Section 8       –    Other Events
 
   Item 8.01.
Other Events
 
 
The Registrant today announced the attainment of a program milestone in its collaboration with Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly) to develop therapeutics to treat Alzheimer’s disease (AD).  Attainment of this milestone supports the continuation of the Registrant’s collaboration with Lilly.
 
 
 In November 2006, the Registrant entered into an agreement with Lilly to develop therapeutics to treat AD.  Lilly has been funding the vast majority of all pre-clinical research and development and will fully finance the clinical testing, manufacturing, sales and marketing of AD therapeutics developed from this collaboration.  The Applied NeuroSolutions, Inc. (APNS) proprietary tau-related target has now achieved two significant unpaid program milestones.  The next milestone, if achieved, represents a paid milestone for APNS.  The next milestone is currently targeted for achievement in late 2008 to early 2009.  The collaboration with Lilly continues to make good progress toward additional tau-based targets with an additional target being screened and validation studies underway for other targets.
