Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has commitments of approximately $280,000 at September 30, 2011 in connection with an agreement with Numoda Corporation for electronic data capture in connection with its confirmatory Phase 3 clinical trial of orBec® in the treatment of acute GI GVHD that began in October 2009 and was stopped for futility in September 2011.

The Company also has several licensing agreements with consultants and universities, which upon clinical or commercialization success may require the payment of milestones and/or royalties if and when achieved. However, there can be no assurance that clinical or commercialization success will occur.

On April 1, 2009, the Company entered into a sub-lease agreement through March 31, 2012 for office space in Princeton, New Jersey. The Company was required to provide 4 months of rent as a security deposit. The rent for the first 18 months was approximately $7,500 per month, or $17.00 per square foot. This rent increased to approximately $7,650 per month, or $17.50 per square foot, for the remaining 18 months. The Company records rent on a straight line basis.
