Employment Agreements

 

On January 4, 2005, we entered into executive employment agreements with each of H. Craig Dees. Ph.D., Timothy C. Scott, Ph.D., Eric A. Wachter, Ph.D., and Peter R. Culpepper, CPA, to serve as our Chief Executive Officer, President, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. Each agreement provides that such executive will be employed for a one-year term with automatic one-year renewals unless previously terminated pursuant to the terms of the agreement or either party gives notice that the term will not be extended. Each executive’s initial base salary is $200,000 per year and is subject to adjustment by our Board of Directors. Executives are also entitled to participate in any incentive compensation plan or bonus plan adopted by us without diminution of any compensation or payment under the agreement. Executives are further entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred during his performance of services under the agreement.

 

Each agreement generally provides that if the executive’s employment is terminated prior to a change in control (as defined in the agreement) (1) due to expiration or non-extension of the term by us, or (2) by us for any reason other than for cause (as defined in the agreement), then such executive shall be entitled to receive payments under the agreement as if the agreement was still in effect through the end of the period in effect as of the date of such termination. If the executive’s employment (1) is terminated by the company at any time for cause, (2) is terminated by executive prior to, and not coincident with, a change in control or (3) is terminated by executive’s death, disability or retirement prior to a change in control, the executive (or his estate, as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive payments under the agreement through the last date of the month of such termination, a pro rata portion of any incentive or bonus payment earned prior to such termination, any benefits to which he is entitled under the terms and conditions of the pertinent plans in effect at termination and any reasonable expenses incurred during the performance of services under the agreement.

 

In the event that coincident with or following a change in control, the executive’s employment is terminated or the agreement is not extended (1) by action of the executive including his death, disability or retirement or (2) by action of the company not for cause, the executive (or his estate, as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive payments under the agreement through the last date of the month of such termination, a pro rata portion of any incentive or bonus payment earned prior to such termination, any benefits to which he is entitled under the terms and conditions of the pertinent plans in effect at termination and any reasonable expenses incurred during the performance of services under the agreement. In addition, the company shall pay to the executive (or his estate, as the case may be), within 30 days following the date of termination or on the effective date of the change in control (whichever occurs later), a lump sum payment in cash in an amount equal to 2.90 times the base salary paid in the preceding calendar year, or scheduled to be paid to such executive during the year of such termination, whichever is greater, plus an additional amount sufficient to pay United States income tax on the lump sum amount paid.

 

The following table shows the base salary compensation these officers would have received under the employment agreements had a change in control occurred as of December 31, 2006.

BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

Provectus, and its seven wholly owned subsidiaries:

 

·  Xantech Pharmaceuticals, Inc.;

 

·  Pure-ific Corporation;

 

·  Provectus Biotech, Inc.;

 

·  Provectus Devicetech, Inc.;

 

·  Provectus Imaging, Inc.;

 

·  IP Tech, Inc.; and

 

·  Provectus Pharmatech, Inc.

 

(which we refer to as our subsidiaries) develop, license and market and plan to sell products in three sectors of the healthcare industry:

 

·	Over-the-counter products, which we refer to in this report as “OTC products;”

 

·	Prescription drugs; and

 

·	Medical device systems.

 

We manage Provectus and our subsidiaries on an integrated basis and when we refer to “we” or “us” or “the company” in this Prospectus, we refer to all eight corporations considered as a single unit. Our principal executive offices are located at 7327 Oak Ridge Highway, Suite A, Knoxville, Tennessee 37931, telephone (865) 769-4011.

 

Through discovery and use of state-of-the-art scientific and medical technologies, the founders of our pharmaceutical business have developed a portfolio of patented, patentable, and proprietary technologies that support multiple products in the prescription drug, medical device and OTC products categories. These patented technologies are for:

 

·	treatment of cancer;

 

·	novel therapeutic medical devices;

 

·	enhancing contrast in medical imaging;

 

·	improving signal processing during biomedical imaging; and

 

·	enhancing production of biotechnology products.

 

Our prescription drug products encompass the areas of dermatology and oncology and involve several types of small molecule-based drugs. Our medical device systems include therapeutic and cosmetic lasers, while our OTC products address markets primarily involving skincare applications. Because our prescription drug candidates and medical device systems are in the early stages of development, they are not yet on the market and there is no assurance that they will advance to the point of commercialization.

 

30

---

 

Our first commercially available products are directed into the OTC market, as these products pose minimal or no regulatory compliance barriers to market introduction. For example, the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in our ethical products is already approved for other medical uses by the FDA and has a long history of safety for use in humans. This use of known APIs for novel uses and in novel formulations minimizes potential adverse concerns from the FDA, since considerable safety data on the API is available (either in the public domain or via license or other agreements with third parties holding such information). In similar fashion, our OTC products are based on established APIs and, when possible, utilize formulations (such as aerosol or cream formulations) that have an established precedent. (For more information on compliance issues, see “Federal Regulation of Therapeutic Products.” In this fashion, we believe that we can diminish the risk of regulatory bars to the introduction of safe, consumer-friendly products and minimize the time required to begin generating revenues from product sales. At the same time, we continue to develop higher-margin prescription pharmaceuticals and medical devices, which have longer development and regulatory approval cycles.

 

Over-the-Counter Pharmaceuticals

 

Our OTC products are designed to be safer and more specific than competing products. Our technologies offer practical solutions for a number of intractable maladies, using ingredients that have limited or no side effects compared with existing products. To develop our OTC products, we typically use compounds with potent antibacterial and antifungal activity as building blocks and combine these building blocks with anti-inflammatory and moisture-absorbing agents. Products with these properties can be used for treatment of a large number of skin afflictions, including:

 

·	hand irritation associated with use of disposable gloves;

 

·	eczema; and

 

·	mild to moderate acne.

 

Where appropriate, we have filed or will file patent applications and will seek other intellectual property protection to protect our unique formulations for relevant applications.

 

GloveAid

 

Personnel in many occupations and industries now use disposable gloves daily in the performance of their jobs, including:

 

·	Airport security personnel;

 

·	Food handling and preparation personnel;

 

·	Sanitation workers;

 

·	Postal and package delivery handlers and sorters;

 

·	Laboratory researchers;

 

·	Health care workers such as hospital and blood bank personnel; and

 

·	Police, fire and emergency response personnel.

 

31

---

Accompanying the increased use of disposable gloves is a mounting incidence of chronic skin irritation. To address this market, we have developed GloveAid, a hand cream with both antiperspirant and antibacterial properties, to increase the comfort of users’ hands during and after the wearing of disposable gloves. During 2003, we ran a pilot scale run at the manufacturer of GloveAid. We now intend to license this product to a third party with experience in the institutional sales market.

 

Pure-ific

 

Our Pure-ific line of products includes two quick-drying sprays, Pure-ific and Pure-ific Kids, that immediately kill up to 99.9% of germs on skin and prevent regrowth for 6 hours. We have determined the effectiveness of Pure-ific based on our internal testing and testing performed by Paratus Laboratories H.B., an independent research lab. Pure-ific products help prevent the spread of germs and thus complement our other OTC products designed to treat irritated skin or skin conditions such as acne, eczema, dandruff and fungal infections. Our Pure-ific sprays have been designed with convenience in mind and are targeted towards mothers, travelers, and anyone concerned about the spread of sickness-causing germs. During 2003 and 2004, we identified and engaged sales and brokerage forces for Pure-ific. We emphasized getting sales in independent pharmacies and mass (chain store) markets. The supply chain for Pure-ific was established with the ability to support large-scale sales and a starting inventory was manufactured and stored in a contract warehouse/fulfillment center. In addition, a website for Pure-ific was developed with the ability for supporting online sales of the antibacterial hand spray. During 2005 and 2006, most of our sales were generated from customers accessing our website for Pure-ific and making purchases online. We now intend to license the Pure-ific product and sell the underlying assets.

 

Acne

 

A number of dermatological conditions, including acne and other blemishes result from a superficial infection which triggers an overwhelming immune response. We anticipate developing OTC products similar to the GloveAid line for the treatment of mild to moderate cases of acne and other blemishes. Wherever possible, we intend to formulate these products to minimize or avoid significant regulatory bars that might adversely impact time to market.

 

Prescription Drugs

 

We are developing a number of prescription drugs which we expect will provide minimally invasive treatment of chronic severe skin afflictions such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne; and several life-threatening cancers such as those of the liver, breast and prostate. We believe that our products will be safer and more specific than currently existing products. Use of topical or other direct delivery formulations allows these potent products to be conveniently and effectively delivered only to diseased tissues, thereby enhancing both safety and effectiveness. The ease of use and superior performance of these products may eventually lead to extension into OTC applications currently serviced by less safe, more expensive alternatives. All of these products are in the pre-clinical or clinical trial stage.

 

Dermatology

 

Our most advanced prescription drug candidate for treatment of topical diseases on the skin is PH-10, a topical gel. Rose Bengal, the active ingredient in PH-10, is “photoactive” it reacts to light of certain wavelengths, increasing its therapeutic effects. PV-10 also concentrates in diseased or damaged tissue but quickly dissipates from healthy tissue. By developing a “photodynamic” treatment regimen (one which combines a photoactive substance with activation by a source emitting a particular wavelength of light) around these two properties of PV-10, we can deliver a higher therapeutic effect at lower dosages of active ingredient, thus minimizing potential side effects including damage to nearby healthy tissues. PV-10 is especially responsive to green light, which is strongly absorbed by the skin and thus only penetrates the body to a depth of about three to five millimeters. For this reason, we have developed PH-10 combined with green-light activation for topical use in surface applications where serious damage could result if medicinal effects were to occur in deeper tissues.

Acute psoriasis. Psoriasis is a common chronic disorder of the skin characterized by dry scaling patches, called “plaques,” for which current treatments are few and those that are available have potentially serious side effects. According to Roenigk and Maibach (Psoriasis, Third Edition, 1998), there are approximately five million people in the United States who suffer from psoriasis, with an estimated 160,000 to 250,000 new psoriasis cases each year. There is no known cure for the disease at this time. According to the National Psoriasis Foundation, the majority of psoriasis sufferers, those with mild to moderate cases, are treated with topical steroids that can have unpleasant side effects. None of the other treatments for moderate cases of psoriasis have proven completely effective. The 25-30% of psoriasis patients who suffer from more severe cases generally are treated with more intensive drug therapies or PUVA, a light-based therapy that combines the drug Psoralen with exposure to ultraviolet A light. While PUVA is one of the more effective treatments, it increases a patient’s risk of skin cancer.

 

We believe that PH-10 activated with green light offers a superior treatment for acute psoriasis because it selectively treats diseased tissue with negligible potential for side effects in healthy tissue; moreover, the therapy has shown promise in comprehensive Phase 1 clinical trials. The objective of a Phase 1 clinical trial is to determine if there are safety concerns with the therapy. In these studies, involving more than 50 test subjects, PH-10 was applied topically to psoriatic plaques and then illuminated with green light. In our first study, a single-dose treatment yielded an average reduction in plaque thickness of 59% after 30 days, with further response noted at the final follow-up examination 90 days later. Further, no pain, significant side effects, or evidence of “rebound” (increased severity of a psoriatic plaque after the initial reduction in thickness) were observed in any treated areas. This degree of positive therapeutic response is comparable to that achieved with potent steroids and other anti-inflammatory agents, but without the serious side effects associated with such agents. We are continuing the required Food and Drug Administration reporting to support the active Investigational New Drug application for PH-10’s Phase 2 clinical trials on psoriasis. The required reporting includes the publication of results regarding the multiple treatment scenario of the active ingredient in PH-10. We are now conducting Phase 2 studies, in which we expect to assess the potential for remission of the disease using a regimen of weekly treatments similar to those used for PUVA.

 

Actinic Keratosis. According to Schwartz and Stoll (Fitzpatrick’s Dermatology in General Medicine, 1999), actinic keratosis, or “AK” (also called solar keratosis or senile keratosis), is the most common pre-cancerous skin lesion among fair-skinned people and is estimated to occur in over 50% of elderly fair-skinned persons living in sunny climates. These experts note that nearly half of the approximately five million cases of skin cancer in the U.S. may have begun as AK. The standard treatments for AK (primarily comprising excision, cryotherapy, and ablation with topical 5-fluorouracil) are often painful and frequently yield unacceptable cosmetic outcomes due to scarring. Building on our experience with psoriasis, we are assessing the use of PH-10 with green-light activation as a possible improvement in treatment of early and more advanced stages of AK. We completed an initial Phase 1 clinical trial of the therapy for this indication in 2001 with the predecessor company that was acquired in 2002. This study, involving 24 subjects, examined the safety profile of a single treatment using topical PH-10 with green light photoactivation and no significant safety concerns were identified. We have decided to prioritize further clinical development of PH-10 for treatment of psoriasis and eczema rather than AK at this time since the market is much larger for psoriasis and eczema.

 

Severe Acne. According to Berson et al. (Cutis. 72 (2003) 5-13), acne vulgaris affects approximately 17 million individuals in the U.S., causing pain, disfigurement, and social isolation. Moderate to severe forms of the disease have proven responsive to several photodynamic regimens, and we anticipate that PH-10 can be used as an advanced treatment for this disease. Pre-clinical studies show that the active ingredient in PH-10 readily kills bacteria associated with acne. This finding, coupled with our clinical experience in psoriasis and actinic keratosis, suggests that therapy with PH-10 will exhibit no significant side effects and will afford improved performance relative to other therapeutic alternatives. If correct, this would be a major advance over currently available products for severe acne.

As noted above, we are researching multiple uses for PH-10 with green-light activation. Multiple-indication use by a common pool of physicians - dermatologists, in this case - should reduce market resistance to this new therapy.

 

Oncology

 

Oncology is another major market where our planned products may afford competitive advantage compared to currently available options. We are developing PV-10, a sterile injectible form of Rose Bengal, for direct injection into tumors. Because PV-10 is retained in diseased or damaged tissue but quickly dissipates from healthy tissue, we believe we can develop therapies that confine treatment to cancerous tissue and reduce collateral impact on healthy tissue. During 2003 and 2004, we worked toward completion of the extensive scientific and medical materials necessary for filing an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for PV-10 in anticipation of beginning Phase 1 clinical trials for breast and liver cancer. This IND was filed and allowed by the FDA in 2004 setting the stage for two Phase 1 clinical trials; namely, treating metastatic melanoma and recurrent breast carcinoma. We started both of these Phase 1 clinical trials in 2005 and completed the initial Phase 1 objectives for both in 2006.

 

Liver Cancer. The current standard of care for liver cancer is ablative therapy (which seeks to reduce a tumor by poisoning, freezing, heating, or irradiating it) using either a localized injection of ethanol (alcohol), cryosurgery, radiofrequency ablation, or ionizing radiation such as X-rays. Where effective, these therapies have many side effects and selecting therapies with fewer side effects tends to reduce overall effectiveness. Combined, ablative therapies have a five-year survival rate of 33% - meaning that only 33% of those liver cancer patients whose cancers are treated using these therapies survive for five years after their initial diagnoses. In pre-clinical studies we have found that direct injection of PV-10 into liver tumors quickly ablates treated tumors, and can trigger an anti-tumor immune response leading to eradication of residual tumor tissue and distant tumors. Because of the natural regenerative properties of the liver and the highly localized nature of the treatment, this approach appears to produce no significant side effects. Based on these encouraging preclinical results, we are assessing strategies for initiation of clinical trials of PV-10 for treatment of liver cancer.

 

Breast Cancer. Breast cancer afflicts over 200,000 U.S. citizens annually, leading to over 40,000 deaths. Surgical resection, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy comprise the standard treatments for the majority of cases, resulting in serious side effects that in many cases are permanent. Moreover, current treatments are relatively ineffective against metastases, which in many cases are the eventual cause of patient mortality. Pre-clinical studies using human breast tumors implanted in mice have shown that direct injection of PV-10 into these tumors ablates the tumors, and, as in the case of liver tumors, may elicit an anti-tumor immune response that eradicates distant metastases. Since fine-needle biopsy is a routine procedure for diagnosis of breast cancer, and since the needle used to conduct the biopsy also could be used to direct an injection of PV-10 into the tumor, localized destruction of suspected tumors through direct injection of PV-10 clearly has the potential of becoming a primary treatment. We are evaluating options for expanding clinical studies of direct injection of PV-10 into breast tumors while completing expanded Phase 1 clinical studies of our indication for PV-10 in recurrent breast carcinoma.

 

Prostate Cancer. Cancer of the prostate afflicts approximately 190,000 U.S. men annually, leading to over 30,000 deaths. As with breast cancer, surgical resection, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy comprise the standard treatments for the majority of cases, and can result in serious, permanent side effects. We believe that direct injection of PV-10 into prostate tumors may selectively ablate such tumors, and, as in the case of liver and breast tumors, may also elicit an anti-tumor immune response capable of eradicating distant metastases. Since trans-urethral ultrasound, guided fine-needle biopsy and immunotherapy, along with brachytherapy implantation, are becoming routine procedures for diagnosis and treatment of these cancers, we believe that localized destruction of suspected tumors through direct injection of PV-10 can become a primary treatment. We are evaluating options for initiating clinical studies of direct injection of PV-10 into prostate tumors, and expect to formulate final plans based on results from clinical studies of our indications for PV-10 in the treatment of liver and breast cancer.

Metastatic Melanoma. Melanoma is expected to strike 60,000 people in the U.S. this year, leading to 8,100 deaths. The incidence of melanoma in Australia, where our expanded Phase 2 clinical study is currently underway, is up to 5X that of the U.S. There have been no significant advances in the treatment of melanoma for approximately 30 years. We are continuing Phase 2 clinical studies in both Australia and the U.S. of direct injection of PV-10 into melanoma lesions and we completed the expanded Phase 1 clinical studies of our indication for PV-10 in Stage 3 and Stage 4 metastatic melanoma.

 

Medical Devices

 

We have medical device technologies to address two major markets:

 

·	cosmetic treatments, such as reduction of wrinkles and elimination of spider veins and other cosmetic blemishes; and

 

·	therapeutic uses, including photoactivation of PH-10 other prescription drugs and non-surgical destruction of certain skin cancers.

 

We expect to further develop medical devices through partnerships with, or selling our assets to, third-party device manufacturers or, if appropriate opportunities arise, through acquisition of one or more device manufacturers.

 

Photoactivation. Our clinical tests of PH-10 for dermatology have, up to the present, utilized a number of commercially available lasers for activation of the drug. This approach has several advantages, including the leveraging of an extensive base of installed devices present throughout the pool of potential physician-adopters for PH-10.  Access to such a base could play an integral role in early market capture. However, since the use of such lasers, which were designed for occasional use in other types of dermatological treatment, is potentially too cumbersome and costly for routine treatment of the large population of patients with psoriasis, we have begun investigating potential use of other types of photoactivation hardware, such as light booths. The use of such booths is consistent with current care standards in the dermatology field, and may provide a cost-effective means for addressing the needs of patients and physicians alike. We anticipate that such photoactivation hardware would be developed, manufactured, and supported in conjunction with one or more third-party device manufacturer.

 

Melanoma. A high priority in our medical devices field is the development of a laser-based product for treatment of melanoma. We have conducted extensive research on ocular melanoma at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary (a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School) using a new laser treatment that may offer significant advantage over current treatment options. A single quick non-invasive treatment of ocular melanoma tumors in a rabbit model resulted in elimination of over 90% of tumors, and may afford significant advantage over invasive alternatives, such as surgical excision, enucleation, or radiotherapy implantation. Ocular melanoma is rare, with approximately 2,000 new cases annually in the U.S. However, we believe that our extremely successful results could be extrapolated to treatment of primary melanomas of the skin, which have an incidence of over 60,000 new cases annually in the U.S. and a 6% five-year survival rate after metastasis of the tumor. We have performed similar laser treatments on large (averaging approximately 3 millimeters thick) cutaneous melanoma tumors implanted in mice, and have been able to eradicate over 90% of these pigmented skin tumors with a single treatment. Moreover, we have shown that this treatment stimulates an anti-tumor immune response that may lead to improved outcome at both the treatment site and at sites of distant metastasis. From these results, we believe that a device for laser treatment of primary melanomas of the skin and eye is nearly ready for human studies. We anticipate partnering with, or selling our assets to, a medical device manufacturer to bring it to market in reliance on a 510(k) notification. For more information about the 510(k) notification process, see “Federal Regulation of Therapeutic Products.”

Research and Development

 

We continue to actively develop projects that are product directed and are attempting to conserve available capital and achieve full capitalization of our company through equity and convertible debt offerings, generation of product revenues, and other means. All ongoing research and development activities are directed toward maximizing shareholder value and advancing our corporate objectives in conjunction with our OTC product licensure, our current product development and maintaining our intellectual property portfolio.

 

Production

 

We have determined that the most efficient use of our capital in further developing our OTC products is to license the products and sell the underlying assets for upfront cash consideration.

 

Sales

 

Our first commercially available products are directed into the OTC market, as these products pose minimal or no regulatory compliance barriers to market introduction. In this fashion, we believe that we can diminish the risk of regulatory bars to the introduction of products and minimize the time required to begin generating revenues from product sales. At the same time, we continue to develop higher-margin prescription pharmaceuticals and medical devices, which have longer development and regulatory approval cycles.

 

We have commenced limited sales of Pure-ific, our antibacterial hand spray. We sold small amounts of this product during 2004, 2005 and 2006. We will continue to seek additional markets for our products through existing distributorships that market and distribute medical products, ethical pharmaceuticals, and OTC products for the professional and consumer marketplaces through licensure, partnership and asset sale arrangements, and through potential merger and acquisition candidates.

 

In addition to developing and selling products ourselves on a limited basis, we are negotiating actively with a number of potential licensees for several of our intellectual properties, including patents and related technologies. To date, we have not yet entered into any licensing agreements; however, we anticipate consummating one or more such licenses in the future.

 

Intellectual Property

        We continue to pursue patent applications on numerous other developments we believe to be patentable. We consider our issued patents, our pending patent applications and any patentable inventions which we may develop to be extremely valuable assets of our business.

 

Trademarks

 

We own the following trademarks used in this document: GloveAid(TM) and Pure-ific(TM) (including Pure-ific(TM) and Pure-ific(TM) Kids). We also own the registered trademark PulseView®. Trademark rights are perpetual provided that we continue to keep the mark in use. We consider these marks, and the associated name recognition, to be valuable to our business.

 

Material Transfer Agreement

 

We have entered into a Material Transfer Agreement dated as of July 31, 2003 with Schering-Plough Animal Health Corporation, which we refer to as “SPAH”, the animal-health subsidiary of Schering-Plough Corporation, a major international pharmaceutical company. This Material Transfer Agreement is still in effect. We refer to this agreement in this report as the “Material Transfer Agreement.” Under the Material Transfer Agreement, we will provide SPAH with access to some of our patented technologies to permit SPAH to evaluate those technologies for use in animal-health applications. If SPAH determines that it can commercialize our technologies, then the Material Transfer Agreement obligates us and SPAH to enter into a license agreement providing for us to license those technologies to SPAH in exchange for progress payments upon the achievement of goals. The Material Transfer Agreement covers four U.S. patents that cover biological material manufacturing technologies (i.e., biotech related). The Material Transfer Agreement continues indefinitely, unless SPAH terminates it by giving us notice or determines that it does not wish to secure from us a license for our technologies. The Material Transfer Agreement can also be terminated by either of us in the event the other party breaches the agreement and does not cure the breach within 30 days of notice from the other party. We can give you no assurance that SPAH will determine that it can commercialize our technologies or that the goals required for us to obtain progress payments from SPAH will be achieved.

Competition

 

In general, the pharmaceutical industry is intensely competitive, characterized by rapid advances in products and technology. A number of companies have developed and continue to develop products that address the areas we have targeted. Some of these companies are major pharmaceutical companies that are international in scope and very large in size, while others are niche players that may be less familiar but have been successful in one or more areas we are targeting. Existing or future pharmaceutical, device, or other competitors may develop products that accomplish similar functions to our technologies in ways that are less expensive, receive faster regulatory approval, or receive greater market acceptance than our products. Many of our competitors have been in existence for considerably longer than we have, have greater capital resources, broader internal structure for research, development, manufacturing and marketing, and are in many ways further along in their respective product cycles.

 

At present, our most direct competitors are smaller companies that are exploiting niches similar to ours. In the field of photodynamic therapy, one competitor, QLT, Inc., has received FDA approval for use of its agent Photofrin® for treatment of several niche cancer indications, and has a second product, Visudyne®, approved for treatment of certain forms of macular degeneration. Another competitor in this field, Dusa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. received FDA approval of its photodynamic product Levulan® Kerastik® for treatment of actinic keratosis. We believe that QLT and Dusa, among other competitors, have established a working commercial model in dermatology and oncology, and that we can benefit from this model by offering products that, when compared to our competitors’ products, afford superior safety and performance, greatly reduced side effects, improved ease of use, and lower cost, compared to those of our competitors.

 

While it is possible that eventually we may compete directly with major pharmaceutical companies, we believe it is more likely that we will enter into joint development, marketing, or other licensure arrangements with such competitors. Eventually, we believe that we will be acquired.

 

We also have a number of market areas in common with traditional skincare cosmetics companies, but in contrast to these companies, our products are based on unique, proprietary formulations and approaches. For example, we are unaware of any products in our targeted OTC skincare markets that our similar to our Pure-ific products. Further, proprietary protection of our products may help limit or prevent market erosion until our patents expire.

 

Federal Regulation of Therapeutic Products

 

All of the prescription drugs and medical devices we currently contemplate developing will require approval by the FDA prior to sales within the United States and by comparable foreign agencies prior to sales outside the United States. The FDA and comparable regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements on the manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical products and medical devices. These agencies and other entities extensively regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing, manufacturing, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, advertising and promotion of our proposed products. While we attempt to minimize and avoid significant regulatory bars when formulating our products, some degree of regulation from these regulatory agencies is unavoidable. Some of the things we do to attempt to minimize and avoid significant regulatory bars include the following:

 

·	Using chemicals and combinations already allowed by the FDA;

 

·	Carefully making product performance claims to avoid the need for regulatory approval;

 

·	Using drugs that have been previously approved by the FDA and that have a long history of safe use;

 

 

37

---

 

·	Using chemical compounds with known safety profiles; and

 

·	In many cases, developing OTC products which face less regulation than prescription pharmaceutical products.

 

The regulatory process required by the FDA, through which our drug or device products must pass successfully before they may be marketed in the U.S., generally involves the following:

 

·	Preclinical laboratory and animal testing;

 

·	Submission of an application that must become effective before clinical trials may begin;

 

·	Adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials to establish the safety and efficacy of the product for its intended indication; and

 

·	FDA approval of the application to market a given product for a given indication.

 

For pharmaceutical products, preclinical tests include laboratory evaluation of the product, its chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as animal studies to assess the potential safety and efficacy of the product. Where appropriate (for example, for human disease indications for which there exist inadequate animal models), we will attempt to obtain preliminary data concerning safety and efficacy of proposed products using carefully designed human pilot studies. We will require sponsored work to be conducted in compliance with pertinent local and international regulatory requirements, including those providing for Institutional Review Board approval, national governing agency approval and patient informed consent, using protocols consistent with ethical principles stated in the Declaration of Helsinki and other internationally recognized standards. We expect any pilot studies to be conducted outside the United States; but if any are conducted in the United States, they will comply with applicable FDA regulations. Data obtained through pilot studies will allow us to make more informed decisions concerning possible expansion into traditional FDA-regulated clinical trials.

 

If the FDA is satisfied with the results and data from preclinical tests, it will authorize human clinical trials. Human clinical trials typically are conducted in three sequential phases which may overlap. Each of the three phases involves testing and study of specific aspects of the effects of the pharmaceutical on human subjects, including testing for safety, dosage tolerance, side effects, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and clinical efficacy.

 

Phase 1 clinical trials include the initial introduction of an investigational new drug into humans. These studies are closely monitored and may be conducted in patients, but are usually conducted in healthy volunteer subjects. These studies are designed to determine the metabolic and pharmacologic actions of the drug in humans, the side effects associated with increasing doses, and, if possible, to gain early evidence on effectiveness. While the FDA can cause us to end clinical trials at any phase due to safety concerns, Phase 1 clinical trials are primarily concerned with safety issues. We also attempt to obtain sufficient information about the drug’s pharmacokinetics and pharmacological effects during Phase 1 clinical trial to permit the design of well-controlled, scientifically valid, Phase 2 studies.

 

Phase 1 studies also evaluate drug metabolism, structure-activity relationships, and the mechanism of action in humans. These studies also determine which investigational drugs are used as research tools to explore biological phenomena or disease processes. The total number of subjects included in Phase 1 studies varies with the drug, but is generally in the range of twenty to eighty.

 

Phase 2 clinical trials include the early controlled clinical studies conducted to obtain some preliminary data on the effectiveness of the drug for a particular indication or indications in patients with the disease or condition. This phase of testing also helps determine the common short-term side effects and risks associated with the drug. Phase 2 studies are typically well-controlled, closely monitored, and conducted in a relatively small number of patients, usually involving several hundred people.

 

38

---

Phase 3 studies are expanded controlled and uncontrolled trials. They are performed after preliminary evidence suggesting effectiveness of the drug has been obtained in Phase 2, and are intended to gather the additional information about effectiveness and safety that is needed to evaluate the overall benefit-risk relationship of the drug. Phase 3 studies also provide an adequate basis for extrapolating the results to the general population and transmitting that information in the physician labeling. Phase 3 studies usually include several hundred to several thousand people.

 

Applicable medical devices can be cleared for commercial distribution through a notification to the FDA under Section 510(k) of the applicable statute. The 510(k) notification must demonstrate to the FDA that the device is as safe and effective and substantially equivalent to a legally marketed or classified device that is currently in interstate commerce. Such devices may not require detailed testing. Certain high-risk devices that sustain human life, are of substantial importance in preventing impairment of human health, or that present a potential unreasonable risk of illness or injury, are subject to a more comprehensive FDA approval process initiated by filing a premarket approval, also known as a “PMA,” application (for devices) or accelerated approval (for drugs).

 

We have established a core clinical development team and have been working with outside FDA consultants to assist us in developing product-specific development and approval strategies, preparing the required submittals, guiding us through the regulatory process, and providing input to the design and site selection of human clinical studies. Historically, obtaining FDA approval for photodynamic therapies has been a challenge. Wherever possible, we intend to utilize lasers or other activating systems that have been previously approved by the FDA to mitigate the risk that our therapies will not be approved by the FDA. The FDA has considerable experience with lasers by virtue of having reviewed and acted upon many 510(k) and premarket approval filings submitted to it for various photodynamic and non-photodynamic therapy laser applications, including a large number of cosmetic laser treatment systems used by dermatologists.

 

The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort, and financial resources, and we may not obtain FDA approval on a timely basis, if at all. Success in preclinical or early-stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinical trials. The FDA or the research institution sponsoring the trials may suspend clinical trials or may not permit trials to advance from one phase to another at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the subjects or patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw a product approval if we do not comply with pertinent regulatory requirements and standards or if problems occur after the product reaches the market. If the FDA grants approval of a product, the approval may impose limitations, including limits on the indicated uses for which we may market a product. In addition, the FDA may require additional testing and surveillance programs to monitor the safety and/or effectiveness of approved products that have been commercialized, and the agency has the power to prevent or limit further marketing of a product based on the results of these post-marketing programs. Further, later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product may result in restrictions on the product, including its withdrawal from the market.

 

Marketing our products abroad will require similar regulatory approvals by equivalent national authorities and is subject to similar risks. To expedite development, we may pursue some or all of our initial clinical testing and approval activities outside the United States, and in particular in those nations where our products may have substantial medical and commercial relevance. In some such cases any resulting products may be brought to the U.S. after substantial offshore experience is gained. Accordingly, we intend to pursue any such development in a manner consistent with U.S. standards so that the resultant development data is maximally applicable for potential FDA approval.

 

OTC products are subject to regulation by the FDA and similar regulatory agencies but the regulations relating to these products are much less stringent than those relating to prescription drugs and medical devices. The types of OTC products developed and sold by us only require that we follow cosmetic rules relating to labeling and the claims that we make about our product. The process for obtaining approval of prescription drugs with the FDA does not apply to the OTC products which we sell. The FDA can, however, require us to stop selling our product if we fail to comply with the rules applicable to our OTC products.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to our results of operations and our financial condition together with our consolidated subsidiaries. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the statement of operations, including trends which might appear, are not necessarily indicative of future operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Patent Costs

 

Internal patent costs are expensed in the period incurred. Patents purchased are capitalized and amortized over the remaining life of the patent. The patents are being amortized over the remaining lives of the patents, which range from 11-15 years. Annual amortization of the patents is expected to be approximately $671,000 per year for the next five years.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

We review the carrying values of our long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever an event or change in circumstances indicates that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.  Any long-lived assets held for disposal are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair value less cost to sell.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment (FASB 123R), effective January 1, 2006 under the modified prospective method, which recognizes compensation cost beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of FASB 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date and (b) based on the requirements of FASB 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of FASB 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. There was no cumulative effect of our initially applying this Statement. At September 30, 2007 we have estimated that an additional $603,374 will be expensed over the applicable remaining vesting periods for all share-based payments granted to employees on or before December 31, 2005 which remained unvested on January 1, 2006.

 

The compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued and is expensed on a straight-line basis. For purposes of estimating the fair value of each stock option or restricted stock unit on the date of grant, we utilized the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected volatility factor of the market price of the company’s common stock (as determined by reviewing its historical public market closing prices). Because our employee stock options and restricted stock units have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options or restricted stock units.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2005 we adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (SFAS No. 123). If we had elected to recognize compensation expense based on the fair value at the grant dates, consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net loss per share would have been changed.

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred. An allocation of payroll expenses was made based on a percentage estimate of time spent. The research and development costs include the following: consulting - IT, depreciation, lab equipment repair, lab supplies and pharmaceutical preparations, insurance, legal - patents, office supplies, payroll expenses, rental - building, repairs, software, taxes and fees, and utilities.

 

Contractual Obligations - Leases

 

We lease office and laboratory space in Knoxville, Tennessee, on an annual basis, renewable for one year at our option. We are committed to pay a total of $12,480 in lease payments over three months, which is the remainder of our current lease term at December 31, 2006.

 

Capital Structure

 

Our ability to continue as a going concern is assured due to our financing completed during 2006. At the current rate of expenditures, we will not need to raise additional capital until late 2008, although our existing funds are sufficient to meet anticipated needs throughout 2008 and into 2009.

 

We have implemented our integrated business plan, including execution of the current and next phases in clinical development of our pharmaceutical products and continued execution of research programs for new research initiatives.

 

We intend to proceed as rapidly as possible with the asset sale and licensure of our OTC products that can be sold with a minimum of regulatory compliance and with the further development of revenue sources through licensing of our existing medical device and biotech intellectual property portfolio. Although we believe that there is a reasonable basis for our expectation that we will become profitable due to the asset sale and licensure of our OTC products, we cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve, or maintain, a level of profitability sufficient to meet our operating expenses.

 

Our current plans include continuing to operate with our four employees during the immediate future, but we have added additional consultants and anticipate adding more consultants in the next 12 months. Our current plans also include minimal purchases of new property, plant and equipment, and increased research and development for additional clinical trials.

Plan of Operation

 

With the reorganization of Provectus and PPI and the acquisition and integration into the Company of Valley and Pure-ific, we believe we have obtained a unique combination of OTC products and core intellectual properties. This combination represents the foundation for an operating company that we believe will provide both profitability and long-term growth.  In 2007, we have and will continue to carefully control expenditures in preparation for the asset sale and licensure or spin out of our OTC products, medical device and biotech technologies, and we will issue equity only when it makes sense and primarily for purposes of attracting strategic investors.

 

In the short term, we intend to develop our business by selling the OTC assets and licensing our existing OTC products, principally Pure-Stick, GloveAid and  Pure-ific.  We are also now considering a spin out of the wholly-owned subsidiary that contains the OTC assets.  We will also sell and/or license our medical device and biotech technologies.  In the longer term, we expect to continue the process of developing, testing and obtaining the approval of the U. S. Food and Drug Administration for prescription drugs in particular.  Additionally, we have restarted our research programs that will identify additional conditions that our intellectual properties may be used to treat as well as additional treatments for those and other conditions.

 

We have continued to make significant progress with the major research and development projects expected to be ongoing in the next 12 months.  Our expanded Phase 1 metastatic melanoma clinical trial and the second group of our expanded Phase 1 breast carcinoma clinical trial was completed in April 2007 for approximately $1,000,000 in the aggregate, most of which has been expended in 2005 and 2006.  The planning phase for the expected Phase 2 trial in metastatic melanoma has been completed which will cost approximately $3,000,000 through 2008.  This includes expenditures in 2007 to significantly advance the Phase 2 trial in metastatic melanoma that commenced in August 2007 and which may provide pivotal efficacy.  Additionally, we plan on $1,000,000 of expenditures in 2007 and 2008 to substantially advance our work with other oncology indications which includes the initiation of the third group of our expanded Phase 1 breast carcinoma clinical trial.  Our Phase 2 psoriasis trial commenced in November 2007 and will cost approximately $1,500,000 over 12 months.  Our Phase 1 & 2 liver cancer trial is expected to cost approximately $500,000 in total and is expected to commence in late 2007 or early 2008.

 

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

 

Revenues

 

OTC Product Revenue decreased by $4,184 in 2006 to $1,368 from $5,552 in 2005. The decrease in OTC Product Revenue resulted from lower online sales. We have discontinued our proof of concept program in November 2006 and have, therefore, ceased selling our OTC products. Medical Device Revenue decreased by $984 in 2006 to $-0- from $984 in 2005. The decrease in Medical Device Revenue resulted due to no emphasis on selling in 2006 versus the sales of three devices in 2005.

 

Research and development

 

Research and development costs totaling $3,016,361 for 2006 included depreciation expense of $4,442, consulting and contract labor of $481,400, lab supplies and pharmaceutical preparations of $259,198, insurance of $43,361, legal of $202,044, payroll of $1,969,474, and rent and utilities of $56,442. Research and development costs totaling $2,044,391 for 2005 included depreciation expense of $1,708, consulting and contract labor of $805,915, lab supplies and pharmaceutical preparations of $111,504, insurance of $120,493, legal of $208,368, payroll of $747,197, and rent and utilities of $49,206. The decrease in consulting is the result of the absence of start-up related consulting costs for the beginning of the clinical trial program. The increase in lab supplies and pharmaceutical preparations is primarily the result of materials necessary to prepare for additional clinical trials expected to commence in early 2007. The increase in payroll is the result of raises and primarily the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123(R).

General and administrative

 

General and administrative expenses increased by $535,263 in 2006 to $3,534,597 from $2,999,334 in 2005. The increase resulted primarily from higher payroll expenses for general corporate purposes due to raises totaling $311,346 and primarily as a result of the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) totaling $912,040, offset by lower consulting expenses and other expenses totaling $688,123.

 

Comparison of Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006

Revenues

OTC Product Revenue decreased by $274 in the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $-0- from $274 in the three months ended September 30, 2006.  OTC Product Revenue decreased by $1,354 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $-0- from $1,354 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006.  We have discontinued our proof of concept program in November 2006 and have therefore ceased selling our OTC products.

Research and development

Research and development costs of $1,079,345 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 included depreciation expense of $2,314, consulting and contract labor of $157,128, lab supplies and pharmaceutical preparations of $10,773, insurance of $55,066, legal of $99,628, payroll of $738,504, and rent and utilities of $15,932.  Research and development costs of $966,558 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 included depreciation expense of $1,079, consulting and contract labor of $186,215, lab supplies and pharmaceutical preparations of $106,938, insurance of $7,500, legal of $62,995, payroll of $588,202, and rent and utilities of $13,629.  The increase in payroll is the result of raises and bonuses.

Research and development costs of $3,231,930 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 included depreciation expense of $6,942, consulting and contract labor of $461,621, lab supplies and pharmaceutical preparations of $109,784, insurance of $98,722, legal of $243,383, payroll of $2,264,488, and rent and utilities of $46,990.  Research and  development  costs  comprising  the total of $2,231,773 for the nine months ending September 30, 2006 included  depreciation  expense of  $3,023,  consulting  and contract labor of  $325,068, lab supplies and pharmaceutical preparations of $249,105, insurance  of $33,909, legal of $160,767, payroll of $1,418,824, and rent and utilities of $41,077.  The increase in consulting and contract labor is primarily the result of expense necessary to prepare for advanced clinical trials in final preparations to commence in 2007.  The increase in payroll is the result of bonuses, pension expense, raises, and the impact of stock option expense for stock options issued at the end of June 2006 which vest over a three-year period.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses increased by $637,289 in the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $1,541,364 from $904,075 for the three months ended September 30, 2006.  Approximately $200,000 of the increase resulted from higher payroll expenses for general corporate purposes as a result of raises and bonuses net of a decrease in stock option expense.  Additionally, consulting expense increased $280,000 due to higher investor and public relations expense as well as financial and other consulting expense, and legal expense increased $90,000 due to non-core spinout preparation.

General and administrative expenses increased by $1,456,178 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $3,907,372 from $2,451,194 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.  Approximately $940,000 of the increase resulted from higher payroll expenses for general corporate purposes as a result of bonuses, pension expense, raises and the impact of stock option expense for stock options issued at the end of June 2006 which vest over a three-year period.  Additionally, consulting expense increased $582,000 due to higher external accounting expense, Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 implementation expense, financial, investor and public relations expense, and legal expenses for non-core spinout preparation.

Cash Flow

 

As of September 30, 2007, we held approximately $7,600,000 in cash and short-term United States Treasury Notes.  At our current cash expenditure rate, this amount will be sufficient to meet our current and planned needs in 2007 and 2008. We have been increasing our expenditure rate by accelerating some of our research programs for new research initiatives; in addition, we are seeking to improve our cash flow through the asset sale and licensure of our OTC products as well as other non-core assets.  However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in selling the OTC and other non-core assets and licensing our existing OTC products.  Moreover, even if we are successful in improving our current cash flow position, we nonetheless plan to require additional funds to meet our long-term needs in 2009 and beyond.  We anticipate these funds will come from the proceeds of private placements, the exercise of existing warrants outstanding, or public offerings of debt or equity securities.

Capital Resources

 

As noted above, our present cash flow is currently sufficient to meet our short-term operating needs.  Excess cash will be used to finance the current and next phases in clinical development of our pharmaceutical products.  We anticipate that any required funds for our operating and development needs beyond 2008 will come from the proceeds of private placements, the exercise of existing warrants outstanding, or public offerings of debt or equity securities.  While we believe that we have a reasonable basis for our expectation that we will be able to raise additional funds, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete additional financing in a timely manner.  In addition, any such financing may result in significant dilution to shareholders. For further information on funding sources, please see the notes to our financial statements included in this report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” to simplify accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS No. 156 permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for measuring each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities after they have been initially measured at fair value. SFAS No. 156 applies to all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. SFAS No. 156 will be effective for the Company as of January 1, 2007, the beginning of the Company’s fiscal-2007 year.  The adoption of SFAS No. 156 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN No. 48 clarifies what criteria must be met prior to recognition of the financial statement benefit of a position taken in a tax return. FIN No. 48 will require companies to include additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures within their financial statements. The disclosures will include potential tax benefits from positions taken for tax return purposes that have not been recognized for financial reporting purposes and a tabular presentation of significant changes during each period. The disclosures will also include a discussion of the nature of uncertainties, factors that could cause a change, and an estimated range of reasonable possible changes in tax uncertainties, FIN No. 48 will also require a company to recognize a financial statement benefit for a position taken for tax return purposes when it will be more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained. FIN No. 48 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We adopted FIN No. 48 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, effective as of December 31, 2006, the beginning of the company’s 2007 fiscal year.  The adoption of FIN No. 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The FASB released SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for the Company as of December 30, 2007, the beginning of the Company’s fiscal-2008 year. We are assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Postretirement Plans: an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R),” which requires an employer to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a single-employer defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to initially apply the requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year ending after December 16, 2006. In addition, SFAS No. 158 also requires an employer to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations as the Company does not have a defined benefit plan.

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities--Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” We are assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Board of Directors

Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

 We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a development-stage company, as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period from January 17, 2002 (inception) to December 31, 2006 and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from January 17, 2002 (inception) to December 31, 2006 and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

As disclosed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share Based Payment.”

PROVECTUS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

(A Development-Stage Company)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.           Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

 

Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a development-stage biopharmaceutical company that is focusing on developing minimally invasive products for the treatment of psoriasis and other topical diseases, and certain forms of cancer including recurrent breast carcinoma, metastatic melanoma, and liver cancer. The Company intends to license its laser device and biotech technology. Through a previous acquisition, the Company also intends to further develop, if necessary, and license or sell the underlying assets of its over-the-counter pharmaceuticals. To date the Company has no material revenues.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

United States Treasury Notes

 

United States Treasury Notes are classified as held-to-maturity securities and all investments mature within one year. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost which approximates market.

 

Deferred Loan Costs and Debt Discounts

 

The costs related to the issuance of the convertible debt, including lender fees, legal fees, due diligence costs, escrow agent fees and commissions, have been recorded as deferred loan costs and are being amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. Additionally, the Company recorded debt discounts related to warrants and beneficial conversion features issued in connection with the debt. Debt discounts are being amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.

 

Equipment and Furnishings

 

Equipment and furnishings acquired through the acquisition of Valley Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Note 2) have been stated at carry over basis. Other equipment and furnishings are stated at cost. Depreciation of equipment is provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Computers and laboratory equipment are being depreciated over five years, furniture and fixtures are being depreciated over seven years.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever an event or change in circumstances indicates that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Any long-lived assets held for disposal are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair value less cost to sell.

 

F-8

---

Patent Costs

 

Internal patent costs are expensed in the period incurred. Patents purchased are capitalized and amortized over the remaining life of the patent.

 

Patents at December 31, 2006 were acquired as a result of the merger with Valley Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Valley”) (Note 2). The majority shareholders of Provectus also owned all of the shares of Valley and therefore the assets acquired from Valley were recorded at their carryover basis. The patents are being amortized over the remaining lives of the patents, which range from 11-15 years. Annual amortization of the patents is expected to be approximately $671,000 per year for the next five years.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when product is shipped. When advance payments are received, these payments are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized when the product is shipped.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred. An allocation of payroll expenses was made based on a percentage estimate of time spent. The research and development costs include the following: consulting - IT, depreciation, lab equipment repair, lab supplies and pharmaceutical preparations, insurance, legal - patents, office supplies, payroll expenses, rental - building, repairs, software, taxes and fees, and utilities.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (“SFAS No. 109”), “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all, or some portion, of deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred income tax assets to zero. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize some or all its deferred income tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred income tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic and diluted loss per common share and diluted loss per common share is computed based on the weighted Per Common Share average number of common shares outstanding. Loss per share excludes the impact of outstanding options, warrants, and convertible debt as they are antidilutive. Potential common shares excluded from the calculation at December 31, 2006 are 9,014,714 options 26,663,081 warrants and 490,000 shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt. Included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding are 165,000 common shares committed to be issued but not outstanding at December 31, 2006.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these amounts. The Company believes the fair value of its fixed-rate borrowings approximates the market value.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment, (“FASB 123R”).” These changes in accounting replace existing requirements under FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FASB 123”), and eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transaction using APB Opinion No.25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). The compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. This Statement did not change the accounting for similar transactions involving parties other than employees.

 

The Company adopted FASB 123R effective January 1, 2006 under the modified prospective method, which recognizes compensation cost beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of FASB 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date and (b) based on the requirements of FASB 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of FASB 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. There was no cumulative effect of initially applying this Statement for the Company. At December 31, 2006 the Company has estimated that an additional $1,211,371 will be expensed over the applicable remaining vesting periods for all share-based payments granted to employees on or before December 31, 2005 which remained unvested on January 1, 2006.

 

F-9

---

The compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued and will be expensed on a straight-line basis. For purposes of estimating the fair value of each stock option or restricted stock unit on the date of grant, the Company utilized the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected volatility factor of the market price of the company’s common stock (as determined by reviewing its historical public market closing prices). Because the Company's employee stock options and restricted stock units have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options or restricted stock units.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2005 the Company adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (SFAS No. 123). If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based on the fair value at the grant dates, consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net loss per share would have been changed to the pro forma amount indicated below:

 

		Year ended December 31, 2005
Net loss, as reported		$	(11,763,853	)
Add stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported loss			15,752
Less total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under the fair value based method for all awards			(791,111	)
Pro forma net loss		$	(12,539,212	)
Basic and diluted loss per common share, as reported		$	(0.62	)
Basic and diluted loss per common share, pro forma		$	(0.67	)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method. See Notes 1 and 5 for information regarding stock-based compensation.

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” to simplify accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS No. 156 permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for measuring each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities after they have been initially measured at fair value. SFAS No. 156 applies to all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. SFAS No. 156 will be effective for the Company as of December 31, 2006, the beginning of the Company’s fiscal-2007 year. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 156 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN No. 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN No. 48 clarifies what criteria must be met prior to recognition of the financial statement benefit of a position taken in a tax return. FIN No. 48 will require companies to include additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures within their financial statements. The disclosures will include potential tax benefits from positions taken for tax return purposes that have not been recognized for financial reporting purposes and a tabular presentation of significant changes during each period. The disclosures will also include a discussion of the nature of uncertainties, factors which could cause a change, and an estimated range of reasonably possible changes in tax uncertainties. FIN No. 48 will also require a company to recognize a financial statement benefit for a position taken for tax return purposes when it will be more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained.FIN No. 48 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We will adopt FIN No. 48 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, effective as of December 31, 2006, the beginning of the Company’s 2007 fiscal year. We do not believe the adoption of FIN No. 48 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The FASB released SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for the Company as of December 30, 2007, the beginning of the Company’s fiscal-2008 year. We are assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Postretirement Plans: an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R),” which requires an employer to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a single-employer defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to initially apply the requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year ending after December 16, 2006. In addition, SFAS No. 158 also requires an employer to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations as the Company does not have a defined benefit plan.

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” We are assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

2.           Recapitalization and Merger

 

On April 23, 2002, Provectus Pharmaceutical, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a Merger “blank check” public company, acquired Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a privately held Tennessee corporation (“PPI”), by issuing 6,680,000 shares of common stock of Provectus Pharmaceutical to the stockholders of PPI in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of PPI, as a result of which Provectus Pharmaceutical changed its name to Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) and PPI became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Prior to the transaction, PPI had no significant operations and had not generated any revenues.

 

For financial reporting purposes, the transaction has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements as a recapitalization of PPI and the financial statements reflect the historical financial information of PPI which was incorporated on January 17, 2002. Therefore, for accounting purposes, the shares recorded as issued in the reverse merger are the 265,763 shares owned by Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. shareholders prior to the reverse merger.

 

The issuance of 6,680,000 shares of common stock of Provectus Pharmaceutical, Inc. to the stockholders of PPI in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of PPI was done in anticipation of PPI acquiring Valley Pharmaceuticals, Inc, which owned the intellectual property to be used in the Company's operations.

 

On November 19, 2002, the Company acquired Valley Pharmaceuticals, Inc, (“Valley”) a privately-held Tennessee corporation by merging PPI with and into Valley and naming the surviving company Xantech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Valley had no significant operations and had not generated any revenues. Valley was formed to hold certain intangible assets which were transferred from an entity which was majority owned by the shareholders of Valley. Those shareholders gave up their shares of the other company in exchange for the intangible assets in a non-pro rata split off. The intangible assets were valued based on the market price of the stock given up in the split-off. The shareholders of Valley also owned the majority of the shares of the Company at the time of the transaction. The Company issued 500,007 shares of stock in exchange for the net assets of Valley which were valued at $12,226,320 and included patents of $11,715,445 and equipment and furnishings of $510,875.

The assets of Pure-ific were acquired through the issuance of 25,000 shares of the Company's stock with a fair market value of $0.50 and the issuance of various warrants. These warrants included warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company's stock at an exercise price of $0.50 issuable on the first, second and third anniversary dates of the acquisition.
