NARRATIVE
State
below in reasonable detail why the Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10D, N-SAR,
N-CSR or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the
prescribed time period.
The
Registrant is unable to file its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December
31,
2006
(the
“Form 10-KSB”) within the prescribed time period because it requires additional
time for the review and completion of its financial statements and management’s
discussion and analysis. The
Registrant represents that its Form 10-KSB will be filed within the period
specified by Rule 12b-25(b)(2)(ii).

Have
all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of
the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period
that
the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If

Is
it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
from
the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected
by the
earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion
thereof?
|
[X]
Yes
[ ] No
If
so:
attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and
quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate
of the results cannot be made.
The
Registrant’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 will
change significantly from the comparable period for 2005.
Total
revenues decreased to $793,489 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006
from
$2,424,483 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The $1,630,994 decrease
is primarily due to licensing revenues of $1,750,000 received in the fiscal
year
ended December 31, 2005 resulting from Registrant’s agreement with Asahi Kasei
Medical Co., Ltd. (“Asahi”), offset by a $119,006 increase in product revenues
during 2006.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the financial information publicly
announced at a later date will not differ materially from the above disclosure
upon completion of the Form 10-KSB.
