PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

Anavex Life Sciences Corp., a Nevada corporation, is referred to as “Anavex,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” throughout this prospectus. The items in the following summary are described in more detail later in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider. Before investing in our securities, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6 and the financial statements and related notes beginning on page F-1.

Overview

We are a pharmaceutical company engaged in the development of drug candidates. Our lead compound ANAVEX 2-73 is being developed to treat Alzheimer’s disease through disease modification.

In pre-clinical studies conducted in France, and in Greece, ANAVEX 2-73 demonstrated anti-amnesic and neuroprotective properties. Based on these pre-clinical studies, we sponsored a Phase 1 single ascending dose study of ANAVEX 2-73 initiated and completed in 2011. This study was conducted in Germany in collaboration with ABX-CRO Advanced Pharmaceutical Services (ABX-CRO). The study indicated that ANAVEX 2-73 was well tolerated by study subjects in doses up to 55mg. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we have not yet continued our clinical trials due to a lack of funding.

The Company plans to initiate a multiple ascending dose study of ANAVEX 2-73 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. Additionally we intend to identify and initiate discussions with potential partners in the next 12 months. Further, we may acquire or develop new intellectual property and assign, license, or otherwise transfer our intellectual property to further our goals.

Our Pipeline

Our pipeline includes one drug candidate and several compounds in different stages of pre-clinical study.

Our proprietary SIGMACEPTOR™ Discovery Platform produced small molecule drug candidates with unique modes of action, based on our leading understanding of sigma receptors. Sigma receptors may be targets for therapeutics to combat many human diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. When bound by the appropriate ligands, sigma receptors influence the functioning of multiple biochemical signals that are involved in the pathogenesis (origin or development) of disease.

Compounds that have been subjects of our research include the following:

ANAVEX 2-73

ANAVEX 2-73 may offer a disease-modifying approach in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by using ligands that activate sigma-1 receptors.

In AD animal models, ANAVEX 2-73 has shown pharmacological, histological and behavioral evidence as a potential neuroprotective, anti-amnesic, anti-convulsive and anti-depressive therapeutic agent, due to its potent affinity to sigma-1 receptors and moderate affinities to M1-4 type muscarinic receptors. In addition, ANAVEX 2-73 has shown a potential dual mechanism which may impact both amyloid and tau pathology.

Based on the results of pre-clinical testing, we initiated and completed a Phase 1 single ascending dose (SAD) clinical trial of ANAVEX 2-73 in 2011. In this Phase 1 SAD trial, the maximum tolerated single dose was defined per protocol as 55-60 mg. This dose is above the equivalent dose shown to have positive effects in mouse models of AD. There were no significant changes in laboratory or electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters. ANAVEX 2-73 was well tolerated below the 55-60 mg dose with only mild adverse events in some subjects. Observed adverse events at doses above the maximum tolerated single dose included headache and dizziness, which were moderate in severity and reversible. These side effects are often seen with drugs that target central nervous system (CNS) conditions, including AD.

The ANAVEX 2-73 Phase 1 SAD trial was conducted as a randomized, placebo-controlled study. Healthy male volunteers between the ages of 18 and 55 received single, ascending oral doses over the course of the trial. Study endpoints included safety and tolerability together with pharmacokinetic parameters. Pharmacokinetics includes the absorption and distribution of a drug, the rate at which a drug enters the blood and the duration of its effect, as well as chemical changes of the substance in the body. This study was conducted in Germany in collaboration with ABX-CRO, a clinical research organization that has conducted several Alzheimer’s disease studies, and the Technical University of Dresden.

ANAVEX 19-144

ANAVEX 19-144 is the sole active metabolite of ANAVEX 2-73. Like ANAVEX 2-73, pre-clinical data reveals that ANAVEX 19-144 exhibits significant anti-amnesic, neuroprotective and anticonvulsant properties in a variety of in vitro systems and specialized animal models.

In animal models, ANAVEX 19-144 controls seizures and the epileptogenesis process. Moreover, its neuroprotective properties may prevent the process that causes long-term damage to tissue and cells as well as biochemical and physiological alterations to the brain from epileptic seizures.

ANAVEX 1-41

ANAVEX 1-41 is a sigma-1 agonist. Pre-clinical tests revealed significant neuroprotective benefits (i.e., protects nerve cells from degeneration or death) through the modulation of endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondrial and oxidative stress, which damages and destroys cells and is believed by some scientists to be a primary cause of AD. In addition, in animal models, ANAVEX 1-41 prevented the expression of caspase-3, an enzyme that plays a key role in apoptosis (programmed cell death) and loss of cells in the hippocampus, the part of the brain that regulates learning, emotion and memory. These activities involve both muscarinic and sigma-1 receptor systems through a novel mechanism of action.

ANAVEX 7-1037

ANAVEX 7-1037 is designed for the treatment of prostate cancer. It is a low molecular weight, synthetic compound exhibiting high affinity for sigma-1 receptors at nanomolar levels and moderate affinity for sigma-2 receptors and sodium channels at micromolar levels. In advanced pre-clinical studies, this compound revealed antitumor potential with no toxic side effects. It has also been shown to selectively kill human cancer cells without affecting normal/healthy cells and also to significantly suppress tumor growth in immune-deficient mice models.

Scientific publications describe sigma receptor ligands positively, highlighting the possibility that these ligands may stop tumor growth and induce selective cell death in various tumor cell lines. Sigma receptors are highly expressed in different tumor cell types. Binding by appropriate sigma-1 and/or sigma-2 ligands can induce selective apoptosis. In addition, through tumor cell membrane reorganization and interactions with ion channels, our drug candidates may play an important role in inhibiting the processes of metastasis (spreading of cancer cells from the original site to other parts of the body), angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and tumor cell proliferation.

Our compounds are in the pre-clinical and clinical testing stages of development, and there is no guarantee that the activity demonstrated in pre-clinical models will be shown in human testing.

The Offering

On July 5, 2013, we entered into a purchase agreement with Lincoln Park, which we refer to in this prospectus as the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to $10,000,000 of our common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over a 25-month period. Also on July 5, 2013, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, or the Registration Rights Agreement, with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which we have filed with the SEC the registration statement that includes this prospectus to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares that have been or may be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement.

Other than (i) 250,000 shares of our common stock that we have already issued to Lincoln Park for a total purchase price of $100,000 as an initial purchase under the Purchase Agreement, or the Initial Purchase, and (ii) 341,858 shares of our common stock that we have already issued to Lincoln Park pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement as consideration for its commitment to purchase additional shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement, we do not have the right to commence any further sales to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement until the SEC has declared effective the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Thereafter, we may, from time to time and at our sole discretion, direct Lincoln Park to purchase shares of our common stock in amounts up to 100,000 shares on any single business day so long as at least one business day has passed since the most recent purchase. We can also accelerate the amount of our common stock to be purchased under certain circumstances to up to 150,000 shares but not exceeding $500,000 per purchase plus an additional “accelerated amount” under certain circumstances. Except as described in this prospectus we will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to Lincoln Park. The purchase price of the shares that may be sold to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement will be based on the market price of our common stock immediately preceding the time of sale as computed under the Purchase Agreement without any fixed discount; provided that in no event will such shares be sold to Lincoln Park when our closing sale price is less than $0.50 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price per share will be equitably adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, or other similar transaction occurring during the business days used to compute such price. We may at any time in our sole discretion terminate the Purchase Agreement without fee, penalty or cost upon one business day notice. Lincoln Park may not assign or transfer its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

As of October 1, 2013, there were 37,237,587 shares of our common stock outstanding, of which 29,919,897 shares were held by non-affiliates, excluding the 591,858 shares that we have already issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. Although the Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to $10,000,000 of our common stock to Lincoln Park, only 9,975,267 shares of our common stock are being offered under this prospectus, which represents (i) 250,000 shares that we issued to Lincoln Park in the Initial Purchase, (ii) 341,858 shares that we issued to Lincoln Park as a commitment fee (iii) an additional 9,250,000 shares which may be issued to Lincoln Park in the future under the Purchase Agreement and (iv) 133,409 shares that we are required to issue proportionally in the future, as an additional commitment fee, if and when we sell shares to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The additional commitment shares are issued pro rata as Lincoln Park purchases up to $10,000,000 of our common stock as directed by us. For example, if we elect, at our sole discretion, to require Lincoln Park to

purchase $100,000 of our stock then we would issue 1,334 shares of the pro rata commitment fee which is the product of $100,000 (the amount we have elected to sell) divided by $10,000,000 (the total amount we can sell Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement multiplied by 133,409 (the total number of pro rata commitment shares). The pro rata commitment shares will only be issued pursuant to this formula as and when we elect at our discretion to sell stock to Lincoln Park. Lincoln Park may not assign or transfer its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement. If all of the 9,975,267 shares offered by Lincoln Park under this prospectus were issued and outstanding as of the date hereof, such shares would represent 21% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding and 33.3% of the total number of outstanding shares held by non-affiliates, in each case as of the date hereof. If we elect to issue and sell more than the 9,975,267 shares offered under this prospectus to Lincoln Park, which we have the right, but not the obligation, to do, we must first register for resale under the Securities Act any such additional shares, which could cause additional substantial dilution to our stockholders. The number of shares ultimately offered for resale by Lincoln Park is dependent upon the number of shares we sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement.

Issuances of our common stock in this offering will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing stockholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing stockholders will be diluted as a result of any such issuance. Although the number of shares of common stock that our existing stockholders own will not decrease, the shares owned by our existing stockholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding shares after any such issuance to Lincoln Park.

RISK FACTORS

Before you make a decision to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks described below, together with other information in this prospectus. If any of the following events actually occur, our business, operating results, prospects or financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks described below are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations and could result in a complete loss of your investment.

Risks Related to our Company

We have had a history of losses and no revenue, which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Since inception on January 23, 2004 through June 30, 2013, we have an accumulated deficit of $38,216,467. As of September 31, 2012 and as of June 30, 2013, we had a working capital deficiency of $2,875,747 and $3,553,364, respectively. We can offer no assurance that we will ever operate profitably or that we will generate positive cash flow in the future. To date, we have not generated any revenues from our operations. Our history of losses and no revenues raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As a result, our management expects the business to continue to experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future and cannot predict when, if ever, our business might become profitable. We will need to raise additional funds, and such funds may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to execute our business plan, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements. This may seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are an early development stage pharmaceutical research and development company and may never be able to successfully develop marketable products or generate any revenue. We have a very limited relevant operating history upon which an evaluation of our performance and prospects can be made. There is no assurance that our future operations will result in profits. If we cannot generate sufficient revenues, we may suspend or cease operations.

We are an early development stage company and have not generated any revenues to date and have no operating history. All of our potential drug compounds are in the concept stage or early clinical development stage. Moreover, we cannot be certain that our research and development efforts will be successful or, if successful, that our potential drug compounds will ever be approved for sales to pharmaceutical companies or generate commercial revenues. We have no relevant operating history upon which an evaluation of our performance and prospects can be made. We are subject to all of the business risks associated with a new enterprise, including, but not limited to, risks of unforeseen capital requirements, failure of potential drug compounds either in non-clinical testing or in clinical trials, failure to establish business relationships and competitive disadvantages against larger and more established companies. If we fail to become profitable, we may suspend or cease operations.

We may need additional funding and may be unable to raise additional capital when needed, which would force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development activities.

We may need to raise additional funding, but the current economic condition may have a negative impact on our ability to raise additional needed capital on terms that are favorable to our company or at all. We may not be able to generate significant revenues for several years, if at all. Until we can generate significant revenues, if ever, we expect to satisfy our future cash needs through equity or debt financing. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our research and development activities.

We may be unable to continue as a going concern in which case our securities will have little or no value.

Our independent auditors have noted in their report concerning our annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 that we have incurred substantial losses since inception, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In the event we are not able to continue operations you will likely suffer a complete loss of your investment in our securities.

Risks Related to our Business

Even if we are able to develop our potential drug compounds, we may not be able to receive regulatory approval, or if approved, we may not be able to generate significant revenues or successfully commercialize our products, which will adversely affect our financial results and financial condition and we will have to delay or terminate some or all of our research and development plans and we may be forced to cease operations.

All of our potential drug compounds will require extensive additional research and development, including non-clinical testing and clinical trials, as well as regulatory approvals, before we can market them. We cannot predict if or when any of the potential drug compounds we intend to develop will be approved for marketing. There are many reasons that we may fail in our efforts to develop our potential drug compounds. These include:

the possibility that non-clinical testing or clinical trials may show that our potential drug compounds are ineffective and/or cause harmful side effects;
our potential drug compounds may prove to be too expensive to manufacture or administer to patients;
our potential drug compounds may fail to receive necessary regulatory approvals from the United States Food and Drug Administration or foreign regulatory authorities in a timely manner, or at all;
even if our potential drug compounds are approved, we may not be able to produce them in commercial quantities or at reasonable costs;
even if our potential drug compounds are approved, they may not achieve commercial acceptance;
regulatory or governmental authorities may apply restrictions to any of our potential drug compounds, which could adversely affect their commercial success; and
the proprietary rights of other parties may prevent us or our potential collaborative partners from marketing our potential drug compounds.

If we fail to develop our potential drug compounds, our financial results and financial condition will be adversely affected, we will have to delay or terminate some or all of our research and development plans and may be forced to cease operations.

Our research and development plans will require substantial additional future funding which could impact our operational and financial condition. Without the required additional funds, we will likely cease operations.

It will take several years before we are able to develop potentially marketable products, if at all. Our research and development plans will require substantial additional capital, arising from costs to:

conduct research, non-clinical testing and human studies;
establish pilot scale and commercial scale manufacturing processes and facilities; and
establish and develop quality control, regulatory, marketing, sales, finance and administrative capabilities to support these programs.

Our future operating and capital needs will depend on many factors, including:

the pace of scientific progress in our research and development programs and the magnitude of these programs;
the scope and results of pre-clinical testing and human studies;
the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals;
the time and costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patents;
competing technological and market developments;

our ability to establish additional collaborations;
changes in our existing collaborations;
the cost of manufacturing scale-up; and
the effectiveness of our commercialization activities.

We base our outlook regarding the need for funds on many uncertain variables. Such uncertainties include the success of our research initiatives, regulatory approvals, the timing of events outside our direct control such as negotiations with potential strategic partners and other factors. Any of these uncertain events can significantly change our cash requirements as they determine such one-time events as the receipt or payment of major milestones and other payments.

Additional funds will be required to support our operations and if we are unable to obtain them on favorable terms, we may be required to cease or reduce further research and development of our drug product programs, sell some or all of our intellectual property, merge with another entity or cease operations.

If we fail to demonstrate efficacy in our non-clinical studies and clinical trials our future business prospects, financial condition and operating results will be materially adversely affected.

The success of our research and development efforts will be greatly dependent upon our ability to demonstrate potential drug compound efficacy in non-clinical studies, as well as in clinical trials. Non-clinical studies involve testing potential drug compounds in appropriate non-human disease models to demonstrate efficacy and safety. Regulatory agencies evaluate these data carefully before they will approve clinical testing in humans. If certain non-clinical data reveals potential safety issues or the results are inconsistent with an expectation of the potential drug compound’s efficacy in humans, the regulatory agencies may require additional more rigorous testing, before allowing human clinical trials. This additional testing will increase program expenses and extend timelines. We may decide to suspend further testing on our potential drug compounds if, in the judgment of our management and advisors, the non-clinical test results do not support further development.

Moreover, success in non-clinical testing and early clinical trials does not ensure that later clinical trials will be successful, and we cannot be sure that the results of later clinical trials will replicate the results of prior clinical trials and non-clinical testing. The clinical trial process may fail to demonstrate that our potential drug compounds are safe for humans and effective for indicated uses. This failure would cause us to abandon a drug candidate and may delay development of other potential drug compounds. Any delay in, or termination of, our non-clinical testing or clinical trials will delay the filing of an investigational new drug application and new drug application with the Food and Drug Administration or the equivalent applications with pharmaceutical regulatory authorities outside the United States and, ultimately, our ability to commercialize our potential drug compounds and generate product revenues. In addition, we expect that our early clinical trials will involve small patient populations. Because of the small sample size, the results of these early clinical trials may not be indicative of future results.

Following successful non-clinical testing, potential drug compounds will need to be tested in a clinical development program to provide data on safety and efficacy prior to becoming eligible for product approval and licensure by regulatory agencies. From the first human trial through to regulatory approval can take many years and 10-12 years is not unusual for certain compounds.

If any of our future clinical development potential drug compounds become the subject of problems, our ability to sustain our development programs will become critically compromised. For example, efficacy or safety concerns may arise, whether or not justified, that could lead to the suspension or termination of our clinical programs. Examples of problems that could arise include, among others:

efficacy or safety concerns with the potential drug compounds, even if not justified;
manufacturing difficulties or concerns;
regulatory proceedings subjecting the potential drug compounds to potential recall;
publicity affecting doctor prescription or patient use of the potential drug compounds;
pressure from competitive products; or

introduction of more effective treatments.

Each clinical phase is designed to test attributes of the drug and problems that might result in the termination of the entire clinical plan can be revealed at any time throughout the overall clinical program. The failure to demonstrate efficacy in our clinical trials would have a material adverse effect on our future business prospects, financial condition and operating results.

If we do not obtain the support of qualified scientific collaborators, our revenue, growth and profitability will likely be limited, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

We will need to establish relationships with leading scientists and research institutions. We believe that such relationships are pivotal to establishing products using our technologies as a standard of care for various indications. Additionally, although in discussion, there is no assurance that our current research partners will continue to work with us or that we will be able to attract additional research partners. If we are not able to establish scientific relationships to assist in our research and development, we may not be able to successfully develop our potential drug compounds. If this happens, our business will be adversely affected.

We may not be able to develop market or generate sales of our products to the extent anticipated. Our business may fail and investors could lose all of their investment in our company.

Assuming that we are successful in developing our potential drug compounds and receiving regulatory clearances to market our products, our ability to successfully penetrate the market and generate sales of those products may be limited by a number of factors, including the following:

If our competitors receive regulatory approvals for and begin marketing similar products in the United States, the European Union, Japan and other territories before we do, greater awareness of their products as compared to ours will cause our competitive position to suffer;
Information from our competitors or the academic community indicating that current products or new products are more effective or offer compelling other benefits than our future products could impede our market penetration or decrease our future market share; and
The pricing and reimbursement environment for our future products, as well as pricing and reimbursement decisions by our competitors and by payers, may have an effect on our revenues.

If this happens, our business will be adversely affected.

None of our potential drug compounds may reach the commercial market for a number of reasons and our business may fail.

Successful research and development of pharmaceutical products is high risk. Most products and development candidates fail to reach the market. Our success depends on the discovery of new drug compounds that we can commercialize. It is possible that our products may never reach the market for a number of reasons. They may be found ineffective or may cause harmful side-effects during non-clinical testing or clinical trials or fail to receive necessary regulatory approvals. We may find that certain products cannot be manufactured at a commercial scale and, therefore, they may not be economical to produce. Our potential products could also fail to achieve market acceptance or be precluded from commercialization by proprietary rights of third parties. Our patents, trademarks and other intellectual property may be challenged and this may delay or prohibit us from effectively commercializing our products. Furthermore, we do not expect our potential drug compounds to be commercially available for a number of years, if at all. If none of our potential drug compounds reach the commercial market, our business will likely fail and investors will lose all of their investment in our company. If this happens, our business will be adversely affected.

If our competitors succeed in developing products and technologies that are more effective or with a better profile than our own, or if scientific developments change our understanding of the potential scope and utility of our potential products, then our technologies and future products may be rendered undesirable or obsolete.

We face significant competition from industry participants that are pursuing technologies in similar disease states to those that we are pursuing and are developing pharmaceutical products that are competitive with our products. Nearly all of our industry competitors have greater capital resources, larger overall research and development staffs and facilities, and a longer history in drug discovery and development, obtaining regulatory approval and pharmaceutical product manufacturing and marketing than we do. With these additional resources, our competitors may be able to respond to the rapid and significant technological changes in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries faster than we can. Our future success will depend in large part on our ability to maintain a competitive position with respect to these technologies. Rapid technological development, as well as new scientific developments, may result in our products becoming obsolete before we can recover any of the expenses incurred to develop them. For example, changes in our understanding of the appropriate population of patients who should be treated with a targeted therapy like we are developing may limit the drug’s market potential if it is subsequently demonstrated that only certain subsets of patients should be treated with the targeted therapy.

Our reliance on third parties, such as university laboratories, contract manufacturing organizations and contract or clinical research organizations, may result in delays in completing, or a failure to complete, non-clinical testing or clinical trials if they fail to perform under our agreements with them.

In the course of product development, we may engage university laboratories, other biotechnology companies or contract or clinical manufacturing organizations to manufacture drug material for us to be used in non-clinical and clinical testing and contract research organizations to conduct and manage non-clinical and clinical studies. If we engage these organizations to help us with our non-clinical and clinical programs, many important aspects of this process have been and will be out of our direct control. If any of these organizations we may engage in the future fail to perform their obligations under our agreements with them or fail to perform non-clinical testing and/or clinical trials in a satisfactory manner, we may face delays in completing our clinical trials, as well as commercialization of any of our potential drug compounds. Furthermore, any loss or delay in obtaining contracts with such entities may also delay the completion of our clinical trials, regulatory filings and the potential market approval of our potential drug compounds.

If we fail to compete successfully with respect to partnering, licensing, mergers, acquisitions, joint venture and other collaboration opportunities, we may be limited in our ability to research and develop our potential drug compounds.

Our competitors compete with us to attract established biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies or organizations for partnering, licensing, mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures or other collaborations. Collaborations include contracting with academic research institutions for the performance of specific scientific testing. If our competitors successfully enter into partnering arrangements or license agreements with academic research institutions, we will then be precluded from pursuing those specific opportunities. Since each of these opportunities is unique, we may not be able to find a substitute. Other companies have already begun many drug development programs, which may target diseases that we are also targeting, and have already entered into partnering and licensing arrangements with academic research institutions, reducing the pool of available opportunities.

Universities and public and private research institutions also compete with us. While these organizations primarily have educational or basic research objectives, they may develop proprietary technology and acquire patent applications and patents that we may need for the development of our potential drug compounds. We will attempt to license this proprietary technology, if available. These licenses may not be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to compete successfully with respect to acquisitions, joint venture and other collaboration opportunities, we may be limited in our ability to develop new products.

The use of any of our products in clinical trials may expose us to liability claims, which may cost us a significant amounts of money to defend against or pay out, causing our business to suffer.

The nature of our business exposes us to potential liability risks inherent in the testing, manufacturing and marketing of our products. We currently have one drug compound in clinical trials, however, when any of our products enter into clinical trials or become marketed products they could potentially harm people or allegedly harm people and we may be subject to costly and damaging product liability claims. Some of the patients who participate in clinical trials are already ill when they enter a trial or may intentionally or unintentionally fail to meet the exclusion criteria. The waivers we obtain may not be enforceable and may not protect us from liability or the costs of product liability litigation. Although we intend to obtain product liability insurance that we believe is adequate, we are subject to the risk that our insurance will not be sufficient to cover claims. The insurance costs along with the defense or payment of liabilities above the amount of coverage could cost us significant amounts of money and management distraction from other elements of the business, causing our business to suffer.

The patent positions of biopharmaceutical products are complex and uncertain and we may not be able to protect our patented or other intellectual property. If we cannot protect this property, we may be prevented from using it or our competitors may use it and our business could suffer significant harm. Also, the time and money we spend on acquiring and enforcing patents and other intellectual property will reduce the time and money we have available for our research and development, possibly resulting in a slow down or cessation of our research and development.

We own patent applications related to our potential drug compounds. However, these patent applications do not ensure the protection of our intellectual property for a number of reasons, including the following:

1.	Competitors may interfere with our patenting process in a variety of ways. Competitors may claim that they invented the claimed invention prior to us. Competitors may also claim that we are infringing their patents and restrict our freedom to operate. Competitors may also contest our patents and patent application, if issued, by showing the patent examiner that the invention was not original, was not novel or was obvious. In litigation, a competitor could claim that our patents and patent application are not valid for a number of reasons. If a court agrees, we would lose that patents or patent application. As a company, we have no meaningful experience with competitors interfering with our patents or patent applications.
2.	Because of the time, money and effort involved in obtaining and enforcing patents, our management may spend less time and resources on developing potential drug compounds than they otherwise would, which could increase our operating expenses and delay product programs.
3.	Issuance of a patent may not provide much practical protection. If we receive a patent with a narrow scope, then it may be easier for competitors to design products that do not infringe our patent(s).
4.	No patents have been issued yet in the United States.
5.	In addition, competitors also seek patent protection for their inventions. Due to the number of patents in our field, we cannot be certain that a final product or process will not infringe on existing patents or that we will not infringe on patents granted in the future. If a patent holder believes our drug compound, its method of manufacture or use, infringes on their patent, the patent holder may sue us even if we have received patent protection for our technology. If sued for patent infringement, we would face a number of issues which could cause a slow down or cessation of our research and development, including the following:
	(a)	Defending a lawsuit takes significant time and can be very expensive.
	(b)	If a court decides that our drug compound, its method of manufacture or use, infringes on the competitor’s patent, we may have to pay substantial damages for past infringement.
	(c)	A court may prohibit us from selling or licensing the potential drug compound unless the patent holder licenses the patent to us. The patent holder is not required to grant us a license. If a license is available, we may have to pay substantial royalties or grant cross licenses to our patents.
	(d)	Redesigning our potential drug compounds so that they do not infringe on other patents may not be possible or could require substantial funds and time.

It is also unclear whether our trade secrets are adequately protected. While we use reasonable efforts to protect our trade secrets, our employees or consultants may unintentionally or willfully disclose our information to competitors. Enforcing a claim that someone illegally obtained and is using our trade secrets, like patent litigation, is expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States are sometimes less willing to protect trade secrets. Our competitors may independently develop equivalent knowledge, methods and know-how.

We may also support and collaborate in research conducted by government organizations, hospitals, universities or other educational institutions. These research partners may be unwilling to grant us any exclusive rights to technology or products derived from these collaborations prior to entering into the relationship.

If we do not obtain required licenses or rights, we could encounter delays in our product development efforts while we attempt to design around other patents or even be prohibited from developing, manufacturing or selling potential drug compounds requiring these rights or licenses. There is also a risk that disputes may arise as to the rights to technology or potential drug compounds developed in collaboration with other parties.

Our substantial debt and other financial obligations could impair our financial condition and our ability to fulfill our debt obligations. Any refinancing of this substantial debt could be at significantly higher interest rates.

As of June 30, 2013, we had total liabilities of $3,556,844 and accumulated deficit of $38,216,467. Our substantial indebtedness and other current financial obligations and any that we may become a party to in the future could:

impair our ability to obtain financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, or general corporate purposes;
have a material adverse effect on us if we fail to comply with financial and affirmative and restrictive covenants in debt agreements and an event of default occurs as a result of a failure that is not cured or waived;
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow for interest payments on our indebtedness and other financial obligations, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital and capital expenditures;
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; and
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have proportionally less debt.

If we are unable to meet our debt service obligations and other financial obligations, we could be forced to restructure or refinance our indebtedness and other financial transactions, seek additional equity capital or sell our assets. We might then be unable to obtain such financing or capital or sell our assets on satisfactory terms, if at all. Any refinancing of our indebtedness could be at significantly higher interest rates, and/or incur significant transaction fees.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations and would severely dilute existing or future investors if we were to raise funds at lower prices.

A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because our operations have been financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our continued operations. Any reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future would force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and would have a significant negative effect on our business plans and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. If our stock price declines, there can be no assurance that we can raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations. We believe the following factors could cause the market price of our common stock to continue to fluctuate widely and could cause our common stock to trade at a price below the price at which you purchase your shares of common stock:

actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results;

announcements of new services, products, acquisitions or strategic relationships by us or our competitors;
changes in accounting treatments or principles;
changes in earnings estimates by securities analysts and in analyst recommendations; and
general political, economic, regulatory and market conditions.

The market price for our common stock may also be affected by our ability to meet or exceed expectations of analysts or investors. Any failure to meet these expectations, even if minor, could materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

If we issue additional shares of common stock in the future, such as in the case of the LPC Financing, it will result in the dilution of our existing stockholders.

Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 150,000,000 shares of common stock. Our board of directors has the authority to issue additional shares of common stock up to the authorized capital stated in the articles of incorporation. Our board of directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares of common stock to acquire one or more businesses or to provide additional financing in the future, such as took place with respect to the Purchase Agreement. The issuance of any such shares of common stock will result in a reduction of the book value or market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we do issue any such additional shares of common stock, such issuance also will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other stockholders. Further, any such issuance may result in a change of control of our corporation.

Trading of our common stock may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.

There is currently a limited market for our common stock and the volume of our common stock traded on any day may vary significantly from one period to another. Our common stock is quoted on OTC Market’s OTCQB. Trading in stock quoted on OTC Market’s OTCQB is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. The availability of buyers and sellers represented by this volatility could lead to a market price for our common stock that is unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, OTC Market’s OTCQB is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities quoted on OTC Market’s OTCQB is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a stock exchange like NASDAQ. There is no assurance that a sufficient market will develop in the stock, in which case it could be difficult for our stockholders to resell their stock.

Our stock is classed as a “penny stock”. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 (excluding the value of the primary residence of such individuals) or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for shares of our common stock.

The sale or issuance of our common stock to Lincoln Park may cause dilution and the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by Lincoln Park, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to fall

On July 5, 2013, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which Lincoln Park has committed to purchase up to $10,000,000 of our common stock. Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, we issued 341,858 shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park as a fee for its commitment to purchase shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement. The purchase shares that may be sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement may be sold by us to Lincoln Park at our discretion from time to time over a 25-month period commencing after the SEC has declared effective the registration statement that includes this prospectus. The purchase price for the shares that we may sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement will fluctuate based on the price of our common stock. Depending on market liquidity at the time, sales of such shares may cause the trading price of our common stock to fall.

We generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares to Lincoln Park, except that, pursuant to the terms of our agreements with Lincoln Park, we would be unable to sell shares to Lincoln Park if and when the closing sale price of our common stock is below $0.50 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Additional sales of our common stock, if any, to Lincoln Park will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. Lincoln Park may ultimately purchase all, some or none of the shares of our common stock that may be sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and, after it has acquired shares, Lincoln Park may sell all, some or none of those shares. Therefore, sales to Lincoln Park by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus involve a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results include, but are not limited to, those discussed in “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this prospects. Readers are expressly advised to review and consider those Risk Factors, which include risks associated with (1) our ability to successfully conduct clinical and pre-clinical trials for our product candidates, (2) our ability to obtain required regulatory approvals to develop and market our product candidates, (3) our ability to raise additional capital on favorable terms, (4) our ability to execute our development plan on time and on budget, (5) our ability to obtain commercial partners, (6) our ability, whether alone or with commercial partners, to successfully commercialize any of our product candidates that may be approved for sale, and (7) our ability to identify and obtain additional product candidates. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore there can be no assurance that such statements will be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or our objectives and plans will be achieved. Furthermore, past performance in operations and share price is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Except as required by applicable laws including the securities laws of the United States and Canada, we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

USE OF PROCEEDS

This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by Lincoln Park. We will not receive any proceeds upon the sale of shares by Lincoln Park in this offering. However, we may receive gross proceeds of up to $10,000,000 under the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park over an approximately 25-month period, assuming that we sell the full amount of our common stock that we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park under that agreement. See “Plan of Distribution” elsewhere in this prospectus for more information.

We will retain broad discretion in determining how we will allocate the proceeds from any sales to Lincoln Park. However, we expect that any proceeds that we receive from sales to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement will be used to further our business plan of advancing human clinical trials of AVAVEX 2-73 and for general corporate and administrative purposes.

Although we have no specific plans for use of proceeds as of the date of this prospectus, we believe that approximately 65% of any proceeds received may be used towards our advancing human clinical trials of AVAVEX 2-73 and approximately 35% of any proceeds received may used for our general corporate and administrative activities related to our operations as a reporting public company and related corporate compliance requirements.

Expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 decreased by $1,859,091 over the same period in 2011. The principal contributors to the decrease were:

	1.	Consulting fees decreased by $1,602,469 primarily as a result of decreased management infrastructure as well as a decrease in stock based compensation expense from stock options granted and vesting during the period, as compared to fiscal 2011.
	2.	Travel expenses decreased by $115,422 as a result of less international corporate travel due to cost saving initiatives in response to our inability to obtain sufficient financing.
	3.	Rent expense decreased by $63,110 as a result of our New Jersey office lease expiring in 2011.

Other income

Other income and (loss) for the year ended September 30, 2012, amounted to $(3,980,214) as compared to a loss of $(1,126,565) for the year ended September 30, 2011. The increase in loss of $(2,853,649) was primarily attributable to

	a)	a loss of $3,829,333 resulting from the extinguishment of four promissory notes totaling $1,297,889 recognized in the year ended September 30, 2012 compared with a loss of $198,738 recognized in the same period in 2011 relating to the extinguishment of promissory notes totaling $398,922;
	b)	interest expense of $138,341 recognized in the year ended September 30, 2012 as compared to lower interest expense of $90,246 recognized in the year ended September 30, 2011, as a result of the increased debt levels during the current period from the issuance of promissory notes in the fourth quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012;
	c)	accretion of debt discount of $98,081 recognized in the year ended September 30, 2012 compared with accretion of $69,419 recognized in the year ended September 30, 2011 in respect of a debt issuance in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

This increase in loss was also partially offset by:

	a)	debt conversion expense of $504,160 recognized in the year ended September 30, 2011 compared with no similar expense for the same period in 2012, as a result of the Company’s adjustment to conversion rates on convertible debt during fiscal 2011;
	b)	loss on settlement of accounts payable of $334,053 recognized in the year ended September 30, 2011 with no corresponding loss in the year ended September 30, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Current Assets	$	12,577		$	200,605
Current Liabilities		2,888,324			1,345,443
Working Capital Deficiency	$	(2,875,747	)	$	(1,144,838	)

As of September 30, 2012, we had $11,362 in cash, a decrease of $123,340 from September 30, 2011. The principal components of this decrease in cash relate to a loss from operations in excess of cash generated through financing activities from debt and equity issuances. As of September 30, 2012, we had a working capital deficiency of $2,875,747, an increase in deficit of $1,730,909 from September 30, 2011. The principal component of this decrease in working capital deficit was as a result of increased accounts payable and accrued liabilities arising from our inability to obtain sufficient financing to meet these debt obligations.

Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended June 30, 2013

Revenue

We have not earned any revenues since our inception on January 23, 2004. We are still in the development stage and do not anticipate earning any revenues until we can establish an alliance with other companies to develop, co-develop, license, acquire or market our products.

Expenses

Our expenses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased by $ 571,931 over the same period in 2012.

Consulting fees decreased by $201,227 from $230,313 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $29,086 for the same period in 2013 primarily as a result of decreased management infrastructure and a decrease in stock based compensation as a result of stock options granted in the comparative period.

Legal fees increased by $6,247 from $21,629 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $27,876 for the same period in 2013 primarily as a result of the investigation of intellectual property matters and corporate activities related to financings.

Research and development charges decreased by $354,942 from $393,963 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $39,021 for the same period in 2013 due to the Company’s suspension of clinical trials pending additional financing requirements.

Investor relations expense decreased by $17,121 from $15,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to a net recovery of $2,121 for the same period in 2013 as a result of the over accrual of estimated expenditures related to investor relations activities in prior periods, resulting in a partial recovery of the accrual in the current period.

Income and loss

The aggregate amount in the other income and (expense) for the three month period ended June 30, 2013, amounted to $(25,942) as compared to $(3,844,705) for the comparable three month period ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in expenses is primarily attributable to:

	a)	a decrease in interest and financing costs of $23,133 and a decrease in accretion expense of $15,293 as a result of decreased debt levels during the current period as a result of the extinguishment of promissory notes in the third quarter of fiscal 2012; and

	b)	a decrease in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3,829,328 as a result of the loss recognized on the extinguishment of promissory notes in the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

Nine months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

Expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 decreased by $3,010,023 over the same period in 2012.

Consulting fees decreased by $540,929 from $779,827 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 to $238,898 for the same period in 2013 primarily as a result of decreased management infrastructure and a decrease in stock based compensation as a result of stock options granted in the comparative period.

Research and development charges decreased by $2,374,319 from $2,540,903 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 to $166,584 for the same period in 2013 due to the Company’s suspension of clinical trials pending additional financing requirements.

Travel expenses decreased by $53,267 from $58,827 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 to $5,560 for the same period in 2013 as a result of the suspension of corporate travel due to cost saving initiatives.

Income and loss

The aggregate amount in the other income and (expense) for the nine month period ended June 30, 2013, amounted to $(42,581) as compared to $(3,945,339) for the comparable nine month period ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in expenses is primarily attributable to:

	a)	a decrease in interest and financing costs of $88,834 and a decrease in accretion expense of $98,081 as a result of decreased debt levels during the current period as a result of the extinguishment of promissory notes in the third quarter of fiscal 2012; and

	b)	a decrease in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3,829,328 as a result of the loss recognized on the extinguishment of promissory notes in the third quarter of fiscal 2012

Change in fair value of derivative liability

We recognized a change in fair value of derivative liability totaling $0 on derivative financial instruments for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $67,500 for the nine month period in the comparable period. These gains arose as a result of the requirement of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States to re-measure derivatives to their respective fair values each reporting period. The financial instruments giving rise to the derivative liability expired during the year ended September 30, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

		June 30,			September
		2013			30, 2012
Current Assets	$	3,480		$	12,577
Current Liabilities		3,556,844			2,888,324
Working Capital Deficiency	$	(3,553,364	)	$	(2,875,747	)

As of June 30, 2013, we had $1,645 in cash, a decrease of $9,717 from September 30, 2012. The principal reason for this decrease is due to cash used in operations.

In addition to meeting our current obligations, we anticipate that we will require up to $5,000,000 for the 12 month period ending June 30, 2014 to implement our plan of operation of researching and developing our compounds, and the related patent positions. The majority of our capital resources requirement is needed to complete the next clinical trial for ANAVEX 2-73, and to perform work necessary to prepare for further clinical development. If we do not obtain such financing pursuant to the LPC Financing transaction that we completed subsequent to June 30, 2013 (as described in “Future Financing” below) or are not able to secure additional financing, we will not be able to implement and fund this work.

Decrease in cash	$	(9,717	)	$	(116,507	)

Cash flow used in operating activities

Our cash used in operating activities for the nine month period ended June 30, 2013 was $293,065 compared to $1,441,007 used in operating activities for the comparative nine month period ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily as a result of the decreased research and development spending in the current period.

Cash flow provided by financing activities

Our cash provided by financing activities for the nine month period ended June 30, 2013 was $283,348 from the issuance of promissory notes, compared to $1,324,500 due to cash received from the issuance of common shares in 2012.

Cash Provided by Investing Activities

No cash was used in or provided by investing activities for the nine month period ended June 30, 2013 or 2012.

Going Concern

At June 30, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of $38,216,467 since our inception and incurred a net loss of $711,541 for the nine month period ended June 30, 2013. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which casts substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their report on our annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.

Future Financing

We will require additional financing to fund our planned operations, including further strengthening our patent portfolio, securing licensing or patent rights for other compounds and related technology and any further intellectual property that we may acquire and commencing clinical development.

On July 5, 2013, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park (such transaction, the “Financing”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Lincoln Park initially purchased 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for $100,000. The Company has the right, in its sole discretion over a 25-month period, to sell to Lincoln Park up to the additional aggregate commitment of $9.9 Million of shares of common stock. There are no upper limits on the per share price that Lincoln Park may pay to purchase such common stock. Furthermore, the Company controls the timing and amount of any future sales, if any, of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales and is obligated to purchase common stock as directed by the Company.

Other than our rights related to the Lincoln Park Financing, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, if and when it is needed, we will be forced to delay or scale down some or all of our research and development activities or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.

Since inception we have funded our operations primarily through equity and debt financings and we expect that we will continue to fund our operations through the equity and debt financing. If we raise additional financing by issuing equity securities, our existing stockholders’ ownership will be diluted. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for investors to obtain a return on their investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our stockholders.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.

We base our assumptions and estimates on historical experience and other sources that we believe to be reasonable at the time. Actual results may vary from our estimates due to changes in circumstances, politics, global economics, general business conditions and other factors. Our significant estimates are related to the valuation of warrants and options.

There are accounting policies that we believe are significant to the presentation of our financial statements. The most significant of these accounting policies relates to the accounting for our research and development expenses and stock-based compensation expense.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and developments costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses are comprised of the costs of our proprietary research and development efforts, including salaries, facilities costs, overhead costs and other related expenses as well as costs incurred in connection with third-party collaboration efforts. Milestone payments made by us to third parties are expensed when the specific milestone has been achieved.

In addition, we incur expenses in respect of the acquisition of intellectual property relating to patents and trademarks. The probability of success and length of time to developing commercial applications of the drugs subject to the acquired patents and trademarks is difficult to determine and numerous risks and uncertainties exist with respect to the timely completion of the development projects. There is no assurance the acquired patents and trademarks will ever be successfully embodied in a commercial product or process. Due to these risks and uncertainties, we expense the acquisition of patents and trademarks.

Stock-based Compensation

We account for all stock-based payments and awards under the fair value based method.

Stock-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of stock-based payments to non-employees is periodically re-measured until the counterparty performance is complete, and any change therein is recognized over the vesting period of the award and in the same manner as if we had paid cash instead of paying with or using equity based instruments. The cost of the stock-based payments to non-employees that are fully vested and non-forfeitable as at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date, unless there is a contractual term for services in which case such compensation would be amortized over the contractual term.

We account for the granting of share purchase options to employees using the fair value method whereby all awards to employees will be recorded at fair value on the date of the grant. The fair value of all share purchase options are expensed over their vesting period with a corresponding increase to additional capital surplus. Upon exercise of share purchase options, the consideration paid by the option holder, together with the amount previously recognized in additional capital surplus, is recorded as an increase to share capital.

We use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the fair value of share purchase options at the date of the grant. Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility. Changes in assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and therefore the Black-Scholes model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our share purchase options.

BUSINESS

Our Current Business

We are a pharmaceutical company engaged in the development of drug candidates. Our lead compound ANAVEX 2-73 is being developed to treat Alzheimer’s disease through disease modification.

Our Pipeline

Our pipeline includes one drug candidate and several compounds in different stages of pre-clinical study.

Compounds that have been subjects of our research include the following:

ANAVEX 2-73

ANAVEX 2-73 may offer a disease-modifying approach in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by using ligands that activate sigma-1 receptors.

In AD animal models, ANAVEX 2-73 has shown pharmacological, histological and behavioural evidence as a potential neuroprotective, anti-amnesic, anti-convulsive and anti-depressive therapeutic agent, due to its potent affinity to sigma-1 receptors and moderate affinities to M1-4 type muscarinic receptors. In addition, ANAVEX 2-73 has shown a potential dual mechanism which may impact both amyloid and tau pathology.

ANAVEX 19-144

ANAVEX 1-41

ANAVEX 7-1037

Our compounds are in the pre-clinical and clinical testing stages of development, and there is no guarantee that the activity demonstrated in pre-clinical models will be shown in human testing.

Our Target Indications

We have developed compounds with potential application to two broad categories and several specific indications. The two categories are diseases of the central nervous system, and cancer. Specific indications include:

Alzheimer’s disease – In 2012, 5 million Americans suffered from Alzheimer’s disease. The Alzheimer’s Association® reports that by 2025, 6.7 million Americans will be afflicted by the disease. Medications on the market today treat only the symptoms of AD and do not have the ability to stop its onset or its progression. There is an urgent and unmet need for a disease modifying cure for Alzheimer’s disease.
Depression - Depression is a major cause of morbidity worldwide according to the World Health Organization (“WHO”). Pharmaceutical treatment for depression is dominated by blockbuster brands, with the leading nine brands accounting for approximately 75% of total sales. However, the dominance of the leading brands is waning, largely due to the effects of patent expiration and generic competition. We believe the worldwide market for pharmaceutical treatment of depression exceeds $11 billion annually.

Epilepsy - Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures. These seizures are transient signs and/or symptoms of abnormal, excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, epilepsy affects 2.2 million Americans. Today, epilepsy is often controlled, but not cured, with medication that is categorized as older traditional anti epileptic drugs and second generation anti epileptic drugs. Because epilepsy afflicts sufferers in different ways, there is a need for drugs used in combination with both traditional anti epileptic drugs and second generations anti epileptic drugs. We believe the American market for pharmaceutical treatment of epilepsy exceeds $12 billion annually.
Neuropathic Pain – We define neuralgia, or neuropathic pain, as pain that is not related to activation of pain receptor cells in any part of the body. Neuralgia is more difficult to treat than some other types of pain because it does not respond well to normal pain medications. Special medications have become more specific to neuralgia and typically fall under the category of membrane stabilizing drugs or antidepressants. We believe the worldwide market for pharmaceutical treatment of neuropathic pain exceeds $5 billion annually.
Malignant Melanoma - Predominantly a skin cancer, malignant melanoma can also occur in melanocytes found in the bowel and the eye. Malignant melanoma accounts for 75% of all deaths associated with skin cancer. The treatment includes surgical removal of the tumor, adjuvant treatment, chemo and immunotherapy, or radiation therapy. We believe the worldwide market for the pharmaceutical treatment of malignant melanoma exceeds $200 million annually.
Prostate Cancer – Specific to men, prostate cancer is a form of cancer that develops in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. The cancer cells may metastasize from the prostate to other parts of the body, particularly the bones and lymph nodes. We believe the worldwide market for the pharmaceutical treatment of prostate cancer exceeds $4 billion annually.
Pancreatic Cancer - Pancreatic cancer is a malignant neoplasm of the pancreas. In the United States approximately 45,000 new cases of pancreatic cancer will be diagnosed this year and approximately 38,000 patients will die as a result of their cancer. Worldwide market for the pharmaceutical treatment of pancreatic cancer is expected to exceed $1.2 billion by 2015.

Competition

The pharmaceutical industry is intensely competitive.

At this time, we view our competition as biomedical development companies that are trying to discover and develop compounds to be used in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, and those companies already doing so. Those companies include Prana Biotechnology Limited (NASDAQ:PRAN), Elan Corporation, PLC (NYSE:ELN), Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE), Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE:FRX), Novartis AG (NYSE:NVS), GlaxoSmithKline Inc. (NYSE:GSK), Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSD:MRK), Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited (BSE:500359) and F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd. (SIX:ROG).

Each of our competitors have greater capital resources, larger overall research and development staffs and facilities, and a longer history in drug discovery and development, obtaining regulatory approval, and pharmaceutical product manufacturing and marketing than we do. With these additional resources, our competitors will be able to respond to the rapid and significant technological changes in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries faster than we can. Our future success will depend in large part on our ability to acquire funding for our research and development. To continue to acquire funding for our research and development, we will likely have to show progress toward our goals and we will eventually be expected to develop a compound that may result in a transaction with another pharmaceutical company.

Our research and development is highly speculative and we may never discover or develop any compounds that we are capable of selling.

Rapid technological development, as well as new scientific developments, and economic circumstances may result in our compounds becoming obsolete before we can recover any of the expenses incurred to develop them.

Patents, Trademarks and Intellectual Property

We are pursuing three U.S. patent applications. Two of the three patent applications are drafts based on parent Greek patent applications, and we believe that they face limited patent prospects. There are corresponding international patent filings. The most recent of the three applications was independently drafted and filed July 12, 2013. On this most recent patent application, Anavex is awaiting assignment documents from one of the two named inventors. While this assignment is uncertain, we intend to continue our efforts to obtain the assignment and develop the patent.

We regard patents and other proprietary technology rights as corporate assets. Accordingly, we attempt to optimize the value of intellectual property in developing our business strategy including the selective development, protection, and exploitation of our intellectual property rights.

In addition to filings made with intellectual property organizations, we protect our intellectual property and confidential information by means of carefully considered processes of communication and the sharing of information, and by the use of confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements and provisions for the same in contractor’s agreements. While no agreement offers absolute protection, such agreements provide some form of recourse in the event of disclosure, or anticipated disclosure.

Our patent position, like that of many biomedical companies, is uncertain and involves complex legal and technical questions for which important legal principles are unresolved. We may file additional patent applications in the United States, or in other jurisdictions for further inventions. We may not be successful in obtaining critical claims or in protecting our potential drug compounds or processes. Even if we do obtain patents, they may not adequately protect the technology we own or have licensed. In addition, others may challenge, seek to invalidate, infringe or circumvent any patents we own or license, and rights we receive under those patents may not provide competitive advantages to us. Further, the manufacture, use or sale of our potential drug compounds may infringe the patent rights of others.

Our success will also depend in part on our ability to commercialize our compounds without infringing the proprietary rights of others. We have not conducted extensive freedom of use patent searches and no assurance can be given that patents do not exist or could not be filed which would have an adverse affect on our ability to market our technology or maintain our competitive position with respect to our technology. If our compounds or other subject matter are claimed under other existing United States or other patents or are otherwise protected by third party proprietary rights, we may be subject to infringement actions. In such event, we may challenge the validity of such patents or other proprietary rights or we may be required to obtain licenses from such companies in order to develop, manufacture or market our technology. There can be no assurances that we would be able to obtain such licenses or that such licenses, if available, could be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. Furthermore, the failure to either develop a commercially viable alternative or obtain such licenses could result in delays in marketing all of our potential drug compounds based on our drug technology or the inability to proceed with the development, manufacture or sale of potential drug compounds requiring such licenses, which could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we defend ourselves against charges of patent infringement or to protect our proprietary rights against third parties, substantial costs will be incurred regardless of whether we are successful. Such proceedings are typically protracted with no certainty of success. An adverse outcome could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties and force us to curtail or cease our research and development of our technology.

Government Approval

Regulation by governmental authorities in the United States and foreign countries is a significant factor in the development, manufacture, and expected marketing of our potential drug compounds and in potential future research and development activities. The nature and extent to which such regulation will apply to us will vary depending on the nature of any potential drug compounds developed. We anticipate that all of our potential drug compounds will require regulatory approval by governmental agencies prior to commercialization.

In particular, human therapeutic products are subject to rigorous non-clinical and clinical testing and other approval procedures of the FDA and similar regulatory authorities in other countries. Various federal statutes and regulations also govern or influence testing, manufacturing, safety, labeling, storage, and record-keeping related to such products and their marketing. The process of obtaining these approvals and the subsequent compliance with the appropriate federal statutes and regulations requires substantial time and financial resources. Any failure by us or our collaborators to obtain, or any delay in obtaining, regulatory approval could adversely affect the marketing of any potential drug compounds developed by us, our ability to receive product revenues, and our liquidity and capital resources.

The steps ordinarily required before a new drug may be marketed in the United States, which are similar to steps required in most other countries, include:

non-clinical laboratory tests, non-clinical studies in animals, formulation studies and the submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application;
adequate and well-controlled clinical trials to establish the safety and efficacy of the drug;
the submission of a new drug application or biologic license application to the FDA; and
FDA review and approval of the new drug application or biologics license application.

Non-clinical tests include laboratory evaluation of potential drug compound chemistry, formulation and toxicity, as well as animal studies. The results of non-clinical testing are submitted to the FDA as part of an investigational new drug application. A 30-day waiting period after the filing of each investigational new drug application is required prior to commencement of clinical testing in humans. At any time during the 30-day period or at any time thereafter, the FDA may halt proposed or ongoing clinical trials until the FDA authorizes trials under specified terms. The investigational new drug application process may be extremely costly and substantially delay the development of our potential drug compounds. Moreover, positive results of non-clinical tests will not necessarily indicate positive results in subsequent clinical trials. The FDA may require additional animal testing after an initial investigational new drug application is approved and prior to Phase III trials.

Clinical trials to support new drug applications are typically conducted in three sequential phases, although the phases may overlap. During Phase I, clinical trials are conducted with a small number of subjects to assess metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacological actions and safety, including side effects associated with increasing doses. Phase II usually involves studies in a limited patient population to assess the efficacy of the drug in specific, targeted indications; assess dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.

If a compound is found to be potentially effective and to have an acceptable safety profile in Phase I and II evaluations, Phase III trials are undertaken to further demonstrate clinical efficacy and to further test for safety within an expanded patient population at geographically dispersed clinical trial sites.

After successful completion of the required clinical trials, a new drug application is generally submitted. The FDA may request additional information before accepting the new drug application for filing, in which case the new drug application must be resubmitted with the additional information. Once the submission has been accepted for filing, the FDA reviews the new drug application and responds to the applicant. The FDA’s requests for additional information or clarification often significantly extends the review process. The FDA may refer the new drug application to an appropriate advisory committee for review, evaluation, and recommendation as to whether the new drug application should be approved, although the FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee.

Sales outside the United States of potential drug compounds we develop will also be subject to foreign regulatory requirements governing human clinical trials and marketing for drugs. The requirements vary widely from country to country, but typically the registration and approval process takes several years and requires significant resources. In most cases, if the FDA has not approved a potential drug compound for sale in the United States, the potential drug compound may be exported for sale outside of the United States, only if it has been approved in any one of the following: the European Union, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Israel, Switzerland and South Africa. There are specific FDA regulations that govern this process.

We may also become subject to various federal, state, local, and foreign laws, regulations and recommendations relating to safe working conditions, laboratory and manufacturing practices, and the use and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances, including radioactive compounds and infectious disease agents, used in connection with our research. We cannot accurately predict the extent of government regulation that might result from future legislation or administrative action.

Research and Development Expenses

Historically, a significant portion of our operating expenses has related to research and development. Recently, we have significantly curtailed our spending on research and development. See Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this prospectus for costs and expenses related to research and development, and other financial information for fiscal years 2012 and 2011.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between any director or executive officer.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

There are no material proceedings to which any director or executive officer or any associate of any such director or officer is a party adverse to our company or has a material interest adverse to our company.

No director or executive officer has been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

	1.	any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
	2.	any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);
	3.	being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities;
	4.	being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;
	5.	being the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of: (i) any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation; or (ii) any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease- and- desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or (iii) any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
	6.	being the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common stock and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.

Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% percent beneficial owners were complied.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. We have posted our policy on our website at www.anavex.com.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Experts

We have an audit committee, comprised of our two directors. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, our audit committee held 12 meetings. The audit committee represents our board of directors in discharging its responsibility relating to the accounting, reporting and financial practices of our company, and has general responsibility for oversight of internal controls, accounting and audit activities and legal compliance of our company. However, the audit committee’s function is one of oversight only and does not relieve our management of its responsibilities for preparing financial statements which accurately and fairly present our financial results and conditions or the responsibilities of the independent registered public accounting firm relating to the audit or review of financial statements. We do not deem either of our directors as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Athanasios Skarpelos is Chairman of the audit committee.

Nominating and Compensation Committees

We do not have standing nominating or compensation committees, or committees performing similar functions. Our board of directors believes that it is not necessary to have a standing compensation committee at this time because the functions of such committee are adequately performed by our board of directors. Our board of directors has not adopted a charter for the compensation committee.

Our board of directors also is of the view that it is appropriate for us not to have a standing nominating committee because our board of directors has performed and is expected to perform adequately the functions of a nominating committee. Our board of directors has not adopted a charter for the nominating committee. There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors. Our board of directors does not believe that a defined policy with regard to the consideration of candidates recommended by stockholders is necessary at this time because we believe that, at this stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations are at a more advanced level. There are no specific, minimum qualifications that our board of directors believes must be met by a candidate recommended by our board of directors. There is neither a defined, nor a typical process of identifying and evaluating nominees for director.

	a)	our principal executive officers;

In the event of a change of control, as such term is defined in the employment agreement, all of the restricted stock granted to Mr. Missling shall vest. Depending on the nature of the termination of Mr. Missling’s services, certain of his salary, bonus and granted securities shall vest in the amounts at such time as set forth in the agreement.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

The following table sets forth, as of October 1, 2013, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each stockholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock and by each of our current directors and our named executive officers and by our current directors and executive officers as a group. We have determined the number and percentage of shares beneficially owned by such person in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose.

Title of class	Name and address of beneficial owner	Amount and nature of beneficial ownership	Percent of class ¹
Common Stock	Athanasios Skarpelos 2, Place du Port Geneva, Switzerland CH 1204	6,725,832 (Direct)	18.06%
Common Stock	Christopher Missling 51 W 52^ndStreet, 7^thfloor New York, NY 10019	6,000,000²	16.11%
	Directors & Executive Officers as a group (2 persons)	12,725,832	34.17%
Common Stock	Euro Genet Labs S.A. 27 marathonos Avenue	2,771,265 (Direct)	7.44%
	15351 Pallini Athens, Greece
Common Stock	The Stone Hedge Ltd. Maritime House Frederick Street Nassau, Bahamas	2,306,179 (Direct)	6.19%

(1) Percentage of ownership is based on 37,237,587 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of October 1, 2013. Except as otherwise indicated, we believe that the beneficial owners of the common stock listed above, based on information furnished by such owners, have sole investment and voting power with respect to such shares, subject to community property laws where applicable. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to options or warrants currently exercisable, or exercisable within 60 days, are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such option or warrants, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

(2) Includes 2,000,000 stock options that have vested, and 4,000,000 shares of restricted common stock that vest pursuant to the achievement of certain objectives.

Changes in Control

We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of our company.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Transactions with related persons

Except that prior to his appointment as an officer and director of the Company, Christopher Missling, PhD was employed by the Company’s financial advisor and placement agent that participated in the Private Placement, there has been no transaction, since October 1, 2011, or currently proposed transaction, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any of the following persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

	i.	any director or executive officer of our Company;
	ii.	any beneficial owner of shares carrying more than 5% of the voting rights attached to our outstanding shares of common stock; and
	iii.	any member of the immediate family (including spouse, parents, children, siblings and in-laws) of any of the foregoing persons.

Compensation of Named Executive Officers and Directors

For information regarding compensation of named executive officers and directors, please see “Executive Compensation.”

Director Independence

We deem that Christopher Missling, PhD is not independent as that term is defined by NASDAQ 5605(a)(2) because Mr. Missling serves as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer. We have also determined that Athanasios Skarpelos is not independent.

THE LINCOLN PARK TRANSACTION

General

On July 5, 2013, we entered into the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement with Lincoln Park. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Lincoln Park purchased 250,000 shares of our common stock for $100,000 and has agreed to purchase from us up to $10,000,000 in the aggregate of our common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over a 25-month period. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, we have filed with the SEC the registration statement that includes this prospectus to register for resale under the Securities Act the shares that have been or may be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement.

Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement on July 5, 2013, we issued to Lincoln Park 341,858 shares of our common stock as a fee for its commitment to purchase additional shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement and 250,000 shares of our common stock in consideration of $100,000 in an Initial Purchase. Other than the shares of our common stock that we have already issued to Lincoln Park as described above, we do not have the right to commence any further sales to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement until the SEC has declared effective the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Thereafter and upon satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, we may, from time to time and at our sole discretion, direct Lincoln Park to purchase shares of our common stock in amounts up to 100,000 shares on any single business day so long as at least one business day has passed since the most recent purchase. We can also accelerate the amount of our common stock to be purchased under certain circumstances to up to 150,000 shares but not exceeding $500,000 per purchase plus an additional “accelerated amount” under certain circumstances. The purchase price per share is based on the market price of our common stock immediately preceding the time of sale as computed under the Purchase Agreement without any fixed discount. We issued 341,858 shares of our stock to Lincoln Park as a commitment fee for entering into the Purchase Agreement and we are obligated to issue up to an additional 133,409 shares pro rata as Lincoln Park purchases up to $10,000,000 of our common stock as directed by us. For example, if we elect, at our sole discretion, to require Lincoln Park to purchase $100,000 of our stock then we would issue 1,334 shares of the pro rata commitment fee which is the product of $100,000 (the amount we have elected to sell) divided by $10,000,000 (the amount we can sell Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement multiplied by 100,000 (the total number of pro rata commitment shares). The pro rata commitment shares will only be issued pursuant to this formula as and when we elect at our discretion to sell stock to Lincoln Park. Lincoln Park may not assign or transfer its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

Purchase of Shares Under the Purchase Agreement

Under the Purchase Agreement, on any business day selected by us, we may direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 100,000 shares of our common stock on any such business day so long as one business day has passed since the last purchase. On any day that the closing sale price of our common stock is not below $1.50 the purchase amount may be increased, at our sole discretion, to up to 150,000 shares of our common stock per purchase provided that the amount of the Regular Purchase cannot exceed $500,000. The purchase price per share for each such Regular Purchase will be equal to the lower of:

the lowest sale price for our common stock on the purchase date of such shares; or
the arithmetic average of the three lowest closing sale prices for our common stock during the 12 consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding the purchase date of such shares.

In addition to Regular Purchases described above, we may also direct Lincoln Park, on any business day on which we have properly submitted a Regular Purchase notice, to purchase an additional amount of our common stock, which we refer to as an Accelerated Purchase, not to exceed the lesser of:

30% of the aggregate shares of our common stock traded during normal trading hours on the purchase date; and
two times the number of purchase shares purchased pursuant to the corresponding Regular Purchase.

The purchase price per share for each such Accelerated Purchase will be equal to the lower of:

95% of the volume weighted average price during (i) the entire trading day on the purchase date, if the volume of shares of our common stock traded on the purchase date has not exceeded a volume maximum calculated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, or (ii) the portion of the trading day of the purchase date (calculated starting at the beginning of normal trading hours) until such time at which the volume of shares of our common stock traded has exceeded such volume maximum; or
the closing sale price of our common stock on the purchase date.

In the case of both Regular Purchases and Accelerated Purchases, the purchase price per share will be equitably adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction occurring during the business days used to compute the purchase price.

Other than as set forth above, there are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Purchase Agreement, and we will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to Lincoln Park.

Minimum Purchase Price

Under the Purchase Agreement, we have set a floor price of $0.50 per share. Lincoln Park shall not purchase any shares of our common stock on any day that the closing sale price of our common stock is below the floor price. The floor price will be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction and, effective upon the consummation of any such event, the floor price will be the lower of (i) the adjusted price and (ii) $1.00.

Events of Default

Events of default under the Purchase Agreement include the following:

the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part lapses for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order), or any required prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus are unavailable for the resale by Lincoln Park of our common stock offered hereby, and such lapse or unavailability continues for a period of 10 consecutive business days or for more than an aggregate of 30 business days in any 365-day period;
suspension by our principal market of our common stock from trading for a period of three consecutive business days;
the de-listing of our common stock from our principal market, provided our common stock is not immediately thereafter trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the NYSE Amex or the OTC Bulletin Board (or nationally recognized successor thereto);
the transfer agent’s failure for five business days to issue to Lincoln Park shares of our common stock which Lincoln Park is entitled to receive under the Purchase Agreement;
any breach of the representations or warranties or covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement or any related agreement which has or which could have a material adverse effect on us subject to a cure period of five business days;
any voluntary or involuntary participation or threatened participation in insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings by or against us; or
if at any time we are not eligible to transfer our common stock electronically or a material adverse change in our business, financial condition, operations or prospects has occurred.

Lincoln Park does not have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement upon any of the events of default set forth above. During an event of default, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, shares of our common stock cannot be sold by us or purchased by Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement.

Our Termination Rights

We have the unconditional right, at any time, for any reason and without any payment or liability to us, to give notice to Lincoln Park to terminate the Purchase Agreement. In the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against us, the Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate without action of any party.

No Short-Selling or Hedging by Lincoln Park

Lincoln Park has agreed that neither it nor any of its affiliates shall engage in any direct or indirect short-selling or hedging of our common stock during any time prior to the termination of the Purchase Agreement.

Effect of Performance of the Purchase Agreement on Our Stockholders

All shares of common stock registered in this offering are expected to be freely tradable. It is anticipated that shares registered in this offering will be sold over a period of up to 25 months commencing on the date that the registration statement including this prospectus becomes effective. The sale by Lincoln Park of a significant amount of shares registered in this offering at any given time could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and to be highly volatile. Lincoln Park may ultimately purchase all, some or none of the shares of common stock not yet issued but registered in this offering. Lincoln Park may sell all, some or none of such shares. Therefore, sales to Lincoln Park by us under the Purchase Agreement may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. In addition, if we sell a substantial number of shares to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, or if investors expect that we will do so, the actual sales of shares or the mere existence of our arrangement with Lincoln Park may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect such sales. However, we have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares to Lincoln Park and the Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any cost to us.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we have the right, but not the obligation, to direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to $10,000,000 of our common stock. Depending on the price per share at which we sell our common stock to Lincoln Park, we may be authorized to issue and sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement more shares of our common stock than are offered under this prospectus. If we choose to do so, we must first register for resale under the Securities Act any such additional shares, which could cause additional substantial dilution to our stockholders. The number of shares ultimately offered for resale by Lincoln Park under this prospectus is dependent upon the number of shares we direct Lincoln Park to purchase under the Purchase Agreement.

The following table sets forth the amount of gross proceeds we would receive from Lincoln Park from our sale of shares to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement at varying purchase prices:

Assumed Average Purchase Price Per Share	Number of Registered Shares to be Issued if Full Purchase (1)(2)	Percentage of Outstanding Shares After Giving Effect to the Issuance to Lincoln Park (3)	Proceeds from the Sale of Shares to Lincoln Park Under the $10M Purchase Agreement

________________

(1)	Although the Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to $10,000,000 of our common stock to Lincoln Park, we are only registering 9,975,267 shares under this prospectus, which may or may not cover all the shares we ultimately sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, depending on the purchase price per share. As a result, we have included in this column only those shares that we are registering in this offering including the applicable additional commitment shares issuable to Lincoln Park.

(2)	The number of registered shares to be issued excludes the 341,858 previously issued commitment shares and 133,409 additional commitment shares registered hereunder because no proceeds will be attributable to such commitment shares.

(3)	The denominator is based on 37,273,587 shares outstanding as of October 1, 2013, adjusted to include the 475,267 shares issued and to be issued to Lincoln Park as commitment shares in connection with this offering and the number of shares set forth in the adjacent column which we would have sold to Lincoln Park at the applicable assumed average purchase price per share. The numerator does not include the 475,267 shares issued to Lincoln Park as commitment shares in connection with this offering, and is based on the number of shares registered in this offering to be issued under the Purchase Agreement as purchased by Lincoln Park at the applicable assumed purchase price per share set forth in the adjacent column. The number of shares in such column does not include shares that may be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement which are not registered in this offering.

(4)	Under the Purchase Agreement, we may not sell and Lincoln Park may not purchase any shares on a day in which the closing sale price of our common stock is below $0.50, as may be adjusted in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

(5)	The closing sale price of our shares on October 1, 2013.

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

This prospectus relates to the possible resale by the selling stockholder, Lincoln Park, of shares of common stock that have been or may be issued to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. We are filing the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, which we entered into with Lincoln Park on July 5, 2013 concurrently with our execution of the Purchase Agreement, in which we agreed to provide certain registration rights with respect to sales by Lincoln Park of the shares of our common stock that have been or may be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement.

Lincoln Park, as the selling stockholder, may, from time to time, offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of the shares that we have sold or may sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The selling stockholder may sell some, all or none of its shares. We do not know how long the selling stockholder will hold the shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling stockholder regarding the sale of any of the shares.

The following table presents information regarding the selling stockholder and the shares that it may offer and sell from time to time under this prospectus. The table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the selling stockholder, and reflects its holdings as of October 1, 2013. Neither Lincoln Park nor any of its affiliates has held a position or office, or had any other material relationship, with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates. As used in this prospectus, the term “selling stockholder” includes Lincoln Park and any donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from Lincoln Park as a gift, pledge or other non-sale related transfer. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act. The percentage of shares beneficially owned prior to the offering is based on 37,237,587 shares of our common stock actually outstanding as of October 1, 2013.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

We are authorized to issue 150,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. As at October 1, 2013 we had 37,237,587 common shares outstanding. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all net assets available for distribution to stockholders after payment to creditors. The common stock is not convertible or redeemable and has no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights. There are no conversion, redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. There are no cumulative voting rights.

Each stockholder is entitled to receive the dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for dividends and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of our assets after payment of liabilities. Our board of directors is not obligated to declare a dividend. Any future dividends will be subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings, the operating and financial condition of our Company, its capital requirements, general business conditions and other pertinent factors. It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.

Nevada Anti-Takeover Law and Charter and Bylaws Provisions

Nevada Revised Statutes sections 78.378 to 78.3793 provide state regulation over the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation provide that the provisions of these sections do not apply. The statute creates a number of restrictions on the ability of a person or entity to acquire control of a Nevada company by setting down certain rules of conduct and voting restrictions in any acquisition attempt, among other things. The statute is limited to corporations that are organized in the state of Nevada and that have 200 or more shareholders, at least 100 of whom are shareholders of record and residents of the State of Nevada; and do business in the State of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. Because of these conditions, the statute does not apply to our Company.

There are no provisions in our articles of incorporation or our bylaws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control of our company.

OTC Markets (OTCQB) Quotation

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets (OTCQB) under the trading symbol “AVXL.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The common stock offered by this prospectus is being offered by the selling stockholder, Lincoln Park. The common stock may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling stockholder directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices, or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The sale of the common stock offered by this prospectus could be effected in one or more of the following methods:

ordinary brokers’ transactions;
transactions involving cross or block trades;
through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents
“at the market” into an existing market for the common stock;
in other ways not involving market makers or established business markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents;

in privately negotiated transactions; or
any combination of the foregoing.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from the state’s registration or qualification requirement is available and complied with.

Lincoln Park is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act.

Lincoln Park has informed us that it intends to use an unaffiliated broker-dealer to effectuate all sales, if any, of the common stock that it may purchase from us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Such sales will be made at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price. Each such unaffiliated broker-dealer will be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Lincoln Park has informed us that each such broker-dealer will receive commissions from Lincoln Park that will not exceed customary brokerage commissions. In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA, the maximum consideration or discount to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker dealer may not exceed 8% of the aggregate amount of the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus.

Brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the shares as agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts, or concessions from the selling stockholder and/or purchasers of the common stock for whom the broker-dealers may act as agent. The compensation paid to a particular broker-dealer may be less than or in excess of customary commissions. Neither we nor Lincoln Park can presently estimate the amount of compensation that any agent will receive.

We know of no existing arrangements between Lincoln Park or any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares offered by this prospectus. At the time a particular offer of shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed that will set forth the names of any agents, underwriters or dealers and any compensation from the selling stockholder, and any other required information.

We will pay the expenses incident to the registration, offering, and sale of the shares to Lincoln Park. We have agreed to indemnify Lincoln Park and certain other persons against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of shares of common stock offered hereby, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities. Lincoln Park has agreed to indemnify us against liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from certain written information furnished to us by Lincoln Park specifically for use in this prospectus or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities.

Lincoln Park has represented to us that at no time prior to the Purchase Agreement has Lincoln Park or its agents, representatives or affiliates engaged in or effected, in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, any short sale (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act) of our common stock or any hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to our common stock. Lincoln Park agreed that during the term of the Purchase Agreement, it, its agents, representatives or affiliates will not enter into or effect, directly or indirectly, any of the foregoing transactions.

We have advised Lincoln Park that it is required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the selling stockholder, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the securities offered by this prospectus.

This offering will terminate on the date that all shares offered by this prospectus have been sold by Lincoln Park or may be sold by Lincoln Park without restriction under Rule 144(b)(1)(i) under the Securities Act.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol “AVXL”.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Directors and Stockholders,
Anavex Life Sciences Corp.
(a Development Stage Company)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Anavex Life Sciences Corp. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and changes in capital deficit for the years then ended and for the period from January 23, 2004 (date of inception) to September 30, 2012. 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Anavex Life Sciences Corp. at September 30, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from January 23, 2004 (date of inception) to September 30, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $37,504,926 at September 30, 2012 and incurred a net loss of $8,301,705 for the year then ended. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ANAVEX LIFE SCIENCES CORP.

(A Development Stage Company)

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2012 and 2011

(Stated in US Dollars)

Note 1

Business Description, Basis of Presentation and Liquidity

Business

Anavex Life Sciences is a pharmaceutical company engaged in the development of drug candidates. Our lead compound ANAVEX 2-73, developed to treat Alzheimer’s disease through disease modification, is in human clinical trials.

In pre-clinical studies conducted in France, and in Greece ANAVEX 2-73 demonstrated anti-amnesic and neuroprotective properties.

Based on these preclinical studies, Anavex sponsored a Phase 1 single ascending dose study of ANAVEX 2-73 initiated and completed in 2011. This study was conducted in Germany in collaboration with ABX-CRO Advanced Pharmaceutical Services. The study indicated that ANAVEX 2-73 was well tolerated by study subjects in doses up to 55mg.

Due principally to Anavex’ inability to obtain sufficient funding to support operations and development of our pipeline, it has been unable to attract and retain executive management that is experienced in leading a development stage pharmaceutical company. For this reason, the company is deferring research into drug candidates until expert management evaluates the company’s progress and determines an appropriate course of action, and there is capital to effect management’s plan of action.

In considering several different means of accomplishing Anavex’ goal of commercializing a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, its officers and directors have determined that pursuing a strategic relationship with a partner, partners, or an acquirer with capable management and sufficient capital to sponsor trials is the company’s best course of action at this time. Further, Anavex may acquire or develop new intellectual property and assign, license, or otherwise transfer its intellectual property to further its plan.

Basis of Presentation and Liquidity

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and the instructions to Form 10-K.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2012 and 2011
(Stated in US Dollars) – Page 2

Note 1	Business Description, Basis of Presentation and Liquidity – (cont’d)

	These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its obligations and commitments in the normal course of operations. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At September 30, 2012, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $37,504,926 (2011 - $29,203,221), had a working capital deficit of $2,875,747 and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this but considers obtaining additional funds by equity financing and/or from issuing promissory notes. Management expects the Company’s cash requirement over the next twelve months to be approximately $4,000,000. While the Company is expending best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds for operations.

Note 2	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

	a)	Use of Estimates

		The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to deferred income tax asset valuations, asset impairment, conversion features embedded in convertible notes payable, derivative valuations, stock based compensation and loss contingencies. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)

	b)	Principles of Consolidation

		These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Anavex Life Sciences Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Anavex Life Sciences (France) SA, a company incorporated under the laws of France. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

	c)	Development Stage Company

		The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business and none of its planned principal operations have commenced. All losses accumulated since inception has been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.

	d)	Equipment

		Equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated at 33% per annum on the straight-line basis.

	e)	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

		The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The estimated future cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about future operating performance, and may differ from actual cash flows. Long-lived assets evaluated for impairment are grouped with other assets to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets will be written down to the estimated fair value in the period in which the determination is made.

	f)	Financial Instruments

		The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for similar terms and based on the short term duration of the debt instruments, the carrying value of the promissory notes payable approximate their fair value. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Note 2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)

	g)	Foreign Currency Translation

		The functional currency of the Company is the US dollar. Monetary items denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US dollars at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and non-monetary items are translated at exchange rates prevailing when the assets were acquired or obligations incurred. Foreign currency denominated expense items are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Unrealized gains or losses arising from the translations are credited or charged to income in the period in which they occur.

	h)	Research and Development Expenses

		Research and developments costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses are comprised of the costs of the Company’s proprietary research and development efforts, including salaries, facilities costs, overhead costs and other related expenses as well as costs incurred in connection with third-party collaboration efforts. Milestone payments made by the Company to third parties are expensed when the specific milestone has been achieved.

		In addition, the Company incurs expenses in respect of the acquisition of intellectual property relating to patents and trademarks. The probability of success and length of time to developing commercial applications of the drugs subject to the acquired patents and trademarks is difficult to determine and numerous risks and uncertainties exist with respect to the timely completion of the development projects. There is no assurance the acquired patents and trademarks will ever be successfully commercialized. Due to these risks and uncertainties, the acquisition of patents and trademarks does not meet the definition of an asset and thus are expensed as incurred.

	i)	Income Taxes

		The Company has adopted the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Note 2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)

	i)	Income Taxes – (cont’d)

		The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740 "Income Taxes" regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The Company initially recognizes tax positions in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions are initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. Application requires numerous estimates based on available information. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, and our recognized tax positions and tax benefits may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. As additional information is obtained, there may be a need to periodically adjust the recognized tax positions and tax benefits. These periodic adjustments may have a material impact on the consolidated statements of operations.

	j)	Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

		The basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. For the year ended September 30, 2012, loss per share excludes 6,025,141 (2011 – 5,030,479) potentially dilutive common shares (related to convertible notes payable and outstanding options and warrants) as their effect was anti-dilutive.

	k)	Stock-based Compensation

		The Company accounts for all stock-based payments and awards under the fair value based method.

		Stock-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of stock-based payments to non-employees is periodically re-measured until the counterparty performance is complete, and any change therein is recognized over the vesting period of the award and in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash instead of paying with or using equity based instruments. Compensation costs for stock-based payments with graded vesting are recognized on a straight-line basis. The cost of the stock-based payments to non- employees that are fully vested and non-forfeitable as at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date, unless there is a contractual term for services in which case such compensation would be amortized over the contractual term.

		The Company accounts for the granting of share purchase options to employees using the fair value method whereby all awards to employees will be recorded at fair value on the date of the grant. The fair value of all share purchase options are expensed over their vesting period with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital.

		The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the fair value of share purchase options at the date of the grant. Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates.

	l)	Fair Value Measurements

		The fair value hierarchy under GAAP is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

	Level 1 -	quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

	Level 2 -	observable inputs other than Level I, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

	Level 3 -	assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

	l)	Fair Value Measurements – (cont’d)

		The book value of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short term maturity of those instruments. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company under similar terms, the book value of promissory notes payable approximates their fair values. The Company’s promissory notes payable are based on Level 2 inputs in the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy.

		The Company’s Level 3 liability consisted of the bifurcated embedded conversion features in the Company’s convertible promissory notes. This Level 3 liability had no active market and was required to be measured at its fair value at each reporting period based on information that is unobservable.

		A summary of the Company’s Level 3 liabilities for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

		2012			2011

Balance, beginning of the period	$	67,500		$	-
Fair value of embedded conversion feature of convertible promissory notes		-			167,500
Change in fair value of derivative liability		(67,500	)		(100,000	)
Balance, end of the period	$	-		$	67,500

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

	m)	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

		On June 16, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, or ASU 2011-05. ASU 2011-05 requires entities to report items of other comprehensive income on either part of a single contiguous statement of comprehensive income or in a separate statement of comprehensive income immediately following the statement of income. On December 23, 2011, the FASB issued an update to this pronouncement, ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, or ASU 2011-12. ASU 2011-12 defers the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income separately with their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income. The Company has not recorded any components of comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and, as at September 30, 2012, the Company does not have a balance recorded in respect of accumulated comprehensive income (loss).

Note 4	Derivative Liability


	Derivative liability, consisting of the embedded conversion features in the Company’s convertible promissory notes, is accounted for as a separate liability measured at its respective fair value, as follows:

		2012			2011

Balance, beginning of the period	$	67,500		$	-
Fair value of embedded conversion feature of convertible promissory notes		-			167,500
Change in fair value of derivative liability		(67,500	)		(100,000	)
Balance, end of the period	$	-		$	67,500

The fair values of the convertible promissory notes embedded call options have been determined using the binomial pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:

	2012	2011

Risk-free interest rate	0.05%	0.13%
Expected life of derivative liability	0.05 years	0.56 years
Annualized volatility	57.99%	93.45%
Dividend rate	0.00%	0.00%

Convertible interest bearing promissory notes

The Company issued unsecured convertible interest bearing promissory notes totaling $750,000 during the year ended September 30, 2011 consisting of a promissory note in the amount of $250,000 maturing on April 20, 2012 and a promissory note in the amount of $500,000 maturing on May 4, 2012, each bearing interest at 8% per annum. These notes were convertible at any time at the option of the holder into units of the Company at $3.00 per unit with each unit consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase an additional common share for $4.00 for a period of 2 years from the date of issuance.

In connection with the issuance of these notes, the Company paid a finder’s fee totaling $100,000 which was deferred and amortized to income using the effective interest method over the terms of the notes. As at September 30, 2012, there remained no unamortized balance in respect of this deferred financing charge (2011: $55,464).

Pursuant to the guidance of ASC 815-40, the Company determined that the embedded conversion feature of the notes failed to meet the “fixed for fixed” criteria contained within the guidance. Accordingly, the Company bifurcated the embedded conversion features as a separate derivative liability having a fair value of $167,500 at inception. The corresponding debt discount was accreted over the term of the note. During the year ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded accretion expense of $98,081 (2011: $69,419) in respect of this debt discount.

On April 20, 2012, the $500,000 convertible promissory note with accrued interest thereon of $40,000 along with an interest bearing $250,000 promissory note with accrued interest thereon of $9,389 that had been issued on November 1, 2011 were exchanged for a new non-convertible 12% interest bearing promissory note having a principal amount of $799,389 maturing on June 19, 2012. Subsequent to this exchange of promissory notes, on May 31, 2012, the Company extinguished this note along with accrued interest of $10,925 thereon by issuing 1,620,628 equity units having a fair value of $3,108,365. As a result of this extinguishment, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment in the amount of $2,298,051.

	b)	Stock–based Compensation Plan

		In April, 2007, the Company adopted a stock option plan which provides for the granting of stock options to selected directors, officers, employees or consultants in an aggregate amount of up to 3,000,000 common shares of the Company and, in any case, the number of shares to be issued to any one individual pursuant to the exercise of options shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding share capital. The granting of stock options, exercise prices and terms are determined by the Company's Board of Directors. If no vesting schedule is specified by the Board of Directors on the grant of options, then the options shall vest over a 4-year period with 25% the granted vesting each year commencing 1 year from the grant date. For stockholders who have greater than 10% of the outstanding common shares of the Company and who have granted options, the exercise price of their options shall not be less than 110% of the fair of the stock on grant date. Otherwise, options granted shall have an exercise price equal to their fair value on grant date.

		On February 2, 2011, the Company amended and restated the 2007 stock option plan to increase the number of options authorized to 4,000,000.

Deferred income tax recovery	$	-		$	-

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $19,945,000 (2011: $16,300,000) available to offset future taxable income. The carry-forwards will begin to expire in 2027 unless utilized in earlier years. The Company has not yet filed any tax returns in France as they are not yet due.

The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and this causes a change in management’s judgment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is reflected in current income. Because management of the Company does not currently believe that it is more likely than not that the Company will receive the benefit of these assets, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been established at both September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s tax returns are subject to tax examinations by U.S. federal and state tax authorities, or examinations by foreign tax authorities until respective statute of limitation. The Company is subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for all taxation years commencing on or after 2004.

Provisions have not been made for U.S. or additional foreign taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Such earnings have been and will continue to be reinvested but could become subject to additional tax if they were remitted as dividends, or were loaned to the Company affiliate. It is not practicable to determine the amount of additional tax, if any, that might be payable on the undistributed foreign earnings.

Note 1

Business Description, Basis of Presentation and Liquidity

Business

The Company is engaged in the development of drug candidates. The Company’s lead compound, ANAVEX 2-73, developed to treat Alzheimer’s disease through disease modification, is in human clinical trials. In pre-clinical studies conducted in France and other EU institutes, ANAVEX 2-73 demonstrated anti-amnesic and neuroprotective properties. Based on these preclinical studies, the Company sponsored a Phase 1 single ascending dose study of ANAVEX 2-73 initiated and completed in 2011. This study was conducted in Germany in collaboration with ABX-CRO Advanced Pharmaceutical Services (ABX-CRO). The study indicated that ANAVEX 2-73 was well tolerated by study subjects in doses up to 55mg. The Company plans to initiate a multiple ascending dose study of ANAVEX 2-73 in the near future, provided sufficient capital is available. Additionally the Company intends to identify and initiate discussions with potential partners in the next 12 months. Further, we may acquire or develop new intellectual property and assign, license, or otherwise transfer our intellectual property to further our goals.

These unaudited interim condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the fiscal year ending on September 30, 2013. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

Basis of Presentation and Liquidity

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and the instructions to Form 10-Q.

Note 1

Business Description, Basis of Presentation and Liquidity – (cont’d)

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its obligations and commitments in the normal course of operations. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $38,216,467 (September 30,2012 - $37,504,926), had a working capital deficit of $3,553,364 and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management expects the Company’s cash requirement over the next twelve months to be approximately $5,000,000. In addition to funding its general and corporate expenses and its research and development activities, the Company is obligated to address its current liabilities totaling $3, 556,844. While the Company is expending best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds for operations. See Note 9 Subsequent Events.

Note 2

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no new accounting pronouncements that the Company recently adopted or are pending the Company’s adoption that are expected to have a material impact on the company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Expected life of options	-	4.25 - 5.0 years
Annualized volatility	-	57.87% - 95.25%

Item 14.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company’s Articles of Incorporation.

Our Articles of Incorporation provide that no director or officer shall be personally liable to our company or any of its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer involving any act or omission of such director or officer unless such acts or omissions involve: (i) a breach of the director's duty of loyalty to our company and our stock holders, (ii) bad faith, intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) the payment of dividends in violation of the General Corporate Law of Nevada, or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Our Bylaws provide we have the power to indemnify, to the greatest allowable extent permitted under the General Corporate Laws of Nevada, directors or officers of our company for any duties or obligations arising out of any acts or conduct of the officer or director performed for or on behalf of our company. We will reimburse each such person for all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any such claim or liability, including power to defend such persons from all suits or claims as provided for under the provisions of the General Corporate Law of Nevada.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company under Nevada law or otherwise, our company has been advised that the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees in which indemnification is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

II-1

We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of shares of common stock covered by this registration statement, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities. Each selling stockholder has agreed to indemnify us against liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from certain written information furnished to us by such selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities.

Item 17.

Undertakings.

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 arising 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 prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in 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;

II-10

(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;

(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.
