NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

ProtoKinetix, Inc. (the "Company"), a development stage company, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 23, 1999. The Company is a medical research company whose mission is the advancement of human health care.

In 2003, the Company entered into an assignment of license agreement (the "Agreement") with BioKinetix, Inc., an Alberta, Canada, corporation. The Agreement provided the Company with an exclusive assignment of all of the rights (the "Rights") that BioKinetix possessed relating to two proprietary technologies that are being developed for the creation and commercialization of "superantibodies," an enhancement of antibody technology that makes ordinary antibodies much more lethal. In consideration, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to issue 16,000,000 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of BioKinetix.

The Company is also currently researching the benefits and feasibility of proprietary synthesized Antifreeze Glycoproteins ("AFGP"). In preliminary studies, AFGP has demonstrated an ability to protect and preserve human cells at temperatures below freezing.

Interim Period Financial Statements

The interim period financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. The interim period financial statements should be read together with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited financial statements contained herein contain all adjustments (consisting of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented.

Going Concern
 
As shown in the financial statements, the Company has not developed a commercially viable product, has not generated any revenues to date and has incurred losses since inception, resulting in a net accumulated deficit at March 31, 2005. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company needs additional working capital to continue its medical research or to be successful in any future business activities and continue to pay its liabilities. Therefore, continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the additional working capital necessary to accomplish its objective. Management is presently engaged in seeking additional working capital.


The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company fail in any of the above objectives and is unable to operate for the coming year.

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. The Company's stock split 1:75 on August 24, 2001. In April 2002, the Board of Directors approved a 2.5 for 1 split of the Company's stock. The accompanying financial statements are presented on a post-split basis. The loss per share for the periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, have been adjusted accordingly. Diluted earnings per share takes into consideration common shares of outstanding (computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive securities. The effect of debt convertible into common shares was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for all periods presented because it was anti-dilutive due to the Company's losses. Common stock issuable is considered outstanding as of the original approval date for purposes of earnings per share computations.
 
Note 2. Restatement

During 2003 and 2004, the Company acquired license rights to proprietary medical research technologies, which were capitalized at the time of acquisition as intangible assets having indefinite lives. While the Company's management continues to believe the license rights are of probable future benefit to the Company in its continuing efforts to pursue the development of commercially viable products, it was appropriate for accounting purposes to expense the cost of the acquisition of the license rights. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been restated to correct the error and recognize as expense the cost of those acquired license rights at the time of their acquisition.
 
The effects of the restatement on the March 31, 2005 financial statements are as follows:

Intangible assets decreased by $3,379,756 and the Accumulated Deficit increased by $3,379,756.

The effects of the restatement on the March 31, 2004 financial statements are as follows:

Intangible assets decreased by $2,445,756 and the Accumulated Deficit increased by $2,445,756.
 
Expenses, specifically Licenses, increased by $45,756 to $45,756, increasing the Loss from Continuing Operations and the Net Loss by the same amount to ($1,104,852) each.  The loss per share of  $(0.04) did not change

For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Net Loss for the Period increased to ($1,104,852) and the Acquisition of Intangible Assets for $45,756 was eliminated.

The effect of the restatement on the amounts in the Cumulative During the Development Stage period are as follows:

Expenses, specifically Licenses, increased by $3,379,756 to $3,379,756, increasing total expenses to $10,307,231. The Loss from Continuing Operations increased by $3,379,756 to ($10,307,231) and the Net Loss increased by $3,379,756 to ($10,350,697).

For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Net Loss for the Period increased to ($10,350,697) and the Issuance of Common Stock for Services and Expenses increased by $3,334,000 to $7,240,501, and the Acquisition of Intangible Assets for $45,756 was eliminated.

Note 3. Convertible Note Payable

On February 1, 2004, the Company executed a subscription agreement under which the Company issued to a corporation an 8% secured convertible note in exchange for $315,000. The note is due February 1, 2006, and is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at the lower of $0.30 per share or 70% of the average of the three lowest trading prices for the 30 days prior to the conversion date. No beneficial conversion feature was applicable to this convertible note.

In March 2005, 285,832 common shares were issued in lieu of payment on this note.
 
Note 4. Discontinued Operations

In 2003, the Company signed the licensing agreement described in Note 1. This agreement changed the Company's business plan to that of a medical research company. Accordingly, the operating results related to the Company's research prior to the licensing agreement have been presented as discontinued operations in these financial statements for all periods presented.
 
Note 5. Subsequent Event

In April 2005, the Company issued 1,180,000 shares of its common stock for consulting services.



 
 

 


 

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATION

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes. Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis we review our estimates and assumptions. Our estimates were based on our historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Our critical accounting policies, the policies we believe are most important to the presentation of our financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in "Critical Accounting Policies," and have not changed significantly.

In addition, certain statements made in this report may constitute “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements involve known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Specifically, 1) our ability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals for our products; and 2) our ability to create revenues and operating income, is dependent upon our ability to develop and sell our products, general economic conditions, and other factors. You can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continues" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected-in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

The Company has not had revenues from operations in each of the last two fiscal years. Therefore, the Company is required to report under Regulation SB, Section 228.303(a) and (c) in this Form 10-QSB.

Plan of Operation

Our current operations are centered around the Company's relationships with various research and development consultants who are conducting research on behalf of the company at discrete and established laboratories in various parts of the world. The Company intends to continue these efforts throughout 2005.

The Company currently has no full time employees. The Company operates with a skeletal management team headed by John Todd, M.D. In addition to Dr. Todd, the Company receives advice and counsel from its Scientific Advisory Board. A short biography of Dr. Todd may be found within the document, and the biographies of other members of the ProtoKinetix Scientific Advisory Board may be found within the "Mgmt & Bios" section of the Company's website located at www.protokinetix.com. The Company does not expect to add more than 1 to 2 full time employees during the balance of the calendar 2005 year.
 
There are two areas of research the Company is currently focused on. Below is a brief discussion of these efforts. Additionally, in order to assist you in better understanding the concepts of the Company's research, here are three definitions of some of the terms used below:

 
       Super-Antibody
This is an industry-adopted term used to describe genetically-engineered antibodies, isolated from a single blood cell, which have been expanded in the laboratory to attack or have a desired effect on certain targeted antigens, such as cancer cells.
  "RECAF" or Receptor Alpha Fetaprotein
This is a carbohydrate molecule that is located on the surface of cancer cells.
A structure exposed on the cell surface used for signaling or transport of molecules into the cell.
 
RECAF Antibody Project

The Company's first project, the development of a cancer chemotherapeutic agent based upon RECAF, a receptor for Alphafeta protein which is found on the cell surface of many types of malignant cells. The Company has a license from Biocurex, Inc. to develop superantibody therapies for the RECAF receptor site. As of the date of this report, the Company is engaged in efforts to validate the existence of the RECAF receptor site.

The Company has an agreement with BioCurex which provides us the exclusive rights to develop biologic therapies against cancer cells using: (i) the patented platform developed by InNexus; and (ii) the "conjugate approach" from Perigene.

During this past year ProtoKinetix Inc. has contracted with Dr. Dianne Damotte to conduct tests on the RECAF antibody at the George Pompidou Hospital in Paris France. The RECAF antibody was used to determine its efficacy in tagging onto cancer cells and not on to normal healthy cells. This was done to have a third party validate the claims of BioCurex and to determine the suitability of RECAF for the development of a therapeutic antibody against a variety of malignancies.

The testing by Dr. Diane Damotte demonstrated some interesting results that are still being assessed. At this time, the Company has not yet made a decision to proceed with the development of a catalytic antibody. Further, if the Company does proceed to develop a catalytic antibody, we have not yet decided which platform to use.
 
The following is further discussion of the Company's RECAF R&D project :

The RECAF is a site which the Company believes exists on many cancer cells. Think of the RECAF site as a "lock on a door". Cancer cells by their very nature are antigens or foreign invaders to the way the body functions normally. The body has cells which create what are called antibodies. Antibodies are the way in which the human body attacks antigens and to cause them to die. The problem with cancer cells is that in an effort to destroy the cancer cell, it is difficult for an antibody to gain access to and bind to a cancer cell. The Company believes that should the RECAF receptor site exist, it will be able to design a superantibody (or enhanced daisy chain antibody) which will bind to the RECAF receptor site (like a key going into the lock of the door) and destroy the cancer cell.

With respect to the RECAF receptor site, on November 22, 2002, BioKinetix, Inc. entered into an agreement with BioCurex, Inc. which provided BioKinetix with exclusive world wide certain intellectual property rights to produce a therapy using superantibodies for the RECAF receptor site. On July 2, 2003, BioCurex assented to the assignment of all of BioKinetix's rights to the Company. On March 18, 2004, in consideration of the Company's commitment to issue 400,000 common shares, BioCurex executed a letter agreement ("BioCurex Letter Agreement") with the Company which made the "effective date" of the November 22, 2002, agreement - March 14, 2004. Additionally, the BioCurex Letter Agreement provided the Company with additional intellectual property rights with respect to the RECAF receptor site.

In terms of creating an antibody, the Company's efforts are being led by Professor Max Arella (please see the Company's press release dated September 4, 2003). Once an antibody is created, it must be enhanced or converted into a superantibody. In order to create a superantibody, the Company has acquired access to various technologies from (a) Innexus Corporation; and (b) Perigene Corporation.

On November 22, 2002, a BioKinetix, Inc., a research and development subsidiary of Begland Corporation, entered into an agreement with Innexus Corporation which provided BioKinetix with certain intellectual property rights to develop up to four (4) antibodies into superantibodies using the related Innexus Corporation technology. On July 3, 2003, Innexus Corporation assented to an assignment of all of BioKinetix's rights under the November 22, 2002 agreement to the Company.

On December 3, 2003, Perigene Corporation entered into an agreement with the Company whereby the Company had the right to access various Perigene intellectual property resources in order to create superantibodies.

As is discussed above, the very existence of the RECAF has yet to be determined. Both BioCurex and the Company have entered into agreement with research institutions in order to prove that a RECAF does in fact exist on some, if not many malignant cancer cells. Of course, should the RECAF not exist, the consequences to the Company and its current research efforts could be catastrophic.
 
AFGP Project (the "AFGP Project")

The second project that the Company has undertaken is to develop and test synthetic antifreeze proteins (AFP) and antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGP).

The AFGP Project is where the Company believes it will focus its research efforts and resources over the next 6 to 12 months.

ProtoKinetix has entered into agreements to acquire the exclusive right to develop products derived from patent pending technologies related to synthetic AFGPs. The ProtoKinetix intellectual property rights were developed by Dr. Jean-Charles Quirion.

As of the date of this report, although the Company's development agents, including the parties the Company has licensed AFGP technologies from, have applied to receive patents for technologies ProtoKinetix has licensed and continues to primarily base it's research efforts on, no patents have been issued by a governmental, quasi-governmental or recognized regulatory agency.

Below is a further discussion of the Company's AFGP Project :

One of many accomplishments from pioneering research of the U.S. Antarctic Program was the discovery, in the early sixties, that fish living year-long in subzero temperature are extremely resistant to freezing. The substances that prevent these fish from freezing were isolated, characterized and designated as antifreeze glycoproteins or AFGP. Over the years, various kinds of AFGP were isolated from many species of fishes, and in some amphibians, plants and insects. All of the AFGPs share a common characteristic that prevents ice crystals from growing and connecting to each other.

A review of the scientific literature will confirm that there has been a great deal of interest around the world in these natural antifreeze glycoproteins which are able to protect a great many creatures which are subjected to freezing temperatures. A further review will also confirm that the natural antifreeze is able to preserve mammalian cells tissue and organs. The metabolic rate in living cells is reduced as the temperature is lowered. Keeping cells and tissue at a low temperature enables their preservation for a longer time than cells can be preserved for at a higher temperature. Yet, when cells are exposed to sub zero temperatures, they are destroyed by the formation of ice crystals which disrupts the cell membrane.

Scientists have conducted many experiments in which they extracted naturally occurring AFGP from a variety of fish and then used these naturally occurring antifreeze glycoproteins to reduce the temperature at which ice crystals are formed. It has been determined in experiments by many scientists that mammalian cells in a solution containing natural AFGP could be successfully preserved at temperatures several degrees below zero C (see attached). At this temperature the metabolic rate of the cells is very low, and these cells can be preserved for a longer period of time at sub zero temperatures as long as the cells are not destroyed by the formation of ice crystals. However, until today, applications of AFGP were limited since researchers were unable to produce sufficient quantities or stable enough copies of these antifreeze glycoproteins for commercial applications, and the use of naturally occurring compounds extracted from fish is too labor and cost-intensive to be practical.
 
Researchers, headed by Dr. Jean Charles Quirion in Rouen, France, have developed an innovative and patented chemical synthesis protocol for manufacturing and stabilizing AFGP molecules using a chemical bond that protects these compounds from degradation by naturally occurring enzymes. Dr. Quirion and his team have produced several synthetic antifreeze glycoproteins and have the ability to produce many more different types of these molecules. The synthetic AFGP which has been made have been tested and we were able to show:

 
·
The molecules are stable down to a pH of 1.8
 
·
There is no toxicity demonstrated in 2 separate trials
 
·
The molecules tested have shown that they reduce the freezing point to minus 18 degrees celcius
 
·
We have been able to preserve red cells at temperatures below zero Celcius using 1 mg per ml of the synthetic antifreeze

Current research is being conducted to confirm the efficacy of these chemically synthesized new molecules and applications are being sought for the use of the synthetic AFGP to prolong the shelf-life of human blood and blood products as well as for other cell types, live vaccines, tissue and organs. The market for the preservation of blood and blood products is very large, as is the market for the preservation of human and animal cells for research purposes. The subzero cryopreservation of organs using our synthetic AFGP will be a major milestone in transplantation medicine

ProtoKinetix will continue to conduct research on the synthetic AFGP which are being manufactured. This work will be conducted by government agencies as well as by contract with private laboratory facilities.

The Company believes that should the AFGP research continue to produce successful results, there are many viable commercial applications for its AFGP technology, ranging from medical applications in terms of cell and organ preservation, to consumer cosmetic applications in terms of producing AFGP-based creams, lotions and other cosmetics.

Expenses and Cash Requirements

As of March 31, 2005, the Company had US $340,029.00 in available cash.

Expenses for the quarter ending March 31, 2005, arose primarily from professional and consulting fees. We incurred professional fees relating to costs associated with our being a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We also incurred consulting fees related to the AFGP research that is being conducted on an ongoing basis. All-in-all, we experienced a net loss of $288,107 during the quarterly period ending March 31, 2005 (or approximately $.01 per share).

Many of the persons and companies that perform services for the Company are paid in Company common shares or warrants to acquire Company common shares. This method of payment, although it causes dilution to the Company common stock shareholders, allows us to conduct the Company's business with very little cash outflow. There is no guarantee however, that our consultants will continue to accept common stock as payment for services rendered. If there is a change in the Company's need for cash, we may be forced to access some form of debt or equity-based financing in order to continue operations. Obviously, there is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in accessing the cash it requires to operate, should the need arise. And should we be successful in selling some of the Company's equity or debt in a financing, there is no guarantee that such a financing would not be more dilutive to the Company common stock shareholders than our current method of paying consultants with common stock and warrants to acquire or common stock.
 
Sales and Marketing

The Company is currently not selling or marketing any products.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The history of losses and the inability for the Company to make a profit from selling a good or service has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None

ITEM 3.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company, led by Chief Executive Officer Dr. John Todd, conducted an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

There was no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Presently, the Company does not have an audit committee and no member of the Board of Directors has been designated or qualifies as a financial expert.

ITEM 2.   UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF     PROCEEDS

During the quarter ending March 31, 2005, the Company made the following common share issuances:

On March 8, 2005, the Company issued the balance of the 2,000,000 common shares dues and payable pursuant to the July 2003 licensing agreement with BioKinetix Research. These shares were issued pursuant to Section (4)2 of the Securities Act of 1933.

Pursuant to Item 3.02 of Form 8-K, because the Company is a small business issuer and these issuances, in the aggregate, equal less than 5% of the number of common shares issued and outstanding (based on the number of issued and outstanding shares identified in the Company's last periodic report), these sales were not reported in a Form 8-K.

Disclosure Related to Form S-8 Issuances

Prior to issuing any common shares under Form S-8, the Company requests and receives an executed verification from all issuees stating that the issuee is a natural person and that: (a) the shares being issued are not being provided to create or sustain a market for the Company's securities, and (b) that the shares are not being issued as a part of a capital raising transaction. All consultants to the Company are required to provide work product as a part of and condition to their relationship with the Company. Consultant work product is delivered in accordance with the terms and conditions of each respective Consultants' agreement.
