Prospectus Summary
 
General

We are a Texas corporation formed in 1984, and are engaged in developing biologics for the treatment of human and animal diseases. We focus our research on human health indications for the use of low-dose orally administered natural human interferon alpha, particularly for Behcet’s disease and oral warts in HIV+ patients.

We own or have licensed twelve issued United States patents relating to the use or composition of low-dose oral natural interferon alpha and one patent on the dose formulation of our dietary supplement. We have filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), and there now are in effect, six Investigational New Drug (“IND”) Applications covering indicated uses for low-dose oral interferon alpha, including treatment of Behcet’s disease, oral warts in HIV+ patients, chronic cough and hepatitis C virus infection.


Our Corporate Information

Amarillo Biosciences, Inc. was incorporated in June 1984 in the State of Texas under the name of Amarillo Cell Culture Company, Incorporated. In May 1996, we changed our name to Amarillo Biosciences, Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at 4134 Business Park Drive, Amarillo, Texas 79110. Our Telephone number is (806) 376-1741. Our website address is www.amarbio.com. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not part of the prospectus.
About This Offering

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated January 8, 2008, as amended on February 14, 2008, we issued to Firebird Global Master Fund Ld. (“Firebird”) in a private placement 1,000 shares of our Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $1,000,000. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 4,000,000 shares of our Common Stock. We also issued to Firebird a Warrant to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of our common stock exercisable at a price of $0.30 per share, for a term of five years (“Series A Warrants”).
 
Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends, payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1, at the rate per share (as a percentage of stated value) of 10% per annum. Dividends are payable, at the discretion of the Company, in cash or common stock, valued at 90% of the average of the two lowest volume weighted average prices for the 5 five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the dividend payment date.
 
On April 1, 2008, in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, we issued to Firebird, as a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock, 84,198 shares of our common stock, valued at $23,025.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement entered into in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, we are required to file a registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Warrants, and issuable as dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, in an amount permissible under Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by April 25, 2008, and to use our best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the Commission by August 23, 2008. In the event that the registration statement is not timely filed or declared effective, we will be subject to liquidated damages.

This prospectus includes the (i) 4,000,000 shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock issued to Firebird, (ii) 4,000,000 shares issuable upon exercise of Series A Warrants issued to Firebird, and (iii) 84,198 shares of common stock issued to Firebird as a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock. These 8,084,198 shares represent 32.99% of the shares held by stockholders other than officers, directors and affiliates (the “public float”).

We also issued to MidSouth Capital Markets Group, Inc. (“MidSouth”), the selling/placement agent in the private placement, warrants to purchase 640,000 shares of our common stock on the same terms and conditions as the warrants issued to Firebird. The warrants were issued to MidSouth pursuant to an agreement entered into with MidSouth in September 2007 to engage MidSouth to act as our placement agent in connection with a future private placement. Pursuant to the agreement, MidSouth was to receive for its services a warrant to purchase shares of our common stock equal to 8% of the number of common shares to be issued on an as converted basis in the private placement, with an exercise price of $.30 per share and exercisable for 5 years from the date of issuance. The 640,000 shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued to MidSouth represent 2.61% of the “public float” of the Company. These 640,000 shares are included in this prospectus.

In connection with this prospectus, we are also registering 1,300,000 shares of our common stock issuable to shareholders who hold certain piggyback rights to register their previously restricted stock. These shares represent 5.30% of the “public float” of the Company. 1,100,000 of these shares are being registered pursuant to certain consultant stock option agreements entered into by the Company with Commonwealth Associates, LP (“Commonwealth”) and Teel Bivins (“Bivins”) on July 18, 2007 and June 21, 2006 with exercise prices of $0.20 and $0.87, respectively. 200,000 of these shares are being registered pursuant to a warrant agreement in connection with an investor direct marketing service agreement entered into by the Company and Marks Value Partners LLC (“MVP”) on June 27, 2006. The warrants issued pursuant to the warrant agreement are initially exercisable at $2.00 (the “MVP Warrants”).

Estimated use of proceeds

This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any of the proceeds resulting from the sale of the shares held by the selling stockholders. We will receive the sale price of any common stock we sell to the selling stockholders upon exercise of  the Series A Warrants. If all of the Series A Warrants are exercised for cash we will receive $1,392,000. We expect to use the proceeds received from the exercise of Series A Warrants , if any, for general working capital purposes. However, the selling stockholder is entitled to exercise the Series A Warrants on a cashless basis commencing one year after their initial issuance, if the shares of common stock underlying the Series A Warrants are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. In the event that the selling stockholder exercises the Series A Warrants on a cashless basis, we will not receive any proceeds.
 
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock underlying the MVP Warrants and stock options issued to Commonwealth and Bivins. We will receive gross proceeds of $200,000 and $87,000 upon exercise of the stock options and $400,000 upon exercise of the MVP Warrants.

Summary of the Shares offered by the Selling Shareholders.

The following is a summary of the shares being offered by the selling shareholders:

 RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in the section of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

We may not be able to adequately protect and maintain our intellectual property.
 
Our success will depend in part on our ability to protect and maintain our patents, intellectual property rights and licensing arrangements for our products and technology. We currently own four patents and license ten patents. No assurance can be given that such licenses or rights used by us will not be challenged, infringed or circumvented or that the rights granted thereunder will provide competitive advantages to us. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will be able to remain in compliance with our existing or future licensing arrangements. Consequently, there may be a risk that licensing arrangements are withdrawn with no penalties to the licensee or compensation to us.

We rely on third parties for the supply, manufacture and distribution of our products.
 
Third parties manufacture and distribute all of our products. We do not currently have manufacturing facilities or personnel to independently manufacture our products. Currently, Marlyn Nutraceutical manufactures our nutraceutical products. Our licensed distributors, located in the United States and internationally, distribute the products. Except for any contractual rights and remedies that we may have with our manufacturer and our distributors, we have no control over the availability of our products, their quality or cost or the actual distribution of our products. If for any reason we are unable to obtain or retain third-party manufacturers and distributors on commercially acceptable terms, we may not be able to produce and distribute our products as planned. If we encounter delays or difficulties with our contract manufacturer in producing or packaging our products or with our distributor in distributing our products, the production, distribution, marketing and subsequent sales of these products would be adversely affected, and we may have to seek alternative sources of supply or distribution or abandon or sell product lines on unsatisfactory terms. We may not be able to enter into alternative supply, production or distribution arrangements on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There can be no assurance that the manufacturer that we have engaged will be able to provide sufficient quantities of these products or that the products supplied will meet with our specifications or that our distributor will be able to distribute our products in accordance with our requirements.

We are dependant on funding from private placements of stock.
 
Our sales revenue, sublicense fees and royalty income are low compared to expenses. Our primary focus is to achieve FDA approval of oral interferon for one or more disease indications. We do not expect significant sales or royalty revenue in the near term as Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical studies must be completed before a NDA (New Drug Application) may be submitted to the FDA. We operate at a net loss and current liabilities exceed current assets mostly by the amount owed to HBL for two $1 million notes plus $682,773 of accrued interest on December 31, 2007. HBL was paid $200,000 of accrued interest in January of 2008 and extended the notes and remaining accrued interest until June 3, 2008 and August 28, 2008. HBL will extend the notes and accrued interest until December 3, 2009 and February 28, 2010 if payment of $145,000 of accrued interest is received by August 31, 2008. We do not have sufficient liquidity to pay off the notes or to fund operating losses unless funding is obtained from private placements of stock. There can be no assurance that private placement funding will always be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
 
3


We are dependent on certain key existing and future personnel.
 
Our success will depend, to a large degree, upon the efforts and abilities of our officers and key management employees such as Joseph M. Cummins, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Gary W. Coy, our Chief Financial Officer, and Martin J. Cummins, our Vice President of Clinical and Regulatory Affairs. The loss of the services of one or more of our key employees could have a material adverse effect on our operations. We do currently have employment agreements with our executive officers. We do not currently maintain key man life insurance on any of our key employees. In addition, as our business plan is implemented, we will need to recruit and retain additional management and key employees in virtually all phases of our operations. We cannot assure that we will be able to successfully attract and retain key personnel.

If we do not successfully develop, acquire or license new drugs our business may not grow.
 
We must invest substantial time, resources and capital in identifying and developing new drugs, dosage and delivery systems, either on our own or by acquiring and licensing such products from third parties. Our growth depends, in part, on our success in such process. If we are unable to either develop new products on our own or acquire licenses for new products from third parties, our ability to grow revenues and market share may be adversely affected. In addition, we may not be able to recover our investment in the development of new drugs, given that projects may be interrupted, unsuccessful, not as profitable as initially contemplated or we may not be able to obtain necessary financing for such development if we are unable to fund such development from our future revenues. Similarly, there is no assurance that we can successfully secure such rights from third parties on an economically feasible basis.   

Our competitors are much larger and more experienced than we are and, even if we complete the development of our drugs, we may not be able to successfully compete with them.

The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive.  Our biologics and low-dose oral interferon alpha applications compete with high dose injectable interferon manufactured by Roche, Schering, InterMune, Serono, Biogen, Berlex and Hemispherx. High dose injectable interferon has been widely accepted by the medical community for many years. Companies who manufacture injectable interferon alpha applications are more established than we are and have far greater financial, technical, research and development, sales and marketing, administrative and other resources than we do.  Even if we successfully complete the development of our tests, we may not be able to compete effectively with these much larger companies and their more established products.

We have been the subject of a going concern opinion by our independent auditors who have raised substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our Independent Registered Public Accountants have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit reports issued in connection with our consolidated financial statements which states that our recurring losses from operations and the need to raise additional financing in order to execute our business plan raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have experienced net losses from operations of $2,689,436 for the year ended December 31, 2006 and $2,418,316 for the year ended December 31, 2007. In addition, as of December 31, 2006 we had an accumulated deficit of $25,953,878 and $28,459,951 for the year ended December 31, 2007. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Assurances cannot be given that adequate financing can be obtained to meet our capital needs. If we are unable to generate profits and unable to continue to obtain financing to meet our working capital requirements, we may have to curtail our business sharply or cease operations altogether. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis to retain our current financing, to obtain additional financing, and, ultimately, to attain profitability. Should any of these events not occur, we will be adversely affected and we may have to cease operations.
 
Risk Relating to Our Current Financing Arrangement:

There are a large number of shares underlying our preferred stock and warrants that may be available for future sale, and the sale of these shares may depress the market price of our common stock.
 
As of April 15, 2008, we had 29,672,034  shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 1,000 shares of our 10% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. This prospectus covers 10,024,198 shares of common stock, including 4,000,000 shares underlying the Series A Preferred Stock, 4,640,000 shares underlying Series A Warrants, 1,300,000 shares underlying options and other warrants issued to certain of the selling stockholders, and 84,198 shares issued as a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock. The sale of these shares may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Risks Related to our Common Stock:

There is only a limited market for our common stock and the price of our common stock may be affected by factors that are unrelated to the performance of our business.

If any of the risks described in these Risk Factors or other unseen risks are realized, the market price of our common stock could be materially adversely affected.  Additionally, market prices for securities of biotechnology and diagnostic companies have historically been very volatile.  The market for these securities has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons that are unrelated to the operating performance of any one company.  In particular, and in addition to the other risks described elsewhere in these Risk Factors, the following factors can adversely affect the market price of our common stock:

·         announcements of technological innovation or improved or new diagnostic products by others;
·         general market conditions;
·         changes in government regulation or patent decisions;
·         changes in insurance reimbursement practices or policies for diagnostic products.

Our common shares have traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board at prices below $5.00 for several years.  As a result, our shares are characterized as “penny stocks” which could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock.

The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. Securities and Exchange Commission regulations generally define a penny stock to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  Such exceptions include any equity security listed on Nasdaq or a national securities exchange and any equity security issued by an issuer that has:

·         net tangible assets in excess of $2,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for three years;

·         net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years; or

·         average revenue of at least $6,000,000, for the last three years.

Unless an exception is available, the regulations require, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, that a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith is delivered to a prospective purchaser of the penny stock.  We currently do not qualify for an exception, and, therefore, our common stock is considered to be penny stock and is subject to these requirements.  The penny stock regulations adversely affect the market liquidity of our common shares by limiting the ability of broker/dealers to trade the shares and the ability of purchasers of our common shares to sell in the secondary market.  In addition, certain institutions and investors will not invest in penny stocks.

Future sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock by existing stockholders may lower the price of our common stock, which could result in losses to our stockholders.   

We estimate there that are approximately 14,000,000 restricted shares outstanding which, upon becoming freely tradable under Rule 144 or 144(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, may lower the price of our common stock.

This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any of the proceeds resulting from the sale of the shares by Firebird Global Master Fund, Ltd. (“Firebird”) or MidSouth’s assignees. We will receive the sale price of any common stock we sell to Firebird and MidSouth’s assignees upon exercise of the Series A Warrants. If all of the Series A Warrants are exercised for cash we will receive $1,392,000. We expect to use the proceeds received from the exercise of the Series A Warrants, if any, for general working capital purposes. However, Firebird and MidSouth’s assignees are entitled to exercise the Series A Warrants on a cashless basis commencing one year after their initial issuance, if the shares of common stock underlying the Series A Warrants are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. In the event that Firebird or MidSouth’s assignees exercise the Series A Warrants on a cashless basis, we will not receive any proceeds.
 
We will also not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock underlying the MVP Warrants and stock options issued to Commonwealth and Bivins. We will receive gross proceeds of $200,000 and $87,000 upon exercise of the stock options and $400,000 upon exercise of the MVP Warrants. There is no assurance that any of the stock options or MVP Warrants will be exercised.    
 
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
 
The following table details the name of each selling stockholder, the number of shares owned by that selling stockholder, and the number of shares that may be offered by each selling stockholder for resale under this prospectus.  The selling stockholders may sell up to 10,024,198  shares of our common stock from time to time in one or more offerings under this prospectus, including 9,940,000 shares which are issuable upon the conversion or exercise of preferred stock, stock options, or warrants held by certain selling stockholders, and 84,198 shares issued as dividends on outstanding preferred stock.  Because each selling stockholder may offer all, some or none of the shares it holds, and because, based upon information provided to us, there are currently no agreements, arrangements, or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares, no definitive estimate as to the number of shares that will be held by each selling stockholder after the offering can be provided. The following table has been prepared on the assumption that all shares offered under this prospectus will be sold to parties unaffiliated with the selling stockholders.

Securities Purchase Agreement

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of January 8, 2008, as amended on February 14, 2008, we sold to Firebird 1,000 shares of our Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock and received gross proceeds of $1,000,000. After deducting expenses of the private placement, we received net proceeds of approximately $847,668. In connection with this transaction we also issued to Firebird warrants to purchase 4,000,000 shares of our common stock at $.30 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the warrant (“Series A Warrants”). We also issued to MidSouth, the placement agent in the private placement, warrants to purchase 640,000 shares of our common stock on the same terms and conditions as the warrants issued to the purchasers. The warrants were issued to MidSouth pursuant to an agreement entered into with MidSouth in September 2007 to engage MidSouth to act as our placement agent in connection with a future private placement. Pursuant to the agreement, MidSouth was to receive for its services a warrant to purchase shares of our common stock equal to 8% of the number of common shares to be issued on an as converted basis in the private placement, with an exercise price of $.30 per share and exercisable for 5 years from the date of issuance. Upon exercise of the Series A Warrants issued to Firebird and MidSouth, we will receive net proceeds of $1,392,000. The issuance and sale of the securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement was made in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, of 1933, as amended and Regulation  D promulgated under the Securities Act. No form of general solicitation or general advertising was conducted in connection with the private placement.
 
Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock
 
2,500 shares of our preferred stock have been designated as Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”). We issued Firebird 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $1,000,000. Our Series A Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.01 per share, a stated value equal to $1,000, and a conversion price of $0.25.
 
Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends, payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1, at the rate per share (as a percentage of stated value) of 10% per annum. Dividends are payable, at the discretion of the Company, in cash or common stock, valued at 90% of the average of the two lowest volume weighted average prices for the 5 five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the dividend payment date..
 
The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion ratio determined by dividing the stated value by the conversion price.
 
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock have liquidation preferences over the holders of our common stock, and they shall be entitled to receive out of the Company’s assets an amount equal to the stated value (or ratable value, if our assets are insufficient), plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and any other fees or liquidated damages owing thereon, for each share of Preferred Stock.
 
The holders of Series A Preferred Stock have no voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, we shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Certificate of Designation for the stock, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a liquidation senior to or otherwise pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock, (c) amend its certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders, (d) increase the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
 
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are subject to the limitation that they shall not effect any conversion or convert any portion of the Series A Preferred Stock to the extent that, such conversion would result in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock on such date. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. The holder may however waive the conversion limitation in whole or in part upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to us.

Series A Warrants

In connection with the January private placement we issued warrants to purchase 4,640,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share, subject to adjustment. The warrants have a term of five years from the date of issuance. Under the terms of the warrants if at any time after one year from the issuance of the warrants there is not an effective registration statement registering, and no current prospectus available for resale of the warrants by the investor, the warrants may be exercised at such time by means of a cashless exercise, in which the holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of warrant shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
 
(A) = the VWAP (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) on the trading day immediately preceding the date of such election;

(B) = the exercise price of the warrant, as adjusted; and

(X) = the number of warrant shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant in accordance with the terms of the warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

In the event that:

 
·
we issue or sell or are deemed to have issued or sold any shares of our common stock other than certain excluded securities for a consideration that is less than the then current exercise price, then the current exercise price shall be adjusted to the lower exercise price;
 
9

 
 
 
·
we issue or sell any convertible securities (including options) that entitles any one to acquire shares of our common stock or common stock equivalents an effective price per share that is less than the then current exercise price (base share price), then the exercise price shall be reduced to equal such base shares price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants shall be increased such that the aggregate exercise price, after taking into account the decrease in the exercise price, shall be equal to the aggregate exercise price prior to such adjustment.

 
·
we: (A) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of our common stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of common stock, (B) subdivides outstanding shares of common stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issues by reclassification of shares of the common stock any shares of our capital stock, then in each case the exercise price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of common stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of common sock outstanding immediately after such event and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this warrant shall be proportionately adjusted.

Pursuant to the warrants no holder may exercise such holder’s warrant if such exercise would result in the holder beneficially owning in excess of 4.99% of our then issued and outstanding common stock. The beneficial ownership limitations provision of the warrants may be waived by the holder upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to us to change the beneficial ownership limitation to 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrant. If the beneficial ownership limitation is increased to 9.99% it may not be further waived.

Shares Being Registered Pursuant to Piggyback Rights

In connection with this prospectus, we are also registering 1,300,000 shares of our common stock to shareholders who hold certain piggyback rights to register their previously restricted stock. 1,100,000 of these shares are being registered pursuant to certain consultant stock option agreements entered into by the Company with Commonwealth and Bivins on July 18, 2007 and June 21, 2006 with exercise prices of $0.20 and $0.87, respectively. 200,000 of these shares are being registered pursuant to a warrant agreement in connection with an investor direct marketing service agreement entered into by the Company and MVP on June 27, 2006. MVP Warrants grant MVP an initial exercise price of $2.00.
 
Other than the transactions described above, there have not been any prior securities transaction between us (or any of our predecessors) and the selling shareholders, any affiliates of the selling shareholders, or any person with whom any selling shareholder has a contractual relationship regarding the transactions.

Short Positions by the Selling Shareholders

We are not aware of any short positions entered into by the Selling Shareholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each selling stockholder and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which our shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
 
·
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
 
·
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
 
·
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
 
·
privately negotiated transactions;
 
 
·
settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
 
 
·
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
10

 
 
·
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
 
 
·
a combination of any such methods of sale; or
 
 
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.
 
In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
 
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute our common stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).
 
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling stockholders.
 
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
 
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
General

We are a Texas corporation formed in 1984, and are engaged in developing biologics for the treatment of human and animal diseases. We focus our research on human health indications for the use of low-dose orally administered natural human interferon alpha, particularly for Behcet’s disease and oral warts in HIV+ patients.

We own or license twelve issued United States patents relating to the use or composition of low-dose oral natural interferon alpha and one patent on the dose formulation of our dietary supplement. We have filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), and there now are in effect, six Investigational New Drug (“IND”) Applications covering indicated uses for low-dose oral interferon alpha, including treatment of Behcet’s disease, oral warts in HIV+ patients, chronic cough and hepatitis C virus infection.

Our objective is to exploit our  proprietary technology to become a leader in the field of low-dose oral applications of interferon alpha. Our business strategy is to pursue those indications for low-dose oral interferon alpha treatment for which initial clinical research has indicated the treatment is efficacious and which, in our opinion, have the greatest commercial potential and are most likely to be approved by the FDA.

Flu viruses spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 days after becoming sick. That means that a person may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before they know they are sick, as well as while they are sick.  

Influenza A viruses are divided into subtypes based on 2 proteins on the surface of the virus: the hemagglutinin (H) and the neuraminidase (N). There are 16 different H subtypes and 9 different N subtypes, all of which have been found among influenza A viruses in wild birds. Wild birds are the primary natural reservoir for all subtypes of influenza A viruses and are thought to be the source of influenza A viruses in all other animals. Most influenza viruses cause asymptomatic or mild infection in birds; however, the range of symptoms in birds varies greatly depending on the strain of virus. Infection with certain avian influenza A viruses (for example, some strains of H5 and H7 viruses) can cause widespread disease and death among some species of wild and especially domestic birds such as chickens and turkeys.
 
Pigs can be infected with both human and avian influenza viruses in addition to swine influenza viruses. Infected pigs get symptoms similar to humans, such as cough, fever and runny nose. Because pigs are susceptible to avian, human and swine influenza viruses, they potentially may be infected with influenza viruses of different species (e.g., ducks and humans) at the same time. If this happens, it is possible for the genes of these viruses to mix and create a new virus. For example if a pig were infected with a human influenza virus and an avian influenza virus at the same time, the viruses could mix (reassort) and produce a new virus with most of the genes from the human virus, but a hemagglutinin and/or neuraminidase from the avian virus. The resulting new virus would likely to be able to infect humans and spread from person to person, but it would have surface proteins (hemagglutinin and/or neuraminidase) not previously seen in influenza viruses that infect humans. This type of major change in the influenza A viruses is known as antigenic shift. Antigenic shift results when a new influenza A subtype to which most people have little or no immune protection infects humans. If this new virus causes illness in people and can be transmitted easily from person to person, an influenza pandemic can occur.

Influenza A viruses are found in many different animals, including ducks, chickens, pigs, whales, horses and seals. Influenza B viruses circulate widely only among humans. While it is unusual for people to get influenza infections directly from animals, sporadic human infections and outbreaks caused by certain avian influenza A viruses have been reported.
 
A number of natural outbreak or challenge studies indicate that low doses of IFNα given orally and/or intranasally are safe and effective at treating human flu. IFNα administered intranasally coats the oropharynx and comes in contact with the same receptors as IFNα administered orally. Leukocyte interferon was given in low doses intranasally for 3 consecutive days to 374 subjects “at the height” of an influenza outbreak. Interferon-treated subjects had less severe illness than 382 subjects given placebo. When interferon was given to 320 subjects “before” the influenza outbreak, these subjects had less illness than the 317 subjects given placebo. It was reported that the interferon treatment was free of adverse events.
 
In 1969, approximately 14,000 people in Moscow participated in controlled studies of placebo versus interferon treatment during a natural outbreak of Hong Kong influenza. Interferon (about 128 units) or placebo was dripped into the nose daily for 5 days starting about the time of the first reported influenza cases. Interferon treatment significantly (P<0.01) reduced the number of influenza cases.

Intranasal drops of human interferon alpha (5,000 units daily) given for 4 months reduced the frequency and severity of diseases due to influenza A (H3N2 and H1N1) and parainfluenza virus. Data was collected on 83 volunteers in the study. Fever occurred in 6 of 40 volunteers given interferon and in 15 of 43 volunteers given placebo (P<0.01). Subjective symptoms such as headache, cough, fatigue, anorexia, myalgia, etc. occurred in 34% of volunteers given interferon and in 67% of volunteers given placebo (P<0.01).
 
In 1982, it was reported that human leukocyte interferon (10,000 units/day) or placebo was dripped into the nostrils of 27 children daily for 60 days. The children lived in an orphanage where natural outbreaks of influenza A and influenza B occurred during the treatment period. Interferon did not prevent illness but significantly reduced the duration of fever and reduced the main peak fever. Clinical manifestations of influenza were milder in children given interferon compared to placebo. Adverse events due to interferon therapy were not observed.26
 
During influenza epidemics in 1983, 1984 and 1985, 140 children were treated with a spray of natural human interferon alpha into the nose and mouth twice daily for 3-4 days. The total daily dose was reported to be 700-1600 units. The 53 control children were given traditional Chinese herbs. Children given interferon had a significantly (P<0.01) faster normalization of temperature at 24, 36 and 48 hours after the first treatment. The clinicians reported that pharyngitis and lymphadenosis of the posterior pharynx improved when fever subsided.
 
Low doses of interferon probably do not have a direct antiviral effect but instead exert an immune modulatory effect through interferon stimulated genes. Influenza studies conducted in the USA, Australia and Germany have shown that oral interferon protects mice against an otherwise fatal influenza infection. In February 2008, the Company filed an IND application with the FDA and plans to launch a Phase 2 clinical study for the 2008 - 2009 influenza season.
 
Oral Warts in HIV+ Patients.

Oral warts are lesions in the mouth caused by the human papillomaviruses. The FDA has granted Orphan Drug Designation to AMAR for interferon in the treatment of oral warts in HIV+ patients. In Phase 1/2 clinical studies of 36 HIV+ patients with multiple oral warts who were receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), efficacy of oral interferon was observed when some subjects achieved a complete or nearly complete regression of their warts.
 
We launched a placebo-controlled, Phase 2 study in the 1st quarter of 2007. The protocol covers a 24-week, 80-patient study in which 20 patients are receiving placebo and 60 are receiving active treatment at 1500 IU per day. If the current study is successful, a Phase 3 trial to confirm safety and efficacy will be launched in 2009. As of today, 40 oral warts patients have been enrolled at 12 active clinical sites. Enrollment of a further 40 patients at a cost of approximately $120,000 is anticipated by the end of the second quarter of 2008.
 
Behcet’s Disease.

Behcet’s disease is a severe chronic relapsing inflammatory disorder marked by oral and genital ulcers, eye inflammation (uveitis) and skin lesions, as well as varying multisystem involvement including the joints, blood vessels, central nervous system, and gastrointestinal tract. The oral lesions are an invariable sign, occurring in all patients at some time in the disease. Behcet’s disease is found world-wide, and is a significant cause of partial or total disability. The US patient population has been estimated as 15,000. We filed with the FDA Office of Orphan Drugs and were granted (January 2000) orphan drug status for low dose orally administered IFNa treatment in this condition. A double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II trial was completed in Turkey on April 2, 2008. Results are expected by the end of the second quarter of 2008.

Chronic Cough in COPD Patients.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a clinical condition with a progressive airflow limitation that is poorly reversible and characteristic of chronic bronchitis and emphysema. The causes of COPD include tobacco smoke, occupational dusts, chemicals, vapors and environmental pollutants. COPD is estimated to affect more that 600 million people worldwide. There are no effective therapies for emphysema, nor are there efficient clinical management strategies. A Phase II study to confirm the ability of low-dose orally administered interferon-alpha to reduce chronic coughing in COPD patients is scheduled to launch in the second quarter of 2008, with results expected by the end of 2008.

Dr. Lorenz Lutherer of Texas Tech University has obtained university funding for a proof-of-concept study to evaluate orally administered IFNα in the treatment chronic cough in COPD patients. This experimental clinical study will be a Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel trial in which 40 eligible volunteers with COPD-associated chronic cough will be randomly assigned to one of two groups in equal numbers to receive either IFNα or placebo. Treatment will be given three times daily for 4 weeks, and patients will be followed for 4 weeks post-treatment to assess durability of response. The study will evaluate the ability of IFNα to reduce the frequency and severity of chronic cough in COPD patients. The study will launch in the next 30 days with conclusion targeted for the third quarter of 2008. With additional funding, some subjects with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) can be added to this study to confirm the beneficial effects reported by Dr. Lutherer from a pilot study of low-dose oral interferon treatment of patients with IPF.
 
In study of subjects with Sjogren’s syndrome, it was noted that chronic dry cough was relieved by oral interferon therapy. Chronic cough in horses with COPD (called inflammatory airway disease) was relieved by oral interferon, but not placebo. These 2 observations provide additional support for conducting a study of oral interferon on chronic coughing in COPD. 
 
Strategic Alliance with HBL
 
Hayashibara Biochemical Laboratories, Inc. (“HBL”) was established in 1970 to engage in research and development. It is a subsidiary of Hayashibara Company, Ltd., a privately-owned Japanese holding corporation with diversified subsidiaries. For more than 130 years the Hayashibara Company, Ltd. and its predecessors have been applying microbiological technology in the starch industry for the production of maltose and other sugars.

In 1981, HBL established the Fujisaki Institute to accelerate development of industrial methods for the production of biologics and to sponsor clinical trials for such products. In 1985, HBL built the Fujisaki Cell Center to support basic research. In 1987, HBL successfully accomplished the mass production of human cells in an animal host by producing human cells in hamsters. This made it possible to economically produce a natural form of human interferon alpha and other biologics. HBL also has developed and obtained patents for technology relating to the production of interferon alpha-containing lozenges by which the stability of the interferon alpha activity can be maintained for up to 24 months at room temperature and up to five years if the product is refrigerated. The Company believes that the use of such lozenges gives it advantages over competitive technologies in terms of cost, taste and ease of handling. On March 13, 1992, the Company entered into a Joint Development and Manufacturing/Supply Agreement with HBL (the “Development Agreement”). Such Development Agreement was subsequently amended on January 17, 1996; May 10, 1996; and September 7, 2001. The current expiration date of the Development Agreement is March 12, 2011, at which time it will automatically renew for an additional three (3) years, unless the parties agree otherwise. Among other things, the Development Agreement provides the Company with a source of natural human interferon alpha for use in the Company’s interferon alpha-containing products. Additional information on the Development Agreement is set forth in Note 4 to the Financial Statements included in this prospectus.

Strategic Alliance with Nobel
 
We signed a licensing and supply agreement in September 2004 with a Turkish pharmaceutical company, NOBEL ILAC SANAYII VE TICARET A.S., providing the rights to oral low-dose interferon-alpha for the treatment of Behcet’s disease in Turkey and in Azerbaijan, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrghyzstan, Macedonia, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Slovenia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
 
The license agreement covers a territory whose population is approximately 365 million. In Turkey, where the disease is more than 600 times more prevalent than in the United States, there are from 56,000 to 259,000 people who are afflicted with the disease, according to a review published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Orphan Drug Designation for this product for the clinical indication of Behcet’s Disease to us. The Orphan Drug Designation is designed to promote the development of treatments for diseases rare in the United States and provides certain marketing exclusivity incentives outlined under the Orphan Drug Act.
 
Under the terms of the agreement, Amarillo and NOBEL will conduct Behcet’s disease studies in Turkey under an Investigating New Drug (IND) Application submitted by ABI to the U.S. FDA. U.S. FDA approval will be sought and this FDA approval will be owned by ABI, but will be used by NOBEL to seek regulatory approval in each country to which the licensing rights apply.  
 
A 12 week Phase II, placebo-controlled dose-ranging study of 85 patients with Behcet’s disease was completed in Turkey on April 2, 2008. Final results are expected to be available by the end of the second quarter of 2008. If the Phase 2 data are encouraging, then NOBEL will conduct a Phase 3 study before a New Drug Application (NDA) can be submitted to the US FDA.

Strategic Alliance with Bumimedic
 
We have also entered into a distribution agreement with Bumimedic (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd, a Malaysian pharmaceutical company that is a part of the Antah HealthCare Group, to market our low-dose interferon (natural human IFN) in Malaysia. Bumimedic will seek registration for ABI’s natural human IFN and commence marketing the product after approval. The terms of the agreement call for Bumimedic to manufacture lozenges from our bulk natural human IFN (which is supplied by Hayashibara Biochemical Laboratories); package the lozenges and distribute them to local hospitals, pharmacies and clinics in Malaysia. Pursuant to the agreement, we will receive a series of payments, in three stages: upon formal execution of the distribution agreement, upon regulatory approval, and upon production. We will also receive a royalty on the sale of the natural human IFN.
 
Strategic Alliance with CytoPharm
 
In November 2006, we entered into a License and Supply Agreement with CytoPharm, Inc., a Taipei, Taiwan-based biopharmaceutical company whose parent company is Vita Genomics, Inc., the largest biotech company in Taiwan specializing in pharmacogenomics and specialty Clinical Research Organization. Under the terms of the Agreement, CytoPharm and its subsidiary will conduct all clinical trials, and seek to obtain regulatory approvals in both China and Taiwan (the “Territory”) to launch our low dose oral interferon in the Territory for influenza and hepatitis B (“HBV”) and hepatitis C (“HCV”) indications. CytoPharm has entered into discussions with regulatory agencies in the Territory to conduct clinical trials for oral interferon treatment of hepatitis B and influenza, which are expected to commence in 2008. According to the Agreement, CytoPharm will make payments to us upon reaching certain milestones and will also pay royalties on low dose oral interferon sales in the Territory. C.

Cytopharm plans to launch a Phase II, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study of 165 hepatitis C virus infected patients in Taiwan in the third quarter of 2008. The study is designed to test the ability of low-dose orally administered interferon-alpha to reduce the virolgic relapse rate of patients who have completed standard therapy with pegylated interferon plus ribavirin. Treatment time is 6 months with 6 months of post treatment observation. Results are expected by the end of 2009.

In March 2008, we entered into a Supply Agreement for Animal Health with CytoPharm, Inc. Under the terms of the Agreement, CytoPharm will conduct all clinical trials, and seek to obtain regulatory approvals in China and Taiwan (the “Territory”) to launch our low dose oral interferon in the Territory for treatment of diseases and other healthcare applications of swine, cattle and poultry. CytoPharm will make payments to us upon reaching certain milestones and will also pay royalties on low dose oral interferon sales in the Territory.

There are no current patent litigation proceedings involving us.

Competition 
 
The pharmaceutical industry is an expanding and rapidly changing industry characterized by intense competition. We believe that our ability to compete will be dependent in large part upon our ability to continually enhance and improve our products and technologies. In order to do so, we must effectively utilize and expand our research and development capabilities and, once developed, expeditiously convert new technology into products and processes, which can be commercialized. Competition is based primarily on scientific and technological superiority, technical support, availability of patent protection, access to adequate capital, the ability to develop, acquire and market products and processes successfully, the ability to obtain governmental approvals and the ability to serve the particular needs of commercial customers. Corporations and institutions with greater resources than us may, therefore, have a significant competitive advantage. Our potential competitors include entities that develop and produce therapeutic agents for treatment of human and animal disease. These include numerous public and private academic and research organizations and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies pursuing production of, among other things, biologics from cell cultures, genetically engineered drugs and natural and chemically synthesized drugs. Some of competitors are Roche, Schering, Berlex, Serono, Biogen, InterMune and Hemispherix.
 
United States Regulation

Before any of our products can be marketed in the United States, they must receive approval from the FDA. To receive this approval, any drug we develop must undergo rigorous preclinical testing and clinical trials that demonstrate the product candidate’s safety and effectiveness for each indicated use. This extensive regulatory process controls, among other things, the development, testing, manufacture, safety, efficacy, record keeping, labeling, storage, approval, advertising, promotion, sale, and distribution of pharmaceutical products.

In general, before any ethical pharmaceutical product can be marketed in the United States the process typically required by the FDA:

preclinical laboratory and animal tests;
 
 
submission of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;
 
 
adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials to establish the safety and efficacy of the proposed drug for its intended use;
 
 
pre-approval inspection of manufacturing facilities and selected clinical investigators;
 
 
Submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA; and
 
16

 
FDA approval of an, or NDA, or of an NDA supplement (for subsequent indications or other modifications, including a change in location of the manufacturing facility).
 
Preclinical Testing

In the United States, drug candidates are tested in animals until adequate proof of safety and efficacy is established. These preclinical studies generally evaluate the mechanism of action and pharmacology of the product and assess the potential safety and efficacy of the product. Tested compounds must be produced according to applicable current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) requirements and preclinical safety tests must be conducted in compliance with FDA and international regulations regarding good laboratory practices (GLP). The results of the preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are generally submitted to the FDA as part of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may commence. The IND will automatically become effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless before that time the FDA requests an extension or raises concerns about the conduct of the clinical trials as outlined in the application. If the FDA has any concerns, the sponsor of the application and the FDA must resolve the concerns before clinical trials can begin. Regulatory authorities may require additional preclinical data before allowing the clinical studies to commence or proceed from one Phase to another, and could demand that the studies be discontinued or suspended at any time if there are significant safety issues. Furthermore, an independent institutional review board, or IRB, for each medical center proposing to participate in the conduct of the clinical trial must review and approve the clinical protocol and patient informed consent form before the center commences the study.

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials for new drug candidates are typically conducted in three sequential phases that may overlap. In Phase 1, the initial introduction of the drug candidate into human volunteers, the emphasis is on testing for safety or adverse effects, dosage, tolerance, metabolism, distribution, excretion, and clinical pharmacology. Phase 2 involves studies in a limited patient population to determine the initial efficacy of the drug candidate for specific targeted indications, to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage and to identify possible adverse side effects and safety risks. Once a compound shows evidence of effectiveness and is found to have an acceptable safety profile in Phase 2 evaluations, pivotal Phase 3 trials are undertaken to more fully evaluate clinical outcomes and to establish the overall risk/benefit profile of the drug, and to provide, if appropriate, an adequate basis for product labeling. During all clinical trials, physicians will monitor patients to determine effectiveness of the drug candidate and to observe and report any reactions or safety risks that may result from use of the drug candidate. The FDA, the IRB, or the sponsor may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the subjects are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk.

The data from the clinical trials, together with preclinical data and other supporting information that establishes a drug candidate’s safety, are submitted to the FDA in the form of a new drug application, or NDA, or NDA supplement (for approval of a new indication if the product candidate is already approved for another indication). Under applicable laws and FDA regulations, each NDA submitted for FDA approval is usually given an internal administrative review within 45 to 60 days following submission of the NDA. If deemed complete, the FDA will “file” the NDA, thereby triggering substantive review of the application. The FDA can refuse to file any NDA that it deems incomplete or not properly reviewable. The FDA has established internal substantive review goals of six months for priority NDA’s (for drugs addressing serious or life threatening conditions for which there is an unmet medical need) and ten months for regular NDA’s. The FDA, however, is not legally required to complete its review within these periods, and these performance goals may change over time. Moreover, the outcome of the review, even if generally favorable, is not typically an actual approval, but an “action letter” that describes additional work that must be done before the NDA can be approved. The FDA’s review of a NDA may involve review and recommendations by an independent FDA advisory committee. The FDA may deny approval of an NDA or an NDA supplement if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied, or it may require additional clinical data and/or an additional pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial. Even if such data are submitted, the FDA may ultimately decide that the NDA or NDA supplement does not satisfy the criteria for approval.

Data Review and Approval

Substantial financial resources are necessary to fund the research, clinical trials, and related activities necessary to satisfy FDA requirements or similar requirements of state, local, and foreign regulatory agencies. It normally takes many years to satisfy these various regulatory requirements, assuming they are satisfied. Information generated in this process is susceptible to varying interpretations that could delay, limit, or prevent regulatory approval at any stage of the process. Accordingly, the actual time and expense required to bring a product to market may vary substantially. We cannot assure you that we will submit applications for required authorizations to manufacture and/or market potential products or that any such application will be reviewed and approved by the appropriate regulatory authorities in a timely manner, if at all. Data obtained from clinical activities is not always conclusive and may be susceptible to varying interpretations, which could delay, limit, or prevent regulatory approval. Success in early stage clinical trials does not ensure success in later stage clinical trials. Even if a product candidate receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited to specific disease states, patient populations, and dosages, or have conditions placed on them that restrict the commercial applications, advertising, promotion, or distribution of these products.

17

 
Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval if ongoing regulatory standards are not met or if safety problems occur after the product reaches the market. In addition, the FDA may require testing and surveillance programs to monitor the effect of approved products which have been commercialized, and the FDA has the power to prevent or limit further marketing of a product based on the results of these post-marketing programs. The FDA may also request additional clinical trials after a product is approved. These so-called Phase 4 studies may be made a condition to be satisfied after a drug receives approval. The results of Phase 4 studies can confirm the effectiveness of a product candidate and can provide important safety information via the FDA’s voluntary adverse drug reaction reporting system. Any products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals would be subject to continuing regulation by the FDA, including record-keeping requirements and reporting of adverse experiences with the drug. Drug manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register their establishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliance with good manufacturing practices, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our third-party manufacturers. We cannot be certain that we or our present or future suppliers will be able to comply with the good manufacturing practices regulations and other FDA regulatory requirements. If our present or future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may halt our clinical trials, require us to recall a drug from distribution, or withdraw approval of the NDA for that drug. Furthermore, even after regulatory approval is obtained, later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product may result in restrictions on the product or even complete withdrawal of the product from the market.

The FDA closely regulates the marketing and promotion of drugs. Approval may be subject to post-marketing surveillance and other record keeping and reporting obligations, and involve ongoing requirements. Product approvals may be withdrawn if compliance with regulatory standards is not maintained or if problems occur following initial marketing. A company can make only those claims relating to safety and efficacy that are approved by the FDA. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising, and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available drugs for uses that are not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such off-label uses are common across medical specialties. Physicians may believe that such off-label uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate the behavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturers’ communications on the subject of off-label use.
 
505(b)(2)

The traditional approval process for New Drugs is set out in Section 505(b)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. An alternative path to FDA approval is for new or improved formulations of previously approved products. This alternative path, established by section 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, permits the applicant to rely on certain preclinical or clinical studies conducted for an approved product as some of the information required for approval and for which the applicant has not obtained a right of reference. The FDA may also require companies to perform additional studies to support the change from the approved product. The FDA may then approve the new product candidate for all or some of the indications for which the referenced product was approved, as well as for any new indications sought by the Section 505(b)(2) applicant.

To the extent that the Section 505(b)(2) applicant is relying on studies conducted for an already approved product, the applicant is required to certify to the FDA concerning any patents listed for the approved product in the FDA’s Orange Book publication. Specifically, the applicant must certify that: (i) the required patent information has not been filed; (ii) the listed patent has expired; (iii) the listed patent has not expired, but will expire on a particular date and approval is sought after patent expiration; or (iv) the listed patent is valid or will not be infringed by the new product. If the applicant does not challenge the listed patents, the Section 505(b)(2) application will not be approved until all the listed patents claiming the referenced product have expired. The Section 505(b)(2) application also will not be approved until any non-patent exclusivity, such exclusivity for obtaining approval of a new chemical entity, listed in the Orange Book for the referenced product has expired.

Orphan Drug Designation

Under the Orphan Drug Act, the FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease or condition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Orphan drug designation must be requested before submitting a NDA. After the FDA grants orphan drug designation, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potential orphan use are disclosed publicly by the FDA. Orphan drug designation does not convey any advantage in or shorten the duration of the regulatory review and approval process. If a product that has orphan drug designation subsequently receives FDA approval for the disease for which it has such designation, the product is entitled to orphan product exclusivity, which means that the FDA may not approve any other applications to market the same drug for the same disease, except in very limited circumstances, for seven years. These, very limited, circumstances are (i) an inability to supply the drug in sufficient quantities or (ii) a situation in which a new formulation of the drug has shown superior safety or efficacy. This exclusivity, however, also could block the approval of our product for seven years if a competitor obtains earlier approval of the same drug for the same indication.

Foreign Regulation

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

Under European Union regulatory systems, we may submit marketing authorization applications either under a centralized or decentralized procedure. The centralized procedure, which is available for medicines produced by biotechnology or which are highly innovative, provides for the grant of a single marketing authorization that is valid for all EU member states. This authorization is a marketing authorization application (“MAA”). The decentralized procedure provides for mutual recognition of national approval decisions. Under this procedure, the holder of a national marketing authorization may submit an application to the remaining member states. Within 90 days of receiving the applications and assessment report, each member state must decide whether to recognize approval. This procedure is referred to as the mutual recognition procedure (“MRP”).
 
The policies of the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities may change and additional government regulations may be enacted which could prevent or delay regulatory approval of our investigational drugs or approval of new diseases for our existing products and could also increase the cost of regulatory compliance. We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of adverse governmental regulation that might arise from future legislative or administrative action, either in the United States or abroad.

Research and Development

During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred research and development expenses of $530,867 and $535,075, respectively.

Employees

We have 7 full-time employees and 1 part-time employee based in Amarillo, Texas. Of these employees, 3 are executive officers and 4 work in administrative and research and development capacities. We also use consultants in business and research development.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Our executive and administrative offices are located at 4134 Business Park Drive, Amarillo, Texas in a 3,600 square-foot facility rented by us. The lease expires on December 31, 2008 and our monthly rent is $1,850 per month. We believe that the facilities are well maintained and generally suitable and adequate for our current and projected operating needs.


From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.  As of the date of this prospectus, we were not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims against us.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Overview

We continue to engage in research and development activities focused on developing biologics for the treatment of human and animal diseases. We have not commenced any significant product commercialization and, until such time as it does, will not generate significant product revenues. Our accumulated deficit has increased, from $ 25,953,878 at December 31, 2006  to $ 28,459,951 at December 31, 2007. Operating losses are expected to continue for the foresee-able future and until such time as we are able to attain sales levels sufficient to support its operations.

In 2008  we will continue its research and development activities, as well as the activities necessary to develop commercial partnerships and licenses. Our expenditure of financial resources in 2008 will fall principally into five broad categories, as follows: Research and Development; Personnel; Consulting and Professional (except legal and accounting); Legal and Accounting; and Public Relations, Investor Relations and Shareholder Relations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2007, we had available cash of approximately $47,184 and had a working capital deficit (current assets less current liabilities) of approximately $2,702,104. Current liabilities include two $1,000,000 notes plus $682,773 of accrued interest owed to Hayashibara Biochemical Laboratories, Inc. (HBL), our largest shareholder and benefactor. Assuming there is no decrease in current accounts payable, and accounting for various one-time expenses, our negative cash flow for operating activities plus equipment purchases, patent filings (burn rate) is approximately $118,638 per month. Our continued losses and lack of liquidity raise substantial doubt about whether we are able to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon several factors including, but not limited to, our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis, obtain additional financing and continue to obtain supplies and services from its vendors. We will need to raise additional funds in order to fully execute our 2008 plan. We are presently negotiating with human health commercial development partners in various regions of the world. We believe that one or more of these agreements will be executed during 2008. These agreements could generally include provisions for the commercial partner to pay us a technology access fee, could include payments for a portion of the clinical trial expenses, could include payment obligations to us upon the accomplishment of certain defined tasks and/or could provide for payments relating to the future sales of commercial product. These agreements could be an important source of funds. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding from human health commercial development partners, institutional or private investors. If we are not successful in raising additional funds, we will need to significantly curtail clinical trial expenditures and to further reduce staff and administrative expenses and may be forced to cease operations.

Total outstanding current liabilities remained approximately equal, with approximately $2.78 million at December 31, 2007, as compared to approximately $2.75 million at December 31, 2006.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
We believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:
 
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
 
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised), "Share-Based Payment" (SFAS 123(R)) utilizing the modified prospective approach. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) we accounted for stock option grant in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25,” Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and accordingly, recognized compensation expense for stock option grants using the intrinsic value method.
 
Under the modified prospective approach, SFAS 123(R) applies to new awards and to awards that were outstanding on January 1, 2006 that are subsequently vested, modified, repurchased or cancelled.  Under the modified prospective approach, compensation cost recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original  provisions of SFAS 123, and compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent  to January 1, 2006 based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R).  For all quarters after the first quarter of fiscal 2006, compensation costs recognized will include compensation costs for all share-based payments granted based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R).
 
Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2007 as Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2006 

Revenues.  During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, $70,069 from product sales, sublicense fees and royalties was generated compared to $73,919 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $3,850 or approximately 5.2%.  Revenue from federal research grants during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 was $60,023.  No federal research grant funds were received in 2007.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, General and Administrative expenses of $1,956,838 were incurred for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $2,288,045 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $331,177 or approximately 14%.   Salaries and wages were $84,604 lower in 2007.   Most of the reduction in salaries and wages can be accounted for by employee stock grant, options and accrued vacation expenses that were $70,606 lower in 2007. Fund raising fees were $91,043 lower in 2007 than 2006 since private placement stock sales were lower in 2007.  Professional fees were $115,378 lower in 2007.
 
Non-Cash Consulting Activities . During the year ended December 31, 2007, 200,000 shares of restricted stock were issued to consultants in lieu of cash payments. Based upon the common stock trading price at the times of issuance and FASB rules, a non-cash consulting expense of $166,000 was recorded.   During 2006, 87,309 shares of restricted common stock were issued to consultants in lieu of cash payments and a non-cash consulting expense of $49,835 recorded for the issuance of these shares.  During 2007, the Company issued 1,610,000 options and warrants to consultants and recognized expense of $644,723.  During 2006, the Company issued 945,500 options to consultants and recognized expense of $737,863.
 
In the third and fourth quarter of 2007, consultants exercised 350,000 options for $.20 per share, generating $70,000.  In the second quarter of 2006, consultants exercised 250,000 options for $0.10 per share, generating $25,000 in cash. The rest of the options and warrants issued to consultants have not been exercised.

Research and Development Expenses.   Research and Development expenses of $530,867 were incurred for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $535,075 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $4,208 or approximately 0.8%.
 
Net Income (Loss).  Net Loss applicable to common shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 was $2,506,073 compared to a Net Loss of $2,777,661 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $271,588 or approximately 10%.

Penny Stock Rules

Our shares of common stock are subject to the "penny stock" rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and various rules under this Act. In general terms, "penny stock" is defined as any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The rules provide that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the SEC, authorized for quotation from the NASDAQ stock market, issued by a registered investment company, and excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share), or based on the issuer's net tangible assets or revenues. In the last case, the issuer's net tangible assets must exceed $3,000,000 if in continuous operation for at least three years or $5,000,000 if in operation for less than three years, or the issuer's average revenues for each of the past three years must exceed $6,000,000.

Trading in shares of penny stock is subject to additional sales practice requirements for broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Accredited investors, in general, include individuals with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 together with their spouse), and certain institutional investors. For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of the security and must have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the security. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks. These rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade or maintain a market in our common stock, to the extent it is penny stock, and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares.
 
Holders   
 
As of April 15, 2008, there were 29,672,034 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, approximately 1,600  holders of record of our common stock, 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding and 1 holder of record of our Series A Preferred Stock. The approximate holders of record of common stock was estimated by adding the number of shareholder accounts on the American Stock Transfer & Trust Company list dated 12/07/07 (404) to the number of shareholders on the Broadridge NOBO list dated 2/12/08 (1,621).

Equity Compensation Plan Information

Stock Option Plans

We have two employee stock option plans. The first is entitled the 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”), which has been approved by our shareholders, and which was amended and restated effective September 12, 1998, and May 11, 1999, both of said amendments and restatements also having been approved by our shareholders. 590,000 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance under said Employee Stock Option Plan; however, none of such options are currently outstanding to our employees. Options granted in prior years under the Employee Stock Option Plan have either lapsed, or have been exercised in full, or have been returned to us in exchange for non-qualified stock options. However, we may grant qualified stock options to employees under the 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan from time to time in the future.
 
We also have in place the 2006 Employee Stock Option and Stock Bonus Plan (the “2006 Plan”). This plan has authorized a maximum of 500,000 shares of our common stock to be issued or reserved. During 2006, 300,000 shares were issued under this plan to Joseph Cummins. The plan shall remain in effect until the end of our fiscal year 2011. Options granted under the plan have a ten year term and become exercisable over a five year period. The option price is equal to 100% of the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant.

We have one director plan entitled the Outside Director and Advisor Stock Option Plan, Amended and Restated as of May 11, 1999 (“Outside Director and Advisor Plan”). This plan allows options to purchase a maximum of 410,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be granted to outside directors and scientific advisors to the Company at an exercise price equivalent to 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. These are ten-year options and become exercisable over a period of five years. None of these options are currently outstanding to our employees.

No stock or stock options were issued pursuant to the above-referenced employee stock option and stock bonus plans in 2006 and 2007, except as noted above.

The following table gives information about our common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of options and warrants granted to employees, directors and consultants, under our 1996 Plan, Outside Director and Advisor Plan, and 2006 Plan as of December 31, 2007.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

 We have relied significantly on HBL, our largest shareholder, for a substantial portion of its capital requirements. Pursuant to the Development Agreement described at Item 1 of Part 1 above, HBL advanced $9,000,000 for funding of research. In addition, HBL has purchased substantial amounts of our common stock from time to time, to the point where it now owns 10.51% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. HBL loaned $1 million to us on November 30, 1999 and an additional $1 million on February 29, 2000, both loans bearing interest at 4.5% per annum. The November 30, 1999 loan has been extended until June 3, 2008 and the February 29, 2000 loan has been extended toAugust 28, 2008. The aggregate balance on both loans at December 31, 2007, including principal and accrued interest, was $2,682,773. HBL has offered to extend the November 30, 1999 loan until December 3, 2009 and the February 29, 2000 loan until February 28, 2010 if $145,000 of accrued interest is paid (in addition to $200,000 already paid in January 2008) before August 31, 2008. In addition to the above, HBL and the Company are parties to various license and manufacturing and supply agreements pursuant to which we license certain technology to or from HBL. HBL supplies formulations of its interferon alpha and other products to us. Additional information on these agreements is set forth in Notes 3, 4 and 5 to the Financial Statements reported in our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 and included in this prospectus.
 
During 2006 and 2007, we used the law firm of SandersBaker, P.C. Mr. Edward Morris, Secretary of the Company, is a partner in that firm. We were invoiced $61,707 by said firm in 2006 and $59,387 in 2007.

In March 2006 we paid options with $249,448 fair value to Dr. Claus Martin, a consultant. In March 2007, we paid Dr. Martin, a stock grant with $84,000 fair value. On November 11, 2007, Dr. Martin became a 5% or more shareholder, beneficially owning 5.54% of the shares of our common stock.

Between February 2008 and April 2008; we received financial and marketing consulting services from Epicenter Consulting, Inc., a company wholly-owned by Peter R. Mueller; chief operating officer and director of research of the Company. Consulting services ceased when Mr. Mueller began his employment with the Company in April 2008.
 
All future transactions and loans between the Company and its officers, directors and 5% shareholders will be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from independent third parties. There can be no assurance, however, that future transactions or arrangements between the Company and its affiliates will be advantageous, that conflicts of interest will not arise with respect thereto or that if conflicts do arise, that they will be resolved in favor of the Company.

Director Independence

Messrs. Chen, D’Alonzo, Moore, Page, and Ulie are independent as that term is defined under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

MATERIAL CHANGES

There have been no material changes in our affairs since the year ended December 31, 2007 that have not been described in a subsequent Form 10-QSB or Form 8-K filed under the Exchange Act.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Art. 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act allows a corporation to indemnify any officer, director, employee or agent who is a party or is threatened to be made a party to a litigation by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such director or officer, or only for reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with the proceeding if the person is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him or is found liable to the corporation, if:
 
·         there was no breach by the officer, director, employee or agent of his or her fiduciary duties to the corporation involving intentional or willful misconduct; or

·     the officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

Article IV of our By-Laws provides for indemnification of our current or former directors and officers or any person who may have served at request as a director or officer of another corporation in which it owned shares of capital stock or of which it is a creditor. Such indemnification extends to liabilities imposed upon the director or officer and expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any claim made against him, or any action, suit or proceeding to which he may be a party by reason of his being, or having been such director or officer, and against such sums as independent counsel selected by the Board of Directors shall deem reasonable payment made in settlement of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding primarily with a view of avoiding expenses of litigation; provided, however, that no director or officer shall be indemnified with respect to matters as to which he shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to be liable for negligence or misconduct in performance of duty, or with respect to any matters which shall be settled by the payment of sums which counsel selected by the Board of Directors shall not deem reasonable payment made primarily with a view to avoiding expenses of litigation, or with respect to matters for which such indemnification would be against public policy.

30


The Officers and Directors do not have indemnification agreements with the Company. The Company does have $5,000,000 of Directors and Officers Liability Insurance, which it will use to indemnify such directors and executive officers, to the extent permitted by our By-Laws or the laws of the State of Texas, against any expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any actual or threatened action or proceeding to which such director or officer is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Amarillo Biosciences, Inc. pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the shares offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP, 61 Broadway, New York, New York 10006.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of
Amarillo Biosciences, Inc.
Amarillo, TX

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Amarillo Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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.  Our audits included consideration of 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Amarillo Biosciences, Inc. as of December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company's absence of significant revenues, recurring losses from operations, and its need for additional financing in order to fund its projected loss in 2008 raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The 2007 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Amarillo Biosciences, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007


1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Business

Amarillo Biosciences, Inc. (the "Company” or “AMAR"), a Texas corporation formed in 1984, is engaged in developing biologics for the treatment of human and animal diseases. The Company is continuing its clinical studies as part of the process of obtaining regulatory approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), so that commercial marketing can begin in the United States. The Company has developed a dietary supplement and an interferon alpha lozenge, but has not commenced any significant product commercialization activities.

Going Concern

The Company's viability is dependent upon successful commercialization of products resulting from its research and product development activities. The Company plans on working with commercial development partners in the United States and in other parts of the world to provide the necessary sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to successfully commercialize the interferon alpha product for both human and animal applications. All of the Company's products will require significant additional development, laboratory and clinical testing and investment prior to the Company obtaining regulatory approval to commercially market its product(s). Accordingly, for at least the next few years, the Company will continue to incur research and development and general and administrative expenses and may not generate sufficient revenues from product sales to support its operations.

The Company has been dependent upon financing from its stockholders. The Company’s activities have been financed primarily through the issuance of common stock, and under an agreement with a major stockholder, and its initial public offering.

The Company’s 2008 plan of operations calls for the Company to expend approximately $2 million cash, excluding funding fees, in 2008. At December 31, 2007, the Company had available cash of $47,184 and negative working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of ($2,702,104).  Current liabilities included two $1 million notes and $682,773 accrued interest owed to Hayashibara Biochemical Laboratories, Inc. (“HBL”), the Company’s largest shareholder and supplier of interferon. The Company paid $200,000 of accrued interest to HBL in January of 2008 and HBL extended the notes and accrued interest until June 3, 2008 and August 28, 2008.   HBL will extend the notes until December 3, 2009 and February 28, 2010 if payment of $145,000 of accrued interest is received by August 31, 2008.

 
F-6

 

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Going Concern (Continued)

The Company’s continued losses and lack of liquidity indicate that the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon several factors including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations on a timely basis, obtain additional financing and continue to obtain supplies and services from its vendors.  On January 8, 2008, the Company received gross proceeds of $1,000,000 from the sales of convertible preferred stock. After deducting expenses of the private placement, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $841,500.  The Company will need to raise approximately $1,500,000 additional funds in order to execute its 2008 plan.

The Company is presently negotiating with human health commercial development partners in various regions of the world including the United States, China, South America and Southeast Asia. The Company believes that one or more of these agreements will be executed during 2008. These agreements could generally include provisions for the commercial partner to pay  a technology access fee, could include payments for a portion of the clinical trial expenses, could include payment obligations upon the accomplishment of certain defined tasks and/or could provide for payments relating to the future sales of commercial product. These agreements could be an important source of funds for the Company. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional funding from either human health and animal health commercial development partners or private investors. If the Company is not successful in raising additional funds, it will need to significantly curtail clinical trial expenditures and to further reduce staff and administrative expenses and may be forced to cease operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and debt. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

Stock Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised), "Share-Based Payment" (SFAS 123(R)) utilizing the modified prospective approach. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) we accounted for stock option grant in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and accordingly, recognized compensation expense for stock option grants using the intrinsic value method.

Under the modified prospective approach, SFAS 123(R) applies to new awards and to awards that were outstanding on January 1, 2006 that are subsequently modified, repurchased

 
F-7

 

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

or cancelled.  Under the modified prospective approach, compensation cost recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original  provisions of SFAS 123, and compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent  to January 1, 2006 based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R).  For all quarters after the first quarter of fiscal 2006, compensation costs recognized will include compensation costs for all share-based payments granted based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R).

The fair value of each option granted in 2006  is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of 0.0%, expected volatility of 134.0%, risk-free interest rate of 1.5% and expected life of 60 months.  The fair value of each option granted in 2007 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of 0.0%, expected volatility of 103.2%, risk-free interest rate of 4.34% and expected life of 1.57 years.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company classifies investments as cash equivalents if the original maturity of an investment is three months or less.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure trade and notes receivable are not overstated due to uncollectibility.  The Company’s allowance is based on a variety of factors, including age of the receivable, significant one-time events, historical experience, and other risk considerations.  The balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2007 is $0.

Accounts receivable amounted to $887 as of December 31, 2007, and are included with other current assets in the accompanying financial statements.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company continually assesses the appropriateness of inventory valuations giving consideration to slow-moving, non-saleable, out-of-date or close-dated inventory. As of December 31, 2007 the Company has $3,133 of inventory included in other current assets.

 
F-8

 

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Property and Equipment

Property, equipment and software are stated on the basis of historical cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the two to five year estimated useful lives of the assets.

Patents and Patent Expenditures

AMAR holds patent license agreements and holds patents that are owned by the Company. All patent license agreements remain in effect over the life of the underlying patents. Accordingly, the patent license fee is being amortized over 15-17 years using the straight-line method. Patent fees and legal fees associated with the issuance of new owned patents are capitalized and amortized over 15-17 years.  Amortization expense amounted to $13,970 and $12,380 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Long-lived Assets

Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount.  No impairment losses have been recorded since inception.

Income Taxes

The asset and liability approach is used to account for income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Revenue Recognition

Dietary supplement and interferon sales

Revenues for the dietary supplement sales are recognized when an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and it has been determined that collectibility is reasonably assured.  This generally occurs at the point when the goods are shipped to the customer.

 
F-9

 

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Sublicense fee revenue

Sublicense revenue is calculated based on fees relating to a license.  Amarillo recognizes revenue on these sublicense fees in the month the revenue is generated by the licensee.

Royalty revenue

Royalty revenue is calculated based on royalty fees as a percent of net sales relating to a license.  Amarillo recognizes revenue on these royalty payments in the year the revenue is generated by the licensee.  Royalty revenue of $27,919 was reported in the year ended December 31, 2007 for HBL sales of Bimron to BioVet.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share is based on the number of weighted average shares outstanding. The effect of warrants and options outstanding is anti-dilutive.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable.

The Company has cash balances in a single financial institution which, from time to time, exceed the federally insured limit of $100,000.   No loss has been incurred related to this concentration of cash.

 
F-10

 

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Other Concentrations

The Company and its sublicensees are reliant on a single, foreign supplier for its products.  The loss of this supplier could adversely affect the Company’s future revenues.  During 2007 the majority of revenue came from royalties from its foreign supplier and a sublicense fee from one of its sublicensees.  The loss of revenue from one these revenue sources could adversely affect the Company’s future revenues.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  Management is currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 157 will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an amendment of FASB statement No. 115.” This Statement permits all entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the “fair value option”). A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected shall be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. If an entity elects the fair value option for a held-to-maturity or available-for-sale security in conjunction with the adoption of this Statement, that security shall be reported as a trading security under Statement 115, but the accounting for a transfer to the trading category under paragraph 15(b) of Statement 115 does not apply. Electing the fair value option for an existing held-to-maturity security will not call into question the intent of an entity to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future. This statement is effective as of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.  The Company is currently analyzing the effects of SFAS 159 but does not expect its implementation will have a significant impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

 
F-11

 


2. Property, Equipment and Software

Equipment is stated at cost and consists of the following at December 31, 2007:

Furniture and equipment
$       58,528
Software
           7,033
 
         65,561
Less:  accumulated depreciation
$       14,098
 
Depreciation expense amounted to $4,813 and $2,798 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

3. Notes Payable

The Company had an unsecured loan agreement with HBL (July 22, 1999), which called for HBL to loan the Company $3,000,000 to be advanced in three installments. One of these three notes was converted into stock as described below.  The annual interest rate on unpaid principal from the date of each respective advance was 4.5 percent, with accrued interest being payable at the maturity of the note. $1,000,000 was payable on or before December 3, 2007, or on or before the expiration of one (1) year after approval of the Company’s product by the FDA, whichever occurs first. This note has been extended and is payable on or before June 3, 2008, or on or before the expiration of one (1) year after approval of the Company's product by the FDA, whichever occurs first. The other $1,000,000 was payable on or before February 29, 2008, or on or before the expiration of one year after approval of the Company’s product by the FDA, whichever occurs first.  This note has been extended and is payable on or before August 28, 2008, or on or before expiration or on or before the expiration of one year after approval of the Company’s product by the FDA, whichever occurs first.   HBL will extend the notes to December 3, 2009 and February 28, 2010 respectively if $145,000 of accrued interest is paid on or before August 31, 2008.

On September 30, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement to convert debt with HBL regarding the above described note payable to HBL in the then principal amount of $1,000,000, the first loan installment having by then been advanced. On October 15, 1999, pursuant to the agreement to convert debt, HBL canceled the then note balance in exchange for 1,111,831 shares of common stock of the Company valued at the then market value of $0.9044 per share.  This stock conversion leaves the Company owing HBL a principal amount of $2,000,000 plus accrued interest.

4. Manufacturing and Supply Agreements

The Company was a party to the following manufacturing and supply agreements at December 31, 2007:

The Company has a joint development and manufacturing/supply agreement with HBL (the Development Agreement), a major stockholder under which HBL will formulate, manufacture and supply HBL interferon for the Company or any sublicensee. In exchange, HBL is entitled to receive a transfer fee, specified royalties and a portion of any payment received by the Company for sublicense of rights under this agreement. The agreement further provides that the Company sublicense to HBL the right to market HBL interferon for oral use in humans and in non-human, warm-blooded species in Japan, in exchange for the Company receiving a royalty fee based on net sales. The Company is the exclusive agent for the development of

HBL interferon for non-oral use in humans and in non-human, warm-blooded species in North America, in exchange, HBL is entitled to receive a transfer fee based on units of interferon supplied and the agreement also provides that a royalty fee be paid to HBL.

As part of the license agreement with Atrix Laboratories, Inc. (executed September 7, 2001, terminated May 22, 2003) a second amendment to the Development Agreement was executed extending the Development Agreement to March 12, 2005 and will be renewed automatically for successive three-year terms. The current expiration date of the Development Agreement is March 12, 2011.

The Company has a supply agreement with HBL under which the Company gained an exclusive right to purchase and distribute anhydrous crystalline maltose for the treatment of dry mouth (xerostomia). This exclusive supply agreement is worldwide, excluding Japan.

5. License and Sublicense Agreements

The Company holds patent rights for which the Company has paid certain license fees under three license agreements. Under these agreements, the Company will pay the licensor a portion of any sublicense fee received by the Company with respect to the manufacturing, use or sale of a licensed product, as well as a royalty fee based on the net selling price of licensed products, subject to a minimum annual royalty.

A $7,500 minimum cash royalty was paid by the Company to Texas A&M University System during 2007. A $19,991 sublicense fee was paid to HBL in 2007 based on sublicense fee income earned by the Company during the year.  The Company has also entered into various sublicense agreements under which the Company is entitled to receive royalties based on the net sales value of licensed products.

 
F-13

 


6. Research Agreements

The Company contracts with third parties throughout the world to conduct research including studies and clinical trials. These agreements are generally less than one year in duration.  The Company plans to pay third parties approximately $120,000 to complete enrollment of 40 HIV+ patients in the oral warts Phase 2 clinical trials in 2008.

7. Common and Preferred Stock

The Company has 100,000,000 shares of voting common shares authorized for issuance and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized for issuance which is issuable in series.

F-14

 

8. Stock Options and Warrants (Continued)

The 2006 Employee Plan has authorized a maximum of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued or reserved.

10. Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes. The Company’s deferred tax asset of approximately $8,000,000 and $7,400,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively, was subject to a valuation allowance of $8,000,000 and $7,400,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively, because of uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to realize future tax benefits associated with the deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets were comprised primarily of net operating loss carryovers under the cash method of accounting used by the Company for federal income tax reporting.

At December 31, 2007, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $23,509,000 for federal income tax purposes expiring in 2008 through 2027. The ability of the Company to utilize these carryforwards may be limited should changes in stockholder ownership occur.

The difference between the reported income tax provision and the benefit normally expected by applying the statutory rate to the loss before income taxes results primarily from the inability of the Company to recognize its tax losses.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease commitment

During 2006, the Company entered into an operating lease agreement for its offices in Amarillo, TX.  The lease for 3,675 square feet is for a period of 24 months commencing in January 2007.  Minimum lease payments under this operating lease are $44,400 for 2007 and 2008.  The Company has no material lease obligations beyond December 2008.

Minimum Royalties

The agreement with Texas A&M University requires the Company to make minimum annual royalty payments of $7,500 through 2019.

11. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

Litigation

The Company is not a party to any litigation and is not aware of any pending litigation or unasserted claims or assessments as of December 31, 2007.

12. Related Party Transactions

The Company has relied significantly on HBL, the largest shareholder of the Company, for a substantial portion of its capital requirements. Pursuant to the Development Agreement previously described, HBL advanced $9,000,000 for funding of research. In addition, HBL has purchased substantial amounts of the Company’s common stock from time to time, to the point where it now owns 10.58% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.

HBL and the Company are parties to various license and manufacturing and supply agreements pursuant to which the Company licenses certain technology to or from HBL. HBL supplies formulations of its interferon alpha and other products to the Company at contractual prices. The Company pays HBL a 12% royalty on the first $100 million of interferon alpha net sales and a 10% royalty on additional net sales.

Additionally, the Company is obligated to pay HBL a percentage of sublicense fee income the Company receives.  There were no sales of interferon alpha and no royalty payments made to HBL in 2007.  A $19,991 sublicense fee to HBL was recorded in 2007.

During 2007 and 2006, the Company purchased $0 and $8,240 of interferon alpha and other products from HBL, respectively.  The Company paid HBL 50% of sublicense fees of $19,991 in 2007 and $19,993 in 2006.  At December 31, 2007 and 2006 the Company did not have any outstanding amounts owed to HBL for purchases of interferon alpha or other products.

HBL is obligated to pay the Company a 8% royalty on sales of oral interferon in Japan.  The Company received $27,919 of royalties in 2007 from HBL animal health sales of oral interferon.

During 2007, the Company engaged the law firm of SandersBaker, P.C.  Mr. Edward Morris, Secretary of the Company, is a partner in that firm. The Company was invoiced $59,387 during 2007 for legal services rendered by SandersBaker.

The investment banker was paid a commission of $80,000 plus received 5 year warrants to purchase 640,000 shares of common stock at $0.30 per share.

On January 4, 2008, 100,000 options with 25,000 options vesting quarterly were issued to two consultants with exercise prices at market ($0.35) and 2 year terms.

On January 10, 2008, the Company paid HBL $200,000 of accrued interest for two $1,000,000 notes.  HBL extended the notes from December 3, 2007 and February 29, 2008 to June 3, 2008 and August 28, 2008.  HBL will extend the notes to December 3, 2009 and February 28, 2010, respectively, if $145,000 of accrued interest is paid on or before August 31, 2008.

On February 22, 2008, the Company entered into a 1 year consulting agreement to provide investor relations, public relations and shareholder relations services.  The Company may terminate the agreement the remaining 9 months of services by giving notice on or before May 22, 2008.  The Company agreed to pay the Consultant $30,000 plus a common stock grant of 90,000 shares for the first 3 months and if the agreement is continued the remainder of the term, an additional $7,500 per month for 8 months plus a common stock grant for 270,000 shares.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
Art. 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act allows a corporation to indemnify any officer, director, employee or agent who is a party or is threatened to be made a party to a litigation by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such director or officer, or only for reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with the proceeding if the person is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him or is found liable to the corporation, if:
 
·         there was no breach by the officer, director, employee or agent of his or her fiduciary duties to the corporation involving intentional or willful misconduct; or

·     the officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

Article IV of our By-Laws provides for indemnification of our current or former directors and officers or any person who may have served at request as a director or officer of another corporation in which it owned shares of capital stock or of which it is a creditor. Such indemnification extends to liabilities imposed upon the director or officer and expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any claim made against him, or any action, suit or proceeding to which he may be a party by reason of his being, or having been such director or officer, and against such sums as independent counsel selected by the Board of Directors shall deem reasonable payment made in settlement of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding primarily with a view of avoiding expenses of litigation; provided, however, that no director or officer shall be indemnified with respect to matters as to which he shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to be liable for negligence or misconduct in performance of duty, or with respect to any matters which shall be settled by the payment of sums which counsel selected by the Board of Directors shall not deem reasonable payment made primarily with a view to avoiding expenses of litigation, or with respect to matters for which such indemnification would be against public policy.

The Officers and Directors do not have indemnification agreements with the Company. The Company does have $5,000,000 of Directors and Officers Liability Insurance, which it will use to indemnify such directors and executive officers, to the extent permitted by our By-Laws or the laws of the State of Texas, against any expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any actual or threatened action or proceeding to which such director or officer is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Amarillo Biosciences, Inc. pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
During 2005 there were 32 sales of our unregistered common stock by private placement, raising $850,014 in cash. Of these sales, 1,380,000 shares were sold for $0.10 per share; 3,435,000 shares were sold for $0.20 per share; and 113,700 shares were sold for $0.22 per share.

In 2005, we issued 37,994 unregistered shares of its voting common stock as payment for consulting services performed in 2005. Valuation of the stock granted ranged from $0.29 to $0.4467 per share which generated a value of $13,211. We issued an additional 450,000 options to consultants to purchase restricted common stock in exchange for consulting services. The options are as follows, 250,000 at $0.01 per share, and 200,000 options at $0.05 per share. These options were exercised and the fair market value of the stock sales were stated; 250,000 shares for $0.01 per share, generating $2,500 in cash and $77,500 in non-cash consulting services; and 200,000 shares for $0.05 per share, generating $10,000 in cash and $60,000 in non-cash consulting services.

In 2006, we issued 945,500 options to consultants to purchase restricted common stock in exchange for consulting services and recognized $737,862 expense related to these options.

In 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 87,309 shares of restricted common stock to consultants in lieu of cash payments. Based upon the common stock trading price at the times of issuance, and FASB rules, a non-cash consulting expense of $49,835 was recorded for the issuance of these shares during the year ended December 31, 2006.

In May 2006, we granted 300,000 shares of stock to an employee of the Company with a fair value of $216,000. 

In July 2006, we applied the balance of a $25,000 note payable towards the purchase of 45,455 shares of restricted common stock. Because the exchange ratio assumed a discounted share price, we recorded at loss on retirement of debt in the amount of $13,637 in conjunction with this transaction.
 
In 2007, we completed private equity financing by selling 4,087,155 restricted shares of common stock at a discount to 45 investors, generating $1,154,506 in cash.

The Scientific Advisory Board member released a stock option to purchase 5,000 shares of stock at the strike price of $4.00 with term expiring on October 17, 2007.

In 2007, 743,486 options and warrants were exercised, 90,486 options at $0.06, 350,000 options at $0.20, 30,000 warrants at $0.22, 10,000 options at $0.23, 20,000 options at $0.27, and 29,000 options at $0.44. In addition, 214,000 options were exercised cashless and 171,853 shares of stock were granted.

In 2007, 200,000 shares of common stock were issued to consultants in lieu of cash payments. We recognized $166,000 of expense for this issuance.

In January 2008, we entered into agreements with Firebird Global Master Fund, Ltd.  for the sale of  1,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, which is convertible into 4,000,000 shares of common stock, and warrants to purchase an additional 4,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.30 per share. We also issued to MidSouth Capital Markets Group, Inc. (“MidSouth”), the selling/placement agent in the private placement, warrants to purchase 640,000 shares of our common stock on the same terms and conditions as the warrants issued to Firebird. The warrants were issued to MidSouth pursuant to an agreement entered into with MidSouth in September 2007 to engage MidSouth to act as our placement agent in connection with a future private placement. Pursuant to the agreement, MidSouth was to receive for its services a warrant to purchase shares of our common stock equal to 8% of the number of common shares to be issued on an as converted basis in the private placement, with an exercise price of $.30 per share and exercisable for 5 years from the date of issuance.

33


On April 1, 2008, we issued Firebird Global Master Fund, Ltd. 84,198 shares of common stock, as a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock., valued at $23,005. The price of the common stock was calculated at 90% of the average of the 2 lowest VWAP (volume weighted average price) for the 5 trading days prior to the dividend payment due date. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, at the rate of 10% per annum, payable in cash or common stock in the discretion of the Company, are due quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 beginning on the first such date after the original issue date (January 8, 2008).

In January 2008, Joe Cummins received a $2,500 cash bonus and a $2,500 stock bonus (7,575 shares) as an award for closing the above $1 million funding with Firebird Global Master Fund, Ltd.

In January 2008, 100,000 options with 25,000 options vesting quarterly were issued to two consultants with exercise prices at market ($0.35) and 2 year terms.

In February 2008, the company entered into a 1 year consulting agreement to provide investor relations, public relations and shareholder relations services. The Company may terminate the agreement the remaining 9 months of services by giving notice on or before May 22, 2008. The Company agreed to pay the Consultant $30,000 plus a common stock grant of 90,000 shares for the first 3 months and if the agreement is continued the remainder of the term, an additional $7,500 per month for 8 months plus a common stock grant for 270,000 shares.

In connection with the foregoing, we relied upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and transfer was restricted by Amarillo in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. All of the above-referenced persons were provided with access to our Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

Item 17.
Undertakings
 
A. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
1.
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
 
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
 
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.
 
2.
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
  
3.
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
4.
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
 
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (ss.230.424 of this chapter);
 
36

 
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
 
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
 
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

AMARILLO BIOSCIENCES, INC.
2006 EMPLOYEES STOCK OPTION AND
STOCK BONUS PLAN

ADOPTED FEBRUARY 20, 2006

ARTICLE I – GENERAL

1.01. Purposes.

The purposes of this 2006 Employees Stock Option and Stock Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) are to: (1) closely associate the interests of the employees of AMARILLO BIOSCIENCES, INC. (“ABI”) and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (collectively referred to as the “Company”) with the shareholders by reinforcing the relationship between participants’ rewards and shareholder gains; (2) provide selected, key employees with an equity ownership in the Company commensurate with Company performance, as reflected in increased shareholder value; (3) maintain competitive compensation levels; and (4) provide an incentive to selected, key employees for continuous employment with the Company.

1.02. Administration.

(a) The Plan shall be administered by a committee of outside (non-employee) directors appointed by the Board of Directors of ABI (the “Committee”), as constituted from time to time. The Committee shall consist of at least two members of the Board. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.02 to the contrary, so long as any equity security of the Company is registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), or any successor statute, all authority to exercise discretion with respect to participation in the Plan by persons who are (i) “officers” within the meaning of the applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations relating to Section 16 of the 1934 Act, or any successor statute, (ii) directors of the Company and/or (iii) beneficial owners of more than ten percent (10%) of any class of equity securities of the Company who are otherwise eligible to participate in the Plan, and the timing, pricing, amounts and other terms and conditions of awards granted under the Plan to such officers, directors and beneficial owners, shall be vested in the Committee, if all of the members of the Committee are disinterested persons within the meaning ascribed to such term in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act, or within any successor definition or under any successor rule (“disinterested persons”).

(b) The Committee shall have the authority, in its sole discretion and from time to time to:

 
- 1 -

 

 
(i)
designate the employees or classes of employees eligible to participate in the Plan;
 
   
(ii)
grant awards provided in the Plan in such form and amount, and subject to such vesting, as the Committee shall determine, provided that in no event shall the period for vesting be longer than that set forth in Section 2.04, below.

   
(iii)
impose such limitations, restrictions and conditions upon any such awards as the Committee shall deem appropriate; and

   
(iv)
interpret the Plan, adopt, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and make all other determinations and take all other action necessary or advisable for the implementation and administration of the Plan.

(c) Decisions and determinations of the Committee on all matters relating to the Plan shall be in its sole discretion and shall be conclusive. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action taken or decision made in good faith relating to the Plan or any award thereunder.

(d) With respect to persons subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successor under the 1934 Act. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Board of Directors or the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Board of Directors or the Committee, as applicable.

(e) All usual and reasonable expenses of the Committee shall be paid by the Company, and no member shall receive compensation with respect to his services for the Committee except as may be authorized by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors and the Committee may employ attorneys, consultants, accountants or other persons, and the Board of Directors, the Committee, the Company and its officers and directors shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions or valuations of any such persons. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Board of Directors or the Committee in good faith shall be final and binding upon all Employees who have received awards, and upon the Company and all other interested persons. No member of Board of Directors or the Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination, or interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan or awards made thereunder, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Board of Directors or the Committee against all loss, cost, expenses or damages, occasioned by any act or omission to act in connection with any such action, determination or interpretation under or of the Plan, consistent with the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

1.03. Eligibility for Participation.

Participants in the Plan shall be selected by the Committee from among the employees of the Company. In making this selection and in determining the form and amount of awards, the Committee shall consider any factors deemed relevant, including the individual’s functions, responsibilities, value of services to the Company and past and potential contributions to the Company’s profitability and sound growth.

1.04. Types of Awards Under Plan.

Awards under the Plan will be in the form of either Nonqualified Stock Options, as described in Article II, or Stock Grants, as described in Article III; provided, however, that Limited Rights, as described in Article IV, may be awarded with respect to Options concurrently or previously awarded.

1.05. Aggregate Limitation on Awards.

(a) Shares of stock which may be issued under the Plan shall be authorized and unissued or treasury shares of Common Stock of ABI (“Common Stock”). The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued or reserved under the Plan shall be five hundred thousand (500,000) shares.

(b) In addition to shares of Common Stock actually issued or reserved for Stock Grants or exercise of Nonqualified Stock Options, there shall be deemed to have been issued a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which Limited Rights (as described in Article IV) shall have been exercised.

(c) Any shares of Common Stock subject to a Nonqualified Stock Option which for any reason is terminated unexercised or expires shall again be available for issuance under the Plan, but shares subject to a Nonqualified Stock Option which are not issued as a result of the exercise of Limited Rights shall not again be available for issuance under the Plan.

1.06. Effective Date and Term of Plan.

(a) The Plan shall become effective on the date of adoption, as first above written.

(b) No awards shall be made under the Plan after the last day of the Company’s 2011 fiscal year provided, however, that the Plan and all awards made under the Plan prior to such date shall remain in effect until such awards have been satisfied or terminated in accordance with the Plan and the terms of such awards.

ARTICLE II – NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS

2.01. Award of Nonqualified Stock Options.

The Committee may, from time to time and subject to the provisions of the Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe, grant to any participant in the Plan one or more nonqualified stock options (“Nonqualified Stock Options” or “Options”), to purchase for cash the number of shares of Common Stock allotted by the Committee.

RE: Private Placement of Securities of Amarillo Biosciences, Inc.
(ENGAGEMENT LETTER)

Dear Dr. Cummins:
 
This letter (the “Engagement Letter” or the “Agreement”) confirms our understanding that Amarillo Biosciences, Inc. (AMAR) (together with its affiliates and subsidiaries, if any, "AMAR" or the "Company") has engaged MidSouth Capital Markets Group, Inc. ( the “Agent") to act, on a non-exclusive basis, as a placement agent ("Placement Agent") of the Company in connection with a best efforts private placement offering of the Company's Preferred or Common Stock (the "Placement" or “Offering”). This letter will confirm our acceptance and set forth the terms of the engagement agreed to between Agent and the Company. Placement Agent represents and agrees that in presenting the Company to potential investors, Placement Agent will use only the Information, information available from generally recognized public sources, and such other written documents or disclosures as may pre-approved by the Company in writing.
 
1. Information. In connection with the Placement Agent’s activities hereunder, the Company will furnish Agent with all material and information regarding the business and financial condition of the Company (the "Information"). The Company represents and warrants that all Information, including but not limited to the Company’s financial statements, will be complete and correct in all material respects and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. The Company recognizes and confirms that the Placement Agent: (i) will use and rely primarily on the Information and on information available from generally recognized public sources in performing the services contemplated by this letter without having independently verified the same; (ii) is authorized as the Company's financial advisor and placement agent to transmit to any prospective investor a copy or copies, forms of purchase agreements and any other legal documentation supplied to the Agent for transmission to prospective investors by or on behalf of the Company or by the Company's CEO or CFO and those officers, representatives or agents specifically identified by the Company’s CEO or CFO in writing, in connection with the performance of the Placement Agent’s services hereunder or any transaction contemplated hereby; (iii) the Placement Agent does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Information and such other information except as otherwise required by law; (iv) will not make an appraisal of any assets of the Company; and (v) retains the right to continue to perform due diligence during the course of the engagement. The Placement Agent agrees to keep the Information (that is non-public and intended by the Company to be kept confidential) confidential and will not make use thereof, except in connection with services hereunder for the Company, unless: (i) disclosure is required by law or requested by any government, regulatory or self-regulatory agency or body in which event the Agent will provide the Company with reasonable advance notice of such proposed disclosure; (ii) any Information is or becomes lawfully available to the public in the same form and format as provided to the Placement Agent; or (iii) any Information was or becomes generally available to the Placement Agent on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or any of its representatives.

2. Fees and Compensation. As compensation for services rendered and to be rendered hereunder by Agent, the Company agrees to pay Agent as follows:

An amount in cash equal to:
 
Page 1

 
a) Eight percent (8%) of the principal amount Sold to any investors Identified or Introduced by Agent, with all such sums payable at the time of each closing (a “Closing”) of the Placement ("Placement Fee"); “Sold” shall include the value of any debt or other consideration agreed to be paid by any investor for any securities issued or transferred pursuant to the Offering. Sold shall exclude convertible preferred stock dividends or interest paid with stock. Identified or Introduced includes direct and indirect introductions by the Agent or its agents and representations including, without limitation, where a party introduced to the Company introduces another party to the Company who then purchases the securities sold pursuant to the Offering or introduces another investor who purchases securities in the Offering, and so on. For greater clarity, in the event of a dispute as to whether the Agent Identified or Introduced an investor to the Company in connection with the Offering, the following question shall be answered: But for the acts of the Agent, would the sale of the securities in the Offering have taken place? If the answer to that question is “No”, then the Agent shall be deemed to have Identified or Introduced that purchaser for purposes of earning the Placement Fee. The preceding test is not the exclusive test for determining whether the Placement Fee is earned by the Agent but is only an example.
 
b) At each Closing, the Company will issue to Agent a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock equal to Eight percent (8%) of the number of common shares ("Shares") to be issued on an as converted basis in the Placement. Such Warrant will be issued pursuant to a Warrant Agreement to be signed by Agent and the Company, which agreement shall provide, among other things, that the Warrant shall be exercisable at an exercise price equal to $.30 per share., shall expire five (5 ) years from the date of issuance, include registration rights at the time that all shares issued in this Placement are registered, and provisions for cashless exercise and such other terms as are normal and customary for warrants of this type. The obligation of the Company to issue the Warrant is agreed to herein and is not dependent or contingent of the negotiation, execution and delivery of a Warrant Agreement.
 
c) The Company will reimburse the Agent in a timely manner for reasonable expenses relating to the Placement, including road show expenses, travel, legal and other related expenses up to $5,000.00. Company shall make such reimbursements promptly to Agent.

d) Notwithstanding any termination of this Engagement Letter pursuant to the terms hereof or otherwise, the obligation to pay the Fees and Compensation described in Section 2 shall survive any termination or expiration of the Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that any private financing of equity or debt or other capital raising activity of the Company within twenty four (24) months of the termination or expiration of the Agreement, with any investors or lenders to whom the Company was Identified or Introduced by the Agent while the Agreement was in effect and disclosed to the Company in writing (such list to be communicated to the Company each time one new Investor has been contacted), shall result in such fees and compensation due and payable by the Company to Agent under the same terms of Section 2 above. Written Company approval is required for Placement Agent to contact more than one investor or lender. Any investors or lenders previously contacted by other Finders or Agents of the Company are excluded from the provisions of this agreement and the Company has provided a list of such investors or lenders below in the heading, Attachment A (Previously Contacted Investors). Upon completion of the Offering, any future renegotiation, restructuring, revision or other amendment of such Offering by and between the Company and the investors in such Offering which results in the receipt of any net new funds or commitment with respect thereto by the Company from such investor(s) within twenty four (24) months of the completion of the Offering shall be deemed to be a new financing and shall result in additional fees and compensation due and payable by the Company to Agent under the terms of Section 2 above.
 
3. Certain Placement Procedures. The Company and the Placement Agent each represents to the other that it has not taken, and the Company and the Placement Agent each agrees with the other that it will not take any action, directly or indirectly, so as to cause the Placement to fail to be entitled to rely upon the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or other appropriate exemption including, without limitation, exemption under Sections 4(2), 4(6) or 3(b) of the Act. In effecting the Placement, the Company and the Placement Agent each agrees to comply in all material respects with applicable provisions of the Act and any regulations there under and any applicable state laws and requirements. The Company agrees that any representations and warranties made by it to any investor in the Placement shall be deemed also to be made to the Placement Agent for its benefit. The Company agrees that it shall cause any opinion of its counsel delivered to any investors in the Placement also to be addressed and delivered to the Placement Agent for its benefit, or to cause such counsel to deliver to the Placement Agent a letter authorizing it to rely upon such opinion.

4. Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify Placement Agent and related persons in accordance with the following: The provisions of which are incorporated herein in their entirety. In consideration of your agreement to act on our behalf in connection with such matters, we agree to indemnify and hold harmless you and your affiliates and you and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents and each other person, if any, controlling you or any of your affiliates (you and each such other person being an "Indemnified Person") from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities related to, arising out of or in connection with the engagement (the "Engagement") under the Engagement Letter, and will reimburse each Indemnified Person for all expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) as they are incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding related to, arising out of or in connection with the Engagement, whether or not pending or threatened and whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party. We will not, however, be responsible for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or expenses relating thereto) that are finally judicially determined to have resulted from the bad faith or gross negligence of any Indemnified Person. We also agree that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to us for or in connection with the Engagement except for any such liability for losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred by us that are finally judicially determined to have resulted from the bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person.
 
Page 2

 
We will not, without your prior written consent, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, claim, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes a release of each Indemnified Person from any liabilities without payment by such person arising out of such action, claim, suit or proceeding. No Indemnified Person seeking indemnification, reimbursement or contribution under this agreement will, without our prior written consent, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding referred to in the preceding paragraph.
 
If the indemnification provided for in the paragraph 4 of this Engagement Letter is judicially determined to be unavailable (other than in accordance with the third sentence of the first paragraph hereof of paragraph 4) to an Indemnified person in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, then, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person hereunder, we shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (and expense relating thereto) (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to you, on the one hand, and us, on the other hand, of the Engagement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not available, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in such clause (i) but also the relative fault of each of you and us, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, in no event shall your aggregate contribution to the amount paid or payable exceed the aggregate amount of fees actually received by you under the Engagement Letter. For the purposes of this agreement, the relative benefits to us and you of the Engagement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value paid or contemplated to be paid or received or contemplated to be received by us or our shareholders, as the case may be, in the transaction or transactions that are the subject of, whether or not any such transaction is consummated, bears to (b) the fees paid to you in connection with the Placement.

5. Termination; Survival of Provisions. This Agreement may be terminated by the Placement Agent or the Company at any time upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party, provided, however, that: (a) any termination or completion of the Placement Agents engagement hereunder shall not affect the Company's obligation to indemnify Agent as provided in the indemnification section referred to above and (b) any termination by the Company of Agent's engagement hereunder shall not affect the Company's obligation to pay fees to the extent provided for in Section 2 herein; and (c) any termination by Placement Agent of Agents engagement hereunder shall not affect the Company's obligation to pay fees and reimburse the expenses accruing prior to such termination to the extent provided for herein. All such fees and reimbursements due the Placement Agent, shall be paid to the Placement Agent on or before the Termination Date (in the event such fees and reimbursements are earned or owed as of the Termination Date) or upon the closing of the Placement or any applicable portion thereof (in the event such fees are due pursuant to the terms of Section 2 hereof).

6. Governing Law and Forum; Amendment; Headings; Plurals and Pronouns.

a) This Agreement and all controversies arising from and relating to performance under this agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without giving effect to such state's rules concerning conflicts of laws.

Each Party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement, and defense of the transactions contemplated by this agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in Fulton County, Georgia.

Placement Agent and the Company mutually agree that they will not disclose any confidential information received from the other party to others except with the written permission of the other party or as such disclosure may be required by law. Placement Agent has been retained under this agreement as an independent contractor with duties owed solely to the Company. The advice, written or oral, rendered by Agent pursuant to this Agreement is intended solely for the benefit and use of the Company in considering the matters to which this Agreement relates, and the Company agrees that such advice may not be relied upon by any other person, used for any other purpose, reproduced, disseminated, or referred to at any time, in any manner or for any purpose.

10. Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties, this Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be, and shall be deemed to be, an original instrument, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

This Engagement Letter between the parties shall supersede any and all prior agreements whether verbal or written. If the forgoing correctly reflects the understandings between Company and Agent, please sign this Letter, whereupon the Letter shall constitute a binding contract.
