L.A.M. PHARMACEUTICAL, CORP. Common Stock 1,742,242 shares of common stock By means of this prospectus several shareholders of L.A.M. Pharmaceutical Corp. are offering to sell up to 1,742,242 shares of common stock which they own or which they may at a later date acquire upon the exercise of options or warrants. L.A.M. will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the selling stockholders. L.A.M. will pay for the expenses of this offering. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. These securities are speculative and involve a high degree of risk. For a description of certain important factors that should be considered by prospective investors, see "Risk Factors" beginning on page 6 of this prospectus L.A.M.'s common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "LAMP." On February __, 2003 the closing bid price for one share of L.A.M.'s common stock was $___. The date of this prospectus is February __, 2003 PROSPECTUS SUMMARY L.A.M, Pharmaceutical, Corp. was incorporated in Delaware in July 1998. In September 1998, L.A.M. acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of LAM Pharmaceuticals LLC ("LAM") for 6,000,000 shares of L.A.M.'s common stock. LAM Pharmaceuticals LLC was organized in Florida in 1994 (initially as a partnership) to commercialize a new drug delivery system which offers patients, among other benefits, safer and more effective treatment for a number of serious diseases. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to L.A.M. include LAM Pharmaceuticals LLC. L.A.M. is the owner of a proprietary wound healing and transdermal drug delivery technology that involves the use of an original L.A.M. Ionic Polymer Matrix technology (L.A.M. IPM(TM)) for the purpose of delivering, enhancing and sustaining the action of certain established therapeutic agents. The L.A.M. IPM(TM) technology combines in a matrix, in a novel manner, those drugs that are well established and generally regarded by the public, the regulatory authorities and pharmaceutical industry as safe. When combined with the active drug ingredient, the L.A.M. Ionic Polymer Matrix(TM) technology allows the delivery of greater amounts of drug to the target area than is otherwise possible. The L.A.M. Ionic Polymer Matrix(TM) technology therefore offers potential benefits by providing faster and more prolonged therapeutic activity, less intrusive and less painful methods of delivery and a faster onset of therapeutic activity. L.A.M.'s corporate objective is to develop, market and license wound healing and transdermally delivered drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter, using the patented L.A.M. Ionic Polymer Matrix(TM) technology. L.A.M. intends to seek out corporate alliances and co-marketing partnerships where other drugs and topical products can be enhanced by L.A.M. IPM(TM) technology. On April 15, 2002, L.A.M. obtained approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") of its Section 510(k) pre-market notification of intent (number K020325) to market its proprietary L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM). Commercial sales of this product began in August 2002. All of L.A.M's other products are in various stages of development and testing, and L.A.M. has not obtained FDA approval for any of these other products. As a result, to date L.A.M. has not generated any significant revenues from the sale of pharmaceutical products, and expects to incur losses until significant revenues are earned from the sale of L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM) or other products. L.A.M.'s executive offices are located 800 Sheppard Avenue West, Commercial Unit 1, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M3H 6B4. L.A.M.'s telephone number is (877) 526-7717 and its fax number is (416) 633-2363 L.A.M.'s Head Office and Laboratory is located at 755 Center Street, Lewiston, New York. L.A.M.'s telephone number is (877) 526-7717 and its fax number is (716) 754-2043. The Offering By means of this prospectus several shareholders of L.A.M. Pharmaceutical Corp. are offering to sell up to 1,742,242 shares of common stock which they own or which they may at a later date acquire upon the exercise of options or warrants. In this prospectus L.A.M. refers to these persons as the selling shareholders. As of January 31, 2003, L.A.M. had 29,447,092 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The number of outstanding shares does not give effect to shares which may be issued pursuant to the exercise and/or conversion of options, warrants and convertible notes previously issued by L.A.M. See "Comparative Share Data". L.A.M. will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling shareholders. The purchase of the securities offered by this prospectus involves a high degree of risk. Risk factors include the lack of revenues and history of loss, and the need for additional capital. See the "Risk Factors" section of this prospectus for additional Risk Factors.

When used in this prospectus, the words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements may include statements regarding seeking business opportunities, payment of operating expenses, and the like, and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which could cause actual results to differ materially from projections or estimates. Factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially, are discussed at length under the heading "Risk Factors". Should one or more of the enumerated risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, all of which speak only as of the date made. RISK FACTORS The securities being offered hereby are highly speculative and prospective investors should consider, among others, the following factors related to the business, operations and financial position of L.A.M. Although L.A.M has received approval for L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM) in April 2002, there is no guarantee that L.A.M. will receive regulatory approval for its other products. Failure to obtain regulatory approvals for its other products will prevent L.A.M. from marketing them and may significantly and adversely affect its future financial performance. The pre-clinical and clinical testing, manufacturing, and marketing of L.A.M.'s drug delivery systems is subject to extensive regulation by numerous governmental authorities in the United States and in other countries, including, but not limited to, the United States Food and Drug Administration. Among other requirements, FDA approval, including a review of the manufacturing processes and facilities used to produce drug delivery products, is required before these products may be marketed in the United States. Similarly, marketing approval by a foreign governmental authority is typically required before L.A.M.'s drug delivery systems may be marketed in a particular foreign country. With the exception of L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM), L.A.M.'s other products have not been approved by the FDA or any foreign authority. L.A.M does not expect to be profitable until significant revenues are generated from sales of L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM), or unless and until its drug delivery products now under development receive FDA or foreign regulatory approval and are commercialized successfully. In order to obtain FDA approval of a product L.A.M. must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the FDA that the product is safe and effective for its intended uses and that L.A.M. is capable of manufacturing the product with procedures that conform to the FDA's regulations, which must be followed at all times. The process of obtaining FDA approvals can be costly, time consuming, and subject to unanticipated delay. There can be no assurance that additional approvals will be granted to L.A.M. on a timely basis, or at all. In addition to delays in review and approval of pre-clinical and clinical testing, delays or rejection may also be encountered based upon changes in applicable law or regulatory policy during the period of product development and FDA regulatory review. Any failure to obtain, or any delay in obtaining FDA approvals would adversely affect the ability of L.A.M. to market its other products. Moreover, even if FDA approval is granted, any approval may include significant limitations on indicated uses for which a product could be marketed. Both before and after approval is obtained, a product and its manufacturer are subject to comprehensive regulatory oversight. Violations of regulatory requirements at any stage, including the pre-clinical and clinical testing process, the approval process, or thereafter (including after approval), may result in adverse consequences, including the FDA's delay in approving or refusal to approve a product, withdrawal of an approved product from the market, and/or the imposition of criminal penalties against the manufacturer. In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems relating to a marketed product may result in restrictions on such product or manufacturer including withdrawal of the product from the market. Also, new government requirements may be established that could delay or prevent regulatory approval of L.A.M.'s products under development. If sales of L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM) do not meet expectations, or cost estimates for clinical trials and research of L.A.M.'s other products are inaccurate, L.A.M. will require additional funding. L.A.M.'s estimates of the future sales of L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM) may be substantially higher than the actual revenues from this product, and its estimates of the costs associated with future clinical trials and research may each be substantially lower than the actual costs of these activities. If L.A.M.'s revenue or cost estimates are incorrect, L.A.M. will need additional funding for its research efforts. There can be no assurance that L.A.M. will achieve or maintain a competitive position or that other technological developments will not cause L.A.M.'s proprietary technologies to become uneconomical or obsolete. The biomedical field in which L.A.M. is involved is undergoing rapid and significant technological change. The successful development of therapeutic agents and products will depend on L.A.M.'s ability to be in the technological forefront of this field. There can be no assurance that L.A.M. will achieve or maintain a competitive position or that other technological developments will not cause L.A.M.'s proprietary technologies to become uneconomical or obsolete. L.A.M.'s patents might not protect L.A.M.'s technology from competitors. Certain aspects of L.A.M.'s technologies are covered by U.S. patents. In addition, L.A.M. has a number of patent applications pending. There is no assurance that the applications still pending or which may be filed in the future will result in the issuance of any patents. Furthermore, there is no assurance as to the breadth and degree of protection any issued patents might afford L.A.M. Disputes may arise between L.A.M. and others as to the scope, validity and ownership rights of these or other patents. Any defense of the patents could prove costly and time consuming and there can be no assurance that L.A.M. will be in a position, or will deem it advisable, to carry on such a defense. Other private and public concerns may have filed applications for, or may have been issued, patents and are expected to obtain additional patents and other proprietary rights to technology potentially useful or necessary to L.A.M. The scope and validity of such patents, if any, are presently unknown. Also, as far as L.A.M. relies upon unpatented proprietary technology, there is no assurance that others may not acquire or independently develop the same or similar technology. L.A.M. has a history of losses and may never be profitable. L.A.M. has never earned a profit. As of September 30, 2002 L.A.M.'s accumulated deficit was approximately $(22,940,000). L.A.M. expects to incur additional losses during the forseeable future. No assurance can be given that the launch of L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM) will be successful, or that L.A.M.'s other product development efforts will be completed, that regulatory approvals will be obtained, that they will be manufactured and marketed successfully, or that L.A.M. will ever earn a profit. If L.A.M. cannot obtain additional capital, L.A.M. may have to delay or postpone development and research expenditures which may influence L.A.M.'s ability to produce a timely and competitive product. This offering is being made on behalf of certain selling shareholders. L.A.M. will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares offered by the selling shareholders. Clinical and other studies necessary to obtain approval of a new drug can be time consuming and costly. The different steps necessary to obtain regulatory approval, especially that of the FDA, involve significant costs. Accordingly, L.A.M. will need additional capital in order to fund the costs of future clinical trials, related research, and general and administrative expenses. L.A.M. may be forced to delay or postpone development and research expenditures if L.A.M. is unable to secure adequate sources of funds. These delays in development would have an adverse effect on L.A.M.'s ability to produce timely and competitive products. There can be no assurance that L.A.M. will be able to obtain the funding which it will require. L.A.M. may sell shares of its common stock in the future and these sales may dilute the interests of other security holders and depress the price of L.A.M.'s common stock. As of January 31, 2003, L.A.M had 29,447,092 outstanding shares of common stock. As of January 31, 2003, there were outstanding options, warrants and convertible notes which would allow the holders of these securities to purchase approximately 18,011,564 additional shares of L.A.M.'s common stock. L.A.M. may also issue additional shares for various reasons and may grant additional stock options to its employees, officers, directors and third parties. See " Comparative Share Data". The issuance or even the potential issuance of shares upon the exercise of warrants or options, or upon the conversion of promissory notes, or in connection with any other financing will have a dilutive impact on L.A.M.'s other stockholders and could have a negative effect on the market price of L.A.M.'s common stock. As L.A.M. issues shares of its common stock as a result of the exercise of options or warrants or upon the conversion of promissory notes, the price of L.A.M.'s common stock may decrease due to the additional shares in the market. Any decline in the price of L.A.M.'s common stock may encourage short sales, which could place further downward pressure on the price of L.A.M.'s common stock. There is, at present, only a limited market for L.A.M.'s common stock and there is no assurance that this market will continue. L.A.M.'s common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. Trades of L.A.M.'s common stock are subject to Rule 15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which rule imposes certain requirements on broker/dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, brokers/dealers must make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to sale. The Securities and Exchange Commission also has rules that regulate broker/dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks". Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker/ dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker/dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker/dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker/dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. These disclosure requirements have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for L.A.M.'s common stock. As a result of these rules, investors may find it difficult to sell their shares. COMPARATIVE SHARE DATA Number of Note Shares Reference Shares offered by this prospectus by the selling shareholders: 1,742,242 A As of January 31, 2003, L.A.M. had 29,447,092 outstanding shares of common stock. The number of shares outstanding as of January 31, 2003 excludes shares which may be issued upon the conversion of promissory notes or the exercise of options and warrants issued by L.A.M. See the table below for further information. The issuance of additional shares and the eligibility of issued shares for resale will dilute L.A.M.'s common stock and may lower the price of L.A.M.'s common stock. Investors in this offering will suffer immediate dilution since the price paid for the securities offered will likely be more then the net tangible book value of L.A.M.'s common stock. Net tangible book value is calculated by dividing L.A.M.'s total assets, less intangible assets and liabilities, and dividing it by the number of outstanding shares of common stock. The actual dilution to investors in this offering will depend on the price which they pay for the shares. Other Shares Which May Be Issued: The following table lists additional shares of L.A.M.'s common stock which may be issued as the result of the conversion of promissory notes or the exercise of outstanding options or warrants: Number of Note Shares Reference Shares issuable upon conversion of promissory notes 681,630 B Shares issuable upon exercise of Series A, B, C and D warrants held by selling shareholders 3,468,340 B Shares issuable upon exercise of options and 12,923,121 C warrants granted to L.A.M.'s officers, directors, employees, private investors, and financial consultants. Shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants which were issued as part of the Equity Line of Credit 938,473 D A. See the section of this prospectus entitled "Selling Shareholders" for information concerning the names of the selling shareholders and the shares, options and warrants held by the selling shareholders. B. In November 2002, L.A.M. sold convertible notes, plus Series A, B, C and D warrants, to a group of private investors for $700,000. The notes do not bear interest, are unsecured and are payable on November 1, 2005. At the holder's option the notes are convertible into shares of L.A.M.'s common stock equal in number to the amount determined by dividing each $1,000 of note principal to be converted by the Conversion Price. The initial Conversion Price is $0.29. As of January 31, 2003 notes in the principal amount of $499,600 had been converted into 1,699,320 shares of L.A.M.'s common stock. L.A.M. would be required to issue an additional 681,630 shares of common stock if all remaining notes were converted on January 31, 2003. If L.A.M. sells any additional shares of common stock, or any securities convertible into common stock at a price below the then applicable Conversion Price, the Conversion Price will be lowered to the price at which the shares were sold or the lowest price at which the securities are convertible, as the case may be. If L.A.M. sells any additional shares of common stock, or any securities convertible into common stock at a price below the then applicable exercise price of the Series A warrants, the exercise price of the Series A warrants will be lowered to the price at which the shares were sold or the lowest price at which the securities are convertible, as the case may be. See "Description of Securities" for more information concerning the convertible notes and the Series A, B, C and D warrants. C. Options and warrants are exercisable at prices between $0.58 and $7.50 per share and expire between February 2003 and June 2011. D. On January 24, 2001, L.A.M. entered into an equity line of credit agreement with Hockbury Limited in order to establish a possible source of funding for the development of L.A.M.'s technology. The equity line of credit agreement established what is sometimes also referred to as an equity drawdown facility. On July 22, 2002 the Company terminated the equity line of credit agreement with Hockbury Limited. As consideration for the cancellation of the agreement, the Company repriced the warrants held by Hockbury Limted to purchase 482,893 shares of common stock from a price of $4.56 per share to $1.35 per share. The warrants may be exercised at any time prior to January 24, 2004. Prior to the termination of the equity line of credit L.A.M. had received net proceeds of $971,000 from the sale of 1,053,177 shares of common stock under the equity line. Substantially all of the shares issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants, and which are referred to in Notes B, C and D have been, or will be, registered for public sale by means of separate registration statements which have been, or will be, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, licensing revenue of $300,000 was received from Ixora Biomedical Company Inc. ("Ixora") under the terms of their license agreement in respect of L.A.M.'s sexual dysfunctional products. See "Business" for further information concerning L.A.M.'s agreement with Ixora. Research and Development Expense Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased 34% to $433,000 from $322,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase includes the scale up in production of L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM) to commercial batch quantities. Marketing and Business Development Expense Marketing and business development expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased 514% to $749,000 from $122,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase reflects the build up of marketing management and resources and promotional activity in preparation for the commercial sales of L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM) and the introduction of the product to markets outside of the U.S. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased 9% to $1,155,000 from $1,059,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase is attributable to increases in legal and audit expense in connection with regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; insurance expense and the write off of the receivable described below. The increase was offset by the decrease in investor relations due to the non-recurrence of the exceptional level of activity in the previous year and the decrease in costs incurred in 2001 to arrange the equity line of credit which did not recur in 2002. As of September 30, 2002 Alan Drizen, who resigned from his position as L.A.M.'s Chief Executive Officer on November 4, 2002, owed L.A.M. $627,000, representing the unpaid portion of the exercise price of options exercised by Mr. Drizen. Pursuant to the terms of a pending agreement with Mr. Drizen, L.A.M. will forgive $289,000 of the $627,000 owed by Mr. Drizen. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2002 $289,000 of this receivable was charged to expense, leaving a balance of $338,000 due from Mr. Drizen. The primary components of general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 were as follows: 2002 2001 Officers' salaries $ 61,250 $ 86,612 Employee salaries and benefits 93,596 125,582 Investor Relations 210,101 323,050 Commissions and other costs in connection with financings - 77,551 Financial banking and consulting 119,340 194,333 Legal and auditing (including SEC filings) 195,624 138,611 Insurance 87,823 30,025 Write-off of receivable 289,000 - Other expenses 97,829 83,325 --------- ----------- Total $ 1,154,563 $1,059,089 =========== ========== Year Ended December 31, 2001 compared with Year Ended December 31, 2000 Licensing Revenue During the year ended December 31, 2001, licensing revenue of $300,000 was received from Ixora Biomedical Company Inc. ("Ixora") under the terms of an agreement related to L.A.M.'s sexual dysfunction products. See "Business" for further information concerning L.A.M.'s agreement with Ixora. Interest Expense Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2001 decreased 20% to $233,000 from $292,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 due to the conversion of all remaining debentures during 2001. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001 increased 9% to $1,379,000 from $1,261,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase included costs attributable to increased investor relations activity; costs of regulatory filings in respect of past and present options, note conversions, share grants for services and quarterly and yearly filings as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; and costs attributable to the new laboratory facility and offices in Lewiston and additions to the senior management team, to prepare for the launch of L.A.M.'s first commercial product, expected in mid-summer 2002. The net reduction in costs in connection with financings was due to there being no new convertible note financings during 2001. This reduction was partly offset by the costs in that year of arranging the equity line of credit. The primary components of general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 were as follows: 2001 2000 ---- ---- Officers' salaries $ 245,612 $ 123,000 Employee salaries and benefits 123,113 89,935 Less: Salaries classified as Research & Development (96,000) (81,000) Investor Relations 337,680 231,239 Commissions and other costs in connection with financings 138,863 381,300 Financial Banking and Consulting 197,333 238,894 Legal and Auditing (including SEC filings) 276,415 181,200 Insurance 38,745 11,004 Other Expenses 117,030 85,398 ------------- ----------- Total $ 1,378,791 $ 1,260,970 =========== =========== Marketing and Business Development Expense Marketing and business development expense for the year ended December 31, 2001 increased 260% to $202,000 from $56,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase is the result of the increasing activity in promoting L.A.M. and its products including preparing for L.A.M.'s first commercial product launch in mid-summer 2002. Research and Development Expense Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001 increased 51% to $480,000 from $317,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase is primarily the result of increased clinical studies activity. Costs associated with these activities tend to fluctuate from period to period depending on the status and timing of the individual projects in process. Share and Option Grants L.A.M. is required to recognize non-cash expenses which represent the deemed fair value of grants of stock options and of stock for services, calculated in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. These deemed non-cash costs, which are accounted for by correspondingly increasing the company's paid in capital, increased to $4,266,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared with $448,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. This increase included costs attributed to options and shares granted to consultants and directors for services performed and in recognition of their additional efforts now required to bring the company's first product to market; to options granted in connection with the related strengthening of the management team; to noteholders who converted their notes into common shares; and to other investors for their investment support. In addition, to compensate for the fall in L.A.M.'s share price during the year, a number of existing options were repriced or had their maturity dates extended. Costs attributed to these amended terms totaled $354,000 during 2001. Conversion Premium During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, conversion premiums of $1,057,844 and $2,395,093 respectively were charged to expense. The charge in 2001 represented the deemed fair value of the enhanced terms granted in August of that year to note holders who agreed to convert their outstanding notes during the year. The charge in 2000 related to the sale of convertible notes during that year, and represented the difference between the deemed fair value of L.A.M.'s common stock and the conversion price of the convertible notes sold. The conversion premiums did not require the use of cash. Warrants Issued on Equity Line of Credit The expense of $1,100,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001 represents the fair value of the warrants issued to Hockbury Limited in connection with the equity line of credit and the warrants issued to GKN Securities as placement agent for the equity line. Year Ended December 31, 2000 compared with Year Ended December 31, 1999 Interest Expense Interest expense increased 142% to $292,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $121,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase is due to the sale of convertible notes between September 1999 and November 2000. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 increased 255% to $1,261,000 from $356,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase is primarily a result of sales commissions paid in connection with the sale of L.A.M.'s convertible notes, additional administrative personnel and increased legal expenses. The primary components of general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 were as follows: 2000 1999 ---- ---- Officers' salaries $ 123,000 $ 50,000 Employee salaries and benefits 89,935 16,336 Less: Salaries classified as Research & Development (81,000) (0) Investor Relations 231,239 91,941 Commissions and other costs in Connection with financings 381,300 27,471 Financial Banking and Consulting 238,894 42,876 Legal and Auditing (including SEC filings) 181,200 95,091 Insurance 11,004 11,178 Other Expenses 85,398 20,682 ------------ ----------- Total $ 1,260,970 $ 355,575 =========== ========= Marketing and Business Development Expense Marketing and business development expense for the year ended December 31, 2000 increased 132% to $56,000 from $24,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase is the result of the increasing activity in promoting L.A.M. and its products. Research and Development Expense Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 increased 71% to $317,000 from $185,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase is primarily due to the start of clinical trials in Toronto, Canada as well as deferred compensation paid to L.A.M.'s president. The clinical trials pertain to L.A.M.'s arthritic pain drug. Conversion Premium During the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 conversion premiums of $2,395,093 and $1,252,000, respectively, relating to the sale of convertible notes were charged to expense. The conversion premium represents the difference between the fair value of L.A.M.'s common stock and the conversion price of the convertible notes sold during the year. The conversion premium did not require the use of cash. Liquidity and Sources of Capital Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 L.A.M's primary source of liquidity was cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2002 of approximately $103,000, compared with approximately $11,000 at December 31, 2001. Working capital (deficiency) improved from approximately $(443,000) as of December 31, 2001 to $(94,000) as of September 30, 2002. L.A.M.'s operations used approximately $2,574,000 in cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. During this period L.A.M. also spent $156,000 for patents, trademarks, and equipment purchases. Cash required during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 came principally from proceeds from the exercise of stock options ($1,357,000) and from the sale of shares under the equity line of credit agreement ($487,000). On January 24, 2001, L.A.M. entered into an equity line of credit agreement, or equity drawdown facility, with Hockbury Limited in order to establish a source of funding for the development of L.A.M.'s technology. Under the equity line of credit agreement, Hockbury Limited agreed to provide L.A.M. with up to $20,000,000 of funding. L.A.M. could request a drawdown under the equity line of credit by selling shares of its common stock to Hockbury Limited, and Hockbury Limited was obligated to purchase the shares. On July 22, 2002 L.A.M. terminated the equity line of credit agreement with Hockbury Limited. As consideration for the cancellation of the agreement, L.A.M. repriced the warrants held by Hockbury Limited to purchase 482,893 shares of common stock from a price of $4.56 per share to $1.35 per share. The warrants may be exercised at any time prior to January 24, 2004. Prior to the termination of the equity line of credit L.A.M. had received net proceeds of $971,000 from the sale of 1,053,177 shares of common stock under the equity line. See "Management - Certain Relationships and Transactions" for information concerning the settlement of receivables owed to L.A.M. by a former officer of the Company. In November 2002, L.A.M. sold convertible notes, plus Series A, B, C and D warrants, to two private investors for $700,000. See "Description of Securities" for information concerning this transaction. Year Ended December 31, 2001 L.A.M.'s primary source of liquidity as of December 31, 2001 was cash and cash equivalents of $11,284. Working capital, exclusive of convertible debentures converted, decreased from approximately $1,775,000 as of December 31, 2000 to $(443,000) as of December 31, 2001. L.A.M.'s operations used approximately $1,713,000 in cash during the year ended December 31, 2001. This was offset by decreases in accounts receivable and inventory and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the amount of $258,000, which provided cash. During this period, L.A.M. also spent $282,000 for patents, trademarks, and equipment purchases. L.A.M. redeemed all of the remaining debentures during 2001, $108,500 of which was repaid in cash. In addition, during 2001, L.A.M. advanced $1,075,000 in short-term loans to an officer and director of L.A.M. The amounts borrowed by the officer and director were used to purchase shares of L.A.M.'s common stock in an effort to stabilize L.A.M.'s stock price in the face of extensive short selling. $435,000 of these advances were repaid during 2001. Cash required during the year ended December 31, 2001 came from the use of existing cash balances, the exercise of stock options amounting to $112,000 and proceeds from the sale of shares under the Equity Line of Credit Agreement amounting to $484,000. L.A.M. issued 439,021 shares of common stock and received $483,636 in net proceeds during the year ended December 31, 2001 under the equity line of credit agreement. In July 2002 L.A.M. terminated the equity line of credit. Year Ended December 31, 2000 L.A.M.'s operations and an increase in inventories used approximately $1,760,000 in cash during the year ended December 31, 2000. This was offset by a decrease in notes receivable and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the amount of $201,000, which provided cash. During this period, L.A.M. also spent $155,000 for patents, trademarks, and equipment purchases. Cash required during the year ended December 31, 2000 was generated through sales of convertible debentures amounting to $2,466,000 and the exercise of stock options amounting to $189,000. Plan of Operation During the twelve months ending December 31, 2003 L.A.M. plans to: o Continue to build market awareness of L.A.M.'s IPM Wound Gel(TM). o Continue its program to develop and commercialize other products based on its wound healing technology o Continue to develop its motion sickness patch systems in cooperation with major multinational partners o Continue to seek and develop strategic relationships with companies interested in using the L.A.M. Ionic Polymer Matrix(TM) technology in conjunction with existing and future OTC and cosmetic products. During this period, L.A.M. expects that it will spend between $600,000 and $800,000 on research, development, and clinical studies relating to the L.A.M. Ionic Polymer Matrix(TM) technology, and $900,000 to $1,100,000 on marketing and business development, in particular with respect to its IPM Wound Gel(TM). L.A.M. plans to use its existing financial resources as well as revenues from the sale of its IPM Wound Gel(TM) to fund its capital requirements during this period. It should be noted that substantial funds may be needed for more extensive research and clinical studies before L.A.M. will be able to sell other products on a commercial basis. Other than funding requirements relating to the marketing of its IPM Wound Gel(TM), for its research and development activities in respect of its L.A.M. Ionic Polymer Matrix(TM) technology and for general operating losses, L.A.M. does not have any material capital commitments. Due to the previous lack of any significant revenues, to date L.A.M. has relied upon proceeds realized from the public and private sale of its common stock and convertible debentures to meet its funding requirements. Funds raised by L.A.M. have been expended primarily in connection with research, development, clinical studies and administrative costs. Until significant revenues commence from the commercial sale of its products, L.A.M. will be required to fund its operations through the sale of securities, debt financing or other arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available or be available on favorable terms. BUSINESS L.A.M. Pharmaceutical, Corp. was incorporated in Delaware in July 1998. In September 1998, L.A.M. acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of LAM Pharmaceuticals LLC for 6,000,000 shares of L.A.M.'s common stock. LAM Pharmaceuticals LLC was organized in Florida in 1994 (initially as a partnership) to commercialize a new drug delivery system which offers patients, among other benefits, safer and more effective treatment for a number of serious diseases. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to L.A.M. include LAM Pharmaceuticals LLC. L.A.M. is the owner of a proprietary wound healing and transdermal drug delivery technology that involves the use of an original L.A.M. Ionic Polymer Matrix technology (L.A.M. IPM(TM)) for the purpose of delivering, enhancing and sustaining the action of certain established therapeutic agents. The L.A.M. IPM(TM) technology combines in a matrix, in a novel manner, those drugs that are well established and generally regarded by the public, the regulatory authorities and pharmaceutical industry as safe. When combined with the active drug ingredient, the L.A.M. Ionic Polymer Matrix(TM) technology allows the delivery of greater amounts of drug to the target area than is otherwise possible. The L.A.M. Ionic Polymer Matrix(TM) technology therefore offers potential benefits by providing faster and more prolonged therapeutic activity, less intrusive and less painful methods of delivery and a faster onset of therapeutic activity. L.A.M.'s corporate objective is to develop, market and license wound healing and transdermally delivered drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter, using the patented L.A.M. Ionic Polymer Matrix(TM) technology. L.A.M. intends to seek out corporate alliances and co-marketing partnerships where other drugs and topical products can be enhanced by L.A.M. IPM(TM) technology. On April 15, 2002, L.A.M. obtained approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") of its Section 510(k) pre-market notification of intent (number K020325) to market its proprietary L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM). Commercial sales of the product began in August 2002. All of L.A.M's other products are in various stages of development and testing, and L.A.M. has not obtained FDA approval for any of these other products. As a result, to date L.A.M. has not generated any significant revenues from the sale of pharmaceutical products, and expects to incur losses until significant revenues are earned from the sale of L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM) or other products. In order to fully understand and appreciate the significance and effectiveness of L.A.M.'s drug delivery technology it is important to understand how various drug-based formulations are applied to the skin and the ways that substances applied to the skin are absorbed by the skin and other structures of the body. For many years, lotions, creams, suspensions and solutions of various natural (herbal) and therapeutic (drug) substances have been applied to the skin. When it comes to treating pain, sexual dysfunction and other disease states which emanate from structures of the body below the skin, topical therapy is not effective unless the therapeutic agent can penetrate the outer layer of the skin (stratum corneum) which acts as a protective barrier. This layer consists of numerous dead cells and cells in transition, which collectively form an effective barrier to penetration of substances, such as bacteria, in the air or in water. Thus the stratum corneum plays an important role in protecting the body from invasion by harmful substances. It is this same protective role which has posed a major challenge over the years regarding devising a mechanism that can effectively penetrate the stratum corneum for the purpose of delivering therapeutic substances to structures deep within the body. In 1994, L.A.M.'s scientists discovered that certain molecules called polymers were found to possess strong electrical charges which, when combined with other polymers of a specific electrical charge, are able to effectively penetrate the outer layers of the skin. In addition, these molecules are able to attach or surround other molecules such as therapeutic drug molecules and carry them within a matrix through the outer layers of the skin into the deeper structures below. L.A.M.'s scientists recognized that these discoveries would be of great significance to the delivery of therapeutic agents. This phenomenon, which is the basis for the L.A.M. Ionic Polymer Matrix(TM) (L.A.M. IPM(TM)) delivery system, is covered by thirteen U.S. patents which are owned by L.A.M. The L.A.M. Ionic Polymer Matrix(TM) technology combines in a matrix, in a novel manner, those drugs that are well established and generally regarded by the public, the regulatory authorities and pharmaceutical industry as safe. When combined with the active drug ingredient, the L.A.M. Ionic Polymer Matrix(TM) technology allows the delivery of greater amounts of drug to the target area than is otherwise possible. The L.A.M. Ionic Polymer Matrix(TM) technology therefore offers potential benefits by providing faster and more prolonged therapeutic activity, less intrusive and less painful methods of delivery and faster onset of therapeutic activity. L.A.M.'s products are regulated in the United States by the FDA. L.A.M's first product, L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM) falls into the hydrogel and burn dressing group as defined by the FDA, and is therefore considered a Class I device (pursuant to FDA ruling of November 4, 1999). Class I devices are subject to "general controls". This is the lowest level of FDA control that focuses on basic factors such as quality regulation. L.A.M. is of the opinion that other products which it is developing will be classified as cosmetics, OTC drugs, or new drugs. Products classified as cosmetics or OTC drugs may be marketed without FDA approval. New drugs that are not cosmetics and that are not considered an OTC drug must be approved by the FDA prior to marketing in the United States. Before human testing can begin with respect to a new drug in the United States preclinical studies are conducted in laboratory animals to evaluate the potential efficacy and the safety of a product. Human clinical studies generally involve a three-phase process. The initial clinical evaluation, Phase I, consists of administering the product and testing for safe and tolerable dosage levels. Phase II trials continue the evaluation of safety and determine the appropriate dosage for the product, identify possible side effects and risks in a larger group of subjects, and provide preliminary indications of efficacy. Phase III trials consist of testing for actual clinical efficacy within an expanded group of patients at geographically dispersed test sites. L.A.M. believes that its L.A.M. IPM(TM) technology, when used with prescription drugs, will be regulated as an unapproved new drug and will require approval by the FDA. Conversely, L.A.M.'s IPM technology, when used with a cosmetic or an OTC drug, could be marketed without FDA approval. Production scale up and manufacture of L.A.M.'s IPM Wound Gel(TM) has been contracted to an independent FDA approved manufacturer. Sales of L.A.M.'s IPM Wound Gel(TM) began in August 2002. L.A.M. has developed a comprehensive marketing strategy for L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM) that covers direct sales to wound healing centers and other specialized medical practices, Internet sales, sales through contract sales organizations and licensing. L.A.M. is also evaluating a limited number of IPM/drug formulations that have shown promise during preliminary clinical investigation. L.A.M.'s preferred course for these formulations is to negotiate licensing agreements and/or joint ventures with larger pharmaceutical companies which have the financial resources to fund the research and/or clinical trials necessary to complete the development of L.A.M.'s products. If the results of the clinical trials involving these formulations are promising, L.A.M. may then be in a position to negotiate licenses which would generate sufficient revenue so as to allow L.A.M. to exploit the L.A.M. IPM(TM) technology using a variety of other drugs. It should be emphasized that a number of risks may be associated with this approach. While preliminary results have been promising, there is no certainty that the efficacy of the IPM/drug formulations currently being tested will be borne out in subsequent clinical trials. In addition, more clinical studies may be requested by a potential licensee before it is willing to enter into an agreement. L.A.M.'s objective is to raise sufficient capital to enable it to sustain ongoing research, marketing and administrative overhead as well as to enable it to undertake the work necessary to obtain FDA approval for new products, if required, and to license the products to third parties. The longer L.A.M. is able to fund development and the clinical trials for its products and thereby establish their efficacy, the greater their value will be to a potential licensee given the reduced risk of failure. Consequently, the longer L.A.M. retains sole ownership of the products the greater will be its bargaining position with prospective licensees and strategic alliance partners. Indeed, the industry places incrementally larger different values on drugs as they progress through the clinical trials required by the FDA. L.A.M. plans to market its products in any country where a suitable market exists and which has approved L.A.M.'s products for sale. At the present time L.A.M. is focusing its efforts on the following projects: WOUND HEALING In mid-April 2002, L.A.M.'s 510(k) Pre-Marketing Notification submission (K020325) to the FDA for L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM) was approved. This approval gives the Company the ability to market L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM) as a Class 1 OTC device, while also acting as a platform to enable the Company to market the product internationally. L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM) is designed to deliver high concentrations of sodium Hyaluronate to an ulcer bed, providing an optimal environment for wound healing. L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM) takes full advantage of the proprietary L.A.M. Ionic Polymer Matrix(TM) technology to saturate an ulcer bed with the L.A.M. IPM(TM) active ingredient, hyaluronic acid, a highly purified derivative of sodium Hyaluronate, derived from avian sources. QST Consultations Ltd., an independent consulting firm based in Allendale, Michigan, reported very positive results of L.A.M.'s clinical trials in the treatment of hard to heal skin ulcers. By the end of the study, 47 of the 53 ulcers (89%) reported in the study, had healed within twenty-five weeks of applying L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM). The mean time to healing was 12 weeks and the median time was 8.2 weeks. Because of poor circulation, diabetics are prone to the development of severe and hard to treat ulcers in the extremities, particularly in the area of the lower legs. Based on review of the data, L.A.M. has contracted DPT Laboratories in San Antonio, Texas to initially produce commercial quantity batches of L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM). L.A.M. is expected to accelerate its wound-healing product for the purpose of slow healing diabetic ulcers, which have not responded to previous treatment. As a derivative of L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM), L.A.M. is also developing a wound healing matrix designed to be used on incisions following surgical procedures. One of the most common post-surgical complications is the development of scar tissue, in tissue sutured or stapled following surgery. Adhesions often form and result in a painful condition, which sometimes requires surgical treatment. The availability of a product which could reduce such complications will reduce the cost of post-operative care significantly. L.A.M. believes its wound healing matrix has potential as an effective post-operative treatment for the prevention of adhesions and scar tissue following surgery. SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION L.A.M.'s Personal Female Lubricant (Sexual Dysfunction) Matrix is a highly viscoelastic (lubricating) liquid incorporating proprietary L.A.M. IPM(TM) technology. The matrix provides enhanced lubrication while Vitamin B3 (Niacin), encapsulated in the technology, stimulates the tissues of the female genitalia. Vitamin B3 has long been associated with a process known as "flushing", whereby the blood supply in the stimulated area is increased. The L.A.M. IPM(TM) - Personal Female Lubricant (Sexual Dysfunction) Matrix is designed primarily to address the problems of mature women who often experience post-menopausal problems that may inhibit their intimate relationships. Specifically, the matrix acts to either eliminate or at least substantially minimize post-menopausal symptoms including vaginal dryness, pain during intercourse and absence of feeling or sensation. L.A.M. IPM(TM) - Personal Female Lubricant (Sexual Dysfunction) Matrix is not classified as a drug. The product uses substances which have been approved by the regulatory authorities for many applications. Vitamin B3, for example, forms a part of B Complex taken orally as a daily supplement by millions of people worldwide. The phenomenon of flushing is not only harmless, but has been declared by several regulatory authorities as beneficial. Consequently, L.A.M. believes that FDA approvals are not required for this product. L.A.M. will ensure, however, that the matrix is manufactured to Good Manufacturing Standards and that the product is safe and performs to its specifications. Licensing of Sexual Dysfunction Products In December 1997, L.A.M. granted an exclusive worldwide license to Ixora Bio-Medical Co. ("Ixora") for the marketing, sale and distribution of certain of its transdermal drugs for the treatment of sexual dysfunction. L.A.M. has received licensing payments of $500,000 from Ixora. Ixora is required to reimburse L.A.M. for all costs of clinical studies and related research required by the FDA or other government agencies as well as patent procurement and maintenance costs, provided however that after January 1, 2000 Ixora is not, without its consent, obligated to reimburse L.A.M. for costs in excess of $10,000 per quarter. L.A.M. will receive the following royalties on sales by Ixora: o 9% of all Net Sales of licensed products approved by the FDA and for which the patent rights have not expired. o 6.5% of all Net Sales of all licensed products which did not require FDA approval and for which the patent rights have not expired. o 4.5% of all Net Sales of all licensed products for which the patent rights have expired or have been held to be invalid. For purposes of the license agreement the term "Net Sales" means gross sales less advertising/promotion expenses not exceeding 8% of gross sales and sales taxes. In January 1998, L.A.M. acquired a 45% interest in Ixora for $207,360. As a result of subsequent sales by Ixora of its common stock to other persons, L.A.M., as of November 15, 2002, owned 18% of Ixora's common stock. EXTREME DRY SKIN L.A.M.'s IPM matrix spreads easily over large areas of skin, making it ideal for use as a cosmetic in various applications to the skin. Cosmetics are a multi-billion dollar a year industry that do not require approval before marketing, although cosmetics must be safe, contain appropriate cosmetic ingredients and be labeled properly. Various uses for L.A.M.'s product include controlling body odors, relief of dryness, and for moisturization. For example, the IPM matrix could be used as a lubricant, to replenish moisture and general skin conditioning, particularly because it is non-staining and non-irritating. When used with a fragrance, it could control odor. When combined with certain over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, L.A.M.'s IPM-drug matrix could be marketed as a cosmetic. Certain products marketed in the United States are considered cosmetics and OTC drugs because they make cosmetic claims as well as therapeutic claims and are intended to treat or prevent disease. Examples of such products include, but are not limited to, anti-dandruff shampoos; sunscreens; make-ups, moisturizers and skin care products that bear sunscreen, skin protectant or acne claims; products that make breath-freshening or whitening claims; antiperspirants that bear deodorant claims; and anti-microbial soaps. These products must comply with the FDA requirements for both cosmetics and OTC drugs. As a cosmeceutical, a combination of an OTC drug and a cosmetic product, the IPM matrix can be used for a variety of topical and other uses. These include use with certain antibiotic first aid products, antifungal drugs, dandruff, dermatitis and psoriasis control products, external analgesics, skin protectant-type products, such as for poison ivy and fever blisters and cold sores, first aid antiseptics, and anorectal products. Preliminary skin care trials have been successfully completed on approximately twenty patients in the Redding, California area by a cutaneous surgeon and dermatologist. Since L.A.M. is of the opinion that its skin care products will be classified as a cosmetic or an OTC drug, these skin care trials are being conducted without FDA approval. GOVERNMENT REGULATION L.A.M.'s drug and cosmetic products are regulated in the United States under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), the Public Health Service Act, and the laws of certain states. The FDA exercises significant regulatory control over drugs manufactured and/or sold in the United States, including those that are unapproved. Federal laws such as the FD&C Act cover the testing, manufacture, distribution, marketing, labeling, advertising (for prescription drugs), of all new drugs. Drug registration and listing requirements also exist. L.A.M. is of the opinion that the products being developed by L.A.M. will be subject to one or more of the following FDA classifications: Cosmetics Cosmetics are generally the least regulated by the FDA compared to other products subject to the FD&C Act. The legal distinction between cosmetics and drugs is typically based on the intended use of the product, which is normally discerned from its label or labeling. Cosmetic products are those intended for "cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering appearance" whereas drugs are those intended for "diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease", or that "affect the structure or any function of the body". A claim suggesting that a product affects the body in some "physiological" way usually renders the product a drug - even if the effect is temporary. A claim that the product penetrates and affects layers beneath the skin's surface most likely would be viewed by the FDA as a drug claim. However, claims that a product affects appearance through a "physical" effect are generally considered cosmetic claims. The FDA's rationale for this distinction is that a claim of a physiological effect is a claim that the product "affects" the structure or function of the body, which is one element of the statutory definition of a drug. A claim indicating that a product's effects are on the surface of the skin can be a cosmetic claim. Although cosmetics may be marketed without FDA approval, in order to be marketed lawfully as a cosmetic, the product must be properly labeled and each ingredient and each finished cosmetic product must be adequately substantiated for safety prior to marketing. Products which are not cosmetics, and which are marketed in the United States, must either comply with specified OTC drug regulations (monographs) or be specifically approved through the New Drug Application (NDA) or biologic licensure process. OTC Drugs OTC drugs generally are defined as those drug products that can be used safely and effectively by the general public without seeking treatment by a physician or other health care professional. Thus, they do not require a prescription by a health care professional and are available at retail establishments. An OTC drug may be marketed without FDA approval if it conforms to a particular product monograph as described below and otherwise meets the requirements of the FD&C Act. OTC monographs list active ingredients, their dosage levels, and uses (claims) for which OTC drug products are considered generally recognized as safe and effective for specific use and are not misbranded. If a particular level of an active ingredient and claim are allowed by a monograph, then a manufacturer may market a product containing that ingredient and bearing that claim without specific FDA approval, subject to compliance with other requirements of the monographs and FD&C Act, including drug registration and listing obligations. Aspirin is a common drug allowed by a monograph. If a drug product does not conform to a particular OTC monograph, then typically a New Drug Application must be reviewed and approved by the FDA prior to marketing. Unlike prescription drugs, OTC drugs must bear adequate directions for safe and effective use and warnings against misuse. New Drug Applications and Biologic License Applications New drugs and products that are not cosmetics or devices and that are not covered by an OTC monograph must be approved by the FDA prior to marketing in the United States. Pre-clinical testing programs on animals, followed by three phases of clinical testing on humans, are typically required by the FDA in order to establish product safety and efficacy. L.A.M. believes that its L.A.M. IPM(TM) technology, when used with approved or unapproved prescription drugs or biologics, will be regulated as an unapproved new drug or unapproved biologic and will require approval by the FDA. It is also possible that the L.A.M. IPM(TM) technology may be regulated as a combination drug and medical device, in which case it would be subject both to medical device and drug regulation. Medical device regulation is based on classification of the device into three classes, I, II, or III. Class III medical devices are regulated much like drugs, whereas Class I and II devices are subject to abbreviated clearance procedures. It is also possible that the use of the L.A.M. IPM(TM) technology with a monographed OTC drug could render the product an unapproved new drug, which would mean that the product is subject to new drug application approval requirements before marketing. The FDA may choose to regulate certain uses of the L.A.M. IPM(TM) technology as a medical device if it determines that the mechanism by which the L.A.M. IPM(TM) technology exerts its effects meets the definitional requirements of a medical device. A medical device is a product that, among other requirements, does not achieve its primary intended purposes through chemical action within or on the human body and is not dependent upon being metabolized for the achievement of its primary intended purposes. Although L.A.M. expects that most uses of the L.A.M. IPM(TM) technology will be regulated as a drug, which is in essence a product that usually achieves its effects by chemical action or physiological action in or on the body, to the extent that the L.A.M. IPM(TM) technology is used to deliver pharmaceutically active ingredients, it can be subject to both medical device and drug regulation. The first stage of evaluation, pre-clinical testing, must be conducted in animals. After safety has been demonstrated, the test results are submitted to the FDA (or a state regulatory agency) along with a request for authorization to conduct clinical testing, which includes the protocol that will be followed in the initial human clinical evaluation. If the applicable regulatory authority does not object to the proposed study, the investigator can proceed with Phase I trials. Phase I trials consist of pharmacological studies on a relatively few number of human subjects under rigidly controlled conditions in order to establish lack of toxicity and a safe dosage range. After Phase I testing is completed, one or more Phase II trials are conducted in a limited number of patients to continue to test the product's safety and also its efficacy, i.e. its ability to treat or prevent a specific disease. If the results appear to warrant further studies, the data are submitted to the applicable regulatory authority along with the protocol for a Phase III trial. Phase III trials consist of extensive studies in large populations designed to assess the safety of the product and the most desirable dosage in the treatment or prevention of a specific disease. The results of the clinical trials for a new drug are submitted to the FDA as part of a New Drug Application ("NDA"). Biological drugs, such as vaccines, are subject to Biologics License Applications (BLAs), not NDAs as are other drugs. They must be safe, pure and potent. Generic competition does not exist for biologics, as it does for other drugs. Biological drugs are generally subject to the same testing, manufacturing, distribution, marketing, labeling, advertising and other requirements for other drugs. To the extent all or a portion of the manufacturing process for a product is handled by an entity other than L.A.M., the manufacturing entity is subject to inspections by the FDA and by other Federal, state and local agencies and must comply with FDA Good Manufacturing Practices ("GMP") requirements. In complying with GMP regulations, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production, quality control and quality assurance to ensure full compliance. L.A.M. may undertake extensive and costly clinical testing to assess the safety and efficacy of its potential drug delivery systems. Failure to comply with FDA regulations applicable to such testing can result in delay, suspension or cancellation of testing, and refusal by the FDA to accept the results of the testing. In addition, the FDA may suspend clinical studies at any time if it concludes that the subjects or patients participating in trials are being exposed to unacceptable health risks. Further there can be no assurance that human clinical testing will show any of L.A.M.'s drug delivery systems to be safe and effective or that data derived from any testing will be suitable for submission to the FDA. The processes required by European regulatory authorities before L.A.M.'s systems can be marketed in Western Europe are similar to those in the United States. First, appropriate pre-clinical laboratory and animal tests must be done, followed by submission of a clinical trial exemption or similar documentation before human clinical studies can be initiated. Upon completion of adequate and well controlled clinical studies in humans that establish that the drug is safe and efficacious, regulatory approval of a Market Authorization Application must be obtained from the relevant regulatory authorities. As with the FDA review process, there are numerous risks associated with the Market Authorization Application review. Additional data may be requested by the regulatory agency reviewing the Market Authorization Application to demonstrate the contribution of a product component to the clinical safety and efficacy of a product, or to confirm the comparable performance of materials produced by a changed manufacturing process or at a changed manufacturing site. The process of biologic and new drug development and regulatory approval or licensure requires substantial resources and many years. There can be no assurance that regulatory approval will ever be obtained for products developed by L.A.M. Authorization for testing, approval for marketing of drugs, including biologics, by regulatory authorities of most foreign countries must also be obtained prior to initiation of clinical studies and marketing in those countries. The approval process varies from country to country and the time period required in each foreign country to obtain approval may be longer or shorter than that required for regulatory approval in the United States. There are no assurances that clinical trials conducted in foreign countries will be accepted by the FDA for approval in the United States. Product approval or licensure in a foreign country does not mean that the product will be approved or licensed by the FDA and there are no assurances that L.A.M. will receive any approval or license by the FDA or any other governmental entity for the marketing of a drug product. Likewise product approval by the FDA does not mean that the product will be approved or licensed by any foreign country. Product Status L.A.M. has completed the development of its IPM Wound Gel(TM) and obtained approval (number K020325) from the FDA on April 15, 2002 to market the product. L.A.M. began commercial sales of this product in August 2002. All of L.A.M.'s other products are in various stages of development and testing and the commercial sale of any of these products may not occur until 2003 at the earliest. As a result, L.A.M. expects to incur significant product development costs for the foreseeable future. L.A.M.'s estimates of the costs associated with future research and clinical studies may be substantially lower than the actual costs of these activities. If L.A.M.'s cost estimates are incorrect, L.A.M. will need additional funding for its research efforts. There can be no assurance that L.A.M.'s other products will prove to have any therapeutic or other value. The following is a summary of the status of the products which are being developed by L.A.M.: Projected Cost Projected Date Anticipated FDA Needed to Complete of Completion Product Name Classification Studies/Trials of Studies/Trials Wound Healing Cosmetic/OTC Drug $1,000,000(1) Completed Female Sexual Dysfunction Cosmetic/OTC Drug $1,500,000 Dec. 2003 (2) Extreme Dry Skin Cosmetic/OTC Drug $1,500,000 (3) (1) Projected costs associated with the wound healing product include costs for scaling up production. (2) L.A.M. has licensed this product to Ixora. Pursuant to the terms of the Licensing Agreement, Ixora is responsible for all the costs required to obtain regulatory approval of this product. (3) Beginning in the second quarter of 2003 L.A.M. plans an aggressive sampling program for its Extreme Dry Skin product with consumers, doctors and skin care professionals. Research and Development As part of its ongoing research and development program, L.A.M. intends to develop and commercialize as many products as possible based on its L.A.M. IPM(TM) technology. L.A.M.'s long-range goal is to exploit other uses of its matrix drug delivery system to improve the therapeutic effects of various drugs. During the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001 L.A.M. spent approximately $185,000, $317,000, and $480,000 respectively on research and development. L.A.M.'s research and development expenditures do not include research and development expenses relating to L.A.M.'s Sexual Dysfunction Drug which were paid by Ixora. Patents and Trademarks As of January 31, 2003, L.A.M. owned thirteen U.S. patents, three foreign patents, five U.S. patent applications and numerous international patent applications designating over 100 foreign countries with claims relating to its sustained release delivery matrix system, systems containing drug preparations, uses of the systems for various treatment therapies and addiction therapeutic program. L.A.M.'s patents will expire between 2015 and 2018. Employees As of January 31, 2003, L.A.M. had nine full time employees and one part time employee. offices and facilities In the fourth quarter of 2001, L.A.M. consolidated its research, pilot production and head office activities into its 3,500 square foot facility in Lewiston, New York. This facility is leased at a rate of $1,700 per month. The lease on this space expires in 2003. L.A.M. continues to maintain a business office at 800 Sheppard Avenue West, Commercial Unit 1, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. L.A.M. has leased this space at $4,675 per month until August 31, 2004.

Other Arrangements. During the year ended December 31, 2001, and except as disclosed elsewhere in this prospectus, no director of L.A.M. received any form of compensation from L.A.M. See " Stock Option and Bonus Plans" below for information concerning stock options and stock bonuses granted to L.A.M.'s officers and directors. Stock Option and Bonus Plans L.A.M. has an Incentive Stock Option Plan, a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan and a Stock Bonus Plan. A summary description of each Plan follows. In some cases these three Plans are collectively referred to as the "Plans". Incentive Stock Option Plan. The Incentive Stock Option Plan authorizes the issuance of options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of L.A.M.'s Common Stock, less the number of shares already optioned under both this Plan and the Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan. The Incentive Stock Option Plan became effective on March 15, 2000 and will remain in effect until March 15, 2010 unless terminated earlier by action of the Board. Only officers, directors and key employees of L.A.M. may be granted options pursuant to the Incentive Stock Option Plan. In order to qualify for incentive stock option treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, the following requirements must be complied with: 1. Options granted pursuant to the Plan must be exercised no later than: (a) The expiration of thirty (30) days after the date on which an option holder's employment by L.A.M. is terminated. (b) The expiration of one year after the date on which an option holder's employment by L.A.M. is terminated, if such termination is due to the Employee's disability or death. 2. In the event of an option holder's death while in the employ of L.A.M., his legatees or distributees may exercise (prior to the option's expiration) the option as to any of the shares not previously exercised. 3. The total fair market value of the shares of Common Stock (determined at the time of the grant of the option) for which any employee may be granted options which are first exercisable in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000. 4. Options may not be exercised until one year following the date of grant. Options granted to an employee then owning more than 10% of the Common Stock of L.A.M. may not be exercisable by its terms after five years from the date of grant. 5. The purchase price per share of Common Stock purchasable under an option is determined by the Committee but cannot be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant of the option (or 110% of the fair market value in the case of a person owning L.A.M.'s stock which represents more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock). Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan. The Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan authorizes the issuance of options to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of L.A.M.'s Common Stock less the number of shares already optioned under both this Plan and the Incentive Stock Option Plan. The Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan became effective on March 15, 2000 and will remain in effect until March 15, 2010 unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors. L.A.M.'s employees, directors, officers, consultants and advisors are eligible to be granted options pursuant to the Plan, provided however that bona fide services must be rendered by such consultants or advisors and such services must not be in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction. The option exercise price is determined by the Committee but cannot be less than the market price of L.A.M.'s Common Stock on the date the option is granted. Options granted pursuant to the Plan not previously exercised terminate upon the date specified when the option was granted. Stock Bonus Plan. Up to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock may be granted under the Stock Bonus Plan. Such shares may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized but unissued shares, or treasury shares. Under the Stock Bonus Plan, L.A.M.'s employees, directors, officers, consultants and advisors are eligible to receive a grant of L.A.M.'s shares; provided, however, that bona fide services must be rendered by consultants or advisors and such services must not be in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction. Other Information Regarding the Plans. The Plans are administered by L.A.M.'s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has the authority to interpret the provisions of the Plans and supervise the administration of the Plans. In addition, the Board of Directors is empowered to select those persons to whom shares or options are to be granted, to determine the number of shares subject to each grant of a stock bonus or an option and to determine when, and upon what conditions, shares or options granted under the Plans will vest or otherwise be subject to forfeiture and cancellation. In the discretion of the Board of Directors, any option granted pursuant to the Plans may include installment exercise terms such that the option becomes fully exercisable in a series of cumulating portions. The Board of Directors may also accelerate the date upon which any option (or any part of any options) is first exercisable. Any shares issued pursuant to the Stock Bonus Plan and any options granted pursuant to the Incentive Stock Option Plan or the Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan will be forfeited if the "vesting" schedule established by the Board of Directors at the time of the grant is not met. For this purpose, vesting means the period during which the employee must remain an employee of L.A.M. or the period of time a non-employee must provide services to L.A.M. At the time an employee ceases working for L.A.M. (or at the time a non-employee ceases to perform services for L.A.M.), any shares or options not fully vested will be forfeited and cancelled. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, payment for the shares of Common Stock underlying options may be paid through the delivery of shares of L.A.M.'s Common Stock having an aggregate fair market value equal to the option price, provided such shares have been owned by the option holder for at least one year prior to such exercise. A combination of cash and shares of Common Stock may also be permitted at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Options are generally non-transferable except upon death of the option holder. Shares issued pursuant to the Stock Bonus Plan will generally not be transferable until the person receiving the shares satisfies the vesting requirements imposed by the Board of Directors when the shares were issued. L.A.M.'s Board of Directors of L.A.M. may at any time, and from time to time, amend, terminate, or suspend one or more of the Plans in any manner it deems appropriate, provided that such amendment, termination or suspension cannot adversely affect rights or obligations with respect to shares or options previously granted. The Board of Directors may not, without shareholder approval: make any amendment which would materially modify the eligibility requirements for the Plans; increase or decrease the total number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to the Plans except in the case of a reclassification of L.A.M.'s capital stock or a consolidation or merger of L.A.M.; reduce the minimum option price per share; extend the period for granting options; or materially increase in any other way the benefits accruing to employees who are eligible to participate in the Plans. The Plans are not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, nor are they subject to any provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Summary. The following sets forth certain information as of January 31, 2003 concerning the stock options and stock bonuses granted by L.A.M.

In September 1998, L.A.M. sold shares of its common stock to the persons, in the amounts, and for the consideration set forth below: Number Name of Shares Consideration Alan Drizen 1,076,308 (1) $10,763 Peter Rothbart 1,076,308 (2) $10,763 Gary M. Nath 742,784 $7,423 In September 1998, L.A.M. issued 6,000,000 shares of its common stock in consideration for all of the issued and outstanding shares of LAM Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Florida limited liability company. See "Business" for further information concerning the acquisition of LAM Pharmaceuticals LLC. The following officers, directors and other persons received shares of L.A.M.'s common stock in connection with this transaction. Name Shares Acquired Alan Drizen 1,603,616 (1) Peter Rothbart 1,603,616 (2) Gary M. Nath 1,105,942 Lisa Krinsky 674,510 (3) Arnold Hantman 376,019 All Other Sellers as a Group 636,297 ---------- 6,000,000 (1) Includes shares held by the Canyon Trust, a discretionary trust, of which Mr. Drizen may be deemed the beneficial owner. (2) Includes shares held by the Shasqua Trust, of which Dr. Rothbart may be deemed the beneficial owner. (3) Includes shares held by the South Florida Bioavailability Clinic of which Lisa Krinsky is the majority shareholder. Subsequent to September 1998, Mr. Drizen, Dr. Rothbart and Mr. Nath sold a portion of their shares in transactions which were exempt pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission and gifted a portion of their shares to relatives. During 1999, 2000 and 2001 L.A.M. paid $63,210, $51,262 and $166,532 respectively to Nath & Associates PLLC for legal services. Nath & Associates is a law firm in which Mr. Nath, an officer and director of L.A.M., is a partner. As of September 30, 2002 L.A.M. owed Nath & Associates approximately $313,000 for legal services. Prior to January 1, 1998, L.A.M. received advances from Mr. Drizen ($525,000), Dr. Rothbart ($170,000) and Mr. Nath ($475,000) that were used to fund L.A.M.'s operations, research and development and clinical trials. Subsequently additional advances were made, expenses disbursed and services performed by these directors on behalf of L.A.M. At December 31, 2001, the total of all such advances outstanding amounted to $848,037. Between February 2, 2001 and April 26, 2001 Mr. Drizen, an officer and one of three directors of L.A.M. at that time, borrowed $1,075,000 from L.A.M. The amounts borrowed by Mr. Drizen were used to purchase 441,200 shares of L.A.M.'s common stock between February 2, 2001 and May 10, 2001 in an effort to stabilize L.A.M.'s stock price in the face of extensive short selling. Dr. Peter Rothbart, also an officer and director of L.A.M., was advised by Mr. Drizen in late February 2001 that Mr. Drizen was purchasing shares of L.A.M.'s common stock in an effort to stabilize L.A.M.'s stock price. However, Dr. Rothbart did not know until May 11, 2001 that Mr. Drizen was using corporate funds for this purpose. Gary Nath, an officer and director of L.A.M., and Joseph Slechta, an officer of L.A.M., were not aware of Mr. Drizen's activities in this regard until May 11, 2001. Dr. Rothbart, Mr. Slechta and Mr. Nath became aware of Mr. Drizen's borrowings from L.A.M. in connection with Mr. Slechta's review of L.A.M.'s financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Mr. Drizen agreed to pay the $1,075,000 borrowed from L.A.M., together with interest at 6% per year, in accordance with the terms of a promissory note. The note provided for a series of periodic payments with the unpaid amount of the note, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, due on March 31, 2002. On May 25, 2001 L.A.M.'s Directors approved these repayment terms, and at the same time ratified Mr. Drizen's borrowings from L.A.M. Although Mr. Drizen agreed to secure the repayment of this note, L.A.M.'s Board of Directors, in view of the fact that proceeds from the sale of Mr. Drizen's shares of L.A.M.'s common stock would be the primary source of funds which would be used to repay the Note, did not require Mr. Drizen to secure the repayment of the Note. Accordingly, the Note from Mr. Drizen was unsecured. In addition, as a result of Mr. Drizen's purchases and sales of L.A.M.'s common stock between October 2000 and May 2001, L.A.M. is entitled to a recoverable profit from Mr. Drizen, computed in accordance with 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in the amount of $408,078, as explained below. Subsequent to December 31, 2001 Mr. Drizen and L.A.M. agreed that the advance of $548,361 due him as of December 31, 2001 would be offset against the remaining amount due pursuant to Mr. Drizen's promissory note. In addition, Dr. Rothbart and Mr. Nath agreed with Mr. Drizen to apply a portion of their receivables from L.A.M. against the amounts due by Mr. Drizen in an amount sufficient to offset the remaining balance due on Mr. Drizen's promissory note. Following these offset arrangements, as of March 27, 2002, L.A.M. owed Dr. Rothbart and Mr. Nath $17,500 and $146,537 respectively, and Mr. Drizen's promissory note was paid in full. Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act allows a corporation to recover any profits realized by officers, directors, and principal shareholders of a corporation from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) of equity securities of the corporation within a six-month period. Although Section 16(b) was designed to prevent the unfair use of information that may have been obtained by insiders through their relationship to a corporation, Section 16(b) nevertheless imposes strict liability which does not depend upon the actual use or possession of inside information by an insider. The formula most frequently used by a corporation to recover profits is known as the "lowest price in/highest price out" method, by which profit is computed by matching the highest sale price with the lowest purchase price within six months, the next highest sale price with the next lowest purchase price within six months, and so forth, until all shares have been included in the computation. Although this profit computation allows for the maximum recovery to the corporation, in the case of multiple sales and purchases within a six month period, it often results in a higher profit than the profit actually realized by the insider, and in some cases may result in a profit when the insider actually incurred losses from the sales and purchases. Mr. Drizen, for example, estimates that he incurred a loss of approximately $900,000 as a result of his purchases and sales of L.A.M.'s common stock between October 2000 and May 2001. As of September 30, 2002 Mr. Drizen, a former officer and director of L.A.M., owed L.A.M. $627,000, representing the unpaid portion of the exercise price of options exercised by Mr. Drizen. Pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement, L.A.M. forgave the $627,000 owed by Mr. Drizen. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2002 $289,000 of this receivable was charged to expense. The balance of $338,000 due from Mr. Drizen was charged to expense during the three months ended December 31, 2002. PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS The following table sets forth certain information as of January 31, 2003 concerning the common stock owned by each officer and director of L.A.M., and each other person known to L.A.M. to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of L.A.M.'s common stock.

The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares: o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; o block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; o an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; o privately negotiated transactions; o short sales o broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; o a combination of any such methods of sale; and o any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders have informed L.A.M. that they do not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. L.A.M. has advised each selling shareholder that in the event of a "distribution" of the shares owned by the selling shareholder, such selling shareholder, any "affiliated purchasers", and any broker/dealer or other person who participates in such distribution may be subject to Rule 102 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act") until their participation in that distribution is completed. Rule 102 makes it unlawful for any person who is participating in a distribution to bid for or purchase stock of the same class as is the subject of the distribution. A "distribution" is defined in Rule 102 as an offering of securities "that is distinguished from ordinary trading transactions by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods". L.A.M. has also advised the selling shareholders that Rule 101 under the 1934 Act prohibits any "stabilizing bid" or "stabilizing purchase" for the purpose of pegging, fixing or stabilizing the price of the common stock in connection with this offering. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES Common Stock L.A.M. is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock. As of January 31, 2003 L.A.M. had 29,447,092 outstanding shares of common stock. Holders of common stock are each entitled to cast one vote for each share held of record on all matters presented to shareholders. Cumulative voting is not allowed; hence, the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock can elect all directors. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of L.A.M.'s assets after payment of liabilities. The Board of Directors is not obligated to declare a dividend and it is not anticipated that dividends will be paid until L.A.M. is in profit. Holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional shares if issued by L.A.M. There are no conversion, redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock. Preferred Stock L.A.M. is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. L.A.M.'s Articles of Incorporation provide that the Board of Directors has the authority to divide the preferred stock into series and, within the limitations provided by Delaware statute, to fix by resolution the voting power, designations, preferences, and relative participation, special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of any series so established. As the Board of Directors has authority to establish the terms of, and to issue, the preferred stock without shareholder approval, the preferred stock could be issued to defend against any attempted takeover of L.A.M. Convertible Notes and Warrants In November 2002, L.A.M. sold convertible notes, plus Series A, B, C and D warrants, to a group of private investors for $700,000. The notes do not bear interest, are unsecured and are payable on November 1, 2005. At the holder's option the notes are convertible into shares of L.A.M.'s common stock equal in number to the amount determined by dividing each $1,000 of note principal to be converted by the Conversion Price. The initial Conversion Price is $0.29. As of January 31, 2003 notes in the principal amount of $499,600 had been converted into 1,699,320 shares of L.A.M.'s common stock. If L.A.M. sells any additional shares of common stock, or any securities convertible into common stock at a price below the then applicable Conversion Price, the Conversion Price will be lowered to the price at which the shares were sold or the lowest price at which the securities are convertible, as the case may be. Each note holder is prohibited from converting the notes to the extent that such conversion would result in such holder, together with any affiliate of the holder, beneficially owning in excess of 4.999% of the outstanding shares of L.A.M.'s common stock following such conversion. This restriction may be waived by each holder on not less than 61 days' notice to L.A.M. However, the 4.999% limitation would not prevent each note holder from acquiring and selling in excess of 4.999% of L.A.M.'s common stock through a series of acquisitions and sales so long as the holder never beneficially owns more than 4.999% of L.A.M.'s common stock at any one time. L.A.M. has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in order that the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the notes or the exercise of the warrants may be resold in the public market. Until 180 days after the date of this prospectus the note holders will have a first right of refusal to participate in any subsequent financings involving L.A.M. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events L.A.M. is required to redeem the notes at a price equal to 120% of then outstanding principal balance of the notes: - the suspension from listing or the failure of L.A.M.'s common stock to be listed on the OTC Bulletin Board for a period of five consecutive trading days; or - the registration statement which L.A.M. has agreed to file is not effective by March 31, 2003 - the effectiveness of the registration statement lapses for any reason or the registration statement is unavailable to the note holders and the lapse or unavailability continues for a period of fifteen consecutive trading days, or 25 non-consecutive trading days during any twelve month period, provided the cause of the lapse or unavailability is not due to factors primarily within the control of the note holders. - any representation or warranty made by L.A.M. to the note holders proves to be materially inaccurate or L.A.M. fails to perform any material covenant or condition in its agreement with the note holders. - a purchase, tender or exchange offer accepted by the holders of more than 33% of L.A.M.'s outstanding shares of common stock. - L.A.M. files for protection from its creditors under the federal bankruptcy code. The Series A warrants allow the holders to purchase 624,590 shares of L.A.M.'s common stock at a price of $0.35 per share at any time prior to November 1, 2007. If L.A.M. sells any additional shares of common stock, or any securities convertible into common stock at a price below the then applicable exercise price of the Series A warrants, the exercise price of the Series A warrants will be lowered to the price at which the shares were sold or the lowest price at which the securities are convertible, as the case may be. The Series B warrants allow the holders to purchase 1,312,500 shares of L.A.M.'s common stock at a price of $0.80 per share at any time prior to November 1, 2007. Within two days after the end of any period of ten consecutive days that the closing bid price of L.A.M.'s common stock has exceeded $1.20, L.A.M. has the right, upon 15 days advance written notice to the holders of the Series B warrants, to force the holders to exercise the unexercised portion of the Series B warrants. The Series C warrants allow the holders to purchase 875,000 shares of L.A.M.'s common stock at a price of $1.20 per share at any time prior to November 1, 2007. Within two days after the end of any period of ten consecutive days that the closing bid price of L.A.M.'s common stock has exceeded $2.00, L.A.M. has the right, upon 15 days advance written notice to the holders of the Series C warrants, to force the holders to exercise the unexercised portion of the Series C warrants. The Series D warrants allow the holders to purchase 656,250 shares of L.A.M.'s common stock at a price of $1.60 per share at any time prior to November 1, 2007. Within two days after the end of any period of ten consecutive days that the closing bid price of L.A.M.'s common stock has exceeded $2.50, L.A.M. has the right, upon 15 days advance written notice to the holders of the Series D warrants, to force the holders to exercise the unexercised portion of the Series D warrants. L.A.M.'s right to force the warrant holders to exercise the Series, B, C and D warrants is subject to a number of conditions, including the following: - - there is in effect a registration statement which the holders may use to sell the shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants. - - L.A.M.'s common stock is listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board The exercise price of the Series B, C and D warrants is not subject to adjustment except in the case of stock splits, consolidations and similar transactions. Each warrant holder is prohibited from exercising the warrants to the extent that such exercise would result in such holder, together with any affiliate of the warrant holder, beneficially owning in excess of 4.999% of the outstanding shares of L.A.M.'s common stock following such exercise. This restriction may be waived by each holder on not less than 61 days' notice to L.A.M. However, the 4.999% limitation would not prevent each warrant holder from acquiring and selling in excess of 4.999% of L.A.M.'s common stock through a series of acquisitions and sales under the warrants so long as the warrant holder never beneficially owns more than 4.999% of L.A.M.'s common stock at any one time.

EXPERTS The financial statements included in this prospectus for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of Rotenberg & Company, LLP, independent accountants, given on authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting. With respect to the Independent Accountants Report on the unaudited interim financial information of L.A.M. Pharmaceutical Corp. for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 dated November 12, 2002 which is included in this prospectus, Rotenberg & Company, LLP have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, as stated in their report, they did not audit and they did not express an opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. Rotenberg & Company, LLP are not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for its report on the unaudited interim financial information because this report is not a "report" on a "part" of the registration statement prepared or certified by an accountant within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act. INDEMNIFICATION L.A.M.'s Bylaws authorize indemnification of a director, officer, employee or agent of L.A.M. against expenses incurred by him in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding to which he is named a party by reason of his having acted or served in such capacity, except for liabilities arising from his own misconduct or negligence in performance of his duty. In addition, even a director, officer, employee, or agent of L.A.M. who was found liable for misconduct or negligence in the performance of his duty may obtain such indemnification if, in view of all the circumstances in the case, a court of competent jurisdiction determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling L.A.M. pursuant to the foregoing provisions, L.A.M. has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable. AVAILABLE INFORMATION L.A.M. is subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of l934 and in accordance therewith is required to file reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Copies of any such reports, proxy statements and other information filed by L.A.M. can be inspected and copied at the public reference facility maintained by the Securities and Exchange Commission at Room 1024, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.

L.A.M. PHARMACEUTICAL, CORP. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) (A DELAWARE CORPORATION) Lewiston, New York NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note A -Summary of Transaction L.A.M. Pharmaceutical, Corp. (the Company) was initially formed as L.A.M. Pharmaceutical, LLC (the LLC) on February 4, 1997. From February 1, 1994 to February 4, 1997 the Company conducted its activities under the name RDN. In September 1998, the members of L.A.M. Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Florida Limited liability company, exchanged all of their interests in the LLC for 6,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The stock exchange between the Company and the members of the LLC is considered a recapitalization or reverse acquisition. Under reverse acquisition accounting, the LLC was considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes, and acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Company. The accompanying financial statements include the historical accounts of the Company, the LLC and RDN since February 1, 1994. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Note B - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies L.A.M. Pharmaceutical, Corp. was incorporated on July 24, 1998 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has the uthority to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock, $.0001 par value. The Company is engaged in the research and development of Novel, Proprietary, Long Lasting Injectable Drugs and Delivery Systems for Transdermal and Topical Drugs. Development Stage The Company has operated as a development stage enterprise since its inception by devoting substantially all of its efforts to raising capital, research and development, and product and market development. Accordingly, the financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting principles prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises," issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when earned. On December 31, 1997 the Company entered into an exclusive world-wide license agreement (the License Agreement) with Ixora Bio-Medical Company Inc. (Ixora). Under the License Agreement, Ixora has paid the Company $500,000 for the exclusive rights of the Company's male and female sexual dysfunction product technology. In addition, the Company received 37% of Ixora and will receive a royalty equal to 9% of the net sales under the License Agreement. Such payments will be recorded when received by the Company. Ixora will also pay for all costs for the full development, registration and protection of intellectual property, including but not limited to patent costs, raw material costs, clinical development costs and compensation of all Company personnel involved in the sexual dysfunction product technology. Method of Accounting The corporation maintains its books and prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. - continued - L.A.M. PHARMACEUTICAL, CORP. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) (A DELAWARE CORPORATION) Lewiston, New York NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note B -Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America 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 expense during the reporting period. Actual results can differ from those estimates. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of bank deposits. Cash is placed primarily in high quality short-term interest bearing financial instruments. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions that periodically may exceed federally insured amounts. Cash Held by Brokers - Debentures Cash held by brokers - debentures consist of interest bearing term deposit accounts having maturity dates of three months or less. Inventory Inventory is comprised of raw materials and is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method and market is based on the lower of replacement cost or net realizable value. Property, Equipment and Depreciation Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows: Furniture and Fixtures 5 - 7 Years Computer Equipment 5 - 7 Years Leasehold Improvements 5 Years Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense. The cost of the assets retired or otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Patents and Trademarks Patents are carried at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, not to exceed 17 years from the date of issuance of the patent. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $16,236, $32,055, and $8,159, respectively. Accumulated amortization associated with patents and trademarks at December 31, 2001 and 2000 amounted to $51,908 and $40,125, respectively. - continued - L.A.M. PHARMACEUTICAL, CORP. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) (A DELAWARE CORPORATION) Lewiston, New York NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note B - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued Impairment of Assets In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," the Company assesses all long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Research and Development Costs Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share Net income (loss) per common share is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by adjusting the weighted-average shares outstanding assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive stock options, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share for all of the periods presented since the effect of the conversion of the debentures and the stock options and awards granted would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," using the asset and liability approach, which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of such assets and liabilities. This method utilizes enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse and gives immediate effect to changes in income tax rates upon enactment. Deferred tax assets are recognized, net of any valuation allowance, for temporary differences and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax expense represents the change in net deferred assets and liability balances. The Company had no material deferred tax assets or liabilities for the periods presented. Deferred tax assets arising from the net operating losses incurred during the development stage have been fully reserved against due to the uncertainty as to when or whether the tax benefit will be realized. Share and Option Grants As described in Note K, the Company has elected to follow the accounting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APBO) No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", for stock-based compensation and awards made to employees - the intrinsic value method. Pro forma disclosures required under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" has not been furnished due to the short history of the Company. Stock options granted to investors and consultants are subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and are recorded at the fair value of the option at the date of grant. - continued - L.A.M. PHARMACEUTICAL, CORP. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) (A DELAWARE CORPORATION) Lewiston, New York NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note B - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued Financial Instruments The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value, unless otherwise noted. The fair value of due to stockholders and loan receivable - officer could not be obtained without incurring excessive costs as they have no readily determinable market place. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Note F - Due to Stockholders The Company has a liability for cash advances and salaries and other expenses incurred in earlier years due to three of its stockholders totaling $848,037 and $1,256,115 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company has agreements with these stockholders, which provides for payment of this obligation without interest, not to exceed 25% of the profits realized by the Company in any year. The Company has imputed interest at 8.5% and charged operations for each of the periods presented with an offsetting credit to additional paid-in capital. Note G - Deferred Royalty Revenue Deferred Royalty Revenue represents amounts due to the Company from Ixora Biomedical pursuant to the worldwide license agreement. The $207,360 of Deferred Royalty Revenue approximated the value of the Company's original investment in the affiliate. The balance will be amortized to income upon commencement of Ixora's sale of the Company's products. Note H - Loan Receivable - Director Between February and April 2001, Alan Drizen, the Company's President, borrowed $1,075,000 from the Company. The amounts borrowed were used by Mr. Drizen to purchase shares of the Company's common stock in an effort to stabilize the share price in the face of extensive short selling of the shares. Mr. Drizen has agreed to repay this amount to the Company, together with interest at 6% per year, in accordance with the terms of a promissory note. The note provides for a series of periodic payments with the unpaid amount of the note, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, due on March 31, 2002. Although Mr. Drizen agreed to secure the repayment of this note, the Company's Board of Directors, in view of the fact that proceeds from the sale of Mr. Drizen's shares of the Company's common stock would be the primary source of funds which would be used to repay the note, did not require Mr. Drizen to secure the repayment of the note. Accordingly, the note from Mr. Drizen is unsecured. As of December 31, 2001, all payments required under the terms of Mr. Drizen's promissory note have been paid and the outstanding principal balance of the note was $640,000. - continued - L.A.M. PHARMACEUTICAL, CORP. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) (A DELAWARE CORPORATION) Lewiston, New York NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note H -Loan Receivable - Director - continued As a result of Mr. Drizen's purchases and sales of the Company's common stock between October 2000 and May 2001, the Company is entitled to a recoverable profit of $408,078 from Mr. Drizen, computed in accordance with 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. During 2001, this amount was applied to reduce the amount that the Company owed to Mr. Drizen with the offset being to additional paid-in capital. Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act allows a corporation to recover any profits realized by officers, directors, and principal shareholders of a corporation from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) of equity securities of the corporation within a six-month period. Although Section 16(b) was designed to prevent the unfair use of information that may have been obtained by insiders through their relationship to a corporation, Section 16(b) nevertheless imposes strict liability which does not depend upon the actual use or possession of inside information by an insider. The formula most frequently used by a corporation to recover profits is known as the "lowest price in/highest price out" method, by which profit is computed by matching the highest sale price with the lowest purchase price within six months, the next highest sale price with the next lowest purchase price within six months, and so forth, until all shares have been included in the computation. Although this profit computation allows for the maximum recovery to the corporation, in the case of multiple sales and purchases within a six month period, it often results in a higher profit than the profit actually realized by the insider, and in some cases may result in a profit when the insider actually incurred losses from the sales and purchases. Note I -Income Taxes The Company has approximately $8,300,000 of net operating loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes as of December 31, 2001, which is available to offset future taxable income and which expire in varying amounts from 2013 to 2016. The Company has fully reserved for any future tax benefits from the net operating loss carryforwards since it has not generated any revenues to date. L.A.M. PHARMACEUTICAL, CORP. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) (A DELAWARE CORPORATION) Lewiston, New York NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note J -Convertible Debentures The Company issued convertible debentures during 1999 and 2000 having an aggregate principal balance of $1,252,000 and $2,406,333, respectively. These debentures were unsecured obligations of the Company that matured over twelve months and bore interest at an annualized rate of 9.5% payable at maturity. The debentures were convertible into common shares of the Company at rates from $.50 to $3.00 per share (2 shares to .33 shares for each $1 of principal) at any time, at the option of the holder. The common shares issued on conversion had a restriction as to resale for a period of one year from the date that the original debenture was issued. The Company could also redeem the debentures at any time upon written notice and payment to the holder of all unpaid principal and interest. The debentures were not subject to any sinking fund requirements. Debentures in the amount of $2,060,083 were converted during 2000 into 3,319,430 shares of the Company's common stock. On August 9, 2001, the conversion terms for all debentures then outstanding were revised. The number of shares to be issued upon conversion of the notes, plus any accrued interest would be determined by dividing the amount to be converted by $0.52. Note holders who agreed to convert on these revised terms were also granted options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock equal to 10% of the number of shares resulting from conversion. The options are exercisable immediately at $0.58 per share and expire in August 2002. During 2001, $1,489,750 of the remaining debentures were converted to 853,167 shares with such debenture holders receiving an additional 3,106,502 common shares and options to purchase 424,493 shares of the Company's common stock. An additional conversion premium of $1,057,844 was recognized in 2001 related to the revision of terms. During 2001, debentures with a principal amount of $108,500 were repaid. The conversion premium on the convertible debentures at the date of issuance and the number of common share equivalents outstanding are as follows: Number of Excess of Fair Value of Common Share Conversion Common Stock Conversion Equivalents Price Over Debentures Premium ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Issued in 1999 2,504,000 $ 0.50 $ 5,749,400 $1,252,000 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Issued in 2000 530,000 $ 0.50 $ 2,042,000 $ 265,000 42,667 3.00 95,260 95,260 1,149,048 1.75 2,915,023 2,034,833 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1,721,715 $ 5,052,283 $2,395,093 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Converted in 2000 (3,014,000) $ 0.50 (290,430) 1.75 (15,000) 3.00 ----------------------------------------------- Shares Issued (3,319,430) ----------------------------------------------- Outstanding at December 31, 2000 906,285 =============================================== - continued - L.A.M.

Accordingly, $2,395,093 and $1,252,000 was recorded in 2000 and 1999, respectively, as a charge to conversion premium and a credit to additional paid-in capital in the accompanying financial statements. Note K - Share and Option Grants The Company has stock option plans under which employees, non-employee directors, consultants and investors may be granted options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. Options vest immediately and have varying expiration dates. The Company has elected to follow APBO No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation made to its employees. APBO No. 25 requires no recognition of compensation expense for most of the stock-based compensation arrangements provided by the Company, namely, broad-based employee stock purchase plans and option grants where the exercise price is equal to or less than the market value at the date of grant. However, APBO No. 25 requires recognition of compensation expense for variable award plans over the vesting periods of such plans, based upon the then-current market values of the underlying stock. In contrast, SFAS No. 123 requires recognition of compensation expense for grants of stock, stock options, and other equity instruments, over the vesting periods of such grants, based on the estimated grant-date fair values of those grants. Stock options and awards made to investors and consultants are subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 123. - continued - L.A.M. PHARMACEUTICAL, CORP.

Note L - Equity Line of Credit Agreement On January 24, 2001, the Company entered into an equity line of credit agreement with Hockbury Limited in order to establish a source of finding for the development of the Company's technology. The equity line of credit agreement establishes what is sometimes also referred to as an equity drawdown facility. Under the equity line of credit agreement, Hockbury Limited has agreed to provide the Company with up to $20,000,000 of funding during the 20 month period following the date of an effective registration statement. During this 20 month period, the Company may request a drawdown under the equity line of credit by selling shares of its common stock to Hockbury Limited, and Hockbury Limited will be obligated to purchase the shares. The Company may request a drawdown once ever 27 trading days, although the Company is under no obligation to request any drawdowns under the equity line of credit. The Company has issued 439,021 shares of common stock and received $483,636 in net proceeds as of December 31, 2001 under the equity line of credit agreement. During the 22 trading days following a drawdown request, the Company will calculate the amount of shares it will sell to Hockbury Limited and the purchase price per share. The purchase price per share of common stock is based on the daily volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock during each of the 22 trading days immediately following the drawdown date, less a discount of 10%. The Company will receive the purchase price less a placement fee payable to GKN Securities equal to 7% of the aggregate purchase price. Hockbury Limited may then resell all or a portion of these shares. GKN Securities is the placement agent which introduced Hockbury Limited to the Company and is a registered broker-dealer. - continued - L.A.M. PHARMACEUTICAL, CORP.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the balance sheet of L.A.M. Pharmaceutical, Corp. as of December 31, 2001 (presented herein), and the related statements of changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) (presented herein), operations, and cash flows (not presented herein) for the year then ended; and in our report dated February 8, 2002, except for Note P, as to which the date is March 27, 2002, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 and the related statement of stockholders' equity (deficit) for the year then ended is fairly stated, in all material respects. No auditing procedures have been performed subsequent to the date of our report. /s/ Rotenberg & Co., LLP Rotenberg & Co., LLP Rochester, New York November 12, 2002 See Accountants' Review Report F - 3 L.A.M.

PHARMACEUTICAL, CORP. (A DELAWARE CORPORATION) Lewiston, New York NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note A - Basis of Presentation The condensed financial statements of L.A.M. Pharmaceutical, Corp. (the "Company") included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conjunction with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2001 which are included elsewhere in this prospectus. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily comparable to, or indicative of, results of any other interim period or for the fiscal year as a whole. Factors that affect the comparability of financial data from year to year and for comparable interim periods include non-recurring expenses associated with market launch of new products, costs incurred to raise capital, acquisitions of patents and trademarks, and stock options and awards. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Note B - Accounting Policies In August 2002, the Company commenced sales of its L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel(TM) and as a result has revised its presentation of the financial statements from a development stage company to that of an operating company. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable when the product has been shipped to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company reduces revenue for estimated customer returns. Note C - Receivable - Director/Officer Between February and April 2001, Alan Drizen, the Company's President, borrowed $1,075,000 from the Company. The amounts borrowed were used by Mr. Drizen to purchase shares of the Company's common stock in an effort to stabilize the share price in the face of extensive short selling of the shares. Mr. Drizen agreed to pay this amount to the Company, together with interest at 6% per year, in accordance with the terms of a promissory note. The L.A.M. PHARMACEUTICAL, CORP. (A DELAWARE CORPORATION) Lewiston, New York NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note C - Receivable - Director/Officer (continued) note provided for a series of periodic payments with the unpaid amount of the note, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, due on March 31, 2002. As a result of Mr. Drizen's purchases and sales of the Company's common stock between October 2000 and May 2001, the Company was entitled to a recoverable profit of $408,078 from Mr. Drizen, computed in accordance with Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. During 2001, this amount was applied to reduce the amount that the Company owed to Mr. Drizen with the offset being to additional paid-in capital. During March 2002, Mr. Drizen and the Company agreed that the balance of $548,361 owed by the Company to Mr. Drizen at December 31, 2001, included in amounts due to stockholders, would be offset against the remaining amount due pursuant to Mr. Drizen's promissory note. In addition, two other Directors and stockholders agreed with Mr. Drizen to apply a portion of their receivables from the Company, included in amounts due to stockholders, against the amounts due by Mr. Drizen in an amount sufficient to offset the remaining balance due on Mr. Drizen's promissory note. Following these offset arrangements, Mr. Drizen's promissory note was paid in full. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, Mr. Drizen exercised options to acquire 2,650,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The total exercise price of these options was $1,537,000. At September 30, 2002, $627,000 of the exercise price remained unpaid. Pursuant to the terms of a pending agreement with Mr. Drizen, the Company will forgive $289,000 of the $627,000 owed by Mr. Drizen. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2002 $289,000 of this receivable was charged to expense, leaving a balance of $338,000 due from Mr. Drizen. Note D - Equity Line of Credit Agreement On January 24, 2001, the Company entered into an equity line of credit agreement with Hockbury Limited in order to establish a source of funding for the development of the Company's technology. The equity line of credit agreement establishes what is sometimes also referred to as an equity drawdown facility. The Company has issued 1,053,177 shares of common stock and received $971,000 in net proceeds as of September 30, 2002 under the equity line of credit agreement. On July 22, 2002 the Company terminated the equity line of credit agreement with Hockbury Limited. As consideration for the cancellation of the agreement, the Company has re-priced the warrants held by Hockbury Limited to purchase 482,893 shares of common stock from a price of $4.56 per share to $1.35 per share. This re-pricing had no effect on the income statement for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The warrants may be exercised at any time prior to January 24, 2004. L.A.M. PHARMACEUTICAL, CORP.

The sale of the common stock, convertible notes and warrants referenced in Notes A, C, D, E, G, H, I, J and L were exempt transactions under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. The shareholders of LAM and the holders of the convertible notes acquired these securities for investment purposes only and without a view to distribution. At the time, the shareholders of L.A.M. and the holders of the convertible notes acquired these securities, all were fully informed and advised about matters concerning L.A.M., including its business, financial affairs and other matters. The shareholders of LAM and the holders of the convertible note acquired the securities for their own account. The certificates evidencing the securities purchased by the shareholders of LAM bear a legend stating that they may not be offered, sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, or pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration. The shares purchased by the shareholders of LAM and the holders of the convertible note are "restricted" securities as defined in Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although no underwriters were involved with the sale of these securities, L.A.M. paid sales commissions of $381,300 to an unrelated third party in connection with the sale of its convertible notes. The issuance of the shares referenced in Notes F and K were exempt pursuant to Section 3(a)9 of the Securities Act of 1933. Item 27.

Undertakings The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement. (i) To include any Prospectus required by Section l0 (a)(3) of the Securities Act of l933; (ii) To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement, including (but not limited to) any addition or deletion of a managing underwriter. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of l933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (4) To provide to the Underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the Underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser. (5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of l933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. POWER OF ATTORNEY The registrant and each person whose signature appears below hereby authorizes the agent for service named in this Registration Statement, with full power to act alone, to file one or more amendments (including post-effective amendments) to this Registration Statement, which amendments may make such changes in this Registration Statement as such agent for service deems appropriate, and the Registrant and each such person hereby appoints such agent for service as attorney-in-fact, with full power to act alone, to execute in the name and in behalf of the Registrant and any such person, individually and in each capacity stated below, any such amendments to this Registration Statement.
