Item 1.     Financial Statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Registration Statement and in
conjunction with the discussion responsive thereto under the caption
"Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" in our Form 10-KSB
filed April 26, 2002. The company undertakes no duty to update forward-looking
statements.

Plan of Operations

We are a research and development biopharmaceutical company. Since our
inception, we have focused our resources primarily on research and development.
To date, none of our proprietary products have reached a commercial stage and
hence, we do not have, nor do we anticipate in the near future, revenue. We will
continue to have significant general and administrative expenses, including
expenses related to clinical studies, our collaboration with Georgetown
University, and patent prosecution.

We have funded our operations through a series of private placements and through
our agreement with Fusion Capital. The Company believes potential private
placements, the agreement with Fusion Capital, and an eventual registered public
offering, if successful, will assist the Company in meetings it's cash needs,but
there is no guarantee.

Except for an agreement to sell shares to Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC. ("Fusion
Capital"), discussed below, no commitment exists for continued investments, or
for any underwriting. The company has thus far been able to meet its capital
needs, and believes that extensive discussions and certain agreements with
various potential sources of funding may eventually reach necessary funding
agreements. The Board of Directors directed the officers to file a Form SB-2
registration statement, offer registered securities to the market and/or as part
of agreements with shareholders and others to allow them, as selling
shareholders, to sell their shares, once received, in a registered offering, as
in the case of Fusion Capital. The officers complied and the SEC declared such
registration statement effective. Given the Company has been able to
substantially meet its cash needs during the past 12 months, and management's
estimation of what may occur in the months ahead, the company believes it will
be able to continue to find avenues to obtain the capital needed for operations.

                                       8


On November 13, 2000, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with
Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC, a Chicago-based institutional investor, whereby
Fusion Capital agreed, subject to contract terms, to buy $20 million of the
Company's common stock. The aggregate equity investment committed to the Company
by Fusion Capital is $20 million dollars. These funds will be used to further
develop its technology, from preclinical through FDA clinical trials and for
possible acquisitions, and other corporate opportunities. More specifically,
Fusion Capital has agreed to purchase up to $20 million dollars of common stock
over a 50-month period, subject to a three-month extension by the Company. The
U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission declared the registration statement
effective, which gave the Company the right to sell to Fusion Capital $400,000
of its common stock, on a monthly basis, at a price based upon the market price
of the common stock on the date of each sale without any fixed discount to the
market price. At the Company's sole option, Fusion Capital can be required to
purchase lesser or greater amounts of common stock each month up to what is the
remainder of the $20 million dollars, in the aggregate. The Company has the
right to control the timing and the amount of stock sold to Fusion Capital. SPHC
also has the right to terminate the agreement at any time without any additional
cost. Other terms and conditions apply.

Summary of Research and Development

We have a series of therapeutic projects either in "discovery", "product
development", "preclinical trials", or "clinical development"; and we utilize
these formal stages of product progression to track progress, performance,
competition, and cost for each project. Our programs primarily are aimed at
satisfying defined medical needs in the areas of Alzheimer's, Cancer, infectious
diseases, Neurology and tissue engineering, and are based on an intellectual
property position that, we believe, is both broad and strong. Several of our
development programs involve ex vivo technologies in which patients' tissues are
manipulated outside the body and, as such, may be less costly to investigate and
quicker to develop than in vivo agents. We expect to apply for and receive
regulatory approval from the U.S. FDA to use certain of our technologies to
initiate human trials that may commence in the future.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, we concentrated our efforts on
Samaritan Research Laboratories, our collaboration with Georgetown University,
setting up the operations towards increasing efficiencies and streamlining
structure. We have the benefit of a strong portfolio of opportunities, each of
which must compete for resources and priority status.

                                       9


A key currency in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical market is patents and
strong intellectual property. A central activity for us has been, and continues
to be, the acquisition, development and maintenance of intellectual property
positions directly in support of defined product development opportunities. We
continue to expend significant funds and efforts on licenses and patent
protection. In addition, we are continually examining our intellectual property
positions in relation to competitive activities and our ability to operate and
defend our positions in relation to products. We believe that this is a key
value element for our development.

The process of developing therapeutic products requires significant discovery
research, product development as well as pre-clinical and clinical testing of
those products in order to gain regulatory approval. These activities are
expected to result in continuing cash outflows. Furthermore we do not expect to
generate any meaningful product revenues from our biopharmaceutical programs
unless we partner a technology receiving up-front payments and milestone royalty
payments  and/or  until a clinical  candidate  completes  its  clinical  trials,
obtains regulatory approval for commercialization and is successfully  marketed.
The  risks of  developing  therapeutic  products  extend  beyond  technical  and
clinical development and, in particular,  involves intellectual property rights,
the need for substantial  additional  capital,  competitive and medical economic
factors,  which are continually changing. Any one or more of these factors could
cause us to fail to develop any commercially successful products.

We are seeking additional equity funding. If additional funds are raised through
the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership
of our stockholders will be reduced and our stockholders may experience dilution
of their interest in us.

Samaritan Pharmaceuticals will continue to seek additional, non-dilutive funding
from grants and other similar sources. Although to date, Samaritan
Pharmaceuticals has not been granted any monies from such funding sources. As a
small, newcomer to the biotech industry and as part of the several thousand
companies that constitute the public biotech industry, we are not well known. We
have initiated efforts to improve the awareness and understanding of our
company. We believe, despite the external market conditions, we will be able to
successfully accomplish this goal in the long run.

Anticort(TM)

The company also has a drug, Anticort(TM), for the indication of HIV that
completed a Phase II clinical trial. The company is awaiting the results from
the AIDS Research Alliance, Los Angeles, CA, to evaluate and determine the next
course of action. The company hopes that the results are strong enough to
warrant continued action. In evaluating the company's statements about
Anticort(TM), you should specifically consider various factors, including the
risks outlined in "Risk Factors" in our Form 10-KSB filed April 26, 2002.

B. Animal Testing Models for Alzheimer's

Samaritan is conducting research and development of animal models for Acute
Alzheimer' and Chronic Alzheimer'. We are currently doing in-vitro validation
and in-vivo testing with animal models. The models, if successful, will allow
efficacy testing for new therapies.

C. Diagnostics

One of the major problems with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases is the
inability of clinicians to determine the onset of disease. Samaritan is
conducting research and development of diagnostic kits whereby the onset of
diseases can be detected. Our diagnostics may also require FDA approval before
we can market them to the public but the following is a chart of our progress to
date.

The Company has incurred research development stage losses since its inception.
These losses consist primarily of research and related expenditures, marketing
costs, consulting, and administrative overhead and expenses, incurred while the
Company seeks to complete development of its products, which includes clinical
human trials to obtain FDA final approval. No significant revenues have been
earned by the Company, or cash flow from operations, to help pay these operating
needs.

RISK FACTORS

The response to this item is incorporated by reference from the discussion
responsive thereto under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Form 10-KSB filed
April 26, 2002.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report and other oral and written statements made by us to the public
contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor"
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
statements are based upon management's current expectations that are subject to
a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those described in our forward-looking statements. Such
statements address the following subjects: our need for and ability to obtain
additional capital, including from the sale of equity and/or from federal or
other grant sources; our expected future losses; the sufficiency of cash and
cash equivalents; our ability to generate revenues; our ability to develop
commercially successful products, including our ability to obtain FDA approval
to initiate further studies of our potential products and our technologies; the
high cost and uncertainty of the research and development of pharmaceutical
products; the unpredictability of the duration and results of the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration's review of new drug applications; the possible impairment
of our existing, and the inability to obtain new, intellectual property rights
and the cost of protecting such rights as well as the cost of obtaining rights
from third parties when needed on acceptable terms; our ability to enter into
successful partnering relationships with respect to the development and/or
commercialization of our product candidates; our dependence on third parties to
research, develop, manufacture and commercialize and sell any products
developed; our ability to improve awareness and understanding of our company,
our technology and our business objectives; whether our predictions about market
size and market acceptability of our products will prove true; and our
understandings and predictions regarding the utility of our potential products
and our technology.

Statements in this report expressing our expectations and beliefs regarding our
future results or performance are forward-looking statements that involve a
number of substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this Form 10-KSB,
the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," may be,"
"seek," "plan," "focus," and "potential" and similar expressions as they relate
to the Company or its management are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. Our actual future results may differ significantly from those stated
in any forward-looking statements.

As a result of the foregoing and other factors, we may experience material
fluctuations in future operating results on a quarterly or annual basis which
could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition,
operating results and stock price. We are not under any duty to update any of
the forward-looking statements in this report to conform these statements to
actual results, unless required by law. For further information, refer to the
more specific risks and uncertainties discussed above and throughout this
report.

title of these securities was the Common Stock of the Company. They were sold
for cash, unless otherwise noted in this section, they were sold in private
transactions to persons believed to be of a class of private investors, acting
on their own, comprised of "accredited investors" (as such term is defined in
Regulation D of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or "SEC") and a
limited number of non-accredited investors. All investors, to the best knowledge
of the Company, are not affiliated with the Company, and purchased the shares
with apparent investment intent. The Company relied upon, among other possible
exemptions, Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. It's
reliance on said exemption was based upon the fact that no public solicitation
was used by the Company in the offer or sale, and that the securities were
legend shares, along with a notation at the respective transfer agent,
restricting the shares from sale or transfer as is customary with reference to
Rule 144 of the SEC.

The following information identifies the date, and amount of shares sold during
the first quarter:

The SEC declared effective the Company's registration statement on Form SB-2,
Commission Registration No. 333-52296, on December 20, 2000 (as amended and
supplemented from time to time, "Registration Statement"). Under the
Registration Statement, certain selling shareholders may sell shares of Common
Stock, which is the title of the class of securities registered, acquired from
the Company. The Company does not receive any proceeds from the sale of
securities being offered by the selling shareholders under the Registration
Statement. The Company registered the shares for sale to provide the selling
shareholders with freely tradable securities, but the registration of the shares
does not necessarily mean that any of the shares will be offered or sold by the
selling shareholders. However, we may receive payments under agreements relating
to the shares and may receive proceeds from the exercise of warrants. Such
proceeds are intended for use as to working capital and other corporate
purposes. The offering under the Registration Statement has not terminated. The
Registration Statement registered a total of 11,825,000 shares for a total
anticipated offering price, subject to conditions, of $20,000,000. The amount of
shares sold by the selling shareholder during this quarter is believed to be
1,470,000 for aggregate proceeds of $213,149. The Company received, under its
agreements as noted above, proceeds of $213,149 and incurred, in connection with
the registration, estimated expenses of $6,000 for legal, printing, and related
offering expenses, with net proceeds to the Company of approximately $213,149
used primarily for working capital, legal fees and for payments to Georgetown
University (again not from the sale of the securities under the Registration
Statement, but from agreements with the selling shareholders).
