SAN DIEGO, Sept. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MicroIslet, Inc.
(AMEX:MII) announced today that it has filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission its amended annual report on Form 10-KSB
for the 2004 fiscal year, its amended quarterly report on Form
10-QSB for the first quarter of fiscal 2005, and its quarterly
report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended June 30, 2005.
MicroIslet believes that its filing today of the Form 10-QSB for
the period ended June 30, 2005 constitutes full compliance with the
American Stock Exchange (Amex) continuing listing standards and
completion of the plan of compliance submitted to the Amex on
September 6, 2005. MicroIslet had been out of compliance with the
Amex requirements of Sections 134, 1003(d) and 1101 of the Amex
Company Guide for the company's failure to file its Form 10-QSB for
the period ended June 30, 2005 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. MicroIslet anticipates notification of regained
compliance from Amex shortly. For the quarter ended June 30, 2005,
the company reported a net loss of $1,934,061 or $0.05 per share
compared with a net loss of $1,721,776 or $0.04 per share, for the
same period in 2004. Net loss was $3,934,304 or $0.10 per share for
the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared with a net loss of
$3,372,905 or $0.10 per share, for the same period in 2004.
Weighted-average common shares outstanding for the quarters ended
June 30, 2005 and 2004 were 39.9 million and 39.0 million,
respectively. The results for the 2004 period were restated to
correct errors in the accounting treatment for certain non-cash
expenses relating to warrants issued to service providers in 2004.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $645,766 for the
three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $1,283,016 for the
same period in 2004, and decreased to $1,278,373 for the six months
ended June 30, 2005 compared to $2,293,576 for the same period in
2004. The decrease was primarily due to lower investor relations
expenses offset by an increase in legal expenses. Research and
development expenses increased to $1,326,902 for the three months
ended June 30, 2005 from $464,553 in the same period in 2004, and
increased to $2,730,699 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from
$1,111,650 in the same period in 2004. These increases were due
mainly to an increase in headcount for lab personnel, the company's
partnership with the Mayo Foundation, and materials and services
relating to testing of the company's technology in animals. The
company reported $5.1 million in cash at June 30, 2005. The report
of the company's independent registered public accounting firm
contained in the Form 10-KSB/A for the 2004 fiscal year contains a
going concern qualification resulting from the company's need to
raise additional capital to continue operations at present levels
beyond March 2006. MicroIslet is taking appropriate measures to
secure additional working capital for sustaining operations beyond
March 2006. More information on these measures is contained in each
of the periodic reports recently filed with the SEC. About
