Note 4: Income Taxes
The Company records its income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes". The Company incurred net operating losses for all
periods presented resulting in a deferred tax asset, which was fully allowed for

Note 5: Stock Awards
During the year ended May 31, 2004, the Company committed to grant a financial

stock. The warrants carry an exercise price of $.30 per share, vest on the date
of grant and expire after five years from the date of grant. The warrants were
granted on November 25, 2004 and, once exercised, the common shares underlying
the warrants have been registered under the Company's SB-2 filing. No warrants
have yet been exercised.
The Company's common stock had no traded market value on the date of grant. The
market value of the stock was determined to be $.30 per share base on
contemporaneous sales of common stock to unrelated third party investors. The
weighted average exercise price and weighted average fair value of these options
as of November 30, 2004 were $0.30 and $0.028, respectively.
The fair value for the options granted during the six months ended November 30,
2004 was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model with the following assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate...................... 2.00%
Dividend yield............................... 0.00%
Volatility factor............................ 0.00%
Weighted average expected life............... 5 years

Note 6: Research and Development
The Company's director, Peggy C. Pence, PhD., is the President and Chief
Executive Officer of Symbion Research International, Inc. ("Symbion"). On
January 5, 2005, the Company entered into a buy-sell agreement to purchase
certain intellectual property owned by Symbion. The agreement describes the
intellectual property in detail which summarized, is the Phase 1 clinical data
and the protocol for the Phase II study. This intellectual property is necessary
to obtain approval for, and to conduct, further FDA clinical tests of Cytolin.
Cytolin is a potential new drug being developed by the Company for the treatment
of Human Immunodeficiency Virus ("HIV") disease.
Under the terms of this agreement:
- - The Company may purchase Symbion's Phase I clinical data in connection with
obtaining approval from the FDA to conduct the Phase II/Phase III studies
for Cytolin.
- - The Company will grant 83,122 non-qualified stock options with an exercise
price of $.75 per share that will vest immediately and be exercisable over
5 years.
- - The Company will pay $25,000 to Symbion by February 10, 2005, 30 days after
execution of the agreement.
- - The Company will pay $275,000 to Symbion once the Company's secondary
financing is received.
The Company paid Symbion $25,000 out of loan proceeds received in March 2005.
Although the payment was late, Symbion has accepted it and the contract is in
force. In the event the Company's shareholders do not approve the company's
option plan by December 31, 2005, the Company will pay Symbion $62,342.
The results of the Phase II/III studies for Cytolin shall be the sole property
of the Company upon Symbion's receipt of the final payment called for by this
agreement. If all remaining payments are not received, the property shall revert
to Symbion.
Note 7: Commitments
The Company has signed Personal Service Agreements with three officers that
cover the two years ended May 31, 2005 and 2006. Under the terms of the
agreements, if an officer is terminated by the Company without cause or

Note 9: Litigation
CytoDyn of New Mexico, Inc. et al., v. Amerimmune Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al.,
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Case number BC 290154, California Superior Court in and for the County of Los
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angeles.
- --------
The First Amended and Supplemental Complaint alleged causes of action for unfair
business competition, inducement of breach of contract, fraud and unjust
enrichment, and declaratory and equitable relief. This case was dismissed due to
the attorney's lack of attention to the case. The judge stated that the evidence
was not presented in an orderly and logical fashion. The company may appeal this
case given the costs associated with it and the relief awarded to us in the case
below.
Rex H. Lewis, a Defendant and former director and C.E.O. of Amerimmune
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has filed a First Amended Cross-Complaint against CytoDyn
of New Mexico, Inc., Allen D. Allen, Corinne E. Allen, Ronald J. Tropp, Brian J.
McMahon , Daniel M. Stickland, M.D. and unknown others designated as "Does
101-150".
Mr. Lewis alleges, among other things, misrepresentations or failure to make
disclosures related to Cytolin and its development, approval and marketing;
10
interference with Amerimmune's attempt to complete clinical research related to
Cytolin and Mr. Lewis' actual or prospective business relationships; and libel
and slander of Mr. Lewis.
Currently the Cross-Complaint asserts causes of action for fraud, interference
with prospective business interests, libel and slander. The requested relief
includes damages (alleged to range from $3 million to $20 million or more),
punitive damages, costs and other "just and proper" relief.
The outcome of litigation is uncertain. Management believes that an unfavorable
result is unlikely with respect to the claims raised by the Complaint, and that
the claims raised by the Cross-Complaint are without merit. The defendants have
retained new counsel which are the same attorney's that represented us in the
following case that was decided in our favor.
Discovery is continuing. Trial is scheduled for June 2005.
CytoDyn, Inc., et al. v. Amerimmune, Inc. et al., Case number SC039250,
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
California Superior Court in and for the County of Ventura.
- ----------------------------------------------------------
The Declaratory Relief Sought and Attorneys' Fees Were Awarded.
The action was filed on April 21, 2004. CytoDyn and Allen D. Allen were the
plaintiffs. The defendants were Amerimmune Inc., its parent Amerimmune
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and unknown others designated as "Does 1-100".
The action concerned a Conditional License Agreement, dated February 24, 2000,
between Allen D. Allen and CytoDyn of New Mexico, on one hand, and Amerimmune,
Inc., on the other. The complaint alleged that the Conditional License Agreement
licensed to the defendants technology and patents related to Cytolin and
assigned to defendants an FDA approved investigational new drug application
related to Cytolin. Further, it alleged that the defendants breached the
Conditional License Agreement, resulting in its termination.
The principal relief sought was a declaration that the license granted and the
assignment of the technology, patents and drug application made pursuant to the
Conditional License Agreement were terminated no later than September 12, 2001,
and that Allen and we are the owners of the technology, patents and
investigational new drug application, free of any claims of the defendants.
Costs, attorney's fees, and other "just and proper" relief also were sought.
This case was decided in favor of the plaintiffs, CytoDyn and Allen October 4,
2004.
Symbion Research International, Inc., v. Amerimmune, Inc. et al., Case number
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SC035668, California Superior Court in and for the County of Ventura.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
The complaint was filed on March 14, 2003. Symbion Research International, Inc
was the plaintiff. Amerimmune, Inc. was the remaining defendant. We were not a
party to this action, however the action affects intellectual property which is
important to us.
A default judgment was entered on December 18, 2003. A judgment was entered in
favor of Symbion Research International ("Symbion") on September 17, 2004
granting the declarative relief sought by Symbion.
The action concerned intellectual property generated in connection with services
provided by Symbion with respect to early phase FDA clinical trials of Cytolin,
including research data and a patent application filed in 2002. The complaint
alleged that Symbion performed early phase FDA trials (designated in the
11
Complaint as "Phase Ia" and "Phase Ib/II", on behalf of Amerimmune pursuant to
an oral agreement, and that Amerimmune failed to pay Symbion for its services,
and otherwise breached its obligations under the agreement.
The complaint asserted causes of action for breach of oral contract, account
stated, work and labor done, fraud, and declaratory and injunctive relief. The
relief sought included a declaration that Symbion is the owner of the
intellectual property resulting from the services provided by Symbion.
The intellectual property generated in the early phase FDA clinical trials is
necessary to obtain approval for, and to conduct, further FDA clinical tests of
Cytolin. Because a satisfactory result was obtained in this action, we have
negotiated an agreement with Symbion that will allow the use in subsequent
phases of clinical test of Cytolin of the research data generated in the early
phases. CytoDyn will purchase this data from Symbion in order to apply for FDA
registration of Cytolin.
Note 10: Subsequent Events
During March 2005, the Company issued promissory notes payable for proceeds of
$36,000. The notes carry a 5% interest rate and mature one year from the date of
the note.
During March 2005, the Company paid Symbion $25,000 toward its Buy-Sell
Agreement (see Note 6).
Part I. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
- ------- ---------------------------------------------------------
Plan of Operation
During the next 12 months, our objectives are:
o to continue clinical trials of Cytolin;
o to continue our efforts to protect our technology by obtaining
additional patents in The United Kingdom, the European Union and Hong
Kong;
o to develop an established market for our shares,
o to raise funds to support our research and development efforts, the
clinical trials relating to Cytolin, and our general and
administrative expenses; and
o to explore joint venture arrangements for other possible
pharmaceutical products.
Continuing Clinical Trials:
Phase I clinical trials were conducted by Symbion Research International under
the sponsorship of Amerimmune, Inc. during 2002. We believe that the data from
these trials support approval by the FDA of Phase II trials.
Projected costs to complete our research and development and to obtain FDA
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
approval of a BLA:
- -----------------
We have negotiated with Symbion International for the right to use the Phase 1
data for a total of $362,000 and to seek approval for the Phase II trials from
the FDA. If the Phase II/III study is approved by the FDA, we expect it,
together with the pre-Phase II/III efforts, to cost an estimated $2,050,000 to
$3,350,000 for Symbion to conduct the clinical trials, plus estimated
manufacturing and supply costs of $350,000 to $400,000 and $362,000 for the
Phase Ia/b data for a total of $2,762,000 to $4,112,000.
12
Timing and anticipated completion dates for research and development.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
These trials can take anywhere from 29 to 42 months. Until we have met with the
FDA, which we plan to do within the next six months, we cannot be certain what
additional studies, assuming that Phase II/III study supports the efficacy and
safety of Cytolin, will be required to receive marketing approval The completion
of a Phase II/III Pivotal Study would allow the submission of a marketing
application and if approved, would allow us to market Cytolin in the United
States.
Date we expect to begin benefiting from the product:
- ----------------------------------------------------
We expect to complete our research and development of all Cytolin clinical
trials needed for approval of a marketing application if at all by December
2008.
Risks and uncertainties associated with completing development within reasonable
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
period of time and if products are not completed on a timely basis:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
Even if we are able to complete the development within a reasonable period of
time our competitors could still come out with something competitive to our
product. Toxicity in the product could go undetected until Phase IV Safety
Surveillance after drug approval. We may have to continue to litigate to protect
technology, or challenges to patents that have not yet expired, etc. The medical
community may lack of acceptance of our product. There may be an inability to
secure third party payees such as if Medicare would cover costs. Post
registration manufacturing problems or downturn of economy or industry could
also be risks.
If we are unable to complete clinical trials on a timely basis, with favorable
results, our costs will increase significantly and we may not have enough
capital to support further research and development and continue in business.
Also, if we incur significant delays in being able to market our product, even
if we are ultimately able to do so, we will be delayed in earning revenues and
probably will require additional financing to continue in business.
Patents
During fiscal year 2004, several European patents were granted. The new patents
are covered by our License Agreement with Allen D. Allen, our president that
gives us the exclusive right to develop his technology worldwide. These patents
are designated European Patent No. 94 912826.8, for the United Kingdom, Germany,
France, Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden, and
are the counterparts to our United States Patent No. 5424066. Patents are
pending in those same countries which, if granted, will be the equivalent of our
United States Patent No. 5651970. We estimate the costs associated with these
pending patents to be approximately $65,000, including amounts we have already
spent. We may file additional patents during the current fiscal year if our
research and development efforts warrant them, but we do not have any such
potential patents identified at this time. The license acquired gives us the
right to develop Mr. Allen's worldwide patents.
Litigation
For a thorough discussion of our pending litigation, please see the section
entitled "Legal Proceedings." In Part 2, Item 1.
We were plaintiffs in two pending cases, CytoDyn of New Mexico, Inc. et. al., v.
Amerimmune Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al., Case number BC290154 and the other in
Ventura County, in a case captioned CytoDyn, Inc., et al. v. Amerimmune, Inc. et
al., Case number SC039250., each involving our rights to the patented technology
underlying Cytolin and any other products we might wish to develop. The first
case was dismissed and the second case was decided in our favor.
13
Establishing a Market and Obtaining Funding
We will require funding during the 2005 fiscal year in order to continue with
research and development efforts and to stay in business. Additional funding
will have to occur within the next twelve months in order to continue
operations. The amount of that funding is directly related to the clinical
trials we are able to conduct and the amounts we will need to continue
operations.
In addition to operating funds, we will need from approximately $2,762,000 to
$4,112,000 for research and development, including clinical trials, and
manufacturing and supply costs, depending upon whether we are approved by the
FDA to conduct a Phase II/III pivotal study.
We borrowed $121,000 from certain individuals who are friends and business
acquaintances of the officers and directors of the Company in March 2005. The
company issued promissory notes in exchange for the borrowed funds. The notes
carry 5% interest and are due by March 9, 2006. In addition to operating funds
and clinical trial funds the company will need to raise the funds to repay these
notes.
We do not have any of this funding arranged or secured, and we do not yet have
plans for raising the funding we require. We anticipate that we will seek the
funding through further equity offerings, either by private placement or by
registered offering, or by possible joint venture arrangements with other
parties. If we are unable to secure the necessary funding, we will not be able
to conduct our research and development activities or to continue in business.
Joint Ventures
Buy-Sell Agreement with Symbion Research International. Effective January 5,
2005.
Our director, Peggy C. Pence, PhD., is the President and Chief Executive Officer
of Symbion Research International, Inc. On January 5, 2005, we entered into a
buy-sell agreement to purchase intellectual property owned by Symbion. The
agreement describes the intellectual property in detail which summarized, is the
Phase 1 clinical data and the protocol for the Phase II study. Under the terms
of this agreement:
- - CytoDyn, Inc may purchase Symbion's Phase I clinical data in connection
with obtaining approval from the FDA to conduct the Phase II/Phase III
studies for Cytolin.
- - CytoDyn, Inc will grant 83,122 non-qualified stock options with an exercise
price of $.75 per share that will vest immediately and be exercisable over
5 years.
- - CytoDyn, Inc will pay $25,000 to Symbion by February 10, 2005, 30 days
after execution of the agreement.
- - CytoDyn, Inc will pay $275,000 to Symbion once our secondary financing is
received.
We have paid Symbion $25,000 out of the loan proceeds we received in March 2005.
Although the payment was late, Symbion has accepted it and the contract is in
force.
In the event the shareholders do not approve the company's option plan by
December 31, 2005, CytoDyn, Inc will pay Symbion $62,341.50 in U.S. dollars.
The results of the Phase II/III studies for Cytolin shall be the sole property
of CytoDyn, Inc upon Symbion's receipt of the final payment called for by this
agreement. If all remaining payments are not received, the property shall revert
to Symbion.

Exploring Other Joint Ventures
While we continue to pursue FDA approval of our Cytolin product, we are also
considering entering into joint ventures to develop other types of products. We
have, for instance, entered into a nondisclosure agreement with another
development stage biotech company to discuss the possibility of the joint
development of drugs to treat neuropsychiatric diseases or disorders. These
discussions are in the early stages and we do not know if we will enter into a
joint venture or other arrangement with this company or if any products might
ensue from our efforts.
We may also pursue joint ventures or other arrangements to obtain funding for
our Cytolin-related endeavors, but we have not pursued this possibility and do
not have any prospects at this time.
Other Matters
We do not expect, in the next 12 months, to make any significant expenditures
for equipment. We will continue to staff the company as funds become available.
However, currently, we have no plans for significant changes in number of
employees.
Part I. Item 3. Controls and Procedures
- ------- -----------------------
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
------------------------------------------------
We maintain controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon their evaluation
of those controls and procedures performed within 90 days of the filing
date of this report, our chief executive officer and the chief
financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were adequate.
(b) Changes in internal controls
----------------------------
There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to
the date of the evaluation of those controls by the chief executive
officer and chief financial officer.
Part 2. Other Information

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings.
CytoDyn of New Mexico, Inc. et al., v. Amerimmune Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al.,
Case number BC 290154, California Superior Court in and for the County of Los
Angeles
The First Amended and Supplemental Complaint alleged causes of action for unfair
business competition, inducement of breach of contract, fraud and unjust
enrichment, and declaratory and equitable relief. This case was dismissed due to
the attorney's lack of attention to the case. The judge stated that the evidence
was not presented in an orderly and logical fashion. The company may appeal this
case given the costs associated with it and the relief awarded to us in the case
below.
15
Rex H. Lewis, a Defendant and former director and C.E.O. of Amerimmune
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has filed a First Amended Cross-Complaint against CytoDyn
of New Mexico, Inc., Allen D. Allen, Corinne E. Allen, Ronald J. Tropp, Brian J.
McMahon , Daniel M. Stickland, M.D. and unknown others designated as "Does
101-150".
Mr. Lewis alleges, among other things, misrepresentations or failure to make
disclosures related to Cytolin and its development, approval and marketing;
interference with Amerimmune's attempt to complete clinical research related to
Cytolin and Mr. Lewis' actual or prospective business relationships; and libel
and slander of Mr. Lewis.
Currently the Cross-Complaint asserts causes of action for fraud, interference
with prospective business interests, libel and slander. The requested relief
includes damages (alleged to range from $3 million to $20 million or more),
punitive damages, costs and other "just and proper" relief.
The outcome of litigation is uncertain. Management believes that an unfavorable
result is unlikely with respect to the claims raised by the Complaint, and that
the claims raised by the Cross-Complaint are without merit. The defendants have
retained new counsel which are the same attorney's that represented us in the
following case that was decided in our favor.
Discovery is continuing. Trial is scheduled for June 2005.
CytoDyn, Inc., et al. v. Amerimmune, Inc. et al., Case number SC039250,
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
California Superior Court in and for the County of Ventura.
- -----------------------------------------------------------
The principal relief sought was a declaration that the license granted and the
assignment of the technology, patents and drug application made pursuant to the
Conditional License Agreement were terminated no later than September 12, 2001,
and that Allen and we are the owners of the technology, patents and
investigational new drug application, free of any claims of the defendants.
Costs, attorney's fees, and other "just and proper" relief also were sought.
This case was decided in favor of the plaintiffs, CytoDyn and Allen, on October
4, 2004 and the plaintiffs were awarded the declaratory relief sought and
attorneys' fees.
Symbion Research International, Inc., v. Amerimmune, Inc. et al., Case number
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SC035668, California Superior Court in and for the County of Ventura. We were
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
not a party to this action; however the action affects intellectual property
which is important to us.
A default was entered against Amerimmune, Inc. on December 18, 2003. A judgment
was entered in favor of Symbion International on September 17, 2004 granting the
declarative relief sought.
The intellectual property generated in the early phase FDA clinical trials is
necessary to obtain approval for, and to conduct, further FDA clinical tests of
Cytolin. Because a satisfactory result was obtained in this action, we
anticipate negotiating an agreement with Symbion that will allow the use in
subsequent phases of clinical test of Cytolin of the research data generated in
the early phases. CytoDyn will purchase this data for $362,000 as stated under a
purchase agreement, $25,000 will paid from the SB-2 registration proceeds,
83,122 stock options will be granted with an exercise price of $0.75 per share
and $275,000 will be due and payable once the secondary round of financing has
been received.
