Schedule of Business Acquisitions, by Acquisition [Table Text Block]

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $2,873,035 as of January 29, 2015 and consisted of the following items:

Fair value of 4,608,020 of common stock issued at a price per share of $0.46 as of January 29, 2015 the closing date of the merger.	$	2,119,689

Fair value of potential Matinas common stock as contingent consideration that will be issued upon achieving certain future clinical milestone-(a)		422,609

Fair value of potential Matinas common stock as contingent consideration that will be issued upon achieving certain future regulatory milestone-(a)		330,737

Total consideration	$	2,873,035

(a)-Reflects recognition of the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration payable with issuance of Matinas common stock upon achievement of certain future clinical and regulatory milestones, the achievement of which is uncertain. The fair value of the additional shares were established by assigning probabilities and projected dates of positive outcome for the milestones and valuing the future issuance of the shares by using the Black-Scholes options pricing model to account for the uncertainty in the future value of the shares. The value of the shares as derived using the options pricing model were then weighted based on the probability of achieving the milestones to determine the fair market value of the additional shares.

(b)-The fair value of the in-process research and development asset was estimated on the basis of its replacement cost as determined by a buildup of the costs incurred to develop the technology as it existed as of the acquisition date resulting in a fair value of $3,017,377. The fair value of other assets and liabilities approximate their book value.

(c)-The Company allocated the purchase price to the net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair values at the Merger date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill including deferred tax liabilities resulting from the tax attributes of the in-process research and development (see Note C [14]).

(d)- Aquarius issued a note for a loan that was made to a related party. Interest on note is calculated using the applicable federal rate for midterm loans. Since the note has no specified repayment terms, it is considered a current liability.
