NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

The condensed financial statements include the accounts of Interleukin Genetics, Inc. (the Company) as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The condensed financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009 include the accounts of the Company and its then wholly-owned subsidiaries. Prior to the opening of business on July 1, 2009 the Company and its then wholly-owned subsidiary AJG Brands, Inc. sold substantially all of the Alan James Group business and assets of AJG Brands, Inc. Operating results for AJG Brands, Inc. are reflected herein in discontinued operations.

The financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. As of March 31, 2009 all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed financial statements, which, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the entire fiscal year.

For information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and Note 4 to our condensed financial statements contained herein.

The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting , which established standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual and interim financial statements, and requires that companies report financial and descriptive information about their reportable segments based on management’s approach. The standard also established related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. As a result of the acquisition of the assets and business of the Alan James Group in August 2006 and until prior to the opening of business on July 1, 2009 when substantially all of the assets and business were sold, the Company had two reportable segments: Personalized Health and Consumer Products.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company has one segment remaining, the genetic test business, which was formerly defined as the Personalized Health segment and is reflected herein as continuing operations. The Company develops genetic tests for sale into the emerging personalized health market and performs testing services that can help individuals improve and maintain their health through preventive measures. The Company’s principal operations and markets are located in the United States.

The Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after March 31, 2010 through the date of issuance of these financial statements. The Company did not have any material recognizable or non recognizable subsequent events.

Note 2—Operating Matters and Liquidity

The Company has experienced net operating losses since its inception through March 31, 2010, including a net loss of $2.0 million for the three months then ended, contributing to an accumulated deficit of $93.5 million as of March 31, 2010. The Company has increased its borrowings at March 31, 2010 to $9.0 million under its line of credit with Pyxis Innovations Inc., an affiliate of Alticor (“Pyxis”).

The Company continues to take steps to control expenses and enhance its liquidity and cash flow. Prior to the opening of business on July 1, 2009, the Company sold substantially all of the Alan James Group business of its subsidiary AJG Brands, Inc. for $4.6 million consisting of $4.4 million in cash and a $0.2 million holdback. The Company decided to sell these non-core assets as a way to concentrate on its genetic test business. The Company will no longer have the positive cash flow of this business but will have lower administration and operating costs as a result of the focus on the genetic test business. The Company continues to further reduce operating costs such as consulting and research expenses to focus on our product development efforts. We continue our efforts to sublease unused office space to further offset operating costs.

On March 5, 2010, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with certain institutional investors to sell $5.3 million of securities in a registered direct offering. Net proceeds of approximately $4.9 million were received on March 10, 2010. In addition, the Company has access to $5.3 million of available credit under the credit facility with Pyxis which permits borrowings any time prior to June 30, 2011.

We expect that our current financial resources, including the amount available under our credit facility with Pyxis, are adequate to fund our current and planned operations for the next 18 months.

Note 3—Discontinued Operations

In August 2006, the Company acquired the assets and business of the Alan James Group, LLC (the Alan James Group). The Alan James Group was a provider of products and services in the consumer healthcare marketplace and the acquired business primarily developed, marketed and sold nutritional products and engaged in related activities.

Prior to the opening of business on July 1, 2009, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, AJG Brands, Inc. entered into an asset purchase agreement with Nutraceutical Corporation and Pep Products, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nutraceutical Corporation, pursuant to which substantially all of the Alan James Group business and assets of AJG Brands, Inc. were sold to Pep Products, Inc. for an aggregate price of $4,572,292. The proceeds consisted of a $200,000 holdback reflected in other assets and $4,372,292 of cash received on July 1, 2009. The holdback is available to satisfy potential amounts owed to the buyer pursuant to the agreement and may be payable to the Company on July 1, 2011. The assets sold consisted primarily of accounts receivable, inventories, property and equipment and other assets related to the business, which primarily develops, markets and sells nutritional supplements and related products into retail consumer channels. The buyer did not assume accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Subsequent to the closing, AJG Brands, Inc.’s name was changed to Interleukin Brands, Inc. (“IBI”). The assets remaining in IBI consisted primarily of certain remaining accounts receivable and inventory which have been fully reserved for. Liabilities at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 primarily consist of accruals for inventory in the retail channel with the right of return.

The Company recognized a loss on the sale of discontinued operations of $1,346,202 in the quarter ended June 30, 2009 including direct costs of the disposition of $674,243.

AJG Brands, Inc.’s sales reported in discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $1,547,531.

The following is a summary of the net assets sold at the close of business on June 30, 2009.

Accounts receivable	$	1,114,835
Inventories		783,512
Property and equipment, net.		21,073
Other assets		72,993
	$	1,992,413

Note 4—Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from genetic testing services is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, service has been rendered, the sales price is determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Service is deemed to be rendered when the results have been reported to the individual who ordered the test. To the extent that tests have been prepaid but results have not yet been reported, recognition of all related revenue is deferred. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company has deferred revenue of $346,505 and $107,792, respectively, for tests that have been prepaid but results have not yet been reported.

Revenue from product sales is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred and title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, the sales price is determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company has no consignment sales. Product revenue is reduced for allowances and adjustments, including returns, discontinued items, discounts, trade promotions and slotting fees.

Revenue from contract research and development is recognized over the term of the contract as the Company performs its obligations under that contract (including revenue from Alticor, a related party).

Accounts Receivable

Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement in connection with the Company’s sale of substantially all of the Alan James Group business and assets, the Company retained non acquired accounts receivable in the amount of $180,605 which was fully reserved for as uncollectible at June 30, 2009. At March 31, 2010, the balance in such non acquired accounts approximated $107,000, which is deemed uncollectable and has been fully reserved for. Prior to the sale, trade accounts receivable was stated at estimated net realizable value, which is generally the invoiced amount less any estimated discount related to payment terms. The Company offered its Consumer Product customers a 2% cash discount if payment was made within 30 days of the invoice date, however, most customers took the discount regardless of when payment occurred.

Inventory

Inventory on hand at March 31, 2010 consists of product genetic test kits related to our Inherent Health ® brand of genetic tests. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. No overhead or administrative costs are included in inventory. No inventory reserve is required at March 31, 2010 as all test kits are available for sale and management has determined will be sold. When a kit is sold the corresponding cost of the kit is recorded as cost of goods sold and removed from inventory.

As part of the Company’s sale of substantially all of the Alan James Group business and assets, all non acquired inventory amounting to approximately $129,000 was scrapped and written off in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Inventory consisted of the following at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

	2010		2009
Continuing Operations
Raw materials	$	134,429	$	103,479
Finished goods		33,085		14,951
Total inventory, net	$	167,514	$	118,430

Income Taxes

The preparation of its financial statements requires the Company to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates, including those outside the United States, which may be subject to certain risks that ordinarily would not be expected in the United States. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes , which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of the enacted tax law; the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Significant management judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, its deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets of $27.0 million as of March 31, 2010, due to uncertainties related to its ability to utilize these assets. The valuation allowance is based on management’s estimates of taxable income by jurisdiction in which the Company operates and the period over which the deferred tax assets will be recoverable. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates or management adjusts these estimates in future periods, the Company may need to adjust its valuation allowance, which could materially impact its financial position and results of operations.

Due to recent changes in Massachusetts corporate income tax regulations, the Company will be filing a combined tax return with Alticor affiliated entities and as a result, the Company’s net operating losses (for state tax purposes) will be fully utilized at March 31, 2010. The combined filing will have no impact on the Company's financial statements due to the full valuation allowance that offsets any deferred tax assets.

The Company reviews its recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company reviews all material tax positions for all years open to statute to determine whether it is more likely than not that the positions taken would be sustained based on the technical merits of those positions. The Company did not recognize any adjustments for uncertain tax positions during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share , which establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. Basic and diluted net loss per share was determined by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for all the periods presented, as the effect of the potential common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive due to the loss in each period. Potential common stock equivalents excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share consists of stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debt as described in the table below:

	As of March 31,
	2010		2009
Options outstanding		1,493,367		2,225,667
Warrants outstanding		2,150,000		400,000
Convertible preferred stock		28,160,200		28,160,200
Convertible debt		1,584,981		704,436
Total		33,388,548		31,490,303

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company, using available market information, has determined the estimated fair values of financial instruments. The stated values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of long-term convertible debt approximates its fair value as the rate applicable to such debt reflects periodic changes in overall market interest rates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds we have on deposit with our commercial bank. These funds are available on demand and could be in excess of FDIC insurance limits.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Please see the discussion of “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 4, Significant Accounting Policies contained in the Notes to Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Note 5—Strategic Alliance with Alticor Inc.

Since March 2003, the Company has maintained a broad strategic alliance with several affiliates of the Alticor family of companies to develop and market novel nutritional and skin care products. The alliance initially included an equity investment, a multi-year research and development agreement, a licensing agreement with royalties on marketed products, the deferment of outstanding loan repayment and the refinancing of bridge financing obligations. The alliance continues to evolve and recent events under the alliance are described in this Note 5.

On February 25, 2008, the Company entered into a research agreement (RA8) with an affiliate of Alticor, effective January 1, 2008, to expand the research being performed under its current agreements with Alticor through 2008. The Company received $1,200,000 during 2008 under the research agreement, on a time and materials basis. Additionally, in 2009 and 2008 the Company recognized as revenue approximately $524,000 and $800,000, respectively of previously deferred revenue. In addition to the $800,000 of deferred revenue recognized under RA8, $168,254 of funds previously paid to the Company by Alticor under research agreement 3 (RA3) and research agreement 4 (RA4), for which no work has been performed, do not need to be repaid to Alticor. Accordingly, the Company has classified such funding as additional paid-in capital.

On January 31, 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to RA8. The amendment extended the term from a maximum of six months to eight months, terminating on September 30, 2009. The Company received an additional $200,316 on March 31, 2009 under the terms of the amendment to complete ongoing research, which was recognized as deferred revenue as of March 31, 2009. At March 31, 2010, all research agreements with Alticor were complete and the $200,316 has been recognized as revenue.

On October 20, 2009 the Company entered into a Merchant Network and Channel Partner Agreement with Amway Corp., d/b/a/ Amway Global (“Amway Global”) a subsidiary of Alticor Inc. Pursuant to the Agreement, Amway Global will sell the Company’s Inherent Health brand of genetic tests through its e-commerce website via a hyperlink to our e-commerce site. We paid Amway Global $90,000 in commissions for the three months ended March 31, 2010 representing a percentage of net sales received by us from Amway Global customers.

Note 6—Convertible Debt

On August 17, 2006, our existing credit facility with Pyxis was amended to provide the Company with access to approximately $14,300,000 of additional working capital borrowings at any time prior to August 17, 2008. Any amounts borrowed bear interest at prime, require quarterly interest payments and on demand a payment of all outstanding principal on August 16, 2011. The principal amount of any borrowing under this credit facility is convertible at Pyxis’ election into a maximum of 2,533,234 shares of common stock, reflecting a conversion price of $5.6783 per share.

Pursuant to the terms of the notes, Pyxis converted the indebtedness due on June 30, 2008, representing an aggregate principal amount of $595,336 and accrued interest of $7,450, into 943,032 shares of the Company’s common stock.

This credit facility has been extended several times. Most recently, on February 1, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment to extend the availability of the existing credit facility with Pyxis until June 30, 2011. As of March 31, 2010, there was $9,000,000 in principal outstanding under the credit facility which includes $2,000,000 the Company borrowed on February 1, 2010 leaving $5,316,255 of available credit.

Note 7—Commitments and Contingencies

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Legal Proceedings

On February 11, 2010, Genetic Technologies Limited, or GTL, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin. The complaint names the Company and eight other corporations as defendants in an alleged patent infringement lawsuit (Genetics Technologies Limited vs. Beckman Coulter, Inc., et. al., Civil Action No. 10-CV-00069, W.D. Wis., filed February 11, 2010). The Company was served with the complaint on March 24, 2010. The complaint alleges that the defendants make, use or sell products or services that infringe one or more claims of the patent owned by GTL, U.S. Patent No. 5,612,179, or the ’179 Patent, which expired on March 10, 2010. In the Company’s case, the complaint alleges that it offers and provides genetic risk assessment testing services that utilize methods set forth in one or more claims of the ‘179 Patent. The Company believes that it has substantial defenses to the claims asserted in the complaint. As of March 31, 2010, it is not possible to assess the risk of loss, if any, related to this matter.

Employment Agreements

On January 21, 2010, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Lewis H. Bender, its Chief Executive Officer. The agreement replaced and superseded the employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Bender that was to expire by its terms on January 22, 2010. The agreement has an initial term of one year and is automatically renewable for successive one year periods unless at least 90 days prior notice is given by either the Company or Mr. Bender. The agreement also provides that Mr. Bender will serve as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors for as long as he serves as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, subject to any required approval of the Company’s shareholders.

The agreement is terminable by the Company for cause or upon thirty days prior written notice without cause and by Mr. Bender upon thirty days prior written notice for “good reason” (as defined in the agreement) or upon ninety days prior written notice without good reason. If the Company terminates Mr. Bender without cause or Mr. Bender terminates his employment for good reason, then the Company will pay Mr. Bender, in addition to any accrued, but unpaid compensation prior to the termination, an amount equal to eighteen months of his base salary. If the Company terminates Mr. Bender without cause or Mr. Bender terminates his employment with good reason after a “change of control” (as defined in the agreement), then the Company will pay Mr. Bender, in addition to any accrued, but unpaid compensation prior to the termination, an amount equal to twenty-four months of his base salary, and all unvested stock options will automatically vest.

The agreement also includes non-compete and non-solicitation provisions for a period of twelve months following the termination of Mr. Bender’s employment with the Company.

Note 8—Capital Stock

Authorized Preferred and Common Stock

At March 31, 2010, the Company had authorized 6,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value Series A Preferred Stock, of which 5,000,000 were issued and outstanding. At March 31, 2010, the Company had authorized 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock of which 72,520,584 shares were outstanding or reserved for issuance. Of those, 36,494,890 shares were outstanding; 28,160,200 shares were reserved for the conversion of Series A Preferred to common stock; 1,584,981 shares were reserved for the conversion of the $9,000,000 of debt outstanding under the credit facility with Pyxis; 2,937,295 shares were reserved for the potential exercise of authorized and outstanding stock options; 400,000 shares were reserved for the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share which are exercisable currently until the expiration date of August 9, 2012; 1,750,000 shares were reserved for the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $1.30 per share which are exercisable currently until the expiration date of March 5, 2015; 256,977 shares were reserved for the potential exercise of rights held under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan; and 936,241 shares were reserved for the issuance upon the conversion of convertible notes that may be issued to Pyxis under the existing credit facility.

On March 5, 2010, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with certain institutional investors to sell $5.3 million of securities in a registered direct offering. The investors purchased an aggregate of 4,375,002 units for $1.20 per unit, with each unit consisting of a share of common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.40 of a share of common stock. The warrants are exercisable at $1.30 per share and expire in five years. Net proceeds to the Company after fees and expenses were approximately $4.9 million.

Series A Preferred Stock

On March 5, 2003, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Pyxis, pursuant to which Pyxis purchased from the Company 5,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for $7,000,000 in cash on that date, and an additional $2,000,000 in cash that was paid, as a result of the Company achieving a certain milestone, on March 11, 2004.

The Series A Preferred Stock accrues dividends at the rate of 8% of the original purchase price per year, payable only when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors and are non-cumulative. To date, no dividends have been declared on these shares. If the Company declares a distribution, with certain exceptions, payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights to purchase any such securities or evidences of indebtedness, then, in each such case the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which their respective shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution.

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the Company’s assets or surplus funds to the holders of its Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, the amount of two times the then-effective purchase price per share, as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares, plus all declared but unpaid dividends on such share for each share of Series A Preferred Stock then held by them. The liquidation preference at March 31, 2010 was $18,000,000. After receiving this amount, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to participate on an as-converted basis with the holders of Common Stock in any of the remaining assets.

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock determined by dividing the then-effective purchase price ($1.80, and subject to further adjustment) by the conversion price in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. As of March 31, 2010, the Series A Preferred Stock was convertible into 28,160,200 shares of Common Stock reflecting a current conversion price of $0.3196 per share.

Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to vote its shares of Series A Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis with the holders of Common Stock as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, except as otherwise required by applicable law. This means that each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which it is convertible on the applicable record date.

Note 9—Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements

Stock-based compensation arrangements consisted of the following as of March 31, 2010: three share-based compensation plans, restricted stock awards; an employee stock purchase plan; and employee compensation agreements. Total compensation cost that has been charged against income for stock-based compensation arrangements is as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2010		2009
Stock option grants beginning of period	$	1,331	$	38,984
Stock-based arrangements during the period:

Exercisable, end of period		897,167		$	2.07		1,470,667		$	2.85

The Company’s share-based payments that result in compensation expense consist of stock option grants and shares issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, the Company granted stock options under the 2000 Employee Stock Compensation Plan and the 2004 Employee, Director & Consultant Stock Plan. At March 31, 2010, the Company had an aggregate of 1,443,928 shares of Common Stock available for grant; including 272,482 shares under the 2000 Employee Stock Compensation Plan and 1,171,446 under the 2004 Employee, Director & Consultant Stock Plan. Each of these plans expires ten years from the date the plan was approved.

It is the Company’s policy to grant stock options with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date, and stock options to employees generally vest over five years based upon continuous service. Historically, the majority of the Company’s stock options have been granted in connection with the employee’s start date with the Company. In addition, the Company may grant stock options in recognition of promotion and/or performance.

For purposes of determining the stock-based compensation expense for stock option awards in 2010, the Black-Scholes option-pricing model was used with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate		2.3	%
Expected life	5.7		years
Expected volatility		126.4	%
Dividend Yield		0	%

Using these assumptions, the weighted average grant date fair value of options granted in 2010 was $0.80.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Purchases made under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan are deemed to be compensatory because employees may purchase stock at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on either the first day or the last day of a calendar quarter, whichever is lower. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, employees purchased 16,153 and 31,506 shares, respectively, of common stock at a weighted-average purchase price of $0.73 and $0.17, respectively, while the weighted-average fair value was $0.86 and $0.20 per share, respectively, resulting in compensation expense of $2,100 and $945, respectively.

Restricted Stock Awards

Holders of restricted stock awards participate fully in the rewards of stock ownership of the Company, including voting and dividend rights. Recipients of restricted stock awards are generally not required to pay any consideration to the Company for these restricted stock awards. The Company measures the fair value of the shares based on the last reported price at which the Company’s common stock traded on the date of the grant and compensation cost is recognized over the remaining service period. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 the Company granted restricted stock awards of 22,500 and 12,500 shares, respectively.

At March 31, 2010, there was approximately $318,000 of total unrecognized cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company’s stock plans.

Note 10—Industry Risk and Concentration

The Company develops genetic risk assessment tests under contract, performs research for its own benefit and, to a lesser extent, provides research services to a collaborative partner. As of March 31, 2010, the Company has introduced four genetic risk assessment tests commercially. Two of the tests are branded and sold through the Company’s strategic partner — Alticor. Commercial success of the Company’s genetic risk assessment tests will depend on their success as scientifically credible and cost-effective by consumers and the marketing success of the Company and its collaborative partner.

Research in the field of disease predisposing genes and genetic markers is intense and highly competitive. The Company has many competitors in the United States and abroad that have considerably greater financial, technical, marketing, and other resources available. If the Company does not discover disease predisposing genes or genetic markers and develop risk assessment tests and launch such services or products before its competitors, then the potential for significant revenues may be reduced or eliminated.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we had one significant customer, Alticor, our principal shareholder that accounted for approximately 96% of our revenues from continuing operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, approximately 51% of our revenue came from sales through our Merchant Network and Channel Partner Agreement with Amway Corp. d/b/a Amway Global (“Amway Global”), a subsidiary of Alticor. Pursuant to this Agreement, Amway Global sells our genetic tests through its e-commerce web site via a hyperlink to our e-commerce site.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this document.

General Overview and Trends

Interleukin Genetics, Inc. is a personalized health company that develops condition-focused, unique genetic tests. Our overall mission is to provide test products that can help individuals improve or maintain their health through preventive measures. Our vision is to use the science of applied genetics to empower individuals and physicians to better understand the set of actions and steps necessary to guide the best lifestyle and treatment options. We believe that the science of applied genetics can help companies provide improved services to their consumers, and assist in improving outcomes in drug development and use.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we continued to focus our resources on sales of our new Inherent Health™ brand of genetic tests and related programs, which began at the end of the second quarter of 2009, including the first-of-its-kind test for weight management that identifies an individual’s genetic tendencies for weight gain and metabolism. The brand launch offers customers a full suite of affordable, easy-to-use and meaningful genetic tests in heart health, bone health, nutritional needs, as well as PST®, the periodontal disease risk assessment test.

We experienced extensive scientific and media attention relating to our weight management genetic test. On March 3, 2010, we and researchers from Stanford University announced findings from a retrospective clinical study collaboration involving our Weight Management Genetic Test during a presentation at the American Heart Association’s annual epidemiology and prevention conference. According to Stanford University researchers, the differences in weight loss that were observed in individuals who followed a diet matched to their genotype versus one that was not matched to their genotype “is highly significant in numerous categories and represents an approach to weight loss that has not been previously reported in the literature.” This announcement follows our release of top line positive results from the study on September 29, 2009.

Sales of our genetic tests increased significantly in the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in the prior year driven primarily by subsequent media attention after the findings announced at the American Heart Association’s conference. The findings were reported in multiple national print publications as well as television. What we have experienced is a better understanding of the importance of our genetic test in the field of personalized health when public awareness is gained. We plan to explore further media opportunities in the future. We did not incur any significant expenses relating to this media.

Prior to the opening of business on July 1, 2009 we sold substantially all of the Alan James Group business and assets of our wholly-owned subsidiary AJG Brands, Inc. to Pep Products, Inc., a subsidiary of Nutraceutical Corporation. We continue to pay ongoing amounts owed on the accrued liabilities primarily related to inventory remaining at the retail level. During the quarter, we reached a final settlement with a retailer for approximately $0.3 million and we expect to continue to settle these accounts within the amounts accrued for at the date of the transaction. We are now focusing on genetic test development and commercialization which was formerly defined as our Personalized Health segment and is reflected as continuing operations.

Up to and including June 30, 2009, we had two primary business segments that included:

Personalized Health Segment – this segment conducts, researches, develops, markets and sells genetic tests panels primarily in inflammatory and metabolic areas to provide better insight into health, wellness and disease. Following the sale of substantially all of the Alan James Group business and assets prior to the opening of business on July 1, 2009, the Personalized Health segment became our only business segment.

Consumer Products Segment – this segment was comprised of the Alan James Group business assets, which we sold prior to the opening of business on July 1, 2009, and was focused on developing, selling and marketing nutritional supplements and products into retail consumer channels. Following the sale of substantially all of the Alan James Group business and assets, the Consumer Products segment ceased to exist.

We have traditionally spent approximately $3-4 million annually on research and development. We completed our research agreements with Alticor in 2009 and are now dedicating our resources to our own product development efforts. Our research & development expenses may decrease as we focus more on our own development and commercialization efforts. This is different than in prior years when our development focus was concentrated in research and development to bring new test configurations to market. As a result of the launch of our Inherent Health ® brand of genetic tests, we expect corporate selling, general, marketing and administrative expenses associated with our genetic test products to increase in 2010 and beyond.

In the genetic test business, competition is in flux and the markets and customer base are not well established. Adoption of new technologies by consumers requires substantial market development and customer education. Historically, we have focused on our relationship with our primary customer, Alticor, a significant direct marketing company, in order to assist us in developing the market for our products and educating our potential customers. Our challenge in 2010 and beyond will be to develop the market for our own personalized health products. We have begun to allocate considerable resources to our own brand of consumer products, including the June 2009 launch of our new Inherent Health ® brand of genetic tests and related programs. Due to the early stage of these initiatives, we cannot predict with certainty fluctuations we may experience in our test revenues or whether revenues derived from the Merchant Network and Channel Partner Agreement with Amway Global will ever be material or if material, will be sustained in future periods.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009

Continuing Operations

Total revenue from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $0.4 million, compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase of $0.1 million, or 6.1%, is primarily attributable to increases in genetic testing revenue offset by decreases in contract research and royalty revenue. Genetic testing revenue increased to $0.4 million, or 166.1%, in the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to sales of our Inherent Health™ Brand of genetic tests, which benefitted from media attention surrounding the March 2010 announcement of successful study results with Stanford University on our weight management genetic test. Genetic testing revenue is derived from tests sold and processed, which is driven by consumer demand. We had no contract research revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease of $0.2 million is primarily attributable to the completion in 2009 of our reimbursable research projects with Alticor.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we had one significant customer, Alticor, our principal shareholder, that accounted for approximately 96% of our revenues from continuing operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, approximately 51% of our revenue came from sales through our Merchant Network and Channel Partner Agreement with Amway Corp. d/b/a Amway Global, a subsidiary of Alticor. Pursuant to this agreement, Amway Global sells our genetic tests through its e-commerce web site via a hyperlink to our e-commerce site.

Cost of revenue from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $0.4 million or 112.1% of revenue, compared to $0.3 million, or 87.8% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The significant increase in the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue is primarily attributable to increased fixed costs associated with our genetic testing laboratory. Fixed costs were impacted during the three months ended March 31, 2010 by the operation of new high volume genetic testing equipment, which we expect to be absorbed by increases in volume of tests performed. Increased costs associated with this equipment are recognized in the first quarter of 2010, where no such costs were recognized in the first quarter of 2009. In addition, variable costs, such as laboratory supplies, increased due to the higher volume of genetic tests processed. The first quarter of 2010 is the first period where the volumes of tests performed was nearly sufficient to cover the full operational expense of the laboratory since we installed the new equipment in 2009, however, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to maintain or increase the volume of tests performed in subsequent periods.

Gross margin from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010, was a loss of $45,000, or 12.1%, compared to a profit of $42,000, or 12.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in gross margin is primarily attributable to increased fixed costs associated with our genetic testing laboratory and a decrease in contract research revenue.

Research and development expenses from continuing operations were $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease of $0.3 million, or 36.5% is primarily attributable to decreased clinical trial expenses related to our research agreements with Alticor and decreased compensation and consulting expenses as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Selling, general and administrative expenses from our continuing operations were $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease of $0.2 million, or 13.3% is primarily attributable to decreased expenses relating to administrative support consultants and lower compensation expenses offset by increased product development and advertising costs associated with our new Inherent Health™ Brand of genetic tests, sales commissions paid to Amway as part of our Merchant Channel and Partner Store Agreement and legal costs related to general corporate and compliance.

Interest expense from continuing operations was $67,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $32,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in interest expense of $35,000 is primarily attributable to increased borrowings on our credit facility with Pyxis.

Interest income from continuing operations was $300 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $8,200 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in interest income of $7,900 is primarily attributable to lower interest being earned on available cash balances. The current financial market conditions have significantly reduced the interest rate we are able to earn on our cash and cash equivalent balances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6.1 million and borrowings available under our credit facility of approximately $5.3 million, which permits borrowing at any time prior to June 30, 2011.

Cash used in continuing operations was $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Cash used in operations is primarily impacted by operating results and changes in working capital, particularly the timing of the collection of receivables, inventory levels and the timing of payments to suppliers. A significant use of cash in the three months ended March 31, 2010 were payments of $0.3 million, relating to the settlement of our obligations with former customers of the Alan James Group in connection with their rights of return of purchased product. A final settlement was reached with a major customer for inventory yet to be returned in accordance with the contractual terms of the retail relationship. The total settlement amounted to $0.3 million with $0.1 paid in March 2010 and the balance to be paid in the second quarter of 2010. The amounts paid were previously accrued in our financial statements. This use of cash was offset by a significant increase in genetic test sales resulting from the media surrounding the weight loss study results. Cash received from genetic test sales which is reflected in deferred revenue until the test report is issued increased by $0.2 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Prior to the sale of substantially all of the Alan James Group business and assets, we received positive operating cash flow from the retail sale of supplements. The combination of positive operating cash flow from the operations of The Alan James Group reduced our need for borrowings from our credit line with Pyxis. As we build our genetic test business the need for capital may increase due to the sale of the Alan James Group business.

Cash used in investing activities of our continuing operations was $40,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, capital additions primarily consisted of new commercial laboratory equipment that was purchased and installed which allows for high volume processing of genetic test samples. We believe that based on current and projected volumes, our laboratory equipment is sufficient to process genetic tests and no additional material capital purchases will be needed in the foreseeable future.

Cash provided by financing activities of our continuing operations was $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $40,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. On February 1, 2010 we received proceeds from the issuance of a note payable in the amount of $2.0 million under our existing credit facility with Pyxis. We have no financial covenants as part of our credit facility with Pyxis. As of March 31, 2010, we had $9.0 million outstanding under the credit facility, which is reflected as long term debt on our balance sheet and is convertible, at the option of Pyxis into shares of our common stock at a price of $5.6783 per share. On March 5, 2010, we entered into a definitive agreement with certain institutional investors to sell $5.3 million of securities in a registered direct offering. The investors purchased an aggregate of 4,375,002 units for $1.20 per unit, with each unit consisting of a share of common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.40 of a share of common stock. The warrants are exercisable at $1.30 per share and expire in five years. Net proceeds to us after fees and expenses were approximately $4.9 million. We received approximately $12,000 and $39,000, respectively from the exercise of stock options and stock purchases through the employee stock purchase plan for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

The amount of operating cash we generate is not currently sufficient to continue to fund and grow our operations. We believe our success depends on our ability to have sufficient capital and liquidity to achieve our objectives of closing negotiations with partners and creating additional distribution channels for our genetic testing products and technology. In addition to our current operating line of credit we may have to raise additional capital. Even though we are experiencing sales increases in our genetic testing business we must take additional steps to reduce our operating costs. In 2009, we reduced our headcount in non essential areas. We are currently attempting to sublease approximately one-third of our 19,000 square feet of office space. The space includes offices and a laboratory that is not being used. We have significantly reduced our research and development programs to only those that focus on technology related to deals with potential commercial partners. We have taken steps to reduce our corporate administrative expenses by working with or seeking new vendors who offer the same service for a lower cost. While we expect that our current and anticipated financial resources, including the amount available under our credit facility with Pyxis and the $4.9 million in net proceeds we received from our March 2010 registered direct offering, are adequate to maintain our current and planned operations for at least the next 18 months, we anticipate we will need substantial additional funds in the future, which we intend to obtain from operations, alliances or raising additional capital, but such funding may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

On December 23, 2009, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC for the issuance of common stock, preferred stock, various series of debt securities and/or warrants to purchase any of the securities, either individually or in units, with a total value of up to $75 million, from time to time at prices and on terms to be determined at the time of such offerings. This filing was declared effective on January 5, 2010. After taking into account the securities we issued in the March 2010 registered direct offering, we have approximately $67.5 million of securities available for sale under our effective shelf registration statement, although we may be limited by the rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE Amex in the amount of securities we may offer under this registration statement. Even if we are successful in raising additional capital, we may not be able to raise enough capital to cover our ongoing operating expenses and may be forced to seek other strategic alternatives.

On December 23, 2008, we were notified of our failure to comply with the NYSE Amex, hereinafter referred to as the Exchange, continued listing standards under section 1003 of the Exchange’s Company Guide. Specifically, the Exchange noted our failure to comply with section 1003(a) (iii) of the Company Guide because our stockholders’ equity was less than $6,000,000 and we had losses from continuing operations and net losses in our five most recent fiscal years. The notice was based on a review by the Exchange of publicly available information, including our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, our stockholders equity was $4.5 million, and as of December 31, 2009 we had a stockholders’ deficit of $5.8 million. On January 27, 2009, we submitted a plan to the Exchange to meet the continued listing requirements. The plan consists of several elements, but is primarily focused on increasing the sales of our products and services and raising additional equity capital. On March 27, 2009, we were notified that the Exchange found our plan to regain compliance with the continued listing standards to be unacceptable. We filed an appeal for an oral hearing and submitted a revised plan to the Exchange. On May 11, 2009, the Exchange notified us that the Exchange accepted our redrafted plan of compliance, without a hearing, and granted us an extension until December 31, 2009 to regain compliance with the continued listing standards. In December 2009, we provided more information to the Exchange and requested an extension. The Exchange continued to review our progress toward regaining compliance and on March 17, 2010 granted us an extension until June 23, 2010 to regain compliance. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards will likely result in delisting from the Exchange, which could significantly impact our ability to raise additional capital.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to (i) make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses; and (ii) disclose contingent assets and liabilities. A critical accounting estimate is an assumption that could have a material effect on our financial statements if another, also reasonable, amount were used or a change in the estimates is reasonably likely from period to period. We base our accounting estimates on historical experience and other factors that we consider reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future financial condition and results of operations will be affected. Our most critical accounting policies and estimates upon which our financial condition depends, and which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments are set forth in Note 4 to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. There have been no significant changes in our accounting policies nor changes from the methodology applied by management for critical accounting estimates previously disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Revenue Recognition:

Revenue from genetic testing services is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, service has been rendered, the sales price is determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Service is deemed to be rendered when the results have been reported to the individual who ordered the test. To the extent that tests have been prepaid but results have not yet been reported, recognition of all related revenue is deferred. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had deferred revenue of $347,000 and $108,000, respectively, for tests that have been prepaid but results have not yet been reported.

Revenue from contract research and development is recognized over the term of the contract as we perform our obligations under that contract (including revenue from Alticor, a related party).

Allowance for Sales Returns:

At March 31, 2010, we have reserved for estimated sales returns and discontinued items applicable to the non-acquired accounts resulting from our sale of substantially all of the assets of the Alan James Group business. The reserve of approximately $0.8 million is deemed to be adequate and no additional amounts were added at March 31, 2010. Payments of approximately $0.3 million were made that directly related to the product returns from non acquired accounts during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Trade Promotions:

Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement in connection with the sale of substantially all of the Alan James Group business and assets, we fully accrued for the approximately $150,000 of agreed upon trade promotions implemented prior to June 30, 2009. At March 31, 2010, the balance of trade promotions estimated to be due in the future was $41,000.

Accounts Receivable:

Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement in connection with our sale of substantially all of the Alan James Group business and assets, we retained non acquired accounts receivable in the amount of $180,605 which was fully reserved for as uncollectible at June 30, 2009. At March 31, 2010, the balance in such non acquired accounts approximated $107,000 which were deemed uncollectable and had been fully reserved for. Prior to the sale, trade accounts receivable were stated at their estimated net realizable value, which is generally the invoiced amount less any estimated discount related to payment terms.

Inventory:

We value our inventory at the lower of cost or market. We monitor our inventory and analyze it on a regular basis. Cycle counts are taken periodically to verify inventory levels. In addition, we analyze the movement of items within our inventory in an effort to determine the likelihood that inventory will be sold or used before expiration dates are reached. We provide an allowance against that portion of inventory that we believe is unlikely to be sold or used before expiration dates are reached. An adverse change in any of these factors may result in the need for additional inventory allowance.

Stock-Based Compensation:

We account for our stock-based compensation expense in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation . The standard addresses all forms of share-based payment (SBP) awards, including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. We expense SBP awards with compensation cost for SBP transactions measured at fair value. Compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the effective date shall be recognized as the requisite service is rendered on or after the effective date. The compensation cost for that portion of awards shall be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated from the pro forma disclosures. Common stock purchased pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan will be expensed based upon the fair market value in excess of purchase price.

Cash Equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds we have on deposit with our commercial bank. These funds are available on demand and are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

Fixed Assets:

Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset, or the remaining term of the lease, whichever is shorter.

Intangible Assets:

Purchase accounting requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to the fair market value of the assets purchased and liabilities assumed. We have accounted for our acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting. Values were assigned to intangible assets based on third-party independent valuations, as well as management’s forecasts and projections that include assumptions related to future revenue and cash flows generated from the acquired assets. We determined that due to the sale of substantially all of the Alan James Group business and assets prior to the opening of business on July 1, 2009, $3,251,838 of intangible assets became permanently impaired and were expensed.

During the annual fiscal year end close process and on an ongoing basis, we evaluate our intangible assets for impairment. We first must investigate if there was a triggering event that would cause us to evaluate the value of the intangible assets as outlined in the accounting standard for intangible assets. No impairment write-down was required in the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Income Taxes:

The preparation of our financial statements requires us to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate, including those outside the United States, which may be subject to certain risks that ordinarily would not be expected in the United States. We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes , which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of the enacted tax law; the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. We have recorded a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets of $27.0 million as of March 31, 2010, due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize these assets. The valuation allowance is based on management’s estimates of taxable income by jurisdiction in which we operate and the period over which the deferred tax assets will be recoverable. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates or management adjusts these estimates in future periods, we may need to adjust our valuation allowance, which could materially impact our financial position and results of operations.

Due to recent changes in the Massachusetts corporate income tax regulations, we will be filing on a combined basis with our other affiliated entities on a go-forward basis and as a result, net operating losses will be fully utilized at March 31, 2010. The combined filing will have no impact on our financial statements due to the full valuation allowance that offsets any deferred tax assets.

In addition, the standard prescribes how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that a company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. At March 31, 2010, we reviewed all material tax positions for all years open to statute and for all tax jurisdictions open to statute to determine whether it was more likely than not that the positions taken would be sustained based upon the technical merits of those positions. These provisions had no impact on our financial statements.

Contingencies:

Estimated losses from contingencies are accrued by management based upon the likelihood of a loss and the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. Estimating potential losses, or even a range of losses, is difficult and involves a great deal of judgment. Management relies primarily on assessments made by its external legal counsel to make our determination as to whether a loss contingency arising from litigation should be recorded or disclosed. Should the resolution of a contingency result in a loss that we did not accrue because management did not believe a loss was probable or capable of being reasonably estimated, then this loss would result in a charge to income in the period the contingency was resolved.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Please see the discussion of “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 4, Significant Accounting Policies contained in the Notes to Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As of March 31, 2010, the only financial instruments we carried were cash and cash equivalents denominated in U.S. dollars. We believe the market risk arising from holding these financial instruments is not material. While we recognize that the interest rates these instruments bear are currently at historically low levels, we believe it is most prudent to maintain these relatively low risk positions during this time of unprecedented volatility and uncertainty across the global financial markets .

Some of our sales and some of our costs occur outside the United States and are transacted in foreign currencies. Accordingly, we are subject to exposure from adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. At this time we do not believe this risk is material and we do not currently use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency fluctuation risk. However, if foreign sales increase and the risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation increases, we may in the future consider utilizing derivative instruments to mitigate these risks.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f)) occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

On February 11, 2010, Genetic Technologies Limited, or GTL, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin. The complaint names Interleukin and eight other corporations as defendants in an alleged patent infringement lawsuit (Genetics Technologies Limited vs. Beckman Coulter, Inc., et. al., Civil Action No. 10-CV-00069, W.D. Wis., filed February 11, 2010). We were served with the complaint on March 24, 2010. The complaint alleges that the defendants make, use or sell products or services that infringe one or more claims of the patent owned by GTL, U.S. Patent No. 5,612,179, or the ’179 Patent, which expired on March 10, 2010. In our case, the complaint alleges that it offers and provides genetic risk assessment testing services that utilize methods set forth in one or more claims of the ‘179 Patent. We believe that we have substantial defenses to the claims asserted in the complaint.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face. In addition, risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes in or additions to the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
