PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Formation and year of organization
We were incorporated on May 8, 2006, in the State of Nevada
under the name Smartec Holdings, Inc. Our authorized capital at formation
consisted of 75,000,000 shares of our common stock (the Common Shares) with a
par value of $0.001 per Common Share.
On November 26, 2007, we effected a forward stock split on a
twenty-to-one basis to increase our authorized capital from 75,000,000 Common
Shares with a par value of $0.001 per Common Share to 1,500,000,000 Common
Shares with a par value of $0.001 per Common Share.
On January 22, 2008, we changed our name from Smartec
Holdings, Inc. to MabCure, Inc. following the merger with our wholly owned
subsidiary, MabCure, Inc.
Our principal executive offices are located in Belgium at the
following address: De Schiervellaan 3/B1, 3500 Hasselt, Belgium. Our telephone
number is +32 (487) 425303.
Our Common Shares are traded on the over-the-counter market and
quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board (the
OTCBB
) under the
symbol MBCI. On March 31, 2009, the closing price for our Common Shares as
reported on the OTCBB was $0.50.
Bankruptcy, Receivership or Similar
Proceeding
We have never declared bankruptcy, have never been in
receivership, and have never been involved in any legal actions or
proceedings.
Recent Corporate Developments
On January 10, 2008, we entered into an asset purchase
agreement with Indigoleaf Associates Ltd. (Indigoleaf), and Dr. Amnon Gonenne,
pursuant to which we agreed to purchase all of Indigoleafs interest and rights
to a proprietary technology for the rapid and efficient generation of monoclonal
antibodies against desired antigens such as cancer markers, including, but not
limited to, the know-how, secrets, inventions, practices, methods, knowledge and
data owned by Indigoleaf. We purchased this proprietary technology pursuant to
an intellectual property transfer agreement and consummated the other
transactions contemplated by the asset purchase agreement on July 7, 2008.
Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, as amended on April 2, 2009, we agreed
to issue 25,638,400 (post forward stock split) shares of our common stock to
Indigoleaf in consideration for the purchase of Indigoleafs proprietary
technology, and we agreed to issue 6,409,600 (post forward stock split) shares
of our common stock to Dr. Gonenne, in consideration for his being one of the
founders of our cancer therapy and detection business. The shares issued to Dr.
Gonenne were described in error in the asset purchase agreement as having been
issued to Dr. Gonenne in consideration for future services that Dr. Gonenne
agreed to provide to us, and this error has been corrected in the April 2, 2009,
amendment.
On June 27, 2008, pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, we
closed a private placement consisting of 1,300,000 units of our securities at a
price of $1.00 per unit, for aggregate proceeds of $1,300,000. Each unit
consists of: (i) one common share; (ii) one non-transferable share purchase
warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock for a
period of 12 months commencing from the closing of the asset purchase agreement,
at an exercise price of $1.25 per common share; and (iii) one non-transferable
share purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of
common stock for a period of 24 months commencing from the closing of the asset
purchase agreement, at an exercise price of $1.25 per common share.
3
On October 30, 2008, we established, MabCure, N.V., a wholly
owned subsidiary in Belgium. The Belgian subsidiary was established in order to
accelerate the development and commercialization of MabCures proprietary
products for the early detection of cancer with specific antibodies and for the
creation of highly specific therapeutics (antibodies and novel drugs) against
cancer. MabCure, N.V. will be eligible to apply for research grants from the
Flemish Government.
On April 2, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the January
10, 2008 asset purchase agreement, pursuant to which the parties corrected the
asset purchase agreement to reflect the original intention of the parties that
the 6,409,600 shares of our common stock that had been issued to Dr. Gonenne had
been issued to Dr. Gonenne as founders shares in consideration for his being one
of the founders of our cancer therapy and detection business. The amendment to
the asset purchase agreement provided that up to 75 percent of the shares issued
to Dr. Gonenne,
i.e
., up to 4,807,200 shares of our common stock, are
subject to a lapsing repurchase right that may be exercised by us in the event
Dr. Gonennes employment agreement with us is terminated within 18 months of
July 7, 2008. The 4,807,200 shares of our common stock subject to the lapsing
repurchase right shall be released from such right in three 6-month intervals,
such that 1/3 of the shares (
i.e.
1,602,400 shares) shall be released
from the lapsing repurchase right at the end of each 6-month interval, provided
that at each respective 6-month interval Dr. Gonenne continues to be retained by
us pursuant to his employment agreement. All of the 4,807,200 shares of common
stock shall be released from the lapsing repurchase right and no longer subject
thereto upon the expiration of a continuous period of employment of 18 months
from July 7, 2008.
Business of Issuer
Principal Products and Markets
We are a development stage company originally in the business
of developing a detergent for removing pesticides from fruits and vegetables.
Because we were unsuccessful in implementing our business plan, we considered
various alternatives to ensure viability and solvency. We are currently in the
business of developing and commercializing our proprietary antibody technology
for the early detection of cancer and for the creation of highly specific
therapeutics (antibodies and novel drugs) against cancer.
We entered the business of early detection of cancer through
an asset purchase agreement dated January 10, 2008, with Indigoleaf and Dr.
Amnon Gonenne, pursuant to which we agreed to purchase all of Indigoleafs
interest and rights to a proprietary technology for the rapid and efficient
generation of monoclonal antibodies against desired antigens such as cancer
markers, including, but not limited to, the know-how, secrets, inventions,
practices, methods, knowledge and data owned by Indigoleaf. We purchased this
proprietary technology pursuant to an intellectual property transfer agreement
and consummated the other transactions contemplated by the asset purchase
agreement on July 7, 2008.
Distribution Methods of the Products
At present, we are conducting research and development using
our proprietary antibody technology for the early detection of cancer and for
the creation of highly specific therapeutics (antibodies and novel drugs)
against cancer. As such, our products are currently not ready for
distribution.
Status of any Publicly Announced New Product
At present, we have not publicly announced any new products but
we intend to continue with the research and development of our technology.
Competitive Business Conditions and our Competitive
Position in the Industry and Methods of Competition
We are not aware of any FDA-approved blood tests which compete
with our two leading Monoclonal Antibody (MAb") products for the diagnosis of
ovarian and prostate cancers or with our planned MAbs for colorectal and breast
cancers.
4
There may be companies attempting to develop genomics
(DNA-based) or proteomics (protein-pattern based) diagnostic tests for cancer.
We believe that these statistical-pattern-based tests are inherently susceptible
to errors, are time consuming, need technical expertise for both performance and
analyses, and are relatively expensive. Hence, our anti-ovarian cancer test may
have a clear advantage since it is expected to be highly specific, fast, and
simple, and should be competitive in price.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and the Names
of Our Principal Suppliers
We are currently in the research and development stage, and
thus have no suppliers of raw materials. As we conduct our research and
development, we use blood samples that contain various types of cancers at
various stages of the cancers evolvement. We obtain these blood samples from
hospitals and research institutions throughout Europe and the Far East. We rely
on these blood samples in order to effectively conduct our research. Should we
be unable to obtain blood samples that contain the specific cancer we are
researching, it may cause a delay in our research.
Dependence on one or a few Major Customers
At present, we are conducting research and development and, as
such, have no customers. We will likely plan and initiate sales strategies once
our product is fully developed.
Intellectual Property
At present, we do not own, either legally or beneficially, any
patents, registered trademarks, licenses, franchises, or concessions.
During 2008, we acquired a proprietary platform technology for
the rapid and efficient generation of monoclonal antibodies against desired
antigens such as cancer markers. This technology is based on an improvement of
the non-proprietary, classic hybridoma technology for the production of
antibodies in animals. Using our proprietary technology, we are able to generate
highly specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). While the technology is novel and
patentable, we have as of yet not filed any patents relating to the technology.
In addition, enforcing patent protection may be difficult since the products
(MAbs) created by the technology have no "finger prints" that could link them to
our technology. The protocols of our technology are known to our Chief Executive
Officer and our Chief Scientific Officer. In addition, the data is encrypted and
kept on CDs which have been placed in a safe deposit box at a bank.
We plan to file for patents in the near future for
cancer-specific antibodies and newly discovered antigens (i.e. novel cancer
markers).
Refer to Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements
entitled, Purchase of Intellectual Property and Stock Issuance to Founder for
further discussion on the purchase of our proprietary technology.
Governmental Approval
We are subject to the laws and regulations of those
jurisdictions in which we plan to license our technology. In the United States,
we will be required to obtain regulatory approval for our products from the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA), and in Europe we will be required to obtain the
Conformité Européene (CE mark).
Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations
on the Business
Our research and development activities and the manufacturing
and marketing of our proposed MAb products are subject to the laws and
regulations of governmental authorities in the United States and any other
countries in which our products are ultimately marketed. In the United States,
the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, among other activities, regulates new
product approvals to establish the safety and efficacy of the types of products
5
and technologies our Company is currently developing.
Governments in other countries have similar requirements for testing and
marketing.
Regulation by governmental authorities in the United States and
foreign countries is a significant factor in the development, manufacture and
marketing of our proposed MAb products and in our ongoing research and
development activities.
The products and technologies that we are currently researching
and developing will require regulatory approval by governmental agencies prior
to commercialization. Various federal statutes and regulations also govern or
influence the testing, manufacturing, safety, labeling, storage, record keeping,
and marketing of related products. The process of obtaining these approvals and
the subsequent compliance with applicable statutes and regulations require the
expenditure of substantial time and financial resources. Any failure by us or
our collaborators, licensors, or licensees to obtain, or any delay in obtaining
regulatory approval, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Research and Development Expenditures
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we
have incurred $3,806 and $0, respectively, in research and development
expenditures, which included transportation of laboratory equipment to our labs
in Hasselt, Belgium.
Employees
As of December 31, 2008, we had three employees on a full-time
basis; Dr. Amnon Gonenne, our President and Chief Executive Officer; Dr. Elisha
Orr, our Chief Scientific Officer; and Mr. Ron Kalfus, our Chief Financial
Officer.
Risk Factors related to our Business
We have no operating history and have maintained losses
since inception, which we expect to continue into the future.
We were incorporated on May 8, 2006, and have limited
operations. We have not realized any revenues to date. Our products are under
development and will not be ready for commercial sale until we have completed
development, conducted clinical trials, and received all regulatory approvals.
We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or
failure can be made. Our net loss from inception to December 31, 2008 is
$640,773. Based upon our proposed plans, we expect to incur operating losses in
future periods. This will happen because there are substantial costs and
expenses associated with the development and commercialization of our proposed
products. We may fail to generate revenues in the future. Failure to generate
revenues will cause us to either change our line of business or to go out of
business because we will not have the money to pay our ongoing expenses.
Our independent auditors report states that there is a
substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going
concern.
Our independent registered auditors, Davis Accounting Group
P.C., state in their audit report, dated April 3, 2009, included with this
Annual Report, that since we are a development stage company, have no
established source of revenue, and are dependent on our ability to raise capital
from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations, there is a substantial
doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern
.
We will, in all likelihood, continue to incur expenses without
generating significant revenues into the foreseeable future, at least until we
complete development of our products and commence their commercialization. Our
only source of funds to date has been the sale of our common stock. Because we
cannot ensure that we will be able to generate interest in our products or that
we will be able to generate any significant revenues or income, the
identification of new sources of equity financing will be difficult. If we are
successful in closing on any new
6
financing, existing investors will experience substantial
dilution. Our ability to obtain debt financing is also severely impacted by our
financial condition, and likely not even feasible, given that we do not have
revenues or profits to pay interest or repay principal.
As a result, if we are unable to obtain additional financing at
this stage in our operations, our business will fail and our stockholders may
lose some or all of their investment in our common stock.
Our inability to complete our product development
activities successfully may severely limit our ability to operate and finance
operations.
Commercialization of our technology will require significant
additional research and development as well as substantial clinical trials. We
believe that Europe and the United States will be the principal markets for our
technology, although we may elect to expand into other regions. We may not be
able to successfully complete development of our technology, or successfully
market our technology. Our research and development programs may not be
successful. Our technology may not prove to be safe and efficacious in clinical
trials, and we may not obtain the necessary regulatory approvals for our
technology. Whether or not any of these events occur, we may not have adequate
resources to continue operations for the period required to resolve any issues
delaying commercialization, and we may not be able to raise capital to finance
our continued operation during the period required for resolution of these
issues.
If we are not able to adequately protect our proprietary
technology, our Company will suffer a material adverse effect.
Our ability to compete successfully and achieve any revenue
will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology and
operate without infringing upon the rights of others. In addition, the departure
of any of our management or any significant technical personnel or consultants
we hire or retain in the future, the breach of their confidentiality and
non-disclosure obligations, or the failure to achieve our intellectual property
objectives may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, and results of operations. We believe our success depends upon the
knowledge and experience of our management and our ability to commercialize our
existing technology and to develop new technologies.
We may not be able to successfully protect our proprietary
technology, and our proprietary technology may otherwise become known, or
similar technology may be independently developed by competitors. While we
believe that we have adequately protected our proprietary technology, and we
intend to take all appropriate and reasonable legal measures to protect it in
the future, the use of our technology by a competitor could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
In addition, competitors may discover novel uses, develop similar or more
marketable technologies, or offer services similar to those offered by our
Company at lower prices. If we are unsuccessful in addressing the risks related
to protecting our proprietary technology, our business will most likely
fail.
We may be subject to intellectual property infringement
litigation, which may be time-consuming and costly
.
We may need to bring legal claims to enforce or protect our
intellectual property rights. Any litigation, whether successful or
unsuccessful, may result in substantial costs and a diversion of our Company's
resources. In addition, notwithstanding our rights to our intellectual property,
other persons may bring claims against us alleging that we have infringed on
their intellectual property rights or that our intellectual property rights are
not valid. Any claims against us, with or without merit, could be time consuming
and costly to defend or litigate, divert our attention and resources, result in
the loss of goodwill associated with our business, or require us to make changes
to our technology.
Clinical trials are expensive, time consuming, and
difficult to design and implement, and it is unclear whether the results of such
clinical trials will be favorable.
As of the date of this report, we have not commenced clinical
trials of our proposed products. Any clinical trials will be expensive and may
be difficult to implement due to the number of patients and testing sites that
may be
7
required, and could be subject to delay or failure at any stage
of the trials. We expect our current funding will be sufficient only to enable
us to continue our operations as currently planned until approximately the end
of fiscal 2009. Accordingly, we will require additional funds to conduct
clinical trials, obtain the necessary FDA approvals, and market our products.
Any delay or failure of, or adverse results from, clinical trials will likely
require us to obtain even further funding in order to address such delays or
failures, or to refocus our efforts on other product candidates and such delay,
failure, or adverse results could make it much more difficult or expensive for
us to obtain funding. Similarly, human clinical trials for our products will be
expensive and difficult to design and implement in part because they will be
subject to rigorous regulatory requirements. The clinical trial process is also
time-consuming. We estimate that clinical trials of our proposed products will
take at least several years to complete once initiated. Furthermore, we may
encounter problems that could cause us to abandon or repeat clinical trials,
further delaying or preventing the completion of such trials.
The results of our clinical trials may not support our
product claims.
Even if our clinical trials are completed as planned, we cannot
be certain that their results will support our product claims. Even if
pre-clinical testing and early clinical trials for a product are successful,
this does not ensure that later clinical trials will be successful, and we
cannot be sure that the results of later clinical trials will replicate the
results of prior clinical trials and pre-clinical testing or meet our
expectations. The clinical trial process may fail to demonstrate that our
products are safe for humans or effective for indicated uses. Any such failure
would likely cause us to abandon the product and may delay development of other
product candidates.
Our products are subject to government regulations and
approvals which may delay or prevent the marketing of potential products and
impose costly procedures upon our activities
The FDA and comparable agencies in state and local
jurisdictions and in foreign countries impose substantial requirements upon
pre-clinical and clinical testing, manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical
and bio-technology products. Lengthy and detailed pre-clinical and clinical
testing, validation of manufacturing and quality control processes, and other
costly and time-consuming procedures are required. Satisfaction of these
requirements typically takes several years and the time needed to satisfy them
may vary substantially, based on the type, complexity and novelty of the
pharmaceutical product. The effect of government regulation may be to delay or
to prevent marketing of potential products for a considerable period of time and
to impose costly procedures upon our activities. The FDA or any other regulatory
agency may not grant approval on a timely basis, or at all, for any product we
develop. Success in pre-clinical or early stage clinical trials does not assure
success in later stage clinical trials. Data obtained from pre-clinical and
clinical activities are susceptible to varying interpretations that could delay,
limit, or prevent regulatory approval. If regulatory approval of a product is
granted, such approval may impose limitations on the indicated uses for which a
product may be marketed. Further, even after we have obtained regulatory
approval, later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product may
result in restrictions on the product, including withdrawal of the product from
the market. Delay in obtaining or failure to obtain regulatory approvals would
make it difficult or impossible to market our products and would harm our
business.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our principal executive offices are located at De Schiervellaan
3/B1, 3500 Hasselt, Belgium. We believe that the condition of our lease property
is satisfactory, suitable and adequate for our current needs.

Holders of our Common Shares
As of March 31, 2009, there were eight registered stockholders
holding 60,348,000 Common Shares issued and outstanding.
Dividends
Since our inception, we have not declared nor paid any cash
dividends on our capital stock and we do not anticipate paying any cash
dividends in the foreseeable future. Our current policy is to retain any
earnings in order to finance our operations. Our Board of Directors will
determine future declarations and payments of dividends, if any, in light of the
then-current conditions it deems relevant and in accordance with applicable
corporate law.
There are no restrictions in our Articles of Incorporation or
Bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes,
however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to
the distribution of the dividend:
-
we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual
course of business; or
9
-
our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus
the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of stockholders who have
preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help you
understand our historical results of operations during the periods presented and
our financial condition. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with our
consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to consolidated
financial statements, and contains forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties. See section entitled Forward-Looking Statements above.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 8, 2006. We
are a development stage company with limited operations and no revenues from our
business operations. Our registered independent auditors have issued a going
concern opinion for this Annual Report. This means that our registered
independent auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as
an on-going business for the next 12 months.
Originally, we had been in the business of developing a
detergent for removing pesticides from fruits and vegetables. Because we were
not successful in implementing our initial business plan, we considered various
alternatives to ensure the viability and solvency of our Company.
On January 10, 2008, we entered into an asset purchase
agreement with Indigoleaf Associates Ltd. (Indigoleaf), and Dr. Amnon Gonenne,
pursuant to which we purchased all of Indigoleafs interest and rights to a
proprietary technology for the rapid and efficient generation of monoclonal
antibodies against desired antigens such as cancer markers, including, but not
limited to, the know-how, secrets, inventions, practices, methods, knowledge and
data owned by Indigoleaf. We purchased this proprietary technology pursuant to
an intellectual property transfer agreement and consummated the other
transactions contemplated by the asset purchase agreement on July 7, 2008.
Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, as amended on April 2, 2009, we issued
25,638,400 shares of our common stock to Indigoleaf in consideration for the
purchase of Indigoleafs proprietary technology, and we issued 6,409,600 shares
of our common stock to Dr. Gonenne in consideration for his being one of the
founders of our cancer therapy and detection business. The shares issued to Dr.
Gonenne were described in error in the asset purchase agreement as having been
issued to Dr. Gonenne in consideration for future services that Dr. Gonenne
agreed to provide to us, and this error has been corrected in the April 2, 2009
amendment.
On April 2, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the January
10, 2008 asset purchase agreement, pursuant to which the parties corrected the
asset purchase agreement to reflect the original intention of the parties that
the 6,409,600 shares of our common stock that had been issued to Dr. Gonenne had
been issued to Dr. Gonenne as founders shares in consideration for his being one
of the founders of our cancer therapy and detection business. The amendment to
the asset purchase agreement provided that up to 75 percent of the shares issued
to Dr. Gonenne,
i.e
., up to 4,807,200 shares of our common stock, are
subject to a lapsing repurchase right that may be exercised by us in the event
Dr. Gonennes employment agreement with us is terminated within 18 months from
July 7, 2008. The 4,807,200 shares of our common stock subject to the lapsing
repurchase right shall be released from such right in three 6-month intervals,
such that 1/3 of the shares (
i.e.
1,602,400 shares) shall be released
from the lapsing repurchase right at the end of each 6-month interval, provided
that at each respective 6-month interval Dr. Gonenne continues to be retained by
us pursuant to his employment agreement. All of the 4,807,200 shares of common
stock shall be released from the lapsing repurchase right and no longer subject
thereto upon the expiration of a continuous period of employment of 18 months
from July 7, 2008.
Recent Developments
On October 30, 2008, we established MabCure, N.V., a wholly
owned subsidiary in Belgium. The Belgian subsidiary was established in order to
accelerate the development and commercialization of our proprietary products for
the early detection of cancer with specific antibodies and for the creation of
highly specific therapeutics (antibodies and novel drugs) against cancer.
MabCure, N.V. will be eligible to apply for research grants from the Flemish
Government.
11
Over the next twelve months we plan to:
-
initiate our anti-ovarian cancer program with the intention of progressing
to a pilot clinical study;
-
initiate our anti-prostate cancer program with the objective of leading to
a pilot clinical study;
-
initiate the anti-breast cancer and colorectal cancer programs, with the
objective of creating novel MAbs against these cancers;
-
initiate the antigen identification program in order to identify and
sequence those antigens, or cancer markers, which are recognized by our novel
MAbs. The first antigens to be studied will be the melanoma- specific cancer
markers through the application of our anti-melanoma MAbs;
-
explore the utility of our cancer-specific MAbs for the visualization
in vivo
of tumors that have metastasized; and
-
hire two scientists for our Belgian subsidiary to assist in carrying out
the tasks described above.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the year ended December 31, 2008 and December 31,
2007
We had no revenues for the period from May 8, 2006 (date of
inception) through December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, we had not
commenced our research and development activities with our newly acquired
proprietary technology, as we were still in the process of establishing our labs
and equipping them with the necessary materials. However, in the first quarter
of 2009, we plan to commence conducting research and development using our
proprietary antibody technology for the early detection of cancer and for the
creation of highly specific therapeutics (antibodies and novel drugs) against
cancer.
General and administrative expenses were $532,158 for the year
ended December 31, 2008, compared to $106,265 for the year ended December 31,
2007. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to an increase
in our activity level. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of
payroll expenses, professional fees, and travel expenses.
Payroll expense was $186,140 for the year ended December 31,
2008, compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in
payroll expense was due to the hiring of our full-time employees. Professional
fees were $159,572 for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $100,265
for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in professional fees was due
to an increase in overall activity, such as the recent private placement and the
purchase of intellectual property from Indigoleaf (refer to sections entitled
Recent Private Placements
and
Purchase of Intellectual Property and
Stock Issuance to Founder
for further details of these transactions).
Travel expenses were $45,429 for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to
$0 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in travel expenses was due
to an increase in our activity.
Research and development expense was $3,806 for the year ended
December 31, 2008, compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2007. These
costs include transportation of laboratory supplies to our labs in Hasselt,
Belgium, in preparation for the commencement of our R&D in the first quarter
of 2009.
Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008, was $530,508
or $0.01 per share compared to $106,265 or $0.00 per share for the year ended
December 31, 2007. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was
43,097,814 for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to 49,684,932 (post
forward stock split) for the year ended December 31, 2007.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 2008
As of December 31, 2008, our current assets were $838,599 and
our current liabilities were $194,869, resulting in working capital of
$643,730.
12
As of December 31, 2008, our total liabilities were $286,475
compared to total liabilities of $49,265 as of December 31, 2007. The increase
in total liabilities as of December 31, 2008, compared to the year ended
December 31, 2007, was due to an increase in our general activity and capital
lease obligations.
Stockholders equity (deficit) increased from a deficit of
$49,265 as of December 31, 2007, to equity of $19,207,453 as of December 31,
2008. This was mainly a result of our recent asset purchase agreement, whereby
we acquired intellectual property in return for the issuance of stock, as well
as issued stock to Dr. Amnon Gonenne for his being one of the founders of our
cancer therapy and detection business. Refer to the section entitled,
Purchase of Intellectual Property and Stock Issuance to Founder
below
for further details. In addition, the increase in stockholders equity (deficit)
was also a result of a private placement sale of 1,300,000 shares of common
stock for $1 per share. Refer to the section entitled,
Recent Private
Placement
s below for further details.
For the year ended December 31, 2008, net cash used in
operating activities was $455,081 compared to net cash used in operating
activities of $90,265 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Net cash used in
operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2008, was comprised of a
net loss of $530,508 (2007: $106,265), donated services, depreciation and
amortization, and compensation stock of $13,464 (2007: $6,000), accounts
receivable of $(10,574) (2007: $0), prepaid expenses and other current assets of
$(20,463) (2007: $6,000), and accounts payable and accrued liabilities $93,000
(2007: $4,000).
For the year ended December 31, 2008, net cash used in
investing activities was $170,220 compared to net cash used in investing
activities of $0 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in net cash
used in investing activities for the period ended December 31, 2008, was mainly
the result of our purchase of equipment and vehicles.
Net cash flows from financing activities for the year ended
December 31, 2008, was $1,444,210 compared to net cash flows from financing
activities of $45,265 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in net
cash from financing activities for the period ended December 31, 2008, was the
result of a private placement completed during our second quarter as outlined in
the section below entitled,
Recent Private Placements
.
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations consist mainly of payments related
to capital and operating leases used in the operation of our business as well as
short-term debt. The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as

Recent Private Placements
On June 27, 2008, we closed a private placement consisting of
1,300,000 units of our securities at a price of $1.00 per unit, for aggregate
proceeds of $1,300,000. Each unit consists of (i) one common share, (ii) one
non-transferable share purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase
one common share for a period of one year from the closing of the asset purchase
transaction, at an exercise price of $1.25 per common share; and (iii) one
non-transferable share purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase
one common share for a period of two years from the closing of the asset
purchase transaction, at an exercise price of $1.25 per common share. One third
of the shares and all of the warrants issued in this financing are being held in
escrow pending completion
13
of additional financing, pursuant to escrow agreements, the
terms of which are set out in the asset purchase agreement.
Specifically, pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, we
undertook to use reasonable efforts to raise an additional amount of $950,000,
either through the exercise of warrants issued in connection with the financing
or through an alternative financing arrangement, within eight months from the
date on which we move into our research facility. Investors in the private
placement are required to exercise warrants, on a pro rata basis, in the
aggregate amount of at least $950,000 within 30 days after notice is received
from the Company regarding our achievement of a milestone related to the
development of our MAb technology (but no earlier than 90 days following the
closing of the asset purchase transaction referenced above), details of which
are set out in section 17(b) of the asset purchase agreement filed as an exhibit
to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 10, 2008. If, however, an
investor defaults on its commitment to exercise the warrants upon our
achievement of one of the milestones, all of its warrants held in escrow shall
immediately expire and its shares held in escrow will be transferred to the
Company. If we achieve the milestone referenced above but do not raise the
additional $950,000, we will issue up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of our
common stock to Dr. Gonenne and Indigoleaf for no consideration. Further, we
will be able to pursue any additional remedies available to us for breach of the
commitment to provide the financing. The funds, if any, raised from the
additional financing are to be used for the development of our proprietary
technology.
Purchase of Intellectual Property and Stock Issuance to
Founder
On January 10, 2008, we entered into an asset purchase
agreement with Indigoleaf Associates Ltd. (Indigoleaf), and Dr. Amnon Gonenne,
pursuant to which we agreed to purchase all of Indigoleafs interest and rights
to a proprietary technology for the rapid and efficient generation of monoclonal
antibodies against desired antigens such as cancer markers, including, but not
limited to, the know-how, secrets, inventions, practices, methods, knowledge and
data owned by Indigoleaf. We purchased this proprietary technology pursuant to
an intellectual property transfer agreement and consummated the other
transactions contemplated by the asset purchase agreement on July 7, 2008.
Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, as amended on April 2, 2009, we issued
25,638,400 (post forward stock split) shares of our common stock to Indigoleaf
in consideration for the purchase of Indigoleafs proprietary technology, and we
issued 6,409,600 (post forward stock split) shares of our common stock to Dr.
Gonenne in consideration for his being one of the founders of our cancer therapy
and detection business.
The purchase of intellectual property from Indigoleaf, was
accounted for under SFAS No. 142, Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets (SFAS No. 142). The value of the intellectual property acquired on
July 7, 2008, was calculated using the fair market value of the Companys stock
15 days before and after the acquisition times a discount factor to reflect the
fact that the issued stock is restricted and is escrowed for an extended period
of time under the agreement. This value amounted to $18,485,286 for the
25,638,400 (post forward stock split) shares issued to Indigoleaf and was
recorded as an intangible asset, intellectual property in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2008. We believe that there are
no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, or economic factors that limit
the useful life of this intangible asset. Consequently, we consider the useful
life of this asset to be indefinite and have recorded no amortization expense.
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we will, on a periodic basis, re-evaluate the
remaining useful life of this intangible asset to determine whether events and
circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life.
We issued 6,409,600 (post forward stock split) shares of our
common stock to Dr. Gonenne on July 7, 2008 in consideration for his being one
of the founders of our cancer therapy and detection business. The shares issued
to Dr. Gonenne are considered founders shares and are therefore valued at
par.
Going Concern
Our registered independent auditors included an explanatory
paragraph in their report on the accompanying financial statements regarding
concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial
statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that
lead to this disclosure by our registered
14
independent auditors. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.
We expect that the initial investment of $1,300,000 together
with the anticipated additional financing of $950,000, as discussed above, will
suffice to meet our short-term needs over the next twelve month period. We
currently estimate that we will require an additional $2,000,000 to $5,000,000
to fund our operations for the subsequent 12 to 24 month period.
There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain funds
required for our continued operation. There can be no assurance that additional
financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be
obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the
additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other
obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps
even cease the operation of our business. The issuance of additional equity
securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests
of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans
would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations,
liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to
investors.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation
of these financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities
as of the date of the financial statements and during the applicable periods. We
base these estimates on historical experience and on other factors that we
believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ
materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and
could have a material impact on our financial statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We estimate the fair value of financial instruments using the
available market information and valuation methods. Considerable judgment is
required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value may
not be indicative of the amounts we could realize in a current market exchange.
As of December 31, 2008, and December 31, 2007, the carrying value of our
financial instruments approximated fair value due to the short-term maturity of
these instruments.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, "
Earnings Per Share
,"
basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share
except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional
common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares
had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of
December 31, 2008, we had no stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and
excluded in the diluted loss per share computation.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes
(SFAS No. 109). Under SFAS No. 109,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary
differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax
and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and
15
liabilities are classified according to the financial statement
classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences.
We maintain a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax
assets. We established a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood
of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration our financial
position and results of operations for the current period. Future realization of
the deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income
within the carryforward period under the Federal tax laws.
Changes in circumstances, such as generating taxable income,
could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred
tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in
the year of the change in estimate.
Stock-based Compensation
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment
(SFAS No. 123R), which replaced SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
(SFAS No. 123) and superseded
APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees
. In
January 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107,
Share-Based Payment
, which provides supplemental implementation
guidance for SFAS No. 123R. SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the
financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the award. SFAS No.
123R was to be effective for interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or
after June 15, 2005, but in April 2005 the SEC issued a rule that will permit
most registrants to implement SFAS No. 123R at the beginning of their next
fiscal year, instead of the next reporting period as required by SFAS No. 123R.
The pro-forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 no longer will
be an alternative to financial statement recognition. Under SFAS No. 123R, we
must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing
share-based payments, the amortization method for compensation cost and the
transition method to be used at date of adoption. The transition provisions
include prospective and retroactive adoption methods. Under the retroactive
method, prior periods may be restated either as of the beginning of the year of
adoption or for all periods presented. The prospective method requires that
compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted
stock at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of SFAS No. 123R, while
the retroactive methods would record compensation expense for all unvested stock
options and restricted stock beginning with the first period restated. We have
adopted the requirements of SFAS No. 123R which did not have any impact on the
financial statements.
We account for equity instruments issued in exchange for the
receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with SFAS
No. 123 and the conclusions reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force in Issue
No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than
Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services (EITF
96-18). Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the
consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments
issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments
issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the
earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider
of goods or services as defined by EITF 96-18. As of December 31, 2008, we had
not adopted a stock option plan and had not granted any stock options.
Accordingly, no stock-based compensation related to stock options has been
recorded. .

REPORT OF REGISTERED INDEPENDENT AUDITORS - 2008
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
MabCure
Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
MabCure Inc. (a Nevada corporation in the development stage and formerly Smartec
Holdings, Inc.) and subsidiary as of December 31, 2008, and the related
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss), stockholders
equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended, and for the period
from inception (May 8, 2006) through December 31, 2008. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of
material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit
included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis
for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of MabCure Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2008, and the results
of their consolidated operations and their consolidated cash flows for the year
ended December 31, 2008, and for the period from inception (May 8, 2006) through
December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As
discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is in
the development stage and has not established any source of revenues to cover
its operating costs. As such, it has incurred an operating loss since inception.
Further, as of December 31, 2008 the cash resources of the Company were
insufficient to meet its planned business objectives. These and other factors
raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going
concern. Managements plan regarding these matters is also described in Note 2
to the financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

from inception (May 8, 2006) through December 31, 2007. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.
We conducted our audit 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. The Company
has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform,
an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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 audit provides 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 MabCure
Inc., formerly known as Smartec Holdings Inc., as of December 31, 2007, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the period then ended, and for
the period from inception (May 8, 2006) through December 31, 2007, in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
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 is in the development stage, has
limited working capital, has not yet received revenue from sales of products or
services, and has incurred losses from operations. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
Managements plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 2. The
accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Organization
MabCure Inc. (MabCure or the Company) was incorporated in
the State of Nevada on May 8, 2006, under the name of Smartec Holdings, Inc. The
Company originally was in the business of developing a detergent for removing
pesticides from fruits and vegetables. Because the Company was not successful in
implementing its business plan, it considered various alternatives to ensure the
viability and solvency of the Company. On January 10, 2008, the Company changed
its name to MabCure Inc. to better reflect its new business plan. On January 10,
2008, MabCure entered into an asset purchase agreement with Indigoleaf
Associates Ltd. (Indigoleaf), and Dr. Amnon Gonenne pursuant to which the
Company agreed to purchase all of Indigoleafs interest and rights to a
proprietary technology for the rapid and efficient generation of monoclonal
antibodies against desired antigens such as cancer markers, including, but not
limited to, the know-how, secrets, inventions, practices, methods, knowledge and
data owned by Indigoleaf. The Company purchased this proprietary technology
pursuant to an intellectual property transfer agreement and consummated the
other transactions contemplated by the asset purchase agreement on July 7, 2008.
Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, as amended on April 2, 2009, the
Company issued 25,638,400 (post forward stock split) shares of its common stock
to Indigoleaf in consideration for the purchase of Indigoleafs proprietary
technology, and the Company issued 6,409,600 (post forward stock split) shares
of common stock to Dr. Gonenne in consideration for being one of the founders of
the Companys cancer therapy and detection business.
On October 30, 2008, the Company established MabCure, N.V., a
wholly owned subsidiary in Belgium. The Belgian subsidiary was established in
order to accelerate the development and commercialization of MabCures
proprietary products for the early detection of cancer with specific antibodies
and for the creation of highly specific therapeutics (antibodies and novel
drugs) against cancer. MabCure, N.V. will be eligible to apply for research
grants from the Flemish Government.
On June 27, 2008, pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, the
Company closed a private placement consisting of 1,300,000 units of MabCures
securities at a price of $1.00 per unit, for aggregate proceeds of $1,300,000.
Each unit consists of: (i) one common share; (ii) one non-transferable share
purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of common
stock for a period of 12 months commencing from the closing of the asset
purchase agreement, at an exercise price of $1.25 per common share; and (iii)
one non-transferable share purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to
purchase one share of common stock for a period of 24 months commencing from the
closing of the asset purchase agreement, at an exercise price of $1.25 per
common share.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly owned Belgian subsidiary, MabCure, N.V. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Development Stage Company
The Company is in the development stage. Since its formation,
the Company has not realized any revenues from its planned operations. The
Company originally was in the business of developing a detergent for removing
pesticides from fruits and vegetables. Currently, the Company is in the business
of developing and commercializing its proprietary antibody technology for the
early detection of cancer and for the creation of highly specific therapeutics
(antibodies and novel drugs) against cancer.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2008, AND 2007
|
Estimates
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared
on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. The preparation of consolidated 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 as of
December 31, 2008, and 2007, and revenues and expenses for the years ended
December 31, 2008, and 2007, and cumulative from inception. Actual results could
differ from those estimates made by management.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting within the consolidated statements of
cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to
withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash
equivalents.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost. Minor
additions and renewals are expensed in the year incurred. Major additions and
renewals are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. When
property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain
or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. The
Company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. The estimated useful
lives for significant property and equipment categories are as follows:
Computers and office equipment
|
3 years
|
Computer software
|
3 years
|
Furniture and Fixtures
|
5-10 years
|
Equipment and tools
|
5 years
|
Vehicles
|
5 years
|
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets
and the related estimated remaining lives at each balance sheet date. The
Company records an impairment or change in useful life whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable or the useful life has changed. For the years ended December 31,
2008, and 2007, no events or circumstances occurred for which an evaluation of
the recoverability of long-lived assets was required.
Lease Obligations
All noncancellable leases with an initial term greater than one
year are categorized as either capital or operating leases. Assets recorded
under capital lease obligations are amortized according to the same methods
employed for property and equipment or over the term of the related lease, if
shorter.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments
using the available market information and valuation methods. Considerable
judgment is required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates of
fair value may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a
current market exchange. As of December 31, 2008, and 2007, the carrying value
of the Companys financial instruments approximated fair value due to the
short-term maturity of these instruments.

Foreign Currency Translation
MabCure accounts for the foreign currency translation pursuant
to SFAS No. 52,
Foreign Currency Translation
(SFAS No. 52). The
functional currency of the Companys Belgian subsidiary is the euro. Under SFAS
No. 52, all assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars
using the current exchange rate at the end of each fiscal period. Revenues and
expenses are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout
the respective periods. Translation adjustments are included in other
comprehensive income (loss) for the period. Certain transactions of the
Companys Belgian subsidiary are denominated in United States dollars.
Translation gains or losses related to such transactions are recognized for each
reporting period in the related consolidated statement of operations and
comprehensive income (loss).
Revenue Recognition
The Company is in the development stage and has yet to realize
revenues from planned operations. It plans to recognize revenues from developing
and commercializing its proprietary antibody technology for the early detection
of cancer and for the creation of highly specific therapeutics (antibodies and
novel drugs) against cancer. Revenues will be recognized for financial reporting
purposes when delivery has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an
agreement, acceptance has been approved by the customer, the fee is fixed or
determinable, and collection of the related receivable is probable.
Website Development Costs
The Company recognizes website development costs in accordance
with Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) No. 00-02,
Accounting for Website
Development Costs
. As such, the Company expenses all costs incurred that
relate to the planning and post implementation phases of development of its
website. Direct costs incurred in the development phase are capitalized and
recognized over the estimated useful life. Costs associated with repair or
maintenance for the website are included in general and administrative expenses
in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31,
2008, the Company had capitalized $3,640 related to website development costs.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
In accordance with SFAS No. 128,
Earnings Per Share
(SFAS No. 128), basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similarly to basic loss
per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number
of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential
common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
As of December 31, 2008, and 2007, the Company had no stock equivalents that
were anti-dilutive and excluded in the diluted loss per share computation.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes
(SFAS No. 109). Under SFAS No. 109,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary
differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax
and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are
classified according to the consolidated financial statement classification of
the assets and liabilities generating the differences.
The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to
deferred tax assets. The Company establishes a valuation allowance based upon
the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into
consideration the Companys consolidated financial position and results of
operations for the current period. Future realization of the

|
deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient
taxable income within the carryforward period under the Federal tax laws.
Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating
taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the
related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be
included in income in the year of the change in estimate.
Stock-based Compensation
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment
(SFAS No. 123R), which replaced SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
(SFAS No. 123) and superseded
APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.
In
January 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107,
Share-Based Payment,
which provides supplemental implementation
guidance for SFAS No. 123R. SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the
consolidated financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the
award. SFAS No. 123R was to be effective for interim or annual reporting periods
beginning on or after June 15, 2005, but in April 2005, the SEC issued a rule
that will permit most registrants to implement SFAS No. 123R at the beginning of
their next fiscal year, instead of the next reporting period as required by SFAS
No. 123R. The pro-forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 no
longer will be an alternative to consolidated financial statement recognition.
Under SFAS No. 123R, the Company must determine the appropriate fair value model
to be used for valuing share-based payments, the amortization method for
compensation cost and the transition method to be used at date of adoption. The
transition provisions include prospective and retroactive adoption methods.
Under the retroactive method, prior periods may be restated either as of the
beginning of the year of adoption or for all periods presented. The prospective
method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock
options and restricted stock at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption
of SFAS No. 123R, while the retroactive methods would record compensation
expense for all unvested stock options and restricted stock beginning with the
first period restated. The Company has adopted the requirements of SFAS No. 123R
which did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements. As of
December 31, 2008, and 2007, the Company had not adopted a stock option plan and
had not granted any stock options. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation
related to stock options has been recorded from inception through December 31,
2008.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange
for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance
with SFAS No. 123 and the conclusions reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force
in Issue No. 96-18,
Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to
Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or
Services
(EITF 96-18). Costs are measured at the estimated fair market
value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity
instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity
instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined
on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the
provider of goods or services as defined by EITF 96-18. For the year ended
December 31, 2008, the Company issued 6,409,600 shares of common stock to an
officer and Director of the Company as a founder valued at $6,410.
Reclassification
Certain 2007 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 presentation.
(2) Development Stage Activities and Going Concern
The Company is currently in the development stage. The original
business plan of the Company was to develop a detergent for removing pesticides
from fruits and vegetables. However, the Company has changed its business plan
to develop and commercialize its proprietary antibody technology for the early
detection of cancer and for the creation of highly specific therapeutics
(antibodies and novel drugs) against cancer.
While management of the Company believes that it will be
successful in its capital formation and planned operating activities, there can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional equity
capital, or be successful in the

|
development and commercialization of its proprietary antibody
technology for the early detection of cancer or for the creation of highly
specific therapeutics (antibodies and novel drugs) against cancer that will
generate sufficient revenues to sustain the operations of the Company.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a
going concern. MabCure has not established any source of revenues to cover its
operating costs, and as such, has incurred an operating loss since inception.
Further, as of December 31, 2008, and 2007, the cash resources of the Company
were insufficient to meet its current business plan. These and other factors
raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going
concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that
may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going
concern.
(3) Purchase of Intellectual Property and Stock Issuance to
Founder
On January 10, 2008, MabCure entered into an asset purchase
agreement with Indigoleaf Associates Ltd. (Indigoleaf) and Dr. Amnon Gonenne
pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase all of Indigoleafs interest
and rights to a proprietary technology for the rapid and efficient generation of
monoclonal antibodies against desired antigens such as cancer markers,
including, but not limited to, the know-how, secrets, inventions, practices,
methods, knowledge and data owned by Indigoleaf. The Company purchased this
proprietary technology pursuant to an intellectual property transfer agreement
and consummated the other transactions contemplated by the asset purchase
agreement on July 7, 2008. Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, as amended
on April 2, 2009, the Company issued 25,638,400 (post forward stock split)
shares of its common stock to Indigoleaf in consideration for the purchase of
Indigoleafs proprietary technology, valued at $18,486,286 and, the Company,
issued 6,409,600 (post forward stock split) shares of common stock to Dr.
Gonenne in consideration for being one of the founders of the Companys cancer
therapy and detection business.
On April 2, 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to the
asset purchase agreement dated January 10, 2008, whereby the parties specified
their original intention that the 6,409,600 (post forward stock split) shares of
the Companys common stock that were issued to Dr. Gonenne were, in fact, issued
to Dr. Gonenne as founders shares as consideration for being one of the
founders of the Companys cancer therapy and detection business. The amendment
to the asset purchase agreement provided that up to 75 percent of the shares
issued to Dr. Gonenne, i.e., up to 4,807,200 (post forward stock split) shares
of the Companys common stock, are subject to a lapsing repurchase right that
may be exercised by the Company in the event Dr. Gonennes employment agreement
with the Company is terminated within 18 months from July 7, 2008. The 4,807,200
(post forward stock split) shares of the Companys common stock subject to the
lapsing repurchase right shall be released from such right in three 6-month
intervals, such that 1/3 of the shares (i.e. 1,602,400 post forward stock
shares) shall be released from the lapsing repurchase right at the end of each
6-month interval, provided that at each respective 6-month interval, Dr. Gonenne
continues to be retained by the Company pursuant to his employment agreement.
All of the 4,807,200 shares of common stock shall be released from the lapsing
repurchase right and no longer subject thereto upon the expiration of a
continuous period of employment of 18 months from July 7, 2008.
The purchase of intellectual property from Indigoleaf, was
accounted for under SFAS No. 142,
Accounting for Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets
(SFAS No. 142). The value of the intellectual property
acquired on July 7, 2008, was calculated using the fair market value of the
Companys common stock 15 days before and after the acquisition times a discount
factor to reflect the fact that the issued stock is restricted and is escrowed
for an extended period of time under the agreement. This value amounted to
$18,485,286 for the 25,638,400 (post forward stock split) shares issued
Indigoleaf and was recorded by the Company as an intangible asset, intellectual
property in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31,
2008. The management of the Company believes that there are no legal,
regulatory, contractual, competitive, or economic factors that limit the useful
life of this intangible asset. Consequently, the Company considers the useful
life of this asset to be indefinite and has recorded no amortization expense. In
accordance with SFAS

|

|
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

|
No. 142, the Company will, on a periodic basis, re-evaluate the
remaining useful life of this intangible asset to determine whether events and
circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life.
(4) Loan Payable and Lease Obligations
Leases:
Capital Leases
The Company currently has capital lease commitments for
furniture, fixtures, and vehicles. As of December 31, 2008, the total cost of
capitalized leases presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets
amounted to $154,054, (2007: $0). Amortization of the capital lease costs is
included in depreciation and amortization expense.
Operating Lease
In addition, the Company currently has operating lease
commitments for office space and employee housing with unrelated parties for a
period of up to three years through September 2011. Lease expense related to the
office space for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $6,826 (2007: $0). Lease
expense related to employee housing for the year ended December 31, 2008 was
$11,674 (2007: $0).

$58,258 and $45,265, respectively.
(5) Donated Capital
The Company records transactions of commercial substance with
related parties at fair value as determined by management. The Company

|
As of June 30, 2008, the total value of donated services was
$13,000, recorded under the Stockholders equity (deficit) section of the
consolidated balance sheets.
Beginning July 1, 2008, the Company no longer recorded donated
services of Directors. Future services performed by Company Directors will be
paid using cash and expensed as incurred.
(6) Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 1,500,000,000 shares of
$0.001 par value common stock. All common stock shares have equal voting rights,
are non-assessable, have one vote per share, and entitle stockholders to receive
dividends. Upon liquidation or wind-up, stockholders are entitled to participate
equally with respect to any distribution of net assets or any dividends which
may be declared. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of
more than 50 percent of the common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect
all of the Directors of the Company.
On November 26, 2007, the Company implemented a 20-for-1
forward stock split of its authorized, issued, and outstanding common stock. As
a result, the authorized capital of the Company increased from 75,000,000 shares
of common stock with a par value of $0.001, to 1,500,000,000 shares of common
stock with a par value of $0.001. The accompanying consolidated financial

split.
On December 20, 2006, the Company issued 51,000,000 (post
forward stock split) shares of common stock at a price of $0.001 per share for
total proceeds of $51,000.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had net operating loss
carryforwards for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $640,773 (2007:
$110,265) that may be offset against future taxable income. The net operating
loss carryforwards expire in the year 2028. Current tax laws limit the amount of
loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial
change in ownership occurs or a change in the nature of the business. Therefore,
the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.
No tax benefit has been reported in the consolidated financial
statements for the realization of loss carryforwards, as the Company believes
there is high probability that the carryforwards will not be utilized in the
foreseeable future. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss
carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
(8) Related Party Transactions
As of December 31, 2008, the Company owed to multiple Directors
and officers of the Company a total of $8,138 (2007: $0) for various working
capital loans received by the Company. The loans are unsecured, non-interest
bearing, and have no terms for repayment.
(9) Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to various commitments under contractual
and other commercial obligations. Refer to Note 4 entitled Loan Payable and
Lease Obligations for minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating
and capital lease obligations as of December 31, 2008.
Effective July 7, 2008, the Company entered into an employment
agreement with Dr. Amnon Gonenne, its Chief Executive Officer. The initial
annual base salary is $168,000, with an annual review by the Board of Directors.

Directors. The agreement also includes provisions for benefits. The term of
employment shall continue for as long as the executive is employed by the
Company, subject to termination as provided in the agreement.
(10) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,
The Fair
Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities
(SFAS No. 159), which
permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items
at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. An
entity would report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair
value option had been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The
objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the
opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earrings caused by measuring
related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge
accounting provisions. The decision about whether to elect the fair value option
is applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions; the decision is
irrevocable; and it is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of
instruments. The statement requires disclosures that facilitate comparisons (a)
between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets
and liabilities and (b) between assets and liabilities in the financial
statements of an entity that selects different measurement attributes for
similar assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early
adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year provided the entity
also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157. Upon implementation, an
entity shall report the effect of the first re-measurement to fair value as a
cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Since
the provisions of SFAS No. 159 are applied prospectively, any potential impact
will depend on the instruments selected for fair value measurement at the time
of implementation. The management of MabCure is of the opinion that the adoption
of this new pronouncement will not have an impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment
of ARB No. 51
(SFAS No. 160), which establishes accounting and reporting
standards to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of financial
information in its consolidated financial statements. This is accomplished by
requiring all entities, except not-for-profit organizations, that prepare
consolidated financial statements to:
|
a)
|
clearly identify, label, and present ownership interests
in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent in the consolidated
statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the
parents equity;
|
|
b)
|
clearly identify and present both the parents and the
noncontrollings interest attributable consolidated net income on the face
of the consolidated statement of income;
|
|
c)
|
consistently account for changes in parents ownership
interest while the parent retains it controlling financial interest in
subsidiary and for all transactions that are economically similar to be
accounted for similarly;
|
|
d)
|
measure of any gain, loss, or retained noncontrolling
equity at fair value after a subsidiary is deconsolidated; and
|
|
e)
|
provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and
distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the
noncontrolling owners.

This statement also clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in
a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be
reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is
effective for fiscal years and interim periods on or after December 15, 2008.
The management of MabCure does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to
have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an
amendment of FASB Statement 133
(SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 enhances
required disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including
enhanced disclosures regarding how: (a) an entity uses derivative instruments;
(b) derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS
No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
;
and (c) derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys
financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Specifically, SFAS
No. 161 requires:
-
Disclosure of the objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed
in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation;
-
Disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains
and losses in a tabular format;
-
Disclosure of information about credit-risk-related contingent features;
and
-
Cross-reference from the derivative footnote to other footnotes in which
derivative-related information is disclosed.
SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods
beginning after November 15, 2008. Earlier application is encouraged. The
management of MabCure does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have
a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 162,
The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(SFAS No. 162).
SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework
for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of
nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The sources of
accounting principles that are generally accepted are categorized in descending
order as follows:
|
a)
|
FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards and
Interpretations, FASB Statement 133 Implementation Issues, FASB Staff
Positions, and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)
Accounting Research Bulletins and Accounting Principles Board Opinions
that are not superseded by actions of the FASB.
|
|
|
|
|
b)
|
FASB Technical Bulletins and, if cleared by the FASB,
AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements of
Position.
|
|
|
|
|
c)
|
AICPA Accounting Standards Executive Committee Practice
Bulletins that have been cleared by the FASB, consensus positions of the
FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), and the Topics discussed in
Appendix D of EITF Abstracts (EITF D-Topics).
|
|
|
|
|
d)
|
Implementation guides (Q&As) published by the FASB
staff, AICPA Accounting Interpretations, AICPA Industry Audit and
Accounting Guides and Statements of Position not cleared by the FASB, and
practices that are widely recognized and prevalent either generally or in
the industry.
|
SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SECs approval
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendment to its authoritative
literature. It is only effective for nongovernmental entities; therefore, the
GAAP hierarchy will remain in SAS 69 for state and local governmental entities
and federal governmental entities. The management of MabCure does not expect the
adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.

On May 26, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 163,
Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts
(SFAS No.
163). SFAS No. 163 clarifies how FASB Statement No. 60,
Accounting and
Reporting by Insurance Enterprises
(SFAS No. 60), applies to financial
guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises, including the
recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. It also
requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts.
The accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 163 are
intended to improve the comparability and quality of information provided to
users of financial statements by creating consistency. Diversity exists in
practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance
enterprises under SFAS No. 60,
Accounting and Reporting by Insurance
Enterprises.
That diversity results in inconsistencies in the recognition
and measurement of claim liabilities because of differing views about when a
loss has been incurred under FASB Statement No. 5,
Accounting for
Contingencies
(SFAS No. 5). SFAS No. 163 requires that an insurance
enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there
is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial
obligation. It also requires disclosure about (a) the risk-management activities
used by an insurance enterprise to evaluate credit deterioration in its insured
financial obligations and (b) the insurance enterprises surveillance or watch
list.
SFAS No. 163 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within
those fiscal years, except for disclosures about the insurance enterprises
risk-management activities. Disclosures about the insurance enterprises
risk-management activities are effective the first period beginning after
issuance of SFAS No. 163. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is
not permitted. The management of MabCure does not expect the adoption of this
pronouncement to have material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
(11) Subsequent Events
On March 15, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with a
third party to provide investor and public relations services to the Company.
The agreement term is 18 months, during which the Company shall pay the third
party $13,500 monthly for services provided. Also, as part of the agreement, the
Company shall deliver two warrants to purchase a total of 300,000 shares (post
forward stock split) of the Companys common stock at $1.00 per share purchase
price.
On April 2, 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to the
asset purchase agreement dated January 10, 2008, whereby the parties specified
their original intention that the 6,409,600 (post forward stock split) shares of
the Companys common stock that were issued to Dr. Gonenne were, in fact, issued
to Dr. Gonenne as founders shares as consideration for being one of the
founders of the Companys cancer therapy and detection business. The amendment
to the asset purchase agreement provided that up to 75 percent of the shares
issued to Dr. Gonenne, i.e., up to 4,807,200 (post forward stock split) shares
of the Companys common stock, are subject to a lapsing repurchase right that
may be exercised by the Company in the event Dr. Gonennes employment agreement
with the Company is terminated within 18 months from July 7, 2008. The 4,807,200
(post forward stock split) shares of the Companys common stock subject to the
lapsing repurchase right shall be released from such right in three 6-month
intervals, such that 1/3 of the shares (i.e. 1,602,400 post forward stock
shares) shall be released from the lapsing repurchase right at the end of each
6-month interval, provided that at each respective 6-month interval, Dr. Gonenne
continues to be retained by the Company pursuant to his employment agreement.
All of the 4,807,200 shares of common stock shall be released from the lapsing
repurchase right and no longer subject thereto upon the expiration of a
continuous period of employment of 18 months from July 7, 2008.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On November 3, 2008, the Company engaged Davis Accounting Group
P.C. as its registered independent auditor and terminated Maddox, Unger
Silberstein, PLLC (the "Previous Accountants") from that role. The change in
accountants was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and did not
result from any disagreements with the Previous Accountants.
In connection with the audit of the Company's financial
statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2007,
and the subsequent interim period, (i) there were no disagreements with the
Previous Accountants on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the Previous Accountants' satisfaction, would
have caused the Previous Accountants to make reference in connection with its
opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, and (ii) there were no
"reportable events," as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K.
The audit report of the Previous Accountants on the financial
statements of the Company as of and for the periods ended December 31, 2006, and
December 31, 2007, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion,
nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles, except that the audit report on the financial statements of the
Company as of December 31, 2007 and for the period of inception to December 31,
2007, contained an uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.
On November 3, 2008, the Company provided the Previous
Accountants with its disclosures in the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K
disclosing the dismissal of the Previous Accountants, and the Company requested
in writing that the Previous Accountants furnish the Company with a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not they
agree with such disclosures. The Previous Accountants response is filed as an
exhibit to the Report on Form 8-K filed on November 3, 2008.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other
procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information
required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. Disclosure controls
and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports
that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated
to the issuers management, including the principal executive and principal
financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and
procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and
with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of the end of
the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(b) Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Securities
Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with U.S. GAAP.
17
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an assessment of the
design and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
the fiscal year covered by this Report based on the framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission in
Internal ControlIntegrated Framework.
Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of
December 31, 2008, the Companys internal control over financial reporting was
effective.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of
our Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the
Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
SEC that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this Annual
Report.
(c) Change in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There were no significant changes to our internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) during our fourth fiscal quarter, that could materially affect, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

20
Code of Ethics
At present, we have not adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to
our principal executive, financial and accounting officers; however, we plan to
implement such a Code in the near future.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our Directors,
executive officers and persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered
class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of
beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports
concerning their ownership of our Common Shares and other equity securities, on
Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Directors, executive officers and persons who own
more than 10 percent of a registered class of our equity securities are required
by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports
that they file.
Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received
by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe
that all filing requirements applicable to our Directors, executive officers and
persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered class of our equity
securities were complied with.
Audit Committee
We do not presently have a separately constituted audit
committee or any other committees of our Board of Directors. Nor do we have an

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
Since the beginning of the fiscal year preceding the last
fiscal year and except as disclosed below, none of the following persons has had
any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction to which our Company
was or is a party, or in any proposed transaction to which our Company proposes
to be a party:
-
any Director or officer of our Company;
-
any proposed Director of officer of our Company;
-
any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying
more than 5 percent of the voting rights attached to our common stock; or
24
-
any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons
(including a spouse, parents, children, siblings, and in-laws).
On January 10, 2008, we entered into an asset purchase
agreement with Indigoleaf Associates Ltd. (Indigoleaf), and Dr. Amnon Gonenne,
our President, Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer), and a
Director, pursuant to which we purchased all of Indigoleafs interest and rights
to a proprietary technology for the rapid and efficient generation of monoclonal
antibodies against desired antigens such as cancer markers, including, but not
limited to, the know-how, secrets, inventions, practices, methods, knowledge and
data owned by Indigoleaf. We purchased this proprietary technology pursuant to
an intellectual property transfer agreement and consummated the other
transactions contemplated by the asset purchase agreement on July 7, 2008.
Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, as amended on April 2, 2009, we issued
25,638,400 (post forward stock split) shares of its common stock to Indigoleaf
in consideration for the purchase of Indigoleafs proprietary technology, and,
we issued 6,409,600 (post forward stock split) shares of our common stock to Dr.
Gonenne in consideration for his being one of the founders of our cancer therapy
and detection business. The shares issued to Dr. Gonenne were described in error
in the asset purchase agreement as having been issued to Dr. Gonenne in
consideration for future services that Dr. Gonenne agreed to provide to us, and
this error has been corrected in the April 2, 2009 amendment.
As of December 31, 2008, we owed to certain of our Directors
and officers $6,608 for various working capital loans received by us through
December 31, 2008. The loans are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and have no
terms for repayment.
On April 2, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the January
10, 2008, asset purchase agreement, pursuant to which the parties corrected the
asset purchase agreement to reflect the original intention of the parties that
the 6,409,600 shares of our common stock that had been issued to Dr. Gonenne had
been issued to Dr. Gonenne as founders shares in consideration for his being one
of the founders of our cancer therapy and detection business. The amendment to
the asset purchase agreement provided that up to 75 percent of the shares issued
to Dr. Gonenne,
i.e
., up to 4,807,200 shares of our common stock, are
subject to a lapsing repurchase right that may be exercised by us in the event
Dr. Gonennes employment agreement with us is terminated within 18 months of
July 7, 2008. The 4,807,200 shares of our common stock subject to the lapsing
repurchase right shall be released from such right in three 6-month intervals,
such that 1/3 of the shares (
i.e.
1,602,400 shares) shall be released
from the lapsing repurchase right at the end of each 6-month interval, provided
that at each respective 6-month interval Dr. Gonenne continues to be retained by
us pursuant to his employment agreement. All of the 4,807,200 shares of common
stock shall be released from the lapsing repurchase right and no longer subject
thereto upon the expiration of a continuous period of employment of 18 months
from July 7, 2008.
Dr. Amnon Gonenne is not an Independent Director of the Company
as he is an executive officer. Mr. Itshak Zivan is an Independent Director. The
determination of independence of Directors has been made using the definition of
"Independent Director" contained under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15).

other services. Our Board approves these services on a case-by-case basis.
