Please find in the body of this document answers to most of the questions you
sent to our organization initiated by your meeting with the Ministry of Health. As
established in our previous conversation, we still need to extend ourselves to
SMMC (St. Maarten Medical Center) to develop a cooperation agreement
between our two entities. We have addressed in this letter that we will not be
hiring any positions of specialty and will, therefore, not be in any conflict with the
hospital. Any laboratory services that we may require in St. Maarten can be
referred to existing establishments.

You have already received the original notarized document authorizing the two of
you to discuss on our behalf any relevant issues as they relate to the public and/or
private sectors. In addition, you have received all the requisite documents from
Monique Rollings that were previously sent over to her by our organization. We
are awaiting authorization from the Ministry before we secure a location, so we
don’t currently have an answer in regards to the anticipated location of our clinic.
The remaining body of this letter addresses the other questions that were asked
in your correspondence with us dated 4/13/2014. Please take note of the
additional attachment with references of cell therapy benefits.

Our team will employ the highest ethical and medical standards to relieve
suffering from chronic diseases and injury. We will use adult stem cells derived
directly from our patients’ tissues. Therefore, our team will eliminate any risk
associated with embryonic stem cells which we will not use. The stem cells will be
delivered back into the patient’s injured tissues to promote cellular repair and
regeneration. The average length of stay for our clients will be 1 week. A summary
list of therapeutic services is as follows:

 To ensure the safety and satisfaction of services provided to each patient
 To ingratiate our company with the government of St. Maarten, the
community as a whole, and to the local hospital
 To build relationships with local businesses including, but not limited to, the
tourism sector, ancillary medical facilities, and all requisite supply
companies as they relate to our practice needs
 To recruit and train local individuals to serve in our organization. These
individuals will be recruited from the general population and will not be
required to have specialized talents therefore eliminating any conflict of
interest with SMMC or any other already established organizations within
the medical fields of St. Maarten.
 To ensure that patient data is properly gathered, processed, and studied for
the advancement of Cellular Medicine as a whole and for our future patient
base
Certain Cell, BV projects a net income of $1.5 million in year one. Future growth
of the company will be carefully planned only after the establishment that the
above criteria are met. Certain Cell, BV will also develop a charitable arm to
provide treatments for the underserved population and to contribute to local
organizations and to the interests of St. Maarten. While our company is a forprofit venture, it realizes the importance it has to the overall advancement of
Cellular Medicine and to the importance of establishing strong, long-lasting ties
with St. Maarten and its diverse communities.
