Business Development.
- ---------------------
On May 3, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors unanimously
resolved to issue 500,000 shares of its "unregistered" and "restricted" common
stock to A. Smith Associates in consideration of operating expenses advanced
by Mr. Smith. These shares were issued to A. Smith Associates on May 5, 1995.
During the Company's calendar year ended December 31, 1994, in
connection with the execution of an Investment Funds Agreement providing for a
loan of $35,000,000 to be obtained by Credit Economics Funding Group of Costa
Mesa, California ("Credit Economics"), the Company deposited four stock
certificates representing 1,157,160; 1,157,160; 2,314,320; and 2,479,629
shares of its common stock in escrow pending receipt of incremental payments
of the above-referenced loan amount (the "Credit Economics certificates").
These shares were not deemed to be outstanding until fully paid. If the first
incremental payment of $5,000,000 was not received by August 31, 1994, these
certificates were to be returned promptly to the Company's transfer agent.
The scheduled first incremental payment was not received by August 31, 1994,
or by the date of this Report. The Investment Funds Agreement had been
extended for consecutive 30-day periods since August 31, 1994; following the
final extension, it was set to expire if the first incremental payment was not
received by July 31, 1995. No such payment having been received, the four
stock certificates were returned to the Company's transfer agent for
cancellation and were cancelled on the books and records of the Company on
August 14, 1995. The Investment Funds Agreement is deemed to be null and
void.
On November 10, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors unanimously
resolved, pursuant to Section 78.315 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, to issue
the following shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to a written
compensation agreement (the "Plan") to be adopted by the Board of Directors
and for the value indicated in the Plan ($0.125 per share): Robert Bauer
(115,000 shares); Leonard W. Burningham, Esq. (160,000 shares, with an option
to acquire an additional 200,000 shares at $1.25 per share for a period
of five years from the date of the resolution, with Mr. Burningham's
outstanding statement to be credited to the exercise price of the option);
Leland Martineau, CPA (100,000 shares); Dennis Nielsen (100,000 shares); and
Karl Smith (200,000 shares), with all of the foregoing securities to be deemed
fully paid and non-assessable on issuance and to be registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on a Registration Statement on Form S-8,
provided that the Company is current in its reporting requirements under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The valuation of these shares
was based on the limited market for the Company's shares and its current lack
of funding.
The Board of Directors further resolved to issue the following
"unregistered" and "restricted" shares of the Company's common stock to the
following persons at the same per share value indicated in the Plan: A. Smith
Associates (700,000 shares); Barkente, Inc. (700,000 shares); Dennis Nielsen
(150,000 shares), with such securities to be issued subject to the receipt of
an appropriate "Investment Letter" by Mr. Smith and Barkente, and with all
such securities to be deemed fully paid and non-assessable on issuance.
On November 13, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors unanimously
resolved, pursuant to Section 78.315 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, to
appoint Holomon J. Nicholas, II to serve as President and Chief Operations
Officer of the Company until the next annual meeting of the Board of Directors
or until his successor is elected or qualified or his prior resignation or
termination. Thomas C. Drees, Ph.D., who resigned as President with the
appointment of Mr. Nicholas, was elected Chairman of the Board of Directors
and CEO of the Company, to serve for the same term as Mr. Nicholas.
It was further resolved on November 13, 1995, that the Company issue
100,000 "unregistered" and "restricted" shares of its common stock in
consideration of Mr. Nicholas' immediate consent to serve in the
above-referenced capacities, subject to receipt of an appropriate "Investment
Letter" executed by Mr. Nicholas, with an additional 200,000 "unregistered"
and "restricted" shares to be issued to Mr. Nicholas if and when he is
successful in raising at least $5,000,000 in funding for the Company in the 12
to 18 month period following the date of the resolution, and an additional
200,000 "unregistered" and "restricted" shares to be issued to Mr. Nicholas if
and when he is successful in raising at least $10,000,000 in funding for the
Company in the 12 to 18 month period following the date of the resolution, all
on satisfactory terms to the Board of Directors of the Company, with all such
shares to be deemed fully-paid and non-assessable on their issuance. The
Board of Directors further resolved that the Company shall also pay Mr.
Nicholas compensation of $4,000 per month, to be increased to $5,000 per month
when the activities of the Company demand more of his time, subject to his
agreement that A. Smith Associates, a stockholder and consultant to the
Company, shall be solely responsible for such payments until the Company has
received net funding of at least $500,000, and provided that the Company shall
reimburse A. Smith Associates for all such advances upon receipt of such
funding.
On December 4, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company
unanimously resolved to issue a total of 16,000 "unregistered" and
"restricted" shares of common stock to an unrelated third party in
satisfaction of a $12,000 loan to the Company.
As of the date of this Report, other than the 400,000 "unregistered"
and "restricted" shares that are to be issued to Mr. Nicholas in consideration
of his raising additional funding for the Company, all of the above-referenced
shares have been issued and are deemed to be fully-paid and non-assessable.
For a discussion of the business development of the Company from
inception to the end of the calendar year ended December 31, 1994, see its
Registration Statement on Form 10-SB-A1, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on August 19, 1994, and its Annual Report on Form
10-KSB-A1, filed on August 2, 1995, each of which is incorporated herein by
this reference. See Item 13 of this Report.
Subsequent Events.
- ------------------
On or about March 11, 1996, which is subsequent to the period
covered by this Report, the Board of Directors of the Company, acting without
a meeting pursuant to Section 78.315 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, resolved
to appoint David E. Nelson, CPA, Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Also
on March 11, 1996, which is subsequent to the period covered by this Report,
Thomas D. Drees, Ph.D., and Anthony G. Hargreaves, who collectively held in
excess of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's
common stock, acting without a meeting pursuant to Section 78.320 of the
Nevada Revised Statutes, resolved to elect Mr. Nelson and Holomon J. Nicholas,
II, to the Board of Directors of the Company, to serve until the next annual
meeting of stockholders or until their respective successors are elected and
qualified or their prior resignations or termination.
Business.
- ---------
The Company, through its majority-owned subsidiary, Sanguine
Corporation, a California corporation ("Sanguine California"), is engaged in
the development of a synthetic red blood cell product called "PHER-O2."
PHER-O2 is a second generation version of Fluosol, the only FDA-approved
synthetic blood product to date. The development of this product presently
comprises its sole business operations. PHER-O2 is composed of perfluoro-
decalin molecules (i.e., synthetic red blood cells), purified water and a
proprietary, synthetic, fluorinated surfactant to hold the emulsion together.
Perfluoro-decalin has great oxygen-carrying capacity, yet it can be as much as
900 times smaller than a red blood cell. Management believes that PHER-O2 may
carry three to four times the oxygen of human blood per unit. This increased
oxygen-carrying capacity may make PHER-O2 useful in the treatment of heart
attacks, strokes, cancer and other diseases for which increased oxygenation
is beneficial. Furthermore, the Company believes that perfluoro-decalin may
be effective as an imaging agent in X-ray imaging, nuclear magnetic resonance
(NMR) imaging and CAT scans, without side effects. Management also believes
that PHER-O2 has several other advantages over human blood: it may be
sterilized to be free of disease; is believed to have the quality of a
universal match for all blood types; may be mass-produced; and may be stored
much longer than human blood.
Battelle Memorial Institute was retained to assist the Company in
completing the emulsion of perfluoro-decalin and the synthetic surfactants
that make up PHER-O2. These activities ceased in May, 1994, when the Company
became unable to pay for new Battelle research services. In the event that
the Company is able to obtain substantial additional funding, as to which no
assurance can be given, it is anticipated that on completion of the
compounding of PHER-O2, Battelle Memorial Institute will perform initial gross
animal tests, which do not require regulatory approval prior to commencement;
however, the data gathered from any such tests will be subject to regulatory
review in the future. The Company anticipates that it will manufacture
experimental doses of PHER-O2 required to conduct gross animal testing.
In its second phase of operations, management intends to continue
developing the perfluorocarbon compounds in PHER-O2 in order to optimize its
quality, and expects to begin animal safety and efficacy trials in accordance
with guidelines of the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and
comparable foreign regulatory requirements.
In the final phase of the Company's proposed business operations, it
intends to complete its United States testing of PHER-O2, receive all
necessary FDA approvals and begin American and Canadian sales for cancer
treatment and angioplasty; and complete overseas testing, begin overseas sales
and begin the construction of manufacturing facilities. Sanguine California
has previously licensed BioLogix to manufacture and market PHER-O2 in Canada,
including any future Canadian patent rights, and the exclusive right to market
PHER-O2 in U.S. military pre-hospital markets. In this final phase, the
Company also intends to continue trials to test PHER-O2 for other
applications, including transplant organ preservation and the treatment of
carbon monoxide poisoning, sickle cell anemia, heart attack and stroke.
The Company will be required to conduct similar rigorous testing and clinical
trials of PHER-O2 for each desired application for which it is sought to be
used.
PHER-O2 is still in the research and development stage. It has not
been tested on animals or humans; nor has any application been submitted to
any federal, state or foreign agency to seek authority for such testing. This
development process will be time consuming, costly, subject to extreme
governmental regulation and must prove that this product is safe and
efficacious for human use. Until then, the Company will have no potential for
revenues from operations. No assurance can be given that the Company will be
able to raise the capital it will need to develop PHER-O2, or that if
sufficient funds are raised, that the Company will ever receive requisite
federal, state or foreign agency approval to manufacture or market this
product. See the captions "Principal Products or Services and their Markets,"
"Competition," "Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions,
Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts" and "Governmental Approval of Principal
Products or Services" of this Item.
Principal Products or Services and their Markets.
- -------------------------------------------------
The Company has only one product, PHER-O2, which is still in the
research and development stage. The Company's success hinges solely on the
success of this product, as to which no assurance can be given. PHER-O2 is
made up of perfluoro-decalin (a type of perfluorocarbon that is harmless to
the atmosphere), purified water and a proprietary surfactant to hold the
emulsion together. Perfluoro-decalin gives the product its oxygen carrying
ability. The surfactant is non-toxic and, being fluorinated, helps increase
PHER-O2's oxygen carrying capacity and emulsion stability. Sanguine believes
that the unique chemical nature of PHER-O2 will make it ideal for many medical
applications; each such application will be subject to the same types of
rigorous testing, clinical trials and regulatory approval process.
PHER-O2 is believed to have the following advantages over human
blood:
1. May carry three to four times the oxygen of human blood per
unit;
2. Free of HIV, hepatitis and other blood-borne disease;
3. Universal match for all blood types;
4. May be mass-produced;
5. Has a three-year shelf life;
6. May be stored at room temperature;
7. Has controllable circulatory half-life; and
8. 1/900th the size of a red blood cell.
The Company believes that these unique qualities may make PHER-O2
ideal for blood transfusions and numerous other medical applications,
including nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, CAT scans, cardioplegia (i.e.,
the priming of heart-lung machines in open heart surgery) and treatment of
heart attacks, strokes, head and neck tumors and hemorrhagic shock. The
Company intends to fully exploit the immense worldwide market for these
applications.
Blood transfusion represents a vast market for synthetic blood. The
limited supply of donated blood is the largest constraint on the number of
transfusions given annually. If a blood substitute were widely available,
more transfusions could be given to those who desperately need them.
The Company hopes to fill this need with PHER-O2. The key
ingredients in PHER-O2 are readily available in the U.S. from many
manufacturers. When combined in the Company's proposed factory, using the
Company's proprietary emulsion process, the result will be a plentiful
alternative to donated human blood.
Another disadvantage to the use of human blood in transfusions is
the waiting period while the donor's blood is being matched to the
recipient's. Because it is believed PHER-O2 does not need to be matched to
the recipient's blood type, the use of PHER-O2 would eliminate this
potentially fatal wait.
As HIV, hepatitis and other diseases have infected the world's blood
supply, the need for an absolutely sterile blood product has become
increasingly apparent. There is currently no 100 percent effective method for
detecting blood-borne disease and sterilization of donated blood is not yet
possible. In light of these facts, PHER-O2's potential sterility makes it
especially attractive in comparison to donated blood.
PHER-O2's anticipated ability to carry up to four times the oxygen
of human blood makes it promising for many medical applications in which
increased oxygenation is vital. PHER-O2 molecules are up to 900 times smaller
than human red blood cells. The Company believes that this fact will make
PHER-O2 particularly useful for oxygenating organs through blocked arteries,
which are the primary cause of heart attack and stroke.
One of the Company's erstwhile competitors has obtained FDA approval
for the use of a similar product in angioplasty, the treatment of blocked
arteries with small inflated balloons. This application involves the
injection of the blood substitute into the artery past the inflated balloon.
As a result, the heart receives more oxygen, the treating physician can keep
the balloon inflated longer and the angioplasty is more effective than it
would otherwise be. This competitor has recently announced that it will no
longer manufacture its product, leaving Sanguine well-positioned in this
market segment. See the caption "Competition" of this Item.
Management also believes that PHER-O2 will be ideal for use in
open-heart surgery. Cardiac surgeons need an oxygen-carrying fluid that can
be used to prime the heart-lung bypass machines that are used to mechanically
pump and oxygenate heart patients' blood. This procedure is known as
"cardioplegia." Surgeons currently use saline, dextrose or hydroxyethyl
starch solutions for this purpose, but these fluids can dilute the red blood
cells in the body, and thus decrease the ability of the blood to carry oxygen.
Moreover, the risk of infection from whole blood or its derivatives makes them
undesirable for use as priming fluids. PHER-O2's significant oxygen-carrying
ability and its sterility address both of these concerns.
The treatment of head and neck tumors is another promising
application for PHER-O2. Increased oxygenation of these tumors makes them
more susceptible to the effects of chemotherapeutic drugs. Another potential
benefit of PHER-O2, though little understood, is the ability of oxygen-rich
blood to cause a tumor to produce hydrogen peroxide, which in turn tends to
shrink the tumor.
Finally, the perfluoro-decalin molecule in PHER-O2 works as a
radiopaque agent in X-ray imaging and as a contrast agent in nuclear magnetic
resonance (NMR) imaging and CAT scans. However, unlike many
currently-available imaging agents, PHER-O2 has no known side effects.
Competition.
- ------------
Several other companies, both domestic and foreign, are working to
develop alternatives to human blood. They include: Alliance Pharmaceutical
Corporation (San Diego, California); Baxter International (Deerfield,
Illinois); Biopure Corporation (Boston, Massachusetts); Northfield Labs
(Chicago, Illinois); and Somatogen Corporation (Boulder, Colorado). These
competitors are involved in the development of a wide variety of human
blood substitutes, including synthetic compounds, recycled human blood and
recombinant hemoglobin. Neither the list of competitors nor the list of human
blood substitutes is exhaustive. Furthermore, many of the Company's existing
or potential competitors have significantly greater technical and financial
resources than the Company and may be better able to develop, test, produce
and market products. These competitors may develop products that are
competitive with or better than the Company's product and that may render the
Company's product obsolete. The Company can provide no assurance that it will
be able to compete successfully.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials.
- ------------------------------------------
The Company plans to purchase medical-grade perfluorocarbons and
surfactants from reliable vendors and to emulsify these ingredients in its own
facility. Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., PCR, Inc. and BNFL
Fluorochemicals, Ltd. are qualified medical grade perfluorocarbon vendors.
Surfactants are available through numerous vendors. Because intravenous
solutions plants are very expensive and FDA approval of such plants is a
lengthy process, the Company intends to hire a third party to package the
product in sterile plastic bags with intravenous sets attached. Abbott
Laboratories, Baxter, McGaw, Fresenius and Kabi are a few of the companies
with the qualifications and capacity to perform this function; however, the
Company can provide no assurances that any of these ingredients or services
will be available or that they will be available at prices that are low enough
to make the Company's operations profitable.
Most of the Company's potential competitors have a severe shortage
of raw materials, namely the outdated blood that is required to produce their
products.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or
Labor Contracts.
- ----------------
Assuming the Company's product is proven efficacious for one or more
applications and receives requisite regulatory approval, the Company's success
will depend in part on its ability to obtain patents, protect trade secrets
and avoid infringing the proprietary rights of others. On September 28, 1992,
Sanguine California filed a patent application for the PHER-O2 surfactant and
micro-emulsion technology with the U.S. Patent Office and received patent
pending status on the same date. In 1994, the Company and Battelle Memorial
Research Institute developed three other proprietary synthetic blood compounds
using newly developed surfactants, for which the Company intends to file the
necessary patent applications. However, the patent position of biotechnology
companies in general is highly uncertain and involves complicated factual and
legal questions. The Company can provide no assurance that it will receive a
patent for PHER-O2 or any other property for which a patent is sought. Nor can
the Company provide any assurance that any issued patents will give it any
competitive advantage, that competitors' patents will not adversely affect the
Company's business, or that competitors will not develop similar products that
are beyond the scope of the Company's patents.
On March 28, 1991, Sanguine California and BioLogix, entered into a
10-year License Agreement whereby Sanguine California granted to BioLogix
certain license rights to manufacture and market PHER-O2 (the "License
Agreement"). Under the License Agreement, as amended on September 28, 1991,
Sanguine California granted to BioLogix the exclusive right to manufacture and
market PHER-O2 in Canada, including any future Canadian patent rights, and the
exclusive right to market PHER-O2 in U.S. military pre-hospital markets (i.e.,
non-hospital emergency markets such as ambulances, fire and rescue vehicles
and out-patient clinics). The consideration for these rights was the payment
by BioLogix to Sanguine California of $100,000.
The amended License Agreement also granted BioLogix the right to
purchase for $200,000 a "co-exclusive license" with Sanguine California to
market PHER-O2 in all American pre-hospital markets. Only $50,000 of this
amount was paid and the right to purchase the co-exclusive license expired on
March 31, 1992. Finally, the License Agreement, as amended, provided for the
payment of royalties equal to 10 percent of gross sales revenues for PHER-O2
by the party selling PHER-O2 pursuant to the License Agreement to the
non-selling party.
On December 9, 1993, the Company entered into an Agreement with
Battelle Memorial Institute, through its Battelle Columbus Operations (the
"Battelle Agreement"), for research and development of the use of surfactants
to form a stable microemulsion using the Company's perfluorocarbon for use as
a blood substitute. Terms under the initial Battelle Agreement provided for
the payment of $62,500 by the Company for these services, and an additional
$162,500 under an extension dated April 7, 1994 (the "Battelle Extension").
The Company retains all rights to any inventions discovered; Battelle is
required to provide periodic reports to the Company and keep all information
confidential; and either party may terminate the Battelle Agreement on fifteen
days' written notice, and Battelle may terminate on ten days' written notice
of default in any payment due from the Company, unless payment is received.
In the event of termination, Battelle is required to provide the Company with
all reports, materials or other deliverable items available as of such date.
Continued research and development of PHER-O2 will depend upon the
Company's receipt of substantial additional debt or equity funding, as to
which no assurance can be given.
Governmental Approval of Principal Products or Services.
- --------------------------------------------------------
FDA and comparable foreign agencies require laboratory testing,
clinical testing and other costly and time-consuming procedures before
biomedical products such as PHER-O2 can be marketed. To date, the Company has
not begun any of these procedures. The Company's plan for obtaining FDA and
overseas approval of PHER-O2 is set forth under the caption "Plan of
Operation."
The Company can provide no assurance that these testing procedures
will be successfully completed, that if completed, they will show PHER-O2 to
be safe and efficacious or that any required governmental approvals will be
obtained. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will ever
be permitted to market PHER-O2 in the United States or most foreign countries.
The same holds true for any other products that the Company may develop. See
the caption "Effects of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations" of this
Item.
Effects of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations.
- ---------------------------------------------------------
Regulation by governmental authorities in the United States and
foreign countries will significantly affect the Company's ability to
manufacture and market its product and to conduct its ongoing research and
product development activities. The Company's only product, PHER-O2, will
require regulatory approval by appropriate governmental agencies before it can
be commercialized. Human therapeutic products are subject to rigorous pre-
clinical and clinical testing and other approval procedures by the FDA and
similar health authorities in foreign countries. Various federal, state and
foreign statutes also govern or influence the manufacturing, safety, labeling,
storage, record-keeping and marketing of such products. The process of
obtaining these approvals is costly and time consuming. Further, ongoing
compliance with these requirements can require the expenditure of substantial
resources. Any failure by the Company or its collaborators or licensees to
obtain, or delay in obtaining, required regulatory approvals would adversely
affect the marketing of the Company's product and its ability to derive
product or royalty revenue.
Pre-clinical testing is generally conducted in animal or in vitro
models to evaluate the potential efficacy and safety of a compound before it
is administered to humans. The results of these studies are submitted to the
FDA as part of an Investigational New Drug application ("IND"), which must be
approved before human clinical testing can begin. No tests of any nature
whatsoever have yet been run on PHER-O2.
Clinical trials involve the administration of the investigational
new drug to healthy volunteers or to patients, under the supervision of a
qualified principal investigator. Clinical trials are conducted in accordance
with certain standards under protocols that detail the objectives of the
study, the parameters to be used to monitor safety and the efficacy criteria
to be evaluated. Each protocol must be submitted to the FDA as part of the
IND. Further, each clinical study must be conducted under the auspices of an
independent IRB at the institution at which the study will be conducted. The
IRB will consider, among other things, ethical factors, the safety of human
subjects and the possible liability of the institution.
Clinical trials are typically conducted in three sequential phases,
but the phases may overlap. In the first phase, the product is usually
infused into a limited number of human subjects and will be tested for safety
or adverse effects, dosage tolerance and pharmacokinetics (clinical
pharmacology). The second phase involves studies in a somewhat larger patient
population to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks and to begin
gathering preliminary efficacy data. The third phase of trials will be
undertaken to further evaluate clinical efficacy and to further test for
safety within an expanded patient population at geographically dispersed
clinical study sites. Although the Company believes its product is
substantially different from other blood substitute products, there can be no
assurance that the Company will not encounter problems in clinical trials
which will cause the Company to delay or suspend clinical trials.
In the case of biologic products such as PHER-O2, the results of
pharmaceutical development and the pre-clinical and clinical testing are
submitted to the FDA in the form of a Product License Application ("PLA"),
which must be approved before commercial sales may begin. The Company must
also file an Establishment License Application ("ELA") which describes the
manufacturing process for the product and the facility at which the product
will be produced. The FDA may respond to the PLA and the ELA by granting a
license for the manufacture of the product from a designated facility and
the commercial sale of the product or by denying the application if it finds
that the application does not meet the criteria for regulatory approval,
requires additional testing or information or requires post-marketing testing
and surveillance to monitor the safety of the Company's product if they do not
view the PLA as containing adequate evidence of the safety and efficacy of the
drug. Notwithstanding the submission of such data, the FDA may ultimately
decide that the application does not satisfy its regulatory criteria for
approval. The testing and approval process is likely to require substantial
time and effort. There can be no assurance that approval will be granted for
the Company's product or its proposed facilities on a timely basis, if at all.
In addition to regulations enforced by the FDA, the Company may also
be subject to regulation under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the
Environmental Protection Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the
Clean Air Act, the Medical Waste Tracking Act, the federal Water Pollution
Control Act and other present and potential future federal, state and local
regulations.
Cost and Effect of Compliance with Environmental Laws.
- ------------------------------------------------------
Management believes all of the substances making up PHER-O2 are
non-toxic and that no toxic or hazardous materials will be byproducts of the
manufacturing process of PHER-O2. PHER-O2 is totally inert. Accordingly,
management does not believe the Company will have any material expenditures
related to the cost of compliance with applicable environmental laws, rules or
regulations.
Research and Development Expenses.
- ----------------------------------
In calendar years 1993, 1994 and 1995, the Company, through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Sanguine California, expended a total of $300,979 on
research and development. As neither the Company nor Sanguine California
presently has any customers, none of the cost of these activities was borne
directly by customers.
Number of Employees.
- --------------------
The Company presently has three employees, Dr. Drees and Messrs.
Hargreaves and Nicholas, all of whom are employed full time. Once the
development of PHER-O2 is completed and the Company commences initial animal
testing and manufacturing of this product for these tests, additional
employees will be required; the Company is unable to presently estimate the
exact number of employees it may need for these services; however, see the
caption "Plan of Operation."
Item 2. Description of Property.
------------------------
The Company leases approximately 970 square feet of office space
located at 101 East Green Street, Suite 11, Pasadena California, 91105, at a
base rent of $1308 per month.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
------------------
Except as indicated below, to the knowledge of management, during
the past five years, no present or former director, executive officer, or
person nominated to become a director or an executive officer of the Company:
(1) Filed a petition under the federal bankruptcy laws or any state
insolvency law, nor had a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer appointed

(4) Was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil
action, by the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission to have violated any federal or state securities law, and

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
----------------------------------------------------
No matter was submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders
during the fourth quarter of the calendar year covered by this Report.
However, on March 11, 1996, which is subsequent to the period covered by this
Report, Thomas D. Drees, Ph.D., and Anthony G. Hargreaves, who collectively
held in excess of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the
Company's common stock, acting without a meeting pursuant to Section 78.320 of
the Nevada Revised Statutes, resolved to elect Holomon J. Nicholas, II, and
David E. Nelson, CPA, to the Board of Directors of the Company, to serve until
the next annual meeting of stockholders or until their respective successors
are elected and qualified or their prior resignations or termination. See the
caption "Subsequent Events" of Part I, Item 1 of this Report.
PART II
Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.
---------------------------------------------------------
Market Information
- ------------------
Until the quarter ended June 30, 1994, and for at least five years
previously, there had been no "public market" for the shares of common stock
of the Company. The Company's common stock commenced to trade on the "OTC
Bulletin Board" of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
("NASD") in the second quarter of 1994; however, there is no "established
trading market" in these shares of common stock.
The range of high and low bid and asked quotations for the Company's
common stock during the final three quarters of the calendar year ended
December 31, 1994 and each quarter of the calendar year ended December 31,
1995, is shown below. Prices are inter-dealer quotations as reported by the
NASD and do not necessarily reflect transactions, retail markups, mark downs
or commissions.

* The future sale of presently outstanding "unregistered" and
"restricted" common stock of the Company by present members of
management and persons who own more than five percent of the
outstanding voting securities of the Company may have an
adverse effect on any market that may develop in the shares of
common stock of the Company.
Holders
- -------
The number of record holders of the Company's common stock as of May
9, 1996 was approximately 461.
Dividends
- ---------
The Company has not declared any cash dividends with respect to its
common stock, and does not intend to declare dividends in the foreseeable
future. The present intention of management is to utilize all available funds
for the development of the Company's business. There are no material
restrictions limiting, or that are likely to limit, the Company's ability to
pay dividends on its common stock.
Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
----------------------------------------------------------
Plan of Operation.
- ------------------
The Company's proposed plan of operation is composed of three
"phases," each of which coincides with a specific milestone in the process of
developing PHER-O2. These phases (which will begin subject to available
funding), and the projected cost of each phase, are as follows:
Phase I (approximately two years): In the first year, the Company
plans to complete the development of perfluoro-decalin and the
synthetic surfactants that make up PHER-O2, manufacture experimental
doses and perform preliminary animal tests in accordance with FDA
and overseas regulations. In the second year, the Company intends
to continue developing the perfluorocarbon compounds in PHER-O2 in
order to produce optimal qualities and to conduct animal safety and
efficacy trials in accordance with FDA and overseas requirements.
During the course of Phase I, the Company estimates that its
increased technical, administrative, sales/marketing and
manufacturing requirements will necessitate the hiring of additional
employees.
Phase II (approximately one year): In the third year, the Company
intends to prepare Investigational New Drug applications for FDA and
European approval, conduct trials for cardioplegia, cancer treatment
and cardiology treatment in the United States and conduct
transfusion trials offshore. During this period, the Company also
plans to submit license applications for transfusion with overseas
authorities, begin production of PHER-O2 itself or with its
subcontractors and submit a New Drug Application for PHER-O2 in the
United States. During the course of Phase II, the Company estimates
that it will need to hire additional employees.
Phase III (approximately two years): In the fourth year, the
Company plans to complete overseas testing of PHER-O2, begin sales
in Europe and other overseas areas that may have approved PHER-O2 by
this time and may begin construction of its facility for
manufacturing, storing, inspecting and shipping PHER-O2. During the
course of Phase III, the Company estimates that it will need to hire
additional employees. During the fifth year, the Company plans to
complete testing of PHER-O2 in the United States and receive all
necessary FDA approvals and begin American and Canadian sales for
cancer treatment and angioplasty. During this period, the Company
also plans to complete construction of its manufacturing facility
and continue trials of other PHER-O2 applications, including
transplant organ preservation and treatment of carbon monoxide
poisoning, sickle cell anemia, stroke and heart attack. During the
course of the fifth year, Phase III, the Company estimates that it
will need to hire additional employees.
The foregoing cost estimates are based on the prior experiences of
Dr. Thomas C. Drees, the Company's CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Dr. Drees has more than 20 years' experience in the blood industry. See the
caption "Business Experience" of Part I, Item 5.
The Company's Plan of Operation for the next twelve months is to
begin Phase I of its business plan; i.e., to complete the synthesis of the
PHER-O2 surfactant and its emulsion with perfluoro-decalin, to manufacture
experimental doses of PHER-O2 and to perform preliminary animal tests in
accordance with FDA and comparable foreign overseas regulations. The ability
to commence and to carry out this plan is dependent upon the Company's ability
to obtain substantial equity or debt financing, as to which no assurance can
be given.
Results of Operations.
- ----------------------
Revenues for the calendar years ending December 31, 1994 and 1995,
were $171 and $6, respectively, all of which was interest income.
The Company had a net loss from operations of $230,779 (a loss of
$0.01 per share) as of December 31, 1994, and a net loss from operations of
$366,843 (a loss of $0.02 per share) for the year ending December 31, 1995.
Liquidity.
- ----------
During the calendar year ended December 31, 1994, the Company had
expenses of $230,950, while receiving $171 in revenues; the Company received
approximately $6 in revenues, and the Company had total expenses of $366,849
during the calendar year ended December 31, 1995.
The Company is currently unable to pay its debts as they become due.
These debts include three notes payable, totalling approximately $40,000,
which the Company is unable to pay. The continuation of the Company's
proposed business operations are subject to the ability of the Company to
raise substantial additional funding, as to which no assurance can be given.

(2) The Board of Directors of the Company unanimously resolved on November
13, 1995, to issue 200,000 "unregistered" and "restricted" shares of the
Company's common stock to Mr. Nicholas if and when he is successful in
raising at least $5,000,000 in funding for the Company in the 12 to 18
month period following the date of the resolution, and an additional
200,000 "unregistered" and "restricted" shares to be issued to Mr.
Nicholas if and when he is successful in raising at least $10,000,000 in
funding for the Company in the 12 to 18 month period following the date
of the resolution, all on satisfactory terms to the Board of Directors
of the Company. As of the date of this Report, none of these shares has
been issued pending the satisfaction of each contingency. See Item 1 of
this Report.
(3) On November 13, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously
resolved that the Company issue 100,000 "unregistered" and
"restricted" shares of its common stock in consideration of Mr.
Nicholas' immediate consent to serve as President and Chief Operations
Officer of the Company. Due to the lack of any "established trading
market" in the securities of the Company, these shares have been
valued at par value, which is one mill ($0.001) per share. See Item 1
of this Report.
(4) On June 1, 1994, in connection with the execution of an Employment
Agreement between the Company and Edward L. Kunkel, Esq., the

"unregistered" and "restricted" shares of the Company's common
stock, exercisable in whole or in part until May 31, 1997. The price per
share of these shares equals the average low bid price per share as
quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board of the NASD on June 1, 1994. As of the
date of this Report, the option has not been exercised in whole
or in part. See the caption "Employment Contracts," herein.

Effective June 15, 1994, the Board of Directors, by unanimous
written consent pursuant to Section 78-315 of the Nevada Revised Statutes,
adopted, ratified and approved resolutions providing for payment of the sum of

option of each director, may be paid in "unregistered" and "restricted" shares
of common stock of the Company. Directors shall also be reimbursed for direct
out-of-pocket expenses for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors
and for expenses incurred for and on behalf of the Company.
Due to lack of funding, the Company has not made any payments
pursuant to the above referenced resolutions. No such payments will be made
until the Company has received substantial additional funding, as to which no
assurance can be given.
Employment Contracts
- --------------------
On January 22, 1990, Sanguine California entered into two Employment
Agreements, one with Dr. Thomas C. Drees for services as President, Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, and one with
Anthony G. Hargreaves for services as Vice President and Director
(collectively, the "Employees"). The Employment Agreements provided for the
employment of the Employees for seven years, commencing on January 22, 1990
(the "Employment Term").
In consideration of his exclusive service to Sanguine California,
each Employee was to receive the following: (1) an adjustable base salary
(starting at $120,000 for Dr. Drees and $72,000 for Mr. Hargreaves);
(2) inclusion in all incentive, stock option, 401(k) and similar plans,
including one percent of Sanguine California's pre-tax profit;
(3) entitlement to all perquisites that are available to employees of
similar station, including financial consulting, legal assistance
and security; (4) payment of all costs incurred in connection with the
Employees' maintenance of home offices, including qualified entertainment
expenses, business telephone charges and home security devices;
(5) payment of initiation fees, regular dues and expenses relating
to membership in a business, social or country club; (6)use of a
new automobile of the Employee's choice, payment of all operating
expenses and automobile liability insurance; (7) reimbursement of
reasonable business expenses, including travel and entertainment;
(8) group life insurance equal to six times annual compensation and
accidental death and dismemberment equal to ten times annual
compensation; and (9) disability insurance providing for payments, in the
event of disability, until the Employee reaches age 70 (for Dr. Drees) or age
71 (for Mr. Hargreaves). In addition, in the event of an Employee's death
during the Employment Term, Sanguine California agreed to pay to each
Employee's widow, designee or estate the Employee's base salary for the
remainder of the Employment Term.
Neither of the Employment Agreements was enforced, and both
Employment Agreements were cancelled by the Company's Board of Directors on
May 31, 1993. On September 23, 1993, the Board of Directors reinstated both
Employment Agreements for a seven-year period commencing on August 1, 1993.
On June 2, 1994, pursuant to a Letter Agreement addressed to the
Company and accepted by the Company on June 3, 1994, and adopted, ratified and
approved by written consent by persons owning a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Company pursuant to Section 78-320 of the Nevada
Revised Statutes (Dr. Drees, Mr. Hargreaves and A. Smith Associates were the
persons or entities signing the written consent), it was agreed that the
salaries provided in these Employment Agreements would not commence until June
1, 1994, and that no salaries had accrued or were payable under these
Employment Agreements prior to such date; that for the months of June, July
and August, 1994, the salaries payable under these Employment Agreements would
be one-fourth of the amounts provided therein; and that commencing September
1, 1994, the salaries payable under these Employment Agreements would be
one-half of the amounts provided therein, and would continue at such rate
until the Company shall have raised not less than the sum of $1,500,000 in
debt or equity financing, with all funds raised since the completion of the
Sanguine Plan being computed in arriving at the sum of $1,500,000 required to
be raised.
As of December 31, 1995, a total of $140,000 in salaries had accrued
to Messrs. Drees and Hargreaves pursuant to the above referenced Letter
Agreement. No payments have been made pending the receipt of additional
funding, as to which no assurance can be given.
The Company and Edward L. Kunkel, who is a director of the Company,
executed an Employment Agreement on June 1, 1994 (the "Kunkel Agreement").
The Kunkel Agreement provided for Mr. Kunkel to receive compensation equal to
$500 per month or $500 worth of the Company's "unregistered" and "restricted"
common stock, provided that no compensation was to be payable until such time
as the Company had received operating funds totalling at least $1,000,000
cash. No such compensation has yet been paid due to the Company's inability
to obtain such funding. The term of the Kunkel Agreement was one year from
the date of its execution, subject to renewal by the parties. As of the date
of this Report, the Kunkel Agreement has not been renewed.
The Kunkel Agreement further irrevocably granted to Mr. Kunkel the
option to purchase 10,000 "unregistered" and "restricted" shares of the
Company's common stock, exercisable in whole or in part until May 31, 1997.
The price per share of these shares equals the average low bid price per share
as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board of the NASD on June 1, 1994. As of the
date of this Report, the option has not been exercised in whole or in part.

Independent Auditors Report
Board of Directors
Sanguine Corporation
(A Development Stage Company)
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Sanguine Corporation,
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders equity, and cash flows for the accumulated period of January 18,
1989 to December 31, 1995, and the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and
1993. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company s
management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statements presentation. I believe that my audit provides a
reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the aforementioned financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Sanguine Corporation, as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the accumulated period of January 18, 1989 to December 31, 1995, and
the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE #1 - Corporate History
The Company was incorporated January 27, 1974, in the State of Utah,
using the name Sight and Sound Systems, Inc. On July 8, 1974, the Company
changed its name to International Health Resorts, Inc., and on June 25, 1993,
the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment changing the name to Sanguine
Corporation. In May of 1992, the Company changed its domicile to the State of
Nevada.
The stated purpose of the Company is to engage without qualification, in
any lawful acts, or activity for which a corporation may be organized under
the laws of the state of Nevada. Currently, the Company is engaged in
developing artificial blood to be used by the medical profession. The Company
is conducting research and development leading to F.D.A. clinical trials.
The Company forward split its outstanding shares 1.5 shares for 1 on July
14, 1993. As a consequence of this action, the Company had 1,431,000 shares
issued and outstanding prior to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization in
which Sanguine Corporation (a California Corporation) was acquired.
On June 14, 1993 the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization, wherein it was agreed that Sanguine Corporation (a Nevada
Corporation) would issue 14,589,775 shares of its common stock to acquire 94%
of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of Sanguine Corporation (a
California Corporation).
From 1974 to 1989, the Company engaged in several business ventures.
These business activities resulted in the loss of all Company assets. Because
of the search for a new business venture, the Company has entered into the
development stage company status again. Sanguine Corporation (California) is
a development stage company and these financial statements are presented as
those of a development stage company effective January 18, 1989, coinciding
with the incorporation date of Sanguine Corporation (California).
NOTE #2 - Significant Accounting Policies
(A) The Company uses the accrual method of accounting.
(B) Revenues and expenses are recognized in the period in which the
activities occur.
(C) The Company considers all short term, highly liquid investments that
are readily convertible to known amounts, within ninety days as
cash. The Company currently has no liquid investments.
(D) Depreciation on Company assets is made over the estimated useful
life of the asset using the straight line method.
