NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at March 31, 2013, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2012 audited financial statements.  The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recognized sales revenue of $-0- and incurred a net loss of $768,751. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $9,480,287. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company's planned business. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow risks or market-risks that may affect the fair values of its financial instruments. The Company utilizes various types of financing to fund our business needs, including preferred stock with warrants attached and other instruments not indexed to our stock. The Company is required to record its derivative instruments at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings in accordance with ASC 815.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments 
In accordance with ASC 820, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.  ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
 
5

 
 
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. 
 
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of March 31, 2013, on a recurring basis:

Description
 
Level 1
   
Level 2
   
Level 3
   
Gains (Losses)
 
Derivative Liability
  $ -     $ -     $ (5,623,914 )   $ (63,348 )
Total
  $ -     $ -     $ (5,623,914 )   $ (63,348 )

The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of December 31, 2012, on a recurring basis:

Description
 
Level 1
   
Level 2
   
Level 3
   
Gains (Losses)
 
Derivative Liability
  $ -     $ -     $ (5,687,262 )   $ (309,954 )
Total
  $ -     $ -     $ (5,687,262 )   $ (309,954 )

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a description of the valuation methodology used to measure fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
 
Derivative Liability:     Market prices are not available for the Company's warrants nor are market prices of similar warrants available. The Company assessed that the fair value of this liability approximates its carrying value since carrying value has been adjusted to fair value.
 
The method described above may produce a current fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. If a readily determined market value became available or if actual performance were to vary appreciably from assumptions used, assumptions may need to be adjusted, which could result in material differences from the recorded carrying amounts. The Company believes its method of determining fair value is appropriate and consistent with other market participants. However, the use of different methodologies or different assumptions to value certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value.

The following tables present the fair value of financial instruments as of March 31, 2013, by caption on the condensed balance sheet and by ASC 820 valuation hierarchy described above.

NOTE 5 – ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Pursuant to the applicable Codification literature, the Company has concluded it is probable that it will pay $85,738 in liquidated damages pursuant to the registration rights clause in certain of the securities sold in fiscal years 2008 and 2009, the Company was required to file a registration statement by January 27, 2009. The Company failed to do so until April 7, 2009, resulting in liquidated damages of 2% per month of the gross proceeds, which approximated $1.8 million as of that date. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s registration statement covering the securities was declared effective by the SEC. Each holder is entitled to $47.32 per share owned. The Company has resolved to pay the liquidated damages in shares of Common Stock valued at $1.00 per share, pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

NOTE 6 – NOTE PAYABLE

In January 2012, the Company received cash pursuant to a short-term promissory note with a related party. The Cash was repaid in full in February 2012. The note did not bear interest.

On September 27, 2012, the Company received $55,075 in cash pursuant to a short-term promissory note with a related party. The note does not bear interest and is due on demand. In December 2012, the balance on the note was repaid in full.

In January 2013, the Company received $25,000 in cash pursuant to a short-term promissory note with a related party. In March 2013 the Company received $5,000 in cash pursuant to a short-term promissory note with the same related party. The note did not bear interest.  The Company assessed the imputed interest and found the balance to be immaterial. As of March 31, 2013, the full balance on the note remained outstanding.
 
NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company’s only asset or liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis is its derivative liability associated with its Series A Preferred Stock and associated warrants to purchase common stock. On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic No. 815-40 which defines determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is solely indexed to an entity’s own stock. As of January 1, 2009, the Company had issued 3,572,714 warrants which have exercise prices that are subject to “reset” provisions in the event the Company subsequently issues common stock, stock warrants, stock options or convertible debt with a stock price, exercise price or conversion price lower than $0.85 and $1.27, respectively. If these provisions are triggered, the exercise price of all of those warrants will be reduced.  As a result, the warrants are not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and are not afforded equity treatment.

As a result, on January 1, 2009, 3,572,714 of the Company’s outstanding warrants containing exercise price reset provisions, originally classified as permanent equity, were reclassified to derivative liability. These warrants had exercise prices ranging from $0.85 - $1.27 and expire starting in December 2013. As of January 1, 2009, the fair value of these warrants of $1,676,633 was recognized and resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of $43,808. The change in fair value during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 of ($471,868) and ($245,087), respectively, is recorded as a derivative loss in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

The Company classifies the fair value of these warrants under level three of the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments. The fair value of the derivative liability was calculated using a lattice model that values the compound embedded derivatives based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. This model is based on future projections of the various potential outcomes. The embedded derivatives that were analyzed and incorporated into the model included the conversion feature with the full ratchet reset, and the redemption options.

The Series A Preferred Derivatives were valued using the following assumptions:

·
The Company was 3 months from being publicly traded and the Company/Holder would convert the Preferred Stock based on 200% of the adjusted conversion price;
   
·
The Preferred maturity date used was 7 years following the Company being publicly traded (rolling 6 years from the Valuation Date);
   
·
The stock price of $0.85 was used as the fair value of the common stock based on the previous common stock transaction;
   
·
The projected volatility curve was based on the average of 15 comparable biotech companies historical volatility:
   
·
The Holder would automatically convert at a stock price of $1.70 if the Company was not in default;
   
·
The Holder would convert on a quarterly basis in equal amounts to maturity if in the money; and
   
·
Capital raising events would occur annually, generating reset events based on pricing not greater than 100% of market.

The warrants were valued at issuance and marked to market quarterly for the period 2009 through December 2011. The five-year warrants are options to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share and $1.27, subject to adjustments. The following assumptions were used for the valuation of the derivative:

·
The stock price of $0.85 was used as the fair value of the common stock based on the previous common stock transaction;
   
·
The projected volatility curve was based on the average of comparable companies as provided in the Preferred assumptions above;
   
·
The Holder would exercise the warrant at maturity if the stock price was above the exercise price;
   
·
The Holder would exercise the warrant at target prices starting at $1.58 for the Investor Warrants and $1.40 for the Placement Agent Warrants, and lowering such target as the warrants approached maturity.
   
·
The Holder would automatically convert all of the shares at a stock price of $1.58 for the Investor Warrants and $1.40 for the Placement Agent Warrants;
   
·
The Holder would convert on a quarterly basis in amounts not to exceed the average quarters trading volume based on historical performance, assuming the volume would increase by 5% each quarter; and
   
·
Capital raising events would occur annually, generating reset events based on pricing not greater than 100% of market for the Placement Agent Warrants and for the Investor Warrants the reset would be 150% of the Preferred.
 
The Company determined the fair value of the preferred stock to be $3,496,569 and $3,182,380 and the fair value of the warrants to be $2,127,345 and $2,504,879 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Rank
The Preferred Stock ranks(i) senior to the common stock and any other class or series of the Company’s capital stock either specifically ranking by its terms junior to the Preferred Stock or not specifically ranking by its terms senior to or on parity with the Preferred Stock, (ii) on parity with any class or series of the Company’s capital stock specifically ranking by its terms on parity with the Preferred Stock, and (iii) junior to any class or series of capital stock specifically ranking by its terms senior to the Preferred Stock, in each case, as to payment of dividends or as to distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary.  The approval of the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock is required in order for the Company to issue any capital stock with rights on parity with or senior to the Preferred Stock.

Dividends
The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive annual cumulative per share dividends of 6.5% of the liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock, out of funds legally available, prior to any payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock or any other class of stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock.  Such dividends are payable in cash or shares of common stock, at the option of the Company, semiannually on the last business day of February and August of each year (each a “Dividend Payment Date”), commencing in February 2009 with respect to the period from issuance through such date.  The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to share ratably with the holders of the common stock in any dividend declared on the common stock.

 
9

 
 
Dividends on the Preferred Stock will accrue whether or not the Company has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends and whether or not such dividends are declared.  Dividends accumulate to the extent they are not paid on the Dividend Payment Date to which they relate.  Dividends that are due in cash and which are not paid within (5) business days of the Dividend Payment date shall bear interest until paid at the default rate.  According to Delaware law, the Company may declare and pay dividends or make other distributions on its capital stock only out of legally-available funds.  In addition, no dividends or distributions may be declared, paid or made if the Company is or would be rendered insolvent by virtue of such dividend or distribution. The Company may not (i) pay any dividends in respect of any shares of capital stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock (including the common stock), other than dividends payable in the form of additional shares of the same junior stock as that on which such dividend is declared, or (ii) redeem any shares of capital stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock (including the common stock), unless and until all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock have been, or contemporaneously are, declared and paid in full.

Conversion
At the election of the holder thereof, each share of Preferred Stock will be convertible into common stock, at any time after issuance, at the Conversion Rate, as it may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with the Certificate of Designation.  The Preferred Stock will not convert automatically into Common Stock upon completion of this offering and only the underlying Common Stock issuable upon conversion is registered for the resale under this prospectus.  The Conversion Rate initially will be 1,177 shares of common stock ($.85 per share) for each Share of Preferred Stock.  If the Company issues or sells any shares of its common stock (or options, warrants or convertible securities, convertible or exchangeable into shares of common stock) hereinafter, a “Subsequent common stock Issuance”), then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted so that the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of each share of preferred stock shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing $1,000 by the price per share of common stock (or the conversion price per share in the case of a sale of options, warrants or convertible securities) sold in such Subsequent common stock Issuance.
 
The Conversion Price is also subject to adjustment from time to time in the event of (i) the issuance of common stock as a dividend or distribution on any class of the Company’s capital stock; or (ii) the combination, subdivision or reclassification of the common stock.  No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion.  Payment of accumulated and unpaid dividends will be made upon conversion to the extent of legally-available funds. The shares of Preferred Stock may also be converted into common stock at the Conversion Rate at the Company’s option following the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, if the Company’s common stock trades above 200% of the Conversion Rate per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days.

Voting Rights
The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a class, shall be required to authorize, effect or validate (i) any change in the rights, privileges or preferences of the Preferred Stock that would adversely affect the Preferred Stock, or (ii) the authorization, creation, issuance or increase in the authorized or issued amount of any class or series of stock ranking on parity with or superior to the Preferred Stock with respect to the declaration and payment of dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our Company.  In addition, the holders of Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote, together with holders of common stock as single class, on all matters upon which the holders of common stock are entitled to vote pursuant to applicable Delaware law or the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.  The Preferred Stock shall vote on an “as converted basis” with each holder of Preferred Stock having one vote for each Conversion Share underlying such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock.

Liquidation
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company (whether capital or surplus), or the proceeds thereof, may be made or set apart for the holders common stock or any stock ranking junior to Preferred Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders, a liquidating distribution of $1,000 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.  If, upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company are insufficient to make the full payment of $1,000 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock and similar payments on any other class of stock ranking on a parity with the Preferred Stock upon liquidation, then the holders of Preferred Stock and such other shares will share ratably in any such distribution of the Company’s assets in proportion to the full respective distributable amounts to which they are entitled.  Certain events, including a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or sale or conveyance of all or substantially all the property and assets of the Company will be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company for purposes of the foregoing.

NOTE 11 – STOCK OPTIONS

The Company’s 2009 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) was adapted by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 9, 2009 in order to motivate participants by means of stock options and restricted stock to achieve the Company’s long-term performance goals and enable our employees, officers, directors and consultants to participate in our long term growth and financial success. The 2009 Plan, which is administered by our Board of Directors, authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 500,000 shares of our common stock, which may be authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares.  On February 13, 2013, the board of Directors authorized an amendment to the 2009 Plan to increase the number of authorized options and shares to 1,000,000 plus on a yearly basis by 10% of the amount of shares issued during the prior year, subject to shareholder approval. Employee options shall be deemed Incentive Stock Options (as defined in the 2009 Option Plan) to the maximum extent permitted by Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code including a five-year limit on exercise for 10% or greater stockholders with any excess grant to the above individuals over the limits set by Section 422 being Non-Qualified Stock Options as defined in the 2009 Option Plan. Both the Incentive Stock Options or any Non-Qualified Stock Options must be granted at an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of shares of common stock at the time the option is granted and Incentive Stock Options granted to 10% or greater stockholders must be granted at an exercise price of not less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant.

If any award under the 2009 Plan terminates, expires unexercised, or is cancelled, the shares of common stock that would otherwise have been issuable pursuant thereto will be available for issuance pursuant to the grant of new awards. The 2009 Plan will terminate on February 9, 2019. As of March 31, 2013 the following options had been granted under the plan:

Forward-Looking Statements
 
Statements contained in this Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this report that are not historical or current facts may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of such term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  These statements relate to future events or future predictions, including events or predictions relating to our future financial performance, and are generally identifiable by use of the words "may," "will," “forecast,” "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "feel," "confident," "estimate," "intend," "predict," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of such terms or other variations on these words or comparable terminology.  These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company's or its industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Important factors to consider and evaluate that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted in any such forward-looking statements include: (i) the general economy and changes in the external competitive market factors which might impact the Company's results of operations; (ii) unanticipated working capital or other cash requirements including those created by the failure of the Company to adequately anticipate the costs associated with clinical trials, manufacturing and other critical activities; (iii) changes in the Company's business strategy or an inability to execute its strategy due to unanticipated changes in the therapeutic drug industry; (iv) the inability or failure of the Company's management to devote sufficient time and energy to the Company's business; and (v) the failure of the Company to complete any or all of the transactions described herein on the terms currently contemplated.  In light of these risks and uncertainties, many of which are described in greater detail in the Risk Factors discussion contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this report will in fact transpire.

Material Changes in Financial Conditions

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $1,212,362 and $31,922, respectively, of cash on hand.  The Company’s working capital deficit decreased from ($7,411,687) at December 31, 2012 to a deficit of ($5,975,504), as of March 31, 2013.  Excluding the non-cash liability associated with the Company’s derivatives, the working capital deficit decreased from $1,724,425 as of December 31, 2012 to $351,590 as of March 31, 2013.  The decrease in the working capital deficit was primarily the result of the Company’s sale of $2,000,000 of Series C Preferred Stock in March 2013 and a decrease of outstanding accounts payable.   SignPath had a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $9,480,287, as of March 31, 2013.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2013 (“Fiscal 2013”), SignPath sold 2.000 Units (the “2013 Private Placement”) consisting of its securities at a price of $1,000 per Unit.  Each Unit consists of (i) one share of 6.5% Series C Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into 800 shares of common stock (equivalent to $1.25 per share of common stock) following the effective date of its Registration Statement (the “Effective Date”) subject to adjustment, and (ii) Warrants to purchase 400 shares of common stock at $1.875 per share for a seven-year period following the effective date of a registration statement including the underlying securities.  The Company received gross proceeds of $1,688,125 and incurred stock offering costs of $311,875 related to such offering.  
 
During the three month period ended March 31, 2012 (“Fiscal 2012”), the Company sold 1,448.5 Units of Series B Preferred Stock at $1,000 per share.  The Company received gross proceeds of $1,448,500 and incurred stock offering costs of $267,966 related to the Offerings.
 
The Company has no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any officer, director or shareholder as to any future financing, either equity or debt.  The Company expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and it is possible the Company may never reach profitability.  Therefore, the Company will require additional capital resources and financing to implement its business plan and continue its operations.  The Company’s current burn rate for salaries, research programs and professional fees averages about $65,000 per month.  Thus, it is expected that the Company currently does not have sufficient cash on hand to operate through the next 12 months.  Management believes it has enough funds to complete its pre-clinical trials.  If the Company receives favorable results, Management believes it will have the ability to raise additional funds to complete INDs.  In view of general market conditions, there can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, that any affiliate will provide additional investments in the Company or that adequate funds for our operations will otherwise be available when needed or on terms acceptable to us.
 
Cash used in operating activities during Fiscal 2013 was $537,682 compared to cash provided of $737,035 during the comparable period in 2012 (“Fiscal 2012”).  This resulted from a net loss of $768,751 in Fiscal 2013 offset by an increase of options issued for services of $575,694 and an increase in the fair value of the Company’s derivative liability of $471,868 in Fiscal 2013.  This compared to a loss of $338,255 during Fiscal 2012 offset by an increase in the fair value of the Company’s derivative liability of $245,087, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $261,571 and Common Stock and options issued for services of $575,674
 
 
21

 
 
The Series C Preferred Stock is junior to the Series A Preferred Stock on liquidation and pari passu with Series B Preferred Stock.
 
The Company had net cash provided by financing activities of $1,718,125 in Fiscal 2013 as a result of the $2,000,000 of gross proceeds received in 2013 Private Placement described above, reduced by $311,875 of offering costs.  During Fiscal 2012, the Company had $1,180,534 of net cash provided by financing activities as a result of the $1,448,500 received from the 2012 Private Placement of Preferred Stock less the stock offering costs of $267,966.
 
As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s cash increased by $1,180,440 during Fiscal 2013 from $31,922 to $1,212,362.
 
The financial statements included in this report have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles that contemplate our continuance as a going concern.  The Company has had no revenues and has generated losses from operation.  As set forth in Note 2 to the audited Financial Statements, the continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable, if ever.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Material Changes in Results of Operations
 
Three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared with three months ended March 31, 2012
 
The Company currently has no estimate on when they expect to receive revenues.  Total operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2013 (the “2012 Period”) increased to $832,099, as compared with $128,287 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 (the “2012 Period”) primarily as a result of an increase in professional fees of $605,777 as a result of stock and option issuance, resources, as well as a $70,464 increase in research and development expenses related to the continued manufacture and preclinical development of its lead curcumin.  Salaries and wages increased by $31,309, primarily as a result of an employee agreement in 2012, where the employee was to receive half of there salaries in a set number of stock valued on issuance date. In the current quarter the employee no longer received stock, instead received all salary as cash compensation.
 
Significant Research and Development fees paid in the 2013 Period included $46,313 to the University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center (“UTMDACC”) for non-clinical and mouse pre-clinical non-GLP studies of lipsomal curcumin.  Other research and development payments included $33,008 and $43,650 to Polymnun and Nucro Technology, respectively, for lab fees and other costs related to the Company’s research and development efforts as well as $13,630 in legal fees classified as Research and Development.
 
Significant Research and Development fees in the 2013 Period included $46,313 paid to University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center (“UTMDACC”) for non-clinical and mouse pre-clinical non-GLP studies of lipsomal curcumin.  Other major research and development expenses included payments to Polymnun, Nucro Technology, MD Anderson, Medizinche University and Regis Pharmaceuticals for $33,008, $43,650, $-0-, $188,564 and $40,007, respectively, for lab fees and other costs related to the Company’s research and development efforts.
 
The amount paid for research and development in the 2013 Period consisted of payments for overhead and patent fees for non-clinical studies and pre-clinical studies in the nanocurcumin compound and to produce polymer under the JHU Agreement for animal studies of nanocurcumin.  During the 2012 Period, the Company paid UTMDACC for non-clinical and mouse pre-clinical pre-GLP studies of lipomal curcumin.  It also includes expenses relating to development of depotcurcumin, a slow release formulation.  Depotcurcumin was originally made at UNT under non-GLP conditions from curcumin extract (and PLGA, a chemical surrounding the curcumin) originally purchased from a U.S. chemical supplier, Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals (“SAFC”).

As a result of the foregoing, the Company had a net loss of $768,754 in the 2013 Period as compared to a net loss of $338,255 in the 2012 period.  This translates to a loss per share of $0.06 in the 2013 Period compared to $0.3 in the 2012 Period.
 
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow risks or market-risks that may affect the fair values of its financial instruments. The Company utilizes various types of financing to fund our business needs, including preferred stock with warrants attached and other instruments not indexed to our stock. The Company is required to record its derivative instruments at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings in accordance with ASC 815.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

In accordance with ASC 820, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.  ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
 Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
 
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. 
 
 Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
 
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of March 31, 2013, on a recurring basis:

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a description of the valuation methodology used to measure fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
 
 Derivative Liability:     Market prices are not available for the Company's warrants nor are market prices of similar warrants available. The Company assessed that the fair value of this liability approximates its carrying value since carrying value has been adjusted to fair value.
 
 The method described above may produce a current fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. If a readily determined market value became available or if actual performance were to vary appreciably from assumptions used, assumptions may need to be adjusted, which could result in material differences from the recorded carrying amounts. The Company believes its method of determining fair value is appropriate and consistent with other market participants. However, the use of different methodologies or different assumptions to value certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value.
 
The following tables present the fair value of financial instruments as of March 31, 2013, by caption on the condensed balance sheet and by ASC 820 valuation hierarchy described above.

Plan of Operations
 
The Company's current focus is on the manufacture and preclinical development of its lead curcumin formulations (intravenous liposomal curcumin, oral and intravenous nanocurcumin and a slow release PLGA formulation) with a view toward filing two IND applications with the FDA. The Company's product candidates are still in the preclinical development phase.
 
            The Company believes that a novel pharmaceutical preparation with enhanced absorption of the active compound with resistance to hepatic inactivation could potentially have greater clinical efficacy than the oral versions. The laboratory and oral administration studies by other researchers to date suggest that curcumin has high potency. The Company believes that an alternate route for administering this compound, such as the Company's parenteral (taken into the body other than through the digestive canal) formulation, could be more effective at lower dosages. SignPath intends to develop a parenteral liposomal formulation, and a nanoparticle formulation, nanocurcumin, to overcome the limitations of the oral form.
 
 SignPath believes that the development and comparison of liposomal curcumin, nanocurcumin and PLGA formulation could expose potential differences in biological effects and distribution to different tissues. The Company intends to manufacture good manufacturing practice (GMP) grade of liposomal curcumin, nanocurcumin and PLGA formulation. These formulations will require outsourcing production to one or more commercial facilities. Our initial goals are to obtain sufficient material for in vitro and animal analysis and to develop these formulations in order to submit INDs to the FDA. Determination of safety, dosage, and efficacy of these formulations in a quantifiable manner will permit us to pursue clinical registration trials for a variety of malignant diseases. Following submission of the INDs, the Company plans to initially run Phase I studies with both of the parenteral formulations in patients with treatment refractory malignant disease. Subsequently, if the Phase I trials are successful, the Company plans to seek FDA authorization to run Phase II trials in selected malignancies.
 
            Liposomal curcumin: The Company has agreements with contract manufacturers for the manufacture, chemistry, and controls for supplies of the drugs to be tested. Liposomal curcumin is manufactured by our contract manufacturer, Polymun, Inc. Initial quantities of GMP grade liposomal curcumin to conduct preclinical studies to corroborate previously published data from other researchers were obtained from Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals ("SAFC") or from Sabinsa. Final production of liposmal curcumin GMP was completed at Polymun in Vienna, Austria during 2009. Using Iipocurc, anti-cancer activity without toxicity in human colon and pancreatic cancer xenograft models were published.  Following the determination of safety and the optimum dosage and schedule in the most sensitive of the three species, we will be able to estimate starting dosages for Phase I trials in humans. We plan to outsource corroborative studies of Iiposomal absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME), and pharmacokinetics in rats with the aim of estimating optimum dosage schedules, as well as dosage and safety in mice, rats and dogs to satisfy IND regulations to GLP laboratories in M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.
 
Nanocurcumin: The Company intends to obtain commercial volumes of purified curcumin from third party manufacturers, Sabinsa, and/or Regis Pharmaceutical(s) in quantities suitable to satisfy preclinical and clinical demands. The Company believes that the manufacture of Iiposomal curcumin and nanocurcumin can also be scaled up as necessary since these additional substances are readily available from commercial sources utilizing established production technologies. We plan to outsource nanocurcumin pre-clinical development to M.D. Anderson. We will continue non-clinical and preclinical analyses of nanocurcumin at the NCI Nanocharacterization Laboratory. The nanocurcumin program will be managed by M.D. Anderson through the filing of the Company's IND. However, we intend to develop direct injection nanocurc, a new clinical entity at Johns Hopkins Cancer Center for preventive therapy of inducted curcumin in situ in rats. Nanocurc, a parenteral formulation of nanocurcumin in human pancreatic cancer xenografts in nude mice has demonstrated anti-cancer effects. This formulation has activity against breast cancer-DCIS and passes the blood brain barrier. We intend to conduct a European Phase I dose funding in Parkinson's Disease for volunteers in collaboration with Polymun, Vienna, Austria. Upon completion, we will also continue studies of nanocurcumin, PLGA-nanocurcumin and lipsomal curcumin against L-DOPA induced dyskinesias in dogs. We will measure inhibiting effects of curcumin on disease progression in Parkinson's Disease patients at the University of Western Ontario, Canada. Contracts with these institutions will be initiated upon receipt of manufactured nanocurcumin.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
In the normal course of business, our financial position is routinely subject to a variety of risks, including market risk associated with interest rate movement. We regularly assess these risks and have established policies and business practices intended to protect against these and other exposures. As a result, we do not anticipate material potential losses in these areas.
 
As of March 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,212,362  
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.
 
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, our management has validated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the " Exchange Act"), as of March 31, 2013.  Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) our disclosure and controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  This conclusion is based on the fact that due to limited resources, the Company is unable to maintain adequate segregation of duties.
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.  As defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 5, a material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. A clear and concise segregation of duties is important to maximize checks and balances so that no single individual has control over two or more phases of a transaction or operation. A strong segregation of duty also is critical to reduce effectively the risk of mistakes and inappropriate actions preventing fraud and discourages collusion. It can be difficult for small businesses to always have a clear separation of duties because there simply are not enough personnel to cover each and every process and procedure. Ultimately, checks and balances need to be in place as a supportive measure to the business operations, but also as a fraud prevention measure as well. Because we have limited financial personnel, and limited resources, compliance with segregation of duties and proper oversight of control requirements is extremely difficult.  In connection with the evaluation referred to in the foregoing paragraph, we have identified no change in our internal control of financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
