INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Innercool Therapies, Inc.

San Diego, California

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Innercool Therapies, Inc. (the “Company”) (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and for the period from January 23, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The financial statements of the Company for the period from January 23, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 2003 were audited by other auditors whose report dated October 27, 2004, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The statements for the period from January 23, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 2003 reflect a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $44,759,807. The other auditors’ report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it related to the amounts included in such periods, is based solely on the report of such other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Innercool Therapies, Inc. (a development stage company) at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and for the period from January 23, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses, has an accumulated deficit of $55.4 million at December 31, 2005 and management needs to raise additional capital to fund operations through December 31, 2006. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization and Business

Innercool Therapies, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 23, 1998, and is engaged in the research of novel therapeutic devices to treat neurological and cardiovascular disorders.

Basis of Presentation

During 2005, the Company had revenues totaling $697,162. The Company has not focused its primary efforts in the sales process and has not generated significant revenues. Therefore, these transactions do not constitute the Company’s planned primary operations and the Company continues to be considered in the development stage as of December 31, 2005.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of business. Sustaining successful operations is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to repay obligations as they become due, financing on-going research and development efforts, and achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. Management is attempting to raise additional capital to meet these objectives; however, there is no assurance that their efforts will be sufficient to fund operations through December 31, 2006 (see Note 8). The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from this uncertainty.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, assessing the following: the valuation of accounts receivables and the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products to end-users when persuasive evidence of a sale exists including: the product is complete, tested and has physically shipped, the sales price is fixed and determinable, the buyer is obligated to pay the total purchase price, title for the product has transferred to the buyer, collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured, there are no material contingencies or rights of return and the Company does not have significant obligations for future performance.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Long-term debt, which is based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities, is reported at its carrying value, which the Company believes approximates the fair value.


Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. These investments generally consist of money market funds and certificates of deposit and are stated at cost, which approximates fair market value.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets (three to seven years) using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the related lease or the useful life of the asset. When assets are sold, or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recorded.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company invests its excess cash in money market accounts and short-term certificates of deposit. The Company has established guidelines relative to diversification of its cash investments and their maturities that are intended to ensure safety and liquidity. These guidelines are periodically reviewed and modified to take advantage of trends in yields and interest rates and changes in the Company’s operations and financial position. To date, the Company has not experienced any impairment losses on its cash and cash equivalents.

Revenues from two customers accounted for 61.4% of the Company’s revenue in 2005. One of these customers represented 75.4% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2005. Revenues from one customer represented 59.8% of the Company’s revenue in 2004. Two customers represented 80.0% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2004.

During 2005, payments to one of the Company’s vendors constituted approximately 10.6% of purchases. Two vendors represented 51.1% of the Company’s accounts payable at December 31, 2005.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets with finite lives are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. A significant decrease in the fair value of a long-lived asset, an adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used or in its physical condition or an expectation that a long-lived asset will be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated life are among several of the factors that could result in an impairment charge.

Recoverability of assets to be held and used in operations is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less selling costs.

To date, the Company has not experienced any impairment losses on its long-lived assets used in operations. While the Company’s current and historical operating and cash flow losses are indicators of impairment, the Company believes the future cash flows to be received support the carrying value of its long-lived assets and, accordingly, the Company has not recognized any impairment losses as of and through December 31, 2005.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock options granted to employees in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, as amended, and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. The Company recognizes any resulting compensation expense over the associated service period, which is generally the option vesting term.


Options granted to non-employees have been valued in accordance with SFAS No.123 and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods, or Services. Deferred charges for options granted to non-employees are periodically remeasured as the options vest.

At December 31, 2005, the Company had one stock-based employee compensation plan. No compensation cost has been recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the stock options issued to employees since they were all issued at fair market value on the date of grant. Awards under the plan vest over periods of up to five years.

Pro forma information regarding net loss is required by SFAS 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock plan under the fair value method of that statement. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding at December 31, 2004 and 2005 was approximately 5.2 and 4.3 years, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the options was $0.08 in 2004 and $0.08 in 2005.

The fair value was estimated at the date of grant using the “minimum value” method with the following weighted-average assumptions as follows:

 

     2004     2005  

Risk-free interest rate of

   3.5 %   4.0 %

Dividend yield of

   0 %   0 %

Weighted-average expected life

   5.2 years     4.3 years  

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the vesting period of such stock options. The difference between the Company’s net loss as reported and pro forma net loss is not material.

 

2. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consist of the following:

 

     2005     2004  

Machinery and equipment

   $ 731,486     $ 980,656

     436,480       648,402  

Furniture and fixtures

     271,864       271,864

     1,906,778       2,367,870  

Less accumulated depreciation and amortization

     (1,777,470 )     (1,994,989 )
                
   $ 129,308     $ 372,881  
                

 

3. Equipment Line of Credit

Since December 1998, the Company has had available an equipment line of credit with a financing company that allowed the Company to borrow between $750,000 and $1,500,000 for the purchase of equipment. Borrowings under the equipment line of credit are secured by a $250,000 security deposit pledge. As part of this equipment line of credit agreement, the Company granted warrants to the lender to purchase 10,830 Series A preferred stock at $1.50 per share, 6,602 Series B preferred stock at $3.35 per share and 7,493 Series C preferred stock at $6.30 per share. The fair value of the warrants is not significant. The warrants are exercisable seven years from the date of issuance or upon the Company’s sale, whichever is earlier.

During fiscal 2004 the equipment line of credit was paid in full.


4. Notes Payable

Bridge Loans

In July 2003, the Company agreed to sell up to $4,000,000 in senior secured convertible promissory notes and issue warrants to purchase shares of preferred stock (“First Closing”). As part of this financing, lenders agreed to make loans up to $1,000,000 in any given month prior to November 1, 2003 up to a total of $4,000,000. The loans were secured by a first priority, perfected lien in all of the tangible and intangible personal property assets of the Company. The interest rate on the outstanding aggregate note principal balance was 6%. Each lender received, for each calendar month, or part of a calendar month, that the notes remained outstanding, a warrant to purchase a number of securities issued in the next equity financing equal to 5% prior to November 1, 2003 and 10% from November 1, 2003 forward of the average daily principal balance of such lender’s loans outstanding (“warrant coverage amount”). The warrants were exercisable at the option of each respective lender in whole or in part, and from time to time, at any time prior to the ten year anniversary of the next equity financing. The exercise price of the warrants was equal to the issuance securities price in the next equity financing. The warrant shares had the same registration rights and other rights and privileges as the conversion shares.

As a result of the issuance of the warrant, which was valued at $512,491 using Black-Scholes, the Company recorded a debt discount of $512,491 that was amortized to interest expense upon the conversion of the bridge loan, as well as an additional $512,491 in interest expense related to the beneficial conversion feature attributable to the value assigned to the warrant during fiscal 2003.

In 2004, the Company reached an agreement with the lenders to cancel the warrants. Under this agreement the lenders relinquished their rights under the warrant in exchange for participation in the Second and Third Closings which amended the Initial Notes to include more favorable terms.

In accordance with the amended and restated note and warrant purchase agreement, the promissory notes and accrued interest were convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of the full participating majority lenders, at any time and from time to time into Series C1 preferred stock, at an amount determined by dividing the amount of aggregate principal by $0.81 or if not a fully participating lender, the number of shares to be issued upon conversion of this note shall be an amount determined by dividing the amount of the aggregate principal and unpaid accrued interest by the lowest per share issuance price of the securities issued in a subsequent financing of $5,000,000 or more.

In 2004, the lenders chose to exercise their conversion rights. The principal and accrued interest were converted into 6,837,215 shares of Series C1 Preferred Stock and 36,412 shares of Series D1 Preferred Stock. The Series C1 shares were valued at $.81 and the Series D1 shares were valued at $5.00. In addition, the additional paid in capital relating to the cancelled warrants was added to the cost of the Series C1 shares.

Notes Payable

The notes payable were issued at various times in 2005 and mature February 2006. These notes bear interest at 8% per annum and are secured by all personal property and certain intellectual property of the Company. These notes contain a provision (the “Return Provision”) where, upon any acquisition, as long as any amounts remain outstanding on these notes, the Company shall pay the lenders an amount equal to 10 times the principal amount of the note outstanding together with unpaid interest to date.

Subsequent to year end, the maturity date was changed to the close of an acquisition or September 30, 2007 and the Return Provision was amended to an amount equal to the lender’s pro-rata share of the shares of stock of an acquiror received pursuant to the asset purchase agreement (see note 8). As a result, interest was recorded relating to these notes for the portion of the difference between the total value of the asset sale less principal and interest.


5. Facility Lease

The Company leases its primary office facility under an operating lease agreement which was amended in October 2002 and expires in October 2007. At December 31, 2005, estimated annual future minimum rental payments under the Company’s operating lease for the years ending December 31 are as follows:

 

2006

   $ 302,400

2007

     252,000
      

Total minimum lease payments

   $ 554,400
      

Rent expense was $283,872 and $255,411 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 respectively, and $1,851,917 for the period from January 23, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 2003.

 

6. Stockholders’ Equity

The holders of the Series C preferred stock are entitled to receive in preference to the Series A and Series B preferred stockholders an amount equal to $2.95 per share in the event of a liquidation or winding up of the Company.

Upon completion of the distribution to the Series C preferred stockholders in the event of a liquidation, the Series A preferred stock has a per share liquidation preference of $1.50 and the Series B and Series C preferred stock have a per share liquidation preference of $3.35. All series of preferred stock are convertible into common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The preferred shares will automatically convert into common stock upon the earlier of: 1) the date specified by written consent or agreement of holders of a majority of the shares of such series outstanding or 2) immediately upon the closing of an underwritten public offering of common stock at not less than $12.60 per common share and having aggregate gross offering proceeds of not less than $20 million. The preferred stockholders have voting rights equal to the common shares they would own upon conversion.

The preferred stockholders are entitled to noncumulative annual dividends of $0.12 per share on the Series A preferred stock, $0.27 per share on the Series B preferred stock and $0.50 per share on the Series C preferred stock when funds are legally available, and if and when such dividends are declared by the Board of Directors. Through December 31, 2005, no dividends have been declared.

Stock Option Plan

The Company has 1,825,000 shares of common stock issuable under the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the “1998 Plan”), as amended, to eligible employees, officers, directors, advisors and consultants. The 1998 Plan provides for the grant of incentive and nonstatutory stock options. Terms of the stock option agreements, including vesting requirements,


are determined by the Board of Directors, subject to the provisions of the 1998 Plan. Options granted by the Company generally vest over one to five years and are exercisable from the date of grant for a period of ten years. The exercise price of the incentive stock options must equal at least the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of nonstatutory stock options must equal at least 85% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. Options granted to advisors and consultants are recorded at the fair value of the options granted. Options are immediately exercisable by the holder once granted. The Company has the option, in the event of termination of employment, to repurchase unvested shares issued under the 1998 Plan at the original issue price. At December 31, 2005, no shares are subject to repurchase. At December 31, 2005 there are 262,293 shares available for future grant of stock options.

8. Subsequent Event

On March 8, 2006, Cardium Therapeutics, Inc. (“Cardium”), through its subsidiary, acquired substantially all of the assets of the Company. As partial consideration, Cardium issued to the Company 2,500,000 shares of Cardium’s common stock. In addition, as part of the acquisition, Cardium agreed to (i) deliver to the Company $5,000,000 in cash or shares of Cardium’s common stock, at Cardium’s election, if net sales revenue from certain of the Company’s existing line of business products acquired in the acquisition equals or exceeds $20,000,000 in any one calendar year beginning with 2006 and ending December 31, 2011; (ii) assume certain liabilities of the Company in the aggregate amount of approximately $580,000; and (iii) pay certain transaction costs associated with the


acquisition and amounts that may be payable to employees of the Company for accrued and unpaid vacation estimated, in the aggregate, to be approximately $170,000, as well as certain audit fees and expenses. It is anticipated that the net proceeds from the sale will be distributed to the Note Holders as principal and accrued interest.

 

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.

Introduction to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

On March 8, 2006, Cardium, through its newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, Innercool Therapies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, acquired substantially all of the assets, assumed certain liabilities and acquired the business of Innercool Therapies, Inc., an unaffiliated California corporation (“Innercool”) engaged in the business of researching, developing, manufacturing, marketing, selling and distributing products and services related to endovascular temperature control therapy. The transaction is more fully described in Note 1 to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information gives effect to the above described acquisition. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet combines the balance sheet of Cardium with Innercool as of December 31, 2005, as if the acquisition of Innercool occurred on that date. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations combine the results of operations of Cardium with Innercool for the year ended December 31, 2005, as if the acquisition of Innercool, which occurred after December 31, 2005, had been completed as of January 1, 2005.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is based on historical amounts for the year ended December 31, 2005, and certain amounts at the close of the acquisition. The information presented is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations of the consolidated company that would have actually occurred had the acquisition been effected as of the beginning of the periods indicated or that may be attained in the future. Actual future results will likely be materially different from these pro forma results. This unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial information of Cardium and Innercool included elsewhere in this report and in other reports and documents Cardium files with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ACQUISITION

On March 8, 2006, Cardium Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Cardium”), through its newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, Innercool Therapies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, acquired substantially all of the assets, assumed certain liabilities and acquired the business of Innercool Therapies, Inc., an unaffiliated California corporation (“Innercool”) engaged in the business of researching, developing, manufacturing, marketing, selling and distributing products and services related to endovascular temperature control therapy.

As partial consideration, Cardium issued to Innercool 2,500,000 shares of Cardium’s common stock. In addition, as part of the acquisition, Cardium agreed to (i) deliver to Innercool $5,000,000 in cash or shares of Cardium’s common stock, at Cardium’s election, if net sales revenue from certain of Innercool’s products acquired in the acquisition equals or exceeds $20,000,000 in any one calendar year beginning with 2006 and ending December 31, 2011; (ii) assume certain liabilities of Innercool in the aggregate amount of approximately $580,000; and (iii) pay certain transaction costs associated with the acquisition and amounts that may be payable to employees of Innercool for accrued and unpaid vacation estimated, in the aggregate, to be approximately $170,000, as well as certain audit fees and expenses. The last reported sale price for Cardium’s common stock before the close of the Innercool transaction was $2.35 per share.
