Explanatory Note:
On June 19, 2009, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Champions Biotechnology,
Inc. (Champions, the Company, or as used in the context of we, us or our) concluded that
our financial statements as of April 30, 2008 and for the year then ended would need to be restated
and should no longer be relied upon.
This Amendment No. 1 (the Form 10-KSB/A) to our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended April 30, 2008 (the Original 2008 Form 10-KSB) is being filed to restate our
consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008.
Background:
The Company has restated its consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2008 and for
the year then ended.
This restatement arose when the Company identified an error in its accounting for stock-based
compensation related to stock options issued to non-employees for consulting services. Previously,
the Company recognized a contra equity account called
prepaid consulting for the fair value of the
unvested stock based compensation awards. This prepaid consulting balance was amortized to
compensation expense over the options vesting term. Additionally, when certain non-employees were
hired as permanent employees, no modification to the accounting for their previously issued stock
based compensation award was considered. Finally, the Company considered the grant date to be the
measurement date for options awards issued to non-employees when no performance commitment existed.
Upon further review and analysis of the relevant accounting literature related to stock-based
compensation, we determined the balance sheet should not present the
fair value of the unvested portion of
awards issued to non-employees as the awards were not fully vested when granted. Additionally, as
no performance commitment existed as of the grant date, the measurement date related to
non-employee stock option grants should have been measured at the date the non-employees
performance was completed, or over the respective options vesting term. Lastly, when
non-employees, who had previously received stock options, were hired as permanent employees, the
unvested compensation should have been recognized as stock based compensation expense ratably over
the remaining vesting period on a prospective basis.
Note 2 to our restated consolidated financial statements describes the nature of the
restatement adjustments and details the impact of the restatement on our consolidated financial
statements as of April 30, 2008 and for the year then ended.
The
following table sets forth the effects of the restatement on selected line items within
our previously reported consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended April 30,
2008. The following table provides only a summary of the effects of
the restatement, does not
include all line items that were impacted by the restatement and should be read in conjunction with
the restated consolidated financial statements contained in Item 8 of this amended report.

In connection with the restatement, management has assessed the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures and has included revised disclosure in this Form 10-KSB/A under
Item 9A(T) of Part II, Controls and Procedures. Management identified a material weakness in our
internal control over financial reporting with respect to our interpretation and application of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No, 123(R), Share Based Payment, (SFAS 123R) and EITF
98-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or
in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, (EITF 96-18) as they apply to the calculation of
stock based compensation. As a result of this material weakness, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting and our
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of April
30, 2008 and as of the date of this filing. As of the filing date of this Form 10-KSB/A, we have
implemented accounting practices that management believes complies with requirements of SFAS 123R
and EITF 96-18. Management has taken and is taking steps, as described under Item 9A(T) of Part II
to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
Because this Form 10-KSB/A sets forth the Original 2008 Form 10-KSB in its entirety, it
includes items that have been changed as a result of the restatement and items that are unchanged
from the original filing. Other than the amending of the disclosures relating to the restatement,
the Form 10-KSB/A speaks as of the original filing date of the Original 2008 Form 10-KSB and has
not been updated to reflect other events occurring subsequent to the original filing date. This
includes forward-looking statements impacted by the restatement, which should be read in their
historical context.
The following items in this Form 10-KSB/A have been amended as a result of the restatement:
Part I-Item
1. Business
Part I-Item 1A. Risk
Factors
Part II-Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Part II-Item 8. Financial Statements.
Part II-Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures.
Note that this Form 10-KSB/A is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC) on Form 10-K because the SEC has discontinued use of Form 10-KSB since the filing date of
the Original 2008 Form 10-KSB. Accordingly, certain item numbers and headings herein do no match
those set forth in the Original 2008 Form 10-KSB. For example, Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations was Item 6 in the Original 2008 Form
10-KSB but is Item 7 in this Form 10-KSB/A.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(Exchanges Act) that inherently involve risk and uncertainties. The Company generally uses words
such as believe, may, could, will, intend, estimate, expect, anticipate, plan,
likely, promise and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. One should not
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The Companys actual results could
differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many unforeseen
factors, which may include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic conditions, the
ongoing threat of terrorism, ability to have access to financing sources on reasonable terms and
other risks that are described in this document. Although the Company believes the expectations
reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, they relate only to events as of the
date on which the statements are made, and the Companys future results, levels of activity,
performance or achievements may not meet these expectations. The Company does not intend to update
any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this document to conform these statements
to actual results or to changes in the Companys expectations, except as required by law.
Item 1.
Business.
Development of Business
Champions Biotechnology, Inc. was incorporated as a merger and acquisition company under the
laws of the State of Delaware on June 4, 1985 under the name International Group, Inc. In
September 1985 the Company completed a public offering and shortly thereafter acquired the
world-wide rights to the Champions sports theme restaurant concept and changed its name to
Champions Sports, Inc. In 1997, the Company sold its Champions service mark and concept to
Marriott International, Inc. and until 2005, was a consultant to Marriott International, Inc. and
operated one Champions Sports Bar Restaurant. In January 2007, the Company changed its business
direction to focus on biotechnology and subsequently changed its name to Champions Biotechnology,
Inc. In February 2007 the Company acquired the patent rights to two Benzoylphenylurea (BPU) sulfur
analog compounds. On May 18, 2007, the Company acquired Biomerk, Inc. from Dr. David Sidransky and
issued 4,000,000 restricted shares of its common stock in the merger. On April 30, 2008, the
Company issued 1,428,572 restricted shares of the Companys common stock at $1.75 per share
pursuant to the terms of a private investment financing.
Current Business
The Company is engaged in the development of advanced preclinical platforms and predictive
tumor specific data to enhance and accelerate the value of oncology drugs. The Companys
Preclinical Platform is a novel approach based upon the implantation of primary human tumors in
immune deficient mice followed by propagation of the resulting xenografts (Biomerk Tumorgrafts) in
a manner that preserves the biological characteristics of the original human tumor. The Company
believes that Biomerk Tumorgrafts closely reflect human cancer biology and their response to drugs
is more predictive of clinical outcomes in cancer patients. The Company is building its Biomerk
Tumorgraft platform through the procurement, development and characterization of numerous
Tumorgrafts within each of several cancer types. Tumorgrafts are procured through agreements with
institutions in the United States and Europe and developed and tested through agreement with a U.S.
based preclinical facility.
5
We intend to leverage our preclinical platform to evaluate oncology drug candidates and to
develop a portfolio of novel drug candidates through pre-clinical trials. As drugs progress
through this early stage of development, the Company plans to sell, partner or license them to
pharmaceutical and/or biotechnology companies, as appropriate. We believe this strategy will
enable the Company to leverage the competencies of these partners or licensees to maximize the
Companys return on investment in a time frame that is shorter than for traditional drug
development. The Company believes that this model is unlike that of many new biotechnology
companies that look to bring the process of drug development through all phases of discovery,
development, regulatory approvals, and marketing, which requires a very large financial commitment
and a long development period, typically more than a decade, to commercialize. Thus far we have
acquired two oncology drug candidates and we have begun preclinical development of the most
promising candidate, SG410, through the use of contract facilities. We have secured preclinical
supply of SG410 and it is our intention to develop a soluble form of the compound and evaluate its
efficacy in Biomerk Tumorgrafts from several cancer types. If results are promising it is our
intention to continue preclinical development and then sell, partner or license SG410 for its
remaining clinical development.
The Company also offers its Biomerk Tumorgraft predictive preclinical platform and tumor
specific data to physicians to provide information that may enhance personalized patient care
options and to companies for evaluation of oncology drugs in a platform that integrates predictive
testing with biomarker discovery. We provide Personalized Oncology services to physicians in the
field of oncology by establishing and administering expert medical information panels for their
patients to analyze medical records and test results, to assist in understanding conventional and
research options and to identify and arrange for testing, analysis and study of cancer tissues, as
appropriate. In FY08 the Company generated all its revenue from its growing Personalized Oncology
services while we continued development of our Biomerk Tumorgraft platform.
In late FY08, as we expanded our number of Biomerk Tumorgraft models, we began to offer
leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies the benefits of our Biomerk Tumorgrafts for
their preclinical evaluation programs. We provide Preclinical eValuation services that we believe
are more predictive of clinical outcomes and that might provide for a faster and less expensive
path for drug approval. These services utilize Biomerk Tumorgrafts to evaluate tumor
sensitivity/resistance to various single and combination standard and novel chemotherapy agents.
The Preclinical eValuation services we offer also include biomarker discovery and the
identification of novel drug combinations. In the fourth quarter of FY08 the Company established
an agreement with ImClone Systems Incorporated for the preclinical evaluation of certain
therapeutic antibodies in ImClones clinical development pipeline. As part of the agreement,
ImClone will utilize our Biomerk Tumorgrafts in the initial preclinical evaluation. We are
currently providing services or in discussions to provide services to a number of other companies.
Operations
The Company generated operating revenue of $1,399,940 solely from its Personalized Oncology
services during the year ended April 30, 2008.
Competition
Competition in the biotechnology industry is intense and based significantly on scientific,
technological and market forces. These factors include the availability of patent and other
protection for technology and products, the ability to commercialize technological developments and
the ability to obtain government approval for testing, manufacturing and marketing. The Company
faces significant competition from other biotechnology companies. The majority of these competitors
are and will be will be substantially larger than the Company, and have substantially greater
resources and operating histories. There can be no assurance that developments by other companies
will not render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive or that we will be able to
keep pace with the technological or product developments of our competitors. These companies, as
well as academic institutions, governmental agencies and private research organizations also
compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualified scientific, technical and professional
personnel and consultants.
6
Our preclinical platform is proprietary and requires significant know-how to both initiate and
operate but is not patented. It is, therefore, possible for competitors to develop other
implantation procedures or to discover the same procedures utilized by the Company that could
compete with the Company in its market.
Patent Applications
It is the Companys intention to protect its proprietary property through the filing of U.S.
and international patent applications, both broad and specific, where necessary and reasonable. In
February 2007, the Company acquired the patent rights to two Benzoylphenylurea (BPU) sulfur analog
compounds that have shown promising potent activity against in vitro and in vivo models of prostate
and pancreatic cancer. The acquired rights include pending U.S. Patent Application no. 11/673,519
and corresponding international patent application (PCT/US2006/014449) filed under the Patent
Cooperation Treaty (PCT), both entitled Design and Synthesis of Novel Tubulin Polymerization
Inhibitors: Benzoylphenylurea (BPU) Sulfur Analogs.
Research and Development
In the past fiscal year, the Company spent $199,743 on research and development to develop our
preclinical platform.
Government Regulation
The research, development, and marketing of the Companys products are subject to federal,
state, local, or foreign legislation or regulation, including the interpretation of and compliance
with existing, proposed, and future regulatory requirements imposed by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) in the United States and by comparable authorities in other countries. The
costs of bringing new drugs through the regulatory approval process and to the market are extremely
high, and the Company plans to sell, partner or license its drug candidates to pharmaceutical
and/or biotechnology companies, as appropriate prior to pursuing the FDA approval necessary to
commercially market its drug products.
Employees
As of April 30, 2008, the Company had four employees.
Item 1A.
Risk Factors.
You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other
information included in this report. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only
ones we face. Additional risks not presently known or that we currently consider insignificant may
also impair our business operations in the future. An investment in our common stock is very risky.
If any of the following risks materialize, our business, financial condition or results of
operations could be adversely affected. In such an event, the trading price of our common stock
could decline, and you may lose part or all of your investment.
We historically have lost money, expect losses for the foreseeable future, require significant
capital and may never achieve profitability.
We historically have lost money. In the year ended April 30, 2008, we had a net loss of
$410,831 and in the year ended April 30, 2007, we sustained a net loss of $170,058. At April 30,
2008, we had an accumulated deficit of $7,515,076.
7
The amount of these losses may vary significantly from year-to-year and quarter-to-quarter and
will depend on, among other factors:
|
|
|
the timing and cost of development for our preclinical platform, products and
technology; |
|
|
|
the progress and cost of preclinical and possibly early phase clinical development
programs; |
|
|
|
the cost and rate of progress toward growing our revenue generating service businesses; |
|
|
|
the cost of securing and defending intellectual property; |
|
|
|
the timing and cost of obtaining necessary regulatory approvals; and |
|
|
|
the costs of any future litigation of which we may be subject. |
Through April 30, 2008 we had limited operations. We intend to engage in product development,
a process that requires significant capital expenditures, and we have limited sources of revenue to
off-set such expenditures. Accordingly, we expect to generate operating losses in the future until
such time as we are able to generate more significant revenues.
To become profitable, we will need to generate revenues to off-set our operating costs,
including our general and administrative expenses. We may not achieve or, if achieved, sustain our
revenue or profit objectives, and our losses may increase in the future, and, ultimately, we may
have to cease operations.
In order to grow revenues, we must invest capital to successfully develop our products. Our
products may never achieve market acceptance and we may never generate significant revenues or
achieve profitability. If we must devote a substantial amount of time to raising capital, it will
delay our ability to achieve our business goals within the time frames that we now expect, which
could increase the amount of capital we need. In addition, the amount of time expended by our
management on fund raising distracts them from concentrating on our business affairs.
Our lack of operating history in the biotechnology industry makes it difficult to evaluate or
predict our future business prospects.
We have little operating history in the biotechnology industry, and our operating results are
not possible to predict at this time. We are developing our business and our operations are subject
to all of the risks inherent in establishing a new business enterprise, including:
|
|
|
expected substantial and continual losses for the foreseeable future; |
|
|
|
limited experience in regulatory issues; |
|
|
|
an expected reliance on third parties for the commercialization of some proposed products; |
|
|
|
a competitive environment characterized by numerous, well-established and
well-capitalized competitors; |
|
|
|
uncertain market acceptance of our products; and |
|
|
|
reliance on key personnel. |
The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses,
difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the formation of
a new business, the development of new technology, and the competitive and regulatory environment
in which we will operate.
Because we are subject to these risks, you may have a difficult time evaluating our business
and your investment in our company.
8
Our initial proposed drug products are in the early development stages and will likely not be
commercially introduced for many years, if at all.
Our proposed initial drug products still are in the early development stage and will require
further development, preclinical and early phase clinical testing and investment prior to our
effort to sell, license or partner with pharmaceutical and/or biotechnology companies, as
appropriate. Such partnership, divestiture or license agreement may have contingencies for their
possible commercialization in the United States and abroad. We cannot be sure that these products
in development will:
|
|
|
be successfully developed; |
|
|
|
prove to be safe and efficacious in preclinical or clinical trials; |
|
|
|
meet applicable regulatory standards or obtain required regulatory approvals; |
|
|
|
demonstrate substantial protective or therapeutic benefits in the prevention or
treatment of any disease; |
|
|
|
be capable of being formulated and/or produced in clinical or commercial
quantities at reasonable costs; |
|
|
|
obtain coverage and favorable reimbursement rates from insurers and other
third-party payors; or |
|
|
|
be successfully marketed or achieve market acceptance by physicians and patients. |
We have very limited staffing and will continue to be dependent upon key employees.
Our success, currently, is dependent upon the efforts of four employees, the loss of the
services of which would have a material adverse affect on our business and financial condition. We
will continue to develop our management team and attract and retain qualified personnel in all
functional areas to expand and grow our business. This may be difficult in the biotechnology
industry where competition for skilled personnel is intense.
Because our industry is very competitive and many of our competitors have substantially greater
capital resources and more experience in research and development than us, we may not succeed in
developing our products and technologies and having them brought to market.
Competition in the pharmaceutical industry is intense. Potential competitors in the United
States and abroad are numerous and include pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, most of
which have substantially greater capital resources and more experience in research and development
than us. Academic institutions, hospitals, governmental agencies and other public and private
research organizations are also conducting research and seeking patent protection and may develop
and commercially introduce competing products or technologies on their own or through joint
ventures. We cannot assure you that our competitors will not succeed in developing similar
technologies and products more rapidly than we do, commercially introducing such technologies and
products to the marketplace prior to introduction of our products, or that these competing
technologies and products will not be more effective or successful than any of those that we
currently are developing or will develop.
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, we may not be able to compete as
effectively.
The biotechnology industry places considerable importance on obtaining patent and trade secret
protection for new technologies, products and processes. Our success will depend, in part, upon our
ability to obtain, enjoy and enforce protection for any products we develop or acquire under United
States and foreign patent laws and other intellectual property laws, preserve the confidentiality
of our trade secrets and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties.
9
Where appropriate, we will seek patent protection for certain aspects of our technology.
However, our owned and licensed patents and patent applications may not ensure the protection of
our intellectual property for a number of other reasons:
Our preclinical platform is proprietary and requires significant know-how to both initiate and
operate but is not patented. It is, therefore, possible for competitors to develop other
implantation procedures or to discover the same procedures utilized by the Company that could
compete with the Company in its market.
Competitors may interfere with our patents and patent process in a variety of ways. Competitors
may claim that they invented the claimed invention before us or may claim that we are infringing on
their patents and therefore we cannot use our technology as claimed under our patent. Competitors
may also have our patents reexamined by showing the patent examiner that the invention was not
original or novel or was obvious.
We are in the process of developing proposed products and technologies. The mere receipt of a
patent does not necessarily provide much practical protection. If we receive a patent with a narrow
scope, then it will be easier for competitors to design products that do not infringe on our
patent. Even if the development of our proposed products is successful and approval for sale is
obtained, there can be no assurance that applicable patent coverage, if any, will not have expired
or will not expire shortly after this approval. Any expiration of the applicable patent could have
a material adverse effect on the sales and profitability of our proposed product.
Enforcing patents is expensive and may require significant time by our management. In litigation,
a competitor could claim that our issued patents are not valid for a number of reasons. If the
court agrees, we would lose protection on products covered by those patents.
We also may support and collaborate in research conducted by government organizations or
universities. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to acquire any exclusive rights to
technology or products derived from these collaborations. If we do not obtain required licenses or
rights, we could encounter delays in product development while we attempt to design around other
patents or we may be prohibited from developing, manufacturing or selling products requiring these
licenses. There is also a risk that disputes may arise as to the rights to technology or products
developed in collaboration with other parties.
It also is unclear whether efforts to secure our trade secrets will provide useful protection.
While we will use reasonable efforts to protect our trade secrets, our employees or consultants may
unintentionally or willfully disclose our proprietary information to competitors resulting in a
loss of protection. Enforcing a claim that someone else illegally obtained and is using our trade
secrets, like patent litigation, is expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable.
In addition, courts outside the United States are sometimes less willing to protect trade secrets.
Finally, our competitors may independently develop equivalent knowledge, methods and know-how.
10
Claims by others that our products infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights
could adversely affect our financial condition.
The biotechnology industry has been characterized by frequent litigation regarding patent and
other intellectual property rights. Patent applications are maintained in secrecy in the United
States and also are maintained in secrecy outside the United States until the application is
published. Accordingly, we can conduct only limited searches to determine whether our technology
infringes the patents or patent applications of others. Any claims of patent infringement asserted
by third parties would be time-consuming and could likely:
|
|
|
result in costly litigation; |
|
|
|
divert the time and attention of our technical personnel and management; |
|
|
|
cause product development delays; |
|
|
|
require us to develop non-infringing technology; or |
|
|
|
require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. |
Although patent and intellectual property disputes in the biotechnology industry have often
been settled through licensing or similar arrangements, costs associated with these arrangements
may be substantial and often require the payment of ongoing royalties, which could hurt our gross
margins. In addition, we cannot be sure that the necessary licenses would be available to us on
satisfactory terms, or that we could redesign our products or processes to avoid infringement, if
necessary. Accordingly, an adverse determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding, or the
failure to obtain necessary licenses, could prevent us from developing, manufacturing and selling
some of our products, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.
If any of our products that we license or partner with pharmaceutical and/or biotechnology
companies fail to obtain regulatory approval or if approval is delayed or withdrawn, we may be
unable to generate revenue from the sale or license of our products.
Our products are subject to federal, state, local, or foreign legislation or regulation,
including the interpretation of and compliance with existing, proposed, and future regulatory
requirements imposed by the FDA in the United States and by comparable authorities in other
countries. In the United States, approval of the FDA has to be obtained for each drug to be
commercialized. The FDA approval process is typically lengthy and expensive, and approval is never
certain. Products to be commercialized abroad are subject to similar foreign government regulation.
Generally, only a very small percentage of newly discovered pharmaceutical products that enter
preclinical development are approved for sale. Because of the risks and uncertainties in
biopharmaceutical development, our proposed drug products could take a significantly longer time to
gain regulatory approval than we expect or may never gain approval. If regulatory approval is
delayed or never obtained, our managements credibility, the value of our company and our operating
results and liquidity might be adversely affected. Furthermore, even if a product gains regulatory
approval, the product and the manufacturer of the product may be subject to continuing regulatory
review. Even after obtaining regulatory approval, such approval may entail limitations on the
indicated uses for which the product may be marketed. Moreover, a marketed product, its
manufacturer, its manufacturing facilities, and its suppliers are subject to continual review and
periodic inspections. Discovery of previously unknown problems, or the exacerbation of problems
previously deemed acceptable, with the product, manufacturer, or facility may result in
restrictions on such product or manufacturer, potentially including withdrawal of the product from
the market.
11
Even if our proposed products receive FDA approval, they may not achieve expected levels of market
acceptance, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and
operating results and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
Even if our proposed products obtain required regulatory approvals, the success of those
products is dependent upon market acceptance by physicians and patients. Levels of market
acceptance for our new products could be impacted by several factors, including:
|
|
|
the availability of alternative products from competitors; |
|
|
|
the price of our products relative to that of our competitors; |
|
|
|
the timing of our market entry; and |
|
|
|
the ability to market our products effectively. |
Some of these factors are not within our control. Our proposed products may not achieve
expected levels of market acceptance. Additionally, continuing studies of the proper utilization,
safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products are being conducted by the industry, government
agencies and others. Such studies, which increasingly employ sophisticated methods and techniques,
can call into question the utilization, safety and efficacy of previously marketed products. In
some cases, these studies have resulted, and may in the future result, in the discontinuance of
product marketing. These situations, should they occur, could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial position and results of operations, and the market value of our common stock
could decline.
Because the biotechnology industry is heavily regulated, we face significant costs and
uncertainties associated with our efforts to comply with applicable regulations. Should we fail to
comply, we could experience material adverse effects on our business, financial position and
results of operations, and the market value of our common stock could decline.
The biotechnology industry is subject to regulation by various federal and state governmental
authorities. For example, we must comply with FDA requirements with respect to the development of
our proposed products and our early clinical trials, and if any of our proposed products are
approved, the manufacture, labeling, sale, distribution, marketing, advertising and promotion of
our products. Failure to comply with FDA and other governmental regulations can result in fines,
disgorgement, unanticipated compliance expenditures, recall or seizure of products, total or
partial suspension of production and/or distribution, suspension of the FDAs review of New Drug
Applications (NDAs), enforcement actions, injunctions and criminal prosecution. Under certain
circumstances, the FDA also has the authority to revoke previously granted drug approvals. Despite
our efforts at compliance, there is no guarantee that we may not be deemed to be deficient in some
manner in the future. If we were deemed to be deficient in any significant way, our business,
financial position and results of operations could be materially affected and the market value of
our common stock could decline.
Your investment in our common stock may be diluted if we issue additional shares in the future.
We may issue additional shares of common stock, which would reduce your percentage ownership
and may dilute your share value. Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of
50,000,000 shares of common stock. As of July 14, 2008, we had 33,272,718 shares of common stock
issued and outstanding. The future issuance of all or part of the remaining authorized common
stock would result in substantial dilution in the percentage of the common stock held by existing
shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The
issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have
the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by existing shareholders, and might have an
adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.
12
There is a limited trading market for our common stock, which may make it difficult for you to sell
your shares.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Like many stocks quoted on the OTC
Bulletin Board, trading in our common stock is thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in
trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business
prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated
to operating performance. Moreover, trading on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic and
volatile than the trading on security exchanges like NASDAQ, American Stock Exchange or New York
Stock Exchange. Accordingly, you may have difficulty reselling your shares of our common stock in
short time periods.
Our common stock may be deemed a penny stock, which would make it more difficult for you to sell
your shares.
Our common stock may be subject to the penny stock rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). The penny stock rules apply to
companies whose common stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or another national
securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less
than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules
require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than established
customers complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide
investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure
document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade
penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of
broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If we remain subject
to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market,
if any, for our common stock. If our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, you will
find it more difficult to dispose of the shares of our common stock that you have purchased.
Material weakness or deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting could harm
stockholder and business confidence in our financial reporting, our ability to obtain capital, and
other aspects of our business.
Our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosures
controls and procedures as of the year ended April 30, 2008 and concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective as of those dates, because of material weakness in our
internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or
combination of control deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that material
misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
During the 2008 audit, our independent registered public accounting firm identified a material
weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness consisted
primarily of inadequate staffing and supervision that could lead to the untimely identification and
resolution of accounting and disclosure matters and failure to perform timely and effective
reviews.
On
June 26, 2009 the Company filed a Form 8-K disclosing the fact
that it identified a material weakness in its accounting for
stock based compensation with respect to its application of
SFAS 123 and that its April 30,
2008 Form 10-KSB included financials that could no longer be relied on.
As a result of this restatement and material weaknesses, customers, stockholders and other
potential investors could lose confidence in our financial reporting which could adversely impact
the availability and cost of capital as well as other aspects of our business.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Restatement
The Company has restated its consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2008 and for
the year then ended.
This restatement arose when the Company identified an error in its accounting for stock-based
compensation related to stock options issued to non-employees for consulting services. Previously,
the Company recognized a contra equity account called
prepaid consulting for the fair value of the
unvested stock based compensation awards. This prepaid consulting balance was amortized to
compensation expense over the options vesting term. Additionally, when certain non-employees were
hired as permanent employees, no modification to the accounting for their previously issued stock
based compensation award was considered. Finally, the Company considered the grant date to be the
measurement date for options awards issued to non-employees when no performance commitment existed.
Upon further review and analysis of the relevant accounting literature related to stock-based
compensation, we determined the balance sheet should not present the
fair value of the unvested portion of
awards issued to non-employees as the awards were not fully vested when granted. Additionally, as
no performance commitment existed as of the grant date, the measurement date related to
non-employee stock option grants should have been measured at the date the non-employees
performance was completed, or over the respective options vesting term. Lastly, when
non-employees, who had previously received stock options, were hired as permanent employees, the
unvested compensation should have been recognized as stock based compensation expense ratably over
the remaining vesting period on a prospective basis.
Note 2 to our restated consolidated financial statements describes the nature of the
restatement adjustments and details the impact of the restatement on our consolidated financial
statements as of April 30, 2008 and the year then ended.

Overview
In January 2007 the Company changed its business direction to focus on biotechnology and
changed its name to Champions Biotechnology, Inc. The Company is engaged in the development of
advanced preclinical platforms and predictive tumor specific data to enhance and accelerate the
value of oncology drugs. The Companys Preclinical Platform is a novel approach based upon the
implantation of primary human tumors in immune deficient mice followed by propagation of the
resulting xenografts (Biomerk Tumorgrafts) in a manner that preserves the biological
characteristics of the original human tumor. The Company believes that Biomerk Tumorgrafts closely
reflect human cancer biology and their response to drugs is more predictive of clinical outcomes in
cancer patients. The Company is building its Biomerk Tumorgraft platform through the procurement,
development and characterization of numerous Tumorgrafts within each of several cancer types.
Tumorgrafts are procured through agreements with institutions in the United States and Europe and
developed and tested through agreement with a U.S. based preclinical facility.
We intend to leverage our preclinical platform to evaluate oncology drug candidates and to
develop a portfolio of novel drug candidates through pre-clinical trials. As drugs progress
through this early stage of development, the Company plans to sell, partner or license them to
pharmaceutical and/or biotechnology companies, as appropriate. We believe this strategy will
enable the Company to leverage the competencies of these partners or licensees to maximize the
Companys return on investment in a relatively short time frame. The Company believes that this
model is unlike that of many new biotechnology companies that look to bring the process of drug
development through all phases of discovery, development, regulatory approvals, and marketing,
which requires a very large financial commitment and a long development period, typically more than
a decade, to commercialize. Thus far we have acquired two oncology drug candidates and we have
begun preclinical development of the most promising candidate, SG410, through the use of contract
facilities. We have secured preclinical supply of SG410 and it is our intention to develop a
soluble form of the compound and evaluate its efficacy in Biomerk Tumorgrafts from several cancer
types. If results are promising it is our intention to continue preclinical development and then
sell, partner or license SG410 for its remaining clinical development.
The Company also offers its Biomerk Tumorgraft predictive preclinical platform and tumor
specific data to physicians to provide information that may enhance personalized patient care
options and to companies for evaluation of oncology drugs in a platform that integrates predictive
testing with biomarker discovery. We provide Personalized Oncology services to physicians in the
field of oncology by establishing and administering expert medical information panels for their
patients to analyze medical records and test results, to assist in understanding conventional and
research options and to identify and arrange for testing, analysis and study of cancer tissues, as
appropriate. In FY08 the Company generated all its revenue from its growing Personalized Oncology
services while we continued development of our Biomerk Tumorgraft platform. During the year ended
April 30, 2008, the Companys revenue was derived solely from Personalized Oncology services.
In late FY08, as we expanded our number of Biomerk Tumorgraft models, we began to offer
leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies the benefits of our Biomerk Tumorgrafts for
their preclinical evaluation programs. We provide Preclinical eValuation services that we believe
are more predictive of clinical outcomes and that might provide for a faster and less expensive
path for drug approval. These services utilize Biomerk Tumorgrafts to evaluate tumor
sensitivity/resistance to various single and combination standard and novel chemotherapy agents.
The Preclinical eValuation services we offer also includes biomarker discovery and the
identification of novel drug combinations. In the fourth quarter of FY08 the Company established
an agreement with ImClone Systems Incorporated for the preclinical evaluation of certain
therapeutic antibodies in ImClones clinical development pipeline. As part of the agreement,
ImClone will utilize our Biomerk Tumorgrafts in the initial preclinical evaluation. We are
currently providing services or in discussions to provide services to numerous other companies.
17
In the late fourth quarter of FY08, Champions Biotechnology, Inc. formed its first management
team. As a result, the Company is currently unable to provide business trends and projections.
Results of Operations for Fiscal Years 2008 and 2007
1. Operating Revenues
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, the Companys operating revenue was $1,399,940.
For fiscal year ended April 30, 2007, the operating revenue was
$0. The Company commenced its
operations in the biotechnology business in January 2007, and from 2005 until 2007 had no operating
revenues. As a result, the Company only had four months of meaningful operations in our fiscal
year ended April 30, 2007. The Company derived all of its revenue from its Personalized Oncology
services which assist physicians by providing information that may enhance personalized treatment
options for their cancer patients through access to expert medical information panels and tumor
specific data. Revenues are also derived from the Companys Preclinical eValuation services which
offers the benefits of its Preclinical Platform to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies using
Biomerk Tumorgraft studies which have been shown to be predictive of how drugs perform in clinical
settings. Expectations for growth in the future are from continued Personalized Oncology services
and expected increased use of our Preclinical eValuation services. The Companys revenue is
described as Personalized Oncology services in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
2. Operating Expenses
In FY 2008, the operating expenses for the Company were general and administrative expenses
of $1,839,883 compared to $170,058 in FY 2007. The increase of $1,669,825 was due to the additional
expenses associated with changing the business direction and beginning operations as a
biotechnology company. During FY 2007 the Company continued to incur expenses in the process
maintaining its efforts of establishing itself as a biotechnology company prior to earning any
revenue. As revenue was earned in FY 2008 and as revenue increases with increased development and
activity, expenses increased and are expected to increase in the future, commensurate with the
Companys increased levels of activity and growth.
3. Profits / Losses
For the reasons stated above, the Companys net loss applicable to common stockholders for
fiscal 2008 was $410,831, compared to a net loss of $170,058 for fiscal 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources for Fiscal Years 2008 and 2007
The Companys cash position on April 30, 2008, was $3,709,136 compared to $3,758 on April 30,
2007. In FY 2008, the net cash provided by operating activities was $792,404. In FY 2007, the net
cash used in operating activities was $78,475. The Companys working capital as of April 30, 2008
was $2,748,141 contrasted to a negative $441,065 on April 30, 2007. In FY 2008 the Company received
proceeds of $2,500,000 from private investment financing. In FY 2007 the Company converted $350,460
of dividends payable on preferred stock by issuing shares of common stock in exchange for
cancellation of outstanding preferred shares and waiver of all accrued and unpaid dividends on such
shares. In FY 2007, the Company received advances totaling $43,693 from its executive officer,
James Martell, to meet the Companys working capital needs. The Company also issued 2,500,000
restricted shares of common stock to Dr. Manuel Hidalgo for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000
and 7,000,000 restricted shares of common stock to Dr. David Sidransky for an aggregate purchase
price of $28,000 with all proceeds used for working capital.
18
In FY 2007 the Company acquired the patent rights to cancer drug candidates Benzoylphenylurea
(BPU) Sulfur Analogs. The purchase price for the patent rights consisted of an aggregate of up to
550,000 restricted shares of the Companys common stock, of which 300,000 restricted shares were
issued upon execution of the acquisition agreement and 250,000 restricted shares are issuable upon
the issuance of one of the patents based on U.S. Patent Application no. 11/673,519.
The Company has sufficient resources to provide for the next twelve months of operations based
on its current level of expenditure, its anticipated level of future expenditure and revenue growth
and its ability to curtail expenditures if needed.
Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition. The Company derives revenue from its Personalized Oncology
services which assist physicians by providing information that may enhance personalized treatment
options for their cancer patients through access to expert medical information panels and tumor
specific data. Revenues are also derived from the Companys Preclinical eValuation services which
offer the benefits of its Preclinical Platform to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies using
Biomerk Tumorgraft studies which have been shown to be predictive of how drugs perform in clinical
settings. The Companys revenue is described as Personalized Oncology services in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations.
Revenue is recognized in accordance with the SECs Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue
Recognition (SAB 104). SAB 104 requires that four basic criteria be met before revenue can be
recognized: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; 2) delivery has occurred or services
rendered; 3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and 4) collectability is reasonably assured. As to
1), our business practices require that our services be performed pursuant to contracts with our
customers. As to 2), we recognize revenue when services are rendered to our customers. As to 3),
the fee is determined and fixed at the time the contract is executed. As to 4), our business
practices require that fees for services be remit upon execution of the contract, either in full or
in contractual amounts based on managements judgments regarding the fixed nature of our
arrangements taking into account termination provisions and the collectability of fees under our
arrangements. Revenue is recognized when services are rendered.
Miscellaneous for Fiscal Years 2008 and 2007
Stockholders equity on April 30, 2008 was $3,637,515 compared to a deficit of $261,065 on
April 30, 2007. In FY 2008 and FY 2007, the Board of Directors voted to defer the annual meeting of
shareholders in order to preserve the Companys cash reserves.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
The
Report of Independent Accountants appears at page F-2 and the Consolidated Financial
Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements appear
at pages F-3 through F-19
hereof.
Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
ITEM 9A(T). Controls and Procedures.
(a) Managements annual report on disclosure controls and procedures.
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure
controls and procedures and for the assessment of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and
procedures. The Companys disclosure controls and procedures is a process designed under the
supervision of the Companys chief executive officer and chief financial officer to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP).
19
Our
Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that during the
period covered by this report, such internal control over financial reporting were not effective as more fully described below. This was due to
deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial
reporting that adversely affected our disclosure controls and that may be considered material
weaknesses. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has defined a material weakness as a
deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting (ICFR)
such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the companys annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the companys
ICFR.
The material weaknesses we identified in our internal control over financial reporting and
disclosure controls relate to the following:
Our
auditors identified a material weakness which consisted primarily of inadequate staffing and supervision that could lead to the untimely
identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters and failure to perform timely
and effective reviews.
The
second material weakness related to our accounting for stock-based
compensation under SFAS 123R and EITF 96-18, where the Company improperly calculated the
measurement date for non-employees of the Company and we did not take into consideration changes in
employee status. In addition, we misclassified the fair value of the unvested portion of
non-employee awards as a contra equity account called prepaid consulting.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.
Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurances
with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, any evaluation of
effectiveness for future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions in the future.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses
In light of the conclusion that our Companys internal control over financial reporting was
not effective, our management has developed a plan intended to remediate such ineffectiveness and
to strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting through the implementation of certain
remedial measures, which include:
1) Continue enhancing our U.S. GAAP training program for our existing personnel.
2) Hiring of an Assistant Controller to directly handle the day to day accounting functions
of the company.
3) The licensing of a SFAS 123R software program to assist in the proper accounting for
stock based compensation.
We will continue these efforts until we are satisfied that all material weaknesses have been
eliminated. We expect that resolution of all of these issues will take place in fiscal 2010.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not
subject to attestation by the companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only managements
report in this annual report.

control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Champions
Biotechnology, Inc. as of April 30, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period
ended April 30, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
As
discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements,
the accompanying financial statements have been restated.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE
1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Champions Biotechnology, Inc., (the Company) is a biotechnology company that is engaged in
the development of advanced preclinical platforms and predictive tumor specific data to enhance and
accelerate the value of oncology drugs. The Company was incorporated as a merger and acquisition
company under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 4, 1985 under the name International
Group, Inc. In September 1985 the Company completed a public offering and shortly thereafter
acquired the world-wide rights to the Champions sports theme restaurant concept and changed its
name to Champions Sports, Inc. In 1997, the Company sold its Champions service mark and concept
to Marriott International, Inc. and until 2005, was a consultant to Marriott International, Inc.
and operated one Champions Sports Bar Restaurant. In January 2007, the Company changed its
business direction to focus on biotechnology and subsequently changed its name to Champions
Biotechnology, Inc. In February 2007 the Company acquired the patent rights to two
Benzoylphenylurea (BPU) sulfur analog compounds. On May 18, 2007, the Company acquired Biomerk,
Inc. from Dr. David Sidransky and issued 4,000,000 restricted shares of its common stock. On
April 30, 2008, the Company issued 1,428,572 restricted shares of the Companys common stock at
$1.75 per share pursuant to the terms of a private investment financing.
The
Company has reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform with
the current year presentation.
Alleviation of going concern
At April 30, 2007, the Company reported that it had incurred substantial net losses for the
years ended April 30, 2007 and April 30, 2006 and the Company had not commenced operations to have
a revenue stream to support itself. These factors raised substantial doubt about the Companys
ability to continue as a going concern at that time.
During the three months ended April 30, 2008 the Company raised $2.5 million dollars in cash
through a private placement of common stock. With this additional capital and projected cash flow
expenditures over the next twelve months, Companys management considers the facts and
circumstances which raised substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going
concern to be alleviated.
The Company has sufficient resources to provide for the next twelve months of operations based
on its current level of expenditure, its anticipated level of future expenditure and revenue growth
and its ability to curtail expenditures if needed.
NOTE 2 - RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company has restated its consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2008 and for the
year then ended.
The
restatement arose when the Company identified an error in its
accounting for stock-based compensation related to stock options
issued to non-employees for consulting services. Previously, the
Company recognized a contra equity account called prepaid
consulting for the fair value of the unvested stock based
compensation awards. This prepaid consulting balance was amortized to
compensation expense over the options vesting term. Additionally, when
certain non-employees were hired as permanent employees, no
modification to the accounting for their previously issued stock
based compensation award was considered. Finally, the Company
considered the grant date to be the measurement date for options
awards issued to non-employees when no performance commitment
existed. Upon further review and analysis of the relevant accounting
literature related to stock-based compensation, we determined the
balance sheet should not present the fair value of the unvested
portion of awards issued to non-employees as the awards were not
fully vested when granted. Additionally, as no performance commitment
existed as of the grant date, the measurement date related to
non-employee stock option grants should have been measured at the
date the non-employees performance was completed, or over the
respective options vesting term. Lastly, when non-employees, who had
previously received stock options, were hired as permanent employees,
the unvested compensation should have been recognized as stock based
compensation expense ratably over the remaining vesting period on a
prospective basis.
The Companys management performed a detailed review of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No, 123R, Share Based Payment, (SFAS 123R), EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity
Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling,
Goods or Services, (EITF 96-18) and EITF 00-18, Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions
involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees, (EITF 00-18) as they apply to stock
options granted to non-employees. After evaluating this accounting literature, the Company
determined the balance sheet should not be grossed up for the unvested value of compensation
expense. Additionally, the compensation expense related to non-employee stock option grants should
calculated based on the fair market value of the options on the grant date and re-measured at the
end of each subsequent reporting period over the options vesting term. Lastly, when non-employees
who had previously received stock options were hired as permanent employees, the unvested
compensation as of the hire date should have been recognized ratably on a prospective basis over
the remaining vesting term.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2008 AND 2007
NOTE
3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives revenue from its Personalized Oncology services which assist physicians by
providing information that may enhance personalized treatment options for their cancer patients
through access to expert medical information panels and tumor specific data. Revenues are also
derived from the Companys Preclinical eValuation services which offer the benefits of its
Preclinical Platform to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies using Biomerk Tumorgraft studies
which have been shown to be predictive of how drugs perform in clinical settings. The Companys
revenue is described as Personalized Oncology services in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Revenue is recognized in accordance with the SECs Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue
Recognition (SAB 104). SAB 104 requires that four basic criteria be met before revenue can be
recognized: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; 2) delivery has occurred or services
rendered; 3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and 4) collectability is reasonably assured. As to
1), our business practices require that our services be performed pursuant to contracts with our
customers. As to 2), we recognize revenue when services are rendered to our customers. As to 3),
the fee is determined and fixed at the time the contract is executed. As to 4), our business
practices require that fees for services be remit upon execution of the contract, either in full or
in contractual amounts based on managements judgments regarding the fixed nature of our
arrangements taking into account termination provisions and the collectability of fees under our
arrangements.
The Companys revenue was solely derived from its Personalized Oncology services during the
year ended April 30, 2008.
Accounting for Acquisition
The Company has accounted for its acquisition under the purchase method of accounting for
business combinations. Under the purchase method of accounting, the cost, including transaction
costs, are allocated to the underlying net assets, based on their respective estimated fair values.
The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is
recorded as goodwill.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 142
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting
for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible
Assets. It addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other
assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial
statements upon their acquisition. This Statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible
assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial
statements.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets represent costs incurred for patent applications. The costs incurred were
valued at the fair value of the stock at the time of issuance. The Company will establish its
estimated useful life upon approval of the application, which will begin the period of amortization
of its cost. The Company will estimate the fair value of this asset annually.

Accounting for Acquisition
The Company has accounted for its acquisition under the purchase method of accounting for
business combinations. Under the purchase method of accounting, the cost, including transaction
costs, are allocated to the underlying net assets, based on their respective estimated fair values.
The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is
recorded as goodwill.
Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and are tested for impairment more frequently if events
and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to
the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the assets fair value. The Company assesses the
recoverability of its goodwill and other intangible assets by comparing the projected undiscounted
net cash flows associated with the related asset, over the remaining lives, in comparison to their
respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over
the fair value of those assets.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue represents payments received in advance for services to be performed. When
services are rendered, deferred revenue is then recognized as earned.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Net Loss Per Share
Historical net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) include additional dilution from common
stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants.
Common stock equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when
the Company reported a loss in 2007 because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the year presented.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flow, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of six months or less, unless restricted as to
use, to be cash equivalents. At various times throughout the years the Company had amounts on
deposit at financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits.
Income Taxes
The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109
(the Statement), Accounting for Income Taxes. The Statement requires an asset and liability
approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes, and the recognition of deferred
tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and
tax bases of the Companys assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect
when such amounts are realized or settled.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Companys financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, officer loans payable approximate fair values
because of the short maturities of these instruments.

Stock-Based Compensation
Employee stock awards under the Companys compensation plans are accounted for in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123(R)). SFAS 123(R) requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment
transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Share-based payment transactions within the
scope of SFAS 123(R) include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock
appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The provisions of SFAS 123(R), as amended,
are effective for small business issuers beginning as of the next fiscal year after December 15,
2005. Accordingly, the Company implemented the revised standard in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2007.
The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 96-18,
Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in
Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services. The fair value of the option issued is used to
measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. The
fair value is measured at the value of the Companys common stock on the date that the commitment
for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterpartys performance is complete.
The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional
paid-in capital.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (SFAS No. 157). This
standard provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157
applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair
value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. Prior to SFAS No. 157,
the methods for measuring fair value were diverse and inconsistent, especially for items that are
not actively traded. The standard clarifies that for items that are not actively traded, such as
certain kinds of derivatives, fair value should reflect the price in a transaction with a market
participant, including an adjustment for risk, not just the companys mark-to-model value. SFAS No.
157 also requires expanded disclosure of the effect on earnings for items measured using
unobservable data. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of this statement on its financial statements and expects to adopt
SFAS No.157 during the quarter ending July 31, 2008.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and
132R. This standard requires an employer to: (a) recognize in its statement of financial position
an asset for a plans overfunded status or a liability for a plans underfunded status; (b) measure
a plans assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the
employers fiscal year (with limited exceptions); and (c) recognize changes in the funded status of
a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur. Those changes will be
reported in comprehensive income. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan
and the disclosure requirements are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after
December 15, 2006. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of
the employers fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending
after December 15, 2008. The Company is evaluating the impact of this statement on its financial
statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159
permits entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value.
Unrealized gains and losses shall be reported on items for which the fair value option has been
elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year
that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions
of SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). The Company is currently assessing the
impact that SFAS No. 159 will have on its financial statements.

8 - PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method for the temporary differences
between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the Companys assets and liabilities.
Deferred income taxes are measured based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the
temporary differences are included in the Companys consolidated tax return. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to
differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases.
At April 30, 2008 and 2007, deferred tax assets consist of the following:
