In August 2007, the Company leased a building near Baltimore, Maryland. The

building, which consists of approximately 73,000 square feet, was remodeled in

accordance with the Company specifications so that it can be used by the Company

to manufacture Multikine for the Company's Phase III clinical trial and sales of

the drug if approved by the FDA. The lease is for a term of twenty years and

requires annual base rent payments of $1,575,000 during the first year of the

lease. The annual base rent escalates each year at 3%. The Company is also

required to pay all real and personal property taxes, insurance premiums,

maintenance expenses, repair costs and utilities. The lease allows the Company,

at its election, to extend the lease for two ten-year periods or to purchase the

building at the end of the 20-year lease. The lease required the Company to pay

$3,150,000 towards the remodeling costs, which will be recouped by reductions in

the annual base rent of $303,228 in years six through twenty of the lease. In

January 2008, the Company signed a second amendment to the lease. In accordance

with the lease, on February 8, 2008, the Company paid an additional $1,295,528

toward the remodeling costs and a further $518,790 for lab equipment. In

addition, in April 2008, an additional $288,474 was paid for the completion of

the facility. The Company took possession of the manufacturing facility in

October, 2008. The Company paid an additional $32,059 in expenses to complete

the manufacturing facility during the three months ended December 31, 2009.



In December 2008, the Company was not in compliance with certain lease

requirements (i.e., failure to pay an installment of Base Annual Rent). However,

the landlord did not declare the Company formally in default under the terms of

the lease and renegotiated the lease. In January 2009, as part of an amended

lease agreement on the manufacturing facility, the Company repriced the

3,000,000 warrants issued to the landlord in July 2007 at $1.25 per share and

which were to expire on July 12, 2013. These warrants are now repriced at $0.75

per share and expire on January 26, 2014. The cost of this repricing and

extension of the warrants is $70,515 and was accounted for as a debit to the

deferred rent asset and a credit to additional paid-in capital. In addition,

787,500 additional warrants were given to the landlord on the same date. The

warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.75 per share and will expire on

January 26, 2014. The cost of these warrants was $45,207 and was accounted for

as a debit to the deferred rent asset and a credit to additional paid-in

capital. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company issued the

landlord an additional 2,296,875 warrants in accordance with an amendment to the

agreement. These warrants were valued at $251,172 using the Black Scholes

method. The Company is in compliance with the lease and expects to receive a

refund of the $1,575,000 deposited with the landlord in July 2008 before the end

of the current fiscal year.



The interest expense of $38,120 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was

interest expense on the loan from the Company's president of $41,402, offset by

the amortization of the remaining premium on the loan of ($3,282). The interest

expense of $84,616 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was composed of

three elements: 1) amortization of the Series K discount ($43,649), 2) interest

paid and accrued on the Series K debt ($40,154) and 3) margin interest ($813).
