Notes To Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

For The Three Month Interim Period Ended March 31, 2015

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

Sunshine Biopharma, Inc., f/k/a Mountain West Business Solutions, Inc. (“MWBS”) was incorporated on August 31, 2006 in the State of Colorado. Sunshine Etopo, Inc. (formerly Sunshine Biopharma, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on August 17, 2009. Effective October 15, 2009, MWBS was acquired by Sunshine Etopo, Inc. in a transaction classified as a reverse acquisition. MWBS concurrently changed its name to Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. The financial statements represent the consolidated activity of Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. and Sunshine Etopo, Inc. Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. and Sunshine Etopo, Inc. are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Company". The Company was formed for the purposes of conducting research, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of various forms of cancer. The Company may also engage in any other business that is permitted by law, as designated by the Board of Directors of the Company.

In July 2014 the Company formed a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Sunshine Biopharma Canada Inc. (“Canadian Subsidiary”). Until March 2015 the Canadian Subsidiary was inactive. Sunshine Biopharma, Inc., Sunshine Etopo, Inc. and the Canadian Subsidiary are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Company".

During the three month period ended March 31, 2015, the Company has continued to raise money through stock sales and borrowings.

The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to operationalize the Company’s current technology before another company develops a similar technology and drug.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For the Balance Sheets and Statements of Cash Flows, all highly liquid investments with maturity of 90 days or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company had a cash balance of $148,702 and $143,423 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. At times such cash balances may be in excess of the FDIC limit of $250,000.

See the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission for a complete summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Note 3 – Unaudited Financial Information

The unaudited financial information included for the three month interim period ended March 31, 2015 was taken from the books and records of the Company without audit. However, such information reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to reflect properly the results of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three month interim period ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.

Note 4 – Notes Payable

The Company had outstanding loans of $12,500 accruing interest at a rate of 12%, $128,000 accruing interest at 10%, and $131,500 accruing interest at 8%. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 accrued interest was $19,501 and $16,113, respectively.

Note 5 – Issuance of Common Stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued 28,895,296 shares of $0.001 par value Common Stock. Of these shares, 18,895,296 shares have been valued at $333,144, reducing debt by $166,990 and generating a loss on conversion of $166,154 for the period. In March 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a private offering of Common Stock in Canada pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, wherein the Company is offering up to 60,000,000 shares of its Common Stock at an offering price of $0.015 Canadian per share for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $900,000 Canadian. As of the date of this Report the Company has accepted two subscriptions each of 10,000,000 shares for $150,000 Canadian (aggregating $300,000 Canadian or apporimately $236,550 US).

The Company declared no dividends through March 31, 2015.

Note 6 – Convertible Notes

A Note with a face value of $128,000, bearing interest at 10% was issued on November 27, 2014 and is due May 27, 2015. The Note was issued at a premium and convertible from issuance into $0.001 par value Common Stock at a price of $0.20 per share. Any gain or loss will be recognized at conversion.

A Note having a remaining balance of $94,624 as of December 31, 2014 was reduced through conversions into $0.001 par value Common Stock, to $41,134. This remaining balance bears no additional interest and is convertible into $0.001 par value Common Stock at a price of 35% below market value. During the three month period ended March 31, 2015, 6,500,000 shares of $0.001 Common Stock valued at $130,000 were issued in connection with this Note reducing debt by $53,490 and generating a loss on conversion of $76,510. We estimate that the fair value of the current balance of this convertible note approximates the face value, so no value has been assigned to the beneficial conversion feature.

A convertible Note with an original Face Value of $113,500 was fully converted into $0.001 par value Common Stock during the three month period ended March 31, 2015. The Company issued 12,395,296 shares of its $0.001 par value Common Stock valued at $203,144 generating a loss of $166,154 applicable to such conversion.

A Note having a face value of $53,500 with interest at 8% is due August 17, 2015. The Note is convertible after 180 days from issuance into $0.001 par value Common Stock at a price of 35% below market value. The Company estimates that the fair value of the convertible debt approximates the face value, so no value has been assigned to the beneficial conversion feature.

A Note having a face value of $78,000 with interest at 8% is due November 14, 2015. The Note is convertible after 180 days from issuance into $0.001 par value Common Stock at a price 35% below market value. The Company estimates that the fair value of the convertible debt approximates the face value, so no value has been assigned to the beneficial conversion feature.

Note 7 – Subsequent Events

On April 1, 2015, the holder of the $41,134 note elected to convert $27,588 into 3,800,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock leaving a note balance of $13,546.

On April 2, 2015, the Company, sold 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value Common Stock for $150,000 (Canadian) as part of the private offering of Common Stock referenced in Note 5, above.

On April 8, 2015, the Company issued 1,250,000 shares of its $0.001 par value Common Stock at a price of $0.04 per share for professional services valued at $50,000.

PART I.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with, and because we desire to take advantage of, the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain forward looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking statements made by, or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward looking statements.

Overview and History

We were incorporated in the State of Colorado on August 31, 2006 under the name “Mountain West Business Solutions, Inc.” During our fiscal year ended July 31, 2009 our business was to provide management consulting with regard to accounting, computer and general business issues for small and home-office based companies. Effective October 15, 2009, we executed an agreement to acquire Sunshine Biopharma, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“SBI”), in exchange for the issuance of 21,962,000 shares of our Common Stock and 850,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, each convertible into twenty (20) shares of our Common Stock (the “Agreement”). As a result of this transaction our officers and directors resigned their positions with us and were replaced by our current management. See PART III, Item 10, below. As a result of this transaction we have changed our name to “Sunshine Biopharma, Inc.”

Our principal place of business is located at 469 Jean-Talon West, 3rd Floor, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3N 1R4. Our phone number is (514) 764-9698 and our website address is www.sunshinebiopharma.com.

We have not been subject to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.

Results Of Operations

Comparison of Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 we did not generate any revenues.

General and administrative expenses during the three month period ended March 31, 2015 were $124,825, compared to general and administrative expense of $405,873 incurred during the three month period ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $281,048. This decrease is attributable to (i) a decrease of $96,000 in research and development (R&D) expenses and (ii) a decrease of $150,000 in financial consulting fees. We incurred no R&D charges during the three months ended March 31, 2015, as our management concentrated on raising money to manufacture our drug. The decrease of $150,000 in financial consulting fees was as a result of our not using consultants in our fund raising efforts. Most of our other expenses remained relatively constant during the three month period ended March 31, 2015 compared to the similar period in 2014. We also incurred $169,542 in interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $95,382 in interest expense during the similar period in 2014 as a result of increased borrowings.

As a result, we incurred a net loss of $294,367 (less than $0.01 per share) for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, compared to a net loss of $501,255 (approximately $0.01 per share) during the three month period ended March 31, 2014.

Because we did not generate any revenues since our inception, following is our Plan of Operation.

Plan of Operation

We are currently a pharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of various forms of cancer. The preclinical studies for our lead compound, Adva-27a, a multi-purpose antitumor compound, were successfully completed in late 2011. We are now continuing our clinical development of Adva-27a by conducting the next sequence of steps comprised of Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) manufacturing of a 2 kilogram quantity, Investigational New Drug (“IND”)-enabling studies, regulatory filing and Phase I clinical trials. We plan to conduct our Phase I clinical trials for Adva-27a at the Jewish General Hospital, Montreal, Canada, one of McGill University’s Hospital Centers. The planned indication will be pancreatic cancer in parallel to multidrug resistant breast cancer as Adva-27a has shown a positive effect on both of these cancer types for which there is currently little or no treatment options available. See “Clinical Trials” below.

We have licensed our technology on an exclusive basis from Advanomics Corporation, and we are planning to initiate our own research and development program as soon as practicable once financing is in place. There are no assurances that we will obtain the financing necessary to allow us to implement this aspect of our business plan, or to enter clinical trials. See "Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition -- Liquidity and Capital Resources," below.

Carbon-Difluoride Platform Technology

Many therapeutically important compounds contain diester bonds that link different parts of the molecule together. Diester bonds are naturally unstable often leading to suboptimal performance when the molecule is administered to patients. Diester bonds have specific nine-dimensional, as well as electrostatic properties that cannot be easily mimicked by other bonds. Bonds that do not mimic the diester bond correctly invariably render the compound inactive. In collaboration with Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Rouen in France (“INSA”), Advanomics has developed a way to replace the diester bond with a Carbon-Difluoride bond which acts as a diester isostere. An isostere is a different chemical structure that mimics the properties of the original. In the body, Carbon-Difluoride compounds are resistant to metabolic degradation but recognized similarly to the diester compounds (see Figure 1).

Figure 1

Our Lead Compound (Adva-27a)

Our initial drug candidate is Adva-27a, a GEM-difluorinated C-glycoside derivative of Podophyllotoxin, targeted for various forms of cancer. If we are successful in our current financing efforts, Adva-27a is expected to enter Phase I clinical trials for pancreatic cancer and multidrug resistant breast cancer in mid to late 2016 (see “Clinical Development Path” and “Clinical Trials” below). Etoposide, which is also a derivative of Podophyllotoxin, is currently on the market and is used to treat various types of cancer including leukemia, lymphoma, testicular cancer, lung cancer, brain cancer, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer, liver cancer and several other forms of cancer. Like Etoposide, Adva-27a is a Topoisomerase II inhibitor; however, unlike Etoposide and other anti-tumor drugs currently in use, Adva-27a is able to destroy multidrug resistant cancer cells. Adva-27a is a new chemical entity and has been shown to have distinct and more desirable biological properties compared to Etoposide. Most notably, Adva-27a is very effective against multidrug resistant breast cancer cells while Etoposide has no activity against this aggressive form of cancer (see Figure 2). In other side-by-side studies against Etoposide as a reference, Adva-27a showed markedly improved cell killing activity in various other cancer types, particularly prostate, colon and lung cancer (see Table 1). Our preclinical studies to date have shown that:

●	Adva-27a is effective at killing different types of multidrug resistant cancer cells, including:

	o	Breast Cancer Cells (MCF-7/MDR)

	o	Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells (H69AR)

	o	Uterine Cancer (MES-SA/Dx5)

	o	Pancreatic Cancer (Panc-1)

●	Adva-27a is unaffected by P-Glycoprotein, the enzyme responsible for making cancer cells resistant to anti-tumor drugs.

●	Adva-27a has excellent clearance time (half-life = 54 minutes) as indicated by human microsomes stability studies and pharmacokinetics data in rats.

●	Adva-27a clearance is independent of Cytochrome P450, a mechanism that is less likely to produce toxic intermediates.

●	Adva-27a is an excellent inhibitor of Topoisomerase II with an IC50 of only 13.7 micromolar (this number has recently been reduce to 1.44 micromolar as a result of resolving the two isomeric forms of Adva-27a).

●	Adva-27a has shown excellent pharmacokinetics profile as indicated by studies done in rats.

●	Adva-27a does not inhibit tubulin assembly.

These and other preclinical data have been published in ANTICANCER RESEARCH, a peer-reviewed International Journal of Cancer Research and Treatment. The manuscript entitled “Adva-27a, a Novel Podophyllotoxin Derivative Found to Be Effective Against Multidrug Resistant Human Cancer Cells” appeared in print in the October 2012 issue of the journal [ANTICANCER RESEARCH 32: 4423-4432 (2012)]. A copy of the full manuscript as it appeared in the journal is available on our website at www.sunshinebiopharma.com.

Clinical Development Path

The early stage preclinical studies for our lead compound, Adva-27a, were successfully completed in late 2011 and the results have been published [ANTICANCER RESEARCH 32: 4423-4432 (2012)]. We have been delayed in our implementation of our clinical development program due to lack of funding, but, while there are no assurances, we now believe we may have secured this funding. If we do receive this funding, we will continue our clinical development program of Adva-27a by conducting the next sequence of steps comprised of the following:

	●	GMP Manufacturing of 2 kilogram for use in IND-Enabling Studies and Phase I Clinical Trials

	●	IND-Enabling Studies

	●	Regulatory Filing (Fast-Track Status Anticipated)

	●	Phase I Clinical Trials (Multidrug Resistant Breast Cancer Indication)

GMP Manufacturing

On November 14, 2014, we entered into a Manufacturing Services Agreement with Lonza Ltd. and Lonza Sales Ltd. (hereinafter jointly referred to as “Lonza”), whereby we engaged Lonza to be the manufacturer of our Adva-27a anticancer drug (the “Lonza Agreement”). Lonza is one of the world’s leading and most-trusted manufacturers of pharmaceutical ingredients. Headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, Lonza has more than 40 major manufacturing facilities worldwide and is currently manufacturing 2 kilograms of our Adva-27a for clinical trials. The Lonza Agreement was effective November 10, 2014, has a term of 5 years, and may be extended or terminated earlier as provided in the Lonza Agreement. On November 30, 2014, we placed a Purchase Order for the manufacturing of 2 kilograms of our Adva-27a at an initial cost of $385,000 for the purchase of raw material and delivery of samples for process validation. Lonza has deferred the $385,000 payment until the samples for process validation are delivered, which is expected to occur in the third calendar quarter of 2015.

Pursuant to the terms of the Lonza Agreement, Lonza will manufacture our drug in accordance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”) in compliance with the regulations applicable in the U.S., Canada, Europe and other countries around the world relating to the manufacturing of medicinal products for human use. Lonza will build a master drug file for our Adva-27a drug and will have it ready for filing with regulatory authorities as may be required to secure ultimate drug approval. Kilogram level cGMP manufacturing for clinical trials shall commence following completion and testing of the process validation samples. Lonza is also responsible for procuring all required raw materials to prepare the batches, at our cost. The Agreement provides for us to maintain one representative of our Company at their facility during the manufacturing process. Quality assurance and control is the responsibility of both Lonza and us during the process.

We have the right to inspect, test and approve all batches to insure compliance with the manufacturing specifications, which is required to be completed within 30 days after release of a batch. In the event of a dispute regarding compliance with the manufacturing specifications, the dispute will be resolved ultimately by independent analysis and testing.

The Lonza Agreement contains customary warranties and disclaimers, confidentiality provisions as well as mutual indemnifications common in agreements of this type.

Clinical Trials

Adva-27a’s initial indication will be pancreatic cancer and multidrug resistant breast cancer for which there are currently little or no treatment options available. In June 2011 we concluded an agreement with McGill University’s Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, Canada to conduct Phase I clinical trials for these two indications. All aspects of the planned clinical trials in Canada will employ U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) standards at all levels. As a result of the Dutchess Agreement and other financing opportunities described below, we now anticipate that Phase I clinical trials will commence in mid to late 2016 and we estimate that it will take 18 months to complete, at which time we expect to file for limited marketing approval with the regulatory authorities in Canada and the FDA in the U.S. See “Marketing,” below.

Marketing

According to the American Cancer Society, nearly 1.5 million new cases of cancer are diagnosed in the U.S. each year. Given the terminal and limited treatment options available for the pancreatic cancer and multidrug resistant breast cancer indications we are planning to study, we anticipate being granted limited marketing approval (“compassionate-use”) for our Adva-27a following receipt of funding and a successful Phase I clinical trial. There are no assurances that either will occur. Such limited approval will allow us to make the drug available to various hospitals and health care centers for experimental therapy and/or “compassionate-use”, thereby generating some revenues in the near-term.

We believe that upon successful completion of Phase I Clinical Trials we may receive one or more offers from large pharmaceutical companies to buyout or license our drug. However, there are no assurances that our Phase I Trials will be successful, or if successful, that any pharmaceutical companies will make an acceptable offer to us. In the event we do not consummate such a transaction, we will require significant capital in order to manufacture and market our new drug.

Intellectual Property

We are the exclusive licensee for the U.S. territory of Advanomics Corporation’s Adva-27a which is covered by international patent applications filed on April 27, 2007 (PCT/FR2007/000697). These patent applications, which are now issued in Europe, Canada and the United States (US 8,236,935) and are still pending elsewhere around the world, were originally owned by Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Rouen (France) and have recently been purchased by Advanomics Corporation. On January 14, 2013, Advanomics Corporation filed a new patent application covering Adva-27a manufacturing processes as well as new Adva-27a derivatives and compositions.

Our Lead Anti-Cancer Compound, Adva-27a, in 3D

Development of New Business

On July 25, 2014, we formed Sunshine Biopharma Canada Inc., a Canadian wholly owned subsidiary for the purposes of conducting pharmaceutical business in Canada and elsewhere around the globe. While no assurances can be provided and subject to the availability of adequate financing, of which there is no assurance, we anticipate that Sunshine Biopharma Canada will soon secure a Drug Establishment License (DEL) from Health Canada and proceed to signing manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution contracts for various generic pharmaceuticals and biomedical products. This new effort broadens our business scope and provides us with the opportunity to generate revenues in the near to mid-term. We anticipate revenues to be generated through the export of generic pharmaceuticals overseas. There are no assurances that we will be able to sign applicable contracts or generate profits from these anticipated new operations. In addition to revenue generation, we anticipate that as a result of these activities, Sunshine Biopharma Canada will then be well positioned for the marketing and distribution of Adva-27a, our flagship oncology drug candidate currently being developed for the treatment of pancreatic cancer and multidrug resistant breast cancer, provided that Adva-27a is approved for such marketing and distribution, of which there can be no assurance.

While no assurances can be provided, we are also planning to expand our product line through acquisitions and/or in-licensing as well as in-house research and development.

Government Regulations

Our existing and proposed business operations are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations. We will be subject to significant regulations in the U.S. in order to obtain the approval of the FDA to offer our product on the market. The approximate procedure for obtaining FDA approval involves an initial filing of an IND application following which the FDA would give the go ahead with Phase I clinical (human) trials. As a result of the Dutchess Agreement and other financing opportunities described below, we now anticipate that this process will commence in mid to late 2016 and we estimate that this procedure will take 18 months to complete. Following completion of Phase I, the results are filed with the FDA and a request is made to proceed to Phase II. Similarly, following completion of Phase II the data are filed with the FDA and a request is made to proceed to Phase III. Following completion of Phase III, a request is made for marketing approval. Depending on various issues and considerations, the FDA could provide limited marketing approval on a humanitarian basis if the drug treats terminally ill patients with limited treatment options available. As of the date of this Report we have not made any filings with the FDA or other regulatory bodies in other jurisdictions. We have however had extensive discussions with clinicians at the McGill University’s Jewish General Hospital in Montreal where we plan to undertake our Phase I study for pancreatic cancer and multidrug resistant breast cancer they believe that Health Canada is likely to grant us a so-called fast-track process on the basis of the terminal nature of the cancer types which we will be treating. There are no assurances this will occur.

Employees

As of the date of this Report we have three (3) employees, our management. We anticipate that if we receive financing we will hire additional employees in the areas of accounting, regulatory affairs, marketing and laboratory personnel.

Competition

We will be competing with publicly and privately held companies engaged in developing cancer therapies. There are numerous other entities engaged in this business that have greater resources, both financial and otherwise, than the resources presently available to us. Nearly all major pharmaceutical companies including Amgen, Roche, Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Novartis, to name just a few, have on-going anti-cancer drug development programs and some of the drug they may develop could be in direct competition with our drug. Also, a number of small companies are also working in the area of cancer and could develop drugs that may be in competition with ours. However, none of these competitor companies can use molecules similar to ours as they would be infringing our patents.

Trademarks-Tradenames

We are the exclusive licensee for the U.S. territory of Advanomics’ Adva-27a which is covered by international patent applications filed on April 27, 2007 (PCT/FR2007/000697). These patent applications, which are now issued in Europe, Canada and the United States (US 8,236,935) and which are still pending elsewhere around the world, were originally owned by Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Rouen (France) and have recently been purchased by Advanomics.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2015, we had cash or cash equivalents of $148,702.

Net cash used in operating activities was $112,996 during the three month period ended March 31, 2015, compared to $90,780 for the three month period ended March 31, 2014. We anticipate that overhead costs in current operations will increase in the future once our research and development activities discussed above increase.

Cash flows from financing activities were $118,275 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015, compared to $130,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Cash flows used by investing activities were $0 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

In March 2015 our Board of Directors authorized a private offering of our Common Stock in Canada pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, wherein we are offering up to 60,000,000 shares of our Common Stock at an offering price of $0.015 Canadian per share for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $900,000 Canadian. As of the date of this Report we have accepted two subscriptions each of 10,000,000 shares of our Common Stock for $150,000 Canadian, aggregating $300,000 Canadian or approximately $236,550 US.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 we conducted a private placement of our Common Stock for the purposes of supporting our working capital whereby we sold 266,667 shares at a price of $0.20 per share and received proceeds of approximately $53,333 therefrom.

On March 27, 2014, we issued a Convertible Note to one accredited investor (as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) in the aggregate amount of $100,000 plus 500,000 Common shares (paid) and $20,000 (unpaid) for origination fee. This Convertible Note accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum and is convertible at the option of the Holder into shares of our Common Stock at $0.20 per share on or before September 27, 2014. Since the Note was issued at a premium no value is apportioned to the conversion feature when recording the issue per ASC 470-20-05. The debt and its interest are reported as if it were a nonconvertible debt. Upon conversion the issued stock may be valued at either the book value or the market value of the note.

On April 23, 2014, we entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Dutchess Opportunity Fund, II, LP (“Dutchess”), for the sale of up to $2.5 million of shares of our Common stock over a three-year commitment period. Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, we may, from time to time and in our sole discretion, issue shares of our Common stock to Dutchess at a price equal to ninety percent (90%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price during a Trading Day of our Common Stock during the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Put Notice Date, up to $2.5 million. In connection with the Investment Agreement, we also issued to Dutchess an engagement fee in the form of 400,000 “restricted” shares of our Common Stock.

The amount of each tranche under the Investment Agreement is limited to maximum $100,000 and we may only issue a Put Notice (as defined under the Investment Agreement) ten (10) Trading Days after each prior Put Notice Date. We are not obligated to utilize any of the $2.5 million available under the Investment Agreement and there are no minimum commitments or minimum use penalties.

The Investment Agreement does not impose any restrictions on our operating activities. During the term of the Investment Agreement, Dutchess is prohibited from engaging in any short selling or hedging transactions, either directly or indirectly, related to our Common stock.

On August 7, 2014, we elected to issue our initial put notice to Dutchess, wherein we requested that Dutchess purchase 930,233 shares of our Common Stock for $100,000. We utilized the proceeds from the sale of these shares to repay debt.

We are not generating revenue from our operations, and our ability to implement our business plan for the future will depend on the future availability of financing. Such financing will be required to enable us to further develop our drug research and development capabilities and continue operations. We intend to raise funds through private placements of our Common Stock and through short-term borrowing. We estimate that we will require approximately $5 million in debt and/or equity capital to fully implement our business plan in the future and there are no assurances that we will be able to raise this capital. While we have engaged in discussions with various investment banking firms and venture capitalists to provide us these funds, as of the date of this report we have not reached any agreement with any party that has agreed to provide us with the capital necessary to effectuate our business plan. Our inability to obtain sufficient funds from external sources when needed will have a material adverse effect on our plan of operation, results of operations and financial condition.

Our cost to continue operations as they are now conducted is nominal, but these are expected to increase once we commence Phase I clinical trials. We do not have sufficient funds to cover the anticipated increase in these expenses. We need to raise additional funds in order to continue our existing operations, to initiate research and development activities, and to finance our plans to expand our operations for the next year. If we are successful in raising additional funds, our research and development efforts will continue and expand.

Subsequent Events

On April 1, 2015, the holder of a $41,134 note elected to convert $27,588 into 3,800,000 shares of our Common Stock, leaving a note balance of $13,546.

On April 2, 2015, we sold 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value Common Stock for $150,000 Canadian as part of the private offering of Common Stock referenced above.

On April 8, 2015, we issued 1,250,000 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $0.04 per share for professional services valued at $50,000.

Inflation

Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the three month period ended March 31, 2015.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The following represents a summary of our critical accounting policies, defined as those policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information under this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures - Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.

These controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2015, at the reasonable assurance level. We believe that our consolidated financial statements presented in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented herein.

Inherent Limitations - Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three month period ended March 31, 2015, which were identified in conjunction with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In February 2015 we filed an action in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit for Miami-Dade County, Florida against Justin Keener, d/b/a JMJ Financial, arising out of a convertible note that we issued to the defendant. The complaint alleges among other things, claims of usury, fraudulent inducement, breach of contract, and injunctive and declaratory relief. As of the date of this report we have received a default and are awaiting a court date for the hearings to commence.

We are a defendant to one outstanding matter of litigation but do not believe it presents any material potential liability. We are not party to any other material legal proceedings, nor have any such actions been threatened against us.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information under this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we issued 28,895,296 shares of our Common Stock. Of these shares, 18,895,296 shares have been valued at $333,144, reducing debt by $166,990 and generating a loss on conversion of $166,154 for the period. We issued these shares in reliance upon exemptions from registration provided by Regulation D and Section 4/2 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We utilized the proceeds derived from the sale of these shares for working capital.

In March 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a private offering of our Common Stock in Canada pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, wherein we are offering up to 60,000,000 shares of our Common Stock at an offering price of $0.015 Canadian per share for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $900,000 Canadian. As of the date of this Report we have accepted two subscriptions each of 10,000,000 shares of our Common Stock for $150,000 Canadian aggregating $300,00 Canadian or approximately $236,550 US. We issued these shares in reliance upon exemptions from registration provided by Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We utilized the proceeds derived from the sale of these shares for working capital.

Subsequent Events

On April 1, 2015, the holder of a $41,134 note elected to convert $27,588 into 3,800,000 shares of our Common Stock, leaving a note balance of $13,546.

On April 2, 2015, we sold 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value Common Stock for $150,000 Canadian as part of the private offering of Common Stock mentioned above.

On April 8, 2015, we issued 1,250,000 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $0.04 per share for professional services valued at $50,000.

We issued these aforesaid two tranches of shares in reliance upon exemptions from registration provided by Regulation D and Section 4/2 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We utilized the proceeds derived from the sale of these shares for working capital.
