or against, or abstain from voting on, the ratification of our selection of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting
firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2017. If a stockholder of record does not indicate instructions with respect to one

instructions by the beneficial holder of the shares and a lack of discretionary authority on the part of the bank, broker, or other
nominee to vote on a particular matter, then the shares covered by such broker non-vote proxy shall be deemed present at the Annual

that its responsibilities include the oversight of the Company&rsquo;s accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits
of its financial statements and assisting the Board of Directors in monitoring the integrity of the Company&rsquo;s financial statements,
the qualifications and independence of the Company&rsquo;s independent auditors, the performance of the Company&rsquo;s internal

30, 2016 in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the &ldquo;<I>PCAOB</I>&rdquo;).

The independent auditors and management are required to periodically report to our audit committee regarding the extent of services

of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting entitled to vote. Accordingly, an abstention from voting
by a stockholder present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting has the same legal effect as a vote &ldquo;against&rdquo;
the matter because it represents a share present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote, thereby
increasing the number of affirmative votes required to approve this proposal. The ratification of the appointment of Marcum as

Brokers, banks, and other nominees that do not receive voting instructions from beneficial owners of our common stock may generally

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The Board of Directors has determined that
currently and at all times during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, each of our directors other than Dr. Hayward&mdash;consisting
of John Bitzer, III, Robert B. Catell, Joseph D. Ceccoli, Charles S. Ryan, Yacov A. Shamash, and Sanford R. Simon&mdash;are and
were &ldquo;independent&rdquo; as defined by the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (&ldquo;Nasdaq&rdquo;), constituting
a majority of independent directors on our Board of Directors as required by the rules of Nasdaq. The Board of Directors considers
in its evaluation of independence whether any director has a relationship with us that would interfere with the exercise of independent
judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities of a director.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Our Board of Directors does not have a policy
on whether the same person should serve as both the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board or, if the roles are separate,
whether the Chairman should be selected from the non-employee directors or should be an employee. The Board of Directors believes
that Dr. Hayward&rsquo;s dual role as both Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer serves the best interests of both
us and our stockholders. His combined role enables decisive leadership, ensures clear accountability, and enhances our ability
to communicate our message and strategy clearly and consistently to our stockholders, employees, customers and suppliers. Dr. Hayward
possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing us and our business and is thus best
positioned to develop agendas that ensure that the time and attention of the Board of Directors are focused on the most critical
matters. This structure also enables our Chief Executive Officer to act as a bridge between management and the Board of Directors,
helping both to act with a common purpose.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The Board of Directors appreciates that
the advantages gained by having a single Chairman and Chief Executive Officer must be viewed in light of potential independence
concerns. The Board considers, however, that we have adequate safeguards in place to address those concerns, including, for example,
our Board of Directors consisting of a supermajority of independent directors. In addition, our audit, compensation and nominating
committees, which oversee critical matters such as the integrity of our financial statements, the compensation of executive management,
the selection and evaluation of directors, and the development and implementation of corporate governance policies, each consist
entirely of independent directors.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Our risk management program is overseen
by our Chief Executive Officer. Material risks are identified and prioritized by management, and each prioritized risk is referred
to a Board committee or the full Board of Directors for oversight. For example, strategic risks are referred to the full Board
while financial risks are referred to the audit committee. The Board of Directors regularly reviews information regarding our liquidity
and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. Also, the compensation committee periodically reviews the most important
risks to our business to ensure that compensation programs do not encourage excessive risk-taking and promote our goals and objectives.</P>

of Directors does not believe that such a separate policy is necessary because our bylaws permit stockholders to nominate candidates
and one of the duties set forth in the nominating committee charter is to consider director candidates submitted by stockholders
in accordance with our bylaws. The nominating committee will evaluate individuals recommended by stockholders for nomination as
directors according to the criteria discussed above and in accordance with our bylaws and the procedures described under &ldquo;Stockholder

The nominating committee will evaluate any candidates recommended by stockholders against the same criteria and pursuant to the
same policies and procedures applicable to the evaluation of candidates proposed by our directors, executive officers, third-party
search firms or other sources. In evaluating proposed director candidates, the nominating committee may consider, in addition to
any minimum qualifications and other criteria for Board of Directors membership approved by the Board of Directors from time to
time, all facts and circumstances that it deems appropriate or advisable, including, among other things, the proposed director
candidate&rsquo;s understanding of our business and industry on a technical level, his or her judgment and skills, his or her depth
and breadth of professional experience or other background characteristics, his or her independence, his or her willingness to
devote the time and effort necessary to be an effective board member, and the needs of the Board of Directors. We do not have a
formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees. However, the Board of Directors believes
that it is essential that its members represent diverse viewpoints, with a broad array of experiences, professions, skills, geographic
representation and backgrounds that, when considered as a group, provide a sufficient mix of perspectives to allow the Board of
Directors to best fulfill its responsibilities to the long-term interests of our stockholders. The nominating committee considers
at least annually, and recommends to the Board of Directors suggested changes to, if any, the size, composition, organization and
governance of the Board of Directors and its committees.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Compensation Overview</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Our compensation approach is necessarily
tied to our stage of development as a company. We are principally devoted to developing DNA embedded biotechnology security solutions
and to date, have had a limited operating history. As a company with a limited operating history with our current business model,
we have necessarily limited the establishment of extensive administrative and operating infrastructure, and a formal executive
compensation policy has not been established. We have a compensation committee of the Board of Directors that is responsible for
all compensation matters of our Chief Executive Officer. The compensation of all our other named executive officers is approved
by our Board of Directors upon the recommendation of our compensation committee, which in turn reviewed the recommendation of our
Chief Executive Officer. As discussed below, the recommendation of our Chief Executive Officer is largely discretionary, based
on his subjective assessment of the particular executive. As we continue to grow, we expect that the specific direction, emphasis
and components of our executive compensation program will continue to evolve. The compensation committee has overall responsibility
for approving and evaluating our executive officers&rsquo; compensation plans, policies and programs. Our compensation program
is designed to employ best practices in executive compensation and consider all relevant regulatory guidance regarding sound incentive
compensation policies. The remainder of this section provides a general summary of our compensation policies and procedures.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The fundamental purpose of our executive
compensation program is to assist us in achieving our financial and operating performance objectives. Specifically, we attempt
to tailor an executive&rsquo;s compensation to (1) retain and motivate the executive, (2) reward him or her upon the achievement
of company-wide, and individual performance, and (3) align the executive&rsquo;s interest with the creation of long-term stockholder
value, without encouraging excessive risk taking. To that end, and within the context of the stage of our company, we have compensated
our named executive officers through a mix of base salary, equity-based incentives, and cash bonuses.</P>

to establish long-term relationships with clients and to maintain our strong mission, client focus, entrepreneurial spirit and
team orientation. We have sought to create an executive compensation package that balances short-term versus long-term components
when considering cash bonuses and employee equity awards, in ways we believe are most appropriate to motivate senior management
and reward them for achieving the following goals:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The compensation committee establishes and
monitors the basic philosophy governing the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer. On an annual basis, the compensation committee
reviews and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer including
incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans. Currently, compensation decisions for all other of our executive officers
are approved by our Board of Directors upon the recommendation of our compensation committee, which in turn reviewed the recommendation
of our Chief Executive Officer. We have traditionally placed significant emphasis on the recommendation of our Chief Executive
Officer with respect to the determination of executive compensation (other than his own), in particular with respect to the determination
of base salary, cash incentive and equity incentive awards, and typically followed such recommendations as presented by our Chief
Executive Officer. However, the compensation committee in reviewing such recommendations is free to make decisions that are contrary
to the Chief Executive Officer&rsquo;s recommendations. As we continue to grow, we will make the transition to have our compensation
committee be solely responsible for administering our executive compensation program, although we expect to continue to rely, in
part, upon the advice and recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer (other than with respect to his own compensation), particularly
with respect to those executive officers that report directly to him. The compensation committee&rsquo;s composition and oversight
of our executive compensation program is described in more detail below in the section entitled &ldquo;&mdash;Compensation Committee.&rdquo;</P>

officer compensation in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 and in prior fiscal years, we considered the following factors:
our understanding of the amount of compensation generally paid by similarly situated companies to their executives with similar
roles and responsibilities; the roles and responsibilities of our executives; the individual experience and skills of, and expected
contributions from, our executives; the amounts of compensation being paid to our other executives; our executives&rsquo; historical
compensation at our company; an assessment of the professional effectiveness and capabilities of the executive officer; and the
performance of the executive officer against the corporate and other scorecards used to determine incentive compensation. While
we have not used any formula or formal benchmarking to determine compensation based on these factors, we have placed the most emphasis
in determining compensation on our understanding of the amount of compensation generally paid by similarly situated companies to
their executives with similar roles and responsibilities and the subjective assessment of the professional effectiveness and capabilities
of the executive officer. Our understanding of the amount of compensation generally paid by similarly situated companies was based
on our compensation committee&rsquo;s and our Chief Executive Officer&rsquo;s own business judgment and collective experience in
such matters.</P>

bonuses in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement as well as based on the discretion of the compensation committee
and approval by the Board of Directors. We pay discretionary cash bonuses to our other named executive officers, which are recommended
by the Chief Executive Officer. The cash bonuses, if any, which are determined after the end of each fiscal year and may be paid
annually, are intended to recognize and reward those named executive officers who have contributed meaningfully to our performance
for the prior year. Both personal and the Company&rsquo;s performance are factors that the Board of Directors and Chief Executive
Officer typically consider in deciding whether to award a cash bonus to a named executive officer and the amount of such bonus.
No cash bonuses were paid to executive officers for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 due to the performance of the Company.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Our long-term compensation program has historically
consisted solely of stock options. Option grants made to executive officers are designed to provide them with incentive to execute
their responsibilities in such a way as to generate long-term benefit to us and our stockholders. Through possession of stock options,
our executives participate in the long-term results of their efforts, whether by appreciation of our Company&rsquo;s value or the
impact of business setbacks, either company-specific or industry-based. Additionally, stock options provide a means of ensuring
the retention of our executive officers, in that they are in most cases subject to vesting over an extended period of time.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Stock options provide executives with a
significant and long-term interest in our success. By only rewarding the creation of stockholder value, we believe stock options
provide our executive officers with an effective risk and reward profile. Although it is our current practice to use stock options
as our sole form of long-term incentive compensation, the compensation committee reviews this practice on an annual basis in light
of our overall business strategy, existing market-competitive best practices and other factors.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Stock options are granted periodically and
are subject to vesting based on the executive&rsquo;s continued employment. Historically we have granted our executive officers
a combination of incentive stock options that vest over a period of time or stock options that are immediately exercisable. Most
options vest evenly over four years, beginning on the anniversary of the date of the grant.</P>

On July 28, 2016, a new employment agreement was entered into with the Chief Executive Officer, effective July 1, 2016. The initial
term is from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, with automatic one-year renewal periods. The agreement provides that Dr. Hayward
will be our Chief Executive Officer, and will continue to serve on our Board of Directors. Pursuant to the contract, Dr. Hayward&rsquo;s
annual salary is $400,000. The Board of Directors, acting in its discretion, may grant annual bonuses to Dr. Hayward. Dr. Hayward
will be eligible for a special cash incentive bonus of up to $800,000, $300,000 of which will be payable if and when annual revenue
reaches $8 million and $100,000 of which would be payable for each $2 million of annual revenue in excess of $8 million. Dr. Hayward

sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly

or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive
a separate proxy statement in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies of the proxy statement and wish for only one
copy to be delivered to your household in the future, please notify (i) your broker (or other nominee) if your shares are held
in a brokerage or similar account or (ii) the Company if you hold registered shares in your own name. We will promptly deliver
