In the year ended February 29, 2012, we issued 2,460,849 shares of common stock, with 1,288,333 five year warrants attached with exercise prices ranging from $0.50-$0.75, for cash proceeds of $1,453,520; 2,227,612 shares were issued upon the conversion of $1,515,960 of notes payable and accrued interest; 1,006,054 shares were issued in settlement of $599,492 of accounts payable; 2,484,999 shares were issued for marketing services, investor relation services and finders fees valued at $1,153,000; and 3,042,199 shares were issued to employees in lieu of $2,259,865 in unpaid salary.

Employee Stock Options
 
In September, 2006, our Board of Directors adopted the 2006 Employee Stock Option Plan, subject to shareholder approval, which was obtained at a special shareholders meeting.   Under the Plan, the Company may grant options for up to the greater of Three Million (3,000,000) or 10% of the number of shares of the Common Stock of Aura from time to time outstanding. The exercise price of each option shall be at least equal to the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant. The term of the options may not be greater than ten years, and they typically vest over a three year period.

During fiscal 2011, the Board of Directors determined that, in order to provide incentives to its employees, it was in the best interest of the Company to re-price the outstanding employee options that had been granted.  Accordingly, the outstanding options were re-priced to an exercise price of $0.75 with all other terms remaining the same.  In accordance with FASB ASC 718, the Company accounted for this transaction as a modification.  Accordingly, the decremental compensation cost resulting from this modification was determined to be $59,242 calculated as the difference between the fair value of the modified award and the fair value of the original award immediately before it was modified.  The fair values were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing.  Assumptions used for the modified award were a risk free rate of return of 1.125%, volatility of 83.6%, a dividend yield of 0%, and an expected life of 3.5 years and 4.2 years.
 
Also during the year ended February 29, 2012, the Company granted 424,000 options to certain employees.  These options vest over three years, have an exercise price of $.75, and have a five year life.  The grant date fair value of these options amounted to $94,360 which was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:  risk free rate of return of 1.125%, volatility of 90.39%, a dividend yield of 0%, and an expected life of 5 years.
 
The Company incurred stock options related expenses of $162,940 and $6,221,074, during the years ended February 29, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
