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. which was changed as of June 30, 2003 to Pluristem Life Systems Inc. On November 26, 2007, the Companys name was changed to Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary, Pluristem Ltd. (the Subsidiary), which is incorporated under the laws of Israel. |
B. | The Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts towards conducting research and development of adherent stromal cells 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 Companys deficit accumulated during the development stage aggregated to $31,085 through March 31, 2009 and incurred net loss of $5,069 and negative cash flow from operating activities in the amount of $3,230 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. 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 placements of equity securities and R&D grants and in the longer term, from 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 Companys 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 Companys shares of common stock have been 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 Companys shares also began trading on Europes Frankfurt Stock Exchange, under the symbol PJT. |
NOTE 2: | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |

B. | Impact of recently issued accounting standards: |
| Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position FAS 157-4, Determining Whether a Market Is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed or FSP FAS 157-4; FSP FAS 157-4 provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.157 Fair Value Measurements. FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional authoritative guidance in determining whether a market is active or inactive, and whether a transaction is distressed, is applicable to all assets and liabilities (i.e. financial and nonfinancial) and will require enhanced disclosures. |
| FASB Staff Position FAS 115-2, FAS 124-2, and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 99-20-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, or FSP FAS 115-2, FAS 124-2, and EITF 99-20-2; FSP FAS 115-2, FAS 124-2, and EITF 99-20-2 provides additional guidance to provide greater clarity about the credit and noncredit component of an other-than-temporary impairment event and to more effectively communicate when an other-than-temporary impairment event has occurred. This FSP applies to debt securities. |
| FASB Staff Position FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, or FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1; FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements. |
These standards are effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact that these standards will have on its financial statements. |

M. | Convertible Debenture (Cont.): |
In accordance with EITF 00-19, the Company allocated the consideration paid for the convertible debenture and the warrants as follows: |
The warrants were recorded as a liability based on their fair value in the amount of $951 at grant date. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using a Black-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. Changes in the fair value are recorded as interest income or expense, as applicable. |
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 fair value of the warrants issued as a finders fee and the finders fee in cash amounted to $535 and were recorded as deferred issuance expenses and are amortized over the Debentures contractual period. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using a Black 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 Debentures, the Company may be required to issue an unlimited number of shares to satisfy the debentures contractual requirements. As such, on April 3, 2006, the Companys warrants and options (other than employee stock options) were classified as liabilities and measured at fair value with changes recognized currently in earnings. |
As of November 9, 2006, all of the Debentures, 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 follows: 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 relations agreement dated April 28, 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 Debentures as agreed to by the parties. |

N. | On May 14, 2007, the Company consummated a private equity placement with a group of investors for an equity investment (May 2007 Agreement). The Company sought a minimum of $7,000 and up to a maximum of $13,500 for shares of the Companys common stock, $.00001 par value at a per share price of $2.50, and warrants to purchase shares at an exercise price of $5 exercisable until five years after the closing date of the agreement. |
In May 2007, under the May 2007 Agreement, the Company issued 3,126,177 shares of the Companys common stock and 3,126,177 warrants to purchase the Companys common stock in consideration for $7,751 (net of cash issuance costs of $64). |
During July and August 2007, under the May 2007 Agreement, the Company issued additional 273,828 shares of the Companys common stock and 273,828 warrants to purchase the Companys common stock in consideration for $685. The consideration was paid partly prior to the issuance of the shares in the year ended June 30, 2007 ($368) and was recorded as receipts on account of shares and the balance was paid during July and August 2007. |
As part of May 2007 Agreement, the Company signed an escrow agreement according to which the Company granted an option to an investor to invest, under the same conditions defined in the May 2007 Agreement, up to $5,000 which will be paid in monthly installments over 10 months starting six months subsequent to the closing date. 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 634,580 shares of the Companys common stock and 634,580 warrants to purchase the Companys common stock in consideration for $1,561 (net of cash issuance costs of $25). As of March 31, 2008 the option was cancelled. |
The total proceeds related to the May 2007 Agreement accumulated as of June 30, 2008 were $9,997 (net of cash issuance costs of $89), and 4,034,585 shares and 4,034,585 warrants were issued. |
In connection with the May 2007 Agreement, the Company issued 275,320 warrants to finders as finders fee. The warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of grant at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. |
During year 2008 and 2007, 1,361,818 and 500,000 warrants related to the May 2007 Agreement were exercised on a cashless basis for 1,009,697 shares of stock and 366,534 shares of stock, respectively. |
In the May 2007 Agreement, there is a provision that requires the Company for a period of four years (subject to acceleration under certain circumstances) not to sell any of the Companys common stock for less than $0.0125 per share (pre-split price). The May 2007 Agreement provides that any sale below that price must be preceded by consent from each purchaser in the placement. Since that date, the Company had effected a one-for-200 reverse stock split. |
The Company decided to proceed and enter into additional security purchase agreements notwithstanding this provision for the following reasons: |
| The agreement does not contain any provisions for the adjustment of the specified minimum price in the event of stock splits and the like. If such agreement were to have contained such a provision, the floor price would be $2.50. |

N. | (Cont.): |
| The majority of purchasers in the private placement have sold the stock purchased in the placement, and thus the number of purchasers whose consent is purportedly required has been substantially reduced. The number of shares outstanding as to which this provision currently applies according the information supplied by transfer agent is 1.8 million shares. |
| An agreement that prevents the Companys Board of Directors from issuing shares that are necessary to finance the Companys business may be unenforceable. |
It is unclear what could be the consequences of a court decision that the issuance of shares below $2.50 per share violates the May 2007 Agreement. |
In connection therewith, the Company approved the issuance of warrants to purchase up to 147,884 shares of its common stock to all of the investors from the May 2007 Agreement that held shares purchased pursuant to the May 2007 Agreement, as of August 6, 2008, conditioned on having the investors execute a general release pursuant to which the Company will be released from liability including, but not limited to, any claims, demands, or causes of action arising out of, relating to, or regarding sales of certain equity securities notwithstanding the above mentioned provision. |
O. | The Company issued 28,398 warrants to the investors related to the May 2007 Agreement as compensation to investors who delivered the invested amount prior to the closing date of the placement. The warrants are exercisable for five years at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. 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 five years. |
P. | During July and September 2007, the Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock to service providers pursuant to an investor relations agreement, whereby the services will be provided to the Company for a period of six months in consideration for a monthly retainer payments and for the issuance of 10,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Total compensation, measured as the grant date fair market value of the stock, amounted to $149. |
According to EITF 00-18 Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees, the Company should recognize expense as services are received. Consequently, total compensation amounted to $149 was recorded as an operating expense in the statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2008. |
Q. | In February 2008, the Company issued 7,500 shares of common stock to a service provider as compensation for carrying out investor relations activities. Total compensation, measured as the grant date fair market value of the stock, amounted to $18 and was recorded as an operating expense in the statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2008. |
R. | In February 2008, the Company entered into an investor relations agreement pursuant to which the service will be provided to the Company in consideration for a monthly retainer payment and for a monthly issuance of 500 shares of common stock of the Company. The Company recorded the fair value of the stock at each grant date as operating expenses in the statement of operations. An amount of $6 was recorded during the year ended June 30, 2008, and an amount of $2 was recorded during the nine months ended March 31, 2009 (regarding 1,500 shares issued). |

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Federal securities laws, and is subject to the safe-harbor created by such Act and laws. Forward-looking statements may include statements regarding our goals, beliefs, strategies, objectives, plans, including product and service developments, future financial conditions, results or projections or current expectations. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, will, should, expect, plan, anticipate, believe, estimate, predict, potential or continue, the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. 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. Such forward-looking statements appear in this Item 2 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and include statements regarding our expectations regarding our short and long-term capital requirements, progress in our efforts to begin clinical trials and achieve regulatory approvals, our expected milestones in the next 12 months and our outlook for the coming months, including our plans to raise additional non-dilutive funding. Our business and operations 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 Factors in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. 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 (U.S.$) 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.
As used in this quarterly report, the terms we, us, our, the company, the registrant and Pluristem mean Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiary, unless otherwise indicated or as otherwise required by the context.
Going Concern
We have not generated revenues since our inception. Historically we have relied on private placement issuances and public offerings of equity and debt, as well as on governmental grants.
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 will generate 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 and governmental grants. 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.
2
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NINE AND THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 COMPARED TO NINE AND THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008.
We have not generated any revenues, and we have negative cash flow from operations of $16,698,000 and have accumulated a deficit of $31,085,000 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 cash expenses in the next 12 months to be approximately $6,000,000.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses net for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 decreased by 23% to $2,362,000 from $3,057,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease is due to the decrease in stock-based compensation to employees and consultants in the amount of $989,000 as a result of a decrease in our stock price, and due to the increase in the participation by the Israeli Office of the Chief Scientist (the OCS) as the grant for the previous 12 months was approved and recorded in December 2008. This decrease is partially offset by increasing expenses of subcontractors and materials as we are progressing with our research and development toward clinical trials.
Research and development expenses net for the three months ended March 31, 2009 decreased by 11% to $1,060,000 from $1,186,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease is due to the decrease in stock-based compensation to employees and consultants in the amount of $105,000 as a result of a decrease in our stock price and due to the decrease in a subcontractors expenses mainly because such subcontractor was involved with the pre-clinical trials that were completed during the previous quarter.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 decreased by 45% to $2,557,000 from $4,648,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to the decrease in stock-based compensation to employees and consultants that decreased from $2,499,000 to $926,000. In addition, there was a cut down in various expenses, mainly in expenses related to services provided by investor relations and public relations consultants.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 decreased by 46% to $850,000 from $1,563,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is attributable to the decrease in stock-based compensation to employees and consultants that decreased from $841,000 to $301,000 and to the cut down in investor relations and public relations related expenses.
Financial Income, net
The decrease in financial income from $277,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 to an expense of $150,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, was as a result of the loss from sale of marketable securities in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 and as a result of exchange rate expenses.
The financial income decreased from $131,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to an expense of $84,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as a result of gain from sale of marketable securities last year and an increase in exchange rate expenses this year.
Net Loss
Net loss for the nine and three months ended March 31, 2009 was $5,069,000 and $1,994,000, respectively, as compared to net loss of $7,428,000 and $2,618,000 for the nine and three months ended March 31, 2008. Net loss per share for the nine and three months ended March 31, 2009 was $0.52 and $0.17, respectively, as compared to $1.19 and $0.39 for the nine and three months ended March 31, 2008. In both cases, the net loss per share decreased as a result of the decrease in the net loss and the increase in our weighted average number of shares due to the issuance of additional shares in pursuant to equity issuances since March 31, 2008 as discussed further below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2009, total current assets were $2,382,000 and total current liabilities were $652,000. On March 31, 2009, we had a working capital surplus of $1,730,000 and an accumulated deficit of $31,085,000. We finance our operations and plan to continue doing so with issuances of securities and with the participation of the OCS.
Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2009 amounted to $1,724,000. This is an increase of $1,401,000 from the $323,000 reported as of June 30, 2008. We had marketable securities in the amount of $240,000 on March 31, 2009 as opposed to marketable securities in the amount of $1,185,000 that we had as of June 30, 2008. Cash balances increased in the nine months ended March 31, 2009 for the reasons presented below.
Operating activities used cash of $3,230,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Cash used by operating activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2009 primarily consisted of payments of salaries to our employees, and payments of fees to our consultants, subcontractors and professional services providers, less research and development grant participation by the OCS.
Investing activities provided cash of $597,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2009. This resulted primarily from proceeds from sale of marketable securities in the amount of $1,113,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2009, offset by purchase of marketable securities during the third quarter of Fiscal 2009in the amount of $240,000 and by costs associated with upgrading our facilities to Good Manufacturing Practice standard facilities in the amount of $308,000.
Financing activities generated cash of $4,034,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2009 resulting primarily from receiving cash from investors related to the offerings described below.
On August 6, 2008, we sold 1,391,304 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 695,652 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.90 per share to two investors in consideration of $1,600,000 pursuant to terms of a securities purchase agreement. Rodman & Renshaw, LLC acted as placement agent, on a best efforts basis, for the offering and received a placement fee equal to 6% of the gross purchase price of the securities sold (excluding any consideration that may be paid in the future upon exercise of the warrants) as well as warrants to purchase 83,478 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.44 per share. Subject to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Rule 2710, the placement agent warrants may be exercised after six months through and including August 5, 2013. The offering was made pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-151761).
On September 22, 2008, we sold 900,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 675,000 shares of common stock to an investor in consideration for $1,035,000 pursuant to terms of a securities purchase agreement. The price per share of common stock was $1.15, and the exercise price of the warrants is $1.90. The warrants will be exercisable for a period of five years. The offering was made pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-151761). As part of this transaction, we paid a transaction fee to finders equal to 6% of the actual purchase price and issued, for no further consideration, warrants exercisable for five years at an exercise price of $1.50 per share to purchase 54,000 shares of our common stock.
During November 2008 through January 2009, we entered into securities purchase agreements with various investors, pursuant to which we sold 1,746,575 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.40 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $698,630, and issued warrants to purchase up to an additional 1,746,575 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The warrants are exercisable after six months from the applicable closing date and will expire after five years from such date.

The Option is exercisable within six months from the applicable closing date. As part of this transaction, we paid a transaction fee to finders in an amount of $38,630 in cash and issued them warrants exercisable for five years at an exercise price of $1.00 per share to purchase 96,579 shares of our common stock.
In December 2008, we issued a total of 450,853 shares of our common stock to our employees and directors at a price per share of $0.40 per share. The issuance was made in exchange for a voluntary reduction in the cash compensation such officers and directors were due to receive from us in consideration for their services and in an effort to reduce our cash expenses.

The January 20 Option is exercisable within six months from the closing date. As part of this transaction, we paid a transaction fee to finders in an amount of $5,400 in cash and issued them warrants exercisable for two years at an exercise price of $1.00 per share to purchase 12,273 shares of our common stock.
On January 29, 2009, we entered into a subscription agreement with certain investors, pursuant to which we sold to such investors 969,826 units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock exercisable 181 days following the issuance thereof for a period of five years thereafter at an exercise price of $1.90 per share (the Units). The purchase price per Unit was $1.16 and the aggregate purchase price for such Units was $1,125,000. As part of this transaction, we paid a transaction fee to finders in an amount of $89,546 in cash and issued these investors warrants to purchase 80,983 shares of our common stock, exercisable after six months for five years at an exercise price of $1.90 per share.
On May 5, 2009, we entered into securities purchase agreements with two investors pursuant to which we sold 888,406 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 488,623 shares of common stock in consideration for $1,332,610. The exercise price of the warrants is $1.96 and they will be exercisable for a period of five years commencing six months following the issuance thereof. Rodman & Renshaw, LLC acted as placement agent, on a best efforts basis, for the offering and received a placement fee equal to 6% of the gross purchase price of the securities sold (excluding any consideration that may be paid in the future upon exercise of the warrants) as well as warrants to purchase 53,304 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.875 per share. Subject to FINRA Rule 2710, the placement agents warrants may be exercised after six months through and including May 5, 2014. The offering was made pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-151761).
We do not expect to generate revenues from sales of products in the next 12 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.
Outlook
In our managements opinion, we expect to achieve the following events or milestones in the next 12 months in order for us to begin generating revenues as planned in three years or more:
| Scaling up of our 3-D PluriXTM Bioreactor, increasing the manufacturing volume production per Bioreactor run and bringing them to commercial capabilities. |
| Start the first Phase I clinical trial in the U.S.A. for the treatment of critical limb ischemia using our PLX-PAD. |
| Start the first Phase I clinical trial in Europe with the PLX-PAD after the PEI (Paul Ehrlich Institute) approval, or the IMPD (Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier). |
| Obtaining pre-clinical data in additional clinical indication. |
On March 2, 2009, we announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared our Investigational New Drug application to initiate a Phase I clinical trial for the treatment of critical limb ischemia using our PLX-PAD product.
5
In addition to raising funds by way of issuance of equity and debt as set forth above, we are seeking ways to raise non-diluting funds. One of such sources is the OCS who has supported our activity in the past three years. We submitted an application for a new grant to the OCS in March 2009 (the R&D Grant). We believe that the funds we may have if the R&D Grant is approved together with the funds we have received from the investments recently made in our equity will be sufficient for operating for approximately 12 months. In addition, we have filed grant applications with the U.S. National Institutes of Health. There can be no assurance that we will receive these grants. 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, Europe 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 the company.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our company has no off balance sheet arrangements that are not disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on September 29, 2008.
Item 4T. 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 SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs 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 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
