DUTCHESS AGREEMENT Effective September 28, 2004, we entered into an Investment Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, II, L.P. Pursuant to the Agreement, Dutchess committed to purchase our common stock up to an aggregate purchase price of $35 million over a two-year period. The Dutchess Agreement provides that, from time to time, we may deliver a notice to Dutchess. Such notices will state the dollar amount of common stock that we desire Dutchess to purchase subject to the limits in the Investment Agreement. Upon receipt of a put notice, Dutchess is obligated to purchase from us during the relevant pricing period shares having an aggregate purchase price equal to: (i) the put amount set forth in the put notice or (ii) a minimum of 20% of the aggregate trading volume of our common stock during the applicable pricing period times the average of the two lowest closing bid prices of our common stock during the specified pricing period. The maximum amount permitted pursuant to any such notice is $600,000, and we can give approximately three such notices per month. Dutchess is obliged to purchase the dollar amount of common stock set forth in the notice at a purchase price equal to 96% of the average of the two lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the five trading days after the notice. The obligation of Dutchess to purchase under the Dutchess Agreement is contingent upon us having an effective registration statement registering the resale of the shares by Dutchess. In addition, we are not permitted to provide a notice, and Dutchess is not obliged to purchase any shares, in the event that we do not have sufficient authorized shares available for purchase to fulfill such commitment. We filed a Form S-2 registration statement that was declared effective by the SEC on July 15, 2005 to register 350,000,000 shares of our common stock for purposes of the Investment Agreement. We also filed a Form S-2 registration statement that was declared effective by the SEC on May 17, 2005 to register 12,500,000 shares of our common stock for purposes of the Investment Agreement. As of March 31, 2006, we have issued 165,794,892 shares and have raised $3,672,355. RISK FACTORS Before deciding to invest in us or to maintain or increase your investment, you should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to other available information. Each of the following risks could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. These risks could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. RISKS RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND BUSINESS REGULATORY OVERSIGHT OF OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES MAY INCREASE OUR COSTS TO MARKET OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO MARKET OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. Currently, there is limited Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, regulation of genetic tests. Within the field of personalized health and medicine, governmental and other entities may enact patient privacy and healthcare laws and regulations that may limit the generation and use of genomic variation data. "Genomic variation data" is the information obtained when scientists search the gene for differences across the entire human genome for changes and variations. To the extent that FDA laws and regulations limit the use of our products and services or impose additional costs on our customers, we may be unable to market effectively our products and services and we may not generate sufficient revenue to sustain our operations. Furthermore, we may be directly subject to regulations as a provider of diagnostic information. A diagnosis is the evaluation of a patient or a sample to determine what the status of the patient might be. The information that results from this evaluation is called `diagnostic information' and would include such information as height, weight, sex, age, blood pressure, sugar levels and many other pieces of data. The Secretary's Advisory Committee on Genetic Testing, an advisory panel to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has recommended that the FDA expand its regulation of genetic testing to require FDA approval for all new genetic tests and labeling of genetic tests. If the FDA adopts this recommendation, it may require us, or our customers, to apply for FDA approval as a prerequisite to marketing genetic tests that incorporate our intellectual property. If the FDA were to deny any application of this kind, it could adversely affect our business, and we may be unable to generate sufficient revenue to sustain our operations. To the extent that government regulations restrict the sale of our products and services or impose other costs, we may be unable to provide our products and services to our customers on terms sufficient to recover our expenses. OUR SUCCESS WILL DEPEND, IN PART, ON HOW RAPIDLY THE PHARMACEUTICAL AND BIOTECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY IMPLEMENTS GUIDANCE FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND THE FDA REGARDING A POTENTIAL EXPANSION OF REGULATION OF OUR INDUSTRY. WITHOUT THIS IMPLEMENTATION BY THE PHARMACEUTICAL AND BIOTECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO MARKET EFFECTIVELY OUR TESTS AND SERVICES, AND WE MAY NOT GENERATE SUFFICIENT REVENUE TO SUSTAIN OUR OPERATIONS. On November 3, 2003, the FDA issued draft guidance that encouraged drug and biologic developers to conduct pharmacogenomic tests during drug development and clarified how the FDA will evaluate the resulting data. "Pharmacogenomic tests" are clinical laboratory tests of all kinds to determine whether a drug is working or not working on a patient that is experiencing a particular illness or expressing a disease. It has only been recently that genetic scientists have been able to link genetic testing to the performance of a drug. The term is often used within the pharmaceutical industry to describe the testing of individuals for their genetic influences on the effectiveness of a drug, or more precisely, whether something in a person's genes that would either enhance or prevent the treatment of that individual's disease with a particular drug. 3
SB-27th “Page” of 82TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 7th
The FDA guidance provides specific criteria and recommendations on the submission of pharmacogenomic data in connection with Investigational New Drug Applications, New Drug Applications and Biological License Applications. Before any company or individual can treat a single human patient with a new chemical entity, often referred to as a NCE, or a new biological entity, referred to as a NBE, scientists must first prove that the potential drug is safe within existing treatment regimes. For example, new chemical entities used to treat cancer might be allowed to be much more toxic to other cells in the body than would a treatment for other less lethal diseases. Scientists file for permission to the FDA to treat human patients and package all the information into an application with the FDA called the `Investigational New Drug Application' or IND. The draft FDA guidance includes information on the type of data needed and how the FDA will or will not use such data in regulatory decisions. The FDA asked for voluntary submissions of research information in order to gain experience as the field of pharmacogenomics evolves. In addition, the FDA held a workshop in November 2003 to discuss its draft guidance and stated that the agency plans in the near future to issue final guidance on the co-development of a pharmacogenomic test and drug. Our success will depend, in part, on how rapidly the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry implements the guidance and, accordingly, the validity of our test and services as a basis for identifying genomic variation and for correlating drug response with genomic variation. Without this implementation by the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry, we may be unable to market effectively any test we may have as well as any of our services, and we may not generate sufficient revenue to sustain our operations. PUBLIC OPINION ON ETHICAL ISSUES RELATED TO THE CONFIDENTIALITY AND APPROPRIATE USE OF GENETIC TESTING COULD REDUCE THE POTENTIAL MARKETS FOR OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, WHICH COULD PREVENT US FROM GENERATING SUFFICIENT REVENUE TO SUSTAIN OUR OPERATIONS. Public opinion on ethical issues related to the confidentiality and appropriate use of genetic testing results may influence governmental authorities to call for limits on, or regulation of the use of, genetic testing. In addition, governmental authorities or other entities may call for limits on, or regulation of the use of genetic testing or prohibit testing for genetic predisposition to certain conditions, particularly for those that have no known cure. The occurrence of any of these events could reduce the potential markets for our products and services, which could prevent us from generating sufficient revenue to sustain our operations. For example, the FDA has approved a medication for use in African Americans called BilDil that was developed by a pharmaceutical company called NitroMed. Recently, articles have appeared accusing the FDA and NitroMed of `racial discrimination' and claiming that no drugs should be developed using genetic testing that might separate out individuals by `race, color or creed' without regard to the benefit which might be caused for the African American patient. According to such critics, the potential harm in the form of increased discrimination far outweighs the benefits. Several noteworthy genetic scientists have also voiced their opinions that our technology and technologies similar to those developed by NitroMed and others are discriminating and should not be developed or approved by the Federal, State or local governments. IF WE DO NOT SUCCESSFULLY DISTINGUISH AND COMMERCIALIZE OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, WE WILL NOT ATTRACT A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS. ACCORDINGLY, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY WITH OUR COMPETITORS OR GENERATE REVENUE SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN OUR OPERATIONS. Numerous entities are attempting to identify genomic variation predictive of specific diseases and drug response and to develop products and services based on these discoveries. We face competition in these areas from pharmaceutical, biotechnology and diagnostic companies, academic and research institutions and government and other publicly-funded agencies, both in the United States and abroad, most of which have substantially greater capital resources, research and development staffs, facilities, manufacturing and marketing experience, distribution channels and human resources than do we. Also, large pharmaceutical companies have their own internal research and development efforts that could surpass or eliminate our technology from the market. One of our key competitors is PPGx, Inc., a leading international developer and supplier of research-based pharmacogenomics services and products which recently announced the launch of its GeneTrials(TM) Bioinformatics Platform. Our competitors may discover, characterize or develop important technologies applying genomics that are more effective than those technologies which we develop. Additionally, these competitors may obtain regulatory approvals for their drugs and diagnostics more rapidly than we do, which could limit our ability to market effectively our products and services. If our patent applications are not awarded or if our competitors in the field of genetic research develop and receive approval of patents that supersede our applications, we could be forced to cease the development of our products, services and technologies. 4
SB-28th “Page” of 82TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
Some companies and governments are marketing or developing a number of databases and informatics tools to assist participants in the healthcare industry and academic researchers in the management and analysis of genomic data. "Informatics tools" is a term used by scientists to describe software, computer programs or mathematical programs that analyze data sets or collected information that is stored in data files. Such computer programs can take an apparently meaningless block of numbers that are recorded from a laboratory experiment and evaluate trends, look for statistical relationships and group or segregate the numbers according to their levels of importance to the scientist. Our competitors have developed or plan to develop databases containing gene sequence, genomic variation or other genomic information and are marketing or plan to market their data to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies or plan to make freely available their databases. WE ALSO FACE SERIOUS COMPETITION FROM COMPETITORS IN THE FORENSIC DNA TESTING MARKET, CONSUMER DNA PRODUCTS MARKET AND THE CONTRACT SERVICES OUTSOURCING MARKETS. AND IF WE ARE UNABLE TO COMPETE IN THESE MARKETS, WE WILL NOT GENERATE REVENUES SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN OUR OPERATIONS. We remain skeptical that the consumer market for our products, which is mainly supported by genealogy enthusiasts, will remain strong enough to justify significant expenditures to develop new products. It is possible that the application of genetic testing to genealogy is a passing fad and that public interest in genetic genealogy testing will substantially decrease. If public interest decreases, our revenues generated from our products sold to the consumer market will likely decrease. ALTHOUGH MANY OF OUR COMPETITORS USE SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES, THEIR APPROACH TO DATA ANALYSIS MIGHT BE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AND MORE EFFICIENT THAN OURS. THIS MAY CAUSE CONSUMERS TO CHOOSE OUR COMPETITOR'S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OVER OURS AND FORCE US TO CHANGE OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TO THE MORE EFFICIENT FORM OF DATA ANALYSIS OF OUR COMPETITORS. We evaluate the mixture of genetic inheritance within individuals and relate that information to biological information. Another approach to finding similar information is to evaluate large groups of individuals in `pools' of DNA and look for differences or similarities amongst the data. Our approach may prove to be too cumbersome for the industry to adopt, and the industry may not want to accept it because it is `too personal', meaning that overall `generic' descriptors might be more immediately valuable to the industry than knowing whether or not a single individual will respond favorably to a medication treatment. The `pooled' approach is more often the approach that many pharmaceutical companies and our competitors practice. Additionally, our technology depends upon looking at individuals within a population pool and therefore projecting the results of many individual samples upon a general population that may not be clearly identified. Our competitors rely upon self-reporting descriptors such as `African American', `Caucasian' or `Hispanic' to pool their DNA samples. We do not presuppose the reported identity of an individual but rather look at their inherited genetic markers that tell us what group to associate them with. This approach may not be accepted by the industry and a pooled method, although not as accurate, may become the standard. This would significantly impact our ability to promote, sell, license of further develop our products, services or technologies within any of our current markets. WE HAVE HAD LOSSES SINCE OUR INCEPTION WHICH MAY NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO ACHIEVE OUR BUSINESS OBJECTIVES. WE MAY NEVER BE ABLE TO REDUCE THESE LOSSES, WHICH WILL REQUIRE US TO SEEK ADDITIONAL DEBT OR EQUITY FINANCING THAT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE TO US. We incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on January 3, 1983 as Lexington Energy, Inc. We have incurred losses and experienced negative operating cash flow since our formation. For the year ended December 31, 2005, we had a net loss of $8,715,852 and a working capital deficit of $7,577,917. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses. Our operating expenses have been and are expected to continue to outpace revenues and result in significant losses in the near term. We may never be able to reduce these losses, which will require us to seek additional debt or equity financing. If such financing is available, you may experience significant additional dilution. WE CONTINUE TO BE A DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE ENTERPRISE COMPANY AND WE DO NOT KNOW WHEN OUR PHARMACOGENOMICS PRODUCTS WILL FINISH THEIR DEVELOPMENT. We continue to devote substantially all of our efforts to establishing our business products, and our principal operations have not commenced yet. We are still in the research and development phase of our pharmacogenomics product/services and have a few years prior to any of these products being developed. OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS HAVE EXPRESSED DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN, WHICH MAY HINDER OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN FUTURE FINANCING. 5
SB-29th “Page” of 82TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
In their report dated February 24, 2006, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. The auditors raised concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of recurring losses from operations, a working capital deficit, and our need for a significant amount of capital financing to proceed with our business plan. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities, increasing sales or obtaining loans and grants from various financial institutions where possible. WE NEED IMMEDIATE FUNDS AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ANY ADDITIONAL FINANCING IN THE AMOUNTS OR AT THE TIMES THAT WE MAY REQUIRE THE FINANCING. ADDITIONALLY IF WE OBTAIN FINANCING, IT MAY NOT BE ON ACCEPTABLE TERMS. WE WILL HAVE TO CURTAIL OUR BUSINESS IF WE CANNOT FIND ADEQUATE FUNDING. We may need immediate funds and may not be able to obtain any additional financing in the amounts or at the times that we may require the financing or, if we do obtain any financing, that it would be on acceptable terms because of the following: - we have limited assets to pledge as security for the loan; - we are in poor financial condition; and - we may be viewed as a high market risk. In addition, we have entered into an Investment Agreement with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, II, L.P. Dutchess has committed to purchase our common stock on a monthly basis up to an aggregate purchase price of $35 million over a two-year period. The Dutchess Agreement requires us to put stock to Dutchess each time we raise funds. If Dutchess were to sell the stock we put to them, it will likely have a depressive effect on the market price of our common stock. This decrease in our market price may hinder our ability to obtain necessary funding from certain sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities or obtaining loans and grants from various financial institutions where possible. Our failure to obtain sufficient additional financing could result in the delay or abandonment of some or all of our development, expansion and expenditures, which could harm our business and the value of our common stock. WE MAY NOT HAVE ADEQUATE PATENT PROTECTION AND CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS FOR OUR PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY. IF WE DO NOT PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, THERE IS A RISK THAT THEY WILL BE INFRINGED UPON OR THAT OUR TECHNOLOGY INFRINGES UPON ONE OF OUR COMPETITOR'S PATENTS. AS A RESULT, WE MAY EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF REVENUE AND OUR OPERATIONS MAY BE MATERIALLY HARMED. To the extent possible, we anticipate filing patent applications for protection on future products that we develop. It is possible that patents we apply for may not be issued and that any current or future patents will not afford us commercially significant protection of our products or that we will not have adequate resources to enforce our patents. Inasmuch as we intend to sell our products in foreign markets, we also intend to seek foreign patent protection for our products and technologies. The patent laws of other countries may differ from those of the United States as to patentability of our products and technologies, and the degree of protection afforded. Our products may infringe on the patents of others, and we may not have the financial or other resources necessary to successfully defend a claim of violation of proprietary rights. We also rely on confidentiality and nondisclosure arrangements with our employees and entities we do business with. These agreements may not provide us with meaningful protection. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RETAIN THE SERVICES OF MESSRS. RICHARD GABRIEL, TONY FRUDAKIS AND HECTOR GOMEZ, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS. Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of Mr. Richard Gabriel, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Tony Frudakis, our Founder and Chief Scientific Officer, and Dr. Hector Gomez, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Medical Officer. We have employment agreements in place with Messrs. Gabriel, Frudakis, and Gomez. We do not maintain key-man insurance on the lives of Messrs. Gabriel, Frudakis, and Gomez. If Messrs. Gabriel, Frudakis, and Gomez were to resign, the loss could result in loss of sales, delays in new product development and diversion of management resources, and we could face high costs and substantial difficulty in hiring qualified successors and could experience a loss in productivity while any such successor obtains the necessary training and experience. In addition, in order to successfully implement and manage our business plan, we are dependent upon, among other things, successfully recruiting qualified personnel who are familiar with the specific issues facing the deciphering of complex genetic traits. In particular, we must hire and retain experienced management personnel to help us continue to grow and manage our business, and skilled genetic technicians to further our research and development efforts. Competition for qualified personnel is intense. If we do not succeed in attracting new personnel or in retaining and motivating our current personnel, our business could be harmed. 6

RISKS RELATING TO THIS OFFERING AND OUR COMMON STOCK OUR COMMON STOCK IS SUBJECT TO "PENNY STOCK" RULES OF THE SEC AND THE TRADING MARKET IN OUR STOCK IS LIMITED, WHICH MAKES TRANSACTIONS IN OUR STOCK CUMBERSOME AND MAY REDUCE THE VALUE OF AN INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: - that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and - the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: - obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and - make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: - sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and - that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. In addition, unless you have had an account with your brokerage firm for more than one year, or you have previously bought three different penny stocks from that firm, your brokerage firm must send you a written statement for you to sign that accurately describes your financial situation, your investment experience, and your investment goals, and that contains a statement of why your firm decided that penny stocks are a suitable investment for you. The firm also must get your written consent to buy the penny stock. If penny stocks are sold to you in violation of federal or state securities laws, you may be able to cancel your purchase and get your money back. If the stocks are sold in a fraudulent manner, you may be able to sue the persons and firms that caused the fraud for damages. If you have signed an arbitration agreement, however, you may have to pursue your claim through arbitration. WE MAY NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT SHARES AVAILABLE TO FULLY ACCESS THE EQUTIY LINE WITH DUTCHESS AND MAY NEED TO SEEK ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO MEET OUR WORKING CAPITAL NEEDS. We may only issue a put to Dutchess if we have registered the shares of common stock. This prospectus is registering 600,000,000 shares of common stock that we may issue pursuant to the equity line if the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC. As of March 31 2006 we have already issued 165,794,892 shares pursuant to prior registration statements. We have assumed that we will not issue more than 600,000,000 shares in addition to the 362,500,000 we already registered pursuant to the exercise of our put right under the Investment Agreement, although the number of shares that we will actually issue pursuant to that put right may be more than or less than 600,000,000, depending on the trading price of our common stock. On April 4, 2006, the closing price of our common stock was $0.022. Assuming we issue puts only at $0.022, we would be able to access approximately $13 million of our equity line pursuant to the Investment Agreement. We currently have no intent to exercise the put right in a manner that would require us to register more shares in addition to the 600,000,000 shares we are currently registering, but if we were to exercise the put right in that manner, we would be required to file a subsequent registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and for that registration statement to be deemed effective prior to the issuance of any such additional shares. 7

If we can not raise sufficient funds pursuant to our Investment Agreement with Dutchess, for our capital requirements, we will need to seek additional funding which may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. DUTCHESS MAY SHORT SELL OUR STOCK DURING THE PERIODS WE ISSUE A PUT WHICH MAY CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO DECREASE. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Dutchess has the right to short sell the amount of stock we expect to issue to them during the period we issue a put. If Dutchess actually sells our stock short, our stock price may decrease. If our stock price decreases, you may lose some or all of your investment. EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS MAY EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT DILUTION FROM THE SALE OF SECURITIES PURSUANT TO OUR INVESTMENT AGREEMENT WITH DUTCHESS. The sale of shares pursuant to our Investment Agreement with Dutchess will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. As a result, our net income per share, if any, could decrease in future periods, and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price at the time we exercise our put option, the more shares we will have to issue to Dutchess to draw down on the full equity line with Dutchess. If our stock price decreases, then our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution. DUTCHESS WILL PAY LESS THAN THE THEN-PREVAILING MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK, WHICH MAY CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO DECLINE. The common stock to be issued under our agreement with Dutchess will be purchased at a 4% discount to the average of the two lowest closing bid prices of our common stock during the five trading days after our notice to Dutchess of our election to exercise our put right. These discounted sales could cause the price of our common stock to decline and you may not be able to sell our stock for more than you paid for it. OUR STOCK PRICES HAVE BEEN VOLATILE AND THE FUTURE MARKET PRICE FOR OUR COMMON STOCK IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE TO BE VOLATILE. FURTHER, THE LIMITED MARKET FOR OUR SHARES WILL MAKE OUR PRICE MORE VOLATILE. THIS MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO SELL OUR COMMON STOCK FOR A POSITIVE RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT. The public market for our common stock has historically been very volatile. Any future market price for our shares is likely to continue to be very volatile. This price volatility may make it more difficult for you to sell shares when you want at prices you find attractive. We do not know of any one particular factor that has caused volatility in our stock price. However, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies. Broad market factors and the investing public's negative perception of our business may reduce our stock price, regardless of our operating performance. Further, the market for our common stock is limited and a larger market may never develop or be maintained. Market fluctuations and volatility, as well as general economic, market and political conditions, could reduce our market price. As a result, this may make it difficult or impossible for you to sell our common stock. USE OF PROCEEDS This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by Dutchess. We will not receive proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in this offering. However, we will receive the proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock to Dutchess under the Investment Agreement. The purchase price of the shares purchased under the Investment Agreement will be equal to 96% of the average of the two lowest closing bid prices of our common stock for the five days immediately following the date of our notice of election to exercise our put. For illustrative purposes, we have set forth below our intended use of proceeds for the range of net proceeds indicated below to be received under the Investment Agreement. The Gross Proceeds represent the total dollar amount that Dutchess is obligated to purchase. On April 4, 2006, the closing price of our common stock was $0.022. Assuming we issue puts only at $0.022, we would be able to access approximately $13 million of our equity line pursuant to the Investment Agreement. Although the Investment Agreement allows us to access $35 million, we have assumed proceeds of approximately $13 million based on the number of shares we have registered and our recent stock price. The table assumes estimated offering expenses of $25,000. [Enlarge/Download Table] Proceeds Proceeds If 100% Sold If 50% Sold ------------- ------------ Gross Proceeds $13,200,000 $6,600,000 Estimated Expenses of the Offering $25,000 $25,000 Brokers fee $528,000 $264,000 ------------- ------------ Net Proceeds $12,647,000 $6,311,000 ============= ============ Priority Priority ------------- ------------ Working capital and general corporate expenses 1st $5,847,000 $1,011,000 Notes payable 2nd $3,800,000 $3,800,000 Expansion of internal operations and certifications 3rd $2,000,000 $1,000,000 Potential acquisition costs 4th $1,000,000 $500,000 ------------- ------------ $12,647,000 $6,311,000 ============= ============ Proceeds of the offering which are not immediately required for the purposes described above will be invested in United States government securities, short-term certificates of deposit, money market funds and other high-grade, short-term interest-bearing investments. DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE The selling stockholders may sell shares from time to time in negotiated transactions, brokers transactions or a combination of such methods at market prices prevailing at the time of the sale or at negotiated prices. DILUTION Our negative net tangible book value as of December 31, 2005 was $4,363,342 or ($0.018) per share of common stock. Net tangible book value is determined by dividing our tangible book value (total tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. Since this offering is being made solely by the selling stockholders and none of the proceeds will be paid to us, our net tangible book value will be unaffected by this offering. Our net tangible book value, will be impacted by the common stock to be issued to Dutchess. The amount of dilution will depend on the offering price and number of shares to be issued. The following example shows the dilution to new investors at an offering price of $0.022 per share. If we assume that we were to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock to Dutchess at an assumed offering price of $0.022 per share, less $88,000 of offering expenses, our negative net tangible book value as of December 31, 2005 would have been $2,251,342, or ($0.006) per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value to existing shareholders of $0.012 per share and an immediate dilution to new shareholders of $0.028 per share. Assumed public offering price per share $0.022 Net tangible book value per share before this offering ($0.018) Net tangible book value after this offering ($2,251,342) Net tangible book value per share after this offering ($0.007) Dilution of net tangible book value per share to new Investors $0.028 Increase in net tangible book value per share to existing shareholders $0.012. You should be aware that there is an inverse relationship between our stock price and the number of shares to be issued under the Investment Agreement to Dutchess. That is, as our stock price declines, we would be required to issue a greater number of shares under the Investment Agreement for a given advance. This inverse relationship is demonstrated by the table below, which shows the number of shares to be issued under the Investment Agreement at a price of $0.022 per share per share and 25%, 50% and 75% discounts to that price. 8

The information provided in the table and discussions below has been obtained from the selling stockholders.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The selling stockholder will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling stockholders may sell the shares from time to time: - in transactions on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or on any national securities exchange or U.S. inter-dealer system of a registered national securities association on which our common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; or - in private transactions and transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; or 9

- at prices related to such prevailing market prices, or - in negotiated transactions, or - in a combination of such methods of sale; or - any other method permitted by law. The selling stockholder may effect such transactions by offering and selling the shares directly to or through securities broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom the selling stockholders may sell as principal, or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Dutchess, Athena Capital Partners, Inc. and any broker-dealers who act in connection with the sale of its shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discounts, concessions or commissions received by them and profit on any resale of the shares as principal may be deemed to be underwriting discounts, concessions and commissions under the Securities Act. On or prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement to which this prospectus is a part, we will advise the selling stockholders that they and any securities broker-dealers or others who may be deemed to be statutory underwriters will be governed by the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act. Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act, any person engaged in a distribution of any of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable period under Regulation M prior to the commencement of such distribution. In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the selling security owners will be governed by the applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including without limitation Rules 10b-5 and Regulation M, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by the selling stockholders. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of our securities. On or prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement to which this prospectus is a part, we will advise the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling security owners and any of their affiliates. We have informed the selling stockholders that they may not: - engage in any stabilization activity in connection with any of the shares; - bid for or purchase any of the shares or any rights to acquire the shares, - attempt to induce any person to purchase any of the shares or rights to acquire the shares other than as permitted under the Securities Exchange Act; or - effect any sale or distribution of the shares until after the prospectus shall have been appropriately amended or supplemented, if required, to describe the terms of the sale or distribution. We have informed the selling stockholder that it must effect all sales of shares in broker's transactions, through broker-dealers acting as agents, in transactions directly with market makers, or in privately negotiated transactions where no broker or other third party, other than the purchaser, is involved. The selling stockholder may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Any commissions paid or any discounts or concessions allowed to any broker-dealers, and any profits received on the resale of shares, may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act if the broker-dealers purchase shares as principal. In the absence of the registration statement to which this prospectus is a part, certain of the selling stockholder would be able to sell its shares only pursuant to the limitations of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. 10

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On October 27, 2003, we filed suit in the Circuit Court of the Twelfth Judicial Circuit of Florida in and for Sarasota County, Florida, Civil Division moving for an emergency order requiring impoundment of any and all computers and associated materials of one of our former employees. On October 28, 2003, the Circuit Court Judge granted the order. The order was carried out on the same day. Our Complaint alleges that a former employee inappropriately took confidential company materials and then disclosed or threatened to disclose the information. The Complaint seeks return of the property, a permanent injunction against further and future disclosures by the former employee, attorney's fees and related costs. On December 19, 2003, the former employee filed an Answer, Affirmative Defenses, and Counterclaim with the Court generally denying the allegations of our claim. In addition, the Defendant counterclaimed and sued us for breach of an Employment Agreement, based on a purported failure to pay certain health benefits, and stock options. On January 9, 2004, the Court granted our Motion to Inspect, Examine and Download Information from the Impounded Computer, subject to certain limitations designed to protect the confidentiality of any information contained on the computer. The Defendant withdrew his objection to our review of documents downloaded from his seized home computer. Based upon our review of the documents and report, we advised the Court that we believed these documents contained our confidential, proprietary and trade secret information. At that time the Court ordered a preliminary mediation to discuss resolution of the matter. We participated in the mediation, but did not reach a resolution with the Defendant. Therefore, we are proceeding with discovery. On July 8, 2005, a former consultant of ours, Lonnie Bookbinder, filed suit in the Circuit Court of the Twelfth Judicial Circuit of Florida in and for Sarasota County, Florida, Civil Division. The complaint, styled Bookbinder v. DNAPrint Genomics, Inc., Richard Gabriel, Hector Gomez and GenBiomics, LLC, names as defendants us, along with two of our directors and a dissolved limited liability company in which two of our directors were members. The complaint sought damages arising out of services Mr. Bookbinder claims to have provided on our behalf. We deny any liability to Mr. Bookbinder. We filed and prevailed on a Motion to Dismiss the complaint because we believed it did not state a claim. Plaintiff then filed an Amended Complaint. We have a Motion to Dismiss pending on the same grounds as that previously filed. If our Motion to Dismiss is unsuccessful, we intend to defend the litigation vigorously. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS Our directors are elected at our annual meetings by a plurality of the shares represented and our officers serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors.

She has an understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements and has the ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves.

She has an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and an understanding of audit committee functions. Because of her positions as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Tamborini is not "independent" with respect to the Company.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES AUTHORIZED CAPITAL Our total number of our authorized shares of common stock is 1,500,000,000 with a par value of $.01 per share. Additionally, we are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of which 50,000 are designated Series A. COMMON STOCK The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of any assets of the Corporation legally available therefore, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive the assets of the Corporation in accordance with the provisions of the by laws. The common stock is not redeemable. The holder of each share of Common Stock shall have the right to one vote, and shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation, and shall be entitled to vote upon such matters and in such manner as may be provided by law. There shall be no cumulative voting. PREFERRED STOCK Each holder of a share of Series A preferred stock has the right to one vote for each share of common stock into which such holder's shares of Series A preferred stock could then be converted. The Series A preferred stock holders have the right to convert on the first day of the month after the month in which a registration statement (other than a registration statement on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor form thereto) filed by DNAP with the Securities and Exchange Commission becomes effective. The other conversion dates are the first day of the fourth, seventh and a tenth month after the month in which such registration statement becomes effective. If on any conversion date, the conversion price would be less than $0.025 per share, we may elect to defer the conversion date to the first day of the next month. If, on such deferred conversion date, the conversion price would be less than $0.025 per share, we may again defer the conversion date to the first day of the next month. Upon such second deferred conversion date, the Series A preferred stock shall be converted without further deferral. Such conversion shall be effected at our office or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the original Series A preferred stock issue price by the conversion price applicable to such share, determined as hereafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The conversion price is the lesser of (i) eighty percent (80%) of the average of the five lowest daily volume weighted average prices of our common stock during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the conversion date, or (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the closing price of our common stock on the trading day prior to the conversion date. Each share of Series A preferred stock not previously converted shall automatically be converted, without the payment of additional consideration, into shares of common stock at the conversion price, as applicable, in effect on the date of and immediately prior to the last conversion date described above.

INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL No expert or counsel will receive a direct or indirect interest in the small business issuer or was a promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer, or employee of DNAPrint, Inc. Nor does any such expert or counsel have any contingent based agreement with us or any other interest in or connection to us. DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES Our Articles of Incorporation eliminate liability of our directors and officers for breaches of fiduciary duties as directors and officers, except to the extent otherwise required by the Utah Revised Statutes and except where the breach involves intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS HISTORY We initially incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on January 3, 1983 as Lexington Energy, Inc. and subsequently changed our focus to human genome sciences. In connection with this change in focus, on July 15, 2000, we acquired DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. through the issuance of 9,600,000 shares of our common stock. After the acquisition, we focused on the discovery and development of our TruLine products - TruSeq , SNiPscan and TruSpin . We actively engaged in human identification analysis and used our proprietary TruLine products to reduce the cost of producing a genetic profile to less than 50% of the standard price. Our strategy was to sell our proprietary reagent to geneticists at universities, hospitals and commercial laboratories working on genotyping projects. The reagent kit was designed to save researchers money in reagent costs. Companies that sold the reagents, however, made advances in their own reagents, which lowered the cost and ultimately negated the benefit of using our products. The technology was thus abandoned. In 2001, Dr. Tony Frudakis, our founder, teamed with other scientists to conduct research to develop new genomics products with consumer, forensic and pharmacogenomics applications. However, lack of funding limited the amount of research conducted. We implemented cost cutting measures to conserve cash. In spite of these hardships; we were able to continue our research and development efforts on a reduced and limited basis throughout most of 2002 and 2003. During 2002, our Board of Directors began a search for new leadership. After a search for a new CEO/President, Mr. Richard Gabriel agreed to accept the position without requiring immediate cash compensation. Because we did not have cash available to pay Mr. Gabriel's salary, he agreed to enter into an employment contract for one year that granted him 1,500,000 shares of our stock in lieu of immediate cash compensation. As CEO /President, Mr. Gabriel agreed to seek additional executive management, particularly a Chief Financial Officer, a Chief Operating Officer and a Chief Medical Officer and to locate a firm to represent us in raising investment capital sufficient to build and sustain the business over the next 2-3 years. Mr. Gabriel and the new management team successfully completed these goals. Mr. Gabriel hired our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, Monica Tamborini, and our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Hector J. Gomez. In May of 2003, Mr. Gabriel also convinced Ms. Tamborini and Dr. Gomez to agree to work initially without requiring immediate cash compensation. They agreed to enter into employment contracts with us for one year in return for stock grants of 1,000,000 and 1,250,000 shares respectively. With executive management in place, we next developed a strategic plan to achieve our short term goal of securing financing and our longer term goals of growth and stability. Where prior management saw partnering and licensing arrangements as the way to success, new management's view was that growth would occur with proven success. Management has emphasized demonstrating that our current products are viable, and management believes the shortest path to that goal is through concentrating our initial sales efforts on the consumer and forensic markets. While we expect pharmacogenomics products to outperform other market products in the long run, their introduction to market has a longer time horizon and requires larger investments of time, personnel and capital before they produce revenue and generate cash flow. 14

Management sought investment bankers to represent us in our search for financing. In April 2003, we engaged an investment banking firm to assist us in our efforts to raise debt and/or equity capital. In December 2003, we successfully agreed to place $8,000,000 of our securities over approximately a 20-month period. Prior to completing this transaction, we had received funds from earlier private offerings. Together, these transactions gave us the critically required capital to fund our ongoing operations until our new financing was in place. In addition to the previously raised capital, management sought additional capital to fund expansion and acquisitions. Along with our investment bankers, we secured a commitment from Dutchess Private Equity Partners, LLC for the sum of $35 Million over a 24-month period. We also negotiated to acquire a stake in Biofrontera, a privately held German Biotechnology company. Mr. Richard Gabriel and Ms. Monica Tamborini are common, non-voting shareholders of less than 1% combined ownership in Biofrontera AG. Mr. Gabriel was made aware of the opportunity to invest in Biofrontera AG and presented it to our Board of Directors and was given instructions to proceed with the investment opportunity. Effective September 28, 2004, we agreed to acquire a majority interest in Biofrontera AG over a 24-month period for a purchase price of 20 million Euros. Prior to the closing of the transaction, however, we concluded that proceeding with the proposed acquisition was not in our best interest. Therefore, we terminated the Biofrontera agreement on February 18, 2005. On July 8, 2005, we entered into an agreement to purchase, and simultaneously closed upon the purchase of, an equity interest in Biofrontera. We purchased the interest in Biofrontera from Technologie-Beteiligungs-Gesellschaft mbH, an instrumentality of the German government. The securities purchased were shares of Biofrontera's series A Preferred Stock, as well as certain debt instruments. On August 8, 2005, we converted the securities purchased into Biofrontera's common stock. We paid approximately 1.8 million Euros ($2.1 million) for our interest in Biofrontera. On September 19, 2005, we paid an additional 98,245 Euros ($121,000) for an additional 98,145 shares of Biofrontera common stock increasing our ownership of Biofrontera to approximately 18%. In connection with the transaction, two of the members of our Board of Directors, Richard Gabriel and Hector Gomez, were retained on the Biofrontera board. In addition, to induce the shareholders of Biofrontera to consent to our investment in Biofrontera, we entered into a put agreement with another Biofrontera shareholder, Heidelberg Innovation. Pursuant to this agreement, if by December 31, 2005 Biofrontera had not completed an offering of debt securities for at least 10 million Euro, Heidelberg Innovation could have required us to purchase its ownership interest in Biofrontera of approximately 49% for 1.6 million Euro (approximately $1.96 million). During September 2005, Biofrontera completed its debt securities offering. Therefore, our put obligation to Heidelberg Innovation was terminated. At that time, the board seat previously held by Hector Gomez was filled by a representative of the debt securities group. In March 2006, Biofrontera announced that it intends to undertake a public offering of equity securities during 2006-2007. We acquired Trace Genetics late in the second quarter of 2005. Trace Genetics brought two new complementary technologies to our autosomal testing for determining the percentage of a person's ancestry: Y-chromosome testing for tracing ancestry by following the direct paternal line and mitochondrial (mtDNA ) testing for the direct maternal line. Trace also maintains one of the largest Native American mtDNA databanks in North America. Other similarly large databases are controlled by groups such as the Sorensen foundation, various Native American foundations and tribes, and some Universities. On October 12, 2005, we formed DNAPrint Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a wholly-owned pharmaceutical subsidiary focused on personalized medicine. On October 25, 2005, we acquired all of the stock of Kenna Technologies, Inc. Kenna develops software and related technologies for building computational models that mimic complex biological systems. We expect that Kenna's computational models will become key components for our development of more effective therapies and diagnostic products. In acquiring Kenna, we also gain access to Kenna's BoneFusion and CellCycleFusion models, which simulate bone remodeling processes and molecular pathways. These pathways are common targets of current cancer therapies. We exchanged 1,500,000 shares of our common stock for all the outstanding shares of Kenna. In addition, we hired certain key employees of Kenna, including Drs. Barbara Handelin and Tandy Herren, who will support the clinical development of our pharmacogenomics products with simulations to help design optimal clinical trials. On November 30, 2005, we acquired certain assets used in the drug and diagnostic discovery business of Toronto-based Ellipsis Biotherapeutics Corporation. We formed a wholly-owned Canadian company, also named Ellipsis Biotherapeutics Corporation to operate these assets. Ellipsis performed contract SNP genotyping for academic centers, hospitals, human health care corporations and biotech companies. Its diverse services include human, plant and animal analyses. 15
SB-219th “Page” of 82TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 19th
The acquired assets consist of Ellipsis' operating assets, including genotyping equipment, automated sample preparation devices, DNA preparation, measurement and amplification technologies, laboratory equipment, computers and office supplies related to these activities, the corporate premises, name and logo and certain intellectual property and committed contracts. We anticipate that the Ellipsis assets will assist with clinical genomics and genotyping. In consideration for the Ellipsis assets, we issued 6,500,000 shares of our common stock and assumed certain liabilities in the approximate amount of $600,000. Dr. Laurence Rubin has agreed to continue managing the operations in Toronto. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The primary objective of our near term research and development efforts in pharmacogenomics will be to expand our library of predictive drug response tests to include multiple therapeutic areas including commonly used FDA approved drug therapies. Although our products are diverse and address different market areas and needs, the base technology is the same. Research in one area often provides benefit to our other products. In 2004, we conducted research for enhancements to DNAWitness . The research included much needed sample collection for our eye and hair color studies. As a result of our past research, in early June of 2004, we introduced a new tool to our forensic customers. We compiled a volunteer photo database that we can use to help investigators visualize the DNA donor. This new tool augments the effectiveness of our product, DNAWitness . During the third quarter of 2004, we completed work on our eye color service, RETINOME , and EURO-DNA , a service that allows customers to determine their Northern European, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Indo European ancestry and introduced them to the market. We continue our research work on STATINOMETM and ace inhibitor projects. We also, in conjunction with researchers at the Moffitt Cancer Center, continue work on OVANOMETM and other identified cancer projects. We continue to evaluate and analyze our preliminary results and to extend those results to other patients' samples for Taxol, Statins, and Ace inhibitor work. Our work in forensics is continuing to expand the physical descriptors that can be derived from crime scene DNA samples. Our research also continued in hair color, skin shade, and we carried on work to improve our recently introduced eye color predictor model. Additionally, we continue to collect volunteer photo database samples and will incorporate those new samples into our forensic photo database array in the near future. During 2005, we began our work on EPO with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Dr. Arthur Sytkowski a director at Beth Israel. EPO is a glycoprotein naturally made by the body to stimulate red blood cell production; the currently marketed forms are manufactured using recombinant DNA technology and are used to treat anemia or low blood cell count. Also during 2005, we entered into an agreement with Dr. Mark Froimowitz to develop a series of methylphenidate analogs or Ritalin-like compounds targeting the clinical development of enhanced pharmaceuticals for the treatment of drug addiction, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and depression. STRATEGIC ALLIANCES Moffitt Cancer Center ----------------------- During 2006, our OVANOME technology is under development with researchers at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida, and we are in the midst of completing an initial 80 person trial under an approved Internal Review Board, or IRB, which approves all clinical trial related work at the center. We are also enrolling an additional 200 subjects to further validate and support the data we obtained in our earlier trial. Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center License Agreement ------------------------------------------------------------ Effective April 4, 2005, we entered into a license agreement with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a Massachusetts nonprofit corporation, to develop a new, more potent and longer acting form of the anemia drug Erythropoietin, or EPO. EPO is a glycoprotein naturally made by the body to stimulate red blood cell production. The currently marketed forms are manufactured using recombinant DNA technology and are used to treat anemia or low blood cell count. Under the agreement, Beth Israel has granted us an exclusive license to United States and foreign patents related to certain forms of EPO. We have the right to develop, use, market and sell products derived from the licensed patents. 16
SB-220th “Page” of 82TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 20th
In exchange for the license, we paid Beth Israel a $25,000 signing fee and agreed to make certain milestone payments linked to their progress in developing marketable products from the licensed technology. The total of payments, if all milestones are reached, is $2,150,000. The milestone payments are nonrefundable. Up to $200,000 of this amount is creditable against future royalties. In addition to the milestone payments, we must also pay Beth Israel an annual royalty of 4% of the net sales of all products developed from the licensed technology. A minimum royalty payment of $100,000 a year is due upon the commencement of commercial sales in any territory worldwide. Consulting Agreement with Dr. Arthur Sytkowski --------------------------------------------------- On June 7, 2005, we entered into a consulting agreement with Dr. Arthur Sytkowski, the Director of Beth Israel, to consult on the development of a new, more potent and longer acting form of EPO. On September 1, 2005, we entered into a new consulting agreement amending and restating the existing consulting agreement. Under the amended consulting agreement, Dr. Sytkowski has agreed to perform certain consulting services, including advising on medical, regulatory and patent issues, training personnel and providing assistance with EPO research and development. In exchange for the services, we will pay Dr. Sytkowski $10,000 a month for twelve months, five annual incentive payments of $25,000 each, and certain milestone payments linked to our progress under the Beth Israel license in developing marketable products from the licensed EPO technology. The total of all payments to Dr. Sytkowski under the agreement, assuming all milestones are reached, is $370,000. The milestone payments will be reduced - dollar for dollar - to the extent Dr. Sytkowski receives payments from Beth Israel relating to the same milestone events under the Beth Israel license. Collaborative Research Agreement with Beth Israel ------------------------------------------------------ During late June 2005, we entered into a collaborative research agreement with Beth Israel to provide three researchers to us to conduct certain research work related to our EPO research. On August 15, 2005, this agreement was amended. The total cost per the amended agreement is $352,192. We paid $176,096 during 2005 and the remaining $176,096 is due in 2006. Consultant Agreement with Member of Our Scientific Advisory Board ------------------------------------------------------------------------- During May 2005, we entered into a one-year agreement with our Scientific Advisory Board member, to continue collaboration with us to develop commercial tests for genetic ancestry and particular physical phenotypes. We have agreed to compensate this consultant with quarterly payments of $4,000 and 2,500 shares of our common stock. The term of this agreement is one year with automatic renewals each year unless either party provides written notice of its intent not to renew within thirty days prior to the annual anniversaries of this agreement. During May 2005, we also entered into a license agreement with this consultant. This license will remain in force in perpetuity as long as we are not in default of the agreement. We agreed to provide the consultant with a number of shares of our common stock equal to 2.5% of the net revenues derived from a product and any subsequent versions of the products developed with his help. License Agreement with Dr. Mark Froimowitz ----------------------------------------------- On October 25, 2005, we entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Dr. Mark Froimowitz to develop a series of compounds targeting the clinical development of enhanced pharmaceuticals for the treatment of drug addiction, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, and depression. The licensed compounds are analogs of Ritalin, a well-known drug used for treatment of ADHD. The analogs are designed specifically to have a slow onset and increased half-life in the bloodstream, thus reducing a patient's required daily dosage and the potential for drug abuse. We have the exclusive right to develop, use, market and sell products derived from the licensed compounds. We are obligated to pay the licensor a two percent quarterly royalty fee on the net sales of products covered by the license. Minimum annual maintenance fees of $25,000 are required for the license term, but will be deducted from royalties. Additionally, the license requires progress payments of up to $275,000 upon the successful development and approval of licensed products. The license's initial five year term is supplemented by options capable of extending the license term for up to twenty years. License Agreement with Harvard Medical School -------------------------------------------------- On January 24, 2006, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Harvard College through the Laboratory for Translational Research at Harvard Medical School. The Harvard License provides for sponsored research and the clinical development and commercialization of a diagnostic test targeting early identification of the population at risk of developing vascular diabetic complications. The research will be conducted under the supervision of Dr. Jose Halperin. The sponsored research payments total approximately $2.5 million and will be paid in quarterly installments of approximately $208,333 over approximately three years. 17
SB-221st “Page” of 82TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 21st
Under the Harvard License, we have the exclusive right to develop, market and sell products and services derived from the research. We must pay the Licensor a six percent royalty on the net sales of products and services covered by the License and thirty percent of all non-royalty sublicense income. We are also required to pay escalating minimum annual license maintenance fees totaling $850,000 through January 1, 2012. We are obligated to make annual license maintenance fees of $250,000 through the Harvard License term, but, beginning January 1, 2013, the annual license fee of $250,000 is credited against royalty payments. Additionally, we paid the Licensor previously incurred patent costs of approximately $100,000 upon the execution of the License, and are responsible for paying the costs associated with patent application, maintenance and prosecution during the License term. Research Sponsorship Agreement with Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sciences -------- In January 2006, we entered into a research sponsorship agreement with the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, under which Dr. Mark Froimowitz will lead a research project that relates to the compounds that we license from him. The area of research is the synthesis and testing of monoamine transporter inhibitors as possible human medications for drug abuse, for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and for depression. The specific research covered by this agreement is the synthesis of quantities of compounds sufficient for animal testing, including developing methods for the resolution or chiral synthesis of compounds. We will pay a total of $300,000 to Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences for this research work which will be paid in monthly installments of $25,000 over one year. We will acquire all intellectual property associated with the research results. THE PHARMACOGENOMICS MARKET A 1998 study of hospitalized patients published in the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that in 1994, adverse drug reactions accounted for more than 2.2 million serious cases and over 100,000 deaths, making adverse drug reactions (ADRs) one of the leading causes of hospitalization and death in the United States. As noted by Ross and Ginsburg in the American Journal of Clinical Pathology, "As many as 20% to 40% of people receiving pharmaceutical agents may be receiving the wrong drug." Currently, there is no simple way to determine whether people will respond well, badly, or not at all to a medication; therefore, pharmaceutical companies are limited to developing drugs using a "one size fits all" system. This system allows for the development of drugs to which the "average" patient will respond. However, as the statistics above show, one size does not fit all, sometimes with devastating results. As discussed at the March 11, 2006 American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics Conference by Janet Woodcock, M.D. Deputy Director of the FDA, the American medical system cannot afford to continue to ignore the obvious variability in how individuals respond to most drugs. There is increasing obligation for the pharmaceutical industry - and the regulatory oversight agencies - to use all available knowledge and technologies to accelerate the development of drugs that can be prescribed with better understanding of which patients can safely take which medicines that also will be effective treatment from them. Dr. Woodcock also said: "At the FDA, we currently see only a trickle of applications containing pharmacogenomic information, but we expect this trickle to become a flood over the next five years. And this is only good news for patients and their families. For the first time, physicians will have a chance to treat people as individuals, not as members of a "population." We will also be able to treat patients based on the actual biology of the disease--not just according to their symptoms. People often have similar symptoms, but actually have very different underlying diseases that need different treatments. The pharmacogenomics revolution gives us a chance to sort this out and to treat people with the kind of therapy that's appropriate for them, personally. This gives all of us the chance to fulfill the promise of all the discovery and all the investment in biological science that's been going on during the last 30 years. And it will really help and enhance the health of all Americans." Testing individuals to predict their genetic pre-disposition to drug response is known as pharmacogenomics. The term comes from the words pharmacology and genomics and is thus the intersection of pharmaceuticals and genetics. Pharmacogenomics enables physicians to tailor drug therapies (formulation and dosage) for individuals based on their genetic composition. By using predictive response genetic testing, rates of therapeutic success (known as treatment efficacy) are increased, and ADRs are decreased. Pharmacogenomics combines traditional pharmaceutical sciences such as biochemistry with annotated knowledge of genes, proteins and single nucleotide polymorphisms known as SNPs. According to Human Genome Project Information, Pharmacogenomics (www.ornl.gov/sci/techresources.Human_Genome/medicine/pharma.shtml), ------------------------------------------------- Pharmacogenomics is anticipated to provide the following benefits: 1. More powerful medicines that are targeted to specific diseases. This will maximize therapeutic effects and decrease damage to nearby healthy cells. 2. Better, safer drugs the first time by analyzing a patient's genetic code or important segments of the patient's code versus trial and error prescribing based on reviewing the impact of a drug after a patient takes it. 3. More accurate methods of determining appropriate drug doses not based only on a patient's weight or body mass but also based on the patient's metabolism. This will maximize the therapy's value and minimize the chance for overdose. 4. Improvements in the drug discovery and approval process because trials are targeted for specific genetic population groups providing a higher chance of success. This can reduce costs of trials and risk of poor side effects. Previously failed drug candidates might be revived if they can be matched appropriately with a specific population. 5. Decreases in overall cost of health care because of reduced ADRs, reduced failed drug trials, shortened FDA drug approval timeframes, limited treatment duration because the drug is more effective, linked to early detection and resulting in better preventative care. 18
SB-222nd “Page” of 82TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 22nd
The major barrier to pharmacogenomics progress is complexity of the research efforts that are still in early stages of finding gene variations that affect drug response. Millions of SNPs must be potentially identified and analyzed to see if they affect drug responsiveness. Additionally, many genes work in combination and thus, understanding the impact of combinations of SNPs will be critical. Unfortunately, this effort is also time consuming and expensive. In November 2003, the FDA issued "Guidance for Industry Pharmacogenomic Data Submissions." We believe that, in this guidance, the FDA offers support for pharmaceutical companies developing drugs using genetic testing and genomic research for drug approvals. Under the guidelines, if a genetic test is new or is not widely accepted, then its use is `voluntary' to the drug's submission. If a test is `validated and accepted' then the guidelines suggest its inclusion in the submission. In both cases, our products and services can provide a valuable tool for drug development. We can help identify patients who might not respond favorably to a new medication, either by failure to gain the intended treatment objective or by expression of an adverse reaction, and thus eliminate those patients from the treatment or clinical trial. This testing could improve the drug's efficacy statistics because there may be fewer non-responders in the trial and reduce its toxicity profile because there would be fewer individuals who have an adverse drug reaction. This testing may increase the likelihood that the drug meets FDA requirements and gains market approval. Our Pharmacogenomics Products At the annual shareholder meeting in June 2005, Dr Hector J. Gomez, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, announced that we will focus on leveraging our expertise in DNA technology into the development of particular test/drug combinations, called theranostics. Theranostics is defined as the clinically-targeted integration of diagnostics and therapeutics according to Current Drug discovery September 2002. We believe theranostics adds value to the clinical trial process, improves the real-time treatment of disease, and makes treatment more cost-effective. In October 2005, we created a new subsidiary, DNAPrint Pharmaceuticals, to focus on delivering diagnostic and theranostic products to the market in support of pharmacogenomic opportunities. We are developing several Theranostics Projects. The following table contains certain information on the status for our diagnostic products that are in development as of February 28, 2006: [Download Table] THERANOSTICS INDICATION DEVELOPMENT STAGE PT-401 . . . Anemia - Renal Failure Preclinical PT-501 . . . ADHD Preclinical PT-502 . . . Drug Addiction Preclinical PT-503 . . . Depression Preclinical PT-401 Anemia - Renal Failure: As announced on March 14, 2006, tests of our Super EPO dimer in animal models of anemia showed that it was several times more effective and longer acting than the currently available erythropoietin. In vitro testing in cell cultures revealed significant positive biological activity. In addition, in vivo testing in mice demonstrated robust stimulation of red blood cell production. Further analytical testing showed unique biochemical properties that distinguish it from currently marketed red blood cell growth stimulating drugs. PT-501 ADHD, PT-502 Drug Addiction, PT-501 Depression: In January 2006, we entered into a Research Sponsorship Agreement with the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences for the potential development of compounds as possible medications for drug abuse, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and depression. 19

Our Diagnostic Projects We currently have several diagnostic projects under development. The status as of February 2006 is as follows: [Download Table] DIAGNOSTICS . INDICATION DEVELOPMENT STAGE OVANOME . . . Ovarian Cancer Diagnostic Ph II STATINOME . . Safety of Statins Diagnostic Ph II DIABETES-CD59 Diabetic Complications Preclinical Ovanome: During 2005, we began a study with Genomics Collaborative Division of Seracare Life Sciences Inc. Samples have been received from them and used to conduct a validation of the test. This has advanced the development and improved the quality of the diagnostic test. Statinome: During 2005, we began a study with Genomics Collaborative Division of Seracare Life Sciences Inc. that also included the statinome program. Samples have been received from them and used to conduct a validation of the test. An abstract was presented at the last meeting of the American Society of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (March, 10, 2006 in Baltimore). Also, a paper has been prepared and submitted for publication. Diabetes C59: On January 24, 2006, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Harvard College through the Laboratory for Translational Research at Harvard Medical School. The Harvard License provides for sponsored research and the clinical development and commercialization of a diagnostic test targeting early identification of the population at risk of developing vascular diabetic complications. The research will be conducted under the supervision of Dr. Jose Halperin. Our Growth Strategies in the Pharmacogenomic Market By leveraging our proprietary technologies, we believe we are positioned to serve the growing compliance and operational needs of pharmaceutical companies and institutional researchers. We will continue to seek product and market relationships that expand and enhance our ability to apply our technology to existing medications or new medications, improving drug efficacy and reducing patient side effects by better understanding the genetic makeup of individuals. We believe the future of drug development and drug approval as outlined by recent FDA writings will force the industry to recognize smaller market opportunities with higher efficacy profiles and significantly reduced or diminished side effects. We will continue work on OVANOME(TM), a Taxol screening diagnostic test, and STATINOME(TM), a test for the cardiac drug market, which are both currently under development. Our OVANOME technology is under development with researchers at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida, and we are in the midst of completing an initial 80 person trial under an approved Internal Review Board, or IRB, which approves all clinical trial related work at the center. We are also enrolling an additional 200 subjects to further validate and support the data we obtained in our earlier trial. We will continue to explore joint venture opportunities, particularly within the pharmacogenomic segment, in order to potentially expand our position within the pharmaceutical market. A major goal of our joint venture program is to seek opportunities for a drug pipeline acquisition. Our recent licensing of a 'Super' Erythropoietin (EPO) molecule from Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital is a step forward in that direction. We plan to combine our ability to screen patients and track patient response to the standard form of EPO when compared to our newer, 'Super EPO'. We believe this will improve our clinical efficacy and reduce the unwanted side-effects of standard EPO treatment for anemia. THE FORENSICS MARKET Testing DNA from a crime scene to create a physical profile is a new market based on evolving technologies. Common hereditary traits such as skin pigmentation, eye color, hair color, earlobe attachment and height can theoretically be predicted through analysis of DNA sequences. We believe that we are the first to use DNA gathered as evidence from a crime scene to successfully predict the donor's continental genetic origin and linking that to our photo-database gallery, providing law enforcement officers with a general description of the donor. There are approximately 1,200,000 reported incidents of violent crime (rape, robbery, and aggravated assault) in the U.S. each year. In the vast majority of violent crimes, DNA evidence is left at a crime scene or on a victim's body. Of these 1.2 million reported incidents, only about 600,000 cases result in arrests. Forensic DNA tests can enable a greater degree of success in prosecuting violent criminals. 20

Our Products for the Forensics Market We created DNAWitness 2.5 for the forensics market. Law enforcement officers use this testing service to determine genetic heritage from DNA samples obtained from crime scenes, saving time and money by narrowing the list of potential suspects. Current forensic DNA products in the market act like a fingerprint and can only be used to match DNA specimens. To our knowledge, DNAWitness is the first forensic product that provides predictive capability. DNAWitness provides the percentage of genetic make up amongst the four possible groups of Sub-Saharan African, Native American, East Asian, and European. When appropriate, DNAWitness allows for a breakdown of the European ancestry into four components: Northwestern European, Southeastern European, Middle Eastern and South Asian. The results of these tests can be very useful for inferring certain elements of physical appearance. In 2005, DNAWitness was used in approximately 100 cases. The Louisiana Serial Killer Case was one case where the use of DNA Witness was considered a major contributor to identifying the killer who has since been convicted and sentenced. This case was featured at an educational workshop for law enforcement at the American Academy of Forensic Scientists in February 2006. Additionally, DNAWitness received national attention when police made an arrest in a case involving the double murder of two women in Napa, California, after narrowing down a list of potential suspects. The test eliminated an entire group of individuals who worked and lived in the Napa Valley area as potential suspects. Initial DNAWitness 2.5 customers include medical examiner's offices, special task forces, sheriffs' departments, and district attorney's offices from various cities. Initial response from preliminary application of this forensics version to various high profile criminal cases has been promising. During July 2005, we expanded our DNAWitnessTM product suite which now includes: DNAWitness 2.5 -- Tests crime scene DNA to assist detectives, forensic scientists and medical examiners in corroborating eyewitness reports and confirming suspect identities. DNAWitness 2.5 provides a BioGeographical Ancestry report that includes a photo database for reference samples of individuals. Reported ancestral origins are Sub-Saharan African, Native American, East Asian and Indo-European. EUROWitnessTM 1.0 -- Tests crime scene DNA to determine more specific geographic origins if the test sample ancestry is 50% or more Indo-European. EUROWitness 1.0 provides a BioGeographical Ancestry report that includes relative percentages of Northwest European, Southeast European, Middle Eastern or South Asian. RetinomeTM -- A predictive test for individual eye color from DNA. RETINOME predicts eye color if the sample is 50% or greater European ancestry as to whether eye color is blue, mostly blue, brown or mostly brown. A representative eye photo database is also provided along with relevant photo database pictures of the individual references. STR-WitnessTM -- A genetic "matching" used as a bar code to track and report the samples. STR-Witness is the same test used for determining an individual's identity from an available DNA sample. Crime labs run this test to screen the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) database for possible matches. DNAWitness-YTM -- A Y-chromosome test that determines the direct paternal ancestral lineage from the male sex chromosome. DNAWitness-Y can be used as an identification tool in cases where a mixture of male and female samples exists. DNAWitness-MitoTM -- A mitochondrial DNA test that examines ancestral lineages along the maternal line. DNAWitness-Mito can be used as an identification tool when other DNA testing fails to yield results or the DNA sample is too deteriorated. 21

Growth Strategy in Forensics We are investigating avenues to encourage federal, state and local governments, crime laboratories and law enforcement agencies to use DNAWitness to help solve cold cases, current serial killer cases and other violent crimes. By using DNAWitness on a routine basis, witness information can be corroborated, and where no witness is present, DNAWitness can provide a "fuzzy sketch" of the persons who left evidence at a crime scene, possibly reducing the cost and delay inherent to unguided investigation of a large pool of potential suspects Our 2006 and 2007 plans include seeking American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors or "ASCLD" accreditation of our laboratory for forensics work tied to court testimony. Once accredited, either through acquisition of another forensic operation or development of our own operation, we will also be able to offer conventional DNA testing to our clients. Accreditation would allow us to capture a greater portion of this market and to offer a full range of services to our clients. We continue to go to trade shows to increase the awareness of our products with the law enforcement community. THE CONSUMER PRODUCTS MARKET The consumer genealogy market is fueled by a natural desire to understand our family lineage and our genetic heritage. The total world market is currently estimated at $75 million and is expected to grow 5% annually. There is also a market for paternity and other tests related to family lineage. We serve both of these consumer markets through direct sales and independent distributors. Our Products for the Consumer Product Market We were one of the first companies to offer DNA tests that predict genetic heritage for this market. Additionally, to the best of our knowledge, we offer the only pan-chromosomal assay for genetic ancestry which provides information on a person's maternal and paternal lineages. Our genealogy product, ANCESTRYbyDNA 2.5, provides an inference of an individual's genetic ancestry or heritage. ANCESTRYbyDNA 2.5 carefully selects and analyzes certain genetic markers from the human genome which are more prevalent in people from one continent versus another. Using complex statistical algorithms, ANCESTRYbyDNA 2.5 can determine which of the major bio-geographical ancestry groups, Sub-Saharan African, European, East Asian or Native American, a person belongs. The genetic test can also determine the relative percentages of these ancestry groups which are present in cases of people of mixed background. We market this product to individuals or groups interested in understanding their lineage or learning more about their genetic ancestry. We introduced EURO-DNA 1.0 in the marketplace in late 2004. The EURO-DNA 1.0 product measures European sub-ancestry. "European" ancestry, as determined by ANCESTRYbyDNA 2.5, refers to a type of ancestry shared by people who derived from the Middle East some 50,000 years ago and spread to occupy Europe, the Middle East, parts of Eurasia and South Asia. EURO-DNA 1.0 breaks the European ancestry into 4 groups, reporting individuals' ancestral percentages for each of the following: Northwestern European, Southeastern European, Middle Eastern and South Asian. In June 2005, we acquired Trace Genetics, an identity genomics company located in Richmond California. The company had three ancestry tests that were added to our family of tests. They include: 1. "Ancestry Mito" mtDNA Test which traces the origin of the customer's direct maternal line (mother's mother's mother). There are 30 major maternal lineages (haplogroups) that have been identified worldwide. 2. Native American mtDNA test which tests the customer's mtDNA sequence against the Native American mtDNA database to see if we can make any tribal matches when the customer is one of 5 haplogroups that are Native American in origin. 3. "Ancestry-Y" SNP which traces the origin of the customer's direct paternal line (father's father's father). There are 18 major paternal lineages (haplogroups) that have been identified worldwide. Two of the 18 haplogroups are found in Native American populations (Q, C). This test includes these two haplogroups. Growth Strategy in Consumer Products We currently have seven distributors that sell our consumer products. We use our distributors as well as Internet and paper-based publication advertising (i.e. through Google and Family Tree magazine) to grow sales of our consumer products. Our consumer sales volumes seem to increase when we are featured in articles and television spots. We have been featured in multiple local and national publications and television programs. We will continue to strive to get the article and television spot coverage as well as pursue other avenues of marketing. Our consistent sales come through our distributors. We will also continue to pursue adding distributors to increase our sales volume of our consumer products. 22

THE CONTRACT SERVICE OUTSOURCING MARKET Contract genotyping is the process of reading a genetic sequence and identifying differences in the sequence letters. This information helps researchers understand how human differences are expressed at the gene level. We provide universities and drug discovery companies the ability to outsource some or all of their research needs for genotyping. The pharmaceutical and drug discovery segments of the outsourcing market continue to grow. Our Genotyping Services We provide services that range from sequencing and genotyping to the entire process of SNP discovery to large industrial customers. Contract genotyping is the process of reading a genetic sequence and identifying differences in the sequence letters. For example, in comparing diseased tissue with normal tissue, we are able to see the differences in the sequence letters. This information helps researchers understand how human differences are expressed at the gene level. They can then search for and develop preventative treatment and effective therapeutic courses to alleviate disease symptoms. A critical factor to the success of research and development of pharmacogenomics assays is the ability to do high through-put genotyping. To this end, we acquired certain assets from a Canadian company and formed our subsidiary Ellipsis. Ellipsis has a Beckman-Coulter SNPstream that is capable of using a new 48-plex system, which allows for greater capacity of SNP testing at less cost. We currently have a total of three SNPstream machines enabling us to offer testing services that can validate markers at high volumes, which is especially useful in the later stages of drug and diagnostics development during large clinical trials. Ellipsis also has an Illumina Beadstation 500G system, which also runs very high capacity analysis. The Illumina system is 50 to 100 times higher capacity but is not as efficient from an expense perspective at lower numbers of SNPs making the Illumina a more ideal research tool in screening whole genomes across hundreds of thousands of SNPs. These platforms enable us to do a variety of testing of DNA samples for pharmacogenomic efforts as well as generating revenue from projects for academic and business organizations. Ellipsis has extensive experience working with DNA samples from a variety of sources and projects, including agricultural to human disease applications. In October 2005, we acquired Kenna Technologies. Kenna develops software and related technologies for building computational models that mimic complex biological systems. By acquiring Kenna, we also gained access to Kenna's BoneFusion and CellCycleFusion models, which simulate bone remodeling processes and molecular pathways. These pathways are common targets of current cancer therapies. Utilizing these models may lead to shorter drug development timelines and thus reduced costs as they help in the design of optimal clinical trials. Computational models, developed with our proprietary methods test multiple complex scenarios of dosing, patient factors, disease progression over time, genetic variation in drug response and can provide insight into the potential outcomes of long term treatments which are too costly to test in human studies. We are currently using these models with respect to the PT-401 Super EPO project and will use these and other models in our research and development of our products. We also hired certain key employees of Kenna, including Drs. Barbara Handelin and Tandy Herrin, who will support the clinical development of our PT-401 with simulations to help design optimal clinical trials. Growth Strategy for Contract Genotyping We continue to pursue customers within the contract genotyping market. To date, our customers have come to us either through client referrals or our general website. In the future, we plan to concentrate our genotyping services on specific diseases, including cancer, neurological disorders, and heart disease. By concentrating on specific diseases, we hope to develop an expertise that will attract customers in those areas requiring external assistance and additional research capacity. Through this strategy, we will continue to build our reputation as a reliable and cost effective supplier of high quality data. 23

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Trademarks We regard our trademarks, copyrights, domain names, trade dress, trade secrets, proprietary technologies, and similar intellectual property as important to our success, and we rely on trademark, and copyright law, trade-secret protection, and confidentiality and/or license agreements with our employees, customers, partners, and others to protect our proprietary rights. We have licensed in the past, and expect that we may license in the future, certain of proprietary rights, technologies or copyrighted materials, from third parties and we rely on those third parties to defend their proprietary rights, copyrights and technologies. We claim common law trademark rights to the marks DNAPrint, DNAWitness, EURO-DNA and ANCESTRYbyDNA. Patent Applications We have filed claims for international and domestic patent protection. The patents, if issued, will help ensure protection of our bioinformatics platforms, analytical software, genome maps and genetic classifiers in forensic, consumer products, and pharmacogenomics applications. The most significant patent applications cover the bioinformatics platforms and genome maps. Other applications describe the mathematical process of finding complex genetic information and the actual processes that find the gene variants responsible for specific complex genetic traits. Four of our patent applications, 'CompositionsPigmentation', Single Patients, Markers .Ancestry and 'CompositionsStatin', have entered National Phases and are pending review and we believe, approval in the U.S. and designated countries. The pigmentation patent is important because it includes the methods and compositions for determining skin shade, eye color or any other pigmentation application. Our Statin patent application includes the use of method for determining a person's ability to respond favorably to a particular statin drug, not the class as a whole. We may also obtain data to support our claim for all statins and the use of our AIMs in the development of the assay. As discoveries warrant, we will continue to apply for future additional patents.

COMPETITION Numerous entities are attempting to identify genomic variation predictive of specific diseases and drug response and to develop products and services based on these discoveries. We face competition in these areas from pharmaceutical, biotechnology and diagnostic companies, academic and research institutions and government and other publicly-funded agencies, both in the United States and abroad, most of which have substantially greater capital resources, research and development staffs, facilities, manufacturing and marketing experience, distribution channels and human resources than do we. Our key competitors include, but are not limited to, PPGx, Inc., a leading international developer and supplier of research-based pharmacogenomics services and products which recently announced the launch of its GeneTrials(TM) Bioinformatics Platform. Also, large pharmaceutical companies have their own internal research and development efforts that could surpass or eliminate our technology from the market. These competitors may discover, characterize or develop important technologies applying genomics before us or develop proprietary products and services that are more effective than those technologies that we develop. Additionally, these competitors may obtain regulatory approvals for their drugs and diagnostics more rapidly than we or our customers do, any of which could limit our ability to market effectively our products and services. If our patent applications are not awarded or if our competitors in the field of genetic research develop and receive approval of patents that supersede our applications, we could be forced to cease the development of our products, services and technologies. Some companies and governments are marketing or developing databases and informatics tools to assist participants in the healthcare industry and academic researchers in the management and analysis of genomic data. "Informatics tools" is a term used by scientists to describe software, computer programs or mathematical programs that analyze data sets or collected information that is stored in data files. Such computer programs can take an apparently meaningless block of numbers from a laboratory experiment and evaluate trends, look for statistical relationships and group or segregate the numbers according to their levels of importance to the scientist. They are tools to evaluate information. Our competitors have developed or plan to develop databases containing gene sequence, genomic variation or other genomic information and are marketing or plan to market their data to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies or plan to make freely available their databases. These entities include, but are not limited to: - Genaissance Pharmaceuticals: a provider of pharmacogenomic support services, including high-throughput sequencing, this company was recently acquired by another company called Clinical Data, Inc. - Evolutionary Bioinformatics: Bioinformatics and genomics consulting, specializing in comparative genomics, functional genomics and model organisms. - deCODE Genetics: Advanced bioinformatics and high throughput genotyping facility - Celera Genomics: Drug discovery systems and services. - Cellular Genomics: A biotechnology company focused on the discovery and validation of novel drug targets. - Correlogic Systems: Developing tools and processes for proteomic and genomic-based clinical diagnostic systems and new drug discovery. - Epoch Biosciences: Technologies useful in genetic research, diagnostics, drug development, infectious disease detection, prenatal testing and population screening to assess risk of disease or to predict response to drugs. - Eragen Biosciences: Designs, develops, and markets functional genomic and drug/diagnostic discovery platform products, and technologies to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and agro-biology industries. In addition, numerous pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, either alone or in collaboration with our competitors, are developing genomic research programs that involve the use of information that can be found in these databases. Genomic technologies have undergone, and are expected to continue to undergo, rapid and significant change. Our future success will depend in large part on maintaining a competitive position in the genomics field. Others may rapidly develop new technologies that may result in our test or technologies becoming obsolete before we recover the expenses that we incur in connection with the development of these products. Our developed proprietary products and services could become obsolete if our competitors offer less expensive or more effective drug discovery and development technologies, including technologies that may be unrelated to genomics. 25

We also compete in the forensic DNA testing market, consumer DNA products market and contract services outsourcing market. We have introduced new products in the last year and improved our flagship product, ANCESTRYbyDNA , part of the consumer DNA market, by upgrading it from 76 marker sets to 175 marker sets. Additionally, we have increased our ability to include DNA sampling from Northern European, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and IndoEuropean by introducing EURO-DNA 1.0. However, sales have not improved as dramatically as expected perhaps due to an increase in pricing from $199 to $219 for ANCESTRYbyDNA and a combined price of $399 for inclusion of a EURO-DNA test along with the ANCESTRYbyDNA test. In the consumer market, which is mainly supported by genealogy enthusiasts, we remain concerned that our potential reward from developing products will be limited by a sudden lack of interest. Our competitors include companies like: o Sorenson Genetics- One of the larger suppliers of paternity and ancestry testing. o DNA Testing Center, Inc. - A testing service for mitochondrial, paternity and y chromosome testing for the consumer market and forensics market as well. Either of these firms or other companies could create a product that is competitive to our products, and reduce our current sales volumes. Similarly, we have competitors in the field of forensics that includes the following companies and agencies: o Orchid- The original inventors of Single Nucleotide Polymorphismanalysis machines and SNP technologies through its Orchid Cellmark division is considered one of the premier independent DNA testing laboratories in forensics. This competitor not only has the scientific background but the financial means and expertise to create a product that directly competes with ours in the forensics market. o FSS- A United Kingdom based firm that processes nearly 85% of the UK's criminal DNA samples also has the ability to create a product that is competitive to our products and is exploring entering the U.S. market. o Bode Systems, A division of Choicepoint- A significant competitor that, like FSS and Orchid has the ability to create and market a similar product to ours and eliminate us from the forensics market. o FBI, Quantico Laboratories- The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has significant development resources and we believe they are contracting with Orchid and others to develop identity tests that will help them identify potential DNA donors from crime scene DNA. The bureau also invests federal research money on its own research to develop testing processes and procedures that it would approve for law enforcement. o The National Institutes of Justice regularly provides grants to local and state police crime laboratories and University researchers that are competitive to our technology. We have applied for two grants and will continue to apply but have been rejected. In each application, despite the rejection, we have developed the proposed technology and brought it to the forensics market. Forensic DNA and consumer DNA technologies have undergone, and are expected to continue to undergo, rapid and significant change. Our future success will depend in large part on maintaining a competitive position in these fields. Others may rapidly develop new technologies that may result in our tests or technologies becoming obsolete before we recover the expenses that we incur in connection with the development of these products. Our products and services could become obsolete if our competitors offer less expensive or more effective discovery and development technologies, including technologies that may be unrelated to genomics. Employees As of March 31, 2006, we had twenty-one full-time employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We consider our relations with our employees to be good. We plan to add additional staff as needed to handle all phases of our business. 26

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 and the financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 included in this prospectus. SUMMARY Although we have been in existence for a number of years, management's efforts to develop our business have not yet resulted in significant revenues. We have chosen to focus on increasing sales volume in the consumer and forensic markets while continuing to develop products for introduction to the pharmacogenomics market. We intend to support research and development as a vital component of our overall growth strategy. Until (i) potential customers are familiar with our technology and products, which will come from continued research and development and proven market use, and (ii) we introduce our pharmacogenomics products, it is unlikely that we will generate significant revenue. The following discussion of our historical financial results should be read against this background. REVENUES AND COST OF SALES For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, revenues were $1,275,503 and $785,632, respectively. A $489,871 increase in revenues from the prior year is a 62% increase that was a result of the sales of our ANCESTRYbyDNA increasing approximately $284,000, our paternity testing increasing approximately $79,000. Our EURO-DNA 1.0 was introduced to the general public in the fourth quarter of 2004 and contributed approximately $127,000 of revenue over 2004. Additionally, we recorded approximately $40,000 of revenues from our mtDNA product, $9,000 of revenues from our DNAWitness-MitoTM and $23,000 of revenues from our Y-chromosome products which were added to our product line when we acquired Trace Genetics. We also had $17,000 of other revenue during 2005. These increases in revenue were offset by a decrease in genotyping of $76,000 and DNAWitness of $13,000. In addition to the revenues recognized in the accompanying statement of operations, we also have recorded deferred revenues of $195,018 as of December 31 2005. Deferred revenue resulted mainly from our ancestry client testing that was not complete as of December 31, 2005. These amounts will be recognized as revenue during 2006. During 2005 compared to 2004, our sales of ANCESTRYbyDNATM increased approximately $284,000. This is due to increased awareness and interest in genealogy, increased advertising in several markets and increased press coverage during 2005. When we introduced our version 2.5 of ANCESTRYbyDNATM during 2004, we increased the pricing which has resulted in a lower volume of product sold, but at a higher margin. The product is relatively new to the market, and we believe sales will continue to fluctuate from period to period until we can better determine through continued market research and time how and where to best market and sell this product. We have found that news articles produce a spike in volume, and we will continue to pursue this avenue of marketing during 2006. We introduced another ancestry product, EURO-DNATM 1.0, during late 2004, which resulted in an increase in sales of approximately $127,000. Sales of our ancestry products were generated through advertising in Family Tree, a genealogy periodical, and through public exposure that we received during the year in newspapers, magazines and television. In addition, sales were generated through our various distributors and from our website www.ancestrybydna.com. During 2005, we entered into agreements with seven new distributors to sell our ancestry products. One of our new distributors accounted for approximately $234,000 of sales during 2005. During 2005, we acquired Trace Genetics, Inc. which allowed us to introduce their products mtDNA and Y-chromosome product. These products contributed to $63,000 of sales during 2005. These consumer products are sold in similar markets as ANCESTRYbyDNATM and EURO-DNATM, therefore our advertising campaigns for these products are similar to those for our other consumer products. Paternity testing sales are generated primarily through our various distributors and from our website www.ancestrybydna.com. The majority of the $79,000 increase in sales during 2005 compared to 2004 was from a distributor that was added during the second quarter of 2004. Paternity testing is an add-on service, and we expect revenues to continue to fluctuate in this market. While we have not yet implemented a formal marketing and sales plan for this service, we continue to perform market research and gather information in order to define and implement a formal marketing strategy. One distributor accounted for approximately $110,000 of our paternity sales during 2005. We do not expect these revenues to continue during 2006 and are seeking to replace the potential short-fall. We have been increasing our direct marketing and mail campaign for our ANCESTRYbyDNA and DNAWitness products and services as well as the Trace Genetics products and services to offset this potential decrease in paternity sales. 27

Genotyping sales were generated primarily through work with universities, with one university being our major client of this service. The decrease of genotyping services of approximately $76,000 during 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 was the result of decreased service provided to one university. To date, our genotyping service customers have come to us either through client referrals or our general website. In the future, we plan to concentrate our genotyping services on specific diseases, including cancer, neurological disorders, and heart disease. By concentrating on specific diseases, we hope to develop an expertise that will attract customers in those areas requiring external assistance and additional research capacity. One university accounted for approximately $159,000 of our genotyping sales during 2005. As part of our on-going genotyping contract services work for one of our new customers, we have offered to perform ANCESTRYbyDNA testing services on 284 children suffering from a disease known as ALL or Acute Lymphocyte Leukemia. We expect to submit a manuscript for publication during 2006 under a joint publication agreement. Following this early pre-screening, the ALL program will test nearly 3,000 children afflicted with this disease in hopes that we will be better able to help the research hospital determine the genetic markers that are inherited and that may play a role in disease formation, advancement or remission. Treatment protocols or treatment regimes include multiple drug therapies and include, Taxol and Taxol like derivatives as well as other chemotherapy treatments and protocols. It is too early to determine the potential benefits to us, but we believe that the donation of our technology and services is crucial to the development of better and improved treatments for ALL. Currently, nearly 10-20% of the children afflicted with this disorder do not survive beyond 18-24 months after diagnosis. We believe that our technology, combined with the research hospital's other work and including the contracted genotyping work performed by us for them, may help in reducing this dreadful statistic. We continue to market our DNAWitness products through marketing to various agencies, our attendance at trade shows and through our relationships with Lynn Peavey catalog, Orchid Biosciences, and ReliaGene Technologies. We continue to seek to develop other distributors of our services and products. Our products, DNAWitness 2.0, RETINOME, and EURO-Witness 1.0 have been featured in the Lynn Peavey Company catalog and the Lynn Peavey Web site. We trained Lynn Peavey Company personnel to establish and conduct seminars and training programs for detectives, crime laboratory personnel and crime scene personnel on DNAWitness . Similarly, we have trained nearly 2,000 forensic personnel that include detectives, prosecutors and forensic scientists about our technology and its use. We anticipate continuing to train personnel on the use of our technology and products throughout 2006. The sales of our DNAWitness products decreased by $13,000 during 2005. We believe that our forensic revenues will continue to fluctuate because these are new products, and there are no similar products being marketed. We intend to continue to research the markets and refine our sales and marketing strategy for our forensic products. We have identified and applied for several grants and submitted our technology for federal review for applications that include human identification and terrorist tracking. We have not had any grant funding of our research and development or deployment of our technology into any of these applications during 2005. We believe that the restraint of our sales in the forensics market does not originate from a lack of desire to use the technology by the detective or the prosecutor but rather a lack of funding for the increased staff that will be required to review cold case files, open new investigations or identify missing persons from stored human remains. We believe that the bulk of our investigative support will come through local and regional police, fire and detective agencies that do not require any federal funding to use our services and technology. We will however, continue to pursue much larger applications for our technologies on a global basis and will participate in several forensic and biometric venues during 2006 that offer us a broad platform exposure to the world market. We are also seeking distributors of our products and services on a global basis applying our technology wherever the need could arise. During 2005, we acquired Trace Genetics, Inc. which allowed us to introduce DNAWitness-MitoTM which contributed approximately $9,000 of sales during 2005. In order to build consistent sales, we have begun to implement formal sales and marketing plans, including advertising and promotional campaigns. Implementing these plans results in increased expenses for personnel, advertising, promotion, and the collateral materials associated with these programs. We plan to continue to add to our advertising and presentation campaign during 2006, as cash flow permits. Overall, our goal is to focus on increasing market awareness of all of our products, particularly within the consumer and forensic markets. Cost of sales increased $442,545 during 2005 compared to 2004. This was a result of increased revenues during 2005 compared to 2004. The cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 75% for 2005 compared to 65% for 2004. The increase in cost of sales as a percent of revenues is due to our refinement of our estimate and allocation of research and development costs. Because of our small sales volume, these results are not indicative of the margins that we expect to attain if our long-term goals are achieved. We anticipate that as we gain experience and can begin to take advantage of economies of scale through increased revenues; our margins will stabilize and begin to track in line with other companies in similar industries. However, in the near term, while we continue to be a development stage enterprise, we expect that our margins will continue to fluctuate. 28

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES Our research and development costs consist of raw materials, laboratory supplies, equipment expense, facilities costs and employment-related costs. These R&D expenses were incurred in support of our currently available consumer and forensics products and genotyping services and for our anticipated pharmacogenomics products. Research and development costs increased from $1,561,142 in 2004 to $2,122,383 in 2005, an increase of $561,241, or 36%. R&D costs on EPO, which began during 2005 was approximately $289,000 of costs during 2005. Also, we had an increase spending of approximately $195,000 for R&D materials and approximately $259,000 for direct labor costs during 2005 compared to 2004. These increases in R&D were offset by a decrease of approximately $200,000 of allocated costs to R&D as a result from our refinement in estimates and allocation of research and development costs. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Another significant component of our operating expenses is selling, general and administrative expenses. These expenses resulted from (i) accounting and other fees associated with being a public company and other regulatory compliance activities, (ii) legal fees associated with our patent filings and maintenance, a lawsuit against a former employee and preparation of our securities law filings, (iii) selling and marketing costs to promote our products and (iv) administrative and other salaries and expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $813,567, from $2,050,981 in 2004 to $2,864,548, in 2005. Compared to 2004, compensation cost for our three top executives during 2005 declined by approximately $824,000. This decline occurred primarily because the 2004 amount included amortization of stock-based compensation costs for these executives from a grant in a previous year. Because the relevant amortization period ended in May 2004, the 2005 amount did not include any expense related to the previous grants. This was offset by an increase of $46,000 for the annual shareholders meeting costs, increase of $381,000 for legal expenses, increase of approximately $260,000 for consulting services, increase of approximately $82,000 for accounting fees and services and an increase of approximately $628,000 of advertising, marketing materials and investor relations expense. Additionally, we allocated approximately $200,000 less selling, general and administrative costs to research and development during 2005 compared to 2004 which in effect increased our selling, general and administrative expenses. INTEREST EXPENSE During 2005, we recognized a decrease of $8,105 compared to 2004 in interest expense. The decrease in interest expense is a result of a lower convertible debenture balance during 2005 compared to 2004 as La Jolla exercised its conversion rights during 2005. INTEREST INCOME During December 2004, we made a loan in Euros to a German company. We record the interest on this loan each period, and any adjustments for the foreign currency translation are included in foreign currency loss included on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. This loan was paid off during 2005. We did not have any such loans during 2004. INTRINSIC VALUE OF CONVERTIBLE DEBT AND NON-DETACHABLE WARRANTS AND DEBT DISCOUNT AMORTIZATION We recorded $250,000 related to the intrinsic value of the convertible feature of the La Jolla debt. We also recorded a discount on notes payable of $5,820,000 related to the four Dutchess notes including the two incentive debentures. This $6,070,000 of debt discount is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes and convertible debentures. During 2005, we recorded $1,953,084 of expense. The majority of the remaining debt discount will be expensed during 2006. AMORTIZATION OF DEFERRED FINANCING FEES During 2005, we recorded $187,005 of deferred financing fees related to the La Jolla debenture and the four Dutchess notes. These deferred financing fees are being amortized over the life of the notes. We also expensed $260,000 of financing fees paid to Dutchess that did not have any basis allocable to the fees, thus they were expensed. During 2005, we recorded an increase over the same periods in 2004 of $310,301 of amortization which included the $260,000 of directly expensed fees. 29

LOSS ON DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS, NET The balance sheet caption derivative liabilities consists of (a) embedded conversion features bifurcated from the Dutchess notes and convertible debentures and (b) all other convertible preferred stock, convertible debt and outstanding warrants. Based on their own contract terms, the instruments described in clause (b) are not considered to be derivatives, but because of the embedded conversion feature of the Dutchess notes, we are required to record such instruments at fair value as a derivative liability. The following tabular presentation set forth information about the derivative instruments at and for the year ended December 31, 2005: [Enlarge/Download Table] La Jolla Dutchess Derivatives Convertible Preferred Stock Outstanding Warrants convertible debt Total -------------------- --------------------------- -------------------- ---------------- ------------ Fair value adjustments, income (loss): $ (2,595,695) $ 313,851 $ 292,794 (21,980) $(2,011,030) These fair value adjustments affect our computation of income or loss, but they are non-cash items. The shares that were issued as incentive shares and are outstanding also fall under the derivative criteria in accordance with EITF 00-19 and we had to record at fair value the 1,250,000 and 2,500,000 shares of common stock issued as incentive shares in the two Dutchess notes and record them as Redeemable Instruments. At December 31, 2005, the 1,250,000 shares had been sold by Dutchess, the 2,500,000 shares which were retained by Dutchess were valued at $52,750, and a gain on derivatives was recorded of $400,125. There were no such derivatives during 2004. FOREIGN CURRENCY LOSS During 2005, we recorded a foreign currency loss of $7,060 on a loan we made in Euros. This loan was repaid during 2005. We did not have any foreign currency transactions during 2004. OTHER EXPENSES Effective September 28, 2004, we entered into an Investment Agreement with Biofrontera and the shareholders of Biofrontera to purchase certain Series B preferred shares of Biofrontera. After discussions with Biofrontera, on February 18, 2005, we exercised our right to terminate the Biofrontera agreement. We expensed $105,252 of costs that related to this transaction during 2005 and $10,000 of costs for the same period related to another transaction that was not completed. We expensed $293,007 of costs related to the Biofrontera transaction during 2004. Also during 2004, we paid $75,000 to George Frudakis (father of our Chief Scientific Officer and a shareholder of the Company) to pay the principal of approximately $45,000, accrued interest of approximately $4,000 and approximately $26,000 was recorded as other expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations to satisfy in full any other claims related to his note and funding agreement. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES General ------- During 2005, our operating requirements generated negative cash flow from operations as we continued to engage in testing and development of our products. Our cash used by operating activities during 2005 was $3,605,877. We also had principal payments on capital lease obligations of approximately $208,000 and purchases of computers and equipment of approximately $124,000. The resulting cash shortfall was financed primarily through the exercise of non-detachable warrants and prepayment for future warrant exercises, a $250,000 ($235,000 of cash after fee) convertible debenture from La Jolla, puts under our agreement with Dutchess and $5,160,000 ($3,867,995 of cash after discount and fees) in notes issued to Dutchess. 30

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred losses since our inception, and have experienced and continue to experience negative cash flows from operations. In addition, we have a working capital deficiency of approximately $7,577,917 (of which $6,981,306 was a derivative liability) at December 31, 2005, and will continue to have ongoing requirements for substantial additional capital investment to accomplish our business plan over the next several years. Over the past few years, our operations have been funded through related party funding, sales of common stock and preferred stock, issuance of notes, put notices with Dutchess and the issuance of convertible debentures and the exercise of non-detachable warrants. We continue to experience some success generating operating revenues; however, we do not expect our revenue stream to be sufficient to cover costs of operations in the foreseeable future. In the foreseeable future, we expect to receive funding from the minimum conversions of the outstanding debenture into common stock, the related exercise of the non-detachable warrants and the Dutchess agreement. We believe this funding will be sufficient to cover our operating activities through 2006. If our share price continues to remain weak, or if any number of adverse factors or events occur, we will not have enough equity to complete future acquisitions or possibly to continue operations beyond 2006. Management is adequately confident that equity financing or debt will be available to fund our operations until revenue streams are sufficient to fund operations; however, the terms and timing of such equity or debt cannot be predicted. We have issued securities, including convertible debentures and convertible preferred stock, that convert into our common stock at a continuously adjustable conversion price based on a discount on the trading price of our common stock. In addition, our Investment Agreement with Dutchess requires us to sell our common stock at a continuously adjustable conversion price at a discount to the trading price of our common stock. As we draw down advances under the Investment Agreement with Dutchess and more of our common stock is sold pursuant thereto, the market price of our common stock could decrease significantly and make further advances impractical or impossible during time periods in which we may need to raise capital to fund our operations and market and sell our products and services. In addition, the issuance of our common stock upon exercise or conversion of our other securities may create a downward pressure on the market price of our common stock. FINANCINGS La Jolla Cove Convertible Debenture and Warrants ------------------------------------------------------ On November 25, 2003, we closed on a $500,000, 8% convertible debenture with non-detachable warrants with La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. We pay interest on a monthly basis with a principal balloon payment due on the extended maturity date of November 25, 2007. Per the agreement, La Jolla shall convert at least 5% of the face value of the debenture each calendar month into our common stock. The number of common stock shares into which this debenture may be converted is equal to the dollar amount of the debenture being converted multiplied by sixteen, minus the product of the conversion price multiplied by fifteen times the dollar amount of the debenture being converted, and the entire foregoing result shall be divided by the conversion price. The conversion price is equal to the lesser of (i) $0.20 or (ii) 80% of the average of the five lowest daily value weighted average price of our common stock during the twenty trading days prior to La Jolla's election to convert. We have the right to reject a conversion if the stock price is below $0.50 per share. If we exercise this right, we then are obligated to pay the portion of the debenture the conversion notice was for plus applicable unpaid accrued interest and a premium equal to 10% of those amounts. The non-detachable warrants must be exercised concurrently with the conversion of debt to common stock by La Jolla. La Jolla has the right to exercise warrants equaling fifteen times the dollar amount of the debenture being converted at an exercise price of $1.00. If La Jolla does not convert at least 5% of the warrants per month, then La Jolla will not be able to collect interest on the debenture for that month. The warrants issued to La Jolla expire on November 25, 2007. On February 18, 2004, the Convertible debenture and Warrant to Purchase Common Stock agreements were amended. If La Jolla does not convert at least 5% of the face value of the debenture and exercise at least 5% of the warrants in any particular calendar month, La Jolla may wire to us $375,000 less the dollar amount of warrants exercised in that month within five business days of the end of the month. Should La Jolla fail to wire us such funds, La Jolla shall not be entitled to collect interest on the debenture for that month. If breached more than once, then we may terminate the agreements with La Jolla and the debenture becomes due six months thereafter with accrued interest. For any month the minimum payment was required to be paid and was not paid, La Jolla and we agreed in writing for them to not fund the payment. On June 28, 2005, La Jolla exercised its right to increase its note by $250,000 with the same terms as the previous convertible debenture except the annual interest rate is two percent. This convertible debenture has the same terms and conditions as the initial La Jolla note. 31
SB-235th “Page” of 82TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 35th
On October 20, 2005, we amended the La Jolla convertible debenture and the warrant granted to La Jolla to confirm that the warrant exercise price remained at $1 per share after the twenty-to-one reverse stock split, the maturity date of the debenture and the expiration date of the warrant was extended to November 25, 2007 and that when La Jolla exercised its option to add $250,000 in principal to the convertible debenture that we granted to La Jolla the right to purchase an additional 3,750,000 shares of our common stock under the warrant. During 2005, La Jolla converted $189,000 of convertible debentures into our common stock and exercised non-detachable warrants to purchase 1,467,000 shares of our common stock. Dutchess Investment Agreement ------------------------------- On September 28, 2004, we entered into an Investment Agreement with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, pursuant to which Dutchess has committed to purchase our common stock up to an aggregate purchase price of $35 million over a two-year period. The Dutchess Agreement provides that we from time to time may deliver a notice to the Investor that will state the dollar amount of common stock that we desire the Investor to purchase. The maximum amount permitted pursuant to any such notice is $600,000, and we can give approximately three such notices per month. Upon receipt of the notice, Dutchess is obliged to purchase the dollar amount of common stock set forth in the notice at a purchase price equal to 96% of the average of the two lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the five trading days after the notice. We are not permitted to provide a notice to Dutchess, and Dutchess is not obliged to purchase any of our shares, in the event that we do not have sufficient authorized shares available for purchase to fulfill such commitment. In accordance with the two outstanding notes we issued to Dutchess, we are required to use 100% of the proceeds from these puts as payment on the notes. In order to use our $35 million funding facility with Dutchess Equity Partners to fund our operations and complete future acquisitions, we had to restructure our capital. During our 2005 annual shareholders meeting, we received shareholder approval for a reverse stock split. Pursuant to the reverse split, every 20 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on July 12, 2005 was combined into one share of our common stock. The number of shares outstanding at July 12, 2005 after this reverse stock split was 63,442,890, and the number of authorized shares remained at 1,500,000,000. During July 2005, we registered 350,000,000 shares to be used in conjunction with this Dutchess facility. During March 2006, we expect to file a registration statement to register additional shares for this Dutchess facility. During 2005, we exercised put notices in accordance with our agreement and received $1,802,651 of cash proceeds, net of $10,109 of cash stock issuance costs for which we issued 78,912,356 shares of our common stock to Dutchess. During 2005, proceeds totaling $1,559,991 from these puts were used to reduce the notes payable outstanding with Dutchess. Dutchess Notes --------------- To fund the acquisition of the 18% equity interest in Biofrontera in 2005, we entered into two notes with Dutchess. On June 30, 2005, we issued to Dutchess a promissory note in the amount of $1,560,000 for a purchase price of $1,300,000. This note was paid in full by the end of January 2006. On August 1, 2005, we issued to Dutchess a second promissory note in the amount of $840,000 for a purchase price of $700,000. This note was paid in full by the end of February 2006. In order to fund our current operations, we entered into two more notes with Dutchess during October and December 2005. On October 21, 2005, we issued to Dutchess a promissory note in the amount of $1,380,000 for a purchase price of $1,150,000. The note is due and payable in full on December 31, 2006. Other than the $230,000 discount inherent in the purchase price, the note is non-interest-bearing. The note will be repaid using the proceeds of each put notice delivered by us to Dutchess under the September 2004 Investment Agreement. On December 22, 2005, we issued to Dutchess a promissory note in the amount of $1,380,000 for a purchase price of $1,150,000. The note is due and payable in full on December 15, 2006. Other than the $230,000 discount inherent in the purchase price, the note is non-interest-bearing. The note will be repaid using the proceeds of each put notice delivered by us to Dutchess under the September 2004 Investment Agreement. On March 6, 2006, we issued to Dutchess a promissory note in the amount of $1,500,000 for a purchase price of $1,200,000. The note is due and payable in full on March 6, 2007. Other than the $300,000 discount inherent in the purchase price, the note is non-interest-bearing. The note will be repaid using the proceeds of each put notice delivered by us to Dutchess under the September 2004 Investment Agreement. In connection with the notes, we paid Dutchess a facility fee of $325,000 and issued to Dutchess 3,750,000 shares of our common stock and convertible debentures totaling $990,000. We also paid approximately $215,000 of fees to Athena. 32

Capital Expenditures --------------------- During 2006, we anticipate continuing to develop the required infrastructure to realize our 2006 operational growth plan, including acquiring or leasing property, equipment and other operating assets. We are actively seeking to acquire or lease a new building that has 5,000 to 10,000 square feet with additional expansion potential. We estimate that lease costs will be between $15 and $25 per square foot. This does not include leasehold improvements or other associated costs such as utilities, taxes and maintenance. The initial build out of 7,000 square feet is estimated at approximately $780,000, which includes laboratory, office and warehouse space. Additional costs for equipment, furniture and fixtures are estimated at approximately $257,000. Timing of the incurrence of the expense will depend upon the length of time required to find the appropriate facility. In addition, we anticipate that new laboratory and computer equipment will be purchased during 2006. Computer purchases for programming, modeling and business use are estimated at approximately $100,000 and scientific and business programs and software at approximately $50,000. Capital expenditures for laboratory equipment are estimated at approximately $250,000 during 2006. It is our intent, during 2006, to increase our marketing and sales personnel. Current plans are to add up to two personnel in these areas. As cash flow permits, we plan on increasing our research staff through the addition of up to two post doctors. The post doctors would be responsible for internal research projects that will be directed by our Chief Scientific Officer. In addition, we are considering increasing our programming staff in order to expedite our research projects. Costs associated with the hiring process would include normal expenditures including advertising costs and possible search fees from outside consultants. For higher-level positions, additional interviews, sign on bonuses and relocation expenses may also be incurred. Although this is our current personnel hiring plan, conditions and other unforeseen factors could impact the decision making process and as a result plans may change. Commitments ----------- Our significant cash commitments for 2006 and future years include: - Payments of approximately $2,150,000 under the Beth Israel License Agreement. - Payments of approximately $176,096 under our collaborative research agreement with Beth Israel. - Payments of approximately $3,350,000 and annual payments of $250,000 under our License Agreement with Harvard Medical School. - Payments of approximately $300,000 under our Research Sponsorship Agreement with Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. - Payments of approximately $300,000 under our consulting agreement with Dr. Arthur Sytkowski. - Payments of approximately $375,000 under our License Agreement with Dr. Mark Froimowitz. Our ability to make these payments is dependent upon our continued ability to raise capital under our Investment Agreement with Dutchess. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS As of December 31, 2005, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements. 33

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Below, we discuss this further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. Asset Impairment ----------------- We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, we estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Otherwise, an impairment loss is not recognized. Management estimates the fair value and the estimated future cash flows expected. Any changes in these estimates could impact whether there was impairment and the amount of the impairment. Since we are in the development stage, we do not have much history to determine our estimated cash flows. If we do not meet our targeted cash flows for our services and if the estimated disposition of the equipment is lower, this could result in a write-down of our equipment. Our equipment is very specialized equipment related to genomics research, and there probably will not be a large demand for our used equipment. The amount of our net fixed assets is the amount of the maximum risk if our assumptions were not correct. Each year the assets will have higher depreciation and the maximum risk will decrease correspondingly. Allocation of Research and Development Costs ------------------------------------------------- Prior to 2004, our research and development costs were derived by allocating certain costs based on total labor effort. The percentage of total labor effort expended on research and development was an estimate by management. During 2004, we refined our process of allocating costs by identifying and directly expensing certain costs related to research and development and allocating certain other costs based on total labor effort that is estimated by management and employees. With some of these costs, a percentage of a total purchase order price is allocated to research and development. Also during 2004, we implemented a time card process that gives us a more refined estimate of certain employees' time. During 2005, as raw materials became significant, we began recording inventory for our raw materials. As the raw materials are used, they are charged to research and development expense based upon actual usage for research and development. We continue to refine our process of identifying time associated with research and development. These refinements to estimates could increase or decrease our income statement expense categories of research and development, cost of sales and selling, general and administrative. Over time we believe this change in allocating costs will result in a lower allocation of administrative costs to research and development. Also, as we hire employees, the department in which the employee is hired will have a direct impact on the allocation of administrative costs to research and development. For example if a person is hired in research and development, the allocation to research and development for other administrative costs will increase because labor effort percentage for research and development will have increased. If a person is hired in administration, the allocation to research and development for other administrative costs will decrease because the labor effort percentage for research and development will have decreased. Changes to these estimates could have a significant impact on the accrual and related compensation expense and/or deferred compensation. Valuation of Intangible Assets --------------------------------- Our intangible assets are reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. This annual impairment test is performed in the last quarter of each fiscal year. The impairment test requires a comparison of the fair value of the Company to the amount of intangible assets recorded. If this comparison reflects impairment, then the loss would be measured as the excess of recorded intangible asset amount over its implied fair value. Although management believes that the estimates and assumptions used are reasonable, actual results could differ. 34
SB-238th “Page” of 82TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 38th
Estimation of Fair Market Value ----------------------------------- We use the Black Scholes Option Model to determine fair market value in certain instances (i.e. to value warrants and the intrinsic value of the convertible debt and non-detachable warrants). The Black Scholes Option Model requires estimated assumptions in its computation. We estimate the assumptions used in each calculation based upon the transaction term and what we believe most appropriately reflects the transaction. If different estimates of the assumptions were used, it could result in different fair market value amounts being calculated. Additionally, various methods can be used to determine the fair market value of the warrant. If a different model were used besides the Black Scholes Option Model, it could result in different fair market value amounts being calculated. Derivatives ----------- We have reviewed our contracts and financial instruments to determine what derivatives and embedded derivatives we may have. We have then reviewed these derivatives and embedded derivatives to determine if they should be recorded as equity or a derivative liability valued at fair value. Judgment is used to apply the criteria of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 and Emerging Issues Task Force 00-19 to the derivatives. Also judgment and estimates are required to determine the fair value of the derivative liabilities. Although management believes that the estimates and assumptions used are reasonable, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY We currently lease an operating facility at 900 Cocoanut Avenue, Sarasota, Florida. This lease expires May 31, 2006 with a three-month renewal option. The lease requires monthly rent of approximately $5,765. The building consists of approximately 4,000 square feet of laboratory and office space. We also lease an operating facility at 4655 Meade St., Suite 300, Richmond, California. This lease expires August 1, 2006. The lease requires monthly rent of approximately $5,547 for approximately 3,000 square feet of laboratory and office space. We also lease an operating facility at 700 Bay Street, Suite 2101, Toronto, Canada. This lease expires April 30, 2008 and has a three-year renewal option. The lease requires a monthly rent of approximately $6,300 CDN (approximately $5,355 USD) for approximately 2,800 square feet of laboratory and office space. All of these facilities are in good condition. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS Until August 2003, we leased our principal office from Pacific Atlantic Corporation, a corporation controlled by George Frudakis, the father of Tony Frudakis. On October 15, 2001, we signed a lease for this space. The lease ran for 10 years at $5,333 per month plus increases annually based on increases in the Consumer Price Index. In June of 2003, we renegotiated the lease. The new two year operating lease expired on May 31, 2005 with an option to extend the lease for one year and then an additional three months. The building was sold to JSD Sarasota, LLC on August 26, 2003. In connection with the renegotiation of the lease, we agreed to pay Mr. Frudakis an amount equal to 6 months rent, payable in our common stock. On July 28, 2004, we issued 76,118 shares of our common stock in exchange for a charge valued at $41,900 for renegotiating our building lease. These shares were issued to Mr. Frudakis. In February 2002, we entered into a funding agreement with 4 shareholders, one of whom is Dr. Tony Frudakis, our Chief Scientific Officer and one of our directors, and another of whom is George Frudakis, Dr. Frudakis' father. These shareholders initially agreed to loan us $2,000,000 between March 2002 and December 2002. These loans were to be repaid along with all accrued interest at 8% on January 31, 2003. In June 2002, we elected to satisfy $509,160 of these notes through the issuance of 727,368 shares of our common stock. During October 2002 the terms of this agreement were modified, effectively terminating the participation of two of the shareholders. Pursuant to the amended agreement, the remaining two shareholders (including Dr. Frudakis and Mr. Frudakis) agreed to loan us $1,000,000 between December 2002 and December 2003. These loans were scheduled to mature, along with all accrued interest at 8%, on December 31, 2003. In the event of our default, the lenders' only remedy is to require us to issue shares of our stock as consideration for satisfaction of the debt. The number of shares to be issued for satisfaction of the debt will be based on a price of $0.70 per share if the weighted average price of our stock is $1.00 per share or above; alternatively if the weighted average price of our shares is less than $1.00, the number of shares due will be calculated using a 40% discount to the market price. Notwithstanding this, in no event will the shares to be issued under this arrangement be based on a price of less than $0.20 per share. 35

During 2004, we paid $75,000 to George Frudakis to pay the principal of approximately $45,000, accrued interest of approximately $4,000 and approximately $26,000 was recorded as other expense to satisfy in full any other claims related to his note and funding agreement. Also, during 2004, the note to Tony Frudakis was reduced by a $38,068 payment made to him by making payments on his behalf to third parties. During late 2004, Tony Frudakis and we agreed to extend the funding agreement with him under the same terms until December 31, 2005 with an additional provision that if we are in default of the note, then the only recourse to pay the note is with our stock. During 2005, we reduced the note by $33,634 by making payments on his behalf to third parties. This agreement was replaced by a notes payable agreement with 8% annual interest and the interest and principal due on December 31, 2006. The provision permitting repayment of the note with our stock was deleted. At December 31, 2005, our notes payable to Tony Frudakis have a balance of $238,381. On April 1, 2003, we terminated a consulting agreement with GenBiomics, LLC, a company in which Mr. Gabriel and Dr. Gomez were members. The original consulting agreement was signed on May 17, 2002. Since that time, Mr. Gabriel and Dr. Gomez agreed to become officers and directors of the Company. As a result, the prior consulting agreement was terminated. During 2003, we recorded consulting expense related to this agreement of $10,000. On December 28, 2004, we entered into a loan agreement with Biofrontera AG, a German corporation whereby we loaned 140,000 euros to Biofrontera. This converted to 193,426 US dollars at year end. At December 31, 2004 we recorded the loan of $193,426 and accrued interest of $257 for a total receivable of $193,683. This note has a 12 % annual interest rate. The Interest and principal payments are due by December 31, 2005. During 2004, we had an investment agreement with Biofrontera to acquire a portion of their company. During February 2005, this investment agreement was terminated, however the loan remains outstanding and the terms of the loan agreement remain in effect. During the fourth quarter of 2005, this loan was paid in full. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Our common stock is eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board.

For book purposes, the value is calculated by applying a 15% discount on the closing price. (2) Because the grantees can not sell their stock for cash to cover the tax liability that will be due, we agreed to cover the tax liability associated with the stock grant in cash by the date that the tax will be due by the grantee. The table reflects amounts that were earned in 2003 and 2004, but paid in 2004 and 2005, respectively. The 2004 amounts also reflect an adjustment to this tax liability for these executives.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS On May 8, 2001, we entered into an Employment Agreement with Tony Frudakis, our Chief Scientific Officer. The Agreement runs for a term that commenced August 22, 2001 and expires August 22, 2005, subject to extension from year to year by mutual agreement. Our Board of Directors may increase the salary from time to time in its discretion. At January 1, 2006, his salary was increased to $240,000 with $168,000 paid in cash and $72,000 deferred. The Employment Agreement also permits the Board of Directors to pay discretionary bonuses or other benefits to Dr. Frudakis. Upon termination of employment, the Agreement prohibits Dr. Frudakis from competing with the Company for a period of two years in the state of Florida. On November 30, 2001, we also entered into a Performance Stock Agreement with Dr. Frudakis that requires us to grant him 1.5 million shares of our restricted stock upon achieving certain milestones. The Board of Directors renegotiated the milestones in light of changes in our operational strategy. Thereafter, Dr. Frudakis met the milestone and we granted the stock in 2003. In May 2003, we entered into one-year employment agreements with Richard Gabriel, Hector Gomez, and Monica Tamborini. These agreements automatically extend for unlimited successive one-year periods unless terminated in accordance with the agreement. As consideration for the first year of employment, we agreed to issue, at no cost to the executives, a total of 3,750,000 shares of our common stock, and to pay the related federal and state income taxes they will incur as a result of these stock grants. The Agreements prohibit them from competing with us for a period of two years from the date of termination or leaving our employ. At January 1, 2006, Richard Gabriel's annual salary is $300,000 with $210,000 paid in cash and $90,000 deferred; Hector Gomez's annual salary is $288,000 with $201,600 paid in cash and $86,400 deferred; and Monica Tamborini's annual salary is $210,000 with $147,000 paid in cash and $63,000 deferred. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS On February 22, 2002, we entered into an agreement with Dr. Gomez when he joined our board of directors.

All of the options are vested at December 31, 2005. In addition, we agreed to pay him a cash director's fee of $20,000 per year through December 31, 2005. Other than described in this paragraph, no other director receives any compensation for services as a director. Directors are reimbursed for expenses to attend board meetings.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Board of Directors DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. and Subsidiaries (A Development Stage Enterprise) Sarasota, Florida We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. and subsidiaries (a development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from December 10, 1998 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the management of DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. and Subsidiaries. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2002 and for the period December 10, 1998 (date of inception) through December 31, 2002 were audited by other auditors whose report dated April 11, 2003 included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements for the period December 10, 1998 (date of inception) through December 31, 2002 include total sales and net loss of $270,938 and $6,849,650, respectively. Our opinion on the consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period December 10, 1998 (date of inception) through December 31, 2005 insofar as it relates to amounts for periods through December 31, 2002 is based solely on the report of other auditors. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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 expressed no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, based on the audit and the report of other auditors on the previous years' consolidated financial statements, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from December 10, 1998 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note B, the Company incurred a net loss of $8,715,852 during the year ended December 31, 2005 and has an accumulated deficit of $29,078,617 from inception to December 31, 2005. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note B. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ Pender Newkirk & Company Pender Newkirk & Company LLP Certified Public Accountants Tampa, Florida February 24, 2006 F-1

DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations ---------------------- DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. ("DNAP Utah"), which was organized for the purpose of investing in all forms of investments, was initially incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on January 3, 1983 as Lexington Energy, Inc, and subsequently changed its focus to human genome sciences. In connection with this change in focus, on July 15, 2000, DNAP Utah acquired DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. a Florida corporation ("DNAP Florida") through the issuance of 9,600,000 shares of its common stock which was accounted for as a pooling of interests. DNAP Florida specializes in the research and development of genomic products and provides scientific services and tests to the genealogy, forensic, pharmaceutical and genetics markets. On June 17, 2005, we acquired Trace Genetics, Inc. ("Trace Genetics"). DNAP Florida and Trace Genetics specialize in the research and development of genomic products and provide scientific services and tests to the genealogy, forensic, pharmaceutical and genetics markets. On October 12, 2005 we formed DNAPrint Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a wholly-owned pharmaceutical subsidiary focused on personalized medicine. On October 25, 2005, we acquired all of the stock of Kenna Technologies, Inc. ("Kenna"). Kenna develops software and related technologies for building computational models that mimic complex biological systems. On November 30, 2005, we acquired certain assets of a Canadian company which are used in our drug and diagnostic discovery business. We formed Ellipsis Biotherapeutics Corporation ("Ellipsis") a Toronto-based corporation to acquire these assets. As a result of these acquisitions, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DNAP Utah and all of its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "we", "us", "our"). All significant intercompany accounts and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. has been and continues to be a development stage company as described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7. We continue to devote substantially all of our efforts in initiating and developing our planned principal operations. While sales of our ancestry, forensic, paternity services and our genotyping services are increasing, our pharmacogenomics products are still in development. Revenue Recognition -------------------- In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13, revenues are recognized when we have persuasive evidence an arrangement exists including a fixed price, collection is reasonably assured, the services have been provided and delivered to the customer and no additional performance is required by us. We are currently providing ancestry, forensic, paternity and genotyping services. Deferred revenue represents the unearned portion of payments received in advance of our tests being completed and delivered to our customers. Our services are performed at the request of our customers and after the agreement/arrangement has been entered into, we do not generally give refunds to our customer as we have begun to incur or incurred the costs associated with that service. Our software program ADMIXMAP is currently for internal use solely by our scientists and we do not generate revenue from any sales thereof. Use of Estimates ------------------ The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Financial Instruments ---------------------- Our financial instruments include cash, receivables, current assets, current liabilities and notes payables. We believe the estimated fair value of such financial instruments at December 31, 2005 approximate their carrying value as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets due to their short-term nature. It is not practicable for us to estimate the fair value of our convertible debentures as there are not currently any quoted market prices available. We are in development stage and it is difficult to get debt financing. In addition, these debentures have a convertible feature. Thus it is difficult to determine the fair value. The carrying amount for these convertible debentures at December 31, 2005 is $911,000. Accounts Receivable -------------------- Accounts receivable consist of ancestry, forensic, and genotyping services to our distributors and genotyping customers. We generally require prepayment for ancestry services, and perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. We record an allowance for doubtful accounts to allow for any amounts that may not be recoverable, which is based on an analysis of our prior collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. Based on management's review of accounts receivable, an allowance for doubtful accounts of $8,740 at December 31, 2005 is considered adequate. We determine receivables to be past due based on the payment terms of original invoices. F-15
SB-259th “Page” of 82TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 59th
Concentrations of Credit Risk -------------------------------- Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and receivables. With respect to cash and cash equivalents, we maintained all of our cash and cash equivalents in deposit accounts with three financial institutions in the United States, which deposit accounts at times may exceed federally insured limits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. At December 31, 2005, we had a receivable from a distributor which was 18% and another receivable from a customer of 12% of our outstanding accounts receivable balance. We also had sales of 21% and 12% to two customers during 2005. Inventory --------- Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market. At December 31, 2005, inventory consisted of $298,685 of raw material. Property and Equipment ------------------------ Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost. Major additions are capitalized, while minor additions and maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the useful life of an asset, are charged to operations when incurred. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is provided primarily using the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives of two to five years. Amortization of leasehold improvements, included with depreciation, is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed and, where appropriate, changes are made prospectively. Long Lived Assets ------------------- We periodically review our long-lived assets for indications of impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the non-discounted future cash flows of the enterprise are less than their carrying amount, their carrying amounts are reduced to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. There was no impairment of long-lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Research & Development ------------------------ Research and Development ("R&D") expenses are fully charged to the consolidated statements of operations when incurred. We do not perform R&D for other entities. We do have consulting arrangements which provides added depth to our team. These arrangements are typically based upon a fee paid monthly or quarterly. We also purchase samples that we use in our testing, and these samples are expensed when purchased. Direct materials and laboratory supplies are charged to R&D at the time they are used in R&D. Our R&D costs also include salaries and related personnel expenses, equipment expenses and administrative expenses that are allocated to R&D based upon personnel costs. Income Taxes ------------- Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances have been established against our deferred tax assets due to uncertainties in our ability to generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to make realization of such assets more likely than not. We have not recognized an income tax benefit for our operating losses generated during 2005 and 2004 based on uncertainties concerning our ability to generate taxable income in future periods. There was no income tax receivable or payable at December 31, 2005 and 2004. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not. Statement of Cash Flows -------------------------- For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Advertising ----------- Advertising costs, which approximated $202,105 and $24,585, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, are expensed as they are incurred. F-16

Stock-Based Compensation ------------------------- We account for equity instruments (except stock options) issued to employees for services based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and account for equity instruments issued to non-employees based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments, whichever is more reliably measurable. We recognize as expense the fair value of all stock-based awards to employees on the date of grant and to non-employees based upon the measurement date. The amount related to the value of the stock awards is amortized on a straight-line basis over the required service periods. For all stock option awards to employees and board of directors, we have elected to apply the intrinsic value based method of accounting as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related Interpretations. Under the intrinsic value based method, compensation cost is the excess of the quoted market price of the stock at grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied to stock-based employee compensation, as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and SFAS 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - transition and disclosure", an amendment of SFAS No. 123 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004: [Download Table] 2004 2005 ------------ ------------ Net loss as reported $ 8,715,852 $ 3,734,982 Total stock-based employee compensation expenses determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects 1,942,225 211,777 Pro forma net loss $10,658,077 $ 3,946,759 ============ ============ Loss per share basic and diluted: As reported $ 0.09 $ 0.11 ============ ============ Pro forma $ 0.11 $ 0.11 ============ ============ See Note I, for additional disclosure and discussion of our option plan and option activity. Derivative Financial Instruments ---------------------------------- We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow or market risks. However, our notes outstanding with Dutchess have certain derivatives such as: - embedded conversion features that are indexed to our common stock (if we were to default on the notes) - shares that were issued as incentive shares which are classified as liabilities when physical or net-share settlement is not within our control and - embedded conversion features in the convertible debentures that are indexed to our common stock In such instances, net-cash settlement is assumed for financial accounting and reporting, even when the terms of the underlying contracts do not provide for net-cash settlement. Such financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the close of each reporting period with any difference recorded as a gain or loss on derivatives in our Statement of Operations. If any of the derivatives could potentially result in our having indeterminable shares (i.e. from a conversion price that is indexed to our stock), we then are required per Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock to classify all other convertible preferred stock, convertible debt and outstanding warrants (that by their own contract terms were not considered to be a derivative) at fair value as a derivative liability. The initial entry to record the derivative liability for these other convertible preferred stock, convertible debt and outstanding warrants is offset to paid-in capital. At each subsequent reporting period, we continue to record these instruments at fair value with any difference recorded as a gain or loss on derivatives in our Statement of Operations until such time as we do not have an instrument with indeterminate shares. Then these other convertible preferred stock, convertible debt and warrants are reclassified at fair value back to paid-in capital. Redeemable Instruments ----------------------- For any shares that were issued under an agreement whereby there are criteria that potentially require net-cash settlement, those shares are recorded at fair value as redeemable instruments. Each reporting period these redeemable instruments are recorded at fair value with any differences being recorded as a gain or loss on derivatives in our Statement of Operations. Intangible Assets ------------------ Intangible assets are comprised of goodwill and other intangibles arising from the Trace Genetics, Inc. acquisition and technology rights from Ellipsis and Kenna acquisitions. We apply SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill consists of the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. SFAS 142 requires, among other things, an annual impairment test for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. Goodwill is not amortized; however the technology rights we acquired are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. F-17
SB-261st “Page” of 82TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 61st
Investments ----------- We have an investment with less than a 20% ownership interest in a private company over which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence, and the fair value of which is not readily determinable. This investment is accounted for under the cost method. Foreign Currency Translation ------------------------------ We have one subsidiary whose functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The translation adjustments (which are based upon the exchange rate at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and the weighted average rate for the income statement) are recorded on our balance sheet in the accumulated comprehensive loss section of our Stockholders' Deficit. We had a loan receivable that was in Euros. This loan was paid in full during 2005. This loan was translated at the exchange rate in effect at each reporting date. Any gain or loss from this foreign currency translation was included in our Statement of Operations for that period. Patent Costs We incur costs to file and prosecute patent applications to protect our intellectual property. Given that we are in our research and development stage, currently the future benefit is unknown, and we are unable to discern if there will be a future benefit related to the patents. Given that the future benefit is unknown, the costs associated with the patent applications are typically expensed in the periods incurred. Recent Pronouncements ---------------------- In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) ("SFAS 123(R)"), "Share-Based Payment." This statement replaces SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." SFAS 123(R) will require the fair value of all stock option awards issued to employees to be recorded as an expense over the related vesting period. The statement also requires the recognition of compensation expense for the fair value of any unvested stock option awards outstanding at the date of adoption. The adoption of SFAS 123(R) will impact us by requiring us to use the fair-value based method of accounting for future and unvested employee stock transactions rather than the intrinsic method we currently use. We adopted this SFAS as of January 1, 2006. The adoption of this SFAS does not have an impact on our financial statements through December 31, 2005, but will increase the cost of equity compensation by approximately $12,000 during 2006 related to 600,000 options that are not vested at December 31, 2005. During 2006 the options will be valued at fair value instead of the intrinsic value. In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" ("SFAS 154"). This statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20 "Accounting Changes" and FASB Statement No. 3 "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements". SFAS 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this SFAS requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of equity or net assets for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, this SFAS requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. We adopted this SFAS as of January 1, 2006. There is no current impact on our financial statements with the adoption of this SFAS. In February 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments". This statement improves financial reporting by eliminating the exemption from applying SFAS 133 to interests in securitized financial assets so that similar instruments are accounted for similarly regardless of the form of the instruments. This statement also improves financial reporting by allowing a preparer to elect fair value measurement at acquisition, at issuance, or when a previously recognized financial instrument is subject to a remeasurement event, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, in cases in which a derivative would otherwise have to be bifurcated. We are required to adopt this SFAS 155 for all financial instruments acquired or issued beginning January 1, 2007. We are reviewing this SFAS to determine the impact on our hybrid financial instruments. Net Loss Per Common Share ----------------------------- Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares outstanding as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, which consist of employee stock options, warrants, convertible debenture as well as the issuance of common stock under compensation agreements, have been excluded from diluted net loss per common share calculations because they are anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share is identical as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and for the period December 10, 1998 to December 31, 2005. The shares used in computing the net loss per share have been adjusted for the 20 for one reverse stock split. F-18

The following table summarizes our potential common stock equivalents outstanding at December 31, 2005 which may dilute future earnings per share. [Download Table] Convertible notes ** 417,045,130 Convertible preferred stock ** 8,959,348 Warrants and options 82,575,889 508,580,367 **The amount of shares the convertible notes and convertible preferred stock was estimated using the conversion price at December 31, 2005. The conversion price varies based upon the price of our common stock. The convertible notes include the conversion of the Dutchess notes in accordance with SFAS 133 for derivative instruments. Reclassifications ----------------- Certain minor reclassifications have been made in the 2004 financial statements to conform to the classifications used in 2005. NOTE B - GOING CONCERN Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred losses since our inception, and have experienced and continue to experience negative cash flows from operations. In addition, we have a working capital deficiency of approximately $7,577,917 (of which $6,981,306 is from a derivative liability) and deficit accumulated during the development stage of $29,078,617 at December 31, 2005, and will continue to have ongoing requirements for substantial additional capital investment to accomplish our business plan over the next several years. Over the past few years, our operations have been funded through related party funding, sales of common and preferred stock, the issuance of notes, put notices to Dutchess Private Equities Fund, II, L.P ("Dutchess"), the issuance of convertible debentures and the conversion of the debenture into common stock and the related exercise of non-detachable warrants. We continue to experience some success generating operating revenues; however, we do not expect our revenue stream to be sufficient to cover costs of operations in the immediate future. We anticipate that the funding we expect to receive from the put notices to Dutchess, the Dutchess notes which are paid with the puts and the minimum conversions of the outstanding debenture into common stock and the related exercise of the non-detachable warrants will fund our operating activities through 2006. However, there can be no assurance the minimum conversions of the outstanding debenture into common stock and the related exercise of the non-detachable warrants will continue, and the put notices to Dutchess will be funded or that we will have the cash flow to meet our operating requirements. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. NOTE C - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - NET Property and equipment consists of the following at December 31, 2005: [Download Table] Leased equipment under capital lease $ 721,838 Furniture, fixtures and other equipment 1,062,252 Leasehold improvements 171,727 ------------- Subtotal 1,955,817 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization (726,684) ------------- Property and equipment - net $ 1,229,133 ============= Accumulated depreciation and amortization includes $67,455 of accumulated depreciation of leased equipment as of December 31, 2005. Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $222,626 and $182,774, respectively. NOTE D - IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS As of December 31, 2005, we had capitalized $57,582 of costs related to technology rights we had acquired in conjunction with the Ellipsis and Kenna acquisitions. We are amortizing the remaining unamortized technology rights over a five-year life. The technology rights at December 31, 2005 were as follows: [Download Table] Technology Rights $57,582 Accumulated Amortization (1,451) -------- $56,131 F-19
SB-263rd “Page” of 82TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 63rd
The amortization of the technology rights during 2005 was $1,451. The estimated annual amortization expense is $11,516 for each for the next four years and $10,067 for the fifth year. We have evaluated the technology rights for impairment and believe there is no impairment of these technology rights at December 31, 2005. We have $269,827 of goodwill and intangibles recorded related to our acquisition of Trace Genetics, Inc. As of December 31, 2005, we are in the process of evaluating the intangibles acquired in the Trace Genetics, Inc. acquisition, thus the purchase price allocation between goodwill and other intangibles has not been finalized and is subject to change. NOTE E - INCOME TAXES We recognized losses for both financial and tax reporting purposes during each of the periods in the accompanying statements of operations. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes and/or deferred income taxes payable has been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. Since our acquisition of DNAP Florida, we have incurred net operating losses for income tax purposes of approximately $26 million. These net operating loss carry forwards expire in various years through the year ended December 31, 2025, however because we have experienced changes in control and have incurred significant operating losses, utilization of the income tax loss carry forwards is not assured. As a result, the non-current deferred income tax asset arising from these net operating loss carry forwards and from other temporary differences is not recorded in the accompanying balance sheets because we established a valuation allowance to fully reserve such assets due to the uncertainty of our realization of this benefit. It will be very difficult for the Company to use the $6.4 million net operating loss related to 1999 because of our bankruptcy proceedings and changes in control, and various other matters. It is included in the net operating loss above and in the deferred tax asset recorded on our balance sheet with a full valuation against it. At December 31, 2005, our non-current net deferred income tax assets (assuming an effective income tax rate of approximately 38%) consisted of the following: [Download Table] Non-current deferred income tax asset: Net operating loss carry forwards $9,606,000 Bonus and deferred compensation accrual 264,000 Option expense 275,000 Research credit unused 208,000 Impairment of assets and fixed assets depreciation 121,000 Other 2,000 Total deferred income tax asset 10,476,000 ------------ Less valuation allowance (10,476,000) Net deferred income tax asset $ - ============ Differences between the federal benefit computed at a statutory rate and our effective tax rate and provision are as follows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004: [Download Table] 2005 2004 ------------ ------------ Statutory benefit $(2,962,000) $(1,269,000) State tax benefit, net of federal effect (316,000) (136,000) Increase in deferred income tax valuation allowance 2,002,000 1,398,000 Intrinsic value of convertible debt and non-detachable warrants and discount on convertible debt 735,000 - Derivative losses, net 602,000 - Non-deductible expenses 38,000 - Other (99,000) 700 $ - $ - ============ ============ NOTE F - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE La Jolla Convertible Debenture --------------------------------- On November 25, 2003, we closed on a $500,000, 8% convertible debenture with non-detachable warrants with La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. ("La Jolla"). We pay interest on a monthly basis with a principal balloon payment due on the extended maturity date of November 25, 2007. Per the agreement, La Jolla shall convert at least 5% of the face value of the debenture each calendar month into common shares of the Company. The number of common stock shares into which this debenture may be converted is equal to the dollar amount of the debenture being converted multiplied by sixteen, minus the product of the conversion price multiplied by fifteen times the dollar amount of the debenture being converted, and the entire foregoing result shall be divided by the conversion price. The conversion price is equal to the lesser of (i) $0.20 or (ii) 80% of the average of the five lowest daily value weighted average price of our common stock during the twenty trading days prior to La Jolla's election to convert. We have the right to reject a conversion if the stock price is below $0.50 per share. If we exercise this right, we then are obligated to pay the portion of the debenture the conversion notice was for plus applicable unpaid accrued interest and a premium equal to 10% of those amounts. F-20
SB-264th “Page” of 82TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 64th
Per the agreement, if La Jolla would be deemed the beneficial owner of more than 4.99% of the then outstanding share of our common stock, then La Jolla shall not have the right to convert any portion of this debenture that would exceed 4.99% The non-detachable warrants must be exercised concurrently with the conversion of debt to common stock by La Jolla. La Jolla has the right to exercise warrants equaling fifteen times the dollar amount of the debenture being converted at an exercise price of $1.00. If La Jolla does not convert at least 5% of the warrants per month, then La Jolla will not be able to collect interest on the debenture for that month. The warrants issued to La Jolla expire on November 25, 2007. On February 18, 2004, the Convertible debenture and Warrant to Purchase Common Stock agreements were amended. If La Jolla does not convert at least 5% of the face value of the debenture and exercise at least 5% of the warrants in any particular calendar month, La Jolla may wire to us $375,000 less the dollar amount of warrants exercised in that month within five business days of the end of the month. Should La Jolla fail to wire us such funds, La Jolla shall not be entitled to collect interest on the debenture for that month. If breached more than once, then we may terminate the agreements with La Jolla and the debenture becomes due six months thereafter with accrued interest. For any month the minimum payment was required to be paid and was not paid, La Jolla and we agreed in writing for them to not fund the payment. On June 28, 2005, La Jolla exercised its right to increase its note by $250,000 with the same terms as the previous convertible debenture except the annual interest rate is two percent. This convertible debenture has the same terms and conditions as the initial La Jolla note. In accordance with EITF 00-19 "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company's Own Stock" the conversion feature of this debenture is classified as equity. We recorded $250,000 for the intrinsic value associated with the convertible debt and non-detachable warrants which was recorded as a discount to the debt and capitalized $15,000 of deferred financing costs. The debt discount and the deferred financing costs will be amortized to interest expense over the two-year term of the note. On October 20, 2005, we amended the La Jolla convertible debenture and the warrant granted to La Jolla to confirm that the warrant exercise price remained at $1 per share after the twenty-to-one reverse stock split, the maturity date of the debenture and the expiration date of the warrant was extended to November 25, 2007 and that when La Jolla exercised its option to add $250,000 in principal to the convertible debenture that we granted to La Jolla the right to purchase an additional 3,750,000 shares of our common stock under the warrant. During December 2004, La Jolla converted $280,000 of convertible debentures into our common stock and exercised non-detachable warrants to purchase 210,000 shares of our common stock. During 2005, La Jolla converted $189,000 of convertible debentures into our common stock and exercised non-detachable warrants to purchase 1,467,000 shares of our common stock. See Note I below for a further discussion of this conversion. La Jolla converted additional debentures into common stock after yearend. See Note N below for additional information on these conversions. Dutchess June Note -------------------- On June 30, 2005, we issued to Dutchess a promissory note in the amount of $1,560,000 for a purchase price of $1,300,000. The note is due and payable in full on January 30, 2006. Other than the $260,000 discount inherent in the purchase price, the note is non-interest-bearing. The note will be repaid using the proceeds of each put notice delivered by us to Dutchess under the September 2004 Investment Agreement (see Note L below). The required repayments under the note increase if we raise additional capital during the term of the note (other than capital raised under facilities in existence as of the date of the note). In connection with the note, we paid Dutchess a facility fee of $65,000 and issued to Dutchess 1,250,000 shares of restricted common stock as incentive shares, which were registered in July. The value recorded for these shares was $250,000 at June 30, 2005. These shares have been sold by Dutchess during the fourth quarter. The $65,000 fee was expensed as there was no basis to record as a discount. We also paid $52,000 of fees to Athena which were recorded as deferred financing fees and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. In accordance with EITF 00-19 "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company's Own Stock", the proceeds from this note were allocated to embedded derivative features indexed to the Company's common stock which were the convertible feature if the note is in default and the common stock issued as an incentive debenture. See Derivative Liabilities and Redeemable Instruments, below. The resulting discount of $1,560,000 to the debt instrument is being amortized to interest expense over the term of this note using the effective method. Amortization during the year ended December 31, 2005 amounted to $1,560,000 on this note. This note was paid in full at December 31, 2005. F-21

Dutchess August Note ---------------------- On August 1, 2005, we issued to Dutchess a promissory note in the amount of $840,000 for a purchase price of $700,000. The difference of $140,000 was recorded as a discount on debt and will be amortized to interest expense over the one-year term of the note. The note is due and payable in full on August 1, 2006. Other than the $140,000 discount inherent in the purchase price, the note is non-interest-bearing. The note will be repaid using the proceeds of each put notice delivered by us to Dutchess under the September 2004 Investment Agreement (see Note L below). The required repayments under the note increase if we raise additional capital during the term of the note (other than capital raised under facilities in existence as of the date of the note). In connection with the note, we paid Dutchess a facility fee of $65,000 and issued 2.5 million shares of restricted common stock as incentive shares. The value recorded for these shares was $225,000 at August 1, 2005 and $52,750 at December 31, 2005 and is recorded as a Redeemable Instrument on our Balance Sheet. The difference of $172,250 was recorded as a gain on derivative contracts. The $65,000 fee was expensed to interest expense as there was no basis to record as a discount. We also paid $28,000 of fees to Athena which were recorded as deferred financing fees and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. In accordance with EITF 00-19 "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company's Own Stock", the proceeds from this note were allocated to embedded derivative features indexed to the Company's common stock which were the convertible feature if the note is in default and the common stock issued as an incentive debenture. See Derivative Liabilities and Redeemable Instruments, below. The resulting discount of $840,000 to the debt instrument is being amortized to interest expense over the term of this note using the effective method. Amortization during the year ended December 31, 2005 amounted to $209,066 on this note. We are required to register the 2.5 million shares of common stock issued to Dutchess in conjunction with the August note in the next registration statement that we file. If we do not, then we must issue 1.5 million additional shares for each time we file a registration statement and do not register the initial 2.5 million shares. If there is an event of default with either promissory note to Dutchess, Dutchess has the right to convert the remaining principal at the lesser of (i) fifty percent of the lowest closing bid price during the fifteen trading days immediately preceding the maturity date or (ii) 100% of the lowest bid price for the twenty trading days immediately preceding the maturity date. At December 31, 2005, there was no event of default. Dutchess October Note ----------------------- On October 21, 2005, we issued to Dutchess a promissory note in the amount of $1,380,000 for a purchase price of $1,150,000. The difference of $230,000 was recorded as a discount on debt and will be amortized to interest expense over the one-year term of the note. The note is due and payable in full on December 31, 2006. Other than the $230,000 discount inherent in the purchase price, the note is non-interest-bearing. The note will be repaid using the proceeds of each put notice delivered by us to Dutchess under the September 2004 Investment Agreement (see Note L below). The required repayments under the note increase if we raise additional capital during the term of the note (other than capital raised under facilities in existence as of the date of the note). In connection with the note, we paid Dutchess a facility fee of $65,000 and issued to Dutchess a non-interest bearing convertible debenture in the amount of $330,000 payable on October 21, 2010. The shares of common stock underlying the debenture carry piggyback registration rights. The debenture may be converted at Dutchess' option at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 75% of the lowest closing bid price during the 15 trading days prior to the conversion date or $0.013. The $65,000 fee was expensed to interest expense as there was no basis to record as a discount. We also paid $43,200 of fees to Athena which were recorded as deferred financing fees and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. In accordance with EITF 00-19 "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company's Own Stock", the proceeds from this note were allocated to embedded derivative features indexed to the Company's common stock which were the convertible feature if the note is in default and the convertible feature of the convertible debenture. See Derivative Liabilities and Redeemable Instruments, below. The resulting discount of $1,380,000 to the debt instrument and the $330,000 to the convertible debenture is being amortized to interest expense over the term of this note using the effective method. Amortization during the year ended December 31, 2005 amounted to $47,275 on this note and $149 on the convertible debenture. If there is an event of default with either promissory note to Dutchess, Dutchess has the right to convert the remaining principal at the lesser of (i) fifty percent of the lowest closing bid price during the fifteen trading days immediately preceding the conversion date or (ii) 100% of the lowest bid price for the twenty trading days immediately preceding the default date. At December 31, 2005, there was no event of default. F-22

Dutchess December Note ------------------------ On December 22, 2005, we issued to Dutchess a promissory note in the amount of $1,380,000 for a purchase price of $1,150,000. The difference of $230,000 was recorded as a discount on debt and will be amortized to interest expense over the one-year term of the note. The note is due and payable in full on December 15, 2006. Other than the $230,000 discount inherent in the purchase price, the note is non-interest-bearing. The note will be repaid using the proceeds of each put notice delivered by us to Dutchess under the September 2004 Investment Agreement (see Note L below). The required repayments under the note increase if we raise additional capital during the term of the note (other than capital raised under facilities in existence as of the date of the note). In connection with the note, we paid Dutchess a facility fee of $65,000 and issued to Dutchess a non-interest bearing convertible debenture in the amount of $330,000 payable on December 15, 2010. The shares of common stock underlying the debenture carry piggyback registration rights. The debenture may be converted at Dutchess' option at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 75% of the lowest closing bid price during the 15 trading days prior to the conversion date or $0.022. The $65,000 fee was expensed to interest expense as there was no basis to record as a discount. We also paid $43,400 of fees to Athena which were recorded as deferred financing fees and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. In accordance with EITF 00-19 "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company's Own Stock", the proceeds from this note were allocated to embedded derivative features indexed to the Company's common stock which were the convertible feature if the note is in default and the convertible feature of the convertible debenture. See Derivative Liabilities and Redeemable Instruments, below. The resulting discount of $1,380,000 to the debt instrument and the $330,000 to the convertible debenture is being amortized to interest expense over the term of this note using the effective method. Amortization during the year ended December 31, 2005 amounted to $11,285 on this note and $114 on the convertible debenture. If there is an event of default with either promissory note to Dutchess, Dutchess has the right to convert the remaining principal at the lesser of (i) fifty percent of the lowest closing bid price during the fifteen trading days immediately preceding the maturity date or (ii) 100% of the lowest bid price for the twenty trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. At December 31, 2005, there was no event of default. Dutchess Security Agreement ----------------------------- All of the Dutchess notes are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our assets. In each of the Dutchess note agreements, at maturity, if there is any unpaid amounts, Dutchess can exercise its right to increase the outstanding amount by ten percent and an additional two and one-half percent per month. Line of Credit ---------------- During May 2005, we renewed our $50,000 line of credit for an additional year. The interest rate is two percent over the Bank of America prime rate. At December 31, 2005, we did not have any outstanding balance on this line of credit. Debt Maturities ---------------- The following is the debt maturities for the next five years for non-related party debt: [Download Table] 2006 $3,600,009 2007 251,000 2008 - 2009 - 2010 660,000 Total debt 4,511,009 ----------- Less discounts on debt (4,116,916) Current portion (267,635) Long term portion of debt $ 126,458 =========== NOTE G - NOTES PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTIES At December 31, 2005, our notes payable to related parties is $238,381 owed to our Chief Scientific Officer. The annual interest rate is 8% and is accrued throughout the loan term. At December 31, 2005, we entered into a new note with him whereby the accrued interest of $56,981 was included in the principal of the note. Interest during 2006 will accrue at 8% and the accrued interest and note is due in a lump sum payment on December 31, 2006. During 2005 and 2004, this note was reduced by $33,634 and $38,068, respectively for payments made on his behalf to third parties. During 2004, the Company paid $75,000 to George Frudakis (father of our Chief Scientific Officer and a shareholder of the Company) to pay the principal of approximately $45,000, accrued interest of approximately $4,000 and approximately $26,000 was recorded as other expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations to satisfy in full any other claims related to his note and funding agreement. NOTE H - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES AND REDEEMABLE INSTRUMENTS The balance sheet caption derivative liabilities consists of (a) embedded conversion features bifurcated from the Dutchess notes and convertible debentures and (b) the classification of all other convertible preferred stock, convertible debt and outstanding warrants that on their own contract terms were not considered to be a derivative but are required under EITF 00-19 to be recorded at fair value as a derivative liability because the embedded conversion feature of the Dutchess notes may potentially result in our having indeterminable shares. At June 30, 2005, we reduced additional paid-in-capital by $916,505 to reclass the other convertible preferred stock, convertible debt and outstanding warrants from equity to a derivative liability based upon fair value. At December 31, 2005, these embedded derivative financial instruments are indexed to an aggregate of 410,770,130 shares of our common stock and the other convertible preferred stock, convertible debt and outstanding warrants are convertible into 31,144,125 shares of our common stock at December 31, 2005 and are carried at fair value. F-23

Each Dutchess note has a conversion feature that can be triggered only if we default on the note. This is because one of the default criteria in the notes is that the registration statement for shares issued under the Dutchess Investment Agreement does not remain effective for any reason. Under EITF 00-19, it is deemed out of our control to maintain an effective registration statement; therefore we have to assume that we could possibly default on these notes. At the point of a default there is a conversion feature in the notes which then results in our recording a derivative liability. The incentive debentures as a part of the October and December Dutchess notes agreements contain a conversion feature which indexes the exercise price to our common stock. This results in indeterminate shares which require us to record this conversion feature as a derivative liability. The following tabular presentation set forth information about the derivative instruments at and for the year ended December 31, 2005: [Enlarge/Download Table] Dutchess Convertible Outstanding La Jolla Derivatives Preferred Stock Warrants convertible debt Total ----------- --------------- ----------- ---------------- ----------- Fair value $ 6,442,820 $ 189,042 $ 272,873 $ 76,571 $ 6,981,306 Fair value adjustments, income (loss) $(2,595,695) $ 313,851 $ 292,794 $ (21,980) $(2,011,030) Fair value for option-based financial instruments is determined using the Black-Scholes Valuation Model. Significant assumptions that were used for the embedded conversion features on the Dutchess notes, other convertible debt and warrants, included: conversion or strike prices ranging from $0.0045 - $0.52; volatility factors ranging from 112% to 271%; terms remaining for all instruments ranging from four months to five years; and risk free rates ranging from 3.35% to 4.38%. The shares that were issued as incentive shares and are outstanding also fall under the derivative criteria in accordance with EITF 00-19 and we had to fair value the 1,250,000 and 2,500,000 shares of common stock issued as incentive shares under two of the Dutchess notes and record them as Redeemable Instruments. At December 31, 2005, the 1,250,000 shares had been sold by Dutchess and the 2,500,000 shares which were retained by Dutchess were valued at $52,750. A gain on derivatives was recorded of $400,125 for the year ended December 31, 2005 as the shares are fair valued at each reporting period and any difference is recorded as a gain (or loss) on derivatives. NOTE I - CERTAIN EQUITY TRANSACTIONS Series A Convertible Stock ----------------------------- During 2004, we amended our articles of incorporation to designate 50,000 shares of our preferred stock as Series A preferred stock, $0.01 par value. The liquidation value is $10 per share. Each share of Series A preferred stock shall have the right to one vote for each share of common stock into which such holder's shares of Series A preferred stock could then be converted. The Series A preferred stock holders shall have the right to convert on the first day of the month after the month in which a registration statement (other than a registration statement on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor form thereto) filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission becomes effective. The other conversion dates shall be the first day of the fourth, seventh and tenth months after the month in which such registration statement becomes effective. If on any conversion date, the conversion price would be less than $0.025 per share, we may elect to defer the conversion date to the first day of the next month. If, on such deferred conversion date, the conversion price would be less than $0.025 per share, we may again defer the conversion date to the first day of the next month. Upon such second deferred conversion date, the Series A preferred stock shall be converted without further deferral. Such conversion shall be effected at our office or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the original Series A preferred stock issue price by the conversion price applicable to such share, determined as hereafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The conversion price is the lesser of (i) eighty percent (80%) of the average of the five lowest daily volume weighted average prices of our common stock during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the conversion date, or (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the closing price of our common stock on the trading day prior to the conversion date. Each share of Series A preferred stock not previously converted shall automatically be converted, without the payment of additional consideration, into shares of common stock at the conversion price, as applicable, in effect on the date of and immediately prior to the last conversion date described above. During 2004, we issued 40,000 shares of Series A preferred stock. We received $272,535 of cash (net of $17,465 of stock issuance costs) and reduced an accrued liability for $110,000 related to the issuance of these 40,000 shares.

Employee Stock Options and Awards ------------------------------------- We have a stock option plan that provides for the granting of stock options and awards to officers, and employees. The objectives of this plan include attracting and retaining the best personnel, providing for additional performance incentives, and promoting our success by providing employees the opportunity to acquire common stock. On November 11, 2005, the Board of Directors voted to amend the 2001 Scientist Stock Option Plan to increase the options available under the plan to 77,630,000.

The vesting period typically ranges from immediate vesting to vesting over a four-year period and the options typically have an expiration term of ten years. A summary of the options granted to employees as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and changes during the year are presented below: [Download Table] Weighted Number of Average Shares Exercise Price ---------- -------------- Outstanding at December 31, 2003 447,500 $0.300 Granted - - Exercised (12,500) $0.260 Cancelled - - ---------- -------------- Outstanding at December 31, 2004 435,000 $0.300 Granted 67,242,362 0.046 Exercised - Cancelled (1,011,250) $0.436 ---------- -------------- Outstanding at December 31, 2005 66,666,112 $0.041 ---------- -------------- Options exercisable at December 31, 2005 66,066,112 $0.042 ========== Options available for grant at December 31, 2005 12,493,535 ========== The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2005 was $0.032.

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center License Agreement ------------------------------------------------------------ Effective April 4, 2005, we entered into a license agreement with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center ("Beth Israel"), a Massachusetts nonprofit corporation to develop a new, more potent and longer acting form of the anemia drug Erythropoietin ("EPO"). EPO is a glycoprotein naturally made by the body to stimulate red blood cell production; the currently marketed forms are manufactured using recombinant DNA technology and are used to treat anemia or low blood cell count. Under the Agreement, Beth Israel has granted us an exclusive license to United States and foreign patents related to certain forms of EPO. We have the right to develop, use, market and sell products derived from the licensed patents. In exchange for the license, we paid Beth Israel a $25,000 signing fee and agreed to make certain milestone payments linked to their progress in developing marketable products from the licensed technology. The total of payments, if all milestones are reached, is $2,150,000. The milestone payments are nonrefundable. Up to $200,000 of this amount is creditable against future royalties. In addition to the milestone payments, we must also pay Beth Israel an annual royalty of 4% of the net sales of all products developed from the licensed technology. A minimum royalty payment of $100,000 a year is due upon the commencement of commercial sales in any territory worldwide. At December 31, 2005, we had recorded the $25,000 as research and development costs. Consulting Agreement with Dr. Arthur Sytkowski --------------------------------------------------- On June 7, 2005, we entered into a consulting agreement with Dr. Arthur Sytkowski, the Director of Beth Israel, to consult on the development of a new, more potent and longer acting form of EPO. On September 1, 2005, we entered into a new consulting agreement amending and restating the June 7, 2005 consulting agreement. Under the amended consulting agreement, Dr. Sytkowski has agreed to perform certain consulting services, including advising on medical, regulatory and patent issues, training personnel and providing assistance with EPO research and development. In exchange for the services, we will pay Dr. Sytkowski $10,000 a month for twelve months, five annual incentive payments of $25,000 each and certain milestone payments linked to our progress under the Beth Israel license in developing marketable products from the licensed EPO technology. The total of all payments to Dr. Sytkowski under the agreement, assuming all milestones are reached, is $370,000. The milestone payments will be reduced - dollar for dollar - to the extent Dr. Sytkowski receives payments from Beth Israel relating to the same milestone events under the Beth Israel license. At December 31, 2005, we had recorded $70,000 as research and development costs. Collaborative Research Agreement with Beth Israel ------------------------------------------------------ During late June, we entered into a collaborative research agreement with Beth Israel to provide three researchers to us to conduct certain research work related to our EPO research. On August 15, 2005, this agreement was amended. The total cost per the amended agreement is $352,192. We have paid $176,096 and the remaining $176,096 is due 180 days after the execution of the amendment.

We agreed to provide the consultant with a number of shares of our common stock equal to 2.5% of the net revenues derived from a product and any subsequent versions of the products developed with his help.

License Agreement with Dr. Mark Froimowitz ----------------------------------------------- On October 25, 2005, we entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Dr. Mark Froimowitz to develop a series of methylphenidate analogs or Ritalin-like compounds targeting the clinical development of enhanced pharmaceuticals for the treatment of drug addiction, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ("ADHD"), and depression. The licensed compounds are analogs of Ritalin, a well-known drug used for treatment of ADHD. The analogs are designed specifically to have a slow onset and increased half-life in the bloodstream, thus reducing a patient's required daily dosage and the potential for drug abuse. We have the exclusive right to develop, use, market and sell products derived from the licensed compounds. We are obligated to pay the licensor a two percent (2%) quarterly royalty fee on the net sales of products covered by the license. Minimum annual maintenance fees of $25,000 are required for the license term, but will be deducted from royalties. Additionally, the license requires progress payments of up to $275,000 upon the successful development and approval of licensed products. The license's initial five (5) year term is supplemented by options capable of extending the license term for up to twenty years. Operating Lease Commitments ----------------------------- Our operating facility lease for our Sarasota, Florida location expires on May 31, 2006 with an option to extend for three months and if we relocate by the end of the extended term which is September 1, 2006 to anywhere in Sarasota or Manatee counties, the landlord will pay up to $65,000 of our tenant relocation expenses. Our operating facility lease for our Richmond, California location expires August 1, 2006. Our operating facility lease for Toronto, Canada expires April 30, 2008. The payments are $26,187 Canadian dollars plus common area maintenance amounts for the next two years and $8,729 Canadian dollars plus common area maintenance amounts during 2008. The conversion rate from Canadian dollars to US dollars at December 31, 2005 is 0.858. Rent expense amounted to $104,850 and $64,653 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Obligations under Capital Leases ----------------------------------- We have capitalized rental obligations under leases of equipment. The obligations, which mature in 2006 through 2008, represent the total present value of future rental payments discounted at the interest rates implicit in the leases. Future minimum lease payments under capital leases are: [Download Table] 2006 $ 295,234 2007 168,657 2008 13,167 ----------- Total minimum lease payments 477,058 Less amount representing interest (39,617) ----------- Present value of net minimum lease payments 437,441 Less current portion (264,936) ----------- $ 172,505 =========== During 2004, we purchased, through a capital lease, computer equipment. In order to qualify for the lease; the financing company required a letter of credit. Our bank issued a letter of credit of approximately $20,000 and required that we purchase a certificate of deposit in the amount of the letter of credit. We recorded the restricted certificate of deposit in other current assets at December 31, 2005. Scientific Advisory Board --------------------------- Currently we have one Scientific Advisory Board member. For the services performed by this member, we are committed to issue 2,500 shares of our common stock each year through 2007. The other Scientific Advisory Board member resigned during 2004. During June 2002, we entered into a two-year agreement with this Scientific Advisory Board member, to collaborate with us to develop a kit product that could be used to infer Ancestry Admixture Ratios in human beings. We have agreed to compensate the consultant with quarterly payments of $4,000 and 2,500 shares of our common stock for the term of this contract. We have also agreed to provide the consultant with a number of shares of our common stock equal to 2.5% of the Net Revenues derived from a product developed with his help. The term of this agreement is two years, and the parties may agree to renew it for consecutive two-year terms. Consulting Agreements ---------------------- Effective September 28, 2004, we have entered into a letter agreement with The Wall Street Group, Inc. ("WSG"). Pursuant to the letter agreement, we have retained WSG as financial public relations counsel. Under the letter agreement, we will pay WSG a cash fee of $7,500 per month and will reimburse them for reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, we will grant an affiliate of WSG a five-year option to purchase as many shares of our common stock as could be purchased on the open market for $100,000 at the closing bid price on September 24, 2004. Either party may terminate the agreement on 90 days written notice. Unless terminated, the agreement will continue in force, and on each anniversary of the agreement, we will grant WSG or its affiliate a similar option to purchase our common stock at our then-current trading price.

During 2005, we had 254,788 shares remaining in escrow with a consulting firm. These shares were valued at $0.021 per share and the $5,376 was expensed to consulting expense during 2005. Litigation ---------- We are involved in certain legal action arising in the ordinary course of business. We are defending these proceedings. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome of these matters, we do not anticipate that these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business or on our consolidated financial position or on our results of operations. On July 8, 2005, a former consultant of ours, Lonnie Bookbinder, filed suit in the Circuit Court of the Twelfth Judicial Circuit of Florida in and for Sarasota County, Florida, Civil Division. The complaint, styled Bookbinder v. DNAPrint Genomics, Inc., Richard Gabriel, Hector Gomez and GenBiomics, LLC, names as defendants us, along with two of our directors and a dissolved limited liability company in which two of our directors were members. The complaint sought damages arising out of services Mr. Bookbinder claims to have provided on our behalf. We deny any liability to Mr. Bookbinder. We filed and prevailed on a Motion to Dismiss the complaint because we believed it did not state a claim. Plaintiff then filed an Amended Complaint. We have a Motion to Dismiss pending on the same grounds as that previously filed. If our Motion to Dismiss is unsuccessful, we intend to defend the litigation vigorously. NOTE K - OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Rent negotiations ------------------ During the third quarter of 2004, we issued 1,522,364 shares of our common stock to the father of a shareholder as payment for the $41,865 accrual we had recorded at December 31, 2003 for renegotiating our lease during 2003. Ellipsis -------- At December 31, 2005, Ellipsis had a receivable of $5,727 from a company that is owned by a director of Ellipsis. Also at December 31, 2005, we recorded a receivable from a company owned by a director of Ellipsis for $47,333 and processed all of our cash disbursements and receipts through that company. Once we had established a cash account for Ellipsis in 2006, this receivable was paid off during 2006. NOTE L - ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS Dutchess Agreement ------------------- Effective September 28, 2004, entered into an Investment Agreement (the "Dutchess Agreement") and a Registration Rights Agreement with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Investor"). Pursuant to the Dutchess Agreement, the Investor has committed to purchase our common stock up to an aggregate purchase price of $35 million over a two-year period. The Dutchess Agreement provides that we from time to time may deliver a notice to the Investor. Such notices will state the dollar amount of common stock that we desire the Investor to purchase. The maximum amount permitted pursuant to any such notice is $600,000, and we can give approximately three such notices per month. Upon receipt of the notice, the Investor is obliged to purchase the dollar amount of common stock set forth in the notice at a purchase price equal to 96% of the average of the two lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the five trading days after the notice. The obligation of the Investor to purchase under the Dutchess Agreement is contingent upon our filing and having declared effective a registration statement registering the resale of the shares by the Investor. Simultaneously, the parties entered into a Registration Rights Agreement requiring us to file such a registration statement. In addition, we are not permitted to provide a notice, and the Investor is not obliged to purchase any shares, in the event that we do not have sufficient authorized shares available for purchase to fulfill such commitment. Although it is dependent on the trading price of our stock, it is very likely that we would have to obtain shareholder approval for an increase in capitalization in order to take advantage of the full $35 million facility. Biofrontera Agreement ---------------------- On July 8, 2005, we entered into an agreement to purchase, and simultaneously closed upon the purchase of, up to an 18% equity interest in Biofrontera AG ("Biofrontera"), a German company in the pharmaceutical business. We purchased the interest in Biofrontera from Technologie-Beteiligungs-Gesellschaft mbH, an instrumentality of the German government. The securities purchased were shares of Biofrontera's series A Preferred Stock, as well as certain debt instruments. On August 8, 2005, we converted the securities purchased into Biofrontera's common stock. We paid approximately 1.8 million Euros ($2.1 million) for 357,179 common stock shares in Biofrontera. On September 19, 2005, we paid an additional 98,245 Euros ($121,000) for an additional 98,145 shares of Biofrontera common stock increasing our ownership of Biofrontera to approximately 18%. In connection with the transaction, two of the members of our Board of Directors, Richard Gabriel and Hector Gomez, were retained on the Biofrontera board. F-30

In addition, to induce the shareholders of Biofrontera to consent to the transaction, we entered into a put agreement with another Biofrontera shareholder, Heidelberg Innovation. Pursuant to this agreement, if by December 31, 2005 Biofrontera does not complete its current offering of debt securities for at least 10 million Euro, Heidelberg Innovation may require us to purchase Heidelberg Innovation's ownership interest in Biofrontera of approximately 49% for 1.6 million Euro (approximately $1.96 million). Biofrontera completed the debt security offering during September 2005 raising 20 million Euros. Therefore, the put obligation to Heidelberg Innovation has terminated.

Pursuant to the agreement, we granted this firm, for a period of twelve months, exclusive authorization to act as our agent (on a best efforts basis) in substantially all of our investment banking activities. As consideration for such services, we have agreed to compensate this entity as follows: - A non-refundable retainer, payable in warrants to purchase our stock valued at $80,000; - A transaction fee equal to the greater of $165,000 or 6% of the aggregate dollar value of the "Aggregate Consideration" paid by investors (provided however that if the total raised is less than $1,000,000, then the fee shall be 16.5% of the amount raised). - Warrants to purchase (at a nominal price) shares of our common stock having a value equal to 4% of the "Aggregate Consideration" paid by investors. During the second quarter of 2003, we issued 188,909 (prior to the accounting for the 20 for 1 reverse split, the shares issued were 3,778,170) shares of our common stock. These shares were issued to three "sophisticated investors" in transactions that we believe were exempt from registration under Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The offerings were not underwritten. During the second quarter of 2003, we entered into a consulting agreement on June 1, 2003 with an individual for certain marketing services. For these services the individual would be paid 250,000 (prior to the accounting for the 20 for 1 reverse split, the shares issued were 5,000,000) shares of our common stock upon our acceptance of the services provided. On January 19, 2004, we accepted the services that were provided and issued the 250,000 shares of our common stock. On July 14, 2003, we entered into an agreement with Sema4, Inc. dba Semaphore.

Semaphore will bill us at an agreed upon hourly rate for investor relation services and general counsel activities.

LJCI has the right to convert the debenture and exercise the warrants after the first full calendar month after the registration statement was filed (which was filed on December 19, 2003). Per the agreement, LJCI shall convert at least 5% of the face value of the debenture each calendar month into common shares of the Company. The number of common stock shares into which this debenture may be converted is equal to the dollar amount of the debenture being converted multiplied by sixteen, minus the product of the conversion price multiplied by fifteen times the dollar amount of the debenture being converted, and the entire foregoing result shall be divided by the conversion price. The conversion price is equal to the lesser of (i) $0.20 or (ii) 80% of the average of the five lowest daily value weighted average price of our common stock during the twenty trading days prior to LJCI's election to convert. On February 18, 2004, the Convertible debenture and Warrant to Purchase Common Stock agreements between the Company and LJCI were amended. If LJCI does not convert at least 5% of the face value of the debenture and exercise at least 5% of the warrants in any particular calendar month, LJCI may wire to us $375,000 less the dollar amount of warrants exercised in that month within five business days of the end of the month. Should LJCI fail to wire DNAP such funds, LJCI shall not be entitled to collect interest on the debenture for that month. If breached more than once, than DNAP may terminate the agreements with LJCI and the debenture becomes due six months thereafter with accrued interest.

Undertakings (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to: (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: (ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information 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)( 230.424(b) of this chapter) 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; and (iii)Include any additional changed material information on the plan of distribution. (e) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy and as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer 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 small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its 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. (g) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: (1) If the small business issuer is relying on Rule 430B ( 230.430B of this chapter): (i) Each prospectus filed by the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)( 230.424(b)(3) of this chapter) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and (ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) ( 230.424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) of this chapter) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x)( 230.415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) of this chapter) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or (iii) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)( 230.424(b) of this chapter)as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A ( 230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
