Biostem U.S. Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amended Report”) to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 31, 2011 that was originally filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 17, 2011 (the “Original Quarterly Report”) for the purposes of amending and restating Item 4: Controls and Procedures to provide the conclusions of the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, regarding the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, as required by Item 307 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Other than discussed above, no other changes have been made to the Original Quarterly Report. This Amendment Report speaks as of the original filing date of the Original Report, does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the original filing date, and does not modify or update in any way disclosures made in the original Form 10-Q, except with regard to Item 4: Controls and Procedures.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements made in this Form 10-Q that are not historical or current facts are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements often can be identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “approximate” or “continue,” or the negative thereof. We intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors for such statements. We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Any forward-looking statements represent management’s best judgment as to what may occur in the future. However, forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and important factors beyond our control that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from historical results of operations and events and those presently anticipated or projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements are the following: the Company’s ability to obtain necessary capital, the Company’s ability to meet anticipated development timelines, the Company’s ability to protect its proprietary technology and knowhow; the Company’s ability to identify and develop a network of licensed physicians, the Company’s ability to establish a global market, clinical trial results, the Company’s ability to successfully consummate future acquisitions and such other risk factors identified from time to time in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those filed with this Form 10-Q quarterly report. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of August 31, 2011, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”) conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on its evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. This does not include an evaluation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Certifying Officers have determined the weakness is a result of a lack of written procedures which effectively document the proper procedures and descriptions of the duties of all persons involved in the internal controls of the Company. The Company hopes to implement plans to document the procedures and internal controls of the Company. However, we presently have limited resources, which limits our ability to have thorough management oversight and to fully review control documentation.
Our management believes that the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
