(including the subsidiaries, referred to as Samaritan, the "Company", "its", "we", and "our"), formed in September 1994, is an entrepreneurial biopharmaceutical company, focused on commercializing innovative therapeutic products to relieve the suffering of patients with Alzheimer's disease; cancer; cardiovascular disease, HIV, and Hepatitis C; as well as, commercializing its acquired marketing and sales rights, to sell fifteen (15) marketed revenue-generating products, in Greece, and/or various Eastern European countries.

Samaritan has partnered its oral entry inhibitor HIV drug SP-01A, a drug that has demonstrated safety and efficacy, in Phase II clinical trials, with Pharmaplaz, Ireland to advance to Phase III clinical trials. In addition, Samaritan aims to commercialize three (3) market drug candidates with late-stage preclinical development programs. Samaritan is evaluating the use of Caprospinol, SP-233 in Alzheimer's disease patients; the use of SP-1000 with acute coronary disease patients; and the use of SP-30 as an "oral treatment" for Hepatitis C patients.

Commercialization Business Model

Our commercialization business model is focused dually on, the partnering of our promising innovative products to pharmaceutical companies; and the acquisition of the marketing and sales rights to revenue-generating marketed products for sales in Greece and Eastern Europe. This model allows Samaritan to focus on our core competencies in drug discovery and drug development. Samaritan seeks to bring its promising innovative therapeutics to Phase II proof of concept clinical trials, and partner compelling drugs before costly Phase III clinical trials. Potential revenue streams with this model could include up-front fees, milestone payments, and participation in the marketing success of partnered products through royalties. In addition, Samaritan licenses branded approved specialty drug products, and its sales and marketing force, registers and commercializes specialty drugs in the niche territories of Greece and Eastern Europe to ge nerate revenue with the goal of eventually sustaining the Company. Our business model is entirely focused on achieving growth and maximizing value for the benefit of our investors.

Sales and Marketing

We in-license products that focus on targeting healthcare providers, managed healthcare organizations, specialty distribution companies, government purchasers, and payers.

Product Candidates

A significant portion of our operating expenses are related to the research and development of investigational-stage product candidates. Research and development expenses were $1,733,194 in 2007, $4,667,053 in 2006, and $3,456,301 in 2005.

We currently focus our research and development efforts in the therapeutic areas of Alzheimer's, cancer, cardiovascular and infectious diseases. Any of our programs in these disease areas could become more significant to us in the future, but there can be no assurance that any program in development or investigation will generate viable marketable products. As such, we continually evaluate all product candidates and may, from time to time, discontinue the development of any given program and focus our attention and resources elsewhere. We may choose to address new opportunities for future growth in a number of ways including, but not limited to, internal discovery and development of new products, out licensing and in-licensing of products and technologies, and/or acquisition of companies with products and/or technologies. Any of these activities may require substantial research and development efforts and expenditure of significa nt amounts of capital. The following summarizes our current product candidate programs with relevant out-licensing deals that the Company has completed.

Alzheimer's disease

SP-233

Caprospinol (SP-233) is a novel Alzheimer's drug candidate that Samaritan believes has the potential to clear beta-amyloid plaque from the brain; a problem that most researchers today believe is the cause of Alzheimer's. Samaritan filed an IND application for Caprospinol on October 30, 2006 and was subsequently granted an IND number by the FDA. The Company believes that Caprospinol could be a significant breakthrough in the treatment of Alzheimer's, and plans to provide the information requested by the FDA in order to continue moving our Caprospinol development program forward.

On December 7, 2006, Samaritan announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has completed its regulatory review of our IND (Investigational New Drug) application for Caprospinol and has requested that additional information be submitted in support of the safety of Caprospinol, prior to initiating Samaritan's proposed Phase I clinical study. Samaritan is currently performing additional studies to submit and support the IND submitted to the FDA.

Cardiovascular

SP-1000

SP-1000 is a fast-acting peptide that can be used to clean the blood of excessive cholesterol in acute high cholesterol conditions. SP-1000 plays a role in transformation and binding of LDL cholesterol and raising HDL, the good cholesterol, with immediate results.

8


To this end, Samaritan's collaborating scientists developed SP-1000 to be a potential hypocholesterolemic agent that acts through a new and novel mechanism of action that is quite distinct to the mechanism of action mediating the effects of statins.

The effectiveness of SP-1000 peptide treatment has been demonstrated in two validated hypercholesterolemia animal models, a genetically engineered mouse model mimicking familial hypercholesterolemia, and in diet-induced hypercholesterolemia guinea pigs.

Based on the study results, Samaritan collaborative scientists believe that the SP-1000 peptide could have the following pharmacological activities:

o     

SP-1000 peptide will not interfere with cholesterol metabolism and disposition

o     

SP-1000 peptide will increase HDL while decreasing serum free cholesterol and total bile cholesterol

o     

SP-1000 peptide will be effective in removing atheromas and preventing plaque formation

o     

SP-1000 peptide will protect against high cholesterol-induced neurological, cardiac and muscular suffering, and gross liver morphology

Taken together, these data on classic animal models of familial and dietary hypercholesterolemia show that SP-1000 is an interesting new and novel lipid lowering drug with a strong patent position that represents a competitive advantage over currently available therapeutic options

Infectious Diseases

SP-01A

SP-01A is an HIV oral entry inhibitor drug. In order for viruses to reproduce, they must infect or hi-jack a cell, and use it to make new viruses. Just as your body is constantly making new skin cells, or new blood cells, each cell often makes new proteins in order to stay alive and to reproduce itself. Viruses hide their own DNA in the DNA of the cell, and then, when the cell tries to make new proteins, it accidentally makes new viruses as well. HIV mostly infects cells in the immune system.

Clinical studies to date suggest that SP-01A prevents HIV from entering cells by inhibiting HIV-1 viral replication through a novel mechanism that is unique to any antiviral drug SP-01A reduces intracellular cholesterol and corticosteroid biosynthesis, which causes the inability of lipid rafts in the cellular membrane to organize, ultimately preventing fusion of an HIV receptor and both the CCR5 and CXCR4 cellular receptors.

On March 28, 2007, Samaritan and Pharmaplaz, a private Irish Healthcare company and a shareholder of Samaritan, signed an agreement (the "Pharmaplaz Agreement") to commercialize SP-01A. Under the terms of the agreement, Pharmaplaz is required to pay Samaritan $10 million upfront. To date, under the Pharmaplaz Agreement, the amount of funds received from Pharmaplaz is $2.15 million; $1.4 million and $750,000 were received during the first and fourth quarter of 2007 respectively. On May 15, 2007, the CEO of Pharmaplaz, Michael Macken, signed a personal guarantee and on May 21, 2007 a stock pledge agreement for 943,291 (split-adjusted) shares of Samaritan Pharmaceuticals to guarantee the balance of the $7.85 million. On May 15, 2007, the amount of shares pledged was worth $1,300,742. On December 31, 2007, the last reported market sale price of our Common Stock was $0.33 and the value of the stock pledge was $311,286. As a result of Pharmaplaz's failure to timely pay the remaining balance of 7.85 million, Pharmaplaz is not in compliance with the terms of the Pharmaplaz Agreement. Samaritan is currently working with Pharmaplaz to collect the past due remaining balance.

Pharmaplaz, a shareholder, will pay for and be responsible for future research and development to bring the technology to market. Samaritan has no remaining obligations or performance for future research and development. The $10,000,000 payment is non-refundable. Upon request, Samaritan might occasionally advise Pharmaplaz regarding SP-01A, in relationship to Principal Investigators with applications for NIH grants, or other grant applications to advance SP-01A, at Pharmaplaz's cost. Samaritan and Pharmaplaz will split 50/50 of all revenues stemming from SP-01A.

SP-30 has demonstrated promise in preclinical studies as an antiviral therapeutic in the treatment of Hepatitis C (HCV) as well as a therapeutic adjuvant in the treatment of HIV. SP-30 offers several distinctive competitive advantages as a potential oral adjuvant therapeutic in the treatment of HCV infected individuals. SP-30 is uniquely different from other inhibitors of viral replication in that it appears to condition the cell. This unique multiple target mechanism of action provides several advantages.

1.     

In HCV infected individuals, SP-30 uses its unique mechanism to build a fence around the cell and prevent viral entry. Consequently, HCV is unable to replicate or mutate and is eventually eradicated by the immune system.

2.     

Because SP-30's targets belong to the host cell and not to the virus itself, SP-30 may not be susceptible to the development of resistance.

3.     

SP-30 does not appear to be contraindicated with any other currently approved ARV or HCV treatments.

Therefore, based on its favorable in-vitro inhibition data, Samaritan is developing a Phase I clinical study protocol for SP-30 as a potential oral adjuvant therapeutic in the treatment of HCV infected individuals.

Endocrinology

SP-6300

SP-6300 is a new and novel approach for the treatment of Cushing's syndrome, also known as exogenous hypercortisolism. Cushing's syndrome affects adults 20 to 50 with an estimated 10 to 15 of every million people affected each year. Hypercortisolism occurs when the body's tissues are exposed to excessive levels of cortisol for long periods of time.

Many people suffer the symptoms of exogenous hypercortisolism because they take glucocorticoid hormones such as prednisone, dexamethasone (Decadron) and methylprednisolone (Medrol), for asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and other inflammatory diseases or for immunosuppression after transplantation. People can also develop exogenous hypercortisolism from injectable corticosteroids – for example, repeated injections for joint pain, bursitis and back pain.

On September 18, 2007, Samaritan announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has completed its regulatory review of our IND (Investigational New Drug) application for SP-6300.

Non Drug Products

Alzheimer's Diagnostic Blood Test

Our Alzheimer's diagnostic is a simple blood test which can be used as an alternative or supplement to spinal taps or expensive MRIs currently used by competitors.

Breast Cancer Diagnostic

Our non-invasive blood test could be the first diagnostic tool to predict if a breast tumor is cancerous, with the added possibility to detect one single aggressive cancer cell out of a million blood cells. This tool could also be used as a monitoring tool to measure the success of chemotherapy, radiation and other drug treatments for aggressive cancer and ultimately allow patients to avoid the high costs and negative effects of unnecessary chemotherapy.

Alzheimer's Rat Model Tool to Test New Drugs

We have developed an animal model that mimics the human phenotype of Alzheimer's disease pathology. We believe this Alzheimer's Rat Model will likely provide pharmaceutical companies the means to rapidly screen and develop therapeutics to control Alzheimer's disease.

Collaborations, Alliances, and Investments

The Research Institute of McGill University Health Centre and Samaritan Therapeutics

10


On July 1, 2007, Samaritan executed research collaboration (the "Research Collaboration") with the Research Institute of McGill University Health Centre and Samaritan Therapeutics over a ten-year period through 2017 to discover and develop new compounds. The budget is for $1,000,000 paid over four (4) quarterly payments of $250,000, is unallocated, and covers the general research and development effort. Under the Research Collaboration, the Company receives worldwide exclusive rights, excluding Canada, to any novel therapeutic agents or diagnostic technologies that may result from the Research Collaboration. Samaritan Therapeutics receives exclusive rights to the Canadian market to any novel therapeutic agents or diagnostic technologies that may result from the Research Collaboration.

Under the Research Collaboration, Samaritan receives worldwide exclusive rights to any novel therapeutic agents or diagnostic technologies that may result from the Research Collaboration. Dr. Vassilios Papadopoulos, Dr. Janet Greeson, Dr. Thomas Lang and Dr. Wolfgang Renz lead our team of eight (8) research professionals (including five (5) Ph.D. level research scientists) who have expertise in the fields of endocrinology, pharmacology, cell biology, organic and steroid chemistry, and computer modeling. We are not obligated to pay the Research Collaboration any milestone payments. Our collaborators are entitled to receive royalties based on our revenue from product sales and sublicenses, if any. Samaritan Pharmaceuticals and Samaritan Therapeutics have both assumed responsibility, at their own individual expense, for the process of seeking any regulatory approvals for and conducting clinical trials with respect to any licens ed product or application of the licensed technology. Samaritan controls and has the financial responsibility for the prosecution and maintenance in respect to any patent rights related to the licensed technology.

Pharmaplaz, LTD

Samaritan and Pharmaplaz, a private Irish Healthcare company and a shareholder of Samaritan, have an agreement (the "Pharmaplaz Agreement") to commercialize SP-01A. Under the terms of the agreement, Pharmaplaz is required to pay Samaritan $10 million upfront. To date, under the Pharmaplaz Agreement, Samaritan has received $2.15 million, with a balance of $7.85 million remaining.

Pharmaplaz will be responsible for clinical development, clinical trial costs and manufacturing. Upon successful commercialization, Samaritan and Pharmaplaz will co-market SP-01A and will share 50-50, in its revenue royalty stream. Samaritan is responsible for all patent expenses, including filing, prosecution, and enforcement expenses.

Pharmaplaz is a fully integrated pharmaceutical company located in Athlone, Ireland. Pharmaplaz develops patented pharmaceutical technologies and products, and has expertise in initial research, process development, clinical trials, regulatory submissions and product manufacturing. Pharmaplaz, in addition, offers facilities for the development of products and processes in life sciences, and can also provide additional support with government grant aid and regulatory affairs.

Shire Pharmaceuticals

On March 1, 2007, Samaritan executed a two-year exclusive licensing deal with Shire Pharmaceuticals for the marketing of Elaprase in Greece and Cyprus. The product shall be supplied on a named patient basis until the conclusion of the negotiations relating to the pricing and reimbursement of Elaprase in the territories with the relevant regulatory authorities.

Founded in 1986, Shire is a global specialty pharmaceutical company marketing products to defined customer groups (specialist doctors). Sales and marketing is a core Shire competence, where effective targeting of prescribers allows maximization of sales by a relatively small but high quality sales force.

Shire's strategic goal is to become the leading specialty pharmaceutical company that focuses on meeting the needs of the specialist physician. Shire focuses its business on attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), human genetic therapies (HGT), gastrointestinal (GI) and renal diseases. The structure is sufficiently flexible to allow Shire to target new therapeutic areas to the extent opportunities arise through acquisitions. Shire believes that a carefully selected portfolio of products with a strategically aligned and relatively small-scale sales force will deliver strong results. Shire's in-licensing, merger and acquisition efforts are focused on products in niche markets with strong intellectual property protection either in the US or Europe.

Three Rivers Pharmaceuticals(R)

On December 12, 2005, Samaritan signed a ten-year (with five-year automatic renewals) exclusive licensing agreement with Three Rivers Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for the marketing of Amphocil, a prescription drug in Greece; authorization is pending for Cyprus and Ireland.


Established in 2000, Three Rivers Pharmaceuticals(R) devotes its efforts and resources to developing, manufacturing, and marketing pharmaceutical therapies which are indicated for diseases/medical conditions requiring specialized treatment. Currently, Three Rivers Pharmaceuticals markets prescription drugs in both the U.S. and internationally, in the therapeutic categories of antiviral and antifungal agents.

Molteni Farmaceutici

On January 1, 2007, Samaritan executed a four-year (with two-year automatic renewals) exclusive licensing agreement with Molteni Farmaceutici for the marketing of Mepivamol, Methadone, Morphine Sulphate, Naloxone, Naltrexone, and Oramorph in Greece and Cyprus.

Molteni is rich in history with over a century of experience beginning with the opening of its manufacturing facility at the Molteni Pharmacy Laboratory located in the historic center of Florence, Italy. The strategic therapeutic areas on which Molteni makes an effort for trading new alliances are concentrated on Analgesia, Anesthesia and Drug Addition Therapy.

Siraeo, Ltd.

On December 28, 2006, Samaritan signed a ten-year (with three-year automatic renewals) exclusive licensing agreement with Siraeo, Ltd for the marketing of Infasurf in Turkey, Serbia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Albania, Egypt and Syria. Infasurf is an approved FDA prescription product owned by Ony, Inc. and marketed by Forest Laboratories in the US.

EUSA Pharma

On August 3, 2007, Samaritan signed an exclusive agreement with EUSA for the marketing and distribution of the product RAPYDAN(R) in Greece and Cyprus. Rapydan(R) is an approved FDA prescription product under the name SYNERA(R) and is owned by ZARS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and marketed by Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in the US.

On March 10, 2008, Samaritan signed an exclusive agreement with EUSA for the marketing and distribution of the products ERWINASE(R) and KIDROLASE(R) in Greece and Cyprus. Erwinase(R) and Kidrolase are approved FDA prescription products and are owned by EUSA Pharma and marketed by EUSA Pharma, in the U.S.

EUSA Pharma is a specialty pharma company with a strong and growing portfolio of specialty hospital medicines which has been built through the acquisition of Talisker Pharmaceuticals in July 2006 and OPI in March 2007. Its primary marketed products are Erwinase(R) Rapydan(R), Kidrolase(R), Fomepizole(R) and Xenazine(R). In addition, it has an active development pipeline including candidates in rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia and Lambert Eaton Syndrome.

Abiogen Pharma

Abiogen Pharma is a private Italian pharmaceutical company, founded in Pisa in 1997, involved in R&D, manufacturing and marketing. Abiogen has a prestigious R&D pipeline, has demonstrated significant skills in innovative compound development and is now broadening into the biotechnological field. Abiogen’s research on the osteo-articular metabolism led to the marketing of four bisphosphonates and established Abiogen Pharma as a unique world-wide company.

Patents, Licenses and Proprietary Rights

The products and product candidates currently being developed or considered for development by Samaritan are in the area of biotechnology, an area in which there are extensive patent filings. We rely on patent protection against use of our proprietary products and technologies by competitors. The patent positions of biotechnology firms generally are highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. To date, no consistent policy has emerged regarding the breadth of claims allowed in biotechnology patents. We currently own or in-license patents related to our products or product candidates and own or in-license additional applications for patents that are currently pending. In general, when we in-license intellectual property from various third parties, we are required to pay royalties to the parties on product sales.

Our marketed products, ABIOKLAD(R), AMPHOCIL(R), ELAPRASE(R), ERWINASE(R), INFASURF(R), KIDROLASE(R), MEPIVAMOL(R), METHADONE(R), MORPHINE SULPHATE(R), NALOXONE(R), NALTREXONE(R), ORAMORPH(R), PETHIDINE(R), RAPYDAN(R) and REPLAGAL(R) are covered by trademark and patents by their respective owners.

12


Trademark protection continues in some countries for as long as the mark is used and, in other countries, for as long as it is registered. Registrations generally are for fixed, but renewable, terms.

The protection of our unpatented confidential and proprietary information and materials is important to us. To protect our trade secrets, materials and other confidential information, we generally require our employees, consultants, scientific advisors, and parties to collaboration and licensing agreements to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of employment, the consulting relationship, or the collaboration or licensing arrangement with us. However, others could either develop independently the same or similar information or obtain access to our information.

Our trademarks for our marketed products are not included in the above list, since they are trademarked by our partners. On March 1, 2007, Samaritan announced that we had completed our acquisition of Metastatin Pharmaceuticals, a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development of cytostatic and anti-metastatic therapies for the management of cancer. As part of the acquisition of Metastatin, Samaritan acquired several patent rights which have been included in the table above.

Manufacturing

The Company has no commercial–scale manufacturing facilities for our products. For our products that we are developing, we plan to establish relationships with third-party suppliers to manufacture sufficient quantities of our product candidates to undertake clinical trials and to manufacture sufficient quantities of any products that are approved for commercial sale. If we are unable to contract for large-scale manufacturing with third parties on acceptable terms for our future products and are unable to develop manufacturing capabilities internally, our ability to conduct large-scale clinical trials and to meet customer demand for commercial products would be adversely affected. For our products that we have commercial sales for, we purchase the product from our respective partner.

Government Regulation

Our pharmaceutical products are subject to extensive government regulation in the United States. If we distribute our products abroad, these products will also be subject to extensive foreign government regulation. In the United States, the FDA regulates pharmaceutical products. FDA regulations govern the testing, manufacturing, advertising, promotion, labeling, sale and distribution of our products.

In general, the FDA approval process for drugs includes, without limitation:

• preclinical studies;

• submission of an Investigational New Drug Application, or IND, for clinical trials;

• adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials to establish the safety and efficacy of the product;

• submission of an NDA to obtain marketing approval;

• review of the NDA; and

• inspection of the facilities used in the manufacturing of the drug to assess compliance with the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations.

13


The NDA must include comprehensive and complete descriptions of the preclinical testing, clinical trials, and the chemical, manufacturing and control requirements of a drug that enable the FDA to determine the drug’s safety and efficacy. An NDA must be submitted by Samaritan, and filed and approved by the FDA before any of our drugs can be marketed commercially in the United States.

The FDA testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and money. We cannot assure that any approval will ever be granted.

Preclinical studies include laboratory evaluation of the product, as well as animal studies to assess the potential safety and effectiveness of the product. These studies must be performed according to good laboratory practices. The results of the preclinical studies, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted to the FDA as part of the IND.

Clinical trials may begin 30 days after the IND is received, unless the FDA raises concerns or questions about the conduct of the clinical trials. If concerns or questions are raised, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolve any outstanding concerns before clinical trials can proceed.

We cannot assure that submission of an IND will result in authorization to commence clinical trials. Nor can we assure that if clinical trials are approved, that data will result in marketing approval. Clinical trials involve the administration of the product that is the subject of the trial to volunteers or patients under the supervision of a qualified principal investigator. Each clinical trial must be reviewed and approved by an independent institutional review board at each institution at which the study will be conducted. The institutional review board will consider, among other things, ethical factors, safety of human subjects and the possible liability of the institution. Also, clinical trials must be performed according to good clinical practices. Good clinical practices are enumerated in FDA regulations and guidance documents.

Clinical trials typically are conducted in three sequential phases: Phases I, II and III, with Phase IV studies conducted after approval. Drugs for which Phase IV studies are required include those approved under accelerated approval regulations. The four phases may overlap. In Phase I clinical trials, the drug is usually tested on a small number of healthy volunteers to determine:

  • safety;

  • any adverse effects;

  • proper dosage;

  • absorption;

  • metabolism;

  • distribution;

  • excretion; and

  • other drug effects.

In Phase II clinical trials, the drug is usually tested on a limited number of subjects (generally up to several hundred subjects) to preliminarily evaluate the efficacy of the drug for specific, targeted indications, determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage, and identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.

In Phase III clinical trials, the drug is usually tested on a larger number of subjects (up to several thousand), in an expanded patient population and at multiple clinical sites. The FDA may require that we suspend clinical trials at any time on various grounds, including if the FDA makes a finding that the subjects are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk.

14


In Phase IV clinical trials or other post-approval commitments, additional studies and patient follow-up are conducted to gain experience from the treatment of patients in the intended therapeutic indication. Additional studies and follow-up are also conducted to document a clinical benefit where drugs are approved under accelerated approval regulations and based on surrogate endpoints. In clinical trials, surrogate endpoints are alternative measurements of the symptoms of a disease or condition that are substituted for measurements of observable clinical symptoms. Failure to promptly conduct Phase IV clinical trials and follow-up could result in expedited withdrawal of products approved under accelerated approval regulations.

The facilities, procedures, and operations of our contract manufacturers must be determined to be adequate by the FDA before product approval. Manufacturing facilities are subject to inspections by the FDA for compliance with cGMP, licensing specifications, and other FDA regulations before and after an NDA has been approved. Foreign manufacturing facilities are also subject to periodic FDA inspections or inspections by foreign regulatory authorities. Among other things, the FDA may withhold approval of NDAs or other product applications of a facility if deficiencies are found at the facility. Vendors that supply us finished products or components used to manufacture, package and label products are subject to similar regulation and periodic inspections.

Following such inspections, the FDA may issue notices on Form 483 and Warning Letters that could cause the Company to modify certain activities identified during the inspection. A Form 483 notice is generally issued at the conclusion of an FDA inspection and lists conditions the FDA investigators believe may violate cGMP or other FDA regulations. FDA guidelines specify that a Warning Letter be issued only for violations of “regulatory significance” for which the failure to adequately and promptly achieve correction may be expected to result in an enforcement action.

In addition, the FDA imposes a number of complex regulatory requirements on entities that advertise and promote pharmaceuticals, including, but not limited to, standards and regulations for direct-to-consumer advertising, off-label promotion, industry sponsored scientific and educational activities, and promotional activities involving the Internet.

Failure to comply with FDA and other governmental regulations can result in fines, unanticipated compliance expenditures, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production and/or distribution, suspension of the FDA’s review of NDAs, injunctions and criminal prosecution. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on us.

For marketing outside the United States, we also are subject to foreign regulatory requirements governing human clinical trials and marketing approval for pharmaceutical products. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product approval, pricing and reimbursement vary widely from country to country. Whether or not FDA approval has been obtained, approval of a product by the comparable regulatory authorities of foreign countries must be obtained before manufacturing or marketing the product in those countries. The approval process varies from country to country and the time required for such approvals may differ substantially from that required for FDA approval. We cannot assure you that clinical trials conducted in one country will be accepted by other countries or that approval in one country will result in approval in any other country. For clinical trials conducted outside the United States, the clinical stages are generally comparable to the phases of clinical development established by the FDA.

In the United States, physicians, hospitals and other healthcare providers that purchase pharmaceutical products generally rely on third-party payers, principally private health insurance plans, Medicare and, to a lesser extent, Medicaid, to reimburse all or part of the cost of the product and procedure for which the product is being used. Even if a product is approved for marketing by the FDA, there is no assurance that third-party payers will cover the cost of the product and related medical procedures. Although they are not required to do so, private health insurers often follow the Medicare program’s lead when determining whether or not to reimburse for a drug. To support our applications for reimbursement coverage with Medicare and other major third-party payers, we intend to use data from clinical trials. The lack of satisfactory reimbursement for our drug products would limit their widespread use and lower potential product revenues.

Reimbursement systems in international markets vary significantly by country and, within some countries, by region. Reimbursement approvals must be obtained on a country-by-country basis. In many foreign markets, including markets in which we anticipate selling our products, the pricing of prescription pharmaceuticals is subject to government pricing control. In these markets, once marketing approval is received, pricing negotiations could take another six to twelve months or longer. As in the United States, the lack of satisfactory reimbursement or inadequate government pricing of our products would limit their widespread use and lower potential product revenues.

15


Federal, state and local laws of general applicability, such as laws regulating working conditions, also govern us. In addition, we are subject to various federal, state and local environmental protection laws and regulations, including those governing the discharge of material into the environment. We do not expect the costs of complying with such environmental provisions to have a material effect on our earnings, cash requirements or competitive position in the foreseeable future.

Competition

The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are characterized by rapidly evolving technology and intense competition. Our competitors include pharmaceutical, chemical and biotechnology companies, many of which have financial, technical and marketing resources significantly greater than ours. In addition, many specialized biotechnology companies have formed collaborations with large, established companies to support research, development and commercialization of products that may be competitive with ours. Academic institutions, governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations are also conducting research activities and seeking patent protection and may commercialize products on their own or through collaboration arrangements.

We expect our products to compete primarily on the basis of product efficacy, safety, patient convenience, reliability and patent position. In addition, the first product to reach the market in a therapeutic or preventive area is often at a significant competitive advantage relative to later entrants to the market. Our competitive position will also depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified scientific and other personnel, develop effective proprietary products, implement product and marketing plans, obtain patent protection and secure adequate capital resources.

Employees

As of December 31, 2007, we have twenty (20) employees consistent of sixteen (16) full-time employees and four (4) part time employees. Of our employees, sixteen (16) are engaged in pharmaceutical, research, development or sales activities, two (2) are engaged in administration and finance, and two (2) are Information Technology employees. Additionally, Samaritan has eight (8) research professionals (including five (5) Ph.D. level research scientists) who work under the Research Collaboration with The Research Institute of McGill University Health Centre. Further, we make extensive use of another fifteen (15) consultants including Dr. Papadopoulos, our Key Scientific Consultant.

A significant number of our management and professional employees have had experience with pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical product companies. While we have been successful in attracting skilled and experienced scientific personnel, there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract or retain the necessary qualified employees and/or consultants in the future. None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements and we consider relations with our employees to be good.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR BUSINESS

We Have A Limited Operating History With Significant Losses And Expect Losses To Continue In The Near Future

We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. We have incurred annual operating losses of $3,025,998 and $7,572,746 during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively. As a result, at December 31, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of $44,335,140. To date, our revenues have not been sufficient to sustain our operations. Our profitability will require the successful commercialization of one or more drugs for our territories in Eastern Europe as well as the out-licensing of our internal development programs in Alzheimer's, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and infectious diseases. Currently, the Company has in-licensed fifteen (15) products to be marketed and distributed in our Eastern Europe territories. No assurances can be given when this will occur or when we will become profitable.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We Will Need Additional Capital In The Future, But Our Access To Such Capital Is Uncertain.

Our current resources are insufficient to fund all of our planned development and commercialization efforts. As of December 31, 2007, we have a working capital deficiency and we had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of approximately $287,571. On March 28, 2007, Samaritan and Pharmaplaz, a private Irish Healthcare company and a shareholder of Samaritan, signed an agreement (the "Pharmaplaz Agreement") to commercialize SP-01A. Under the terms of the agreement, Pharmaplaz is required to pay Samaritan $10 million upfront. To date, under the Pharmaplaz Agreement, the amount of funds received from Pharmaplaz is $2.15 million; $1.4 million and $750,000 were received during the first and fourth quarter of 2007 respectively. On May 15, 2007, the CEO of Pharmaplaz, Michael Macken, signed a personal guarantee and on May 21, 2007 a stock pledge agreement for 943,291 (split-adjusted) shares of Samaritan Pharmaceuticals to guar antee the balance of the $7.85 million. On May 15, 2007, the amount of shares pledged was worth $1,300,742. On December 31, 2007, the last reported market sale price of our Common Stock was $0.33 and the value of the stock pledge was $311,286. As a result of Pharmaplaz's failure to timely pay the remaining balance of 7.85 million, Pharmaplaz is not in compliance with the terms of the Pharmaplaz Agreement. Samaritan is currently working with Pharmaplaz to collect the past due remaining balance.

At our current level of expenditures and profits from our sales in Eastern Europe, we believe that our cash resources are not adequate to meet our requirements into 2009. Our capital needs will depend on many factors, including our research and development activities, the scope and timing of our clinical trial programs, the timing of regulatory approval for our products under development and the successful commercialization of our products. Our needs may also depend on the magnitude and scope of these activities, the progress and the level of success in our clinical trials, the costs of preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights, competing technological and market developments, changes in or terminations of collaboration and existing licensing arrangements, the establishment of new collaboration and licensing arrangements and the cost of manufacturing scale-up an d development of marketing activities, if undertaken by us. We do not have committed external sources of funding. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to:

  • delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our research and development programs;

  • obtain funds through arrangements with collaboration partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we would otherwise seek to retain in order to develop or commercialize them ourselves;

  • license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us than might otherwise be available; or

We intend to actively seek new financing from time to time to provide financial support for our activities. If we raise additional funds by issuing additional stock, further dilution to our stockholders may result, and new investors could have rights superior to existing stockholders. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we may be unable to develop or commercialize our products, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Has Issued An Unqualified Opinion With An Explanatory Paragraph, To The Effect That There Is Substantial Doubt About Our Ability To Continue As A Going Concern.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has issued an unqualified opinion with an explanatory paragraph, to the effect that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This unqualified opinion with an explanatory paragraph could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has generated minimal revenues and experienced an accumulated deficit of $44,335,140 through December 31, 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred net losses of $3,025,998 and $7,572,746, respectively and used cash flows from operations of $1,347,122 and $6,248,128, respectively. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in note 2. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.< /P>

We have no committed sources of capital and do not know whether additional financing will be available when needed on terms that are acceptable, if at all. Our current lack of resources is exacerbated by our inability to date to collect the remaining balance from Pharmaplaz. The addition of this going concern statement from our independent registered public accounting firm may discourage some investors from purchasing our Common Stock or providing alternative capital financing. The failure to satisfy our capital requirements will adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Unless we raise additional funds, either through the sale of equity securities or one or more collaborative arrangements, we will need to reduce our research and development and significantly reduce our workforce and our operating expenses. If we do not take these actions, we will not have sufficient funds to continue operations. Even if we take these actions, they may be insufficient, particularly if our costs are higher than projected or unforeseen expenses arise. Reducing our research and development or significantly reducing our workforce or operating expenses will adversely affect our business and prospects.

If We Do Not Receive And Maintain Regulatory Approvals For Our Products Or Product Candidates, We Will Not Be Able To Commercialize Our Products, Which Would Substantially Impair Our Ability To Generate Revenues And Materially Harm Our Business And Financial Condition.

Approval from the FDA is necessary to manufacture and market pharmaceutical products in the United States. The regulatory approval process is extensive, time-consuming and costly, and the FDA may not approve additional product candidates, or the timing of any such approval may not be appropriate for our product launch schedule and other business priorities, which are subject to change.

Clinical testing of pharmaceutical products is also a long, expensive and uncertain process. Even if initial results of preclinical studies or clinical trial results are positive, we may obtain different results in later stages of drug development, including failure to show desired safety and efficacy. The clinical trials of any of our product candidates could be unsuccessful, which would prevent us from obtaining regulatory approval and commercializing the product.

FDA approval of our products can be delayed, limited or not granted for many reasons, including, among others:

  • FDA officials may not find a product candidate safe or effective to merit an approval;

  • FDA officials may not find that the data from preclinical testing and clinical trials justifies approval, or they may require additional studies that would make it commercially unattractive to continue pursuit of approval;

  • the FDA might not approve the processes or facilities of our contract manufacturers or raw material suppliers or our manufacturing processes or facilities;

  • the FDA may change its approval policies or adopt new regulations; and

  • the FDA may approve a product candidate for indications that are narrow or under conditions that place our product at a competitive disadvantage, which may limit our sales and marketing activities or otherwise adversely impact the commercial potential of a product.

If the FDA does not approve our product candidates in a timely fashion on commercially viable terms or we terminate development of any of our product candidates due to difficulties or delays encountered in clinical testing and the regulatory approval process, it will have a material adverse impact on our business.

18


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If Our Products Do Not Gain Market Acceptance, Our Business Will Suffer Because We Might Not Be Able To Fund Future Operations.

A number of factors may affect the market acceptance of our products or any other products we develop or acquire, including, among others:

  • the price of our products relative to other therapies for the same or similar treatments;

  • the perception by patients, physicians and other members of the health;

  • care community of the safety and effectiveness of our products for their prescribed treatments;

  • the availability of satisfactory levels, or at all, of third party reimbursement for our products and related treatments;

  • our ability to fund our sales and marketing efforts; and

  • the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts.

In addition, our ability to market and promote our products is restricted to the labels approved by the FDA. If the approved labels are restrictive, our sales and marketing efforts and market acceptance and the commercial potential of our products may be negatively affected.

If our products do not gain market acceptance, we may not be able to fund future operations, including the development or acquisition of new product candidates and/or our sales and marketing efforts for our approved products, which would cause our business to suffer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If We Fail To Properly Manage Our Anticipated Growth, Our Business Could Suffer.

Rapid growth of our business is likely to place a significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources and systems. To manage our anticipated growth successfully, we must attract and retain qualified personnel and manage and train them effectively. We are dependent on our personnel and third parties to effectively manufacture, market, sell and distribute our products. We will also continue to depend on our personnel and third parties to successfully develop and acquire new products. Further, our anticipated growth will place additional strain on our suppliers and manufacturers, resulting in increased need for us to carefully manage these relationships and monitor for quality assurance. Although we may not grow as we expect, if we fail to manage our growth effectively or to develop and expand a successful commercial infrastructure to support marketing and sales of our products, our business and financial resul ts will be materially harmed. In addition, we have certain raw materials manufactured in foreign countries. We may also elect in the future to market certain of our products, and perhaps have certain of our products or certain additional raw materials manufactured, in foreign countries. Many other countries, including the countries where the Company currently markets products have similar requirements as the United States for the manufacture, marketing, and sale of pharmaceutical products.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company's License Agreements May Be Terminated In The Event Of A Breach

The license agreements pursuant to which the Company has licensed its core technologies for its potential drug products permit the licensors to terminate such agreements under certain circumstances, such as the failure by the licensee to use its reasonable best efforts to commercialize the subject drug or the occurrence of any uncured material breach by the licensee. The license agreements also provide that the licensor is primarily responsible for obtaining patent protection for the licensed technology, and the licensee is required to reimburse the licensor for costs it incurs in performing these activities. The license agreements also require the payment of specified royalties. Any inability or failure to observe these terms or pay these costs or royalties may result in the termination of the applicable license agreement in certain cases. The termination of any license agreement could force us to curtail our business operations . As of April 11, 2008, Samaritan Pharmaceuticals and Samaritan Therapeutics' payment to McGill University is in arrears, which may permit our collaborator to terminate the research and development agreement. The termination of any license agreement could force us to curtail our business operations. As of the April 11, 2008, Samaritan Pharmaceuticals and Samaritan Therapeutics’ payment to McGill University is in arrears, which may permit our collaborator to terminate the research and development agreement. Currently, all parties are in discussion to bring the balance in arrears current. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Protecting Our Proprietary Rights Is Difficult and Costly

The patent positions of pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. The license agreements also provide that the licensor is primarily responsible for obtaining patent protection for the licensed technology, and the licensee is required to reimburse the licensor for costs it incurs in performing these activities. Accordingly, we cannot predict the breadth of claims allowed in these companies' patents or whether the Company may infringe or be infringing on these claims. Patent disputes are common and could preclude the commercialization of our products. Patent litigation is costly in its own right and could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties. In addition, an adverse decision could force us to either obtain third-party licenses at a material cost or cease using the technology or product in dispute.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company's Success Will Be Dependent Upon The Licenses And Proprietary Rights It Receives From Other Parties, And On Any Patents It May Obtain

The Company and Samaritan Therapeutics Canada, have signed a Research Collaboration and Licensing Agreement with The Research Institute of McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) in Montreal, Canada, to advance its promising pipeline into clinical trial status and develop new innovative drug candidates. Once drug candidates, derived from the collaborative research, are clinically-validated and deemed to hold promise, Samaritan Therapeutics will continue to develop the drug candidate in Canada, while Samaritan Pharmaceuticals will focus on the drug candidate's process through regulatory agencies and its commercialization throughout the rest of the world.

Our success will depend in large part on the ability of the Company and its licensors to (a) maintain license and patent protection with respect to their drug products, (b) defend patents and licenses once obtained, (c) maintain trade secrets, (d) operate without infringing upon the patents and proprietary rights of others and (e) obtain appropriate licenses to patents or proprietary rights held by third parties if infringement should otherwise occur, both in the United States and in foreign countries. We have obtained licenses to patents and other proprietary rights from Georgetown University and George Washington University.

The patent positions of pharmaceutical companies, including those of the Company, are uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. There is no guarantee the Company or its licensors have or will develop or obtain the rights to products or processes that are patentable, that patents will issue from any of the pending applications or that claims allowed will be sufficient to protect the technology licensed to the Company. In addition, we cannot be certain that any patents issued to or licensed by the Company will not be challenged, invalidated, infringed or circumvented, or that the rights granted thereunder will provide competitive advantages to the Company.

Litigation, which could result in substantial cost, may also be necessary to enforce any patents to which the Company has rights, or to determine the scope, validity and unenforceability of other parties' proprietary rights, which may affect the rights of the Company. U.S. patents carry a presumption of validity and generally can be invalidated only through clear and convincing evidence. There can be no assurance that our licensed patents would be held valid by a court or administrative body or an alleged infringer would be found to be infringing. The mere uncertainty resulting from the institution and continuation of any technology-related litigation or interference proceeding could have an adverse material effect on the Company pending resolution of the disputed matters.

We may also rely on unpatented trade secrets and expertise to maintain a competitive position, which we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants and others. There can be no assurance these agreements will not be breached or terminated, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach or that trade secrets will not otherwise become known or be independently discovered by competitors.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We Are Faced With Intense Competition And Industry Changes, Which May Make It More Difficult For Us To Achieve Significant Market Penetration.

20


The pharmaceutical and biotech industry generally is characterized by rapid technological change, changing customer needs, and frequent new product introductions. If our competitors' existing products or new products are more effective than or considered superior to our products, the commercial opportunity for our products will be reduced or eliminated. We face intense competition from companies in our marketplace as well as companies offering other treatment options. Many of our potential competitors are significantly larger than we are and have greater financial, technical, research, marketing, sales, distribution and other resources than we do. We believe there will be intense price competition for products developed in our markets. Our competitors may develop or market technologies and products that are more effective or commercially attractive than any that we are developing or marketing. Our competitors may obtain regulator y approval, and introduce and commercialize products before we do. These developments could force us to curtail or cease our business operations. Even if we are able to compete successfully, we may not be able to do so in a profitable manner.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If We Are Unable To Continue Product Development, Our Business Will Suffer

Our growth depends in part on a continued ability to successfully develop our products. We may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development and commercialization of these products. Our products in development may not prove safe and effective in clinical trials. Clinical trials may identify significant technical or other obstacles that must be overcome before obtaining necessary regulatory or reimbursement approvals. In addition, our competitors may succeed in developing commercially viable products that render our products obsolete or less attractive. Failure to successfully develop and commercialize new products and enhancements would likely have a significant negative effect on our financial prospects.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There Is No Assurance That Our Products Will Have Market Acceptance

The success of the Company will depend in substantial part on the extent to which a drug product, once approved, achieves market acceptance. The degree of market acceptance will depend upon a number of factors, including (a) the receipt and scope of regulatory approvals, (b) the establishment and demonstration in the medical community of the safety and efficacy of a drug product, (c) the product's potential advantages over existing treatment methods and (d) reimbursement policies of government and third party payers. We cannot predict or guarantee physicians, patients, healthcare insurers, maintenance organizations, or the medical community in general, will accept or utilize any drug product of the Company. If our products do not develop market acceptance, we will be forced to curtail or cease our business operations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There Is Uncertainty Relating To Third-Party Reimbursement, Which Is Critical To Market Acceptance Of Our Products.

International market acceptance of our products may depend, in part, upon the availability of reimbursement within prevailing health care payment systems. Reimbursement and health care payment systems in international markets vary significantly by country, and include both government sponsored health care and private insurance. We may not obtain international reimbursement approvals in a timely manner, if at all. Our failure to receive international reimbursement approvals may negatively impact market acceptance of our products in the international markets in which those approvals are sought and could force us to curtail or cease our business operations.

From time to time significant attention has been focused on reforming the health care system in the United States and other countries. Any changes in Medicare, Medicaid or third-party medical expense reimbursement, which may arise from health care reform, may have a material adverse effect on reimbursement for our products or procedures in which our products are used and may reduce the price we are able to charge for our products. In addition, changes to the health care system may also affect the commercial acceptance of products we are currently developing and products we may develop in the future.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

21


If We Are Unable To Protect Our Intellectual Property, We May Not Be Able To Operate Our Business Profitably

Our success will depend to a significant degree on our ability to secure and protect intellectual property rights and to enforce patent and trademark protections relating to our technology which we license. From time to time, litigation may be advisable to protect our intellectual property position. However, these legal means afford only limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights or permit us to gain or keep any competitive advantage. Any litigation in this regard could be costly, and it is possible that we will not have sufficient resources to fully pursue litigation or to protect our intellectual property rights. It could result in the rejection or invalidation of our existing and future patents. Any adverse outcome in litigation relating to the validity of our patents, or any failure to pursue litigation or otherwise to protect our patent position, could force us to curtail or cease our business operations. A lso, even if we prevail in litigation, the litigation would be costly in terms of management distraction as well as in terms of money. In addition, confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, customers, and key vendors may not prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of our intellectual property. It is possible that these agreements could be breached or that they might not be enforceable in every instance, and that we might not have adequate remedies for any such breach. Enforcement of these agreements may be costly and time consuming. Furthermore, the laws of foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If We Are Unable To Operate Our Business Without Infringing Upon The Intellectual Property Rights Of Others, We May Not Be Able To Operate Our Business Profitably.

Our success depends on our ability to operate without infringing upon the proprietary rights of others. We endeavor to follow developments in our field, and we do believe that we have freedom to operate with respect to our core technologies. To the extent that planned or potential products would infringe patents or other intellectual property rights held by third parties, we would need licenses under such patents or other intellectual property rights to continue development and marketing of our products protected by those third party patents or other intellectual property rights. Any required licenses may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If we do not obtain such licenses, we may need to design around other parties’ patents or we may not be able to proceed with the development, manufacture or sale of our products.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If We Become Subject To Product Liability Claims, We May Be Required To Pay Damages That Exceed Our Insurance Coverage.

Our business exposes us to potential product liability claims that are inherent in the testing, production, marketing and sale of pharmaceuticals products. While we maintain a commercial general liability policy for $2 million, we may not be able to maintain insurance in amounts or scope sufficient to provide us with adequate coverage. A claim in excess of our insurance coverage would have to be paid out of cash reserves, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and force us to curtail or cease our business operations. In addition, any product liability claim likely would harm our reputation in the industry and our ability to develop and market products in the future.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Insurance Coverage Is Increasingly More Difficult To Obtain or Maintain

Obtaining insurance for our business, property and products is increasingly more costly and narrower in scope, and we may be required to assume more risk in the future. If we are subject to third party claims or suffer a loss or damage in excess of our insurance coverage, we may be required to bear that risk in excess of our insurance limits. Furthermore, any first-or-third-party claims made on any of our insurance policies may impact our ability to obtain or maintain insurance coverage at reasonable costs or at all in the future.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

22


Our Success Will Depend On Our Ability To Attract And Retain Key Personnel

In order to execute our business plan, we need to attract, retain and motivate a significant number of highly qualified managerial, technical, financial and sales personnel. If we fail to attract and retain skilled scientific and marketing personnel, our research and development and sales and marketing efforts will be hindered. Our future success depends to a significant degree upon the continued services of key management personnel, including Dr. Janet Greeson, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Dr. Vassilios Papadopoulos, Chief Scientist of the Science of Technology Advisory Committee and our key consultant. We do not maintain key man insurance on either of these individuals. The loss of their services could delay our product development programs and our research and development efforts at the Research Centre of McGill University. In addition, the loss of Dr. Greeson is grounds fo r our Research Collaboration with the Research Centre of McGill University Health Centre to terminate. In addition, competition for qualified employees among companies in the biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industry is intense and we cannot be assured that we would be able to recruit qualified personnel on commercially acceptable terms, or at all, to replace them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We Are Dependent On Third Parties For A Significant Portion Of Our Bulk Supply And The Formulation, Fill And Finish Of Our Product Candidates.

We currently produce a substantial portion of clinical product candidates' supply at our collaborative partner's Ireland manufacturing facility. However, we also depend on third parties for a significant portion of our product candidates' bulk supply as well as for some of the formulation, fill and finish of product candidates that we manufacture. Pharmaplaz is our third-party contract manufacturer of product candidates' bulk drug; accordingly, our clinical supply of product candidates is currently significantly dependent on Pharmaplaz's production schedule for product candidates. We would be unable to produce product candidates in sufficient quantities to substantially offset shortages in Pharmaplaz's scheduled production if Pharmaplaz or other third-party contract manufacturers used for the formulation, fill and finish of product candidates bulk drug were to cease or interrupt production or services or otherwise fail to supply materials, products or services to us for any reason, including due to labor shortages or disputes, regulatory requirements or action or contamination of product lots or product recalls. We cannot guarantee that an alternative third-party contract manufacturer would be available on a timely basis or at all. This in turn could materially reduce our ability to satisfy demand for product candidates, which could materially and adversely affect our operating results.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our Corporate Compliance Program Cannot Guarantee That We Are In Compliance With All Potentially Applicable U.S. Federal And State Regulations And All Potentially Applicable Foreign Regulations.

The development, manufacturing, distribution, pricing, sales, marketing and reimbursement of our products, together with our general operations, is subject to extensive federal and state regulation in the United States and to extensive regulation in foreign countries. While we have developed and instituted a corporate compliance program based on what we believe to be current best practices, we cannot assure you that we or our employees are or will be in compliance with all potentially applicable U.S. federal and state regulations and/or laws or all potentially applicable foreign regulations and/or laws. If we fail to comply with any of these regulations and/or laws a range of actions could result, including, but not limited to, the termination of clinical trials, the failure to approve a product candidate, restrictions on our products or manufacturing processes, including withdrawal of our products from the market, significant fi nes, exclusion from government healthcare programs or other sanctions or litigation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK

Our Stock Is Currently Listed On The OTC Bulletin Board Which Limits The Trading Of Our Stock

23


Our Common Stock currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board which is generally considered to be a less efficient market than markets such as NASDAQ or other national exchanges, and which may cause difficulty in obtaining future financing. Broker-dealers who sell stock on the OTC market must provide purchasers of these stocks with a standardized risk-disclosure document prepared by the SEC. This document provides information about our Common Stock and the nature and level of risks involved in investing in the OTC market. A broker must also give a purchaser, orally or in writing, bid and offer quotations and information regarding broker and salesperson compensation, make a written determination that our Common Stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and obtain the purchaser's written agreement to the purchase. Broker-dealers must also provide customers that hold OTC stock in their accounts with such broker-dealer a monthl y statement containing price and market information relating to the OTC stock. If an OTC stock is sold in violation of the OTC stock rules, purchasers may be able to cancel their purchase and get their money back. If applicable, the OTC stock rules may make it difficult for investors to sell their shares of our Common Stock. Because of the rules and restrictions applicable to an OTC market stock, there is less trading in OTC stocks and the market price of our Common Stock may be adversely affected. Also, many brokers choose not to participate in OTC stock transactions. Accordingly, purchasers may not always be able to resell shares of our Common Stock publicly at times and prices that they feel are appropriate.

A Sale Of A Substantial Number Of Shares Of Our Common Stock May Cause The Price Of Our Common Stock To Decline.

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, the market price of our Common Stock could fall. These sales also may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. Several of our shareholders hold restricted common stock that may be eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. Sales of our Common Stock by certain present stockholders under Rule 144 may, in the future, have a depressive effect on the market price of our securities. In addition, the sale of shares by officers and directors and other affiliated shareholders may also have a depressive effect on the market for our securities.

Because We Do Not Intend To Pay Dividends, You Will Benefit From An Investment In Our Common Stock Only If It Appreciates In Value.

We have paid no cash dividends on any of our Common Stock to date, and we currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The success of your investment in our Common Stock will likely depend entirely upon any future appreciation. There is no guarantee that our Common Stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which you purchased your shares.

The Market Price Of Our Common Stock Is Highly Volatile.

The market price of our Common Stock has been and is expected to continue to be highly volatile. Various factors, including announcements of technological innovations by us or other companies, regulatory matters, new or existing products or procedures, concerns about our financial position, operating results, litigation, government regulation, developments or disputes relating to agreements, patents or proprietary rights may have a significant impact on the market price of our Common Stock. If our operating results are below the expectations of securities analysts or investors, the market price of our Common Stock may fall abruptly and significantly.

Future sales of our Common Stock, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants or hedging or other derivative transactions with respect to our Common Stock, could have a significant negative effect on the market price of our Common Stock. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we would deem appropriate.

We may enter into registration rights agreements in connection with certain financings pursuant to which we agreed to register for resale by the investors the shares of Common Stock issued. Sales of these shares could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our shares of Common Stock.

Under Provisions Of The Company's Articles Of Incorporation, Bylaws And Nevada Law, The Company's Management May Be Able To Block Or Impede A Change In Control

The issuance of blank check preferred stock, where the Board of Directors can designate rights or preferences, may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or may discourage a third party from acquiring, a majority of our voting stock. These and other provisions in our Articles of Incorporation (restated as last amended June 10, 2005) and in our Bylaws (restated as last amended March 20, 2008), as well as certain provisions of Nevada law, could delay or impede the removal of incumbent directors and could make it more difficult to effect a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving a change of control of the Company, even if such events could be beneficial to the interest of the shareholders as a whole. Such provisions could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for our Common Stock.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Officers and Directors Liabilities Are Limited Under Nevada Law

Pursuant to the Company's Articles of Incorporation (restated as last amended June 10, 2005) and Bylaws (restated as last amended March 20, 2008), and as authorized under applicable Nevada law, Directors are not liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except in connection with a breach of the duty of loyalty for (a) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (b) for dividend payments or stock repurchases illegal under applicable Nevada law or (c) any transaction in which a Director has derived an improper personal benefit. The Company's Articles of Incorporation (restated as last amended June 10, 2005) and Bylaws (restated as last amended March 20, 2008) provide that the Company must indemnify its officers and Directors to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Nevada law for all expenses incurred in the settlement of any actions against such pe rsons in connection with their having served as officers or Directors.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

In addition, pursuant to a research collaboration, the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre provides office and laboratory space at the Samaritan Research Laboratories.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. While it is impossible to predict accurately or to determine the eventual outcome of these matters, the Company believes the outcome of these proceedings will not have an adverse material effect on the financial statements of the Company. Other than routine litigation incidental to our business, there are no legal proceedings or actions pending at this time.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

Dividends

We have not paid any dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the near future. We intend to retain any earnings to finance the growth of the business. We make no assurances we will ever pay cash dividends. Whether we pay any cash dividends in the future will depend on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and other factors the Board of Directors will consider.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

The following discussion sets forth securities sold by the Company in the last three (3) fiscal years. These securities were shares of Common Stock of the Company. They were sold for cash and, unless otherwise noted, sold in private transactions to persons believed to be of a class of accredited investors not affiliated with the Company unless otherwise noted and purchasing the shares with investment intent, and the Company relied upon, among other possible exemptions, Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company's reliance on said exemption was based upon the fact no public solicitation was used by the Company in the offer or sale, and the securities were legend shares, along with a notation at the respective transfer agent, restricting the shares from sale or transfer as is customary with reference to Rule 144 of the SEC.

During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, the Company exchanged 4,334,353 shares of Common Stock for $3,612,258, which includes $231,500 that was actually received during 2006 and recorded as common stock to be issued at 12/31/2006. The Company had no exercise of stock options during the year.

During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, the Company exchanged 7,212,500 shares of Common Stock for $2,045,000. The Company also issued 450,926 shares upon the exercise of stock options and the receipt of $64,500.

During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005, the Company issued an aggregate of 398,900 shares of Common Stock in consideration of services rendered or to be rendered to the Company. Such shares were valued at an aggregate of $197,184 ranging from $0.41 - $0.72 per share, representing the fair value of the shares issued. The issuances were recorded as non-cash compensation expense and deferred compensation. The unamortized balance of deferred compensation at December 31, 2005 was $40,034.

Issuer Purchase of Equity Securities

We did not make any purchases of our common stock during the three months ended December 31, 2007, which is the fourth quarter of our fiscal year.

Holders

As of April 3, 2008, there were approximately 928 holders of record of our Common Stock. This number was determined from records maintained by our transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of our securities whose securities are held in the names of various dealers and/or clearing agencies.

Sales and Marketing

We in-license products that focus on targeting healthcare providers, managed healthcare organizations, specialty distribution companies, government purchasers, and payers.

Product Candidates

A significant portion of our operating expenses are related to the research and development of investigational-stage product candidates. Research and development expenses were $1,733,194 in 2007, $4,667,053 in 2006, and $3,456,301 in 2005.

We currently focus our research and development efforts in the therapeutic areas of Alzheimer's, cancer, cardiovascular and infectious diseases. Any of our programs in these disease areas could become more significant to us in the future, but there can be no assurance that any program in development or investigation will generate viable marketable products. As such, we continually evaluate all product candidates and may, from time to time, discontinue the development of any given program and focus our attention and resources elsewhere. We may choose to address new opportunities for future growth in a number of ways including, but not limited to, internal discovery and development of new products, out licensing and in-licensing of products and technologies, and/or acquisition of companies with products and/or technologies. Any of these activities may require substantial research and development efforts and expenditure of significa nt amounts of capital. The following summarizes our current product candidate programs with relevant out-licensing deals that the Company has completed.

Alzheimer's disease

SP-233

Caprospinol (SP-233) is a novel Alzheimer's drug candidate that Samaritan believes has the potential to clear beta-amyloid plaque from the brain; a problem that most researchers today believe is the cause of Alzheimer's. Samaritan filed an IND application for Caprospinol on October 30, 2006 and was subsequently granted an IND number by the FDA. The Company believes that Caprospinol could be a significant breakthrough in the treatment of Alzheimer's, and plans to provide the information requested by the FDA in order to continue moving our Caprospinol development program forward.

On December 7, 2006, Samaritan announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has completed its regulatory review of our IND (Investigational New Drug) application for Caprospinol and has requested that additional information be submitted in support of the safety of Caprospinol, prior to initiating Samaritan's proposed Phase I clinical study. Samaritan is currently performing additional studies to submit and support the IND submitted to the FDA.

Cardiovascular

SP-1000

SP-1000 is a fast-acting peptide that can be used to clean the blood of excessive cholesterol in acute high cholesterol conditions. SP-1000 plays a role in transformation and binding of LDL cholesterol and raising HDL, the good cholesterol, with immediate results.

To this end, Samaritan's collaborating scientists developed SP-1000 to be a potential hypocholesterolemic agent that acts through a new and novel mechanism of action that is quite distinct to the mechanism of action mediating the effects of statins.

The effectiveness of SP-1000 peptide treatment has been demonstrated in two validated hypercholesterolemia animal models, a genetically engineered mouse model mimicking familial hypercholesterolemia, and in diet-induced hypercholesterolemia guinea pigs.

Based on the study results, Samaritan collaborative scientists believe that the SP-1000 peptide could have the following pharmacological activities:

33


o     

SP-1000 peptide will not interfere with cholesterol metabolism and disposition

o     

SP-1000 peptide will increase HDL while decreasing serum free cholesterol and total bile cholesterol

o     

SP-1000 peptide will be effective in removing atheromas and preventing plaque formation

o     

SP-1000 peptide will protect against high cholesterol-induced neurological, cardiac and muscular suffering, and gross liver morphology

Taken together, these data on classic animal models of familial and dietary hypercholesterolemia show that SP-1000 is an interesting new and novel lipid lowering drug with a strong patent position that represents a competitive advantage over currently available therapeutic options

Infectious Diseases

SP-01A

SP-01A is an HIV oral entry inhibitor drug. In order for viruses to reproduce, they must infect or hi-jack a cell, and use it to make new viruses. Just as your body is constantly making new skin cells, or new blood cells, each cell often makes new proteins in order to stay alive and to reproduce itself. Viruses hide their own DNA in the DNA of the cell, and then, when the cell tries to make new proteins, it accidentally makes new viruses as well. HIV mostly infects cells in the immune system.

Clinical studies to date suggest that SP-01A prevents HIV from entering cells by inhibiting HIV-1 viral replication through a novel mechanism that is unique to any antiviral drug SP-01A reduces intracellular cholesterol and corticosteroid biosynthesis, which causes the inability of lipid rafts in the cellular membrane to organize, ultimately preventing fusion of an HIV receptor and both the CCR5 and CXCR4 cellular receptors.

On March 28, 2007, Samaritan and Pharmaplaz, a private Irish Healthcare company and a shareholder of Samaritan, signed an agreement (the "Pharmaplaz Agreement") to commercialize SP-01A. Under the terms of the agreement, Pharmaplaz is required to pay Samaritan $10 million upfront. To date, under the Pharmaplaz Agreement, the amount of funds received from Pharmaplaz is $2.15 million; $1.4 million and $750,000 were received during the first and fourth quarter of 2007 respectively. On May 15, 2007, the CEO of Pharmaplaz, Michael Macken, signed a personal guarantee and on May 21, 2007 a stock pledge agreement for 943,291 (split-adjusted) shares of Samaritan Pharmaceuticals to guarantee the balance of the $7.85 million. On May 15, 2007, the amount of shares pledged was worth $1,300,742. On December 31, 2007, the last reported market sale price of our Common Stock was $0.33 and the value of the stock pledge was $311,286. As a result of Pharmaplaz's failure to timely pay the remaining balance of 7.85 million, Pharmaplaz is not in compliance with the terms of the Pharmaplaz Agreement. Samaritan is currently working with Pharmaplaz to collect the past due remaining balance.

Pharmaplaz, a shareholder, will pay for and be responsible for future research and development to bring the technology to market. Samaritan has no remaining obligations or performance for future research and development. The $10,000,000 payment is non-refundable. Upon request, Samaritan might occasionally advise Pharmaplaz regarding SP-01A, in relationship to Principal Investigators with applications for NIH grants, or other grant applications to advance SP-01A, at Pharmaplaz's cost. Samaritan and Pharmaplaz will split 50/50 of all revenues stemming from SP-01A.

SP-30

SP-30 has demonstrated promise in preclinical studies as an antiviral therapeutic in the treatment of Hepatitis C (HCV) as well as a therapeutic adjuvant in the treatment of HIV. SP-30 offers several distinctive competitive advantages as a potential oral adjuvant therapeutic in the treatment of HCV infected individuals. SP-30 is uniquely different from other inhibitors of viral replication in that it appears to condition the cell. This unique multiple target mechanism of action provides several advantages.

1.     

In HCV infected individuals, SP-30 uses its unique mechanism to build a fence around the cell and prevent viral entry. Consequently, HCV is unable to replicate or mutate and is eventually eradicated by the immune system.

2.     

Because SP-30's targets belong to the host cell and not to the virus itself, SP-30 may not be susceptible to the development of resistance.

3.     

SP-30 does not appear to be contraindicated with any other currently approved ARV or HCV treatments.

34


Therefore, based on its favorable in-vitro inhibition data, Samaritan is developing a Phase I clinical study protocol for SP-30 as a potential oral adjuvant therapeutic in the treatment of HCV infected individuals.

Endocrinology

SP-6300

SP-6300 is a new and novel approach for the treatment of Cushing's syndrome, also known as exogenous hypercortisolism. Cushing's syndrome affects adults 20 to 50 with an estimated 10 to 15 of every million people affected each year. Hypercortisolism occurs when the body's tissues are exposed to excessive levels of cortisol for long periods of time.

Many people suffer the symptoms of exogenous hypercortisolism because they take glucocorticoid hormones such as prednisone, dexamethasone (Decadron) and methylprednisolone (Medrol), for asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and other inflammatory diseases or for immunosuppression after transplantation. People can also develop exogenous hypercortisolism from injectable corticosteroids – for example, repeated injections for joint pain, bursitis and back pain.

On September 18, 2007, Samaritan announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has completed its regulatory review of our IND (Investigational New Drug) application for SP-6300.

Non Drug Products

Alzheimer's Diagnostic Blood Test

Our Alzheimer's diagnostic is a simple blood test which can be used as an alternative or supplement to spinal taps or expensive MRIs currently used by competitors.

Breast Cancer Diagnostic

Our non-invasive blood test could be the first diagnostic tool to predict if a breast tumor is cancerous, with the added possibility to detect one single aggressive cancer cell out of a million blood cells. This tool could also be used as a monitoring tool to measure the success of chemotherapy, radiation and other drug treatments for aggressive cancer and ultimately allow patients to avoid the high costs and negative effects of unnecessary chemotherapy.

Alzheimer's Rat Model Tool to Test New Drugs

We have developed an animal model that mimics the human phenotype of Alzheimer's disease pathology. We believe this Alzheimer's Rat Model will likely provide pharmaceutical companies the means to rapidly screen and develop therapeutics to control Alzheimer's disease.

The product shall be supplied on a named patient basis until the conclusion of the negotiations relating to the pricing and reimbursement of Elaprase in the territories with the relevant regulatory authorities.

Founded in 1986, Shire is a global specialty pharmaceutical company marketing products to defined customer groups (specialist doctors). Sales and marketing is a core Shire competence, where effective targeting of prescribers allows maximization of sales by a relatively small but high quality sales force.

Shire's strategic goal is to become the leading specialty pharmaceutical company that focuses on meeting the needs of the specialist physician. Shire focuses its business on attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), human genetic therapies (HGT), gastrointestinal (GI) and renal diseases. The structure is sufficiently flexible to allow Shire to target new therapeutic areas to the extent opportunities arise through acquisitions. Shire believes that a carefully selected portfolio of products with a strategically aligned and relatively small-scale sales force will deliver strong results. Shire's in-licensing, merger and acquisition efforts are focused on products in niche markets with strong intellectual property protection either in the US or Europe.

Three Rivers Pharmaceuticals(R)

On December 12, 2005, Samaritan signed a ten-year (with five-year automatic renewals) exclusive licensing agreement with Three Rivers Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for the marketing of Amphocil, a prescription drug in Greece; authorization is pending for Cyprus and Ireland.

Established in 2000, Three Rivers Pharmaceuticals(R) devotes its efforts and resources to developing, manufacturing, and marketing pharmaceutical therapies which are indicated for diseases/medical conditions requiring specialized treatment. Currently, Three Rivers Pharmaceuticals markets prescription drugs in both the U.S. and internationally, in the therapeutic categories of antiviral and antifungal agents.

Three Rivers has continued to expand its product line into the branded market with the acquisition of AMPHOTEC/AMPHOCIL(R) in May of 2005. This product is currently being marketed in over 40 countries worldwide.

Infasurf is an approved FDA prescription product owned by Ony, Inc. and marketed by Forest Laboratories in the US.

EUSA Pharma

On August 3, 2007, Samaritan signed an exclusive agreement with EUSA for the marketing and distribution of the product RAPYDAN(R) in Greece and Cyprus. Rapydan(R) is an approved FDA prescription product under the name SYNERA(R) and is owned by ZARS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and marketed by Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in the US.

On March 10, 2008, Samaritan signed an exclusive agreement with EUSA for the marketing and distribution of the products ERWINASE(R) and KIDROLASE(R) in Greece and Cyprus. Erwinase(R) and Kidrolase are approved FDA prescription products and are owned by EUSA Pharma and marketed by EUSA Pharma, in the U.S.

EUSA Pharma is a specialty pharma company with a strong and growing portfolio of specialty hospital medicines which has been built through the acquisition of Talisker Pharmaceuticals in July 2006 and OPI in March 2007. Its primary marketed products are Erwinase(R) Rapydan(R), Kidrolase(R), Fomepizole(R) and Xenazine(R). In addition, it has an active development pipeline including candidates in rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia and Lambert Eaton Syndrome.

Abiogen Pharma

Abiogen Pharma is a private Italian pharmaceutical company, founded in Pisa in 1997, involved in R&D, manufacturing and marketing. Abiogen has a prestigious R&D pipeline, has demonstrated significant skills in innovative compound development and is now broadening into the biotechnological field.

Plan and Results of Operations

We have used the proceeds from private placements of our Common Stock, primarily to expand our preclinical and clinical efforts, as well as for general working capital. At this time, we are beginning to commit additional resources to the development of SP-233, as well as for the development of our other drugs.

On July 5, 2007, the Company's Board of Directors affected a one-for-six reverse stock split of its common stock. The financial statements presented herein have been restated to reflect the reverse stock split as if it had occurred at the beginning of each period presented. All share and per share information included in these consolidated financial statements has been adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.

The net loss since our inception on September 5, 1994 through December 31, 2007 was $44,335,140. We expect losses to continue for the near future, and such losses will likely increase as human clinical trials are undertaken in the United States. Future profitability will be dependent upon our ability to complete the development of our pharmaceutical products, obtain necessary regulatory approvals and effectively market such products. In addition, future profitability will require the Company to establish agreements with other parties for clinical testing, manufacturing, commercialization, and sale of our products.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table sets forth our consolidated net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for each of the years in the three-year period ending December 31, 2007:

        2007        2006        2005 
 
Cash provided by (used in):                         
Operating activities    $     (1,347,122)    $   (6,248,128)    $   (4,635,947) 
Investing activities    $   (456,130)    $   44,223    $   972,460 
Financing activities    $   1,348,748    $   6,489,517    $   1,681,500 

As of December 31, 2007, the Company's cash position was $287,571. We are continuing efforts to raise additional capital and to execute our research and development plans. Even if we are successful in raising sufficient money to carry out these plans, additional clinical development is necessary to bring our products to market, which will require a significant amount of additional capital.

On March 28, 2007, Samaritan and Pharmaplaz, a private Irish Healthcare company and a shareholder of Samaritan, signed an agreement (the "Pharmaplaz Agreement") to commercialize SP-01A. Under the terms of the agreement, Pharmaplaz is required to pay Samaritan $10 million upfront. To date, under the Pharmaplaz Agreement, the amount of funds received from Pharmaplaz is $2.15 million; $1.4 million and $750,000 were received during the first and fourth quarter of 2007 respectively. On May 15, 2007, the CEO of Pharmaplaz, Michael Macken, signed a personal guarantee and on May 21, 2007 a stock pledge agreement for 943,291 (split-adjusted) shares of Samaritan Pharmaceuticals to guarantee the balance of the $7.85 million. On May 15, 2007, the amount of shares pledged was worth $1,300,742. On December 31, 2007, the last reported market sale price of our Common Stock was $0.33 and the value of the stock pledge was $311,286. As a result of Pharmaplaz's failure to timely pay the remaining balance of 7.85 million, Pharmaplaz is not in compliance with the terms of the Pharmaplaz Agreement. Samaritan is currently working with Pharmaplaz to collect the past due remaining balance.

Pharmaplaz, a shareholder, will pay for and be responsible for future research and development to bring the technology to market. Samaritan has no remaining obligations or performance for future research and development. The $10,000,000 payment is non-refundable. Upon request, Samaritan might occasionally advise Pharmaplaz regarding SP-01A, in relationship to Principal Investigators with applications for NIH grants, or other grant applications to advance SP-01A, at Pharmaplaz's cost. Samaritan and Pharmaplaz will split 50/50 of all revenues stemming from SP-01A.

Cash used in investing activities was $(456,130) for the twelve (12) month period ending December 31, 2007, as compared to $44,223 for the twelve (12) month period ending December 31, 2006. Activity from 2006 reflects proceeds from the liquidation of certificates of deposit offset by investing activity such as the purchase of equipment and patent registration costs. Activity from 2007 reflects the continuing investment in patent registration costs. There were no CDs liquidated during 2007.

Cash provided by financing activities was $1,348,748 for the twelve (12) month period ending December 31, 2007, as compared to was $6,489,517 for the twelve (12) month period ending December 31, 2006, a decrease of $5,140,769 seventy-nine percent (79%). During 2006, the Company drew frequently from its equity financing source totaling approximately $4.2 million in such proceeds. During 2007, the Company drew $480 thousand. Additionally, cash raised from private placements declined from approximately $2.2 million during 2006 to approximately $570 thousand during 2007.

Cash used in operating activities during the twelve month (12) period ending December 31, 2007 was $(1,3477,122), as compared to $(6,248,128)for the twelve (12) month period ending December 31, 2006. This decrease is primarily attributable to the inception of licensing and product revenue as represented by receivables and a reduction in research activity.

Current assets as of December 31, 2007 were $2,232,040 as compared to $1,073,921 as of December 31, 2006. This increase of $1,158,119, or one hundred-eight percent (108%), is primarily attributable to recording receivables from both the licensing agreement with Pharmaplaz and the overseas product sales. Current liabilities as of December 31, 2007 were $2,526,211 as compared to $1,519,565 as of December 31, 2006, an increase of $1,006,646 or sixty-six percent (66%). Such increase is the result of product costs relating to the overseas product sales, officer compensation, and a loan from a shareholder.

38


We will continue to have significant general and administrative expenses, including expenses related to clinical studies, our research collaboration with universities and patent registration costs. We will require substantial additional funds to sustain our operations and to grow our business. The amount will depend, among other things, on (a) the rate of progress and cost of our research and product development programs and clinical trial activities; (b) the cost of preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights; and (c) the cost of developing manufacturing and marketing capabilities, if we decide to undertake those activities. The clinical development of a therapeutic product is a very expensive and lengthy process which may be expected to utilize $5 to $20 million over a three (3) to six (6) year development cycle. We will also need to obtain additional funds to d evelop our therapeutic products and our future access to capital is uncertain. The allocation of limited resources is an ongoing issue for us as we move from research activities into the more costly clinical investigations required to bring therapeutic products to market. We also expect to generate revenues from our marketed products in the near future, and our business model has changed from a development model to a licensing and development model. For more information on the change in business model, please see "Commercialization Business Model" section.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has generated minimal revenues and experienced an accumulated deficit of $44,335,140 through December 31, 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred net losses of $3,025,998 and $7,572,746, respectively and used cash flows from operations of $1,347,122 and $6,248,128, respectively. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in note 2. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.< /P>

Our current resources are insufficient to fund all of our planned development and commercialization efforts. As of December 31, 2007, we have a working capital deficiency and we had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of approximately $287,571. Currently, we have out-licensed our SP-01A and in-licensed the rights to sell fifteen (15) drugs, Amphocil from Three Rivers Pharmaceuticals, Elaprase and Replagal from Shire Pharmaceuticals, Infasurf from Ony, Inc, Mepivamol, Methadone, Morphine Sulphate, Naloxone, Naltrexone, Oramorph, and Pethidine from Molteni Pharmaceuticals, Erwinase, Kidrolase, and Rapydan from EUSA Pharma and Abioklad from Abiogen Pharma to meet our cash needs. We intend to continue to explore avenues to obtain additional capital through private placements, if we are unable to obtain additional financing, we might be required to delay, scale back or eliminate selected research and product development programs or clinical trials, or be required to license third parties to commercialize products or technologies that we would otherwise undertake ourselves, or cease certain operations all together. Any of these options might have a material adverse effect upon the Company. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to stockholders may result, and new investors could have rights superior to existing holders of shares. Should the financing we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $129,500 on a short-term basis pursuant to the terms of promissory notes from the Company and in favor of the Lender (the "Notes"). Proceeds from each of the loans funded the Company's continuing operating expenses, ongoing expenses, legal and accounting fees, as well as for working capital and other contingencies. Under the terms of the Notes issued by the Company to the Lender, the Company will: (i) pay interest to the Lender at a rate of 16% per annum and ii) 100% warrant coverage. The principal and interest due on the Notes are due on demand. The Notes will be repaid from proceeds of any subsequent financing arrangement to which the Company becomes a party or from the cash flow from the Company's operations. The prior notes of $300,000 that the Company borrowed in 2007 were renegotiated to match the terms of notes issued during the first quarter of 2008. T he Notes will be repaid from proceeds of any subsequent financing arrangement to which the Company becomes a party or from the cash flow from the Company's operations.

Results of Operations For The Twelve (12) Months Ending December 31, 2007 As Compared To The Twelve (12) Months Ending December 31, 2006

During the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2006, we incurred research expenditures pursuant to grants we received from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. We recognized grant revenue of $205,000 and $32,379, the extent of such qualifying expenditures for 2007 and 2006, respectively.

39


We incurred research and development expenses of $1,733,194 for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to of $4,667,053 for the year ended December 31, 2006. This decrease of $2,933,859, or sixty-three percent (63%), was primarily attributable to (a) entering into the latter stage of our Phase IIb HIV clinical trial, (b) decreased expenses incurred to development of SP-01A, and (c) less work during this time period to complete the chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) section of New Drug Application for the FDA. We expect that research and development expenditures relating to drug discovery and development will increase in 2008 and into subsequent years due to FDA clinical trials which include the continuation and expansion of clinical trials (i) our Alzheimer's drug program, (ii) the initiation of trials for other potential indications and (iii) additional study expenditures for potential pharmaceutical candidates. Research and development expenses may fluctuate from period to period depending upon the stage of certain projects and the level of preclinical testing and clinical trial-related activities.

General and administrative expenses increased to $4,285,872 for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $2,812,934 for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase of $1,472,938 or fifty-two percent (52%) was primarily attributable to increases in compensation and hiring of new employees to implement our strategy in Eastern Europe.

Depreciation and amortization amounted to $184,967 for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $156,933 for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase of $28,034 or eighteen percent (18%) was primarily attributable to increased amortization of patent registration costs and technology rights for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Net interest (income) expense amounted to $(13,897) and $(31,795) for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The credit balance in the interest expense account is due to offsetting interest earned from holding our cash in notes receivable and certificates of deposits. During 2007, the Company received a loan of $300,000. Therefore, interest expense accrued pertaining to the loan offset interest earned on the note receivable.

Other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of two components. The Company invests in marketable securities to earn a return on cash not needed in the short-term. Temporary, unrealized gains and losses are recorded to reflect changes in the market value of the temporary investments as they occur. There were no marketable securities owned during 2007 During 2006, there was a realized loss of $3,160 on the liquidation of the CD. The other component of comprehensive income is due to the payment in foreign currency of operations that occur in Ireland and Greece. The amount of the gain or loss is a function of the relative strength of the American dollar to the Euro. At December 31, 2007, the balance of the foreign currency translation gain was $60,525.

We had a net loss of $3,025,998 for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $7,572,746 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The loss per share for the yearly periods was $0.12 and $0.29 per share, respectively, for 2007 and 2006 per share. The decreased loss of $4,546,748 reflects the stages of the Company’s maturing technology rights as the Company markets both licensing and product.

Results of Operations For The Twelve (12) Months Ending December 31, 2006 As Compared To The Twelve (12) Months Ending December 31, 2005

During the years ending December 31, 2006 and 2005, we incurred research expenditures pursuant to grants we received from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. We recognized grant revenue of $32,379 and $256,847, the extent of such qualifying expenditures for 2006 and 2005, respectively.

We incurred research and development expenses of $4,667,053 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $3,456,301 for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase of $1,210,752, or thirty-five percent (35%), was primarily attributable to (a) the continuation of our Phase IIb HIV clinical trial, (b) our increase in financial commitment with Georgetown University, (c) additional expenses incurred to development of SP-01A, including payments to Pharmaplaz, LTD for the manufacturing of SP-01A and (d) performing the work necessary to complete the chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) section of New Drug Application for the FDA, which was submitted with studies conducted under the IND for SP-01A. In 2007, we had a decrease research and development expenditures relating to drug discovery and development, but we expect it to increase in 2008 and subsequent years due to FDA clinical trials which include the continuation and expansion of clinical trials (i) our Alzheimer's drug program, (ii) the initiation of trials for other potential indications and (iii) additional study expenditures for potential pharmaceutical candidates. Research and development expenses may fluctuate from period to period depending upon the stage of certain projects and the level of preclinical testing and clinical trial-related activities.

General and administrative expenses increased to $2,812,934 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $2,320,011 for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase of $492,923 or twenty-one percent (21%) was primarily attributable to increases in compensation and advertising.

40


Depreciation and amortization amounted to $156,933 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $98,115 for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase of $58,818 or sixty percent (60%) was primarily attributable to research equipment purchases during the second quarter of 2005 and amortization of patent registration costs of $55,458 for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Net interest (income) expense amounted to $(31,795) and $(60,021) for the years ending December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The credit balance in the interest expense account is due to offsetting interest earned from holding our cash in marketable securities and certificates of deposits. During 2006, a certificate of deposit was liquidated to provide operating capital. Therefore, interest earnings declined from 2005 to 2006.

Other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of two components. The Company invests in marketable securities to earn a return on cash not needed in the short-term. Temporary, unrealized gains and losses are recorded to reflect changes in the market value of the temporary investments as they occur. At December 31, 2006, such market fluctuations totaled $3,933. During 2006, there was a realized loss of $3,160 on the liquidation of the CD. The other component of comprehensive income is due to the payment in foreign currency of operations that occur in Ireland and Greece. The amount of the gain or loss is a function of the relative strength of the American dollar to the Euro. At December 31, 2006, the balance of the foreign currency translation gain was $77,141.

We had a net loss of $7,572,746 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $5,557,559 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The loss per share for the yearly periods was $0.05 and 0.04 per share, respectively, for 2006 and 2005 per share. The increased loss of $2,015,187, relates primarily to increased expenses, particularly in research, as described above.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We do not engage in trading market-risk sensitive instruments and do not purchase hedging instruments or other than trading instruments that are likely to expose us to market risk, whether interest rate, foreign currency exchange, commodity price or equity price risk. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $129,500 on a short-term basis pursuant to the terms of promissory notes from the Company and in favor of each of the individual lenders (the "Notes"). Proceeds from each of the loans funded the Company's continuing operating expenses, ongoing expenses, legal and accounting fees, as well as for working capital and other contingencies. Under the terms of the Notes issued by the Company to each Lender, the Company will: (i) pay interest to each Lender at a rate of 16% per annum and ii) 100% warrant coverage. The principal and interest due on the Notes are due on demand. The Notes will be repaid fro m proceeds of any subsequent financing arrangement to which the Company becomes a party or from the cash flow from the Company's operations. The prior notes of $300,000 that the Company borrowed in 2007 were renegotiated to match the terms of notes issued during the first quarter of 2008. We have not entered into any forward or future contracts, and have purchased no options and entered into no swaps. We have no credit lines or other borrowing facilities, and do not view ourselves as subject to interest rate fluctuation risk at the present time.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Samaritan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. financial statements, schedules and supplementary data, appear in a separate section of this report beginning with page F-1.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007. Our management has concluded, based on their evaluation, that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2007 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

41


The management of Samaritan Pharmaceuticals is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance, based on an appropriate cost-benefit analysis, regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended). Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria. This report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

(c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview. The Compensation Committee administers our executive compensation program. Each member of the Compensation Committee is a non-employee and an independent director. The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing salaries, administering the incentive programs, and determining the total compensation for our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers. The Compensation Committee seeks to achieve the following goals with the Company's executive compensation programs: to attract, motivate and retain key executives and to reward executives for value creation. The Compensation Committee seeks to foster a performance-oriented environment by tying a significant portion of each executive's cash and equity compensation to the achievement of performance targets that are important to the Company and its stockholders. The Company's executive compensation program has three principal elements: base salary, cash bonuses and equity incentives under the Amended Samaritan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2001 Stock Incentive Plan and Samaritan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan.

We conducted an annual benchmark review of the aggregate level of our executive compensation, as well as the mix of elements used to compensate our executive officers. This review is based on a survey of executive compensation, "BioWorld Executive Compensation Report", conducted by an independent third party, Thomson BioWorld.

Compensation Philosophy. The Compensation Committee has designed the Company's compensation program based on the philosophy that all of our executives are important to our success, with our executive officers setting the direction of our business and having overall responsibility for our results. As with other pharmaceutical companies, we operate in a highly competitive and difficult economic environment. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee has structured the Company's compensation to accomplish several goals: (a) to attract and retain very talented individuals, (b) to reward creativity in maximizing business opportunities and (c) to enhance stockholder value by achieving our short-term and long-term business objectives.

Elements of Compensation

Executive compensation consists of the following elements:

Base Salary. The Compensation Committee considers peer data as well as individual performance when approving base salaries for executive officers. The Compensation Committee evaluates individual performance based on the achievement of corporate or divisional operating goals and subjective criteria, as well as the Chief Executive Officer's evaluation of the other executive officers. No specific weight is assigned to any particular factor. The Company is currently negotiating new agreements with the Dr. Janet Greeson and Mr. Eugene Boyle. Dr. Thomas Lang and Dr. Christos Dakas each have employment agreements negotiated at arm's length with the Compensation Committee, and each such agreement provides for a minimum annual base salary. In setting base salaries, the Board has considered (a) the contributions made by each executive to our Company, (b) compensation paid by peer companies to their executive officers and (c) outside compensation reports. In 2006, all executive officers received salary increases of approximately five percent (5%) reflecting competitive trends, general economic conditions as well as a number of factors relating to the particular individual, including the performance of the individual executive, and level of experience, ability and knowledge of the job.

Bonuses. The Compensation Committee has the authority to award discretionary bonuses to our executive officers. The incentive bonuses are intended to compensate officers for achieving financial and operational goals and for achieving individual annual performance objectives. These objectives vary depending on the individual executive, but relate generally to strategic factors such as a) initial signing of an employment agreement; b) upon acceptance of filing of a new drug application by the FDA; c) the FDA approval to move from one phase to the next phase in the FDA application process; d) pharmaceutical sales goals achieved e) completion of an in-licensing contract; f) completion of an out-licensing contract; and g) increases in market capitalization. The Compensation Committee did not make any cash bonuses to the executive officers in 2007.

47


Long-Term Incentive Program. We believe that long-term performance is achieved through an ownership culture that encourages such performance by our executive officers through the use of stock and stock-based awards. Our stock compensation plans have been established to provide certain of our employees, including our executive officers, with incentives to help align those employees' interests with the interests of stockholders. The compensation committee believes that the use of stock and stock-based awards offers the best approach to achieving our compensation goals. We have not adopted stock ownership guidelines and our stock compensation plans have provided the principal method for our executive officers to acquire equity or equity-linked interests in our Company. We believe that the annual aggregate value of these awards should be set near competitive median levels for comparable companies. However, due to the early stage of our business, we expect to provide a greater portion of total compensation to our executives through our stock compensation plans than through cash-based compensation. The Compensation Committee makes stock awards to executive officers and this type of award may occur in future years, based on the Compensation Committee's assessment of the Company's needs and objectives, which are as follows.

Stock Options. Our Compensation Committee is the administrator of the stock option plan. Stock option grants are made at the commencement of employment and, occasionally, following a significant change in job responsibilities or to meet other special retention or performance objectives. The Plans are designed to (a) reward executives for achieving long-term financial performance goals over a three (3) year to ten (10) year period, (b) provide retention incentives for executives and (c) tie a significant portion of an executive's total compensation to our long-term performance. Periodic stock option grants are made at the discretion of the Compensation Committee to eligible employee and, in appropriate circumstances, the Compensation Committee considers the recommendations of members of management, such as Dr. Janet Greeson, our Chief Executive Officer, and Eugene Boyle, Chief Financial Officer. In 2006, certain named executive officers were awarded stock options in the amounts indicated in the sections entitled "Summary Compensation Table" and "Grants of Plan Based Awards". The short and long-term compensation program includes stock options granted under the Amended Samaritan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2001 Stock Incentive Plan and the Samaritan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (together, the "Plans") as well as non-qualified stock options. Stock options for our executive officers, key employees and key consultants are part of our incentive program and link the enhancement of shareholder value directly to their total compensation. The Compensation Committee determines the number of stock options granted based upon several factors: (a) level of responsibility, (b) expected contribution towards our performance and (c) total compensation strategy for mix of base salary, short-term incentives and long-term incentives.

Our Plans authorize us to grant options to purchase shares of common stock to our employees, directors and consultants. Stock options granted by us typically have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our Common Stock on the day of grant, and typically vest twenty-five percent (25%) over a particular period, and generally expire between three and ten years after the date of grant. Incentive stock options also include certain other terms necessary to assure compliance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Stock Appreciation Rights. Our Amended Samaritan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2001 Stock Incentive Plan and the Samaritan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan authorizes us to grant stock appreciation rights, or SARs. A SAR represents a right to receive the appreciation in value, if any, of our Common Stock over the base value of the SAR. The base value of each SAR equals the value of our Common Stock on the date the SAR is granted. Upon surrender of each SAR, unless we elect to deliver common stock, we will pay an amount in cash equal to the value of our Common Stock on the date of delivery over the base price of the SAR. SARs typically vest based upon continued employment on a pro-rata basis over a four-year period, and generally expire ten years after the date of grant. Our Compensation Committee is the administrator of our stock appreciation rights plan. To date, no SARs have been awarded to any of our executive officers.

Restricted Stock Grants. Our Compensation Committee has and may in the future elect to make grants of restricted stock to our executive officers.

Other Compensation. The amounts shown in the Summary Compensation Table under the heading "Other Compensation" represent the value of Company matching contributions to the executive officers' 401(k) accounts and the taxable value of certain life insurance benefits. Executive officers did not receive any other perquisites or other personal benefits or property.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation. The Compensation Committee uses the same factors in determining the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer as it does for the executive officers. The Chief Executive Officer's base salary for Fiscal 2007 was $506,556, and as of December 31, 2006, the Chief Executive Officer has accrued compensation of $719,555 which could be converted into restricted shares, at the executive's option. The Chief Executive Officer received other compensation as indicated in the Summary Compensation Table.

48


The Compensation Committee is mindful of the potential impact upon the Company of Section 162(m) of the Code, which provides that compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid to the President and CEO or to any of the other four most highly compensated executive officers of a public company will not be deductible for federal income tax purposes unless such compensation satisfies one of the enumerated exceptions set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code. The Compensation Committee has reviewed our compensation plans and programs with regard to the deduction limitation set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code. Based on this review, the Compensation Committee anticipates that the annual bonus, long term incentive plan bonus and gain, if any, recognized by our President and CEO and named executive officers upon the exercise of stock options or SARS meet the requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Dr. Lang shall have the opportunity to participate in all of the Company's qualified defined benefit and defined contribution retirement plans (subject to eligibility requirements in such plans), three (3) weeks paid vacation (and paid holidays observed by the Company.

During calendar year 2007, Dr. Janet Greeson and Eugene Boyle withdrew restricted shares for an aggregate value of $280,000 and $70,000 respectively from the Samaritan Deferred Compensation Plan which was contributed to the Plan prior to the year 2005.

6)     

On December 14, 2007, the Company issued the following restricted shares into the Samaritan Pharmaceuticals Benefit Plan for the following executives: Dr. Janet Greeson, 1,424,694; Eugene Boyle, 474,895; Christos Dakas, 78,456; and George Weaver, 74,765.

7)     

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company has fully adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R and related interpretations as provided by SAB 107. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of the grant as the excess of the current market price of the underlying stock over the exercise price. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. The Company applies this statement prospectively. Had the Company applied this statement retrospectively, the amount in this column for fiscal year 2005, Eugene Boyle would have been $1,297,831, and Dr. Christos Dakas would have been $14,320; the amount for fiscal year 2004, Dr. Janet Greeson would have been $2,024,871, Eugene Boyle would been $912,069, Dr. Thomas Lang would have been $1,114,625 and George Weaver would have been $5,660. These amounts represent the estimated present value of these stock options at the respective date of grant, calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions used in developing the grant valuations: an volatility of 110% for options granted for 2006; an average volatility of 41% for options granted during 2005 and an average volatility of 82% for options granted during 2004; a risk-free interest rate of 5% per year for options granted in 2006, 2005 and 2004; and a dividend yield of 0% for options granted in years 2006, 2005 and 2004. The actual value of the options, if any, realized by an officer will depend on the extent to which the market value of the Common Stock exceeds the exercise price of the option on the date the option is exercised. Consequently, there is no assurance that the value realized by an officer will be at or near the value estimated above. These amounts should not be used to predict stock performance.

8)     

The amounts shown in this column cover amounts for the payment of medical and dental insurance, short and long term disability insurance, Medicare/Social Security taxes, car allowances, life insurance premiums, life annuity premiums and accidental death and dismemberment insurance for the benefit of the particular employee, and the employers matching contribution to the particular employees 401(k).

9)     

We adopted a tax-qualified employee savings and retirement plan, or 401(k) plan, covering our full-time employees located in the United States. The 401(k) plan is intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), so that contributions to the 401(k) plan by employees, and the investment earnings thereon, are not taxable to employees until withdrawn from the 401(k) plan. Under the 401(k) plan, employees may elect to reduce their current compensation up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit and have the amount of such contribution contributed to the 401(k) plan. The 401(k) plan does permit additional matching contributions to the 401(k) plan by us on behalf of participants in the 401(k).

10)     

On June 29, 2005, the Company entered into an employment arrangement with Christos Dakas to serve as the European Business Development and Managing Director of Samaritan Pharmaceuticals Europe S.A. in Greece. Dr. Dakas shall receive a base salary of (Euro) 105,280 per year, a car allowance equal to (Euro) 12,852 per year and a performance based bonus to be awarded annually at the discretion of the CEO of the Company. Dr. Dakas also is entitled to receive 100,000 stock options priced at one hundred ten percent (110%) of the market price effective July 11, 2005 and said options expire after three (3) years, or after thirty (30) days after Dr. Dakas leaves his employ with Samaritan Pharmaceuticals Europe. Dr. Dakas is entitled to health insurance and other benefit programs per Samaritan Pharmaceuticals Europe. The amounts shown in this column cover amounts f or the payment of Medicare/Social Security taxes, life insurance premiums and life annuity premiums for the benefit of the particular employee, and the employers matching contribution to the particular employees 401(k).

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table

In order to conserve cash, the Named Executive Officers and certain other key employees may convert their salaries into restricted shares of the Company.

Material Terms of Employment Contracts of Named Executive Officers

We do not have employment agreements with Dr. Janet Greeson, Mr. Eugene Boyle, and Mr. George Weaver. The Company does have employment agreements with Dr. Thomas Lang and Dr. Christos Dakas, both agreements ending in the calendar year 2008. Each executive works for a base salary, with a minimum five (5%) annual increase for subsequent years. Each executive also received our standard employee life, disability, long-term care (after five years of service), health insurance benefits, and car allowances. Each executive may also be entitled to receive additional compensation for achieving the following events:


(i)     

upon consummation of a transaction with a pharmaceutical company expected to result in equity investment, a royalty revenue, or other substantial benefit as our Board may determine;

(ii)     

upon approval by the Food and Drug Administration of each new investigational new drug application filed by us for commencement of human trials;

(iii)     

upon approval by the FDA of each new drug application filed by us for any drug,; and

(iv)     

upon achievement of goals specified by our Board as determined in the third quarter of each fiscal year, based on performance relative to their individual work as an executive manager and/or scientist and based on reference to objective criteria such as the market price of our stock or meeting budgets approved by the Board.

If an executive’s employment terminates other than “for cause” or within twelve months after a change of control of Samaritan Pharmaceuticals, he or she is entitled to, among other things, severance payments of four (4) months for every year of service based on his or her salary as of termination, and any payment calculated by reference to prior bonus payments, continuation of or comparable health plan benefits for themselves for four months for every year of service, and immediate vesting of any unvested stock options.

The agreement requires the executive to assign inventions and other intellectual property to Samaritan Pharmaceuticals which they conceive or reduce to practice during employment and for such period as the Company pays severance, contains protective provisions concerning confidential information, non-competition and non-solicitation of employees, and provides for indemnification of each executive.

Pension Benefits

None of our named executives participate in or have account balances in qualified or non-qualified defined benefit plans sponsored by us. The Compensation Committee, which is solely comprised of "outside directors" as defined for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, may elect to adopt qualified or non-qualified defined benefit plans if the Compensation Committee determines that doing so is in our best interests.

Nonqualified Defined Contribution and Other Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company has established "Rabbi Trust" agreements for the benefit of select management and highly-compensated employees and has appointed a trustee that is a non-director and officer providing for the payment out of the assets of the Rabbi Trust agreements accrued under the Company's various employment agreements and other employment arrangements as the Company may specify from time to time. The Rabbi Trust agreements would become irrevocable upon a change of control of Samaritan. The Company may make contributions to the Rabbit Trust agreements from time to time, and additional funding may be required upon a change of control. To the extent funded, the Rabbi Trust agreements are to be used, subject to their terms and to the claims of the Company's general creditors in specified circumstances, to make payments under the terms of the benefit plans, employment agreements and other employment arrangements as the Company may speci fy from time to time. To date, only restricted shares have been deferred into the nonqualified deferred compensation plan, thus the plan will be settled in restricted shares.

Change of Control Plan

On May 30, 2006 the Board approved and adopted the Change in Control Severance Plan for Certain Covered Executives and Employees of Samaritan Pharmaceuticals (the "Change in Control Plan"), effective May 30, 2006. The Change in Control Plan is intended to help avoid the loss and distraction of certain key employees of the Company in the event of a change in control. The Plan has an initial term of three (3) years with automatic three-year extensions, unless terminated by the Board at least six (6) months prior to the end of the then current term.

The Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Senior Vice Presidents, Vice Presidents, and Directors are eligible to participate in the Change in Control Plan, and the Board may designate other employees of the Company as Plan participants. The Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the participant a cash severance calculated based on a multiplier of four (4) months of base salary for every year of service up to maximum in of either twenty four (24) months or thirty six (36) months depending on the participants job title or job category. The severance amount equals the applicable multiplier times the sum of (A) the participant's highest annual rate of base salary as reported on the participant's W-2 for employee or on the participant's 1099 for directors within the thirty six (36) month period immediately preceding the Effective Date of the change in control and (B) the participant's maximum ann ual target bonus in effect upon the date of the change in control under the Company's bonus plan or the Participant's actual earned commission incentive for the last two quarters, which will be annualized, prior to the change in Control, not to exceed the target at 100% of achievement as defined in the Company's Sales Incentive Plan in effect upon the date of the change in control.

The Change in Control Plan provides that, if, within three years following a "change in control" (as defined in the Change in Control Plan), a participant's employment is terminated by the Company without "cause" (as defined in the Plan) or by the participant for "good reason" (as defined in the Change in Control Plan), the participant is eligible for severance benefits equal to a multiple of the sum of the participant's base salary and the higher of the participant's target bonus opportunity during the year in which the change in control occurs or his or her target bonus opportunity following the change in control. Each participant will also receive his or her salary through the date of termination, a pro rata target bonus payment for the year in which the termination occurs, a pro rata long-term incentive payment to the extent provided in the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan, and any earned but unpaid long-term incentive paym ents or annual bonuses. In the event that a participant becomes subject to an excise tax under section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the participant will generally be entitled to receive an additional amount such that the participant is placed in the same after-tax position as if no excise tax had been imposed. The Change in Control Plan may be amended by the Board at any time, except that no amendment that adversely affects the rights or potential rights of a participant will be effective in the event that a change in control occurs within three (3) year of such amendment.

In the event the named executive officers were terminated without "cause" or they terminated their employment for "good reason" following a change of control, the named executive officers would receive the following severance payments (based on current salary rates, the average bonuses of the named executive officers for the last three fiscal years as the highest bonus and additional retirement benefits). Assuming the employment of our executive officers were to be terminated without cause (whether through constructive termination or otherwise) on December 31, 2007, the following individuals would be entitled to payments in the amounts set forth: Dr. Janet Greeson, $1,849,062; Eugene Boyle, $910,230; Dr. Thomas Lang, $302,608; Dr. Christos Dakas, $139,137; and George Weaver, $211,107. The foregoing does not include any amounts that would be payable under the "gross-up" provisions of the change of control employment agreements, or any amounts attributable to the accelerated vesting of equity awards upon a change of control.

Discussion of Director Compensation

Directors who are employees of the Company do not receive additional compensation for serving as directors. Each director who is not an employee of the Company receives a grant of shares of our Common Stock, annually as compensation for his or her services as a member of the Board of Directors. Non-employee directors receive no additional fee for meetings of the Board of Directors attended in person by such director or for each telephone meeting in which such director participates. Non-employee directors who serve on a committee of the Board receive a grant of shares of our Common Stock, annually as compensation for his or her services as a member of such committee. Chairmen of the committees receive a grant of shares of our Common Stock annually as compensation for his or her services as a chairman of such committee. All directors of the Company are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meeti ngs of the Board or committees thereof, and for other expenses incurred in their capacities as directors of the Company.


The following director compensation table sets forth the total annual compensation paid or accrued by the Company to or for the account of each member of the Board of the Company except the Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Janet Greeson, and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Eugene Boyle, who receive no additional compensation in their individual capacity as Board members:

3) Samaritan has entered into "Rabbi Trust" agreements to fund deferred compensation benefits, with an institutional trustee providing for the payment out of the assets of the trusts of benefits accrued under our various benefit plans, employment agreements and other employment arrangements as the Company specifies from time to time. To the extent not already irrevocable, the trusts would become irrevocable upon a change of control of Samaritan. The Company may contribute to the trusts from time to time, and additional funding could be required upon a change of control. The Rabbi Trust agreements are subject to their terms and to the claims of our general creditors in specified circumstances, to make payments under the terms of the benefit plans, employment agreements and other employment arrangements from time to times specified by the Company.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Except as indicated by footnote, to our knowledge, the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them. Options to purchase shares of the our Common Stock that are exercisable within sixty (60) days of March 14, 2008 are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such options for the purpose of computing ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the ownership of any other person. Applicable percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 30,762,672 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 14, 2008.

The following table sets forth information we know with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of March 14, 2008, for each person or group of affiliated persons, whom we know to beneficially own more than 5% of our Common Stock. The table also sets forth such information for our directors and executive officers, individually and as a group. The address for each listed stockholder is: c/o Samaritan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 101 Convention Center Drive, Suite 310, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

The following table presents fees for professional audit services rendered by SHERB & CO., LLP for the audit of the Company's annual financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and fees billed for other services rendered by SHERB & CO LLP during those periods:

        2007        2006 
Audit fee:    $   45,000    $   45,000 
Audit-related fees:    $   15,000    $   15,000 
Tax fees:    $   -    $   - 
Other:    $   8,610    $   4,025 
Total:    $   68,610    $   64,025 

Audit fees consisted principally of audit work performed on the consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, as well as work generally only the independent registered public accounting firm can reasonably be expected to provide, such as statutory audits. The Company generally does not engage SHERB & CO LLP, for other services, other than Edgar services.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

57


Consistent with SEC rules regarding auditor independence, the Audit Committee has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent registered public accounting firm. In recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm.

Prior to engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm for the next year's audit, management will submit a list of services and related fees expected to be rendered during that year within each of categories of services to the Audit Committee for approval.

Audit services include audit work performed on the financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, as well as work that generally only the independent registered public accounting firm can reasonably be expected to provide, including comfort letters, statutory audits and discussions surrounding the proper application of financial accounting and/or reporting standards.

Audit-Related services are for assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by the independent registered public accounting firm, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits, and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements.

Tax services include all services, except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, performed by the independent registered public accounting firm's tax personnel, including tax analysis; assisting with coordination of execution of tax-related activities, primarily in the area of corporate development; supporting other tax-related regulatory requirements; and tax compliance and reporting.

All Other services are those services not captured in the audit, audit-related or tax categories.

The Company generally does not request such services from the independent registered public accounting firm. Prior to engagement, the Audit Committee pre-approves independent public accounting firm services within each category and the fees for each category are budgeted. The Audit Committee requires the independent registered public accounting firm and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year by category of service. During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent registered public accounting firm for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval categories. In those instances, the Audit Committee requires specific pre-approval before engaging the independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one (1) or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee of the Board is composed of three (3) independent directors. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board and attached as Exhibit A to the proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 3, 2001.

The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. The members of the Audit Committee consist of independent directors Mr. H. Thomas Winn, Ms. Cynthia C. Thompson and Mr. Jacinto L. Ayala. Each year, the Audit Committee recommends to the Board, subject to stockholder ratification, the selection of the Company's independent auditors.

Management is responsible for the Company's financial statements and the financial reporting process, including internal controls. The independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and for issuing a report thereon. The Audit Committee's responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and SHERB & CO., LLP. Management represented to the Committee that the Company's consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent auditors. The Audit Committee discussed with SHERB & CO., LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61(Communication with Audit Committees). These matters included a discussion of SHERB & CO., LLP's judgments about the quality (not just the acceptability) of the Company's accounting principles as applied to financial reporting.

58


SHERB & CO., LLP also provided the Audit Committee with the written disclosures and letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1(Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the Audit Committee discussed with SHERB & CO., LLP that firm's independence. The Audit Committee further considered whether the provision by SHERB & CO., LLP of the non-audit services described elsewhere in this proxy statement is compatible with maintaining the auditors' independence.

Based upon the Audit Committee's discussion with management and the independent auditors and the Audit Committee's review of the representation of management and the disclosures by the independent auditors to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Company's audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee and the Board have also recommended the selection of SHERB & CO., LLP as the Company's independent auditors for 2008, subject to stockholder ratification.

The Audit Committee Report does not constitute soliciting material, and shall not be deemed to be filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates the Audit Committee Report by reference therein.

The Audit Committee:

  Mr. H. Thomas Winn (Chairman)
Ms. Cynthia C. Thompson
Mr. Jacinto L. Ayala

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders Samaritan Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Samaritan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years ending December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 and for the period from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2007. The period beginning January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1999 was audited by the predecessor accounting firm. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financia l statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, the consolidated financial position of Samaritan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ending December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 and for the period from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2007. The period beginning January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1999 was audited by the predecessor accounting firm, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has generated minimal revenues and experienced an accumulated deficit of $44,335,140 through December 31, 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred net losses of $3,025,998 and $7,572,746, respectively and used cash flows from operations of $1,347,122 and $6,248,128, respectively. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in note 2. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.< /P>

The accompanying consolidated cumulative statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholder's equity and cash flows regarding the period from inception (September 5, 1994) through December 31, 1996, was activity prior to our engagement as auditors upon which we or the predecessor auditor have not performed procedures. Therefore, we do not express an opinion on them.

SAMARITAN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007, 2006 AND 2005 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Samaritan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (including the subsidiaries, referred to as Samaritan, the "Company", "its", "we", and "our"), formed in September 1994, is an entrepreneurial biopharmaceutical company, focused on commercializing innovative therapeutic products to relieve the suffering of patients with Alzheimer's disease; cancer; cardiovascular disease, HIV, and Hepatitis C; as well as, commercializing its acquired marketing and sales rights, to sell fifteen (15) marketed revenue-generating products, in Greece, and/or various Eastern European countries.

Samaritan has partnered its oral entry inhibitor HIV drug SP-01A, a drug that has demonstrated safety and efficacy, in Phase II clinical trials, with Pharmaplaz, Ireland to advance to Phase III clinical trials. In addition, Samaritan aims to commercialize three (3) drug candidates with late-stage preclinical development programs. Samaritan is evaluating the use of Caprospinol, SP-233 in Alzheimer's disease patients; the use of SP-1000 with acute coronary disease patients; and the use of SP-30 as an "oral treatment" for Hepatitis C patients.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. At December 31, 2007, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $44,335,140, and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, incurred net losses of $3,025,998 and $7,572,746, respectively and used cash flows from operations of $1,347,122 and $6,248,128, respectively.

Management's plans with regard to these matters include the following:

1.     

Obtaining additional capital through the sale of common stock to existing and new stockholders;

2.     

Marketing of pharmaceutical products in Eastern Europe;

3.     

Continue its efforts to attempt to collect payment due to the Company from Pharmaplaz;

4.     

Continue its efforts to out-license the Company’s technologies.

Accordingly, management is of the opinion that aggressive marketing combined with additional capital will result in improved operations and cash flow for 2008 and beyond. However, there can be no assurance that management will be successful in obtaining additional funding or in attaining profitable operations.

Product Sales. Samaritan Pharmaceuticals sells Amphocil and Elaprase in Greece. Product sales are recognized when delivery of the products has occurred, title has passed to the customer, the selling price is fixed or determinable, collectibility is reasonably assured and the Company has no further obligations. The Company records allowances for product returns, rebates and wholesaler chargebacks, wholesaler discounts, and prescription vouchers at the time of sale and reports product sales net of such allowances. The Company must make significant judgments in determining these allowances. We periodically evaluate the need to maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. When making this evaluation, we made judgments about the creditworthiness of customers based on ongoing credit evaluations and the aging profile of customer accounts receivabl e and assess current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future. The products Amphocil and Elaprase have not experienced significant credit losses, therefore we have no allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2007.

License Revenue. The Company's license revenues are generated through an agreement with a strategic partner. Nonrefundable, up-front license fees and milestone payments with standalone value that are not dependent on any future performance by us under the arrangements are recognized as revenue upon the earlier of when payments are received or collections is assured, but are deferred if we have continuing performance obligations. If we have continuing involvement through contractual obligations under such agreement, such up-front fees are deferred and recognized over the period for which we continue to have a performance obligation, unless all of the following criteria exist: (1) the delivered item(s) have standalone value to the customer, (2) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item(s). We also make estimates and judgments when determining whether the collectibility of license fees receiv able from licensees is reasonably assured. We assess the collectibility of accrued license fees based on a number of factors and if it is determined that collection is not reasonably assured, the fee is recognized when collectibility becomes reasonably assured, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

On March 28, 2007, Samaritan and Pharmaplaz, a private Irish Healthcare company and a shareholder of Samaritan, signed an agreement (the "Pharmaplaz Agreement") to commercialize SP-01A. Under the terms of the agreement, Pharmaplaz is required to pay Samaritan $10 million upfront. To date, under the Pharmaplaz Agreement, the amount of funds received from Pharmaplaz is $2.15 million; $1.4 million and $750,000 were received during the first and fourth quarter of 2007 respectively. On May 15, 2007, the CEO of Pharmaplaz, Michael Macken, signed a personal guarantee and on May 21, 2007 a stock pledge agreement for 943,291 (split-adjusted) shares of Samaritan Pharmaceuticals to guarantee the balance of the $7.85 million. On May 15, 2007, the amount of shares pledged was worth $1,300,742. On December 31, 2007, the last reported market sale price of our Common Stock was $0.33 and the value of the stock pledge was $311,286. As a result of Pharmaplaz's failure to timely pay the remaining balance of 7.85 million, Pharmaplaz is not in compliance with the terms of the Pharmaplaz Agreement. Samaritan is currently working with Pharmaplaz to collect the past due remaining balance.

Pharmaplaz, a shareholder, will pay for and be responsible for future research and development to bring the technology to market. Samaritan has no remaining obligations or performance for future research and development. The $10,000,000 payment is non-refundable. Upon request, Samaritan might occasionally advise Pharmaplaz regarding SP-01A, in relationship to Principal Investigators with applications for NIH grants, or other grant applications to advance SP-01A, at Pharmaplaz's cost. Samaritan and Pharmaplaz will split 50/50 of all revenues stemming from SP-01A.

Government Research Grant Revenue. The Company recognizes revenues from federal government research grants during the period in which the related expenditures

C. Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts at high credit quality financial institutions. The balances at times may exceed federally insured limits.

D. Inventory

The Company's inventory consists primarily of pharmaceutical products for distribution in its licensed territories. The Company values inventories at the lower of cost or fair market value. The Company determines the cost of inventory using the average cost method. The Company analyzes its inventory levels quarterly and writes down inventory that has become obsolete, inventory that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value and inventory quantities in excess of expected requirements. Expired inventory is disposed of and the related costs are written off and recognized as additional cost of sales.

F-10


E. Concentration of Credit Risks

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. In the normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to its customers that are customary for the local customs in the territory. The Company also invests its excess cash principally in marketable securities from a diversified portfolio of institutions with strong credit ratings and in U.S. government and agency bills and notes, and by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure at any one institution. These investments are generally not collateralized and primarily mature within one year. The Company has not realized any losses from such investments. At December 31, 2007, the Company had no excess cash invested in marketable securities.

At December 31, 2007, the Company had approximately $65,000 in bank deposits in Europe , which may not be insured. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through December 31, 2007.

The Company has present activities in Europe and Canada. As with all types of international business operations, currency fluctuations, exchange controls, restrictions on foreign investment, changes to tax regimes, political action and political instability could impair the value of the Company's investments.

F. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

G. Intangibles

Legal fees associated with filing patents are recorded at cost and amortized over 17 years. We currently own or in-license patents related to our products or product candidates and own or in-license additional applications for patents that are currently pending. In general, when we in-license intellectual property from various third parties, we are required to pay royalties to the parties on product sales. The Company reviews patent costs for impairment by comparing the carrying value of the patents with the fair value. The Company believes it will recover the full amount of the patent costs based on forecasts of sales of the products related to the patents. Patent registration costs are amortized over seventeen (17) years once approved. Patent amortization expense was $80,912 and $55,458 during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Projected amortization is $89,786 for 2008 through 2012. Certain U.S. patents may be eligible for patent term extensions under the Hatch-Waxman Act may be available to Samaritan for the lost opportunity to market and sell the invention during the regulatory review process.

Purchased technology rights are recorded at cost and are being amortized using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of the technology. Amortization expense was $25,720 for the year ending December 31, 2007, and $17,134 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Projected amortization expense associated with these technology rights in the future $14,676 for 2008 through 2012.

H. Earnings (loss) per share

The Company reports loss per common share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." The Company has 5,435,611, 4,286,444 and 3,976,003 options outstanding at December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which have not been included.

I. Use of Estimates

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

J. Income Taxes

Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (`SFAS 109') Accounting for Income Taxes', the Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Under the liability method, a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based upon the tax effect of the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted rates, which will be in effect when these differences reverse.

F-11


K. Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed when incurred.

L. Investment in Joint Venture

The Company and Samaritan Therapeutics, Canada, has signed a Research Collaboration and Licensing Agreement with The Research Institute of McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) in Montreal, Canada, to advance its promising pipeline into clinical trial status and develop new innovative drug candidates. Once drug candidates, derived from the collaborative research, are clinically-validated and deemed to hold promise, Samaritan Therapeutics will continue to develop the drug candidate in Canada, while Samaritan Pharmaceuticals will focus on the drug candidate's process through regulatory agencies and its commercialization throughout the rest of the world. The current budget is for $1,000,000 paid over four (4) quarterly payments of $250,000, is unallocated, and covers the general research and development effort. Going forward, this budget may increase or decrease depending upon changes in future research and development and other factors.

Since the Company does not own greater than 50% of Samaritan Therapeutics, Canada, we evaluated, the Company’s ownership / control of Samaritan Therapeutics, Canada, under FIN 46(R) "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" requires companies to determine whether they hold interests in a variable interest entity ("VIE") and, if so, to consolidate any VIEs for which they are the primary beneficiary.

As of December 31, 2007, Samaritan was a 50% investor of the above mentioned company. The amount of monies to date is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without further additional financial support and the characteristics of Samaritan investment have controlling financial interest attributes. This is considered to be a variable interest per the provisions of FIN 46(R), and therefore has been consolidated into The Company’s December 31, 2007 financial statements.

M. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable assets related to those on a quarterly basis for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. At December 31, 2007, the Company does not believe that any impairment has occurred.

N. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 107 Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ("SFAS 107") requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments whether or not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate the value. Where quoted market prices are not readily available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The carrying amount of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

O. Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating in foreign countries are translated into U.S. dollars using both the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date of historical rate, as applicable. Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the year. The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars are included in stockholders equity (Accumulated other comprehensive loss), while gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in operations.

P. Stock Based Compensation

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payments.” SFAS No. 123R requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards and applies to all outstanding and vested stock-based awards.

F-12


In computing the impact, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant based on the Black-Scholes options-pricing model utilizing certain assumptions for a risk free interest rate; volatility; and expected remaining lives of the awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Company’s stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. In estimating the Company’s forfeiture rate, the Company analyzed its historical forfeiture rate, the remaining lives of unvested options, and the amou nt of vested options as a percentage of total options outstanding. If the Company’s actual forfeiture rate is materially different from its estimate, or if the Company reevaluates the forfeiture rate in the future, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the current period. The impact of applying SFAS No. 123R approximated $498,139 and $220,366 in additional compensation for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Such amount is included in general and administrative and research and development expenses on the statement of operations.

Q. Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets

Total prepaid expenses of $148,614 and $10,750 consist of payments made in preparation of a preclinical research project, consulting prepayments and other miscellaneous prepayments.

R.. Accrued Officers' Compensation

Accrued officers' compensation consists of the unpaid portion of the respective officer's contract salary.

S. Loan Payable

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $129,500 on a short-term basis pursuant to the terms of promissory notes from the Company and in favor of the Lender (the "Notes"). Proceeds from each of the loans funded the Company's continuing operating expenses, ongoing expenses, legal and accounting fees, as well as for working capital and other contingencies. Under the terms of the Notes issued by the Company to the Lender, the Company will: (i) pay interest to the Lender at a rate of 16% per annum and ii) 100% warrant coverage. The principal and interest due on the Notes are due on demand. The Notes will be repaid from proceeds of any subsequent financing arrangement to which the Company becomes a party or from the cash flow from the Company's operations. The prior notes of $300,000, from the CEO of the Company borrowed in 2007 were renegotiated to match the terms of notes issued during the first quarte r of 2008. The Notes will be repaid from proceeds of any subsequent financing arrangement to which the Company becomes a party or from the cash flow from the Company's operations.

T. Unissued Stock

Unissued stock consists of proceeds from private placements received by year-end for stock that had yet to be issued. Such amounts were retired through the issuance of shares subsequent to the balance sheet date.

U. New Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS No. 159

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an amendment of FAS 115 (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 allows companies to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses shall be reported on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

F-13


FASB Statement Number 141 (revised 2007)

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. This Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. This Statement’s scope is broader than that of Statement 141, which applied only to business combinations in which control was obtained by transferring consideration. By applying the same method of accounting—the acquisition method—to all transactions and other events in which one ent ity obtains control over one or more other businesses, this Statement improves the comparability of the information about business combinations provided in financial reports.

This Statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the Statement. That replaces Statement 141’s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values.

This Statement applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity (the acquirer) obtains control of one or more businesses (the acquirer), including those sometimes referred to as “true mergers” or “mergers of equals” and combinations achieved without the transfer of consideration, for example, by contract alone or through the lapse of minority veto rights. This Statement applies to all business entities, including mutual entities that previously used the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for some business combinations. It does not apply to: (a) The formation of a joint venture, (b) The acquisition of an asset or a group of assets that does not constitute a business, (c) A combination between entities or businesses under common control, (d) A combination between not-for-profit organizations or the acquisition of a for-profit business by a not-for-profit organization.

This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. Management believes this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted.

FASB Statement Number 160

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160 - Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51. This Statement applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. Not-for-profit organizations should continue to apply the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, before the amendments made by this Statement, and any other applicable standards, until the Board issues interpretative guidance.

This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Before this Statement was issued, limited guidance existed for reporting noncontrolling interests. As a result, considerable diversity in practice existed. So-called minority interests were reported in the consolidated statement of financial position as liabilities or in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. This Statement improves comparability by eliminating that diversity.

A noncontrolling interest, sometimes called a minority interest, is the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. The objective of this Statement is to improve the

F-14


relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require: (a) The ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity, (b) The amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income, (c) Changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently. A parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary changes if the parent purchases additional ownership interests in its subsidiary or i f the parent sells some of its ownership interests in its subsidiary. It also changes if the subsidiary reacquires some of its ownership interests or the subsidiary issues additional ownership interests. All of those transactions are economically similar, and this Statement requires that they be accounted for similarly, as equity transactions, (d) When a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. The gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary is measured using the fair value of any noncontrolling equity investment rather than the carrying amount of that retained investment, (e) Entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners.

This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, January 1, 2009, for entities with calendar year-ends). Earlier adoption is prohibited. This Statement shall be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this Statement is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Management believes this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted.

NOTE 4 - SEGMENT REPORTING BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with high-credit, quality financial institutions. At December 31, 2007 and 2006 cash balances held at financial institutions were in excess of Federal insured limits.

The Company sells its products to various customers primarily in Europe and the USA. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations on its customers and generally does not require collateral. Export sales are usually made under letter of credit agreements. The Company does not establish reserves for expected credit losses and such losses, in the aggregate, have not exceeded management's expectations.

The Company’s licensing rights revenue and pharmaceutical sales which began during 2007 occurred in Europe. Grant revenue reported since inception is from the United States. The following summarizes identifiable assets by geographic area:

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2007, and 2006 was $78,334, and $84,342, respectively.

NOTE 6 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

The Company has 250 million common shares authorized and a class of 5 million shares of preferred stock authorized. There are no outstanding preferred stock shares at December 31, 2007.

A. Stock Option Plans.

The short and long-term compensation program includes stock options granted under Stock Incentive Plans as well as non-qualified stock options. The Company currently has two stock option plans: The 2005 Stock Option Plan, approved by the shareholders on June 10, 2005 as an additional plan to the Company's 2001 Stock Plan; and the 2001 Stock Option Plan, approved by the shareholders on April 24, 2001. Both option plans are designed to reward executives for achieving long-term financial performance goals over a three-year to ten-year period, provide retention incentives for executives, and tie a significant portion of an executive's total compensation to long-term performance. Stock options for executive officers and key associates are part of the incentive program and link the enhancement of shareholder value directly to their total compensation.

Shares available under the 2005 Plan: On a calendar year basis, Awards under the Plan may be made for a maximum of ten percent (10%) of the total shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis (without taking into account outstanding Awards at the end of the prior calendar year), less Awards outstanding at the end of the prior calendar year. Notwithstanding this limit, not more than three percent (3%) of the total shares of within the plan may be subject to ISO Awards during the term of the Plan, and not more than seven percent (7%) of the total shares within the plan may be subject to Awards in a form other than options and SARs. No director, officer, or employee may be granted options with respect to the total awards available under the plan to more than half of the awards within the Plan, nor more than 5,000,000 shares per fiscal year, subject to a limit of 2,500,000 shares per fiscal year for individuals first hi red that year. The number of shares subject to these limits will be adjusted in the event of certain changes in the capitalization of the Company.

Shares Available under the 2001 Plan: The number of awards that may be granted under the 2001 Plan in each calendar year will not exceed twenty percent (20%) of (i) the total shares of common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis, without taking into account awards outstanding under the 2001 Plan that are exercisable for or convertible into common stock or that are unvested stock awards (referred to as 'outstanding awards'), at the close of business on the last day of the preceding calendar year, less (ii) the number of shares subject to 'outstanding awards' at the close of business on that date.

The following table summarizes the Company's stock options outstanding at December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005:

The Company recognized option expense for 2007 and 2006 options of $498,139 and 220,366 respectively. The Company applies APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for its stock options. As a result no compensation expense had been recognized for employee and director stock options prior to 2006 when FASB Statement No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 (FAS No. 123R) was adopted. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options during those years under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company's net loss would have been reported as follows:

        12/31/05 
 
Net loss:

 Pro Forma    $   (6,887,390) 
Basic and diluted loss per common share:         
 As reported        (0.24) 
 Pro Forma        (0.30) 

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of each individual issuance of options with the following assumptions used for grants during the year ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005. The per-share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $.46, $.76, and $.43, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions for the years ended December 31:

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

A. The Company leases various facilities under operating lease agreements expiring through September 2008. Rental expense for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 was $73,340, $62,115, and $39,708, respectively. Future minimum annual lease payments under the facilities lease agreements for agreements lasting more than one year are as follows:

2008 $43,307

B. At the beginning of the third quarter 2007, the Company executed a research collaboration (the "Research Collaboration") with The Research Institute of McGill University Health Centre and Samaritan Therapeutics over a ten-year period through 2017. Samaritan Therapeutics is a 50% owned subsidiary of the Company. The budget is for $1,000,000 paid over four (4) quarterly payments of $250,000, is unallocated, and covers the general research and development effort. Under the Research Collaboration, the Company receives worldwide exclusive rights, excluding Canada, to any novel therapeutic agents or diagnostic technologies that may result from the Research Collaboration. Samaritan Therapeutics receives exclusive rights to the Canadian market to any novel therapeutic agents or diagnostic technologies that may result from the Research Collaboration.

C. The Company has no written employment agreement with the Dr. Janet Greeson and Mr. Eugene Boyle. Dr. Thomas Lang and Dr. Christos Dakas each have employment agreements negotiated at arm's length with the Compensation Committee, and each such agreement provides for a minimum annual base salary. In setting base salaries, the Board has considered (a) the contributions made by each executive to our Company, (b) compensation paid by peer companies to their executive officers and (c) outside compensation reports. In 2006, all executive officers received salary increases of approximately 5% reflecting competitive trends, general economic conditions as well as a number of factors relating to the particular individual, including the performance of the individual executive, and level of experience, ability and knowledge of the job.

The Compensation Committee also has the authority to award discretionary bonuses to our executive officers. The incentive bonuses are intended to compensate officers for achieving financial and operational goals and for achieving individual annual performance objectives. These objectives vary depending on the individual executive, but relate generally to strategic factors such as 1) initial signing of an employment agreement; 2) upon acceptance of filing of a new drug application by the FDA; 3) the FDA approval to move from one phase to the next phase in the FDA application process; 4) pharmaceutical sales goals achieved 5) completion of an in-licensing contract; 6) completion of an out-licensing contract; and 7) increases in market capitalization. The Compensation Committee did not make any cash bonuses to the executive officers in 2007.

F-19


The Company has terminated their Research Collaboration and Licensing Agreement “the Agreement” with Georgetown University “Georgetown” effective with the principal investigator becoming employed with another institution in July 2007. The Company and Georgetown remain in dispute over the termination process of this Agreement, as Georgetown has alleged additional monies due under the Agreement. The Company disputes any additional monies due. No accrual for any alleged additional monies has been made as of December 31, 2007, as it is managements’ position that there are no additional monies due to Georgetown under the Agreement.

NOTE 9 - RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Research and development costs consist of the costs associated with our research activities, as well as the costs associated with our drug discovery efforts, conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings. Our research and development expenses consist of:

-external research and development expenses incurred under agreements with third-party contract research organizations and investigative sites, third-party manufacturing organizations and consultants; -employee-related expenses, which include salaries and benefits for the personnel involved in our drug discovery and development activities.

We use our employees across multiple research projects, including our drug development programs. We track direct expenses related to our clinical programs on a per project basis. Accordingly, we allocate internal employee-related, as well as third-party costs, to each clinical program. We do not allocate expenses related to preclinical programs.

The following table summarizes our principal product development programs, including the related stages of development for each product candidate in development and the research and development expenses allocated to each clinical product candidate. The information in the column labeled "Estimated Completion of Current Trial" is our estimate of the timing of completion of the current clinical trial or trials for the particular product candidate. The actual timing of completion could differ materially from the estimates provided in the table.

**On March 28, 2007, Samaritan entered into an agreement in which Pharmaplaz will bear the expense of the development of SP-01A going forward.

The Company and Samaritan Therapeutics, Canada, has signed a Research Collaboration and Licensing Agreement with The Research Institute of McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) in Montreal, Canada, to advance its promising pipeline into clinical trial status and develop new innovative drug candidates. Once drug candidates, derived from the collaborative research, are clinically-validated and deemed to hold promise, Samaritan Therapeutics will continue to develop the drug candidate in Canada, while Samaritan Pharmaceuticals will focus on the drug candidate's process through regulatory agencies and its commercialization throughout the rest of the world. The current budget is for $1,000,000 paid over four (4) quarterly payments of $250,000, is unallocated, and covers the general research and development effort. Going forward, this budget may increase or decrease depending upon changes in future research and development and other factors. This collaboration is also entitled to participate in the SR&ED Program which gives the parties cash refunds and/or tax credits for their expenditures on eligible research and development work done in Canada. For 2007, the amount of cash refunds and/or tax credits reflected in the above calculations was $250,000.

The successful development of our product candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing and estimated costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the remainder of the development of, or the period, if any, in which material net cash inflows may commence from, SP-01A or any of our preclinical product candidates. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing drugs, including the uncertainty of:

-the scope, rate of progress and expense of our clinical trials and other research and development activities;

F-20


-the potential benefits of our product candidates over other therapies;

-our ability to market, commercialize and achieve market acceptance for any of our product candidates that we are developing or may develop in the future; -future clinical trial results; -the terms and timing of regulatory approvals; and -the expense of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights.

A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of a product candidate could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate. For example, if the FDA or other regulatory authority were to require us to conduct clinical trials beyond those which we currently anticipate will be required for the completion of clinical development of a product candidate or if we experience significant delays in enrollment in any of our clinical trials, we could be required to expend significant additional financial resources and time on the completion of clinical development.

NOTE 10 - LITIGATION

Samaritan, from time to time, is involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business.

NOTE 11 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the ordinary course of business, we entered into transactions with Clay County Holdings (`CCH'). These transactions include loans made to and from CCH. In the past, CCH had made a loan to Samaritan which Samaritan paid off in 2003. During 2004, Samaritan created a notes receivable with CCH for $250,000 which amount bears interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. The note receivable is secured by pledge of common stock in Samaritan owned by CCH. A Director of the Company is the Chairman of the Board of Nevada Gold and Casinos but is not a shareholder of CCH. The CEO and CFO of the Company are mother and son.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board agreed to loan the Company $250,000 and $50,000 on July 16, 2007and September 18, 2007 respectively for an aggregate of $300,000 on a short-term basis pursuant to the terms of promissory notes from the Company and in favor of the Lender (the "Notes"). Proceeds from each of the loans funded the Company's continuing operating expenses, ongoing expenses, legal and accounting fees, as well as for working capital and other contingencies. Under the terms of the Notes issued by the Company to the Lender, the Company will: (i) pay interest to the Lender 16% interest annually and 100% warrant coverage. The principal and interest due on the Notes are due on demand. The Notes will be repaid from proceeds of any subsequent financing arrangement to which the Company becomes a party or from the cash flow from the Company's operations.

NOTE 12 - OTHER INCOME

In the December 31, 2004 financial statements, other income consists of the return of 250,000 shares of common stock that had been issued as compensation to a consultant in a prior year. The shares were returned due to the fact that the services were not performed. The shares were valued at their original issuance value, $231,350.

NOTE 13 - FUSION TRANSACTION

On May 12, 2005, The Company entered into the Purchase Agreement II with Fusion Capital, pursuant to which Fusion Capital agreed to purchase our Common Stock from time to time, at our option, up to an aggregate amount of $40,000,000 over fifty (50) months commencing December 29, 2005, which is the date the SEC declared effective our Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (Commission Registration No. 051267250). Samaritan filed a post effective amendment on Form S-1 to the above Registration Statement (Commission Registration No. 07556090) on January 9, 2007, which was declared effective on February 6, 2007. As of December 31, 2007, the Company has decided to close the Registration Statement (Commission Registration No. 07556090) and will not register additional shares of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement II with Fusion Capital.

NOTE 14 - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Marketability of the product is dependent, among other things, upon securing additional capital to successfully complete the clinical testing of the product, securing FDA approval, and procurement of viable patents.

Section 9. Proxies.

     At any meeting of the stockholders, any stockholder may be represented and vote by a proxy or proxies appointed by an instrument in writing. In the event that such instrument in writing shall designate two or more persons to act as proxies, a majority of such persons present at the meeting, or, if only one shall be present, then that one shall have and may exercise all of the powers conferred by such written instrument upon all of the persons so designated unless the instrument shall otherwise provide. No such proxy shall be valid after the expiration of six (6) months from the date of its execution, unless coupled with an interest, or unless the person executing it specifies therein the length of time for which it is to continue in force, which in no case shall exceed seven (7) years from the date of its execution. Subject to the above, any proxy duly executed is not revoked and continues in full force and effect until (i) an instrument revoking it or duly executed proxy bearing a later date is filed with the secretary of the Corporation or, (ii) the person executing the proxy attends such meeting and votes the shares subject to the proxy, or (iii) written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of such proxy is received by the Corporation before the vote pursuant thereto is counted. At no time shall any proxy be valid which shall be filed less than ten (10) hours before the commencement of the meeting.

Section 10.

Action by Written Consent.

     Any action, except election of directors, which may be taken by a vote of the stockholders at a meeting, may be taken without a meeting and without notice if authorized by the written consent of stockholders holding at least ninety percent (90%) of the voting power.

Section 11.

Inspectors of Election.

     In advance of any meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors may appoint inspectors of election to act at such meeting and any adjournment thereof. If inspectors of election are not so appointed, or if any persons so appointed fail to appear or refuse to act, then, unless other persons are appointed by the Board of Directors prior to the meeting, the chairman of any such meeting may, and on the request of any stockholder or a stockholder proxy shall, appoint inspectors of election (or persons to replace those who fail to appear or refuse to act) at the meeting. The number of inspectors shall not exceed three.


     The duties of such inspectors shall include: (a) determining the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies; (b) receiving votes, ballots or consents; (c) hearing and determining all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote; (d) counting and tabulating all votes or consents and determining the result; and (e) taking such other action as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders. In the determination of the validity and effect of proxies, the dates contained on the forms of proxy shall presumptively determine the order of execution of the proxies, regardless of the postmark dates on the envelopes in which they are mailed. The inspectors of election shall perform their duties impartially, in good faith, to the best of their ability and as expeditiously as is practical. If there are three inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

Section 12.

Action at Meetings of Stockholders.

     No business may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders, other than business that is either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (c) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by any stockholder of the Corporation (i) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 12 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 12.

     In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business properly to be brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Chairman of the Board, if any, the President, or the Secretary of the Corporation.

     To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than one hundred twenty (120) days nor more than one hundred fifty (150) days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within thirty (30) days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be so received not later than the 5:00 o'clock, p.m., Las Vegas, Nevada time on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs.


     To be in proper written form, a stockholder's notice must set forth as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and record address of such stockholder, (iii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder, (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder and any material interest of such stockholder in such business and (v) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting.

     No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of stockholders except business brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 12, provided, however, that, once business has been brought properly before the annual meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Section 12 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any such business. If the Chairman of an annual meeting determines that business was not brought properly before the annual meeting in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the Chairman shall declare to the meeting that the business was not brought properly before the meeting and such business shall not be transacted.

ARTICLE V

STOCK AND STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1. Certificates of Stock.

     Shares of the capital stock of the Corporation may be certificated or uncertificated, as provided under the Nevada Revised Statues. Each stockholder, upon written request to the transfer agent or registrar of the Corporation, shall be entitled to a certificate of the capital stock of the Corporation in such form as may from time to time be prescribed by the Board of Directors. Such certificate shall bear the Corporation seal and shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board of the President or a Vice President and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. The Corporation seal and the signatures by corporation officers may be facsimiles if the certificate is manually countersigned by an authorized person on behalf of a transfer agent or registrar other than the Corporation or its employee. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such officer, transfer agent or registrar were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the time of its issue. Every certificate for shares of stock which are subject to any restriction on transfer and every certificate issued when the Corporation is authorized to issue more than one class or series of stock shall contain such legend with respect thereto as is required by law.

Section 2. Facsimile Signatures.

     Whenever any certificate is countersigned or otherwise authenticated by a transfer agent or transfer clerk, and by a registrar, then a facsimile of the signatures of the officers of the Corporation may be printed or lithographed upon such certificate in lieu of the actual signatures. In case any officer or officers who shall have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the Corporation, before such certificates shall have been delivered by the Corporation, such certificates may nevertheless be issued as though the person or persons who signed such certificates, had not ceased to be an officer of the Corporation.

Section 3. Lost Certificates.

     The Board of Directors may direct a new stock certificate to be issued in place of any certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed, and may require the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the stock certificate to be lost or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent, require the owner of the lost or destroyed certificate to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed.

Section 4. Transfer of Stock.

     Upon surrender to the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed for transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books.


Section 5. Record Date.

     The directors may fix a date not more than sixty (60) days prior to the holding of any meeting as the date as of which stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting shall be determined; and only stockholders of record on such day shall be entitled to notice or to vote at such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors (a) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the sixtieth (60th) day preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (b) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to give consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board has been taken, shall be the day on which the first written consent is given; and (c) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto, or the sixtieth (60th) day prior to the date of such action, whichever is later. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, but the Board of Directors shall fix a new record date if the meeting is adjourned for more than forty-five (45) days from the date set for the original meeting.

Section 6. Registered Stock.

     The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the statutes of Nevada.

Section 7. Dividends.

     In the event a dividend is declared, the stock transfer books will not be closed but a record date will be fixed by the Board of Directors and only shareholders of record on that date shall be entitled to the dividend.


ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 1. Indemnity of Directors, Officers and Agents.

     The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation or is serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise or by reason of actions alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer. The indemnification of directors and officers by the Corporation shall be to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law, as such law exists or may hereafter be amended (but only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior to the amendment). The indemnification of directors and officers shall be against all loss, liability and expense (including attorneys fees, costs, damages, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and ERISA excise taxes or penalties) actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of a director or officer in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, including any appeals; provided, however, that with respect to any action, suit or proceeding initiated by a director or officer, the Corporation shall indemnify such director or officer only if the action, suit or proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the Corporation, except with respect to a suit for the enforcement of rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses in accordance with Section 3 hereof.

Section 2. Expenses.

     The expenses of directors and officers incurred as a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative shall be paid by the Corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that if applicable law so requires, the advance payment of expenses shall be made only upon receipt by the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay all amounts as advanced in the event that it is ultimately determined by a final decision, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Article VI.


Section 3. Enforcement.

     Any director or officer may enforce his or her rights to indemnification or advance payments for expenses in a suit brought against the Corporation if his or her request for indemnification or advance payments for expenses is wholly or partially refused by the Corporation or if there is no determination with respect to such request within 60 days from receipt by the Corporation of a written notice from the director or officer for such a determination. If a director or officer is successful in establishing in a suit his or her entitlement to receive or recover an advancement of expenses or a right to indemnification, in whole or in part, he or she shall also be indemnified by the Corporation for costs and expenses incurred in such suit. It shall be a defense to any such suit (other than a suit brought to enforce a claim for the advancement of expenses under Section 2 of this Article VI where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth in the Nevada General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the Corporation to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct nor a determination by the Corporation that the director or officer has not met such applicable standard of conduct shall be a defense to the suit or create a presumption that the director or officer has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In a suit brought by a director or officer to enforce a right under this Section 3 or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that a director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified or is not entitled to an advancement of expenses under this Section 3 or otherwise, shall be on the Corporation.

Section 4. Non-exclusivity.

     The right to indemnification and to the payment of expenses as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding shall not be exclusive of any other right to which a person may be entitled under these articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, statute, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The right to indemnification under Section 1 hereof shall continue for a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators and legal representatives.

Section 5. Settlement.

     The Corporation shall not be obligated to reimburse the amount of any settlement unless it has agreed to such settlement. If any person shall unreasonably fail to enter into a settlement of any action, suit or proceeding within the scope of Section 1 hereof, offered or assented to by the opposing party or parties and which is acceptable to the Corporation, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, the indemnification obligation of the Corporation in connection with such action, suit or proceeding shall be limited to the total of the amount at which settlement could have been made and the expenses incurred by such person prior to the time the settlement could reasonably have been effected.


Section 6. Purchase of Insurance.

     The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article VI.

Section 7. Conditions.

     The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation or to any director, officer, employee or agent of any of its subsidiaries to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VI subject to the imposition of any conditions or limitations as the Board of Directors may deem necessary or appropriate.

ARTICLE VII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Except as provided below, shares of this Corporation owned by any subsidiary of this Corporation shall not be entitled to vote on any matter. Shares of this Corporation held by this Corporation in a fiduciary capacity and shares of this Corporation held in a fiduciary capacity by any subsidiary of this Corporation, shall not be entitled to vote on any matter, except to the extent that the settler or beneficial owner possesses and exercises a right to vote or to give this Corporation or such subsidiary binding instructions as to how to vote such shares. Solely for purposes of Section 1 of this Article VII, a "subsidiary" of this Corporation shall mean a Corporation, shares of which possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the power to vote for the election of directors at the time determination of such voting power is made, are owned directly, or indirectly through one or more subsidiaries, by this Corporation.

Section 2. Interpretation.

     Unless the context of a Section of these Bylaws otherwise requires, the terms used in these Bylaws shall have the meanings provided in, and these Bylaws shall be construed in accordance with the Nevada statutes relating to private corporations, as found in Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes or any subsequent statute.


ARTICLE VIII

         SAMARITAN shall transfer to ABIOGEN, or to a third party designated by ABIOGEN, the 
         Registration relating to the PRODUCT in each country of the Territory within thirty (30) days from 
         ABIOGEN’s request, at ABIOGEN’s expense. In such a case SAMARITAN will have the only right

     provided, however, that SAMARITAN’s failure to advise ABIOGEN in a timely manner that a 
     shipment of the PRODUCT does not conform shall not prejudice SAMARITAN’s right to 
     subsequently reject or return such PRODUCT if the defect or other non-conforming condition which 
     justifies rejection could not reasonably have been detected by an inspection in accordance with cGMP 
     standards. If any PRODUCT is appropriately rejected by SAMARITAN, ABIOGEN shall promptly 
     replace such PRODUCT with conforming goods within sixty (60) days. Such replacement 
     PRODUCT shall be delivered to SAMARITAN at no cost to SAMARITAN. Alternatively, at

  will be qualified to supply the PRODUCT with the Regulatory Authorities at ABIOGEN’s expense).

  accountant shall not disclose to ABIOGEN any information relating to the business of SAMARITAN 
  including the identity of any customers of SAMARITAN other than to indicate whether and to what 
  extent any reporting by SAMARITAN pursuant to Article 9.5 is inaccurate. SAMARITAN shall be

9.6.   Where required by law, SAMARITAN shall have the right to withhold applicable taxes from any 
  payments made by SAMARITAN to ABIOGEN pursuant to this Agreement (whether such obligation

  made by SAMARITAN to ABIOGEN pursuant hereto or otherwise). However, even if SAMARITAN 
  does not withhold taxes from any payment, ABIOGEN remains liable for all such taxes, if the
