Financial Review

The Company's loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 increased by $406,777 to $1,291,536 ($0.01 per common share) from the loss of $884,759 ($0.01 per common share) reported for the three month period ended March 31, 2009. The primary reason for the increase in loss was an increase in research and development expenses, an increase in the stock option expense and an increase in general administration expenses and professional fees. The increase in the current period's loss was also due to the recording of a foreign exchange loss as compared to an exchange gain recorded in the first quarter of 2009.

Dr. Alan Moore, President & CEO of SCT commented as follows:

"The modified REGENESIS- Phase IIb stroke trial has entered into the final stages of data analysis and the reporting of top-line results. With the solid efforts of our team we are anticipating the release of top-line primary endpoint results for the Phase IIb clinical trial on May 25th, 2010. In addition, the Company had a successful AGM with six board members being re-elected and Dr. Milner join SCT as a new board of director. The first quarter of 2010 has been one of huge accomplishment in the Company's development. The commitment of senior management, staff and the research and development team has been important in maintaining our financial position and has put the Company in a good position to complete our remaining objectives in 2010."
