      About Xcorporeal
    
    
      Xcorporeal, Inc. is a medical device company developing an innovative extra-corporeal 
      platform technology to be used in devices to replace the function of 
      various human organs. The platform leads to three initial products: a 
      Portable Artificial Kidney (PAK) for hospital based Renal Replacement 
      Therapy, the XCR-6 for home hemodialysis, and a Wearable Artificial 
      Kidney (WAK) for continuous ambulatory hemodialysis.
    
    
      For the hospital market, Xcorporeal is developing a portable, 
      multi-functional renal replacement device that will offer cost-effective 
      therapy for those patients suffering from Acute Renal Failure, which 
      causes a rapid decline in kidney function. In the U.S., the disease 
      affects more than 200,000 patients annually with a mortality rate 
      approaching 50%, according to a study published in the Clinical Journal 
      of American Society of Nephrology in 2006. The Company has completed a 
      functional prototype of the product, which is currently undergoing bench 
      testing, and anticipates submitting 510(k) filings, for the device and 
      attendant disposable components, with the Food and Drug Administration 
      (FDA) during 2009.
    
    
      The Company also plans to commercialize the XCR-6, a home hemodialysis 
      device, for the chronic End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) market, comprised 
      of patients in whom the kidneys have ceased to function. The Company’s 
      devices are intended to combine the best attributes of currently 
      marketed home hemodialysis machines to offer patients convenient, 
      durable and truly portable treatments at home. The Company believes its 
      devices will provide a cost-effective alternative to current home 
      treatment modalities, due to their ability to offer hemodialysis without 
      the need for large quantities of dialysate fluid or purified water. The 
      Company has also completed a functional prototype of the XCR-6, which is 
      currently undergoing bench testing, and anticipates submitting a 510(k) 
      with the FDA during 2010.
    
    
      The Company’s WAK is also a device for the 
      chronic treatment of ESRD. The Company has successfully demonstrated a 
      prototype system that weighs less than 6 kg., is battery operated, and 
      can be worn by an ambulatory patient. This miniature, wearable device is 
      intended to enable continuous (up to 24 hours × 
      7 days per week) renal replacement therapy at home. Increasing dialysis 
      time has previously been shown to reduce morbidity and improve quality 
      of life of ESRD patients. The WAK has been featured in articles written 
      by the Los Angeles Times, The Lancet, Kidney International, and various 
      other medical periodicals.
