PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Champions Biotechnology, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009 (the “2009 Form 10-K”) within the prescribed time period for the reasons described below
   
The Company’s management identified errors in the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, and determined that those financial statements needed to be restated. On June 19, 2009, the Audit Committee concluded (following discussions with management and upon management’s recommendation) that the financial statements listed in the preceding sentence should no longer be relied upon. The Company previously disclosed such events and described the nature of the financial statement errors in a Current Report on Form 8-K that it filed on June 25, 2009.
   
As a result of the Audit Committee’s determination that a restatement of such financial statements is required, the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2009 could not be filed without unreasonable effort and expense in connection with accurately preparing restated financial statements and presenting all necessary related disclosures.

The Company expects to report a net loss of approximately $2.0 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009, compared to a net loss of $449,000 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008. The Company’s increased net loss is attributable to increased expenses for personalized oncology services, preclinical evaluation services, research and development, and general and administrative costs (total operating expenses increased from $1.9 million in fiscal 2008 to $5.8 million in fiscal 2009), which were partially offset by an increase in the Company’s operating revenue (from $1.4 million in fiscal 2008 to $3.7 million in fiscal 2009).
