Net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 includes approximately $12,500 expensed for stock-based compensation costs for management.  As of June 30, 2012, there was approximately $155,555 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock-based compensation for the restricted shares granted to management that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 30 months.

On May 19, 2010, the Company entered into an investor relations agreement with Malcolm McGuire & Associates, L.L.C. (“McGuire”) and amended the agreement on June 11, 2010.  The Company terminated the agreement with McGuire, effective February 29, 2012.  Therefore, we did not incur any related expenses during the three-month period ended June 30, 2012.

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, we expensed stock-based compensation costs of $115,198 for management.  Also, we incurred $3,762 in stock-based compensation expense related to the 7,500 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock granted to McGuire during the three-month period ended June 30, 2011.  Together these expenses total $118,960; which are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
