PHYTOMEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2009
 (Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
(Unaudited)

Note 1.  Organization and Nature of Operations

PhytoMedical Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 25, 2001; and together with its wholly owned subsidiaries PhytoMedical Technologies Corporation (“PhytoMedical Corp.”), PolyPhenol Technologies Corporation (“PolyPhenal”) and PhytoMedical Technologies Ltd. (“PhytoMedical Ltd.”) is a pharmaceutical company focused on research, development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products.  PhytoMedical Corp. was incorporated on March 10, 2004 in the State of Nevada and has no assets and liabilities. PolyPhenal was incorporated on August 24, 2004 in the State of Nevada and has no assets and liabilities.  PhytoMedical Ltd. was incorporated on April 11, 2007 in the Province of British Columbia, Canada for providing administrative services to the Company’s Canada office.  The Company ceased to conduct business in Canada on August 31, 2008 and closed this office. As a result, the Company dissolved PhytoMedical Ltd. and eliminated all intercompany balances, effective January 1, 2009.

PhytoMedical Technologies, Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, is a pharmaceutical company focused on research, development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products.  

Note 2.  Going Concern Uncertainties

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has incurred cumulative losses of $26,773,400 through March 31, 2009, does not have positive cash flows from operating activities, and had negative working capital of $500,497 as of March 31, 2009.  Additionally, the Company has expended a significant amount of cash in developing its technology.  The Company faces all the risks common to companies that are relatively new, including under capitalization and uncertainty of funding sources, high initial expenditure levels, uncertain revenue streams, and difficulties in managing growth. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management recognizes that in order to meet the Company’s capital requirements, and continue to operate, additional financing will be necessary.  The Company expects to raise additional funds through private or public equity investments in order to expand the range and scope of its business operations. The Company will seek access to private or public equity but there is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company to finance its operations on acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or generate positive cash flow, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which will be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Note 3.  Presentation of Interim Information

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q instructions and in the opinion of management of PhytoMedical Technologies, Inc., include all adjustments (of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and the related results of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. These results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and practices in the United States and applied consistently with those used in the preparation of the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the quarterly financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto incorporated by reference in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement 157” (FSP 157-2), which allows for the deferral of the adoption date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company was required to adopt SFAS 157 for the assets and liabilities within the scope of FSP 157-2 on January 1, 2009.  The adoption of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities and the adoption of SFAS 157 for those assets and liabilities not subject to the deferral permitted by FSP 157-2 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  In October 2008, the FASB issued SFAS Staff Position No. 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That Is Not Active” (FSP 157-3), which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 when the market for a financial asset is inactive. The guidance in FSP 157-3 was effective immediately and did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 
In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position EITF 03-06-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (FSP EITF 03-06-1). FSP EITF 03-06-1 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method in SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.”   FSP EITF 03-06-1 must be adopted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2008.  FSP EITF 03-06-1 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No 51” (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, changes in a parent’s ownership of a noncontrolling interest, calculation and disclosure of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest and fair value measurement of any retained noncontrolling equity investment. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. SFAS 160 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141R), which establishes principles and requirements for the reporting entity in a business combination, including recognition and measurement in the financial statements of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 141R did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 4.  Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  As the Company had a net loss in each of the periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same.

Excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, because their effect would be antidilutive, are stock options and warrants to acquire 12,897,081 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.42 per share.

For purposes of earnings per share computations, shares of common stock that are issuable at the end of a reporting period are included as outstanding.

Following is the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:

Note 6.  Iowa State University Research Foundation License Agreement

On June 12, 2006, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, PolyPhenol Technologies Corporation, entered into an exclusive license agreement with Iowa State University Research Foundation Inc. (“ISURF”) to develop, market and distribute novel synthesized compounds derived from type A-1 polyphenols, which have been linked to insulin sensitivity by the USDA's Agricultural Research Service.  On January 6, 2009, the Company gave written notice to ISURF terminating the License Agreement between the Company and ISURF. The termination is effective April 6, 2009.  

Under terms of the license agreement, the Company had to pay ISURF license fees, of which $20,000 was payable (paid) within 30 days of execution of the agreement, $50,000 was payable upon completion of the first successful Phase 2 clinical trial and the remaining $250,000 was payable upon first approval by the regulatory authority on new drug application. The Company also had to reimburse ISURF the cost incurred for filing, prosecuting and maintaining the licensed patents together with 15% of the said costs, not exceeding $10,000, as the administration fee.

Upon written notice of termination of the license agreement to ISURF on January 6, 2009, the Company was current with respect to all contractual obligations owed to ISURF pursuant to the license agreement.

As of March 31, 2009, the Company had paid a total of $20,000 to ISURF for the license fee and $31,223 for reimbursement of patent costs and research expenses as per agreement with ISURF, none of which is included in research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Note 8.  Dartmouth Sponsored Research Agreement

On May 25, 2007, the Company entered into a Sponsored Research Agreement with Dartmouth College (“Dartmouth”), in the area of cancer research, specifically furthering research and development of anti-tumor bis-acridines.

Cancer Research

Dartmouth Sponsored Research Agreement

Pursuant to the Company’s Sponsored Research Agreement with Dartmouth College (“Dartmouth”), which was amended on October 1, 2008 extending it to September 30, 2009, it is synthesizing and testing a novel class of anti-cancer agents which have a ‘cytotoxic’ or poisonous affinity for cancer cells, and are designed to bind tightly to cancer cell DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the blueprint of life for the cancer cell. Previous studies conducted by Dartmouth using a leukemia mouse cell line, have demonstrated that such binding (or intercalation) should stop the replication of the DNA, and, ultimately, lead to the death of the cancer cell.  Following the preparation of starting materials, researchers will design, synthesize and test new examples of compounds known to bind to DNA, called bis-acridines; these bis-acridines will be tethered to the DNA with both flexible and semi-rigid linking chains.  If successfully synthesized, the compounds will be submitted for evaluation in human cancer cell lines.

Depending on research outcomes, the Company plans to fund various in vitro (test tube) and in vivo (animal) experiments that will involve the use of several commercially available human cancer cell lines covering key areas of concern such as glioblastoma (tumors related to the central nervous system, including but not limited to the brain, spinal cord and optic nerve), small cell lung, breast, kidney, pancreatic, and liver cancers.  The Company’s goal, based on the results of both the in vitro and in vivo tests, will involve identification of the key compound(s) that demonstrated the greatest anti-cancer activity per human cancer cell line.

On February 3, 2009, PhytoMedical Technologies, Inc. issued a news release to announce results from recent in vivo efficacy and toxicity tests where the Company’s patented anti-cancer compound was administered to specimens with difficult-to-treat human brain cancer (SF295 glioblastoma xenografts) and, according to researchers, proved to be least toxic and effective in controlling the growth of SF295 human glioblastoma xenografts.


Based on the results, the Company is currently creating an Intra Venous (IV) formulation to be tested in vivo for efficacy and toxicity.  Additionally the Company plans on conducting a pharmacologic study on the IV formulation.

Dartmouth granted the Company the option of a world-wide, royalty-bearing exclusive license to make, have made, use and sell in the field of oncology, the products embodying or produced through Dartmouth’s previous and future patents and through any joint-inventions related to the agreement, at reasonable terms and conditions as the parties may agree.

The Company will reimburse Dartmouth for all costs associated with obtaining and maintaining Dartmouth’s pre-existing patents related to the subject technology.

As of March 31, 2009, the Company has paid a total of $172,800 pursuant to the Sponsored Research Agreement with Dartmouth, of which $11,750 and $92,715 is included in research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Director fees – related party

Non-employee directors receive $250 per month for their services as directors plus $100 for each board meeting attended.

The decrease in director fees is partially the result of a former director who resigned in September 2007 receiving $850 in January 2008 for services rendered as a non-employee director during fiscal year 2007.  In addition, the three months ended March 31, 2008 includes $750 for director fees that were earned during the quarter ended December 31, 2007. The amount was not deemed significant to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

 
Investor relations

Investor relations costs represent fees paid to publicize the Company’s technology within the investor community with the purpose of increasing company recognition and branding, and to facilitate the efforts to raise funds in equity or debt financings.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company ramped up its production of newsletters, analyst coverage, and information distribution to the investor community as a result of technological advances made pursuant to the Sponsored Research Agreement with Dartmouth at the end of the fiscal year 2007 and the beginning of the fiscal year 2008, resulting in significant investor relations expense during the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Wages and benefits

During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred $67,905 and $66,897 in cash wages and benefits expense for services rendered by Mr. Greg Wujek, the President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director of the Company.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company also recorded $13,624 in stock based compensation expense related to the amortization of a stock option previously granted to Mr. Wujek to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.52 per share, which is included in wages and benefits.
 
Research and development

Research and development costs represent costs incurred to develop the Company’s technologies and are incurred pursuant to the Company’s sponsored research agreements with Dartmouth, ISU, Ricerca, and other third party contract research organizations. The sponsored research agreements include salaries and benefits for research and development personnel, allocated overhead and facility occupancy costs, contract services and other costs. The Company charges all research and development expenses to operations as they are incurred, except for prepayments which are capitalized and amortized over the applicable period.

Following is a summary of research and development expense incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:

Professional fees

Professional fees substantially consist of accounting fees, audit and tax fees, legal fees, and SEC related filing costs.

Professional fees increased $22,913 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 substantially due to an increase in accounting, audit and tax fees of approximately $15,200 and an increase in legal fees of approximately $8,400.  This increase is partially the result of the Company closing its administrative office in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, effective August 31, 2008, terminating all of the employees in Vancouver, Canada.  Due to this downsizing, as of September 1, 2008, the Company began outsourcing its accounting function to third parties resulting in an increase in accounting fees.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses include travel and entertainment, rent, office supplies, printing and mailing, information technology related fees and other administrative costs.

Other operating expenses decreased $58,254 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 substantially due to decreases in travel and entertainment of $26,456, office supplies, printing and mailing of $12,842, rent of $5,317, and office repair and maintenance of $6,670, as a result of the Company closing its administrative office in Vancouver, Canada, effective August 31, 2008.

Interest income

As a result of the Company closing its administrative office in Vancouver, Canada, effective August 31, 2008 and the dissolution of PhytoMedical Technologies Ltd., the Company closed its interest bearing bank account on December 31, 2008.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased $10,578 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 as a result of the Company repaying the principal balance of $250,000 of a note payable in February 2008.

Loss on dissolution of foreign subsidiary

PhytoMedical Technologies Ltd. (“PhytoMedical Ltd.”) provided administrative services to the Company’s Canadian office. The Company ceased to conduct business in Canada, effective August 31, 2008 and closed this office. As a result, the Company dissolved PhytoMedical Ltd. and eliminated all intercompany balances.  In accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”, the Company recorded a loss on its investment in PhytoMedical Ltd. equal to the accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2008, the time of the dissolution.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has incurred cumulative losses of $26,773,400 through March 31, 2009, does not have positive cash flows from operating activities, and had negative working capital of $500,497 as of March 31, 2009.  Additionally, the Company has expended a significant amount of cash in developing its technology.  The Company faces all the risks common to companies that are relatively new, including under capitalization and uncertainty of funding sources, high initial expenditure levels, uncertain revenue streams, and difficulties in managing growth. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management recognizes that in order to meet the Company’s capital requirements, and continue to operate, additional financing will be necessary.  The Company expects to raise additional funds through private or public equity investments in order to expand the range and scope of its business operations. The Company will seek access to private or public equity but there is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company to finance its operations on acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or generate positive cash flow, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company's principal source of liquidity is cash in the bank.  At March 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $534,036. The Company has financed its operations primarily from funds received pursuant to a private placement completed by the Company in September 2007, raising net proceeds of $3,109,500.

Net cash used in operating activities was $131,797 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $782,753 for the same period in 2008.  The decrease of $650,956 in cash used was substantially due to decreases in investor relations expense of $422,530, research and development expense of $130,929, and other operating expenses of $58,254 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 2008.  See “Results of Operations” above for further discussion regarding the decrease in these expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $2,300 during the same period in 2008.  During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company purchased $2,300 of equipment.


Net cash used in financing activities was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $250,000 for the same period in 2008.  During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company repaid $250,000 of the outstanding principal balance on its notes payable.
