2011. These expenses are comprised of the following elements:

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, legal costs, accounting costs and other professional, regulatory and

administrative costs.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $553,605 over the same period of the prior

year. This increase was driven by the granting of stock options to key senior executives and the related compensation expense recorded in the current

period, as well as other stock based payment arrangements to contractors and employees. Additionally, as the Company continues our strive to commercial

prior year. This decrease was mainly driven by significant decreases in the accounting, legal and other professional fees incurred by us in the current period

coupled with the recovery of legal fees related to previous litigation from our insurance carrier. These decreases were offset by the expenses recorded

relating to the granting of stock options to key senior executives and the related compensation expense recorded in the current period.
