Investment in Saneron CCEL Therapeutics, Inc. ("Saneron") | Note 3 - Investment in Saneron CCEL Therapeutics, Inc. (“Saneron”) As of August 31, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the Company had an ownership interest of approximately 34% in Saneron, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. During 2006, the Company ceased recording its share of Saneron’s losses once the investment balance was written down to the total amount of goodwill, as goodwill is not amortized. As of August 31, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the net Saneron investment, which represents goodwill, is reflected on the consolidated balance sheets at $684,000. As of August 31, 2013 and November 30, 2012, management reviewed the Saneron investment to determine if there were any indicators that would imply that the investment was impaired. Based on management’s review, there were no indicators of other than temporary impairment and goodwill was not impaired as of August 31, 2013 and November 30, 2012. For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2013, the Company recorded equity in losses of Saneron operations of approximately $39,000 and $115,000, respectively, related to certain stock and warrant awards in Saneron common stock that were granted by Saneron at below fair value to certain employees, consultants and members of Saneron management who represent owners of Saneron and serve on its board of directors. For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2012, the Company recorded equity in losses of Saneron operations of approximately $38,000 and $116,000, respectively, related to certain stock and warrant awards in Saneron common stock that were granted by Saneron at below fair value to certain employees, consultants and members of Saneron management who represent owners of Saneron and serve on its board of directors. The Company will continue to record equity in losses of affiliates related to stock compensation expense as this offsets additional paid-in capital and not the investment balance. As of August 31, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the Company has classified the Company’s portion of the value of Company stock held by Saneron of approximately $485,000 within stockholders’ deficit as treasury stock.
