JANUS RESOURCES, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization, Nature and Continuance of Operations
Janus Resources, Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), is in the business of developing and, if warranted, commercializing organ regeneration technologies. The Company was previously involved in the exploration and development of both mineral exploration properties and oil and gas properties. The Company sold its oil and gas properties on February 18 and 19, 2013. Effective February 20, 2013, the Company became a development stage company.
On July 29, 2013, the Company’s Board approved the disposition of its Fostung tungsten mineral properties located in Canada (the “Fostung Property”). Management is evaluating alternatives for the disposition of these mineral exploration assets. The properties have not yet been disposed of by sale and therefore are classified as assets held and used during the periods presented.
On July 12, 2013, the Company, together with its wholly owned subsidiary, Janus Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation (“JAC”), entered into an asset purchase agreement with Dr. Jörg Gerlach, MD, PhD, pursuant to which JAC purchased all of Dr. Gerlach’s rights, title and interest to an organ regeneration technology (collectively, the “Regeneration Technology”). The Company plans to further the development of the Regeneration Technology and, if commercially viable, bring the product to market for use in a variety of applications.
The Company has recently incurred net operating losses and operating cash flow deficits. The Company’s total accumulated deficit is $4.8 million as of September 30, 2013. The Company does not currently generate revenues and will continue to incur losses from operations and operating cash flow deficits in the future. Management believes that the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances, anticipated cash flows from operations and other external sources of capital will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for the next six months. The future of the Company after March 2014 will depend in large part on its ability to successfully raise capital from external sources to fund operations.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Accounting
As the Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts to establishing a new business, and while planned principal operations have commenced, there has been no revenue generated from sales, license fees or royalties, and as such, the Company is considered a development stage company. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance related to a development stage enterprise.
The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Part 210 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures included are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
8
In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which are necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows on a basis consistent with that of our prior audited consolidated financial statements. The Company has evaluated information about subsequent events that became available to us through the date the financial statements were issued. This information relates to events, transactions or changes in circumstances that would require us to adjust the amounts reported in the financial statements or to disclose information about those events, transactions or changes in circumstances. However, the results of operations for interim periods may not be indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements including the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012, which may be found under the Company’s profile on EDGAR.
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set out in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 and have been consistently followed in the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, JAC and Fostung Resources, Limited (“Fostung”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. JAC was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 12, 2013. Fostung was incorporated on May 10, 2011, in Ontario Canada.
Applicable Accounting Guidance
Any reference in these notes to applicable accounting guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative non-governmental US GAAP as found in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results, as determined by future events, may differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Research and Development Costs
The Company intends to outsource its research and development efforts and expense related costs as incurred, including the cost of manufacturing product for testing, licensing fees and costs associated with planning and conducting clinical trials. The value ascribed to patents and other intellectual property acquired will be capitalized as it relates to particular research and development projects that may have alternative future uses.
9
Stock Options
The Company measures all stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method on the date of grant and recognizes such expense in its consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant. The Black-Scholes pricing model requires management to make assumptions regarding option lives, expected volatility, and risk free interest rates.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes income taxes on an accrual basis based on tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in our tax returns. A tax position is defined as a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in future tax filing that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Tax positions are recognized only when it is more likely than not (i.e., likelihood of greater than 50%), based on technical merits, that the position would be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold are measured using a probability-weighted approach as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if all, or some portion, of such assets will more than likely not be realized. No provision for income taxes was recorded during the periods presented because the Company had a net taxable loss. Should they occur, our policy is to classify interest and penalties related to tax positions as interest expense. Since our inception, no such interest or penalties have been incurred.
Discontinued Operations
The assets and financial results of the Company’s oil and gas properties are being reported as discontinued operations as a result of the sale thereof in February 2013. Certain amounts reported in the prior periods presented have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income (loss). See “Note 3. Discontinued Oil and Gas Operations” for a summary of the amounts reclassified for the periods presented herein.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented. Diluted EPS amounts are based upon the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period presented. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock consisted of warrants to purchase shares of common stock (1,200,000 shares for 2013 and nil shares for 2012) and options to purchase shares of common stock (40,000 shares for 2013 and nil shares for 2012). During the periods presented, potentially dilutive shares of common stock were not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share as to do so would be anti-dilutive.
Foreign Currency Translation
Transactions and account balances originally stated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar have been translated into U.S. dollars as follows:
·
|
Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period in which they are incurred.
|
·
|
Non-monetary assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect on the dates the assets were acquired or the liabilities were incurred.
|
·
|
Monetary assets and liabilities at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.
|
Exchange gains and losses are recorded in operations in the period in which they occur, except for exchange gains and losses related to translation of monetary assets and liabilities associated with mineral properties, which are deferred and included in reported value of the mineral properties.
10
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments for the periods presented.
Related Party Transactions
A related party is generally defined as (i) any person who holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families; (ii) the Company’s management; (iii) someone who directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company; or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. See “Note 8. Related Party Transactions,” for further discussion.
3. Discontinued Oil and Gas Operations
On February 18, 2013, we completed the sale of our working interest in the Onnie Ray #1, Haile #1, Pearce #1 and Stahl #1 oil wells. We entered into an Assignment Agreement with Leexus Oil LLC, the wells operator, whereby the Company assigned its right, title and interest in the oil, gas and mineral leases and the oil and gas wells. Consideration for the assignment was the assumption of all outstanding liabilities and assumption of all future payments for any and all work performed on the wells.
On February 19, 2013, we completed the sale of our working interest in the Cooke #6 well. We entered into an Assignment Agreement with Millennium Petro-Physics, the well operator, whereby we assigned the right, title and interest in the oil, gas and mineral leases and the oil and gas wells. Consideration for the assignment was $3,000 cash.
The carrying amount of the oil and gas properties was $24,127 on the date of disposal. The related asset retirement obligation amounted to $57,532 and liabilities assumed amounted to $12,932. Including the $3,000 cash received, the Company recognized a gain of $49,338 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, as a result of the disposal.
The Company’s revenue, reported in discontinued operations, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $0 and $0, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $7,034 and $16,549, respectively. The Company’s net income (loss) reported in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $0 and $49,338, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $(424) and $(389), respectively. The Company has not recognized any revenue nor incurred expenses with respect to its previously owned oil and gas properties since the sale of its oil and gas properties, and will not recognize any continuing cash flows with respect to these properties in the future.
Assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the accompanying balance sheets consist of the following:

On June 8, 2011, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, the Company paid CAD $500,000 in cash for the acquisition of EMC Metals Corp.’s 100% leasehold interest in two mining leases known as the Fostung Property. The Fostung Property consists of two contiguous claim blocks of 30 claims totaling 485 hectors. The nine claims covered by Mining Lease 108592 expire on October 31, 2031. The twenty-one claims covered by Mining Lease 108847 have been extended by the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines and Forestry (“MNDMF”) through March 31, 2032. The Fostung Property is located in Foster Township, Sudbury Mining Division, Ontario, Canada. It is approximately 8 kilometers southeast of the town of Espanola and 70 kilometers west-southwest of the town of Sudbury. An excellent all-weather gravel road extends from Espanola, crossing the property and providing access to the west bay of Lake Panache.
A production bonus in the amount of CAD $500,000 is payable to Breakwater Resources Ltd. by the Company within thirty business days following the commencement of commercial production from the property. A 1% net smelter return royalty on the property is also payable to Breakwater Resources Ltd. by the Company. No capitalized costs have been amortized as of September 30, 2013. The Company did not incur any impairment of these capitalized costs through September 30, 2013.

The Fostung Property also consists of four unpatented mining claims, located in Foster Township in the Sudbury Mining Division, Ontario, Canada, comprised of 26 claim units which were recorded in the name of Fostung Resources Ltd. on June 7, 2011. Two of the four mining claim blocks consisting of two contiguous claims are located to the north east of the structural trend in the two contiguous claim blocks of 30 claims referred to in (a) above. Two of the four mining claim blocks consisting of two contiguous claims are located to the south west of the structural trend in the two contiguous claim blocks of 30 claims referred to in (a) above. Leases related to each of the four claims expired on June 7, 2013. On July 18, 2013, we filed an application for relief from forfeiture with the MNDMF to renew the leases. No response has been received as of the date of this report. The aggregate amount required to be expended in order to renew the four claims is CAD $10,400.
On July 29, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the disposition of the Fostung Property. Management is evaluating alternatives for the disposition of these mineral exploration assets.

5. Intangible Assets – Intellectual Property
On July 12, 2013, the Company, together with its wholly owned subsidiary, JAC, entered into an asset purchase agreement with Dr. Jörg Gerlach, MD, PhD, pursuant to which JAC purchased all of Dr. Gerlach’s rights, title and interest in the Regeneration Technology. The Company plans to further the development of the Regeneration Technology and, if commercially viable, bring the product to market. Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, upon the closing of the transaction, the Company paid Dr. Gerlach $100,002 and issued to Dr. Gerlach a Series A Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Series A Warrant”) entitling him to purchase 1,200,000 shares (each a “Warrant Share”) of the Company’s common stock, subject to vesting milestones through July 11, 2019, at an exercise price of $0.35 per share. Acquisition related costs amounted to $52,852 and were capitalized together with the cash payment.
The Series A Warrant was issued in exchange for services to be rendered in the future by Dr. Gerlach. An additional agreed upon cash sum will be paid to Dr. Gerlach upon the Company attaining certain milestones related to the Regeneration Technology. The value of the Series A Warrant will be recognized as consulting expenses by the Company over the vesting term of the underlying warrant, subject to Dr. Gerlach providing ongoing consulting services to the Company with respect to the Regeneration Technology. As such, the measurement date for accounting purposes will be the date on which performance by Dr. Gerlach is completed. The fair value of each Warrant Share is estimated at the end of each fiscal quarter during which Dr. Gerlach renders services using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of each Warrant Share was approximately $0.47 as of September 30, 2013. Assumptions regarding volatility, expected term, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate are required for the Black-Scholes model and are as follows:

6. Common Stock Options
Approval of the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan
On June 20, 2013, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted, subject to receiving shareholder approval, the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of stock options of up to 20,000,000 shares (subject to adjustment) of the Company’s common stock to officers, directors, key employees and consultants of the Company. Options granted to employees under the Incentive Plan, including directors and officers who are employees, may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options; options granted to others under the Incentive Plan are limited to non-qualified stock options.
The Incentive Plan is administered by the Board or a committee designated by the Board. Subject to the provisions of the Incentive Plan, the Board has the authority to determine the officers, employees and consultants to whom options will be granted, the number of shares covered by each option, vesting rights and the terms and conditions of each option that is granted to them; however, no person may be granted in any of the Company’s fiscal year, options to purchase more than 2,000,000 shares under the Incentive Plan, and the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the option is granted) of the shares with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. Options granted pursuant to the Incentive Plan are exercisable no later than ten years after the date of grant.
The exercise price per share of common stock for options granted under the Incentive Plan will be the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the last trading day prior to the date of grant, except for incentive stock options granted to a holder of ten percent or more of the Company’s common stock, for whom the exercise price per share will not be less than 110% of the fair market value. No option can be granted under the Incentive Plan after June 20, 2023.
As of September 30, 2013, there were 19,960,000 shares available for grant.

The fair value of each stock option is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The estimated weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $0.41 per share. Assumptions regarding volatility, expected term, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate are required for the Black-Scholes model. The volatility assumption is based on the Company’s historical experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on a U.S. treasury note with a maturity similar to the option award’s expected life. The expected life represents the average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The assumptions for volatility, expected life, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate are presented in the table below:

Overview
Company Overview
We are in the business of developing and, if warranted, commercializing organ regeneration technologies. We were previously involved in the exploration and development of both mineral exploration properties and oil and gas properties. On July 12, 2013, we, together with our wholly owned subsidiary, JAC, entered into an asset purchase agreement with Dr. Jörg Gerlach, MD, PhD, pursuant to which JAC purchased all of Dr. Gerlach’s rights, title and interest to the Regeneration Technology. We plan to further the development of the Regeneration Technology and, if commercially viable, bring the product to market. Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, upon the closing of the transaction, as further described in the Asset Purchase Agreement, we paid Dr. Gerlach an agreed upon initial sum and issued to Dr. Gerlach a Series A Stock Purchase Warrant entitling him to purchase shares of our common stock, subject to vesting milestones through July 11, 2019, at an agreed upon exercise price. An additional agreed upon sum will be paid to Dr. Gerlach upon our attaining certain milestones related to the Regeneration Technology. Pursuant to SEC Rule 24b-2, we submitted a request to the SEC for confidential treatment of certain portions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, which is still under review. Accordingly, certain terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement have not been disclosed. The disclosure of such confidential information may potentially harm our competitive position and jeopardize our ability to effectively negotiate future development and sublicensing agreements on preferential terms; and, ongoing relationship with Dr. Gerlach and our ability to negotiate favorable terms in regards to the ongoing development of our technologies.

Mineral Properties
On July 29, 2013, our Board approved the disposition of our mineral properties located in Canada.
Foster Township, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada – Fostung Tungsten Property

On June 8, 2011, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, we paid CAD $500,000 in cash for the acquisition of EMC Metals Corp’s. 100% leasehold interest in two mining leases known as the Fostung Property. The Fostung Property consists of two contiguous claim blocks of 30 claims totaling 485 hectors. The nine claims covered by Mining Lease 108592 expire on October 31, 2031. The twenty-one claims covered by Mining Lease 108847 have been extended by the MNDMF through March 31, 2032. The Fostung Property is located in Foster Township, Sudbury Mining Division, Ontario, Canada. It is approximately 8 kilometers southeast of the town of Espanola and 70 kilometers west-southwest of the town of Sudbury. An excellent all-weather gravel road extends from Espanola, crossing the property and providing access to the west bay of Lake Panache.
A production bonus in the amount of CAD $500,000 is payable to Breakwater Resources Ltd. by us within thirty business days following the commencement of commercial production from the property. A 1% Net Smelter Return royalty on the property is also payable to Breakwater Resources Ltd. by us. No capitalized costs have been amortized as of September 30, 2013.

Results of Operations
We anticipate that our results of operations will fluctuate for the foreseeable future due to several factors, such as the progress of our research and development efforts and the timing and outcome of regulatory submissions. Due to these uncertainties, accurate predictions of future operations are difficult or impossible to make.
Continuing Operations
Our expenses consist primarily of professional fees and administrative costs. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, general and administrative expenses were $329,103 and $188,054. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, general and administrative expenses were $184,862 and $38,112.
As a result of the foregoing, net income (loss) from continuing operations for three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $(184,862) and $(329,103), respectively, compared to a net loss of $(38,112) and $(199,338) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Discontinued Operations
Net income (loss) from oil and gas activities was $49,338 and $(389) for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the former representing the gain on disposal of the oil and gas properties in February 2013.
Net income (loss) from discontinued operations for three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $0 and $49,338, respectively, compared to a net loss of $(424) and $(389) for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We currently finance our activities primarily by the private placement of securities. There is no assurance that equity funding will be accessible to us at the times and in the amounts required to fund our activities. There are many conditions beyond our control which have a direct bearing on the level of investor interest in the purchase of Company securities. We may also attempt to generate additional working capital through the operation, development, sale or possible joint venture development of our properties; however, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. Failure to obtain such additional financing may result in a reduction of our interest in certain properties or an actual foreclosure of our interest. Debt financing has not been used to fund our property acquisitions and exploration activities, and we have no current plans to use debt financing. We do not have “standby” credit facilities, or off-balance sheet arrangements and it does not use hedges or other financial derivatives. We have no agreements or understandings with any person as to additional financing.
We began 2013 with cash and cash equivalents of $513,595. At September 30, 2013, we had cash of $236,099. Total liabilities as of September 30, 2013 were $157,923 (December 31, 2012: $98,075).
18
Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support of our shareholders, our ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, confirmation of our interest in the underlying properties, the attainment of profitable operations and/or realizing proceeds from the sale of one or more of the properties. As discussed in Note 1. Organization, Nature and Continuance of Operations to the consolidated financial statements, we have incurred recurring operating losses since inception and used cash of $174,642 from operating activities in 2013. As at September 30, 2013, we have a total accumulated deficit of $4.8 million and working capital of $79,680, which management believes is sufficient to fund operations through at least the next six months, however we intend to raise additional capital (presumably through equity offerings and/or debt borrowing) as the opportunity presents itself.
We expect to incur losses from operations for the near future. We expect to incur increasing research and development expenses. We expect our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we expand our business development, add infrastructure and incur additional costs related to being a public company.
Cash Flow
Operating activities: We used cash of $174,642 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 (2012: $206,007). The following is a breakdown of the cash and non-cash items used for operating activities, aside from the net losses in each period: Impairment and depreciation of $0 (2012: $1,527); accretion of asset retirement obligation of $0 (2012: $2,216); a non cash gain on the disposal of assets of $49,338 (2012: $0); changes in accounts receivable resulted in an increase in cash of $800 (2012: increase in cash of $14,514); changes in prepaid expenses resulted in an increase in cash of $6,058 (2012: decrease in cash of $9,220); changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses (including related party) resulted in an increase in cash of $83,313 (2012: decrease in cash of $15,317) respectively.
Investing Activities: During the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 the Company invested cash of $105,854 in the purchase of intellectual property and received cash of $3,000 from the disposal of oil and gas properties. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 the Company invested cash of $2,754 in the purchase of oil and gas properties.
Financing Activities: There were no financing activities during 2013 and 2012.
Dividends
We have neither declared nor paid any dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain our earnings to finance growth and expand our operations and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
Market Risk Disclosures
We have not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and the subsequent period to November 14, 2013.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or contractual obligations at September 30, 2013, and the subsequent period to November 14, 2013, that are likely to have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that have not been disclosed in our consolidated financial statements.
19
Environmental Compliance
Our previous exploration and development activities are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations in the countries in which we conduct our activities. These laws and regulations govern the protection of the environment, prospecting, development, production, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances and other matters. We believe that we have been able to comply with those laws and do not believe that compliance will has had a material adverse effect on our competitive position. We have an obligation to reclaim our properties after the surface has been disturbed by exploration methods at the site.
Critical Accounting Policies
See “Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” included herein.
Related Party Transactions
Our proposed business may raise potential conflicts of interests between certain of our officers and directors and us. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In appropriate cases, we will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict. From time to time, several companies may participate in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties thereby allowing for their participation in larger programs, involvement in a greater number of programs and reduction of the financial exposure with respect to any one program. It may also occur that a particular company will assign all or a portion of our interest in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment.
In determining whether we will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider the potential benefits to us, the degree of risk to which we may be exposed and our financial position at that time. Other than as indicated, we have no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest. We are not aware of the existence of any conflict of interest as described herein.
Effective as of June 27, 2012, Ms. Janet Bien was appointed as our Chief Financial Officer.
On June 20, 2013, Mr. Joseph Sierchio, resigned as our Acting Interim President and Chief Executive Officer and remains a director; Ms. Rhonda B. Rosen was appointed to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer.
At a Board meeting held on July 29, 2013, the Board resolved that effective as of August 1, 2013, all non-employee directors will receive an annual retainer of $6,000, payable in equal quarterly installments in arrears and prorated for any partial quarters. Additionally, subject to their entry into a non-statutory stock option agreement, all non- employee directors receive options to purchase up to 20,000 shares of our common stock, which, subject to their continued service to the Board, vest in equal installments on the date of the grant and the first anniversary of the date of the grant.
Effective as of August 1, 2013, Dr. Kenneth Kirkland was appointed to serve as a member of the Board. As per above, both Dr. Kirkland and Joseph Sierchio were granted incentive stock options to purchase up to 20,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.65 per share, the closing price of our common stock as quoted on the OTCQB tier on July 31, 2013, pursuant to the Incentive Plan.

Effective September 30, 2013, Ms. Rosen resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer and entered into the Rosen Services Agreement, pursuant to which Ms. Rosen serves as our Chief Financial Officer.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act).
