Genomics USA, Inc. (dba GMS Biotech). In May 2006, the Company purchased 144,024 shares of GUSA common stock for $200,000. As of September 30, 2012, the Company owned approximately 2% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of GUSA. The Company uses the cost method to account for this investment since the Company does not control nor have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies. In accordance with the cost method, the investment is recorded at cost and impairment is considered in accordance with the Company’s impairment policy. No impairment was recognized for the periods ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011.

The Company currently has a note receivable from GUSA in the principal amount of $200,000, convertible into ten percent of the issued and outstanding stock of GUSA (the "GUSA Note"), which GUSA Note, together with accrued interest of approximately $87,689, is currently due and payable. On September 24, 2012, the Company sent a final notice to GUSA, demanding immediate payment in full of all amounts due under the terms of the GUSA Note. GUSA has made certain claims to avoid repayment of the GUSA Note. The Company believes that all amounts due under the GUSA Note are valid claims of the Company and is currently evaluating a strategy to collect all principal and interest amounts due under the GUSA Note in cash or in exchange for cash and GUSA assets. If the Company is unable to secure repayment of the GUSA Note and accrued interest on terms acceptable to the Board of Directors, the Company intends to bring suit against GUSA and its officers to secure full payment.

NuRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("NuRx"). In July 2011, the Company settled all disputes relating to the Company's interest in QN Diagnostics, LLC, a joint venture between the Company and NuRx.

The Company continues to deem the value of the NuRx shares to be fully impaired at September 30, 2012.
