Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Note 1:  Description of Business
Delcath Systems, Inc. is a development stage specialty pharmaceutical and medical device company focused on oncology. Delcath's proprietary system for chemosaturation is designed to administer high dose chemotherapy and other therapeutic agents to diseased organs or regions of the body, while controlling the systemic exposure of those agents. The Company's initial focus is on the treatment of primary and metastatic liver cancers. In 2010, Delcath concluded a Phase III metastatic melanoma study, and the Company recently completed a multi-arm Phase II trial to treat other liver cancers. The Company obtained authorization to affix a CE Mark for the Hepatic CHEMOSAT delivery system in April 2011. The Company has not yet received FDA approval for commercial sale of its system in the United States.

Note 2:  Consolidated Financial Statements
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and Cumulative from Inception (August 5, 1988) to September 30, 2011 include the accounts of Delcath Systems, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Delcath Systems Limited (collectively, the “Company”).

Note 3:  Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and were prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates that impact the amounts reported in the Company's financial statements. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the Company's balance sheets and the amount of expenses reported for each of its periods presented are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for derivative instrument liabilities, stock-based compensation, income taxes and research and development costs. Such assumptions and estimates are subject to change in the future as additional information becomes available or as circumstances are modified. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and cumulative from inception (August 5, 1988) to September 30, 2011.

The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year.  These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010, which are contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 8, 2011 (the “2010 Form 10-K”).

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company describes its significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the Company’s Financial Statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. There were no significant changes in the Company s accounting policies since the end of fiscal 2010.

Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs include the costs of materials, personnel, outside services and applicable indirect costs incurred in development of the Company’s proprietary drug delivery system.  All such costs are charged to expense when incurred.

General and Administrative Costs
General and administrative costs include salaries and related expenses for the Company’s executive and administrative staff, recruitment and employee retention expenses, professional license and organizational fees, business development and certain general legal activities.

Investments
Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. The Company’s securities are classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Investments classified as held-to-maturity are stated at amortized cost. Investments classified as available-for-sale are stated at fair value with the related unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity.
 
 
F-4


Deferred Revenue Recognition
Deferred revenue on the accompanying balance sheets includes payment received upon execution of a research and distribution agreement with Chi-Fu Trading Co, Ltd. The Company will amortize deferred revenue over the expected obligation period of the agreement once this amount is reasonably determinable.

Note 4:  Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance aimed at increasing the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income in the financial statements. This guidance requires companies to present comprehensive income in a single statement below net income or in a separate statement of comprehensive income immediately following the income statement. Companies will no longer be allowed to present comprehensive income on the statement of changes in shareholders' equity. In both options, companies must present the components of net income, total net income, the components of other comprehensive income, total other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income. This guidance will become effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and will require retrospective application for all periods presented.  The adoption of this guidance may impact the presentation of the company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, but it will not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.

In May 2011, the FASB provided amendments to achieve a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments change certain fair value measurement principles and enhance the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. These amendments will be effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting these amendments, but currently believes there will be no significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 5:   Stock Incentive Plans
The Company established the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Plans”) under which 3,000,000, and 4,200,000 shares, respectively, were reserved for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock grants and other equity awards. A stock option grant allows the holder of the option to purchase a share of the Company’s common stock in the future at a stated price. The Plans are administered by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the board of directors which determines the individuals to whom awards shall be granted as well as the type, terms and conditions of each award, the option price and the duration of each award.
 
Stock Options
During 2004 and 2009, respectively, the 2004 and 2009 Stock Incentive Plans became effective. Options granted under the Plans vest as determined by the Company’s Compensation and Stock Option Committee and expire over varying terms, but not more than ten years from the date of grant. Stock option activity for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 is as follows:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized stock option compensation expense of $403,350 and $2,210,535 respectively, relating to options granted in previous years and $308,951 and $710,113 respectively, relating to options granted during 2011, for a total of $712,301 and $2,920,648, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized stock option compensation expense of $1,124,590 and $2,667,275, respectively.

The Company uses an option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options awarded to employees on the date of grant. The Company has expensed its stock-based compensation for share-based payments granted under the ratable method, which treats each vesting tranche as if it were an individual grant.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense for non-employees using the fair-value method which requires the award to be re-measured at each reporting date until the award is vested. The Company estimates the fair value using an option pricing model. The Company has expensed its share-based compensation for non-employees under the ratable method.

The assumptions used in the option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options awarded to employees are as follows:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized $164,461 and $304,470 respectively, relating to restricted stock granted during 2011, for a total of $184,324 and $437,503, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized restricted stock compensation expense of $251,849 and $1,272,347, respectively.

Note 6:    Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
 
Derivative warrant liability
The Company allocated part of the proceeds of a private placement and a public offering of the Company’s common stock to warrants issued in connection with such transactions. The Company determined that these warrants should be classified as liabilities rather than equity.  The valuation of the warrants is determined using an option pricing model. This model uses inputs such as the underlying price of the shares issued when the warrant is exercised, volatility, risk free interest rate and expected life of the instrument.   The Company has determined that the warrant derivative liability should be classified within Level 3 of the fair-value hierarchy by evaluating each input for the model against the fair-value hierarchy criteria and using the lowest level of input as the basis for the fair-value classification as called for in FASB ASC 820-10-35. There are six inputs: the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day of evaluation; the exercise price of the warrants; the remaining term of the warrants; the volatility of Delcath’s stock over that term; annual rate of dividends; and the riskless rate of return. Of those inputs, the exercise price of the warrants and the remaining term are readily observable in the warrant agreements. The annual rate of dividends is based on the Company s historical practice of not granting dividends. The closing price of the Company’s common stock would fall under Level 1 of the fair-value hierarchy as it is a quoted price in an active market (FASB ASC 820-10-35-40). The riskless rate of return is a Level 2 input as defined in FASB ASC 820-10-35-48, while the historical volatility is a Level 3 input as defined in FASB ASC 820-10-55-22. Since the lowest level input is a Level 3, the Company determined the warrant derivative liability is most appropriately classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

In September 2007, the Company completed the sale of 3,833,108 shares of its common stock and the issuance of warrants to purchase 1,916,554 common shares (the “2007 Warrants” and together with the 2009 Warrants, the “Warrants”) in a private placement to institutional and accredited investors. The Company received net proceeds of $13.3 million in this transaction. The Company allocated $4.3 million of the total proceeds to 2007 Warrants (see below). The 2007 Warrants were initially exercisable at $4.53 per share beginning six months after the issuance thereof and on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the issuance thereof. As required by the 2007 Warrant agreement, both the exercise price and number of warrants were adjusted following the Company’s June 9, 2009 sale of common stock. The 2007 Warrants are currently exercisable at $3.44 per share with 1,469,456 warrants outstanding at September 30, 2011. The shares were issued pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-3.

In June 2009, the Company completed the sale of 869,565 shares of its common stock and the issuance of warrants to purchase 1,043,478 common shares (the “2009 Warrants”) pursuant to a subscription agreement with a single investor. The Company received gross proceeds of $3.0 million, with net cash proceeds after related expenses from this transaction of approximately $2.67 million. Of those proceeds, the Company allocated an estimated fair value of $2.2 million to the 2009 Warrants (see below), resulting in net proceeds of $476,255. The 2009 Warrants are currently exercisable at $3.60 per share with 1,043,478 warrants outstanding at September 30, 2011 and have a five-year term. The shares and warrants were issued pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-3.

The $2.2 million in proceeds allocated to the 2009 Warrants and the $4.3 million in proceeds allocated to the 2007 Warrants are classified as derivative instrument liabilities. The terms of the Warrants provide for potential adjustment in the exercise price and are therefore considered to be derivative instrument liabilities that are subject to mark-to-market adjustment each period. As a result, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded pre-tax derivative instrument income of $14.9 million. The resulting derivative instrument liabilities totaled $3.1 million at September 30, 2011, as compared to $18.0 million at December 31, 2010. The fair value of the Warrants at September 30, 2011 was determined by using the Black-Scholes model assuming a risk free interest rate of 0.37% for the 2009 Warrants and 0.13% for the 2007 Warrants, volatility of 84.35% for the 2009 Warrants and 76.69% for the 2007 Warrants and an expected life equal to the contractual life of the Warrants (June 2014 for the 2009 Warrants and September 2012 for the 2007 Warrants).

Management believes that the possibility of an actual cash settlement with a warrant holder is quite remote, and expects that the Warrants will either be exercised or expire worthless, at which point the then existing warrant liability will be credited to stockholders’ equity when exercised or recorded through earnings if allowed to expire worthless.

Note 7:   Net Loss
Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. For the periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per common share are identical. Potentially dilutive securities from stock options and warrants would be antidilutive as the Company incurred a net loss. The number of shares of common stock potentially issuable at September 30, 2011 and 2010 upon exercise or conversion that were not included in the computation of net loss per share totaled 6,739,948 and 6,332,313 shares, respectively.

Note 8:   Taxes
The Company currently provides a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has not recognized any unrecognized tax benefits in its balance sheet.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of certain state jurisdictions. The Company has not been audited by the United States Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or any states in connection with income taxes. The periods from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2010 remain open to examination by the IRS and state authorities. Also note that for federal and state purposes, the tax authorities can generally reduce a net operating loss (but not create taxable income) for a period outside the statute of limitations in order to determine the correct amount of net operating loss which may be allowed as a deduction against income for a period within the statute of limitations.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded a state capital tax benefit of $187,500. This benefit is a result of State of New York legislation, which allows companies to obtain cash refunds from the State of New York at a rate of 100% of their annual research and development expense credits, limited to $250,000 per year. Since this is not an income tax benefit, it is reflected as a component of general and administrative expenses.  

Note 9: Subsequent Events
On October 26, 2011, Delcath Systems, Inc. issued a press release announcing that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has responded to the Company’s request made in September for a pre-New Drug Application (NDA) meeting and has scheduled a date in mid-January 2012.

Overview

The following section should be read in conjunction with Part I, Item 1: Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this report and Part I, Item 1: Business; and Part II, Item 8: Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Delcath Systems, Inc. is a specialty pharmaceutical and medical device company focused on oncology, initially cancers in the liver. Since our inception, the Company has directed its research efforts towards the development and clinical study of the Delcath chemosaturation system.
 
The Delcath chemosaturation system allows the administration of concentrated regional chemotherapy by isolating the circulatory system of the targeted organ. Once the organ is isolated, the Delcath chemosaturation system delivers high doses of chemotherapy agents, currently melphalan hydrochloride, or melphalan, directly to the liver, while limiting systemic exposure and the related side effects by filtering the blood prior to returning it to the patient. The procedure is minimally invasive and repeatable allowing for multiple courses of treatment with chemotherapeutic drugs. We believe that the Delcath chemosaturation system is a platform technology that may have broader applicability, including the use of other drugs to treat the liver, as well as for the treatment of cancers in other organs and regions of the body.

Product Development
The Company is developing a second generation chemosaturation system featuring higher efficiency filtration cartridges. We believe the improved filter will help to further minimize a patient’s systemic exposure to the chemotherapeutic agent, melphalan hydrochloride, and may offer the patient and the physician a variety of additional benefits including reduced patient recovery times, the ability to use concominant therapies and the expanded ability for additional beneficial treatments using the system.  The second generation chemosaturation system contains several modified features intended to help improve the ease of use by a physician by providing the cartridges in an easy mount system.   This second generation product is expected to receive CE Mark and be available for commercial distribution in Europe in 2012.

European Market Commercialization
On April 13, 2011, we obtained the right to affix the CE Mark to the Delcath chemosaturation system featuring the first generation filtration cartridges. The right to affix the CE Mark allows us to market and sell the Delcath chemosaturation system (“ChemoSAT”) in the European Economic Area (EEA). In the EEA, the Delcath chemosaturation system is regulated as a medical device indicated for the intra-arterial administration of a chemotherapeutic agent, melphalan, to the liver with additional extracorporeal filtration of the venous blood return. Our ability to market and promote the Delcath chemosaturation system is limited to this approved indication. However, no melphalan labels in the EEA reference our product, and the labels vary from country to country with respect to the approved indication of the drug and its mode of administration. In the exercise of their professional judgment in the practice of medicine, physicians are generally allowed, under certain conditions, to use or prescribe a product in ways not approved by regulatory authorities. Physicians intending to use our device must obtain melphalan separately for use with the Delcath chemosaturation system and must use melphalan independently at their discretion.

We believe the Delcath chemosaturation system may ultimately fulfill an annual unmet clinical need for as many as 100,000 liver cancer patients in the EEA. We intend to focus our initial efforts on six target markets including Germany, United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Italy and Spain. We believe these countries represent approximately 70% of the total potential liver cancer market in EEA countries. We entered into a long term lease to establish our European headquarters in Galway, Ireland and formed Delcath Systems, Limited, an Irish company under which we will establish European operations. We have initiated the renovation of our facility in Galway. We are actively recruiting for our European operations and have begun to hire key employees in specific countries in Europe. We plan to utilize third-party contract sales organizations and a direct sales force in the United Kingdom, Germany and the Netherlands and distributors in France, Italy and Spain. We are planning an initial launch and clinical training for the ChemoSAT system in select centers in Europe and, following the initial launch, intend to establish clinical training centers to educate and train physicians and healthcare payors in these countries in order to develop key opinion thought leadership and foster initial market acceptance.

Clinical Trials
The Company has completed a Phase III clinical trial using the Delcath chemosaturation system with melphalan in patients with metastatic ocular and cutaneous melanoma to the liver and a multi-arm Phase II clinical trial using the Delcath chemosaturation system with melphalan in patients with primary and metastatic liver cancer. Additionally, the Company plans to implement an Expanded Access Program (EAP) at several sites in the United States in early 2012.  

Prior to initiating our Phase III clinical trial, we submitted a proposal for the clinical trial protocol’s design, execution, and analysis under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA). A SPA is an evaluation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), of a protocol with the goal of reaching an agreement that the Phase III trial protocol design, clinical endpoints, and statistical analyses are acceptable to support regulatory approval of the drug product candidate with respect to effectiveness for the indication studied. Under a SPA, the FDA agrees to not later alter its position with respect to adequacy of the design, execution, or analyses of the clinical trial intended to form the primary basis of an effectiveness claim in a new drug application (NDA), without the sponsor’s agreement, unless the FDA identifies a substantial scientific issue essential to determining the safety or efficacy of the drug after testing begins. We conducted our Phase III trial under a SPA.

In February 2010, we concluded a Phase III clinical trial for the Delcath chemosaturation system with melphalan in patients with metastatic ocular and cutaneous melanoma to the liver, which demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in hepatic progression-free survival (hPFS) compared to the best alternative care (BAC). Our Phase III trial successfully met the study’s primary endpoint of extended hPFS. We recently announced updated results which include data from patients through March 2011, an additional 12 months of data maturation from our initial announcement. With respect to the study's primary endpoint of hPFS, the updated investigator-assessed results showed that patients in the chemosaturation arm demonstrated median hPFS of 8.0 months compared to 1.6 months in the BAC arm, a significant 6.4 month extension of hPFS. Median overall PFS in the chemosaturation arm was 6.7 months compared to 1.6 months in the BAC arm, an increase of 5.1 months. An analysis of survival trends by patient cohorts indicated that patients treated with chemosaturation, including crossover patients, had a median survival of 11.4 months compared to 4.1 months for BAC patients who did not receive chemosaturation. As of June 30, 2011, 11 patients treated with chemosaturation were still alive compared to two patients in the BAC arm who did not receive chemosaturation.

In addition, we completed a multi-arm Phase II clinical trial of the Delcath chemosaturation system with melphalan in patients with primary and metastatic liver cancer.   The Phase II clinical trial included four patient cohorts: hepatobiliary cancers, and metastatic cancers of neuroendocrine, ocular or cutaneous melanoma, and colorectal (adenocarcinoma) origins.

There were nine patients with tumors of hepatobiliary origin: five hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) and four cholangiocarcinomas. HCC is the most common primary cancer of the liver, with approximately 500,000 new cases diagnosed worldwide annually. Both groups had positive efficacy signals. The responses were especially encouraging in the HCC cohort where all patients received confirmed partial response or durable stable disease.

In the Phase II trial's metastatic neuroendocrine (mNET) cohort, 24 patients with unresectable mNET in the liver underwent an average of three chemosaturation procedures. The primary endpoint of overall hepatic response rate (ORR) among the 20 evaluable patients was 70%, including one patient who presented with a confirmed complete response (CR) and 13 with confirmed partial responses (PR). Currently available treatment options for patients with unresectable neuroendocrine liver metastases have response rates around 5%. Four patients had stable disease (SD) and two progressed at their first evaluation, giving a tumor growth control rate of 90%. As for secondary endpoints, the median overall survival in all 24 patients (on an intent to treat or ITT basis) was reported as 30.4 months and the median hepatic progression-free survival (hPFS) was reported as 15.5 months.

In the Phase II trial’s metastatic colorectal (adenocarcinoma) cohort, sixteen patients with very late stage colorectal cancer liver metastases were recruited into this arm. No significant responses were noted among these patients as they had been heavily pre-treated with numerous chemotherapeutic and regional modalities that, along with anatomical and disease-related factors in a few, prevented sufficient melphalan exposure. The predominant accrual of very late stage patients reflects the changing referral and treatment patterns at the NCI at the time that this study was conducted, but it was not a design feature of the study. We recently conducted in vitro experiments evaluating colorectal tumor cell lines that were exposed to melphalan at concentrations achieved during chemosaturation, which showed encouraging signals of cell-death induction. This, combined with published reports of demonstrated efficacy with high dose melphalan delivered with surgical isolation perfusion, has convinced us to continue to study the efficacy of our chemosaturation system in this patient population that currently has few treatment options

The safety profiles of the chemosaturation system in all four cohorts of the Phase II clinical trial were consistent with the Company's Phase III melanoma trial.

Regulatory
United States
Based on our Phase III results, we submitted our Section 505(b)(2) NDA, to the FDA in December 2010, seeking an indication for the percutaneous intra-arterial administration of melphalan for use in the treatment of patients with metastatic melanoma in the liver. In February 2011, we received a Refusal to File RTF letter (RTF), from the FDA for the NDA. The FDA will issue an RTF if it determines upon an initial review that the NDA is not sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review. Neither the acceptance nor non-acceptance of an NDA for filing is a determination of the ultimate approvability of the drug product at issue. The RTF represented a determination by the FDA that, based on its preliminary review, the NDA is not sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review. The RTF requested information on a number of items, including manufacturing plant inspection timing, product and sterilization validations, statistical analysis clarification concerning randomization and additional safety information regarding patient hospitalization data in order to allow the FDA to properly assess the risk-benefit profile of the product candidate. At this time, the FDA has not requested additional studies to be conducted. We have had subsequent communications with the FDA, including a meeting in early April 2011 to discuss the issues raised and to confirm our understanding of the additional information required by the FDA in order to permit a substantive review of the application upon resubmission, which includes additional hospitalization data and clarification of the safety data submitted in our initial NDA. We continue our efforts to prepare our resubmission to the FDA, including data gathering and remonitoring, in order to address the issues raised in the RTF. The FDA recently responded to our request for a pre-NDA meeting and we are scheduled to have a meeting with the FDA to discuss our application in mid-January 2012.

Other Markets
Since receiving the CE Mark for the ChemoSAT system, we have been begun the process of seeking regulatory approval in several other countries where we can leverage our CE Mark. We recently completed the product notification process with the Medicines and Medical Device Safety Authority in New Zealand which allows us to sell the ChemoSAT system in New Zealand   and we expect to begin supplying the system through an authorized distributor in 2012.   We have also completed our regulatory filings with the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration and Singapore Health Sciences. We intend to file and seek regulatory approval in other markets in Asia, including Hong Kong and Korea, as well as China and Japan where local clinical trials may be required, and in Latin America and the Middle East.

Results of Operations
Since our inception we have raised approximately $149.2 million (net of fundraising expenses).  We have financed our operations primarily through public and private placements of equity securities.  We have incurred net losses since we were founded and we expect to continue to incur significant and increasing net losses over the year. We expect that the amount of capital required for operations including efforts to commercialize the Delcath chemosaturation system in Europe, preparation of the Company’s submission to the FDA, and continued research and development activities will continue to increase for the foreseeable future.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010
Delcath has operated at a loss for our entire history.  The Company had a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011, of $8.3 million, which is a $1.2 million decrease in the net loss for the same period in 2010.  The decrease in net loss is due to a $6.0 million change in the fair value of the warrant liability, which was offset by an increase of $4.8 million in operating costs.

The Company’s operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $12.2 million, of which approximately $900,000 is non-cash expense related to stock option and restricted stock grants made under the Company’s 2004 and 2009 Stock Option Plans as discussed in more detail in Note 5 of this filing. This compares to an operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 of $7.4 million, of which approximately $1.4 million was non-cash expense related to stock option and restricted stock grants made under the Company’s 2004 and 2009 Stock Option Plans.

The increase in total costs can be primarily attributed to the Company’s growth, which has led to an increase in payroll and overhead expenses. At the end of the third quarter of 2011 the Company had 74 full-time employees compared to 44 at the end of the third quarter of 2010. Additionally, the Company’s preparations for commercialization in Europe, continued expansion of research and development (R&D) activities and regulatory expenses related to our submission to the FDA has contributed to the increase in our total costs and expenses. We anticipate continued increases in our total costs and expenses as the Company continues to aggressively move forward with our commercialization and R&D plans.

General and administrative expenses increased to $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The Company is continuing its progress in transitioning from a development stage company to a commercial enterprise with staff dedicated to commercializing the Delcath chemosaturation system. The increase in the Company’s general and administrative expenses is commensurate with our increase in staffing, as well as our European commercialization efforts.

Research and development expenses increased to $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $4.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The increase in expenses is primarily related to our expanded research and development activities and regulatory expenses related to our submission to the FDA.

Interest income is generated from our money market account and certificates of deposit. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company had interest income of $537, as compared to $2,949 for the same period in 2010. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company earned interest from certificates of deposit which matured throughout 2010 and the first quarter of 2011, yielding lower interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
 
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010
The Company had a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, of $15.6 million, which is a $16.2 million decrease in the net loss for the same period in 2010.  The decrease in net loss is primarily due to a $25.5 million change in the fair value of the warrant liability, which was offset by an increase of approximately $9.3 million in total costs.

The Company’s operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $30.5 million, of which approximately $3.4 million is non-cash expense related to stock option and restricted stock grants made under our 2004 and 2009 Stock Option Plans as discussed in more detail in Note 5 of this filing. This compares to an operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $21.2 million, of which approximately $3.9 million was non-cash expense related to stock option and restricted stock grants made under our 2004 and 2009 Stock Option Plans.

General and administrative expenses increased to $15.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $9.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The Company is continuing its progress in transitioning from a development stage company to a commercial enterprise with staff dedicated to commercializing the Delcath chemosaturation system. The increase in the Company’s general and administrative expenses is commensurate with our increase in staffing, as well as our European commercialization efforts.

Research and development expenses increased to $15.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $11.8 million during the first nine months of 2010. Our continued hiring has also contributed to an increase in research and development expenses. During 2010, the Company was incurring expenses related to wrapping up its Phase III clinical trial. The reduction in trial related expenses during 2011 was more than offset by an increase in expenses related to our expanded research and development activities and regulatory expenses related to our submission to the FDA.

Interest income is generated from our money market account and certificates of deposit. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company had interest income of $1,202, as compared to $6,824 for the same period in 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company earned interest from certificates of deposit which matured throughout 2010 and the first quarter of 2011, yielding lower interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our future results are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties.  The Company has operated at a loss for its entire history and anticipates that losses will continue over the coming years.  There can be no assurance that Delcath will ever generate significant revenues or achieve profitability. The Company expects to use cash, cash equivalents and investment proceeds to fund its operating activities. Delcath’s future liquidity and capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the progress of research and product development programs, obtaining regulatory approvals and complying with regulations; the timing and effectiveness of product commercialization activities, including marketing arrangements; the timing and costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing intellectual property rights; and the effect of competing technological and market developments. The Company continues to move forward aggressively. As Delcath commences commercial sales and marketing activity in Europe and seeks FDA approval of the Delcath chemosaturation system in the U.S. we expect that both our expenses and capital expenditures will increase.

At September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $41.0 million, as compared to $51.8 million at September 30, 2010.   Cash and cash equivalents does not include $3.7 million invested in certificates of deposit at September 30, 2011 or $2.5 million invested in certificates of deposit at September 30, 2010.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we used $23.8 million of cash in our operating activities, which compares to $16.9 million used in our operating activities during the comparable nine month period in 2010.  The increase of $6.9 million, or 40.9%, is primarily due to our preparations to commercialize the Delcath chemosaturation system, expenses related to our remonitoring efforts to prepare our submission to the FDA, as well as an increase in compensation related expenses as the Company grew from 44 employees at September 30, 2010 to 74 employees at September 30, 2011. The Company expects that our cash allocated to operating activities will continue to increase as we aggressively move forward with our commercialization plans for Europe and continue to incur regulatory expenses related to our submission to the FDA. The Company believes it has sufficient capital to fund our operating activities.

At September 30, 2011, the Company’s accumulated deficit was approximately $131.7 million.  Because our business does not generate positive cash flow from operating activities, the Company may need to raise additional capital in order to fully commercialize our product or to fund development efforts.  Delcath believes that we will be able to raise additional capital in the event that we find it in our best interest to do so. The Company anticipates raising such additional capital by either borrowing money, selling shares of our capital stock, or entering into strategic alliances with appropriate partners. To the extent additional capital is not available when needed, the Company may be forced to abandon some or all of our development and commercialization efforts, which would have a material adverse effect on the prospects of our business. Further, our assumptions relating to our cash requirements may differ materially from our actual requirements because of a number of factors, including significant unforeseen delays in the regulatory approval process, changes in the focus and direction of our clinical trials and costs related to commercializing our product.

In March 2010, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which allows the Company to offer and sell, from time to time in one or more offerings up to $100,000,000 of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities and stock purchase contracts as it deems prudent or necessary to raise capital at a later date. The registration statement became effective on April 13, 2010 (333-165677). The Company used this registration statement for its August 2010 public offering detailed in Note 3 to the Company’s audited financial statements contained in the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In July 2011, the Company completed the sale of 5,000,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to an underwriting agreement with Jefferies & Company, Inc., raising approximately $23.6 million after expenses. Because the maximum aggregate offering price of all securities registered is $100,000,000, the Company’s issuance of any securities will reduce the amount of other securities that it can issue pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-3.

The Company has funded our operations through a combination of private placements of our securities and through the proceeds of our public offerings in 2000, 2003, 2009, 2010, and 2011 along with our registered direct offerings in 2007 and 2009.  As of July 31, 2011, Delcath had approximately $39,750,000 aggregate amount of common stock, preferred stock, stock purchase contracts, warrants and debt securities (or a combination of these securities) available to be issued under our effective registration statement on Form S-3. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from any future offerings for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, obtaining regulatory approvals, commercialization of our products, funding of our clinical trials, capital expenditures and working capital. For a detailed discussion of our various sales of securities see Note 3 to the Company’s audited financial statements contained in the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).  Certain accounting policies have a significant impact on amounts reported in the financial statements.  A summary of those significant accounting policies can be found in Note 1 to the Company’s financial statements contained in the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The Company is still in the development stage and has no revenues, trade receivables, inventories, or significant fixed or intangible assets, and therefore has very limited opportunities to choose among accounting policies or methods.  In many cases, the Company must use an accounting policy or method because it is the only policy or method permitted under GAAP.

Additionally, the Company devotes substantial resources to obtaining regulatory approvals for the Delcath chemosaturation system as well as its research and development activities, the cost of which is required to be charged to expense as incurred.  This further limits our choice of accounting policies and methods.  Similarly, management believes there are very limited circumstances in which the Company’s financial statement estimates are significant or critical.
 
The Company considers the valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets to be a significant accounting estimate.  In applying FASB ASC 740 management estimates future taxable income from operations and tax planning strategies in determining if it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of its deferred tax assets.  Management believes the Company does not have any uncertain tax positions.

The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 718, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, share-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based upon the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the option holders’ requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The Company expenses its share-based compensation  under the ratable method, which treats each vesting tranche as if it were an individual grant.
 
The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50, which establishes accounting for equity-based payments to non-employees. Measurement of compensation cost related to common shares issued to non-employees for services is based on the value of the services provided or the fair value of the shares issued. Each transaction is reviewed to determine the more reliably measurable basis for the valuation. The measurement of non-employee stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instrument vests. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges are amortized over the vesting period or period of performance of the services.

The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 820, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

FASB ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. See Note 5 to the Company’s condensed consolidated condensed financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for assets and liabilities the Company has evaluated under FASB ASC 820.

Item 3.
The Company may be exposed to market risk through changes in market interest rates that could affect the value of its investments. However, the Company’s marketable securities consist of short-term and/or variable rate instruments and, therefore, a change in interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio or related income.

The Company measures all derivatives, including certain derivatives embedded in contracts, at fair value and recognizes them on the balance sheet as an asset or a liability, depending on the Company’s rights and obligations under the applicable derivative contract.

In June 2009, the Company completed the sale of 869,565 shares of its common stock and the issuance of warrants to purchase 1,043,478 common shares (the “2009 Warrants”) in a subscription agreement with a single investor. The Company received gross proceeds of $3.0 million, with net cash proceeds after related expenses from this transaction of approximately $2.67 million. Of those proceeds, the Company allocated an estimated fair value of $2.2 million to the 2009 Warrants, resulting in net proceeds of $467,559. The 2009 Warrants are currently exercisable at $3.60 per share with 1,043,478 shares outstanding at September 30, 2011 and have a five-year term.

In September 2007, the Company completed the sale of 3,833,108 shares of its common stock and the issuance of warrants to purchase 1,916,554 common shares (the “2007 Warrants”) in a private placement to institutional and accredited investors. The Company received net proceeds of $13.3 million in this transaction. The Company allocated $4.3 million of the total proceeds to the 2007 Warrants. The 2007 Warrants were initially exercisable at $4.53 per share beginning six months after the issuance thereof and on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the issuance thereof. As required by the 2007 Warrant agreement, both the exercise price and number of warrants were adjusted following the Company’s June 9, 2009 sale of common stock. The 2007 Warrants are currently exercisable at $3.44 per share with 1,469,456 warrants outstanding at September 30, 2011.

The $2.2 million in proceeds allocated to the 2009 Warrants and the $4.3 million in proceeds allocated to the 2007 Warrants are classified as derivative instrument liabilities. The terms of the 2007 Warrants and the 2009 Warrants provide for potential adjustment in the exercise price and are therefore considered to be derivative instrument liabilities that are subject to mark-to-market adjustment each period. As a result, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded the change in fair value of the warrant liability as pre-tax derivative instrument income of $14.9 million. The resulting derivative instrument liabilities totaled $3.1 million at September 30, 2011. The fair value of the Warrants at September 30, 2011 was determined by using an option pricing model assuming a risk free interest rate of 0.37% for the 2009 Warrants and 0.13% for the 2007 Warrants, volatility of 84.35% for the 2009 Warrants and 76.69% for the 2007 Warrants and an expected life equal to the contractual life of the Warrants (June 2014 and September 2012, respectively).

Item 4. 
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011 (the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), have been designed and are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed or submitted 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.

FOURTH SCHEDULE
 
Rent Review
 
The revised rent referred to in this Lease in respect of each the five year period commencing  on the fifth anniversary of the Term Commencement  Date may be agreed at any time between the Lessor and the Lessee or (in the absence of agreement) be determined not earlier than the fifth anniversary of the Term Commencement  Date (the "Review Date") by applying the provisions set out below.
 
1.          Definitions
 
In this Schedule, the following expressions shall have the following meanings:
 
1.1 
''Basic   Rent",   the rent payable by the Lessee immediately prior to the Review Date;
 
1.2
"Central   Statistics   Office",   the Central Statistics Office, Ireland or other government department or successor or replacement office, state entity or other entity upon which the duties  in connection  with the Consumer  Price  Index  shall  have devolved  from time to time;
 
1.3 
"Consumer   Price   Index",   the Consumer Price Index (all items) published by Central Statistics Office;
 
1.4
"President",   the   President   for   the  time   being   of   the   Institute   of   Chartered Accountants  in the Republic of Ireland and includes the duly appointed deputy of the President  or any  person  authorised  by the  President  to  make appointments  on  his behalf;
 
2.         Rent   Review
 
2.1
The rent reserved  by this Lease shall be reviewed at the Review Date in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule and, from and including the Review Date, the reviewed rent shall equal the revised rent as determined  in accordance with the terms of this Schedule.
 
2.2
At the Review Date, the Basic Rent shall be adjusted (as more particularly described in Clause 2.3 below) in line with the changes in the Consumer Price Index between:
 
(a) 
the date from which the Basic Rent was reviewed being the preceding Review Date or if there was none the Term Commencement Date;
 
 (b)
Review Date as provided for in Clause 2.3 below.
 
Such period hereinafter referred to as the "Review  Period".
 
2.3
Calculation of the revised rent in accordance with the changes in the Consumer Price· Index referred in Clause 2.2 shall be calculated by multiplying the Basic Rent by the "numerical fraction" applicable at the Review Date. The numerical fraction applicable at the Review Date shall be the fraction which shall have as its denominator the index figure which shall have been officially published by the Central Statistics Office for the most recent date or period before the date from which the Basic Rent was reviewed being the preceding Review Date or if there was none the Term Commencement Date for which an index figure was published by the Central Statistics Office for the Consumer Price Index and as its numerator the index figure which shall have been so officially published for the most recent date or period before the Review Date for which an index figure was published by the Central Statistics Office.
 
 
- 19 -

 
 
For the avoidance of doubt, the formula for calculating the amount of the revised rent on each Review Date for the purposes of Clause 2.3 of this Schedule shall be as follows:
 
AxB/C
 
Where
 
A =       the Basic Rent;
 
B =        the index figure  which  shall have been  officially  published  by the Central Statistics Offices as the index figure for the Consumer Price Index for the most recent date or period before the Review Date for which an index figure is published.
 
C =       the  index figure  which shall  have been officially  published  by the Central Statistics Offices as the index figure for the Consumer Price Index for the most recent date or period before the date from which the Basic Rent was reviewed being the preceding Rent Review date or if there was none the Term Commencement  Date for which an index figure was published.
 
3. 
Agreement or Determination of the Revised Rent
 
3.1
The Lessor shall notifY the Lessee of its calculation  of the revised rent no later than 3 months after each Review Date. In the event that the Lessee does not agree with the Lessor's  calculation  of the revised rent, either party may, by notice in writing to the other, require that the revised rent using the formula  herein contained  be determined by an independent expert such revised rent to be a generally respected measure of the general   change   in  retail  prices.  The   independent   expert   shall  be  a  Chartered Accountant  of  at  least seven  years  standing.  In default  of  agreement  between  the Lessor and the Lessee on the appointment of the Chartered Accountant to act as independent expert, the Chartered Accountant shall be appointed  by the President on the written application of either party.
 
3.2
The independent  expert for the purposes of all matters  in dispute arising  under this clause  shall  (a)  act  as  an  expert  and  not  an  arbitrator  and  (b)  shall  permit  oral submissions  and (if  he deems appropriate)  written  submissions  to  be made  by the parties hereto and by their advisors and his decision shall be final and binding on the parties. The  costs  of the  independent  expert  shall  be borne  by the  parties  in such manner as the independent expert shall determine.
 
4. 
Interim payments pending determination
 
 
In the event that by the Review Date the amount of the reviewed rent has not been agreed or determined  as  aforesaid  (the  date  of  agreement  or  determination   being  herein  called  thp. Determination   Date)  then,   in  respect  of  the  period  (herein   called  the  Interim   Period) beginning with the Review Date and ending on the Determination  Date, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor rent at the yearly rate payable immediately  before the Review Date and on the Determination  Date, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor, on demand as arrears of rent or the Lessor shall pay to the Lessee as the case may be, the amount (if any) by which the reviewed rent exceeds or is lower than the rent actually  paid during the Interim Period (apportioned  on a daily basis) together with interest thereon at the Base Rate from the Review Date to the date of actual payment.
 
 
- 20 -

 
 
5. 
Rent Restrictions
 
 
In the event of the Lessor being prevented or prohibited in whole or in part from exercising its rights under this clause and/or reviewing the Rent on any of the Review Dates by reason of any  legislation,  government  order  or  decree  or  regulations  or  howsoever  then  the  date  at which the review would otherwise have taken effect shall be deemed to be extended to permit and require such review to take place on the first date thereafter  upon which such right may be exercised  and/or obtained  in whole or in part and when in part on so many occasions as shall be necessary to revise the Rent and if there shall be a partial prevention only there shall be a further review on the first date or dates as aforesaid  notwithstanding  the Rent may have been increased or decreased in part on or since the date of review but in no instance shall the increase or decreased  in Rent be dated back to exceed the statutory  controls on increases or decreases of Rent laid down by law.
 
6. 
Disputes
 
 
If  it  becomes  impossible  to  calculate  the  Rent  for  any  Review  Date  by  reference  to  the Consumer  Price Index because of any change in the methods used to compile the Consumer Price Index after the date of this Lease or for any other reason whatever, of if any dispute or question whatever arises between the parties as to the construction  or effect of this schedule, then  the  Rent  for  that  review  period  or  the  disputed  matter  is  to  be determined  by  the independent expert in accordance with Clause 3 above. The independent expert is to have full power to determine, on such dates as he consider appropriate, what the increases or decreases in the Consumer  Price Index would have been had it continued on the basis assumed for the operation of the rent review and in view of the information assumed to be available for it and the independent expert shall obtain all relevant information from the Central Statistic Office.
 
7. 
Memoranda of Reviewed Rent
 
 
As soon  as the amount  of any  reviewed  rent  has  been agreed  or  determined,  memoranda thereof shall be prepared by the Lessor or its solicitors and thereupon shall be signed by or on behalf of the Lessor and the Lessee shall be responsible for and shall  pay to the Lessor the stamp duty (if any) payable on such memoranda and any counterparts thereof  but the parties shall each bear their own costs in respect thereof.
 
8. 
Time not of the Essence
 
For the purpose of this Schedule, time shall not be of the essence.

Re:       CONDITIONAL SURVEY OF PROPERTY AT
UNIT 19, IDA BUSINESS & TECHNOLOGY PARK , MERVUE, GALWAY, IRELAND
DELCATH SYSTEMS INC:
 
Our Ref.                   Flles/700/DS/...
 
Instructions, Limitations and General Preamble:
 
We report that we carried out a survey at the above property on Wednesday, 29 June 2011, as per emailed instructions  and our standard conditions  of engagement.
 
This report shall be   for the private and confidential use of our client for whom the report is undertaken and must not be reproduced in whole or in part or relied upon by a third party without the agreement of the architect.

We will not be responsible to third parties who obtain, by any means, a copy of this report and act upon the information contained therein.
 
Whilst every care has been taken in completing our survey and report, the investigations have been non­ destructive in nature and therefore we are unable to report upon matters that are concealed at the time of the inspection, and the following assumptions have had to be made:
 
That high alumna cement (HAC), concrete or calcium chloride additive or other deleterious materials or techniques were not used when the original property or any subsequent additions were built.
That any wall ties that exist are not perished.
That your solicitor's  or regal advisor's  search will prove that the property is not subject to any unusual covenants, Local Authority restrictions, or onerous restrictions imposed by others, encumbrances or outgoings  and that good title can be shown.
That future inspections of any hidden part of the structure which have not been inspected during this survey will not reveal material defects, or cause the surveyor  to alter materially the conclusions drawn at the end of this report (if applicable) .
 
We have not inspected woodwork or other parts of the structure which are not uncovered , unexposed or are inaccessible and we are therefore unable  to report that the property is free from defect; however , we have done our best to draw conclusions about the construction from surface evidence visible at the time of our inspection . We have not inspected the wall cavities or wall ties. It was not possible to fully examine the floors in areas which were tiled . Corners of carpets were lifted where possible and isolated areas examined . No pressure smoke or other tests have been applied to the drains.
 
The survey commenced at approximately 10:00 a.m. The earty weather conditions were sunny, dry and calm with some heavy  showers later in the day. References to left and right are made standing facing the front of the building.
This report should   be   read in conjunction with our photographic record: DSCF2959- DSCF3063 [204MB].

The   Property   in   General :
 
The property is situated in the IDA Business and Technology Park between the Monivea Road and the Tuam Road . Unit-19, this building, was constructed i n   the late 1960's and early 1970's as part of a series of starter industrial units . It is the last in a series of nine similar units which have housed companies such as Digital, Nortel and Avaya. Abbott Vascular Ireland were the most recent tenants of this building. They carried out extensive refurbishment throughout installing clean rooms, gowning rooms, canteen and other ancillary  facilities. There is a small landscaped bed along the width of the building in front of which there are eight dedicated parking spaces. The dedicated parking and drop-off zone to the rear of the building has been cordoned  off with galvanized steel fencing.
 
The overall area of the building and yards is roughly 1,800m 2   [19,370sq.ft].
 
The site itself and surrounding  lands are level. The front of the building faces north east.

1.
Roofs:

 
Main   Roof   &   the   Front-Offices   Fla t Roof The externalflat roofs and pitched sections of the northlights are finished in Trocal or a similar high-performance membrane and appear to have been Installed in accordance with   the manufacturer's instructions. The Trocal is laid on an · isolating membrane on high density insulation on a profiled metal deck . Structurally, the roof is formed with steel lattice girders which crank up at 45°   in the northlights and together with the flat   sections provide a self-supporting clear span of22.45m (73'7"} at   roughly 5.0m (16'5") above finished floor level. The lower level flat roof deck to the front of the building  is supported on steel joists spanning from the front band beam to the corridor wall.
 
 
Main   Roof   Northlights :The northlights  to the main roof are pitched at 45°.   They are Georgian­ wire aluminium-framed single-glazed units 21.4m wide by 1.8m high. Upstands  and flashings appear to be in order and there's no apparent evidence  of water ingress.
 
 
Front   Offices   Flat   Roof   Rooflights :This external flat roof has a series of Georgian-wire aluminium-framed glazed rooflights  installed over the toilet block area . Upstands and flashings appear to be in order and there's no apparent evidence  of water ingress at present. However, the suspended ceiling tiles beneath do have signs of staining due to roof leaks in this area at some stage.
 
 
Pitched   Roof   to   Shipping   Area :This roof is a single-skin profiled metaldeck with similar fascia and barge detailing . It sits on a steel mono-pitch frame with purlins and joists supports. There is a lining of thin reflective insulated  material fixed to the soffite over this area. Possibly to prevent condensation. This yard area is open to the   elements at one side and there are swallows nesting in the roof space.

"Condition: The roofs in general have been well maintained and although there are many penetrations for services  there was no evidence of water ingress on the day   of the survey. Galway has recently experienced a prolonged period of rainfall. There is some evidence of ponding on the flat roof sections but the ramwater outlets appear to be free from blockages and debris.The fall to the roof surfaces may not be adequate to disperse the water. There are patches of paint coming off the soffit (underside) for the metal decking . This roof   construction would not meet with current Building Regulation standards. However, the air and atmosphere within the building was reasonably  pleasant and there was no   sign of musty smells associated with damp conditions.
 
2.
Walls:
 
 
External   Walls :External masonry walls are finished in concrete brickwork . There is   a   plastered  450 x   450 reinforced  concrete band beam above window level along the front elevation. This is capped with profiled steel flashing and laid over the roofing membrane . The band beam is supported by 230   x 230 reinforced concrete columns at 3.8m crs.
 
 
Beneath the beam there are large sections of double-glazed aluminium framed windows which sit on the concrete floor slab. The lower sections of these windows are filled with lightweight Insulated panels which are painted. Other external walls to the rear and one side are either concrete brickwork or rendered concrete blockwork.The rear walls have been patched up in places where there were service ducts penetrating.
 
 
Condition : This type of construction would no longer be   acceptable  as it doesn't comply with the Building Regulations . Structurally however, there was no evidence of subsidence or cracking in any of these elements. I checked the reveals with a moisture meter and results were negative. There are no signs of   tidemarks or rising damp in the structure.
 
 
Internal   Walls :The compartment walls separating this unit from the adjoining buildings are constructed of220mm fairfaced blockwork with 300 x 230   reinforced  concrete columns at 7.62m   crs.These   walls   for   the   most   part   have   been   lined   with   modular   steel   panels   similar   to those   in   the   clean   rooms . The   dry-linings   to   the   front   office   area,   which   has   been   kitted   out   as   a canteen are dry-lined with plasterboard and skimmed. There are still some fairfaced block surfaces evident throughout the building; at the entrance and on the corridor to the   toilet facilities and in the receiving  area. Most of the other Internal walls to   the structure I.e. clean rooms, ancillary areas and circulation  corridors are constructed with 1160mm wide modular, insulated demountable steel-panels. They are roughly 80mm thick, fire-rated, with their   own dedicated windows and doors . The   panels are finished in polyester powder-coated galvanized steel plate coloured "Iceberg white• (near RAL   9010) and manufactured by "Dagard".
 
 
Condition :The walls and ceilings to the clean rooms have been installed  to a high standard to meet with the necessary regulations for this purpose:Class 100,000 . The fairfaced masonry  to the corridors and receiving area can be easily dry-lined if necessary. This would involve moving some of the electricaland mechanical boards. Structurally, there is    no   evidence of  subsidence or cracking in any of these elements and walls tested plumb with a spirit level throughout.
 
3. 
Floors:
 
 
The floor is constructed  in 300mm thick reinforced concrete. It is laid In bays with expansion joints between each bay . With the exception of the   warehouse, the floors throughout are finished in Mipolam 500  Esprit 5001 "Ice Crystal" with matching  caved skirtings. The floor to the warehouse is painted  in an epoxy resin.
 
 
Condition : The floors are generally in good condition. The resin coating In the warehouse Is showing signs of wear from heavy trafficking and cracking  along the expansion joints. Otherwise, there is no evidence of subsidence or structural cracking.
 
4. 
Ceilings:
 
 
The ceiling grid in the   clean rooms and ancillary areas is 1200 x 600 with washable moisture­ proof tiles manufactured by Biogard. The tiles, light units, air-conditioning diffusers  and grid are all bonded together to form an impermeable surface.
 
 
The new ceiling grid in the canteen is 600 x 600 with standard acoustic tiles.
 
 
The old ceiling grid in the toilets and comms room is 600 x 600 with standard moisture resistant tiles.

Con di tion :The ceilings throughout are in good condition except in the toilets, comms room and cleaner's store where they should be replaced with new.
 
5. 
Skirtings:
 
 
The old timber skirting boards, when tested With a moisture meter showed low levels of moisture throughout and are in   good condition generally. All   others are either coated metalor vinyl coved skirtings and are in   good condition.
 
6. 
Components:
 
 
Windows and Doors to Front Elevation:  These are constructed  in aluminium frame, double­ glazed with a void of less than 9mm. They are very poor quality and should be replaced with modern fenestration. This would address heat loss Issues, security problems and would also be more visually attractive
 
 
Emergency Exits: The timber emergency exit doors are in reasonable condition but could do with being sanded and repainted.
 
 
Roller-Shutter Doors: The old externalroller-shutter door to the delivery bay was locked shut on the day of inspection so therefore I cannot comment on its operation except to say I was informed that It works properly. The sectional roller door to the warehouse is a recent installation and is working satisfactorily.
 
 
Service Compartments: The timber doors to the service cornpartments are in reasonable condition.These are all painted blue with identifying signage to each one. Ironmongery is in satisfactory condition.
 
 
Other Do ors: The doors to the toilet facilities are timber semi-solid core doors. They are of poor quality. Note: The door to the disabled WC and lobby does not meet the current Building Regulation standard width necessary for wheelchair access. Ideally this door should be directly on to a corridor and not through a lobby.
 
7. 
Plumbing:
 
 
Plumbing   in   general :Plumbing looks to have been recently overhauled and in general appears satisfactory. This should however be thoroughly checked by a qualified certified plumber.
 
8. 
Saninitary   Ware:
 
 
Toilet Facilities: There are four cubicles and four wash hand basins in the female wc's. There are three urinals, two cubicles and three wash hand basins In the male wc's. There is one disabled access we . There is a slop sink in the cleaner's store.
 
 
These facilities are dated and in need of complete overhaul.
 
9. 
Electrical &   Mechanical:
 
 
Both of these installations have recently been reinstated to a high standard. Some of the old boards are still insitu however  and should be removed to avoid any confusion.
 
10.
Sprinkler:
 
 
There is a sprinkler system in this building . It is no longer in use and has been disconnected from the water supply. There are fire hydrants to the front and rear of the building in the event of an emergency.
 
11.
Drainage:
 
 
Surface   Water : The rainwater outlets to all the roof areas are in satisfactory condition.There is a surface water drain running from the warehouse to the front of the building .   It is accessible via sealed manholes in the concrete floor. Some of these are covered over in the clean rooms etc.The road gulley along the width of the property at the rear is completely blocked but there Is no sign of ponding.
 
 
Foul   Sewer : There are three internal sealed manholes in the main corridor just outside the toilet facilities. There was no evidence of foul smells and the soil vent pipes are satisfactory.
 
 
I did not attempt to lift any of the manholes as this would involve breaking the   seals. As there was no evidence of foul smells in the vicinity I would be confident that this aspect of the building is currently in satisfactory condition. Discharge  from the new sanitary appliances in the gowning rooms is pumped from sumps via an overhead route to the external drainage.

12.
Boiler:
 
 
It appears to be a reasonably new model and in working order.
 
13.
Landscaping:
 
 
The landscaped bed to the front of the building is in poor condition and in need of serious maintenance. I would advise that this feature be removed completely and replaced with something new and fresh to enhance the building's appearance.
 
Conclusions :   Even though this building is roughly 40   years old it has been reasonably well maintained . It currently has a Building Energy Rating (BER) of D1 which is remarkable for its age and type of construction. The recent upgrades to the property are of a high standard and the roof finishes are far superior to   those of the adjoining units.
