Employment Agreements

On January 25, 2006, we entered into employment agreements with Elizabeth Plaza and Nélida Plaza. Our agreement with Elizabeth Plaza, recently extended to January 1, 2010, provides that Ms. Plaza will serve as our president and chief executive officer for which she will receive a salary at the annual rate of $250,000. The Company will also provide Ms. Plaza with an automobile allowance at the annual rate of $24,828, discretionary bonuses and stock options or other equity-based incentives as shall be determined by our compensation committee, except that her bonus shall not be less than 4% or more than 50% of her salary. If we terminate Ms. Plaza’s employment other than for cause or as a result of her death or disability, we are required to pay Ms. Plaza the balance of her compensation for her employment terms and her consulting term and other benefits, including a pro rata portion of the bonus that would have been paid to her, and her obligations under her non-competition provision terminate. Since the bonus is discretionary, with a minimum bonus of 4% of Ms. Plaza’s salary, unless the compensation committee shall have provided for a greater bonus prior to the termination of Ms. Plaza’s employment without cause, Ms. Plaza would not be entitled to a bonus greater than $10,000, which is 4% of $250,000, the amount of the bonus to be based on the remaining employment term. Upon termination of the agreement Ms. Plaza will serve as a consultant under terms to be negotiated.

Our agreement with Nélida Plaza provides that Ms. Plaza will serve as vice president for a term of three years for which she will receive annual compensation at the annual rate of $150,000. She is also entitled to bonus compensation as is determined by the compensation committee, not to exceed 50% of her salary. We also agreed to make the lease payments on the automobile she currently leases. Such payments are at the annual rate of approximately $11,592. If we terminate Ms. Plaza’s employment other than for cause or as a result of her death or disability, we are required to pay Ms. Plaza her compensation for the balance of the term and other benefits, including a pro rata portion of the bonus that would have been paid to her, and her obligations under her non-competition provision terminate. Since Ms. Plaza’s employment contract provides for a discretionary bonus, unless the compensation committee shall have provided for a bonus to Ms. Plaza prior to the termination of her employment without cause, Ms. Plaza would not be entitled to any bonus payment.

The employment agreements with both Elizabeth Plaza and Nélida Plaza provide that during the term of the agreement and for two years thereafter, the executive will not, directly or indirectly engage in a competing business or solicit any customer or seek to persuade any customer to reduce the amount of business it does with us or seek to persuade any employee to leave our employ.

On November 5, 2007, we entered into an employment agreement with Pedro Lasanta, our chief financial officer, pursuant to which we pay Mr. Lasanta an annual salary of $100,000 plus a monthly car allowance of $500. The agreement had a one-year term, which we could extend subject to the approval of the president and chief executive officer and the audit committee. Mr. Lasanta’s employment agreement has a non-competition provision pursuant to which he agrees that during the term of the agreement and for one year thereafter, Mr. Lasanta will not, directly or indirectly, engage in a competing business or solicit any customer or seek to persuade any customer to reduce the amount of business it does with us or seek to persuade any employee to leave our employ.

On December 17, 2008, we entered into an amendment to the employment agreement with Pedro Lasanta pursuant to which the term of the contract was extended indefinitely.  The amended employment agreement provides that we will pay Mr. Lasanta an annual salary of $110,000 and an annual bonus in cash or Company stock options to be granted based on performance metrics to be established.  Pursuant to the amended employment agreement, we will grant Mr. Lasanta options to purchase 30,000 shares of Company stock having an exercise price equal to fair market value on the date of grant and vesting in three equal annual installments beginning one year from November 1, 2008.  In addition, upon termination of Mr. Lasanta’s employment for reasons other than those set forth in his amended employment agreement, Mr. Lasanta will receive a lump-sum severance payment in an amount equivalent to six months of his salary at the time of the termination, less legal withholdings, or the severance established by PR labor law No. 80 of May 30, 1976 known as the “Wrongful Discharge Act” (“Ley de Despido Injustificado”), whichever amount is higher.  All other terms and conditions of Mr. Lasanta’s employment agreement remain the same.

2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan

In October 2005, our board of directors adopted, and in April 2006, our stockholders approved, the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, covering 2,500,000 shares of common stock. The 2005 plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified options, stock grants, stock appreciation rights and other equity-based incentives to employees, including officers, and consultants. The 2005 Plan is to be administered by a committee of independent directors. In the absence of a committee, the plan is administered by the board of directors. Independent directors are not eligible for discretionary options. However, each newly elected independent director receives at the time of his or her election, a five-year option to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock at the market price on the date of his or her election. In addition, the plan provided for the annual grant of an option to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock on the first trading day of January of each year, commencing January 2007; however, on April 19, 2007, the stockholders amended the plan to increase the number of options granted to its independent directors annually from 5,000 to 10,000 shares of common stock. On April 19, 2007, the stockholders also amended the plan to provide for a grant to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock at the market price to each advisory board member on the date of his or her election and a grant of 5,000 options to each of them annually. The options to directors have a term of five years and become exercisable cumulatively as to 50% of the shares subject to the option six months from the date of grant and, as to the remaining 50%, 18 months from the date of grant. Pursuant to this provision, on January 25, 2006, options to purchase 25,000 shares at $0.7344 per share, being the fair market value on the date of grant, were automatically granted to our independent directors Messrs. Kirk Michel, Howard Spindel and Irving Wiesen.  As authorized under the 2005 Plan as amended, in addition to the options granted at the date of the independent directors election, we made options grants on January 3, 2007, April 19, 2007, January 2, 2008 and January 2, 2009 in the amount of 5,000, 5,000, 10,000 and 10,000 options to each independent director, respectively. The exercise price of the options granted on January 3, 2007, April 17,2007, January 2, 2008 and January 2, 2009 was $0.75, $0.65, $0.74 and $0.50 per share, respectively. On January 10, 2008 the board of directors granted a discretionary 10,000 stock options award with an exercise price of $0.698 per share to Dov Perlysky, a non independent board of directors’ member Except for the exercise price, these option grants have the same terms as the options granted to our independent directors on January 26, 2006.

5

Options intended to be incentive stock options must be granted at an exercise price per share which is not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and may have a term which is not longer than ten years. If the option holder holds 10% of our common stock, the exercise price must be at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant and the term of the option cannot exceed five years. As of February 13, 2009, there were outstanding options to purchase 1,4666,772 shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of approximately $0.7047 per share.

Option holders do not recognize taxable income upon the grant of either incentive or non-qualified stock options under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. When employees exercise incentive stock options, they will not recognize taxable income upon exercise of the option, although the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the common stock on the date of exercise is included in income for purposes of computing their alternative minimum tax liability, if any. If certain holding period requirements are met, their gain or loss on a subsequent sale of the stock will be taxed at capital gain rates. Generally, long-term capital gains rates will apply to their full gain at the time of the sale of the stock, provided that they do not dispose of the stock made within two years from the date of grant of the option or within one year after your acquisition of such stock, and the option is exercised while they are employed by us or within three months of the termination of their employment or one year in the event of death or disability, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. Employees who are residents of Puerto Rico are subject to the Puerto Rico Code, which may be different from tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code.

In general, upon the exercise a non-qualified option, the option holder will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price of the option and the fair market value of the shares on the date he or she exercises the option. Subject to certain limitations, we may deduct that amount as an expense for federal income tax purposes. In general, when the holders of shares issued on exercise of a nonqualified stock option sell their shares, any profit or loss is short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, depending upon the holding period for the shares and their basis in the shares will be the fair market value on the date of exercise.

Director Compensation

Effective as of May 6, 2008, we approved a plan to nominally compensate our directors for their attendance at various meetings. Non-employee directors will receive (1) $1,000 for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and (ii) $500 for attendance at each Committee meeting. Pursuant to our 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended (“Plan”), each independent director receives an option to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on the date of his or her election, and, on the first trading day of January in each year thereafter, the independent director receives an option to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Prior to April 2007, the automatic option grant to each independent director had been 5,000 options per year. As described above, Mr. Michel, Spindel and Wiesen are considered “independent directors.”

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

On January 25, 2006, we acquired Pharma-PR from Elizabeth Plaza, as the sole stockholder of Pharma-PR. At the closing, we paid Ms. Plaza $10,000,000 and issued to Ms. Plaza 1,150,000 shares of common stock. In addition, pursuant to agreement Ms. Plaza was entitled to three payments, each in the amount of $2,750,000, on January 25, 2007, 2008 and 2009. As of February 13, 2009, we have made two full payments and a partial payment to Ms. Plaza. During fiscal year 2009, we expect to pay from working capital the remaining balance owed of $500,000 to Ms. Plaza.

San Juan Holdings represented Pharma-PR and Elizabeth Plaza in connection with the reverse acquisition. For such services, we issued 600,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $0.06 per share, to San Juan Holdings. In our private placement of series A preferred stock and warrants, San Juan Holdings purchased three units. The purchase price for the three units was $750,000. The broker, which is an affiliate of San Juan Holdings, waived the commission and the non-accountable expense allowance with respect to such sales, and as a result, San Juan Holdings purchased the three units for a net payment of $652,500. The three units were comprised of 75,000 shares of series A preferred stock and warrants to purchase 510,600 shares of common stock. The shares of series A preferred stock became converted into 1,021,200 shares of common stock. We also issued 919 shares of common stock to San Juan Holdings as a result of our failure to file the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part in a timely manner. We also paid an affiliate of San Juan Holdings a broker’s commission and non-accountable expense allowance of $195,000 for sales made to other purchasers in the private placement, and we issued to the affiliate three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 275,724 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.7344 per share. On July 2008, San Juan Holdings exercised 669,009 of the warrants exercisable at $0.06.

KEMA Advisors, Inc., of which Kirk Michel, a director, is managing director, purchased one unit, consisting of 25,000 shares of series A preferred stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 170,200 shares of common stock for $250,000. The shares of series A preferred stock became converted into 340,400 shares of common stock. We also issued 306 shares of common stock to KEMA Advisors for our failure to file the registration statement in a timely manner.

On July 1, 2008, the Company received certification as a “minority-controlled company” as defined by the National Minority Supplier Development Council and Growth Initiative (“NMSDC”). As part of the certification process, Ms. Plaza agreed to purchase an aggregate of 466,667 warrants from six warrant holders, one of which was San Juan Holdings, at a purchase price of $0.77 per warrant pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated December 12, 2007, as amended, and to immediately exercise the warrants at an exercise price of $.7344 per share, with proceeds to the Company of $342,720.24 per share. Ms. Plaza purchased the warrants from the six warrant holders and exercised the warrants effective as of July 9, 2008. The effective price per share to Ms. Plaza was $1.5044 per share in this transaction.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors

The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent public accountants. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. Horwath and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent public accountants in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The Audit Committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case by case basis. The Audit Committee approved one hundred percent (100%) of all such professional services provided by Horwath during fiscal 2008 and 2007.

The Audit Committee has considered the nature and amount of the fees billed by Horwath, and believes that the provision of the services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining Horwath’s independence.
