PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
The following summary highlights selected information from this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. This prospectus contains information regarding our businesses and detailed financial information. You should carefully read this entire prospectus, including the historical financial statements and related notes, before making an investment decision.
 
In this prospectus, “Opexa Therapeutics, Inc.,” the “company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to “Opexa Therapeutics, Inc., a Texas corporation, and its subsidiaries, except where otherwise indicated or required by context. On June 19, 2006 we changed our name from PharmaFrontiers Corp. to Opexa Therapeutics, Inc.
 
On June 15, 2006 we completed a 1-for-10 reverse split of our common stock. Except where specifically indicated all references to a number of shares herein or per share amounts reflect the split.
 
Our Business
 
We are a biopharmaceutical company developing autologous cellular therapies to treat several major illnesses, including multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. These therapies are based on our proprietary T-cell and adult stem cell technologies.
 
Our lead product, Tovaxin™, is a T-cell based therapeutic vaccine for MS licensed from the Baylor College of Medicine, which offers a unique and personalized approach to treating the disease by inducing an immune response against the autoimmune myelin peptide-reactive T-cells (MRTCs), which are believed to be responsible for the initiation of the disease process.
 
Tovaxin™ is currently in a Phase IIb clinical trial. Initial Phase I/II open-label human trials show that T-cell vaccination (TCV) appears to safely induce immune responses that deplete and regulate MRTCs. In two open-label Phase I/II clinical trials, the annualized relapse rates of patients were reduced by an average of approximately 90% compared to their prior history of relapses. Some patients also appear to experience an improvement of their Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale, a scoring method used to measure the disability of MS patients (EDSS). Improvements in EDSS are not frequently observed in patients following treatment with other currently licensed therapies. Although the data from our Phase I/II trials appears to be promising, the Phase IIb trial is being conducted to confirm these results. We believe that Tovaxin™ could be ready for commercialization as early as 2011.
 
We also hold exclusive worldwide license for the intellectual property rights and research results of an autologous T-cell vaccine for RA from the Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences (SIBS), Chinese Academy of Sciences of the People's Republic of China.
 
Our RA T-cell vaccination (TCV) technology is conceptually similar to Tovaxin™. RA is an autoimmune T-cell-mediated disease in which pathogenic T-cells trigger an inflammatory autoimmune response of the synovial joints of the wrists, shoulders, knees, ankles and feet which causes pain, stiffness, and swelling around the joints and erosion into cartilage and bone. The RA TCV technology allows the isolation of these pathogenic T-cells from synovial fluid drawn from a patient. These T-cells will be grown to therapeutic levels and attenuated by gamma irradiation in our laboratory. The attenuated T-cells will be injected subcutaneously into patients thereby inducing an immune response directed at the pathogenic T-cells in the patient’s body. This immune response regulates the level of pathogenic T-cells and potentially allows the reduction of joint swelling in RA patients. Human trials that have been conducted in China show minimal side-effects and promising efficacy measured as a reduction of joint swelling following the T-cell vaccination.

We also have an exclusive license from the University of Chicago, through its prime contractor relationship with Argonne National Laboratory, to a stem cell technology in which adult multipotent stem cells are derived from monocytes (white blood cells) obtained from the patient’s own blood. We are initially pursuing indications in diabetes mellitus with our stem cell therapy and are conducting preclinical animal studies.

Our stem cell technology isolates novel multipotent stem cells derived from peripheral blood monocytes. In vitro experiments with monocyte-derived stem cells (MDSC) have shown their capacity to differentiate into a wide variety of cel l types including pancreatic β cells. We have demonstrated that these pancreatic islets clusters derived from MDSCs are composed of three pancreatic cells types ( a, b and d ). These islet clusters are responsive to glucose and mimics the normal pulsatile pattern observed in human islets.   The importance of these stem cells is the ability to easily isolate them from an individual’s circulating monocytes, expand them and administer them back into the same patient. This autologous approach provides a method to overcome any rejection issues and the need for immunosuppressant drugs which are often associated with current islet cell transplantations. This technology may lead to the formation of an unlimited source of pancreatic islet cells suitable for an autologous cell therapy for the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

RISK FACTORS
 
The shares offered hereby have not been approved or disapproved by the SEC or the securities regulatory authority of any state, nor has any such regulatory body reviewed this prospectus for accuracy or completeness. The shares offered hereby are speculative, involve an unusually high degree of risk and should only be purchased by those who can afford to lose their entire investment. Therefore, prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors before purchasing the shares offered hereby.
 
Risks Related to Our Business
 
The following factors affect our business and the industry in which we operate. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known or which we currently consider immaterial may also have an adverse effect on our business. If any of the matters discussed in the following risk factors were to occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or prospects could be materially adversely affected.
 
Our business is at an early stage of development.
 
Our business is at an early stage of development. We do not have any products in late-stage clinical trials or on the market. We are still in the early stages of identifying and conducting research on potential products. Only one of our products has progressed to the stage of being studied in human clinical trials in the U.S. Our potential products will require significant research and development and preclinical and clinical testing prior to regulatory approval in the United States and other countries. We may not be able to develop any products, to obtain regulatory approvals, to enter clinical trials for any of our product candidates, or to commercialize any products. Our product candidates may prove to have undesirable and unintended side effects or other characteristics adversely affecting their safety, efficacy or cost-effectiveness that could prevent or limit their use. Any product using any of our technology may fail to provide the intended therapeutic benefits, or achieve therapeutic benefits equal to or better than the standard of treatment at the time of testing or production.

2

 
We have a history of operating losses and do not expect to be profitable in the near future.
 
We have not generated any profits since our entry into the biotechnology business, have no source of revenues, and have incurred significant operating losses. We expect to incur additional operating losses for the foreseeable future and, as we increase our research and development activities, we expect our operating losses to increase significantly. We do not have any sources of revenues and may not have any in the foreseeable future.
 
We will need additional capital to conduct our operations and develop our products and our ability to obtain the necessary funding is uncertain.
 
We need to obtain significant additional capital resources from sources including equity and/or debt financings, license arrangements, grants and/or collaborative research arrangements in order to develop products and continue our business. As of December 31, 2006, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $15 million. Our current burn rate is approximately $1,000,000 per month excluding capital expenditures. We will need to raise additional capital to fund our working capital needs beyond first quarter 2008. We must rely upon best efforts third-party debt or equity funding and we can provide no assurance that we will be successful in any funding effort. The failure to raise such funds will necessitate the curtailment of operations and impact the completion of the clinical trials.
 
The timing and degree of any future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
 
 	·	the accuracy of the assumptions underlying our estimates for capital needs in 2007 and beyond;	
 
 	·	scientific progress in our research and development programs;	
 
 	·	the magnitude and scope of our research and development programs;	
 
 	·	our ability to establish, enforce and maintain strategic arrangements for research, development, clinical testing, manufacturing and marketing;	
 
 	·	our progress with preclinical development and clinical trials;	
 
 	·	the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals;	
 
 	·	the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing patent claims; and	
 
 	·	the number and type of product candidates that we pursue.	
 
We do not have any committed sources of capital, although we have issued and outstanding warrants that, if exercised, would result in an equity capital raising transaction. Additional financing through strategic collaborations, public or private equity financings, capital lease transactions or other financing sources may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Additional equity financings could result in significant dilution to our stockholders. Further, if additional funds are obtained through arrangements with collaborative partners, these arrangements may require us to relinquish rights to some of our technologies, product candidates or products that we would otherwise seek to develop and commercialize ourselves. If sufficient capital is not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our programs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or business prospects.

Approximately 60% of our total assets are comprised of intangible assets that are subject to review on a periodic basis to determine whether an impairment on these assets is required. An impairment would not only greatly diminish our assets, but would also require us to record a significant non-cash expense charge.

We are required under generally accepted accounting principles to review our intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. At December 31, 2006, our net intangible assets, consisting of the University of Chicago license, acquired intangible assets from the Opexa acquisition that is an inseparable group of patents and licenses that can’t function independently and the RA license acquired from the Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences of the People's Republic of China were approximately $24.7 million. If management determines that impairment exists, we will be required to record a significant charge to expense in our financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our intangibles is determined. An impairment analysis, as defined in FAS 142, conducted by an independent consultant determined that there is no impairment of Opexa’s intangible assets for 2006.

Our financial statements include substantial non-operating gains or losses resulting from required quarterly revaluation under GAAP of our outstanding derivative instruments.

Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States require that we report the value of certain derivative instruments we have issued as current liabilities on our balance sheet and report changes in the value of these derivatives as non-operating gains or losses on our statement of operations. The value of the derivatives is required to be recalculated (and resulting non-operating gains or losses reflected in our statement of operations and resulting adjustments to the associated liability amounts reflected on our balance sheet) on a quarterly basis, and is based on the market value of our common stock. Due to the nature of the required calculations and the large number of shares of our common stock involved in such calculations, changes in our common stock price may result in significant changes in the value of the derivatives and resulting gains and losses on our statement of operations.

Clinical trials are subject to extensive regulatory requirements, very expensive, time-consuming and difficult to design and implement. Our products may fail to achieve necessary safety and efficacy endpoints during clinical trials.
 
Human clinical trials are very expensive and difficult to design and implement, in part because they are subject to rigorous regulatory requirements. The clinical trial process is also time consuming. We estimate that clinical trials of our product candidates will take at least several years to complete. Furthermore, failure can occur at any stage of the trials, and we could encounter problems that cause us to abandon or repeat clinical trials. The commencement and completion of clinical trials may be delayed by several factors, including: 
 
 	·	unforeseen safety issues;	
 
 	·	determination of dosing issues;	
 
 	·	lack of effectiveness during clinical trials;	

4

 
 	·	slower than expected rates of patient recruitment;	
 
 	·	inability to monitor patients adequately during or after treatment; and	
 
 	·	inability or unwillingness of medical investigators to follow our clinical protocols.	
 
In addition, we or the FDA may suspend our clinical trials at any time if it appears that we are exposing participants to unacceptable health risks or if the FDA finds deficiencies in our IND submissions or the conduct of these trials.
 
We are dependent upon our management team and a small number of employees.
 
Our business strategy is dependent upon the skills and knowledge of our management team. We believe that the special knowledge of these individuals gives us a competitive advantage. If any critical employee leaves, we may be unable on a timely basis to hire suitable replacements to effectively operate our business. We also operate with a very small number of employees and thus have little or no backup capability for their activities. The loss of the services of any member of our management team or the loss of a number of other employees could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
We are dependent on contract research organizations and other contractors for clinical testing and for certain research and development activities, thus the timing and adequacy of our clinical trials and such research activities are, to a certain extent, beyond our control.
 
The nature of clinical trials and our business strategy requires us to rely on contract research organizations, independent clinical investigators and other third party service providers to assist us with clinical testing and certain research and development activities. As a result, our success is dependent upon the success of these outside parties in performing their responsibilities. Although we believe our contractors are economically motivated to perform on their contractual obligations, we cannot directly control the adequacy and timeliness of the resources and expertise applied to these activities by our contractors. If our contractors do not perform their activities in an adequate or timely manner, the development and commercialization of our drug candidates could be delayed.
 
Our current research and manufacturing facility is not large enough to manufacture future stem cell and T-cell therapies.
 
We conduct our research and development in a 10,200 square foot facility in The Woodlands, Texas, which includes an approximately 800 square foot suite of three rooms for the manufacture of stem cell and T-cell therapies through Phase III trials. Our current facility is not large enough to conduct commercial-scale manufacturing operations. We will need to expand further our manufacturing staff and facility, obtain a new facility or contract with corporate collaborators or other third parties to assist with future drug production.
 
In the event that we decide to establish a commercial-scale manufacturing facility, we will require substantial additional funds and will be required to hire and train significant numbers of employees and comply with applicable regulations, which are extensive. We do not have funds available for building a manufacturing facility, and we may not be able to build a manufacturing facility that both meets regulatory requirements and is sufficient for our commercial-scale manufacturing.
 
We may arrange with third parties for the manufacture of our future products. However, our third-party sourcing strategy may not result in a cost-effective means for manufacturing our future products. If we employ third-party manufacturers, we will not control many aspects of the manufacturing process, including compliance by these third parties with the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices and other regulatory requirements. We further may not be able to obtain adequate supplies from third-party manufacturers in a timely fashion for development or commercialization purposes, and commercial quantities of products may not be available from contract manufacturers at acceptable costs.

5

 
Patents obtained by other persons may result in infringement claims against us that are costly to defend and which may limit our ability to use the disputed technologies and prevent us from pursuing research and development or commercialization of potential products.
 
A number of pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other companies, universities and research institutions have filed patent applications or have been issued patents relating to cell therapy, stem cells, T-cells, and other technologies potentially relevant to or required by our expected products. We cannot predict which, if any, of such applications will issue as patents or the claims that might be allowed. We are aware that a number of companies have filed applications relating to stem cells. We are also aware of a number of patent applications and patents claiming use of stem cells and other modified cells to treat disease, disorder or injury.
 
If third party patents or patent applications contain claims infringed by either our licensed technology or other technology required to make and use our potential products and such claims are ultimately determined to be valid, there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost, if at all, or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we are unable to obtain such licenses at a reasonable cost, we may not be able to develop some products commercially. There can be no assurance that we will not be obliged to defend ourselves in court against allegations of infringement of third party patents. Patent litigation is very expensive and could consume substantial resources and create significant uncertainties. An adverse outcome in such a suit could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require disputed rights to be licensed from third parties, or require us to cease using such technology.
 
If we are unable to obtain future patents and other proprietary rights our operations will be significantly harmed.
 
Our ability to compete effectively is dependent in part upon obtaining patent protection relating to our technologies. The patent positions of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, including ours, are uncertain and involve complex and evolving legal and factual questions. The coverage sought in a patent application can be denied or significantly reduced before or after the patent is issued. Consequently, we do not know whether the patent applications for our technology will result in the issuance of patents, or if any future patents will provide significant protection or commercial advantage or will be circumvented by others. Since patent applications are secret until the applications are published (usually eighteen months after the earliest effective filing date), and since publication of discoveries in the scientific or patent literature often lags behind actual discoveries, we cannot be certain that the inventors of our licensed patents were the first to make the inventions covered by the patent applications or that the licensed patent applications were the first to be filed for such inventions. There can be no assurance that patents will issue from the patent applications or, if issued, that such patents will be of commercial benefit to us, afford us adequate protection from competing products, or not be challenged or declared invalid.
 
Our competition includes fully integrated biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies that have significant advantages over us.
 
The markets for therapeutic stem cell products, multiple sclerosis products, and rheumatoid arthritis products are highly competitive. We expect that our most significant competitors are fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies. These companies are developing stem cell-based products and they have significantly greater capital resources and expertise in research and development, manufacturing, testing, obtaining regulatory approvals, and marketing than we currently do. Many of these potential competitors are further along in the process of product development and also operate large, company-funded research and development programs. As a result, our competitors may develop more competitive or affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization than we are able to achieve. Competitive products may render any products or product candidates that we develop obsolete.

6

 
If we fail to meet our obligations under our license agreements, we may lose our rights to key technologies on which our business depends.
 
Our business depends on three licenses from third parties. These third party license agreements impose obligations on us, such as payment obligations and obligations to diligently pursue development of commercial products under the licensed patents. If a licensor believes that we have failed to meet our obligations under a license agreement, the licensor could seek to limit or terminate our license rights, which could lead to costly and time-consuming litigation and, potentially, a loss of the licensed rights. During the period of any such litigation, our ability to carry out the development and commercialization of potential products could be significantly and negatively affected. If our license rights were restricted or ultimately lost, our ability to continue our business based on the affected technology platform could be severely adversely affected.
 
Restrictive and extensive government regulation could slow or hinder our production of a cellular product.
 
The research and development of stem cell therapies is subject to and restricted by extensive regulation by governmental authorities in the United States and other countries. The process of obtaining U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and other necessary regulatory approvals is lengthy, expensive and uncertain. We may fail to obtain the necessary approvals to continue our research and development, which would hinder our ability to manufacture or market any future product.
 
To be successful, our product candidates must be accepted by the health care community, which can be very slow to adopt or unreceptive to new technologies and products.
 
Our product candidates, if approved for marketing, may not achieve market acceptance since hospitals, physicians, patients or the medical community in general may decide to not accept and utilize these products. The product candidates that we are attempting to develop represent substantial departures from established treatment methods and will compete with a number of more conventional drugs and therapies manufactured and marketed by major pharmaceutical companies. The degree of market acceptance of any of our developed products will depend on a number of factors, including:
 
 	·	our establishment and demonstration to the medical community of the clinical efficacy and safety of our product candidates;	
 
 	·	our ability to create products that are superior to alternatives currently on the market;	
 
 	·	our ability to establish in the medical community the potential advantage of our treatments over alternative treatment methods; and	
 
 	·	reimbursement policies of government and third-party payers.	
 
If the health care community does not accept our products for any of the foregoing reasons, or for any other reason, our business would be materially harmed.
 
Risks Related to Our Common Stock

7

 
There is currently a limited market for our common stock, and any trading market that exists in our common stock may be highly illiquid and may not reflect the underlying value of the Company’s net assets or business prospects.
 
Although our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Market, there is currently a limited market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that an improved market will ever develop. Investors are cautioned not to rely on the possibility that an active trading market may develop.
 
As our share price is volatile, we may be or become the target of securities litigation, which is costly and time-consuming to defend.
 
In the past, following periods of market volatility in the price of a company’s securities or the reporting of unfavorable news, security holders have often instituted class action litigation. If the market value of our common stock experiences adverse fluctuations and we become involved in this type of litigation, regardless of the outcome, we could incur substantial legal costs and our management’s attention could be diverted from the operation of our business, causing our business to suffer.
 
Our "blank check" preferred stock could be issued to prevent a business combination not desired by management or our current majority shareholders.
 
Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined by our board of directors without shareholder approval. Our preferred stock could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying, or preventing a change in our control and as a method of preventing shareholders from receiving a premium for their shares in connection with a change of control.
 
Future sales of our common stock in the public market could lower our stock price.
 
We may sell additional shares of common stock in subsequent public or private offerings. We may also issue additional shares of common stock to finance future acquisitions. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our common stock or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of shares of our common stock will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock (including shares issued in connection with an acquisition), or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.
 
We presently do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock.
 
We currently anticipate that no cash dividends will be paid on the common stock in the foreseeable future. While our dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, it is anticipated that all earnings, if any, will be retained to finance the future expansion of the our business.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors”, “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” or in other parts of this prospectus. We undertake no obligation to update any information in our forward-looking statements except as required by law.
 
Overview
 
We are a development-stage company and have a limited operating history. Our predecessor company for financial reporting purposes was formed on January 22, 2003 to acquire rights to our adult stem cell technology. In November 2004 we acquired Opexa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its multiple sclerosis treatment technology. We are still developing all of our technology, and to date, we have not generated any revenues from our operations. As we continue to execute our operations plan, we expect our development and operating expenses to increase.
 
Research and development. We have made and expect to continue to make substantial investments in research and development in order to develop and market our technology. Research and development costs consist primarily of general and administrative and operating expenses related to research and development activities. We expense research and development costs as incurred. Property, plant and equipment for research and development that has an alternative future use is capitalized and the related depreciation is expensed as research and development costs. We expect our research and development expense to increase as we continue to invest in the development of our technology.

11

 
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, stock compensation expenses, office expense, professional services fees, and other corporate overhead costs. We anticipate increases in general and administrative expenses as we continue to develop and prepare for commercialization of our technology
 
Results of Operations
 
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 200 6 with the Year Ended December 31, 2005
 
Net Sales. We recorded no sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
 
General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses during the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, was $5,461,047 as compared to $6,259,075 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in expenses is due to a combination of factors including a decrease in stock compensation expenses, professional service fees and overhead expenses in 2006. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, stock compensation expense, office expense, professional services fees, and other corporate overhead costs. We anticipate increases in general and administrative expenses as we continue to develop and prepare for commercialization of our technology.
 
Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense was $7,612,932 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $4,183,356 the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. The increase in expenses was primarily due to the costs of the Phase I/II and Phase IIb clinical trials for Tovaxin™ and research and development in support of pre-clinical diabetes stem cell therapies. We have made and expect to continue to make substantial investments in research and development in order to develop and market our technology. We expense research and development costs as incurred. Property, plant and equipment for research and development that has an alternative future use is capitalized and the related depreciation is expensed as research and development costs. We expect our research and d evelopment expense to increase as we continue to invest in the development of our technology.
 
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $984 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 compared to $7,323,851 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. Interest expense during 2005 was due to notes payable that were outstanding during the second quarter of 2005 which were subsequently converted into equity in June 2005, resulting in acceleration of the amortization of the discount related to the notes.
 
Interest Income.   Interest income was $688,299 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 compared to $81,930 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. The increase was due to the investment of the cash proceeds from a 2006 equity financing in short term and cash equivalent investments.
 
Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments Liabilities, net. We recognized a gain on derivative instruments of $104,978 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 compared to $3,896,841 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. The decrease is a result of the net unrealized (non-cash) change in the fair value of our derivative instrument liabilities.
 
Net Loss. We had net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006, of $14,056,407 or ($2.61) per share (basic and diluted), compared with a net loss of $15,517,356 or ($9.90) per share (basic and diluted), for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources  
 
Historically, we have financed our operations primarily from the sale of its debt and equity securities.  As of December 31, 2006, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $15 million.
 
We used approximately $11.0 million of cash for operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to approximately $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in use of cash is primarily due to an increase in research and development expenditures related to the clinical trials for our Tovaxin therapy for MS and the purchase of marketable securities.
 
Our capital expenditures were approximately $0.6 million in 2006 and consisted primarily of laboratory equipment and leasehold improvements related to the construction of manufacturing facilities.
 
Our financing activities generated approximately $21.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to approximately $8.2 million for the same year ended December 31, of 2005. In both periods, the cash generated from financing activities resulted from the sale of Common Stock in equity financings.
 
Our current burn rate is approximately $1,000,000 per month excluding capital expenditures.  We will need to raise additional capital to fund our working capital needs beyond the first quarter of 2008. We must rely upon best efforts third-party debt or equity funding and we can provide no assurance that we will be successful in any funding effort. The failure to raise such funds will necessitate the curtailment of operations and impact the completion of the clinical trials.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of December 31, 2006, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

13

 
Reverse Acquisition. We treated the merger of PharmaFrontiers Corp. into Sportan as a reverse acquisition. Pursuant to the guidance in Appendix B of SEC Accounting Disclosure Rules and Practices Official Text, the “merger of a private operating company into a non-operating public shell corporation with nominal net assets typically results in the owners and management of the private company having actual or effective operating control of the combined company after the transaction, with the shareholders of the former public shell continuing only as passive investors. These transactions are considered by the staff to be capital transactions in substance, rather than business combinations. That is, the transaction is equivalent to the issuance of stock by the private company for the net monetary assets of the shell corporation, accompanied by a recapitalization.” Accordingly, the reverse acquisition has been accounted for as a recapitalization. For accounting purposes, the original PharmaFrontiers Corp. is considered the acquirer in the reverse acquisition. The historical financial statements are those of the original PharmaFrontiers Corp. Earnings per share for periods prior to the merger are restated to reflect the number of equivalent shares received by the acquiring company.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We review long-lived assets and certain identifiable assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, further impairment analysis is performed. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of assets.
 
Stock-Based Compensation.     On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”) which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee service. We utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock based compensation at the date of grant, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Further, as required under SFAS 123R, we now estimate forfeitures for options granted, which are not expected to vest. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fair value of our share-based compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fair value, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stock-based payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances.
 
We estimated volatility by considering historical stock volatility. As allowed by Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, Share-Based Payment, we have opted to use the simplified method for estimating expected term equal to the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual term.

Research and Development.   The costs of materials and equipment or facilities that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities and that have alternative future uses are capitalized as tangible assets when acquired or constructed. The cost of such materials consumed in research and development activities and the depreciation of such equipment or facilities used in those activities are research and development costs. However, the costs of materials, equipment, or facilities acquired or constructed for research and development activities that have no alternative future uses are considered research and development costs and are expensed at the time the costs are incurred.

14

 
Accounting for Derivative Instruments. Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. These derivatives are separately valued and accounted for on our balance sheet. Fair values for securities traded in the open market and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using market based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates.
 
The pricing model we use for determining fair values of our derivatives is the Black Scholes Pricing Model. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates, exchange rates and stock price volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management's judgment and may impact net income.
 
In September 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock," ("EITF 00-19") which requires freestanding contracts that are settled in a company's own stock, including common stock warrants, to be designated as an equity instrument, asset or a liability. Under the provisions of EITF 00-19, a contract designated as an asset or a liability must be carried at fair value on a company's balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in the company's results of operations. A contract designated as an equity instrument must be included within equity, and no fair value adjustments are required. In accordance with EITF 00-19, in June 2006, we determined that certain outstanding warrants to purchase our common stock should be separately accounted for as liabilities. We had not classified these derivative liabilities as such in our historical financial statements. In order to reflect these changes, we restated our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 to record the fair value of these warrants on our balance sheet and record unrealized changes in the values of these derivatives in our consolidated statement of operations as “Gain (loss) on derivative liabilities.”
 
We have evaluated the provisions of the registration rights agreement that require us to pay registration delay payments in combination with the financial instrument and concluded that the combined instrument meets the definition of a derivative under SFAS 133.
 
In December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements ( EITF 00-19-2). EITF 00-19-2 addresses an issuer’s accounting for registration payment arrangements. It specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The guidance in EITF 00-19-2 amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, and FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, to include scope exceptions for registration payment arrangements. EITF 00-19-2 also requires additional disclosure regarding the nature of any registration payment arrangements, alternative settlement methods, the maximum potential amount of consideration and the current carrying amount of the liability, if any. This EITF is effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the financial instruments subject to those arrangements that are entered into or modified subsequent to the date of issue of this EITF. For registration payment arrangements and financial instruments subject to those arrangements that were entered into prior to the issuance of this EITF, this is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The impact of implementing EITF 00-19-2 in the fiscal year 2007 will result in a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle with a credit to beginning retained earnings of $6,656,677 and a reversal of the same amount to the derivative liability account.

OUR BUSINESS
 
Overview
 
We are a biopharmaceutical company developing autologous cellular therapies to treat several major illnesses, including multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. These therapies are based on our proprietary T-cell and adult stem cell technologies.
 
T-Cell Therapy
 
We have the exclusive worldwide license from Baylor College of Medicine to an individualized T-cell therapeutic vaccine, Tovaxin™, which is in U.S. FDA Phase IIb human clinical trials to evaluate its safety and effectiveness in treating MS.
 
Tovaxin™ consists of attenuated patient-specific MRTCs against peptides from either myelin basic protein [MBP], proteolipid protein [PLP], myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein [MOG]) peptides or combinations thereof. Patient-specific MRTCs are expanded in culture with specific peptides identified by our proprietary test of the patient’s peripheral blood. MS is the result of a person’s own T-cells attacking the myelin sheath that coats the nerve cells of the central nervous system (CNS). Our unique T-cell technology takes these autoreactive T-cells from the patient and expands them ex vivo (in a cell-culture environment outside the body), attenuates them by gamma irradiation, and then returns them to the patient as a subcutaneous injection. Although further testing is necessary, results from our initial human trials appear to indicate that these attenuated T-cells cause an immune response directed at the autoreactive T-cells in the patient’s body, stimulating a reduction in the level of harmful T-cells.
 
We believe that our initial human trials show that Tovaxin ™ safely induces the depletion and regulation of MRTCs, possibly stabilizing the disease, reducing the annualized relapse rate, and potentially improving the disability scores of patients. In November 2006, we enrolled the first patient in a double blind, placebo controlled, 150 patient Phase IIb clinical trial. We expect to complete enrollment in mid 2007.
 
Our Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) T-cell vaccination (TCV) technology is conceptually similar to Tovaxin™. RA is an autoimmune T-cell-mediated disease in which pathogenic T-cells trigger an inflammatory autoimmune response of the synovial joints of the wrists, shoulders, knees, ankles and feet which causes pain, stiffness, and swelling around the joints and erosion into cartilage and bone. Our RA TCV technology allows the isolation of these pathogenic T-cells from synovial fluid drawn from a patient. We will expand and attenuate these T-cells in our laboratory. The attenuated T-cells will be injected subcutaneously into patients with the goal of inducing an immune response directed at the Pathogenic T-cells in the patient’s body. We believe this immune response could reduce the level of pathogenic T-cells and potentially allow the reduction of joint swelling in RA patients.

Stem Cell Therapy

We have developed a proprietary adult stem cell technology to produce novel monocyte-derived stem cells (MDSC) from blood. These MDSC can be derived from a patient’s monocytes, expanded ex vivo, and then administered to the same patient. We believe that because this is an autologous therapy, there should be no rejection issues as self-derived MDSC pose no immunological problems. Normally, allogenic cells are deleted by host immune responses and require the use of anti-rejection drugs.

16

 
Our novel multi-potent stem cell is derived from peripheral blood monocytes which when cultured under defined conditions are able to further differentiate into several cellular lineages. Molecular biology and immunohistochemical studies have shown that these MDSCs have specific markers that distinguish them from other stem cells. In addition these studies have also shown a time-dependence for the expression of these specific gene products during the growth and differentiation of MDSCs. In vitro experiments with MDSCs have shown their capacity to differentiate towards hematopoietic, epithelial, endothelial, endocrine and neuronal cells. Our main focus is the further development of this monocyte-derived stem cell (MDCS) technology as a novel platform for the in vitro generation of highly specialized cells for potential application in autologous cell therapy for patients with diseases such diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease.  
 
Other Opportunities
 
We intend to conduct basic research to determine the potential use of stem cells and differentiated cells in other indications, such as macular degeneration, stroke, myocardial infarction, wound healing and Parkinson’s disease. We intend to partner or sublicense some of these indications if they are not pursued for internal development. For those indications where we believe we can participate commercially, we desire to partner in key commercial markets outside of the United States.
 
The Company’s Products and Services
 
Our T-cell Platform
 
Multiple Sclerosis - Background
 
In the United States, approximately 400,000 people suffer from multiple sclerosis, a chronic progressive autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that is caused by myelin autoreactive T-cells progressively eroding the myelin that surrounds and insulates nerve fibers of the brain and spinal cord resulting in varying amounts of disability. Globally, there are approximately 2.5 million MS patients representing a drug market believed to be approximately $5 billion in 2005. The US markets accounted for slightly more than 50 percent of global MS sales in 2005, approximately $2.5 billion. MS remains a challenging autoimmune disease to study because the pathophysiologic mechanisms are diverse, and the chronic, unpredictable course of the disease makes it difficult to determine whether the favorable effects of short-term treatment will be sustained. Therapies that can safely prevent or stop the progression of disease and allow reversal of the neurological damage and disability caused by the disease represent the greatest unmet need in MS.
 
In recent years, the understanding of MS pathogenesis has evolved to comprise an initial, T-cell-mediated inflammatory activity followed by selective demyelination (erosion of the myelin coating of the nerve fibers) and then neurodegeneration. The discovery of disease-relevant immune responses has accelerated the development of targeted therapeutic products for the treatment of the early stages of MS. Healthy individuals have been found to have autoreactive T-cells, which recognize a variety of self-antigens (e.g., myelin basic protein [MBP], proteolipid protein [PLP], and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein [MOG]) as part of the normal T-cell repertoire and circulate naturally in the periphery without causing an autoimmune disease.

17

 
Some subjects unfortunately who have the appropriate genetic background have increased susceptibility for the in vivo activation and clonal expansion of myelin autoreactive T-cells. These myelin autoreactive T-cells may remain dormant, but at some point they are activated in the periphery, possibly by molecular mimicry (i.e., recognition of epitopes that are common to autoantigens and microbial antigens as exogenous triggers), thus enabling them to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and infiltrate the healthy tissue of the brain and spinal cord. The cascade of pathogenic events leads to demyelination of axons, which causes nerve impulse transmissions to diffuse into the tissue.
 
Current Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis
 
Current MS disease modifying drugs on the market are mostly palliative and generally work through a mechanism of immunomodulation or immunosuppression. These therapies for MS are dominated by three forms of interferon that require frequent subcutaneous or intramuscular injections (Avonex, Betaseron and Rebif). Copaxone is an immunomodulator composed of a random copolymer of amino acids that is administered daily. Novantrone (mitoxanthrone) is an immunosuppressive drug that can only be given four times per year with a life time limit of 8 to 12 doses. All of the current therapies only slow the progression of MS and they have significant patient compliance challenges because of the dosing schedule, limited decrease in relapse rate, side effects profile (e.g., the interferon formulations produce severe flu-like symptoms, injection site reactions, infection and neutralizing antibodies (ranging from 5% to 45%) are developed that limits the efficacy of treatment; Copaxone causes significant injection site reactions; while Novantrone causes infections, bone marrow suppression, nausea, hair thinning, bladder infections, and mouth sores). These drugs must be administered daily to weekly. Tysabri®, a selective adhesion molecule inhibitor (an alpha 4 integrin antagonist), represents another class of MS drugs which works by preventing immune system cells (all leukocytes carrying the alpha 4 integrin glycoprotein on their surface) from crossing the BBB and move into the CNS. Tysabri® requires a once per month infusion and has recently been reintroduced to the market after being originally withdrawn in 2005 based on safety concerns over several patient deaths due to virally mediated brain inflammation - a condition called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML).
 
Tovaxin™ for Multiple Sclerosis
 
We believe that Tovaxin™ works selectively on the myelin autoreactive T-cells by harnessing the body’s natural immune defense system and feedback mechanisms to deplete these T-cells and induce favorable immune regulatory responses by rebalancing the immune system. Tovaxin™ is manufactured by taking the MRTCs from the blood, expanding them to a therapeutic dose ex-vivo, and attenuating them with gamma irradiation to prevent DNA replication. These attenuated MRTCs are then injected subcutaneously into the body in large quantities. The body recognizes specific T-cell receptor molecules of these MRTCs as foreign and mounts an immune response reaction against them, not only destroying the injected attenuated MRTCs, but also the circulating, myelin autoreactive T-cells carrying the peptide-specific T-cell receptor molecules. In addition, T-cell activation molecules on the surface of the activated MRTCs used as vaccine induce favorable immune regulatory responses, which promote anti-inflammatory responses. Because the therapy uses an individual’s own cells, the only directly identifiable side effect is injection site reaction in a small percentage of the patients. These reactions clear within 24 hours.
 
We believe that this technology platform will have application in other T-cell mediated diseases such as Crohn’s disease, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and Type 1diabetes.
 
Tovaxin™ Intellectual Property
 
The technology is based on discoveries made by Dr. Jingwu Zang of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. We have an exclusive, worldwide license from the Baylor College of Medicine to develop and commercialize three technology areas for MS, namely T-cell vaccination, peptides, and diagnostics. Under the License Agreement with the Baylor College of Medicine, we have rights to a total of 11 patents (2 U.S. and 9 foreign) and 80 patent applications (6 U.S. and 74 foreign).

18

 
Tovaxin™ Manufacturing
 
We manufacture our TCV therapy in our own Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The TCV technology is similar to that of traditional microbial vaccine technology, where the pathogen (or the attenuated derivative) is used to derive the protective antigens necessary to induce protective immune responses. In preparing a TCV therapy, the myelin autoreactive T-cells causing the disease are taken from the blood, specifically identified, and expanded ex vivo by incubating these T-cells with selected peptides of MBP, PLP, and MOG in the presence of antigen-presenting cells and growth factors. Myelin-peptide reactive T-cells are grown to therapeutic levels and cryopreserved. Prior to use, the MRTCs are expanded, formulated, and attenuated (by irradiation) to render them incompetent to replicate but viable for therapy. These attenuated T-cells are administered in a defined schedule of subcutaneous injections. We expect that a single draw of a 500 ml bag of blood is sufficient to provide a full year’s therapeutic regimen of Tovaxin™.
 
Clinical Development of Tovaxin™
 
Tovaxin™ is currently in a Phase IIb clinical trial. Patients treated in our Phase I/II open-label studies with trivalent (MBP, MOG, and PLP) formulations have experienced minimal side effects, an approximate 90% average reduction in annualized relapse rate and improvements in EDSS scores.
 
Tovaxin™ Phase IIb Clinical Trial
 
The Phase IIb trial, entitled “A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Subcutaneous Tovaxin™ in Subjects with Clinically Isolated Syndrome or Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis”, is a multi-site double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled 150 (100 treated, 50 placebo) patient trial. The primary endpoint will be lesion evaluation (the total number of gadolinium-enhancing lesions) via MRI with a secondary endpoint being annual relapse rate. This trial is designed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of Tovaxin™. We enrolled our first patient in November 2006 and expects to complete enrollment in mid 2007.
 
Our Stem Cell Platform

Stem Cells - Background
 
Stem cells are undifferentiated primary cells that have the potential to become any tissue or organ of the body. They hold therapeutic promise for the development of effective treatments and possibly cure for various diseases. The current stem cell research efforts have been divided between embryonic and tissue specific adult stem cells as potential therapeutic progenitor cells. Recent experiments with Embryonic stem (ES) cells h ave demonstrated that these highly proliferative, pluripotent cells can differentiate into pancreatic-like β-cells. The major problem with ES cells is their pluripotency and risk that these cells, once transplanted, could form tumors. Given that, adult t issue specific stem cells have become attractive as a potential cell therapeutic. Adult tissue specific stem cells have advantages over ES cells; first, these cells can be isolated from a more manageable source such as bone marrow or other tissues; second, they proliferate in a controlled fashion and without the likelihood of tumorogenicity, and third, they can be used in an autologous setting and avoid the potential for rejection which exists for allogenic use of stem cells.

19

 
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC’s), present in the bone marrow and precursors to all blood cells, are currently the only type of stem cells commonly used for therapy. Doctors have been transferring HSC’s in bone marrow transplants for more than 40 years. Advanced techniques for collecting or “harvesting” HSC’s are now used to treat leukemia, lymphoma and several inherited blood disorders.
 
The clinical potential of stem cells has also been demonstrated in the treatment of other human diseases, including diabetes and advanced kidney cancer. However, these new therapies have been offered only to a very limited number of patients using adult stem cells.
 
Unfortunately stem cell therapies have technical, ethical and legal hurdles to overcome before they will be able to be used to possibly affect tissue and organ repair in disease states that heretofore have only treated the symptoms. A significant hurdle to most uses of stem cells is that scientists do not yet fully understand the signals that turn specific genes on and off to influence the differentiation of the stem cell. Therefore, scientists will have to be able to precisely control the differentiation of stem cells into the specific cell type to be used in therapy and drug testing. Current knowledge of the signals controlling differentiation fall well short of being able to mimic these conditions precisely to consistently have identical differentiated cells for each specified use.
 
To realize the promise of novel cell-based therapies for such pervasive and debilitating diseases, scientists must be able to easily and reproducibly manipulate stem cells so that they possess the necessary characteristics for successful differentiation, transplantation and engraftment. To be useful for transplant purposes, stem cells must be reproducibly made to: proliferate extensively and generate sufficient quantities of tissue, differentiate into the desired cell type(s), survive in the recipient after transplant, integrate into the surrounding tissue after transplant, function appropriately for the duration of the recipient's life, avoid harming the recipient in any way, and avoid the problem of immune rejection. There is no assurance that any commercialized cell-based therapies will ever be developed.
 
Although there are many ways to access stem cells, we believe that its autologous blood monocyte-derived stem cells offer distinct advantages.
 
Therapies utilizing Our Stem Cell Platform
 
We have developed a proprietary adult stem cell technology to produce monocyte-derived stem cells (MDSC) from blood. These MDSC can be derived from a patient’s monocytes, expanded ex vivo, and then administered to the same patient. We believe that because this is an autologous therapy, there should be no allogenic rejection issues as self-derived MDSC pose no immunological problems. Normally, allogenic cells are deleted by host immune responses and require the use of anti-rejection drugs.
 
Our novel multi-potent stem cell is derived from peripheral blood monocytes which when cultured under defined conditions are able to further differentiate into several cellular lineages. Molecular biology and immunohistochemical studies have shown that these MDSCs have specific markers that distinguish them from other stem cells. In addition these studies have also shown a time-dependence for the expression of these specific gene products during the growth and differentiation of MDSCs. In vitro experiments with MDSCs have shown their capacity to differentiate towards hematopoietic, epithelial, endothelial, endocrine and neuronal cells. Our main focus is the further development of this monocyte-derived stem cell (MDCS) technology as a novel platform for the in vitro generation of highly specialized cells for potential application in autologous cell therapy for patients with diseases such diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease.

20

 
Working either alone or in conjunction with strategic partners, we intend to utilize these MDSC from the same patient to attempt to develop a therapy which may cause autologous tissue or organ repair. The initial internal therapeutic target is diabetes mellitus. Other therapeutic targets would be pursued through early-stage licensing or strategic alliances. The diabetes program is currently in pre-clinical development.
 
Pancreatic Islet Cell Development
 
Diab etes is a disease characterized by the failure or loss of pancreatic β-cells to generate sufficient levels of the hormone insulin required to meet the body’s need to maintain normal nutrient homeostasis. Type 1 diabetes is caused by the complete loss of pancreatic β-cells when the body’s own immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys a person’s β-cells. While for T ype 2 diabetes the causes are far more complicated and poorly understood, the results of the disease are similar in that often the β-cells fa il to generate sufficient amounts of insulin to maintain normal homeostasis. The loss of insulin results in an increase in blood glucose levels and will eventually lead to the development of premature cardiovascular disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Currently there is no permanent cure for diabetes; however, recent clinical islet cell transplantations have shown good success in restoring long-term endogenous insulin production and glycemic stability in subjects who have Type 1 diabetes mellitus with unstable baseline control. Persistent islet function without injected insulin dependence provides considerable benefit.
 
Current cell transplant therapy for the treatment of diabetes is limited by an inadequate supply of insulin-producing cells. Cadaveric s ources are limited and up to three pancreas are required to obtain clinically significant quantities of β-cells for one patient. The identification of novel adult human stem cells provides a new prospect for obtaining a sufficient number of insulin-produc ing β-cells for transplantation. Using our technology a single blood draw may be adequate to produce clinical quantities of β-cells for a patient.
 
In vitro experiments with MDSC have shown their capacity to differentiate toward a wide variety of cell types including pancreatic β-like cells. These cells aggregate into clusters resembling pancreatic Islets of Langerhans termed Monocyte Derived Islets (MDI). The cluster aggregates show endocrine gene expression . Biochemical assays have demonstrated that MDI can synthesize and secrete significant amounts of insulin during their growth and respond in a glucose-dependent manner. In addition, MDI can be stimulated or repressed by the addition of agonists or antagonists of insulin in vitro.
 
    The importance of these stem cells is the ability to easily and cost effectively derive them from an individual’s circulating monocytes, expand them and administer them back into the same patient. This autologous approach provides a method to overcome any rejection issues and the need for immunosuppressant drugs which are often associated with current transplantations. This technology may lead to the formation of an unlimited source of β cells suitable for an autologous cell therapy for the treatment of diabetes mellitus.
 
Stem Cell Pre-Clinical and Clinical Development
 
We are conducting pre-clinical studies to demonstrate proof of concept and method of delivery with a planned IND (Investigational New Drug) submission to the FDA during 2007. We are targeting a 2008 Phase I study for monocyte-derived islet transplantation of patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Licenses, Patents and Proprietary Rights
 
We believe that proprietary protection of our technologies is critical to the development of our business. We intend to continue to protect our proprietary intellectual property through patents and other appropriate means. We rely upon trade-secret protection for some confidential and proprietary information and take active measures to control access to that information. We currently have non-disclosure agreements with all of our employees, consultants, vendors, advisory board members and contract research organizations.
 
Our intellectual property strategy includes developing proprietary technology for the sourcing, scale up, manufacturing, and storage of T cells and multipotent adult stem cells and the use of these cells in multiple therapeutic applications. This strategy will include expanding on technologies in-licensed to us as well as in-licensing additional technologies through collaborations with universities and biotech companies.
 
We have exclusive, worldwide licenses to certain patents that relate to our T-cell technology and our multipotent adult stem cell technology.
 
T-Cell Therapy IP
 
We have an exclusive, worldwide license from the Baylor College of Medicine to patent applications claiming rights to the treatment of multiple sclerosis using attenuated modified T-cells and to the use of the T-cell technology as a diagnostic. The license was granted to us by Baylor in exchange for common stock in Opexa Pharmaceuticals which was acquired by the Company in November 2004. The key terms of the agreement are: exclusive, worldwide, and a 2% royalty on net sales of licensed products. The royalty decreases to 1% after the aggregate net sales exceed $500 million. There are no other performance or payment terms in the license. We also have a separate consulting agreement with the inventor, Jingwu Zang, M.D., Ph.D. which grants us the right of first refusal on all future discoveries made by Dr. Zang.
 
We have filed additional patent applications related to T-Cell vaccination for MS.
 
Rheumatoid Arthritis Therapy IP
 
We have an exclusive worldwide license for the intellectual property rights and research results of an autologous T cell vaccine for rheumatoid arthritis from the Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences (SIBS), Chinese Academy of Sciences of the People's Republic of China. We made a $125,000 license payment and agreed to pay a 0.5% royalty on net sales of licensed products.
 
We have filed additional patent applications related to T-Cell vaccination for RA.
 
Stem Cell Therapy IP
 
We have an exclusive, worldwide license from the University of Chicago, through its prime contractor relationship with Argonne National Laboratory, to a patent application claiming rights to the development of adult multipotent stem cells from monocytes isolated from adult human peripheral blood. The technology was discovered and developed at the Argonne National Laboratory, a U.S. Department of Energy Laboratory.
 
Pursuant to the license we have issued a total of 53,463 shares of our common stock to the University of Chicago. We have also agreed to pay the University of Chicago $1.5 million and issue to them 21,623 shares of Opexa Common Stock by April 30, 2007. We have agreed to pay a percentage of royalties on sales of products subject to the licensed patents, as well as sublicense fees. In addition, the University of Chicago license requires us to expend on research and development at least $2,000,000 within two (2) years of the execution of the license and at least an additional $4,000,000 within four (4) years of the execution of the license. Research and development expenditures by sublicensees may account for half of each amount. The license also requires us to sell a product or method based on the licensed technology by February 2011.

22

 
We have filed patent applications related to the process of obtaining monocyte-derived stem cells and the further differentiation of the cells into pancreatic islet cells.
 
Our Product Pipeline

Tovaxin™ is a vaccine approach to treating multiple sclerosis in that it induces the body’s immune system to attack the MRTCs that we believe are responsible for destroying the myelin sheath coating of the axons in the central nervous system. We believe that the depletion and regulation of the MRTCs may stop progression of multiple sclerosis. Tovaxin™ is currently in a Phase IIb clinical trial. We enrolled its first patient in November 2006 and expects to complete enrollment in mid 2007.
 
Rheumatoid Arthritis Therapy
 
Our Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) T-cell vaccination (TCV) technology is conceptually similar to Tovaxin™. RA is an autoimmune T-cell-mediated disease in which Pathogenic T-cells trigger an inflammatory autoimmune response of the synovial joints of the wrists, shoulders, knees, ankles and feet which causes pain, stiffness, and swelling around the joints. We are currently transferring the technology to our laboratory and will present data to the FDA in 2007 with the intention of filing an IND and initiating a Phase I clinical trial in 2008.
 
Diabetes Stem Cell Therapy

We believe that there are approximately 20.8 million people the United States who have diabetes. More than 1 million of these people have Type 1 diabetes mellitus. Among adults with diagnosed diabetes, 31% take insulin to control their disease. Research studies have found that improved glycemic control benefits people with either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. Islet transplantation using Opexa’s proprietary monocyte-derived islet cell may offer the potential to improve glycemic control in a subgroup of patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus who are disabled by refractory hypoglycemia. We are in preclinical development and plans to file an IND in 2007 and initiate a Phase I clinical trial in 2008.

Cardiac Stem Cell Therapy  

Stem cell treatment of congestive heart failure could revolutionize treatment of the disease because it may treat the source of the problem by replacing diseased cardiac muscle tissue with stem cells that grow or induce the growth of new healthy cardiac tissue. Elsewhere multiple Phase I clinical studies encompassing more than 70 patients have been run with autologous bone marrow stem cells that report improved cardiac perfusion. A recent (2003-2004) trial reported that injected autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells, using electromechanical mapping into areas of ischemic myocardium in patients with endstage ischemic cardiomyopathy and heart failure, showed a therapeutic effect with improved myocardial perfusion and exercise capacity, at 6 and 12 months, as well as increased global left ventricular function. Using the experience of these Phase I trials we plan to move through pre-clinical development and, if successful, initiate human testing as soon as practicable.

23

Other Opportunities

We intend to conduct basic research to determine the potential use of the our stem cells in other indications such as macular degeneration, heart attack, and Parkinson’s disease. Liver cells (hepatocytes) derived from our stem cells may be valuable across the biopharmaceutical industry to test for drug toxicity or to help cure liver diseases. We intend to partner or sublicense some of these indications if they are not pursued for internal development. For those indications where we believe it can participate commercially, we will possibly take partners in key commercial markets outside of the United States.
 
Research Collaborations
 
We anticipate that from time to time in the future we will enter into collaborative research agreements with other academic and research institutions. We will use such agreements to enhance our research capabilities. Typically, in the industry, such agreements provide the industry partner with rights to license the intellectual property created through the collaboration. We may also enter into collaborative research agreements with other pharmaceutical companies when we believe such collaboration will support the development and commercialization of our technology.
 
Commercialization Through Third Part ies
 
We anticipate that we will grant sublicenses for certain applications of our technologies. We believe that by sublicensing some of the rights to our technology to pharmaceutical companies and other third parties, we will be able to more efficiently develop some applications of our technologies. We currently do not have any sublicenses.
 
Competition
 
The development of therapeutic and diagnostic agents for human disease is intensely competitive. Major pharmaceutical companies currently offer a number of pharmaceutical products to treat heart attack, stroke, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, liver diseases, arthritis and other diseases for which our technologies may be applicable. Many pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are investigating new drugs and therapeutic approaches for the same purposes, which may achieve new efficacy profiles, extend the therapeutic window for such products, alter the prognosis of these diseases, or prevent their onset. We believe that our products, when and if successfully developed, will compete with these products principally on the basis of improved and extended efficacy and safety and their overall economic benefit to the health care system. We expect competition to increase. We believe that our most significant competitors will be fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies. Smaller companies may also be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Some of our primary competitors in the current treatment of and in the development of treatments for multiple sclerosis include Biogen-Idec, Elan, Serono, Aventis, Teva, and Schering AG. Some of our primary competitors in the development of stem cell therapies include Aastrom Biosciences, Geron, Gamida-Cell Ltd, Stem Cells Inc., Cellerant Therapeutics, Viacell, and Osiris Therapeutics. Many of these competitors have significant products in development that could be competitive with our potential products.
 
Sales and Marketing
 
We intend to develop a sales force to market our multiple sclerosis cell therapy products in the U.S. Given the concentration of multiple sclerosis among a relatively small number of specialized neurologists, we believe that a modest size sales force would be sufficient to market the multiple sclerosis products.

24

 
We plan to partner with large biotech and pharmaceutical companies for the marketing and sales of our MS and RA T-cell products outside the United States and our stem cell therapy products.
 
Description of Property  
 
Our 10,200 sq. ft. facility is located on 3 acres at 2635 North Crescent Ridge Drive in The Woodlands, Texas. This location provides space for research and development and manufacturing capacity for clinical trials; a specialized Flow Cytometry and Microscopy lab; support of clinical trials with 800 sq. ft. of GMP (good manufacturing practice) manufacturing suites; Quality Systems management with Quality Control Laboratory, Regulatory Affairs, Quality Assurance; as well as administrative support space. There is 2,500 sq. ft. of space still available for future build-out. The facility including the property is leased for a term ending in 2015 with two options for an additional five years each at the then prevailing market rate.
 
Government Regulation
 
Our research and development activities and the future manufacturing and marketing of our potential products are, and will be, subject to regulation for safety and efficacy by a number of governmental authorities in the United States and other countries.
 
In the United States, pharmaceuticals, biologicals and medical devices are subject to FDA regulation. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended, and the Public Health Service Act, as amended, the regulations promulgated thereunder, and other Federal and state statutes and regulations govern, among other things, the testing, manufacture, safety, efficacy, labeling, storage, export, record keeping, approval, marketing, advertising and promotion of our potential products. Product development and approval within this regulatory framework takes a number of years and involves significant uncertainty combined with the expenditure of substantial resources.
 
FDA Approval
 
We will need to obtain FDA approval of any therapeutic product we plan to market and sell. The steps required before our potential products may be marketed in the United States include:
 
1.   Preclinical Laboratory and Animal Tests. Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluation of the product and animal studies in specific disease models to assess the potential safety and efficacy of the product and our formulation as well as the quality and consistency of the manufacturing process.
 
2.   Submission to the FDA of an Application for an Investigational New Drug Exemption, or IND, Which Must Become Effective Before U.S. Human Clinical Trials May Commence.   The results of the preclinical tests are submitted to the FDA as part of an IND, and the IND becomes effective 30 days following its receipt by the FDA, as long as there are no questions, requests for delay or objections from the FDA.
 
3.   Adequate and Well-Controlled Human Clinical Trials to Establish the Safety and Efficacy of the Product. Clinical trials involve the evaluation of the product in healthy volunteers or, as may be the case with our potential products, in a small number of patients under the supervision of a qualified physician. Clinical trials are conducted in accordance with protocols that detail the objectives of the study, the parameters to be used to monitor safety and the efficacy criteria to be evaluated. Any product administered in a U.S. clinical trial must be manufactured in accordance with GMP. Each protocol is submitted to the FDA as part of the IND.

25

 
The protocol for each clinical study must be approved by an independent Institutional Review Board, or IRB, at the institution at which the study is conducted and the informed consent of all participants must be obtained. The IRB will consider, among other things, the existing information on the product, ethical factors, the safety of human subjects, the potential benefits of the therapy and the possible liability of the institution.
 
Clinical development is traditionally conducted in three sequential phases, which may overlap:
 
 	·	In Phase I, products are typically introduced into healthy human subjects or into selected patient populations to test for adverse reactions, dosage tolerance, absorption and distribution, metabolism, excretion and clinical pharmacology.	
 
 	·	Phase II involves studies in a limited patient population to (i) determine the efficacy of the product for specific targeted indications and populations, (ii) determine optimal dosage and dosage tolerance and (iii) identify possible adverse effects and safety risks. When a dose is chosen and a candidate product is found to be effective and to have an acceptable safety profile in Phase II evaluations, Phase III trials begin.	
 
 	·	Phase III trials are undertaken to conclusively demonstrate clinical efficacy and to test further for safety within an expanded patient population, generally at multiple study sites.	
 
The FDA continually reviews the clinical trial plans and results and may suggest changes or may require discontinuance of the trials at any time if significant safety issues arise.
 
1.   Submission to the FDA of Marketing Authorization Applications.   The results of the preclinical studies and clinical studies are submitted to the FDA in the form of marketing approval authorization applications.
 
2.   FDA Approval of the Application(S) Prior to Any Commercial Sale or Shipment of the Drug Biologic Product Manufacturing Establishments Located in Certain States Also May be Subject to Separate Regulatory and Licensing Requirement. The testing and approval process will require substantial time, effort and expense. The time for approval is affected by a number of factors, including relative risks and benefits demonstrated in clinical trials, the availability of alternative treatments and the severity of the disease. Additional animal studies or clinical trials may be requested during the FDA review period, which might add to that time.
 
After FDA approval for the product, the manufacturing and the initial indications, further clinical trials may be required to gain approval for the use of the product for additional indications. The FDA may also require unusual or restrictive post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor for adverse effects, which could involve significant expense, or may elect to grant only conditional approvals.
 
FDA Manufacturing Requirements
 
Among the conditions for product licensure is the requirement that the prospective manufacturer's quality control and manufacturing procedures conform to the FDA's Good Manufacturing Practice, or GMP requirements. Even after product licensure approval, the manufacturer must comply with GMP on a continuing basis, and what constitutes GMP may change as the state of the art of manufacturing changes. Domestic manufacturing facilities are subject to regular FDA inspections for GMP compliance, which are normally held at least every two years. Foreign manufacturing facilities are subject to periodic FDA inspections or inspections by the foreign regulatory authorities with reciprocal inspection agreements with the FDA. Domestic manufacturing facilities may also be subject to inspection by foreign authorities.

Fast Track, Priority Review and Accelerated Approval
 
Fast Track refers to a process for interacting with the FDA during drug development. Priority Review applies to the time frame the FDA targets for reviewing a completed application. Accelerated Approval (Subpart H) applies to the design and content of the studies used to support a marketing claim.
 
Fast Track is a formal mechanism to interact with the FDA using approaches that are available to all applicants for marketing claims. The Fact Track mechanism is described in the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997. The benefits of Fast Track include scheduled meetings to seek FDA input into development plans, the option of submitting a New Drug Application (NDA) in sections rather than all components simultaneously, and the option of requesting evaluation of studies using surrogate endpoints as discussed below. The Fast Track designation is intended for the combination of a product and a claim that addresses an unmet medical need, but is independent of Priority Review and Accelerated Approval. An applicant may use any or all of the components of Fast Track without the formal designation. Fast Track designation does not necessarily lead to a Priority Review or Accelerated Approval.
 
Priority Review is a designation for an application after it has been submitted to the FDA for review for approval of a marketing claim. Under the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997, reviews for NDAs are designated as either Standard or Priority. A Standard designation sets the target date for completing all aspects of a review and the FDA taking an action on the application (approve or not approve) at 10 months after the date it was filed. A Priority designation sets the target date for the FDA action at 6 months. A Priority designation is intended for those products that address unmet medical needs.
 
Accelerated Approval or Subpart H Approval is a program described in the NDA regulations that is intended to make promising products for life threatening diseases available on the market on the basis of preliminary evidence prior to formal demonstration of patient benefit. The studies are designed to measure and the FDA evaluation is performed on the basis of a surrogate marker (a measurement intended to substitute for the clinical measurement of interest, usually prolongation of survival) that is considered likely to predict patient benefit. The approval that is granted may be considered a provisional approval with a written commitment to complete clinical studies that formally demonstrate patient benefit. The Federal Register published a discussion of Accelerated Approval with comments. Absent a formal demonstration of patient benefit, a risk benefit assessment cannot be made. Accelerated Approval designation does not necessarily lead to a Priority Review.
 
Special Protocol Assessment
 
The Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) process is a procedure by which the FDA provides official evaluation and guidance on proposed protocols for pivotal Phase III clinical trials. An SPA documents the FDA's agreement that the design and plan analysis of the Phase III study adequately addresses objectives in support of a regulatory submission such as a biologics license application (BLA).
 
Good Tissue Practices Regulation
 
The FDA requires human cell, tissue, and cellular and tissue-based product (HCT/P) establishments to follow current good tissue practice, which governs the methods used in, and the facilities and controls used for, the manufacture of HCT/Ps; recordkeeping; and the establishment of a quality program. The agency has issued regulations pertaining to labeling, reporting, inspections, and enforcement that apply to manufacturers of those HCT/Ps regulated under the authority of the Public Health Service Act, or as drugs, devices, and/or biological products.

27

 
As part of this approach, the FDA requires registration of establishments that engage in the recovery, screening, testing, processing, storage or distribution of human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products and for the listing of such products unless such products are performed under an IND (Investigational New Drug) . These products specifically include stem cells that are progenitors of blood cells; however, the FDA makes no explicit statement regarding the inclusion of other types of stem cells. In addition, the FDA has published rules for making suitability determinations for donors of cells and tissue and for current good tissue practice for manufacturers using them.
 
Other Regulations
 
In addition to safety regulations enforced by the FDA, we are also subject to regulations under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Environmental Protection Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act and other present and potential future foreign, Federal, state and local regulations.
 
Outside the United States, we will be subject to regulations that govern the import of drug products from the United States or other manufacturing sites and foreign regulatory requirements governing human clinical trials and marketing approval for our products. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursements vary widely from country to country. In particular, the European Union is revising its regulatory approach to high tech products, and representatives from the United States, Japan and the European Union are in the process of harmonizing and making more uniform the regulations for the registration of pharmaceutical products in these three markets.
 
Employees
 
As of March 26, 2007, we had 36 full time employees. We believe that our relations with our employees are good. None of our employees is represented by a union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
 
Legal Proceedings
 
We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
 
The following table sets forth, as of March 26, 2007, the number and percentage of outstanding shares of our common stock owned by: (a) each person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock; (b) each of our directors; (c) the named executive officers as defined in Item 402 of Regulation S-B; and (d) all current directors and executive officers, as a group. As of March 26, 2007, there were 6,696,784 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. Under this rule, certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire shares (for example, upon exercise of an option or warrant) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person by reason of such acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the following table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual voting power at any particular date.

To our knowledge, except as indicated in the footnotes to this table and pursuant to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
 
The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:
 
·  	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;	
 
·  	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;	
 
·  	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;	
 
·  	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;	
 
·  	privately negotiated transactions;	
 
·  	short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;	
 
·  	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;	
 
·  	broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;	
 
·  	a combination of any such methods of sale; and	
 
·  	any other method permitted by law.	
 
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
 
In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. Upon any exercise of the warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the warrants.
 
The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
 
The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
 
To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
 
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
 
We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
 
We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.
 
We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (2) the date on which the shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
Opexa Therapeutics, Inc.
(formerly PharmaFrontiers Corp.)
(a development stage company)
The Woodlands, Texas

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Opexa Therapeutics, Inc. (a development stage company), as of December 31, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of expenses, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the period from January 22, 2003 (Inception) through December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Opexa’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Opexa as of December 31, 2006 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods described in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

OPEXA THERAPEUTICS, INC.
(a development stage company)
(formerly PharmaFrontiers Corp.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Opexa Therapeutics, Inc. (“Opexa”), was incorporated in Texas in March, 1991 as a bio-pharmaceutical company engaged in developing autologous personalized cell therapies. During the development stage, Opexa acquired the worldwide license to technology developed at Argonne National Laboratory, a U.S. Department of Energy Laboratory Operated by the University of Chicago (“Argonne”). This is an exclusive license to a stem cell technology in which adult multi-potent stem cells are derived from monocytes obtained from the patient’s own blood (the “License”). A patent application was filed in November 2003, with the United States Patent and Trade Office regarding the technology involved in the License.

On October 7, 2004, Opexa acquired all of the outstanding stock of Opexa Pharmaceuticals, Inc., an entity that has the exclusive worldwide license from Baylor College of Medicine to an individualized T-cell therapeutic vaccine, Tovaxin™, which is in U.S. FDA Phase IIb human clinical trials to evaluate its safety and effectiveness in treating multiple sclerosis.

Development Stage Company. The Company is considered to be in the Development stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7. The Company has no revenues to date.

Basis of Presentation. In June 2006, the Company (i) changed its name to Opexa Therapeutics, Inc. from PharmaFrontiers Corp. and (ii) effected a one-for-ten reverse common stock split. All references to number of shares and per share amounts reflect such split as if it occurred on the first day of the first period presented. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Opexa Therapeutics, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Opexa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassifications. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

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

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Marketable securities include investments with maturities greater than three months but less than one year. The primary objectives for the fixed income investment portfolio are liquidity and safety of principal. Investments are made with the objective of achieving the highest rate of return consistent with these two objectives. Opexa’s investment policy limits investments to certain types of instruments issued by institutions primarily with investment grade credit ratings and places restrictions on maturities and concentration by type and issuer.

Long-lived Assets. Property and equipment are stated on the basis of historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations. Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount.

F-8

Income Taxes. Income tax expense is based on reported earnings before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for consolidated financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes, and are measured by applying enacted tax rates in effect in years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

Stock-Based Compensation. On January 1, 2006, Opexa began recording compensation expense associated with stock options and other forms of equity compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, as interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. Prior to January 1, 2006, Opexa had accounted for stock options according to the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, and therefore no related compensation expense was recorded for awards granted with no intrinsic value. Opexa adopted the modified prospective transition method provided for under SFAS No. 123R, and, consequently, have not retroactively adjusted results from prior periods. Under this transition method, compensation cost associated with stock options recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 includes the quarterly amortization related to the remaining unvested portion of all stock option awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123.

The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per share if Opexa had applied the fair value provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation prior to January 1, 2006:

Research and Development. Research and development expenses include salaries, related employee expenses, clinical trial expenses, research expenses, consulting fees, and laboratory costs. All costs for research and development activities are expensed as incurred. Opexa expenses the costs of licenses of patents and the prosecution of patents until the issuance of such patents and the commercialization of related products is reasonably assured. Research and development expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $7,612,932, as compared to $4,183,356 for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments . Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Opexa’s derivatives are separately valued and accounted for on our balance sheet. Fair values for securities traded in the open market and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using market based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates.

F-9

The pricing model Opexa used for determining fair values of its derivatives is the Black Scholes Pricing Model. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates, exchange rates and option volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management's judgment and may impact net income.

In September 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock," ("EITF 00-19") which requires freestanding contracts that are settled in a company's own stock, including common stock warrants, to be designated as an equity instrument, asset or a liability. Under the provisions of EITF 00-19, a contract designated as an asset or a liability must be carried at fair value on a company's balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in the company's results of operations. A contract designated as an equity instrument must be included within equity, and no fair value adjustments are required.

In December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements (EITF 00-19-2). EITF 00-19-2 addresses an issuer’s accounting for registration payment arrangements. It specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The guidance in EITF 00-19-2 amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, and FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, to include scope exceptions for registration payment arrangements. EITF 00-19-2 also requires additional disclosure regarding the nature of any registration payment arrangements, alternative settlement methods, the maximum potential amount of consideration and the current carrying amount of the liability, if any. This EITF is effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the financial instruments subject to those arrangements that are entered into or modified subsequent to the date of issue of this EITF. For registration payment arrangements and financial instruments subject to those arrangements that were entered into prior to the issuance of this EITF, this is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The impact of implementing EITF 00-19-2 in the fiscal year 2007 will result in a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle with a credit to beginning retained earnings of $6,656,677 and a reversal of the same amount to the derivative liability account.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. 
 
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments," which amends SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and SFAS 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." SFAS 155 simplifies the accounting for certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments by allowing them to be accounted for as a whole if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFA 155 also clarifies and amends certain other provisions of SFAS 133 and SFAS 140. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a remeasurement event occurring in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006 and is therefore required to be adopted by the Company as of October 1, 2006. Management is still evaluating what effect this will have on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN No. 48), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes." This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a "more-likely-than-not" approach. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management is still evaluating what effect this will have on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements." This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is encouraged. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.

F-10

 
There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2006 and 2005, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2 - MARKETABLE SECURITIES

At December 31, 2006, Opexa invested $10.9 million in in A-1/P-1 commercial paper, of which $2.9 million is invested in marketable securities, and $3.9 million is invested in a money market account with an average market yield of 5.33% and average time to maturity of 1.32 months. Interest income of $688,299 was recognized for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 in the consolidated statements of expenses.

NOTE 3 - LICENSE AGREEMENTS

University of Chicago License Agreement
In 2004 Opexa entered into an agreement with the University of Chicago (“University”) for the worldwide license to technology developed at Argonne National Laboratory, a U.S. Department of Energy Laboratory Operated by the University. In consideration for the license, Opexa paid the University $57,742 and issued 23,719 shares valued at $1,199,706. In December 2004, the License Agreement was amended granting Opexa an exclusive, non-transferable worldwide license to the University’s stem cell technology. In consideration for the amendment, Opexa paid the University an additional $175,000, issued the University 550 shares of common stock valued at $352,000, agreed to pay the University $1,500,000 on October 30, 2005 and agreed to issue the University shares of Opexa common stock, including the shares already issued, equal to 2.6% of the total outstanding number of shares after conversion of the 15% exchangeable convertible subordinated promissory notes. In June 2005, 27,484 shares of common stock were issued to the University of Chicago per the terms of a license agreement. These shares were recorded at $867,064. In August 2005, 1,710 shares of common stock were issued to the University of Chicago per the terms of a license agreement. These shares were recorded at $109,434. In October 2006, the $1,500,000 cash payment obligation was extended until April 30, 2007 and (ii) the obligation to issue 21,623 shares of Opexa’s common stock issuable was extended until April 30, 2007, with $112,440 accrued at December 31, 2006.

Shanghai Institute for Biological Science License Agreement

In January 2006, Opexa acquired an exclusive worldwide license for the intellectual property rights and research results of an autologous T cell vaccine for rheumatoid arthritis from the Shanghai Institute for Biological Science, China Academy of Science of the People’s Republic of China. In exchange for a payment of $125,000 and an agreed running royalty from the sale of commercialized products, Opexa receives all information and data related to all clinical trials on all patient controls and patients with rheumatoid arthritis with the T cell vaccine. This includes all clinical, cell procurement and manufacturing protocols, complete patient data sheets, all laboratory materials, methods and results and manufacturing records and documents and any other data related to the intellectual property. The first payment under the license occurred in April 2006 upon the delivery of materials pursuant to the terms of the licensing agreement. Opexa amortizes this intangible asset over its life of 19 years and as of December 31, 2006 the intangible asset had an unamortized balance of $120,311.

NOTE 4 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets consisted of the following at December 31, 2006:

 	 	 	 	 	 	
 	 	 	 	 	 	
Description	 	Life	 	Amount	 	
University of Chicago license (see Note 2)	 	 	17 years	 	$	4,140,644	 	
Opexa intangible group (see Note 11)	 	 	15 years	 	 	23,991,128	 	
Rheumatoid arthritis license (see Note 2)	 	 	19 years	 	 	125,000	 	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Subtotal	 	 	 	 	 	28,256,772	 	
Less: accumulated amortization	 	 	 	 	 	(3,533,569	)	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Intangible assets, net	 	 	 	 	$	24,723,203	 	

The Company believes that patent rights form one of its most valuable assets. Patents and patent applications are a key currency of intellectual property, especially in the early stage of product development, as their purchase and maintenance gives the Company access to key product development rights from Opexa’s academic partners. The company amortizes its patent and license costs over a period of 15 to 19 years. These intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets. The Company expenses payments made to legal firms that are engaged in filing and protecting rights to intellectual property and rights for our current products in both the domestic and international markets. Amortization expense totaled $1,644,678 and $1,637,129 in fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively.

NOTE 5 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment consisted of the following at December 31, 2006:

Description	 	Life	 	Amount	 	
Computer equipment	 	 	3 years	 	$	134,023	 	
Office furniture and equipment	 	 	3-10 years	 	 	220,113	 	
Software	 	 	3-5 years	 	 	46,089	 	
Laboratory equipment	 	 	3-10 years	 	 	912,709

Property and equipment, net	 	 	 	 	$	1,361,377	 	

 
Property and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of three to ten years, depending upon the type of equipment, except for leasehold improvements which are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining lease term or the life of the asset, whichever is shorter. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged as an expense as incurred. Depreciation expense totaled $174,117 and $98,080 in fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively.

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES

Opexa uses the liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes.
 
At December 31, 2006, for federal income tax and alternative minimum tax reporting purposes, the Company had approximately $31,383,048 of unused net operating losses available for carryforward to future years. The benefit from carryforward of such net operating losses will expire in various years through 2026. Under the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the benefit from utilization of approximately $5,650,429 of net operating losses incurred prior to October 7, 2004 was significantly limited as a result of the change of control that occurred in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Opexa. The benefit could be subject to further limitations if significant future ownership changes occur in the Company.

F-12

At December 31, 2006, deferred tax assets consisted of the following:

NOL @ 12/31/05	 	$(21,540,246)

NOTE 7 - THIRD PARTY CONVERTIBLE NOTES

Between September 2004 and February 2005, Opexa issued convertible notes to investors totaling $6,124,859. In March 2005, 45,169 shares of common stock with a relative fair value of $999,074 were issued to note holders as their additional shares for their subscription investment in Opexa . In June 2005, a total of $6,650,372 comprised of the principal of the notes of $6,124,859 and accumulated interest of $525,513, which accrued at a rate of 15% per annum, was exchanged for 443,360 shares of common stock, Class A and Class B warrants that expired in 2006, and Class C warrants to purchase 1,110,548 shares at an exercise price of $30 per share.

Opexa analyzed the convertible notes and the warrants for derivative accounting consideration under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. Opexa determined the embedded conversion option in the convertible notes met the criteria for classification in stockholders equity under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. Therefore, derivative accounting was not applicable for these convertible notes payable. See Note 13 for a discussion of the accounting for the warrants.

NOTE 8 - NOTE PAYABLE

Note payable consists of a note in the amount of $1,500,000 payable to the University of Chicago, secured by license, no interest and due April 30, 2007. See Note 3 for details.

Loan payable consists of an equipment line of up to $250,000 with Wells Fargo of which $110,322 was outstanding as of December 31, 2006. This loan has an interest rate of 7.61% per annum, matures in May 2011 and is secured by Opexa’s furniture and equipment purchased with the loan proceeds.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Office Lease

In October 2005, Opexa entered into a ten-year lease for its office and research facilities. There is 2,500 sq. ft. of space still available for future build-out. The facility including the property is leased for a term of ten years with two options for an additional five years each at the then prevailing market rate. Future minimum lease payments under the non-cancellable operating lease are $117,774 for 2007, $137,196 for 2008, $139,782 for 2009, $147,540 for 2010, $147,540 for 2011 and $584,343 for years 2012 to 2015. Rent expense for 2006 was $136,153 and $178,963 for 2005.

F-13

Contract Research Organization Agreement

In September 2006, Opexa engaged PharmaNet, LLC, a contract research organization focused on managing central nervous system trials to provide it with services in connection with its Phase IIb clinical trial.  An initial pre-payment of $400,000 was made to PharmaNet, LLC in April 2006, of which $133,334 remains as a prepaid balance as of December 31, 2006. An additional $235,000 payment was made in October representing an advance for investigator grant expenses, of which $191,329 remains a prepaid balance as of December 31, 2006.

NOTE 12 - PURCHASE OF OPEXA PHARMACEUTICALS

In October 2004, Opexa acquired all of the outstanding stock of Opexa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method, where all of Opexa Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s assets are restated to their fair market value on the acquisition date. The 250,000 shares of Opexa were valued at their then fair value of $23,750,000 or $95.00 per share. The results of operations for Opexa from November 6, 2004 through December 31, 2005 are included in the Statements of Operations and the Statements of Cash Flows.
 
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:
 
Current assets	 	$	55,387	 	
Property, plant and equipment, net	 	 	639,160	 	
Intangible assets	 	 	23,991,128	 	
 	 	 	 	 	
Total assets, net	 	 	24,685,675	 	
 	 	 	 	 	
Current liabilities	 	 	935,675	 	
 	 	 	 	 	
Total liabilities assumed	 	 	935,675	 	
 	 	 	 	 	
Net assets acquired	 	$	23,750,000	 	

Of the $23,991,128 of acquired intangible assets, the full amount is assigned to an inseparable group of patents and licenses that cannot function independently by themselves. The weighted average useful life of the intangible group as of December 31, 2006 is approximately 15 years.

NOTE 13 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, Opexa evaluated the application of SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19 for all of its financial instruments and identified the following financial instruments as derivatives:

(1) Series A Warrants issued in conjunction with the bridge note exchange and private placement offerings in June and July 2005, which expired on February 17, 2006;

(2) Series B Warrants issued in conjunction with the bridge note exchange and private placement offerings in June and July 2005, which expired on October 17, 2006; and

(3) Series C Warrants issued in conjunction with the bridge note exchange and private placement offerings in June and July 2005.

These three series of warrants are derivatives because the liquidated damage provision in the registration rights agreement covering each warrant resulted in the conclusion that it was more economic to issue registered shares than to issue unregistered shares and pay the penalty. Because issuing registered shares is outside of Opexa’s control, Opexa concluded the warrants should be accounted for as derivative liabilities under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19.

As a result, Opexa reports the value of these derivatives as current liabilities in its balance sheet and report changes in the value of these derivatives as non-operating gains or losses in its statements of operations. The value of the derivatives is required to be remeasured on a quarterly basis, and is based on the Black Scholes Pricing Model.

F-18

Variables used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include (1) risk free interest rate, (2) expected warrant life is the actual remaining life of the warrants as of each period end, (3) expected volatility and (4) zero expected dividends as further detailed in the table as follows:

 	 	 	 	 	 	

 	 	As of 12/31/2005	 	As of 12/31/2006	 	
Risk-free rate for term	 	 	 	 	 	
A Warrant	 	 	4.08	%	 	-	 	
B Warrant	 	 	4.37	%	 	-	 	
C Warrant	 	 	4.35	%	 	501	%	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Expected volatility	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
A Warrant	 	 	30	%	 	-	 	
B Warrant	 	 	112	%	 	-	 	
C Warrant	 	 	475	%	 	487	%	

The impact of the application of SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19 on the balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the statements of operations and for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the period from inception through December 31, 2006 is as follows:

Series C Warrants	 	 	6,496,698	 	 	6,656,677	 	 	2,923,519	 	 	(159,979	)	$	2,763,540	 	
Totals	 	$	6,761,655	 	$	6,656,677	 	$	3,896,841	 	$	104,978	 	$	4,001,819	 	

The warrants granted during the April 2006 financing were determined to qualify as for equity treatment under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. Nothing in the warrant agreements required cash settlement or allowed for the possibility of cash settlement including the impact of the liquidated damages penalty under the registration rights agreement. It was determined on the date of grant and at December 31, 2006 that it was more economic to issue unregistered shares and pay the penalty than to issue registered shares.

In December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements (EITF 00-19-2). EITF 00-19-2 addresses an issuer’s accounting for registration payment arrangements. It specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The guidance in EITF 00-19-2 amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, and FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, to include scope exceptions for registration payment arrangements. EITF 00-19-2 also requires additional disclosure regarding the nature of any registration payment arrangements, alternative settlement methods, the maximum potential amount of consideration and the current carrying amount of the liability, if any. This EITF is effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the financial instruments subject to those arrangements that are entered into or modified subsequent to the date of issue of this EITF. For registration payment arrangements and financial instruments subject to those arrangements that were entered into prior to the issuance of this EITF, this is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The impact of implementing EITF 00-19-2 in the fiscal year 2007 will result in a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle with a credit to beginning retained earnings of $6,656,677 and a reversal of the same amount to the derivative liability account.
