Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K 28 SIGNATURES 29 PART I Item 1. Description of Business Company History The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Idaho on August 1, 1968. On January 12, 2000, the Company changed its domicile to Nevada by merging into a Nevada corporation, and on July 19, 2001, changed its name to Biophan Technologies, Inc. The Company's stock currently trades over the counter under the symbol BIPH.OB. Our corporate headquarters are located at 150 Lucius Gordon Drive, Suite 215, West Henrietta, New York 14586; Tel. (585) 214-2441; website: www.biophan.com. On December 1, 2000, the Company acquired LTR Antisense Technology, Inc., a New York corporation ("LTR"), from Biomed Solutions, LLC (formerly Biophan, LLC), a New York limited liability company ("Biomed"), in a share for share exchange. As a result of the exchange, LTR became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The exchange was consummated pursuant to and in accordance with an Exchange Agreement, dated December 1, 2000 and amended as of June 8, 2001, by and among the Company, LTR and Biomed. LTR owns multiple patents for proprietary HIV antisense gene therapy technology. In connection with the exchange, the Company (i) issued an aggregate of 10,759,101 shares of common stock to Biomed in exchange for all the issued shares of LTR and (ii) issued an aggregate of 10,759,101 shares of common stock to a group of investors for $175,000. Also on December 1, 2000, the Company acquired intellectual property rights, including a pending patent to the MRI-compatible pacemaker technology from Biomed (the "Assignment"), for future consideration of $500,000. The Assignment was consummated pursuant to, and in accordance with, an Assignment and Security Agreement, dated December 1, 2000 and amended as of June 8, 2001 by and between the Company and Biomed. Both the Exchange Agreement and the Assignment and Security Agreement contain provisions for the reversion of the technology to Biomed if the Company fails to raise funds for development of the technology and in certain other circumstances. In that event, the Company would require additional financing to meet its obligations or risk losing its rights in its technology. During 2001 the Company entered into a Commercial Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the National Institutes of Health and the University of Rochester Cancer Center, wherein these agencies conduct R & D associated with the antisense technology. This allowed the Company to put its full resources into the development of the MRI safety improvements to biomedical products. Company Business The Company's business is enabling implantable and interventional medical devices to operate safely and compatibly with MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) diagnostic equipment. Many biomedical products, including pacemakers, implantable cardio-defibrillators (ICD's), neurostimulators, insulin pumps, and others are contraindicated for use with MRI machines. This is primarily because the powerful radio waves that MRI machines emit can damage medical devices and cause patient injury and occasionally deaths. Problems associated with pacemakers and other devices, which use metal wire leads to connect sensors and stimulate tissue, include: * heating of electrodes which can scar the tissue such as at the point where the electrode tip connects to heart tissue and allows the pacemaker to sense and stimulate the heart. * scarring can subsequently interfere with the sensing signal and the ability to pace the heart, and this can render a pacemaker and/or an implantable cardio-defibrillator (ICD) inoperable. * interference from the RF energy can cause the diagnostic device to malfunction, such as in a pacemaker, where the device misreading the heart signal causing inappropriate pacing response. * device failure including battery depletion. The Company has developed several technologies that improve the safety of medical devices in the presence of an MRI machine. The Company's pacemaker solution replaces the metal wire lead, which connects the pacemaker to the heart with a fiber optic lead, performing the identical functions of sensing and electrostimulation. The Company's goal is to provide the worldwide pacemaker and medical device community with turnkey solutions they can use to redesign their products to be MRI safe and compatible. The Company will provide certain critical components, licenses, and R&D assistance to these manufacturers. The fiber optic and ICD solutions were developed by Company employees working in conjunction with Wilson Greatbatch, the inventor of the first successful implanted pacemaker, and his engineering firm, Greatbatch Enterprises. Greatbatch Enterprises and Wilson Greatbatch have assigned their patents in MRI safety and compatibility to the Company, and they are assisting the Company in developing prototypes and early product. A patent-pending "Photonic Catheter", based on fiber optic and laser diode technology, completely eliminates the traditional wire lead from the pacemaker case to the heart. This new pacemaker lead can sense the heart rhythm, and electrically stimulate the heart using a fiber optic lead, which is completely impervious to the MRI energy. The Company has demonstrated a working prototype of the temporary version of the photonic catheter providing electrical energy via a fiber optic lead, and an independent third party has tested the device operating for 20 minutes in an MRI field, without any heating or disruption of operation. The Company has developed a proprietary approach for using its fiber optic lead to connect the pacemaker to the heart in a manner that is compatible with MRI energy, and is battery efficient. The Company has entered into agreement with: Greatbatch Enterprises, Inc., an entity owned by Wilson Greatbatch. Pursuant to this agreement between Greatbatch Enterprises and the Company, Mr. Greatbatch will, in conjunction with the Company, leading cardiologists, radiologists, MRI experts and others, guide the creation of an MRI-compatible implantable cardiac pacemaker. Mr. Greatbatch's efforts in this area are exclusive to the Company. Greatbatch Enterprises employs several engineers who have worked with Mr. Greatbatch for many years, and has affiliations with third party organizations with extensive experience. Greatbatch Enterprises has developed the Company's working prototype. The Company is also exploring other approaches to MRI safety with research institutes including shielding. While these are not anticipated to be as effective in resolving the MRI safety issue, they represent an important potential bridge to assisting the pacing industry in reducing MRI associated dangers while the photonic solution is in development. MRI Safety / Compatibility Background The Company views its MRI-compatible cardiac pacemaker technology as a platform technology, which will have broad application to a variety of medical products. The power emitted by an MRI imaging device is significantly greater than most other diagnostic devices used on human beings or animals. An MRI procedure is crucial to diagnose colon cancer, a brain tumor, or a host of other serious, life threatening problems. The existence of a medical device that is not MRI compatible requires physicians and patients to make a very difficult decision to either forego the MRI, or risk serious injury and potential death from undergoing MRI with a pacemaker, neurostimulators, or other implantable device installed. Improved MRI safety will have a major impact on healthcare. MRI safety in association with pacemakers and other implantable devices is a serious issue in the medical industry. It was the subject, for example, of a panel discussion at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference held in Chicago in November 2001. Panelists indicated that our solution will make a difference. Decisions taken by radiologists and other physicians regarding use of MRI in the presence of traditional pacemaker implants are rife with patient hazard and professional liability. Our solution would make a difference in this life saving arena, and as such, it could impact the market share fortunes of the major pacemaker manufacturers. A major problem in MRI imaging involves the pacemaker lead, a wire approximately 14 inches in length, which goes from the pacemaker to the heart through the blood vessels. In the presence of MRI energy this wire heats up, enough to cause scarring and ablation of heart tissue, which can render a pacemaker inoperable. Modern neurostimulators which are proving very successful for treating epilepsy, Parkinson's Disease and other ailments, are subject to the same inductive heating as are cardiac leads. This problem is not that well known, and some neurosurgeons casually have used MRI imaging to check a newly implanted brain probe, which in addition to the long wire, has a 3" metal probe placed in the brain. Studies have shown that pacemaker leads can heat up as much as 63 degrees C in ninety seconds in the presence of MRI energy, causing scarring and ablation problems in the heart. The effects of this heating on the brain are not yet known, but one might assume it is not optimal for good health. Cardiologists, radiologists and other physicians, as well as the medical device industry, are well aware of the effect of MRI interference on medical devices. The websites of the American Heart Association, each of the major implantable pacemaker companies, the ICD companies, insulin pump manufacturers, and many others have warned patients/users to be cautious and aware of their surroundings when wearing or using these devices. These warnings address: * Double-checking units before and after exposure. * Serious and permanent damage to devices. * The need to recalibrate units. * The disruption of programming and memory functions. * Various other effects. The initial prototype of an externally powered pacemaker being developed by the Company as its initial prototype was recently tested in an MRI system using industry-accepted methods. The test used a "phantom" or plastic and liquid model of a human torso to permit tests for displacement due to the magnetic field, and for heating due to the RF energy. The results concluded that "the lead of the Photonic Temporary Pacemaker will not present an additional hazard or risk to a patient undergoing an MRI procedure using an MR system operating with a static magnetic field of 1.5 Tesla or less. As such the lead of the Photonic Temporary Pacemaker that underwent evaluation should be considered "MR safe" according to the specific conditions used for testing." Tests are planned in a 3.0 Tesla MRI machine. Markets The global market potential for technology that will enable medical devices to operate successfully in the presence of electromagnetic and other interference was approximately $6.4 billion in the year 2000. The total global market for these devices is projected to grow to approximately $14.3 billion by 2005. Competition There are a number of major companies engaged in the development of medical devices. However, management believes that none of these companies has successfully developed technology enabling implantable medical devices capable of operating in the presence of MRI equipment. The Company is currently assessing how to best commercialize its technology with a broad range of medical device companies, which may also compete with the Company. These companies include, but are not limited to, the following: Medtronic Incorporated is a leading manufacturer of cardiac rhythm management, cardiovascular and other medical devices. The Company has a dominant position in cardiac pacemakers, is the leading manufacturer of implantable cardiac defibrillators, and is a major player in most other device markets in which it competes. Guidant Corporation is also a leading manufacturer of cardiac rhythm management devices such as cardiac pacemakers, implantable cardiac defibrillators, interventional cardiology devices (including coronary stents), and other cardiac and vascular surgery devices and instruments. St. Jude Medical, Inc. is a global developer, manufacturer, and distributor of medical device products for cardiac rhythm management, cardiology and vascular access. Other products include mechanical and tissue heart valves and vascular closure devices. MiniMed, Inc. (recently acquired by Medtronic Incorporated for $3.6 billion), is the insulin pump market leader. The company designs, develops, manufactures, markets and sells advanced microinfusion systems and continuous glucose monitoring systems for the intensive treatment of diabetes. MiniMed is also using its drug delivery expertise to develop infusion devices for the treatment of other chronic medical conditions. The company has an implantable insulin pump undergoing clinical trials. Wilson Greatbatch Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: GB) is the primary supplier of batteries and components to the pacemaker market, founded by Wilson Greatbatch. Strategy Pacemaker Industry The Company's strategy is to provide working prototypes that demonstrate efficacy for its MRI safe and compatible solutions. The Company has developed a working prototype of a "temporary pacemaker" that can pace the heart from outside the body using a temporary optical fiber. This device will be used in animal and human clinical trials to demonstrate that the Company's technology is safe, and otherwise as effective as today's pacing technologies. The Company sees a market for this MRI compatible temporary pacemaker, that can be used to reduce the risk of having a pacemaker recipient undergo an MRI procedure with the existing, metal wire pacemaker. As the Company demonstrates efficacy of its solution and the medical community publishes the results of early testing, the Company anticipates that one or more pacemaker manufacturers will enter into licenses and R&D agreements with the Company to pursue MRI safe products of their own. The Company is working with the pacemaker industry, which has a very large installed base and high volume annual unit sales, as its entry point for solving the MRI safety challenges of biomedical products. The success of Mr. Greatbatch in developing the world's first successful implantable pacemaker and the lithium iodine batteries used in 90% of implantable devices provides the Company with a unique knowledge and experience base with which to help the pacemaker industry develop MRI compatibility. Mr. Greatbatch has also developed an early prototype of an MRI safe ICD lead, which augments the fiber optic solution and can provide the 800-volt charge needed to defibrillate the heart when needed. Other Market Segments The Company has identified other markets where its core technologies can provide improvements in MRI safety and compatibility. Included are neurostimulators for treating Parkinson's, epilepsy, and pain; implantable insulin pumps, which connect a sensor in the thoracic region to a pump located in the stomach; and intraluminal coils, which are placed in body cavities during MRI scans to improve the image resolution. Replacing the metal wire with fiber optic leads can improve the safety and image quality of intraluminal imaging. Many procedures that might be done under MRI have to have special equipment that avoids the problems of MRI safety and image compatibility. The Company's technologies can be applied to these other products and market segments. The Company may develop strategic alliances and partnerships to pursue these additional market segments. Manufacturing and Component Strategy The Company is developing turnkey solutions for MRI safe components, which can be acquired by pacemaker and ICD manufacturers. These include the Company's proprietary electrode tip for sensing and stimulating the heart. Today's pacemaker manufacturers use wire electrodes for sensing and electrostimulation, and these are contraindicated in the presence of MRI. The Company's electrodes use proprietary photonic components, fiber optic lead and photodiodes in the electrode, and a miniature semiconductor laser in the pacemaker device. The Company has developed the expertise to design and manufacture these components. Pacemaker manufacturers generally do not have photonic expertise in house. The Company believes its value is in providing turnkey solutions for devices, access to its engineering team, and access to its broad patent portfolio to manufacturers. The Company intends to manufacture, working with manufacturing partners, the critical components and provide them to the pacemaker and implanatable medical device industry with an associated license to its patent suite. This will provide the fastest time to market opportunity to the pacemaker manufacturers we are targeting as our initial customers. In parallel, the Company is exploring the use of its core technology for making other medical devices MRI compatible. These include insulin pumps, neurostimulators for treating Parkinson's, Vegal nerve stimulators, gastrointestinal pacing, urinary tract control, and others. Regulatory Approval The Company believes that its technology will be incorporated into various medical device products by major manufacturers and that these manufacturers will be responsible for obtaining FDA approval prior to clinical studies and to the marketing of their products. The Company will submit an application to the FDA for its temporary pacing lead and generator, and will turn this file over to its manufacturing partners as they come on line. The temporary pacing lead will establish the first proof of efficacy and safety, under FDA guidelines, to open the path for implantable systems, which the Company will work on with pacemaker manufacturers. Approval to market will take the form of a Premarket Approval (PMA) or a Premarket Notification (510 k). A PMA is the most stringent type of device marketing application required by the FDA and is an application submitted to the FDA to request clearance to market a Class III medical device. A 510(k) is a premarketing submission made to the FDA to demonstrate that a device to be marketed is safe and effective and is substantially equivalent to a currently marketed device that is not subject to premarket approval. The Company will pursue the appropriate approval level for each product it develops, working in conjunction with its customers. Patents and Intellectual Property In April 2000, Wilson Greatbatch, Michael L. Weiner and Patrick R. Connelly, the co-inventors, filed a provisional patent application on the initial design of an MRI-compatible cardiac pacemaker, entitled "MRI-Resistant Cardiac Pacemakers, File No. 60/198631. This patent application was assigned to Biomed and subsequently to the Company. Since that time, further pacemaker- related and MRI-related patent applications have been prepared based on evolving Company technology, and more will be filed in the future. * As of May 1, 2002, the Company has filed thirty-nine (39) applications with the USPTO. Two PCTs have been filed. * The patent strategy being pursued by the Company is based on both broad coverage at the system level and focused coverage at the component level. * This strategy is being applied to cardiac assist devices and to other medical devices that need to be made safe and effective in an MRI environment. The Company's subsidiary, LTR, owns the following two patents pertaining to the antisense technology, which it acquired from Greatbatch Gen-Aid: 1. U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 5,324,643 issued June 28, 1994 entitled METHOD OF CONFERRING RESISTANCE TO RETROVIRAL INFECTION; and 2.

Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities In accordance with a Private Placement Memorandum dated July 2, 2001, the Company offered to sell 3,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.005 per share, at $1.00 per share. The offering was concluded in January 2002. Gross proceeds of $2,399,750 were received adding $11,999 to the common stock account and $2,387,751, less offering costs of $254,467, to additional paid- in capital. In addition, the conversion of bridge loans in the principal amount of $986,500 and the payment of applicable interest in the form of stock during the year resulted in adding $8,920 to the common stock account and $1,446,403 to additional paid-in capital. The private offerings were made pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act. Market Information The Company elected to register under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by filing Form 10 thereunder, and complies with the periodic reporting requirements of that Act. The Company's common stock is listed on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol BIPH.OB. As of May 1, 2002, 29,549,439 of $.005 par value common shares were outstanding and held of record by 175 shareholders. The stock was not actively traded until October 2001 and the following table sets forth, for the fiscal quarters indicated, the high and low bid prices: Quarter Ended High Low November 30, 2001 $6.50 $5.50 February 28, 2002 $7.25 $2.37 Dividend Policy The Company has not declared or paid cash dividends or made distributions in the past, and the Company does not anticipate that it will pay cash dividends or make distributions in the foreseeable future. The Company currently intends to retain and reinvest future earnings to finance its operations. Item 6. Plan of Operation The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB. This Annual Report on Form 10-KSB contains certain forward- looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Actual events or results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of the factors described in Item 1 of this report. Overview The Company is currently in the development stage of its operations and is expected to be in that mode for the foreseeable future. The Company's primary mission is to develop and commercially exploit new proprietary technology to prevent implantable cardiac pacemakers and other critical and life sustaining medical devices from being affected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other equipment that uses magnetic fields, radio waves and similar forms of electromagnetic interference. Management's strategy is to pursue development of its technology in this area, obtain FDA approval for a Temporary Pacemaker, identify new opportunities for the MRI-compatible platform, and entertain the possibility of development partners while vigorously protecting current technologies by aggressively patenting in the U.S. and abroad. Results of Operations During the year ended February 29, 2000, the Company was inactive, earning no revenues and incurring only a minimum of expenses in connection with filing all required periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as well as consulting expense for assistance in targeting potential acquisition or merger candidates. Such expenses totaled $5,001 in fiscal 2000. On December 1, 2000, the Company entered into agreements for the acquisition of its currently owned technology and a subsidiary corporation and embarked on a new program for development and eventual commercial exploitation of such technology. The Company remained in the development stage during the years ended February 28, 2001 and 2002. In fiscal 2001, the Company earned no revenues except interest income and incurred research and development expenses of $113,144 and other general and administrative expenses of $114,605 plus interest expense of $13,000. The net loss for the year amounted to $729,130, including a charge of $490,000 to write-down intellectual property rights to fair market value. In fiscal 2002, again the Company earned no revenues. However, the receipt of net proceeds of $3,187,610 from bridge loans and a private placement of common stock enabled the Company to step up its technology development by hiring new employees and contracting with a number of outside consultants. As a result, $949,124 was expended for research and development during the year and $2,248,065 for general and administrative expenses. The net loss for the year of $3,705,917 included non-cash charges of $1,284,666, principally pertaining to the grant of stock options to other than employees and directors of the Company valued at $702,800 and the payment of interest on bridge loans by issuing stock valued at $468,823. Liquidity and Capital Resources On June 4, 2002, the Company entered into a Line of Credit Agreement with Biomed Solutions, LLC that provides for new borrowing up to $250,000 at 8% per annum, and, among other things, extends the due date of the $500,000 transfer liability to September 1, 2002 and grants 325,000 warrants to purchase common shares at $1.00 per share. In addition, on June 6, 2002, the Company signed agreements providing for up to $2.4 million of equity financing from an institutional investor. The net proceeds, after offering costs, will be applied to outstanding debt and the furtherance of the Company's research and development program with particular emphasis on the primary mission of commercially exploiting its current MRI compatible device technology and seeking new related opportunities for development. This financing is expected to provide sufficient working capital for the next twelve months of operations and beyond. The Company's current strategic plan does not indicate a need for material capital expenditures in the conduct of its research and development activities. Nor does the plan contemplate any significant change in the number of employees. The Company currently employs eleven individuals. Item 7. Financial Statements BIOPHAN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

F-6 BIOPHAN TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (FORMERLY GREATBIO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES (a development stage company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 28, 2002 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. PRINCIPAL The consolidated financial statements include the accounts BUSINESS of Biophan Technologies, Inc. ("Biophan") (formerly ACTIVITY AND GreatBio Technologies, Inc.) and its wholly owned SUMMARY OF subsidiaries, LTR Antisense Technology, Inc. ("Antisense") SIGNIFICANT and MRIC Drug Delivery Systems, LLC ("MRIC") (collectively ACCOUNTING referred to as the "Company"). All significant POLICIES: intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is in the development stage and is expected to remain so for at least the next 12 months. The Company was formed in 1968 and obtained certain mining claims and related rights, which were subsequently abandoned. As of December 1, 2000, the principal business activity of the Company is research and development of patent rights in two areas: (1) MRI-compatible implantable cardiac pacemaker and other implantable medical devices and (2) the use of Antisense technology to block the HIV virus. The Company has not generated any revenue throughout its history. The Company's ability to continue in business is dependent upon obtaining sufficient financing or attaining future profitable operations. On December 1, 2000, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from Idaho Technical, Inc. to GreatBio Technologies, Inc. and entered into an Exchange Agreement with Biomed Solutions, LLC ("Biomed") (formerly Biophan, LLC) and Antisense as more fully described below. At the Annual Meeting on July 19, 2001, the shareholders approved amending the Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Biophan Technologies, Inc. The change was effective as of that date. In accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement (the "Agreement") dated December 1, 2000, the Company acquired from Biomed all of the issued and outstanding common stock of its wholly owned subsidiary, Antisense, in exchange for 10,759,101 shares of authorized but previously unissued common stock, par value $.005. The operations of Antisense are included since the date of acquisition. Had Antisense been acquired as of March 1, 2000, there would have been no effect on the Company's operations. Antisense's only assets at December 1, 2000 were the HIV patents. Also on December 1, 2000, the Company acquired certain intellectual property rights relating to the magnetic resonance imaging ("MRI") technology from Biomed for the future consideration of $500,000. The transfer was consummated pursuant to and in accordance with the Transfer Agreement (as amended), dated December 1, 2000, between the Company and Biomed. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts. Pg. F-7 BIOPHAN TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (FORMERLY GREATBIO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES (a development stage company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 28, 2002 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marketable securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value, with the change in fair value during the period included in operations. Depreciation of fixed assets is provided by the straight- line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Amortization of acquired intellectual property rights is provided by the straight-line method over 17 years. Costs for internally developed intellectual property rights with indeterminate lives are expensed as incurred. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates the period of amortization of intangible assets. The factors used in evaluating the period of amortization include: (i) current operating results, (ii) projected future operating results, and (iii) any other material factors that affect continuity of the business. Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to dilutive options, warrants and other potential common stock outstanding during the period. Potential common stock has not been included in the computation of diluted loss per share, as the effect would be antidilutive. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply when the differences are expected to be realized. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is anticipated that some or all of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates by management. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"). SFAS No. 142 addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. This statement requires goodwill to be periodically reviewed for impairment rather than amortized. SFAS No. 142 supersedes Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets". In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"). This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This Statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", and amends the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations Reporting the Effect of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions", for the disposal of a segment of a business. The provisions of SFAS Nos. 142 and 144 will be effective Pg. F-8 BIOPHAN TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (FORMERLY GREATBIO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES (a development stage company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 28, 2002 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company is currently evaluating the implications of adoption of SFAS Nos. 142 and 144 and anticipates adopting the provisions for its fiscal year beginning March 1, 2002. The impact of these standards on the Company's financial statements has not yet been determined. Management does not believe that these recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 2. INVESTMENTS IN Investments in trading securities are summarized as follows MARKETABLE at February 28, 2002: SECURITIES: Gross Unrealized Fair Cost Loss Value ----------------------------------------------------------- Corporate debt securities $605,086 $ 36,281 $ 568,805 ============================================================ Unrealized holding losses on trading securities amounted to $36,281 for the year ended February 28, 2002.

INTELLECTUAL Intellectual property rights were acquired on December 1, PROPERTY 2000 and encompass two areas: (1) The utilization of new RIGHTS: proprietary technology to prevent implantable cardiac pacemakers and other critical and life-sustaining medical devices from being affected by MRI and other equipment using magnetic fields, radio waves and similar forms of electromagnetic interference ("EMI"), and (2) the use of proprietary Antisense gene therapy technology to inhibit the spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection in conjunction with the use of lentiviral vectors. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, at February 28, 2001, the Company recognized a loss of $490,000 through a write-down of the intellectual property rights to their fair market value, in accordance with an independent, third-party valuation. As discussed in Note 1, the Company has not yet recorded revenue and the continuation of business is dependent on the Company's ability to obtain sufficient financing or attain future profitable operations. 5. STOCKHOLDERS' During the months of July, August, October and December EQUITY: 2001 and January 2002, the Company issued 2,399,750 shares of common stock for cash of $1.00 per share, in connection with a private placement of up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock.

Biomed maintains a security interest in the underlying patents until the liability is satisfied. The intellectual property rights will revert to Biomed if the Company does not satisfy the liability by December 1, 2002. The stated liability bears interest at an imputed rate of 12.48%, and the balance payable at February 28, 2002 is $500,000. At February 28, 2002, the carrying value of the Company's obligation approximated its estimated fair value based upon current borrowing rates for similar issues. Biomed and another related party paid expenses on behalf of the Company aggregating $253,014 and $170,136 during the years ended February 28, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
