Business Highlights

During and since the second quarter of 2013, the company has:

• Completed the enrollment required for its Phase I trial to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of the medical technology haMPC (Human Adipose-derived Mesenchymal Progenitor Cells) therapy for Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA)
• Achieved half of the enrollment of the total projected enrollment required for its Phase I trial to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of TC-DC (Tumor Stem Cell Specific Dendritic Cell) therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
• Appointed orthopedic surgeon Maxwell Wang, M.D., PhD, as Director of Medical Research
• Raised $3.0 million in working capital through the issuance of its common stock in July 2013.

"We have accomplished much in the past quarter," said Chairman and CEO Dr. Steve Liu. "The completion and near-completion of enrollment for our KOA and liver cancer trials, respectively, are important achievements. We are very encouraged that the interim data from each trial continues to support the strong safety profile of the therapies, and believe that the efficacy of these therapies combined with our international compliance will position us to become a leading translational cellular medicine platform in China."
