NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information pursuant to Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles 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, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2006.

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. New Accounting Pronouncements

Share-Based Payment

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment, (“FASB 123R”)”. These changes in accounting replace existing requirements under FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FASB 123”), and eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transaction using APB Opinion No.25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). The compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. This Statement did not change the accounting for similar transactions involving parties other than employees.

The Company adopted 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 Company has estimated that an additional $1,980,000 will be expensed over the applicable remaining vesting periods for all share-based payments granted to employees on or before December 31, 2005 which remained unvested on January 1, 2006. The Company anticipates that more compensation costs will be recorded in the future if the use of options for employees and director compensation continues as in the past.

4. 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, warrants, and convertible debt as they are antidilutive. Potential common shares excluded from the calculation at March 31, 2006 are 27,288,791 warrants, 4,858,505 options and 1,626,486 shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt and interest. Included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding are 33,583 common shares committed to be issued but not outstanding at March 31, 2006.

5. Equity and Debt Transactions

(a) In January 2006, the Company issued 5,235,352 shares committed to be issued at December 31, 2005 for shares sold in 2005. In February 2006, the Company issued 1,029,460 shares committed to be issued at December 31, 2005 for stock issuance costs related to shares sold in 2005. The total value for these shares was $964,676 which was based on the market value of the shares issued and was recorded as an accrued liability at December 31, 2005. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company completed a private placement transaction with 5 accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold 466,833 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.75 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $350,125. In connection with the sale of common stock, the Company also issued warrants to the investors to purchase up to 466,833 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.935 per share. The Company paid $35,013 and issued 46,683 shares of common stock at a fair market value of $41,815 to Chicago Investment Group, L.L.C. as placement agent for this transaction. The cash costs have been off-set against the proceeds received.

(b) In January 2006, the Company entered into a debt conversion agreement with one of the March 2005 accredited investors for $250,000 of its convertible debt which was converted into 333,333 shares of common stock at $0.75 per share. In 2006, the Company entered into a total of three debt conversion agreements with two of the March 2005 accredited investors for an aggregate of $500,000 of convertible debt which was converted into 666,667 shares of common stock at $0.75 per share.

In 2006, $620,440 of the total debt discount has been amortized which includes $356,756 of the unamortized portion of the debt discount related to the converted debt at the time of the debt conversions. In 2006, $183,955 of the deferred loan costs have been amortized which includes $103,792 of the unamortized portion of the deferred loan costs related to the converted debt at the time of the debt conversions.

At March 31, 2006, the March 2005 convertible debentures totaled $414,553, net of debt discount of $310,447. The full amount is current at March 31, 2006. The Company chose to pay the quarterly interest due at December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006 in common stock instead of cash. As a result, accrued interest at December 31, 2005 of $50,486 was paid in 65,742 shares of common stock resulting in additional interest expense of $10,922. The shares were issued January 9, 2006. The accrued interest due March 31, 2006 of $33,274 was converted into 35,939 shares of common stock resulting in additional interest expense of $4,975. 7,656 of these shares were issued on March 20, 2006 and the remaining shares of 28,283 were issued on March 31, 2006.

(c) As of March 31, 2006, the Company had $468,836 in principal and $13,023 in accrued interest owed to holders of the November 2005 convertible debentures due on November 26, 2006. At March 31, 2006, the Company recorded additional interest expense of $8,354 related to the beneficial conversion feature of the interest on the November 2005 convertible debt.

In 2006, $37,360 of the debt discount related to the November 2005 debt has been amortized. At March 31, 2006, the November 2005 convertible debentures totaled $372,188, net of debt discount of $96,648. The entire principal, net of debt discount, was recorded as a current liability. In conjunction with the November 26, 2005 financing, the Company incurred debt issuance costs. In 2006, $115,552 of the debt issuance costs have been amortized.

(d) In December 2005, the Company committed to issue 689,246 shares to consultants in exchange for services rendered. 33,583 shares of common stock were not issued as of March 31, 2006 at a value of $30,225 and therefore have been recorded as an accrued liability at March 31, 2006. The remaining shares were issued in February 2006. The total value for these shares was $620,418 which was based on the market value of the shares issued and was recorded as an accrued liability at December 31, 2005. In February 2006, the Company issued 30,000 shares to consultants in exchange for services. Consulting costs charged to operations were $26,100.

(e) In December 2005, the Company approved a request from the shareholder to exchange the total loan amount of $174,000 plus accrued interest of $24,529 for 264,705 shares of common stock at $0.75 per share which were committed to be issued at December 31, 2005. These shares were issued on January 3, 2006.

(f) In January 2006, 10,000 warrants were exercised in a cashless exercise resulting in 4,505 shares issued.

6. 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 will be 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, 2006, is $261,833 of stock-based compensation expense which relates to the fair value of stock options granted prior to 2006 which continue to vest over the related employees requisite service periods which generally end by January 2009.

For the three months ended March 31, 2005 the Company adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123). If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based on the fair value at the grant dates, consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net loss per share would have been changed to the pro forma amount indicated below:

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2005
Net loss, as reported	$(1,371,583)
Add stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net loss	3,938
Less total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under the fair value based method for all award	(144,500)
Pro form net loss	$(1,512,145)
Basic and diluted loss per common share, as reported	$ (0.08)
Basic and diluted loss per common share, pro forma	$ (0.09)

Two employees of the Company exercised a total of 114,979 options during the three months ended March 31, 2006 at an exercise price of $1.10 per share of common stock for $126,477.

7. United States Treasury Notes

United States Treasury Notes are classified as held-to-maturity securities and all investments mature within one year. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost which approximates market.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

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-QSB. 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 assured due to our financing completed during December 2005. At the current rate of expenditures, we will not need to raise additional capital until late 2007.

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 the asset sale and licensure or spin out of our OTC products that can be sold with a minimum of regulatory compliance and with the further development of revenue sources through 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 and licensure or spin out 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 five employees during the immediate future, but we have added additional consultants and anticipate adding others 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 OTC products and core intellectual properties. This combination represents the foundation for an operating company that we believe will provide both profitability and long-term growth. In 2006, we will 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 to the Company and primarily for purposes of attracting strategic investors.

In the short term, we intend to develop our business by selling the OTC assets and licensing our existing OTC products, principally Pure-Stick, GloveAid and Pure-ific. We are also now considering a spin out of the wholly owned subsidiary that contains the OTC assets. We will also sell and/or license our medical device and biotech technologies. 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 of 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 and additional treatments for those and other conditions.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005

Revenues

OTC Product Revenue decreased by $1,708 in the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $686 from $2,394 in the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease in OTC Product Revenue resulted primarily from the lack of sales of Pure-ific in retail stores since we have discontinued that program after establishing a proof of concept. Medical Device Revenue decreased by $984 in the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $-0- from $984 in the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease in Medical Device Revenue resulted due to the absence of any effort to sell devices.

Research and development

The Company has completed the planning phase for the major research and development projects anticipated in the next 9 months. The Company's Phase 1 metastatic melanoma and breast carcinoma clinical trials are expected to be completed in mid 2006 for less than $1,000,000 in the aggregate. At that time the planning phase for the expected Phase 2 trials will be completed, which cost approximately $1,000,000 in the aggregate. The Company’s Phase 2 psoriasis trial is expected to commence in mid to late 2006 and will cost approximately $1,500,000 over 12 to 24 months. The Company’s Phase 1 liver cancer trial is expected to cost less than $500,000 in total, and is expected to commence in mid to late 2006. Research and development costs of $450,510 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 included depreciation expense of $864, consulting of $55,219, lab supplies of $17,217, insurance of $8,208, legal of $44,622, payroll of $310,836, and rent and utilities of $13,544. Research and development costs of $293,027 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 included consulting of $89,083, insurance of $23,592, legal of $44,821, payroll of $129,931, and rent and utilities of $5,600. The increase in payroll is the result of raises, bonuses and the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses increased by $119,769 in the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $702,519 from $582,751 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase resulted primarily from higher payroll expenses for general corporate purposes as a result of raises, bonuses and the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R.

Cash Flow

As of March 31, 2006, we held approximately $6,200,000 in cash and cash equivalents, and United States Treasury Notes. At our current cash expenditure rate, this amount will be sufficient to meet our needs until late 2007. We have been increasing our expenditure rate by accelerating some of our research programs for new research initiatives; in addition, we are seeking to improve our cash flow through the asset sale and licensure of our OTC products. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in selling the OTC assets and licensing our existing OTC products. Moreover, even if we are successful in improving our current cash flow position, we nonetheless plan to require additional funds to meet our long-term needs in 2007 and beyond. We anticipate these funds will come from the proceeds of private placements, the exercise of existing warrants outstanding, or public offerings of debt or equity securities.

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 current and next phases in clinical development of our pharmaceutical products. We anticipate that any required funds for our operating and development needs beyond 2006 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. For further information on funding sources, please see the notes to our financial statements included in this report.
