Description of March 2008 Private Placement of Common Stock and Warrants
On March 27, 2008, IntelGenx Technologies Corp. completed an offering of 4,001,000 units of its securities at $0.70 per unit for gross proceeds of approximately $2.8 million (the "Gross Proceeds") and net proceeds of approximately $2,538,651 ("the "Offering"). Each unit consists of one share of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") and one two-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock (the "Warrant Shares") at an initial exercise price of $1.02 per share, subject to adjustment (the "Warrants").
Paradigm Capital Inc. ("Paradigm") acted as placement agent for the Offering on a best efforts basis. Paradigm's compensation consists of a cash commission equal to 7% of the Gross Proceeds and an option to acquire 320,080 units at $0.70 per unit within 24 months of the closing date (the "Placement Agent Options") (The shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Options shall be referred to as the Placement Agent Common Stock, the warrants issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Options shall be referred to as the "Placement Agent Warrants", and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants shall be referred to as the "Placement Agent Warrant Shares").
5
In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") providing for the filing of a registration statement (the "Registration Statement") with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission registering the Common Stock, Warrant Shares, Warrants, the Placement Agent Common Stock and the Placement Agent Warrant Shares . The Company is obligated to file the Registration Statement no later than 30 days from the date of closing and to use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective no later than 120 days after the date of closing.
The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment to $0.93 per share if, within four months from the closing date (i) the Common Stock and shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have not been listed and commenced trading on either the Toronto Stock Exchange or the TSX Venture Exchange and (ii) the Registration Statement has not been declared effective. The exercise price of the Warrants is also subject to adjustment for certain events, including dividends, distributions or split of the Company's common stock, subsequent equity sales or rights offerings by the Company, or in the event of the Company's consolidation, merger or reorganization.
In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a penalty in an aggregate amount equal to five percent of the Gross Proceeds if the Common Stock, Warrant Shares, Placement Agent Common Stock and Placement Agent Warrant Shares are not listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange or the TSX Venture Exchange within 60 days from the closing date of the Offering (the "Listing Condition"), and an additional penalty in an aggregate amount equal to one percent of the Gross Proceeds for each subsequent calendar month during which the Listing Condition is not satisfied, subject to a maximum of three months.
In connection with the Offering, each of the Company's officers and directors have entered into lock-up agreements in favor of Paradigm pursuant to which they have agreed not to sell or transfer their shares for a period ending four months and one day after the closing date. The foregoing issuances were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation S, promulgated pursuant to the Act. None of the purchasers are U.S. persons, no sales efforts were conducted in the U.S., and the Common Stock and Warrants contain a legend restricting the sale of such securities in accordance with Regulation S and pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and all other information set forth in this prospectus before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock. If any of the events or developments described below occurs, our business, financial condition and results of operations may suffer. In that case, the value of our common stock may decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business
We continue to sustain losses and our revenues are minimal.
Even though we completed the development stage of our operations in April 2006 when we commenced consistently generating revenues from our operations, we are still subject to all of the risks inherent in both the creation of a new business and the development of new products. Our cash flows may be insufficient to meet expenses relating to our operations and the development of our business, and may be insufficient to allow us to develop new products. We currently conduct research and development using our proprietary platform technologies to develop oral controlled released and other delivery products. We do not know if we will always be successful in the development of such products. We have an accumulated deficit of approximately $1,918,658 since our inception in 2003 to December 2007. To date, these losses have been financed principally through sales of equity securities, long-term debt and debt from related parties. Our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2007, December 31, 2006, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 were $862,731, $265,901, $19,990 and $257,374 respectively. Our revenues consisted primarily of development fee revenues from four clients and have not been sufficient to sustain our operations. In order to achieve profitability, our revenue streams will have to increase and there is no assurance that revenues will increase to such a level. Additional capital and/or borrowings will be necessary in order for us to continue in existence until we are able to attain and sustain profitable operations.
We are subject to currency fluctuations, which may affect our results.
The majority of our expenses are in Canadian dollars, while our revenues are primarily in U.S. dollars. The fluctuation of the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar could materially impact our operating results and financial position.
We may need additional capital to fulfill our business strategies. We may also incur unforeseen costs. Failure to obtain such capital would adversely affect our business.
We will need to expend significant capital in order to continue with our research and development by hiring additional research staff and acquiring additional equipment. If our cash flows from operations are insufficient to fund our expected capital needs, or our needs are greater than anticipated, we will be required to raise additional funds in the future through private or public sales of equity securities or the incurrence of additional indebtedness. Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. If we borrow additional funds, we likely will be obligated to make periodic interest or other debt service payments and may be subject to additional restrictive covenants. If we fail to obtain sufficient additional capital in the future, we could be forced to curtail our growth strategy by reducing or delaying capital expenditures, selling assets or downsizing or restructuring our operations. If we raise additional funds through public or private sales of equity securities, the sales may be at prices below the market price of our stock and our shareholders may suffer significant dilution.
6
The loss of the services of key personnel would adversely affect our
business.
Our future success depends to a significant degree on the skills, experience and efforts of our executive officers and senior management staff. The loss of the services of existing personnel, particularly Horst Zerbe, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, would be detrimental to our research and development programs and to our overall business.
We are dependent on collaborators to conduct clinical trials of, obtain regulatory approvals for, and manufacture, market, and sell our controlled release products.
We depend heavily on our pharmaceutical partners to pay for part or all of the research and development expenses associated with developing a new product and to obtain approval from regulatory bodies such as the FDA to commercialize these products. We also depend on our partners to successfully distribute these products after receiving regulatory approval. Our revenues from research and development fees, milestone payments and royalty fees are provided by our partners. Our inability to successfully find pharmaceutical partners who are willing to pay us these fees in order to develop new products would negatively impact our business and our cash flows.
We have limited experience in manufacturing, marketing and selling pharmaceutical products. Accordingly, if we cannot maintain our existing collaborations or establish new collaborations with respect to our other products in development, we will have to establish our own capabilities or discontinue the commercialization of the affected product. Developing our own capabilities would be expensive and time consuming and could delay the commercialization of the affected product. There can be no assurance that we would be successful in developing these capabilities.
Our existing collaborations are subject to termination on short notice under certain circumstances including, for example, if the collaborator determines that the product in development is not likely to be successfully developed or not likely to receive regulatory approval, if we breach the agreement or upon a bankruptcy event. If any of our collaborations are terminated, we may be required to devote additional resources to the product, seek a new collaborator on short notice or abandon the product. The terms of any additional collaboration or other arrangements that we establish may not be favorable to us.
We are also at risk that these collaborations or other arrangements may not be successful. Factors that may affect the success of our collaborations include the following:
Our collaborators
may be pursuing alternative technologies or developing alternative products
that are competitive to our product, either on their own or in collaboration
with others.
Our collaborators
may reduce marketing or sales efforts, or discontinue marketing or sales of
our products. This would reduce our revenues received on the products.
Our collaborators
may terminate their collaborations with us. This could make it difficult for
us to attract new collaborators or adversely affect perception of us in the
business and financial communities.
Our collaborators may pursue higher priority programs or change the focus of their development programs, which could affect the collaborator's commitment to us. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies historically have re-evaluated their priorities from time to time, including following mergers and consolidations, a common occurrence in recent years.
We face competition in our industry, and many of our competitors have substantially greater experience and resources than we do.
We compete with other companies within the drug delivery industry, many of which have more capital, more extensive research and development capabilities and greater human resources than we do. Some of these drug delivery competitors include Biovail Corporation, Labopharm Inc., and Flamel Technologies S.A. Our competitors may develop new or enhanced products or processes that may be more effective, less expensive, safer or more readily available than any products or processes that we develop, or they may develop proprietary positions that prevent us from being able to successfully commercialize new products or processes that we develop. As a result, our products or processes may not compete successfully, and research and development by others may render our products or processes obsolete or uneconomical. Competition may increase as technological advances are made and commercial applications broaden.
We are dependent upon sales outside the United States, which are subject to a number of risks.
Our future results of operation could be harmed by risks inherent in doing business in international markets, including:
Unforeseen changes in regulatory requirements;
Weaker intellectual property rights protection in some countries;
New export license requirements,
changes in tariffs or trade restrictions; and
7
We rely upon a third-party manufacturer, which puts us at risk for supplier business interruptions.
We have entered into an agreement with a third party manufacturer which will manufacture certain of our products once we complete development and after we receive regulatory approval. If our third-party manufacturer fails to perform, our ability to market products and to generate revenue would be adversely affected. Our failure to deliver products in a timely manner could lead to the dissatisfaction of our distribution partners and damage our reputation, causing our distribution partners to cancel existing agreements with us and to stop doing business with us.
The third-party manufacturer that we depend on to manufacture our products is required to adhere to FDA regulations regarding current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), which include testing, control and documentation requirements. Ongoing compliance with cGMP and other regulatory requirements is monitored by periodic inspection by the FDA and comparable agencies in other countries. Failure by our third-party manufacturer to comply with cGMP and other regulatory requirements could result in actions against them by regulatory agencies and jeopardize our ability to obtain products on a timely basis.
We are subject to extensive government regulation including the requirement of approval before our products may be marketed. Even if we obtain marketing approval, our products will be subject to ongoing regulatory review.
We, our collaborators, our products, and our product candidates are subject to extensive regulation by governmental authorities in the United States and other countries. Failure to comply with applicable requirements could result in warning letters, fines and other civil penalties, delays in approving or refusal to approve a product candidate, product recall or seizure, withdrawal of product approvals, interruption of manufacturing or clinical trials, operating restrictions, injunctions, and criminal prosecution.
Our products cannot be marketed in the United States without FDA approval. Obtaining FDA approval requires substantial time, effort, and financial resources, and there can be no assurance that any approval will be granted on a timely basis, if at all. We rely on our partners for the preparation of applications and for obtaining regulatory approvals. If the FDA does not approve our product candidates in a timely fashion, or does not approve them at all, our business and financial condition may be adversely affected. Further, the terms of approval of any marketing application, including the labeling content, may be more restrictive than we desire and could affect the marketability of our or our collaborator's products. Subsequent discovery of problems with an approved product may result in restrictions on the product or its withdrawal from the market. In addition, both before and after regulatory approval, we, our collaborators, our products, and our product candidates are subject to numerous FDA requirements covering testing, manufacturing, quality control, (cGMP), adverse event reporting, labeling, advertising, promotion, distribution, and export. Our collaborators and we are subject to surveillance and periodic inspections to ascertain compliance with these regulations. Further, the relevant law and regulations may change in ways that could affect us, our collaborators, our products, and our product candidates. Failure to comply with regulatory requirements could have a material adverse impact on our business.
Regulations regarding the manufacture and sale of our future products are subject to change. We cannot predict what impact, if any, such changes may have on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Additionally, the time required for obtaining regulatory approval is uncertain. We may encounter delays or product rejections based upon changes in FDA policies, including cGMP, during periods of product development. We may encounter similar delays in countries outside of the United States. We may not be able to obtain these regulatory acceptances on a timely basis, or at all.
The failure to obtain timely regulatory acceptance of our products, any product marketing limitations, or any product withdrawal would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, before it grants approvals, the FDA or any foreign regulatory authority may impose numerous other requirements with which we must comply. Regulatory acceptance, if granted, may include significant limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed. FDA enforcement policy strictly prohibits the marketing of accepted products for unapproved uses. Product acceptance could be withdrawn or civil or criminal sanctions could be imposed for our failure to comply with regulatory standards or the occurrence of unforeseen problems following initial marketing.
The third party manufacturers that we depend on to manufacture our products are required to adhere to FDA regulations regarding cGMP and similar regulations in other countries, which include testing, control and documentation requirements. Ongoing compliance with cGMP and other regulatory requirements is monitored by periodic inspection by the FDA and comparable agencies in other countries.
We may not be able to expand or enhance our existing product lines with new products limiting our ability to grow.
If we are not successful in the development and introduction of new products, our ability to grow will be impeded. We may not be able to identify products to enhance or expand our product lines. Even if we can identify potential products, our investment in research and development might be significant before we could bring the products to market. Moreover, even if we identify a potential product and expend significant dollars on development, we may never be able to successfully bring the product to market or achieve market acceptance for such product. As a result, we may never recover our expenses.
8
The market may not be receptive to products incorporating our drug delivery
technologies. The commercial success of any of our products that are
approved for marketing by the FDA and other regulatory authorities will depend
upon their acceptance by the medical community and third party payors as
clinically useful, cost-effective and safe. No product based on our technologies
is marketed in the United States, so there can be no assurance as to market
acceptance. Factors that we believe could materially affect market acceptance of these
products include: the timing of the receipt of
marketing approvals and the countries in which such approvals are obtained;
the safety and efficacy of the
product as compared to competitive products; the relative convenience and ease
of administration as compared to competitive products; the strength of marketing
distribution support; and the cost-effectiveness of the
product and the ability to receive third party reimbursement. We are subject to environmental regulations and any failure to comply may
result in substantial fines and sanctions.
Our operations are subject to Canadian and international environmental laws and regulations governing, among other things, emissions to air, discharges to waters and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of raw materials, waste and other materials. Many of these laws and regulations provide for substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations. We believe that we are and have been operating our business and facility in a manner that complies in all material respects with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations; however, we may incur material costs or liabilities if we fail to operate in full compliance. We do not maintain environmental damage insurance coverage with respect to the products which we manufacture.
We may have to make significant expenditures in the future to comply with evolving environmental, health and safety requirements, including new requirements that may be adopted or imposed in the future. To meet changing licensing and regulatory standards, we may have to make significant additional site or operational modifications that could involve substantial expenditures or reduction or suspension of some of our operations. We cannot be certain that we have identified all environmental and health and safety matters affecting our activities and in the future our environmental, health and safety problems, and the costs to remediate them, may be materially greater than we expect.
Our limited cash resources restrict our ability to pay cash dividends.
Since our inception, we have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. If we do not pay any dividends on our common stock, our stockholders will be able to profit from an investment only if the price of the stock appreciates before the stockholder sells it.
Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
If we are not able to adequately protect our intellectual property, we may not be able to compete effectively.
Our success depends, to a significant degree, upon the protection of our proprietary technologies. While we currently own 3 U.S. patents and have applied for 7 US patents, we will need to pursue additional protections for our intellectual property as we develop new products and enhance existing products. We may not be able to obtain appropriate protection for our intellectual property in a timely manner, or at all. Our inability to obtain appropriate protections for our intellectual property may allow competitors to enter our markets and produce or sell the same or similar products.
If we are forced to resort to legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights, the proceedings could be burdensome and expensive. In addition, our proprietary rights could be at risk if we are unsuccessful in, or cannot afford to pursue, those proceedings.
We also rely on trade secrets and contract law to protect some of our proprietary technology. We have entered into confidentiality and invention agreements with our employees and consultants. Nevertheless, these agreements may not be honored and they may not effectively protect our right to our un-patented trade secrets and know-how. Moreover, others may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets and know-how.
In 1995, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office adopted changes to the U.S. patent law that made the term of issued patents 20 years from the date of filing rather than 17 years from the date of issuance, subject to specified transition periods. Beginning in June 1995, the patent term became 20 years from the earliest effective filing date of the underlying patent application. These changes may reduce the effective term of protection for patents that are pending for more than three years. While we cannot predict the effect that these changes will have on our business, they could have a material adverse effect on our ability to protect our proprietary information. Furthermore, the possibility of extensive delays in the patent issuance process could effectively reduce the term during which a marketed product is protected by patents.
We may need to obtain licenses to patents or other proprietary rights from third parties. We may not be able to obtain the licenses required under any patents or proprietary rights or they may not be available on acceptable terms. If we do not obtain required licenses, we may encounter delays in product development or find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring licenses could be foreclosed. We may, from time to time, support and collaborate in research conducted by universities and governmental research organizations. We may not be able to acquire exclusive rights to the inventions or technical information derived from these collaborations, and disputes may arise over rights in derivative or related research programs conducted by us or our collaborators.

If we infringe on the rights of third parties, we may not be
able to sell our products, and we may have to defend against litigation and pay
damages. If a competitor were to assert that our products infringe
on its patent or other intellectual property rights, we could incur substantial
litigation costs and be forced to pay substantial damages. Third-party
infringement claims, regardless of their outcome, would not only consume
significant financial resources, but would also divert our management's time and
attention. Such claims could also cause our customers or potential customers to
purchase competitors' products or defer or limit their purchase or use of our
affected products until resolution of the claim. If any of our products are
found to violate third-party intellectual property rights, we may have to
re-engineer one or more of our products, or we may have to obtain licenses from
third parties to continue offering our products without substantial
re-engineering. Our efforts to re-engineer or obtain licenses could require
significant expenditures and may not be successful. Our controlled release products that are generic versions of
branded controlled release products that are covered by one or more patents may
be subject to litigation, which could delay FDA approval and commercial launch
of our products We expect to file or have our collaborators file Abbreviated
New Drug Applications or New Drug Applications (ANDAs or NDAs) for our
controlled release products under development that are covered by one or more
patents of the branded product. It is possible that the owners of the patents
covering the brand name product or the sponsors of the NDA with respect to the
branded product will sue or undertake regulatory initiatives to preserve
marketing exclusivity. Any significant delay in obtaining FDA approval to market
our products as a result of litigation, as well as the expense of such
litigation, whether or not we or our collaborators are successful, could have a
materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. Risks Related to Our Securities: The price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations.
Any of the following factors could affect the market price of our common
stock: Our failure to achieve and maintain
profitability; Changes in earnings estimates and
recommendations by financial analysts; Actual or anticipated variations in
our quarterly results of operations; Changes in market valuations of
similar companies; Announcements by us or our
competitors of significant contracts, new products, acquisitions, commercial
relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments; The loss of major customers or
product or component suppliers; The loss of significant partnering
relationships; and General market, political and
economic conditions. We have a significant number of convertible securities
outstanding that could be exercised in the future. Subsequent resale of these
and other shares could cause the Company's stock price to decline. This could
also make it more difficult to raise funds at acceptable levels via future
securities offerings. We have a concentration of stock ownership and control, and a
small number of stockholders have the ability to exert significant control in
matters requiring stockholder vote and may have interests that conflict with
ours. Our common stock ownership is highly concentrated. See
"Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management." As a result, a
relatively small number of stockholders, acting together, have the ability to
control all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of
directors and approval of mergers and other significant corporate transactions.
This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing or
deterring a change in control of our company. It could also deprive our
stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of
a sale of our company and it may affect the market price of our common stock. In
deciding how to vote on such matters, those stockholders' interests may conflict
with yours. Lack of Independent Directors We cannot guarantee that our Board of Directors will always
have a majority of independent directors. In the absence of a majority of
independent directors, our executive officer, who is also a principal
stockholder and director, could establish policies and enter into transactions
without independent review and approval thereof. This could present the
potential for a conflict of interest between the Company and its stockholders
generally and the controlling officers, stockholders or directors. 10
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the holders of our common stock may find it more
difficult to obtain accurate quotations concerning the market value of the
stock. Stockholders also may experience greater difficulties in attempting to
sell the stock than if it was listed on a stock exchange or quoted on Nasdaq.
Because our common stock is not traded on a stock exchange or on Nasdaq, and the
market price of the common stock is less than $5.00 per share, the common stock
is classified as a "penny stock." Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that
recommend the purchase or sale of penny stocks to persons other than those who
qualify as an "established customer" or an "accredited investor." This includes
the requirement that a broker-dealer must make a determination that investments
in penny stocks are suitable for the customer and must make special disclosures
to the customer concerning the risks of penny stocks. Application of the penny
stock rules to our common stock could adversely affect the market liquidity of
the shares, which in turn may affect the ability of holders of our common stock
to resell the stock. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of
broker-dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock and may
affect the ability of stockholders to sell their shares. These requirements may
be considered cumbersome by broker-dealers and could impact the willingness of a
particular broker-dealer to make a market in our shares, or they could affect
the value at which our shares trade. Classification of the shares as penny
stocks increases the risk of an investment in our shares. We became public by means of a reverse merger, and as a
result we are subject to the risks associated with the prior activities of the
public company. In addition, we may not be able to attract the attention of
major brokerage firms or institutional buyers. Additional risks may exist because we became public through a
"reverse merger" with a shell corporation. Although the shell did not have
recent or past operations or assets and we performed a due diligence review of
the public company, there can be no assurance that we will not be exposed to
undisclosed liabilities resulting from the prior operations of our company. Security analysts of major brokerage firms and securities
institutions may not cover us since there are no broker-dealers who sold our
stock in a public offering who would have an incentive to follow or recommend
the purchase of our common stock. No assurance can be given that established
brokerage firms will want to conduct any financings for us in the future. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements that

Inter-corporate Relationships
Overview
We are a drug delivery company focusing on the development of novel, orally administered drug delivery systems based on our proprietary oral drug delivery technologies. We have positioned ourselves as a provider of product development services for the pharmaceutical industry, including the branded and generic pharmaceutical markets.
Drug delivery systems are an important tool in the hands of physicians for purposes of optimizing drug therapy. For the pharmaceutical industry, drug delivery systems represent an opportunity to extend the market exclusivity and product lifecycle of drugs whose patent protection is ending.
According to a report by CMR International, products incorporating drug delivery systems represented 13% of the US $337 billion global pharmaceutical market. In the United States, sales of drug delivery products totaled $35 billion in 2006. Of this amount, the orally administered segment of the drug delivery market totaled $21 billion in sales. Controlled release (CR) dosage technologies play an important role in the development of orally administered drug delivery systems. Control release technology provides patients with the required amount of medication over a pre-determined, prolonged period of time, preferably over 24 hours. Because of the reduced fluctuation of the active drug in the blood, controlled release products are deemed safer and more tolerable than conventional dosage forms, and have shown better patient compliance.
Our primary business strategy is to develop pharmaceutical products based upon our proprietary drug delivery technologies and license the commercial rights to companies in the pharmaceutical industry once the viability of a product has been demonstrated. In exchange for licensing rights to our products, we seek funding consisting of advance down payments, milestone fees, reimbursement for development costs, and royalties on sales. The companies we partner with are responsible for managing the regulatory approval process of the product with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration ("FDA") and/or other regulatory bodies, as well as for the marketing and distribution of the products.
In addition to pursuing partnering arrangements that provide for the full funding of a drug development project, we are planning to undertake development of selected product opportunities until the marketing and distribution stage. We would first assess the potential and associated costs for successful development of a product, and then determine at which stage it would be most prudent to seek a partner, balancing costs against the potential for higher returns later in the development process.
Technology Platforms
Our product development efforts are based upon three delivery platform technologies: (1) a Tri-Layer Tablet technology (2) a Quick Release wafer technology, and (3) a Mucoadhesive Tablet technology. Our Tri-layer platform technology allows for the development of oral controlled release products. It is versatile and is aimed at significantly reducing manufacturing costs as compared to competing delivery technologies. The Quick Release Wafer technology allows for the instant delivery of pharmaceuticals to the oral cavity. The Mucoadhesive Tablet allows for the controlled release of active substances to the oral mucosa.
The Tri-Layer platform technology represents a new generation of controlled release layered tablets to modulate the release of active compounds. The technology is based on a tri-layer tablet with an active core layer and erodible cover layers. The release of the active drug from the core matrix initially occurs in a first-order fashion. As the erodible layers start to disintegrate, the permeation of the active ingredient through the cover layers increases. Thus, the Tri-Layer tablet can produce quasi-linear (zero-order) kinetics for releasing a chemical compound over a desired period of time. The erosion rate of the cover layers can be customized according to the physico-chemical properties of the active drug. In addition, our multi-layer technology offers the opportunity to develop combination products in a regulatory-compliant format. Combination products are made up of two or more active ingredients that are combined into a single dosage form.
The Quick Release Wafer is made up of a thin (25-35 micron) polymeric film comprised of USP components that are safe and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic products. Derived from the edible film technology used for breath strips and initially developed for the instant delivery of savory flavors to food substrates, the Instant Delivery Film has distinct advantages over existing fast dissolving oral tablets, thereby making it an attractive choice for indications requiring rapid onset of action like migraine, motion sickness and nausea.
12
The Mucoadhesive Tablet is an innovative drug delivery system
capable of adhering to the oral mucosa and releasing the drug onto the site of
application at a desired rate. The Mucoadhesive Tablet exhibits many advantages:
(i) it avoids the first pass effect (whereby the liver metabolizes the active
and greatly reduces the level of drug in the systemic circulation), (ii) it
leads to a higher absorption rate as compared to the conventional oral route and
(iii) it achieves a rapid onset of action for the drug. The Mucoadhesive Tablet
technology is a versatile one where the site of application, residence time and
rate of release of the drug can be modulated to achieve the desired results. Product Portfolio We have assembled a product portfolio that includes a blend
of generic products that management believes have the potential to generate
short-term revenues by presenting branding opportunities that are based on our
proprietary delivery technology. INT0001/2004. This is the most advanced generic product
involving our trilayer technology. Equivalency with the reference product Toprol
XL and its European equivalent Beloc-ZOK has been demonstrated in-vitro.
The product has been tested in phase I studies. INT0003/2005. We have entered into a partnership with Cary
Pharmaceuticals for the development of a once-daily tablet product containing an
antidepressant and a nicotine antagonist. The product is intended for smoking
cessation. INT0004/2006. The formulation development for an
antidepressant has been completed and clinical (phase I) development has
commenced. INT0005/2005. We are developing a bilayer tablet containing a
fixed-dose combination of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and a synthetic
prostaglandin. Formulation development is completed and a pilot bio batch has
been manufactured. INT0006/2005. We have entered into a development agreement
with Azur Pharma for the development and manufacture of a prenatal vitamin
supplement. The product was developed using our proprietary technology. We
expect to commercialize the product in mid 2008. INT0010/2006. We have entered into an agreement with Cannasat
Therapeutics Inc. for the development of a sublingual tablet product containing
a cannabinoid-based drug for the treatment of neuropathic pain and nausea in
cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. INT0011/2007 Under a development agreement with Cannasat
Therapeutics Inc., we are developing a controlled-release tablet containing
Cannabidiol for the treatment of schizophrenia. INT0007/2006. A wafer product based on our proprietary edible
film technology is in early development stage. The product is intended for the
treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). INT0008/2007. A wafer product based on our proprietary edible
film technology is in early development stage. The product is intended for the
treatment of migraine. The current development status of each of our products is

Our Strategy Our primary growth strategies include: (1) identifying
lifecycle management opportunities for existing "blockbuster" products, (2)
developing generic drugs with high barriers to entry, (3) developing products
for the (non-pharmaceutical) nutritional supplement market, and (4) new drug
delivery technologies. Lifecycle Management Opportunities To achieve our goal of creating attractive business
opportunities, we have undertaken a strategy under which we will position our
delivery technologies as an opportunity for lifecycle management of products for
which the patent protection of the active ingredient is nearing expiration.
While the patent for the underlying substance cannot be extended, patent
protection can be obtained for a new and improved formulation by filing an
application with the FDA under Section 505(b)(2) of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic
Act. The first formulation for a respective active ingredient which is filed
with the FDA under a 505(b)(2) application may qualify for three years of market
exclusivity upon approval. Based upon a review of past partnerships between
third party drug delivery companies and pharmaceutical companies, management
believes that drug delivery companies which possess innovative technologies to
develop these special dosage formulations present an attractive opportunity to
pharmaceutical companies. Accordingly, we believe these "505(b)(2) products"
represent the most attractive opportunity for us to date. Generic Drugs with High Barriers to Entry We will also plan to pursue the development generic drugs
that have certain barriers to entry, e.g., where product development and
manufacturing are complex and can limit the number of potential entrants into
the generic market. We plan to pursue such projects if there is a strong chance
the number of competitors will be small. An example of such a product is our pro
INT0005/2005, a fixed-dose combination medication requiring complex formulation
and manufacturing technology. Our goal is that this will be the first such
product to file for FDA approval. Nutritional Supplement Products We plan to develop additional products for the nutritional
supplement market based upon our proprietary drug delivery technologies. The
market for these supplements is large, with little differentiation between
products. Our proprietary technology is aimed at increasing the absorption rate
of active ingredients. We believe that supplements represent attractive short
term revenue opportunities since they are not as regulated as pharmaceutical
products and do not require FDA approval. Development of New Drug Delivery Technologies The rapidly disintegrating film technology contained in our
Quick Release Wafer and our mucosal adhesive tablet are examples of our efforts
to develop alternate technology platforms. As we work with various partners on
different products, we seek opportunities to develop new proprietary
technologies that may open up new market sectors for us in the future. Competition The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive and is
subject to the rapid emergence of new technologies, governmental regulations,
healthcare legislation, availability of financing, patent litigation and other
factors. Many of our competitors, including Biovail Corporation, Labopharm Inc.,
and Flamel Technologies S.A., have longer operating histories and greater
financial, technical, marketing, legal and other resources than us. In addition,
many of our competitors have significantly greater experience than we have in
conducting clinical trials of pharmaceutical products, obtaining FDA and other
regulatory approvals of products, and marketing and selling products that have
been approved. We expect that we will be subject to competition from numerous
other companies that currently operate or are planning to enter the markets we
compete in. The key factors affecting the success of our drug delivery
products are likely to include, among other factors: The safety and
efficacy of our products; The relative speed
with which we can develop products; Generic competition
for any product that we develop; Our ability to
defend our existing intellectual property and to broaden our IP and technology
base; Our ability to
differentiate our products; Our ability to
manufacture our products in compliance with cGMP and any other regulatory
requirements
14
In order to establish ourselves as a viable industry partner,
we have to continue to invest in our research and development activities in
order to further strengthen our technology base and to develop the ability to
manufacture our products through our manufacturing partner at competitive costs.
Our Competitive Strengths We believe that our key competitive strengths include: Our intellectual property; The versatility of our drug
delivery technology ; and The manufacturing cost savings
associated with our technology. Manufacturing Partnership We have entered into a collaboration agreement with Keata
Pharma Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of PharmEng International Inc., based in
Markham, Ontario. Under this agreement, Keata Pharma is our preferred supplier
for the manufacturing of clinical test batches and commercial products. We also
have a reciprocal relationship whereby we recommend Keata Pharma to our partners
for pharmaceutical manufacturing services and Keata Pharma promotes our product
development services to pharmaceutical companies. Dependence on Major Customers We do not rely on any one or a few major customers for our
end products. However, we depend upon a limited number of partners for the
development of new products, and to assist in obtaining approvals from
regulatory bodies such as the FDA that are required in order to commercialize
these products. Intellectual Property and Patent Protection We protect our intellectual property and technology by
applying for patent protection in the United States and in the most relevant
foreign markets, and through non-disclosure agreements, license agreements and
appropriate restrictions and controls on the distribution of information. We
plan to file core technology patents covering the use of our platform
technologies in any pharmaceutical products. We also rely on trade secrets,
common law trademark rights and trademark registrations. The following table is a list of our three (3) issued and seven (7) pending
patents:

Government Regulation
The pharmaceutical industry is highly regulated. We must remain current with FDA and other regulatory requirements in order to get new products approved. Failing to follow FDA and regulatory requirements could lead to higher R&D expenses. We are responding to these regulatory challenges by focusing on 505(b)(2) opportunities. By applying our drug delivery technology to existing drugs, we have access to high-potential product opportunities at lower R&D expenses and shorter time-to-market timelines compared to new chemical entity NDA (New Drug Application) products.
Research and Development We are currently working on several 505(b)(2) opportunities using our Tri-Layer and Quick Release Wafer platform technologies. We source our 505(b)(2) projects in two ways: (1) either we develop a product to "proof of concept" and then solicit potential pharmaceutical partners, or (2) potential partners approach us directly or through the use of an intermediary with a product idea for development. The pharmaceutical partners provide the funding required for the product development and in return get the exclusive distribution rights for the products. We receive development milestone payments from our partners and royalties upon commercialization.
Environmental Regulatory Compliance
We believe that we are in compliance with environmental regulations applicable to our research and development facility located in Ville Saint-Laurent, Quebec.
Employees
As of December 31, 2007, we had seven full-time employees and two consultants on staff. Five full-time employees and one consultant are directly involved in product development activities. Our technical staff includes one individual with a Ph.D., one individual with an M.D., and three individuals with Masters of Science degrees.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We currently occupy 3,100 square feet of leased space at a rate of CAN$8.29/square foot in an industrial zone in Ville St.-Laurent, Quebec, Canada under a 5-year renewable lease agreement signed in 2004. We expanded our laboratory and office space at this facility to its maximum during the second quarter of 2006. In order to continue to support ongoing product development activities and allow the addition of further development programs we might be required to seek a different location in 2008. Management has therefore entered into discussions with the current landlord to look for alternative facilities that would meet our need for additional space at affordable costs.

Revenues
Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $862,731, compared with $265,901 for the same period last year, an increase of $596,830, or 224%. The increase in total revenue for the twelve month period is primarily attributable to revenues received pursuant to our research and development agreements with our pharmaceutical partners. The remaining amount is attributable to increased interest income of $23,103 earned on the cash proceeds from the sale of our securities in May 2007.
Our research and development revenues in 2007 consisted of $492,530 received for development milestones achieved in connection with product development projects begun prior to 2007, and $342,846 received in connection with drug development projects initiated in 2007.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2007 were $777,773, as compared to $510,407 for 2006. The increase in research and development expenses is attributable to the increased drug development activities.
Approximately 92% of our research and development expenses in 2007 were incurred pursuant to research and development agreements entered into with our pharmaceutical industry partners. The remaining 8% of our research and development expenses were incurred in connection with internal projects that we are pursuing independently.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses increased to $166,249 in 2007, as compared to $84,080 in 2006. The increase is primarily attributable to increases in expenses in connection with our regulatory and capital raising efforts.
Management Salaries
Management salaries increased to $328,513 in 2007, as compared to $245,637 in 2006. Included in management salaries are $97,951 in non cash compensation in the form of options granted to directors and management employees in 2007. This amount compares to $137,097 in non cash compensation in 2006. The increase in management salaries is also attributable to the addition of a full time Chief Financial Officer and Vice-President of Business Development.
Professional Fees
Professional fees increased to $424,817 in 2007, as compared to $158,925 in 2006. Of this amount, $68,349 represents non-cash compensation paid for investor relations services. The remaining increase of $197,543 is primarily attributable to increased amounts paid to our legal counsel and auditors in connection with our reporting obligations as well as our fund raising.
17
Stock Based Compensation Expense, Warrants and Stock Based Payments
We incurred an aggregate of $202,607 of amortization expense for stock based compensation in 2007, as compared to $202,116 for 2006. In 2007, we granted 257,500 stock options pursuant to our 2006 Stock Option Plan, resulting in $97,951 in amortization expense. The remaining amortization expense for 2007 was incurred for options granted in 2006 in connection with the following: a) options grants to company employees resulting in an amortization expense of $18,190, b) for financing fees related to the April 2006 IntelGenx Corp. acquisition for $76,591, and c) for investor relations of $9,875. In 2006, we granted 1,119,000 stock options pursuant to our 2006 Stock Option Plan, resulting in $202,116 in amortization expense.
In 2007, we also amortized a total of $68,349 in stock based compensation issued in 2006 with respect to investor relation services as compared to $76,900 in 2006.
We expect to incur an aggregate of $97,381 in stock based compensation expense in fiscal 2008 and 2009 solely in connection with the issuance of options during 2006 and 2007. We anticipate issuing additional options and warrants in the future, which will continue to result in stock-based compensation and warrant amortization expenses.
Interest and Financing Fees
We incurred interest and financing fee expense of $349,093 during the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $54,724 in 2006. Included in the financing fees are a non-cash accretion expense of $185,823, and cash interest payments of $66,180 on the convertible debentures issued in May 2007. Also included in the financing costs is a non cash financing fee of $76,591 incurred with respect to the amortization of 250,000 options issued in connection with the acquisition of IntelGenx in April 2006. The total of non-cash items included in interest and financing fees is $262,414.
The remainder of $20,499 in interest expense relates to long term debt which was redeemed in May 2007, as well as interest paid on the outstanding shareholder loan. Based on the outstanding principal amount of the convertible debentures issued in May 2007, and assuming no additional conversions of these debentures into common stock, we expect to incur interest expenses of $113,000 in 2008.
Net Loss
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $1,100,793, as compared to a net loss of $781,136 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 is primarily due to increases in research and development expenses, professional fees and financing expenses. These expenses were offset by higher research and development revenues and interest income. In 2007, the Company incurred non-recurring and non-cash expenses for an approximate total of $444,000 for the amortization of financing fees, investor relation services, accretion expense, depreciation, share-based compensation and deferred income taxes.
Impact of Inflation
Inflation and changing prices has not had any impact on our revenues and income from continuing operations from inception to today.
Income taxes
In 2007, we incurred Canadian and provincial net operating losses of approximately $794,000 and $908,000 respectively, that may be applied against earnings of future years.
This compares to Canadian and provincial net operating losses of approximately $350,000 and $387,000 in 2006. Should there be an acquisition or a change in control of IntelGenx Corp, our Canadian subsidiary, the utilization of these net operating losses is subject to significant limitations imposed by Canadian income tax law. A portion of the net operating losses may expire before they can be utilized (see Financial Statements Note 13 Income Taxes).As at December 31, 2007, we had non-refundable tax credits of $24,000 expiring in 2017. In addition, we had deductible research and development expenses in the amount of $670,000 with no expiration date, as compared to $340,000 as of December 31, 2006.

Current Assets At December 31, 2007 we had current assets of $1,035,920, as
compared to current assets $488,975 at December 31, 2006. The net increase in
current assets of $546,945 is attributable to increases in cash, accounts
receivable, income taxes, and investment tax credits receivable totaling
$596,416, and a decrease in prepaid expenses in the amount of $49,471. The
increase in accounts receivable is attributable to increased revenues recognized
in the fourth quarter of 2007. The increase in investment tax credits receivable
is attributable to the increased expenses incurred in research and development
in direct relation to the increased development work performed. Contractual Obligations and Commitments Excluding trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the Company is
committed to the following contractual obligations and commitments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,918,658, and cash and cash equivalents of $330,967. We also had accounts receivable of $427,476, of which $70,238 is a sales tax refund which we expect to receive during the first quarter of 2008.
At December 31, 2007, we had accounts payable and accrued liabilities in an aggregate amount of $261,485. Of this amount, approximately $71,651 represents amounts owing to shareholders, and approximately $37,000 was due for legal fees rendered.
We presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. Due to our brief operating history and startup, our operations have not been a consistent source of liquidity. We have financed our operating and capital expenditures principally through the sale of debt and equity securities to accredited and institutional investors. In May 2007, we issued convertible debentures in an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 million, of which $1,395,241 remained outstanding as of December 31, 2007. Management believes that the Company's existing cash resources will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements for the first six months of 2008. We are seeking additional funding through additional equity and debt financings. However, there can be no assurance that that any additional financing will become available to us, and if available, on terms acceptable to us. Any financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact our ability to conduct our business. If we are unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more of our product candidates.
Our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern for the twelve months ending December 31, 2008. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm accompanying our financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph referring to our recurring losses from operations and expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital becoming available. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing and to generate revenue. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
At December 31, 2007, we had total assets of $1,271,164, and shareholders' equity of $211,864.
Current Liabilities
At December 31, 2007 we had current liabilities of $261,485, as compared to current liabilities of $154,020 at December 31, 2006. The net increase of $107,465 consists of an increase of $60,000 in current loans payable to our President and Chief Executive Officer, an increase of $46,989 in accounts payable, approximately $24,502 in currency exchange rate fluctuations on accounts payable, and a decrease in the long-term debt of $24,026. The long-term debt was redeemed in connection with the completion of our convertible note financing in May 2007.
Property and Equipment
At December 31, 2007 we had property and equipment valued at $235,244, as compared to $161,861 at December 31, 2006. The increase is attributable to acquisitions of $68,723, $5,712, and $8,526 for laboratory, office, and computer equipment respectively, with $42,003 allocated to depreciation, as well as a currency exchange rate fluctuation of $32,425.
19
Long term debt At December 31, 2007 there was no long term debt as compared
to $82,661 at December 31, 2006. The long term debt was redeemed in connection
with our convertible note financing in May 2007. May 2007 Convertible Note Financing On May 22, 2007, we completed the sale of 8% Secured
Convertible Debentures (the "Debentures") in an aggregate principal amount of
approximately $1.5 million (the "Purchase Price") to certain institutional and
accredited investors (the "Investors"), pursuant to a Securities Purchase
Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"). The Company received net proceeds of
approximately $1.36 million. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued
to the Investors five year warrants to purchase 2,142,857 shares of the
Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.02 per share (the "Warrants").
The Debentures mature twenty-eight (28) months from the date of issuance (the
"Maturity Date") and are convertible at any time into shares of the Company's
common stock at a fixed conversion price of $.70. The conversion price of the
Debentures and exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment for
certain events, including dividends, distributions or split of the Company's
Common Stock, subsequent equity sales or rights offerings by the Company, or in
the event of the Company's consolidation, merger or reorganization. The
Debentures bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum, which interest is payable
quarterly in cash or, at the Company's option following the effective date of
the registration statement, in shares of common stock equal to the interest
amount divided by the lower of $0.70 or 85% of the Company's 10 day volume
weighted average stock price. The Company's obligations under the Purchase Agreement and
the Debentures are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the
Company, pursuant to a Security Agreement. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company also
entered into registration rights agreements (the "Registration Rights
Agreements") providing for the filing of a registration statement (the
"Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission
registering the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and
exercise of the Warrants. The Company was obligated to file the Registration
Statement no later than 45 days from the date of closing and to use its best
efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective no later
than 90 days after the date of closing (or 120 days in the event of a "full
review" by the Securities and Exchange Commission). The Company met its
obligations under the Registration Rights Agreements by filing the Registration
Statement within the deadline and ensuring it was declared effective by August
23, 2007. In connection with the private placement, the Company paid
Carter Securities LLC, a NASD registered broker-dealer, placement agent and due
diligence fees of approximately $127,500 and four year warrants allowing him to
purchase 214,286 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of
$0.70 per share. In addition, legal and due diligence expenses of the Investors
were paid to Feldman Weinstein & Smith LLP and Valla LLC for a total of $28,750
while an escrow account fee of $3,500 was paid to the Signature Bank. Key items from the Statement of Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities was $968,659 for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $489,651 in 2006. In 2007, net cash used in operating activities consisted of an operating loss of $1,100,793, and a decrease in non-cash operating elements of working capital of $312,065. Non-cash items included in operating activities totaled $444,199 and included the following items: depreciation, non-cash payments for investor relation services, share based compensation expense, interest and expense accretion on the convertible notes issued in May 2007 and deferred income tax provision. Our operating activities will continue to consume our available funds until we can generate increased sales revenues.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,162,806 for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $823,543 in 2006. Of this amount, $1,500,000 represents proceeds from the sale of convertible debentures in May 2007, less $229,323 of related transaction costs, and $107,871 paid for the redemption of the long-term debt. Net Cash provided by financing activities is expected to increase as the Company is seeking additional financing.
20
Net cash used in investing activities was $82,961 for the
year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $97,511 in 2006. The net cash of
$82,961 was used to purchase capital assets in 2007. On December 27, 2007, the
company purchased $60,000 in laboratory equipment from Horst Zerbe, our
President and Chief Executive Officer. We expect to purchase additional
equipment on an as needed basis in order to support our development efforts. Cash and cash equivalents are $330,967 at December 31, 2007,
as compared to $227,578 as of December 31, 2006. The net increase in cash and
cash equivalents was the result of proceeds from the sale of convertible notes
in May 2007, offset by increased spending on research and development
activities. MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
In accordance with a certain Registration Rights Agreement dated as of March 27, 2008 entered into in connection with the issuance of the Common Stock and Warrants to the selling security holders, we have agreed with the selling stockholders to register the Common Stock, Warrants, Warrant Shares, Placement Agent Common Stock and Placement Agent Warrant Shares. The selling security holders purchased the Common Stock and Warrants covering these shares in the March 2008 Private Placement (See "Description of March 2008 Private Placement of Common Stock and Warrants"). The warrants have not yet been exercised by the selling security holders.
Paradigm Capital, Inc. ("Paradigm"), a FINRA member broker-dealer, served as the placement agent in connection with our March 2008 Private Placement. We do not have any arrangement with Paradigm for it to act as a broker-dealer for the sale of the shares included herein for the selling stockholders. Paradigm may be deemed to be an underwriter with respect to its respective sales of shares to be offered by them in this prospectus.
The shares offered by this prospectus may be offered from time to time by the selling security holders listed in the following table. Each selling security holder will determine the number of shares to be sold and the timing of the sales. Our registration of the shares does not necessarily mean that the selling security holders will sell all or any of the shares. Because the selling security holders may offer all, some or none of their shares, no definitive estimate as to the number of shares thereof that will be held by the selling security holders after such offering can be provided, and the following table has been prepared on the assumption that all shares of common stock offered under this prospectus will ultimately be sold.

(1) For purposes of this column only, we have included all shares of common stock owned or beneficially owned by that selling security holder, and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of all warrants owned or beneficially owned by such selling security holder. Those shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other selling security holder. Each selling security holder's ownership in this column is based on 20,299,045 shares of our common stock outstanding as of April 8, 2008.
(2) Represents an aggregate of: (i) 4,001,000 shares of outstanding common stock (ii) 4,001,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants with an exercise price of $1.02, subject to adjustment (iii) 320,080 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Agent Options, and (iv) 320,080 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants, which also have an exercise price of $1.02, subject to adjustment.
(3) The percentages set forth in this column are based on 20,299,045 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 8, 2008. The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the selling security holder has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares, which the selling security holder has the right to acquire within 60 days. However, the selling stockholders have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to exercise their warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, this column represents the aggregate maximum number and percentage of shares that the selling stockholder can own at one time (and therefore, offer for resale at any one time) due to their 9.99% limitation.

2008 Private Placement. Description of March 2008 Private Placement of Common Stock and Warrants On March 27, 2008, IntelGenx Technologies Corp. completed an
offering of 4,001,000 units of its securities at $0.70 per unit for gross
proceeds of approximately $2.8 million (the "Gross Proceeds") and net proceeds
of approximately $2,538,651 ("the "Offering"). Each unit consists of one share
of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") and one two-year warrant to
purchase one share of common stock (the "Warrant Shares") at an initial exercise
price of $1.02 per share, subject to adjustment (the "Warrants"). Paradigm Capital Inc. ("Paradigm") acted as placement agent
for the Offering on a best efforts basis. Paradigm's compensation consists of a
cash commission equal to 7% of the Gross Proceeds and an option to acquire
320,080 units at $0.70 per unit within 24 months of the closing date (the
"Placement Agent Options") (The shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of
the Placement Agent Options shall be referred to as the Placement Agent Common
Stock, the warrants issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Options shall
be referred to as the "Placement Agent Warrants", and the shares of common stock
issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants shall be referred to as
the "Placement Agent Warrant Shares"). In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into a
registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") providing
for the filing of a registration statement (the "Registration Statement") with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission registering the Common Stock,
Warrant Shares, Warrants, the Placement Agent Common Stock and the Placement
Agent Warrant Shares. The Company is obligated to file the Registration
Statement no later than 30 days from the date of closing and to use its best

32,500 options to purchase common stock. The related charge in 2007 for the
total of 107,500 in options grants was $76,733. On the same date, Gino Di Iorio, our CFO, was granted 75,000 options to
purchase common shares. The related charge for 2007 was $10,609. On December 27, 2007, the Company purchased from Horst Zerbe, our President
and CEO, $60,000 in laboratory equipment. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION Each selling security holder of the common stock and any of
their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time,
sell any or all of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus on any
stock exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which the common
stock is listed or quoted at the time of sale, in the over-the-counter market,
in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, at fixed prices that may be
changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to
prevailing market prices or at prices otherwise negotiated. A selling security
holder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares: ordinary brokerage
transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
block trades in
which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may
position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the
transaction; purchases by a
broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
an exchange
distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; privately
negotiated transactions; settlement of
short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part; broker-dealers may
agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified number of such
shares at a stipulated price per share; through the writing
or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an
options exchange or otherwise; a combination of
any such methods of sale; or any other method
permitted pursuant to applicable law. The selling security holders may also sell shares under Rule
144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may
arrange for other broker dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may
receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any
broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in
amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these
commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of
transactions involved. A selling stockholder may from time to time pledge or grant a
security interest in some or all of the shares or common stock owned by him and,
if the selling stockholder defaults in the performance of the secured
obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of
common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to
this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the
Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee,
transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this
prospectus. In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests
therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions which may in turn engage in short
sales of our common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume.
The selling stockholders may, after the date of this prospectus, also sell
shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their
short positions, or loan or pledge their common stock to broker-dealers that in
turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into
option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions
or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery
to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this
prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may
resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such
transaction). The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents
that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters"
within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such
event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit
on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Because the selling stockholders may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to
the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Federal securities
laws, including Regulation M, may restrict the timing of purchases and sales of
our common stock by the selling stockholders and any other persons who are
involved in the distribution of the shares of common stock pursuant to this
prospectus. 32
There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the
proposed sale of the shares by the selling security holders. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or
licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws.
In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been
registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from
the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act" or "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
The following issuance of shares were exempt from registration under section 4(2) of the Securities Act, Regulation D and/or Regulation S promulgated there under:
On April 28, 2006 our Canadian subsidiary, IntelGenx, completed a private placement to certain accredited investors and issued 3,191,489 of its common shares for cash consideration of $1,341,750. Those shares where than exchanged into 3,191,489 shares of our common stock as part of the IntelGenx Acquisition (see Item 1 Description of Business The IntelGenx Acquisition). After deduction of costs related to the IntelGenx Acquisition, the net proceeds from this private placement were $792,421.
On April 28, 2006 our special purpose Canadian subsidiary completed the acquisition of 10,991,000 common shares of IntelGenx, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement and other agreements.

We also acquired 100,000 common share purchase warrants of IntelGenx pursuant to a securities purchase agreement which we entered into with Patrick J. Caruso, in exchange for warrants exercisable for 100,000 shares of our common stock. Additionally, we entered into a business consultancy agreement with Mr. Caruso pursuant to which we issued to Mr. Caruso 325,000 shares of common stock as a non-refundable retainer, and in full payment of investor relations services to be rendered by Mr. Caruso under the agreement.
We also issued warrants to purchase 90,691 shares of common stock at $0.41 per share for services rendered in connection with the IntelGenx Acquisition in April 2006. The issuance of the warrants was not registered under the Securities Act.
On May 22, 2007, we completed the sale of 8% Secured Convertible Debentures in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.5 million to certain institutional and accredited investors, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $1.36 million.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the purchasers to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
36
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (a) (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales
are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not
exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective registration statement. (iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
any material change to such information in the registration statement; (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering. (4) Not applicable. (5) That for the purpose of determining liability under the
Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: (ii) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of
this registration statement, shall be deemed to be part of and included in this
registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness;
provided, however, that no statement made in this registration statement or
prospectus that is part of this registration statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into this registration
statement or prospectus that is part of this registration statement will, as to
a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede
or modify any statement that was made in this registration statement or
prospectus that was part of this registration statement or made in any such
document immediately prior to such date of first use. (6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the
registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial
distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary
offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this
registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the
securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such
purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned
registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or
sell such securities to such purchaser: (i) Any preliminary prospectus of the
undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to
Rule 424; (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering
prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by
the undersigned registrant; (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus
relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned
registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned
registrant; and (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering
made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. 37

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
IntelGenx Technologies Corp.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of IntelGenx Technologies Corp. as at December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
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 an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations, comprehensive loss, and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has experienced operating losses and requires significant capital to finance operations and repay existing indebtedness. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We were not engaged to examine management's assertion about the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2007 included in the accompanying 10 KSB filing and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006
(Expressed in U.S. Funds)
1.
Basis of Presentation and Reorganization of the Corporation Basis of Presentation
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary companies. On consolidation, all material interentity transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The financial statements are expressed in U.S. funds.
Reorganization of the Corporation
On April 28, 2006, Intelgenx Corp. entered into a share exchange agreement with IntelGenx Technologies Corp. (formerly Big Flash Corporation), an inactive public shell company, for the acquisition by IntelGenx Technologies Corp. of all the issued and outstanding shares of Intelgenx Corp.
Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the share exchange is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. That is, the share exchange is equivalent to the issuance of stock by Intelgenx Corp. for the net monetary assets of IntelGenx Technologies Corp. accompanied by a recapitalization, and is accounted for as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the share exchange is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except no goodwill is recorded. Under reverse takeover accounting, the post reverse acquisition comparative historical financial statements of the legal acquirer, IntelGenx Technologies Corp., are those of the legal acquiree, Intelgenx Corp., which is considered to be the accounting acquirer.
All of the Intelgenx Corp. shares, through a series of exchanges, were exchanged for shares of IntelGenx Technologies Corp. common shares and/or exchangeable shares of 6544361 Canada Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of IntelGenx Technologies Corp. The exchangeable shares are exchangeable for common shares of IntelGenx Technologies Corp. on a one-for-one basis. Until such time as the holders of the exchangeable shares wish to exchange their shares for IntelGenx Technologies Corp. shares, the IntelGenx Technologies Corp. shares are held in trust by a trustee on behalf of the exchangeable shareholders. The trustee shall be entitled to the voting rights in IntelGenx Technologies Corp. stated in the terms of the exchange and voting agreement and shall exercise these voting rights according to the instruction of the holders of the exchangeable shares on a basis of one vote for every exchangeable share held.

(Expressed in U.S. Funds)
1.
Basis of Presentation and Reorganization of the Corporation (Cont'd)
These financial statements reflect the accounts of the balance sheets, the results of operations and the cash flows of Intelgenx Corp. at their carrying amounts, since it is deemed to be the accounting acquirer.
The results of operations, the cash flows and the assets and liabilities of IntelGenx Technologies Corp. have been included in these consolidated financial statements since April 28, 2006, the acquisition date. Amounts reported for the periods prior to April 28, 2006 are those of Intelgenx Corp.
The fair value assigned to the asset of IntelGenx Technologies Corp. acquired on April 28, 2006, being prepaid investor relations services, is $133,250. As part of the transaction, a shareholder of IntelGenx Technologies Corp. forgave the amount due to shareholder and related interest payable amounting to $23,160.
2.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has reported an accumulated deficit of $1,918,658 (2006 - $817,865). To date, these losses have been financed principally through common share issuance, long-term debt and debt from related parties. Additional capital and/or borrowings will be necessary in order for the Company to continue in existence until attaining and sustaining profitable operations.
Management has continued to develop a strategic plan to develop a management team, maintain reporting compliance and establish contracts with pharmaceutical companies. To date revenues consisted primarily of research and development fee revenues from four clients and have not been sufficient to sustain operations. In order to achieve profitability, revenue streams will have to increase significantly and there is no assurance that revenues can increase to such a level. The Company has raised additional cash through the issuance of convertible debt during the year and is currently undergoing the process of raising additional capital. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due.
3.
Nature of Business
The Company specializes in the development of pharmaceutical products in co-operation with various pharmaceutical companies. Prior to March 31, 2006, the Company was in the development stage and its efforts were focused on establishing contracts with pharmaceutical companies and the research and development of pharmaceutical products. The Company completed the development stage of its operations when the Company commenced consistently generating revenues from its operations in April 2006.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The financial statements include estimates based on currently available information and management's judgment as to the outcome of future conditions and circumstances. Significant estimates in these financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation costs, determination of the fair value of the warrants issued with the convertible notes, the investments tax credits receivable and the resulting impact on the allocation of the proceeds between the convertible notes, the beneficial conversion feature and the warrants.
Changes in the status of certain facts or circumstances could result in material changes to the estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements and actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from research and development contracts as the contracted services are performed or when milestones are achieved, in accordance with the terms of the specific agreements and when collection of the payment is reasonably assured. In addition, the performance criteria for the achievement of milestones are met if substantive effort was required to achieve the milestone and the amount of the milestone payment appears reasonably commensurate with the effort expended. Amounts received in advance of the recognition criteria being met, if any, are included in deferred income.
Sales Tax
On June 28, 2006, the FASB ratified the EITF's consensus reached on EITF 06-3, which relates to the income statement presentation of taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities. The Task Force affirmed as a consensus on this issue that the presentation of taxes on either a gross basis or a net basis within the scope of EITF 06-3 is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed pursuant to APB 22. A company should disclose the amount of those taxes that is recognized on a gross basis in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented if those amounts are significant. The Company adopted EITF 06-3 on January 1, 2007. While the amounts are not material, the Company's policy is to present such taxes on a net basis in the consolidated statements of operations.
Financial Instruments
The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments based on current interest rates, market value and pricing of financial instruments with comparable terms. Unless otherwise indicated, the carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair market value.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)
Cash and Cash Equivalent
Cash and cash equivalent is comprised of cash on hand and a term deposit with an original maturity date of less than three months.
Accounts Receivable
The Company accounts for trade receivables at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer's financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. The Company writes off trade receivables when they are deemed uncollectible. The Company records recoveries of trade receivables previously written-off when they receive them. Management considers the reserve for doubtful accounts of $Nil (2006: $Nil) to be adequate to cover any exposure to loss in its December 31, 2007 and 2006 accounts receivable.
Investment Tax Credits
Investment tax credits relating to qualifying expenditures are recognized in the accounts at the time at which the related expenditures are incurred and there is reasonable assurance of their realization. Management has made estimates and assumptions in determining the expenditures eligible for investment tax credits claimed.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Provisions for depreciation are based on their estimated useful lives using the methods as follows:
|
On the declining balance method - | |
|
Laboratory and office equipment |
20% |
|
Computer equipment |
30% |
|
On the straight-line method - | |
|
Leasehold improvements |
5 years |
Upon retirement or disposal, the cost of the asset disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in income. Expenditures for repair and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value thereof.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's reporting currency is the United States dollar. The Canadian dollar is the functional currency of the Company's Canadian operations which is translated to the United States dollar using the current rate method. Under this method, accounts are translated as follows:
Assets and liabilities - at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date;
Revenue and expenses - at average exchange rates prevailing during the year.
Gains and losses arising from foreign currency translation are included in other comprehensive income.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
In July 2006, the FASB released FIN 48, "Uncertainty in Income Taxes," which defines accounting for uncertain tax positions and includes amendments to SFAS No. 109. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 (the first fiscal year after December 15, 2006). See Note 13 for additional information."

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)
Share-Based Payments
The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123R "Share-based payments (Revised)" and accordingly recognizes in its financial statements share-based payments at their fair value. In addition, it will recognize in the financial statements an expense based on the grant date fair value of stock options granted to employees. The expense will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and the offsetting credit will be recorded in additional paid-in capital. Upon exercise of options, the consideration paid together with the amount previously recorded as additional paid-in capital will be recognized as capital stock. The Company estimates its forfeiture rate in order to determine its compensation expense arising from stock-based awards. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to determine the fair value of the options.
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The convertible debt, warrants and stock options have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share since they are anti-dilutive.
Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 159, the Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("SFAS 159"), which includes an amendment to FASB Statement No. 115. The statement permits entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value (referred to as the "fair value option") and report associated unrealized gains and losses in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. No significant impact is expected on the consolidated financial statements at the time of adoption.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141R"). SFAS 141R will significantly change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS 141R will change the accounting treatment for certain specific acquisition related items including: (1) expensing acquisition related costs as incurred; (2) valuing noncontrolling interests at fair value at the acquisition date; and (3) expensing restructuring costs associated with an acquired business. SFAS 141R also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. SFAS 141R is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. We expect SFAS 141R will have an impact on our accounting for future business combinations once adopted but the effect is dependent upon the acquisitions that are made in the future.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements" ("SFAS 160"). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary (minority interest) is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the Consolidated Financial Statements and separate from the parent company's equity. Among other requirements, this statement requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Operations, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. We expect SFAS 160 will have an impact on our accounting for future business combinations once adopted but the effect is dependent upon the acquisitions that are made in the future.

Adjustment to Issued Financial Statements
Balance sheet as at December 31, 2006
The balance sheet as at December 31, 2006 has been adjusted, in this filing, to reflect the correction of an error in the previously issued financial statements. Capital stock was not disclosed at its par value with the excess of the proceeds in additional paid-in capital. As a result, capital stock is reduced by $977,846 and additional paid-in capital is increased by the same amount. This error is not material to prior years audited statements since it is a reclassification within the stockholders equity section and has no impact on earnings or cash flows from operating or financing activities. The application of Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 ("SAB 108") has allowed a restatement of December 31, 2006 financial statements during the filing of December 31, 2007 10-KSB.
Balance sheet as at June 30 and September 30, 2007
Following the release of the third quarter financial statements, the Company corrected the calculation of the volatility of the warrants issued in connection with the convertible notes (note 9). As a result, the volatility changed from 75% to 64%. The impact of the change resulted in a decrease of $60,566 to the value of the warrants initially recorded to additional paid-in capital and a decrease of $14,171 to the related transaction costs. The beneficial conversion feature recorded to additional paid-in capital was also decreased by $60,566 and the related deferred income tax liability was increased by $35,211. The convertible notes value decreased by $100,603. The only impact this change had on net loss was to increase the interest accretion recorded for 2007 by $13,153.

Convertible Notes (Cont'd)
The Company may, at its option, elect to pay the interest by the issuance of shares of common stock. The number of shares is to be determined by dividing the amount of the interest payment by the number which is 85% of the average market price of the Company's common shares for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the interest payment date assuming the average market price is equal or greater than $0.70 as adjusted for reverse and forward share split, recapitalizations and the like that occur after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreements.
In accordance with EITF Issue 98-5 "Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios", the Company recognized the value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $490,093 as additional paid-in capital and an equivalent discount which will be expensed over the term of the convertible notes. In addition, in accordance with EITF Issue 00-27 "Application of Issue No.98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments", the Company has allocated the proceeds of issuance between the convertible notes and the detachable warrants based on their relative fair value. Accordingly, the Company recognized the fair value of the detachable warrants of $490,093 as additional paid-in capital and an equivalent discount against the convertible notes. The difference between the face amount of the convertible notes and their carrying value is amortized over the life of the convertible notes. As long as any portion of the convertible notes remains outstanding, the Company shall not pay any cash dividends or distributions on any equity securities of the Company without prior written consent from the holders of the convertible note.
The Black-Scholes Model was used to calculate the fair value of the warrants. The underlying assumptions included in the Black-Scholes Model were as follows:
|
Expected volatility | 64% | |
|
Contractual life | 5 years | |
|
Risk-free interest rate | 4.39% | |
|
Dividend yield | Nil |
Substantially all of the assets of the Company have been pledged as security of the convertible notes. As at December 31, 2007, $66,180 of interest has been paid, and $195,317 of interest has been accreted. During the year, $104,759 of convertible notes were exchanged for 149,657 shares of common stock.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in 2007 in regards to the stock options was $202,607 (2006 - $212,778). As of December 31, 2007, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options was $97,381. This amount is expected to be recognized as expense over a period of two years. A change in control of the Company due to acquisition would cause the vesting of these stock options to accelerate and would result in this amount being charged to stock-based compensation expense.

There were Canadian and provincial net operating losses of approximately $794,000 (2006 - $350,000) and $908,000 (2006 - $387,000) respectively, that may be applied against earnings of future years. Utilization of the net operating losses is subject to significant limitations imposed by the change in control provisions. A portion of the net operating losses may expire before they can be utilized.
As at December 31, 2007, the Company had non-refundable tax credits of $24,000 (2006 -$93,000) expiring in 2017 and undeducted research and development expenses of $670,000 (2006 - $340,000) with no expiration date.

Income Taxes (Cont'd)
Due to the reorganization of the corporation, there were $549,000 of transaction costs of which $113,000 was deductible in the current year (2006- $109,000). The remaining transaction costs are deductible for income tax purposes in equal amounts over the next three years.
The deferred tax benefit of these items was not recognized in the accounts.
Deferred Income Taxes
The balance of deferred income taxes as at December 31, 2007 represents the tax effect of the convertible debt arising from the difference between the convertible debt's basis for accounting purposes and that for income tax purposes and it has been charged to additional paid-in capital. As the convertible debt is repaid, the deferred tax liability will be charged to expenses.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions for FIN 48, which is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on de-recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. FIN 48 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Prior to January 1, 2007 and the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recorded tax contingencies when the exposure item became probable and reasonably estimable, in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.
The adoption of FIN 48 has not had a material effect on our financial position or results of operations for 2007.
The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next twelve months.
Classification of Interest and Penalties
Additionally, FIN 48 requires the Company to accrue interest and related penalties, if applicable, on all tax positions for which reserves have been established consistent with jurisdictional tax laws.
The Company's policy to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes did not change as a result of adopting FIN 48.
The interest and penalties as of December 31, 2007 and for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were zero.

Subsequent Event
On March 27, 2008, as part of a private placement, the Company issued 4,001,000 units for gross proceeds of $2,800,000. Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $1.02 per common share. and expires 24 months after the date of issuance.
The Company paid an agent a cash commission in the amount of $196,000, which is equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the offering and issued an agent option entitling the agent to acquire 320,080 units at $0.70 per unit, which expires 24 months after the date of issuance. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $1.02 per common share and expires 24 months after the date of issuance of the unit.
The cash consideration paid to the agent and the fair value of the agent option will be reflected as a reduction to the additional paid-in capital.
