NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2007
NOTE A – RESTATEMENT
The balance sheet at July 31, 2007, was restated to account for the terms of a consulting agreement dated February 5, 2007 with an officer of the Company. Pursuant to the agreement 1,666,667 shares (post-split) of common stock are to be issued as a bonus for not receiving payment of accrued consulting fees due him for 2005 and 2006. The agreement also called for a decrease in his monthly fee from $8,900 to $7,500. Accrued payroll taxes were also adjusted to account for the stock based payment.
The amounts as originally filed and as restated are as follows:
| | As Restated | | As Originally Filed | |
| | | | | |
Accrued consulting fees – officers | | $ | 257,800 | | $ | 266,200 | |

NOTE B - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Results for the three months ended October 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending July 31, 2008.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2007
NOTE C - GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has had no revenues, has negative working capital of $1,113,584, an accumulated deficit of $14,608,538, stockholders’ deficiency of $1,104,467, and is considered a company in the development stage. Management’s plans include the raising of capital through the equity markets to fund future operations. Failure to raise adequate capital could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations. Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses, there can be no assurance that the revenue will be sufficient to enable it to develop business to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE D – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On December 9, 2007, the Company entered into three private placement agreements totaling 650,000 units at a price of $0.10 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase four shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. The warrants are exercisable for two years.
ITEM 2 -MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes included in this report as well as the “Risk Factors” set forth in Section 1A of our annual report on Form 10-KSB, which are incorporated herein by reference. This report contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The statements contained in this report that are not historic in nature, particularly those that utilize terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "believes," or "plans" or comparable terminology are forward-looking statements based on current expectations and assumptions.
Various risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements in this document are based on information currently available to us as of the date of this report, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
General
We are a development stage company that was established to focus on the research and development of novel all-natural drugs for a better quality of life by using the best of traditional medicines from nature. Our goal is to be a world leader and contributor in the treatment of HIV naturally through the use of immune-based therapies. An immune-based therapy is defined as any treatment geared toward reestablishing proper functioning of the immune system or directly helping the immune system to fight a virus, i.e. HIV/AIDS.
Our Corporate History
On February 20, 2004, Asyst Corporation acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Amazon Biotech, Inc., a Delaware corporation pursuant to a securities purchase agreement and plan of reorganization. Under the plan of reorganization, Asyst issued 16,000,000 shares of its common stock to the stockholders of Amazon Biotech in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Amazon Biotech. Upon the completion of the reorganization, the former directors of Amazon Biotech were appointed as directors of Asyst. On March 10, 2004, Asyst amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to “Amazon Biotech, Inc.”
Since the stockholders of Amazon Biotech (Delaware) owned approximately 99% of our outstanding voting shares after giving effect to the acquisition, and since we were a development stage company with limited operations before the acquisition, Amazon Biotech, (Delaware) is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes, and the transaction has been reflected as a recapitalization of Amazon Biotech (Delaware). In a recapitalization, the historical stockholders’ equity of Amazon Biotech (Delaware) prior to the merger will be retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares received in the merger after giving effect to any difference in par value of our stock and Amazon Biotech’s stock by an offset to capital.
Recent Developments
On December 9, 2007, the Company entered into three private placement agreements for 650,000 units at a price of $0.10 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase four shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. The warrants are exercisable for two years.
Plan of Operation
To help substantiate our immune modulator claim, AMZ0026 has been granted an IND (investigational new drug) status and is approved for Phase I/II clinical studies by the FDA. We plan to begin Phase I/II clinical trials of our AMZ0026 drug once we receive sufficient operating capital. At present, we are unable to settle our future cash requirements.
We also plan two small studies. One is an anti-viral study comparing antiviral activity of AMZ0026 to AMZ0026-H in animals. The other is a CYP3A metabolism / inhibition study
The company has the goal of a joint venture with a multinational pharmaceutical company to conduct Phase III trials.
We also own the rights to a natural hair growth product that contains proprietary herbal ingredients. We may conduct a small study on this product following the Phase I/II clinical study of AMZ 0026.
We intend to increase the number of our employees to eight in the event we are able raise sufficient operating capital.
Purchase or Sale of Equipment
We do not expect to purchase or sell any plant or significant equipment. We expect to purchase some office equipment up to a maximum of $20,000 with a portion of any capital proceeds.
Revenues
We had no revenues for the period from October 10, 2002 (inception) through October 31, 2007. We currently have limited working capital with which to satisfy our cash requirements. As of October 31, 2007, we had negative working capital of $1,113,584. We will require significant additional capital in order to fund the Phase I/II clinical studies of our drug known as AMZ 0026.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our balance sheet as of October 31, 2007, reflects total assets of $137,905. Cash and cash equivalents from inception to date have been insufficient to provide the working capital necessary to operate to date.
We have financed our operations primarily through private sales of equity securities. We have accepted deposits of $29,800 during the three months ended October 31, 2007, and $169,971 during the year ended July 31, 2007, to purchase our common stock. We raised approximately $130,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of common stock and warrants in our fiscal year ended July 31, 2006. We raised approximately $350,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of common stock and warrants in our fiscal year ended July 31, 2005. In addition, we raised approximately $268,500 in gross proceeds from the sale of common stock and warrants in our fiscal year ending July 31, 2004.
We anticipate that we will need at least $2,500,000 in additional working capital in order to satisfy our contemplated cash requirements for our current proposed plans and assumptions relating to our operations for a period of approximately 12 months. However, our expectations are based on certain assumptions concerning the costs involved in the clinical trials. These assumptions concern future events and circumstances that our officers believe to be significant to our operations and upon which our working capital requirements will depend. Some assumptions will invariably not materialize and some unanticipated events and circumstances may occur subsequent to the date of this quarterly report. We will continue to seek to fund our capital requirements over the next 12 months from the additional sale of our securities; however, it is possible that we will be unable to obtain sufficient additional capital through the sale of our securities as needed.
We intend to retain any future earnings to retire existing debt, finance the expansion of our business and any necessary capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources.
Going Concern Consideration
Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the financial statements included in Form 10-KSB for the year ended July 31, 2007, regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM 3 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have reviewed the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)) within the last ninety days and have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported in a timely manner with the exception of those controls surrounding the issuance of the Company's common stock.
There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the last day they were evaluated by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Items 1, 3, 4 and 5 are not applicable.
