NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization and Liquidity

Organization

Cardium Therapeutics, Inc. was organized in Delaware in December 2003. Cardium’s business is focused on the acquisition and strategic development of product opportunities or businesses having the potential to address significant unmet medical needs, and definable pathways to commercialization, partnering or other monetization following the achievement of corresponding development objectives. In October 2005, we acquired a portfolio of biologic growth factors and related delivery techniques from the Schering AG Group (now part of Bayer AG) for potential use in treating ischemic and other cardiovascular conditions. In March 2006, we acquired the technologies and products of Innercool Therapies, Inc., a medical technology company in the emerging field of therapeutic hypothermia, or patient temperature modulation, whose systems and products are designed to rapidly and controllably cool the body to reduce cell death and damage following acute ischemic events such as cardiac arrest and stroke, and to potentially lessen or prevent associated injuries such as adverse neurologic outcomes. In August 2006, we acquired rights to the assets and technologies of Tissue Repair Company, a company focused on the development of growth factor therapeutics for the potential treatment of tissue wounds such as chronic diabetic wounds, and whose product candidate, Excellarate^TM, is initially being developed as a single administration for the treatment of non-healing, neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers. Tissue Repair Company is operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cardium.

On July 24, 2009, we closed a transaction for the sale of our InnerCool Therapies business to Philips Electronics North America Corporation for $11.25 million, of which $1,125,000 is held in escrow as security for certain indemnification obligations, as well as the transfer of approximately $1.5 million in trade payables (the “Philips Transaction”). The operations of Innercool are shown as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. After the closing, the name of Innercool Therapies, Inc. was changed to Post-Hypothermia Corporation.

We are a development stage company. We have yet to generate positive cash flows from operations, and are essentially dependent on debt and equity funding to finance our operations. Before October 2005, cash requirements were funded by loans from executive officers. In October 2005, we closed a private placement of 19,325,651 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.50 per share and received net proceeds of $25,542,389. In connection with the private placement, we completed a reverse merger, whereby Cardium merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aries Ventures Inc. (“Aries”), a publicly-traded company. As a result of these transactions, the stockholders of Cardium became the controlling stockholders of Aries. Accordingly, the acquisition of Cardium by Aries was a reverse merger. In January 2006, Aries was merged with and into Cardium, with Cardium as the surviving entity and the successor issuer to Aries. As a result, we are now in our present form a publicly-traded, Delaware corporation named Cardium Therapeutics, Inc.

Our common stock is currently listed on the NYSE Amex (the “Exchange”). To maintain that listing, we must comply with the applicable listing standards of the Exchange. On December 23, 2008, we received notice from the staff of the Exchange that, based on their review of publicly available information, we did not meet certain of the Exchange’s continued listing standards as set forth in Part 10 of the Exchange’s Company Guide. In particular, the Exchange noted we were not considered to be in compliance with (i) Section 1003(a)(i) of the Company Guide because we reported stockholders’ equity of less than $2,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and net losses in two of our three most recent fiscal years, and (ii) Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Company Guide because we had sustained losses that were so substantial in relation to our overall operations or our existing financial resources, or our financial condition had become so impaired that it appeared questionable, in the opinion of the Exchange, as to whether we would be able to continue operations and/or meet our obligations as they mature.

To maintain listing of our common stock on the Exchange, we were required to submit a plan by January 23, 2009, advising the Exchange of the actions we had taken, or will take, that would bring us into compliance with Section 1003(a)(iv) by March 23, 2009 and in compliance with all sections including Section 1003(a)(i) by June 23, 2010. We submitted a plan to the Exchange on January 23, 2009, and the Exchange accepted our plan on February 17, 2009.

On April 9, 2009, the Exchange notified us that it had extended the time for compliance with the requirements of section 1003(a)(iv) from March 23, 2009 to June 27, 2009; and that the Company would also need to regain compliance with section 1003(a)(ii) of the Exchange’s Company Guide regarding maintenance of stockholder’s equity of at least $4 million, which it would need to do by June 23, 2010.

On July 24, 2009, we were informed by the Exchange that based on a review of publicly available information, including our press release dated July 24, 2009 regarding completion of the Philips Transaction, the Company has resolved the continued listing deficiencies referenced in the Exchange’s letters dated December 23, 2008 and April 9, 2009. However, pursuant to Section 1009(f) of the Exchange’s Company Guide, our plan period will remain open until we have been able to demonstrate compliance with the continued listing standards for two consecutive quarters. If we do not demonstrate compliance for two consecutive quarters and/or by the end of the plan period, June 23, 2010, the staff of the Exchange may initiate delisting procedures. The Exchange indicated that its conclusion is based on a review of available information with respect to the Company, including the Company’s filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and that the Exchange’s letter is subject to changes in the rules of the Exchange that could require the Exchange to re-evaluate its position and other qualifications.

If the Company’s common stock was ultimately delisted from the Exchange, it would be expected to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, a regulated quotation service that provides quotes, sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter equity securities, which may reduce the liquidity of, and may adversely affect the price of, our common stock.

Unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to the “Company,” “Cardium,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Cardium Therapeutics, Inc. and, as applicable, Post-Hypothermia Corporation (formerly, Innercool Therapies, Inc.) and Tissue Repair Company, each a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cardium.

Liquidity and Going Concern

Since inception, our operations have consumed substantial amounts of cash and we have had only limited revenues. We anticipate that the negative cash flow from operations will continue. On March 5, 2009 we completed a subordinated secured debt financing for which we received proceeds of approximately $3.5 million before placement agent fees and offering expenses of approximately $252,000. In June 2009 we completed an unsecured debt financing for which we received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $750,000 before placement agent fees and offering expenses of approximately $50,000. During the third quarter of 2009 we closed the Philips transaction and received net proceeds of approximately $10.1 million (excluding $1,125,000 being held in an escrow account). In addition on September 16, 2009 we closed a securities purchase agreement for the sale of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock for $1.50 per share. We received net proceeds of approximately $4.2 million after issuance costs. As of September 30, 2009 we had $4,418,910 in cash and cash equivalents.

We believe we will not be able to fund required operations without raising additional funds through the sale of equity securities, debt financings, strategic licensing agreements and/or other corporate transactions within the next six months. If we do not raise such funds, we will not be able to complete our product development activities or maintain operations. If we are not successful in obtaining additional funds, we will need to scale back our operations and/or sell or partner certain development projects or products, or our operations may not be able to continue as planned or at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets or classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Certain Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Our principal activities are expected to focus on the commercialization of our licensed technologies, other technologies and the expansion of our existing product candidates. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915 (formerly SFAS No. 7), “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.”

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable rules and regulations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. The consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

Effective July 31, 2009, we adopted ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events.” ASC Topic 855 addresses the types and timing of events that should be reported in the financial statements for events occurring between the balance sheet date and the date the financial statements are issued. We reviewed subsequent events for inclusion in the financial statements through November 9, 2009, the date that the accompanying financial statements were issued. The adoption of the ASC Topic 855 did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and these notes should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (“2008 Annual Report”). The accounting policies used to prepare the financial statements included in this report are the same as those described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our 2008 Annual Report unless otherwise noted below.

Earnings Per Common Share

We compute earnings per share, or loss per share, in accordance with ASC Topic 260 (formerly SFAS No. 128), “Earnings Per Share.” ASC 260 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

Basic income or loss per common share for continuing operations and discontinued operations is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the issuance of common shares, if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants. These potentially dilutive securities were not included in the calculation of loss per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, due to the loss we incurred during such periods, their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, due to the income we incurred during the period, 18,893,337 of potentially dilutive securities were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share.

Potentially dilutive securities not included in diluted loss per common share for continuing operations and discontinued operations consisted of outstanding stock options and warrants to acquire 25,538,217 shares as of September 30, 2009 and 13,942,163 shares as of September 30, 2008.

The following table outlines the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Net income (loss)	$	0.10

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or cash flows as previously reported other than to separately report discontinued operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

In accordance with ASC 718 stock-based compensation costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of the award. Total stock-based compensation expense included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations was 124,129 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, and $494,750 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, $187,993 was recorded as a component of research and development expenses and $306,757 was recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. Total stock-based compensation expense included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations was $513,998 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, and $1,617,633 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, $739,258 was recorded as a component of research and development expenses and $878,375 was recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. As of September 30, 2009 the Company had $1,547,190 of unvested stock-based compensation at fair value remaining to be expensed ratably over the period October 2009 through May 2013.

The fair value of the stock options and similar stock-based compensation granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected life and stock price volatility. The following weighted-average assumptions were used:


	For the Three Months Ended September 30,
	2009		2008
Dividend yield	0	%	0	%
Expected life (years)	2.38		5.25
Risk-free interest rate	0.98	%	3.11	%
Volatility	97	%	75	%


	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2009		2008
Dividend yield	0	%	0	%
Expected life (years)	4.29		5.25
Risk-free interest rate	1.64	%	3.00	%
Volatility	94	%	75	%

Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions. In most instances, the Company is no longer subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2005.

As of December 31, 2008 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be recorded. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefit position to change during the next 12 months.

The Company recognized a deferred tax asset of approximately $31 million as of September 30, 2009 related to net operating loss carryforwards (which excludes net operating losses of $71 million that represent pre-merger losses for which the use is limited in accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), available to offset future taxable income through 2029. The net operating losses begin to expire in 2023 for federal tax purposes and in 2013 for state income tax purposes.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those net operating losses are available. The Company considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making its assessment. At present, the Company does not have a sufficient history of income to conclude that it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be able to realize all of its tax benefits in the near future and therefore a valuation allowance was established for the full value of the deferred tax asset.

A valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal of any portion or all of the valuation. Should the Company become profitable in future periods with supportable trends, the valuation allowance will be reversed accordingly.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued ASC topic 820 (formerly SFAS No. 157), “Fair Value Measurements” , which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. ASC topic 820 is applicable to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, except those relating to lease accounting, and accordingly does not require any new fair value measurements. Our adoption of the provisions of ASC topic 820 on January 1, 2008, with respect to financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value, did not have an effect on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008.

In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC topic 805 (formerly SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” ASC topic 805 retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized in the purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. ASC topic 805 is effective for acquisitions occurring in fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2008 and was required to be adopted by the Company in its first quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption of ASC topic 805 could have an impact on the accounting for any future acquisition, if one were to occur.

In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC topic 810 (formerly SFAS No. 160), “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements” ASC topic 810 requires (i) that non-controlling (minority) interests be reported as a component of stockholders’ equity, (ii) that net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest be separately identified in the consolidated statement of operations, (iii) that changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling interest be accounted for as equity transactions, (iv) that any retained non-controlling equity investment upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, and (v) that sufficient disclosures are provided that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. ASC topic 810 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted ASC topic 810 for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009, and the adoption did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued ASC topic 815, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (formerly SFAS No. 161), “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. ASC topic 818 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. . The adoption of this pronouncement on January 1, 3009 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued ASC topic 815, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” and provides guidance on determining what types of instruments or embedded features in an instrument held by a reporting entity can be considered indexed to its own stock for the purpose of evaluating the first criteria of the scope exception and was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this pronouncement had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements (See note 7).

Effective January 1, 2009 we adopted ASC topic 820 (formerly FSP FAS 157-3), “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active” which clarifies the application in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. ASC topic 820 became effective immediately upon issuance, and its adoption did not have an effect on our financial statements. We currently determine the fair value of our property and equipment when assessing long-lived asset impairments and ASC topic 820 was effective for these fair value assessments as of January 1, 2009.

In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC topic 820 “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” which provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. ASC topic 820 also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly and emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. ASC topic 820 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and is applied prospectively. The adoption of this pronouncement had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:

•

Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•

Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

•

Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as follows (unaudited):


Assets	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		September 30, 2009
None	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—


Liabilities	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		September 30, 2009
Fair value of common stock warrants	$	—	$	—	$	16,343,503	$	16,343,503
Total	$	—	$	—	$	16,343,503	$	16,343,503

See Note 7 for a discussion of the valuation techniques used to measure fair value for our common stock warrants.

In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC topic 825 (formerly SFAS 107), “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” which require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies, as well as in annual financial statements. The adoption of ASC topic 825 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because these instruments have original maturities of three months or less. The carrying value of our short-term debt approximates fair value because these instruments now have maturities of less than six months.

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC topic 855 (formerly SFAS No. 165), “Subsequent Events”. The objective of ASC topic 855 is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, ASC topic 855 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The requirements of ASC topic 855 should be applied to interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. Accordingly, we adopted ASC topic 855 in the second quarter of 2009.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC topic 105 (formerly SFAS No. 168), “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” ASC topic 105 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) to become the source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of ASC topic 105, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered,

non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. ASC topic 105 became effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC topic 105 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and results of operations.

Note 3. Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

On July 24, 2009, we closed the Philips Transaction.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC topic 360 (formerly SFAS No. 144), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the disposal of our Innercool business segment is presented as assets and liabilities held for sale and as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 6. Short-Term Debt

On November 10, 2008, we completed a secured debt financing pursuant to the terms of a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement entered into with certain accredited investors. Under the terms of the purchase agreement we issued senior secured notes in the aggregate principal amount of $6 million of senior secured notes to the investors, and five-year warrants to purchase an additional 9,386,625 shares of our common stock, in the aggregate, at an initial exercise price of $2.00 per share. The senior secured notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 12% per annum, payable monthly, have a one year term, are secured by all of our assets and intellectual property and are senior to, and have priority in right of payment over, any other indebtedness of our company. The senior secured notes may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time provided the investors receive an additional payment equal to the difference between the amount of interest they would have received through the maturity date of the notes and the amount of interest actually received as of the prepayment date. The warrants were fully exercisable when issued. We recorded deferred financing costs in the amount of $511,432 and debt discount in the amount of $3,780,000 in connection with this debt financing. As of November 5, 2009, all of the senior secured notes had been repaid.

On March 5, 2009 we completed a $3.5 million financing in the form of senior subordinated secured notes with accompanying warrants to purchase 1,505,000 shares of our common stock. The senior subordinated secured notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 12% per annum, payable upon maturity, are secured by all of the assets and intellectual property of Cardium, InnerCool and TRC, and are senior to, and have priority in right of payment over, any other indebtedness of Cardium with the exception of the senior secured notes. The warrants were fully exercisable when issued, had a five year term and an initial exercise price of $2.00. We received gross proceeds of $3.5 million in this financing, less placement agent fees and offering expenses of approximately $252,000. In addition, we issued warrants to purchase 90,300 shares of common stock to the placement agent on the same terms as the warrants issued to the lenders. We also recorded deferred financing costs in the amount of $289,827 and debt discount in the amount of $675,960 in connection with this debt financing. As a result of the Phillips transaction, all of the senior subordinated secured notes have been repaid.

Under the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 11, 2006, Cardium, through its subsidiary, acquired substantially all of the assets and the business related to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tissue Repair Company, from certain sellers now known as Tissue Repair Royalty Company, LLC (“TRC RC”). On February 23, 2009, Cardium, Tissue Repair and TRC RC agreed that a $500,000 milestone payment due in February 2009 in connection with Tissue Repair’s Phase 2 MATRIX clinical study for its Excellarate product candidate, for the potential treatment of non-healing diabetic ulcers, would be substituted by a convertible promissory note to TRC RC in the same amount (the “TRC Note”). The TRC Note bears interest at a rate of 0.6% per annum and provides for principal payments of $50,000 on each of March 1, 2009, April 1, 2009, May 1, 2009 and June 1, 2009 with the remaining principal balance and any interest due on June 11, 2009. If Cardium completes an equity financing of at least $2,000,000 or elects to sell its Innercool Therapies subsidiary, the maturity date would be accelerated and the remaining principal and unpaid interest would become due at that time. If Cardium did not repay the TRC Note when due, TRC RC would have the option to convert the remaining principal balance and any interest due into shares of Cardium’s common stock at a conversion price per share equal to

the average of the closing or last sale price reported for the five trading days immediately preceding the maturity date of the Note, or such other price as specified in the Note if Cardium’s common stock is not then traded on the NYSE Amex (subject to certain adjustments). On August 4, 2009 we paid the remaining principal balance due under the TRC Note in the amount of $400,000.

On June 23, 2009 we completed a $750,000 unsecured debt financing involving the sale of unsecured notes with accompanying warrants to purchase 502,500 shares of our common stock. The unsecured notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 12% per annum, payable upon maturity. The maturity date of the unsecured notes was the earlier of June 27, 2009, or the closing of a qualified asset monetization qualified financing or qualified stock sale (see above). The warrants were fully exercisable when issued, have a five-year term and an initial exercise price of $2.00. We received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $750,000 before placement agent fees and offering expenses of approximately $50,000. In addition, we issued warrants to purchase 12,060 shares of common stock to the placement agent on the same terms as the warrants issued to the lenders. In connection with the Phillips transaction $539,000 of the unsecured notes were repaid. We repaid the remaining $211,000 of the unsecured notes which where due and payable on November 5, 2009.

Note 7. Derivative Liabilities

The adoption of ASC 815, as described under Note 2 above can affect the accounting for warrants and many convertible instruments with provisions that protect holders from a decline in the stock price (or “down-round” provisions). For example, warrants with such provisions will no longer be recorded in equity. Down-round provisions reduce the exercise price of a warrant or convertible instrument if a company either issues equity shares for a price that is lower than the exercise price of those instruments or issues new warrants or convertible instruments that have a lower exercise price. We evaluated whether warrants to acquire stock of the Company contain provisions that protect holders from declines in the stock price or otherwise could result in modification of the exercise price under the respective warrant agreements. We determined that warrants to purchase 16,361,029 shares of the Company’s common stock contained such provisions, thereby concluding they were not indexed to the Company’s own stock and were reclassified from equity to derivative liabilities.

In accordance with ASC 815, the Company estimated the fair value of the above described warrants as of January 1, 2009 to be $4,806,149 by recording a reduction in paid-in-capital of $12,982,785 and a decrease to accumulated deficit of $9,413,466. In addition, we increased the debt discount by $1,236,830. The effect of these adjustments is recorded as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principles in our condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ deficiency. In January 2009 we reclassified $315,680 as an addition to paid-in-capital and a reduction in derivative liabilities as warrants to purchase 1,088,550 shares of our common stock no longer contained price protection provisions. In September 2009 warrants to purchase 1,595,300 shares of our common stock no longer contained price protection provisions therefore we reclassified $2,073,890 as an addition to paid in capital and a reduction in derivative liabilities.

On March 5, 2009, we completed a $3.5 million financing. In connection with this financing, we issued warrants to purchase an additional 1,595,300 shares of our common stock that had a fair value of $713,886 at the time of issuance. On June 23, 2009, we completed a $750,000 financing in which we issued warrants to purchase an additional 514,560 shares of our common stock that had a fair value of $703,520.

As of September 30, 2009, the fair value of all of our outstanding derivative liability warrants was $16,343,503. The change in fair value for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was reported as income in the amount of $1,964,663 and $12,509,518 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 is reported as a charge included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The change in fair value of our derivative liabilities is reported as a charge in our condensed consolidated statements of operations of $2,871,901 for the period from December 22, 2003 (date of inception) through September 30, 2009.

Note 8. Stockholders’ Deficiency

Common Stock

On September 16, 2009, we sold an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock and 2,250,000 warrants to common stock to certain institutional investors in exchange for gross proceeds of $4.2 million, net of issuance costs. Each investor received warrants to purchase a number of shares equal to 75% of the number of shares of common stock purchased by the investor in the offering. The units were sold at a price of $1.50 per unit. The initial exercise price of the warrants was $1.77.

Option Activity

We have an equity incentive plan that was established in 2005 under which 5,665,856 shares of our common stock have been reserved for issuance to employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, options to purchase 1,542,500 shares were granted under the plan.

Warrants

On March 5, 2009 we completed a $3.5 million financing in the form of senior subordinated secured debt with accompanying warrants to purchase 1,505,000 shares of our common stock. The warrants were fully exercisable when issued, have a five-year term and an initial exercise price of $2.00. In addition, we issued warrants to purchase 90,300 shares of common stock to the placement agent on the same terms as the warrants issued to the lenders.

On June 23, 2009 we completed a $750,000 unsecured debt financing with accompanying warrants to purchase 502,500 shares of our common stock. The warrants were fully exercisable when issued, have a five year term and an initial exercise price of $2.00. In addition, we issued warrants to purchase 12,060 shares of common stock to the placement agent on the same terms as the warrants issued to the lenders.

On September 16, 2009, we closed a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors relating to the sale and issuance by our company to the investors of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock and 2,250,000 warrants to purchase common stock, for a total purchase price of $4.5 million purchase price of $1.50 per unit. The warrants issued to the investors in the offering are exercisable any time on or after March 16, 2010 for a period of five years from that date. The exercise price of the warrants is $1.77 per share. The number of shares subject to the warrants is subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our common stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders. In addition, the placement agent for the September financing received 150,000 warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $1.87 on substantially identical terms; provided, however that the warrants to the placement agent expire on December 18, 2012.

The issuance of the common stock under the terms of the securities purchase agreement described above caused an adjustment to the exercise price of certain of our outstanding warrants. We have approximately 13,790,725 warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The exercise price of those warrants was adjusted to $1.50 on the closing of the offering. In addition certain warrants contained provisions for additional warrants to be issued if the exercise price was adjusted. We issued an additional 384,417 warrants to those investors.

The following table summarizes warrant activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2009:

Note 9. Sale of Innercool Therapies business

On July 24, 2009 we closed the Philips transaction selling all of the assets (excluding cash) and the assumption of certain liabilities of our Innercool Therapies business. The purchase price was $11,250,000, net of a working capital adjustment of $7,148.00.

The following is the calculation of the gain on the sale of Innercool.


Selling price	$	11,250,000
Less working capital adjustment		(7,148	)

Net cash paid		11,242,852
Assets and liabilities sold:
Accounts receivable		97,606
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		131,137
Inventory, net		1,702,823
Property and equipment, net		742,390
Intangible assets, net		3,533,023
Other long term assets		40,103
Accounts payable		(1,185,152	)
Other liabilities		(227,681	)

Subtotal		4,834,249

Gain on sale of Innercool business unit	$	6,408,603

In connection with the sale we made certain representations and warranties to Phillips that are standard for such transactions, including representations regarding the condition of the Innercool Therapies assets and liabilities. We have agreed to indemnify Phillips for any damages arising from the breach of any of those representations and warranties, as well as any breach of any covenant under the Asset Purchase Agreement. Our liability for breach of certain representations is contractually capped at $3.5 million; however, claims for damages arising out of certain “Excepted Representations” or any covenant under the Asset Purchase Agreement are not subject to the contractual limitation. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, we deposited $1,125,000 of the proceeds from the sale into an escrow account to act as security for our indemnification obligations.

Note 10. Subsequent Events

On October 20, 2009, we closed a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors relating to the sale and issuance by our company to the investors of an aggregate of 4,615,385 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, for a total purchase price of $6.0 million. The warrants issued to the investors will be exercisable any time on or after April 20, 2010 for a period of six years from that date. The exercise price and the number of shares subject to the warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our common stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders.

Each investor will receive one warrant representing the right to purchase, at an exercise price of $1.40 per share, a number of shares of common stock equal to 65% of the number of shares of common stock purchased by the investor in the offering. The placement agent received warrants to purchase 230,769 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.63 per share at identical terms.

The issuance of the common stock under the terms of the securities purchase agreement described above caused a further adjustment to the exercise price of certain of our outstanding warrants. Following the September 16, 2009 financing transaction, we have approximately 13,701,310 warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $1.50. The exercise price of those warrants adjusted to $1.30 on the closing of the offering under the terms of those warrants and an additional 236,564 were issued.

On November 5, 2009 we repaid the remaining balance of our outstanding debt in the amount of $3,760,500 for our outstanding senior secured notes and $211,000 for our unsecured notes which were due and payable.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 9, 2009, which is the date the Company filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2009 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There are no further subsequent events for disclosure.

ITEM 2.

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

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help you understand our financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. You should read the following discussion and analysis together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 in this report, as well as the risk factors and other information included in our 2008 Annual Report and other reports and documents we file with the SEC. Our future financial condition and results of operations will vary from our historical financial condition and results of operations described below.

Executive Overview

The following overview does not address all of the matters covered in the other sections of this Item 2 or other items in this report or contain all of the information that may be important to our stockholders or the investing public. This overview should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Item 2 and this report.

We are a medical technology company primarily focused on the development and commercialization of novel biologic therapeutics and medical devices for cardiovascular and ischemic disease. Since we were initially funded in October 2005, we have made three strategic acquisitions and assembled a portfolio of innovative late-stage cardiovascular and regenerative medicine product candidates. We have established a pipeline of innovative products that are divided into two operating units, Cardium Biologics and the Tissue Repair Company.

Our business is focused on the acquisition and strategic development of product opportunities or businesses having the potential to address significant unmet medical needs, and definable pathways to commercialization, partnering or other monetization following the achievement of corresponding development objectives. Consistent with our overall business strategy, as our product opportunities and businesses are advanced and corresponding valuations established, we intend to consider various corporate development transactions designed to place our product candidates into larger organizations or with partners having existing commercialization, sales and marketing resources, and a need for innovative products. Such transactions could involve the sale, partnering or other monetization of particular product opportunities or businesses.

Since December 31, 2008, we (i) completed the sale of Innercool Therapies to Royal Philips Electronics (ii) completed the Matrix Phase 2b clinical study for the Excellarate topical gel, our collagen-based, Gene Activated Matrix product candidate for wound healing of diabetic foot ulcers that, in consultation with the FDA, we will seek to develop a Phase 3 clinical study program to advance forward in the commercialization process (iii) identified Excellagen topical gel, as a potentially new, customized collagen-based product candidate, based on additional data from our Matrix Phase 2b clinical study, for advanced wound care management by physicians for patients topical wounds that include diabetic ulcers, as well as pressure ulcers, venous ulcers surgical and trauma wounds and other types of wounds, that we will seek to commercially advance based on a 510(k) pathway with the FDA and (iv) announced the Company’s new orthobiologics initiative that will seek to leverage positive pre-clinical research and our Gene Activated Matrix technology platform, developed by our wholly-owned subsidiary The Tissue Repair Company, for the potential healing of non-union bone fractures and/or spinal fusion.

Following the sale of our Innercool Therapies business, we do not currently have any products available for sale or use. Because of the limited nature of our revenues and the high costs we must incur to develop our product candidates, we have yet to generate positive cash flows or income from operations and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. As a result, we are currently dependent on debt and equity funding to finance our operations. During the third quarter and subsequent to the end of the quarter we raised net proceeds of $9.7 million from the sale of common stock and warrants in two registered direct offerings.

Going forward, the key elements of our strategy are to:

•

complete a 510(k) registration process for Excellagen^™ and complete commercial development; candidate Excellagen;

•

advance the clinical study for the Excellarate^™ product into Phase 3;

•

evaluate partnering opportunities designed to support the advancement of the Generx and Corgentin product candidates;

•

broaden and expand our product base and financial resources through other corporate development transactions in an attempt to enhance stockholder value, which could include acquiring other medical-related companies or product opportunities and/or securing additional capital; and

•

monetize the economic value of our product portfolio by establishing strategic collaborations and selling businesses and assets at appropriate valuation inflection points.

We recognize that the practical realities of developing therapeutic products and devices in the current regulatory environment require sizable financial investment. In view of this, we plan to pursue clinical development strategies intended to facilitate collaborations and partnerships for joint development of our products at appropriate valuation inflection points during their clinical development cycle.

More detailed information about our products, product candidates, our intended efforts to develop our products and our business strategy is included in our 2008 Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and their accompanying notes. We have identified certain policies such as the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, inventory allowance, the useful lives of fixed assets, the valuation of intangible assets, accrued expense estimates and derivative liabilities, that we believe are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. These policies require the application of significant judgment by our management. We base our estimates on our historical experience, industry standards, and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. An adverse effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations could occur if circumstances change that alter the various assumptions or conditions used in such estimates or assumptions.

Our significant accounting policies are described under Item 7 of our 2008 Annual Report and in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Results of Operations

Three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to September 30, 2008.

Grant revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $235,917 compared to no revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase of $235,917 in the grant revenues was attributable to an increase in preclinical study activities.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $1,176,943 compared to $2,612,414 for the same three month period last year. The decrease of $1,435,471 is primarily due to a reduction in expenses related to our Excellarate product candidate in its Phase 2b clinical trial and reductions in Generx (AWARE) Phase 3 clinical trial costs. There were also reductions in salaries and stock option compensation.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $1,309,331 compared to $1,678,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease of $369,169 for the three month period was primarily due to decreases in stock option compensation, salaries, employee benefits and rent expense for Cardium. Tissue Repair showed an increase mainly due to the loss recognized on the abandonment of leasehold improvements as the company was moved out of the building it occupied with Innercool.

We derive interest income from the investment of our available cash in various short-term obligations, such as certificates of deposit, commercial paper and money market funds. Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $2,929 compared to $8,028 for the same three month period last year. The $5,099 decrease in interest income for the three month period when compared to the same period last year was related to the decrease in cash available for investment during the respective periods and lower interest rates.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $1,338,440 as a result of the senior secured note financing from November 2008, senior subordinated secured note financing from March 2009 and unsecured note financing from June 2009,

and consists of $252,762 of interest paid or accrued, $128,908 of amortization of costs, and $956,770 of amortization of warrant value issued with the debt.

On July 24, 2009 we closed the Philips transaction selling all of the assets (excluding cash) and the assumption of certain liabilities of our Innercool business unit. The purchase price was $11,250,000 net of a working capital adjustment of $7,148.00; we reported a gain on the sale of Innercool Therapies business of $6,408,603 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to September 30, 2008.

Grant revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $261,549 compared to $374,633 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease of $113,084 was attributable to the reduction of preclinical study activities.

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $3,528,249 compared to $9,032,104 for the same nine month period last year. The decrease of $5,503,855 was primarily due a reduction in expenses related to our Excellarate product candidate in its Phase 2b clinical trial, reductions in Generx (AWARE) Phase 3 clinical trial costs and $1,000,000 product advancement milestone payment that was recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 that did not reoccur in the first nine months of 2009. There were also reductions salary expense, stock option compensation and production costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $3,819,473 compared to $4,939,281 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease of $1,119,808 for the nine month period was primarily due to decreases in salary related costs, professional fees, stock option compensation and investor relations expenses at Cardium.

We derive interest income from the investment of our available cash in various short-term obligations, such as certificates of deposit, commercial paper and money market funds. Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $9,702 compared to $95,664 for the same nine month period last year. The $85,962 decrease in interest income for the nine month period when compared to the same period last year was related to the decrease in cash available for investment during the respective periods and lower interest rates.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $5,888,555 as a result of the senior secured note financing from November 2008, senior subordinated secured note financing from March 2009 and unsecured note financing from June 2009,, and consists of $985,477 of interest paid or accrued, $688,450 of amortization of costs, and $4,214,628 of amortization of warrant value issued with the debt.

On July 24, 2009 we closed the Philips transaction selling all of the assets (excluding cash) and assumption of certain liabilities of our Innercool business unit. The purchase price was $11,250,000 net of a working capital adjustment of $7,148.00; we reported a gain on the sale of Innercool Therapies business of $6,408,603 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2009, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $4,418,910 compared to $1,102,894 at December 31, 2008. Subsequent to the end of the quarter we raised net proceeds of approximately $5,500,000 (after payment of placement agent fees and offering expenses) from the sale of 4,615,385 shares of common stock and 3,000,000 warrants in a registered direct offering. We repaid $3,760,500 of outstanding senior secured notes outstanding and $211,000 of unsecured notes which were due and payable on November 5, 2009.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $8,800,929 compared to $12,059,610 for the same nine month period last year. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was due primarily to the reductions in Generx (AWARE) Phase 3 and Excellarate Phase2b clinical trial costs, and reductions in operating expenses following the sale of our Innercool Therapies business in July 2009.

Investment activities did not use any cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to a use of $1,623,524 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease of $1,623,524 was due to a $1,000,000 technology license fee and the purchase of $623,524 in property and equipment during the first nine months of 2008 that did not reoccur during the first nine months of 2009. As of September 30, 2009, we did not have any significant commitments for capital expenditures.

Financing activities provided $12,116,945 of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, including (i) $11,250,000 from the sale of our Innercool Therapies business, (ii) $4,162,176 in net proceeds (after payment of placement agent fees and offering expenses) from the sale of 3,000,000 shares of common stock and 2,225,000 warrants in a registered direct offering that was completed in September, (iii) $3,912,618 from our March 5, 2009 financing in the form of senior subordinated secured debt, and (iv) $696,101 in warrant exercises. These amounts were partially offset by $6,778,500 in repayment of the unsecured debt in connection with the sale of our Innercool business and $1,125,000 in restricted cash. Net cash provided by financing activities was $6,086,893 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and $75,859,730 for the period December 22, 2003 (inception) to September 30, 2009, and was primarily derived from proceeds we received from the sale of our common stock, net of issuance costs and the sale of our Innercool Therapies business unit.

We do not have any unused credit facilities or financing arrangements available to us. Because we do not currently have any product candidates available for sale, we do not have accounts receivable or inventory. Consequently, cash and cash equivalents represent our principal source of capital. We believe that our existing capital will be sufficient to finance our operations for the next six months. Our business strategy is to pursue clinical development strategies intended to facilitate collaborations and partnerships for joint development of our products at appropriate valuation inflection points during their clinical development cycle. As we advance our product candidates, like Excellagen^TM, we will look to establish collaborations or partnerships with partners that have financial resources or distribution channels to assist us in completing development. We do not have any such collaborations or partnerships in place at this time and we cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to secure such support on terms that are favorable to us or at all.

If we cannot establish a collaboration to facilitate development of our product candidates and we do not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to support our business, we intend to rely on additional financing transactions to secure the capital necessary to fund continued operations. Any future sale of debt or equity may be pursuant to a private placement or a public offering. We have filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC which permits us to sell up to $50 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and units. We have sold an aggregate of $22 million of securities under that registration statement through the date of this report. The shelf registration does not represent a firm commitment underwriting, and we do not have any arrangements in place for the sale of additional equity or debt securities at this time.

If we are not successful in obtaining additional funds through a collaboration with a strategic partner or a financing transaction, we will need to scale back our operations and/or sell or partner certain development projects or products, or our operations may not be able to continue as planned or at all. The previously described conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets or classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

As of September 30, 2009, we did not have any significant off-balance sheet debt nor did we have any transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) or other relationships with any unconsolidated entities or other persons that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenue or expenses material to investors. As of September 30, 2009, we had operating lease obligations of approximately $2,391,363 extending through 2013.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to a limited level of market risk, which is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, due to the investment of our available cash in various instruments.

The goal of our investment activities is to preserve principal while seeking to increase income received on our investments without significantly increasing risk. In the normal course of business, we employ established policies and procedures to manage our exposure to changes in the fair value of our investments. We generally do not, however, enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes or to otherwise manage our exposure to interest rate changes. Generally, we seek to limit our exposure to risk by investing substantially in short-term, investment grade securities, such as commercial paper, certificates of deposit and money market funds. The amount of interest income we receive on our investments will vary with changes in the general level of interest rates in the United States, generally decreasing as interest rates decrease and increasing as interest rates increase.

While we cannot predict with any certainty our future exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or other market risks or the impact, if any, such fluctuations may have on our future business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, due to the short-term, investment grade nature of our investments, we do not believe our exposure to market risk from our investments is material.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain certain disclosure controls and procedures. They are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information is: (1) gathered and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, on a timely basis; and (2) recorded, processed, summarized, reported and filed with the SEC as required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2009. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for their intended purpose described above.

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended September 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors or all instances of fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and any design may not succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitation of a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters may relate to intellectual property, employment, tax, regulation, contract or other matters. The resolution of these matters as they arise will be subject to various uncertainties and, even if such claims are without merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.

As of the date of this report, neither Cardium nor its subsidiaries were a party to any material pending legal proceeding nor was any of their property the subject of any material pending legal proceeding. In the course of our business, however, we could become engaged in various intellectual property, product-related and other matters in connection with the technology we develop or license and the products we develop or sell. To the extent we are not successful in defending against any adverse claims concerning our technology, we could be compelled to seek licenses from one or more third parties who could be direct or indirect competitors and who might not make licenses available on terms that we find commercially reasonable or at all. In addition, any such proceedings, even if decided in our favor, involve lengthy processes, are subject to appeals, and typically result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. In the course of our business, we are also routinely involved in proceedings such as disputes involving goods or services provided by various third parties to Cardium or its subsidiaries, which we do not consider likely to be material to Cardium, but which can nevertheless result in costs and diversions of resources to pursue.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below and under Item 1A of our 2008 Annual Report, as well as the other information in our 2008 Annual Report, this report and other reports and documents we file with the SEC, when evaluating our business and future prospects. If any of the identified risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or a portion of the value of your investment in our common stock.

We sold all of the assets and business of our InnerCool Therapies, Inc. in July 2009 and may face claims for damages from the buyer if representations and warranties that we have made in connection with that sale result in the buyer of those assets exercising certain indemnification rights.

On July 10, 2009 we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Phillips Electronics North America Corporation (“Phillips”), pursuant to which we sold to Phillips certain assets and liabilities of our Innercool Therapies, Inc. subsidiary. The sales closed on July 24, 2009. In connection with the transaction, Phillips assumed only certain specified liabilities relating to the business. We retained responsibility for all other liabilities of the business, including contingent and unknown claims that may have existed at the time of sale. Also, in connection with the sale we made certain representations and warranties to Phillips that are standard for such transactions, including representations regarding the condition of the Innercool Therapies assets and liabilities. We have agreed to indemnify Phillips for any damages arising from the breach of any of those representations and warranties, as well as any breach of any covenant under the Asset Purchase Agreement. Our liability for breach of certain representations is contractually capped at $3.5 million; however, claims for damages arising out of certain “Excepted Representations” or any covenant under the Asset Purchase Agreement are not subject to the contractual limitation. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, we deposited $1,125,000 of the proceeds from the sale into an escrow account to act as security for our indemnification obligations. We may, however, receive claims in excess of the funds in escrow. Any substantial indemnification claim under the Asset Purchase Agreement, or the defense of any such claim, could result in substantial costs, which would impair our financial condition and disrupt our ability to operate our remaining business.

In connection with the sale of our Innercool business we sold the rights to our only marketable products that had received FDA approval, and may not have any other marketable products commercially available for several years. Our remaining product candidates require additional research, development, testing, and regulatory approvals before marketing. We may be unable to develop, obtain regulatory approval or market any of our product candidates or expand the market of our existing products and technology. If our product candidates are delayed or fail, we will not be able to generate revenues and cash flows from operations, and we may have to curtail or cease our operations.

As part of our sale of the assets of the Innercool business in July 2009, we sold the rights to InnerCool’s Celsius Control System^®, RapidBlue^TM system and CoolBlue^TM system, and their associated disposables. We currently do not sell any other products and may not have any other products commercially available for several years, if at all. Our product candidates require additional research and development, clinical testing and regulatory clearances before we can market them. To our knowledge, FDA has not yet approved any gene therapy or similar product and there can be no assurance that it will. There are many reasons that our products and product candidates may fail or not advance beyond clinical testing, including the possibility that:

•

our products and product candidates may be ineffective, unsafe or associated with unacceptable side effects;

•

our product candidates may fail to receive necessary regulatory approvals or otherwise fail to meet applicable regulatory standards;

•

our product candidates may be too expensive to develop, manufacture or market;

•

physicians, patients, third-party payers or the medical community in general may not accept or use our products;

•

our potential collaborators may withdraw support for or otherwise impair the development and commercialization of our products or product candidates;

•

other parties may hold or acquire proprietary rights that could prevent us or our potential collaborators from developing or marketing our products or product candidates; or

•

others may develop equivalent, superior or less expensive products.

In addition, our product candidates are subject to the risks of failure inherent in the development of biologics, gene therapy and other products based on innovative technologies. As a result, we are not able to predict whether our research, development and testing activities will result in any commercially viable products or applications. If our product candidates are delayed or we fail to successfully develop and commercialize our product candidates, or if we are unable to expand the market of our existing products or related technology, our business, financial condition or results of operations will be negatively affected, and we may have to curtail or cease our operations.

We rely on third party clinical research organizations to manage our clinical trials. Under this business model, we have less control over the clinical trials and may experience delays or errors in our clinical trials that could adversely affect our business, financial results and commercial prospects.

To obtain regulatory approvals for new products, we must, among other things, initiate and successfully complete multiple clinical trials demonstrating to the satisfaction of the FDA that our product candidates are sufficiently safe and effective for a particular indication. We currently rely on third party clinical research organizations to assist us in designing, administering and assessing the results of those trials. In relying on those third parties, we are dependent upon them to timely and accurately perform their services. We have experienced, and in the future may experience, delays in our clinical trials. Any such delay will result in additional costs, and defer any prospective opportunities to monetize the product candidate. Product development costs to us and our potential collaborators will increase, and our business may be negatively impacted, if we experience delays in testing or approvals or if we need to perform more or larger clinical trials than planned, for reasons such as the following:

•

the FDA or other health regulatory authorities, or institutional review boards, do not approve a clinical study protocol or place a clinical study on hold;

•

suitable patients do not enroll in a clinical study in sufficient numbers or at the expected rate, or data is adversely affected by trial conduct or patient drop out;

•

patients experience serious adverse events, including adverse side effects of our drug candidate or device;

•

patients die during a clinical study for a variety of reasons that may or may not be related to our products, including the advanced stage of their disease and medical problems;

•

patients in the placebo or untreated control group exhibit greater than expected improvements or fewer than expected adverse events;

•

third-party clinical investigators do not perform the clinical studies on the anticipated schedule or consistent with the clinical study protocol and good clinical practices, or other third-party organizations do not perform data collection and analysis in a timely or accurate manner;

•

service providers, collaborators or co-sponsors do not adequately perform their obligations in relation to the clinical study

or cause the study to be delayed or terminated;

•

regulatory inspections of manufacturing facilities, which may, among other things, require us or a co-sponsor to undertake corrective action or suspend the clinical studies;

•

the interim results of the clinical study are inconclusive or negative;

•

the clinical study, although approved and completed, generates data that is not considered by the FDA or others to be sufficient to demonstrate safety and efficacy; and

•

changes in governmental regulations or administrative actions affect the conduct of the clinical trial or the interpretation of its results.

Significant delays may adversely affect our financial results and the commercial prospects for our product candidates and delay our ability to become profitable. If third party organizations do not accurately collect and assess the trial data we may discontinue development of viable product candidates or continue allocating resources to the development and marketing of product candidates that are not efficacious. Either outcome could result in significant financial harm to our company and damage to our reputation.
