Note:      Adjusted loss available to common shareholders, defined as loss available to common shareholders adjusted for a one-time charge associated with entering into an agreement to license clofarabine in Japan and stock-based compensation required to be recorded in the statement of operations is a non-U.S. GAAP measure used by management in evaluating the performance of the Company's overall business.  The Company believes that this performance measure contributes to a more complete understanding by investors of the overall results of the Company.  For the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $1,137,752 and $496,571 respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the Company recorded a one-time charge of $3,953,074 recorded as R&D expense relating to the Company signing a Japanese licensing agreement and

 


 

$1,760,247 relating to stock-based compensation. For the six months ended December 31, 2005 the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $978,319.
