PURAMED BIOSCIENCE, INC.
Notes to Condensed Unaudited Financial Statements
For the Nine Month Periods Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010

A.  Basis of Presentation

The condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2011, the condensed statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and the condensed statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared by PuraMed Bioscience, Inc. (the "Company") without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2011 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 presented herein have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company filed with the SEC on September 28, 2010.

B.  Going Concern

At March 31, 2011, the Company had a negative working capital of $342,796, and requires additional funds to accomplish its planned business strategy or support its projected expenses.  The Company plans to obtain the needed working capital primarily through sales of both equity and debt securities, which there is no assurance it will be able to accomplish.  If the Company cannot obtain substantial working capital through common stock sales or other sources (if any), it will be forced to curtail or cease its planned business operations.  If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, its ability to continue as a going concern is doubtful.

C.  Accounting Policies

Loss per common share - Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted loss per common share assumes the exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method, if dilutive.

Product AmortizationPuraMed Bioscience™ products consist primarily of the cost of trade secrets, formulas, scientific and manufacturing know-how, trade names, marketing material and other intellectual property and are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of seven years.

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-28—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). In August of 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-22, Accounting for Various Topics, Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs, and Update No. 2010-21, Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Release No. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies (SEC Update).  In April of 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Accounting for Certain Tax Effects of the 2010 Health Care Reform Acts (SEC Update). Adoption of any of these Updates will have no impact on the Company’s financial reporting.  Should any of these updates pertain to the Company, it will comply with its requirements for reporting.

On November 13, 2009, the Company issued a convertible bond payable for $500,000.  The bond has an annual interest rate of 8% paid monthly and matures on November 13, 2012.  The note was also issued with 75,000 warrants to purchase a share of common stock per warrant at $0.75.  The note is convertible immediately through maturity at $1.00 per share or 500,000 shares of common stock, which created a beneficial conversion feature.  The amount of the beneficial conversion feature, $305,000, was recorded as a discount and will be accreted over the life of the debt.  The warrants issued in conjunction with this note have a three year term, includes a cashless exercise option and are exercisable at $0.75 per share.  The Company performed a valuation of these warrants using the Black-Scholes model, which resulted in a valuation of $104,999.  The following assumptions were used: market price of $1.40, exercise price of $0.75, term of 3 years, interest rate of 1.02%, a dividend rate of 0% and volatility of 510.49%.

On June 21, 2010, the Company issued a convertible bond payable for $30,000.  The bond has an annual interest rate of 8% which accrues monthly and matures on March 21, 2011.  Using the stated conversion rate, a beneficial conversion feature of $30,000 was calculated and recorded immediately because the note was convertible at anytime.  The following assumptions were used:  market price of $0.70, conversion rate of $0.34, term of nine months and an annual interest rate of 8%.  During the quarter ended March, 31, 2011, the note was fully converted for 356,181 shares of common stock.

On September 14, 2010, the Company issued a convertible bond payable for $35,000.  The bond has an annual interest rate of 8% which accrues monthly and matures on June 14, 2011.  Using the stated conversion rate, a beneficial conversion feature of $35,000 was calculated and recorded immediately because the note was convertible at anytime.  The following assumptions were used:  market price of $0.51, conversion rate of $0.32, term of nine months and an annual interest rate of 8%.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, $25,000 of the note was converted to 314,141 shares of common stock.

Pursuant to this registration statement which was effective with the SEC on June 24, we have the right over a 30-month period to sell our shares of common stock to LPC in amounts up to $500,000 per sale, depending on certain conditions as set forth in the purchase agreement, up to the aggregate commitment of $5 million.  In consideration for entering into the $5 million agreement which provides for an additional $4.9 million of future funding, we issued to LPC 150,000 shares of our common stock as a commitment fee and shall issue an equivalent amount of shares pro rata as LPC purchases the additional $4.9 million.  Additional information is contained in the Company’s 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission dated May 28, 2010.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read and considered along with our condensed financial statements and related notes included in this 10-Q.  These financial statements were prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP).  This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.  Our actual results may differ substantially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of our Form 10-K filing for fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2010.

Background

PuraMed BioScience, Inc. (“PuraMed” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Minnesota on May 9, 2006 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wind Energy America, Inc. (formerly “Dotronix, Inc.”) for the purpose of engaging in the business of developing and marketing non-prescription over-the-counter healthcare products to remedy various ailments.

In late 2006, PuraMed’s former parent company decided to spin off its PuraMed subsidiary and related healthcare products business. Accordingly, on April 12, 2007, Wind Energy America, Inc. affected a spin-off of PuraMed to shareholders of Wind Energy America, Inc. on a pro rata dividend basis of one common share of PuraMed for each five common shares of Wind Energy America, Inc. Since April 12, 2007, effective date of the spin-off, PuraMed and Wind Energy America, Inc. have operated separately, with their respective managements, businesses, assets and capital structures being completely independent from each other.

Overview of Business

The Company is engaged in the business of developing and marketing a line of non-prescription medicinal or healthcare products to be marketed through various retail channels under the Lipigesic™ brand and trademark. In an effort to add continuity to all of the PuraMed Bioscience™ products, the Company trademarked the brand name Lipigesic™. The Company has completed all product development and design packaging for its initial three products, LipiGesic™ M (Migraine), LipiGesic™ PM (Insomnia), and LipiGesic™ H (Tension Headache), and began their commercial introduction to the marketplace.
 
Product development and design packaging of all PuraMed products have been conducted entirely by the Company’s two principal officers, Russell Mitchell and James Higgins.  Messrs. Mitchell and Higgins have extensive and lengthy experience in new product development and marketing of non-prescription medical products and nutritional supplements and the many varied promotional activities involved in their marketing rollouts. For example, Mitchell Health Technologies served as the master broker for the launch of Quigley Corp’s “Cold-Eeze” treatment for common colds, which within 18 months exceeded $70 million in annual wholesale revenues. The Company considers the long and successful professional involvement of its management team in our industry to be a valuable asset to draw upon to achieve the future growth and profitability anticipated by the Company.
 
The Company entered the OTC healthcare products marketplace by employing “direct to consumer” marketing via television commercials and print articles.  This will be followed by broad retail distribution through mainstream drug store chains, mass merchandisers, and food chains. PuraMed is currently undergoing substantial activities directed toward its initial commercial launch of Lipigesic™ brand products.
 
In addition to the direct response advertising campaign, PuraMed is now preparing its public relations effort utilizing the evidence from its recently completed clinical study.  The clinical study design was a double blind, placebo controlled, multi-site study measuring the effectiveness of LipiGesic™ M for the treatment of acute migraine attacks.  The company recently announced that their independent clinical study of LipiGesic™ M has been accepted for publication in a top-ranked medical journal.
 
The company plans to implement a robust Social Marketing effort utilizing popular social internet sites like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and the abundance of “blogs”to drive consumers and revenue by obtaining access to large audiences and influencers.   In addition to a strong consumer emphasis, this program will have a major component that promotes our Lipigesic™ M product directly to the medical professionals who treat headaches.
 
The Company intends to continue to develop and grow its intellectual property portfolio which is expected to substantially enhance shareholder value. Our scientific team has gained significant and exciting evidence from its initial research and management, which we expect will assist us in the development of a new generation of botanically derived anti-inflammatory and pain management products with broad applications.

LipiGesic™ M

LipiGesic™ M provides acute relief from migraine headaches, and contains the herbs feverfew and ginger as principal ingredients. PuraMed believes that its specific formulation of these herbs for its migraine remedy is unique and proprietary, providing relief from these severe headaches in minutes. The Company believes it will capture a material segment of the huge migraine headache remedy market. We believe that Americans spend in excess of $6 billion annually on headache pain relievers, and that over half of sufferers of migraine headaches rely exclusively on non-prescription medications.

We believe that at least 30 million Americans suffer from chronic migraine headaches with over 20 million of them having “severe” migraine conditions. Thus migraine headaches constitute a severe and disabling condition for millions of people. We further believe that the economic burden alone to the U.S. economy is in excess of $20 billion annually.

LipiGesic™ M is effective, available as a non-prescription remedy, without any known side effects, and affordable compared to more expensive migraine drugs based on prescription chemical formulations.

LipiGesic™ PM
 
LipiGesic™ PM is a new class of non-prescription sleep aid without any known side effects, and contains a proprietary blend of natural ingredients including Valerian, St. John’s Wort, and Chamomile. We believe that the proprietary blend of these ingredients provides an effective remedy for insomnia and other sleep disorders. The sleep aid market features products based primarily on chemical antihistamines.

Accordingly, the LipiGesic™ PM product provides a wide open market opportunity for an effective, natural alternative to prescription medications, which are somewhat addictive and often cause withdrawal symptoms and other side effects.  We have priced LipiGesic™ PM as a premium sleep aid product, which provides us with a projected gross margin of approximately 80%. This large margin should leave us substantial room for ample introductory promotion, product allowances and other incentives conducive to achieving rapid market penetration.

Similar to the migraine remedy market, the market for sleep aid products represents a very large segment of the overall healthcare products marketplace. We believe that over half of all adults in the U.S. suffer from sleep disorders, and that many of them experience persistent insomnia. The National Center on Sleep Disorders has reported that there are as many as 70 million problem sleepers in the U.S. with many of them suffering from chronic sleep disorders. We believe that insomnia is second only to pain as a healthcare complaint.

Future LipiGesic™ Products

We have completed development of additional non-prescription products, which we intend to launch commercially over the next couple years after establishing a solid market for our initial two products. These other PuraMed products include:

LipiGesic™ H – provides relief for common tension headaches which afflict a majority of American adults from time to time. This remedy provides headache relief features a unique proprietary formulation of St. John’s Wort and common aspirin.

LipiGesic™ Smoker’s Pal – provides relief from the symptoms associated with nicotine withdrawal with the added benefit of an appetite suppressant.

LipiGesic™ RLS – provides relief of problematic leg cramps associated with Restless Leg Syndrome affecting a large segment of the population in the U.S.

LipiGesic™ GI – provides relief of symptoms associated with nighttime reflux disorders.

LipiGesic™ CS – provides fast relief for canker sore outbreaks.
 
 
12

 
 
When introduced commercially, these other products will be packaged and branded much like the initial LipiGesic™ products, since we intend to devote substantial efforts and resources toward gaining a favorable and consistent brand and packaging for all PuraMed products to attempt to make them instantly recognizable on retail store shelves.

Sublingual Delivery System

The LipiGesic™ M, LipiGesic™ PM and LipiGesic™ H are non-prescription, liquid medications that will be absorbed under-the tongue known as “sublingual.” The use of sublingual delivery provides fast relief for whatever ailment or condition is being treated. Unlike the majority of pills and medications absorbed through the stomach directly, PuraMed products are placed and absorbed directly under the tongue. Advantages of sublingual dispensing of drugs and medications include faster acting absorption for quick relief, improved efficacy, less stomach upset, and fewer side effects.

PuraMed has secured reliable contract manufacturers to produce and package PuraMed products in easy-to-use, sublingual dispensers.  These selected contractors are experienced in the production and packaging of this type of dispenser. PuraMed believes that its benchmark use of sublingual dispensers will distinguish its products favorably in comparison to most competing OTC products now in the marketplace.

Regulation of PuraMed Products

Unlike prescription drugs or medications, non-prescription healthcare remedies such as PuraMed products do not require FDA approval prior to entering the market. They are nonetheless subject to substantial FDA and other federal regulations governing their use, labeling, advertising, manufacturing and ingredients. PuraMed believes that its current and proposed development, formulation, marketing and other practices and procedures will comply fully with all governmental regulations applicable to PuraMed Products.

Business Structure

PuraMed will function primarily as a research and development, marketing and sales organization. Product manufacturing, packaging, product fulfillment and other operations will be outsourced to experienced and reliable third parties through contracts controlled by PuraMed. PuraMed believes this structure will reduce significantly the development stage costs and development time related to launching each PuraMed product commercially.

Product Manufacturing

Production and packaging of PuraMed products will be outsourced to various contract manufacturers known by PuraMed’s management from prior substantial business and contract dealings. Due to the business and contacts developed by PuraMed management over the past years with leading contract manufacturers, PuraMed is convinced it can obtain professional and timely production, packaging and delivery of all PuraMed products.

Sales and Marketing

PuraMed intends to launch its initial three products commercially through the following three-phase process:

Phase One Rollout:  Direct Response. In December 2009 Puramed began running its two-minute direct response television commercials via selected national cable television stations.  The media spend over the initial ninety day test phase will be modest in an effort to optimize the television campaign. The media spend is scheduled to increase substantially once the commercial begins to perform in the marketplace.
PuraMed will also employ website and toll-free telephone access in conjunction with its TV direct response campaigns. A Social Media Campaign conducted on the internet via popular internet networking sites will also be implemented to drive customers to our eCommerce websites. PuraMed began Phase One Rollout during late fourth quarter of calendar year 2009.

Phase Two Rollout:  Retail Drugstores. PuraMed expects to drive consumer awareness and product sales from its direct response marketing phase coupled with its Social Marketing Plan to reach both consumers and medical professionals by the second quarter of 2011. It will then begin marketing through approximately 25,000 retail drugstores already targeted by PuraMed, including Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS and others. Due to PuraMed’s management having extensive and good relationships with targeted retail outlets for PuraMed products, PuraMed believes it has the ability to place its products on the shelf in all its targeted retail outlets.

Phase Three Rollout:  Further Retail Outlets. A few months after beginning the Phase Two Rollout, PuraMed will launch Phase Three which will consist of placing PuraMed products in a further approximately 21,000 targeted retail outlets including mass merchandisers such as Wal-Mart and Target, food store chains such as SuperValu, Kroger and Safeway, and additional well-known regional drugstores.

PuraMed has selected its targeted retailers according to various material criteria, including cost of entry, geography, demographics and consumer preference.

After achieving initial distribution for PuraMed products, PuraMed will initiate a comprehensive and ongoing promotional campaign directed toward consumer groups it has identified from its product rollouts.

There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in raising the necessary capital to implement our business plan, either through debt or equity sources.
 
PuraMed’s current business strategy is to continue development and promotion of its initial non-prescription consumer healthcare products in order to complete the first phase of their commercial retail drug chain introduction by the end of the third quarter of calendar year 2011 with product expected on the initial retailer shelves in the second quarter of 2011. PuraMed’s primary goal is to achieve continual material growth of Lipigesic™ product sales through mainstream drug, mass merchandiser and food retail channels while at the same time promoting Lipigesic™ brand awareness to realize substantial profitability as soon as possible. To implement this strategy, PuraMed intends to execute the following activities during the next twelve months:
 
Plan for the Successful Outcome of the Clinical Trial -  Should our anticipated outcome of our clinical study coupled with the publication of the manuscript in a peer reviewed-medial journal prove to be successful, it would provide us with numerous marketing and promotion opportunities that could significantly help with the launch of our Lipigesic™ M migraine product.  PuraMed is in the process of developing a detailed marketing plan that focuses on the medical community in the anticipated event the clinical trials support such action.  Medical marketing efforts geared toward doctors, physician’s assistants, pharmacists, etc could prove to be very lucrative as a component in our overall marketing strategy.
 
Upon publication, we believe that the evidence from the clinical trial could provide the company with a number of enhanced public relations opportunities across a broad spectrum. Our clinical study on LipiGesic M was conducted by three of the top clinical researchers in the country who are well respected for their contribution to the development of breakthrough treatments for migraine and other types of headaches. We believe that the involvement of these researchers, along with publication in a top ranked medical journal will provide the company with a high level of credibility within the mainstream media along with a strong position promoting directly to the medical professionals.

The direct to consumer public relations campaign will include the development of a Video News Release (VNR) featuring our highly respected research team explaining the structure and the outcomes of the study along with additional materials for distribution to the radio and print channels. Additionally, marketing through the social media over the internet is expected to play a key role in the dissemination of the results and the company is laying the groundwork for that effort.

Promotion to the medical community will utilize the published results of the study which are expected to help promote LipiGesic M as a new non-prescription abortive therapy which offers a broad range of advantages over the current first line prescription abortive treatment. The company expects to exhibit and detail the product at key medical conferences throughout the country focusing on headache and primary care specialists. These specialists would include medical doctors, osteopathic physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners. Additionally, the company expects to partner with key national organizations specializing in headache disorders as well as regional groups and support networks.
 
 
18

 
 
Commercialize PuraMed Products – PuraMed’s primary focus for the first quarter of calendar year 2011 will be to complete a plan to promote the results of our clinical trial if they prove to be favorable.  In addition, the scheduling of medical conventions to present and promote the results of our clinical study to doctors and medical professionals who have the ability to drive consumer demand for our products.  The company also plans to implement a robust Social Marketing effort utilizing popular social internet sites like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and the abundance of “blogs” to drive consumers and revenue by obtaining access to large audiences and influencers.  In addition our eCommerce website www.lipigesic.com will continue to be promoted via Direct Response Marketing and our Social Media Marketing efforts. PuraMed has obtained all vendors, suppliers and subcontract third parties needed for its planned production, packaging and raw material, and will continue to identify and obtain alternate sources for PuraMed product inventories.
 
Expansion of Sales and Marketing Activities – PuraMed will continue to expand upon its marketing activities which have been focused toward obtaining a nationwide network of retail outlets and employing “direct to consumer” media advertising for its planned product sales, as well as promoting and building Lipigesic™ brand awareness. PuraMed will participate in industry trade shows and similar events, and also will engage in substantial media advertising and direct sales media campaigns to attract and secure consumers for PuraMed products.
 
Continuation of Product Development – Besides its already developed products, PuraMed will complete development and testing of additional non-prescription drugs and nutritional supplements to be commercially launched in the future as additional Lipigesic™ products.
 
Assuming the company raises the capital, we anticipate spending approximately $2.1 million over the next twelve months regardless of any amounts of revenues we generate from product sales during this period:

1,100,000

Critical Accounting Policies

The foregoing discussion should be considered in conjunction with our unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes included in this quarterly report.  These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP).

The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments affecting our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures.  On an ongoing basis, we will evaluate these estimates which are based on historical experience and certain assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ materially from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

LipiGesic™ Products:

PuraMed Bioscience™ products consist primarily of the cost of trade secrets, formulas, scientific and manufacturing know-how, trade names, marketing material and other intellectual property and are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of seven years.
 
 
19

 

Stock-Based Compensation – We intend to expense any stock-based compensation issued to our employees, contractors, consultants or others providing goods and services to us.  The fair market value of any common stock issued for goods or services will be expensed over the period in which we receive them.  Most likely, any equity securities issued by us for goods and services will consist of common shares or common stock purchase warrants, which will be fully vested, non-forfeitable, and fully paid or exercisable at the date of grant.  Regarding any future stock option or warrant grants, we intend to determine their fair value by using the Black-Scholes model of valuation.

Impairment – Soon after the end of each fiscal year and each interim period, we will conduct an impairment valuation of any material intangible assets owned by us.  If the results of any such impairment analysis indicate our recorded values for any such assets have declined materially, we will adjust our recorded asset valuations in all of our financial statements to reflect any such decline in value.

The carrying value is reviewed periodically or when factors indicating impairment are present.  The impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  The Company believes that no impairment exists at March 31, 2011.
