Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

Upon consummation of the IPO on April 2, 2012, prior to the automatic conversion of the convertible preferred stock warrant into a common stock warrant, itthe estimated fair value was remeasured and the change in fair value was recorded as a non-cash charge in other income (expense), net and the related liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Net Income Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net income per share of common stock is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share of common stock is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potential common shares included those underlying our convertible preferred stock (using the if-converted method), stock options to purchase our common stock and restricted stock units (using the treasury stock method) and the warrant to purchase our common stock (using the treasury stock method). Performance share units were excluded from potential common shares since no shares were issuable as of JuneSeptember 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012. The performance share units vest based on achievement of specified percentage of targeted cumulative compounded earnings per share growth rate during the three-year period beginning April 1, 2012 and ending March 31, 2015.

The potential common shares from the convertible preferred stock warrant had an anti-dilutive effect on the earnings per share for the six months ended September 30, 2011, and the potential common shares from convertible preferred stock had an anti-dilutive effect on the earnings per share for the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, and, accordingly, were excluded from the calculation. Additionally, certain stock options to purchase our common stock had an anti-dilutive effect on the earnings per share for the periods presented, and were also excluded. Further, certain restricted stock units had an anti-dilutive effect on the earnings per share for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 and were excluded.

Net income attributable to common stockholders during the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, was allocated using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation method for calculating earnings per share when a company’s capital structure includes two or more classes of common stock or common stock and participating securities. Under this method, the Company reduced income from operations by the dividends paid to convertible preferred stockholders and the rights of the convertible preferred stockholders to participate in undistributed earnings. The undistributed earnings were allocated based on the relative percentage of weighted average shares of outstanding convertible preferred stock to the total number of weighted average shares of outstanding common and convertible preferred stock.

However, during the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company did not allocate earnings using the two-class method because the earnings attributable to convertible preferred stockholders, prior to their conversion into common stockholders on April 2, 2012, were deemed not material.

Out-of-period Adjustment

During the first quarter of the prior fiscal year,six months ended September 30, 2011, the Company corrected an error in the measurement of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability. The correction increased the fair value of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability by $0.9 million and decreased additional paid-in capital by $0.4 million with a corresponding increase in expense of $0.5 million, which was recorded in other income (expense), net in the accompanying statement of operations during the threesix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011. The correction was an accumulation of an error that should have been recorded in prior periods and would have increased net loss for fiscal 2009 by $44,000, increased net income by $79,000 for

fiscal 2010 and decreased net income by $0.6 million for fiscal 2011. Management had assessed the impact of this error and did not believe that it was material, either individually or in the aggregate, to any prior period financial statements or to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2012.

7.Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant

In connection with a prior term loan, the Company had issued a warrant to Hercules Technology II, L.P. (“Hercules”) for the purchase of 80,560The outstanding shares of Series A 2005 Convertible Preferred Stock at an exercise priceconvertible preferred stock, immediately prior to the closing of $8.07 per share. The warrant was immediately exercisable on the date of issuance and was scheduled to expire at the earlier of five years from a qualifying IPO of the Company’s common stock or April 1, 2018. Upon the consummation of the Company’s IPO on April 2, 2012, the warrant became a warrant to purchase 80,560 shares of our common stock and the related convertible preferred stock warrant liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital. On April 12, 2012, Hercules exercised the warrant to purchase 80,560 shares of our common stock by surrendering 17,367 shares to pay for the exercise. As a result, the Company issued Hercules 63,193were automatically converted into 15,221,571 shares of common stock.

As of April 2, 2012, During the Company measured the fair value of the outstanding convertible preferred stock warrant using an option pricing method with several possible distribution outcomes depending on the timingthree and kind of liquidity event utilizing the following assumptions:

Remaining contractual life (in years)

0.03

Risk-free interest rate

2.2

Expected volatility

41

Expected dividend rate

0

Remaining Contractual Life. The Company derived the remaining contractual life based on the remaining term through actual exercise on April 12, 2012.

Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate was based upon U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term of the warrant.

Volatility. Since prior to the IPO the Company was a private entity with no historical data regarding the volatility of its preferred stock, the expected volatility used was based upon the volatility of a group of similar entities, referred to as “guideline” companies. In evaluating similarity, the Company considered factors such as industry, stage of life cycle and size.

Dividend Yield. Although the Company in the past declared dividends, no future dividends are expected to be available to benefit the warrant holder, and, accordingly, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero in the valuation model.

10.11.Income Taxes

We recognized income tax expense of $1.4$2.6 million and $4.0 million for the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012, compared to $1.0$2.5 million and $3.4 million in the same periodperiods last year. The estimated effective tax rate was 40.9%40.6% for the threesix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012, compared to 34.9%38.7% in the same period last year. The effective tax rate is based on a projection of our annual fiscal year results. Our effective tax rate for the threesix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012 was higher than the effective tax rate for the threesix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011 largely due to a tax benefit recorded during the threesix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011 related to an increase in the tax rate applied for deferred tax assets due to an increase in the federal and state tax rates.

In addition, during the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012, we recognized $11.8$2.3 million and $14.1 million of tax deductions associated with stock option exercises. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2012, $11.4$2.1 million and $13.5 million of these tax deductions are considered “excess” stock compensation related deductions, resulting in a reduction in taxes payable of $1.3$3.8 million, recording a tax refund receivable of $2.9$1.4 million, with a corresponding increase in additional paid in capital of $4.2$5.3 million. We will recognize the remaining $0.4$0.2 million of stock compensation related deductions as a reduction in taxes payable in future periods as we generate state taxable income.

(unaudited)

The Company files consolidated tax returns for federal income taxes as well as for state income taxes in various state jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities. These audits include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal, state and local tax laws. The Company is potentially subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations for years 2005 and beyond.

The Company does not have any unrecognized tax positions as of JuneSeptember 30, 2012 that if recognized would affect the annual effective tax rate. No interest or penalties have been accrued for any period presented. Based on the Company’s assessment, including past experience and complex judgments about future events, the Company does not expect that changes in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months will have a significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.

You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

Annie’s, Inc. is a rapidly growing natural and organic food company with a widely recognized brand, offering consumers great-tasting products in large packaged foods categories. We sell premium products made from high-quality ingredients at affordable prices. We have the #1 natural and organic market position in four product lines: macaroni and cheese, snack crackers, fruit snacks and graham crackers.

Our loyal and growing consumer following has enabled us to migrate from our natural and organic roots to a brand sold across the mainstream grocery, mass merchandiser and natural retailer channels. We offer over 125 products and are present in over 25,000 retail locations in the United States and Canada.

Our net sales are derived primarily from the sale of meals, snacks, dressings, condiments and other products under the Annie’s Homegrown and Annie’s Naturals brand names. We have experienced strong growth, driven by our meals and snacks categories, resulting from our focus on supporting our best-selling items and the introduction of new products in these categories. We have reduced our offerings in our dressings and condiments product lines and discontinued our cereal product line in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, which has resulted in nolow or negative growth in that category. However, excluding our cereal product line, the dressings, condiments and other category grew modestly. Sales are reported net of estimated sales and promotion incentives, slotting, customer discounts and spoils.

Gross profit is net of cost of sales, which consists of the costs of ingredients in the manufacture of products, contract manufacturing fees, packaging costs and in-bound freight charges. Ingredients account for the largest portion of the cost of sales followed by contract manufacturing fees and packaging.

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of marketing and advertising expenses, freight and warehousing, wages, related payroll and employee benefit expenses, including stock-based compensation, commissions to outside sales representatives, legal and professional fees, travel expenses, other facility related costs, such as rent and depreciation, and consulting expenses. The primary components of our marketing and advertising expenses include trade advertising, samples, consumer events, sales data, consumer research and search engine and digital advertising.

Trends and Other Factors Affecting Our Business

Net sales growth continues to be driven by increased penetration of mainstream grocery and mass merchandiser channels, product innovation, increased brand awareness and greater consumer demand for natural and organic food products. In the second half of fiscaltwelve months ended September 30, 2012, through our first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”), we have experienced acceleration in consumer trends for many of our products. We also have benefited from improved placement in the mainstream grocery channel, which we believe has resulted in increased sales of our products. Our net sales growth has been primarily driven by volume; however, we have demonstrated the ability to execute price increases as needed to maintain margins, driven by our strong brand loyalty and perceived value relative to the competition.

We purchase finished products from independent contract manufacturers. We have long standing, strategic relationships with many of our contract manufacturers and suppliers of organic ingredients. We enter either directly or through contract manufacturers into purchase commitmentsforward pricing contracts with certain suppliers for key ingredients that represent approximately half our cost of goods sold.ingredient suppliers. This practice provides us with significant visibility into our cost structure over the next six to twelve months. In fiscal 2012, our contracted ingredients represented approximately 48% of our material costs and 25% of our cost of sales. Over the past 18 months, we have experienced increased costs for many of our inputs and expect these higher costs to continue throughout the remainder of our fiscal 2013.year ending March 31, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”). We have been successful in maintainingstrive to maintain or improvingimprove gross margins despite the increasing commodity cost environmentcosts through a combination of cost management and price increases. We actively manage our input and production costs through a combination of commodity management practices, vendor negotiation, productivity improvements and cost reductions in our supply chain. We invest significant time and effort to achieve permanent cost reductions in our supply chain. To drive these initiatives, we have begun to selectively invest capital in equipment located at our contract manufacturers to drive down costs, improve throughput and improve product quality.

Selling, general and administrative expenses have increased as a result of the investment we have made in building our organization and adding headcount to support our growth and operating as a public company. Many of our selling, general and administrative expenses are variable with volume including freight and warehouse expenses and commissions paid to our sales brokers. In addition, we continue to make investments in marketing to drive trial of our products and promote awareness of our brand and in research and development to support our robust innovation pipeline. Starting in fiscal 2012, we incurred incremental expense related to getting ready to operate as a public company. We expect to incur approximately $2 million in incremental expense annually related to being a public company.

Effective tax rate

   40.5  40.4   

Our effective tax rate was 40.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to 40.4% in the same period last year. The effective tax rate is based on a projection of our annual fiscal year results. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was higher than the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 largely due to a tax benefit recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2011 related to an increase in the tax rate applied for deferred tax assets due to an increase in the federal and state tax rates.

In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized $2.3 million of tax deductions associated with stock option exercises. As of September 30, 2012, $2.1 million of these tax deductions are considered “excess” stock compensation related deductions, resulting in a reduction in taxes payable of $3.8 million, recording a tax refund receivable of $1.4 million, with a corresponding increase in additional paid in capital of $5.3 million. We will recognize the remaining $0.2 million of stock compensation related deductions as a reduction in taxes payable in future periods as we generate state taxable income.

Net sales increased $13.5 million, or 20.0%, to $81.0 million during the six months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $67.5 million during the six months ended September 30, 2011. This increase reflects an increase in net sales of meals and snacks of $9.3 million and $4.4 million, respectively, offset by a slight decrease in dressings, condiments and other of $0.2 million. The increase in meals was predominantly driven by strong growth in the macaroni and cheese product line with a benefit from organic and made with organic frozen pizza products. Organic frozen pizza first shipped in January 2012 and made with organic pizza first shipped this quarter. The increase in snacks was primarily due to growth in our fruit snacks, grahams, crackers and snack mix product lines. The slight decrease in dressings, condiments and other was attributable to the discontinuation of our cereal product line. Excluding our cereal product line, the dressings, condiments and other category grew modestly. Distribution gains

and our mainline placement initiatives also contributed to net sales growth, primarily in the mainstream grocery channel. The net sales increase was primarily driven by volume with slightly higher average selling prices adding modest growth.

This increase was due primarily to an increase in payroll expense resulting from increased headcount to support our growth and operatingoperations as a public company. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2012, we made additional investments in

research and development to support our innovation pipeline compared with the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Further, during the six months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred $0.7 million including legal, accounting and printing costs and various other fees associated with the registration and sale of common stock in the secondary public offering by certain stockholders including Solera. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 0.82.7 percentage points to 29.8%26.9% during the threesix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012 from 29.0%24.2% during the threesix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011.

Seasonality

Historically, we have experienced greater net sales in the second and fourth fiscal quarters than in the first and third fiscal quarters due to our customers’ merchandising and promotional activities around the back-to-school and spring seasons. Concurrently, inventory levels and working capital requirements increase during the first and third fiscal quarters of each fiscal year to support higher levels of net sales in the subsequent quarters. We anticipate that this seasonal impact on our net sales and working capital is likely to continue. Accordingly, our results of operations for any particular quarter are not indicative of the results we expect for the full year.

We believe that our cash and accounts receivable and potential cash flows from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our currently anticipated cash requirements through at least the next twelve months. We have historically generated cash from our operations, however, there can be no assurance that our operations will continue to generate cash flows in the future. We use cash generated from our operations to fund our ongoing operations including business expansion and growth.

Credit Facility

In December 2011, we entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., which provides for revolving loans and letters of credit up to $20.0 million and is available to us through August 2014. The Credit Agreement is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets.

Revolving advances under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the LIBOR plus 1.50%, as defined. Weighted average interest was 1.5% for each of the three and six months ended September 30, 2012. Weighted average interest was 1.8% and 2.2% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. As of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, there was $20.0 million and $7.2 million, respectively, of availability for borrowings under the Credit Agreement. An unused line fee of 0.0625% per quarter is applied to the available balance unless our outstanding borrowing exceeds half of the borrowing limit. Interest is payable monthly.

There are various financial and other covenants under the Credit Agreement. Financial covenants, as defined in the Credit Agreement, include a net income covenant, total liabilities to tangible net worth covenant and a minimum fixed charge coverage covenant. The Credit Agreement requires us to submit interim and annual financial statements by specified dates after each reporting period. We were in compliance with the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2012.

(1)We lease approximately 33,500 square feet of space that houses our corporate headquarters and a sample warehouse at 1610 Fifth Street, Berkeley, California pursuant to a lease agreement that expires in February 2016. Our lease has escalating rent provisions over2016 (the “Lease”). On September 25, 2012, we entered into an amendment (the “Lease Amendment”) to the initial term and set rental ratesLease for two option terms through February 2021 based on a percentagereconfiguration of the then fair market rental rate. We are working on reconfiguring approximately 6,5006,700 square feet from the sample storage area to additional office space to accommodate our growth. The amendment also provided us with, among other things, an option to extend the initial term of the lease for three years (the “First Option”) followed by a second option to extend the lease for an additional two years (the “Second Option” and, together with the First Option, the “Option Periods”). The terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, as amended, will continue to govern the Options Periods, except that the applicable monthly rent for the Option Periods will be equal to 95% of the fair market rental rate for the property, however, the monthly rent payable during the Option Periods will not be less than the monthly rent payable during the immediately preceding month of the initial term or First Option period, as applicable. The landlord is required to deliver to us a notice of the fair market rental rate for the property no later than August 1, 2015. If we do not agree with the proposed fair market rental rate, then the term of the lease will expire at the end of the initial term in February 2016. In such event, we will have to reimburse to the landlord, an amount not to exceed 40% of the total tenant improvement allowance plus interest, as determined in accordance with the Lease. Concurrently with the execution of the Lease Amendment, we exercised the First Option to extend the initial lease for an additional three years to February 2019.
(2)We lease equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. These leases expire at various dates through 2016, excluding extensions at our option, and contain provisions for rental adjustments.2015.
(3)We have non-cancelable purchase commitments, directly or through contract manufacturers, to purchase ingredients to be used in the future to manufacture products.
(4)We have an agreement with our contract warehousing company to pay minimum overhead fees through June 2015.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or any holdings in variable interest entities.

Out-of-period Adjustment

During the first quartersix months of the prior fiscal year, we corrected an error in theour measurement of ourthe convertible preferred stock warrant liability. The correction increased the fair value of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability by $0.9 million and decreased additional paid-in capital by $0.4 million with a corresponding increase in expense of $0.5 million, which was recorded in other income (expense), net in the statement of operations during the threesix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011. The correction was an accumulation of an error that should have been recorded in prior periods and would have increased net loss for fiscal 2009 by $44,000, increased net income by $79,000 for fiscal 2010 and decreased net income by $0.6 million for fiscal 2011. Management had assessed the impact of this error and did not believe that it was material, either individually or in the aggregate, to any prior period financial statements or to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2012.

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our Form 10-K for fiscal 2012, filed with the SEC on June 8, 2012, provides a detailed discussion of the market risks affecting our operations. We believe our exposure to these market risks did not change materially during the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Our management, including our disclosure committee, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.Act. Based on this review, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of JuneSeptember 30, 2012.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were noDuring the three months ended September 30, 2012, we made changes into our internal control over financial reporting identified(as defined in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Those changes were the installation of an integrated enterprise resource planning system to replace our legacy system.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Dividend Policy

No cash dividends were paid during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Although we have paid cash dividends on our capital stock from time to time in the past, we currently expect to retain all future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The declaration and payment of any dividends in the future will be determined by our board of directors, in its discretion, and will depend on a number of factors, including our earnings, capital requirements, overall financial condition and contractual restrictions, including under our revolving credit facility and other indebtedness we may incur.

Use of Proceeds from Public Offering of Common Stock

On April 2, 2012, we closed our IPO, in which we sold 950,000 shares and certain stockholders sold 4,800,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $19.00 per share. The aggregate amount of consideration for shares sold in the offering was $109.3 million. The shares sold by such stockholders included 750,000 additional shares purchased by the underwriters from certain of these stockholders pursuant to an option the underwriters held to cover overallotments of shares. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the stockholders.

The offer and sale of all of the shares in the IPO were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-178270), which was declared effective by the SEC on March 27, 2012. The offering commenced as of March 28, 2012 and did not terminate before all of the securities registered in the registration statement were sold. Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, J. P. Morgan Securities LLC, William Blair & Company, LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and Canaccord Genuity, Inc., acted as the underwriters. We raised $11.1 million in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.3 million and other offering expenses of $5.6 million.

We used $1.3 million of the net proceeds to pay Solera in connection with the termination of its advisory services agreement with us and the remaining balance of the net proceeds was used to repay a portion of our indebtedness outstanding under our credit facility. No other payments were made by us to directors, officers or persons owning ten percent or more of our common stock or to their associates, or to our affiliates, other than payments in the ordinary course of business to officers for salaries and to non-employee directors as compensation for board or board committee service.

As of JulyOctober 15, 2012, options to purchase an aggregate of 992,053929,915 shares and 161,122 shares of our common stock remain outstanding under the 2004 Plan and non-plan based awards, respectively.
