The Company has in place a 2010 Equity Incentive Plan and a 2008 Equity Incentive Plan both of which are described in more detail in the Company’s 2013 Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A. In general, these plans provide for stock-based compensation in the form (i) Non-statutory Stock Options; (ii) Restricted Stock Awards; and (iii) Stock Appreciation Rights to the Company’s employees, directors and non-employees. The plans also provide for limits on the aggregate number of shares that may be granted, the term of grants and the strike price of option awards.

Included in the balances outstanding in the table above are 10,000,000 options granted to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its President at the time of commencement of their employment in fiscal 2011, of which 5,000,000 contain only service-based vesting provisions and 5,000,000 contain both service and performance-based vesting provisions.  The service-based provisions of these options provide for vesting to occur monthly over a period of three years.  The performance-based conditions, which had to be met prior to vesting to occur include: (i) closing of one or more financings of the Company in the aggregate amount of at least $5,000,000; (ii) bringing in new Company management; (iii) launching of personalized medicine (oncology) business; and (iv) commencing implementation of the Company’s business plan.   The service-based options, like all of the Company’s service-based options, are expensed on a straight-line basis.  Since the straight-line method is not available for performance or market-based share-based payments, the 5,000,000 performance-based options are being expensed on an accelerated basis.      The Company’s Board of Directors determined that in April 2011 each of the performance conditions under the awards were met.
 
Subsequent to  July 31, 2013, but prior to the issuance of this Form 10Q, the company granted approximately 1.3 million options to certain employees for a weighted average exercise price of $1.33.
