DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	Description of Business Islet Sciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Islet Sciences"), is a development stage company engaged in the research, development, and commercialization of patented technologies in the field of transplantation therapy for people with conditions requiring cell-based replacement treatments, with a focus on type 1, or insulin-dependent diabetes. Patented islet transplantation technology, along with our own developments, constitute methods for isolating, culturing, cryopreservation, and immuno-protection (microencapsulation) of islet cells. Islet Sciences intends to continue its research and development efforts and ultimately to introduce products to the market. Currently, Islet Sciences has no products for sale and are focused on research and development activities in preparation for clinical activities. Islet Sciences was incorporated under the name One E-Commerce Corporation on September 14, 1994 in the State of Nevada. Effective February 23, 2012, the Company changed its name to Islet Sciences, Inc. On March 14, 2012, Islet Sciences acquired DiaKine Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“DTI”). Islet Sciences together with its subsidiaries, Islet Sciences Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ISI”), and DTI are referred to as the Company. Going Concern The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of July 31, 2013, the Company had cash of $115. Further, the Company has incurred net losses of $1,294,854 and negative operating cash flows of $35,836 for the period ended July 31, 2013. Since inception, the Company has incurred operating losses of $18,737,157 and has had negative operating cash flows of $6,501,676. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our future cash requirements will depend on many factors, including continued scientific progress in our research and development programs, the scope and results of pre-clinical and clinical trials, the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals, the costs involved in filing, prosecuting and enforcing patents, competing technological and market developments, and the cost of product commercialization. The Company does not expect to generate a positive cash flow from operations at least until the commercial launch of its first product and possibly later given the expected spending for research and development programs and the cost of commercializing product candidates. The Company intends to raise additional capital or debt through private placements to support its research and operating requirements. The Company’s continued operations will depend on its ability to raise funds through various potential sources such as debt and equity financing. There can be no assurance that such capital will be available on favorable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, the Company may be forced to curtail its operations. Merger Agreement On September 15, 2011, Mr. John Welch, shareholder, director and Chief Executive Officer of One-E Commerce Corporation, entered into a stock purchase agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Welch sold to ISI, an aggregate of 9,902,180 shares of One E-Commerce Corporation common stock, which shares then represented approximately 54.06% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, and certain convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $514,458 and accrued interest, previously issued by One E-Commerce Corporation, for an aggregate purchase price of $250,000. Additionally, under the stock purchase agreement, ISI agreed to cause One E-Commerce Corporation to enter into a reverse merger transaction at a future date whereby the Company was to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of ISI in consideration for the issuance of its shares to the shareholders of ISI (“Reverse Merger Transaction”). The closing that took place on September 22, 2011, resulted in the change of control of One E-Commerce Corporation. Immediately after the closing, the shares together with the notes, acquired by ISI comprised 54.06% of the then issued and outstanding common stock of the One-E Commence Corporation on a non-diluted basis and 82.8% on a fully-diluted basis. On December 30, 2011, ONCE, Inc., a Delaware corporation wholly-owned by the Company (the “Merger Sub”), ISI and Islet Sciences consummated the Reverse Merger Transaction, whereby the Merger Sub was merged with and into ISI, and the holders of common stock of ISI received an aggregate of 38,005.87 shares of Islet Sciences’ Series B preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Series B Preferred”) in exchange for the cancellation of all of the shares of common stock of ISI formerly owned by them, and the holders of Series A preferred stock of ISI received an aggregate of 1,173 shares of the Series A preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Series A Preferred”) in exchange for the cancellation of all of the shares of Series A preferred stock of ISI formerly owned by them. The issuance of Series A and B Preferred, with each share of preferred stock having voting rights equal to 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, resulted in ISI’ shareholders having obtained control of the combined Company. ISI is deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and One E-Commerce Corporation to be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). The financial statements before the date of the Reverse Merger Transaction are those of ISI with the results of the Company being consolidated from the date of the Reverse Merger Transaction. The equity section and earnings per share have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse acquisition. The merger of a private operating company into a non-operating public shell corporation with nominal net assets is considered to be a capital transaction, in substance, rather than a business combination, for accounting purposes. Accordingly, ISI treated this transaction as a capital transaction without recording goodwill or adjusting any of its other assets or liabilities. The consideration in the amount of $1,309,547 for the Company, consisting of $250,000 paid in cash and $1,059,547 paid in the form of common stock, was recorded as an other expense item in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Effective February 23, 2012, Islet Sciences completed a 1-for-45 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock. Upon effectiveness of the reverse stock split, all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred were converted into common shares based on their respective conversion ratios. In connection with the closing of the Reverse Merger Transaction, ISI agreed to cancel the shares and the outstanding notes of One E-Commerce Corporation purchased from Mr. Welch, and the interest accrued thereon effective upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split.

Immediately after the closing, the shares together with the notes, acquired by ISI comprised 54.06% of the then issued and outstanding common stock of the One-E Commence Corporation on a non-diluted basis and 82.8% on a fully-diluted basis.

On December 30, 2011, ONCE, Inc., a Delaware corporation wholly-owned by the Company (the “Merger Sub”), ISI and Islet Sciences consummated the Reverse Merger Transaction, whereby the Merger Sub was merged with and into ISI, and the holders of common stock of ISI received an aggregate of 38,005.87 shares of Islet Sciences’ Series B preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Series B Preferred”) in exchange for the cancellation of all of the shares of common stock of ISI formerly owned by them, and the holders of Series A preferred stock of ISI received an aggregate of 1,173 shares of the Series A preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Series A Preferred”) in exchange for the cancellation of all of the shares of Series A preferred stock of ISI formerly owned by them. The issuance of Series A and B Preferred, with each share of preferred stock having voting rights equal to 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, resulted in ISI’ shareholders having obtained control of the combined Company. ISI is deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and One E-Commerce Corporation to be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer).
