The Company incurred greater expenses in the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, as the Company expanded its pre-revenue activities. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, general and administrative expenses are anticipated to be approximately $661,595 and research and development expenses are anticipated to be approximately $401,485. As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 will be approximately $1,065,056, or $.03 per share, compared to a net loss of $776,570, or $.02 per share, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. It should be noted that the Company has relied upon its 2004 Stock Option Plan to compensate consultants and employees who have assisted in developing and executing the Company's business plan. This reliance, together with issuances of stock by the Company in connection with its ongoing private offering of stock and warrants, has significantly narrowed the loss per share in the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, by increasing the total number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding as of such date.
