UNIVEC, Inc. and Subsidiaries
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.
 
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 March 31, 2007. 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 three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. 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.
 
3. Debt Repayment
 
During the three month period ended March 31, 2007, the Company did not repay or borrow any additional outstanding debt.
 
4. Financing Agreement

On July 31, 2006 the Company completed the private placement of a $2,000,000 6% Note Warrants Securities Purchase Agreement. The Agreement allows the investor to purchase 10,000,000 common stock warrants for seven years at an exercise price of $0.02 each. The Note and Warrants were issued in reliance upon exemptions from regulation pursuant to section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereto. Each of the Investors is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB.
 
Safe Harbor Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 relating to future events or our future performance. Actual results may materially differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and uncertainties set forth in this prospectus. Although management believes that the assumptions made and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there is no assurance that the underlying assumptions will, in fact, prove to be correct or that actual results will not be different from expectations expressed in this report.

As illustrated in the table above, overall revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 decreased by $6,404 (89%) as compared to the comparable period ended March 31, 2006. Product sales alone accounted for all of these decreases. Sales within Univec, Inc. comprised all of the total sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2007. PPSI has experienced a complete reduction in sales to its principal Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) customer.

5

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 from product sales.
 
The Company will focus on the marketing, 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.

We anticipate gross margin levels to remain at these decreased levels due to the GPO’s principal customers’ commercial activity decline.
 
Marketing and selling costs for the three period ended March 31, 2007 decreased by $12,297 (100%) as compared to the comparable period ended March 31, 2006. This decrease is primarily due to decreases in overall sales volume.

There were very minimal product development expenses incurred for three month period ended March 31, 2007 and also for the comparable period ended March 31, 2006. 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 March 31, 2007 decreased $93,044 (68%) as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2006. This decrease is due primarily to decreases in payroll, rent, insurance, legal and professional fees and securities maintenance expenses.
 
Interest expense for the three period ended March 31, 2007 decreased by $5,352 (15%) as compared to the similar period ended March 31, 2006. primarily as a result decreased debt outstanding during 2007.

Net loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 decreased by $109,430 (60%) as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2006 primarily due to the $93,044 (68%) decrease, as discussed above, in general and administrative expenses.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The working capital deficit of $4,745,422 at December 31, 2006, was increased to a deficit of $4,792,145 (12%) at March 31 2007 primarily because of the $73,141 net loss incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
 
Operating activities used $8,239 (99%) less net cash during the three month period ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the comparable period in 2006, primarily due to the decreased net loss incurred which was offset in part by reduced increases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued payroll.
 
There was no cash provided by / (used in) investing activities during the three nine months ended March 31, 2007.
 
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.

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 and recognized appropriate write-offs during the periods prior to the quarter ended March 31, 2007, 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 additional impairment is required to be recognized.  
 
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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).
 
Item 3.     Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of March 31, 2007. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that our disclosure and controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
