GRANT LIFE SCIENCES, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2008 and 2007
(Unaudited)

NOTE A – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization and Business
On July 30, 2004, Grant Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation, acquired Impact Diagnostics, Inc., a Utah corporation organized on July 9, 1998, through the merger of Grant Ventures, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary, Impact Acquisition Corporation, with Impact Diagnostics, Inc.  Grant Ventures, Inc. was an inactive publicly registered shell corporation with no significant assets or operations.   For accounting purposes, the merger was treated as a recapitalization.  Grant Ventures, Inc. changed its name to Grant Life Sciences, Inc. (the Company) in November 2004.  Impact Acquisition Corporation and Impact Diagnostics, Inc. were subsequently dissolved.

The Company’s purpose is to research, develop, market and sell diagnostic kits for detecting disease with emphasis on the detection of low-grade cervical cancer.

Development Stage Company
Since July 9, 1998 (date of inception), the Company has operated as a development stage company as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Companies. The Company’s development stage activities have consisted primarily of the development of medical diagnostic kits.  These development stage activities have been funded primarily through debt and equity financing.  The Company has not yet established a significant source of revenue.

Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  Continuing as a going concern is dependent upon successfully obtaining additional working capital through debt or equity financing and, eventually, achieving profitable operations.  There can be no assurance of either obtaining additional funding or achieving profitable operations.  No adjustments have been made to the accompanying condensed financial statements that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company plans to seek additional debt and/or equity funding.  The Company also plans to investigate the feasibility of out-licensing the technologies controlled by the Company, the feasibility of merging with an operating company generating positive cash flow, and/or the feasibility of collaborating with other research and development companies that are better funded than the Company.  There can be no assurance, however, that any of these plans will materialize.

Interim Financial Information
The interim financial information as of March 31, 2008 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, is unaudited. The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 is derived from audited financial statements, the report on which included an explanatory paragraph that there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the interim periods reported have been made, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments.  The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for future quarters or for the entire year ending December 31, 2008.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform with the current presentation.

10


NOTE B – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments and related items that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash.  The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the insurance limit of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Convertible Notes and Related Discount
The convertible notes give the holder the right to convert such notes to common stock at a specified discount from the market price of the Company’s common stock at the time of conversion.  The size of the discount provides the holder with substantial incentive to convert the notes to common stock, such that it is expected that the notes will be converted to common stock rather than repaid.  Thus, when a convertible note is issued, a note discount equivalent to the face amount of the note is established.  The note discount is subsequently accreted to interest expense over the life of the note.

Derivative Liability Related to Convertible Notes and Warrants
The derivative liability related to convertible notes and warrants arises because the conversion price of the Company’s convertible notes is solely a function of the market price of the Company’s common stock.  Thus, the number of shares that may be issued upon conversion of such notes is indeterminate, which gives rise to the possibility that the Company may not be able to fully settle its convertible note and warrant obligations by the issuance of common stock.

The derivative liability related to convertible notes and warrants is adjusted to fair value as of each date that a note is converted or a warrant is exercised, as well as at each reporting date, using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  Any change in fair value between reporting dates that arises because of changes in market conditions is recognized as a gain or loss.  To the extent the derivative liability is reduced as a consequence of the conversion of notes or the exercise of warrants, such reduction is recognized as additional paid-in capital as of the conversion or exercise date.

Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized in the period that the following four criteria are met:  (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.  The Company has had no revenue since 2005.

Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock Based Payments
The cost of employee and board member services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument is based on the grant-date fair value of the award, determined by using the Black-Scholes pricing model. This cost is recognized over the period during which the award recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally corresponds to the vesting period.

From time to time, the Company acquires services from or settles obligations to non-employees and non-directors by the issuance of common stock.  In these instances, the transaction is recorded at the fair value of the underlying service or obligation, unless the fair value of the issued equity instrument is considered to be a more reliable measure of fair value.

Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These costs include direct expenditures for goods and services, as well as some indirect expenditures such as consulting fees.

Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method for financial reporting purposes. Under this method, deferred income 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 are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be removed or settled.  The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in income tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are provided when it is more likely than not that some or all of the net deferred income tax assets may not be realized.

11

 
Net Loss Per Common Share
The computation of basic net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period.  The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus common stock equivalents, unless the effect of their inclusion is anti-dilutive.  During periods of net losses, basic and diluted net loss per common share are equivalent.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of reporting dates and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements Applicable to the Company
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. This statement is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of SFAS No. 115.  SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  Most of the provisions of this statement apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. This statement is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its financial statements.

NOTE C – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE AND WARRANTS

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company issued 45,542,719 common shares upon the conversion of $301,312 of convertible notes payable in several separate transactions.  The fair values of the related derivative liabilities at the dates of the respective conversions totaled $362,021 which amounts were credited to additional paid-in capital.

Also during the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company issued $206,712 of convertible notes in payment of accrued interest on previously issued convertible notes.

As of March 31, 2008, the remaining convertible notes were convertible into 607,435,714 shares of the Company’s common stock based on the then market price of the common stock.

As of March 31, 2008, there were outstanding warrants to purchase 33,379,542 shares of the Company’s common stock at a weighted average purchase price per share of $0.16.  These warrants expire between July 2009 and November 2014.  These amounts are unchanged from December 31, 2007.

NOTE D – STOCK OPTIONS

As of March 31, 2008, there were outstanding stock options on 22,226,218 shares of the Company’s common stock at a weighted average exercise price per share of $0.049.  These options expire between August 2013 and June 2017.  These amounts are unchanged from December 31, 2007.

The Company recorded $45,237 and $26,870 of compensation expense related to these stock options for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Unrecognized compensation expense applicable to unvested options as of March 31, 2008, was $75,087.

12


NOTE E – INCOME TAXES

For income tax reporting purposes, the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards approximate $13,550,000 and unused federal tax credits approximate $90,000, which begin expiring in 2019, subject to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, which places limitations on the amount of taxable income which can be offset by net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes after a change in control of a loss corporation.  As a result, there can be no assurance that some or all of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes will be available to offset future taxable income and associated tax, if any.

The Company has established a valuation allowance to fully reserve against all of its net deferred income tax assets, as management has determined that it is more likely than not that those assets will not be realized based on the Company’s operating history.  As a result, there are no net deferred income tax assets presented in the Company’s condensed balance sheets.

NOTE F – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to March 31, 2008 and through May 15, 2008, the Company issued 17,639,000 shares of common stock upon the conversion of $89,959 of convertible notes.

On May 1, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved cancellation of the 2007 stock option plan and implementation of a 2008 stock option plan, subject to shareholder approval, under which options on 68,000,000 shares may be granted.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. References in this section to "Grant Life Sciences, Inc.," the "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Grant Life Sciences, Inc. and our direct and indirect subsidiaries on a consolidated basis unless the context indicates otherwise.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
This report contains certain forward-looking statements.  These statements relate to future events or the Company’s future performance and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties.  Actual results may differ substantially from such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the following:
 
•      The Company’s ability to fund its cash and working capital needs;
 
•      The Company’s ability to maintain its corporate existence as a viable entity; and
 
•      Other risks detailed in the Company’s periodic report filings with the SEC.
 
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expects”, “intends”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential”, “continue”, or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.  These statements are only predictions.  Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

Overview
The Company is a development stage company.  From inception in 1998 through March 31, 2008, it has not generated significant revenues.  All audit reports issued to date have included an explanatory paragraph that there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Plan of Operation
The Company is focused on developing technologies that will be useful in commercializing rapid test products that can screen women for cervical cancer or pre-cancerous conditions.  The majority of cervical cancer is generally believed to be caused by different strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV).  Most of the Company’s effort in prior years has centered on HPV antibody detection tests.  In 2006, the Company signed a memorandum of understanding to in-license technology pertaining to HPV antigen detection tests.  This memorandum of understanding evolved into a contract in November 2007.  In June 2007, the Company signed another memorandum of understanding to in-license technology based on a molecular diagnostic test for HPV.  This memorandum of understanding was also converted to a contractual arrangement in November 2007.  Due to capital constraints, the Company has only been able to devote minimal funds to research and development, in particular, over the past year.

The Company’s ability to conduct further research on the technologies described in the preceding paragraph is directly related to the Company’s ability to raise capital to fund such research.  In addition to debt and equity funding, the Company may investigate out-licensing of the technologies presently under its control, the feasibility of merging with a cash-flow positive operating company, and the feasibility of collaborating with other research and development companies that are better funded than the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
From inception in 1998 through March 31, 2008, the Company has relied on loans and equity infusions to fund its operations.  The Company has never generated positive cash flows from operating activities.  In the near term, and perhaps longer, the Company will continue to be dependent on its ability to raise debt and/or equity capital.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to do so.  Over a longer term, the Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operating activities to meet its obligations on a timely basis and to obtain additional financing as may be required.  Since June 2005, the Company’s primary source of funding has been from the sale of convertible notes.

14

 
As of March 31, 2008, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $668,102.  The Company’s cash balance at March 31, 2008 was $2,673.  Since mid-March 2008, the Company has delayed payments to vendors and employees to the extent possible and has relied on cash advances from officers and directors to cover payments that could not be delayed.  The Company has obtained a waiver from the holder of its convertible notes payable which allows the Company to seek funding from alternate sources.  As of May 15, 2008, the Company had received a proposal from an alternate funding source which would provide working capital, if consummated, for approximately two to three months. The Company is actively pursuing this proposal.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining adequate debt or equity financing and, as a result, the Company may not be able to continue its existence.

Results of Operations
The Company has never been profitable.  Since inception, aggregate losses approximate $23,244,000.  Since June 2005, the Company has incurred non-cash charges of approximately $14,108,000 related to interest expense on the Company’s convertible notes and charges arising from the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities related to the convertible notes and warrants to purchase common stock of the Company.

Aggregate results of operations for the three month-periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, are reasonably comparable except for  the impact of the non-cash items described in the preceding paragraph.
   
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

N/A.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of and Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls over reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  The Company’s management, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures for the three months ended March 31, 2008.   Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, the Company’s management concluded that, as of March 31, 2008, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting of the Company.  The Company’s management, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, the Company’s management concluded that, as of March 31, 2008, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is not effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Changes in Disclosure Controls and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s chief financial officer resigned on March 11, 2008.  The Company currently does not have an executive officer with substantial expertise in matters of accounting, internal control and financial reporting.  Otherwise, there were no changes in the Company’s disclosure controls or internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2008, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s disclosure controls or internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Controls

The Company’s management does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, 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.
