n 2007 to be $1,400,000 per month and we believe our
existing capital resources are adequate to fund our current plans for
research and development activities well into 2009. Factors that will
affect our anticipated monthly burn rate include, but are not limited to,
the number of manufacturing runs required to supply our clinical trial
program and the cost of each run, additional activities reducing our
economic dependence on a single supplier, the number of clinical trials
ultimately approved, the timing of patient enrollment in the approved
clinical trials, the actual costs incurred to support each clinical trial,
the number of treatments each patient will receive, the timing of the NCI's
R&D activity, and the level of pre-clinical activity undertaken.
In the event that we choose to seek additional capital, we will look to
fund additional capital requirements primarily through the issue of
additional equity. We recognize the challenges and uncertainty inherent in
the capital markets and the potential difficulties we might face in raising
additional capital. Market prices and market demand for securities in
biotechnology companies are volatile and there are no assurances that we
will have the ability to raise funds when required.
Capital Expenditures
We spent $586,124 on intellectual property during the nine month period
ending September 30, 2007 compared to $552,319 during the nine month period
ending September 30, 2006. The change in intellectual property expenditures
reflects the timing of filing costs associated with our expanded patent
base. As well, we have benefited from a stronger Canadian dollar as our
patent costs are typically incurred in U.S. currency. In the third quarter
of 2007, two U.S. patents were issued bringing our total patents issued to
23 in the U.S. and six in Canada.

Under our Investment Policy, we are permitted to invest in short-term
instruments with a rating no less than R-1 (DBRS) with
