Condensed Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010
NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at September 30, 2011, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2010 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has evaluated recent accounting pronouncements and their adoption has not had or is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or statements.

September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010
NOTE 4 – ACCOUNTS PAYABLE-RELATED PARTY
Shareholders of the Company have advanced the corporation $250 as of September 30, 2011. The liability is non interest bearing, is unsecured and is due and payable upon demand. In addition, the Company owes trade accounts payable to a related party in the amount of $1,678 at September 30, 2011.
NOTE 5 – SALE OF PATENTS
On January 31, 2011, Protect Pharmaceutical Corporation (the “Company”) finalized and closed a Patent Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Grünenthal GmbH (“Grünenthal”), a company organized under the laws of Germany. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company sold to Grünenthal all of the Company’s rights title and interest in and to certain inventions described and claimed in certain patents and patent applications (collectively “the Patents”), including without limitation, all extensions, continuations, provisions, derivatives and related applications thereof. The Patents relate to Opioid Formulations and Methods of treating acute and chronic pain.
In exchange for the Patents, Grünenthal paid the Company $1,600,000. The Company originally acquired the subject Patents sold to Grünenthal, together with other inventions and patents, in February 2010 pursuant to a Patent Acquisition Agreement with Nectid, Inc. (“Nectid”), a privately held New Jersey company. Under the terms of the Patent Acquisition Agreement and Addendum, the Company agreed that in the event the Company sold out right any of the patents acquired from Nectid without first undertaking any development of the patents, the proceeds from such sale would be divided, 60% to Nectid and 40% to the Company. Accordingly, the Company realized 40%, or $640,000 from the proceeds of the sale and the balance will be paid to Nectid. The Company retains all other inventions, patents and technologies initially acquired from Nectid.
The Company’s Chief Operating Officer and director is the inventor of all the Patents and is also a principal and former President of Nectid. The director was not affiliated with the Company at the time the Patents were initially acquired from Nectid in February 2010. Although Nectid was not a party to the Agreement with Grünenthal, it will benefit pursuant to the terms of its Patent Acquisition Agreement and Addendum with the Company.
NOTE 6 - STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
On June 17, 2011, Protect Pharmaceutical Corporation finalized the execution of an Investment Agreement with Kodiak Capital Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The Agreement provides the Company with an equity line whereby the Company can sell to Kodiak, from time-to-time, shares of the Company’s common stock up to an aggregate value of $10 million dollars over a two-year period. As part of the agreement, the Company will file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 to register the common stock that may be sold to Kodiak pursuant to the Agreement.
Under the terms of the Agreement, The Company has the right to deliver to Kodiak a “put notice” stating the dollar amount of common shares we intend to sell to Kodiak, up to $250,000. The amount that the Company is entitled to sell to Kodiak under any single put notice will be equal to, at Kodiak's election, either: (i) 200% of the average daily volume (U.S. market only) of the common stock for the three trading days prior to the put notice, multiplied by the average of the three daily closing bid prices immediately preceding the put notice date; or (ii) up to $250,000.

Condensed Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010
NOTE 6 - STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (CONTINUED)
The Company cannot submit a new put notice until after the closing of the previous notice. The purchase price for the shares pursuant to the put notice will be equal to 92% of the lowest closing best bid price of the common stock during the five trading days after the put notice is delivered. The shares must be paid for and share certificates delivered within the “pricing period,” which is seven days from the date the put notice is delivered.
The Company has the option to specify a floor price for any put notice. In the event our shares fall below the floor price, the put will be temporarily suspended. The put will resume if, during the pricing period for that put, the common stock trades above the floor price.
The Company has agreed to pay to Kodiak an initial fee of 150,000 shares of common stock following execution of the Agreement. Also, the Company has agreed to pay Kodiak a commitment fee equal to 3% of the total amount of the commitment, payable as follows: (i) 25% on the first closing of a put notice; (ii) 25% on the second closing, (iii) 25% on the third closing; and (iv) 25% on the fourth closing or eight months from execution of the Agreement. The commitment fee is payable in Company common stock.
In connection with the Agreement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Kodiak, whereby the Company agreed to register with the SEC the shares to be issued pursuant to the Agreement. The Company must prepare and file within 90 days from the date of the Agreement, a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sale of common stock pursuant to the Agreement for general corporate and working capital purposes and acquisitions of assets, businesses or operations, or for other purposes that the board of directors deems to be in the best interest of the Company.
NOTE 7 – COMMON STOCK
On June 20, 2011, the Company received written consent from its majority stockholders to amend the Company’s articles of incorporation to change the authorized capitalization. The board of directors previously approved the resolution to increase the number of authorized common stock from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares and to authorize 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred shares.
The newly authorized preferred shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series in the discretion of the board of directors. The board will have the authority to establish the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof.
The Company will file with the SEC and information statement pursuant to Schedule 14C announcing the action to amend our articles of incorporation by written consent. We anticipate the information statement will be mailed to stockholders on or about July 7, 2011. The Company anticipates a certificate of amendment related to the change in capitalization will be filed with the State of Nevada with an effective date on or about July 29, 2011.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements relating to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will” “should," “expect," "intend," "plan," anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "continue," or similar terms, variations of such terms or the negative of such terms. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors included in our periodic reports with the SEC. Although forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment, actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
We are considered a development stage company with limited capital and no current revenues. We do not expect to realize revenues until we are successful in developing, achieving approval and marketing one or more of our drug delivery technologies or solutions. We anticipate that in the near term, ongoing expenses, including the costs associated with the preparation and filing of requisite reports with the SEC, will be paid for by advances from stockholders or from the private sale of securities, either debt or equity. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to realize such funds on terms favorable to us, or at all.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
We did not realize revenues for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 (“third quarter”), we recorded total expenses of $163,571, consisting of $97,054 in executive compensation, $41,856 in professional fees and $24,661 in general and administrative expenses. In the comparable period of 2010 we recorded expenses totaling $17,585 in general and administrative expenses. These factors resulted in a net loss for the third quarter of 2011 in the amount of $163,571 ($0.00 per share), compared to a net loss of $17,585 ($0.00 per share) for the three months ended September 30, 2010.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
We did not realize revenues for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we recorded total expenses of $897,707, consisting primarily of $366,233 in executive compensation, $328,216 in professional fees, and $123,192 in research and development. Also, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of 2011 were $80,066. In the comparable period of 2010 we recorded expenses totaling $6,581,800, resulting primarily from $5,156,100 in executive compensation and $1,250,000 in research and development. The 2010 expenses were mostly related to the acquisition of patent acquisitions. We also recognized a gain on sale of patents in the amount of $640,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. These factors resulted in net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 in the amount of $257,707 ($0.01 per share), compared to a net loss of $6,581,800 ($0.17 per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total assets at September 30, 2011 were $48,190 in cash, compared to $-0- at December 31, 2010. Total liabilities at September 30, 2011 were $461,350, consisting primarily of $361,224 in accrued officer salaries and accounts payable of $98,198. At December 31, 2010, total liabilities were $459,203, consisting primarily of $150,000 in accounts payable to a related party and $224,658 in accrued officer salaries.
Because currently we have no revenues, for the immediate future we will have to rely on our existing cash reserves to continue to implement our business activities. It is likely the only source of funding our future operations will be through the private sale of our securities, either equity or debt.
At September 30, 2011, we had stockholders’ deficit of $413,160 compared to a stockholders’ deficit of $459,203 at December 31, 2010. The decreased deficit is primarily due to the increase in cash from the sale of patent acquisitions combined with relatively stable liabilities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011.
Plan of Operation
We are developing new generation drug delivery technologies that we believe will enable products with improved clinical benefits. We believe our drugs will offer enhanced pain relief and reduced tolerance/physical dependence, reduced addiction potential and side effects compared to existing neuropathic and fibromyalgia drugs and opioid painkillers. We intend to conduct our research and development through collaborative programs. We anticipate relying on arrangements with third party drug developers such as contract research organizations and clinical research sites for a significant portion of our product development efforts.
We expect to incur significant operating losses for the next several years and until we are able to formulate a commercially viable product. We also expect to continue to incur significant operating and capital expenditures and anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as we:
● continue to undertake formulation of novel products and subsequent preclinical and clinical trials for our product candidates;
● seek regulatory approvals for our product candidates;
● develop, formulate, manufacture and commercialize our drugs;
● implement additional internal systems and develop new infrastructure;
● acquire or in-license additional products or technologies, or expand the use of our technology;
● maintain, defend and expand the scope of our intellectual property; and
● hire additional personnel.
Future product revenue will depend on our ability to receive regulatory approvals for, and successfully market, our product candidates. In the event that our development efforts result in regulatory approval and successful commercialization of our product candidates, we will generate revenue from direct sales of our products and/or, if we license our products to future collaborators, from the receipt of license fees and royalties from licensed products.
Management estimates that our research and development expenses for the next 12 months will be approximately $2.5 million, primarily for research and pilot studies. We also estimate that other expenses, including personnel, general and administrative and miscellaneous expenses could be as much as $1.5 million during the same time period. Because we currently have no revenues, most likely the only source of funding these expenses will be through he private sale of our securities, either equity or debt. If we are unable to secure the necessary funding, our research and development plans will be delayed indefinitely. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the funds necessary to carry out our business plan on terms favorable to the company, or at all.
Net Operating Loss
We have accumulated approximately $471,011 of net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2010. This loss carry forward may be offset against taxable income and income taxes in future years and expires starting in the year 2011 through 2031. The use of these losses to reduce future income taxes will depend on the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards. In the event of certain changes in control, there will be an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that can be used. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements for fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 or the nine months ended September 30, 2011, because it has been fully offset by a valuation reserve. The use of future tax benefit is undeterminable because presently we have not started full operations.
Inflation
In the opinion of management, inflation has not and will not have a material effect on our operations in the immediate future. Management will continue to monitor inflation and evaluate the possible future effects of inflation on our business and operations.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

This item is not required for a smaller reporting company.
Item 4(T). | Controls and Procedures. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure and control procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and principal accounting officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and principal accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, management is required to apply its reasonable judgment. Based on the evaluation described above, management, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, has concluded that, as of September 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Management has evaluated whether any change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Based on its evaluation, management, including the chief executive officer and principal accounting officer, has concluded that there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
