As of September 30, 2007, there were 1,273,814 Neuralstem shares
held
after the sale in this quarter of 35,038 shares, the transfer of
20,000
shares to settle a disputed liability and the adjusted Regal dividend,
paid in 465,430 Neuralstem shares in the first quarter. These remaining
shares have been valued at a discounted price from the 9/30/07 market
price due to the current thinly traded market for Neuralstem shares.
Of
the total shares held at 9/30/07, the adjusted 279,527 that were
registered have been recorded as a current asset. Regal also has
ten year
warrants at an exercise price of $5 per share which is significantly
above
the present fair market value of Neuralstem shares, therefore only
a
$50,000 value has yet been assigned to these warrants. In 2006, all
portfolio companies were also reported on a fair value basis.
