be made without incurring excessive costs, but management believes the difference between fair value and carrying value to not be material.

The Preferred Stock embodies an unconditional obligation to issue a variable number of common shares based on a changes in the fair value of the Company’s common stock. As futher discussed in Note 6 below, the Preferred Stock also embodies obligations that characterize the shares as mandatorily redeemable. As such, the outstanding Preferred Stock is carried as a liability and reported at fair value. Due to the short-term maturity of the obligation, the Company estimates the fair value based on the weighted-average fair value of its common stock over the measurement period and adjusts the carrying amount of the liability to the estimated conversion price at the report date. In accordance with ASC 480, upon issuance of the shares to settle the obligation, equity is increased by the amount of the liability and any gain or loss is recognized as non-cash interest expense at the date of conversion.

Net Loss per Share

Basic loss per share, which excludes antidilutive securities, is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for that particular period. In contrast, diluted loss per share considers the potential dilution that could occur from other equity instruments that would increase the total number of outstanding shares of common stock. Such amounts include potentially issuable shares under outstanding options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible notes. A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share follows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On May 1, 2011, the Company adopted ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The guidance requires the disclosure of roll forward activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

On May 1, 2011, the Company adopted ASU 2010-17, Revenue Recognition—Milestone Method (Topic 605). The guidance establishes a revenue recognition model for contingent consideration that is payable upon the achievement of an uncertain future event, referred to as a milestone. The scope of the ASU is limited to research or development arrangements and requires an entity to record the milestone payment in its entirety in the period received if the milestone meets all the necessary criteria to be considered substantive. The adoption of ASU 2010-17 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

NOTE 3. BALANCE SHEET COMPONENTS

Inventory

The Company operates in an industry characterized by rapid improvements and changes to its technology and products. The introduction of new products by the Company or its competitors can result in its inventory being rendered obsolete or it being required to sell items at a discount. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its inventory by reference to its internal estimates of future demands and product life cycles. If the Company incorrectly forecasts demand for its products or inadequately manages the introduction of new product lines, the Company could materially impact its financial statements by having excess inventory on hand. The Company's future estimates are subjective and actual results may vary. During the nine months ended January 31, 2012, the Company reclassified approximately $90,000 of Perfluorocarbon raw material out of raw materials inventory into other current assets as it continues its reformulation of the Dermacyte cosmetic line.

Inventories are recorded at cost using the First-In-First-Out ("FIFO") method. Ending inventories are comprised of raw materials and direct costs of manufacturing and are valued at the lower of cost or market. Inventories consisted of the following as of January 31, 2012 and April 30, 2011:

Note Purchase Agreement

On October 12, 2010 the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with JP SPC 1 Vatea, Segregated Portfolio (“Vatea Fund”) whereby it agreed to issue and sell to Vatea Fund an aggregate of $5,000,000 of senior unsecured promissory notes (the “Vatea Notes”) on or before December 31, 2010. The Vatea Notes will mature on October 31, 2013, unless the holders of a majority of the Vatea Notes consent in writing to a later maturity date. Interest does not accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Vatea Notes (other than following the maturity date or earlier acceleration). Instead, on the maturity date, the Company must pay the holders of the Vatea Notes a final payment premium aggregating $3,000,000, in addition to the principal balance then otherwise outstanding under the Vatea Notes. The Vatea Notes provide that the Company has the option, at its sole discretion and without penalty, to prepay the outstanding balance under the Vatea Notes plus the amount of the final payment premium prior to the maturity date. In addition, the holders of majority of the Vatea Notes may request that the Company prepay the Vatea Notes in an amount equal to the proceeds of any subsequent closings under the Securities Purchase Agreement with Vatea Fund, dated June 8, 2009, and subsequently amended.

On November 11, 2011, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated June 8, 2009 (the “SPA”), between the Company and Vatea Fund. Amendment No. 3 deemed all milestones under the SPA achieved in exchange for a reduction in the purchase price for shares of the Company's common stock under the SPA to $2.85 per share.

On November 14, 2011, following entry into Amendment No. 3 to the SPA, the final closing (the "Final Closing") under the SPA occurred pursuant to which the Company delivered 2,807,018 shares of its common stock to the holders of the SPA against payment to the Company of an aggregate of $8,000,000. In connection with the Final Closing, the Company paid fees to Melixia SA for services provided as facilitating agent, which consisted of 561,404 shares of the Company’s common stock. All issuances were made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 thereunder. Pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement with Vatea Fund, dated October 12, 2010 and amended on December 29, 2010, the Company used the proceeds from the Final Closing to prepay the outstanding balance under the notes, including $2,367,574 of unaccreted final payment premium thereunder. Following the Final Closing, no securities remain available for purchase under the SPA and no outstanding balance remains under the Note Purchase Agreement.

Convertible Note

On June 16, 2011, the Company entered into a Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with an institutional investor pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchaser in a private placement a subordinated convertible promissory note (the “Note”) with a principal amount of $4.6 million and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 2,039,911 shares of Common Stock. On June 29, 2011, the Company increased the offering by approximately $0.3 million and additional Warrants to purchase 133,038 shares of common stock; for a total offering size of approximately $4.9 million (the “Offering”) and Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,172,949 shares of Common Stock.

Interest on the Notes accrues at a rate of 15% annually and will be paid in quarterly installments commencing on the third month anniversary of issuance. The Notes will mature 36 months from the date of issuance. The Note may be converted into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $2.255 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends and combinations, recapitalizations and the like) (the “Conversion Price”) at any time, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the holders of the Notes. The Notes also will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price at the election of a majority-in-interest of the holders of notes issued under the purchase agreement or upon the acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Company may make each applicable interest payment or payment of principal in cash, shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price, or any combination thereof. The Company may elect to prepay all or any portion of the Note without prepayment penalties only with the approval of a majority-in-interest of the note holders under the Purchase Agreement at the time of the election. The Notes contain various events of default such as failing to timely make any payment under the Note when due, which may result in all outstanding obligations under the Note becoming immediately due and payable. The Warrants were issued in three approximately equal tranches, with exercise prices of $2.15, $2.60 and $2.85, respectively, per share of Common Stock (in each case subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends and combinations, recapitalizations and the like). The Warrants are exercisable on or after the date of issuance and expire on the earlier to occur of the five year anniversary of the date of issuance or an acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. The exercise prices of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of future issuances of Common Stock or equivalents by the Company at a price less than the applicable exercise price, but in no event shall a Warrant exercise price be adjusted to less than $2.255 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends and combinations, recapitalizations and the like) of Common Stock.

On June 29, 2011, the Company issued a Note with a principal amount of approximately $300,000 and Warrants to purchase 133,038 shares of Common Stock. On July 1, 2011, the Company issued a separate Note with a principal amount of $4,600,000 and Warrants to purchase 2,039,911 shares of Common Stock. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately $4.9 million, excluding any proceeds from the exercise of any Warrants. The aggregate placement agent fees were $297,000 and legal fees associated with the offering were $88,839. These costs have been capitalized as debt issue costs and will be amortized as interest expense over the life of the Note. The total value allocated to the Warrants was approximately $1,960,497 and was recorded as a debt discount against the proceeds of the Notes. In addition, the beneficial conversion features related to the Notes were determined to be approximately $2,939,504. As a result, the aggregate discount on the Notes totaled $4.9 million, and is being amortized over term of the Notes.

The Company recorded interest expense of $628,320 and $1,464,967 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012, respectively. These amounts include amortization of the associated debt issue costs of $32,154 and $75,026 and amortization of the debt discount of $408,333 and $952,777 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012, respectively.

NOTE 6. SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

Under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is authorized, without further stockholder action, to provide for the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof.

On December 8, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware designating 7,500 shares of our authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

On December 12, 2011, the Company sold 3,500 units for net proceeds of approximately $3.2 million. Each unit sold consisted of (i) one share of the Company’s Preferred Stock and (ii) a warrant representing the right to purchase 225.2 shares of Common Stock (the “2011 Warrants”), at a price of $1,000 per unit, less issuance costs. The shares of Preferred Stock were immediately convertible and the 2011 Warrants are exercisable on the one-year anniversary of the closing date.

The table below sets forth a summary of the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the Preferred Stock.

Maturity	The shares of Preferred Stock will mature on the one year anniversary of issuance of such shares.

Amortization	On each one month anniversary of issuance of the Preferred Stock, the Company will redeem, subject to certain exceptions, one-sixth of the initial stated value of the Preferred Stock.

Amortization Payments	The Company may elect to pay the monthly amortization payments in cash or, subject to certain conditions, in shares of Common Stock by delivering that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the amount of the monthly amortization payment divided by a per share amortization price, which shall be the lesser of (i) the then-existing conversion price, which is initially $2.22 per share of common stock and (ii) 90% of the calculated market price per share of Common Stock.

Dividends	The shares of Preferred Stock will carry a dividend equal to 7% per annum, paid monthly in arrears. The Company may elect to pay dividends in cash or, subject to certain conditions, in shares of Common Stock. If the Company pays dividends in shares of Common Stock, the shares will be valued at a calculated per share market price. Dividends shall be subject to a make-whole through maturity upon any earlier conversion, redemption or amortization.

Market Price	For purposes of the amortization or dividend payments on the Preferred Stock as described above, the market price shall be equal to the average of the volume weighted average prices (the “VWAP”) for the five lowest trading days, excluding the two lowest trading days of such period, ending on the 23rd trading day prior to the applicable payment date, subject to a “true up” based on the five lowest trading days during the twenty consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the applicable payment date.

Conversion	Holders may elect to convert shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at the then-existing conversion price at any time. The initial conversion price is $2.22 per share of Common Stock, and is subject to certain adjustments, including an anti-dilution provision that reduces the conversion price upon the issuance of any Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock at an effective price per share less than the conversion price.

Redemption	If any shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding on the maturity date after giving effect to any conversions on such date, the Company is required to redeem such preferred shares in cash in an amount equal to the then-existing conversion amount for each preferred share. Additionally, after a triggering event, the holders of the shares of Preferred Stock have the right, at their option, to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the then outstanding preferred shares in cash at the triggering event redemption price. Triggering events include, among other events, certain breaches by the Company of its agreements, failures to pay amounts when due, failures to maintain any registration statement as required, failure to keep its Common Stock listed on any of the specified eligible markets (including the OTC Bulletin Board), and failure to keep a sufficient number of authorized shares reserved for issuance on conversion of the Preferred Stock or exercise of the 2011 Warrants. The triggering event redemption price will be the greater of (i) 125% of the then-existing conversion amount, or (ii) the product of the then-existing conversion amount and the greatest closing sales price of the Company’s Common Stock beginning on the last trading day prior to the triggering event and ending on the date the holder of the Preferred Stock delivers a notice of redemption. In addition, the Company is required to pay to the holders of the Preferred Stock any additional make-whole amounts accrued at the date of the triggering event.

Liquidation preference	In the event of the Company’s voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up, each holder of Preferred Stock will be entitled to be paid a liquidation preference equal to the initial stated value of such holder’s Preferred Stock of $2.22 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends and any other payments that may be due on such shares, before any distribution of assets may be made to holders of capital stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock.

Voting rights	Shares of Preferred Stock will generally have no voting rights, except as required by law and except that the consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding. Preferred Stock will be required to amend the terms of the Preferred Stock.

Equity Conditions	The “Equity Conditions” will be satisfied on any date if: (i) on each day during the 30 trading days prior to such measurement date, all shares of Common Stock issued and issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock , as dividends on the Preferred Stock and upon exercise of the 2011 Warrants will have been issued or, to the extent not yet issued will be eligible for sale without restriction and without the need for registration under the securities laws; (ii) on each such day, the Common Stock is listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market, on one of several named alternative markets and, if subject to certain delisting proceedings or a failure to meet the maintenance standards of such an exchange, the Company must meet the minimum listing conditions of one of the other permitted markets (including the OTC Bulletin Board); (iii) on each such day, the Company has delivered Common Stock upon conversion by holders of Preferred Stock on a timely basis, as and if required; (iv) any applicable shares to be issued in connection with the determination may be issued in full without violating the ownership limitations described below or the rules of the Company’s principal market (except that the ownership limitations will not prevent the Company from delivering Common Stock in amounts up to such limits); (v) during such period, the Company has made timely payments as required; (vi) there has been no triggering event or potential triggering event under the certificate of designations; (vii) the Company has no knowledge of any fact that would cause the shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with the Preferred Stock or Preferred Warrants not to be eligible for sale without restriction; (viii) the Company meets certain minimum average trading volume qualifications on its principal market (i.e., a $375,000 aggregate dollar volume over the applicable 20 trading days); and (ix) we are otherwise in material compliance with our covenants and representations in the related Preferred Stock transaction documents, including the certificate of designations.

We will not affect any conversion of the Preferred Stock, nor shall a holder convert its shares of Preferred Stock, to the extent that such conversion would cause the holder to have acquired, through conversion of the Preferred Stock or otherwise, beneficial ownership of a number shares of our Common Stock in excess of 4.99% of the Common Stock immediately preceding the conversion.

While the Preferred Stock is outstanding, we may not incur any additional indebtedness, with the exception of ordinary course equipment leases, obligations to vendors and similar exceptions. We are also prohibited from issuing additional or other capital stock or from issuing variable rate securities, without the consent of holders of the Preferred Stock then outstanding.

As of January 31, 2012, the following is a summary of the non-cash interest related to the Preferred Stock:

Non-cash interest:	Amount
Dividends paid in common stock with conversions	$	-
Dividends paid in common stock with redemptions		20,808
Interest expense on redemption of preferred stock		133,849
Fair value adjustment to preferred stock		2,170,007

Non-cash interest expense as of January 31, 2012	$	2,346,143

On January 10, 2012, the Company elected to make the scheduled February 13, 2012 installment and dividend payment in shares of Common Stock and on that date issued 454,002 shares of Common Stock under the pre-delivery procedures described in the certificate of designation. On February 13, 2012, the Company was not required to issue any additional shares based upon the comparison of the market price on January 10, 2012 and the market price on February 13, 2012. The Company expects to make subsequent scheduled payments in shares of Common Stock to the extent the Preferred Stock has not been voluntarily converted by the holders.

The scheduled conversions and actual activity for the Preferred Stock as of January 31, 2012 is as follows:

Installement Date	Pre-delivery Date	Preferred Shares Redeemedable		Less: Preferred Shares Redeemed / Converted at 1/31/12			Balance of Preferred Stock at 1/31/12		Fair Value of Preferred Stock at 1/31/12

As shown above, 583 shares of Preferred Stock were converted into 446,496 shares of Common Stock as of January 31, 2012. The Company recorded interest expense of approximately $133,849 related to these conversions. The interest expense was calculated as the difference between the fair value of the preferred shares and the fair value of the Common Stock on the date of the conversion. The weighted average fair value of Common Stock for the January conversions was $1.61 per share. Additionally, between February 1, 2012 and March 15, 2012, 1,166 preferred shares were converted into 845,912 shares of common stock. The Company expects to report interest expense related to these conversions of approximately $480,677 in the fourth quarter of 2012. The weighted average fair value of the Common Stock for the fourth quarter 2012 conversions was $2.35 per share. As of March 15, 2012, there were 1,751 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.

NOTE 7. SEGMENT REPORTING

In the Company’s operation of its business, management, including its chief operating decision maker, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, reviews certain financial information, including segmented internal profit and loss statements prepared on a basis not consistent with GAAP.

The Company operates in a single market consisting of the design, development, marketing, sales and support of its Dermacyte cosmetic segment. The Company's commercial revenues are derived from sales of the Dermacyte line of topical cosmetic products in the United States, Latin America and Europe. The Company does not engage in intercompany revenue transfers between segments.

The Company’s management evaluates performance based primarily on revenues in the geographic locations in which the Company operates. Segment profit or loss for each segment includes certain sales and marketing expenses directly attributable to the segment and excludes certain expenses that are managed outside the reportable segments.

Costs that are identifiable are allocated to the segments that benefit. Allocated costs may include those relating to development and marketing of products and services from which multiple segments benefit, or those costs relating to services performed by one segment on behalf of other segments. Each allocation is measured differently based on the specific facts and circumstances of the costs being allocated. Certain other corporate-level activity is not allocated to the Company’s segments, including costs of: human resources; legal; finance; information technology; corporate development and procurement activities; research and development; and employee severance.

The Company has recast certain prior period amounts within this note to conform to the way it internally managed and monitored segment performance during the current fiscal year.

Net revenues and segment profit, classified by the Company’s reportable segments are as follows:

	For the three months ending January 31,						For the nine months ending January 31,

	2012			2011			2012			2011

Assets are not allocated to segments for internal reporting presentations. A portion of amortization and depreciation may be included with various other costs in an overhead allocation to each segment and it is impracticable for the Company to separately identify the amount of amortization and depreciation by segment that is included in the measure of segment profit or loss.

NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases—The Company leases its laboratory space under an operating lease that includes fixed annual increases and expires in July 2015. The Company leases its office space under an operating lease that includes fixed annual increases and expires in February 2016. Total rent expense was $216,651 and $250,902 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Agreement with Virginia Commonwealth University—In May 2008 the Company entered into a license agreement with Virginia Commonwealth University (“Licensor”, “VCU”) whereby it obtained a worldwide, exclusive license to valid claims under three of the Licensor's patent applications that relate to methods for non-pulmonary delivery of oxygen to tissue and the products based on those valid claims used or useful for therapeutic and diagnostic applications in humans and animals. The license includes the right to sub-license to third parties. The term of the agreement is the life of the patents covered by the patent applications unless the Company elects to terminate the agreement prior to patent expiration.

The agreement also requires the Company to pay royalties to VCU at specified rates based on annual net sales derived from the licensed technology. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company must make minimum annual royalty payments to VCU totaling $70,000 as long as the agreement is in force. These payments are fully creditable against royalty payments due for sales and sublicense revenue earned during the fiscal year as described above. This fee is recorded as an other current asset and is amortized over the fiscal year. Amortization expense was $52,500 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011.

Exfluor Manufacturing Agreement— The Company entered into a Supply Agreement with Exfluor for the manufacturing and supply of FtBu. Under the terms of the Agreement, Exfluor is to supply FtBu exclusively to the Company, and no other party. The fee for this exclusivity is a non-refundable, non-creditable fee of $25,000 each quarter for the term of the Agreement. The term of the Agreement is three years, beginning from January 1, 2010. The process of manufacturing FtBu is a trade secret owned by Exfluor. Therefore, the Agreement also contains a provision requiring Exfluor to maintain documentation of the entire manufacturing process in an Escrow Account, to be released to the Company only upon the occurrence of a triggering event, which includes dissolution, acquisition by another company who is not a successor, bankruptcy or creditors take action to secure rights against the manufacturing technology to satisfy a financial obligation.

Litigation—The Company is subject to litigation in the normal course of business, none of which management believes will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements.

On August 30, 2011, Tenor Opportunity Master Fund Ltd., Aria Opportunity Fund, Ltd., and Parsoon Opportunity Fund, Ltd (collectively, “Tenor”) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that a right of first offer held by Tenor was breached in connection with the Company’s June 2011 financing. The complaint seeks compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company filed an Answer to the Complaint on October 4, 2011 and pre-trial discovery is currently underway. The Company believes the facts do not support a finding in Tenor’s favor and, accordingly, has not accrued for any amounts for a contingent liability related to this claim as of January 31, 2012.

Registration Requirement—During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, the Company issued warrants as part of a convertible note offering. These warrants were issued with a requirement that the Company file a registration statement with the SEC to register the underlying shares, and that it be declared effective on or before January 9, 2009. In the event that the Company does not have an effective registration statement as of that date, or if at some future date the registration ceases to be effective, then the Company is obligated to pay liquidated damages to each holder in the amount of 1% of the aggregate market value of the stock, as measured on January 9, 2009 or at the date the registration statement ceases to be effective. As an additional remedy for non-registration of the shares, the holders would also receive the option of a cashless exercise of their warrant or conversion shares. As of January 31, 2012, approximately 126,000 of these warrants are subject to the registration requirement.

ASC 825-20, Financial Instruments, Registration Payment Arrangements, provides guidance to proper recognition, measurement, and classification of certain freestanding financial instruments that are indexed to, and potentially settled in, any entity's own stock. ASC 825-20-25 specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with ASC 450, Accounting for Contingencies. The Company has accounted for these warrants as equity instruments in the accompanying financial statements. The Company does not believe the registration payments are probable, and as such, has not recorded any amounts with respect to the separately measured registration rights agreement.

Contingent Liabilities Related to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A— In November, 2010, management conducted an independent review of certain option grants made by the Company between February 1998 and April 2009. This voluntary review was not in response to any governmental investigation. During the course of the Company’s review, management identified certain options granted in prior years that may have been non-compliant with Section 409A (“Section 409A”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”), including options granted with an exercise price below fair market value on the date of grant and options that were modified such that they may have become non-compliant with Section 409A.

In February 2011, after management conducted a preliminary, limited scope review of certain of the Company’s stock option granting practices, the Audit Committee commenced a voluntary, independent investigation of the Company’s historical stock option granting practices and related accounting during the period from February 1998 through April 2009. The Company’s outside legal counsel assisted the Audit Committee in this investigation. As of January 31, 2012, none of the Company’s current officers or directors has exercised any of the potentially non-compliant options. The primary adverse tax consequence of Section 409A non-compliance is that the holders of non-compliant options are taxed on the value of such options as they vest, and annually thereafter until they are exercised. In addition to ordinary income taxes, holders of non-compliant options are subject to a 20% penalty tax under Section 409A (and, as applicable, similar excise taxes under state laws). Because virtually all holders of stock options granted by the Company were not involved in or aware that the pricing and/or modification of their options raised these issues, the Company intends to take actions to address certain of the adverse tax consequences that may apply to these holders. In addition, on March 17, 2011 the Company entered into indemnification agreements with its executive officers that indemnify those officers from potential Section 409A tax liabilities arising from their prior option awards.

In addition to adverse consequences for option holders, the Company has determined that certain payroll taxes, interest and penalties may apply to the Company under various sections of the IRC (and, as applicable similar state and foreign tax statutes) related to the potential Section 409A non-compliance. As of January 31, 2012, the Company has accrued approximately $550,000, which represents the Company’s best estimate of the potential liability, in other current liabilities for the contingent liability. The Company’s investigation of the matter is still on-going and there exists the possibility of adverse outcomes that the Company estimates could reach approximately $500,000 beyond its recorded amount.

1999 Amended Stock Plan

In October 2000, the Company adopted the 1999 Stock Plan (the “Plan”), as amended and restated on June 17, 2008. Under the Plan, with the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, the Company may grant stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and new shares of Common Stock upon exercise of stock options. On September 30, 2011, the Company’s stockholders approved amendment 1 to the Plan which increased the amount of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan to 6,000,000, up from 800,000 previously authorized. Stock options granted under the Plan may be either incentive stock options (“ISOs”), or nonqualified stock options (“NSOs”). ISOs may be granted only to employees. NSOs may be granted to employees, consultants and directors. Stock options under the Plan may be granted with a term of up to ten years and at prices no less than fair market value for ISOs and no less than 85% of the fair market value for NSOs. To date, stock options granted generally vest over one to three years and vest at a rate of 34% upon the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and 33% on each anniversary thereafter. As of January 31, 2012 the Company had 5,484,318 shares of Common Stock available for grant under the Plan.

The following table summarizes the shares available for grant under the Plan for the nine months ended January 31, 2012:

	Shares Available for Grant
Balances, at April 30, 2011		243,832

Plan Stock Options

The following table summarizes the outstanding stock options under the Plan for the nine months ended January 31, 2012:

	Outstanding Options
	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Balances, at April 30, 2011		515,071		$	4.54
Options granted		43,000		$	2.03

Balances, at January 31, 2012		397,823		$	4.57

The following table summarizes the grant date fair value stock-based compensation expense for stock options granted during the nine months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively:

	For the the nine months ended January 31
	2012		2011

Research and development	$	65,598	$	81,331
General and administrative		16,677		15,813
Marketing and sales		2,024		3,615
	$	84,299	$	100,759

The Company used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of options granted under its stock option plans for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011:

	For the nine months ended January 31
	2012			2011

Risk-free interest rate (weighted average)		2.16	%		2.00	%
Expected volatility (weighted average)		78.65	%		84.46	%
Expected term (in years)		7			6
Expected dividend yield		0.00	%		0.00	%

Risk-Free Interest Rate	The risk-free interest rate assumption was based on U.S. Treasury instruments with a term that is consistent with the expected term of the Company’s stock options.

Expected Volatility	The expected stock price volatility for the Company’s Common Stock was determined by examining the historical volatility and trading history for its Common Stock over a term consistent with the expected term of its options.

Expected Term	The expected term of stock options represents the weighted average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. It was calculated based on the historical experience that the Company has had with its stock option grants.

Expected Dividend Yield	The expected dividend yield of 0% is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the near future.

Forfeitures	Stock compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on the Company’s historical experience.

As of January 31, 2012, there were unrecognized compensation costs of approximately $27,227 related to non-vested stock option awards granted after May 1, 2004 that will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 0.94 years.

Restricted Stock Grants

The following table summarizes the restricted stock grants under the Plan for the nine months ended January 31, 2012:

	Outstanding Restricted Stock
	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included as part of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2011.

All references in this Quarterly Report to “Oxygen Biotherapeutics”, “we”, “our” and “us” means Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc.

Overview

Oxygen Biotherapeutics is engaged in the business of developing biotechnology products with a focus on oxygen delivery to specific target tissues. We are currently developing Oxycyte®, a systemic perfluorocarbon, or PFC product we believe is a safe and effective oxygen carrier for use in situations of acute ischemia. In addition, we have developed a family of perfluorocarbon-based oxygen carriers for use in personal care, topical wound healing, and other topical indications. While we continue to move forward with Oxycyte as a potential treatment for traumatic brain injury or TBI, our focus for the next twelve months will be to develop our most advanced topical products: Dermacyte® and Wundecyte™, as we believe these products have a greater opportunity for nearer-term commercialization.

Oxycyte

Our Oxycyte oxygen carrier product is a PFC-based oil in water emulsion, which is provided to the patient intravenously. The physical-chemical properties of PFCs enable our product to concentrate oxygen from the lungs and transport it through the body releasing it along the way. Over a period of days Oxycyte is gradually exhaled through the lungs during the normal process of respiration. Oxycyte requires no cross matching, so it is immediately available and compatible with all patients’ blood types. Oxycyte has an extended shelf life compared to blood and is provided as a sterile emulsion ready for intravenous administration. Because it contains no biological components, there is no risk of transmission of blood-borne viruses from human blood products. Further, since Oxycyte is based on readily available inert compounds, we believe it can be manufactured on a cost-effective basis in amounts sufficient to meet demand.

We received approval of our Investigational New Drug application, or IND, for severe TBI filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and began Phase I clinical studies in October 2003, which were completed in December 2003. We submitted a report on the results to the FDA along with a Phase II protocol in 2004. Phase II-A clinical studies began in the fourth quarter 2004, and were completed in 2006. A further Phase II study protocol was filed with the FDA in the spring of 2008, but remained on clinical hold by the FDA due to safety concerns raised by the regulatory agency. We are continuing to respond to the FDA’s requests for data required to address their concerns. After receiving this clinical hold, we filed a revised protocol as a dose-escalation study with the regulatory authorities in Switzerland and Israel. The relevant Swiss regulatory body approved the protocol in August 2009, and the Israel Ministry of Health approved the protocol in September 2009. The new study began in October 2009 and is currently underway both in Switzerland and Israel. In March 2010, we determined that it is feasible to simplify the trial design and also reduce the number of patients to be enrolled. In May 2010, we entered into a relationship with a contract research organization, or CRO, to assist us as we expand our study into India to initiate five to ten new sites for our Phase II-b clinical trial. Study objectives, safety and efficacy endpoints would remain unchanged, and we feel with these optimizations the study could be concluded faster and more economically. In March 2011 we received confirmation of a $2.07 million, two-year cost reimbursement award from the U.S. Army to conduct safety related studies for Oxycyte. PFC emulsions, as a therapeutic class, are known to interact with the reticuloendothelial system as part of the clearance mechanism, as well as affect the number of circulating platelets. The studies supported by this grant will examine the effects of Oxycyte on the immune system, platelet function and distribution, as well as the safety and efficacy of platelet transfusion, which can be necessary for patients with TBI and related polytrauma. Additional studies under this grant will be conducted to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of PFCs in relevant species. We believe the results of these studies will support the safety profile of Oxycyte PFC emulsion. We expect to commit a substantial portion of our financial and business resources over the next three years to testing Oxycyte and advancing this product to regulatory approval for use in one or more medical applications.

Should Oxycyte successfully progress in clinical testing and if it appears regulatory approval for one or more medical uses is likely, either in the United States or in another country, we intend to evaluate our options for commercializing the product. These options include licensing Oxycyte to a third party for manufacture and distribution, manufacturing Oxycyte ourselves for distribution through third party distributors, manufacturing and selling the product ourselves, or establishing some other form of strategic relationship for making and distributing Oxycyte with a participant in the pharmaceutical industry. We are currently investigating and evaluating all options.

Dermacyte

The Dermacyte line of topical cosmetic products employs our patented PFC technology and other known cosmetic ingredients to promote the appearance of skin health and other desirable cosmetic benefits. Dermacyte is designed to provide a moist and oxygen-rich environment for the skin when it is applied topically, even in small amounts. Dermacyte Concentrate has been formulated as a cosmetic in our lab and Dermacyte Eye Complex was created by a contract formulator, with the patent held by Oxygen Biotherapeutics. Both formulas have passed all safety and toxicity tests, and we have filed a Cosmetic Product Ingredient Statement, or CPIS with the FDA. The market for oxygen-carrying cosmetics includes anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, skin abrasions and minor skin defects.

In September 2009, we started production of our first commercial product under our topical cosmetic line, Dermacyte Concentrate. We produced and sold a limited pre-production batch in November 2009 as a market acceptance test. The product was sold in packs of 8 doses of 0.4ml. Based on the test market results we identified specific market opportunities for this product and reformulated Dermacyte Concentrate for better product stability. Marketing and shipments of the new Dermacyte Concentrate formulation began in April 2010. We worked with a contract formulator in California to develop the Dermacyte Eye Complex which contains PFC technology as well as other ingredients beneficial to the healthy appearance of the skin around the eyes.

Since June 2010 we have marketed and sold these products through www.DermacyteUS.com and www.buydermacyte.com, and to dermatologists and medical spas with a combination of in-house sales, independent sales agents and exclusive distributors. We had hired a sales director based in North Carolina, and had added sales people in South Florida and Southern California. During the current period, we adjusted our growth strategy to focus exclusively on the North Carolina and South Florida markets while we focus on reformulating the product line to include additional cosmetic products and new packaging.

Dermatology

We are developing clinical research protocols and conducting proof-of-concept studies for the topical indications of pruritis and atopic dermatitis. We intend to develop additional studies for the treatment of acne and rosacea. We believe that we will need the support of partners specializing in this sector to further develop and commercialize these dermatologic product candidates. We can provide no assurance that the topical indications we have under development will prove their claims and be successful commercial products.

Wundecyte

Wundecyte is a novel gel developed under a contract agreement with a lab in Virginia that is designed to be used as a wound-healing gel. In October 2009, we filed a 510K medical device application for Wundecyte with the FDA. Several oxygen-producing and oxygen-carrying devices were cited as predicate devices. The FDA response was that the application likely would be classified as a combination device. The drug component of the combination device will require extensive preclinical and clinical studies to be conducted prior to potential commercialization of the product.

We have also developed an oxygen-generating bandage that can be combined with Wundecyte gel. Wundecyte gel and the oxygen-generating bandage both entered preclinical testing in our first quarter of fiscal 2011. The studies were designed to measure factors such as time to wound closure and reduction in scar tissue formation as compared to a control group. Results showed an apparent increase in epithelial thickness versus the control. The treatment did not cause adverse effects and the models tolerated the treatment well. Our current product development plan is for Wundecyte to emerge into more complex wound-healing indications, also in combination with oxygen-producing technologies based on hydrogen peroxide. In December 2010 we signed a binding letter of intent with Sarasota Medical Products, Inc., or SMP, of Sarasota, Florida to determine the feasibility of pursuing a joint research and development venture for treating chronic ischemic wounds. The venture will be based on combining Wundecyte with SMP’s topical medical devices.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

There have been no significant changes in critical accounting policies during the three months ended January 31, 2012, as compared to the critical accounting policies described in “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011.

Financial Overview

Product Revenue and Gross Profit

We generate product revenue from the sale of Dermacyte through on-line retailers, physician and medical spa facilities, and through distribution agreements with unrelated companies. Product revenue, including percentage changes, for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are as follows:

	Three months ended January 31,				Increase/			% Increase/		Nine months ended January 31,				Increase/			% Increase/
	2012		2011		(Decrease)			(Decrease)		2012		2011		(Decrease)			(Decrease)

Wholesale & retail revenue	$	4,673	$	52,562	$	(47,889	)		(91) %	$	65,565	$	95,543	$	(29,978	)		(31) %

Product revenue decreased for the three months and nine months ended January 31, 2012 approximately $48,000 and $4,000, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. During the three months ended January 31, 2012, we suspended our existing marketing program and focused our efforts on reformulating and repackaging our existing retail products. We had no active sales force during the period and our revenues earned during the period were primarily through on-line purchases.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 46% and 48% for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012, respectively, as compared to 51% and 62% for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2011. The decrease for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 was primarily due to sales through distribution channels.

Government Grant Revenue

We earn revenues through a cost-reimbursement grant sponsored by the United States Army, or Grant Revenue. Grant Revenue is recognized as milestones under the Grant program are achieved. Grant Revenue is earned through the direct costs of labor, travel, and supplies, as well as the pass-through costs of subcontracts with third-party CROs.

	Three months January 31,				Increase/		% Increase/		Nine months January 31,				Increase/		% Increase/
	2012		2011		(Decrease)		(Decrease)		2012		2011		(Decrease)		(Decrease)
Government grant revenue	$	146,101	$	-	$	146,101		— %	$	224,345	$	-	$	224,345		— %

For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012, we recorded approximately $146,000 and $224,000 in revenue under the grant program. This revenue was primarily the result of reimbursements for the direct labor costs, travel, and supplies associated with study design and initiation for a series of preclinical studies designed to enhance the safety and toxicity profile of Oxycyte.

Marketing and Sales Expenses

Marketing and sales expenses consisted primarily of personnel-related costs, including salaries, commissions, and the costs of marketing programs aimed at increasing revenue, such as advertising, trade shows, public relations and other market development programs. Marketing and sales expenses and percentage changes for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are as follows:

	Three months January 31,				Increase/			% Increase/		Nine months January 31,				Increase/			% Increase/
	2012		2011		(Decrease)			(Decrease)		2012		2011		(Decrease)			(Decrease)
Marketing and sales expense	$	826	$	298,472	$	(297,646	)		(100) %	$	364,194	$	512,975	$	(148,781	)		(29) %

The decrease in marketing and sales expenses for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012 compared to the same periods in the prior year were driven by our decision to suspend our existing marketing program and focus our efforts on reformulating and repackaging our existing retail products.

We reduced the costs associated with direct marketing and advertising approximately $200,000 and $206,000 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. These costs include attendance at trade shows and conferences, fees paid to a third party public relations firm, the costs of product samples distributed to potential customers, and the costs of direct print and online advertisements.

-	We reduced travel and entertainment costs approximately $27,000 and $18,000 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year.

-	We reduced compensation costs by approximately $70,000 during the three months ended January 31, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year.

-	We incurred an increase in compensation costs of approximately $75,000 during the nine months ended January 31, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year due to significantly higher headcount in the fourth quarter of the prior year and the first quarter of the current year.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation for executive, finance, legal and administrative personnel, including stock-based compensation. Other general and administrative expenses include facility costs not otherwise included in research and development expenses, legal and accounting services, other professional services, and consulting fees. General and administrative expenses and percentage changes for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are as follows:

	Three months January 31,				Increase/			% Increase/		Nine months January 31,				Increase/			% Increase/
	2012		2011		(Decrease)			(Decrease)		2012		2011		(Decrease)			(Decrease)
General and administrative expense	$	1,421,277	$	1,984,351	$	(563,074	)		(28) %	$	4,519,709	$	5,164,130	$	(644,421	)		(12) %

The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2012 was driven primarily by a decrease in compensation expense, travel related expenses consulting costs and investor relations fees; partially offset by a increase in, legal and accounting fees.

-	We reduced compensation expenses approximately $875,000 compared to the same period in the prior year due to a reduction in headcount and the prior year severance accrual for a departed officer.

-	We reduced administrative travel costs by approximately $44,000 compared to the same period in the prior year due to a reduction in headcount and international travel.

-	We reduced consulting and Board of Director fees by approximately $60,000 compared to the same period in the prior year due to the reduction in our Board of Directors and fees paid to a third-party recruiter in the prior year.

We incurred an increase of approximately $485,000 in legal and accounting fees due primarily to $465,000 in fees incurred for the closing of the December 2011 preferred stock financing and an increase of approximately $35,000 in fees for general corporate matters offset by a reduction of approximately $15,000 in fees associated with our intellectual property.

The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 was driven primarily by a decrease in compensation expense, travel related expense, investor relation fees and amortization of intangible assets; partially offset by an increase in legal fees and the severance accrual for a retired director.

-	We reduced compensation expenses approximately $1,348,000 compared to the same period in the prior year due to a reduction in headcount and the prior year severance accrual for a former officer.

-	We reduced administrative travel costs approximately $175,000 compared to the same period in the prior year due to a reduction in headcount and international travel.

-	We reduced depreciation and amortization costs approximately $81,000 compared to the same period in the prior year due to impairments to intangible assets recorded in the prior year.

-	We reduced investor relations costs by approximately $157,000 compared to the same period in the prior year due to a reduction in presentations and costs associated with international marketing firms.

We incurred an increase of approximately $907,000 in legal and accounting fees due primarily to $465,000 in fees incurred for the closing of the December 2011 preferred stock financing, and an increase of approximately $435,000 in accounting and legal fees associated with our filings and other corporate matters.

-	We incurred an increase in consulting and Board of Director fees of approximately $215,000 compared to the same period in the prior year due to the accrual of severance payments due to a retired Director and fees paid to a third-party recruiter.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses include, but are not limited to, (i) expenses incurred under agreements with CROs and investigative sites, which conduct our clinical trials and a substantial portion of our pre-clinical studies; (ii) the cost of manufacturing and supplying clinical trial materials; (iii) payments to contract service organizations, as well as consultants; (iv) employee-related expenses, which include salaries and benefits; and (v) facilities, depreciation and other allocated expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities and equipment, depreciation of leasehold improvements, equipment, laboratory and other supplies. All research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses and percentage changes for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are as follows:

	Three months January 31,				Increase/		% Increase/		Nine months January 31,				Increase/			% Increase/
	2012		2011		(Decrease)		(Decrease)		2012		2011		(Decrease)			(Decrease)
Research and development expense	$	599,935	$	498,521	$	101,414		20 %	$	1,740,473	$	2,216,413	$	(475,940	)		(21) %

The increase in research and development expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2012 was driven primarily by an increase in compensation, consulting fees, product development costs, and lab costs; partially offset by a decrease in CRO costs.

-	We incurred an increase in compensation expenses of approximately $18,000 compared to the same period in the prior year due to personnel additions to manage clinical and preclinical trials and increased laboratory activities.

-	We incurred an increase of approximately $136,000 in Oxycyte development costs compared to the same period in the prior year due to costs incurred for scale-up manufacturing and preclinical studies.

-	We incurred an increase of approximately $52,000 in Dermacyte development costs compared to the same period in the prior year due to costs incurred for clinical trials for dermatologic indications.

-	We incurred an increase of approximately $70,000 in consulting costs compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the consulting agreement with our retired Chief Operating Officer entered into in the fourth quarter of the prior year.

-	We incurred an increase of approximately $21,000 in lab operating costs compared to the same period in the prior year due to costs incurred to scale up activities in our California lab to support manufacturing and clinical trials.

-	We reduced CRO costs approximately $188,000 compared to the same period in the prior year due to the completion of the first cohort of the TBI trials in the prior year and a $42,000 credit for overbillings recognized in the current period.

The decrease in research and development expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 was driven primarily by a reduction in CRO costs, Oxycyte development costs and travel costs; partially offset by an increase in consulting fees, Dermacyte development costs and lab operating costs.

-	We reduced CRO costs approximately $675,000 compared to the same period in the prior year due to the completion of the first cohort of the TBI trials in the prior year and a $42,000 credit for overbillings recognized in the current period.

-	We reduced travel costs by approximately $50,000 compared to the same period in the prior year due to a reduction in headcount, conferences and seminars, and international travel.

-	We reduced Oxycyte development costs by approximately $74,000 compared to the same period in the prior year due to a credit for billings under a prior year development agreement offset by an increase in costs incurred for scale-up manufacturing and preclinical studies.

-	We incurred an increase of approximately $188,000 in consulting costs compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the consulting agreement with our retired Chief Operating Officer entered into in the fourth quarter of the prior year.

-	We incurred an increase of approximately $114,000 in Dermacyte development costs compared to the same period in the prior year due to costs incurred for reformulating our existing cosmetic product line and clinical trials for dermatologic indications.

-	We incurred an increase of approximately $21,000 in lab operating costs compared to the same period in the prior year due to costs incurred to scale up activities in California lab to support manufacturing and clinical trials.

Conducting a significant amount of research and development is central to our business model. Product candidates in later-stage clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of development, primarily due to the significantly increased size and duration of clinical trials. We plan to incur substantial research and development expenses for the foreseeable future in order to complete development of our most advanced product candidate, Oxycyte, and to conduct earlier-stage research and development on our topical applications.

The process of conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials necessary to obtain FDA approval is costly and time consuming. The probability of success for each product candidate and clinical trial may be affected by a variety of factors, including, among other things, the quality of the product candidate’s early clinical data, investment in the program, competition, manufacturing capabilities and commercial viability. As a result of the uncertainties discussed above, uncertainty associated with clinical trial enrollment and risks inherent in the development process, we are unable to determine the duration and completion costs of current or future clinical stages of our product candidates or when, or to what extent, we will generate revenues from the commercialization and sale of any of our product candidates. Development timelines, probability of success and development costs vary widely. We are currently focused on developing our most advanced product candidate, Oxycyte, and our topical dermatologic indications; however, we will need substantial additional capital in the future in order to complete the development and potential commercialization of Oxycyte and other product candidates.

Other Income and Expense

Other income and expenses and percentage changes for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are as follows:

	Three months January 31,					Increase/		% Increase/		Nine months January 31,					Increase/		% Increase/
	2012		2011			(Decrease)		(Decrease)		2012		2011			(Decrease)		(Decrease)
Other expense (income), net	$	82,850	$	(253,661	)	$	336,511		(133) %	$	91,970	$	(285,952	)	$	377,922		(132) %

During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012, other expense increased approximately $337,000 and $378,000, respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year.

During the three months ended January 31, 2012, we wrote-off of approximately $85,000 in receivables from Glucometrics, Inc. for reimbursable patent fees. Glucometrics, Inc. previously held license rights for the use of our patents related to glucose monitoring technology. The license agreement was terminated in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 while they attempted to restructure and obtain additional financing to support the development of their technology. Their restructuring efforts failed during the three months ended January 31, 2012 and management determined the receivable to be uncollectible in the current period.

-	During the three months ended January 31, 2012, other income decreased approximately $250,000. This decrease is attributed to an award of $244,489 under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, or PPACA, received in the third fiscal quarter of the prior year.

Interest Expense

Interest expense and percentage changes for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are as follows:

	Three months January 31,				Increase/		% Increase/		Nine months January 31,				Increase/		% Increase/
	2012		2011		(Decrease)		(Decrease)		2012		2011		(Decrease)		(Decrease)
Interest expense	$	5,341,988	$	43,093	$	5,298,895		12296 %	$	6,649,554	$	49,682	$	6,599,872		13284 %

During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012, interest expense increased approximately $5.3 million and $6.6 million, respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year.

-	During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012, we recognized approximately $2.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, for the accretion of the final payment premium due on the long-term notes payable as further described in Note 5 above.

-	During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012, we recognized approximately $600,000 and $1.5 million, respectively, for the accretion of the discount and amortization of deferred financing cost attributed to the Convertible notes issued in June 2011 as further described in Note 5 above.

-	During the three months ended January 31, 2012, we recognized approximately $1.2 million in interest expense for the computed fair value of warrants issued with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock purchase agreement as further described in Note 6 above.

During the three months ended January 31, 2012, we recognized approximately $200,000 in non-cash interest expense for the conversion of dividends and preferred stock into common stock and approximately $1.0 million in non-cash interest expense for the change in computed fair value of the outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as further described in Note 6 above.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Plan of Operation

We have incurred losses since our inception and as of January 31, 2012 we had an accumulated deficit of $105 million. We will continue to incur losses until we generate sufficient revenue to offset our expenses, and we anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses for at least the next several years. We expect to incur increased expenses related to our development and potential commercialization of Oxycyte and other product candidates and, as a result, we will need to generate significant net product sales, royalty and other revenues to achieve profitability.

Liquidity

We have financed our operations since September 1990 through the issuance of debt and equity securities and loans from stockholders. We had $4,332,875 and $1,632,211of total current assets and working capital of $(1,476,098) and $(551,033) as of January 31, 2012 and April 30, 2011, respectively. Our practice is to invest excess cash, where available, in short-term money market investment instruments.

We are in the preclinical and clinical trial stages in the development of our product candidates. We are currently conducting Phase II-b clinical trials for the use of Oxycyte in the treatment of severe traumatic brain injury. Even if we are successful with our Phase II-b study, we must then conduct a Phase III clinical study and, if that is successful, file with the FDA and obtain approval of a Biologics License Application to begin commercial distribution, all of which will take more time and funding to complete. Our other product candidates must undergo further development and testing prior to submission to the FDA for approval to initiate clinical trials, which also requires additional funding. Management is actively pursuing private and institutional financing, as well as strategic alliances and/or joint venture agreements to obtain the necessary additional financing and reduce the cost burden related to the development and commercialization of our products though we can give no assurance that any such initiative will be successful. We expect our primary focus will be on funding the continued testing of Oxycyte, since this product is the furthest along in the regulatory review process. Our ability to continue to pursue testing and development of our products beyond July 31, 2012 depends on obtaining license income or outside financial resources. There is no assurance that we will obtain any license agreement or outside financing or that we will otherwise succeed in obtaining the necessary resources.

On December 8, 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors, consisting of an aggregate $7.5 million of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase approximately 1,689,192 shares of common stock (“the Offering”). The Offering is scheduled to fund in two installments. The first installment of the Offering was completed on December 12, 2011. At closing, the investors purchased $3.5 million of newly issued Preferred Stock and related warrants. Subject to our meeting certain conditions, including conditions that are outside our control, there is a second mandatory installment whereby we may issue up to an additional $4 million of Preferred Stock and warrants. The second installment would fund when the first installment is fully redeemed, at approximately the six month anniversary of the initial closing.

On August 2, 2011, the Company received $619,181 and issued 366,379 shares of common stock for the exercise of certain outstanding warrants.

In June 2011, we entered into a Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with two institutional investors for the issuance and sale in a private placement of an aggregate $4.9 million in subordinated convertible promissory notes and warrants. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the private placement were approximately $4.9 million, excluding any proceeds from the exercise of any Warrants, and the aggregate placement agent fees were approximately $386,000.

In May 2011, we issued the remaining $700,000 in promissory notes under the October 2010 Note Purchase Agreement with Vatea Fund.

Based on our working capital at January 31, 2012 and the net proceeds from the registered direct offering described in Note 9 of our financial statements above, we believe we have sufficient capital on hand to continue to fund operations through July 31, 2012. In the event that we satisfy all of the equity conditions under the Offering described above and in further detail in Note 6, we believe the funds received under the second closing, in addition to our working capital at January 31, 2012, will be sufficient to fund operations through January 31, 2013.

Cash Flows

The following table shows a summary of our cash flows for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011:

	For the nine months ended January 31,
	2012			2011
Net cash used in operating activities		(6,857,458	)		(6,652,528	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(207,200	)		(370,627	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		9,394,216			6,912,789

Net cash used in operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $6.9 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $6.6 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2011. The increase of cash used for operating activities was due primarily to costs incurred in closing on the December Preferred Stock Securities Purchase Agreement partially offset by an increase in revenue earned under our government grant and reduced operating costs.

Net cash used in investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $207,200 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $370,627 for the nine months ended January 31, 2011. The decrease of cash used for investing activities was due to a reduction in capitalized legal fees incurred for filing and maintaining our patent portfolio and a reduction in capital equipment expenditures.

Net cash provided by financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $9.4 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $6.9 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2011. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 was due primarily to net proceeds of approximately $4.5 million received from the issuance of the convertible notes in June 2011, approximately $0.6 million from the exercise of outstanding warrants in August 2011, and approximately $0.7 million proceeds from the issuance of promissory notes payable in May 2011 under the Note Purchase Agreement with Vatea Fund and approximately $3.5 million received from the closing of the Preferred Stock Securities Purchase Agreement in December 2011.

Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors that include, but are not limited to the following:

·	the initiation, progress, timing and completion of clinical trials for our product candidates and potential product candidates;

·	the outcome, timing and cost of regulatory approvals and the regulatory approval process;

·	delays that may be caused by changing regulatory requirements;

·	the number of product candidates that we pursue;

·	the costs involved in filing and prosecuting patent applications and enforcing and defending patent claims;

·	the timing and terms of future in-licensing and out-licensing transactions;

·	the cost and timing of establishing sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution capabilities;

·	the cost of procuring clinical and commercial supplies of our product candidates;

·	the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products or technologies; and

·	the possible costs of litigation.

As a result of our recently completed financing, described in Note 6 above, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our projected operating requirements through July 31, 2012. In the event that we satisfy all of the equity conditions under the Certificate of Designation, we believe the funds received under the second closing, in addition to our working capital at January 31, 2012, will be sufficient to fund operations through January 31, 2013.

We will need substantial additional capital in the future in order to complete the development and commercialization of Oxycyte and to fund the development and commercialization of our future product candidates. Until we can generate a sufficient amount of product revenue, if ever, we expect to finance future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements. Such funding, if needed, may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. In the event we are unable to obtain additional capital, we may delay or reduce the scope of our current research and development programs and other expenses.

To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience additional significant dilution, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. To the extent that we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish some rights to our technologies or our product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. We may seek to access the public or private capital markets whenever conditions are favorable, even if we do not have an immediate need for additional capital.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On May 1, 2011, we adopted ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The guidance requires the disclosure of roll forward activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

On May 1, 2011, we adopted ASU 2010-17, Revenue Recognition—Milestone Method (Topic 605). The guidance establishes a revenue recognition model for contingent consideration that is payable upon the achievement of an uncertain future event, referred to as a milestone. The scope of the ASU is limited to research or development arrangements and requires an entity to record the milestone payment in its entirety in the period received if the milestone meets all the necessary criteria to be considered substantive. The adoption of ASU 2010-17 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Since our inception, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Management does not believe that we possess any instruments that are sensitive to market risk. Our debt instruments bear interest at fixed interest rates.

We believe that there have been no significant changes in our market risk exposures for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the Exchange Act, our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of January 31, 2012, the period covered by this report in that they provide reasonable assurance that the information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required by the SEC.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We routinely review our internal controls over financial reporting and from time to time make changes intended to enhance the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and will take action as appropriate.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On August 30, 2011, Tenor Opportunity Master Fund Ltd., Aria Opportunity Fund, Ltd., and Parsoon Opportunity Fund, Ltd (collectively, “Tenor”) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that a right of first offer held by Tenor was breached in connection with our June 2011 financing. The complaint seeks compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs. We filed an Answer to the Complaint on October 4, 2011 and pre-trial discovery is currently underway. We believe the facts do not support a finding in their favor and intend to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

We are supplementing the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2011 with the risk factors below.

We depend on the services of a limited number of key personnel.

Our success is highly dependent on the continued services of a limited number of scientists and support personnel. The loss of any of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, our success will depend, among other factors, on the recruitment and retention of additional highly skilled and experienced management and technical personnel. There is a risk that we will not be able to retain existing employees or to attract and retain additional skilled personnel on acceptable terms given the competition for such personnel among numerous large and well-funded pharmaceutical and health care companies, universities, and non-profit research institutions, which could negatively affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As of August 24, 2011, Michael B. Jebsen is serving as both our Chief Financial Officer and our interim Chief Executive Officer. While we continue to search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer, we can give no assurances as to when, or if, we will locate a suitable candidate, and we may be adversely affected if we are unable to identify a qualified permanent Chief Executive Officer in a timely manner.

The redemption by us of Convertible Preferred Stock in stock or the conversion of such Preferred Stock by the holders could result in a substantial number of additional shares being issued, with the number of such shares increasing if and to the extent our market price declines, diluting the ownership percentage of our existing stockholders.

In December 2011, we completed a registered direct offering (the “2011 Offering”) consisting of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”) and warrants (the “2011 Warrants”) to purchase shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holders at an initial conversion price of $2.22. We will make amortization and dividend payments on the Preferred Stock, with the principal amount being amortized in six payments payable over the six months following the issue date of the Preferred Stock payable at our option in cash and/or stock, subject to certain conditions being met. If we elect to make the payments in shares of our common stock, the price used to determine the number of shares to be issued will be calculated using the lesser of (i) the-then existing conversion price, which is initially $2.22 per share and (ii) a 10% discount to a calculated market price. Accordingly, the lower the market price of our common stock at the time at which we make amortization payments in stock, the greater the number of shares we will be obliged to issue and the greater the dilution to our existing stockholders. Such issuances could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

The Preferred Stock contains covenants that may limit our business flexibility.

The Preferred Stock imposes significant restrictions on us that may restrict our ability to pursue our business strategies. These restrictions prohibit or limit, among other things:

·	the incurrence of additional indebtedness without the consent of the holders of the Preferred Stock;

·	the issuance of additional securities, subject to standard exceptions; and

·	the payment of cash dividends on shares of capital stock outstanding.

We are subject to substantial penalties if we breach the terms of the Preferred Stock

The Certificate of Designations that governs the Preferred Stock provides for various and severe penalties under various circumstances, including breach of the terms of the Certificate of Designations and any of the transaction documents relating to the 2011 Offering. These penalties include, but are not limited to, an increase in the dividend rate from 7% to 15%, and repayment of 125% of the then-outstanding stated value of the Preferred Stock in cash. In the event that any of these penalties are triggered, we may have insufficient funds to pay such penalties, which may adversely impact our ability to continue as a going concern.

The second closing of our December 2011 registered direct offering may not occur.

While our 2011 Offering provided for an aggregate amount of up to $7.5 million, only $3.5 million of the offered securities were purchased initially. The remainder of the 2011 Offering, which may be up to $4 million, is currently scheduled to be completed in a second closing in June 2012. However, the second closing is subject to various conditions, including conditions that are outside of our control, including, but not limited to, a minimum stock price prior to the second closing and a minimum trading volume limitation. In the event that the second closing does not occur, we would need to find alternative sources of capital to continue as a going concern, and there can be no assurance that such funding would be available on favorable terms or at all.
