NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2013 (UNAUDITED)

Note 1: Nature of Operations

TapImmune Inc. (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation incorporated in 1992, is a development stage company which was formed for the purpose of building a biotechnology business specializing in the discovery and development of immunotherapeutics aimed at the treatment of cancer, and therapies for infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders and transplant tissue rejection.

Since inception, the Company has been party to various Collaborative Research Agreements (“CRA”) working with universities to carry out development of the licensed technology and providing TapImmune the option to acquire the rights to commercialize any additional technologies developed within the CRA. The lead product candidate, now wholly owned and with no ongoing license or royalty, resulting from these license agreements is an immunotherapy vaccine, on which the Company has been completing pre-clinical work in anticipation of clinical trials. Specifically, the Company has obtained and expanded on three U.S. and international patents, tested various viral vectors, licensed a viral vector and is working towards production of a clinical grade vaccine. The Company plans to continue development of the lead product vaccine through to clinical trials in both oncology and infectious diseases alone or in partnership with other vaccine developers.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As at March 31, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $5,500,874 and has incurred significant losses since inception. Further losses are anticipated in the development stage raising substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital to fund ongoing research and development, maintenance and protection of patents, accommodation from certain debt obligations and ultimately on generating future profitable operations. Planned expenditures relating to future clinical trials of the Company’s immunotherapy vaccine will require significant additional funding. The Company is dependent on future financings to fund ongoing research and development as well as working capital requirements. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors including the rate and extent of scientific progress in its research and development programs, the timing, cost and scope involved in clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals, pursuing further patent protections and the timing and costs of commercialization activities.

Management is addressing going concern remediation through seeking new sources of capital, restructuring and retiring debt through conversion to equity and debt settlement arrangements with creditors, cost reduction programs and seeking possible joint venture participation. Management’s plans are intended to return the Company to financial stability and improve continuing operations. The Company is continuing initiatives to raise capital through private placements, related party loans and other institutional sources to meet immediate working capital requirements.

Additional funding was raised through equity and debt placements in 2013 and 2012, and management intends to continue restructuring outstanding debt and equity instruments. Additional capital is required currently to expand programs including pre-clinical work and to establish future manufacturing contracts necessary for clinical trials for the lead TAP (Transporters of Antigen Processing) vaccine and infectious disease adjuvant technology. Strategic partnerships will be needed to continue the product development portfolio and fund development costs. These measures, if successful, may contribute to reduce the risk of going concern uncertainties for the Company over the next twelve months.

There is no certainty that the Company will be able to arrange sufficient funding to satisfy current debt obligations or to continue development of products to marketability.

Note 2: UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR AN INTERIM PERIOD

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying balance sheets and related interim statements of operations and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses. Examples include: valuation of the derivative liabilities and stock-based compensation. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed on May 15, 2013, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note 3: Research Agreements

Crucell Holland B.V. (“Crucell”) – Research License and Option Agreement

Effective August 7, 2003, Crucell and the Company’s subsidiary GPI entered into a five-year research license and option agreement whereby Crucell granted to GPI a non-exclusive worldwide license for the research use of its adenovirus technology. The Company was required to make certain payments over the five-year term totaling Euro €450,000 (approximately $510,100).

At December 31, 2008, $243,598 (€172,801) was owing to Crucell under this agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2009, management negotiated a settlement of the outstanding balance requiring a €17,000 cash payment (paid) and the issuance of 265,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

In addition, retroactively effective August 7, 2008, the Company negotiated an amended license agreement for the use of Crucell’s adenovirus technology. The Company is required to make annual license payments on the anniversary of the effective date for the three year term equal to €75,000 per annum. As at March 31, 2013, the Company had accrued $443,535 (€345,957) under the amended agreement, inclusive of interest on outstanding amounts. The Company is currently delinquent on making its first annual license payment under the amended license agreement. Crucell has the right to cancel the agreement however, to date, the Company has not received any notice terminating the license agreement. Management plans to negotiate an amended payment structure with Crucell that, if successful, would allow the Company to maintain the license agreement in good standing. However, there is no certainty that the license agreement will be maintained or that Management will successfully negotiate new terms.

Note 4: DERIVATIVE WARRANT LIABILITY AND FAIR VALUE

The Company has evaluated the application ASC 480-10 Distinguishing liabilities from equity, ASC 815-40 Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity and ASC 718-10 Compensation – Stock Compensation to the issued and outstanding warrants to purchase common stock that were issued with the convertible notes, private placements, consulting agreements, and various debt settlements during 2009 through 2012. Based on the guidance, management concluded these instruments are required to be accounted for as derivatives either due to a ratchet down protection feature available on the exercise price (Note 5) or a holder’s right to put the warrants back to the Company for cash under certain conditions or a conversion option feature with conversion into variable number of shares. Under ASC 815-40-25, the Company records the fair value of these warrants and conversion options (derivatives) on its balance sheet, at fair value, with changes in the values reflected in the statements of operations as “Changes in fair value of derivative liabilities”. The fair value of the share purchase warrants are recorded on the balance sheet under ‘Derivative liability – warrants’ and the fair value of the conversion options are recorded on the balance sheet under ‘Derivative liability – conversion option’.

ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820-10 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. The Company’s Level 3 liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities associated with the warrants issued with the convertible notes during the year ended December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2012, all of the Company’s derivative liabilities were categorized as Level 3 fair value liabilities. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

Level 3 Valuation Techniques

Financial liabilities are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the notes and warrants for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

Determining fair value of share purchase warrants and conversion options, given the Company’s stage of development and financial position, is highly subjective and identifying appropriate measurement criteria and models is subject to uncertainty. There are several generally accepted pricing models for warrants and options and derivative provisions. The Company has chosen to value the warrants and conversion option on the notes that contain ratchet down provisions using the Binomial model under the following assumptions:

The foregoing assumptions are reviewed quarterly and are subject to change based primarily on management’s assessment of the probability of the events described occurring. Accordingly, changes to these assessments could materially affect the valuations.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below and disclosed on the balance sheet under Derivative liability – warrants and Derivative liability – conversion option:

The table below provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers, in and/or out, of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012:

The fair value of the warrants is determined using a Binomial option pricing model. The valuation of warrants is subjective and is affected by changes in inputs to the valuation model including the price per share of common stock, the historical volatility of the stock price, risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields, the expected term of the warrants and dividend yield. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. The Company could ultimately incur amounts to settle the warrant at a cash settlement value that is significantly different than the carrying value of the liability on the financial statements. The Company will continue to classify the fair value of the warrants as a liability until the warrants are exercised, expire, or are amended in a way that would no longer require these warrants to be classified as a liability. Changes in the fair value of the common stock warrants liability are recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the statement of operations.

The net cash settlement value at the time of any future Fundamental Transaction will depend upon the value of the following inputs at that time: the consideration value per share of the Company’s common stock, the volatility of the Company’s common stock, the remaining term of the warrant from announcement date, the risk-free interest rate based on U.S. Treasury security yields, and the Company’s dividend yield. The warrant requires use of a volatility assumption equal to the greater of 100% and the 100-day volatility function determined as of the trading day immediately following announcement of a Fundamental Transaction. The fair value of the warrants is determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model.

Note 5: CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

The note holder has the option to convert a portion or all of the outstanding balance of the October 2012 Note including any accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of $0.12 per share or to a new lower issuance price if the Company issues shares (or reduces the conversion or exercise price for outstanding debt or warrants) for less than $0.12.

Provided that there is sufficient volume in the trading of the Company’s common stock and other criteria are met, the Company may elect to make any payment due on an installment date in shares of common stock. If the Company elects to make a payment in shares of common stock, the number of shares that the Company issues will be equal to the amount to be converted divided by the lesser of the conversion price or 70% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the shares of common stock during the prior twenty consecutive trading days.

The warrants include price adjustment provisions whereby the exercise price will be adjusted downwards based on future grants, which results in a share issuance at a per share amount less than $0.25 per share, or repricing of any existing warrants to a lower price. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the investor converted 1,898,588 share warrants into shares at a price of $0.0572 per share (Note 9).

Overview

Taplmmune Inc. is a vaccine technologies company specializing in the development of innovative gene based immunotherapeutics and vaccines in the areas of oncology and infectious disease. The Company's lead product candidates, include vaccines designed to restore and augment antigen presentation and subsequent recognition and killing of cancer cells by the immune system. The Company recently began treating patients in its first Phase 1 immunotherapy clinical trial targeting HER2/neu in breast cancer at the Mayo clinic (see Clinicaltrials.gov). This trial uses patented antigen technologies developed at the Mayo clinic and will follow patients for safety and immune responses as the primary endpoints. During the first year of this trial there will be a safety review interim analysis. TapImmune has the exclusive Option to license this technology. The Company is also developing TAP-based prophylactic vaccines commercially suitable for the prevention of infectious diseases and as Biodefense agents. We have applied for a grant in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic for the biodefense applications of this technology in and expect to file additional grants to support preclinical work on “boost” strategies for HER2/neu breast cancer. As a vaccine component, the gene based TAP technology has the potential to significantly improve the efficacy of both prophylactic and immunotherapeutic vaccines as it addresses a fundamental mechanism for T cell recognition and response. Unlike other vaccine technologies that address only the initiation of immune responses, TAP expression also has the unique ability to enhance the effector function of mature killer T cells. This enhancement of effector function is potentially complementary to any/all vaccine approaches that are designed to enhance cellular responses.

The current standard therapies for cancer treatment include surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. However, we believe that these treatments are not precise in targeting only cancerous cells and often fail to remove or destroy all of the cancer. The remaining cancer cells may then grow into new tumors, which can be resistant to further chemotherapy or radiation, which may result in death. In the United States, deaths from cancer are second only to cardiovascular deaths. Our breast cancer immunotherapeutic vaccine candidate is being developed for use in this setting as an adjuvant treatment to prevent recurrent disease.

Management strongly believes that the comprehensive scientific underpinnings of our overall approach, to elicit the production of both T-helper cells and T-killer cells, will provide the Company with highly competitive product candidates for the treatment of HER2/neu positive breast cancer with additional applications in ovarian and colorectal cancer.

In May, we entered into a Material Transfer Agreement with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (“FHCRC”), Seattle, WA. The initial aim of this collaboration is to determine levels of TAP1/TAP2 in tissues taken from melanoma patients in a clinical trial at FHCRC using adoptive T-cell therapy and to correlate these levels with clinical outcomes.

Regarding our programs for the development of vaccines aimed at viral pandemics/biodefense, we believe that collaborations with the Mayo Clinic have progressed well and studies on the immunogenicity of novel smallpox antigens in mice treated with both antigens and TAP expression vectors are ongoing. We plan to complete animal efficacy and human safety studies through non-dilutive grant funding in collaboration with Dr. Greg Poland and colleagues at the Mayo Clinic and anticipate that further development will be completed through strategic corporate partnerships. The use of non-dilutive grant funding to progress this area allows the Company to focus the majority of its internal resources on HER2/neu breast cancer.

The facilities at 1551 Eastlake Avenue, Seattle have exceeded our expectations and allowed us to continue to recruit top-class scientific staff while at the same time effectively leverage world class resources made available to us and manage our cash flow. We have added technical staff in the areas of molecular biology and immunology. Our small core team (7 scientists) has allowed us to establish in-house technical expertise in molecular biology (expression vector development) and immunology to underpin our current and future development projects and to optimally work with external collaborators. It has also allowed us to make significant progress in the refinement and focus of clinical programs to take advantage of new antigens, the emerging field of vaccinomics and vaccine development strategies. In addition, it has allowed us to start generating new intellectual property (IP) to add to our core TAP IP and the antigen IP from the Mayo Clinic that we have either licensed or have exclusive options to license.

Over the past few months we have, in a challenging financing climate, raised sufficient working capital to fund and progress our operations. We believe that we continue to make good progress with the resources available to us. With the start of clinical programs and our focus on securing non-dilutive financing from a number of sources, management is confident that our current pathway will secure longer term capital to finance and accelerate our activities. The strength of our science and development approaches is becoming more widely appreciated, particularly as our clinical program generates data and as we embrace additional collaborations with leading institutions and corporations.

While the pathway to successful product development takes time and significant resources, we believe that we have put in place the technical and corporate fundamentals for success. The strength of our product pipeline gives us a unique opportunity to make a major contribution to global health care.

The Immunotherapy Industry for Cancer

Management believes that there is a critical need for more effective cancer therapies. Management further believes that the global market for effective cancer treatments is large and that immunotherapies representing potential treatments for metastatic cancer are an unmet need in the area of oncology.

The human immune system appears to have the potential to clear cancers from the body, based on clinical observations that some tumors spontaneously regress when the immune system is activated. Most cancers are not very “immunogenic”, however, meaning that the cancers are not able to induce an immune response because they no longer express sufficient levels of key proteins on their cell surface, known as Major Histocompatability Class I or MHC Class I proteins. These proteins provide the information to the immune system that defines whether the cell is healthy or, in the case of cancer or viral infection, abnormal. If the MHC Class I proteins signal that the cells are abnormal, then the immune system’s T-cells are activated to attack and kill the infected or malignant cell.

In many solid cancer tumors, the TAP protein system does not function and, therefore, the immune system is not stimulated to attack the cancer. Management believes that although a number of cancer therapies have been developed that stimulate the immune system, these approaches have often proven ineffective because the cancers remain invisible to the immune system due to this apparent lack of or low expression of the TAP protein.

By restoring TAP expression to TAP-deficient cells, the MHC Class I protein peptide complexes could signal the immune system to attack the cancer. The strategic vision of TapImmune is to be a product-driven biotechnology company, focusing primarily on use of its patented TAP technology to restore the TAP function within cancerous cells, thus making them immunogenic, or more “visible” to cancer fighting immune cells. Management believes that this cancer vaccine strategy will provide the most viable therapeutic approach that addresses this problem of “non-immunogenicity” of cancer. Management believes that this therapy may have a strong competitive advantage over other cancer therapies, since restoring the TAP protein will direct the immune system to specifically target the cancerous cells without damaging healthy tissue.

As a key part of its overall strategy, and with adequate funding, the Company is pursuing the development of prophylactic vaccines against infectious microbes and will also do so in partnership with other vaccine developers. The Company intends to develop the TAP technology for use as a vaccine that restores normal immune recognition for the treatment of cancer and supplements immune recognition for the development of prophylactic vaccines.

TapImmune’s Target Market Strategy

With the required funding in place, we plan to focus our resources on the progression of products in our lead oncology indication, HER2/neu positive breast cancer. We will support and expand on our key infectious disease partnerships, including our collaboration efforts with the Mayo Clinic and others using grants. We have applied for a grant in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic to progress our smallpox program and extend it to additional emerging viral threats.. Cancer encompasses a large number of diseases that affect many different parts of the human body. The diversity of cancer types and their overall prevalence create a large need for new and improved treatments. Management believes that there is a significant market opportunity for a cancer treatment that utilizes the highly specific defense mechanisms of the immune system to attack cancers. Vaccines continue to be the success story for pharmaceutical companies, with the world market for preventative vaccines totaling $22.1 billion in 2009, up from $19 billion in 2008, according to healthcare market research publisher Kalorama Information. Kalorama’s new report, Vaccines 2010. World Market Analysis, Key Players, and Critical Trends in a Fast-Changing Industry, notes that the worldwide vaccine market is predicted to increase at a compound annual rate of 9.7% during the next five years, as new product introductions continue and the use of current products expands further (http://www.kaloramainformation.com/Vaccines-Key-Players-2684026). Our targeting of the HER2/neu antigen provides commercial opportunities in breast, ovarian and colorectal cancer.

In the USA, the second leading cause of death by illness is cancer. The current estimates for cancer treatments such as chemotherapy represent approximately a US$7 billion market. The National Cancer Institute expects cancer to be the leading cause of death in the USA within 5 years. Cancer vaccines will become a major player in the vaccine market. According to the report Cancer Vaccines Markets, (http://www.pharmaceutical-market research.com/publications/diseases_conditions/cancer/cancer_vaccines_markets.html) cancer vaccines have the potential to become a significant force in future cancer treatments. The approval of two immunotherapy products, Dendreon’s Provenge® in 2010 for advanced prostate cancer, and Bristol Myers Squibb’s Yervoy® in 2011 together with several late-stage clinical programs has generated renewed interest and support for this type of cancer immune therapy.

This relatively new commercial market for cancer vaccines is poised to dramatically increase to over $7 billion by 2015.

Management also believes that our prophylactic vaccine adjuvant will be a catalyst in the development of new vaccines and will serve to enhance the efficacy of current vaccines in the treatment of infectious disease. It will be a key business development strategy to pursue additional partnerships and joint research and development ventures with vaccine manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies to bring new and improved vaccines to market. This strategy includes the development of vaccines for pandemic diseases and for bioterrorism threats. The global market for vaccines is dominated by five companies—Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi Pasteur (the vaccines division of Sanofi SA [SNY-NYSE]), Pfizer Inc. (PFE-NYSE), and Novartis—with Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi, and Novartis collectively accounting for approximately 74% of the market (Source: Transparency Market Research’s Global Vaccine Market Analysis and Forecast 2011-2016). This market is estimated at roughly $30 billion worldwide, with the U.S. contributing approximately $20 billion. Importantly, there still exist significant development opportunities in the global vaccine market, as there are more than 300 infectious diseases yet effective prophylactic therapies for only approximately 15% of these (Source: The Life Sciences Report’s “Vaccine Therapies Hold Promise for Investors: Stephen Dunn,” April 12, 2012). Management believes that our TAP Platform technology will increase the potency of many of the currently available vaccines and lead to the creation of better, more effective new vaccines, thereby allowing us to participate in this large market through novel new products and in combination with existing vaccines.

Research and Development Efforts

We direct our research and development efforts towards the development of immunotherapeutic and prophylactic vaccine products for the treatment of cancer and protection against pathogenic microbes respectively, using our proprietary TAP technology. We have focused our efforts initially on the development of a therapeutic vaccine for applications in cancer treatment while demonstrating the breadth of the TAP technology for the development of prophylactic vaccines and its ability to complement currently approved and emerging products in both cancer therapeutics and prophylactic vaccines against microbes. This approach allows us to pursue our own internal product development while positioning us to enter into multiple partnerships and licensing agreements. We will also rely on our new collaboration agreements with Mayo clinic to demonstrate the use of TAP in new vaccine candidates. In parallel with our viral vector approach we plan to develop non-viral vectors for the delivery of plasmid DNA.

Products and Technology in Development

TAP Cancer Vaccine

Based on earlier research at UBC Biomedical Research Centre in Vancouver BC, our overall objective is to successfully develop the patented TAP gene vector technology to restore the TAP protein, with the objective being to develop the TAP technology as a therapeutic cancer vaccine that will restore the normal immune recognition of cancer cells. A TAP Cancer Vaccine will be targeted at those cancers that are deficient in the TAP protein, which include breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, melanoma, renal cancer and colorectal cancer. TAP gene vectors will be used clinically in concert with proprietary antigen technologies in a “Prime and Boost” strategy. In our HER2/neu breast cancer program, which has started at the Mayo Clinic, proprietary HER2/neu antigens licensed from the Mayo Clinic will be used as the “Prime” and a TAP gene vector also containing antigens will be used as the “Boost”.

As part of a vaccine approach a TAP gene vector will deliver the genetic information required for the production of the TAP protein in the target cancer cell. This will trigger the cancer cell’s ability to effectively identify itself to the body’s immune system by transporting the cancer antigen peptides to the cell surface using the individual’s specific MHC Class I proteins. As a result, we believe that the immune response could be targeted to the entire repertoire of cancer antigen peptides produced by the cancer cell, rather than just to a single cancer antigen, as delivered by current cancer vaccines. A TAP Cancer Vaccine could allow the immune response to respond to the cancer even if the TAP protein and genetic information were only delivered to a small portion of the cancer cells. In addition, a TAP Cancer Vaccine would generate an immune response to any TAP-deficient cancer, regardless of the patient’s individual genetic variability either in the MHC Class I proteins or in the cancer-specific proteins and resultant peptides.

In general, a “cancer vaccine” is a therapy whose goal is to stimulate the immune system to attack tumors. Management believes that most current cancer vaccines contain either cancer-specific proteins that directly activate the immune system or contain genetic information, such as DNA, that encodes these cancer-specific proteins. Management believes that there are a number of key conditions that must be met before a cancer vaccine can be effective in generating a therapeutic immune response: (i) the cancer antigen peptide delivered by the vaccine has to be recognized by the immune system as “abnormal” or “foreign” in order to generate a strong and specific T-cell response; (ii) the same cancer antigen peptide has to be displayed on the surface of the cancer cells in association with the MHC Class I proteins; and (iii) these cancer antigen peptides then have to be sufficiently different from normal proteins in order to generate a strong anti-tumor response.

If these conditions are all met, then management believes that such cancer vaccines should generate a sufficiently strong immune response to kill the cancer cells. However, the identification of suitable cancer-specific antigen proteins to use in these therapeutic vaccines has proven extremely complex. In addition, the MHC Class I proteins are highly variable, with over 100 different types in humans and, as a result, any one-cancer antigen peptide will not produce an immune response for all individuals. Cancers are “genetically unstable” and their proteins are highly variable, so that the selected cancer antigen protein may result in the immune system only attacking a small subset of the cancerous cells.

Laboratory Testing of the TAP Cancer Vaccine

Management believes that key milestones of efficacy in animal models of cancer have been achieved and that scientific research from other laboratories has validated the efficacy data. The proof of principle for the TAP technology as a cancer vaccine has been established in research conducted at UBC in metastatic models that have multiple defects in the “antigen presentation pathway” resulting in poor detection of cancer cells by the immune system. These studies demonstrating that introduction of the TAP gene can restore an immune response have been published in a number of peer-reviewed leading scientific journals (links to publications can be found at www.tapimmune.com). We plan to conduct additional pre-clinical work on novel expression vectors that can express both TAP proteins and peptide antigens.

Pre-Clinical Testing

Once the formal pre-clinical testing is completed, we intend to compile and summarize the data and submit it to the United States Federal Drug Administration (or “FDA”) and/or the Canadian Health Canada (or “HC”), and/or other national regulatory agencies, in the form of an investigational new drug application. We anticipate that these applications would include data on vaccine production, animal studies and toxicology studies, as well as proposed protocols for the Phase I human clinical trials, described below.

Phase I Human Clinical Trials– HER2/neu Vaccine Technology – Mayo Clinic

On June 1, 2010, we signed an exclusive licensing option agreement with the Mayo Clinic, Rochester MN for clinical development of a new HER2/neu breast cancer vaccine technology. An IND for Phase I human clinical trials on the HER2/neu cancer vaccine in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic was allowed by the FDA in July, 2011 and the Mayo IRB approved the trial on May 4 2012. Patient dosing has started, and interim safety analysis on the first five patients is complete and was successful. The trial is ongoing and we expect to be able to release interim data in the next few months.

The primary endpoint for this trial will be vaccine safety. Secondary endpoints will be immune responses including generation of antigen-specific T-cells and time to disease progression in breast cancer patients. As this trial progresses, we plan to add the Class I peptide, licensed from the Mayo Clinic to the four Class II peptides as an extension of the Phase I clinical trial. In parallel, we will complete the manufacturing and toxicity of vector delivered Tap1/2 for subsequent Phase I human clinical trials and for use in combination in later stage clinical trials with the HER2/neu antigens as part of a “Prime and Boost” strategy. On April 16, 2012 we announced the licensing of a novel HER2/neu Class I antigen from the Mayo Clinic and are currently evaluating the clinical pathway to include this in our current “Prime and Boost” strategy. Management believes that the combination of Class I and Class II HER2/neu antigens plus TAP gives us the leading HER2/neu vaccine platform.

Clinical trials to support new drug applications are typically conducted in three sequential phases, although the phases may overlap. During Phase I there is an initial introduction of the therapeutic candidate into healthy human subjects or patients. The drug is tested to assess metabolism, pharmacokinetics and pharmacological actions and safety, including side effects associated with increasing doses. For immunotherapeutics/vaccine, Phase I studies are conducted in cancer patients and include the measurement of cellular immune responses. Phase II usually involves studies in a limited patient population to assess the clinical activity of the drug in specific targeted indications, assess dosage tolerance and optimal dosage and continue to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks. If the therapeutic candidate is found to be potentially effective and to have an acceptable safety profile in Phase II evaluations, Phase III trials are undertaken to further demonstrate clinical efficacy and to further test for safety within an expanded patient population at geographically dispersed clinical trial sites.

Infectious Disease Application for “TAP” Adjuvant

TapImmune plans to develop or license out our technology for the creation of enhanced viral vaccines, such as for smallpox and others, based on our findings that TAP can augment immune responses. We have presented data showing that increasing TAP expression in TAP-competent antigen presenting cells (APCs) and/or virus infected cells increases the antigenic peptide associated with MHC class I expression on the cell surface, and leads to increased specific T cell-mediated immune responses. We believe this technology can add great value to the creation of new vaccines and enhance those that already exist. We believe our collaborations with the Mayo Clinic is evidence of this and we will continue to pursue additional partnerships and collaborations as a key strategy to expand our research and development (R&D) program to optimize resources and to reduce costs and development times. In our collaboration with the Mayo Clinic, efficacy studies in small animals on a novel smallpox vaccine that includes TAP, were initiated in 2011 and are progressing on schedule. The subsequent regulatory pathway for this product is to use the FDA’s “Animal Efficacy Rule” for completion of efficacy studies in primates followed by Phase I clinical studies on vaccine safety.

The cost of funding our current Phase I clinical program in HER2/neu breast cancer at the Mayo Clinic is approximately $850,000 and is mostly paid off as this report. We anticipate that on-going preclinical studies and Phase I studies on our TAP expression vectors will cost approximately $5million. We intend to progress our infectious disease programs with non-dilutive grant funding as well. In collaboration with the Vaccine Group at the Mayo Clinic we will continue development of our smallpox vaccine and to expand the use of our TAP platform to emerging pathogens that could be either pandemic or bioterrorist threats.

Strategic Relationships

Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research

On May 26, 2010 we signed a Technology Option Agreement with the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, Rochester, MN, for the evaluation of HER2/neu peptide epitopes as antigens for a breast cancer vaccine. The agreement grants TapImmune an exclusive worldwide option to become the exclusive licensee of the technology after completion of Phase I clinical trials.

Following approval of the IND by the FDA in July, 2011, TapImmune and the Mayo Foundation executed a Sponsored Research Agreement for the clinical trial.

On May 4, 2012, Mayo IRB approval was confirmed and patient dosing is expected to start in June 2012.

On July 24, 2010, we signed a Research and Technology License Option Agreement with the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, Rochester, MN, to evaluate novel smallpox peptide antigens. The Agreement grants TapImmune an exclusive worldwide option to become the exclusive licensee of the smallpox vaccine technology after research studies have been completed under the terms of the agreement.

On April 16, 2012, we announced an Exclusive Agreement with the Mayo Foundation for Education & Research, Rochester, MN, to License a proprietary MHC Class I HER2/neu antigen technology. This antigen was discovered in the laboratory of Dr. Keith Knutson at the Mayo Clinic. In contrast to Class I antigens in clinical testing this novel antigen is naturally produced in the intracellular proteasome and presented to T-cells as the MHC Class I peptide complex. Scientific details of this new work was presented by Andrea Henle of Dr. Knutson’s lab at the Annual Meeting of The American Association of Immunologists held in Boston, MA, May 2012 and by Mark Reddish, Head of Development at TapImmune at the Third Annual Cancer Vaccines and Active Immunity Summit, Boston, June 26, 2012. A peer-reviewed manuscript from the Knutson lab, which describes the science in detail, has been accepted for publication in Journal of Immunology.

Intellectual Property, Patents and Trademarks

Patents and other proprietary rights are vital to our business operations. We protect our technology through various United States and foreign patent filings, and maintain trade secrets that we own. Our policy is to seek appropriate patent protection both in the United States and abroad for its proprietary technologies and products. We require each of our employees, consultants and advisors to execute a confidentiality agreement upon the commencement of any employment, consulting or advisory relationship with us. Each agreement provides that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the course of the relationship will be kept confidential and not be disclosed to third parties except in specified circumstances. In the case of employees, the agreements provide that all inventions conceived of by an employee shall be our exclusive property.

Patent applications in the United States are maintained in secrecy until patents are issued. There can be no assurance that our patents, and any patents that may be issued to us in the future, will afford protection against competitors with similar technology. In addition, no assurances can be given that the patents issued to us will not be infringed upon or designed around by others or that others will not obtain patents that we would need to license or design around.

On August 11, 1998, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued US Patent No. 5,792,604 to UBC, being a patent for the use of bioengineered cell lines to measure the output of the MHC Class I restricted antigen presentation pathway as a way to screen for immunomodulating drugs. The patent is titled “Method of Identifying MHC Class I Restricted Antigens Endogenously Processed by a Secretory Pathway.” This patent covers the assay which can identify compounds capable of modulating the immune system. The inventors were Dr. Jefferies, Dr. Gabathuler, Dr. Kolaitis and Dr. Reid, who collectively assigned the patent to UBC under an assignment agreement. The patent expires on March 12, 2016. We have been granted patent protection for this patent in Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden Switzerland and the United Kingdom, and have applied for patent protection in Canada and Japan.

Method of Enhancing an Immune Response

On October 27, 2011 The US Patent Office has issued Patent 7,994,146 entitled “Method of Enhancing an Immune Response”. The invention relates to a method of enhancing an immune response to an antigen by augmenting the level of TAP (Transporters Associated with Antigen Processing) molecule in a target cell bearing the antigen. This patent details application to treating vaccinia, herpes simplex and influenza virus infections and small cell lung cancer. Levels of TAP in humans correlate with susceptibility to certain diseases and the ability to respond to a vaccine.

TAP Vaccines and other filings

We intend to continue to work with our collaborators to file additional patent applications with respect to any novel aspects of our technology to further protect our intellectual property portfolio. An invention that describes the use of bio-acceptable substances to promote the transcription of the TAP-1 gene in TAP-1 expression-deficient cells was filed in July 2009 and was available to us under an option agreement with the University of British Columbia. The patent is entitled “HAT acetylation promoters and uses of compositions thereof in promoting immunogenicity”. The Company will not pursue this technology or continue to prosecute this additional patent and has released its option back to the University of British Columbia.

Competition

The oncology industry is characterized by rapidly evolving technology and intense competition. Many companies of all sizes, including a number of large pharmaceutical companies as well as several specialized biotechnology companies, are developing various immunotherapies and drugs to treat cancer. While management believes that we have a unique platform technology approach there may be products on the market that will compete directly with the products that we are seeking to develop. In addition, colleges, universities, governmental agencies and other public and private research institutions will continue to conduct research and are becoming more active in seeking patent protection and licensing arrangements to collect license fees and royalties in exchange for license rights to technologies that they have developed, some of which may directly compete with our technologies and products. These companies and institutions may also compete with us in recruiting qualified scientific personnel. Many of our potential competitors have substantially greater financial, research and development, human and other resources than us. Furthermore, large pharmaceutical companies may have significantly more experience than we do in pre-clinical testing, human clinical trials and regulatory approval procedures. Such competitors may develop safer and more effective products, obtain patent protection or intellectual property rights that limit our ability to commercialize products, or commercialize products earlier than we do.

Management expects technology developments in the oncology industry to continue to occur at a rapid pace. Commercial developments by any competitors may render some or all of our potential products obsolete or non-competitive, which could materially harm the company’s business and financial condition.

Management believes that the following companies, which are developing various types of similar immunotherapies and therapeutic cancer vaccines to treat cancer, could be our major competitors: CellGenSys Inc., Dendreon Corp., Galena, Immune Design, Immunocellular, Oncothyreon, Celldex, BN Immunotherapeutics, and Transgene S.A.

Our Financial Condition

During the next 12 months, we anticipate that we will not generate any sales revenue but may receive grant funding. We had cash of $4,436 and a working capital deficit of $5,500,874 at March 31, 2013. We will require significant additional financial resources and will be dependent on future financings to fund our ongoing research and development as well as other working capital requirements.

Plan of Operation and Funding

As a vaccine component, the gene based TAP technology has the potential to significantly improve the efficacy of both prophylactic and immunotherapeutic vaccines as it addresses a fundamental mechanism for T cell recognition and response. We believe that, unlike other vaccine technologies that address only the initiation of immune responses, TAP expression also has the unique ability to enhance the effector function of mature killer T cells. This enhancement of effector function is potentially complementary to any/all vaccine approaches that are designed to enhance cellular responses. Therefore, we envisage establishing multiple collaborative partnerships as we progress gene-based TAP development and research in the clinic. The exploitation of this key mechanism is highlighted by two collaborations with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN and their progress in 2012 and Q1 2013.

Management believes that as a result of our recent personnel additions, our moving into a state of the art facility, our exclusive Licensing Option agreements with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, the start of term Phase 1 clinical trials, together with and subject to raising adequate funding, the Company will be well positioned for significant growth in 2013.

In August 2011, the FDA allowed an IND (Investigational New Drug application) and the Company signed a sponsored research agreement with the Mayo Clinic for a Phase 1 Her2neu Breast Cancer Clinical Trial, which started in the first quarter of 2012. The trial will use a patented technology developed at the Mayo clinic. TapImmune has the exclusive Option to license this technology. Recent clinical trials of Her2neu vaccines have shown considerable promise but have significant room for improvements, and the technology we are evaluating in our phase I clinical trial offers a vaccine with broader coverage, making it applicable to a much larger population of women with breast cancer. We anticipate that this technology will be used therapeutically together with our TAP expression technology as it reaches clinical development in combination with the improved Her2neu targeted vaccine. Currently, Herceptin® (trastuzumab: an intravenously delivered monoclonal antibody) is used in the treatment of HER-2/neu breast cancer. Sales of this product in 2009 were approximately US$5 billion (source: Roche AG’s Pharmaceutical Division). As our vaccine approach has the potential to treat a broader HER-2/neu positive clinical population, the market potential is significant.

Our Gene-based TAP vaccines also have the potential to significantly improve the efficacy of prophylactic vaccines for viral pandemics and as agents for biodefense. In a novel approach to the development of a smallpox vaccine, in our collaboration with the Mayo Clinic, research studies have progressed well and are now testing unique and patentable smallpox antigens in combination with TAP technology. Once these feasibility studies are complete we would move to larger preclinical animal studies, and Phase I safety trials. This study will also act as a platform for more extensive use of gene-based TAP vectors for biodefense. We will be seeking non-dilutive avenues to finance and advance this program by way of biodefense focused grants and contracts. We have the exclusive option to license the patented Mayo technology that is derived from this collaboration.

With respect to the broader market, a major driver and positive influence on our activities has been the emergence and general acceptance of the potential of a new generation of immunotherapies that promise to change the standard of care for cancer. The immunotherapy sector has been greatly stimulated by the approval of Provenge® (Dendreon NASD: DNDN) for prostate cancer and Yervoy™ (BMS) for metastatic melanoma, anticipation of the results from Phase III trials on MAGE-3 (GSK) for treatment of lung cancer, and progression of approaches for multiple cancer indications through Phase II and into Phase III.

Management believes that TapImmune is well positioned to be a leading player in this emerging market. It is important to note that the late stage immunotherapies in development do not necessarily represent competition to our programs, but rather offer us opportunities as our TAP expression technology is potentially synergistic with many other vaccine approaches. The addition of a TAP expression vector to patients already receiving a therapeutic vaccine could enhance the efficacy of these vaccines, as TAP is designed to help killer T-cells kill tumor cells. This concept of enhancing the effector stage of an immune response differentiates TAP technology from a wide list of immunotherapies currently in development, and offers a great opportunity for collaborations and partnerships. Accordingly we believe that the use of TAP expression vectors represents the next logical step in the development of more effective immunotherapies.

In 2012 and Q1 2013, we continued to made significant progress with very few resources. Progress in developing vectors for expression of antigens and TAP as a boost strategy has led to new intellectual property that we intend to file in the second quarter of 2013. On the technology and product pipeline side, management believes that the company is fundamentally strong and poised to be a leading company in a highly attractive and expanding market.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

In this discussion of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, amounts, other than per-share amounts, have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.

We are a development stage company. We recorded a net loss of $1,076,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $599,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Operating costs increased to $1,041,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $672,000 in the prior period. Significant changes in operating expenses are outlined as follows:

·         Consulting fees increased to $30,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $nil during the prior period, due to a new consulting agreement entered into in April 2012.

·         Consulting fee – stock-based decreased to $68,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $134,000 during the prior period. The lower current period expense is primarily due to decreased share based payments to the consultants compared to the prior period.

·         General and administrative expenses increased to $207,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $142,000 in the prior period, with the increase resulting from increased staff and rental costs at the Company’ Seattle office and higher travel related expense in the current period.

·         Interest and finance charges increased to $335,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $97,000 during the prior period. Current and prior period interest charges are primarily accretion of convertible debt notes as additional convertible notes were issued in the second half of 2012.

·         Management fees decreased to $59,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $80,000 during the prior period due to decrease in compensation to management in the current period.

·         Management fees – stock-based decreased to $16,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $30,000 during the prior period. The current and prior period expense consists of the fair value of option grants earned during the period.

·         Professional fees increased to $84,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $74,000 during the prior period, due to higher legal fees incurred relating to debt restructuring in the current period.

·         Research and development increased to $243,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $115,000 during the prior period. This was due to higher technology licensing fee accrued for payments due to Mayo clinic and Crucell Holland B.V. in the current period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2013, we had $4,000 in cash. Generally, we have financed our operations through the proceeds from convertible notes and the private placement of equity securities as noted in Financing Activities below. We decreased our net cash by $46,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to an increase of $226,000 during the prior period.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $471,000 compared to $332,000 during the prior period. We had no revenues during the current or prior periods. Operating expenditures, excluding non-cash interest and stock-based charges during the current period primarily consisted of consulting and management fees, office and general expenditures, and professional fees.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $Nil compared to $Nil during the prior period.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $425,000 compared to $106,000 during the prior period. Current period financing consisted of proceeds from private placements and advances from related parties while prior period financing relates to proceeds from convertible notes and advances from related parties.

At March 31, 2013, we had 6,528,000 stock options and 16,530,744 share purchase warrants outstanding. The outstanding stock options had a weighted average exercise price of $0.18 per share, with the warrants having a weighted average exercise price of $0.32 per share. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2013, the outstanding options and warrants represented a total of 23,058,744 shares issuable for proceeds of approximately $6,518,000 if these options and warrants were exercised in full. The exercise of these options and warrants is completely at the discretion of the holders. There is no assurance that any of these options or warrants will be exercised.

As of March 31, 2013, we anticipate that we will need significant financing to enable us to meet our anticipated expenditures for the next 24 months, which are expected to be in the range of $5,000,000 assuming a single Phase 1 clinical trial.

Going Concern

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and pay our liabilities arising from our business operations when they come due. We intend to finance our anticipated operating expenses with further issuances of common stock through private placement offerings or loans from private investors. Management believes that the Company will be able to continue limited operations with accommodations from debt holders and additional temporary short term funding over the next twelve months. Due to capital market conditions, funding continues to be challenging. It is unlikely the Company will be able to continue as a going concern past a twelve month horizon if significant equity funding is not raised within this period.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than as disclosed in the financial statements, we have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

Refer to Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements for our year ended December 31, 2012 for a summary of significant accounting policies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

It should be noted that any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions designed to obtain reasonable (and not absolute) assurance as to its effectiveness, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404 A. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”).

As of September 30, 2012, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control -Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, as at September 30, 2012 such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below.

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company’s management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) inadequate entity level controls due to an ineffective audit committee resulting from the presence of only one of independent members on the current audit committee and the presence of only one outside director on our board of directors; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.

Management believes that none of the material weaknesses set forth above had a material adverse effect on the Company's financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 but management is concerned that the material weakness in entity level controls set forth in item (1) results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, it could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will continue to enhance our internal control over financial reporting by: i) expanding our personnel, ii) improving segregated duties consistent with control objectives, iii) appointing more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to our audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management; and iv) preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the ineffective audit committee. To this end, Mr. James Fuller was appointed to our audit Committee in the second quarter of 2012. In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following material weaknesses (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial close and reporting processes. Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel will result in improved segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the financial reporting department.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action by implementing additional enhancements or improvements, or deploying additional human resources as may be deemed necessary.

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal controls over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
