PART I

ITEM 1.     Description Of Business

Company Overview

GeneMax Corp. is a biotechnology company whose strategic vision is to develop and market products specializing in the application of the latest discoveries in cellular and molecular immunology and cancer biology to the development of proprietary therapeutics aimed at the treatment and eradication of cancer and prevention of infectious diseases. Our technologies are based on an understanding of the function of a protein "pump," known as "TAP", which is located within cells and which is essential to the processing of foreign (microbial) or autologous antigens, and subsequent presentation to the immune system for eradication of the cancer or infected cell. The company currently has none of its product candidates on the market and is focusing on the development and testing of its product candidates.

The current standard therapies for cancer treatment include surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. However, we believe that these treatments are not precise in targeting only cancerous cells and often fail to remove or destroy all of the cancer. The remaining cancer cells may then grow into new tumors, which can be resistant to further chemotherapy or radiation, which may result in death. In the United States the American Cancer Society estimates that in 2007 cancer will be the second leading cause of death with an estimated 600,000 deaths from cancer annually.

Company History

GeneMax currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "GMXX" and the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges under the symbol "GX1."

GeneMax was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in 1991 under the name "Ward's Futura Automotive Ltd". The company changed its name a number of times since 1991 and, in July 2002, the company completed the acquisition of GeneMax Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("GeneMax Pharmaceuticals"), a Delaware corporation, in a reverse merger and changed its name to "GeneMax Corp". As a result of this transaction the former stockholders of GeneMax Pharmaceuticals then owned 75% of the total issued and outstanding shares of GeneMax. GeneMax Pharmaceuticals is now a wholly owned subsidiary of GeneMax, and GeneMax Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc. ("GPCanada"), a British Columbia corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary of GeneMax Pharmaceuticals.

The Immunotherapy Industry for Cancer

Management believes that there is a critical need for more effective cancer therapies. Management further believes that the global market for effective cancer treatments is large, and that immunotherapies representing potential treatments for metastatic cancer are an unmet need in the area of oncology.

The human immune system appears to have the potential to clear cancers from the body, based on clinical observations that some tumors spontaneously regress when the immune system is activated. Most cancers are not very "immunogenic", however, meaning that the cancers are not able to induce an immune response because they no longer express sufficient levels of key proteins on their cell surface, known as Major Histocompatability Class I or MHC Class I proteins. In healthy cells, these proteins provide the information to the immune system that defines whether the cell is healthy or, in the case of cancer or viral infection, abnormal. If the MHC Class I proteins signal that the cells are abnormal, then the immune system's T-cells are activated to attack and kill the infected or malignant cell.

1


 

In many solid cancer tumors the TAP protein system does not function and, therefore, the immune system is not stimulated to attack the cancer. Management believes that although a number of cancer therapies have been developed that stimulate the immune system, these approaches have often proven ineffective because the cancers remain invisible to the immune system due to this apparent lack of or low expression of the TAP protein.

By restoring TAP expression to TAP-deficient cells, the MHC Class I protein peptide complexes could signal the immune system to attack the cancer. The strategic vision of GeneMax is to be a product-driven biotechnology company, focusing primarily on use of its patented TAP technology to restore the TAP function within cancerous cells, thus making them immunogenic, or more "visible" to cancer fighting immune cells. As part of its overall strategy, and with additional funding, the company also intends to pursue the development of prophylactic vaccines against infectious microbes. The company intends to develop the TAP technology for use as a therapeutic cancer vaccine that management believes will restore the normal immune recognition. Management further believes that this cancer vaccine strategy is the only therapeutic approach that addresses this problem of "non-immunogenicity" of cancer. Management believes that this therapy may have a strong competitive advantage over other cancer t herapies, since restoring the TAP protein will direct the immune system to specifically target the cancerous cells without damaging healthy tissue.

GeneMax's Target Market and Strategy

GeneMax is currently pursuing product development in oncology. With additional funding, the company will also pursue product development in prophylactic vaccines. Cancer encompasses a large number of diseases that affect many different parts of the human body. The diversity of cancer types and their overall prevalence create a large need for new and improved treatments. Management believes that there is a significant market opportunity for a cancer treatment that utilizes the highly specific defense mechanisms of the immune system to attack cancers. Based upon recent market reports, management believes that the market for cancer vaccines could be approximately $2 billion by 2007, with a compounded annual growth rate of 104%. Our goal is to have the FDA approve our cancer vaccine within the next few years so that we can secure a portion of this market.

Management also believes that our peptide transfer assay, which is a cell-based assay designed to evaluate compounds and drugs for their ability to stimulate or suppress the immune response, will also be of significant interest to pharmaceutical companies, companies with natural product libraries, anti-sense or gene libraries or proprietary rights to chemical compounds (e.g. combinatorial chemistry companies). Additional funding will be required to exploit this opportunity, and the company is not currently supporting its development. However, the company recognizes that the technology may be strategic to future developments and, accordingly, the technology has been licensed and will continue to be protected by the company.

Research and Development Efforts

We direct our research and development efforts towards the development of immunotherapeutic and prophylactic vaccine products for the treatment of cancer and protection against pathogenic microbes respectively, using our proprietary TAP technology. We have focused our efforts initially on the development of a therapeutic vaccine for applications in cancer treatment while demonstrating the breadth of the TAP technology for the development of prophylactic vaccines and its ability to complement currently approved and emerging products in both cancer therapeutics and prophylactic vaccines against microbes. This approach allows the company to pursue its own internal product development while positioning the company to enter into multiple partnerships and licensing agreements. The company previously produced, and still plans to produce in the future, its TAP vaccines by inserting the TAP gene material into a proprietary, modified adeno virus licensed from Crucell Holland B.V. ("Crucell"), and it is used as the prototype vaccine product for performing in-vitro immunological and animal preclinical studies. We have organized our research and development efforts to take advantage of our partners' capabilities while reducing our overhead costs. Our relationship with the University of British Columbia ("UBC") has allowed the company to conduct contract research and development by employing highly skilled scientists at UBC. The research and development team performs the basic research on the biological function of TAP and related licensed technology as well as preclinical animal studies in cancer and infectious diseases. We also receive a substantive amount of technical support from our proposed licensing partner, Crucell, in the development of our TAP adeno virus based vaccine product. Further, the company contracts out through Molecular Medicine BioServices, Inc. "(Molecular Medicine") the production of clinical grade vaccine product to be used in preclinical and clinical studies that requir e production facilities with Good Manufacturing Practices ("GMP") and Good Laboratory Practices ("GLP") certification.

Products and Technology in Development

TAP Cancer Vaccine

GeneMax previously developed its TAP Cancer Vaccine at the UBC Biomedical Research Centre under an agreement we refer to in this Annual Report as our "Collaborative Research Agreement". This therapeutic cancer vaccine candidate, to be tested in preclinical toxicology studies, will, if successfully developed, include the patented use of the TAP-1 gene to restore the TAP protein, with the objective being to develop the TAP technology as a therapeutic cancer vaccine that will restore the normal immune recognition of cancer cells. The TAP Cancer Vaccine will be targeted at those cancers that are deficient in the TAP protein, which include breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, melanoma, renal cancer and colorectal cancer.

Management believes that the TAP Cancer Vaccine will deliver the genetic information required for the production of the TAP protein in the target cancer cell. This will trigger the cancer cell's ability to effectively identify itself to the body's immune system by transporting the cancer antigen peptides to the cell surface using the individual's specific MHC Class I proteins. As a result, we believe that the immune response could be targeted to the entire repertoire of cancer antigen peptides produced by the cancer cell, rather than just to a single cancer antigen, as delivered by current cancer vaccines. The TAP Cancer Vaccine could allow the immune response to respond to the cancer even if the TAP protein and genetic information were only delivered to a small portion of the cancer cells. In addition, the TAP Cancer Vaccine would generate an immune response to any TAP-deficient cancer, regardless of the patient's individual genetic variability either in the MHC Class I proteins or in the cancer-specific proteins and resultant peptides.

In general, a "cancer vaccine" is a therapy whose goal is to stimulate the immune system to attack tumors. Management believes that most current cancer vaccines contain either cancer-specific proteins that directly activate the immune system or contain genetic information, such as DNA, that encodes these cancer-specific proteins. Management believes that there are a number of key conditions that must be met before a cancer vaccine can be effective in generating a therapeutic immune response: (i) the cancer antigen peptide delivered by the vaccine has to be recognized by the immune system as "abnormal" or "foreign" in order to generate a strong and specific T-cell response; (ii) the same cancer antigen peptide has to be displayed on the surface of the cancer cells in association with the MHC Class I proteins; and (iii) these cancer antigen peptides then have to be sufficiently different from normal proteins in order to generate a strong anti-tumor response.

If these conditions are all met, then management believes that such cancer vaccines should generate a sufficiently strong immune response to kill the cancer cells. However, the identification of suitable cancer-specific antigen proteins to use in these therapeutic vaccines has proven extremely complex. In addition, the MHC Class I proteins are highly variable, with over 100 different types in humans and, as a result, any one-cancer antigen peptide will not produce an immune response for all individuals. Cancers are "genetically unstable" and their proteins are highly variable, so that the selected cancer antigen protein may result in the immune system only attacking a small subset of the cancerous cells.

Laboratory Testing of the TAP Cancer Vaccine

Management believes that the key milestone of efficacy in animal models of cancer has been attained and that other scientific research teams have validated the experimental data from these animal studies. The proof of principle for the TAP technology as a cancer vaccine was established in research conducted during the last ten years at UBC. The initial studies were conducted using a small-cell lung cancer cell line that was derived from an aggressive, metastatic cancer. These cells have multiple defects in the "antigen presentation pathway" in that they are not detected by the immune system. When the TAP protein was introduced into these cells, antigen presentation was restored. In addition, a series of animal studies have demonstrated the ability of TAP to restore an immune response. This study was published in Nature Biotechnology (Vol. 18, pp. 515-520, May 2000). Management believes that the TAP technology has been further validated in melanoma, where animal studies simi lar to the small-cell lung cancer studies described above were performed and similar results were achieved.

Pre-Clinical Testing

GeneMax has completed pre-clinical animal testing of its TAP Cancer Vaccine to the extent that is required as a prerequisite for further preclinical toxicology analysis and Investigational New Drug (or "IND") application to the FDA. The pre-clinical testing of the TAP Cancer Vaccine to date included the evaluation of several strains of vaccinia and adenovirus vectors to assess their respective ability to deliver the correct genetic information allowing expression of the TAP protein in tumors, the selection and licensing of the vector from Crucell and the identification and entering into an agreement, that we refer to in this Annual Report as our "Production Services Agreement", with Molecular Medicine, a GMP manufacturer, for subsequent production of the TAP Cancer Vaccine. The company has to complete the performance of toxicology studies using the TAP Cancer Vaccine on at least two animal species to confirm its non-toxicity. In addition, we must complete initial vaccine production, and develop internal and external clinical trials, support personnel and infrastructure before commencing clinical trials.

Once the formal pre-clinical testing is completed, we intend to compile and summarize the data and submit it to the United States Federal Drug Administration (or "FDA") and/or the Canadian Health Canada (or "HC"), and/or other national regulatory agencies, in the form of an investigational new drug application. We anticipate that these applications would include data on vaccine production, animal studies and toxicology studies, as well as proposed protocols for the Phase I human clinical trials, described below.

Canine Trials

Management believes that there is also a significant market in canine treatments using the same TAP technologies. The scientific team are currently engaged in pre-trial due diligence for running various pre-clinical and clinical canine trials. Not only will the canine treatments provide a significant commercial opportunity with a shorter 'to-market' timeframe, but they will also provide additional data and support for the ongoing human trial programs.

4


 

Phase I Human Clinical Trials

Management believes that, subject to the completion of remaining pre-clinical work and financing, estimated at approximately $5,000,000, the Phase I human clinical trials could commence in the last half of 2007. The Phase I human clinical trials will be designed to provide data on the safety of the TAP Cancer Vaccine when used in humans. The company intends to conduct the Phase I human clinical trials at the British Columbia Cancer Agency in Vancouver, British Columbia, or other locations under evaluation. These trials will be conducted in respect of certain carcinomas. The company has presented information on the TAP Cancer Vaccine to members of the Department of Advanced Therapeutics of the British Columbia Cancer Agency, with the intent of obtaining their assistance in the design and execution of the clinical study.

Clinical trials to support new drug applications are typically conducted in three sequential phases, although the phases may overlap. During Phase I there is an initial introduction of the therapeutic candidate into healthy human subjects or patients. The drug is tested to assess metabolism, pharmacokinetics and pharmacological actions and safety, including side effects associated with increasing doses. Phase II usually involves studies in a limited patient population to assess the clinical activity of the drug in specific targeted indications, assess dosage tolerance and optimal dosage and continue to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks. If the therapeutic candidate is found to be potentially effective and to have an acceptable safety profile in Phase II evaluations, Phase III trials are undertaken to further demonstrate clinical efficacy and to further test for safety within an expanded patient population at geographically dispersed clinical trial sites.

Future Products and Technology

Peptide Transfer Assay

We are attempting to develop potential products that may stimulate or interrupt the chain of events involved in certain immune system-related diseases. One such potential product, referred to in this Annual Report as the "Peptide Transfer Assay", would be used to identify compounds effective in the treatment of cancer, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases and transplant rejection. Autoimmune diseases include, but are not limited to, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis and diabetes. T cells and antibodies in the body's immune system normally identify and destroy foreign substances and cancerous cells. Autoimmune diseases are generally caused by the abnormal destruction of healthy body tissues when T cells and antibodies react against normal tissue.

The Peptide Transfer Assay is ready for development for high-throughput screening and partnering. High-throughput screening is the use of robotics and automated industrial processes used to speed up the drug discovery process, testing large number of compounds against certain targets. Additional funding will be required to exploit this opportunity, however, the technology has been licensed and will continue to be protected by the company.

Screen for Regulators of Antigenicity

GeneMax recently licensed drug discovery technology that can be used to identify small molecule regulators of the immune response. We refer to this technology in this Annual Report as the Screen for Regulators of Antigenicity Technology. Management believes that the Screen for Regulators of Antigenicity Technology can be used to screen and select new drugs that regulate immune responses, and that it has relevance to both cancers and viral diseases and in modulating transplant rejection and autoimmune diseases.

Strategic Relationships

UBC

Collaborative Research Agreement

In September of 2000 GeneMax, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, GeneMax Pharmaceuticals and GeneMax Canada, entered into a Collaborative Research Agreement with the UBC to carry out further development of the TAP technologies as a cancer vaccine and other commercial products, and to provide GeneMax Pharmaceuticals with the option to acquire the rights to commercialize any additional technologies developed under the agreement. Pursuant to the Collaborative Research Agreement UBC retained all rights and title to all inventions, improvements and discoveries that are conceived by employees of UBC during the term of the Collaborative Research Agreement; however, UBC therein granted GeneMax an option to obtain a royalty-bearing license to use such inventions, improvements and discoveries that were not covered under the existing license agreement and included improvements and enhancements of the licensed technologies.

The Collaborative Research Agreement, as amended, provided for payments to UBC in the aggregate of $2,973,049 (CDN), of which $991,515 (CDN) was to be paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, $1,135,801 (CDN) was to be paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, and $471,518 (CDN) was to be paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. As of fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, an aggregate of $803,953 (CDN) was payable by GeneMax Pharmaceuticals to UBC in connection with the Collaborative Research Agreement and GeneMax had purchased certain laboratory equipment in connection with the ongoing research. In addition, the company reimbursed UBC a total of $55,812 (CDN) of patent expenditures in connection with technologies licensed to the company.

The parties to the Collaborative Research Agreement had agreed to the principal terms of a renegotiated agreement which would provide for an estimated annual budget of $295,000 (CDN) (in quarterly installments of $73,750 (CDN)) to allow for funding for one Ph.D. scientist and two support technicians. In addition, UBC continued to provide GeneMax with access to university laboratories and equipment at UBC.

License Agreement

In March of 2000 GeneMax, UBC and Dr. Wilfred A. Jefferies, then the company's Chief Scientific Officer and a director, entered into a license agreement, which is referred to in this Annual Report as the License Agreement, providing the company with an exclusive world-wide license to use certain technology developed by UBC and Dr. Jefferies. The License Agreement allowed GeneMax to use the technology associated with the patents entitled "Method for Enhancing Expression of MHC-Class 1 Molecules Bearing Endogenous Peptides" and "Method of Identifying MHC-Class 1 restricted Antigens Endogenously Processed by a Cellular Secretory Pathway" and to manufacture, distribute, market, sell, lease and license or sub-license products derived or developed from the above licensed technologies until the later of March 6, 2015 or the expiration of the last patent obtained under the License Agreement, including the expiration of patents obtained from modifications to existing patents. As consideration for entering into the License Agreement GeneMax paid an initial license fee of $113,627.32 (CDN) and issued 500,000 GeneMax Pharmaceutical shares to the University of British Columbia; which were subsequently exchanged for 500,000 restricted shares of GeneMax common stock.

On February 16, 2004, UBC granted GeneMax an exclusive, worldwide license to use a novel assay technology to screen and select new drugs that regulate immune. As consideration for entering into this license, which we refer to in this Annual Report as the "Immune Response License", GeneMax issued UBC 10,000 shares of common stock and was required to pay UBC an annual maintenance fee of $500 (CDN). The term for the Immune Response License was the longer of either 20 years or the expiration of the last patent licensed under the Immune Response License, including the expiration of patents obtained from modifications to existing patents.

Total obligations under this agreement are 450,000 Euros.

To December 31, 2005, the company had made payments required totaling $115,490 (€100,000) to Crucell pursuant to the terms of the Research License and Option Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Research License and Option Agreement, a further $60,864 (€ 50,000) was due and payable on February 7, 2004 and a further $60,103 (€ 50,000) was due and payable on August 7, 2004 leaving $120,967 owing as of December 31, 2004 under the terms of the agreement. Pursuant to the Research License and Option Agreement, if a party defaults in the performance of or fails to be in compliance with any material condition of this agreement, the Research License and Option Agreement may be terminated if the default or noncompliance is not remedied or steps initiated to remedy three months after receipt in writing to the defaulting party. Effective June 6, 2005, Crucell gave the company notice of default whereby the company had three months to remedy the default. On Nove mber 16, 2005, Crucell provided notice of Termination by Default due to the company's failure to remedy the default within the required three month period.

In May of 2006 the Company negotiated a reinstatement of the original Research and License Option Agreement with Crucell and paid Crucell on April 20, 2006 €123,590 (US$151,521) in connection with the reinstatement. Under the revised terms of the agreement, the Company will pay Crucell 12 monthly payments of €10,300 starting May 2006 (paid to October 31, 2006) and a €75,000 annual license fee (adjusted for CPI) in order to keep the reinstated agreement in good standing.

Molecular Medicine

On March 18, 2003, GeneMax entered into a production service agreement; referred to in this Annual. Report as the "PSA", with Molecular Medicine of the United States. The PSA provides for the performance of certain production services by Molecular Medicine relating to the adenoviral vector product containing GeneMax's TAP gene technology. The product is required to conduct pre-clinical toxicology studies and subsequent human clinical trials.

The company was in breach of its contractual obligations with Molecular Medicine in respect of payments due for Phase I of the project. The parties have agreed that advance payments that had been made for subsequent phases could be allocated to the Phase I deficiency so that all payments that were due under the PSA have now been paid in full and we have a $78,000 surplus which can be applied towards subsequent phases of the project.

In August 2005 we postponed production of our clinical grade TAP adeno based vaccine for pre-clinical toxicology analysis with Molecular Medicine due to technical difficulties related to the yields of vaccine. Crucell is currently in the process of solving technical issues associated with production yields of the vaccine. The company has a credit of approximately $78,000 with Molecular Medicine towards future vaccine production. Despite the technical difficulties we anticipate production of a clinical grade TAP based vaccine to be produced utilizing the adeno vector from Crucell or our in-house adeno virus vector to allow the company to meet its milestones for completing toxicology analysis by the end of 2006.

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases

On October 21, 2003, the company entered into an agreement, which we refer to in this Annual Report as the "Biological Materials Transfer Agreement", with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (or "NIAID"), a division of the Public Health Service (or "PHS"). The Biological Materials Transfer Agreement provides for the license of NIAID's Modified Vaccinia Ankara virus for use in our research and product development. The licensed technology and virus material will be used with the goal of developing a vaccine platform capable of generating superior protective immune responses against smallpox. Pursuant to the Biological Materials Transfer Agreement we pay a non-refundable annual royalty of $2,500 per year. The Biological Materials Transfer Agreement expires on November 5, 2008. PHS may terminate this agreement if the company is in default in the performance of any material obligation under this Agreement, and if the default has not been remedied wit hin ninety days after the date of written notice by PHS of such default.

Parc Place Investments AC

On October 2, 2003, GeneMax and Parc Place Investments AC (or "Parc Place"), entered into a financial consulting services agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement with Parc Place, Parc Place agreed to be engaged as a consultant to the company and to render advice, consultation, information and services regarding corporate finance and other financial service matters for a term of twelve months. The company agreed to issue finder's fees payable to Parc Place in the aggregate of 20% of private placement capital raised from European and non-U.S. sources due to the direct efforts of Parc Place. The finder's fee is to be paid in cash up to a maximum of 10%of the capital raised and the balance of the finder's fee is to be paid in shares of the company's common stock issued at a price of $0.001 per share. Effective December 31, 2003, the company accepted the resignation of Parc Place subject only to the closing of certain interim financing initiatives which completed in February 2004. At that time the company paid Parc Place $50,000 and issued 71,428 shares of common stock.

Other Technology

On February 16, 2004, GeneMax added to its technology portfolio by expanding the License Agreement with UBC to include a technological method that identifies agonists or antagonists antigen presentation to the immune system by normal and cancerous cells. Management believes that this technology can be used to screen and select new drugs that regulate immune responses.

Intellectual Property, Patents and Trademarks

Patents and other proprietary rights are vital to the business operations of GeneMax. GeneMax protects its technology through various United States and foreign patent filings, and maintains trade secrets that the company owns. Our policy is to seek appropriate patent protection both in the United States and abroad for its proprietary technologies and products. We require each of our employees, consultants and advisors to execute a confidentiality agreement upon the commencement of any employment, consulting or advisory relationship with us. Each agreement provides that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the course of the relationship will be kept confidential and not be disclosed to third parties except in specified circumstances. In the case of employees, the agreements provide that all inventions conceived of by an employee shall be the exclusive property of the company.

Patent applications in the United States are maintained in secrecy until patents are issued. There can be no assurance that our patents, and any patents that may be issued to us in the future, will afford protection against competitors with similar technology. In addition, no assurances can be given that the patents issued to us will not be infringed upon or designed around by others or that others will not obtain patents that we would need to license or design around. If the courts uphold existing or future patents containing broad claims over technology used by us, the holders of such patents could require us to obtain licenses to use such technology. In fiscal 2004 the company did not incur any costs to defend our patents.

Pursuant to the License Agreement UBC we acquired the exclusive worldwide license to a portfolio of intellectual property as follows:

Method of Enhancing Expression of MHC Class I Molecules Bearing Endogenous Peptides

On March 26, 2002, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued US Patent No. 6,361,770 to UBC for the use of TAP-1 as an immunotherapy against all cancers. The patent is titled "Method of Enhancing Expression of MHC Class I Molecules Bearing Endogenous Peptides" and provides comprehensive protection and coverage to both in vivo and ex vivo applications of TAP-1 as a therapeutic against all cancers with a variety of delivery mechanisms. The inventors were Dr. Jefferies, Dr. Reinhard Gabathuler, Dr. Gerassinmoes Kolaitis and Dr. Gregor S.D. Reid, who collectively assigned the patent to UBC under an assignment agreement. The patent expires March 23, 2014. We have pending applications for patent protection for this patent in Europe and in Japan.

Method of Identifying MHC Class I Restricted Antigens Endogenously Processed by a Secretory Pathway

On August 11, 1998, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued US Patent No. 5,792,604 to UBC, being a patent for the use of bioengineered cell lines to measure the output of the MHC Class I restricted antigen presentation pathway as a way to screen for immunomodulating drugs. The patent is titled "Method of Identifying MHC Class I Restricted Antigens Endogenously Processed by a Secretory Pathway." This patent covers the assay which can identify compounds capable of modulating the immune system. The inventors were Dr. Jefferies, Dr. Gabathuler, Dr. Kolaitis and Dr. Reid, who collectively assigned the patent to UBC under an assignment agreement. The patent expires on March 12, 2016. We have been granted patent protection for this patent in Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden Switzerland and the United Kingdom, and have applied for patent protection in Canada and Japan.

TAP Vaccines and other filings

On July 9, 2004, UBC filed a patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for patent protection for TAP vaccines as a method for increasing immune responses. As of the date of this Annual Report UBC has not received an order granting a patent. Other patent applications have been filed by UBC in respect of the company's licensed technologies. In December 2006 and January 2007 we made additional filings as continuations or new filings with regard to the same technologies as well as their applications in infectious diseases. We intend to continue to work with UBC to file additional patent applications with respect to any novel aspects of its technology to protect its intellectual property.

Competition

The oncology industry is characterized by rapidly evolving technology and intense competition. Many companies of all sizes, including a number of large pharmaceutical companies as well as several specialized biotechnology companies, are developing various immunotherapies and drugs to treat cancer. There may be products on the market that will compete directly with the products that GeneMax is seeking to develop. In addition, colleges, universities, governmental agencies and other public and private research institutions will continue to conduct research and are becoming more active in seeking patent protection and licensing arrangements to collect license fees and royalties in exchange for license rights to technologies that they have developed, some of which may directly compete with our technologies and products. These companies and institutions may also compete with GeneMax in recruiting qualified scientific personnel. Many of our potential competitors have substantially greate r financial, research and development, human and other resources than GeneMax. Furthermore, large pharmaceutical companies may have significantly more experience than GeneMax does in pre-clinical testing, human clinical trials and regulatory approval procedures. Such competitors may develop safer and more effective products, obtain patent protection or intellectual property rights that limit our ability to commercialize products, or commercialize products earlier than we do.

11


 

Management expects technology developments in the oncology industry to continue to occur at a rapid pace. Commercial developments by any competitors may render some or all of our potential products obsolete or non-competitive, which could materially harm the company's business and financial condition.

Management believes that the following companies, which are developing various types of similar immunotherapies and therapeutic cancer vaccines to treat cancer, could be major competitors of the company: CellGenSys Inc., Corixa Corp., Dendreon Corp., Genzyme Molecular Oncology, Therion Biologics Corp. and Transgene S.A.

Government Regulation

United States

The design, research, development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, promotion, marketing, advertising and distribution of drug products are extensively regulated by the FDA in the United States and similar regulatory bodies in other countries. The regulatory process is similar for a new drug application, or NDA. The steps ordinarily required before a new drug may be marketed in the United States, which are similar to steps required in most other countries, include: (i) pre-clinical laboratory tests, pre-clinical studies in animals, formulation studies and the submission to the FDA of an initial NDA; (ii) adequate and well-controlled clinical trials to establish the safety and effectiveness of the drug for each indication; (iii) the submission of the NDA to the FDA; and (iv) review by an FDA advisory committee and approval by the FDA.

Pre-clinical tests include laboratory evaluation of product chemistry, preparation of consistent test batches of product to what is known as GLP, toxicology studies, animal pre-clinical efficacy studies and manufacturing pursuant to what is known as GMP. The results of pre-clinical testing are submitted to the FDA as part of an initial NDA. After the filing of each initial NDA, and assuming all pre-clinical results have been approved, a thirty-day waiting period is required prior to the commencement of clinical testing in humans. At any time during this thirty-day period or at any time thereafter, the FDA may halt proposed or ongoing clinical trials until the FDA authorizes trials under specified terms. The initial NDA process may be extremely costly and substantially delay development of products. Moreover, positive results of pre-clinical tests will not necessarily indicate positive results in subsequent clinical trials.

After successful completion of the required clinical trials, a NDA is generally submitted. The NDA is usually reviewed by an outside committee consisting of physicians, scientists, and at least one consumer representative. The advisory committee reviews, evaluates and recommends whether the application should be approved, but the FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee. The FDA may request additional information before accepting a NDA for filing, in which case the application must be resubmitted with the additional information. Once the submission has been accepted for filing, the FDA or the advisory committee reviews the application and responds to the applicant. The review process is often extended by FDA requests for additional information or clarification. The FDA cites 24 months as the median time for NDA review.

12


 

If the FDA evaluations of the NDA and the manufacturing facilities are favorable, the FDA may issue an approval letter. An approval letter will usually contain a number of conditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA and authorization of commercial marketing of the drug for certain indications. The FDA may also refuse to approve the NDA or issue a not approval letter, outlining the deficiencies in the submission and often requiring either additional testing or information or withdrawal of the submission.

The manufacturers of approved products and their manufacturing facilities are subject to continual review and periodic inspections. GeneMax has entered into a contract with Molecular Medicine for commercial scale manufacturing of the TAP Cancer Vaccine, therefore our ability to control compliance with FDA manufacturing requirements will be limited.

Approved drugs are subject to ongoing compliance requirements and identification of certain side effects after any of the drug products are on the market. This could result in issuance of warning letters, subsequent withdrawal of approval, reformulation of the drug product, and additional pre-clinical studies or clinical trials.

Canada

In Canada, the Therapeutic Products Directorate and the Biologics and Genetic Therapies Directorate of HC ensure that clinical trials are properly designed and undertaken and that subjects are not exposed to undue risk. Regulations define specific Investigational New Drug Submission (or IND) application requirements, which must be complied with before a new drug can be distributed for trial purposes. The Directorates currently review the safety, efficacy and quality data submitted by the sponsor and approve the distribution of the drug to the investigator. The sponsor of the trial is required to maintain accurate records, report adverse drug reactions, and ensure that the investigator adheres to the approved protocol. Trials in humans should be conducted according to generally accepted principles of good clinical practice. Management believes that these standards provide assurance that the data and reported results are credible and accurate, and that the rights, integrity, and privacy of clinical trial subjects are protected.

Sponsors wishing to conduct clinical trials in Phases I to III of development must apply under a 30-day default system. Applications must contain the information described in the regulations, including: a clinical trial attestation; a protocol; statements to be contained in each informed consent form, that set out the risks posed to the health of clinical trial subjects as a result of their participation in the clinical trial; an investigator's brochure; applicable information on excipients (delivery vehicles); and chemistry and manufacturing information.

The sponsor can proceed with the clinical trial if the Directorates have not objected to the sale or importation of the drug within 30 days after the date of receipt of the clinical trial application and Research Ethics Board approval for the conduct of the trial at the site has been obtained. Additional information is available on Health Canada's website - www.hc-sc.gc.ca.

Other Jurisdictions

Outside the United States and Canada the company's ability to market drug products is contingent upon receiving marketing authorization from the appropriate regulatory authorities. Management believes that the foreign regulatory approval process includes all of the complexities associated with FDA approval described above. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials and marketing authorization vary widely from country to country. At present, foreign marketing authorizations are applied for at a national level, although within the European Union procedures are available to companies wishing to market a product in more than one member country.

13


 

Product Liability and Insurance

Once the company commences the sale of its products into the market, it will face the risk of product liability claims. Because GeneMax it not yet selling its product, it has not experienced any product liability claims to date and the company does not yet maintain product liability insurance. Management intends to maintain product liability insurance consistent with industry standards upon commencement of the marketing and distribution of the TAP Cancer Vaccine. There can be no assurance that product liability claims will not exceed such insurance coverage limits, which could have a materially adverse effect on the company's business, financial condition or results of operations, or that such insurance will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

Employees and/or Consultants

Mr. Denis Corin is our President, Chief Executive Officer and Principal Executive Officer, Mr. Patrick McGowan is our Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, and Dr. Wilfred Jefferies is our Principle Scientist. These individuals are primarily responsible for all our day-to-day operations. Other services are provided by outsourcing and consultant service agreements. As of December 31, 2006, we did not have any employees.

ITEM 2.     Properties

GeneMax does not own any real estate or other properties. Our registered office is located at 1681 Chestnut Street, Suite 400, Vancouver, British Columbia Canada, V6J 4M6. GeneMax entered into an office services arrangement pursuant to which the company receives office services and access to office and meeting spaces on a monthly basis at approximately $175 (CDN) per month base cost.

On March 1, 2007, the Company entered into a five year lease agreement for lab facilities in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The agreement requires monthly payments of $2,671 plus a share of operating costs during the first two years of the term, and monthly payments of $2,820 plus a share of operating costs for the final three years.

ITEM 3.     Legal Proceedings

Management is not aware of any legal proceedings contemplated by any government authority or any other party involving the Company. As of the date of this Annual Report, no director, officer or affiliate is (i) a party adverse to us in any legal proceeding, or (ii) has an adverse interest to us in any legal proceeding. Management is not aware of any other legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.

As at December 31, 2006, the date of the most current list of shareholders provided to the company by its transfer agent, the company had 467 shareholders of record of its common stock. Subsequent to the company's dispute with X-Clearing Corporation, our company's previous transfer agent, the company appointed Computershare Trust Company of Canada, of Vancouver, British Columbia, as the company's transfer agent.

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or by-laws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The declaration of dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

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

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

15


To date, we have not paid any dividends on our common stock, and the Board of Directors of the company does not currently intend to declare cash dividends on our common stock. We instead intend to retain earnings, if any, to support the growth of the company's business. Any future cash dividends would depend on future earnings, capital requirements and the company's financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors.

Stock and Security Issuances

The company completed a $1,016,000 convertible debenture financing on November 30, 2006, for which the Company had issued convertible promissory notes that bear interest at 8% per annum in the first year and 12% per annum in the second year. If not converted, the notes were due one year from the date of loan advance. The unpaid amount of principal and accrued interest may be converted at any time at the holder's option into shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.10 per convertible unit. Each convertible unit, upon conversion, is comprised of one common share of the Company and, without conversion, one non-transferable and detached share purchase warrant of the Company, which are issuable and exercisable without conversion. The warrants forming part of the convertible units are detachable from any conversion and non-transferable, and each such warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company for a period of five years from the date of the issue at an exercise price of $0.10 per share during the first two years, $0.20 per share during the third year, $0.30 per share during the fourth year and $0.40 per share during the fifth year. The Company had the right to redeem the convertible promissory notes at any time upon giving certain notice to the holder(s), and subject to paying a 20% premium in cash or shares (based on the previous 30 day average trading price of the Company's shares).. Subscriptions from this financing totaling $1,086,000 were received prior to December 31, 2006.

Subsequent to December 31, 2006, the Company also received an additional $475,000 of subscriptions on a private placement financing which was completed on February 12, 2007.

On February 12, 2007, and in conjunction with the prior written agreement of each convertible debenture holder to so convert the entire $1,016,000 convertible debenture financing, the Company issued the following shares:

(a)       4,945,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion of $494,500 of the convertible debenture financing issued on March 23, 2006,

(b)       10,160,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion of $1,016,000 of the convertible debenture financing issued on February 12, 2007, and

(c)       4,750,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a private placement financing of 4,750,000 units at a price of $0.10 per unit for gross proceeds of $475,000. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant, and each such warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company for a period of five years from the date of the issue at an exercise price of $0.10 per share during the first two years, $0.20 per share during the third year, $0.30 per share during the fourth year and $0.40 per share during the fifth year.

In March of 2006 the Company completed a convertible debenture financing of $494,500 for which the Company had issued convertible promissory notes that bear interest at 8% per annum in the first year and 12% per annum in the second year. If not converted, the notes were due one year from the date of loan advance. The unpaid amount of principal and accrued interest may be converted at any time at the holder's option into shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.10 per convertible unit. Each convertible unit, upon conversion, is comprised of one common share of the Company and, without conversion, one non-transferable and detached share purchase warrant of the Company, which are issuable and exercisable without conversion. The warrants forming part of the convertible units are detachable from any conversion and non-transferable, and each such warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company for a period of five years from the date of the iss ue at an exercise price of $0.10 per share during the first two years, $0.20 per share during the third year, $0.30 per share during the fourth year and $0.40 per share during the fifth year. The Company has the right to redeem the convertible promissory notes at any time upon giving certain notice to the holder(s), and subject to paying a 20% premium in cash or shares (based on the previous 30 day average trading price of the Company's shares).

In February of 2005 the company completed a private placement financing of 9,068,301 units, at a price of $0.15 per unit, for gross proceeds of $1,360,245, pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one-half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant. Each such whole common share purchase warrant entitled the holder to acquire an additional common share of the company for a period of two years at a price of $0.15 before the earlier of four months from the issue date of the warrant and the date the company completed an additional financing of not less than $2,000,000, $0.30 for the balance of the first year and thereafter at $0.50. Finders' fees comprised of 8% cash and 5% finder's fee warrants were paid to certain registered broker dealers in respect of certain of the placees. The company paid a total of $97,620 in cash finder's fees, $100,561 in legal fees and other issue costs and issued a total of 406,748 finder's fee warrants. The total fair value of the unit warrants and finder's warrants was estimated to be $116,206 and was recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

On June 2nd and June 24th of 2004 the company issued unsecured convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $300,000 and $200,000, respectively. The notes provided for an interest rate of 8% per annum and were due 12 months from the date of issue. The unpaid amount of principal and interest was convertible at any time, at the holder's option, into shares of the company's common stock at a price of $0.60 per share. In addition, the holders of the notes were granted common stock purchase warrants entitling the holder to purchase an additional 250,000 shares (in respect of the $300,000 note) and 166,667 shares (in respect of the $200,000 note). The warrants were exercisable at a price of $0.66 per share for a period of two years. The company also granted to Duncan Capital, which entity arranged for the financing, a further 125,000 common stock purchase warrants with an estimated fair value of $15,000 as a finder's fee entitling the holder to purchase an a dditional 83,333 shares of the company's common stock at a price of $0.60 per share for a period of two years and 41,667 shares of the company's common stock at a price of $0.66 per share for a period of two years. This offering was sold to a limited number of accredited investors pursuant to section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

The terms of the convertible notes were subsequently amended to extend the maturity to April 28, 2006, reduce the conversion price from $0.60 to $0.30 and to reduce the warrant exercise price from $0.66 to $0.30 for the period to December 31, 2005 and to $0.50 for the remainder of the original warrant term. In addition, the term of the warrants will be extended for a period of greater than the original two years dependent on the company achieving certain listing conditions as per the amending agreement.

In February of 2004 the company closed a private placement offering of 857,143 units, at a subscription price of $0.70 per unit, with each unit comprised of one share of common stock and one share purchase warrant. The offering was conducted outside of the United States to non-U.S. Persons in accordance with the registration exemption provided by Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. Each such warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.70 within two years of the date of issuance. Gross proceeds of the offering were $600,000. The offering provides the investors with piggy-back registration rights relating to any follow-on financing conducted that requires registration of the subject financing shares. The offering was exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act.

17


 

Also, in February of 2004 the company issued an aggregate of 357,270 shares of common stock on the exercise of stock options at $0.50 per share (in respect of 304,370 options) and $1.00 per share (in respect of 52,900 options) and issued 10,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act.

ITEM 6.     Management's Discussion And Analysis Or Plan Of Operation

Overview

We are focused on developing innovative therapeutics to treat serious disorders, primarily for cancer and infectious diseases. Since our inception we have devoted substantially all of our resources to research and development activities, primarily with early stage research in the field of gene therapy. We are currently conducting preclinical studies using our TAP gene technology in combination with an in-licensed adeno virus, with the aim of completing our preclinical trials and filing an Investigational Drug Application for cancer in 12 to 24 months. We are also in advanced discussions with various canine oncology specialists with an aim to begin a series of canine trials with TAP cancer vaccines. These canine vaccines could be comecialized sooner than the human vaccines and provide a commercial opportunity to the company. We are also pursuing vaccine developments for infectious diseases using our TAP gene technology and an in-licensed Modified Vaccinia Ankora virus with the aim of establishing licensing and partnering relationships to generate revenue and advance our in- house projects closer to commercial products.

We are a development stage company and have primarily supported the financial needs of our research and development activities since our inception through public offerings and private placements of our equity securities.  We have not received any revenue from the sale of our products in development, and we do not anticipate generating revenue from the sale of products in the foreseeable future.  In order to carry out our corporate operational plan and to support the anticipated future needs of our research and development activities, we expect that we will have cash requirements of approximately $5,000,000 over the next 24 months, which we expect to obtain through additional equity financings. The funding that we need would, if obtained, be used to support our activities surrounding our proposed clinical grade production of our lead TAP vaccine product, commencement of human clinical studies, advance the development of our prophylactic vaccine campaign and proceed with potential acquisitions or in-licensing of new technologies or products. In the event that we are able to secure funding through the sale of the company's securities, it is expected that we will expand the company's management team to include a Director of Clinical Operations, Director of Business Development, a Director of Regulatory Affairs, a Director of Research, and a Controller. It is also anticipated that as we advance our product development in oncology and prophylactic vaccines, we will incrementally increase the number of scientists employed by the company to approximately six.

We have recently secured a new leased laboratory for exclusive use by GeneMax. We expect to transfer our technologies from UBC to the new facility.

If we are able to generate revenues in the next few years, we expect the source of such revenue to consist of payments under collaborative arrangements with third parties, government grants, and license fees and the possibility of a commercial canine vaccine.  We have incurred losses since our inception and expect to incur losses over the next several years due to our lack of any substantial source of revenue and the continuation of our ongoing and planned research and development efforts, including preclinical studies and clinical trials.  There can be no assurance that we will successfully acquire, develop, commercialize, manufacture, or market our product candidates or ever achieve or sustain product revenues or profitability.

We had conducted our research and development at UBC under our Collaborative Research Agreement with the same, however, as a consequence of our Option and Settlement Agreement with UBC, we presently plan to conduct our own research and development and continue to contract out clinical grade production of our TAP based vaccines. In addition, we in-license our adeno and MVA vectors and receive technical assistance from our licensing partners.

In August of 2004 the Collaborative Research Agreement expired and could not be continued because the company lacked the financial resources. However, UBC did not terminate the research activities and research and development continued at UBC through December 2004 on the understanding that the expenses incurred would be paid once the company received further financing or would be incorporated into the terms of a new agreement. As of December 31, 2004, outstanding debt of GeneMax to UBC incurred pursuant to this arrangement was approximately $803,953.

In accordance with the terms and conditions of our Option and Settlement Agreement with UBC, and in order to keep the right and Option to Purchase the Technology granted to the Company by UBC in good standing and in force and effect; and in order to maintain the Settlement of all UBC Financial Claims consequent therein; the Company is obligated to provide the following Purchase Price Payments and to maintain the current status of UBC's existing patent and patent pending applications respecting the Technology to UBC in the following manner:

(a)       Purchase Price Payments: pay to the order and direction of UBC the following Purchase Price Payments in the aggregate amount of $556,533 (CDN) (which also equate to the present UBC Financial Claims) prior to December 31, 2006 (the end of the Option Period thereunder), and in due complete satisfaction of the settlement of the UBC Financial Claims, in the following manner:

(i)       an initial Purchase Price Payment of $50,000 (CDN) on or before 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver, B.C., time) on December 23, 2005; which payment has now been made by the Company; and

(ii)      further Purchase Price Payments of:

(A)       $300,000 (CDN) on or before 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver, B.C., time) on March 31, 2006; which payment has now also been made by the Company; and

(B)       $206,533 (CDN) (plus and any other costs or expenses which may be due and owing by GeneMax to UBC under the License Agreements and the CRA as at the Effective Date which, in the aggregate, shall not exceed $10,000 (CDN)) on or before 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver, B.C., time) on December 31, 2006; with the understanding that, should the Company complete an aggregate of $2,000,000 (CDN) in private and/or public debt and/or equity financing from the Effective Date and during the Option Period, said final Purchase Price Payment balance of $206,533 (CDN) (plus and any other costs or expenses which may be due and owing by the Company to UBC under the License Agreements and the CRA as at the Effective Date which, in the aggregate, shall not exceed $10,000 (CDN)) shall become immediately due and payable to UBC by the Company within five calendar days of the Company attaining such aggregate financing; and

19


 

(b)       Purchase Price Patent Obligations: the Company will immediately assume on the Effective Date responsibility for the management, maintenance and prosecution of all patents and patent applications filed in connection with the Technology (the "Patents") and including, without limitation, the obligation to instruct patent counsel with respect to such Patents and to pay for, and continue to pay for during the Option Period, all costs associated with the management, maintenance and prosecution of the Patents until the due and complete exercise of the Option to Purchase.

In accordance with the terms and conditions of our Option and Settlement Agreement, if the Option to Purchase is terminated then the Company shall have no right, entitlement or interest, legally or equitably, in and to any of the Technology, and the Purchase Price Payment(s) theretofore made to UBC by the Company shall be non-refundable. In addition, and to the extent that any portion of the UBC Financial Claims under the Settlement have not otherwise been contributed to through any Purchase Price Payment(s) having been made, upon any such termination the Company shall continue to be obligated to UBC for the balance of any such then unsatisfied UBC Financial Claims with interest then accruing thereon at the rate 10% per annum and compounded semi-annually while any portion of the UBC Financial Claims remain outstanding.

The Option and Settlement Agreement replaced the Company's previous disclosed (by way of Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 23, 2005) "Letter of Intent" as previously entered into between the Company and UBC.

On December 18, 2006 the Company and UBC negotiated an extension of the January 24, 2006 Option and Settlement Agreement. Under the terms of the extension the Company is obligated to pay UBC $216,533 (CDN) as follows:

(a)       $72,177 (CDN) on or before December 31, 2006; (paid);

(b)       $72,178 (CDN) plus interest of $3,362 (CDN) on or before March 20, 2007; (subsequently paid); and

(c)       $72,178 (CDN) plus interest of $1,423 (CDN) on or before May 31, 2007.

We have a Production Services Agreement with Molecular Medicine for the production of a chemical grade of our TAP adeno based vaccine for pre-clinical toxicology analysis. However, in August of 2004 we ceased production of our clinical grade vaccine due to technical difficulties related to the yields of vaccine. Crucell is currently in the process of solving technical issues associated with production yields of the vaccine. Despite the technical difficulties we anticipate a clinical grade TAP based vaccine to be produced utilizing the adeno vector from Crucell or our in-house adeno virus vector to allow the company to meet its milestones for completing toxicology analysis by the end of 2006. We anticipate commencing chemical grade production of our oncology vaccine in 2007.

The company was in breach of its contractual obligations with Moleclar Medicine in respect of payments due for Phase I of the project. The parties have agreed that advance payments that had been made for subsequent phases could be allocated to the Phase I deficiency so that all payments that were due under the PSA have now been paid in full and the company has a credit of approximately $78,000 with Molecular Medicine to be applied towards future vaccine production.

Pursuant to the Research License and Option Agreement Crucell granted GeneMax a non-exclusive, worldwide license for Crucell's adenovirus technology and an option for a non-exclusive, worldwide commercial license to manufacture, use, offer for sale, sell and import products using the licensed technology in the therapy of human subjects by administering a modified and proprietary adeno virus vector (used to package GeneMax's TAP gene technology and deliver it to the target cancer cell in the patient) including, but not limited to, therapeutic gene sequence(s). The Research License and Option Agreement provided for bi-annual license maintenance fees of 50,000 Euros, exclusive of applicable taxes, during the first two years of the agreement, and an annual license maintenance fees of 75,000 Euros, exclusive of applicable taxes, starting on the third anniversary until the expiration of the agreement on August 7, 2008. Total obligations under this agreement are 450,000 Euros.

To December 31, 2003, the company had made payments required totaling $115,490 (€100,000) to Crucell pursuant to the terms of the Research License and Option Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Research License and Option Agreement, a further $120,697 (€100,000) was incurred (not paid) during 2004 and an additional $126,355 (€100,000) was incurred during 2005 leaving a total of $236,880 (€200,000) owing as at December 31, 2005. Pursuant to the Research License and Option Agreement, if a party defaults in the performance of or fails to be in compliance with any material condition of this agreement, the Research License and Option Agreement may be terminated if the default or noncompliance is not remedied or steps initiated to remedy three months after receipt in writing to the defaulting party. Effective June 6, 2005, Crucell gave the company notice of default whereby the company had three months to remedy the default. On November 16, 2005, Crucell provided notic e of Termination by Default due to the company's failure to remedy the default within the required three month period.

In May 2006 the Company negotiated a reinstatement of the original Research and License Option Agreement with Crucell and paid Crucell on April 20, 2006 €123,590 (US$151,521) in connection with the reinstatement. Under the revised terms of the agreement, the Company will pay Crucell 12 monthly payments of €10,300 starting May 2006 (paid to October 31, 2006) and a €75,000 annual license fee (adjusted for CPI) in order to keep the reinstated agreement in good standing.

We also have a License Agreement with the National Institute of Health (USA) for the use of the Modified Vaccinia Ankora (MVA) virus for the development of vaccines. We will continue to license this technology for the development of prophylactic vaccines against infectious diseases. Under the terms of this agreement we are required to pay a royalty of $2,500 per year which has been paid.

Plan of Operation and Funding

Management believes that an estimated $5,000,000 is required over the next two years for expenses associated with the balance of pre-clinical development and completion of Canine toxicology and Phase I/II clinical trials for the TAP Cancer Vaccine and for various operating expenses.

The company has not generated any cash flow to fund its operations and activities due primarily to the nature of lengthy product development cycles that are normal to the biotech industry. Therefore, the company must raise additional funds in the future to continue operations. The company intends to finance its operating expenses with further issuances of common stock. The company believes that anticipated future private placements of equity capital, if successful, may be adequate to fund the company's operations over the next 24 months. Thereafter, the company expects it will need to raise additional capital to meet long-term operating requirements. The company's future success and viability are dependent on the company's ability to raise additional capital through further private offerings of its stock or loans from private investors. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable t erms, we may not be able to conduct our proposed business operations successfully, which could significantly and materially restrict or delay the company's overall business operations.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The company utilizes the granting of stock options as a means to compensate certain employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the company. As the company is currently in the development stage, these stock options form a significant portion of the overall compensation provided by the company. As a result, the company's accounting policy with respect to these grants of stock options is critical to the company's overall financial statement presentation, financial position, and results of operations.

The company accounts for stock-based compensation in connection with these stock option grants in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 and 148, and Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44. For further details, refer to the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to the company's consolidated financial statements contained herein.

For Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared with Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2005

Net revenues during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $0. The lack of revenues during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 resulted from the emphasis on the research and development of the TAP technologies. Interest income of Nil was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2006 (2005-$3,959).

Consulting fees were $155,407 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $36,023 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $119,384. The increase was due to a new corporate development services agreement with Cabela Ventures S.A. and a greater reliance on outside consultants in lieu of contracted management during the year. No consulting fees were paid for by the granting of stock options in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

Gain on settlement of debt decreased to $30,461 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $142,549 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.. Debt settlement agreements are at the discretion of the Company's management and not part of normal operating activities.

Interest was $446,598 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $116,817 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $329,781. The increase was to interest charged on the beneficial conversion feature of convertible debt, as well as accrued interest and accretion of the discount on convertible debt.

License fees were $96,950 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $182,422 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $85,472 due to, generally, lower levels of activity in 2006.

Management fees and salaries were $182,819 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $134,544 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $48,275 due primarily to an accrued bonus and monthly fees due to a current Board member, which was partially offset by the cancellation of a management services agreement with the former CEO of the Company.

The office and general expenses incurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 were $21,181 compared to $73,761 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $52,580. The decrease was a reflection of the overall lower level of corporate activity in 2006.

22


 

Professional fees primarily for legal work were $240,016 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $283,774 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $43,758. This decrease was also the result of a generally lower level of corporate activity in 2006.

Research and development during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 was $173,172 compared to $248,359 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 due to lower levels of research during the year.

As a result of the above, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the company recorded operating expenses of $1,304,387 compared to $989,558, an increase of $314,829 or 32% from the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Of the $1,304,387 incurred as operating expenses, the company incurred an aggregate of $298,611 in fees payable to certain directors and/or private companies controlled by those directors of the company and other related parties pursuant to consulting, management and research and development agreements.

As a result of the above, the company's net losses during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 were $1,304,387 or $0.05 per share as compared to a net loss of $985,599 or $0.03 per share during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $318,788 or 32%. The increase in net loss is attributable primarily to interest charges related to convertible debt, and accrued consulting and management fees which were offset by lower levels of corporate and lab activity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As December 31, 2006, the company had $120,436 in cash. Generally, the company has financed operations to date through the proceeds of convertible debt and the private placement of equity securities. The company received $1,220,500 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 from financing activities.

The company completed a $494,500 convertible debenture financing on March 24, 2006. Subscriptions from this financing totaling $60,000 were received prior to December 31, 2005. Subsequent to March 24, 2006, the Company received an additional $1,086,000 of subscriptions on a second tranche of convertible debenture financing that was completed on February 12, 2007.

During 2005 the company completed a private placement financing of 9,068,301 units, at a price of $0.15 per unit, for gross proceeds of $1,360,245, pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one-half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant. Each such whole common share purchase warrant entitled the holder to acquire an additional common share of the company for a period of two years at a price of $0.15 before the earlier of four months from the issue date of the warrant and the date the company completed an additional financing of not less than $2,000,000, $0.30 for the balance of the first year and thereafter at $0.50. Finders' fees comprised of 8% cash and 5% finder's fee warrants were paid to certain registered broker dealers in respect of certain of the placees. The company paid a total of $97,620 in cash finder's fees, $100,561 in legal fees and other issue costs and issued a total of 406,748 finder's fee warrants. The total fair value of the unit warrants and finder's warrants was estimated to be $116,206 and was recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

23


During 2004 the company issued unsecured convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $500,000. The notes provided for an interest rate of 8% per annum and were due 12 months from the date of issue. The unpaid amount of principal and interest was convertible at any time, at the holder's option, into shares of the company's common stock at a price of $0.60 per share. In addition, the holders of the notes were granted common stock purchase warrants entitling the holder to purchase an additional 250,000 shares (in respect of the $300,000 note) and 166,667 shares (in respect of the $200,000 note). The warrants were exercisable at a price of $0.66 per share for a period of two years. The company also granted to Duncan Capital, which entity arranged for the financing, a further 125,000 common stock purchase warrants with an estimated fair value of $15,000 as a finder's fee entitling the holder to purchase an additional 83,333 shares of the company's common stock at a price of $0. 60 per share for a period of two years and 41,667 shares of the company's common stock at a price of $0.66 per share for a period of two years. This offering was sold to a limited number of accredited investors pursuant to section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

In 2005 the terms of the convertible notes were amended to extend the maturity to April 28, 2006, reduce the conversion price from $0.60 to $0.30 and to reduce the warrant exercise price from $0.66 to $0.30 for the period to December 31, 2005 and to $0.50 for the remainder of the original warrant term. In addition, the term of the warrants will be extended for a period of greater than the original two years dependent on the company achieving certain listing conditions as per the amending agreement.

In February of 2004 the company closed a private placement offering of 857,143 units, at a subscription price of $0.70 per unit, with each unit comprised of one share of common stock and one share purchase warrant. The offering was conducted outside of the United States to non-U.S. Persons in accordance with the registration exemption provided by Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. Each such warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.70 within two years of the date of issuance. Gross proceeds of the offering were $600,000. The offering provides the investors with piggy-back registration rights relating to any follow on financing conducted that requires registration of the subject financing shares. The offering was exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act.

Net cash used in operating activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 was $1,185,863. The company had no revenues during the fiscal 2006. Expenditures were primarily the result of payments for professional fees and our research and development activities.

At December 31, 2006, GeneMax had 3,100,000 stock options and 9,885,898 share purchase warrants outstanding. The outstanding stock options have a weighted average exercise price of $0.55 per share. The outstanding warrants have a weighted average exercise price of $0.29 per share. Accordingly, as at December 31, 2006, the outstanding options and warrants represented a total of 12,985,898 shares issuable for a maximum of approximately $4,571,910 if these options and warrants were exercised in full. The exercise of these options and warrants is completely at the discretion of the holders. There is no assurance that any of these options or warrants will be exercised.

As of December 31, 2006, we anticipate that we will need significant financing to enable us to meet our anticipated expenditures for the next 24 months, which is anticipated to be $5,000,000 assuming a single Phase 1 clinical trial.

The company's financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the company be unable to continue in operation. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and pay our liabilities arising from our business operations when they come due. We will be unable to continue as a going concern if we are unable to obtain sufficient financing.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140", to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with ear lier application allowed. This standard is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity's first fi scal year beginning after September 15, 2006. This adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements". The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)". This statement requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement had no impa ct on the Company's reported financial position or results of operations.

25


 

In September of 2006 the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements." SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for periods ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have a material effect on its financial position and results of operations.

Risk Factors

An investment in GeneMax entails numerous risks and uncertainties, including those listed below, that should be carefully considered. These risk and uncertainties could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expected which would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

We have a history of operating losses.

We continue to incur losses and are will require additional financing to continue our operations. We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flow from operations for most of our history. Losses incurred since our inception have aggregated $14,771,006 and there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate positive cash flows to fund our operations in the future or to pursue our strategic objectives. We believe that we will have sufficient cash to satisfy our needs for at least the next four to six months. We will need to raise additional capital, most likely via the sale of equity securities, to fund our operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on terms satisfactory to us, if at all. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to existing stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may include restrictive covenants. If adequate funds are not available, we might be required to limit our research and deve lopment activities or our selling, marketing and administrative activities any of which could have a material adverse effect on the future of the business.

Further, we do not have any products that generate revenue and expect our operating losses to increase significantly as we commence clinical trials. We do not expect to earn significant revenue for several years, and may never do so. Continued operating losses and the failure to satisfy our financial obligations will have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and the future of our business.

The independent auditor's report accompanying our December 31, 2006 consolidated financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared "assuming that the company will continue as a going concern," which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital to fund ongoing research and development and ultimately on generating future profitable operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient additional capital or eventually positive cash flow from operations to address all of our cash flow needs. If we were not able to find alternative sources of cash or generate positive cash flow from operations, our business and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.

26


 

We depend upon collaborative relationships and third parties for product development and commercialization, and are in breach of many of the agreements with these parties.

We have historically entered into research and development agreements with collaborative partners. Pursuant to these agreements, our collaborative partners provide us with the intellectual property and options for the license of the intellectual property necessary to develop and commercialize our product candidates. We will continue to rely on future collaborative partners for the development of products and technologies. There can be no assurance that we will be able to negotiate such collaborative arrangements on acceptable terms, if at all, or that current or future collaborative arrangements will be successful. To the extent that we are not able to establish such arrangements, we could be forced to undertake such activities at our own expense. The amount and timing of resources that any of these partners devotes to these activities will generally be based on progress by us in our product development efforts. Some of our collaborative arrangements may be terminated by the part ner upon prior notice without cause and there can be no assurance that any of these partners will perform its contractual obligations or that it will not terminate its agreement.

In August of 2004 our Collaborative Research Agreement with UBC expired and could not be continued because the company lacked the financial resources. However, UBC did not terminate the research activities and research and development continued at UBC through December 2004 on the understanding that the expenses incurred would be paid once the company received further financing or would be incorporated into the terms of a new agreement. As of December 31, 2004, outstanding debt of GeneMax to UBC incurred pursuant to this arrangement was approximately $803,953. In December of 2005 we signed a Letter of Intent with UBC whereby all existing financial claims by UBC would be satisfied in consideration of UBC providing GeneMax with an option to acquire outright all of UBC's right title and interest in the technologies licensed to GeneMax. The Letter of Intent was followed by the completion of a definitive agreement on January 24, 2006.

Under the terms of the agreement we are obligated to pay UBC $478,532 ($556,533 (CDN)) as follows:

(a)       $42,992 ($50,000 (CDN)); (paid);

(b)       $257,954 ($300,000 (CDN)) by March 31, 2006; (subsequently paid); and

(c)       $177,586 ($206,533 (CDN)) on or before December 31, 2006; with the understanding that, should the we complete an aggregate private and/or public financing of $1,719,690 ($2,000,000 (CDN)) before December 31, 2006, this payment shall become immediately due and payable to UBC.

Under the terms of the agreement we are also obligated to pay any other costs or expenses which may be due and owing by GeneMax to UBC under the license agreements and the CRA as at the effective date which, in the aggregate, shall not exceed $8,598 ($10,000 (CDN)).

Under the terms of the agreement we also assumed responsibility for the management, maintenance and protection of all patents and patent applications filed in connection with the technology.

In accordance with the terms of agreement, if the option to purchase is terminated then we shall have no right, entitlement or interest, in and to any of the technology, and the payment(s) theretofore made to UBC shall be non-refundable. In addition, and to the extent that any portion of the UBC financial claims under the settlement have not otherwise been contributed to through any purchase price payment(s) having been made, upon any such termination we shall continue to be obligated to UBC for the balance of any such then unsatisfied UBC financial claims with interest then accruing thereon at the rate 10% per annum and compounded semi-annually while any portion of the UBC financial claims remain outstanding.

On December 18, 2006 the Company and UBC negotiated an extension of the January 24, 2006 Option and Settlement Agreement. Under the terms of the extension the Company is obligated to pay UBC $216,533 (CDN) as follows:

(a)       $72,173 (CDN) on or before December 31, 2006; (paid);

(b)       $72,173 (CDN) plus interest of. $3,362 (CDN) on or before March 20, 2007; (paid); and

(c)       $72,173 (CDN) plus interest of $1,423 (CDN) on or before May 31, 2007.

To December 31, 2003, the company had made payments required totaling $115,490 (€100,000) to Crucell pursuant to the terms of the Research License and Option Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Research License and Option Agreement, a further $120,697 (€100,000) was incurred (not paid) during 2004 and an additional $126,355 (€100,000) was incurred during 2005 leaving a total of $236,880 (€200,000) owing as at December 31, 2005. Pursuant to the Research License and Option Agreement, if a party defaults in the performance of or fails to be in compliance with any material condition of this agreement, the Research License and Option Agreement may be terminated if the default or noncompliance is not remedied or steps initiated to remedy three months after receipt in writing to the defaulting party. Effective June 6, 2005, Crucell gave the company notice of default whereby the company had three months to remedy the default. On November 16, 2005, Crucell provided notice of Termination by Default due to the company's failure to remedy the default within the required three month period.

In May of 2006 the Company negotiated a reinstatement of the original Research and License Option Agreement with Crucell and paid Crucell on April 2006 €123,590 (US$151,521) in connection with the reinstatement. Under the revised terms of the agreement, the Company will pay Crucell 12 monthly payments of €10,300 starting May 2006 (paid to October 31, 2006) and a €75,000 annual license fee (adjusted for CPI) in order to keep the reinstated agreement in good standing.

The company was in breach of its contractual obligations with Moleclar Medicine in respect of payments due under the PSA for Phase I. The parties have agreed that advance payments that had been made for subsequent phases could be allocated to the Phase I deficiency so that all payments that were due under the PSA have now been paid in full and we have a $78,000 surplus which can be applied towards subsequent phases of the project.

Pursuant to the Biological Materials Transfer Agreement with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, payments of $2,876 are now overdue, although the Public Health Service (PHS) has not issued a notice of default. PHS may terminate this Agreement if the company is in default in the performance of any material obligation under this Agreement, and if the default has not been remedied within ninety days after the date of written notice by PHS of such default.

Preclinical testing and future clinical trials may take longer than anticipated, and we may be unable to complete them at all.

While management believes that the Phase I human clinical trials of the TAP Cancer Vaccine in oncology will commence in fiscal year 2007 there can be no assurances that they will occur on this time frame, if at all. We may not commence or complete the pivotal clinical trials of the TAP Cancer Vaccine or commence or complete clinical trials involving any other product candidates or may not conduct them successfully. Further, our development costs will increase if we experience any future delays in the preclinical trials or clinical trials for the TAP Cancer Vaccine or other potential products or if we are required to perform additional or larger clinical trials than currently planned. Any substantial delay of or the failure to complete the clinical trials would have a material adverse effect upon our business.

28


 

If testing of a particular product candidate does not yield successful results, then we will be unable to commercialize that product. We must demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the TAP Cancer Vaccine and its other potential products in humans through extensive preclinical and clinical testing. We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, the testing process that could delay or prevent commercialization of our product candidates. Further, clinical testing is very expensive, the process takes many years, and the outcome is uncertain. Unsuccessful results from preclinical and clinical testing will have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our products and activities are subject to regulation by various governments and government agencies.

The testing of our products is subject to regulation by numerous governmental authorities, principally the FDA and certain foreign regulatory agencies. Pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and the regulations promulgated there under, the FDA regulates the preclinical and clinical testing, development, and commercialization of our potential products. Noncompliance with applicable requirements can result in, among other consequences, fines, injunctions, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products, repair, replacement or refund of the cost of products, total or partial suspension of production, failure of the government to grant pre-market clearance or pre-market approval for devices, withdrawal of marketing clearances or approvals, and criminal prosecution.

Government regulation imposes significant costs and restrictions on the development and commercialization of our products and services. Our success will depend on our ability to satisfy regulatory requirements. We may not receive required regulatory approvals on a timely basis, if at all. Government agencies heavily regulate the production and sale of healthcare products and the provision of healthcare services. In particular, the FDA and comparable agencies in foreign countries must approve human therapeutic and diagnostic products before they are marketed, as well as the facilities in which they are made. This approval process can involve lengthy and detailed laboratory and clinical testing, sampling activities and other costly and time-consuming procedures. Our failure to comply with applicable regulatory approval requirements may lead regulatory authorities to take action against us, which may delay or cease the development and commercialization of our product candidates.

Therapies that have received regulatory approval for commercial sale may continue to face regulatory difficulties. The FDA and comparable foreign regulatory agencies, may require post-marketing clinical trials or patient outcome studies. In addition, regulatory agencies subject a marketed therapy, its manufacturer and the manufacturer's facilities to continual review and periodic inspections. The discovery of previously unknown problems with a therapy, the therapy's manufacturer or the facility used to produce the therapy could prompt a regulatory authority to impose restrictions on the therapy, manufacturer or facility, including withdrawal of the therapy from the market.

Competition in the human medical diagnostics industry is, and is expected to remain, significant, and we may never obtain market acceptance of our product candidates.

Competition in the cancer therapeutics field is intense and is accentuated by the rapid pace of technological development. Our competitors range from development stage diagnostics companies to major domestic and international pharmaceutical companies. Many of these companies have financial, technical, marketing, sales, manufacturing, distribution and other resources significantly greater than ours. In addition, many of these companies have name recognition, established positions in the market and long standing relationships with customers and distributors. Moreover, the industry has recently experienced a period of consolidation, during which many of the large domestic and international pharmaceutical companies have been acquiring mid-sized diagnostics companies, further increasing the concentration of resources. Our future success will depend on our ability to effectively develop and market our product candidates against those of our competitors. If our product candidates re ceive marketing approval, but cannot compete effectively in the marketplace, our business and financial position would suffer greatly. There can be no assurance that technologies will not be introduced that could be directly competitive with or superior to our technologies.

29


 

Market acceptance of the TAP Cancer Vaccine and our other product candidates is uncertain. Even if the TAP Cancer Vaccine and other potential products are approved and sold, physicians may not ultimately use them or may use them only in applications more restricted than we expect. Physicians will only prescribe a product if they determine, based on experience, clinical data, side effect profiles and other factors, that it is beneficial and preferable to other products and treatments then in use. Many other factors influence the adoption of new products, including marketing and distribution restrictions, course of treatment, adverse publicity, product pricing, the views of thought leaders in the medical community, and reimbursement by third-party payers. Failure to obtain market acceptance of our product candidates will have a material adverse effect upon our business.

We depend on key employees.

Due to the specialized nature of our business, our success will be highly dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified scientific and executive personnel. Our success depends to a significant extent upon our key management, including Denis Corin, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Patrick McGowan, our Chief Financial Officer, and Dr. Wilfred Jefferies, our Principle Scientist. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel we require to develop and market our product candidates and to conduct our operations successfully. Failure to retain Mr. Corin, Mr. McGowan, or Dr. Jefferies would have a material adverse effect upon our business.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and license patent rights, to maintain trade secret protection and to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others.

Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection for the technology underlying our product candidates, both in the United States and in other countries. We cannot assure you that any of our current or future patent applications will result in issued patents, or that any patents issued to us or licensed by us will not be challenged, invalidated or held unenforceable. Further, we cannot guarantee that any patents issued to us will provide us with a significant competitive advantage. If we fail to successfully enforce our proprietary technology or otherwise maintain the proprietary nature of our intellectual property with respect to our significant current and proposed products, it would have a material adverse effect upon our business. We could incur substantial costs in defending the company or our licensees in litigation brought by others who claim that we are infringing on their intellectual property rights. The potential for reduced sales and increased legal expenses would have a negative impact on our cash flow and thus our overall business could be adversely affected.

The testing, manufacturing and marketing of therapeutic medical technology entails an inherent risk of product liability claims.

To date, we have experienced no product liability claims, but any such claims arising in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Potential product liability claims may exceed the amount of our insurance coverage or may be excluded from coverage under the terms of our policy or limited by other claims under our umbrella insurance policy. Additionally, there can be no assurance that our existing insurance can be renewed by us at a cost and level of coverage comparable to that presently in effect, if at all. In the event that we are held liable for a claim against which we are not insured or for damages exceeding the limits of our insurance coverage, such claim could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow and thus potentially have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

30


 

We use hazardous materials in some of our research and development activities.

Our research activities sometimes involve the controlled use of various hazardous materials. Although we believe that our safety procedures for handling and disposing of such materials comply with the standards prescribed by state and federal regulations, the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials cannot be completely eliminated. We could be held liable for any damages that might result from any such accident involving such hazardous materials. Any such liability could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

There has, to date, been no active public market for our common stock, and there can be no assurance that an active public market will develop or be sustained.

Our common stock has been traded on the OTCBB since prior to the acquisition of GeneMax Pharmaceuticals. Both before and since the acquisition trading in our common stock has been sporadic with insignificant volume. Moreover, the over-the-counter markets for securities of very small companies historically have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These broad market fluctuations and other factors, such as new product developments, trends in our industry, the investment markets, economic conditions generally, and quarterly variation in our results of operations, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, our common stock is subject to rules adopted by the SEC regulating broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Such rules require the delivery prior to any penny stock transaction of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and all associated risks and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors, which are generally defined as institutions or an investor with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with the spouse. For these types of transactions the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in securities subject to the penny stock rules. We do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Significant fluctuations in out stock price may have a material adverse effect upon our shareholders.

We are controlled by management.

As of April 13, 2007, our officers and directors owned of record approximately 2,872,465 or 5.86% of the outstanding shares of common stock. If they exercise all of the options that they currently hold, they would own 4,872,465, shares of our common stock or 9.90% of the outstanding shares of common stock. Due to their stock ownership, the officers and directors may be in a position to elect the Board of Directors and to control our business and affairs, including certain significant corporate actions such as acquisitions, the sale or purchase of assets and the issuance and sale of the company's securities. The interest of our officers and directors may differ from the interests of other shareholders.

31


 

As of April 13, 2007, we had reserved 10,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance upon exercise of options which have been or may be granted pursuant to our stock option plans, of which options to purchase 3,100,000 shares were outstanding as of March 31, 2007. Additionally, as of April 13, 2007, there were 9,885,898 warrants outstanding to purchase our common stock. Sales of common stock underlying these stock options and warrants would have a significant dilutive effect upon our current shareholders and may adversely affect the price of the common stock.

Pursuant to the terms and provisions of the 442668 B.C. Consulting Agreement, Dr. Jefferies was entitled to performance based stock options pursuant to which Dr. Jefferies' fully diluted equity ownership interest would be modified to 25% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The provision was to expire on December 31, 2007, and was subject to the achievement of performance milestones to be mutually agreed upon us and Dr. Jefferies and regulatory approvals of applicable jurisdictions. As of the date of this Annual Report the 442668 B.C. Consulting Agreement has been renegotiated and such provision has been eliminated.

ITEM 7.     FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, are included as a separate section of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB beginning on page F-1.

ITEM 8.     CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS OF ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.

Item 8A.   Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Our Chief Executive Officer, Denis Corin, and our Chief Financial Officer, Patrick A. McGowan, are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for our company.

Our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2006 (under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act.  As part of such evaluation, management considered the matters discussed below relating to internal control over financial reporting.  Based on that evaluation, Messrs. Corin and McGowan concluded that the company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms.

The term "internal control over financial reporting" is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

32


 

  • pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the registrant;
  • provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and
  • provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

The company is of the view that with certain recent changes in each of the company's management structure, corporate governance policies and accounting personnel during its most recent fiscal year, the company's internal controls over financial reporting have been improved to a level necessary to reduce the risk of material misstatement or error to an appropriate level for the size and nature of the business. Further improvements in both entity level and process level controls are planned for 2007 to assist management in meeting current financial reporting control reporting requirements

Committees of the Board of Directors

Audit Committee

The Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee which functions pursuant to a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company in March 2004; a copy of which has been filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003. The members of our Audit Committee are Messrs. McGowan and Lindsay and Dr. Wilson.

Our Board of Directors has determined that our Audit Committee does not have a member that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B. Our Board of Directors believes that it is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and that retaining an independent director who would qualify as a "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome at this time.

35


 

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the company's directors and officers, and the persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the common stock of the company, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Commission. Copies of all filed reports are required to be furnished to the company pursuant to Rule 16a-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. To the company's knowledge, based solely on review of copies of such reports furnished to us and verbal representations to the company, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its directors and executive officers were not timely met. No person that was appointed a director or officer of the company in 2006 filed a Form 3 upon becoming an officer or director of the Company. We have retained U.S. securities counsel to assist with efforts to comply with Section 16 requirements. The Company has no knowledge of the holdings of any 10% shareholders.

Code of Ethics

As the Company has been in the process of renegotiating certain agreements and raising capital, at this time, the Company has not adopted a formal Code of Ethics. The Company expects to adopt a formal Code of Ethics in the second quarter of 2007.

Management Consulting Agreements

442668 B.C. Consulting Agreements

On February 1, 2000, GeneMax Pharmaceuticals and 442668 B.C. Ltd, a British Columbia corporation, entered into a consulting agreement, which we refer to as the 442668 B.C. Consulting Agreement, and such agreement was amended effective December 31, 2003. Dr. Jefferies an officer, director and a 50% shareholder of 442668 B.C. Ltd. Pursuant to the 442668 B.C. Consulting Agreement, as amended, Dr. Jefferies was to provide technical, research and technology development services to GeneMax until March 6, 2005. Dr. Jefferies was to be paid a monthly fee of approximately $14,166 (CDN) for an aggregate annual salary of $170,000 (CDN), and would be reimbursed for expenses incurred for the benefit of GeneMax Pharmaceuticals. Separately, it was agreed that Dr. Jefferies would also be entitled to certain provisions in respect of his stock position pursuant to which, upon the achievement of certain milestones to be mutually agreed upon by the company and Dr. Jefferies, Dr. Jefferies' fully d iluted equity ownership interest would be modified to 25% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock. These provisions were to expire on December 31, 2007 and were also subject to regulatory approvals of applicable jurisdictions.

37


 

Effective December 31, 2003, the Board of Directors of the company approved and authorized the payment to Dr. Jefferies of a bonus in the aggregate amount of $50,000 (CDN). The bonus was to accrue and, at the election of Dr. Jefferies, was to be payable from receipt of certain subsequent proceeds or assigned to the company for the exercise price of certain stock options.

Effective February 8, 2005, the 442668 B.C. Consulting Agreement was renegotiated. The renegotiated agreement, which we refer to in this Annual Report as the "Jefferies & 442668 B.C. Consulting Agreement", was entered into by the company, 442668 B.C. Ltd. and Dr. Jefferies and provides for a base fee of $10,000 (CDN) per month, an annual bonus to be determined by the company's compensation committee and a grant of options, at a future date to be determined, to acquire up to 2,500,000 shares of common stock. Options to acquire an additional 2,000,000 shares of common stock will be granted upon the achievement of certain financial milestones. In addition, 442668 B.C. Ltd. will be issued 452,100 shares of common stock in consideration of the forgiveness of $113,205 of debt that had accrued under the 442668 B.C. Ltd. Consulting Agreement.

Under the Jefferies & 442668 B.C. Consulting Agreement, 442668 B.C. Ltd. agreed to provide the services of Dr. Jefferies as the Chief Science Officer of the company.

Voluntary Pooling Agreement

On May 9, 2002 in connection with the acquisition of the Company's subsidiaries, GeneMax Pharmaceuticals Inc., GeneMax, certain shareholders and Global Securities Transfer Inc. (now X-Clearing Corp.), the company's stock transfer agent, entered into an agreement, referred to as the "VPA", effective July 15, 2002. The VPA provides that certain shareholders of the company holding collectively 9,158,280 shares of common stock agreed to a restrictive holding period for the pooled shares. The VPA provides that the pooled shares will not be traded, will not become available for trading and will not be released to the shareholders to enable them to be sold until certain future release dates. The initial ten percent (10%) of the pooled shares was to be released on or about that date which was one year from the final closing under the share exchange agreement relating to the acquisition of GeneMax Pharmaceuticals Inc.; however the pooling committee established by the Board of Directors to admin ister the VPA extended that date by one year. The company subsequently determined that the initial 10% release should have occurred on October 15, 2003 and that the pooling committee had effectively extended that date to October 15, 2004. Following the initial release, the remaining pooled shares will be released in ten percent (10%) increments every three calendar months. The terms of the VPA may not be changed and the pool may not be challenged without the prior written consent of at least such number of pooled shareholders who hold not less than two-thirds of the pooled shares remaining in the pool. On March 10, 2007 the pooled shares were released from the VPA and have now been delivered to the company's original VPA shareholders.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of GeneMax Corp.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GeneMax Corp. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years then ended and the period from July 27, 1999 (inception) through December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GeneMax Corp. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and the period from July 27, 1999 (inception) through December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated profits since its inception, has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in this regard are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GENEMAX CORP.
(a development stage company)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On May 9, 2002, GeneMax Corp. ("GMC" or the "Company"), a Nevada corporation entered into a letter of intent to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of GeneMax Pharmaceuticals Inc. (a development stage company) ("GPI"), in exchange for a total of 11,431,965 restricted shares of common stock of GMC. During July and August 2002, the Company completed the transaction pursuant to a definitive Share Exchange Agreement and issued 11,231,965 restricted shares of common stock to the GPI stockholders and 200,000 shares of common stock as a finder's fee.

GPI is a private Delaware company incorporated July 27, 1999 which has a wholly-owned subsidiary, GeneMax Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc. ("GPC"), a private British Columbia company incorporated May 12, 2000. GPI is a development stage company which was formed for the purpose of building a biotechnology business specializing in the discovery and development of immunotherapeutics aimed at the treatment and eradication of cancer, and therapies for infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders and transplant tissue rejection.

During 2000, GPI and the University of British Columbia ("UBC") entered into a worldwide license agreement providing GPI the exclusive license rights to certain patented and unpatented technologies originally invented and developed by UBC. Also during 2000, GPI and UBC entered into a Collaborative Research Agreement ("CRA") appointing UBC to carry out further development of the licensed technology and providing GPI the option to acquire the rights to commercialize any additional technologies developed within the CRA in consideration for certain funding commitments (refer to Note 4). The lead product resulting from these licenses is a cancer immunotherapy vaccine, on which the Company has been completing pre-clinical work in anticipation of clinical trials. Specifically the Company has moved the technology through issuance of a U.S. patent, tested various viral vectors needed to deliver the gene that forms the basis for the vaccine, licensed a preferred viral vector and contracted out pr oduction of clinical grade vaccine (refer to Note 4). The Company plans to continue development of the lead product vaccine through clinical trials. The other technologies licensed include assays, which the Company plans to use for generation of a pipeline of immune-modulation products. The assay technology acquired has received patent protection.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As at December 31, 2006, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $3,002,246, a capital deficiency of $3,000,080 and has incurred significant losses since inception and further losses are anticipated in the development of its products raising substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital to fund ongoing research and development, satisfy certain debt obligations and ultimately on generating future profitable operations. Costs relating to future clinical trials of the Company's cancer immunotherapy vaccine are imminent as part of normal product development and advancement. Since internally generated cash flow w ill not fund development and commercialization of the Company's products, the Company will require significant additional financial resources and will be dependant on future financings to fund its ongoing research and development as well as other working capital requirements. The Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors including the rate and extent of scientific progress in its research and development programs, the timing, cost and scope involved in its clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals and pursuing further patent protections and the timing and costs of its commercialization activities.

The company has undergone a management changes in 2006 and intends to address going concern remediation through raising additional sources of capital for operations, restructuring and retiring debt through conversion to equity and debt settlement arrangements with creditors. Management's plans are intended to return the company to financial stability and improve continuing operations. The Company continues to raise capital through private placements and loans to meet immediate working capital requirements.  In February 2007, additional gross proceeds of $475,000 were raised in connection with private placement financings (refer to Note 10).  Management expects to be able to complete restructuring plans and expand programs including entering clinical trials for its lead TAP cancer vaccine (transporters of antigen processing). These measures, if successful, will contribute to reducing the risk of going concern uncertainties for the Company over the next two years

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been presented in United States dollars and prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Principles of Consolidation

The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries GPI and GPC as described in Note 1. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas requiring management's estimates and assumptions are determining the fair value of stock-based compensation, the fair value of the components of the convertible notes payable, the useful lives of furniture and equipment, allocation of costs to research and development and accrued liabilities.

Furniture and Equipment

Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: Office furniture and equipment - 36 months; Laboratory equipment - 60 months; Computer equipment - 24 months. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Replacements and betterments are capitalized.

Deferred Finance Fees

The Company defers direct costs incurred in connection with the sale of common shares which are offset against the proceeds of the financing upon completion. Costs incurred in connection with convertible loans payable are deferred and amortized as a financing cost over the term of the convertible loans. Upon conversion of the loan, any unamortized amount of deferred financing costs will be charged to stockholders' equity as a cost of financing.

Research and Development Costs

The Company has acquired exclusive development and marketing rights to certain technologies through various license and research agreements as described in Note 4. The rights and licenses acquired are considered rights to unproven technology which may not have alternate future uses and therefore, have been expensed as incurred as research and development costs. Also, ongoing costs incurred in connection with the CRA are considered costs incurred in the development of unproven technology which may not have alternate future uses and therefore, have been expensed as incurred as research and development costs.

Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk

In accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," the Company has determined the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities including cash, prepaid expenses, other receivables, research agreement obligations, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties approximate carrying values due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.

Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

The Company operates and incurs significant expenditures outside of the United States and is exposed to foreign currency risk between the Canadian and U.S dollars and Euros.

51


 

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company's primary operations are located in Canada and its functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The financial statements are presented in United States dollars. In accordance with SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation", foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the transaction date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company monitors the recoverability of long-lived assets, including furniture and equipment, based on estimates using factors such as current market value, future asset utilization, and future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from investment or use of the related assets. The Company's policy is to record any impairment loss in the period when it is determined that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Any impairment loss is calculated as the excess of the carrying value over estimated realizable value. Management has determined that no impairment has occurred during the year ended December 31, 2006.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Loss per Share

The Company computes loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share"", which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options and warrants, using the treasury method. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Stock-based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) ("SFAS No. 123R"), "Share-Based Payment", which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. In January 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, which provides supplemental implementation guidance for SFAS No. 123R. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and instead generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company uses the Black-Sc holes-Merton ("BSM") option-pricing model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards under SFAS No. 123R, consistent with that used for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company has elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS No. 123R and accordingly prior periods have not been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS No. 123R. The modified prospective transition method requires that stock-based compensation expense be recorded for all new and unvested stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase plan shares that are ultimately expected to vest as the requisite service is rendered beginning on January 1, 2006 the first day of the Company's fiscal year 2006. Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair-value as determined under the pro forma provisions of SFAS No. 123.

52


Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company measured compensation expense for its employee stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25. The Company applied the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, as if the fair-value-based method had been applied in measuring compensation expense. Under APB Opinion No. 25, when the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options was equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense was recognized.

There was no stock-based compensation during the years ended December 31, 2006; therefore, no pro-forma presentation of net loss and loss per share is disclosed.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140", to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after Septembe r 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. This standard is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity's first fi scal year beginning after September 15, 2006. This adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements". The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)". This statement requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The implementation of this Statement had n o impact on the Company's reported financial position or results of operations.

53


In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements." SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for periods ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have a material effect on the Company's reported financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 4 - RESEARCH AGREEMENTS

University of British Columbia ("UBC")

Effective September 14, 1999, GPI entered into an Option Agreement ("Option") whereby UBC granted GPI an option to obtain a world-wide license from UBC providing GPI the exclusive license rights to certain patented and unpatented cancer immunotherapy technologies originally invented and developed by UBC. The license will terminate after 15 years or upon the expiration of the last patent obtained relating to the licensed technology. The cost of obtaining any patents will be the responsibility of GPI. The technology remains the property of UBC, however, it may be utilized and improved by GPI. Concurrent with the execution of the license, the head researcher at UBC became a director of GPI.

GPI and UBC entered into a Collaborative Research Agreement ("CRA") dated September 1, 2000 appointing UBC to carry out further development of the licensed technology and providing GPI the option to acquire the rights to commercialize any additional technologies developed within the CRA in consideration for certain funding commitments. Through a series of negotiations and amendments between November 28, 2000 and December 23, 2005 the Company recorded a cumulative unpaid research obligation of $556,533.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company entered in to an exclusive worldwide license agreement with UBC for the use of a novel assay technology intended to be used to screen and select new drugs that regulate immune responses. The term of the license is for the longer of 20 years or the last expiry of a patent obtained in connection with the technology. In consideration for the license, the Company issued to UBC 10,000 restricted shares of common stock with a fair value of $10,000 and must pay an annual maintenance fee of $500 and all costs required to obtain any patents related thereto.

On December 23, 2005, the Company signed a letter of intent with UBC whereby all existing financial claims by UBC (collectively, the "UBC Financial Claims") would be satisfied in consideration of UBC providing GPI with an option to acquire outright all of UBC's right, title and interest in the technologies licensed to GPI. The letter of intent was followed by the completion of a definitive agreement (the "Settlement") on January 24, 2006.

Under the terms of the Settlement the Company was obligated to pay UBC CAN$556,533 as follows:

54


 

(a)       CAN $50,000.00 (paid); and

(b)       CAN $300,000 by March 31, 2006 (paid); and

(c)       CAN $206,533 on or before December 31, 2006; with the understanding that, should the Company complete an aggregate private and/or public financing of CAN $2,000,000 before December 31, 2006, this payment would become immediately due and payable to UBC by the Company within five calendar days of the Company attaining such aggregate financing.

Under the terms of the Settlement, the Company was also obligated to pay any other costs or expenses which may be due and owing by GPI to UBC under the license agreements and the CRA as at the effective date which, in the aggregate, shall not exceed CAN $10,000. The Company also assumed responsibility for the management, maintenance and protection of all patents and patent applications filed in connection with the technology.

In accordance with the terms of Settlement, if the option to purchase is terminated then the Company shall have no right, entitlement or interest, in and to any of the technology, and the payment(s) theretofore made to UBC by the Company shall be non-refundable. In addition, and to the extent that any portion of the UBC Financial Claims under the Settlement have not otherwise been contributed to through any purchase price payment(s) having been made, upon any such termination the Company shall continue to be obligated to UBC for the balance of any such then unsatisfied UBC Financial Claims with interest then accruing thereon at the rate 10% per annum and compounded semi-annually while any portion of the UBC Financial Claims remain outstanding.

On December 18, 2006, the Company and UBC negotiated an extension of the Settlement. Under the terms of the extension, the Company is obligated to pay UBC CAN $216,533 as follows:

(a)       CAN $72,177 on or before December 31, 2006 (paid); and

(b)       CAN $72,178 plus accrued interest of $3,362 on or before March 20, 2007 (subsequently paid); and

(c)       CAN $72,178 plus accrued interest of $1,423 on or before May 31, 2007.

Crucell Holland B.V. ("Crucell") - Research License and Option Agreement

Effective August 7, 2003, Crucell and GPI entered into a five-year research license and option agreement whereby Crucell granted to GPI a non-exclusive worldwide license for the research use of its adenovirus technology. The Company was required to make certain payments over the five-year term totaling €450,000 (approximately $510,100). To December 31, 2003, the Company had made all payments required totaling $115,490 (€100,000). A further $120,697 (€100,000) was incurred during 2004 (not paid), and an additional $126,355 (€100,000) was incurred during 2005, leaving a total of $236,880 (€200,000) owing as at December 31, 2005.

Effective June 6, 2005, Crucell gave the Company notice of default whereby the Company had three months to remedy the unpaid option maintenance payments of $236,880 (€200,000) owing as at December 31, 2005. On November 16, 2005, Crucell provided notice of termination by default due the Company's failure to remedy the default within the required three month period. In May 2006, the Company negotiated a reinstatement of the original research and license option agreement with Crucell and paid Crucell on April 20, 2006 €123,590 (US$151,521) in connection with the reinstatement. Under the revised terms of the agreement, the Company will pay Crucell twelve monthly payments of €10,300 starting May 2006 (paid to October 31, 2006) and a €75,000 annual license fee (adjusted for CPI) in order to keep the reinstated agreement in good standing. At December 31, 2006, $27,188 has been included in research agreement obligations for the Crucell agreement.

55


 

Molecular Medicine BioServices, Inc. ("Molecular Medicine") - Production Service Agreement

Effective March 18, 2003, Molecular Medicine and GMC entered into a production service agreement ("PSA"), as amended on August 29, 2003, whereby Molecular Medicine will produce the clinical vector for delivery of the TAP gene used in the Company's cancer immunotherapy product. The product will incorporate the Crucell vector and the Company's TAP1 gene. Total obligations under the contract are $232,000 payable to Molecular Medicine plus an estimated $110,000 to $145,000 in third-party testing costs. The Company was in breach of its contractual obligations with Molecular Medicine in respect of payment of $15,000 for Phase I of the project. The parties have agreed that advance payments that had been made for subsequent phases could be allocated to the Phase I deficiency so that all payments that were due under the PSA have now been paid in full and the Company has a non-refundable credit of approximately $78,000 with Molecular Medicine to be applied towards future vaccine production. The Company is uncertain to what extent the payments made in advance to Molecular Medicide will be used, and all amounts paid have been expensed in the financial statements.

The Company has obligations under these agreements that expire between April 2007 and May 2007. The aggregate minimum payments for the next five years ending December 31 are as follows:

NOTE 5 -CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

2004 Convertible Notes and Debenture Financing

In 2004, the Company issued two unsecured convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $500,000, that bore interest at 8% per annum and were due twelve months from the date of issue. The holders of the notes were also granted common stock purchase warrants entitling the holder to purchase an additional 416,667 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.66 per share for a period of two years. Further, the Company granted 125,000 common stock purchase warrants with an estimated fair value of $15,000 as a finder's fee entitling the holder to purchase an additional 83,333 and 41,667 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.60 and $0.66 per share, respectively, for a period of two years.

Effective January 31, 2005, the parties agreed to amend the terms of the convertible notes payable to extend the maturity date to April 28, 2006, reduce the conversion price from $0.60 to $0.30 and to reduce the warrant exercise price from $0.66 to $0.30 for the period to December 31, 2005 and to $0.50 for the remainder of the original warrant term. In addition, the term of the warrants will be extended for a period of greater than the original two years, up to a maximum of ten years, dependent on the Company obtaining specified listing status of the Company's common stock as per the amending agreement.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company repaid $300,000 towards the convertible notes, in addition to all interest accrued to the date of the final payment on October 31, 2006. To December 31, 2006, interest expense of $2,674 (2005 - $28,556) is included in accrued expenses on the unpaid principal balance of $200,000.

2006 Convertible Note and Debenture Financing

On March 23, 2006, the Company completed a convertible debenture financing of $494,500 for which the Company has issued convertible promissory notes that bear interest at 8% per annum in the first year and 12% per annum in the second year. If not converted, the notes are due one year from the date of loan advance. The unpaid amount of principal and accrued interest may be converted at any time at the holder's option into shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.10 per convertible unit. Each convertible unit, upon conversion, is comprised of one common share of the Company and, without conversion, one non-transferable and detached share purchase warrant of the Company, which are issuable and exercisable without conversion.

56


 

The warrants forming part of the convertible units are detachable from any conversion and non-transferable, and each such warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company for a period of five years from the date of the issue at an exercise price of $0.10 per share during the first two years, $0.20 per share during the third year, $0.30 per share during the fourth year; and $0.40 per share during the fifth year.

The Company has the right to redeem the convertible promissory notes at any time upon giving certain notice to the holder(s), and subject to paying a 20% premium in cash or shares (based on the previous 30 day average trading price of the Company's shares).

In accordance with EITF 98-5, "Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios", the Company recognized the value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $205,579 as additional paid-in capital as the secured convertible notes were issued with an intrinsic value conversion feature.

In accordance with EITF 00-27, "Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments", the Company has charged to operations $159,329 of the beneficial conversion feature and will recognize the remaining balance of $46,250 in the first quarter of 2007. In addition, the Company allocated the proceeds of issuance between the convertible debt and the detachable warrants based on their relative fair values. Accordingly, the Company recognized the relative fair value of the warrants of $288,921 as a component of stockholders' deficit. The Company will record further interest expense over the term of the secured convertible notes of $64,908 resulting from the difference between the fair value and carrying value at the date of issuance. The carrying value of the convertible notes will be accreted to the face value of $494,500 at maturity. During the year ended December 31, 2006, accrued interest of $30,672 has been included in accrued liabilities, and interest expense of $224,013 has been accreted increasing the carrying value of the convertible debentures to $383,342.

During 2006, the Company received an additional $1,086,000 in subscriptions as part of a second tranche of convertible debenture financing. On November 17, 2006, the Company agreed to the terms of the second tranche of convertible debenture financing, which was completed on February 12, 2007. Upon completion, the Company issued 4,945,000 shares of common stock for the conversion of the 2006 convertible notes (see Note 10).

As part of the second tranche of the convertible debenture financing, the Company will also be required to pay up to a 10% cash and/or 10% in units, which represents one common share of the Company and one non-transferable and detached share purchase warrant, as a finder's fee. Upon conversion of the original convertible debentures the finder's fee will become payable. The amount of the finder's fee, when determined, will be charged to equity as a capital transaction and will offset the conversion proceeds received.

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES

There were no significant temporary differences between the Company's tax and financial bases that result in deferred tax assets, except for the Company's net operating loss carryforwards amounting to approximately $10,800,000 at December 31, 2006 (2005 - $9,900,000) which may be available to reduce future year's taxable income. These carryforwards will expire, if not utilized, commencing in 2008. Management has determined that the realization of the benefits from these deferred tax assets is uncertain due to the Company's limited operating history and continuing losses. Accordingly a full, deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset benefit has been recorded.

The Company's net deferred tax assets are as follows at December 31:

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Convertible Debenture and Private Placement Financing

On February 12, 2007, the Company completed a convertible debenture financing of $1,016,000 for which the Company has issued convertible promissory notes that bear interest at 8% per annum in the first year and 12% per annum in the second year. If not converted, the notes are due one year from the date of loan advance. The unpaid amount of principal and accrued interest may be converted at any time at the holder's option into shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.10 per convertible unit. Each convertible unit, upon conversion, is comprised of one common share of the Company and, without conversion, one non-transferable and detached share purchase warrant of the Company, which are issuable and exercisable without conversion. The warrants forming part of the convertible units are detachable from any conversion and non-transferable, and each such warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company for a period of five years from the date of the issue at an exercise price of $0.10 per share during the first two years, $0.20 per share during the third year, $0.30 per share during the fourth year; and $0.40 per share during the fifth year. The Company has the right to redeem the convertible promissory notes at any time upon giving certain notice to the holder(s), and subject to paying a 20% premium in cash or shares (based on the previous 30 day average trading price of the Company's shares). Subscriptions from this financing totaling $1,086,000 were received prior to December 31, 2006.

Immediately following the completion of the $1,016,000 convertible debenture financing on February 12, 2007, the Company issued the following:

(a)       4,945,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion of the $494,500 convertible debenture financing issued on March 23, 2006,

(b)       10,160,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion of the $1,016,000 convertible debenture financing issued on February 12, 2007, and

 

(c)       4,750,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a private placement financing of 4,750,000 units at a price of $0.10 per unit for gross proceeds of $475,000. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant. Each such warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company for a period of five years from the date of the issue at an exercise price of $0.10 per share during the first two years, $0.20 per share during the third year, $0.30 per share during the fourth year; and $0.40 per share during the fifth year.

Lease Agreement

On March 1, 2007 the Company entered into a five-year lease agreement for laboratory facilities in Vancouver, Canada. The agreement requires monthly payments of $2,671 plus a share of operating costs during the first two years of the term, and monthly payments of $2,820 plus a share of operating costs for the final three years.
