Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Curaxis Pharmaceutical Corporation
(A Development Stage Company):
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Curaxis Pharmaceutical Corporation (a Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2009, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 and the changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), for the period from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2009. 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 did not audit the financial statements of Curaxis Pharmaceutical Corporation for the period from inception to December 31, 2005.
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 the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about 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 audit 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 disc losures in the financial statements, 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, based on our audits, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Curaxis Pharmaceutical Corporation as of December 31, 2008 and 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, and the changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), for the period from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is in the development stage, has incurred losses from operations since its inception and has a net stockholders’ deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Curaxis Pharmaceutical Corporation
(A Development Stage Corporation)
Notes to Financial Statements
(1) Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Curaxis Pharmaceutical Corporation was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 27, 2001 under the name Angel Care America, Inc. to develop clinical applications of its Alzheimer’s treatment. On March 20, 2001, a separate corporation called Voyager Pharmaceutical Corporation (“Old Voyager”) was incorporated in Delaware with the intent of focusing exclusively on research, clinical trials, and FDA approval. On November 28, 2001, Old Voyager was merged into Angel Care America, Inc., and the company’s name was changed to Voyager Pharmaceutical Corporation. On December 2, 2009, the name of Voyager Pharmaceutical Corporation was changed to Curaxis Pharmaceutical Corporation (the “Company”). Prior to the merger, the Company and Old Voyager were entities under common control and, accordingly, the accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Old Voyager from March 20, 2001 (the date of Old Voyager’s inception) through November 28, 2001 (the date of its merger with Angel Care America, Inc.). The Company is dedicated to finding cures for major age-related diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, by bringing treatment to market through FDA approval.
The Company is a development stage company and has focused its efforts to date on raising capital and research and development. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has a limited operating history and has incurred losses from operations since its inception. The cash position of the Company has deteriorated significantly over the last three years and the Company has been unable to satisfy its outstanding liabilities with many vendors. In late 2006, the company terminated its’ Phase III clinical trial VP-AD-301 and in 2007 closed its’ research facility.
In 2009, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Southridge Business Solutions LLC (“Southridge”) and Canterbury Investment Partners LLC (“Canterbury”) in order to restructure its’ balance sheet and establish a trading market for its common stock. Under the terms of those agreements, Southridge and Canterbury will assist the Company in negotiating settlements with its creditors to eliminate or substantially reduce and defer its trade debt and assist the Company in merging with a publicly traded corporation to establish a public trading market for its stock. Further, upon consummation of a merger transaction, Southridge will assist the Company in securing an equity facility under which the Company can periodically, over a period of two years, sell up to $20 million of i ts common stock to Southridge. The proceeds of the equity facility will be used to fund further development of the Company’s lead drug candidate through to commercialization.
Although management continues to work with Southridge and Canterbury to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing the proposed merger transaction and obtaining the necessary funding or financing on terms acceptable to the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
In May 2003, the Company affected a 3-for-1 stock split of its common stock in the form of a stock dividend.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2010 and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of these interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. All references to June 30, 2010 or to the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are unaudited.

(1) Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash, cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses, capital lease obligations, notes payable and deferred credits. The carrying values of the short-term financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair values of the long-term lease and notes payable obligations reflect that which would have been paid if the obligations were settled at year-end.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost and consist of bank deposits and a money market fund that invests in short-term debt securities. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Equipment acquired under capital leases is initially recorded at the present value of the minimum lease payments at inception of the lease.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements and equipment held under capital leases are amortized over the related lease terms, which is shorter than the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the book value of the assets may not be recoverable. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, (“SFAS No. 144”) codified in ASC 360-10-35-15 Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, recoverability is measured by comparing the book value of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
No events or changes in circumstances have been identified which would impact the recoverability of the Company’s long-lived assets reported at December 31, 2007, 2008, or 2009.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R Share-based Payment, codified in ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, to stock-based compensation awards. SFAS No. 123R requires the measurement and recognition of non-cash compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options related to our 2001 Stock Option Plan and 2005 Stock Option Plan, based on fair values. The Company adopted this Statement on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective application.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

(1) Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Stock compensation arrangements with non-employee service providers are accounted for in accordance with EITF No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, codified in ASC 505-50 Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, using a fair value approach. The compensation costs of these arrangements are subject to remeasurement over the vesting terms as earned.
Stock Purchase Warrants
The Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. Warrants have been accounted for as equity in accordance with the provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-19: Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock, codified in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.
Research and Development
Research and development costs include all direct costs related to the development of the Company’s products, including clinical trial costs, salaries and related benefits of personnel, costs of producing drug material for clinical trials and fees paid to consultants. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Segment Reporting
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, codified in ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about the Company’s operating segments. The Company operates in one business segment, the business of discovery, development and commercialization of pharmaceutical treatments for major age-related diseases.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company has established a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of such assets.
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty Income Taxes, codified in ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes- Overall-Recognition. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on our financial condition or results of operations as a result of adopting FIN 48. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and /or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense as incurred.

Comprehensive Loss
The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income (“SFAS No. 130”), codified in ASC 220, Comprehensive Income which establishes rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components. For all periods presented, there were no differences between net loss and comprehensive loss.
Certain Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s product candidates under development require approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other international regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance our products will receive the necessary clearance. If the Company is denied clearance or clearance is delayed, it may have a material adverse impact on the Company.
The Company’s product is concentrated in rapidly changing, highly competitive markets, which are characterized by rapid technological advances, changes in customer requirements and evolving regulatory requirements and industry standards. Any failure by the Company to anticipate or to respond adequately to technological developments in our industry, changes in customer requirements or changes in regulatory requirements or industry standards, or any significant delays in the development or introduction of products or services, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and future cash flows. The Company relies on one corporation as a sole source provider of Memryte for use in its clinical trials.

(6) Stock Option Plan
During 2001, the Company adopted the 2001 Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Plan”) under which 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was reserved for issuance to employees, directors and consultants. Options granted under the Plan may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. On January 31, 2005, the Company adopted the 2005 Stock Option Plan (the “2005 Plan”) with terms and conditions similar to the 2001 Plan under which 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance to employees, directors and consultants. The Board of Directors determines the exercise price, term and the period over which options become exercisable at each grant date. The Board of Directors determines what it deems to be the fair market value of the stock based on the price per share of the most recent private placement of common stock and other relevant information. Since inception, all options were granted to employees with an exercise price equal to the deemed fair value of the common stock on the date of grant. Under the 2001 Plan and the 2005 Plan, options vest over various periods, generally annually over five years, and expire not more than ten years after the date of grant.
The Company has granted 684,000 stock options outside of the approved 2001 Plan and 2005 Plan to several consultants that vested upon completion of certain services. In addition, the Company has granted 53,000 options under the 2005 Plan to other non-employees. Upon adoption of ASC 718, the Company continues to account for the resulting non-employee stock-based compensation for all options granted to non-employees based on the estimated fair value of the options, determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, in accordance with ASC 505-50, and amortizes such expense on a straight –line basis. The measurement date for the calculation of compensation expense is considered to be the date when all services have been rendered or the date that options are fully vested.
During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 and the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense/(benefit) related to its stock option plans in the accompanying statements of operations as follows (in thousands):

(6) Stock Option Plan (continued)
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Company calculated the fair value of employee stock options for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2009 and the six months ended June 30, 2010, using the following assumptions:
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Risk-free interest rate | | 3.49 to 5.10% | | | 2.28 to 3.06% | | | | 3.20 | % |
Expected term (in years) | | | 7.5 | | | | 7.5 | | | | 7.5 | |
Expected volatility | | | 100 | % | | | 100 | % | | | 100 | % |
Expected dividends | | | 0 | % | | | 0 | % | | | 0 | % |
No stock options were granted during the year ended December 31, 2008.
The risk-free rate is estimated to equal U.S. Treasury security rates for applicable terms. Estimated volatility is based on the historical stock price volatility of comparable companies’ common stock, as our stock is not publicly traded. The Company does have sufficient history of exercise behavior to develop estimates of expected term since as of December 31, 2009, no options issued since inception of the plans have been exercised. The expected terms is based on the estimated time period to elapse prior to commercialization of the Company’s initial product. For options to outside consultants, the Company uses a term which is equal to the average the period required for the options to fully vest and the contractual life of the option. As the Company gathers more history regardin g its option exercise pattern, and as information regarding the option pattern of comparable companies in its industry becomes publically available, it will review these estimates and revise them as appropriate. Different estimates of volatility and expected term could materially change the value of an option and the resulting expense.
The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity under the 2001 Plan, the 2005 Plan, as well as 674,000 options granted to consultants outside of the 2001 and 2005 Plans, including number of shares (“Number”) and weighted average exercise price (“WAEP”) for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 and the six months ended June 30, 2010:

(7) Earnings Per Share
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share (“SFAS No. 128”), codified in ASC 260, basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed similarly to basic net loss per share, except that the denominator is increased to include all potential dilutive common shares, including outstanding options and warrants. Potentially dilutive common shares have been excluded from the diluted loss per common share computation for each of the two years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 because such securities have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share due to the Company’s net loss.

(8) Income Taxes (continued)
At December 31, 2008 and 2009, the Company provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets since realization of these benefits is not considered to be more likely than not. The increase in the valuation allowance of $2.8 million and $750 thousand for 2007 and 2008, respectively, resulted primarily from the additional net operating loss carryforward generated. The decrease in the valuation allowance of $1.9 million for 2009 resulted from the reduction in the net operating loss carryforward of $6.5 million. The reduction represents the gain recognized on the settlement of trade debt which was excluded from taxable income due to the insolvent status of the Company immediately prior the discharge of debt.
At December 31, 2009, the Company had Federal net operating loss carryforwards of $82.4 million that expire in varying amounts between 2021 and 2029, and state net operating loss carryforwards of $82.4 million that expire in varying amounts between 2017 and 2024. Additionally, the Company has research and development credit carryforwards of $2.8 million as of December 31, 2009 for Federal tax purposes that expire in varying amounts between 2022 and 2027.
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions which limit the ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards in the case of certain events including significant changes in ownership interests. If the Company’s NOLs and/or tax credits are limited, and the Company has taxable income which exceeds the permissible yearly NOL, the Company would incur a Federal income and/or state tax liability even though NOLs would be available in future years.
Taxes computed at the statutory Federal income tax rate of 34 percent are reconciled to the provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31 as follows (in thousands):
