The Company leased its corporate headquarters on a month-to-month basis. For the periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, rent expense was approximately $12,500 and $12,500, respectively.

In October 2011, the Company entered into employment agreements with terms that commence on October 1, 2011 and run through a range of dates with the latest being September 2014. These agreements have a cumulative annual salary of approximately $156,000 annually and cumulative grants of fully vested stock issuances of 850,000 shares of stock. Upon signing the employment agreements, all unearned stock compensation from the previous employment agreements was recognized in full, as the employees were not required to forfeit their previous granted shares of common stock. At the October 1, 2011 grant date, the Company recognized approximately $279,000 in stock-based compensation related to the above grants of common stock, and grants made during 2010. Additionally, the employees were granted 850,000 fully vested common stock options, with an exercise price of $0.25 per share, and expire five years from the date of grant. The grants of common stock and common stock options were essentially sign-on bonuses, and accordingly, the grant-date fair values were recognized as compensation expense at the October 1, 2011 grant date.

In January 2013, the Company entered into employment agreements with terms that commence on January 1, 2013 and run through December 31, 2013. These agreements have a cumulative annual salary of approximately $104,000 annually and cumulative grants of fully vested stock issuances of 450,000 shares of stock. At the January 1, 2013 grant date, the Company recognized approximately $1,350 in stock-based compensation related to the above grants of common stock made during 2013. Additionally, the employees were entitled to receive a bonus of 1,250,000 common stock options, with an exercise price of $0.05 per share, and expire five years from the date of grant. The grants of common stock and common stock options were essentially sign-on bonuses, and accordingly, the grant-date fair values were recognized as compensation expense at the January 1, 2013.

The Company has entered into various other agreements that have been disclosed in previous 10K and 10Q filings. These agreements have been put on hold but will be further pursued as adequate funding is generated.
