PART I
 
ITEM 1.BUSINESS
 
Company Overview
 
We are a biotechnology company whose strategic vision is to develop and market products specializing in the application of 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. We currently have none of our product candidates on the market and are focusing on the development and testing of our 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, deaths from cancer are second only to cardiovascular deaths.
 
Company History
 
We currently trade on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “TPIV”.
 
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in 1991 under the name “Ward’s Futura Automotive Ltd”. We changed our name a number of times since 1991 and, in July 2002, we completed the acquisition of GeneMax Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“GeneMax Pharmaceuticals”), a Delaware corporation, in a reverse merger and changed our name to “GeneMax Corp”. As a result of this transaction, the former stockholders of GeneMax Pharmaceuticals then owned 75% of the total issued and outstanding shares of GeneMax Corp. GeneMax Pharmaceuticals is now a wholly owned subsidiary of TapImmune, and GeneMax Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc. (“GPCanada”), a British Columbia corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary of GeneMax Pharmaceuticals. On June 28, 2007, we approved a name change to TapImmune Inc.
 
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 I 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.
 
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 TapImmune 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. Management believes that this cancer vaccine strategy will provide the most viable 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.

As a key part of its overall strategy, and with adequate funding, the Company is pursuing the development of prophylactic vaccines against infectious microbes and will also do so in partnership with other vaccine developers. The Company intends to develop the TAP technology for use as a vaccine that restores normal immune recognition for the treatment of cancer and supplements immune recognition for the development of prophylactic vaccines.
 
TapImmune’s Target Market and Strategy
 
With the required funding in place, we will support and expand on our key infectious disease partnerships, including our collaboration efforts with the Mayo Clinic and others. We will also continue product development in oncology and infectious diseases both alone and with corporate partners and collaborators including the Mayo Clinic for HER2/neu positive Breast Cancer and smallpox. 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. Research & Markets (Global Vaccine Market Outlook 2007 – 2010) estimated that the market for cancer vaccines could reach approximately $6 billion in 2010. IMS has estimated that the cancer market will mushroom from $48 billion to $75 billion in 2012 with biopharma companies anticipating that cancer vaccines will grab a large slice of the market (Fierch Biotech, March 23, 2010). The goal of TapImmune management is to have the FDA approve our cancer vaccines within the next few years so that we can secure a portion of this market.
 
Management also believes that our prophylactic vaccine adjuvant will improve the creation of new vaccines and enhance the efficacy of current vaccines in the treatment of infectious disease. It will be a key business development strategy to pursue additional partnerships and joint research and development ventures with vaccine manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies to bring new and improved vaccines to market. This strategy includes the development of vaccines for pandemic diseases and for bioterrorism threats. The market for prophylactic vaccines is around $6 Billion and is expected to reach $11 billion in 2010 (Frost & Sullivan). Management believes that our adjuvant will increase the potency of many of the currently available vaccines and lead to the creation of better, more effective new vaccines, thereby allowing us to participate in this large market through novel new products and in combination with existing vaccines.
 
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 us to pursue our own internal product development while positioning us to enter into multiple partnerships and licensing agreements. Our first generation TAP vaccines that have been used in animal preclinical studies are based on insertion of TAP genes into a proprietary modified adenovirus vector. We have an opportunity to take advantage of our potential partners’ capabilities while reducing our overhead costs. Moving into the development phase, we plan to initiate a contract with a qualified CRO (contract research organization) for 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. We will also plan to rely on our new collaboration agreements with Mayo clinic to demonstrate the use of TAP in new vaccine candidates. In parallel with our adenoviral vector approach we plan to develop non-viral vectors for the delivery of plasmid DNA.
 
Products and Technology in Development
 
TAP Cancer Vaccine
 
Based on earlier research at UBC Biomedical Research Centre in Vancouver BC, we have taken our TAP Cancer Vaccine into preclinical studies and will be completing toxicology and clinical manufacturing studies prior to entering clinical trials. Our overall objective is to successfully develop the patented TAP-1 gene vector technology 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 key milestones of efficacy in animal models of cancer have been achieved and that scientific research from other laboratories has validated the efficacy data. The proof of principle for the TAP technology as a cancer vaccine has been established in research conducted at UBC in metastatic models that have multiple defects in the “antigen presentation pathway” resulting in poor detection of cancer cells by the immune system. These studies demonstrating that introduction of the TAP gene can restore an immune response have been published in a number of peer-reviewed leading scientific journals (links to publications can be found at www.tapimmune.com).
 
Pre-Clinical Testing
We have completed small animal pre-clinical animal testing of our 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. We have 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 – HER2/neu Vaccine Technology – Mayo Clinic
On June 1, 2010, we signed an exclusive licensing option agreement with the Mayo Clinic, Rochester MN for clinical development of a new HER2/neu breast cancer vaccine technology. An IND for Phase I human clinical trials on the HER2/neu cancer vaccine in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic was approved by the FDA in July, 2011 and patient dosing is expected to start at the end of Q2 2012. The primary endpoint for this trial will be vaccine safety. Secondary endpoints will be immune responses including generation of antigen-specific T-cells and time to disease progression in breast cancer patients. In parallel we will complete the manufacturing and toxicity of AdTap1 for subsequent Phase I human clinical trials and for use in combination in later stage clinical trials with the HER2/neu antigens.
 
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. For immunotherapeutics/vaccine, Phase I studies are conducted in cancer patients and include the measurement of cellular immune responses. 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.
 
Infectious Disease Application for “TAP” Adjuvant
 
TapImmune plans to develop or license out our technology for the creation of enhanced viral vaccines, such as for smallpox and others, based on our findings that TAP can augment immune responses. We have presented data showing that increasing TAP expression in TAP-competent antigen presenting cells (APCs) and/or virus infected cells increases the antigenic peptide associated with MHC class I expression on the cell surface, and leads to increased specific T cell-mediated immune responses. We believe this technology can add great value to the creation of new vaccines and enhance those that already exist. Our collaborations Mayo Clinic is evidence of this and we will continue to pursue additional partnerships and collaborations as a key strategy to expand our R&D program to optimize resources and to reduce costs and development Times. In our collaboration with the Mayo Clinic efficacy studies in small animals on a novel smallpox vaccine that includes TAP were initiated in 2011 and are progressing on schedule. The subsequent regulatory pathway for this product is to use the FDA’s “Animal Efficacy Rule” for completion of efficacy studies in primates followed by Phase I clinical studies on vaccine safety.
 
The cost of funding preclinical and clinical programs in cancer and infectious disease is estimated to be approximately $5 million. Sources of non-dilutive grant funding will also be applied for.
 
Strategic Relationships

Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research
On May 26, 2010 we signed a Technology Option Agreement with the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, Rochester, MN, for the evaluation of HER2/neu peptide epitopes as antigens for a breast cancer vaccine. The agreement grants TapImmune and exclusive worldwide option to become the exclusive licensee of the technology after completion of Phase I clinical trials.  Following approval of the IND by the FDA in July, 2011 TapImmune and the Mayo Foundation executed at Sponsored Research Agreement for the clinical trial.
 
On July 24, 2010, we signed a Research and Technology License Option Agreement with the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, Rochester, MN, to evaluate novel smallpox peptide antigens. The Agreement grants TapImmune an exclusive worldwide option to become the exclusive licensee of the smallpox vaccine technology after research studies have been completed under the terms of the agreement.
 
Crucell Holland B.V. Research License and Option Agreement
Effective August 7, 2003, we entered into a five-year research license and option agreement with Crucell Holland B.V. (“Crucell”), whereby Crucell granted us a non-exclusive worldwide license for the research use of its packaging cell (PerC6) technology. We were required to make certain payments over the five-year term totaling Euro €450,000 (approximately $510,100).

The license was dormant with an outstanding balance owing of 170,000 Euro ($248,938) that was included in research obligations. Management has completed a settlement for the remaining balance including a €17,000 cash payment and the issuance of 265,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock.
 
Effective August 7, 2008, we negotiated an amended license agreement for the use of Crucell’s adenovirus technology. We are required to make annual license payments on the anniversary of the effective date for the three year term equal to €75,000 per annum. As at December 31, 2011, we have accrued $259,752 (€200,580) under the amended agreement.
 
Intellectual Property, Patents and Trademarks
 
Patents and other proprietary rights are vital to our business operations. We protect our technology through various United States and foreign patent filings, and maintain trade secrets that we own. 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 our exclusive property.
 
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, the holders of such patents could require us to obtain licenses to use such technology.
 
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 UBC 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 UBC 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 Enhancing an Immune Response
U.S. patent No. 7,378,087, issued May 27 2008. The patent claims relate to methods for enhancing the immune response to tumor cells by introducing the TAP molecule into the infected cells. Patent applications are pending on other aspects of the Company’s technology. The inventors were Jefferies, Wilfred A.; Zhang, Qian-Jin; Chen, Susan Shu-Ping; Alimonti, Judie B., who collectively assigned the patent to UBC under an assignment agreement.
 
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 UBC, 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 UBC 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.

Method of Enhancing an Immune Response
On October 27, 2011 The US Patent Office has issued Patent 7,994,146 entitled “Method of Enhancing an Immune Response”. The invention relates to a method of enhancing an immune response to an antigen by augmenting the level of TAP (Transporters Associated with Antigen Processing) molecule in a target cell bearing the antigen.  This patent details application to treating vaccinia, herpes simplex and influenza virus infections and small cell lung cancer. Levels of TAP in humans correlate with susceptibility to certain diseases and the ability to respond to a vaccine.

TAP Vaccines and other filings
We intend to continue to work with our collaborators to file additional patent applications with respect to any novel aspects of our technology to further protect our intellectual property portfolio. An invention that describes the use of bio-acceptable substances to promote the transcription of the TAP-1 gene in TAP-1 expression-deficient cells was filed in July 2009 and was available to us under an option agreement with the University of British Columbia. The patent is entitled “HAT acetylation promoters and uses of compositions thereof in promoting immunogenicity”. The Company will not pursue this technology or continue to prosecute this additional patent and has released its option back to the University of British Columbia.
 
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 we are 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 us in recruiting qualified scientific personnel. Many of our potential competitors have substantially greater financial, research and development, human and other resources than us. Furthermore, large pharmaceutical companies may have significantly more experience than we do 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.
 
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 our major competitors: CellGenSys Inc., Dendreon Corp., Genzyme Molecular Oncology, Immune Design, Oncothyreon, Celldex, BN Immunotherapeutics, Apthera 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 GLP, toxicology studies, animal pre-clinical efficacy studies and manufacturing pursuant to what is known as GMP. 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. We intend to enter into a contract with SAFC Pharma 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.
 
Canada
In Canada, the Therapeutic Products Directorate and the Biologics and Genetic Therapies Directorate of HC 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 we are able to commence the sale of our products into the market, we will face the risk of product liability claims. Because we are not yet selling our products, we have not experienced any product liability claims to date and we do 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 our business, financial condition or results of operations, or that such insurance will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

Plan of Operations

As a vaccine component, the gene based TAP technology has the potential to significantly improve the efficacy of both prophylactic and immunotherapeutic vaccines as it addresses a fundamental mechanism for T cell recognition and response. Unlike other vaccine technologies that address only the initiation of immune responses, TAP expression also has the unique ability to enhance the effector function of mature killer T cells. This enhancement of effector function is potentially complementary to any/all vaccine approaches that are designed to enhance cellular responses.   Therefore, we envisage establishing multiple collaborative partnerships as we progress gene-based TAP development and research in the clinic. The exploitation of this key mechanism is highlighted by two collaborations with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN and their progress in 2011.

Management believes that as a result of our recent personal additions, our moving into a state of the art facility and our exclusive Licensing Option agreements with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, near term Phase 1 clinical trials, and with adequate funding, the Company will be well positioned for significant growth in 2012

In August, the FDA approved an IND (Investigational New Drug application) and the Company signed a sponsored research agreement with the Mayo Clinic for a Phase 1 Her2neu Breast Cancer Clinical Trial, which is scheduled to start in the first quarter of 2012. The trial will use a patented technology developed at the Mayo clinic. TapImmune has the exclusive option to license this technology.  Recent clinical trials of Her2neu vaccines have shown considerable promise but have left significant room for improvements, and the technology we are evaluating in our Phase I clinical trial offers a vaccine with broader coverage, making it applicable to a much larger population of women with breast cancer.  We anticipate that this technology will be used therapeutically together with our TAP expression technology as it reaches clinical development in combination with the improved Her2neu targeted vaccine. Currently, Herceptin® (trastuzumab: an intravenously delivered monoclonal antibody) is used in the treatment of HER-2/neu breast cancer. Sales of this product in 2009 were approximately US$5 billion (source: Roche AG’s Pharmaceutical Division). As our vaccine approach has the potential to treat a broader HER-2/neu positive clinical population, the market potential is significant.

Our Gene-based TAP vaccines also have the potential to significantly improve the efficacy of prophylactic vaccines for viral pandemics and as agents for biodefense.  In a novel approach to the development of a smallpox vaccine, in our collaboration with the Mayo Clinic, research studies have progressed well and are now testing unique and patentable smallpox antigens in combination with TAP technology which we expect to be completed by the third quarter of 2012. Once these feasibility studies are complete, we would move to larger preclinical animal studies, and Phase I safety trials. This study will also act as a platform for more extensive use of gene-based TAP vectors for biodefense.  We will be seeking non-dilutive avenues to finance and advance this program by way of biodefense focused grants and contracts. We have the exclusive option to license the patented Mayo technology that is derived from this collaboration.

The opening of our new laboratories and offices at 1551 Eastlake Avenue, Seattle, on January 23, 2012 represents a significant advance for the Company on several fronts.  First, our sub-lease and service agreements with the Puget Sound Blood Center Research Institute enables our scientific team to access a wide array of functioning core labs and shared equipment relevant to all aspects of development of our gene-based product candidates.  Second, such an arrangement allows us to speed the development of TAP-based products towards the clinic.   Third, we now have the capabilities to produce and test a range of proprietary TAP-based expression vectors for both cancer and infectious disease and to expand our external collaborations. Fourth, the development of new TAP constructs in our laboratories allows us to significantly enhance our intellectual property portfolio. US Patent # 7,994,146 issued in 2011 represents the most recent example of this strategy.    The opening of these new facilities is consistent with our strategy of managing costs using a small core internal team that leverages external resources.

We will continue to build our technical team in 2012. Under the leadership of Mark Reddish, who joined the TapImmune Management Team as Vice President Product Development, the recruitment of world-class scientists is progressing rapidly.  Mark is a recognized leader in vaccine technology development with an impressive track record in taking leading immunotherapy products from early research through development, both in the areas of cancer vaccines and biodefense. He was formerly Vice President of Product Development and Principal Investigator, Biodefense at ID Biomedical, Bothell, WA, prior to the acquisition of the company by Glaxo SmithKline for $1.6 billion.  At Biomira Inc, (renamed Oncothyreon) he was responsible for preclinical development of their cancer vaccines program where he led the early research and clinical development of Stimuvax, which is currently in late Stage 3 clinical trials under a partnership with Merck KGaA.  

 
13

 

With respect to the broader market, a major driver and positive influence on our activities has been the emergence and general acceptance of the potential of a new generation of immunotherapies that promise to change the standard of care for cancer.  The immunotherapy sector has been greatly stimulated by the approval of Provenge® (Dendreon NASD: DNDN) for prostate cancer and Yervoy™ (BMS) for metastatic melanoma, anticipation of the results from Phase III trials on Stimuvax® (Merck KGaA/Oncothyreon NASD: ONTY) and MAGE-3 (GSK) for treatment of lung cancer, and progression of approaches for multiple cancer indications through Phase II and into Phase III.

Management believes that TapImmune is well positioned to be a leading player in this emerging market.  It is important to note that the late stage immunotherapies in development do not necessarily represent competition to our programs, but rather offer us opportunities as our TAP expression technology is potentially synergistic with many other vaccine approaches.  The addition of a TAP expression vector to patients already receiving a therapeutic vaccine could enhance the efficacy of these vaccines, as TAP is designed to help killer T-cells kill tumor cells. This concept of enhancing the effector stage of an immune response differentiates TAP technology from a wide list of immunotherapies currently in development, and offers a great opportunity for collaborations and partnerships. Accordingly we believe that the use of TAP expression vectors represents the next logical step in the development of more effective immunotherapies.

In 2011, we made significant progress with very few resources.   Our recent progress and our buildup of resources indicate that we will make even greater progress in 2012.  On the technology and product pipeline side, management believes that the Company is fundamentally strong and poised to be a leading company in a highly attractive and expanding market, a position reinforced by our recruitment of top-class managers, advisors and investors who all share our vision.

Restatement relating to classification and valuation of derivative liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2010

 
14

 


Management has restated the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 relating to the Company’s accounting for share purchase warrants issued as part of private placement transactions, consulting service agreements and debt settlement transactions. Previously, the fair value of the share purchase warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, or an alternate methodology, at the time of issuance and classified within shareholders’ equity. Following discussions with our auditors, the Company has reviewed the terms and conditions underlying its outstanding share purchase warrants and determined that the accounting for the warrants should be reviewed. Specifically, the Company had issued warrants to purchase our common stock that may require the Company, or a successor, to purchase unexercised warrants for a cash amount equal to their fair value following the announcement of specified events defined as “Fundamental Transactions” (e.g., merger, sale of all or substantially all assets, tender offer, going private or share exchange). The cash settlement provisions require the use of the Black-Scholes model in calculating the cash payment value in the event of a Fundamental Transaction or a delisting. As a consequence of these provisions, management now believes that these share purchase warrants should be classified as a liability on our balance sheets and measured at fair value with the changes in fair value reported in results of operations at each reporting period.

 In coming to this conclusion, management evaluated the application of ASC 480-10 Distinguishing liabilities from equity, ASC 815-40 Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity and ASC 718-10 Compensation – Stock Compensation to the issued and outstanding warrants to purchase common stock that were issued with the private placements, consulting and debt settlement transactions. In summary, the guidance requires the share purchase warrant or equity instrument to be classified as a liability, not equity, whenever the Company could be required to settle the equity instrument by transferring cash or other assets. The Fundamental Transaction clause creates a situation where the warrants may be contingently puttable back to the Company for cash settlement. As a result, the Company has restated its accounting for the share purchase warrants and recorded the fair value of the warrants under “Derivative liability- warrants” on its balance sheet with changes in the fair value over time reflected in the statements of operations as “Changes in fair value of derivative liabilities”.

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased by $1,558,028 due to recognition of the derivative liabilities.
 
Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2010 (As restated)

In this discussion of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, amounts, other than per-share amounts, have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.

We are a development stage company. We recorded a net loss of $2,029,000 during the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $3,533,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses incurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 were $3,316,000 compared to $5,472,000 in the prior year. Significant changes and expenditures are outlined as follows:
 
 
·
Consulting fees were $179,000 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $88,000 during the prior fiscal year. The increase was due primarily to higher business development services that were entered into during the current period.
 
 
·
Stock-based consulting fees were $872,000 in the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $1,058,000 in the prior year. The current and prior year charges result from the fair valuation of shares issued to consultants and options granted to or earned by consultants during such periods.
 
 
·
General and administrative expenses were $306,000 in the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $203,000 in the prior year, with the increase resulting primarily from increased investor relations and travel expenses.
 
 
·
Interest and finance charges were $679,000 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $1,241,000 during the prior fiscal year. Current and prior period interest charges are primarily accretion of interest and the fair value of warrants issued with convertible notes.
 
 
·
Management fees were $248,000 in the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $329,000 in the prior year, with the difference resulting primarily due to one less person in management in the current period offset somewhat by higher management fee paid to the current management.
 
 
·
Management compensation – stock-based were $390,000 in the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $1,088,000 in the prior year. The current and prior year charges result from the fair valuation of options granted to management that were earned during the period.
 
 
·
Professional fees were $438,000 in the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $1,174,000 in the prior year. The decrease from the prior year results due to lower legal fees incurred relating to debt issuance in the current period.
 
 
·
Research and development costs during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 were $204,000 compared to $290,000 during the prior fiscal year. This was due to higher technology licensing fee accrued for payment due to Mayo clinic in the current period.
 
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded a gain on settlement of debt in the amount of $318,000 relating to early settlement of 2010 convertible notes and settlement of trade payables for shares. The Company also recorded a gain from extinguishment of the derivative share purchase warrants in the amount of $291,000 as determined by the fair value of the warrants at the date of settlement less the consideration attributed to the settlement of the warrants relating to the 2010 Notes. There were no similar transactions in the prior period.
 
Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $2,029,000 or ($0.04) per share, compared to a net loss of $3,533,000 or ($0.09) per share in the prior period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 45,994,617 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to 39,803,173 for the prior year.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table sets forth our cash and working capital as of December 31, 2011 and 2010:
 
   
December 31, 2011
   
December 31, 2010

Working capital (deficit)
  $ (3,493,000 )   $ (3,958,000 )

Subject to the availability of additional financing, we intend to spend approximately $5,000,000 over the next twelve months in carrying out our plan of operations. At December 31, 2011, we had $250,000 of cash on hand and a working capital deficit of $3,493,000. As such, our working capital at December 31, 2011 will not be sufficient to enable us to pay our general and administrative expenses, and to pursue our plan of operations over the next twelve months. We anticipate that we will require additional funding of approximately $5,000,000. Our management is currently making significant efforts to secure the needed financing, but we have not yet secured any commitments with respect to such financing. If we are not able to obtain financing in the amounts required or on terms that are acceptable to us, we may be forced to scale back, or abandon, our plan of operations.
 
Various conditions outside of our control may detract from our ability to raise the capital needed to execute our plan of operations, including overall market conditions in the international and local economies. We recognize that the United States economy has suffered through a period of uncertainty during which the capital markets have been depressed from levels established twelve months ago, and that there is no certainty that these levels will stabilize or reverse. Any of these factors could have a material impact upon our ability to raise financing and, as a result, upon our short-term or long-term liquidity.
 
Going Concern
We have no sources of revenue to provide incoming cash flows to sustain our future operations. As outlined above, our ability to pursue our planned business activities is dependent upon our successful efforts to raise additional equity financing. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that we will continue to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. As at December 31, 2011, we had accumulated losses of $43,722,000 since inception. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2011 used cash of $1,310,000 compared to $925,000 in the year ended December 31, 2010. Operating activities in the period from inception on July 27, 1999 to December 31, 2011 used cash of $14,854,000. Operating activities have primarily used cash as a result of the operating and organizational activities such as consulting fees, management fees, professional fees and research and development.
 
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
In the year ended December 31, 2011, investing activities used cash of $Nil compared to $Nil in the year ended December 31, 2010. In the period from inception on July 27, 1999 to December 31, 2011 investing activities provided cash of $205,000.
 
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
As we have had no revenues since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through private placements of our stock. Financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2011 provided cash of $1,537,000 compared to $807,000 in the year ended December 31, 2010. In the period from inception on July 27, 1999 to December 31, 2011, financing activities provided net cash of $14,900,000 primarily from the sale of our equity securities.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
 
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
 
See Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements for our year ended December 31, 2011 for a summary of significant accounting policies.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes of financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of TapImmune Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TapImmune Inc.(a development stage company)  as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the period from July 27, 1999 (inception) through December 31, 2011.  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.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  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 TapImmue Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the period from July 27,1999 (inception) through December 31, 2011  in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated revenues since inception, has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated.  The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As described in Note 1A, the Company has restated its 2010 consolidated financial statements to correct the classification and measurement of certain of its share purchase warrants as liabilities instead of equity.
