cash and cash equivalents are believed, at this time, to be sufficient to fund its operations only
into the fourth quarter of this current fiscal year. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt as to
the Companys ability to continue as a going concern by the end of its current fiscal year.
The Companys independent registered public accounting firm expressed substantial doubt about
the Companys ability to continue as a going concern in the audit report on the Companys audited
financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 included in the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (the 2009 10-K) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 26, 2010.
The Company is currently seeking to raise funds, through public or private equity offerings or
debt financings, sufficient to finance its ongoing operations. The Company does not know whether
additional financing will be available when needed or, if available, will be on acceptable or
favorable terms to it or its stockholders. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
(2) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2009 10-K. The accompanying
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form
10-Q and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, since they are interim statements, the
accompanying financial statements do not include all of the
information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements, but reflect all
adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation
of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The December 31, 2009
balance sheet information was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.

(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Stock-Based Compensation:
At June 30, 2010, the Company had one active share-based employee compensation plan available
for grants to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. Stock option awards granted from
this plan are granted at the fair market value on the date of grant, vest over a period determined
at the time the options are granted, ranging from zero to three years, and generally have a maximum
term of ten years. Certain options provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control
(as defined in the plan) or if there is a termination of employment event for specified reasons set
forth in certain employment agreements. When options are exercised, new shares of the Companys
common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Common Stock), are issued.
The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation Stock Compensation
(ASC Topic 718) for employee stock options and other share-based compensation using the
modified prospective method. The Company reflects share-based employee compensation cost in net
loss.
The total value of the employee stock option awards is expensed ratably over the service
period of the employees receiving the awards. As of June 30, 2010, total unrecognized compensation
cost related to stock option awards, to be recognized as expense subsequent to June 30, 2010, was
approximately $303, and the related weighted-average period over which it is expected to be
recognized was approximately 1 year.
The amount of compensation expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30,
2010 and 2009 was comprised of the following:

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the six months ended June
30, 2010 and 2009 was $0.57 and $0.52, respectively, and was estimated using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model.
The following table sets forth the assumptions used with the Black-Scholes option pricing
model in determining stock-based compensation under ASC Topic 718 in 2010 and 2009:

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Common Stock. The risk-free
interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury security rate.
The expected option term represents the period that stock-based awards are expected to be
outstanding based on the simplified method provided in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB
107) which averages an awards weighted-average vesting period and expected term for plain
vanilla share options. Under SAB 107, options are considered to be plain vanilla if they have
the following basic characteristics: granted at-the-money; exercisability is conditioned upon
service through the vesting date; termination of service prior to vesting results in forfeiture;
limited exercise period following termination of service; and options are non-transferable and
non-hedgeable.
14
In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (SAB 110). SAB
110 was effective January 1, 2008 and expresses the views of the staff of the SEC with respect to
extending the use of the simplified method, as provided in SAB 107, in developing an estimate of
the expected term of plain vanilla share options in accordance with ASC Topic 718. The Company
will continue to use the simplified method until it has the historical data necessary to provide a
reasonable estimate of expected life in accordance with SAB 107, as amended by SAB 110. For the
expected option term, the Company has plain-vanilla stock options and, therefore, used a simple
average of the vesting period and the contractual term for options granted subsequent to January 1,
2006 as permitted by SAB 107.
For equity awards to non-employees, the Company also applies the Black-Scholes option pricing
model to determine the fair value of such awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718 and the
provisions of ASC Topic 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The options granted to
non-employees are re-measured as they vest and the resulting value is recognized as an adjustment
against the Companys net loss over the period during which the services are received.
(b) Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share:
Basic net loss per common share excludes the effects of potentially dilutive securities and is
computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income or loss per common share is adjusted for the
effects of convertible securities, options, warrants and other potentially dilutive financial
instruments only in the periods in which such effects would have been dilutive.
The following securities were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share
because to do so would have had an anti-dilutive effect for the periods presented:

These amounts are different from those reported in the
Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2009
because the prior number assumed that the Company would pay dividends owed to
the holders of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D Convertible
Preferred Stock on conversion of such shares with shares of Common Stock. The
current number assumes that such payment will be made with cash. |
15
(c) Derivative Instruments:
The Companys derivative liabilities are related to warrants issued in connection with
financing transactions and are therefore not designated as hedging instruments. All derivatives
are recorded on the Companys balance sheet at fair value in accordance with current accounting
guidelines for such complex financial instruments. (See Note 4 and Note 5).
(d) Financial Instruments and Fair Value:
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures, as they relate to financial assets and financial liabilities
(ASC Topic 820). ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the
inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest
priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1
measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three
levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described below:
|
|
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the
measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; |
|
|
Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for
which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and |
|
|
Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the
fair value measurement and unobservable. |
In estimating the fair value of the Companys derivative liabilities, the Company used a
probability-weighted Black-Scholes option pricing model. (See Note 4 and Note 5).
Financial assets with carrying values approximating fair value include cash and cash
equivalents. Financial liabilities with carrying values approximating fair value include accounts
payable and other accrued liabilities.
(e) Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update
(ASU) 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about
Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06). ASU 2010-06 includes new disclosure requirements
related to fair value measurements, including transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and
information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements for Level 3 fair value measurements.
This update also clarifies existing disclosure requirements relating to levels of disaggregation
and disclosures of inputs and valuation techniques. The provisions of ASU 2010-06 are effective
for periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The disclosures relating to Level 3 activity are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those
fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material impact on the Companys
financial statements.
16
(4) Derivative Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 815-40,
Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entitys Own Equity (ASC Topic 815-40). ASC Topic
815-40 clarifies the determination of whether an instrument issued by an entity (or an embedded
feature in the instrument) is indexed to an entitys own stock, which would qualify as a scope
exception.
Based upon the Companys analysis of the criteria contained in ASC Topic 815-40, all warrants
(the Warrants) issued in connection with the issuance of the Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $0.10 per share, and the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$0.10 per share must now be treated as derivative liabilities on the Companys balance sheet.
Consistent with ASC Topic 815-40 requirements, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of
the change in accounting principle to reduce the opening balance of the deficit accumulated during
the development stage for fiscal year 2009. The cumulative effect adjustment of $5,183 represents
the difference between the amounts recognized on the balance sheet before initial application of
ASC Topic 815-40 on January 1, 2009. Additionally, the initial fair value of the Warrants,
aggregating $6,252, which was initially recorded as additional paid-in capital upon issuance, was
reclassified to long-term liabilities upon the adoption of ASC Topic 815-40. The amounts
recognized at initial issuance were determined based on the estimated fair value of the Warrants
using a probability-weighted Black-Scholes option pricing model. Prospectively, the Warrants will
be re-measured at each balance sheet date based on estimated fair value, and any resultant changes
in fair value will be recorded as non-cash valuation adjustments within other income (expense) in
the Companys statement of operations.
The Company recorded other expense relating to the change in fair value of the Warrants of
$2,588 and $1,980 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company
recorded other expense of $2,232 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and other income of $809
for the three months ended June 30, 2009 relating to the change in fair value of the Warrants. The
Company recorded an adjustment in the current period as a result of an over-accrual to the fair
value of the Warrants from prior periods. The adjustment was made in the current period as the
Company deemed the amounts to be immaterial to the prior periods financial statements.
The Company estimates the fair value of the Warrants using a probability-weighted
Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used for the three and six months ended June
30, 2010 and 2009 are noted in the following table:

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Common Stock. The Warrants have
a transferability provision and based on guidance provided in SAB 107 for options issued with such
a provision, the Company used the full contractual term as the expected term of the Warrants. The
risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury security rates.

The losses on the derivative liabilities are classified in other expenses as a change in
derivative liabilities in the Companys statement of operations. Fair value is determined based on
a probability-weighted Black-Scholes option pricing model calculation. (See Note 4).
A financial instruments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of
any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. At each reporting period, the Company
performs a detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities that are subject to ASC Topic 820. At
each reporting period, all assets and liabilities for which the fair value measurement is based on
significant unobservable inputs or instruments which trade infrequently and therefore have little
or no price transparency are classified as Level 3.
(6) Commitments and Contingencies
(a) Consulting Agreements:
On April 26, 2010, the Company and Dr. Michael Kaplitt, one of the Companys scientific
co-founders and a member of its Scientific Advisory Board (the SAB), executed a letter
agreement that extended the Companys consulting agreement with Dr. Michael Kaplitt from April 30,
2010 until April 30, 2011 at the annual rate of $175. Related to this agreement, the Company
granted Dr. Michael Kaplitt non-qualified stock options to purchase 160,000 shares of Common Stock
at an exercise price of $0.65 per share on May 11, 2010. The fair value of the options will be
recognized over the period during which the services are received. The amount charged to operations
related to these options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $46.
Effective October 1, 2009, the Company extended, for a period of one year, the term of its
consulting agreement with Dr. Matthew During, one of the Companys scientific co-founders and a
member of the SAB. In connection with such extension, the Company granted Dr. Matthew During
non-qualified stock options to purchase 60,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.65
per share on May 11, 2010. The fair value of the options will be recognized over the period during
which the services are received. The amount charged to operations related to these options during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $20.
(b) Threatened Litigation:
A participant in the Phase 2 clinical trial for Parkinsons disease, through his counsel, is
claiming that he was injured during the trials surgical procedure by receiving a double dose of
the drug used in the trial on one side of his brain rather than a bilateral dose of such drug as
called for by the trials protocol. The participants counsel, by letter dated June 18, 2010,
notified certain parties involved in the trial, including the Company, of his clients assertion of
injury and
other claims regarding the conduct of the clinical trial, and requested a settlement of the
matter prior to any litigation. The participants claimed injury does not represent a serious
adverse event, as determined by the monitoring entities that make such determinations, reportable
as such to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the FDA). The Company has reviewed the
matter with its counsel and certain of the parties participating in the trial and has discussed the
matter with the participants counsel. The Company does not believe that the participants claimed
injury is related to the drug used in the trial or to the trials protocol. The Company believes
that the participants claim against the Company is without merit and, if filed, the Company
intends to vigorously defend against such claim.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements
and accompanying notes in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements
and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009 included in the 2009 10-K.
Operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may occur in future periods. All
amounts in this Item 2 are in thousands.
Business Overview
The Company is a development stage company that is engaged in the research and development of
proprietary treatments for disorders of the brain and central nervous system using gene transfer
and other innovative therapies. These treatments are designed as alternatives to conventional
surgical and pharmacological treatments.
To date, the Company has not generated any operating revenues and has incurred annual net
losses. From inception through June 30, 2010, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $59,497,
and it expects to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future. The Company recognized net
losses of $7,969 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, and $7,137 for the six months ended June
30, 2009.
Since its inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily through sales of its
equity and debt securities. From inception through June 30, 2010, the Company received proceeds
primarily from private sales of equity and debt securities and from its merger in February 2004 of
approximately $44,531 in the aggregate. The Company will continue to seek additional funds through
the sale of its securities to fund its operations. (See Liquidity and Capital Resources).
The Company has devoted a significant portion of its capital resources to the research and
development of its products. The Companys primary efforts are directed to the development of a
therapeutic product to meet the needs of patients suffering from Parkinsons disease.
In addition to its product for Parkinsons disease, the Company has undertaken efforts to
develop a product for the treatment of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) but does not
anticipate using its current funds for the further development of its TLE product at this time.
The Company also has undertaken efforts to develop a product for Huntingtons disease and is
engaged in pre-clinical activities relating to such product. See Plan of Operation Epilepsy and Plan of
Operation Huntingtons Disease below.

Plan of Operation
Parkinsons Disease
In June 2010, the Company announced positive results in its Phase 2 clinical trial of its
investigational gene therapy for advanced Parkinsons disease, NLX-P101. This trial was designed to
evaluate the safety and efficacy of NLX-P101 in patients with moderate to advanced Parkinsons
disease who were not well-controlled on available medical therapy. Approximately half of the trial
participants were randomly selected to receive an infusion of the gene-based treatment bilaterally
and the other half, the Control Participants, were randomly selected to receive a sterile saline
solution.
Trial participants who received NLX-P101 experienced statistically significant and clinically
meaningful improvements in off-medication motor scores compared to Control Participants who
received sham surgery, measured on the Unified Parkinsons Disease Rating Scale Part 3 (Motor
section). The results also demonstrated a positive safety profile for NLX-P101, with no serious
adverse events related to the gene therapy or surgical procedure reported. All treated subjects
will continue to be monitored for safety for a 12-month period following their surgical procedure.
Control Participants who continue to meet all entry, medical and surgical criteria for the trial
will be offered the opportunity to participate in the open label arm of the trial to receive a
bilateral infusion of the gene-based treatment.
A participant in the Phase 2 clinical trial for Parkinsons disease, through his counsel, is
claiming that he was injured during the trials surgical procedure by receiving a double dose of
the drug used in the trial on one side of his brain rather than a bilateral dose of such drug as
called for by the trials protocol. The participants counsel, by letter dated June 18, 2010,
notified certain parties involved in the trial, including the Company, of his clients assertion of
injury and other claims regarding the conduct of the clinical trial, and requested a settlement of
the matter prior to any litigation. The participants claimed injury does not represent a serious
adverse event, as determined by the monitoring entities that make such determinations, reportable
as such to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the FDA). The Company has reviewed the
matter with its counsel and certain of the parties participating in the trial and has discussed the
matter with the participants counsel. The Company does not believe that the participants claimed
injury is related to the drug used in the trial or to the trials protocol. The Company believes
that the participants claim against the Company is without merit and, if filed, the Company
intends to vigorously defend against such claim.
The Company is currently taking steps to move toward a pivotal trial for treatment of
Parkinsons disease and hopes to be in a position to file its protocol with the FDA in 2011. The
ability of the Company to conduct such a trial will require, among other things, the approval of
the FDA and the availability of adequate funds. Currently, the Company estimates that the pivotal
trial could be completed in 2013 and the estimated total direct costs to reach that milestone are
expected to be between $20 million and $40 million.
21
Epilepsy
In December 2006, the Company submitted an investigational new drug application to the FDA for
permission to begin a Phase 1 clinical trial of gene transfer therapy for TLE. The proposed
clinical protocol for this study was presented to the National Institute of Healths Office of
Biotechnology Activities Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee on September 23, 2004 and was reviewed
favorably.
The Company does not, at this time, intend to commit its current funds to continue work on its
gene transfer therapy for TLE. As previously stated, the Company intends to focus its efforts and
resources on its Parkinsons product.
Huntingtons Disease
In November 2005, the Company announced findings from pre-clinical studies that showed that a
form of the gene dXIAP may prevent the progression of Huntingtons disease.
The Companys development of this therapy for Huntingtons disease is currently in the
pre-clinical phase. The Company reviewed and analyzed its initial pre-clinical results and
determined that additional pre-clinical testing is required prior to seeking regulatory clearance
to commence a Phase 1 clinical trial for this therapy.
Other Therapies
The Company will also continue its efforts in developing therapies to treat other
neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders, including depression and genetically-based obesity under
its research agreements with Cornell University for and on behalf of its Joan & Sanford I. Weill
Medical College and Ohio State University.
Future Operating Expenditures
Over the next 12 months, in addition to its normal recurring expenditures, the Company expects
to spend approximately $4,600 in Phase 2 clinical trial expenses with regard to its Parkinsons
treatment; $1,200 in expenses in order to scale up its manufacturing capabilities for the supply of
product for a Parkinsons pivotal trial; $1,000 in costs associated with operating as a publicly
traded company, such as legal fees, accounting fees, insurance premiums, investor and public
relations fees; and $600 in research and licensing fees.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009
Revenues. The Company did not generate any operating revenues in the three months ended June
30, 2010 or in the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Costs and Expenses.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased by $707 during the three
months ended June 30, 2010 to $1,542 as compared to $2,249 during the comparable period in 2009.
The decrease was mainly due to a $523 decrease in expenses related to the Companys Phase 2
clinical trial for Parkinsons disease, as well as a $124 decrease in
costs related to its Huntingtons disease product, an $87 decrease in process development
expenses for large scale manufacturing of the Companys products and infusion devices. These
decreases were offset, in part, by increases in miscellaneous research and development expenses.
22
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased by $100 to $699
during the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $799 during the comparable period in
2009. This decrease was due mainly to a $77 decrease in cash and non-cash employee compensation
expense, as well as a $29 decrease in professional fees, including legal fees, investor relations
fees and public relations fees. These decreases were offset, in part, by increases in
miscellaneous general and administrative expenses.
Other (Expense) Income, Net. The Company had net other expense of $2,231 during the three
months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to net other income of $825 during the comparable period in
2009. The change is mainly due to a $3,041 increase in other expense recognized for the increase
in estimated fair value of its derivative liabilities during the three months ended June 30, 2010.
The Company recorded an adjustment in the current period as a result of an over-accrual to the fair
value of the Warrants from prior periods. The adjustment was made in the current period as the
Company deemed the amounts to be immaterial to the prior periods financial statements.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009
Revenues. The Company did not generate any operating revenues in the six months ended June
30, 2010 or in the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Costs and Expenses.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased by $259 during the six
months ended June 30, 2010 to $3,399 as compared to $3,658 during the comparable period in 2009.
The decrease was due, in part, to a $156 decrease in pre-clinical costs associated with the
Companys Huntingtons disease product, as well as a $153 decrease in fees related to license
agreements and sponsored research agreements, and a $98 decrease in process development expenses
for large scale manufacturing of the Companys products and infusion devices. These decreases were
offset principally by a $147 increase in expenses related to the Companys Phase 2 clinical trial
for Parkinsons disease.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by $435 to $1,983
during the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $1,548 during the comparable period in
2009. This increase was primarily due to an increase in employee compensation expense mainly
related to a $98 charge for the accelerated vesting of and the extension of the exercise period for
John Mordocks stock options in connection with his resignation and a $291 charge for severance
paid to Mr. Mordock in connection with his resignation. The increase was also due to a $60
increase in professional fees, including legal fees, accounting fees, investor and public relations
fees. These increases were offset, in part, by decreases in miscellaneous general and
administrative expenses.
23
Other (Expense) Income, Net. The Company had net other expense of $2,587 during the six
months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to net other expense of $1,931 during the comparable period
in 2009. The change is mainly due to a $608 increase in other expense recognized
for the increase in estimated fair value of its derivative liabilities during the six months
ended June 30, 2010. The Company recorded an adjustment in the current period as a result of an
over-accrual to the fair value of the Warrants from prior periods. The adjustment was made in the
current period as the Company deemed the amounts to be immaterial to the prior periods financial
statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $4,512 at June 30, 2010.
The Company is a development stage company and has not generated any operating revenues as of
June 30, 2010. In addition, the Company will continue to incur net losses and cash flow
deficiencies from operating activities for the foreseeable future.
Based on its cash flow projections, the Company will need additional financing to carry out
its planned business activities and complete its plan of operations through December 31, 2010. At
the Companys present level of activities, the Companys cash and cash equivalents are believed, at
this time, to be sufficient to fund its operations only into the fourth quarter of this current
fiscal year. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt as to the Companys ability to continue as a
going concern by the end of its current fiscal year.
In June 2010, the Company announced positive results in its Phase 2 clinical trial of its
investigational gene therapy for advanced Parkinsons disease, NLX-P101. Given these results, the
Company is seeking to raise additional funds to develop further its Parkinsons product as well as
to develop its other technologies for the treatment of certain neurological and psychiatric
diseases. In this regard, the Company may seek to raise funds through corporate collaborations or
licensing arrangements for its Parkinsons product or other technologies. In addition, the Company
is pursuing other strategic transactions which are intended to maximize value for the Company and
its stockholders. The Company does not know whether additional financing will be available when
needed or, if available, will be on acceptable or favorable terms to it or its stockholders or
whether a strategic transaction can be consummated in furtherance of its objectives.
The Companys independent registered public accounting firm expressed substantial doubt about
the Companys ability to continue as a going concern in the audit report on the Companys audited
financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 included in the 2009 10-K.
Net cash used in operating activities was $4,997 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to $4,013 during the comparable period in 2009. The $984 increase in net cash used in
operations was primarily due to a $832 increase in net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2010,
as well as a $782 increase in cash used as a result of changes to working capital in the first six
months of 2010, offset by a $630 increase in non-cash expenses in the first six months of 2010.
The Company had net cash used in investing activities of $128 during the six months ended June
30, 2010 as compared to $157 during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Cash used in investing
activities relates to additions to intangible assets and purchases of equipment made by the Company
during the first six months of each of 2010 and 2009.
The Company had no net cash used in or provided by financing activities during the six months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
