NOTE  B.ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY

 

The Company has not generated significant revenues since its inception and has suffered losses from operations, has a working capital deficit and has an accumulated deficit.  Dr. Burzynski has funded the capital and operational needs of the Company through his medical practice since inception, and has entered into various agreements to continue such funding.

 

The Company is economically dependent on its funding through Dr. Burzynski’s medical practice.  A portion of Dr. Burzynski’s patients are admitted and treated as part of the clinical trial programs, which are regulated by the FDA.  The FDA imposes numerous regulations and requirements regarding these patients, and the Company is subject to inspection at any time by the FDA.  These regulations are complex and subject to interpretation and though it is management’s intention to comply fully with all such regulations, there is the risk that the Company is not in compliance and is thus subject to sanctions imposed by the FDA. In addition, as with any medical practice, Dr. Burzynski is subject to potential claims by patients and other potential claimants commonly arising out of the operation of a medical practice.  The risks associated with Dr. Burzynski’s medical practice directly affect his ability to fund the operations of the Company.
