Notes to the Financial Statements
March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
 

NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at March 31, 2010, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's September 30, 2009 audited financial statements.  The results of operations statement for the period ended March 31, 2010 is not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

The Company's financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that could change in the near term are impairment assessments, fair value of warrants and stock issued under cashless exercise of warrants.

NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary. This amendment to Topic 810 clarifies, but does not change, the scope of current US GAAP. It clarifies the decrease in ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10 and removes the potential conflict between guidance in that Subtopic and asset de-recognition and gain or loss recognition guidance that may exist in other US GAAP. An entity will be required to follow the amended guidance beginning in the period that it first adopts FAS 160 (now included in Subtopic 810-10). For those entities that have already adopted FAS 160, the amendments are effective at the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted FAS 160. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-02 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-01, Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This amendment to Topic 505 clarifies the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a limit on the amount of cash that will be distributed is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260. It is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and would be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-01 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Statement 167.

In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Statement 166.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-15, Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standard Codification for EITF 09-1.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-14, Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements. This update changed the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2009-14 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This update addressed the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than a combined unit and will be separated in more circumstances that under existing US GAAP. This amendment has eliminated that residual method of allocation. It is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2009-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). This update provides amendments to Topic 820 for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted in financial statements for earlier interim and annual periods that have not been issued. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2009-12 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In July 2009, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by EITF (Emerging Issues Task Force) issued EITF No. 09-1, (ASC Topic 470) "Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance" ("EITF 09-1"). The provisions of EITF 09-1, clarifies the accounting treatment and disclosure of share-lending arrangements that are classified as equity in the financial statements of the share lender. An example of a share-lending arrangement is an agreement between the Company (share lender) and an investment bank (share borrower) which allows the investment bank to use the loaned shares to enter into equity derivative contracts with investors. EITF 09-1 is effective for fiscal years that beginning on or after December 15, 2009 and requires retrospective application for all arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009. Share-lending arrangements that have been terminated as a result of counterparty default prior to December 15, 2009, but for which the entity has not reached a final settlement as of December 15, 2009 are within the scope. It is effective for share-lending arrangements entered into on or after the beginning of the first reporting period that begins on or after June 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the provisions of EITF 09-1 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
NOTE 4 – PATENT COSTS

Patent costs represent the capitalized purchase price of assets acquired in the secured party sale as part of the Company’s previously announced strategy to create a rollup of undervalued biotechnology companies and assets.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company had purchased $800,000 worth of biotechnology patents and other intellectual property.  In these acquisitions, the Company used approximately $300,000 in cash and issued a $500,000 convertible debenture for the remainder of the cost which is secured by the acquired assets.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Certain statements contained in this report, including, without limitation, statements containing the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” and words of similar import, constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 or by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its rules, regulations and releases, regarding the Company’s financial and business prospects. These forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements, which are being made pursuant to the provisions of such Act and with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of such Act. The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements it makes are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk.  For a general discussion of some of these risks in greater detail, see our “Risk Factors” in the Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A (the “Form 10-K/A”) to the annual report of Ohr Pharmaceutical, Inc. (the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 filed on January 19, 2010 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
History and Recent Events
 
Ohr Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“we”, “Ohr”, the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is a Delaware corporation that was organized on August 4, 2009, as successor to, BBM Holdings, Inc, (formerly Prime Resource, Inc., which was organized March 29, 2002) pursuant to a reincorporation merger. The reincorporation merger did not result in any material change in our business, offices, facilities, assets, liabilities, obligations or net worth, or our directors, officers or employees.
 
On March 19, 2009, the Company acquired in a secured party sale all the patents, related intellectual property, clinical data and other assets related to AVR118 (also known now as OHR/AVR118). OHR/AVR118 is in an ongoing Phase II trial for the treatment of cachexia. The Company also exercised its option to acquire the new technology and early stage pharmaceutical compounds from Dr. S. Z. Hirschman, who joined the Company as a consultant and Chief Scientific Advisor.

The Company acquired OHR/AVR118 and related assets in a secured party sale with $100,000 in cash and $500,000 principal amount of 11% convertible secured non-recourse debenture due June 20, 2011  convertible into common stock at $0.40 per share (the “Convertible Debenture”). The Convertible Debenture is secured by the acquired assets. The cash portion of the purchase price was financed by short-term loans from an affiliate of Orin Hirschman and another current shareholder.

On August 19, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of Squalamine, Trodusquemine and related compounds from Genaera Liquidating Trust. The Company paid $200,000 in cash for the compounds.

On April 12, 2010, Dr. Irach Taraporewala was hired as the Company’s full-time CEO and Sam Backenroth was hired as the Company’s VP of Business Development and Interim CFO. In connection with their employment, Mr. Limpert resigned as an officer of the Company.

Product Pipeline
 
OHR/AVR118
 
OHR/AVR118 is a novel immunomodulator with a singular chemical structure that is terminally sterilized and endotoxin-free.  The compound  is composed of two small peptides , Peptid e A , that is 31 amino acids long, and Peptide B , that is 21 amino acids long . Peptide B is unique in that the dinucleotide , diadenosine , is covalently attached to serine at position 18 through a phosphodiester bond. OHR/AVR118 is quite stable and has a very favorable safety profile both i n animal toxicity studies and in human clinical trials .
 
Ohr is currently conducting a Phase II clinical trial of OHR/AVR 118 for the treatment of cancer cachexia at a leading cancer center in Canada. Cancer cachexia is a severe wasting disorder characterized by weight loss, muscle atrophy, fatigue, weakness, and significant loss of appetite. This disorder is often seen in late stage Cancer patients. OHR/AVR118 has shown to have chemoprotective effects, thus potentially allowing patients to better tolerate chemotherapy and radiation as well as more intensive treatment regimens with ordinary toxic chemotherapeutic agents, while maintaining body weight and avoiding other side effects. There is currently no widely accepted long-term effective drug for the treatment of cancer cachexia. The company presented interim data on this current trial at the annual conference of the Society of Cachexia and Wasting Disorders in Barcelona, Spain in December 2009.  
 
Squalamine
 
Squalamine is a first-in-class systemic intracellular, anti-angiogenic drug with a novel mechanism of action. Its ophthalmic formulation, Evizon®, has been evaluated against the wet form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of blindness in the elderly, which affects over 200,000 new patients a year in the US alone.  
 
In Phase II trials, in which no drug-related ocular or systemic effects were observed, stabilization or improvement in visual activity was observed in the vast majority of patients, with both early and advanced lesions responding. In patients in whom the more foregone AMD-affected eye was not a candidate for therapy with the currently approved wet-AMD drug therapy, the administration of Squalamine produced beneficial effects in the otherwise non-treatable “fellow” eye as well.  As opposed to the current approved standard of therapy, Evizon® does not require direct injection into the eye.  In addition, Evizon®’s novel mechanism of action avoids the systemic and ophthalmic side effects associated with intraocular injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibodies.
 
Additionally, because of its potent anti-angiogenic effects, Squalamine also shows promise in the treatment of solid tumors such as ovarian cancer. In a concluded Phase IIa study, patients with stage III and IV Refractory and Resistant Ovarian Cancer received Squalamine in conjunction with another chemotherapeutic agent with approximately two thirds of the patients achieving a complete response, partial response or stable disease. In 2001, Squalamine was awarded Orphan Drug Status by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the treatment of late stage resistant ovarian cancer. Because of funding constraints, Ohr is seeking a development partner to further advance development of this indication.
 
General
 
The Company is a biotechnology rollup company currently focused on development of the Company’s previously acquired compounds. With the addition of our executive management team in April 2010, we have shifted our strategy accordingly to focus on the development of our two later stage lead products, OHR/AVR 118 for the treatment of Cancer Cachexia, and Evizon® (Squalamine) for the treatment of Wet-AMD. We acquired OHR/AVR118 in a secured party sale and Evizon®(Squalamine) from the Genaera Liquidating Trust as part of the Company’s previous strategy to create a rollup of undervalued biotechnology companies and assets.
 
 
14

 
 
We seek to advance our two lead products through later stage clinical trials as well as developing some of our earlier stage products and indications that we are moving forward with minimal capital outlay. We have also started a new initiative to seek and implement strategic alternatives with respect to our products and Company, including licenses, business collaborations and other business combinations or transactions with other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.  From time to time, we may engage in discussions with third parties regarding the licensure, sale or acquisition of our products and technologies or a merger or sale of the Company; however we currently do not have plans to enter into such a transaction and there is no assurance that the Company will complete such a transaction.
 
 The Company has limited core operating expenses as we have only two full-time employees.  In connection with the hiring of our executive management team, we have established an office in New York City. The office is being provided by an affiliate of Mr. Backenroth free of charge with the exception of minimal office related expenses. 
 
The Company will continue to incur ongoing operating losses, which are expected to increase substantially as it funds development of the new pharmaceutical compounds. In addition, losses will be incurred in paying ongoing reporting expenses, including legal and accounting expenses, as necessary to maintain the Company as a public entity.  No projected date for potential revenues can be made, and the Company is undercapitalized at present to completely develop, test and market any pharmaceutical product.
 
Until the Company is able to generate significant revenue from its principal operations, it will remain classified as a development stage company. The Company can give no assurance that it will be successful in such efforts or that its limited operating funds will be adequate to support the Company’s operations, nor can there be any assurance of any additional funding being available to the Company. Our independent accountants have qualified their audit report by expressing doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a “going concern.”
 
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
 
The Company has insufficient capital to pay for development of the pharmaceutical compounds and ongoing reporting and minimal operating expenses as previously described.
 
As of March 31, 2010, the Company had cash of $716,916, prepaid expenses of $56,896 and security deposits of $85,025. The Company had current liabilities of $214,314.  This translates to total working capital of $644,523, which means that our cash reserves are not adequate to fund operations after January 2011.  We do not have any source of revenues as of March 31, 2010 and expect to rely on additional financing.  The Company plans to seek private capital through the sale of additional restricted stock or borrowing either from principal shareholders or private parties; however we currently do not have plans to enter into such a transaction and there is no assurance that the Company will complete such a transaction.
 
In view of the lack of financing plans, the Company may be obliged to discontinue operations, which will adversely affect the value of its common stock. See “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K/A.

Significant Subsequent Events
 
On April 12, 2010, the Company hired Dr. Irach Taraporewala as CEO and Sam Backenroth as Vice President of Business Development and Interim CFO. In connection with the new hires, Andrew Limpert resigned as an officer of the Company.  Pursuant to the ESOP plan adopted September 2009, Dr. Taraporewala received 800,000 options exercisable at $0.50 vesting over 4 years and Mr. Backenroth received 200,000 options exercisable at $0.50 vesting over 4 years. Further details about Dr. Taraporewala and Mr. Backenroth’s employment can be found in the Company’s Form 8/K filed with the SEC on April 12, 2010.
 
On April 15, 2010 the Company issued 10,000 warrants exercisable at $0.55 for legal services rendered to the Company. These warrants have an expiration of 5 years.
 
On April 20, 2010 the Company moved its corporate headquarters to 489 5th Avenue 28th Floor, New York, NY 10017.

In accordance with ASC 855, management evaluated the subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued and the Company had no additional material subsequent events to report.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QULITATIVE RISK
 
Market risk represents the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates.  The Company does not have any material exposure to interest rate or exchange rate risk.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
The Company’s management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud that could occur. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls.  The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks.  Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company’s management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). The Company’s management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the period ended March 31, 2010 and, due to no audit committee, has concluded that they are currently ineffective. The Company plans to establish an audit committee if it is able to obtain additional financing needed to sustain its business plan.  See “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K/A.

The Company is aware that under the rules of the SEC, it will be required to establish a Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliant independent audit committee, develop internal financial review, and include an auditor attestation report on internal control over financial reporting when it files its annual report for fiscal year ending September 30, 2010.
