In this annual report, the term "Nymox" refers to both Nymox Pharmaceutical     
Corporation and its subsidiaries, Nymox Corporation and Serex Inc., and, where  
applicable, a predecessor private corporation, DMS Pharmaceuticals Inc. Unless  
otherwise indicated all dollar amounts are in United States Dollars.            

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS                       

You should be aware that this report contains forward-looking statements about, 
among other things, the anticipated operations, product development, financial  
condition and operating results of Nymox, proposed clinical trials and proposed 
transactions, including collaboration agreements.                               

By forward-looking statements, we mean any statements that are not statements of
historical fact, including (but are not limited to) statements preceded by or   
that include the words, "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "hopes", "targets"
or similar expressions.                                                         

In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions in the Private Securities       
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we are including this cautionary statement to    
identify some of the important factors that could cause Nymox's actual results  
or plans to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements
made by, or on behalf of, Nymox. These factors, many of which are beyond the    
control of Nymox, include Nymox's ability to:                                   

o    identify and capitalize on possible collaboration, strategic partnering or 
divestiture opportunities,                                            

o    obtain suitable financing to support its operations and clinical trials,   

o    manage its growth and the commercialization of its products,               

o    achieve operating efficiencies as it progresses from a development-stage to
a later-stage biotechnology company,                                  

o    successfully compete in its markets,                                       

o    realize the results it anticipates from the clinical trials of its         
products,                                                             

o    succeed in finding and retaining joint venture and collaboration partners  
to assist it in the successful marketing, distribution and            
commercialization of its products,                                    

o    achieve regulatory clearances for its products,                            

o    obtain on commercially reasonable terms adequate product liability         
insurance for its commercialized products,                            

o    adequately protect its proprietary information and technology from         
competitors and avoid infringement of proprietary information and     
technology of its competitors,                                        

o    assure that its products, if successfully developed and commercialized     
 following regulatory approval, are not rendered obsolete by products or
technologies of competitors and                                       

o    not encounter problems with third parties, including key personnel, upon   
whom it is dependent.

(3)  Effective January 1, 2000, the Corporation adopted the United States dollar as its measurement  
     currency as a result of the increasing proportion of operating, financing and investing         
     transactions in the Canadian operations that are denominated in U.S. dollars. For Canadian GAAP 
     purposes, the financial information for all periods presented up to December 31, 1999 has been  
     translated into U.S. dollars at the December 31, 1999 exchange rate, which was 1.4433 Canadian  
     dollars to the U.S. dollar. For U.S. GAAP purposes, assets and liabilities for 1998 and 1999    
     have been translated into U.S. dollars at the ending exchange rate for the respective year and  
     the statement of earnings at the average rate for the respective year. Reference is made to note
     12 of the consolidated financial statements.

Risk Factors                                                                    
The following risk factors apply to Nymox and our industry.                     

It is Uncertain When, if Ever, We Will Make a Profit                            

We first began operations in 1995 and are only in the early stages of commercial
marketing of our diagnostic products, AlzheimAlert(TM), NicAlert(TM) and        
NicoMeter(TM). We have never made a profit. We incurred a net loss of $4.8      
million in 1998, $3.3 million in 1999, $4.0 million in 2000, $3.0 million in    
2001 and $3.4 million in 2002. As of December 31, 2002, Nymox's accumulated     
deficit was $26.7 million.                                                      

We cannot say when, if ever, Nymox will become profitable. Profitability will   
depend on our uncertain ability to generate revenues from the sale of our       
products and the licensing of our technology that will offset the significant   
expenditures required for us to advance our research, protect and extend our    
intellectual property and develop, manufacture, license, market, distribute and 
sell our technology and products successfully. Similar types of expenditures in 
the past have helped produce the net losses reported above.                     

We May Not Be Able to Raise Enough Capital to Develop and Market Our Products   

Nymox funded its operations primarily by selling shares of its common stock.    
Since late 1998, a small portion of the funds came from sales. However, sales   
have not been, and may not be in the foreseeable future, sufficient to meet our 
anticipated financial requirements.                                             

We will continue to need to raise substantial amounts of capital for our        
business activities including our research and development programs, the conduct
of clinical trials needed to obtain regulatory approvals and the marketing and  
sales of our products. We anticipate being able to fund our current total annual
budgeted expenditures of approximately $3 million per year over the next year   
through our current cash position and additional financing, including draw downs
through our common stock private purchase agreement with Lorros-Greyse          
Investments, Inc. Clinical trials will substantially increase cash requirements.
We anticipate being able to meet these requirements as they arise. Any necessary
clinical trials for regulatory approval following successful preliminary        
clinical trials will require considerably more capital. We plan to raise such   
capital either through a new round of financing and/or through partnering with a
major pharmaceutical company. Additional financing may not be available when    
needed, or, if available, may not be available on acceptable terms. If adequate 
funds on acceptable terms are not available, we may have to curtail or eliminate
expenditures for research and development, testing, clinical trials, promotion  
and marketing for some or all of our products.                                  

We Face Challenges in Developing and Improving Our Products                     

Our success depends on our ability to develop or acquire rights to new products 
or to improve our existing products. We are still developing many of our        
products and have not yet brought them to market. We cannot assure you that we  
will be able to develop or acquire rights to such products and to market them   
successfully.

Developing a treatment for Alzheimer's disease is particularly challenging. Many
pharmaceutical companies, institutions and researchers are working on many      
different approaches and treatments. There is no consensus among researchers    
about the cause of this fatal illness and no guarantee that our drug development
programs in this area are targeting significant factors in its cause,           
progression or symptoms. It is difficult to design drug candidates that can     
cross from the bloodstream into the brain, where the damage from Alzheimer's    
disease is occurring. Clinical trials to establish efficacy for drugs that slow 
down the progression of Alzheimer's disease over a period of months or years    
often require that a large number of subjects be tracked over many months or    
years, making them very expensive to conduct. The potentially long period from  
discovery and patenting through development and regulatory approval to the      
market can significantly reduce the patent life of an Alzheimer's disease       
treatment. Any marketed treatment in this area may well eventually face         
competition from "me-too" drugs developed by other pharmaceutical companies     
based on our research. We will be under constant competitive pressure to improve
our products and to develop new treatments in order to protect our position in  
the field.                                                                      

Developing and improving our diagnostic products is also challenging. The       
science and technology of the detection and measurement of very small amounts of
biochemicals in bodily fluids and tissue is evolving rapidly. We may need to    
make significant expenditures in research and development costs and licensing   
fees in order to take advantage of new technologies. If any major changes to our
testing technologies used in our AlzheimAlert(TM) and NicAlert(TM) and          
NicoMeter(TM) tests are made, further validation studies will be required.      
Developing new diagnostic products is more challenging, requiring identification
and validation of the biochemical marker being detected by the new product in   
the clinical context and the development and validation of the product designed 
to detect the marker.                                                           

We Face Significant and Growing Competition                                     

The modern pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are intensely            
competitive, particularly in the field of Alzheimer's disease where there is a  
large unmet need for an effective treatment. Currently there are four drugs with
the same mechanism of action approved for sale in the United States (Aricept(R),
Cognex(R), Exelon(R) and Reminyl(R)). These drugs offer some relatively         
short-term symptomatic relief, but do not treat the underlying causes of the    
illness. Over the past decade, there has been an intense research effort both in
the non-profit sectors such as universities, government agencies and research   
institutes and in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry to develop new  
treatments for Alzheimer's disease. Treatment candidates under development      
include:                                                                        

o    vaccines for Alzheimer's disease;                                          

o    enzyme-blocking therapies intended to block the production of the protein  
     found in the senile plaques characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. A number
of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies including Amgen and     
Bristol-Myers Squibb are working on such therapies.                   

o    Memantine, a drug originally developed by Merz + Co. of Germany and being  
developed in the United States by Forest Laboratories, Inc. and       
Neurobiological Technologies, Inc., intended to reduce cell death and 
     injury said to be caused by the release of too much of a signal transmitter
   in the brain called glutamate. The developers have applied to the FDA for
 its approval for use in the United States to treat Alzheimer's disease.

o    implantation of a shunt (COGNIShunt(TM)) developed by its maker, Eunoe     
  Inc., and designed to drain cerebrospinal fluid from the patient's skull
into his or her abdominal cavity.

o    implantation of genetically modified cells that produce human nerve growth 
factor into the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. Preliminary
    human testing began this year at the University of California at San Diego
in conjunction with the Salk Institute for Biological Studies.        

There is also ongoing research into possible methods of preventing Alzheimer's  
disease such as taking certain cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins,       
estrogen replacement therapies, anti-oxidants such as vitamin E and ginkgo      
biloba or anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil or Motrin). The
successful development of a treatment or method of preventing Alzheimer's       
disease could significantly impact on our ability to develop or market a        
competing treatment for Alzheimer's disease.                                    

Our treatments under development for enlarged prostate (benign prostatic        
hyperplasia or BPH) face significant competition from existing products. There  
are five drugs approved for treatment of BPH: finasteride (Proscar(R)),         
terazozin (Hytrin(R)), doxazozin (Cardur(R)), tamsulosin (Flomax(R)) and        
prazosin (Minipres(R)). There are a number of thermal treatments on the market  
designed to shrink the enlarged prostate by heating its tissue with a device    
inserted through the urethra (the tube leading from the bladder through the     
penis through which men urinate) or through the abdomen. The devices on the     
market use microwave energy (Prostatron(R), Targis Therapy(R) or TherMatrx(R)), 
low level radiowaves (TUNA System(R)), lasers (Indigo LaserOptic Treatment      
System(R)), direct heat or hot water to heat or burn away prostate tissue. A    
variety of surgical procedures exist to surgically reduce or remove the prostate
or to widen the urethra. These include procedures to cut away prostate tissue   
which as TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) and using a resectoscope
with an electrical loop inserted through the penis to cut the prostate tissue. A
small device used to widen the constricted urethra called a prostatic stent can 
also be inserted.                                                               

The diagnostic testing industry is also highly competitive. In the area of      
Alzheimer's disease, Athena Diagnostics, Inc. markets diagnostic tests for      
different biochemical indicators found in blood and spinal fluid and for genetic
predispositions for the illness. Other companies are attempting to develop and  
market other diagnostic products in this area. The introduction of other        
diagnostics products for Alzheimer's disease or tobacco product use that are    
cheaper, easier to perform, more accurate or otherwise more attractive to the   
physicians, health care payers or other potential customers would have a        
significant impact on the sales of our AlzheimAlert(TM), NicAlert(TM) or        
NicoMeter(TM) products.                                                         

We May Not Be Able to Successfully Market Our Products                          

To increase our marketing, distribution and sales capabilities both in the      
United States and around the world, we will need to enter into licensing        
arrangements, contract sales agreements and co-marketing deals. We cannot assure
you that we will be able to enter into agreements with other companies on terms 
acceptable to us, that any licensing arrangement will generate any revenue for  
the company or that the costs of engaging and retaining the services of a       
contract sales organization will not exceed the revenues generated.             

Our Products and Services May Not Receive Necessary Regulatory Approvals        

Our diagnostic products, AlzheimAlert(TM), NicAlert(TM) and NicoMeter(TM), and  
our products in development, are subject to a wide range of government          
regulation governing laboratory standards, product safety and efficacy. The     
actual regulatory schemes in place vary from country to country and regulatory  
compliance can take several years and involve substantial expenditures.

We cannot be sure that we can obtain necessary regulatory approvals on a timely 
basis, if at all, for our products in development and all of the following could
have a material adverse effect on our business:                                 

o    failure to obtain or significant delays in obtaining requisite approvals;  

o    loss of or changes to previously obtained approvals; and                   

o    failure to comply with existing or future regulatory requirements.         

We currently market AlzheimAlert(TM) as a clinical reference laboratory service 
provided by our government-inspected clinical reference laboratory in New       
Jersey. Physicians send us urine samples from their patients to our laboratory  
where the AlzheimAlert(TM) test is performed and the results reported back to   
the physicians. A clinical laboratory test like AlzheimAlert(TM) does not       
require approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Our 
laboratory is regulated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)   
under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments and is subject to          
inspection and certification. In addition, individual states like New York and  
Florida have their own requirements for reference laboratories like ours that   
offer diagnostic services. In addition, the FDA has its own regulations         
governing in vitro diagnostic products, including some of the reagents used in  
clinical reference laboratories. Any changes in CMS or state law requirements or
in the FDA regulations could have a detrimental impact on our ability to offer  
or market any reference laboratory services and/or on our ability to obtain     
reimbursement from the Medicare and Medicaid programs and providers.            

We may develop a diagnostic kit based on AlzheimAlert(TM) for sale to third     
parties. If so, we will require prior approval from the FDA before we can       
market, distribute or sell such a product in the United States. We have not     
submitted any such product to the FDA for approval. In general, such approval   
requires clinical testing as to the safety and efficacy of the device and       
preparation of an approval application with extensive supporting documentation. 
If approved, the device would then be subject to postmarketing record and       
reporting obligations and manufacturing requirements. Similar requirements exist
in many other countries. Obtaining these approvals and complying with the       
subsequent regulatory requirements can be both time-consuming and expensive.    

We currently sell NicAlert(TM) and NicoMeter(TM) as tests for tobacco product   
use and for research use. In October, 2002, we received 510(k) clearance from   
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for our NicAlert(TM) product.             

In the United States, our drugs in development will require FDA approval, which 
comes only at the end of a lengthy, expensive and often arduous process. We have
not submitted any drugs for FDA approval. We have begun Phase I safety studies  
for NX-1207, our investigational new drug for benign prostatic hyperplasia      
(BPH). We cannot predict with any certainty the amount of time the FDA will take
to approve one of our drugs or even whether any such approval will be           
forthcoming. Similar requirements exist in many other countries.                

Protecting Our Patents and Proprietary Information is Costly and Difficult      

We believe that patent and trade secret protection is important to our business,
and that our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain strong      
patents, to maintain trade secret protection and to operate without infringing  
the proprietary rights of others.

Obtaining and maintaining our patent position is costly. We pay for the filing, 
prosecution and fees of over 200 patents and patent applications in countries   
around the world, including the United States, Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia,
New Zealand and South Korea. In the United States alone, Nymox has fourteen     
patents issued or allowed and thirteen patent applications pending relating to  
its technology. Its subsidiary, Serex Inc. has nine patents issued and allowed. 
Through licensing agreements with the Massachusetts General Hospital, Nymox     
separately licensed global patent rights relating to neural thread proteins and 
to novel cancer markers that have potential application both for the treatment  
and diagnosis of specific cancers. These licensed patent rights include five    
issued United States patents and numerous patents and patent application in     
other countries around the world.                                               

We believe that we have strong patent protection for the products we sell and   
for our product development programs and are in the process of extending that   
patent protection to cover more countries or new discoveries or products. We    
cannot assure you that additional patents covering new products or improvements 
will be issued or that any new or existing patents will be of commercial benefit
or be valid and enforceable if challenged.                                      

We are not currently involved in patent litigation. In the pharmaceutical and   
biotechnology industry patent disputes are frequent and can preclude the        
commercialization of products. Patent litigation is costly and the outcome often
difficult to predict. It can expose us to significant liabilities to third      
parties and may require us to obtain third-party licenses at a material cost or 
cease using the technology or product in dispute.                               

We Face Changing Market Conditions                                              

The healthcare industry is in transition with a number of changes that affect   
the market for therapeutic and diagnostic test products. The U.S. Federal and   
various state governments have under consideration a number of proposals that   
may have the effect of directly or indirectly limiting drug prices in the U.S.  
markets. Such changes may adversely affect the prices we may charge for any     
therapeutic drug we develop. Funding changes and budgetary considerations can   
lead major health care payers and providers to make changes in reimbursement    
policies for our AlzheimAlert(TM) product. These changes can seriously impact   
the potential for growth for the market for AlzheimAlert(TM), either favorably  
when the decision is to offer broad coverage for our test at a reasonable price 
or negatively when the decision is to deny coverage altogether. Changes in the  
healthcare delivery system have resulted in major consolidation among reference 
laboratories and in the formation of multi-hospital alliances, reducing the     
number of institutional customers for therapeutic and diagnostic test products. 
There can be no assurance that Nymox will be able to enter into and/or sustain  
contractual or other marketing or distribution arrangements on a satisfactory   
commercial basis with these institutional customers.                            

Health Care Plans May Not Cover or Adequately Pay for our Products and Services 

Throughout the developed world, both public and private health care plans are   
under considerable financial and political pressure to contain their costs. The 
two principal methods of restricting expenditures on drugs and diagnostic       
products and services are to deny coverage or, if coverage is granted, to limit 
reimbursement. For single-payer government health care systems, a decision to   
deny coverage or to severely restrict reimbursement for one of our products can 
have an adverse effect on our business and revenues.

In the United States, where, to a significant degree, the patient population for
our products is elderly, Medicare and Medicaid are sources of reimbursement. In 
general, any restriction on reimbursement, coverage or eligibility under either 
program could adversely affect reimbursement to Nymox for products and services 
provided to beneficiaries of the Medicare and/or Medicaid programs. Many elderly
people are covered by a variety of private health care organizations either     
operating private health care plans or Medicare or Medicaid programs subject to 
government regulation. These organizations are also under considerable financial
constraints and we may not be able to secure coverage or adequate reimbursement 
from these organizations. Without coverage, we will have to look to the patients
themselves who may be unwilling or unable to pay for the product; in turn,      
doctors may be reluctant to order or prescribe our products in the absence of   
coverage of the product for the patient.                                        

The Issuance of New Shares May Dilute Nymox's Stock                             

The issuance of further shares and the eligibility of issued shares for sale    
will dilute our common stock and may lower its share price. There were          
23,473,434 common shares of Nymox issued and outstanding as of April 30, 2003.  
All of these shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 or are otherwise freely
tradable. In addition, 1,654,000 share options are outstanding, of which        
1,489,000 are currently vested and 611,860 shares are subject to issuance upon  
exercise of warrants. The great majority of the Nymox options expire in 3 to 8  
years. These options have been granted to employees, officers, directors and    
consultants of the company. Moreover, Nymox may use its shares as currency in   
acquisitions.                                                                   

We Face Potential Losses Due to Foreign Currency Exchange Risks                 

Nymox incurs certain expenses, principally relating to salaries and operating   
expenses at its Canadian head office, in Canadian dollars. All other expenses   
are derived in U.S. dollars. As a result, we are exposed to the risk of losses  
due to fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the       
Canadian dollar. We protect ourselves against this risk by maintaining cash     
balances in both currencies. We do not currently engage in hedging activities.  
We cannot say with any assurance that the Company will not suffer losses as a   
result of unfavorable fluctuations in the exchange rates between the United     
States dollar and Canadian dollar.                                              

We Have Never Paid a Dividend and are Unlikely to do so in the Foreseeable      
Future                                                                          

Nymox has never paid any dividends and does not expect to do so in the          
foreseeable future. We expect to retain any earnings or positive cash flow in   
order to finance and develop Nymox's business.                                  

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY                                              
History of the Company                                                          

Nymox was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act in May, 1995  
to acquire all of the common shares of DMS Pharmaceutical Inc., a private       
company which had been carrying on research and development since 1989 on       
diagnostics and drugs for brain disorders and diseases of the aged with an      
emphasis on Alzheimer's disease. Nymox has two subsidiaries: one wholly owned   
subsidiary named Nymox Corporation and the other a majority owned subsidiary    
named Serex, Inc, purchased in March, 2000. Both subsidiaries are based in the  
same building in Maywood, New Jersey, but each have separate facilities within  
the building. Nymox Corporation operates our certified clinical reference       
laboratory where our AlzheimAlert(TM) test is performed, and conducts some      
research and

We specialize in the research and development of therapeutics and diagnostics   
for the aging population with an emphasis on Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's   
disease is a progressive, terminal brain disease of the elderly marked by an    
irreversible decline in mental abilities, including memory and comprehension,   
and often accompanied by changes in behavior and personality. It currently      
afflicts an estimated four million people in the United States and at least     
fifteen million people worldwide. As the baby-boomer generation continues to    
age, these figures are expected to rise sharply. Our subsidiary, Serex, Inc.,   
specializes in the development of diagnostic products for a wide range of       
indications based on its proprietary patented diagnostic platforms and          
technologies.                                                                   

Acquisition of a Majority Interest in Serex, Inc.                               

On March 2, 2000, we closed our acquisition of a controlling interest in Serex, 
Inc., a privately held diagnostic company based in Maywood, New Jersey. We have 
subsequently acquired more shares of the common stock of Serex, Inc. from other 
shareholders and now own approximately 98% of its common stock.                 

Serex's NicAlert(TM) and NicoMeter(TM) strips can reliably detect one of the    
metabolic products of nicotine in human urine or saliva (NicAlert(TM) only), in 
order to determine whether a person, such as a teenager or insurance applicant, 
is using a tobacco product. NicAlert(TM) and NicoMeter(TM) are currently being  
distributed in Japan by Mizuho Medy Co. Ltd. of Japan and outside of Japan by   
Nymox and Jant Pharmacal Corporation.                                           

Serex developed and patented its particle valence technology, a unique, highly  
sensitive, new method to detect very small amounts of biochemical indicators in 
body fluids such as blood, urine and saliva. This technology can be adapted to  
detect a wide range of biochemical indicators for diseases, conditions and drug 
use.

Diagnostic Products for Alzheimer's Disease                                     

Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia in persons 65 years of 
age and older and is the fourth leading cause of death among the elderly.       
Despite the need for an accurate clinical test, the definitive diagnosis of the 
disease is possible only after the death of the patient by expert, pathologic   
examination of brain tissue.                                                    

The Surgeon General's Report on Mental Health, released on December 13, 1999,   
identified the importance and the need for the early detection and diagnosis of 
Alzheimer's disease. The report described the current approach to Alzheimer's   
disease diagnosis, clinical examination and the exclusion of other common causes
of its symptoms, as time- and labor-intensive, costly and largely dependent on  
the expertise of the examiner. As a result, the illness is currently            
underrecognized, especially in primary care settings, where most older patients 
seek care. The report joined other experts writing in the field in recognizing  
the need for a better, more reliable method for diagnosing the disease in living
patients and in particular, the need of a simple, accurate and convenient test  
that could detect a biochemical change early in patients with Alzheimer's       
disease. We believe our AlzheimAlert(TM) provides such a test.                  

AlzheimAlert(TM); An Aid to the Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease                

We market a proprietary diagnostic test for Alzheimer's disease, known as the   
AlzheimAlert(TM) Test, through our government-inspected clinical reference      
laboratory in Maywood, New Jersey. AlzheimAlert(TM) is an improved version of   
our AD7C(TM) test, which has been on the market since 1997. It is a urine test, 
where the patient provides a first-morning urine sample for testing. The        
patient's doctor then forwards the sample to our laboratory where our technical 
staff performs the test. We then report the results to the doctor.              

AlzheimAlert(TM) is the latest generation of our NTP testing technology. It     
measures the level of a brain protein called neural thread protein (NTP) which  
is elevated early in Alzheimer's disease as reported both in the scientific     
literature and at scientific conferences. Researchers at the Massachusetts      
General Hospital and Brown University led by Doctors Suzanne de la Monte and    
Jack Wands first found large amounts of the protein in the brain tissue of      
patients known to have died with Alzheimer's disease. Subsequent research led to
the characterization of NTP and the gene that produces it. Nymox succeeded in   
developing a highly sensitive test to detect the presence of NTP in the spinal  
fluid and, most recently, in the urine of patients with Alzheimer's disease. A  
recent study (J. Neuropathol Exp Neurol (2001; 60: 195-207)) has provided       
further evidence that increased production of NTP leads to a marked increase in 
nerve cell death and shown that the cells subjected to NTP died in a programmed 
fashion similar to the way the nerve cells in the brains of patients with       
Alzheimer's disease die. One of the characteristic signs of Alzheimer's disease 
is widespread brain cell loss.                                                  

Nymox believes that its AlzheimAlert(TM) test can assist a physician faced with 
the task of diagnosing whether a patient has Alzheimer's disease. In company    
funded trials of its NTP testing technology to date, involving over 500 clinical
samples, the test results were positive for over 80% of the patients with       
verified Alzheimer disease and negative in over 89% of subjects without the     
disease (known as a low false positive rate). The low rate of positive results  
for patients without the disease is important for doctors investigating patients
with subtle or marginal symptoms of mental, emotional, cognitive, or

behavioral changes. If the doctor can rule out Alzheimer's with more assurance, 
a great deal of patient and family anguish and anxiety will be avoided. A low   
test score will help the doctor to be more certain that Alzheimer's disease is  
not the cause of the patient's symptoms and to target the other, often          
reversible causes of the patient's symptoms, such as depression.                

Many studies published in scientific publications or presented at scientific    
conferences over the past decade have confirmed the accuracy of NTP as a        
biochemical marker for Alzheimer's disease. Recent publications in the          
peer-reviewed literature include, for example, the Journal of Clinical          
Investigation (1997; 100: 3093-3104); Journal of Contemporary Neurology (1998;  
art. 4a); Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis (1998; 12: 285-288) and (1998;
12: 223-226); Alzheimer's Reports (1999; 2: 327-332), (2000; 3: 177-184) and    
(2001; 4: 61-65); Neurology (2000; 54: 1498-1504) and (2000; 55: 1068); Journal 
of Alzheimer's Disease (2001; 3: 345-353), and Neurology and Clinical           
Neurophysiology (2002; 1: 2-7). Reports about this Nymox technology have also   
been featured in prestigious trade and lay publications such as Clinica         
(Sept.25, 2000), Genetic Engineering News (Oct.1, 2000), Clinical Laboratory    
News (Sept., 1999 and Oct., 2000), Modern Maturity (Dec., 2000), ADVANCE for    
Administrators of the Laboratory (June, 2001), ASRT Scanner (August, 2001), RN  
magazine (August, 2001), Clinical Geriatrics (Nov., 2000), LabMedica            
International (June, 1998), and Clinical Laboratory International (October,     
1998).                                                                          

There can be no assurance that further studies will repeat the same level of    
success experienced to date.                                                    

The early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is important to physicians, patients 
and their families and enables them to make informed and early social, legal and
medical decisions about treatment and care. Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's      
disease has become increasingly important with new improvements in drug         
treatment and care. Even a modest delay in institutionalization can mean        
substantial social and financial savings. Conversely, any testing procedure that
could rule out Alzheimer's disease would eliminate the tremendous uncertainty   
and anxiety patients and their families otherwise face and would allow          
physicians to focus on the other, often reversible, causes of cognitive changes.

Early diagnosis as facilitated by the AlzheimAlert(TM) test represents a        
potentially large cost-savings in the form of a reduced number of office visits,
lab tests, scans and other procedures required by the traditional methods of    
diagnosis.                                                                      

The AlzheimAlert(TM) test is an aid to diagnosis, to be considered together with
patient history, physical examination and other relevant medical data. The test 
does not replace a physician's diagnosis.                                       

We intend to develop and sell a diagnostic kit version of the AlzheimAlert(TM)  
test. Such a kit would permit the testing of patient samples either in a general
purpose medical laboratory or in a physician's office. The development of such a
kit will be subject to further laboratory and clinical validation and to any    
necessary regulatory approvals. AlzheimAlert(TM) offers a more technically      
advanced means to detect elevated levels of NTP in urine. It is a completely new
assay in the competitive affinity format and has significant advantages of easy 
adaptability to systems and equipment present in all modern clinical            
laboratories.                                                                   

We expect that, if approved, a diagnostic kit version of AlzheimAlert(TM) kit   
will increase the availability and acceptance of our test while lowering its    
cost to the patient or health care payor.

Other Biochemical Indicators of Alzheimer's Disease                             

We hold exclusive patent rights to several other biochemical indicators for     
Alzheimer's disease, including the brain protein, 35i9, which we believe is also
associated with Alzheimer's disease. We intend to use our extensive scientific, 
medical and commercial experience and know-how in the field of Alzheimer's      
disease in order to develop new diagnostic tests, methods and treatments for the
disease from these and other indicators.                                        

Development of Therapeutic Products for Alzheimer's Disease                     

At present, there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease. There are four drugs      
approved by the FDA, tacrine (brand-name Cognex(R)), donepezil HCI (brand-name  
Aricept(R)), rivastigmine (brand-name Exelon(R)) and galantamine hydrobromide   
(brand name Reminyl(R)) for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. However, at   
most these drugs offer symptomatic relief for the loss of mental function       
associated with the disease and possibly help to delay the illness- progression.
There is no consensus as to the cause of Alzheimer's disease or even whether it 
is one disease or many.                                                         

There is an urgent need for an effective treatment for the illness, caused in   
part by the rising health care, institutional and social costs for the treatment
and care of Alzheimer's disease sufferers. The Surgeon General's Report on      
Mental Health released on December 13, 1999, put the direct health care costs   
for the illness in the United States at almost $18 billion for 1996. In April   
2002, the National Institute on Aging reported that the cost of care to family, 
caregivers and society in general was estimated to exceed $100 billion per year.

These costs are expected to rise sharply as the baby boom generation ages and   
more people become at risk for the disease. According to the National Institute 
on Aging's Progress Report on Alzheimer's Disease, 2000, the number of Americans
aged 65 or over, now some 35 million, is expected to double by year 2050. The   
age group of Americans over the age of 85 is one of the fastest growing segments
of the population. As people live longer, they become more at risk of developing
Alzheimer's disease.                                                            

Nymox's research into drug treatments for Alzheimer's disease is aimed at       
compounds that could arrest the progression of the disease and therefore are    
targeted for long term use.                                                     

Drugs Targeting Spherons                                                        

We are a leader in research and development into drugs for the treatment of     
Alzheimer's disease that target spherons. Nymox researchers believe that        
spherons are a cause of senile plaques, the characteristic lesion found         
abundantly in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease and believed by   
many researchers to play a pivotal role in the fatal illness. Spherons are tiny 
balls of densely packed protein found in brain cells scattered throughout the   
brains of all humans from age one. Nymox researchers have found that as humans  
age the spherons grow up to a hundred times larger until they become too large  
for the cells that hold them. Once released from the cells, the researchers     
believe that the spherons burst, creating senile plaques, contributing to the   
cellular damage and biochemical changes pivotal to the symptoms and signs of    
Alzheimer's disease.                                                            

The substantial evidence linking spherons to senile plaques and Alzheimer's     
disease has been published in journals such as the Journal of Alzheimer's       
Disease, Drug News & Perspectives and Alzheimer Reports. There are 20 important 
criteria of validity which have been set forth correlating the

disappearance of spherons in old age with the appearance of senile plaques and  
implicating spherons as a major causal in Alzheimer's disease. In 2000, Nymox   
researchers published important findings in Alzheimer Reports (2000; 3: 177-184)
confirming that spherons contain key proteins that are also known to be in      
senile plaques and showing that, like senile plaques, spherons contain unusually
old proteins in terms of the human body's metabolism, with an average age of 20 
to 40 years.                                                                    

Nymox researchers believe that stopping or inhibiting the transformation of     
spherons into senile plaques will help stop or slow the progress of this        
illness. You should be aware that there is no consensus among researchers about 
the causes or possible treatments of Alzheimer's disease and that not all       
researchers share this belief that spherons are a causative factor in           
Alzheimer's disease or are a target for the development of treatments for the   
disease.                                                                        

Based on these research findings and this approach to the treatment of the      
disease, we developed novel, proprietary drug screening methods based on        
spherons and used them to discover, develop and test drug candidates to inhibit 
the formation of Alzheimer plaques from spherons. These candidates have the     
potential to slow or stop the progression of the disease.                       

We have two distinct new drug candidates, NXD-3109 and NXD-1191, neither of     
which demonstrate significant toxicity and both of which had positive animal    
testing results. These candidates are at the stage of pre-clinical testing.     

Such drug candidates will require regulatory approval in order to begin clinical
studies for humans. You should be aware there is no guarantee that any of these 
drug candidates will ever be approved for marketing as a treatment for          
Alzheimer's disease. Drug candidates that look promising in early studies in the
laboratory or with animals often prove on further testing to be unsafe,         
ineffective or impractical to use with human patients. The cost of bringing a   
drug candidate through the necessary clinical trial and regulatory approvals is 
very high and may require us to seek substantial financing through various      
sources including the issuing of more stock, the borrowing of funds secured by  
financial instruments such as bonds or agreements with major pharmaceutical     
companies. We risk not being able to secure such funding in the necessary       
amounts or on sufficiently favorable terms.                                     

Nymox holds global patent rights covering both methods for using spherons as    
targets for developing drugs and for the actual drug candidates discovered.     

Neural Thread protein Based Drugs                                               

Nymox developed a unique drug screening system, based on the research that led  
to its AlzheimAlert(TM) test, to identify other potential drug candidates for   
the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. There is a substantial body of evidence   
showing that NTP may play a key role in Alzheimer's disease. The published      
studies include Journal of the Neurological Sciences (1996; 138: 26-35), Journal
of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology (1996; 55: 1038-50), Journal of    
Clinical Investigation (1997; 100: 3093-3104), Alzheimer's Reports (1999; 2:    
327-332), Journal of Alzheimer's Disease (2001; 3: 345-353) and Cellular and    
Molecular Life Sciences (2001; 58: 844-849). A recent study published in the    
Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology (2001; 60: 195-207)        
reported on how a team of researchers at Brown University led by Dr. Suzanne de 
la Monte and Dr. Jack Wands implanted the gene that produces NTP in nerve cells 
derived from humans. They then caused the cells to turn on the implanted NTP    
gene and to begin to produce NTP in elevated quantities. This caused a marked   
increase in nerve cell death. Sophisticated analysis showed that the cells died 
in

a programmed fashion similar to the way the nerve cells in brains of patients   
with Alzheimer's disease die. Extensive loss of brain cells and accompanying    
brain shrinkage is a key part of the Alzheimer's disease process.               

Nymox screened compounds for their ability to impede this process of premature  
cell death and thus potentially help slow or halt the loss of brain cells in the
Alzheimer's disease brain. This screening process identified promising drug     
candidates. The Company has targeted the candidate, NXD-9062, for human trials. 
Successful completion of pre-clinical studies is necessary before any candidate 
can move into formal regulatory studies.                                        

Nymox licensed this technology in 1997 from Harvard University and the          
Massachusetts General Hospital as part of a sponsored research and licensing    
agreement. Under the terms of this agreement, Nymox sponsored the research of   
the principal investigators, Dr. Suzanne de la Monte and Dr. Jack Wands, into   
the use of neural thread protein, its antibodies or genes for diagnostic or     
therapeutic purposes. Nymox also paid the patent costs for the patent           
applications filed arising out of this research. In return, Nymox received an   
exclusive worldwide license of the patents to sell products and to use processes
encompassed by them. Nymox is to pay the Massachusetts General Hospital a 4%    
royalty of the net sales price of any product developed and sold under the      
license. Nymox currently pays this royalty on its sales of AlzheimAlert(TM). The
license and the obligation to pay patent costs and royalties continues for the  
life of the patents, which run until November, 2014 at the earliest. The        
Massachusetts General Hospital has the right to terminate the license in any    
country where, after the first commercial sale of the product in the country,   
there is a continuous two year period in which no product is sold in such       
country. There are four issued U.S. patents and one outstanding U.S. patent     
application under license and a correspondingly larger number of patents and    
patent applications in Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South  
Korea. The sponsored research portion of this agreement was transferred to Brown
University and the Rhode Island Hospital as of March, 1999, when Dr. de la Monte
and Dr. Wands moved to Brown University.                                        

Nymox also has a similar sponsored research and licensing agreement with Brown  
University and the Rhode Island Hospital where Dr. de la Monte and Dr. Wands now
carry out their research into neural thread protein. Under the terms of this    
agreement, which became effective March 1, 1999 and was renewed in January 2002,
Nymox sponsors the research of the principal investigators, Dr. Suzanne de la   
Monte and Dr. Jack Wands, into the uses of neural thread proteins, their        
antibodies or genes for diagnostic, therapeutic and research purposes. Nymox    
also pays the patent costs for any patent applications filed arising out of this
research. In return, Nymox will receive an exclusive worldwide license of the   
patents to sell products and to use processes encompassed by them. The Rhode    
Island Hospital has the right to terminate the license in any country where,    
after the first commercial sale of the product in the country, there is a       
continuous two year period in which no product is sold in such country. Nymox is
to pay the Rhode Island Hospital a 4% royalty of the net sales price of any     
product developed and sold under the license.                                   

The Use of Statin Drugs for the Treatment or Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease  

In October 2002, we were issued a United States patent for the use of statin    
drugs to treat, prevent or reduce the risk of the onset of Alzheimer's disease. 
Statins are a class of commonly prescribed cholesterol lowering drugs that have 
a well-established safety record and are widely available. A number of published
studies showed a link between statin use and lower incidence of Alzheimer's

disease. Research in this area is ongoing and no statin drug has been approved  
for use in the treatment or prevention of Alzheimer's disease.                  

New Antibacterial Agents Against Infections and Food Contamination              

We are developing new antibacterial agents for the treatment of urinary tract   
and other bacterial infections in humans which have proved highly resistant to  
conventional antibiotic treatments and for the treatment of E. coli O157:H7     
bacterial contamination in hamburger meat and other food and drink products.    

Nymox has developed four new antibacterial agents:                              

o    NXB-4221 for the treatment of difficult chronic and persistent urinary     
tract infections;                                                     

o    NXB-5886 for the treatment of streptococcal infection; and                 

o    NXT-1021 for the treatment of staphylococcal infection; and                

o    NXC-4720 for the treatment of E. coli contamination of meat and other food 
and drink products                                                    

In the last ten years there has been a growing recognition of the increasing    
problem of antibiotic-resistant infections and the need for truly novel         
antibacterial drugs. See, for example, the European Commission report dated May 
28, 1999, "Opinion of the Scientific Steering Committee on Antimicrobial        
Resistance" and the report from the Interagency Task Force on Antimicrobial     
Resistance, co-chaired by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the   
U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health,        
entitled A Public Health Action Plan to Combat Antimicrobial Resistance released
on January 19, 2001.                                                            

Urinary tract infections in women caused by bacteria such as E. coli are a      
common and significant infection often resistant to conventional antibiotic     
treatment. Some varieties of streptococcus and staphylococcus bacteria, a common
source of infection in humans, have acquired a broad immunity to antibiotic     
treatments. Infections from these antibiotic resistant bacteria are difficult to
treat and can be life threatening.                                              

Nymox's three antibacterial agents for the treatment of infectious disease have 
all shown the ability to kill their bacterial targets in culture with no signs  
of toxicity. Further pre-clinical testing and development is required before we 
can apply for regulatory approval to begin initial testing in humans.           

E. coli contamination of food and drink is a serious public health problem      
worldwide and a major concern for meat processors in particular. E. coli        
bacteria occur normally and usually harmlessly in the gastrointestinal tracts of
humans, cows and other animals. However, one mutant variety of the E. coli      
bacteria, E. coli O157:H7, can cause life-threatening illness and has been      
implicated in cases of severe diarrhea, intestinal bleeding and kidney failure, 
leading, in some cases, to death in children and the elderly. E. coli           
contamination in hamburger meat and other food products and in drinking water   
affects about 70,000 people in the United States a year.                        

There is a well-recognized need in the beef industry to address the problem of  
E. coli contamination in meat processing and in livestock. E. coli contamination
has triggered massive recalls of ground beef in

the U.S.. Cattle are a natural reservoir for the deadly strain of E. coli. Water
contamination from cattle operations have led to public health tragedies.       

Nymox developed a potent new antibacterial agent, NXC-4720. Tests of NXC-4720   
show it to be highly effective against all known substrains of E. coli O157:H7, 
the bacteria implicated in these severe cases of food and drink contamination.  
Tests of NXC-4720 show that it destroys E. coli O157 strains, including H7,     
efficiently, rapidly and at a very low dose. In 1999, we began further          
laboratory trials for this agent as a treatment for food and drink contamination
and are continuing trials with various collaborators, including the Faculty of  
Veterinary Medicine at the University of Montreal, the Department of Food       
Science at the University of Manitoba and BioPhage Inc.. Further pre-clinical   
testing and development is required before we can apply for regulatory approval 
for use of this agent on the processing of food and drink for human consumption.

Nymox has patent rights to these and other antibacterial agents.                

Development of Therapeutic Products for Enlarged Prostate                       

We are developing treatments for enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia
or BPH), using novel compounds. We have begun Phase 1 safety studies in humans  
for one treatment candidate, NX-1207.                                           

More than half of men in their sixties and as many as 90% of men in their       
seventies and eighties have some symptoms of BPH. Symptoms include more frequent
urination (especially at night), difficulty urinating, incomplete emptying of   
the bladder and sometimes complete inability to urinate. More serious cases may 
require surgical intervention to reduce the size of the prostate. There is a    
need for a simple, effective treatment for BPH, particularly in cases where     
existing drug treatments have proven to be ineffective and where more intrusive 
procedures such as surgery which may be inadvisable or bring unacceptable risks.

The NicAlert(TM) Test for Tobacco Product Use                                   

We also market NicAlert(TM) and NicoMeter(TM) inexpensive, simple-to-use test   
strips that use urine or saliva (NicAlert(TM) only) to determine whether a      
person is using tobacco products. Both NicAlert(TM) and NicoMeter(TM) detect    
levels of cotinine, a byproduct of the body's breakdown of nicotine and         
generally regarded as the best indicator of tobacco exposure for smokers and    
nonsmokers.                                                                     

Smoking and other tobacco product use is a serious public health problem.       
Smoking kills. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,     
cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 430,000 deaths per year in the   
United States alone. Smoking can cause cancer of the lung, mouth, bladder,      
larynx and esophagus among others, heart disease and stroke and chronic lung    
disease. Every year, exposure to second-hand smoke (environmental tobacco smoke 
or ETS) causes an estimated 3,000 nonsmoking Americans to die of lung cancer and
up to 300,000 American infants and small children to suffer from lower          
respiratory tract infections.                                                   

NicAlert(TM) and NicoMeter(TM) employ Serex, Inc.'s patented technology.        
NicAlert(TM) and NicoMeter(TM) are currently being used in research programs    
into tobacco use and exposure and are being marketed in the United States, Japan
and Switzerland as a test to determine whether a person, such as a teenager,

student athlete or insurance applicant, is using a tobacco product. In October  
2002, NicAlert(TM) received clearance from the FDA.                             

Property, Plant And Equipment                                                   

Nymox and Serex laboratory facilities in Maywood, New Jersey comprise 4,687     
square feet of leased space. That lease agreement expires February 28, 2005.    
Nymox office and research facilities in St. Laurent, Quebec, Canada comprise    
6,923 square feet of leased space. The lease agreement expires on August 31,    
2005. Nymox Pharmaceutical Corp. and its two US subsidiaries Nymox Corp. and    
Serex, Inc. own a full complement of equipment used in all aspects of their     
research and development work and the Nymox reference laboratory. Nymox believes
that its facilities are adequate for its current needs and that additional      
space, if required, would be available on commercially reasonable terms.        

Governmental Regulation                                                         

Our AlzheimAlert(TM) test which we provide as a service through our clinical    
reference laboratory in Maywood, New Jersey is subject to extensive government  
regulation in the United States. Our clinical reference laboratory and its      
performance of the AlzheimAlert(TM) must be certified by the Centers for        
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement    
Amendments (CLIA), which establishes quality standards for the laboratory tests 
being performed to ensure the accuracy, reliability and timeliness of patient   
test results. In addition, some individual states such as New York, Florida and 
New Jersey have their own requirements for the inspection and certification of  
reference laboratories which offer diagnostic services for patients within the  
state. Finally, the FDA has its own regulations governing in vitro diagnostic   
products, including analyte-specific reagents used in clinical reference        
laboratories. Any changes in our current certification status, CMS or state law 
requirements or in the FDA regulations could have an impact on our future       
ability to offer or market any reference laboratory services and/or on our      
ability to obtain reimbursement from the Medicare and Medicaid programs and     
providers.                                                                      

We intend to develop and sell a diagnostic kit version of the AlzheimAlert(TM)  
test. We will need to successfully complete clinical and laboratory validation  
studies and obtain FDA approval before we can market or sell such a diagnostic  
kit version outside of the clinical reference laboratory setting in the United  
States. Such approval for this type of commercial development is necessary for  
all in vitro diagnostic kits.                                                   

The regulatory process leading to such approval can be time-consuming and       
expensive and can result in an outright denial or a very limited approval only. 
Our product will be subject to subject to premarketing and postmarketing        
requirements applicable to such devices, including those governing:             

o    clinical testing;                                                          

o    design control procedures;                                                 

o    prior FDA approval of a 510(k) application, where the FDA has determined   
    that our diagnostic device is substantial equivalent to a marketed device,
    or a premarket approval application, where the FDA has been satisfied with
clinical studies demonstrating the safety and efficacy of our device; 

o    postmarketing record and reporting obligations; and

o    good manufacturing practices.                                              

The requirements for a premarket approval application are analogous to those for
the approval of a new drug and include four categories of information:          
indications for use, device description and manufacturing methods, alternative  
practices and procedures for the diagnosis of the disease and clinical and      
nonclinical studies. The requirements for a 510(k) application are generally    
less onerous but still include indications for use, safety and effectiveness    
data as well as manufacturing and quality assurance data and information. There 
can be no assurance that the AlzheimAlert(TM) test or any other medical device  
that we may develop in the future will obtain the necessary approvals within a  
specified time framework, if ever. In addition, the FDA may impose certain      
postmarketing requirements that may significantly increase the regulatory costs 
associated with our product. The FDA has recourse to a wide range of            
administrative sanctions and civil and criminal penalties in order to enforce   
the applicable laws, rules and regulations.                                     

Our therapeutic products under development by Nymox would also have to receive  
regulatory approval. This is a costly, lengthy and risky process. In the United 
States, in order for a product to be marketed, it must go through four distinct 
development and evaluation stages:                                              

Product Evaluation                                                    
We must conduct preliminary studies of potential drug candidates using various  
screening methods to evaluate them for further testing, development and         
marketing.                                                                      

Optimization of Product Formulation                                   
The activities in this stage of development involve consultations between us and
investigators and scientific personnel. Preliminary selection of screening      
candidates to become product candidates for further development and further     
evaluation of drug efficacy is based on a panel of research based biochemical   
measurements. Extensive formulation work and in vitro testing are conducted for 
each of various selected screening candidates and/or product candidates.        

Clinical Screening and Evaluation                                     
During this phase of development, portions of which may overlap with product    
evaluation and optimization of product formulation, initial clinical screening  
of product candidates is undertaken and full scale clinical trials commence. The
FDA must approve any clinical testing on healthy subjects (Phase 1) and on      
patients (Phase 2 and 3).                                                       

Final Product Development                                             
The activities to be undertaken in final product development include performing 
final clinical evaluations, conducting large-scale experiments to confirm the   
reproducibility of clinical responses, making clinical lots for any additional  
extensive clinical testing that may be required, performing any further safety  
studies required by the FDA, carrying out process development work to allow     
pilot scale production of the product, completing production demonstration runs 
for each potential product, filing new drug applications, product license       
applications, investigational device exemptions (and any necessary supplements  
or amendments) and undergoing comprehensive regulatory approval programs and    
processes.                                                                      

We cannot assure you that we will successfully complete the development and     
commercialization of any therapeutic products.

In the United States, obtaining the necessary FDA approval for any drug is a    
lengthy, expensive and often arduous process. We cannot predict with any        
certainty the amount of time the FDA will take to approve one of our drugs or   
even whether any such approval will be forthcoming. Similar requirements exist  
in many other countries.                                                        

In the United States, the FDA approval procedure is a two-step process. We must 
file an investigational new drug application for each product with the FDA      
before beginning the initial (Phase I) clinical testing of the new drug in      
healthy subjects. If the FDA has not commented on or questioned the application 
within 30 days of its filing, initial clinical studies may begin. If, however,  
the FDA has comments or questions, the questions must be answered to the        
satisfaction of the FDA before initial clinical testing can begin. In some      
instances, this process could result in substantial delay and expense. Phase I  
studies are intended to demonstrate the functional characteristics and safety of
a product.                                                                      

After Phase I testing, we must conduct extensive clinical trials with patients  
in order to establish the efficacy and safety of our drug. Once we complete the 
required clinical testing, we expect to have to file a new drug application for 
FDA approval in order to market most, if not all, of our new drugs. The         
application is complicated and detailed and must include the results of         
extensive clinical and other testing, the cost of which is substantial. The FDA 
conducts an extensive and often lengthy review of such applications. The agency 
is required to review applications within 180 days of their filing, but, during 
the review, frequently requests that additional information be submitted. This  
starts the 180-day regulatory review period anew when the requested additional  
information is submitted and, as a result, can significantly extend the review  
period. Until the FDA actually approves the new drug application, there can be  
no assurance that the agency will consider the information requested and        
submitted to justify approval. The packaging and labeling of products are also  
subject to FDA regulation. Accordingly, it is impossible to anticipate when the 
FDA will approve a new drug application.                                        

We must also obtain approval for our drugs or diagnostic devices from the       
comparable regulatory authority in other countries before we can begin marketing
our product in that country. The approval procedure varies from country to      
country and can involve additional testing. The time required may differ from   
that required for FDA approval. Although there are some procedures for unified  
filings for certain European countries, in general each country has its own     
procedures and requirements, many of which are time-consuming and expensive.    
Thus, there can be substantial delays in obtaining required approvals from both 
the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities after the relevant applications are  
filed.                                                                          

After such approvals are obtained, further delays may be encountered before the 
products become commercially available. If, subsequent to approval, new         
information becomes available concerning the safety or effectiveness of any     
approved product, the regulatory authority may require the labeling for the     
affected product to be revised or the product to be withdrawn. Our manufacturing
of any approved drug must conform with the FDA's good manufacturing practice    
regulations which govern the production of pharmaceutical products and be       
subject to inspections and compliance orders.                                   

Government regulation also affects our ability to receive an appropriate level  
of reimbursement for our products. Throughout the developed world, both public  
and private health care plans are under considerable financial and political    
pressure to contain their costs. The two principal methods of restricting       
expenditures on drugs and diagnostic products and services are to deny coverage 
or, if coverage is granted, to limit reimbursement. For single-payer government 
health care systems, a

decision to deny coverage or to severely restrict reimbursement for one of our  
products can have an adverse effect on our business and revenues.               

In the United States, where, to a significant degree, the patient population for
our products is elderly, Medicare and Medicaid are sources of reimbursement. In 
general, any restriction on reimbursement, coverage or eligibility under either 
program could adversely affect reimbursement to Nymox for products and services 
provided to beneficiaries of the Medicare and/or Medicaid programs. Many elderly
people are covered by a variety of private health care organizations either     
operating private health care plans or Medicare or Medicaid programs subject to 
government regulation. These organizations are also under considerable financial
constraints and we may not be able to secure coverage or adequate reimbursement 
from these organizations. Without coverage, we will have to look to the patients
themselves who may be unwilling or unable to pay for the product; in turn,      
doctors may be reluctant to order or prescribe our products in the absence of   
coverage of the product for the patient.                                        

In response to rising health care costs, the U.S. Congress implemented sweeping 
changes to the U.S. Medicare and Medicaid systems in the Balanced Budget Act of 
1997 and is currently considering a number of other proposals that could        
significantly impact on the level of funding for Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Under the new Part C: Medicare + Choice programs, beneficiaries can now opt for 
a variety of health delivery models, including coordinated care plans, HMOs,    
preferred provider organizations and provider sponsored organizations, private  
fee-for-service plans and medical savings account plans. In addition, states now
have the option to require Medicaid recipients to enroll with managed health    
care plans without first obtaining a waiver, making it substantially easier for 
the states to meet their Medicaid obligations through private managed care      
organizations. All these health care delivery systems, including the original   
Medicare and Medicaid systems, are subject to funding formulas and spending caps
and may compensate for these restrictions by limiting coverage, eligibility     
and/or payments. The long-term impact of these legislative changes in terms of  
their efficiency, effectiveness and financial viability in delivering health    
care services to an aging population is uncertain at present. Any legislative or
regulatory actions to reduce or contain federal spending under either the       
Medicare or Medicaid programs could adversely affect our ability to participate 
in either program as a provider or supplier of services or products and the     
amount of reimbursement under these programs potentially available to us.       

Our AlzheimAlert(TM) test, and any of the new diagnostic and therapeutic        
products and services that we may develop, will be subject to coverage          
determinations by health care providers and payers. Federal and state           
regulations and law and internal coverage policies of health care organizations 
affect our ability to obtain payments for our products and services. The        
Medicare program will not pay for any expenses incurred for items or services   
that are not reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of illness 
or injury or to improve the functioning of a malformed body member.             
Historically, CMS interpreted this provision in order to exclude from Medicare  
coverage those medical and health care services that are not demonstrated to be 
safe and effective by acceptable clinical evidence. CMS recently revised both   
its national coverage policies and procedures in general and specifically its   
coverage of diagnostic laboratory tests and constituted a Medicare Coverage     
Advisory Committee to provide advice on the effectiveness and appropriateness of
medical items and services that are eligible for coverage under Medicare. It is 
unknown how these changes will affect our ability to obtain Medicare coverage   
for its products and services. However, an adverse national coverage decision   
with respect to one of our products or services will make it impossible to      
receive reimbursement from Medicare for that product and more difficult to      
convince private health care organizations to provide coverage for it. Even if  
we receive a favorable coverage decision for one of our products or services,

there is no guarantee that the level of reimbursement for it will be close to   
our retail price for it or commensurate with the costs of developing and        
marketing it.                                                                   

Patents And Proprietary Information                                             

We believe that patent and trade secret protection is important to our business,
and that our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain strong      
patents, to maintain trade secret protection and to operate without infringing  
the proprietary rights of others.                                               

The commercial success of products incorporating our technologies may depend, in
part, upon our ability to obtain strong patent protection. We cannot assure you 
that additional patents covering new products or improvements will be issued or 
that any new or existing patents will be of commercial benefit or be valid and  
enforceable if challenged.                                                      

We pursue a policy of seeking patent protection for valuable patentable subject 
matter of our proprietary technology and require all employees, consultants and 
other persons who may have access to its proprietary technology to sign         
confidentiality agreements.                                                     

Nymox has fourteen U.S. patents issued or allowed and thirteen U.S. patent      
applications pending and a corresponding larger number of patents and patent    
applications worldwide relating to the inventions and discoveries in those      
patents and patent applications. Nymox has issued patents in the main European  
markets, including Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, The Netherlands,      
Sweden and Spain among others and in other countries such as Japan, Canada and  
Australia. These patents and patent applications cover much of our current      
product development and technologies, including new drug candidates, proprietary
screening technologies for finding drugs, promising diagnostic markers, new     
diagnostic assay methods, methods of treating meat and other food products; and 
anti-infective agents. The earliest expiry date for its patents is in March,    
2007; the next is in February, 2009 and the rest range from 2010 through 2017.  

Nymox's subsidiary, Serex, has nine patents issued or allowed and five patent   
applications pending in the United States and a corresponding larger number of  
patents and patent applications worldwide. These patents and patent applications
cover such areas as Serex's proprietary diagnostic technologies and             
methodologies. The expiry dates for its patents range from 2012 to 2017.        

Nymox also has exclusive rights to five issued or allowed U.S. patents and five 
pending U.S. patent applications as well as a corresponding larger number of    
patents and patent applications worldwide through research and license          
agreements. The earliest of these patents expires in 2014.                      

Many companies have patents covering various drugs, methods and discoveries in  
the fields of diagnostics and therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease and related  
conditions and of new anti-infective agents. We believe that the patents issued 
to date will not preclude Nymox from developing and marketing our products;     
however, it is impossible to predict the extent to which licenses from third    
parties will be necessary. If Nymox were to need licenses from third parties    
there can be no assurance that we could obtain such licenses on commercially    
reasonable terms, if at all.                                                    

In the fields of diagnostic methods and diagnostic tests for common human       
diseases and conditions, where Serex has many of its patents, there are many    
patents issued covering many areas of diagnostic methods, tests and             
technologies. We believe that these patents issued to date to other companies   
will

not preclude Serex from developing and marketing its products but you should be 
aware that it is often difficult to determine the nature, breadth and validity  
of competing patent claims in these fields, that there has been significant     
litigation in some of these areas (not involving Serex) and that, if and when   
Serex's products become more commercially successful, Serex's products or       
patents may become the subject matter of litigation. If Serex were to need      
licenses from third parties there can be no assurance that it could obtain such 
license on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.                            

Neither Nymox nor Serex are currently involved in litigation over patent and    
other intellectual property rights but significant litigation over these matters
in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry is not uncommon. The validity  
and extent of patent rights can be very difficult to determine and involve      
complex legal, factual and scientific questions. Important legal issues about   
patent protection in the field of biotechnology have not been resolved. Patent  
litigation is costly and time-consuming and can consume substantial resources.  
An adverse decision can preclude the marketing of a product, expose us to       
significant liabilities or require us to obtain third party licenses, which may 
not be available at commercially reasonable prices.                             

We also rely upon trade secrets, know-how, and continuing technological         
advancement to develop and maintain our competitive position. We control the    
disclosure and use of our know-how and confidential information through         
agreements with the parties involved. In addition, we have confidentiality      
agreements with our key employees, consultants, officers and directors. There   
can be no assurance, however, that all confidentiality agreements will be       
honored, that others will not independently develop equivalent technology, that 
disputes will not arise as to the ownership of intellectual property, or that   
disclosure of our trade secrets will not occur. Furthermore, there can be no    
assurance that others have not obtained or will not obtain patent protection    
that will exclude us from using our trade secrets and confidential information. 
To the extent that consultants or research collaborators use intellectual       
property owned by others in their work with us, disputes may also arise as to   
the rights to related or resulting know-how or inventions.                      

Competition                                                                     

Rapidly evolving technology and intense competition are the hallmarks of modern 
pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Our competitors include:           

o    major pharmaceutical, diagnostic, chemical and biotechnology companies,    
many of which have financial, technical and marketing resources       
significantly greater than ours;                                      

o    biotechnology companies, either alone or in collaborations with large,     
   established pharmaceutical companies to support research, development and
commercialization of products that may be competitive with ours; and  

o    academic institutions, government agencies and other public and private    
research organizations which are conducting research into Alzheimer's 
     disease and which increasingly are patenting, licensing and commercializing
their products either on their own or through joint ventures.

In the field of Alzheimer's disease diagnosis, our AlzheimAlert(TM) test faces  
growing competition which could detrimentally impact on our ability to          
successfully market and sell our diagnostic test. Our competitors include:      

o    Athena Diagnostics, Inc. which is currently marketing three tests claimed  
     to aid in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease: a genetic test for the rare
  cases of familial, early-onset Alzheimer's disease; a genetic test for a
   relatively common mutation of a gene said to increase the likelihood of a
   person with at least one of the genes contracting the disease; and a test
for two proteins in the spinal fluid of patients.                     

o    Mitokor, Inc. which developed a blood test known as Mito-Load that looks   
for certain mutations in mitochondrial DNA said to be associated with 
Alzheimer's disease. Mitokor recently entered into a non-exclusive    
licensing agreement in Japan for the marketing and sale of its product
there.                                                                

o    Synapse Technologies, Inc. which developed a blood test known as p97       
Diagnostic that detects a protein said to be diagnostic of Alzheimer's
disease. Synapse Technologies also licensed its technology for use in 
Japan.                                                                

o    NeuroLogic, Inc., which announced in September, 1999 that it acquired an   
  exclusive world-wide license to a cellular test for Alzheimer's disease.

There are also a number of other proposed biochemical signs of the disease that 
could potentially be developed into a commercial diagnostic test as well as     
various scanning and imaging technologies which might compete some day for a    
portion of the diagnostic market for Alzheimer's disease.                       

We also face intense competition for the development of an effective treatment  
for Alzheimer's disease. The market conditions for an Alzheimer's disease drug  
strongly favor the entry of other corporations into the area. The current market
for therapeutic drugs for Alzheimer's disease is an estimated $2 billion. This  
market is expected to grow rapidly as new drugs enter the market and as the baby
boom generation becomes more at risk for developing Alzheimer's disease. As a   
result, most of the major pharmaceutical companies and many biotechnology       
companies have ongoing research and development programs for drugs and          
treatments for Alzheimer's disease. Many of these companies have much greater   
scientific, financial and marketing resources than we have and may succeed in   
developing and introducing effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease before  
we can. At present, three drugs for Alzheimer's disease are being widely        
marketed in the United States, Aricept(R) by Pfizer, Exelon(R) by Novartis and  
Reminyl(R) by Janssen. These three drugs only treat some of the symptoms of     
Alzheimer's disease by enhancing memory and other mental functions and not the  
underlying causes of the illness.                                               

A similar competitive reality prevails in the field of novel anti-infectives.   
Over the past ten years, there has been an increasing awareness of the medical  
need and of emerging market opportunities for new treatments for antibiotic     
resistant bacterial infections. Many of the major pharmaceutical companies are  
developing anti-infective drugs that either modify their existing drugs or      
involve new anti-bacterial properties. Many biotechnology companies are         
developing new classes of anti-bacterial drugs. At least three major            
pharmaceutical companies have vaccines against bacterial infections in          
development. To the extent that these companies are able to develop drugs or    
vaccines that offer treatment for some or all of the indications for our        
anti-infectives, the market for our products may be adversely affected.

Our treatments under development for enlarged prostate (benign prostatic        
hyperplasia or BPH) face significant competition from existing products. There  
are five drugs approved for treatment of BPH: finasteride (Proscar(R)),         
terazozin (Hytrin(R)), doxazozin (Cardura(R)), tamsulosin (Flomax(R)) and       
prazosin (Minipres(R)). There are a number of thermal treatments on the market  
designed to shrink the enlarged prostate by heating its tissue with a device    
inserted through the urethra (the tube leading from the bladder through the     
penis through which men urinate) or through the abdomen. The devices on the     
market use microwave energy (Prostatron(R), Targis Therapy(R) or TherMatrx(R)), 
low level radiowaves (TUNA System(R)), lasers (Indigo LaserOptic Treatment      
System(R)), direct heat or hot water to heat or burn away prostate tissue. A    
variety of surgical procedures exist to surgically reduce or remove the prostate
or to widen the urethra. These include procedures to cut away prostate tissue   
such as TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) and using a resectoscope 
with an electrical loop inserted through the penis to cut the prostate tissue. A
small device used to widen the constricted urethra called a prostatic stent can 
also be inserted.                                                               

The problem of E. coli O157:H7 contamination of hamburger meat and other food   
products is also well-known and a number of companies and researchers have been 
pursuing various potential solutions, including irradiation with x-rays, better 
detection of contamination, electronic pasteurization, vaccination and          
competitive exclusion of the pathogenic E. coli bacteria by harmless bacteria.  
The development of alternative solutions to the problem of E. coli infection may
adversely affect the market for our treatment for E. coli O157:H7 infection in  
cattle and contamination of food products.                                      

Marketing                                                                       

We currently market our AlzheimAlert(TM) test as a clinical reference laboratory
service primarily in the United States. We are also marketing NicAlert(TM) and  
NicoMeter(TM) tests, which can determine a person's exposure to tobacco         
products, in the United States through our own marketing arm and distributors,  
in Japan with Mizuho Medy Co. Ltd. of Japan and in Switzerland with Health4u AG.
We have not started to commercially market or distribute any of our other       
products under development and most of them will require regulatory approval in 
each country before being marketed there.                                       

At present, we have a network of over 60 independent medical representatives and
do most of our marketing ourselves. To increase our marketing, distribution and 
sales capabilities both in the United States and around the world, we will need 
to enter into licensing arrangements, contract sales agreements and co-marketing
deals. We cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into agreements with  
other companies on terms acceptable to us, that any licensing arrangement will  
generate any revenue for the company or that the costs of engaging and retaining
the services of a contract sales organization will not exceed the revenues      
generated.                                                                      

If successfully developed and approved, we plan to market and sell our          
therapeutic and diagnostic products directly or through co-promotion            
arrangements or other licensing arrangements with third parties. In cases where 
we have sole or shared marketing rights, we plan to build a small, focused sales
force if and when such products approach marketing approval in some markets,    
including Europe. Implementation of this strategy will depend on many factors,  
including the market potential of any products we develop as well as on our     
financial resources. To the extent we will enter into co-promotion or other     
licensing arrangements, any revenues received by us will be dependent on the    
efforts of third parties.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS                            

General                                                                         

We are a development stage biopharmaceutical company that specializes in the    
research and development of therapeutics and diagnostics for the aging          
population with an emphasis on Alzheimer's disease.                             

We have begun to market the AlzheimAlert(TM) test, which we provide in our      
clinical reference laboratory, that is an aid to the diagnosis of Alzheimer's   
disease. AlzheimAlert(TM) is an improved version of our AD7C(TM) test, from     
which we began generating revenue from sales in 1997.                           

We also market NicAlert(TM) and NicoMeter(TM), our two products, which determine
a person's level of exposure to tobacco products.                               

We have under development therapeutic agents for the treatment of Alzheimer's   
disease, for the treatment of enlarged prostate (BPH) and of certain            
antibiotic-resistant infections as well as antibacterial agents for E. coli     
contamination of food and drink products.                                       

We also have the rights to a U.S. patent for the use of statin drugs for the    
treatment or prevention of Alzheimer's Disease.                                 

We have incurred operating losses throughout our history. Management believes   
that such operating losses will continue for the next few years. The costs      
relating to clinical trials for our potential therapeutic products will increase
expenditures and delay profitability, despite anticipated increases in sales    
revenue in the coming years.                                                    

All figures are presented in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated.             

Liquidity And Capital Resources                                                 

We fund our operations and projects primarily by selling shares of Nymox's      
common stock. However, since 1997, a small portion of our funding came from     
sales. This source of funding became more significant in late 1998, following   
the launch of our urinary version of the AD7C(TM) test. Since its incorporation 
in May, 1995, Nymox raised the capital necessary to fund its on-going research  
and development work and its marketing and sales operations primarily through   
private placements of its shares.                                               

On December 1, 1997, our common shares began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Nymox's common shares also traded on the Montreal Exchange from December 18,    
1995 to November 19,1999.                                                       

Private placements completed by Nymox since December, 1995 are as follows:      

o    December 1995, 1,578,635 common shares at a price of CAN$2.00 (US$1.38) per
share for total proceeds of CAN$3,157,270 (US$2,187,536);             
o    April 1996, 877,300 common shares at a price of CAN$6.00 (US$4.15) per     
share for total proceeds of CAN$5,263,800 (US$3,647,059);

This common stock purchase agreement expired in January 2003. As part of the    
agreement we issued to the investment company a stock purchase warrant, which   
expires November 30, 2004, permitting it to purchase up to 200,000 shares of our
common stock at an exercise price of $4.53 per share.                           

On January 27, 2003 we entered into a Common Stock Private Purchase Agreement   
with an investment company, Lorros-Greyse Investments, Ltd., for the future     
issuance and purchase of Nymox's common shares. We expect this stock purchase   
agreement to provide sufficient financing to enable us to advance our research  
and product development for the next two years.                                 

In general, the agreement provides Nymox with a commitment from the investment  
company to purchase up to $5 million of Nymox's common shares over the          
twenty-four month period beginning in January 2003. At any time during that     
period, we may give notice to the investment company requiring it to purchase a 
specified dollar amount of our shares. The amount specified in any one notice   
may be up to $500,000 but not less than $150,000. The maximum amount can be     
higher if both parties agree. The number of shares Nymox will issue to the      
investment company in return for that money will be equal to the amount         
specified in the notice divided by 97% of the average market price of our common
shares for the five trading days preceding the giving of the notice.            

Since January 27, 2003, we have received a total of $1,400,000 for the following
shares under this common stock private purchase agreement:                      

o    January 30, 2003, 107,382 common shares at a price of $3.725 per share.    
o    March 3, 2003, 245,098 common shares at a price of $4.08 per share.        

On April 30, 2003, Nymox had $3.6 million of financing available under the      
facility.                                                                       

Also, the Company has received total proceeds of $669,144 from the exercise of  
256,900 options since 1995 as follows:                                          

o    $355,536 for 158,900 shares at a per share price of $2.25.

Pursuant to the share purchase agreement entered into to acquire a controlling  
interest of Serex, Inc., a total of 257,607 additional shares and 158,526       
warrants were issued in exchange for the shares of Serex (see Note 4 "Business

In total, Nymox has raised over $28 million, since its incorporation in May     
1995.                                                                           

We have no financial obligations of significance other than long-term lease     
commitments for our premises in the United States and Canada of $14,583 per     
month in 2003 and ongoing research funding payments to a U.S. medical facility  
totaling $249,000 for 2003. Total commitments beyond 2002 are summarized in note
8 to the consolidated financial statements.

Results Of Operations                                                           

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001           

Overview                                                                        

Since inception, the Company has focused its activities on developing certain   
pharmaceutical technologies and obtaining outside funding to support the        
continued development of its technologies. The Company has incurred losses since
inception of operations. Future profitability will depend on the Company's      
ability to generate revenues from the sale of products and the licensing of     
technology sufficient to offset the expenditures required to further the        
Company's research and development program and ongoing operations. See Item 4 of
this report for a description of the projects in the Company pipeline.          

Effective January 1, 2000, the Company adopted the US dollar as its measurement 
currency. All amounts presented are in US dollars.                              

In 2000, the Company acquired a majority interest in Serex, Inc. for a          
consideration comprising common shares, warrants and options.                   

Critical Accounting Policies                                                    

In December 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") released       
"Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies".    
According to the SEC release, accounting policies are among the "most critical" 
if they are, in management's view, most important to the portrayal of the       
company's financial condition and most demanding on their calls for judgement.  

Our accounting policies are described in the notes to our consolidated financial
statements. We consider the following policies to be the most critical in       
understanding the judgements that are involved in preparing our financial       
statements and the matters that could impact our results of operations,         
financial condition and cash flows.                                             

Revenue Recognition                                                             

The Corporation applies guidance from SAB 101 (Staff Accounting Bulletin 101)   
issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in the recognition of revenue. 
The Company derives its revenue from product sales, research contracts, license 
fees and interest. Revenue from product sales is recognized when the product or 
service has been delivered or obligations as defined in the agreement are       
performed. Revenue from research contracts is recognized at the time research   
activities are performed under the agreement. Revenue from license fees,        
royalties and milestone payments is recognized upon the fulfillment of all      
obligations under the terms of the related agreement. These agreements may      
include upfront payments to be received by the Corporation. Upfront payments are
recognized as revenue on a systematic basis over the period that the related    
services or obligations as defined in the agreement are performed. Interest is  
recognized on an accrual basis. Deferred revenue presented in the balance sheet 
represents amounts billed to and received from customers in advance of revenue  
recognition.

The Company currently markets AlzheimAlert(TM) as a service provided by our CLIA
certified reference laboratory in New Jersey. Physicians send urine samples     
taken from their patients to our laboratory where the AlzheimAlert(TM) test is  
performed. The results are then reported back to the physicians. We recognize   
the revenues when the test has been performed. The Company sometimes enters into
bulk sales of its diagnostic products to customers under which it has a         
continuing obligation to perform related testing services at its laboratory.    
Although the Company receives non-refundable upfront payments under these       
agreements, revenue is recognized in the period that the Company fulfils its    
obligation or over the term of the arrangement. For research contracts and      
licensing revenues, the Company usually enters into an agreement specifying the 
terms and obligations of the parties. Revenues from these sources are only      
recognized when there are no longer any obligations to be performed by the      
Company under the terms of the agreement.                                       

Valuation of Capital Assets                                                     

The Company reviews the unamortized balance of property and equipment,          
intellectual property rights and patents on an annual basis and recognizes any  
impairment in carrying value when it is identified. Factors we consider         
important, which could trigger an impairment review include:                    

o    Significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the 
strategy for our overall business; and                                
o    Significant negative industry or economic trends.                          

No impairment losses were recognized for the periods ended December 31, 2002,   
2001 and 2000.                                                                  

Valuation of Future Income Tax Assets                                           

Management judgement is required in determining the valuation allowance recorded
against net future tax assets. We have recorded a valuation allowance of $7.8   
million as of December 31, 2002, due to uncertainties related to our ability to 
utilize some of our future tax assets, primarily consisting of net operating    
losses carried forward and other unclaimed deductions, before they expire. In   
assessing the realizability of future tax assets, management considers whether  
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the future tax assets    
will not be realized. The ultimate realization of future tax assets is dependent
upon the generation of future taxable income and tax planning strategies. The   
generation of future taxable income is dependent on the successful              
commercialization of our products and technologies.                             

Results of Operations                                                           

Revenues                                                                        
Revenues from sales amounted to $356,162 for the year ended December 31, 2002,  
compared with $235,288 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase is    
attributable principally to higher sales volumes for NicAlert(TM) (increase of  
94%). Interest revenue was $5,586 in 2002 compared to $17,918 in 2001, due to   
lower average cash balances. In 2002, one customer accounted for 33% of revenues
and three customers accounted for 65% of total revenues.

Research and Development                                                        
Research and development expenditures were $1,706,086 for the year ended        
December 31, 2002, compared with $1,499,654 for the year ended December 31,     
2001. The increase is attributable to higher spending in the development of the 
therapeutic products in the Company's pipeline. In 2002, research tax credits   
amounted to $16,656 compared to $20,052 in 2001.                                

Marketing Expenses                                                              
Marketing expenditures were $235,925 for the year ended December 31, 2002, in   
comparison to expenditures of $343,244 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The
decrease is attributable to reduced costs relating to marketing agreements.     

Administrative Expenses                                                         
General and administrative expenses amounted to $1,230,439 for the year ended   
December 31, 2002, compared with $1,087,326 in the year ended December 31, 2001,
due primarily to increased Directors & Officers insurance premiums (increase of 
240%).                                                                          

Foreign Exchange                                                                
The Company incurs expenses in the local currency of the countries in which it  
operates, which include the United States and Canada. Approximately 75% of 2002 
expenses (75% in 2001) were in U.S. dollars. Foreign exchange fluctuations had  
no meaningful impact on the Company's results in 2002 or 2001.                  

Inflation                                                                       
The Company does not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on its 
results of operations.                                                          

Long-Term Commitments                                                           
Nymox has no financial obligations of significance other than long-term lease   
commitments for its premises in the United States and Canada of $14,583 per     
month and ongoing research funding payments to a U.S. medical facility totaling 
approximately $479,000 over the next two years. The timing of our contractual   
commitments are as follows:

Research Licensing             $249,000    $230,000               $479,000      

Results of Operations                                                           
Net losses for the period ended December 31, 2002 were $3,422,019, or $0.15 per 
share, compared to $3,049,504, or $0.14 per share, for the same period in 2001. 
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year ending    
December 31, 2002 were 22,651,639 compared to 21,873,966 for the same period in 
2001.                                                                           

Financial Position                                                              

Liquidity and Capital Resources                                                 

As of December 31, 2002, cash totaled $660,629 and receivables totaled $101,364.
In January 2003, the Corporation signed a common stock private purchase         
agreement whereby the investor is committed to purchase up to $5 million of the 
Corporation's common shares over a twenty-four month period commencing January  
2003. As at March 31, 2003, two drawings had been made under this purchase

107,382 common shares were issued at a price of $3.725 per share and on March 3,
2003, 245,098 common shares were issued at a price of $4.08 per share. The      
Company intends to access financing under this agreement when appropriate to    
fund its research and development.                                              

During 2002, the Company completed seven private placements and issued 714,574  
common shares for total proceeds of $2,995,525. On January 24, 74,074 shares

were issued at a price of $4.10 in a private placement for total proceeds of    
$512,500.                                                                       

The Company used cash of $2,406,600 in operations in 2002 compared to $2,595,201
in 2001. The Company invested $605,538 in additional capital assets in the year 
ended December 31, 2002, consisting mostly of patent costs, compared to $340,662
in the same period in 2001. The Company believes that funds from operations as  
well as from existing equity facilities will be sufficient to meet the Company's
cash requirements for the next twelve months.                                   

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000           

Revenue                                                                         

Revenue from sales amounted to $235,288 for the year ended December 31, 2001,   
compared with $157,688 for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase is    
attributable to higher sales volumes for both AlzheimAlert(TM) ($113,132) and   
NicAlert(TM) ($122,156) in 2001 compared to 2000 (AlzheimAlert(TM) increased 93%
and NicAlert(TM) increased 23%). The Company also earned revenue from research  
and licensing contracts ($127,403). Research contract revenue ($30,000) was     
funded by the Foundation for Nutritional Advancement. A director and officer of 
the Foundation is also a director of the Company. License fees ($97,403) include
the sale of certain rights to a third party in 2001 for which the Company has no
continuing obligations. Interest revenue was $17,918 in 2001 compared to $68,179
in 2000, due to lower average cash balances. In 2001, one customer accounted for
approximately 26% of revenue and, in total, 5 customers accounted for 54% of    
revenue in 2001. In 2000 and 1999, no single customer accounted for more than   
10% of revenue.                                                                 

Expenses                                                                        

Research and development expenditures were $1,499,654 for the year ended        
December 31, 2001, compared with $2,084,232 for the year ended December 31,     
2000. Management reduced its salary expenses in R&D by reducing staff, while    
advancing its development of the products in the Company's pipeline. In 2001,   
research tax credits amounted to $20,052 compared to $10,457 in 2000.           

Marketing expenditures remained relatively constant at $343,244 for the year    
ended December 31, 2001, in comparison to the expenditures of $363,142 for the  
year ended December 31, 2000.

General and administrative expenses amounted to $1,087,326 for the year ended   
December 31, 2001, compared with $1,335,500 in the year ended December 31, 2000.
The decrease is principally due to reductions in professional fees.             

Results of Operations                                                           

Net losses for the period ended December 31, 2001 were $3,049,504, or $0.14 per 
share, compared to $4,023,979, or $0.19 per share, for the same period in 2000. 
The weighted, fully diluted, average number of common shares outstanding for the
period ending December 31, 2001 were 21,995,694 compared to 21,130,286 for the  
same period in 2000.                                                            

The Company invested $340,662 in additional capital assets in the year ended    
December 31, 2001, consisting mostly of patent costs, compared to $381,568 in   
the same period in 2000.                                                        

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999           

Revenue                                                                         

Revenue from sales amounted to $157,688 for the year ended December 31, 2000,   
compared with $153,252 for the year ended December 31, 1999. Sales for fiscal   
2000 include the revenue from sales of the NicAlert(TM) test of $99,148 and for 
the diagnostic test AlzheimAlert(TM) and its predecessor AD7C(TM) of $58,540.   
The price for AlzheimAlert(TM) was reduced in 2000, resulting in a drop in      
revenue but not in sales volume for this product. Interest revenue was $68,179  
in 2000, compared to $36,951 in 1999, derived from interest earned on the       
Company's cash balances. The AlzheimAlert(TM) test is an improved version of    
this diagnostic product and we anticipate an increase in sales volume and       
revenue for this product in the coming years.                                   

Expenses                                                                        

Research and development expenditures were $2,084,232 for the year ended        
December 31, 2000, compared with $1,137,122 for the year ended December 31,     
1999, reflecting a net increase in expenditures in the development of the       
products in the Company's existing pipeline of $860,380, as well as development 
of the potential products acquired with the acquisition of Serex Inc. of        
$86,730. In 2000, research tax credits amounted to $10,457 compared to $4,181 in

Nymox has created a stock option plan for its key employees, its officers and   
directors and certain consultants. The board of directors of Nymox administers  
the plan. The board may grant options to purchase a specified number of common  
shares of Nymox to a designated individual. The total number of common shares to
be optioned to any one individual cannot exceed 5% of the total number of issued
and outstanding shares and the maximum number of common shares which may be     
optioned under the plan cannot exceed 2,500,000 shares without shareholder      
approval.                                                                       

The board fixes the option price per share for common shares that are the       
subject of any option, when it grants any such option. The option price cannot  
involve a discount to the market price when the option is granted. The period   
during which an option is exercisable shall not exceed 10 years from the date   
when the option is granted. The options may not be assigned, transferred or     
pledged and expire within three months of the termination of employment or      
office with the Company and six months of the death of an individual.

Legal Proceedings                                                               

In December 2000, an investment company, Amro International, S.A., served Nymox 
with a Statement of Claim filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice      
(Court File No. 00-CV-201587), claiming to be entitled to the issuance of       
388,797 shares in accordance with repricing provisions contained in the March   
2000 agreement between Amro and Nymox and to damages of $4 million for lost     
opportunity to sell these shares. Nymox believes that Amro's interpretation of  
the repricing provisions in the March 2000 agreement is incorrect and that      
Amro's damage claims are without merit. Nymox has filed a Statement of Defense  
and intends to defend the action vigorously and to consider its other options   
with respect to this matter.                                                    

Dr. Fitzpatrick, a former employee, has filed a demand for arbitration with the 
American Arbitration Association concerning the termination of her employment   
with the company. She is claiming damages of up to $498,000.00 plus attorney's  
fees and costs based upon alleged violations of New Jersey law and breach of an 
employment agreement. Subsequently, in October 2002, she filed a complaint in   
the New Jersey Superior Court concerning the termination of her employment with 
the Company. The complaint claims unspecified damages. The Company believes     
these claims are without merit and intends to defend the matter vigorously.

AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS                                            

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Nymox Pharmaceutical         
Corporation as at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the consolidated statements of 
operations, deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001  
and 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial      
statements based on our audits.                                                 

With respect to the consolidated financial statements for the years ended       
December 31, 2002 and 2001, we conducted our audits in accordance with United   
States generally accepted auditing standards and Canadian generally accepted    
auditing standards. With respect to the consolidated financial statements for   
the year ended December 31, 2000, we conducted our audit in accordance with     
Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we 
plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial  
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a 
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial    
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall     
financial statement presentation.                                               

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all  
material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as at December 31, 
2002 and 2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 in accordance with Canadian generally    
accepted accounting principles.

NYMOX PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATION                                                
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements                                      

Years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000                                    
(in US dollars)                                                                 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   Business activities:                                                       

  Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation (the "Corporation"), incorporated under
 the Canada Business Corporations Act, including its subsidiaries, Nymox
 Corporation, a Delaware Corporation, and Serex Inc. of New Jersey, is a
biopharmaceutical corporation which specializes in the research and   
development of products for the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's
   disease. The Corporation is currently marketing AlzheimAlertTM, a urinary
test that aids physicians in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. The
   Corporation also markets NicAlertTM and NicoMeterTM, tests that use urine
or saliva to detect use of tobacco products. The Corporation is also  
developing therapeutics for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, new 
   treatments for benign prostate hyperplasia, and new anti-bacterial agents
for the treatment of urinary tract and other bacterial infections in  
     humans, including a treatment for E-coli O157:H7 bacterial contamination in
meat and other food and drink products.                               

    Since 1989, the Corporation's activities and resources have been primarily
    focused on developing certain pharmaceutical technologies. The Corporation
   is subject to a number of risks, including the successful development and
  marketing of its technologies. In order to achieve its business plan and
the realization of its assets and liabilities in the normal course of 
operations, the Corporation anticipates the need to raise additional  
capital and/or achieve sales and other revenue generating activities. 
Management believes that funds from operations as well as existing    
financing facilities will be sufficient to meet the Corporation's     
requirements for the next year.                                       

The Corporation is listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market.                 

2.   Significant accounting policies:                                           

(a)  Consolidation and change in measurement currency:                

      The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been
    prepared under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles
   ("GAAP") and include the accounts of its US subsidiaries, Nymox
          Corporation and Serex Inc. Intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated on consolidation.                           

         Consolidated financial statements prepared under US GAAP would differ
       in some respects from those prepared in Canada. A reconciliation of
          earnings and shareholders' equity reported in accordance with Canadian
GAAP and with US GAAP is presented in note 12.

(b)  Inventories:                                                     

         Inventories consist of finished goods and are carried at the lower of
        cost and net realizable value. Cost of is determined on the basis of
weighted average cost.                                      

(c)  Property and equipment, patents and intellectual property:       

          Property and equipment, patents and intellectual property are recorded
 at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the
straight-line method at the following rates:                

  ==============================================================
 Asset                                                    Rate
  --------------------------------------------------------------
 Laboratory equipment                                      20%
 Computer equipment                                        20%
 Office equipment and fixtures                             20%
 Intellectual property rights acquired                     10%
  ==============================================================

     Direct costs incurred in connection with securing the patents are
    capitalized. Patents are being amortized using the straight-line
         method over the shorter of their economic useful lives or their legal
         terms of existence ranging from 17 to 20 years commencing in the year
of commercial production of the developed products.         

         Management reviews the unamortized balance of property and equipment,
      patents and intellectual property whenever events or circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An
        impairment loss would be recognized when estimates of non-discounted
         future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset and its
         eventual disposition are less than the carrying amount. No impairment
          losses were identified by the Corporation for the years ended December
31, 2002, 2001 and 2000.                                    

(d)  Revenue recognition:                                             

   The Corporation applies guidance from SAB 101 (Staff Accounting
         Bulletin 101) issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in the
recognition of revenue.                                     

        Revenue from product sales is recognized when the product or service
     has been delivered or obligations as defined in the agreement are
        performed. Revenue from research contracts is recognized at the time
       research activities are performed under the agreement. Revenue from
         license fees, royalties and milestone payments is recognized upon the
 fulfillment of all obligations under the terms of the related
  agreement. These agreements may include upfront payments to be
   received by the Corporation. Upfront payments are recognized as
  revenue on a systematic basis over the period that the related
      services or obligations as defined in the agreement are performed.
Interest is recognized on an accrual basis.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements                                      

Years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000                                    
(in US dollars)                                                                 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Significant accounting policies (continued):                                 

(d)  Revenue recognition (continued):                                 

   Deferred revenue represents amounts billed to and received from
customers in advance of revenue recognition.                

(e)  Research and development expenditures:                           

       Research expenditures, net of research tax credits, are expensed as
        incurred. Development expenditures, net of tax credits, are expensed
 as incurred, except if they meet the criteria for deferral in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.   

(f)  Foreign currency translation:                                    

       The Corporation's measurement currency is the United States dollar.
          Monetary assets and liabilities of the Canadian and foreign operations
     denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar are
       translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet
       dates. Other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other
      than the United States dollar are translated at the exchange rates
         prevailing when the assets were acquired or the liabilities incurred.
         Revenues and expenses denominated in currencies other than the United
        States dollar are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing
       during the year, except for depreciation and amortization which are
        translated at the same rates as those used in the translation of the
          corresponding assets. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from
      the translation are included in the determination of net earnings.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the revised  
      recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants
  ("CICA") with respect to foreign currency translation. The new
         recommendations eliminate the deferral and amortization of unrealized
     foreign currency translation gains and losses on foreign currency
      denominated monetary items that have a fixed or ascertainable life
     extending beyond the end of the fiscal year following the current
         reporting period. The new recommendations also require the disclosure
   of foreign exchange gains (losses) included in the consolidated
       statements of operations which, for fiscal 2002, amounted to $3,315
(2001 - $15,910; 2000 - $14,776). The change was adopted    
    retroactively. There was no impact on the Company's consolidated
        financial position, results of operations and cash flows as a result
of adopting these recommendations.

NYMOX PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATION                                                
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements                                      

Years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000                                    
(in US dollars)                                                                 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.   Significant accounting policies (continued):                               

(g) Stock-based compensation plan:                                    

        Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the new recommendations
        of the CICA, Handbook Section 3870, with respect to the accounting for
  stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments. The new
         recommendations require that all stock-based payments to non-employees,
and employee awards that are direct awards of stock, call for 
      settlement in cash or other assets, or are stock appreciation rights
         that call for settlement by the issuance of equity instruments, granted
    on or after January 1, 2002, be accounted for using the fair value
     method. For all other stock-based employee compensation awards, the
       CICA has not prescribed specific methods, and, therefore, the Company
    has chosen to use the settlement method of accounting as permitted
       under the new standard. Under this method, no compensation expense is
recognized when stock options are issued to employees. Any    
    consideration received from the plan participants upon exercise of
stock options is credited to share capital.                   

   The new standard requires that the Company disclose the pro forma
         effect of accounting for all stock-based awards granted during the year
     ended December 31, 2002 under the fair value-based method (see note
         10). In the first year of application, comparative disclosures need not
be provided for prior years.                                  

(h) Income taxes:                                                     

         The Corporation accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability
         method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income
tax assets and liabilities are determined based on "temporary 
    differences" (differences between the accounting basis and the tax
  basis of the assets and liabilities), and are measured using the
 currently enacted, or substantively enacted, tax rates and laws
         expected to apply when these differences reverse. A valuation allowance
      is recorded against any future income tax asset if it is more likely
than not that the asset will not be realized.                 

(i) Earnings per share:                                               

    Basic earnings per share are determined using the weighted average
         number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
       per share are computed in a manner consistent with basic earnings per
         share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased
       to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of options and
         warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by
        assuming that outstanding options and warrants were exercised and that
        the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire shares of common
stock at the average market price during the reporting period.

Years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000                                    
(in US dollars)

2. Significant accounting policies (continued):                                 

(j) Use of estimates:                                                 

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
        liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
       date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
        and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
         from those estimates. Significant areas requiring the use of management
     estimates include estimating the useful lives of long-lived assets,
    including property and equipment and intangible assets, as well as
      estimating the recoverability of research tax credits receivable and
future tax assets.                                            

3.   Property and equipment:

6.   Non-controlling interest:                                                  

    Non-controlling interest includes redeemable, convertible preferred shares
   of Serex in the amount of $800,000. Up to 50% of the preferred shares are
redeemable at any time at the option of the preferred shareholders for
  their issue price. The preferred shares are also convertible into common
shares of Serex at a price of $3.946 per share.                       

    The long-term receivables are due from the preferred shareholders and will
be settled when the preferred shares are redeemed.                    

7.   Share capital:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements                                      

Years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000                                    
(in US dollars)

(b)  Private placements and other:                                    

     In 2002, the Corporation completed private placements for 714,574
         common shares and received aggregate proceeds of $2,995,525. In 2001,
          the Corporation completed private placements for 594,100 common shares
        and received aggregate proceeds of $1,799,490. The share issue costs
     related to these private placements have been charged against the
deficit.                                                    

  The Corporation also issued 932 common shares and 574 Series J
          warrants to purchase an additional 5,000 shares of Serex, Inc. that it
      did not already own. The Corporation now owns approximately 98% of
          Serex, Inc. The warrants are exercisable at $3.70 per share and expire
      on July 31, 2005. In addition, the Corporation issued 7,923 common
shares for certain services totalling $32,420.              

(c)  Common Stock Purchase Agreement:                                 

    In November 1999, the Corporation and Jaspas Investments Limited
         ("Jaspas"), a corporation based in the British Virgin Islands, signed
        a common stock purchase agreement (the "Agreement") that established
 the terms and conditions for the issuance and purchase of the
       Corporation's common shares by Jaspas. In general terms, Jaspas was
       committed to purchase up to $12 million of the Corporation's common
shares over a thirty-month period.                          

       The Agreement established what was referred to by the parties as an
 equity drawdown facility. On a monthly basis, the Corporation
         requested, at its discretion, a drawdown on the facility subject to a
         formula, based on the average stock price and average trading volume,
    that sets the maximum amount for any given draw. At the end of a
       22-day trading period following the drawdown request, the amount of
          money that Jaspas provided to the Corporation and the number of shares
          that the Corporation issued was settled based on the formula using the
     average daily share price for each of the 22 trading days. Jaspas
        received a 6% discount on the market price determined for the 22-day
          trading period, and the Corporation received the settled amount less a
3% placement fee payable to the placement agents.           

  In 2002, the Corporation did not make any drawdowns under this
       facility. In 2001, the Corporation issued 217,804 common shares and
raised $436,709 under this facility.                        

          The gross fees related to this transaction amounted to $242,732. These
          costs were initially accounted for as deferred share issuance costs to
        be amortized over the thirty-month drawdown period. Amortization was
      calculated for each drawdown based on the percentage of the actual
        drawdown over the total facility. In 2002, the Corporation amortized
     nil (2001 - $29,054) deferred share issuance costs to the deficit
        related to drawdowns in the year. In addition, the Corporation wrote
       off against earnings deferred share issuance costs in the amount of
          $106,195 (2001 - $87,263) for the portion of the facility that was not
      utilized by the Corporation. The facility expired in January 2003.

        The Corporation has established a stock option plan (the "Plan") for
its key employees, its officers and directors, and certain

    whom options to purchase common shares of the Corporation may be
        granted, the number of shares to be optioned to each, and the option
         price per share. The option price per share cannot involve a discount

          number of shares to be optioned to any one individual cannot exceed 5%
        of the total issued and outstanding shares and the maximum number of
       shares which may be optioned under the Plan cannot exceed 2,500,000

          ======================================================================

(b)  Research funding agreement:                                      

        The Corporation is committed to make research grants to an unrelated
         medical facility in the U.S. in the aggregate amount of approximately
$479,000 in the next two years as follows:                  

          ======================================================================
   2003                                                 $  249,000
   2004                                                    230,000
          ----------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                        $  479,000
          ======================================================================

     Under this agreement, the medical facility benefits from research
     funding and collaboration from the Corporation and is entitled to
          royalties based on a percentage of sales of any commercialized product
derived from this research.                                 

(c)  Contingencies:                                                   

Litigation:                                                 

         In December 2000, an investment company served the Corporation with a
       Statement of Claim filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice
        claiming to be entitled to the issuance of 388,797 additional shares
  in accordance with repricing provisions contained in a private
   placement that was finalized in March 2000 and to damages of $4
      million for lost opportunity to sell these shares. The Corporation
          believes that the company's interpretation of the repricing provisions
      in the March 2000 agreement is incorrect and intends to defend the
       action vigorously. Accordingly, no provision related to this matter
has been recorded in these financial statements.

(in US dollars)

(c)  Contingencies (continued):                                       

Demand for arbitration:                                     

        In March 2002, a former employee filed a demand for arbitration with
          the American Arbitration Association concerning the termination of her
        employment with the Corporation. The employee is claiming damages of
     up to $498,000 plus attorney's fees and costs, based upon alleged
       violations of New Jersey law and breach of an employment agreement.
        Subsequently, in October 2002, the former employee filed a complaint
      in the New Jersey Superior Court concerning the termination of her
     employment with the Corporation. The complaint claims unspecified
        damages. The Corporation believes these claims are without merit and
intends to defend the matter vigorously.                    

9.   Income taxes:

   In assessing the realizability of future tax assets, management considers
   whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the future
 tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of future tax
  assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and tax
   planning strategies. The generation of future taxable income is dependent
on the successful commercialization of its products and technologies.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements                                      

Years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000                                    
(in US dollars)                                                                 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.  Earnings per share (continued):                                            

(a)  Basic and diluted earnings per share (continued):                

        Excluded from the above calculations are 1,186,500 stock options and
      453,334 warrants which were deemed to be anti-dilutive because the
     exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the
      common shares (2001 - 760,500 options and 293,334 warrants; 2000 -
507,500 options and 135,624 warrants).                      

(b)  Stock-based compensation:                                        

         If the fair value-based accounting method under Handbook Section 3870
        had been used to account for stock-based compensation costs relating
      to exempt options and warrants issued to employees during the year
    ended December 31, 2002, the net loss and related loss per share
figures would be as follows:

          ======================================================================

          The weighted average fair value of each option granted is estimated on
    the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the
following weighted average assumptions:                     

          ======================================================================
          Risk free interest rate                                          4.49%
          Expected volatility                                                54%
          Expected life in years                                               5

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements                                      

Years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000                                    
(in US dollars)

10.  Earnings per share (continued):                                            

(b)  Stock-based compensation:                                        

       The following table summarizes the weighted average grant-date fair
          value per share for options granted during the year ended December 31,
2002:                                                       

          ======================================================================
                                                                Weighted average

           to market price per share                 20,000              $  4.45
          ======================================================================

     Dividend yield was excluded from the calculation, since it is the
       present policy of the Corporation to retain all earnings to finance
         operations. In addition, option valuation models require the input of
    highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price
volatility.                                                 

11.  Financial instruments:                                                     

(a)  Foreign currency risk management:                                

       Effective January 1, 2000, the Corporation adopted the US dollar as
       its measurement currency because a substantial portion of revenues,
          expenses, assets and liabilities of its Canadian and US operations are
denominated in US dollars. The Canadian operation also has  
         transactions denominated in Canadian dollars, principally relating to
        salaries and rent. Fluctuations in the currency used for the payment
          of the Corporation's expenses denominated in currencies other than the
         US dollar could cause unanticipated fluctuations in the Corporation's
    operating results. The Corporation does not engage in the use of
      derivative financial instruments to manage its currency exposures.

(b)  Fair value disclosure:                                           

      Fair value estimates are made as of a specific point in time using
         available information about the financial instrument. These estimates
are subjective in nature and often cannot be determined with
precision.                                                  

 The Corporation has determined that the carrying value of its
       short-term financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value
  due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial
      instruments. The fair value of the long-term receivables cannot be
  determined because settlement is tied to the redemption of the
preferred shares. See note 6.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements                                      

Years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000                                    
(in US dollars)                                                                 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11.  Financial instruments (continued):                                         

(c)  Credit risk:                                                     

       Credit risk results from the possibility that a loss may occur from
         the failure of another party to perform according to the terms of the
contract. Financial instruments that potentially subject the
          Corporation to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash
          and accounts receivable. Cash is maintained with a high-credit quality
   financial institution. For accounts receivable, the Corporation
       performs periodic credit evaluations and typically does not require
     collateral. Allowances are maintained for potential credit losses
        consistent with the credit risk, historical trends, general economic
conditions and other information.                           

(d)  Interest rate risk:                                              

The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is as follows: 

          ======================================================================

          Cash                                               Fixed interest rate
          Notes payable                                   Floating interest rate

Years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000                                    
(in US dollars)

(d)  Other disclosures required by United States GAAP (continued):    

(2)  Stock-based compensation:                              

           For US GAAP purposes, the Corporation applies APB Opinion 25,
             Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, in accounting for its
           stock option plan, and, accordingly, no compensation cost has
             been recognized for stock options granted to employees in these
             financial statements. As explained in note 12 (b), compensation
   cost has been recognized for stock options granted to
            non-employees. Had compensation cost been determined for stock
               options granted to employees based on the fair value at the grant
           dates for awards under the plan consistent with the method of
              FASB Statement 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the
           Corporation's net earnings and loss per share would have been
            adjusted to the pro-forma amounts indicated below for US GAAP:

              The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of
         grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
             following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate
          of 4.49% (2001 - 5.49%; 2000 - 5.50%), dividend yield of 0%,
       expected volatility of 54% (2001 - 163%; 2000 - 80%), and
expected life of 5 years.                         

(e)  Recent accounting pronouncements:                                

   In August 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
     Retirement Obligations". SFAS No. 143 requires the Corporation to
          record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability
       in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with
   the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. This statement is
          effective for the Corporation's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2003.
         The Corporation does not expect SFAS No. 143 to have an impact on its
financial statements.

        Purchase Agreement with an investment company (the "Purchaser") that
          establishes the terms and conditions for the purchase of common shares
         by the Purchaser. In general, the Corporation can, at its discretion,
       require the purchaser to purchase up to $5 million of common shares
 over a twenty-four-month period based on notices given by the
Corporation.                                                

          The number of shares to be issued in connection with each notice shall
        be equal to the amount specified in the notice divided by 97% of the
      average price of the Corporation's common shares for the five days
         preceding the giving of the notice. The maximum amount of each notice
       is $500,000 and the minimum amount is $150,000. The Corporation may
        terminate the agreement before the 24-month term if it has issued at
least $3 million of common shares under the agreement.      

         In February 2003, the Corporation issued 107,382 common shares to the
      Purchaser for aggregate proceeds of $400,000 under this agreement.

Business Corporations Act prohibits such a director from voting on any          
resolution to approve the contract or transaction unless the contract or        
transaction:                                                                    

    o    Is an arrangement by way of security for money lent to or obligations
   undertaken by the director for the benefit of the company or an
affiliate;                                                  

   o    relates primarily to his or her remuneration as a director, officer,
employee or agent of the company or an affiliate;           

     o    is for indemnity or insurance for director's liability as permitted by
the Act; or                                                 

o    is with an affiliate.                                            

Our board of directors may, on behalf of the company and without authorization  
of our shareholders:                                                            

o    borrow money upon the credit of the company;                     

o    issue, reissue, sell or pledge debt obligations of the company;  

    o    give a guarantee on behalf of the company to secure performance of an
obligation of any person; and                               

    o    mortgage, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise create a security interest
          in all or any property of the company, owned or subsequently acquired,
to secure any obligation of the company.                    

The Canada Business Corporations Act prohibits the giving of a guarantee to any 
shareholder, director, officer or employee of the company or of an affiliated   
corporation or to an associate of any such person for any purpose or to any     
person for the purpose of or in connection with a purchase of a share issued or 
to be issued by the company or its affiliates, where there are reasonable       
grounds for believing that the company is or, after giving the guarantee, would 
be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due, or the realizable value of 
the company's assets in the form of assets pledged or encumbered to secure a    
guarantee, after giving the guarantee, would be less than the aggregate of the  
company's liabilities and stated capital of all classes.                        

These borrowing powers may be varied by the company's bylaws or its articles of 
incorporation. However, our bylaws and articles of incorporation do not contain 
any restrictions on or variations of these borrowing powers.                    

Common Shares                                                                   

Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of  
common shares. They do not authorize the issuance of any other class of shares.

The holders of the common shares of our Company are entitled to receive notice  
of and to attend all meetings of the shareholders of our Company and have one   
vote for each common share held at all meetings of the shareholders of our      
Company. Our directors are elected at each annual meeting of shareholders and do
not stand for reelection at staggered intervals.                                

The holders of common shares are entitled to receive dividends and our company  
will pay dividends, as and when declared by our board of directors, out of      
moneys properly applicable to the payment of dividends, in such amount and in   
such form as our board of directors may from time to time determine, and all    
dividends which our board of directors may declare on the common shares shall be
declared and paid in equal amounts per share on all common shares at the time   
outstanding.                                                                    

In the event of the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the company,      
whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of assets of the    
company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the   
holders of the common shares will be entitled to receive the remaining property 
and assets of the company.                                                      

Action Necessary To Change Rights Of Shareholders                               

In order to change the rights of our shareholders, we would need to amend our   
articles of incorporation to effect the change. Such an amendment would require 
the approval of holders of two-thirds of the shares cast at a duly called       
special meeting. For certain amendments such as those creating of a class of    
preferred shares, a shareholder is entitled to dissent in respect of such a     
resolution amending our articles and, if the resolution is adopted and the      
company implements such changes, demand payment of the fair value of its shares.

Meetings Of Shareholders                                                        

An annual meeting of shareholders is held each year for the purpose of          
considering the financial statements and reports, electing directors, appointing
auditors and for the transaction of other business as may be brought before the 
meeting. The board of directors has the power to call a special meeting of      
shareholders at any time.                                                       

Notice of the time and place of each meeting of shareholders must be given not  
less than 21 days, nor more than 50 days, before the date of each meeting to    
each director, to the auditor and to each shareholder who at the close of       
business on the record date for notice is entered in the securities register as 
the holder of one or more shares carrying the right to vote at the meeting.     
Notice of meeting of shareholders called for any other purpose other than       
consideration of the minutes of an earlier meeting, financial statements and    
auditor's report, election of directors and reappointment of the incumbent      
auditor, must state the nature of the business in sufficient detail to permit   
the shareholder to form a reasoned judgment on and must state the text of any   
special resolution or by-law to be submitted to the meeting.                    

The only persons entitled to be present at a meeting of shareholders are those  
entitled to vote, the directors of the company and the auditor of the company.  
Any other person may be admitted only on the invitation of the chairman of the  
meeting or with the consent of the meeting. In circumstances where a court      
orders a meeting of shareholders, the court may direct how the meeting may be   
held, including who may attend the meeting.

Limitations On Right To Own Securities                                          

Neither Canadian law nor our articles or by-laws limit the right of a           
nonresident to hold or vote our shares, other than as provided in the Investment
Canada Act (the "Investment Act"), as amended by the World Trade Organization   
Agreement Implementation Act. The Investment Act generally prohibits            
implementation of a direct reviewable investment by an individual, government or
agency thereof, corporation, partnership, trust or joint venture that is not a  
"Canadian," as defined in the Investment Act (a "non-Canadian"), unless, after  
review, the minister responsible for the Investment Act is satisfied that the   
investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. An investment in our shares
by a non-Canadian (other than a "WTO Investor," as defined below) would be      
reviewable under the Investment Act if it were an investment to acquire direct  
control of our company, and the value of the assets of our company were CDN$5.0 
million or more (provided that immediately prior to the implementation of the   
investment our company was not controlled by WTO Investors). An investment in   
our shares by a WTO Investor (or by a non-Canadian other than a WTO Investor if,
immediately prior to the implementation of the investment our company was       
controlled by WTO Investors) would be reviewable under the Investment Act if it 
were an investment to acquire direct control of our company (in 2001) and the   
value of the assets of our company equaled or exceeded CDN$209.0 million. A     
non-Canadian, whether a WTO Investor or otherwise, would be deemed to acquire   
control of our company for purposes of the Investment Act if he or she acquired 
a majority of the our shares. The acquisition of less than a majority, but at   
least one-third of our shares, would be presumed to be an acquisition of control
of our company, unless it could be established that we were not controlled in   
fact by the acquirer through the ownership of our shares. In general, an        
individual is a WTO Investor if he or she is a "national" of a country (other   
than Canada) that is a member of the World Trade Organization ("WTO Member") or 
has a right of permanent residence in a WTO Member. A corporation or other      
entity will be a "WTO Investor" if it is a "WTO investor-controlled entity,"    
pursuant to detailed rules set out in the Investment Act. The United States is a
WTO Member. Certain transactions involving our shares would be exempt from the  
Investment Act, including:                                                      

(a)  an acquisition of our shares if the acquisition were made in the 
      ordinary course of that person's business as a trader or dealer in
securities;                                                 

(b)  an acquisition of control of our company in connection with the  
  foreclosure of a security interest granted for a loan or other
    assistance and not for any purpose related to the provisions the
Investment Act; and                                         

     (c)  an acquisition of control of our company by reason of an amalgamation,
         consolidation or corporate reorganization, following which the direct
    or indirect control in fact of our company, through ownership of
voting interests, remains unchanged.                        

Change Of Control                                                               

There are no provisions of our bylaws or articles of incorporation that would   
have an effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the  
company and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or    
corporate restructuring involving the company. Our bylaws do not contain a      
provision governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership   
must be disclosed.

Material Contracts                                                              

The following is a summary of our company's material contracts, entered into    
since January 1, 1999.                                                          

1.   The Common Stock Private Purchase Agreement between Nymox        
    Pharmaceutical Corporation and Lorros-Greyse Investments Limited
       January 27, 2003. This agreement established a financing commitment
       for $5 million over a twenty-four month period starting January 27,
 2003. The terms and conditions of this commitment are further
       described in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section in Item 5 of
this report.                                                

    2.   The Common Stock Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement
   between Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation and Jaspas Investments
       Limited November 1, 1999. These agreements expired in January 2003.
         The terms and conditions of these agreements are further described in
        our F-1 Registration Statement filed with the SEC on November 9, and
declared effective on December 4, 2001.                     

   3.   The Research and License Agreement between Rhode Island Hospital and
     Nymox Corporation dated May 20, 1999. Under this agreement, Nymox
        sponsors the research of two principal investigators, Dr. Suzanne de
    Monte and Dr. Jack Wands, pertaining to the use of neural thread
      protein diagnostic or therapeutic purposes in return for licensing
       rights to and patents arising out of this research. The sponsorship
agreement was recently extended to March 1, 2005.           

    4.   The Share Purchase Agreement between Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation
        and. Judith Fitzpatrick dated January 8, 2000. Under this agreement,
      we acquired 1,008,250 shares of the common stock of Serex, Inc. on
         March 2, 2000, which represented a majority interest of that company,
    in exchange for the issuance of 187,951 of our common shares and
     warrants (Series G) to purchase 115,662 of our shares at a strike
price of $3.70 per share.                                   

   5.   The Common Stock and Warrants Purchase Agreement dated March 6, 2000
         between Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation and Amro International, S.A.
        ("Amro"). Under this Agreement, Amro purchased 666,667 common shares
          of Nymox and received a warrant to purchase up to 66,667 common shares
          of Nymox at a strike price of $9.375 per share, for an aggregate of $4
          million. The Agreement provided Amro with two opportunities to reprice
  a portion of the 666,667 common shares it initially purchased.
    Pursuant to these two repricing obligations, Nymox issued Amro a
further 154,970 common shares.                              

Exchange Controls                                                               

Canada has no system of exchange controls. There are no exchange restrictions on
borrowing from foreign countries or on the remittance of dividends, interest,   
royalties and similar payments, management fees, loan repayments, settlement of 
trade debts or the repatriation of capital.                                     

There are no limitations on the rights of non-Canadians to exercise voting      
rights on their shares of Nymox.

TAXATION                                                                        

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Persons                         

This section contains a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax              
considerations for U.S. Persons (as defined below) who hold common shares of    
Nymox. This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended 
(the "Code"), Treasury regulations, rulings of the Internal Revenue Service (the
"IRS"), and judicial decisions in existence on the date hereof, all of which are
subject to change. Any such change could apply retroactively and could have     
adverse consequences to Nymox and its shareholders. This summary is necessarily 
general and does not attempt to summarize all aspects of the federal tax laws   
(and does not attempt to summarize any state or local laws) that may affect an  
investor's acquisition of an interest in Nymox. No ruling from the IRS will be  
requested and no assurance can be given that the IRS will agree with the tax    
consequences described in this summary.                                         

For purposes of this discussion, the term "U.S. Person" means (a) an individual 
who is a citizen of the United States or who is resident in the United States   
for United States federal income tax purposes, (b) a corporation or a           
partnership that is organized under the laws of the United States or any state  
thereof, (c) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal  
income taxation regardless of its source, or (d) a trust (i) that is subject to 
the supervision of a court within the United States and is subject to the       
control of one or more United States persons as described in section 7701(a)(30)
of the Code, or (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable       
Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person. The term "U.S.    
Holder" means a shareholder of Nymox who is a U.S. Person. The term "foreign    
corporation" means an entity that is classified as a corporation for U.S.       
federal income tax purposes and that is not organized under the laws of the     
United States or any state thereof.                                             

This summary does not discuss all United States federal income tax              
considerations that may be relevant to U.S. Holders in light of their particular
circumstances or to certain holders that may be subject to special treatment    
under United States federal income tax law (for example, insurance companies,   
tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, dealers in securities, persons
who hold shares as part of a straddle, hedging, constructive sale, or conversion
transaction, U.S. Holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, and 
U.S. Holders who acquired shares through exercise of employee stock options or  
otherwise as compensation for services). Furthermore, this summary does not     
address any aspects of state or local taxation.                                 

The tax consequences of an investment in Nymox are complex and based on tax     
provisions that are subject to change. Prospective investors are urged to       
consult with, and must depend upon, their own tax advisors with specific        
reference to their own tax situations as to the income and other tax            
consequences of an investment in Nymox.                                         

Dividends and gains on sale. Except as described below with respect to the      
"passive foreign investment company" rules, distributions by Nymox to a U.S.    
Holder will be treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of Nymox's     
current and accumulated earnings and profits. Such dividends will not be        
eligible for the dividend-received deduction generally allowed under the Code to
dividend recipients that are U.S. corporations. The amount of any distribution  
in excess of Nymox's current and accumulated earnings and profits will first be 
applied to reduce the U.S. Holder's tax basis in its Nymox common shares, and   
any amount in excess of tax basis will be treated as gain from the sale or      
exchange of the common shares. Except as described below with respect to the    
"passive

foreign investment company" rules, any gain recognized by a U.S. Holder on a    
sale or exchange of Nymox common shares (or on a distribution treated as a sale 
or exchange) generally will be treated as capital gain. Capital gains of        
corporations are taxable at the same rate as ordinary income. With respect to   
non-corporate taxpayers, the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short
term capital loss may be taxed at a substantially lower rate than is ordinary   
income. A capital gain or loss is long-term if the asset has been held for more 
than one year and short-term if held for one year or less. In addition, the     
distinction between capital gain or loss and ordinary income or loss is relevant
for purposes of limitations on the deductibility of capital losses.             

A U.S. Holder generally may claim a credit against its U.S. federal income tax  
liability for Canadian income tax withheld from dividends received on Nymox     
common shares. The amount of this credit is subject to several limitations under
the Code.                                                                       

Controlled foreign corporation rules. A foreign corporation generally is        
classified as a "controlled foreign corporation" (a "CFC") if more than 50% of  
the corporation's shares (by vote or value) are owned, directly or indirectly,  
by "10% U.S. Shareholders". For this purpose, a "10% U.S. Shareholder" is a U.S.
Person that owns, directly or indirectly, shares possessing 10% or more of the  
voting power in the foreign corporation. Nymox believes that it is not a CFC at 
the present time. If Nymox were a CFC, each 10% U.S. Shareholder that owns,     
directly or indirectly through foreign entities, an interest in Nymox generally 
would be required to include in its gross income for U.S. federal income tax    
purposes a pro-rata share of any "Subpart F" income earned by Nymox, whether or 
not such income is distributed by Nymox. Subpart F income generally includes    
interest, dividends, royalties, and gain on the sale of stock or securities.    

Foreign personal holding company rules. In general, a foreign corporation is a  
"foreign personal holding company" (a "FPHC") during a taxable year if (i) at   
any time during the taxable year, more than 50% of the shares (by vote or value)
of the corporation are owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer          
individuals who are U.S. Persons, and (ii) at least 50% of the gross income of  
the corporation for the taxable year consists of "foreign personal holding      
company income" (such as dividends, interest, royalties, and gains on the sale  
of stock or securities). Nymox believes that it is not a FPHC at the present    
time. If Nymox were a FPHC, each U.S. Person that owns, directly or indirectly  
through foreign entities, an interest in Nymox generally would be required to   
recognize, as a dividend, the U.S. Person's share of the undistributed annual   
income of Nymox.                                                                

Passive foreign investment company rules. In general, a foreign corporation is a
"passive foreign investment company" (a "PFIC") during a taxable year if 75% or 
more of its gross income for the taxable year constitutes "passive income" or if
50% or more of its assets (by average fair market value) held during the taxable
year produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. In general, any
U.S. Person that owns, directly or indirectly, an interest in a foreign         
corporation will be subject to an interest charge (in addition to regular U.S.  
federal income tax) upon the disposition by the U.S. Person of, or receipt by   
the U.S. Person of "excess distributions" with respect to, any shares of the    
foreign corporation if: (i) the foreign corporation is a PFIC during the taxable
year in which such income is realized by the U.S. Person; or (ii) the foreign   
corporation was a PFIC during any prior taxable year that is included in whole  
or in part in the U.S. Person's "holding period" (within the meaning of Section 
1223 of the Code) with respect to its interest in the shares of the foreign     
corporation. Furthermore, the U.S. Person's share of such gain or "excess       
distribution" will be taxable as ordinary

income. There exist several other adverse tax consequences that may apply to any
U.S. Person that owns, directly or indirectly, an interest in a PFIC.           

A U.S. Person that owns, directly or indirectly, an interest in a PFIC can elect
to treat such PFIC as a "qualified electing fund" (a "QEF") with respect to the 
U.S. Person. In general, the effect of a QEF election with respect to a PFIC is 
that, beginning with the first taxable year to which the election applies and in
all succeeding taxable years during which the foreign corporation is a PFIC, the
U.S. Person is required to include in its income its share of the ordinary      
earnings and net capital gains of the PFIC. The U.S. Person is not taxable with 
respect to any distribution by the PFIC from earnings that have been included   
previously in the U.S. Person's income under the QEF provisions. If the QEF     
election is made with respect to the first taxable year in which a U.S. Person  
owns, directly or indirectly, an interest in the particular PFIC, the adverse   
tax consequences described in the immediately preceding paragraph (including the
interest charge and the treatment of gains as ordinary income) would not apply  
to the U.S. Person's interest in that PFIC. In order to make a QEF election, a  
U.S. Person is required to provide to the IRS certain information furnished by  
the PFIC.                                                                       

Nymox believes that it has not been a PFIC during any taxable year ending on or 
before December 31, 2001. It is not possible to express an opinion as to whether
or not Nymox is or will be a PFIC during its current taxable year or future     
taxable years. Nymox intends to notify its U.S. Holders within 45 days after the
end of the taxable year for which Nymox believes it might be a PFIC. Nymox has  
further undertaken (i) to provide its U.S. Holders with timely and accurate     
information as to its status as a PFIC and the manner in which the QEF election 
can be made and (ii) to comply with all record-keeping, reporting and other     
requirements so that the U.S. Holders, at their option, may make a QEF election.

Each U.S. Person who owns, directly or indirectly, common shares of Nymox is    
urged to consult its own tax advisor with respect to the advantages and         
disadvantages of making a QEF election with respect to Nymox.                   

Backup withholding. Information reporting to the IRS may be required with       
respect to payments of dividends on the Nymox common shares to U.S. Holders, and
with respect to proceeds received by U.S. Holders on the sale of Nymox common   
shares. A U.S. Holder may be subject to backup withholding at a 30% rate with   
respect to dividends received with respect to Nymox common shares, or proceeds  
received on the sale of Nymox common shares through a broker, unless the U.S.   
Holder (i) demonstrates that it qualifies for an applicable exemption (such as  
the exemption for holders that are corporations), or (ii) provides a taxpayer   
identification number and complies with certain other requirements. Any amount  
withheld from payment to a U.S. Holder under the backup withholding rules       
generally will be allowed as credit against the U.S. Holder's U.S. federal      
income tax liability, if any, and may entitle the U.S. Holder to a refund,      
provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.                 

Canadian Federal Income Taxation                                                

The following is, as of the date of this prospectus, a summary of the principal 
Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to shareholders 
who receive a dividend from Nymox and who, at all relevant times, for purposes  
of the Income Tax Act (Canada) the ("Tax Act"), hold and will hold Nymox common 
shares as capital property and deal with Nymox at arm's length.

Nymox's common shares will generally constitute capital property to a holder    
unless the holder holds such shares in the course of carrying on a business or  
the holder has acquired such shares in a transaction or transactions considered 
to be an adventure in the nature of trade. This summary is based on the current 
provisions of the Tax Act, the regulations under that act, counsel's            
understanding of current administrative and assessing policies of the Canada    
Customs and Revenue Agency and all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act      
publicly announced or released by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance       
(Canada) before the date of this prospectus ("Tax Proposals").                  

The Tax Act contains certain provisions relating to securities held by certain  
financial institutions (the "Mark-to-Market Rules"). This summary does not take 
into account these Mark-to-Market Rules or any amendments to them contained in  
the Tax Proposals and taxpayers that are "financial institutions" for purposes  
of those rules should consult their own tax advisors.                           

This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax      
considerations and, except for the Tax Proposals, does not take into account or 
anticipate any changes in law, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial 
action, nor does it take into account tax legislation of any province, territory
or foreign jurisdiction. This summary is of a general nature only and is not    
intended to be, nor should it be construed as, legal or tax advice to any       
particular holder of Nymox common shares.                                       

Canadian Residents                                                              

The following summary is relevant to a holder of Nymox common shares who, for   
purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable tax treaty or convention, is resident
in Canada at all relevant times.                                                

Tax Treatment of Capital Gains and Capital Losses for Canadian Residents        
On a disposition or deemed disposition of a Nymox common share, the holder will 
realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount by which the       
proceeds of disposition for the Nymox common share exceed (or are less than) the
aggregate of any costs of disposition and the adjusted cost base to the holder  
of the Nymox common share immediately before the disposition.                   
Pursuant to the Tax Proposals and subject to certain transitional rules which   
apply in certain circumstances, a holder of Nymox common shares will be required
to include in income one-half of the amount of any capital gain (a "Taxable     
capital gain") and may deduct one-half of the amount of any capital loss (an    
"Allowable capital loss") against Taxable capital gains realized by the holder  
in the year of the disposition. Allowable capital losses in excess of Taxable   
capital gains may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding    
years or carried forward and deducted in any following year against taxable     
capital gains realized in such years to the extent and under the circumstances  
described in the Tax Act and the Tax Proposals.                                 

A Canadian-controlled private corporation will also be subject to a refundable  
tax of 6 2/3% on certain investment income, including taxable capital gains     
realized on the disposition of Nymox common shares, that will be refunded when  
the corporation pays taxable dividends (at a rate of C$1.00 for every C$3.00 of 
taxable dividend paid).                                                         

A capital loss realized by a holder of Nymox common shares that is a            
corporation, a partnership of which a corporation is a member or a trust of     
which a corporation is a beneficiary may be reduced by the amount of dividends  
received in certain circumstances. Capital gains realized by an individual may  
give rise to a liability for alternative minimum tax.

Tax Treatment of Dividends Received by Canadian Residents                       
In the case of a holder of Nymox common shares who is an individual, any        
dividends received on the common shares will be included in computing his income
and will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules normally      
applicable to taxable dividends paid by taxable Canadian corporations. A holder 
that is a corporation may be liable to pay refundable tax under Part IV of the  
Tax Act. However, a public corporation which is not controlled, whether because 
of a beneficial interest in one or more trusts or otherwise, by or for the      
benefit of an individual (other than a trust) or a related group of individuals 
(other than trusts) will not be liable to pay refundable tax under Part IV of   
the Tax Act.                                                                    

In the case of a holder of Nymox common shares that is a corporation, the amount
of any capital loss otherwise determined resulting from the disposition of a    
Nymox common share may be reduced by the amount of dividends previously received
or deemed to have been received thereon. Any such restriction will not occur    
where the corporate holder owned the Nymox common share for 365 days or longer  
and such holder (together with any persons with whom it did not deal at arm's   
length) did not own more than 5% of the shares of any class or series of Nymox  
at the time the relevant dividends were received or deemed to have been         
received. Analogous rules apply where a corporation is a member of a partnership
or a beneficiary of a trust, which owns Nymox common shares.                    

Shareholders Who Are Not Residents Of Canada                                    

The following summary is relevant to a holder of Nymox common shares, who, at   
all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable tax treaty or
convention, is a non-resident or is deemed to be a non-resident of Canada and   
does not use and is not deemed to use or hold Nymox common shares in the course 
of carrying on a business in Canada. Special rules, which are not discussed     
below, may apply to a non-resident that is an insurer which carries on business 
in Canada and elsewhere.                                                        

Dividends Paid To Non-Residents of Canada                                       
Under the Tax Act, dividends paid or credited to a non-resident are subject to  
withholding tax at the rate of 25% of the gross amount of the dividends. This   
withholding tax may be reduced or eliminated pursuant to the terms of an        
applicable tax treaty between Canada and the country of residence of the        
non-resident. For example, for persons who are resident in the United States for
purposes of the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, (the "Convention")  
the rate of withholding tax on dividends is reduced to 15% generally and 5% when
the United States resident is a company that beneficially owns at least 10% of  
the voting stock of the company paying the dividends.                           

Under the Convention, dividends paid to certain religious, scientific,          
charitable and other similar tax-exempt organizations and certain organizations 
that are resident in, and exempt from tax in, the United States are exempt from 
Canadian non-resident withholding tax. Provided that certain administrative     
procedures designed to establish with the Canadian tax authorities the right of 
such entities to benefit from this withholding tax exemption are complied with  
by the tax-exempt entities prior to the Distribution, Nymox would not be        
required to withhold such tax on such payment. Alternatively, the               
above-described tax-exempt entities may claim a refund of Canadian withholding  
tax otherwise withheld by Nymox on the distribution of dividends.

Tax Treatment of Capital Gains of Non-Residents of Canada                       
On a disposition or deemed disposition of a Nymox common share, a non-resident  
holder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount by     
which the proceeds of disposition for the Nymox common share exceed (or are less
than) the aggregate of any costs of disposition and the adjusted cost base to   
the non-resident holder of the Nymox common share immediately before the        
disposition.                                                                    

A non-resident of Canada is liable for Canadian income tax on a capital gain    
realized on the disposition of property only where that property constitutes    
"taxable Canadian property". Pursuant to the Tax Proposals and subject to       
certain transitional rules which apply in certain circumstances, one-half of any
capital gain from the disposition of taxable Canadian property is subject to    
Canadian tax.                                                                   

Under the Tax Act, shares of Nymox will not constitute taxable Canadian property
unless, at any time, in the five years immediately preceding the disposition,   
the non-resident holder, persons with whom the non-resident holder did not deal 
at arms length, or the non-resident holder together with all such persons owned 
(or had a right to acquire) 25% or more of the shares of any class of Nymox.    
Even in circumstances where shares of Nymox are taxable Canadian property to a  
non-resident holder, the non-resident holder may be entitled to relief from     
Canadian tax on any capital gain realized on the disposition thereof pursuant to
the terms of an applicable tax treaty between Canada and the country of         
residence of the non-resident. For example, the Convention provides that gains  
realized by a resident of the United States on the disposition or deemed        
disposition of shares of a company will generally not be subject to tax under   
the Tax Act, provided that the value of the shares is not derived principally   
from real property situated in Canada. Nymox believes that the value of its     
shares is not currently derived principally from real property situated in      
Canada and it does not expect this to change in the foreseeable future.         

Provided that the Nymox common shares remain listed on a prescribed stock       
exchange, which includes the Nasdaq SmallCap Market System, a non-resident      
holder who disposes of Nymox common shares will not be required to comply with  
the Canadian notification procedures generally applicable to dispositions of    
taxable Canadian property.                                                      

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK             
None.

Part II

Not applicable.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES                                                

  (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. In accordance with
Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"),     
within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report on Form 20-F, an         
evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of  
the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and   
President, and the Chief Financial Officer and Secretary-Treasurer, of the      
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls  
and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Exchange Act). Based upon
their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief         
Executive Officer and President, and the Chief Financial Officer and            
Secretary-Treasurer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were  
effective as of the date of such evaluation to ensure that material information 
relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, was made known
to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which
this Report on Form 20-F was being prepared.                                    

     (b) Changes in Internal Controls. There were not any significant changes in
the Company's internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect
these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any        
corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material         
weaknesses.                                                                     

Part III                                                                        

ITEM 17. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

a)   designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that  
  material information relating to the registrant, including its
         consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
        entities, particularly during the period in which this annual report
is being prepared;

equivalent function):                                                 

  a)   all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
     controls which could adversely affect the registrant's ability to
 record, process, summarize and report financial data and have
       identified for the registrant's auditors any material weaknesses in
internal controls; and                                      

    b)   any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
      employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal
controls; and                                               

6.   The registrant's other certifying officers and I have indicated in this    
 annual report whether or not there were significant changes in internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal

weaknesses.
