TAPIMMUNE INC.
(formerly GeneMax Corp.)
(a development stage company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2007

(Unaudited)

Note 1:       Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

On May 9, 2002, TapImmune Inc. ("TPIM" 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"). 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 of cancer, and therapies for infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders and transplant tissue rejection.

On June 28, 2007, the Company approved a name change to TapImmune Inc. and completed a reverse stock split by the issuance of one (1) new share for each two and one-half (2.5) outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.

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 September 30, 2007, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $1,339,275, a capital deficiency of $1,320,783 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, satisfying certain debt obligations and ultimately on generating future profitable operations. Significant expenditures relating to future clinical trials of the Company's cancer immunotherapy vaccine will require funding as part of normal product development and advancement. Since internally generated cash flow will 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 clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals, pursuing further patent protections and the timing and costs of commercialization activities.

Management changes occurred in 2006 and management is addressing 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. Management expects to be able to complete restructuring plans and expand programs including entering clinical trials for its lead TAP (Transporters of Antigen Processing) cancer vaccine and infectious disease adjuvant. These measures, if successful, will contribute to reducing the risk of going concern uncertainties for the Company over the next twelve to twenty-four months.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and conform with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). They may not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete annual financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-KSB. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentatio n, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.

Note 2:       Stock-Based Compensation

In 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) ("SFAS No. 123R"), "Share-Based Payment", and elected to adopt the modified prospective transition method. 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 was based on the grant date fair-value as determined under the pro-forma provisions of SFAS No. 123.

The Company recorded $620,015 in stock-based compensation valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and an additional expense of $36,000 from the fair value of stock issued pursuant to a consulting services agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as opposed to $Nil during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 (refer to Notes 5 and 7).

Note 4:       Research Agreements and Commitments

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. 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.

On December 23, 2005, the Company signed a letter of intent with UBC whereby all existing financial claims by UBC 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.

- 9 -


Under the terms of the Settlement the Company was obligated to pay UBC CAN$556,533. 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) previously made to UBC by the Company are 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 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 made the following payments to UBC:

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 included interest at 8% per annum and were due twelve months from the date of issue.

In 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company repaid $133,367 towards the convertible note principal. On July 3, 2007 the Company signed a letter agreement extending the term of the warrants originally issued with the outstanding convertible note for a period of two years or 18 months after effective registration and reduced the conversion price from $1.25 to $0.25. The $24,000 fair value of the warrant repricing and extension was recorded as interest and finance charges and estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with an expected life of 2 years, a risk free interest rate of 5.28%, a dividend yield of 0%, and an expected volatility of 86%.

At September 30, 2007, interest expense of $9,022 (2006 - $47,011) is included in accrued expenses on the unpaid principal balance of $66,633.

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 would be due one year from the date of loan advance. The unpaid amount of principal and accrued interest could 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, 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).

In accordance with EITF 98-5, "Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios", the Company determined and recognized the fair 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.

- 11 -


In accordance with EITF 00-27, "Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments", the Company has charged the beneficial conversion feature to operations. 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 recorded 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 was accreted to the face value of $494,500 at conversion. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 all of the notes were converted at $0.10 per share resulting in the issue of 4,945,000 (pre reverse stock split) shares of the Company's common stock. Additionally, interest expense of $64,908 has b een accreted increasing the carrying value of the convertible debentures to $494,500 immediately prior to the conversion, and accrued interest of $35,333 was reversed as it was relinquished when converted to equity.

2007 Convertible Note and Debenture Financing

On February 12, 2007, the Company completed a convertible debenture financing of $1,016,000 for which the Company 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 would be 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 $0.25 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, 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 is sue at an exercise price of $0.25 per share during the first two years, $0.50 per share during the third year, $0.75 per share during the fourth year; and $1.00 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 $1,016,000 were received prior to December 31, 2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 all of the notes were converted at $0.25 per share resulting in the issue of 4,064,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

As part of this financing, the Company was required to pay 600,000 units, which represents one common share of the Company and one non-transferable and detached share purchase warrant, as a finder's fee (refer to Note 7).

The Company recognized the estimated fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $358,906 as additional paid-in capital as the secured convertible notes were issued with an intrinsic value. In addition, the Company estimated the fair value of the detachable warrants based the Black-Scholes option pricing model with an expected life of 5 years, a risk free interest rate of 5.26%, a dividend yield of 0%, and an expected volatility of 83%. Accordingly, the Company recognized the relative fair value of the warrants of $657,095 as charge to interest and finance charges.

2007 Convertible Promissory Note

On August 31, 2007 the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $200,000 that bears interest at 12% per annum and is due on demand. Upon completion of the conversion terms, 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. The conversion price will be determined by the purchase price of the Company's next stock offering or convertible debt financing. At which time, management will determine whether any beneficial conversion feature exists and may require adjustment to the stated value.

- 12 -


2007 Promissory Note

On July 13, 2007 the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000 which was revised on August 31, 2007 to $125,000. The promissory note matured on September 28, 2007 and bears interest at 12% per annum. As partial consideration for the promissory note, the Company agreed to issue to the Lender, as fully paid and non-assessable, 125,000 non-transferable and registerable share purchase warrants (each a "Warrant"), to acquire an equivalent number of common shares of the Company (each a "Warrant Share"), at an exercise price of $0.30 per Warrant Share and for an exercise period of up to one year from the issuance date. The fair value of the warrants was determined by Management at $18,104 recorded as a warrant issuance obligation. This amount was expensed as interest and finance charges. The fair value was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with an expected life of 1 year, a risk free interest rate of 5.27%, a dividend yield of 0% , and an expected volatility of 125%.

Upon issuance of the warrants, the stock issuance obligation will be settled and charged to additional paid-in capital.

Item 2.        Management's Discussion and Analysis

As used in this Quarterly Report: (i) the terms "we", "us", "our", "TapImmune" and the "Company" mean TapImmune Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, GeneMax Pharmaceuticals Inc. which wholly owns GeneMax Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc., unless the context otherwise requires; (ii) "SEC" refers to the Securities and Exchange Commission; (iii) "Securities Act" refers to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; (iv) "Exchange Act" refers to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and (v) all dollar amounts refer to United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.

The following discussion of our plan of operations, results of operations and financial condition as at and for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and related notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 included in this quarterly report, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Overview

Our Business

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 adeno virus, with the aim of completing our preclinical trials and filing an Investigational Drug Application for cancer in 12-15 months. We are also pursuing vaccine developments for infectious diseases using our TAP gene technology and an in-licensed Modified Vaccinia Ankora virus and other potential targeted vaccine candidates 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, if obtained, would 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 i n-licensing of new technologies or products. In the event that we are able to secure sufficient funding through the issuance of our securities, it is expected that we will expand our management team to include a Director of Corporate 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 us to approximately six.

We anticipate being able to generate funding in the next few years under collaborative arrangements with third parties, government grants, and license fees. We have incurred losses since our inception and expect to incur losses over the next several years. Bringing medical products to commercialization is a lengthy process requiring many years of development and clinical trials during which there are no definable sources of revenue. 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.

University of British Columbia Agreement

We had conducted our research and development at the University of British Columbia ("UBC") under a Collaborative Research Agreement ("CRA"), 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.

- 16 -


In December 2005, we signed a letter of intent with UBC whereby all existing financial claims by UBC would be satisfied in consideration of UBC providing us with an option to acquire outright all of UBC's right title and interest in the technologies licensed to us. The letter of intent was followed by the completion of a definitive agreement on January 24, 2006. Under the terms of the agreement we were obligated to pay UBC $479,975 (CAN$ 556,533).

Under the terms of the agreement, we were also obligated to pay any other costs or expenses which may be due and owing by us to UBC under the license agreements and the CRA as at the effective date which, in the aggregate, shall not exceed $8,598 (CAN$10,000). We also assumed responsibility for the management, maintenance and protection of all patents and patent applications filed in connection with the technology.

On December 18, 2006, we negotiated an extension of the Settlement with UBC. Under the terms of the extension, we made the following payments to UBC:

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

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

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

As of May 31, 2007 we completed our obligation with UBC and the technology assignment and transfer was completed in the current fiscal quarter.

Molecular Medicine Agreement (Molecular Medicine is now SAFC Pharma)

We had 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. Despite the technical difficulties we anticipate a clinical grade TAP based vaccine to be produced utilizing the adeno vector virus vector to allow us to meet its milestones for completing toxicology analysis by the end of 2008. We anticipate commencing chemical grade production of our oncology vaccine in 2008.

We were in breach of our contractual obligations with SAFC Pharma 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 non-refundable credit of approximately $78,000 with SAFC Pharma to be applied towards future vaccine production.

Crucell Agreement

Pursuant to the Research License and Option Agreement Crucell granted us 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 our 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, exclusive of applicable taxes, during the first two years of the agreement, and an annual license maintenance fees of €75,000, exclusive of applicable taxes, starting on the third anniversary until the expiration of the agreement on August 7, 2008. Total obligations under this agreement were €450,000.

To December 31, 2003, we 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. As of the date of this Quarterly Report we had not paid this amount. 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 six months after receipt in writing to the defaulting party. Effective June 6, 2005, Crucell gave us a notice of default whereby we had six months to remedy the default. On November 16, 2005, Crucell provided notice of Termination by Default due to our failure to remedy the default within the required six month period.

In May 2006 we negotiated a reinstatement of the original Research and License Option Agreement with Crucell and paid Crucell €123,590 ($151,521) in connection with the reinstatement. Under the revised terms of the agreement, we 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 September 30, 2007, €136,800 ($194,516) has been included in research agreement obligations for the Crucell agreement. We are currently evaluating the feasibility of using the Crucell cell line as it has been difficult to get the right titre of our vaccine grown on this cell line.

National Institute of Health Agreement

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 was brought to good standing with a payment of $5,000 subsequent to the end of the first quarter.

U.S. Patent Application No. 10/046,542

We are attempting to broaden our U.S. patent coverage to extend to other procedures of utilizing the TAP gene immune response technology in destroying tumor cells, and to treatment of viral infections, through additional patent application filings (continuations). We have applied for additional U.S. patents, most importantly, U.S. Pat. Appln. No. 10/046,542 that describes a method refining and expanding the process patented in U.S. Patent 6,361,770, above. U.S. Pat. Appln 10/046,542 is considered a key patent application for us, as it describes a preferable delivery method for the TAP gene sequences and serves as the basis for further expansion of our technology.

In the normal course of business, we initiated an independent audit of our intellectual property in September 2007. The audit was completed in October, 2007. As a result of the audit, it has come to light that procedural errors of outside third party professionals retained for patent expertise resulted in the abandonment of the patent application (No. 10/046,542) and an incomplete subsequent petition of revival. We are using expeditious and diligent efforts to rectify the situation, and pursuant thereto, on October 25, 2007, we, through expert replacement counsel, filed a substitute petition for revival, in accordance with the recommendations of the audit.

Our Financial Condition

During the next 12 months we anticipate that we will not generate any revenue. We had cash of $132,053 and a working capital deficit of $1,320,783 at September 30, 2007. We will require significant additional financial resources and will be dependant on future financings to fund our ongoing research and development as well as other working capital requirements.

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 on various technologies, anticipated toxicology, Phase I clinical trials for the TAP Cancer Vaccine, and for various operating expenses.

We have not generated any revenue based cash flow to fund our operations and activities due primarily to the nature of lengthy product development cycles that are normal to the biotech industry. Therefore, we must raise additional funds in the future to continue operations. We intend to finance our operating expenses with further issuances of common stock. Management believes that anticipated future private placements of equity capital and debt financing, if successful, may be adequate to fund our operations over the next twenty-four months. Management expects we will need to raise additional capital to meet long-term operating requirements. Our future success and viability are dependent on our 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 terms, we may not be able to c onduct our proposed business operations successfully which could significantly and materially restrict or delay our overall business operations.

Results of Operations

Revenues:

- 18 -


We did not earn any interest or other revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2007 or over the same period ended September 30, 2006. We did not maintain any interest bearing deposits during the current fiscal year.

Operating Expenses:

Our general and administrative expenses increased to $550,739 during the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $472,264 over the same period ended September 30, 2006. Significant changes in operating expenses are outlined as follows:

  • Consulting fees decreased to $7,322 during the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $77,451 over the same period ended September 30, 2006 due primarily to a corporate development services agreement not effect during the current period.

  • Interest and finance charges decreased to $48,359 during the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $143,677 during the same period ended September 30, 2006. Current period interest charges are primarily the fair value of warrants issuable with a new promissory note and the repricing and extension of warrants issued with the 2004 convertible notes. Prior period interest charges were due to amortization of charges relating to the 2006 convertible debt not in effect during the current period.
  • Management fees decreased to $63,611 during the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $90,822 during the same period ended September 30, 2006 due primarily to charges associated with implementing new agreements with our current Board members and Officers during the prior period.
  • Office and general expenses increase to $91,488 during the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $6,117 during the same period ended September 30, 2006 due primarily to additional development and communication services during the current period.
  • Professional fees increased to $125,863 during the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $32,791 during the same period ended September 30, 2006 due to significant activity relating to the finalization of the UBC commitment, financing proposals, share restructuring and debt conversion in the current year.

Net Loss:

Our net loss increased to $550,739 during the three months ended September 30, 2007, from $472,264 over the same period ended September 30, 2006. The increase resulted primarily from stock based consulting fees and increases in office expenditures and professional fees, which was partially offset by reductions consulting fees and interest and financing charges.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Revenues:

We did not earn any interest or other revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 or over the same period ended September 30, 2006. We did not maintain any interest bearing deposits during the current fiscal year.

Operating Expenses:

Our general and administrative expenses increased to $2,780,428 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $921,969 over the same period ended September 30, 2006. Significant changes in operating expenses are outlined as follows:

- 19 -


  • Consulting fees decreased to $66,629 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $81,026 during the same period ended September 30, 2006 due primarily to a corporate development services agreement which expired during the current fiscal period.
  • Consulting fees - stock-based increased to $200,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $Nil during the same period ended September 30, 2006. We issued options to certain officers, directors and consultants during the current year in addition to charges relating to a stock issuance obligation pursuant to a web services agreement, and did not record any stock-based compensation in the prior year.
  • Interest and finance charges increased to $1,149,754 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $338,117 during the same period ended September 30, 2006 due to accrued interest, accretion of the discount on the 2006 convertible debt, amortization of the fair value of warrants on the 2006 convertible debt, $1,016,000 in costs classified as interest charges resulting from conversion of the debt, and the fair value of warrants issuable with a new promissory note signed during the current period. The $1,016,000 non-monetary charge relates to the unaccreted fair value of the beneficial conversion feature and warrants on the 2007 convertible debt. Once the debt was converted, the unaccreted charge was required to be recognized immediately.
  • Gain on settlement of debt decreased to $Nil during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $30,461 during the same period ended September 30, 2006 as no gain or loss was realized on the settlement of debt during the current period.

  • Office and general expenses increase to $123,250 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $27,408 during the same period ended September 30, 2006 due primarily to additional development and communication services during the current period.
  • Professional fees increased to $281,197 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $154,788 during the same period ended September 30, 2006 due to significant activity relating to the finalization of the UBC commitment, financing proposals, share restructuring and debt conversion in the current year.

Net Loss:

Our net loss increased to $2,780,428 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, from $921,969 over the same period ended September 30, 2006. The increase resulted primarily from interest and finance charges on convertible notes, professional fees, research and development costs, and stock-based compensation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2007, we had $132,053 in cash. Generally, we have financed our operations through the proceeds from convertible notes and the private placement of equity securities. We gained $11,617 net cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $594,744 compared to $871,431 during the same period ended September 30, 2006.

- 20 -


Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $22,426 compared to $Nil during the same period ended September 30, 2006. Investing activities consisted primarily of furniture and equipment acquisitions.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $649,134, compared to $1,180,500 during the same period ended September 30, 2006. During the current fiscal year, we received net proceeds of $475,001 related to private placement financings completed on February 12, 2007 and June 8, 2007, $200,000 related to a convertible promissory note and $125,000 related to a promissory note due on demand. We also repaid $133,367 towards an outstanding convertible note during the current fiscal year.

At September 30, 2007, we had 6,320,000 stock options and 8,922,000 share purchase warrants outstanding. The outstanding stock options had a weighted average exercise price of $0.25 per share. The outstanding warrants had a weighted average exercise price of $0.25 per share. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2007, the outstanding options and warrants represented a total of 15,242,000 shares issuable for proceeds of approximately $3,810,500 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 September 30, 2007, we anticipate that we will need significant financing to enable us to meet our anticipated expenditures for the next 24 months, which are expected to be in the range of $5,000,000 assuming a single Phase 1 clinical trial.

We have not generated any cash flow to fund our operations and activities due primarily to the nature of lengthy product development cycles that are normal to the biotech industry. Therefore, we must raise additional funds in the future to continue operations. We intend to finance our operating expenses with further issuances of common stock. We believe that anticipated future private placements of equity capital and debt financing, if successful, may be adequate to fund our operations over the next twenty-four months. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise additional capital to meet long-term operating requirements. Our future success and viability are dependent on our ability to raise additional capital through further private offerings of our stock or loans from private investors. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to conduct our proposed business operations s uccessfully. This could significantly and materially restrict or delay our overall business operations.

Going Concern

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we 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 we 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 intend to finance our anticipated operating expenses with further issuances of common stock through private placement offerings or loans from private investors. We will be unable to continue as a going concern if we are unable to obtain sufficient financing.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

- 21 -


We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Preparation of our 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, future income tax pools and balances and the useful life of depreciable assets.

Furniture and Equipment

Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed at the following rates over the estimated useful lives of the assets: Office furniture and equipment - 60 months straight-line; Laboratory equipment - 36 months straight-line; Computer equipment - 24 months straight line.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

Stock-Based Compensation

In 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) ("SFAS No. 123R"), "Share-Based Payment", and elected to adopt the modified prospective transition method. 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 our 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

None.

Item 3.        Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation and subject to inherent limitations noted below, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as at the end of the period covered by this quarterly report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

- 22 -


Disclosure controls and procedures have inherent limitations relative to the financial resources of a Company and the number of personnel. The disclosures controls and procedures may not prevent all error and fraud in the Company's financial reporting. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated,  can provide only reasonable, but not absolute,  assurance  that the  objectives  of a control  system are met. Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources, and the benefits of a control system must be considered  relative to its costs. These limitations also include the realities that judgments in  decision-making  can be faulty and that  breakdowns  can occur  because of simple  error or mistake.  Additionally, controls  can be  circumvented  by the  individual  acts  of some  persons,  by collusion of two or more people or by management override of a control. A design of a control system is also  based upon  certain  assumptions  about  potential future conditions;  over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,  or the degree of compliance  with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Because of the inherent  limitations in a  cost-effective  control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent quarterly period that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Article 7
INDEMNIFICATION AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

7.1                  Indemnification. The Parties hereto hereby each agree to indemnify and save harmless the other Party hereto and including, where applicable, their respective subsidiaries and affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, Executives and agents (each such party being an "Indemnified Party") harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, liabilities or expenses of whatever nature or kind and including, without limitation, any investigation expenses incurred by any Indemnified Party, to which an Indemnified Party may become subject by reason of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

7.2                  No indemnification. This indemnity will not apply in respect of an Indemnified Party in the event and to the extent that a Court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment shall determine that the Indemnified Party was grossly negligent or guilty of willful misconduct.

7.3                  Claim of indemnification. The Parties hereto agree to waive any right they might have of first requiring the Indemnified Party to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy, security or claim payment from any other person before claiming this indemnity.

In case any action is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought against either of the Parties hereto, the Indemnified Party will give both Parties hereto prompt written notice of any such action of which the Indemnified Party has knowledge and the relevant Party will undertake the investigation and defense thereof on behalf of the Indemnified Party, including the prompt employment of counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party affected and the relevant Party and the payment of all expenses. Failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify shall not relieve the relevant Party of such relevant Party's obligation of indemnification hereunder unless (and only to the extent that) such failure results in a forfeiture by the relevant Party of substantive rights or def enses.

7.5                  Settlement. No admission of liability and no settlement of any action shall be made without the consent of each of the Parties hereto and the consent of the Indemnified Party affected, such consent not to be unreasonable withheld.

(a)        such counsel has been authorized by the relevant Party;

(b)        the relevant Party has not assumed the defense of the action within a reasonable period of time after receiving notice of the action;


- 14 -

(c)        the named parties to any such action include that any Party hereto and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between any Party hereto and the Indemnified Party; or

(d)        there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to any Party hereto.

7.7                  Contribution. If for any reason other than the gross negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party being the primary cause of the loss claim, damage, liability, cost or expense, the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold them harmless, the relevant Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of any and all such losses, claim, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the relevant Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other, but also the relative fault of relevant Party and the Indemnified Party and other equitable considerations which may be relevant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relevant Party shall in any event contribute to the amount paid or p ayable by the Indemnified Party, as a result of the loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense (other than a loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expenses, the primary cause of which is the gross negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party), any excess of such amount over the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Party hereunder.

(i)         there is then in effect a "Registration Statement" under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said Registration Statement; or

(ii)        (A) the Executive shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, (B) the Executive shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of the Executive's own counsel to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of any such Option Shares under the Securities Act and (C) such opinion of the Executive's counsel shall have been concurred in by counsel for the Company and the Company shall have advised the Executive of such concurrence; and

(d)         Payment for any Option Shares: it is hereby further acknowledged and agreed that, during the continuance of this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to exercise any Option granted hereunder and pay for the same by way of the prior agreement of the Executive, in the Executive's sole and absolute discretion, and with the prior knowledge of the Company, to settle any indebtedness which may be due and owing by the Company under this Agreement in payment for the exercise price of any Option Shares acquired thereunder. In this regard, and subject to further discussion as between the Company and the Executive, together with the prior approval of the Board of Directors of the Company and the establishment by the Company of a new Option Plan predicated upon the same, it is envisioned that, when the Company is in a position to afford the same, the Company may adopt certain additional "cashless exercise" provisions respecting the gr anting and exercise of incentive stock options during the continuance of this Agreement.

- 14 -

7.2                 No indemnification. This indemnity will not apply in respect of an Indemnified Party in the event and to the extent that a Court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment shall determine that the Indemnified Party was grossly negligent or guilty of willful misconduct.

Failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify shall not relieve the relevant Party of such relevant Party's obligation of indemnification hereunder unless (and only to the extent that) such failure results in a forfeiture by the relevant Party of substantive rights or defenses.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relevant Party shall in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party, as a result of the loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense (other than a loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expenses, the primary cause of which is the gross negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party), any excess of such amount over the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Party hereunder.

In this regard the Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that the Form S-8 Registration Statement remains effective as long as such Options are outstanding, and the Executive fully understands and acknowledges that these Option Shares will be issued in reliance upon the exemption afforded under the Form S-8 Registration Statement which is available only if the Executive acquires such Option Shares for investment and not with a view to distribution. The Executive is familiar with the phrase "acquired for investment and not with a view to distribution" as it relates to the Securities Act and the special meaning given to such term in various releases of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC");

(b)         Section 16 compliance: the Company shall ensure that all grants of Options are made to ensure compliance with all applicable provisions of the exemption afforded under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall have an independent committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approve each grant of Options to the Executive and, if required, by the applicable Regulatory Authorities and the shareholders of the Company. The Company shall file, on behalf of the Executive, all reports required to filed with the SEC pursuant to the requirements of Section 16(a) under the Exchange Act and applicable rules and regulations;

(c)         Disposition of any Option Shares: the Executive further acknowledges and understands that, without in anyway limiting the acknowledgements and understandings as set forth hereinabove, the Executive agrees that the Executive shall in no event make any disposition of all or any portion of the Option Shares which the Executive may acquire hereunder unless and until:

(i)         there is then in effect a "Registration Statement" under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said Registration Statement; or

(ii)        (A) the Executive shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, (B) the Executive shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of the Executive's own counsel to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of any such Option Shares under the Securities Act and (C) such opinion of the Executive's counsel shall have been concurred in by counsel for the Company and the Company shall have advised the Executive of such concurrence; and

(d)         Payment for any Option Shares: it is hereby further acknowledged and agreed that, during the continuance of this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to exercise any Option granted hereunder and pay for the same by way of the prior agreement of the Executive, in the Executive's sole and absolute discretion, and with the prior knowledge of the Company, to settle any indebtedness which may be due and owing by the Company under this Agreement in payment for the exercise price of any Option Shares acquired thereunder. In this regard, and subject to further discussion as between the Company and the Executive, together with the prior approval of the Board of Directors of the Company and the establishment by the Company of a new Option Plan predicated upon the same, it is envisioned that, when the Company is in a position to afford the same, the Company may adopt certain additional "cashless exercise" provisions respecting the gr anting and exercise of incentive stock options during the continuance of this Agreement.

4.9                 Benefits. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that, during the continuance of this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to participate fully in each of the Company's respective medical services plans and management and employee benefits program(s) (collectively, the "Benefits").

5.2                 Opinions, reports and advice of the Executive. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that all written and oral opinions, reports, advice and materials provided by the Executive to the Company in connection with the Executive's engagement hereunder are intended solely for the Company's benefit and for the Company's uses only, and that any such written and oral opinions, reports, advice and information are the exclusive property of the Company. In this regard the Executive covenants and agrees that the Company may utilize any such opinion, report, advice and materials for any other purpose whatsoever and, furthermore, may reproduce, disseminate, quote from and refer to, in whole or in part, at any time and in any manner, any such opinion, report, advice and materials in the Company's sole and absolute discretion.

In any such event the Executive's ongoing obligation to provide the General Services will continue only until the Effective Termination Date and the Company shall continue to pay to the Executive all of the amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under Article "4" hereinabove until the Effective Termination. In the event of any debate or dispute as to the reasonableness of the Board of Direc tors' request or requirements, the judgment of the Board of Directors shall be deemed correct until such time as the matter has been determined by arbitration in accordance with Article "9" hereinbelow.


- 11 -

5.4                 Right of ownership to the business and related Property. The Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that any and all Company Business interests, together with any products or improvements derived therefrom and any trade marks or trade names used in connection with the same (collectively, the "Property"), are wholly owned and controlled by the Company. Correspondingly, neither this Agreement, nor the operation of the business contemplated by this Agreement, confers or shall be deemed to confer upon the Executive any interest whatsoever in and to any of the Property. In this regard the Executive hereby further covenants and agrees not to, during or after the Initial Term and the continuance of this Agreement, contest the title to any of the Property interests, in any way dispute or impugn the validity of the Property interests or take any action to the detriment of the Company's interests therein. The Executive acknowledges that, by reason of the unique nature of the Property interests, and by reason of the Executive's knowledge of and association with the Property interests during the Initial Term and during the continuance of this Agreement, the aforesaid covenant, both during the Initial Term of this Agreement and thereafter, is reasonable and commensurate for the protection of the legitimate business interests of the Company. As a final note, the Executive hereby further covenants and agrees to immediately notify the Company of any infringement of or challenge to the any of the Property interests as soon as the Executive becomes aware of the infringement or challenge.

                       In addition, and for even greater certainty, the Executive hereby assigns to the Company the entire right, title and interest throughout the world in and to all work performed, writings, formulas, designs, models, drawings, photographs, design inventions, and other inventions, made, conceived, or reduced to practice or authored by the Executive or the Executive's employees, either solely or jointly with others, during the performance of this Agreement, or which are made, conceived, or reduced to practice, or authored with the use of information or materials of the Company either received or used by the Executive during the performance of this Agreement or any extension or renewal thereof. The Executive shall promptly disclose to the Company all works, writings, formulas, designs, models, photographs, drawings, design inventions and other inventions made, conceived or reduced to practice, or authored by the Executive or the Executive's employees as set forth above. The Executive shall sign, execute and acknowledge, or cause to be signed, executed and acknowledged without cost to Company or its nominees, patent, trademark or copyright protection throughout the world upon all such works, writings, formulas, designs, models, drawings, photographs, design inventions and other inventions; title to which the Company acquires in accordance with the provisions of this section. The Executive has acquired or shall acquire from each of the Executive's employees, if any, the necessary rights to all such works, writings, formulas, designs, models, drawings, photographs, design inventions and other inventions made by such employees within the scope of their employment by the Executive in performing the General Services under this Agreement. The Executive shall obtain the cooperation of each such employee to secure to the Company or its nomine es the rights to such works, writings, formulas, designs, models, drawings, photographs, design inventions and other inventions as the Company may acquire in accordance with the provisions of this section.

For the purposes of the foregoing the Parties hereby recognize and agree that a breach a Party of any of the covenants herein contained would result in irreparabl e harm and significant damage to the other Party that would not be adequately compensated for by monetary award. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that, in the event of any such breach, in addition to being entitled as a matter of right to apply to a Court of competent equitable jurisdiction for relief by way of restraining order, injunction, decree or otherwise as may be appropriate to ensure compliance with the provisions hereof, a Party will also be liable to the other Party hereto, as liquidated damages, for an amount equal to the amount received and earned by that Party as a result of and with respect to any such breach.

7.2                 No indemnification. This indemnity will not apply in respect of an Indemnified Party in the event and to the extent that a Court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment shall determine that the Indemnified Party was grossly negligent or guilty of willful misconduct.

7.3                 Claim of indemnification. The Parties hereto agree to waive any right they might have of first requiring the Indemnified Party to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy, security or claim payment from any other person before claiming this indemnity.

7.4                 Notice of claim. In case any action is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought against either of the Parties hereto, the Indemnified Party will give both Parties hereto prompt written notice of any such action of which the Indemnified Party has knowledge and the relevant Party will undertake the investigation and defense thereof on behalf of the Indemnified Party, including the prompt employment of counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party affected and the relevant Party and the payment of all expenses. Failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify shall not relieve the relevant Party of such relevant Party's obligation of indemnification hereunder unless (and only to the extent that) such failure results in a forfeiture by the relevant Party of substantive rights or defenses.

7.5                 Settlement. No admission of liability and no settlement of any action shall be made without the consent of each of the Parties hereto and the consent of the Indemnified Party affected, such consent not to be unreasonable withheld.

(b)         the relevant Party has not assumed the defense of the action within a reasonable period of time after receiving notice of the action;


- 14 -

(c)         the named parties to any such action include that any Party hereto and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between any Party hereto and the Indemnified Party; or

(d)         there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to any Party hereto.

7.7                 Contribution. If for any reason other than the gross negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party being the primary cause of the loss claim, damage, liability, cost or expense, the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold them harmless, the relevant Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of any and all such losses, claim, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the relevant Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other, but also the relative fault of relevant Party and the Indemnified Party and other equitable considerations which may be relevant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relevant Party shall in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party, as a result of the loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense (other than a loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expenses, the primary cause of which is the gross negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party), any excess of such amount over the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Party hereunder.

For the purposes of the foregoing the Parties hereby recognize and agree that a breach a Party of any of the covenants herein contained would result in irreparable harm and significant damage to the other Party that would not be adequately compensated for by monetary award. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that, in the event of any such breach, in addition to being entitled as a matter of right to apply to a Court of competent equitable jurisdiction for relief by way of restraining order, injunction, decree or otherwise as may be appropriate to ensure compliance with the provisions hereof, a Party will also be liable to the other Party hereto, as liquidated damages, for an amount equal to the amount received and earned by that Party as a result of and with respect to any such breach. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that if any of the aforesaid restrictions, activities, obligations or periods are considered by a Court of competent jurisdiction as being unreasonable, the Parties agree that said Court shall have authority to limit such restrictions, activities or periods as the Court deems proper in the circumstances. In addition, the Parties further acknowledge and agree that all restrictions or obligations in this Agreement are necessary and fundamental to the protection of their respective business interests and are reasonable and valid, and all defenses to the strict enforcement thereof by the Parties are hereby waived.

6.2                  Confidentiality. Each Party will not, except as authorized or required by its respective duties and obligations hereunder, reveal or divulge to any person, company or entity any information concerning the respective organization, business, finances, transactions or other affairs of the other Party hereto, or of any of the other Party's respective subsidiaries, which may come to the Party's knowledge during the continuance of this Agreement, and each Party will keep in complete secrecy all confidential information entrusted to the Party and will not use or attempt to use any such information in any manner which may injure or cause loss either directly or indirectly to the other Party's respective business interests. This restriction will continue to apply after the termination of this Agreement without limit in point of time but will cease to apply to information or knowledge which may come into the public domain.


- 13 -

6.3                  Compliance with applicable laws. Each Party will comply with all U.S., Canadian and foreign laws, whether federal, provincial or state, applicable to its respective duties and obligations hereunder and, in addition, hereby represents and warrants that any information which the Party may provide to any person or company hereunder will, to the best of the Party's knowledge, information and belief, be accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading, and will not omit to state any fact or information which would be material to such person or company.

 

Article 7
INDEMNIFICATION AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

7.1                  Indemnification. The Parties hereto hereby each agree to indemnify and save harmless the other Party hereto and including, where applicable, their respective subsidiaries and affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, Consultants and agents (each such party being an "Indemnified Party") harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, liabilities or expenses of whatever nature or kind and including, without limitation, any investigation expenses incurred by any Indemnified Party, to which an Indemnified Party may become subject by reason of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

7.2                  No indemnification. This indemnity will not apply in respect of an Indemnified Party in the event and to the extent that a Court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment shall determine that the Indemnified Party was grossly negligent or guilty of willful misconduct.

7.3                  Claim of indemnification. The Parties hereto agree to waive any right they might have of first requiring the Indemnified Party to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy, security or claim payment from any other person before claiming this indemnity.

7.4                  Notice of claim. In case any action is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought against either of the Parties hereto, the Indemnified Party will give both Parties hereto prompt written notice of any such action of which the Indemnified Party has knowledge and the relevant Party will undertake the investigation and defense thereof on behalf of the Indemnified Party, including the prompt employment of counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party affected and the relevant Party and the payment of all expenses. Failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify shall not relieve the relevant Party of such relevant Party's obligation of indemnification hereunder unless (and only to the extent that) such failure results in a forfeiture by the relevant Party of substantive rights or defenses.

7.5                  Settlement. No admission of liability and no settlement of any action shall be made without the consent of each of the Parties hereto and the consent of the Indemnified Party affected, such consent not to be unreasonable withheld.

7.6                  Legal proceedings. Notwithstanding that the relevant Party will undertake the investigation and defense of any action, an Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless:


- 14 -

(a)         such counsel has been authorized by the relevant Party;

(b)         the relevant Party has not assumed the defense of the action within a reasonable period of time after receiving notice of the action;

(c)         the named parties to any such action include that any Party hereto and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between any Party hereto and the Indemnified Party; or

(d)         there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to any Party hereto.

7.7                  Contribution. If for any reason other than the gross negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party being the primary cause of the loss claim, damage, liability, cost or expense, the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold them harmless, the relevant Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of any and all such losses, claim, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the relevant Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other, but also the relative fault of relevant Party and the Indemnified Party and other equitable considerations which may be relevant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relevant Party shall in any event contribute to the amount paid or p ayable by the Indemnified Party, as a result of the loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense (other than a loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expenses, the primary cause of which is the gross negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party), any excess of such amount over the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Party hereunder.

 

Article 8

8.2                  Notice. A Party shall within three calendar days give notice to the other Party of each event of force majeure under section "8.1" hereinabove, and upon cessation of such event shall furnish the other Party with notice of that event together with particulars of the number of days by which the obligations of that Party hereunder have been extended by virtue of such event of force majeure and all preceding events of force majeure.

 

Article 9
ARBITRATION

9.1                  Matters for arbitration. Except for matters of indemnity or in the case of urgency to prevent material harm to a substantive right or asset, the Parties agree that all questions or matters in dispute with respect to this Agreement shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to the terms hereof. This provision shall not prejudice a Party from seeking a Court order or assistance to garnish or secure sums or to seek summary remedy for such matters as counsel may consider amenable to summary proceedings.

9.2                  Notice. It shall be a condition precedent to the right of any Party to submit any matter to arbitration pursuant to the provisions hereof that any Party intending to refer any matter to arbitration shall have given not less than five business days' prior written notice of its intention to do so to the other Parties together with particulars of the matter in dispute.

Except as specifically otherwise provided in this section, the arbitration herein provided for shall be conducted in accordance with such Arbitration Act. The chairperson, or in the case where only one arbitrator is appointed, the single arbitrator, shall fix a time and place for the purpose of hearing the evidence and representations of the Parties, and the chairperson shall preside over the arbitration and determine all questions of procedure not provided for by the Arbitration Act or this section. After hearing any evidence and representations that the Parties may submit, the single arbitrator, or the arbitrators, as the case may be, shall make an award and reduce the same to writing, and deliver one copy thereof to each of the Parties. The expense of the arbitration shall be paid as specified in the award.

9.4                  Award. The Parties agree that the award of a majority of the arbitrators, or in the case of a single arbitrator, of such arbitrator, shall be final and binding upon each of them.
