Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Outlook and Plan of Operations:
- Clinical Trials: Currently conducting a 15-month clinical trial for the ED treatment ("Caverstem") at UCLA with approximately 40 subjects. Completion is expected in Q3 2017.
- Marketing: Plans to market treatment kits to physicians if trials are successful. Marketing staff establishment is planned for Q1 2017.
- Funding Needs: Management estimates approximately $600,000 is required to complete clinical trials. Current cash resources are insufficient to fund operations beyond a few months. Additional financing is critical.
- Capital Shortage: Failure to secure additional financing could force the company to curtail operations, default on debt, or file for bankruptcy.
- Clinical Failure: The business depends entirely on the success of the ED clinical trial. Negative or inconclusive results would prevent commercialization.
- Regulatory Uncertainty: While management believes an FDA exemption applies to the autologous stem cell procedure, regulatory changes could require full approval.
- Liquidity Restrictions: As a former shell company, shares are subject to Rule 144 restrictions, preventing resale for 12 months following this filing.
- Related Party Transactions: Significant reliance on the parent company (Creative Medical Health) for funding, office space (at no cost), and executive services (reimbursed at a flat monthly rate).
Investor Verification Checklist
- Cash Runway: Verify the exact current cash balance and the timeline for the next funding round, given the stated need for $600,000 to complete trials.
- Clinical Trial Status: Confirm the enrollment status and preliminary data of the 40-subject ED trial at UCLA.
- Related Party Dependence: Review the terms of the $50,000 line of credit and the monthly reimbursement agreements with Creative Medical Health to assess financial independence.
- Intellectual Property: Verify the assignment of the ED Patent (US 8,372,797) and the status of the infertility license with LABIOMED.
- Stock Liquidity: Confirm the 12-month holding period restriction under Rule 144 for former shell company securities.
