This excerpt taken from the PRXI 10-K filed May 7, 2009. “Bodies...The Exhibition,” “Bodies Revealed” and “Our Body: The Universe Within” We presently have the rights to multiple human anatomy sets, each of which contains a collection of whole human body specimens plus single human organs and body parts, which are known as “Bodies Revealed,” “Bodies...The Exhibition” and “Our Body: The Universe Within.” We acquired the rights to produce these exhibitions through separate exhibition agreements. Most recently, on December 3, 2007, we acquired the license rights to present and promote three additional full sets of human anatomy specimens pursuant to an agreement with the sole owner of The Universe Within Touring Company, LLC., whereby we acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of such entity. These specimens are assembled into anatomy-based exhibitions featuring preserved human bodies, organs and body parts to offer the public an opportunity to view the intricacies and complexities of the human body. The exhibitions include displays of dissected human bodies which are permanently preserved through a process called polymer preservation, also known as plastination. In essence, the bodies are drained of all fat and fluids, which are replaced with polymers such as silicone rubber, epoxy and polyester. This preserves the flesh and maintains its natural look. Skin from the bodies is removed, or partially removed, to reveal musculoskeletal, nervous, circulatory, and reproductive or digestive systems. The full body specimens are complimented by presentation cases of related individual organs and body parts, both healthy and diseased, that provide a detailed look into the elements that comprise each system. Our “Bodies Revealed” exhibition debuted in August 2004 in Blackpool, England and was the first non-Titanic exhibition we produced. During fiscal 2009, we presented our nineteen separate human anatomy exhibitions at 33 venues. These excerpts taken from the PRXI 10-K filed May 7, 2008. “Bodies...The

We presently have the rights to multiple human anatomy sets,
each of which contains a collection of whole human body
specimens plus single human organs and body parts, which are
known as “Bodies Revealed,” “Bodies...The
Exhibition,” and “Our Body: The Universe Within.”
We acquired the rights to produce these exhibitions through
separate exhibition agreements. Most recently, on
December 3, 2007, we acquired the license rights to present
and promote three additional full sets of human anatomy
specimens pursuant to an agreement with the sole owner of The
Universe Within Touring Company, LLC., whereby we acquired all
of the outstanding membership interests of such entity.
These specimens are assembled into anatomy-based exhibitions
featuring preserved human bodies, organs and body parts to offer
the public an opportunity to view the intricacies and
complexities of the human body. The exhibitions include displays
of dissected human bodies which are permanently preserved
through a process called polymer preservation, also known as
plastination. In essence, the bodies are drained of all fat and

that provide a detailed look into the elements that comprise
each system.
Our “Bodies Revealed” exhibition debuted in August
2004 in Blackpool, England and was the first non-Titanic
exhibition we produced. During fiscal 2008, we presented fifteen
separate human anatomy exhibitions at 28 venues.
