CUSIP NO. 724153 10 1 13D Page 6 of 9 Pages Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. Effective October 31, 2006, Pipex Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, when it merged with and into Pipex Therapeutics Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer. At the effective time of the merger, every share of Pipex Therapeutics Inc.'s issued and outstanding common shares were cancelled and converted into one common share of the Issuer. As a result, the Reporting Persons acquired 21,259,138 of the Issuer's common shares. All of these shares were initially acquired from Pipex Therapeutics, Inc. in exchange for a cash investment. In addition, at the effective time of the merger, each warrant to purchase shares of Pipex Therapeutics, Inc.'s common shares was converted into the right to receive, upon exercise of such warrant, an equal number of shares of the Issuer's common shares. As a result, the Reporting Persons' warrants to purchase 2,497,817 shares of Pipex Therapeutics, Inc.'s common shares, at an average exercise price of approximately $.74 per share, were converted into an equal number of warrants to purchase common shares of the Issuer. In October and November 2006, the Issuer completed a private placement with Accredited Equities Inc. ("AEI") as its placement agent. In connection with this private placement, Mr. Kanzer received 1,016,302 warrants to purchase 1,016,302 shares of the Issuer's common stock at $.74 per share in his capacity as the Chairman of AEI. Mr. Kanzer received on January 7, 2007 22,953 warrants to purchase 22,953 shares of the Issuer's common stock at an exercise price of $1.10 in exchange for previously issued warrants to purchase common stock shares of Effective Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("EPI") in connection with the Issuer's acquisition of EPI. Mr. Kanzer purchased on February 21, 2007 95,238 shares of the Issuer's common stock for $1.05 per share in a privately negotiated transaction with an institutional seller. Mr. Kanzer purchased on February 27, 2007 an additional 100,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock for $1.25 per share in a privately negotiated transaction with an institutional seller. Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction. The Reporting Persons purchased the common shares and warrants for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may acquire additional common shares of the Issuer or securities convertible into common shares of the Issuer, or may dispose of the same, through market transactions or otherwise. CUSIP NO. 724153 10 1 13D Page 7 of 9 Pages The Reporting Persons do not have any current definite plans or proposals which would relate to or result in: (a) the acquisition or disposition of securities of the Issuer other than as herein disclosed; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction such as a merger; reorganization or liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any changes in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any changes in the Issuer's charter or by-laws which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (g) Any action similar to any of those enumerated above. Mr. Kanzer, however, in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, consistently evaluates potential acquisition candidates and capital raising transactions on behalf of the Issuer. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. The only interest in the securities of the Issuer which the Reporting Persons hold are the interests which have been described in Item 3. (a) As of the date hereof, the Issuer has 50,979,171 common shares issued and outstanding. (b) Assuming the exercise in full of the aggregate number of warrants held by the Reporting Persons, the Reporting Persons have shared voting power and shared dispositive power over 24,991,448 common shares of the Issuer. As a result, the Reporting Persons beneficially own approximately 45.84% of the Issuer's outstanding common shares.
