PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS

General

Hydromer, Inc (the “Company”) is a bio-polymer research and development company organized as a New Jersey Corporation in 1980 for the purposes of developing polymeric

complexes for commercial use in the medical, commercial, cosmetics and veterinary sciences markets.

Until September 1982, approximately 99% of the outstanding common stock, without par value (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, was owned by Biosearch

Medical Products Inc. (“BMPI”), which in turn was controlled by Manfred Dyck, who is the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer, Director and the Chairman of the Board.

On September 16, 1982, BMPI distributed its shareholdings in the Company pro rata to the holders of its common stock. In connection with this distribution, the Company granted to

BMPI an exclusive, worldwide perpetual, royalty-free license for the use of Hydromer technology in connection with the development, manufacture and marketing of

biomedical devices for enteral feeding applications. On February 4, 2000, the Company acquired all outstanding stock of BMPI for $0.20 per share, and now manages BMPI as a

subsidiary.

The Company owns several process and applications patents for Hydromer^® coatings (“Hydromer”). These polymers become extremely lubricious (slippery) when wet.

Techniques have been developed for grafting or applying this substance onto a broad variety of materials, including other polymers like polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride,

and silicone elastomers, ceramics and metals. The Company has also been issued patents for permanent anti-fog materials, hydrophilic polyurethane foams,

hydrophilic polyurethane blends, hydrophilic polyvinylbutyral alloys, several biocompatible hydrogels and an anti-bacterial medical material. Currently, the Company has

two patent applications pending. The Company continues to actively evaluate other new market opportunities for its polymer technology specifically in neurology and cardiology.

The Company also owns various trademarks, including AQUADAPT^®, a medical hydrogel, AQUAMERE^®, a water resistant film former product with cosmetic applications,

AQUATRIX^®, a cosmetic hydrogel, Dermaseal^®, a dermal barrier film product for the prevention of contact dermatitis, Sea-Slide^®, a coating for watercraft hulls, and

T-HEXX^®, a barrier teat dip product for the prevention of mastitis in dairy animals.

The Company’s patents are typically broad based, having a multitude of different applications across various industries. Accordingly, the Company currently

operates in the medical, commercial, cosmetics and veterinary sciences markets.

MEDICAL

From its inception in 1980 to mid-1984, the Company was primarily engaged in R&D activities related to Hydromer coatings used on medical devices. Since then and

until the acquisition of BMPI, the Company’s business in the medical field consisted of the sale of lubricious coatings and the licensing of its lubricious coating

technologies. With the acquisition of BMPI in February 2000, the Company now offers a horizontally integrated breadth of services including medical device

manufacturing, contract coating, equipment building and design, and as of more recently, R&D servicing and government contracts.

The Company continues to focus on its coatings technologies as the nucleus of its participation in the medical field. As of June 30, 2006, the Company has three

patents pending, one on an anti-microbial coating and two on teat dip technology. The Company was granted a patent on water-based lubricious coatings in fiscal 2006.

HYDROMER^® Lubricious Coatings

When treated with Hydromer polymers, a medical device becomes very slippery when wet, allowing for easy insertion into any orifice of the body, in penetration of the

skin or for device-on-device (i.e. guidewire-catheter) use. Hydromer coatings are permanently bonded to the device unlike silicone lubricants, which must be applied

after each use and are often left behind in the bloodstream and body cavities. Hydromer coatings can also be coated on complex surfaces and on the inside walls of

devices, unlike the treatments by major competition. Hydromer has also been shown in numerous studies to reduce the risk of thrombogenesis or clot formation on devices.

Drugs and other substances can be readily incorporated into Hydromer, both in a bound and unbounded fashion, allowing for controlled release from the device for

therapeutic purposes or the creation of permanent biocidal or biostatic surfaces. The Company believes that the polymer-water interface of Hydromer provides surface

lubricity superior to the quality of other currently marketed silicone-based lubricants to treat medical devices.

Option and License Agreements

A portion of the Company's revenues is derived from option and license agreements (see “Patents and Trademarks” section). Option agreements provide customers the

right for a finite period of time (i) to use the Hydromer process to determine whether the customer's products lend themselves to treatment with the process and (ii)

to test market such products. The option agreements have also given the customers the right to subsequently enter into a license agreement with the Company

and to the market product(s) treated with Hydromer, which typically provides the Company an initial flat fee, followed by periodic royalty payments based on sales.

The Company has previously reported license agreements in effect and expiring relating to applications of the Hydromer as follows: Annual Report on Form 10-K for the

fiscal years ended June 30, 1983 through 1996 and Form 10-KSB for fiscal years ended 1997 through 2005.

As of June 30, 2006, the Company has license agreements with seven companies covering the application of Hydromer coatings to the following devices: enteral feeding

products, guidewires, certain urological devices, infusion microcatheters, central venous catheters, guiding and umbilical catheters, razor

cartridges (non-medical related), orthodontic accessories, angioplasty balloon catheters, embolization delivery devices, inter/intra-ocular lenses and biliary

and pancreatic stents. The Company is actively seeking new licensing opportunities.

Licensee/Application

Applied Medical - certain urological and vascular devices

Corneal, Ltd. - inter-ocular lenses

Eveready - Schick / Warner / Wilkinson Sword Ltd. - razor cartridges

Gallini - certain urological devices

MXM - intraocular lens inserter systems

Nemed - inter-ocular lenses

Tyco International / Kendall HealthCare Products - certain urological devices and enteral feeding systems

Supply and Support Agreements

In order to avail our customers to a continued material source or of technical support on our products, certain supply or support agreements may be entered into.

Depending on the specific requirements of each agreement, the Company would provide continued support in terms of product availability or technical know-how,

some including the escrow of formulas or data with independent agents.

Hydrogels, Drug Delivery, Wound Dressing

Applications of the Company’s Hydrogels are being developed for wound care, implants, drug delivery, burn care, conductive hydrogel electrodes, ultrasonic

couplants and cosmetic uses for several customers. The Company is also identifying strategic partners to offer hydrogel coating services to clients who does

not have rolled goods coating capability and to license Hydrogel technology for cosmetic and medical use, including drug release.

The Company’s hydrogel technology offers biocompatibility, flexibility, and ease of use and processing. It also allows for the stabilization of biomolecules, cell cultures,

drugs and other active substances without potentially damaging external energy sources. It is absorbent, inherently self-adhesive but peels away cleanly and is naturally

soothing. Other than our bio-adhesives and medical coatings, which are one part systems, to form the gel entails simply to mix the two parts together - no heat, no chemical

cross linkers nor expensive high energy processing is required. Many competitive technologies are much more process intensive and require external energy to crosslink.

The Company believes these products are synergistic to our existing hydrogel technologies, and offer further opportunities in electrodes and internal and topical

actives delivery. The Company has a pilot coating machine to facilitate the commercialization of its hydrogel technologies. The Company is exploring other medical and

dental as well as cosmetic applications for this technology.

Aquadapt^® is the Company’s hydrophilic polyurethane foam technology. The Company has 510K approvals from the FDA for medical use applications in the U.S.

The Company also has a patent on its chitosan-PVP hydrogel technology as well as patents granted in 2000 and 2002 on polyaldehyde hydrogels.

OEM Medical Devices

Through its Biosearch Medical Products subsidiary, ISO 13485 certified and FDA registered, the Company offers 510K/CE marked medical devices. The current product

portfolio includes: bipolar coagulation probes; jejunal, enteral and biliary catheters and stents; feeding accessories; guidewires; biofeedback devices for fecal and urinary

incontinence; and endoscopic accessories. The Company also contract manufactures products for several large multi-national marketers of medical devices on an OEM basis.

HYDROMER^® Coating Services

The acquisition of BMPI allowed for the Company to realize another venue of revenues: Coating Services. Utilizing the acquired medical device manufacturing know how

and by applying its coatings technologies, the Company began offering Coating services, in which the Company coats third party devices with its own lubricious coatings.

The Company’s knowledge in coatings technologies allows for it to coat various types of material, such as silicone, stainless steel, Pebax and polypropylene cost effectively,

whereas some of the competition is unable to. A global client is using this service in the urology market.

The Company continues to expand its activity in Coating services and is actively seeking new opportunities to provide contract development, coating and manufacturing

services to the medical, commercial and personal care industry, utilizing its Hydromer and Anti-Fog coating technology and expertise. The Company further continues to

believe that these services will enable a broader range of customers to use our materials in market on accelerated timelines in a more cost effective manner.

R&D and Engineering Services

The medical device market continues to undergo a shift toward consolidation by very large multi-national players with small, entrepreneurial start-up companies looking to

exploit niche opportunities or unique device designs. The Company’s experience and knowledge can significantly speed development, assessment and market readiness for

our clients, large and small through its research and development and engineering services.

For example, for medical devices such as coronary stents and brain catheters, the Company can develop the coatings, including drug eluting coatings, establish the manufacturing

protocols, design and build the coating equipment, start up scale prototype production and eventually transfer the process assisting the customer in the transition.

The Company believes that offering prototyping, process development and small-medium scale coating/ manufacturing services is fundamental to the expansion of the

Hydromer coatings business, and a strategic imperative. The Company will endeavor to become a “one stop” supplier of high performance coatings and services.

INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL

Hydromer Anti-Fog/Condensation Control is an optical coating which prevents the accumulation of vision-obscuring condensation under high humidity conditions.

The Company is selling this material in bulk to manufacturers of greenhouse panels, refrigerator freezer doors, industrial and medical safety and swim goggles,

aircraft windows, automotive headlight assemblies and gauge and meter manufacturers in the U.S. and internationally, including China.

The Company also offers Sea-Slide^®, a Hydromer-based drag reducing coating that reduces friction between hull and water, and can be used over most anti-fouling paints.

A U.S. patent covering this coating and other potential uses was issued in 1987. Independent testing has confirmed that this technology significantly improves fuel

economy and the hull speed of watercraft. Sea-Slide is marketed through HammerHead Products, Inc., via an exclusive distribution agreement.

COSMETICS

The Aquamere^® series of the Company’s cosmetic intermediaries are sold to major cosmetic companies worldwide for use in hair dyes, hair conditioners, mascaras, eye shadows,

sunscreens and body lotions. They are currently in test for use in shampoos, hair styling aids, OTC dermal drug delivery and topical disinfectants. The Aquamere series of

cosmetic polymer solutions, introduced in 1988, are both aqueous and hydro-alcoholic based systems. They are also offered with cationic and silicone grafted modifications.

Formulations have also been developed internally utilizing this technology and are being offered for sale as turnkey products to smaller marketers of personal care products.

The Company’s Dermaseal^® line, a patented film-forming hydrogel technology, is currently being sold to major cosmetic companies as a base for foundations and other skin

care products. It is also being tested for use in broader skin care, cosmetic and OTC drug delivery. Dermaseal is the registered trademark for barrier film compositions,

patented in fiscal 2000 along with the method for preventing contact dermatitis. Clinical testing has demonstrated that these compositions protect the user from the effects

of contact with poison ivy, oak or sumac plant allergens. Technical testing has also demonstrated protection from latex proteins, nickel and other contact allergens.

In 2006, the Company added a unique anti-microbial polymer to its product line. When used for beauty cosmetics, contamination and infections can be reduced.

VETERINARY SCIENCES

In Fiscal Year 1999, the Company’s polymer technology was used to launch the Company’s entry into the Animal Health field to combat clinical and sub-clinical mastitis, a

problem that costs U.S. Dairy farmers an estimated $3-5 billion per year. Marketed under the T-HEXX^® brand, initially through U.S. licensees, the T-HEXX Barrier Dips and Sprays

offer dairy farmers exceptional value and unsurpassed protection as the first no-drip and water resistant barrier products on the market preventing environmental water

containing mastitis-causing organisms, including mycoplasma, from reaching the teat surface. The Company has received three patents for its unique barrier teat dip compositions

with an application on a fourth patent pending.

The annual U.S. market for barrier teat dips is estimated to be $100-130 million at the farm level. The T-HEXX Barrier products contain protocol-proven active ingredients that

kill mastitis-causing bacteria within 30 seconds of contact while continuing to remain active up to 12 hours later. T-HEXX Barriers are superior performers in its niche market

while priced comparably or less than barrier dip products manufactured by the leading sanitary chemical companies in the world. Our products are compatible with existing

mechanical equipment and milking procedures and most importantly, are easily removed using traditional pre-milking methods. Based on field tests, our product has

been demonstrated to stay on the cow teat better than the competition, protecting the cow during the complete 8-12 hour milking cycle.

In fiscal 2002, the Company launched a complementary product, T-HEXX^® Dry Teat Protection Sealant, to protect cows during the non-lactation (“dry cow”) period. T-HEXX

Dry is used as a non-irritating low-cost sealant during the dry-off and the critical pre-calving period where it is estimated that over 50% of new mastitis cases are believed to start.

T-HEXX Dry is the first dry cow dip product with an antimicrobial that remains on the teat for 3-7 days. Clinical studies show that T-HEXX Dry is impervious to

National Mastitis Council (NMC) recognized mastitis-causing organisms for seven days, yet is comparably priced to existing dry cow teat sealants that does not offer such

protection. Our product is suggested to be used on cows just prior to their release to the dry cow pen, in conjunction with existing antibiotic therapy or internal teat sealants.

In fiscal 2004, two customers launched our Dry product under their private-label name, reflecting the strength of our product.

Patent pending and under development is a T-HEXX teat plug, which when launched, would allow the Company to provide complete protection against mastitis for the

entire bovine working cycle.

The Company has invested significantly in clinical research, patents, promotion, vendor partnerships and advertising via print media, trade shows and the Internet to

support this business and continues to do so. In fiscal 2004, the Company initiated a claim against a former licensee and other parties citing infringement on the

Company’s patented technology in this area. In total, through June 30, 2006, the Company spent approximately $510,000 ($257,000 in fiscal 2006) in direct legal costs,

which has been expensed in the related year’s results. Settlement was made in early calendar 2006, with the discounted value on $300,000 recorded in Other Income.

Products

Coating solutions for use on medical devices, cosmetic intermediaries, hydrogels and teat barrier dips/sprays are manufactured and sold by the Company to its licensees

and others. The Company is selling bulk quantities of anti-fog solution to manufacturers of greenhouse panels, refrigerator freezer doors, swim goggles, industrial safety

equipment, aircraft

windows and meter covers, both in the U.S. and foreign countries. The Company also sells OEM medical devices through its Biosearch Medical Products subsidiary.

The Company has no long-term contracts with any of its suppliers and believes that there are adequate alternative sources of supply available for all raw materials that it currently uses.

Dependence Upon Customers

The Company derives its revenues from two primary business segments: (1) polymer research and the products derived there from, and (2) the sales of medical products.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, the Company recognized revenues from two major customers: Johnson & Johnson’s Cordis Division and

Cook Endoscopy, formerly Wilson Cook Medical, Inc.

Product sales and/or royalty payments and support fees from these customers accounted for 32% and 29% of the Company’s total revenues for the years ended June 30, 2006

and June 30, 2005, respectively.

Potential Applications

The Company continues to explore other applications of the complexing capabilities of polymeric substances, such as anti-microbial agents. The Company currently is

working on further applications of its patented technologies to existing products of other companies, including cosmetics, wound dressings, personal care and a wide

variety of medical devices, including vascular stents. Some of these products and applications are in the preliminary development stage and are subject to substantial

further development before their feasibility can be verified.

On the basis of its market analyses, as well as laboratory and in-vitro testing of certain applications of Hydromer, the Company believes that Hydromer's potential product

applications, classified with reference to salient Hydromer characteristics, are as follows:

1. Low Coefficient of Friction. Hydromer is a hydrophilic coating which when contacted by water becomes extremely lubricious. The Company believes that this unique

feature would prove beneficial to any medical device that is inserted into the body. Medical products that would so benefit include:

urinary products - urethral catheters, stents and urinary drainage systems;

rectal products - enemas, rectal tubes, examination gloves and proctoscopy devices (disposable);

nasal/oral products - suction catheters, oxygen catheters and endotracheal tubes;

cardiovascular and related products - grafts, cardiac assist catheters heart-lung tubing, stents.

2. Ability to be Complexed with Other Functional Chemicals. The Hydromer hydrophilic polymer coating can be complexed with other chemicals. For example,

Hydromer coating complexed with iodine forms an effective anti-microbial barrier. The Company believes that this unique feature would lend itself to application on a

wide variety of currently marketed medical products, including vascular stents, Foley catheters, wound drains, wart and corn dressings, burn dressings, intravenous

catheters, surgical dressings and adhesive bandages. One of the Company’s recent patents in the coating area, issued in April 2000, involves the covalent bonding of

infection resistant materials into the coating, providing a non-leaching, anti-infective surface. The Company was also granted a patent in July 2003 for covalently

bonded radio-opaque polymeric compositions to improve the radio-opacity of materials without needing high solid loading, metal plating or ion implantation for applications

like stents and vascular catheters.

3. Cross-link Density Can be Controlled. The Hydromer hydrophilic polymer coating, through controlled cross-linking, has been further developed into a special anti-fog

coating. Such a coating is (a) resistant to fogging under a wide range of temperature/humidity conditions; (b) transparent and has heat/light stability; (c) long lasting,

i.e., will not chip or peel and offers more scratch resistance than do most commercial plastics; (d) inert to most commercial glass cleaners; (e) less prone to static

dirt pickup; and (f) applicable by dip, spray or roll coating. A U.S. Patent for this material was first issued to the Company in August 1984 (patent expired). This

anti-fog product has use on greenhouse panels, refrigerator freezer doors, sports goggles, windows, mirrors and other products, either by direct application or by

coating of an adhesive backed film.

Research and Development

The Company's research and development activities presently are, and during the next year are expected to be devoted primarily to the development and enhancement of the

products described above and to the design and development of new products, either for its own account, jointly with another company or strictly as a sub-contractor.

The Company sponsors all of such activities from its own internal funding or through charges to the contracting company. The major portion of R&D expenses was

applied toward salaries and other expenses of personnel employed on a regular basis in such work. See the "Employees" section.

Competition

The Company considers the most significant competitive factors in its market for its patented coatings to be product capability and performance (including reliability

and ease of use), in addition to price and terms of purchase.

The Company currently owns nineteen process and applications patents for Hydromer coatings (see "Patents and Trademarks"). Although the medical products

market is highly competitive, the Company does not believe that there is any other product available which performs functions significantly better than those

which are performed by the Company in terms of lubricity, complexing capabilities, durability and cost.

While management believes the Company has a strong position in the market for medical device coatings in which it competes, and that its hydrophilic foam,

anti-fog coatings and hydrogel products are technologically superior to other products in the market, there can be no assurance that alternatives, with similar

properties and applications, could not be developed by other companies. The Company is aware that there are other similar

technologies available and/or being developed by others. The industry in which the Company competes is characterized by rapid technological advances

and includes competitors that possess significantly greater financial resources and research and manufacturing capabilities, larger marketing and sales staffs

and longer established relationships with customers than the Company does, at present or will for the foreseeable future.

Marketing

The Company markets its products and services through five principal means:

1. Commercialization of its existing technologies: The Company intends to expand its efforts to market its current technology to the medical, industrial, personal

care and veterinary sciences markets. The Company has expanded its capabilities to prototype and manufacture for customers to demonstrate the value of Hydromer

technology. The Company will also seek opportunities to apply its technology in new applications where the technology will offer a benefit. Further, the

Company will seek customers for technologies that have been developed but are not currently generating revenue, capitalize on the technology that has been

created through its R&D efforts and to expand the application of current technologies.

2. Sale of Development Services: The Company intends to continue moving its effort away from straight technology licensing and toward contract product

development, contract manufacturing and coating services (see “5. Coating Services”). The Company has significant expertise in polymer development and applications.

By exhibiting at an increased number of trade shows in the medical device fields, the Company expects to generate interest in its technology and products, with a view

toward acting as an outside product development arm and development supplier for companies in these fields.

3. Joint Development: The Company will continue to seek joint development programs, co-marketing programs and other business arrangements with potential partners.

4. Licensing: The Company will continue its endeavors to license its technology to current market leaders in the medical device, pharmaceutical and other fields, whereby

the Company will grant exclusive or non-exclusive rights for the Hydromer coating treatment of existing or new products, and the development of specific products

utilizing its foam and hydrogel technology under its patents. In return, the Company generally would earn royalties based on sales of such treated or new products.

Such licenses will usually be very narrow. The activities leading to the consummation of a license agreement normally are lengthy and require establishing a

scientific dialogue with potential customers, treating samples supplied by that customer with Hydromer coatings, determining if the treatment is feasible and cost

effective, testing the coated products in a laboratory and then negotiating a mutually acceptable option agreement. An option fee may be paid by the customer which

would give the customer exclusive rights to use the Hydromer treatment on the specified product for a specified period. During such period, the optionee can test market

the coated product and/or determine its ability to treat the product in its own manufacturing process. If the customer determines that the subject product should be treated

with Hydromer coating on a commercial basis, it may either perform the Hydromer coating treatment itself under a license agreement with the Company, through the

Company’s Contract Coating unit or it may have a third party perform the Hydromer coating treatment.

5. Coating Services: The Company will serve the customer who needs products coated with lubricious or anti-fog coatings in production runs that are economically

feasible without substantial investments in fixturing and automation. Typically this would be prototypes or runs of low volume, high value products. Higher volume

products could be accommodated if they were physically small and did not require extensive fixturing or because for technical reasons they could not be automated

and were of high enough value to warrant the added cost. The Company will pursue large volume projects if they fall within a technical area where the Company has

particular expertise.

Business segments in Coating Services which are of particular interest include medical devices (catheters and guidewires) and transparencies (lenses, face shields).

Contacts will be pursued in conjunction with marketing of Hydromer coatings, at trade shows, in mass mailings and advertisement in appropriate trade publications.

The Company is continually upgrading its advertising copy and promotional literature as needed to graphically highlight the properties and advantages of its technologies.

The same marketing tools (traditional means of tradeshow contacts, mass mailings, advertising, promotional activities, etc.) as well as alternative methods (such as the Internet)

are used by the Company in its focus of expanding sales globally to the medical, commercial, personal care and veterinary sciences community.

Patents and Trademarks

Management believes that the protection afforded by the Hydromer patents will be a significant factor in the Company's ability to market its products. Anticipating

patent expiration, the Company has focused on licensing and developing products based upon its newer technologies. A U.S. patent was issued in October 1985 for a

hydrophilic polyurethane foam that is expected to have numerous medical applications. Foreign patents covering this material were issued in July 1990. A U.S. patent for

hydrophilic polymer blends, which covers the Company's coating for boats and the cosmetic formulations, was issued in February 1987. U.S. and foreign patents have

also been issued for an anti-bacterial medical material that can be incorporated in foam or as a coating. The Company was issued a U.S. patent for non-leaching biostatic

coatings and three United States patents for its new composition, barrier film, and method for preventing contact dermatitis developed by the Company’s research and

development staff. The Company has also been issued United States and foreign patents for a permanent anti-fog. The Company also has two patents for Chitosan gels,

which expires in 2014. These patents are part of the new gel technology with applications in medical, industrial, cosmetic and personal care markets. The Company was issued

three U.S. Patents for barrier teat dip compositions.

One U.S. patent that contributed approximately $2,100,000 in annual royalties expired on May 6, 2005. The Company was successful in reaching new supply or support

agreements with all four former licensees of the expired patent for an approximate annual value of $1,500,000. These new supply/support agreements have

varying terms and cancellation provisions. It is the Company’s practice to replace any discontinuances of income stream with other sources, including new product

revenues, new service revenues and other license or contract revenues.

One new patent was awarded to the Company during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. This patent covers the application of water based surface modifications for use in

lubricity, anti-microbial, drug release, hydrogel, radio-opaque, animal care and unique anti-fog/anti-frost applications.

As of June 30, 2006, the Company has 19 U.S. patents, three U.S. applications and various foreign counterparts.

The Company owns the registered trademarks “Aquadapt”, “Aquamere”, “Aquatrix”, “Dermaseal”, "Hydromer", “Sea-Slide” and “T-HEXX” in the United States and other

countries.

Employees

As of June 30, 2006, the Company and its subsidiary had eighty-five active full-time employees. The Chief Executive Officer is Manfred F. Dyck, who is also Chairman of the Board.

The Company does not have a collective bargaining agreement with any of its employees and considers its relationship with its employees to be very good.

Government Regulations

The uses of the Company's medical, agricultural and cosmetic products come under the jurisdiction of the FDA, as well as other federal, state and local agencies, and similar

agencies in other countries.

In connection with the Company's license agreements, it is generally the obligation of the licensee to conform to any required FDA pre-market notification or other regulations.

To the Company's knowledge, all such licensees who are marketing FDA regulated licensed products are in such compliance. The Company may in the future desire to

market additional applications of Hydromer to existing products, or products introduced by it, which may be subject to such FDA approval procedures as proof of safety

and effectiveness of the applications or products, or adherence to prescribed design standards. There can be no assurance that such approvals would be forthcoming or of

compliance with such standards. Any such failure to obtain approvals or non-compliance might have a significant adverse effect on the Company. However, the

Company intends to make every effort to obtain all necessary approvals and to comply with such standards, and in the case of its licensed applications, to require the

licensees to obtain such approvals.

The Company manufactures medical products through its Biosearch Medical Products subsidiary (“Biosearch”), whose activities come under the jurisdiction of the FDA.

It is the policy of the Company to use the FDA regulations as guidelines during manufacturing of Hydromer coatings.

The Company is also subject to federal and state regulations dealing with occupational health and safety and environmental protection. It is the policy of the Company to

comply with these regulations and be responsive to its obligations to its employees and the public.

The Company’s electronically filed reports are available at www.sec.gov.

Item 6. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The below discussion analyzes major factors and trends regarding the results of operations and the financial condition of the Company as of June 30, 2006,

and its results of operations for the prior fiscal period. It should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto.

Revenues for the year ended June 30, 2006 were $7,869,729 as compared to $8,501,374 for the same period last year, a decrease of $631,645 (-7.4%).

Product sales and services revenues were $5,933,167 for the 2006 fiscal year as compared to $6,200,992 the prior fiscal year, a 3.4% decrease or $207,825.

License royalties and option payments were $1,876,562 in fiscal 2006, down 18.4% from fiscal 2004’s results of $2,300,382.

Management Comment: Lower customer orders in the medical device business negated the fiscal 2006 growth from our contract coating services and medical coating sales.

In fiscal 2006, there were two medical device customers with reduced volume: one which is transferring their orders to in-house production and the second, who purchased the

OEM product line from another of our customers, lost focus on the product line during the transition. The Company expects a turn around from these particular customers,

as in the former, the Company will replace lost medical device revenues with the sales of lubricious coatings (along with a cost reduction to staffing from to the elimination of a

product line). With regards to the second customer, the Company has brought to their attention of the business reduction and we are currently working on re-establishing

volume. In addition, there was an one-time $250,000 in technology transfer revenues in fiscal 2005.

The Company’s patent 4,642,267 expired on May 6, 2005. It was the subject of four licenses which provided approximately $1.9 million of royalty and option income in

fiscal 2005. The Company was able to enter into supply agreements or support fees, with varying terms and termination conditions, with all four of the licensees,

recovering $1.6 million of the former royalty stream in fiscal 2006.

Total Expenses for the year ended June 30, 2006 were $8,649,106, $416,913 or 5.1% higher than fiscal year 2005’s results of $8,232,123.

Cost of Goods Sold was $3,526,039 for fiscal 2006 as compared to $3,228,875 for fiscal 2005. Operating expenses were $5,494,366 and $4,783,188, for the years ended

June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. There was a $238,172 impairment of goodwill charge in fiscal 2006. Fiscal 2006 includes Other income of $143,974 compared with

Other Expenses of $109,995 in fiscal 2005. There was a Benefit from Income Taxes of $465,497 in fiscal 2006 as compared with a provision for Income taxes of $110,065 for

the twelve months ended June 30, 2005.

Management Comment: A change in the Company’s inventory standard costs impacted the beginning fiscal 2006 inventory value by $138,459, which is included in the fiscal

2006 Cost of Sales. Higher wages and benefits paid added another $99,879 to Cost of Sales in fiscal 2006. A portion of the capital expenditures incurred have been for equipment

to automate production -- to increase productivity. The redesign of various medical devices, including that of the component materials used, is expected to reduce a portion

of Cost of Sales in the future. This initiative is underway and first requires the acceptance of the redesign by our customers.

The capitalization of [inventory] overhead on higher June 30, 2005 ending inventory levels reduced fiscal 2005 Operating Expenses by $290,112. A SBIR (Small Business

Innovation Research) grant of $93,650 further reduced fiscal 2005 costs. These reductions to the fiscal 2005 costs were compounded with higher fiscal 2006 expenses,

primarily of $82,885 in higher litigation expenses related to our patent infringement claim (see below and the following page) and a $74,900 bad debt write-off relating to

R&D services performed in 2005 which is now deemed uncollectible, yielding the large swing that we see in Operating Expenses year-over-year. Our patent infringement

claim against a former licensee and other parties has been settled, entailing over $509,000 expended in legal fees since 2004. Taking this action not only substantiated the

validity of our patents, but put the world on notice that we would not allow for infringement of our intellectual property. With the settlement, we are now able to focus

on selling our products with reduced concerns of counterfeit products stealing our markets once we establish them. We do not anticipate any significant amounts to

be spent further on this matter. Also included in Operating Expenses is the Company’s investment into Research and Development (primarily salaries and benefits)

of $1,000,987 and $1,012,091, or 18.2% and 21.2% of total Operating Expenses,

for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and the amortized investment on the patent estate ($144,327 and $151,175 for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively).

After years of realized synergies, the most recent evaluation of the Company’s carrying value of goodwill, created from the acquisition of Biosearch in 2000, determined an

impairment of goodwill of $238,172, recorded in the year ended June 30, 2006, eliminating the remaining balance of goodwill carried. There was no required charge for the year

ended June 30, 2005. This charge in fiscal 2006 did not provide for a current tax benefit resulting in a lower tax benefit realized.

Other income in fiscal 2006 includes $284,238, the discounted value on $300,000, from the settlement of a patent infringement case against a former licensee and other parties.

Reducing Other income is interest expense from the Company’s mortgage loans and Line-of-Credit borrowings, which is the primary component of Other Expenses for fiscal 2005.

An Income Tax Benefit was recorded for the year ended June 30, 2006 based on the pre-tax loss. This benefit includes provisions for federal income taxes, state income taxes

and R&D tax credits as offset by the non-current deductibility of the impairment of goodwill charge (which resulted in a deferred tax asset, however as realization is highly

unlikely, a valuation allowance fully reserving for the benefit has been recorded). This compares with a tax provision for the year ended June 30, 2005.

A Net Loss of $779,377 is reported for the 2006 fiscal year compared with Net Income of $269,251 for the 2005 fiscal year.

A Net Loss of $779,377 or $0.17 per share is reported for fiscal 2006 as compared with Net Income of $269,251 or $0.06 per share for fiscal 2005.

Management Comment: Lower revenues combined with higher expenses, including an impairment charge of $238,172 to goodwill, as reduced by a tax benefit arising from the

operating loss, resulted in a net loss of $779,377.

The conclusion of various matters (patent infringement costs, impairment of goodwill charges) and the cost reduction initiatives underway along with new developments

and projects, is expected to improve the Company’s results down the road.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital as of June 30, 2006 was $970,112, down from $2,471,207 the prior year.

Long-term investments (capital expenditures and the funding of the patent estate) along with the working capital needs arising from operations decreased working capital

during the 2006 fiscal year.

Management Comment: We continue our re-investment back into the Company, primarily in terms of R&D (personnel as well as equipment) and to our patent estate, to support

future growth of our business. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Company expended $338,283 for capital expenditures and $213,449 in patent and trademarks costs.

In addition, long-term debt was reduced by $177,679.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Hydromer, Inc. and Subsidiary

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Hydromer, Inc. and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the related statements of income, stockholders’

equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended June 30, 2006. 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 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence

supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by

management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hydromer, Inc. and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2006 and

2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two in the two-year period ended June 30, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally

complexes for commercial markets in both the United States and abroad for the medical, cosmetics, veterinary sciences and industrial fields. The Company obtains patent

rights on certain products from which royalty revenues are received. Its wholly owned subsidiary, Biosearch Medical Products, Inc., a U.S. based corporation, is an OEM

manufacturer for various medical products companies as well as the manufacturer of its own line of endoscopic products sold to hospitals, domestically and internationally,

through a network of dealers. The Company also offers R&D, engineering and contract coating services in its array of capabilities.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hydromer, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions

have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Short-Term Investments

Short-term investments consist of investments other than cash and cash equivalents with original maturities of greater than three months and less than one year. There were

no short-tem investments as of June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in, first-out method, or market and include appropriate amounts of labor and overhead.

Depreciation

The cost of property and equipment, which includes a reasonable portion of labor costs for equipment built in-house, is depreciated on a straight-line method over the

estimated useful lives of the assets: 5-10 years for machinery and equipment, 3-5 years for furniture and office equipment and 40 years for the building. When assets are

retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income

for the period. Repairs and maintenance which do not extend the useful lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred.

Patents

Expenses associated with patents are prepaid and amortized over the expected life of the patent, typically 20 years. Prepaid expenses associated with patents which are

not approved or abandoned are expensed in the period in which such patents are not approved or abandoned. Maintenance fees associated with existing patents are

written off over 12 months. Amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $144,327 and $151,175, respectively. One new patent was granted during

the year ended June 30, 2006.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of Biosearch Medical Products, Inc. over the fair market value of their net assets at the date of acquisition and through

June 30, 2002, was amortized on the straight line method over 40 years. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill

and Other Intangible Assets, on July 1, 2002 in which goodwill is no longer amortized but tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. The carrying value is reviewed

if the facts and circumstances, such as significant declines in sales, earnings or cash flows or material adverse changes in the business climate, suggest that it may be impaired.

If this review indicates that goodwill will not be recoverable, the impairment is determined by comparing the carrying value of goodwill to fair value. Fair value can be

determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or appraisals. The Company uses the present value of expected future cash inflows method.

During the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company determined that the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeded its fair value. A goodwill impairment loss of $238,172

was recognized. As of June 30, 2006, the original goodwill balance has been fully written off.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment as required under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company

reviews for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. The Company assesses these assets

for impairment based on estimated future cash flows from these assets.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from product and services sales are recognized at the time of shipment or services rendered provided that collection of the resulting receivable is probable. Revenues

from royalties are recognized upon the sale of certain products by licensees with whom the Company has licensing agreements. Contract Revenues, which includes

payments from Option, Supply or Support agreements that are typically based on time frames, are recognized in the periods to which it pertains. Deferred revenues are

recorded when agreements call for payment ahead of when the amounts are earned.

Shipping and Handling Charges

The Company includes costs of shipping and handling billed to customers in Revenues and the related expense of shipping and handling costs in Cost of Sales.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred except for tangible assets, such as printed advertising materials, which are expensed as consumed. Advertising expense

was $42,671 and $47,267 for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Research and Development

Research and development costs, primarily employee salaries and benefits, are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses. The amounts

charged to expense for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were approximately $1,000,987 and $1,040,110, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

As permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for

Stock Issued to Employees, (“APB 25”) and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock option plans. Under APB 25, no compensation expense is

recognized at the time of option grant when the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equals the fair market value of the underlying common stock

on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company is accounting for stock options under SFAS No. 123(R) (see footnote 2. “New Accounting Pronouncements”)

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to

differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return

Hydromer, Inc. & Subsidiary

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future federal and state income taxes.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common

stock shares outstanding during the period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect

the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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 results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification

Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation.

2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, on January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123(R) establishes the standards for transactions where an entity exchanges its

equity instruments for goods or services. This standard requires an issuer to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments

based on the grant-date fair value of the award and eliminated the exception to account for such awards using the intrinsic method previously allowable under APB No. 25.

SFAS No. 123(R) requires all equity compensation to be expensed during the related periods. There were no transactions subject to the accounting of SFAS No. 123(R) this year.

[Missing Graphic Reference]

3. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT AND BUSINESS RISK

The Company is exposed to additional credit and business risks due to its concentration of activity with certain parties. For example, at times throughout the year, the Company

may maintain certain bank accounts in excess of FDIC insured limits.

In addition, the Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers. Ongoing credit evaluations of its customers are performed, and allowances for

doubtful accounts are based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

For the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company sold products and services and collected royalty income, totaling 29% of its total revenues, to two customers, Cordis

Neurovascular Systems and Cook Endoscopy (formerly Wilson Cook Medical, Inc.) who individually accounted for 18% and 14%, respectively, of the consolidated revenues.

There were no outstanding accounts receivable from these customers at June 30, 2006.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 Cordis Neurovascular Systems and Cook Endoscopy individually accounted for 15% and 14%, respectively, of total revenues.

Accounts receivable from these customers accounted for 22% of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2005.

The Company’s patent 4,642,267 expired on May 6, 2005. This patent was the subject of four licenses with a total annual royalty income to the Company of approximately $2.1

million. The Company was able to enter into supply agreements or support fees, with varying terms and termination conditions, with all four of the licensees, valued at $1.5

million annually. Patent no. 4,769,013, the subject of three royalty licenses, expired during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and another patent (no. 4,875,287 with one royalty

license) is to expire in November 2006. The total annual royalty income from these two patents approximated $0.1 million.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

8. LONG-TERM DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITY

The Company’s facility is financed by a ten-year mortgage note bearing interest at a 6.52% fixed rate. The note amortizes with monthly payments and is secured by the

real estate and improvements and all rents from leases subsequently entered into. As of June 30, 2006, the book value of the real estate and improvements was $2,327,405.

The last complete appraisal was conducted in 2003 and reflected a market value of $3,200,000.

On June 30, 2005, the Company closed on a long-term financing facility of $1,990,000 in the form of a second mortgage on its property. This facility has a ten year term with

a 6.38% fixed rate. $886,414 was used to pay off a construction loan/continuing loan provided by New Millennium Bank with the remainder put in short-term investments or

to be used for working capital and possible acquisitions. The facility was financed through Wachovia Bank, NA which also holds a $555,000 first Mortgage on the Company's

property.

As of June 30, 2006, the Company did not meet certain financial ratios required under the loan documents. A waiver has been granted by the lender.

The Company also has a revolving line of credit agreement with a financial institution, which allows borrowings of up to $750,000, secured by all trade receivables and inventories.

The line bore interest, payable monthly at LIBOR plus 3.15% until June 2005 at which was then reduced to LIBOR plus 2.25%. As of June 30, 2006, the interest rate was 7.59%.

This line had a maturity date of July 31, 2006 which was extended until January 31, 2007 during the year at the same terms. As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, $656,255 and $206,663

were outstanding on the line of credit respectively.

Long-term debt is comprised of the following:

		June 30,
		2006		2005
Mortgage note	$	438,234.	$	483,321.
Second Mortgage Loan		1,857,407.		1,990,000.
Less: Current Maturities		(202,204)		(178,029)
Long-term Debt, Net of Current Maturities	$	2,093,437.	$	2,295,292.

Total maturities of long-term debt are as follows:

2007	$	202,204
2008		215,393
2009		230,182

2011		262,060
Thereafter		1,140,198
	$	2,295,641

[Missing Graphic Reference]

9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because

of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates its carrying value as it is based on or about the current rates

offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities with similar collateral requirements.

Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature

and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the

estimates.

10. INCOME TAXES

The income tax (benefit) provision is comprised of the following:

		Federal		State		Total
Year Ended June 30, 2006
Current	$	(71,185)	$	2,907.	$	(68,278)
Deferred		(296,253)		(100,966)		(397,219)
	$	(367,438)	$	(98,059)	$	(465,497)
Year Ended June 30, 2005
Current	$	1,513	$	5,764.	$	7,277
Deferred		90,843		11,945.		102,788
	$	92,356	$	17,709.	$	110,065

The Company’s deferred tax asset and liability as presented in the Company’s financial statements are comprised of the following temporary differences:

		June 30,
		2006		2005
Deferred Tax Asset
Net Operating Losses	$	345,510.	$	201,628.
Adjustment of Goodwill		196,069.		100,800.
Research & Development Credits		346,643.		9,829.
Valuation allowance		(371,820)		(220,268)
Total Deferred Tax Assets		516,402.		91,989.

Deferred Tax Liability
Depreciation		(271,058)		(243,864)
Total Deferred Tax Liability	$	(271,058)	$	(243,864)

Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The differences

relate primarily to depreciable assets (using accelerated depreciation methods for income tax purposes). The Company’s adjustment to Goodwill in 2004 and 2006 created

a deferred tax asset, which although has an indefinite life, has been fully reserved for as realization of its benefit is unlikely.

The Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $144,051 and $508,813 for Federal and State tax purposes respectively. These net operating loss carry

forwards may be used to reduce federal and state taxable income and tax liabilities in future years and expire in various years through June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2011 for

Federal and State tax purposes, respectively. In addition, the Company has Research and Development Tax Credits for State tax purposes of approximately $329,643 which

expires in various years through June 30, 2019.

The Company’s provision for income taxes differs from applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate to the income before income taxes. The primary differences

result from providing for state income taxes, generation of allowable tax credits and from deducting certain expenses for financial statement purposes but not for federal

income tax purposes.

PRO FORMA INFORMATION

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company followed the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. Accordingly, no

compensation expense has been recognized for stock options issued. Had compensation expense for the options which vested in 2006 and 2005 been determined based

on the fair value at the grant date commensurate with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income and net income per share for 2006 and 2005, respectively,

would have been reflected as to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

		2006		2005
Net (Loss) Income:
As reported	$	(779,377)	$	269,251
Pro forma		(809,460)		209,396
Basic (Loss) Income per Share:
As reported	$	(0.17)	$	0.06
Pro forma		(0.17)		0.05

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for

grants in 2006 and 2005, respectively: dividend yield of 0% and 0%; expected volatility of 115% and 115%; risk-free interest rate of 5.1% and 4.1%; and expected lives of

5 years in both years.

12. RETIREMENT PLAN

The Company sponsors a qualified 401(k) plan covering substantially all full time employees under which eligible employees can defer a portion of their annual compensation.

The Company determines annually, the amount of matching contributions, which recently has been 25% on 6% of the employees’ salary. The Company’s matching

contribution made to the plan during the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $35,094 and $22,929, respectively.
