Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

The federal securities laws require our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our securities. Due to the complexity of the reporting rules, we have instituted procedures to assist our officers and directors with these obligations. Based solely on our review of the copies of these forms received by us or representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during fiscal 2005 each of our directors, officers and 10% Holders filed all of their respective reports pursuant to Section 16(a) on a timely basis.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors assists the board in fulfilling its oversight responsibility relating to (i) the integrity of our financial statements and financial reporting process; (ii) our systems of internal accounting and financial controls; (iii) the annual independent audit of our financial statements, the engagement of the independent auditors and the evaluation of the independent auditor’s qualifications, independence and performance; and (iv) the fulfillment of other responsibilities set out in its charter. The Audit Committee consists of three directors. In 2005, the Audit Committee consisted of Messrs. Easterly, Jackson and Seamons. Messrs. Easterly, Jackson and Seamons are independent as defined in the NASD’s listing standards and meet the independence criteria set forth in the rules of the SEC. Our Board of Directors has determined that one member of the Audit Committee, Mr. Seamons, is an Audit Committee financial expert as defined in the SEC’s regulations.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and senior financial officers and a Code of Conduct and Ethics that applies to all employees, directors and officers. The Code of Ethics and the Code of Conduct and Ethics were filed with our 10-K on March 30, 2004, a copy of which can be obtained at www.ipix.com. The Code of Ethics may be waived for any covered person only by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has no present intention to permit any waiver of the Code of Ethics or the Code of Conduct and Ethics for any covered person.

Employment and Separation Agreements

We have an employment agreement with Clara M. Conti in order to assure her continued service. Mr. Crew and Ms. Brand no longer serve as executive of IPIX and have entered into the severance agreements described below.

Clara M. Conti. IPIX entered into an employment agreement with Ms. Conti effective as of September 16, 2004 which contains the terms of Ms. Conti’s employment with IPIX. The employment agreement provides that Ms. Conti will serve as president and Chief Executive Officer of IPIX until such time as either IPIX or Ms. Conti terminates the employment agreement. The employment agreement provides that Ms. Conti will receive a base salary of $275,000 per year and will be entitled to such bonus as the Board may determine. We may terminate Ms. Conti’s employment agreement with or without cause; however, if we terminate the agreement without cause, or if Ms. Conti resigns for good reason, she is entitled to a severance payment equal to six (6) months of her annual base salary. In the event Ms. Conti is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason within two (2) years of a change of control, Ms. Conti is entitled to payment of six (6) months of her annual salary within ten (10) days of the change of control.

Charles A. Crew. Mr. Crew resigned as CFO of the Company effective April 1, 2006. On February 27, 2006, the Company entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Crew. Under the Separation Agreement, the Company paid Mr. Crew's base salary, vacation time, travel and business expense incurred or accrued through April 1, 2006. The Company also paid total bonus compensation to Mr. Crew of $20,000 for the fourth quarter of 2005 and first quarter of 2006 as provided in Mr. Crew's employment agreement. In addition, the Company paid Mr. Crew a severance payment of $200,000.

Additionally, pursuant to a letter agreement dated March 29, 2005, Ms. Brand received a bonus in an amount equal to (i) $20,000 in consideration of the successful completion of the Company's ongoing Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance implementation project and (ii) $60,000 for the successful completion of Ms. Brand's service as Chief Financial Officer.
 
Director Compensation

Directors do not receive cash compensation for their service as members of the Board of Directors, although they are reimbursed for expenses in connection with attendance at board and committee meetings.

Additional compensation is not provided for committee participation or special assignments of the Board of Directors. Each of our outside directors received an option to purchase 27,500 shares of our common stock in 2001, an option to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock in 2003 and an option to purchase 80,000 shares of our common stock in 2005. We did not grant options to our directors in 2002 or 2004. The exercise price of the options is the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, and each option has a term of ten years and becomes exercisable within two years. From time to time, our directors may receive additional grants of options to purchase common stock.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Messrs. Easterly, Hunt, Seamons and Wilds served during fiscal year 2005 as members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. None of these persons are or have been an officer or employee of ours. None of our executive officers have served as a director or member of the Compensation Committee of any other entity whose executive officers served on our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation

The following is a report of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors describing the compensation policies applicable to our executive officers during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing and monitoring our general compensation policies and compensation plans, as well as the specific compensation levels for executive officers. It also makes recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning the granting of awards under our stock plans.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the process utilized by the Compensation Committee in determining executive compensation levels was based on competitive salary survey data previously obtained from Watson Wyatt, an independent compensation consulting firm and the subjective judgment of the Compensation Committee. Among the factors considered by the Compensation Committee were the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer with respect to the compensation of our key executive officers. However, the Compensation Committee made the final compensation decisions concerning those officers.

General Compensation Policy

Our compensation policy is designed to attract and retain qualified key executives critical to our growth and long-term success. It is the objective of the board to have a portion of each executive’s compensation contingent upon our financial performance as well as upon the individual’s personal performance. Accordingly, each executive officer’s compensation package is comprised of three elements: (i) base salary which reflects individual performance and expertise, (ii) variable bonus awards payable in cash and tied to the achievement of certain performance goals that the board establishes from time to time and (iii) long-term stock-based incentive awards which are designed to strengthen the mutuality of interests between the executive officers and our stockholders.

The summary below describes in more detail the factors which we consider in establishing each of the three primary components of the compensation package provided to the executive officers.

5

Base Salary

The level of base salary is established primarily on the basis of the individual’s qualifications and relevant experience, the strategic goals for which he or she has responsibility, the compensation levels at companies which compete with us for business and executive talent and the incentives necessary to attract and retain qualified management. Base salary may be adjusted each year to take into account the individual’s performance and to maintain a competitive salary structure.

Cash-Based Incentive Compensation

Cash bonuses are awarded to executive officers based upon a performance based plan measured by their success in achieving designated individual goals and our success in achieving specific Company-wide goals, such as revenue growth, revenue diversification, earnings growth, expense reduction and improved gross margins.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

We have utilized our stock option plans to provide executives and other key employees with incentives to maximize long-term stockholder value. Awards under these plans take the form of stock options, restricted stock awards and stock purchase rights designed to give the recipient a significant equity stake in the Company and thereby closely align his or her interests with those of our stockholders. Factors considered in making such awards include the individual’s position, his or her performance and responsibilities as well as industry practices and standards. Long-term incentives granted in prior years and existing level of stock ownership are also taken into consideration.

Each option grant allows the executive officer to acquire shares of common stock at a fixed price per share (the fair market value on the date of grant) over a specified period of time (up to 10 years). The number of awards granted to individual executives is based on demonstrated performance and independent survey data reflecting competitive market practice. Accordingly, the award grant will provide a return to the executive officer only if he or she remains in our service, and then only if the market price of the common stock appreciates over the award term.

Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer

Clara M. Conti was appointed our Chief Executive Officer in October 2004. The Compensation Committee determined Ms. Conti’s base salary after evaluating a number of factors, including Ms. Conti’s previous salary, salaries of chief executive officers of other public companies of similar size in the industry and Ms. Conti’s performance in general. Ms. Conti’s base salary in 2005 was $275,000. We did not pay Ms. Conti any cash bonuses in 2005. Her 2005 Compensation did include the cost of certain corporate apparel used at trade shows.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee has considered the impact of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code adopted under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, which section disallows a deduction for any publicly held corporation for individual compensation exceeding $1 million in any taxable year for the Chief Executive Officer and four other most highly compensated executive officers, respectively, unless such compensation meets the requirements for the “performance-based” exception to Section 162(m). As the cash compensation paid by us to each of our executive officers is expected to be below $1 million and the Compensation Committee believes that options granted under our stock option plans to these officers will meet the requirements for qualifying as performance-based, the Compensation Committee believes that Section 162(m) will not affect the tax deductions available to us with respect to the compensation of our executive officers. It is the Compensation Committee’s policy to qualify, to the extent reasonable, our executive officers’ compensation for deductibility under applicable tax law. However, we may from time to time pay compensation to our executive officers that may not be deductible.

Compensation Committee,

Michael D. Easterly
James H. Hunt
Andrew P. Seamons
David M. Wilds

Engagement Policies
 
The Audit Committee has adopted a policy for the pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services provided by our independent auditor. Under this policy, any audit or non-audit service performed by the independent auditor must receive either specific or general pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Specific pre-approval is the action whereby the Audit Committee explicitly pre-approves the engagement of the independent auditor to perform specific audit or non-audit services. General pre-approval entails the pre-approval of the engagement of the independent auditor to perform services pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the Audit Committee that are detailed as to the specific types of services so pre-approved. Any service performed by the independent auditor that exceeds its pre-approved fee level must receive specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. All of the services provided by PWC and AM during 2005 were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to this policy.
