Item 1. | Business. |
Overview / Corporate History
CytoDyn Inc. is a Colorado corporation, with its principal business office at 1511 Third Street, Santa Fe, New Mexico, 87505; telephone: (505) 988-5520, facsimile: (800) 417-7252, and website address: www.cytodyn.com. We are a development stage biotechnology company (concept company) focused on discovering and developing a class of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies to treat Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection.
In October 2003, the Company (under its previous name RexRay Corporation) entered into an Acquisition Agreement with CytoDyn of New Mexico, Inc. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, we acquired assets related to our leading drug candidate, Cytolin, including the assignment of the patent license agreement dated July 1, 1994 between CytoDyn of New Mexico, Inc. and Allen D. Allen covering three United States patents along with foreign counterpart patents which describe a method for treating HIV disease with the use of monoclonal antibodies. This includes issued U.S. Patent Nos. 5,424,066; 5,651,970 and 6,534,057, as well as European Patent Nos. 0690725 and 1438970. In addition, Hong Kong Patent No. 1067958, Australian Patent No. 684074 and Canadian Patent No. 2156495 have been obtained as well. We also acquired the federally registered trademarks, CYTODYN (U.S. Registration No. 2095498) and CYTOLIN (U.S. Registration No. 2095497), and a related trademark symbol. The license acquired gives the Company the worldwide, exclusive right to develop, market and sell compounds disclosed by the patent claims, practice methods taught by the patent claims, and exploit specified technology related to the patents. The term of the license agreement is for the life of the patents of which the first will expire in 2013. The original expiration dates on the issued U.S. Patent Nos. 5,424,066; 5,651,970 and 6,534,057 are 2013, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Our Cytolin-related patents are for a murine (mouse) version of the drug. However, as discussed below in Manufacturing and Source for Raw Materials, the Company has contracted to develop a humanized version, which we believe is necessary for any future clinical trials. All of our research on Cytolin to date has utilized the current murine (mouse) version of the drug.
Research History of Cytolin(R) Compound
Allen D. Allen, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, has been researching treatments for HIV and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) since 1987. He received the three United States patents along with foreign counterpart patents described above, now licensed to the Company, which cover the use of certain antibodies for treating patients with HIV. Our leading drug candidate, Cytolin, is part of a class of drugs called monoclonal antibodies or targeted therapies, which target specific antigens on a cell or pathogen. Cytolin is based on a monoclonal antibody that binds to the cellular adhesion molecule LFA-1.
1
In 1993, six HIV-infected patients were treated with Cytolin. Blood and skin tests of these patients suggested that the antibody might be producing improvements in the immune function of each patient. Based on the results of this pilot study, a compassionate use trial was initiated. In this study a relatively small number of physicians in the United States administered Cytolin to their HIV-infected patients over two years. As results from this initial use became available, other physicians obtained and administered Cytolin to their patients as well. Four of the doctors using Cytolin allowed CytoDyns predecessor to send in an independent Institutional Review Board to inspect the medical records of approximately 200 patients treated with Cytolin once or twice a month over 18 months. Data were recorded and summarized and formed part of the material presented to the FDA as an early indication of the safety and potential efficacy of Cytolin.
In 1996, the FDA approved a drug master file, designated BB-DMF#6836, for the manufacture of Cytolin at Vista Biologicals Corporation. CytoDyn of New Mexico, Inc. (a predecessor to the Company) and Vista Biologicals Corporation worked cooperatively to develop the drug master file. In accordance with the practice of the FDA, the drug master file was issued to and became the property of the entity with the capacity to manufacture the drug, in this case Vista Biologicals Corporation. By contract with Vista Biologicals Corporation, CytoDyn of New Mexico, Inc. had the exclusive right to reference the drug master file, that is, to authorize Vista Biologicals Corporation to manufacture Cytolin in accordance with the terms of the drug master file.
In 1996, the FDA also designated our investigational new drug application for Cytolin as BB-IND #6845, and subsequently approved a clinical trial. In 2002, Symbion Research International, a contract research organization, completed a Phase I a/b clinical trial of Cytolin (a Phase I trial includes the initial introduction of an investigational new drug or biologic into humans). The trial was sponsored by Amerimmune, Inc., the previous licensee of CytoDyn of New Mexico, Inc. but Symbion was never paid for its work. As a result, its work product became Symbions. We entered into a buy-sell agreement with Symbion to purchase the Phase Ia study data in 2004. The Phase Ia study, conducted in 13 subjects suffering from HIV/AIDS, found Cytolin to be safe and well tolerated. The initial safety study supported the safety and tolerability of the drug in these dose groups. Some of the data were presented as an abstract and poster session, entitled Phase I Study of Anti-LFA-1 Monoclonal Antibody (Cytolin in Adults with HIV Infection) at the 9th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections held in Seattle, Washington on February 24-28 2002 as well as the 16th International AIDS Conference held August 2006 in Toronto, Canada. The Company then went through a period of years where legal issues delayed the progress of this treatment.
Cytolin - Current Research
Under a Clinical Trial Agreement dated September 28, 2009 (the Clinical Trial Agreement), in exchange for a research grant by CytoDyn, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston, Massachusetts agreed to conduct an ex-vivo study of Cytolin in accordance with a study protocol entitled An observational study to determine the in-vitro immunologic and virology activity of Cytolin (the Study). In addition to providing financial support for the Study, CytoDyn agreed to provide MGH with supplies of Cytolin needed for the Study. Under the Clinical Trial Agreement, Eric S. Rosenberg, M.D. is designated as the Principal Investigator for the Study.
2
Human subjects were recruited for the Study from Dr. Rosenbergs clinic. The Study enrolled 10 adults with early HIV infection and 10 healthy adults as the control arm, all of whom were required to participate for six months. None of the patients enrolled in the study received injections of Cytolin; rather they donated blood for examination of the effects of Cytolin on their peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). In July, 2010, the enrollment is scheduled to close and the study is scheduled to begin. The Company expects the study to be completed by January 2011. The Study design and objectives are available to view at the governments website at www.clinicaltrials.gov, ID NCT01048372. The public has online access to this federal database, which describes elements of clinical trials and their status. To review public records for the Study on the governments website, enter Cytolin as the search term (case sensitive).
The Clinical Trial Agreement originally provided that the Companys research grant commitment for the Study would total $316,755. In May 2010, the Company agreed to provide an additional $204,000 for the Study. The added funding is designed to enable the Principal Investigator to engage additional personnel for purposes of making Study data available by December 31, 2010. The Company accordingly expects that funding requirements for the Study will total approximately $550,000. The sum of $412,000 is due to be paid by November 30, 2010, with the remaining balance of $137,500 due in January 2011.
The Study is a science-intensive research study and is not intended to function as a registrational study (see Registrational Clinical Trials Process below). CytoDyn contemplates that the Study will be followed by a clinical trial that may or may not be conducted at MGH or with Dr. Rosenberg as the Principal Investigator. The Companys intention is to either fund additional clinical trials and/or attempt to enter into a strategic alliance with a third party concerning its Cytolin(R) brand of S6F1 monoclonal antibodies. There is no assurance that the results of the Study will warrant further clinical trials, or that a strategic alliance for Cytolin will be available.
The Clinical Trial Agreement governs intellectual property rights that may result from the Study. Specifically, under the Clinical Trial Agreement, inventions and other patentable subject matter conceived or reduced to practice in the performance of the Study by Dr. Rosenberg, as Principal Investigator, or others acting at his direction (collectively, MGH Investigators) belong to MGH; patentable subject matter that is jointly invented by MGH Investigators and Company personnel is jointly owned. The Clinical Trial Agreement provides that, upon conception and reduction to practice, MGH Investigators will report and assign their inventions to MGH. MGH is then obligated to advise the Company of the reported invention and to discuss with the Company whether and where patent applications should be filed to protect the invention. Under the Clinical Trial Agreement, MGH controls the prosecution of patent applications. The Company is obligated to bear all costs (including attorneys fees) associated with patent filings, including patent maintenance costs. If the Company does not provide such funding, MGH obtains the right to file and prosecute the invention at its own expense, and the right to license associated rights to other parties without obligation to the Company.
3
If the Company pays patent application filing costs, the Company obtains a three month period, commencing on the application filing date, to exercise an option to negotiate an exclusive license to all of MGHs rights in the invention. If the Company exercises this option, the parties are provided a further three month period to negotiate a license agreement (the Negotiation Period). Under the Clinical Trial Agreement, the license agreement must contain terms that are standard for agreements between universities and industry, including reasonable royalties, time-limited due diligence provisions, and indemnification and insurance requirements. If, upon expiration of the Negotiation Period, the parties have failed to agree upon license terms as specified, then MGH obtains the right to license to others all of MGHs rights in the invention, to the exclusion of the Company. In all instances, MGH reserves the right to use any invention for research, clinical and educational purposes.
The Clinical Trial Agreement also governs the parties rights in Study data and the results of the Study (Study Data and Results). MGH retains ownership of all Study Data and Results, and is obligated to provide the Company with a copy of such Study Data and Results. The Clinical Trial Agreement places limits on the Companys ability to use Study Data and Results. Specifically, the Company is permitted to use Study Data and Results that disclose individually identifiable health information only for purposes of the Study or related studies that concern Cytolin or medical conditions / disease area that are the subject of the Study, however, the Company is permitted to use information that is not identifiable for any research and development purposes. These uses are further limited by the requirements that any such use comply with applicable law (including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)); and that the use is permitted by the informed consent form used with subjects in connection with the Study.
Why Cytolin is a Unique Treatment for Early HIV Infection
During the past decade, significant improvements in the antiviral cocktails used to treat HIV/AIDS have transformed this once fatal disease into a chronic, manageable condition. These drugs are the ingredients of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART), which has saved countless lives and is well tolerated by most patients, although all drugs have side effects.
The current standard of treatment allows for withholding antiviral drugs until the disease has progressed to the point where the drugs are required to maintain a patients health, typically a period of about five years from initial infection. A chief reason for withholding treatment during the early years of HIV infection is that antiviral drugs attack the virus directly. As a result, natural selection promotes the evolution of HIV into species that are resistant to those drugs. If antiviral drugs were prescribed too early, then the virus might become resistant to those drugs, rendering them ineffective, by the time they were necessary to maintain a patients health.
Cytolin is a monoclonal antibody administered by intravenous infusion and might expand the standard of treatment for HIV infection. In compassionate use involving hundreds of
4
patients treated for about two years, who were also simultaneously given access to antiretroviral drugs Cytolin appeared to be well tolerated. Subsequent uncontrolled clinical trials showed that treatment also was associated with favorable results in selected markers of disease progression.
Cytolin binds to a cellular protein highly expressed on killer cells called cytotoxic T cells or CTLs. As first shown by Zarling, et al in 1990 (Journal of Immunology, vol. 144, page 2992), the ability of these killer T cells to indiscriminately destroy CD4 T cells was a trait thought to be unique to humans. It has been known since the beginning of the AIDS pandemic that a wholesale loss of CD4 T cells is the reason why individuals infected with HIV become susceptible to the opportunistic infections and cancers that characterize AIDS. Up until the 1990s when three independent studies proposed that the killer T cells might be contributing to the wholesale loss of CD4 T cells, the actual decline remained a mystery because the virus infects relatively few CD4 T cells. Cytolin was originally thought to act to prevent the wholesale destruction of helpful CD4 T cells by blocking the unwanted activity of an HIV-infected persons own killer T cells.
Since that time, researchers have provided an alternate theory for the decline in CD4 T cells through a process of cellular suicide or cellular self-destruction called apoptosis. This process is initiated when the virus enters the target cells but does not complete its infectious cycle. In addition to CTLs, Cytolin also recognizes and binds to dendritic cells (DCs). These two types of immune cells are critical to the control of viral burden in HIV infected individuals. By binding to these cells, Cytolin appears to induce an antiviral activity that can impede infection of new cells and presumably lead to a reduction in viral burden. Since Cytolin targets a cellular protein, it potentially should not induce the expansion of resistant virus because its target protein is not under the genetic control of the virus. This is in contrast to the antiviral drugs that target viral proteins and thus allow for the generation of drug-resistant viruses. This unique mechanism of action opens the possibility that Cytolin could be administered early in the infection in order to delay the natural progression of the disease and, therefore, the time when antiviral drugs become necessary. If so, healthcare providers could treat individuals infected with HIV more quickly, rather than spending years just watching and waiting.
Monoclonal Antibodies
Cytolin is part of a class of drugs called monoclonal antibodies or targeted therapies. Monoclonal antibodies target specific antigens on a cell or pathogen. Advances in antibody production technologies, such as high productivity cell culture has enabled manufacturers to produce antibody products more cost-effectively than 20 years ago. Many monoclonal antibodies have been approved for marketing as therapeutics by the FDA, and a large number of monoclonal antibodies are currently under investigation in clinical trials. Other companies have monoclonal antibodies in clinical research to prevent or treat HIV/AIDS that are targeted towards the virus. Our monoclonal antibody is intended to treat HIV disease by targeting a cellular protein. The fact that this protein is highly expressed in killer T cells and DCs may allow Cytolin to act through some as yet to be discovered mechanism and indirectly or directly result in the suppression of viral replication, ultimately resulting in the sparing of CD4 T cells in humans infected with HIV.

Acquisition of Advanced Genetic Technologies, Inc.
On January 30, 2007, we acquired, from Utek Corp., our subsidiary Advanced Genetic Technologies, Inc., which holds the exclusive right to develop alternative antibodies that bind to the same cellular target as Cytolin. These two monoclonal antibodies were invented at Harvard University Medical Schools CBR Institute for Biomedical Research. The Company has not used these two antibodies in our research and development efforts to date but we intend to use these in future research and development efforts.
In exchange for $100,000 and seven years of prepaid license fees, the Company issued 100,000 shares of our preferred stock to Utek Corp., in exchange for 1,000 shares or 100% of Advanced Genetic Technologies, Inc., common stock. On July 2009, the preferred shares were converted into 2,356,142 shares of our common stock.
Manufacturing and Source for Raw Materials
We negotiated with a contract manufacturer, Vista Biologicals Corporation, to manufacture Cytolin suitable for use in our current ex vivo clinical trial of Cytolin at a cost of $565,000, all of which was paid by September 2008. We have also negotiated a contract with Vista Biologicals Corporation to manufacture a humanized version of Cytolin at a cost of $229,500, which the Company expects to be paid over the twelve (12) months beginning in March 2010. Although a murine (mouse) version of Cytolin was used for previous human experience that included approximately 200 patients treated for up to two years, as well as an encouraging uncontrolled Phase I(b)/II(a) study, and our current ex-vivo clinical trial, the Company understands that a fully-humanized version is necessary for the controlled clinical trials that are expected to follow the previous ones.
The Company expects to have its proprietary, fully-humanized version of Cytolin ready for bulk manufacturing in the second quarter of 2011.
Patents and Trademarks
We have a License Agreement with Allen D. Allen, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, that gives us the exclusive right to develop, market and profit from his technology worldwide. This includes issued U.S. Patent Nos. 5,424,066; 5,651,970 and 6,534,057, as well as European Patent Nos. 0690725 and 1438970. In addition, Hong Kong Patent No. 1067958, Australian Patent No. 684074 and Canadian Patent No. 2156495 have been obtained as well. We also acquired the federally registered trademarks, CYTODYN (U.S. Registration No. 2095498) and CYTOLIN (U.S. Registration No. 2095497), and a related trademark symbol. The license acquired gives the Company the worldwide, exclusive right to develop, market and sell compounds disclosed by the patent claims, practice methods taught by the patent claims, and exploit specified technology related to the patents. The term of the license agreement is for the life of the patents of which the first will expire in 2013. The original expiration dates on the issued U.S. Patent Nos. 5,424,066; 5,651,970 and 6,534,057 are 2013, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We estimate the costs associated with these issued patents to be approximately
6
$100,000 per year. The Company intends to file a new patent application covering its humanized version(s) of Cytolin during the next fiscal year if our research and development efforts warrant it.
Government Regulation
Regulation of Health Care Industry
The health care industry is highly regulated, and state and federal health care laws and regulations are applicable to certain aspects of our business. For example, there are federal and state health care laws and regulations that apply to the operation of clinical laboratories, the business relationships between health care providers and suppliers, the privacy and security of health information and the conduct of clinical research.
Regulation of Products
The design, testing, manufacture, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, advertising and promotion of our products is regulated by numerous third parties, including the FDA, foreign governments, independent standards auditors and our customers.
In the United States, biological products have long been subject to regulation by various federal and state agencies, primarily as to product safety, efficacy, manufacturing, advertising, labeling, import, export and safety reporting. The exercise of broad regulatory powers by the FDA through its Center for Devices and Radiological Health and its Center for Biological Evaluation and Research continues to result in increases in the amounts of testing and documentation for FDA clearance of current and new biologic products. The FDA can ban certain biological products; detain or seize adulterated or misbranded biological products; order repair, replacement or refund of these products; and require notification of health professionals and others with regard to biological products that present unreasonable risks of substantial harm to the public health. The FDA may also enjoin and restrain certain violations of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Safe Medical Device Act or the Public Health Service Act pertaining to biological products or initiate action for criminal prosecution of such violations.
The lengthy process of seeking drug approvals, and the subsequent compliance with applicable statutes and regulations, require the expenditure of substantial resources. Failure to comply with applicable regulations can result in refusal by the FDA to approve product license applications. The FDA also has the authority to revoke previously granted product approvals.
Regulation of Laboratory Operations
Clinical laboratories that perform laboratory testing (except for research purposes only) on human subjects are subject to regulation under Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA). CLIA regulates clinical laboratories by requiring that the laboratory be certified by the federal government, licensed by the state and comply with various operational, personnel and quality requirements intended to ensure that clinical laboratory test results are accurate, reliable and timely. State law and regulations also apply to the operation of clinical laboratories.
7
State Governments
Most states in which we operate have regulations that parallel federal regulations. Most states conduct periodic unannounced inspections and require licensing under such states procedures. Our research and development activities and the manufacture and marketing of our products are and will be subject to rigorous regulations relating to product safety and efficacy by numerous governmental authorities in the United States and other countries.
Other Laws and Regulations
We are subject to various laws and regulations relating to safe working conditions, clinical, laboratory and manufacturing practices, the experimental use of animals and the use and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances, including radioactive compounds and infectious disease agents, used in connection with our research. The extent of government regulation applying to our business that might result from any legislative or administrative action cannot be accurately predicted.
Environmental
We are subject to a variety of federal, state and local environmental protection measures. We believe that our operations comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Our compliance with these regulations did not have during the past year and is not expected to have a material effect upon our capital expenditures, cash flows, earnings or competitive position.
Registrational Clinical Trials Process
Described below is the traditional registrational drug development track. Under the Companys current business plan, much of this initial work may be sponsored and conducted by the MGH at some point in the future. Once these trials have been initiated, the Company could enter into a strategic alliance with a larger pharmaceutical company after development has progressed to a certain point. While there can be no guarantee that this will occur in our case, if it does, then our larger partner would usually be responsible for dealing with the FDA.
Phase I
Phase I includes the initial introduction of an investigational new drug or biologic into humans. These studies are closely monitored and may be conducted in patients, but are usually conducted in a small number of healthy volunteer subjects. These studies are designed to determine the metabolic and pharmacologic actions of the investigational product in humans, the side effects associated with increasing doses, and, if possible, to gain early evidence on effectiveness. During Phase I, sufficient information about the investigational products pharmacokinetics and pharmacological effects are obtained to permit the design of well-controlled, scientifically valid, Phase II studies.
8
Phase II
Phase II includes the early controlled clinical studies conducted to obtain some preliminary data on the effectiveness of the drug for a particular indication or indications in patients with the disease or condition. This phase of testing also helps determine the common short-term side effects and risks associated with the drug. Phase II studies are typically well-controlled, closely monitored, and conducted in a relatively small number of patients, usually involving several hundred people. In some cases, depending upon the need for a new drug, it may be licensed for sale in interstate commerce after a pivotal Phase II trial.
Phase III
Phase III studies are expanded controlled clinical studies. They are performed after preliminary evidence suggesting effectiveness of the drug has been obtained in Phase II, and are intended to gather the additional information about effectiveness and safety that is needed to evaluate the overall benefit/risk relationship of the drug. Phase III studies also provide an adequate basis for extrapolating the results to the general population and transmitting that information in the physician labeling. Phase III studies usually include several hundred to several thousand people.
CytoDyn may attempt to enter into a strategic alliance with a pharmaceutical marketing company after completion of the current research or after completion of any subsequent clinical trials. There is no guarantee that a strategic alliance would be achieved after any of those trials.
Subsequently, CytoDyn may fund clinical trials using venture capital or, at that time, may enter into a strategic alliance for completion of research and the subsequent marketing of Cytolin if approved. In the former case, CytoDyn Inc., will need to provide a new batch of humanized product, which we estimate will cost approximately $500,000. The Company is conducting a private placement of common shares to secure the capital needed for the follow-up study. We cannot yet estimate the cost of a follow up study at this time or whether or not the private placement will be successful.
There are many factors that can delay clinical trial benchmarks. However, the Company hopes to receive the results and analysis of the upcoming clinical trial during 2011.

Competition
The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are characterized by rapidly evolving technology and intense competition. We will compete with other more established biotechnology companies which have greater financial resources than we have.
Our potential competitors include entities that develop and produce therapeutic agents for treatment of human and animal disease. These include numerous public and private academic and research organizations and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies pursuing production of, among other things, biologics from cell cultures, genetically engineered drugs and natural and chemically synthesized drugs. Almost all of these potential competitors have substantially greater capital resources, research and development capabilities, manufacturing and marketing resources and experience than we have. Our competitors may succeed in developing potential drugs or processes that are more effective or less costly than any that may be developed by us, or that gain regulatory approval prior to our potential drugs. Worldwide, there are many antiviral drugs for treating HIV and AIDS. In seeking to manufacture, distribute and market the various potential drugs we intend to develop, we face competition from established pharmaceutical companies. All of our potential competitors in this field have considerably greater financial and personnel resources than we possess. We also expect that the number of our competitors and potential competitors will increase as more potential drugs receive commercial marketing approvals from the FDA or analogous foreign regulatory agencies. Any of these competitors may be more successful than us in manufacturing, marketing and distributing our potential drugs.
Research and Development Costs
Our sponsored research and development expenses were $328,775, $468,700, and $1,748,703 in fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009 and for the period October 28, 2003 through May 31, 2010, respectively. We expect that research and development expenses will increase as we seek to expand development of our current and future product pipeline.
10
Employees
We have four full time employees and a varying number of consultants engaged in management and product development. We are severely understaffed and will expand our employee force if we complete further financings. There can be no assurance we will be able to locate or secure suitable employees upon acceptable terms in the future.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors . |
This item is not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 2. | Properties. |
Our principal offices are located at 1511 Third Street, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87505. We leased approximately 1,200 square feet for two years under a lease from September 1, 2008 until August 31, 2010 at $1,750 per month.
Item 3. | Legal Proceedings. |
Pursuant to that certain amendment, dated April 27, 2009, to the second amended cross-complaint, the Company was added as a defendant to the lawsuit, styled Barry v. CytoDyn of New Mexico, Inc. (Case No. BC 362909), filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, Los Angeles County. The cross-complaint alleges that we breached an agreement for legal services and that we are indebted to its attorney in connection with such legal services. The cross-complaint seeks monetary damages in the amount of $16,318 or $21,318. We believe these claims are without merit and are responding appropriately to these claims and will continue to vigorously protect our interests.
As previously disclosed, the Company entered into a settlement agreement in December, 2008 with Rex H. Lewis, Maya LLC, and others, related to certain litigation with whereby the Company was both a defendant and a plaintiff. As part of the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to pay $50,000 in January 2009 and $25,000 on or before January 14, 2010 to the plaintiff. The Company paid the $50,000 in January 2009. The remaining $25,000 was unsecured and to accrue interest at 10.0 percent per annum. The Company paid $27,500 in January 2010. As of May 31, 2010, all amounts related to this litigation have been paid and settled.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Annual Report, including our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere herein. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements including information about possible or assumed results of our financial conditions, operations, plans, objectives and performance that involve risk, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated and set forth in such forward-looking statements.

Results of Operations
Results of operations for the year ended May 31, 2010 compared to May 31, 2009 are as follows:
For the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, we had no activities that produced revenues from operations.
For the year ended May 31, 2010, we had a net loss of approximately ($3,359,000) compared to a net loss of approximately $(1,306,000) for the corresponding period in 2009. For the year ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, we incurred operating expenses consisting primarily of stock-based compensation, consulting and salaries, research and development, and amortization.
The operating expenses for the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:
2010 | 2009 | |||||||
Stock-based compensation |
$ | 1,740,000 | $ | 628,000 | ||||

Total |
$ | 3,296,000 | $ | 1,602,000 |
Stock-based compensation increased approximately $1,112,000 primarily due to a significant grant of options in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. A significant amount of the grants had immediate vesting rights, which resulted in a significant increase in stock-based compensation in the fourth quarter of 2010. Legal and accounting expenses increased approximately $86,000 as we incurred increases in audit and accounting fees relative to our efforts to become current on our Exchange Act filings (e.g. the filings of our Form 10-Ks and 10-Qs),
15
which was offset by a decrease in legal fees as our past litigation was settled in fiscal year 2009. Salary and consulting expenses increased approximately $415,000 in 2010 relative to 2009, as our operations increased with the our increases in cash proceeds from equity offerings, which allowed us to hire our Chief Operating Officer. Additionally, some of our employees converted from part time to full time during fiscal year 2010. The research and development expenses decreased approximately $140,000 from fiscal year 2010 to 2009. During 2009 we incurred significant expenditures related to the manufacturing of products used in our clinical trials that are currently in process. We expect research and development expenses to increase as our clinical trials progress.
Interest expense in 2010 related to convertible debt increased relative to 2009 due to fully amortizing our beneficial conversion feature associated with the conversion option related to this debt. There was no beneficial conversion features associated with convertible debt during 2009. Interest expense related to interest on notes payable decreased from fiscal year 2010 to 2009, as we paid down certain notes during 2010.
During 2009, we recognized approximately $337,000 in other income related to the extinguishment of certain debt. Given our current operating environment, we determined that the extinguishment was not extraordinary, but is not included in our operating income. The extinguishment was due to the statute of limitations expiring on a contract that created the debt.
Rescission Liability
The Company has recorded rescission liabilities for May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009 of $3,997,000 and $1,815,000, respectively. These amounts represent the believed potential rescission liability as of the dates presented. With the filing of this Form 10-K/A, the Company is restating its previously issued financial statements for the above-mentioned periods to increase the Companys current liabilities based on the amounts of the above stated rescission liability and to correspondingly increase stockholders deficit for the same amount. See Footnote 3 of our Financial Statements on page 42 for further information regarding these rescission liabilities.
Accrued Incentive Stock Compensation
On August 4, 2008, the Company entered into a seven year Personal Services Agreement with Nader Pourhassan (the Contract). The Contract provides for compensation to Dr. Pourhassan at an annual salary of $200,000. Additionally, as incentive compensation, Dr. Pourhassans personal assistant and one additional person are to receive 50,000 common shares each of Company stock for every $500,000 in capital received by the Company through Dr. Pourhassans efforts. As of May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009, respectively, the Company could potentially owe the two individuals referenced above common stock in the amount of 900,000 common shares and 300,000 common shares, respectively, the cost of which is reflected as Accrued Stock Incentive Compensation at a cost of $ 1,180,000 and $171,000, respectively. We are restating our previously issued financial statements for the above-mentioned periods in the above referenced amounts to increase our liabilities of Accrued Stock Incentive Compensation and to correspondingly decrease our Common Stock to reflect the associated placement offering costs. In addition, costs of $377,079 and $266,800, which were originally reflected as consulting fees and payroll costs during fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively, have been reclassified to
16
Placement Offering Costs, offsetting Common Stock, and to correspondingly reduce our loss and deficit for those years. With the filing of this Form 10-K/A, the Company is restating its previously issued financial statements for the periods of fiscal years ended May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009, to increase the Companys current liability to issue common stock based on the amounts provided in the Contract. However, the ultimate decision on issues relating to the Contract, as referenced above, is still being evaluated by the Company. See Footnote 3 of our Financial Statements on page 42 for further information.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
On May 31, 2010, we had negative working capital of ($4,831,000) as compared to a negative working capital of approximately ($2,205,000) on May 31, 2009.
Cash Flows
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $1,769,000 during fiscal year 2010, which reflects an increase of approximately $749,000 from net cash used in operating activities of approximately $1,020,000 in 2009. The increase in the net cash used in operating activities for the above periods was primarily attributable to the following:
|
Our net cash flows used in operating activity losses increased approximately $749,000, with an increase in accounts payable, accrued interest payable, and accrued liabilities decreasing approximately $99,000. |
The above increases were partially offset by the following:
|
Stock-based compensation increased approximately $1,112,000 from 2009 to 2010. |
|
Debt extinguishment gain of approximately $337,000 in 2009. |
There were no other significant changes in cash used in operating activities from 2009 to 2010.
There were no material changes in cash flows from investing activities from 2009 to 2010.
Cash flows provided by financing activities of approximately $2,208,000 during fiscal year 2010 increased approximately $1,006,000 from approximately $1,202,000 during 2009. The increase in cash provided by financing activities for the above periods was primarily attributable to the following:
|
Cash proceeds from the sale of Series B Convertible Stock increased approximately $2,009,000. |
|
Proceeds from the sale of treasury stock increased approximately $559,000. |
The above increases were partially offset by the following:
|
Proceeds from the sale of common stock decreased approximately $923,000 from 2009 to 2010. |
17
|
Purchases of treasury stock increased approximately $436,000 from 2009 to 2010. |
|
Payments related to equity offering costs increased approximately $182,000 from 2009 to 2010. |
There were no other significant changes in cash provided by financing activities from 2009 to 2010.
As shown in the accompanying Financial Statements, for the year ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, and since October 28, 2003 through May 31, 2010 we incurred net losses of approximately $(3,360,000) and $(1,306,000) and $(11,639,000), respectively. As of May 31, 2010, we have not emerged from the development stage. In view of these matters, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability. Since inception, we have financed our activities principally from the sale of public and private equity securities and proceeds from notes payable. We intend to finance our future development activities and our working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources.
As previously mentioned, since October 28, 2003, we have financed our operations largely from the sale of common stock and preferred stock and proceeds from notes payable. From October 28, 2003 through May 31, 2010 we raised cash of approximately $4,950,000 (net of offering costs) through private placements of common and preferred stock financings and $1,537,000 through the issuance related party notes payable and convertible notes. Additionally, the Company has raised approximately $612,000 from the issuance of common stock and preferred stock in conjunction with certain acquisitions in prior years. In April 2010, our shareholders voted to amend our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 100,000,000 shares; accordingly, we intend to continue to finance our operations through the sale of our shares.
Since October 28, 2003 through May 31, 2010, we have incurred approximately $1,749,000 of research and development costs and approximately $11,141,000 in operating expenses. We have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of May 31, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $13,241,000 and negative working capital of approximately $4,831,000.
We anticipate that cash used in product development and operations, especially in the marketing, production and sale of our products will increase significantly in the future. We currently do not have any significant material commitments related to capital expenditures. As described above, we do have material commitments related to our current Study (as defined above) of our product with MGH, and our contracts with Vista Biologicals Corporation.
Going Concern
We will require additional funding in order to continue with research and development efforts.
18
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is currently in the development stage with losses for all periods presented. As of May 31, 2010 these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Companys continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional operating capital, complete development of its medical treatments, obtain FDA approval, outsource manufacturing of the treatments, and ultimately to attain profitability. The Company intends to seek additional funding through equity offerings or licensing agreements to fund its business plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in these endeavors.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a 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 is material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
We believe that the following critical policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.
We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant utilizing certain assumptions that require judgments and estimates. These assumptions include estimates for volatility, expected term, and risk-free interest rates in determining the fair value of the stock-based awards.
We issue common stock to consultants for various services. Costs for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more readily measurable. This determination requires judgment in terms of the consideration being measured.
We estimated an amount that is a probable indicator of our rescission liability and will record rescission liabilities for May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009 of $3,997,000 and $1,815,000, respectively. These amounts represent the believed potential rescission liability as of the dates
19
presented. With the filing of this Form 10-K/A, we are restating our previously issued financial statements for the above-mentioned periods to increase our current liabilities based on the amounts of the above stated rescission liability and to correspondingly increase stockholders deficit for the same amount. See Footnote 3 of our Financial Statements on page 42 for further information.
The Company is evaluating its obligations under a seven year Personal Services Agreement dated August 4, 2008 (the Contract), with Nader Pourhassan pursuant to which compensation was paid or accrued in view of the subsequent determination that these payments violated applicable securities laws. Such violations gave rise to the Companys rescission obligation reflected in the Financial Statements. It is unclear at this point whether the Company has any defenses to payment, whether the Company has any rights to recover payments made to Mr. Pourhassan or others at his direction or as contemplated in the Contract (including payments in the form of securities); or whether, even if the Company does have such rights, Mr. Pourhassan (and perhaps others) would have certain equitable remedies that would entitle Mr. Pourhassan (and perhaps others) to set off against the Companys rights or would obligate the Company to make compensatory payments for services performed by Mr. Pourhassan (and others under his direction).
The Contract provides for compensation to Dr. Pourhassan at an annual salary of $200,000. Additionally, as incentive compensation, Dr. Pourhassans personal assistant and one additional person are to receive 50,000 common shares each of Company stock for every $500,000 in capital received by the Company through Dr. Pourhassans efforts. As of May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009, respectively, the Company could potentially owe the two individuals referenced above common stock in the amount of 900,000 common shares and 300,000 common shares, respectively, the cost of which is reflected as Accrued Stock Incentive Compensation at a cost of $ 1,180,000 and $ 171,000, respectively. We are restating our previously issued financial statements for the above-mentioned periods in the above referenced amounts to increase our liabilities of Accrued Stock Incentive Compensation and to correspondingly decrease our Common Stock to reflect the associated placement offering costs. In addition, costs of $377,079 and $266,800, which were originally reflected as consulting fees and payroll costs during fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively, have been reclassified to Placement Offering Costs, offsetting Common Stock, and to correspondingly reduce our loss and deficit for those years. With the filing of this Form 10-K/A, the Company is restating its previously issued financial statements for the periods of fiscal years ended May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009, to increase the Companys current liability to issue common stock based on the amounts provided in the Contract. However, the ultimate obligations or rights under the Contract is still being evaluated by the Company. See Footnote 3 of our Financial Statements on page 42 for further information.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders
CytoDyn Inc. (A Development Stage Company)
Lutz, Florida
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CytoDyn Inc. (a development stage company) as of May 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders equity, and cash flows for the years then ended and the period from October 28, 2003 through May 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required at this time, to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CytoDyn Inc. as of May 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and the period from October 28, 2003 through May 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of ($3,359,865) for the year ended May 31, 2010 and has an accumulated deficit of ($13,240,606) from the date of inception through May 31, 2010, which raises a substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its financial statements as of May 31, 2010 and 2009 and for the periods then ended.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 - Organization
CytoDyn Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of Colorado on May 2, 2002 under the name Rexray Corporation (Rexray). In October 2003, the Company (under its previous name RexRay Corporation) entered into an Acquisition Agreement with CytoDyn of New Mexico, Inc. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, we acquired assets related to our leading drug candidate, Cytolin, including the assignment of the patent license agreement dated July 1, 1994 between CytoDyn of New Mexico, Inc. and Allen D. Allen covering three United States patents along with foreign counterpart patents which describe a method for treating HIV disease with the use of monoclonal antibodies. This includes issued U.S. Patent Nos. 5,424,066; 5,651,970 and 6,534,057, as well as European Patent Nos. 0690725 and 1438970. In addition, Hong Kong Patent No. 1067958, Australian Patent No. 684074 and Canadian Patent No. 2156495 have been obtained as well. We also acquired the federally registered trademarks, CYTODYN (U.S. Registration No. 2095498) and CYTOLIN (U.S. Registration No. 2095497), and a related trademark symbol. The license acquired gives the Company the worldwide, exclusive right to develop, market and sell compounds disclosed by the patent claims, practice methods taught by the patent claims, and exploit specified technology related to the patents. The term of the license agreement is for the life of the patents of which the first will expire in 2013. The original expiration dates on the issued U.S. Patent Nos. 5,424,066; 5,651,970 and 6,534,057 are 2013, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As consideration for the intellectual property and trademarks we paid CytoDyn of New Mexico $10,000 in cash and issued 5,362,640 post-split shares of common stock to CytoDyn of New Mexico.
The Company entered the development stage effective October 28, 2003 upon the reverse merger and recapitalization of the Company and follows Financial Standard Accounting Codification No. 915, Development Stage Entities.
Advanced Influenza Technologies, Inc. (AITI) was incorporated under the laws of Florida on June 9, 2006 pursuant to an acquisition during 2006. This entity was administratively dissolved on September 25, 2009.
Advanced Genetic Technologies, Inc. (AGTI) was incorporated under the laws of Florida on December 18, 2006 pursuant to an acquisition during 2006.
CytoDyn Inc., discovered and is developing a class of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies to address significant unmet medical needs in the areas of HIV and AIDS.
2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CytoDyn Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries; AITI and AIGI. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company is currently in the development stage with losses for all periods presented. As of August 4, 2011 these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Companys continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional operating capital, complete development of its medical treatment, obtain FDA approval, outsource manufacturing of the treatment, and ultimately to attain profitability. The Company intends to seek additional funding through equity offerings to fund its business plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in these endeavors.

CYTODYN INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of May 31, 2010 or May 31, 2009. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Furniture and Equipment
Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally three to seven years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and major improvements or betterments are capitalized. Gains or losses on sales or retirements are included in the consolidated statements of operations in the year of disposition.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets under U.S. GAAP, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amount. If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. There were no impairment charges for years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, and for the period October 28, 2003 to May 31, 2010.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Financial Instruments
At May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009, the carrying value of the Companys financial instruments approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. The Companys notes payable have market rates of interest, and accordingly, the carrying values of the notes approximates the fair value.
Stock-Based Compensation
U.S. GAAP requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The expense is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award (requisite service period). U.S. GAAP provides for two transition methods. The modified prospective method requires that share-based compensation expense be recorded for any employee options granted after the adoption date and for the unvested portion of any employee options outstanding as of the adoption date. The modified retrospective method requires that, beginning upon adoption, all prior periods presented be restated to reflect the impact of share-based compensation expense consistent with the pro forma disclosures previously required under U.S. GAAP. The Company adopted the modified prospective method, and as a result, was not required to restate its financial results for prior periods. Prior to June 1, 2006, the Company recognized compensation expense to the extent of employee or director services rendered based on the intrinsic value of stock options granted under the plan.
40
CYTODYN INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company accounts for common stock options, and common stock warrants granted based on the fair market value of the instrument using the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing certain weighted average assumptions such as expected stock price volatility, term of the options and warrants, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividend yield at the grant date. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the stock options. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Companys common stock at consistent intervals. The Company has not paid any dividends on its common stock since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. The computation of the expected option term is based on the simplified method as the Companys stock options are plain vanilla options and the Company has a limited history of exercise data. For common stock options and warrants with graded vesting, the Company recognizes the related compensation costs associated with these options and warrants on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
U.S. GAAP requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based on limited historical experience of forfeitures, the Company estimated future unvested option forfeitures at 0% as of May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009.
Stock for Services
The Company issues common stock and common stock options to consultants for various services. Costs for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (i) the date at which the counterpartys performance is complete.
(Loss) Per Common Share
Basic (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) per share is computed by dividing net (loss) by the weighted average common shares and potentially dilutive common share equivalents. The effects of potential common stock equivalents are not included in computations when their effect is anti-dilutive. Because of the net losses for all periods presented, the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same since including the additional shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share calculation. Common stock option and warrants to purchase 7,660,176, 4,975,976 and 7,660,176 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the periods ended May 31, 2010, 2009 and for the period October 28, 2003 to May 31, 2010 respectively, as inclusion would be anti-dilutive for these periods. Additionally, 400,000 shares of Series B convertible stock can potentially convert into 4,000,000 shares of common stock.
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are provided on the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Future tax benefits for net operating loss carryforwards are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 Uncertainty in Income Taxes (ASC 740-10), January 1, 2007. The Company has not recognized a liability as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there are no unrecognized benefits at May 31, 2010 or 2009 and since the date of adoption. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefit in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities for tax years ending after 2006.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3- Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements
On March 11, 2011, on managements recommendation, the Board of Directors of the Company concluded, and Pender Newkirk & Company LLP, the Companys independent auditors agreed, that the Companys financial statements for the period ending May 31, 2010 should no longer be relied upon and should be restated. The Companys board of directors was advised by outside legal counsel that compensation the Company previously paid to an employee and certain other non-employees who were acting as unlicensed, non-exempt broker-dealers soliciting investors on behalf of the Company from April 15, 2008 to February 18, 2011 was a violation of certain state and possibly federal securities laws. As a result, such investors and potentially others have rescission or monetary claims against the Company, and the Companys liability for these potential Claims is now being properly reflected in the Companys financial statements. On March 16, 2011, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the potential rescission liability (the Liability Disclosure). On July 21, 2011, the Company filed a Current Report of Form 8-K disclosing its receipt of an SEC letter of inquiry and request for voluntary Assistance in discovering information related to the Liability Disclosure. We are cooperating with the SEC to provide all information required by this inquiry.
Rescission rights for individual investors and subscribers vary, based upon the laws of the states in which the investors or subscribers reside. Investments and subscriptions that are subject to rescission are recorded separately in our financial statements from stockholders deficiency in the Companys balance sheet. As the statute of limitations expire in the respective states, such amounts for those shares are reclassified to stockholders deficiency. Investors who have sold their shares of capital stock of the Company do not have rescission rights, but instead have claims for damages, to the extent their shares were sold at a net loss, which is determined by subtracting the purchase price plus statutory interest and costs (if any) from the sale price.
Based on the Companys ongoing investigation, assuming there are no affirmative defenses or exemptions available to the Company, investors may have up to approximately $6.4 million of federal and state Claims against the Company as of the date of filing this Form 10-K/A. These investor Claims could include approximately $5.1 million of potential state or foreign jurisdiction Claims involving approximately 17 states and five foreign jurisdictions that are not currently barred by the applicable statute of limitations or state law exemptions from broker-dealer registration requirements and these investors may also have overlapping federal Claims; the remainder could involve investors who do not have state law Claims but who may have federal rescission or damages rights if such rights can be proven to exist because of the Companys failure to disclose contingent liabilities related to the state and foreign jurisdiction Claims. The Company is continuing with its scientific and business plans in the ordinary course and is currently seeking to obtain a Letter of Credit to provide the Company the financial ability with respect to any potential Claims. As of the date of this Form 10-K/A, the Company has been notified by one Investor regarding such investors intent to seek rescission in the amount of $10,000.
The Company estimates an amount that is a probable indicator of the rescission liability and will record rescission liabilities for May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009 of $3,997,000 and $1,815,000, respectively. These amounts represent the believed potential rescission liability as of the dates presented. With the filing of this Form 10-K/A, the Company is restating its previously issued financial statements to increase the Companys current liabilities based on the amounts of the above stated rescission liability and to correspondingly increase stockholders deficit for the same amount.
The Company is considering methods to offer to rescind the previous investment purchase or subscription by persons who acquired or subscribed for such investments during the period April 15, 2008 to February 18, 2011. The Company may commence a rescission offer to give each investor the opportunity to rescind or not rescind their investment (if not already sold) or subscription agreements or by certain shareholders between April 15, 2008 to February 18, 2011. Any rescission offer could address all or part of the Companys rescission liability relating to its federal and state securities laws compliance issues by allowing the investors covered by the rescission offer to rescind the underlying securities transactions and sell those back to the Company or recover funding provided with subscription agreements, as the case may be.

CYTODYN INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company is evaluating its obligations under a seven year Personal Services Agreement dated August 4, 2008 (the Contract), with Nader Pourhassan pursuant to which compensation was paid or accrued in view of the subsequent determination that these payments violated applicable securities laws. Such violations gave rise to the Companys rescission obligation reflected in these financial statements. It is unclear at this point whether the Company has any defenses to payment, whether the Company has any rights to recover payments made to Mr. Pourhassan or others at his direction or as contemplated in the Contract (including payments in the form of securities); or whether, even if the Company does have such rights, Mr. Pourhassan (and perhaps others) would have certain equitable remedies that would entitle Mr. Pourhassan (and perhaps others) to set off against the Companys rights or would obligate the Company to make compensatory payments for services performed by Mr. Pourhassan (and others under his direction).
The Contract provides for compensation to Dr. Pourhassan at an annual salary of $200,000. Additionally, as incentive compensation, Dr. Pourhassans personal assistant and one additional person are to receive 50,000 common shares each of Company stock for every $500,000 in capital received by the Company through Dr. Pourhassans efforts. As of May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009, respectively, the Company could potentially owe the two individuals referenced above common stock in the amount of 900,000 common shares and 300,000 common shares, respectively, the cost of which is reflected as Accrued Stock Incentive Compensation at a cost of $ 1,180,000 and $ 171,000, respectively. We are restating our previously issued financial statements for the above-mentioned periods in the above referenced amounts to increase our liabilities of Accrued Stock Incentive Compensation and to correspondingly decrease our Common Stock to reflect the associated placement offering costs. In addition, costs of $377,079 and $266,800, which were originally reflected as consulting fees and payroll costs during fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively, have been reclassified to Placement Offering Costs, offsetting Common Stock, and to correspondingly reduce our loss and deficit for those years. With the filing of this Form 10-K/A, the Company is restating its previously issued financial statements for the periods of fiscal years ended May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009, to increase the Companys current liability to issue common stock based on the amounts provided in the Contract. However, the ultimate obligations or rights under the Contract is still being evaluated by the Company.
The following schedule illustrates the effects on the account reclassifications relating to the above restatements as of May 31, 2010 and 2009 and October 28, 2003 through May 31, 2010:

At the commitment date, there was no beneficial conversion feature associated with the convertible preferred stock, and accordingly, no constructive dividend was recorded by the Company.
During fiscal year 2010 the Company issued 400,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (Series B) at $5.00 per share for cash proceeds totaling $1,769,000, net of approximately $240,000 in offering costs.

At the commitment date, which occurred upon the shareholders approving the increase in the authorized shares, the conversion option related to the Series B was beneficial. The intrinsic value of the conversion option at

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of May 31, 2010, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of May 31, 2010 as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting discussed below.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the Companys transactions; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements and that receipts and expenditures of the Companys assets are made in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of the Companys financial statements would be prevented or detected.
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2010 using the criteria set forth in the Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based upon the evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of May 31, 2010 because of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a control deficiency that results in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by employees in the normal course of their assigned functions. Our management concluded that we have several material weaknesses in our internal control over
49
financial reporting because of inadequate segregation of duties over authorization, review and recording of transactions as well as the financial reporting of such transactions. Due to the Companys limited resources, management has not developed a plan to mitigate the above material weaknesses. Despite the existence of these material weaknesses, we believe the financial information presented herein is materially correct and in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this Annual Report.
Changes in Control Over Financial Reporting
No change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting occurred during the year ended May 31, 2010, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
None.

We have adopted a Code of Ethics for our Senior Executive Officers (the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Controller (or persons performing similar functions)), as well as a Code of Business Conduct and an Insider Trading Policy for the Company. These can all be found on our website at www.cytodyn.com under the Management tab.
Audit Committee
An Audit Committee Charter was adopted by the Board of Directors and became effective on June 1, 2007. Our Audit Committee Charter can be found on our website at www.cytodyn.com under the Management tab. The Audit Committee assists the full Board of Directors in its general oversight of our financial reporting, internal controls, and audit functions, and is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accounting firm. The Board of Directors resolved to establish an audit committee of the Board of Directors composed of Board members Gregory A. Gould, CPA, George F. Dembow and Ronald J. Tropp. One of the members of the audit committee, Mr. Gould, is a financial expert as defined in Regulation S-B Item 401(e)(1)(ii)(2), and he is the only independent member of the Audit Committee at this time. Mr. Dembow and Mr. Tropp, the other members of our Audit Committee are not independent. The Nasdaq Stock Market Rules (the NASDAQ Rules) state that the Audit Committee must have at least three members, each of whom is independent. As discussed in Item 13 Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence below, the Company has outstanding indebtedness owed to Mr. Dembow in the form of interest-bearing promissory notes. The Board considered the indebtedness when evaluating Mr. Dembows independence, and determined that it constitutes a relationship, which, in the opinion of the Board, which would interfere with the exercise of his independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Board previously believed Mr. Tropp to be independent; however the Board has since reevaluated the independence of Mr. Tropp based on outstanding legal service fees owed by the Company to Mr. Tropp, and the Board has determined that Mr. Tropp is not independent under the NASDAQ Rules. The Board is currently evaluating the composition of the Audit Committee and seeking additional or replacement members who meet the requirements of the NASDAQ Rules.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence
Related Party Transactions, Actual or Proposed, during the two years ended May 31, 2010
We propose to be, or during the last two years were, party to certain transactions involving amounts in excess of $120,000, in which our Directors (including Director nominees), Executive Officers, others hold more than 5% of any class of our securities, or their immediate family members, had or will have a material interest. The interested parties and transactions are described below.
58
In May and July 2007, we issued to George Dembow, a director of the Company, $150,000 in interest-bearing promissory notes. The notes bear interest at 14% per annum, are unsecured, and have no stated maturity date. As of May 31, 2010, the balance of the notes is $110,000, and is included as Indebtedness to Related Parties in the financial statements.
The Company has a License Agreement with Allen D. Allen, the Companys President CEO and Chairman of the Board, that gives us the worldwide, exclusive right to develop, market and sell compounds disclosed by the patent claims, practice methods taught by the patent claims, and exploit specified technology related to the patents. This includes issued U.S. Patent Nos. 5,424,066; 5,651,970 and 6,534,057, European Patent Nos. 0690725 and 1438970, Hong Kong Patent No. 1067958, Australian Patent No. 684074, Canadian Patent No. 2156495, as well as the federally registered trademarks, CYTODYN (U.S. Registration No. 2095498) and CYTOLIN (U.S. Registration No. 2095497), and a related trademark symbol. The term of the license agreement is for the life of the patents of which the first will expire in 2013. The original expiration dates on the issued U.S. Patent Nos. 5,424,066; 5,651,970 and 6,534,057 are 2013, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The original licensee and predecessor to the Company, CytoDyn of New Mexico, Inc. granted Mr. Allen 25,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for the license under the license agreement. The Company estimates its costs associated with these issued patents to be approximately $100,000 per year.
Director Independence
In determining director independence, the Company uses the definition of independence set out in Rule 5605(a)(2) of The Nasdaq Stock Market Rules (the NASDAQ Rules). Rule 5605 (b) (1) of the NASDAQ Rules requires that a majority of the members of the Companys Board of Directors be independent in that they are not an executive officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Companys board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Board of Directors has determined that two of our directors, Gregory A. Gould, CPA, and Jordan Naydenov, meet the requirements of the NASDAQ Rules for the independence of directors. The Board does not currently have a majority of independent members. As discussed above, the Company has outstanding indebtedness owed to Mr. Dembow in the form of interest-bearing promissory notes. The Board considered the indebtedness when evaluating Mr. Dembows independence, and determined that it constitutes a relationship, which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of his independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In evaluating Mr. Goulds independence, the Company considered indebtedness in the amount of $9,000 owed by the Company to an educational fund benefitting Mr. Goulds extended family, and determined that it did not constitute a relationship, which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of his independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Board previously believed Mr. Tropp to be independent; however the Board has since reevaluated the independence of Mr. Tropp based on outstanding legal service fees owed by the Company to Mr. Tropp, and the Board has determined that Mr. Tropp is not independent under the NASDAQ Rules. The Board is currently seeking additional or replacement members who meet the independence requirements of the NASDAQ Rules.
59
The NASDAQ Rules states that the Audit Committee must have at least three directors, each of whom is independent. Our Audit Committee consists of one independent director, Mr. Gould, and two directors that are not independent, Mr. Dembow and Mr. Tropp. The independent members of our Audit Committee also meet the additional independence and experience requirements of the SEC and the NASDAQ Rules applicable specifically to members of the Audit Committee. The NASDAQ Rules state that all members of the Compensation Committee must be independent, except under exceptional and limited circumstances. Our Compensation Committee consists of two independent directors, Mr. Gould and Mr. Naydenov and two directors that are not independent, Mr. Tropp and Mr. Dembow.

Tropp. The Board of Directors pre-approves all engagements for audit and non-audit services provided by the Companys principal accounting firm, Pender Newkirk and Company.
60

With respect to grants of Awards to Directors or Employees who are also Officers or Directors of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable Laws and to permit such grants and related transactions under the Plan to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act in accordance with Rule 16b-3. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board.
(ii) Administration With Respect to Consultants and Other Employees . With respect to grants of Awards to Employees or Consultants who are neither Directors nor Officers of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable Laws. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board.
(iii) Administration With Respect to Covered Employees . Notwithstanding the foregoing, grants of Awards to any Covered Employee intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be made only by a Committee (or subcommittee of a Committee) which is comprised solely of two or more Directors eligible to serve on a committee making Awards qualifying as Performance-Based Compensation. In the case of such Awards granted to Covered Employees, references to the Administrator or to a Committee shall be deemed to be references to such Committee or subcommittee.
(iv) Administration Errors . In the event an Award is granted in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this subsection (a), such Award shall be presumptively valid as of its grant date to the extent permitted by the Applicable Laws.
(v) Officer Authorization to Grant Awards . The Board may authorize one or more Officers to grant Awards subject to such limitations as the Board determines from time to time.
(vi) Multiple Administrative Bodies . The Plan may be administered by different bodies with respect to Directors, Officers, Consultants, and Employees who are neither Directors nor Officers.
(b) Powers of the Administrator . Subject to Applicable Laws and the provisions of the Plan (including any other powers given to the Administrator hereunder), and except as otherwise provided by the Board, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:
(i) to select the Employees, Directors and Consultants to whom Awards may be granted from time to time hereunder;
(ii) to determine whether and to what extent Awards are granted hereunder;
(iii) to determine the number of Shares or the amount of other consideration to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;
(iv) to approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan;
(v) to determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder;
(vi) to amend the terms of any outstanding Award granted under the Plan, provided that (A) any amendment that would adversely affect the Grantees rights under an outstanding Award shall not be made without the Grantees written consent, (B) the reduction of the exercise price of any Option awarded under the Plan shall be subject to shareholder approval and (C) canceling an Option at a time when its exercise price exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares, in exchange for another Option, Restricted Stock, or other Award shall be subject to shareholder approval, unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with a Corporate Transaction;
(vii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards, including without limitation, any notice of award or Award Agreement, granted pursuant to the Plan;
(viii) to grant Awards to Employees, Directors and Consultants employed outside the United States on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Administrator, be necessary or desirable to further the purpose of the Plan;
(ix) to take such other action, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator deems appropriate.
(c) Indemnification . In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or as Officers or Employees of the Company or a Related Entity, members of the Board and any Officers or Employees of the Company or a Related Entity to whom authority to act for the Board, the Administrator or the Company is delegated shall be defended and indemnified by the Company to the extent permitted by law on an after-tax basis against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, or any Award granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct; provided, however, that within 30 days after the institution of such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at the Companys expense to defend the same.
5. Eligibility . Awards other than Incentive Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Directors and Consultants. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company or a Parent or a Subsidiary of the Company. An Employee, Director or Consultant who has been granted an Award may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional Awards. Awards may be granted to such Employees, Directors or Consultants who are residing in non-U.S. jurisdictions as the Administrator may determine from time to time.
6. Terms and Conditions of Awards .
(a) Types of Awards . The Administrator is authorized under the Plan to award any type of arrangement to an Employee, Director or Consultant that is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan and that by its terms involves or might involve the issuance of (i) Shares, (ii) cash or (iii) an Option, a SAR, or similar right with a fixed or variable price related to the Fair Market Value of the Shares and with an exercise or conversion privilege related to the passage of time, the occurrence of one or more events, or the satisfaction of performance criteria or other conditions. Such awards include, without limitation, Options, SARs, sales or bonuses of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalent Rights, and an Award may consist of one such security or benefit, or 2 or more of them in any combination or alternative.
(b) Designation of Award . Each Award shall be designated in the Award Agreement. In the case of an Option, the Option shall be designated as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares subject to Options designated as Incentive Stock Options which become exercisable for the first time by a Grantee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options, to the extent of the Shares covered thereby in excess of the foregoing limitation, shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. For this purpose, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the grant date of the relevant Option.
(c) Conditions of Award . Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator shall determine the provisions, terms, and conditions of each Award including, but not limited to, the Award vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, form of payment (cash, Shares, or other consideration) upon settlement of the Award, payment contingencies, and satisfaction of any performance criteria. The performance criteria established by the Administrator may be based on any one of, or combination of, the following: (i) increase in share price, (ii) earnings per share, (iii) total shareholder return, (iv) operating margin, (v) gross margin, (vi) return on equity, (vii) return on assets, (viii) return on investment, (ix) operating income, (x) net operating income, (xi) pre-tax profit, (xii) cash flow, (xiii) revenue, (xiv) expenses, (xv) earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation, (xvi) economic value added and (xvii) market share. The performance criteria may be applicable to the Company, Related Entities and/or any individual business units of the Company or any Related Entity. Partial achievement of the specified criteria may result in a payment or vesting corresponding to the degree of achievement as specified in the Award Agreement.
(d) Acquisitions and Other Transactions . The Administrator may issue Awards under the Plan in settlement, assumption or substitution for, outstanding awards or obligations to grant future awards in connection with the Company or a Related Entity acquiring another entity, an interest in another entity or an additional interest in a Related Entity whether by merger, stock purchase, asset purchase or other form of transaction.
(e) Deferral of Award Payment . The Administrator may establish one or more programs under the Plan to permit selected Grantees the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of consideration upon exercise of an Award, satisfaction of performance criteria, or other event that absent the election would entitle the Grantee to payment or receipt of Shares or other consideration under an Award. The Administrator may establish the election procedures, the timing of such elections, the mechanisms for payments of, and accrual of interest or other earnings, if any, on amounts, Shares or other consideration so deferred, and such other terms, conditions, rules and procedures that the Administrator deems advisable for the administration of any such deferral program.
(f) Separate Programs . The Administrator may establish one or more separate programs under the Plan for the purpose of issuing particular forms of Awards to one or more classes of Grantees on such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator from time to time.
(g) Individual Limitations on Awards .
(i) Individual Limit for Options and SARs . The maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options and SARs may be granted to any Grantee in any fiscal year of the Company shall be 800,000 Shares. In connection with a Grantees commencement of Continuous Service, a Grantee may be granted Options or SARs for up to an additional 600,000 Shares which shall not count against the limit set forth in the previous sentence. The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Companys capitalization pursuant to Section 10, below. To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code or the regulations thereunder, in applying the foregoing limitations with respect to a Grantee, if any Option or SAR is canceled, the canceled Option or SAR shall continue to count
against the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options and SARs may be granted to the Grantee. For this purpose, the repricing of an Option (or in the case of a SAR, the base amount on which the stock appreciation is calculated is reduced to reflect a reduction in the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock) shall be treated as the cancellation of the existing Option or SAR and the grant of a new Option or SAR.

15. No Effect on Terms of Employment/Consulting Relationship . The Plan shall not confer upon any Grantee any right with respect to the Grantees Continuous Service, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the right of the Company or any Related Entity to terminate the Grantees Continuous Service at any time, with or without Cause, and with or without notice. The ability of the Company or any Related Entity to terminate the employment of a Grantee who is employed at will is in no way affected by its determination that the Grantees Continuous Service has been terminated for Cause for the purposes of this Plan.

Except as specifically provided in a retirement or other benefit plan of the Company or a Related Entity, Awards shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits or contributions under any retirement plan of the Company or a Related Entity, and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of any kind or any benefit plan subsequently instituted under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to level of compensation.

The Company shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Grantee account shall not create or constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Administrator, the Company or any Related Entity and a Grantee, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Grantee or the Grantees creditors in any assets of the Company or a Related Entity. The Grantees shall have no claim against the Company or any Related Entity for any changes in the value of any assets that may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan.
