Aggressively protect
all current and future technological developments to assure strong
and
broad protection by filing patents and/or continuations in part as
appropriate;
|
· |
Protect technological
developments at various levels, in a complementary manner,
including the base technology, as well as specific applications of
the
technology; and

what
tests to perform on the participants;
and
|
· |
what
dosage of the drug or amount of the product to give to the
participants.
|
·
|
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
issued and recently adopted accounting
pronouncements:
|
1)
|
In
September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157, “Fair
Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”).
SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance
regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective
for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November
15,
2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years (September 1,
2009,
for the Company). The Company is currently assessing the impact that
SFAS
157 may have on its results of operations and financial
position.
|
2)
|
In
February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards
No. 159, “The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including
an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”).
SFAS 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value accounting but
does
not affect existing standards which require certain assets or liabilities
to be carried at fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to improve
financial reporting by providing companies with the opportunity to
mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related
assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex
hedge
accounting provisions. Under SFAS 159, a company may choose, at its
initial application or at other specified election dates, to measure
eligible items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses
on
items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings
at each
subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim
periods within those fiscal years (September 1, 2009, for the Company).
If
the company is to elect the fair value option for its existing assets
and
liabilities, the effect as of the adoption date, shall be reported
as a
cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.
The Company is currently assessing the impact that SFAS 159 may have
on
its financial position.

In
June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached Issue No.
07-03,
"Accounting
for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received
to Be
Used in Future Research and Development Activities" (EITF No.
07-03).
EITF No. 07-03 requires that nonrefundable advance payments for goods
or
services that will be used or rendered for future research and development
activities be deferred and amortized over the period that the goods
are
delivered or the related services are performed, subject to an assessment
of recoverability. The provisions of EITF 07-03 will be effective
for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December
15,
2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years (September 1,
2009,
for the Company). The provisions of this EITF are applicable for
new
contracts entered into on or after the effective date. Earlier application
is not permitted.
|
4)
|
In
December 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-01, "Accounting
for
Collaborative Arrangements" ("EITF 07-01"). EITF 07-01 defines
collaborative arrangements and establishes reporting requirements
for
transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement
and
between participants in the arrangement and third parties. EITF 07-01
also
establishes the appropriate income statement presentation and
classification for joint operating activities and payments between
participants, as well as the sufficiency of the disclosures related
to
these arrangements. EITF 07-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008 (September 1, 2009, for the Company). EITF
07-01
shall be applied using modified version of retrospective transition
for
those arrangements in place at the effective date. An entity should
report
the effects of applying this Issue as a change in accounting principle
through retrospective application to all prior periods presented
for all
arrangements existing as of the effective date, unless it is impracticable
to apply the effects the change retrospectively. The Company is currently
assessing the impact that EITF 07-01 may have on its results of operations
and financial position.

5)
|
In
May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("FAS
162").
FAS 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying
a
consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles
to
be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity
with GAAP for nongovernmental entities. FAS 162 is effective 60 days
following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly
in
Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." We do
not
expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on
our
results of operations, financial position or cash
flows.
