PART I





ITEM 1.  BUSINESS





Overview





We were incorporated on April 25, 2006 pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada. Our principal executive offices are located at 409 Granville Street, Suite 1023, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 1T2.  Our telephone number is (604) 324-4844 and our website is www.globalhealth3000.com.  The information contained on our website does not form part of this annual report.





We are a development stage specialty pharmaceutical company engaged in developingproprietary platform technology that delivers drugs via the sublingual (under the tongue) route.  We are also developing oral formulations of drugs which are intended to cause fewer stomach side effects than formulations of such drugs previously marketed by other pharmaceutical companies.





As at May 31, 2011, we had had not generated any revenues, had achieved losses since inception and had been issued a going concern opinion by our auditors.  Since our inception, we have relied upon the sale of our securities or loans to fund our operations.





Development of Business





We were incorporated on April 25, 2006, under the name “Acting Scout Inc.”, pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada.





On September 10, 2007, we filed Articles of Amendment to decrease our authorized capital from 80,000,000 shares of common stock to 14,000,000 shares of common stock.





On September 20, 2007, we changed our name to “Goldtown Investments Corp.” to better reflect our new business model.  In addition, on September 20, 2007, we filed a Certificate of Change to increase our issued and outstanding, and our authorized, capital on a basis of fourteen (14) new shares of common stock for every one (1) existing share, from 11,023,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock to 154,322,000 issued and outstanding shares, and from 14,000,000 authorized shares of common stock to 196,000,000 authorized shares.





On October 2, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Blair Law, our sole director and officer at the time, pursuant to which Mr. Law agreed to cancel 93,800,000 shares of our common stock which were held by him.





On September 29, 2008, Mr. Law resigned as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer, and we appointed Dr. Hassan Salari to fill the resulting vacancies.





On October 6, 2008, we changed our name from “Goldtown Investments Corp.” to “Global Health Ventures Inc.” as a result of a merger with Global Health Ventures Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary that was incorporated solely to effect the name change.  Our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board and OTCQB under the symbol GHLV.





On March 15, 2009, we entered into a research contract with Globe Laboratories Inc. (“Globe Labs”), a company controlled by two individuals related to Dr. Salari, to engage Globe to conduct research on the sublingual technologies developed by Globe.





On May 14, 2009, we appointed Dr. David Filer and Christian Bezy to our Board of Directors.  Also on May 14, 2009, we appointed Audrey Lew as our Chief Financial Officer and Dr. Salari resigned from this position.





On December 11, 2009, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Posh Cosmeceuticals Inc. (“Posh”) in consideration for 4,000,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to a share exchange agreement with the shareholders of Posh.  Posh owns technologies for dermal drug delivery, in particular for the growth of hair follicles and treatment of cellulite.  These products are in the research stage.





On March 15, 2010, we entered into a license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Globe for the exclusive use of Globe’s sublingual technology for our products.  Under the License Agreement, we agreed to pay $50,000 per quarter to Globe from April 1, 2009 until the technology is put into commercial production, or the technologies are sold or sublicensed.





On June 15, 2011, we filed a Certificate of Designation to designate 10,000,000 shares of our authorized but unissued preferred stock as Series “A” Preferred Stock, and we entered into a debt conversion agreement with Dr. Salari pursuant to which he converted $54,000 worth of debt into 1,800,000 shares of our Series “A” Preferred Stock at a price of $0.03 per share.





On June 16, 2011, the holders of a majority of our issued and outstanding stock approved an amendment to our bylaws and an increase in our authorized capital from 196,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001.

Our Business





We are a specialty pharmaceutical company that develops advanced next-generation drugs to displace current “blockbuster” drugs upon their loss of patent protection.  Our core strength is our exclusive access to sublingual platform technology.  This technology provides the foundation to design unique pharmaceuticals with properties that result in a market advantage through faster onset of action, increased availability, lower dosage, improved safety, fewer or less severe side effects, reduced dosing regiments, safer systems, taste masking and others. We believe these advantages will enable our products to establish themselves quickly in the market by displacing existing products in a relatively short period of time.  Our lifestyle products are related to male sexual enhancement, anti-addiction and energy boosters.  Our therapeutic products are related to weight loss and pulmonary disease management.  We work with products that are already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), but require better or faster absorption.





We also plan to reformulate existing products that currently have considerable side effects when manufactured with their current chemical formulation.  We intend to develop these new products internally or license them from other pharmaceutical companies.  We expect to have several products under development and we plan to bring them to the stages of partnership and co-marketing. Our most advanced product, X-Excite, has been contracted out to a manufacturing company in Romania to produce exclusively for the European market.  This product has been manufactured and sent to a hospital in Bulgaria for human clinical trials.  The clinical trials are supervised by Clinical Investigation Limited, a contract research organization incorporated in the United Kingdom.





Our Advantage





Over 85% of pharmaceutical drugs are administered in oral solid dosage form (i.e. tablets, caplets or capsules).  These dosage forms are hampered by the amount that can be administered in one unit.  Most quantities of drugs typically do not fully absorb and reach the blood stream because they are discharged through feces.  Consequently, the dosage form has to be increased in order for a sufficient quantity to reach the blood stream.  The oral tablet likely becomes unpractical when the dosage reaches 500 mg due to its amount and size, and our licensing agreement provides exclusive access to sublingual technologies which enable us to overcome typical limitations and create new, unique and better-performing branded specialty pharmaceutical products.  Because the sublingual form generates a higher degree of drug absorption in the blood, formulations can be made smaller and with lower doses, yet the degree of efficacy may remain similar to larger formulations administered orally.





Products





We are a multi-product company. Our current portfolio of products includes:





1.
X-Excite (male sexual enhancement drug)





2.
Relax-B (anti-stress drug)





3.
Nico-Z (nicotine replacement product)





4.
V-Energy (energy booster product)





5.
T-Slim (appetite suppressor drug)





6.
POS001 (growth of hair follicles product)





7.
POS002 (treatment of cellulite product)

X-Excite





X-Excite is a development stage sublingual formulation of sildenafil.  Sildenafil is registered under the trade name of Viagra® and is currently marketed by Pfizer under patent protection until 2012/2013 (depending on the jurisdiction).  Viagra®(sildenafil citrate) is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, which is the inability to achieve or maintain a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance.





Pharmacodynamic of Sildenafil





After patients have taken Viagra®, it is unknown when nitrates, if necessary, can be safely administered.  Plasma levels of sildenafil at 24 hours post-dose are much lower (2 ng/ml) than at peak concentration (440 ng/ml).  In patients older than 65, hepatic impairment (e.g. cirrhosis), severe renal impairment (e.g. CLcr <30ml/min), concomitant use of potent cytochrome P-450 3A inhibitors (erythromycin) and plasma levels of sildenafil at 24 hours post-dose have been found to be three to eight times higher than those seen in younger, healthy patients.  Although plasma levels of sildenafil at 24 hours post-dose are much lower than at peak concentration (i.e. 2 hours), it is unknown whether nitrates can be safely co-administered at this point.  According to the study reported by Pfizer, some of the major side effects of orally administered dosages are documented in the clinical trials report.





Sildenafil Clinical Trial Adverse Drug Reactions





Clinical trials are conducted under very specific conditions.  The adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials may not reflect the rates observed in practice and should not be compared to the rates in the clinical trials of another drug.  Adverse drug reaction information from clinical trials is useful for identifying drug-related adverse events and for approximating rates.  In trials of all designs, adverse events reported by patients receiving Viagra® were generally similar.  In fixed-dose studies, the incidence of some adverse events increased with the dose.  The nature of the adverse events in flexible-dose studies, which more closely reflect the recommended dosage regimen, was similar to that for fixed-dose studies.





When Viagra® was taken as recommended (on an as-needed basis) in flexible-dose and placebo-controlled clinical study trials, the following adverse events were reported:

*
Abnormal Vision: Mild and transient changes, predominantly impairment of color discrimination (blue/green), but also increased perception to light of blurred vision.  At doses above the recommended dose range, adverse events are similar to those detailed above but generally were reported more frequently.





4





Gastrointestinal side effects: vomiting, gastritis, gastrointestinal disorder, flatulence, increased appetite, gastroenteritis, stomatitis, eructation, dysphagia, colitis, glossitis, constipation, rectal hemorrhage, mouth ulceration, esophagitis, rectal disorder, gingivitis and tooth disorder.





Liver/ Bilary: Liver function tests showed abnormal alanine aminotransferase enzyme (ALT) which is an indicative of higher liver damage in the blood.





Clearly, some of the side effects are due to the gastrointestinal absorption and liver/bilary system absorption of the drug.  By avoiding gastric pathway and hepatic breakdown using a new route of administration (i.e. sublingual) some of those side effects can be reduced or prevented.  Additionally, the rapid blood absorption will help to reduce the dosage while achieving the same benefits as orally administered drugs.




Relax-B





This product utilizes propranolol as its active ingredient.  Propranolol is an FDA approved drug for hypertension and anxiety attack prescribed worldwide.  When it is used at a low dose, the product has a relaxant property and can reduce stress and anxiety.  We have formulated propranolol to absorb sublingually and have used taste masking products to reduce the taste.  Our plan is to develop this product once we secure further financing.





Nico-Z





Nico-Z is a sublingual formulation of nicotine designed for cigarette replacement.  We are using a small dose of nicotine (about 5 times less than commercial nicotine) and plan to achieve a higher concentration of nicotine in the blood in a much shorter time span.  The rapid absorption of nicotine will be beneficial for individuals craving cigarette or tobacco products.  Nico-Z is not designed for smoking cessation.





V-Energy





This product is a sublingual formulation of vitamin B6/B12.  Vitamin B6/B12 is a stimulus and anti-tiredness compound.  This product is reported to be a stimulant several times more powerful than caffeine, yet does not produce the side effects of caffeine such as an increased heart rate and sleeping disorders.  Vitamin B6/B12 is often used in cancer patients to help them be less tired and more energetic.  Currently, vitamin B6/B12 is administered by injection or taken orally.  Injection is not a convenient way for drug delivery and also carries certain risks including infection.  A sublingual formulation would therefore likely be the most convenient and acceptable route of administration.





T-Slim





T-Slim is a novel formulation of catechin.  Catechin is a flavonoid that is found in higher plants and green tea.  Catechin is a major component in reducing appetite but has a poor oral absorption rate.  A sublingual formulation should result in increased availability, thus, it would be most beneficial if used whenever a person feels hungry to reduce their desire for food appreciably.





POS001





This product is a growth factor which is believed to promote the growth of hair follicles.  We intend to develop this product for hair growth.





POS002





This is an analog of vitamin K2 which is designed for the treatment of cellulite.  We plan to develop this product once all of our other products have been developed.





We acquired POS001 and POS002 pursuant to our acquisition of Posh on December 11, 2009. These products are in the research stage and have not materially increased our expenditures.

Product Research and Development





Our primary research has been focused on developing our new formulation of drug delivery technology.  We continue to improve drug bioavailability and formulations to maximize absorption.During the next 12 months, we intend to work on the formulation of our drugs, including the study and investigation of the rate of absorption into the blood stream.  Further, we intend to evaluate the dose ratio between active chemicals and other ingredients.  Our aim is to improve drug availability and maximize absorption, and we also intend to set out a formula for drug to body mass ratio.  We plan to conduct research on other ingredients which can be used to enhance skin penetration.  During the years ended May 31, 2011 and 2010, we spent approximately $664,499 and $482,502, respectively, on research and development activities.

X-Excite is our most advanced product and has been contracted out to a manufacturing company in Romania to produce exclusively for the European market.  The product was manufactured in accordance with European regulatory guidelines and was sent to a hospital in Bulgaria for Phase I human clinical trials.  The clinical trials were supervised by Clinical Investigation Limited, a contract research organization incorporated in the United Kingdom.  The data from the clinical trials met our expectations and we plan to proceed with Phase III trials in June 2012.  Phase III clinical trials of X-Excite are planned for 2012.  We do not anticipate any hindrances to the progress of this product.





We have filed with regulatory bodies in Europe to conduct Phase I clinical trials for Relax-B and are awaiting the required approval in that regard.  Our remaining products are in the early stages of development and we are conducting research for their development.





Our Technology





The sublingual technology is exclusively available to us through our License Agreement with Globe dated March 15, 2010.  It consists of a diverse portfolio of products as described in this annual report.





We will most likely use specific formula technologies oriented around sublingual dosage to develop our specialty pharmaceutical products.  However, all of the technologies will be available to us depending on the particular needs of development and commercial programs.





It is our goal to develop technologies beyond those available from Globe and other partners to meet future market demands.  Such efforts are expected to drive branded pharmaceutical manufacturers to us as these companies look to maintain their market position.





Competitive Technologies





We believe current technologies used by other specialty pharmaceutical companies are deficient in several ways.  Overall, current technologies add significant manufacturing expenses beyond the inherent cost of the chemically active ingredient (i.e. drug) and standard costs associated with making more classical dosage forms such as tablets and capsules.  In addition, most of the technology platforms fall short of being able to deliver the performance required for acceptance of the product.  For example, taste-masked systems usually do not mask the taste of the drug in a sufficient manner to render it palatable.  Also, such systems can inhibit the drug from being readily absorbed, which would prevent it from being classified as an immediate release system.  Our formulation has overcome these problems.  The combination of taste masking, rapid dissociation and adhesiveness make our products rapidly absorbable through the pores and provide superior performance activity, thereby reducing dosage and side effects.





6





The current formulations used by other companies consist of coating beads or large particles that are typically over 300 microns with an aqueous-based coating.  These systems pose the following problems:





1.
Particles are too large and leave a gritty feel in the mouth;





2.
Tablets have a drug content that is about 50% of their total weight;





3.
Pharmaceutical products are restricted to lower dosage products;





4.
Coatings are non-elastic and break quickly;





5.
Coatings inhibit the release of drugs into the mouth and do not meet strict requirements for immediate release; and





6.
Processes are lengthy, costly and require strict handling.





The leaders in the field that promote these services include Catalent Pharma Solutions, Coating Place, Inc., Contract PharmaCal, Eurand and EthyPharm.





Our products that require taste masking have many advantages over competing technologies and, in most cases, offer the only means known to produce the desired benefits.  We believe that the formulation systems we employ are state-of-the art and are not known to be in practice anywhere in the pharmaceutical field.  These technologies are very robust and consist of taste-masking small drug particles that are typically less than 250 microns with an adhesive component.  These systems pose the following advantages:





1.
Particles are very small and do not leave a gritty feel in the mouth;





2.
Particles are small enough to be placed in thin films, similar to Listerine Thin Strips; and





3.
Particles have drug content in excess of 50% w/w and typically greater than 80% w/w enabling products to be smaller and contain a higher dosage – some products may be capable of delivering up to a 1,500 mg oral equivalent in a single tablet.





Our products contain rapidly disintegrating compositions that are coated by taste masking chemicals.





Other companies’ technologies enable drugs to be absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, but produce unwanted side effects.  Additionally, orally absorbed drugs break down in the liver upon first absorption by the body.  It is known that a large number of side effects associated with drugs are due to the liver breakdown metabolites.  According to Pfizer filings with FDA, sildenafil breaks down in the liver, which may involve some side effects such as headaches, flushing, etc.





Intellectual Property





Our success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain and maintain proprietary protection for our products, technology and know-how, to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others and to prevent others from infringing our proprietary rights.  Our policy is to protect our proprietary position by, among other methods, filing patent applications in the United States and elsewhere related to our proprietary technology, inventions and improvements that are important to the development of our business.  We also rely on trade secrets, know-how, continuing technological innovation and in-licensing opportunities to develop and maintain our proprietary position.





Our patent portfolio includes one patent pending in the United States and a similar patent pending in foreign countries and regions under the Patent Cooperation Treaty.  Our patent appears under the heading “Method of Delivering Pharmaceutical Products Sublingually,” and is our core asset.  The patent was filed by Globe, but under the License Agreement we obtained the rights to use the patent worldwide, on an exclusive basis, for any drug or product that uses the technology described in the patent.





In addition to the patent, we may rely in some circumstances on trade secrets to protect our technology.  However, trade secrets are difficult to protect, so we seek to protect our proprietary technology and processes, in part, by executing confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, scientific advisors and other contractors, as well as enforcing physical security of our premises and our information technology systems.  In addition, our trade secrets may otherwise become known or independently discovered by competitors.  If our consultants or contractors use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise.

License Agreement





On March 15, 2009, we entered into a research contract with Globe Laboratories Inc., a company controlled by two individuals related to Hassan Salari, our officer and director (Julian Salari and Frederick Salari), to engage Globe to conduct research on the sublingual technologies developed by Globe.





On March 15, 2010, we entered into the License Agreement with Globe, a company incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, pursuant which we acquired the exclusive use of Globe’s sublingual technology for drug delivery for our products.  We agreed to pay $50,000 per quarter to Globe from April 1, 2009 until the technology is put into commercial production, or the technologies are sold or sublicensed.  In addition, for each product we develop using the same formulation, we agreed to pay to Globe the following fees:





1.
$25,000 upon the commencement of Phase I (drug safety and tolerability study);





2.
$250,000 upon the completion of Phase I;





3.
$1,000,000 upon the completion of Phase III (or similarly approved trials, such as 505(b)2) (drug concentration measurement in comparison to the existing formula);





4.
$3,500,000 upon the first anniversary of sale; and





5.
2% of the net sales of all products licensed to us by Globe (the “Royalty Payments”).





All payments under the License Agreement are due within 30 days of such milestone, excluding the Royalty Payments, which are due 60 days following the end of the fiscal quarter in which the sales occur.





Technology Assessment





The technologies of sublingual drug delivery are specific to our projects and business.  We will rely on our review of product development results from clinical trials as one means to measure the effectiveness of the technologies available and assess their commercial viability.





It is understood that the sublingual formulation is a platform which will apply to any of the products we propose. We have used this formulation to develop new drugs over the past few years and it has proven to be viable and applicable.  All of these remain patentable without any expected issues in the patent process.  Samplings of systems have already demonstrated a standard level in the pharmaceutical and life style market.  These systems were analyzed without compromising the ability to further secure the intellectual property rights of the technologies.





New Generations of Technology





It is our goal to continue to develop technologies and partnerships with other organizations equipped with novel systems to meet the future demand for pharmaceuticals.  These efforts are expected to drive branded pharmaceutical manufacturers to us, as they look to maintain their market position.  An example of this includes products that have tremendous market potential but weak market acceptance, such as Fosamax® from Merck, which is an excellent drug for the treatment of osteoporosis and bone associated cancers.  However, this drug has an extremely poor oral absorption rate, and as a result its sales have decreased significantly.





We believe that we can increase the oral absorption of our drugs by enhancing their oral dissociation and through chemical and mechanical technologies.  These technologies include using nano-particulate carbon fiber emulsified with active ingredients and better coating.  If the absorption of such drugs are significantly enhanced, then we believe that the revenue to be derived from them will increase significantly.

Operations and Capacity





Our development plan requires technologies that are readily transferrable to commercial settings in order to quickly advance the development of new and unique branded specialty pharmaceutical products.





The technologies of sublingual products incorporate standard pharmaceutical manufacturing and process equipment, such as tablet presses and fluid bed coaters.  Drugs can be manufactured on site or with our business alliances.  This type of manufacturing equipment and operation, when used in accordance with the process specifications required by the technologies, is readily accepted by regulatory bodies as being capable of producing products under current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs).





All equipment necessary to manufacture our products is available and supported by well established service providers that have been allied with us for many years, and with which we maintain agreements.





Employees





We are operated by Hassan Salari, who serves as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and director.  In addition, Audrey Lew serves as our Chief Financial Officer.  Currently, we have three employees.  We may hire additional employees when circumstances warrant, however, we do not anticipate hiring additional employees in the near future.  We presently conduct our business through agreements with consultants and arms-length third parties.





Marketing





Our marketing plan will be based on two strategies: our first strategy is to market directly to selective international markets if the cost of advertising and sales are reasonable.  Our other strategy is to recruit local and international partners.  We plan to enter into agreements with those companies that have a large marketing system and are recognized internationally.  In doing so, we anticipate maximizing the market potential for our products by collaborating with leading pharmaceutical and consumer-based companies.  We plan to enter into third party agreements with marketing specialists to help us determine various target indicators, which will facilitate our marketing process.  In entering into these agreements, our goal will be to maintain co-promotion and co-commercialization rights, in some countries and in various forms.  We expect to contract with third parties to warehouse and distribute our products and to provide administrative functions, such as accounts receivable management and other similar activities.





Competition





We are competing with other companies for both financing and the acquisition of prospective healthcare technologies.  In seeking out such technologies we have encountered intense competition from other development stage companies and established international companies.  Our competitors include fully integrated pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies as well as universities and public and private research institutions.  Many of our competitors have substantially greater capital resources, larger research facilities and development staffs, greater experience in product development and obtaining regulatory approvals and greater marketing capabilities than we do.  As a result, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on the acquisition and development of healthcare technologies.  This competition could result in our competitors obtaining technologies of greater quality and attracting prospective investors to finance the development of such technologies on more favorable terms.  Due to this competition, we may become involved in an acquisition with more risk or obtain financing on less favorable terms.





Currently, relatively few relevant specialty pharmaceutical manufacturers of sublingual drug delivery systems exist as compared to manufacturers of oral dosage drugs.  Currently, these companies accounted for approximately $1.8-2 billion in sales, which is a relatively small number relative to the overall size of the market.  One reason is that large pharmaceutical companies have continuously acquired drug delivery technology companies – examples include Johnson & Johnson’s purchase of Alza and Transform Pharmaceuticals; Ivax’s purchase of Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries, Ltd; NanoSystem’s sale by Eastman Kodak to Elan for $137 million; and Elan trying to sell this division to provide needed cash for its balance sheet.  Today the value of that deal is estimated at $1.5 billion.  Of the remaining specialty companies, Biovail Corporation and KV Pharmaceutical are the most dedicated to the field of drug delivery, but they remain burdened with inferior technologies to produce advance products.  These companies may be forced to aggressively seek to acquire technologies similar to ours.

Government Regulation





Government authorities in the United States at the federal, state and local levels, as well as authorities in other countries, extensively regulate, among other things, the research, development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, promotion, advertising, distribution, marketing and export and import of pharmaceutical products such as those we are developing.  The process of obtaining regulatory approvals and the subsequent substantial compliance with appropriate federal, state, local and foreign statutes and regulations requires the expenditure of substantial time and financial resources.





In the United States, the information that must be submitted to the FDA in order to obtain approval to market a new drug varies depending on whether the drug is a new product whose safety and effectiveness has not previously been demonstrated in humans or a drug whose active ingredient(s) and certain other properties are the same as those of a previously approved drug.  A new drug will follow the New Drug Application route.  The approval process in other jurisdictions such as Europe, Japan and Canada is similar to the FDA approval process.





Our clinical work is contracted out to a contract research organization, Clinical Investigations Limited, which is incorporated in the United Kingdom. This organization is currently carrying out clinical trials of X-Excite on our behalf in human subjects at a hospital in Bulgaria and will carry out clinical trials on our behalf in human subjects in various cities in Western and Eastern part of Europe or Asia as we develop our other products.  Prior to commencing any studies, they must pass through the necessary regulatory bodies, such as the FDA or European Medical Association.





CROs are highly experienced in the design and conduct of human drug testing.  They have already designed and conducted many pharmaceutical drug trials for multi-national pharmaceutical companies and have been able to obtain approval for them.  Therefore, their skill and experience provides great comfort for us in terms of obtaining regulatory approval.  Following approval of our products in Europe it is our plan to seek FDA approval in the United States.  The FDA may ask us to carry out similar trials as we conduct in Europe in the United States.  However, at that stage, we should be able to conduct our trials in the United States more rapidly given our European experience.





FDA Approval





The U.S. Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, together with other federal and state statutes and regulations, governs, among other things, the testing, research, development, manufacture, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, advertising and promotion, import and export of our products.  As a result of these laws and regulations, product development and product approval processes can be expensive and time consuming.





Pharmaceutical product development in the U.S. typically involves preclinical laboratory and animal tests, the submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application (an “IND”) that must become effective before clinical testing may commence, and adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials to establish the safety and effectiveness of a drug for each indication for which FDA approval is sought.  The satisfaction of FDA pre-market approval requirements typically takes many years and the actual time required may vary substantially based upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product or disease.





Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluation, as well as animal trials, to assess the characteristics and potential pharmacology and toxicity of a product.  The conduct of the preclinical tests must comply with federal regulations and requirements, including good laboratory practices.  The results of preclinical testing are submitted to the FDA as part of an IND along with other information, including information about product chemistry, manufacturing and controls and a proposed clinical trial protocol.  Long term preclinical tests, such as animal tests of reproductive toxicity and carcinogenicity, may continue after an IND is submitted.  A 30-day waiting period after the submission of each IND is required prior to commencing clinical testing in humans.  If the FDA has not objected to an IND within this 30-day period, the clinical trial proposed in the IND may begin.





Clinical trials involve the administration of an investigational new drug to healthy volunteers or patients under the supervision of a qualified investigator.  Clinical trials must be conducted in compliance with federal regulations and good clinical practices (or GCP), as well as under protocols detailing the objectives of the trial, the parameters to be used in monitoring safety and the effectiveness criteria to be evaluated.  Each protocol involving testing on U.S. patients and subsequent protocol amendments must be submitted to the FDA as part of an IND.





The FDA may order the temporary or permanent discontinuation of a clinical trial at any time or impose other sanctions if it believes that the clinical trial is not being conducted in accordance with FDA requirements or presents an unacceptable risk to the clinical trial patients.  The study protocol and informed consent information for patients in clinical trials must also be submitted to an institutional review board (an “IRB”) for approval.  An IRB may also require a clinical trial to be halted, either temporarily or permanently, for failing to comply with the IRB’s requirements, or it may impose other conditions on the conduct of the trial.

Results of Operations





We did not generate any revenues from inception on April 25, 2006 to May 31, 2011.  We do not anticipate generating any revenues until we have developed our products to the point where they are suitable for commercial production.  In order to generate revenues, we will incur substantial expenses in the development of our business and current products and the location and acquisition of new healthcare technologies.  We therefore expect to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future.  We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from our activities, our entire business may fail.  There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will be successful in our plan of operations, and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will generate any operating revenues or achieve profitable operations.





During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, we incurred $2,036,873 in total expenses, including $664,499 in research and development costs, $694,569 in salaries and wages, $360,140 in professional fees and $273,080 in general and administrative expenses.  During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010, we incurred total expenses of $1,810,709, including $482,502 in research and development costs, $713,323 in salaries and wages, $377,852 in professional fees and $216,710 in general and administrative expenses.  The increase in our total expenses during the most recent fiscal year was primarily due to an increase in our research and development costs and general and administrative expenses during the period, which was in turn attributable to an increase in our overall operations.





Our general and administrative expenses consisted of rent, travel, advertising and promotion, office maintenance, communication expenses and courier and postage costs.  Our general and administrative expenses increased from $216,710 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 to $273,080 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011 due the increase in our overall operations as described above, and particularly, increases in our travel and advertising and promotion expenses.  Our research and development costs increased between the two periods from $482,502 to $664,499 largely as a result of advances in our product development and clinical and manufacturing work, as well as an increase in our purchases of raw materials for conducting research on our products.





During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, we incurred a net loss from operations of $2,036,873, compared to a net loss from operations of $1,810,709 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010.  We also incurred $1,943,173 in interest expenses and $251,940 in financing charges during our most recent fiscal year, whereas we incurred $168,173 in interest expenses and no financing charges during our prior fiscal year.  The increase in our interest expenses and financing charges was entirely due to the sale of a $4,200,000 convertible debenture to one investor that we completed in March 2010.  The terms of this security are described more fully in note 4 of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this annual report.





During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, we incurred a net loss of $4,171,986, compared to a net loss of $1,978,882 during the year ended May 31, 2010.  Our net loss per share for these periods was $0.04 and $0.03, respectively.





15





Liquidity and Capital Resources





As of May 31, 2011 we had $1,485,191 in cash and cash equivalents, $2,713,479 in total assets, $2,128,789 in total liabilities and a working capital deficit of $602,695.  As of May 31, 2011 we had an accumulated deficit of $9,063,630.
 
 To date, we have experienced negative cash flows from operations and we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our cash requirements.  We expect this situation to continue for the foreseeable future, and we anticipate that we will experience negative cash flows during the year ended May 31, 2012.  Accordingly, our ability to generate any revenues continues to be uncertain.
 
 During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, we spent $1,437,941 in cash on operating activities, compared to $983,234 in cash spending on operating activities during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010.  The increase in our cash spending on operating activities during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to the increase in our net loss as described above and a significant decrease in our accounts payable and accrued liabilities from $336,061 to $88,567, as offset by a number of adjustments to reconcile our net loss to cash spending on operating activities, notably in the categories of financing charges and interest expense.
 
 We spent $301,828 in cash on investing activities during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, compared to cash spending of $109,715 on investing activities during our prior fiscal year.  The increase in our cash spending on investing activities during the recent fiscal year was primarily attributable to an increase in our spending on patents and medical licenses from $30,535 to $262,127, which was counterbalanced to some extent by a decrease in our capital asset purchases.
 
 During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, we received $2,179,002 in net cash from financing activities, including $2,250,000 in proceeds from the issuance of a convertible debenture.  During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010, we received $1,806,191 in cash from financing activities, including $1,472,868 in proceeds from the issuance of our common stock.  The increase in our cash receipts from financing activities during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to the debenture proceeds, as we did not receive any cash from the sale of our common stock during the period.  During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010, we also received $400,000 in cash from the issuance of the debenture.
 
 During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, we incurred a comprehensive loss of $4,178,948.  We estimate that our working capital requirements and projected operating expenses for the next 12 months will be approximately $1,300,000 as described in the “Plan of Operations” section, above.  We do not currently have sufficient cash resources to meet our operating expenses for the next 12 months, so we plan to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or through debt financing. There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain the funds required for our continued operation.  If we are not able to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.  The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders, while obtaining commercial loans, assuming that such loans are available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.


Going Concern





Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on our annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.





We do not anticipate generating positive internal operating cash flow until we can generate substantial revenues from the commercialization of our products, and there is no assurance that we will achieve profitable operations in the future.  We have historically financed our operations primarily through cash flows generated from the sale of our equity securities and through cash infusions from officers and affiliates in exchange for debt and/or common stock.  No officer or affiliate has made any commitment or is obligated to continue to provide cash through loans or purchases of equity.





We intend to meet the balance of our cash requirements for the next 12 months through a combination of debt financing and equity financing through private placements.  Currently we are active in contacting broker/dealers in Canada and elsewhere regarding possible financing arrangements.  However, we do not currently have any arrangements in place to complete any further private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any such financings.  If we are unsuccessful in raising sufficient funds through our capital raising efforts, we may review other financing options.





To date, we have not generated any revenues and have incurred significant operating losses from operations.  Since we anticipate expanding our operational activities in the future, we may continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations and may be required to obtain additional financing to fund our operations through offerings of equity securities and bank borrowings to the extent necessary to provide working capital.  Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from stockholders or other outside sources to sustain operations and meet our obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability.





16





Purchase of Significant Equipment





During the next 12 months, we intend to purchase a freezer, freeze dryer, autoclave and centrifuge.  We also intend to purchase additional laboratory equipment as required.  We will not be able to rely on the use of equipment provided by Kinexus or Globe for much longer, and as a result we believe that we will spend approximately $500,000 on such purchases.





Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements





As of May 31, 2011, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements, including outstanding derivative financial statements, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts.  We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.





Application of Critical Accounting Policies





We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations.





Long-Lived Assets





In accordance with ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment”, we test long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.  Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of an asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.





Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.





Foreign Currency Translation





Our functional currency is the Canadian dollar with the reported amounts being stated in the United States dollar.  In accordance with ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters”, assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated at average annual rates of exchange. The resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity.





Research and Development Costs





Research costs are expensed in the period incurred.  Development costs are expensed in the period incurred unless we believe a development project meets generally accepted accounting criteria for deferral and amortization.  No such costs have been deferred as at May 31, 2011 and 2010.





Stock-based Compensation





In accordance with ASC 718 “Stock Compensation”, we account for share-based payments using the fair value method.  Common shares issued to third parties for non-cash consideration are valued based on the fair market value of the services provided or the fair market value of the common stock on the measurement date, whichever is more readily determinable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
  To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of:
 Global Health Ventures Inc.
 
 We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Global Health Ventures Inc. (a Development Stage Company) as at May 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended May 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, and cumulative for the period from April 25, 2006 (inception) to May 31, 2011.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.  The cumulative statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period from April 25, 2006 (inception) to May 31, 2011 include amounts for the period from April 25, 2006 (inception) to May 31, 2008 which were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the period April 25, 2006 (inception) to May 31, 2008 is based solely on the reports of other auditors.
  We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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 audit provides 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 Global Health Ventures Inc. (a Development Stage Company) as at May 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended May 31, 2011, 2010  and 2009 and cumulative for the period from April 25, 2006 (inception) to May 31, 2011 and 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
  The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has limited capital and has suffered losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations that 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 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 Global Health Ventures Inc.
 (A Development Stage Company)
 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
 May 31, 2011
 
 1.   Development Stage Company
  Global Health Ventures Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 25, 2006 under the name Acting Scout Inc.  The Company changed its name to Goldtown Investments Corp. on September 20, 2007 and on October 6, 2008 changed its name to Global Health Ventures Inc. The Company is located in British Columbia, Canada.  The Company is a development stage specialty pharmaceutical company that is in the business of acquiring and licensing current outstanding and promising healthcare related technologies for further development and re-licensing to major pharmaceutical companies.   The Company is a Development Stage Company, as defined under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915 “Development Stage Entities”.
  These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has not generated significant revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future.  The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and the attainment of profitable operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As at May 31, 2011, the Company has never generated any significant revenue and has accumulated losses of $9,063,630               since inception.  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
  The Company’s common shares trade on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) under the symbol “GHLV”.
 
 2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
  a) Basis of Presentation
  These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars.  These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, Posh Cosmeceuticals Ltd., and its inactive wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Health (BC) Ventures Inc.
  b) Use of Estimates
  The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period.  The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to deferred income tax asset valuation allowance, useful life of property, plant & equipment, stock based compensation, convertible debenture, and valuation of patents and medical licenses.  The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources.  The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
  c) Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
  The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period.  Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.

 2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
  d)  Revenue Recognition
  The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition”.  The Company has not generated any revenue since inception.
  e) Comprehensive Loss
  ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements.
  f)  Cash and Cash Equivalents
  The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
  g)  Property, Plant and Equipment
  Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is provided annually at rates calculated to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:
 
 Laboratory equipment
20%   diminishing balanceComputer hardware
45%   diminishing balanceOffice furniture and fixtures
20%   diminishing balanceOffice machines and equipment
20%   diminishing balance
  In the year of acquisition, these rates are reduced by one-half.
  h)  Medical Technology Licenses
  The Company amortizes the cost of acquired medical technology licenses over the lesser of the license term or the estimated period of benefit. The term of the current medical license is the later of the date on which all the licensed patents have expired or been revoked without a right of further appeal, and the date on which  the marketing for the license agreements and the licenses granted under the agreement is seized. The medical technology licenses are being amortized over 7 years.
  i)  Long-Lived Assets
  In accordance with ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.  Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.
  Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances.  An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

  The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to a related party, a convertible debenture, and amounts due to shareholders.  The fair value of financial instruments cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to a related party and amounts due to shareholders were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.  The carrying value of the Company’s long-term convertible debenture approximates its fair value based on current market borrowing rates. Accordingly, the long-term convertible debenture is classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
  The Company’s operations will be in Canada and the United States, resulting in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates.  The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates.  Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
  k)  Income Taxes
  The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, current taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current period.
 
 Deferred income taxes are provided based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes.
 
 Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be covered or settled.  The effect of deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.  A valuation allowance is recorded for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
 l) Foreign Currency Translation
  The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar with the reported amounts being stated in the United States dollar. In accordance with ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters”, assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet dates.  Income and expense items are translated at average annual rates of exchange.  The resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
  m) Research and development costs
  Research costs are expensed in the period incurred.  Development costs are expensed in the period incurred unless the Company believes a development project meets generally accepted accounting criteria for deferral and amortization. No such costs have been deferred as at May 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
 n)  Stock-based Compensation
  In accordance with ASC 718 “Stock Compensation”, the Company accounts for share-based payments using the fair value method.  Common shares issued to third parties for non-cash consideration are valued based on the fair market value of the services provided or the fair market value of the common stock on the measurement date, whichever is more readily determinable.

  2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
 Recently Issued
  In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASC 820-10 “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value”.  ASC 820-10 provides additional guidance on how companies should measure liabilities at fair value.  Specifically, the fair value of a liability is not adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its transfer.
  In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 regarding fair value measurements and disclosures and improvement in the disclosure about fair value measurements.  This ASU requires additional disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of fair value measurements, including a description of the reasons for the transfers.  Further, this ASU requires additional disclosures for the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, requiring presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.
  In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, which amends ASC 855 to address certain implementation issues related to an entity's requirement to perform and disclose subsequent events procedures. ASU 2010-09 requires entities that make filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued. The new guidance became effective immediately for financial statements that are issued or available to be issued.
 
 Future Pronouncements
 
 The SEC is considering timelines for the use of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) by SEC issuers. The Company expects to adopt IFRS as its reporting standard when the SEC requires its domestic registrants in the U.S. to transition to IFRS. The Company has not assessed the impact of this potential change on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
  In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11 "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives" (codified within ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging). ASU 2010-11 improves disclosures originally required under SFAS No. 161. ASU 2010-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010.
  In April 2010, FASB published guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research and development transactions. Consideration that is contingent on achievement of a milestone in its entirety may be recognized as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone is judged to meet certain criteria to be considered substantive. Milestones should be considered substantive in their entirety and may not be bifurcated. An arrangement may contain both substantive and nonsubstantive milestones that should be evaluated individually. The amendments are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods with those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010.

 4.Convertible Debenture
 
 On March 19, 2010, the Company sold to one investor (the “Lender”) a $4,200,000 convertible debenture due March 18, 2014, unless converted in accordance with the repayment terms prior to such date. The debenture bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum payable on maturity, is unsecured and ranks equally to any of the Company’s existing and future unsecured debts.
  The debenture was sold with a 25% discount from face value for a net book value of $3,150,000.  The $3,150,000 consists of cash of $400,000 paid at closing and eleven investor notes in the amount of $250,000 each. The investor notes are mandatorily pre-payable in sequence, at the rate of one note per month commencing on the seven month anniversary of the closing date. In March 2011, at the Lender’s discretion, two monthly investments notes were received by the Company.
 
 Beginning six months from the closing date, the Lender may require the Company to repay the principal amount and accrued interest, in full or in part, in fully-paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock at a rate per share equal to the market price as calculated under the Debenture Agreement.  The Lender is not permitted to deliver a request for repayment where the dollar amount of the request for repayment would exceed 125% of the amounts outstanding under the debenture.  In September 2010, the conversion price was amended, providing for an additional 10% discount to the market price as defined under the Agreement.
  As long as any amounts due under the debenture are outstanding, the Company is prohibited, unless consented to by the Lender, from selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of any of its assets other than in its ordinary course of business, from merging or consolidating with any other person unless the debenture is assumed by the surviving entity and from adopting any plan or arrangement for the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.  Debenture covenants also prohibit the Company from redeeming or repurchasing any of its capital stock or making any advance or loan to any person, firm or corporation except for reasonable business expenses advanced to Company employees or independent contractors in the ordinary course of business.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company also has to reserve for issuance 50,000,000 shares of its common stock as may be issuable from time to time upon a request for repayment of the debenture in common stock. As at May 31 2011, only 29,016,808 shares of the Company’s common stock were available for issuance. On June 16 2011, the holders of a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding stock approved an amendment to the Company’s bylaws and an increase in the Company’s authorized capital from 196,000,000 shares of common stock, to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, in order to comply with the terms of the Debenture Agreement. See Note 13: Contingencies and Note 14: Subsequent Events.
 
 Events of default under the terms of the Agreement include the following:
  a)
Default of payment of interest or principal or any amount due under the Debenture Agreement;
 b)
Material default, misrepresentation, or material breach of the covenants described in the paragraph above;
 c)
Any transfer, conveyance, or assignment of substantial Company or subsidiary assets;
 d)
Any money judgment, writ of warrant or attachment, or similar process against the Company in excess of $100,000;
 e)
Failure to issue common stock within 5 business days of receipt of a written request for repayment of outstanding amounts in common stock;
 f)
The average dollar volume of common stock for any consecutive 10 day trading period falls below $40,000 per day;
 g)
Control of the whole or substantial portion of the Company by any governmental agencies;
 h)
Order by a court adjudging the Company bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization;
 i)
Failure of the Company to maintain its status as a reporting company under the federal securities laws; and
 j)
Failure to timely file reports required to be filed by the SEC
 
 Upon occurrence of one of the above events, the amount due under the debenture will be immediately due and payable at the rate of 110% of the sum of the principal outstanding immediately prior to the event of default and all interest, fees, costs and penalties.  These amounts will accrue interest at the rate of 12% per annum until payment.

 4.Convertible Debenture (continued)
 
 On July 16, 2010, the Company had an event of default under the terms of the debenture.  The Lender waived the default, and in exchange, raised the interest rate on the debenture from 6% per annum to 9% per annum.
 
 On September 2, 2010, the Company had an event of default under the terms of the debenture.  The Lender waived the default, and in exchange, raised the interest rate on the debenture from 9% per annum to 12% per annum and negotiated a 10% discount on the market price as defined under the Debenture Agreement for all conversions of the debenture into common stock.
 
 In connection with the issuance of the debenture, the Company incurred $952,250 of issuance costs which consisted of $895,250 of non-cash costs for warrants issued to the Lender and for warrants issued as a finder’s fee and $57,000 of cash costs for commissions and related professional fees.  Additional cash costs for commissions of $89,146 were incurred in the twelve month period ending May 31, 2011.  These costs are being amortized and are recorded as interest expense through March 18, 2014, the maturity date of the debenture.
 
 The Company has separately accounted for the liability and equity components of the debenture by allocating the proceeds from the issuance of the debenture between the liability component and the beneficial conversion option, or equity component.  Based on this calculation, $1,502,645 has been allocated to the equity component to date.  During the twelve month period ended May 31, 2011, the Company recorded amortization of the debt discount in the amount of $1,110,144, which was charged to interest expense.

 8.   Share Purchase Agreement
 
 Pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated May 28, 2010 and a Registration Rights Agreement dated May 28, 2010 with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”), the Company could have sold to LPC up to $20,000,000 of its common stock over a thirty month period.  As part of this agreement, the Company was required to issue 600,000 shares of its common stock to LPC as a commitment fee for entering into the Purchase Agreement.  The fee was recorded as a payable at May 31, 2010 of $312,000 based on the fair market price of the stock of $0.52.
 
 On June 15, 2010, the shares were issued.  The fair market value of the stock on the date of issuance was $0.42, resulting in a gain on the settlement of the payable of $60,000.
 
 On August 14, 2010, the agreement was cancelled and the commitment fee of $312,000 was written off to share issue costs.  On May 31, 2011, the commitment fee of $312,000 less the gain on the settlement of the payable of $60,000 and the par value of $60 on the 600,000 shares issued, which results in a net amount of $251,940, was expensed to financing charges.

 10.   Stock Options
  On June 29, 2009, the Company granted 2,000,000 options to directors and officers of the Company.  On November 12, 2010, the Company cancelled these options and reissued 5,200,000 options to directors and officers of the Company.  Pursuant to ASC 718-20-35-8, cancellations with concurrent grants of replacement awards are to be treated as a modification of the terms of the cancelled award.  As a result, compensation costs recorded in the quarter include the compensation cost of the original award and the incremental cost resulting from the modification.
  For the twelve months ending May 31, 2011, the fair value of the vested options of $461,098, under both the old plan and the new plan, have been expensed at May 31, 2011. The options are exercisable in full over the course of five years from date of grant, with four per cent (4%) of the total number of options granted to the optionee vesting each month on a monthly basis beginning on the first day of the month following the date of grant, until the option is fully vested.  As of May 31, 2011, 1,248,000 options under the new plan had vested and 3,952,000 were nonvested.

 11.   Fair Value Measures
  ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value.  A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
  Level 1
  Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  Level 2
  Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 Global Health Ventures Inc.
 (A Development Stage Company)
 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
 May 31, 2011
  11.   Fair Value Measures (continued)
  Level 3
  Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
 The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to a related party, amounts due to shareholders, and a convertible debenture. Pursuant to ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”,  the fair value of cash, is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.  The Company believes that the recorded values of its other financial instruments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to a related party and amounts due to shareholders, approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
  The Company’s convertible debt is classified as “Level 2” in the fair value hierarchy.  The Company believes that the carrying value of the convertible debt approximates its fair value based on current market borrowing rates.
  12.   Restatement of Prior Year
 
 During the quarter ending November 30, 2010, the Company identified that the compensation expense for the President of the Company for the year ended May 31, 2010 was overstated.  In addition, during the review of the financial statements, the Company discovered that the accounting for the convertible debenture considered a beneficial conversion feature in error.
 
 The impact of these restatements on the 2010 financial statements was as follows:

ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE





None.





ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES





Disclosure Controls and Procedures





We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  Our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives.





As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to certain deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting as described below.





Internal Control over Financial Reporting





Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting





Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting.  Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of the unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.





Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control-Integrated Frameworkpublished by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.  Management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of May 31, 2011 for the reasons described below.





During the course of the preparation of our financial statements for the period ended November 30, 2010, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer identified a material weakness in our internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  Based on the assessment of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of November 30, 2010, the following deficiencies were identified:





Our annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2010 and our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended August 31, 2010 required an audit adjustment to the accounting and disclosure of the compensation paid Dr. Salari, our officer and director, in fiscal 2010.  The amount of compensation paid to Dr. Salari reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2010 was overstated due to our acquisition of Posh effective December 2009, and an inadvertent error in the accrual of compensation to which Dr. Salari was entitled.  Similarly, the amount of compensation paid to Dr. Salari reported in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended August 31, 2010 was overstated due to an inadvertent error in the accrual of compensation to which Dr. Salari was entitled.  Our annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2010 and our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended August 31, 2010 were restated to reflect this adjustment.





19





In addition, based on the assessment of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of November 30, 2010, the following additional deficiencies were identified:





1.
Lack of segregation of duties/management override – in common with businesses that have few employees, there exists a weakness as one person performs many different functions; and





2.
Financial reporting deficiencies – certain accounting entries and related reporting of transactions were inadvertently not properly recorded in the past.





Management plans to remediate many of these deficiencies by engaging an accountant (other than our independent auditors) to prepare our financial statements on our behalf going forward.  In addition, management plans to work with such accountant in evaluating or proceeding with any potential acquisitions.  Also, management is currently considering additional remediation plans with respect to the above.





Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting





There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

As adopted, our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:





●
honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;





●
full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by us;

If the incident involves an alleged breach of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct by our President, Secretary and Treasurer, the incident must be reported to any member of our Board of Directors.  Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter.  It is against our policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct.

We have no formal plan for compensating our directors for their services in their capacity as directors.  Our directors may be compensated for their services as determined by our Board of Directors.  Directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our Board of Directors.  Our Board of Directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on our behalf other than services ordinarily required of a director.  During the year ended May 31, 2011, our directors received stock options for their services as directors and one of our directors, Dr. David Filer, also received $8,000 in consulting fees.

Please see the section entitled “Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans” in Item 5.





Changes in Control





We are not aware of any contract or other arrangement the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of our control.





ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE





During the year ended May 31, 2011, Hassan Salari, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and director, advanced $13,308 (2010 - $nil) to us, was repaid $405 (2010 - $4,557) by us, incurred $5,469 (2010 - $17,256) of expenses on our behalf, owed $11,011 (2010 - $nil) in expenses to us and repaid $6,916 (2010 - $nil) in expenses to us.





As at May 31, 2011, we included $271,098 (2010 - $207,126) in our accrued liabilities for salaries owed to Dr. Salari.





During the year ended May 31, 2011, we paid $Nil (2010 - $27,132) to a relative of Dr. Salari (Reza Salari) for finder’s fees incurred on two private placements.





During the year ended May 31, 2011, we paid $47,336 (2010 - $36,719) to two companies related to Dr. Salari (Pacific Therapeutics Inc. and Globe Laboratories Inc.) for rent of office and laboratory space.





On March 15, 2009, we entered into a research contract with Globe Laboratories Inc. (“Globe”), a company controlled by two individuals related to Dr. Salari, to engage Globe for research on the sublingual technologies developed by Globe.  We agreed to pay $50,000 per quarter to Globe from April 1, 2009 until the technology is put into commercial production, or the technologies are sold or sublicensed.  To date, $433,333 in research costs have been accrued under this agreement, of which $400,000 has been paid to Globe.  In addition, for the year ended May 31, 2011, we paid $121,349 to Globe for research and development costs incurred in excess of the contracted amount.  We also paid an additional $250,000 to Globe in the year ended May 31, 2011, for Milestone II payments per our License Agreement with Globe for the development of the sublingual technology.





During the year ended May 31, 2011, we paid $8,000 (2010 - $6,000) to Dr. David Filer, our director, for consulting services.





Other than as described above, we have not entered into any transactions with our officers, directors, persons nominated for these positions, beneficial owners of 5% or more of our common stock, or family members of those persons wherein the amount involved in the transaction or a series of similar transactions exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets for the last two fiscal years.





Director Independence





The OTC Bulletin Board on which our common stock is quoted on does not have any director independence requirements.  We currently use the definition in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2) for determining director independence, which states that “independent director” means a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.  Two of our three current directors, Dr. David Filer and Christian Bezy, meet this definition of independence. Hassan Salari is not independent due to the fact that Dr. Salari is one of our executive officers.

National Instrument 52-110





We are a reporting issuer in the Province of British Columbia.  NI 51-110 requires us, as a venture issuer, to disclose in our annual report certain information concerning the constitution of our audit committee and our relationship with our independent auditor.  As defined in National NI 52-110, Messrs. Filer and Bezy are independent directors.  For a description of the education and experience of our audit committee members that is relevant to the performance of their respective responsibilities as audit committee members, please see Item 10 under the heading “Business Experience”.





Dr. Salari,an audit committee member, is “financially literate”, as defined in NI 52-110, as he has the industry experience necessary to understand and analyze our financial statements, as well as an understanding of internal controls and procedures necessary for financial reporting.  Dr. Salari served for four years as a member of the audit committee of Pacgen Biopharmaceuticals Corporation (TSX-V.PGA) and has the necessary financial expertise to be classified as “financially literate.”





Since the commencement of our most recently completed financial year, we have not relied on the exemptions contained in sections 2.4 or 8 of NI 52-110.  Section 2.4 (De Minimis Non-audit Services)provides an exemption from the requirement that the audit committee must pre-approve all non-audit services to be provided by the auditor, where the total amount of fees related to the non-audit services are not expected to exceed 5% of the total fees payable to the auditor in the fiscal year in which the non-audit services were provided.  Section 8 (Exemptions)permits us to apply to a securities regulatory authority for an exemption from the requirements of NI 52-110 in whole or in part.





The audit committee has adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services as set out in the audit committee charter. A copy of our audit committee charter is filed as an exhibit to our annual report for the year ended May 31, 2009.





National Instrument 58-110





We are a reporting issuer in the Province of British Columbia.  National Instrument 58-110 of the Canadian Securities Administrators requires us, as a venture issuer, to disclose in our annual report certain information concerning corporate governance disclosure.





Board of Directors





Our Board of Directors currently consists of three members: Hassan Salari, Dr. David Filer and Christian Bezy.  We have determined that Dr. Salari is not independent as that term is defined in NI 52-110 due to the fact that Dr. Salari is one of our executive officers.  Messrs Filer and Bezy are independent.





Our Board of Directors facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over management by endorsing the guidelines for responsibilities of the Board as set out by regulatory authorities on corporate governance in Canada and the United States.  Our Board’s primary responsibilities are to supervise our management, to establish an appropriate corporate governance system, and to set a tone of high professional and ethical standards.





The Board is also responsible for:





●
selecting and assessing members of the Board;





●
choosing, assessing and compensating our executive officers, approving the compensation of all executive officers and ensuring that an orderly management succession plan exists;





●
reviewing and approving our strategic plan, operating plan, capital budget and financial goals, and reviewing its performance against those plans;





●
adopting our code of conduct and a disclosure policy, and monitoring performance against those policies;





●
ensuring the integrity of our internal control and management information systems;





●
approving any major changes to our capital structure, including significant investments or financing arrangements; and





●
reviewing and approving any other issues which, in the view of the Board or management, may require Board scrutiny.





29





Directorships





Our directors are not currently directors of any other reporting issuers (or the equivalent in a foreign jurisdiction), except that Dr. Salari served as a director of Neurokine Pharmaceuticals Inc. during the year ended May 31, 2011.





Orientation and Continuing Education





We have an informal process to orient and educate new recruits to our Board of Directors regarding their role on the Board, our committees and our directors, as well as the nature and operations of our business.  This process provides for an orientation with key members of the management staff, and further provides access to materials necessary to inform them of the information required to carry out their responsibilities as a Board member.  This information includes our most recent budget approved by the Board, our most recent annual report, our audited financial statements and copies of our interim quarterly financial statements.





The Board does not provide continuing education for our directors.  Each director is responsible for maintaining the skills and knowledge necessary to meet their obligations as director.





Nomination of Directors





Our Board of Directors is responsible for identifying new director nominees.  In identifying candidates for the Board, the Board takes into account all factors it considers appropriate, which may include strength of character, mature judgment, career specialization, relevant technical skills, diversity and the extent to which the candidate would fill a present need on the Board.  As part of the process, the Board, together with management, is responsible for conducting background searches and is empowered to retain search firms to assist in the nomination process.  Once candidates have gone through a screening process and met with a number of the existing directors, they are formally put forward as nominees for approval by the Board.





Assessments





Our Board of Directors intends for individual director assessments to be conducted by other directors, taking into account each director’s contributions at Board meetings, service on committees, experience base, and their general ability to contribute to one or more of our major needs.  However, due to our stage of development and our need to deal with other urgent priorities, the Board has not yet implemented such a process of assessment.





ITEM 14.  PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES





Audit and Non-Audit Fees





The following table sets forth the fees for professional audit services and the fees billed for other services rendered by our auditors, UHY LDMB Advisors Inc., in connection with the audit of our financial statements for the years ended May 31, 2011 and 2010, reviews of our interim financial statements, services provided in connection with our statutory and regulatory filings or engagements,and any other fees billed for services rendered by our auditors during these periods.

In the above table, “audit fees” are fees billed by our auditors for services provided in auditing our annual financial statements.  “Audit-related fees” are fees not included in audit fees that are billed by the auditors for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit review of our financial statements. “Tax fees” are fees billed by the auditors for professional services rendered for tax compliance, advice and planning.  “All other fees” are fees billed by the auditors for products and services not included in the foregoing categories.





Policy on Pre-Approval





Our Board of Directors pre-approves all services provided by our auditors.  All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.





The Board has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by UHY LDMB Advisors Inc. and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining UHY LDMB Advisors Inc. as our auditors.
