Cellceutix Corporation
(A Development Stage Enterprise)

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2009
(Unaudited)

1.         Background Information

EconoShare, Inc. was incorporated on August 1, 2005 in the State of Nevada and was organized for the purpose of developing a B2B (Business to Business) website for an Asset Sharing market place and transaction system.

On December 6, 2007, EconoShare, Inc. acquired Cellceutix Pharma, Inc., a privately owned Delaware corporation (“Cellceutix Pharma”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (the “Exchange”), with Cellceutix Pharma  becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of EconoShare, Inc.  Cellceutix Pharma, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 20, 2007.  Its assets consisted of rights assigned to it for six early stage pharmaceutical compounds by three different scientists. Upon consummation of the Exchange, EconoShare, Inc. adopted the business plan of Cellceutix Pharma, Inc.

Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange, EconoShare, Inc. acquired Cellceutix Pharma, Inc. in exchange for an aggregate of 82,000,000 newly issued shares of EconoShare, Inc.’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), which resulted at that time in an aggregate of 91,791,000 shares (the “Exchange of Shares”) of EconoShare, Inc. Common Stock issued and outstanding. As a result of the Exchange, Cellceutix Pharma, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of EconoShare, Inc.  The Exchange Shares were issued to the Cellceutix Pharma, Inc. shareholders on a pro rata basis, on the basis of 82 shares of Common Stock for each share of Cellceutix Pharma, Inc. common stock held by such Cellceutix Pharma, Inc. shareholder at the time of the Exchange. 

The former holders of Cellceutix Pharma Common Stock at the time of the exchange owned approximately 89% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock. Accordingly, the Exchange represented a change in control. As of September 30, 2009, there are 91,861,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.  For financial accounting purposes, the acquisition was a reverse acquisition of EconoShare, Inc. by Cellceutix Pharma, Inc., under the purchase method of accounting, and was accounted for as a recapitalization as of June 20, 2007 with Cellceutix Pharma, Inc. as the accounting acquirer.

On January 14, 2008, a majority of the shareholders of EconoShare, Inc. approved an amendment to the Registrant’s articles of incorporation to change the name of the Registrant to Cellceutix Corporation (“the Company”).  Upon the filing of a Definitive Information Statement and effectiveness of the name change the Company applied to the National Association of Security Dealers to change its stock symbol on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, resulting in the Company’s new stock symbol of “CTIX”. The Company is considered a development stage company at this time.  

2.          Financial Statements

In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, (b) the financial position at September 30, 2009 and (c) cash flows for the three month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, have been made.  
 
The unaudited financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.  The results of operations for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the entire year.  
 
In accordance with the accounting and disclosure requirements for subsequent events, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 16, 2009, the date of issuance of the Financial Statements. During the period from October 1, 2009 to November 16, 2009, the Company did not have any material recognizable subsequent events.

3.         Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the period since June 20, 2007 (date of inception) through September 30, 2009, the Company has had a cumulative net loss of $2,534,512, no revenue and a negative working capital of $2,307,906 at September 30, 2009.  As of September 30, 2009, the Company has not emerged from the development stage. In view of these matters, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate additional financing. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from the use of equity securities to pay for services. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of equity securities, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful at achieving its financing goals at reasonably commercial terms, if at all.

The recent economic downturn and market instability has made the business climate more volatile and more costly.  If the current equity and credit markets deteriorate further or do not improve, it may make necessary debt or equity financing more difficult, more costly and more dilutive.  Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s growth strategy, financial performance and stock price and could require the delay of new product development and clinical trial plans.  Currently, the Company has not made any arrangements for equity or any other type of financing.

These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the recorded assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 
 
On September 30, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to the authoritative hierarchy of GAAP. These changes establish the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the Codification. These changes and the Codification itself do not change GAAP. Other than the manner in which new accounting guidance is referenced, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Financial Statements.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for variable interest entities. These changes require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to add an additional reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on the Financial Statements.
 
On June 30, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, otherwise known as “subsequent events.” Specifically, these changes set forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.
 
5.           Commitments and Contingencies
 
On April 1, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement, subsequent amended, with a Consultant to assist the Company's Chief Scientific Officer to organize, manage and display data from animal studies as well as information relating to Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients and formulations of the Company's products through February 28, 2010.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of the Company's financial condition and the results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this document.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that in addition to the description of historical facts contained herein, this report contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties as detailed herein and from time to time in the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and elsewhere. Such statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those, described in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others: (a) the Company's fluctuations in sales and operating results; (b) risks associated with international operations; (c) regulatory, competitive and contractual risks; (d) product development risks; (e) the ability to achieve strategic initiatives, including but not limited to the ability to achieve sales growth across the business segments through a combination of enhanced sales force, new products, and customer service; and (f) pending litigation.

Management’s Plan of Operation

We are an early stage developmental biopharmaceutical company. We have no product sales to date and we will not receive any product revenue until we receive approval from the FDA or equivalent foreign regulatory bodies to begin selling our pharmaceutical candidates. Developing pharmaceutical products, however, is a lengthy and very expensive process. Assuming we do not encounter any unforeseen safety issues during the course of developing our product candidates, we do not expect to complete the development of a product candidate for several years, if ever.
 
In August and October 2007, we acquired exclusive rights to a total of six (6) pharmaceutical compound candidates that are designed for treatment of diseases which may be either existing or diseases identified in the future.  In July, 2009 we acquired the rights to an additional compound.  The Company will initially spend most of its efforts and resources on its anti-cancer compound, Kevetrin, for the treatment of certain cancers.   Kevetrin is furthest along in in-vivo studies in small animals.  Based on the experimental studies results to date, the Company has decided to advance Kevetrin along the regulatory and clinical pathway. We anticipate using our expertise to manage and perform what we believe are the most critical aspects of the product development process which include: (i) the design and oversight of clinical trials; (ii) the development and execution of strategies for the protection and maintenance of intellectual property rights; and (iii) the interaction with regulatory authorities internationally. We expect to concentrate on product development and engage in a limited way in product discovery, avoiding the significant investment of time and financial resources that is generally required before a compound is identified and brought into clinical trials. In addition, we are currently engaged in pre-clinical testing of one of our product candidates and intend to out-source clinical trials, pre-clinical testing and have currently outsourced the cGMP manufacturing of Kevetrin to third parties (Girindus America, Inc.).   
  
We are now engaged in organizational activities, sourcing compounds, synthesis of experimental quantities, and the outsourcing of cGMP manufacturing of Kevetrin.  We have incurred $512,400 in research and development expenses from inception through September 30, 2009. We have not obtained sufficient funding for our drug development business plan, nor have we generated any revenues, nor do we not expect to generate revenues in the near future. We may not be successful in developing our drugs and start selling our products when planned, or that we will become profitable in the future. We have incurred net losses in each fiscal period since inception of our operations.  
 
During the quarter, Cellceutix announced the results of experiments with Kevetrin in animal models of drug resistant lung cancer, breast cancer and colon cancer. Summaries and graphs have been made available on the Company’s website at www.cellceutix.com.
 
 
·  
Lung Cancer
 
 
 
Kevetrin was studied in two cell lines of multi-drug resistant lung cancer.  In two studies with the A549 cell line, Kevetrin showed average tumor growth delay of 72% and average tumor volume reduction of 81% compared to controls.  Both tumor growth delay and tumor volume reduction were also significantly greater with Kevetrin than with paclitaxel (Taxol) (p<0.001).  
 
 
·  
In two studies with the NCI-H1975 cell line of multi-drug resistant lung cancer, Kevetrin showed average tumor growth delay of 149% and tumor volume reduction of 94% compared to controls.  Both tumor growth delay and tumor volume reduction were greater with Kevetrin than with paclitaxel (p<0.001). 
 
 
 
·  
Breast Cancer
 
 
 
In animal model testing on a taxane-resistant, estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer human cell line, MDA-MB-435s, tumor volume was reduced by 72% and tumor growth was delayed by more than 52% with Kevetrin when compared with paclitaxel (Taxol) (p<0.01) or with cisplatin (p<0.01). 
 
 
·  
Colon Cancer
 
 
 
Kevetrin showed tumor growth delay of 43% compared to controls and paclitaxel when tested on animals with HCT-15 P-glycoprotein drug resistant colon cancer. 
 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2009 the Company had a cash balance of $87,637.   The Company will need to raise substantial funds in order to execute its product development plan.  Based upon our expected rate of expenditures, we currently do not have sufficient cash reserves to meet all of our anticipated obligations through our fiscal year end of June 30, 2010.  The Company may seek to raise capital through an offering of our common stock or other securities of the Company. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in securing the capital we require or that we may obtain financing on terms and conditions that are acceptable to the Company.

On May 7, 2008, the Company issued convertible debentures, at 9% per annum, for a total amount of $400,000 (the “2007 Convertible Debentures”).  The principle and related accrued interest are due December 1, 2009, and are secured by the Company’s assets.  The 2007 Convertible Debentures and any accrued and unpaid interest are convertible into the Company’s common stock, at the holder’s request, at a conversion price of $1.50. The current principal balance of the 2007 Convertible Debentures is $400,000 as of June 30, 2009 and remains unpaid as of November 16, 2009.

During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008, Mr. Ehrlich, an officer of the Company, converted previous amounts provided in cash totaling $32,310, to the Company to a loan (the “Ehrlich Promissory Note A”).  The Ehrlich Promissory Note A is an unsecured, 6% per annum simple interest bearing, demand note.  The current principal balance of the Ehrlich Promissory Note A is $32,310 and remains unpaid as of November 16, 2009.

During this quarter ending September 30, 2009, Mr. Ehrlich, provided additional cash of $85,000 in the form of a new loan to the Company (the “Ehrlich Promissory Note B”).  The Ehrlich Promissory Note B is an unsecured, 6% per annum simple interest bearing, demand note. The current principal balance of the Ehrlich Promissory Note B is $85,000 and remains unpaid as of November 16, 2009.

On October 15 and 29, 2009, subsequent to the date of the Balance sheet, Mr. Ehrlich, an officer of the Company, loaned the Company an additional $120,000. A condition for this loan was that the Ehrlich Promissory Note A and Ehrlich Promissory Note B be replaced with a new note, Ehrlich Promissory Note C.  The Ehrlich Promissory Note C combines the balances of Ehrlich Promissory Notes A and B, plus the additional loan amount of $120,000 for a total principal balance of  $237,310. It is an unsecured 9% per annum, simple interest bearing, demand note.  The note requires that the interest rate on the amounts due on Ehrlich Promissory Notes A and B be changed retroactively, beginning October 1, 2009, to 9%.

Requirement for Additional Capital

Research and Development Costs.  The Company has engaged in limited research and development activities. We currently do not have sufficient funds to meet our planned drug development for the next twelve (12) months and we may not be able to obtain the necessary financing on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company. Assuming that we are successful in raising additional financing, we plan to incur the following expenses over the next twelve (12) months: 
 
Research and Development of $4,500,000: Includes planned costs for Kevetrin of $2,500,000 for additional in-vivo, in-vitro, pharmaco-kinetic, pharmaco-dynamic, and toxicology studies; and cGMP materials, which should result with the data required to file an investigational new drug application (“IND”) with the FDA; and $2,000,000 in preclinical development costs for our other compounds. In August 2009, the Company signed an agreement with Girindus America, Inc., for the cGMP manufacture of Kevetrin’s active pharmaceutical ingredient.
   
2
Clinical trials – We have budgeted $2,000,000 for our Phase 1 trials (assumes success of Company’s IND filing for Kevetrin)..
   
3
Corporate overhead of $1,250,000: Budgeted office salaries, legal, accounting and other costs expected to be incurred.
   
4
Capital costs of $500,000: Estimated cost for equipment and laboratory improvements.
   
5
Staffing costs of  $500,000: The Company expects to incur these costs for the filing of  the IND which include additional scientific staff and consulting firms to assist with FDA compliance, material characterization, pharmaco-kinetic, pharmaco-dynamic and toxicology studies.
 
The Company will be unable to proceed with its full planned drug development program (s), meet its administrative expense requirements, capital costs, or staffing costs without obtaining additional financing of approximately  $8,750,000 (as per current management’s budgets). The Company does not have any arrangements at this time for equity or other financings towards meeting this financing requirement. If we are unable to obtain additional financing on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company, our business plan will be significantly delayed. 

In June 2009, the Company signed an agreement with Girindus America, Inc., for the cGMP manufacture of Kevetrin active pharmaceutical ingredient.  As of September 30, 2009, the remaining balance of Girindis work to be performed per the agreement is approximately $130,000.

 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 304(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
