Item 1. Business. We were originally incorporated in Nevada in 1997. We were formerly known as Persona Records Inc, ("Persona") a corporation involved in the marketing and development of music recordings. In November 1998, we merged with Nouveaux Corporation with Persona as the surviving corporation. We changed our name to HIV-VAC Inc, in March 1999. We changed our name to Grupo International Inc on September 2, 2010. Our business is the development and marketing of a proposed vaccine designed to combat HIV/AIDS. This proposed vaccine, which is called NFU.Ac.HIV, was developed by Dr. Gordon Skinner, our director of research, through the University of Birmingham, in the U.K. The proposed vaccine was licensed to Intracell Vaccines Limited from the University of Birmingham in November of 1998, and Intracell in turn entered into an assignment of the license agreement with us in April of 1999. We terminated our license agreement with the University in 2007 as we did not believe that we would be able to commercialize the vaccine prior to the expiration of the patents in 2011. We plan to continue development of the vaccine and believe that it may be possible to establish new patents, depending on the outcome of our research. In addition to his position as our Chairman and President, Kevin Murray is the managing Director of Intracell Vaccines Limited. Further, our Director of Research, Dr. Gordon Skinner is a Director of Intracell. Dr. Skinner, Kevin Murray and John Palethorpe, our Vice President, each own 33.33% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of Intracell. Intracell currently owns 6,683,244 or 67.97% of the outstanding shares of our outstanding common stock and 10,000 or 100% of our outstanding Series A preferred stock. See security ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management. The proposed vaccine was developed in Birmingham, UK, by Dr. Skinner. The approach was based on twenty years experience of similar intracellular vaccines, one of which has shown to modulate the pattern of herpes genitalis in a multi center, placebo controlled trial in the United States and has been used prophylactically and therapeutically on a named patient basis for two decades in the UK. By 1993, the underlying concept for the vaccine had been examined for feasibility of preparation of the proposed vaccine under the guidance of Dr. Skinner. The first experimental preparation was made using a B subtype of the isolate HIV-1 or GB8 virus strain grown in a leukaemic T-lymphocyte cell line from a young male known as JM cells and was manufactured at the Centre for Applied Microbiological Research (CAMR), in Porton Down, UK. The proposed vaccine was tested for antigenic content (protein on the surface of a cell or bacterium that stimulates the production of antibody) at CAMR and for antigenic content and immunogenicity (production of an immune response) in laboratories at the Department of Infection, University of Birmingham. This work was financially supported by the Vaccine Research Trust, a Charitable Trust registered in the UK and chaired by Dr. Skinner. This led to the publication of a scientific paper entitled "Early Studies on a andidate Intracellular Subunit Vaccine NFU.AcHIV[JM] for prevention and/or modification of HIV related disease," in the Journal Intervirolgy 1994;37:259-268. Between 1993 and 1999 the proposed vaccine was the subject of a research contract between Dr. Skinner, at the time a senior lecturer at the University of Birmingham, and the Russian Federal AIDS center, Moscow, Russia. The proposed vaccine underwent initial tests to establish optimum conditions of preparation, antigenicity and immunogenicity in Russia, with additional tests for antigenicity being carried out in the UK. The proposed vaccine remained the property of the University of Birmingham during this time. Preclinical trials were undertaken at the Russian Federal AIDS center, Moscow, Russia during the period June 2000 through December 2001. The trials were undertaken in small animals. Data from the trials indicate that the vaccine appears to be safe. The vaccine was also shown to illicit an immune response in small animals. We have been unable to secure funding for a phase one humans trial. This trial is estimated to require $6 million to 7 million to complete and is required to demonstrate the safety of the vaccine through the vaccination of approximately 20 healthy individuals. To date, we have had very limited success in raising funds, and if we are unable to raise this amount, we will most likely cease all activity related to our vaccine development and marketing. Functions of a Vaccine. ---------------------- A vaccine is part of a process that stimulates the body to mount an immune response to a harmless version of a micro-organism, or part of a micro-organism, and from this to construct a type of immune memory which would allow the immune system to mount a rapid response when and if the body is invaded by a potent version of a micro-organism. This response, ideally, is sufficiently rapid so that the micro-organism is not able to replicate to any great extent before it is eliminated, and thus the individual vaccinated is protected from disease. The immune memory induced by vaccination is usually long-lived, and creates antibodies that neutralize invading micro-organisms, by binding to them and preventing them from infecting cells, and lymphocytes, which 3
recognize cells infected by micro-organisms (ones the antibodies did not destroy) and destroys them before other cells can be infected. A vaccine can also be therapeutic because it can stimulate both the humoral and cell mediated immunity over and above the existing immune status of a person and this is particularly important in patients who are HIV positive because it is clearly essential to initiate therapeutic strategy while there is residual functioning of immune competence in these individuals. This is presently unproven but a placebo controlled multicentre trial in the United States to look at the therapeutic value of the herpes vaccine developed by Dr. Skinner has shown that vaccination of patients who already had the infection modified the pattern of genital herpes resulting in reduction in the number and severity of recurrences. The HIV/AIDS Disease. -------------------- HIV/AIDS is a disease that has the effect of hindering the body's immune response system, allowing for opportunistic infections and diseases, such as tuberculosis, to overwhelm the body's immune response to disease. It does this by infecting and killing the T-lymphocytes of the immune system, which is consequently unable to deal with other infections, or proliferating cancer cells. There are two variants of the disease, known as HIV-1 and HIV-2, which share certain structural similarities, but differ greatly in certain types of proteins that produce the effects of AIDS. HIV-1 has a shorter time between infection and the onset of the symptoms of AIDS, and is more easily transmitted. Transmission can occur through sexual contact, maternal transmission to infants either in utero or through breastfeeding, or from receiving blood transfusion from, or sharing hypodermic needles with, infected persons. The HIV-1 virus particle has an outer envelope, which is studded with projections of clusters of glycoprotein molecules, surrounding a dense conical core containing the genomic material. Once received into the bloodstream (by any of the means described above, for example), the virus essentially "docks" with a lymphocyte cell and injects its viral core into the cell. The virus, in effect, hijacks the cell's metabolism, using it to replicate itself so that thousands of new particles are released into the bloodstream, and the cell dies. These particles go on to infect other cells, in a kind of chain reaction. Cells can also be infected by contact with infected cells, owing to certain proteins transmitted by contact. Some virus particles can become trapped in the lymph nodes, where they can remain for long periods and infect other cells. Eventually, so many lymphocyte cells are infected and destroyed that the body's immune system collapses. The HIV-1 virus is variable, in that there are two known strains, and numerous subtypes (10 of which have been identified to date), each of which is believed to have developed in a certain part of the world. Each of these subtypes is generally associated with a certain type of transmission, such as drug abuse, or sexual transmission. The subtypes differ by slight variations in the glycoproteins, which mean that any effective vaccine will have to deal with all of these variations. It is estimated by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) (a division of the US Department of Health and Human Services), in its July 2004 Report on HIV/AIDS Statistics that, as of December 2003, more than 20 million people had died since the beginning of the epidemic and that 37.8 million people were living with HIV/AIDS. In addition, the NIAID estimated that in sub-Saharan Africa alone, 25 million people were infected with the HIV virus. It is estimated that between 850,000 and 950,000 US residents are infected with the HIV/AIDS virus. Due to all of these factors, HIV-1 has been the principal focus of vaccine development and drug treatment. Governmental Regulation of Vaccines. ----------------------------------- Our proposed vaccine is subject to regulation by all countries. In the United States, the vaccine is regulated by the federal government, principally through the Food and Drug Administration under various federal laws. Regulations promulgated by various federal, state and local governments govern or influence the testing, manufacture, safety and efficacy requirements, labeling, storage, record keeping, licensing, advertising, promotion, distribution and export of our products. In general, similar regulations are found in all countries throughout the world, though we may have to demonstrate different levels of efficacy, depending on the regulatory requirements in each nation. 4
Before we can market our proposed vaccine in the United States, since it is a biological drug product, we must take numerous steps, which include: - pre-clinical laboratory and animal testing, to evaluate product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as the potential safety, purity and potency of the proposed vaccine; - submission to the FDA of an Investigational New Drug Application, which includes the results of the pre-clinical laboratory and animal testing, and which must become effective before clinical trials may commence; - the conduct of well-controlled clinical trials, conducted in accordance with FDA protocols (including review by an institutional review board) to adequately establish the safety, potency and purity of the biological drug product (i.e., our proposed vaccine), and trials to characterize how it behaves in the human body; - submission to the FDA of a biologics license application, and the FDA review of same; - completion of an FDA pre-approval inspection of the manufacturing facilities; and - FDA approval of the license application and all product labeling. In addition to these steps, we are required to meet with the FDA and its Vaccines and Related Biological Product Advisory Committee, which is composed of outside experts who assist the FDA in product reviews, and provide advice on various issues; in the case of our proposed vaccine, the advice would typically relate to the clinical development program and clinical study designs for our proposed vaccine. The recommendations of these committees are not binding upon the FDA, but are commonly followed by the FDA. The FDA has broad authority to suspend clinical trials, and all of the FDA's concerns must be resolved before trials may recommence. In general, the key element in the process is a demonstration by us that our proposed vaccine has meaningful efficacy at a statistically significant level, which means there must be an observed reduction in the incidence of HIV in the group receiving our proposed vaccine, compared to the control group. As noted above, the level of efficacy that we must demonstrate may vary from country to country, depending on the prevailing regulations. Our initial testing is planned to be performed in Russia and Zambia; there is no guarantee that the FDA will accept the results of tests completed in these other countries. If the FDA does not, this could cause substantial delays, by essentially requiring similar tests in the United States in order to satisfy FDA requirements. It is also possible that a regulatory agency, in reviewing our proposed vaccine's efficacy, might only approve the proposed vaccine for certain high risk populations, thus limiting the market for our proposed vaccine by limiting the customer base. Even after approval of the proposed vaccine for use, the manufacture of our proposed vaccine would be subject to a variety of laws relating to such matters as safe working conditions, manufacturing practices, environmental protections, fire hazard control and hazardous substance disposal, which could incur substantial costs that we cannot predict at this time. Our proposed vaccine's license would be subject to continual review, and newly discovered or developed safety or efficacy data could result in revocation of relevant licenses. Our Proposed Vaccine. -------------------- General. Our proposed vaccine is designed to perform two functions. The first function, which is typical of traditional vaccines, is to develop an immune response in the vaccinated person in order to prevent HIV from infecting the human body. The second is to provide therapeutic benefits, like those described above, to people who are already infected by HIV. 5
Process of Manufacture. Our proposed vaccine is manufactured by treating HIV-1 infected lymphocyctic cells with detergent, formaldehyde and acetone treatments. What are called envelope proteins, [that is, the outer shell of these cells] are then stripped from the newly formed viruses [within these infected cells], virus proteins are collected, and the remaining virus particulates are discarded. The virus proteins are then mixed with proteins [from other, healthy cells]. This process ensures that the proposed vaccine is inactivated (that is, the virus is not infective), but that it also contains the vital HIV-1 glycoproteins, core proteins, regulatory and intermediate proteins needed to produce the desired effects of the desired immunity and/or therapeutic effects. Importantly, the method of manufacture allows us to customize a proposed vaccine to a specific strain, including strains that may evolve over the next few years. We intend to rely on third parties to manufacture our proposed vaccine, as we do not have the facilities for the large scale manufacture of the proposed vaccine. The quality control will be carried out according to guidelines recommended by the Medicines Control Agency in the UK which includes tests on the antigenicity and immunogenicity of the preparation and safety testing in animals. The proposed vaccine is currently produced at the Russian Federal AIDS Center. Although the Russian Federal AIDS Center is the only group currently producing the proposed vaccine, we are not completely dependent upon this group due to the fact that we feel that our proposed vaccine can be produced elsewhere for nominal set-up costs. We believe that our proposed vaccine differs from other vaccines currently in development, in that it contains a wide spectrum of virus proteins in their natural configuration with cell proteins, but does not contain virus particles. By using this intracellular, multi-component approach, we include all possible protective antigens and possible cross strain protective antigens. The importance of this is that presentation of virus antigens in association with cell proteins may preserve the immunogenicity of virus antigens and improve their protective potential. The manufacturing process allows slotting in of any virus strain including new wild type virus strain or recombinant virus strain to the preparative process. This will exclude a prolonged dead time which would be inevitable in preparation of vaccines by more molecular methods to accommodate new virus strains. This approach has been successfully used for many years to manufacture the influenza vaccine where different strains may be involved in different years. Trials. Before any vaccine can be introduced into humans, it must be rigorously tested under scientific conditions, in order to prove its effectiveness and safety. This must be done before a country will allow a vaccine to be sold and used. Our proposed vaccine was first tested for safety, antigenicity and immunogenicity at four different centers in the U.K., these being: the Centre for Applied Microbiological Research in Porton Down, Wiltshire; the Medical Research Council Mill Hill Laboratories, London; St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London; and the Department of Infection of the University of Birmingham. Vaccines then go through a three-stage trial process. Phase I tests for safety and dosage in small groups of subjects. Phase II comprises larger scale safety testing and, in the case of vaccines, whether they elicit an immune response. Phase III comprises large scale, placebo controlled, double-blind tests for efficacy of the preparation in subjects at high risk of infection. As a standard industry practice, Phases I and II are often combined, or run concurrently in the testing of vaccines, so that the first stage of tests becomes a "Phase I/II trial." We have completed pre-clinical trials in Russia, in conjunction with The Russia Federal Aids Center, a department of The Central Institute of Epidemiology, Moscow, Russia. 6
We intend, subject to financing, to implement a PhaseI/II trial with the Medical Control Agency in The United Kingdom through the application for a CTX exemption to commence a Phase I/II trial as soon as funding becomes available. We plan to apply for a CTX exemption using the Clade B strain of the virus as soon as funding and vaccine using the local Clade B strain is made available. The manufacture of the vaccine will be contracted out and we are currently evaluating various different manufacturers in Russia, Europe and the United States. The trials in the United Kingdom would involve three volunteer groups, running concurrently: a reactogenicity, safety and specific activity trial in a limited group of healthy volunteers; an evaluation of clinical effect and safety in a limited group of HIV-infected volunteers; and reactogenicity, safety and specific activity trial in a limited group of volunteers who have a concurrent illness or disease, but who are not in serious ill health. There is a specific process, involving various entry criteria, used to screen volunteers and determine their suitability for participation in the study. When the pool of appropriate volunteers is complete, ten volunteers in each group will receive four immunizations each of the proposed vaccine, at 30-day intervals, and each volunteer will be followed up for a period of one year, with monitoring for safety and immunological responses. Procedures exist for allowing volunteers to voluntarily withdraw from the trail process, or withdraw mandatorily, if there is a serious adverse effect. Subjects will be replaced until twenty subjects have completed the trial. We also intend, subject to financing, to institute studies of the efficacy of the vaccine in non-human primates in parallel or preceding Phase I trials of the vaccine in human subjects in Moscow, Russia as soon as funding becomes available. The vaccine for this study will be manufactured in Russia, under the supervision and quality control of various parties within and without Russia, including the Russia Federal AIDS Centre in Moscow and laboratories in Birmingham and London, U.K. We expect the regulatory approval process to take up to six months to complete. We also anticipate, subject to financing, to initiating a Phase I/II trial in Sub-Sahara Africa using the local African HIV sub-type as soon as funding becomes available. These trials will be done in conjunction with local Government and would commence after a satisfactory pre-clinical trial has completed the evaluation of toxicity and immunogenicity of the local strain. However, we cannot initiate the pre-clinical or Phase I/II trials until such time as we have raised at least an additional $3 million, which is the amount we anticipate we will need for these African trials. Furthermore, in addition to restrictions due to lack of funding, we also need to manufacture a batch of the vaccine to initiate these trials. We cannot manufacture a batch until we have an agreement in place with a country in Africa that is prepared to work with us. It is estimated that these pre-clinical trials would take approximately twelve months to complete from the time we have an agreement in place. If these trials take place, we intend to invite the Division of AIDS of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to monitor the African trials. No trials are currently scheduled to take place in the United States. However, it is our intention to invite the National Institute of Health (NIH) through the offices of The Division of AIDS (DIADS) to assist in the planning and execution of the trials and monitor the trials described above. If the trials are successful, then we would hope to undertake a Phase I/II trial in the United States, within two years of successfully completing trials in the UK. There can be no assurance that we will be able to undertake such a trial in the United States, nor can the results of the trials in Russia and/or Africa and the UK be predicted. Ultimate Market. The proposed vaccine is directed at the prominent strain found in Russia, certain parts of Europe and the Americas, while the proposed vaccine we anticipate preparing for Africa would be directed at the strain prevalent in southern Africa and in India. The ability to custom-manufacture different proposed vaccines for different strains (see the caption above: Process of Manufacture) will enhance our ability to address the worldwide market, by allowing us to design proposed vaccines targeting different strains of the HIV virus present in different areas of the world. Marketing. We intend to rely on third parties for the sales and marketing of our proposed vaccine. To date, we have not entered into any marketing agreements. We intend to enter into agreements for the marketing and distribution of our proposed vaccine with partners, once we have established the effectiveness of the proposed vaccine. Competition. We estimate that approximately 30 other companies have been engaged in research to produce an HIV vaccine. To our knowledge, most of these efforts have not produced a viable vaccine. AIDSVAX, a product produced by Vaxgen Inc, completed a phase 3 trial in both the United States and Thialand during 2003, where results showed that the candidate vaccines were ineffective. ALVAC, a vaccine produced by Adventis began a trial in Thialand in the Fall of 2003 and Merck commenced testing of its adenovirus based candiate in 2005. Non of these vaccines have proven to be effective. We believe there are other vaccines that are likely to commence Phase I/II trials during the next two years. 7
To our knowledge, our proposed vaccine is the only intracellular multi-component vaccine in development. It also differs from other vaccines presently in clinical trial, in that it contains a wide representation of virus proteins in their natural configuration, but does not contain virus particles. In addition, our proposed vaccine can be easily adapted to different virus strains. It is our belief that these factors give our proposed vaccine more potential for protection, therapy, and safety. Patent Protection. Under our assignment of license agreement with Intracell Vaccines Limited, we held exclusive rights to patents owned by the University of Birmingham. For a description of our obligations to the University of Birmingham under our assignment agreement see the caption below License Agreement and Consulting Agreement. These patents describe a method of manufacture of a HIV vaccine owned by the University of Birmingham (see the caption above: Process of Manufacture). We have exclusive rights to use the patents which are protected in Australia, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, France and Great Britain. Patents are pending in Canada and Japan. In addition, we had the right to use two United States patents owned by the University of Birmingham. The United States patents relate to a method of manufacture of a herpes vaccine. We believe that the United States patents cover all similar methods of manufacture related to the proposed HIV vaccine and will provide reasonable assistance in enforcing these patents. Because these patents cover the method of manufacture, we believe that the patents cover all strains of the HIV virus. The patents expire in 2011.The University of Birmingham also holds patent rights for a herpes vaccine in numerous other countries. It is our belief, based on the method of manufacture, that these patents would afford us some protection in certain other countries, including South Africa, South Korea, Israel, Ireland, and Austria. These patents expire prior to 2011. We cancelled our license agreement with the University of Birmingham in 2007, as we did not believe that we would be able to commercialize the vaccine prior to the expiration of the patents in 2011. We plan to continue research and development of the vaccine, and believe that it might be possible to establish new patents, depending on the progress and results of our research. License Agreement and Consulting Agreement. ------------------------------------------ We entered into a license assignment agreement with Intracell Vaccines Limited, by agreement dated April 6, 1999. We agreed to assume all of Intracell Vaccine's obligations under its license agreement with the University of Birmingham, and issued them 57,529 shares of our common stock, and 10,000 shares of preferred stock. We also agreed to finance the development of the proposed vaccine, and entered into an anti-dilution agreement with Intracell Vaccines, so that Intracell Vaccines and its shareholders would maintain a 60% interest in our common shares (after allowing for options), up until the time we raise $5 million [in financing]. The shareholders of Intracell Vaccines also received stock options under the license assignment agreement as follows: 1. Options for 100,000 (post reverse split) shares (exercisable at $[.001] per share)when initial human trials of the proposed vaccine begin. 2. Options for 100,000 (post reverse split) shares (exercisable at $[.001] per share) when a phase III human trial begins. 3. Options for 100,000 (post reverse split) shares (exercisable at $[.001] per share) when the proposed vaccine receives product license by a recognized government. 8
We failed to attract financing as agreed under our agreement with Intracell Vaccine Ltd, and on August 7, 2001 the Company entered into an agreement with Intracell, whereby Intracell agreed to waive its right to terminate the assignment of license agreement provided that the Company issue an additional 3,000,000 of its common shares to Intracell and 7,500,000 options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company. Such options shall vest in blocks of 2,500,000 upon the occurrence of certain events as follows: 1. 2,500,000 options, each option to convert to common shares at an exercise price of $0.50 (fifty cents) per share when the company commences a phase I/II trial. 2. 2,500,000 options, each option to convert to common shares at an exercise price of $1.00 (one dollars) per share when the company commences a phase III trial. 3. 2,500,000 options, each option to convert to common shares at an exercise price of $2.00 (one dollars) per share when the company receives product license from a recognized government. The license agreement with the University of Birmingham that we acquired by assignment from Intracell Vaccines Limited provides for the payment of a minimum royalty to the University of Birmingham of approximately $75,000, commencing on January 1, 2002. Royalties are paid as follows: 1. 5% of net sales in all countries where patent protection is provided; 2. 3% of net sales in all countries where there is no patent protection; 3. 3% of net sales for all countries for a period of 10 years after the first commercial sale in each country, which no royalty being payable thereafter. In addition, we, as the licensee, are responsible under the license agreement for carrying out all clinical trials of the proposed vaccine that may be required for patent and licensing purposes. We are also responsible for the maintenance of the patents. In the event we, or the University of Birmingham, make improvements to the patents, this will result in the extension of the royalty obligations for the life of the new patent. The agreement can be terminated if we fail to make the royalty payments within 60 days after notice, or if we have a receiver appointed for all or any part of our assets. We are currently in arrears on the payment of license fees due under our license agreement with The University of Birmingham. Under the license agreement, in addition to the above payments, we were required to pay a minimum license fee of approximately $70,000 on January 1, 2002. We have not made this payment. We are also required to pay and additional $70,000 to The University of Birmingham for each of the years beginning January 1, 2003 and annually thereafter. We currently owe the University of Birmingham $271,350. We have not been able to make these payments. Upon sixty days notice, The University of Birmingham could terminate our license agreement due to our failure to pay the license fees. 9
We also entered into a consulting agreement with Intracell Vaccines pursuant to which Intracell Vaccines has agreed to provide us with research, process science, clinical and regulatory support, primarily by making the services of certain Intracell Vaccines personnel available to us. We reimburse Intracell Vaccines for all of its costs and expenses relating to the provision of these services. During the year ended September 30, 2004, we paid Intracell Vaccines a fee of $20,000 per quarter. We currently owe Intracell Vaccines $442,406 in outstanding consulting fees. Either party may terminate the consulting agreement upon a breach which continues uncured for more than 60 days, or upon the occurrence of bankruptcy or similar events. The Intracell Vaccine consulting agreement was re-negotiated on October 01, 2004, where Intracell agreed to reduce its quarterly fee to $5,000 per quarter until the company receives sufficient funding to continue its research. The Intracell Vaccine agreement will be re-negotiated when funding becomes available. Due to our failure to make timely payments under either the license agreement or consulting agreement, both of these agreements may be terminated at any time upon receipt of sixty days notice. Although we have not yet received notice from either The University of Birmingham or Intracell Vaccines, there can be no assurance that either of these parties will not choose to terminate these agreements at any time. Item 1A. Risk Factors Not applicable to a smaller reporting company. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments Not applicable. Item 2. Properties. Our administration offices are located in Collingwood, Ontario. The office is provided to us as part of our consulting agreement with Intracell Vaccines Limited. We lease approximately 400 square feet of laboratory space in Moseley, Birmingham, United Kingdom under a lease agreement that is month to month. The laboratory space in Moseley is used for storage and limited research development of our proposed vaccine. We do not engage in any aspects of the real estate business. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. We are not a party or subject to any legal proceedings the outcome of which management believes would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Item 4. (Removed and Reserved). 10
PART II Item 5. Market For Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters. a) Market Information. Our common shares trade under the symbol "HIVV" in July 2001. Our common shares ceased trading on the OTCBB on February 19, 2004, because we were unable to maintain our full reporting status requirements for financial reasons. We continued trading on the Pink Sheets since February 20, 2004 under the symbol HIVV, until January 2011, when our symbol was changed to GRPI. We are unable to retrieve historical data on the trading price of our common stock between 2004 and 2010, but believe that the stock traded in the range of $0.01 and $0.35. b) Holders. As of September 30, 2005, there were 294 holders of record based on the records of our transfer agent. This number does not include beneficial owners of our common shares, of which we believe there are a substantial number whose shares are held in the names of various securities brokers, dealers and registered clearing agencies. c) Dividends. We have never paid dividends on our common shares and do not intend to pay dividends on our common shares in the foreseeable future. Our board of directors intends to retain any future earnings to provide funds for the operation and expansion of our business. Any decision as to the future payments of dividends will depend on our results of operations and financial position and such other factors as our board of directors, in its discretion, deems relevant. d) Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans. No securities are authorized for issuance by the Company under equity compensation plans. e) Performance graph. Not applicable. f) Recent sales of Unregistered Securities. On November 3, 2003, we issued 425,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share as compensation for legal and consulting services rendered to the company. These shares were issued in reliance upon an exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act. On September 30, 2005 the Company cancelled 1,016 Common Shares and 700,000 Preferred Shares that werte held as treasury stock. Item 5(b) Use of Proceeds. Not applicable. Item 5(c) Purchases of Equity Securities by the issuer and affiliated purchasers. Not applicable Item 6. Selected Financial Data Not applicable to a smaller reporting company. Item 7. Management's Discussion And Analysis Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The following discussion regarding us and our business and operations contains forward-looking statements. Such statements consist of any statement other than a recitation of historical fact, and can be identified by the use of such forward-looking terminology such as "may," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate" or "continue" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon, or comparable terminology. The reader is cautioned that all forward-looking statements are necessarily speculative, and there are certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those referred to in such forward-looking statements. 11
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The following accounting policies are considered critical by our management. Use of estimates: These and other accounting policies require that estimates be made based on assumptions and judgment, which affect revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingencies in our financial statements. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from these estimates under different and/or future circumstances. Impairment of long-lived assets: The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 144"). Under SFAS 144, impairment losses on long-lived assets are recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by such assets are less than their carrying value and, accordingly, all or a portion of such carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are then measured by comparing the fair value of assets to their carrying amounts. Net earnings (loss) per share: The Company presents "basic" earnings (loss) per share and, if applicable, "diluted" earnings per share pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share". Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to that of basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, such as those issuable upon the exercise of stock options, were issued during the period. Foreign currency translation and transactions: British assets and liabilities are translated at current exchanges rates and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during each period. Resulting translation adjustments, if material, would be recorded as a separate component of stockholders' deficiency. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses, which have not been material, are included in results of operations as incurred. Stock-Based Compensation We record stock based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires that the cost resulting from all share-based transactions be recorded in the financial statements and establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. The Statement also establishes fair value as the measurement objective for transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services from non-employees in share-based payment transactions. Recent Pronouncements We have determined that all recently issued accounting standards will not have a material impact on our financial statements, or do not apply to our operations. Our Plan of Operation We were incorporated in January of 1997, and do not have any significant operating history or financial results. We have limited vaccine development and marketing operations, including the pre-clinical testing in Russia of our proposed vaccine designed to combat HIV/AIDS, building an infrastructure and updating our research. As a result, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 and the period from January 10, 1997 (date of inception) to 2005 we incurred approximately $28,665, and $1,732,952 in research and development costs and $18,622 and $736,427 in general and administrative expenses, respectively. We incurred a net loss of approximately $157,621 or $(.02) per share based on 9,831,668 weighted average shares outstanding for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 compared to approximately $7,300,685 or $(1.20) per share based on 6,086,789 weighted average shares outstanding for the period from January 10, 1997 (date of inception) to September 30, 2005. 12
We did not conduct any operations of a commercial nature during the period from January 10, 1997 (date of inception) to September 30, 2005. Through September 30, 2005 we have relied on advances of approximately $535,044 from our principal stockholders, trade payables of approximately $350,223, proceeds of $1,196,272 from the sale of common stock and the issue of stock for fees and/or services in the amount of $4,684,900 to support our limited operations. As of September 30, 2005, we had approximately $906 of cash and cash equivalents. We seek additional equity or debt financing of up to $9 million which we plan to use for HIV-VAC and to continue implementing pre-clinical and Phase I/II testing of our proposed vaccine. If we do not get sufficient financing, we will not be able to continue as a going concern and we may have to terminate our operations and liquidate our business (see Note 1 to financial statements). Our business plan for the next year, dependent on raising sufficient funding to implement implementing a Phase I/II trial in the United Kingdom through the application for a CTX exemption with the Medical Control agency. We plan to apply for a CTX exemption using the Clade B strain of the virus. The manufacture of the vaccine will be contracted out to a manufacturer located in either the UK or the USA. We also plan, subject to financing, to initiate further trials in Russia, in conjunction with The Russia Federal Aids Center, a department of The Central Institute of Epidemiology, Moscow, Russia. using in non-human primates in parallel or preceding Phase I trials. We expect the regulatory approval process to take up to twelve months to complete. The proposed primate vaccine will be manufactured in Russia or the UK, under the supervision and quality control of various parties, including independent laboratories in London and our laboratory in Birmingham and London, U.K. In addition, we anticipate, subject to financing set forth above, to initiate a Phase I/II trial in Sub-Sahara Africa using the local African HIV sub-type. These trials will be done in conjunction with local Government and would commence after a satisfactory pre-clinical trial has completed the evaluation of toxicity and immunogenicity of the local strain. However, we cannot initiate the pre-clinical or Phase I/II trials until such time as we have raised at least $7 million, which is the amount we anticipate we will need for these trials. Furthermore, in addition to restrictions due to lack of funding, we also need to manufacture a batch of the vaccine to initiate these trials. We cannot manufacture a batch until we have an agreement in place with a country in Africa that is prepared to work with us. It is estimated that these pre-clinical trials would take approximately twelve months to complete once we have an agreement in place. If these trials take place, we intend to invite the Division of AIDS of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to monitor the African trials. No trials are currently scheduled to take place in the United States. However, it is our intention to invite the National Institute of Health (NIH) through the offices of The Division of AIDS (DIADS) to assist in the planning and execution of the trials and monitor the trials described above. There can be no assurance that the results of the trials in Russia and/or Africa and the UK can be predicted to be positive. We estimate that we will require approximately $7 million to conduct our vaccine development activities through to a phase I trial.. This amount would be used to pay for vaccine manufacture, vaccine trial costs and testing, equipment and corporate overhead. We are hoping to raise a minimum of $6 million through one or more private offerings pursuant to Rule 506 or Regulation D or through an offshore offering pursuant to Regulation S; however, nothing in this annual report shall constitute an offer of any securities for sale. Such shares when sold will not have been registered under the Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. To date, we have had very limited success in raising funds, and if we are unable to raise this amount, we will most likely cease all activity related to our vaccine development and marketing. We have to date relied on a small number of investors to provide us with financing for the commencement of our development program, including Intracell Vaccines Limited. Amounts owed to these individuals are payable upon demand. 13
If we proceeded with our vaccine development, we would need to purchase approximately $500,000 in equipment to be used for research and expanding testing laboratories. In addition, we would expect to hire an additional fifteen employees for both research and administrative support over the duration of the trials. We are anticipating that the sources of funds for the intended clinical trials will be the proceeds that we receive from the conversion of the Series B preferred stock, and possible assistance from Intracell in the form of a loan. In addition we are looking at other financing methods including finding joint venture partners who might provide substantial funding to the project or the granting of sub-licenses on payment of upfront fees and the payment of on-going royalties on sales. The Company is not currently negotiating with any potential joint venture partners and there can be no assurance that the Company will enter into any joint venture agreements. We are also looking at obtaining government or charitable grants to assist us in our funding. We are also considering the acquisition of other technologies that might make financing the Company more viable. Item 8. Financial Statements. HIV-VAC, INC.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Stockholders of HIV-VAC, Inc. We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of HIV-VAC, Inc. (the "Company") as at September 30, 2005 and 2004, and the statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2005, and cumulative from inception (January 10, 1997) through to September 30, 2005, except as explained as follows: we did not audit the cumulative date from January 10, 1997 to September 30, 2001. The cumulative data was audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts in the cumulative data through September 30, 2001, is based solely on the report of other auditors. The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of HIV-VAC, Inc. as at September 30, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. /s/ SF Partnership, LLP Toronto, Canada CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS July 6, 2011 F-1

HIV-VAC, INC. (A Development Stage Company) Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2005 and 2004 1. Operations HIV-VAC, Inc. (the "Company"), formerly known as Personna Records, Inc., was incorporated on January 10, 1997 in the State of Nevada. Personna Records formerly known as Sonic Records, Inc. was engaged in the production and distribution of musical records. In April 1998, Personna became the surviving corporation after a merger with Nouveaux Corporation. In March 2000, HIV-VAC, Inc. became the surviving corporation after a merger with Life Plan. The Company is currently engaged in the research and development of a vaccine to combat the Human Immunodeficiency Virus ("HIV"). The Company will operate under the exclusive worldwide license of Intracell Vaccines Limited ("Intracell"), in the development and distribution of the vaccine. The Company's headquarters are located in Ontario, Canada and the research facility is located in Birmingham, United Kingdom. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The Company's financial statements have been prepared following generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), which are expressed in United States funds. a) Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates relate to the estimated useful lives of furniture and equipment and the valuation and useful life of the intangible asset. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period which they become available. F-12
HIV-VAC, INC. (A Development Stage Company) Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2005 and 2004 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd) b) Furniture and Equipment Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed when incurred. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Useful lives for furniture and equipment are as follows: Office equipment 15% Declining balance Furniture 10% Declining balance The cost and accumulated depreciation for furniture and equipment sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of are relieved from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are reflected in income. The Company changed the estimated useful life of their furniture and equipment during 2005. The office equipment was amortized straight line over 5 years, whereas, the furniture was amortized straight line over 7 years in prior years. These changes in estimate were applied on a prospective basis, reducing annual amortization expense recorded in the statement of operations. c) Intangible Asset Intangible asset consists of a licensing right. The licensing right is being amortized over the remaining estimated useful life of 12 years commencing April 1999 using the straight line method. d) Long-lived Assets The Company reviews its long lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. e) Financial Instruments All the Company's financial instruments are initially recorded at their fair value. The Company classifies all financial instruments as held-for-trading or other financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. Instruments classified as held for trading are measured at fair value. The Company has designated its cash as held for trading. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and advances from related parties are classified as other liabilities. F-13
HIV-VAC, INC. (A Development Stage Company) Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2005 and 2004 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd) f) Income Tax Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of the asset and liabilities that will result in taxable deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are to be realized. Income tax expense is recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period increased or decreased by the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period. g) Translation of Foreign Currency The activity of the Company's foreign offices are translated in accordance with ASC Topic 830, "Foreign Currency Matters", which requires that foreign currency assets and liabilities be translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the year. Unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency translations are included in other comprehensive income for the period. h) Loss Per Share Basic loss per share, which does not include any dilutive securities, is computed by dividing the loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. In contrast, diluted loss per share considers the potential dilution that could occur from other financial instruments that would increase the total number of outstanding shares of common stock. Potentially dilutive securities, however, have not been included in the diluted loss per share computation because their effect is anti-dilutive. i) Comprehensive loss The Company accounts for comprehensive loss in accordance with ASC Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive loss and its components. Comprehensive loss is presented in the statements of shareholders' equity (deficit), and consists of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustment. j) Stock Based Compensation The Company enters into transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments. The value of these transactions are measured and accounted for, based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued or the value of the goods or services received, whichever is more reliably measurable. The services are expensed in the periods that the services are rendered. F-14
HIV-VAC, INC. (A Development Stage Company) Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2005 and 2004 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd) k) Segment Reporting ASC Topic 280 "Segment Reporting" establishes standards for the manner in which public enterprises report segment information about operating segments. The Company has determined that its operations primarily involve one reportable segment. l) Recent Accounting Pronouncements Many recent accounting pronouncements have been issued since 2004. The Company has determined that the applicable accounting pronouncements will not have a material affect on the financial statements. 3.

Item 9. Changes In And Disagreements With Accountants On Accounting And Financial Disclosure. None Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2005. These controls are meant to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The registrant has been delinquent in its SEC filing. Management has only recently prepared the required reports for filing. Management intends to implement internal controls to ensure that similar situations do not occur in the future and that required SEC filings will be timely. Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting: Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is the process designed by and under the supervision of Kevin Murray, chairman of the board, who was chief executive officer and chief financial officer, or the persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Mr. Murray has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies. The chief financial officer and chief executive officer has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2003, and concluded that it is not effective for the reasons discussed above. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the registrant's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the registrant's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the registrant to provide only management's report in this annual report. Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting: Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have evaluated changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period ended September 30, 2005. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer did not identify any change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Important Considerations: The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.
