NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As of August 31, 2011, the Company has operating and liquidity concerns and, as a result of recurring losses, has incurred an accumulated deficit of $40,795,387.  The Company will have to raise additional capital in order to initiate Phase IIb/III clinical trials for MCT-125, the Company’s therapeutic for the treatment of fatigue in multiple sclerosis patients. Management is evaluating several sources of financing for its clinical trial program.  Additionally, with its strategic shift in focus to therapeutic programs and technologies, management expects the Company’s future cash requirements to increase significantly as it advances the Company’s therapeutic programs into clinical trials.  Until the Company is successful in raising additional funds, it may have to prioritize its therapeutic programs and delays may be necessary in some of the Company’s development programs.

Since March 2008, the Company has operated on working capital provided by La Jolla Cove Investors (LJCI). As further described in Note 4 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, under terms of the agreement, LJCI can convert a portion of the convertible debenture by simultaneously exercising a warrant at $1.09 per share. As of August 31, 2011, there are 6,605,629 shares remaining on the stock purchase warrant and a balance of $66,056 remaining on the convertible debenture. Should LJCI continue to exercise all of its remaining warrants, approximately $7.2 million of cash would be provided to the Company. The agreement limits LJCI’s investment to an aggregate ownership that does not exceed 9.9% of the outstanding shares of the Company. The Company expects that LJCI will continue to exercise the warrants and convert the debenture through February 28, 2014, the date that the debenture is due and the warrants expire, subject to the limitations of the agreement and the availability of authorized common stock of the Company.

These factors, among others, create an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  There can be no assurance that LJCI will continue to exercise its warrant to purchase the Company’s common stock, or that the Company will be able to successfully acquire the necessary capital to continue its on-going research efforts and bring its products to the commercial market.  Management’s plans to acquire future funding include the potential sale of common and/or preferred stock, the sale of warrants, and continued sales of our proprietary media, immortalized cells and primary cells to the pharmaceutical industry.  Additionally, the Company continues to pursue research projects, government grants and capital investment.  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
