PART I 
 ITEM 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS 
 Company Overview GeneMax is a biotechnology company whose strategic vision is to develop and market products
specializing in the application of the latest discoveries in cellular and molecular immunology and
cancer biology to the development of proprietary therapeutics aimed at the treatment and
eradication of cancer and prevention of infectious diseases. Our technologies are based on an
understanding of the function of a protein pump, known as TAP, which is located within cells and
which is essential to the processing of foreign (microbial) or autologous antigens, and subsequent
presentation to the immune system for eradication of the cancer or infected cell. The company
currently has none of its product candidates on the market and is focusing on the development and
testing of its product candidates. The current standard therapies for cancer treatment include surgery, radiation therapy and
chemotherapy. However, we believe that these treatments are not precise in targeting only
cancerous cells and often fail to remove or destroy all of the cancer. The remaining cancer cells
may then grow into new tumors, which can be resistant to further chemotherapy or radiation, which
may result in death. In the United States, the American Cancer Society estimates that in 2005
cancer will be the second leading cause of death, with an estimated 600,000 deaths from cancer
annually. 
 Company History GeneMax Corp., a Nevada corporation, currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the
symbol GMXX and the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges under the symbol GX1. GeneMax Corp.
is referred to in this Form 10-KSB as the company. GeneMax was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in 1991 under the name Wards
Futura Automotive Ltd. The company changed its name a number of times since 1991, and in July
2002, the company completed the acquisition of GeneMax Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Delaware
corporation, in a reverse merger and changed its name to GeneMax Corp. As a result of this
transaction, the former stockholders of GeneMax Pharmaceuticals owned 75% of the total issued and
outstanding shares of GeneMax. GeneMax Pharmaceuticals is now a wholly owned subsidiary of
GeneMax, and GeneMax Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc., a British Columbia corporation, is a wholly owned
subsidiary of GeneMax Pharmaceuticals. 
 The Immunotherapy Industry for Cancer Management believes that there is a critical need for more effective cancer therapies.
Management further believes that the global market for effective cancer treatments is large, and
that immunotherapies representing potential treatments for metastatic cancer are an unmet need in
the area of oncology. The human immune system appears to have the potential to clear cancers from the body, based on
clinical observations that some tumors spontaneously regress when the immune system is activated.
Most cancers are not very immunogenic, however, meaning that the cancers are not able to induce
an immune response because they no longer express sufficient levels of key proteins on their cell
surface, known as Major Histocompatability Class 1 or MHC Class I proteins. In healthy cells,
these proteins provide the information to the immune system that defines whether the cell is
healthy or, in the case of cancer or viral infection, abnormal. If the MHC Class I proteins signal
that the cells are abnormal, then the immune systems T-cells are activated to attack and kill the
infected or malignant cell. In many solid cancer tumors, the TAP protein system does not function and, therefore, the
immune system is not stimulated to attack the cancer. Management believes that although a number
of cancer therapies have been developed that stimulate the immune system, these approaches have
often proven ineffective because the cancers remain invisible to the immune system due to this
apparent lack of or low expression of the TAP protein. 1

By restoring TAP expression to TAP-deficient cells, the MHC Class I protein peptide complexes
could signal the immune system to attack the cancer. The strategic vision of GeneMax is to be a
product-driven biotechnology company, focusing primarily on use of its patented TAP technology to
restore the TAP function within cancerous cells, thus making them immunogenic, or more visible to
cancer fighting immune cells. As part of its overall strategy, and with additional funding, the
company also intends to pursue the development of prophylactic vaccines against infectious
microbes. The company intends to develop the TAP technology for use as a therapeutic cancer
vaccine that management believes will restore the normal immune recognition. Management further
believes that this cancer vaccine strategy is the only therapeutic approach that addresses this
problem of non-immunogenicity of cancer. Management believes that this therapy may have a strong
competitive advantage over other cancer therapies, since restoring the TAP protein will direct the
immune system to specifically target the cancerous cells without damaging healthy tissue. 
 GeneMaxs Target Market and Strategy GeneMax is currently pursuing product development in oncology. With additional funding, the
company will also pursue product development in prophylactic vaccines. Cancer encompasses a large
number of diseases that affect many different parts of the human body. The diversity of cancer
types and their overall prevalence create a large need for new and improved treatments. Management
believes that there is a significant market opportunity for a cancer treatment that utilizes the
highly specific defense mechanisms of the immune system to attack cancers. Based upon recent
market reports, management believes that the market for cancer vaccines could be approximately $2
billion by 2007, with a compounded annual growth rate of 104%. Our goal is to have the FDA approve
our cancer vaccine within the next few years so that we can secure a portion of this market. Management also believes that our peptide transfer assay, which is a cell-based assay designed
to evaluate compounds and drugs for their ability to stimulate or suppress the immune response,
will also be of significant interest to pharmaceutical companies, companies with natural product
libraries, anti-sense or gene libraries or proprietary rights to chemical compounds (e.g.
combinatorial chemistry companies). Additional funding will be required to exploit this
opportunity, and the company is not currently supporting its development. However, the company
recognizes that the technology may be strategic to future developments and, accordingly, the
technology has been licensed and will continue to be protected by the company. 
 Research and Development Efforts We direct our research and development efforts towards the development of immunotherapeutic
and prophylactic vaccine products for the treatment of cancer and protection against pathogenic
microbes respectively, using our proprietary TAP technology. We have focused our efforts initially
on the development of a therapeutic vaccine for applications in cancer treatment while
demonstrating the breadth of the TAP technology for the development of prophylactic vaccines and
its ability to complement currently approved and emerging products in both cancer therapeutics and
prophylactic vaccines against microbes. This approach allows the company to pursue its own
internal product development while positioning the company to enter into multiple partnerships and
licensing agreements. The company produces its TAP vaccines by inserting the TAP gene material
into a proprietary, modified adeno virus licensed from Crucell (Netherlands), and it is used as the
prototype vaccine product for performing in-vitro immunological and animal preclinical studies. We
have organized our research and development efforts to take advantage of our partners capabilities
while reducing our overhead costs. Our relationship with the University of British Columbia allows
the company to conduct contract research and development by employing highly skilled scientists at
the Biomedical Research Center (BRC). The research and development team, lead by Dr. Wilf
Jefferies at the BRC, perform the basic research on the biological function of TAP and related
licensed technology as well as preclinical animal studies in cancer and infectious diseases. We
also receive a substantive amount of technical support from our licensing partner, Crucell, in the
development of our TAP adeno virus based vaccine product. Further, the company contracts out
through Molecular Medicine (USA) the production of clinical grade vaccine product to be used in
preclinical and clinical studies that require production facilities with Good Manufacturing
Practices (GMP) and Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) certification. 2

Products and Technology in Development TAP Cancer Vaccine GeneMax is currently developing the TAP Cancer Vaccine at the University of British Columbia
Biomedical Research Centre under an agreement we refer to in this Form 10-KSB as our Collaborative
Research Agreement. This therapeutic cancer vaccine candidate, to be tested in preclinical
toxicology studies, will, if successfully developed, include the patented use of the TAP-1 gene to
restore the TAP protein, with the objective being to develop the TAP technology as a therapeutic
cancer vaccine that will restore the normal immune recognition of cancer cells. The TAP Cancer
Vaccine will be targeted at those cancers that are deficient in the TAP protein, which include
breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, melanoma, renal cancer and colorectal
cancer. Management believes that the TAP Cancer Vaccine will deliver the genetic information required
for the production of the TAP protein in the target cancer cell. This will trigger the cancer
cells ability to effectively identify itself to the bodys immune system by transporting the
cancer antigen peptides to the cell surface using the individuals specific MHC Class I proteins.
As a result, we believe that the immune response could be targeted to the entire repertoire of
cancer antigen peptides produced by the cancer cell, rather than just to a single cancer antigen,
as delivered by current cancer vaccines. The TAP Cancer Vaccine could allow the immune response to
respond to the cancer even if the TAP protein and genetic information were only delivered to a
small portion of the cancer cells. In addition, the TAP Cancer Vaccine would generate an immune
response to any TAP-deficient cancer, regardless of the patients individual genetic variability
either in the MHC Class I proteins or in the cancer-specific proteins and resultant peptides. In general, a cancer vaccine is a therapy whose goal is to stimulate the immune system to
attack tumors. Management believes that most current cancer vaccines contain either
cancer-specific proteins that directly activate the immune system or contain genetic information,
such as DNA, that encodes these cancer-specific proteins. Management believes that there are a
number of key conditions that must be met before a cancer vaccine can be effective in generating a
therapeutic immune response: (i) the cancer antigen peptide delivered by the vaccine has to be
recognized by the immune system as abnormal or foreign in order to generate a strong and
specific T-cell response; (ii) the same cancer antigen peptide has to be displayed on the surface
of the cancer cells in association with the MHC Class I proteins; and (iii) these cancer antigen
peptides then have to be sufficiently different from normal proteins in order to generate a strong
anti-tumor response. If these conditions are all met, then management believes that such cancer vaccines should
generate a sufficiently strong immune response to kill the cancer cells. However, the
identification of suitable cancer-specific antigen proteins to use in these therapeutic vaccines
has proven extremely complex. In addition, the MHC Class I proteins are highly variable, with over
100 different types in humans and, as a result, any one-cancer antigen peptide will not produce an
immune response for all individuals. Cancers are genetically unstable and their proteins are
highly variable, so that the selected cancer antigen protein may result in the immune system only
attacking a small subset of the cancerous cells. Laboratory Testing of the TAP Cancer Vaccine Management believes that the key milestone of efficacy in animal models of cancer has been
attained and that other scientific research teams have validated the experimental data from these
animal studies. The proof of principle for the TAP technology as a cancer vaccine was established
in research conducted during the last ten years in the laboratory at the Biomedical Research Center
by Dr. Wilfred Jefferies, a director and executive officer of GeneMax. The initial studies were
conducted using a small-cell lung cancer cell line that was derived from an aggressive, metastatic
cancer. These cells have multiple defects in the antigen presentation pathway in that they are
not detected by the immune system. When the TAP protein was introduced into these cells, antigen
presentation was restored. In addition, a series of animal studies have demonstrated the ability
of TAP to restore an immune response. This study was published in Nature Biotechnology (Vol. 18,
pp. 515-520, May 2000). Management believes that the TAP technology has been further validated in
melanoma, where animal studies similar to the small-cell lung cancer studies described above were
performed and similar results were achieved. 3

Pre-Clinical Testing GeneMax has completed pre-clinical animal testing of its TAP Cancer Vaccine to the extent that
is required as a prerequisite for further preclinical toxicology analysis and Investigational New
Drug (or IND) application to the FDA. The pre-clinical testing of the TAP Cancer Vaccine to date
included the evaluation of several strains of vaccinia and adenovirus vectors to assess their
respective ability to deliver the correct genetic information allowing expression of the TAP
protein in tumors, the selection and licensing of the vector from Crucell and the identification
and entering into an agreement, that we refer to in this Form 10-KSB as our Production Services
Agreement, with Molecular Medicine BioServices, Inc., a Good Manufacturing Practice (or GMP)
manufacturer, for subsequent production of the TAP Cancer Vaccine. The company has to complete the
performance of toxicology studies using the TAP Cancer Vaccine on at least two animal species to
confirm its non-toxicity. In addition, we must complete initial vaccine production, and develop
internal and external clinical trials, support personnel and infrastructure before commencing
clinical trials. Once the formal pre-clinical testing is completed, we intend to compile and summarize the data
and submit it to the United States Federal Drug Administration, or FDA, and/or the Canadian Health
Canada, or HC, and/or other national regulatory agencies, in the form of an investigational new
drug application. We anticipate that these applications would include data on vaccine production,
animal studies and toxicology studies, as well as proposed protocols for the Phase I human clinical
trials, described below. Phase I Human Clinical Trials Management believes that, subject to the completion of remaining pre-clinical work and
financing, estimated at approximately $5,000,000, the Phase I human clinical trials could commence
in the first half of 2006. The Phase I human clinical trials will be designed to provide data on
the safety of the TAP Cancer Vaccine when used in humans. The company intends to conduct the Phase
I human clinical trials at the British Columbia Cancer Agency in Vancouver, British Columbia or
other locations under evaluation. These trials will be conducted in respect of certain carcinomas.
The company has presented information on the TAP Cancer Vaccine to members of the Department of
Advanced Therapeutics of the British Columbia Cancer Agency, with the intent of obtaining their
assistance in the design and execution of the clinical study. Clinical trials to support new drug applications are typically conducted in three sequential
phases, although the phases may overlap. During Phase I, there is an initial introduction of the
therapeutic candidate into healthy human subjects or patients. The drug is tested to assess
metabolism, pharmacokinetics and pharmacological actions and safety, including side effects
associated with increasing doses. Phase II usually involves studies in a limited patient
population to assess the clinical activity of the drug in specific targeted indications, assess
dosage tolerance and optimal dosage and continue to identify possible adverse effects and safety
risks. If the therapeutic candidate is found to be potentially effective and to have an acceptable
safety profile in Phase II evaluations, Phase III trials are undertaken to further demonstrate
clinical efficacy and to further test for safety within an expanded patient population at
geographically dispersed clinical trial sites. 
 Future Products and Technology Peptide Transfer Assay We are attempting to develop potential products that may stimulate or interrupt the chain of
events involved in certain immune system-related diseases. One such potential product, referred to
in this Form 10-KSB as the Peptide Transfer Assay, would be used to identify compounds effective in
the treatment of cancer, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases and transplant rejection.
Autoimmune diseases include, but are not limited to, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple
sclerosis, myasthenia gravis and diabetes. T cells and antibodies in the bodys immune system
normally identify and destroy foreign substances and cancerous cells. Autoimmune diseases are
generally caused by the abnormal destruction of healthy body tissues when T cells and antibodies
react against normal tissue. 4

The Peptide Transfer Assay is ready for development for high-throughput screening and
partnering. High-throughput screening is the use of robotics and automated industrial processes
used to speed up the drug discovery process, testing large number of compounds against certain
targets. Additional funding will be required to exploit this opportunity, however, the technology
has been licensed and will continue to be protected by the company. Screen for Regulators of Antigenicity GeneMax recently licensed drug discovery technology that can be used to identify small
molecule regulators of the immune response. We refer to this technology in this Form 10-KSB as the
Screen for Regulators of Antigenicity Technology. Management believes that the Screen for
Regulators of Antigenicity Technology can be used to screen and select new drugs that regulate
immune responses, and that it has relevance to both cancers and viral diseases and in modulating
transplant rejection and autoimmune diseases. 
 Strategic Relationships The University of British Columbia Collaborative Research Agreement In September of 2000, GeneMax, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, GeneMax Pharmaceuticals
and GeneMax Canada, entered into the Collaborative Research Agreement with the University of
British Colombia to carry out further development of the TAP technologies as a cancer vaccine and
other commercial products, and to provide GeneMax Pharmaceuticals with the option to acquire the
rights to commercialize any additional technologies developed under the agreement. The University
of British Columbia will retain all rights and title to all inventions, improvements and
discoveries that are conceived by employees of the university, during the term of the Collaborative
Research Agreement; however the University has granted GeneMax an option to obtain a
royalty-bearing license to use such inventions, improvements and discoveries that are not covered
under the existing license agreement and include improvements and enhancements of the licensed
technologies. The Collaborative Research Agreement, as amended, provides for payments to University of
British Columbia in the aggregate of $2,973,049 (CDN), of which $991,515 was to be paid during the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, $1,135,801 was to be paid during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2003, and $471,518 was to be paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. As
of fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, an aggregate of $803,953 (CDN) was payable by GeneMax
Pharmaceuticals to the University of British Columbia in connection with the Collaborative Research
Agreement and GeneMax had purchased certain laboratory equipment in connection with the ongoing
research. In addition, the company reimbursed University of British Columbia a total of $55,812 of
patent expenditures in connection with technologies licensed to the company. The parties to the Collaborative Research Agreement have agreed to the principal terms of a
renegotiated agreement which will provide for an estimated annual budget of $295,000 (in quarterly
installments of $73,750) to allow for funding for one Ph.D. scientist and two support technicians.
In addition, the University will continue to provide GeneMax with access to university laboratories
and equipment at the University. License Agreement In March 2000, GeneMax, the University of British Columbia, and Dr. Wilfred A. Jefferies
entered into a license agreement, which is referred to in this Form 10-KSB as the License
Agreement, providing the company with an exclusive world-wide license to use certain technology
developed by University of British Columbia and Dr. Jefferies. The License Agreement allows
GeneMax to use the technology associated with the patents entitled Method for Enhancing Expression
of MHC-Class 1 Molecules Bearing Endogenous Peptides and Method of Identifying MHC-Class 1
restricted Antigens Endogenously Processed by a Cellular Secretory Pathway and to manufacture,
distribute, market, sell, lease and license or sub-license products derived or developed from the
above licensed technologies until the later of March 6, 2015 or the expiration of the last patent
obtained under the License Agreement, including the expiration of patents obtained from
modifications to existing patents. As consideration for entering into the License Agreement,
GeneMax paid an initial license fee of $113,627.32 (CDN) and issued 500,000 5

GeneMax Pharmaceutical shares to the University of British Columbia, which were subsequently
exchanged for 500,000 restricted shares of GeneMax common stock. On February 16, 2004, the University of British Columbia granted GeneMax an exclusive,
worldwide license to use a novel assay technology to screen and select new drugs that regulate
immune. As consideration for entering into this license, which we refer to as the Immune Response
License, GeneMax issued the University of British Columbia 10,000 shares of common stock and is
required to pay the university an annual maintenance fee of $500 (CDN). The term for the Immune
Response License is the longer of either twenty years or the expiration of the last patent licensed
under the Immune Response License, including the expiration of patents obtained from modifications
to existing patents. Crucell Holland B.V. On August 7, 2003, GeneMax and Crucell Holland B.V., or Crucell, entered into an agreement,
which we refer to as the Research License and Option Agreement. Pursuant to that agreement,
Crucell granted GeneMax a non-exclusive, worldwide license for Crucells adenovirus technology and
an option for a non-exclusive, worldwide commercial license to manufacture, use, offer for sale,
sell and import products using the licensed technology in the therapy of human subjects by
administering a modified and proprietary adeno virus vector (used to package GeneMaxs TAP gene
technology and deliver it to the target cancer cell in the patient) including, but not limited to,
therapeutic gene sequence(s). The Research License and Option Agreement provides for bi-annual license maintenance fees of
Euros 50,000, exclusive of applicable taxes, during the first two years of the agreement, and an
annual license maintenance fees of Euros 75,000, exclusive of applicable taxes, starting on the
third anniversary until the expiration of the agreement on August 7, 2008. Total obligations under
this agreement are Euros 450,000. To December 31, 2003, the company had made payments required totalling $115,490 (100,000) to
Crucell pursuant to the terms of the Research License and Option Agreement. Pursuant to the terms
of the Research License and Option Agreement, a further $60,864 ( 50,000) was due and payable on
February 7, 2004 and a further $60,103 ( 50,000) was due and payable on August 7, 2004 leaving
$120,967 owing as of December 31, 2004 under the terms of the agreement. As of the date of this
Annual Report, the company had not paid this amount. Pursuant to the Research License and Option
Agreement, if a party defaults in the performance of or fails to be in compliance with any material
condition of this agreement, the Research License and Option Agreement may be terminated if the
default or noncompliance is not remedied or steps initiated to remedy 3 months after receipt in
writing to the defaulting party. As of the date of this Annual Report, neither party has given
notice of default to the other. Molecular Medicine BioServices Inc. On March 18, 2003, GeneMax entered into a production service agreement, referred to in this
Form 10-KSB as the PSA, with Molecular Medicine Bioservice, Inc. of the United States. The PSA
provides for the performance of certain production services by Molecular Medicine relating to the
adenoviral vector product containing GeneMaxs TAP gene technology. The product is required to
conduct pre-clinical toxicology studies and subsequent human clinical trials. The company was in breach of its contractual obligations with Moleclar Medicine in respect of
payments due for Phase I of the project. The parties have agreed that advance payments that had
been made for subsequent phases could be allocated to the Phase I deficiency so that all payments
that were due under the PSA have now been paid in full and we have a $78,000 surplus which can be
applied towards subsequent phases of the project. In August 2004, we ceased production of our clinical grade TAP adeno based vaccine for
pre-clinical toxicology analysis with Molecular Medicine due to technical difficulties. Crucell is
currently in the process of solving technical issues associated with production yields of the
vaccine. The company has a credit of approximately USD$78,000 with Molecular Medicine towards
future vaccine production. Despite the technical difficulties we anticipate production of a
clinical grade TAP based vaccine to be produced utilizing the adeno vector 6

from Crucell or our in-house adeno virus vector to allow the company to meet its milestones
for completing toxicology analysis by the end of 2005. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases On October 21, 2003, the company entered into an agreement, which we refer to as the
Biological Materials Transfer Agreement, with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases, or NIAID, a division of the Public Health Service or PHS. The Biological Materials
Transfer Agreement provides for the license of NIAIDs Modified Vaccinia Ankara virus for use in
our research and product development. The licensed technology and virus material will be used with
the goal of developing a vaccine platform capable of generating superior protective immune
responses against smallpox. Pursuant to the Biological Materials Transfer Agreement, we pay a
non-refundable annual royalty of $2,500 per year. The Biological Materials Transfer Agreement
expires on November 5, 2008. PHS may terminate this agreement if the company is in default in the
performance of any material obligation under this Agreement, and if the default has not been
remedied within ninety days after the date of written notice by PHS of such default. Parc Place Investments AC On October 2, 2003, GeneMax and Parc Place Investments AC, or Parc Place, entered into a
financial consulting services agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement with Parc Place,
Parc Place agreed to be engaged as a consultant to the company and to render advice, consultation,
information and services regarding corporate finance and other financial service matters for a term
of twelve months. The company agreed to issue finders fees payable to Parc Place in the aggregate
of twenty percent (20%) of private placement capital raised from European and non-U.S. sources due
to the direct efforts of Parc Place. The finders fee is to be paid in cash up to a maximum of ten
percent (10%) of the capital raised and the balance of the finders fee is to be paid in shares of
the companys common stock issued at a price of $0.001 per share. Effective December 31, 2003, the
company accepted the resignation of Parc Place subject only to the closing of certain interim
financing initiatives which completed in February 2004. At that time, the company paid Parc Place
$50,000 and issued 71,428 shares of common stock. 
 Recent Developments On February 16, 2004, GeneMax added to its technology portfolio by expanding the License
Agreement with the University of British Columbia to include a technological method that identifies
agonists or antagonists antigen presentation to the immune system by normal and cancerous cells.
Management believes that this technology can be used to screen and select new drugs that regulate
immune responses. 
 Intellectual Property, Patents and Trademarks Patents and other proprietary rights are vital to the business operations of GeneMax. GeneMax
protects its technology through various United States and foreign patent filings, and maintains
trade secrets that the company owns. Our policy is to seek appropriate patent protection both in
the United States and abroad for its proprietary technologies and products. We require each of our
employees, consultants and advisors to execute a confidentiality agreement upon the commencement of
any employment, consulting or advisory relationship with us. Each agreement provides that all
confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the course of the
relationship will be kept confidential and not be disclosed to third parties except in specified
circumstances. In the case of employees, the agreements provide that all inventions conceived of by
an employee shall be the exclusive property of the company. Patent applications in the United States are maintained in secrecy until patents are issued.
There can be no assurance that our patents, and any patents that may be issued to us in the future,
will afford protection against competitors with similar technology. In addition, no assurances can
be given that the patents issued to us will not be infringed upon or designed around by others or
that others will not obtain patents that we would need to license or design around. If the courts
uphold existing or future patents containing broad claims over technology used by us, 7

the holders of such patents could require us to obtain licenses to use such technology. In
fiscal 2004 the company did not incur any costs to defend our patents. Pursuant to the License Agreement with the University of British Columbia, we acquired the
exclusive worldwide license to a portfolio of intellectual property as follows: Method of Enhancing Expression of MHC Class I Molecules Bearing Endogenous Peptides On March 26, 2002, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued US Patent No.
6,361,770 to the University of British Columbia for the use of TAP-1 as an immunotherapy against
all cancers. The patent is titled Method of Enhancing Expression of MHC Class I Molecules Bearing
Endogenous Peptides and provides comprehensive protection and coverage to both in vivo and ex vivo
applications of TAP-1 as a therapeutic against all cancers with a variety of delivery mechanisms.
The inventors were Dr. Jefferies, Dr. Reinhard Gabathuler, Dr. Gerassinmoes Kolaitis and Dr. Gregor
S.D. Reid, who collectively assigned the patent to University of British Columbia under an
assignment agreement. The patent expires March 23, 2014. We have pending applications for patent
protection for this patent in Europe and in Japan. Method of Identifying MHC Class I Restricted Antigens Endogenously Processed by a Secretory
Pathway On August 11, 1998, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued US Patent No. 5,792,604 to the
University of British Columbia, being a patent for the use of bioengineered cell lines to measure
the output of the MHC Class I restricted antigen presentation pathway as a way to screen for
immunomodulating drugs. The patent is titled Method of Identifying MHC Class I Restricted
Antigens Endogenously Processed by a Secretory Pathway. This patent covers the assay which can
identify compounds capable of modulating the immune system. The inventors were Dr. Jefferies, Dr.
Gabathuler, Dr. Kolaitis and Dr. Reid, who collectively assigned the patent to University of
British Columbia under an assignment agreement. The patent expires on March 12, 2016. We have
been granted patent protection for this patent in Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden
Switzerland and the United Kingdom, and have applied for patent protection in Canada and Japan. TAP Vaccines and other filings On July 9, 2004 the University of British Columbia filed a patent application with the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office for patent protection for TAP vaccines as a method for increasing
immune responses. As of the date of this annual report, the University of British Columbia has not
received an order granting a patent. Other patent applications have been filed by the University
of British Columbia in respect of the companys licensed technologies. We intend to continue to
work with the University of British Columbia to file additional patent applications with respect to
any novel aspects of its technology to protect its intellectual property. 
 Competition The oncology industry is characterized by rapidly evolving technology and intense competition.
Many companies of all sizes, including a number of large pharmaceutical companies as well as
several specialized biotechnology companies, are developing various immunotherapies and drugs to
treat cancer. There may be products on the market that will compete directly with the products
that GeneMax is seeking to develop. In addition, colleges, universities, governmental agencies and
other public and private research institutions will continue to conduct research and are becoming
more active in seeking patent protection and licensing arrangements to collect license fees and
royalties in exchange for license rights to technologies that they have developed, some of which
may directly compete with our technologies and products. These companies and institutions may also
compete with GeneMax in recruiting qualified scientific personnel. Many of our potential
competitors have substantially greater financial, research and development, human and other
resources than GeneMax. Furthermore, large pharmaceutical companies may have significantly more
experience than GeneMax does in pre-clinical testing, human clinical trials and regulatory approval
procedures. Such competitors may develop safer and more effective products, obtain patent
protection or intellectual property rights that limit our ability to commercialize products, or
commercialize products earlier than we do. 8

Management expects technology developments in the oncology industry to continue to occur at a
rapid pace. Commercial developments by any competitors may render some or all of our potential
products obsolete or non-competitive, which could materially harm the companys business and
financial condition. Management believes that the following companies, which are developing various types of
similar immunotherapies and therapeutic cancer vaccines to treat cancer, could be major competitors
of the company: CellGenSys Inc., Corixa Corp., Dendreon Corp., Genzyme Molecular Oncology, Therion
Biologics Corp. and Transgene S.A. 
 Government Regulation United States The design, research, development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, promotion, marketing,
advertising and distribution of drug products are extensively regulated by the FDA in the United
States and similar regulatory bodies in other countries. The regulatory process is similar for a
new drug application, or NDA. The steps ordinarily required before a new drug may be marketed in
the United States, which are similar to steps required in most other countries, include: (i)
pre-clinical laboratory tests, pre-clinical studies in animals, formulation studies and the
submission to the FDA of an initial NDA; (ii) adequate and well-controlled clinical trials to
establish the safety and effectiveness of the drug for each indication; (iii) the submission of the
NDA to the FDA; and (iv) review by an FDA advisory committee and approval by the FDA. Pre-clinical tests include laboratory evaluation of product chemistry, preparation of
consistent test batches of product to what is known as Good Laboratory Practice, toxicology
studies, animal pre-clinical efficacy studies and manufacturing pursuant to what is known as Good
Manufacturing Practice. The results of pre-clinical testing are submitted to the FDA as part of an
initial NDA. After the filing of each initial NDA, and assuming all pre-clinical results have been
approved, a thirty-day waiting period is required prior to the commencement of clinical testing in
humans. At any time during this thirty-day period or at any time thereafter, the FDA may halt
proposed or ongoing clinical trials until the FDA authorizes trials under specified terms. The
initial NDA process may be extremely costly and substantially delay development of products.
Moreover, positive results of pre-clinical tests will not necessarily indicate positive results in
subsequent clinical trials. After successful completion of the required clinical trials, a NDA is generally submitted.
The NDA is usually reviewed by an outside committee consisting of physicians, scientists, and at
least one consumer representative. The advisory committee reviews, evaluates and recommends
whether the application should be approved, but the FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an
advisory committee. The FDA may request additional information before accepting a NDA for filing,
in which case the application must be resubmitted with the additional information. Once the
submission has been accepted for filing, the FDA or the advisory committee reviews the application
and responds to the applicant. The review process is often extended by FDA requests for additional
information or clarification. The FDA cites 24 months as the median time for NDA review. If the FDA evaluations of the NDA and the manufacturing facilities are favorable, the FDA may
issue an approval letter. An approval letter will usually contain a number of conditions that must
be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA and authorization of commercial marketing of
the drug for certain indications. The FDA may also refuse to approve the NDA or issue a not
approval letter, outlining the deficiencies in the submission and often requiring either additional
testing or information or withdrawal of the submission. The manufacturers of approved products and their manufacturing facilities are subject to
continual review and periodic inspections. GeneMax has entered into a contract with Molecular
Medicine for commercial scale manufacturing of the TAP Cancer Vaccine, therefore our ability to
control compliance with FDA manufacturing requirements will be limited. Approved drugs are subject to ongoing compliance requirements and identification of certain
side effects after any of the drug products are on the market. This could result in issuance of
warning letters, subsequent withdrawal of approval, reformulation of the drug product, and
additional pre-clinical studies or clinical trials. 9

Canada In Canada, the Therapeutic Products Directorate and the Biologics and Genetic Therapies
Directorate of Health Canada ensure that clinical trials are properly designed and undertaken and
that subjects are not exposed to undue risk. Regulations define specific Investigational New Drug
Submission, or IND, application requirements, which must be complied with before a new drug can be
distributed for trial purposes. The Directorates currently review the safety, efficacy and quality
data submitted by the sponsor and approve the distribution of the drug to the investigator. The
sponsor of the trial is required to maintain accurate records, report adverse drug reactions, and
ensure that the investigator adheres to the approved protocol. Trials in humans should be
conducted according to generally accepted principles of good clinical practice. Management
believes that these standards provide assurance that the data and reported results are credible and
accurate, and that the rights, integrity, and privacy of clinical trial subjects are protected. Sponsors wishing to conduct clinical trials in Phases I to III of development must apply under
a 30-day default system. Applications must contain the information described in the regulations,
including: a clinical trial attestation; a protocol; statements to be contained in each informed
consent form, that set out the risks posed to the health of clinical trial subjects as a result of
their participation in the clinical trial; an investigators brochure; applicable information on
excipients (delivery vehicles); and chemistry and manufacturing information. The sponsor can proceed with the clinical trial if the Directorates have not objected to the
sale or importation of the drug within 30 days after the date of receipt of the clinical trial
application and Research Ethics Board approval for the conduct of the trial at the site has been
obtained. Additional information is available on Health Canadas
website - www.hc-sc.gc.ca. Other Jurisdictions Outside the United States and Canada, the companys ability to market drug products is
contingent upon receiving marketing authorization from the appropriate regulatory authorities.
Management believes that the foreign regulatory approval process includes all of the complexities
associated with FDA approval described above. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical
trials and marketing authorization vary widely from country to country. At present, foreign
marketing authorizations are applied for at a national level, although within the European Union
procedures are available to companies wishing to market a product in more than one member country. 
 Product Liability and Insurance Once the company commences the sale of its products into the market, it will face the risk of
product liability claims. Because GeneMax it not yet selling its product, it has not experienced
any product liability claims to date and the company does not yet maintain product liability
insurance. Management intends to maintain product liability insurance consistent with industry
standards upon commencement of the marketing and distribution of the TAP Cancer Vaccine. There can
be no assurance that product liability claims will not exceed such insurance coverage limits, which
could have a materially adverse effect on the companys business, financial condition or results of
operations, or that such insurance will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms,
if at all. 
 Employees and/or Consultants As of December 31, 2004 we did not have any employees. However, a number of persons provided
consulting and management services to us pursuant to management and consulting services agreements.
As of March 31, 2005, Konstantine Sarafis, the companys President and Chief Executive Officer,
Wilf Jefferies, the companys Chief Scientific Officer, and Ed Farrauto, the companys Chief
Financial Officer, had each entered into consulting or employment agreements, or had agreed to
amend their existing consulting or employment agreements with the company. See Item 10 
Management Consulting Agreements below. 10

ITEM 2 PROPERTIES GeneMax does not own any real estate or other properties. Our registered office is located at
1681 Chestnut Street, Suite 400, Vancouver, British Columbia Canada V6J 4M6. GeneMax entered into
an office services arrangement pursuant to which the company receives office services and access to
office and meeting spaces on a monthly basis at approximately $165.00 (CDN) per month base cost. 
 ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On September 8, 2004 the company filed suit in the District Court, City and County of Denver,
Colorado, against X-Clearing Corporation, its transfer agent, referred to herein as X-Clearing. We
alleged that X-Clearing was in breach of our October 2, 2001 transfer agent agreement (as amended
September 21, 2004) with X-Clearing and asked for a declaratory judgment and to have certain
records and documents returned to us so that we could pursue a transfer agency relationship with
another transfer agent. Securing a new transfer agent is an important step in obtaining a listing
of our shares on the TSX Venture Exchange. At a hearing held on September 22, 2004 X-Clearing argued that the transfer agency agreement
had not been properly terminated, and the court made a preliminary determination consistent with
X-Clearings position. Subsequent to the September 22, 2004 hearing the company actively sought a
settlement with X-Clearing, however it was unable to do so. In March 2005 both X-Clearing and the company filed additional court documentation in respect
of the matter and a hearing was set for March 18, 2005. Immediately prior to the hearing a
settlement was negotiated whereby the company agreed to pay $200,000 to X-Clearing in exchange for
all of its corporate records. The parties also exchanged various indemnity agreements. As at the
date of this filing, counsel for the parties were formalizing the terms of the settlement.

 As at September 30, 2004, the date of the most current list of shareholders provided to the
company by its transfer agent, the company had 361 shareholders of record of its common stock. Due
to the ongoing dispute with our transfer agent, we have not been able to obtain more current data. To date, we have not paid any dividends on our common stock, and the board of directors of the
company does not currently intend to declare cash dividends on our common stock. We instead intend
to retain earnings, if any, to support the growth of the companys business. Any future cash
dividends would depend on future earnings, capital requirements and the companys financial
condition and other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors. 
 Stock and Security Issuances On June 2, 2004 and June 24, 2004, the company issued unsecured convertible promissory notes
in the principal amount of $300,000 and $200,000 respectively. The notes provided for an interest
rate of 8% per annum and were due twelve months from the date of issue. The unpaid amount of
principal and interest was convertible at any time, at the holders option, into shares of the
companys common stock at a price of $0.60 per share. In addition, the holders of the notes were
granted common stock purchase warrants entitling the holder to purchase an additional 250,000
shares (in respect of the $300,000 note) and 166,667 shares (in respect of the $200,000 note). The
warrants were exercisable at a price of $0.66 per share for a period of 2 years. The company also
granted to Duncan Capital, which entity arranged for the financing, a further 125,000 common stock
purchase warrants with an estimated fair value of $15,000 as a finders fee entitling the holder to
purchase an additional 83,333 shares of the companys common stock at a price of $0.60 per share
for a period of 2 years and 41,667 shares of the companys common stock at a price of $0.66 per
share for a period of 2 years. As at December 31, 2004 $21,667 of accrued and unpaid interest is
included in accounts payable. This offering was sold pursuant to section 4(2) of the US Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, to a limited number of investors. In February 2005, the company renegotiated the terms of the promissory notes and warrants
issued in June 2004 by extending the maturity date of the notes to April 28, 2006, reducing the
conversion price of the notes to $0.30 per share and reducing the exercise price of the warrants to
$0.30 per share until December 31, 2005 and thereafter, $0.50 per share. In February 2004, the company closed a private placement offering of 857,143 units, at a
subscription price of $0.70 per unit, with each unit comprised of one share of common stock and one
warrant. The offering was conducted outside of the United States to non-U.S. Persons, in
accordance with the registration exemption provided by Regulation S promulgated under the US
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of
$0.70 within two years of the date of issuance. Gross proceeds of the offering were $600,000. The
offering provides the investors with piggy-back registration rights relating to any follow on
financing conducted that requires registration of the subject financing shares. The Offering was
exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. The company issued 71,428 shares of common stock as a
placement fee and paid a further $50,000 in connection with this
financing. Also in February 2004, the company issued an aggregate of 357,270 shares of common stock on
the exercise of stock options at $0.50 per share (in respect of 304,370 options) and $1.00 per
share (in respect of 52,900 options) and issued 10,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. 12

ITEM 6 MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION 
 Overview We are focused on developing innovative therapeutics to treat serious disorders, primarily for
cancer and infectious diseases. Since our inception, we have devoted substantially all of our
resources to research and development activities, primarily with early stage research in the field
of gene therapy. We are currently conducting preclinical studies using our TAP gene technology in
combination with an in-licensed adeno virus, with the aim of completing our preclinical trials and
filing an Investigational Drug Application for cancer in 12 months. We are also pursuing vaccine
developments for infectious diseases using our TAP gene technology and an in-licensed Modified
Vaccinia Ankora virus with the aim of establishing licensing and partnering relationships to
generate revenue and advance our in- house projects closer to commercial products. We are a development stage company and have primarily supported the financial needs of our
research and development activities since our inception through public offerings and private
placements of our equity securities. We have not received any revenue from the sale of our
products in development, and we do not anticipate generating revenue from the sale of products in
the foreseeable future. In order to carry out our corporate operational plan and to support the
anticipated future needs of our research and development activities, we expect that we will have
cash requirements of approximately USD$5,000,000 over the next twenty-four months, which we expect
to obtain through additional equity financings. The funding that we need would, if obtained, be
used to support our activities pursuant to the Collaborative Research Agreement with the University
of British Columbia, clinical grade production of our lead TAP vaccine product, commencement of
human clinical studies, advance the development of our prophylactic vaccine campaign and proceed
with potential acquisitions or in-licensing of new technologies or products. In the event that we
are able to secure funding through the sale of the companys securities, it is expected that we
will expand the companys management team to include a Director of Corporate Development, a
Director of Regulatory Affairs, a Director of Research and a Controller. It is also anticipated
that as we advance our product development in oncology and prophylactic vaccines, we will
incrementally increase the number of scientists employed under the Collaborative Research Agreement
to approximately six. If we are able to generate revenues in the next few years, we expect the source of such
revenue to consist of payments under collaborative arrangements with third parties, government
grants, and license fees. We have incurred losses since our inception and expect to incur losses
over the next several years due to our lack of any substantial source of revenue and the
continuation of our ongoing and planned research and development efforts, including preclinical
studies and clinical trials. There can be no assurance that we will successfully acquire, develop,
commercialize, manufacture, or market our product candidates or ever achieve or sustain product
revenues or profitability. We conduct our research and development at the University of British Columbia under the
Collaborative Research Agreement, and contract out clinical grade production of our TAP based
vaccines. In addition, we in-license our adeno and MVA vectors, and receive technical assistance
from our licensing partners. In August 2004, the Collaborative Research Agreement expired and could not be continued
because the company lacked the financial resources. However, the University did not terminate the
research activities and research and development continued at the University of British Columbia
through December 2004 on the understanding that the expenses incurred would be paid once the
company received further financing or would be incorporated into the terms of a new agreement. As
of December 31, 2004, outstanding debt of GeneMax to the University incurred pursuant to this
arrangement was approximately $803,953. The parties to the Collaborative Research Agreement have agreed to the principal terms of a
renegotiated agreement which will provide for an estimated annual budget of $295,000 (in quarterly
installments of $73,750) to allow for funding for one Ph.D. scientist and two support technicians.
In addition, the University will continue to provide GeneMax with access to university laboratories
and equipment at the University. We have a Production Services Agreement with Molecular Medicine for the production of a
chemical grade of our TAP adeno based vaccine for pre-clinical toxicology analysis. However, in
August 2004, we ceased production of our clinical grade vaccine due to technical difficulties.
Crucell is currently in the process of solving 13

##### Table of Contents



technical issues associated with production yields of the vaccine. Despite the technical
difficulties we anticipate a clinical grade TAP based vaccine to be produced utilizing the adeno
vector from Crucell or our in-house adeno virus vector to allow the company to meet its milestones
for completing toxicology analysis by the end of 2005. We anticipate commencing chemical grade
production of our oncology vaccine in April 2005. The company was in breach of its contractual obligations with Moleclar Medicine in respect of
payments due for Phase I of the project. The parties have agreed that advance payments that had
been made for subsequent phases could be allocated to the Phase I deficiency so that all payments
that were due under the PSA have now been paid in full and the company has a credit of
approximately USD$78,000 with Molecular Medicine to be applied towards future vaccine production. We have a License Agreement with Crucell (Netherlands) for the use of the adeno virus and PER
C6 cell line for the packaging of the TAP gene technology, propagation of the virus, to amplify the
number of virus particles with the gene and to conduct studies in animals and clinical trials in
humans. We will continue to license the adeno virus PER C6 technology from Crucell for the
production of our oncology vaccine. As of the date of this Annual Report, $120,967 was owing to Crucell. Pursuant to the Research
License and Option Agreement, if a party defaults in the performance of or fails to be in
compliance with any material condition of this agreement, the Research License and Option Agreement
may be terminated if the default or noncompliance is not remedied or steps initiated to remedy 3
months after receipt in writing to the defaulting party. As of the date of this Annual Report,
neither party has given notice of default to the other. We also have a License Agreement with the National Institute of Health (USA) for the use of
the Modified Vaccinia Ankora (MVA) virus for the development of vaccines. We will continue to
license this technology for the development of prophylactic vaccines against infectious diseases. 
 Plan of Operation and Funding Management believes that an estimated $5,000,000 is required over the next two years for
expenses associated with the balance of pre-clinical development and completion of Phase I clinical
trials for the TAP Cancer Vaccine and for various operating expenses. The company has not generated any cash flow to fund its operations and activities due
primarily to the nature of lengthy product development cycles that are normal to the biotech
industry. Therefore, the company must raise additional funds in the future to continue operations.
The company intends to finance its operating expenses with further issuances of common stock. The
company believes that anticipated future private placements of equity capital and debt financing,
if successful, may be adequate to fund the companys operations over the next twenty four months.
Thereafter, the company expects it will need to raise additional capital to meet long-term
operating requirements. The companys future success and viability are dependent on the companys
ability to raise additional capital through further private offerings of its stock or loans from
private investors. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If
adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to
conduct our proposed business operations successfully, which could significantly and materially
restrict or delay the companys overall business operations. Application of Critical Accounting Policies The company utilizes the granting of stock options as a means to compensate certain employees,
officers, directors, and consultants of the company. As the company is currently in the
development stage, these stock options form a significant portion of the overall compensation
provided by the company. As a result, the companys accounting policy with respect to these grants
of stock options is critical to the companys overall financial statement presentation, financial
position, and results of operations. The company accounts for stock based compensation in connection with these stock option grants
in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 and 148, Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, 14

revenues during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 resulted from the emphasis on the
research and development of the TAP technologies. Interest income of $0 was recorded for fiscal
years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Consulting fees were $1,440 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 compared to
$266,587 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, a decrease of $265,147 or 99.46%. The
decrease was due to less reliance on outside consultants. Consulting fees paid for by the granting of stock options were $73,500 during the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2004 as compared to $2,121,000 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, a
decrease of $2,047,500 or 96.53%. The decrease was due to granting of fewer options to
consultants. Depreciation expenses during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 was $37,449 compared to
$42,368 incurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. License fees were $121,557 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $128,000
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. Management fees were $262,506 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 compared to
$227,366 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, an increase of $35,140 or 15.45%. The office and general expenses incurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 were
$351,875 compared to $918,978 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, a decrease of
$567,103 or 61.71%. The decrease was primarily due to the company no longer using the services of
Investor Communications International. Professional fees primarily for legal work were $520,734 during the fiscal year ended December
31, 2004 compared to $277,405 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, an increase of
$243,329 or 87.72%. The increase was primarily due to higher legal fees. Research and development during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 were $1,039,052
compared to $1,114,644 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. Research and development expenses paid for by the granting of stock options were $Nil during
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to $612,000 during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2003. The decrease was due to no granting of options to consultants or employees engaged in research and development activities. Transfer agent fees during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 were $219,488, compared to
$6,223 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The increase includes an accrual of
$200,000 payable to X-Clearing as settlement of the companys lawsuit against X-Clearing. Travel expenses during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 were $55,504 compared to
$64,338 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, an decrease of $8,834 or 13.73%. The
decrease was due to less travel by management. As a result of the above, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, the company recorded
operating expenses of $2,683,105 compared to $5,778,905, a decrease of $3,095,800 or 53.57% during
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. 15

##### Table of Contents



Of the $2,683,105 incurred as operating expenses, the company incurred an aggregate of
$392,528 in fees payable to certain directors and/or private companies controlled by those
directors of the company and other related parties pursuant to consulting, management and research
and development agreements. As a result of the above, the companys net losses during the fiscal year ended December 31,
2004 were $2,683,105 or $0.13 per share as compared to a net loss of $5,778,905 or $0.34 per share
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, a decrease of $3,095,800 or 53.57%. The decrease
in net loss is attributable primarily to the reduction in stock based compensation expenses for
consulting fees and research and development of $2,047,500 and $612,000 respectively. In addition,
office and general expenses decreased $567,103. The company incurred $74,100 of costs in connection with the financing of convertible notes
resulting in a total of $89,100 being recorded as deferred finance fees. These costs will be
expensed over the term of the convertible promissory notes or the remaining unamortized amount will
be charged to stockholders equity if the notes are converted. As of December 31, 2004, $48,300 of
the deferred finance fees have been expensed. As at December 31, 2004 $21,667 of accrued and
unpaid interest is include in accounts payable. The fair value of the convertible promissory notes at issuance was estimated to be $450,000
based on an estimated fair value interest rate on debt with comparable risk profiles of 20%. As a
result, the fair value of the equity component of this instrument (comprised of the common stock
purchase warrants and the debt conversion feature) was estimated to be the remaining $50,000. The
equity component was attributed entirely to the common stock purchase warrants and recorded as a
separate component of stockholders equity as the conversion feature did not have a beneficial
intrinsic value and its fair value was otherwise determined not to be material. The company will
record a further interest expense over the term of the notes of $50,000 resulting from the
difference between the stated and fair value interest rates such that the carrying value of the
notes will be increased to the face value of $500,000 at maturity. To December 31, 2004 a further
interest expense of $27,100 has been accrued resulting in a carrying value of the notes of
$477,100. For Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2003 Compared with Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2002 Net revenues during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 were $0. The lack of
revenues during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 resulted from the consummation of
the acquisition of GeneMax Pharmaceuticals and the resulting emphasis on the research and
development of the TAP technologies. Interest income of $0 and $125 was recorded for fiscal years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Consulting fees were $266,587 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 compared to
$149,036 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, an increase of $117,551 or 78.87%. The
increase was primarily due to a full year of activity by some consultants in 2003 compared to a
partial year in 2002. Consulting fees paid by the granting of stock options were $2,121,000 during the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $630,275 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, an
increase of $1,490,725 or 236.52%. The increase was primarily due to a significant increase in
grants to consultants. Depreciation expenses during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 was $42,368 compared to
$40,890 incurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. License fees were $128,000 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 compared to $0
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. The increase was primarily due to the Crucell
contract signed in 2003, plus smaller amounts to University of British Columbia and NIH. Management fees were $227,366 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 compared to
$168,206 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, an increase of $59,160 or 35.17%. The
increase was primarily due to a full year of fees associated with ICI pursuant to a consulting
services agreement in 2003 compared to a partial year of fees in 2002. 16

The office and general expenses incurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 were
$918,978 compared to $96,830 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, an increase of
$822,148 or 849.06%. The increase was primarily due to mailing, printing and other investor
relations and media production expenditures. Professional fees primarily for legal work were $277,405 during the fiscal year ended December
31, 2003 compared to $350,782 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, a decrease of $73,377
or 20.92%. The decrease was primarily due to higher legal fees in 2002 associated with the reverse
merger. Research and development during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 were $1,114,644
compared to $833,589 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, an increase of $281,055 or
33.72%. The increase was primarily due to an increased scope of the Collaborative Research
Agreement and a $50,000 (CDN) year-end bonus to Dr. Jefferies. Research and development expenses paid for by the granting of stock options were $612,000
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $0 during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2002. The research and development expenses relating to the grant of stock options
was used for increased option packages for the key research and development staff. Travel expenses during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 were $64,338 compared to
$15,226 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, an increase of $49,112 or 322.55%. The
increase was primarily due to increased travel associated with corporate development activities,
prospective finance meetings, media and investor relations activities. As a result of the above, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the company recorded
operating expenses of $5,778,905 compared to $2,284,834, an increase of $3,494,071 or 152.92%
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. Of the $5,778,905 incurred as operating expenses, the company incurred an aggregate of
$388,869 in fees and $649,738 in expense reimbursements, payable to certain directors and/or
private companies controlled by those directors of the company and other related parties pursuant
to consulting, management and research and development agreements, and made net repayments of
$650,623. As a result of the above, the companys net losses during the fiscal year ended December 31,
2003 was $5,778,905 or $0.34 per share as compared to a net loss of $2,284,709 or $0.17 per share
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, an increase of $3,494,196 or 152.94%. As discussed
above, the increase in net loss is attributable primarily to the increased scale and scope of
overall corporate activity pertaining to the ongoing research and development relating to the TAP
technology and the TAP Cancer Vaccine. 
 Liquidity and Capital Resources As December 31, 2004, the company had $11,646 in cash. Generally, the company has financed
operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity securities. The company
received $1,224,041 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 from financing activities. During the quarter ended June 30, 2004 the company issued two unsecured convertible promissory
notes in the principal amount of $500,000, that bear interest at 8% per annum and are due 12 months
from the date of issue. The unpaid amount of principal and interest may be converted at any time
at the holders option into shares of the companys common stock at a price of $0.60 per share. In
addition, the holders of the notes were granted common stock purchase warrants entitling the holder
to purchase an additional 416,667 shares of the companys common stock at a price of $0.66 per
share for a period of two years and the company granted a further 125,000 common stock purchase
warrants with an estimated fair value of $15,000 as a finders fee entitling the holder to purchase
an additional 83,333 shares of the companys common stock at a price of $0.60 per share for a
period of two years and 41,667 shares of the companys common stock at a price of $0.66 per share
for a period of two years. The company also incurred $74,100 of costs in connection with this
financing. 17

During 2004 the company commenced a private placement of units at $0.70 per unit. Each unit
consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Each share purchase warrant entitles
the holder to purchase an additional common share of the company at a price of $0.70 per share for
a period of two years. The company issued 857,143 shares of common stock on the purchase of
857,143 units for total proceeds of $600,000. The company issued 71,428 shares of common stock as
a placement fee and paid a further $50,000 in connection with this financing. Net cash used in operating activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 was
$1,214,981. The company had no revenues during the fiscal 2004. Expenditures were primarily the
result of payments to consultants and our research and development activities. At December 31, 2004, GeneMax had 4,777,100 stock options and 1,982,970 share purchase
warrants outstanding. The outstanding stock options have a weighted average exercise price of
$0.71 per share. The outstanding warrants have a weighted average exercise price of $1.16 per
share. Accordingly, as at December 31, 2004, the outstanding options and warrants represented a
total of 6,760,070 shares issuable for a maximum of approximately $5,691,986 if these options and
warrants were exercised in full. The exercise of these options and warrants is completely at the
discretion of the holders. There is no assurance that any of these options or warrants will be
exercised. As of December 31, 2004, we anticipate that we will need significant financing to enable us to
meet our anticipated expenditures for the next 18 months, which is anticipated to be $5 million
assuming a single Phase 1 clinical trial. The companys financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a
going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and
realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the company
be unable to continue in operation. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon
our ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and pay our liabilities
arising from our business operations when they come due. We will be unable to continue as a going
concern if we are unable to obtain sufficient financing. 
 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements The company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably
likely to have a current or future effect on the companys financial condition, changes in
financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures
or capital resources that are material to investors. 
 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of
Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which clarifies financial
accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered
into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003.
The adoption of SFAS 149 did not have a material effect on the companys financial position or
results of operations. In May 2003, SFAS 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of
both Liabilities and Equity, was issued. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer
classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and
equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a
liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified
as equity. Generally, a financial instrument, whether in the form of shares or otherwise, that is
mandatorily redeemable, i.e. that embodies an unconditional obligation requiring the issuer to
redeem it by transferring its shares or assets at a specified or determinable date (or dates) or
upon an event that is certain to occur, must be classified as a liability (or asset in some
circumstances). In some cases, a financial instrument that is conditionally redeemable may also be
subject to the same treatment. This Statement does not 18

apply to features that are embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative (as
defined) in its entirety. For public entities, this Statement is effective for financial
instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not affect
the companys financial position or results of operations. In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletins (ARB) No. 51, Consolidated
Financial Statements (FIN 46). FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entitles created
after January 31, 2003, and in the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 for variable
interest entities created prior to January 31, 2003. The interpretation explains how to identify
variable interest entities and how an enterprise assesses its interest in a variable interest
entity to decide whether to consolidate that entity. The interpretation requires existing
unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the
entities do not effectively disperse risks among parties involved. Variable interest entities that
effectively disperse risks will not be consolidated unless a single party holds an interest or
combination of interests that effectively recombines risks that were previously dispersed. The
adoption of FIN 46 did not have a material effect on the companys financial position or results of
operations. In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretations No. 46 (Revised December 2003)
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46R). FIN 46R
is an update of FIN 46 and contains different implementation dates based on the types of entities
subject to the standard and based on whether a company has adopted FIN 46. The adoption of FIN 46R
did not have a material impact on the companys financial position or results of operations. In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
123R, Share-Based Payment, which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which
an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. A key provision of this
statement is the requirement of a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received
in exchange for an award of equity instruments (including stock options) based on the grant date
fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is
required to provide service in exchange for the award (i.e., the requisite service period or
vesting period). This standard becomes effective for the company for its first annual or interim
period ended on or after December 15, 2005. The company will adopt SFAS 123R no later than the
beginning of the companys fourth quarter ending December 31, 2005. Management is currently
evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS 123R will have on the companys financial
position and results of operations. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, an amendment
of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions(SFAS 153) SFAS 153 requires that
exchanges of non-monetary assets are to be measured based on fair value and eliminates the
exception for exchanges of non-monetary, similar productive assets, and adds an exemption for
non-monetary exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFAS 153 will be effective for fiscal
periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not believe that the adoption of this
standard will have a material impact on the companys financial position or results of operations. 
 Risk Factors An investment in GeneMax entails certain risks that should be carefully considered. In
addition, these risk factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected
include the following: We have a history of operating losses. We continue to incur losses and are likely to require additional financing. We have incurred
operating losses and negative cash flow from operations for most of our history. Losses incurred
since our inception have aggregated $12,434,770 and there can be no assurance that we will be able
to generate positive cash flows to fund our operations in the future or to pursue our strategic
objectives. We believe that we will have sufficient cash to satisfy our needs for at least the next
four to six months. If we are not able to operate profitably and generate positive cash flows, we
will undoubtedly need to raise additional capital, most likely via the sale of equity securities,
to fund our operations. If we do in fact need additional financing to meet our requirements, there
can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on terms satisfactory to us, if
at all. Alternatively, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to existing stockholders,
and debt financing, if available, may include restrictive covenants. If adequate funds are not
available, we might be required to limit our research and 19

development activities or our selling, marketing and administrative activities any of which
could have a material adverse effect on the future of the business. Further, we do not have any products that generate revenue and expect our operating losses to
increase significantly as we commence clinical trials. We do not expect to earn significant
revenue for several years, and may never do so. Continued operating losses and the failure to
satisfy our financial obligations will have a material adverse effect upon the future of our
business.  The independent auditors report accompanying our December 31, 2004 consolidated financial
statements contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will
continue as a going concern, which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our
liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. Our ability to continue as a going
concern is dependent on raising additional capital to fund ongoing research and development and
ultimately on generating future profitable operations. There can be no assurance that we will be
able to raise sufficient additional capital or eventually positive cash flow from operations to
address all of our cash flow needs. If we were not able to find alternative sources of cash or
generate positive cash flow from operations, our business and shareholders would be materially and
adversely affected.  We depend upon collaborative relationships and third parties for product development and
commercialization, and are in breach of many of the agreements with these parties. We have historically entered into research and development agreements with collaborative
partners. Pursuant to these agreements, our collaborative partners provide us with the intellectual
property and options for the license of the intellectual property necessary to develop and
commercialize our product candidates. We will continue to rely on future collaborative partners for
the development of products and technologies. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
negotiate such collaborative arrangements on acceptable terms, if at all, or that current or future
collaborative arrangements will be successful. To the extent that we are not able to establish
such arrangements, we could be forced to undertake such activities at our own expense. The amount
and timing of resources that any of these partners devotes to these activities will generally be
based on progress by us in our product development efforts. Some of our collaborative arrangements
may be terminated by the partner upon prior notice without cause and there can be no assurance that
any of these partners will perform its contractual obligations or that it will not terminate its
agreement. The Collaborative Research Agreement with the University of British Columbia expired on August
31, 2004. The parties to the Collaborative Research Agreement have agreed on the principle terms
of a renegotiated agreement which will provide for an estimated annual budget of $295,000 (in
quarterly installments of $73,750) to allow for funding for one Ph.D. scientist and two support
technicians. In addition, the University will continue to provide GeneMax with access to
university laboratories and equipment at the University. As at the date of this filing,
approximately $803,953 (CDN) is due to University of British Columbia. To the date of this filing,
the University has continued the research activities associated with the Collaborative Research
Agreement, however, they are not obliged to continue to do so. To December 31, 2004, we have had made payments total payment of $115,490 to Crucell Holland
B.V. pursuant to the terms of the Research License and Option Agreement. However, a further
$60,864 ( 50,000) was due and payable on February 7, 2004 and a further $60,103 ( 50,000)
was due and payable on August 7, 2004, leaving $120,967 owing as of December 31, 2004 under the
terms of the agreement. To date, the company had not these amounts. Pursuant to the Research
License and Option Agreement, if a party defaults in the performance of or fails to be in
compliance with any material condition of this agreement, the Research License and Option Agreement
may be terminated if the default or noncompliance is not remedied or steps initiated to remedy
within three months after receipt in writing to the defaulting party. GeneMax has not received
notice of default from Crucell Holland. The company was in breach of its contractual obligations with Moleclar Medicine in respect of
payments due under the PSA for Phase I. The parties have agreed that advance payments that had
been made for subsequent 20

##### Table of Contents



phases could be allocated to the Phase I deficiency so that all payments that were due under
the PSA have now been paid in full and we have a $78,000 surplus which can be applied towards
subsequent phases of the project. Pursuant to the Biological Materials Transfer Agreement with the National Institute of Allergy
and Infectious Diseases, payments of $2,876 are now overdue, although the Public Health Service
(PHS) has not issued a notice of default. PHS may terminate this Agreement if the company is in
default in the performance of any material obligation under this Agreement, and if the default has
not been remedied within ninety days after the date of written notice by PHS of such default.  Preclinical testing and future clinical trials may take longer than anticipated, and we may
be unable to complete them at all. While management believes that the Phase I human clinical trials of the TAP Cancer Vaccine in
oncology will commence early in fiscal year 2006 there can be no assurances that they will occur on
this time frame, if at all. We may not commence or complete the pivotal clinical trials of the TAP
Cancer Vaccine or commence or complete clinical trials involving any other product candidates or
may not conduct them successfully. Further, our development costs will increase if we experience
any future delays in the preclinical trials or clinical trials for the TAP Cancer Vaccine or other
potential products or if we are required to perform additional or larger clinical trials than
currently planned. Any substantial delay of or the failure to complete the clinical trials would
have a material adverse effect upon our business. If testing of a particular product candidate does not yield successful results, then we will
be unable to commercialize that product. We must demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the TAP
Cancer Vaccine and its other potential products in humans through extensive preclinical and
clinical testing. We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, the
testing process that could delay or prevent commercialization of our product candidates. Further,
clinical testing is very expensive, the process takes many years, and the outcome is uncertain.
Unsuccessful results from preclinical and clinical testing will have a material adverse effect on
our business.  Our products and activities are subject to regulation by various governments and government
agencies. The testing of our products is subject to regulation by numerous governmental authorities,
principally the FDA and certain foreign regulatory agencies. Pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act, and the regulations promulgated there under, the FDA regulates the preclinical
and clinical testing, development, and commercialization of our potential products. Noncompliance
with applicable requirements can result in, among other consequences, fines, injunctions, civil
penalties, recall or seizure of products, repair, replacement or refund of the cost of products,
total or partial suspension of production, failure of the government to grant pre-market clearance
or pre-market approval for devices, withdrawal of marketing clearances or approvals, and criminal
prosecution. Government regulation imposes significant costs and restrictions on the development and
commercialization of our products and services. Our success will depend on our ability to satisfy
regulatory requirements. We may not receive required regulatory approvals on a timely basis, if at
all. Government agencies heavily regulate the production and sale of healthcare products and the
provision of healthcare services. In particular, the FDA and comparable agencies in foreign
countries must approve human therapeutic and diagnostic products before they are marketed, as well
as the facilities in which they are made. This approval process can involve lengthy and detailed
laboratory and clinical testing, sampling activities and other costly and time-consuming
procedures. Our failure to comply with applicable regulatory approval requirements may lead
regulatory authorities to take action against us, which may delay or cease the development and
commercialization of our product candidates. Therapies that have received regulatory approval for commercial sale may continue to face
regulatory difficulties. The FDA and comparable foreign regulatory agencies, may require
post-marketing clinical trials or patient outcome studies. In addition, regulatory agencies
subject a marketed therapy, its manufacturer and the 21

##### Table of Contents



manufacturers facilities to continual review and periodic inspections. The discovery of
previously unknown problems with a therapy, the therapys manufacturer or the facility used to
produce the therapy could prompt a regulatory authority to impose restrictions on the therapy,
manufacturer or facility, including withdrawal of the therapy from the market.  Competition in the human medical diagnostics industry is, and is expected to remain,
significant, and we may never obtain market acceptance of our product candidates. Competition in the cancer therapeutics field is intense and is accentuated by the rapid pace
of technological development. Our competitors range from development stage diagnostics companies to
major domestic and international pharmaceutical companies. Many of these companies have financial,
technical, marketing, sales, manufacturing, distribution and other resources significantly greater
than ours. In addition, many of these companies have name recognition, established positions in the
market and long standing relationships with customers and distributors. Moreover, the industry has
recently experienced a period of consolidation, during which many of the large domestic and
international pharmaceutical companies have been acquiring mid-sized diagnostics companies, further
increasing the concentration of resources. Our future success will depend on our ability to
effectively develop and market our product candidates against those of our competitors. If our
product candidates receive marketing approval, but cannot compete effectively in the marketplace,
our business and financial position would suffer greatly. There can be no assurance that
technologies will not be introduced that could be directly competitive with or superior to our
technologies. Market acceptance of the TAP Cancer Vaccine and our other product candidates is uncertain.
Even if the TAP Cancer Vaccine and other potential products are approved and sold, physicians may
not ultimately use them or may use them only in applications more restricted than we expect.
Physicians will only prescribe a product if they determine, based on experience, clinical data,
side effect profiles and other factors, that it is beneficial and preferable to other products and
treatments then in use. Many other factors influence the adoption of new products, including
marketing and distribution restrictions, course of treatment, adverse publicity, product pricing,
the views of thought leaders in the medical community, and reimbursement by third-party payers.
Failure to obtain market acceptance of our product candidates will have a material adverse effect
upon our business. We depend on key employees. Due to the specialized nature of our business, our success will be highly dependent upon our
ability to attract and retain qualified scientific and executive personnel. Our success depends
to a significant extent upon our key management, including Konstantine Sarafis, our President and
Chief Executive Officer, and Dr. Wilfred Jefferies, our Chief Scientific Officer. There can be no
assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel we require to
develop and market our product candidates and to conduct our operations successfully. Failure to
retain Mr. Sarafis or Dr. Jefferies would have a material adverse effect upon our business and our
shareholders.  Our success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and license patent rights, to
maintain trade secret protection and to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights
of others. Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection for the
technology underlying our product candidates, both in the United States and in other countries. We
cannot assure you that any of our current or future patent applications will result in issued
patents, or that any patents issued to us or licensed by us will not be challenged, invalidated or
held unenforceable. Further, we cannot guarantee that any patents issued to us will provide us
with a significant competitive advantage. If we fail to successfully enforce our proprietary
technology or otherwise maintain the proprietary nature of our intellectual property with respect
to our significant current and proposed products, it would have a material adverse effect upon our
business. We could incur substantial costs in defending the company or our licensees in litigation
brought by others who claim that we are infringing on their intellectual property rights. The
potential for reduced sales and increased legal expenses would have a negative impact on our cash
flow and thus our overall business could be adversely affected. 22

The testing, manufacturing and marketing of therapeutic medical technology entails an
inherent risk of product liability claims. To date, we have experienced no product liability claims, but any such claims arising in the
future could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. Potential product liability claims may exceed the amount of our insurance coverage or
may be excluded from coverage under the terms of our policy or limited by other claims under our
umbrella insurance policy. Additionally, there can be no assurance that our existing insurance can
be renewed by us at a cost and level of coverage comparable to that presently in effect, if at all.
In the event that we are held liable for a claim against which we are not insured or for damages
exceeding the limits of our insurance coverage, such claim could have a material adverse effect on
our cash flow and thus potentially have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations. We use hazardous materials in some of our research and development activities. Our research activities sometimes involve the controlled use of various hazardous materials.
Although we believe that our safety procedures for handling and disposing of such materials comply
with the standards prescribed by state and federal regulations, the risk of accidental
contamination or injury from these materials cannot be completely eliminated. We could be held
liable for any damages that might result from any such accident involving such hazardous materials.
Any such liability could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.  There has, to date, been no active public market for our common stock, and there can be no
assurance that an active public market will develop or be sustained. Our common stock has been traded on the OTC Bulletin Board since prior to the acquisition of
GeneMax Pharmaceuticals. Both before and since the acquisition, trading in our common stock has
been sporadic with insignificant volume. Moreover, the over-the-counter markets for securities of
very small companies historically have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These
broad market fluctuations and other factors, such as new product developments, trends in our
industry, the investment markets, economic conditions generally, and quarterly variation in our
results of operations, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, our
common stock is subject to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission regulating
broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Such rules require the
delivery prior to any penny stock transaction of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock
market and all associated risks and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers
who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors, which
are generally defined as institutions or an investor with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or
annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with the spouse. For these types of
transactions the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and
have received the purchasers written consent to the transaction prior to sale. The additional
burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from
effecting transactions in securities subject to the penny stock rules. We do not intend to pay any
cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Significant fluctuations in out
stock price may have a material adverse effect upon our shareholders. We are controlled by management. As of March 31, 2005, our officers and directors owned of record approximately 2,770,465 or
9.50% of the outstanding shares of common stock. If they exercise all of the options that they
currently hold, they will own 5,820,465, shares of our common stock or 18.06% of the then
outstanding shares of common stock. Due to their stock ownership, the officers and directors may
be in a position to elect the Board of Directors and to control our business and affairs, including
certain significant corporate actions such as acquisitions, the sale or purchase of assets and the
issuance and sale of the companys securities. The interest of our officers and directors may
differ from the interests of other shareholders. As of March 31, 2005, we had reserved 10,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance upon
exercise of options which have been or may be granted pursuant to our stock option plans, of which
options to purchase 23

##### Table of Contents



4,777,100 shares were outstanding as of March 31, 2005. Additionally, as of March 31, 2005,
there were 6,517,121 warrants outstanding to purchase our common stock. Sales of common stock
underlying these stock options and warrants would have a significant dilutive effect upon our
current shareholders and may adversely affect the price of the common stock. Pursuant to the terms and provisions of the 442668 B.C. Consulting Agreement, as defined
below, Dr. Jefferies had an anti-dilution mechanism pursuant to which Dr. Jefferies fully diluted
equity ownership interest would be modified to twenty-five percent (25%) of the total issued and
outstanding shares of common stock. The anti-dilution mechanism expired on December 31, 2007 and
was subject to the achievement of performance milestones to be mutually agreed upon us and Dr.
Jefferies and regulatory approvals of applicable jurisdictions. As of the date of this annual
report, the 442668 B.C. Consulting Agreement has been renegotiated and the anti-dilution mechanism
has been eliminated. 
 ITEM 7 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements listed in the accompanying index to the consolidated financial
statements are filed as part of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. 
 ITEM 8 CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS OF ACCOUNTING
AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE None. The companys principal independent accountant from November 9, 2000 until January 1, 2004 was
LaBonte & Co. Effective January 1, 2004, LaBonte & Co. merged with Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton
Chartered Accountants pursuant to which the name of the companys principal independent accountant
changed to Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton LaBonte. 
 ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of Konstantine
Sarafis, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Edward Farrauto, our Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the companys disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 240.13a-14c under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
Exchange Act) as of a date within ninety days before the filing date of this annual report (the
Evaluation Date)). Based on that evaluation, Mr. Sarafis and Mr. Farrauto concluded that the
companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange
Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
applicable SEC rules and forms. There have been no significant changes in the companys internal controls or in other factors
that could significantly affect the companys disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the
Evaluation Date, nor were there any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the
companys internal controls.

(DALE MATHESON LOGO) REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of GeneMax Corp. We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of GeneMax Corp. as at December 31, 2004 and 2003
and the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the years
then ended and for the period from July 27, 1999 (inception) to December 31, 2004. 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 an audit to obtain
reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows and the changes in stockholders equity for the years then ended and
for the period from July 27, 1999 (inception) to December 31, 2004 in accordance with United States
generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as
a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has a working
capital deficiency, a capital deficiency, has incurred significant losses since inception and
further losses are anticipated in the development of its products raising substantial doubt about
the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these
matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton LaBonte CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS Vancouver, B.C.

GENEMAX CORP.
(a development stage company) 
 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSDECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003NOTE 1  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 On May 9, 2002, GeneMax Corp. (GMC or the Company), a Nevada corporation entered into a
letter of intent to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of GeneMax
Pharmaceuticals Inc. (a development stage company) (GPI), in exchange for a total of 11,431,965
restricted shares of common stock of GMC. During July and August, 2002 the Company completed the
transaction pursuant to a definitive Share Exchange Agreement and issued 11,231,965 restricted
shares of common stock to the GPI stockholders and 200,000 shares of common stock as a finders
fee. This acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger. GPI is a private Delaware company incorporated July 27, 1999 which has a wholly-owned subsidiary,
GeneMax Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc. (GPC), a private British Columbia company incorporated May
12, 2000. GPI is a development stage company which was formed for the purpose of building a
biotechnology business specializing in the discovery and development of immunotherapeutics aimed at
the treatment and eradication of cancer, and therapies for infectious diseases, autoimmune
disorders and transplant tissue rejection. During 2000 GPI and the University of British Columbia (UBC) entered into a world-wide license
agreement providing GPI the exclusive license rights to certain patented and unpatented
technologies originally invented and developed by UBC. Also during 2000 GPI and UBC entered into a
Collaborative Research Agreement (CRA) appointing UBC to carry out further development of the
licensed technology and providing GPI the option to acquire the rights to commercialize any
additional technologies developed within the CRA in consideration for certain funding commitments.
The lead product resulting from these licenses is a cancer immunotherapy vaccine, on which the
Company has been completing pre-clinical work in anticipation of clinical trials. Specifically the
Company has advanced the technology through issuance of U.S. patents, tested various viral vectors
needed to deliver the gene that forms the basis for the vaccine, licensed a preferred viral vector
and contracted out production of a clinical grade vaccine. The Company plans to continue
development of the lead product vaccine (Transporters of Antigen Processing (TAP)) through
clinical trials. The other technologies licensed include assays, which the Company plans to use
for generation of a pipeline of immune-modulation products. The assay technology acquired has
received U.S. patent protection. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern which
contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business. As at December 31, 2004, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $2,516,203, a
capital deficiency of $2,440,130 and has incurred significant losses since inception and further
losses are anticipated in the development of its products raising substantial doubt as to the
Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern is dependent on raising additional capital to fund ongoing research and development and
ultimately on generating future profitable operations. Costs relating to future clinical trials of
the Companys cancer immunotherapy vaccine are a part of normal product development and
advancement. Since internally generated cash flow will not fund development and commercialization
of the Companys products, the Company will require significant additional financial resources and
will be dependant on future financings to fund its ongoing research and development as well as
other working capital requirements. The Companys future capital requirements will depend on many
factors including the rate and extent of scientific progress in its research and development
programs, the timing, cost and scope involved in its clinical trials, obtaining regulatory
approvals and pursuing further patent protections and the timing and costs of its commercialization
activities. Management continues to raise capital through private placements and loans as required to meet its
operating budgets. Subsequent to December 31, 2004 gross proceeds of $1,360,245 were raised via
equity private placements (refer to Note 10). The Companys operations and financing requirements
are expected to expand upon entering clinical trials with its TAP cancer vaccine. NOTE 2  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements have been presented in United States dollars and prepared
in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP). F - 10

GENEMAX CORP.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(a development stage company)DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003NOTE 2  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd)
 Principles of Consolidation The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries GPI
and GPC as described in Note 1. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are
eliminated on consolidation. Use of Estimates and Assumptions Preparation of the Companys financial statements in conformity with United States generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
estimates. Significant areas requiring managements estimates and assumptions are determining the
fair value of stock-based compensation, the fair value of the components of the convertible notes
payable and the useful life of furniture and equipment. Furniture and Equipment Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed at the following rates over
the estimated useful lives of the assets: Office furniture and equipment  36 months straight-line;
Laboratory equipment  60 months straight-line Deferred Finance Fees The Company defers direct costs incurred in connection with the sale of common shares which are
offset against the proceeds of the financing upon completion. Costs incurred in connection with
Convertible loans payable are deferred and amortized as a financing cost over the term of the
convertible loans. Upon conversion of the loan, any unamortized amount of deferred financing costs
will be charged to stockholders equity as a cost of financing. Research and Development Costs The Company has acquired exclusive development and marketing rights to certain technologies through
various License Agreements and Research Agreements as described in Note 3. The rights and license
acquired are considered rights to unproven technology which may not have alternate future uses and
therefore, have been expensed as incurred as research and development costs. Also, ongoing costs
incurred in connection with the Collaborative Research Agreement are considered costs incurred in
the development of unproven technology which may not have alternate future uses and therefore, have
been expensed as incurred as research and development costs. Fair Value of Financial Instruments In accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, the Company has determined the estimated fair
value of financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation
methodologies. The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities
including cash, loans and accounts payable and amounts due to related parties approximate carrying
values due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. Foreign Currency Translation The financial statements are presented in United States dollars. In accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, foreign denominated monetary
assets and liabilities are translated into their United States dollar equivalents using foreign
exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at
average rates of exchange during the year. Related translation adjustments are reported as a
separate component of stockholders equity, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency
transactions are included in results of operations. Income Taxes The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method,
deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective
income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities
of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
At December 31, 2004 a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no
deferred tax asset benefit has been recorded. F - 11

 Net Loss Per Common Share Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available
to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Dilutive earnings (loss) per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in
the earnings of the Company. The accompanying presentation is only of basic loss per share as the
potentially dilutive factors are anti-dilutive to basic loss per share. Stock-Based Compensation In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Accounting
Standard No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation  Transition and Disclosure (SFAS No.
148), an amendment of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation (SFAS No. 123). The purpose of SFAS No. 148 is to: (1) provide alternative methods
of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting
for stock-based employee compensation, (2) amend the disclosure provisions to require prominent
disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entitys accounting policy decisions with
respect to stock-based employee compensation, and (3) to require disclosure of those effects in
interim financial information. The disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 were effective for the
Company for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the required disclosures have been made below. The Company has elected to continue to account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements
in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, (APB No. 25) and comply with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No.
123 as amended by SFAS No. 148 as described above. In addition, in accordance with SFAS No. 123
the Company applies the fair value method using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model in
accounting for options granted to consultants. Under APB No. 25, compensation expense for employees
is recognized based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant between the estimated fair
value of the Companys stock and the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.
Compensation expense is recognized immediately for past services and pro-rata for future services
over the option-vesting period. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Company applies the fair value method using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model in accounting for options granted to consultants. The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per
share as if the Company had accounted for its for stock-based employee compensation using the fair
value provisions of SFAS No. 123 using the assumptions as described in Note 7: For the year ended December 31,2004

 The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services
from other than employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and the conclusions reached by the
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) in Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are
Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services
(EITF 96-18). Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration
received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably
measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services
is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the
provider of goods or services as defined by EITF 96-18. The Company has also adopted the provisions of the FASB No. 44, Accounting for Certain
Transactions Involving Stock Compensation  An Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25 (FIN 44),
which provides guidance as to certain applications of APB 25. FIN 44 is generally effective July
1, 2000 with the exception of certain events occurring after December 15, 1998. F-12

GENEMAX CORP.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(a development stage company)DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003NOTE 2  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment, which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an
entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. A key provision of this statement
is the requirement of a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange
for an award of equity instruments (including stock options) based on the grant date fair value of
the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to
provide service in exchange for the award (i.e., the requisite service period or vesting period).
This standard becomes effective for the Company for its first annual or interim period ended on or
after December 15, 2005. The Company will adopt SFAS 123R no later than the beginning of the
Companys fourth quarter ending December 31, 2005. Management is currently evaluating the
potential impact that the adoption of SFAS 123R will have on the Companys financial position and
results of operations. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, an amendment of
APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions(SFAS 153) SFAS 153 requires that
exchanges of non-monetary assets are to be measured based on fair value and eliminates the
exception for exchanges of non-monetary, similar productive assets, and adds an exemption for
non-monetary exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFAS 153 will be effective for fiscal
periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not believe that the adoption of this
standard will have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations. NOTE 3  RESEARCH AGREEMENTS
 University of British Columbia (UBC) Effective September 14, 1999 GPI entered into an Option Agreement (Option) whereby UBC granted
GPI an option to obtain a world-wide license from UBC providing GPI the exclusive license rights to
certain patented and unpatented cancer immuno-therapy technologies originally invented and
developed by UBC. The Option was for a term of 180 days and prior to being eligible to exercise
the Option, GPI was to make a reasonable commercial effort to raise equity funding in an amount not
less than CAN$1,000,000 to fund ongoing research and issue 500,000 founders common shares to UBC
and an additional 3,600,000 founders common shares to certain principals involved in the UBC
research. Having satisfied all of the conditions on or before March 6, 2000, GPI exercised the
Option and obtained from UBC, the exclusive license rights as described above for meeting the
specific terms of the Option plus a further payment of $78,743. The License will terminate after
15 years or upon the expiration of the last patent obtained relating to the licensed technology.
The cost of obtaining any patents will be the responsibility of GPI. The technology remains the
property of UBC, however, it may be utilized and improved by GPI. Concurrent with the execution of
the license the head researcher at UBC became a director of GPI. GPI and UBC entered into a Collaborative Research Agreement (CRA) dated September 1, 2000
appointing UBC to carry out further development of the licensed technology and providing GPI the
option to acquire the rights to commercialize any additional technologies developed within the CRA
in consideration for certain funding commitments totaling CAN$498,980 to be paid in four equal
installments of CAN$124,725 due upon execution of the CRA, September 30, 2000, January 1, 2001 and
March 31, 2001 of which $374,215 was paid. Through a series of amendments between November 28,
2000 and September 9, 2002, the funding commitment was increased to a total of CAN$ 2,973,049 of
which CAN$991,515 was to be paid for the year ended December 31, 2002, CAN$1,135,801 to be paid in
2003 and CAN$471,518 to be paid in 2004. As at December 31, 2004 CAN$235,759 (2003  CAN$471,518)
is payable in connection with the original CRA terms. In addition, as required by the CRA, GPI has
purchased certain laboratory equipment in connection with the ongoing research. The CRA ended on
its scheduled termination date of August 31, 2004. For the period from September 1, 2004 to
December 31, 2004 the Company recorded a further CAN$568,195 in connection with ongoing research
and patent activities and cost overruns on the original CRA with UBC resulting in a total of
CAN$803,954 owing to UBC as at December 31, 2004. Subsequent to year end, the Company and UBC negotiated a one year extension of the CRA commencing
March 1, 2005 with a total funding commitment by the Company of $294,696. In addition, the Company
and UBC agreed on a payment schedule for the new CRA amount and the December 31, 2004 payable
totalling CAN$1,098,650 as follows; CAN$408,674 on execution of the definitive agreement;
CAN$173,674 on each of May 1, August 1 and December 1, 2005; CAN$100,000 on March 1, 2006 and

GENEMAX CORP.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(a development stage company)DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003NOTE 5 CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE (contd)
 The Company also incurred $74,100 of costs in connection with this financing resulting in a total
of $89,100 being recorded as deferred finance fees. These costs will be expensed over the term of
the convertible promissory notes or the remaining unamortized amount will be charged to
stockholders equity if the notes are converted. As of December 31, 2004, $48,300 of the deferred
finance fees have been expensed. As at December 31 2004 $21,667 of accrued and unpaid interest is
included in accounts payable. The fair value of the convertible promissory notes at issuance was estimated to be $450,000 based
on an estimated fair value interest rate on debt with comparable risk profiles of 20%. As a
result, the fair value of the equity component of this instrument (comprised of the common stock
purchase warrants and the debt conversion feature) was estimated to be the remaining $50,000. The
equity component was attributed entirely to the common stock purchase warrants and recorded as a
separate component of stockholders equity as the conversion feature did not to have a beneficial
intrinsic value and its fair value was otherwise determined not to be material. The Company will
record a further interest expense over the term of the notes of $50,000 resulting from the
difference between the stated and fair value interest rates such that the carrying value of the
notes will be increased to the face value of $500,000 at maturity. To December 31, 2004 a further
interest expense of $27,100 has been accrued resulting in a carrying value of the notes of
$477,100. Subsequent to year end the Company amended certain terms of these convertible notes payable (refer
to Note 10). NOTE 6 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 Effective December 31, 2003 the Board of Directors of the Company approved the amendment of an
existing consulting agreement for research and development services and an existing management

terms of the amended agreements, the two directors will be paid monthly amounts of CAN$15,158 and
CAN$13,375, commencing January 1, 2004 for terms ending February 1, 2005 and March 6, 2006
respectively. In 2003 the Board of Directors of the Company agreed to grant to Dr. Wilf Jefferies, one of the

GENEMAX CORP.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(a development stage company)DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
 There were no temporary differences between the Companys tax and financial bases that result in
deferred tax assets, except for the Companys net operating loss carryforwards amounting to
approximately $8,900,000 at December 31, 2004 (2003  $6,400,000) which may be available to reduce
future years taxable income. These carryforwards will expire, if not utilized, commencing in
2008. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these deferred tax assets
appears uncertain due to the Companys limited operating history and continuing losses.
Accordingly a full, deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax
asset benefit has been recorded. NOTE 9  LEGAL SETTLEMENT
 The Company has requested that its former transfer agent, X-Clearing Corp. (X-Clearing), deliver
company documents to a new transfer agent. X-Clearing has claimed a security lien on company
documents. Following filing of a complaint by the Company, a preliminary court hearing was held in
Denver CO on September 22, 2004, following which both sides agreed to attempt a voluntary mediation
process. A resolution was not achieved in the mediation process and the Company reinstituted court
action to retrieve its records. The preliminary hearing court determination indicated that by
providing proper notice of termination and posting of a bond in the amount of $250,000, it would
likely cause X-Clearing to transfer the records of the Company to a new transfer agent. The
Company has settled its lawsuit against X-Clearing as set forth at a hearing held March 18, 2005.
As part of the settlement, the Company agreed to pay X-Clearing a total of $200,000 which has been
accrued as at December 31, 2004. The amount is payable in two equal instalments the first of which
is due upon the ability of the new transfer agent to act for the Company and the second of which is
payable upon X-Clearing meeting certain conditions as outlined in the settlement.
 NOTE 10  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 The Company completed a financing of 9,068,301 units at a price of $0.15 per unit for gross
proceeds of $1,360,245. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one-half of a common share
purchase warrant. Each whole common share purchase warrant entitles the holder to acquire an
additional common share of the Company for a period of two years at a price of $0.15 before the
earlier of four months from the issue date of the warrant and the date the Company completes an
additional financing of not less than $2,000,000, $0.30 for the balance of the first year and
thereafter at $0.50. Finders fees comprised of 8% cash and 5% finders warrants were paid to
certain registered dealer brokers in respect of certain of the placees. The Company paid a total
of $97,620 in finders fees and issued a total of 406,748 finders warrants. The Company amended the terms of the convertible notes payable to extend the maturity to April 28,
2006, reduce the conversion price from $0.60 to $0.30 and to reduce the warrant exercise price from
$0.66 to $0.30 for the period to December 31, 2005 and to $0.50 for the remainer of the original
warrant term. In addition the term of the warrants will be extended for a period of greater than
the original two years up to a maximum of ten years dependent on the Company obtaining certain
listing status as per the amending agreement. The Companys COO was appointed President, CEO and a director effective February 8, 2005. The
Company and the CEO entered into a management agreement for a term ending December 31, 2007 at an
amount of CAN$170,000 for the first year and for amounts to be determined by the Companys
compensation committee thereafter. In addition, the CEO agreed to settle all amounts due from the
Company totalling $80,890 for a cash payment of CAN$24,267. The Company has also agreed to issue
to the CEO 500,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an agreed price of CAN$0.15 per share
and a further 1,400,000 options at a price to be determined. The Company entered into a new consulting agreement with Dr. Jefferies for a term ending December
31, 2007 at an amount of CAN$10,700 per month. The Company has also agreed to grant to Dr.
Jefferies options to acquire 2,500,000 shares of the Companys common stock at a price to be
determined. In addition, Dr. Jefferies agreed to settle all amounts due from the Company totalling
$113,025 in exchange for 452,100 shares of the Companys common stock. The Company entered into a new month to month consulting agreement with the Companys former
President and CEO at an amount of CAN$8,916 per month. In addition, the former CEO agreed to
settle all amounts due from the Company totalling $107,000 for a cash payment of CAN$32,100. The
