SECTION 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Securities Purchase Agreement
On August 13, 2010, we sold 4,032,258 shares of our common stock as part of a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to an Initial partial closing of a Private Placement Offering. We received aggregate gross proceeds from the Purchasers of $2,500,000 from the sale of the common stock.
The Purchasers are entitled to certain contractual benefits under the Securities Purchase Agreement, which are summarized as follows:
|
§
|
For as long as any Purchaser holds our securities, the right to participate in any subsequent financing of our company;
|
|
§
|
For as long as any Purchaser holds our securities, restrictions on our ability to issue securities that are convertible into common stock at some future or variable price; and
|
|
§
|
For twelve months, restrictions on our ability to undertake a reverse or forward stock split of our common stock.
|
Further under the Securities Purchase Agreement, we are permitted to issue common shares that are exempt from the above restrictions in certain instances, including limited issuances to employees, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan.
Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement that accompanies the Securities Purchase Agreement, we agreed to file an initial registration statement covering the resale of the common stock no later than 45 days from the closing of the complete Offering and to have such registration statement declared effective no later than 180 days from filing of the registration statement. The Private Placement Offering is still in process and is not expected to close until September 4, subject to a possible 30 day board extension. If we do not timely file the registration statement, cause it to be declared effective by the required date, or maintain the filing, then each Purchaser in the offering will be entitled to liquidated damages equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Purchaser for the securities, and an additional 1% for each month that we do not file the registration statement, cause it to be declared effective, of fail to maintain the filing.
The foregoing is not a complete summary of the terms of the offering described in this Item 1.01, and reference is made to the complete text of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2.

Lonza Agreement
Under the Know How License and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Lonza Agreement”) that we signed with Lonza Walkersville, Inc. (“Lonza”), upon the payment of $3 million to Lonza we will receive an exclusive license to use certain proprietary know-how and information necessary to develop and seek approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the commercial sale of PermaDerm™, and Lonza will provide us with certain related assistance and support. We have previously paid Lonza a total of $700,000 toward this Agreement. Following the Initial Closing of the above stock sale, we directed our escrow agent to disperse the remaining $2,300,000 to Lonza to fulfill our obligations under the Lonza Agreement.
PermaDerm™ is the only tissue-engineered skin prepared from autologous (patient’s own) skin cells. It is a combination of cultured epithelium with a collagen-fibroblast implant that produces a skin substitute that contains both epidermal and dermal components. This model has been shown in preclinical studies to generate a functional skin barrier, and in clinical studies to promote closure and healing of burns. Critically, self-to-self skin grafts for permanent skin tissue is not rejected by the immune system of the patient, unlike with porcine or cadaver grafts in which rejection is an important possibility.
We believe we can create and implement a successful strategy to conduct additional human clinical trials and to assemble and present other relevant information and data in order to obtain the necessary approvals for PermaDerm™ and possible related products.
Lock-up Agreements and Reserve for Equity Incentive Plan
At the Initial partial Close of the Private Placement Offering, all officers, directors and key employees of our company, as well as any 5% holders of our securities, entered into lock-up agreements with us for a term of 12 months whereby they agreed to certain restrictions on the sale or disposition of all the common shares held by them.
Our CEO, Randall McCoy further agreed to restrict the sale of 11,288,850 shares of his common stock representing 20% of the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by him, until such time as we receive approval from the FDA for the commercial sale of PermaDerm™.
Mr. McCoy also agreed to cancel and return to our treasury 4,428,360 shares of his common stock to off-set the potential dilution caused by an equity incentive plan for directors involving the same number of shares that we intend to adopt in the near future.

SECTION 3 – Securities and Trading Markets
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K that relates to the unregistered sales of equity securities is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.
Aside from the $2,500,000 that was raised in the Initial partial Closing of the Private Placement Offering described in Item 1.01, we converted our senior secured convertible promissory notes (the “Bridge Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $750,000 that were previously issued to ten accredited investors into common stock. The Bridge Notes provided for a conversion rate of one share per $0.465 of principal and interest. These conversion terms effectively represent a 25% discount to the purchase price per share in the Private Placement Offering. As such, we issued 1,559,140 shares of our common stock to the note holders.
NewOak Capital Markets LLC and Smith Point Capital, Ltd. acted as placement agents with respect to the Offering and agreed to exchange their Offering fee of3.5% of the aggregate amount raised into an Offering Subscription at the price per share equal to the other purchasers in the Offering.
The common stock was offered solely to “accredited investors” in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
