Dow Jones Description

Arbios Systems, Inc. is a Nevada corporation based in Los Angeles, California. Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Arbios Technologies, Inc. (ATI), a Delaware corporation, we seek to develop, manufacture and market liver assist devices to meet the urgent need for therapy of liver failure. We are a medical device company that is focusing on the development of products used for the treatment of liver failure. Our products under development currently consist of a novel extracorporeal blood purification therapy (SEPET) and two extracorporeal, bioartificial liver systems ("HepatAssist-2" and "LIVERAID") that incorporate porcine hepatocytes (pig liver cells). Currently, our primary focus is on the development of SEPET and HepatAssist-2. We currently own seven key U.S. patents and are the licensee of seven other U.S. patents, as well as the owner of a patent application and numerous related trade secrets. In March 2005, we submitted an investigational new drug exemption application to the FDA to commence a pilot clinical study of our SEPET cartridge. Because our HepatAssist-2 bioartificial liver system is an enhanced version of a system that was tested in Phase II/III clinical trials approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), we have elected to initially focus on the development of HepatAssist-2 before continuing the development of LIVERAID. A glossary of certain terms used in this Annual Report is contained on page 18 below.
