Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Un-audited)
 
1. Nature of Operations
 
Univec, Inc. (Company) produces, licenses and markets medical products primarily syringes and specialty pharmaceutical drugs. Physician and Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (PPSI), a subsidiary, provides pharmaceutical samples and group purchasing services of pharmaceutical products. Thermal Waste Technologies, Inc. (TWT), a subsidiary until its sale in August 2004, marketed a medical waste disposal unit.
 
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Financial Statements
 
The accompanying un-audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been included. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Univec, Inc., together with the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis, included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
 
Net Loss Per Share
 
Basic net loss per share was computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the six and three month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. Dilutive net loss per share has not been presented because it was anti-dilutive.
 
Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

As illustrated in the table above, overall revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2006 increased by $9,491 (142%) as compared to the comparable period ended September 30, 2005. However, revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 decreased by $61,892 (79%) as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2005.Product sales alone accounted for all of these decreases. Sales within Univec, Inc. comprised all of the total sales for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006. PPSI has experienced a complete reduction in sales to its principal Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) customer. This sales depletion will continue to have a detrimental effect on Company operations for the impending future period. The Company management has decided to concentrate resources on the distribution sector having direct control of product purchases and distribution that management feels will have greater gross margin opportunity although gross revenue will be maintained at present levels. Management feels that this model will allow a direct relationship with the end purchaser and not be dependent on an intermediary.

The Company will endeavor to replace declining revenues by placing increased product sales in the direct marketplace and by expanding its higher gross profit atypical product sales.
 
The Company will focus on the marketing, production, development and distribution of its pharmaceutical and proprietary products and licensing of the technology of its insulin and tuberculin sliding sheath safety syringes.

Physician and Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (PPSI) is a Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) and formulary management company. Group purchasing allows companies to get better prices by combining purchasing power. It is also important that the products being purchased are appropriate for the drug formulary that is approved.

Gross margin for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 decreased to $2,808 from $10,452, and to $6,229 from $72,372, respectively, as compared to the comparable periods ended September 30, 2005. The reduced gross margin is primarily due to the lower gross margin contribution from lower sales volume of our pharmaceutical drugs and syringes. We anticipate gross margin levels to remain at these decreased levels due to the GPO’s principal customer’s commercial activity decline.
 
Marketing and selling costs for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 decreased by $67,952 (91%) and $213,638 (92%), respectively as compared to the comparable periods ended September 30, 2005. This decrease is primarily due to decreases in overall sales volume.

There were very minimal product development expenses incurred for three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the comparable periods ended September 30, 2005. These decreases were the result of negligible expenditures for patent legal costs and product testing expense.

General and administrative expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2006 increased $229,856 (81%) as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2005. This increase is due primarily to increases in insurance, legal and professional fees, financial funding commissions and securities maintenance expenses. However, during the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the comparable period ended September 30, 2005 general and administrative expenses decreased $327,114 (32%) primarily as a result of decreases in payroll and travel expenses.

Interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 decreased by $41,567 (57%) and $47,550 (33%), respectively, as compared to the similar periods ended September 30, 2005, primarily as a result increased debt outstanding during 2006.

Net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2006 increased by $127,981 (30%) as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to the $229,856 (81%) increase, as discussed above, in general and administrative expenses. However, the $327,114 reduction in general and administrative expenses when combined with the $213,638 reduction in marketing and selling expenses during the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the comparable period ended September 30, 2005 are the primary reasons for the resulting $525,385 reduction in the net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
 The working capital deficit of $5,072,075 at December 31, 2005, was decreased to a deficit of $4,429,309 (12%) at September 30, 2006 primarily because of a $1,345,000 long-term debt refinancing from current debt during the quarter ended September 30, 2006. However, a year-to-date net loss of $793,380 through September 30, 2006 did restrict the liquidity improvement realized in the refinancing arrangement.
 
Operating activities used net cash of $246,049 (120%) more during the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 from the comparable period in 2005, primarily due to the net loss incurred and by decreases in accounts receivable, depreciation and amortization expense which was offset in part by increases in accounts payable and deferred payroll.
 
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $22,042 primarily as a result of not expending $13,500 for the purchases of fixed asset equipment during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $319,363 (159%) to $519,686 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This increase resulted from an aggregate $404,363 increase in borrowing activity which was offset by an $85,000 decrease in proceeds from the sale of Company stock during the comparable nine month period ended September 30, 2005.
 
As a result of these actions, Univec’s management anticipates that operations will generate a negative cash flow during our fiscal year.

The relatively low trading price and volume of our common shares hampers our ability to raise equity capital. There is no assurance that any such equity financing will be available to the Company or on terms we deem favorable. Management will continue its efforts to obtain debt and/or equity financing.
 
 
-10-

 
Significant Estimates
 
Univec’s business plan upon acquiring PPSI was to fully utilize its distribution capabilities to increase sales and profitability. A shortage of cash flow has slowed the effectiveness of the plan. Management has reviewed the carrying amount of goodwill and fixed assets, considering their fair value based on anticipated future undiscounted cash flows and appraisals of the equipment
 
We have also reviewed the carrying value of both our accounts receivable and inventory. Based on both our anticipated future undiscounted cash flows and recent financings, no impairment is required.
