Aggressively protect all current and

filing patents and/or continuations in part as
appropriate;

developments at various levels, in a complementary manner, including the
base technology, as well as specific applications of the technology;

|
|
·
|
Phase I. Phase I
studies involve testing a drug or product on a limited number of healthy
participants, typically 24 to 100 people at a time. Phase I studies
determine a product’s basic safety and how the product is absorbed by, and
eliminated from, the body. This phase lasts an average of six months
to a year.
|
|
·
|
Phase II. Phase II
trials involve testing up to 200 participants at a time who may suffer
from the targeted disease or condition. Phase II testing typically lasts
an average of one to two years. In Phase II, the drug is tested to
determine its safety and effectiveness for treating a specific illness or
condition. Phase II testing also involves determining acceptable
dosage levels of the drug. If Phase II studies show that a new drug
has an acceptable range of safety risks and probable effectiveness, a
company will continue to review the substance in Phase III
studies.
|
|
·
|
Phase III. Phase III
studies involve testing large numbers of participants, typically several
hundred to several thousand persons. The purpose is to verify
effectiveness and long-term safety on a large scale. These studies
generally last two to three years. Phase III studies are conducted at
multiple locations or sites. Like the other phases, Phase III
requires the site to keep detailed records of data collected and
procedures performed.

Newly

pronouncements:

In
May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”).
SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which
management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions
that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial
statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize
events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its
financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about
events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS
165 will be effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15,
2009 and will be applied prospectively. The Company adopted the provisions
of FAS 165. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have a material impact on
the Company’s condensed financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
|
2.
|
In
June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
— A Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”). Statement 168
establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (Codification) as
the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (U.S. GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by
nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under
authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative
U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 and the Codification are effective
for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending
after September 15, 2009. When effective, the Codification will supersede
all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other
nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the
Codification will become nonauthoritative. Following SFAS 168, the FASB
will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff
Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, the FASB will
issue Accounting Standards Updates, which will serve only to: (a) update
the Codification; (b) provide background information about the guidance;
and (c) provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the
Codification. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS 168 to
have a material impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
