PROSPECTUS
SUMMARY
Our
Business
We are
dedicated to improving people’s health through the detection and eradication of
nanobacterium sanguineum
(nanobacteria). Our research is establishing the pathogenic role of Nanobacteria
in calcification, particularly in coronary artery heart disease and vascular
disease. We have identified two biomarkers of nanobacterial infection, labelled
NB2™ ELISA assays, to detect nanobacterial antigen ad IgG antibody. We are also
leveraging our proprietary knowledge and intellectual property to develop
therapies to treat nanobacterial infection. We currently market a patented
therapeutic nanobacteria regimen that we developed.
Our
intellectual property covers methods for the detection, growth and treatment of
Nanobacteria and is being leveraged to develop novel companion diagnostic and
therapeutic products to detect and treat nanobacterial infections. We are also
exploring commercialization opportunities in the bio-industrial and bio-medical
markets.
About
Nanobacteria - Nanobacteria are extremely small cell-walled micro organisms. We
believe that they are the smallest self-replicating organism ever detected.
Nanobacteria were first discovered in 1988 by a Finnish researcher, and Nanobac
co-Founder Olavi Kajander, M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Neva Ciftcioglu joined his team in
1991 and their corroborated work with nanobacteria has put them at the forefront
of research into this medically important pathogen. Their research was the first
to establish that blood-borne Nanobacteria forms slow-growing calcified colonies
in arteries and organs, much as coral reefs are formed.
There are
medical researchers that contend that nanobacteria not alive and they are
artifacts, contaminants or crystalline growths. We believe research shows that
nanobacteria have many characteristics of life and further research is required.
We are
also working on the following portfolio of diagnostic and therapeutic products
focused on Nanobacteria and diseases of pathological calcification.
1.
Diagnostics - We have developed two diagnostic assays to identify the presence
of Nanobacteria in blood. One test measures levels of Nanobacterial antigen
(NANO-CAPTURE - Nanobacterial Antigen Assay) and the other test measures whether
a patient has been exposed to Nanobacteria (NANO-SERO - Nanobacteria Antibody
Assay). Our goal is to develop diagnostic assays that will be globally
distributed for a variety of diseases associated with nanobacterial infection
and pathologic calcification. Our diagnostic tests will facilitate further
research into the cause and effect of Nanobacteria and will allow researchers
the ability to measure changes in levels of Nanobacteria in their test
patients.
2.
Therapeutics - We are in the process of implementing a clinical strategy to
develop novel therapies against nanobacterial infections. Currently, we offer a
combination of supplements that are designed to help break down the
hydroxylapatite shell that encapsulates Nanobacteria, which may make the
pathogen more susceptible to antimicrobial therapy. Preliminary results
demonstrate that our combination of supplements, along with the antibiotic
Tetracycline HCL, may reduce coronary calcium scores. However, further studies
are required and the preliminary results may be incorrect. To date, no drugs
have demonstrated the ability to significantly decrease coronary calcium scores.
3. Other
Applications - Nanobacteria may also be contaminating biologics, like vaccines
and bio-medical devices, like implantable hip replacement parts. We are
exploring commercial opportunities to detect and eradicate nanobacterial
infection or contamination in the following additional markets:
· |
Bio-Medical-
Vaccines and Blood Products |
· |
Bio-Industrial-
Implantable Durable Medical Devices and Medical Exam
Equipment |
Prospectus
Summary (continued)
Disease
Markets - Nanobacteria may be implicated in a variety of human diseases
associated with pathological calcification including coronary artery disease,
kidney stones, polycystic kidney disease, prostatitis and cancers with calcium.
Treatment costs associated with these diseases represent over $350 billion of
total healthcare spending. Most significant amongst this list is cardiovascular
disease. Cardiovascular disease represents 27% of all physician visits and 26%
of all physician scripts in the United States. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is
the most common form of heart disease. CAD begins as coronary artery
calcification that leads to atherosclerosis before developing into
CAD.
Our
principal executive offices are located at 2727 W. Martin Luther King Blvd.,
Suite 850, Tampa, Florida 33607. We were incorporated under the laws of the
state of Florida. Our telephone number is (813) 264-2241.

RISK
FACTORS
An
investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You
should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to
other information in this prospectus in evaluating our company and our business
before purchasing shares of common stock. Our business, operating results and
financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks.
The risks described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional
risks not presently known to us may also impair our business operations. You
could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these
risks.
We
require additional financing in order to continue in business as a going
concern, the availability of which is uncertain. We may be forced by business
and economic conditions to accept financing terms which will require us to issue
our securities at a discount, which could result in further dilution to our
existing stockholders.
As
discussed under the heading, "Management's Discussion and Analysis - Liquidity
and Capital Resources," we require additional financing to fund our operations.
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. In addition, any additional equity financing may involve substantial
dilution to our stockholders. If we fail to raise sufficient financing to meet
our immediate cash needs, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease
the operation of our business, which may result in the loss of some or all of
your investment in our common stock.
In
addition, in seeking debt or equity private placement financing, we may be
forced by business and economic conditions to accept terms which will require us
to issue our securities at a discount from the prevailing market price or face
amount, which could result in further dilution to our existing
stockholders.
Liquidity
and Working Capital Risks; Need for Additional Capital to Finance Growth and
Capital Requirements
Throughout
2004 and 2003, affiliates of our Chief Executive Officer have provided our
capital needs through loans and capital contributions. While these affiliates
continue to provide for the majority of our cash requirements, they are under no
obligation to continue such financing and/or strategic guidance. In the event
these affiliates should discontinue their support, we may have difficulty in
continuing our operations. In such an event, shareholders could lose their
investment in its entirety. Historically, these affiliates have provided capital
to us on a demand debt basis after which they may convert debt into shares of
our common stock. If, in the future we require additional capital, these
affiliates may contribute some or all of our requirements. We anticipate that as
a part of any such loan, these affiliates would have rights to convert into
additional shares of our common stock. In such an event and to the degree of
which we require these affiliates’ support, shareholders may experience
dilution. At present, we do not maintain key man insurance for our CEO.
In
addition to the financial support we may receive from affiliates of our CEO, we
may continue to seek to raise capital from public or private equity or debt
sources to provide working capital to meet our general and administrative costs
until net revenues make the business self-sustaining. We cannot guarantee that
we will be able to raise any such capital on terms acceptable to us or at all.
Such financing may be upon terms that are dilutive or potentially dilutive to
our stockholders. If alternative sources of financing are required, but are
insufficient or unavailable, we will be required to modify our growth and
operating plans in accordance with the extent of available funding.
Risk
Factors (continued)
Potential
Incorrect Conclusions on the Detection and Eradication of
Nanobacteria
Most of
our future revenue is based on our ability to detect and eradicate Nanobacteria.
If it is ultimately proved that our diagnostic methodologies and treatment
regimens as covered by our patents are ineffective or based upon incorrect
scientific conclusions, our existing patents and product lines may lose most or
all of their value. Further, if we are unsuccessful in leveraging our diagnostic
and therapeutic products to detect and treat nanobacterial diseases, we may not
generate sufficient revenue to offset our expenses.
Acceptance
of Products in the Marketplace is Uncertain.
Our
future financial performance will depend, at least in part, upon the
introduction and customer acceptance of our proposed treatments and products.
Our treatments and products may not achieve market acceptance, and such adverse
marketing results could materially harm the Company.
Limited
Operating History Anticipated Losses; Uncertainty of Future
Results
We have a
limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our Company and our
prospects can be based. Our prospects must be evaluated with a view to the risks
encountered by companies in early stages of development, particularly in light
of the uncertainties relating to the new and evolving biolife science research
which we intend to develop and market, and the acceptance of our business model.
We will be incurring costs to: (i) perform research studies to prove the
effectiveness of our pharmaceutical products, (ii) further develop and market
our products; (iii) establish distribution relationships; and (iv) build an
organization. To the extent that such expenses are not subsequently followed by
commensurate revenues, our business, results of operations and financial
condition will be materially adversely affected. We, therefore, cannot insure
that we will be able to immediately generate sufficient revenues. We expect
negative cash flow from operations to continue for at least the next 12 months
as we continue to develop and market our business. If cash generated by
operations is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity, we may be required to sell
additional equity or debt securities. The sale of additional equity or
convertible debt securities would result in additional dilution to our
stockholders. Our initial operations may not be profitable, since time will be
required to build our business to the point that our revenues will be sufficient
to cover our total operating costs and expenses. Our reaching a sufficient level
of sales revenues will depend upon a large number of factors, including
availability of sufficient working capital, the number of customers we are able
to attract and the costs of continuing development of our product
line.
Federal
Food and Drug Administration
Some or
all of our products may be governed by rules and regulations established by the
United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). Changes in FDA regulations
and the enforcement thereof may affect our biolife science business.
Furthermore, we may not be successful in filing and obtaining approval of our
510K or PMA filings with the FDA for our Nano-Capture Antigen and Nano-Sero IgG
ELISA assays.
Data
Obtained Through Clinical Trials.
Data
obtained from pre-clinical studies and clinical trials do not necessarily
predict results that will be obtained from later pre-clinical studies and
clinical trials. Moreover, pre-clinical and clinical data is susceptible to
varying interpretations, which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory
approval. A number of companies in the pharmaceutical industry have suffered
significant setbacks in advanced clinical trials, even after experiencing
promising results in earlier trials. The failure to adequately demonstrate the
safety and/or effectiveness of an intended product under development could delay
or prevent regulatory clearance of the potential drug or treatment, resulting in
delays to commercialization, and could materially harm the
business.
Risk
Factors (continued)
Competitors
in the Pharmaceutical Industry May Develop Competing
Technologies
Drug
companies and/or other health care companies may seek to develop and market
technologies which may compete with our Company’s technology. While we believe
that our technology regarding the prescription treatment of nanobacterial
infections caused by nanobacterium sanguineum is unique, other competitors may
develop similar or different treatments which may become more accepted by the
marketplace.
Regulations
may Inhibit our Ability to Sell Nanobac Supplements
Codex is
a joint body comprising government representatives
and non-governmental organizations, jointly managed by the United
Nation's (U.N.) Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World
Health Organization (WHO) of the U.N. The Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods
for Special Dietary Uses (CCNFSDU) has been attempting to develop international
guidelines for vitamins and minerals since 1991. In November 2004, these
guidelines were finalized and a vote to ratify will take place in July,
2005.
There is
a school of thought within the dietary supplement community that
buying vitamins and other dietary supplements will be severely limited by
this CODEX. Passage of the above guidelines may inhibit our ability to sell
Nanobac Supplement outside of the United States. We do not believe that the
passage will impact United State revenue as the U.S. draft position states that
"The United States supports consumer choice and access to dietary supplements
that are safe and are labelled in a truthful and non-misleading manner."
Further, the CODEX Draft notes that the Codex Guidelines for Vitamin and Mineral
Supplements will not adversely affect the availability of safe and truthfully
labelled supplement products in the U.S. marketplace or to U.S. consumers. If
our interpretation is not correct passage of the international guidelines may
inhibit the sales of Nanobac Supplement inside and outside of the United States
Risk
of Third Party Lawsuits.
We are
exposed to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the testing,
manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical products. We cannot assure
potential investors that such claims will not be asserted against the Company. A
successful liability claim or series of claims brought against us could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition. In addition, we may be sued
by third parties who claim that our products and treatments infringe upon the
intellectual property rights of others or that we have misappropriated trade
secrets of others. This risk is exacerbated by the fact that the validity and
breadth of claims covered in medical technology patents and the breadth and
scope of trade secret protection involve complex legal and factual questions for
which important legal principles are unresolved. Any litigation or claims
against us, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs, could place
a significant strain on our financial resources, and could harm our
reputation.
Government
Regulation
Healthcare
in general and the pharmaceuticals industry in particular are highly regulated
markets, subject to both federal and a multitude of state regulations and
guidelines. The majority of our business is still in clinical research
applications and is governed by the medical community. There can be no assurance
that changes to state or federal laws will not materially restrict our ability
to sell our products or develop new product lines.
Intellectual
Property Rights
We have a
family of patents encompassing the detection and eradication of nanobacteria.
There are risks inherent in any intellectual property rights in that they may be
challenged as being invalid or not original. Additionally, other parties may
abuse such intellectual rights, causing the Company to defend its rights.
Risk
Factors (continued)
Dependency
upon Key Technical and Scientific Personnel Who May Terminate Employment at Any
Time.
Our
success will depend to a significant degree upon the continued services of key
technical and scientific personnel, including but not limited to E. Olavi
Kajander, MD, PhD. In addition, our success may depend on our ability to attract
and retain other highly skilled personnel. Competition for qualified personnel
is intense, and the process of hiring and integrating such qualified personnel
is often lengthy. We may be unable to recruit personnel on a timely basis, if at
all. All of the Company’s management and other employees may voluntarily
terminate their employment with us at any time. The loss of the services of key
personnel, or the inability to attract and retain additional qualified
personnel, could result in delays to development, loss of sales, and/or
diversion of management resources that could have a material adverse affect on
the Company.
Competition
The
markets in which we compete include successful and well-capitalized competitors
that vary in size and scope. Principal competitors include Pfizer, Merck and
other pharmaceutical companies having unique treatments for cardiovascular
disease. All of these competitors are more established, benefit from greater
name recognition and have substantially greater resources than us. Moreover, we
could face additional competition as other established and emerging companies
enter the market and new products and technologies are introduced. Increased
competition could result in price reductions, fewer customer subscriptions,
reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could materially
adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. In
addition, current and potential competitors may make strategic acquisitions or
establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third-parties,
thereby increasing the ability of their products to address the needs of our
prospective consumers. While we believe we can differentiate our product from
these current and future competitors, focusing on the products' functionality,
flexibility, adaptability and features, there can be no assurance that we will
be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors. The
failure to effectively compete would have a material adverse effect upon our
business, financial condition and operating results.
Lack
of Independent Directors
We cannot
guarantee our Board of Directors will have a majority of independent directors
in the future. In the absence of a majority of independent directors, our
executive officers, who are also principal stockholders and directors, could
establish policies and enter into transactions without independent review and
approval thereof. This could present the potential for a conflict of interest
between the Company’s stockholders and the controlling officers and/or
directors.
Limitation
of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Our
officers and directors are required to exercise good faith and high integrity in
our management affairs. Our Articles of Incorporation and By Laws provide,
however, that our officers and directors shall have no liability to our
shareholders for losses sustained or liabilities incurred which arise from any
transaction in their respective managerial capacities unless they violated their
duty of loyalty, did not act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or
knowingly violated the law, approved an improper dividend or stock repurchase,
or derived an improper benefit from the transaction. Our Articles and By-Laws
also provide for the indemnification by us of the officers and directors against
any losses or liabilities they may incur as a result of the manner in which they
operate our business or conduct the internal affairs, provided that in
connection with these activities they act in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believe to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Company, and their conduct does not constitute gross negligence, misconduct or
breach of fiduciary obligations.
Continued
Control by Current Officers and Directors
The
present officers and directors control approximately 50% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, and are in a position to elect all of our Directors and
otherwise control the Company, including, without limitation, authorizing the
sale of equity or debt securities of the Company, the appointment of officers,
and the determination of officer's salaries. Shareholders have no cumulative
voting rights.

Selling
Shareholders (continued)
The
number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance
with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the information
is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose.
Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the
selling stockholder has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also
any shares, which the selling stockholder has the right to acquire within 60
days. The actual number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the
subscription agreements are subject to adjustment depending on the future market
price of the common stock, and could be materially less or more than the number
estimated in the table.
(1) |
Represents
common stock that potentially may be issued: (a) pursuant to subscription
agreements; and (b) upon the exercise of common share purchase warrants
issued to the named selling stockholders pursuant to subscription
agreements. The subscription agreements contains a contractual restriction
on beneficial share ownership. It provides that the holder may not receive
shares, or exercise the warrant, to the extent that such shares, would
result in the holder, together with its affiliates, beneficially owning in
excess of 4.99% of our then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
For the purposes of this table, any contractual restriction on the number
of securities the selling stockholders may own at any point in time has
been disregarded. |
(2) |
Includes
189,006,760 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of May 4,
2005 (including 1,666,667 shares in the process of being issued) and
32,625,000 Warrants outstanding related to the selling
shareholders. |

CIRCUMSTANCES
UNDER WHICH THE SELLING STOCKHOLDERS ACQUIRED SECURITIES
Subscription
Agreements
From
August through February 2005, we entered into subscription agreements, with the
selling stockholders, for a private placement of shares of common stock and
warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $2,950,000 ($1,000,000 of which is
from an affiliate of the Company). As of date, we received an aggregate of
$1,475,000 from the selling stockholders (including $500,000 from an affiliate
of the Company) and the balance will be paid within five days of the
effectiveness of this prospectus. The purchasers are irrevocably bound to
purchase our securities.
Shares
of Common Stock
The
shares of common stock are priced at the lesser of
(a)
$0.12, or
(b)
fifty-two percent (52%) of the average closing bid price for the common stock on
the five trading days immediately prior to the date on which the registration
statement is declared effective.
(the
lesser of (a) and (b) are referred to as the "Fixed Price").
Warrants
The
selling stockholders will be issued warrants exercisable into such number of
shares of common stock equal to 100% of the subscription amount paid by the
selling stockholders, divided by the Fixed Price. The warrants expire on
December 31, 2008. Fifty percent (50%) of such warrants are exercisable into
shares of common stock at a price per share equal to 110% of the lesser of (a)
$0.12; or (b) fifty-two percent (52%) of the average closing bid price for our
common stock for the five trading days immediately prior to the filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission of the Registration Statement]. The remaining
fifty percent (50%) of the warrants are exercisable into shares of common stock
at price per share equal to 150% of the lesser of (a) $0.12; or (b) fifty-two
percent (52%) of the average closing bid price for Common Stock on the five
trading days immediately prior to the filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission of the Registration Statement].
Conversion
of Current Liabilities
During
October and December 2004, we entered into agreements with two creditors for the
conversion of approximately $170,000 of current liabilities into 1,174,385
shares of common stock. The current liabilities were the result of professional
services provided to us.
OY
Acquisition
In
January, March and August, we executed agreements to issue 5,923,458 shares of
our common stock and 5,000,000 warrants exercisable into shares of our common
stock in exchange for the remaining 35% of Nanobac OY and the settlement of past
services provided by the minority stockholders of Nanobac OY. At the conclusion
of these transactions, we owned 100% of Nanobac OY.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
The
selling stockholders and any of their respective pledgees, donees, assignees and
other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their
shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on
which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at
fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of
the following methods when selling shares:
· |
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits the purchaser; |
· |
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent
but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction; |
· |
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its
account; |
· |
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange; |
· |
privately-negotiated
transactions; |
· |
short
sales that are not violations of the laws and regulations of any state or
the United States; |
· |
broker-dealers
may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such
shares at a stipulated price per share; |
· |
through
the writing of options on the shares; |
· |
a
combination of any such methods of sale; and
|
· |
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
|
The
selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholders
shall have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or
make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at
any particular time.
The
selling stockholders may also engage in short sales against the box, puts and
calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities
and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades.
The
selling stockholders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other
successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market makers
acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or
their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of
discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the
purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom
they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular
broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and
block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at
their own risk. It is possible that a selling stockholder will attempt to sell
shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other
purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then market price. The
selling stockholders cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this
prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the selling stockholders. The selling
stockholders and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any
of the shares offered in this prospectus, may be deemed to be "underwriters" as
that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules and regulations under
such acts. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or
agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be
deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
We are
required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the
shares, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the selling stockholders,
but excluding brokerage commissions or underwriter discounts.
The
selling stockholders, alternatively, may sell all or any part of the shares
offered in this prospectus through an underwriter. No selling stockholder has
entered into any agreement with a prospective underwriter and there is no
assurance that any such agreement will be entered into.
Plan
of Distribution (continued)
The
selling stockholders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the margin
provisions of customer agreements. If a selling stockholder defaults on a margin
loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares. The
selling stockholders and any other persons participating in the sale or
distribution of the shares will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations under
such act, including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may
restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of
any of the shares by, the selling stockholders or any other such person. In the
event that the selling stockholders are deemed affiliated purchasers or
distribution participants within the meaning of Regulation M, then the selling
stockholders will not be permitted to engage in short sales of common stock.
Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities
are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other
activities with respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior
to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or
exemptions. In regards to short sells, the selling stockholder can only cover
its short position with the securities they receive from us upon conversion. In
addition, if such short sale is deemed to be a stabilizing activity, then the
selling stockholder will not be permitted to engage in a short sale of our
common stock. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the
shares.
LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
Except as
described below, we know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings
against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceedings or
pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors,
officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholders are an
adverse party or has a material interest adverse to us.
On
September 24, 2004 a civil action was filed in United States District Court -
Southern District of California by World Health Products, LLC (“World Health”)
broadly alleging that the Company, together with a customer of the Company
(“Customer”), has infringed on its Patent Number 5,602,180 related to the sale
of suppositories included in the Company’s supplement product. World Health
alleged additional complaints against the Customer to which the Company is not
liable. During February 2005, World Health dropped the Company from their
lawsuit as there tests of the Company’s suppositories determined that World
Health’s patents were not being infringed upon.

DESCRIPTION
OF COMMON STOCK
Our
authorized capital stock consists of 250,000,000 shares of common stock no par
value, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with no par value. As of May 4,
2005, there were 208,798,425 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding,
including shares underlying a subscription. Each stockholder is entitled to one
vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of
stockholders, including the election of directors.
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 Nanobac, its capital requirements, general business
conditions and other pertinent factors. It is not anticipated that dividends
will be paid in the foreseeable future.
Stockholders
do not have pre-emptive rights to subscribe for additional shares of common
stock if issued by us. There are no conversion, redemption, sinking fund or
similar provisions regarding the common stock.
Shares of
our common stock are subject to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions
in "penny stocks". "Penny stock" is defined 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. For the foreseeable future,
our common stock will most likely continue to be 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 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.
LEGAL
MATTERS
The
validity of the shares of common stock offered by the selling stockholders was
passed upon by the law firm of Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP.

DISCLOSURE
OF SEC POSITION OF
INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide to the fullest extent permitted
by Florida law, a director or officer of Nanobac shall not be personally liable
to Nanobac or its shareholders for damages for breach of such director's or
officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, is to eliminate the rights of Nanobac and its
shareholders (through shareholders' derivative suits on behalf of Nanobac) to
recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty
of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or
grossly negligent behaviour), except under certain situations defined by
statute. Nanobac believes that the indemnification provisions in its Certificate
of Incorporation, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified
persons as directors and officers.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act might be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our company under the
provisions described above, we have been informed 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.
DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
We are a
research-based bio-lifescience company. Our research is focused on investigating
the role of Nanobacterium sanguineum, (“Nanobacteria”) in human diseases.
Researchers at Nanobac have discovered a novel nano-sized particle that we
believe is responsible for a majority of diseases associated with soft tissue
calcification or plaque. Nanobacteria are extremely tiny, mineral forming units
composed of calcium and phosphate, two primary components of bones and teeth.
Because of the mineralizing properties of Nanobacteria, they have also been
called calcifying nano-particles. Calcifying nano-particles have been identified
at the center (nidis) of numerous diseased tissues and floating in blood vessels
and in the urinary tract.
While
calcification is a normal process for building healthy bones and teeth,
calcification also plays a role in other conditions related to diseases, such as
strokes and heart attacks. We believe that blood-borne nanobacteria forms
slow-growing calcified colonies in arteries and organs, much as coral reefs are
formed. Calcification of blood vessels typically involves the heart’s coronary
arteries in atherosclerosis. It also occurs in arteries more generally
throughout the body in arteriosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. Kidney
stones are calcifications within the urinary tracts. In addition, pathologic or
soft tissue calcifications are observed in many other diseases such as,
prostatitis (a painful inflammation of the prostate gland), and Polycystic
Kidney Disease (growths of cysts in the kidneys). Research has shown the
presence of Nanobacteria in the parts of the body affected by these diseases. We
believe that Nanobacteria may play a key role in the pathogenesis of these and
other diseases.
We
believe that our research will lead to a better understanding of Nanobacteria
and its role in disease. This in turn will enable us to develop better
diagnostic tests to detect the presence of Nanobacteria and therapies to treat
Nanobacterial infection.
Our
objective is to gain a better understanding of the role Nanobacteria plays in
diseases associated with soft tissue calcification (or the build up of calcified
deposits within the body), and to develop new methods to detect and treat
diseases associated with nanobacterial infection. At the same time, we intend to
expand the sales of our Dietary Supplements and In Vitro Diagnostic products.
Our business is comprised of three areas:
· |
Bio-Medical
Research – Pharmaceutical Drug
Discovery |
We
believe these three areas will fuel each other. The development of new and more
effective methods to diagnose nanobacterial infection and diseases involving
pathologic calcification should increase the demand for our dietary supplements
and for new drugs that we may bring to the market alone or in partnership.
Likewise, as more effective therapies come to market, diagnostic test ordering
tends to increase.
While
there is still a long way to go in the study of Nanobacteria, we are pleased
with the results we have achieved thus far and we are optimistic about the
prospects for the future development of diagnostic tests and treatments for
diseases caused by - or associated with - nanobacterial infection.
Dietary
Supplement Products
Through
our research, we have developed a combination of dietary supplements called
“Nanobac Supplements” that are part of a patented therapeutic regimen.
Preliminary
studies have shown that the Nanobac Supplements in combination with the
antibiotic Tetracycline may decrease soft tissue calcification. One component of
the Nanobac Supplements is a calcium disodium ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid
(“EDTA”) rectal suppository. EDTA is a synthetic amino acid that acts as a
chelator (binding molecules such as metals and minerals and holding them tightly
so that they can be removed from a system). EDTA chelation removes heavy metals
and minerals from the blood, and is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (“the FDA”) for use in treating lead poisoning and toxicity from
other heavy metals. Studies have shown that EDTA may help break up calcium
deposits allowing the calcium to be removed from the body.
Description
of Business (continued)
The
Company also markets a dietary supplement that is combined with the EDTA
suppository. The Nanobac Oral Supplement is a proprietary blend of essential
amino acids, enzymes, antioxidants and natural anti-inflammatory
components.
- |
Enzymes
are proteins produced by living organisms and functioning as biochemical
catalysts in living organisms. Enzymes can speed up reactions in the body
and this may help injured tissue repair
faster. |
- |
An
antioxidant is a chemical compound or substance that inhibits oxidation.
The Nanobac Oral Supplement includes several major antioxidants.
Increasing evidence suggests that using antioxidants can prevent LDL
cholesterol lipoprotein oxidation and its resulting damage to arterial
tissue. |
We intend
to maximize the sales of our existing Nanobac Supplements by establishing
revenue generating collaborations with medical providers and expanding our
channels of distribution through partnerships with complementary technology
companies.
A recent
preliminary study of prostatitis patients provided evidence that patients using
the Nanobac Supplements, combined with the antibiotic Tetracycline, over a three
month period showed significant improvement in their symptoms of chronic
prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome. We are encouraged by the findings of
this and other studies and are actively marketing the Nanobac Supplements while
continuing our research into the cause of soft tissue calcification and effect
of Nanobacteria on diseases. Based upon our findings, we anticipate developing
more effective countermeasures to treat diseases in which Nanobacteria may play
a role.
Diagnostics
We have
developed two diagnostic assays to identify the presence of Nanobacteria in
blood. One test measures levels of Nanobacterial antigen (NANO-CAPTURE -
Nanobacterial Antigen Assay) and the other test measures whether a patient has
been exposed to Nanobacteria (NANO-SERO - Nanobacteria Antibody Assay).
An
antigen is generally defined as a substance that, when introduced into the body,
stimulates the production of an antibody. An antibody is generally defined as
any of various proteins in the blood that are generated in reaction to foreign
proteins or polysaccharides, neutralize them, and thus produce immunity against
certain microorganisms or their toxins.
In
October 2004 we announced the signing of a Manufacturing Agreement with
Medicorp, Inc., for the production of NANO-CAPTURE and NANO-SERO Assays. Nanobac
is transferring production of both assays from our Nanobac OY research
laboratory in Kuopio, Finland to Medicorp in preparation for expanded
distribution and potential FDA clinical trials. Medicorp is Canada's largest,
independent ISO 9001-certified manufacturer and distributor of immunodiagnostic
and microbiology products.
The
NANO-CAPTURE and NANO-SERO test kits will be sold through a distributor network.
We have signed a distribution agreement with Oxoid Ltd. (“Oxoid”) for
territories in Europe, Brazil and Australia. Oxoid is one of the world's leading
manufacturers and distributors of microbiological culture media and other
diagnostic products. With corporate headquarters in Basingstoke, Hampshire,
Oxoid Ltd is supported by a network of wholly owned sales and distribution
companies in Europe, North and South America and Australia. We have also
recently received notification of CE Mark status, which is necessary for
distribution of our kits in Europe.
Our goal
is to develop diagnostic assays that will be globally distributed for a variety
of diseases associated with nanobacterial infection and pathologic
calcification. Our diagnostic tests will facilitate further research into the
cause and effect of Nanobacteria and will allow researchers the ability to
measure changes in levels of Nanobacteria in their test patients.

Research
Nanobacterial
research is ongoing around the world. Our lead scientists Olavi Kajander and
Neva Ciftcioglu, have formed multidisciplinary alliances with top researchers
including: Hojatollah Vali, McGill University, Canada; Mayo Clinic, Rochester,
Minnesota; University of South Florida; Iowa State University; D. Shoskes,
Cleveland Clinic; Garcia-Cuerpo, Spain; China Ghangsha group; Sommer,
Univ. of Ulm; Pretorius, South-Africa; G. Epstein/J.T. Salonen; Tom
& Marcia Hjelle, Univ. of Illinois; Y. Av-Gay, University of British
Columbia; and R. Berger, Miami Heart Institute, Miami FL. We intend to serve as
the nexus for research scientists and become the premier leader in nanobacterial
research and distribution of knowledge. We generally retain the rights for the
commercialization of intellectual property that result from these collaborative
studies.
To date,
these collaborations have resulted in the publishing of over 80 articles,
numerous abstracts and book chapters. Example publications since 1998 include
articles in Science, Nature and Nature Medicine, Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences, Lancet, New Scientist, Molecular Medicine, PDA Journal,
Kidney International, Circulation, Journal of Pathophysiology, and American
Society for Microbiology.
In 2004,
we entered into a Space Act Agreement with NASA’s Johnson Space Center (“JSC”),
Houston Texas, to collaborate on the research of nanobacterium sanguineum and
its nature and role in pathological calcification, including the detection and
treatment of the pathogen. Since Astronauts may be more prone to an increased
rate of pathological calcification while in a zero gravity environment, the
collaboration will support NASA’s need to better understand the effects of
long-term space travel on humans. In addition, Nanobac’s work provides a model
for studying mineralized organic matters that could aid NASA in the search for
extraterrestrial life.
Nanobac
co-founder and Director of Science, Neva Ciftcioglu, Ph.D. will remain at NASA
JSC as Staff Scientist and principal researcher. Under the agreement, NASA will
provide workspace at JSC for Nanobac’s personnel located at JSC. The agreement
further provides Nanobac the opportunity to work together with a
multidisciplinary team of NASA researchers while having access to basic
laboratory services for nanobacteria science, including electron microscopy,
molecular biology and geology-mineralogy research facilities. Projects ranging
from searching for nanobacteria biosignatures in earth fossils and in Mars
meteorites to diagnosing and treating nanobacteria infection are anticipated.
Nanobac will provide JSC with equipment and specialty supplies for nanobacteria
research and apply its pioneering diagnostic and treatment experience in the
field.
We own
the rights for the commercialization of intellectual property that results from
our collaborative research at NASA JSC. However, the U.S. Federal Government
retains the right to use this intellectual property for U.S. Government purposes
without compensation to us.

The
Role of Nanobacteria in Calcification Associated
Diseases
Cardiovascular
Diseases
The most
serious and widespread of the diseases caused by calcified plaque are
atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and coronary heart disease. Coronary
heart disease is caused by a narrowing of the coronary arteries that feed the
heart, which may be caused by the build-up of Nanobacteria.
Many
cardiovascular researchers have shown that atherosclerosis might be the
life-long result of our bodies’ various healing mechanisms and inflammatory
responses to infection. Researchers have sought to isolate an infectious agent
that is present in our tissues that could stimulate the development of
atherosclerotic plaques. Until recently, no single infection, viral or
bacterial, had been implicated.
The
Company believes that Nanobacteria might play a key role in the development of
atherosclerosis and consequently focused its early efforts on investigating the
relationship between Nanobacteria and atherosclerosis.
Three
recently published studies conducted by prominent medical researchers have
collectively shown that Nanobacteria might be the previously unidentified agent
involved in the development of atherosclerotic heart disease. A group of
researchers at the Mayo Clinic, led by Virginia Miller, PhD showed that
Nanobacteria are present in calcified atherosclerotic coronary arteries and
heart valves.
Cardiovascular
researcher Benedict Maniscalco, MD published a study that showed that patients
with severe coronary artery disease tested positive for nanobacterial antigen.
The study also indicated that a majority of cardiac patients that received the
Nanobac Supplements had a decrease in their coronary artery calcium scores.
Angina was decreased or ablated in 16 of 19 patients. Lipid (fats and fat like
materials) profiles also improved in most patients. Dr. Maniscalco’s study
concluded that the coronary artery calcium scores of most coronary artery
disease patients decreased during the period they used the Nanobac Supplements
inferring regression of calcified coronary artery plaque volume. The patients
tolerated the therapy well and their angina and lipid profiles improved.
Also, at
a recent American Heart Association scientific session, one of the world’s most
prominent heart disease researchers, Stephen E. Epstein, MD, Director of the
Cardiovascular Research Institute at Washington Hospital Medical Center in
Washington D.C., reported that 94% of people with calcified coronary arteries
have nanobacterial infection as measured by the Company’s Nanobacterial Antibody
Assay, and that antibody results correlated with coronary calcification scoring.
Therefore, the Nanobacterial Antibody Assay may be a predictor of patients with
high levels of calcium in their coronary arteries. These patients are at the
highest risk for a heart attack. Thus, the Nanobacterial Antibody Assay could be
used as a biomarker that may predict which patients are at greatest risk for a
heart attack.
The
collective weight of the three studies suggests that nanobacteria infection may
be the previously unknown infectious agent associated with atherosclerotic
plaque. The physical presence of Nanobacteria in the diseased artherosclerotic
tissues and the correlation with heart disease calcification levels suggests
that long-term nanobacterial infection is involved in the development of the
calcification in atherosclerotic heart disease.
Nanobac
is continuing its research of the relationship between nanobacterial infection
and heart disease and has expanded its research to include other diseases
involving pathological calcification.

Urological
Diseases
Kidney
stones are one of the most common disorders of the urinary tract. A kidney stone
is a solid piece of material that forms in the kidney out of substances in the
urine. A problem stone can block the flow of urine and cause great
pain.
Prostatitis
is a painful inflammation of the prostate gland. Symptoms may include pain while
urinating or ejaculating, chills or fever, perineal, testicular, bladder or low
back pain.
Polycystic
kidney disease (“PKD”) is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of
numerous cysts in the kidneys. PKD cysts can slowly replace much of the mass of
the kidneys, reducing kidney function and leading to kidney failure.
Researchers
have shown a relationship between Nanobacteria and urological diseases such as
kidney stones, prostatitis, and PKD. Until these studies, no single infection,
viral or bacterial, had been identified that could have caused the progression
of these diseases.
Nanobac
has focused on investigating the relationship between Nanobacteria and these
urological diseases.
Kidney
Stones: Several
studies conducted by prominent medical researchers have collectively shown
Nanobacteria as a probable cause of kidney stone formation. Depending upon the
patient population, researchers have found that 62% to 97% of kidney stones have
Nanobacteria. The presence of Nanobacteria is independent of the type of kidney
stone.
It is
believed that Nanobacteria create the calcific deposits that are physically
present in the kidney stones and therefore may be the cause of kidney stone
formation.
The
Company has been working with scientists at NASA to research the effects of
Nanobacteria in the formation of kidney stones during space flights. Neva
Ciftcioglu, the Company’s Director of Science, and a team of NASA scientists
used multiple techniques to determine that Nanobacteria infection multiplies
faster in space flight simulated conditions than on Earth. This determination is
especially important to NASA as it indicates that astronauts on future long-term
missions to the moon and Mars are at an increased risk for developing kidney
stones.
The
Company is continuing its collaboration with NASA. The observation that
Nanobacteria grow faster in conditions simulating the microgravity conditions of
space also allows researchers to grow cultures faster. A problem facing
researchers in studying Nanobacteria had been in developing a sufficient amount
of material. Nanobacterial particles double about once every three days compared
to typical bacteria which doubles about every 20 minutes.
Prostatitis: A
recent observational study of prostatitis patients, led by Daniel A. Shoskes,
M.D., of Cleveland Clinic Florida, demonstrated a significant improvement in the
symptoms of chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome for those
patients who took Nanobac Supplements for a period of three months. The treated
group of fifteen patients had prostatic stones and longstanding Chronic Pelvic
Pain Syndrome (“CPPS”) symptoms that were not responsive to prior conventional
therapies. Two of the patients in the test group who had been on complete
medical disability have returned to work.
Polycystic
Kidney Disease (“PKD”): Studies
have shown that 100% of kidney cyst fluids and urine were positive for
Nanobacteria. Nanobac plans to initiate research trials that will evaluate the
link between Nanobacteria and PKD.

Nanobacterium
Sanguineum Background and Description
Nanobacterium
sanguineum (nanobacteria) was discovered in 1988 by Finnish researcher Olavi
Kajander, M.D., PhD. Dr. Kajander was carrying out mammalian cell research when
a routine mammalian cell culture experiment, using commercially available fetal
bovine serum as the growth media, just wasn't getting off the ground. The cells
weren't thriving and dividing like they should; the cells were sickly and died
off before any study could be done. Strange vacuoles were forming up in many of
the cells, and these cells subsequently died. Dr. Kajander, like all basic cell
researchers, had encountered this problem before; sometimes their cell cultures
worked, and sometimes they didn't. Dr. Kajander researched this further and
after several weeks of culture, turbidity developed in one of the flasks. We
believe this represented the first isolation of Nanobacterium sanguineum.
In 1991
Dr. Kajander was joined by microbiologist Neva Ciftcioglu, Ph.D. at the
University of Kuopio, Finland. Their research established that the blood-borne
nanobacteria forms slow-growing calcified colonies in arteries and organs, much
as coral reefs are formed. Nanobacteria have been found in human and animal
blood, urine and saliva. The name "nanobacteria" was introduced and patented by
Dr. Olavi Kajander as the name for very small mineral-associated bacteria-like
particles.
Competition
The
market for providing physicians and managed care organizations with nanobacteria
related disease management and services is just emerging, and we believe are
currently the only company providing a comprehensive approach to managing
nanobacterial diseases.
The
general market for academic researchers and clinical laboratories with In Vitro
diagnostic test kits is highly competitive and includes diagnostic companies
such as, Roche, Abbott, Bayer, Johnson & Johnson, and Dade
Behring.
The
general market for specialized clinical laboratory services for detection,
diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring is highly competitive and dominated by Quest
and Labcorp. Their competitive strength lies in their service capabilities and
their ability to provide local couriers for specimen pickup and broad-based
contracting ability with managed care organizations.
The
general market for pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements is also highly
competitive and includes Fortune 500 pharmaceutical companies as well as small
to medium sized pharmaceutical and dietary supplement companies.
Nanobac
believes that it will be able to grow and defend the specialized nanobacteria
related disease market niche due to its expertise in the field, its disease
management approach, and its technology leadership.

Government
Regulation
Clinical
Reference Laboratory
The
clinical reference laboratory operations are not regulated directly by the FDA.
Clinical reference laboratories in the United States are regulated under the
federal Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA). Our reference laboratory is
located in Kuopio Finland and is regulated by European Union and Finland laws
and is not regulated by CLIA.
In
Vitro Diagnostics
The FDA
regulates in vitro diagnostic kits and reagents. We intend to begin clinical
studies to support an FDA filing for both the NANO-CAPTURE and NANO-SERO assays.
The timing of our clinical trials and FDA approval is dependent on future
funding. We recently received notification that our NANO-CAPTURE and NANO-SERO
assays meet the criteria for CE Mark in Europe.
Dietary
Supplements
FDA
regulates dietary supplements under a different set of regulations than those
covering "conventional" foods and drug products (prescription and
Over-the-Counter). Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994
(DSHEA), the dietary supplement manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that a
dietary supplement is safe before it is marketed. FDA is responsible for taking
action against any unsafe dietary supplement product after it reaches the
market. Generally, manufacturers do not need to register with FDA nor get FDA
approval before producing or selling dietary supplements. Manufacturers must
make sure that product label information is truthful and not misleading.
FDA's
post-marketing responsibilities include monitoring safety, e.g. voluntary
dietary supplement adverse event reporting, and product information, such as
labelling, claims, package inserts, and accompanying literature. The Federal
Trade Commission regulates dietary supplement advertising.
Environmental
Matters
We have
not been impacted financially or operationally by environmental laws.
Geographic
We will
initially focus our dietary supplement business in North America. To date, over
95% of our revenue is from the United States. We also plan to develop our
markets in the European Union through the operations of our Finnish Subsidiary,
Nanobac OY.
Employees
We have
seven employees in our corporate headquarters in Tampa, Florida, one employee at
the NASA facility in Houston Texas and five employees in Finland.
MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
During
calendar 2004, and for the foreseeable future, our primary focus is on the
research of the role Nanobacteria plays in human diseases in which pathologic
calcification deposits are found. Since the beginning of 2004, there have been
an increasing number of studies linking Nanobacteria to serious health problems,
including cardiovascular diseases, peripheral vascular diseases, prostatitis,
kidney stones, and Polycystic Kidney Disease. These studies have provided
additional evidence of a relationship between Nanobacteria and these diseases in
which pathological calcification is present. Our focus is in determining how
Nanobacteria works and what countermeasures can be developed to better treat
these diseases.
Recently
we signed a collaborative agreement with the Mayo Foundation for Medical
Education and Research to conduct research relating to the prevalence and
treatment of nanobacteria in specific disease populations. The parties will
evaluate the role of nanobacteria through four studies utilizing diagnostic test
kits developed by Nanobac.
We
continue with our collaborative efforts with scientists at NASA researching the
effects of Nanobacteria in the formation of kidney stones under conditions
simulating space flight. We also signed a collaborative agreement with Iowa
State University to work with the Department of Geological and Atmospheric
Sciences to explore novel methodologies for detecting calcified nano-particles
which may be related to nanobacteria.
While
there remains significant work ahead, we are encouraged by the progress being
made in the study of Nanobacteria and the increasing level of acceptance in the
medical community that there may be a relationship between the nano-particles we
call Nanobacteria and the progression of certain diseases involving pathologic
calcification. Our continuing research and development efforts, along with our
efforts in obtaining recognition by various regulatory agencies (e.g. the FDA
and similar agencies throughout the world), will require significant additional
amounts of financing over the next several years.
We are
attempting to protect the intellectual property rights to our discoveries
including our treatment therapies and our diagnostic methods by obtaining
patents. We currently have one issued patent and multiple patent applications
for treatment therapies including the combination of EDTA and tetracycline to
treat nanobacteria infections and the formula mix and treatment regimen for
Nanobac Supplements, We also have one issued patent and multiple patent
applications related to our diagnostic products We are attempting to further
protect our intellectual property rights by obtaining additional patents in
unique areas of research with respect to the role of Nanobacteria in pathologic
calcification. These efforts are ongoing and will require significant additional
infusions of financing to complete. It is also anticipated that additional
patents will be sought in the future as our research and development efforts
yield new discoveries.
We began
direct sales of our Nanobac Supplements in June 2004. Nanobac Supplements are
currently being marketed to the alternative medicine market and directly to the
customer over the Internet. We anticipate that the Nanobac Supplements are the
first generation of treatment therapies that we will develop and that the
portfolio of treatments will increase as a result of our continuing research
into the effect of Nanobacteria in numerous diseases.
During
calendar 2004, our two diagnostic tests have gained additional recognition for
their ability to identify Nanobacteria. We plan to initiate marketing our
diagnostic testing kits in Europe during the first half of 2005.
During
April 2004, we announced a name change from Nanobac Pharmaceuticals,
Incorporated to Nanobac Life Sciences, Inc. to become effective upon approval by
the shareholders.

During
December 2003, we voluntarily discontinued offering NanobacTX, which accounted
for 84% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003. Accordingly, our
revenue for the first half of 2004 was significantly reduced from the level
experienced in the last half of 2003. During February 2004, we licensed a new
product to an affiliated third party. Effective June 2004, the above license
agreement was cancelled and we initiated sales of this product directly to
customers under the name of Nanobac Supplements. We are in the process of
accelerating our research and developing new products for better patient
acceptance.
Revenue
for the last quarter of 2004 averaged approximately $45,000 per month. Revenue
for the year ended December 31, 2003 represents seven months of sales subsequent
to our acquisition of LABS in June 2003.
Cost
of revenue
Cost of
revenue consists of direct materials, testing services (for diagnostic products)
and shipping. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue was 28% for the year
ended December 31, 2004 compared to 69% for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Cost of revenue for 2003 included $150,000 of fixed lab fees for our diagnostic
products. Without this fee, our cost of revenue would have been approximately
38% as a percentage of revenue. This fixed lab fee was eliminated in October
2003 and replaced with a variable cost structure, which significantly decreased
cost of revenue.
In
addition, the lower cost of revenue in 2004 was due in part to the 2004 license
revenue having no direct costs. During June 2004, this licensing agreement was
terminated and we initiated sales of Nanobac Supplements directly to customers,
which has resulted in higher revenue and cost of revenue.
Gross
Profit
Gross
profit as a percentage of revenue was 72%, for the year ended December 31, 2004
compared to 31% for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in gross
profit percentage is attributable to the 2004 license revenue having no costs
and the existence of $150,000 of fixed lab costs in 2003 which were not incurred
in 2004. We anticipate gross profit as a percentage of revenue to be between 65%
and 70% for 2005.

For 2004,
64% of the remaining SG&A expenses are comprised of payroll, travel and
professional fees. Expenses to operate as a public company (primarily
professional fees and investor relations costs) comprise an additional 18% of
the remaining SG&A expense. Other significant SG&A expenses include
facility rental and insurance.
The
increase in SG&A for the year ended December 31, 2004 over December 31, 2003
(net of charges for stock issuances) is primarily attributable to the timing of
the acquisition of LABS in June 2003. Only seven months of SG&A for LABS is
included in the above SG&A expenses for 2003 compared to twelve months of
expenses in 2004.
SG&A
expenses for HealthCentrics are included in “Discontinued Operations”.
Research
and Development
For the
year ended December 31, 2004, approximately 65% of research and development
(“R&D“) expenses are for payroll and medical director fees and approximately
25% of R&D expenses are for research studies. Expenses for research studies
fluctuate from year to year as these expenses are dependent on specific
initiatives and funding sources. Remaining R&D expenses include patents, our
Finland lab and travel.
R&D
expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased 340% compared to the
year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in R&D for the year ended
December 31, 2004 over December 31, 2003 is primarily attributable to the
acquisitions of LABS and OY. LABS was acquired in June 2003 and OY was acquired
in November 2003 and includes our laboratory in Koupio Finland. Accordingly,
only seven months of R&D for LABS and one and one-half months of R&D for
OY are included in the above expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003
compared to twelve months for 2004. This increase also reflects our emphasis on
R&D subsequent to the June 2003 acquisition of LABS. Specific increases
include increased payroll, initiation of research studies, expansion of our
patents and $500,000 of signing bonuses with the execution of employment
agreements for key scientific personnel.
R&D
expenses for HealthCentrics are included in “Discontinued Operations”. We intend
to continue to our R&D investment in the coming year.

additional five months of LABS SG&A expenses in 2004 compared to 2003.
We are
experiencing significant losses as we conduct research and development related
to nanobacteria and launch our products and services. We believe it will take
significant time before we will earn meaningful revenue to offset our expenses
and there is no assurance that we will be able to accomplish this goal. As a
result of the losses, we are dependent on affiliates of our CEO and other
investors to provide sufficient cash sources to fund our operations.

Discontinued
Operations
During
October 2003, we decided to divest our HealthCentrics’ business unit to focus
exclusively on our nanobacteria business unit. We were unsuccessful in finding a
buyer in 2003 for this business unit. During March 2004, this business unit was
sold to an affiliate of our CEO for consideration of $250,000 plus assumption of
net liabilities of approximately $499,000. Our gain on disposal of approximately
$749,000 is accounted for as a capital contribution given the related party
nature of the arrangement.
As a
result of our decision to dispose of the HealthCentrics business unit, the
operations of HealthCentrics were retroactively removed from continuing
operations and disclosed as a single line item on the statements of operations.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
December 31, 2004, we had total assets of $9.7 million of which only $115,000
were current assets. At December 31, 2004, we had total current liabilities of
$1.3 million and a working capital deficit of $1.2 million.
Since the
United States Bankruptcy Court confirmed a plan of reorganization that allowed
the Company to emerge from Chapter 11 during calendar 2002, the Company has
financed its activities primarily through loans made by entities affiliated with
our current Chief Executive Officer (referred to herein as “the Affiliated
Entities”). These loans were made as funding was needed and were extremely
advantageous to the Company in that the amounts were funded as the Company
needed financial infusions and allowed the Company to avoid the costs and
distractions of attempting to raise these amounts from unrelated parties. It is
unrealistic to believe that unrelated parties would have offered terms as
generous as those obtained from the Affiliated Entities, and it is also unlikely
that any financing could have been obtained under any terms without the
financing of the Affiliated Entities.
As
discussed in Item 5, from time to time the Affiliated Entities have agreed to
allow a portion of the loan balances to be converted into shares of the
Company’s common stock. On September 30, 2004, $7,500,000 of the loan balance
was converted into 29,999,964 shares of our common stock at a price of $.25 per
share. There is no obligation on the part of the Affiliated Entities to make
additional loans to the Company. The Affiliated Entities are also under no
obligation to convert any portion of the loan balances owed to it into
additional shares of the Company’s stock.
As is
also discussed in Item 5, since August of 2004, the Company has received $1.4
million (net of $125,000 of expenses) from three unaffiliated investors and one
affiliate for shares of the Company’s stock and an equal amount of warrants to
acquire additional shares of the Company’s stock. The exact number of shares to
be issued is dependent upon the average closing bid price of the Company’s stock
on the five trading days immediately prior to the date on which a registration
statement for these shares is declared effective. The purchase price of the
shares is equal to the lesser of (1) $.12 or (2) 52% of the average closing
price described above. An additional $1.5 million is to be received from these
investors within five days of registering the common shares and warrants. A
registration statement has not yet been filed for these shares. Successful
registration of the shares contemplated under the agreements discussed above
will provide significant amounts of needed capital into the Company. However, a
registration statement has not yet been filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) and there are no assurances that the SEC will declare a
registration statement effective.
Net cash
used in operations was $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The
negative cash flow from operations reflects the $7.9 million net loss for the
year offset by the non-cash charge for common stock issuances of $2.6 million,
depreciation and amortization of $717,000, interest expense added to the
principal balance of the stockholder loan of $238,000, and an increase in
current liabilities of approximately $1.0 million.
Net cash
provided by investing activities was approximately $165,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2004, which reflects the receipt of $200,000 from a common stock
option exercise related to the acquisition of LABS offset by our purchase of
fixed assets of approximately $37,000.
Net cash
provided by financing activities was $3.2 million for the year ended December
31, 2004, which is attributable to stockholder loans of $2.1 million and $1.2
million from common stock Subscription Agreements as described in the preceding
paragraphs.
We are
dependent on raising additional funding necessary to implement our business plan
as outlined above. Should we not be successful in raising cash from the
Affiliated Entities and other investors, we are unlikely to continue as a going
concern.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs.” The
statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 43, “Inventory
Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility
expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material. ARB No. 43 previously
stated that these costs must be “so abnormal as to require treatment as
current-period charges.” SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be
recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the
criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, this statement requires that allocation
of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion be based on the normal
capacity of the production facilities. The statement is effective for inventory
costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, with
earlier application permitted for fiscal years beginning after the issue date of
the statement. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have any
significant impact on our current financial condition or results of operations.
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary
Assets – An Amendment of APB Opinion
No. 29.” APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary
Transactions,” is based on the opinion that exchanges of nonmonetary assets
should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. SFAS
No. 153 amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for
nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a
general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets whose results are not
expected to significantly change the future cash flows of the entity. The
adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have any impact on our current
financial condition or results of operations.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Use of
estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Forward
Looking Statements
This
report contains certain forward-looking statements that are based on current
expectations. In light of the important factors that can materially affect
results, including those set forth above and elsewhere in this report, the
inclusion of forward-looking information herein should not be regarded as a
representation by NNBP or any other person that the objectives or plans of NNBP
will be achieved. NNBP may encounter competitive, technological, financial and
business challenges making it more difficult than expected to continue to market
its products and services; competitive conditions within the industry may change
adversely; NNBP may be unable to retain existing key management personnel;
NNBP's forecasts may not accurately anticipate market demand; and there may be
other material adverse changes in NNBP's operations or business. Certain
important factors affecting the forward looking statements made herein include,
but are not limited to (i) accurately forecasting capital expenditures; (ii)
obtaining new sources of external financing; (iii) serving as the nexus for
research similar and (iv) conducting successful clinical trials supporting Dr.
Kajander’s theories that the human body does not recognize nanobacteria as
harmful, and accordingly, nanobacteria could be the cause of pathological
disease causing calcification found in multiple diseases. Assumptions relating
to budgeting, marketing, product development and other management decisions are
subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to interpretations and periodic
revisions based on actual experience and business developments, the impact of
which may cause NNBP to alter its capital expenditure or other budgets, which
may in turn affect NNBP's financial position and results of operations.

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Loans
from Entity Affiliate with the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer
Since
emerging from bankruptcy in November 2002, Nanobac has financed its activities
primarily from advances from affiliates of the Company’s CEO (“CEO Affiliates”).
As a result of the above advances, the amount due to CEO Affiliates at September
30, 2004 was $7.5 million. On September 30, 2004, this loan was converted into
29,999,964 shares of Nanobac’s common stock.
From
October 1, 2004 through May 4, 2005, an additional $1.9 million has been
advanced to Nanobac to fund current operations. During December 2004, $500,000
of this loan was converted into a subscription agreement as described below. The
remaining balance of approximately $1.4 million remains payable at May 4, 2005.
All loan
amounts contemplated above are net of any periodic cash repayments.
Subscription
Agreement
During
December 2004, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with an entity
affiliated with the Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of the Subscription
Agreement, the entity converted a $500,000 loan to equity. The Company is to
receive additional cash of $500,000 within five days of registering the common
shares and warrants issued as a result of the Subscription Agreements. The
number of common shares to be issued is equal to the amount received divided by
the lesser of $.12 or 52% of the average closing bid price of the Company’s
common stock on the five trading days immediately prior to the date on which the
registration statement is declared effective (“Fixed Price”). In addition, the
Subscription Agreement provided for the issuance of warrants equal to the number
of common shares issued. Fifty percent (50%) of the warrants are exercisable at
110% of the Fixed Price and the remaining 50% of the warrants are exercisable at
150% of the Fixed Price. Unexercised warrants will expire December 31, 2008.
License
Agreement
During
February 2004, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Pegasus
Worldwide, Inc. (“Pegasus”) to market one of the Company's over the counter
products. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is a director of Pegasus. Under
the terms of the license agreement, the Company was due $75 for each unit of
product sold. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company recognized
revenue of $46,800. Effective June 1, 2004, this license agreement was cancelled
and the Company is selling this product directly to customers.
MARKET
FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Our
common stock is traded under the symbol "NNBP".
From
October 12, 1994 through August 18, 1997, the Company's Common Shares were

COMPENSATION
OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Employment
and Compensation Agreement
John
Stanton - Mr.
Stanton does not have an employment or similar agreement with Nanobac. To date,
Mr. Stanton has received no salary or other compensation except for the receipt
of common and preferred shares in accordance with the Company’s bankruptcy plan.
Alexander
Edwards -
Effective
January 26, 2004, Mr. Edwards entered into a three year employment agreement
with Nanobac. The employment agreement expires on the third anniversary of the
effective date, and will renew automatically for additional one year periods
until either Nanobac or Mr. Edwards serves a 90 day notice of non-renewal. The
employment agreement may be terminated by Nanobac for good cause. Good cause is
defined as including: (a) theft, embezzlement or physical destruction with
regard to material property of Nanobac; (b) continued neglect by the employee in
fulfilling his duties as Chief Executive Officer as a result of habitual
alcoholism, drug addiction or unauthorized absenteeism; (c) appropriation of
business opportunities of Nanobac for the direct or personal gain; (d)
conviction or a plea of no contest for a felony or other criminal act for which
the possible penalties include a prison sentence of at least one year; (e) a
material breach of the restrictive covenants contained in the employment
agreement; or (f) default in a material respect of duties or willful and
malicious interference with Nanobac’s operations.
Under the
employment agreement, Mr. Edwards receives a base salary of at least $300,000
during the first year, $325,000 during the second year and $350,000 during the
third year of the employment agreement. The Board of Directors may increase, but
not decrease, base compensation above these amounts. The employment agreement
also provides for annual bonus compensation as annually approved by the Board of
Directors or Compensation Committee. Mr. Edwards is also eligible to receive
stock options exercisable at fair market value on the grant date, in such
amounts and subject to such vesting provisions as determined by the Board of
Directors or Compensation Committee. Mr. Edwards will receive all standard
benefits made available to other executive employees of Nanobac.
In the
event that Nanobac terminates Mr. Edwards's employment without good cause, Mr.
Edwards will receive a severance payment equal to 50% of base salary payable
under the remaining term of the employment agreement. If the termination without
good cause is within three years of a change of control of Nanobac, Mr. Edwards
will receive a severance payment equal to three times base salary payable under
the remaining term of the employment agreement plus an amount equal to any bonus
compensation paid in the previous year. The employment agreement contains a
non-competition covenant and non-solicitation covenants, in respect to customers
and employees of Nanobac, for a period of one year following termination of
employment.
On July
23, 2004, Alexander Edwards resigned as Chief Executive Officer and John Stanton
assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Edwards continues to serve as a
member of the Board of Directors. As a result of his resignation as Chief
Executive Officer, Mr. Edwards voluntarily terminated the above employment
agreement and his salary was adjusted to $23,660 per year for the performance of
limited services to Nanobac.
Directors'
Compensation
Nanobac's
directors, who are not also employees of Nanobac, receive no monetary
compensation. Each director is entitled to receive reimbursement of
out-of-pocket expenses for attending Board of Director or committee meetings.
Each independent Director is to receive 1,500,000 options to purchase of stock
of Nanobac. The issuance of these options is contingent upon the approval of a
stock option plan by Nanobac’s stockholders. If a stock option plan is not
approved, the Directors then receive 1,500,000 shares of Nanobac. During January
2005, 1,500,000 shares were issued to each of Jan Egberts and Stephan
Rechtschaffen as independent directors of Nanobac.
Compensation
of Directors and Executive Officers (continued)
Compensation
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
The
Company has not formed a Compensation Committee, accordingly, the Board of
Directors acts in the Compensation Committee’s capacity. The Board of Directors
is responsible for reviewing and recommending salaries, bonuses and other
compensation for Nanobac's executive officers.
Mr.
Edwards is currently on the Board of Directors and is an employee of the
Company. Mr. Stanton and Mr. Edwards serve on the Board of Directors and have
been awarded stock grants in connection with services performed when the Company
was in bankruptcy in 2001 and 2002.
Stock
Options

currently do not have a stock option plan.

Auditors’ Report
Board of
Directors
Nanobac
Pharmaceuticals, Incorporated and Subsidiaries
Tampa,
Florida
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Nanobac Pharmaceuticals,
Incorporated and Subsidiaries (F/K/A American Enterprise Corporation) (the
“Company”), as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the two years then ended.
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 audit in accordance with standards of the Public Accounting
Oversight Board (United States of America). 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 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 financial statement presentation. 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 consolidated financial position of Nanobac
Pharmaceuticals, Incorporated and Subsidiaries, at December 31, 2004, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the two years
then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
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 has suffered recurring losses from operations, has
working capital and net capital deficiencies and is dependent upon continued
financing from stockholders and outside investors, all of which raise
substantial doubt about its 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.
