Molecular Pharmacology (USA) Limited
(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
(Unaudited)
31 March 2008
 

1.       Nature and Continuance of Operations

Molecular Pharmacology (USA) Limited (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Nevada on 1 May 2002 under the name Blue Hawk Ventures, Inc.  The Company changed its name to Molecular Pharmacology (USA) Limited on 29 August 2005.  At the same time, the Company completed a four for one forward split of its issued and outstanding share capital and altered its share capital to 200,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share; and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.

The Company is a development stage enterprise, as defined in Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 7, " Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises ".  The Company is devoting all of its present efforts to securing and establishing a new business and its current planned principle operations have not commenced.  Accordingly, no revenue has been derived during the organization period.

Up until the fall of 2005, the Company was in the business of mineral exploration and development of a mineral property.  The Company allowed the option on its mineral claim to lapse in the fall of 2005.

On 13 October 2005, the Company entered into a distribution and supply agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") with Molecular Pharmacology Limited ("MPLA").  MPLA is incorporated under the laws of Australia and is a wholly owned subsidiary company of PharmaNet Group Limited ("PharmaNet"), an Australian company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.  Under the terms of the distribution and supply agreement, the Company has the exclusive distribution rights to distribute, market, promote, detail, advertise and sell certain "Licensed Products", as defined in the agreement (Note 8).

Since signing the Distribution Agreement with MPLA, the Company has engaged in organizational and start up activities, including developing a new business plan, recruiting new directors, scientific advisors and key scientists, making arrangements for laboratory facilities and office space and raising additional capital.  The Company has generated no revenue from product sales.  The Company does not have any pharmaceutical products currently available for sale, and none are expected to be commercially available for some time, if at all.  The Licensed Products must first undergo pre-clinical and human clinical testing in the United States before they may be sold commercially.

The Company completed a share purchase agreement on 8 May 2006 with PharmaNet.  Under the terms of the agreement the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of MPLA (the "Purchase Agreement").  The Company, in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of MPLA, issued PharmaNet an aggregate total of 88,000,000 shares of its common shares of the Company on the closing of the transaction.  The issuance of 88,000,000 common shares of the Company constituted an acquisition of control of the Company by PharmaNet.  The transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company.

MPLA was incorporated on 14 July 2004 under the laws of Australia.  The accompanying financial statements are the historical financial statements of MPLA.

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
(Unaudited)
31 March 2008


On 15 March 2007, the Board of Directors approved a change in the Company's financial year end from 31 October to 30 June. The decision to change the fiscal year end was intended to assist the financial community in its analysis of the business and in comparing the Company's financial results to others in the industry, and to synchronize the Company's fiscal reporting with MPLA.

The Company's financial statements as at 31 March 2008 and for the nine month period then ended have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The Company has a loss of $78,340 for the nine month period ended 31 March 2008 (30 April 2007 - loss of $455,176) and has a working capital of $7,585 at 31 March 2008.

Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital.  Management believes that the Company's capital resources should be adequate to continue operating and maintaining its business strategy during the fiscal year ending 30 June 2008.  However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the near future, due to the Company's liquidity problems, management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

At 31 March 2008, the Company has suffered losses from development stage activities to date.  Although management is currently attempting to implement its business plan, and is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, there is no assurance these activities will be successful.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2.       Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements.

Basis of presentation

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") applicable for a developmental stage company for interim financial information and are expressed in U.S. dollars. 

Basis of consolidation

These interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MPLA since its incorporation on 14 July 2004 and MPLA USA since the reverse acquisition on 8 May 2006 (Note 1).  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

31 March 2008


Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Financial instruments

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.  The Company's operations are in Australia and virtually all of its assets and liabilities give rise to significant exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates.  The Company's financial risk is the risk that arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates.  Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

Foreign currency translation

The financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, " Foreign Currency Translation ".  Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date.  Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are charged or credited to Other Comprehensive Income. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Derivative financial instruments                      

The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciation is provided over their estimated economic lives at the following rates:

15% declining balance

Income taxes

Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, " Accounting for Income Taxes ", which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carry forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.

Comprehensive loss

SFAS No. 130, " Reporting Comprehensive Income ", establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements.  As at 31 March 2008, the Company has items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

Basic and diluted net loss per share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, " Earnings per Share ".  SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") on the face of the income statement.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period.  Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method.  In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants.  Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Stock-based compensation

Effective 1 February 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), " Share-Based Payment ", which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services.  Under the provisions of SFAS 123(R), stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employees' requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).  Before 1 February 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, " Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ", and complied with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, " Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ".  The Company adopted FAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method, which requires the Company to record compensation expense over the vesting period for all awards granted after the date of adoption, and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption.  Accordingly, financial statements for the periods prior to 1 February 2006 have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing share-based compensation.  Adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) does not change the way the Company accounts for share-based payments to non-employees, with guidance provided by SFAS 123 (as originally issued) and Emerging Issues Task Force 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 ".

Recent accounting pronouncements

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued SFAS No. 159, " The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities " ("SFAS 159").  SFAS 159 allows the company to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings.  SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 November 2007.  The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS 159 and the potential impact on the Company's financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, " Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) " (SFAS 158"). SFAS 158 requires an employer that sponsors one or more single-employer defined benefit plans to (a) recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a benefit plan in its statement of financial position, (b) recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost pursuant to SFAS 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions", or SFAS 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions", (c) measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employer's fiscal year-end, and (d) disclose in the notes to financial statements additional information about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition asset or obligation. SFAS 158 is effective for the Company's fiscal year ending 31 October 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, " Fair Value Measurement " ("SFAS 157"). The Statement provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The Statement also expands disclosures about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurement on earnings. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This Statement does not expand the use of fair value measurements in any new circumstances. Under this Statement, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the entity transacts. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company for fair value measurements and disclosures made by the Company in its fiscal year beginning on 1 November 2008. The Company is currently reviewing the impact of this statement.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, " Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 )" ("FIN 48") which is  effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 December  2006.  This interpretation was issued to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The adoption of FIN No. 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, " Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets ", which amends SFAS Statement No. 140.  SFAS No. 156 may be adopted as early as 1 January 2006, for calendar year-end entities, provided that no interim financial statements have been issued.  Those not choosing to early adopt are required to apply the provisions as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after 15 September 2006 (e.g., 1 January 2007, for calendar year-end entities).  The intention of the new statement is to simplify accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities, such as those common with mortgage securitization activities, as well as to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like accounting.  Specifically, the FASB said SFAS No. 156 permits a servicer using derivative financial instruments to report both the derivative financial instrument and related servicing asset or liability by using a consistent measurement attribute, or fair value.  The adoption of SFAS No. 156 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, " Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments ", which amends SFAS No. 133, " Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities " and SFAS No. 140, " Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities " .  SFAS No. 155 permits fair value measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or hybrid financial instruments containing embedded derivatives.   The adoption of SFAS No. 155 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations .

THE FOLLOWING ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION OF MOLECULAR USA FOR THE THIRD QUARTER PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH MOLECULAR USA'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, INCLUDING THE NOTES THERETO CONTAINED ELSEWHERE IN THE FORM 10-QSB.

Our consolidated financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Overview

We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on May 01, 2002. Up until the fall of 2005, Molecular USA was in the business of mineral exploration and development of a mineral property.

On October 13, 2005, Molecular USA entered into a distribution and supply agreement with Molecular Pharmacology Limited (" MPLA "). MPLA is incorporated under the laws of Australia and at the time was a wholly owned subsidiary company of Pharmanet Group Limited, an Australian company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.   Under the terms of the distribution and supply agreement, Molecular USA received the exclusive distribution rights to distribute, market, promote, detail, advertise and sell certain " Licensed Products ", as defined in the agreement, with metallo-polypeptide analgesic as an active ingredient, in the United States (excluding its territories and possessions). 

On May 9, 2006, Molecular USA announced that it has acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of MPLA.  The transaction was originally announced by Molecular USA in a press release dated November 29, 2005 and was subsequently approved by a majority of the stockholders of the Company at a stockholders meeting held on April 21, 2006. As a result of the transaction, PharmaNet Group Limited (" PharmaNet "), the former parent company of MPLA, now controls approximately 79% of Molecular USA's issued and outstanding share capital. The transaction between the parties closed in escrow with an effective closing date of May 8, 2006. The business of MPLA is now the business of Molecular USA.

Our Current Business

Molecular USA through its wholly owned subsidiary MPLA is in the business of developing and commercialising a new analgesic and anti-inflammatory molecule known as Tripeptofen. Tripeptofen is likely to appear in a new group of products suitable for the treatment of common every-day pain. As an analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug, Tripeptofen is unusual due to its rapid speed of action and its topical or rub-on application. 

The majority of over-the-counter anti-pain and anti-inflammatory products sold for the treatment of acute localised pain are based on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs. The majority of such products are slow acting and provide only mild pain relief.

The NSAID group has come under additional pressure and increasing medical alarm, as many drugs in this class have been found to set-back the recovery of certain conditions and treatments for which they were marketed. Moreover, NSAIDs are associated with severe gastro-intestinal side-effects. This has left a niche in an industry under-served by new products and ingredients.

MPLA's business strategy is to exploit the fast and locally acting, low side effects, and recovery-enhancing properties of its new drug group and to market this as a new ingredient, enabling pharmaceutical companies to develop and market effective and safer products suited to a broad range of common everyday pain.

18


Licensed Products

Molecular USA has exclusive distribution rights to distribute, market, promote, detail, advertise and sell certain "Licensed Products", with metallo-polypeptide analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity as an active ingredient, in the United States (excluding its territories and possessions) from its wholly owned subsidiary company MPLA.

The Licensed Products include all products in all dosage forms, formulations, line extensions and package configurations using or otherwise incorporating any aspect or production method of metallo-polypeptide analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity as an active ingredient marketed by MPLA or its affiliates under the tradename Tripeptafen or any other trade names or trade marks used by MPLA relating to the product and any improvements to such formulations or dosages as may hereafter be distributed by MPLA or its affiliates in the territory during the term of the distribution and supply agreement between Molecular and MPLA for the topical application for human use only, and specifically excludes:

  • dermatological or cosmetic use, or tissue repair or tissue regeneration effect;

  • any use or application of the Licensed Product in non-human groups or species; and

  • Thermalife cream, presently owned by Pharmanet, the holding company of MPLA.

All Licensed Products must first obtain regulatory clearance in the United States before they may be marketed and sold by Molecular USA in that territory. Clinical programs are currently planned by MPLA for Europe, USA and Australia. The clinical trial program is expected to be expanded with follow-up trials. Regulatory approval, commencement of the Master Drug File (MDF) and market approval are the focus of an ongoing program expected to continue over the next 18 to 24 months.

MPLA has an exclusive license from Cambridge Scientific Pty ltd of Australia. This license is restricted to a "field of use" defined in the license documentation. Cambridge Scientific may grant other licenses to third parties outside the "field of use" the subject of the licenses granted to MPLA. 

Patents & Trademarks

Molecular USA and its subsidiary MPLA, regard their intellectual property rights, such as copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, practices and tools, as important to the success of their company. To protect their intellectual property rights, Molecular USA relies on a combination of patent, trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection, confidentiality agreements and other contractual arrangements with their employees, affiliates, clients, strategic partners, acquisition targets and others. Effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which the combined company intends to offer its products. The steps taken by Molecular USA and MPLA to protect their intellectual property rights may not be adequate. Third parties may infringe or misappropriate the combined company's intellectual property rights or the combined company may not be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce its rights. In addition, other parties may assert infringement claims against the combined company. Such claims, regardless of merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. Further, an increasing number of patents are being issued to third parties regarding these processes. Future patents may limit the combined company's ability to use processes covered by such patents or expose the combined company to claims of patent infringement or otherwise require the combined company to seek to obtain related licenses. Such licenses may not be available on acceptable terms. The failure to obtain such licenses on acceptable terms could have a negative effect on the combined company's business.

To protect their intellectual property rights, MPLA relies on a combination of license and patent applications held by Cambridge Scientific Pty Ltd  include  "Analgesic and Anti-Inflammatory Composition" comprising USA patent application in completion plus PCT Provisional Specification having the same name designated as Serial No. 11/059580 , Cytokine Mediation Composition PCT/AU2007/000554,   Tissue Disruption Treatment And Composition For Use Thereof United States Of America Patent Application No. 11/218382 and International Patent Application No. PCT/AU2006/001288 and COX 2 Inhibitor Application Number WO/2006902207.

19


Marketing

Molecular USA plans to market its Licensed Products, when approved, through existing pharmaceutical distributors and by collaborative dealings with major companies active in the United States and Europe.

In addition, Molecular USA plans to explore opportunities for direct sales, out-licensing and the integration of the company's proprietary anti-inflammatory and analgesic components in products already distributed through various international markets. 

Molecular USA expects that these activities may even help fund the development costs of the Licensed Products in the United States.

Manufacturing & Supply

Molecular USA and MPLA have no manufacturing facilities. MPLA is required to supply Molecular USA with all Licensed Products under the distribution and supply agreement entered into by the parties in October 2005. It is likely MPLA will enter into arrangements with various GMP certified formulation and manufacturers of the Licensed Products for clinical trial and sales purposes. These formulations and the manufacturing facilities must comply with regulations and current good laboratory practices or cGLPs, and current good manufacturing practices or cGMPs, enforced by the FDA. Molecular USA plans to continue MPLA's practice to outsource formulation and manufacturing for its clinical trials and potential commercialization after the acquisition of MPLA by Molecular USA.

Molecular USA has not entered into any supply agreements.

Competition

Molecular USA and MPLA compete in the segment of the pharmaceutical market that treats pain and inflammation, which is highly competitive. We face significant competition from most pharmaceutical companies as well as biotechnology companies that are also researching and selling products designed to treat pain and inflammation. Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial, manufacturing, marketing and product development resources than we do. Large pharmaceutical companies in particular have extensive experience in clinical testing and in obtaining regulatory approvals for drugs. These companies also have significantly greater research capabilities than we do. In addition, many universities and private and public research institutes are active in neurological research, some in direct competition with us. These companies, as well as academic institutions, governmental agencies and other public and private organizations conducting research, also compete with Molecular USA and MPLA in recruiting and retaining highly qualified scientific personnel and consultants and may establish collaborative arrangements with competitors of Molecular USA.

Molecular USA's competition will be determined in part by the potential indications for which the MPLA's products are developed and ultimately approved by regulatory authorities.

Molecular USA knows of other companies and institutions dedicated to the development of anti-pain and anti-inflammatory pharmaceuticals similar to those being developed by MPLA and licensed to Molecular USA. Many of Molecular USA's competitors, existing or potential, have substantially greater financial and technical resources and therefore may be in a better position to develop, manufacture and market pharmaceutical products. Many of these competitors are also more experienced with regard to preclinical testing, human clinical trials and obtaining regulatory approvals. The current or future existence of competitive products may also adversely affect the marketability of Molecular USA's products.

Governmental Regulation

FDA Regulation .  Pharmaceutical products are subject to extensive pre- and post-marketing regulation by the Food and Drug  Administration ("FDA"), including regulations that govern the testing, manufacturing, safety, efficacy, labeling, storage, record-keeping, advertising and promotion of the products under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the Public Health Services Act, and by comparable agencies in most foreign countries. The process required by the FDA before a new drug may be marketed in the U.S. generally involves the following: completion of pre-clinical laboratory and animal testing; submission of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before clinical trials may begin; performance of adequate and well controlled human clinical trials to establish the safety and efficacy of the proposed drug's intended use; and approval by the FDA of a New Drug Application, or NDA.

The activities required before a pharmaceutical agent may be marketed in the United States begin with pre-clinical testing.  Pre-clinical tests include laboratory evaluation of potential products and animal studies to assess the potential safety and efficacy of the product and its formulations. The results of these studies and other information must be submitted to the FDA as part of an IND application, which must be reviewed and approved by the FDA before proposed clinical testing can begin. Clinical trials involve the administration of the investigational new drug to healthy volunteers or to patients under the supervision of a qualified principal investigator. Clinical trials are conducted in accordance with Good Clinical Practices under protocols that detail the objectives of the study, the parameters to be used to monitor safety and the efficacy criteria to be evaluated. Each protocol must be submitted to the FDA as part of the IND application. Further, each clinical study must be conducted under the auspices of an independent institutional review board. The institutional review board will consider, among other things, ethical factors and the safety of human subjects.

Typically, human clinical trials are conducted in three phases that may overlap. In Phase 1, clinical trials are conducted with a small number of subjects to determine the early safety profile and pharmacology of the new therapy. In Phase 2, clinical trials are conducted with groups of patients afflicted with a specific disease in order to determine preliminary efficacy, optimal dosages and expanded evidence of safety. In Phase 3, large scale, multicenter, comparative clinical trials are conducted with patients afflicted with a target disease in order to provide enough data for the statistical proof of efficacy and safety required by the FDA and others.

The results of the pre-clinical and clinical testing, together with chemistry and manufacturing information, are submitted to the FDA in the form of an NDA for a pharmaceutical product in order to obtain approval to commence commercial sales. In responding to an NDA, the FDA may grant marketing approvals, request additional information or further research, or deny the application if it determines that the application does not satisfy its regulatory approval criteria. Patient-specific therapies may be subject to additional risk with respect to the regulatory review process. FDA approval for a pharmaceutical product may not be granted on a timely basis, if at all, or if granted may not cover all the clinical indications for which approval is sought or may contain significant limitations in the form of warnings, precautions or contraindications with respect to conditions of use.

Satisfaction of FDA premarket approval requirements for new drugs typically takes several years, and the actual time required may vary substantially based upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product or targeted disease. Government regulation may delay or prevent marketing of potential products for a considerable period of time and impose costly procedures upon our activities. Success in early stage clinical trials or with prior versions of products does not assure success in later stage clinical trials. Data obtained from clinical activities are not always conclusive and may be susceptible to varying interpretations that could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval.

Once approved, the FDA may withdraw the product approval if compliance with pre- and post-marketing regulatory standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reaches the marketplace. In addition, the FDA may require post-marketing studies, referred to as Phase 4 studies, to monitor the effect of an approved product, and may limit further marketing of the product based on the results of these post-market studies. The FDA has broad post-market regulatory and enforcement powers, including the ability to levy fines and civil penalties, suspend or delay issuance of approvals, seize or recall products, or withdraw approvals.

21


Facilities used to manufacture drugs are subject to periodic inspection by the FDA, Drug Enforcement Agency and other authorities where applicable, and must comply with the FDA's Current Good Manufacturing regulations. Failure to comply with the statutory and regulatory requirements subjects the manufacturer to possible legal or regulatory action, such as suspension of manufacturing, seizure of product or voluntary recall of a product. Adverse experiences with the product must be reported to the FDA and could result in the imposition of market restriction through labeling changes or in product removal. Product approvals may be withdrawn if compliance with regulatory requirements is not maintained or if problems concerning safety or efficacy of the product occur following approval.

With respect to post-market product advertising and promotion, the FDA imposes a number of complex regulations on entities that advertise and promote pharmaceuticals, which include, among other things, standards and regulations relating to direct-to-consumer advertising, off-label promotion, industry sponsored scientific and educational activities, and promotional activities involving the Internet. The FDA has very broad enforcement authority under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, and failure to abide by these regulations can result in penalties including the issuance of a warning letter directing the entity to correct deviations from FDA standards, a requirement that future advertising and promotional materials be pre-cleared by the FDA, and state and federal civil and criminal investigations and prosecutions.

Research facilities are subject to various laws and regulations regarding laboratory practices, the experimental use of animals, and the use and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances in connection with the research in question.  In each of these areas, as above, the government has broad regulatory and enforcement powers, including the ability to levy fines and civil penalties, suspend or delay issuance of approvals, seize or recall products, and withdraw approvals, any one or more of which could have a material adverse effect upon us.

Other Government Regulations .   In addition to laws and regulations enforced by the FDA, research of Molecular USA's products in the United States are subject to regulation under National Institutes of Health guidelines, as well as under the Controlled Substances Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Environmental Protection Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and other present and potential future federal, state or local laws and regulations, as research and development of its products involves the controlled use of hazardous materials, chemicals, viruses and various radioactive compounds.

In addition to regulations in the United States, Molecular USA's products are subject to a variety of foreign regulations governing clinical trials and commercial sales and distribution of its Licensed Products. Whether or not Molecular USA obtains FDA approval for a product, Molecular USA or its subsidiaries must obtain approval of a product by the comparable regulatory authorities of foreign countries before it can commence clinical trials or marketing of the product in those countries. The approval process varies from country to country, and the time may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary greatly from country to country.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 . On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the SOA. SOA imposes a wide variety of new requirements on both U.S. and non-U.S. companies, that file or are required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Many of these new requirements will affect Molecular USA and its board of directors. For instance, under SOA Molecular USA is required to:

  • form an audit committees in compliance with SOA;

  • have Molecular USA's chief executive office and chief financial officer are required to certify its financial statements;

  • ensure Molecular USA's directors and senior officers are required to forfeit all bonuses or other incentive-based compensation and profits received from the sale of Molecular USA's securities in the twelve month period following initial publication of any of Molecular USA's financial statements that later require restatement;

  • disclose any off-balance sheet transactions as required by SOA;

22


  • prohibit all personal loans to directors and officers;

  • insure directors, officers and 10% holders file their Forms 4's within two days of a transaction;

  • adopt a code of ethics and file a Form 8-K when ever there is a change or waiver of this code; and

  • insure Molecular USA's auditor is independent as defined by SOA.

SOA has required us to review our current procedures and policies to determine whether they comply with the SOA and the new regulations promulgated thereunder. We will continue to monitor our compliance with all future regulations that are adopted under the SOA and will take whatever actions are necessary to ensure that we are in compliance.

Environmental Compliance

The nature of Molecular USA's and MPLA's business does not require special environmental or local government approval.  Molecular USA and MPLA are compliant with all environmental laws. The cost of such compliance is minimal for the company.

Employees

Molecular USA currently has no employees and instead relies on outside contractors.

Immediate Business Plans

The Company, through its subsidiary MPLA, plans to continue to pursue the various levels of the international regulatory approval processes. Applications and product opportunities for Tripeptofen are believed to be broad and cover a range of commercial fields, each with distinct pre-market requirements. The international drug development team, global resources and local know-how will allow MPLA to seek the most time and cost effective regulatory pathways for each product and market sector.

The scientific focus of MPLA will initially be the completion of the current isolation and identifications programs, being run by MPLA's South East Asian and Australian teams. This work will provide MPLA with the broadest product horizon, from which it can then select the most commercially marketable products.

Dr Chin Joo Goh manages the South East Asian activities while Dr Maud Eijkenboom manages the Australian activities.

On commercial development, MPLA will focus on consolidating the regulatory pathway work in order to prioritise the path to market. Jeff Edwards will work to set-out the strategies designed to maximize the multi-jurisdictional capabilities of MPLA's development teams.

Results of Operation

For the Quarter ended March 31, 2008.

Rev enues

 

REVENUE - Molecular USA has not generated any revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, or since inception.

COMMON STOCK - Molecular has not issued any shares during the most recent quarter. As of the date May 8, 2008, Molecular USA has 111,553,740 common shares issued and outstanding.

Expenses

SUMMARY - Total expenses were $29,320 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008.  Expenses had decreased during this past quarter as compared to the three month period ended April 30, 2007 - $120,940. A total

23


of $1,549,736 in expenses has been incurred by Molecular USA since inception on July 14, 2004 through to March 31, 2008.  The decrease in costs over the past three quarters has occurred as the result of Molecular USA's wholly owned subsidiary reducing its consulting and professional fees.  The costs can be subdivided into the following categories.

  1. Office Expenses : $6,675  in office expenses (for rent and administrative costs) were incurred for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $9,596 for the three month period ended April 30 , 2007 ; while a total of $115,793 was incurred in the period from inception on July 14, 2004 to March 31, 200 8. All contributed expenses are reported as contributed costs with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital.
  2. Consulting and Analysis Costs : Molecular USA relies on consultants and other third parties to conduct the majority of its research.  For the three month period ended March 31, 2008, $11,798 in consulting and analysis expenses were incurred as compared to $73,703 during the three month period ended April 30, 2007  and $66,300 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2008 (nine month period ended April 30, 2007 - $300,910).  We have incurred a total of $1,071,608 in consulting and analysis fees since our inception on July 14, 2004 to March 31, 2008 .
  3. Advertising and Promotion Fees : Molecular USA has spent a nominal amount in this area.  During the three month period ended March 31, 2008 we spent $0 on advertising and public relations and $0 for the three month period ended April 30, 2007.  A total of $23,739 has been incurred in this area during the period from inception on July 14, 2004 to March 31, 2008 .
  4. Professional Fees : Molecular USA incurred $8,446 in professional fees for the three month period ended on March 31, 2008 as compared to $11,762 for the three month period ended April 30, 2007. From inception on July 14, 2004 to March 31, 2008 , we have incurred a total of $152,982 in professional fees mainly spent on legal and accounting matters.
  5. Travel Costs : Molecular USA incurred $2,036 in travel costs for the fiscal three month period ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $13,134 for the three month period ended April 30 , 2007 and $100,444 has been incurred in the period from inception on July 14, 2004 to March 31, 2008 .  This decrease reflects limited travel expense this quarter to our North American legal counsel in visiting our research facilities in Australia.
  6. Salaries and Benefits Costs : Molecular USA and its subsidiary relies primarily on outside consultants and not salaried employees.  As a result, Molecular USA incurred $0 in salaries and benefits for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 and $7,570 in salaries and benefits during the three month period ended April 30 , 2007 . For the period from inception on July 14, 2004 to March 31, 2008 , Molecular USA has spent a total of $44,464 on salaries and benefits.
Molecular USA continues to carefully control its expenses and overall costs as it moves forward with the development of its new business plan. Molecular USA does not have any employees and engages personnel through outside consulting contracts or agreements or other such arrangements

Income Tax Provision :
We have losses carried forward for income tax purpose to March 31, 2008.  There are no current or deferred tax expenses for the period ended March 31, 2008 due to our loss position.  We have fully reserved for any benefits of these losses.  The deferred tax consequences of temporary differences in reporting items for financial statement and income tax purposes are recognized as appropriate.
 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the nine month period ended March 31, 2008, Molecular USA satisfied its working capital needs by borrowing cash from its parent company Pharmanet.  As of March 31, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents on hand in the amount of $35,146 (as at April 30, 2007 - $27,707) and current payable and accrued liabilities of $34,445 ($172,084 - April 30, 2007).  As of March 31, 2008, Molecular USA currently owes its parent company Pharmanet, $1,443,364 and an additional $65,449 to other related parties.   Given the proposed business activities of Molecular USA and its subsidiary, management does not expect that the current level of cash on hand will be sufficient to fund its operation for the next twelve month period.  

24


To achieve our goals and objectives for the next 12 months, we plan to raise additional capital through private placements of our equity securities, proceeds received from the exercise of outstanding options, future financing from our majority shareholder Pharmanet.

We plan to use any additional funds that we might be successful in raising for development, as well as for strategic acquisition of existing businesses that complement our market niche, and general working capital purposes.

If we are unsuccessful in obtaining new capital, our ability to seek and consummate strategic acquisitions to build our company internationally, and to expand of our business development and marketing programs could be adversely affected.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

As of March 31, 2008, Molecular USA did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Research and Development

Since the acquisition of MPLA, Molecular USA has maintained  MPLA's research and development program to:

  • Refine and prove-up its proprietary active ingredients and to commence the processes that will lead to the issue of a Master Drug File registration of its products;
  • Define the mode of action and potential of Tripeptofen in both in vitro, animal and human studies;
  • Gain Australian regulatory and marketing approval;
  • Gain European regulatory approval; and 
  • Commence application for American regulatory approval.

MPLA is in the business of developing and commercializing a new analgesic and anti-inflammatory molecule known as Tripeptofen. Tripeptofen is likely to appear in a new group of products suitable for the treatment of common every-day pain. As an analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug, Tripeptofen is unusual due to its rapid speed of action and its topical or rub-on application. 

During the period  Molecular USA, continued to support MPLA and Cambridge Scientific Pty Ltd in the process of expanding the intellectual property portfolio.  Further details on the scope of these activities is presented in the section .

Patents & Trademarks

The first conditions targeted by MPLA will be the musculoskeletal injuries.  The use of a B-SIM in these markets represents a new approach to one of the world's largest over the counter drug markets and includes indications such as joint inflammation, musculoskeletal pain, overuse and strain injuries, burns and even surgical and cosmetic procedures.  MPLA's proprietary, industrially scalable peptide-ligand bond exchange (PLBE) B-SIM manufacturing process involves the disassociation of proteins, rather than the far more costly process of assembling B-SIMs one sequence at a time. The patent was lodged in the name of Cambridge Scientific Pty Ltd; however, Molecular USA holds the worldwide exclusive license to manufacture, commercialize, market and distribute topical anti-inflammatory and analgesic products based on the proprietary MPL-TL compound.

Molecular USA is still working on the projections regarding the necessary expenditure and time frame involved in pursuing this research and development program.  Any such program will also be subject to Molecular USA raising the necessary funds to advance such a program.

Capital Expenditure Commitments

Capital expenditures for the nine month period ended March 31, 2008, amounted to $17. Molecular USA does not anticipate any significant purchase or sale of equipment over the next 12 months.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued SFAS No. 159, " The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities " ("SFAS 159").  SFAS 159 allows the company to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings.  SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 November 2007.  The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS 159 and the potential impact on the Company's financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, " Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) " ("SFAS 158"). SFAS 158 requires an employer that sponsors one or more single-employer defined benefit plans to (a) recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a benefit plan in its statement of financial position, (b) recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost pursuant to SFAS No. 87, " Employers' Accounting for Pensions ", or SFAS No. 106, " Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions ", (c) measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employer's fiscal year-end, and (d) disclose in the notes to financial statements additional information about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition asset or obligation. SFAS No. 158 is effective for the Company's fiscal year ending 31 October 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, " Fair Value Measurement " ("SFAS 157"). The statement provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The Statement also expands disclosures about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurement on earnings. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This Statement does not expand the use of fair value measurements in any new circumstances. Under this Statement, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the entity transacts. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company for fair value measurements and disclosures made by the Company in its fiscal year beginning on 1 November 2008. The Company is currently reviewing the impact of this statement.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, " Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 )" ("FIN 48") which is  effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 December  2006.  This interpretation was issued to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The adoption of FIN No. 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 156, " Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets ", which amends SFAS Statement No. 140.  SFAS No. 156 may be adopted as early as 1 January 2006, for calendar year-end entities, provided that no interim financial statements have been issued.  Those not choosing to early adopt are required to apply the provisions as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after 15 September 2006 (e.g., 1 January 2007, for calendar year-end entities).  The intention of the new statement is to simplify accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities, such as those common with mortgage securitization activities, as well as to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like accounting.  Specifically, the FASB said SFAS No. 156 permits a servicer using derivative financial instruments to report both the derivative financial instrument and related servicing asset or liability by using a consistent measurement attribute, or fair value.  The adoption of SFAS No. 156 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

26


In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, " Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments ", which amends SFAS No. 133, " Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities " and SFAS No. 140, " Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities " .   SFAS No. 155 permits fair value measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or hybrid financial instruments containing embedded derivatives.  The adoption of SFAS No. 155 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our quarterly financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States.  Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies.  We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.

Stock-based compensation

On February 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), " Share-Based Payment ", which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services.  Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employees' requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).  Before February 1, 2006, we accounted for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, " Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ", and complied with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, " Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ".  We adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method, which requires us to record compensation expense over the vesting period for all awards granted after the date of adoption, and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption.  Accordingly, financial statements for the periods prior to February 1, 2006 have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing share-based compensation.  Adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) does not change the way we account for share-based payments to non-employees, with guidance provided by SFAS No. 123 (as originally issued) and Emerging Issues Task Force 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 ".

Item 3.  Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on the management's evaluation (with the participation our President and Chief Financial Officer), our President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of March 31, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange of 1934 (the " Exchange Act ") are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, . and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management's annual report on internal control over financial reporting

27


Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is intended to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting should include those policies and procedures that:

  • pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

  • provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with applicable GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors; and

  • provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including Jeff Edwards, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Simon Watson, our Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and preparation of our quarterly financial statements as of March 31, 2008 and believe they are effective.

Based upon their evaluation of our controls, Jeff Edwards, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Simon Watson, our Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls that occurred during the quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls.

Changes in Internal Controls

Based on the evaluation as of March 31, 2008, Jeff Edwards, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Simon Watson, our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that there were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in any other areas that could significantly affect our internal controls subsequent to the date of his most recent evaluation, including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
