Related Party Transactions

In April 2012 the Company entered into a financial advisory services agreement with Heathcote Capital LLC (Heathcote) pursuant to which they were to provide the Company with exclusive financial advisory services in connection with a possible strategic transaction. Gary J. Heller, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, is the principal of Heathcote. Accordingly, the agreement constitutes a related party transaction and was reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

On September 27, 2013, the Company and Heathcote further modified this agreement to provide for investor relations activities specifically related to the exercise of the outstanding warrants and the trading volume in the Company’s stock. On November 5, 2014, the Company and Heathcote further modified this agreement to provide for investor relations activities and corporate finance projects as determined by the CEO of the company. The modifications were approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Total amounts paid to Heathcote were $0 and $15,000 for the six month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
