PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Frawley Corporation is currently engaged in real estate development.
The Health Services division was terminated in 2002 with the sale of the assets and operations on February 1, 2002 and October 1, 2002, respectively.
Frawley Corporation is a Delaware Corporation organized in 1969. References to the Company include references to Frawley Corporation and its Subsidiaries.
Real Estate
The Company’s real estate consists of approximately 52 acres of largely undeveloped land in the Santa Monica Mountains, northwest of Los Angeles. The properties owned by the Company represent an aggregate investment of approximately $812,000 as of the end of 2005, and are subject to mortgage debt held by various stockholders, including the Chief Executive Officer and related family members, aggregating approximately $2,338,000. The Company continues to invest resources in the real estate and it will continue its efforts to sell the land. (See Item 6, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations).
Employees
Frawley Corporation and its Subsidiaries employ 1 person. Due to the Company’s severe financial condition, the Company reduced its staff to Michael Frawley, President, and one part time assistant since the third quarter of 2004.
Item 2. Properties
Frawley Corporation and its Subsidiaries operate out of office space from a related party at no charge. (For a description of investment properties, see Item 1. Business - Real Estate).
Item 3: Legal Proceedings
The Company is named as a defendant in the Chatham Brothers Toxic Waste Cleanup Lawsuit. In February 1991, the Company was identified as one of many “Potentially Responsible Parties” (PRPs) in the Chatham Brothers toxic waste cleanup site case,
2
Table of Contents
filed by the State of California - Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and involved the Harley Pen Company, which was previously owned by the Company.
On December 31, 1991, the Company and approximately 90 other companies were named in a formal complaint. The Company joined a group of defendants, each of whom was so notified and are referred to as Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) for the purpose of negotiating with the DTSC and for undertaking remediation of the site.
In January 1998 the final remediation plan was approved by the State and in January of 1999 the PRPs consented to the plan and related allocation of costs. The consent decree was approved by the Court.
As of December 31, 2005 the Company had paid into the PRP Group approximately $840,000, which includes the assignment of a $250,000 note receivable with recourse, and had a cash call contribution payable of approximately $103,000. In addition, the Company has accrued short-term and long-term undiscounted liabilities of $115,000 and $1,220,000 respectively, to cover future costs under the remediation plan.
During the past several years, the Company has requested a Hardship Withdrawal Settlement with the PRP group due to the Company’s financial condition. The PRP group has continually denied the Company’s request. In December 2003, the Company again formally requested a Hardship Withdrawal Settlement with the PRP Group. The Company’s proposal was for payment of $240,000 over four years in exchange for complete release from all further legal and financial responsibility related to the environmental liability. On July 16, 2004, the Company entered into a settlement agreement note in the amount of $240,000 to be paid as follows: $100,000 on December 31, 2004, $50,000 on December 31, 2005, $50,000 on December 31, 2006 and $40,000 on December 31, 2007. The Company will not be fully released from the environmental liability until the settlement agreement note of $240,000 and the assigned note in the amount of $250,000 are paid in full. In 2005 the PRP Group received a principal payment related to the assigned note of $50,000 and $12,000 in interest, compared to a $50,000 principal payment and $16,000 in accrued interest in 2004. In March 2006, the Company made a payment in the amount of $150,000 related to the settlement agreement note representing the payments due on December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005.
If Frawley Corporation complies with the terms of the notes, the Company will not be responsible for any additional payments to the Chatham Site PRP Group for the financing of the remediation action plan approved by the State of California in

1999. However, the PRP Group refused to indemnify Frawley Corporation for any third party lawsuit related to the Chatham Site Clean up Site that are not considered in the remediation action plan approved in 1999.
In June 2004, the Corporation received a new environmental claim against its former Harley Pen division in the amount of approximately $99,000. The claim has been made by the United States Environmental Toxic Agency concerning the Company’s alleged responsibility for the Omega Chemical Superfund Site. The Company has recorded the liability in the year ended December 31, 2004. In December 2005, the Company received a demand for payment form the EPA and negotiated a payment plan which required the total liability, plus interest to be paid in full by January 2007.
The Company is in dispute with its 1988 licensee over the trademark “Classics Illustrated.” In 1998, The Company terminated its license agreement for breach of contract. The licensee has objected to the termination stating that the Company failed to notify the licensee of a potential problem with the trademark in Greece. A Greek court has ruled against a sub licensee in Greece. In the license agreement the Company notified the licensee that the licensee would have to investigate the international trademark involving “Classics Illustrated.” Although the parent company of the licensee has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection, management believes that there is no probable risk of loss related to this dispute.

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Stock and Related Stockholders Matters
The Company’s stock was delisted by the Pacific Stock Exchange on December 1, 1992. There is currently no public trading for the stock.

Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overall Summary
The net loss from the Company was $415,000 in 2005 as compared to a net loss of $453,000 in 2004 (see following discussion of real estate).
Interest expense for 2005 was $212,000 (net of $12,000 of interest income) compared to $220,000 (net of $16,000 of interest income) for 2004. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $208,000 for 2005 compared to $277,000 for 2004.
Real Estate
The real estate operating loss before interest expense was $118,000 in 2005 as compared to an operating loss before interest expense of $11,000 in 2004.
In February 2004, the Company received notice from Los Angeles County that the county intends to severely restrict grading permits and may require condition use permits for grading on the Company’s property. In addition, the County of Los Angeles announced its intention to restrict the building of residences on three of the Company’s seven parcels of land because of new ridgeline building ordinances. Prior to the ordinance deadline, the Company received grandfathering status on three of its seven parcels. Because the grandfathering clause is conditional, it is unclear whether or not the Company will be able to take advantage of this grandfathering status until the Company completes the permit process. The above regulations potentially require multi-year processing to reach the point that a parcel can be sold to a third party.

Table of Contents
If an agreement cannot be reached with Los Angeles County, these new regulations may force the Company to liquidate its real estate, make settlements with its lenders and close down its real estate development business. As of the report date, no decision has been made by management regarding liquidation, nor can they determine the potential financial impact to the Company. Accordingly, the December 31, 2005 financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from these new and more stringent regulations.
Subsequent to year end, the Company sold one parcel of land for $980,000 and recorded a gain of approximately $394,000. Proceeds from the sale were used to pay off secured debt, provide funds to complete improvements required by the sale, make payments on past due amounts related to the Chatham site, make partial payments related to the Omega site, pay past due property taxes, pay other creditors including Michael Frawley, President, and to provide operating cash.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s recurring losses from continuing operations and difficulties in generating cash flow sufficient to meet its obligations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Real Estate and Corporate overhead continue to produce losses that the Company is having difficulty absorbing. The required investments in real estate are currently funded from loans or contributions from related parties.
The Company has borrowed additional funds from the Chief Executive Officer and his family members as needed, to meet real estate investments and working capital needs. During 2005, the Company borrowed $195,000. As of December 31, 2005, the total notes due were $2,338,000. The notes bear interest at 10%, are secured by the Company’s real estate investments and became due on various dates ranging from 2001 through 2006. The Company has defaulted on substantially all of the notes under their terms. As of the date of this report, no action has been taken on the delinquent amounts.
The Company received approximately $105,000 during 2004 from the family members as an advance on property that they intend to purchase. The specified property has not been identified and balances for the deposits for real estate were $374,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
In addition, the Company has received capital contributions of $1,000 in 2005 and $68,000 in 2004, from family members to help meet payroll requirements. The funds do not have to be repaid and are accounted for as capital contributions.

Other Events and Required FD Disclosure
On March 1, 2005 the Company filed with the SEC amended forms 10K for 2003 and 2002.
These reports on Form 10-KSB/A (“Amendment No.1”) are being filed to disclose items 9 through 12 previously omitted from Part III of the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, filed by the Frawley Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“the Company”)on March 18, 2004 and May 23, 2003 in compliance with General Instructions E.3 to Form 10-KSB. Although the Company previously reported its related party transactions that occurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, and 2002 in the financial statements of the Company’s 10-KSB filed on March 18, 2004 and May 23, 2003, the reports did not contain certain information pertaining to the Company’s Officers, directors and stockholders controlling more than five percent of the Company’s outstanding stock.

Such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. The Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, recognized that any set of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. |
Within 90 days prior to the filing date of this annual report 10-K, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
| (b) | There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in any other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation in connection with the preparation of this annual report on Form 10-K. |

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Frawley Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Frawley Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s recurring losses from operations, difficulties in generating sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations and negative working capital raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has relied upon financing from related parties and sales of assets to continue its operations

and is seeking sources of long-term financing as it reorganizes its business. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Frawley Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries: Schick Shadel Hospital, Inc. and Sun Sail Development Company (Sun Sail). In addition, Sun Sail is the sole member of Sunny Hill L.L.C. (Sunny Hill), which was formed in 2003. Sunny Hill did not have any transactions for 2004 and 2005. All significant intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Net Income Loss per Common Share – Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
Income Taxes – The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” effective January 1, 1993. Accordingly, the Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date multiplied by the applicable tax rates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk – Certain financial instruments potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. These financial instruments consisted primarily of cash.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments (cash, other assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses) approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The carrying amount of the notes payable to stockholders approximate fair value based on current rates for similar debt of the same remaining maturity.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – The Company evaluates a property for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. There was no impairment charge recognized during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
Gains/Losses from Sales of Real Estate – The Company recognizes gains/losses from sales of real estate at the time of sale using the full accrual method, provided that various criteria related to the terms of the transactions and any subsequent involvement by the Company with the properties sold are met. If the criteria are not met, the Company defers the gains and recognizes them when the criteria are met or using the installment or cost recovery methods as appropriate under the circumstances.
2. OPERATING RESULTS AND MANAGEMENT PLANS
The Company’s net loss for 2005 was $415,000 as compared to net loss for 2004 of $453,000. Working capital and operating cash flow continue to be negative.
Management’s plans for 2006 will include the continued efforts to sell its real estate holdings and minimize additional investments that require borrowing.
The Company’s real estate investment consists of approximately 52 acres of largely undeveloped land in the Santa Monica Mountains, northwest of Los Angeles. The Company is continuing to pursue various options with respect to selling a significant portion of its real estate.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company sold one parcel of land of approximately 5 acres to a non-related third party for $450,000, and recorded a gain on the sale in the amount of approximately $143,000. The Company used approximately $368,000 of the proceeds to retire related debt.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has borrowed additional funds from the Chief Executive Officer and his family members as needed, to meet real estate investment and working capital needs. During 2005, the Company borrowed an additional $195,000 from the related parties. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the balances due were $2,338,000 and $2,143,000, respectively (see Note 5). The notes bear interest at 10%, are secured by the Company’s real estate investments and became due on various dates ranging from 2001 through 2006. The Company has defaulted on substantially all of the notes under their individual terms. As of the date of this report, no action has been taken on the delinquent amounts.

6. LITIGATION
The Company is named as a defendant in the Chatham Brothers toxic waste cleanup lawsuit. In February 1991, the Company was identified as one of many “Potentially Responsible Parties” (PRPs) in the Chatham Brothers toxic waste cleanup site case, filed by the State of California Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and involving the Hartley Pen Company previously owned by the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004
On December 31, 1991, the Company and approximately 90 other companies were named in a formal complaint. The Company joined a group of defendants, each of whom was so notified and which are referred to as Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) for the purpose of negotiating with the DTSC and for undertaking remediation of the site. Between 1995 and 1998, the State of California adjusted the estimated cost of remediation on several occasions. As a result, the Company has increased their recorded liability to reflect their share of the changes. In January of 1998, the final remediation plan was approved by the State and in January of 1999, the PRP’s consented to it, as well as the allocation of costs, and the consent decree was approved by the Court. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had paid over $840,000, which includes the assignment of a $250,000 note receivable with recourse, into the PRP group and had a cash call contribution payable of approximately $103,000. In addition, the Company carried accrued short-term and long-term liabilities of $115,000 and $1,220,000, respectively.
During the past several years, the Company has requested a Hardship Withdrawal Settlement with the PRP Group due to the Company’s financial condition. The PRP group has continually denied the Company’s request. In December 2003, the Company again formally requested a Hardship Withdrawal Settlement with the PRP Group. The Company’s proposal was a payment of $240,000 over four years in exchange for complete release from all further legal and financial responsibility related to the environmental liability. On July 16, 2004, the Company entered in a settlement agreement with the Chatham Site PRP Group Trust for a $240,000 payment to be paid as follows: $100,000 on December 31, 2004, $50,000 on December 31, 2005, $50,000 on December 31, 2006 and $40,000 on December 31, 2007. The Company will not be fully released from the environmental liability until the settlement agreement note of $240,000 and the assigned note in the amount of $250,000 are paid in full. In 2005, the PRP Group received a principal payment related to the assigned note of $50,000 and interest accrued of $12,000, compared to a $50,000 principal payment and $16,000 accrued interest in 2004. In March 2006, the Company made a payment in the amount of $150,000 related to the settlement agreement note representing the payments due on December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005.
If Frawley Corporation complies with the terms of the notes, the Company will not be responsible for any additional payments to the Chatham Site PRP Group Trust for the financing of the remediation action plan approved by the State of California in 1999. However, the PRP Group refused to indemnify Frawley Corporation for any third party lawsuits related to the Chatham site clean up or for any new claims by the State of California involving the Chatham site that are not considered in the remediation action plan approved in 1999.

In June 2004 the Corporation received a new environmental claim against its former Harley pen division in the amount of approximately $99,000. The claim has been made by the United States Environmental Toxic Agency concerning the Company’s alleged responsibility for the Omega Chemical Superfund Site. The Company has recorded the liability in the year ended December 31, 2004. Subsequent to year end, the Company agreed to pay the liability in installment payments through January 2007 and made its first payment of approximately $12,000 in January 2006.
The Company is in dispute with its 1988 licensee over the trademark “Classics Illustrated.” In 1998, the Company terminated its license agreement for breach of contract. The licensee has objected to the termination stating that the Company failed to notify the licensee of a potential problem with the trademark in Greece. A Greek court has ruled against a sub licensee in Greece. The Company believes that the license agreement supports that it adequately notified the licensee but would have to investigate the international trademark involving “Classics Illustrated.” Management believes that there is no probable risk of loss related to this dispute.
7. INCOME TAXES
The Company does not carry a provision for income taxes due to tax losses in 2005 and 2004, other than provisions for minimum state income taxes that are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities for federal income tax purposes at December 31, 2005 and 2004 consist of the following:
