Notes To Financial Statements - Unaudited

1.  
Basis of presentation. The accompanying financial statements, which should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, are unaudited, but have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
 
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2009.
 
2.  
Financial Condition. Our viability as a company is dependent upon successful commercialization of products resulting from its research and product development activities. We plan on working with commercial development partners in the United States and in other parts of the world to provide the necessary sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to successfully commercialize the interferon alpha product for both human and animal applications.  Our products will require significant additional development, laboratory and clinical testing and investment prior to obtaining regulatory approval to commercially market its product(s). Accordingly, for at least the next few years, we will continue to incur research and development and general and administrative expenses and may not generate sufficient revenues from product sales to support its operations.
 
3.  
Common Stock.  The shareholders have authorized 100,000,000 shares of voting common shares for issuance.  On March 31, 2009, a total of 69,402,558 shares of common stock were and outstanding (41,610,146) and reserved (27,792,412) for issuance upon exercise of options and warrants.  Common stock issuances in the first quarter of 2009 are as follows:
 
Common Stock Issued in Q1 2009
 
Shares
   
Issue Price
   
Net Price
 
Private placements – cash
    3, 3,550,000      $ 0.10      $ 320,000  
Directors, officers, consultants plan – cash
    62,500       0.08       5,000  
Directors, officers, consultants plan – salaries
    1,407,905       0.05-0.08       105,846  
Directors, officers, consultants plan – services
    636,364       0.06       35,000  
   Total Common Stock Issued in Q1 2009
    5,656,769     $ 0.05-0.10     $ 465,846  

Finders’ fees totaled $35,000 during the first quarter of 2009.  Net price above reflects net proceeds after finders’ fees are deducted.  Private placement stock issued during the first quarter of 2009 included 100% warrant coverage (3,550,000 warrants) with $0.10 – $0.20 exercise price and 3-year term.
 
4.  
Common Stock Options.  We recognized $74,048 of employee options expense, related to previously issued options, during the first quarter of 2009.  The remaining cost expected to be recognized if these options vest is $436,558.
 
No options were exercised during the first three months of 2009.

5.  
Common Stock Warrants.   We are at risk of triggering the warrant anti-dilution provisions of previously issued warrants if we sell stock below $0.10 per share to any non-exempt parties.  Options and warrants issued prior to January 8, 2008 plus officers, directors and consultants under stock plans approved by outside board of director members are exempt from the anti-dilution provisions.  During the first quarter of 2009, 3,550,000 warrants were issued in connection with private placement sales of 3,550,000 shares of stock.  The 3-year warrants are exercisable from $0.10 to $0.20 per share.
 
Warrants issued in connection with a preferred stock financing in the first quarter of 2008 (“Firebird warrants”) have an embedded derivative feature (full-ratchet anti-dilution provision).   GAAP accounting regulation EITF 07-5 requires reclassification of the warrants to liabilities at fair value on January 1, 2009 and subsequent reporting of the change in fair value.  The binomial Black-Scholes pricing model was used to calculate the value of the warrants.  In the binomial model, the most likely price which will trigger the anti-dilution ratchet and the most likely price that will not trigger the anti-dilution ratchet are given estimated probabilities for occurrence.  The probability of private placement issuances triggering a reset at the closing stock price on January 1 and  March 31, 2009 was estimated as 50% on each date.  The probability of not triggering the reset at $0.10 per share was also estimated as 50%.  Valuation consists of 50% of the Black-Scholes value for each probable occurrence. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was utilized with the following  assumptions: dividend yield 0.0%, expected volatility of 138% - 164%, risk-free interest rate of 0.76% – 0.81% and expected life of 2 years.   The valuation for the 13.2 million warrants with embedded features was $658,080 on January 1, 2009 and $782,804 on March 31, 2009.   $658,080 was reclassified from the retained earnings account to the derivative liabilities account on January 1, 2009 as the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the change in fair value of derivative instruments was recorded as an expense and the derivative liabilities account increased to $782,804.
 
  6.
Notes Payable.  Two $1,000,000 notes are payable under an unsecured loan agreement with HBL dated July 22, 1999.  Although we are currently in default of the notes, HBL has not demanded payment.
 
  7.
Line of Credit.   We have a line of credit with Wells Fargo for $20,000, with an interest rate of prime rate plus 6.75 percent.  There was an outstanding balance on March 31, 2009 of $4,776 which is included in accounts payable.
 
  8.
License and Sublicense Agreements.  During the first quarter of 2009, a $782 license fees was received.  A $391 sublicense fee payable to HBL was recorded in the first quarter of 2009.  A $7,500 minimum cash royalty fee payable to Texas A&M University System was recorded in the first quarter of 2009.
 
On February 6, 2009, we entered into a 15-year License and Supply agreement with Cyto Biotech, Inc. a Taipei, Taiwan animal health company.   Cyto Biotech purchased common stock, included in the above issuances in Amarillo Biosciences; paid an initial license fee; and will pay a royalty on low dose oral interferon sales. 
 
  9.
Related Party Transactions.  The Company engaged the law firm of Underwood, Wilson, Berry, Stein and Johnson  P.C. of which Mr. Morris is a shareholder.  Mr. Morris is also the Secretary of the Company. During the first quarter, 2009 the Company incurred approximately $6,785 of legal fees from the Underwood Law Firm.  Dr. Steve Chen, Director, referred the Company to Cyto Biotech and collected a $30,000 finder’s fee for the $300,000 stock purchase by Cyto Biotech.

  10.
Subsequent Events.  Since March 31, 2009, the Company sold 2,170,000 unregistered shares of common stock for $0.10 per share together with 2,170,000 warrants with 3-year term and exercisable at $0.10 per share.  In addition, 40,290 unregistered shares of common stock were sold for $0.10 per share plus 419,367 unregistered shares were paid to an officer in lieu of salary for $0.10 per share.  Net proceeds totaled $216,029 cash plus $41,937 of salaries.  A broker was paid a $5,000 commission.
 
The 2009A Officers, Directors, Employees and Consultants Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan was adopted on April 28, 2009 by the Board of Directors.   The Plan Committee approved the grant of 1,600,000 stock options exercisable at $0.125 to officers, directors and employees on April 30, 2009.
 
A former director was hired subsequent to March 31, 2009 as a consultant in the areas of financing, merger & acquisition and management compensation and retention.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto which appear elsewhere in this report.  The results shown herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future periods.  This discussion contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations, which involve uncertainties.  Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors.  Readers should also carefully review factors set forth in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Company Goal – FDA Approval and Commercialization of Oral Interferon.
 
Amarillo Biosciences, Inc. (OTCBB: AMAR), is the world leader in the development of low-dose interferon for oral delivery and is conducting Phase 2 clinical studies testing oral interferon in animal and human diseases. We have changed our focus from Orphan Diseases (small markets) to treatment of diseases with large markets to attract large pharma partners.  Our funding strategy is to seek private placement funding to complete Phase 2 clinical studies for chronic cough in COPD patients, hepatitis C and influenza; then seek large pharma partners to fund and help with the regulatory approval process in the US and Europe.  We believe that our technology and the large billion dollar markets for these disease indications will attract global pharma partners later this year or sometime next year.
 
Intellectual Property
 
Our portfolio consists of patents with claims that encompass method of use or treatment with interferon and composition of matter and manufacturing.  We currently own or license nine patents and four pending patents related to low-dose orally delivered interferon, and one issued patent on our dietary supplement.  We have completed more than 100 pre-clinical (animal) and human studies of the safety and efficacy of low-dose orally delivered interferon.
 
Technology - Non-toxic Interferon
 
Injectable interferon is FDA-approved to treat some neoplastic, viral and autoimmune diseases.  Many patients experience moderate to severe side effects that result in discontinuance of  injectable interferon therapy. Our product is a natural human interferon alpha delivered into the oral cavity as a lozenge in low (nanogram) doses. The lozenge dissolves in the mouth

where interferon binds to surface (mucosal) cells in the mouth and throat resulting in stimulation of immune mechanisms.  Orally delivered interferon has been shown to activate hundreds of immune system genes in the peripheral blood.  Human studies have shown that oral interferon is effective against viral and autoimmune diseases. Oral interferon is given in concentrations 10,000 times less than that given by injection resulting in almost no side effects.
 
Influenza
 
Influenza (the flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses.  It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death.  Influenza usually starts suddenly and may include the following symptoms: 1) fever (usually high), 2) headache, 3) tiredness (can be extreme), 4) cough, 5) sore throat, 6) runny or stuffy nose, 7) body aches, and 8) digestive problems such as diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.  Complications of flu can include bacterial pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections, dehydration, and worsening of chronic medical conditions, such as congestive heart failure, asthma, or diabetes.
 
Flu viruses spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing.   Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.  Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 days after becoming sick.  That means that a person may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before they know they are sick, as well as while they are sick.
 
Influenza A viruses are divided into subtypes based on 2 proteins on the surface of the virus: the hemagglutinin (H) and the neuraminidase (N).  There are 16 different H subtypes and 9 different N subtypes, all of which have been found among influenza A viruses in wild birds.  Wild birds are the primary natural reservoir for all subtypes of influenza A viruses and are thought to be the source of influenza A viruses in all other animals.  Most influenza viruses cause asymptomatic or mild infection in birds; however, the range of symptoms in birds varies greatly depending on the strain of virus.  Infection with certain avian influenza A viruses (for example, some strains of H5 and H7 viruses) can cause widespread disease and death among some species of wild and especially domestic birds such as chickens and turkeys.
 
Pigs can be infected with both human and avian influenza viruses in addition to swine influenza viruses.  Infected pigs get symptoms similar to humans, such as cough, fever and runny nose.  Because pigs are susceptible to avian, human and swine influenza viruses, they potentially may be infected with influenza viruses of different species (e.g., ducks and humans) at the same time.  If this happens, it is possible for the genes of these viruses to mix and create a new virus.  For example if a pig were infected with a human influenza virus and an avian influenza virus at the same time, the viruses could mix (reassort) and produce a new virus with most of the genes from the human virus, but a hemagglutinin and/or neuraminidase from the avian virus.  The resulting new virus would likely to be able to infect humans and spread from person to person, but it would have surface proteins (hemagglutinin and/or neuraminidase) not previously seen in influenza viruses that infect humans.  This type of major change in the influenza A viruses is known as antigenic shift.  Antigenic shift results when a new influenza A subtype to which most people have little or no immune protection infects humans.  If this new virus causes illness in people and can be transmitted easily from person to person, an influenza pandemic can occur.
 

 
9

 

Influenza A viruses are found in many different animals, including ducks, chickens, pigs, whales, horses and seals.  Influenza B viruses circulate widely only among humans. While it is unusual for people to get influenza infections directly from animals, sporadic human infections and outbreaks caused by certain avian influenza A viruses have been reported.
 
A number of natural outbreak or challenge studies indicate that low doses of IFNα given orally and/or intranasally are safe and effective at treating human flu.  IFNα administered intranasally coats the oropharynx and comes in contact with the same receptors as IFNα administered orally.  Leukocyte interferon was given in low doses intranasally for 3 consecutive days to 374 subjects “at the height” of an influenza outbreak.  Interferon-treated subjects had less severe illness than 382 subjects given placebo.  When interferon was given to 320 subjects “before” the influenza outbreak, these subjects had less illness than the 317 subjects given placebo.  It was reported that the interferon treatment was free of adverse events.
 
In 1969, approximately 14,000 people in Moscow participated in controlled studies of placebo versus interferon treatment during a natural outbreak of Hong Kong influenza.  Interferon (about 128 units) or placebo was dripped into the nose daily for 5 days starting about the time of the first reported influenza cases.  Interferon treatment significantly (P<0.01) reduced the number of influenza cases. Intranasal drops of human interferon alpha (5,000 units daily) given for 4 months reduced the frequency and severity of diseases due to influenza A (H3N2 and H1N1) and parainfluenza virus.  Data was collected on 83 volunteers in the study.  Fever occurred in 6 of 40 volunteers given interferon and in 15 of 43 volunteers given placebo (P<0.01).  Subjective symptoms such as headache, cough, fatigue, anorexia, myalgia, etc. occurred in 34% of volunteers given interferon and in 67% of volunteers given placebo (P<0.01).
 
In 1982, it was reported that human leukocyte interferon (10,000 units/day) or placebo was dripped into the nostrils of 27 children daily for 60 days.  The children lived in an orphanage where natural outbreaks of influenza A and influenza B occurred during the treatment period.  Interferon did not prevent illness but significantly reduced the duration of fever and reduced the main peak fever.  Clinical manifestations of influenza were milder in children given interferon compared to placebo.  Adverse events due to interferon therapy were not observed.
 
During influenza epidemics in 1983, 1984 and 1985, 140 children were treated with a spray of natural human interferon alpha into the nose and mouth twice daily for 3-4 days.  The total daily dose was reported to be 700-1600 units.  The 53 control children were given traditional Chinese herbs.  Children given interferon had a significantly (P<0.01) faster normalization of temperature at 24, 36 and 48 hours after the first treatment.  The clinicians reported that pharyngitis and lymphadenosis of the posterior pharynx improved when fever subsided.
 
Low doses of interferon probably do not have a direct antiviral effect but instead exert an immune modulatory effect through interferon stimulated genes.  Influenza studies conducted in the USA, Australia and Germany have shown that oral interferon protects mice against an otherwise fatal influenza infection.
 
Influenza/Cold FDA Phase 2 Study (mostly funded by Australian government)
 
The University of Western Australia has started a Phase 2 clinical study of oral interferon as prevention/treatment of respiratory illnesses, including influenza.   We provided the study drug, electronic data collection service, and US regulatory support for the study.  Up to 200 healthy volunteers with high levels of anticipated occupational exposure to respiratory viruses will take oral interferon or placebo lozenges once daily for 16 weeks, with an additional 4 weeks of untreated observation. Once per week, the study volunteers will submit a
 

 
10

 

report detailing the severity of any cold/flu symptoms experienced, any medications taken, number of days of work missed, etc.  The aim of the study is to determine whether the volunteers who take oral interferon experience fewer respiratory illnesses and/or less severe symptoms during the winter cold/flu season in Australia (June-August).  Final results of the study are expected soon after the study ends in  October 2009.
 
Two publications in the April issue of the Journal of Virology report that interferon placed in the nose of guinea pigs or ferrets suppresses replication of influenza virus.  These publications reinforce our view that low-dose interferon, in the nose or in the mouth, is protective against influenza in humans.
 
In the March 20, 2009 issue of Science (page 1560-1561), flu experts stated “Our ability to anticipate pandemic events is poor, and our anti-pandemic armamentarium is weak.  In an ever-shifting landscape of influenza evolution, we need to be farsighted and forceful in optimizing pandemic response capacity.”
 
We believe low-dose oral interferon alpha will help people overcome pandemic influenza.  The present swine flu epidemic threatens to endanger millions of people.  The WHO predicted (May 7, 2009) that 2 billion people could be infected by this new swine flu.
 
Chronic Cough – COPD – FDA Phase 2 ongoing, funding sought for a second study
 
COPD affects approximately 10% of the world population over 40, is a growing problem, and is the 4th leading cause of death in the world.  Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a clinical condition with a progressive airflow limitation that is poorly reversible and characteristic of chronic bronchitis and emphysema.  The causes of COPD include tobacco smoke, occupational dusts, chemicals, vapors and environmental pollutants.  COPD is estimated to affect more that 600 million people worldwide. There are no effective therapies for emphysema, nor are there efficient clinical management strategies.
 
Data from a Phase 2 clinical study at Texas Tech University shows that treatment with oral interferon leads to a rapid and significant reduction in the cough associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), resulting in improved quality of life.  Blinded, controlled studies in the US and Canada showed that oral interferon relieves chronic coughing in horses with COPD-like disease. We have 9 patents and 4 patents pending, including a patent pending for oral interferon treatment of chronic cough. Oral interferon treatment of cough is expected to improve quality of life of COPD patients.
 
A proof-of-concept study of low-dose oral interferon as treatment of chronic cough is ongoing at Texas Tech University. This experimental clinical study is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel trial in which 40 eligible volunteers with IPF or COPD-associated chronic cough will be randomly assigned to one of two groups in equal numbers to receive either oral interferon or placebo lozenges. Treatment will be given three times daily for 4 weeks, and patients will be followed for 4 weeks post-treatment to assess durability of response. The study will evaluate the ability of oral interferon to reduce the frequency and severity of chronic cough, compared to placebo.
 
We are seeking funding to complete an expanded proof-of-concept study of low-dose oral interferon for treatment of chronic cough. A successful Phase 2 proof-of-concept study in COPD patients is anticipated to generate interest from potential big pharma partners, which should result in milestone payments and royalties for the Company.

Hepatitis C FDA Phase 2 (funded by Cytopharm)
 
CytoPharm, Inc., our licensee for Taiwan and China, will be launching a Phase 2, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study of 165 hepatitis C virus-infected patients in Taiwan in the second quarter of 2009.  The study is designed to test the ability of oral interferon to reduce the virologic relapse rate of patients who have completed standard therapy with pegylated interferon plus ribavirin.  Results are expected by the end of 2010.

Behcet’s Disease - FDA Phase 2 completed
 
Behcet’s disease is a severe chronic relapsing inflammatory disorder marked by oral and genital ulcers, eye inflammation (uveitis) and skin lesions, as well as varying multisystem involvement including the joints, blood vessels, central nervous system, and gastrointestinal tract. The oral lesions are an invariable sign, occurring in all patients at some time in the disease. Behcet’s disease is found world-wide, and is a significant cause of partial or total disability. The US patient population has been estimated as 15,000. The FDA’s Office of Orphan Drugs has granted AMAR orphan drug status for low dose orally administered Interferon-alpha treatment in this condition.
 
NOBEL ILAC SANAYII VE TICARET A.S. (“Nobel”), our licensee, completed a double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial in Turkey in 2008 with 84 Behcet’s disease patients randomized out of an initial target of 90.  While safety was confirmed, no significant differences were found between the treatment groups with respect to the primary or secondary study endpoints.
 
Oral Warts in HIV+ Patients – FDA Phase 2 ongoing, funded by AMAR
 
Oral warts are lesions in the mouth caused by the human papillomavirus. The FDA has granted Orphan Drug Designation to us for interferon in the treatment of oral warts in HIV+ patients. In Phase 1/2 clinical studies of 36 HIV+ patients with multiple oral warts who were receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), efficacy of oral interferon was observed when some subjects achieved a complete or nearly complete regression of their warts.
 
We have concluded enrollment of  a placebo-controlled, Phase 2  24-weekstudy. A total of 59 oral warts patients were enrolled at 10 active clinical sites.  Treatment of ongoing patients and collection of data will be completed  by the end of 2009. If the results of the current study are positive, a partner will be sought to fund further clinical development, which would include a Phase 3 trial to confirm safety and efficacy.
 
Strategic Alliance with HBL. Hayashibara Biochemical Laboratories, Inc. (“HBL”) was established in 1970 to engage in research and development. It is a subsidiary of Hayashibara Company, Ltd., a privately-owned Japanese holding corporation with diversified subsidiaries. For more than 130 years the Hayashibara Company, Ltd. and its predecessors have been applying microbiological technology in the starch industry for the production of maltose and other sugars.
 
In 1981, HBL established the Fujisaki Institute to accelerate development of industrial methods for the production of biologics and to sponsor clinical trials for such products. In 1985, HBL built the Fujisaki Cell Center to support basic research. In 1987, HBL successfully accomplished the mass production of human cells in an animal host by producing human cells in hamsters. This made it possible to economically produce a natural form of human interferon alpha and other biologics. HBL also has developed and obtained patents for technology relating to the production of interferon  alpha-containing lozenges by which the stability of the interferon alpha activity can be maintained for up to 24 months at room temperature and
 

 
12

 

up to five years if the product is refrigerated. We believe that the use of such lozenges gives it advantages over competitive technologies in terms of cost, taste and ease of handling. On March 13, 1992, we entered into a Joint Development and Manufacturing/Supply Agreement with HBL (the “Development Agreement”). Such Development Agreement was subsequently amended on January 17, 1996; May 10, 1996; and September 7, 2001.  The current expiration date of the Development Agreement is March 12, 2011, at which time it will automatically renew for an additional three (3) years, unless the parties agree otherwise. Among other things, the Development Agreement provides us with a source of natural human interferon alpha for use in the Company’s interferon alpha-containing products.
 
Strategic Alliance with Nobel.  We signed a licensing and supply agreement in September 2004 with a Turkish pharmaceutical company, NOBEL ILAC SANAYII VE TICARET A.S., providing the rights to oral low-dose interferon-alpha for the treatment of Behcet’s disease in Turkey and in Azerbaijan, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrghyzstan, Macedonia, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Slovenia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
 
Under the terms of the agreement, Amarillo and NOBEL will conduct Behcet’s disease studies in Turkey under an Investigating New Drug (IND) Application submitted by ABI to the U.S. FDA. U.S. FDA approval will be sought and this FDA approval will be owned by ABI, but will be used by NOBEL to seek regulatory approval in each country to which the licensing rights apply.  
 
Strategic Alliance with Bumimedic.  In January 2006 we entered into a license and distribution agreement with Bumimedic (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd, a Malaysian pharmaceutical company that is a part of the Antah HealthCare Group, to market our low-dose interferon (natural human IFN) in Malaysia. Bumimedic will seek registration for our natural human IFN and commence marketing the product after approval. The terms of the agreement call for Bumimedic to manufacture lozenges from our bulk natural human IFN (which is supplied by Hayashibara Biochemical Laboratories); package the lozenges and distribute them to local hospitals, pharmacies and clinics in Malaysia. Pursuant to the agreement, we will receive a series of payments, in three stages: upon formal execution of the distribution agreement, upon regulatory approval, and upon production. We will also receive a royalty on the sale of the natural human IFN.
 
Strategic Alliance with CytoPharm.  In November 2006, we entered into a License and Supply Agreement with CytoPharm, Inc., a Taipei, Taiwan-based biopharmaceutical company whose parent company is Vita Genomics, Inc., the largest biotech company in Taiwan specializing in pharmacogenomics and specialty Clinical Research Organization. Under the terms of the Agreement, CytoPharm and its subsidiary will conduct all clinical trials, and seek to obtain regulatory approvals in both China and Taiwan (the “Territory”) to launch our low dose oral interferon in the Territory for influenza and hepatitis B (“HBV”) and hepatitis C (“HCV”) indications.  According to the Agreement, CytoPharm will make payments to us upon reaching certain milestones and will also pay royalties on low dose oral interferon sales in the Territory.
 
In March 2008, we entered into a Supply Agreement for Animal Health with CytoPharm, Inc.  Under the terms of the Agreement, CytoPharm will conduct all clinical trials, and seek to obtain regulatory approvals in China and Taiwan (the “Territory”) to launch our low dose oral interferon in the Territory for treatment of diseases and other healthcare applications of swine, cattle and poultry.  CytoPharm will make payments to us upon reaching certain milestones and will also pay royalties on low dose oral interferon sales in the Territory.

Strategic Alliance with Cyto Biotech.  On February 6, 2009, we entered into a 15-year License and Supply agreement with Cyto Biotech, Inc. a Taipei, Taiwan animal health company.  Under the terms of the agreement, Cyto Biotech, will, at its sole expense and cost, conduct all clinical trials and studies and seek to obtain regulatory approvals in China, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines, Cambodia, Vietnam and Malaysia (“the Territory”), subject to the existing license and supply agreements with CytoPharm, Inc. and Bumimedic SDN. BHD., required for the commercial launch of our low dose oral interferon in the Territory for any animal and human health indications.
 
Cyto Biotech purchased common stock, included in the above issuances in Amarillo Biosciences stock; paid an initial license fee to us; and will pay a net royalty on low dose oral interferon sales.  In addition, the agreement calls for certain minimum royalty payments to be made.
 
Nutraceutical Product.   We sell anhydrous crystalline maltose (ACM) as Maxisal® to individuals and to pharmacies in the USA and to licensed distributors overseas. We seek to out-license Maxisal®.
 
Equity Funding.  In the first quarter of 2009, the Company sold 3,050,000 unregistered shares of common stock for $0.10 per share plus 3,050,000 3-year warrants with $0.20 exercise price and 500,000 unregistered shares of common stock for $0.10 per share plus 500,000 3-year warrants with $0.10 exercise price.  Net proceeds from the private placement stock sales totaled $320,000 after payment of $35,000 in commissions and finder’s fees.   A consultant purchased 62,500 shares at $0.08 per share for $5,000 cash.  Equity funding net of commissions and finder’s fees totaled $325,000.  
 
Results of Operations for Quarter Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:
 
Revenues.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, $132 from dietary supplement sales was generated compared to $888 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $756 (85%).  During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, $782 sublicense fee was generated compared to no sublicense fee the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
 
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses of $170,951 were incurred for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to $215,892 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $44,941 (21%).  The decrease was mostly from lower costs for oral warts in HIV+ patients Phase 2 clinical studies.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $247,524 were incurred for the first quarter in 2009, compared to $403,684 for the first quarter of 2008, a decrease of $156,160 (39%).  Most of this decrease was from  $155,003 in lower public relations and investor relations costs.
 
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Instruments.  Change in fair value of derivative instruments was realized as a $124,724 operating expense in the first quarter of 2009 compared to zero in the first quarter of 2008.  Reclassification of the fair value for warrants with embedded features was not required by EITF 07-5 in 2008.
 
Non-cash Consulting Activities.  During the first quarter of 2009, no stock or stock options were issued to consultants. The Company recognized $74,048 of employee option expense in the first quarter of 2009.  During the first quarter of 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 190,000 shares of common stock to consultants: 90,000 shares to CEOcast on February 26, 2008 ($27,900 fair value) and 100,000 shares to David Stewart on March 31, 2008 ($29,000 fair value).
 

 
14

 

The shares to David Stewart were issued in a 25,000 share portions on March 31 and are to be issued on June 30, September 30 and December 31 during fiscal 2008.  The Board of Directors also authorized the issuance of 50,000 options (fair value of $10,121) each to two consultants during the first quarter of 2008.  Non-cash consulting activities totaled $40,210 during the first three months of 2008.
 
Other Income.  During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, $1,960 of  interest and other income was generated compared to $1,371 from interest and other income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $589 (43%).
 
Net Loss.  As a result of the above, in the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, the Company's net loss was $563,596 compared to a net loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 of $640,092.
 
Liquidity Needs:  On March 31, 2009, the Company had available $25,313 cash and had a working capital deficit (current assets less current liabilities) of approximately $3,790,000.  Current liabilities include two $1 million notes plus $594,904 of accrued interest owed to Hayashibara Biochemical Laboratories, Inc. (HBL), the Company’s largest shareholder.   Accrued payroll and vacation expenses owed mostly to officers is $251,611.  Reclassification of warrants with imbedded features into $782,804 of liabilities is also included in the working capital deficit.  That leaves approximately $160,000 of accounts payables and accrued expenses in the working capital deficit.
 
Assuming there is no decrease in current accounts payable, and accounting for various one–time expenses, the Company’s negative cash flow for operating activities plus equipment purchases and patent filings, the Company’s cash burn rate is approximately $104,000 per month.  The Company's continued losses and lack of liquidity raise substantial doubt about whether the Company is able to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon several factors including, but not limited to, the Company's ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations on a timely basis, obtain license and milestone fees, obtain additional financing and continue to obtain supplies and services from its vendors. The Company will need to raise additional funds in order to fully execute its 2009 Plan.  The Company is currently pursuing potential investors for funding.  In addition, the Company is also pursuing potential pharmaceutical partners to provide upfront license fee payments and funding for clinical studies.  There can be no assurance that private placement funding or pharmaceutical partner funding will become available.
 
Forward-Looking Statements: Certain statements made in this Plan of Operations and elsewhere in this report are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act"). Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance, achievements, costs or expenses and may contain words such as "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "project," "budget," or words or phrases of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties are detailed from time to time in reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Forms 8-K, 10-Q and 10-K and include among others the following: promulgation and implementation of regulations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"); promulgation and implementation of regulations by foreign

governmental instru­mentalities with functions similar to those of the FDA; costs of research and development and clinical trials, including without limitation, costs of clinical supplies, packaging and inserts, patient recruitment, trial monitoring, trial evaluation and publication; and possible difficulties in enrolling a sufficient number of qualified patients for certain clinical trials. The Company is also dependent upon a broad range of general economic and financial risks, such as possible increases in the costs of employing and/or retaining qualified personnel and consultants and possible inflation which might affect the Company's ability to remain within its budget forecasts. The principal uncertainties to which the Company is presently subject are its inability to ensure that the results of trials performed by the Company will be sufficiently favorable to ensure eventual regulatory approval for commercial sales, its inability to accurately budget at this time the possible costs associated with hiring and retaining of additional personnel, uncertainties regarding the terms and timing of one or more commercial partner agreements and its ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The risks cited here are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report may include additional factors which could adversely impact the Company's business and future prospects. Moreover, the Company is engaged in a very competitive and rapidly changing industry.
 
New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on the Company's business, or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual future events.
 
    ITEM 3.                      Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
We may not be able to adequately protect and maintain our intellectual property.  Our success will depend in part on our ability to protect and maintain our patents, intellectual property rights and licensing arrangements for our products and technology.  We currently own three patents and license seven  patents.  No assurance can be given that such licenses or rights used by us will not be challenged, infringed or circumvented or that the rights granted thereunder will provide competitive advantages to us. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will be able to remain in compliance with our existing or future licensing arrangements. Consequently, there may be a risk that licensing arrangements are withdrawn with no penalties to the licensee or compensation to us.
 
We rely on third parties for the supply, manufacture and distribution of our products.  Third parties manufacture and distribute all of our products. We do not currently have manufacturing facilities or personnel to independently manufacture our products. Currently, Marlyn Nutraceutical manufactures our nutraceutical products. Our licensed distributors, located in the United States and internationally, distribute the products.  Except for any contractual rights and remedies that we may have with our manufacturer and our distributors, we have no control over the availability of our products, their quality or cost or the actual distribution of our products. If for any reason we are unable to obtain or retain third-party manufacturers and distributors on commercially acceptable terms, we may not be able to produce and distribute our products as planned.  If we encounter delays or difficulties with our contract manufacturer in producing or packaging our products or with our distributor in distributing our products, the production, distribution, marketing and subsequent sales of these
 

 
16

 

products would be adversely affected, and we may have to seek alternative sources of supply or distribution or abandon or sell product lines on unsatisfactory terms. We may not be able to enter into alternative supply, production or distribution arrangements on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There can be no assurance that the manufacturer that we have engaged will be able to provide sufficient quantities of these products or that the products supplied will meet with our specifications or that our distributor will be able to distribute our products in accordance with our requirements.
 
We are dependant on funding from private placements of stock.  Our sales revenue, sublicense fees and royalty income are negligible compared to expenses.  Our primary focus is to achieve FDA approval of oral interferon for one or more disease indications.  We do not expect significant sales or royalty revenue in the near term as Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical studies must be completed before a NDA (New Drug Application) may be submitted to the FDA.  We operate at a net loss and current liabilities exceed current assets by approximately $3,790,000.  Most of the difference between current assets and current liabilities is the amount owed to HBL for two $1 million notes plus $594,904 of accrued interest; $251,611 of accrued payroll and vacation expenses owed mostly to officers; and $782,804 from the reclassification of warrants with imbedded features into liabilities.  See a detailed discussion of the HBL notes in Note 6 (“Notes Payable”) to Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1, above.
 
The Company is currently pursuing potential investors for funding.  In addition the Company is also pursuing potential pharmaceutical partners to provide upfront license fee payments and funding for clinical studies.  There can be no assurance that private placement funding or pharmaceutical partner funding will become available.
 
We are dependent on certain key existing and future personnel.  Our success will depend, to a large degree, upon the efforts and abilities of our officers and key management employees such as Dr. Joseph M. Cummins, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Gary W. Coy, our Chief Financial Officer, and Martin J. Cummins, our Vice President of Clinical and Regulatory Affairs. The loss of the services of one or more of our key employees could have a material adverse effect on our operations. We do currently have employment agreements with our executive officers. We do not currently maintain key man life insurance on any of our key employees.  In addition, as our business plan is implemented, we will need to recruit and retain additional management and key employees in virtually all phases of our operations. We cannot assure that we will be able to successfully attract and retain key personnel.
 
If we do not successfully develop, acquire or license new drugs our business may not grow.  We must invest substantial time, resources and capital in identifying and developing new drugs, dosage and delivery systems, either on our own or by acquiring and licensing such products from third parties. Our growth depends, in part, on our success in such process.  If we are unable to either develop new products on our own or acquire licenses for new products from third parties, our ability to grow revenues and market share may be adversely affected. In addition, we may not be able to recover our investment in the development of new drugs, given that projects may be interrupted, unsuccessful, not as profitable as initially contemplated or we may not be able to obtain necessary financing for such development if we are unable to fund such development from our future revenues. Similarly, there is no assurance that we can successfully secure such rights from third parties on an economically feasible basis.
 
Our competitors are much larger and more experienced than we are and, even if we complete the development of our drugs, we may not be able to successfully compete with them.  The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive.  Our biologics and low-dose oral interferon alpha applications compete with high dose injectable interferon manufactured by Roche, Schering, InterMune, Serono, Biogen, Berlex and Hemispherx. High dose injectable interferon has been widely accepted by the medical community for many years.  Companies who manufacture injectable interferon alpha applications are more established than we are and have far greater financial, technical, research and development, sales and marketing, administrative and other resources than we do.  Even if we successfully complete the development of our tests, we may not be able to compete effectively with these much larger companies and their more established products.
17

 
We have been the subject of a going concern opinion by our independent auditors who have raised substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our Independent Registered Public Accountants have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit  reports issued in connection with our consolidated financial statements which states that our recurring losses from operations and the need to raise additional financing in order to execute our business plan raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have experienced net losses of $1,225,989 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and $563,596 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  In addition, as of December 31, 2008 we had an accumulated deficit of $32,881,685. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Assurances cannot be given that adequate financing can be obtained to meet our capital needs. We have already significantly curtailed operations, and if we are unable to generate profits and if we to continue to be unable to obtain financing to meet our working capital requirements, we will have to cease operations altogether. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to retain our current financing, to obtain additional financing, and, ultimately, to attain profitability.
 
Risk Relating to Our January 2008 Financing Arrangement.  There are 13,320,000 shares underlying our warrants related to our January 2008 financing arrangement that may be available for future sale and the sale of these shares may depress the market price of our common stock.  In addition the warrants have an anti-dilution ratchet feature that could cause the number of warrants to increase and the exercise price to decrease if we should have any non exempt stock, option or warrant issuances less the $0.10 per share.  As of March 31, 2009, we had 41,610,146 shares of common stock issued and outstanding plus 27,792,412 shares reserved for options and warrants which includes the above January 2008 warrants.
 
 
Risks Related to our Common Stock.  There is only a limited market for our common stock and the price of our common stock may be affected by factors that are unrelated to the performance of our business.  If any of the risks described in these Risk Factors or other unseen risks are realized, the market price of our common stock could be materially adversely affected.  Additionally, market prices for securities of biotechnology and diagnostic companies have historically been very volatile.  The market for these securities has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons that are unrelated to the operating performance of any one company.  In particular, and in addition to the other risks described elsewhere in these Risk Factors, the following factors can adversely affect the market price of our common stock:
 
·  
announcements of technological innovation or improved or new diagnostic products by others;
·  
general market conditions;
·  
changes in government regulation or patent decisions;
·  
changes in insurance reimbursement practices or policies for diagnostic products.

Our common shares have traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board at prices below $5.00 for several years. As a result, our shares are characterized as “penny stocks” which could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock.
 

 
18

 


 
The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. Securities and Exchange Commission regulations generally define a penny stock to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Such exceptions include any equity security listed on NASDAQ or a national securities exchange and any equity security issued by an issuer that has:
 
·  
net tangible assets in excess of $2,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for three years;
·  
net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years; or
·  
average revenue of at least $6,000,000, for the last three years.

Unless an exception is available, the regulations require, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, that a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith is delivered to a prospective purchaser of the penny stock.  We currently do not qualify for an exception, and, therefore, our common stock is considered to be penny stock and is subject to these requirements.  The penny stock regulations adversely affect the market liquidity of our common shares by limiting the ability of broker/dealers to trade the shares and the ability of purchasers of our common shares to sell in the secondary market.  In addition, certain institutions and investors will not invest in penny stocks.
 
Future sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock by existing stockholders may lower the price of our common stock, which could result in losses to our stockholders.  We estimate there that are approximately 22,000,000 restricted shares outstanding which, upon becoming freely tradable under Rule 144 or 144(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, may lower the price of our common stock.
 

    ITEM 4.                      Controls and Procedures
 
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, being March 31, 2009. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our company’s management, including our company’s president and chief executive officer. Based upon that evaluation, our company’s president and chief executive officer concluded that our company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as at the end of the period covered by this report. There have been no significant changes in our company’s internal controls or in other factors, which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation.
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our company’s president and chief executive officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 

 
19

 

There were no significant changes in internal controls over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2009.
 
 
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
    ITEM 1.                      Legal Proceeding.
 
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.  As of the date of this report, we were not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims against us.
 
 
    ITEM 2.
