Board Composition

The board of directors has no independent directors as of March 31, 2010.  No directors qualified as independent directors under the standards set forth in the listing requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market, or NASDAQ, based on representations from each director and a review of any relevant transactions or relationships between each director, any member of his or her family, and the Company, its senior management and its independent registered public accounting firm.  The NASDAQ definition of independence includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members, has engaged in various types of business dealings with us.  In making these determinations, the Company’s directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and the Company with regard to each director’s business and personal activities as they may relate to the Company and its management.

Director Nomination Process

The Nominating and Governance Committee, the functions of which are currently performed by the full board of directors, will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders.  Stockholders who wish to recommend to the committee candidates for election to the Board of Directors must do so in writing.  The recommendation should be sent to the Secretary of the Company, 2658 Del Mar Heights Road, Del Mar, CA 92014, who will, in turn, forward the recommendation to the Nominating and Governance Committee.  The recommendation must set forth (i) the name and address as they appear on the Company’s books of the stockholder making the recommendation and the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Company beneficially owned by such stockholder and (ii) the name of the candidate and all information relating to the candidate that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors under the federal proxy rules.  The recommendation must be accompanied by the candidate’s written consent to being named in the Company’s proxy statement as a nominee for election to the Board and to serving as a director, if elected.  Stockholders must also comply with all requirements of the Company’s bylaws with respect to nomination of persons for election to the Board of Directors.  The Company may also require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as the Company or the committee may reasonably require to determine the eligibility and qualifications of the nominee to serve as a director.  In performing its evaluation and review, the committee generally does not differentiate between candidates proposed by stockholders and other proposed nominees, except that the committee may consider, as one of the factors in its evaluation of stockholder recommended candidates, the size and duration of the interest of the recommending stockholder or stockholder group in the equity of the Company.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership (Forms 3, 4 and 5) with the SEC.  Executive officers, directors and greater-than-10% holders are required to furnish us with copies of all of these forms which they file.

Based solely on our review of these reports or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during fiscal year 2010, all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors, greater-than-10% beneficial owners and other persons subject to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act were met.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all directors, officers and employees of the Company.  The Company will provide any person, without charge, a copy of the Code.  Requests for a copy of the Code may be made by writing to the Company at Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, 2658 Del Mar Heights Rd., #555, Del Mar, CA 92014, Attention: Chief Financial Officer.

These shares were issued by Adamis before the merger with Cellegy.  These shares are subject to repurchase by the Company at $0.001 per share if certain value or performance targets are not met by June 30, 2010, or if the stockholder ceases to be employed at any time before dates ranging from July 2009 to September 2010, depending on the date of first employment of the officer, with the time-based vesting restrictions lapsing with respect to one-third of the shares originally issued subject to these arrangements on each anniversary of the date of first employment which range from July 2006 to September 2007.  On June 30, 2010, the performance targets referenced above were not met and the Company acquired a repurchase option to repurchase all restricted shares listed in this table.  The repurchase option is exercisable for a period of ninety (90) days from June 30, 2010 or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Company and the restricted stockholder (the “Exercise Period”).  The performance based repurchase option will terminate if the repurchase option is not exercised during the Exercise Period.

The repurchase option will also terminate upon either (a) a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the capital stock of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, represents less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity (or, if the surviving entity is a wholly owned subsidiary, its parent) immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization; (b) a transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is a party in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Company's voting power is transferred; provided that (a) and (b) shall not include (x) any consolidation or merger effected exclusively to change the domicile of the Company, or (y) any transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which cash is received by the Company or any successor or indebtedness of the Company is cancelled or converted or a combination thereof; and (c) a sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

 
(2)
The market value of the restricted shares has been calculated by multiplying the closing market price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the OTCBB on March 31, 2010 which was $0.21 by the number of restricted shares held by each named executive officer.

Includes options to purchase a total of 26,388 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2010, all of which are no longer exercisable.
(2)
The value of option awards has been estimated pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 718.  The Company estimated that the stock options have a fair market value of $0.30 per stock option using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Management’s assumptions included in the model assumed volatility of 35.4%, a risk-free interest rate of 2.7% based on the 10-year Treasury Rate at the date of the grant and no dividends. The Company estimated a forfeiture rate of 5.5%. In June 2009, those directors resigned.  Each director had 26,388 vested stock options for a total of 76,194. The remaining 73,806 stock options granted were cancelled during nine-months ended December 31, 2009. The total fair market value of only the vested stock options was recorded during the period.
 

In connection with the merger transaction between Cellegy and Adamis, the stockholders approved a new 2009 Equity Incentive Plan.  Pursuant to that plan, each director of the Company who was not an employee after the effective time of the merger, including Messrs. Williams, Rothermel and Adams, and any person who thereafter becomes a non-employee director, will automatically receive an initial grant of a non-statutory option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock upon such person’s election or appointment.  Following the effectiveness of the merger between Cellegy and Adamis on April 1, 2009, pursuant to the above provisions each such person received an option to purchase 26,388 shares of common stock.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, Messrs. Williams, Rothermel and Adams resigned as directors of the Company.

In addition, subject to the Company’s ability to pay such amounts, non-employee directors are entitled to receive cash directors fees, as follows: each non-employee director is to receive an annual fee of $25,000 per year, paid quarterly; the Chair of the Audit Committee is to receive $10,000 per year; the Chair of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee is to receive $5,000 per year; and each non-employee director is to receive $1,500 for each meeting attended.

ITEM 13:  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Information responsive to this Item is disclosed in the section entitled “Board Composition” under Item 10 and the disclosures under such items are incorporated herein by reference.

During fiscal year 2010, there were no transactions or series of similar transactions to which the Company was a party in which the amount involved exceeds the lower of (i) $120,000 or (ii) one percent of the average of the Company’s total assets at the end of fiscal year 2010, and in which any current director, executive officer or holder of more than 5% of our common stock, or members of any such person’s immediate family, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than compensation described in “Executive Compensation”, except as follows: Dennis Carlo, the chief executive officer of the Company, made a series of loans to the Company for working capital in fiscal 2010. As of March 31, 2010 the outstanding principal amounts under all outstanding loans from Mr. Carlo to the Company total $309,565.  The loans to Mr. Carlo are currently due but are currently subordinated and no payments can be made on the loans until the senior secured convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1.5 million issued on January 13, 2010 have been paid in full. The terms of the loans include an interest rate of 10%.  The loans are secured by the assets of Adamis Laboratories, Inc.
 
Pursuant to the charter of the Company’s audit committee, the Company’s audit committee has the responsibility to review and approve the terms of all transactions between the Company and any related party, as that term is defined under applicable Nasdaq listing standards; however, compensation arrangements with related parties are reviewed by the the Company compensation committee or the entire the Company Board, and the Board retains the authority to review and approve other related party transactions.  In connection with consideration of related-party transactions, the audit committee or the the Company Board requires full disclosure of material facts concerning the relationship and financial interest of the relevant individuals involved in the transaction, and then determines whether the transaction is fair to the Company.  Approval is by means of a majority of the directors who are not related parties with respect to the transaction and are entitled to vote on the matter.  The Board intends that any transaction with related parties will be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

Pre-Approval Policies

Under our pre-approval policies with respect to our independent accountants, the Audit Committee, the functions of which are currently being performed by all members of the Board of Directors, pre-approves all audit and non-audit services provided by our independent accountants prior to the engagement of the independent accountants for such services.

All fees reported under the headings Audit fees and expenses, Audit-related fees and expenses, Tax fees and All other fees above for 2010 were approved by the Audit Committee before the respective services were rendered, which concluded that the provision of such services was compatible with the maintenance of the independence of the firm providing those services in the conduct of its auditing functions.  Accordingly, none of the fees reported under the headings were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to federal regulations that permit the Audit Committee to waive its pre-approval requirement under certain circumstances.
