CHEYENNE, here is the Q&A again. I was surprised hardly no one wanted to spend the energy to add/update/validate points. But I am researching them as I find time...it just would go so much faster if only 20-30 people did 1/2 hour of research to give substantiation as to why we are invested here. I just figured nobody really cared, so I have just been working on it more on my own. Research keeps me from getting all bent out of shape, anyway.

I do agree with much of what you said, I think we need to get a little 'proactive' on the board and do some productive things. It surely can't hurt.

That's also why I thought a good email periodically would help us as investors, too - in addition to getting out important news. IMO, by the last of the year things are really going to start popping around here, hopefully even sooner.

Anyone feel free to add questions or answers. Again, looking for something IN WRITING, email, interview, etc. - not simply opinion, unless the question calls for opinion.

All The Best

Executive Summary
Based on the subsequent analysis in this report, the intellectual property associated with the patent, know-how and trademark positions of PSP is valued at $32 million.
Background
The worldwide analgesic market is variously estimated at $30 to $75 billion dollars, with the U.S. market being in excess of $10 billion annually.
Approximately 84% of the U.S. population regularly uses non-prescription analgesics for minor pain relief for conditions such as headache, muscle ache or backache (Simmons Market Research, 2000). Over $2 billion worth of such analgesics are sold annually by supermarkets, drugstores and mass merchandisers.
The non-prescription analgesics market encompasses pain-relief medications having four principal active chemical ingredients, aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen and naproxen sodium. Brand names are well-established in each of these segments, and include Tylenol (acetaminophen), Advil and Motrin (ibuprofen), Aleve (naproxen sodium), Bayer (aspirin or combination), Excedrin (acetaminophen), Midol and Pamprin (varied formulas for menstrual pain relief). There is a significant discrepancy between actual differentiation of near-homogeneous product formulations in this market segment, and the perceived differentiation among different brands, resulting from advertising. The ratio of advertising to sales in the nonprescription analgesics industry among various major manufacturers can range from 20 to 50%.
Aspirin has a number of inherent advantages. Like other pain relievers of the type discussed above, aspirin is effective for treatment of pain, fevers, arthritis, and headaches, but unlike such other analgesic products, aspirin is the only pain reliever shown to reduce the risk of heart attack. In addition, aspirin is the oldest and best established of the common pain relievers, with well over a century of use throughout the world. In the field of aspirin pain relievers, effervescent soluble aspirin products such as Aspro or Disprin are quite popular in other countries such as Australia, Canada, Great Britain and New Zealand. In the U.S., Alka-Seltzer, an effervescent formulation including aspirin, sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. Alka-Seltzer is the world's number one cure for hangover and is currently sold in over 100 countries, generating annual sales in excess of $100 million. Overall, the soluble aspirin products market worldwide exceeds $2 billion.

http://www.otcmarkets.com/otciq/ajax/showFinancialReportById.pdf?id=52066
SERIES OF PREFERRED STOCK
On May 2, 2011 the Board of Directors of Pharmstar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the authorization and designation of a Series D Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors had previously approved (March 2011) amendments to the Company’s Series B and Series C Preferred Stock.
The three series, designated “Series B,” “Series C,” and “Series D,” were created to allow the original investors of the Company to convert their collective investment into the Company’s public equity, to allow certain existing investors to invest additional capital into the Company, and to provide a mechanism for new investors
in the Company, respectively.
The three series of preferred stock have a conversion to common stock feature, which shall be non-dilutive to the current shareholder base, as certain issued and outstanding blocks of common stock shall be retired to the Company’s treasury, thereby providing room for the conversions under the current authorized shares of common stock (1,001,184,352 shares). Until buyers of these preferred series exercise warrant options that come with the offerings, (at a strike price of $0.25/share), the Company will continue with its plan to not increase authorized shares. Such exercise of warrants cannot occur sooner than 12 months from the date of issuance of theses series of preferred stock.
Series B (issued to the original investors) is structured so that its shares convert into the Company’s common stock over a period of 8 quarters (1/8 of their Series B shares each quarter), at market price at the time of conversion, beginning one year after the issuance of the Series B shares. This series also provides for five-year warrants to purchase 5 common shares for every share of preferred stock owned at a strike price of $0.25 per share. Additionally, holders of Series B preferred stock have the right to receive a proportionate share of 5% of the Company’s net profits during the first three years of operations. This Series B is only available to the original private investors in the Company since its inception in 1993.
Series C (issued to current existing shareholders, by mutual agreement) is structured so that its shares convert into the Company’s common stock at $0.10 per share one year after the issuance of the Series C shares. This series also provides for five-year warrants to purchase 5 common shares for every share of preferred stock owned at a strike price of $0.25 per share. This Series C is limited to certain accredited investors that helped to fund the Company at the time of the merger in March 2011.
Series D (issued to new investors who will be investing new capital directly into the company) is structured so that its shares convert into the Company’s common stock at 80% of the market price at the time of conversion, one year after the issuance of the Series D shares. This series also provides for five-year warrants to purchase 5 common shares for every share of preferred stock owned at a strike price of $0.25 per share. Additionally, holders of Series D preferred stock have the right to receive a proportionate share of 5% of the Company’s net profits during the first three years of operations. This Series D is the only preferred stock series that is available to new accredited investors.

On May 10, 2011 Pharmstar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) updated its corporate profile on the OTC Markets website to reflect the maximum number of shares available to be traded without restrictive legend: 92,000,049.

How can the company increase in value before the product is even being manufactured?
The patents alone have value – company has reported offers to buy only the patent.
Each step of validation provides a better groundwork for proving themselves.
With a small float – 92 million – once more investors keep their shares due to the potential, the share price should rise


What is the marketing strategy for Pharmstar Pharmaceuticals?
http://www.otcmarkets.com/otciq/ajax/showFinancialReportById.pdf?id=48798
Plan of Operation
Market conditions favoring the new field of Pain Management are now assuming an expansive dimension of therapeutic and commercial opportunity, and PharmStar’s AQUAPRIN is primed to assume a position of market leadership. It is especially noted that other major analgesic products are introducing liquid versions of their pain relievers. Liquid versions are beginning to take hold, which is especially good for AQUAPRIN, since it is in liquid form, although much more effective and competitive. Indeed, AQUAPRIN, uniquely fast acting and safer to the stomach, exhibits many important pharmacological, and commercial advantages over all other aspirin products including, especially, aspirin itself. Rapid market penetration is expected owing to AQUAPRIN ’s unique selling proposition. AQUAPRIN is also superior in effectiveness than any other OTC pain reliever. In the US, no oral competing products exist, in terms of potency, rapid onset of action, and gastric tolerance. Neither does any competing product exists that can deliver a comparably high percentage of un-degraded salicylates per analgesic or cardio protective dose.

1. It will, for this reason, be strategically launched in such target sectors as AARP, hospitals and nursing home pharmacies, and by direct marketing, with detail samples and technical data, to medical professionals, as well as via special “2-for-1” buying incentives for distributors. Internet banners, infomercials, and consumer hot-lines will likewise be deployed after the initial 6 months, as will dedicated e-commerce, permitting direct
purchase of AQUAPRIN from the Company. A special information and product campaign will be aimed toward emergency medical service organizations.

2. The Company recognizes the difficulty for a new product to secure prominent shelf space in drugstores. Its strategy will, therefore, depend on vigorous sales promotion and highly visible point-of-purchase displays at high-traffic consumer corridors. The company feels that the product is so superior to all other OTC pain relievers, that once tried with free samples, the public will demand the product. Also, local-media coupons and direct marketing will be creatively deployed by the Company to get its products distributed.
The Company will also attempt to make a strategic alliance with a major pharmaceutical manufacturer and/or a pharmaceutical distribution company.

3. The Company’s strategic marketing plan includes English/Spanish promotional, packaging and medicinal insert formats. Overall Hispanic growth demographics show manifold increases in every quadrant of this population sector over the past 3 decades.
AQUAPRIN’s bilingual debut also translates into easier brand-recognition and penetration of Mexican, Central and South American markets as soon as practicable, and without having to revamp or redesign product packaging or advertising.

4. Once The Company’s brand name is established in the market, the public is expected to express its awareness of AQUAPRIN’ s benefits by seeking out and purchasing the product on its own initiative. Since there exists no alternative sodium-free soluble analgesic product, AQUAPRIN should enjoy a market dominance.

5. A prescription dose form will be marketed through doctors.

If Pharmstar does not receive financing, will they dilute share structure to raise capital?
http://www.otcmarkets.com/otciq/ajax/showFinancialReportById.pdf?id=52066
The three series of preferred stock have a conversion to common stock feature, which shall be non-dilutive to the current shareholder base, as certain issued and outstanding blocks of common stock shall be retired to the Company’s treasury,
http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/PHAR/news
Mr. Phykitt continued, "This was a monumental day for me, and for the Company. It is a day that we have worked so hard for and have endured to create. I feel that I now can get on with my work of bringing this new product to life and building a great company."
The Company did not issue any type of a new debt instrument, nor did the Company dilute its existing common share capital structure in order to finance the transaction, which is consistent with the company's objective of minimizing future dilution of its shareholder base.
http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=47333789
The Company has received an offer to purchase the building, and is currently assessing the offer. Mr. Phykitt concluded, "I made a commitment to shareholders when we restructured the capitalization table that the Company has no need to dilute its common stock for at least the next six months. This decision will not affect that commitment."


How does one know that Mr. Phykitt will accomplish his goal?
No one knows for certain – any investment involves risk.
The company is transparent to its investors and ready to answer questions.
