(A Company in the Development Stage) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) From Inception (September 17, 1999) through November 30, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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, 2002 Form 10-KSB. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with such annual report. NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expense, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimated amounts could differ from actual results. 2. Loss per Common Share The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS No. 128) which is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 128 provides for the calculation of " Basic" and "Diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. All potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations since they would be antidilutive. However, these dilutive securities could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future. Protalex, Inc. (A Company in the Development Stage) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED (Unaudited) From Inception (September 17, 1999) through November 30, 2002 NOTE C - GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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. There is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. This ability 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 D - STOCK OPTIONS All options issued are "stand alone" options. There is no Company stock option plan currently. The Company accounted for the options to employees using the "intrinsic" method which records as compensation cost the difference between exercise price of the options and the fair market value of Company stock on the measurement (grant) date. Options to non-employees are accounted for using the "fair value" method, which recognizes the value of the option as an expense over the expected life of the option with a corresponding increase to paid-in capital. On October 24, 2002 the Company issued stock options to a director. The options vested immediately and have a term of ten years and an exercise price of $1.45 per share. The Company accounted for the options in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and has recognized compensation expense based on the "intrinsic value" method. This method records compensation cost as the difference between the exercise price of the option and the fair market value of the Company's stock on the measurement (grant) date. No compensation expense was recorded during the quarter ended November 2002 for these options as there was no difference between the exercise price of the option and the fair market value of the Company's stock on the grant date. Protalex, Inc. (A Company in the Development Stage) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED (Unaudited) From Inception (September 17, 1999) through November 30, 2002 NOTE D - STOCK OPTIONS - CONTINUED Had the Company determined compensation expense based on the fair value at the measurement date for its stock options under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, the Company's net loss and loss per share would have increased to the proforma amounts indicated as follows: Six Six From Inception Months Ended Months Ended Through November 30, November 30, November 30, 2002 2001 2002 ---------- ---------- ----------- Net loss, as reported ........ $(709,307) $(478,646) $(2,672,827) Proforma net loss ...............

(.06) (.04) (.26) The fair value of the options are estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: dividends of $0 per year; expected volatility of 83-96 percent; risk-free interest rate of 4.16-5.07 percent; and an expected life of three-five years. A summary of the common stock option activity for an officer and two non-employee directors is as follows: Weighted Average Exercise Options Prices Exercisable ---------- ----------- ----------- Balance, August 31, 2002 458,680 1.45 458,680 Granted during the period 100,000 1.45 100,000 ---------- ----------- Balance, November 30, 2002 558,680 558,680 =========== =========== NOTE E - SUBSEQUENT EVENT 1. On December 16, 2002, the Company issued "free standing" common stock options to each Director ("Optionee") of 10,000 common shares @ $1.70 per share for a 10-year period. Protalex, Inc. (A Company in the Development Stage) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED (Unaudited) From Inception (September 17, 1999) through November 30, 2002 NOTE E - SUBSEQUENT EVENT - CONTINUED 2. An amendment to the Company's Bylaws was passed to allow for a minimum of five (5) Directors and a maximum of seven (7) Directors. 3. Steven H. Kane, of New Hope, PA was appointed as the Company's new President and CEO on December 16, 2002 at the annual meeting of the Board of Directors. Protalex, Inc. (A Company in the Development Stage) PART 1 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 for treating Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) to be submitted to the FDA in the third quarter of 2003 and continued laboratory research and development on its bioregulator technology. The Company continues to pursue a balance of in-house and outsourced research addressing FDA requirements for the Company's IND application, gathering data for other possible diseases, and generally broadening its intellectual property base. The Company estimates it has sufficient cash reserves for 6 months of normal operation. The raising of an additional $5-$8,000,000 is planned during the first half of 2003 to fund FDA Phase I/II clinical trials, along with continued implementation of research plans and execution of a broader patent strategy. A pre-clinical animal safety study for Rheumatoid Arthritis is underway, and an animal study to refine product formulation is complete. After reviewing sourcing options for the components of our drug formulation, Protalex has determined that producing our own raw materials will strengthen our IND application package. The Company is contracting with an FDA approved laboratory to produce the raw material for its drug, a process that should be completed by mid-2003. Meanwhile, in-house laboratory work to fulfill FDA requirements continues, both in the area of drug formulation and stability, and for developing measures of immunogenicity. The Company plans to hire a chemist in the first quarter of 2003 to assist with drug analysis and formulation. Please refer to the Company's 10-KSB filing (May 31, 2002) for more information on the Company's technology and risk factors. PART 1 ITEM 3 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: Disclosure controls and procedures are designed and implemented to insure that all material information relating to a company is made known to its president, chief financial officer, and such other persons who are responsible for preparing and filing periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On October 11, 2002, John E. Doherty and Donald K. Dean, representing all of the officers and directors of Protalex, Inc., evaluated Protalex's disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that such controls were adequate as of that date. Changes in Internal Control: There have been no significant changes in Protalex's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
