CAPRIUS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY

The Company is engaged in the infectious medical waste disposal business. During the first quarter ended December 2002, we acquired a majority interest in M.C.M. Environmental Technologies, Inc. (“MCM”) which developed, markets and sells the SteriMed and SteriMed Junior compact systems that simultaneously shred and disinfect Regulated Medical Waste. The SteriMed Systems are sold and leased in both the domestic and international markets.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Caprius Inc., and subsidiaries (“Caprius”, the “Company) as of March 31, 2007, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and for the six month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the six month period ended March 31, 2007 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary to make the presentation of the Company’s condensed financial position, results of operations and cash flows not misleading. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 20, 2006.
  
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF CERTAIN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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.

Stock-Based Compensation

On October 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," ("SFAS 123R"), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”). SFAS No. 123R supersedes APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based upon their fair values. As a result, the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock options with pro forma footnote disclosure, as allowed for under SFAS No. 123, is no longer permitted.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method, which requires the Company to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption, and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. Accordingly, prior period amounts have not been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. After assessing
 
7

 
alternative valuation models and amortization assumptions, the Company chose to continue using the Black-Scholes valuation model and recognition of compensation expense over the requisite service period of the grant.

The Company recorded total stock-based compensation of $104,550 from October 1, 2006, through March 31, 2007 for options granted and vested.  The $104,550 has been included in selling, general and administrative expense. As of March 31, 2007 the fair value of the unvested stock options amounted to $905,716 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.2 years.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the weighted average fair value of options. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $0.36. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $1.36. The assumptions utilized to determine the fair value of options at the date of grant are indicated in the following table.

Prior to October 1, 2006, the Company's stock-based employee compensation plans were accounted for under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"), and related Interpretations, as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," ("SFAS 123").

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, as was permitted under SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," which amended SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements as defined by APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations including FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB No. 25." Under the intrinsic value method, no stock-based compensation expenses had been recognized as the exercise price of the grants equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, the Company recorded compensation expense in general and administrative expenses amounting to $610 and $1,220 respectively, related to stock options granted to employees. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006:

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”, which provides for the calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings (loss) per share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur through the effect of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and convertible securities. As of March 31, 2007 and 2006, potential issuable common shares amounted to 16,492,471 and 4,681,190 respectively, and have not been included in the computation of diluted loss per share since the effect would be antidilutive. The potential common shares issuable as of March 31, 2007 and 2006 are outlined below:

Revenue Recognition

The medical infectious waste business recognizes revenues from either the sale or rental of its SteriMed units. Revenues for sales are recognized at the time that the unit is shipped to the customer. Rental revenues are recognized based upon either when services are provided for each month of activity or evenly over the year in the event that a fixed rental agreement is in place.

NOTE 5 - STOCK OPTIONS

In May 2002, our Board of Directors adopted the 2002 Stock Option Plan (“2002 Plan”) which was ratified at our stockholder meeting of June 26, 2002. At September 30, 2006, 700,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2002 Plan, of which options for an aggregate of 506,050 shares were granted and outstanding, and 193,950 shares were available for future grants. Between October 1, 2006 and February 23, 2007, options were granted under the 2002 Plan for an aggregate of 1,180,000 shares, of which 1,036,050 shares were granted subject to stockholder approval of an increase in the number of shares of common stock underlying the 2002 Plan. On December 1, 2006, the Board of Directors voted to amend the 2002 Plan by increasing to 1,500,000 the total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder, subject to stockholder approval, and on February 23, 2007, the Board raised the number of shares to 2,500,000, subject to stockholder approval. Stockholder approval was obtained as of February 26, 2007 by the written consent of the holders of more than a majority of outstanding voting shares, and notice thereof was given to the other stockholders. Under the 2002 Plan, options may be awarded to employees, directors and consultants. These options may be qualified or not qualified pursuant to the regulations of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
On February 26, 2007, those options that were granted subject to stockholder approval were issued by the Company. These options which were granted to officers, directors and employees are at an exercise price ranging from $0.52 to $0.80 per share. They are for a 10 year term, vesting after six months as to one-eighth of the options granted, and the balance vesting in equal monthly installments over the next forty-two months. The vesting schedule of these options begins, on the date approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. Using the Black Scholes Option pricing model the Company has determined that the fair value of these options range from $0.32 to $0.38 per share which equates to a fair value of approximately $371,000.
 
On March 5, 2007, we re-priced options for the purchase of an aggregate of 458,000 shares which were originally granted on January 4, 2006. The options were originally issued at an exercise price of $2.20 per share and were repriced at $1.10 per share, representing 110% of the then market price of the common stock. Using the Black Scholes Option pricing model, the Company has determined that the additional fair value of these options due to the re-pricing is approximately $53,700. The Company has taken an immediate charge of $15,652 for those options which have previously vested and the balance will be expensed over the remaining vesting period of these options.
 
NOTE 6 - PROMISSORY NOTE

On January 30, 2007, the Company borrowed the principal amount of $100,000, from Special Situations Private Equity Fund L.P., which is a principal stockholder, through the issuance of a 10% promissory note. This note and all accrued and unpaid interest, shall mature and become payable on April 30, 2007. These funds were used for general working capital, until additional funding was secured. As outlined below, the Company secured additional funding on March 1, 2007 through the issuance of Series E Preferred Stock. At that time the Company repaid the promissory note inclusive of interest for the total amount of approximately $100,800.

NOTE 7 - EQUITY FINANCING
 
On March 1, 2007, the Company closed on a $2.5 million preferred stock equity financing before financing related fees and expenses of approximately $106,000. As part of this financing transaction, the Company issued 10,000 shares of Series E convertible preferred stock at $250 a share. Each share of the Series E preferred stock is convertible into 625 shares of common stock, subject to customary antidilution provisions, or an aggregate of 6,250,000 shares of common stock. The Company also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,125,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share for a period of five years. The Company has determined that the preferred stock was issued with an effective beneficial conversion feature of approximately $2,347,000 based upon the relative fair values of the preferred stock and warrants using the Black Scholes valuation model. As such, this beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a deemed preferred stock dividend. The Company has also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 70,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share for a period of five years as part of the placement fee, to a placement agent and its designees, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 112,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share for a period of five years as part of the placement fee to a financial advisor. Using the Black Scholes valuation model the Company has determined that the fair value of these warrants is $0.33 per share which equates to a fair value of approximately $61,000. The fair valuation of these warrants has been accounted for in the Company’s additional paid-in-capital and has no impact on its statement of operations.
 
Pursuant to the 2006 preferred stock placement, the Company issued 241,933 shares of Series D preferred stock, whereby each share was initially convertible into ten shares of common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution provisions. By reason of these anti-dilution provisions, after the Series E preferred stock placement, each non-converted shares of Series D preferred stock is convertible into 17.29 shares of common stock or an aggregate of 3,370,286 shares of common stock. Accordingly, upon the conversion of the remaining shares of Series D preferred stock, the Company will issue an additional 1,420,956 shares of common stock.
 
NOTE 8 - ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY

For the six months ended March 31, 2007, revenue from two customers was approximately $505,000 and $130,000, respectively which represented approximately 44% and 11% of the total revenue.

For the six months ended March 31, 2006, revenue from three customers was approximately $106,000, $80,000 and $65,500 respectively. The revenues generated from these three customers represented approximately 20%, 16% and 13% of the total revenue.

NOTE 10 - LITIGATION

On May 11, 2006, the Company, its subsidiary, M.C.M. Environmental Technologies, Inc. (“MCM”), and George Aaron, CEO of the Company, were served with a complaint filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, by Andre Sassoon and Andre Sassoon International, Inc. (the “Plaintiffs”). The complaint also names all persons who were stockholders of MCM at the time of the Company’s original investment in MCM in December 2002. On June 28, 2006, the Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint to include additional counts. The Plaintiffs are seeking damages in excess of $400,000 or the stock interest of the MCM stockholders at the time of the Company’s acquisition. The Company received a signed protective order and discovery has been undertaken. Based upon its review of the amended complaint, the Company continues to believe the Plaintiffs’ claims have no merit, and the Company, MCM and Mr. Aaron will vigorously defend this action. Accordingly, no accrual has been recorded by the Company as of March 31, 2007.

Results of Operations

As more fully described in the Form 10-KSB for fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, our business operation is classified as medical infectious waste business.
 
Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2006

Revenues generated from MCM product sales totaled $583,303 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $230,106 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase in sales is attributed to the Company’s expanded penetration into several markets that the Company has been developing for its products. Consulting and royalty income from the TDM Business, which was sold in 2002, totaled $56,294 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $41,932 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
 
12

 
Cost of product sales amounted to $370,907 or 64% of total related revenues versus $174,186 or 76% of total related revenues for the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We have not advanced to a level of sales for us to fully absorb the fixed costs related to our revenues. The reduced percentage cost is due to the sales product mix, as well as the Company’s initiatives to reduce costs as the number of units produced increases.
 
Research and development expense decreased to $57,482 versus $94,348 for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. This decrease is due to the completion of the development work necessary for the ramp up of production of the Sterimed and Sterimed Junior.

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $988,126 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 versus $718,099 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase is principally due to increased personnel, the Company’s adoption of FAS 123R which requires the recording of stock based compensation as part of the statement of operations, in which $60,288 was recorded during this period and other costs in connection with sales and marketing.

Interest (expense), income totaled $(6,691) for the six months ended March 31, 2007 versus $3,393 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

The net loss amounted to $783,609 and $711,202 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Six Months Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Six Months Ended March 31, 2006
 
Revenues generated from MCM product sales totaled $1,053,596 for the six months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $447,388 for the six months ended March 31, 2006. This increase in sales is attributed to the Company’s expanded penetration into several markets that the Company has been developing for its products. Consulting and royalty income from the TDM Business, which was sold in 2002, totaled $94,425 for the six months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $65,538 for the six months ended March 31, 2006.
 
Cost of product sales amounted to $679,543 or 64% of total related revenues versus $342,848 or 77% of total related revenues for the six month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We have not advanced to a level of sales for us to fully absorb the fixed costs related to our revenues. The reduced percentage cost is due to the sales product mix, as well as the Company’s initiatives to reduce costs as the number of units produced increases.
 
Research and development expense decreased to $148,565 versus $176,187 for the six month period ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. This decrease is due to the completion of the development work necessary for the ramp up of production of the Sterimed and Sterimed Junior.

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,885,137 for the six months ended March 31, 2007 versus $1,405,653 for the six months ended March 31, 2006. This increase is principally due to increased personnel, the Company’s adoption of FAS 123R which requires the recording of stock based compensation as part of the statement of operations, in which $104,550 was recorded during this period and other costs in connection with sales and marketing.

Interest (expense), income totaled $(5,660) for the six months ended March 31, 2007 versus $7,122 for the six months ended March 31, 2006.

The net loss amounted to $1,570,884 and $1,404,640 for the six month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2007, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents position is $1,895,129.

Net cash used in operations for the six months ended March 31, 2007 amounted to $1,552,574. Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $15,251. Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $2,394,000.

On January 30, 2007, we borrowed the principal amount of $100,000 through the issuance of a 10% promissory note, payable on April 30, 2007. This “bridge” loan was used for general working capital, until additional funding was secured. This note, plus interest, was repaid in March 2007 upon the placement of Series E Preferred Stock.
 
On March 1, 2007, we closed on a $2.5 million Series E Preferred Stock equity financing before financing related fees and expenses of approximately $106,000. This placement consisted of 10,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock at $250 a share. Each share of the Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into 625 shares of common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution provisions, or an aggregate of 6,250,000 shares of common stock. Commencing October 1, 2007, the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a cash dividend at a per share rate equal to $13.50 per annum, and a liquidation preference of $250 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, and ranking pari passu with the Series B and Series D Preferred Stock. The Series E Preferred Stock votes on an as-converted basis with the common stock, and has a separate vote with respect to matters directly affecting this Series. Neither we nor the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock have the right to cause the redemption thereof. The net proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes and the repayment of the January 30, 2007 10% Promissory Note as outlined above.
 
We believe that after the 2007 placement we should have sufficient cash requirements to support our working capital needs through March 31, 2008. However, to further develop the MCM business, we will need to seek additional funding. There can be no assurance that funding initiatives will be successful due to the difficulty in raising equity from third parties given our low stock price and current revenue base, and if successful, could be highly dilutive to existing stockholders. These funds are required to permit us to expand our marketing efforts and for the manufacture of its SteriMed System as well as for general working capital requirements.

Item 3. Controls & Procedures

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14 (c) and 15d-14 (c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2007, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information relating to us and our consolidated subsidiaries are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report has been prepared.

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that there were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the date of their most recent evaluation of such controls, and that there were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls.
