PROTEO INC | 2013 | FY | 3


DEVELOPMENT STAGE 

 

The Company has been in the development stage since it began operations on November 22, 2000 and has not generated any revenues from operations and has incurred net losses since inception of approximately $9,309,000. There is no assurance of any future revenues.

 

The Company will require substantial additional funding for continuing research and development, obtaining regulatory approval, and for the commercialization of its products.

 

Management has taken action to address these matters. They include:

 

  · Retention of experienced management personnel with particular skills in the development of such products.

 

  · Attainment of technology to develop biotech products.

 

  · Raising additional funds through the sale of debt and/or equity securities.

 

The Company's products, to the extent they may be deemed drugs or biologics, are governed by the United States Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act and the regulations of state and various foreign government agencies. The Company's proposed pharmaceutical products to be used with humans are subject to certain clearance procedures administered by the above regulatory agencies. There can be no assurance that the Company will receive the regulatory approvals required to market its proposed products elsewhere or that the regulatory authorities will review the product within the average period of time.

 

Management plans to generate revenues from product sales, but there are no purchase commitments for any of the proposed products. Additionally, the Company may generate revenues from out-licensing activities. There can be no assurance that further out-licensing may be achieved and may generate significant profit. In the absence of significant sales and profits, the Company may seek to raise additional funds to meet its working capital requirements through the additional placement of debt and/or sales of equity securities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds when needed, or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company.
