PART I

Item 1:     Description of Business
 
Company Overview

We were organized as a Nevada corporation on March 5, 1998 under the name "Microbial Solutions, Inc." On February 26, 1999, we changed our name to "Skinvisible, Inc."

We conduct our business through the following wholly owned subsidiaries:

NAME OF SUBSIDIARY
DATE OF
INCORPORATION
JURISDICTION OF
INCORPORATION
Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
f/k/a Manloe Laboratories, Inc.
June 30, 1995
Nevada
Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals (Canada) Inc.
October 20, 1998
Canada

We conduct our primary business activities such as research and development and marketing of our products through Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Nevada corporation. We conduct our marketing activities in Canada through the Canadian entity Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals (Canada) Inc.

Description of Business

We develop innovative polymer delivery vehicles and related compositions that when topically applied hold active ingredients on the skin for up to four hours. We designed a process for combining water soluble and insoluble polymers that is specifically formulated to carry water insoluble active ingredients in water-based products without the use of alcohol, silicones, waxes, or other organic solvents. This enables active agents the ability to perform their intended functions for an extended period of time. Our polymer delivery vehicles allow normal skin respiration and perspiration. The polymer compositions we develop wear off as part of the natural exfoliation process of the skin's outer layer cells.

Products that successfully incorporate our polymer delivery vehicles to date include antimicrobial hand sanitizers, sunscreen products, skincare moisturizers, sunless tanning sprays, incontinence lotion, anti-fungals, and acne. We are in the process of developing polymer formulations that can successfully be utilized in insect repellents and liquid bandages.

Our primary objective is to license our polymer delivery vehicles to established brand manufacturers and marketers of prescription and over-the-counter products in the dermatological, medical, cosmetic, and skincare markets. With the exception of sales to one vendor, our management’s policy is to only sell our polymers to vendors that have executed a license agreement with us. We conduct our research and development in-house and continuously are engaged in developing additional applications for our polymer delivery vehicles.

Manufacture and Distribution

We previously manufactured our polymer delivery vehicles and products that incorporate our polymer delivery on-site at our facility at 6320 South Sandhill Road, Unit #10, Las Vegas, Nevada 89120. We also formerly distributed these manufactured products from our facility. We engaged an outside party that currently handles all of our manufacturing and distribution needs. At the present time, we only perform research and development at our facility.

 
Description of Current Products and Agreements

Antibacterial/Antimicrobial Hand Sanitizer

On July 9, 2003 our wholly-owned subsidiary, Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Skinvisible”) signed a letter of intent with Health First Distributors North America, Inc. of British Columbia, Canada (“Health First’) to grant Health First the exclusive marketing and distribution rights to the antimicrobial hand sanitizer product we manufacture that which utilizes the active ingredient Triclosan 1% (the “Product”) in the North American countries of Canada, United States, and Mexico. Due to Health First’s failure to satisfy certain conditions set forth in the letter of intent, we never entered into a formalized License Agreement and no further negotiations occurred.

Our management continued its attempts to license the exclusive marketing and distribution rights to our antimicrobial hand sanitizer which utilizes the active ingredient Triclosan 1% and entered into a letter of intent with Dermal Defense, Inc. (“Dermal Defense”) on or about March 24, 2004. On February 21, 2005, we entered into a definitive distribution agreement with Dermal Defense. Under the terms of this agreement, Dermal Defense acquired the exclusive marketing and distribution rights in the United States of America, Canada and Mexico for our antimicrobial hand sanitizer.

Dermal Defense acquired these rights for the purchase price of $1,000,000. Dermal Defense has already paid $475,000 of this purchase price. The remaining balance is due and payable on a quarterly basis in the amount of $75,000 or 5% of gross revenue from sales of the licensed product, whichever is greater until paid in full.

In addition and under the terms of the agreement, Dermal Defense is also obligated to pay us a royalty fee quarterly in the amount of $20,000 or 5% of gross revenues generated by Dermal Defense from sales of the product in the quarter, whichever is greater. Under the terms of this agreement, Dermal Defense is prohibited from manufacturing, marketing, distributing, or selling any competing product while this agreement is in full force and effect.

Dermal Defense was granted an option to acquire the exclusive marketing and distribution rights for our antimicrobial hand sanitizer globally. This option expired on March 30, 2005. If this option was exercised, Dermal Defense would have been required to pay us $1 Million and a 5% royalty on all sales of the licensed product globally. We are currently negotiating with Dermal Defense an extension to the termination date of this option.
 
Sunless Tanning Sprays

On June 9, 2004, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Skinvisible"), entered into a Trademark License Agreement and Distribution Agreement ("Distribution Agreement") with Cross Global, Inc. ("Cross Global"), a Delaware corporation, to grant Cross Global the exclusive right to distribute, market, sell, and promote Skinvisible’s proprietary sunless tanning spray products in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, and Israel. Cross Global is utilizing our proprietary polymer formula to manufacture nine additional suncare related products.

The Distribution Agreement provides that Cross Global must pay Skinvisible an up-front royalty in the amount of $1,000,000. Cross Global has paid us $700,000. The remaining $300,000 is due on May 30, 2005.

 
Under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, Cross Global is prohibited from manufacturing, marketing, distributing, or selling any competing product while the Distribution Agreement is in full force and effect.

Sunscreen and Skin Care Products

We developed and successfully tested the application of our polymer delivery vehicles in sunscreen products with SPF 15 and SPF 30, sunless tanning lotions, moisturizing creams, aloe after-sun products, and other skin care products . We currently offer our polymer delivery vehicles for incorporation into these products on a private label basis and have multiple agreements in place.

Description of Other Applications for which no Agreements are Currently in Place

We have developed and successfully tested the application of our polymer delivery vehicles in the following products:
 
                       ·   Incontinence lotion
                       ·   Anti-fungal
                       ·   Anti-acne
                       ·   Anti-Inflammatory
                       ·   Dermal Abrasion/Cosmetic Skin Care
                       ·   Anti-microbial Wound Care
 
Our management is seeking to offer our polymer delivery vehicles for incorporation into these products on a private label basis.

Status of Research and Development for New Applications

We are continuing our research and development toward developing additional applications for our polymer delivery vehicles. We are currently researching the following potential applications for our polymer delivery vehicles:

                       ·   Insect repellants
                       ·   Liquid bandages
                       ·   New antibacterial/antimicrobial hand sanitizer
 
In the event that these studies determine that we can successfully incorporate our topical polymer-based delivery system into any of these products set forth below, we will move forward to secure all appropriate governmental approvals for the distribution of this product in the United States. It is our anticipation that the process to complete all studies and secure all government approvals will take approximately twelve (12) to eighteen (18) months from the beginning of each study.

Insect Repellants

We are in the process of developing a mosquito repellant that incorporates our topical polymer-based delivery systems. The approximate cost of the outside study is $100,000 and our management is seeking to negotiate a deal with a third party where they would pay the cost of the study in exchange for licensing rights.
We expect to commence outside studies on this product once a deal is in place to provide funding for the outside study.
 

New Antibacterial/Antimicrobial Hand Sanitizer
 
We have developed and sold the exclusive marketing and distribution rights to an antimicrobial hand sanitizer product that utilizes the active ingredient Triclosan 1%. We have developed and a currently testing a new antimicrobial hand sanitizer product that utilizes the active ingredient Chlorhexadine. Chlorhexadine is the active agent in scrub soaps currently used in the operating rooms of most hospitals in North America and Europe.
 
We have received positive results from the first study we commissioned and are currently in the process of a second study. We anticipate that the results of the second study will be available before the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2005. This product may require us filing of a New Drug Application with the US FDA because the drug Chlorhexadine is not an approved drug for Hand Sanitizers in the US under the FDA Tentative Final Monograph. If we are required to file a New Drug Application with the US FDA, the development of this product may be both time and cost prohibitive for us. Under such circumstance, we would seek a pharmaceutical partner to fund the remaining studies.

Competition

In terms of our current focus and long-term strategy, our primary products have been identified as the licensing of our polymer-based delivery system technologies and sale of our delivery systems as ingredients for topically administered finished product applications in the prescription Rx and OTC treatment, cosmetic, and skincare formulations. Market research undertaken to date has indicated that, at present, there is reasonably limited competition for our polymer-based delivery systems and related technologies such as delivery vehicles and technologies that offer the same performance capabilities for topically administered products.

Patents, Licenses, Trademarks, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements, or Labor Contracts

Patents

On January 4, 2000, we filed a patent application for our antimicrobial dermal barrier composition. We received patent approval (US Patent No. 6,582,683) for our antimicrobial dermal barrier formulation in February 2003 and received the patent certificate in June 2003.

We filed a patent application on August 20, 2001 titled “Topical Compositions, Topical Composition Precursors, and Methods for Manufacturing and Using” for our Invisicare ® topical compositions and our methodology for manufacturing and utilization of numerous delivery systems and related applications. The United States Patent and Trademark Office split this application into three different applications as follows: (a) Methods of Manufacturing (b) Topical Compositions and (c) Methods of Use. We received patent approval for the application on Methods of Manufacturing (US Patent No. 6,756,059). Our patent applications on Topical Compositions and Methods of Use are still pending.
 
We have also filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) the Patent titled “Topical Compositions, Topical Composition Precursors, and Methods for Manufacturing and Using” for certain foreign countries. As of March 22, 2005, we did not receive any response.
 
We also have two patents currently pending, which cover our sunless tanning spray formula and sunscreen formulas.
 

Trademarks

In January 2002, we received trademark approval in the United States for the name " Invisicare " to identify our family of polymer delivery systems. We have filed this trade name with the Cosmetic, Fragrance and Toiletries Association ("CFTA") as an ingredient for use in skincare and cosmetic formulations.

We have also applied and received trademark approval for the corporate logo “ Skinvisible ” and for our sunless and sun tanning products under the name “ Solerra .”

We are seeking to extend the protection of our trademarks in additional countries where we currently conduct business and those additional countries where we intend to conduct business.

Employees

We currently have five full-time employees including our President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer, Terry Howlett.
 
Research and Development

We incurred research and development expenditures for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2003 and 2004 in the amount of $3,500 and $17,300 respectively.

Government Regulation
 
We are not subject to any significant or material federal or state government regulation in connection with the research and development and licensing of our innovative topical polymer-based delivery systems and technologies.

We are not subject to any significant or material environmental regulation in the normal operation of our business.

Item 2:              Description of Property

Currently, we do not own any real estate. We are leasing our executive offices and research facility. We are located at 6320 South Sandhill Road, Suite 10, Las Vegas, Nevada 89120 .

Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals, Inc., our wholly owed subsidiary, owns the manufacturing and laboratory equipment at this location.

Item 3:               Legal Proceedings

Subsequent to the reporting period on March 8, 2005, we initiated litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada against Health First Distributors North America, Inc., a British Columbia corporation (“HFD”).  The complaint seeks declaratory relief to the effect that the parties must arbitrate a dispute between them in Las Vegas, Nevada, as required by the parties’ July 9, 2003, letter of intent as amended by a subsequent letter dated October 29, 2003.  The underlying dispute concerns whether we must return what we contend was a non-refundable deposit of $100,000 USD towards North American distribution rights for our products.  HFD has claimed in demand letters that we must return the deposit and has threatened to bring suit in British Columbia if we fail to do so.  We disagree with HFD’s position and have demanded that the dispute be arbitrated in Las Vegas, Nevada, as required by the parties’ agreement.  HFD has refused.  Our
 
 
lawsuit seeks only a declaration from the court that arbitration is required and that it must take place in Las Vegas, Nevada.  We served the summons and complaint on March 17, 2005. As of March 31, 2005, HFD had not answered or otherwise responded to the litigation.

Subsequent to the reporting period, Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and our Chief Executive Officer, Terry Howlett, were named as defendants in a lawsuit initiated in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on March 11, 2005. The lawsuit seeks a judgment against all defendants jointly and severally in the amount of $1,025,000 plus other costs, interest and expenses as the court finds appropriate. The underlying dispute concerns the circumstances under which the plaintiffs purchased common stock in Dermal Defense, Inc., a Nevada corporation. We believe that the lawsuit against Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and our Chief Executive Officer is without merit and plan to file a motion to dismiss.

Item 4:     Submission of Matters to a Vote of the Security Holders

No other matters were submitted to our security holders for a vote during the reporting period.

Subsequent to the reporting period on January 10, 2005, we held our annual shareholder meeting. The meeting was called for the purpose of electing directors to the board of directors and to transact any other business that may properly come before the meeting. The number of votes present in person or by proxy was sufficient to constitute a quorum. A majority of the shareholders elected Terry Howlett, Jost Steinbruchel, and Greg McCartney to serve on the board of directors until the next annual meeting of the shareholders, or until removed by other action as allowed by the corporate bylaws. The tabulation of the votes was as follows:

Item 5:     Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

Market Information

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which is sponsored by the National Association of Securities Dealers (“NASD”). The OTC Bulletin Board is a network of security dealers who buy and sell stock. The dealers are connected by a computer network that provides information on current "bids" and "asks", as well as volume information. Our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “SKVI.”

The following table sets forth the range of high and low bid quotations for our Common Stock for each of the periods indicated as reported by the NASD OTCBB. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

On March 22, 2005 closing price per share of our common stock, as reported by the NASD OTC Bulletin Board, was $0.19.

Penny Stock

Until our shares qualify for inclusion in the Nasdaq system, the public trading, if any, of our common stock will be on the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of, the common stock offered. Our common stock is subject to provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), commonly referred to as the "penny stock rule." Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks, and Rule 15g-9(d)incorporates the definition of "penny stock" that is found in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The SEC generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. If our common stock is deemed to be a penny stock, trading in the shares will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. "Accredited investors" are persons with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse. For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such security and must have the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a
 
 
risk disclosure document, prepared by the SEC, relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks held in an account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of a broker-dealer to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability of our shareholders to sell their shares.

Holders of Our Common Stock

As of March 31, 2005, there were 174 registered holders of our common stock.

Dividends

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

1.   we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or

2.   our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential
     rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

We have not declared any dividends, and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Our increase in revenue is primarily attributable to the receipt of payments under our agreements entered into during the reporting period with Dermal Defense and Cross Global. We received $325,000 for distribution and licensing rights granted in the year ended December 31, 2004. We generated $174,020 in revenue from product sales in the year ended December 31, 2004.

 
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $1,228,163 for the year ended December 31, 2004. Our expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 consisted of selling and administrative costs of $1,084,674, depreciation and amortization of $111,339, and stock based compensation in the amount of $32,150. We incurred expenses in the amount of $1,456,087 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Our expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 consisted of selling and administrative costs of $1,016,020, depreciation and amortization of $61,815, and stock based compensation in the amount of $378,252. The decrease in expenses from fiscal 2003 to fiscal 2004 is primarily attributable to the payment of significantly less stock based compensation.
 
Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $804,972, compared to a net loss of $1,310,220 in the prior year.

Assets

As of December 31, 2004, we had current assets of $248,063 and total assets in the amount of $1,547,570. As of December 31, 2004, our current assets consisted of cash of $92,434, accounts receivable of $19,940, inventory of $112,642, $21,126 due from a related party, and $1,921 in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Liabilities and Stockholders Deficit

Our total liabilities as of December 31, 2004 were $969,317. Our liabilities consisted of accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the amount of $346,317 and unearned revenue in the amount of $623,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2004, we had current assets of $248,063. Our total current liabilities as of December 31, 2004 were $969,317. As a result, on December 31, 2004, we had a working capital deficit of $721,254.
 
Management believes that we will have sufficient capital to finance our operations for the next twelve months based upon revenues anticipated to be received in the current fiscal year and royalty payments due under the Agreements with Cross Global and Dermal Defense. 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2004, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

Going Concern  

Our independent auditors have stated in their Auditor’s Report included in the Form 10-KSB that we have incurred operating losses, accumulated deficit, and negative cash flow from operations. As of December 31, 2004, we had incurred cumulative net losses of approximately $10,561,000.

Our ability to raise additional capital through future issuance of common stock is unknown. The successful development of our business plan and our attainment of profitable operations is unknown. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 
Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized during the period in which the revenues are received. Costs and expenses are recognized during the period in which they are incurred.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM




To the Board of Directors
Skinvisible, Inc.
Las Vegas, Nevada

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Skinvisible, Inc. as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Skinvisible, Inc. as of December 31, 2004, and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, HISTORY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES

Description of business - Skinvisible, Inc., (referred to as the “Company”) is focused on the development and manufacture of innovative topical polymer-based delivery system technologies and formulations incorporating its patent-pending formula/process for combining hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymer emulsions. The technologies and formulations have broad industry applications within the pharmaceutical, over-the-counter, personal skincare and cosmetic arenas. The Company’s antibacterial/antimicrobial hand sanitizer formulations, available for private label commercialization opportunities, offer skincare solutions for the healthcare, food service, industrial, cosmetic and salon industries, as well as for personal use in the retail marketplace. The Company maintains manufacturing, executive and sales offices in Las Vegas, Nevada.

History -   Skinvisible, Inc. ( referred to as the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on March 6, 1998 under the name of Microbial Solutions, Inc. The Company underwent a name change on February 26, 1999, when it changed its name to Skinvisible, Inc. The Company’s subsidiary’s name of Manloe Labs, Inc. was also changed to Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

During 1999, the Company also formed a subsidiary titled Skinvisible International, Inc. and Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals (Canda), Inc. On January 1, 2000, the Company decided to discontinue operations of its subsidiary, Skinvisible International, Inc.

On April 20, 2000, the Company formed a subsidiary titled safe4Hours, Inc. for the purpose of marketing its own proprietary brands of products.

Skinvisible, Inc. together with its subsidiaries shall herein be collectively referred to as the “Company”.

Going concern - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred cumulative net losses of approximately $10,561,000 since its inception and requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities to take place. The company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of the common stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

Principles of consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Definition of fiscal year - The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

Use of estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition - Revenues are recognized during the period in which the revenues are received. Costs and expenses are recognized during the period in which they are incurred.
 
 
SKINVISIBLE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
 
1.     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES (continued)

Inventory - Substantially all inventory consist of finished goods and are valued based upon first-in first-out ("FIFO") cost, not in excess of market. The determination of whether the carrying amount of inventory requires a write-down is based on an evaluation of inventory.

Fixed assets - Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 3 to 10 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income (expense).

The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful life of fixed assets or whether the remaining balance of fixed assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the fixed assets in measuring their recoverability.

Goodwill and intangible assets - Beginning January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. According to this statement, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer subject to amortization, but rather an annual assessment of impairment by applying a fair-value based test. Fair value for goodwill is based on discounted cash flows, market multiples and/or appraised values as appropriate. Under SFAS No. 142, the carrying value of assets are calculated at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows.

SFAS 142 requires the Company to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount on an annual basis to determine if there is potential impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the fair value of the goodwill within the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Upon adoption and during 2002, the Company completed an impairment review and did not recognize any impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets already included in the financial statements. The Company expects to receive future benefits from previously acquired goodwill over an indefinite period of time. Accordingly, beginning January 1, 2002, the Company has foregone all related amortization expense. Prior to January 1, 2002, the Company amortized goodwill over an estimated useful life ranging from 3 to 15 years using the straight-line method.

Fair value of financial instruments - Financial accounting standards Statement No. 107, “Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, requires the Company to disclose, when reasonably attainable, the fair market values of its assets and liabilities which are deemed to be financial instruments. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature.

Earnings (loss) per share - Basic earnings (loss) per share exclude any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding common stocks during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive.

Income taxes - The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
1.     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES (continued)

Comprehensive income (loss) - The Company has no components of other comprehensive income. Accordingly, net loss equals comprehensive loss for all periods.

Segment information - The Company discloses segment information in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” which uses the Management approach to determine reportable segments. The Company operates under one segment.

Advertising costs - Advertising costs incurred in the normal course of operations are expensed as incurred. No advertising costs have been incurred for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

Research and development costs - Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred. Costs incurred to internally develop the product, including costs incurred during all phases of development, are charged to expense as incurred.

Expenses of offering - The Company accounts for specific incremental costs directly to a proposed or actual offering of securities as a direct charge against the gross proceeds of the offering.

Stock-based compensation - The Company applies Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and Related Interpretations, in accounting for stock options issued to employees. Under APB No. 25, employee compensation cost is recognized when estimated fair value of the underlying stock on date of the grant exceeds exercise price of the stock option. For stock options and warrants issued to non-employees, the Company applies SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which requires the recognition of compensation cost based upon the fair value of stock options at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The following table represents the effect on net loss and loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value based method and recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", to stock-based employee compensation:

As required, the pro forma disclosures above include options granted for years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004. Consequently, the effects of applying SFAS 123 for providing pro forma disclosures may not be representative of the effects on reported net income for future years until all options outstanding are included in the pro forma disclosures.

In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure". SFAS No. 148 amends the transition and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123. The Company is currently evaluating SFAS No. 148 to determine if it will adopt SFAS No. 123 to account for employee stock options using the fair value method and, if so, when to begin transition to that method.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES (continued)

New accounting pronouncements - In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendments of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections . The Company does not believe that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on its financial statements.

In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities. This statement requires the recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity when the liability is incurred versus the date the Company commits to an exit plan. In addition, this statement states the liability should be initially measured at fair value. The statement is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on its financial statements.

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN No. 45"), Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others an interpretation of SFAS No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34, was issued. FIN No. 45 clarifies the requirements of SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, relating to a guarantor's accounting for, and disclosure of, the issuance of certain types of guarantees. The adoption of the provisions of FIN No. 45 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. This interpretation establishes standards for identifying a variable interest entity and for determining under what circumstances a variable interest entity should be consolidated with its primary beneficiary. Until now, a company generally has included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. Interpretation No. 46 changes that by requiring a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or is entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on its financial statements.

Reclassification - The financial statements from 2004 and 2003 reflect certain reclassifications, which have no effect on net income, to conform to classifications in the current year.

On October 29, 2003, the parties revised the letter of intent. Despite repeated assurances of payment from Health First, the Company did not received the second of the required non-refundable deposits in the amount of $100,000 that was due on November 30, 2003. As a result of Health First’s failure to satisfy the conditions precedent to entering into a formalized License Agreement, the Company has terminated negotiations with Health First and intend to retain the $100,000 non-refundable deposit previously paid by Health First as provided in the Letter of Intent. Accordingly, the Company recorded the forfeited deposit as income for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Item 8:     Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

There have been no changes in or disagreements with our accountants since our formation required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 304 of Regulation S-B.

Item 8A:            Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2004. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Terry Howlett. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors, which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Item 8B:     Other Information

None.

For purposes of this Code, each reference in this policy to "Associates " includes all Skinvisible, Inc. (“ SKVI”) employees, officers and Board members.

SKVI Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth certain Company policies for ethical business conduct. The Code does not create any contractual rights of any kind between the Company and an SKVI Associate or between the Company and third parties.



All SKVI Associates, officers and directors must conduct themselves according to the guidelines described in this Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and avoid the appearance of inappropriate conduct. We will provide this Code to and expect it to be followed by all of the Company's Associates.

INTRODUCTION

This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (this "Code") covers a wide range of business practices and procedures, but does not cover every issue that may arise. Its purpose is to set out basic principles and policies to guide all Company Associates. It is designed to give you a clear and broad understanding of the conduct expected of our Associates to promote ethical and honest behavior and integrity in all matters, deter wrongdoing and at all times maintain the confidence of our shareholders, our customers and the outside community in our systems of controls.

If a law conflicts with the policies in this Code, Associates must comply with the law. However, if a local custom or policy conflicts with this Code, Associates must comply with this Code. Associates who have any questions about these conflicts are urged to ask their manager or the responsible party identified in this Code for guidance about the situation.

Anyone who violates this Code is subject to disciplinary action in accordance with this Code and other Company policies and procedures. If Associates are in a situation that they believe may violate or lead to a violation of this Code, they should follow the compliance procedures described throughout this Code.

No code of business ethics and conduct can replace the thoughtful behavior of an ethical Associate. The purpose of this Code is to provide a guide on how to recognize and deal with ethical issues, to provide mechanisms to report non-compliant conduct and to foster a culture of honesty, integrity and accountability.

Section 2

COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW AND THIS CODE

All Associates are responsible for complying with the laws of the U.S. or the province and country in which they are employed. Associates should become aware of and understand the laws that affect their job performance, even if these laws are not listed below. While each and every law and regulation with which the Company must comply cannot be described, a few examples are listed below:

Wage and Hour and Other Labor Laws

It is Company policy to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company does business relating to the payment of wages, overtime, time off, prohibitions and limitations   on the employment of minors, employment of aliens and related topics. As described in Section 6 below, appropriate documentation needs to be maintained by all responsible Associates so that the Company can demonstrate its compliance with these laws and regulations.

Antitrust Laws

Very complex antitrust laws prohibit making agreements with competitors or customers to limit competition or sharing information, such as pricing information, that may limit or restrict competition. To prove an antitrust violation, the government or private litigant does not have to demonstrate that the parties had a written agreement to limit or restrict competition. Violations can be inferred from the parties' conduct. Therefore, Associates should not contact any competitor about the pricing of our products or services, the timing or content of our sales events, or any other aspect of the Company's competition efforts . Refer all questions or inquiries from outside attorneys or regulators to Management or to the Human Resources Department .

Foreign Corrupt Practices Act

SKVI's business relationships outside the U.S. must comply with the requirements of certain U.S. laws that impose on the Company standards of conduct for its business throughout the world, including the prohibition of any direct or indirect payment or transfer of Company funds or assets to suppliers, vendors, or government officials in the form of bribes, kickbacks or other payoffs.

Securities Laws

U.S. federal and state securities laws and the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") impose laws, rules and regulations regarding the use and public disclosure of corporate inside information ("nonpublic information"). The purpose of these regulations is to protect the interests of the Company, its shareholders and the investing public by providing them with timely, complete and accurate information about significant corporate developments which might affect the value of our stock.

These laws, rules and regulations require the Company, its Associates, and agents to ensure that information about the Company is not used impermissibly in connection with the purchase and sale of our stock. Violations of the securities laws can result in substantial civil and criminal prosecution as well as fines and penalties. Refer to the discussion of nonpublic information that appears in Section 5.

3

 
Harassment and Discrimination

The Company's policy is to promote and maintain a work environment in which all Associates, customers, suppliers, vendors, and manufacturers are treated with respect and decency. The Company discourages any form of discriminatory, disrespectful or harassing behavior by or towards any Associate, customer, supplier, vendor or manufacturer.

Health and Safety

The Company strives to provide each Associate with a safe and healthy work environment. Associates share responsibility for maintaining a safe workplace by following safety and health rules and practices and immediately reporting accidents, injuries and unsafe equipment, practices or conditions.

Threats or acts of violence or intimidation made by Associates or other representatives of the Company are   prohibited. Associates must report to work in condition to perform their duties, free from the influence of   illegal drugs or alcohol. The use of illegal drugs will not be tolerated. The use of alcohol is not permitted in the workplace except for limited Company approved use at certain company-sponsored events and celebrations.

Associates’ Obligations

Associates are required to report violations and suspected violations of laws and of this Code. In all cases, there can be no retaliation or reprisal against an Associate for making good faith reports and every effort will be made to maintain confidentiality. Retaliation, retribution or harassment against any Associate making good faith reports is prohibited and is grounds for discipline, up to and including termination.

Associates should report these violations and any potential criminal violations to Management or the Human Resources Department .

Associates are required to cooperate with investigations into Code or legal violations and must always be truthful and forthcoming during the course of these investigations. If contacted by external legal authorities, Associates must first contact Management or the Human Resources Department.

All SKVI Associates have important responsibilities under this Code and are responsible for setting the tone for ethical behavior and integrity. Seek guidance when necessary. When in doubt, ask Management or the Human Resources Department.

Section 3

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
 
A conflict of interest situation can arise when any Associate takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform Company work objectively and effectively. Associates must not engage in any business activity, employment or outside interest that interferes with their duties to the Company, divides their loyalty, or creates an actual or apparent conflict of interest without appropriate approval. If an Associate is not sure whether a relationship or transaction poses a conflict, seek guidance from Management or the Human Resources Department . Keep in mind that this Code cannot address every potential conflict, so use common sense and seek guidance when questions arise.
 
General Principles

An Associate working simultaneously for a competitor, customer or supplier without appropriate approval generally constitutes a conflict of interest. Associates are not permitted to work for a competitor as an employee, officer, director, representative or in any other capacity. The best policy is to avoid any direct or indirect business connection with the Compan y ' s customers, suppliers or competitors, except on behalf of the Company.

Associates may not have a financial interest in a transaction with the Company, even an indirect interest through, for example, a family member, unless the Associate has obtained the prior written approval of the SKVI CEO.

Without prior approval, Associates may not have any financial interest in customers or suppliers that could cause divided loyalty or the appearance of divided loyalty.

Although an SKVI Associate may serve as a director or trustee of a charity or other nonprofit organization to which the Company may contribute, if an Associate wishes to serve as an actual "employee" (and not just as a director or trustee) of a charity or other nonprofit organization, they must obtain prior written approval of the SKVI CEO.

Associates are prohibited from benefiting through opportunities that are discovered through the use of corporate property, information, or position, without prior written approval of the SKVI   CEO. Associates also shall not compete with the Company directly or indirectly. Associates owe a duty to the Company to advance its legitimate interests when the opportunity to do so arises.

Executive Officers and Outside Directors

The board of   directors or a designated committee must approve a director or an executive officer's direct or indirect interest in a material transaction involving the Company.

Officers of the Company must obtain the approval of the board of directors or a designated committee of   all outside directors for all employment or outside directorships with other public companies.

5


Section 4

LOANS, TRAVEL ADVANCES, USE OF COMPANY ASSETS

Loans

Loans from the Company to directors and executive officers of the Company are prohibited in accordance with applicable federal law. SKVI CEO or CFO must approve any loan from the Company to other Associates.

Travel Advances

The Company may advance cash, reasonable in relation to the anticipated expenses, to Associates, in accordance with Company policy, to cover reimbursable travel and similar expenses incurred while performing authorized activities for a business purpose on behalf of the Company. Associates must settle the advances through standard company documentation to show the extent to which such reimbursable expenses were incurred and reimburse any unused advance to the Company.

Protection and Proper Use of Company Assets

Company assets, including its proprietary information, are to be used to advance the Company's business. Associates should protect the Company ' s assets and ensure their efficient use. Theft, carelessness, and waste have a direct impact on the Company's profitability. Associates should report immediately any suspected incident of fraud or theft.

6


Section 5

PROTECTING COMPANY INFORMATION

Associates have an obligation to safeguard the Company's nonpublic information and other confidential information, including information entrusted to the Company by its customers, vendors and suppliers. Nonpublic information includes, but is not limited to, items such as financial or technical data, sales, intellectual property (such as trade secrets and "know-how"), pricing, market data, salary information, databases, unpublished financials, plans for acquisitions or divestitures, information about major contracts, suppliers, vendors, designs, expansion plans, contraction plans, financing transactions, major management changes before such changes are publicly announced, and personal information about Associates that has not been disclosed or made available to the general public. Associates should not share any material nonpublic information with anyone outside the Company unless it is necessary or appropriate as part of their work responsibilities and the appropriate safeguard, such as a signed nondisclosure agreement, is in place. Associates have a continuing obligation to preserve nonpublic information even after their employment or other relationship with the Company ends.

General Principles

 
·
Do not disclose any material nonpublic information to anyone outside the Company, except when disclosure is required for business purposes and appropriate steps have been taken, such as through the execution of a nondisclosure agreement, to prevent misuse of the information.

 
·
Unauthorized use or distribution of material nonpublic information would not only violate Company policy but could also be illegal and result in civil or criminal penalties.

 
·
Associates trading in SKVI stock while in possession of material, nonpublic information concerning SKVI or providing any material nonpublic information to others so that they may trade in SKVI stock is illegal and could result in civil and criminal prosecution and penalties.

 
·
Associates should treat the nonpublic information they receive from other companies confidentially. Any Associate with questions about the use of other companies' nonpublic information should contact Management or the Human Resources Department for guidance.

 
·
Associates should not answer questions from the media or financial analysts; refer all such inquiries to the CEO or CFO.

Section 6

DISCLOSURE, FINANCIAL RECORDS, ACCURATE RECORD-KEEPING AND RETENTION OF RECORDS AND USE OF E-MAIL AND INTERNET SERVICES

Public Disclosure

The U.S. securities laws and regulations require the preparation and disclosure of information about the Company's finances, business and operations. As a result, each Associate has a duty to:

 
·
Comply with the Company's authorization procedures to ensure that the Company's transactions are properly authorized.

·   Keep records that accurately, fully and timely reflect material Company transactions.
 
 
·
Provide and disclose information concerning Company transactions, assets and obligations that is truthful and accurate and does not omit a fact that would alter the public's understanding or perception of the information.

SKVI's policy is to comply with its reporting and disclosure obligations and maintain the internal controls necessary and required to assure compliance with the Company's legal obligations. If an Associate has questions about these matters, they should consult Management or the Human Resources Department to report any suspected violations in the manner described in Section 8.

Company Records

The Company's records are the basis for managing the Company's business and for fulfilling its obligations to shareholders, customers, suppliers, vendors and regulatory authorities. The Company requires honest, accurate and timely recording and reporting of information in order to make responsible business decisions and to comply with SEC disclosure obligations. Every Company financial record , including time sheets, sales records and expense report s, must be complete, accurate and in accordance with all applicable laws.

Associates must:
Associates must not:
8


The Company's books, records, accounts and financial statements, including tax returns, expense reimbursements, sales information, time sheets, and other documents and reports (and including those submitted to external agencies), must be maintained in reasonable detail, must be clear and accurate, must appropriately and accurately reflect the Company's transactions, and must conform to applicable legal and accounting requirements and to the Company's system of internal controls. All entries in the Company's books and records, including department accounts and individual expense reports, must clearly and accurately reflect each transaction. Unrecorded or other "off the books" agreements are not   permitted.

Business Communications Systems

Business records and communications, including e-mails, internal memos and reports, often become public, and Associates should avoid exaggeration, derogatory remarks, guesswork, or inappropriate characterizations of people and companies.

The Company's e-mail system and Internet services are provided for work related purposes and not for personal matters. Incidental and occasional personal use is permitted, but is not permitted for any purpose inconsistent with this Code. Do not access, send or download any information that is illegal or could be insulting or offensive to another person, such as sexually explicit messages, cartoons or jokes, unwelcome propositions, ethnic or racial slurs, or any other message that could be viewed as harassment.

E-mail messages, voice mail and computer information are considered Company property and Associates should not have any expectation of privacy. Unless prohibited by law, the Company reserves the right to monitor, access and disclose this information as necessary for business purposes or as the Company otherwise deems appropriate. Use good judgment and do not access, send a message, or store any information that would be inappropriate if seen or heard by other individuals. Violation of these policies may result in disciplinary actions up to and including discharge by the Company.

Record Retention

Retain or discard records in accordance with the Company's guidelines on record retention. If Associates become aware of a threatened or pending litigation or governmental investigation, immediately consult with Management or the Human Resources Department about the retention of records.

Section 7

GIFTS, ENTERTAINMENT, FAIR DEALING AND COMPETITION

Gifts and Entertainment

Receipt of a gift can create a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest. Associates must not, without approval of a Company officer, solicit or accept, directly or indirectly, from any actual or potential supplier, vendor or competitor or other third party with whom the Company has or may reasonably expect to have a business relationship, any bribe, commission, kickback, gratuity or gift, except for personal, non-cash gifts of nominal value or customary and normal entertainment. To assist in determining whether a gift is acceptable, Associates should ask whether accepting the gift or services would be perceived by others, after the event, to have influenced such Associate's judgment or action? Will the person offering it think such Associate has been compromised? If the answer to either of these questions is "yes", the Associate should refuse the gift gracefully, advising the giver of the Company's policy prohibiting its acceptance. The Company selects suppliers and vendors on merit, considering among other things, price, quality, and reputation.

Associates may accept occasional meals or other forms of reasonable entertainment from suppliers or vendors as a courtesy extended during the normal course of business, provided the entertainment is not offered to influence your business decisions. If the entertainment proposed is more than reasonable, the approval of a Company officer must be obtained.

Competition and Fair Dealing

SKVI seeks to outperform our competition fairly and honestly and seeks competitive advantages through superior performance, never through unethical or illegal business practices. Each Associate should deal fairly with the Company's customers, suppliers, competitors and other Associates. No Associate should take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other intentional unfair-dealing practice.

Section 8

WAIVERS OF TIIE CODE OF BUSINESS ETHICS, COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE CODE

Only the Board of Directors or its designated committee can grant a waiver of this Code for executive officers and Board members. Such waivers may be granted only in instances in which the specific facts are consistent with this Code's fundamental purpose of promoting integrity and ethical behavior on the part of each member of the Company. The Company will disclose such waiver to the extent required by applicable law or regulation.

For Associates other than executive officers and directors, only the CEO can grant waivers from this Code.

Obligation to Report Violations in Good Faith: Associates are required to report or cause to be reported, in good faith, any of the following:
Reporting Procedures: Any of the above matters should be reported to Management or to the Human Resources Department. Each report will be logged, retained and investigated.

If in reporting any questionable accounting, auditing, financial reporting, or internal controls matter, a SKVI Associate wishes to provide the report confidentially and anonymously, the report will be accepted on that basis. In reviewing and considering that report, the Company will maintain the confidentiality of the report. There may be times or circumstances, however, where for legal reasons (and as may be permitted by applicable federal law) the Company is not possible or appropriate to maintain the confidentiality of such matter, in which case we will seek to avoid any prejudice to the Associate or retaliation against the Associate.

All SKVI Associates have a responsibility to assist and cooperate in any investigation of any of the above matters, whether involving a report or information submitted by an Associate or by anyone else. All SKVI Associates are also required to assist in any investigation by any regulatory or law enforcement agency and Associates must promptly notify Management or to the Human Resources Department if an Associate is contacted by any such agency.

No Retaliation: Retaliation against "whistleblowers" is illegal under United States law and certain foreign laws, and SKVI will assure that the legal protections afforded by law to such "whistleblowers" are maintained. Accordingly, no SKVI Associates will be subject to retaliation or discipline for providing, in good faith, reports or other information concerning suspected violations of law or Company policy or of any of the other above matters. If Associates believe that they are the subject of retaliation or that their job status has been adversely affected as a result of
 
11

 
reporting under this Code, Associates should contact Management or the Human Resources Department.

Compliance Procedures: The responsibility for administering this Code rests with each Associate of the Company. Associates are responsible for making sure that they comply with this Code.
