PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Company Overview

We are 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. We currently have none of our product candidates on the market and are focusing on the development and testing of our 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 more than 600,000 deaths from cancer annually, second only to cardiovascular deaths and the ACS estimates over 1.4 million new diagnosis will be made this year

Company History

We currently trade on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “TPIM”.

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in 1991 under the name “Ward’s Futura Automotive Ltd”. We changed our name a number of times since 1991 and, in July 2002, we completed the acquisition of GeneMax Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“GeneMax Pharmaceuticals”), a Delaware corporation, in a reverse merger and changed our 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 Corp. GeneMax Pharmaceuticals is now a wholly owned subsidiary of TapImmune, and GeneMax Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc. (“GPCanada”), a British Columbia corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary of GeneMax Pharmaceuticals. On June 28, 2007, we approved a name change to TapImmune Inc.

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.

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 TapImmune 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 therapies, since restoring the TAP protein will direct the immune system to specifically target the cancerous cells without damaging healthy tissue.

TapImmune’s Target Market and Strategy

With the required funding in place, we will pursue product development in oncology. With additional funding and the possible collaboration of other vaccine companies we will also pursue product development in our adjuvant for prophylactic vaccines. The initial development process is the same for both therapeutic and prophylactic vaccines, so some parallel development will take place. 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 $6 billion by 2010, 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 prophylactic vaccine adjuvant will improve the creation of new vaccines and enhance the efficacy of current vaccines. It will be a key business development strategy to pursue partnerships and joint research and development ventures with vaccine manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies to bring new and improved vaccines to market. The market for prophylactic vaccines is around $6 Billion and is expected to reach $11 Billion in 2010 (Frost & Sullivan). Management believes that our adjuvant will increase the potency of many of the currently available vaccines and lead to the creation of better, more effective new vaccines, thereby allowing us to participate in this large market through novel new products and in combination with existing vaccines.

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 us to pursue our own internal product development while positioning us to enter into multiple partnerships and licensing agreements. We previously produced, and still plan to produce in the future, our TAP vaccines by inserting the TAP gene material into a proprietary, modified adeno virus licensed from Crucell Holland B.V. (“Crucell”) or a generic HEK293 adenovirus, and it will and has been used as the prototype vaccine product for performing in-vitro immunological and animal preclinical studies. We have an opportunity to take advantage of our potential partners’ capabilities while reducing our overhead costs. Our relationship with the University of British Columbia (“UBC”) allowed us to conduct contract research and development by employing highly skilled scientists at UBC. The research and development team performed the basic research on the biological function of TAP and related licensed technology as well as preclinical animal studies in cancer and infectious diseases. Moving into the development phase, we will initiate our contract with SAFC Pharma (Sigma Aldrich), for the production of clinical grade vaccine product to be used in preclinical and clinical studies that require production facilities with Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”) and Good Laboratory Practices (“GLP”) certification.

Products and Technology in Development

TAP Cancer Vaccine

We previously developed our 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 similar to the small-cell lung cancer studies described above were performed and similar results were achieved.

Pre-Clinical Testing

We have completed small animal pre-clinical animal testing of our 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 (now dormant until funding is restored) 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 SAFC Pharma, a GMP manufacturer, for subsequent production of the TAP Cancer Vaccine. We have 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.

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 second half of 2010 or early 2011 depending how quickly funding is in place. The Phase I human clinical trials will be designed to provide data on the safety of the TAP Cancer Vaccine when used in humans. We may conduct the Phase I human clinical trials at the British Columbia Cancer Agency in Vancouver, British Columbia, or other locations to be evaluated. These trials will be conducted in respect of certain carcinomas. We have 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.

Infectious Disease Application for “TAP” Adjuvant

Beyond the TAP cancer vaccine, TapImmune plans to develop or license out our technology for the creation of enhanced viral vaccines, such as for smallpox and others, based on our findings that TAP can augment immune responses. We have presented data showing that increasing TAP expression in TAP-competent antigen presenting cells (APCs) and/or virus infected cells increases the antigenic peptide associated with MHC class I expression on the cell surface, and leads to increased specific T cell-mediated immune responses. We believe this technology can add great value to the creation of new vaccines and enhance those that already exist.

Future Products and Technology

Peptide Transfer Assay

Depending on resources and funding, we may also 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 us. This technology is not currently a focus for development.

Screen for Regulators of Antigenicity

We recently acquired via our agreement with UBC a 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. This technology is of interest but will only be developed after successful development of the cancer and prophylactic vaccines.

Strategic Relationships

UBC

Collaborative Research Agreement

In September of 2000, through our wholly owned subsidiaries, GeneMax Pharmaceuticals and GeneMax Canada, entered into a Collaborative Research Agreement with 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 us 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). In addition, we reimbursed UBC a total of $55,812 (CDN) of patent expenditures in connection with technologies licensed to us.

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 us with access to university laboratories and equipment at UBC.

License Agreement

In March of 2000, we entered into a license agreement with UBC and Dr. Wilfred A. Jefferies, then our Chief Scientific Officer and a director, which is referred to in this Annual Report as the License Agreement, providing us with an exclusive world-wide license to use certain technology developed by UBC and Dr. Jefferies. The License Agreement allowed us 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 we paid an initial license fee of $113,627 (CDN) and issued 500,000 GeneMax Pharmaceutical shares to the University of British Columbia; which were subsequently exchanged for 200,000 shares of our restricted common stock.

On February 16, 2004, UBC granted us an exclusive, worldwide license to use a novel assay technology to screen and select new drugs that regulate immune responses. As consideration for entering into this license, which we refer to in this Annual Report as the “Immune Response License”, we issued UBC 4,000 shares of our common stock and were 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.

Option and Settlement Agreements

On January 24, 2006, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of a certain Option and Settlement Agreement (the “Option and Settlement Agreement”), dated for reference January 23, 2006, as entered among each of us, UBC, Dr. Jefferies and each of our predecessor and subsidiary companies, GeneMax Pharmaceuticals and GPCanada, the parties thereto reached a definitive agreement pursuant to which all existing financial claims by UBC (collectively, the “UBC Financial Claims”) as against us under each of those certain “License Agreement” among us, UBC and Dr. Jefferies dated March 6, 2000, as amended February 28, 2003 (“License Agreement #1”), and “License Agreement” between us and UBC dated February 16, 2004 (“License Agreement #2” and, collectively, the “License Agreements”), and under that certain “Collaborative Research Agreement” between UBC and GPCanada dated May 6, 2005 (the “CRA”), are satisfied (the “Settlement”) in consideration of UBC providing us with the consequent right to acquire, outright, by way of assignment (the “Option to Purchase”), all of UBC’s right title and interest in the technologies licensed to us under the terms of the License Agreements, including the “Technology” as that term is defined in the License Agreements, and all “Improvements” made prior to the date of execution of the Option and Settlement Agreement in furtherance of the same (collectively, the “Technology” thereunder).

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Option and Settlement Agreement, and in order to keep the right and Option to Purchase the Technology granted to us by UBC in good standing and in force and effect; and in order to maintain the Settlement of all UBC Financial Claims consequent therein; we were obligated to provide cash payment (“Purchase Price Payment”) and to maintain the current status of UBC’s existing patent and patent pending applications respecting the Technology (the “Purchase Price Patent Obligations”; and the Purchase Price Payments and the Purchase Price Patent Obligations being, collectively, the “Purchase Price”) to the order and direction of UBC 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”), and in due complete satisfaction of the settlement of the UBC Financial Claims.

The Option and Settlement Agreement replaced our previously disclosed (by way of Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 23, 2005) “Letter of Intent” as previously entered into between us and UBC.

On December 18, 2006, we negotiated an extension with UBC of the January 24, 2006 Option and Settlement Agreement. Under the terms of the extension we were 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; (paid); and

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

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

Crucell

On August 7, 2003, we entered into an agreement with Crucell, which we refer to in this Annual Report as the “Research License and Option Agreement”. Pursuant to that 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 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 were 450,000 Euros.

To December 31, 2005, 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 $60,864 (€ 50,000) was due and payable on February7, 2004 and a further $60,103 (€ 50,000) was due and payable on August 7, 2004 leaving $120,967 owing as of December31, 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 us notice of default whereby we had three 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 three month period.

In May of 2006, we 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, we agreed to pay Crucell 12 monthly payments of €10,300 starting May 2006 (paid to October 31, 2006 as of December 31, 2008) and a €75,000 annual license fee (not paid as of December 31, 2008) in order to keep the reinstated agreement in good standing. In January, 2008 we paid $40,000 to the outstanding balance of €184,484, and are currently working with Crucell to maintain our license and relationship as well as reaching a new payment schedule for the outstanding fees. At the date of our annual report, Crucell has indicated that there is an outstanding balance of €172,801 owing to them. Over the last few months we have had discussions resulting in an informal commitment to hold our license in a dormant state until we are able to meet some of the payment requirements and are funded to continue with our development program.

SAFC Pharma (Molecular Medicine)

On March 18, 2003, we 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 our TAP gene technology. The product is required to conduct pre-clinical toxicology studies and subsequent human clinical trials.

We were in breach of our PSA 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. We have developed a second option and are preparing to initiate viral construction on the best and most suitable cell line. Despite the technical difficulties we anticipate production of a clinical grade TAP based vaccine to be produced utilizing the adeno vector from Crucell or an in-house vector supplied by SAFC to allow us to meet our milestones for commencing toxicology analysis by the end of 2010.

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases

On October 21, 2003, we 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 expired on November 5, 2008. The Company will renegotiate with PHS once funding is in place.

Other Technology

On February 16, 2004, we added to our technology portfolio by expanding the License Agreement (now assigned under the purchase 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 our business operations. We protect our technology through various United States and foreign patent filings, and maintain trade secrets that we own. 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 our exclusive property.

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.

Pursuant to the acquisition agreement with UBC, we acquired the 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 Enhancing an Immune Response

U.S. patent No. 7,378,087, issued May 27 2008. The patent claims relate to methods for enhancing the immune response to tumor cells by introducing the TAP molecule into the infected cells. Patent applications are pending on other aspects of the Company’s technology. The inventors were Jefferies, Wilfred A.; Zhang, Qian-Jin; Chen, Susan Shu-Ping; Alimonti, Judie B., who collectively assigned the patent to UBC under an assignment agreement.

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

Patent applications have been filed by TapImmune and UBC in respect of our technologies and those currently under assignment. In December 2006, January, November and December 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 also filed for a continuation and had reinstated a previously ‘unintentionally abandoned’ patent. A clerical error at our previous patent counsel caused a filing date to be erroneously missed. That patent is now issued. We intend to continue to work with UBC to file additional patent applications with respect to any novel aspects of our technology to further protect our intellectual property portfolio.

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 we are 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 us in recruiting qualified scientific personnel. Many of our potential competitors have substantially greater financial, research and development, human and other resources than us. Furthermore, large pharmaceutical companies may have significantly more experience than we do 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.

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 our major competitors: CellGenSys Inc., Dendreon Corp., Genzyme Molecular Oncology, 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.

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. We intend to enter into a contract with SAFC Pharma 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.

Product Liability and Insurance

Once we commence the sale of our products into the market, we will face the risk of product liability claims. Because we are not yet selling our products, we have not experienced any product liability claims to date and we do 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 our business, financial condition or results of operations, or that such insurance will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

Employees

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. 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, 2008, we did not have any employees.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this annual report in evaluating our company and its business before purchasing shares of our common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. The risks described below may not be all of the risks facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business operations. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.

Risks Related to Our Company

We have a history of operating losses.

We continue to incur losses and 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 $20,812,106, 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 development 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, 2008 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 we 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, successful renegotiations and continued support from our creditors and ultimately on generating future profitable operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient additional capital or eventually achieve 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.

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 partner 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.

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 2010 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.

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 receive 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.

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, and Patrick McGowan, our Chief Financial Officer. 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 or Mr. McGowan 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.

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 the date of this Annual Report our officers and directors owned of record approximately 868,896 or 3.6% of the outstanding shares of common stock. If they exercise all of the warrants and vested options that they currently hold, they would own 3,372,896 shares of our common stock or 13.6% 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.

As of the date of this Annual Report we had reserved 6,400,000 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 6,320,000 shares are outstanding. Additionally, as of the date of this Annual Report there were 11,917,667 warrants outstanding to purchase our common stock and a commitment to issue 5,527,000 additional warrants. 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.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

We do not own any real estate or other properties. Our registered office is located at Unit 2, 3590 West 41st Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia Canada, V6N 3E6. 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 (CDN) plus a share of operating costs during the first two years of the term, and monthly payments of $2,820 (CDN) 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.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

We delivered proxy statements on schedule 14A as filed with the SEC on December 31, 2008 for a special meeting of shareholders. As described in our current report filed with the SEC on February 6, 2009, our shareholders approved at a special meeting of shareholders held on January 22, 2009, an amendment to our articles of incorporation to increase our authorized shares of common stock from 80,000,000 to 500,000,000.

ITEM 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial condition, plan of operations and results of operations should be read in conjunction with (i) our audited consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2008 and for the period from inception (July 27, 1999) to December 31, 2008 and (ii) the section entitled “Business”, included in this annual report. The discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this annual report.

Plan of Operations

Management believes that an estimated $5,000,000 in conjunction with a significant debt reduction through creditor negotiation and /or equity for debt settlement is required over the next two years for expenses associated with the balance of pre-clinical development and completion of toxicology trials for the TAP Cancer Vaccine and prophylactic vaccine adjuvant and for various operating expenses. We are encouraged by recent success stories in the small cap biotech arena where larger biotech and pharmaceutical companies have taken significant positions in, or invested in joint development projects with, smaller companies like ours. While the capital markets are currently very challenging, we are hopeful that our early success and very promising technology will enable us to raise the required funding to proceed.

2008 was a very challenging year in the capital markets. We were not able to secure significant funding after the smaller bridge funding we completed in December 2007. We were able to continue important patent work resulting in the granting of a significant patent mid way through 2008. We were also able to complete initial testing of the research vaccine stocks we had. With that data in hand, we were able to set out a clear pre-clinical vaccine construction and manufacturing plan and timeline with the right FDA accredited partners. Unfortunately, as the markets continued to deteriorate we were not able to secure the funding required to enter into those contracts. As all of the relationships are in place and contracts have been planned, once funding is secured, this work could begin fairly quickly.

Over the past several years and 2008 being no exception, the Company has obtained financing from related and unrelated parties under challenging conditions. The company has been successful to date in raising sufficient funding to sustain operations by renegotiating or replacing debt instruments and by extending terms and conditions when default has occurred. These forms of financing are costly from a market risk perspective and from a legal and operation expense perspective. As a consequence of debt restructuring there has been substantial dilution and potential dilution to shareholders through stock based payments and commitments required to continue or renew debt arrangements. As an example, during 2008 some of promissory notes had expired (some well over a year beyond their initial term) and a call on them would have caused the Company severe distress and even bankruptcy, as consideration for the extension and continued support additional warrants were issued at a discount to the lowest bid price at the time. The note holders had all expected the short term loans to be repaid and could have asked for collateral security. All the note holders indicated that the outstanding debt was a significant burden on their own businesses during a very challenging capital market and now carried significant risk. These loans were crucial to the Company in order to keep it afloat and to make payments that would ultimately have left company with no assets had they not been entered into.

Management has been working with a consulting firm over the past few months to determine a workable solution for the Company going forward. As the Company’s growth has been limited by a significant debt burden, a consulting firm has been engaged to negotiate with various creditors in an effort to restructure certain debt, including the notes mentioned above, and payables thereby placing the Company on a stronger foundation for a subsequent fundraising. Management is confident that a workable solution can be achieved.

Fund raising is required to initiate our preclinical manufacturing contracts. The short term requirement is roughly $1,000,000 with a further $1.5M to $2M required for the next 12 months to get us to a point where we can initiate a Phase 1 study (a single phase 1 study will cost approximately $1M). Outside of internal development and contracted manufacturing, management has been actively seeking partnerships and joint venture opportunities with suitable companies.

We have not generated any cash flows 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, if successful, may be adequate to fund our operations over the next 24 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 or not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to conduct our proposed business operations successfully, which could significantly and materially restrict or delay our overall business operations.

Year Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2007

We are a development stage company. We recorded a net loss of $2,195,939 during the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $3,891,411 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses incurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 were $2,278,598 compared to $3,891,411 in the prior year. Significant changes and expenditures are outlined as follows:

·	Consulting fees were $233,283 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $171,854 during the prior fiscal year. The increase was due primarily to new agreements in the current year for investor relations and marketing services.

·	Stock-based consulting fees were $151,500 in the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $309,500 in the prior year. The current and prior year charges result from the fair valuation of shares issued to consultants and options granted to or earned by consultants during such periods.

·	Depreciation was $7,482 in the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $5,970 in the prior year, with the increase resulting from full depreciation in the current year on furniture and equipment purchased in the prior fiscal year.

·	General and administrative expenses were $115,693 in the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $132,587 in the prior year, with the decrease resulting primarily from a reduction in operations in the current year due to resource restrictions.

Interest and finance charges were $778,179 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $1,380,075 during the prior fiscal year. The current year consisted of $113,634 in accrued interest on notes payable, $206,820 representing the fair value of warrants attached to debt issued during the year, a $340,048 non-monetary charge related to the fair value of a beneficial conversion feature and warrants on 2007 convertible debt, and $117,677 representing the fair value of warrants to be issued which relate to outstanding debt. The prior year consisted of 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 new promissory notes signed during the current year. The $1,016,000 non-monetary charge related 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.

·	Management fees were $353,162 in the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $286,632 in the prior year, with the difference resulting primarily from a change in executive compensation during the second half of the prior year, and additional directors’ fees during the current year.

·	Stock-based management fees were $172,668 in the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $654,722 in the prior year. The current and prior year charges result from the fair valuation of options granted to management that were earned during the period.

Professional fees were $284,288 in the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $524,502 in the prior year. The decrease from the prior year results from a decrease in operations in the current year, and additional work relating to financing arrangements and fees relating to the review of, and reinstatement patent applications incurred in the prior year.

·	Research and development costs during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 were $182,343 compared to $425,569 during the prior fiscal year. The decrease results from research and consulting service agreements in effect during the prior fiscal year.

Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $2,195,939 or ($0.09) per share, compared to a net loss of $3,891,411 or ($0.19) per share in the prior period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 23,900,839 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 20,815,273 for the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table sets forth our cash and working capital as of December 31, 2008 and 2007:

	December 31, 2008			December 31, 2007
Cash reserves	$	987		$	167,539
Working capital (deficit)	$	(3,032,512	)	$	(1,691,393	)

Subject to the availability of additional financing, we intend to spend approximately $3,000,000 over the next twelve months in carrying out our plan of operations. At December 31, 2008, we had $987 of cash on hand and a working capital deficit of $3,032,512. As such, our working capital at December 31, 2008 will not be sufficient to enable us to pay our general and administrative expenses, and to pursue our plan of operations over the next twelve months. We anticipate that we will require additional funding of approximately $3,000,000. Our management is currently making significant efforts to secure the needed financing, but we have not yet secured any commitments with respect to such financing. If we are not able to obtain financing in the amounts required or on terms that are acceptable to us, we may be forced to scale back, or abandon, our plan of operations.

Various conditions outside of our control may detract from our ability to raise the capital needed to execute our plan of operations, including overall market conditions in the international and local economies. We recognize that the United States economy has suffered through a period of uncertainty during which the capital markets have been depressed from levels established twelve months ago, and that there is no certainty that these levels will stabilize or reverse. Any of these factors could have a material impact upon our ability to raise financing and, as a result, upon our short-term or long-term liquidity.

Going Concern

We have no sources of revenue to provide incoming cash flows to sustain our future operations. As outlined above, our ability to pursue our planned business activities is dependent upon our successful efforts to raise additional equity financing. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that we will continue to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. As at December 31, 2008, we had accumulated losses of $20,812,106 since inception. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2008 used cash of $714,425 compared to $1,248,810 in the year ended December 31, 2007. Operating activities in the period from inception on July 27, 1999 to December 31, 2008 used cash of $11,445,979. Operating activities have primarily used cash as a result of the operating and organizational activities such as consulting fees, management fees, professional fees and research and development.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

In the year ended December 31, 2008 investing activities used cash of $Nil compared to $22,426 in the year ended December 31, 2007. In the period from inception on July 27, 1999 to December 31, 2008 investing activities provided cash of $204,747.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

As we have had no revenues since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through private placements of our stock. Financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2008 provided cash of $547,873 compared to $1,318,339 in the year ended December 31, 2007. In the period from inception on July 27, 1999 to December 31, 2008 financing activities provided net cash of $11,242,219 primarily from the sale of our equity securities.

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.

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.

See Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements for our year ended December 31, 2008 for a summary of significant accounting policies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes of financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of TapImmune Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TapImmune Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the period from July 27, 1999 (inception) through December 31, 2008. 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 audits 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, and 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 TapImmune Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the period from July 27, 1999 (inception) through December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated revenues since 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 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2008

NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS

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. Unless specifically noted, all amounts have been retroactively restated to recognize the reverse stock split (Note 7).

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. The lead product resulting from these licenses is an 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 has planned to contract out production of clinical grade vaccine. The Company plans to continue development of the lead product vaccine through to 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.

These 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, 2008, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $3,032,512, a capital deficiency of $3,023,373 and has incurred significant losses since inception. Further losses are anticipated in the development stage 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, maintenance and protection of patents, accommodation from certain debt obligations and ultimately on generating future profitable operations. Planned expenditures relating to future clinical trials of the Company’s immunotherapy vaccine will require significant additional funding. The Company is dependent on future financings to fund ongoing research and development as well as 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.

As indicated in Notes 5 and 11 to these financial statements a number of debt obligations are in default as at the audit report date.

Management is addressing going concern remediation through seeking new sources of capital, restructuring and retiring debt through conversion to equity and debt settlement arrangements with creditors, cost reduction programs and seeking possible joint venture participation. Management’s plans are intended to return the Company to financial stability and improve continuing operations. The Company is continuing to raise capital through private placements, related party loans and other sources to meet immediate working capital requirements (Note 10).

Management believes the Company will be able to complete restructuring plans by mid to late 2009. Substantial additional funding or equity for debt settlement will be required to retire notes payable and other debt obligations. If the Company is successful in raising sufficient funding, Management plans to expand programs including pre-clinical work and establishment of manufacturing contracts necessary to enter clinical trials for its lead TAP (Transporters of Antigen Processing) vaccine and infectious disease adjuvant technology. These measures, if successful, should contribute to reducing the risk of going concern uncertainties for the Company over the next twelve months.

There is no certainty that the Company will be able to raise sufficient funding to satisfy current debt obligations or to continue development of products to marketability.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

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

Principles of Consolidation

These 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

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 materially from those estimates. Significant areas requiring management’s estimates and assumptions include deferred taxes and related tax balances and disclosures, determining the fair value of stock-based compensation and stock based transactions, the fair value of the components of the convertible notes payable, foreign exchange gains and losses, the useful lives of furniture and equipment, allocation of costs to research and development and accrued liabilities. Matters impacting the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and contingencies also involve the use of estimates and assumptions.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company's primary management operations are currently located in Canada. All foreign exchange translation gains or losses, except gains and losses arising from self sustaining foreign subsidiary translation at the balance sheet date, are recorded in the earnings of the Company. 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 and gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.

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 which include assumptions about equity and capital market conditions, liquidity, interest rates and cost of capital and market risk. Fair value estimates are based primarily on management inputs when direct arms length market indicators are not readily determinable or available. Management based estimates and inputs are generally subject to higher variability than other observable market indicators. 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 certain 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 assets classified as financial instruments.

The Company operates in the US and incurs expenditures outside of the United States and is exposed to foreign currency risk between the Canadian dollar, U.S dollar and Euros.

Furniture and Equipment

Furniture and equipment is recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life at the following rates:

Computer Equipment

2 years

Furniture and Fixtures

5 years

Laboratory Equipment

3 years

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 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.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recorded $234,168 (2007 - $904,822) in stock-based compensation valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and an additional expense of $90,000 (2007 - $59,400) from the fair value of stock issued pursuant to a consulting services agreement during the year ended December 31, 2008 (Notes 6 and 7).

Deferred Financing 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 development and marketing rights to certain technologies. 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. Accordingly these costs, have been expensed as incurred as research and development costs.

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.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIBS Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. Previously, the Company had accounted for tax contingencies in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. As required by Interpretation 48, which clarifies SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting this standard, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. At the adoption date, the Company applied Interpretation 48 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact in the consolidated financial statements during the year ended December 31, 2008 except for disclosures and for matters as described in Note 11 (contingencies).

Loss per Common 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides more information about an entity's liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. SFAS 161 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, and will be adopted by the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2009. Management does not expect there to be any significant impact of adopting SFAS 161 on our financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS No.162”). SFAS No. 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The new pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or disclosures.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. SFAS 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities. SFAS 163 requires that disclosures about the risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period beginning after issuance. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. This new pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

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 Euro €450,000 (approximately $510,100).

Effective June 6, 2005, Crucell gave the Company notice of default whereby the Company had six 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 six 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 ($151,521) in connection with the reinstatement. Under the revised terms of the agreement, the Company would pay Crucell twelve monthly payments of €10,300 starting May 2006 (paid to October 31, 2006, as of December 31, 2008) and a €75,000 annual license fee (outstanding at December 31, 2008) to maintain the reinstated agreement in good standing. In January, 2008 the Company paid €27,316 ($40,000) towards the outstanding balance and at December 31, 2008 €172,801 ($243,598) has been included in research agreement obligations for the Crucell agreement and is outstanding under the terms of the agreement.

The agreement is currently in default and management is attempting to negotiate a revised payment schedule for the remaining balance, and a continued working relationship. Management has proposed that Crucell would hold the license in a dormant state until the Company can initiate manufacturing and scheduled payments for the license. While management is confident, and based on discussions with Crucell of the proposed future relationship, we cannot be certain that all the conditions will be met to continue the licensing arrangement. Should we not be able to reinstate our Crucell license, the Company would be forced to use alternate cell lines for manufacturing. Alternatives have already been considered and investigated. As at the audit report date, there remains uncertainty over the satisfactory completion of arrangements with Crucell and over the impact to the Company if suitable licensing arrangements are not reached.

Operating Lease

In March 2007, the Company entered into a laboratory lease that expires in February 2012. The terms of the operating lease agreement require the Company to make minimum monthly payments of approximately $2,058 (CAN $2,520).

Combined Research and Operating Obligations

The Company has obligations under the operating lease agreement that expire in February 2012. The aggregate minimum annual payments for the years ending December 31 are as follows:

2009	$	26,363

NOTE 5: CONVERTIBLE DEBT AND PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE

Over the past several years the Company has obtained financing from related and unrelated parties under challenging conditions. The Company has been successful to date in sustaining operations by raising additional capital, by renegotiating or replacing debt instruments and by extending terms and conditions when default has occurred. These forms of financing are restrictive and costly from a market risk perspective and are restrictive from a legal and operational perspective. As a consequence of debt restructuring there has been substantial dilution and potential dilution to shareholders through stock based payments and commitments required to continue or renew debt arrangements. The company continues to be at high risk for, interest rate exposure, liquidity, solvency and for debt renewal. As of March 30, 2009, virtually all of the Company’s promissory note debt instruments are in default (Note 11).

The following is a summary of debt instrument transactions that are relevant to the current and prior year:

In 2007, the Company repaid $133,367 towards the convertible note principal. On July 3, 2007, the Company entered into 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 of the warrants (not completed to date), and reduced the conversion price from $1.25 to $0.25. The incremental increase in the fair value of the warrants resulting from the repricing was determined by management to be $40,000 and was recorded as interest and finance charges. The fair value was 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%. In 2008, the Company repaid $10,000 towards the convertible note principal.

The Company allocated the proceeds of issuance between the secured promissory notes and the warrants based on their relative fair values as determined by management.

NOTE 7: CAPITAL STOCK

Share Capital

The authorized capital of the Company consists of 500,000,000 common shares with $0.001 par value and 5,000,000 non-voting preferred shares with $0.001 par value. On March 27, 2007, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation were amended to increase the authorized capital from 20,000,000 shares of common stock to 80,000,000 shares of common stock, and on January 22, 2009 the authorized capital increased from 80,000,000 shares of common stock to 500,000,000 shares of common stock at a special meeting of the shareholders.

All prior period share transactions included in the Company’s stock transactions and balances have been retroactively restated to give effect to a 2.5 to 1 reverse stock split that occurred June 28, 2007.

2007 Share Transactions

On December 19, 2007 the Company agreed to issue 120,000 shares of restricted common stock with an estimated fair value of $0.195 per share, pursuant to a consulting services agreement. As of December 31, 2008, the $23,400 fair value of the shares to be issued has been recorded as an obligation to issue shares and warrants.

2008 Share Transactions

On April 8, 2008, the Company issued 300,000 shares of restricted common stock with an estimated fair value based on market trading value of $0.30 per share, pursuant to a consulting services agreement. The $90,000 fair value of the issued shares has been recorded as stock-based consulting fees. Additionally, pursuant to the consulting services agreement, the Company has committed to issue options to acquire 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The vesting and expiry terms are to be determined at the time of grant. As of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009 the options were not issued. No stock based compensation has been recorded for this commitment as the fair value could not be reasonably determined at the commitment date.

On July 31, 2008, with an effective date of June 30, 2008, the Company completed a private placement in the amount of 140,000 Units at a subscription price of $0.25 for gross proceeds to the Company of $35,000. Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one-half of one non-transferable share purchase warrant of the Company. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.30 per share for a period which is the earlier of (i) two years from the date of issuance, or (ii) 18 months from the effective date of registration. The Company estimated the total fair market value of the warrants to be $21,000 at the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes pricing model using an expected life of 18 months, a risk-free interest rate of 2.60% and an expected volatility of 202%. The fair value of the warrants has been included in capital stock.

The Company has not separately disclosed the fair market value of the warrants attached to private placements units during the current and prior fiscal years.

Share Purchase Warrants

On December 18, 2007, the Company signed an agreement to extend the terms of the 2007 Promissory Note through February 28, 2008 (refer to Note 5(ii)). As consideration for the extension, the Company agreed to issue to the Lender, as fully paid and non-assessable, 400,000 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 $0.25 per Warrant Share and for an exercise period of up to three years from the issuance date. The fair value of the warrants was determined by Management at $44,000 recorded as a warrant issuance obligation.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company issued, as fully paid and non-assessable, 1,134,000 non-transferable and registerable share purchase warrants, entitling the holder to acquire an equivalent number of common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 per share for a period of up to five years from the date of issuance. The warrants were issued as part of promissory note agreements (refer to Note 5 ((v) to (ix)).

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company issued 207,146 shares of restricted common stock pursuant to the exercise of 358,000 warrants, for total proceeds of $25,000. Of the 358,000 warrants exercised, 258,000 were exercised for $Nil proceeds, in accordance with a cash-less exercise option, resulting in the issuance of 107,146 shares of restricted common stock.

Effective October 15, 2008, the 2007 and 2008 promissory notes (Notes 5(ii) through (ix)) were renewed through March 30, 2009. In consideration for the renewal, the Company agreed to issue 4,927,000 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 $0.01 per Warrant Share and for an exercise period of up to two years from the issuance date. The share purchase warrants were issued on March 11, 2009. The fair value of these warrants was determined to be $246,350, using the Black-Scholes model (assumptions in Note 5), and recorded in equity as an obligation to issue warrants. At December 31, 2008, $114,271 of the total value of $246,350 was expensed as financing cost.

Effective November 25, 2008, the Company agreed to issue, as fully paid and non-assessable, 200,000 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 $0.01 per Warrant Share and for an exercise period of up to two years from the issuance date. The warrant obligation was agreed to as part of a promissory note agreement (refer to Note 5 (x)), and issued on March 31, 2009. The fair value of these warrants was determined to be $10,000, using the Black-Scholes model (assumptions in Note 5), and recorded in equity as an obligation to issue warrants. At December 31, 2008, $3,358 of the total value of $10,000 was expensed as financing cost.

Stock Compensation Plan

On June 8, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the adoption of a stock option plan (the “2007 Plan”) allowing for the granting of up to 6,400,000 options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. Options granted under the Plan shall be at prices and for terms as determined by the Board of Directors. Options granted under the Plan may have vesting requirements as determined by the Board of Directors.

On June 8, 2007, a total of 6,320,000 stock options were granted (1,640,000 to consultants and 4,680,000 to officers and directors) at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The term of these options is ten years. Of the 6,320,000 options granted, 3,100,000 vested upon grant, 2,420,000 vest in one year, 400,000 vest in two years and 400,000 vest in three years. The aggregate fair value of these options was estimated at $1,179,600, or $0.19 per option, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with a risk free interest rate of 5.26%, a dividend yield of 0%, an expected volatility of 83%, and expected life of 5 years for the options vesting immediately, 4 years for the options vesting in one year, 3 years for the options vesting in two years, and 2 years for the options vesting in three years. The earned portion of the value of these options during the year ended December 31, 2008 was $234,168 (2007 - $904,822) of which $61,500 (2007 - $250,010) was recorded as stock based consulting and $172,667 (2007 - $654,722) was recorded as stock based management fees.

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 $10,228,000 at December 31, 2008 (2007 - $12,397,000), which may be available to reduce future year’s taxable income. These carry forwards begin to expire, if not utilized, commencing in 2009. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry forwards.

The Company reviews its valuation allowance requirements on an annual basis based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and this causes a change in management’s judgment about the recoverability of future tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is reflected in current operations and disclosures.

The Company’s policy is to accrue any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax charges or likely penalties and interest in its provision for income taxes. Additionally, FIN 48 requires that a company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. The Company has incurred taxable losses for all tax years since inception and accordingly, no provision for taxes has been recorded for the current or any prior fiscal year.

The actual income tax provisions differ from the expected amounts calculated by applying the combined federal and state corporate income tax rates to the Company’s loss before income taxes and other temporary adjusted as appropriate for temporary and permanent tax basis differences. The components of these differences are as follows:

	Year Ended			Year Ended
	December 31, 2008			December 31, 2007

Loss before income taxes	$	(2,195,939	)	$	(3,891,411	)
Corporate tax rate		35.00	%		42.00	%
Expected tax recovery		(768,578	)		(1,634,393	)

Increase (decrease) resulting from:
Permanent differences		232,591			560,370
Non-qualified stock options		81,959			404,973
Change in enacted tax rates		147,216			-
Change in valuation allowance		306,812			669,050
Income tax recovery	$	-		$	-

The Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

	Year Ended			Year Ended
	December 31, 2008			December 31, 2007

Deferred tax assets:
Loss carryforwards and tax pools	$	4,647,862		$	4,341,050
Valuation allowance		(4,647,862	)		(4,341,050	)
Net deferred income tax assets	$	-		$	-

As the criteria for recognizing future income tax assets have not been met due to the uncertainty of realization, a valuation allowance of 100% has been recorded for the current and prior year.

The Company has not filed income tax returns for several years for the US entities within the consolidated group of companies. Canadian corporate tax returns to the end of 2007 have been filed but as at March 30,2009 had not been assessed. Both taxing authorities prescribe penalties for failing to file certain tax returns and supplemental disclosures. Upon filing and/or review there could be penalties and interest assessed. Such penalties vary by jurisdiction and by assessing practices and authorities. As the Company has incurred losses since inception anticipated risk for exposure to penalties for income tax liability is determined to be low.. However, certain jurisdictions may assess penalties for failing to file returns and other disclosures and for failing to file other supplementary information associated with foreign ownership, debt and equity positions. Inherent uncertainties arise over tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, with respect to transfer pricing, inter-company charges and allocations, financing charges, fees, related party transactions, tax credits, tax based incentives and stock based transactions.

Management has considered the likelihood and significance of possible penalties associated with its current and intended filing positions and has determined, based on their assessment, that such penalties, if any, would not be expected to be material. (Note 10)

Disclosure concerning certain carry-forward tax pools, temporary and permanent timing differences in tax basis versus reported amounts may be impacted by assessing practices and tax code regulations when income tax returns are filed up to date. As a 100% valuation allowance has been provided against deferred tax assets as reported in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, there would be no significant net impact expected to the current and deferred income tax disclosures or reconciliations reported.

Management is not currently able to assess the likelihood of the imposition of penalties or interest arising from delinquent filings. Nor can a reasonable or reliable estimate of such liability, if any, be made at this time. Management intends to bring all of the Company’s tax filings and compliance requirements up to date as Company resources permit.

NOTE 9: SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION AND

NON-CASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES

On April 8, 2008, the Company issued 300,000 shares of restricted common stock with an estimated fair value of $0.30 per share, pursuant to a consulting services agreement. The $90,000 fair value of the issued shares has been recorded as stock-based consulting fees (refer to Note 7).

NOTE 10 – CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

Contingency

As described in Note 8, the Company has not filed income tax returns for several years in certain operating jurisdictions. The company may be subject to possible compliance penalties and interest.

Management is currently not able to make a reliably measurable provision for possible liability for penalties and interest, if any, at this time the Company may be liable for such amounts upon assessment. Penalties and interest, if assessed in the future, will be recorded in the period such amounts are determinable.

Commitment

The Company signed an agreement effective October 1st 2008 with an arms length consulting firm in the United States to assist in strategic planning, debt consolidation and negotiation, strategic partnering, mergers, acquisition and near and long term financing. Pursuant to such Agreement the consulting firm will be compensated $10,000 a month for the term of the Agreement (36 months with mutual cancellation clauses upon notice). Continuation of the agreement is subject to the deliverables outlined therein including strategic planning, successful debt consolidation and restructuring and funding of at least $750,000. After certain restructuring efforts have taken place, the consulting firm would be provided with a mobilization fee of $75,000, issued 2 million common shares and three tranches of warrants, the first priced at the market when issued and the subsequent warrants at 50% and 100% premiums, respectively, to the first set of warrants. As at March 30, 2009 the deliverables had not been met and only the monthly consulting fee has been incurred.

Upon achievement of deliverables any stock based commitments will be valued at the measurement date in the period of such commitment.

As at March 31, 2009 the parties were addressing plans to complete the steps necessary to achieve the deliverables. However, they had not been achieved.

NOTE 11: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On and around February 4, 2009, the Company entered into a series of secured loan agreements pursuant to which it issued secured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) with a term of 180 days. The Debentures total a principal amount of $120,000 and carries a per annum interest rate of 30%. In connection with the issuance of the Debenture, the Company entered into a Security Agreement with the Debenture holders secured with all of the Company’s assets, including the Company’s tangible assets and patents and patent applications, until there has been full compliance with the terms of the Debentures.

In connection with the Debentures, the Company issued warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of its common stock for every $1,000 in face amount of the Debentures for a total of 2,400,000 warrants. The Warrants have a term of two years from the date of issuance. A holder of the Warrants may exercise those Warrants at $0.02 subject to adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events like stock splits. The Company has agreed that any shares into which the Debenture can be converted or into which the Warrants may be exercised shall be included in any registration statement that the Company may elect to file for the registration of its common stock.

The Secured Loan Agreements and the Security Agreement authorize the Company to issue up to another $55,000 of Debentures and 1,100,000 Warrants to additional investors.

The terms of this funding contain onerous security provisions, interest rates and performance requirements. Due to difficulties in raising funds in the capital markets in early 2009, management arranged this financing with private lenders under the specified terms as certain critical expenditures had to be met to sustain the Company. Although there is no certainty, management believes the Company will secure adequate funding prior to the maturity date to repay the loan and release the secured collateral.

In relation to the financing subsequent to the year end, finders’ fee of $10,000 was paid.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

It should be noted that any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions designed to obtain reasonable (and not absolute) assurance as to its effectiveness, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404 A. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”).

As of December 31, 2008 management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control - -Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, as at December 31, 2008 such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed at the time in which the internal control procedures were implemented that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be a material weakness.

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company’s management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) inadequate entity level controls due to: (i) weak tone at the top to implement an effective control environment, and (ii) ineffective audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members (1 of 3) on the current audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. However, management believes that the material weaknesses in entity level controls set forth in item (1) results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, when resources become available to us we will i) expand our personnel improving segregate duties consistent with control objectives, ii) appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to our audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management; and iii) prepare and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the ineffective audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board. In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following material weaknesses (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial close and reporting processes. Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel will result in improved segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the financial reporting department.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action by implementing additional enhancements or improvements, or deploying additional human resources as may be deemed necessary.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal controls over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fourth fiscal quarter of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Term of Office

Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our stockholders or until they resign or are removed from the board in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our Board of Directors and hold office until they resign or are removed from office by the Board of Directors.

Significant Employees

We have no significant employees other than our executive officers.

Audit Committee

Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee which functions pursuant to a written charter adopted by our Board of Directors in March 2004. 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.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

None of our directors, executive officers or control persons has been involved in any of the following events during the past five years: (i) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (ii) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences); (iii) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or (iv) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

Code of Ethics

We have not yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. We plan to adopt a code of ethics in the near future.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and officers, and the persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Copies of all filed reports are required to be furnished to us pursuant to Rule 16a-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based solely on the reports received by us and on the representations of the reporting persons, we believe that these persons have complied with all applicable filing requirements during the year ended July 31, 2008.

Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares).
