Cascade Technologies Corp.

(A Development Stage Company)

 Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

 (unaudited)

1. Principal Business Activities and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Interim Financial Statements

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Cascade Technologies Corp. (“Cascade”, or the “Company”), a development stage company, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. However, the information included in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year. The balance sheet information as of December 31, 2010 was derived from the audited financial statements included in Form 10K filed March 11, 2011. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.

Organization and Business

Cascade is a development-stage, medical imaging device company. All medical device operations are being conducted by Cascade’s wholly owned subsidiary, Spectral Molecular Imaging, Inc. (“SMI”). Application of SMI’s proprietary spectral-optical-imaging technology—originally developed for satellite reconnaissance—is expected by management to advance early diagnoses of cancer and precancerous conditions, in vivo. SMI is developing non-invasive devices that use its patented technology for improved clinical diagnostics and that operate in conjunction with surgical and/or evaluation procedures in real time. The Company was incorporated on February 25, 2004 in Nevada and to date has not generated any revenues.

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

At June 30, 2011, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $2,451,999 and anticipates that it will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future in the development and commercialization of its product line. From inception up through the merger, the Company has financed operations solely through short-term loans from a stockholder. In conjunction with the merger between Cascade and SMI in March 2010, additional working capital was obtained through the sale of $850,000 in convertible notes ($787,425 net of expenses) received on March 17, 2010. In May 2011 an additional sale of $100,000 in convertible notes provided net proceeds of $90,000. Absent securing additional working capital, the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that could result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company also faces certain risks and uncertainties which are present in many emerging medical device companies regarding product development, future profitability, ability to obtain future capital, protection of patents and property rights, competition, rapid technological change, government regulations, changing health care marketplace, recruiting and retaining key personnel, and third party manufacturing organizations.

Merger with Spectral Molecular Imaging, Inc.

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), entered into by and between Spectral Molecular Imaging, Inc. (“SMI”), Cascade Technologies Corp., a Wyoming corporation (“Cascade”), and SMI Merger Sub, a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cascade (“Merger Sub”), dated as of March 8, 2010, Merger Sub merged into SMI effective on March 16, 2010, with SMI being the surviving entity (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, SMI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cascade. The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition and the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are those of SMI. As required by accounting guidance, authorized shares, issued and outstanding shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated throughout these condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to reflect Cascade’s capital structure.

Business Segments

The Company’s operations are confined to one business segment: the design and development of medical devices utilizing SMI’s patented technology.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investment with a maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment

Depreciation of property and equipment is provided for by the straight-line method over the five year estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the assets’ useful lives or the remaining term of the lease.

Intangible Assets

Our policy is to protect our intellectual property by licensing or obtaining U.S. and foreign patents to protect technology, inventions, and improvements important to the development of our business. Patents are carried at cost less accumulated amortization which is calculated on a straight-line basis over a period of 15 years.

The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends, and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.

Basis of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and our wholly-owned subsidiary SMI. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has not yet commenced the FDA review process for its products.

Government Research Grants

Government research grants that provide for payments to the Company for work performed are recognized as income when the related expenses are incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes (see also Note 8).

The provision for income taxes includes federal and state income taxes currently payable and deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

With respect to uncertain tax positions, the Company would recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits to be recognized in the financial statements from such a position would be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company’s reassessment of its tax positions did not have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management that affect reported amounts of assets and



8



liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered to be impaired when the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition exceeds its carrying amount. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the net book value of the asset and its estimated fair value.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the period from February 25, 2004 (inception) to June 30, 2011 were as follows.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the Company is required to provide disclosure and categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the assumptions (i.e., inputs) used in the valuation. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined as follows:

 Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,

·

 Level 2 – other significant observable inputs for the assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date,

·

 Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use to price the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The carrying amount of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of such instruments. The fair value of borrowings is not considered to be significantly different than its carry amount because the stated rates for such debt reflect current market rates.

The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model for estimating the fair value of the note conversion feature with the following assumptions: expected remaining life of 5.51 years; risk-free interest rate of 0.20%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected volatility of 260%.

Stock-based compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 “Compensation—Stock Compensation”.

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The number of shares has been retrospectively restated to consider the effect of the stock dividend in March 2010.

3.  Other Assets

Deposits consist of one month’s prepaid rent for the corporate office.

4.  Patents

The Company has a license agreement with Carnegie Mellon University (“Carnegie Mellon”) under which SMI is the exclusive worldwide licensee of certain rights for two patents issued to Carnegie Mellon: U.S. Patent No. 5796512 covers an optical-imaging system with an acousto-optic-tunable filter, and U.S. Patent No. 5841577 covers a light microscope having an acousto-optic-tunable filter. The uses licensed to SMI include spectral imaging for all clinical medical applications, including endoscopy and dermoscopy. The terms of the license agreement require an initial royalty of $400 per unit decreasing $20 per unit each year to a minimum of $200 per unit. The license agreement also provided for the issuance of 2% of SMI’s common stock upon signing in May 2005 and provides for



10



up to a 50% reduction of royalty payments for any amounts payable to third parties in order to utilize the licensed technology.

In addition, SMI owns the rights to U.S. Patent No. 7428048 covering a non-invasive technique for the potential early detection of cancer and other abnormal tissues in the field of imaging-elastic-scattering spectroscopy.

The cost of these patents to date amounted to $19,629, and due to the high uncertainty of future cash flows from these patents and the lack of operating history, the Company recorded impairment charges for the unamortized balance of $19,450 during the period from February 25, 2004 (inception) through December 31, 2008.

5.   Notes Payable

Series 2011 Convertible Note

The Series 2011 convertible note bears interest at the rate of 15% and is due December 31, 2012. The note is convertible at the option of the holder into Common Stock at an conversion price of $0.05 per share, subject to adjustments in the event of stock splits, dividends or the like, and new share issuance. Interest is payable on maturity, or earlier upon conversion, acceleration, or redemption.

The Series 2011 convertible note was sold pursuant to a referral agreement that provided for a cash payment equal to 10% of each note and 2,000,000 common stock warrant exercisable for $0.05 per share for a period of five years for each $100,000 increment of Series 2011 convertible notes. A total of $100,000 in convertible notes were placed pursuant to this referral agreement and, accordingly, the Company paid $10,000 in referral fees and issued 2,000,000 common stock warrants exercisable for $0.05 per share.

Series 2010 Convertible Notes

The Series 2010 convertible notes bear interest at the rate of 0.08% and are due December 31, 2016. The notes are convertible at the option of each holder into Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.182 per share, subject to adjustments in the event of stock splits, dividends or the like, and new share issuance. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement between Cascade and SMI, on April 1, 2010 Cascade effected a share dividend of 2.64 additional shares of Cascade Common Stock for each one outstanding share of Cascade Common Stock (the “Stock Dividend”). The Stock Dividend increased the shares of common stock issued and outstanding from 52,354,223 to approximately 190,569,371 (after giving effect to share roundups). After completing the Stock Dividend the conversion price on the convertible notes adjusted from approximately $0.182 per share to $0.05 per share.

The Series 2010 convertible notes are automatically converted into Common Stock on the first trading day following the date on which all of the following shall have occurred (and, as applicable, be continuing):  

(i)

six months shall have elapsed from the initial issuance of the convertible notes (the “Restricted Period”) and

(ii)

either:

(a)

the closing price of the Common Stock on the principal exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which it is traded shall be $0.25 (after giving effect to the Stock Dividend) or greater for 22 consecutive trading days (with the earliest such testing period commencing after the end of the Restricted Period) during which period the arithmetic mean of the trading volume of shares of Common Stock shall be at least 100,000 per trading day, or

(b)

a transaction shall have been consummated in which not less than $15 million in aggregate amount of Common Stock shall be issued by Cascade for consideration, the fair market value of which is not less than $15 million; provided, in each case that the Common Stock so issued to the Holder may be transferred without limitation as to amount pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to an effective resale registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933.

In October, 2010, $100,000 of Series 2010 convertible notes payable elected to convert their notes to common stock and were issued a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock. In May, 2011, an additional $75,000 of Series 2010 convertible notes payable elected to convert their notes to common stock and were issued a total of 1,500,000 shares of common stock.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Facility lease - The Company has a one year lease commencing November 15, 2009 on its corporate offices with monthly rental of $3,350 for an aggregate annual rent expense of $40,210.

Cash concentration - The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 through December 31, 2013. The company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe that it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

7.   Share Capital

a) Authorized, issued and outstanding

The Company has authorized 750,000,000 common shares, no par value. As of June 30, 2011 there were 209,789,397 common shares were issued and outstanding.

b) Loss per share

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, the weighted average number of basic and diluted common shares outstanding was 199,816,870 and 196,322,546, respectively. For the three month period ended June 30, 2010, the weighted average number of basic and diluted common shares outstanding was 190,578,602 and 202,856,380, respectively. For the six month period ended June 30, 2010, the weighted average number of basic and diluted common shares outstanding was 162,804,098 and 162,804,098, respectively.

8.   Income Taxes

The Company provides deferred income taxes for differences between the tax reporting bases and the financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities. The Company follows the accounting procedures established by FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (formerly SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”

At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no increase or decrease in unrecognized income tax benefits for the preceding periods. There was no accrued interest or penalties relating to tax uncertainties at June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010. Unrecognized tax benefits are not expected to increase or decrease within the next twelve months. Should the Company incur interest and penalties relating to tax uncertainties, such amounts would be classified as a component of interest expense and operating expense, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and California. There are currently no income tax examinations underway for these jurisdictions, although the tax years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006 are all still open for examination.  

The Company does not recognize the deferred income tax asset at this time because the realization of the asset is less likely than not. The components of the Company’s deferred income tax asset are related to loss carryforwards and impairment of intangible assets. A valuation allowance has been recorded for 100% of the deferred tax assets.

The Company is in the process of determining the amount of net operating loss that can be used to offset future taxable income. Such benefits may be limited due to change in ownership.

9.   Related Party Transactions

A principal stockholder has advanced funds to the Company on an as needed basis. The balance due on these advances at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are $22,709 and are payable on demand with no interest.

10. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company's Board of Directors adopted the 2010 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) in June 2010. The Plan provides long-term incentives to employees, members of the Board, and advisers and consultants of the Company who are able to contribute towards the creation of or have created stockholder value by providing them stock options and other stock and cash incentives. Provisions such as vesting repurchase and exercise conditions and limitations are determined by the Board of Directors on the grant date. The total number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the Plan shall not exceed 30,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment in the event of certain recapitalizations, reorganizations, and similar transactions. Generally, shares that are forfeited or canceled from awards under the Plan also will be available for future awards.



12



As of June 30, 2011, 16,200,000 shares of common stock are available for issuance under the Plan.

Stock options

During the six month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company granted 10,000,000 stock options under the Plan to certain employees, directors, and consultants. All of the stock options granted were vested immediately.

During the year ended December 31, 2010 the Company granted 3,800,000 stock options under the Plan to certain employees, directors, and consultants. A total of 2,400,000 of the stock options were vested immediately and the balance vest monthly over a 24 month period.

The exercise price and vesting period of each stock option is specified by the Board of Directors at the time of grant. The stock options expire five years after the grant date.

The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The expected life assumption is based on the expected life assumptions of similar entities. Expected volatility is based on actual share price volatility the preceding twelve months. The risk-free interest rate is the yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an expected term ranging from 2.5 to 5 years used as the input to the Black-Scholes model. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods as options vest, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. During the year ended December 31, 2010 and the six month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company experienced no forfeitures.

As of June 30, 2011 there was $117,340 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.2 years and 1.4 years, respectively.

10.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On May 5, 2011, the Company announced that it issued a total of 9,500,000 shares of common stock pursuant to an agreement with members of the Law Offices of Aaron A. Grunfeld & Associate (“Grunfeld”), the Company’s legal counsel. The issuance of shares was in consideration of the reduction in the outstanding balance due Grunfeld by $15,365 to $70,000, deferral of payment of this balance until August 1, 2011, and a deferred retainer agreement that assures the Company of ongoing legal representation without payment until July 15, 2011.

The agreement provides that the deferral of payment of the outstanding balance is to be accelerated on the date the Company has obtained an aggregate of debt and/or equity financing gross proceeds of at least $600,000, or by payment of 7.5% of any revenue or other funds obtained by the Company prior to August 1, 2011.

The agreement provides for a monthly retainer payment of $4,500 for up to 12 hours of services and that additional services will be billed at a rate of $425 per hour. No payments are required under this agreement until July 15, 2011.

Of the 9,500,000 shares of common stock issued to Grunfeld, a total of 2,701,000 can be repurchased by the Company for $145,000. This option to reacquire the shares is only exercisable upon the resignation of certain members of Grunfeld as legal counsel for the Company and is subject to reduction for each month of services provided by Grunfeld. Commencing June 1, 2011 and continuing on the first day of the following 16 months, the number of shares that may be repurchased and the cost of reacquiring the shares are reduced by 858,824 and $8,529, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, no shares have been repurchased by the Company pursuant to this option.

12.  New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU No. 2010-06, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements". This guidance requires new disclosures related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires disclosure of transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers and information on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured under Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. The adoption of this guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. We have adopted this guidance in the financial statements presented herein, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The unaudited financial statements of Cascade Technologies Corp. (“Cascade”, or the “Company”), a development stage company, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. However, the information included in these interim financial statements reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year. The balance sheet information as of December 31, 2010 was derived from the audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10K filed March 11, 2011. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained herein, including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions as described in “Risk Factors” in our 10K filed March 11, 2011.

Other sections of this report may include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Readers are cautioned that the foregoing lists of factors are not exhaustive. The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q are made as of the date hereof and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws. The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

Overview

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), entered into by and between Spectral Molecular Imaging, Inc. (“SMI”), Cascade Technologies Corp., a Wyoming corporation (“Cascade”), and SMI Merger Sub, a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cascade (“Merger Sub”), dated as of March 8, 2010, Merger Sub merged into SMI effective on March 16, 2010, with SMI being the surviving entity (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, SMI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cascade. The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition and the accompanying financial statements are those of SMI.

Prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, there were 163,950,000 shares of Cascade Common Stock issued and outstanding. In connection with the closing of the Merger:

·

The Company completed a private placement of $850,000 in principal amount of convertible notes;

·

The Company caused to be canceled promptly after the closing of the Merger an aggregate of 143,340,051 shares of Common Stock held by their pre-closing principal stockholder, who was also an officer and director of Cascade, for no cash consideration for the purpose of making Cascade’s capitalization more attractive to future equity investors; and

·

The Company effected a share dividend of 2.64 additional shares of Cascade Common Stock for each one outstanding share of Cascade Common Stock (the “Stock Dividend”). The Stock Dividend resulted in the shares of common stock issued and outstanding to increase from 52,354,223 to approximately 190,569,371



14



(after giving effect to share roundups). After giving effect to the Stock Dividend, the conversion price on our convertible notes adjusted from approximately $0.18 per share to $0.05 per share.

Cascade is a development-stage, medical imaging device company. All medical device operation are being conducted by Cascade’s wholly owned subsidiary, Spectral Molecular Imaging, Inc. (“SMI”). Application of SMI’s proprietary spectral-optical-imaging technology—originally developed for satellite reconnaissance—is expected by management to advance early diagnoses of cancer and precancerous conditions, in vivo. SMI is developing non-invasive devices that use its patented technology for improved clinical diagnostics and that operate in conjunction with surgical and/or evaluation procedures in real time. SMI’s technology, still in development, is expected to enable early detection and more reliable diagnosis of various diseases, such as Barrett’s esophagus (a condition caused by chronic acid reflux that can lead to esophageal cancer), lung cancer, and melanoma. SMI believes that development of its technology may significantly improve long-term patient outcomes while substantially reducing overall costs for the healthcare system. The Company was incorporated on February 25, 2004 in Nevada and to date has not generated any revenues.

Results of Operations

The loss from operations was $(1,324,634) and $(2,951,831) for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in the loss in 2011 compared to 2010 is principally due to the reduction in interest expense by $4,404,269 as discussed below. This amount was offset by a $218,582 increase in salary and other compensation expenses principally due to the Chief Executive Officer not becoming an employee until July 2010; a $162,482 increase in professional fees principally related to fund raising activity; and a $77,178 decrease in other operating expenses principally due to reduced levels of research and development activity in 2011.

Grant income of $65,321for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 was pursuant to a phase II SBIR award from the National Cancer Institute shared jointly with Omega Optical, Inc.

Interest expense was $132,217 and $4,536,486 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Interest expense for 2011 includes $111,698 of amortization of note discount and $12,644 of amortization of deferred debt issuance costs. Interest expense for 2010 includes $36,832 of amortization of note discount, $2,618 of amortization of deferred debt issuance costs and a charge of $4,493,960 related to the accrual of a $5,343,960 derivative liability due to the conversion feature on the notes payable.

The change in value of derivative liability represents the reduction of the fair value of the derivative liability at period end.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2011, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $2,451,999 and anticipates that it will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future in the development and commercialization of its product line. From inception up through the merger, the Company has financed operations solely through short-term loans from a stockholder. In conjunction with the merger between Cascade and SMI in March 2010, additional working capital was obtained through the sale of $850,000 in convertible notes ($787,425 net of expenses) received on March 17, 2010. In May 2011 an additional sale of $100,000 in convertible notes provided net proceeds of $90,000. The proceeds from these notes are expected to permit the Company to fund its anticipated levels of operations through the third quarter of 2011. Absent securing additional working capital, the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that could result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company also faces certain risks and uncertainties which are present in many emerging medical device companies regarding product development, future profitability, ability to obtain future capital, protection of patents and property rights, competition, rapid technological change, government regulations, changing health care marketplace, recruiting and retaining key personnel, and third party manufacturing organizations.

Cash flow used in operations Cash utilized by operating activities was $93,657 for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. The use of cash was principally attributable to the net loss for the period of $1,324,634, reduced by depreciation of $7,548, deferred issuance cost amortization of $12,644, amortization of note discount of $111,698, stock based compensation of $339,234, common shares issued for services of $306,000, a $173,573 increase in the



15



valuation of derivative liability, a decrease in grant proceeds receivable of $155,822, and a increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $112,856, which did not utilize or generate cash.

Cash utilized by operating activities was $167,684 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The use of cash was principally attributable to the net loss from operations for the period of $2,951,831, reduced by depreciation of $2,062, deferred issuance cost amortization of $3,738, repayment of advances from stockholder of $10,954, excess value of derivative liability over related loan proceeds of $4,493,960, amortization of note discount of $36,832, stock based compensation of $573,283, a $2,359,221 decrease in the valuation of derivative liability and an increase in accounts payable of $44,447 which did not utilize cash.

Cash flow used in investing activities Cash used in investing activities was $0 and $23,878 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The 2010 balance represent purchases of equipment.

Cash flow provided by financing activities Cash provided by financing activities was $90,000 and $787,425 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Amounts for both periods represent the net proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes.
