MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007


The following information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the SEC.

 

Overview

 

We are a financial services company which coaches and assists biomedical companies through the use of our network of professionals in listing their securities on over the counter or national exchanges. Typically these services are provided to early stage biomedical companies who can benefit from our network of professionals and other partners. As a result of our clients’ early stage of development, they typically have limited resources and compensate us for our services in capital stock. Accordingly, although our primary business is to provide consulting services and not to be engaged, directly or through wholly-owned subsidiaries, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities, we may nonetheless be considered an investment company as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act). In order to lessen the regulatory restrictions associated with the requirements of the 1940 Act, on June 16, 2005 we elected to be treated as a Business Development Company (BDC) in accordance with sections 55 through 65 of the 1940 Act.

 

Managerial Assistance

 

As a business development company we will offer and provide upon request managerial assistance to certain of our portfolio companies.  As defined under the 1940 Act, managerial assistance means providing “significant guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations, or business objectives and policies of a portfolio company.”  

 

Financial Condition Overview

 

The Company's total assets were $3,737,770 and its net assets were $2,424,900 at December 31, 2007, compared to $2,744,472 and $1,003,495, respectively, at December 31, 2006.

 

The changes in total assets during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 were primarily attributable to an increase in unrealized appreciation of our portfolio investment value of $1,693,926. The Company's unrealized appreciation (depreciation) varies significantly from period to period as a result of the wide fluctuations in value of the Company's portfolio securities. For example, the Company suffered an unrealized loss of $145,000 on its holdings of SuperOxide Health Sciences for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 as a result of a decline in the value of the portfolio shares from $145,000 to $0 during such time period. By contrast, the Company incurred an unrealized gain as a result of the Securities and Exchange Commission declaring Neuralstem, Inc’s registration statement effective on August 30, 2006. Prior to being declared effective, the Company was at risk of potentially forfeiting up to 1,000,000 Neuralstem shares and the shares it did own were greatly diminished in value as a result of no public market for such shares. This resulted in an increase in the value of the Neuralstem, Inc. shares to $2,741,430 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 as compared to $50,000 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2005.

 

The increase in net assets during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 was primarily attributable to the increase in the value assigned to Neuralstem stock, and a reduction in current liabilities of $428,107. The reduction in current liabilities was primarily due to decreases in a dividend payable and contingent litigation fees that more than offset an increase in notes payable to an officer/principal shareholder of the Company.

 

The Company's financial condition is dependent on a number of factors including the ability of each portfolio company to effectuate its respective strategies with the Company's help. These businesses are frequently thinly capitalized, unproven, small companies that may lack management depth, and may be dependent on new or commercially unproven technologies, and may have no operating history.

Result of Operations for the twelve month periods ending December 31, 2007 and 2006

 

Investment Income

 

We anticipate generating revenue in the form of capital gains or losses on equity securities that we acquire in portfolio companies and subsequently sell. Potentially, we also anticipate receiving dividend income on any common or preferred stock that we own should a dividend be declared.
 

Investment Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $0 and $0, respectively.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our operating expenses consist mostly of fees paid to outside attorneys, consultants, and accountants in connection with the advisory services we provide our clients and to a lesser extent for general overhead.

 

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, operating expenses were $445,596 compared to $779,206 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2006. The decrease of $333,610 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2007 as compared to the comparable period of 2006 is primarily attributable to decreases in professional service fees and stock options, as well as the elimination of the reserve for anticipated litigation fees.

 

We anticipate that operational expenses will increase upon the addition of more companies to our portfolio.

 

Net Investment Income/Loss

 

For the twelve months ending December 31, 2007, net investment loss was $436,396 compared to $780,006 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2006. The 2007 amount consisted primarily of professional services and consulting fees and general overhead. The decrease of $343,610 in the twelve month period ending December 31, 2007 as compared to the comparable period ended December 31, 2006 is primarily attributable to the factors discussed above.

 

We anticipate our net investment loss will increase upon the addition of more companies to our portfolio, and as we hold the securities of our portfolio companies for long term capital growth.

 

Result of Operations for the twelve month periods ending December 31, 2006 and 2005

 

Investment Income

 

Investment Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $0 and $0, respectively.

 

Operating Expenses

 

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, operating expenses were $779,206 compared to $220,418 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2005. The increase of $558,788 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the comparable period of 2005 is primarily attributable to increases in professional service fees, stock option expenses and general and administrative expenses stemming from increased activity in managing our portfolio companies, as well as an increase in the reserve for anticipated litigation fees.

 

Net Investment Income/Loss

 

For the twelve months ending December 31, 2006, net investment loss was $780,006 compared to $222,060 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2005. The 2006 amount consisted primarily of professional services and

 

10



consulting fees and general overhead. The increase of $557,946 in the twelve month period ending December 31, 2006 as compared to the comparable period ended December 31, 2007 is primarily attributable to the factors discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At December 31, 2007, we had approximately $3,675,270 in liquid and semi liquid assets consisting of: (i) $64,262 in cash; and (ii) $3,611,008 in saleable marketable securities.

  

For the twelve month period ended December 31, 2007, we satisfied our working capital needs from: (i) cash on hand at the beginning of the period; (ii) the sale of marketable securities in the amount of $67,250, (iii) an increase in a note payable to one of our officers in the amount of $413,500 and (iv) an increase in accounts payable/accrued expenses of $195,957. As of December 31, 2007 the Company had a Net Asset Value of $2,424,900.

 

As of December 31, 2007, the aggregate outstanding balance under the officer loan is $650,794. Such loan is a demand loan and secured by a pledge of 600,000 shares of Neuralstem (“Collateral Shares”) currently owned by the Company. In the event the note holder made a demand for repayment, the Company’s working capital would be insufficient for such repayment. In such event, the Company would be required to either: (i) sell shares of Neuralstem which it currently owns; or (ii) default on the obligation whereby the note holder would have the right to receive the Collateral Shares in order to satisfy the outstanding balance.

 

From inception, the Company has relied on the infusion of capital through capital share transactions and loans. The Company plans to either: (i) dispose of its current portfolio securities to meet operational needs; or (ii) borrow against such securities via a traditional margin account or other such credit facility. Any such dispositions may have to be made at inopportune times and there is no assurance that, in light of the lack of liquidity in such shares, they could be sold at all, or if sold, could bring values approximating the estimates of fair value set forth in the Company financial statements. Additionally, in the event the Company enters into a margin agreement with regard to any portfolio securities, a decrease in their market value may result in a liquidation of such securities which could greatly depress the value of such securities in the market. The Company's current monthly cash burn rate is approximately $30,000. Because our revenues, if generated, tend to be in the form of portfolio securities, such revenues are not of a type capable of being used to satisfy the Company's ongoing monthly expenses. Consequently, for us to be able to avoid having to defer expenses or sell portfolio companies' securities to raise cash to pay operating expenses we are constantly seeking to secure adequate funding under acceptable terms. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. Further, if the Company is unable to secure adequate funding under acceptable terms, there is substantial doubt that the Company can continue as a going concern.

Neuralstem has developed and maintains a portfolio of patents and patent applications that form the proprietary base for their research and development efforts in the area of neural stem cell research. Neuralstem, Inc. has ownership or exclusive licensing of four issued patents and 13 patent pending applications in the field of regenerative medicine and related technologies.


The field in which Neuralstem focuses on is young and emerging. There can be no assurances that their intellectual property portfolio will ultimately produce viable commercialized products and processes. Even if they are able to produce a commercially viable product, there are strong competitors in this field and their product may not be able to successfully compete against them.


As of September 30, 2008, the Company holds 655,000 shares of Neuralstem, Inc. common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $5.00 per share.


American Stem Cell Corporation


American Stem Cell Corporation ("ASCC") is a private development stage company with plans to acquire stem cell companies and technologies. In January of 2006, we were notified that ASC's expected acquisition of its initial stem cell company had failed. We understand that ASCC is still searching for a business to acquire, but has limited resources and no firm plans.


As of September 30, 2008, we hold 1,000,000 shares of ASCC common stock. For purposes of portfolio valuation, our investment committee has valued the investment at $0.00 because the stock has no market value and is no longer listed as an investment asset.


Employees


We have one part-time employee. We expect to use independent consultants, attorneys, and accountants as necessary and we do not anticipate a need to engage any additional full-time employees as long as business needs are being identified and evaluated. The need for employees and their availability will be addressed in connection with a decision concerning whether or not to acquire or participate in a specific business venture.


Compliance with BDC Reporting Requirements


The Board of Directors of the Company, comprising a majority of Independent Directors, adopted in March 2006 a number of resolutions, codes and charters to complete compliance with BDC operating requirements prior to reporting as a BDC.  These include establishing Board committees for Audit, Nominating, Compensation, Investment, and Corporate Governance, and adopting a Code of Ethics, an Audit Committee Charter and an Investment Committee Charter.

Code of Ethics: The Code of Ethics in general prohibits any officer, director or advisory person (collectively, "Access Person") of the Company from acquiring any interest in any security which the Company (i) is considering a purchase or sale thereof,  (ii) is being purchased or sold by the Company, or (iii) is being sold short by the Company.  The Access Person is required to advise the Company in writing of his or her acquisition or sale of any such security. The Company's Code of Ethics is posted on our website at www.regal1.com.


Audit Committee: The primary responsibility of the Audit Committee is to oversee the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the Company's Board of Directors and report the result of its activities to the Board.  Such responsibilities shall include but not be limited to the selection, and if necessary, the replacement of the Company's independent auditors; the review and discussion with such independent auditors and the Company's internal audit department of (i) the overall scope and plans for the audit, (ii) the adequacy and effectiveness of the accounting and financial controls, including the Company's system to monitor and manage business risks, and legal and ethical programs, and (iii) the results of the annual audit, including the financial statements to be included  in  the  Company's  annual  report  on Form 10-K.


The Company's Audit and Compensation Committee is comprised of one director. We anticipate that additional board members will be admitted and will augment the current audit committee. At present, we do not have a qualified financial expert because we have not been able to identify and retain a qualified candidate.


Investment Committee: The Investment Committee shall have oversight responsibility with respect to reviewing and overseeing the Company's contemplated investments and portfolio companies on behalf of the Board and shall report the results of their activities to the Board.  Such Investment Committee shall (i) have the ultimate authority for and responsibility to evaluate and recommend investments, and (ii) review and discuss with management (a) the performance of portfolio companies, (b) the diversity and risk of the Company's investment portfolio, and, where appropriate, make recommendations respecting the role, divestiture or addition of portfolio investments and (c) all solicited and unsolicited offers to purchase portfolio company positions. The Company's Investment Committee Charter is filed as an exhibit to this Form 10-K.


Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002


The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 imposes a wide variety of new regulatory requirements on publicly held companies and their insiders including for example:


-

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer must now certify the accuracy of the

financial statements contained in our periodic reports;


-

Periodic reports must disclose our conclusions about the effectiveness of our controls and

procedures;


-

Our periodic reports must disclose whether there were significant changes in our internal

controls or in other factors that could  significantly affect these controls subsequent to the

date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant

deficiencies and material weaknesses; and


-

The Company may not make any loan to any director or executive officer and we may not

materially modify any existing loans.


The Sarbanes-Oxley Act required us to review our current policies and procedures to determine whether we comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the new regulations promulgated within the regulations stated in the SOX Act of 2002.  We will continue to monitor our compliance with all future regulations that are adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and will take actions necessary to ensure that we are in compliance therewith.


Financial Condition Overview


The Company's total assets were $927,476 and its net assets were $919,029 at September 30, 2008, compared to $3,737,770 and $2,424,900, respectively, for the period at December 31, 2007.

 

13




The changes in total assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were primarily attributable to a decrease in unrealized appreciation in marketable securities of $2,799,621 and impairment of investments of $12,500 offset by a realized gain of $1,356,137 and a loss of ($29,123) on investment operations. The Company's unrealized appreciation (depreciation) varies significantly from period to period as a result of the wide fluctuations in value of the Company's portfolio securities and the number of shares owned.


The changes in net assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were attributable to the net operating loss from operations for the period of ($29,123), the changes in investment value arising from a $1,356,137 realized

gain on sale of investments, the $2,799,621 unrealized loss on the portfolio valuation and impairment of investments of $12,500, interest expense of $20,794 and $30 interest income.


The Company's financial condition is dependent on a number of factors including the ability of each portfolio company to effectuate its respective strategies with the Company's help. These businesses are frequently thinly capitalized, unproven, small companies that may lack management depth, and may be dependent on new or commercially unproven technologies, and which may have little or no operating history.


Result of Operations for the nine month period ending September 30, 2008 vs. 2007.


Operating Expenses


For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, operating expenses were $208,696 compared to $291,605 for the comparable period of 2007. The decrease for the nine month period ending September 30, 2008 compared to the comparable period of 2007 is primarily attributed to no Litigation Settlement expense ($45,000) and decreased General and Administrative Expenses ($84,104) offset by a $46,195 increase for Professional Services expenses.


Net Investment Income/ (Loss)


For the nine months ending September 30, 2008, our net investment loss after taxes was $29,123 compared to a loss of $282,405 for the comparable period in 2007. The net change gain of $253,282 in the nine month period ending

September 30, 2008 as compared to the comparable period ended September 30, 2007 was attributable to the factors discussed above and an $180,373 gain on settlements of various payables.


Other increases (decreases) in net assets from investments


For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, net assets increased from the proceeds from the Net Realized Gain on the sale of portfolio securities of $1,356,137 compared to a gain of $2,083 for the comparable period in 2007. Refer to the Statements of Operations schedule F-5.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


At September 30, 2008, we had approximately $877,476 in liquid and semi-liquid assets consisting of $87,808 in cash; and $789,668 in saleable marketable securities discounted from their fair market value by 28%, as determined by the management of the Company and its Board of Directors.


For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, we primarily satisfied our working capital needs from: (i) cash on hand at the beginning of the period, (ii) the sale of marketable securities in the gross amount of $1,384,994, (iii) loans from officers and repayment in full in the amount of $135,628 and (iv) borrowing from our brokerage margin account loan. Working capital expenditures included: i) a decrease in a note payable and interest due to one of our officers in the amount of $650,794, (ii) payment of accounts payable/accrued expenses of $113,500 and (iii) net payments due to other stockholders of $367,025 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The Company established a collateralized loan account with a securities broker/dealer that as of September 30, 2008 held 600,000 shares of Regal's Neuralstem stock.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, Regal received loans in the amount of $450,000 under this margin account, and repaid $450,000 of that amount, with neither amount reflecting small interest amounts. No additional loans were required during the third quarter of 2008.

From inception, the Company has relied on the infusion of capital through capital share transactions and loans. The Company plans to either: (i) dispose of its current portfolio securities to meet operational needs; or (ii) borrow against such securities via a traditional margin account or other such credit facility. Any such dispositions may have to be made at inopportune times and there is no assurance that, in light of the lack of liquidity in such shares, they could be sold at all, or if sold, could bring values approximating the estimates of fair value set forth in the Company financial statements. Additionally, when the Company enters into a margin agreement loan using its portfolio securities as collateral, a decrease in their market value may result in a liquidation of such securities which could greatly depress the value of such securities in the market. The Company's average current monthly cash operating expense is approximately $37,000. Because our revenues, if generated, tend to be in the form of portfolio securities, such revenues are not normally of a type capable of being liquidated to satisfy the Company's ongoing monthly expenses. Consequently, for us to be able to avoid having to defer expenses or sell portfolio companies' securities to raise cash to pay operating expenses, we are constantly seeking to secure adequate funding under acceptable terms.


Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

None.

 

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE

DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Our business activities contain high elements of risk. The Company considers a principal type of market risk to be a valuation risk. All assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors (which is based, in part, on quoted market prices of similar investments).

 

Market prices of common equity securities in general, are subject to fluctuations which could cause the amount to be realized upon sale to differ significantly from the current reported value.  The fluctuations may result from perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of the Company's portfolio companies, the relative prices of alternative investments, general market conditions and supply and demand imbalances for a particular security

 

Neither the Company’s investments nor an investment in the Company is intended to constitute a balanced investment program. The Company will be subject to exposure in the public-market pricing and the risks inherent therein.
