Amarantus Bioscience Holdings Inc (AMBS)

(IMPORTANT)The cause for the delay is the Company is conferring with leading academics and collaborators to confirm various aspects of the data results in order to ensure complete accuracy and transparency. The Company believes confirmation of the results with leaders in the field prior to release to the public is in the best interests of its shareholders.

I'm going to read between the lines on the underlined statement.
It suggests to me that AMBS learned from the 'misunderstanding' that ensued with the MJFF as to what the MJFF believed about the earlier data and what AMBS believed about MJJF's understanding of the data.
Hence the decison to

confer with leading academics and collaborators to confirm various aspects of the data results in order to ensure complete accuracy and transparency

Also, if there is in fact a consensus among the "leaders in the field' about the validity of the latest data.....which we'll certainly learn one way or another on the 8th.....then AMBS will
have a stronger case to make not only with the MJFF, but with other potential benefactors/partners.

In conclusion I think that we should be reassured as investors that AMBS is a 'learning' enterprise in every sense of that word, including as it may pertain to any mistakes it may make or any misunderstandings it may contribute to.
