SUMMARY
 
The following summary of the terms of this Offering is not complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the information set forth in the balance of this Prospectus and the provisions of each of the documents attached hereto as Exhibits.
 
Business
 
SignPath is a clinical stage biotechnology company founded in May 2006 to develop synthesized proprietary formulations of curcumin, a naturally occurring compound found in the root of the Curcuma longa Linn (turmeric) plant, for applications in human diseases. The Company is a publicly held non-traded Delaware corporation.
 
Curcumin has an extensive history as an oral medicinal product with safe human use, but its potential therapeutic benefits have been limited by its low absorption (the amount of active drug reaching lesioned tissue) when taken orally, as well as its inactivation in the liver (due to hepatic glucuronidation or sulfation) and “hydro-phobic” nature whereby it is not soluble in water or blood. SignPath has developed and received approval in June 2014 from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) of its Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application, and in Europe for an Investigated Medical Product Dossier (“IMPD”) for parenterally (taken into the body in a manner other than the digestive tract) administered curcumin, allowing curcumin to be administered intravenously and delivered to diseased sites with minimal inactivation. We believe that the liposomes, liposomal curcumin, and liposomal-PLGA-curcumin formulations we have licensed based on management’s experience and the opinions of our consultants may be useful in the treatment of cancer, diabetes and neurologic disorders. The Company is developing two different intravenous/subcutaneous nano-particle sized formulations and a specific liposome application. Proof of efficacy of these compounds against human tumor xenografts in mice and prevention of cardiac arrhythmias was patent submitted and published. During IND mandated pre-clinical toxicity trials in dogs with liposomal curcumin, a dose-dependent hemolysis was observed, allowing us to identify a safe dose level, hence, allowing specific dose/schedules of administration for clinical trials in dogs and humans.
 
SignPath has licensed three proprietary intravenous formulations containing curcumin as the active therapeutic agent. The first is a liposomal version licensed from University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (“UTMDACC”) which is currently in Phase Ib clinical trials in Salzburg, Austria; the second is a nanosized version licensed from the Johns Hopkins University (“JHU”); and the third is an extended release Liposomal-PLGA formulation (curcumin-ER) licensed from the University of North Texas Health Science Center. The Company’s near term (next 12 months) goals are to complete preclinical development of curcumin-ER, to file a second IND and to begin Phase I trials for safety and dosage studies in patients with cancer under its initial IND approved in June 2014. The complete dossier for liposomal curcumin, our first formulation was submitted to the European Medicines Agency (the “EMA”) on June 8, 2011 for Phase Ia clinical trials and was completed in October 2012. The Company believes its licensed synthetic chemical formulations of curcumin will replace the naturally occurring extract mixture of curcuminoids, and its discovery of the anti-arrythmia effects of its liposomes will render them potentially patentable; patents for liposomal curcumin and nanocurcumin have already been issued. The Company plans to develop these new products which potentially will give SignPath proprietary curcumin preparations with applications in the treatment for a broad spectrum of neoplastic, neurologic, and metabolic indications.
 
The Company has assembled leaders experienced in pharmacologic development of natural products to advise it on the development of its curcumin formulations. This Scientific Advisory Board is comprised of individuals with specific experience with natural products, formulation development, neoplastic, metabolic and neurologic disorders. Expertise in analytical chemistry will come from commercially based product chemists. Drug development will be overseen by Lawrence Helson MD, Chief Executive Officer, an oncologist with 25 years of pharmaceutical development experience; Anirban Maitra, PhD, MPPH, of UTMDACC, who has expertise in nanotechnology, development of nano, and liposomal curcumin testing for antitumor effects; Judith A. Smith, PhD, director of the UTMDACC preclinical development group for the liposomal formulation and Jamboor Vishwanatha of University of North Texas Health Science Center who has experience with extended release formulations.

The Company’s Scientific Advisory Board members all bring relevant experience to the Company. Professor Tauseef Ahmad, MD is an experienced principal investigator for lymphoma, myeloma and solid tumor studies. Dr. Peter P. Sordillo, who joined our Scientific Advisory Board in 2013, is on the Staff of Medical Oncology and Hematology at Lenox Hill Hospital, New York as an experienced Oncologist. See “Management” below for more information about our management team and Scientific Advisory Board members.
 
Clinical application strategies will be based upon the advice of the individuals serving on the Scientific Advisory Board, all of whom have academic and practical experience in biopharmaceutical development. As described below, we expect that our Phase I and II clinical trials will be run by contract clinical research organizations in Europe and the United states.
 
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, and the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company expended $939,296, $841,502, and $1,546,500, respectively, for net research and development. None of these expenses were borne by customers as the final products are not commercially available. They consisted primarily of payments made to commercial and academic institutions.  See “Business” below.
 
Company Strategies and Status
 
Business Concept
 
SignPath is a clinical phase biotech company. We in-license formulated curcumin (API) compounds based upon intellectual property, manufacturing capability, acceptable toxicity, parenteral administration feasibility, unmet clinical needs, and extensive data documenting efficacy of curcumin in disease indications. Following in-licensing of these formulations of curcumin we expect to develop a robust IP profile.   Our modus operandi is to demonstrate safety and efficacy of the formulated compounds in Phase I and II clinical trials in order to facilitate Phase III clinical trials and registration approvals. Following Phase II trials, we plan to partner, joint venture and/or independently complete Phase III clinical trials, and upon approval commercialize the products. The possibilities of selling or licensing territory for our liposome indication, or curcumin products, to other Pharma prior to completion of clinical Phase III of any of the products is not excluded.
 
Goals and Objectives
 
In June 2014, our IND application for liposomal curcumin in a Phase Ib trial was approved by the FDA.  IND status assigned by the FDA allows a drug to be used in humans, exempting it from pre-marketing approval requirements so that experimental trials may be conducted.  We plan to complete a second liposomal curcumin indication for a Phase Ib-II trial of advanced Parkinson’s disease in the US. We have an approved Investigated Medical Product Dossier (IMPD) in Europe. Our immediate goals are to complete Phase Ib clinical trials with liposomal curcumin by December 2014 for omnibus cancer indications in Salzburg, Austria.  A Phase II trial in patients with refractory metastatic or recurrent non-small cell lung cancers will follow in Germany and Austria. They will receive ascending doses of Lipocurc TM  intravenous infusions once weekly for eight weeks (one cycle) in order to determine the optimal safe dosage schedule.  The trial plans to enroll 20-24 patients with the same cancer, and secondarily observe objective tumor response rates, progression free survival, and overall survival.  The analysis will include biomarkers, and the best overall improvement between pre-treatment and up to eight weekly treatments to determine optimal safe dosage.  Additionally, the mean number of evaluable patients who exhibit overall tumor shrinkage (i.e., the disease control rate) will be determined.  SignPath Pharma will also record partial responses, stable disease, and progressive disease by RECIST criteria.  These data will allow the selection of dosage and clinical indications for Phase II and Phase III clinical trials.
 
A separate indication, progressive Parkinson’s disease will enroll 16 patients with progressive disease in order to determine the optimal safe dosage schedule, and will be followed by a Phase II clinical trial. The patients in this trial will receive eight (8) hour infusions twice weekly for four weeks in addition to L-DOPA their standard of care.

We have completed pre-clinical studies of oral lysophosotidylglycerol (Lyso PG) mitigation of QTc prolongation induced by moxifloxicin. In related studies, intravenous liposome mitigates currently marketed NSCLC drugs, including nilotinib, and crizotinib.
 
SignPath is a publicly held non-listed Delaware corporation with offices in Quakertown, Pennsylvania in a building owned by our CEO.  The Company does not pay rent or have a lease for its space.
 
SignPath’s executive office is located at 3477 Corporate Parkway, Suite 100, Center Valley, PA 18034.  Our telephone number is 215-538-9996.

RISK FACTORS
 
The securities offered hereby are speculative, involve a high degree of risk and should only be purchased by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment. Prospective purchasers should carefully consider, among other things, the following risk factors relating to the business of the Company and this offering prior to making any investment. You are strongly urged to consult with professional financial advisors, accountants, and lawyers in evaluating this investment and making an independent and informed decision about whether or not to invest your money in this offering.
 
Risks Related to Our Company
 
History of significant losses and risk of losing entire investment.
 
The Company’s financial statements reflect that it has incurred significant losses since inception, including net losses of $1,310,934, $1,956,872, and $2,139,679 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, and the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The Company expects to continue to have losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future, and it is possible that the Company may never reach profitability. Therefore, there is a significant risk that public investors may lose some or all of their investment.
 
 
8

 

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
 
Our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2013, the continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company’s planned business. Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their audit report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. If we are unable to raise additional capital or borrow money we will not be able to complete and file INDs with the FDA in order to commence clinical trials. If that were to occur the Company would be forced to suspend or terminate operations and, in all likelihood cause investors to lose their entire investment.  During Fiscal 2013, we raised $3,380,000 of gross proceeds, and from January 1, 2014 through November 26, 2014, we raised an additional $1,940,000 of gross proceeds, which has allowed us to continue operations.
 
We are a development stage company, making it difficult for you to evaluate our business and your investment.
 
We are in the development stage and our operations and the development of our proposed products are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including:
 
 
the absence of an operating history;
 
 
the lack of commercialized products;
 
 
reliance on third parties for the development and commercialization of some of our proposed products;
 
 
uncertain market acceptance of our proposed products; and
 
 
reliance on our founder Dr. Lawrence Helson.
 
Because we are subject to these risks, you may have a difficult time evaluating our business and your purchase of our securities.
 
No revenue for the foreseeable future, with substantial losses and no guarantee of profitability.
 
At this stage of its growth cycle, the Company has a limited operating history and no revenues, products ready for market (with the exception of an advertisement to sell liposomal curcumin for restricted animal research), customers or marketing resources.
 
As a development stage company, the Company has a limited relevant operating history upon which an evaluation of its prospects can be made. Such prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in establishing a new business in the evolving and heavily-regulated pharmaceuticals industry, which is characterized by an ever-increasing number of market entrants, intense competition and high failure rate. In addition, significant challenges are often encountered in shifting from developmental to commercial activities.
 
 
9

 
 
In addition, we are subject to many business risks, including but not limited to, unforeseen capital requirements, failure of market acceptance, failure to establish business relationships, and competitive disadvantages against larger and more established companies. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will ever be able to generate revenues or, if the Company generates revenues, that it will ever be profitable, or that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds to continue its planned activities. Therefore, prospective investors may lose all or a portion of their investment. The Company does not anticipate that it will have any revenues for the foreseeable future.
 
Concentration of ownership by a Founder and its affiliates raises a potential conflict of interest between the Company, a Founder and certain of their employees.
 
Bruce Meyers, a Founder of the Company and CEO of Meyers Associates, the Company's Placement Agent, is the General Partner of Meyers Investments Family Limited Partnership, which owns 5,465,283 shares of the 24,521,305 outstanding shares (or an aggregate of  22.3%) of the Company’s voting securities. This concentration of ownership may not be in the best interests of the Company’s other stockholders and Meyers Associates may be subject to potential conflicts of interest.  As the Company's largest shareholder, these conflicts of interest include Mr. Meyers being in a position to elect the Company's Board of Director which may (i) vote to take the Company in a direction different from that of Management; (ii) approve extraordinary corporate transactions including the merger or consolidation of the Company or the sale of the Company's assets to an entity including one related to Mr. Meyers; (iii) approve transactions with a short term return to Mr. Meyers, as opposed to waiting for transactions in the long-term best interests of the Company' and (iv) approve transactions with a relation to Mr. Meyers, as opposed to negotiating with non-affiliated third parties. As a result of Meyers Associates’ ownership of the Company, it is likely that in the event the Company becomes a publicly-traded company, the Placement Agent would not be able to serve as a market maker in the Company’s common stock. To date, Meyers Associates, L.P. has not made a market for the Company's securities in the marketplace, nor has it submitted quotations on an interdealer quotation system for the Company's common stock in the past or is currently doing so.  See “Principal Stockholders”.
 
 The Company does not have the financial resources necessary to successfully complete development and market any formulations of curcumin.
 
As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $1,177,769 cash on hand.  These funds are expected to be sufficient to conduct clinical trials in Europe, to file a second IND and commence clinical trials in the U.S.  However, in order to complete product development and marketing, the Company will need to attract sufficient additional capital.  If the Company does find such financing, it may be on terms that are unfavorable or dilutive, to owners of the Company’s equity securities.
 
Our drug development program will require substantial additional capital to successfully complete it, arising from costs to:
 
 
complete research, preclinical testing and human studies;
 
 
establish pilot scale and commercial scale manufacturing processes; and
 
 
establish and develop quality control, regulatory, marketing, sales and administrative capabilities to support these programs.
 
Our future operating and capital needs will depend on many factors, including:
 
 
the pace of scientific progress in our research and development programs and the magnitude of these programs;
 
 
the scope and results of preclinical testing and human studies;
 
 
the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals;
 
 
the time and costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims;
 
 
competing technological and market developments;
 
 
our ability to establish additional collaborations;
 
 
changes in our existing collaborations;
 
 
the cost of manufacturing scale-up; and
 
 
the effectiveness of our commercialization activities.
 
 
10

 
 
We base our outlook regarding the need for funds on many uncertain variables. Such uncertainties include regulatory approvals, the timing of events outside our direct control such as negotiations with potential strategic partners and other factors. Any of these uncertain events can significantly change our cash requirements as they determine such one-time events as the receipt of major milestones and other payments.
 
We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact our ability to conduct our business. If we are unable to raise additional capital, when required, or on acceptable terms, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or the commercialization of one or more of our product candidates. Accordingly, any failure to raise adequate capital in a timely manner would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and future growth prospects.
 
Additional funds are required to support our operations but we may be unable to obtain them on favorable terms, we would be required to cease or reduce further development or commercialization of our potential products.
 
We will need to increase the size of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing growth.
 
We are a small company with one full-time employee, our CEO, as of the date of this Prospectus. To conduct our clinical trials and commercialize our product candidates, we will need to expand our employee base for managerial, operational, financial and other resources. Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including the need to identify, recruit, maintain and integrate additional employees. Our future financial performance and our ability to commercialize our product candidates and to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to manage any future growth effectively.
 
The Company’s success is highly dependent on attracting and retaining key scientific and management personnel, but the Company may be unable to do so.
 
The Company’s future depends on the service of its scientific and management teams and other key personnel. The Company may be unable to attract highly qualified personnel, especially if it is unable to demonstrate to those individuals that it has sufficient funding to adequately compensate them either through current cash salary or with equity that could eventually have substantial value. If the Company is unable to attract highly qualified individuals, the Company may be unable to continue development or commercialization efforts of its proposed products which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.
 
Risks Related to Our Business
 
We have no experience in manufacturing, sales, marketing or distribution capabilities.
 
The Company has no experience in manufacturing, selling, marketing or distributing any formulations of curcumin or any other product. The Company has outsourced production of raw materials for production of liposomal curcumin and will outsource production of good manufacturing practice (“GMP”) grade of liposomal curcumin and nanocurcumin to commercial facilities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able successfully to sell, market, commercialize or distribute any formulation of curcumin or any other products at any time in the future.
 
If we lose the services of our Chief Executive Officer, our operations would be disrupted and our business could be harmed.
 
Our business plan relies significantly on the continued services of our CEO, Dr. Lawrence Helson, age 83. If we were to lose his services, our ability to continue to execute our business plan would be materially impaired. While we have entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Helson, the agreement would not prevent him from terminating his employment with us. Dr. Helson has not indicated he intends to leave the Company, and we are not currently aware of any facts or circumstances that suggest he might leave us.  See "Management--Contingency Plan."
 
 
11

 
 
We are devoting our efforts to a limited number of product candidates, and there is no assurance of product success.
 
The Company is an early stage biopharmaceutical company and, since its inception, has focused mainly on research and development. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever successfully develop liposomal curcumin, nanocurcucmin, slow release PLGA formulation, or any other formulation of curcumin or any product whatsoever, or obtain FDA approval.
 
Two of our three curcumin formulations will require extensive additional development, including preclinical testing and human studies, as well as regulatory approvals, before we can commercialize and market them. We cannot predict if or when any of the product candidates we are developing will be approved for marketing. There are many reasons that we may fail in our efforts to develop our potential products, including the possibility that:
 
 
human studies may show that our potential products are ineffective or cause harmful side effects;
 
 
the products may fail to receive necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA in a timely manner, or at all;
 
 
the products, if approved, may not be produced in commercial quantities or at reasonable costs;
 
 
the potential products, once approved, may not achieve commercial acceptance;
 
 
regulatory or governmental authorities may apply restrictions to our potential products, which could adversely affect their commercial success; or
 
 
the proprietary rights of other parties may prevent us from marketing our potential products (negligible because there is no other commercial parenteral curcumin developer, and we have approved patent protection).
 
Given our limited focus on two product candidates, if these product candidates do not prove successful in clinical trials, and are not approved or are not commercialized because we have insufficient resources for continued development or for any other reason, we may be required to suspend or discontinue our operations and our business could be materially harmed.
 
SignPath partially depends on intellectual property licensed from third parties which it may not be able to maintain, however has submitted additional patent applications affording broad protection.
 
The Company’s business plan depends on developing products based on intellectual property licensed from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (“UTMDACC”). and the University of North Texas ("UNT"). See “Business - Intellectual Property.” The Company’s license agreements require the Company to make payments to the licensors in the future. The Company currently does not have sufficient resources to make all of such payments, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to make such payments in the future.
 
The Company’s exclusive license with UTMDACC is for the life of patent rights or, if no patent rights are issued, for up to 30 years; however, is terminable upon 30 days’ written notice if the Company fails to cure a breach of payment or funding requirement, or upon up to 90 days’ written notice for any other breach of contract by the Company.
 
 
12

 
 
The Company’s license agreement with JHU is for the life of the last patent to expire or 20 years if no patents issue. It is terminable for a breach of contract by SignPath not cured within 30 days after receipt of notice.
 
 The Company’s license agreement with UNT terminates the later of the expiration of any patent rights or 15 years.  UNT has the right to terminate the license on 90 days’ written notice if the Company has not provided written evidence that it is making diligent efforts to actively commercialize licensed production.
 
Additional patents and pending patent applications filed by third parties, if issued, may cover aspects of products the Company intends to develop or may develop and test in the future. As a result, the Company may be required to obtain additional licenses from third-party patent holders in order to use, manufacture or sell the Company’s product candidates.
 
There can be no assurance that the Company’s current arrangements with JHU, UTMDACC, UNT or any future arrangements will lead to the development of any products with any commercial potential, that the Company will be able to obtain proprietary rights or licenses for proprietary rights with respect to any technology development in connection with these arrangements or that the Company will be able to ensure the confidentiality of any proprietary rights and information developed with JHU, UTMDACC, or UNT will prevent the public disclosure thereof. The Company is not aware of any litigation, threatened litigation, or challenge to intellectual property, however, once any patents are issued to the Company, we may be subject to future litigation.
 
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain its existing license agreements or obtain additional necessary licenses on reasonably acceptable terms or at all. The Company’s inability to maintain its existing licenses or obtain additional licenses on acceptable terms would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
The US FDA regulatory process is costly, lengthy and requires specific expertise.
 
The Company will rely initially on consultants and service organizations with prior experience working with the FDA to guide the product through the regulatory process. The Company has contracts with Clinipace Inc. to analyze, prepare and present Investigational New Drug (“IND”) applications to the FDA and conduct clinical trials. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals can be extremely costly and time-consuming, and there is no guarantee of success. If the Company does not receive approval of any of its IND applications, it will not be able to proceed with Phase Ib-II clinical testing, in the United States, but has completed an IND, and an EMA approved Phase Ib trial in Austria. In addition, clinical testing is not predictable. Even if the FDA approves an IND application, the Company cannot guarantee that the FDA will approve Phase III clinical results. The Company’s failure to obtain required regulatory approvals would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations and could require the Company to curtail or cease its operations.
 
Delays in clinical testing could result in increased cost to us and delay our ability to generate revenue.
 
We may experience delays in clinical testing of our product candidates. We do not know whether planned clinical trials will need to be redesigned or will be completed on schedule, if at all. Clinical trials can be delayed for a variety of reasons, including delays in obtaining regulatory approval to commence a trial, in reaching agreement on acceptable clinical trial terms with prospective sites, in obtaining institutional review board approval to conduct a trial at a prospective site, in recruiting patients to participate in a trial or in obtaining sufficient supplies of clinical trial materials. Many factors affect patient enrollments, including the size of the patient population, the proximity of patients to clinical sites, the eligibility criteria for the trial, competing clinical trials and new drugs approved for the conditions we are investigating. Prescribing physicians will also have to decide to use our product candidates over existing experimental drugs that have putative better safety and efficacy profiles. Any delays in completing our clinical trials will increase our cost, slow down our product development and approval process and delay our ability to generate revenue.
 
We may be required to suspend or discontinue clinical trials due to unexpected side effects or other safety risks that could preclude approval of our product candidates.
 
Our clinical trials may be suspended at any time for a number of reasons. For example, we may voluntarily suspend or terminate our clinical trials if at any time we believe that they present an unacceptable risk to the clinical trial patients. In addition, regulatory agencies may order the temporary or permanent discontinuation of our clinical trials at any time if they believe that the clinical trials are not being conducted in accordance with requirements or that they present an unacceptable safety risk to the clinical trial patients.
 
 
13

 
 
The Company has not encountered any adverse effects in mice or rats with liposomal curcumin or nanocurcumin. However, studies in humans have been initiated by the Company and an acceptable dose level has been identified, with less than grade I erythroid (RBC) toxicity. Administering any product candidates to humans may produce undesirable side effects. These side effects could interrupt, delay or halt clinical trials of our product candidates and could result in the FDA or other regulatory authorities denying further developments or approval of our product candidates for any or all targeted indications. Ultimately, some or all of our product candidates may prove to be unsafe for human use. Moreover, we could be subject to significant liability if any volunteer or patient suffers, or appears to suffer, adverse health effects as a result of participating in our clinical trials.
 
If testing of a particular product candidate does not yield successful results, then we will be unable to commercialize that product.
 
Our product candidates in clinical trials must meet rigorous testing standards. We must demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our potential products through extensive preclinical and clinical testing. Clinical trials are subject to continuing oversight by governmental regulatory authorities, such as the FDA, and the EMA and institutional review boards and must meet the requirements of these authorities in the United States and in Europe including those for informed consent and good clinical practices. We may not be able to comply with these requirements, which could disqualify completed or ongoing clinical trials. 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, including the following:
 
 
safety and efficacy results from human clinical trials may show the product candidate to be less effective or safe than desired, however, those results may not be replicated in later clinical trials;
     
 
the results of preclinical studies may not be indicative of results that will be obtained in human clinical trials;
     
 
after reviewing relevant information, including preclinical testing or human clinical trial results, we may abandon or substantially restructure projects that we might previously have believed to be promising;
     
 
we and/or the FDA or EMA may suspend or terminate clinical trials if the participating patients are being exposed to unacceptable health risks or for other reasons; and
     
 
the effects of our product candidates may not be the desired effects or may include undesirable side effects or other characteristics that interrupt, delay or cause us or the FDA to halt clinical trials or cause the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities to deny approval of the product candidate for any or all target indications.
 
Data from our completed clinical trials, when and if completed, may not be sufficient to support approval by the FDA and the EMA. The clinical trials of our product candidates may not be completed as or when planned, and the FDA or EMA may not approve any of our product candidates for commercial sale. If we fail to demonstrate the safety or efficacy of a product candidate to the satisfaction of the FDA or EMA, this will delay or prevent regulatory approval of that product candidate. Therefore, any delay in obtaining, or inability to obtain, FDA or EMA approval of any of our product candidates could materially harm our business and cause our stock price to decline.
 
Even if we receive regulatory approval for our product candidates, we will be subject to ongoing significant regulatory obligations and oversight.
 
If we receive regulatory approval to sell our product candidates, the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities may, nevertheless, impose significant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of such products, or impose ongoing requirements for post-approval studies. If we fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, we may be subject to fines, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals, product recalls, seizure of products, operating restrictions and criminal prosecution. Any of these events could harm or prevent sales of the affected products or could substantially increase the costs and expenses of commercializing and marketing these products. In addition, if any of our product candidates receive marketing approval and we or others later identify undesirable side effects caused by the product, we could face one or more of the following:
 
 
14

 
 
 
a change in the labeling statements or withdrawal of FDA or other regulatory approval of the product;
 
       
 
a change in the way the product is administered; or
     
 
the need to conduct additional clinical trials.
 
Discovery after approval of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in actions such as:
 
 
restrictions on such products’ manufacturers or manufacturing processes;
 
 
restrictions on the marketing of a product;
 
 
warning letters;
 
 
withdrawal of the products from the market;
 
 
refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;
 
 
recall of products;
 
 
fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;
 
 
suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals;
 
 
refusal to permit the import or export of our products;
 
 
product seizure;
 
 
injunctions; or
 
 
imposition of civil or criminal penalties.
 
Our potential products face significant regulatory hurdles prior to commercialization and marketing which could delay or prevent sales; No assurance of FDA approval.
 
The FDA and comparable agencies in foreign countries impose substantial requirements upon the introduction of therapeutic and diagnostic pharmaceutical and biological products through lengthy and detailed laboratory and clinical testing procedures, sampling activities and other costly and time-consuming procedures. Satisfaction of these requirements typically takes several years or more and varies substantially based upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product. The regulatory review may result in extensive delay in the regulatory approval process. Regulatory requirements ultimately imposed could adversely affect the Company’s ability to clinically test, manufacture or market potential products. Government regulation also applies to the manufacture of pharmaceutical and biological products.
 
Before we obtain the approvals necessary to sell any of our potential products, we must show through preclinical studies and human testing that each potential product is safe and effective. Failure to show any potential product’s safety and effectiveness would delay or prevent regulatory approval of the product and could adversely affect our business. The clinical trials process is complex and uncertain. The results of preclinical studies and initial clinical trials may not necessarily predict the results from later large-scale clinical trials. In addition, clinical trials may not demonstrate a potential product’s safety and effectiveness to the satisfaction of the regulatory authorities. A number of companies have suffered significant setbacks in advanced clinical trials or in seeking regulatory approvals, despite promising results in earlier trials.
 
 
15

 
 
The rate at which we complete our clinical trials depends on many factors, including our ability to obtain adequate supplies of the potential products to be tested and patient enrollment. Patient enrollment is a function of many factors, including the size of the patient population, the proximity of patients to clinical sites and the eligibility criteria for the trial. Delays in patient enrollment may result in increased costs and longer development times. In addition, under our license agreements with UTMDACC, JHU, and UNT these universities have certain rights to control product development and clinical programs for products developed under the collaborations. As a result, the universities may conduct these programs more slowly or in a different manner than we had expected. Even if clinical trials are completed, we or the universities still may not apply for FDA approval in a timely manner or the FDA still may not grant approval.
 
Competition in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries is intense, and if SignPath fails to compete effectively its financial results will suffer.
 
SignPath’s business environment is characterized by extensive research efforts, rapid developments and intense competition. Its competitors may have or may develop superior technologies or approaches to the development of competing products, which may provide them with competitive advantages. The Company’s potential curcumin product candidates may not compete successfully. The Company believes that successful competition in its industry depends on product efficacy, safety, reliability, availability, timing, scope of regulatory approval, acceptance and price, among other things. Important factors to SignPath’s success also include speed in developing product candidates, completing clinical development and laboratory testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and manufacturing and selling commercial quantities of potential products to the market.
 
            The Company expects competition to increase as technological advances are made and commercial applications broaden. In the event it develops its initial product candidates and any additional product candidates, the Company anticipates it may face substantial competition from pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other companies, universities and research institutions. The Company is aware of other companies and academic groups that focus on cellular signal transduction pathways and are developing specific pathway or related kinase inhibitors. These competitors include Exelixis Inc., Onyx Pharmaceuticals, and several major pharmaceutical companies, however, none of their compounds has the broad spectrum of activity of curcumin.
 
Many of the Company’s non-curcumin-competitors have substantially greater capital resources, research and development staffs, facilities and experience in conducting clinical trials and obtaining regulatory approvals, as well as in manufacturing and marketing pharmaceutical products. In addition, some of SignPath’s putative competitors may achieve product commercialization or patent protection earlier than SignPath achieves commercialization or patent protection, if at all.
 
If we or our collaborators receive regulatory approvals for our product candidates, some of our products will compete with well-established, FDA-approved therapies that have generated substantial sales over a number of years. However, we will focus on unmet needs, and indications where FDA-approved therapies have failed. In addition, we will face competition based on many different factors, including:
 
 
the safety and effectiveness of our products;
 
 
the timing and scope of regulatory approvals for these products;
 
 
the availability and cost of manufacturing, marketing and sales capabilities;
 
 
the effectiveness of our marketing and sales capabilities;
 
 
the price of our products;
 
 
the availability and amount of third-party reimbursement; and
 
 
the strength of our patent position.

We also anticipate that we will face increased competition in the future as new companies enter our target markets and scientific developments surrounding cancer therapies and drugs for treatment of inflammatory conditions continue to accelerate. Competitors may develop more effective or more affordable products, or may achieve patent protection or commercialize products before us or our collaborators. In addition, the health care industry is characterized by rapid technological change. New product introductions, technological advancements, or changes in the standard of care for our target diseases could make some or all of our products obsolete.
 
The Company may be unable to defend or protect its intellectual property.
 
The Company intends to protect its intellectual property through patents and trademarks. The patent positions of biotechnology companies generally are highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions that will determine who has the right to develop a particular product or process. As a result, the Company cannot predict which of its patent applications will result in the granting of patents or the timing of the granting of the patents. Additionally, many of the Company’s competitors have significantly greater capital with which to pursue patent litigation. There can be no assurance that the Company would have the resources to defend its patents in the face of a lawsuit.
 
Further, the Company partially relies on trade secrets, know-how and other proprietary information. The Company seeks to protect this information, in part, through the use of confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants, advisors and others. Nonetheless, there can be no assurance that those agreements will provide adequate protection for the Company’s trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information and prevent their unauthorized use or disclosure. While the Company is not aware of any challenges to its intellectual property, once any patents are issued to the Company litigation may ensue. There is also the risk that the Company’s employees, consultants, advisors or others will not maintain confidentiality of such trade secrets or proprietary information, or that this information may become known in some other way or be independently developed by the Company’s competitors.
 
SignPath is exposed to product liability risks.
 
The Company’s business exposes it to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the testing, including testing in human clinical trials, manufacturing, marketing and sale of biotechnology products. There can be no assurance that product liability claims will not be asserted against the Company.
 
We plan to have product liability insurance covering our clinical trials which we currently believe will be adequate to cover any product liability exposure we may have. Clinical trial and product liability insurance is becoming increasingly expensive. As a result, we may be unable to obtain sufficient insurance coverage at a reasonable cost to protect us against losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business. An individual may bring a product liability claim against us if one of our products or product candidates causes, or is claimed to have caused, an injury or is found to be unsuitable for consumer use. Any product liability claim brought against us, with or without merit, could result in:
 
 
liabilities that substantially exceed our product liability insurance, which we would then be required to pay from other sources, if available;
 
 
 increase of our product liability insurance rates or the inability to maintain insurance coverage in the future on acceptable terms, or at all;
 
 
withdrawal of clinical trial volunteers or patients;
 
 
damage to our reputation and the reputation of our products, resulting in lower sales;
 
 
regulatory investigations that could require costly recalls or product modifications;
 
 
litigation costs; and
 
 
the diversion of management’s attention from managing our business.
 
 
17

 
 
A successful product liability claim or series of claims brought against the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operation.
 
The Company may be sued by third parties who claim that its products infringe on their intellectual property rights.
 
The Company may be exposed to future litigation by third parties based on claims that its patents, products or activities infringe on the intellectual property rights of others or that the Company has misappropriated the trade secrets of others. Any litigation or claims against the Company, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs, could place a significant strain on the Company’s financial and managerial resources, and could harm the Company’s reputation. In addition, intellectual property litigation or claims could force the Company to do one or more of the following, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company or cause the Company to curtail or cease its operations:
 
 
Cease testing, developing, using and/or commercializing liposomal curcumin, nanocurcumin, slow release PLGA formulation or other formulations of curcumin or other products that it may develop; or
 
 
Obtain a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which could also be costly or may not be available on reasonable terms.
 
SignPath may be subject to damages resulting from claims that it or its employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.
 
The Company’s current employee and/or future employees have been previously employed by other biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies. Although no claims against the Company are currently pending or threatened, the Company may be subject to claims that these employees or the Company have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of their former employers. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. Even if SignPath is successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management. If the Company fails in defending such claims, in addition to paying money claims, it may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel. A loss of key research personnel or their work product could hamper or prevent its ability to commercialize certain product candidates, which could severely harm SignPath’s business.
 
Governmental and third-party payors may impose sales and pharmaceutical pricing restrictions or controls on SignPath’s potential products that could limit its future product revenues and adversely affect profitability.
 
The commercial success of the Company’s potential products is substantially dependent on whether third-party reimbursement is available for the ordering of its products by the medical profession for use by their patients. Medicare, Medicaid, health maintenance organizations and other third-party payors may not cover or provide adequate payment for SignPath’s potential products. They may not view the Company’s potential products as cost-effective and reimbursement may not be available to consumers or may not be sufficient to allow its potential products to be marketed on a competitive basis. Likewise, legislative or regulatory efforts to control or reduce health care costs or reform government health care programs could result in lower prices or rejection of its potential products. Changes in reimbursement policies or health care cost containment initiatives that limit or restrict reimbursement for the Company’s products may cause its revenue to decline.
 
Rapid technological change could make any products that SignPath eventually develops obsolete.
 
Biopharmaceutical technologies have undergone rapid and significant change and the Company expects that they will continue to do so. Any compounds, products or processes that SignPath develops may become obsolete or uneconomical before the Company recovers any expenses incurred in connection with their development.

We expect to rely heavily on third party relationships and termination of any of these programs could reduce the financial resources available to us, including research funding and milestone payments.
 
Our strategy for developing and commercializing many of our potential product candidates, including products aimed at larger markets, includes entering into collaborations with research partners, licensors, licensees and others. These collaborations will provide us with research and development resources for potential products. These agreements also will give our collaborative partners significant discretion when deciding whether or not to pursue any development program. Our collaborations may not be successful. Currently, we have collaborative relationships with JHU, UTMDACC, and UNT. See “Business – Intellectual Property”.
 
In addition, JHU, UTMDACC, or UNT may develop products, either alone or with others, which compete with the types of drugs they currently are developing with us. This would result in less support and increased competition for our programs. If any of our three licensors breach or terminate their agreements with us or otherwise fail to conduct their collaborative activities successfully, our product development under these agreements will be delayed or terminated.
 
We may have disputes in the future with JHU, UTMDACC, and UNT including disputes concerning who owns the rights to any technology developed. These and other possible disagreements between us and our licensors could delay our ability and the ability of the universities to achieve milestones or our receipt of other payments. In addition, any disagreements could delay, interrupt or terminate the collaborative research, development and commercialization of certain potential products, or could result in litigation or arbitration. The occurrence of any of these problems could be time-consuming and expensive and could adversely affect our business.
 
In general, collaborative agreements provide that they may be terminated under certain circumstances. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to extend either of its agreements with the universities upon their termination or expiration, or that the Company will be able to enter into new collaborative agreements with existing or new partners in the future. To the extent the Company chooses not to or is unable to establish any additional third party arrangements, it would require substantially greater capital to undertake research, development and marketing of its proposed products at its own expense. In addition, the Company may encounter significant delays in introducing its proposed products into certain markets or find that the development, manufacture or sale of it proposed products in such markets is adversely affected by the absence of such third party agreements.
 
We will rely on third parties to supply and manufacture our product candidates, without any direct control over the timing for the supply, production and delivery of our product candidates, thereby possibly adversely affecting any future revenues.
 
Curcumin was initially obtained from SAFC and subsequently from Sabinsa in Bangalore, India. We will rely exclusively and be dependent on certain third party source suppliers to supply pure synthetic curcumin for our product candidates. Liposomal curcumin is manufactured in Vienna, Austria by Polymun Scientific Immunbiologische Forschung GmbH. We have obtained initial quantities of liposomal curcumin from Sabinsa/Sami Labs, Bangalore, India. Nanocurcumin will be manufactured by Regis Pharmaceuticals. The polymer was manufactured by Surmodics. See “Business – Potential Commercialization of Liposomal Curcumin and Nanocurcumin; and Raw Materials; Supplies.”
 
If any of these arrangements terminate, locating additional or replacement suppliers for these materials may take a substantial amount of time. In addition, we may have difficulty obtaining similar supplies from other suppliers that are acceptable to the FDA. If we have to switch to a replacement supplier, we may face additional regulatory delays and the manufacture and delivery of our product candidates could be interrupted for an extended period of time, which may delay completion of our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates. As a result, regulatory approval of our product candidates may not be received at all. All these delays could cause delays in commercialization of our product candidates, delays in our ability to generate revenue, and increase our costs.
 
 
19

 
 
Further, our contract manufacturers must comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMPs, and other government regulations, which may limit the available sources of our needed supplies. The FDA periodically inspects manufacturing facilities, including third parties who manufacture products or active ingredients for us. The FDA may not believe that the chosen manufacturers have sufficient experience making the dosage forms that we have contracted with them to produce, and may subject those manufacturers to increased scrutiny. Pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities must comply with applicable cGMPs, and manufacturers usually must invest substantial funds, time and effort to ensure full compliance with these standards. We will not have control over our contract manufacturers’ compliance with these regulations and standards. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in sanctions, fines, delays or suspensions of approvals, seizures or recalls of products, operating restrictions, manufacturing interruptions, costly corrective actions, injunctions, adverse publicity against us and our products and possible criminal prosecutions.
 
We will rely on third parties to conduct our clinical trials. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or meet expected deadlines, we may not be able to seek or obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize our product candidates.
 
We will need to retain a third party clinical research organization, or CRO, to implement, provide monitors and manage data for our clinical programs. We and our CRO are required to comply with current Good Clinical Practices, or GCPs, regulations and guidelines enforced by the FDA for all of our products in clinical development. The FDA enforces GCPs through periodic inspections of trial sponsors, principal investigators and trial sites. In the future, if we or our CRO fails to comply with applicable GCPs, the clinical data generated in our clinical trials may be deemed unreliable and the FDA may require us to perform additional clinical trials before approving our marketing applications. We cannot assure you that, upon inspection, the FDA will determine that any of our clinical trials for products in clinical development comply with GCPs. In addition, our clinical trials must be conducted with products produced under cGMP regulations, and will require a large number of test subjects. Our failure to comply with these regulations may require us to repeat clinical trials, which would delay the regulatory approval process.
 
If CROs do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or obligations or meet expected deadlines, if they need to be replaced, or if the quality or accuracy of the clinical data they obtain is compromised due to the failure to adhere to our clinical protocols, regulatory requirements or for other reasons, our clinical trials may be extended, delayed or terminated, and we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or successfully commercialize our product candidates. As a result, our financial results and the commercial prospects for our product candidates would be harmed, our costs could increase, and our ability to generate revenue could be delayed.
 
The Orphan Drug Act may provide a competitor with up to seven years of market exclusivity.
 
The Orphan Drug Act was created to encourage companies to develop therapies for rare diseases by providing incentives for drug development and commercialization. One of the incentives provided by the act is seven years of market exclusivity for the first product in a class licensed for the treatment of a rare disease. We intend to target indications that would be covered by the Orphan Drug Act, and companies may obtain orphan drug status for therapies that are developed for this indication. In the event that any competitor of ours is first to obtain FDA licensure for a competitive product, we could be prevented from obtaining licensure and marketing our product candidates.
 
The commercial success of our product candidates will depend upon the degree of market acceptance of these products among physicians, patients, health care payors and the medical community.
 
Even if a product candidate is approved for sale by the appropriate regulatory authorities, physicians may not prescribe our product candidates, in which case we could not generate revenue or become profitable. Market acceptance by physicians, healthcare payors and patients will depend on a number of factors, including:
 
 
20

 
 
 
acceptance by physicians and patients of each such product as a safe and effective treatment;
 
 
cost effectiveness;
 
 
adequate reimbursement by third parties;
 
 
potential advantages over alternative treatments;
 
 
relative convenience and ease of administration; and
 
 
prevalence and severity of side effects.
 
We are subject to critical accounting policies, and we may interpret or implement required policies incorrectly.
 
We follow generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the United States in preparing our financial statements. As part of this work, we must make many estimates and judgments about future events. These affect the value of the assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses that we report in our financial statements. We believe these estimates and judgments are reasonable, and we make them in accordance with our accounting policies based on information available at the time. However, actual results could differ from our estimates, and this could require us to record adjustments to expenses or revenues that could be material to our financial position and results of operations in future periods.
 
The obligations associated with being a public company require significant resources and management attention, which may divert from our business operations.
 
We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we establish and maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. As a result, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. Furthermore, the need to establish the corporate infrastructure demanded of a public company may divert management's attention from implementing our growth strategy, which could prevent us from improving our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have made, and will continue to make, changes to our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and accounting systems to meet our reporting obligations as a stand-alone public company. However, the measures we take may not be sufficient to satisfy our obligations as a public company. In addition, we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur in order to comply with these requirements.
 
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, starting with this, the second annual report that we are required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In connection with the implementation of the necessary procedures and practices related to internal control over financial reporting, we may identify additional deficiencies. We may not be able to remediate any future deficiencies imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. In addition, failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.
 
Risks Related to Our Securities
 
Anti-Takeover, Limited Liability and Indemnification Provisions
 
Some provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws may deter takeover attempts, which may limit the opportunity of our stockholders to sell their shares at a favorable price.
 
Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws. Under our certificate of incorporation, our Board of Directors may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock. Any additional issuance of common stock could have the effect of impeding or discouraging the acquisition of control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, including a transaction in which our stockholders would receive a premium over the market price for their shares, and thereby protects the continuity of our management. Specifically, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the Board of Directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in our best interest, shares could be issued by our Board of Directors without stockholder approval in one or more transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover by:
 
 
21

 
 
 
diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group,
 
 
putting a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the incumbent Board of Directors, or
 
 
effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover.
 
Our certificate of incorporation also allows our Board of Directors to fix the number of directors in the bylaws. Cumulative voting in the election of directors is specifically denied in our certificate of incorporation. The effect of these provisions may be to delay or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder may determine to be in his or its best interest, including attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by the stockholders.
 
Delaware Anti-Takeover Law. We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law concerning corporate takeovers. This section prevents many Delaware corporations from engaging in a business combination with any interested stockholder, under specified circumstances. For these purposes, a business combination includes a merger or sale of more than 10% of our assets, and an interested stockholder includes a stockholder who owns 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock, as well as affiliates and associates of these persons. Under these provisions, this type of business combination is prohibited for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder unless:
 
 
the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder is approved by the Board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder attained that status;
 
 
on consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder’s becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction was commenced, excluding those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers; or
 
 
on or subsequent to that date, the business combination is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
 
This statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us.
 
Limited Liability and Indemnification. Our certificate of incorporation eliminates the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duty as directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. This limitation does not affect the availability of equitable remedies, such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our certificate of incorporation requires us to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Delaware law.
 
Under Delaware law, we may indemnify our directors or officers or other persons who were, are or are threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding because the person is or was our director, officer, employee or agent, if we determine that the person:
 
 
conducted himself or herself in good faith, reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity as our director or officer, that his or her conduct was in our best interests, and, in all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to our best interests; and
 
 
in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
 
 
22

 
 
These persons may be indemnified against expenses, including attorney’s fees, judgments, fines, including excise taxes, and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred, by the person in connection with the proceeding. If the person is found liable to the corporation, no indemnification will be made unless the court in which the action was brought determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity in an amount that the court will establish. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the above provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
Absence of a public market for the securities offered hereby will lack liquidity.
 
There is currently no public market for any of the Company’s securities and there can be no assurance that a public market will develop in the future. In the event there is no active trading market for the Company’s securities, an investor may be unable to liquidate an investment in the shares and, therefore, should be prepared to bear the economic risk of an investment in the shares for an indefinite period and to withstand a total loss of investment. Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act requires, among other conditions, a six month holding period prior to the resale of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements of the Securities Act. In the event we do not have sufficient financial and human resources in the future, we may not be able to fulfill our reporting requirements under the Exchange Act or disseminate to the public any current financial or other information concerning the Company, as required by Rule 144 as one of the conditions of its availability. In such event we will not be absolved from liability for our failure to file these reports.
 
If our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, which is not a national securities exchange, it may be detrimental to investors
 
We were previously approved for a listing of our shares of common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board maintained by FINRA, however have no present intention to have our securities publicly traded. Although there is currently no market for our securities, securities traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, as compared to the national securities exchanges, generally have limited trading volume and exhibit a wide spread between the bid/ask quotations. We cannot predict whether a more active market for our common stock will develop in the future. In the absence of an active trading market: investors may have difficulty buying and selling our common stock or obtaining market quotations; market visibility for our common stock may be limited; and a lack of visibility for our common stock may have a depressive effect on the mark price for our common stock.
 
Preferred Stock as an anti-takeover device
 
We are authorized to issue an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.10 par value.  As of date of this Prospectus, there were, 3,255.375 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding convertible into approximately 3,831,376 shares of common stock, 2,146 shares of Series B Preferred Stock convertible into approximately 2,525,842 Shares of Common Stock, and 5,000 shares of Series C Preferred stock convertible into 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock.  The Company has also authorized 6,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock convertible into 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 320 of which shares of Series D Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding as of January 12, 2015 convertible into 160,000 shares of Common Stock.  The preferred stock may be issued from time to time with such designation, voting and other rights, preferences and limitations as our Board of Directors may determine by resolution. Unless the nature of a particular transaction and applicable status require such approval, the Board of Directors has the authority to issue these shares without stockholder approval subject to approval of the holders of our preferred stock. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without any further action by our stockholders.
 
Our common stock will be subject to restrictions on sales by broker-dealers and penny stock rules, which may be detrimental to investors.
 
Our common stock will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, which imposes certain sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell our common stock to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act). For transactions covered by this rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. This rule adversely affects the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and purchasers of our common stock to sell their shares of our common stock.
 
 
23

 
 
Additionally, our common stock will be subject to SEC regulations applicable to “penny stocks.” Penny stocks include any non-exchange listed equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The regulations require that prior to any non-exempt buy/sell transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule proscribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market must be delivered by a broker-dealer to the purchaser of such penny stock. This disclosure must include the amount of commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current price quotations for our common stock. The regulations also require that monthly statements be sent to holders of a penny stock that disclose recent price information for the penny stock and information of the limited market for penny stocks. These requirements adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock.
 
A significant number of our shares are eligible for sale, and their sale could depress the market price of our stock.
 
Sales of a significant number of shares of common stock in the public market pursuant to a current prospectus could harm the market price of our common stock. Pursuant to this registration statement, an aggregate of 23,387,488 shares of common stock are being registered, all of which would be free-trading upon resale after the effective date of this Registration Statement.  As additional shares of our common stock become available for resale in the public market, the supply of our common stock will increase, which could decrease its price. Some or all of the shares of our common stock may be offered from time to time in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, and these sales may have a depressive effect on the market for the shares of our common stock. In general, a non-affiliated person who has held restricted shares for a period of six months, under Rule 144, may sell into the market our common stock all of their shares, subject to the Company being current in its periodic reports filed with the SEC. An affiliate may sell an amount equal to the greater of 1% of the outstanding shares or, if listed on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange, the average weekly number of shares sold in the last four weeks prior to such sale. Such sales may be repeated once every three months, and any of the restricted shares may be sold by a non-affiliate without any restriction after they have been held the year.
 
Investors may experience substantial dilution of their ownership in the future.
 
Pursuant to the Company’s Stock Option Plan, employees, directors and independent contractors may acquire up to an aggregate of 1,171,630 shares (as amended on January 1, 2015) of the Company’s common stock through the exercise of stock options that may be granted in the future of which 855,000 options are issued and outstanding.  The Company’s stockholders will incur dilution upon exercise of such options. In addition, as of January 12, 2015, there were currently outstanding Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D warrants to purchase approximately 3,831,576, 2,525,842, 2,000,000 and 40,000 shares of common stock, respectively, and Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into approximately 3,831,576, 2,525,842, 4,000,000 and 160,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, plus placement agent warrants to purchase approximately 3,107,203 shares of common stock and vendor warrants to purchase 800,000 shares of Common Stock. The mere existence of these derivative securities may have a depressive effect on any market for our common stock which may develop.
 
In addition, if the Company raises additional funds by issuing additional stock in one or more additional financings, further dilution to stockholders will result, and new investors may have rights superior to existing stockholders.
 
The Company’s officers, directors and principal stockholders may be able significantly to influence matters requiring stockholder approval because they own, and will continue to own, a large percentage of the Company’s outstanding shares, even after this Offering.
 
The Company’s founder, Bruce Meyers, who is the CEO of Meyers Associates, a FINRA member firm, Dr. Lawrence Helson, CEO of the Company, and Dr. Arthur Bollon, Director, beneficially own 5,465,283, 2,310,000 and 800,000 shares, respectively, an aggregate of 8,575,283 shares or approximately 35% of the 24,681,305 outstanding voting securities of the Company. These stockholders will be able to exercise control over substantially all matters requiring approval by the Company’s stockholders, including the election of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions, which includes their ability to amend the Certificate of Incorporation, approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with another company or approve the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company without the agreement of minority stockholders. This concentration of ownership may not be in the best interests of all of the Company’s stockholders. See “Principal Stockholders.”
 
 
24

 
 
Meyers Associates, L.P. and its principals are subject to disciplinary proceedings from FINRA in connection with, among other things, previous offerings of the Company’s securities.
 
Meyers Associates, L.P. (“Meyers”), the Company’s placement agent, as well as Bruce Meyers (“B. Meyers”) and Imtiaz Khan (“Khan”), two of the principals of Meyers (collectively, the “Principals”), are subject to pending disciplinary proceeding from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). On October 6, 2014, FINRA filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) alleging, among other things, the violation of certain rules of FINRA and the National Association of Securities Dealers (“NASD”) and federal securities laws in connection with Meyers’ prior offerings of the Company’s securities as well as Meyers’ general operations.  The Complaint has nine (9) separate causes of action, which include the following:
 
 
1.
Unregistered public offerings in contravention of Section 5 of the Securities Act and FINRA Rule 2010, against Meyers and B. Meyers, in connection with the manner that Meyers allegedly solicited prospective investors in the Company’s Series A Offering in violation of the prohibition on general solicitation for private placements;
 
 
2.
Advertising Violations in violation of NASD Conduct Rule 2210 and FINRA Rule 2010, against Meyers and B. Meyers, in connection with the alleged omission of material information in solicitation material and misleading statements to prospective investors;
 
 
3.
Rule 5122 Violation (FINRA Rules 5122 and 2010) against Meyers, in connection with an alleged failure to comply with the rules of a “member private offering” under FINRA Rule 5122 during the Company’s Series B Offering, as Meyers was a control entity because Meyers, B. Meyers, and Khan collectively owned more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding voting securities, including the alleged failure to timely file a private placement memorandum and other solicitation documents with FINRA;
 
 
4.
Inaccurate Books and Records in violation of Section 17(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rules 17a-3, 17a-4, and 17a-5 thereunder, NASD Conduct Rule 3110, and FINRA Rules 4511 and 2010 against Meyers, B. Meyers, and Khan, for alleged failure of B. Meyers and Khan to identify personal expenses that were paid by Meyers and which were not recorded as compensation;
 
 
5.
Failure to Observe High Standards of Commercial Honor and Just and Equitable Principles of Trade by Falsifying Tax Form W-2 in violation of FINRA Rule 2010 against Meyers, B. Meyers, and Khan, for B. Meyers and Khan allegedly causing Meyers to compensate them, in part, by paying personal expenses which were not properly reported on their Forms W-2;
 
 
6.
Supervision of the Maintenance of Books and Records in violation of NASD Conduct Rule 3010 and FINRA Rule 2010 against Meyers and B. Meyers, for an alleged failure to establish and maintain a system to supervise the activities of employees and representatives in connection with the recording of payments for B. Meyers and Khan’s expenses;
 
 
25

 
 
 
7.
Supervisory Review of Electronic Communications in violation of NASD Conduct Rules 3010 and 2110 and FINRA Rule 2010 against Meyers, for alleged failure to properly supervise and review Meyers’ electronic correspondence and Meyers not having adequate written supervisory procedures with respect to electronic communications;
 
 
8.
Failure to Report Customer Complaints in violation of NASD Conduct Rules 3070 and 2110 and FINRA Rule 2010 against Meyers, in connection with Meyers’ alleged failure to report various customer complaints to FINRA;
 
 
9.
Deficient Supervisory Control Procedures in violation of NASD Conduct Rule 3012 and FINRA Rule 2010 against Meyers, in connection with Meyers’ alleged failure to establish, maintain, and enforce reasonable written supervisory control policies and procedures regarding various aspects of the firm’s operations.
 
FINRA is seeking sanctions which may include a suspension and monetary sanctions under FINRA Rule 8310(a), an order that Meyers and the Principals bear the cost of proceedings under FINRA Rule 8330, as well as specific findings that Meyers willfully committed the alleged violations and violated Exchange Act Section 17, and Rule 17a-3, 17a-4, and 17a-5 thereunder. Meyers and the Principals have answered the Complaint which they maintain is without merit and that they will contest the enforcement action vigorously. However, if FINRA ultimately prevails in this action, of if Meyers or the Principals admit or concede any of FINRA’s allegations, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company, as the enforcement action could prevent Meyers from helping the Company raise additional funds from investors.

If you purchase shares offered hereby, your ownership interest will be diluted. “Dilution” is the difference between the public offering price of the common stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after the Offering. “Net tangible book value” is the amount that results from subtracting our total liabilities and intangible assets from our total assets. As of September 30, 2014, we had a net tangible book value for our 14,123,887 shares of common stock outstanding of $303,138, or approximately $0.02 per share. There will be no change in our net tangible book value as a result of the Offering, as we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares offered hereby. However, there will be an immediate dilution of approximately $1.98 per share to public investors, as the difference between the $2.00 per share public offering price and the $0.02 per share net tangible book value.

Research and Development fees in Fiscal 2012 included $34,739 paid to University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center (“UTMDACC”) for non-clinical and mouse pre-clinical non-GLP studies of liposomal curcumin.  Other major research and development expenses included payments to Polymnun, Nucro Technology, University of North Texas, Dr. Robert Heinz, Johns Hopkins University, Medizinche University and Regis Pharmaceuticals for, $271,773, $174,297, $115,781, $61,273, $40,866, and $240,567, respectively, for lab fees and other costs related to the Company’s research and development efforts.
  
The amount paid for research and development in the 2013 Period consisted of payments for overhead and patent fees for non-clinical studies and pre-clinical studies in the nanocurcumin compound and to produce polymer under the JHU Agreement for animal studies of nanocurcumin.  During Fiscal 2011, the Company paid UTMDACC for non-clinical and mouse pre-clinical pre-GLP studies of liposomal curcumin.  It also includes expenses relating to development of depotcurcumin, a slow release formulation. Curcumin-ER was originally made at UNT under non-GLP conditions from curcumin extract (and PLGA, a chemical surrounding the curcumin) originally purchased from a U.S. chemical supplier, Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals (“SAFC”).
 
As a result of the foregoing, the Company had a net loss of $1,956,872 in Fiscal 2013 as compared to a net loss of $1,310,934 in Fiscal 2012.  The Company recorded a deemed dividend, due to the extension of several warrant, in the amount of $2,445,621. The amount of loss attributable to common shareholders for the calendar year 2013 is $4,402,493.  This translates to a loss per share of ($0.34) in Fiscal 2013 compared to ($0.10) in Fiscal 2012.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. The list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management’s judgment in their application. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Note that our preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
As of the date of this disclosure, the Company has yet to recognize revenues. As the Company continues to develop and implement its business plan, revenue from the performance of services or sale of products will be recognized in accordance with FASB codification standards. Revenue will be recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is provided, and collectability is assured.
 
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
 
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with FASB codification standards. The standard requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
 
Income Taxes
 
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted FASB codification regarding the required tax asset benefit computations for net operating losses carry forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these consolidated financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
 
 
33

 
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB codification standards, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow risks or market-risks that may affect the fair values of its financial instruments. The Company utilizes various types of financing to fund our business needs, including preferred stock with warrants attached and other instruments not indexed to our stock. The Company is required to record its derivative instruments at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings in accordance with ASC 815.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments 
 
In accordance with ASC 820, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
 
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. 
 
 Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
 
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of September 30, 2014, on a recurring basis:

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a description of the valuation methodology used to measure fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
 
Derivative Liability: Market prices are not available for the Company's warrants nor are market prices of similar warrants available. The Company assessed that the fair value of this liability approximates its carrying value since carrying value has been adjusted to fair value.
 
The method described above may produce a current fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. If a readily determined market value became available or if actual performance were to vary appreciably from assumptions used, assumptions may need to be adjusted, which could result in material differences from the recorded carrying amounts. The Company believes its method of determining fair value is appropriate and consistent with other market participants. However, the use of different methodologies or different assumptions to value certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value.
 
Plan of Operations
 
Manufacturing of GMP grade synthesized curcumin is continuing at Sami labs, in India. Over 4.3 kilograms of the active principle was sent to Dalton Pharma Services in Canada for analytical and continuing stability testing. Aliquots of curcumin are sent to Polymun Scientific in Austria to manufacture the formulated GMP grade liposomal curcumin product. The product is further analyzed for endotoxins in Gibraltar Labs in New Jersey, and for release kinetics at Northern Lipids in Canada. The final product has been used in 45 human normal subjects in a Phase Ia ascending dose trial in Austria. Based upon these data, a Phase Ib clinical trial is ongoing in Austria: accruing as of this date 12 cancer patients who progressed on standard of care therapy.
 
In the US, following discussions and suggestions by the FDA, an IND for liposomal curcumin in a Phase Ib trial was approved in the second quarter 2014. The first indication will be for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who have progressed on standard of care therapy.
 
Following allowance of the protocol by the FDA, a second liposomal curcumin indication, for progressive Parkinson’s disease will be submitted to the FDA for a Phase II trial at Thomas Jefferson University.
 
A veterinary application of liposomal curcumin in dogs with progressive cancer was initiated during the 1st Quarter of 2014 at U.C. Davis and is continuing six dogs are under study.
 
Preclinical Non-GLP formulated product underwent repeat efficacy trials in mice with xeno-transplanted human NSCLC tumors with a 52% reduction in growth of tumor observed after six weeks.Non-clinical scale-up manufacturing of GMP grade Liposomal-PLGA-curcumin (Curcumin-ER): and extended release formulation at Sami Labs in India and research is planned for the 2nd Q 2015.

The liposome composed of DMPC and DMPG was initially discovered to prevent curcumin induced cardiac arrhythmias in  in vitro , in ex vivo studies in rabbit models, and in vivo in rabbit models challenged with clinically approved QTc prolonging anticancer drugs, Crizotinib and Nilotinib. Additional studies of anticancer QTc prolonging drugs and liposome mitigation are current in the 4th quarter, 2014. Additional exploration of the molecular mechanism of action of the liposome, its component lipids, and metabolites in the cardiac potassium channel is planned for the 4th quarter 2014 in a collaborative study with Avanti Polar Inc., IPS Therapeutique, Canada. The optimum compound of oral formulations with a eutectic mixture and DMPC,DMPG, LysoPC ,LysoPG and EGPG are being studied at IPS therapeutic to decide upon a lead compound to take into the clinic. Animal toxicology  at Nucro Technics Inc. in 1st Q 2015 will follow.
 
The effects of liposomal curcumin on mercury poisoning in mice are being explored  at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia in the 4th Quarter of 2014.

BUSINESS
Business
 
SignPath is a clinical stage biotechnology company founded in May 2006 to develop synthesized proprietary formulations of curcumin, a naturally occurring compound found in the root of the Curcuma longa Linn (turmeric) plant, for applications in human diseases. The Company is a publicly held non-traded Delaware corporation.
 
Curcumin has an extensive history as an oral medicinal product with safe human use, but its potential therapeutic benefits have been limited by its low absorption (the amount of active drug reaching lesioned tissue) when taken orally, as well as its inactivation in the liver (due to hepatic glucuronidation or sulfation) and “hydro-phobic” nature whereby it is not soluble in water or blood. SignPath has developed and received approval in June 2014 from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) of its Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application, and in Europe for an Investigated Medical Product Dossier (“IMPD”) for parenterally (taken into the body in a manner other than the digestive tract) administered curcumin, allowing curcumin to be administered intravenously and delivered to diseased sites with minimal inactivation. We believe that the liposomes, liposomal curcumin, and liposomal-PLGA-curcumin formulations we have licensed based on management’s experience and the opinions of our consultants may be useful in the treatment of cancer, diabetes and neurologic disorders. The Company is developing two different intravenous/subcutaneous nano-particle sized formulations and a specific liposome application. Proof of efficacy of these compounds against human tumor xenografts in mice and prevention of cardiac arrhythmias was patent submitted and published. During IND mandated pre-clinical toxicity trials in dogs with liposomal curcumin, a dose-dependent hemolysis was observed, allowing us to identify a safe dose level, hence, allowing specific dose/schedules of administration for clinical trials in dogs and humans.
 
SignPath has licensed three proprietary intravenous formulations containing curcumin as the active therapeutic agent. The first is a liposomal version licensed from University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (“UTMDACC”) which is currently in Phase Ib clinical trials in Salzburg, Austria; the second is a nanosized version licensed from the Johns Hopkins University (“JHU”); and the third is an extended release Liposomal-PLGA formulation (curcumin-ER) licensed from the University of North Texas Health Science Center. The Company’s near term (next 12 months) goals are to complete preclinical development of curcumin-ER, to file a second IND and to begin Phase I trials for safety and dosage studies in patients with cancer under its initial IND approved in June 2014. The complete dossier for liposomal curcumin, our first formulation was submitted to the European Medicines Agency (the “EMA”) on June 8, 2011 for Phase Ia clinical trials and was completed in October 2012. The Company believes its licensed synthetic chemical formulations of curcumin will replace the naturally occurring extract mixture of curcuminoids, and its discovery of the anti-arrhythmia effects of its liposomes will render them potentially patentable; patents for liposomal curcumin and nanocurcumin have already been issued. The Company plans to develop these new products which potentially will give SignPath proprietary curcumin preparations with applications in the treatment for a broad spectrum of neoplastic, neurologic, and metabolic indications.
 
The Company has assembled leaders experienced in pharmacologic development of natural products to advise it on the development of its curcumin formulations. This Scientific Advisory Board is comprised of individuals with specific experience with natural products, formulation development, neoplastic, metabolic and neurologic disorders. Expertise in analytical chemistry will come from commercially based product chemists. Drug development will be overseen by Lawrence Helson MD, Chief Executive Officer, an oncologist with 25 years of pharmaceutical development experience; Anirban Maitra, PhD, MPPH, of UTMDACC, who has expertise in nanotechnology, development of nano, and liposomal curcumin testing for antitumor effects; Judith A. Smith, PhD, director of the UTMDACC preclinical development group for the liposomal formulation and Jamboor Vishwanatha of University of North Texas Health Science Center who has experience with extended release formulations.
 
The Company’s Scientific Advisory Board members all bring relevant experience to the Company. Professor Tauseef Ahmad, MD is an experienced principal investigator for lymphoma, myeloma and solid tumor studies. Dr. Peter P. Sordillo, who joined our Scientific Advisory Board in 2013, is on the Staff of Medical Oncology and Hematology at Lenox Hill Hospital, New York as an experienced Oncologist. See “Management” below for more information about our management team and Scientific Advisory Board members.
 
Clinical application strategies will be based upon the advice of the individuals serving on the Scientific Advisory Board, all of whom have academic and practical experience in biopharmaceutical development. As described below, we expect that our Phase I and II clinical trials will be run by contract clinical research organizations in Europe and the United states.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, and the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company expended $939,296, $841,502, and $1,546,500, respectively, for net research and development. None of these expenses were borne by customers as the final products are not commercially available. They consisted primarily of payments made to commercial and academic institutions.
 
Target Markets
 
The anticipated markets for therapeutic curcumin are diseases for which current therapeutic alternatives are not satisfactory or unavailable. There are several malignant diseases which are classified as orphan indications, defined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") as conditions with less than 200,000 patients in the United States. Some of these conditions exhibit dependency upon NF-kB (NF-kappaB, a family of intracellular proteins), a signaling pathway component inhibited by curcumin. 1   Two such indications are lung and pancreatic cancers. The Company currently plans to pursue the development and testing of therapies with parenterally-administered curcumin to address non-small cell lung and other cancers, in which current treatment is only marginally effective or could be greatly improved. Additional indications are Parkinson’s disease and drug-induced cardiac arrhythmias.
 
Preclinical and animal studies conducted by other scientists of curcumin-based treatments in cancer therapy suggest it may have an application as a parenteral drug for both prophylaxis and therapy. 2  While these preclinical data show potentially beneficial activity and exhibit multiple mechanisms of action, the parenteral route has not yet been tried in controlled human clinical trials. Current trials with oral curcumin by academic research groups at various stages of pre-clinical and clinical development have limited efficacy. The Company’s goals differ in that it intends to establish the safety and efficacy of parenteral curcumin in patients.
 
While our focus is on lung cancer, subsequent studies may consider pancreatic cancer an unmet clinical need and the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths, accounting for an estimated 45,600 deaths annually in the United States, according to published reports found in Burro, H.A. et al. This cancer is largely resistant to the current approved drug, gemcitabine, and results in an objective tumor response in less than 10% of patients resulting in a minor impact on survival .3   Most patients with this diagnosis could be candidates for trials in combination with gemcitabine, or trials of curcumin alone as a second line therapy.
 
The annual incidence of lung cancer is approximately over 200,000 cases in the United States and about 170,000 deaths. Lung cancer researchers have shown an increased expression of curcumin-sensitive signaling pathways, which the Company believes may make it susceptible to therapy with our product candidate. Based upon pre-clinical studies conducted by SignPath scientists with our active principle and other scientists with curcumin extracts, we believe the potential patient population could include the majority of these patients following failure of standard treatment, or as testing advances, in combination therapy or as a first line single-agent.
 
Other potential susceptible tumor types are lung cancer, primary and metastatic brain tumors and lymphoma in adults. The market for glioblastoma multiforme and other malignant gliomas has an incidence of about 17,000 per year, or 59 per million of the population, according to the scientific literature. 4   Although this represents just 2% of cancer deaths in the United States, survival rates are low and cost of treatment is high. Following standard therapy, the median survival of glioblastoma patients is 9 to 11 months with less than 5% of patients alive after 5 years. In addition, metastases to the brain from other sites affect an estimated 75,000 patients per year and have very poor survival rates, making primary and metastatic brain tumors a clear unmet need. The annual incidence of lymphoma is approximately 66,000 cases in the United States. Multiple myeloma is responsible for 10% to 20% of the lymphoma malignancies, with skeletal involvement in about 80% of the patients 5 .  Lymphoma researchers have shown an increased expression of the curcumin-sensitive signaling pathway, which the Company believes may make it susceptible to therapy with our product candidates. Lung cancer affects 175,000 persons in the United States. In our drug distribution trials in dogs we observed large amounts of liposomal curcumin collected in the lung tissues following both 2 hour and 8 hour infusions, suggesting that lung disorders would be appropriate clinical targets.

The Company believes that its parenteral formulations of curcumin can be compared with standard of care when used in combination with front line standard chemotherapy in a number of diseases. Given the aging of the population with annual incremental growth in the number of prospective patients in chronic and acute disease categories, the Company believes a minimally toxic agent like curcumin could gain wide acceptance and usage.
 
SWOT Analysis
 
 
Strength:
 
Currently, six liposomal chemotherapeutics have received clinical approval and others are in clinical trials or undergoing preclinical evaluation. Liposomes exhibit low toxicity and improve the biopharmaceutical features and therapeutic index of drugs, thereby increasing efficacy and reducing side effects. Liposomal incorporation offers advantages for the delivery of chemotherapeutics which are metabolically unstable or poorly water-soluble. SignPath is a unique company developing parenteral curcumin administration methods because the oral route of administration of this compound lacks sufficient bioavailability for systemic disease therapy. The Phase Ib liposomal curcumin formulation was initiated a cancer patient in Salzburg, Austria in October 2013. Based upon initial observations we altered the infusion delivery method and shortened the infusion duration from 24 to 8 hours, the same procedure we plan to use in clinical trials in the United States. SignPath has a strong relationship with curcumin manufacture, analytics, regulatory and CRO groups in Canada, Europe, and in the United States.
       
     
There are 37 publications (See “Business” below) regarding our products, seven patents pending and four issued. The formulations may be applicable for diseases affecting large numbers of people. GMP synthesis renders the curcumin API 99.2% pure.
       
 
Weakness:
 
Contraindicated in patients with a pre-existing bleeding diathesis. When solubilized in alkaline media, and at high ambient light conditions it is instable. Intravenous administration can be safely done using gravity drip, or controlled syringe  infusions  rather than electronic impellent pumps which cause the product to precipitate in the infusion line.
       
 
Opportunity:
 
Curcumin can be applicable to unmet clinical indications including cancer, and neurologic disorders.  It can also be used in auto-immune, inflammatory diseases, mycoses, and parasitic diseases alone or in combination with other treatment modalities such as cytotoxics, and ionizing radiation.
       
 
 Threat:
 
None from established pharmaceutical companies worldwide.
 
Marketing Strategies
 
Curcumin has potential utility in over 5,000,000 patients in multiple clinical disorders assuming penetration in all potential markets. Our initial plan is to determine its efficacy in lung cancer, and Parkinson’s disease (over 1,200,000 patients). Used alone or in combination with other drugs or radiation treatments, we anticipate 10-50% of market share depending upon the indications chosen and responses in Phase II and Phase III clinical trials.
 
Curcumin is not a branded name because of extensive use as a spice for over 3,000 years. As data is developed we anticipate presenting this information at large international and disease specialty meetings, e.g., ASCO, and EMSO. Pricing and sales are too early to identify at this stage of development.
 
Product Overview
 
Background on Curcumin
 
Curcumin has been used primarily in its natural state in turmeric as an ingredient in foods for hundreds of years in India and the Asian subcontinent where it grows naturally. It also has a history of use as a medicinal extract .6
 
The history of curcumin includes oral human use for a variety of benign and malignant diseases. A body of published research explaining curcumin’s mechanisms of action at the cellular level supports its potential application in humans .7 8   In addition, there have been parenteral curcumin toxicology studies in mice and rats published by other researchers which support a finding of curcumin’s safety after oral application.

The problem that has limited the therapeutic potential of curcumin is that orally delivered curcumin has limited bioavailability. This is because, curcumin is inactivated as it passes through the intestinal wall. Lymphoma researchers have attributed its low efficacy to low levels of active drug reaching the bloodstream. Yet, uncontrolled clinical trials conducted by third parties have indicated that oral curcumin may have preventative clinical activity in several diseases, when taken over long periods of time, but not in established systemic diseases.
 
To address this problem, SignPath has developed parenteral formulations (administration that bypasses the gastrointestinal system) in the form of a liposomal version, a nanosized version, and a delayed release version. Predicated upon the dosage schedules, needs, and population demographics of different disease entities, the Company believes these curcumin-based treatments will be applicable for a broad spectrum of systemic diseases, i.e., proliferative malignant diseases and neurologic disorders. In addition, curcumin is believed to work as a chemopreventive agent in cancers of the bladder, colon, stomach, and skin based upon its established antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. 9
 
Brief Technology Background: Signal Transduction and Cellular Pathways Cells carry out many of their functions by responding to signals transmitted from the external environment. The surface of a cell has receptor proteins that span or cross the cell surface and bind to their targets with high specificity. When an external molecule binds to a surface receptor, it provides the signal to activate (turn on or turn off) critical cell processes.
 
Recent scientific breakthroughs have enabled these surface receptors and the internal pathways they control to become targets for drug development. Several companies have used these mechanisms to develop products that have reached the market or advanced to late stage clinical trials.
 
Once a cell signaling pathway is activated, a series of reactions (or cascade) occurs within the cell. Each step activates a specific protein in the pathway, and its active products initiate the activation of the next protein in the process. Some of the cellular processes that are controlled in this manner include inflammatory pathways, cell proliferation, cell survival, and cell death (apoptosis). Elevated levels of activated inflammatory and survival pathways have been correlated with many types of tumors, 10 and can also be markers for more severe disease and/or poor prognosis. Some pathways are associated with resistance to chemotherapy, translated as tumor cell survival in the presence of conventional chemotherapy. These are some of the many tumor cell characteristics that can make cancer a fatal disease.
 
SignPath is developing curcumin, a compound for which there are early indicators that it may be a compound that inhibits several cell survival pathways via blockade of specific signaling proteins called activating kinases. Two established pathway targets are known as NF-kB and AKT(1). The net effect when these pathways are inactivated is to turn off signals leading to cell metabolism, protein synthesis, proliferation and to activate signals leading to cell death via activation of downstream processes. These changes also alter other pathways, including STAT3, Survivin, TNFalpha, and MDR-1 pathways conferring resistance to chemotherapy.
 
SignPath believes inhibition of these critical intracellular survival pathways are good targets for drug development, and our management believes that curcumin is an attractive lead compound for further development due to its inhibition of major survival pathways and collateral effects of activating death pathways. It also prohibits inflammation and release of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-ά (alpha), inflammatory cells such as macrophages which are required for the development and spread of tumors. Recently it has been shown that activation of NF-kB (an intracellular protein) is a critical component in cellular responses to TOLL-receptor ligands (receptors that activate immune cell responses) and Interleukin-1 (a cytokine). The latter are implicated in the innate immune response promoting murine hepatocellular and colon carcinoma. 11  One of the established effects of curcumin is to inhibit NF-kB and subsequent TOLL-receptor ligand activity. Scientific studies have suggested that a drug that can inhibit these activated survival and inflammatory pathways should be able to stop the growth of cancer cells. Blocking inhibitors of death pathways are believed to shorten the cell’s ability to survive. 12
 
Liposome Encapsulation and Nanocurcumin
 
SignPath was developing nanosized formulations of curcumin which are now a fail-safe drug after development of the other formulations. The liposomal version is a lipid coating that encases the molecule. This increases solubility in serum, and increases the drug’s circulation time allowing more drug to reach tumor sites. In an extended release modification, pre-clinical studies of curcumin with human lung cancer xenotransplants in mice have been completed at the University of North Texas (see below) and published.

Mechanism of Action
 
Curcumin’s molecular mechanisms of action involve direct and indirect inhibition or activation of multiple biochemical targets in cells. These include genes, enzymes, proteins, and, particularly, many components of up-regulated cell survival and down-regulated cell death pathways. These activities result in decreased inflammatory and/or oxidative damage, decreased migration, proliferation and invasion of tumor cells, decreased radio- and chemoresistance, and increased chemosensitivity to cytotoxic drugs. These observations suggest the potential to treat several diseases with large potential markets, with an economically feasible product.
 
Cancer: Less than 1% of an oral dose of curcumin is absorbed; yet in spite of this extreme limitation, there are publications that suggest preventative anti-cancer activity of orally administered curcumin 13.    More substantial evidence for anticancer activity is suggested from in vitro and animal experiments. Its anticancer effects include promoting apoptosis (cell death pathways) and down regulation of major pro-survival factors, including AKT, NF-kB, STAT-3, and Survivin signaling pathways. We, therefore, believe that commercial application of parenteral curcumin formulations for cancers which depend upon NF-kB (such as pancreatic cancer) represent prime candidates for Phase II trials assuming successful preclinical and Phase I trials. Many other cancers such as brain tumors are also dependent upon AKT, NF-kB, and survival pathways which may render them additional potential clinical targets.14
 
Government Regulation
 
Regulation by governmental authorities in the United States and other countries is a significant hurdle in the development, manufacture and marketing of pharmaceuticals, and in our ongoing research and development activities. All of our products will require regulatory approval by governmental agencies prior to commercialization. In particular, pharmaceutical drugs are subject to rigorous preclinical testing and clinical trials and other pre-marketing approval requirements by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and regulatory authorities in other countries. In the United States, various federal, and in some cases, state statutes and regulations also govern or impact upon the manufacturing, safety, labeling, storage, record-keeping and marketing of pharmaceutical products. The lengthy process of seeking required approvals and the continuing need for compliance with applicable statutes and regulations, require the expenditure of substantial resources.
 
Regulatory approval, when obtained for any of our product candidates may be limited in scope which may significantly restrict the indicated uses for which our product candidates may be marketed. Further, approved drugs and manufacturers are subject to ongoing review and discovery of previously unknown problems that may result in restrictions on their manufacture, sale or use or in their withdrawal from the market.
 
FDA Approval & Developmental Milestones
 
There are four primary phases of FDA clinical trials for an FDA new drug application (NDA) and approval for commercial sale. Before these can begin, non-clinical/pre-clinical laboratory studies are conducted and an Investigational New Drug application (IND) is submitted to the FDA. After FDA approval, the Company may begin Phase I clinical safety and dosage estimation studies, followed by Phase II studies to evaluated clinical efficacy in selected diseases, then Phase III testing to demonstrate statistically significant safety and efficacy and Phase IV pharmacovigilence designed to identify long-term effects of treatment.
 
During the pre-clinical phase (non-clinical and pre-clinical), a compound is studied in-vitro in a laboratory and in-vivo in laboratory animals to establish its stability, manufacturing feasibility, bioavailability, absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination. This phase of testing establishes pre-clinical parameters for clinical safety and efficacy.  Results of these pre-clinical trials comprise the IND that is submitted to the FDA for review before the drug is tested in humans. Phase I testing is a basic safety and dosage study to determine if the drug is safe enough to administer to patients with advanced diseases such as  pancreatic cancers, lymphomas and brain tumors.

During the initial Phase I, the drug must be tested in healthy human volunteers to determine a tolerable dosage regimen that is sufficiently safe to proceed with further testing in a larger group of diseased patients. Testing in disease-free volunteers can supply accurate estimates of safety and tolerability for application in persons with non-cancer indications, while testing in patients with pre-treated cancers designated Phase Ib can indicate different degrees of tolerance depending upon their past medical history.
 
In Phase II studies, the drug is tested in small number of patients with benign and/or malignant forms of disease to determine the doses at which the drug has clinical activity and to characterize the drug’s effects on the body. These effects include the drug’s dosage, efficacy, and side effect profiles.
 
Drugs that have a clinical benefit in Phase II trials move forward to additional clinical testing with a larger number of patients in Phase III trials. These trials verify Phase II results in a larger patient sample and must demonstrate statistically significant clinical benefits, as well as safety. Trial endpoints are designed to show a meaningful clinical effect over a predetermined timeframe. These timeframes depend on the disease being tested and can be in weeks, months, or years of treatment.
 
The drug being tested is typically compared with a placebo or the current standard of treatment to show that the drug is equal to (or an improvement upon) existing treatments. Once those studies have been completed, a new drug application (NDA) is prepared and submitted to the FDA for approval. Under FDA guidelines, the NDA should be answered within 10 months.  At such time, the FDA may inform the Company that a drug is approved or the application is approvable pending resolution of certain issues, or may require additional studies to be completed for approval.
 
Other Regulatory Requirements
 
Any products that are manufactured or distributed under FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including record-keeping requirements and reporting of adverse experiences with the products. Drug manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register with the FDA and, where appropriate, state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and state agencies for compliance with cGMP regulations which impose procedural and documentation requirements. Before approving a biologics license application, the FDA will inspect the facilities at which the product is manufactured (including both those of the applicant and any third-party component manufacturers) and will not approve the product unless the manufacturing facilities are in compliance with FDA’s cGMP, which are regulations that govern the manufacture, storage and distribution of a product. Manufacturers of biologics also must comply with FDA’s general biological product standards.
 
Following approval, the FDA periodically inspects drug and biologic manufacturing facilities to ensure continued compliance with the cGMP regulations. We must ensure that any third-party manufacturers continue to expend time, money and effort in the areas of production, quality control, record keeping and reporting to ensure full compliance with those requirements. Failure to comply with these requirements subjects the manufacturer to possible legal or regulatory action, such as suspension of manufacturing or recall or seizure of product. Adverse experiences with the product must be reported to the FDA and could result in the imposition of marketing restrictions through labeling changes or market removal. Product approvals may be withdrawn if compliance with regulatory requirements is not maintained or if problems concerning safety or efficacy of the product occur following approval.
 
The FDA also closely regulates the marketing and promotion of drugs. A company can make only those claims relating to safety and efficacy that are approved by the FDA. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available drugs for uses that are not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such off-label uses are common across medical specialties. Physicians may believe that such off-label uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate the behavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of off-label use.
 
 
41

 
 
The FDA’s policies may change and additional government regulations may be enacted which could prevent or delay regulatory approval of product candidates or approval of new indications for our existing products. We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of adverse governmental regulations that might arise from future legislative or administrative action, either in the United States or abroad.
   
In addition, the labeling, advertising, promotion, marketing and distribution of a drug or biologic product also must be in compliance with FDA and U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) requirements which include, among others, standards and regulations for off-label promotion, industry sponsored scientific and educational activities, promotional activities involving the internet, and direct-to-consumer advertising. The FDA and FTC have very broad enforcement authority, and failure to abide by these regulations can result in penalties, including the issuance of a warning letter directing the Company to correct deviations from regulatory standards and enforcement actions that can include seizures, injunctions and criminal prosecution.
 
Other Uses of Curcumin
 
There are other potential uses of curcumin in addition to our initial focus on lung cancer and Parkinson’s disease. Following our clinical trials in these two categories, we will seek to study other cancer candidates which have an AKT or NF-kB requirement for survival and proliferation, such as breast and brain cancers. The unique protean activity of curcumin also suggests its use with other cancer treatment modalities. For example, it may increase tumor cell susceptibility to standard treatment with radiation or chemotherapy, and prevent adverse reactions from other drugs used to treat non-cancer conditions.
 
Because of the protean nature of curcumin’s interaction with different cell components, and based upon data derived from traditional use and non-clinical and pre-clinical laboratory studies, we believe it may have a therapeutic role in numerous non-cancer indications, including neurologic disorders.
 
To expand its use for Parkinson’s disease, a research grant was received for approximately $82,000 from the Michael J. Fox Parkinson’s Disease Foundation to measure parenteral liposomal curcumin and the other two formulations passage across the blood brain barrier and focal cerebral distributions in rat brains in collaboration with Dr. S. Chiu at the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Western Ontario, Canada. Data, to date, has revealed intravenous curcumin localized in specific brain regions associated with Parkinson’s disease (striatum and substantial nigra pars compacta) and memory processing (hippocampus). In a subsequent study based upon these data an intravenous liposomal curcumin formulation was effective in blocking progression of brain neuronal death in DJ-1 knockout rats (genetically designed to develop early Parkinson’s disease signs and symptoms). Metabolomic analyses of Parkinson’s-related brain domains in these same rats has been completed and showed significant and specific effects related to amelioration of the disease. These observations indicate that curcumin may be effective in patients with Parkinson’s disease and potentially in other neurologic disorders. The Company’s three different (liposomal, polymeric and slow release PLGA) intravenous nanoparticle size formulations have demonstrated proof of efficacy of these formulations against human tumor xenografts in mice. During IND pre-clinical toxicity trials in dogs, with liposomal curcumin, a dose-dependent hemolysis was observed. It suggested specific dose/schedules of administrations might be required for trials in humans. Follow up studies included in vitro testing of curcumin with human red blood cells revealed the concentrations of curcumin inducing hemolysis were greater than that necessary to mitigate tumors. A patent for preventing this activity has been issued.
 
The Company has reached an agreement in principle to enter into a Clinical Trial Research Agreement with Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (“TJU”).  Upon approval by the TJU board, TJU will study (the “Study”) the safety and/or efficacy of liposomal curcumin for progressive Parkinson’s disease.  The Study will be conducted by Dr. Jay Schneider at TJU’s Parkinson’s Disease Research Unit.  The Company is providing TJU with a protocol and supporting information necessary for TJU to conduct the Study.  All research data and results generated during the Study are the property of the Company.  The Company will make available sufficient quantities of curcumin to carry out the Study.  The Company shall retain all right, title and interest in any invention, discovery or improvement made during the course of, or as a result of, the Study.  The Company has the sole right to obtain patent protection, although any invention that extends beyond the research performed with the protocol shall belong to TJU with the Company negotiating an exclusive, royalty-bearing license to any invention for which a patent application is filed for a period of six (6) months commencing on the date of disclosure.
 
To broaden the intellectual property profile of parenteral curcumin, additional clinical uses of curcumin have been incorporated into CIP (continuation in progress) applications. Applications have been submitted to the Patent and Trademark Office which contain claims for additional therapeutic uses of curcumin. There is sufficient published data on curcumin and autoimmune diseases, degenerative diseases of the joints and the nervous system, inflammatory based diseases, aging, and diabetes to envision addressing these conditions with parenteral curcumin when final dosage and safety data from trials in disease free and cancer patients becomes available. During pre-clinical studies we observed that the liposomal component could prevent curcumin inhibition of ionic potassium currents in cell preparations. This has significant clinical implications for other drugs which block the potassium channels.
 
Clinical Trials
 
The Company submitted an IMPD to begin human Phase I clinical trials. Regulatory clearance was received in July 2011, and the first subjects were started on August 22, 2011. The clinical trials for liposomal curcumin use curcumin formulations made under GMP conditions by Polymun GmbH. As described below, the Company  entered into agreements with manufacturers of curcumin, liposomal curcumin, and polymers to produce sufficient quantities to complete all pre-clinical requirements for an IND. Agreements for additional quantities of both formulations for Phase Ib clinical trials will be initiated depending upon human dosage estimates generated in clinical studies. The Company plans to pursue three Phase Ib liposomal curcumin parenteral trials, two in cancer and one in neurologic diseased patients.
 
 
42

 
 
We have had discussions regarding participation in Phase Ib and II clinical trials during direct meetings with responsible physician investigators with the Central European Society for Anticancer Research and at cancer centers in the United States. All have had extensive experience with drug trials of anticancer drugs and are willing to participate in the proposed clinical studies.
 
These investigators include:
 
 
·
New York Medical College, Dr. T. Ahmad has had extensive experience as a Phase I, II, and III clinical trial investigator.
     
 
·
In Vienna, Austria, Dr. Michael Wolzt is in charge of Phase Ia clinical trials in normal volunteers. Our CEO inspected Dr. Wolzt's facilities in December 2007. To date 50 subjects have been entered into the clinical Phase Ia study of liposomal curcumin and a dose of 4.5 mg/kg was found to induce less than grade 1 hemolytic toxicity, and to reach blood concentrations that are within a therapeutic range.
:
 
·
Phase Ib trials in cancer patients are being carried out by the CESAR group, and these data will be used to bridge studies in the United States.
     
 
·
Phase Ib trials will be cancer patients who have failed standard of care therapy and elected experimental therapy.
     
  · Provided that the safety results of Phase Ib trials in cancer patients are satisfactory andwith FDA and EMA approvals, the Company anticipates the following Phase II trials:
  
 
·
Liposomal curcumin: Intravenous administration to lung cancer patients who fail standard therapy.
     
 
·
Liposomal curcumin: intravenous administration to patients with Parkinson’s disease who have progressed on standard therapy.
 
Market Analysis
 
The anticipated markets for therapeutic curcumin include populations with unmet medical needs, or as combinations with established drugs to enhance their activity in the presence of drug resistance. The preclinical studies of curcumin in cancer suggest its potential applications as a parenteral drug for both prophylaxis and therapy.
 
Given the aging of the population with an annual increment in the number of prospective patients in chronic disease categories, the Company believes a potentially effective and tolerable  parenteral curcumin could gain wide acceptance and usage.
 
 
43

 
 
As stated earlier, the Company is aware of pre-clinical data from other research suggesting that parenteral curcumin has anti-cancer activity .15
 
The new cases of cancer in the United States in 2009 were estimated at approximately 1,400,000 per year, according to the American Cancer Society, Inc. Surveillance Research. This is a large market with substantial room for improvement over current therapies.
 
Potential Commercialization of Liposomal Curcumin may also prove to be effective as prevention for high-risk individuals and as a therapeutic for established disease when used alone or in combination with other agents. As an initial approach we anticipate treating diseases with unmet needs. These include lung cancer and Parkinson’s disease. While there are current clinical trials with oral preparation of curcumin, we currently know of no competitors with publicly known plans to develop parenteral forms of curcumin. Management believes that the Company is positioned to leverage its rights to its licensed intellectual property of these parenteral products in the United States and worldwide.  Because the liposomal formulation and curcumin in turmeric extracts have been demonstrated by other researchers to be effective in animal studies, 16  we anticipate that synthesized curcumin could be more effective than the extract from turmeric when administered parenterally.
 
Assuming we obtain positive results from our clinical trials and ultimately receive FDA approval, the Company believes that these formulations of curcumin may be accepted by physicians for treating cancer and other diseases that fit within the efficacy profiles established by the Company.
 
Modification of water-insoluble drugs such as curcumin with specific liposomes represent a novel formulation process. There may be specific pharmacological advantages which could confer clinical and/or commercial value. The final cost of drug production will depend upon usage and economies of scale; however, we intend to adopt a strategy, if possible, to result in our products having a cost competitive with current medications for the intended applications.
 
The Company also expects to evaluate conducting potential additional development initiatives based on its licensed curcumin formulation to treat patients with neurologic diseases depending upon the results of the Phase Ib trials, clinical imperatives, and financial resources to carry them out.
 
Clinical application of parenteral administration of liposomal curcumin or nanosized curcumin may induce varied responses in the same disease or in different disease states. In addition, we anticipate different development and manufacturing costs, and ultimately different commercial remuneration in the different applications. These variations are attributed to demographic differences in applications such as pancreatic cancer and lymphoma.
 
The Company entered into a Liposomal Formulation Manufacturing Agreement, as amended, with Polymun Scientific Immunbiologische Forschung GmbH (“Polymun”), Vienna, Austria, dated as of September 6, 2007, which has been filed as an exhibit to the Company’s SEC filings. Pursuant to this agreement, Polymun applies their GLP process and experience to encapsulate pure synthetic curcumin provided by the Company with a layer of lipid particles (making a liposome formulation which can be injected intravenously). After testing for size, and stability, Polymun delivered the liposomal curcumin to the MD Anderson Cancer Center for intravenous animal Potential Commercialization of Liposomal Curcumin and Nanocurcumin toxicity testing. During this developmental process they have invented and developed a special assay to simultaneously quantify the content of lipids and curcumin in all batches they prepare. Polymun completed scaled-up GMP manufacture of the lipocurc formulation. The Company’s obligation to Polymun totaled €280,000 through the first two development stages and thereafter a €130,000 per production fee.  In August 2012, the Company entered into Amendment No. III with Polymun for the production of additional GDP batches of liposomes and the parties continue to work under the terms of the original agreement.  Polymun has produced liposomal curcumin for animal and human use.
 
Since liposomal curcumin is at an advanced stage of development and has completed EMA and IND requirements, the Company’s interest is to proceed with that product in its Phase Ib-II clinical studies.

Raw Materials; Supplies
 
Liposomal curcumin was manufactured for the Company by Polymun, Inc., of Vienna, Austria under the agreement described in the prior section. Curcumin was obtained initially from a U.S. chemical supplier, Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals (“SAFC”). The Company obtained one batch of 200 grams of GMP manufactured liposomal curcumin under an agreement dated June 30, 2007 with SAFC.  The total cost to the Company was $98,350. Sabinsa Inc. subsequently scaled-up manufacture of 98.2% pure curcumin under GMP for human use in Bangalore, India. FDA and EMA (European Medicines Agency) compliance and validations audits relating to the curcumin manufacturing facility in India were performed by Topaz Technology, Inc. of Bryn Mawr, PA under an agreement with the Company dated June 30, 2009, at a total cost of $24,500 which has been paid. Analysis of the 0.1% residue was completed at Chemic Labs, Massachusetts.. The Company’s supply from Sabinsa was made pursuant to purchase orders without a contract. There are very stringent new regulations concerning GMP by the EMA and the FDA.
 
At UTMDCC, GLP pharmacokinetic and toxicity studies of single and multi-dose intravenous liposomal curcumin in mice and rats were without evidence of toxicity at a maximal injectable volume. Dog pharmacokinetics and single ascending dose toxicity studies identified reversible hemolysis at a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and irreversible hemolysis at a significantly higher dose limiting level. In vitro studies with dog and human RBCs corroborated these observations using annexin V biomarker (a biochemical feature used to measure the progress of diseases or the effects of treatment), and a second independent set of studies at Xenometrics, USA indicated hemolytic sensitivity only at multiples of concentrations above those necessary for therapeutic effect. Multidose toxicological canine studies were completed at Nucro Technics, Canada based upon these studies, and were devoid of tissue toxicity. Body tissue distribution of liposomal curcumin and repeat pharmacokinetic studies of two hour and eight hour infusions were analyzed with a novel validated (patent applied) method for drug levels.

Agreement with Johns Hopkins University
 
In October, 2007, SignPath and Johns Hopkins University (“JHU”) entered into an exclusive license agreement under a provisional patent application (Serial No. 60,866/516) entitled “Biocompatible ‘Smart’ Nanogels as carriers for Hydrophobic drugs”. This application was submitted on November 20, 2006 by JHU for a nano-sized curcumin formulation called nano curcumin. Pursuant to the JHU License Agreement, SignPath has an exclusive worldwide license to manufacture, use, import and sell inventions and discoveries covered by the pending patent and associated technologies. SignPath may sublicense its rights under the JHU License Agreement, subject to terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. The JHU License Agreement shall continue until its expiration of the last to expire patent in each country, or if no patents issue, then for 20 years from the commencement of the agreement. The agreement is terminable for a breach which is not cured within 30 days after receipt of notice or by SignPath upon 90 days’ prior written notice. Title to all inventions and discoveries made by each party resulting from their research shall belong to each respective party with joint ownership of inventions and discoveries which are made jointly.
 
Under the terms of the JHU License Agreement, SignPath has agreed to exercise its best efforts file an IND with the FDA and to exercise reasonable efforts to develop and introduce the licensed products and services into the commercial market. In addition, the Company entered into a sponsored research agreement (the “SRA”) with Dr. Anirban Maitra then with JHU pursuant to which SignPath provided $100,000 of funding for the continuation of non-clinical and pre-clinical studies of the nanocurcumin compound and paid JHU indirect costs of $64,000.  The term of the SRA was one year ending on September 18, 2008 which was not extended.  All inventions which would be filed as a continuation patent under JHU’s patent application shall be subject to the JHU License Agreement.
 
SignPath was obligated under the JHU License Agreement to pay $50,000 in license fees which have been paid, plus minimum annual royalties increasing from $10,000 in the first two years to $25,000 in the third and fourth years and $30,000 in the fifth year. An aggregate of approximately $160,000 has been paid under this license agreement. The JHU License Agreement also provides that we will be obligated to pay JHU running royalty rates of two percent (2%) of net sales less than $250 million for licensed products covered by one or more claims in an issued patent, and three percent (3%) of net sales equal to or greater than $250 million for licensed products covered by one or more claims in an issued patent, or one and one half percent (1.5%) of net sales of licensed products not covered by an issued patent. The running royalties payable under the agreement are subject to a minimum annual rate. SignPath is also subject to other substantial payments, including all reasonable costs of patent reimbursement. The Company is obligated to make the following payments upon development milestones to JHU regardless of whether the milestone is achieved by the Company, a sublicensee or an affiliate: (1) $25,000 upon dosing the first patient with a licensed product in a Phase I clinical trial at a site other than JHU; (2) $50,000 upon dosing the first patient with a licensed patent in a Phase II clinical trial at a site other than JHU; (3) $25,000 upon dosing the first patient with the licensed patent in a Phase III clinical trial at a site other than JHU; (4) $250,000 upon first regulatory approval of the licensed patent, or $100,000 if no patent has issued; (5) $10,000 upon issuance of a patent sublicense fees (if applicable), and reimbursement of costs reasonably incurred by JHU in connection with the patent.

SignPath and JHU entered into an Exclusive License Agreement effective June 5, 2013 (the “2013 Agreement”) as a result of an invention developed during the course of research created under the above-described JHU License Agreement.  JHU granted the Company an exclusive worldwide license to use “a composite polymeric nanoparticle for overcoming multidrug resistance to cancer chemotherapeutics and treatment-related systemic toxicity.”  The license fee was $10,000 upon signing; $15,000 within one year; with minimum annual royalties starting in year three at $10,000; $20,000 in year four and $30,000 in year five and onward.  SignPath will also pay an earned royalty of 3% on sales to be reduced by the minimum annual royalty.  Royalties will be paid for a minimum of ten years from first commercial sale of the licensed product.  Milestone payments will be paid by the Company based upon dosing of first patents in Phases I, II, and III clinical trials and then upon regulatory approval, increasing from $25,000 to $150,000.  The 2013 Agreement will continue with the last to expire patent in each country, or if no patents are issued then 20 years from June 5, 2013, subject to earlier termination.
 
Agreements with the University of North Texas
 
On August 18, 2008, the Company entered into a Patent and Technology License Agreement with the University of North Texas (“UNT”) Health Science Center (the “UNT Agreement”). UNT granted the Company a royalty-bearing exclusive license to manufacture and sell products developed at UNT from depot curcumin. In consideration of the license, the Company agreed to pay an upfront license fee of $15,000, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for patent rights; an annual maintenance fee of $10,000 commencing on the first anniversary date of when the UNT Agreement was signed until the first to occur of (i) the seventh anniversary date of the contract signing; (ii) the first sale of a product to a non-affiliated third party; or (iii) the issuance of a patent which has been issued on June 28, 2011.  This Agreement was terminated effective September 24, 2012.
 
In November 2013, the Company entered into a Patent and Technology License Agreement (the “2013 Agreement”) with UNT on substantially the same terms as the earlier agreement for the hybrid nanoparticle liposome-PLGA and curcumin.  Under the 2013 Agreement, UNT granted the Company an exclusive license to manufacture and use the patent rights to the discoveries and inventions in Liposomal sustained release compounds created by the Company and UNT, as well as a non-exclusive license to any technology derived from the patents before this Agreement anywhere in the world for human and animal use, for the term of the patents, or 15 years, whichever is longer.  In exchange for the license, the Company will need to actively commercialize the patents throughout the world.  SignPath agreed to pay UNT a running royalty equal to 2.5% of net sales less than $250 million for licensed products covered by an issued patent; 3% of net sales equal to or greater than $250 million for licensed products covered by an issued patent, and 1.5% of net sales of licensed products not covered by an issued patent, subject to a reduction for amounts paid by SignPath to a third party to avoid infringing such third party’s patent rights; plus 20% of all non-royalty consideration received by the Company from any sublicensee.
 
While the Company and UNT are equal owners of patent rights, SignPath is responsible for preparing, filing, prosecuting, defending and maintaining patent rights made in the name of both parties.  The term of the agreement if for the full end of term(s) for which patent rights have not expired or for a term of 15 years, whichever is longer.  UNT has the right to terminate the license upon 90 days’ written notice if SignPath has not provided written evidence it is making diligent efforts to actively commercialize licensed products in specified political jurisdictions.
 
SignPath entered into a one-year Sponsored Research Agreement with UNT to study non-small cell lung cancer using curcumin ER.  The program is under the direction of Dr. Jamboor Vishwanatha.  SignPath agreed to pay UNT a sum of $116,000.  All inventions and discoveries resulting from the study shall remain with UNT.

Common Stock
 
Each share of common stock entitles its holder to one non-cumulative vote per share and, subject to the preferential rights of the preferred stockholders, if any, the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all the directors if they choose to do so, and in such event the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect a single director. Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as the Board of Directors may, from time to time, declare out of Company funds legally available for the payment of dividends. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive pro rata all of the assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders after the satisfaction of the liquidation preference of the preferred stockholders, if any. None of the stockholders have any pre-emptive rights to subscribe for or purchase any stock, warrants or other securities of the Company. The common stock is not convertible or redeemable. Neither the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation nor its By-Laws provide for pre-emptive rights.

Between November 25, 2008 and July 26, 2011, the Company completed the private placement of an aggregate of 3,255,375 Units of the Company’s securities, representing $3,255,375 principal amount of 6.5% Series A Preferred Stock  at $1,000 per Unit.  This was the first series of preferred Stock issued by the Company.  Each Unit consisted of:  $1,000 face value of one share of Preferred Stock, convertible at $.85 per share into 1,177 shares of common stock, with each share of Preferred Stock accruing an annual dividend of 6.5% or $65 per share payable annually in cash or shares of common stock at the option of the Company, unless earlier converted or redeemed.  Warrants included in the Units, as amended, are exercisable for five years from the date when the Common Stock is publicly traded at an exercise price of $1.27, payable in cash, unless the Company fails to keep the registration statement effective to purchase 1,177 shares of common stock.  A total of 3,255.30 shares of Preferred Stock were purchased in the offering, which are convertible into an aggregate of approximately 3,831,576 shares of common stock.  Of this amount, an aggregate of 3,382,357 shares have been registered for resale by 33 retail investors, which amount excludes 449,220 shares of common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock sold to the Placement Agent’s affiliates.
 
Rank.  The Preferred Stock ranks(i) senior to the common stock and any other class or series of the Company’s capital stock either specifically ranking by its terms junior to the Preferred Stock or not specifically ranking by its terms senior to or on parity with the Preferred Stock, (ii) on parity with any class or series of the Company’s capital stock specifically ranking by its terms on parity with the Preferred Stock, and (iii) junior to any class or series of capital stock specifically ranking by its terms senior to the Preferred Stock, in each case, as to payment of dividends or as to distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary.  The approval of the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock is required in order for the Company to issue any capital stock with rights on parity with or senior to the Preferred Stock.
 
Dividends.  The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive annual cumulative per share dividends of 6.5% of the liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock, out of funds legally available, prior to any payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock or any other class of stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock.  Such dividends are payable in cash or shares of common stock, at the option of the Company, semiannually on the last business day of February and August of each year (each a “Dividend Payment Date”), commencing in February 2009 with respect to the period from issuance through such date.  The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to share ratably with the holders of the common stock in any dividend declared on the common stock.
 
Dividends on the Preferred Stock will accrue whether or not the Company has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends and whether or not such dividends are declared.  Dividends accumulate to the extent they are not paid on the Dividend Payment Date to which they relate.  Accumulated unpaid dividends will not bear interest.  According to Delaware law, the Company may declare and pay dividends or make other distributions on its capital stock only out of legally-available funds.  In addition, no dividends or distributions may be declared, paid or made if the Company is or would be rendered insolvent by virtue of such dividend or distribution.
 
The Company may not (i) pay any dividends in respect of any shares of capital stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock (including the common stock), other than dividends payable in the form of additional shares of the same junior stock as that on which such dividend is declared, or (ii) redeem any shares of capital stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock (including the common stock), unless and until all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock have been, or contemporaneously are, declared and paid in full.
 
Conversion.  At the election of the holder thereof, each share of Preferred Stock will be convertible into common stock, at any time after issuance, at the Conversion Rate, as it may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with the Certificate of Designation.  The Preferred Stock will not convert automatically into Common Stock upon completion of this offering and only the underlying Common Stock issuable upon conversion is registered for the resale under this prospectus.  The Conversion Rate initially will be 1,177 shares of common stock ($.85 per share) for each Share of Preferred Stock.  Conversion Price is also subject to adjustment from time to time in the event of (i) the issuance of common stock as a dividend or distribution on any class of the Company’s capital stock; or (ii) the combination, subdivision or reclassification of the common stock.  No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion.  Payment of accumulated and unpaid dividends will be made upon conversion to the extent of legally-available funds.
 
 
71

 
 
The shares of Preferred Stock may also be converted into common stock at the Conversion Rate at the Company’s option following the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, if the Company’s common stock trades above 200% of the Conversion Rate per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days.
 
Voting Rights.  The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a class, shall be required to authorize, effect or validate (i) any change in the rights, privileges or preferences of the Preferred Stock that would adversely affect the Preferred Stock, or (ii) the authorization, creation, issuance or increase in the authorized or issued amount of any class or series of stock ranking on parity with or superior to the Preferred Stock with respect to the declaration and payment of dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our Company.  In addition, the holders of Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote, together with holders of common stock as single class, on all matters upon which the holders of common stock are entitled to vote pursuant to applicable Delaware law or the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.  The Preferred Stock shall vote on an “as converted basis” with each holder of Preferred Stock having one vote for each Conversion Share underlying such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock.
 
Liquidation.  In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company (whether capital or surplus), or the proceeds thereof, may be made or set apart for the holders common stock or any stock ranking junior to Preferred Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders, a liquidating distribution of $1,000 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.  If, upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company are insufficient to make the full payment of $1,000 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock and similar payments on any other class of stock ranking on a parity with the Preferred Stock upon liquidation, then the holders of Preferred Stock and such other shares will share ratably in any such distribution of the Company’s assets in proportion to the full respective distributable amounts to which they are entitled.  Certain events, including a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or sale or conveyance of all or substantially all the property and assets of the Company will be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company for purposes of the foregoing.
 
Miscellaneous.  The Company is not subject to any mandatory redemption or sinking fund provision with respect to the Preferred Stock.  The holders of the Preferred Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights to subscribe for or to purchase any shares or securities of any class which may at any time be issued, sold or offered for sale by the Company.  Shares of Preferred Stock redeemed or otherwise reacquired by the Company shall be retired and shall be unavailable for subsequent issuance as any class of the Company’s preferred stock.

The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment from time to time in the event of (i) the issuance of common stock as a dividend or distribution on any class of the Company’s capital stock; or (ii) the combination, subdivision or reclassification of the common stock, however, will not be adjusted for subsequent stock issuances below the Conversion Rate. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion. Payment of accumulated and unpaid dividends will be made upon conversion to the extent of legally-available funds.
 
The shares of Series C Preferred Stock may also be converted into common stock at the Conversion Rate, at the Company’s option, following the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, if the Company’s common stock trades above 300% of the Conversion Rate (initially $3.75) per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days ending within 15 days of the mailing of notice of conversion.
 
Voting Rights. The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, voting as a class, shall be required to authorize, effect or validate (i) any change in the rights, privileges or preferences of the Series C Preferred Stock that would adversely affect the Series C Preferred Stock, or (ii) the authorization, creation, issuance or increase in the authorized or issued amount of any class or series of stock ranking on parity with or superior to the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to the declaration and payment of dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our Company. In addition, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote, together with holders of common stock as single class, on all matters upon which the holders of common stock are entitled to vote pursuant to applicable Delaware law or the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. The Series C Preferred Stock shall vote on an “as converted basis” with each holder of Series C Preferred Stock having one vote for each Conversion Share underlying such holder’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock.

Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company (whether capital or surplus), or the proceeds thereof, may be made or set apart for the holders common stock or any stock ranking  pari passu  to Series C Preferred Stock, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders, a liquidating distribution of $1,000 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The Series C Preferred Stock shall rank junior to the Series A Preferred Stock and  pari passu  to Series B Preferred Stock, as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company. If, upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company are insufficient to make the full payment of $1,000 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock and similar payments on any other class of stock ranking on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock upon liquidation, then the holders of Series C Preferred Stock and such other shares will share ratably in any such distribution of the Company’s assets in proportion to the full respective distributable amounts to which they are entitled in accordance with the above-stated rank. Certain events, including a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or sale or conveyance of all or substantially all the property and assets of the Company will be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company for purposes of the foregoing.
 
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
The Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”) has been authorized by resolutions adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors and set forth in a Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights, filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on September 22, 2014, which contains the designations, rights, powers, preferences, qualifications and limitations of the Series C Preferred Stock.  The shares of Series D Preferred Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
 
Designation.  The Company has authorized 6,000 shares designated as Series D Preferred Stock, $1,000 Face Value, $.10 par value per share, of which 320 shares are issued and outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus.
 
Rank. The Series D Convertible Preferred Stock ranks (i) senior to the common stock and any other class or series of the Company’s capital stock either specifically ranking by its terms junior to the Preferred Stock or not specifically ranking by its terms senior to or on parity with the Preferred Stock, (ii) on parity with Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and any class or series of the Company’s capital stock specifically ranking by its terms on parity with the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, and (iii) junior to Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and any subsequent class or series of capital stock specifically ranking by its terms senior to the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, in each case, as to distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary. The approval of the holders of two-thirds in interest of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is required in order for the Company to issue any capital stock with rights on parity with or senior to the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
Dividends. The holders of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive annual cumulative per share dividends of 6.5% of the liquidation preference of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, out of funds legally available, prior to any payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock or any other class of stock ranking junior to the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. Such dividends are payable in cash or shares of common stock, at the option of the Company, semiannually (each a “Dividend Payment Date”), with respect to the period from issuance through such date. The holders of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to share ratably with the holders of the common stock in any dividend declared on the common stock.
 
Dividends on the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock will accrue whether or not the Company has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends and whether or not such dividends are declared. Dividends accumulate to the extent they are not paid on the Dividend Payment Date to which they relate. Accumulated unpaid dividends will not bear interest. According to Delaware law, the Company may declare and pay dividends or make other distributions on its capital stock only out of legally-available funds. In addition, no dividends or distributions may be declared, paid or made if the Company is or would be rendered insolvent by virtue of such dividend or distribution.
 
The Company may not (i) pay any dividends in respect of any shares of capital stock ranking junior to the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (including the common stock), other than dividends payable in the form of additional shares of the same junior stock as that on which such dividend is declared, or (ii) redeem any shares of capital stock ranking junior to the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (including the common stock), unless and until all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock have been, or contemporaneously are, declared and paid in full.
 
Conversion. At the election of the holder thereof, each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock will be convertible into common stock, at any time after issuance, at the Conversion Rate, as it may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with the respective Certificates of Designation. The Conversion Rate initially will be 500 shares of common stock ($2.00 per share) for each $1,000 stated value of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment from time to time in the event of (i) the issuance of common stock as a dividend or distribution on any class of the Company’s capital stock; or (ii) the combination, subdivision or reclassification of the common stock, however, will not be adjusted for subsequent stock issuances below the Conversion Rate. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion. Payment of accumulated and unpaid dividends will be made upon conversion to the extent of legally-available funds.
 
The shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock may also be converted into common stock at the Conversion Rate, at the Company’s option, following the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, if either: (i) the Company’s common stock is traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market and the closing bid price trades at or above $4.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days ending within 15 days prior to the date of notice, or (ii) the Company has completed an underwritten initial public offering.

Voting Rights. The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, voting as a class, shall be required to authorize, effect or validate (i) any change in the rights, privileges or preferences of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock that would adversely affect the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, or (ii) the authorization, creation, issuance or increase in the authorized or issued amount of any class or series of stock ranking on parity with or superior to the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to the declaration and payment of dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our Company. In addition, the holders of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote, together with holders of common stock as single class, on all matters upon which the holders of common stock are entitled to vote pursuant to applicable Delaware law or the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. The Series D Convertible Preferred Stock shall vote on an “as converted basis” with each holder of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock having one vote for each Conversion Share underlying such holder’s shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company (whether capital or surplus), or the proceeds thereof, may be made or set apart for the holders common stock or any stock ranking pari passu to Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, the holders of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders, a liquidating distribution of $1,000 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The Series D Preferred Stock shall rank junior to the Series A Preferred Stock and pari passu to Series B and Series C Preferred Stock, as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company. If, upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company are insufficient to make the full payment of $1,000 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and similar payments on any other class of stock ranking on a parity with the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock upon liquidation, then the holders of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and such other shares will share ratably in any such distribution of the Company’s assets in proportion to the full respective distributable amounts to which they are entitled in accordance with the above-stated rank. Certain events, including a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or sale or conveyance of all or substantially all the property and assets of the Company will be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company for purposes of the foregoing.
 
Miscellaneous. The Company is not subject to any mandatory redemption or sinking fund provision with respect to the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent
 
Until such time as our securities are publicly traded, we will act as the transfer agent for our common stock and warrant agent for our Warrants.
 
Certain Market Information
 
Our common stock was approved to trade on the OTCBB. However, the Company has elected, to date, to not trade our common stock. An OTCBB listing does not guarantee that an active trading market for our securities will develop. The Company’s stockholders will likely not be able to sell their securities if an active trading market for our securities does not develop. Further, we can give no assurance that such a market could be sustained if a trading market for our securities were to develop, nor that our securities offered hereby could be resold at their original offering price or at any other price. Any market for our securities that may develop will very likely be a limited one and, in all likelihood, be highly volatile. In any event, if our securities traded at a low price, many brokerage firms may choose not to engage in market making activities or effect transactions in our securities. Accordingly, purchasers of our securities may have difficulties in reselling them and many banks may not grant loans using our securities as collateral.
 
Federal regulations governing “penny stocks” could have a detrimental effect on holders of our securities. Our securities are subject to the SEC rules that impose special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers that sell such securities to parties other than established customers or accredited investors. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of purchasers of our securities to buy or sell in any market that may develop. In addition, the SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks.” Because our securities currently constitute a “penny stock” within the meaning of these rules, the rules would apply to us and our securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of our securities to sell their securities in any market that may develop for them.
 
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
Prior to the offering made by this Prospectus, there has been no public market for our common stock, and we cannot assure you that a trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained after this offering. Future sales of substantial numbers of shares of our common stock, including shares issued upon exercise of options, in the public market after this offering, or the anticipation of those sales, could adversely affect market prices of our common stock prevailing from time to time and could impair our ability to raise capital through sales of our equity securities.
 
We currently have issued and outstanding 14,163,887 shares of common stock. Of this amount, all but 40,000 shares of Common Stock have been held more than six (6) months and will all qualify for resale under Rule 144 subject to volume limitations for affiliates. An aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 5,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, 2,525,842 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 2,146 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, 3,831,576 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 3,255.375 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or an aggregate of 10,357,418 shares have been beneficially owned for more than six months as of the date of this Prospectus and will qualify for resale under Rule 144.  None of the 160,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the 320 shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding has been beneficially owned for more than six months as of the date of this Prospectus and therefore do not qualify for resale under Rule 144.
 
Registered securities may be sold in the public market only if they have been registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act.
 
Rule 144
 
In general, under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six months (including any period of consecutive ownership of preceding non-affiliated holders) would be entitled to sell those shares, subject only to the availability of current public information about us which period will commence 90 days from the date of the prospectus. A non-affiliated person who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least one year would be entitled to sell those shares without regard to the provisions of Rule 144.
 
 
76

 
 
A person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is deemed to be an affiliate of ours and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six months would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding shares of our common stock or the average weekly trading volume of our common stock reported during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Based on 14,123,887 shares currently outstanding, approximately 141,239 shares may be sold every 90 days. Such sales are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us.
 
Rule 701
 
In general, under Rule 701 of the Securities Act, most of our employees, consultants or advisors who purchased shares from us in connection with a qualified compensatory stock plan or other written agreement are eligible to resell those shares 90 days after the date of the Company’s initial public offering prospectus in reliance on Rule 144, but without compliance with the holding period or certain other restrictions contained in Rule 144.
 
Registration Rights
 
The Company has agreed to keep this Registration Statement current and effective to permit the sale of the shares offered hereby until the earlier of (i) the date that all of the shares have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, or (ii) the date the holders of the shares receive an opinion of counsel that such shares may be sold under the provisions of Rule 144(b)(i).  The currently outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Placement Agent’s Warrants and the shares underlying the Placement Agent Warrants are not entitled to be included in the Registration Statement.
 
If the Registration Statement is not timely filed or declared effective within 120 days of the initial filing date of August 13, 2014, of if the Company does not comply with certain of its obligations set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will pay Series C Preferred Stock investors liquidated damages of 2% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such holder, pro rata for partial months, for a maximum of six (6) months. Liquidated damages may be paid in cash or common stock, at the Company’s option. See “Selling Stockholders-Additional Disclosures” for a calculation of liquidated damages accrued by the Company for the late filings of this registration statement.  There can be no assurance that the Registration Statement will become effective under the Securities Act or that the Registration Statement will remain current and effective. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses incurred in preparing, filing and maintaining the effectiveness of this Prospectus, except for brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and the fees of counsel to the holders.
 
INDEMNIFICATION
 
Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Company has the power to indemnify any of its directors or executive officers who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative as a result of such person being a director or executive officer of the Company or any other corporation, partnership, joint venture or other enterprise at the Company's request. The statutory indemnification covers expenses, judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement if the director or executive officers acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding if he had not reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be permitted to officers, directors or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that it is the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
The shares of our common stock being offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus may be sold by the selling stockholders for their respective own accounts. The selling stockholders include retail accredited investors in our Bridge Financing and Private Placements.  We will receive none of the proceeds from this offering other than the exercise price of warrants and placement agent warrants.  The selling stockholders will pay or assume brokerage commissions or other charges and expenses incurred in the sale of the shares. The distribution of the shares by the selling stockholders is not currently subject to any underwriting agreement. Each selling stockholder must use a broker-dealer which is registered in the state in which the selling stockholder seeks to sell their shares. The Company has been advised that no selling stockbroker is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer.
 
The selling stockholders will offer the Shares under this Prospectus on an immediate and continuous basis at a fixed offering price of $2.00 per share.  The initial offering price is based, in part, on the last private sale of the Company’s Common Stock at $2.00 per share and comparison by Management of similarly situated companies.
 
The shares may be sold or transferred for value by the selling stockholders, in one or more transactions, in the over-the-counter market in privately negotiated transactions or in a combination of such methods. The selling stockholders may effect such transactions by selling or transferring the shares to or through brokers and/or dealers, and such brokers or dealers may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers/transferees of the shares for whom such brokers or dealers may act as agent. Such broker or dealer compensation may be less than or in excess of customary commissions. However, the maximum compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker dealer will not be greater than eight (8%) percent of the gross proceeds of any sale. The selling stockholders and any broker or dealer that participate in the distribution of the Shares are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of the shares sold by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act and under the FINRA Corporate Financing Rules.
 
The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling the shares:
 
 
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
 
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
 
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
 
privately negotiated transactions;
 
 
settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
 
 
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
 
a combination of any such methods of sale;
 
 
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or
 
 
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
Any of the shares of our common stock being offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 commencing 90 days from the effective date rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
 
There can be no assurance that the selling stockholders will sell or transfer any of the shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus.

Period Ended September 30, 2014

NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at September 30, 2014, and for all periods 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. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2013 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
 
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
 
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized sales revenue of $-0- and incurred a net loss of $2,139,679. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $12,808,087. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company's planned business. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. These consolidated 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 the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
 
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow risks or market-risks that may affect the fair values of its financial instruments. The Company utilizes various types of financing to fund our business needs, including preferred stock with warrants attached and other instruments not indexed to our stock. The Company is required to record its derivative instruments at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings in accordance with ASC 815.
 
 
F - 5

 
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with ASC 820, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
 
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
 
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
 
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of September 30, 2014, on a recurring basis:

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a description of the valuation methodology used to measure fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has evaluated recent accounting pronouncements and their adoption has not had nor is it expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, or statements.
 
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities”. The amendments in this update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the ASC thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP.  In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had` been in the development stage. The amendments in this update are applied retrospectively. The early adoption of ASU 2014-10 is permitted which removed the development stage entity financial reporting requirements from the Company.

NOTE 5 – ACCRUED LIABILITIES
 
Pursuant to the applicable Codification literature, the Company has concluded it is probable that it will pay $85,738 in liquidated damages pursuant to the registration rights clause in certain of the securities sold in fiscal years 2008 and 2009, the Company was required to file a registration statement by January 27, 2009. The Company failed to do so until April 7, 2009, resulting in liquidated damages of 2% per month of the gross proceeds, which approximated $1.8 million as of that date. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s registration statement covering the securities was declared effective by the SEC. Each holder is entitled to $47.32 per share owned. The Company has resolved to pay the liquidated damages in shares of Common Stock valued at $1.00 per share, pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
NOTE 6 – NOTE PAYABLE
 
In January 2013, the Company received $25,000 in cash pursuant to a short-term promissory note with a related party. In March 2013, the Company received $5,000 in cash pursuant to a short-term promissory note with the same related party. The notes did not bear interest. The Company assessed the imputed interest and found the balance to be immaterial. In April 2013, the balance on the notes was repaid in full.
 
NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
On May 7, 2013, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate anti-dilution price protection from its Series A Preferred Stock and associated derivative liability. For the Nine-months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred a change in fair value of derivative of $0 and $3,926, respectively.
 
NOTE 8 – PREFERRED STOCK
 
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) has been authorized by resolutions adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors and set forth in a Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights (“Certificate of Designation”), filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on November 26, 2008, as last amended on July 17, 2013, which contains the designations, rights, powers, preferences, qualifications and limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Preferred Stock are fully paid and non-assessable. As of September 30, 2014, the Company has issued 3,255 shares of Series A Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of approximately 3,831,576 shares of common stock.
 
Rank
The Preferred Stock ranks(i) senior to the common stock and any other class or series of the Company’s capital stock either specifically ranking by its terms junior to the Preferred Stock or not specifically ranking by its terms senior to or on parity with the Preferred Stock, (ii) on parity with any class or series of the Company’s capital stock specifically ranking by its terms on parity with the Preferred Stock, and (iii) junior to any class or series of capital stock specifically ranking by its terms senior to the Preferred Stock, in each case, as to payment of dividends or as to distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary. The approval of the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock is required in order for the Company to issue any capital stock with rights on parity with or senior to the Preferred Stock.
 
Dividends
The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive annual cumulative per share dividends of 6.5% of the liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock, out of funds legally available, prior to any payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock or any other class of stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock. Such dividends are payable in cash or shares of common stock, at the option of the Company, semiannually on the last business day of February and August of each year (each a “Dividend Payment Date”), commencing in February 2009 with respect to the period from issuance through such date. In September 2014, the Company issued 1,206,387 shares of common stock for accrued dividends. As of September 30, 2014, an aggregate of 796,181 shares of common stock are issuable for accrued dividends. The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to share ratably with the holders of the common stock in any dividend declared on the common stock.
 
F - 7

 
 
Dividends on the Preferred Stock will accrue whether or not the Company has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends and whether or not such dividends are declared. Dividends accumulate to the extent they are not paid on the Dividend Payment Date to which they relate. Dividends that are due in cash and which are not paid within (5) business days of the Dividend Payment date shall bear interest until paid at the default rate. According to Delaware law, the Company may declare and pay dividends or make other distributions on its capital stock only out of legally-available funds. In addition, no dividends or distributions may be declared, paid or made if the Company is or would be rendered insolvent by virtue of such dividend or distribution. The Company may not (i) pay any dividends in respect of any shares of capital stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock (including the common stock), other than dividends payable in the form of additional shares of the same junior stock as that on which such dividend is declared, or (ii) redeem any shares of capital stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock (including the common stock), unless and until all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock have been, or contemporaneously are, declared and paid in full.
 
Conversion
At the election of the holder thereof, each share of Preferred Stock will be convertible into common stock, at any time after issuance, at the Conversion Rate, as it may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with the Certificate of Designation. The Conversion Rate initially will be 1,177 shares of common stock ($.85 per share) for each Share of Preferred Stock, which has a stated value of $1,000 per share. If the Company issues or sells any shares of its common stock (or options, warrants or convertible securities, convertible or exchangeable into shares of common stock) hereinafter, a “Subsequent common stock Issuance”), then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted so that the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of each share of preferred stock shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing $1,000 by the price per share of common stock (or the conversion price per share in the case of a sale of options, warrants or convertible securities) sold in such Subsequent common stock Issuance.
The Conversion Price is also subject to adjustment from time to time in the event of (i) the issuance of common stock as a dividend or distribution on any class of the Company’s capital stock; or (ii) the combination, subdivision or reclassification of the common stock. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion. Payment of accumulated and unpaid dividends will be made upon conversion to the extent of legally-available funds. The shares of Preferred Stock may also be converted into common stock at the Conversion Rate at the Company’s option following the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, if the Company’s common stock trades above 200 % of the Conversion Rate per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days. 
 
Voting Rights
The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a class, shall be required to authorize, effect or validate (i) any change in the rights, privileges or preferences of the Preferred Stock that would adversely affect the Preferred Stock, or (ii) the authorization, creation, issuance or increase in the authorized or issued amount of any class or series of stock ranking on parity with or superior to the Preferred Stock with respect to the declaration and payment of dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our Company. In addition, the holders of Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote, together with holders of common stock as single class, on all matters upon which the holders of common stock are entitled to vote pursuant to applicable Delaware law or the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. The Preferred Stock shall vote on an “as converted basis” with each holder of Preferred Stock having one vote for each Conversion Share underlying such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock.
 
Liquidation
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company (whether capital or surplus), or the proceeds thereof, may be made or set apart for the holders common stock or any stock ranking junior to Preferred Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders, a liquidating distribution of $1,000 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. If, upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company are insufficient to make the full payment of $1,000 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock and similar payments on any other class of stock ranking on a parity with the Preferred Stock upon liquidation, then the holders of Preferred Stock and such other shares will share ratably in any such distribution of the Company’s assets in proportion to the full respective distributable amounts to which they are entitled. Certain events, including a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or sale or conveyance of all or substantially all the property and assets of the Company will be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company for purposes of the foregoing.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
SignPath Pharma, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SignPath Pharma, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. The financial statements for the period from inception (May 15, 2006) to December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. 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 the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes 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 internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the SignPath Pharma, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $10,960,243, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SIGNPATH PHARMA, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2013 and 2012
 
 
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
SignPath Pharma, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 15, 2006. The Company was organized to develop proprietary formulations of curcumin (diferuloylmethane), a naturally occurring compound found in the root of the  Curcuma longa  (turmeric) plant, for applications in malignant diseases. The Company’s product candidates are currently in the pre-clinical testing phase.
 
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
 
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized sales revenue of $-0- and incurred a net loss of $1,956,872. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $10,668,408. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company's planned business. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. These consolidated 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 the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
 
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Accounting Basis
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company has elected a December 31 fiscal year end.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2013 or 2012.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash. Our cash balances are maintained in accounts held by major banks and financial institutions located in the United States. The Company occasionally maintains amounts on deposit with a financial institution that are in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. The risk is managed by maintaining all deposits in high quality financial institutions. The Company had $991,397 and $0 of cash balances in excess of federally insured limits at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the expected useful life of the asset, after the asset is placed in service. The Company generally uses the following depreciable lives for its major classifications of property and equipment:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with ASC 820, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
 
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
 
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
 
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.   The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of December 31, 2013, on a recurring basis:

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a description of the valuation methodology used to measure fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
 
Derivative Liability: Market prices are not available for the Company's warrants nor are market prices of similar warrants available. The Company assessed that the fair value of this liability approximates its carrying value since carrying value has been adjusted to fair value.
 
The method described above may produce a current fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. If a readily determined market value became available or if actual performance were to vary appreciably from assumptions used, assumptions may need to be adjusted, which could result in material differences from the recorded carrying amounts. The Company believes its method of determining fair value is appropriate and consistent with other market participants. However, the use of different methodologies or different assumptions to value certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value.

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow risks or market-risks that may affect the fair values of its financial instruments. The Company utilizes various types of financing to fund our business needs, including preferred stock with warrants attached and other instruments not indexed to our stock. The Company is required to record its derivative instruments at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings in accordance with ASC 815.
 
Research and Development Costs
The Company expenses the costs of the development of its pharmaceutical products during the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $841,502 and $939,296 during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718 which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model for determining the fair value of stock based compensation.
 
Equity instruments issued to non-employees for goods or services are accounted for at fair value and are marked to market until service is complete or a performance commitment date is reached, whichever is earlier.
 
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
 
In July, 2006, the FASB issued ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a return. ASC 740 provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. ASC 740 became effective as of January 1, 2007 and had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
 
Basic and Diluted Net income (Loss) per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260 which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
 
 
F - 27

 
 
For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, all of the Company’s potentially dilutive securities (warrants, options, and convertible preferred stock) were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive. The total number of potentially dilutive shares that were excluded was 18,162,608 and 12,814,874 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
Deemed Dividend on Warrant Amendment
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company amended the terms of its Class A, B, C and PAW Warrants with certain investors who held warrants to purchase 11,364,453 shares of our common stock to extend the terms of the Warrants such that none of the Warrants expire before the 5th anniversary of the date on which the Common Stock begins public trading on a national securities exchange. The modification of the expiration date of the warrant resulted in a deemed dividend to warrant holders of approximately, $2,445,621 which was calculated as the difference between fair value of the warrants immediately before and after the modification using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The deemed dividends have been included in the calculation of the net loss attributable to common stockholders of approximately $4,402,493 or $0.34 per share, the the year ended December 31, 2013. The deemed dividends are exluded form our net loss (from operating activities) of approximately $4,402,493, or $0.34 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-11: Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The new guidance requires that unrecognized tax benefits be presented on a net basis with the deferred tax assets for such carryforwards. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. We do not expect the adoption of the new provisions to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
 
In February 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in the ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The new amendments will require an organization to:
 
-
Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period; and
   
-
Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense.
 
The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
 
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities , which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements originally established by ASU 2011-11. The new ASU addresses preparer concerns that the scope of the disclosure requirements under ASU 2011-11 was overly broad and imposed unintended costs that were not commensurate with estimated benefits to financial statement users. In choosing to narrow the scope of the offsetting disclosures, the Board determined that it could make them more operable and cost effective for preparers while still giving financial statement users sufficient information to analyze the most significant presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those prepared under IFRSs. Like ASU 2011-11, the amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning on, or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2012-04, "Technical Corrections and Improvements" in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
 
In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-03, "Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update)" in Accounting standards Update No. 2012-03. This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
 
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment" in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02. This update amends ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment and permits an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
The Company’s only asset or liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis is its derivative liability associated with its Series A Preferred Stock and associated warrants to purchase common stock. On May 7, 2013, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate anti-dilution price protection from its Series A Preferred Stock and associated derivative liability. On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic No. 815-40 which defines determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is solely indexed to an entity’s own stock. As of January 1, 2009, the Company had issued 3,572,714 warrants which have exercise prices that are subject to “reset” provisions in the event the Company subsequently issues common stock, stock warrants, stock options or convertible debt with a stock price, exercise price or conversion price lower than $0.85 and $1.27, respectively. If these provisions are triggered, the exercise price of all of those warrants will be reduced. As a result, the warrants are not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and are not afforded equity treatment.
 
As a result, on January 1, 2009, 3,572,714 of the Company’s outstanding warrants containing exercise price reset provisions, originally classified as permanent equity, were reclassified to derivative liability. These warrants had exercise prices ranging from $0.85 - $1.27 and expire starting in December 2013. As of January 1, 2009, the fair value of these warrants of $1,676,633 was recognized and resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of $43,808. On May 7, 2013, the Company effectively removed the derivative provision from the warrants and convertible debt and valued the derivatives market to market as of that date. The derivative liability was then converted to additional paid-in-capital. The change in fair value during years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 of ($3,926) and ($8,154), respectively, is recorded as a derivative loss in the accompanying Statements of Operations.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued 1,313,533 warrants which were attached to 1,116 shares of convertible preferred stock. The Company issued an additional 757,223 warrants as stock offering costs to the Company’s placement agent. The combined fair market value of the derivative liability associated with these issuances at the date of issuance was $301,800.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued 1,704,884 warrants which were attached to 1,449 shares of convertible preferred stock. The Company issued an additional 1,022,931 warrants as stock offering costs to the Company’s placement agent. The combined fair market value of the derivative liability associated with these issuances at the date of issuance was $2,184,753.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company issued 676,775 warrants which were attached to 575 shares of convertible preferred stock. The Company issued an additional 391,353 warrants as stock offering costs to the Company’s placement agent. The Combined fair market value of the derivative liability associated with these issuances for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $852,346.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company issued 953,370 warrants which were attached to 810 shares of convertible preferred stock. The Company issued an additional 286,011 warrants as stock offering costs to the Company’s placement agent. The Combined fair market value of the derivative liability associated with these issuances for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $988,552.
 
The Company classifies the fair value of these warrants under level three of the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments. The fair value of the derivative liability was calculated using a lattice model that values the compound embedded derivatives based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. This model is based on future projections of the various potential outcomes. The embedded derivatives that were analyzed and incorporated into the model included the conversion feature with the full ratchet reset, and the redemption options.
 
The Series A Preferred Derivatives were valued using the following assumptions:
 
·
The Company was 3 months from being publicly traded and the Company/Holder would convert the Preferred Stock based on 200% of the adjusted conversion price;
   
·
The Preferred maturity date used was 7 years following the Company being publicly traded (rolling 6 years from the Valuation Date);
 
·
The stock price of $0.85 was used as the fair value of the common stock based on the previous common stock transaction;
   
·
The projected volatility curve was based on the average of 15 comparable biotech companies historical volatility:
 
·
The Holder would automatically convert at a stock price of $1.70 if the Company was not in default;
   
·
The Holder would convert on a quarterly basis in equal amounts to maturity if in the money; and
 
·
Capital raising events would occur annually, generating reset events based on pricing not greater than 100% of market.
 
The warrants were valued at issuance and marked to market quarterly for the period 2009 through December 2011. The five-year warrants are options to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share and $1.27, subject to adjustments. The following assumptions were used for the valuation of the derivative:
 
·
The stock price of $0.85 was used as the fair value of the common stock based on the previous common stock transaction;
   
·
The projected volatility curve was based on the average of comparable companies as provided in the Preferred assumptions above;
 
·
The Holder would exercise the warrant at maturity if the stock price was above the exercise price;
   
·
The Holder would exercise the warrant at target prices starting at $1.58 for the Investor Warrants and $1.40 for the Placement Agent Warrants, and lowering such target as the warrants approached maturity.
 
·
The Holder would automatically convert all of the shares at a stock price of $1.58 for the Investor Warrants and $1.40 for the Placement Agent Warrants;
   
·
The Holder would convert on a quarterly basis in amounts not to exceed the average quarters trading volume based on historical performance, assuming the volume would increase by 5% each quarter; and
 
·
Capital raising events would occur annually, generating reset events based on pricing not greater than 100% of market for the Placement Agent Warrants and for the Investor Warrants the reset would be 150% of the Preferred.
 
The Company determined the fair value of the preferred stock to be $0 and $3,182,380 and the fair value of the warrants to be $0 and $2,504,879 at December, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The shares of Preferred Stock are fully paid and non-assessable. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has issued 3,255 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

Dividends
 
The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive annual cumulative per share dividends of 6.5% of the liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock, out of funds legally available, prior to any payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock or any other class of stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock. Such dividends are payable in shares of common stock, semiannually on the last business day of February and August of each year (each a “Dividend Payment Date”), commencing in February 2009 with respect to the period from issuance through such date. The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to share ratably with the holders of the common stock in any dividend declared on the common stock.

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES
 
The Company’s provision for income taxes was $0 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively since the Company incurred net operating losses which have a full valuation allowance through December 31, 2012.
 
ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Company’s opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been recorded. The total deferred tax asset is calculated by multiplying a 39% marginal tax rate by the cumulative Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) of $7,436,707. The total valuation allowance is equal to the total deferred tax asset. The valuation allowance increased by $488,084 from $2,412,232 to $2,903,316 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740 at the beginning of fiscal year 2008. As a result of this adoption, the Company has not made any adjustments to deferred tax assets or liabilities. The Company did not identify any material uncertain tax positions on returns that have been filed or that will be filed. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties for unrecognized tax benefits during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, nor were any interest or penalties accrued as of December 31, 2013.
 
The Company has filed income tax returns in the United States and Florida. All tax years prior to 2009 are closed by expiration of the statute of limitations. The years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 is open for examination.
 
The Company’s net state and federal operating loss carry forwards of approximately $7,436,707 expire in various years beginning in 2027 and carrying forward through 2033.
 
The Company has had numerous transactions in its common stock. Such transactions may have resulted in a change in the Company's ownership, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Such change may result in an annual limitation on the amount of the Company's taxable income that may be offset with its net operating loss carry forwards. The Company has not evaluated the impact of Section 382, if any, on its ability to utilize its net operating loss carry forwards in future years.

Item 15.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
 
Between September 2, 2011 and November 26, 2012, SignPath sold 2,146 units (“Units”) of its securities at a price of $1,000 per Unit for gross proceeds of $2,146,000.  Each Unit consists of (i) one share of 6.5% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into 1,177 shares of common stock (equivalent to $.85 per share of common stock) following the effective date of this Registration Statement, subject to adjustment, and (ii) one Warrant to purchase 1,177 shares of common stock at $1.27 per share for a five-year period, as amended, following the commencement of public trading.  The Units were sold to 27 accredited investors including an affiliate of the Placement Agent which 117 Units are not being registered as part of this registration statement.  The Placement Agent received sales and commissions of 10% of the gross proceeds of $2,146,000 from the sale of Units, as well as a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 3% of the gross proceeds of the offering, and a Unit Purchase Option to purchase 15% of the Units sold in the offering.  The registrant believes that these securities were issued in transactions not involving any public offering in reliance upon an exception from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
 
Between March 3, 2013 and June 8, 2014, the Registrant sold 5,000 Units for gross proceeds of $5,000,000.  Each Unit consists of (i) one share of 6.5% Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”) convertible into 800 shares of Common Stock (equivalent to $1.25 per share of Common Stock and one Class C Warrant to purchase 400 shares of Common Stock at $1.875 per share for a seven-year period following the Effective Date of this Registration Statement.  The Units were sold to fifteen (15) different accredited investors.  Meyers Associates, L.P., the Placement Agent, received sales commissions of 10% (500,000) of the gross proceeds of $5,000,000 from the sale of Units, as well as a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 3% of the gross proceeds of the offering, and a Unit Purchase Option to purchase twenty 20% of the securities sold in the offering.  The registrant believes that these securities were issued in transactions not involving any public offering in reliance upon an exception from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
 
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, the Registrant issued an aggregate of 1,206,387 shares of Common Stock to 44 holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in payment of accrued dividends.  The registrant believes that such issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act, as such dividend was not a sale under the Securities Act.
 
Between October 31, 2014 and November 26, 2014, the Registrant issued 320 Series D units (“Series D Units”) of its securities at a price of $1,000 per Series D Unit for gross proceeds of $320,000.  Each Series D Unit consists of (i) one share of 6.5% Series D Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into 500 shares of common stock (equivalent to $2.00 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment, and (ii) one Warrant to purchase 125 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share for a seven-year period, following the effective date of this Registration Statement.  The Series D Units were sold to four accredited investors.  The Placement Agent received sales and commissions of 10% of the gross proceeds of $320,000 from the sale of Series D Units, as well as a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 3% of the gross proceeds of the offering, and a Unit Purchase Option to purchase 20% of the shares underlying the Series D Units sold in the offering.  The registrant believes that these securities were issued in transactions not involving any public offering in reliance upon an exception from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

Item 17.  Undertakings
 
The registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1) To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
 
 (i)  Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”);
 
 (ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
 (iii) Include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement on any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.
 
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(3) To file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(4) For determining liability under the Act, to any purchaser in the initial distribution of securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (230.424 of this chapter); (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
 
(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a Director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
(6) For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as a part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.  Provided, however,  that no statement made in the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
