On January 29, 2007, the Company acquired a license from Shriners' Hospitals for Children and University of South Florida Research Foundation, Inc.  The acquisition price of this license was a one-time fee of $100,000 and 1,120,000 shares of common stock valued at $896,000 (based upon the estimated fair value of the common stock on the transaction date).  Within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of approval by the FDA allowing the sale of the first licensed product, the Company is required to pay an additional $200,000 to the licensor.  Due to its contingent nature, this amount is not recorded as a liability. The Company will also be required to pay a royalty of 3% on all commercial sales revenues from the licensed products.

License from SaluMedica, LLC (SaluMedica) for the use of certain developed technologies related to spine repair.  This license was acquired through the acquisition of SpineMedica Corp.
