Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.
     The Merger Agreement between us and National Quality Care, Inc. (NQCI) dated September 1, 2006, which was disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 1, 2006 and attached as Exhibit 2.1 to our Quarterly Report filed on November 17, 2006, provided in Section 6(A)(4): “For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, under no circumstances, other than as caused by its own Uncured Breach, will [Xcorporeal] have any obligation to issue or deliver any [Xcorporeal] Shares after December 31, 2006, unless the Parties mutually agree to extend such date.” The parties did not mutually agree to extend such date. Therefore, we have no further obligation to issue or deliver any shares of our common stock to consummate a transaction with NQCI.
     In addition, on December 29, 2006, NQCI served us with written notice that it was terminating the Merger Agreement. On January 2, 2006, we served NQCI with written notice that we consent to the termination of the Merger Agreement.
     Accordingly, the Merger Agreement is now terminated. We will not be proceeding with any merger with NQCI.
Item 5.02 Departure Of Directors Or Principal Officers; Election Of Directors; Appointment Of Principal Officers.
     Effective January 2, 2007, Robert S. Stefanovich, age 42, became our interim Chief Financial Officer.

He received his Masters of Finance/Accounting and Engineering from University of Darmstadt, Germany.
     Mr. Stefanovich entered into our standard form of Innovation, Proprietary Information and Confidentiality Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. He also entered into a consulting agreement with us pursuant to which he will be compensated at a rate of $150 per hour for the services he performs. There are no family relationships between Mr. Stefanovich and any of our directors or other executive officers, and he has not had a material interest in any of our transactions.

     On January 3, 2007, we issued the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
     On December 20, 2006, an arbitration that we initiated against NQCI was formally commenced by the JAMS arbitration service for NQCI’s failure to fully perform its obligations under our License Agreement dated September 1, 2006, which was disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 1, 2006 and attached as Exhibit 10.4 to our Quarterly Report filed on November 17, 2006.
     On December 29, 2006, NQCI served us with a written notice purporting to terminate the License Agreement for unspecified alleged breaches. On January 2, 2006, we advised NQCI that we did not consent to termination of the License Agreement, that we have not breached the License Agreement, and that NQCI has no right to unilaterally terminate the License Agreement in any event.
     To date we have accomplished the following milestones, substantially in excess of the requirements under the License Agreement:
    Raised $29.4 million in equity financing
 
    Recruited experienced independent board members
 
    Recruited a top industry management team
 
    Advanced the clinical studies for the licensed technology
 
    Paid NQCI in excess of $1.2 million in product development expenses, which it accepted without objection.
     Section 4(B) of the License Agreement provides: “Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement: ... for uncured material breach of a material term of this Agreement by the other Party, by giving formal written notice specifying the breach, and such breach has continued without cure for a period of (a) thirty (30) days after such notice or (b) if the Party receiving such a notice (i) concludes in good faith that there the conduct alleged to be occurring is not occurring or does not constitute a material breach of this Agreement, and (ii) timely initiates an arbitration proceeding in accordance with Section 9.H, thirty (30) days after entry of the arbitration award.” NQCI has never given formal written notice specifying any breach of the License Agreement. In addition, we have commenced an arbitration proceeding against NQCI for its breaches. Accordingly, the License Agreement cannot be terminated.
     On December 29, 2006, notwithstanding the prior pendency of the arbitration proceeding, NQCI filed a lawsuit in state superior court against us and one of our officers and directors. We have thoroughly reviewed the complaint with our outside counsel and have determined that it is frivolous and without merit. We do not believe there is any reasonable likelihood that NQCI can prevail on its claims.
     Unless otherwise required by law, we disclaim any obligation to release publicly any updates or changes in our expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any forward-looking statements are based.
