INTRODUCTORY NOTE
REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain 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 and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. These forward-looking statements, which may
be identified by words including anticipates, believes, intends, estimates, expects, and similar expressions include, but are not limited to, statements regarding (i) future research
plans, expenditures and results, (ii) potential collaborative arrangements, (iii) the potential utility of our proposed products and (iv) the need for, and availability of, additional financing.

The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking
statements are based on assumptions regarding our business and technology, which involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future scientific, economic and competitive conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult
or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the
forward-looking statements. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as representation by us or any other person that our
objectives or plans will be achieved. We do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to update any forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any statements to reflect new information or future
events or developments.

PART I

Item 1. Business

Our primary focus is to develop
novel drug-like compounds that positively modulate AMPA-type glutamate receptors, a complex of proteins involved in the communication between nerve cells in the mammalian brain. These compounds, termed AMPAKINE® compounds, enhance the activity of the AMPA receptor. We are designing and developing these molecules as proprietary pharmaceuticals because we believe they hold promise for correcting
neurological and psychiatric diseases and disorders that are known, or thought, to involve depressed functioning of pathways in the brain that use glutamate as a neurotransmitter.

The AMPAKINE platform addresses large potential markets. According to research data from IMS Health, in 2005 worldwide sales for central
nervous system products to treat brain-related disorders and diseases exceeded $74 billion. Our business plan involves partnering with larger pharmaceutical companies for research, development, clinical testing, manufacturing and global marketing of
specific AMPAKINE compounds for those indications that require sizable, expensive Phase III clinical trials  and very large sales forces to achieve significant market penetration. Diseases such as Alzheimers disease, mild
cognitive impairment (MCI), Parkinsons disease, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), schizophrenia, depression and others may benefit from treatment with AMPAKINE drugs and require such larger
distribution. At the same time, we plan to develop compounds internally for a selected set of indications, many of which will allow us to apply for Orphan Drug status. Such designation by the Food and Drug Administration (the
FDA) is usually applied to products where the number of patients in the United States (U.S.) in the given disease category is usually less than 200,000. These

Orphan Drug indications typically require more modest investment in the development stages, follow a quicker regulatory path to approval, and involve a more
concentrated and smaller sales force targeted at selected medical centers in the U.S. The key indications that we plan to pursue internally include (a) restoration of memory and diminution of loss of memory due to electroconvulsive therapy,
(b) excessive daytime sleepiness due to narcolepsy, sleep apnea and shift work, (c) Huntingtons disease, (d) Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, (e) Fragile X syndrome and (f) Retts syndrome.

We may also pursue other Orphan Drug indications and upon any related approval, may expand our clinical potential into non-Orphan Drug indications. As an
example, if we obtain approval for an indication related to Fragile X syndrome, expansion into treatment of autism may follow. While the market potential in the U.S. for most of the listed Orphan Drug indications varies between $200 million and $400
million per indication, Cortex estimates that the consolidated potential for all indications that we may pursue, including expansion into non-Orphan Drug indications, provides us with a market potential of over $3 billion. This amount does not
include any revenues from any potential license of the Companys intellectual property. We will continue to seek one or more significant license or collaboration arrangements with larger pharmaceutical companies, while we prepare ourselves for
potential entrance into the pharmaceutical market with our own products. These arrangements may permit other applications of the AMPAKINE compounds to be advanced into later stages of clinical development and may provide access to the
extensive clinical trials management, manufacturing and marketing expertise of such companies.

In January 1999, we entered into a research
collaboration and exclusive worldwide license agreement with NV Organon (Organon), a subsidiary of Akzo Nobel. The agreement grants Organon worldwide rights to develop and commercialize our AMPAKINE technology for the
treatment of schizophrenia and depression. In October 2000, we entered into a research collaboration agreement and a license agreement with Les Laboratoires Servier (Servier). The license agreement, as amended to date, will allow Servier
to develop and commercialize select AMPAKINE compounds in defined territories of Europe, Asia, the Middle East and certain South American countries as a treatment for (i) declines in cognitive performance associated with aging,
(ii) neurodegenerative diseases and (iii) anxiety disorders. The indications covered include, but are not limited to, Alzheimers disease, MCI, sexual dysfunction and anxiety disorders. The research collaborations with these partners
have ended, but we remain eligible for milestone payments based upon the clinical development of the licensed compounds by these partners, as well as royalties based upon potential commercialization under our licenses.

In early March 2006, we announced positive statistical and clinical results with our AMPAKINE CX717 in a Phase IIa clinical study in
adults with ADHD. The primary outcome measure for the study was the ADHD Rating Scale, which evaluates both inattentiveness and hyperactivity symptoms. Our clinical trial with CX717 showed statistical significance in both of these symptoms. In late
March 2006, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) placed a clinical hold on CX717 related to concerns over some preclinical animal data. In early September 2006, we submitted a response to the FDA, who removed the clinical hold on CX717
in early October 2006, but stipulated a limited dose range for further clinical testing of the compound. That dose limitation impacts our ability to conduct further clinical studies in ADHD. We have additional toxicological data which indicates that
the cellular effects originally interpreted as toxicity occur postmortem and are directly related to the interaction of the cells as they die with the fixative used to prepare tissue samples for analysis. We plan to submit the data to the FDA in
March 2007 to determine if the new information supports clinical investigations at dosage levels that would allow us to proceed with further clinical development of CX717 in ADHD.

For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, our research and development expenses were approximately $13,262,000, $11,361,000 and
$8,386,000, respectively. For the six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, our research and development expenses were approximately $5,010,000 and $2,929,000, respectively. For the year ended June 30, 2004, our research and
development expenses were approximately $6,305,000. Expenses for the current year period include costs for toxicological testing required in response to the earlier clinical hold imposed on CX717 by the FDA at the end of March 2006. Most of these
expenses have been incurred as of December 31, 2006.

AMPA Receptor Modulator Program

In June 1993, we licensed a new class of molecules and technology  the AMPAKINE technology  from the University of California. We have subsequently been working to develop and patent new
AMPAKINE molecules and to demonstrate efficacy and safety in a number of potential indications.

AMPAKINE
compounds facilitate the activity of the AMPA receptor, which is activated by the neurotransmitter glutamate. The AMPAKINE compounds interact in a highly specific manner with the AMPA receptor, lowering the amount of neurotransmitter
required to generate a response, and increasing the magnitude and/or duration of the response to any given amount of glutamate. We believe that this selective amplification of the normal glutamate signal may eventually find utility in the treatment
of neurological and psychological diseases and disorders characterized by depressed functioning of brain pathways.

Our
AMPAKINE technology is composed of two groups of compounds that we have designated as low impact and high impact. Compounds from these two groups bind at different sites on the AMPA receptor complex and affect
the response in different ways. Both types of compounds positively modulate the AMPA receptor function; low impact compounds increase the amplitude of the neuronal action potential, while the high impact compounds increase both the amplitude and the
half-width of the neuronal action potential. Additionally, there is evidence that the high impact compounds activate the expression of certain genes in the neuron, including neurotrophins such as Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF).
BDNF mediates the differentiation and survival of neurons by providing the necessary trophic support, and modulates synaptic transmission and plasticity. We believe that this action of AMPAKINE molecules imparts these compounds with
the potential for disease modifying activity, since deficits in BDNF have been observed in psychiatric diseases such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD, and neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimers disease, Huntingtons disease,
Parkinsons disease, and Fragile X.

The vast majority of excitatory synaptic connections in the brain utilize glutamate, and those
synaptic connections decline with age. Thus, brain disorders associated with aging may be amenable to

treatment with AMPAKINE compounds. Such disorders include MCI, Alzheimers disease and Parkinsons disease. Schizophrenia,
depression and other psychiatric disorders may involve imbalances of neurotransmitters in the brain, such as dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine and norepinephrine. Given that glutamate modulates many of these other neurotransmitters, it may play a
role in the rebalancing of neurotransmission. AMPAKINE compounds may provide a new approach to treat both neurological and psychiatric disorders by directly modulating the AMPA receptor to enhance the release of glutamate. A study
with AMPAKINE compounds in patients with schizophrenia indicated improvement in a number of symptoms also common to patients with ADHD. We and our collaborators have obtained other encouraging preliminary results in animal models of
sleep deprivation, Fragile X syndrome, depression, libido and stroke.

See Risk Factors  Risks related to our business We are at an early stage of development and we may not be able to successfully develop and commercialize our products and technologies on page 20 for a discussion of certain risks related to the development and
commercialization of our products, including, without limitation, risks related to its clinical trials.

Lead Development Candidate 
AMPAKINE CX717

One of the most compelling animal studies conducted with the AMPAKINE CX717 involves a
model that examines the effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance in non-human primates. As reported by Wake Forest University School of Medicine in the September 2005 publication of the Public Library of Sciences 
Biology, the model utilizes a colony of rhesus macaque monkeys. The monkeys are trained to use a cursor to respond to computer images and carry out simple memory tasks. When the monkeys get a correct answer, they are rewarded with a squirt of
juice.

The monkeys are trained to respond at a high overall level of performance. Under carefully controlled conditions and constant
monitoring, the monkeys were then individually sleep deprived for between 30 and 36 hours, and then re-tested in the task. When the monkeys were sleep deprived, their performance accuracy on the task was reduced by 15% to 25%, and their reaction
times slowed by at least 50%.

At single doses of 0.8 mg/kg to 1.5 mg/kg, CX717 completely reversed the performance deficits associated
with sleep deprivation. Additionally, in those monkeys given CX717, specific brain positron emission tomography (PET) changes that occur after sleep deprivation were returned to the non sleep deprived state.

Based upon these results, and extensive required safety testing in rats, dogs and monkeys, we completed a series of Phase I clinical studies of CX717 in
the United Kingdom. The studies were conducted with the assistance of Quintiles  Guys Drug Research Unit, a large and well-respected clinical research organization. All of the Phase I safety trials were completed by early 2005 and
provided evidence of safety for doses of up to 1,600 mg of CX717 in single doses and up to 800 mg of the drug given twice daily for ten (10) days in 104 human subjects.

The pharmacokinetic results to date from the 104 volunteers who have taken CX717 in these Phase I studies show that the half life of the drug averages
over 9 hours and the amount of drug absorbed over the range of 25 mg to 1600 mg was linear and predictable. Very high plasma drug levels were found in the volunteers, indicating an excellent absorption profile for the drug. In summary, we found the
drug to have an excellent safety profile, seemingly well absorbed and linear kinetics over a large range of doses in normal volunteers. The doses administered to the normal volunteers were up to 16 times greater than those needed to produce efficacy
results in the primates. If the clinical efficacy in humans can be demonstrated over the same dosage ranges as has been found in non-human primates, the potential for once a day dosing seems feasible.

##### Table of Contents

We also have completed a Phase IIa pilot efficacy trial in sleep deprivation that was conducted in the
United Kingdom. The study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of CX717 in ameliorating the sleepiness and temporary cognitive impairment induced by overnight sleep deprivation. The study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled,
four-way crossover trial of 16 male volunteers. Doses tested were 100 mg, 300 mg, and 1,000 mg of CX717 as well as placebo. The main outcome measures were the maintenance of wakefulness test (MWT), polysomnography during a recovery sleep
phase, and cognitive performance testing during the sleep deprivation portion. The primary finding, derived from results on the MWT and polysomnography, was that CX717 enhanced alertness in a dose-dependent manner. The study also demonstrated
preliminary evidence that CX717 may improve some cognitive performance measures. The improvements in cognitive function with CX717 were best illustrated in the subjects who suffered a decline in their cognition as a result of the sleep deprivation.
There were no serious adverse events or clinically significant safety issues in the study. All doses of CX717 were well tolerated. Mild headache was the most common adverse event.

Additionally, we completed two separate three-month toxicology studies for CX717, one with a rodent species and one with a non-rodent species, as
required by the guidelines of the FDA. Each study examined the effects of very high (toxicological) daily doses of CX717 for ninety consecutive days. Each study included extra animals to assess whether any observed toxicological effects were
reversible once dosing was stopped. We also initiated reproductive toxicology studies of CX717 that are necessary to include women of childbearing potential in future Phase IIb studies.

We subsequently initiated three different Phase IIa studies to evaluate the efficacy of CX717 in (a) the treatment of ADHD in adult patients,
(b) the effect on adult male subjects in a shift work paradigm funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and (c) a positron emission tomography (PET) scan analysis of the drug in
Alzheimers disease patients. Results of the ADHD study were announced in early March 2006, as described more fully below. In late March 2006, the FDA notified us that it had placed a clinical hold on CX717. The hold resulted from concerns
related to preclinical animal data and not from any human clinical trials. In early September 2006, we submitted our complete response to the FDA and the hold was lifted in early October 2006. In agreeing to removal of the hold, we committed to an
FDA specified dose range for CX717. The dose limitations delayed further planned clinical studies with CX717 in ADHD. We have generated substantial data from additional toxicology studies over the past several months that demonstrate that the
toxicological issues previously identified seem to occur postmortem and are directly related to the fixative interaction with the cells as they die.

We are currently compiling those results and we expect to submit them to the FDA in March 2007 in support of our request to allow us to increase our dosage levels of CX717 so that we can continue the development of
the compound for ADHD.

Results from the Phase IIa shift work paradigm are discussed below. Enrollment in the Phase IIa study initiated in
Alzheimers disease has not been completed.

Potential Applications for AMPAKINE Compounds

ADHD

ADHD is a common psychiatric disorder in
both children and adults. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) estimates that ADHD affects three to five percent of school-age children, with about one child in every classroom in the U.S. in need of help for this disorder.
ADHD is characterized by inattentiveness, poor impulse control and hyperactivity. The disorder was historically thought of as a childhood illness. Longitudinal studies however have documented the persistence of symptoms into adulthood in a large
percentage of childhood sufferers. The prevalence of ADHD is estimated at 2% to 4% of adults. ADHD exacts a significant toll on social relationships, education, and vocational attainment. Relative to those without the disorder, adults with ADHD tend
to have higher rates of divorce, lower grade point averages in school, lower graduation rates, lower socioeconomic status, and more frequent problems with unemployment.

Psychostimulants, including amphetamine and methylphenidate, represent the most widely researched and commonly prescribed treatments for the disorder. Because of the availability and frequent prescribing of
psychostimulants, concerns over their potential overuse and abuse have intensified. Along with the abuse potential, treatments with psychostimulants may result in side effects. According to the National Institutes of Health, some children on these
medications may lose weight, have less appetite and temporarily grow more slowly. Others may experience problems falling asleep. Given the lack of consistent improvement beyond the disorders core symptoms and the deficit of long-term studies,
the need remains for additional testing with medications and behavioral treatments.

We believe that AMPAKINE compounds may
represent a novel, non-stimulant approach for treating ADHD patients, but until the development of CX717, we have lacked an AMPAKINE compound with the appropriate potency and duration of activity to treat ADHD. Given the impressive
behavioral improvement in attention and performance in primate studies with CX717 and of the longer acting AMPAKINE compounds, we undertook a pilot trial in adults with ADHD.

In early March 2006, we reported preliminary results from our lead AMPAKINE drug, CX717, which showed positive results in the treatment of
adults with ADHD. Forty-nine patients with ADHD completed the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-way crossover design study performed at seven U.S. sites. We undertook this Phase IIa clinical trial to assess both the dose of drug
required and the effectiveness of CX717 in an adult ADHD population. The primary outcome measure was the ADHD Rating Scale (ADHD-RS) which evaluates both the inattentiveness and hyperactivity symptoms. The overall ADHD-RS score showed positive
statistical changes in the ADHD-RS scores (p<0.002) in the 800 mg twice daily dose group of 22 patients and also statistically significant effects on the hyperactivity subscale (p<0.01) and the inattentiveness subscale (p<0.03) compared to
placebo. The 200 mg twice daily dose, tested in a group of 27 patients, did not show a significant effect. CX717 was well tolerated, and there were no serious adverse events or other significant safety concerns with either dose.

Each subject received placebo during one treatment and either CX717 200 mg twice daily or CX717 800 mg twice daily in the other treatment period. Each
treatment period was three weeks with a two-week washout in between. Sixty-eight subjects were randomized of whom 65 took either CX717 or placebo. Of those 65, 49 completed all assessments in both treatment periods. Most subjects who withdrew did so
for non-treatment related reasons.

As indicated above, we were notified in late March 2006 that the FDA was placing CX717 on clinical hold
due to concerns related to some preclinical animal data. After submitting a response to the agency in September 2006, the clinical hold was lifted in October 2006, but the FDA limited the approved dosage levels of the compound. Those dosing
limitations impacted our plans to conduct further testing of CX717 as a treatment for ADHD. We plan to submit results from our additional toxicology studies to the

FDA in March 2007. Our objective is that the data from these additional studies will support clinical trials at increased dose levels of CX717 and thereby
convince the FDA to allow us to continue further testing of the compound in patients with ADHD.

Alzheimers Disease

Impairment of memory and cognition is a significant health care problem that is growing as the elderly population continues to increase. Dementia can be
diagnosed in those individuals who develop persistent memory and cognitive deficits as well as in those who suffer from difficulties in their social, occupational and other activities of daily living. With advanced dementia, many elderly individuals
become confined to nursing homes because of psychological disorientation and profound functional difficulties. Pharmaceuticals to alleviate deficits in memory and cognition could potentially enable elderly individuals with dementia to regain some
functional abilities that may help them remain independent longer, resulting in improved quality of life and substantial savings in health care costs.

Alzheimers disease is the most common form of dementia, currently afflicting some 4 million people in the U.S. and 12 million people worldwide. With the aging of our population, unless a treatment is
found, the number of people in the U.S. with the disease is expected to reach 14 million by the middle of this century. According to the Alzheimers Association, the U.S. society spends at least $100 billion a year on Alzheimers
disease at an average lifetime cost per patient of $174,000. Neither Medicare nor most private health insurance covers the long-term care more patients need. The impact of an effective treatment, even a symptomatic one, would be enormous.

It is in the early and middle stages of Alzheimers disease that we believe AMPAKINE molecules may play a valuable
role, enhancing the effectiveness of the brain cells that have not yet succumbed to the disease. This enhancement may help to alleviate the memory and cognitive deficits that constitute the major symptoms of Alzheimers disease.

There is also a possibility that treatment with high impact AMPAKINE compounds may slow the progression of Alzheimers disease. Brain
cells, or neurons, require continued input from other brain cells to remain alive. As neurons die, other neurons begin to lose their inputs, hastening their own death. AMPAKINE compounds may slow the rate at which functional levels of
input from other neurons are lost. In animal models, selected AMPAKINE compounds have been shown to increase the production of BDNF, which is a protein associated with the formation of synapses by neurons. This possible mode of action
also may prove beneficial to patients with Alzheimers disease, although it has not been demonstrated whether the same mechanism may produce similar results in humans.

Day-Time Sleepiness Disorders

Sleep disorders represent a broad range of illnesses arising
from many causes, including abnormalities in physiological functions during sleep, abnormalities of the biological clock and sleep disturbances that are induced by factors outside of the sleep process. According to the National Sleep Foundation,
over the past century, society has reduced its average asleep time by 20 percent and, in the past 25 years, added a month to its average annual work/commute time. When the body is deprived of the sleep that it needs, the ability to concentrate or
perform even simple tasks declines, and productivity suffers. Cortex believes that AMPAKINE compounds may be useful in treating day-time sleepiness resulting from narcolepsy, shift work and obstructive sleep apnea among other
potential causes.

Narcolepsy is the classic example of a disorder causing excessive daytime sleepiness. It is a disabling neurological
disorder that affects approximately 50,000 people in the U.S. The key features of narcolepsy are excessive daytime sleepiness, disrupted nighttime sleep and periodic irresistible sleep attacks of sudden onset and brief duration. The number and
severity of symptoms vary widely among individuals with the disorder, with symptoms generally beginning between the ages of 15 and 30. There is currently no cure for narcolepsy although many of the symptoms can be controlled with behavioral and
medical therapy.

##### Table of Contents

Narcolepsy represents an Orphan Drug indication that would reduce both our cost and time to market for a
potential therapeutic agent. The potential of using AMPAKINE compounds for treatment of narcolepsy comes from work done in a monkey model of sleep deprivation. In these monkey studies, CX717 and other AMPAKINE compounds
were able to reverse the deficits that sleep deprivation caused in the ability of the monkeys to accurately perform a challenging cognitive performance task. The results in the monkey model were supported by our results with CX717 in a human sleep
deprivation model.

In June 2004, we announced that Dr. Sam Deadwyler, Professor and Vice Chairman, Department of Physiology and
Pharmacology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine has received a grant of approximately $5,100,000 from DARPA to continue his research at Wake Forest University on the effects of sleep deprivation in primates, including the effects of CX717
and other AMPAKINE compounds.

In June 2006, results from a simulated night shift work study with CX717 were presented at
the Sleep 2006 meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah. Dr. Thomas Balkin, Chief, Department of Behavioral Biology, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR), presented the top-line findings from the study conducted at WRAIR and funded
by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The study assessed the effect of CX717 on cognitive performance and alertness across four nights of simulated night shift work and restricted daytime sleep. The study was a
randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study in healthy young adult male volunteers. Fifty (50) subjects were assigned to one of three CX717 dose groups or placebo. Study medication was taken once per evening for four
days. Each night subjects were assessed on a variety of cognitive parameters and tests of alertness in a protocol designed to simulate night shift work. The subjects daytime sleep was restricted to four hours per day to mimic operational
conditions involving chronic, restricted sleep.

The primary finding from the study was that CX717 did not enhance cognitive performance
relative to treatment with placebo. However, similar to the observations in the Phase IIa UK sleep deprivation study, CX717 did alter the recovery sleep architecture as measured by EEG polysomnography in a dose-related manner. The 1000 mg dose of
CX717 statistically (p < 0.05) reduced the amount of slow wave sleep during each of the four recovery sleep periods and increased (p < 0.05) the minutes of wake time after sleep onset during two of the four recovery sleep periods. CX717 was
well tolerated, and no serious adverse events or other significant safety concerns were observed.

At the same meeting, additional
presentations were made detailing the positive findings from the sleep deprivation study performed at the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom, including the primary results from the study and new data using spectral EEG polysomnography to
evaluate the effect of CX717 on the recovery sleep period during the study. In support of the key study findings, the spectral EEG analysis indicated that CX717 increased the level of arousal during recovery sleep.

Differences in study design and the implementation of certain study procedures may have contributed to some of the divergent results between the shift
work simulation study and the UK study.

Our licensing discussions have focused on ADHD, Alzheimers disease, and other
neurodegenerative disorders. The top-line findings from the DARPA-sponsored study do not have a direct impact on the potential of CX717 in those disorders. Our strategy always has been to retain the sleep deprivation uses as well as Orphan Drug uses
of the low impact AMPAKINE drugs for our internal development program. We do not anticipate that future partnering discussions would include sleep disorder indications and believe that such discussions are unlikely to be affected by
the shift work study findings.

Depression

It is estimated that depression affects over 18.8 million people in the U.S. and over 121 million people worldwide, with approximately 20% of the global population at risk of developing major depression at
some point in their lives. Women are almost twice as likely to suffer from depression as men (9.5% versus 5.8%), but prevalence figures vary from country to country. Depression costs the U.S. an estimated $44 billion each year. The World Health
Organization predicts depression will become the leading cause of disability by the year 2020.

In the U.S., the depression market is
considered the largest segment of the central nervous system market with global sales of $19.8 billion in 2005. This is a mature market with a number of the leading brands facing patent expiration in the next six years.

In January 1999, we entered an exclusive worldwide license agreement with Organon that enables Organon to develop and commercialize the
AMPAKINE compounds for the treatment of schizophrenia. The agreement with Organon included an option for a similar license in the field of depression.

In December 2003 Organon exercised its option to the depression field and currently has a Phase II study in bipolar depression underway at the NIMH. Organon is subject to annual spending requirements for research and
development using AMPAKINE compounds in the depression field. The terms of the agreement also include milestone payments based upon clinical development and royalties on worldwide sales.

Fragile X and Autism

Fragile X is an
inherited disorder that represents the most common cause of inherited mental retardation. The disorder affects approximately 60,000 to 80,000 patients in the U.S., thus qualifying the disorder as an Orphan Drug indication. Symptoms of Fragile X
syndrome include mental impairment ranging from learning disabilities to mental retardation, attention deficit and hyperactivity, anxiety and unstable mood and autistic-like behaviors.

Males are typically more severely affected by Fragile X syndrome than females. Although most males with Fragile X syndrome have mental retardation, only
one-third to one-half of females with the disorder has significant intellectual impairment; the rest have either normal intelligence or learning disabilities. Emotional and behavioral problems are common in both sexes. There are no current
therapeutic treatments for the disorder, although medications are used to treat some symptoms.

Autism is a complex developmental
disability that typically appears during the first three years of life. The result of a neurological disorder that affects the functioning of the brain, autism and its associated behaviors have been estimated to occur in as many as 2 to 6 in 1,000
individuals. The disability is four times more prevalent in males than in females.

Autism impacts the normal development of the brain in
the areas of social interaction and communication skills. Children and adults with autism typically have difficulties in verbal and nonverbal communication, social interactions, and leisure or play activities. Persons with autism may exhibit
repeated body movements, unusual responses to people or attachments to objects, and resistance to changes in routines. Individuals also may experience heightened sensitivities of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. There are currently no
approved therapeutic treatments for autism, although early behavioral intervention dramatically improves outcome.

Recent scientific
research has led to an improved understanding of Fragile X syndrome and autism. A number of scientists have suggested that the use of a drug to enhance glutamate transmission, such as an AMPAKINE compound, may be beneficial.

##### Table of Contents

Further, the genetic defect in Fragile X results in the reduction or absence of an important protein,
FMRP. FMRP is thought to play an important role in allowing normal levels of AMPA receptor proteins to be made. Increasing the activity of AMPA receptors with an AMPAKINE may overcome the reduced number of AMPA receptors produced by
the reduced level of FMRP protein.

Some Fragile X clinicians believe that AMPAKINE compounds with the potential to raise
neurotrophic levels may improve Fragile X patients, especially if administered at a young age. An earlier study with CX516 in Fragile X did not prove to be efficacious, but suffered from the same deficiencies of all the other CX516 studies that were
related to the inadequacies of the compound. More potent and longer lasting AMPAKINE compounds, particularly ones which up regulate BDNF, will be required to moderate this disease.

Huntingtons Disease

Huntingtons
disease (HD) is an inherited, progressive brain disorder characterized by involuntary movements, psychiatric disturbances, and dementia. It typically strikes people whose ages are in the 30s or 40s. Patients ultimately lose physical and
mental abilities to care for themselves. Walking becomes impossible, swallowing difficult, and dementia profound. At the end stage of the disorder, most patients require institutionalization. Current epidemiologic data show that there are 25,000 to
30,000 patients in the United States with HD, thus qualifying it as an Orphan Drug indication.

Both low and high impact
AMPAKINE compounds may play a role in the treatment of HD either as a mono-therapy or in combination with existing pharmacology. AMPAKINE compounds, like CX717, could potentially play a symptomatic role in the reduction
of memory and cognitive components of this disease. High impact AMPAKINE compounds that have a potent effect on the production of neurotrophic factors, such as BDNF, theoretically could have a disease modifying effect on this terminal
disease.

Memory Loss Due to Electroconvulsive Therapy

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is the most effective treatment of major depression, with approximately 100,000 patients receiving ECT in the U.S. ECT works by the intentional induction of a controlled
generalized seizure by administration of electrical impulses to the anesthetized patient. Despite its effectiveness, patient and clinician acceptance is limited due to significant memory loss that has been associated with this therapy.

The effects of chronic ECT have been discussed in recent studies on the pathophysiology of depression. This work has led to the hypothesis that ECT
and antidepressant drugs, via regulation of neurotrophic factors, reverse the atrophy of stress-vulnerable neurons or protect these neurons from further damage. It is possible that AMPAKINE compounds may enhance the recovery of memory
post-ECT therapy.

The availability of monkey models of ECT could allow us to test intervention with CX717 and other
AMPAKINE compounds. If AMPAKINE drugs, like CX717 or a high impact AMPAKINE compound are protective against the negative effects of ECT, this could provide a unique niche for AMPAKINE drugs
in the hospitals where ECT is currently used.

Mild Cognitive Impairment

In the aging population, there is a continuum of cognitive decline. This continuum ranges from normal (for the general age group) to MCI to probable
Alzheimers disease or other types of dementia. Patients with MCI currently represent the earliest clinically-defined group with memory impairment beyond that expected for normal individuals of the same age and education, but do not meet
clinical criteria for Alzheimers disease.

##### Table of Contents

It is estimated that there are between three and four million people with MCI. The memory deficits in the
MCI population are clinically discernible and can interfere with daily functioning. MCI patients also appear to have a greatly increased risk of developing Alzheimers disease. Whereas approximately 1-2% of the normal elderly population will be
diagnosed with Alzheimers disease every year, 10-15% or more of MCI patients will progress to Alzheimers disease per year.

Given the lack of consensus by the FDA on the diagnostic and outcome for success in MCI, we believe that the low impact AMPAKINE CX717 or high impact compounds in our pipeline must first demonstrate efficacy in
Alzheimers disease before undertaking studies with these compounds in MCI. Yet given the potential size of the MCI market, we remain interested in this indication.

Schizophrenia

The worldwide incidence of schizophrenia is approximately one percent of the
population, regardless of ethnic, cultural or socioeconomic status. Schizophrenia typically develops in late adolescence or early adulthood and involves a collection of symptoms. These are generally characterized as positive symptoms
(delusions and hallucinations), negative symptoms (social withdrawal and loss of emotional responsiveness) and cognitive symptoms (disordered thought and attention deficits).

The first conventional anti-psychotics for schizophrenia were developed in the 1950s and 1960s. These drugs helped to reduce the positive symptoms of the
disease and greatly reduced the need for chronic hospitalization but can be difficult to use because of safety and tolerability issues. Newer agents achieve good control of positive symptoms, partial control of negative symptoms and better patient
compliance with medication due to lower frequency of side effects. However, clinicians agree that there are still substantial side effects and that the cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia are not greatly improved by any available agent. The
persistence of cognitive symptoms prevents many patients from successfully reintegrating into society.

Schizophrenia has long been thought
to have its biochemical basis in an over-activity of dopamine pathways projecting into an area of the brain known as the striatum. More recently, a developing body of evidence suggests that schizophrenia also involves reduced activity of glutamate
pathways projecting into the same area. We began studying whether AMPAKINE compounds, which increase current flow through the AMPA subtype of glutamate receptor, might have relevance to the treatment of schizophrenia.

In January 1999, we entered into an exclusive worldwide license agreement with Organon. The agreement will enable Organon to develop and commercialize
our proprietary AMPAKINE technology for the treatment of schizophrenia. Under the agreement, Organon has rights to intellectual property that includes broad medical use patents covering the use of any AMPA receptor modulating compound
to treat schizophrenia as a mono-therapy, or in combination with other anti-psychotic medications.

Organon is currently conducting
clinical testing of the AMPAKINE compound, ORG24448, in patients with schizophrenia. In May 2000, we achieved our first milestone under the related agreement when Organon selected a licensed compound to pursue in Phase I clinical
testing, triggering a $2,000,000 payment to us. In September 2001, Organon informed us of its intent to continue development of the selected compound by entering Phase II clinical testing, triggering a second $2,000,000 milestone payment. Additional
payments from the Organon agreement for schizophrenia will depend upon the drug successfully completing Phase II studies and the initiation of Phase III trials.

A second AMPAKINE drug candidate licensed to Organon is currently in two clinical trials
for the treatment of schizophrenia, one a mono-therapy trial that was nearly completed in 2006 and the other trial in combination with other antipsychotic agents that is just being initiated.

Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic Brain Injury
(TBI) is an injury to the head that disrupts the normal function of the brain. The injury is not degenerative or congenital in nature, and is caused by an external physical force. There is a wide range of injuries with this disorder from
mild, with only a brief loss of consciousness, to severe, resulting in life-long coma. The injury may be focal or diffuse, closed or penetrating. TBI is the leading cause of death and disability among children and young adults. People over the age
of 75 have the highest rate of TBI, with falls being the main cause. Young adults have the next highest rate, with transportation being the most common cause. Finally, the third highest rate of TBI is that of children under the age of 5 years, with
their most common causes being falls and motor vehicle accidents. In the U.S., there are 5.3 million people with TBI and there is an incidence of over 1.7 million cases per year.

Other Indications

We may conduct studies in
various other indications that have not been discussed above. In addition to the AMPAKINE CX717, we plan to advance other AMPAKINE compounds that have shown promise in animal models. During 2006, we initiated toxicology
testing for additional AMPAKINE compounds. If those tests are successful, we hope to have a second drug candidate in clinical trials during 2007.

Proof of Principal Compound  AMPAKINE CX516

Our development of the AMPAKINE technology
began with our exclusive license of the technology from the University of California in 1993. CX516 was among a number of AMPAKINE compounds that were rapidly synthesized and evaluated by our scientists during the early discovery and
preclinical development processes. Given concerns about potential brain-related side effects caused by excess glutamate, many believed that AMPAKINE compounds (through their potentiation of glutamate) would cause serious side effects
in humans.

Three human clinical safety studies have been completed with the AMPAKINE CX516 in healthy volunteers. In all
three studies, CX516 was safe and well-tolerated on acute oral administration, and importantly, indicated some effects on memory performance.

Phase II studies in MCI, ADHD, schizophrenia and Fragile X syndrome subsequently were initiated and/or completed with CX516. Because CX516 has an extremely short half-life in humans and had very low potency, it failed to show any material
benefits in any of the Phase II trials. However, it did reduce the concern about toxicity of excess glutamate and point the way for future generations of AMPAKINE compounds that may overcome the shortcomings of CX516. No further
clinical development of CX516 is planned and all projects related to this compound have been terminated.

Manufacturing

We have no experience or capability to either manufacture bulk quantities of the new compounds that we develop, or to produce finished dosage forms of the
compounds, such as tablets or capsules. We rely, and presently intend to rely, on the manufacturing and quality control expertise of contract manufacturing organizations or current and prospective corporate partners. There is no assurance that we
will be able to enter into manufacturing arrangements to produce bulk quantities of our compounds on favorable financial terms. There is however, substantial availability of dosage form manufacturing capability in the U.S. pharmaceutical industry
that we believe that we can readily access. See Risk Factors  Risks related to our business We are at an early stage of development and we may not be able to successfully develop and commercialize our products and
technologies on page 20 for a discussion of certain risks related to the development and commercialization of our products.

##### Table of Contents

Marketing

We have no experience in the marketing of pharmaceutical products and do not anticipate having the resources to distribute and broadly market any products that we may develop for indications such as Alzheimers disease and
schizophrenia. We will therefore continue to seek commercial development arrangements with other pharmaceutical companies for our proposed products for those indications that require significant sales forces to effectively market. In entering into
such arrangements, we may seek to retain the right to promote or co-promote products for certain of the Orphan Drug indications in North America. We believe that there is a significant expertise base for such marketing and sales functions within the
pharmaceutical industry and expect that we could recruit such expertise if we pursue to directly market a drug. Our worldwide licensing agreement with Organon (see Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements) does not provide us with co-promotional
rights. With respect to Orphan Drugs, we may distribute and market such products directly. See Risk Factors  Risks related to our business We are at an early stage of development and we may not be able to successfully
develop and commercialize our products and technologies on page 20 for a discussion of certain risks related to the development and commercialization of our products.

Technology Rights

In 1993, we entered into an agreement with the Regents of the University of
California (the University), under which we secured exclusive commercial rights to AMPA-receptor modulating technology and compounds (the AMPAKINE technology) for the treatment of deficits of memory and cognition. The
relationship later was expanded to include additional agreements for other indications. We paid an initial license fee and are obligated to make additional payments, including license maintenance fees and patent expense reimbursements creditable
against future royalties, over the course of initiating and conducting human clinical testing and obtaining regulatory approvals. When and if sales of licensed products commence, we will pay royalties on net sales. During the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2003, we amended the agreement with the University to exclude the treatment of disease areas outside of the central nervous system that we would not have the resources or the capability to develop in a timely manner. See Risk
Factors  Risks related to our business Our products rely on licenses from the Regents of the University of California, and if we lose access to these technologies, our business would be substantially impaired on page 20 for
a discussion of certain risks related to our licenses with the University.

Patents and Proprietary Rights

We are aggressively pursuing patent protection of our technologies. We own or have exclusive rights (within our areas of product development) to more than
50 issued or allowed U.S. and foreign patents and have a number of additional U.S. patent applications and their international counterparts pending. Over 40 of these are composition of matter patents that cover hundreds of our compounds. These
patents form the foundation of the Companys business and the pharmaceutical industry in general. Additionally, we are consistently filing new disclosures and patents for new structures and new uses.

Two method of use patents underlie much of our current development work. These patents have been issued to the University and rights to the patents are
licensed exclusively to us for all uses, other than endocrine modulation.



- 15 -

##### Table of Contents

One of these patents covers the method of use for our AMPAKINE compounds  as well as
compounds made by others  and describes the mechanism by which AMPAKINE compounds may affect the treatment of memory and cognition. This patent issued to the University in the U.S. in 1999. We believe that the coverage from this
patent extends to both neurological disorders such as Alzheimers disease as well as psychiatric conditions with cognitive disturbances including depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, attention deficit disorder, and phobic disorders.
Similar method of use patents have been issued to us in Mexico, Australia and New Zealand.

In November 2003, a similar patent was issued
to the University by the European Patent Office. Under the rules of the European Patent Office, this patent entered into a nine-month period during which oppositions to the issuance could be filed. Upon issuance of the patent, an opposition was
filed by Eli Lilly and Company. In August 2004, GlaxoSmithKline also filed an opposition. In cooperation with the University, we responded to the oppositions. There is no timeframe available for a decision from the European Patent Office and such
decision may be appealed by us or the party filing the opposition. As a result, the process to determine whether the oppositions filed for this patent will or will not prevail in Europe may take anywhere from six months to several years to resolve.

Another method of use patent contains a broad claim for any AMPA-modulating compound to treat schizophrenia. This patent was issued to the
University in the U.S. in 1998, and subsequently has issued in Australia.

Our rights under the University patents are contingent upon us
making certain minimum annual payments to the University, meeting certain milestones and diligently seeking to commercialize the underlying technology.

Since issuance of a patent does not guarantee the right to practice the claimed invention, others may obtain patents that we would then need to license or design around in order to practice our patented technologies.
We may not be able to obtain licenses that might be required to practice these technologies due to patents of others on reasonable terms or at all. Additionally, any unpatented manufacture, use or sale of our technology, processes or products may
infringe on patents or proprietary rights of others, and we may be unable to obtain licenses or other rights to these other technologies that may be required for commercialization of our proposed products or processes.

We rely to a certain extent upon unpatented proprietary technology and may determine in some cases that our interests would be better served by reliance
on trade secrets or confidentiality agreements rather than patents. See Risk Factors  Risks related to our industry If we fail to secure adequate intellectual property protection, it could significantly harm our financial
results and ability to compete on page 21 for a discussion of certain risks related to the protection of our intellectual property rights.

Government Regulation

In order to test, produce and market human therapeutic products in the U.S., mandatory procedures and
safety standards established by the FDA must be satisfied. Obtaining FDA approval is a costly and time-consuming process. We have initiated Phase I and early Phase II testing in the U.S. and Europe, primarily with the assistance of clinical
collaborators and our corporate partners, Organon and Servier. Some clinical trials were and are performed in the U.S. under Notices of Claimed Investigational Exemption for a New Drug (IND) filed with the FDA by our clinical
collaborators. We filed an IND for the AMPAKINE CX516 in our name in the fall of 2000. Given the clinical shortcomings of CX516, in 2005 we formally requested the FDA to withdraw this IND. We filed an IND for the
AMPAKINE CX717 in December 2004. It is our intent that Organon, Servier or another pharmaceutical company partner or partners that we are seeking, will pursue other required regulatory approvals to conduct further clinical testing
with AMPAKINE compounds. However, we intend to file other INDs for additional AMPAKINE compounds to facilitate the development of our Orphan Drug strategy.

##### Table of Contents

Clinical trials are normally conducted in three phases. Phase I trials are concerned primarily with
safety of the drug, involve fewer than 100 subjects, and may take from six months to over a year. Phase II trials normally involve a few hundred patients. Phase II trials are designed to demonstrate effectiveness and to determine optimal dosing in
treating or diagnosing the disease or condition for which the drug is intended. Short-term side effects and risks in people whose health is impaired also may be examined. Phase III trials may involve up to several thousand patients who have the
disease or condition for which the drug is intended, to approximate more closely the conditions of ordinary medical practice. Phase III trials also are designed to clarify the drugs benefit-risk relationship, to uncover less common side
effects and adverse reactions, and to generate information for proper labeling of the drug. The FDA receives reports on the progress of each phase of clinical testing, and may require the modification, suspension, or termination of clinical trials
if an unwarranted risk is presented to patients. The FDA estimates that the clinical trial period of drug development can take up to ten years, and averages five years. With certain exceptions, once clinical testing is completed, the sponsor can
submit a New Drug Application (NDA) for approval to market a drug. The FDAs review of an NDA can also be lengthy.

Therapeutic products that may be developed and sold by us outside the U.S. will be subject to regulation by the various countries in which they are to be distributed. In addition, products manufactured in the U.S. that have not yet been
cleared for domestic distribution will require FDA approval in order to be exported to foreign countries for distribution there. See Risk Factors  Risks related to our industry The regulatory approval process is expensive,
time consuming, uncertain and may prevent us from obtaining required approvals for the commercialization of some of our products on page 22 for a discussion of certain risks related to the regulatory approval of our products.

We plan to seek additional financing to support our development of selected AMPAKINE compounds for Orphan Drug indications. Without such
financing, we may be severely restricted in our overall development. We would be dependent upon our sub-licensees and might be unable to maintain our current core technical and management capabilities. Under such circumstances, we would be dependent
upon entering into partnerships or other collaborative arrangements with third parties with the required resources to obtain the needed approvals. Along with our licensing agreements with Organon and Servier, we intend to enter into license or other
arrangements with other pharmaceutical companies under which those companies would conduct the required clinical trials and seek FDA approval for most or all of our proposed products. See Risk Factors  Risks related to our business We may not be able to enter into the strategic alliances necessary to fully develop and commercialize our products and technologies, and we will be dependent on our corporate partners if we do on page 21 for a discussion of certain
risks related to the proposed strategic alliances that we are seeking.

Competition

The pharmaceutical industry is characterized by rapidly evolving technology and intense competition. Many companies of all sizes, including both major
pharmaceutical companies and specialized biotechnology companies, are engaged in activities similar to ours. A large number of drugs intended for the treatment of Alzheimers disease, MCI, schizophrenia, depression, ADHD and other neurological
and psychiatric diseases and disorders are on the market or in the later stages of clinical testing. For example, approximately 15 drugs are in development in the U.S. for schizophrenia and over 25 drugs are under clinical investigation in the U.S.
for the treatment of Alzheimers disease. Most of our competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources and larger research and development staffs. Larger pharmaceutical company competitors also have significant experience in
preclinical testing, human clinical trials and regulatory approval procedures.

In addition, colleges, universities, governmental agencies
and other public and private research organizations will continue to conduct research. These institutions are becoming more active in seeking patent protection and licensing arrangements to collect license fees, milestone payments and royalties in
exchange for license rights to technology that they have developed, some of which may be directly competitive with us.

##### Table of Contents

We expect technological developments in the neuropharmacology field to continue to occur at a rapid rate
and expect that competition will remain intense as those advances continue. Based on the technical qualifications, expertise and reputations of our Scientific Directors, consultants and other key scientists, we believe that our operating strategy to
develop AMPAKINE compounds for the treatment of selected Orphan Drug indications and to out-license the technology to larger pharmaceutical companies for major chronic indications is appropriate.

Product Liability Insurance

The clinical testing,
manufacturing and marketing of our products may expose us to product liability claims, against which we maintain liability insurance. See Risk Factors  Risks related to our industry  We may be subject to potential product
liability claims. One or more successful claims brought against us could materially impact our business and financial condition on page 22 for a discussion of certain risks related to product liability claims against us.

Employees

We currently have 25 full-time employees
and one part-time employee. Of the 25 full-time employees, seven are engaged in management and administrative support and the remainder are engaged in research and development, including 12 Ph.D.-level or equivalent employees.

We do not anticipate significant increases in our employee levels during the next twelve months. We will continue to outsource a substantial amount of
our research and development to qualified vendors. We sponsor a substantial amount of research in academic laboratories, primarily at the University of California, Irvine.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other matters set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our
continuing operations and the price of our common stock are subject to the following risks:

Risks related to our business

We have a history of net losses; we expect to continue to incur net losses and we may never achieve or maintain profitability.

Since our formation on February 10, 1987 through December 31, 2006, we have generated only modest operating revenues and we have incurred net
losses approximating $79,758,000. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, our net losses were approximately $16,055,000, $11,606,000 and $6,234,000, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and fiscal
year ended June 30, 2004, our net losses amounted to approximately $4,046,000, $3,806,000 and $5,994,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $81,790,000. We have not generated any revenue
from product sales to date, and it is possible that we will never generate revenues from product sales in the future. Even if we do achieve significant revenues from product sales, we expect to incur significant operating losses over the next
several years. As with other companies in the biotechnology industry, it is possible that we will never achieve profitable operations.

##### Table of Contents

We will need additional capital in the future and, if it is not available on terms acceptable to us, or at all, we may
need to scale back our research and development efforts and may be unable to continue our business operations.

We will require
substantial additional funds to advance our research and development programs and to continue our operations, particularly if we decide to independently conduct later-stage clinical testing and apply for regulatory approval of any of our proposed
products, and if we independently undertake marketing and promotion of our products. Additionally, we may require additional funds in the event that we decide to pursue strategic acquisitions of or licenses for other products or businesses. Based on
our current operating plan, including planned clinical trials and other product research and development costs, we estimate that our existing cash resources, including and amounts received from our registered direct offering in January 2007, will be
sufficient to meet our requirements into calendar year 2008. However, we believe that we will require additional capital to fund on-going operations beyond that time. Additional funds may result from milestone payments related to our agreements with
Organon and Servier, although there is no assurance that we will receive milestone payments from Organon or Servier within the desired timeframe, or at all. Additional funds also may result from the exercise of warrants to purchase shares of our
common stock. As of December 31, 2006, warrants to purchase up to approximately 8.3 million shares of our common stock were outstanding. If these remaining warrants are fully exercised, of which there can be no assurance, such exercise
would provide approximately $25,000,000 of additional capital. Additionally, if the warrants to purchase up to approximately 3.3 million shares of our common stock issued in connection with our registered direct offering in January 2007 are
fully exercised, of which there can be no assurance, such exercise would provide approximately $5,400,000 of additional capital.

Our cash
requirements in the future may be significantly different from our current estimates and depend on many factors, including:



| |  |  | the results of our clinical trials;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the costs of setting up and operating our own marketing and sales organization;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability to obtain funding under contractual and licensing agreements;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the costs involved in obtaining and enforcing patents or any litigation by third parties regarding intellectual property; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our success in entering into collaborative relationships with other parties.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

To finance our future activities, we may seek funds through additional rounds of financing, including private or public equity or debt offerings and
collaborative arrangements with corporate partners. We cannot say with any certainty that we will be able to obtain the additional needed funds on reasonable terms, or at all. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result
in additional dilution to our stockholders. If we issued preferred equity or debt securities, these securities could have rights superior to holders of our common stock, and could contain covenants that will restrict our operations. We might have to
obtain funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to our technologies, product candidates or products that we otherwise would not relinquish. If adequate funds are not available, we
could lose our key employees and might have to delay, scale back or eliminate one or more of our research and development programs, which would impair our future prospects. In addition, we may be unable to meet our research spending obligations
under our existing licensing agreements and may be unable to continue our business operations.

##### Table of Contents

Our products rely on licenses from The Regents of the University of California, and if we lose access to these
technologies, our business would be substantially impaired.

Under our agreements with The Regents of the University of California, we
have exclusive rights to AMPAKINE compounds for all applications for which the University has patent rights, other than endocrine modulation.

Our rights to the AMPAKINE compounds are secured by patents or patent applications owned wholly by the University or by the University as a co-owner with us. Our existing agreements with the University
require the University to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain patent applications related to our licensed rights at our expense. Such agreements also require us to make certain minimum annual payments, meet certain milestones or diligently seek to
commercialize the underlying technology.

Under our agreements, we are required to make minimum annual royalty payments approximating
$70,000. Separately, we are required to spend a minimum of $250,000 per year to advance the AMPAKINE compounds until we begin marketing an AMPAKINE compound. The commercialization efforts in the agreements require us to
file for regulatory approval of an AMPAKINE compound before October 2007.

Although we currently are in compliance with our
obligations under the agreements, including minimum annual payments and diligence milestones, our failure to meet any of these requirements could allow the University to terminate that particular agreement. Management believes that it maintains a
strong relationship with the University.

We are at an early stage of development and we may not be able to successfully develop and commercialize our
products and technologies.

The development of AMPAKINE products is subject to the risks of failure commonly experienced
in the development of products based upon innovative technologies and the expense and difficulty of obtaining approvals from regulatory agencies. Drug discovery and development is time consuming, expensive and unpredictable. On average, only one out
of many thousands of chemical compounds discovered by researchers proves to be both medically effective and safe enough to become an approved medicine. In the fields that we target, approximately one in five compounds placed in clinical trials
generally reaches the market. All of our proposed products are in the preclinical or early clinical stage of development and will require significant additional funding for research, development and clinical testing before we are able to submit them
to any of the regulatory agencies for clearances for commercial use. Our trials that are subject to our collaborative research arrangements are being funded by third parties and do not involve financial commitments from Cortex.

The process from discovery to development to regulatory approval can take several years and drug candidates can fail at any stage of the process. Late
stage clinical trials often fail to replicate results achieved in earlier studies. Historically, in our industry more than half of all compounds in development failed during Phase II trials and 30% failed during Phase III trials. We cannot assure
you that we will be able to complete successfully any of our research and development activities. Even if we do complete them, we may not be able to market successfully any of the products or be able to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals or
assure that healthcare providers and payors will accept our products. We also face the risk that any or all of our products will not work as intended or that they will be unsafe, or that, even if they do work and are safe, that our products will be
uneconomical to manufacture and market on a large scale. Due to the extended testing and regulatory review process required before we can obtain marketing clearance, we do not expect to be able to commercialize any therapeutic drug for several
years, either directly or through our corporate partners or licensees.

##### Table of Contents

We may not be able to enter into the strategic alliances necessary to fully develop and commercialize our products and
technologies, and we will be dependent on our corporate partners if we do.

In addition to our agreements with Organon and Servier, we
are seeking other pharmaceutical company partners to develop other major indications for the AMPAKINE compounds. These agreements would potentially provide us with additional funds in exchange for exclusive or non-exclusive license or
other rights to the technologies and products that we are currently developing. Competition between biopharmaceutical companies for these types of arrangements is intense. Although we have been engaged in discussions with candidate companies for
some time, we cannot give any assurance that these discussions will result in an agreement or agreements in a timely manner, or at all. Additionally, we cannot assure you that any resulting agreement will generate sufficient revenues to offset our
operating expenses and longer-term funding requirements.

If we are unable to maintain our relationships with academic consultants and the University of
California, Irvine, our business could suffer.

We depend upon our relationships with academic consultants, particularly
Dr. Gary S. Lynch of the University of California, Irvine. Dr. Lynch plays a key role in guiding our research. In addition, we sponsor preclinical research in Dr. Lynchs laboratories at the University of California, Irvine
that is part of our product development and corporate partnering profile. If our relationship with Dr. Lynch or the University of California, Irvine, is disrupted, our AMPA- receptor research program could be adversely affected. The term of our
consulting agreement with Dr. Lynch commenced in November 1987 and will continue until terminated by either party to the agreement upon at least 60 days prior written notice to the other party. Our agreements with our other consultants
are generally also terminable by the consultant on short notice. We maintain a positive relationship with Dr. Lynch and continue to fund research related to understanding the molecular actions of the AMPAKINE compounds and the
AMPA receptor in his laboratory.

Risks related to our industry

If we fail to secure adequate intellectual property protection, it could significantly harm our financial results and ability to compete.

Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to get patent protection for our products and processes in the U.S. and elsewhere. We have filed and
intend to continue to file patent applications as we need them. However, additional patents that may issue from any of these applications may not be sufficiently broad to protect our technology. Also, any patents issued to us or licensed by us may
be designed around or challenged by others, and if such challenge is successful, it may diminish our rights.

If we are unable to obtain
sufficient protection of our proprietary rights in our products or processes prior to or after obtaining regulatory clearances, our competitors may be able to obtain regulatory clearance and market competing products by demonstrating the equivalency
of their products to our products. If they are successful at demonstrating the equivalency between the products, our competitors would not have to conduct the same lengthy clinical tests that we have conducted.

We also rely on trade secrets and confidential information that we try to protect by entering into confidentiality agreements with other parties. Those
confidentiality agreements may be breached, and our remedies may be insufficient to protect the confidential information. Further, our competitors may independently learn our trade secrets or develop similar or superior technologies. To the extent
that our consultants, key employees or others apply technological information independently developed by them or by others to our projects, disputes may arise regarding the proprietary rights to such information. We cannot assure you that such
disputes will be resolved in our favor.

##### Table of Contents

We may be subject to potential product liability claims. One or more successful claims brought against us could
materially impact our business and financial condition.

The clinical testing, manufacturing and marketing of our products may expose us
to product liability claims. We maintain liability insurance with coverage limits of $10 million per occurrence and $10 million in the annual aggregate. We have never been subject to a product liability claim, and we require each patient in our
clinical trials to sign an informed consent agreement that describes the risks related to the trials, but we cannot assure you that the coverage limits of our insurance policies will be adequate or that one or more successful claims brought against
us would not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and result of operations. Further, if one of our AMPAKINE compounds is approved by the FDA for marketing, we cannot assure you that adequate product
liability insurance will be available, or if available, that it will be available at a reasonable cost. Any adverse outcome resulting from a product liability claim could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

We face intense competition that could result in products that are superior to the products that we are developing.

Our business is characterized by intensive research efforts. Our competitors include many companies, research institutes and
universities that are working in a number of pharmaceutical or biotechnology disciplines to develop therapeutic products similar to those we are currently investigating. For example, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America recently
estimated that more than 100 pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are conducting research in the field of neurological disorders, with over 25 drugs under clinical investigation in the U.S. for the treatment of Alzheimers disease.
Virtually all of the major multinational pharmaceutical companies have active projects in these areas. Most of these competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and/or other resources than we
do. In addition, many of our competitors have experience in performing human clinical trials of new or improved therapeutic products and obtaining approvals from the FDA and other regulatory agencies. We have no experience in conducting and managing
later-stage clinical testing or in preparing applications necessary to obtain regulatory approvals. Accordingly, it is possible that our competitors may succeed in developing products that are safer or more effective than those that we are
developing and may obtain FDA approvals for their products faster than we can. We expect that competition in this field will continue to intensify.

We
may be unable to recruit and retain our senior management and other key technical personnel on whom we are dependent.

We are highly
dependent upon key management and technical personnel and currently do not carry any insurance policies on such persons. In particular, we are highly dependent on our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Roger G. Stoll, Ph.D.; our and
our Chief Scientific Officer and Chief Operating Officer, Mark A. Varney, Ph.D.; and our Vice President, Preclinical Development, Steven A. Johnson, Ph.D., all of whom have entered into employment agreements with us. Competition for qualified
employees among pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies is intense. The loss of any of our key management or technical personnel, or our inability to attract, retain and motivate the additional highly-skilled employees and consultants that our
business requires, could substantially hurt our business and prospects. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our existing personnel or attract additional qualified employees when we need them.

The regulatory approval process is expensive, time consuming, uncertain and may prevent us from obtaining required approvals for the commercialization of some of our
products.

The FDA and other similar agencies in foreign countries have substantial requirements for therapeutic products. Such
requirements often involve lengthy and detailed laboratory, clinical and post-clinical testing procedures and are expensive to complete. It often takes companies many years to satisfy these requirements, depending on the complexity and novelty of
the product. The review process is also

##### Table of Contents

extensive, which may delay the approval process even more. According to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, historically the cost of
developing a new pharmaceutical from discovery to approval was approximately $800 million, and this amount is expected to increase annually.

As of yet, we have not obtained any approvals to market our products. Further, we cannot assure you that the FDA or other regulatory agency will grant us approval for any of our products on a timely basis, if at all. Even if regulatory
clearances are obtained, a marketed product is subject to continual review, and later discovery of previously unknown problems may result in restrictions on marketing or withdrawal of the product from the market.

Other risks

Our stock price may be volatile and our common
stock could decline in value.

The market price of securities of life sciences companies in general has been very unpredictable. The
range of sales prices of our common stock for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the six-month period ended December 31, 2004 and fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, as quoted on The American Stock Exchange, was $1.19 to
$5.94, $1.96 to $3.03, $1.40 to $3.10 and $1.62 to $4.99, respectively. The following factors, in addition to factors that affect that market generally, could significantly impact our business, and the market price of our common stock could decline:



| |  |  | competitors announcing technological innovations or new commercial products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | competitors publicity regarding actual or potential products under development;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | regulatory developments in the U.S. and foreign countries;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | developments concerning proprietary rights, including patent litigation;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | public concern over the safety of therapeutic products; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in healthcare reimbursement policies and healthcare regulations.

There is a large number of shares of common stock that may be sold, which may depress the market price of our stock.

As of March 9, 2007, we had approximately 40.0 million shares of common stock outstanding. Additionally, if all warrants and options outstanding as of such date are exercised prior to their expiration, approximately
21.7 million additional shares of common stock could become freely tradable without restriction. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock and could
also make it more difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings of common stock.

Our charter document and shareholder rights plan may
prevent or delay an attempt by our stockholders to replace or remove management.

Certain provisions of our restated certificate of
incorporation, as amended, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of our business, even if such change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders. Our restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, allows our
Board of Directors to issue up to 549,500 shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval. Pursuant to this authority, in February 2002 our Board of Directors adopted a shareholder rights plan and declared a dividend of a right to purchase
one one-thousandth of a share of preferred stock for each outstanding share of our common stock. The ability of our Board of Directors to issue additional preferred stock and our shareholder rights plan may have the effect of delaying or preventing
an attempt by our stockholders to replace or remove existing directors and management.

We may be unable to maintain the standards for listing on The
American Stock Exchange, which could adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock.

Our common stock is currently listed on The
American Stock Exchange. There are several requirements that we must satisfy in order for our common stock to continue to be listed on The American

Stock Exchange. In the future, we may not comply with all of these listing requirements, which might result in the delisting of our common stock. Delisting
from The American Stock Exchange could adversely affect the liquidity and the price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise future capital through a sale of shares of our common stock. If our common
stock were delisted it would be traded on an electronic bulletin board established for securities that are not traded on a national securities exchange, Nasdaq or traded in quotations published by the National Quotations Bureau, Inc., commonly
referred to as the pink sheets. If this occurs, it could be difficult to sell our securities or obtain the same level of market information as to the price of shares of our common stock as is currently available.

If our common stock were delisted and determined to be a penny stock, a broker-dealer may find it more difficult to trade our common stock and an investor
may find it more difficult to acquire or dispose of our common stock in the secondary market.

In addition, if our common stock were
delisted, it may be subject to the so-called penny stock rules. The SEC has adopted regulations that define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price per share of less than $5.00, subject to certain
exceptions, such as any securities listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on Nasdaq. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers,
subject to certain exceptions. If our common stock were delisted and determined to be a penny stock, a broker-dealer may find it more difficult to trade our common stock and an investor may find it more difficult to acquire or dispose of
our common stock on the secondary market.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2. Properties

We lease approximately 32,000 square feet of office, research laboratory and expansion
space in Irvine, California, under an operating lease that expires May 31, 2009. Current monthly rent on these facilities is approximately $40,000. We believe that our current facilities will be adequate and suitable for our research and
development activities for at least the remainder of the lease term.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We are not a party to any material legal proceedings, nor has any material
proceeding been terminated during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

None.

As of March 9, 2007, there were 466 stockholders of record of our common stock, and approximately
9,500 beneficial owners. The high and low sales prices for our common stock on March 9, 2007, as reported by The American Stock Exchange, were $2.00 and $1.81, respectively.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends, if
any, will be determined by the Board of Directors in light of conditions then existing, including our financial condition and requirements, future prospects, restrictions in financing agreements, business conditions and other factors deemed relevant
by the Board of Directors.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, we did not repurchase any of our securities.

Stock Performance Graph

Set forth below is a line
graph comparing the cumulative stockholder return on the Companys Common Stock with the cumulative total return of The American Stock Exchange Composite Index and an industry peer group identified by the Company (the Peer Group
Index). The Peer Group Index consists of TorreyPines Therapeutics, Indevus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Neurobiological Technologies, Inc., StemCells, Inc. and Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The Peer Group Index return
consists of the weighted returns of each component issuer according to such issuers respective stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated.

The graph assumes an investment of $100 in the Companys Common Stock on January 1, 2002, and an investment in each of The American Stock
Exchange Composite Index and the Peer Group Index of $100 on January 1, 2002. The graph covers the period from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2006.

The calculation of cumulative stockholder return for The American Stock Exchange Composite Index and the Peer Group Index includes the reinvestment of dividends. The calculation of cumulative stockholder return on the
Companys Common Stock does not include reinvestment of dividends because

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following
discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes related thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

Critical Accounting Policies and Management Estimates

The Securities and Exchange Commission defines critical accounting
policies as those that are, in managements view, most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and most demanding of their judgment. Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. This process forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commissions Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104
(SAB 104), amounts received for upfront technology license fees under multiple-element arrangements are deferred and recognized over the period of committed services or performance, if such arrangements require our on-going services or
performance. We record grant revenues as we incur expenses related to the grant projects. All amounts received under collaborative research agreements or research grants are nonrefundable, regardless of the success of the underlying research.

Revenues from milestone payments are recognized when earned, as evidenced by written acknowledgment from our collaborator, provided that
(i) the milestone event is substantive and its achievement was not reasonably assured at the inception of the agreement, and (ii) our performance obligations after the milestone achievement will continue to be funded by our collaborator at
a comparable level to that before the milestone achievement. If both of these criteria are not met, the milestone payment is recognized over the remaining minimum period of our performance obligations under the agreement.

In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) reached consensus on
Issue 00-21. EITF Issue 00-21 addresses the accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. Specifically, Issue 00-21 requires the recognition of revenue from
milestone payments over the remaining minimum period of performance obligations. As required, we apply the principles of Issue 00-21 to multiple element agreements that we enter into or modify after July 1, 2003.

Employee Stock Options and Stock-Based Compensation

As required, as of January 1, 2006 we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) (SFAS 123(R)), which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to
be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Prior periods were not restated.

Prior to January 1, 2006, we
accounted for stock-based employee compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). According to APB 25, no compensation expense is recognized
since the exercise price of our stock

options generally equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. We transitioned to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123, Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), by utilizing Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation  Transition and Disclosure
(SFAS 148). In accordance with SFAS 148, we disclosed the effects of stock-based employee compensation on reported net income or loss and earnings or loss per share in the footnotes to our annual and interim financial statements.

Given that we previously followed APB 25 and SFAS 148 in accounting for our employee stock options, the impact of adopting the expense
recognition requirements of SFAS 123(R) was significant to our results of operations, but not our financial position. Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 includes approximately $3,050,000 of non-cash stock-based employee
compensation costs. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, our net loss includes approximately $13,000 and $41,000 of non-cash stock-based employee compensation costs, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2004 and
2003, our net loss includes approximately $35,000 and $31,000 of non-cash stock-based employee compensation costs, respectively. For the year ended June 30, 2004, our net loss includes approximately $37,000 of non-cash stock-based employee
compensation costs.

In accordance with SFAS 123 and EITF Issue 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other
than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services, stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees as compensation for services to be provided to us are accounted for based upon the fair
value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. We recognize this expense over the period the services are provided.

Registration Payment Arrangements

In connection with
prior private placements of our common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, we entered into agreements that committed us to timely register the shares underlying the issued warrants. Those registration agreements specified
potential cash penalties if we did not timely register the related shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In accordance with
EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed To, and Potentially Settled In a Companys Own Stock, when the potential cash penalties were included in registration payment arrangements, we recorded the
estimated fair value of the warrants as a liability, with an offsetting reduction to additional paid-in capital received from the private placement. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The estimated fair value of the warrants was re-measured at each reporting date and on the date of effectiveness of the related
registration statement, with the increase in fair value recorded as other expense in our Statement of Operations. As of the effectiveness of the registration statement, the warrant liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital, evidencing
the non-impact of these adjustments on our financial position and business operations.

In December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff
Position (FSP) EITF No. 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements. This FSP specifies that companies that enter into agreements to register securities will be required to recognize a liability if a payment to
investors for failing to fulfill the agreement is probable and can be reasonably estimated. This accounting differs from the guidance in EITF 00-19, which required a liability to be recognized and measured at fair value, regardless of probability.

EITF 00-19-2 is effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the financial instruments subject to those arrangements
that we enter into or modify after the date of issuance of this FSP. For our registration payment arrangements and financial instruments subject to those arrangements that were entered prior to the issuance of this FSP, the guidance will be
effective beginning January 1, 2007.

##### Table of Contents

Transition to EITF 00-19-2 is to be achieved by reporting a change in accounting principle through a
cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. For purposes of measuring the cumulative-effect adjustment related to the recognition of a contingent liability, we will evaluate whether the transfer of consideration under
our registration payment arrangements is probable and can be reasonably estimated as of the January 1, 2007 adoption date. Given that we do not deem the transfer of consideration under our existing registration payment arrangements as probable
as of December 31, 2006, we do not anticipate recording a cumulative-effect adjustment in connection with the adoption of this FSP.

The above listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States, with no need for managements judgment in their application. There are also areas in which managements judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. See our audited
financial statements and notes thereto which begin on page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contain accounting policies and other disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

As reported on our Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 10, 2004, we changed our fiscal year from June 30 to December 31,
implementing such change for the six months ended December 31, 2004.

Results of Operations

General

In January 1999, we entered into a research
collaboration and exclusive worldwide license agreement with NV Organon (Organon), a pharmaceutical business unit of Akzo Nobel. The agreement will allow Organon to develop and commercialize our proprietary AMPAKINE
technology for the treatment of schizophrenia and depression. In connection with the agreement, we received a $2,000,000 up-front licensing payment and research support payments of approximately $3,000,000 per year for two years.

The agreement with Organon also includes milestone payments based upon clinical development, plus royalty payments on worldwide sales. Through
December 31, 2006, we have received milestone payments totaling $6,000,000 under the agreement with Organon.

In October 2000, we entered into a research collaboration agreement and an exclusive license agreement with Les Laboratoires Servier (Servier). The license agreement will allow Servier to develop and
commercialize select AMPAKINE®compounds for the treatment of (i) declines in cognitive performance associated with aging, (ii) neurodegenerative diseases and (iii) anxiety disorders. The indications covered include, but are not limited to,
Alzheimers disease, mild cognitive impairment, sexual dysfunction, and the dementia associated with multiple sclerosis and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. In early December 2006, we terminated the research collaboration with Servier and as a
result the worldwide rights for the AMPAKINE technology for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases were returned to us, other than for compounds which may be selected by Servier for commercialization. We currently are having
discussions with various large pharmaceutical research and development organizations regarding possible broad collaborations for the development of our high impact AMPAKINE technology.

The agreements with Servier, as amended to date, include a nonrefundable up-front fee of $5,000,000 and research support payments of $2,025,000 per year
through early December 2006 (subject to us providing agreed-upon levels of research personnel). The amount of research support was subject to annual adjustment based upon the increase in the U.S. Department of Labors Consumer Price Index.
During the year ended December 31, 2006, our research revenues from the Servier agreements were approximately $1,025,000. The agreements also include potential milestone payments, plus royalty payments on sales in licensed territories.

##### Table of Contents

In October 2002, Servier agreed to provide us with $4,000,000 of additional research support, in exchange
for rights to our AMPAKINE compounds for the potential treatment of anxiety disorders in Serviers licensed territories. The $4,000,000 was paid in quarterly installments of $500,000 over a two-year period, ending in September
2004.

From inception (February 10, 1987) through December 31, 2006, we sustained losses approximating $79,758,000. Due to projected
fluctuations in funding, continuing losses are likely over the next several years, as our ongoing operating expenses will only be offset, if at all, by possible milestone payments from our agreements with Servier and Organon, or under planned
strategic alliances that we are seeking with other pharmaceutical companies for the clinical development, manufacturing and marketing of our products. The nature and timing of payments to us under the Servier and Organon agreements or other planned
strategic alliances, if and when entered into, are likely to significantly affect our operations and financing activities and to produce substantial period-to-period fluctuations in reported financial results. Over the longer term, we will require
successful commercial development of our products by Servier, Organon, or our other prospective partners to attain sustained profitable operations from royalties or other product-based revenues.

We believe that inflation and changing prices have not had a material impact on our ongoing operations to date.

Years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

For the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, our net loss of approximately $16,055,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $11,606,000 for the prior year.

Revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 decreased by 54% to approximately $1,177,000 from approximately $2,577,000 reported in the prior year due to decreased research revenues from our research
collaboration agreement with Servier. At our request, the collaboration with Servier ended in early December 2006.

Research and
development expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 increased to approximately $13,262,000 from approximately $11,361,000, or by 17%, compared to the corresponding prior year period as a result of increased non-cash stock
compensation charges related to our required adoption of SFAS 123(R) as of January 1, 2006, and the recording of expense for all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, based on their fair values. Non-cash
stock compensation charges accounted for approximately $1,815,000, or 95%, of the increase in expense for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Preclinical development expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 include between $3,000,000 and $3,500,000 for studies initiated to address the clinical hold on our AMPAKINE CX717 by the FDA. The FDA placed
the clinical hold on CX717 in late March 2006 due to concerns over preclinical animal data. We submitted a response to the FDA in early September 2006 and the FDA removed the clinical hold in early October 2006. In agreeing to the removal of the
hold, we committed to an FDA specified dose range for CX717. These dose limitations delayed our planned clinical trials with CX717 in ADHD. We have generated substantial data from additional toxicology studies over the past several months that
demonstrate that the toxicological issues previously identified seem to occur postmortem and are directly related to the fixative interaction with the cells as they die. We plan to submit such data to the FDA in March 2007 to mutually determine if
we may perform clinical investigations at higher doses of the compound.

Excluding the non-cash stock compensation charges discussed above, our total research and development
expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 were consistent with those for the prior year with amounts related to addressing the clinical hold on CX717 offset by decreased clinical development expenses.

Our general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased from approximately $3,376,000 to approximately $4,616,000, or
by 37%, compared to the prior year, with non-cash stock compensation charges producing the increase. Total non-cash stock compensation charges for the current year increased by approximately $1,249,000 from the prior year.

Net interest income of approximately $646,000 in fiscal year 2006 was consistent with net interest income of approximately $637,000 for the prior year.

Years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 (unaudited)

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, our net loss of approximately $11,606,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $6,234,000 for the prior year.

Revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 decreased to approximately $2,577,000 from approximately $4,275,000, or by 40%, from the prior
year mostly due to the end of scheduled research support under the October 2002 amendment to the agreement with Servier. Under that amendment, we received $1,500,000 during the prior year. We continue to receive approximately $2,298,000 of annual
research revenues under our October 2000 collaborative research agreement with Servier, as amended to date.

Research and development
expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 increased to approximately $11,361,000 from approximately $8,386,000, or by 35%, compared to the corresponding prior year period. Most of the increase reflects expenses incurred for
preclinical and clinical development of the AMPAKINE compounds, including AMPAKINE CX717, which entered three Phase IIa clinical trials during 2005: in adult patients with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, in
patients with mild to moderate Alzheimers disease and in patients subjected to shift work schedules with minimal recovery sleep times. Expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 also include costs for additions to our research
staff and an increase in sponsored research at academic laboratories.

General and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2005 increased to approximately $3,376,000 from approximately $2,821,000, or by 20%, from the prior year period. Most of the increased expenses reflect fees related to preparing for our assessment of our internal control system as
of December 31, 2005, as required by The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Net interest income increased in fiscal year 2005 due to an
increase in cash available for investing following our net proceeds of approximately $10,400,000 from the private placement of our common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock in December 2004.

Other expenses for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 represent non-cash charges for the change in estimated value of warrants issued in
connection with our private equity financings in December and January 2004, respectively, as explained more fully in Note 3 to the Financial Statements.

Six Months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 (unaudited)

For the six months ended December 31, 2004, our net loss
of approximately $4,046,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $3,806,000 for the corresponding prior year period.

##### Table of Contents

Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2004 decreased to approximately $1,896,000 from
approximately $4,593,000, or by 59% compared to the corresponding prior year period, mostly due to the $2,000,000 milestone received from Organon in the prior year period in order for Organon to retain its rights to our AMPAKINE
technology in the field of depression. Research revenue from Servier decreased during the six months ended December 31, 2004 relative to the six months ended December 31, 2003 due to the end of scheduled research support payments under the
October 2002 amendment to the agreement. The final quarterly payment of $500,000 was received during the quarter ended September 30, 2004.

Research and development expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2004 increased to approximately $5,010,000 from approximately $2,929,000, or by 71% compared to the corresponding prior year period, mostly reflecting expenses
incurred for the Phase I clinical testing of the AMPAKINE CX717 that commenced in May 2004. Expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2004 also included amounts related to the addition of our Chief Medical Officer in late
August 2004.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2004 decreased to approximately $1,598,000
from approximately $1,984,000, or by 19% compared to the corresponding prior year period. Non-cash stock compensation charges for the six months ended December 31, 2003 of approximately $829,000 mostly represented the estimated fair value for
the vesting of warrants issued earlier with a professional services agreement. Excluding these non-cash stock compensation charges, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2004 increased to approximately
$1,530,000 from approximately $1,155,000, or by 32% compared to the corresponding prior year period. Expenses for the prior year period reflected cost reductions in an effort to conserve cash prior to the private placement of common stock in August
2003.

Specifically, these cost reductions included the acceptance of stock options in lieu of a portion of base salary by three executive
officers during the months of July and August 2003, as initially implemented in February 2003. Additionally, in September 2003, the Chief Executive Officer accepted stock options in lieu of his entire base salary, as previously reduced, for the
months of May through August 2003. Resultant salary expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2003 reflected the non-payment of his salary for the months of July and August and the reversal of his earlier accrued salary expenses for the
months of May and June 2003. Options to purchase an aggregate of 22,729 shares of common stock were issued to the executive officers in connection with the waived amounts during July and August, and the waived salary for the Chief Executive Officer
from May through August 2003.

The Board of Directors also waived all cash payments of director compensation for Board meetings held during
calendar year 2003, which contributed to the decreased administrative expenses for the prior year period. In lieu of those payments, options to purchase an aggregate of 120,000 shares of our common stock were issued to non-employee directors as of
the date of the 2002 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Net interest income for the six months ended December 31, 2004 increased to
approximately $167,000 from approximately $13,000 for the corresponding prior year period due to an increase in cash available for investing from our private placement in January 2004.

Other income for the six months ended December 31, 2004 represents the change in estimated value of warrants issued in connection with the private
equity financing in December 2004, as explained more fully in Note 3 to the Financial Statements.

Year ended December 31, 2004 (unaudited) and Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2004

For the year ended December 31, 2004, our net loss of approximately $6,234,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $5,994,000 for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2004, with the increase primarily attributable to decreased research revenues, as discussed more fully below.

Revenues
for the year ended December 31, 2004 decreased to approximately $4,275,000 from approximately $6,973,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, or by 39%, primarily due to a $2,000,000 milestone payment received from Organon during the
year ended June 30, 2004. As detailed above, the related agreement required this payment in order for Organon to retain its rights to our AMPAKINE technology in the field of depression. Research revenues also decreased during the
year ended December 31, 2004 relative to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 due to the end of research support under the October 2002 amendment to the agreement with Servier.

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 of approximately $8,386,000 compared to research and development expenses for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 of approximately $6,305,000, representing an increase of 33%. The increase mostly resulted from charges incurred to develop the second generation AMPAKINE compound, CX717, which entered Phase I
human clinical trials in May 2004. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2004 also reflected increased personnel-related expenses, including amounts to expand our clinical staff.

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 of approximately $2,821,000 compared to general and administrative expenses
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 of approximately $3,208,000, representing a decrease of 12%. The decrease resulted from non-cash stock compensation charges during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 related to the estimated fair
value for the vesting of warrants issued with a professional services agreement.

Net interest income for the year ended December 31,
2004 increased to approximately $303,000 from approximately $149,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, or by 103%, due to the cash available for investing from our private placement completed in January 2004.

Other income for the year ended December 31, 2004 represents a non-cash credit for the change in the estimated value of warrants issued in
connection with the private equity financing in December 2004, as explained more fully in Note 3 to the financial statements.

Other
expenses for the year ended June 30, 2004 represent non-cash charges for the change in the estimated value of warrants issued in connection with the private equity financing in August 2003, as explained more fully in Note 3 to the Financial
Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Under the agreements signed with Servier in October 2000, as amended to date, the collaborative research phase of the agreement ended in early December 2006, but, if Servier selects compounds for further development and commercialization,
we may receive milestone payments based upon successful clinical development of the licensed compounds and royalties on sales in licensed territories. Under the terms of the agreement with Organon, we may receive additional milestone payments based
on clinical development of the licensed technology and ultimately, royalties on worldwide sales.

In August 2003, we completed a private
placement of an aggregate of 3,333,334 shares of our common stock at $1.50 per share and five-year warrants to purchase up to an additional aggregate of 3,333,334 shares at an exercise price of $2.55 per share. We received approximately $4,496,000
in net proceeds from the private placement. The warrants are subject to a call right in our favor to the extent that the closing price of our common stock exceeds $6.00 per share for any thirteen consecutive trading day

period. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we received approximately $2,830,000 of proceeds from the exercise of related warrants. If the
remaining warrants are fully exercised, of which there can be no assurance, these warrants would provide approximately $4,803,000 of additional capital.

In January 2004, we completed a private placement of an aggregate of 6,909,091 shares of our common stock at $2.75 per share and five-year warrants to purchase up to an additional aggregate of 4,490,910 shares at an
exercise price of $3.25 per share. We received approximately $17,500,000 in net proceeds from the private placement. The warrants are subject to a call right in our favor to the extent that the closing price of our common stock exceeds $7.50 per
share for any 13 consecutive trading day period. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we received approximately $1,696,000 from the exercise of related warrants. If the warrants are fully exercised, of which there can be no assurance, these
warrants would provide approximately $12,900,000 of additional capital.

In December 2004, we completed a private placement of an aggregate
of 4,233,333 shares of our common stock at $2.66 per share and five-year warrants to purchase up to an additional aggregate of 2,116,666 shares at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. We received approximately $10,385,000 in net proceeds from the
private placement. The warrants are subject to a call right in our favor to the extent that the closing price of our common stock exceeds $7.50 per share for any 13 consecutive trading day period. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we
received approximately $1,023,000 from the exercise of related warrants. If the remaining warrants are fully exercised, of which there can be no assurance, these warrants would provide approximately $5,327,000 of additional capital.

In January 2007, we completed an offering of an aggregate of 5,021,427 shares of our common stock at $1.12 per share and five-year warrants to purchase
up to an additional aggregate of 3,263,927 shares at an exercise price of $1.66 per share. We received approximately $5,050,000 in net proceeds from the offering. The warrants are exercisable after July 22, 2007 and are subject to a call right
in our favor to the extent that the closing price of our common stock exceeds $3.35 for any 13 consecutive trading day period. If the warrants are fully exercised, of which there can be no assurance, these warrants would provide approximately
$5,418,000 of additional capital.

Cash Proceeds

As of December 31, 2006, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling approximately $9,449,000 and working capital of approximately $7,917,000. As of December 31, 2005, we had cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $17,261,000 and working capital of approximately $14,710,000. The decreases in cash and working capital reflect amounts required to fund operations, partially offset by proceeds from the
exercise of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock.

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $13,724,000 during
the year ended December 31, 2006, and included our net loss for the period of approximately $16,055,000, adjusted for non-cash stock compensation charges (including amounts for adopting SFAS 123(R)) of $3,231,000, depreciation and amortization
charges aggregating approximately $111,000, and changes in operating assets and liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2005, net cash used in operating activities approximated $10,435,000, reflecting our net loss of approximately
$11,606,000 for the period, adjusted for non-cash stock compensation charges (including the change in fair value of common stock warrants) of approximately $231,000, depreciation and amortization charges aggregating approximately $126,000, and
changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash provided by investing activities approximated $7,341,000 during the year ended
December 31, 2006, and primarily resulted from the maturity and sale of short-term investments of approximately $16,922,000, partially offset by the purchase of marketable securities and fixed assets of $9,481,000 and $100,000, respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 2005, net cash provided by

investing activities approximated $3,324,000 during the year ended December 31, 2005, and primarily resulted from the maturity and sale of short-term
investments of approximately $22,928,000, partially offset by the purchase of marketable securities and fixed assets of $19,422,000 and $182,000, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $5,969,000, reflecting proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants to purchase common stock. Net cash
provided by financing activities was minimal for the year ended December 31, 2005 and resulted from the exercise of options to purchase shares of our common stock.

Commitments

We lease approximately 32,000 square feet of research laboratory, office and expansion
space under an operating lease that expires May 31, 2009. The commitments under the lease agreement for the years ending December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 are approximately $532,000, $556,000 and $298,000, respectively. From inception
(February 10, 1987) through December 31, 2006, expenditures for furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements aggregated approximately $3,159,000.

We are committed to approximately $518,000 for sponsored research to academic and other external institutions, of which approximately $484,000 is payable within the next twelve months. Commitments for preclinical and
clinical development expenses approximate $2,600,000, all of which is payable within the next twelve months.

In June 2000, we received
$247,300 from the Institute for the Study of Aging (the Institute), a non-profit foundation supported by the Estee Lauder Trust. The advance partially offset our limited costs for our testing in patients with mild cognitive impairment
that we conducted with our partner, Servier. Provided that we comply with the conditions of the funding agreement, including the restricted use of the amounts received, repayment of the advance will not be required unless we enter an
AMPAKINE compound into Phase III clinical trials for Alzheimers disease. Upon such potential clinical trials, repayment would include interest computed at a rate equal to one-half of the prime lending rate. In lieu of cash, in
the event of repayment the Institute may elect to receive the balance of outstanding principal and accrued interest as shares of our common stock. The conversion price for such form of repayment shall initially equal $4.50 per share, subject to
adjustment under certain circumstances.

Staffing

As of December 31, 2006, we had 25 full-time employees and one part-time employee. We do not anticipate significant increases in the number of our full-time employees within the coming year.

Plant and Equipment

We expect that we will require
modest investments in plant and equipment within the coming year.

Outlook

We anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and the net proceeds from our completed offering of common stock and warrants
in January 2007 will be sufficient to satisfy our capital requirements into 2008. Additional funds will be required to continue operations beyond that time. We may receive additional milestone payments from the Organon and Servier agreements, but
there is no assurance that we will receive such milestone payments within the desired timeframe, or at all. We may also receive funds from the exercise of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. As of December 31, 2006, warrants to
purchase up to approximately 8.3 million shares of our common stock were outstanding. In connection with our completed offering in January 2007, we issued additional warrants to purchase up to approximately 3.3 million shares of our common
stock. If all currently outstanding warrants are fully exercised, of which there can be no assurance, such exercise would provide approximately $30,000,000 of additional capital. See Risk Factors  Risks related to our business We will need additional capital in the future and, if it is not available on terms acceptable to us, or at all, we may need to scale back our research and development efforts and may be unable to continue our business operations.

In order to provide for our longer-term spending requirements, we are presently seeking collaborative or other arrangements with larger
pharmaceutical companies. Under these agreements, we intend that such companies would provide additional capital to us in exchange for exclusive or non-exclusive license or other rights to certain of the technologies and products we are developing.
Competition for such arrangements is intense, with a large number of biopharmaceutical companies



- 37 -

##### Table of Contents

attempting to secure alliances with more established pharmaceutical companies. Although we have been engaged in discussions with candidate companies, there
is no assurance that an agreement or agreements will arise from these discussions in a timely manner, or at all, or that revenues that may be generated thereby will offset operating expenses sufficiently to reduce our short and longer-term funding
requirements.

Because there is no assurance that we will secure additional corporate partnerships, we may raise additional capital through
the sale of debt or equity securities. There is no assurance that funds will be available on favorable terms, or at all. If equity securities are issued to raise additional funds, dilution to existing stockholders may result.

Our proposed products are in the preclinical or early clinical stage of development and will require significant further research, development, clinical
testing and regulatory clearances. They are subject to the risks of failure inherent in the development of products based on innovative technologies. These risks include the possibilities that any or all of the proposed products will be found to be
ineffective or unsafe, or otherwise fail to receive necessary regulatory clearances; that the proposed products, although effective, will be uneconomical to market; that third parties may now or in the future hold proprietary rights that preclude us
from marketing them; or that third parties will market superior or equivalent products. Accordingly, we are unable to predict whether our research and development activities will result in any commercially viable products or applications. Further,
due to the extended testing and regulatory review process required before marketing clearance can be obtained, we do not expect to be able to commercialize any therapeutic drug for at least five years, either directly or through our prospective
corporate partners or licensees. There can be no assurance that our proposed products will prove to be safe or effective or receive regulatory approvals that are required for commercial sale.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently
have any off-balance sheet arrangements within the meaning of Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to certain market
risks associated with interest rate fluctuations on our marketable securities and borrowing arrangement. All investments in marketable securities are entered into for purposes other than trading. We are not subject to risks from currency rate
fluctuations as we do not typically conduct transactions in foreign currencies. In addition, we do not utilize hedging contracts or similar instruments.

Our exposure to interest rate risk arises from financial instruments entered into in the normal course of business. Certain of our financial instruments are fixed rate, short-term investments in government and
corporate notes and bonds, which are available for sale (and have been marked to market in the accompanying financial statements). Changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the investments, however, because these financial
instruments are considered available for sale, all such changes are reflected in the financial statements in the period affected. We manage interest rate risk on our investment portfolio by matching scheduled investment maturities with
our cash requirements. As of December 31, 2006, our investment portfolio had a carrying amount of approximately $7,799,000. If market interest rates were to increase immediately and uniformly by 10% from levels as of December 31, 2006, the
resulting decline in the fair value of fixed rate bonds held within our portfolio would not be material to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Our borrowing consists solely of our advance from the Institute, which is subject to potential repayment in the event that we enter an AMPAKINE compound into Phase III clinical testing as a potential
treatment for Alzheimers disease. Potential repayment would include interest accruing at a discount to

##### Table of Contents

the prime lending rate. Changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of such debt, but, based upon historical activity, such changes are not
expected to have a material impact on earnings or cash flows. As of December 31, 2006, the principal and accrued interest of the advance amounted to approximately $295,000.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Our financial statements and other information
required by this item are set forth herein in a separate section beginning with the Index to Financial Statements on page F-1.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Not
applicable.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the Exchange Act)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance
sheets of Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005
and six months ended December 31, 2004. We have also audited managements assessment, included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. maintained
effective control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO). Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control
over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements, an opinion on managements assessment, and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects. Our audit of financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating managements
assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinions.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitation, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as of
December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and six months ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, managements assessment that Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 is fairly stated, in all material
respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control  Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Furthermore, in our opinion, Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control  Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

As discussed in Note 1, as of January 1, 2006, the Company changed its method of accounting for stock-based compensation, in accordance with the requirements of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, using a modified prospective application.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Stockholders and Board of Directors

Cortex Pharmaceuticals,
Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows of Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for the year
ended June 30, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows of Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for the year
ended June 30, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Information for the Year ended December 31, 2004 and Six Months ended December 31, 2003 is unaudited)

Note 1  Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the Company) was formed to engage in the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative pharmaceuticals for the treatment of neurological and psychiatric
disorders. Since its formation in 1987, the Company has been engaged in research and early clinical development activities.

In January 1999, the Company entered into a research collaboration and exclusive worldwide license agreement with NV Organon (Organon) that will enable Organon to develop and commercialize the
Companys AMPAKINE®technology for the treatment of schizophrenia and depression (Note 5). In October 2000, the Company entered into a research collaboration agreement and an exclusive license agreement with Les Laboratoires Servier
(Servier) (Note 4). The agreements, as amended to date, will enable Servier to develop and commercialize select AMPAKINE compounds for the treatment of (i) declines in cognitive performance associated with aging,
(ii) neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimers disease, and (iii) anxiety disorders. In early December 2006, the Company terminated the research collaboration with Servier. The license agreement with Servier, as amended to date,
will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

From inception through December 31, 2006, the Company has generated only
modest operating revenues, the majority of which it derived from its agreements with Servier and Organon, as further described in Notes 4 and 5, respectively. These agreements contributed 98%, 96%, 95%, 94%, 98% and 97% of total revenues for the
years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the year ended June 30, 2004, respectively.

Under the agreement with Servier, during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and year ended June 30, 2004 the Company recorded research and licensing revenues of
approximately $1,151,000, $2,474,000, $4,075,000, $1,788,000, $2,504,000 and $4,791,000, respectively. During the same periods, the Company incurred direct and indirect expenses for the Servier research collaboration totaling approximately $992,000,
$2,222,000, $2,164,000, $1,082,000, $1,058,000, and $2,139,000, respectively.

Under the agreement with Organon, the Company recorded research and
licensing revenues of $2,000,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2003 and the year ended June 30, 2004. There were no research or license revenues under such agreement for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 or six
months ended December 31, 2004. During the same periods the Company incurred no direct or indirect expenses for the Organon research collaboration.

Cortex anticipates that it has sufficient capital, including the net proceeds from its January 2007 offering of common stock and warrants, to maintain its operations into 2008; however, successful completion of the Companys
development program and its transition, ultimately, to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon obtaining additional financing adequate to fulfill its research and development activities, and achieving a level of revenue adequate to support
the Companys cost structure. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these areas. To supplement its existing resources, the Company likely will need to raise additional capital through the sale of debt or equity. There
can be no assurance that such capital will be available on favorable terms, or at all; if additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, dilution to existing stockholders is likely to result.

The Company is seeking collaborative or other arrangements with additional pharmaceutical companies, under which such companies would provide capital to the Company in
exchange for exclusive or non-exclusive license or other rights to certain of the technologies and products that the Company is developing. Competition for corporate partnering arrangements with major pharmaceutical companies is intense, with a
large number of biopharmaceutical companies attempting to arrive at such arrangements. Accordingly, although the Company is presently engaged in discussions with a number of candidate companies, there can be no assurance that an agreement will arise
from these discussions in a timely manner, or at all, or that any agreement that may arise from these discussions will successfully reduce the Companys short-term or long-term funding requirements.

##### Table of Contents

Basis of Presentation  As reported on the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 10,
2004, the Company changed its fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31. As a result, the Company is reporting a six-month transition period ended December 31, 2004 in order to change its fiscal year to match the calendar year.
Unaudited results for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the six-month period ended December 31, 2003 have been included for comparative purposes.

Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of less than three months when acquired to be cash equivalents.

Marketable Securities  Marketable securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of any tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders equity. The amortized cost
of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization is included in interest income. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on short-term
investments are included in interest income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are included in interest income.

Concentrations of Credit Risk  Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by investing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions.

Furniture, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements  Furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives, ranging from five
to ten years, or the life of the lease, as appropriate.

Long-Lived Assets  The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the total amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and the eventual disposition are
less than the assets carrying amount. The Company did not recognize any significant impairment losses during any of the periods presented.

Revenue Recognition  The Company recognizes revenue when all four of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery of the products and/or services has occurred;
(iii) the fees earned can be readily determined; and (iv) collectibility of the fees is reasonably assured.

The Company recognized research
revenue from its collaboration with Servier (Note 4) as services were performed under the agreement, which included compensation to the Company based upon an annual rate for each full-time equivalent employee that dedicated research to the project.
The agreements provided scheduled quarterly payments to the Company in advance of the period during which the services were to be performed. The Company recorded the resultant revenue from the agreements as it performed the contracted research
services.

The Company records grant revenues as the expenses related to the grant projects are incurred. All amounts received under collaborative research
agreements or research grants are nonrefundable, regardless of the success of the underlying research.

Revenues from milestone payments are recognized
when earned, as evidenced by written acknowledgement from the collaborator, provided that (i) the milestone event is substantive and its achievement was not reasonably assured at the inception of the agreement, and (ii) the Companys
performance obligations, if any, after the milestone achievement will continue to be funded by the collaborator at a comparable level to that before the milestone was achieved. If both of these criteria are not met, the milestone payment would be
recognized over the remaining minimum period of the Companys performance obligations under the arrangement.

If a collaborator develops and markets a product that utilizes the Companys technology, the Company will be
eligible to receive royalties based on net sales of the product, as defined by the relative agreement. The Company will recognize such royalties, if any, at the time that the royalties become payable to the Company from the collaborator.

In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the FASB reached consensus on Issue 00-21. EITF Issue 00-21 addresses the accounting for
arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. Specifically, Issue 00-21 requires the recognition of revenue from milestone payments over the remaining minimum period of
performance obligations under such multiple element arrangements. As required, the Company applies the principles of Issue 00-21 to multiple element research and licensing agreements that it enters into or modifies after July 1, 2003.

In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commissions Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (SAB
104), amounts received for upfront technology license fees under multiple-element arrangements are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of committed services or performance, which approximates the level of efforts
provided, if such arrangements require the Companys on-going services or performance.

Cortex amortized the revenues from Serviers $5,000,000
nonrefundable upfront fee ratably over the research phase of the agreement, as amended, which began in December 2000 and ended in early December 2006.

Employee Stock Options and Stock-Based Compensation Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share Based Payment, using a
modified prospective application. Earlier periods were not restated. SFAS No. 123(R) is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their
fair values.

Prior to adopting SFAS No. 123(R), as permitted, the Company elected to follow APB 25 in accounting for its employee stock options.
According to APB 25, no compensation expense is recognized since the exercise price of the Companys stock options generally equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The Company transitioned to SFAS No. 123 by
utilizing SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation  Transition and Disclosure (SFAS No. 148). In accordance with SFAS No. 148, the Company disclosed the effects of stock-based employee
compensation on reported net income or loss and earnings or loss per share in the footnotes to its annual and interim financial statements.

Given that the
Company previously followed APB 25 and SFAS No. 148 in accounting for its employee stock options, the impact of adopting the expense recognition requirements of SFAS 123(R) was significant to the Companys results of operations, but not
its financial position. The Companys net loss for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and year ended June 30, 2004 includes approximately $3,050,000, $13,000, $41,000,
$35,000, $31,000 and $37,000 of non-cash stock-based employee compensation costs, respectively.

For options granted during the year ended
December 31, 2006, the fair value of each option award was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions:

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Companys stock. The Company also uses historical
data to estimate the expected term of options granted and employee termination rates. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and year ended June 30, 2004, the following pro forma
information regarding net loss and net loss per share has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock plans under the fair value method. The fair value was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model and the following assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and year ended June 30, 2004, respectively: weighted average risk-free interest rates of 4.3%,
3.3%, 3.3%, 2.1% and 2.2%; dividend yields of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Companys common stock of 82%, 65%, 63%, 106% and 105%; and a weighted average life of 5.3 years, 4.8 years, 4.8 years, 3.8 years and 3.8
years:

The estimated weighted average fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005
and 2004, six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the year ended June 30, 2004 was $1.26, $1.63, $1.38, $1.38, $1.96 and $1.95, respectively.

As of December 31, 2006, there was approximately $2,541,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based employee compensation arrangements. That non-cash cost is expected to be recognized over a
weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

The Company continues to follow EITF Issue 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other
than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services, for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees. In accordance with EITF Issue 96-18, these stock options and warrants issued as
compensation for services to be provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. The Company
recognizes this expense over the period in which the services are provided. The Companys net loss for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and year ended June 30, 2004,
includes expenses of approximately $181,000, $154,000, $327,000, $118,000, $858,000 and $1,068,000, respectively, for non-cash stock-based compensation for options issued to consultants and other non-employees.

The Company issues new shares to satisfy stock option and warrant exercises. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31,
2006, 2005 and 2004, six months ended December 31,

2004 and 2003 and year ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $95,400, $215,200, $201,000, $400, $195,000 and $395,500, respectively. The effect of
potentially issuable shares of common stock was not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share given that the effect would be anti-dilutive.

In
March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB 25 (FIN 44 or the Interpretation). As required, the Company
adopted the Interpretation on July 1, 2000. The Interpretation required that stock options that have been modified to reduce the exercise price be accounted for as variable. Prior to release of FIN 44, in December 1998 the Company re-priced
previously issued stock options to purchase approximately 970,000 shares of common stock to a price of $0.375 per share, which represented the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the re-pricing. By adopting the Interpretation, the
Company applied variable accounting for these options until such options were exercised or forfeited.

Of the options re-priced in December 1998, as of
December 31, 2005 options to purchase 129,597 remained outstanding. The variable accounting treatment for these options under FIN 44 was not applied beyond December 31, 2005, when the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), as discussed
above. Additionally, given that all of the re-priced options outstanding as of December 31, 2005 were vested and exercisable, these options were not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R). Consequently, the accounting for the
re-priced options did not impact results of operations beyond December 31, 2005.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, applying the
Interpretation decreased the net loss by $47,200, with no impact on net loss per share. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the effect of applying FIN 44 was an increase in the net loss of $28,600, with no impact on net loss per share.

For the six months ended December 31, 2004, applying the Interpretation increased the net loss by $19,700, with no impact on net loss per share. For
the six months ended December 31, 2003, the effect of applying FIN 44 was an increase in net loss of $35,100 with no impact on net loss per share. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, applying the Interpretation increased the net loss
by $44,000, with no impact on the net loss per share.

Research and Development Costs  All costs related to research and development
activities are treated as expenses in the period incurred.

Comprehensive Income In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, all components of comprehensive loss, including net loss, are reported in the financial statements in the period in which they are recognized. Comprehensive loss is defined as the
change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Net loss and other comprehensive loss, including unrealized gains and losses on investments, are reported net of any related tax effect to
arrive at comprehensive loss.

Net Loss per Share  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, Earnings
per Share (SFAS 128), net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

As of
December 31, 2006, the Company has reserved approximately 18 million shares of common stock for issuance upon exercise of outstanding stock options and stock purchase warrants, as well as for conversion of the Companys Series B
preferred stock, as further described in Note 3. The effect of the potentially issuable shares of common stock was not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share given that the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Use of Estimates  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure 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 amounts may differ from those estimates.

Pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreements entered into in connection with each of the above transactions, within defined timelines the Company was
required to file, and did file, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the resale of all of the common stock purchased and the common stock
underlying the issued warrants, including the common stock underlying the placement agents warrants.

The registration rights agreement for each
transaction further provides that if a registration statement is not filed or does not become effective within the defined time period, then in addition to any other rights the holders may have, the Company would be required to pay each holder an
amount in cash, as liquidated damages, equal to 2% per month of the aggregate purchase price paid by such holder in the private placements for the common stock and warrants then held, prorated daily.

The registration statement for each transaction was filed and declared effective by the SEC within the allowed timeframe. As a result, the Company was not required to
pay any liquidated damages in connection with the initial registration for any transaction.

In accordance with EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed To, and Potentially Settled
In a Companys Own Stock, (EITF 00-19) and the terms of the warrants and the transaction documents, at the closing date for the first transaction, August 21, 2003, the fair value of the warrants was recorded as a liability, with an
offsetting reduction to additional paid-in capital received from the private placement.

The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: no dividends; risk-free interest rate of 3.4%; the contractual life of 5 years and volatility of 100%. The fair value of the warrants was estimated to be $5,000,000 on the closing
date of the transaction. The fair value of the warrants was re-measured at December 8, 2003, the date of effectiveness of the registration statement. The increase in fair value of the warrants of $3,467,000 from the closing date of the
transaction to the effective date of the registration statement has been recorded as a charge to other expense in the Statement of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2004. The warrant liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital
as of the date of effectiveness of the registration statement, or December 8, 2003.

In accordance with EITF 00-19, and the terms of the warrants and
the transaction documents, at the closing date for the second transaction, January 7, 2004, the fair value of the warrants was recorded as a liability, with an offsetting reduction to additional paid-in capital received in the January private
placement.

The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: no dividends;
risk-free interest rate of 3.0%; the contractual life of 5 years and volatility of 96%. The fair value of the warrants was estimated to be $9,521,000 on the closing date of the transaction. The fair value of the warrants was re-measured at
March 18, 2004, the date of effectiveness of the applicable registration statement, with no resulting increase in fair value. The warrant liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital as of the date of effectiveness for the
registration statement, or March 18, 2004.

In accordance with EITF 00-19, and the terms of the warrants and the transaction documents, at the closing
date for the third transaction, December 14, 2004, the fair value of the warrants was recorded as a liability, with an offsetting reduction to additional paid-in capital received in the December private placement.

The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: no dividends, risk-free interest rate of 3.5%;
the contractual life of 5 years and volatility of 88%. The fair value of the warrants was estimated to be $4,466,000 on the closing date of the transaction. The fair value of the warrants was re-measured at December 31, 2004, with a resulting
decrease in fair value.

The fair value of the warrants was re-measured at January 26, 2005, the date of effectiveness of the registration statement,
and the increase in estimated fair value was recorded as other expense in the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2005. As of the effectiveness of the registration statement, the warrant liability was reclassified to
additional paid-in capital, evidencing the non-impact of these adjustments on the Companys financial position and business operations.

For each
private placement transaction, the Company amortized related offering costs until the respective registration statements were declared effective by the SEC. This amortization has been recorded as other expense in the accompanying Statement of
Operations. Once the registration statements were declared effective, the Company reclassified any unamortized capitalized financing costs to additional paid-in capital.

As stated above, the accounting required by EITF 00-19 was triggered by the terms of the Companys agreements for the private placements it completed in August 2003, January 2004 and December 2004,
specifically the potential penalties if the Company did not timely register the common stock underlying the warrants issued in each transaction. The related registration statements were declared effective by the SEC within the contractual deadlines
and the Company incurred no penalties. The application of EITF 00-19 had no impact on the Companys working capital, liquidity, or business operations.

In December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF No. 00-19-2, Accounting for
Registration Payment Arrangements. This FSP specifies that companies that enter into agreements to register securities will be required to recognize a liability if a payment to investors for failing to fulfill the agreement is probable and can
be reasonably estimated. This accounting differs from the guidance in EITF 00-19, which required a liability to be recognized and measured at fair value, regardless of probability.

EITF No. 00-19-2 is effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the financial instruments subject to those arrangements that are entered into or modified after the date of issuance of this FSP. For
the Companys registration payment arrangements and financial instruments subject to those arrangements that were entered into prior to the issuance of this FSP, the guidance will be effective beginning January 1, 2007.

Transition to EITF 00-19-2 is to be achieved by reporting a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained
earnings. For purposes of measuring the cumulative-effect adjustment related to the recognition of a contingent liability, the Company will evaluate whether the transfer of consideration under its registration payment arrangements is probable and
can be reasonably estimated as of the January 1, 2007 adoption date. Given that the Company does not deem the transfer of consideration under its existing registration payments arrangements as probable as of December 31, 2006, the Company
does not anticipate recording a cumulative-effect adjustment in connection with the adoption of this FSP.

In connection with an employment agreement with
an executive officer, in August 2004 the Company issued 100,000 restricted shares of its common stock (Restricted Shares). The Restricted Shares were scheduled to vest in equal installments over a four-year period from the date of
issuance and were subject to forfeiture in the event that employment of the executive officer terminated before the applicable vesting dates. The fair market value of the Restricted Shares as of the issuance date, or $213,000, was recorded as
deferred compensation and related expense was being amortized over the vesting period. As of December 31, 2005, 25,000 Restricted Shares had vested with a fair value of approximately $62,000 and 75,000 Restricted Shares remained unvested. When
the executive officer resigned from the Company during the year ended December 31, 2006, another 25,000 Restricted Shares had vested with a fair value of $76,000 and 50,000 Restricted Shares were forfeited. In connection with the resignation,
in December 2006 the unamortized balance of deferred compensation of approximately $89,000 was reclassified into additional paid-in capital. No additional Restricted Shares were granted during the years ended December 31, 2005 or 2006.

In connection with the engagement of a consultant for capital raising purposes, in December 2002 the Company issued a five-year warrant to purchase
200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.67 per share. This warrant became exercisable during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 and the Company recorded non-cash expense of approximately $660,000. Warrants to purchase a total
of 162,000 shares of the Companys common stock were exercised during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, resulting in proceeds of approximately $109,000. The remaining warrants to purchase a total of 38,000 shares of the Companys
common stock were exercised during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, resulting in proceeds of approximately $25,000.

In connection with the
engagement of a consultant for investor relations purposes, from February 2003 through June 2003 the Company issued five-year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 116,000 shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $0.88 per
share. In connection with the same agreement, from July 2003 through June 2004 the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 48,000 shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $2.95 per share. From July 2004 through December 2004,
the Company issued warrants to purchase another 24,000 shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $2.33 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company issued warrants to purchase another 8,000 shares of
common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $2.765 per share. The above warrants are fully exercisable and resulted in expense of approximately $13,000, $34,000, $107,000 and $62,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, six
months ended December 31, 2004 and the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The exercise prices for the above warrants were derived from the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date of issuance.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, related warrants to purchase a total of 55,000 shares of the Companys common stock were exercised, resulting in proceeds of approximately $43,000.

Stock Option and Stock Purchase Plan

The Companys 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the 1996 Plan), which terminated pursuant to its terms on October 25, 2006, provided for the granting of options and rights to purchase up to an aggregate
of 10,213,474 shares of the Companys authorized but unissued common stock to qualified employees, officers, directors, consultants and other service providers. Options previously granted under the 1996 Plan generally vest over a three-year
period, although some options granted to officers included more accelerated vesting. Options previously granted under the 1996 Plan generally expire ten years from the date of grant, but some options granted to consultants expire five years from the
date of grant.

On March 30, 2006, the Companys Board of Directors approved the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2006
Plan), which subsequently was approved by the Companys stockholders on May 10, 2006. Since the approval of the 2006 Plan, no further options have been or will be granted under the 1996 Plan. The 2006 Plan provides for the granting
of options and rights to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,863,799 shares of the Companys authorized but unissued common stock (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, such as stock splits, recapitalizations and reorganization) to
qualified employees, officers, directors, consultants and other service providers.

Under the 2006 Plan, the Company may issue a variety of equity vehicles
to provide flexibility in implementing equity awards, including incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock grants, stock appreciation rights, stock payment awards, restricted stock units and dividend equivalents. The
exercise price of stock options offered under the 2006 Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. If the person to whom an incentive stock option is granted is a 10% stockholder of the Company on
the date of grant, the exercise price per share shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant. Vesting and expiration provisions for options granted under the 2006 Plan are similar to those under the 1996 Plan.

Subject to any restrictions under federal or securities laws, the Chief Executive Officer may award stock options to new non executive-officer employees
and consultants, with a market value at the time of hire equivalent to up to one time the employees annual salary or consultants anticipated consulting fees. The Chief Executive Officer shall have the discretion to increase or decrease
such awards based on market and recruiting factors subject to a limit per person of options to purchase 50,000 shares. Additionally, on an annual basis, the Chief Executive Officer may grant continuing employees and consultants, based upon
performance and objectives, a stock option for that number of shares up to 40% of the employees annual salary or the consultants fees, but not to exceed 50,000 shares per person per year. Any option grant exceeding 50,000 shares per
person per year requires approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. These options shall be granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date of issuance, have a
ten-year term, vest annually over a three-year period from the dates of grant and have other terms consistent with the 2006 Plan.

Prior to 2006, each
non-employee director (other than those who serve on the Board of Directors to oversee an investment in the Company) was automatically granted options to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock upon commencement of service as a director and
additional options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock on the date of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. However, due to a change in the Companys fiscal year from June 30 to December 31 and the timing of the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, these automatic grants were made at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in December 2005, but not at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in May 2006. There were no option grants to the non-employee directors during 2006. Subsequent to
December 31, 2006, the date for the automatic annual grant of options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock was changed to the date of the first meeting of the Board of Directors for the relative calendar year. Stock option issuances to
non-employee directors who serve on the Board of Directors to oversee an investment in the Company are determined separately. The nonqualified options to non-employee directors have an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the
common stock on the date of grant, have a ten-year term and vest in equal increments of 33% on the anniversary dates of the dates of grant.

As of
December 31, 2006, options to purchase an aggregate of 6,207,243 shares of common stock were exercisable under the Companys stock option plans. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, six-month period ended
December 31, 2004 and the year ended June 30, 2004 the Company did not issue options to purchase shares of common stock with exercise prices below the fair market value of the common stock on the dates of grant.

Stock option transactions under the Companys stock option plan for the year ended June 30, 2004, the six-month period ended December 31, 2004 and the
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 are summarized below:

Stockholder Rights Plan

On February 5, 2002, the Companys Board of Directors approved the adoption of a Stockholder Rights Plan to protect stockholder interests against takeover strategies that may not provide maximum stockholder
value. A dividend of one Right for each outstanding share of the Companys common stock was distributed to stockholders of record on February 15, 2002. Each share of common stock presently outstanding and issued since February 15,
2002 also includes one Right. Each share of common stock that may be issued after the date hereof but prior to the Distribution Date (as defined below) will also include one Right. The Rights automatically attach to outstanding shares of common
stock detailed above and no separate certificates are issued. The Rights trade only together with the Companys common stock.

##### Table of Contents

Each Right allows its holder to purchase one one-thousandth of a
share (a Unit) of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $75.00 per Unit. The Rights are not currently exercisable, but will become exercisable on the 10thbusiness day following the occurrence of certain events relating to a person or group (Acquiring Person) acquiring or attempting to acquire
fifteen percent (15%) or more of the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock (the Distribution Date). If the Rights become exercisable, then any Rights held by the Acquiring Person are void. In such event, each other
holder of a Right that has not been exercised will have the right upon exercise to purchase shares of the Companys common stock (or common stock of the Acquiring Person in certain situations) having a value equal to two times the exercise
price of the Right. Unless redeemed or exchanged earlier by the Company, the Rights expire on February 15, 2012.

The Company has 35,000 shares of
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock authorized (35,000,000 Units), of which no shares or Units are issued or outstanding at December 31, 2006. Each Unit would entitle the holder to (A) one vote, voting together with the shares of
common stock; (B) in the event that the Companys assets are liquidated, a payment of $1.00 or an amount equal to the payment to be distributed per share of common stock, whichever is greater; and (C) in the event of any merger,
consolidation or other transaction in which shares of common stock are exchanged, a payment in the amount equal to the payment received per share of common stock. The number of Rights per share of common stock, and the purchase price, are subject to
adjustment in the event of each and any stock split, stock dividend or similar event.

Note 4  Research and License Agreement with Les
Laboratoires Servier

In October 2000, the Company entered into a research collaboration agreement and an exclusive license agreement with Les
Laboratoires Servier. The agreements will allow Servier to develop and commercialize select AMPAKINE compounds for the treatment of (i) declines in cognitive performance associated with aging, (ii) neurodegenerative diseases
and (iii) anxiety disorders. The indications covered include, but are not limited to, Alzheimers disease, mild cognitive impairment, sexual dysfunction, and the dementia associated with multiple sclerosis and Amyotrophic Lateral
Sclerosis. In early December 2006, the Company terminated the research collaboration with Servier. However, the exclusive license agreement with Servier, as amended to date, will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. The
territory covered by the exclusive license excludes North America, allowing Cortex to retain commercialization rights in its domestic market. The territory covered by the exclusive license agreement also excludes South America (except Argentina,
Brazil and Venezuela), Australia and New Zealand.

In connection with the agreements, Servier paid Cortex a nonrefundable, up-front payment of $5,000,000.
The upfront payment was amortized as revenue over the research support period, as extended by the amendments entered into in October 2002 and December 2003. The October 2000 agreements included research support through early December 2006, subject
to Cortex providing agreed-upon levels of research. The amount of support was subject to annual adjustment based upon the increase in the U.S. Department of Labors Consumer Price Index. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the maximum
annual support from the October 2000 agreements, as amended to date, was approximately $2,298,000. The agreements also include milestone payments based upon clinical development and royalty payments on sales in licensed territories.

In October 2002, Servier agreed to provide Cortex with $4,000,000 of additional research support, in exchange for rights to the Companys AMPAKINE
compounds for the potential treatment of anxiety disorders, in Serviers licensed territories. The $4,000,000 was received in quarterly installments of $500,000 over a two-year period, with the final payment received during the quarter ended
September 30, 2004.

Note 5  Research and License Agreement with NV Organon

In January 1999, the Company entered into a research collaboration and exclusive worldwide license agreement with NV Organon. The agreement will enable Organon to develop
and commercialize the Companys proprietary AMPAKINE technology for the treatment of schizophrenia and depression.

In connection with
the Organon agreement, the Company received an up-front payment of $2,000,000. The agreement also included support of approximately $3,000,000 per year for the period from January 1999 through January 2001, during which time the Company provided
research services to Organon.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, the Company received its first milestone under the agreement, triggered
when Organon selected an AMPAKINE compound to pursue in Phase I clinical testing as a potential treatment for schizophrenia. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, Organon notified Cortex of its intent to continue developing
the selected compound by entering Phase II clinical testing, triggering a second milestone payment of $2,000,000, which the Company received in September 2001. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, Organon paid Cortex another $2,000,000
milestone in order to retain its rights to Cortexs AMPAKINE technology in the field of depression. Cortex remains eligible for additional milestone payments based upon further clinical development of the licensed technology by
Organon, and ultimately, royalties on worldwide product sales, if any. Unless terminated earlier, the agreement continues until the expiration of all of Organons royalty obligations, which continue until the expiration of patents covering the
AMPAKINE technology or compounds licensed under the agreement.

Note 6  Advance from the Institute for the Study of Aging

In June 2000, the Company received $247,300 from the Institute for the Study of Aging (the Institute) to fund testing of the Companys
AMPAKINE CX516 in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Patients with MCI represent the earliest clinically-defined group with memory impairment beyond that expected for normal individuals of the same age and
education, but such patients do not meet the clinical criteria for Alzheimers disease. The Institute is a non-profit foundation based in New York City and dedicated to the improvement in quality of life for the elderly.

As the funding from the Institute must be used solely for the clinical trials conducted with the Companys partner Servier, in MCI patients, Cortex recorded the
amounts received as restricted cash in the Companys balance sheet. Provided that Cortex complies with the conditions of the funding agreement, repayment of the advance shall be forgiven unless Cortex enters one of its AMPAKINE
compounds into Phase III clinical trials for Alzheimers disease. Upon such potential clinical trials, repayment would include the principal amount plus accrued interest computed at a rate equal to one-half of the prime lending rate. In lieu of
cash, in the event of repayment the Institute may elect to receive the outstanding principal balance and any accrued interest thereon as shares of Cortex common stock. The conversion price for such form of repayment shall initially equal $4.50 per
share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Included in the balance sheet is accrued principle and interest of $295,468 and $285,630 and at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Note 7  Commitments

Note 8  Related Party
Transactions

During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and year ended
June 30, 2004, the Company paid scientific and other consulting fees to directors and/or stockholders aggregating approximately $174,000, $196,000, $199,000, $101,000, $26,500 and $58,800, respectively. Under certain circumstances, the Company
is obligated to make royalty payments to certain of its scientific consultants, some of whom are stockholders, and to one employee, upon successful commercialization of certain of its products by the Company or its licensees.

Note 9  Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of
accounting for income taxes as set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had federal and California tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $64,500,000 and $41,700,000,
respectively. The difference between the federal and California tax loss carryforwards is primarily attributable to the capitalization of research and development expenses for California franchise tax purposes. The federal and California net
operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates from 2007 through 2026. The Company also has federal and California research and development tax credit carryforwards totaling approximately $1,500,000 and $700,000, respectively. The federal
research and development tax credit carryforwards will expire at various dates from 2007 through 2026. The California research and development tax credit carryforward does not expire and will carryforward indefinitely until utilized.

The Companys effective tax rate is different from the federal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to operating losses that receive no tax benefit as a result of a
valuation allowance recorded for such losses.

Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, use of the Companys net operating loss
carryforwards may be limited if a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% occurs within any three-year period since the last ownership change. The Company may have had a change in control under these Sections. However, the Company does not
anticipate performing a complete analysis of the limitation on the annual use of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards until the time that it projects it will be able to utilize these tax attributes.

Significant components of the Companys deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005
are shown below. A valuation allowance of $30,060,000 as of December 31, 2006 has been established against the Companys deferred tax assets as realization of such assets is uncertain. The increase in the valuation allowance of $6,442,000
from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2006 relates primarily to continuing net operating losses.

In June 2006, The FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an
Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. Interpretation No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a
tax return. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with Interpretation No. 48 involves determining whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based upon the technical merits of the
position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition
threshold, the financial statements do not recognize a benefit for that position.

As required, the Company will adopt Interpretation No. 48 during
the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The Company does not anticipate that adoption will result in a material impact to its results of operations or its financial condition.

Note 11  Subsequent Events

In January 2007, the Company completed a registered direct public offering with several institutional investors for shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase common stock for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $5,624,000. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $5,050,000. Under the terms of the transaction, the Company sold an aggregate of 5,021,427 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 3,263,927 shares of common
stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.66 per share and, subject to the terms therein, will be exercisable at any time after July 22, 2007 and on or before January 21, 2012. The warrants are subject to a call provision in favor
of the Company to the extent that the closing price of its common stock exceeds $3.35 for any 13 consecutive trading-day period. If the warrants are fully exercised, of which there can be no assurance, these warrants would provide approximately
$5,418,000 of additional capital.
