NOTE 1: – GENERAL

 

 

A.

Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. (“the Company”), a Nevada corporation, was incorporated and commenced operations on May 11, 2001, under the name A. I. Software Inc. that was changed as of June 30, 2003 to Pluristem Life Systems Inc. On November 26, 2007, The Company’s name was changed again from Pluristem Life Systems, Inc. to Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary, Pluristem Ltd. (“the subsidiary”) that was incorporated under the laws of Israel.

 

 

B.

The Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts towards conducting research and development of Mesenchymal stem cell production technology and the commercialization of cell therapy products. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage, as defined in statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 “Accounting and reporting by Development stage Enterprises”. In the course of such activities, the Company and its subsidiary have sustained operating losses and expect such losses to continue in the foreseeable future. The Company and its subsidiary have not generated any revenues or product sales and have not achieved profitable operations or positive cash flows from operations. The Company’s deficit accumulated during the development stage aggregated to $22,946 through March 31, 2008 and incurred net loss of $7,428 and negative cash flow from operating activities in the amount of $2,867 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. There is no assurance that profitable operations, if ever achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis.

 

 

 

The Company plans to continue to finance its operations with a combination of stock issuance and private placements and in the longer term, revenues from product sales. There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing needed for the long-term development and commercialization of its planned products.

 

 

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

 

C.

As of December 10, 2007, the Company’s shares of common stock are traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol PSTI. The shares were previously traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “PLRS.OB”. On May 7, 2007, the Company’s shares also began trading on Europe’s Frankfurt Stock Exchange, under the symbol PJT.

 

 

D.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared as of March 31, 2008, in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles relating to the preparation of financial statements for interim periods. Accordingly, they do not include all 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.

E.

In November 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a one (1) for two hundred (200) reverse split of the Company’s common stock, which became effective on November 26, 2007. Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split two hundred common stocks of $0.00001 par value were converted and reclassified as one common stock of $0.00001 par value. Accordingly, all references to number of shares, common stock and per share data in the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis. Fractional shares created as a result of the stock split were rounded up to the next whole share. As a result of the rounding up effect, the Company issued additional 568 common stock with no consideration.

NOTE 2: – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

a.

The significant accounting policies applied in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2007 are applied consistently in these consolidated financial statements, except as detailed below:

 

 

 

Effective July 1, 2007 the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting of uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This Interpretation prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statements recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

 

 

 

The adoption of FIN 48 has not resulted in any adjustments to existing reserves for income taxes and had no significant impact on the Company’s financial position.

 

 

b.

Impact of recently issued accounting standards

 

 

1. SFAS No. 157:

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). This statement provides a single definition of fair value, a framework for measuring fair value, and expanded disclosures concerning fair value. Previously, different definitions of fair value were contained in various accounting pronouncements creating inconsistencies in measurement and disclosures. SFAS No. 157 applies under those previously issued pronouncements that prescribe fair value as the relevant measure of value, except Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”) and related interpretations. The statement does not apply to accounting standard that require or permit measurement similar to fair value but are not intended to represent fair value. This statement will apply effective July 1, 2008 to the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157.

Impact of recently issued accounting standards (cont.)

 

 

 

2. SFAS No. 159:

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SAFS No. 159”). This statement provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Generally accepted accounting principles have required different measurement attributes for different assets and liabilities that can create artificial volatility in earnings. SAFS No. 159’s objective is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. This statement will apply effective July 1, 2008 to the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159.

 

 

 

3. SFAS No. 160:

 

In December 2007 the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Non-Controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 requires all entities to report non-controlling (minority) interests in subsidiaries as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 requires that transactions between an entity and non-controlling interests be treated as equity transactions. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after July 1, 2008. The Company currently owns 100% of its subsidiary and as such, adoption of SFAS 160 is not expected to have a significant impact on its financial position and results of operation.

 

 

 

4. EITF 07-3:

 

On June 27, 2007 Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 07-3 “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Good or Services Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities (“EITF 07-3”) was issued. EITF 07-3 provides that nonrefundable advance payments made for goods or services to be used in future research and development activities should be deferred and capitalized until such time as the related goods or services are delivered or are performed, at which point the amounts would be recognized as an expense. This standard is effective for new contracts entered into after July 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting EITF 07-3.

 

 

 

5. SAB 110:

 

On December 21, 2007 the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“SAB 110”), which, effective January 1, 2008, amends and replaces SAB 107, Share-Based Payment. SAB 110 expresses the views of the SEC staff regarding the use of a “simplified” method in developing an estimate of expected term of “plain vanilla” share options in accordance with FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. Under the “simplified” method, the expected term is calculated as the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term of the option. The use of the “simplified” method, which was first described in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2007. SAB 110 extends the use of the “simplified” method for “plain vanilla” awards in certain situations. The SEC staff does not expect the “simplified” method to be used when sufficient information regarding exercise behavior, such as historical exercise data or exercise information from external sources, becomes available.

NOTE 3: – MARKETABLE SECURITIES

 

 

 

Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in marketable securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designations as of each balance sheet date. As of March 31, 2008 all marketable securities were designated as available for sale. According to FASB Staff Position No. 115-1 “The meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” (“FSP 115-1”) an investment is considered impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its cost. If after consideration of all available evidence to evaluate the realizable value of its investment, impairment is determined to be permanent then an impairment loss should be recognized.

 

 

In the period of the nine months ended March 31, 2008, the Company determined that the impairment of the value of its investment in marketable securities includes a permanent impairment in the amount of $65. Consequently, the Company recognized $65 as impairment loss.

NOTE 4: – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

 

 

According to a supplement to the original facilities lease agreement, signed on June 12, 2007, the subsidiary has issued on January 22, 2008 a bank guarantee in favor of the lessor in the amount of $70 (in addition to the bank guarantee in the amount of $24 that was previously issued), and pledged an additional deposit in that amount with the bank.

Convertible Debenture (cont.):

 

 

 

The fair value of the conversion feature of the debentures at grant date, in the amount of $1,951 was recorded as a liability.

 

 

 

The balance of the consideration, in the amount of $97, was allocated to the debentures. The discount in the amount of $2,903 was amortized according the effective rate interest method over the debentures contractual period (24 months).

The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using a Black and Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: volatility of 83%, risk free interest rate of 4.8%, dividend yield of 0%, and an expected life of 36 months.

 

 

 

According to EITF 00-19, in order to classify warrants and options (other than employee stock options) as equity and not as liabilities, the Company should have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of common stock to provide for settlement of those instruments that may require share settlement. Under the terms of the convertible debentures dated April 3, 2006, the Company may be required to issue an unlimited number of shares to satisfy the debenture’s contractual requirements.

Till November 9, 2006 all of the convertible debentures, which were issued on April 3, 2006, were converted into 969,815 shares. As a result an amount of $1,787 was reclassified into common stock and additional paid-in capital as follow: from conversion of the feature embedded in convertible debenture ($1,951), convertible debenture ($202), accrued interest ($74) net of issuance expenses in the amount of $440. In addition, the warrants and options to consultants in the amount of $476 and deferred issuance expenses in the amount of $379 were reclassified as equity.

 

 

 

Pursuant to an investor relation agreements dated April 28, 2006 and August 2006 the Company paid in cash an amount of $440 on October 19, 2006 and issued 50,000 common shares on November 9, 2006 to certain service providers following reaching certain milestones regarding the conversion of the Convertible Debenture as agreed to by the parties.

According to the agreement, in the event that the investor fails to make any of the payments within five days of the payment due date, the option to invest the remaining amount will be cancelled. As a result of this agreement, the Company issued 618,580 shares of the Company’s common stock and 618,580 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock in consideration for $1,541 (net of cash issuance costs of $5). As of March 31, 2008 the option was cancelled.

The Company recorded the fair value of the warrants as financial expenses in the amount of $651 in the year ended June 30, 2007. The fair value of these warrants was determined using the Black- Scholes pricing model, assuming a risk free rate of 4.8%, a volatility factor of 128%, dividend yield of 0% and expected life of 5 years.

S.

Options to employees and consultants:

 

 

 

On August 29, 2007, the Company approved to reserve an additional 500,000 of its common stock for the 2005 option plan.

 

 

 

Each option granted under the Plans is exercisable through the expiration date of the Plan unless stated otherwise. The exercise price of the options granted under the plan may not be less than the nominal value of the stock into which such options are exercised. The options vest primarily over two years with a six month grace period (i.e. vesting equally monthly during the remaining 18 months) unless other vesting schedules are specified. Any options that are cancelled or forfeited before expiration become available for future grants.

 

 

 

On November 26, 2007, the Company effected a two hundred for one reverse split (see note 1(E)). The exercise price and the number of options have been proportionately adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

 

 

 

Options to employees:

 

 

 

On August 29, 2007 the Company granted 55,000 options exercisable at a price of $8.2 per share to the Company’s employees under the 2005 Plan. The fair value of these options at the grant date was $565.

 

 

 

On August 29, 2007, the Company granted 10,000 performance-based options to an employee. The vesting schedule of these options will start once the Company obtains certain milestone as defined in the agreement, and only if it will be achieved within one year from the date of grant. The vesting period will be in accordance with the schedule specified in 2005 option plan. As of March 31, 2008 the employee was no longer employed by the Company. Consequently, these performance-based options were forfeited and no expenses were recorded regarding these options.

 

 

 

On November 14, 2007 a director of the Company was granted 36,250 options exercisable at a price of $6.8 per share under the 2005 Plan. The fair value of these options at the grant date was $220.

 

 

 

On December 26, 2007 the Company granted 407,500 options exercisable at a price of $4.38 per share to the Company’s employees and directors under the 2005 Plan. The fair value of these options at the grant date was $1,599.

 

 

 

The Company accounted for its options to employees and directors under the fair value method in accordance of SFAS 123(R). The fair value for these options was estimated using Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rates of 3.84%-5%, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 105%-147%, and a weighted-average contractual life of the options of up to 6 years.

Options to employees and consultants (cont.):

 

 

 

Options to consultants:

 

 

 

On January 28, 2007, the Company entered into a consulting agreement. According to the agreement the Company granted the consultant 25,000 fully vested warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.5 per share effective upon signing the contract, and 25,000 warrants, fully vested, to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.5 per share, on the renewal of the contract on August 1, 2007. All warrants will be exercisable for 3 years. The warrants were not granted under the option Plans.

 

 

 

The fair value of the warrants, which were granted on August 1, 2007 at the grant date, was $175. The Company accounted for its options to consultants under the fair value method in accordance of SFAS 123 and EITF 96-18. The fair value for these options was estimated using Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rates of 4.53%, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 130%, and a weighted-average contractual life of the options of up to 10 years.

 

 

 

On December 26, 2007 the Company granted 15,000 options exercisable at a price of $4.38 per share to the Company’s consultants under the 2005 Plan. The fair value of these options at the grant date was $63. The Company accounted for its options to consultants under the fair value method in accordance of SFAS 123 and EITF 96-18. The fair value for these options was estimated using Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rates of 4%, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 128%, and a weighted-average contractual life of the options of up to 10 years.

 

 

 

The Company applied the guidance of EITF 00-18 “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees” and recognized expenses and offset credit to equity as service were received. As a result, amount of approximately $18 was recorded as operating expenses in the statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2008.

These statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. The business and operations of Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. are subject to substantial risks, which increase the uncertainty inherent in the forward-looking statements contained in this report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to release publicly the result of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Further information on potential factors that could affect our business is described under the heading “Risk Related to Our Business” in Part I, Item 1, “Description of Business” of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures we have made in that report.

Our financial statements are stated in thousands United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars.

Overview

We are engaged in the business of the development of Mesenchymal and stem cell production technology and the commercialization of cell therapy products.

From May 2003 until March 2006, our business was focused on the development of stem cell production technology. Originally, our plan was to develop that technology to the point where we could license it to medical scientists and practitioners for their use in producing cell therapy products for sale in the marketplace. On March 6, 2006, we announced that our company was taking a new direction. Instead of looking to license our stem cell production technology, we decided to focus on developing the technology with the goal of producing cell therapy products ourselves for sale in the marketplace. On July 5, 2006 and October 16, 2006, we announced that our subsidiary, Pluristem Ltd., achieved a breakthrough in our preclinical study of bone marrow transplantation: The preclinical study showed that by adding PLX-I (PLacenta eXpanded cells) to Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB) stem cells during Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT), hematopoietic stem cell engraftment in mice showed up to a 500% increase in engraftment after irradiation and chemotherapy. On January 8, 2008 we announced that we achieved favorable results in demonstrating a revascularization effect after using our propriety PLX-PAD cells for the treatment of limb ischemia associated with peripheral artery disease (PAD). On April 7, 2008, we announced that the results from Fraunhofer Institute’s additional pre-clinical study utilizing our proprietary PLX cells in treating ischemic stroke showed statistical significance utilizing functional as well as anatomical endpoints.

On November 23, 2007, we changed our name to Pluristem Therapeutics Inc.

On November 26, 2007, we effected a one for two hundred reverse stock split. Accordingly, all references to number of shares, common stock and per share data have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis.

On December 10, 2007, our shares of common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol PSTI. The shares were previously traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “PLRS.OB”. On May 7, 2007, our shares also began trading on Europe’s Frankfurt Stock Exchange, under the symbol PJT.

On May 5, 2008 an increase in the authorized number of shares of our common stock from 7,000,000 shares to 30,000,000 shares was approved by a majority of our stockholders.

Going Concern

We have not generated revenues since inception. Historically we have relied on private placement issuances of equity and debt.

It is likely that we will need to raise additional working capital to fund our ongoing operations and growth. The amount of our future capital requirements depends primarily on the rate at which we increase our revenues and correspondingly decrease our use of cash to fund operations. Cash used for operations will be affected by numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, our ability to successfully develop and commercialize our products and the degree to which competitive products and services are introduced to the market. As long as our cash flow from operations remains insufficient to completely fund operations, we will continue depleting our financial resources and seeking additional capital through equity and/or debt financing. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of debt, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing stockholders will be reduced and those stockholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock.

There can be no assurance that acceptable financing to fund our ongoing operations can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we may be unable to continue as a going concern. In that event, we may be forced to cease operations and our stockholders could lose their entire investment in our company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – NINE AND THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 COMPARED TO NINE AND THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007.

We have not generated any revenues, and we have negative cash flow from operations of $11,717,000 and have accumulated a deficit of $22,946,000 since our inception in May 2001. This negative cash flow is mostly attributable to research and development and general and administrative expenses. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase as we intend to conduct detailed development of our products through animal pre-clinical trials and experiments and clinical trials. We estimate our operating expenses in the next twelve months to be approximately $5,000,000. These expenses do not include any stock based compensation measured in accordance to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”).

Research and Development

Research and development expenses net for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 increased by 122% to $3,057,000 from $1,378,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in stock-based compensation to employees and consultants from $642,000 to $1,370,000, and due to the increase in salary expenses and subcontractor expenses attributed to the increase in the number of employees and research activity as part of our progress towards clinical trials.

Research and development expenses net for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased by 43% to $1,186,000 from $829,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase is due to the increase in salary expenses and subcontractor expenses attributed to the increase in the number of employees and research activity as part of our progress towards clinical trials, deducted with the decrease in stock-based compensation to employees and consultants in the amount of $311,000.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 increased by 133% to $4,648,000 from $1,998,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to the increase in stock-based compensation to employees and consultants which increased from $868,000 to $2,499,000, and to an increase of legal and investor relations expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased by 38% to $1,563,000 from $1,136,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This resulted from the increase in stock-based compensation to employees and consultants from $594,000 to $841,000, and from an increase of legal and investor relations expenses.

Financial Income, net

The decrease in financial income from $450,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 to $277,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, was as a result of a decrease in the fair value of warrants that was recorded in the previous year as financial income.

Net Loss

Net loss for the nine and three months ended March 31, 2008 was $7,428,000 and $2,618,000, respectively, as compared to net loss of $4,889,000 and $3,922,000 for the nine and three months ended March 31, 2007. Net loss per share for the nine and three months ended March 31, 2008 was $1.19 and $0.39, respectively, as compared to $5.14 and $2.93 for the nine and three months ended March 31, 2007. The net loss increased mainly due to the increase in stock-based compensation to employees and consultants in the amount of $2,359,000, and an increase in our operating expenses as a result of moving forward with our research and development plan, the increase was set off by know-how write-off in the amount of $1,962,500 which was recorded on March 2007. The net loss per share decreased as a result of the increase in our weighted average number of shares due to the issuance of additional shares in a private placement, as discussed further below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2008, total current assets were $3,859,000 and total current liabilities were $982,000. On March 31, 2008, we had a working capital surplus of $2,877,000 and an accumulated deficit of $22,946,000. We finance our operations and plan to continue doing so with stock issuances and with the participation of the Office of the Chief Scientist.

Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2008 amounted to $1,764,000. This is an increase of $111,000 from the $1,653,000 reported as of June 30, 2007. In addition to the cash and cash equivalents, we had marketable securities in the amount of $1,571,000 as of March 31, 2008 (marketable securities on June 30, 2007 were in the amount of $3,758,000). Cash balances increased in the nine months ended March 31, 2008 for the reasons presented below:

Operating activities used cash of $2,867,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Cash used by operating activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2008 primarily consisted of payments of salaries to our employees, and payments of fees to our consultants, subcontractors and professional services providers.

Investing activities provided cash of $1,096,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2008. This resulted primarily from proceeds from sale of marketable securities in the amount of $1,911,000 deducted by costs associated with upgrading our facilities to Good Manufacturing Practice, or GMP, standard facilities in the amount of $738,000.

Financing activities generated cash amount of $1,882,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2008 resulting primarily from receiving cash from investors related to the May 14, 2007 private placement.

We obtained funds to carry on our business from private placements. On May 14, 2007, we closed a private placement (“Private Placement”) consisting of up to 5,400,000 units of our securities at a price of $2.50 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant, with one such warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $5 per share for a period of five years. Of the aggregate purchase price of $13,500,000, we received $8,183,400 at closing and $316,600 during July and August 2007, with the balance to be paid in monthly installments over 10 months starting six months from closing at a certain investor’s option according to an agreement signed on May 17, 2007 (“May 17 Agreement”). According to the May 17 Agreement, in the event that the investor fails to make any of the payments within five days of the payment due date, the option to invest the remaining amount (the “Option”) will be cancelled immediately. As of March 31, 2008, pursuant to the May 17 Agreement, $1,546,450 was received from assignees of the investor, and in return, 618,580 shares of the Company’s common stock and 618,580 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock were issued. As of March 31, 2008, in accordance with the May 17 Agreement, the Option was cancelled. As a result, the total proceeds related to the Private Placement accumulated as of March 31, 2008 were $10,046,450, and 4,018,585 shares and 4,018,585 warrants were issued.

We do not expect to generate any revenues from sales of products in the next twelve months. We may generate revenues from the sale of licenses to use our technology. Our products will likely not be ready for sale for at least three years, if at all.

In our management’s opinion, we expect to achieve the following events or milestones in the next twelve months in order for us to begin generating revenues as planned in three years or more:

  To start the first Phase I clinical trial with PLX-PAD after Food and Drug Administration or EMEA approval.

  To Submit IND/IMPD for additional clinical indication

Optimize our 3-D PluriXTM Bioreactor System – We have made progress using the 3-D environment of the PluriXTM Bioreactor System to produce a dense population of stromal supporting cells; however, we must continue to try to optimize the system in order to achieve production capabilities.

  Improve the analytical methods of our technology and processes.

Outlook

We believe that we have sufficient funds to operate for at least two fiscal quarters. Management believes that we will need to raise additional funds before we have any cash flow from operations. We believe that it will take several years for us to complete the approval process for our products in the United States or any other jurisdiction. In addition, future decisions regarding any acquisitions that we may choose to make or expanded product development, as to which there can be no assurance of success, will require additional capital, which must be raised through the issuance of additional securities and/or incurring debt. There can be no assurance, however, that acceptable financing to fund our ongoing operations can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we may be unable to continue as a going concern. In that event, we may be forced to cease operations and our stockholders could lose their entire investment in our company.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials. Critical and significant accounting policies are described in our latest audited financial statements and in our interim financial statements as of March 31, 2008.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our company has no off balance sheet arrangements that are not disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-KSB as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 5, 2007.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures – We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed for the purposes of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and our CFO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting – There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
