(c)           On March 8, 2007, we appointed John Kaiser as our Chief Executive Officer, effective as of March 26, 2007.  Mr. Kaiser has also been elected as a member of our Board of Directors, effective as of March 26, 2007.  From November 2002 through September 2005, Mr. Kaiser, age 69, was chief executive officer of Aperon Biosystems, a venture-backed medical device company based in Menlo Park, CA.  From July 2000 to August 2001, Mr. Kaiser was a founder and chief executive officer of VetMedSupply.com, a privately held company.  From 1990 to 1998, Mr. Kaiser served as director, president and chief executive officer of Biocircuits Corp., a publicly traded company specializing in the development of immunodiagnostic testing systems, serving as chairman of the board of directors beginning in March 1992.  Prior to joining Biocircuits Corp., Mr. Kaiser held various management positions at Boehringer Mannheim Corp. (currently Roche) and Abbott Diagnostics.  Mr. Kaiser holds a B.S. in Economics from the University of Wisconsin.

In connection with his appointment, on March 8, 2007, we entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Kaiser pursuant to which we agreed to further negotiate and enter into an employment agreement containing certain terms.  The letter agreement provides, among other things, for the following:  (a) an annual salary of $250,000; (b) a restricted stock grant of 2,000,000 shares, granted concurrently with the execution of a definitive employment agreement; and (c) if terminated other than for cause during the first year of employment, Mr. Kaiser is entitled to receive payment of one year’s salary and vesting of 25% of the above restricted stock grant.  We expect to enter into a definitive employment agreement with Mr. Kaiser prior to March 26, 2007, the date his employment with us commences.
