NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information pursuant to Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2009.

2. Recapitalization and Merger

Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., formerly known as "Provectus Pharmaceutical, Inc." and "SPM Group, Inc.," was incorporated under Colorado law on May 1, 1978.  SPM Group ceased operations in 1991, and became a development-stage company effective January 1, 1992, with the new corporate purpose of seeking out acquisitions of properties, businesses, or merger candidates, without limitation as to the nature of the business operations or geographic location of the acquisition candidate.

On April 1, 2002, SPM Group changed its name to "Provectus Pharmaceutical, Inc." and reincorporated in Nevada in preparation for a transaction with Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a privately-held Tennessee corporation ("PPI"). On April 23, 2002, an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between Provectus Pharmaceutical and PPI was approved by the written consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of Provectus Pharmaceutical.  As a result, Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. issued 6,680,000 shares of common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of PPI.  As part of the acquisition, Provectus Pharmaceutical changed its name to "Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc." and PPI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Provectus.  This transaction was recorded as a recapitalization of PPI.

On November 19, 2002, the Company acquired Valley Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a privately-held Tennessee corporation formerly known as Photogen, Inc., by merging PPI with and into Valley and naming the surviving corporation "Xantech Pharmaceuticals, Inc." Photogen, Inc. was separated from Photogen Technologies, Inc. in a non-pro-rata split-off to some of its shareholders.  The assets of Photogen, Inc. consisted primarily of the equipment and intangibles related to its therapeutic activity and were recorded at their fair value.  The majority shareholders of Valley were also the majority shareholders of Provectus.  Valley had no revenues prior to the transaction with the Company.  By acquiring Valley, the Company acquired its intellectual property, including issued U.S. patents and patentable inventions.

3. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share

Basic and diluted loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Loss per share excludes the impact of outstanding options and warrants as they are antidilutive. Potential common shares excluded from the calculation at March 31, 2009 and 2008 relate to 20,976,672 and 22,718,776 from warrants, and 8,848,427 and 8,903,169 from options.

4. Equity and Debt Transactions

(a) During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company issued 75,000 shares of common stock to consultants in exchange for services.  Consulting costs charged to operations were $70,250.

(b) During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company issued 243,612 warrants to consultants in exchange for services.  Consulting costs charged to operations were $131,476.  During the three months ended March 31, 2009, 292,112 warrants were exercised for $219,084 resulting in 292,112 shares being issued.  292,112 of the warrants exercised had an exercise price of $0.935 that was reduced to $0.75.  Additional consulting costs of $17,961 were charged to operations as a result of the reduction of the exercise price of the 292,112 warrants.

5. Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FASB 123R. This change in accounting replaces existing requirements under FASB 123 and eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transaction using APB 25. The compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. For purposes of estimating the fair value of each stock option on the date of grant, the Company utilized the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected volatility factor of the market price of the company’s common stock (as determined by reviewing its historical public market closing prices). Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. Included in the results for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, is $320,000 and $494,231, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense which relates to the fair value of stock options.
 
6.  Subsequent Events
 
        Approximately $3,200,000 in cash has been received in April and thus far in May 2009 due primarily to warrant exercises and sales of equity securities.  The Company has received $1,500,000 from warrant exercises and $700,000 received in advance for pending stock transactions.  The Company has also received $1,000,000 from sales of equity securities which resulted in 1,001,663 shares of common stock and 500,837 additional warrants issued.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to our results of operations and our financial condition together with our consolidated subsidiaries.  This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the statement of operations, including trends which might appear, are not necessarily indicative of future operations.

Capital Structure

Our ability to continue as a going concern is reasonably assured due to our financing completed thus far in 2009 which includes an additional $3,200,000 in cash that has been received in April and thus far in May 2009 due primarily to warrant exercises and an immaterial amount of sales of equity securities. Given our current rate of expenditures, we expect to raise additional capital in 2009 to ensure we continue as a going concern.  However, our existing funds are sufficient to meet minimal necessary expenses during 2009.
 
We have implemented our integrated business plan, including execution of the current and next phases in clinical development of our pharmaceutical products and continued execution of research programs for new research initiatives.
 
We intend to proceed as rapidly as possible with a majority stake asset sale and subsequent licensure of our OTC products that can be sold with a minimum of regulatory compliance and with the further development of revenue sources through a majority stake asset sale and subsequent licensing of our existing medical device and biotech intellectual property portfolio. Although we believe that there is a reasonable basis for our expectation that we will become profitable due to the asset sale of a majority stake via a spin-out transaction of the wholly-owned subsidiary that contains the OTC assets and subsequent licensure of our OTC products, we cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve, or maintain, a level of profitability sufficient to meet our operating expenses.
 
Our current plans include continuing to operate with our four employees during the immediate future, but we have added two additional consultants and anticipate adding two more consultants in the next 12 months. Our current plans also include minimal purchases of new property, plant and equipment, and increased research and development for additional clinical trials.
 
Plan of Operation

With the reorganization of Provectus and PPI and the acquisition and integration into the Company of Valley and Pure-ific, we believe we have obtained a unique combination of core intellectual properties and OTC and other non-core products. This combination represents the foundation for an operating company that we believe will provide both profitability and long-term growth.  In 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, we continued to carefully control expenditures in preparation for the asset sale and licensure or spin out of our OTC products, medical device and biotech technologies, and we will issue equity only when it makes sense and primarily for purposes of attracting strategic investors.
 
In the short term, we intend to develop our business by licensing our existing OTC products, principally Pure-Stick, GloveAid and Pure-ific, and selling a majority stake of the OTC assets.  We are planning the majority sale of the OTC assets via a spin-out transaction of the wholly-owned subsidiary that contains the OTC assets.  We also plan to license our medical device and biotech technologies and sell a majority stake via a spin-out transaction of those non-core wholly-owned subsidiaries.  In the longer term, we expect to continue the process of developing, testing and obtaining the approval of the U. S. Food and Drug Administration for prescription drugs in particular.  Additionally, we have restarted our research programs that will identify additional conditions that our intellectual properties may be used to treat as well as additional treatments for those and other conditions.
 
We have continued to make significant progress with the major research and development projects expected to be ongoing in the next 12 months.  The Phase 2 trial in metastatic melanoma has been significantly completed which is expected to cost approximately $362,000 during the remainder of 2009 and has cost approximately $2,638,000 through March 31, 2009.  Additionally, we planned $675,000 of expenditures in 2007 and 2008 to substantially advance our work with other oncology indications which included the third group of our expanded Phase 1 breast carcinoma clinical trial.  The third group of our expanded Phase 1 breast carcinoma clinical trial was completed in September 2008.  Our Phase 2 psoriasis trial commenced in November 2007 and is expected to cost approximately $1,725,000, of which approximately $1,508,000 has been expended thus far.  Our Phase 2 atopic dermatitis trial commenced in May 2008 and the cost is included in the psoriasis trial budget and actual figures.  Our Phase 1 liver cancer trial is expected to commence in the first half of 2009 and is expected to cost approximately $600,000, of which approximately $501,000 has been expended thus far.  We anticipate expending $678,000 during the remainder of 2009 for direct clinical trial expense.  This includes the remaining 2009 expenditures for all projects currently planned.  The table below summarizes our projects, the actual costs expended to date and costs expected after March 31, 2009.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008

Revenues

OTC Product Revenue was $-0- in both the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.  We discontinued our proof-of-concept program in November 2006 and have therefore ceased selling our OTC products.  There was no medical device revenue in both the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. The lack of medical device revenue resulted due to no emphasis on selling.  The Company has designated the OTC and medical device products as non-core and is considering the sale of the underlying assets in conjunction with the planned spin-out of the respective wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Research and development

Research and development costs of $915,933 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 included payroll of $517,437, consulting and contract labor of $272,083, legal of $51,789, insurance of $32,328, lab supplies and pharmaceutical preparations of $22,175, rent and utilities of $17,807, and depreciation expense of $2,314.  Research and development costs of $1,063,116 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 included payroll of $734,001, consulting and contract labor of $176,045, legal of $91,948, insurance of $18,523, lab supplies and pharmaceutical preparations of $19,492, rent and utilities of $20,793, and depreciation expense of $2,314.  The decrease in payroll is the result of lower stock-based compensation expense and less pension expense due to quarterly versus annual allocation, offset partially by an increase in salaries.  The increase in consulting and contract labor is primarily the result of expense necessary to manage the Phase 2 metastatic melanoma clinical trial which is operating at full speed.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses increased by $134,430 in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $1,299,424 from $1,164,994 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The increase resulted primarily from approximately $260,000 of additional investor relations and conference expenses.  This increase was partially offset by approximately $170,000 of lower payroll expenses for general corporate purposes as a result of lower stock-based compensation expense and less pension expense due to quarterly versus annual allocation, offset partially by an increase in salaries.

Investment income
 
Investment income decreased by $38,731 in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $1,174 from $39,905 in the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease resulted due to lower interest rates on cash and cash equivalents as well as lower balances in 2009 versus 2008.

         Cash Flow
 
 Our cash and cash equivalents were $1,500,000 at March 31, 2009, compared with $2,800,000 at December 31, 2008.  The decrease of $1,300,000 was due primarily to cash of $1,519,000 used in operating activities, partially offset by $219,000 from the exercises of warrants and stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2009.  We have maintained our expenditure rate in 2009 primarily with our clinical trial projects and our investor relations efforts to communicate the progress of the Company.  In addition, approximately $3,200,000 in cash has been received in April and thus far in May 2009 due primarily to warrant exercises and sales of equity securities.  The Company has received $1,500,000 from warrant exercises and $700,000 received in advance for pending stock transactions.  The Company has also received $1,000,000 from sales of equity securities which resulted in 1,001,663 shares of common stock and 500,837 additional warrants issued.

8

At our current cash expenditure rate, our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our current and planned needs in 2009 since we expect additional cash inflows from the exercise of existing warrants and sales of equity securities.  If we do not have sufficient cash inflows from the exercise of existing warrants and sales of equity securities, then we will reduce administrative expenses including management salaries which will enable us to meet minimum expenditures planned during the remainder of 2009.  Since we plan for $678,000 of direct clinical trial expense and $650,000 of fixed expenses to operate during the remainder of 2009, we have enough cash to fund the remainder of the 2009 operations with the cash on hand at March 31, 2009 and the $3,200,000 of additional proceeds received in April and thus far in May 2009. 

We are seeking to improve our cash flow through the majority stake asset sale and licensure of our OTC products as well as other non-core assets.  However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in selling a majority stake of the OTC and other non-core assets via a spin-out transaction and licensing our existing OTC products.  Moreover, even if we are successful in improving our current cash flow position, we nonetheless plan to seek additional funds to meet our long-term requirements in 2010 and beyond.  We anticipate that these funds will come from the proceeds of private placements, the exercise of existing warrants outstanding, or public offerings of debt or equity securities.  We also intend to license our dermatology drug product candidate portfolio once we have completed our Phase 2 psoriasis and atopic eczema studies later in 2009.

Capital Resources

As noted above, our present cash flow is currently sufficient to meet our short-term operating needs.  Excess cash will be used to finance the next phases in clinical development of our pharmaceutical products.  We anticipate that any required funds for our operating and development needs beyond 2009 will come from the proceeds of private placements, the exercise of existing warrants outstanding, or public offerings of debt or equity securities.  While we believe that we have a reasonable basis for our expectation that we will be able to raise additional funds, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete additional financing in a timely manner.  In addition, any such financing may result in significant dilution to shareholders.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Long-Lived Assets

We review the carrying values of our long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever an event or change in circumstances indicates that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.  Any long-lived assets held for disposal are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair value less cost to sell.  Management has determined there to be no impairment.

Patent Costs
 
Internal patent costs are expensed in the period incurred. Patents purchased are capitalized and amortized over their remaining lives, which range from 8-13 years.  Annual amortization of the patents is expected to be approximately $671,000 for the next year.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
We adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (FASB 123R), effective January 1, 2006 under the modified prospective method, which recognizes compensation cost beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of FASB 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date and (b) based on the requirements of FASB 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of FASB 123R that remain unvested on the effective date.
 
The compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued and is expensed on a straight-line basis. For purposes of estimating the fair value of each stock option, on the date of grant, we utilized the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected volatility factor of the market price of the company’s common stock (as determined by reviewing its historical public market closing prices). Because our employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

The Company records the fair value of warrants granted to non-employees in exchange for services in accordance with EITF 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.”  Warrants to non-employees are generally vested and nonforfeitable upon the date of the grant.  Accordingly fair value is determined on the grant date.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred. An allocation of payroll expenses to research and development is made based on a percentage estimate of time spent. The research and development costs include the following: consulting - IT, depreciation, lab equipment repair, lab supplies and pharmaceutical preparations, insurance, legal - patents, office supplies, payroll expenses, rental - building, repairs, software, taxes and fees, and utilities.

Accounting Pronouncement

None.

Contractual Obligations - Leases
 
We lease office and laboratory space in Knoxville, Tennessee, on an annual basis, renewable for one year at our option. We are committed to pay a total of $13,500 in lease payments over three months, which is the remainder of our current lease term at March 31, 2009.
