The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. MYMETICS CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2004 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying interim period consolidated financial statements of Mymetics Corporation (the "Company") set forth herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. The interim period consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The accompanying financial statements of the Company are unaudited. However, in the opinion of the Company, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein contain all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments made during the three month period ended March 31, 2004 were of a normal and recurring nature. The amounts presented for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year. NOTE 2. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 98, basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Under SFAS No. 128, diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares, such as stock options and warrants, outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003 were 57,603,245 and 50,944,454, respectively. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the purpose of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the development stage period is 36,898,317. Common equivalent shares, such as stock options and warrants, were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 as their effect would be antidilutive. NOTE 3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan. The Company accounts for the plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25. "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to stock-based employee compensation.

NOTE 4. REPORTING CURRENCY Consistent with the location of its activities, beginning January 1, 1999, the Company adopted the euro (E) as its corporate currency. Accordingly, the Company prepared all accompanying financial statements in euros. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The statements contained in this report are not purely historical, but are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These forward looking statements concern matters that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Words such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "continue", "probably" or similar words are intended to identify forward looking statements, although not all forward looking statements contain these words. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date hereof to conform such statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us which attempt to advise interested parties of the factors which affect our business, including without limitation disclosures made under the captions "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Risk Factors," "Consolidated Financial Statements" and "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 and, to the extent included therein, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed during fiscal year 2003. OVERVIEW In March 2001, we acquired substantially all of the shares of Mymetics SA (formerly Hippocampe SA) as our primary operating business. Mymetics SA is a biotechnology research and development company devoted to fundamental and applied research in the areas of human and veterinary biology and medicine. The Company's primary objective is to develop therapies to treat certain retroviruses including human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, the virus that leads to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, or AIDS. Additional applications of our research include potential treatments and/or vaccines for animal AIDS, human and animal oncoviral leukemias, multiple sclerosis and organ transplantation. Since the acquisition of Mymetics SA, our financial statements have been prepared treating us as a development stage company. We currently do not make, market or sell any products or services. As of March 31, 2004, we had not performed any clinical testing and a commercially viable product is not expected for several more years. As such, we have not generated any significant revenues. Revenues reported by us consist of incidental serum by-products of our research and development activities and interest income. For the purpose of our financial reporting, the development stage started on May 2, 1990, which is the date that Mymetics SA was originally organized in France. As of March 31, 2004, we have an accumulated deficit of approximately E 24.2 million. Our losses have resulted primarily from research and development activities, related general and administrative expenses and bank fees incurred in connection with the acquisition of Mymetics SA. To date, our principal sources of funding have been private equity financings and bank financings. We expect to continue to incur substantial operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue our research and development activities. The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition for the three months ended March 31, 2004 should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this report on Form 10-Q. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 AND 2003 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 were nil. Costs and expenses decreased to E414,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from E690,000 (-40.0%) for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Research and development expenses decreased to E86,000 in the current period from E390,000 (-77.9%) in the comparative period of 2003 as a result of our difficult financial condition, as more fully disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. General and administrative expenses increased to E264,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2004 from E246,000 in the comparative period of 2003 due mostly to fees paid in warrants. The Corporation reported a net loss of E414,000, or E0.01 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to E690,000, or E0.01, for the three months ended March 31, 2003. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES These financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. We have experienced significant losses since inception resulting in a deficit in shareholders' equity of E4.3 million as of March 31, 2004, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to remain a going concern. Deficits in operating cash flows since inception have been financed through debt and equity sources. As of March 31, 2004, we had approximately E93,000 in cash compared to E125,000 at December 31, 2003. Net cash used by operating activities was E433,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to E661,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. A decrease in accounts payable used cash of E142,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to E5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Financing activities provided cash of E423,000 (of which E374,000 from the issuance of common stock to three new investors) for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to E511,000 in the same period last year. We had a non-revolving term facility in the principal amount of up to E3.15 million, which was to mature on June 30, 2004. Subsequent to March 31, 2004, MFC Merchant Bank SA agreed to extend the repayment due date to December 31, 2004, in exchange for 500,000 restricted common shares of Mymetics Corporation. The 500,000 shares were issued to the bank in May 2004. In order to remain a going concern, we intend to seek additional financial resources to continue our research and development, pre-clinical and clinical studies and regulatory activities necessary to bring our potential products to market and to establish production, marketing and sales capabilities. The timing and amount of spending of such financial resources cannot be accurately predicted and will depend on several factors, including the progress of our efforts in raising such financial resources, the progress of our research and development efforts and pre-clinical and clinical activities, competing technological and market developments, the time and costs of obtaining regulatory approvals, the time and costs involved in filing, prosecuting and enforcing patent claims, the progress and cost of commercialization of products currently under development, market acceptance and demand for our products and other factors beyond our control. We will seek to raise the required funds from US or European government agencies such as NIH or Eurovac, from humanitarian donors such as the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) or the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, lenders and/or equity or debt issuance and/or potential partnership with major international pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain grants and/or raise additional capital on terms satisfactory to us, or at all. In the event that we are not able to obtain such additional capital or grants, we would be required to restrict or even halt our operations. If adequate funds are not available, we could be required to delay development or commercialization of our products or technologies that we would otherwise seek to commercialize for ourselves, or reduce the marketing, customer support or other resources devoted to our products, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and result of operations. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates which could affect our financial condition and results of operations. We have not entered into derivative contracts for our own account to hedge against such risk. INTEREST RATE RISK Fluctuations in interest rates may affect the fair value of financial instruments sensitive to interest rates. An increase in interest rates may decrease the fair value and a decrease in interest rates may increase the fair value of such financial instruments. We have debt obligations which are sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. The following tables provide information about our exposure to interest rate fluctuations for the carrying amount of such debt obligations as of March 31, 2004 and 2003 and expected cash flows from these debt obligations: AS AT MARCH 31, 2004 (IN THOUSANDS)

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness and design of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)) and have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was being prepared. Changes in Internal Controls. None. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS None. All cases previously reported have been resolved or settled out of court. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS None. ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES None. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None. ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION NEW INVESTORS On January 5 and 25, 2004 respectively, two additional potential investors referred to in our filing 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2003 accepted to invest EUR 83,200 each, i.e. a total of EUR 166,400 (approximately USD 200,000) in exchange for 1,000,000 each, i.e. a total of 2,000,000 common shares of Mymetics Corporation at approximately USD 0.10 per share. The transaction was closed, and the funds received, on January 26, 2004. In addition to the common shares thus subscribed and in consideration of the fact that the market value of the Mymetics shares was fluctuating around USD 0.05 between December 24, 2003 and January 25, 2004, each of the new investors referred to above also received a warrant irrevocably entitling him to acquire before June 30, 2004, at a similar price of USD 0.10 per share, an equal number of common shares as he had initially subscribed. The Board of Directors subsequently decided to extend the exercise date of said warrants by one month, i.e. to July 31, 2004. On February 23, 2004, one of the investors referred to in our Form 8-K filed on February, 20, 2004 accepted to acquire an additional 2,500,000 common shares of Mymetics Corporation at 0.10 USD per share, bringing his total investment to 3,000, 000 common shares of Mymetics Corporation. The transaction was closed, and the funds received, on February 24, 2004. In addition of the common shares thus subscribed and in consideration of the fact that the market value of the Mymetics share was fluctuating around USD 0.05 between December 24, 2003 and February 24, 2004, this investor further received a warrant irrevocably entitling him to acquire before July 31, 2004, 2,500,000 common shares of the Company for the same price of USD 0.10 per share. The proceeds of these transactions have been used to i) pay critical creditors of Mymetics Corporation's French affiliate, Mymetics SA, which allowed us to settle all former employees claims against our French subsidiary. ii) settle, either totally or partially, amounts owed to critical service suppliers to Mymetics Corporation, thus allowing a gradual return to normal operations of the Company, and iii) launch certain research projects having a high potential for strengthening our negotiating position with major pharmaceutical companies. APPOINTMENTS On January 9, 2004, the Board of Directors appointed Professor Marc Girard, DVM, D. Sc., former Head of the Laboratory of Molecular Virology at the Pasteur Institute in Paris (France), former Director of the European Research Center for Virology and Immunology (CERVI) in Lyon (France), former Head of the HIV Task Force at the French National Agency for AIDS Research (ANRS), Paris, former Director General of the Merieux Foundation in Lyon (France), former Chairman of the European Consortium for an HIV Vaccine (EuroVac), Brussels, as Head of Vaccines Development, effective January 15, 2004 on a 50%, part time basis. In addition to his position as Head of Vaccines Development, the Directors unanimously appointed Professor Marc Girard, D. Sc., to the Scientific Advisory Board of Mymetics Corporation. SCIENTIFIC ADVANCES Recent work conducted with our French partner Protein'eXpert SA has positively demonstrated the biological functionality of the large scale, conformational mimicry between the gp41 HIV transmembrane protein and IL-2, a key protein sometimes referred to as "the immune system's conductor". We believe that understanding the functionality of such large scale, conformational mimicry, which we first identified in 1997, opens the way to an original and innovative approach to developing vaccines against AIDS. Mymetics' scientists and Protein'eXpert SA have been able to produce at low cost the synthetic, trimeric and soluble gp41 proteins used in such work and which we believe to be potential AIDS vaccine candidates. Mymetics holds several patents and patent applications based on this discovery, which we believe to be reinforced and vindicated by the above referenced results. ITEM 6.
