BUSINESSPhase III Medical, Inc. ("Phase III" or the "Company") (formerly known asCorniche Group Incorporated) provides capital and guidance to companies, inmultiple sectors of the healthcare and life science industries, in return for apercentage of revenues, royalty fees, licensing fees and other product sales ofthe target companies. Through June 30, 2002, the Company was a provider ofextended warranties and service contracts via the Internet atwarrantysuperstore.com. The business of the Company today comprises the "runoff" of its sale of extended warranties and service contracts via the Internetand the new business opportunity it is pursuing in the medical/bio-tech sector.In 2004, the Company launched its website: www.phase3med.com. The Company'sinformation as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is availablevia a link on the website.HISTORYThe Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware inSeptember 1980 under the name Fidelity Medical Services, Inc. On July 28, 1983the Company changed its name to Fidelity Medical, Inc. From its inceptionthrough March 1995, the Company was engaged in the development and sale ofmedical imaging products through a wholly owned subsidiary. As a result of areverse merger on March 2, 1995 with Corniche Distribution Limited and itssubsidiaries, the Company was engaged in the retail sale and wholesaledistribution of stationery and related office products in the United Kingdom.Effective March 25, 1995 the Company sold its medical imaging productssubsidiary. On September 28, 1995 the Company changed its name to Corniche GroupIncorporated. In February 1996, the Company's United Kingdom operations wereplaced in receivership by creditors. Thereafter through March 1998 the Companywas inactive. On March 4, 1998, the Company entered into a Stock PurchaseAgreement with certain individuals (the "Initial Purchasers") whereby theInitial Purchasers acquired in aggregate 765,000 shares of a newly createdSeries B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock. Thereafter the InitialPurchasers endeavored to establish for the Company new business operations inthe property and casualty specialty insurance and warranty/service contractsmarkets. On September 30, 1998 the Company acquired all of the capital stock ofStamford Insurance Company, Ltd. ("Stamford"). On April 30, 2001 the Companysold Stamford and is no longer involved in property and casualty specialtyinsurance.On January 7, 2002, the Company entered into a Stock Contribution ExchangeAgreement, as amended (the "Exchange Agreement"), with StrandTek International,Inc., a Delaware corporation ("StrandTek"), certain of StrandTek's principalshareholders and certain non-shareholder loan holders of StrandTek (the"StrandTek Transaction"). Consummation of the StrandTek Transaction wasconditioned upon a number of closing conditions, including the Company obtainingfinancing via an equity private placement, which ultimately could not be met andas a result, the Exchange Agreement was formally terminated by the Company andStrandTek in June 2002. In January 2002, the Company advanced to StrandTek aloan of $1,000,000 on an unsecured basis, which was personally guaranteed bycertain of the principal shareholders of StrandTek and a further loan of$250,000 on February 19, 2002 on an unsecured basis. Such loans bore interest at7% per annum and were due on July 31, 2002 following termination of the ExchangeAgreement in June 2002.StrandTek defaulted on the payment of $1,250,000 plus accrued interest due tothe Company on July 31, 2002. As a result, on August 6, 2002, the Company fileda complaint in the Superior Court of New Jersey entitled Corniche GroupIncorporated v StrandTek International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, StrandTekInternational, Inc., a FloridaSource: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 31, 2005Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

The complaint sought recovery of the $1,250,000 loans, plus interest,costs and fees, and sought recovery against the individual defendants pursuantto their partial guarantees. On May 9, 2003, the Company was granted a finaljudgment in the amount of $1,415,622 from each corporate defendant, in theamount of $291,405 against each individual defendant and dismissing defendants'counterclaims.Because the February 2002 $250,000 loan was unsecured and not guaranteed, theCompany established an allowance of $250,000 at December 31, 2002. The Companywas informed that on April 16, 2003, StrandTek made an assignment for thebenefit of its creditors, so that any collection on its judgment other than onthe personal guarantees is highly unlikely.Between July 2003 and December 2003, guarantors Veltman, Buckles and Arnett paidtheir judgments in full, with payments totaling approximately $295,000, $295,000and $297,000 respectively. In December 2003, the Company settled with defendantBauman for a payment of $100,000. These payments, totaling approximately$987,000, complete the transaction and the legal action has been concluded.On July 24, 2003, the Company changed its name to Phase III Medical, Inc., whichbetter describes the Company's current business plan. In connection with thechange of name, the Company changed its trading symbol to "PHSM" from "CNGI".DISCONTINUED OPERATIONSThrough April 2001 the Company operated a property and casualty reinsurancebusiness through its wholly owned subsidiary, Stamford Insurance Company, Ltd.("Stamford"). Stamford is chartered under the laws of, and is licensed toconduct business as an insurance company by, the Cayman Islands. Stamfordprovided reinsurance coverage for one domestic insurance company until thefourth quarter of 2000 when the relationship with the carrier was terminated.CURRENT BUSINESS OPERATIONSThe business of the Company today comprises the "run off" of its sale ofextended warranties and service contracts via the Internet and the new businessopportunity it is pursuing as described below under the sub-heading"Medical/Biotech Business".WarrantySuperstore.com Internet BusinessThe Company's primary business focus, through June 2002, was the sale ofextended warranties and service contracts over the Internet covering automotive,home, office, personal electronics, home appliances, computers and gardenequipment. The Company offered its products and services in the United States instates that permit program marketers to be the obligor on service contracts.This represented approximately 38 states for automobile service contracts andmost states for other product categories. While the Company managed mostfunctions relating to its extended warranty and service contracts, it did notbear the economic risk to repair or replace products nor did it administer theclaims function. The obligation to repair or replace products rested with theCompany's appointed insurance carriers, Great American Insurance Company andAmerican Home Shield. Great American Insurance Company provided contractualliability insurance covering the obligation to repair or replace products underthe Company's automobile and consumer products extended warranties and servicecontracts and American Home Shield covered all home warranty contracts. TheCompany was responsible for the marketing, recording sales, collecting paymentand reporting contract details and paying premiums to the insurance carriers. Inaddition, the Company provided information to the insurance carriers' appointedclaims administrators who handle all claims under the Company's contracts,including the payment of claims.The Company commenced operations initially by marketing its extended warrantyproducts directly to the consumer through its web site. During fiscal 2000 theCompany developed enhanced proprietary software to facilitate more efficientprocessing and tracking of online warranty transactions. This provided theCompany with the ability to deliver its products over the Internet through anumber of distribution channels by enabling it to supply a number of differentextended warranty service contracts on a co-branded or private label basis tocorporations, by embedding the Company's suite of products on such corporation'sweb sites. This new capability was launched in January 2001. It was anticipatedthat this would result in substantially reduced direct marketing costs for theyears ending December 31, 2001 and thereafter. As a result the Company had fourSource: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 31, 2005Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Accordingly,alternative strategies for the Company were evaluated by the Board of Directors,including the acquisition of new business operations. As a result, the Companyentered into the StrandTek Transaction but, as previously reported, the closingconditions were not met and the Exchange Agreement was terminated by writtenagreement between the parties. In June 2002, management determined, in light ofcontinuing operating losses, to discontinue its warranty and service contractbusiness and to seek new business opportunities for the Company.MEDICAL/BIOTECH BUSINESSOn February 6, 2003, the Company appointed Mark Weinreb as a member of the Boardof Directors and as its President and Chief Executive Officer. Under hisdirection, the Company entered a new line of business where it provides capitaland guidance to companies, in multiple sectors of the healthcare and lifescience industries, in return for a percentage of revenues, royalty fees,licensing fees and other product sales of the target companies. The Companycontinues to recruit management, business development and technical personnel,and develop its business model. Accordingly, it will be necessary for theCompany to raise new capital. In accordance with its business plan, the Company,in 2003 raised $514,781 of capital, including $214,781, net of expenses of$67,719, through the sale of Common Stock, and $295,000, net of commissions of$30,000, from the sale of notes. In addition, the Company received a total ofapproximately $987,000 from the settlement with the StrandTek guarantors. Asignificant portion of the Standtek proceeds was used to pay outstandingliabilities for legal expenses, employment terminations, travel andentertainment expenses and consultants. The balance of the proceeds was used foroperating expenses and the retirement of certain debt. In the year endedDecember 31, 2004, the Company raised $1,114,375, net of expenses, of capitalthough the sales of Common Stock, and $660,000 from the sale of notes.On December 12, 2003, the Company signed a royalty agreement with ParallelSolutions, Inc. "(PSI") to develop a new bioshielding platform technology forthe delivery of therapeutic proteins and small molecule drugs in order to extendcirculating half-life to improve bioavailability and dosing regimen, whilemaintaining or improving pharmacologic activity. The agreement provides for PSIto pay the Company a percentage of the revenue received from the sale of certainspecified products or licensing activity. The Company has provided capital andguidance to PSI to conduct a proof of concept study to improve an existingtherapeutic protein with the goal of validating the bioshielding technology forfurther development and licensing the technology. As of December 31, 2004, theCompany has provided $805,324 to PSI pursuant to the royalty agreement. TheCompany is obligated to fund up to an additional $194,676 of expenses. The proofof concept study is continuing and there is no assurance of a favorable outcome.On January 19, 2004, the Company entered into a letter of intent with NeoStem,Inc., a California company, whose primary business is to establish an autologousadult stem cell bank. A definitive agreement was never reached. However, onMarch 31, 2004, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement. NeoStem,Inc. pioneers adult stem cell therapeutics, including the collection and storageof stem cells. The joint venture provides for the Company to assist NeoStem infinding uses of and customers for NeoStem's services and/or technology.

Additionalrisks that the Company does not yet know of or that it currently thinks areimmaterial may also impair its business operations. If any of the risks occur,its business strategy, financial condition or operating results could beadversely affected.PHASE III HAS A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES AND A SUBSTANTIAL ACCUMULATEDEARNINGS DEFICIT AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO INCUR LOSSES.Since its inception in 1980, the Company has generated only limited revenuesfrom sales and has incurred substantial net losses of $1,748,372, $1,044,145 and$1,159,838 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.At December 31, 2004, the Company had a stockholders' deficit of approximately$1,900,000. The Company expects to incur additional operating losses as well asnegative cash flow from its new business operations until revenues from thepurchase of royalty interests are received.THE COMPANY HAS LIQUIDITY PROBLEMS.Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 31, 2005Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. The user assumes all risks for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information,except to the extent such damages or losses cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.At December 31, 2004, the Company had a cash balance of $27,868, deficit workingcapital of $1,238,949 and a stockholders' deficit of $1,931,787. In addition,the Company sustained losses of $1,748,372, $1,044,145 and $1,159,838 for thethree fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. TheCompany's lack of liquidity combined with its history of losses raisessubstantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a goingconcern. The financial statements of the Company do not reflect any adjustmentsrelating to the doubt of its ability to continue as a going concern. OnSeptember 22, 2003, the Company commenced an equity private placement toaccredited investors pursuant to Regulation D to raise up to $4,000,000 throughthe sale of up to 40,000,000 shares of its Common Stock in increments of $5,000or 50,000 shares. Through July 31, 2004, the Company sold only 14,957,913shares, resulting in proceeds to the Company of $1,319,781, net of offeringcosts of $67,719. This amended private placement was terminated in July 2004.Additional financing is needed. There can be no assurance that the Company willbe able to sell sufficient quantities of equity securities or borrow money so asto have sufficient funds to continue to operate.THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN IS QUESTIONABLE.The Company's auditors, Holtz Rubenstein Reminick LLP, modified its opinion inorder to disclose the substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continueas a going concern. It will be more difficult for the Company to raise capitalon favorable terms and fund the agreements currently in place or new agreementsas a result of the substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue asa going concern.THE COMPANY WILL CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE CASH OUTFLOWS.The Company continues to incur expenses, including the salary of its President,COO, rent, legal and accounting fees, insurance and general administrativeexpenses. The Company's new business activities are in the development stage andwill therefore result in additional cash outflows in the coming period. It isnot possible at this time to state whether the Company will be able to financethese cash outflows or when the Company will achieve a positive cash position,if at all.THE COMPANY'S LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY MAY IMPAIR ITS ABILITY TO PLAN.The Company's limited operating history in its planned business activities mayhinder its ability to evaluate its business and entails risks that the Companymay fail to adequately address business issues with which it has limitedexperience. There is no way to predict when, if ever, the Company will achieveprofitability or positive cash flow.BECAUSE OF ITS FINANCIAL POSITION, THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT ITS ABILITYTO OPERATE AS A GOING CONCERN.The Company has no cash generating revenues. As of December 31, 2004, theCompany had a stockholders' deficit of $1,931,787 and had a working capitaldeficiency of $1,238,949. Although the Company continues to raise funds throughthe issuance of promissory notes, which have been substantially spent, theCompany's financial condition still raises substantial doubt about its abilityto operate as a going concern.THE COMPANY WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING AND IS UNCERTAIN OF ITS ACCESS TOCAPITAL FUNDING.The Company's proposed new business will require substantial capital to identifyand make alliances with one or more medical companies based on the Company'scurrent operating plan for its new business. In addition, the Company's cashrequirements may vary materially from those now planned because of results inresearch, consulting with experts and modeling sales forecasts for the potentialproducts of potential business partners. RISKS RELATING TO THE COMPANY'S PROPOSED NEW BUSINESSTHE COMPANY HAS ONLY TWO BUSINESS PARTNERS TO DATE AND IS UNCERTAIN OF ITSFUTURE PROFITABILITY WITH ITS INTENDED VENTURE TO GENERATE REVENUES FROM SUCHRELATIONSHIPS.The Company's ability to achieve profitability in its new business is dependentin part on the agreements, if any, entered into with business partners.Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 31, 2005Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. The user assumes all risks for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information,except to the extent such damages or losses cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Currently the Company has entered into one agreement with PSI, and one agreementwith NeoStem and since the agreements are in its early stages, it is prematureto predict any favorable outcome. There can be no assurance that any additionalagreements will be entered into. The failure to enter into any such necessaryagreements could delay or prevent the Company's new business from achievingprofitability and would have a material adverse effect on the business,financial position and results of operations of the Company. Further, there canbe no assurance that the Company's operations will become profitable even if theCompany enters into agreements with business partners.THE PSI ARRANGEMENT MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL.The Company's contract with its first business partner, PSI, demonstratescertain of the risks of the Company's business. PSI is attempting to develop anew bioshielding platform technology for the delivery of therapeutic proteinsand small molecule drugs in order to extend circulating half-life to improvebioavailability and dosing regimen, while maintaining or improving pharmacologicactivity. The Company is providing funding and consulting services for PSI toconduct a proof of concept study. No assurances can be given that the proof ofconcept program will be successful, that any viable technology will arise fromthat program, that the Company or PSI will be able to commercialize any productor technology that is successfully developed, or that there will be marketacceptance of any such product or technology sufficient to generate any materialrevenues for the Company. Even if everything is successful, it will be a longtime before the Company receives any royalty revenues from the PSI project.THERE ARE RISKS RELATING TO POTENTIAL CORPORATE COLLABORATIONS.The Company's new business strategy includes identifying and partnering withvarious pharmaceutical and/or biotechnology companies that are developing a drugor medical device. There can be no assurance the Company will enter into anyadditional relationships with these business partners and, even if the Companydoes enter into such relationships, that the arrangements will be on favorableterms or that the Company's relationship will be successful. In some cases, theCompany will generate income from its relationship with these companies onlyafter its potential business partners' product has achieved significantpre-clinical and/or clinical development, has procured requisite regulatoryapprovals and/or has established its manufacturing capabilities.The Company's potential business partners' business strategy may includeentering into collaborations or marketing and distribution arrangements withcorporate partners for the development (including clinical development),commercialization, marketing and distribution of certain of their productcandidates. The Company's potential business partners may be dependent on suchcorporate collaborations to fund clinical testing, to make certain regulatoryfilings and to manufacture and market products resulting from the collaboration.There can be no assurance that such arrangements with a corporate collaborationwill be scientifically, clinically or commercially successful. In the event thatany such arrangements are made and then terminated, such actions could adverselyaffect the Company's business partners' ability to develop, commercialize,market and distribute certain of their product candidates.If the Company's potential business partners breach or terminate theiragreements with the Company, or fail to develop or commercialize their productsor fail to develop or commercialize their products in a timely manner, thedevelopment of their products may be adversely affected, and thus not create aneconomic benefit for the Company.There can be no assurance that the Company's potential business partners willnot change their strategic focus or pursue alternative technologies or developalternative products either on their own or in collaboration with others. TheCompany's business will also be affected by the effectiveness of its potentialbusiness partners' corporate partners in marketing their products.THERE ARE COMPANIES, UNIVERSITIES AND RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS THAT MAY BERESEARCHING AND TRYING TO DEVELOP PRODUCTS THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THE PRODUCTS OFTHE COMPANY'S POTENTIAL BUSINESS PARTNERS.Competition in the medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, thesector in which the Company plans to establish new business operations, isintense. The Company's potential business partners may face competition fromcompanies with far greater financial, marketing, technical and researchresources, name recognition, distribution channels and market presence than theSource: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 31, 2005Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

There can be no assurance that theCompany's potential business partners' products will be able to competesuccessfully with existing products or products under development by othercompanies, universities and other institutions.THE COMPANY'S POTENTIAL BUSINESS PARTNERS MAY DEPEND ON THIRD PARTIES.The Company's potential business partners may rely entirely on third parties fora variety of functions, including certain functions relating to research anddevelopment, manufacturing, clinical trials management, regulatory affairs andsales, marketing and distribution. There can be no assurance that the Company'spotential business partners will be able to establish and maintain any of theserelationships on acceptable terms or enter into these arrangements without unduedelays or expenditures. In addition, the business partners may require, and seekto raise, additional capital with third parties in order to develop products andmeet their working capital needs. There is no guarantee that the businesspartners will be able to raise such additional capital, and any agreementspreviously made between the business partners and the Company may make thebusiness partners less attractive to third parties in this regard.THERE ARE UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED WITH PRE-CLINICAL AND CLINICAL TESTING.The grant of regulatory approvals for the commercial sale of any of theCompany's potential business partners' potential products will depend in part onthe Company's potential business partners and/or their collaboratorssuccessfully conducting extensive pre-clinical and clinical testing todemonstrate their products safety and efficacy in humans. The results ofpre-clinical studies by the Company's potential business partners and/or theircollaborators may be inconclusive and may not be indicative of results that willbe obtained in human clinical trials. In addition, results attained in earlyhuman clinical trials relating to the products under development by theCompany's potential business partners may not be indicative of results that willbe obtained in later clinical trials. As results of particular pre-clinicalstudies and clinical trials are received, the Company's potential businesspartners and/or their collaborators may abandon projects with which the Companyassisted in developing which they might otherwise have believed to be promising.The Company's potential business partners may be involved in developing drugs onwhich they plan to file investigational new drug applications ("INDs") with theFDA or make equivalent filings outside of the United States. There can be noassurance that necessary pre-clinical studies on these products will becompleted satisfactorily, if at all, or that the Company's potential businesspartners otherwise will be able to make their intended filings. Clinical testingis very expensive, and the Company's potential business partners and/or theircollaborators will have to devote substantial resources for the cost of clinicaltrials.The Company's potential business partners may have no experience in conductingclinical trials and may have to rely, in part, on academic institutions and onclinical research organizations to conduct and monitor certain clinical trials.There can be no assurance that such entities will conduct the clinical trialssuccessfully.Failure to commence or complete any planned clinical trials by the Company'spotential business partners would have a material adverse effect on theCompany's new business.THE COMPANY'S POTENTIAL BUSINESS PARTNERS AND THEIR PRODUCTS WILL BE SUBJECT TOGOVERNMENT REGULATIONS AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE OF REGULATORY APPROVAL.The Company's potential business partners and their products will be subject tocomprehensive regulation by the FDA in the United States and by comparableauthorities in other countries. These national agencies and other federal,state, and local entities regulate, among other things, the pre-clinical andclinical testing, safety, effectiveness, approval, manufacture, labeling,marketing, export, storage, record keeping, advertising, and promotion of theCompany's potential business partners' products.The process of obtaining FDA approvals can be costly, time consuming, andsubject to unanticipated delays and the Company's potential business partnersSource: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 31, 2005Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

There can be no assurance that suchapprovals will be granted on a timely basis, or at all.The Company's potential business partners may also be subject to numerous andvarying foreign regulatory requirements governing the design and conduct ofclinical trials and the managing and marketing of their products. The approvalprocedure varies among countries and can involve additional testing, and thetime required to obtain approval may differ from that required to obtain FDAapproval.There can be no assurance that the Company's potential business partners ortheir partners will qualify for regulatory approvals or receive necessaryapprovals to commercialize product candidates in any market. Delays in receiptof or failure to receive regulatory approvals, or the loss of previouslyreceived approvals, would have a material adverse effect on the Company'spotential business partners' business, and therefore, on the Company's business.THE COMPANY'S NEW VENTURE MAY REQUIRE IT TO REGISTER AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANYUNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940.The Company is not registered as an investment company under the InvestmentCompany Act of 1940, as amended (or any similar state laws) (the "Company Act").The Company does not believe (i) it is an "investment company" pursuant to theCompany Act, or (ii) that it will hold "securities" pursuant to the Company Actor the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. However, the Securities and ExchangeCommission ("SEC") may disagree in the futue with the Company's position anddeem the Company to be an "investment company" under the Company Act and requirethe Company to register as an investment company. If this were to occur, theCompany's day-to-day operations would become subject to the regulatory anddisclosure requirements imposed by the Company Act. The Company does not havethe infrastructure to operate as an investment company. RISKS RELATING TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTYIF THE COMPANY OR ITS BUSINESS PARTNERS ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN PATENT PROTECTIONFOR THE PRODUCTS THAT RESULT FROM THE MEDICAL DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS, THE VALUE OFTHE MEDICAL DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. IF THE COMPANY ORITS BUSINESS PARTNERS INFRINGE PATENT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OFTHIRD PARTIES, THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DEVELOP AND COMMERCIALIZE THE PRODUCTSAND SERVICES THAT WILL COMPRISE THE MEDICAL DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS OR THE COST OFDOING SO MAY INCREASE.Patent positions of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are generallyuncertain and involve complex legal, scientific and factual questions. Theability of the Company or its business partners to develop and commercializeproducts and services depends in significant part on the Company's or itsbusiness partners' ability to (i) obtain patents, (ii) obtain licenses to theproprietary rights of others on commercially reasonable terms, (iii) operatewithout infringing upon the proprietary rights of others, (iv) prevent othersfrom infringing on the Company's or its business partners' proprietary rights,and (v) protect trade secrets.THERE IS SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE VALIDITY AND PERMISSIBLE SCOPE OFPATENTS IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL AND BIOTECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY, WHICH MAY MAKE ITDIFFICULT FOR THE COMPANY OR ITS BUSINESS PARTNERS TO OBTAIN PATENT PROTECTIONFOR DISCOVERIES.The validity and permissible scope of patent claims in the pharmaceutical andbiotechnology fields, including the genomics field, involve important unresolvedlegal principles and are the subject of public policy debate in the UnitedStates and abroad. There is also some uncertainty as to whether human clinicaldata will be required for issuance of patents for human therapeutics. If theCompany is involved in a project in this field and if such data are required,the Company's or its business partners' ability to obtain patent protectioncould be delayed or otherwise adversely affected.THIRD PARTIES MAY OWN OR CONTROL PATENTS OR PATENT APPLICATIONS AND REQUIRE THECOMPANY OR ITS BUSINESS PARTNERS TO SEEK LICENSES, WHICH COULD INCREASE THECOMPANY'S OR ITS BUSINESS PARTNERS' DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION COSTS, ORPREVENT THE COMPANY OR ITS BUSINESS PARTNERS FROM DEVELOPING OR MARKETING THECOMPANY'S OR ITS BUSINESS PARTNERS' PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 31, 2005Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Third parties may own or control these patents and patentapplications in the United States and abroad. Therefore, in some cases, in orderto develop, manufacture, sell or import some of the Company's or its businesspartners' existing and proposed products, processes or services, the Company orits business partners may choose to seek, or be required to seek, licenses underthird-party patents issued in the United States and abroad or those that mightissue from United States and foreign patent applications. In such event, theCompany or its business partners would be required to pay license fees orroyalties or both to the licensor. If licenses are not available to the Companyor its business partners on acceptable terms, the Company or its businesspartners may not be able to develop, manufacture, sell or import these products,processes or services.THE COMPANY OR ITS BUSINESS PARTNERS MAY BECOME INVOLVED IN EXPENSIVE PATENTLITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDINGS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE COMPANY OR ITSBUSINESS PARTNERS INCURRING SUBSTANTIAL COSTS AND EXPENSES OR SUBSTANTIALLIABILITY FOR DAMAGES OR REQUIRE THE COMPANY OR ITS BUSINESS PARTNERS TO STOPTHEIR DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION EFFORTS.There has been substantial litigation and other proceedings regarding the patentand other intellectual property rights in the pharmaceutical and biotechnologyindustries. The Company or its business partners may become a party to patentlitigation or other proceedings regarding intellectual property rights.The cost to the Company or its business partners of any patent litigation orother proceeding, even if resolved in the Company's or its business partners'favor, could be substantial. Some of the Company's or its business partners'competitors may be able to sustain the cost of such litigation or proceedingsmore effectively than the Company or its business partners because of theirsubstantially greater financial resources. If a patent litigation or otherproceeding is resolved against the Company or its business partners, the Companyor its business partners may be enjoined from developing, manufacturing, sellingor importing their products, processes or services without a license from theother party and the Company or its business partners may be held liable forsignificant damages. The Company or its business partners may not be able toobtain any required license on commercially acceptable terms or at all.Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of patentlitigation or other proceedings could have a material adverse effect on theCompany's or its business partners' ability to compete in the marketplace.Patent litigation and other proceedings may also absorb significant managementtime.COMPETITIONCompetition in the medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, thesector in which the Company has established new business operations, is intense.The Company's potential business partners may face competition from companieswith far greater financial, marketing, technical and research resources, namerecognition, distribution channels and market presence than the Company'spotential business partners who are marketing existing products or developingnew products that are similar to the products developed by the Company'spotential business partners. There can be no assurance that the Company'spotential business partners' products will be able to compete successfully withexisting products or products under development by other companies, universitiesand other institutions.EMPLOYEESAs of December 31, 2004, the Company had four employees.ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONThe following discussion should be read in conjunction with the auditedfinancial statements and notes thereto, included in Item 8 of this report, andis qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.GENERALDuring the first half of fiscal 2001, management became concerned by the slowprogress being made by its warrantysuperstore.com business. Accordingly,alternative strategies for the Company were evaluated by the Board of Directors,including the acquisition of new business operations. As a result, on January 7,2002 the Company entered into the StrandTek Transaction as previously reported.Consummation of the StrandTek Transaction was conditioned upon certain closingconditions, including the Company obtaining financing via an equity privateplacement, which ultimately could not be met and as a result in June 2002, theExchange Agreement was formally terminated by written agreement between theCompany and StrandTek. In June 2002, management also determined, in light ofcontinuing operating losses, to discontinue its warranty and service contractbusiness and to seek new business opportunities for the Company.NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIESManagement had been exploring new business opportunities for the Company and onFebruary 6, 2003, the Company appointed Mark Weinreb as a member of the Board ofDirectors and as its President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Weinreb wasappointed to finalize and execute the Company's new business plan. The Companynow provides capital and guidance to companies, in multiple sectors of thehealthcare and life science industries, in return for a percentage of revenues,royalty fees, licensing fees and other product sales of the target companies.The Company continues to recruit management, business development and technicalpersonnel, and develop its business model. Accordingly, it will be necessary forthe Company to raise new capital. There can be no assurance that any suchbusiness plan developed by the Company will be successful, that the Company willbe able to acquire such new business or rights or raise new capital, or that theterms of any transaction will be favorable to the Company.CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIESRevenue Recognition: Stamford's reinsurance premiums are recognized on a prorata basis over the policy term. The deferred policy acquisition costs are thenet cost of acquiring new and renewal insurance contracts. These costs arecharged to expense in proportion to net premium revenue recognized. Theprovisions for losses and loss-adjustment expenses include an amount determinedfrom loss reports on individual cases and an amount based on past experience forlosses incurred but not reported.

The Company recognizes revenue from its warranty service contractsratably over the length of the contracts executed. Additionally, the Companypurchased insurance to fully cover any losses under the service contracts from adomestic carrier. The insurance premium expense and other costs related to thesale are amortized ratably over the life of the contracts.FISCAL 2004 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2003The Company generated recognized revenues from the sale of extended warrantiesand service contracts via the Internet of $49,000 in fiscal 2004 compared to$65,000 in fiscal 2003. The revenues generated in the year were derived entirelyfrom revenues deferred over the life of the contracts sold in prior years.Similarly, direct costs incurred were $34,000 and $44,000 for fiscal years 2004and 2003 respectively, which relate to costs previously deferred over the lifeof such contracts.General and administrative expenses totaled $764,000 during the year endedDecember 31, 2004 as compared to $685,000 for fiscal 2003, an increase of$79,000 or 11.5%. The increase was primarily attributable to increases insalaries and related expenses ($189,000), directors and officer's liabilityinsurance ($31,000), rent ($12,000) and investor relations ($29,000) partiallyoffset by decreases in legal ($59,000), consultants ($63,000), director's fees($13,000) travel and entertainment ($17,000), stockholder's meetings ($12,000),transfer agent fees ($5,000) and miscellaneous items ($13,000).In accordance with the PSI agreement, the Company paid PSI $725,324 in fiscal2004 as compared to $80,000 in fiscal 2003.Interest income decreased from $89,000 in fiscal 2003 to less than $1,000 infiscal 2004 due to the lack of funds. Interest expense increased in fiscal 2004to $227,000 from $215,000 in fiscal 2003 due to the higher level of debt andcertain debt being in default and therefore subject to a higher interest rate.In addition, the Company recorded interest expense in fiscal 2004 relating tothe Series A preferred in the amount of approximately $48,000 as compared toapproximately $24,000 in 2003 due to a recent accounting pronouncement.For the reasons cited above, the net loss before preferred stock dividendincreased to $1,748,000 in fiscal 2004 from the comparable loss of $1,044,000for fiscal 2003.FISCAL 2003 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2002The Company generated recognized revenues from the sale of extended warrantiesand service contracts via the Internet of $65,000 in fiscal 2003.

The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases inemployee termination costs ($145,000), legal ($86,000), travel and entertainment($65,000), directors fees ($25,000), rents ($33,000) and depreciation ($16,000)partially offset by increases in insurance ($66,000) and salaries as a result ofthe employment agreement by and between the Company and Mark Weinreb ($41,000).Costs generally were significantly lower as the Company wound down itsoperations and closed its office facilities in Texas in July 2002.The Company realized a loss from the unsecured, un-guaranteed note receivablefrom StrandTek of $150,000 in fiscal 2003.

(hereinafter referred to as the "Company") was known asCorniche Group Incorporated until it changed its name on July 24, 2003. TheCompany was incorporated in Delaware on September 18, 1980 under the nameFidelity Medical Services, Inc. From its inception through March 1995, theCompany was engaged in the development, design, assembly, marketing, and sale ofmedical imaging products. As a result of a reverse merger with CornicheDistribution Limited and its Subsidiaries ("Corniche") the Company was engagedin the retail sale and wholesale distribution of stationery products and relatedoffice products, including office furniture, in the United Kingdom. EffectiveMarch 25, 1995, the Company sold its wholly-owned medical imaging productssubsidiary. On September 28, 1995 the Company changed its name to Corniche GroupIncorporated. In February 1996, the Company's United Kingdom operations wereplaced in receivership by their creditors. Thereafter, through May 1998, theCompany had no activity. On March 4, 1998, the Company entered into a StockPurchase Agreement ("Agreement"), approved by the Company's stockholders on May18, 1998, with certain individuals (the "Initial Purchasers") whereby theInitial Purchasers acquired an aggregate of 765,000 shares of a newly createdSeries B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share.Thereafter the Initial Purchasers endeavored to establish for the Company newbusiness operations in the property and casualty specialty insurance and theservice contract markets. On September 30, 1998, the Company acquired all of thecapital stock of Stamford Insurance Company, Ltd. ("Stamford") from WarrantechCorporation ("Warrantech") for $37,000 in cash in a transaction accounted for asa purchase. On April 30, 2001, the Company sold Stamford for a consideration of$372,000. During 2001, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $479,000 onthe sale of Stamford. The closing was effective May 1, 2001 and transfer offunds was completed on July 6, 2001.On January 7, 2002, the Company entered into a Stock Contribution ExchangeAgreement (the "Exchange Agreement") and a Supplemental Disclosure Agreement(together with the Exchange Agreement, the "Agreements") with StrandtekInternational, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Strandtek"), certain ofStrandtek's principal shareholders and certain non-shareholder loan holders ofStrandtek (the "StrandTek Transaction"). The Exchange Agreement was amended onFebruary 11, 2002. Had the transactions contemplated by the Agreements closed,StrandTek would have become a majority owned subsidiary of the Company and theformer shareholders of StrandTek would have controlled the Company. Consummationof the StrandTek Transaction was conditioned upon a number of closingconditions, including the Company obtaining financing via an equity privateplacement, which ultimately could not be met and, as a result, the Agreementswere formally terminated by the Company and StrandTek in June 2002.The Company was a provider of extended warranties and service contracts via theInternet at warrantysuperstore.com through June 30, 2002. In June 2002,management determined, in light of continuing operating losses, to discontinueits warranty and service contract business and to seek new businessopportunities for the Company. On February 6, 2003, the Company appointed MarkWeinreb as a member of the Board of Directors and as its President and ChiefExecutive Officer. The Company provides capital and guidance to companies, inmultiple sectors of the healthcare and life science industries, in return for apercentage of revenues, royalty fees, licensing fees and other product sales ofthe target companies. Mr. Weinreb was appointed to finalize and execute theCompany's new business plan.Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 31, 2005Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

"(PSI") to develop a new bioshielding platform technology forthe delivery of therapeutic proteins and small molecule drugs in order to extendcirculating half-life to improve bioavailability and dosing regimen, whilemaintaining or improving pharmacologic activity. The agreement provides for PSIto pay the Company a percentage of the revenue received from the sale of certainspecified products or licensing activity. The company will provide capital andguidance to PSI to conduct a Proof of Concept Study to improve an existingtherapeutic protein with the goal of validating the bioshielding technology forfurther development and licensing the technology.The Company continues to recruit management, business development and technicalpersonnel, and develop its business model. Accordingly, it will be necessary forthe Company to raise new capital. There can be no assurance that any suchbusiness plan developed by the Company will be successful, that the Company willbe able to acquire such new business or rights or raise new capital, or that theterms of any transaction will be favorable to the Company.The business of the Company today comprises the "run off" of its sale ofextended warranties and service contracts via the Internet and the new businessopportunity it is pursuing in the medical/bio-tech sector.At December 31, 2004, the Company had a cash balance of $27,868, deficit workingcapital of $1,238,949 and a stockholders' deficit of $1,931,787. In addition,the Company sustained losses of $1,748,372, $1,044,145 and $1,159,838 for thethree fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 respectively. TheCompany's lack of liquidity combined with its history of losses raisessubstantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a goingconcern. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not reflect anyadjustments relating to the doubt of its ability to continue as a going concern.Management is presently selling notes which bear interest at rates between 8%and 20% per annum to fund the Company until such time as sufficient proceeds, ifany, are received from the private placement of its common stock. On September22, 2003 the Company commenced an equity private placement to raise up to $4million through the sale of up to 40 million shares of its Common Stock inincrements of $5,000 or 50,000 shares. Since February 2003, the Company sold14,957,913 shares, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $1,319,781, ofwhich 7,282,913 shares with net proceeds of $650,000 were to Robert Aholt, Jr.,Chief Operating Officer of the Company. There can be no assurance that theCompany will be able to sell securities and may have to rely on its ability toborrow funds from new and or existing investors.Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesUse of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of Americarequires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certainreported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ fromthose estimates.Cash Equivalents: Short-term cash investments, which have a maturity of ninetydays or less when purchased, are considered cash equivalents in the consolidatedstatement of cash flows.Concentrations of Credit-Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subjectthe Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally ofcash. The Company places its cash accounts with high credit quality financialinstitutions, which at times may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.Property and Equipment: The cost of property and equipment is depreciated overthe estimated useful lives of the related assets of 3 to 5 years. The cost ofcomputer software programs are amortized over their estimated useful lives offive years. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method. Repairs andmaintenance expenditures that do not extend original asset lives are charged toexpense as incurred.Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)Income Taxes: The Company, in accordance with SFAS 109, "Accounting for IncomeSource: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 31, 2005Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Comprehensive income (loss) F-9Comprehensive income (loss): Refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses thatunder generally accepted accounting principles are included in comprehensiveincome but are excluded from net income as these amounts are recorded directlyas an adjustment to stockholders' equity. At December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002there were no such adjustments required.Pro Forma Effect of Stock Options: Financial Accounting Standards BoardInterpretation No. 44 is an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25 and SFAS No.123 which requires that effective July 1, 2000, all options issued tonon-employees after January 12, 2000 be accounted for under the rules of SFASNo. 123. Assuming the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant to be$.03 in February 2003, $.05 in May, June and July 2003, $.18 in September 2003,$.15 in January 2004, $.14 in March 2004, $.11 in May 2004 and $.10 in Septemberand November 2004, the life of the options to be from three to ten years, theexpected volatility at 200%, expected dividends are none, and the risk-freeinterest rate of between 3% and 10%, the Company would have recordedcompensation expense of $218,597, $205,760 and $43,593, respectively, for theyears ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 as calculated by the Black-Scholesoption pricing model. The weighted average fair value per option of optionsgranted during 2004 and 2003 was $0.11 and $0.06, respectively. There were noemployee stock options granted in 2002.The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating thefair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fullytransferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highlysubjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Becausethe Company's stock options have characteristics significantly different fromthose of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptionscan materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, theexisting models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fairvalue of its stock options.As such, proforma net loss and net loss per share would be as follows: 2004 2003 2002 ----------- ----------- ----------- Net loss as reported $(1,748,372) $(1,067,987) $(1,159,838) Additional compensation (218,597) (205,760) (43,593) Adjusted net loss $(1,966,969) $(1,273,747) $(1,203,431) =========== =========== =========== Net loss per share as reported $ (.05) $ (.05) $ (0.05) =========== =========== =========== Adjusted net loss per share $ (.06) $ (.05) $ (0.05) =========== =========== =========== F-10Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - In December 2003, the FASB issuedFASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable InterestEntities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51," as revised. A Variable InterestEntity ("VIE") is an entity with insufficient equity investment or in which theequity investors lack some of the characteristics of a controlling financialinterest. Pursuant to FIN 46, an enterprise that absorbs a majority of theexpected losses of the VIE must consolidate the VIE. The full adoption of FIN 46in fiscal 2004 did not have a material effect on the Company's financialposition and results of operations.Source: Caladrius Biosciences, Inc., 10-K, March 31, 2005Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

SFAS No. 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting fortransactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods orservices. This statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions inwhich an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the fair value of such equity instruments berecognized as an expense in the historical financial statements as services areperformed. Prior to SFAS No. 123(R), only certain pro forma disclosures of fairvalue were required. The provisions of this statement are effective for smallbusiness filers the first interim reporting period that begins after June 15,2005.On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchange of Non-monetaryAssets", an amendment of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 29,which differed from the International Accounting Standards Board's ("IASB")method of accounting for exchanges of similar productive assets. Statement No.153 replaces the exception from fair value measurement in APB No. 29, with ageneral exception from fair value measurement for exchanges of non-monetaryassets that do not have commercial substance. The statement is to be appliedprospectively and is effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring infiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe thatSFAS No. 153 will have a material impact on its results of operations or cashflows.Earnings Per Share: Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted effect ofall common shares issued and outstanding, and is calculated by dividing netincome available to common stockholders by the weighted average sharesoutstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share, which is calculatedby dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted averagenumber of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation plusthe number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of allpotentially dilutive securities outstanding, is not presented as it isanti-dilutive in all periods presented.Advertising Policy: All expenditures for advertising is charged againstoperations as incurred.Revenue Recognition: Stamford's reinsurance premiums are recognized on a prorata basis over the policy term. The deferred policy acquisition costs are thenet cost of acquiring new and renewal insurance contracts. These costs arecharged to expense in proportion to net premium revenue recognized. Theprovisions for losses and loss-adjustment expenses include an amount determinedfrom loss reports on individual cases and an amount based on past experience forlosses incurred but not reported. Such liabilities are necessarily based onestimates, and while management believes that the amount is adequate, theultimate liability may be in excess of or less than the amounts provided. Themethods for making such estimates and for establishing the resulting liabilityare continually reviewed, and any adjustments are reflected in earningscurrently.The Company had sold via the Internet through partnerships and directly toconsumers, extended warranty service contracts for seven major consumerproducts. The Company recognizes revenue ratably over the length of thecontract. The Company purchased insurance to fully cover any losses under theservice contracts from a domestic carrier. The insurance premium and other costsrelated to the sale are amortized over the life of the contract.Purchase of Royalty Interests: The Company charges payments for the purchase offuture potential royalty interests to expense as paid and will record revenueswhen royalty payments are received.Note 3 - Notes Receivable F-11In January 2002, the Company advanced to StrandTek a loan of $1 million on anunsecured basis, which was personally guaranteed by certain of the principalshareholders of StrandTek and a further loan of $250,000 on February 19, 2002 onan unsecured basis. Such loans bore interest at 7% per annum and were due onJuly 31, 2002 following termination of the Agreements (as discussed in Note 1)in June 2002.
