Board of Directors
Protalex, Inc.
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Protalex, Inc. (a New Mexico
corporation in the development stage) as of February 28, 2002, and the related
statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended February 28,
2002 and 2001 and the period from September 17, 1999 (inception) through
February 28, 2002, and the statements of cash flows for the nine month period
ended February 28, 2002 and the period from September 17, 1999 (inception)
through February 28, 2002, and the period from September 17, 1999 (inception)
through February 28, 2002. 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 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 the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
From Inception (September 17, 1999) through February 28, 2002
NOTE A - NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The interim financial data is unaudited, however in the opinion of
management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the
interim period. The financial statements included herein have been prepared
by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures included
herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed
by the Company and other information are contained in the notes to the
Company's financial statements filed as part of the Company's May 31, 2001
Form 10-KSB. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with such
annual report.
NOTE B - GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of
the Company as a going concern. The Company is a development stage
enterprise and does not have operating revenue nor anticipate generating
operating revenue for the foreseeable future. The ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern is dependent initially on its ability to raise
sufficient investment capital to fund all necessary operations and product
development activities. Secondly, the Company must develop products that are
regulatory approved and market accepted to generate operating revenue. There
is no assurance that these plans will be realized in whole or in part. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE C - LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Loss per common share is computed by dividing loss available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
the period. Diluted earnings per share assume the exercise of outstanding
stock options.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS INCLUDING PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company's principal activities consist of preparing for a Company
sponsored investigational new drug (IND) application to be submitted to the
FDA in May 2002 and continuing laboratory research and development on its
bioregulator technology. Laboratory and animal work continue on schedule
thus strengthening and extending the Company's therapeutic approach. The
Company is planning a $1,500,000 private placement in May 2002 to assist in
the completion of a Company sponsored IND and to continue to develop and
execute a broader patent strategy. Both of these developments will
strengthen the Company's position in the marketplace.
The Company continues to pursue additional financing in order to continue
future operations and necessary research and development. The near term goal
of approximately $5,000,000 remains the same. The Company's longer term
funding goal also remains the same at $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 in order to
fully implement the Company's Bioregulator technology.
Protalex, Inc. successfully completed a private placement on September 7,
2001, receiving funds of $1,102,000 for 881,600 shares of common stock.
Funding from the May 2002 private placement together with current resources
will fund operations and necessary research and development over the next 10
months. As noted above, the Company's laboratory and animal work continue to
support its intellectual property base. In the meantime, the Company has
acquired and will continue to acquire laboratory equipment. These
acquisitions will help to keep down the high cost associated with third
party contracting, and speed the process of learning more about various
aspects of the Company's core technology. The Company initiated the process
of patent applications in September 2001 and believes the planned private
placement scheduled for May 2002, will allow it to advance a broader patent
strategy.
Please refer to the Company's 10-KSB filing (December 3, 1999) and
amendments thereto for more information on the Company's technology and risk
factors.
