ITEM 1.
BUSINESS.




General




We are a Texas corporation formed in 1984 engaged in developing biologics for the treatment of human and animal diseases. We focus our research on the treatment of human disease indications, particularly influenza, using natural human interferon alpha that is administered in a proprietary low dose oral form.





We currently own or license seven issued patents including one issued patent on our dietary supplement, Maxisal®, and two pending patents related to the low-dose oral delivery of interferon.  We have completed more than 100 pre-clinical (animal) and human studies on the safety and efficacy of low-dose orally administered
interferon. We have filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), and there now are in effect, six Investigational New Drug (“IND”) Applications covering indicated uses for low-dose oral interferon alpha.





2


Our funding strategy is to seek private placement and pharma partner funding to complete Phase 2 clinical studies for influenza, chronic cough in COPD patients, and hepatitis C; then to find large pharma partners to fund Phase 3 clinical studies and assist with the regulatory approval process in the United States and Europe.





Technology - Non-toxic Interferon





Injectable interferon is FDA-approved to treat some neoplastic, viral and autoimmune diseases.  Many patients experience moderate to severe side effects that result in discontinuance of injectable interferon therapy. Our product is a natural human interferon alpha delivered into the oral cavity as a lozenge in low (nanogram) doses.
The lozenge dissolves in the mouth where interferon binds to surface (mucosal) cells in the mouth and throat resulting in stimulation of immune mechanisms.  Orally delivered interferon has been shown to activate hundreds of immune system genes in the peripheral blood.  Human studies have shown that oral interferon is effective against viral and autoimmune diseases. Oral interferon is given in concentrations 10,000 times less than that given by injection, resulting in almost no side effects.




Governmental or FDA approval is required for our principal products.  Our progress toward approval is discussed under each specific indication, below.







Influenza/Cold - FDA Phase 2 Study





The University of Western Australia has completed a Phase 2 clinical study of oral interferon as prevention/treatment of respiratory illnesses, including influenza.   We provided the study drug, electronic data collection service, and US regulatory support for the study.  Preliminary results of a post-hoc analysis
indicate that subjects given interferon who had received seasonal influenza vaccine prior to enrollment had a significantly lower incidence of influenza-like illness during the study, compared to subjects in the placebo group who had been vaccinated. Further exploratory analyses have discovered that the incidence of influenza-like illness, the primary study endpoint, was significantly reduced from 60% to 24% in subjects 55 years of age or older who received interferon, compared to subjects in the placebo group
who were at least 55 years old at the start of the study.




Similar to what has been observed in studies of other human diseases, preliminary analysis indicates that low-dose oral interferon therapy was safe in this study. No significant differences were found between the groups in the number or severity of adverse events reported. Placebo subjects reported an average of 1.4 adverse events, compared
to an average of 1.3 adverse events reported per interferon-treated subject.





A total of 200 healthy human volunteers were enrolled in this study to take a once daily dose of oral interferon or placebo for 16 weeks as prevention of influenza-like illness during the 2009 Australian cold and flu season. The H1N1 (2009) influenza virus was the major circulating virus in Perth during the duration of the trial and
was estimated to account for at least 90% of influenza viruses, according to the Australian Department of Health of Western Australia.  Blood samples were collected at the beginning and the end of the study for serological analysis. Once available, these serology data will help identify those subjects who had an increase in antibodies to particular cold and flu viruses, including the H1N1 (2009) influenza virus.

Two publications in the April 2009 issue of the Journal of Virology report that interferon placed in the nose of guinea pigs or ferrets significantly suppresses replication of influenza virus.  These publications reinforce our view that low-dose interferon, in the nose or in the mouth, is protective against influenza in humans.







In the March 20, 2009 issue of Science (page 1560-1561), flu experts stated “Our ability to anticipate pandemic events is poor, and our anti-pandemic armamentarium is weak.  In an ever-shifting landscape of influenza evolution, we need to be farsighted and forceful in optimizing pandemic response capacity.”





We believe low-dose oral interferon alpha will help people overcome pandemic influenza.  The present swine flu epidemic threatens to endanger millions of people.  The WHO predicted (May 7, 2009) that 2 billion people could be infected by this new swine flu.





Chronic Cough in COPD – FDA Phase 2 study ongoing; funding sought for a second study





COPD affects approximately 10% of the population over 40, is a growing problem, and is the 4th leading cause of death in the world.  Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a clinical condition with a progressive airflow limitation that is poorly
reversible and characteristic of chronic bronchitis and emphysema.  The causes of COPD include tobacco smoke, occupational dusts, chemicals, vapors and environmental pollutants.  COPD is estimated to affect more that 600 million people worldwide. There are no effective therapies for emphysema, nor are there efficient clinical management strategies.





Data from a Phase 2 clinical study at Texas Tech University shows that treatment with oral interferon leads to a rapid and significant reduction in the cough associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), resulting in improved quality of life.  Blinded, controlled studies in the US and Canada showed that oral interferon
relieves chronic coughing in horses with COPD-like disease.  A proof-of-concept study of low-dose oral interferon as treatment of chronic cough is ongoing at Texas Tech University. This  clinical study is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel trial in which 40 eligible volunteers with IPF- or COPD-associated chronic cough will be randomly assigned to one of two groups in equal numbers to receive either oral interferon or placebo lozenges. Treatment will be given
three times daily for 4 weeks, and patients will be followed for 4 weeks post-treatment to assess durability of response. The study will evaluate the ability of oral interferon to reduce the frequency and severity of chronic cough, compared to placebo.





Hepatitis C - FDA Phase 2 study ongoing





CytoPharm, Inc., our licensee for Taiwan and China, has started a Phase 2, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study of 165 hepatitis C virus-infected patients in Taiwan.  The study is designed to test the ability of oral interferon to reduce the virologic relapse rate of patients who have completed standard therapy with pegylated
interferon plus ribavirin.

Oral Warts in HIV+ Patients – FDA Phase 2 study completed





Oral warts are lesions in the mouth caused by the human papillomavirus. The FDA has granted Orphan Drug Designation to us for interferon in the treatment of oral warts in HIV+ patients. In Phase 1/2 clinical studies of 36 HIV+ patients with multiple oral warts who were receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), efficacy of
oral interferon was observed when some subjects achieved a complete or nearly complete regression of their warts.





We have now concluded a Phase 2 double-blind follow-up study in the treatment or oral warts. While the planned target was for at least 80 subjects, only 59 HIV+ patients were ultimately enrolled at 10 clinical sites in the US to take oral IFN or matching placebo for 24 weeks.  All subjects had multiple warts in their mouth at
the start of treatment, and a subset had warts on their lips as well. Analysis found that 31% of evaluable subjects in the IFN group had a 75% or greater reduction in their mouth warts (complete response) in response to treatment, compared to only 17% of the subjects in the placebo group. None of the subjects in the placebo group had a 75% or greater reduction in their lip warts, but 39% of the evaluable subjects in the IFN group met this criterion for complete response. However, given the small number of subjects
with lip warts and the failure of the study to achieve full enrollment, neither of these differences in favor of IFN over placebo was statistically significant. Oral IFN treatment was found to be safe in this study as there were no increases in adverse event frequency or severity, compared to placebo.





Strategic Alliance with HBL





Hayashibara Biochemical Laboratories, Inc. (“HBL”) was established in 1970 to engage in research and development. It is a subsidiary of Hayashibara Company, Ltd., a privately-owned Japanese holding corporation with diversified subsidiaries. For more than 130 years, the Hayashibara Company, Ltd. and its predecessors have been
applying microbiological technology to the starch industry for the production of maltose and other sugars.





In 1981, HBL established the Fujisaki Institute to accelerate development of industrial methods for the production of biologics and to sponsor clinical trials for such products. In 1985, HBL built the Fujisaki Cell Center to support basic research. In 1987, HBL successfully accomplished the mass production of human cells in an animal host
by producing human cells in hamsters. This made it possible to economically produce a natural form of human interferon alpha and other biologics. HBL also has developed and obtained patents for technology relating to the production of interferon alpha-containing lozenges by which the stability of the interferon alpha activity can be maintained for up to 24 months at room temperature and up to five years if the product is refrigerated. We believe that the use of such lozenges gives us advantages over competitive
technologies in terms of cost, taste and ease of handling. On March 13, 1992, we entered into a Joint Development and Manufacturing/Supply Agreement with HBL (the “Development Agreement”). Such Development Agreement was subsequently amended on January 17, 1996; May 10, 1996; and September 7, 2001.  The current expiration date of the Development Agreement is March 12, 2011, at which time it will automatically renew for an additional three (3) years, unless the parties agree otherwise. Among
other things, the Development Agreement provides us with a source of natural human interferon alpha for use in the Company’s interferon alpha-containing products.

Macedonia, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Slovenia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.





Strategic Alliance with Bumimedic.





In January 2006 we entered into a license and distribution agreement with Bumimedic (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd, a Malaysian pharmaceutical company that is a part of the Antah HealthCare Group, to market our low-dose interferon (natural human IFN) in Malaysia. Bumimedic will seek registration for our natural human IFN and commence marketing the
product after approval. The terms of the agreement call for Bumimedic to manufacture lozenges from our bulk natural human IFN (which is supplied by Hayashibara Biochemical Laboratories); package the lozenges and distribute them to local hospitals, pharmacies and clinics in Malaysia. Pursuant to the agreement, we will receive a series of payments, in three stages: upon formal execution of the distribution agreement, upon regulatory approval, and upon production. We will also receive a royalty on the sale of the
natural human IFN.





Strategic Alliance with CytoPharm.





In November 2006, we entered into a License and Supply Agreement with CytoPharm, Inc., a Taipei, Taiwan-based biopharmaceutical company whose parent company is Vita Genomics, Inc., the largest biotech company in Taiwan specializing in pharmacogenomics and specialty Clinical Research Organization. Under the terms of the Agreement, CytoPharm
and its subsidiary will conduct all clinical trials, and seek to obtain regulatory approvals in both China and Taiwan (the “Territory”) to launch our low dose oral interferon in the Territory for influenza and hepatitis B (“HBV”) and hepatitis C (“HCV”) indications.  According to the Agreement, CytoPharm will make payments to us upon reaching certain milestones and will also pay royalties on low dose oral interferon sales in the Territory.





In March 2008, we entered into a Supply Agreement for Animal Health with CytoPharm, Inc.  Under the terms of the Agreement, CytoPharm will conduct all clinical trials, and seek to obtain regulatory approvals in China and Taiwan (the “Territory”) to launch our low dose oral interferon in the Territory for treatment
of diseases and other healthcare applications of swine, cattle and poultry.  CytoPharm will make payments to us upon reaching certain milestones and will also pay royalties on low dose oral interferon sales in the Territory.





Strategic Alliance with Cyto Biotech.





On February 6, 2009, we entered into a 15-year License and Supply agreement with Cyto Biotech, Inc. a Taipei, Taiwan animal health company.  Under the terms of the agreement, Cyto Biotech, will, at its sole expense and cost, conduct all clinical trials and studies and seek to obtain regulatory

Competition




The pharmaceutical industry is an expanding and rapidly changing industry characterized by intense competition. We believe that our ability to compete will be dependent in large part upon our ability to continually enhance and improve our products and technologies. In order to do so, we must effectively utilize and expand our research and
development capabilities and, once developed, expeditiously convert new technology into products and processes, which can be commercialized. Competition is based primarily on scientific and technological superiority, technical support, availability of patent protection, access to adequate capital, the ability to develop, acquire and market products and processes successfully, the ability to obtain governmental approvals and the ability to serve the particular needs of commercial customers.  Corporations
and institutions with greater resources than us, therefore, have a significant competitive advantage. Our potential competitors include entities that develop and produce therapeutic agents for treatment of human and animal disease. These include numerous public and private academic and research organizations and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies pursuing production of, among other things, biologics from cell cultures, genetically engineered drugs and natural and chemically synthesized drugs. Almost all
of these potential competitors have substantially greater capital resources, research and development capabilities, manufacturing and marketing resources and experience than us. Our competitors may succeed in developing products or processes that are more effective or less costly than any that may be developed by us or that gain regulatory approval prior to our products.  We also expect that the number of competitors and potential competitors will increase as more interferon alpha products receive commercial
marketing approvals from the FDA or analogous foreign regulatory agencies. Any of these competitors may be more successful than us in manufacturing, marketing and distributing its products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully.




Government Regulation




Once a new compound has been identified in the laboratory, medicines are developed as follows:




Preclinical Testing. A pharmaceutical company conducts laboratory and animal studies to show biological activity of the compound against the targeted disease, and the compound is evaluated for safety.




Investigational New Drug Application (“IND”). After completing preclinical testing, a company files an IND with the FDA to begin to test the drug in people. The IND becomes effective if the FDA does not disapprove it within 30 days. The IND shows results of previous experiments;
how, where and by whom the new studies will be conducted; the chemical structure of the compound; how it is thought to work in the body; any toxic effects found in the animal studies; and how the compound is manufactured. All clinical trials must be reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) where the trials will be conducted. Progress reports on clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to FDA and the IRB.




Clinical Trials, Phase I. These tests involve about 20 to 80 normal, healthy volunteers. The tests study a drug’s safety profile, including the safe dosage range. The studies also determine how a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized and excreted as well as the duration
of its action.




Clinical Trials, Phase II. In this phase, controlled trials of approximately 100 to 300 volunteer patients (people with the disease) assess a drug’s effectiveness.




9


Clinical Trials, Phase III. This phase usually involves 1,000 to 3,000 patients in clinics and hospitals. Physicians monitor patients closely to confirm efficacy and identify adverse events. These numbers may be modified based on the disease prevalence.




New Drug Application (“NDA”)/Biologics License Application (“BLA”).  Following the completion of all three phases of clinical trials, a company analyzes all of the data and files with FDA an NDA, in the case of a drug product, or a BLA in the case
of a biologic product, if the data successfully demonstrate both safety and effectiveness. The NDA/BLA contains all of the scientific information that the Company has gathered. NDA’s typically run 100,000 pages or more. By law, FDA is allowed twelve months to review a standard NDA/BLA.




Approval.  Once FDA approves an NDA, the new medicine becomes available for physicians to prescribe. A company must continue to submit periodic reports to FDA, including any cases of adverse reactions and appropriate quality-control records. For some medicines, FDA requires
additional trials (Phase IV) to evaluate long-term effects.




Research and Development




During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred research and development expenses of $464,789 and $525,903 respectively. Research and development is expected to remain a significant component of the Company’s business. The Company has arranged for others, at their cost, to perform clinical research and intends
to continue to do so while utilizing its staff for monitoring such research.




Employees




We have 3 full-time employees and 2 part-time employees based in Amarillo, Texas. Of these employees, 3 are executive officers and 2 work in administrative and research and development capacities. We also use consultants in business and research development.






ITEM 2.                      DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.




Our executive and administrative offices are located at 4134 Business Park Drive, Amarillo, Texas in a 1,800 square-foot facility rented by us. The lease expires on June 30, 2010 and our monthly rent is $1,000 per month. We believe that the facilities are well maintained and generally suitable and adequate for our current and projected
operating needs.






ITEM 3.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.




From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.  As of the date of this report, we were not
aware of any such legal proceedings or claims against us.






ITEM 4.                      SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

Options reserved for the Director, employee and consultant plan but not issued (1,000,000) are not included in the table above since this stock may be utilized for other purposes if not used for the plans. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of the above options is 1.87 years.




During 2008, 15,160,000 warrants were issued.  Of these 12,000,000 were issued to a preferred shareholder, 1,920,000 to an investment banking company, 80,000 to a consultant and 1,160,000 to purchasers of unsecured private placement stock.  Deemed dividends for $548,489 and $87,758 were recognized for the warrants issued
to the preferred shareholder and investment banking company respectively.  We recognized $11,522 for stock compensation expense for the warrants issued to a consultant.  We recognized the total purchase price for private placement stock and warrants as the cost to purchase the stock.




We recognized $636,247 of deemed dividends for anti-dilution benefits received by warrant holders on November 21, 2008.  We sold private placement stock on November 21, 2008 for $0.10 per share which triggered the warrant anti-dilution provisions.  Holders of 4,640,000 warrants exercisable at $0.30 cents per share with
January 8, 2013 expiration date received 9,280,000 additional warrants.  Total warrants were increased by a factor of three and the exercise price reduced to $0.10.  We are at risk of triggering the warrant anti-dilution provisions again in the future if we sell stock below $0.10 per share to any non-exempt parties.  Holders of options and warrants prior to January 8, 2008 plus officers, directors and consultants under stock plans approved by outside board of director members are
exempt from the anti-dilution provisions.

Stock Option and Warrant Exercise Incentive:




In November 2009, the Board approved an incentive to encourage option and warrant holders (“Holders”) to exercise their options or warrants. Holders were allowed, for a limited time, to exercise up to one-third of the options or warrants they held, at an exercise price of $0.10 per share and, for each option
or warrant so exercised, two additional options or warrants were converted to cashless options or warrants, and deemed exercised immediately on a cashless basis with an exercise price of $0.10. The Company recognized $84,148 of expense related to option and warrant modifications described above.




The activity resulting from the exercise of warrants under this incentive is as follows:

The Company has two $1,000,000 notes payable under an unsecured loan agreement with HBL dated July 22, 1999.  The annual interest rate on unpaid principal from the date of each respective note is 4.5 percent, with accrued interest being payable at the maturity.  One $1,000,000 note was payable on or before December 3,
2009.  The other $1,000,000 note was payable on or before February 28, 2010. Although we are currently in default of the notes, HBL has not demanded payment. During 2008, the Company paid HBL $200,000 of interest on these notes.

ITEM 6.                      SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.




This item is not applicable to smaller reporting companies.






ITEM 7.                      MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.




The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto which appear elsewhere in this report.  The results shown herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future periods.  This discussion contains forward-looking statements based on
current expectations, which involve uncertainties.  Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors.  Readers should also carefully review factors set forth in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.




Overview




We continue to engage in research and development activities focused on developing biologics for the treatment of human and animal diseases.  We have not commenced any significant product commercialization and, until such time, we will not generate significant product revenues.  However, a license deal with a large pharmaceutical
partner may provide sufficient capital to fund FDA approval and marketing launch of low-dose oral interferon technology.  Our accumulated deficit has increased, from $31,660,009 at December 31, 2008 to $35,318,939 at December 31, 2009. Operating losses are expected to continue for the foreseeable future and until such time as the Company is able obtain a large pharmaceutical partner or attain sales levels sufficient to support operations.




In 2010 we will continue research and development activities, as well as the activities necessary to develop commercial partnerships and licenses. Expenditure of financial resources in 2010 will fall principally into five broad categories, as follows: Research and Development; Personnel; Consulting and Professional (except legal and accounting);
Legal and Accounting; and Public Relations, Investor Relations and Shareholder Relations.




Liquidity and Capital Resources




At December 31, 2009, we had available cash of $24,216, and had a working capital deficit of $4,874,900.  This includes $152,521 of accrued salaries to officers; $4,741,935 from loans ($2,000,000) and accrued interest ($661,294 from HBL; and recognition of $1,928,120 of derivative liabilities to account for warrants issued to
an institutional investor.  Negative cash flow from operating activities plus equipment purchases, software purchases and patent filings (burn rate) is approximately $76,000 per month.  Continued losses and lack of liquidity indicate that we may not be able to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon several factors including, but not limited to, the ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet obligations
on a timely basis, obtain additional financing and continue to obtain supplies and services from vendors.




We will need to raise additional funds in order to fully execute our 2010 Plan.  We are presently negotiating with human and animal health commercial development partners in various regions of the world.  We believe that one or more of these agreements will be executed during 2010. These agreements could generally include
provisions for the commercial partner to pay us a technology access fee, could include payments for a portion of the clinical trial expenses, could include payment obligations to us upon the accomplishment of certain defined tasks and/or could provide for payments relating to the future sales of commercial product. These agreements could be an important source of funds. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding from human health commercial development partners,
institutional or private investors.  If we are not successful in raising additional funds, we will need to significantly curtail clinical trial expenditures and to further reduce staff and administrative expenses and may be forced to cease operations.


15




Total outstanding current liabilities were approximately $1.87 million (59%) higher at the end of 2009 with approximately $5 million at December 31, 2009, as compared to approximately $3.14 million at December 31, 2008.  The Company started accounting for derivative liabilities associated with warrants issued in 2008 on January
1, 2009, which increased liabilities in 2009 by approximately $1.93 million




Critical Accounting Policies




We believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:




Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation




Stock based compensation expense is recorded in accordance with Financial Account Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) Topic 718, Share-Based Payment, for stock and stock options awarded in return for services rendered. The expense is measured
at the grant-date fair value of the award and recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period, which is the vesting period. The Company estimates forfeitures that it expects will occur and records expense based upon the number of awards expected to vest.




Accounting for Warrants with Embedded Derivative Feature




In accordance with Financial Account Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) Topic 815, the Company reclassified warrants with embedded derivative feature (full-ratchet anti-dilution provision) to liabilities at fair value on January 1, 2009 and reported the change in fair value of the warrants at the
end of each quarter in 2009.




Patents and Patent Expenditures




AMAR holds patent license agreements and holds patents that are owned by the Company. All patent license agreements remain in effect over the life of the underlying patents. Accordingly, the patent license fee is being amortized over 15-17 years using the straight-line method. Patent fees and legal fees associated with the issuance of new
owned patents are capitalized and amortized over 15-17 years.




Long-lived Assets




Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount.  No impairment losses have been recorded since inception.




16







Revenue Recognition




Dietary supplement and interferon sales




Revenues for the dietary supplement sales are recognized when an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and it has been determined that collectability is reasonably assured.  This generally occurs at the point when the goods are shipped to the customer.




Sublicense fee revenue




Sublicense revenue is calculated based on fees relating to a license.  Amarillo recognizes revenue on these sublicense fees in the month the revenue is generated by the licensee.




Royalty revenue




Royalty revenue is calculated based on royalty fees as a percent of net sales relating to a license.  Amarillo recognizes revenue on these royalty payments in the year the revenue is generated by the licensee.  Royalty revenue of $1,479 was reported in the year ended December 31, 2009 for HBL sales of Bimron to BioVet. 
HBL reported no sales of Bimron to Bio Vet for 2008.




Comparison of results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.




Revenues.  During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, $52,254 from product sales, sublicense fees and royalties was generated compared to $109,836 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $57,582or approximately 52%.  The difference was mostly
because a $60,000 upfront license fee was received for executing a license and supply agreement in 2008 where as no license and supply agreements were executed in 2009.




Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  We were successful in cutting costs in 2009.  Selling, General and Administrative expenses were reduced from $1,366,076 for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2008 to $1,202,702 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, a cost savings of $163,374 or approximately 12%. This was mostly because public relations and investor relations expenses were cut by $252,093 (86%) from $293,121 in 2008 to $41,028 in 2009.  Increases in legal and professional fees ($75,872), option-warrant exercise inducement expense ($84,148) and Directors’ option expense ($68,186) were offset partially offset by decreases in employee costs ($85,642), travel
($22,655), fundraising ($10,000) and accounting ($9,600) expenses.




Research and Development Expenses.Research and Development expenses of $464,789 were incurred for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $525,903 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $61,114 or approximately12%.  Clinical,
R&D personnel and R&D overhead costs were $13,936, $33,279 and $13,889 lower, respectively.




Net Income (Loss).  Net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 was $2,971,207 compared to a net loss of $1,923,067 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $1,048,140 or approximately 55%.  Net loss included a $1,240,397 change in fair
value off derivative instruments in 2009.  Net loss applicable to common shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 was $2,971,207 compared to $3,200,058 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, a reduction of $228,851 (7%).  Net loss applicable to common shareholders


17


included $77,903 of stock dividends for preferred stock shareholders, $562,841 of deemed dividend for the preferred stock beneficial conversion feature (BCF) and $636,247 of warrant anti-dilution reset deemed dividends in 2008.






ITEM 7A.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.




You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment in Amarillo Biosciences, Inc.  All of these risks may impair our business operations.  If any of the following risks actually occurs our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
 In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.




Risks Relating to our Business




We may not be able to adequately protect and maintain our intellectual property.




Our success will depend in part on our ability to protect and maintain our patents, intellectual property rights and licensing arrangements for our products and technology.  We currently own four patents and license nine patents.  No assurance can be given that such licenses or rights used by us will not be challenged,
infringed or circumvented or that the rights granted thereunder will provide competitive advantages to us. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will be able to remain in compliance with our existing or future licensing arrangements. Consequently, there may be a risk that licensing arrangements are withdrawn with no penalties to the licensee or compensation to us.




We rely on third parties for the supply, manufacture and distribution of our products.




Third parties manufacture and distribute all of our products. We do not currently have manufacturing facilities or personnel to independently manufacture our products. Currently, Marlyn Nutraceutical manufactures our nutraceutical products. Our licensed distributors, in the United States and internationally distribute the nutraceutical
products. Except for any contractual rights and remedies that we may have with our manufacturer and our distributor, we have no control over the availability of our products, their quality or cost or the actual distribution of our products. If for any reason we are unable to obtain or retain third-party manufacturers and distributors on commercially acceptable terms, we may not be able to produce and distribute our products as planned. If we encounter delays or difficulties with our contract manufacturer in producing
or packaging our products or with our distributor in distributing our products, the production, distribution, marketing and subsequent sales of these products would be adversely affected, and we may have to seek alternative sources of supply or distribution or abandon or sell product lines on unsatisfactory terms. We may not be able to enter into alternative supply, production or distribution arrangements on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There can be no assurance that the manufacturer that we have
engaged will be able to provide sufficient quantities of these products or that the products supplied will meet with our specifications or that our distributor will be able to distribute our products in accordance with our requirements.




We are dependent on funding from private placements of stock.




Sales revenue, sublicense fees and royalty income are low compared to expenses.  Our primary focus is to achieve FDA approval of oral interferon for one or more disease indications.  We do not expect significant sales or royalty revenue in the near term as Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical studies must be completed before
a NDA (New Drug Application) may be submitted to the FDA.  We operate at a net loss and current liabilities exceed current assets by $4,874,900 on December 31, 2009.  Most of




18


this ($4,741,935) includes the amount owed to HBL for two $1 million notes plus $661,294 of accrued interest; $1,928,120 recognized as derivative liabilities to account for warrants with embedded features and $152,521 of accrued salaries owed to officers.   HBL was paid $200,000 of accrued interest in January of 2008 and
extended the notes and remaining accrued interest until June 3, 2008 and August 28, 2008.  On December 10, 2008, HBL proposed to extend the notes and accrued interest until December 3, 2009 and February 28, 2010 if payment of $200,000 of accrued interest was received by February 28, 2008.  If an additional $145,000 is paid, HBL will extend the notes an additional year. We have requested more time to pay the accrued interest payments to extend the notes.  Although the notes are in
default, HBL has not demanded payment.  We are presently pursuing funding from prospective investors and prospective pharmaceutical partners.  If the Company does not get funding from investors or prospective pharmaceutical partners, the Company will not be able to pay the requested accrued interest to extend the notes.  The Company is discussing alternatives with HBL, but currently has no commitment or assurance that HBL will not demand payment and/or declare the notes in default.  We
do not have sufficient liquidity to pay off the notes or to fund operating losses unless funding is obtained from pharmaceutical partners or private placements of stock.  There can be no assurance that private placement or pharmaceutical company funding will always be available as market conditions may change.




We are dependant on certain key existing and future personnel.




Our success will depend, to a large degree, upon the efforts and abilities of our officers and key management employees such as Joseph M. Cummins, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Bernard Cohen, our Chief Financial Officer, and Martin J. Cummins, our Vice President of Clinical and Regulatory Affairs. The loss of the services of
one or more of our key employees could have a material adverse effect on our operations. We do currently have employment agreements with our executive officers. We do not currently maintain key man life insurance on any of our key employees. In addition, as our business plan is implemented, we will need to recruit and retain additional management and key employees in virtually all phases of our operations. We cannot assure that we will be able to successfully attract and retain key personnel.




If we do not successfully develop, acquire or license new drugs our business may not grow.




We must invest substantial time, resources and capital in identifying and developing new drugs, dosage and delivery systems, either on our own or by acquiring and licensing such products from third parties. Our growth depends, in part, on our success in such process.  If we are unable to either develop new products on our own
or acquire licenses for new products from third parties, our ability to grow revenues and market share may be adversely affected. In addition, we may not be able to recover our investment in the development of new drugs, given that projects may be interrupted, unsuccessful, not as profitable as initially contemplated or we may not be able to obtain necessary financing for such development if we are unable to fund such development from our future revenues. Similarly, there is no assurance that we can successfully
secure such rights from third parties on an economically feasible basis.




Our competitors are much larger and more experienced than we are and, even if we complete the development of our drugs, we may not be able to successfully compete with them.




The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive.  Our biologics and low-dose oral interferon alpha applications compete with high dose injectable interferon manufactured by Roche, InterMune, Serano, Biogen, Berlex and Hemispherx.  High dose injectable interferon has been widely accepted




19


by the medical community for many years.  Companies who manufacture injectable interferon alpha applications are more established than we are and have far greater financial, technical, research and development, sales and marketing, administrative and other resources than we do.  Even if we successfully complete the development
of our tests, we may not be able to compete effectively with these much larger companies and their more established products.




We may be subject to product liability claims in the future.




We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our technologies or products is alleged to have resulted in adverse side effects.  Side effects or marketing or manufacturing problems pertaining to any of our products could result in product liability claims or adverse publicity.  These
risks will exist for those products in clinical development and with respect to those products that receive regulatory approval for commercial sale.  Even though we have not historically experienced any problems associated with claims by users of our products, we do currently maintain product liability insurance.




We have been the subject of a going concern opinion by our independent auditors who have expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.




Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm has added an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinions issued in connection with our financial statements which states that our recurring losses from operations and the need to raise additional financing in order to execute our business plan raise substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern.  We have experienced net losses of $1,923,067 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and $2,971,207 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Net loss included a $1,240,397 change in fair value off derivative instruments in 2009. Net loss applicable to common shareholders including preferred stock dividends and deemed dividends was $3,200,058 in 2008.  Net loss applicable to common shareholders was $2,971,207 in 2009.  In addition, as of December
31, 2008 we had an accumulated deficit of $31,660,009 and $35,318,939 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Assurances cannot be given that adequate financing can be obtained to meet our capital needs. If we are unable to generate profits and unable to continue to obtain financing to meet
our working capital requirements, we may have to curtail our business sharply or cease operations altogether. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis to retain our current financing, to obtain additional financing, and, ultimately, to attain profitability. Should any of these events not occur, we will be adversely affected and we may have to cease operations.




Risks Relating to Ownership of Common Stock.




There may not be sufficient liquidity in the market for our securities in order for investors to sell their securities.




There is currently only a limited public market for our common stock, which is listed on the Bulletin Board, and there can be no assurance that a trading market will develop further or be maintained in the future.  There were 18,320,359 warrants and 5,803,404 options outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2009.  If
the warrants or options are exercised and the stock sold, the volume of stock sales may adversely impact the market price.

ITEM 9A.                      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.




As of December 31, 2009, the disclosure controls and procedures in place have been evaluated and are sufficient to ensure the accurate and full disclosure of financial matters.




The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over the financial reporting of the Company.  The Company uses the following framework to evaluate the effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting:




We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be timely disclosed, is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely fashion.




In the ordinary course of business, we review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our systems and processes to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient
systems and automating manual processes.




An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures was performed as of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based
upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that
such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SECs  rules and forms.




Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.  In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.  Based on such assessment
and those criteria, management believes that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.  The Company’s accounting firm has not issued an attestation report on the management’s assessment of the Company’s internal controls.  There were no changes made to the internal controls in 2009.  See Exhibit 33.1 for managements report on internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 13.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.




The Company has relied significantly on HBL, the largest shareholder of the Company, for a substantial portion of its capital requirements. Pursuant to the Development Agreement previously described, HBL advanced $9,000,000 for funding of research. In addition, HBL has purchased substantial amounts of the Company’s common stock from
time to time, to the point where it now owns 5.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.




HBL and the Company are parties to various license and manufacturing and supply agreements pursuant to which the Company licenses certain technology to or from HBL. HBL supplies formulations of its interferon alpha and other products to the Company at contractual prices. The Company pays HBL a 12% royalty on the first $100 million of interferon
alpha net sales and a 10% royalty on additional net sales.




Additionally, the Company is obligated to pay HBL a percentage of sublicense fee income the Company receives.  We recorded $24,360 of sublicense fees to HBL in 2009 and owed $78,360 of accrued sublicense fees to HBL on December 31, 2009.




31


HBL is obligated to pay the Company an 8% royalty on sales of oral interferon in Japan.  The Company recorded $1,479 in 2009 and $0 of royalties in 2008 from HBL animal health sales of oral interferon.




During 2009, the Company engaged the law firm of Underwood, Wilson, Berry, Stein and Johnson  P.C. of which Mr. Morris is a shareholder.  Mr. Morris is also the Secretary of the Company. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 the Company incurred approximately $65,066 of legal fees from this law firm plus $74,356
of stock payments were made for legal expenses of $60,000 forS-1 Registration Statement fees. During 2009, Dr. Steve Chen, Director, referred the Company to Cyto Biotech and collected a $30,000 finder’s fee for the $300,000 stock purchase by Cyto Biotech.




All future transactions and loans between the Company and its officers, directors and 5% shareholders will be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from independent third parties. There can be no assurance, however, that future transactions or arrangements between the Company and its affiliates will be advantageous,
that conflicts of interest will not arise with respect thereto or that if conflicts do arise, that they will be resolved in favor of the Company.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm





To the Board of Directors of


Amarillo Biosciences, Inc.


Amarillo, TX





We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Amarillo Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.





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





In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Amarillo Biosciences, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.





As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company's absence of significant revenues, recurring losses from operations, and its need for additional financing in order to fund its projected loss in 2010 raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The 2009 financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Amarillo Biosciences, Inc.


Notes to Financial Statements


December 31, 2009 and 2008








1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies





Organization and Business





Amarillo Biosciences, Inc. (the "Company” or “AMAR” or “Amarillo”), a Texas corporation formed in 1984, is engaged in developing biologics for the treatment of human and animal diseases. The Company is continuing its clinical studies as part of the process of obtaining regulatory approval from the United States
Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), so that commercial marketing can begin in the United States. The Company has developed a dietary supplement and an interferon alpha lozenge, but has not commenced any significant product commercialization activities.





Going Concern





These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet achieved profitability, and its operations
are funded primarily from debt and equity financings. Losses are anticipated in the ongoing development of its business and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve or maintain profitability.





The continuing operations of the Company and the recoverability of the carrying value of assets is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund its working capital requirements, and upon future profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relative to the recoverability
and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.





There can be no assurance that capital will be available as necessary to meet the Company's working capital requirements or, if the capital is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to the Company. The issuances of additional equity securities by the Company may result in dilution in the equity interests of its current stockholders.
Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase the Company's liabilities and future cash commitments. If the Company is unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, the business and future success may be adversely affected and the Company may cease operations. Based on these factors, our auditors have raised substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.


F-6


Fair Value of Financial Instruments





Under the FASB ASC, we are permitted to elect to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, with the change in fair value recorded in earnings. We elected not to measure any eligible items using the fair value option. Consistent with Fair Value Measurement Topic of the FASB ASC, we implemented guidelines relating
to the disclosure of our methodology for periodic measurement of our assets and liabilities recorded at fair market value.





Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:





·
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;


·
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and


·
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.





Our Level 1 assets and liabilities primarily include our cash and cash equivalents (including our money market accounts), accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions
involving identical assets or liabilities. Our Level 2 liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities. These are valued using observable inputs from readily available pricing sources for similar liabilities in active markets.





Stock Based Compensation





Stock based compensation expense is recorded in accordance with Financial Account Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, for stock and stock options awarded in return for services rendered. The
expense is measured at the grant-date fair value of the award and recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period, which is the vesting period. The Company estimates forfeitures that it expects will occur and records expense based upon the number of awards expected to vest.





The fair value of each option granted in 2008 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of between 109.6 and 165.75%, risk-free interest rate between 1.00 and


F-7


3.34%, and expected life between 2 and 8 years.  The fair value of each option granted in 2009 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of between 145.9% and 215.74%, risk-free interest rate between
0.04% and 2.02%, and expected life between 0.1 and 5 years.





Cash and Cash Equivalents





The Company classifies investments as cash equivalents if the original maturity of an investment is three months or less.





Allowance for Doubtful Accounts





The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure trade and notes receivable are not overstated due to uncollectibility.  The Company’s allowance is based on a variety of factors, including age of the receivable, significant one-time events, historical experience, and other risk considerations.  The
Company had no material accounts receivable and no allowance at December 31, 2009 and 2008.





Inventory





Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company continually assesses the appropriateness of inventory valuations giving consideration to slow-moving, non-saleable, out-of-date or close-dated inventory. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008 the Company had $2,009 and $2,342,
respectively, of inventory included in other current assets.





Property and Equipment





Property and equipment are stated on the basis of historical cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the two to seven year estimated useful lives of the assets.





Patents and Patent Expenditures





AMAR holds patent license agreements and holds patents that are owned by the Company. All patent license agreements remain in effect over the life of the underlying patents. Accordingly, the patent license fee is being amortized over 15-17 years using the straight-line method. Patent fees and legal fees associated with the issuance of new
owned patents are capitalized and amortized over 15-17 years.  Amortization expense amounted to $16,724 and $14,271 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.





F-8


Long-lived Assets





Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount.  No impairment losses have been recorded since inception.





Income Taxes





The asset and liability approach is used to account for income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to
the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.





Revenue Recognition





Dietary supplement and interferon sales





Revenues for the dietary supplement sales are recognized when an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and it has been determined that collectibility is reasonably assured.  This generally occurs at the point when the goods are shipped to the customer.





Sublicense fee revenue





Sublicense revenue is calculated based on fees relating to a license.  Amarillo recognizes revenue on these sublicense fees in the month the revenue is generated by the licensee.





Royalty revenue





Royalty revenue is calculated based on royalty fees as a percent of net sales relating to a license.  Amarillo recognizes revenue on these royalty payments in the year the revenue is generated by the licensee.  Royalty revenue of $1,479 was reported in the year ended December 31, 2009 for HBL sales of Bimron to BioVet.  HBL
reported no sales of Bimron to Bio Vet for 2008.





Research and Development





Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.


F-9


Use of Estimates





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





The most significant estimates are the assumptions used in the valuation models to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation and the fair value of the derivative liability.





Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share





Net loss per share is based on the number of weighted average shares outstanding. The effect of warrants and options outstanding is anti-dilutive.





Concentration of Credit Risk





Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable.





The Company has cash balances in a single financial institution which, from time to time, exceed the federally insured limit of $100,000.  No loss has been incurred related to this concentration of cash.





Other Concentrations





The Company and its sublicensees are reliant on a single, foreign supplier for its products.  The loss of this supplier could adversely affect the Company’s future revenues.  During 2009 and 2008 the majority of revenue came from sublicense fees from three of its sublicensees.  The loss of revenue from
one these revenue sources could adversely affect the Company’s future revenues.





Recent Accounting Pronouncements





In June 2009, FASB released the Codification which became the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. For all financial statements issued
after September 15, 2009, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification has become non-authoritative. The Codification does not change how we account for our transactions or the nature of related disclosures made. However, when referring to guidance issued by the FASB, we will refer to topics in the Codification rather than the superseded standards. The adoption of the Codification
did not have an impact on the condensed financial position, results of operations, cash flows or financial statement disclosures.


F-10


In accordance with Financial Account Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) Topic 815, the Company reclassified warrants with embedded derivative feature (full-ratchet anti-dilution provision) to liabilities at fair value on January 1, 2009 and reported the change in fair value of the warrants at the
end of each quarter in 2009.





The fair value of warrants with embedded derivative feature was estimated on January 1, 2009 and at the end of each quarter in 2009 with the binomial Black-Scholes option-pricing pricing model with the following assumptions: probability of anti-dilution ratchet at $0.06 per share between 25% and 50%, dividend yield 0.0%, expected volatility
between 138% and 233%, risk-free interest rate between 0.4% and 0.8% and expected life between 1 and 2 years.

3. Notes Payable





The Company has two $1,000,000 notes payable under an unsecured loan agreement with HBL dated July 22, 1999.  The annual interest rate on unpaid principal from the date of each respective note is 4.5 percent, with accrued interest being payable at maturity.  $1,000,000 was payable on or before June 3, 2008.  The
other $1,000,000 was payable on or before August 28, 2008.  On December 10, 2008, HBL proposed to extend the two notes and accrued interest until December 3, 2009 and February 28, 2010 if payment of $200,000 of accrued interest was received by February 28, 2009.  If an additional $145,000 is paid, HBL will extend the notes an additional year.  We have requested more time to pay the $200,000 to extend the notes.  Although we are currently in default of the notes, HBL has
not demanded payment.





During 2008, the Company paid HBL $200,000 of interest on these notes, apart from the pending arrangement above.





The Company has a line of credit with Wells Fargo for $20,000, with interest at the prime rate plus 6.75 percent. There was an outstanding balance at December 31, 2009 and 2008 of $498 and $19,941, respectively, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses. This line is


F-11


used from time to time for purchases.  The Company paid $877 and $2,435 of interest under the line of credit in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Options reserved for the Director, employee and consultant plan but not issued (1,000,000) are not included in the table above since this stock may be utilized for other purposes if not used for the plans. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of the above options is 1.87 years.




In November 2009, the Board approved an incentive to encourage option and warrant holders (“Holders”) to exercise their options or warrants. Holders were allowed, for a limited time, to exercise up to one-third of the options or warrants they held, at an exercise price of $0.10 per share and, for each option
or warrant so exercised, two additional options or warrants were converted to cashless options or warrants, and deemed exercised immediately on a cashless basis with an exercise price of $0.10. The Company recognized $84,148 of expense related to option and warrant modifications described below.





During 2009 and 2008, the Company issued 2,650,000 and 1,076,912 options, respectively, to consultants, advisors, directors, employees and two former employees, and the Company recognized expense of $201,124 and $76,745, respectively, related to these options.




F-15


During 2006, the Company issued 1,200,000 options to Company officers. These options vest over the next four years.  The remaining cost expected to be recognized if the remaining options vest is $112,874. In 2008, Company issued 700,000 options to a new officer.  The officer resigned during 2009 and these options expired.   During
2009 and 2008, the Company recognized $284,871 and $304,025, respectively, of expense related to options issued to Company officers.  Directors, officers and consultants exercised 2,079,008 and 0 options in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The weighted-average remaining contractual life of the warrants outstanding at December 31, 2008 is 2.41 years.




During 2008, 15,160,000 warrants were issued.  Of these, 12,000,000 were issued to a preferred shareholder, 1,920,000 to an investment banking company, 80,000 to a consultant and 1,160,000 to purchasers of unsecured private placement stock.  Deemed dividends for $548,489 and $87,758 were recognized for the warrants issued
to the preferred shareholder and investment banking company respectively.  We recognized $11,522 for stock compensation expense for the warrants issued to a consultant.   We recognized the total purchase price for private placement stock and warrants as the cost to purchase the stock.




In November 2008, we sold private placement stock for $0.10 per share, which triggered the anti-dilution provisions of some of the outstanding warrants, and recognized $636,247 of deemed dividends in connection with the anti-dilution benefits we then provided to the applicable warrant holders.   Specifically, the holders
of 4,640,000 warrants with anti-dilution provisions received 9,280,000 additional warrants in connection therewith.    Total warrants were increased by a factor of three and the exercise price reduced to $0.10.




Warrants issued in connection with a preferred stock financing in the first quarter of 2008 (“Firebird warrants”) have an embedded derivative feature (full-ratchet anti-dilution provision). We are at risk of triggering the warrant anti-dilution provisions of previously issued warrants if we sell stock below $0.10 per share to
any non-exempt parties.  Options and warrants issued prior to January 8, 2008 plus officers, directors and consultants under stock plans approved by outside board of director members are exempt from the anti-dilution provisions.  In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, the Company reclassified the warrants to liabilities at fair value on January 1, 2009 and reported the change in fair value of the warrants at the end of each quarter to date in 2009.




F-16


The binomial Black-Scholes pricing model was used to calculate the value of the warrants.  In the binomial model, the most likely price which will trigger the anti-dilution ratchet and the most likely price that will not trigger the anti-dilution ratchet are given estimated probabilities for occurrence. The probability of private
placement issuances triggering a reset at the closing stock price on January 1 was estimated as 50%. The probability of not triggering the reset at $0.10 per share was also estimated as 50%.  Valuation consists of 50% of the Black-Scholes value for each probable occurrence. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was utilized with the following assumptions: dividend yield 0.0%, expected volatility of 138% , risk-free interest rate of 0.76% and expected life of approximately 2 years. The valuation for
the 13.92 million warrants with embedded features was $687,723 on January 1, 2009.  The $687,723 was reclassified from the retained earnings account to the derivative liabilities account on January 1, 2009 as the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle.




The binomial Black-Scholes pricing model was used similar to the valuations above to calculate the fair value of the warrants with embedded features on December 31, 2009.  The probability of not triggering the reset at $0.10 per share was estimated as 75% since the stock closing price was $0.17 on December 31, 2009.  The
probability of private placement issuances triggering a reset at the estimated stock price of $0.06 per share was estimated as 25%. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was utilized with the following assumptions: dividend yield 0.0%, expected volatility o%, risk free interest rate 0.47%, and expected life of approximately 1 year.  The valuation for the remaining 12,447,999 warrants outstanding was $1,928,120 on December 31, 2009.  The derivative loss for the first nine months of 2009 was
$1,240,397.




We are at risk of triggering the warrant anti-dilution provisions again in the future if we sell stock below $0.10 per share to any non-exempt parties.  Holders of options and warrants prior to January 8, 2008 plus officers, directors and consultants under stock plans approved by outside board of director members are exempt from
the anti-dilution provisions.




During 2009, 7,877,350 warrants were issued together with private placement sales of 7,877,350 shares of stock.  We recognized the total purchase price for private placement stock and warrants as the cost to purchase the stock.




In 2009, investment bankers exercised 1,472,001 cashless warrants at $0.10 per share and received 785,854 shares of stock.  A total of 686,147 shares of stock reserved for exercise of warrants were returned to the Treasury.  Investors exercised 3,244,990 warrants in 2009, in addition to the cashless exercise.  No
warrants were exercised in 2008.




Stock Option and Warrant Exercise Incentive:




On November 9, 2009 the Board approved incentives to encourage option and warrant holders to exercise options and warrants. Option and Warrant holders exercised up to one third of the options or warrants they held, at a price of $0.10 per share cash to the Company, and for each option or warrant so exercised, two
were converted to cashless options/warrants with an exercise price of $0.10 per share, and deemed exercised immediately, on a cashless basis.




F-17


The company determined that this was a modification of equity instruments, and accounted for the inducement under ASC Topic 718. For option and warrant holders who accepted the inducement and exercised their instruments under the terms noted above, an incremental fair value of the inducement was determined using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model, with the following assumptions: dividend yield 0.0%, expected volatility of 147-215%, risk free interest rate 0.04-2.2%, and  expected life of  0.2-5.3 years. The Company recognized $84,148 of expense related to the inducement.  See summary of the exercise incentive transactions below:

11.  Income Taxes





Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes. The Company’s deferred tax asset of approximately $9,180,000 and $8,976,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively,
was subject to a valuation allowance of $9,180,000 and $8,976,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively, because of uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to realize future tax benefits associated with the deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets were comprised primarily of net operating loss carryovers under the cash method of accounting used by the Company for federal income tax reporting. The valuation allowance increased by $204,000 and $976,000 in 2009 and 2008, respectively.





At December 31, 2009, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $27,000,000 for federal income tax purposes expiring in 2010 through 2029.  The ability of the Company to utilize these carryforwards may be limited should changes in stockholder ownership occur.




The difference between the reported income tax provision and the benefit normally expected by applying the statutory rate to the loss before income taxes results from the change during 2009 and 2008 of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. As a result, the reported effective tax rate is 0%.
