Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include,but are not limited to, risks inherent in: our early stage of development, including a lack of operating history,lack of profitable operations and the need for significant additional capitalresources in order to sustain our business; the development andcommercialization of largely novel and unproven technologies and products; ourability to protect, maintain, and defend our intellectual property rights; ourability to retain key members of our management and scientific teams; anduncertainty regarding our overall ability to compete effectively in a highlycomplex, rapidly developing, capital intensive and competitive industry.  See *“*RISKFACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS*”*set forth in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSBfor a more complete discussion of these factors.  Readers are cautioned not to place unduereliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the datethat they are made.  We undertake noobligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whetheras a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

Forward-looking statements include our plans and objectives for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to our products and our future economic performance.  Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, future business decisions, and the time and money required to successfully complete development and commercialization of our technologies, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, we cannot assure you that the results contemplated in any of the forward-looking statements contained herein will be realized. Based on the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of any such statement should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved.

**NOTES TOCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**SPETEMBER30, 2005**

 

**(UNAUDITED)**

 

###### **1.      ORGANIZATIONAL MATTERS**

 

**Organization**

 

On January 31, 2005, Advanced CellTechnology, Inc. (formerly known as A.C.T. Holdings, Inc.) (the “Company”)completed the Merger with Advanced Cell, Inc. (formerly known as AdvancedCell Technology, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“ACT”), pursuant to whicha wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company merged with and into ACT, with ACTremaining as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of theCompany. Upon the completion of the Merger, the Company ceased all of itspre-Merger operations and adopted the business of ACT.

 

Prior to the Merger, the Company had minimalbusiness, operations, revenues and assets, and had been involved in an industryentirely unrelated to the business of ACT. Therefore, the acquisition of ACT bythe Company represented a complete change in the nature of the Company’sbusiness and operations, and changed the nature of any prior investment in theCompany.

 

The transaction has been accounted for as arecapitalization of ACT, the accounting acquirer. The historical financialstatements presented for periods prior to the merger are those of ACT. Theconsolidated accounts of the Company have been included from January 31,2005. All comparisons of financial results for periods prior to the Merger areto the financial results of ACT.

 

**Nature of Business**

 

The Company is a biotechnology companyfocused on developing and commercializing human stem cell technology in theemerging fields of regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy. Principalactivities to date have included obtaining financing, securing operatingfacilities and conducting research and development. The Company has notherapeutic products currently available for sale and does not expect to haveany therapeutic products commercially available for sale for a period of years,if at all. These factors indicate that the Company’s ability to continue itsresearch and development activities is dependent upon the ability of managementto obtain additional financing as required.

 

***Basis of Presentation —***The accompanyingunaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2005 and for the threeand nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 have been preparedpursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and ExchangeCommission (“SEC”), including Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B. Theinformation furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normalrecurring accruals and adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management,necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods.Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annualfinancial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuantto such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosuresprovided are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Thesefinancial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financialstatements and explanatory notes for the year ended December 31, 2004 asdisclosed in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for that year asfiled with the SEC and in conjunction with ACT’s audited financial statementsand explanatory notes for the year ended December 31, 2004 as disclosed inthe Company’s current report on Form 8-K/A as filed with the SEC on April 18,2005. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative ofthe results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.

 

###### **2.**                 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

###### ** **

***Use of Estimates—***Thesefinancial statements have been prepared in accordance with accountingprinciples generally accepted in the United States and, accordingly, requiremanagement to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amountsof assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and thereported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Specifically, our management has estimatedthe expected economic life and value of our licensed technology, our netoperating loss for tax purposes and our stock, option and warrant expensesrelated to compensation to employees and directors, consultants and investmentbanks and accounting related to convertible debentures.  Actual results could differ from thoseestimates.

 

***Stock Based Compensation—***SFASNo. 123, “*Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation*,”establishes and encourages the use of the fair value based method of accountingfor stock-based compensation arrangements under which compensation cost isdetermined using the fair value of stock-based compensation determined as ofthe date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services iscompleted and is recognized over the periods in which the related services arerendered.  The statement also permitscompanies to elect to continue using the current intrinsic value accountingmethod specified in Accounting Principles Board (“*APB*”)Opinion No. 25, “*Accounting for StockIssued to Employees*,” to account for stock-based compensation toemployees.  We have elected to use theintrinsic value based method for grants to our employees and directors and havedisclosed the pro forma effect of using the fair value based method to accountfor our stock-based compensation to employees.

 

The Company uses the fair value method forequity instruments granted to non-employees and uses the Black Scholes modelfor measuring the fair value.  The stockbased fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or thedate at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date)and is recognized over the periods in which the related services are rendered.

**Pro Forma Information**

 

***Employee and Director CommonShare Purchase Options—***Pro forma informationregarding the effects on operations of employee and director common sharepurchase options as required by SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148 hasbeen determined as if the Company had accounted for those options under thefair value method. Pro forma information is computed using the Black Scholesmethod at the date of grant of the options. Pro forma information is computed using the Black Scholes method at thedate of grant of the options based on the following assumptions ranges for thethree month period ended September 30, 2005: (1) risk free interestrate of 4.15%; (2) dividend yield of 0%; (3) expected volatilityfactor of 65%; and (4) an expected life of the options of 2-4 years. The foregoing option valuation model requires input of highly subjectiveassumptions.

 

Because common share purchase options grantedto employees and directors have characteristics significantly different fromthose of traded options, and because changes in the subjective inputassumptions can materially affect the fair value of estimate, the existingmodel does not in the opinion of our management necessarily provide a reliablesingle measure of fair value of common share purchase options we have grantedto our employees and directors.

 

Pro forma information relating to employeeand director common share purchase options is as follows:

Effective January 1, 2006, the Companywill adopt the accounting proscribed in SFAS 123R for employee and directorcommon share purchase options.

 

***Net Loss Per Share—***Weuse SFAS No. 128, “*Earnings Per Share*”for calculating the basic and diluted loss per share.  We compute basic loss per share by dividingnet loss and net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weightedaverage number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per shareexcept that the denominator is increased to include the number of additionalcommon shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had beenissued and if the additional shares were dilutive. Common equivalent shares areexcluded from the computation of net loss per share if their effect isanti-dilutive.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30,2005, 40,414,204 potential shares were excluded from the shares used tocalculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net lossper share. There were no potentially dilutive shares at September 30,2004.

 

###### **3.**                 CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

###### ** **

On September 15, 2005, we entered into aSecurities Purchase Agreement with accredited investors for the issuance of anaggregate of $22,276,250 principal amount of convertible debentures with anoriginal issue discount of 20.3187%. In connection with the closing of the saleof the debentures, we received gross proceeds of $17,750,000.  Upon satisfaction of certain conditions setforth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, including listing of the Company onAMEX or NASDAQ Capital Markets, stock trading price in excess of conversionprice, and achievement of minimum trading volumes, the Company can require the investorsto purchase additional debentures for a purchase price of $8,875,000 with anaggregate principal amount of $11,138,125 at a second closing. The additionalinvestment rights in those debentures are exercisable under certaincircumstances for (1) a period of six months following the effective dateof the registration statement to be filed pursuant to the Registration RightsAgreement, or (2) a period of 12 months from the date of issuance of theadditional investment rights, whichever is shorter. The debentures to bepurchased upon the exercise of the additional investment rights will have thesame terms as the debentures sold at the initial closing.  The convertible debentures are convertible atthe option of the holders into 9,685,326 shares of Common Stock at a fixedconversion price of $2.30 per share, subject to anti-dilution and othercustomary adjustments.  In connectionwith the Securities Purchase Agreement, we also issued warrants to purchase anaggregate of 4,842,663 shares of our Common Stock. The term of the warrants isfive years and the exercise price is $2.53 per share, subject to anti-dilutionand other customary adjustments.  Theinvestors have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert theconvertible debentures, exercise the warrants and exercise the additionalinvestment right and receive shares of our Common Stock such that the number ofshares of our Common Stock held by them and their affiliates after suchconversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of our then issued and outstandingshares of our Common Stock.

 

The agreements entered into provide that theCompany will pay certain cash amounts as liquidated damages in the event thatthe Company is unable to obtain on a timely basis an effective registrationstatement or fails to timely execute stock trading activity.  As described more fully in Note 11, in October 2005,the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a RegistrationStatement on Form SB-2 to register shares pursuant to this transaction,which has been declared effective and there is therefore no risk related tothis provision in the agreements. In addition, the agreements provide that theCompany shall meet other milestones, including settlement of the litigation,and liquidation of ACT Group, as described in Note 9, formation of a majorityindependent Board of Directors by November 18, 2005, and merger of theCompany and ACT.

Under the terms of the agreements, principalamounts owed under the debentures become due and payable commencing six monthsfollowing closing of the transaction.  Atthat time, and each month thereafter, the Company is required to either repay1/30 of the outstanding balance owed in cash, or convert the amount due intocommon stock at a fixed conversion price of $2.30 per share, subject toanti-dilution and other customary adjustments. The agreements also provide thatthe Company may force conversion of outstanding amounts owed into common stock,if the Company has met certain conditions and milestones identified above, andhas a stock price for 20 consecutive trading days that exceeds 200% of theconversion price of $2.30 per share.

 

Of the total proceeds from the issuance ofthe debentures, $5,747,297 was allocated to the warrants associated with thedebentures based upon the fair value of the Warrants, and $9,305,014 wasallocated to the beneficial conversion feature associated with the debentures.The assumptions used in the Black Scholes model for determining the fair valueof the warrants are as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expectedvolatility of 64%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 3.99%, and (4) expectedlife of 5 years. In accordance with EITF 00-19 Accounting for DerivativeFinancial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company’s OwnStock, the amount allocated to the warrants was recorded as warrant liabilityunder convertible notes payable as the warrants require registration ofunderlying shares and maintenance of an effective registration statement, whichis outside the control of the Company. The amount allocated to the beneficial conversion feature embedded inthe debentures, was determined in accordance with provisions of EITF 98-5Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features orContingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios and EITF 00-27 Application of Issue No. 98-5to Certain Convertible Instruments.  Theagreements require that the Company maintain an effective registrationstatement during the period that the convertible debentures areoutstanding.  In accordance with EITF00-19, FAS 133, FAS 150 and EITF 05-4 the amount allocated to the beneficialconversion feature has been recorded as beneficial conversion feature liabilityunder convertible notes payable at September 30, 2005.  Upon conversion of amounts outstanding underthe debenture, a pro rata portion of the liability will be transferred toadditional paid in capital.  Discountsrecorded related to both the warrants and beneficial conversion feature will beaccreted back to the debentures over three years, which is the life of thedebentures, utilizing the effective interest method.

 

During the quarter ended September 30,2005, the Company recorded interest expense of approximately $269,000 relatedto the amortization of discounts on convertible notes payable for originalissue discount, allocation to warrants and allocation to the beneficialconversion feature. In addition, the Company recorded interest expense ofapproximately $145,000 and increased the warrant liability under convertiblenotes payable, to record the fair value of the warrants at September 30.The assumptions used in the Black Scholes model for determining the fair valueof the warrants at September 30, 2005 are as follows: (1) dividendyield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 65%, (3) risk-free interestrate of 4.149%, and (4) expected life of 5 years.

 

In connection with this financing, we paidcash fees to a broker-dealer of $1,065,000 and issued a warrant to purchase1,162,239 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.53 per share. Thefair value of the warrant was estimated at $1,379,351 using the Black Scholespricing model. The assumptions used in the Black Scholes model are as follows: (1)dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 64%, (3) risk-freeinterest rate of 3.99%, and (4) expected life of 5 years. Cash fees paid,and value of the warrant granted, have been capitalized as debt issuance costsand are being amortized over 36 months, the life of the related convertibledebentures.

 

The following table summarizes ConvertibleDebentures outstanding at September 30, 2005:

###### **4.**      CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

###### ** **

During 2004, we issued promissory notesaggregating $500,000 face value for cash proceeds of $450,000 and theassumption of $50,000 of debt owed by our parent to one of the investors. As aresult of the assumption of the $50,000 of debt, we have recorded a financingcost in that amount. The notes bear interest at 10% per year. $350,000 of notesmatured on December 31, 2004 and $150,000 matured on September 30, 2005.As outlined in Note 7, the balances outstanding relating to these convertiblenotes payable were converted to common stock in January 2005.

 

As additional consideration for the purchaseof the notes, we granted to the note holders warrants entitling them topurchase 700,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.05. Warrants for300,000 shares were exercisable immediately upon issuance and expire two yearsfrom the date of issue.  Warrants for400,000 shares are exercisable on or after February 1, 2006 and expire February 1,2008. The fair value of the warrants was estimated at $0, using the BlackScholes option pricing model. The assumptions used in the Black Scholes modelare as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of0%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 2.75%, and (4) expected life of 2years. Pursuant to EITF 98-6 and EITF 00-27, there was no allocation of theproceeds of the notes to the warrants and no beneficial conversion feature,because the conversion rate at the date of issue was unknown and was presumedto be at market value.

 

During the first quarter of 2005, the$500,000 of notes, plus accrued interest of $23,708, were converted intoinvestment units consisting of 616,124 shares of common stock, plus 308,063common stock purchase warrants, exercisable at $1.27 per share and the Companydetermined that there was no beneficial conversion feature upon the conversion.

Pursuant to the 2005 Plan, on January 31,2005, we granted 535,000 common stock purchase options to consultants. Theoptions have an exercise price of $0.85 per share and vest over periods notexceeding 4 years. The fair value of the options at the date of grant wasestimated at $28,354 using the Black Scholes option pricing model. Theassumptions used in the Black Scholes model are as follows: (1) dividendyield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 0%, (3) risk-free interestrate of 3.25%, and (4) expected life of 2 years.  This initial estimate of fair value will beexpensed over the option vesting period. In addition to this initial estimate of fair value, the Company calculatesadditional quarterly expense based upon options which vest during theperiod.  During the quarter ended June 30,2005, vested shares resulted in an additional charge of $61,580.  This amount, plus amortization of initialfair value, resulted in a total charge of $42,840 in the quarter ended September 30,2005, bringing total charges related to these options to $106,988 for the ninemonths ended September 30, 2005. The assumptions used in the Black Scholes model for this quarterlycalculation are as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expectedvolatility of 139%, (3) risk free interest rate of 3.625%, and (4) expectedlife of 2 years.

## **ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’SDISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION**

 

## **OVERVIEW**

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSBcontains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.****We use words such as “may,” “assumes,” “forecasts,”“positions,” “predicts,” “strategy,” “will,” “expects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,”“believes,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “budgets,” “potential,” “continue”and variations thereof, and other statements contained in quarterly report, andthe exhibits hereto, regarding matters that are not historical facts and areforward-looking statements. Because these statements involve risks anduncertainties, as well as certain assumptions, actual results may differ materiallyfrom those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause actual results todiffer materially include, but are not limited to risks inherent in:  our early stage of development, including alack of operating history, lack of profitable operations and the need foradditional capital; the development and commercialization of largely novel andunproven technologies and products; our ability to protect, maintain, anddefend our intellectual property rights: uncertainties regarding our ability toobtain the capital resources needed to continue research and developmentoperations and to conduct research, preclinical development and clinical trialsnecessary for regulatory approvals; uncertainty regarding the outcome ofclinical trials and our overall ability to compete effectively in a highlycomplex, rapidly developing, capital intensive and competitive industry.  See *“*RISKFACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS*”*set forth in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSBfor a more complete discussion of these factors.  Readers are cautioned not to place unduereliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the datethat they are made.  We undertake noobligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whetheras a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

Thefollowing discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidatedfinancial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of thisQuarterly Report on Form 10-QSB.

 

We are abiotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing human stem celltechnology in the emerging fields of regenerative medicine and stem celltherapy.

 

## **SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTINGPOLICIES**

## ** **

## **Ourconsolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Thepreparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,revenues and expenses. Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statementsdescribes the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of theconsolidated financial statements. Certain of these significant accountingpolicies are considered to be critical accounting policies, as defined below.We do not believe that there have been significant changes to our accountingpolicies during the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared tothose policies disclosed in the December 31, 2004 financial statementsfiled in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A with the SEC on April 18,2005.**

## ** **

## **Acritical accounting policy is defined as one that is both material to thepresentation of our financial statements and requires management to makedifficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect onour financial condition and results of operations. Specifically, criticalaccounting estimates have the following attributes: 1) we are required to makeassumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of theestimate; and 2) different estimates we could reasonably have used, or changesin the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a materialeffect on our financial condition or results of operations.**

## ** **

Estimates and assumptions about future eventsand their effects cannot be determined with certainty. We base our estimates onhistorical experience and on various other assumptions believed to beapplicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may changeas new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operatingenvironment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have beenincluded in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known.Based on a critical assessment of our accounting policies and the underlyingjudgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies,management believes that our consolidated financial statements are fairly statedin accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the UnitedStates, and present a meaningful presentation of our financial condition andresults of operations. We believe the following critical accounting policiesreflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparationof our consolidated financial statements:

 

***Use of Estimates -***Thesefinancial statements have been prepared in accordance with accountingprinciples generally accepted in the United States and, accordingly, requiremanagement to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amountsof assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and thereported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Specifically, our management has estimated the expected economic life and valueof our licensed technology, our net operating loss for tax purposes and ourstock, option and warrant expenses related to compensation to employees anddirectors, consultants and investment banks.  Actual results could differfrom those estimates.

 

***Fair Value ofFinancial Instruments -***For certain of ourfinancial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accruedexpenses, interest payable, bank overdraft, advances payable and notes payable,the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their relatively shortmaturities.

 

***Cash and Equivalents-***Cash equivalents are comprised of certain highlyliquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased. We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times, may exceedfederally insured limits.  We have not experienced any losses in suchaccount.

 

***Equipment -***Werecord our equipment at historical cost.  We expense maintenance andrepairs as incurred. Depreciation is provided for by the straight-line methodover three to six years.

 

15

----

 

***Revenue Recognition-***Our revenues are generated from license andresearch agreements with collaborators. Licensing revenue is recognized ratablyover the life of the license. Deferred revenue represents the portion of thelicense and other payments received that has not been earned. Costs associatedwith the license revenue are deferred and recognized over the same term as therevenue. Reimbursements of research expense pursuant to grants are recorded asa reduction of research and development expense once the reimbursements areapproved and the Company is assured of collectibility.

 

***Intangible andLong-Lived Assets -***We follow SFAS No. 144, “*Accounting for Impairment of Disposal of Long-LivedAssets*”, which established a “primary asset” approach to determinethe cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities thatrepresents the unit of accounting for a long lived asset to be held andused.  Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairmentwhenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amountof an asset may not be recoverable.  The carrying amount of a long-livedasset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flowsexpected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carryingamount or fair value less cost to sell.  During the period ended September 30,2005 no impairment losses were recognized.

 

***Research andDevelopment Costs -***Research and development costsconsist of expenditures for the research and development of patents andtechnology, which are not capitalizable. Our research and development costsconsist mainly of payroll and payroll related expenses, research supplies andcosts incurred in connection with specific research grants.

 

***Stock BasedCompensation -***SFAS No. 123, “*Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation*,”establishes and encourages the use of the fair value based method of accountingfor stock-based compensation arrangements under which compensation cost isdetermined using the fair value of stock-based compensation determined as ofthe date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services iscompleted and is recognized over the periods in which the related services arerendered.  The statement also permits companies to elect to continue usingthe current intrinsic value accounting method specified in *APB*Opinion No. 25, “*Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees*,”to account for stock-based compensation to employees.  We have elected touse the intrinsic value based method for grants to our employees and directorsand have disclosed the pro forma effect of using the fair value based method toaccount for our stock-based compensation to employees.

 

ACT uses the fair value method for equity instruments granted tonon-employees and uses the Black Scholes model for measuring the fairvalue.  The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of thedate of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services iscompleted (measurement date) and is recognized over the periods in which therelated services are rendered.

 

## **RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

## ** **

***Revenues***

 

Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30,2005 and September 30, 2004 were approximately $83,000, $312,000, $251,000and $691,000 respectively. These amounts relate primarily to license fees androyalties collected that are being amortized over the period of the licensegranted. The reduction in revenue in current periods was due to decreasedrevenue levels from licensees’ operations.

 

***Research and Development Expenses and GrantReimbursements***

 

Research and development expenses for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004were approximately $734,000, $1,668,000, $153,000 and $690,000,respectively.  The increase in expensesin current periods, which consist mainly of payroll and payroll relatedexpenses, research supplies and costs incurred in connection with specificresearch grants, relate principally to increased staffing and spending forscientific research being done pursuant to a scientific grant from the USNational Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that expires in 2006.

 

Our research and development expenses consistprimarily of costs associated with basic and pre-clinical research exclusivelyin the field of human stem cell therapies and regenerative medicine, with focuson development of our technologies in cellular reprogramming, reducedcomplexity applications, and stem cell differentiation. These expensesrepresent both pre-clinical development costs and costs associated withnon-clinical support activities such as quality control and regulatoryprocesses. The cost of our research and development personnel is the mostsignificant category of expense; however, we also incur expenses with thirdparties, including license agreements, sponsored research programs and consultingexpenses.

 

We do not segregate research and developmentcosts by project because our research is focused exclusively on human stem celltherapies as a unitary field of study. Although we have three principal areas of focus for our research, theseareas are completely intertwined and have not yet matured to the point wherethey are separate and distinct projects. The intellectual property, scientists and other resources dedicated tothese efforts are not separately allocated to individual projects, but ratherare conducting our research on an integrated basis.

 

Weexpect that research and development expenses will continue to increase in theforeseeable future as we add personnel, expand our pre-clinical research, beginclinical trial activities, and increase our regulatory compliance capabilities.The amount of these increases is difficult to predict due to the uncertaintyinherent in the timing and extent of progress in our research programs, andinitiation of clinical trials. In addition, the results from our basic researchand pre-clinical trials, as well as the results of trials of similartherapeutics under development by others, will influence the number, size andduration of planned and unplanned trials. As our research efforts mature, wewill continue to review the direction of our research based on an assessment ofthe value of possible commercial applications emerging from these efforts.  Based on this continuing review, we expect toestablish discrete research programs and evaluate the cost and potential forcash inflows from commercializing products, partnering with others in thebiotechnology or pharmaceutical industry, or licensing the technologiesassociated with these programs to third parties.

 

We believe that it is not possible at this stage to providea meaningful estimate of the total cost to complete our ongoing projects andbring any proposed products to market. The use of human embryonic stem cells asa therapy is an emerging area of medicine, and it is not known what clinicaltrials will be required by the FDA in order to gain marketing approval. Coststo complete could vary substantially depending upon the projects selected for 

 

16

----

 

development,the number of clinical trials required and the number of patients needed foreach study. It is possible that the completion of these studies could bedelayed for a variety of reasons, including difficulties in enrolling patients,delays in manufacturing, incomplete or inconsistent data from the pre-clinicalor clinical trials, and difficulties evaluating the trial results. Any delay incompletion of a trial would increase the cost of that trial, which would harmour results of operations. Due to these uncertainties, we cannot reasonablyestimate the size, nature nor timing of the costs to complete, or the amount ortiming of the net cash inflows from our current activities. Until we obtainfurther relevant pre-clinical and clinical data, we will not be able toestimate our future expenses related to these programs or when, if ever, and towhat extent we will receive cash inflows from resulting products.

 

Grant reimbursements for the three and ninemonths ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 wereapproximately $172,000, $597,000, $89,000 and $230,000, respectively. Theseamounts represent approved reimbursements pursuant the grant from NIST. At September 30,2005, ACT had approximately $800,000 of funds available under the grant thatcan be used to reimburse future approved research expenditures through May 2006.Under the terms of the grant, the Company will lose any unused funds upon theexpiration of the grant.  Based uponcurrent spending levels, it is likely that the Company will be unable to fullyutilize funds available under the grant, and a portion of the grant will gounused.

 

**General and Administrative Expenses**

 

General and administrative expenses for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004were approximately $2,331,000, $5,572,000, $498,000 and $1,584,000,respectively.  The principal increase inexpense in the current periods versus the same periods last year is a result ofadditional salary costs related to the addition of key personnel, increasedprofessional fees related to ACT’s merger into a public company, and costs ofpreparing documents and records for various public filings with the Securitiesand Exchange Commission.

 

##### ***OtherIncome (Expense)***

 

Other income (expense) for the three and ninemonths ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 wereapproximately $540,000, $524,000, ($56,000) and ($153,000), respectively. Theincrease in other income in the three and nine months ended September 30,2005, compared to other expense in the prior periods, relates primarily to gainon settlement of debt related to favorable settlement of amounts owed toattorneys. The increase in interest expense and late fees in the three and ninemonths ended September 2005, compared to interest expense in the priorperiods relates primarily to interest recorded in connection with theconvertible debentures.

 

##### ***Net Loss***

 

Net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30,2005 and September 30, 2004 was approximately $2,311,000, $5,952,000,$382,000 and $1,691,000, respectively. The increased loss in the current periods is the result of increasedgeneral and administrative expenses, offset in part by increased interestincome and the gain on settlement of debt.

 

## ***RecentAccounting Pronouncements***

## ** **

In June 2005, the Emerging Issues TaskForce, or EITF, reached a consensus on Issue 05-6, Determining the AmortizationPeriod for Leasehold Improvements, which requires that leasehold improvementsacquired in a business combination or purchased subsequent to the inception ofa lease be amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the assets or a termthat includes renewals that are reasonably assured at the date of the businesscombination or purchase. EITF 05-6 is effective for periods beginning after July 1,2005. We do not expect the provisions of this consensus to have a materialimpact on the our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASBInterpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset RetirementObligations” (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 provides guidance relating to theidentification of and financial reporting for legal obligations to perform anasset retirement activity. The Interpretation requires recognition of aliability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation whenincurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 alsodefines when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimatethe fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The provision is effective nolater than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. TheCompany will adopt FIN 47 beginning the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 anddoes not believe the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidatedfinancial position or results of operations or cash flows.

 

In May 2005, the Financial AccountingStandards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS)No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APBOpinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.  SFAS No. 154 requires retrospectiveapplication to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accountingprinciple, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specificeffects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS No. 154 also requires that retrospective application of achange in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of thechange.  Indirect effects of a change inaccounting principle, such as a change in nondiscretionary profit-sharingpayments resulting from an accounting change, should be recognized in theperiod of the accounting change.  SFAS No. 154also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization or depletion methodfor long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accountingestimate effected by a change in accounting principle.  SFAS No. 154 is effective for accountingchanges and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15,2005.  Early adoption is permitted foraccounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginningafter the date this Statement is issued. Management does not expect the implementation of this new standard tohave a material impact on our financial position, results of operations andcash flows.

 

In March 2005, the SEC released StaffAccounting Bulletin No. 107, “Share-Based Payment”(“SAB 107”), whichprovides interpretive guidance related to the interaction between SFAS 123(R)and certain SEC rules and regulations. It also provides the SEC staff’s views regarding valuation of share-basedpayment arrangements.  In April 2005,the SEC amended the compliance dates for SFAS 123(R), to allow companies to 

 

17

----

 

implement the standard at the beginning of their next fiscal year,instead of the next reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005.  Management is currently evaluating the impactSAB 107 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2004, the FinancialAccounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges ofNonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting forNonmonetary Transactions.” The amendments made by Statement 153 are based onthe principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based onthe fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetaryexchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exceptionfor exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance.  Previously, Opinion 29 required that theaccounting for an exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive assetor an equivalent interest in the same or similar productive asset should bebased on the recorded amount of the asset relinquished.  Opinion 29 provided an exception to its basicmeasurement principle (fair value) for exchanges of similar productiveassets.  The FASB believes that exceptionrequired that some nonmonetary exchanges, although commercially substantive, berecorded on a carryover basis.  Byfocusing the exception on exchanges that lack commercial substance, the FASBbelieves this statement produces financial reporting that more faithfullyrepresents the economics of the transactions. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring infiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005.  Earlier application is permitted fornonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after thedate of issuance.  The provisions of SFAS153 shall be applied prospectively.  TheCompany has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 153, and does notbelieve the impact will be significant to the Company’s overall results ofoperations or financial position.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”.  SFAS 123(R) will provide investorsand other users of financial statements with more complete and neutralfinancial information by requiring that the compensation cost relating toshare-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liabilityinstruments issued.  SFAS 123(R) covers a wide range of share-basedcompensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans,performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee sharepurchase plans.  SFAS 123(R) replaces FASB Statement No. 123, “Accountingfor Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accountingfor Stock Issued to Employees”. SFAS 123, as originally issued in 1995,established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting forshare-based payment transactions with employees.  However, that statementpermitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in Opinion25, as long as the footnotes to financial statements disclosed what net incomewould have been had the preferable fair-value-based method been used. Public entities (other than those filing as small business issuers) will berequired to apply SFAS 123(R) as of the first interim or annual reportingperiod that begins after June 15, 2005. SFAS 123(R) is applicable for ACTeffective the first interim period that starts after December 15, 2005.The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123(R), andbelieves that the impact may be significant to the Company’s overall results ofoperations and financial position (a pro forma effect, as estimated bymanagement, is disclosed earlier in this note).

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152,“Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions, an amendment of FASBStatements No. 66 and 67 (SFAS 152)”. The amendments made by Statement 152amend FASB Statement No. 066, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”, toreference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estatetime-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP)04-2, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions”. This Statementalso amends FASB Statement No. 67, “Accounting for Costs and InitialRental Operations of Real Estate Projects”, to state that the guidance for (1) incidentaloperations and (2) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does notapply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The accounting for thoseoperations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP 04-2. This statement iseffective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15,2005, with earlier application encouraged. The Company has evaluated the impactof the adoption of SFAS 152, and does not believe the impact will besignificant to the Company’s overall results of operations or financialposition since the Company does not enter into such transactions.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued twoFASB Staff Positions—FSP FAS 109-1, Application of FASB Statement 109 “Accountingfor Income Taxes” to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production ActivitiesProvided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, and FSP FAS 109-2Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings RepatriationProvision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. Neither of theseaffected the Company as it does not participate in the related activities.

 

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151,“Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4”. The amendmentsmade by Statement 151 clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense,freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognizedas current period charges and require the allocation of fixed productionoverheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the productionfacilities. The guidance is effective for inventory costs incurred duringfiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application ispermitted for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after November 23,2004. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 151, anddoes not believe the impact will be significant to the Company’s overallresults of operations or financial position since the Company currently doesnot have any manufacturing operations or inventory.

 

In March 2004, the FASB approved theconsensus reached on the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-1,“The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to CertainInvestments.” The objective of this Issue is to provide guidancefor identifying impaired investments. EITF 03-1 also provides newdisclosure requirements for investments that are deemed to be temporarilyimpaired. The accounting provisions of EITF 03-1 are effective for all reportingperiods beginning after June 15, 2004, while the disclosure requirementsfor certain investments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15,2003, and for other investments such disclosure requirements are effective forannual periods ending after June 15, 2004.

 

In December 2003, the SEC issued StaffAccounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104 (“SAB No. 104”), “RevenueRecognition.” SAB No. 104 supersedes SAB No. 101, “RevenueRecognition in Financial Statements.” SAB No. 104, which was effective uponissuance, rescinded certain guidance contained in SAB No. 101 related tomultiple element revenue arrangements, and replaced such guidance with thatcontained in EITF 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with MultipleDeliverables.” Additionally, SAB No. 104 rescinded the SEC’s RevenueRecognition in Financial Statements Frequently Asked Questions and Answersissued with SAB No. 101. The revenue recognition principles of SAB No. 101remain largely 

 

18

----

 

unchanged by the issuance of SAB No. 104, and therefore theadoption of SAB No. 104 did not have a material effect on the Company’sresults of operations or financial condition.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASBInterpretation No. (“FIN”) 46, “Consolidation of Variable InterestEntities” (“FIN 46”). In December 2003, FIN 46 was replaced by FASBinterpretation No. 46(R) “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.”FIN 46(R) clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,“Consolidated Financial Statements,” to certain entities in which equityinvestors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interestor do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance itsactivities without additional subordinated financial support from otherparties. FIN 46(R) requires an enterprise to consolidate a variable interestentity if that enterprise will absorb a majority of the entity’s expectedlosses, is entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s expected residualreturns, or both. FIN 46(R) is effective for entities being evaluated under FIN46(R) for consolidation no later than the end of the first reporting periodthat ends after March 15, 2004. The Company does not currently have anyvariable interest entities that will be impacted by adoption of FIN 46(R).

 

##### ***LIQUIDITY ANDCAPITAL RESOURCES***

##### *** ***

We are financing our operations primarilywith $17,750,000 of proceeds of convertible debentures issued September 15,2005 and described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securitiesand Exchange Commission on September 19, 2005, and $8,000,000 of proceeds froma January 2005 preferred unit offering. To a substantially lesser degree, financing of our operations isprovided through grant funding, payments received under license agreements, andinterest earned on cash and cash equivalents.

 

With the exception of 2002, when we soldcertain assets of a subsidiary resulting in a gain for the year, we haveincurred substantial net losses each year since inception as a result ofresearch and development and general and administrative expenses in support ofour operations. We anticipate incurring substantial net losses in the future.

 

Cash, cash equivalents, and cash held inescrow at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 were approximately$16,483,000 and $3,676,000, respectively. The increase in the current period is the result of closing theconvertible debenture financing described above, net of amounts spent forpayment of notes and accounts payable, increased legal and accounting fees, andincreases in other general and administrative expenses.

 

Our cash and cash equivalents arelimited.  We expect to requiresubstantial additional funding.  Ourfuture cash requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace andscope of our research and development programs, the costs involved in filing,prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patents and other costs associated withcommercializing our potential products. We intend to seek additional funding primarily through public or privatefinancing transactions, and, to a lesser degree, new licensing or scientificcollaborations, grants from governmental or other institutions, and otherrelated transactions.   If we are unableto raise additional funds, we will be forced to either scale back our businessefforts or curtail our business activities entirely. We anticipate that ouravailable cash and expected income will be sufficient to finance most of ourcurrent activities for at least twelve months from the date of the financialstatements, although certain of these activities and related personnel may needto be reduced.  We cannot assure you thatpublic or private financing or grants will be available on acceptable terms, ifat all.  Several factors will affect ourability to raise additional funding, including, but not limited to, thevolatility of our Common Stock.

 

# **RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS**

# ** **

*Our business is subject to various risks, included but not limited to those described below.  You should carefully consider these factors, together with all the other information disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB.  Any of these risks could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.*

 

**Risks Relating to Our Early Stage ofDevelopment**

*** ***

***We have a limitedoperating history on which potential investors may evaluate our operations andprospects for profitable operations.***  We have a limited operating history on whicha potential investor may base an evaluation of us and our prospects. If we areunable to begin and sustain profitable operations, investors may lose theirentire investment in us. We are in the pre-clinical stage, and our prospectsmust be considered speculative in light of the risks, expenses and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development,particularly in light of the uncertainties relating to the new, competitive andrapidly evolving markets in which we anticipate we will operate. To attempt toaddress these risks, we must, among other things, further develop ourtechnologies, products and services, successfully implement our research,development, marketing and commercialization strategies, respond to competitivedevelopments and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. Asubstantial risk is involved in investing in us because, as a development stagecompany,

 

•                  we have fewer resources than an established company,

 

•                  our management may be more likely to make mistakesat such an early stage, and

 

•                  we may be more vulnerable operationally andfinancially to any mistakes that may be made, as well as to external factorsbeyond our control.

 

These difficulties are compounded by our heavy dependence on emergingand sometimes unproven technologies. In addition, some of our significantpotential revenue sources involve ethically sensitive and controversial issueswhich could become the subject of legislation or regulations that couldmaterially restrict our operations and, therefore, harm our financial condition,operating results and prospects for bringing our investors a return on theirinvestment.

 

19

----

 

***We have a history ofoperating losses, and we cannot assure you that we will achieve future revenuesor operating profits.***  We have generated modest revenue to date fromour operations. Historically, we have had net operating losses each year sinceour inception. We have limited current potential sources of revenue fromlicense fees and product development revenues, and we cannot assure you that wewill be able to develop such revenue sources or that our operations will becomeprofitable, even if we are able to commercialize our technologies or anyproducts or services developed from those technologies. If we continue tosuffer losses as we have in the past, investors may not receive any return ontheir investment and may lose their entire investment.

 

Although we have revenues from license fees and royalties, we have nocommercially marketable products and no immediate ability to generate revenuefrom commercial products, nor any assurance of being able to develop ourtechnologies for commercial applications. As a result, we may never be able tooperate profitably. We are just beginning to identify products available forpre-clinical trials and may not receive significant revenues from commercialsales of our products for the next several years, if at all, although we dogenerate revenues from licensing activities. We have marketed only a limitedamount of services based on our technologies and have little experience indoing so. Our technologies and any potential products or services that we maydevelop will require significant additional effort and investment prior tomaterial commercialization and, in the case of any biomedical products,pre-clinical and clinical testing and regulatory approvals. We cannot assureyou that we will be able to develop any such technologies or any products orservices, or that such technologies, products or services will prove to be safeand efficacious in clinical trials, meet applicable regulatory standards, becapable of being produced in commercial quantities at acceptable costs or besuccessfully marketed. For that reason, we may not be able to generate revenuesfrom commercial production or operate profitably.

 

We have sold the agricultural portion of our business in order tofinance operations. The agricultural applications of our technology generallyhave a more rapid realization of revenues due to more limited regulatoryrequirements and testing. Our ability to generate revenue from any agriculturalapplications of our technology is limited to existing license royalties, ifany.

 

***We will requiresubstantial additional funds to continue operating which may not be availableon acceptable terms, if at all.***  We believe our cash from all sources,including cash, cash equivalents and anticipated revenue stream from licensingfees and sponsored research contracts is sufficient for us to continueoperations through March 31, 2007, assuming the conversion of theConvertible Debentures. However, without substantial additional financingduring this period, we will need to significantly limit our capital andoperational spending and will therefore be limited in our ability to advanceour scientific efforts or further our efforts to operate profitably.

 

Management continues to evaluate alternatives and sources foradditional funding, which may include public or private investors, strategicpartners, and grant programs available through specific states or foundations.Lack of necessary funds may require us to delay, scale back or eliminate someor all of our research and product development programs and/or our capitalexpenditures or to license our potential products or technologies to thirdparties.

 

In addition, our cash requirements may vary materially from those nowplanned because of results of research and development, potential relationshipswith strategic partners, changes in the focus and direction of our research anddevelopment programs, competition, litigation required to protect ourtechnology, technological advances, the cost of pre-clinical and clinicaltesting, the regulatory process of the United States Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA, and foreign regulators, whether any of our productsbecome approved or the market acceptance of any such products and otherfactors. Our current cash reserves are not sufficient to fund our operationsthrough the commercialization of our first products or services.

 

***We have limitedclinical testing, regulatory, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and salescapabilities which may limit our ability to generate revenues.***  Because of the relatively early stage of ourresearch and development programs, we have not yet invested significantly inclinical testing, regulatory, manufacturing, or in marketing, distribution orproduct sales resources. We cannot assure you that we will be able to developany such resources successfully or as quickly as may be necessary. Theinability to do so may harm our ability to generate revenues or operateprofitably.

 

**Risks Relating to Competition**

 

***Our competitionincludes both public and private organizations and collaborations amongacademic institutions and large pharmaceutical companies, most of which havesignificantly greater experience and financial resources than we do.***  The biotechnology and pharmaceuticalindustries are characterized by intense competition. We compete againstnumerous companies, both domestic and foreign, many of which have substantiallygreater experience and financial and other resources than we have. Several suchenterprises have initiated cell therapy research programs and/or efforts totreat the same diseases targeted by us. Companies such as Geron Corporation,Genzyme Corporation, StemCells, Inc., Aastrom Biosciences, Inc. andViacell, Inc., as well as others, many of which have substantially greaterresources and experience in our fields than we do, are well situated to competewith us effectively. Of course, any of the world’s largest pharmaceuticalcompanies represents a significant actual or potential competitor with vastlygreater resources than ours.

 

These companies hold licenses to genetic selection technologies andother technologies that are competitive with our technologies. These and othercompetitive enterprises have devoted, and will continue to devote, substantialresources to the development of technologies and products in competition withus.

 

Private and public academic and research institutions also compete withus in the research and development of human therapeutic or agriculturalproducts. In the past several years, the pharmaceutical industry hasselectively entered into collaborations with both public and privateorganizations to explore the possibilities that stem cell therapies may presentfor substantive breakthroughs in the fight against disease.

 

In addition, many of our competitors have significantly greaterexperience than we have in the development, pre-clinical testing and humanclinical trials of biotechnology and pharmaceutical products, in obtaining FDAand other regulatory approvals of such products and in manufacturing andmarketing such products. Accordingly our competitors may succeed in obtainingFDA approval for products more rapidly or effectively than we can. Ourcompetitors may also be the first to discover and obtain a valid patent to aparticular stem cell which may effectively block all others from doing so. Itwill be important for us or our collaborators to be the first to discover anystem cell that we are seeking to discover. Failure to be the first couldprevent us from commercializing all 

 

20

----

 

of our research and development affected by that discovery.Additionally, if we commence commercial sales of any products, we will also becompeting with respect to manufacturing efficiency and sales and marketingcapabilities, areas in which we have no experience.

 

The United States is encountering tremendous competition from manyforeign countries that are providing an environment more attractive for stemcell research. The governments of numerous foreign countries are investing instem cell research, providing facilities, personnel and legal environmentsintended to attract biotechnology companies and encourage stem cell researchand development of stem cell-related technologies.

 

These efforts by foreign countries may make it more difficult toeffectively compete in our industry and may generate competitors withsubstantially greater resources than ours.

 

**Risks Relating to Our Technology**

 

**We rely onnuclear transfer and embryonic stem cell technologies that we may not be ableto successfully develop, which will prevent us from generating revenues,operating profitably or providing investors any return on their investment.**  We have concentrated our research on ournuclear transfer and embryonic stem cell technologies, and our ability tooperate profitably will depend on being able to successfully develop thesetechnologies for human applications. These are emerging technologies with, asyet, limited human applications. We cannot guarantee that we will be able tosuccessfully develop our nuclear transfer and embryonic stem cell technologiesor that such development will result in products or services with any significantcommercial utility. We anticipate that the commercial sale of such products orservices, and royalty/licensing fees related to our technology, would be ourprimary sources of revenues. If we are unable to develop our technologies,investors will likely lose their entire investment in us.

 

The outcome of pre-clinical, clinical and product testing of ourproducts is uncertain, and if we are unable to satisfactorily complete suchtesting, or if such testing yields unsatisfactory results, we will be unable tocommercially produce our proposed products. Before obtaining regulatoryapprovals for the commercial sale of any potential human products, our productswill be subjected to extensive pre-clinical and clinical testing to demonstratetheir safety and efficacy in humans. We cannot assure you that the clinicaltrials of our products, or those of our licensees or collaborators, willdemonstrate the safety and efficacy of such products at all, or to the extentnecessary to obtain appropriate regulatory approvals, or that the testing ofsuch products will be completed in a timely manner, if at all, or withoutsignificant increases in costs, program delays or both, all of which could harmour ability to generate revenues. In addition, our prospective products may notprove to be more effective for treating disease or injury than currenttherapies. Accordingly, we may have to delay or abandon efforts to research,develop or obtain regulatory approval to market our prospective products. Manycompanies involved in biotechnology research and development have sufferedsignificant setbacks in advanced clinical trials, even after promising resultsin earlier trials. The failure to adequately demonstrate the safety andefficacy of a therapeutic product under development could delay or preventregulatory approval of the product and could harm our ability to generaterevenues, operate profitably or produce any return on an investment in us.

 

While the marketing of cloned or transgenic animals does not currentlyrequire regulatory approval, such approval may be required in the future. Wecannot assure you that we would obtain such approvals or that our licensees’products would be accepted in the marketplace. This lack of approval couldreduce or preclude any royalty revenues we might receive from our licensees inthat field.

 

***We may not be ableto commercially develop our technologies and proposed product lines, which, inturn, would significantly harm our ability to earn revenues and result in aloss of investment.***   Our ability to commercially develop ourtechnologies will be dictated in large part by forces outside our control whichcannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, general economicconditions, the success of our research and pre-clinical and field testing, theavailability of collaborative partners to finance our work in pursuingapplications of nuclear transfer technology and technological or otherdevelopments in the biomedical field which, due to efficiencies, technologicalbreakthroughs or greater acceptance in the biomedical industry, may render oneor more areas of commercialization more attractive, obsolete or competitivelyunattractive. It is possible that one or more areas of commercialization willnot be pursued at all if a collaborative partner or entity willing to fundresearch and development cannot be located. Our decisions regarding theultimate products and/or services we pursue could have a significant adverseaffect on our ability to earn revenue if we misinterpret trends, underestimatedevelopment costs and/or pursue wrong products or services. Any of thesefactors either alone or in concert could materially harm our ability to earnrevenues and could result in a loss of any investment in us.

 

***If we are unable tokeep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively,we will be unable to operate profitably.***   We are engaged in activities in thebiotechnology field, which is characterized by extensive research efforts andrapid technological progress. If we fail to anticipate or respond adequately totechnological developments, our ability to operate profitably could suffer. Wecannot assure you that research and discoveries by other biotechnology,agricultural, pharmaceutical or other companies will not render our technologiesor potential products or services uneconomical or result in products superiorto those we develop or that any technologies, products or services we developwill be preferred to any existing or newly-developed technologies, products orservices.

 

**We may notbe able to protect our proprietary technology, which could harm our ability tooperate profitably.**  The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries place considerableimportance on obtaining patent and trade secret protection for new technologies,products and processes. Our success will depend, to a substantial degree, onour ability to obtain and enforce patent protection for our products, preserveany trade secrets and operate without infringing the proprietary rights ofothers. We cannot assure you that:

 

•                  wewill succeed in obtaining any patents in a timely manner or at all, or that thebreadth or degree of protection of any such patents will protect our interests,

 

•                  the use of our technology will not infringe on theproprietary rights of others,

 

21

----

 

•                  patent applications relating to our potentialproducts or technologies will result in the issuance of any patents or that, ifissued, such patents will afford adequate protection to us or not be challengedinvalidated or infringed, and

 

•                  patents will not issue to other parties, which maybe infringed by our potential products or technologies.

 

We are aware of certain patents that have been granted to others andcertain patent applications that have been filed by others with respect tonuclear transfer technologies. The fields in which we operate have beencharacterized by significant efforts by competitors to establish dominant orblocking patent rights to gain a competitive advantage, and by considerabledifferences of opinion as to the value and legal legitimacy of competitors’purported patent rights and the technologies they actually utilize in theirbusinesses.

 

***Our business is highly dependent uponmaintaining licenses with respect to key technology.***   Several of the key patents we utilize arelicensed to us by third parties. These licenses are subject to terminationunder certain circumstances (including, for example, our failure to makeminimum royalty payments or to timely achieve development and commercializationbenchmarks). The loss of any of such licenses, or the conversion of suchlicenses to non-exclusive licenses, could harm our operations and/or enhancethe prospects of our competitors.

 

Certain of these licenses alsocontain restrictions, such as limitations on our ability to grant sublicensesthat could materially interfere with our ability to generate revenue throughthe licensing or sale to third parties of important and valuable technologiesthat we have, for strategic reasons, elected not to pursue directly. Thepossibility exists that in the future we will require further licenses tocomplete and/or commercialize our proposed products. We cannot assure you thatwe will be able to acquire any such licenses on a commercially viable basis.

 

***We may not be ableto adequately protect against piracy of intellectual property in foreignjurisdictions.***  Considerable research in the areas of stem cells, cell therapeutics andregenerative medicine is being performed in countries outside of the UnitedStates, and a number of our competitors are located in those countries. Thelaws protecting intellectual property in some of those countries may notprovide protection for our trade secrets and intellectual property adequate toprevent our competitors from misappropriating our trade secrets or intellectualproperty. If our trade secrets or intellectual property are misappropriated inthose countries, we may be without adequate remedies to address the issue.

 

***Certain of ourtechnology is not protectable by patent.***  Certain parts of our know-how and technologyare not patentable. To protect our proprietary position in such know-how andtechnology, we intend to require all employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality and invention ownership agreementswith us. We cannot assure you, however, that these agreements will providemeaningful protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietaryinformation in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, in theabsence of patent protection, competitors who independently developsubstantially equivalent technology may harm our business.

 

***Patent litigationpresents an ongoing threat to our business with respect to both outcomes andcosts.***   Wehave previously been involved in patent interference litigation with Infigen, Inc.,and are currently involved in two patent disputes with Geron Corporation, andit is possible that further litigation over patent matters with one or morecompetitors could arise. We could incur substantial litigation or interferencecosts in defending ourselves against suits brought against us or in suits inwhich we may assert our patents against others. If the outcome of any suchlitigation, including our current disputes with Geron Corporation, isunfavorable, our business would likely be materially adversely affected. Todetermine the priority of inventions, we may also have to participate ininterference proceedings declared by the United States Patent and TrademarkOffice, which could result in substantial cost to us. Without additionalcapital, we may not have the resources to adequately defend or pursue thislitigation.

 

**Risks Relating to Our Recent Financing**

 

***If we are requiredfor any reason to repay our outstanding convertible debentures we would berequired to deplete our working capital, if available, or raise additionalfunds. Our failure to repay the convertible debentures, if required, couldresult in legal action against us, which could require the sale of substantialassets.***  Wehave outstanding $22,276,250 aggregate original principal amount of convertibledebentures with an original issue discount of 20.3187%. Beginning in March of2006 and continuing for each successive month throughout the three year term ofthe debentures, we are required to redeem, by payment with cash or with sharesof our common stock, 1/30th of the aggregate original principal amount of thedebentures. These monthly payments will impact the amount of working capitalavailable to us. The convertible debentures are due and payable in full threeyears from the date of issuance, unless sooner converted into shares of ourcommon stock. Any event of default could require the early repayment of theconvertible debentures, including the accruing of interest on the outstandingprincipal balance of the debentures if the default is not cured with thespecified grace period. We anticipate that the full amount of the convertibledebentures will be converted into shares of our common stock, in accordance withthe terms of the convertible debentures. If, prior to the maturity date, we arerequired to repay the convertible debentures in full, we would be required touse our limited working capital and raise additional funds. If we were unableto repay the notes when required, the debenture holders could commence legalaction against us to recover the amounts due. Any such action could require usto curtail or cease operations.

 

***There are a largenumber of shares underlying our convertible debentures in full, and warrantsthat may be available for future sale and the sale of these shares may depressthe market price of our common stock.***  As of September 30, 2005, we had:

 

•                  outstanding convertible debentures that may beconverted into an estimated 9,685,326 shares of common stock based on aconversion price of $2.30, and

 

•                  outstanding warrants to purchase 6,004,902 shares ofcommon stock with an exercise price of $2.53, which such warrants were issuedin connection with the sale of the convertible debentures.

 

22

----

 

All of the shares, including all of the shares issuable upon conversionof the debentures and upon exercise of our warrants, may be sold withoutrestriction. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in thepublic market after this offering could adversely affect the market price forour common stock and make it more difficult for you to sell shares of ourcommon stock at times and prices that you feel are appropriate.

 

***The issuance ofshares upon conversion of the convertible debentures and exercise ofoutstanding warrants will cause immediate and substantial dilution to ourexisting stockholders.***  The issuance of shares upon conversion of theconvertible debentures and exercise of warrants will result in substantialdilution to the interests of other stockholders since the selling securityholders may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on conversion.Although no single selling security holder may convert its convertible debenturesand/or exercise its warrants if such conversion or exercise would cause it toown more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock, this restriction does notprevent each selling security holder from converting and/or exercising some ofits holdings and then converting the rest of its holdings. In this way, eachselling security holder could sell more than this limit while never holdingmore than this limit. There is no upper limit on the number of shares that maybe issued which will have the effect of further diluting the proportionateequity interest and voting power of holders of our common stock, includinginvestors in this offering.

 

**Risks Relating to Government Regulation**

 

***Companies such asours engaged in research using nuclear transfer and embryonic stem cells arecurrently subject to strict government regulations, and our operations could beharmed by any legislative or administrative efforts impacting the use ofnuclear transfer technology or human embryonic material.***  Our business is focused on human celltherapy, which includes the production of human differentiated cells from stemcells and involves the use of nuclear transfer technology, human oocytes, andembryonic material. Nuclear transfer technology, commonly known as therapeuticcloning, and research utilizing embryonic stem cells are controversialsubjects, and are currently subject to intense scrutiny, both in the UnitedStates, the United Nations and throughout the world, particularly in the areaof nuclear transfer of human cells and the use of human embryonic material.

 

We cannot assure you that our operations will not be harmed by anylegislative or administrative efforts by politicians or groups opposed to thedevelopment of nuclear transfer technology generally or the use of nucleartransfer for therapeutic cloning of human cells specifically. Further, wecannot assure you that legislative or administrative restrictions directly orindirectly delaying, limiting or preventing the use of nuclear transfertechnology or human embryonic material or the sale, manufacture or use ofproducts or services derived from nuclear transfer technology or humanembryonic material will not be adopted in the future.

 

***Restrictions on theuse of human embryonic stem cells, and the ethical, legal and socialimplications of that research, could prevent us from developing or gainingacceptance for commercially viable products in these areas.***  Some of our most important programs involvethe use of stem cells that are derived from human embryos. The use of humanembryonic stem cells gives rise to ethical, legal and social issues regardingthe appropriate use of these cells. In the event that our research related tohuman embryonic stem cells becomes the subject of adverse commentary orpublicity, the market price for our common stock could be significantly harmed.Some political and religious groups have voiced opposition to our technologyand practices. We use stem cells derived from human embryos that have beencreated for in vitro fertilization procedures but are no longer desired orsuitable for that use and are donated with appropriate informed consent forresearch use. Many research institutions, including some of our scientificcollaborators, have adopted policies regarding the ethical use of human embryonictissue. These policies may have the effect of limiting the scope of researchconducted using human embryonic stem cells, thereby impairing our ability toconduct research in this field.

 

Potential and actual legislation and regulation at the federal or statelevel related to our technology could limit our activities and ability todevelop products for commercial sales, depriving us of our anticipated sourceof future revenues. For example, in July 2001, the House ofRepresentatives of the United States Congress passed a bill, HR 2505, the “HumanCloning Prohibition Act of 2001.” This bill was placed on the calendar of theU.S. Senate in August 2002, where it did not pass. However, similar billscould be introduced in the future aiming to prohibit the use orcommercialization of somatic cell nuclear transfer technology or of anyproducts resulting from it, including those related to human therapeuticcloning and regenerative medicine. Such legislation could have a significantinfluence on our ability to pursue our research, development andcommercialization plans in the United States.

 

Any future or additional government-imposed restrictions in these orother jurisdictions with respect to use of embryos or human embryonic stemcells in research and development could have a material adverse effect on us,by, among other things:

 

•                  harming our ability to establish criticalpartnerships and collaborations,

 

•                  delaying or preventing progress in our research anddevelopment,

 

•                  limiting or preventing the development, sale or useof our products, and

 

•                  causing a decrease in the price of our stock.

 

***Because we or ourcollaborators must obtain regulatory approval to market our products in theUnited States and other countries, we cannot predict whether or when we will bepermitted to commercialize our products.***  Federal, state and local governments in theUnited States and governments in other countries have significant regulationsin place that govern many of our activities. We are or may become subject tovarious federal, state and local laws, regulations and recommendations relatingto safe working conditions, laboratory and manufacturing practices, theexperimental use of animals and the use and disposal of hazardous orpotentially hazardous substances used in connection with our research anddevelopment work. The preclinical testing and clinical trials of the productsthat we or our collaborators develop are subject to extensive governmentregulation that may prevent us from creating commercially viable products fromour discoveries. In addition, the sale by us or our collaborators of anycommercially viable product will be subject to government regulation fromseveral standpoints, including manufacturing, advertising and promoting,selling and marketing, labeling, and distributing.

If, and to the extent that, we are unable to comply with theseregulations, our ability to earn revenues will be materially and negativelyimpacted. The regulatory process, particularly in the biotechnology field, isuncertain, can take many years and requires the expenditure of substantialresources. Biological drugs and non-biological drugs are rigorously regulated.In particular, proposed human pharmaceutical therapeutic product candidates aresubject to rigorous preclinical and clinical testing and other requirements bythe FDA in the United States and similar health authorities in other countriesin order to demonstrate safety and efficacy. We may never obtain regulatoryapproval to market our proposed products.

 

Our products may not receive FDA approval, which would prevent us fromcommercially marketing our products and producing revenues. The FDA andcomparable government agencies in foreign countries impose substantial regulationson the manufacture and marketing of pharmaceutical products through lengthy anddetailed laboratory, pre-clinical and clinical testing procedures, samplingactivities and other costly and time-consuming procedures. Satisfaction ofthese regulations typically takes several years or more and variessubstantially based upon the type, complexity and novelty of the proposedproduct. We cannot yet accurately predict when we might first submit anyInvestigational New Drug, or IND, application to the FDA, or whether any suchIND application would be granted on a timely basis, if at all, nor can weassure you that we will successfully complete any clinical trials in connectionwith any such IND application. Further, we cannot yet accurately predict whenwe might first submit any product license application for FDA approval orwhether any such product license application would be granted on a timelybasis, if at all. As a result, we cannot assure you that FDA approvals for anyproducts developed by us will be granted on a timely basis, if at all. Any suchdelay in obtaining, or failure to obtain, such approvals could have a materialadverse effect on the marketing of our products and our ability to generateproduct revenue.

 

***For-profit entitiesmay be prohibited from benefiting from grant funding.***  There has been much publicity about grantresources for stem cell research, including Proposition 71 in California. Thereis ongoing litigation in California that may delay, or prevent the sale ofState bonds that would fund the activities contemplated by California voters.In addition, rules and regulations related to any funding that mayultimately be provided, the type of entity that will be eligible for funding,the science to be funded, and funding details have not been finalized. As aresult of these uncertainties regarding Proposition 71, we cannot assure youthat funding, if any, will be available to us, or any for-profit entity.

 

***The governmentmaintains certain rights in technology that we develop using government grantmoney and we may lose the revenues from such technology if we do notcommercialize and utilize the technology pursuant to established governmentguidelines.*** Certain of our and our licensors’ research has been or is being fundedin part by government grants. In connection with certain grants, the U.S.government retains rights in the technology developed with the grant. Theserights could restrict our ability to fully capitalize upon the value of thisresearch.

 

**Risks Relating to Our Reliance on ThirdParties**

 

***We depend on ourcollaborators to help us develop and test our proposed products, and ourability to develop and commercialize products may be impaired or delayed ifcollaborations are unsuccessful.***  Our strategy for the development, clinical testingand commercialization of our proposed products requires that we enter intocollaborations with corporate partners, licensors, licensees and others. We aredependent upon the subsequent success of these other parties in performingtheir respective responsibilities and the continued cooperation of ourpartners. Our collaborators may not cooperate with us or perform theirobligations under our agreements with them. We cannot control the amount andtiming of our collaborators’ resources that will be devoted to our research anddevelopment activities related to our collaborative agreements with them. Ourcollaborators may choose to pursue existing or alternative technologies inpreference to those being developed in collaboration with us.

 

Under agreements with collaborators, we may rely significantly on suchcollaborators to, among other things:

 

•                  design and conduct advanced clinical trials in theevent that we reach clinical trials,

 

•                  fund research and development activities with us,

 

•                  pay us fees upon the achievement of milestones, and

 

•                  market with us any commercial products that resultfrom our collaborations.

 

The development and commercialization of potential products will bedelayed if collaborators fail to conduct these activities in a timely manner orat all. In addition, our collaborators could terminate their agreements with usand we may not receive any development or milestone payments. If we do notachieve milestones set forth in the agreements, or if our collaborators breachor terminate their collaborative agreements with us, our business may bematerially harmed.

 

***Our reliance on theactivities of our non-employee consultants, research institutions, andscientific contractors, whose activities are not wholly within our control, maylead to delays in development of our proposed products.***  We rely extensively upon and haverelationships with scientific consultants at academic and other institutions,some of whom conduct research at our request, and other consultants withexpertise in clinical development strategy or other matters. These consultantsare not our employees and may have commitments to, or consulting or advisorycontracts with, other entities that may limit their availability to us. We havelimited control over the activities of these consultants and, except asotherwise required by our collaboration and consulting agreements to the extentthey exist, can expect only limited amounts of their time to be dedicated toour activities.

 

24

----

 

In addition, we have formed research collaborations with academic andother research institutions throughout the world. These research facilities mayhave commitments to other commercial and non-commercial entities. We havelimited control over the operations of these laboratories and can expect onlylimited amounts of time to be dedicated to our research goals.

 

We also rely on other companies for certain process development orother technical scientific work. We have contracts with these companies that specifythe work to be done and results to be achieved, but we do not have directcontrol over their personnel or operations. If any of these third parties areunable or refuse to contribute to projects on which we need their help, ourability to generate advances in our technologies and develop our products couldbe significantly harmed.

 

**General Risks Relating to Our Business**

 

***We may be subject tolitigation that will be costly to defend or pursue and uncertain in itsoutcome.*** Our business may bring us into conflict with our licensees, licensors,or others with whom we have contractual or other business relationships, orwith our competitors or others whose interests differ from ours. If we areunable to resolve those conflicts on terms that are satisfactory to allparties, we may become involved in litigation brought by or against us. Thatlitigation is likely to be expensive and may require a significant amount ofmanagement’s time and attention, at the expense of other aspects of ourbusiness. The outcome of litigation is always uncertain, and in some casescould include judgments against us that require us to pay damages, enjoin usfrom certain activities, or otherwise affect our legal or contractual rights,which could have a significant adverse effect on our business. ACT Group filedfor dissolution on September 22, 2005 with the Secretary of State of thestate of Delaware. There can be no assurance that we will not be subject toclaims arising out of the dissolution process. 

 

***We may not be ableto obtain third-party patient reimbursement or favorable product pricing, whichwould reduce our ability to operate profitably.***  Our ability to successfully commercializecertain of our proposed products in the human therapeutic field may depend to asignificant degree on patient reimbursement of the costs of such products andrelated treatments at acceptable levels from government authorities, privatehealth insurers and other organizations, such as health maintenanceorganizations. We cannot assure you that reimbursement in the United States orforeign countries will be available for any products we may develop or, ifavailable, will not be decreased in the future, or that reimbursement amountswill not reduce the demand for, or the price of, our products with a consequentharm to our business. We cannot predict what additional regulation orlegislation relating to the health care industry or third-party coverage andreimbursement may be enacted in the future or what effect such regulation orlegislation may have on our business. If additional regulations are overlyonerous or expensive, or if health care related legislation makes our businessmore expensive or burdensome than originally anticipated, we may be forced tosignificantly downsize our business plans or completely abandon our businessmodel.

 

***Our products arelikely to be expensive to manufacture, and they may not be profitable if we areunable to control the costs to manufacture them.***  Our products are likely to be significantlymore expensive to manufacture than most other drugs currently on the markettoday. Our present manufacturing processes produce modest quantities of productintended for use in our ongoing research activities, and we have not developedprocesses, procedures and capability to produce commercial volumes of product.We hope to substantially reduce manufacturing costs through processimprovements, development of new science, increases in manufacturing scale andoutsourcing to experienced manufacturers. If we are not able to make these orother improvements, and depending on the pricing of the product, our profitmargins may be significantly less than that of most drugs on the market today.In addition, we may not be able to charge a high enough price for any celltherapy product we develop, even if they are safe and effective, to make aprofit. If we are unable to realize significant profits from our potentialproduct candidates, our business would be materially harmed.

 

***To be successful,our proposed products must be accepted by the health care community, which canbe very slow to adopt or unreceptive to new technologies and products.***  Our proposed products and those developed byour collaborative partners, if approved for marketing, may not achieve marketacceptance since hospitals, physicians, patients or the medical community ingeneral may decide not to accept and utilize these products. The products thatwe are attempting to develop represent substantial departures from establishedtreatment methods and will compete with a number of more conventional drugs andtherapies manufactured and marketed by major pharmaceutical companies. Thedegree of market acceptance of any of our developed products will depend on anumber of factors, including:

 

•                  our establishment and demonstration to the medicalcommunity of the clinical efficacy and safety of our proposed products;

 

•                  our ability to create products that are superior toalternatives currently on the market;

 

•                  our ability to establish in the medical communitythe potential advantage of our treatments over alternative treatment methods;and

 

•                  reimbursement policies of government and third-partypayors.

 

If the health care community does not accept our products for any ofthe foregoing reasons, or for any other reason, our business would bematerially harmed.

 

***Our current sourceof revenues depends on the stability and performance of our sublicensees.***  Our ability to collect royalties on productsales from our sublicensees will depend on the financial and operationalsuccess of the companies operating under a sublicense. We have numerouslicensees to third parties including Lifeline Cell Technology, Exeter LifeSciences and GTC Biotherapeutics, as well as others that hold licenses to ourtechnology. Revenues from those licensees will depend upon the financial andoperational success of those third parties. We cannot assure you that theselicensees will be successful in obtaining requisite financing or in developingand successfully marketing their products. These licensees may experience unanticipatedobstacles including regulatory hurdles, and scientific or technical challenges,which could have the effect of reducing their ability to generate revenues andpay us royalties.

 

25

----

 

***We depend on keypersonnel for our continued operations and future success, and a loss ofcertain key personnel could significantly hinder our ability to move forwardwith our business plan.***  Because of the specialized nature of ourbusiness, we are highly dependent on our ability to identify, hire, train andretain highly qualified scientific and technical personnel for the research anddevelopment activities we conduct or sponsor. The loss of one or more certainkey executive officers, or scientific officers, would be significantlydetrimental to us. In addition, recruiting and retaining qualified scientificpersonnel to perform research and development work is critical to our success.Our anticipated growth and expansion into areas and activities requiringadditional expertise, such as clinical testing, regulatory compliance,manufacturing and marketing, will require the addition of new managementpersonnel and the development of additional expertise by existing managementpersonnel. There is intense competition for qualified personnel in the areas ofour present and planned activities, and there can be no assurance that we willbe able to continue to attract and retain the qualified personnel necessary forthe development of our business. The failure to attract and retain suchpersonnel or to develop such expertise would adversely affect our business.

 

***Our credibility as abusiness operating in the field of human embryonic stem cells is largelydependent upon the support of our Ethics Advisory Board.***  Because the use of human embryonic stem cellsgives rise to ethical, legal and social issues, we have instituted an EthicsAdvisory Board. Our Ethics Advisory Board is made up of highly qualifiedindividuals with expertise in the field of human embryonic stem cells. We cannotassure you that these members will continue to serve on our Ethics AdvisoryBoard, and the loss of any such member may affect the credibility andeffectiveness of the Board. As a result, our business may be materially harmedin the event of any such loss.

 

***Our insurancepolicies may be inadequate and potentially expose us to unrecoverable risks.***   We have limited director and officerinsurance and commercial insurance policies. Any significant insurance claimswould have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition andresults of operations. Insurance availability, coverage terms and pricingcontinue to vary with market conditions. We endeavor to obtain appropriateinsurance coverage for insurable risks that we identify, however, we may failto correctly anticipate or quantify insurable risks, we may not be able toobtain appropriate insurance coverage, and insurers may not respond as weintend to cover insurable events that may occur. We have observed rapidlychanging conditions in the insurance markets relating to nearly all areas oftraditional corporate insurance. Such conditions have resulted in higherpremium costs, higher policy deductibles, and lower coverage limits. For somerisks, we may not have or maintain insurance coverage because of cost oravailability.

 

***We have no productliability insurance, which may leave us vulnerable to future claims we will beunable to satisfy.***   The testing, manufacturing, marketing andsale of human therapeutic products entail an inherent risk of product liabilityclaims, and we cannot assure you that substantial product liability claims willnot be asserted against us. We have no product liability insurance. In theevent we are forced to expend significant funds on defending product liabilityactions, and in the event those funds come from operating capital, we will berequired to reduce our business activities, which could lead to significantlosses.

 

We cannot assure you that adequate insurance coverage will be availablein the future on acceptable terms, if at all, or that, if available, we will beable to maintain any such insurance at sufficient levels of coverage or thatany such insurance will provide adequate protection against potentialliabilities. Whether or not a product liability insurance policy is obtained ormaintained in the future, any product liability claim could harm our businessor financial condition.

 

***We need to improveour financial control procedures.***  Since the merger, we have determined thatthere are deficiencies in the operating effectiveness of our internal controlsover financial reporting that we believe would collectively constitutesignificant deficiencies and material weaknesses under standards established bythe American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, resulting in more thana remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interimfinancial statements will not be prevented or detected. Since the merger,additional management processes and procedures have been added to supplementthe underlying systems of internal accounting control to allow timelypreparation and filing of required financial reports.

 

In our opinion, we have not established and did not maintain effectiveinternal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2005. We alsobelieve that because of the effect of the material weakness we have identified,we have not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting asof September 30, 2005, based on criteria established in InternalControl—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of SponsoringOrganizations of the Treadway Commission. We have taken initial remedial steps,and will continue our on-going evaluation of internal controls and expect toimprove our internal controls over financial reporting as necessary to assuretheir effectiveness, but there can be no assurance that we will succeed or thatother deficiencies will not be identified.

 

***We presently havemembers of management and other key employees located in various locationsthroughout the country which adds complexities to the operation of thebusiness.***  Presently, we have members of management and other key employees locatedin both California and Massachusetts, which adds complexities to the operationof our business. We intend to maintain our research facilities in Massachusettsand establish corporate offices and an additional research facility inCalifornia. We will likely incur significant costs associated with maintainingmultiple locations.

 

***We face risksrelated to compliance with corporate governance laws and financial reportingstandards.*** The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related new rules andregulations implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and thePublic Company Accounting Oversight Board, require changes in the corporategovernance practices and financial reporting standards for public companies.These new laws, rules and regulations, including compliance with Section 404of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 relating to internal control over financialreporting, referred to as Section 404, have materially increased our legaland financial compliance costs and made some activities more time-consuming andmore burdensome. Section 404 requires that our management assess ourinternal control over financial reporting annually and include a report on itsassessment in our annual report. Our independent registered public accountingfirm is required to audit both the design and operating effectiveness of ourinternal controls and management’s assessment of the design and the operatingeffectiveness of our internal controls. There exist material weaknesses anddeficiencies at this time in our internal controls. These weaknesses anddeficiencies could have a material adverse effect on our business andoperations.

 

**Risks Relating to Our Common Stock**

 

***Stock prices forbiotechnology companies have historically tended to be very volatile.***  Stock prices and trading volumes for manybiotechnology companies 

 

26

----

 

fluctuate widely for a number of reasons, including but not limited tothe following factors, some of which may be unrelated to their businesses orresults of operations:

 

•                  clinical trial results

 

•                  the amount of cash resources and ability to obtainadditional funding

 

•                  announcements of research activities, businessdevelopments, technological innovations or new products by companies or theircompetitors

 

•                  entering into or terminating strategic relationships

 

•                  changes in government regulation

 

•                  disputes concerning patents or proprietary rights

 

•                  changes in revenues or expense levels

 

•                  public concern regarding the safety, efficacy orother aspects of the products or methodologies being developed

 

•                  reports by securities analysts

 

•                  activities of various interest groups or organizations

 

•                  media coverage

 

•                  status of the investment markets

 

This market volatility, as well as general domestic or internationaleconomic, market and political conditions, could materially and adverselyaffect the market price of our common stock and the return on your investment.

 

***A significant numberof shares of our common stock will become available for sale and their salecould depress the price of our common stock.***  On January 31, 2006, a significantnumber of our outstanding securities (not including the shares underlying thedebentures and warrants issued in the recent financing) that are currentlyrestricted will become eligible for sale under Rule 144 of the SecuritiesAct.

 

Not including the shares of common stock underlying the convertibledebentures and the warrants issued in connection with our recent financing, asof September 30, 2005, there are presently approximately 22,000,000outstanding options, warrants and other securities convertible or exercisableinto shares of our common stock.

 

We may also sell a substantial number of additional shares of ourcommon stock in connection with a private placement or public offering ofshares of our common stock (or other series or class of capital stock to bedesignated in the future). The terms of any such private placement would likelyrequire us to register the resale of any shares of capital stock issued orissuable in the transaction. We have also issued common stock to certainparties, such as vendors and service providers, as payment for products andservices. Under these arrangements, we may agree to register the shares forresale soon after their issuance. We may also continue to pay for certain goodsand services with equity, which would dilute your interest in the company.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock under anyof the circumstances described above could adversely affect the market pricefor our common stock and make it more difficult for you to sell shares of ourcommon stock at times and prices that you feel are appropriate.

 

***We do not intend topay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.***  Any payment of cash dividends will dependupon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements andother factors and will be at the discretion of our board of directors. We donot anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeablefuture. Furthermore, we may incur additional indebtedness that may severelyrestrict or prohibit the payment of dividends.

 

***Our securities arequoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which may limit the liquidity and price ofour securities more than if our securities were quoted or listed on the NasdaqStock Market or a national exchange.***  Our securities are currently quoted on theOTC Bulletin Board, an NASD-sponsored and operated inter-dealer automatedquotation system for equity securities not included in the Nasdaq Stock Market.Quotation of our securities on the OTC Bulletin Board may limit the liquidityand price of our securities more than if our securities were quoted or listedon The Nasdaq Stock Market or a national exchange. Some investors may perceiveour securities to be less attractive because they are traded in theover-the-counter market. In addition, as an OTC Bulletin Board listed company,we do not attract the extensive analyst coverage that accompanies companieslisted on Nasdaq or any other regional or national exchange. Further,institutional and other investors may have investment guidelines that restrictor prohibit investing in securities traded in the over-the-counter market.These factors may have an adverse impact on the trading and price of oursecurities.

 

**Our common stock is subject to “penny stock”regulations and restrictions on initial and secondary broker-dealer sales.**  The Securities and Exchange 

 

27

----

 

Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock”to be any listed, trading equity security that has a market price less than$5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject tocertain exemptions. Penny stocks are subject to certain additional oversightand regulatory requirements. Brokers and dealers affecting transactions in ourcommon stock in many circumstances must obtain the written consent of acustomer prior to purchasing our common stock, must obtain information from thecustomer and must provide disclosures to the customer. These requirements mayrestrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affectyour ability to sell your shares of our common stock in the secondary market.

 

## **ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

## ** **

(a) *Evaluationof disclosure controls and procedures.*  The Company’s management, with the participation of ourprincipal executive officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosurecontrols and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ExchangeAct”)), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB.Based on such evaluation, due to the material weaknesses in our internalcontrols over financial reporting further described below, our principalexecutive officer has concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures werenot effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to bedisclosed by us in the reports we file or submitted by us under the ExchangeAct is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periodsspecified in the SEC’s rules and forms. The Company has implemented, and is in the process of implementing, newdisclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act isrecorded, processed, summarized and reported with the time periods specified inapplicable SEC rules and forms are effective.

 

(b) *Changes in internal controls*.  The Company’s management is responsiblefor establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financialreporting.  Our internal control systemis intended to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management andboard of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of publishedfinancial statements.  The Company’smanagement assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control overfinancial reporting as of September 30, 2005. In making its assessment ofinternal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria setforth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission(COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.

 

Management’s assessment identified materialdeficiencies in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  These deficiencies include lack ofsegregation of duties, limited capability to interpret and apply United Statesgenerally accepted accounting principles, lack of adequate documentation of oursystem of internal controls, lack of formal accounting policy and proceduresand related documentation, deficiencies in our information technology systemsand lack of a formal budgeting process. We also have not yet instituted newinternal control processes related to our identified material weaknesses,significant deficiencies and deficiencies, as has been characteristic ofcompanies that have completed their review of internal controls and have had toreport on the effect or such review. Accordingly, our internal control overfinancial reporting may be subject to additional material weaknesses anddeficiencies that we have not identified. Management has determined that these significant deficiencies, in theaggregate, constituted a material weakness in the design and operation of theCompany’s internal controls in effect prior to September 30, 2005. TheCompany hired a chief financial officer on April 1, 2005, and the Companyis in the process of implementing new controls; however, these controls werenot fully in operation during the quarter ended September 30, 2005.  As a result of the material weaknessesdescribed in the preceding paragraph, we believe that, as of September 30,2005, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effectivebased on the COSO criteria.

## **ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIESAND USE OF PROCEEDS**

 

The disclosure set forth below describes ourunregistered sales of equity securities for the period July 1, 2005through September 30, 2005.  Theissuances of the equity securities described below were made in reliance uponthe exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the SecuritiesAct of 1933, as amended, relating to sales by an issuer not involving a publicoffering, and/or pursuant to the requirements of one or more of the safeharbors provided in Regulation D under the Securities Act or, in the caseof equity compensation to employees, directors and eligible consultants, Rule 701therewith.

 

On September 18, 2005, we issued 20,000shares of common stock to Torkildson Katz Fonseca Moore & Hetheringtonin settlement of accounts payable for services provided to the company on apre-merger basis.

 

On September 16, 2005, we issued 175,000shares of common stock to Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw & Pittman insettlement of accounts payable for services provided to the company on apre-merger basis.

 

On September 15, 2005, we entered into asecurities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors for theissuance of an aggregate of $22,276,250 principal amount convertible debentureswith an original issue discount of 20.3187%. In connection with the closing ofthe sale of convertible debentures, we received gross proceeds of $17,750,000.The convertible debentures are due and payable three years from the date ofissuance, unless sooner converted into shares of our common stock. Theconversion price of the debentures is $2.30, subject to anti-dilution and othercustomary adjustments. In connection with the securities purchase agreement, wealso issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,842,663 shares of our commonstock. The term of the warrants is five years and the exercise price is $2.53per share, subject to anti-dilution and other customary adjustments.  The debentures contain covenants that willlimit the ability of the Company to, among other things: incur or guaranteeadditional indebtedness; incur or create liens; amend its certificate of incorporation,bylaws or other charter documents so as to adversely affect any rights of theholders of the debentures; and repay or repurchase more than a de minimisnumber of shares of common stock other than as permitted in the debentures andother documents executed in connection with the issuance of the debentures. Thedebentures include customary default provisions and an event of defaultincludes, among other things, a change of control of the Company, the sale ofall or substantially all of the Company’s assets, the failure to have theregistration statement declared effective on or before the 180th day after theinitial closing date, and the lapse of the effectiveness of the registrationstatement for more than 30 consecutive trading days or 60 non-consecutive daysduring any 12-month period (with certain exceptions), the failure of theCompany to timely deliver certificates to holders upon conversion and a defaultby the Company in any obligations under any indebtedness of at least $150,000which results in such indebtedness being accelerated.
