MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Access Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (together with our subsidiaries, “We,” “Access” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation. We are an emerging biopharmaceutical company focused on developing a range of pharmaceutical products primarily based upon our nanopolymer chemistry technologies and other drug delivery technologies. We currently have one marketed product licensed in the U.S. and China. We also have additional products and platform technologies in development where we are seeking partners to continue development and/or to license the technology.

Marketed Product

●

MuGard™ is our marketed product for the management of oral mucositis, a frequent side-effect of cancer therapy for which there is no established treatment. The market for mucositis treatment is estimated to be in excess of $1.0 billion world-wide. MuGard, a proprietary nanopolymer formulation, has received marketing allowance in the U.S. from the FDA. We launched MuGard in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2010. On June 6, 2013 we entered into an exclusive license agreement with AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“AMAG”) related to the commercialization of MuGard in the U.S. and its territories. Under the terms of the licensing agreement we received an upfront licensing fee of $3.3 million and a tiered, double-digit royalty on net sales of MuGard in the licensed territories.

Our China partners have received an acceptance letter from the State Food and Drug Administration of the People’s Republic of China, which provides marketing approval in China. MuGard has been manufactured in the U.S. and shipped to China for sale. Our China partners anticipate that commercial sales of MuGard will begin in China in the third quarter of 2013.

We are actively seeking partners to license MuGard in other territories.

For the following products we are seeking partners to continue development and/or are seeking partners to license the technology.

Product Candidates

●

Our candidate for the treatment of cancer is ProLindac™, a nanopolymer Diamino Cyclohexane (“DACH”)-platinum prodrug. ProLindac is in Phase 2 of clinical development and we have completed and evaluated data from several clinical trials with ProLindac. No additional trials are planned and none have been initiated this year in the U.S. or in Europe. We are working with our partners in China towards the initiation of clinical trials of ProLindac in China. Clinical studies of other indications including liver, colorectal and ovarian cancer are under consideration by Jiangsu Aosaikang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, our licensee for ProLindac in China. The DACH-platinum incorporated in ProLindac is the same active moiety as that in oxaliplatin (e.g. Eloxatin; Sanofi-Aventis), which has had annual sales in excess of $2.0 billion. ProLindac is available for partnering.

●

CobOral ® is our proprietary preclinical nanopolymer oral drug delivery technology based on the natural vitamin B12 oral uptake mechanism. We have developed products based upon the CobOral delivery technology, and have conducted sponsored development of a product for oral delivery of a number of peptides and RNAi therapeutics. The CobOral platform technology is available for partnering.

●

CobaCyte ® -mediated targeted delivery is a preclinical technology that makes use of the fact that cell surface receptors for vitamins such as B12 are often overexpressed by certain cells including many cancers. This technology uses nanopolymer constructs to deliver more anti-cancer drug to tumors while protecting normal tissues. The CobaCyte platform technology is available for partnering.

Products and Product Candidates

We use our drug delivery technologies to develop the following products and product candidates:

RECENT EVENTS

On June 27, 2013 we announced that Dr. Ron R. Allison of Carolina Radiation Medicine, Greenville, NC, presented top-line results from a Phase IV clinical trial evaluating MuGard at the MASCC/ISOO International Symposium on Supportive Care in Cancer in Berlin, Germany. The prospective, randomized, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the efficacy of MuGard in controlling symptoms caused by oral mucositis in 120 patients receiving chemo-radiation therapy for the treatment of cancers of the head and neck.

On June 6, 2013 we entered into an exclusive license agreement with AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“AMAG”) related to the commercialization of MuGard in the U.S. and its territories. Under the terms of the licensing agreement, we received an upfront licensing fee of $3.3 million and will receive a tiered, double-digit royalty on net sales of MuGard in the licensed territories. AMAG also purchased our existing MuGard inventory. The $3.3 million license fee is accounted for as deferred revenue and is recognized over ten years which is the life of the license agreement.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have funded our operations primarily through private sales of common stock, preferred stock, convertible notes and through licensing agreements. Our principal source of liquidity is cash and cash equivalents. Product sales, licensing payments and royalty revenues provided limited funding for operations during the six months ended June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, our cash and cash equivalents were $1,798,000 and our net cash burn rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013, was approximately $349,000 per month. As of June 30, 2013, our working capital deficit was $5,422,000. Our working capital deficit at June 30, 2013 represented an increase of $474,000 as compared to our working capital deficit as of December 31, 2012 of $4,948,000. The increase in the working capital deficit at June 30, 2013 reflects six months of net operating costs and changes in current assets and liabilities.

As of August 14, 2013, we did not have enough capital to achieve our long-term goals. If we raise additional funds by selling equity securities, the relative equity ownership of our existing investors will be diluted and the new investors could obtain terms more favorable than previous investors. A failure to obtain necessary additional capital in the future could jeopardize our operations and our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have incurred negative cash flows from operations since inception, and have expended, and expect to continue to expend in the future, substantial funds to complete our planned product development efforts. Since inception, our expenses have significantly exceeded revenues, resulting in an accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2013 of $263,751,000. We expect that our capital resources, revenues from MuGard sales and expected receipts due under our license agreements will be adequate to fund our current level of operations into the first quarter of 2014. However, our ability to fund operations over this time could change significantly depending upon changes to future operational funding obligations or capital expenditures. As a result, we may be required to seek additional financing sources within the next twelve months. We cannot provide assurance that we will ever be able to generate sufficient product revenue or royalty revenue to achieve profitability on a sustained basis or at all.

Since our inception, we have devoted our resources primarily to fund our research and development programs. We have been unprofitable since inception and to date have received limited revenues from the sale of products. We expect to incur losses for the next several years as we continue to invest in product research and development, preclinical studies, clinical trials and regulatory compliance.

SECOND QUARTER 2013 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 2012

Product sales of MuGard in the United States totaled $380,000 for the second quarter of 2013 as compared with $615,000 for the same period of 2012, a decrease of $235 ,000 . The second quarter of 2013 had two months of product sales (as a result of the license of the product in June 2013) while the same period in 2012 had three months of sales. On June 6, 2013, MuGard was licensed to AMAG and future revenue will be recorded as royalties. See sales table in “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Relating to MuGard” below .

Our licensing revenue for the second quarter of 2013 was $84,000 as compared to $60,000 for the same period of 2012, an increase of $24,000. We recognize licensing revenue over the period of the performance obligation under our licensing agreements.

We recorded royalty revenue for MuGard in the U.S. for June 2013 of $3,000. Prior to the license of MuGard to AMAG on June 6, 2013 we recorded product sales for MuGard. We recorded royalty revenue for MuGard in Europe of $15,000 for the second quarter of 2012 and none in the same period of 2013. In the first quarter of 2012, we finalized the negotiations for the termination of the license to our European partner for MuGard.

Total research and development spending for the second quarter of 2013 was $197,000, as compared to $654,000 for the same period of 2012, a decrease of $457,000. The decrease in expenses was primarily due to:

●	decreased salary and related costs ($186,000) from reduced scientific staff;

●	decreased clinical development with trials completed for MuGard, ProLindac , Thiarabine ($159,000);

●	decreased laboratory costs due to the closing of our laboratory ($64,000); and

●	other net decreases in research spending ($48,000).

Product costs for MuGard in the United States were $53,000 for the second quarter of 2013 as compared to $63,000 for the same period in 2012, a decrease of $10,000.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,137,000 for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to $1,406,000 for the same period of 2012, an increase of $731,000. The increase in expenses was due primarily to the following:

●	increased legal fees ($335,000);

●	increased stock compensation expense from expense of option grants for selling, general and administrative employees ($166,000);

●	increased general business consulting expenses for MuGard licensing transition costs ($130,000);

●	increased MuGard product selling expenses ($52 ,000 ); and

●	increased net other general and administrative expenses ($48,000).

Depreciation and amortization was $1,000 for the second quarter of 2013 as compared to $19,000 for the same period in 2012, a decrease of $18,000, due to assets being fully depreciated.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2013 year were $2,388,000 as compared to total operating expenses of $2,142,000 for the same period of 2012, an increase of $246,000 for the reasons listed above.

Interest and miscellaneous income was $75,000 for the second quarter of 2013 as compared to no income for the same period of 2012, an increase of $75,000. Miscellaneous income was higher in 2013 due to write-offs of certain accounts payables.

Interest and other expense was $43,000 for the second quarter of 2013 as compared to $169,000 in the same period of 2012, a decrease of $126,000. The decrease in interest and other expense was due to a pay down in the secured promissory note of $2.75 million in 2012.

We recorded a gain related to warrants classified as derivative liabilities of $219,000 for the second quarter of 2013 as compared to $431,000 for the same period of 2012. We recorded a derivative for warrants when the fair value of the warrants that were issued with our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were reclassified from equity per the requirements of accounting guidance as a result of the repricing feature.

We recorded a gain for the derivative liability related to preferred stock of $3,270,000 for the second quarter of 2013 and a loss of $9,410,000 for the same period of 2012. We recorded a derivative per the requirements of accounting guidance due to the possibility of resetting the conversion price of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock if we sold our common stock at a price below the conversion price.

Preferred stock dividends of $733,000 were accrued for the second quarter of 2013 and $439,000 for the same period of 2012, an increase of $294,000 due to the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock. Dividends are due semi-annually in either cash or common stock for the Series A Preferred Stock and due quarterly in either cash or preferred stock for the Series B Preferred Stock.

Net income allocable to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2013 was $867,000, or a $0.03 basic income per common share and a $0.03 diluted income per common share, compared with a net loss of $11,039,000, or a $0.46 basic and diluted loss per common share, for the same period in 2012, an increased income of $11,906,000.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012

Product sales of MuGard in the United States totaled $1,542,000 for the first six months of 2013 as compared with $1,169,000 for the same period of 2012, an increase of $373,000. Increased product sales were the result of sales growing over 19% per each full quarter during 2012 and the first quarter of 2013. On June 6, 2013, MuGard was licensed to AMAG and future revenue will be recorded as royalties. See sales table in “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Relating to MuGard” below .

Our licensing revenue for the first six months of 2013 was $146,000 as compared to $1,322,000 for the same period of 2012, a decrease of $1,176,000. We recognize licensing revenue over the period of the performance obligation under our licensing agreements. In the first quarter of 2012, we finalized the negotiations for the termination of the license from our European partner for MuGard and recognized all of the previously received license fees ($706,000) that were recorded in deferred revenue and a $500,000 termination fee.

We recorded royalty revenue for MuGard in the U.S. for June 2013 of $3,000. Prior to the license of MuGard to AMAG on June 6, 2013 we recorded product sales for MuGard. We recorded royalty revenue for MuGard in Europe of $36,000 for the first six months of 2012 and none in the same period of 2013. In the first quarter of 2012, we finalized the negotiations for the termination of the license to our European partner for MuGard.

Total research and development spending for the first six months of 2013 was $520,000, as compared to $1,404,000 for the same period of 2012, a decrease of $884,000. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to:

●	decreased salary and related costs ($451,000) from reduced scientific staff;

●	decreased clinical development with trials for MuGard, ProLindac and Thiarabine ($225,000);

●	decreased laboratory costs due to the closing of our laboratory ($121,000);

●	decreased stock compensation expense from lower expense of option grants for research and development employees ($56,000); and

●	other net decreases in research spending ($31,000).

Product costs for MuGard in the United States were $118,000 for the first six months of 2013 as compared to $122,000 for the same period in 2012, a decrease of $4 ,000 due to increased sales .

Total selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,475,000 for the first six months of 2013, as compared to $3,069,000 for the same period of 2012, an increase of $406,000. The increase in expenses was due primarily to the following:

●	increased legal fees ($307,000);

●	increased stock compensation expense from expense of option grants for selling, general and administrative employees ($162,000);

●	increased general business consulting expenses for MuGard licensing transition costs ($130,000);

●	increased MuGard product selling expenses ($147,000);

●	decreased salary and related costs ($209,000) from reduced general and administrative staff;

●	lower patent fees ($73,000) due to no new patents being filed in 2013; and

●	decreased net other general and administrative expenses ($58,000) .

Depreciation and amortization was $2,000 for the first six months of 2013 as compared to $73,000 for the same period in 2012, a decrease of $71,000, due to assets being fully depreciated.

Total operating expenses for the first six months of 2013 were $4,115,000 as compared to total operating expenses of $4,668,000 for the same period of 2012, a decrease of $553,000 for the reasons listed above.

Interest and miscellaneous income was $169,000 for the first six months of 2013 as compared to $1,000 for the same period of 2012, an increase of $168,000. Miscellaneous income was higher in 2013 due to sale of certain platinum inventory and to write-offs of certain accounts payables.

Interest and other expense was $86,000 for the first six months of 2013 as compared to $338,000 in the same period of 2012, a decrease of $252,000. The decrease in interest and other expense was due to the pay - off of the secured promissory note of $2.75 million in November 2012 . For the second quarter of 2013 $43,000 represents interest accrued on unpaid dividends.

We recorded a one-time expense of $2,316,000 in the first six months of 2012 for amendment agreements for 4,581,816 currently outstanding warrants which extended the expiration dates of such warrants to February 16, 2015 for 3,818,180 warrants; to October 24, 2015 for 386,364 warrants; and to December 6, 2015 for 377,272 warrants. The holders of such warrants include unaffiliated warrant holders as well as SCO Capital Partners LLC, Lake End Capital LLC and Beach Capital LLC. Such holders may be deemed to be affiliates of Jeffrey B. Davis and Steven H. Rouhandeh, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, respectively. The warrants that were amended were for the purchase of an aggregate of 4,581,816 shares of our common stock. In connection with the amendments, the holders of such warrants agreed to waive any damages that they may have incurred relating to the Company’s inability to register the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, other than liquidated damages that may have already accrued relating to such inability to register such shares.

We recorded a loss related to warrants classified as derivative liabilities of $28,000 for the first six months of 2013 as compared to a gain of $1,172,000 for the same period of 2012. We recorded a derivative for warrants when the fair value of the warrants that were issued with our Series A Preferred Stock were reclassified from equity per the requirements of accounting guidance as a result of the repricing feature.

We recorded a gain for the derivative liability related to preferred stock of $8,050,000 for the first six months of 2013 and a loss of $11,870,000 for the same period of 2012. We recorded a derivative per the requirements of accounting guidance due to the possibility of resetting the conversion price of our Series A Preferred Stock if we sold our common stock at a price below the original price.

Preferred stock dividends of $1,460,000 were accrued for the first six months of 2013 and $879,000 for the same period of 2012, an increase of $581 ,000 due to the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock. Dividends are due semi-annually in either cash or common stock for the Series A Preferred Stock and due quarterly in either cash or preferred stock for the Series B Preferred Stock.

Net income allocable to common stockholders for the first six months of 2013 was $4,221,000, or a $0.17 basic income per common share and a $0.17 diluted income per common share as compared to a net loss of $16,371,000, or a $0.68 basic and diluted loss per common share, for the same period in 2012, an increased income of $20,592 ,000.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Relating to MuGard

We sold MuGard in the U.S. to wholesalers, and specialty and retail pharmacies from September 2010 until June 6, 2013. On June 6, 2013 we licensed MuGard in the U.S. to AMAG Pharmaceuticals. Per the license agreement we will receive royalties from AMAG Pharmaceuticals after that date for its sales of MuGard. We accrued $3,000 of royalties for June 2013. The $3.3 million license fee is accounted for as deferred revenue and is recognized over ten years which is the life of the license agreement. We recognized revenue for MuGard product sales at the time title transferred to our customers, which occurred at the time product was shipped to our customers.

We recognized product sales allowances as a reduction of product sales in the same period the related revenue is recognized. Product sales allowances are based on amounts owed or to be claimed on the related sales. These estimates take into consideration the terms of our agreements with customers, rebates or discounts taken. If actual future results vary from our estimates, we may need to adjust these estimates, which could have an effect on product sales and earnings in the period of adjustment. Our product sales allowances include:

●

Wholesaler and Specialty and Retail Pharmacy Discounts – we offer contractually determined discounts to certain wholesale distributors and specialty and retail pharmacies that purchase directly from us. These discounts are either taken off the invoice at the time of shipment or paid to the customer on a monthly or quarterly basis.

●	Prompt Pay Discounts – we offer cash discounts to our customers, generally 2% of the sales price, as an incentive for prompt payment. Based on our experience many of the customers comply with the payment terms to earn the cash discount.

●	Patient Discount Programs – we offer discount programs in which patients receive certain discounts off their prescription.

●	Managed Care Rebates – we offer discounts under contracts with certain managed care providers who do not purchase directly from us.

We believe our estimates related to gross-to-net sales adjustments for MuGard do not have a high degree of estimation complexity or uncertainty as the related amounts are settled within a short period of time.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.

Based on our evaluation, our management concluded in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 that there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weakness identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 relates to the monitoring and review of work performed by our Chief Financial Officer in the preparation of audit and financial statements, footnotes and financial data provided to the Company’s registered public accounting firm in connection with the annual audit. All of our financial reporting is carried out by our Chief Financial Officer. This lack of accounting staff results in a lack of segregation of duties.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not remediated such material weakness and, as a result, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that a material weakness continues to exist as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and, as such, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by COSO. The material weakness identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any related financial disclosure, nor does management believe that it had any effect on the accuracy of the Company’s financial statements for the current reporting period.

In order to mitigate this material weakness to the fullest extent possible, all financial reports are reviewed for reasonableness by the Chief Executive Officer as well as the Chairman of the Audit Committee. All unexpected results are investigated. At any time, if it appears that any control can be implemented to continue to mitigate such weaknesses, it is immediately implemented. As soon as our finances allow, we will hire sufficient accounting staff and implement appropriate procedures for monitoring and review of work performed by our Chief Financial Officer.

Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Alan Schmidt, a former shareholder of Genaera Corporation (“Genaera”), and a former unitholder of the Genaera Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”), filed a purported class action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in June 2012. The lawsuit named thirty defendants, including the Company, MacroChem Corporation, which was acquired by the Company in February 2009, Jeffrey Davis, the CEO and a director of the Company, and Steven H. Rouhandeh and Mark Alvino, both of whom are Company executives (the “Access Defendants”). With respect to the Access Defendants, the complaint alleges direct and derivative claims asserting that directors of Genaera and the Trustee of the Trust breached their fiduciary duties to Genaera, Genaera’s shareholders and the Trust’s unitholders in connection with the licensing and disposition of certain assets, aided and abetted by numerous defendants including the Access Defendants. Schmidt seeks money damages, disgorgement of any distributions received from the Trust, rescission of sales made by the Trust, attorneys’ and expert fees, and costs. On December 19, 2012, Schmidt filed an amended complaint which asserts substantially the same allegations with respect to the Access Defendants. On February 4, 2013, the Access Defendants moved to dismiss all claims asserted against them. On August 12, 2013 the court granted defendants' motions to dismiss and entered judgment in favor of defenddants on all claims.

We are not currently subject to any other material pending legal proceedings.

ITEM 3.

DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.

Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations, Rights and Preferences of our Series A Preferred Stock, we are required to pay dividends in cash or shares of our common stock, semi-annually, at the rate of 6% per annum. If funds are not currently available to pay cash dividends or if a cash payment of dividends would be impermissible under Delaware law, we may in certain circumstances pay such dividends in shares of the Company’s common stock. In order to pay such dividends in shares of the Company’s common stock, there must either be an effective registration statement covering the resale of the dividend shares, the resale must be permissible subject to an exemption from registration, or the respective holders of Series A Preferred Stock must agree to accept restricted common stock as payment of such dividends. In the event none of these three circumstances are met, and the dividends have not been paid in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, the dividends shall continue to accrue until they are paid in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations, Rights and Preferences of our Series B Preferred Stock, we are required to pay dividends in cash or shares of our common stock, semi-annually, at the rate of 12% per annum. The Company has accrued as of June 30, 2013, dividends payable in the aggregate amount of $5,032,000.

Pursuant to the terms of an Investor Rights Agreement with the purchasers of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company is required to maintain an effective registration statement with respect to certain shares issuable upon conversion of our outstanding preferred stock. A registration statement filed by us relating to a portion of such securities was declared effective on November 13, 2008. However, as of June 30, 2013, the SEC had not yet declared a registration statement effective with respect to all of the shares covered by the Investor Rights Agreement, and as a result, we have accrued as of June 30, 2013, $857,000 in liquidated damages.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

(unaudited)

Access Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (together with our subsidiaries, “We”, “Access” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation. We are an emerging biopharmaceutical company focused on developing a range of pharmaceutical and medical device products primarily based upon our nanopolymer chemistry technologies and other drug delivery technologies.

(1)	Interim Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ deficit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, were prepared by management without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise disclosed, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and changes in financial position for such periods, have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results which may be expected for a full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 contains financial information taken from the audited Access financial statements as of that date.

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 contained an explanatory paragraph to reflect substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our history of losses and our liquidity position, as discussed therein and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We expect that our capital resources, revenues from MuGard sales and expected receipts due under our license agreements will be adequate to fund our current level of operations into the first quarter of 2014. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital funding in the future or enter into future license agreements for our products, we may not be able to continue as a going concern, which would have an adverse effect on our business and operations, and investors’ investment in us may decline.

Certain reclassifications to the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented have been made to conform to the June 30, 2013 presentation.

Liquidity

The Company generated net income allocable to common stockholders of $4,221,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and a loss of $12 , 531,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012. At June 30, 2013, our working capital deficit was $5,422 ,000. Management believes that our current cash, revenues from MuGard sales and expected license fees should fund our expected burn rate into the first quarter of 2014. We will require additional funds to continue operations. These funds are expected to come from royalties, the future sales of equity and/or license agreements. If we are unable to obtain adequate royalties or capital funding in the future or enter into future license agreements for our products, we may not be able to continue as a going concern, which would have an adverse effect on our business and operations, and investors’ investment in us may decline.

(3)	Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accruals approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these items.

GAAP defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

●	Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

●

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

●

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar valuation techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

GAAP requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

We have segregated all financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date in the table below.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are summarized below:

(in thousands)
Description	As of June 30, 2013		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total Gains (Losses)
Liabilities: Derivative liability-
warrants	$	299	$	-	$	299	$	-	$	(28	)
preferred stock	$	1,150	$	-	$	-	$	1,150	$	8,050

(in thousands)
Description	As of December 31, 2012		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total Gains (Losses)
Liabilities: Derivative liability-
warrants	$	271	$	-	$	271	$	-	$	1,236
preferred stock	$	9,200	$	-	$	-	$	9,200	$	(4,770	)

In order to calculate the Level 3 Derivative liability - preferred stock, we used the Monte Carlo simulation to estimate future stock prices. The use of valuation techniques requires the Company to make various key assumptions for inputs into the model, including assumptions about the expected future volatility of the price of the Company’s stock. In estimating the fair value at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we based our selected volatility on the one-year historic volatility of the Company’s stock as we believe this is most representative of the expected volatility in the near future for the Company.

(4) Stock Based Compensation

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $251 ,000 and $328,000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $108 ,000 and $222,000, respectively .

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation for the three and six months ended June 30 , 2013 and 2012:

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Research and development	$	10,000	$	33,000	$	19,000	$	74,000
Selling, general and administrative		241,000		75,000		309,000		148,000
Stock-based compensation expense included in operating expense	$	251,000	$	108,000	$	328,000	$	222,000

For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 we granted no stock options. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 we granted 510,000 and 510,000 stock options, respectively.

Our weighted average Black-Scholes fair value assumptions used to value the grants in the first six months of 2012 are as follows:


	6/30/12
Expected life(b)	5.5 yrs
Risk free interest rate	0.6	%
Expected volatility(a)	96	%
Expected dividend yield	0.0	%

(a)	Reflects movements in our stock price over the most recent historical period equivalent to the expected life.
(b)	Based on the simplified method.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, stock valued at $232,000 and $232,000, respectively, was granted to directors and officers.

(5) Litigation

Alan Schmidt, a former shareholder of Genaera Corporation (“Genaera”), and a former unitholder of the Genaera Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”), filed a purported class action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in June, 2012. The lawsuit named thirty defendants, including the Company, MacroChem Corporation, which was acquired by the Company in February 2009, Jeffrey Davis, the CEO and a director of the Company, and Steven H. Rouhandeh and Mark Alvino, both of whom are Company executives (the “Access Defendants”). With respect to the Access Defendants, the complaint alleges direct and derivative claims asserting that directors of Genaera and the Trustee of the Trust breached their fiduciary duties to Genaera, Genaera’s shareholders and the Trust’s unitholders in connection with the licensing and disposition of certain assets, aided and abetted by numerous defendants including the Access Defendants. Schmidt seeks money damages, disgorgement of any distributions received from the Trust, rescission of sales made by the Trust, attorneys’ and expert fees, and costs. On December 19, 2012 Schmidt filed an amended complaint which asserts substantially the same allegations with respect to the Access Defendants. On February 4, 2013, the Access Defendants moved to dismiss all claims asserted against them. On August 12, 2013 the court granted defendants' motions to dismiss and entered judgment in favor of defenddants on all claims.

We are not currently subject to any other material pending legal proceedings.

(6) Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income or loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income or loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the effect of additional weighted average common equivalent shares outstanding during the period when the effect of adding such shares is dilutive. Common equivalent shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants (the proceeds of which are then assumed to have been used to repurchase outstanding stock using the treasury stock method). In addition, the assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method include the average unrecognized compensation expense of stock options that are in-the-money. This results in the “assumed” buyback of additional shares, thereby reducing the dilutive impact of stock options and warrants. Common equivalent shares have not been included in the net loss per share calculations for three and six months ended June 30, 2012, because the effect of including them would have been anti-dilutive.

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share were determined as follows:

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)	Three months ended June 30,					Six months ended June 30,
	2013		2012			2013		2012

Net income (loss)	$	867	$	(11,039	)	$	4,221	$	(16,371	)
Weighted average shares outstanding		25,111,713		24,160,686			24,957,183		24,116,316
Basic net income (loss) per common share	$	0.03	$	(0.46	)	$	0.17	$	(0.68	)

Net income (loss)	$	867	$	(11,039	)	$	4,221	$	(16,371	)
Weighted average shares outstanding		25,111,713		24,160,686			24,957,183		24,116,316
Effect of dilutive options and warrants		357,516		-			357,516		-
Weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution		25,469,229		24,160,686			25,314,699		24,116,316
Diluted net income (loss) per common share	$	0.03	$	(0.46	)	$	0.17	$	(0.68	)

We did not include the following securities in the table below in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per common share because the securities were anti-dilutive during the periods presented:

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012

Warrants		35,683,943		15,783,943		35,683,943		15,783,943
Stock options		1,967,284		2,816,284		1,967,284		2,816,284
Preferred stock Series A		58,267,234		20,264,551		58,267,234		20,264,551
Preferred stock Series B		20,000,000		-		20,000,000		-
