Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
June 30, 2004
Note 1. - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and
disclosures required for annual financial statements. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2003, included in the
Form10-KSB for the year then ended.
In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial
position as of June 30, 2004, and the results of operations and cash flows for
the three month period ending June 30, 2004 have been included. The results of
operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB/A as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Note 2 - Stock Based Compensation
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," ("SFAS 123"), encourages, but does not require, companies to
record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair
value. The Company has chosen to account for stock-based compensation using the
intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related Interpretations.
Accordingly, compensation cost for the Company's stock at the date of the grant
over the amount of an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company has
adopted the "disclosure only" alternative described in SFAS 123 and SFAS 148,
which require pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if
the fair value method of accounting had been applied. During the three months
ended June 30, 2004 the Company recorded $312,500 of compensation expense using
the intrinsic value method for shares to employees. The Company also recorded
$190,769 of compensation expense for options issued to non-employees using the
fair value method.
Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the
grant date for its stock options issued to employees under SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's net loss would have
been reported as follows:

individual for a four year period, with an annual salary of $300,000 plus a
bonus upon terms of agreement.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
THE FOLLOWING ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION OF
THE COMPANY SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS, INCLUDING THE NOTES THERETO OF THE COMPANY, CONTAINED ELSEWHERE IN
THE FORM 10-KSB.
General
Samaritan Pharmaceuticals is working to ensure a longer and better
life, for patients suffering with AIDS, Alzheimer's, Cancer and Cardiovascular
disease. Samaritan is a pipeline-driven Biopharmaceutical with a clear focus on
advancing early stage innovative drugs through clinical development, to become
commercially valuable compounds. Samaritan has shaped its current pipeline of
drugs by in-licensing innovative discoveries through its Samaritan
Labs/Georgetown University collaboration; and its strategic focus is to use this
model, with other top tier Universities, to create a substantial pipeline and
gain its own commercial presence.
Concurrently, Samaritan is advancing four drug programs with Georgetown
University, SP-01A (HIV) Clinical trials, SP-10 (HIV) preIND status, SP-233
(Alzheimer's) preIND status and SP-1000 (Cardiovascular) animal studies; along
with an STTR NIH grant to develop a simple blood test to diagnose Alzheimer's.
Samaritan's proprietary HIV drug SP-01A is the closest to
commercialization. SP-01A is an easy to take, oral, "Entry Inhibitor" drug that
works by blocking the HIV virus' ability to infect a cell. Preclinical In Vitro
studies suggest that SP-01A might be a promising drug for drug resistance; as
well, as having a new sought-after "mechanism of action". The action appears to
take place in the earliest stage of the HIV lifecycle, blocking the virus rather
than attacking the virus, suggesting that SP-01A may also block the development
of drug resistance, an ever increasing problem with almost every drug presently
on the market. Resistance is the ability of HIV to reproduce itself despite the
presence of HIV drugs.
Although Anti-HIV data from Phase I and Phase II human studies are never
considered conclusive, it often serves as "proof of concept" or proof that the
compound is active against HIV in the body. SP-01A, with its FDA Phase I/II
trial for HIV-1 positive patients on stable antiretroviral therapy, generated
encouraging data, suggesting SP-01A as a promising drug for patients on
antiretroviral therapy experiencing drug resistance to available drugs. SP-01A
was safe and well tolerated; and moreover saw clinically significant decreases
in viral load; and enhancement of quality of life measures with values rapidly
retuning to baseline after discontinuing SP-01A.
To date, Samaritan has in-licensed twelve breakthrough technologies from
Georgetown University, building a unique pipeline of novel drugs, to clinically
develop, and commercialize, for its future growth. In addition, Samaritan
currently has filed sixteen patent applications to protect its growing pipeline
of innovation.

Current Research Agreement
Samaritan Pharmaceuticals has a research collaboration agreement with
Georgetown University with the objectives: (1) to develop "one molecule" drugs
and extend clinical studies to in vivo experiments in animal models simulating
Alzheimer's disease, (2) to develop an accurate, reliable diagnostic for
nuero-degeneration (Alzheimer's), and (3) to focus on new drug development in
Oncology and Neurology with the ability to protect the brain from neuronal
damage and tumor growth.
Starting with the quarter beginning April 1, 2004, the research
collaboration between Georgetown University and Samaritan budget has been
increased to a total of $1,000,000 per year to further develop Samaritan's
pipeline. The $1,000,000 is paid by Samaritan over four quarterly payments of
$250,000, is unallocated, and covers the general research and development
effort.
Under the agreement, Samaritan receives worldwide exclusive rights, to
any novel therapeutic agents or diagnostic technologies that may result from the
research collaboration. Dr. Vassilios Papadopoulos and Dr. Janet Greeson lead
their team of eight research professionals (including five Ph.D. level research
scientists) who have expertise in the fields of endocrinology, pharmacology,
cell biology, organic and steroid chemistry and computer modeling. We are not
obligated to pay Georgetown any milestone payments. Georgetown is entitled to
receive royalties based on our revenue from product sales and sublicenses, if
any. Samaritan has, at its own expense, assumed responsibility for the process
of seeking any regulatory approvals for and conducting clinical trials with
respect to any licensed product or application of the licensed technology.
Samaritan controls and has the financial responsibilities for the prosecution
and maintenance in respect to any patent rights related to the licensed
technology.
Significant Accounting Policies
A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 3 to
the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003. Management believes
that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables the Company
to provide useful and reliable financial information about the Company's
operating results and financial condition.
Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the three months ended June 30,
2003
The Company continued to have no significant revenues. During the
second quarter of 2004, we continued our research and development efforts in
connection with our drug programs for HIV/AIDS. We incurred research and
development expenses of $315,436 for the quarter; up from $199,000 in the
year-earlier period primarily due to increase in financial commitment with
Georgetown University. General and administrative expenses decreased to $388,146
for the second quarter of 2004 from $499,953 in the same period in 2003.
Depreciation and amortization amounted to $6,773 and $6,337 for three
months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Interest expense amounted to
$0 and $2,141 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The decrease is due to the retirement of notes payable during 2003.
As a result of the factors noted above, the net loss since inception on
September 5, 1994 to June 30, 2004 was $24.8 million. We had a net loss of
$710,355 and $647,431 for three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively and the loss per share stayed the same at $(0.01) per share in the
year-earlier period.
Six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the Six months ended June 30, 2003
The Company continued to have no significant revenues. During the first
six months of 2004, we continued our research and development efforts in
connection with our drug programs for HIV/AIDS. We incurred research and
development expenses of $386,695 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, the
same as in the year-earlier period. General and administrative expenses for the
six months ended June 30, 2004 increased to $1,138,622 from $889,951 in the
year-earlier period.
Depreciation and amortization amounted to $13,461 and $12,674 for six
months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Interest expense amounted to
$142 and $6,288 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The decrease is due to the retirement of notes payable during 2003.
We had a net loss of $1,538,920 for six months ended June 30, 2004 and
a net loss of $1,295,408 for the year earlier period. The loss per share was
$(0.01) for the 2004 period and $(0.02) for the 2003 period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash used in operating activities during the six months period ended
June 30, 2004 was $1,219,811, compared to $1,147,652 for the same period a year
earlier. The increase related to the Company's increased net loss, offset by
$161,706 in stock based compensation and $503,269 in stock options issued for
services.
Cash used in investing activities was $2,054,813 for the six months
period ended June 30, 2004, compared to $8,447 in for the same period in 2003.
The increase was almost entirely due to the purchases of $2,000,000 of
certificates of deposit.
Cash provided by financing activities was $7,903,489 for the six months
period ended June 30, 2004, compared to $1,094,177 in the same period for 2003.
The cash provided in the 2004 period was almost entirely from $517,500 in
proceeds from the purchase of warrants, $7,321,439 in proceeds from stock issued
for cash.
Current assets as of June 30, 2004 were $5,018,879 as compared to
current liabilities of $410,118.
To date, none of our proprietary products has reached a commercial
stage, and hence, we do not have, nor do we anticipate revenue in the near
future. We have been unprofitable since our inception and have incurred
significant losses. 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 dated April 22, 2003, described below, which we believe will
assist the Company in meetings its cash needs. Except for an agreement to sell
shares to Fusion Capital, discussed below, no commitment exists for continued
investments, or for any underwriting.
Even with our financing arrangement with Fusion Capital, we may require
substantial additional funds to sustain our operations and grow our business.
The amount of which will depend, among other things, on the rate of progress and
the cost of our research and product development programs and clinical trial
activities, the cost of preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and
enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights, and the cost of
developing manufacturing and marketing capabilities, if we decide to undertake
those activities. The clinical development of a therapeutic product is a very
expensive and lengthy process and may be expected to utilize $5 to $20 million
over a three to six year development cycle. Although we believe we could license
the manufacturing and marketing rights to our products in return for up-front
licensing and other fees and royalties on any sales, there can be no assurance
that we will be able to do so in the event we seek to do so. We need to obtain
additional funds to develop our therapeutics products and our future access to
capital is uncertain. The allocation of limited resources is an ongoing issue
for us as we move from research activities into the more costly clinical
investigations required to bring therapeutic products to market.
The extent we rely on Fusion Capital as a source of funding will depend
on a number of factors including, the prevailing market price of our common
stock and the extent to which we are able to secure working capital from other
sources. If obtaining sufficient financing from Fusion Capital were to prove
prohibitively expensive, we will need to secure another source of funding in
order to satisfy our working capital needs. Even if we are able to access the
full $10.0 million under the common stock purchase agreement with Fusion
Capital, we may still need additional capital to fully implement our business,
operating and development plans. If we are unable to obtain additional financing
we might be required to delay, scale back or eliminate certain of our research
and product development programs or clinical trials, or be required to license
third parties to commercialize products or technologies that we would otherwise
undertake ourselves, or cease certain operations all together, any of which
might have a material adverse effect upon us. If we raise additional funds by
issuing equity securities, dilution to stockholders may result, and new
investors could have rights superior to existing holders of shares. Should the
financing we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or
prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences would be a material
adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, and
prospects.
The SEC declared effective the Company's registration statement on Form
SB-2, Commission Registration No. 333-105818, on October 9, 2003 (as amended and
supplemented from time to time, "Registration Statement"). Under the
Registration Statement, certain selling shareholders may sell shares of Common
Stock, acquired from the Company. The Company will 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 Registration Statement registered a total of 18,125,000
shares (inclusive of the 3,125,000 shares issued to Fusion Capital as a
commitment fee) assuming Fusion Capital purchases all $10.0 million of common
stock. There were no proceeds under this registration statement during this
quarter.
We have been able to substantially meet our cash needs during the past
12 months. We believe we will be able to continue to fund our operations for the
next 12 months with the cash on hand. We continue to explore avenues to obtain
the capital needed for our operations through private placements and by sale of
our shares to Fusion Capital.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report and other oral and written statements made by us to the
public contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe
harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such

Item 3. Controls and Procedures
(A) Evaluation Of Disclosure Controls And Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried
out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the
Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to
provide a reasonable level of assurance of achieving the Company's disclosure
control objectives. The Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal
Accounting Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures are, in fact, effective at this reasonable assurance level as of the
period covered.
(B) Changes In Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
In connection with the evaluation of the Company's internal controls
during the Company's quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Company's Principal
Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have determined that there are
no changes to the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially effect, the Company's
internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
None.
Item 2. Changes in Securities.
Securities, unregistered, were sold by the Company in the second
quarter of 2004 under an exemption from registration. The 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,
not affiliated with the Company, 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 legended 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.
Management notes that stock was issued as follows during the three months ended
June 30, 2004.
