(1) A restriction requirement was issued on March 18, 2008. A response needed to be filed by September 18, 2008, or the application would lapse. AcquiSci intends to abandon this application in favor of co-pending U.S. application Serial No. 10/963,139.
(2) A restriction requirement was issued January 24, 2008. A response was filed on June 24, 2008, and the application is in good standing.
(3) An office action was issued on April 8, 2008. A response was filed on July 23, 2008, and the application is in good standing.
(4) A provisional application allows an inventor to file and obtain patent pending status without setting forth any formal patent claims. It provides the means to establish an early effective filing date in a later-filed non-provisional patent application. A provisional application will expire if a non-provisional patent application is not filed within one year following the filing date of the provisional application.
(5) Pending patent applications 10/910,439, 10/910,485, 10/963,139, and 10/963,477 claim the benefit of earlier-filed U.S. provisional application Serial No. 60/491,997, filed July 31, 2003, and U.S. provisional application Serial No. 60/553,774, filed March 17, 2004.

Mr. Latino is a co-inventor of the Companys technology. In addition, Ms. Sharkus is the majority owner and controlling party of Acquis Associates, and Mr. Latino is the majority owner and controlling party of Geribald Investments.
B.
Disposition of LipidViro Utah.
On September 30, 2008, following the completion of the Technology disposition, the Company executed a Bill of Sale by which it assigned to Benedente Holdings, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, 9,843,750 shares of
common stock of LipidViro Utah (the Shares), which Shares constituted all of the issued and outstanding shares of LipidViro Utah common stock. Benedente is controlled by Steven Keyser, who is a director of the Company.
The transfer of the LipidViro Utah shares to Benedente was made subject to Benedentes full performance of its obligations under a Subsidiary Disposition Agreement, dated April 2, 2008, between the parties (the Agreement). Under the Agreement, Benedente agreed to cancel the Companys outstanding debt in favor of Benedente in the principal amount of $719,885 (the Benedente Loans), and the Companys promissory note in favor of Lombard Inc. in the principal amount of $600,000 (the Lombard Note), which has been assigned to Benedente, including all outstanding principal and interest on both Notes, and to use its best efforts to negotiate the settlement of an additional $413,782.54 in Company indebtedness (the Indebtedness).
The Benedente Loans constituted a series of cash advances to the Company pursuant to two Loan Agreements that were entered into in April, 2006, and April, 2007, respectively. The Benedente Loans bear interest at 6% per year. As of March 31, 2008, the Company owed Benedente $447,542.16 in principal and $56,348.10 in interest on the Benedente Loans. The Company executed the Lombard Note on September 30, 2005, as consideration for its purchase of 7,878,000 shares of Company common stock from Lombard pursuant to a Securities Purchase Option Agreement executed by the parties on April 18, 2005. The Lombard Note bears simple interest at the rate of 5% per year. As of March 31, 2008, the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Lombard Note totaled $600,000 and $75,021, respectively.
The Indebtedness includes the above-referenced $255,000 in debt owed to Ms. Sharkus and Geribald Investments, as well as an aggregate of $158,782.54 in indebtedness to 18 additional creditors, including Brigham Young University; the Companys patent law firm; equipment suppliers; investor relations firm; accountant; transfer agent and other trade creditors for indebtedness incurred in furtherance of the Companys business plan over a period of approximately two years.
Benedente further agreed to indemnify the Company against any and all liabilities of LipidViro outstanding as of March 31, 2008, at law or in equity, regardless of legal theory, including but not limited to: (i) all claims relating to the Indebtedness and/or the Notes; (ii) any claims for pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, court costs and attorneys fees; and (iii) any claims based on the theory of fraudulent transfer or any similar theory as it relates to the sale of the Technology and/or the disposition of LipidViro Utah.
The Companys transfer to Benedente of its shares of LipidViro Utah was made subject to: (i) the prior sale of the Technology; and (ii) compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Following the transfer of a controlling interest in LipidViro Utah to Benedente, any of the Indebtedness that is attributable to LipidViro Utah and that Benedente is not able to settle in full, will not be attributable to the Company.
On April 2, 2008, both the transfer of the Technology and the transfer of the LipidViro Utah shares were approved by joint consent of the Companys Board of Directors and its majority stockholders. On July 18, 2008, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a definitive information statement with respect to these matters.
