ACCOUNTANTS REVIEW REPORT
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Advanced Biotherapy, Inc., formerly Advanced Biotherapy Concepts, Inc. (a development stage company) as of September 30, 2001, and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity (deficit), and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 and for the period from December 2, 1985 (inception) to September 30, 2001. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of Advanced Biotherapy, Inc.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000 were audited by us and we expressed an unqualified opinion on it in our report dated March 6, 2001. We have not performed any auditing procedures since that date.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has generated little revenue in the past years, and has suffered recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $4,774,290 at September 30, 2001. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans regarding this issue are also discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ADVANCED BIOTHERAPY, INC.
(FORMERLY ADVANCED BIOTHERAPY CONCEPTS, INC.)
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Advanced Biotherapy, Inc. (formerly Advanced Biotherapy Concepts, Inc.) was originally incorporated December 2, 1985 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is involved in the research and development of the treatment of autoimmune diseases in humans, most notably, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. The Company conducts its research in Maryland. The Companys fiscal year-end is December 31. The Company is a development stage enterprise.
On July 14, 2000, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Advanced Biotherapy, Inc. in the state of Delaware. On September 1, 2000, the Company merged with its wholly owned subsidiary, effectively changing its name to Advanced Biotherapy, Inc. (hereinafter the Company) and its domicile to Delaware.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of Advanced Biotherapy, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Companys financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Companys management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Development Stage Activities
The Company has been in the development stage since its formation in 1985 and has not realized any significant revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the research and development of the treatment of autoimmune diseases in humans, most notably, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $726,165 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. At September 30, 2001, the Company has an accumulated deficit during the development stage of $4,774,290. The future of the Company is dependent upon future profitable operations from the commercial success of its medical research and development of products to combat diseases of the human immune system and products for treatment of viral and bacterial diseases of animals. Management has established plans designed to increase the capitalization of the Company and is actively seeking additional capital that will provide funds needed to fund the research and development and therefore the internal growth of the Company in order to fully implement its business plans. For the twelve-month period subsequent to September 30, 2001, the Company anticipates that its minimum cash requirements to continue as a going concern will be less than $800,000. The anticipated source of funds may be the issuance for cash of additional debt and/or equity instruments. See Note 13. In addition, management is actively seeking a collaborative relationship with either a pharmaceutical or biotechnology company. If successful, cash requirements may be met through royalty or licensing fees. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2001
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Accounting Method
The Companys financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all bank accounts, certificates of deposit, money market accounts and short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Provision for Taxes
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the more likely than not standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.
At September 30, 2001, the Company had net deferred tax assets of approximately $1,370,000, principally arising from net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been established.
At September 30, 2001, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4,200,000, which expire in the years 2001 through 2020.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Impaired Asset Policy
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a statement titled Accounting for Impairment of Long-lived Assets. In complying with this standard, the Company reviews its long-lived assets quarterly to determine if any events or changes in circumstances have transpired which indicate that the carrying value of its assets may not be recoverable. The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by its assets to their respective carrying amounts. The Company does not believe any adjustments are needed to the carrying value of its assets at September 30, 2001.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Reclassifications
Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. This reclassification has resulted in no changes to the Companys accumulated deficit or net losses presented.
Promotional Fees
Promotional fees are charged to operations in the year incurred. Promotional fees amounted to $10,386 and $15,020 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Interim Financial Statements
The interim financial statements as of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, included herein, have been prepared for the Company without audit. These statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the results of operations for these periods. All such adjustments are normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
Research and Development Costs
Costs of research and development are expensed as incurred.
Compensated Absences
Employees of the Company are entitled to paid vacation, paid sick days and personal days off, depending on job classification, length of service, and other factors. It is impracticable to estimate the amount of compensation for future absences, and, accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Companys policy is to recognize the costs of compensated absences when actually paid to employees.
Revenue Recognition
Upon entering into license agreements with other companies, revenue will be recognized when fees are received. Prior to 1994, revenues were recognized when fees for services related to research activities were received.
Deferred Loan Origination Fees
During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company entered into convertible subordinated debt, which required the payment of loan origination fees. See Note 14. These loan origination fees, which totaled $81,719, net of accumulated amortization at September 30, 2001, are amortized over the life of the related debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company recorded amortization expense in the amount of $20,784 related to these fees.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB No. 133, and SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, which is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2001. This standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.
Historically, the Company has not entered into derivatives contracts to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.
At September 30, 2001, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts for cash, deposits, prepaid expenses, receivables, investments, accounts payable, loans and notes payable, accrued liabilities, and convertible debt approximate their fair value.
NOTE 3 PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The following is a summary of property, equipment and accumulated depreciation at September 30, 2001:

On February 25, 1991, the Corporation granted non-statutory options to purchase stock to members of its board of directors, officers, and outside consultants. These remaining options offer a total of 860,000 shares at a price of $0.20 per share with an exercise period of February 25, 1991, to February 25, 2001. The expiration of these options has been extended to February 23, 2002. Additional options were issued effective February 1, 1993, for a total of 250,000 shares at a price of $0.01 per share, with an exercise period of February 1, 1993, to February 1, 2003. During 1995, options for 50,000 shares were granted at $0.20 per share, which expire in 2005. Also in 1995, options for 350,000 shares were granted at $0.01 per share expiring in 2005. During 1996, options for 525,000 shares were granted at $0.10 per share, which expire in 2006.

Stock options granted to a director of the Company for 325,000 shares at a price of $0.01 were exercised in 1997. On December 31, 1999, three officers of the Company received 842,953 stock options in partial payment of accrued salaries in the amount of $210,738. In addition the same three officers forgave the balance of their accrued salaries and interest in the amount of $1,482,209. See Note 6. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, the fair value of the options was estimated using the Black Scholes Option Price Calculation.

At December 31, 1999, the Company recorded $210,738 ($0.25 per option) to reduce accrued wages for the value of these options based upon these Black Scholes assumptions. These stock options are exercisable immediately, and expire on December 31, 2005. See Note 6.

NOTE 12 INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares is calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense on convertible debt by the weighted average number of basic shares outstanding increased by the number of shares that would be outstanding assuming conversion of the stock options, warrants, and convertible debt. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share as inclusion of the common stock equivalents would be antidilutive. All effective dilutions are reflected in the accompanying statements of operations.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed herein are by their nature forward-looking. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements or projections made by the Company, including those made in this document, are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The Company operates in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks, some of which are beyond the Companys control. Future operating results and the Companys stock price may be affected by a number of factors, including, without limitation: availability of capital for research and development; availability of capital for clinical trials; opportunities for joint ventures and corporate partnering; opportunities for mergers and acquisitions to expand the Companys biotechnology base or acquire revenue generating products; the results of preclinical and clinical trials, if any; regulatory approvals of product candidates new indications and manufacturing facilities; health care guidelines and policies relating to prospective Company products; intellectual property matters (patents); and competition. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section entitled Item 1 Business, and all subsections therein, including without limitation the subsections entitled, Technical Background, Government Regulation, Federal Drug Administration Regulation, and Factors That May Affect the Company, and the section entitled Market for Registrants Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters, all contained in the Companys Annual Report (Form 10-KSB) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.
Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2001, the Company had 39,848,265 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The Company is a development stage company and has no material assets other than cash. The Company had $165,408 in cash and short-term investments as of September 30, 2001. For the twelve-month period subsequent to September 30, 2001, the Company anticipates that its minimum cash requirements to continue as a going concern will be less than $800,000. The Company therefore believes that it has inadequate cash to maintain operations during that period of time in order to meet the foregoing cash requirements and will have to raise additional capital or obtain loans. There is no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to raise additional capital or obtain either a pharmaceutical or biotechnological company that could result
19
in the generation of royalty payments to the Company. As of the date hereof, the Company has not entered into agreements with any pharmaceutical or biotechnological companies. In the event that the Company does not raise additional capital from any of the foregoing sources, it may have to curtail operations. The Company is also seeking out merger and acquisition candidates that can either expand the Companys technology base in the area of autoimmune disease therapeutics or bring FDA-approved products into the Company that will generate recurring revenue and cash flow.
