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.

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.

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:

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.

Income Taxes
The Company has losses carried forward for income tax purposes at 31
March 2008. There are no current or
deferred tax expenses for the period ended 31 March 2008 due to the
Company's loss position. The Company has 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. Realization of the future tax benefits
related to the deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the
Company's ability to generate taxable income within the net operating loss carryforward period. Management has
considered these factors in reaching its conclusion as to the valuation
allowance for financial reporting purposes.

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
,

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.
20
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
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.

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

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.
-
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.
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
.
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
.
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.
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.
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.

" ("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

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.
(b) Internal control over financial reporting
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.

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.

report.
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
