In this prospectus, the terms “Regen Biopharma, Inc” “Regen ” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Regen Biopharma , Inc.. In this prospectus, the terms “Bio-Matrix Scientific Group” “Bio-Matrix ” and “BMSN” refer to Bio-Matrix Scientific Group , Inc..
About Us
We were incorporated April 24, 2012 under the laws of the State of Nevada. We are a majority owned subsidiary of Bio-Matrix Scientific Group, Inc, a Delaware corporation. We intend to engage primarily in the development of regenerative medical applications which we intend to license from other entities up to the point of successful completion of Phase I and or Phase II clinical trials after which we would either attempt to sell or license those developed applications or, alternatively, advance the application further to Phase III clinical trials. The primary factor to be considered by us in arriving at a decision to advance an application further to Phase III clinical trials would be a greater than anticipated indication of efficacy seen in Phase I trials.
As of January 6, 2014, we have not licensed any existing therapies however we have acquired certain intellectual property from Dr. Wei Ping Min on May 1, 2013and licensed certain intellectual property from Benitec Australia Limited on August 5, 2013. These collective intellectual properties comprise the therapeutic concept behind dCellVax , a cancer therapy in early stage development by the Company.
The Company has begun development of HemaXellerate I, a cellular therapy designed to heal damaged bone marrow. HemaXellarate I utilizes a collection of cells harvested from the patient’s own adipose (fat) tissue to repair damaged bone marrow and stimulate production of blood cells . The initial application of HemaXellerate I will be the treatment of severe aplastic anemia, a rare and serious condition in which the bone marrow fails to make enough blood cells: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
In this application, adipose (fat) tissue is collected from the patient and processed in order to separate , extract and isolate Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF). SVF preparations contain significant numbers of cellular populations with therapeutic activity that would be relevant to aplastic anemia; namely:
a) mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), which suppress pathological immune responses and accelerate hematopoiesis (the formation and development of blood cells);
b) endothelial cells, which assist in repairing damaged bone marrow and stimulate hematopoiesis; and
c) T regulatory cells, which possess anti-inflammatory properties.
The Company believes that the isolated SVF will generate growth factors with the ability to repair damaged hematopoietic stem cells. Hematopoietic stem cells are immature cells that can develop into all types of blood cells, including white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Hematopoietic stem cells are found in the peripheral blood and the bone marrow.
3 |
In practice, the physician is shipped a kit, which is used to collect adipose tissue. The tissue is sent to a processing facility, and a standardized cellular product is delivered in a ready-to-use manner for administration into the patient intravenously.
On February 5, 2013 Regen filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the United States Food and Drug Administration to initiate a clinical trial. In this study we will seek to determine the safety and potential efficacy of intravenously administered autologous (derived or transferred from the same individual's body)SVF cells in 10 patients with severe aplastic anemia that is resistant to immune suppressive therapy.
Also in early stage development by the Company are HemaXellerate II and dCellVax.
Unlike HemaXellarate which utilizes the patient’s own fat tissue to harvest the cells needed to repair damaged bone marrow and stimulate production of blood cells HemaXellarate II utilizes third party placental tissue to harvest these cells.
dCellVax is intended to be a therapy whereby dendritic cells of the cancer patient are harvested from the body, treated with plasmid DNA (small DNA molecule that is physically separate from, and can replicate independently of, chromosomal DNA) within a cell that has the ability to block the dendritic cell from expressing indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (“IDO”) and subsequently reimplanted in the cancer patient. A plasmid is a small DNA molecule that is physically separate from, and can replicate independently of, chromosomal DNA within a cell.
Dendritic cells assist a part of the immune system known as the adaptive immune system by identify cancer cells as foreign and presenting this information to other immune cells called T lymphocytes (‘T cells”) enabling the T-cells learn to recognize the tumour as a foreign invader and respond more strongly to destroy it. IDO is an enzyme that is believed to suppress the body’s immune response to the cancer cells by suppressing T Cells as well as halting the dendritic cell from activating T cells. The dendritic cells that are treated with the IDO-blocking plasmid become resistant to the influence of cancercells which cause the dendritic cell to express IDO. T cells are a type of lymphocyte (itself a type of white blood cell) that play a vital role in the body’s immune response.
The therapeutic concept behind the HemaXellerate products derives from intellectual property licensed to the Company by Oregon Health & Science University (US patent No. 6,821,513 “Method for enhancing hematopoiesis” issued Nov. 23, 2004) pursuant to an agreement entered into by the parties on June 5, 2013. This agreement was terminated by mutual consent on August 8, 2013 due to the fact that US patent No. 6,821,513 had expired due to nonpayment of the required maintenance fees by Oregon Health & Science University. The Company has been informed by its counsel and believes that the expiration of US patent No. 6,821,513 signifies that no party can be sued for future infringement based on the patent. Thus the Company is free to practice the claimed methods recited in the expired patent in the future without being liable for patent infringement based on the patent.
Regen has filed applications for patent protection with respect to internally developed intellectual property covering the HemaXellaerate products in development (61/648898 - Acceleration of Hematopoietic Reconstitution by Placental Endothelial and Endothelial Progenitor Cells and 61/670791 - Treatment of Hematopoietic Disorders, covering placenta and fat tissue as sources of endothelial cells for therapy).
The therapeutic concept behind dCellVax is derived primarily from
(a) | intellectual property acquired from Dr. Wei Ping Min on May 1, 2013 |
(b) | Intellectual property licensed to the Company by Benitec Australia Limited on August 5, 2013 |
We generated net losses of $731,753 during the period from April 24, 2012(inception) through December 31, 2013. This condition raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to meet our obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. Our auditor's report dated December 16, 2013 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Selected Balance Sheet Information: | |||
Cash | $ | 267,818 | |
Current assets | 267,818 | ||
Total assets | $ | 267,818 | |
Current liabilities | $ | 16,425 | |
Total liabilities | 16,425 | ||
Total stockholders' equity (deficit) | $ | 251,393 |
As of December 3 1 , 2013 we had $ 267,818 cash on hand and current liabilities of $ 16,425 .
We feel we will not be able to satisfy its cash requirements over the next twelve months and shall be required to seek additional financing.
We currently plan to raise additional funds primarily by offering securities for cash and applying for grants.
From the period beginning July 1, 2013 and ending December 31 , 2013 the Company’s activities have been primarily focused upon
(a) the development of protocols for pre-clinical research required to be undertaken with regard to the HemaXellerate I product in development in response to the US Food and Drug Administration’s comments on the Company’s submitted IND
(b) the development of preclinical research to be undertaken with regard to the development of dCellVax
The following actions are required to be undertaken by the Company in order to address comments made by the US Food and Drug Administration with regards to the IND filed by the Company for HemaXellerate I
a) demonstration of safety in an immune deficient model by intravenous administration bracketing the per kilogram dose proposed in the clinical study;
b) augmentation of existing efficacy data by including details of blood cell responses after treatment.
Pursuant to a Service Agreement entered into by and between the Company and Dr. Wei-Ping Min, on Sept 24, 2013 the Company began experiments required to be undertaken in order to address the FDA’s comment concerning efficacy. Studies required to be undertaken in order to address the FDA’s comments concerning safety commenced in December 2013. It is estimated by the Company that completion of efficacy studies will require 3 months, and the safety studies will be completed in 2 months. It is estimated by the Company that appropriate review of the data by the FDA will take 30 days. Based on these assumptions, during the three months ending March 31, 2014 the Company anticipates completion of all actions required to be undertaken with regards to addressing comments made by the US Food and Drug Administration with regards to the IND filed by the Company for HemaXellerate I. The Company also anticipates commencement of the Phase I clinical trial for HemaXellerate I anticipated to begin July 2014. The Company intends, upon satisfaction of all comments, to seek Orphan Drug Designation under the Orphan Drug Act of 1983 from the US Food and Drug Administration for HemaXellerate I. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 the Company also anticipates completion of preclinical testing with regards to dCellVax as well as submission of an IND to the FDA with regards to dCellVax.

The Company has historically met its cash needs primarily through capital contributions made by BMSN and anticipates continuing to do so for the period beginning January 8, 2014 and ending March 31, 2014. The Company also plans to meet cash needs through applying for governmental and non-governmental grants as well as selling its securities for cash.Management has yet to decide what type of offering the Company will use or how much capital the Company will raise. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise any capital through any type of offerings. Management can give no assurance that any governmental or non-governmental grant will be obtained by the Company despite the Company’s best efforts.
The Company anticipates hiring a Chief Financial Officer and a Project Coordinator as well as retaining the services of Contract Research Organizations (CROs) during the period beginning January 8 , 201 4 and ending September 30 , 2014. The utilization of CROs is intended to provide significant savings with regard to equipment expenditures and long term fixed research / development overhead. As such, the Company does not currently anticipate material acquisition of plant and equipment to be undertaken over the period beginning January 8, 2014 and ending September 30 , 2014

EXEMPTIONS UNDER JUMPSTART OUR BUSINESS STARTUPS ACT
As a company with less than $1.0 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act.
8 |
An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. As an emerging growth company:
• we are permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;
• we are exempt from the requirement to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
• we are permitted to provide less extensive disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements; and
• we are not required to give our stockholders non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.
We may take advantage of these provisions for up to five years subsequent to the effective date of this registration statement or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) December 31 of the fiscal year that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter and we have been publicly reporting for at least 12 months or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.
We hereby elect to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1).
RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this prospectus, including information in the section of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the other financial information and consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in this prospectus.
Risks Related to our Business:
WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY UPON WHICH AN EVALUATION OF OUR PROSPECTS CAN BE MADE.
The Company was incorporated April 24, 2012 and has only been pursuing its current business plan since April 24, 2012. The Company has never generated positive cash flow from operations.Due to the early stage of our development, limited financial and other historical data is available for investors to evaluate whether we will be able to fulfill our business strategy and plans. Further, financial and other limitations may force us to modify, alter, or significantly delay the implementation of such plans. We may incur substantial losses in the future, making it extremely difficult to implement our business plans and strategies and sustain our then current level of operations. Furthermore, no assurances can be given that our strategy will result in an improvement in operating results or that our operations will become profitable.
9 |
THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT THE COMPANY’S ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
Our auditor’s report dated December 16 , 2013 expresses an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as an ongoing concern. Because obtaining investment capital in not certain, we may not have the funds necessary to continue our operations. Our ability to meet our operating needs depends in large part on our ability to secure third party financing. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to obtain financing.
THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT THE COMPANY’S PARENT’S ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
Our parent company , BMSN, has no revenues and generated net losses of $ 17,360,613 (excluding $663,649 of Equity in Net Losses of Entest Biomedical, Inc. recognized) during the period from August 2, 2005 (inception) through December 31, 2013. This condition raises substantial doubt about BMSN’s ability to continue as a going concern.
THE COMPANY DOES NOT CURRENTLY OWN OR OPERATE ANY LABORATORY OR MANUFACTURING FACILITIES,THE COMPANY CAN PROVIDE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE USAGE OF SUCH FACILITIES CAN BE OBTAINED ON TERMS FAVORABLE TO THE COMPANY
The Company does not currently own or operate any laboratory or manufacturing facilities. As a result, we may outsource certain functions, tests and services to Contract Research Organizations (“CROs”) , medical institutions and collaborators as well as outsourcing manufacturing to collaborators and/or contract manufacturers. We may also engage a CRO to run all aspects of a clinical trial on our behalf. There is no assurance that such individuals or organizations will be able to provide the functions, tests, or services as agreed upon or in a quality fashion or on terms favorable to the Company. Any failure to do so could cause us to suffer significant delays in the development of our products.
WE ARE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF DEVELOPING HEMAXELLERATE, THE EFFECTIVENESS OF WHICH IS UNPROVEN. OTHER PRODUCTS IN VARIOUS EARLY STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT ARE ALSO UNPROVEN.
The Company is currently in the early stage of developing HemaXellerate, a cellular drug designed to heal damaged bone marrows. HemaXellerate is unproven and no assurance can be given that HemaXellerate will prove effective for its intended purpose.
WE ARE RELIANT ON BENITEC AUSTRALIA LIMITED AND THE COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH ORGANISATION (“CSIRO”) OF AUSTRALIA WITH REGARD TO THE PROSECUTION OF RIGHTS TO PATENTS, PATENT APPLICATIONS, KNOW-HOW AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RELATING TO RNA INTERFERENCE TO WHICH WE HAVE BEEN GRANTED AN EXCLUSIVE WORLDWIDE RIGHT AND LICENSE TO DEVELOP AND COMMERCIALIZ (“BENITEC LICENSE”).
Pursuant to the agreement between the Company and Benitec Australia Limited for the grant of the Benitec License; Benitec Australia Limited (or CSIRO to the extent applicable and permissible under an exclusive license by and between Benitec Australia Limited and CSIRO), shall have the right and the obligation to prosecute all Patents included within the Benitec License at its cost and expense. Regen BioPharma may not commence suit under any patents licensed or any patents which issue on the applications licensed without seeking and obtaining the prior written consent of Benitec Australia Limited or CSIRO, as the case may be.CSIRO has sole responsibility and control of legal action of any of that patents licensed to the Company under the Benitec License which have been licensed to Benitec Australia Limited by CSIRO. If Benitec Australia Limited or CSIRO fail to adequately maintain, prosecute or protect these intellectual property rights our business and prospects could suffer substantial harm.
10 |
WE WILL NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO CARRY OUT OUR BUSINESS PLAN.
To date, the Company’s operations have not generated cash flow sufficient to fund our capital requirements and there can be no assurance given that the Company’s operations will do so in the future. To date, the Company has generated no cash flow from operations and there can be no assurance given that the Company’s operations will do so in the future. As of February 19, 2014 the Company has cash of $199,693 which will allow us to satisfy our cash requirements over the next six months exclusive of any additional financing. There is no guarantee that we will be able to access additional capital at rates and on terms which are attractive to us, if at all. Without the additional funding needed to fund our growth we may not be able to grow as planned.
.
WE RELY ON HIGHLY SKILLED PERSONNEL AND, IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RETAIN OR MOTIVATE KEY PERSONNEL, HIRE QUALIFIED PERSONNEL, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GROW EFFECTIVELY.
Our performance largely depends on the talents and efforts of highly skilled individuals. Among employees of the Company these individuals include Thomas E. Ichim, PhD, a director and Chief Scientific Officer and Director of Research. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly skilled personnel for all areas of our organization, particularly sales and marketing. Competition in our industry for qualified employees is intense. In addition, our compensation arrangements may not always be successful in attracting new employees and retaining and motivating our existing employees. Our continued ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to attract new employees and to retain and motivate our existing employees.
DEPENDENCE ON DAVID R. KOOS, WITHOUT WHOSE SERVICES COMPANY BUSINESS OPERATIONS COULD CEASE.
At this time, the sole officer and director of the Company is David R. Koos, who is wholly responsible for the development and execution of our business. Mr. Koos is not party to an employment agreement with us. If Mr. Koos should choose to leave us for any reason before we have hired additional personnel our operations may fail. Even if we are able to find additional personnel, it is uncertain whether we could find qualified management who could develop our business along the lines described herein or would be willing to work for compensation the Company could afford. Without such management, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment. David Koos is not party to an employment agreement with the Company.
THE COMPANY DOES NOT MAINTAIN CERTAIN INSURANCE, INCLUDING ERRORS AND OMISSIONS INSURANCE.
The Company has limited capital and, therefore, does not currently have a policy of insurance against liabilities arising out of the negligence of its officers and directors and/or deficiencies in any of its business operations. Even assuming that the Company obtained insurance, there is no assurance that such insurance coverage would be adequate to satisfy any potential claims made against the Company, its officers and directors, or its business operations or products. Any such liability which might arise could be substantial and may exceed the assets of the Company.
IN THE FUTURE WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS CLAIMS, WHICH ARE COSTLY TO DEFEND, COULD REQUIRE US TO PAY DAMAGES AND COULD LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO SELL SOME OF OUR PRODUCTS.
Although we have not been subject to any intellectual property litigation or infringement claims, we may be in the future, which could cause us to incur significant expenses to defend such claims, divert management’s attention or prevent us from manufacturing, selling or using some aspect of our products. If we chose or are forced to settle such claims, we may be required to pay for a license to certain rights, paying royalties on both a retrospective and prospective basis, and/or cease our manufacturing and sale of certain products that are alleged to be infringing. Future infringement claims against us by third parties may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO NUMEROUS LAWS AND REGULATIONS, FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THOSE LAWS AND REGULATIONS MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS.
Products we are currently developing and which may be developed by us would be highly regulated.We currently have no products approved for sale and we cannot guarantee that we will ever have marketable products. The development of a product candidate and issues relating to its approval and marketing are subject to extensive regulation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States and regulatory authorities in other countries, with regulations differing from country to country. We are not permitted to market our product candidates in the United States until we receive approval of a New Drug Application (NDA) or a Biologic License Application (BLA), as applicable, from the FDA.
In the United States, NDAs and BLAs must include extensive preclinical and clinical data and supporting information to establish the product candidate’s safety and effectiveness for each desired indication. NDAs and BLAs must also include significant information regarding the chemistry, manufacturing and controls for the product. Obtaining approval of a NDA or BLA is a lengthy, expensive and uncertain process, and we may not be successful in obtaining approval. Regulators of other jurisdictions, such as theEuropean Medicines Agency (EMA) , a European Union agency for the evaluation of medicinal products, have their own procedures for approval of product candidates. Even in the event that a product is approved, the FDA or the EMA, as the case may be, may limit the indications for which the product may be marketed, require extensive warnings on the product labeling or require expensive and time-consuming clinical trials or reporting as conditions of approval. Regulatory authorities in countries outside of the United States and Europe also have requirements for approval of drug candidates with which we must comply prior to marketing in those countries. Obtaining regulatory approval for marketing of a product candidate in one country does not ensure that we will be able to obtain regulatory approval in any other country.
NO APPROVAL HAS BEEN GRANTED BY THE FDA FOR THE MARKETING AND SALE OF HEMAXELLERATE
On February 5, 2013 Regen filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the United States Food and Drug Administration to initiate clinical trials assessing the Company’s HemaXellerate drug currently in development in patients with drug-refractory aplastic anemia. A condition is classified as drug-refractory if the patient is unresponsive to drug therapy. Regen will be required to obtain approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in order to marketHemaXellerate. No approval has been granted by the FDA for the marketing and sale of HemaXellerate.
NO APPROVAL HAS BEEN GRANTED BY THE FDA FOR THE MARKETING AND SALE OF HEMAXELLERATE II
Regen will be required to obtain approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in order to market HemaXellerate II. No approval has been granted by the FDA for the marketing and sale of HemaXellerate II.
NO APPROVAL HAS BEEN GRANTED BY THE FDA FOR THE MARKETING AND SALE OF dCellVax
Regen will be required to obtain approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in order to market dCellVax. No approval has been granted by the FDA for the marketing and sale of dCellVax .
NO ASSURANCE THAT ANY PRODUCT IN DEVELOPMENT OR WHICH MAY BE PUT INTO DEVELOPMENT WILLSUCCESFULLY COMPLETE ANY CLINICAL TRIALS.
Clinical trials involving new drugs and biologics are commonly classified into three phases. Each phase of the drug approval process is treated as a separate clinical trial and the drug-development process usually advances through all four phases over many years. Each phase exposes greater number of subjects to the drug and each phase builds on existing safety and efficacy information. Phase 1 trials are designed to assess the safety and tolerability of a drug or biologic.Phase II trials are designed to assess how well the drug or biologic works, as well as to continue Phase I safety assessments in a larger group of volunteers and patients.Phase III trials are aimed at being the definitive assessment of how effective the drug or biologic is, in comparison with current treatment and to provide an adequate basis for physician labeling. If the drug or biologic successfully passes through Phases I, II, and III, it will usually be approved by the national regulatory authority for use in the general population.
12 |
The Company’s plan is to engage primarily in the development of regenerative medical applications which we intend to license from other entities up to the point of successful completion of Phase I and or Phase II clinical trials after which we would either attempt to sell or license those developed applications or, alternatively, advance the application further to Phase III clinical trials.
We have yet to complete a successful clinical trial of any product under development and no assurance can be made that any product under development will successfully complete a clinical trial.
THE COMPANY CAN PROVIDE NO ASSURANCE THAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO SELL OR LICENSE ANY PRODUCT UNDER DEVELOPMENT OR WHICH WE MAY DEVELOPIN THE FUTURE.
The Company’s current plans include the development of regenerative medical applications up to the point of successful completion of Phase I and/ or Phase II clinical trials after which we would either attempt to sell or license those developed applications or, alternatively, advance the application further to Phase III clinical trials. We can provide no assurance that the Company will be able to sell or license any product or that, if such product is sold or licensed, such sale or license will be on terms favorable to the Company.
WE HAVE NOT OBTAINED PATENT PROTECTION FOR OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
With the exception of all proprietary rights to US Patent # 8,389,708 (Method of Cancer Treatment using siRNA Silencing ) assigned to the Company on May 1, 2013, the Company has not obtained patent protection on any of its intellectual property. Although the Company plans on attempting to obtain patents on its products and services, there can be no assurance that the Company can obtain effective protection against unauthorized duplication or the introduction of substantially similar products. The concept behind HemaXellerate I and HemaXellarate II, two therapies under development by the Company, derives from intellectual property not protected by patent and considered to be in the public domain.
LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS FOR BREACH OF DUTY OF CARE IS LIMITED. OUR BYLAWS INDEMNIFY MEMBERS OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, OUR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS AND PERSONS WHO FORMERLY HELD SUCH POSITIONS, AND THE LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES OF ANY OF THEM, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE UNDER THE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW OF THE STATE OF NEVADA AGAINST ANY OR ALLEXPENSE, LIABILITY AND LOSS REASONABLY INCURRED IN DEFENDING A CIVIL OR CRIMINAL ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING TO WHICH ANY SUCH PERSON SHALL HAVE BECOME SUBJECT BY REASON OF HIS HAVING HELD SUCH A POSITION OR HAVING ALLEGEDLY TAKEN OR OMITTED TO TAKE ANY ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH POSITION.
According to Nevada law (NRS 78.138(7)), all Nevada corporations limit the liability of directors and officers, including acts not in good faith. Our stockholders’ ability to recover damages for fiduciary breaches may be reduced by this statute. In addition our Bylaws indemnify members of the board of directors, our officers, employees, and agents and persons who formerly held such positions, and the legal representatives of any of them, to the fullest extent legally permissible under the general corporation law of the state of Nevada against any or all expense, liability and loss reasonably incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding to which any such person shall have become subject by reason of his having held such a position or having allegedly taken or omitted to take any action in connection with such position.
Risks Related to an Investment in Our Common Stock
WE DO NOT PLANT TO PAY CASH DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
We currently intend to retain all future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. We do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. There is no assurance that stockholders will be able to sell shares when desired.
13 |
NO PUBLIC MARKET CURRENTLY EXISTS FOR SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK, NOR MAY A PUBLIC MARKET EVER EXIST AND OUR SHARES ARE ILLIQUID.
There is currently no public market for our securities and you may not be able to liquidate your investment since there is no assurance that a public market will develop for our common stock or that our common stock will ever be approved for trading on a recognized exchange. Our shares are not and have not been listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system.
“PENNY STOCK” RULES MAY MAKE BUYING OR SELLING OUR COMMON STOCK DIFFICULT.
Trading in our securities, should a public market develop, will most likely be subject to the “penny stock” rules. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules require that any broker-dealer who recommends our securities to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors, must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to execute the transaction. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker- dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our securities. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to certain types of investors are required to comply with the Commission’s regulations concerning the transfer of penny stocks. These regulations require broker- dealers to:
☐ | Make a suitability determination prior to selling a penny stock to the purchaser; |
☐ | Receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction; and |
☐ | Provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser. |
These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.
CONCENTRATED CONTROL RISKS; SHAREHOLDERS COULD BE UNABLE TO CONTROL OR INFLUENCE KEY CORPORATE ACTIONS OR EFFECT CHANGES IN THE COMPANY’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR MANAGEMENT
Our sole officer and Chairman of our Board of Directors, David R. Koos, has voting power over 50,010,000,shares of our common stock, representing approximately 97% of the voting control of the Company as of September 22, 2013 . Mr. Koos is also, as of September 22, 2013 the sole executive officer of the Company. Subsequent to the distribution, Mr. Koos is anticipated to have voting power over 30,010,000,shares of our common stock, representing approximately 58% of the voting control. Mr. Koos therefore has the power to make many major decisions regarding our affairs, including decisions regarding whether or not to issue stock and for what consideration. In addition, due to Mr. Koos voting power, investors in this offering will have limited control over matters requiring approval by our security holders, including the election of directors, whether or not to sell all or substantially all of our assets and for what consideration and whether or not to authorize more stock for issuance or otherwise amend our charter or bylaws.
14 |
BECAUSE WE HAVE ELECTED TO DEFER COMPLIANCE WITH NEW OR REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS PURSUANT TO SECTION 102(b)(1) OF THE JOBS ACT OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENT DISCLOSURE MAY NOT BE COMPARABLE TO SIMILAR COMPANIES.
We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of our election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. .
FUTURE ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES MAY HAVE A DILUTING FACTOR ON EXISTING AND FUTURE SHAREHOLDERS.
The Company plans to meet cash needs through applying for governmental and non-governmental grants as well as selling its securities for cash. The issuance of any additional shares of common stock or convertible securities in a subsequent offering could be substantially dilutive to stockholders of our common stock. Dilution is the difference between what you pay for your stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after the additional shares are sold by us. Holders of our shares of common stock have no preemptive rights as a matter of law that entitle them to purchase their pro-rata share of any offering or shares of any class or series. The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of additional sales of shares of our common stock or the perception that such sales could occur.

BUSINESS
We were incorporated April 24, 2012 under the laws of the State of Nevada. We are a wholly owned subsidiary of Bio-Matrix Scientific Group, Inc, a Delaware corporation.
We intend to engage primarily in the development of regenerative medical applications which we intend to license from other entities up to the point of successful completion of Phase I and or Phase II clinical trials after which we would either attempt to sell or license those developed applications or, alternatively, advance the application further to Phase III clinical trials.
The primary factor to be considered by us in arriving at a decision to advance an application further to Phase III clinical trials would be a greater than anticipated indication of efficacy seen in Phase I trials.

Clinical trials involving new drugs and biologics are commonly classified into three phases. Each phase of the drug approval process is treated as a separate clinical trial and the drug-development process usually advances through all phases over many years. Each phase exposes greater number of subjects to the drug and each phase builds on existing safety and efficacy information. Phase 1 trials are designed to assess the safety and tolerability of a drug or biologic. Phase II trials are designed to assess how well the drug or biologic works, as well as to continue Phase I safety assessments in a larger group of volunteers and patients. Phase III trials are aimed at being the definitive assessment of how effective the drug or biologic is, in comparison with current treatment and to provide an adequate basis for physician labeling. If the drug or biologic successfully passes through Phases I, II, and III, it will usually be approved by the national regulatory authority for use in the general population.

The Company has begun development of HemaXellerate, a cellular drug designed to heal damaged bone marrow. HemaXellerate I(TM) is a patient-specific composition of cells that have been demonstrated to repair damaged bone marrow and stimulate production of blood cells based on previous animal studies. The initial application of HemaXellerate will be the treatment of severe aplastic anemia (AA) which is characterized by immune-mediated bone marrow hypoplasia and pancytopenia. The HemaXellerate treatment consists of the use of autologous stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells extracted from the patient’s own adipose tissue as a treatment for immune suppressant refractory aplastic anemia. SVF preparations contain significant numbers of cellular populations with therapeutic activity that would be relevant to aplastic anemia; namely, a) mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), which suppress pathological immune responses and accelerate hematopoiesis; b) endothelial cells, which assist in repairing damaged bone marrow hematopoietic microenvironment and stimulate hematopoiesis; and c) T regulatory cells, which possess anti-inflammatory properties.
On February 5, 2013 Regen filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the United States Food and Drug Administration to initiate clinical trials assessing the company’s HemaXellerate drug currently in development in patients with drug-refractory aplastic anemia.
Principal Products and Services
HemaXellarate I
The Company has begun development of HemaXellerate I, a cellular therapy designed to heal damaged bone marrow. HemaXellerate I is a patient-specific composition of cells that have been demonstrated to repair damaged bone marrow and stimulate production of blood cells based on previous animal studies. The initial application of HemaXellerate I will be the treatment of severe aplastic anemia which is characterized by immune-mediated bone marrow hypoplasia (underdevelopment or incomplete development of a tissue) and pancytopenia (reduction in the number of blood cells and platelets).
Adipose tissue is collected from the patient and processed in order to separate, extract and isolate Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF), a mix of various cell types including mesenchymal stem cells and endothelial cells. Mesenchymal stem cells are connective tissue cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types and endothelial cells are the cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels and which play a vital role in angiogenesis ( the physiological process through which new blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels).
The isolated SVF is then intravenously administered to the patient. The Company believes that the isolated SVF will generate growth factors with the ability to repair damaged hematopoietic stem cells. Hematopoietic stem cells are immature cells that can develop into all types of blood cells, including white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Hematopoietic stem cells are found in the peripheral blood and the bone marrow.
In the opinion of the Company, the following studies conducted by or on behalf of the Company or by others demonstrate that the composition of cells in HemaXellerate I have been demonstrated to repair damaged bone marrow and stimulate production of blood cells .

Laboratory Experiments | ||||
Experiment | Location Conducted | Dates Conducted | Number of Animals/Runs | Preclinical Data |
Demonstration that endothelial cells stimulate hematopoiesis after bone marrow damage | Dr. William Fleming, Oregon Health Sciences University | 2008-2009 | 37 C57/B6 mice exposed to lethal irradiation and treated with increasing numbers of endothelial cells* | Demonstration of radioprotection by endothelial cells, associated with augmentation of hematopoiesis. Data in patent and also part published in Lei et al.Stem Cell Res. 4(1): 17–24 |
Optimization of Human SVF Isolation and Characterization | Dr. Erik Woods, Cook General Biotechnology | June 2012- August 2012 | 5 human samples of fat processed under various conditions to optimize content of endothelial cells | Protocol developed for optimal content of endothelial cells from human fat, as detected by flow cytometry |
Development of irradiation model of myeloablation in immune compromised mice | Dr. Sophia Khaldoyanidi Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies | Aug-Nov 2012 | 50 C57/B6 and SCID mice treated with various doses of irradiation and administered bone marrow cells as a source of endothelial cells* | Development of a model of bone marrow failure, practical issues learned about bone marrow as a source of endothelial cells, decision to focus on use of adipose tissue as source instead of bone marrow |
Human HemaXellerate Efficacy in Mouse Model | Dr. Wei-Ping Min, University of Western Ontario | Jan-April 2013 | 40 mice treated bone marrow toxin, followed by administration of 3 doses of HemaXellerate or control | Dose dependent demonstration of accelerated hematopoiesis after administration of HemaXellerate |
*“50 C57/B6” is the label of a type of mouse commonly used in research. It is a mouse that possess a functional immune system. In the first experiment described in the table, the mice were treated with a lethal dose of radiation. Radiation kills by destroying the blood making cells of the body. Administration of mouse derived endothelial cells resulted in enhanced survival of the mice after irradiation, which was associated with restoration of blood production. These sets of experiments strongly suggested to us, that endothelial cells protect blood making cells from damage. SCID (severe combined immuno deficient) mice are commonly used in research where a human cell therapeutic product is being tested in a manner to avoid rejection of the cells by the mouse’s immune system. In this segment of the research, human cells were given to the SCID mice subsequent to irradiation, which regenerated the mouse blood making cells. The purpose of the 50 C57/B6 mice and the SCID mice in the research is to demonstrate that mouse derived endothelial cells regenerate blood making cells and that human endothelial cells regenerate blood making cells in mice.

Preclinical studies conducted by the Company consist of the following:
1. | Development of HemaXellerate product. Studies were conducted together with Cook Biotechnology for the establishment of protocols for manufacturing a consistent cellular product based on enzymatic digestion of patient fat tissue, centrifugation, and washing steps. |
2. | Development of Animal model. Sophia Khaldoyanidi, M.D., Ph.D. at the Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Medicine to established the animal model for aplastic anemia and assessed feasibility of endothelial stem cell stimulation of blood cell production. |
3. | Preclinical Demonstration of Efficacy. Data was generated using the model developed from work with Dr. Khaldoyanidi to demonstrate a dose dependent effect of HemaXellerate I on stimulation of new blood cell formation. The study demonstrated accelerated reconstitution of white blood cells production after administration of 5-FU ( a chemical that kills bone marrow stem cells) after HemaXellerate therapy which in the opinion of the Company demonstrates efficacy of HemaXellerate and the cellar components of SVF |
The Company believes that no regulatory approvals are required in order to engage in the preclinical research activities conducted on behalf of the Company described above. No such approvals have been requested nor granted in connection with these activities.
References showing that endothelial cells and endothelial progenitor cells, which comprise 16% of SVF produce growth factors that stimulate blood cell production from bone marrow support the Company’s position that isolated SVF will generate growth factors with the ability to repair damaged hematopoietic stem cells. A study published in the Journal of the International Society for Advancement of Cytometry (Zimmerlin et al. Cytometry Part A 77A: 22:30, 2010) supports the Company’s utilization of fat tissue as an easy to access source of endothelial cell ( other sources for endothelial cells include bone marrow, which is much harder and more painful to extract from patients than fat tissue) and demonstrated that endothelial cells taken from fat tissue are just as viable as those derived from bone marrow.
On February 5, 2013 Regen filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to initiate a Phase I clinical trial assessing HemaXellerate I I in patients with drug-refractory aplastic anemia.The Phase I clinical trial is intended to determine safety and potential efficacy of intravenously administered autologous SVF cells in patients with severe, immune suppressive refractory aplastic anemia with the primary endpoints of safety and feasibility and secondary endpoints of efficacy as determined by patients having complete response, partial response or relapse.
Complete response (CR) will be defined as a neutrophil count greater than 1.5 × 10(9)/L, a platelet count greater than 150 × 10(9)/L, and a hemoglobin level of greater than 110 g/L (11.0 g/dL). Partial response (PR) will be defined by transfusion independence and no longer meeting criteria for severe disease. Relapse is indicated by the requirement for blood transfusion. Toxicity of treatment will be evaluated for the duration of the study and will be graded according to the criteria of the World Health Organization.
It is estimated that the Company will require six to eight months for patient recruitment for the Phase I clinical trial and duration of the Phase I clinical trial is intended to be six months with ten human patients tested. The Phase I clinical trial cannot commence until comments directed to the Company by the FDA with regard to the IND have been addressed by the Company to the FDA’s satisfaction. The total cost to completion of the Phase I clinical trial is estimated by the Company shall be $500,000.
23 |
The Company estimates that the total costs for initiating and completing Phase I, Phase II and Phase III clinical trials with regard to the HemaXellerate I product shall be $6,000,000. The Company’s current intention is to initiate and complete Phase I and Phase II clinical trials with regard toHemaXellerate I and, upon successful completion of a Phase II clinical trial, seek to license the product out to one or more licensees.
Under the Orphan Drug Act, the FDA may designate a product as an orphan drug if it is a previously unapproved drug or biologic intended to treat a rare disease or condition, which is generally defined as a patient population of fewer than 200,000 individuals annually in the United States.Generally, if a product with an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first marketing approval for the indication for which it has such designation, the product is entitled to a seven year period of marketing exclusivity, which precludes the FDA from approving another marketing application for the same drug for that time period. The sponsor of the product would also be entitled to a United States federal tax credit equal to 50% of clinical investigation expenses as well as exemptions from certain fees.
The Company believes that this application of HemaXellerate qualifies for Orphan designation under the Orphan Drug Act due to the fact that aplastic anemia is a rare disease with prevalence in the United States of less than 200,000 and intends to apply to the FDA for Orphan designation for HemaXellerate.
HemaXellerate II
Also in early stage development by the Company is a version of HemaXellerate called HemaXellerate II.
HemaXellerate II is intended to be a universal donor endothelial cell based therapeutic and is intended to be manufactured by obtaining cells from a part of the placenta called the “vascular lobules”. The cells are processed and utilized for the purpose of stimulating bone marrow hematopoetic stem cell repair and proliferation. The mechanism of action for HemaXellerate II is similar to HemaXellerate I whereby the harvested and processed cells would produce growth factors which would mediate the therapeutic effects of the product.
The Company estimates that the amount of time required for the initiation and completion of Phase I and Phase II clinical trials for HemaXellerate II to be three years and total cost of Phase I/Phase II clinical trials for HemaXellerate II is estimated to be $4,600,000. Preclinical development is estimated to require five months at an estimated expense of $210,000. The Company has not begun preclinical development of HemaXellerate II as of September 23, 2013.
dCell Vax
dCellVax is intended to be a therapy whereby dendritic cells of the cancer patient are harvested from the body , treated with plasmid DNA that has the ability to block the dendritic cell from expressing indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (“IDO”) and subsequently reimplanted in the cancer patient.
The dendritic cells that are treated with the IDO-blocking plasmid become resistant to the influence of tumor cells which produce factors which cause the dendritic cell to express the IDO. Expression of IDO on the dendritic cell halts the dendritic cell from activating T cells and causes the dendritic cell to suppress T cells. T lymphocytes (‘T cells”) are a lymphocyte that play a central role in the human immune system’s attempt to eradicate tumors.
The Company is currently in the process of attempting to generate a human equivalent of a mouse plasmid that was successfully used to silence IDO in mice which the Company believes will silence IDO in human cells (“Human Plasmid”) . Upon successful generation of the Human Plasmid, the Company anticipates commencing discussions with the US Food and Drug Administration with regard to the filing of an IND for dCellVax .
24 |
The Company estimates that Phase I/Phase II clinical trials for dCellVax would require approximately four years and expenses incurred in connection with Phase I/Phase II clinical trials for dCellVax would be approximately $5,500,000.
Preclinical experimentation to be performed in connection with the development of dCellVax is estimated to cost approximately $100,000 and have a duration of approximately two months.
The concepts utilized in formulating dCellVax are derived
(a) | from patented intellectual property acquitted by the Company from Dr. Wei Ping Min which is method directed to the silencing of immunosuppressive cancer causing genes using short interfering RNA (siRNA) and which has been granted patent protection under US Patent # 8,389,708 |
(b) | from patented intellectual property licensed to the Company by Benitec* |
The intellectual property acquired from Dr. Wei Ping Min identifies genetic sequences applicable to silencing IDO but doesn’t possess the necessary details to train the cell to produce the inhibitor on its own such details being derived from the Benitec IP which contains the plasmid generated sequences required to generate human plasmids.

Other than obligations to make royalty payments pursuant to the Benitec Agreement, the Company is party to no royalty agreements. We have been granted a trademark for the term HEMAXELLERATE for biological tissue, namely, blood, stem cells, umbilical cords and placentas for scientific and medical research use
Need for any government approval of principal products or services, effect of existing or probable governmental regulations on the business
The US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and foreign regulatory authorities will regulate our proposed products as drugs or biologics, , depending upon such factors as the use to which the product will be put, the chemical composition, and the interaction of the product on the human body. In the United States, products that are intended to be introduced into the body will generally be regulated as drugs, while tissues and cells intended for transplant into the human body will be generally be regulated as biologics.
Our domestic human drug and biological products will be subject to rigorous FDA review and approval procedures. After testing in animals, an Investigational New Drug Application (“IND”) must be filed with the FDA to obtain authorization for human testing. Extensive clinical testing, which is generally done in three phases, must then be undertaken at a hospital or medical center to demonstrate optimal use, safety, and efficacy of each product in humans.
28 |
Phase I
Phase 1 trials are designed to assess the safety (pharmacovigilance), tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of a drug. These trials are often conducted in an inpatient clinic, where the subject can be observed by full-time staff. The subject who receives the drug is usually observed until several half-lives of the drug have passed. Phase I trials normally include dose-ranging, also called dose escalation, studies so that the appropriate dose for therapeutic use can be found. The tested range of doses usually are a fraction of the dose that causes harm in animal testing and involve a small group of healthy volunteers. However, there are some circumstances when real patients are used, such as patients who have end-stage disease and lack other treatment options.
Phase II
Phase II trials are designed to assess how well the drug or biologic works, as well as to continue Phase I safety assessments in a larger group of volunteers and patients. Phase II trials are performed on larger groups.
Phase III
Phase III trials are aimed at being the definitive assessment of how effective the product is in comparison with current best standard treatment and to provide an adequate basis for physician labeling. Phase III trials may also be conducted for the purposes of (i) "label expansion" (to show the product works for additional types of patients/diseases beyond the original use for which the drug was approved for marketing or (ii) to obtain additional safety data, or to support marketing claims for the product.
On occasion Phase IV (Post Approval) trials may be required by the FDA. Phase IV trials involve the safety surveillance (pharmacovigilance) and ongoing technical support of a drug after it receives permission to be sold.The safety surveillance is designed to detect any rare or long-term adverse effects over a much larger patient population and longer time period than was possible during the Phase I-III clinical trials.
All phases, must be undertaken at a hospital or medical center to demonstrate optimal use, safety, and efficacy of each product in humans. Each clinical study is conducted under the auspices of an independent Institutional Review Board (“IRB”). The IRB will consider, among other things, ethical factors, the safety of human subjects, and the possible liability of the institution. The time and expense required to perform this clinical testing can far exceed the time and expense of the research and development initially required to create the product. No action can be taken to market any therapeutic product in the United States until an appropriate New Drug Application (“NDA”) or Biologic License Application (“BLA”) or has been approved by the FDA. FDA regulations also restrict the export of therapeutic products for clinical use prior to NDA or BLA approval.
Even after initial FDA approval has been obtained, further studies may be required to provide additional data on safety or to gain approval for the use of a product as a treatment for clinical indications other than those initially targeted. In addition, use of these products during testing and after marketing could reveal side effects that could delay, impede, or prevent FDA marketing approval, resulting in FDA-ordered product recall, or in FDA-imposed limitations on permissible uses.
The FDA regulates the manufacturing process of pharmaceutical products, and human tissue and cell products, requiring that they be produced in compliance with Current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”) . The FDA also regulates the content of advertisements used to market pharmaceutical products. Generally, claims made in advertisements concerning the safety and efficacy of a product, or any advantages of a product over another product, must be supported by clinical data filed as part of an NDA or an amendment to an NDA, and statements regarding the use of a product must be consistent with the FDA approved labeling and dosage information for that product.
29 |
Sales of drugs and biologics outside the United States are subject to foreign regulatory requirements that vary widely from country to country. Even if FDA approval has been obtained, approval of a product by comparable regulatory authorities of foreign countries must be obtained prior to the commencement of marketing the product in those countries. The time required to obtain such approval may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval.
On February 5, 2013 Regen filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the United States Food and Drug Administration to initiate clinical trials assessing the company’s HemaXellerate I drug currently in development in patients with drug-refractory aplastic anemia. Regen is currently in the process of responding to comments made to Regen by the FDA with regard to the IND including the compiling of sufficient preclinical data to allow an adequate assessment of the overall risk/benefit in the proposed population and support the safety and potential activity of the cell dose level proposed for clinical administration. The clinical trial for which the IND was submitted may not commence until all comments are addressed to the satisfaction of the FDA.
Amount spent during the period from inception to September 30, 2012 , the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 and the three months ended December 31, 2013 on research and development activities
During the period from inception to September 30, 2012 we expended $17,715 on research and development activities.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 we expended $8,394 on research and development activities.
During the three months ended December 31, 2013 we expended $5,825 on research and development activities.
Costs and effects of compliance with environmental laws (federal, state and local);
Regen has not incurred any unusual or significant costs to remain in compliance with any environmental laws and does not expect to incur any unusual or significant costs to remain in compliance with any environmental laws in the foreseeable future.
Number of total employees and number of full-time employees
As of January 8 , 201 4 Regen has 3 employees of which 3 are considered by Regen to be full time.

REGEN BIOPHARMA, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
As of December 31, 2013
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Regen BioPharma, Inc. (“Company”) was organized April 24, 2012 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bio-Matrix Scientific Group, Inc, a Delaware corporation.
The Company intends to engage primarily in the development of regenerative medical applications which we intend to license from other entities up to the point of successful completion of Phase I and or Phase II clinical trials after which we would either attempt to sell or license those developed applications or, alternatively, advance the application further to Phase III clinical trials
A. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The financial statements have been prepared using the basis of accounting generally accepted in the United States of America. Under this basis of accounting, revenues are recorded as earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. The Company has adopted a September 30 year-end.
B. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
C. DEVELOPMENT STAGE
The Company is a development stage company devoting substantially all of its efforts to establish a new business.
D. CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
E. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are expensed in the year in which they are incurred. Expenditures that enhance the value of property and equipment are capitalized.
F. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required by the standard that the Company uses to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
G. INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company applied the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, “Accounting For Uncertainty In Income Taxes”, which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in our financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company’s liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company’s results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of December 31 2012 the Company had no uncertain tax positions, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future.
The Company generated a deferred tax credit through net operating loss carry forward. However, a valuation allowance of 100% has been established.
Interest and penalties on tax deficiencies recognized in accordance with ACS accounting standards are classified as income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10-50-19.
H. BASIC EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 260, "Earnings Per Share", which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings (loss) per share for entities with publicly held common stock. ASC 260 requires the presentation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 260 effective from inception.
Basic net loss per share amounts is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
I. ADVERTISING
Costs associated with advertising are charged to expense as incurred. Advertising expenses were $0 for the quarter ended December 31 , 2013 and $0 for the twelve months ended September 30 , 2013.
NOTE 2 . RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The following accounting standards updates were recently issued and have not yet been adopted by us. These standards are currently under review to determine their impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
On January 31, 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update [ASU] 2013-01, entitled Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The guidance in ASU 2013-01 amends the requirements in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification [FASB ASC] Topic 210, entitled Balance Sheet. The ASU 2013-01 amendments to FASB ASC 210 clarify that ordinary trade receivables and receivables in general are not within the scope of ASU 2011-11, entitled Disclosure about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, where that ASU amended the guidance in FASB ASC 210. As those disclosures now are modified with the ASU 2013-01 amendments, the FASB ASC 210 balance sheet offsetting disclosures now clearly are applicable only where reporting entities are involved with bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions that either are offset using the FASB ASC 210 or 815 requirements, or that are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements. ASU 2013-01 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
On February 28, 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update [ASU] 2013-04, entitled Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date. The ASU 2013-04 amendments add to the guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification [FASB ASC] Topic 405, entitled Liabilities and require reporting entities to measure obligations resulting from certain joint and several liability arrangements where the total amount of the obligation is fixed as of the reporting date, as the sum of the following:
The amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among co-obligors.
Any additional amounts the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors.
While early adoption of the amended guidance is permitted, for public companies, the guidance is required to be implemented in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments need to be implemented retrospectively to all prior periods presented for obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements that exist at the beginning of the year of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial position.
On April 22, 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update [ASU] 2013-07, entitled Liquidation Basis of Accounting. With ASU 2013-07, the FASB amends the guidance in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification [FASB ASC] Topic 205, entitled Presentation of Financial Statements. The amendments serve to clarify when and how reporting entities should apply the liquidation basis of accounting. The guidance is applicable to all reporting entities, whether they are public or private companies or not-for-profit entities. The guidance also provides principles for the recognition of assets and liabilities and disclosures, as well as related financial statement presentation requirements. The requirements in ASU 2013-07 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods. Reporting entities are required to apply the requirements in ASU 2013-07 prospectively from the day that liquidation becomes imminent. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-07 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial position.
A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, the Company’s management has not determined whether implementation of such standards would be material to its financial statements.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. the Company generated net losses of $ 731,753 during the period from April 24, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2013. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to meet its obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management plans to raise additional funds by offering securities for cash. Management has yet to decide what type of offering the Company will use or how much capital the Company will raise. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise any capital through any type of offerings.
NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES
As of December 31, 2013
Deferred tax assets: | ||||
Net operating tax carry forwards | $ | 248,796 | ||
Other | -0- | |||
Gross deferred tax assets | 248,796 | |||
Valuation allowance | (248,796) | ) | ||
Net deferred tax assets | $ | -0- |
As of December 31, 2013 the Company has a Deferred Tax Asset of $248,796 completely attributable to net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $ 731,753 ( which expire 20 years from the date the loss was incurred) ..
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carry forwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. The achievement of required future taxable income is uncertain. As a result, the Company has the Company recorded a valuation allowance reducing all deferred tax assets to 0.
Income tax is calculated at the 34% Federal Corporate Rate.
NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As of December 31, 2013 the Company has received capital contributions from its parent totaling $492,858 and has issued 50,010, 000 common shares to its parent fro aggregate consideration of $20,090.

The Chief Executive Officer of Entest Biomedical Inc. is David R. Koos who also serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company’s parent.
On August 20, 2013 the Company issued 1,500,000 common shares to the holder of one of its parent’s convertible notes (“Parent Convertible Note Holder”) in satisfaction of $70,198 owed by the Company’s parent to the Parent Convertible Note Holder. During the three months ended December 31, 2013

(3) the Company has paid $6,369 of expenses incurred by the Company’s parent on its behalf.
NOTE6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Regen BioPharma, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Regen BioPharma, Inc.(A Development Stage Company) as of September 30, 2012 and 2013, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows since inception on April 24, 2012 through September 30, 2013. Regen BioPharma, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal 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 company’s 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Regen BioPharma, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of September 30, 2012 and 2013, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity (deficit), since inception on April 24, 2012 through September 30, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has no revenues, has negative working capital since inception on April 24, 2012 through September 30, 2013, has incurred recurring losses and recurring negative cash flow from operating activities, and has an accumulated deficit which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
As of September 30, 2013
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Regen Biopharma , Inc. (“Company”) was organized April 24, 2012 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bio Matrix Scientific Group, Inc, a Delaware corporation.
The Company intends to engage primarily in the development of regenerative medical applications which we intend to license from other entities up to the point of successful completion of Phase I and or Phase II clinical trials after which we would either attempt to sell or license those developed applications or, alternatively, advance the application further to Phase III clinical trials
A. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The financial statements have been prepared using the basis of accounting generally accepted in the United States of America. Under this basis of accounting, revenues are recorded as earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. The Company has adopted a September 30 year-end.
B. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
C. DEVELOPMENT STAGE
The Company is a development stage company devoting substantially all of its efforts to establish a new business.
D. CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
E. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are expensed in the year in which they are incurred. Expenditures that enhance the value of property and equipment are capitalized.
F. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required by the standard that the Company uses to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
42 |
G. INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company applied the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, “Accounting For Uncertainty In Income Taxes”, which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in our financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company’s liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company’s results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of December 31 2012 the Company had no uncertain tax positions, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future.
The Company generated a deferred tax credit through net operating loss carry forward. However, a valuation allowance of 100% has been established.
Interest and penalties on tax deficiencies recognized in accordance with ACS accounting standards are classified as income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10-50-19.
H. BASIC EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 260, "Earnings Per Share", which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings (loss) per share for entities with publicly held common stock. ASC 260 requires the presentation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 260 effective from inception.
Basic net loss per share amounts is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
I. ADVERTISING
Costs associated with advertising are charged to expense as incurred. Advertising expenses were $0 for the twelve months ended September 30 , 2013 and $0 for the twelve months ended September 30 , 2012.
NOTE 2 . RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs." The amendments in this update generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in this update are to be applied prospectively. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is not permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, "Presentation of Comprehensive Income." This update was amended in December 2011 by ASU No. 2011-12, "Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05." This update defers only those changes in update 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. All other requirements in update 2011-05 are not affected by this update, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. ASU No. 2011-05 and 2011-12 are effective for fiscal years (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
43 |
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities." The amendments in this update require enhanced disclosures around financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company does not expect this guidance to have any impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment is applicable to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted. The Company does not expect this ASU has a material impact on its financial position or carrying value of its intangible assets at this time.
A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, the Company’s management has not determined whether implementation of such standards would be material to its financial statements.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. the Company generated net losses of $ 522,224 during the period from April 24, 2012 (inception) through September 30, 2013. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to meet its obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management plans to raise additional funds by offering securities for cash. Management has yet to decide what type of offering the Company will use or how much capital the Company will raise. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise any capital through any type of offerings.
On September 30, 2013 the Company sold 100,000 of its common shares for consideration consisting of $100,000.
NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES
As of September 30, 2013
Deferred tax assets: | ||||
Net operating tax carry forwards | $ | 175,556 | ||
Other | -0- | |||
Gross deferred tax assets | 175,556 | |||
Valuation allowance | (175,556) | ) | ||
Net deferred tax assets | $ | -0- |
As of September 30 , 2013 the Company has a Deferred Tax Asset of $175,556 completely attributable to net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $ 522,224 ( which expire 20 years from the date the loss was incurred) .
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carry forwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. The achievement of required future taxable income is uncertain. As a result, the Company has the Company recorded a valuation allowance reducing all deferred tax assets to 0.

Income tax is calculated at the 34% Federal Corporate Rate.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Critical Accounting Policies
Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies. We have elected to take advantage of this extended transition period, and thus, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of other reporting companies
For the Three months ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012
Revenues were $0 during the three months ended December 31, 2013. Net Losses were $209,529 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. Revenues were $0 during the three months ended December 31, 2012. Net Losses were $91,839 for the three months ended December 31, 2012.
The increase in Net Losses of approximately 102% is primarily attributable to
(1) an increase in Research and Development expenses of 7.9% for the period ending December 31, 2013 when compared to the period ending December 31, 2012
(2) an increase in General and Administrative expenses of 49.9% for the period ending December 31, 2013 when compared to the period ending December 31, 2012
(3) an increase in Consulting expenses of 100% for the period ending December 31, 2013 when compared to the period ending December 31, 2012
(4) an increase in expenses incurred as a result of capital contributions made by the company to its Parent of 100% for the period ending December 31, 2013 when compared to the period ending December 31, 2012
For the Year ended September 30, 2013 and the period from inception to September 30, 2012
Revenues were $0 during the year ended September 30, 2013. Net Losses were $355,034 for the year ended September 30, 2013.
The largest component of net losses were $225,754 in compensation expenses paid to Thomas Ichim and J. Christopher Mizer. The second largest component of Net Losses was $70,198 recognized as an expense attributable to the issuance of 1,500,000 common shares to the holder of one of BMSN’s convertible notes (“Parent Convertible Note Holder”) in satisfaction of $70,198 owed by BMSN to the Parent Convertible Note Holder.
During the year ended September 30, 2013 the Company recognized other income in the amount of $35,000 deriving from the refunding to Regen of $35,000 by Oregon Health and Science University resulting from the termination of that June 5 2013 Agreement by and between Regen and Oregon Health and Science University.
47 |
Revenues were $0 during the period from inception to September 30, 2012. Net Losses were $167,190 for the period from inception to September 30, 2012. The largest components of net losses were:
(a) | $124,671 in compensation expense related to Thomas Ichim and J. Christopher Mizer |
(b) | $17,640 in consulting fees paid to Cascade Life Sciences, Inc., a contract research organization, for preclinical studies conducted |
(c) | $5,000 in fees to Oregon Health and Sciences University (“OHSU”) pursuant to an option agreement entered into by and between the Company and OHSU on June 5, 2012. |
No meaningful comparison can be made between the year ended September 30, 2013 and the period from inception to September 30, 2012 due to the fact that the period from inception to September 30 , 2012 consisted solely of 160 days.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s cash and liquidity resources have been provided by stock sales to and capital contributions from BMSN, its parent. For the period from inception to September 30, 2013 the Company has sold 50,010,000 common shares to BMSN for total proceeds of $20,090 and for the period from inception to December 3 1 , 2013 BMSN has made capital contributions to the company in the form of cash or expenses paid for or assumed by BMSN on Regen’s behalf in the total amount of $ 492,858 .
On September 30, 2013 the Company sold 100,000 of its common shares for consideration of $100,000.
On October 14, 2013 theCompany sold 100,000 of its common shares for consideration of $100,000.
On November 15, 2013 theCompany sold 100,000 of its common shares for consideration of $100,000.
On December 12, 2013 theCompany sold 100,000 of its common shares for consideration of $100,000.
The Company has historically met its cash needs primarily through capital contributions made by BMSN and anticipates continuing to do so for the period beginning October 1, 2013 and ending March 31, 2014. The Company also plans to meet cash needs through applying for governmental and non-governmental grants as well as selling its securities for cash.Management has yet to decide what type of offering the Company will use or how much capital the Company will raise. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise any capital through any type of offerings. Management can give no assurance that any governmental or non-governmental grant will be obtained by the Company despite the Company’s best efforts. As of February 19, 2014 The Company has identified the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute Clinical Trial Pilot Studies (R34) grant which provides up to $450,000 in funding over a period of three years as well as the Omnibus Solicitation of the NIH for Small Business Technology Transfer Grant Applications administered by the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program of the National Institute of Health as grants for which the Company intends to apply.
We cannot assure that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing necessary to implement our business plan. We have not received any commitment or expression of interest from any financing source that has given us any assurance that we will obtain the amount of additional financing in the future that we currently anticipate. For these and other reasons, we are not able to assure that we will obtain any additional financing or, if we are successful, that we can obtain any such financing on terms that may be reasonable in light of our current circumstances.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Code of Ethics
On September 25, 2013 we adopted a Code of Ethics pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Director Independence
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
The members of the Company’s board of Directors may not be considered independent. The Company is not a "listed company" under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and is therefore not required to have an audit committee comprised of independent directors. The Company does not currently have an audit committee, however, for certain purposes of the rules and regulations of the SEC and in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors is deemed to be its audit committee and as such functions as an audit committee and performs some of the same functions as an audit committee including: (1) selection and oversight of our independent accountant; (2) establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters; and (3) engaging outside advisors. The Board of Directors has determined that its member is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements and has substantial business experience that results in that member's financial sophistication. Accordingly, the Board of Directors believes that its member has the sufficient knowledge and experience necessary to fulfill the duties and obligations that an audit committee would have.
Nominating and Compensation Committees
The Company does not have standing nominating or compensation committees, or committees performing similar functions. The board of directors believes that it is not necessary to have a compensation committee at this time because the functions of such committee are adequately performed by the board of directors. The board of directors also is of the view that it is appropriate for the Company not to have a standing nominating committee because the board of directors has performed and will perform adequately the functions of a nominating committee. The Company is not a "listed company" under SEC rules and is therefore not required to have a compensation committee or a nominating committee.
Shareholder Communications
There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors. There are no specific, minimum qualifications that the board of directors believes must be met by a candidate recommended by the board of directors. Currently, the entire board of directors decides on nominees, on the recommendation of any member of the board of directors followed by the board’s review of the candidates’ resumes and interview of candidates. Based on the information gathered, the board of directors then makes a decision on whether to recommend the candidates as nominees for director. The Company does not pay any fee to any third party or parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominee.
Because the Chief Executive Officer of the Company is also the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Board of Directors has determined not to adopt a formal methodology for communications from shareholders on the belief that any communication would be brought to the Board of Directors’ attention by virtue of the co-extensive capacities of the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

UNDERTAKINGS
The Registrant hereby undertakes the following:
(a)(1) To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) include any Prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement, but notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) include any additional or changed material information of the plan of distribution.
65 |
For (2) determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
File a (3) post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 24 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification relative to alleged Securities Act violations (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person, the Registrant will submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(c) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
