PART I
Formation and year of organization
We were incorporated on May 8, 2006, in the State of Nevada
under the name Smartec Holdings, Inc. Our authorized capital at formation
consisted of 75,000,000 shares of our common stock (the Common Shares) with a
par value of $0.001 per common share.
On November 26, 2007, we effected a forward stock split on a
twenty-to-one basis to increase our authorized capital from 75,000,000 common
shares with a par value of $0.001 per common share to 1,500,000,000 common
shares with a par value of $0.001 per common share.
On January 22, 2008, we changed our name from Smartec
Holdings, Inc. to MabCure Inc. following the merger with our wholly owned
subsidiary, MabCure, Inc.
On October 30, 2008, we established, MabCure, N.V., a wholly
owned subsidiary in Belgium. The Belgian subsidiary was established in order to
accelerate the development and commercialization of MabCures proprietary
products for the early detection of cancer with specific antibodies and for the
creation of highly specific therapeutics (antibodies and novel drugs) against
cancer. MabCure, N.V. will be eligible to apply for research grants from the
Flemish Government.
Our principal executive offices are located in Belgium at the
following address: De Schiervellaan 3/B1, 3500 Hasselt, Belgium. Our telephone
number is +32 (48) 7425303.
Our common shares are traded on the over-the-counter market and
quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board (the
OTCBB
) under the
symbol MBCI. On March 1, 2010, the closing price for our common shares as
reported on the OTCBB was $0.62.
Bankruptcy, Receivership or Similar
Proceeding
We have never declared bankruptcy, have never been in
receivership, and have never been involved in any legal actions or
proceedings.
Purchase of Assets
On January 10, 2008, we entered into an asset purchase
agreement with Indigoleaf Associates Ltd. (Indigoleaf), and Dr. Amnon Gonenne,
pursuant to which we agreed to purchase all of Indigoleafs interest and rights
to a proprietary technology for the rapid and efficient generation of monoclonal
antibodies against desired antigens such as cancer markers, including, but not
limited to, the know-how, secrets, inventions, practices, methods, knowledge and
data owned by Indigoleaf. We purchased this proprietary technology pursuant to
an intellectual property transfer agreement and consummated the other
transactions contemplated by the asset purchase agreement on July 7, 2008.
Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, as amended on April 2, 2009, we agreed
to issue 25,638,400 (post forward stock split) shares of our common stock to
Indigoleaf in consideration for the purchase of Indigoleafs proprietary
technology, and we agreed to issue 6,409,600 (post forward stock split) shares
of our common stock to Dr. Gonenne, in consideration for his being one of the
founders of our cancer therapy and detection business. The shares issued to Dr.
Gonenne were described in error in the asset purchase agreement as having been
issued to Dr. Gonenne in consideration for future services that Dr. Gonenne
agreed to provide to us, and this error has been corrected in the April 2, 2009,
amendment.
On June 27, 2008, pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, we
closed a private placement consisting of 1,300,000 units of our securities at a
price of $1.00 per unit, for aggregate proceeds of $1,300,000. Each unit
consists of: (i) one common share; (ii) one non-transferable share purchase
warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock for a period of 12 months commencing from
the closing of the asset purchase agreement, at an exercise price of $1.25 per
common share; and (iii) one non-transferable share purchase warrant entitling
the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock for a period of 24
months commencing from the closing of the asset purchase agreement, at an
exercise price of $1.25 per common share.
3
On April 2, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the January
10, 2008 asset purchase agreement, pursuant to which the parties corrected the
asset purchase agreement to reflect the original intention of the parties that
the 6,409,600 shares of our common stock that had been issued to Dr. Gonenne had
been issued to Dr. Gonenne as founders shares in consideration for his being one
of the founders of our cancer therapy and detection business. The amendment to
the asset purchase agreement provided that up to 75 percent of the shares issued
to Dr. Gonenne,
i.e
., up to 4,807,200 shares of our common stock, are
subject to a lapsing repurchase right that may be exercised by us in the event
Dr. Gonennes employment agreement with us is terminated within 18 months of
July 7, 2008. The 4,807,200 shares of our common stock subject to the lapsing
repurchase right shall be released from such right in three 6-month intervals,
such that 1/3 of the shares (
i.e.
1,602,400 shares) shall be released
from the lapsing repurchase right at the end of each 6-month interval, provided
that at each respective 6-month interval Dr. Gonenne continues to be retained by
us pursuant to his employment agreement. All of the 4,807,200 shares of common
stock shall be released from the lapsing repurchase right and no longer subject
thereto upon the expiration of a continuous period of employment of 18 months
from July 7, 2008.
Recent Corporate Developments
2009 marked the beginning of our research and development
activities. Using the proprietary technology that we purchased in 2008, we
concentrated on expanding our library of highly specific monoclonal antibodies
(MAbs) against a number of different cancers. In addition, we optimized our
production capability to be able to prepare sufficient quantities of MAbs for
the planned clinical trials. Our main focus during the year was ovarian and
prostate cancer as well as melanoma. Beyond our lab activities, we created new
relationships and collaborations with European and Asian medical centers to lead
our clinical trials.
On September 2, 2009, we entered into a loan agreement to
obtain a bridge loan of $500,000 from a third-party lender for ordinary working
capital needs. The loan was due to mature on September 2, 2010. On March 5,
2010, we entered into a conversion agreement with the lender, pursuant to which
the loan and all accrued interest was converted into equity securities. In full
repayment of the loan and all accrued interest, we issued to the lender
1,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of: (i) one common share; (ii) one
non-transferable share purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase
one share of common stock until February 16, 2012, at a price per share of
US$0.60; and (iii) one non-transferable common stock purchase warrant entitling
the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock until February 16,
2012, at a price per share of US$0.70.
On March 5, 2010, we closed an offshore private placement
consisting of 1,000,000 units of our securities at a price of $0.50 per unit,
for aggregate proceeds of $500,000. Each unit consists of: (i) one common share;
(ii) one non-transferable share purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to
purchase one share of common stock for a period of 24 months commencing from the
closing of the private placement agreement, at an exercise price of $0.60 per
common share; and (iii) one non-transferable share purchase warrant entitling
the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock for a period of 24
months commencing from the closing of the private placement agreement, at an
exercise price of $0.70 per common share.
In December 2009, we signed a research agreement with
Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, in Bangkok, Thailand. Following the
approval of the proposed clinical protocol by the hospitals Ethics Committee,
clinical trials to diagnose ovarian cancer with our MAbs were officially
launched in January 2010. Mahidol University is one of the oldest and most
prestigious universities in Thailand, and is internationally known and
recognized for the high caliber of research and teaching by its faculty.
In November 2009, we signed a research agreement with AZ Sint
Lucas Hospital in Brugge, Belgium for the performance of preclinical research
intended to broaden the utility of our MAbs where there is a need to diagnose
cancer in tissue specimens, such as in moles removed from
patients who are at high risk for developing melanoma, or in polyps resected
from patients who undergo colonoscopies.
4
In October 2009, we announced a development milestone, the
creation of MAbs to diagnose colorectal cancer. After further characterization
of these MAbs, we plan to explore their utility both for the early diagnosis of
colorectal cancer (in blood or feces specimens), and as imaging agents for
detecting micrometastatic disease during surgery and cancerous polyps during
colonoscopies.
During the coming year, we plan to expand our clinical program
to include additional centers in Europe and to launch a clinical study of
prostate cancer diagnosis with our MAbs.
Business of Issuer
Principal Products and Markets
We are a development stage company originally in the business
of developing a detergent for removing pesticides from fruits and vegetables.
Because we were unsuccessful in implementing our business plan, we considered
various alternatives to ensure viability and solvency. We are currently in the
business of developing and commercializing our proprietary antibody technology
for the early detection of cancer and for the creation of highly specific
therapeutics (antibodies and novel drugs) against cancer.
We entered the business of early detection of cancer through
an asset purchase agreement dated January 10, 2008, with Indigoleaf and Dr.
Amnon Gonenne, pursuant to which we agreed to purchase all of Indigoleafs
interest and rights to a proprietary technology for the rapid and efficient
generation of monoclonal antibodies against desired antigens such as cancer
markers, including, but not limited to, the know-how, secrets, inventions,
practices, methods, knowledge and data owned by Indigoleaf. We purchased this
proprietary technology pursuant to an intellectual property transfer agreement
and consummated the other transactions contemplated by the asset purchase
agreement on July 7, 2008.
Distribution Methods of the Products
At present, we are conducting research and development using
our proprietary antibody technology for the early detection of cancer and for
the creation of highly specific therapeutics (antibodies and novel drugs)
against cancer. As such, our products are currently not ready for
distribution.
Status of any Publicly Announced New Product
At present, we have not publicly announced any new products but
we intend to continue with the research and development of our technology.
Competitive Business Conditions and our Competitive
Position in the Industry and Methods of Competition
We are not aware of any FDA-approved blood tests which compete
with our three leading Monoclonal Antibody (MAb") products for the diagnosis of
melanoma and ovarian and prostate cancers, or with our planned MAbs for
colorectal and breast cancers.
There may be companies attempting to develop genomics
(DNA-based) or proteomics (protein-pattern based) diagnostic tests for cancer.
We believe that these statistical-pattern-based tests are inherently susceptible
to errors, are time consuming, need technical expertise for both performance and
analyses, and are relatively expensive. Hence, our anti-ovarian cancer test may
have a clear advantage since it is expected to be highly specific, fast, and
simple, and should be competitive in price.
5
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and the Names of Our Principal Suppliers
We are currently in the research and development stage, and thus have no suppliers of raw materials. As we conduct our research and development, we use blood samples that contain various types of cancers at various stages of the cancers
evolvement. We obtain these blood samples from hospitals and research institutions throughout Europe and the Far East. We rely on these blood samples in order to effectively conduct our research. Should we be unable to obtain blood samples that
contain the specific cancer we are researching, it may cause a delay in our research.
Dependence on one or a few Major Customers
At present, we are conducting research and development and, as such, have no customers. We will likely plan and initiate sales strategies once our product is fully developed.
Intellectual Property
At present, we do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents, registered trademarks, licenses, franchises, or concessions.
During 2008, we acquired a proprietary platform technology for the rapid and efficient generation of monoclonal antibodies against desired antigens such as cancer markers. This technology is based on an improvement of the non-proprietary, classic
hybridoma technology for the production of antibodies in animals. Using our proprietary technology, we are able to generate highly specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). While the technology is novel and patentable, we have as of yet not filed any
patents relating to the technology. In addition, enforcing patent protection may be difficult since the products (MAbs) created by the technology have no "finger prints" that could link them to our technology. The protocols of our technology are
known to our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Scientific Officer. In addition, the data is encrypted and kept on CDs which have been placed in a safe deposit box at a bank.
We plan to file for patents in the near future for cancer-specific antibodies and newly discovered antigens (i.e. novel cancer markers).
Refer to Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements entitled, Purchase of Intellectual Property and Stock Issuance to Founder for further discussion on the purchase of our proprietary technology.
Governmental Approval
We are subject to the laws and regulations of those jurisdictions in which we plan to license our technology. In the United States, we will be required to obtain regulatory approval for our products from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and
in Europe we will be required to obtain the Conformité Européene (CE mark).
Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Business
Our research and development activities and the manufacturing and marketing of our proposed MAb products are subject to the laws and regulations of governmental authorities in the United States and any other countries in which our products are
ultimately marketed. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, among other activities, regulates new product approvals to establish the safety and efficacy of the types of products and technologies our Company is currently
developing. Governments in other countries have similar requirements for testing and marketing.
Regulation by governmental authorities in the United States and foreign countries is a significant factor in the development, manufacture, and marketing of our proposed MAb products and in our ongoing research and development activities.
6
The products and technologies that we are currently researching
and developing will require regulatory approval by governmental agencies prior
to commercialization. Various federal statutes and regulations also govern or
influence the testing, manufacturing, safety, labeling, storage, record keeping,
and marketing of related products. The process of obtaining these approvals and
the subsequent compliance with applicable statutes and regulations require the
expenditure of substantial time and financial resources. Any failure by us or
our collaborators, licensors, or licensees to obtain, or any delay in obtaining
regulatory approval, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Research and Development Expenditures
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we
have incurred $402,657 and $3,806, respectively, in research and development
expenditures, which included salaries and wages for our scientists.
Employees
As of December 31, 2009, we had four employees on a full-time
basis; MabCure is managed by Dr. Amnon Gonenne, our President and Chief
Executive Officer; Dr. Elisha Orr, our Chief Scientific Officer; and Mr. Ron
Kalfus, our Chief Financial Officer.
Risk Factors related to our Business
We have no operating history and have maintained losses
since inception, which we expect to continue into the future.
We were incorporated on May 8, 2006, and have limited
operations. We have not realized any revenues to date. Our products are under
development and will not be ready for commercial sale until we have completed
development, conducted clinical trials, and received all regulatory approvals.
We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or
failure can be made. Our net loss from inception to December 31, 2009 is
$2,012,711. Based upon our proposed plans, we expect to incur operating losses
in future periods. This will happen because there are substantial costs and
expenses associated with the development and commercialization of our proposed
products. We may fail to generate revenues in the future. Failure to generate
revenues will cause us to either change our line of business or to go out of
business because we will not have the money to pay our ongoing expenses.
Our independent auditors report states that there is a
substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going
concern.
Our independent registered auditors, Davis Accounting Group
P.C., state in their audit report, dated March 15, 2010, included with this
Annual Report, that since we are a development stage company, have no
established source of revenue, and are dependent on our ability to raise capital
from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations, there is a substantial
doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern
.
We will, in all likelihood, continue to incur expenses without
generating significant revenues into the foreseeable future, at least until we
complete development of our products and commence their commercialization. Our
only source of funds to date has been the sale of our common stock. Because we
cannot ensure that we will be able to generate interest in our products or that
we will be able to generate any significant revenues or income, the
identification of new sources of equity financing will be difficult. If we are
successful in closing on any new financing, existing investors will experience
substantial dilution. Our ability to obtain debt financing is also severely
impacted by our financial condition, and likely not even feasible, given that we
do not have revenues or profits to pay interest or repay principal.
As a result, if we are unable to obtain additional financing at
this stage in our operations, our business will fail and our stockholders may
lose some or all of their investment in our common stock.
7
Our inability to complete our product development
activities successfully may severely limit our ability to operate and finance
operations.
Commercialization of our technology will require significant
additional research and development as well as substantial clinical trials. We
believe that Europe and the United States will be the principal markets for our
technology, although we may elect to expand into other regions. We may not be
able to successfully complete development of our technology, or successfully
market our technology. Our research and development programs may not be
successful. Our technology may not prove to be safe and efficacious in clinical
trials, and we may not obtain the necessary regulatory approvals for our
technology. Whether or not any of these events occur, we may not have adequate
resources to continue operations for the period required to resolve any issues
delaying commercialization, and we may not be able to raise capital to finance
our continued operation during the period required for resolution of these
issues.
If we are not able to adequately protect our proprietary
technology, our Company will suffer a material adverse effect.
Our ability to compete successfully and achieve any revenue
will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology and
operate without infringing upon the rights of others. In addition, the departure
of any of our management or any significant technical personnel or consultants
we hire or retain in the future, the breach of their confidentiality and
non-disclosure obligations, or the failure to achieve our intellectual property
objectives may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, and results of operations. We believe our success depends upon the
knowledge and experience of our management and our ability to commercialize our
existing technology and to develop new technologies.
We may not be able to successfully protect our proprietary
technology, and our proprietary technology may otherwise become known, or
similar technology may be independently developed by competitors. While we
believe that we have adequately protected our proprietary technology, and we
intend to take all appropriate and reasonable legal measures to protect it in
the future, the use of our technology by a competitor could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
In addition, competitors may discover novel uses, develop similar or more
marketable technologies, or offer services similar to those offered by our
Company at lower prices. If we are unsuccessful in addressing the risks related
to protecting our proprietary technology, our business will most likely
fail.
We may be subject to intellectual property infringement
litigation, which may be time-consuming and costly
.
We may need to bring legal claims to enforce or protect our
intellectual property rights. Any litigation, whether successful or
unsuccessful, may result in substantial costs and a diversion of our Company's
resources. In addition, notwithstanding our rights to our intellectual property,
other persons may bring claims against us alleging that we have infringed on
their intellectual property rights or that our intellectual property rights are
not valid. Any claims against us, with or without merit, could be time consuming
and costly to defend or litigate, divert our attention and resources, result in
the loss of goodwill associated with our business, or require us to make changes
to our technology.
Clinical trials are expensive, time consuming, and
difficult to design and implement, and it is unclear whether the results of such
clinical trials will be favorable.
We commenced clinical trials of our proposed products in
January 2010. Clinical trials will be expensive and may be difficult to
implement due to the number of patients and testing sites that may be required,
and could be subject to delay or failure at any stage of the trials. We expect
our current funding will be sufficient only to enable us to continue our
operations as currently planned until approximately the end of fiscal 2010.
Accordingly, we will require additional funds to conduct additional clinical
trials, obtain the necessary FDA approvals, and market our products. Any delay
or failure of, or adverse results from, clinical trials will likely require us
to obtain even further funding in order to address such delays or failures, or
to refocus our efforts on other product candidates, and such delay, failure, or
adverse results could make it much more difficult or expensive for us to obtain
funding. Similarly, human clinical trials for our products will be expensive and
difficult to design and implement in part because they will be subject to rigorous regulatory requirements. The
clinical trial process is also time-consuming. We estimate that clinical trials
of our proposed products will take at least several years to complete once
initiated. Furthermore, we may encounter problems that could cause us to abandon
or repeat clinical trials, further delaying or preventing the completion of such
trials.
8
The results of our clinical trials may not support our
product claims.
Even if our clinical trials are completed as planned, we cannot
be certain that their results will support our product claims. Even if
pre-clinical testing and early clinical trials for a product are successful,
this does not ensure that later clinical trials will be successful, and we
cannot be sure that the results of later clinical trials will replicate the
results of prior clinical trials and pre-clinical testing or meet our
expectations. The clinical trial process may fail to demonstrate that our
products are safe for humans or effective for indicated uses. Any such failure
would likely cause us to abandon the product and may delay development of other
product candidates.
Our products are subject to government regulations and
approvals which may delay or prevent the marketing of potential products and
impose costly procedures upon our activities.
The FDA and comparable agencies in state and local
jurisdictions and in foreign countries impose substantial requirements upon
pre-clinical and clinical testing, manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical
and bio-technology products. Lengthy and detailed pre-clinical and clinical
testing, validation of manufacturing and quality control processes, and other
costly and time-consuming procedures are required. Satisfaction of these
requirements typically takes several years and the time needed to satisfy them
may vary substantially, based on the type, complexity, and novelty of the
pharmaceutical product. The effect of government regulation may be to delay or
to prevent marketing of potential products for a considerable period of time and
to impose costly procedures upon our activities. The FDA or any other regulatory
agency may not grant approval on a timely basis, or at all, for any product we
develop. Success in pre-clinical or early stage clinical trials does not assure
success in later stage clinical trials. Data obtained from pre-clinical and
clinical activities are susceptible to varying interpretations that could delay,
limit, or prevent regulatory approval. If regulatory approval of a product is
granted, such approval may impose limitations on the indicated uses for which a
product may be marketed. Further, even after we have obtained regulatory
approval, later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product may
result in restrictions on the product, including withdrawal of the product from
the market. Delay in obtaining or failure to obtain regulatory approvals would
make it difficult or impossible to market our products and would harm our
business.
We may require additional funding, and our future access
to capital is uncertain. Insufficient funds may limit our ability to develop and
commercialize new products, services, and technologies
.
Our business can change unpredictably due to a variety of
factors, including competition, regulation, legal proceedings, or other events,
which could impact our funding needs or our cash flow from operations or
increase our required capital expenditures. In addition, our estimates of the
funds necessary to develop and commercialize our MAbs for the early detection of
cancer with specific antibodies and for the creation of highly specific
therapeutics (antibodies and novel drugs) against cancer or other diagnostic
testing products or services may be inaccurate or we may acquire products or
other assets in the future, in each case which could require additional funds.
Furthermore, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions
or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our
current or future operating plans. We may seek the additional capital through
public or private equity offerings, debt financings, and collaborative and
licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through
the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest may
be diluted and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences or rights
that adversely affect your rights as a stockholder. Debt financing, if
available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting
our ability to take specific actions such as incurring additional debt, making
capital expenditures, or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds
through collaboration and licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have
to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies or products, or grant licenses
on terms that are not favorable to us.
9
Adequate funds, whether through the financial markets or from
other sources, may not be available when we need them or on terms acceptable to
us. For example, the United States has recently experienced an economic
recession, the long-term impact of which cannot be predicted. Furthermore, as a
result of the recent volatility in domestic and international capital markets,
the cost and availability of credit has been and may continue to be adversely
affected as compared to its normal function. Concern about the stability of the
markets generally and the strength of counterparties specifically has led many
lenders and institutional investors to reduce, and in some cases, cease to
provide funding to borrowers. Insufficient funds could cause us to delay, scale
back, or choose not to develop and commercialize new products and technologies,
including diagnostic testing products and services.
Our Principal Executive Offices
Our principal executive offices are located at De Schiervellaan
3/B1, 3500 Hasselt, Belgium. We believe that the condition of our lease property
is satisfactory, suitable, and adequate for our current needs.

dividends on our capital stock and we do not anticipate paying any cash
dividends in the foreseeable future. Our current policy is to retain any

corporate law.
There are no restrictions in our Articles of Incorporation or
Bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes,
however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to
the distribution of the dividend:
-
we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual
course of business; or
-
our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus
the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of stockholders who have
preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
The following Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help you
understand our historical results of operations during the periods presented and
our financial condition. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with our
consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to consolidated
financial statements, and contains forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties. See section entitled Forward-Looking Statements above.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 8, 2006. We
are a development stage company with limited operations and no revenues from our
business operations. Our registered independent auditors have issued a going
concern opinion for this Annual Report. This means that our registered
independent auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as
an on-going business for the next 12 months.
Originally, we had been in the business of developing a
detergent for removing pesticides from fruits and vegetables. Because we were
not successful in implementing our initial business plan, we considered various
alternatives to ensure the viability and solvency of our Company.
On January 10, 2008, we entered into an asset purchase
agreement with Indigoleaf Associates Ltd. (Indigoleaf), and Dr. Amnon Gonenne,
pursuant to which we purchased all of Indigoleafs interest and rights to a
proprietary technology for the rapid and efficient generation of monoclonal
antibodies against desired antigens such as cancer markers, including, but not
limited to, the know-how, secrets, inventions, practices, methods, knowledge and
data owned by Indigoleaf. We purchased this proprietary technology pursuant to
an intellectual property transfer agreement and consummated the other
transactions contemplated by the asset purchase agreement on July 7, 2008.
Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, as amended on April 2, 2009, we issued
25,638,400 shares of our common stock to Indigoleaf in consideration for the
purchase of Indigoleafs proprietary technology, and we issued 6,409,600 shares
of our common stock to Dr. Gonenne in consideration for his being one of the
founders of our cancer therapy and detection business. The shares issued to Dr.
Gonenne were described in error in the asset purchase agreement as having been
issued to Dr. Gonenne in consideration for future services that Dr. Gonenne
agreed to provide to us, and this error has been corrected in the April 2, 2009,
amendment.
On April 2, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the January
10, 2008 asset purchase agreement, pursuant to which the parties corrected the
asset purchase agreement to reflect the original intention of the parties that
the 6,409,600 shares of our common stock that had been issued to Dr. Gonenne had
been issued to Dr. Gonenne as founders shares in consideration for his being one
of the founders of our cancer therapy and detection business. The amendment to
the asset purchase agreement provided that up to 75 percent of the shares issued
to Dr. Gonenne,
i.e
., up to 4,807,200 shares of our common stock, are
subject to a lapsing repurchase right that may be exercised by us in the event
Dr. Gonennes employment agreement with us is terminated within 18 months from
July 7, 2008. The 4,807,200 shares of our common stock subject to the lapsing
repurchase right shall be released from such right in three 6-month intervals,
such that 1/3 of the shares (
i.e.
1,602,400 shares) shall be released
from the lapsing repurchase right at the end of each 6-month interval, provided
that at each respective 6-month interval Dr. Gonenne continues to be retained by
us pursuant to his employment agreement. All of the 4,807,200 shares of common
stock shall be released from the lapsing repurchase right and no longer subject
thereto upon the expiration of a continuous period of employment of 18 months
from July 7, 2008.
On October 30, 2008, we established MabCure, N.V., a wholly
owned subsidiary in Belgium. The Belgian subsidiary was established in order to
accelerate the development and commercialization of our proprietary products for
the early detection of cancer with specific antibodies and for the creation of
highly specific therapeutics (antibodies and novel drugs) against cancer.
MabCure, N.V. will be eligible to apply for research grants from the Flemish
Government.
12
Recent Developments
On September 2, 2009, we entered into a loan agreement to
obtain a bridge loan of $500,000 from a third-party lender. On March 5, 2010, we
entered into a conversion agreement with the lender to convert the loan into of
1,000,000 equity units consisting of common shares and non-transferable share
purchase warrants.
On March 5, 2010, we closed a private placement consisting of
1,000,000 units of our securities at a price of $0.50 per unit, for aggregate
proceeds of $500,000.
Over the next twelve months, we plan to:
-
complete our Asian clinical study for the diagnosis of ovarian cancer;
-
initiate additional anti-ovarian cancer multi-center clinical studies;
-
initiate an anti-prostate cancer diagnosis clinical study;
-
initiate the anti-breast cancer program, with the objective of creating
novel MAbs against this cancer;
-
initiate the antigen identification program in order to identify and
sequence those antigens, or cancer markers, which are recognized by our novel
MAbs. The first antigens to be studied will be the melanoma- specific cancer
markers through the application of our anti-melanoma MAbs; and
-
hire an additional scientist for our Belgian subsidiary to assist in
carrying out the tasks described above.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31,
2008
We had no revenues for the period from May 8, 2006 (date of
inception) through December 31, 2009. Beginning January 2009, we commenced our
research and development activities with our newly acquired proprietary antibody
technology for the early detection of cancer and for the creation of highly
specific therapeutics (antibodies and novel drugs) against cancer.
General and administrative expenses were $956,838 for the year
ended December 31, 2009, compared to $532,158 for the year ended December 31,
2008. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to an increase
in our activity level and expenses related to the grant of certain stock
options. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and
wages, stock-based compensation, marketing and public relations, and
professional fees.
Salaries and wages were $280,402 for year ended December 31,
2009, compared to $186,140 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in
salaries and wages is due to the fact that our employees were hired in mid-2008
compared to a full year of wages in 2009. Stock-based compensation expense for
the year ended December 31, 2009, amounted to $236,894, compared to $6,410 for
the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in stock-based compensation
expense was related to the grant of certain stock options to certain Directors
and officers during the year ended December 31, 2009. Marketing and public
relations amounted to $209,487 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to
$11,606 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in marketing and
public relations expenses was due to agreements we entered into with third
parties to provide us with investor and public relations services. Professional
fees were $87,878 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $159,572 for
the year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in professional fees was due to a
decrease in startup activities of the Company.
Research and development expense was $402,657 for the year
ended December 31, 2009, compared to $3,806 for the year ended December 31,
2008. These costs primarily consist of salaries and wages for our scientists,
who commenced research and development activities in January 2009.
Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009, was
$1,371,938 or $0.02 per share compared to $530,508 or $0.01 per share for the
year ended December 31, 2008. The weighted average number of shares outstanding
was 60,357,211 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to
43,097,814 (post forward stock split) for the year ended December 31, 2008.
13
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 2009
As of December 31, 2009, our current assets were $278,086 and
our current liabilities were $776,167, resulting in negative working capital of
$498,081.
As of December 31, 2009, our total liabilities were $833,036
compared to total liabilities of $286,475 as of December 31, 2008. The increase
in total liabilities as of December 31, 2009, compared to the year ended
December 31, 2008, was due primarily to the $500,000 bridge loan we obtained in
September 2009, as well as an increase in our general activity.
Stockholders equity as of December 31, 2009 was $18,104,598,
compared to equity of $19,207,453 as of December 31, 2008. The decrease in
stockholders equity is mainly a result of the deficit we accumulated since
inception.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, net cash used in
operating activities was $1,031,001 compared to net cash used in operating
activities of $455,081 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Net cash used in
operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2009, was comprised of a
net loss of $1,371,938 (2008: $530,508), donated services, depreciation and
amortization, and stock-based compensation of $322,749 (2008: $13,464), accounts
receivable of $(21,360) (2008: -$10,574), prepaid expenses and other current
assets of $(15,724) (2008: $20,463), and accounts payable and accrued
liabilities $55,272 (2008: $93,000).
For the year ended December 31, 2009, net cash used in
investing activities was $44,435 compared to net cash used in investing
activities of $170,220 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in net
cash used in investing activities for the period ended December 31, 2009, was
mainly the result of a decrease in the purchase of equipment.
Net cash flows from financing activities for the year ended
December 31, 2009, was $491,289 compared to net cash flows from financing
activities of $1,444,210 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in
net cash from financing activities for the period ended December 31, 2009, was
the result of a private placement completed in 2008 with no similar transaction
during 2009.
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations consist mainly of payments related
to capital and operating leases used in the operation of our business as well as
short-term debt. The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as

Recent Private Placements
On September 2, 2009, we entered into a loan agreement to
obtain a bridge loan of $500,000 from a third-party lender for ordinary working
capital needs. The loan was due to mature on September 2, 2010. On March 5,
2010, we entered into a conversion agreement with the lender, pursuant to which
the loan and all accrued interest was converted into equity securities. In full
repayment of the loan and all accrued interest, we issued to the lender
1,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of: (i) one common share; (ii) one
non-transferable share purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase
one share of common stock until February 16, 2012, at a price per share of
US$0.60; and (iii) one non-transferable common stock purchase warrant entitling
the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock until February 16,
2012, at a price per share of US$0.70.
On March 5, 2010, we closed a private placement consisting of
1,000,000 units of our securities at a price of $0.50 per unit, for aggregate
proceeds of $500,000. Each unit consists of: (i) one common share; (ii) one
non-transferable share purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase
one share of common stock for a period of 24 months commencing from the closing
of the private placement agreement, at an exercise price of $0.60 per common
share; and (iii) one non-transferable share purchase warrant entitling the
holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock for a period of 24 months
commencing from the closing of the private placement agreement, at an exercise
price of $0.70 per common share.
Going Concern
Our registered independent auditors included an explanatory
paragraph in their report on the accompanying consolidated financial statements
regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial
statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that
lead to this disclosure by our registered independent auditors. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of that uncertainty.
We expect our current funding will be sufficient only to enable
us to continue our operations as currently planned until approximately the end
of fiscal 2010. We currently estimate that we will require an additional
$2,000,000 to $5,000,000 to fund our operations for the subsequent 12 to 24
month period.
There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain funds
required for our continued operation. There can be no assurance that additional
financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be
obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the
additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other
obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps
even cease the operation of our business. The issuance of additional equity
securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests
of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans
would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations,
liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to
investors.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation
of these financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities
as of the date of the financial statements and during the applicable periods. We
base these estimates on historical experience and on other factors that we
believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ
materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and
could have a material impact on our financial statements.
15
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We estimate the fair value of financial instruments using the
available market information and valuation methods. Considerable judgment is
required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value may
not be indicative of the amounts we could realize in a current market exchange.
As of December 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, the carrying value of our
financial instruments approximated fair value due to the short-term maturity of
these instruments.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
In accordance with ASC Topic 260, basic loss per common share
is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common
share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the
denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that
would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and
if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of December 31, 2009, we had
no stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded in the diluted loss
per share computation.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes pursuant to ASC Topic 740. Under
ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for
income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and
liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification
of the assets and liabilities generating the differences.
We maintain a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax
assets. We established a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood
of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration our financial
position and results of operations for the current period. Future realization of
the deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income
within the carryforward period under the Federal tax laws.
Changes in circumstances, such as generating taxable income,
could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred
tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in
the year of the change in estimate.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance
with ASC Topics 505 and 718. Stock-based compensation for stock options is
measured based on the estimated fair value of each award on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Stock-based compensation for restricted
shares is measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company's
common stock price on the date of grate. The Company recognizes stock-based
compensation costs as expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the
requisite service period
We account for equity instruments issued in exchange for the
receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with ASC
Topic 505. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the
consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments
issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments
issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the
earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider
of goods or services as defined by ASC Topic 505. As of December 31, 2009, we
have adopted a stock option plan and have granted stock options. Refer to Note 1
and Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and
Organization
MabCure Inc. (MabCure or the Company) was incorporated in
the State of Nevada on May 8, 2006, under the name of Smartec Holdings, Inc. The
Company originally was in the business of developing a detergent for removing
pesticides from fruits and vegetables. Because the Company was not successful in
implementing its business plan, it considered various alternatives to ensure the
viability and solvency of the Company. On January 10, 2008, the Company changed
name to MabCure Inc. to better reflect its new business plan. On January 10,
2008, MabCure entered into an asset purchase agreement with Indigoleaf
Associates Ltd. (Indigoleaf) and Dr. Amnon Gonenne pursuant to which the
Company agreed to purchase all of Indigoleafs interest and rights to a
proprietary technology for the rapid and efficient generation of monoclonal
antibodies against desired antigens such as cancer markers, including, but not
limited to, the know-how, secrets, inventions, practices, methods, knowledge and
data owned by Indigoleaf. The Company purchased this proprietary technology
pursuant to an intellectual property transfer agreement and consummated the
other transactions contemplated by the asset purchase agreement on July 7, 2008.
Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, amended on April 2, 2009, the Company
issued 25,638,400 (post forward stock split) shares of its common stock to
Indigoleaf in consideration for the purchase of Indigoleafs proprietary
technology, and the Company issued 6,409,600 (post forward stock split) shares
of common stock to Dr. Gonenne in consideration for being one of the founders of
the Companys cancer therapy and detection business.
On October 30, 2008, the Company established MabCure, N.V., a
wholly owned subsidiary in Belgium. The Belgian subsidiary was established in
order to accelerate the development and commercialization of MabCures
proprietary products for the early detection of cancer with specific antibodies
and for the creation of highly specific therapeutics (antibodies and novel
drugs) against cancer. MabCure, N.V. will be eligible to apply for research
grants from the Flemish Government.
On June 27, 2008, pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, the
Company closed a private placement consisting of 1,300,000 units of MabCures
securities at a price of $1.00 per unit, for aggregate proceeds of $1,300,000.
Each unit consists of: (i) one common share; (ii) one non-transferable share
purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of common
stock for a period of 12 months commencing from the closing of the asset
purchase agreement, exercise price of $1.25 per common share; and (iii) one
non-transferable share purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase
one share of common stock for a period of 24 months commencing from the closing
of the asset purchase agreement, at an exercise price of $1.25 per common
share.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly owned Belgian subsidiary, MabCure, N.V.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting within the consolidated statements of
cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to
withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash
equivalents.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost. Minor
additions and renewals are expensed in the year incurred. Major additions and
renewals are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. When
property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of
operations for the respective period. The Company uses the straight-line method
of depreciation. The estimated useful lives for significant property and
equipment categories are as follows:

Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets
and the related estimated remaining lives at each balance sheet date. The
Company records an impairment or change in useful life whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable or the useful life has changed. For the years ended December 31,
2009, and 2008, no events or circumstances occurred for which an evaluation of
the recoverability of long-lived assets was required.
Lease Obligations
All noncancellable leases with an initial term greater than one
year are categorized as either capital or operating leases. Assets recorded
under capital lease obligations are amortized according to the same methods
employed for property and equipment or over the term of the related lease, if
shorter.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
The Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments
using the available market information and valuation methods. Considerable
judgment is required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates of
fair value may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a
current market exchange. As of December 31, 2009, and 2008, the carrying value
of the Companys financial instruments approximated fair value due to the
short-term maturity of these instruments.
Foreign Currency
Translation
MabCure accounts for foreign currency translation pursuant to
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 830. The functional currency of
the Companys Belgian subsidiary is the euro. Under ASC Topic 830, all assets
and liabilities are translated into United States dollars using the current
exchange rate at the end of each fiscal period. Revenues and expenses are
translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the respective
periods. Translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income
(loss) for the period. Certain transactions of the Companys Belgian subsidiary
are denominated in United States dollars. Translation gains or losses related to
such transactions are recognized for each reporting period in the related
interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss).
Revenue Recognition
The Company is in the development stage and has yet to realize
revenues from planned operations. It plans to recognize revenues from developing
and commercializing its proprietary antibody technology for the early detection
of cancer and for the creation of highly specific therapeutics (antibodies and
novel drugs) against cancer. Revenues will be recognized for financial reporting
purposes when delivery has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an
agreement, acceptance has been approved by the customer, the fee is fixed or
determinable, and collection of the related receivable is probable.

Website Development Costs
The Company recognizes website development costs in accordance
with ASC Topic 350. As such, the Company expenses all costs incurred that relate
to the planning and post implementation phases of development of its website.
Direct costs incurred in the development phase are capitalized and recognized
over the estimated useful life. Costs associated with repair or maintenance for
the website are included in general and administrative expenses in the
accompanying interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
(loss). As of December 31, 2009, and 2008, the Company had capitalized $3,640
related to website development costs.
Basic and Diluted Loss per
Share
In accordance with ASC Topic 260, basic loss per common share
is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common
share is computed similarly to basic loss per common share except that the
denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that
would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and
if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of December 31, 2009, and
2008, the Company had no stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded
in the diluted loss per share computation.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC Topic
740. Under ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined
based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and
liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax
assets and liabilities are classified according to the consolidated financial
statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the
differences.
The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to
deferred tax assets. The Company establishes a valuation allowance based upon
the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into
consideration the Companys consolidated financial position and results of
operations for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax
benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the
carryforward period under the Federal tax laws.
Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating
taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the
related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be
included in income in the year of the change in estimate.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance
with ASC Topics 505 and 718. Stock-based compensation for stock options is
measured based on the estimated fair value of each award on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Stock-based compensation for restricted
shares is measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company's
common stock price on the date of grate. The Company recognizes stock-based
compensation costs as expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the
requisite service period.
On August 10, 2009, the Company granted to Directors and
officers 420,000 options to purchase a like number of shares of common stock. In
addition, on December 10, 2009, the Company granted to employees 120,000 options
to purchase a like number of shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2009,
220,000 of such options were fully vested. Fair value was estimated at the date
of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model, with the following weighted
average assumptions:

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options on
December 31, 2009, was $0.75 per share.
The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation
method is based on the implied yield currently available in U.S. Treasury
securities at maturity with an equivalent term. The Company has not declared or
paid any dividends and does not currently expect to do so in the future. The
expected term of options represents the period that our stock-based awards are
expected to be outstanding and was determined based on projected holding periods
for the remaining unexercised shares. Consideration was given to the contractual
terms of our stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future
employee behavior. Expected volatility is based on the Companys historical
volatility of its stock price.
The Companys stock price volatility and option lives involve
managements best estimates, both of which impact the fair value of the option
calculated under the Black-Scholes methodology and, ultimately, the expense that
will be recognized over the life of the option.
When options are exercised, the policy of the Company is to
issue previously unissued shares of common stock to satisfy share option
exercises. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had 1,439,600,275 shares of
authorized but unissued common stock.
No tax benefits were attributed to the stock-based compensation
expense because a valuation allowance was maintained for substantially all net
deferred tax assets.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange
for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance
with ASC Topic 505. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the
consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments
issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments
issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the
earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider
of goods or services as defined by ASC Topic 505.
On September 2, 2009, we entered into a loan agreement to
obtain a bridge loan of $500,000 from a third-party lender for ordinary working
capital needs (See note 4 above). On March 5, 2010, we entered into a conversion
agreement with the lender, pursuant to which the loan and all accrued interest
was converted into equity securities. In full repayment of the loan and all
accrued interest, we issued to the lender 1,000,000 units, with each unit
consisting of: (i) one common share; (ii) one non-transferable share purchase
warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock until
February 16, 2012, at a price per share of US$0.60; and (iii) one
non-transferable common stock purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to
purchase one share of common stock until February 16, 2012, at a price per share
of US$0.70.
On March 5, 2010, we closed an offshore private placement
consisting of 1,000,000 units of our securities at a price of $0.50 per unit,
for aggregate proceeds of $500,000. Each unit consists of: (i) one common share;
(ii) one non-transferable share purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to
purchase one share of common stock for a period of 24 months commencing from the
closing of the private placement agreement, at an exercise price of $0.60 per
common share; and (iii) one non-transferable share purchase warrant entitling
the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock for a period of 24
months commencing from the closing of the private placement agreement, at an
exercise price of $0.70 per common share.

Subsequent events
The management of the Company performs a review and evaluation
of subsequent events following the end of each quarterly and annual financial
period. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the review and evaluation of
subsequent events for proper accrual and disclosure was completed through March
15, 2010, which was the date the financial statements were available to be
issued.
Estimates
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared
on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of
December 31, 2009, and 2008, and revenues and expenses for the years ended
December 31, 2009, and 2008, and cumulative from inception. Actual results could
differ from those estimates made by management.
Reclassification
Certain 2008 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
2009 presentation.

Development Stage Activities and Going Concern
The Company is currently in the development stage. The original
business plan of the Company was to develop a detergent for removing pesticides
from fruits and vegetables. However, the Company has changed its business plan
to develop and commercialize its proprietary antibody technology for the early
detection of cancer and for the creation of highly specific therapeutics
(antibodies and novel drugs) against cancer. The Company plans to continue its
capital formation activities through the issuance of debt and shares of common
stock.
While management of the Company believes that it will be
successful in its capital formation and planned operating activities, there can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional equity
capital, or be successful in the development and commercialization of its
proprietary antibody technology for the early detection of cancer or for the
creation of highly specific therapeutics (antibodies and novel drugs) against
cancer that will generate sufficient revenues to sustain the operations of the
Company.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a
going concern. MabCure has not established any source of revenues to cover its
operating costs, and as such, has incurred an operating loss since inception.
Further, as of December 31, 2009, and 2008, the cash resources of the Company
were insufficient to meet its current business plan. These and other factors
raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going
concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that
may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going
concern.

Purchase of Intellectual Property and Stock Issuance to
Founder
On January 10, 2008, MabCure entered into an asset purchase
agreement with Indigoleaf Associates Ltd. (Indigoleaf) and Dr. Amnon Gonenne
pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase all of Indigoleafs interest
and rights to a proprietary technology for the rapid and efficient generation of
monoclonal antibodies against desired antigens such as cancer markers,
including, but not limited to, the know-how, secrets, inventions, practices,
methods, knowledge and data owned by Indigoleaf. The Company purchased this
proprietary technology pursuant to an intellectual property transfer agreement and consummated the other transactions contemplated
by the asset purchase agreement on July 7, 2008. Pursuant to the asset purchase
agreement, as amended on April 2, 2009, the Company issued 25,638,400 (post
forward stock split) shares of its common stock to Indigoleaf in consideration
for the purchase of Indigoleafs proprietary technology, valued at $18,486,286
and the Company, issued 6,409,600 (post forward stock split) shares of common
stock to Dr. Gonenne in consideration for being one of the founders of the
Companys cancer therapy and detection business.

MABCURE INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE
COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER
31, 2009, AND 2008
On April 2, 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to the
asset purchase agreement dated January 10, 2008, whereby the parties specified
their original intention that the 6,409,600 (post forward stock split) shares of
the Companys common stock that were issued to Dr. Gonenne were, in fact, issued
to Dr. Gonenne as founders shares as consideration for being one of the
founders of the Companys cancer therapy and detection business. The amendment
to the asset purchase agreement provided that up to 75 percent of the shares
issued to Dr. Gonenne, i.e., up to 4,807,200 (post forward stock split) shares
of the Companys common stock, are subject to a lapsing repurchase right that
may be exercised by the Company in the event Dr. Gonennes employment agreement
with the Company is terminated within 18 months from July 7, 2008. The 4,807,200
(post forward stock split) shares of the Companys common stock subject to the
lapsing repurchase right shall be released from such right in three 6-month
intervals, such that 1/3 of the shares (i.e. 1,602,400 post forward stock
shares) shall be released from the lapsing repurchase right at the end of each
6-month interval, provided that at each respective 6-month interval, Dr. Gonenne
continues to be retained by the Company pursuant to his employment agreement.
All of the 4,807,200 shares of common stock shall be released from the lapsing
repurchase right and no longer subject thereto upon the expiration of a
continuous period of employment of 18 months from July 7, 2008.
The purchase of intellectual property from Indigoleaf was
accounted for under ASC Topic 350. The value of the intellectual property
acquired on July 7, 2008, was calculated using the fair market value of the
Companys common stock 15 days before and after the acquisition times a discount
factor to reflect the fact that the issued stock is restricted and is escrowed
for an extended period of time under the agreement. This value amounted to
$18,485,286 for the 25,638,400 (post forward stock split) shares issued by
Indigoleaf and was recorded by the Company as an intangible asset, intellectual
property in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31,
2009, and 2008. The management of the Company believes that there are no legal,
regulatory, contractual, competitive, or economic factors that limit the useful
life of this intangible asset. Consequently, the Company considers the useful
life of this asset to be indefinite and has recorded no amortization expense. In
accordance with ASC Topic 350, the Company will, on a periodic basis,
re-evaluate the remaining useful life of this intangible asset to determine
whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful
life.

Loan Payable and Lease Obligations
Leases:
Capital Leases
The Company currently has capital lease commitments for
furniture, fixtures, and vehicles. As of December 31, 2009, and 2008, the total
cost of capitalized leases presented in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets amounted to $93,141, and $123,079, respectively. Amortization of the
capital lease costs for items used in research and development is included in
research and development expenses. Amortization of the capital lease costs for
items not used in research and development is included in depreciation and
amortization expense.
Operating Lease
The Company currently has operating lease commitments for
office space and employee housing with unrelated parties for a period of up to
three years through September 2011. Lease expense related to office space for
the years ended December 31, 2009, and 2008, amounted to $15,125 and $6,826,
respectively. Lease expense related to employee housing for the years ended
December 31, 2009, and 2008, was $21,282 and 2008 $11,674, respectively.

Loan Payable
On September 2, 2009, the Company entered into a loan agreement
to obtain a bridge loan of $500,000 from a third-party lender. The loan amount
bears interest at a rate of six percent per annum, is unsecured, and matures on
September 2, 2010. The accrued interest will be payable on the repayment of the
loan. The loan amount will be used for ordinary working capital needs. As of
December 31, 2009, the amount due was $500,000.
The Company has a third-party loan payable that was provided
for working capital purposes, and is non-interest bearing, unsecured, and has no
terms for repayment. As of December 31, 2009, and 2008, the amount due was
$58,258 for both years.

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

Stock options
On August 4, 2009, as part of the Companys Annual Meeting of
Shareholders, the shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the
MabCure, Inc. 2009 Stock Option Plan (the Plan). The purpose of this Plan is
to retain the services of valued key employees and consultants of the Company
and to encourage such persons to acquire a greater proprietary interest in the
Company, thereby strengthening their incentive to achieve the objectives of the
shareholders of the Company, and to serve as an aid and inducement in the hiring
of new employees and to provide an equity incentive to consultants and other
persons selected by the Company. The Company has reserved 6,034,800 shares of
common stock, par value $0.001 per share, for issuance under the Plan, subject
to adjustment to protect against dilution in the event of certain changes in the
Companys capitalization.
The following is a summary of stock option grants issued under
the Plan:
In August 2009, the Company granted an option to each of two
members of the Companys Board of Directors to purchase 120,000 shares (total of
240,000 shares) of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.87 per share.
In August 2009, the Company granted an option to purchase
180,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.87 per share to
its Chief Financial Officer.
In December 2009, the Company granted an option to purchase
120,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.65 per share to

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had net operating
loss carryforwards for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $2,012,711
and $640,773, respectively, which may be offset against future taxable income.
The domestic net operating loss carryforwards start to expire in the year 2027.
The Belgian net operating loss carryforwards start to expire in the year 2013.
Belgian tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future
taxable income when there is a change in the control of the Company, not
justified by financial or economic reasons. Therefore, the amount available to
offset future taxable income may be limited.
The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against all of
its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets at December 31, 2009, and 2008.
No tax benefit has been reported in the consolidated financial statements for
the realization of loss carryforwards, as the Company believes there is high
probability that the carryforwards will not be utilized in the foreseeable
future. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carryforwards are
offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

Related Party Transactions
As of December 31, 2009, and 2008, the Company owed to
Directors and officers of the Company a total of $29,365 and $8,138,
respectively, for various working capital loans received by the Company. The
loans are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and have no terms for repayment.
(9)
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to various commitments under contractual
and other commercial obligations. Refer to Note 4 entitled Loan Payable and
Lease Obligations for minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating
and capital lease obligations as of December 31, 2009.
On March 15, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with a
third party to provide investor and public relations services to the Company.
The term of the agreement was 18 months, during which the Company undertook to
pay to the third party $13,500 monthly for services provided. Also, as part of
the agreement, the Company undertook to deliver two warrants to purchase a total
of 300,000 shares (post forward stock split) of the Companys common stock at
$1.00 per share purchase price. The Company terminated the agreement on December
31, 2009 and the warrant exercise period has expired with no warrants having
been exercised.
On August 7, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with a
third party to provide investor relations services to the Company. The agreement
term was six months, during which the Company undertook to pay the third party
$7,500 monthly for services provided, plus a retainer fee of $15,000. In
addition, at the commencement of the agreement, the Company undertook to deliver
51,725 unregistered and restricted shares of the common stock of the Company.
This agreement was terminated as of February 7, 2010.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161 (ASC
Topic 815),
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
an amendment of FASB Statement 133
(SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 (ASC
Topic 815) enhances required disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging
activities, including enhanced disclosures regarding how: (a) an entity uses
derivative instruments; (b) derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities
; and (c) derivative instruments and
related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. Specifically, SFAS No. 161 (ASC Topic 815)
requires:
-
Disclosure of the objectives for using derivative instruments in terms of
underlying risk and accounting designation;
-
Disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and
losses in a tabular format;
-
Disclosure of information about credit-risk-related contingent features;
and
-
Cross-reference from the derivative footnote to other footnotes in which
derivative-related information is disclosed.
SFAS No. 161 (ASC Topic 815) is effective for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Earlier application is
encouraged. The management of MabCure does not believe the adoption of this
pronouncement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 162 (ASC Topic
105),
The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(SFAS
No. 162). SFAS No. 162 (ASC Topic 105) identifies the sources of accounting
principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America. The sources of accounting principles that are
generally accepted are categorized in descending order as follows:
|
a)
|
FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards and
Interpretations, FASB Statement 133 Implementation Issues, FASB Staff
Positions, and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)
Accounting Research Bulletins and Accounting Principles Board Opinions
that are not superseded by actions of the FASB.
|
|
|
|
|
b)
|
FASB Technical Bulletins and, if cleared by the FASB,
AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements of
Position.
|
|
|
|
|
c)
|
AICPA Accounting Standards Executive Committee Practice
Bulletins that have been cleared by the FASB, consensus positions of the
FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), and the Topics discussed in
Appendix D of EITF Abstracts (EITF D-Topics).
|
|
|
|
|
d)
|
Implementation guides (Q&As) published by the FASB
staff, AICPA Accounting Interpretations, AICPA Industry Audit and
Accounting Guides and Statements of Position not cleared by the FASB, and
practices that are widely recognized and prevalent either generally or in
the industry.
|
SFAS No. 162 (ASC Topic 105) is effective 60 days following the
SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendment to its
authoritative literature. It is only effective for nongovernmental entities;
therefore, the GAAP hierarchy will remain in SAS 69 for state and local
governmental entities and federal governmental entities. The management of
MabCure does not believe the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements.

On May 26, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 163 (ASC
Topic 944),
Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts
(SFAS No. 163). SFAS No. 163 (ASC Topic 944) clarifies how FASB Statement No.
60,
Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises
(SFAS No. 60),
applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance
enterprises, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and
claim liabilities. It also requires expanded disclosures about financial
guarantee insurance contracts.
The accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 163 (ASC
Topic 944) are intended to improve the comparability and quality of information
provided to users of financial statements by creating consistency. Diversity
exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by
insurance enterprises under SFAS No. 60. That diversity results in
inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities because
of differing views about when a loss has been incurred under FASB Statement No.
5,
Accounting for Contingencies.
SFAS No. 163 (ASC Topic 944) requires
that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of
default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an
insured financial obligation. It also requires disclosure about (a) the
risk-management activities used by an insurance enterprise to evaluate credit
deterioration in its insured financial obligations and (b) the insurance
enterprises surveillance or watch list.
SFAS No. 163 (ASC Topic 944) is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all
interim periods within those fiscal years, except for disclosures about the
insurance enterprises risk-management activities. Disclosures about the
insurance enterprises risk-management activities are effective the first period
beginning after issuance of SFAS No. 163. Except for those disclosures, earlier
application is not permitted. The management of MabCure does not expect the
adoption of this pronouncement to have material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
On May 22, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 164 (ASC
Topic 958),
Not-for-Profit Entities: Mergers and Acquisitions
(SFAS
No. 164). SFAS No. 164 (ASC Topic 958) is intended to improve the relevance,
representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a
not-for-profit entity provides in its financial reports about a combination with
one or more other not-for-profit entities, businesses, or nonprofit activities.
To accomplish that, this Statement establishes principles and requirements for
how a not-for-profit entity:
|
a.
|
Determines whether a combination is a merger or an
acquisition.
|
|
b.
|
Applies the carryover method in accounting for a
merger.
|
|
c.
|
Applies the acquisition method in accounting for an
acquisition, including determining which of the combining entities the
acquirer is.
|
|
d.
|
Determines what information to disclose to enable users
of financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of a
merger or an acquisition.
|
This Statement also improves the information a not-for-profit
entity provides about goodwill and other intangible assets after an acquisition
by amending FASB Statement No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
to make it fully applicable to not-for-profit entities.
SFAS No. 164 (ASC Topic 958) is effective for mergers occurring
on or after December 15, 2009, and acquisitions for which the acquisition date
is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on
or after December 15, 2009. Early application is prohibited. The management of
the Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have material
impact on its financial statements.
On May 28, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 165 (ASC
Topic 855),
Subsequent Events
(SFAS No. 165). SFAS No. 165 (ASC Topic

that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are
issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, SFAS No. 165 (ASC Topic 855)

On June 9, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 166 (ASC
Topic 860),
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets- an amendment of
FASB Statement No. 140
(SFAS No. 166). SFAS No. 166 (ASC Topic 860)
revises the derecognization provision of SFAS No. 140
Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of
Liabilities
and will require entities to provide more information about
sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if
the seller retains some risk with respect to the assets. It also eliminates the
concept of a "qualifying special-purpose entity."
This statement is effective for financial asset transfers
occurring after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after
November 15, 2009. The management of the Company does not expect the adoption of
this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement 167 (ASC Topic
810) "
Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)
." SFAS No. 167 (ASC
Topic 810) amends certain requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
to improve financial
reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities and to provide
additional disclosures about the involvement with variable interest entities and
any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. A reporting
entity will be required to disclose how its involvement with a variable interest
entity affects the reporting entity's financial statements.
This Statement shall be effective as of the beginning of each
reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins after November 15,
2009. The management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this
pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement 168 (ASC Topic
105), "
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No.

" ("SFAS No. 168"). SFAS No. 168 (ASC Topic 105) establishes the FASB
Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification") to become the single
official source of authoritative, nongovernmental US generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). The Codification did not change GAAP but
reorganizes the literature.
SFAS No. 168 (ASC Topic 105) is effective for interim and

does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on
its financial statements.

agreement with the lender, pursuant to which the loan and all accrued interest
was converted into equity securities. In full repayment of the loan and all
accrued interest, the Company issued to the lender 1,000,000 units, with each unit
consisting of: (i) one common share; (ii) one non-transferable share purchase
warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock until
February 16, 2012, at a price per share of US$0.60; and (iii)

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other
procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information
required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. Disclosure controls
and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports
that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated
to the issuers management, including the principal executive and principal
financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and
procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and
with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of the end of
the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(b) Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Securities
Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an assessment of the
design and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
the fiscal year covered by this Report based on the framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission in
Internal ControlIntegrated Framework.
Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of
December 31, 2009, the Companys internal control over financial reporting was
effective.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of
our Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the
Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
SEC that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this Annual
Report.
(c) Change in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There were no significant changes to our internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) during our fourth fiscal quarter, that could materially affect, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

experience during at least the past five years of each Director, executive

occupation during that period, and the name and principal business of the
organization in which such occupation and employment were carried out.

firms, specializing in audits of medium-sized enterprises as well as public
companies.
22
Mr. Kalfus is a Certified Public Accountant, holds an MSc in
Accounting from Fairleigh Dickinson University, and a BBA in Finance from the
University of Georgia.
Board Leadership Structure
The Company has chosen to combine the principal executive
officer and Board chairman positions. The Company believes that this Board
leadership structure is the most appropriate for the Company for the following
reasons. First, the Company is a development stage company and at this early
stage, it is more efficient to have the leadership of the Board in the same
hands as the principal executive officer of the Company. The challenges faced by
the Company at this stage obtaining financing and performing research and
development activities are most efficiently dealt with by having one person
intimately familiar with both the operational aspects as well as the strategic
aspects of the Companys business. Second, Dr. Gonenne is uniquely suited to
fulfill both positions of responsibility because he possesses both the strategic
vision as well as the hands-on management experience that the Company needs to
execute its business plan.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among our Directors or
executive officers.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
None of our Directors, executive officers, promoters or control
persons has been involved in any of the following events during the past ten
years:
-
any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such
person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the
bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
-
any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);
-
being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed,
suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or
temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his
involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or
-
being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the
Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the
judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.
Committees of the Board of Directors
At present, we do not have any committees of the Board of
Directors.
Code of Ethics
At present, we have not adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to
our principal executive, financial and accounting officers; however, we plan to
implement such a Code in the near future.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our Directors,
executive officers and persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered
class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of
beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports
concerning their ownership of our Common Shares and other equity securities,
on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Directors, executive officers
and persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered class of our equity
securities are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all
Section 16(a) reports they file.
23
Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received
by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe
that all filing requirements applicable to our Directors, executive officers,
and persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered class of our equity
securities were complied with.
Audit Committee
We do not presently have a separately constituted audit
committee or any other committees of our Board of Directors. Nor do we have an
audit committee financial expert. As such, our entire Board of Directors acts
as our audit committee.
Boards Role in Risk Oversight
The Board assesses on an ongoing basis the risks faced by the
Company. These risks include financial, technological, competitive, and
operational risks. The Board dedicates time at each of its meetings to review
and consider the relevant risks faced by the Company at that time. In addition,
since the Company does not have an Audit Committee, the entire Board is also
responsible for the assessment and oversight of the Companys financial risk
exposures.

any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons
(including a spouse, parents, children, siblings, and in-laws).
On January 10, 2008, we entered into an asset purchase
agreement with Indigoleaf Associates Ltd. (Indigoleaf), and Dr. Amnon Gonenne,
our President, Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer), and a
Director, pursuant to which we purchased all of Indigoleafs interest and rights
to a proprietary technology for the rapid and efficient generation of monoclonal
antibodies against desired antigens such as cancer markers, including, but not
limited to, the know-how, secrets, inventions, practices, methods, knowledge and
data owned by Indigoleaf. We purchased this proprietary technology pursuant to
an intellectual property transfer agreement and consummated the other
transactions contemplated by the asset purchase agreement on July 7, 2008.
Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, as amended on April 2, 2009, we issued
25,638,400 (post forward stock split) shares of its common stock to Indigoleaf
in consideration for the purchase of Indigoleafs proprietary technology, and,
we issued 6,409,600 (post forward stock split) shares of our common stock to Dr.
Gonenne in consideration for his being one of the founders of our cancer therapy
and detection business. The shares issued to Dr. Gonenne were described in error
in the asset purchase agreement as having been issued to Dr. Gonenne in
consideration for future services that Dr. Gonenne agreed to provide to us, and
this error has been corrected in the April 2, 2009 amendment.
28
As of December 31, 2009, we owed to certain of our Directors
and officers $29,365 for various working capital loans received by us through
December 31, 2009. The loans are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and have no
terms for repayment.
On April 2, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the January
10, 2008, asset purchase agreement, pursuant to which parties corrected the
asset purchase agreement to reflect the original intention of the parties that
the 6,409,600 shares of our common stock that had been issued to Dr. Gonenne had
been issued to Dr. Gonenne as founders shares in consideration for his being one
of the founders of our cancer therapy and detection business. The amendment to
the asset purchase agreement provided that up to 75 percent of the shares issued
to Dr. Gonenne,
i.e
., up to 4,807,200 shares of common stock, are subject
to a lapsing repurchase right that may be exercised by us in the event Dr.
Gonennes employment agreement with us is terminated within 18 months of July 7,
2008. The 4,807,200 shares of our common stock subject to the lapsing repurchase
right shall be released from such right in three 6-month intervals, such that
1/3 of the shares (
i.e.
1,602,400 shares) shall be released from the
lapsing repurchase right at the end of each 6-month interval, provided that at
each respective 6-month interval Dr. Gonenne continues to be retained by us
pursuant to his employment agreement. All of the 4,807,200 shares of common
stock shall be released from the lapsing repurchase right and no longer subject
thereto upon the expiration of a continuous period of employment of 18 months
from July 7, 2008.
Dr. Amnon Gonenne is not an Independent Director of the Company
as he is an executive officer. Mr. Itshak Zivan and Dr. David S. Frank are
Independent Directors. The determination of independence of Directors has been
made using the definition of "Independent Director" contained under Nasdaq
Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15).
