__________________________________________________________________________________________
We submit the following in response to your comments by letter of June 22, 2009. In each case, to facilitate review we have quoted your comment, and provided our response and a reference to the page of the Filing in which the revisions appear, or alternatively, have provided the supplemental information requested by the Commission.

Your response to comment two did not address how your statement of cash flows complies with SFAS 95. Specifically, show us how the effect of exchange rates on cash of ($835,111) and $694,448 on the statement of cash flows complies with paragraph 25 of SFAS 95 (the effect of exchange rate changes on cash balances held in foreign currencies as a separate part of the reconciliation of the change in cash).
COMPANY RESPONSE: The Company has revised its Statements of Cash Flows so as to specifically delineate, on a separate line, the zero effect of exchange rate changes on the Company’s cash balances held in foreign currencies. In addition, pursuant to the request of Ms. Ignat, the Company has included with this response a workpaper (in Excel format) detailing the calculations of the Other Comprehensive Income recognized by the Company.

You state in your response to comment two that you revised the “Statement of Operations in the column for the year ended June 30, 2007 so as to correctly state the foreign currency translation adjustment as $(694,448)” In this regard please tell us when you intend to amend your filings to report the correction of this error in accordance with SFAS 154. Provide to us all of the disclosures required by SFAS 154 as applicable.
COMPANY RESPONSE: The Company is ready to restate its financial statements to correct this error in accordance with SFAS 154 and intends to do so when we are in full compliance with all comments and other requests as put forth by the Commission. The disclosure included pursuant to SFAS 154 will read as follows:
“NOTE 12 – CORRECTION OF AN ERROR
Subsequent to the original filing of the Company’s June 30, 2008 financial statements, it was discovered that the Company had incorrectly reported the foreign currency translation adjustment in its June 30, 2007 audited financial statements. The error has been corrected and figure is appropriately stated in the accompanying financial statements. A summary of significant financial statement figures, before and after the correction of the error, is included in the table below.

Please provide us a more detailed explanation of the circumstance that gave rise to the error. In doing so, please tell us when the error was discovered and the circumstances that led to the discovery of the error. Elaborate on any internal control deficiencies that allowed the misapplication of some accounting provisions to prevail over time and explain whether these amounted to a material weakness. Discuss whether and how you changed your controls and procedures as a result of the discovery of this error and revise your Item 307 and Item 308 disclosures as appropriate.
COMPANY RESPONSE: The error occurred when copying previous year figures into the current year statements. This mistake was discovered when rereading the FY2008 financial statements in the course of preparing our reply to your comments by letter dated April 2, 2009. The error had escaped the attention of our accounting, officers and auditors. We acknowledge this to be a single occurrence. There was no misapplication of accounting provisions and no material weakness was identified when analyzing this error. There were no changes in our controls and procedures resulting from this error.

With regard to your response to comment seven, it does not appear that you included a statement in Management’s Report over Financial Reporting as to whether or not your internal control over financial reporting was effective at the end of your most recent fiscal year. Refer to Item 308 of Regulation S-K. Please revise your disclosure to clarify.
COMPANY RESPONSE: The Company will add to the end of the first paragraph of Management’s Annual Report over Financial Reporting the following sentence:
“Based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.”
5.
In this regard, disclose the specific steps that the company has taken to remediate the material weakness identified and disclose whether the company believes that the material weakness still exists at the end of the period covered by the report.
COMPANY RESPONSE: We previously stated that the material weakness identified by Management in its evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting originates from “the lack of segregation of duties.” The evaluation of our resources, both fiscal and personnel, have led us to conclude that we are not able to appoint additional qualified personnel to the pertinent management positions. The material weakness persisted, therefore, as of June 30, 2008, and continues to persist until today.
We will, therefore, add the following sentence to the end of the second paragraph of Management’s report over financial reporting:
“As of June 30, 2008, the resources of the company were insufficient to appoint additional qualified personnel to the pertinent management positions. The material weakness due to a lack of segregation of duties persisted through June 30, 2008, and is likely to persist during the next fiscal year also.”
6.
You state that management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of your internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008 but it does not appear that your certifying officers have reached a conclusion on the effectiveness of your internal control over financial reporting. Please revise the wording to clarify, in clear and unqualified language the conclusions reached by your certifying officers on the effectiveness of your internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008.
COMPANY RESPONSE: The Company will add in the Management’s Annual Report over Financial Reporting the language as stated in items 4 and 5 above. As such, the entire Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting will then read as follows:
“Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, using the criteria established inInternal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.Based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financ ial reporting as of June 30, 2008, management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Response to June 22, 2009 SEC Comment Letter |
Page 4 of 5 |
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As a result of management’s assessment, management has determined that there is a material weakness due to the lack of segregation of duties. In order to address and resolve this weakness we will evaluate our resources and endeavor to locate and appoint additional qualified personnel to the pertinent management positions. Additionally, the Company has not instituted specific anti-fraud controls. While management found no evidence of fraudulent activity, the chief accounting officer has access to both accounting records and corporate assets, principally the operating bank account. Management believes this exposure to potential fraudulent activity is not significant either to the operations of the company or to the financial reporting; however, management is in the process of instituting controls specifically designed to address this material weakness, so as to prevent and detect—on a timely basis—any potential loss due to fraudulent activity. As of June 30, 2008, the resources of the company were insufficient to appoint additional qualified personnel to the pertinent management positions. The material weakness due to a lack of segregation of duties persisted through June 30, 2008, and is likely to persist during the next fiscal year also.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter (our fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
The term “internal control over financial reporting” is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
(a) Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the registrant;
(b) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and
(c) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.”

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2008
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Sangui Biotech International, Inc., incorporated in Colorado in 1995, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Sangui Biotech, Inc., SanguiBioTech AG, GlukoMediTech AG, and Sangui BioTech PTE Ltd., (collectively, the "Company") have been engaged in the research, development, manufacture, and sales of medical products.
On June 30, 2003, GlukoMediTech AG ("Gluko AG") was merged into Sangui BioTech AG ("Sangui AG"). Effective November 4, 2003, Sangui AG was converted into Sangui BioTech GmbH (Sangui GmbH). After completion of the restructuring, Sangui GmbH, which is headquartered in Witten, Germany, is engaged in the development of artificial oxygen carriers (external applications of haemoglobin, blood substitutes and blood additives) and in the development of glucose implant sensors.
The operations of Sangui BioTech, Inc. ("Sangui USA") were discontinued during 2002 upon the sale of its in vitro immunodiagnostics business and the subsequent merger of Sangui USA with and into the parent company, Sangui BioTech International, Inc., effective December 31, 2002 (see Note 7). Sangui BioTech PTE Ltd ("Sangui Singapore") was a regional office for the Company that carried out research and development projects in conjunction with Sangui GmbH and Sangui Singapore. The Company discontinued the operations of Sangui Singapore in August 2002. The Singapore office was closed effective December 31, 2002.
Going Concern
The Company incurred a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $854,161 and used cash in operating activities of $1,140,922 for the year ended June 30, 2008. These and other conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company expects to continue to incur significant capital expenses in pursuing its business plan to market its products and expand its product line, while obtaining additional financing through stock offerings or other feasible financing alternatives. In order for the Company to continue its operations at its existing levels, the Company will require significant additional funds over the next twelve months. Therefore, the Company is dependent on funds raised through equity or debt offerings.
Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company, or at all. If these funds are not available the Company may not be able to execute its business plan or take advantage of business opportunities. The ability of the Company to obtain such additional financing and to achieve its operating goals is uncertain. In the event that the Company does not obtain additional capital or is not able to increase cash flow through the increase of sales, there is a substantial doubt of its being able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sangui BioTech International, Inc. and its wholly owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the respective reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management are, among others, the realization of receivables and long-lived assets, and valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2008
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company's line of future pharmaceutical and cosmetic products (artificial oxygen carriers or blood substitute and additives) as well as other medical products being developed by Sangui GmbH, are deemed as medical devices or biologics, and as such are governed by the Federal Food and Drug and Cosmetics Act and by the regulations of state agencies and various foreign government agencies. The pharmaceutical and biosensor products, under development in Germany, will be subject to more stringent regulatory requirements, because they are in vivo products for humans. The Company and its subsidiaries have no experience in obtaining regulatory clearance on these types of products. Therefore, the Company will be subject to the risks of delays in obtaining or failing to obtain regulatory clearance.
Financial Instruments
The Company has financial instruments whereby the fair market value of the financial instruments could be different than that recorded on a historical basis. The Company's financial instruments consist of its cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying amount of the Company's cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their estimated fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial statements. Marketable securities are stated at fair value based upon quoted market prices and are classified as available-for-sale securities.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Net exchange gains or losses resulting from such translation are excluded from net loss but are included in comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated in a separate component of stockholders' equity. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company maintains its cash in uninsured bank accounts in Germany. Cash and cash equivalents include time deposits for which the Company has no requirements for compensating balances. The Company has not experienced any losses in its uninsured bank accounts. The Company had no cash equivalents outstanding as of June 30, 2008.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the expected useful lives, which range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the related lease terms. Depreciation expense for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $3,961 and $21,540, respectively. Expenditures for normal maintenance and routine repairs are charged to expense, and significant improvements are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets are removed from the accounts upon retirement or other disposition; any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations.
Patents and Licenses
Patents and licenses are recorded at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from four to eight years. Amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $-0-.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity are reviewed by the management of the Company for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. As of June 30, 2008, management of the Company believes that no impairment has been indicated. There can be no assurances, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company's products will continue which could result in impairment on long-lived assets in the future.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2008
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on sales of its wound treatment products, and of its cosmetics products. The majority of the Company’s sales are generated via online orders, with a credit card. Before the order is fully processed, the credit card is verified and billed. Revenue is recognized at the time the credit card order is consummated. The product is typically shipped within one to two business days.
Research and Development
Research and development are charged to operations as they are incurred. Legal fees and other direct costs incurred in obtaining and protecting patents are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs totaled $213,614 and $155,886 during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such tax assets will not be realized through future operations.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted earnings (loss) per share gives effect to all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period of compensation. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings. As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company had no potentially dilutive securities that would effect the loss per share if they were to be dilutive.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Total comprehensive income (loss) represents the net change in stockholders' equity during a period from sources other than transactions with stockholders and as such, includes net earnings (loss). For the Company, the components of other comprehensive income (loss) are the changes in the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities and cash equivalents and are recorded as components of stockholders' equity.
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way public companies report information about segments of their business in their annual financial statements and requires them to report selected segment information in their quarterly reports issued to stockholders. It also requires entity-wide disclosures about the products and services an entity provides, the material countries in which it holds assets and reports revenues and its major customers, if any. As of June 30, 2008, the Company has only one segment of enterprise which is medical products manufacturing and sales.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (computed on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value. At June 30, 2008 all inventory consists of finished goods. Inventory is evaluated periodically by management for potential impairment. During the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized no impairment expense pertaining to inventory.

The Company periodically reviews its trade receivables for potential collectability issues. The Company has implemented the policy to charge-off trade receivables older than 120 days outstanding as bad-debt expense. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $-0-.
New Accounting Pronouncements
During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company adopted the following accounting pronouncements:
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-and interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”.SFAS No. 163 clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claims liabilities. This statement also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS No. 163 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. SFAS No. 163 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.SFAS No. 162 sets forth the level of authority to a given accounting pronouncement or document by category. Where there might be conflicting guidance between two categories, the more authoritative category will prevail. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days after the SEC approves the PCAOB’s amendments to AU Section 411 of the AICPA Professional Standards. SFAS No. 162 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.This standard requires companies to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has not yet adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 161, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operatio ns or cash flows.
In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 110 regarding the use of a "simplified" method, as discussed in SAB No. 107 (SAB 107), in developing an estimate of expected term of "plain vanilla" share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment.In particular, the staff indicated in SAB 107 that it will accept a company's election to use the simplified method, regardless of whether the company has sufficient information to make more refined estimates of expected term. At the time SAB 107 was issued, the staff believed that more detailed external information about employee exercise behavior (e.g., employee exercise patterns by industry and/or other categories of companies) would, over time, become readily available to companies. Therefore, the staff stated in SAB 107 that it would not expect a company to use the simplified method for share option grants af ter December 31, 2007. The staff understands that such detailed information about employee exercise behavior may not be widely available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the staff will continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified method beyond December 31, 2007. The Company currently uses the simplified method for “plain vanilla” share options and warrants, and will assess the impact of SAB 110 for fiscal year 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
New Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51.This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Before this statement was issued, limited guidance existed for reporting noncontrolling interests. As a result, considerable diversity in practice existed. So-called minority interests were reported in the consolidated statement of financial position as liabilities or in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. This statement improves comparability by eliminating that diversity. This statement is effective for fis cal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, January 1, 2009, for entities with calendar year-ends). Earlier adoption is prohibited. The effective date of this statement is the same as that of the related Statement 141 (revised 2007). The Company will adopt this Statement beginning March 1, 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB, issued FAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations.’This Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, but retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141.This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after Dece mber 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. The effective date of this statement is the same as that of the related FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.The Company will adopt this statement beginning March 1, 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
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.This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This option is available to all entities. Most of the provisions in FAS 159 are elective; however, an amendment to FAS 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities applies to all entities with available for sale or trading securities. Some requirements apply differently to entities that do not report net income. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entities first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the provi sions of SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements.The Company will adopt SFAS No. 159 beginning March 1, 2008 and is currently evaluating the potential impact the adoption of this pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value MeasurementsThis statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this statement will change current practice. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial st atements for that fiscal year, including financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. The Company will adopt this statement March 1, 2008, and it is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Major Customers
During the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 the Company had three customers to whom sales exceeded 10% of the Company’s total sales for the period.Each customer is an unrelated third party.These three companies combined to constitute approximately 70% of the Company’s gross revenues for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Increase in Capital Reserve – During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded an increase to its capital reserve as a credit to additional paid in capital.This increase is due to the Company selling of 10% of its stock of its German subsidiary (GmbH) to one group of investors in April, 2008. The calculation reflects German law, mandating that the amount incurred exceeding the nominal value of the stock needs be accounted for as capital reserve.
