·
|
Clinical trial expenses increased
by $750,511, to $751,242 from $731, due to our clinical trial activity
initiated during the first fiscal quarter of
2010.
|
|
·
|
Wages, including stock-based
compensation approximately $64,000, or 28% to $291,649 from $227,456,
primarily as a result of increased salaries (including an executive bonus)
and increased stock-based compensation resulting from the 2009 stock
option plan.
|
|
·
|
Legal expenses increased
approximately $16,000, which was more than offset by consulting costs
which decreased by about
$27,000.
|
|
·
|
Salaries and employee benefits
increased by approximately $170,000, or 90% to $357,785 from $188,094 a
year ago, due to higher salaries and health insurance
premiums.
|
|
·
|
Stock-based
compensation increased by $40,629, to $50,028 from $9,399 a year ago, due
to the issuance of new options under the 2009 stock option
plan.
|
|
·
|
Legal
and accounting fees increased by $125,226, to $180,675 from $55,449,
primarily as a result of increased legal fees of $83,634
and increased accounting fees of $41,492, which were more than offset
by a decrease in offering expenses of $47,393 due to the application of
financing costs to additional paid-in
capital.
|
|
·
|
Clinical trial expenses increased
by $1,482,907, to $1,484,676 from $1,769, primarily due to our clinical
trial activity initiated during the first fiscal quarter of
2010.
|
|
·
|
Salaries, including stock-based
compensation, increased by approximately $70,000, primarily as a result of
increased stock-based compensation expense and salaries. Additionally, in
the six months ended April 30, 2009, a bonus accrual was reversed,
lowering expenses by approximately $122,000 in that
period.
|
|
·
|
Consulting expenses decreased by
$49,960, or 92%, to $4,500 from $54,460, due to a decline in the number of
consultants utilized by Advaxis and no stock-based compensation compared
to a year ago.
|
|
·
|
Salaries
and related expenses increased by approximately $144,000, or 35% to
$556,123 from $411,653 due to wages and benefits increasing by
approximately $119,000 from higher salaries and increased health insurance
premiums partially offset by lower 401K expenses of approximately $9,000.
Additionally, in the six months ended April 30, 2009, a bonus accrual was
reversed, lowering expenses by approximately $36,000 in that
period.
|
|
·
|
Stock-based compensation
increased $112,181, to $157,873 from $45,692 a year ago, due to the
issuance of new options under the 2009 stock option
plan.
|
|
·
|
Legal and accounting fees
increased by approximately $190,000, primarily as a result of higher legal
fees of approximately $148,000 and higher accounting fees of approximately
$43,000 due to increased utilization of temporary professionals and
outside auditor fees in the Fiscal 2010, which were more than offset by a
decrease in offering expenses of approximately $142,000 due to the
application of financing costs to additional paid-in
capital.
|
|
·
|
Patent expenses decreased
approximately $77,000 due to lower amounts paid to University of
Pennsylvania under our licensing agreement, offset by higher regulatory
costs of approximately
$10,000.

|
It requires assumptions to be

1)
|
Attachment
1- List of Intellectual Property is deleted in its entirety and replaced
with Exhibit 1 to this Second Amendment, which includes the Additional
Penn Dockets.
|
2)
|
On
the Effective Date of this Second Amendment Company shall pay to Penn,
solely at Penn’s option, i) a non-refundable, non-assessable option
exercise fee of $10,000 per Additional Docket ($70,000 total) in cash or
ii) $140,000 in stock, or iii) a mix of cash and stock of which the stock
component will be no less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
total. The number of shares of stock to be issue to Penn will
be calculated as follows: the percentage of the option exercise fee to be
paid in stock multiplied by $140,000. The product of that calculation is
then divided by the price per share of the most recently completed
financing round to determine the number of shares of stock to be issued to
Penn. Penn will be entitled to receive the same class of shares as the
most recent round of financing. The issuance to Penn will entitle Penn to
the same rights, preferences, warrant and/or option coverage, conversion
privileges, etc. as granted to the participants in the most recent round
of financing.
|
3)
|
Company
agrees to reimburse Penn for all outstanding expenses, associated with the
Agreement and the First Amendment and the Sponsored Research Agreement
(“SRA”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, as
follows:
|
a)
|
Sixty-five
thousand dollars ($65,000) on or before the first day of each month
beginning May 1, 2010 and ending on September 1, 2010, inclusive. And
fifty-four thousand seventy-nine dollars ($54,079) on or before September
30, 2010.
|
4)
|
Company
agrees to pay all historical patent expenses associated with this Second
Amendment that adds Additional Dockets. These expenses include, but are
not limited to, all historically accrued patent and licensing expenses,
attorney’s fees, official fees and all other charges incident to the
preparation, prosecution and maintenance of the Penn Patent Rights that
were incurred and docketed by Penn relating to the Additional Penn Dockets
on or before the Effective Date of this Second
Amendment. Company shall pay such expenses to Penn, in cash, in
the following amounts:
|
|
a)
|
at
least twenty percent (20%) of any amount of funding raised on or after
April 1, 2010 (whether or not the funding has been drawn), regardless of
the form. Such payments will be paid to Penn within ten (10) days after
the completion of each tranche of funding regardless of the form of the
funding or the type of security and regardless of whether Company has
drawn down funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company is not precluded
from paying a higher percentage of funding raised towards these
obligations or paying the obligations in full at any
time.
|
5)
|
This
section reaffirms Company’s obligations to reimburse Penn for all
documented attorneys fees, expenses, official fees and other charges
incident to the preparation, prosecution, maintenance and licensing of
Penn Patent Rights pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, as
amended.
|
6)
|
Except
as specifically modified or amended hereby, the Agreement, as amended by
the First Amendment, shall remain in full force and
effect.
|
7)
|
No
provision of this Amendment may be modified or amended except expressly in
a writing signed by all parties nor shall any term be waived except
expressly in a writing signed by the party charged
therewith.
|
8)
|
This
Second Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original but all of which taken constitute one
and the same instrument.

All significant deficiencies and
