NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Basis of Financial Statement
Presentation
The accompanying condensed financial
statements of the Company have been prepared by the Company, without audit,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. These condensed financial statements reflect all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the
opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the results of operations
of the Company for the periods presented. These condensed financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31,
2007. The results of operations for the nine months ended September
30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.
Going
Concern
The accompanying financial statements
have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization
of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business. Historically, the Company has not demonstrated the ability
to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to satisfy its liabilities and
sustain operations, and the Company has incurred significant
losses. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s continuation as a going
concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient income and cash flow
to meet its obligations on a timely basis and/or obtain additional financing as
may be required. The Company is actively seeking options to obtain
additional capital and financing.
In addition, the Company has taken
significant steps to reduce costs and increase operating
efficiencies. Specifically, the Company has significantly reduced the
use of consultants, which has resulted in a large decrease in
expenses. In addition, the Company has reduced the number of its
direct sales representatives, which has resulted in less payroll, travel and
other expenses. Although these cost savings have significantly
reduced the Company’s losses and ongoing cash flow needs, if the Company is
unable to obtain equity or debt financing, it may be unable to continue
development of its products and may be required to substantially curtail or
cease operations.
Net Loss Per
Share
Net loss per common share is computed
on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding during each period. Common stock equivalents consist of convertible
preferred stock, common stock options and warrants. Common Stock equivalent
shares are excluded from the computation when their effect is anti-dilutive.
Other common stock equivalents consisting of options and warrants to purchase
75,294,392 and 50,534,392 shares of common stock and preferred stock convertible
into 612,497 and 858,688 shares of common stock, and outstanding commitments to
issue shares underlying the convertible notes into 91,647,332,444 and 2,831,785,246
shares of common stock at September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, have not
been included in loss periods because their inclusion would have been
anti-dilutive. For the three month period ended September 30, 2007,
there were 51,393,080 common stock equivalents included in the dilutive earnings
per share.

Convertible
Notes
April 27, 2005 Sale of $2,500,000 in
Convertible Notes. To obtain funding for the Company's ongoing
operations, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with four
accredited investors on April 27, 2005 for the sale of (i) $2,500,000 in
convertible notes and (ii) warrants to purchase 16,534,392 shares of its common
stock. The sale of the convertible notes and warrants is to occur in three
traunches and the investors provided the Company with an aggregate of$2,500,000
as follows:
|
•
|
$850,000
was disbursed on April 27, 2005;
|
|
•
|
$800,000
was disbursed on June 23, 2005 after the Company filed a registration
statement on June 22, 2005 to register the shares of common stock issuable
upon conversion of the convertible notes and exercise of warrants;
and
|
|
• |
$850,000
was disbursed on June 30, 2005, the effective date of the registration
statement. |
Under the
terms of the securities purchase agreement, the Company agreed it would not,
without the prior written consent of a majority-in-interest of the investors,
negotiate or contract with any party to obtain additional equity financing
(including debt financing with an equity component) that involves (i) the
issuance of common stock at a discount to the market price of the common stock
on the date of issuance (taking into account the value of any warrants or
options to acquire common stock in connection therewith), (ii) the issuance of
convertible securities that are convertible into an indeterminate number of
shares of common stock, or (iii) the issuance of warrants during the lock-up
period beginning April 27, 2005 and ending on the later of (a) 270 days from
April 27, 2005, or (b) 180 days from the date the registration statement is
declared effective.
In
addition, the Company agreed not to conduct any equity financing (including debt
financing with an equity component) during the period beginning April 27, 2005
and ending two years after the end of the above lock-up period unless it first
provided each investor an option to purchase its pro rata share (based on the
ratio of each investor's purchase under the securities purchase agreement) of
the securities being offered in any proposed equity financing. Each
investor must be provided written notice describing any proposed
equity financing at least 20 business days prior to the closing of such proposed
equity financing and the option must be extended to each investor during the
15-day period following delivery of such notice.
The
$2,500,000 in convertible notes bear interest at 8% per annum from the date of
issuance. Interest is computed on the basis of a 365-day year and is payable
quarterly in cash, with six months of interest payable up front. The interest
rate resets to zero percent for any month in which the stock price is greater
than 125% of the initial market price, or $.0945, for each trading day during
that month. Any amount of principal or interest on the convertible notes that is
not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of 15% per annum from the date
due thereof until such amount is paid. The notes mature in three
years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into the Company's common
stock at the noteholders' option, at the lower of (i) $.09 or (ii) 60% of the
average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the common stock on the
OTC Bulletin Board for the 20 trading days before but not including the
conversion date. Accordingly, there is no limit on the number of shares into
which the notes may be converted. On June 16, 2008, the Company
agreed to reduce the applicable percentage for calculating the conversion price
from 60% to 45% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices of
the Company's common stock. The Company agreed to this change as a
condition to receiving further funding for its ongoing operations on June 16,
2008.
The
$2,500,000 in convertible notes are secured by the Company's assets, including
the Company's inventory, accounts receivable and intellectual property.
Moreover, the Company has a call option under the terms of the notes. The call
option provides the Company with the right to prepay all of the outstanding
convertible notes at any time, provided there is no event of default by the
Company and the Company's stock is trading at or below $.09 per share. An event
of default includes the failure by the Company to pay the principal or interest
on the notes when due or to timely file a registration statement as required by
the Company or obtain effectiveness with the Securities and Exchange Commission
of the registration statement. Prepayment of the notes is to be made in cash
equal to either (a) 125% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for
prepayments occurring within 30 days following the issue date of the notes; (b)
130% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring
between 31 and 60 days following the issue date of the notes; or (c) 145% of the
outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring after the
60th
day following the issue date of the notes.
The
warrants are exercisable until five years from the date of issuance at a
purchase price of $.20 per share. The investors may exercise the warrants on a
cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the warrants are not
registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. In the event the
investors exercise the warrants on a cashless basis, the Company will not
receive any proceeds therefrom. In addition, the exercise price of the warrants
will be adjusted in the event the Company issues common stock at a price below
market, with the exception of any securities issued as of the date of the
warrants or issued in connection with the callable secured convertible notes
issued pursuant to the securities purchase agreement.
The
noteholders have agreed to restrict their ability to convert their convertible
notes or exercise their warrants and receive shares of the Company's common
stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the
aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed
4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. However, the
noteholders may repeatedly sell shares of common stock in order to reduce their
ownership percentage, and subsequently convert additional convertible
notes.
As of
September 30, 2008, there was an outstanding balance of $1,248,931 in principle
remaining on the convertible notes. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company issued 850,242,558 and 19,116,158
shares of common stock for the conversion of $193,895 and $34,670 of convertible
notes, respectively.
February 28, 2006 Sale of $1,500,000
in Convertible Notes. To obtain additional funding for the Company's
ongoing operations, the Company entered into a second securities purchase
agreement on February 28, 2006 with the same four accredited investors for the
sale of (i) $1,500,000 in convertible notes and (ii) warrants to purchase
12,000,000 shares of its common stock. The sale of the convertible notes and
warrants is to occur in three traunches and the investors are obligated to
provide the Company with an aggregate of $1,500,000 as follows:
|
• |
$500,000
was disbursed on February 28, 2006; |
|
•
|
$500,000
was disbursed on June 28, 2006 after the Company filed a registration
statement on June 15, 2006 to register the shares of common stock
underlying the convertible notes. The registration statement was
subsequently withdrawn on July 25, 2006 and a new registration statement
was filed on September 15, 2006 to register 60,000,000 shares of common
stock issuable upon conversion of the
notes.
|
|
•
|
$500,000
was disbursed on April 30, 2007, the day prior to the effective date of
the registration statement on May
1,2007.

Under the
terms of the securities purchase agreement, the Company also agreed it would
not, without the prior written consent of a majority-in-interest of the
investors, negotiate or contract with any party to obtain additional equity
financing (including debt financing with an equity component) that involves (i)
the issuance of common stock at a discount to the market price of the common
stock on the date of issuance (taking into account the value of any warrants or
options to acquire common stock in connection therewith), (ii) the issuance of
convertible securities that are convertible into an indeterminate number of
shares of common stock, or (iii) the issuance of warrants during the lock-up
period beginning February 28, 2006 and ending on the later of (a) 270 days from
February 28, 2006, or (b) 180 days from the date the registration statement is
declared effective.
In
addition, the Company agreed not to conduct any equity financing (including debt
financing with an equity component) during the period beginning February 28,
2006 and ending two years after the end of the above lock-up period unless it
first provided each investor an option to purchase its pro rata share (based on
the ratio of each investor's purchase under the securities purchase agreement)
of the securities being offered in any proposed equity financing. Each investor
must be provided written notice describing any proposed equity financing at
least 20 business days prior to the closing of such proposed equity financing
and the option must be extended to each investor during the 15-day period
following delivery of such notice.
The
$1,500,000 in convertible notes bear interest at 8% per annum from the date of
issuance. Interest is computed on the basis of a 365-day year and is payable
quarterly in cash, with six months of interest payable up front. The interest

noteholders' option, at the lower of (i) $.02 or (ii) 60% of the average of the
three lowest intraday trading prices for the common stock on the OTC Bulletin
Board for the 20 trading days before but not including the conversion date.
Accordingly, there is no limit on the number of shares into which the notes may
be converted. On June 16, 2008, the Company agreed to reduce the
applicable percentage for calculating the conversion price from 60% to 45% of
the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices of the Company's common

the Company's inventory, accounts receivable and intellectual property.
Moreover, the Company has a call option under the terms of the notes. The call
option provides the Company with the right to prepay all of the outstanding
convertible notes at any time, provided there is no event of default by the
Company and the Company's stock is trading at or below $.02 per share. An event
of default includes the failure by the Company to pay the principal or interest

the securities purchase agreement.
The

notes or exercise their warrants and receive shares of the Company's common
stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the
aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed

with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days of the June 11, 2007
closing date and the effectiveness of the registration is to be within 135days
of such closing date. Penalties of 2% of the outstanding principal balance of
the convertible notes plus accrued interest are to be applied for each month the
registration is not effective within the required time. The penalty may be paid
in cash or stock at the Company's option.
As of
September 30, 2008, there have been no conversions of these convertible
notes. Upon conversion of the convertible notes, the Company
extinguishes the convertible debt and related embedded derivatives and no gain
or loss is recorded on the Company's statements of operations as a result of
said conversion.
December 19, 2007 Issuance of
$389,010 in Callable Convertible Notes: On December 19, 2007, the Company
was notified by the holders of the convertible notes that there was a past due
interest owing on the outstanding convertible notes. The total amount of
interest owed was $389,010. To pay this interest, the noteholders were willing
to accept $389,010 in additional convertible notes due on December 31, 2010.
Accordingly, on December 19, 2007, the Company issued $389,010 in convertible

convertible notes that is not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of
15% per annum from the date due thereof until such amount is paid. The
convertible notes mature in three years from the date of issuance, and are
convertible into the Company's common stock at the noteholders' option, at the
lower of (i) $.02 or (ii) 50% of the average of the three lowest intraday
trading prices for the common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board for the 20 trading
days before but not including the conversion date. Accordingly, there is no
limit on the number of shares into which the notes may be
converted. On June 16, 2008, the Company agreed to reduce the
applicable percentage for calculating the conversion price from 60% to 45% of
the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices of the Company's common
stock. The Company agreed to this change as a condition to receiving
further funding for its ongoing operations on June 16, 2008.
The
$250,000 in convertible notes are secured by the Company's assets, including the
Company's inventory, accounts receivable and intellectual property. Moreover,
the Company has a call option under the terms of the notes. The call option
provides the Company with the right to prepay all of the outstanding convertible
notes at any time, provided there is no event of default by the Company and its
stock is trading at or below $.10 per share. An event of default includes the
failure by the Company to pay the principal or interest on the convertible notes
when due or to timely file a registration statement as required by the Company
or obtain effectiveness with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the
registration statement. Prepayment of the convertible notes is to be made in
cash equal to either (a) 125% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest
for prepayments occurring within 30 days following the issue date of the notes;
(b) 130% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments
occurring between 31 and 60 days following the issue date of the notes; or (c)
145% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring
after the 60th day
following the issue date of the notes.
The
warrants are exercisable until seven years from the date of issuance at a
purchase price of $.001 per share. The investors may exercise the warrants on a
cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the warrants are not
then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. In the event
the investors exercise the warrants on a cashless basis, the Company will not
receive any proceeds therefrom. In addition, the exercise price of the warrants
will be adjusted in the event the Company issues common stock at a price below
market, with the exception of any securities issued as of the date of the
warrants or issued in connection with the convertible notes issued pursuant to
the securities purchase agreement.
The
noteholders have agreed to restrict their ability to convert their convertible
notes or exercise their warrants and receive shares of the Company's common
stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the
aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed
4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. However, the
noteholders may repeatedly sell shares of common stock in order to reduce their
ownership percentage, and subsequently convert additional convertible notes,
provided, however, that such conversions do not exceed $75,000 per calendar
month, or the average daily dollar volume calculated during the ten business
days prior to conversion multiplied by the number of trading days of that
calendar month, per calendar month.
The
Company is required to register the shares of its common stock issuable upon the
conversion of the convertible notes and the exercise of the warrants that were
issued to the noteholders pursuant to the securities purchase agreement the
Company entered in to on December 24, 2007. The registration statement must be
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days of the December
24, 2007 closing date and the effectiveness of the registration is to be within
135 days of such closing date. Penalties of 2% of the outstanding principal
balance of the convertible notes plus accrued interest are to be applied for
each month the registration is not effective within the required time. The
penalty may be paid in cash or stock at the Company's option.
As of
September 30, 2008, there have been no conversions of these convertible
notes. Upon conversion of the convertible notes, the Company
extinguishes the convertible debt and related embedded derivatives and no gain
or loss is recorded on the Company's statements of operations as a result of
said conversion.
June 16, 2008 Sale of $310,000 in
Callable Secured Convertible Notes: To obtain additional
funding for the Company's ongoing operations, the Company entered into a fifth
securities purchase agreement on June 16, 2008 with three accredited investors
for the sale of (i) $310,000 in convertible notes and (ii) warrants to purchase
10,000,000 shares of its common stock. The sale of the convertible
notes and warrants is to occur in three traunches and the investors are
obligated to provide the Company with an aggregate of $310,000 as
follows:
|
•
|
$110,000
were disbursed on June 16, 2008;
|
|
•
|
$100,000
were disbursed on July 14, 2008 after the Company filed a Schedule 14A
preliminary proxy statement for a reverse stock split with the Securities
and Exchange Commission; and
|
|
•
|
$100,000
will be disbursed upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock
split.
|
Under the
terms of the June 16, 2008 securities purchase agreement, the Company agreed
that it would not, without the prior written consent of a majority-in-interest
of the investors, negotiate or contract with any party to obtain additional
equity financing (including debt financing with an equity component) that
involves (i) the issuance of common stock at a discount to the market price of
the common stock on the date of issuance (taking into account the value of any
warrants or options to acquire common stock in connection therewith), (ii) the
issuance of convertible securities that are convertible into an indeterminate
number of shares of common stock, or (iii) the issuance of warrants during the
lock-up period beginning June 16, 2008 and ending on the later of (a) 270
days from June 16, 2008, or (b) 180 days from the date the registration
statement is declared effective.
In
addition, the Company agreed not to conduct any equity financing (including debt
financing with an equity component) during the period beginning June 16, 2008
and ending two years after the end of the above lock-up period unless it first
provided each investor an option to purchase its pro-rata share (based on the
ratio of each investor's purchase under the securities purchase agreement) of
the securities being offered in any proposed equity financing. Each
investor must be provided written notice describing any proposed equity
financing at least 20 business days prior to the closing of such proposed equity
financing and the option must be extended to each investor during the 15-day
period following delivery of such notice.
The
$310,000 in convertible notes bear interest at 8% per annum from the date of
issuance. Interest is computed on the basis of a 365-day year and is
payable quarterly in cash, with six months of interest payable up
front. The interest rate resets to zero percent for any month in
which the stock price is greater than 125% of the initial market price, or
$.0275, for each trading day during that month. Any amount of
principal or interest on the callable secured convertible notes that is not paid
when due will bear interest at the rate of 15% per annum from the date due
thereof until such amount is paid. The convertible notes mature in
three years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into the Company's
common stock at the noteholders' option, at the lower of (i) $.02 or (ii) 45% of
the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the common stock on
the OTC Bulletin Board for the 20 trading days before but not including the
conversion date. Accordingly, there is no limit on the number of
shares into which the notes may be converted.
The
$310,000 in convertible notes are secured by the Company's assets, including the
Company's inventory, accounts receivable and intellectual
property. Moreover, the Company has a call option under the
terms of the notes. The call option provides the Company with the
right to prepay all of the outstanding convertible notes at any time, provided
there is no event of default by the Company and its stock is trading at or below
$.02 per share. An event of default includes the failure by the
Company to pay the principal or interest on the convertible notes when due or to
timely file a registration statement as required by the Company or obtain
effectiveness with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the registration
statement. Prepayment of the convertible notes is to be made in cash
equal to either (a) 125% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for
prepayments occurring within 30 days following the issue date of the notes; (b)
130% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring
between 31 and 60 days following the issue date of the notes; or (c) 145% of the
outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring after the
60th
day following the issue date of the notes.
The
warrants are exercisable until seven years from the date of issuance at a
purchase price of $.001 per share. The investors may exercise the
warrants on a cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the
warrants are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration
statement. In the event the investors exercise the warrants on a
cashless basis, the Company will not receive any proceeds
therefrom. In addition, the exercise price of the warrants will be
adjusted in the event the Company issues common stock at a price below market,
with the exception of any securities issued as of the date of the warrants or
issued in connection with the convertible notes issued pursuant to the
securities purchase agreement.
The
noteholders have agreed to restrict their ability to convert their convertible
notes or exercise their warrants and receive shares of the Company's common
stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the
aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed
4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common
stock. However, the noteholders may repeatedly sell shares of common
stock in order to reduce their ownership percentage, and subsequently convert
additional convertible notes, provided, however, that such conversions do not
exceed $75,000 per calendar month, or the average daily dollar volume calculated
during the ten business days prior to conversion multiplied by the number of
trading days of that calendar month, per calendar month.
The
Company is required to register the shares of its common stock issuable upon the
conversion of the convertible notes and the exercise of the warrants that were
issued to the noteholders pursuant to the securities purchase agreement the
Company entered in to on June 16, 2008. The registration statement
must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days of the
June 16, 2008 closing date and the effectiveness of the registration is to be
within 135 days of such closing date. Penalties of 2% of the
outstanding principal balance of the convertible notes plus accrued interest are
to be applied for each month the registration is not effective within the
required time. The penalty may be paid in cash or stock at the
Company's option.
As of
September 30, 2008, there have been no conversions of these convertible
notes. Upon conversion of the convertible notes, the Company
extinguishes the convertible debt and related embedded derivatives and no gain
or loss is recorded on the Company's statements of operations as a result of
said conversion.
August 29, 2008 Issuance of $191,913
in Callable Convertible Notes: On August 29, 2008, the Company was
notified by the holders of the convertible notes that there was a past due
interest owing on the outstanding convertible notes. The total amount of
interest owed was $191,913. To pay this interest, the noteholders were willing
to accept $191,913 in additional convertible notes due on August 29,
2011. Accordingly, on August 29, 2008, the Company issued $191,913 in
convertible notes to the noteholders as full payment of the past due
interest.
The
$191,913 in convertible notes bear interest at 2% per annum from August 29,
2008. Interest is computed on the basis of a 365-day year and is payable
quarterly in cash. Any amount of principal or interest on the callable secured
convertible notes that is not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of
15% per annum from the date due thereof until such amount is paid. The
convertible notes mature on August 29, 2011, and are convertible into the
Company's common stock at the noteholders' option, at the lower of (i) $.02 or
(ii) 45% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the
common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board for the 20 trading days before but not
including the conversion date. Accordingly, there is no limit on the number of
shares into which the notes may be converted.
The
$191,913 in convertible notes have a call option under the terms of the notes.
The call option provides the Company with the right to prepay all of the
outstanding convertible notes at any time, provided there is no event of default
by the Company and its stock is trading at or below $.00431 per share. An event
of default includes the failure by the Company to pay the principal or interest
on the convertible notes when due. Prepayment of the convertible notes is to be
made in cash equal to either (a) 135% of the outstanding principal and accrued
interest for prepayments occurring within 30 days following the issue date of
the notes; (b) 145% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for
prepayments occurring between 31 and 90 days following the issue date of the
notes; or (c) 150% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for
prepayments occurring after the 90th day
following the issue date of the notes.
The
noteholders have agreed to restrict their ability to convert their convertible
notes and receive shares of the Company's common stock such that the number of
shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after
such conversion does not exceed 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares
of common stock. However, the noteholders may repeatedly sell shares of common
stock in order to reduce their ownership percentage, and subsequently convert
additional convertible notes, provided, however, that such conversions do not
exceed the average daily dollar volume calculated during the ten business days
prior to conversion multiplied by the number of trading days of that calendar
month, per calendar month.
As of
September 30, 2008, there have been no conversions of these convertible
notes. Upon conversion of the convertible notes, the Company
extinguishes the convertible debt and related embedded derivatives and no gain
or loss is recorded on the Company's statements of operations as a result of
said conversion.
The
Notes include certain features that are considered embedded derivative financial
instruments. These features are described as follows:
|
•
|
The
fixed conversion feature that allows the investor to convert the Notes at
a fixed price per share;
|
|
•
|
The
variable conversion feature that allows the investor to convert the Notes
at a specified percentage of the market price at the time of
conversion;
|
|
•
|
The
variable interest rate provision that calls for no interest to be paid if
the stock price exceeds a predetermined amount for a given number of
months; and
|
|
•
|
The
value of the warrants issued in conjunction with each
funding.
|
The
initial fair value assigned to the embedded derivatives and warrants was
$4,169,000, which consisted of the fair value of the embedded derivatives of
$2,588,000 and the fair value of the warrants of $1,582,000. The
Company recorded the first $2,500,000 of fair value of the derivatives and
warrants to debt discount (equal to the total proceeds received as of June 30,
2005), which will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the
Notes. The remaining balance of $1,669,000 was recorded as loss of
derivative valuation for the period ended June 30, 2005.
As of
December 31, 2005, the carrying amount on the Notes was $340,000, net of the
unamortized debt discount of $1,698,000. Interest expense on the
Notes totaled $739,000 for the period ended December 31, 2005, which consisted
of $369,000 of normal accretion of the Note discount and $370,000 of accrued
interest on the outstanding Note balance for the period. The fair
value of the embedded derivatives and warrants decreased to $195,000 during the
year ended December 31, 2005, which consisted of a fair value of the embedded
derivatives of $137,000 and the fair value of the warrants of
$58,000. The corresponding decrease in derivative value was reflected
as a gain on derivative valuation on the statements of operations in the amount
of $3,975,000.
During
2006, the Company entered into another securities purchase agreement in the
amount $1,000,000. The initial fair value assigned to the embedded
derivatives and warrants was $541,000 for this Note, which consisted of the fair
value of the embedded derivatives of $464,000 and the fair value of the warrants
of $77,000. The Company recorded the $541,000 of fair value of the
derivatives and warrants to debt discount, which will be amortized to interest
expense over the term of the Notes.
As of
December 31, 2006, the carrying amount on the Notes was $1,421,000, net of the
unamortized debt discount of $1,235,000. Interest expense on the
Notes totaled $935,000 for the period ended December 31, 2006, which consisted
of $721,000 of normal accretion of the Note discount and $214,000 of accrued
interest on the outstanding Note balance for the period. The fair
value of the embedded derivatives and warrants decreased by a total of $536,000
during the year ended December 31, 2006, which consisted of a decrease in the
fair value of the embedded derivatives of $451,000 and the fair value of the
warrants of $85,000. Accordingly, the Company recorded a gain on
derivative valuation to the statement of operations of $536,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2006.
During
2007, the Company entered into four securities purchase agreements in the
aggregate amount of $1,639,000. The initial fair value assigned to
the embedded derivatives and warrants was $466,000 for these Notes, which
consisted of the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $344,000 and the fair
value of the warrants of $122,000. The Company recorded $466,000 of
fair value of the derivatives and warrants to debt discount, which will be
amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes.
At
December 31, 2007, the carrying amount on the Notes was $3,100,000, net of the
unamortized debt discount of $828,000. Interest expense on the Notes
totaled $992,000 for the period ended December 31, 2007, which consisted of
$771,000 of normal accretion of the Note discount and $221,000 of accrued
interest on the outstanding Note balance for the period. The fair
value of the embedded derivatives and warrants decreased by a total of $413,000
during the year ended December 31, 2007, which consisted of a decrease in the
fair value of the embedded derivatives of $391,000 and the fair value of the
warrants of $22,000. Accordingly, the Company recorded a gain on
derivative valuation to the statement of operations of $413,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2007.
At
September 30, 2008, the carrying amount on the Notes was $3,777,000, net of the
unamortized debt discount of $347,000. Interest expense on the Notes
totaled $704,000 for the period ended September 30, 2008, which consisted of
$469,000 of normal accretion of the Note discount and $235,000 of accrued
interest on the outstanding Note balance for the period. The fair
value of the embedded derivatives and warrants decreased by a total of $195,000
during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, which consisted of a decrease
in the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $129,000 and the fair value of
the warrants of $66,000. Accordingly, the Company recorded a gain on
derivative valuation to the statement of operations of $195,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008.
The
market price of the Company’s common stock significantly impacts the extent to
which the Company may be required or may be permitted to convert the
unrestricted and restricted portion of the Notes into shares of the Company's
common stock. The lower the market price of the Company's common stock at the
respective times of conversion, the more shares the Company will need to issue
to convert the principal and interest payments then due on the Notes. If the
market price of the Company's common stock falls below certain thresholds, the
Company will be unable to convert any such repayments of principal and interest
into equity, and the Company will be forced to make such repayments in cash. The
Company's operations could be materially impacted, in an adverse way, if the
Company is forced to make repeated cash payments on the Notes.
Simple
Conversion Calculation
The
number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible
notes issued on April 27, 2005, February 28, 2006, June 11, 2007, December 19,
2007, December 23, 2007, and June 16, 2008 is determined by dividing that
portion of the principal of the notes to be converted and interest, if any, by
the conversion price. For example, assuming conversion of $4,124,129 principal
amount of the convertible notes on September 30, 2008 (consisting of $4,960,000
in convertible notes that were sold to the four investors pursuant to securities
purchase agreements dated April 27, 2005, February 28, 2006, June 11, 2007,
December 24, 2007, and June 16, 2008, plus $389,010 in convertible notes issued
on December 19, 2007, and $191,913 in convertible notes issued on August 29,
2008 in payment of past due interest on the notes, less $1,416,793 in notes
converted during the period from June 12, 2005 to September 30, 2008) and a
conversion price of $.0002 per share with a 55% discount, the number of shares
issuable upon conversion would be:
$4,124,129/$.0002
x 45% = 45,823,655,556 shares.
The
Company's obligation to issue shares upon conversion of the convertible notes
issued on April 27, 2005, February 28, 2006, June 11, 2007, December 19, 2007,
December 23, 2007, June 16, 2008 and August 29, 2008 is essentially limitless.
The following is an example of the amount of shares of common stock that are
issuable upon conversion of $4,124,129 principal amount of the convertible notes
(including accrued interest), based on market prices 25%, 50%, and 75% below the
market price, as of September 30, 2008 of $.0002 with a 55%
discount:

As
illustrated, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of
the Company's callable secured convertible notes will increase if the market
price of the Company's common stock declines, which will cause dilution to
existing stockholders.
Adjustable Conversion Price
of Convertible Notes
The
convertible notes are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a
55% discount to the trading price of the common stock prior to the
conversion. The significant downward pressure on the price of the
common stock as the noteholders convert and sell material amounts of common
stock could encourage short sales by investors. This could place
further downward pressure on the price of the common stock. The
noteholders could sell common stock into the market in anticipation of covering
the short sale by converting their securities, which could cause further
downward pressure on the stock price. In addition, not only the sale
of shares issued upon conversion or exercise of notes, warrants and options, but
also the mere perception that these sales could occur, may have a depressive
effect on the market price of the common stock.
Possible Dilution to
Stockholders
The
issuance of shares upon conversion of convertible notes and exercise of warrants
may result in substantial dissolution to the interests of other stockholders
since the holders of the convertible notes may ultimately convert and sell the
full amount issuable upon conversion. Although the noteholders may
not convert their convertible notes and/or exercise their warrants if such
conversion or exercise price would cause them to own more than 4.99% of the
Company's outstanding common stock, this restriction does not prevent the
noteholders from converting and/or exercising some of their holdings and then
converting the rest of their holdings. In this way, the noteholders
could sell more than this limit while never holding more than this
limit. There is no upper limit on the number of shares that may be
issued, which will have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity
interest and voting power of holders of the Company's common stock.
Failure to Repay Convertible
Notes May Require Company Operations to Cease
On April
27, 2005, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement for the sale
of an aggregate of $2,500,000 principal amount of convertible
notes. On February 28, 2006, the Company entered into another
securities purchase agreement for the sale of an aggregate of $1,500,000
principal amount of convertible notes. On June 11, 2007, and December
24, 2007, the Company entered into third and fourth securities purchase
agreements for the sale of an aggregate of $750,000 principal amount of
convertible notes. On December 19, 2007, the Company issued an
additional $389,010 in convertible notes as payment of past due interest owing
on the outstanding convertible notes. On June 16, 2008, the Company
entered into a fifth securities purchase agreement for the sale of an aggregate
of $310,000 principal amount of convertible notes. On August 29,
2008, the Company issued an additional $191,913 in convertible notes as payment
of past due interest owing on the outstanding convertible
notes. These convertible notes are all due and payable, with 8%
interest, three years from the date of issuance, unless sooner converted into
shares of the Company's common stock. The Company currently has
$4,120,711 in convertible notes outstanding. Any event of default
such as the Company's failure to repay the principal or interest when due on the
notes, the Company's failure to issue shares of common stock upon conversion by
the noteholders, the Company's breach of any covenant, representation or
warranty in the securities purchase agreement or related convertible notes, the
assignment or appointment of a receiver to control a substantial part of the
Company's property or business, the filing of a money judgment, writ or similar
process against the Company in excess of $50,000, the commencement of a
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceeding against the
Company, and the delisting of the Company's common stock could require the early
repayment of the convertible notes, including a default interest rate of 15% on
the outstanding principal balance of the notes if the default is not cured
within the specified grace period.
The
Company anticipates that the full amount of convertible notes will be converted
into shares of its common stock, in accordance with the terms of the convertible
notes. If the Company is required to repay the convertible notes, it
would be required to use its limited working capital and raise additional
funds. If the Company were unable to repay the notes when required,
the noteholders could commence legal action against the Company and foreclose on
all of its assets to recover the amounts due. Any such action would
require the Company to curtail or cease operations.

Company's common stock at the rate of 53.3 shares of common stock for each share
of preferred stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, no shares
of Series F preferred stock were converted to the Company's common
stock.
Holders
of Series G preferred have the right to convert such stock into shares of the
Company's common stock at the rate of one share of common stock for each share
of preferred stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, no shares
of Series G preferred stock were converted to shares of the Company's common
stock.
Warrants
The fair
value of warrants granted as described herein is estimated at the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The exercise price per share is
reflective of the then current market value of the stock. No grant exercise
price was established at a discount to market. All warrants are fully vested,
exercisable and nonforfeitable as of the grant date. As a result of
the financing the Company completed on April 27, 2005 involving the sale of
$2,500,000 in convertible notes, the Company granted warrants to the noteholders
to purchase 16,534,392 shares of its common stock. The
warrants have an exercise price of $.20 per share and expire on April 27,
2010. As a result of the financing the Company completed on
February 28, 2006, involving the sale of $1,500,000 in convertible notes,
the Company granted that warrants to the noteholders to purchase 12,000,000
shares of its common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of
$.10 per share and expire on February 27, 2011. As a result of
the financing the Company completed on June 11, 2007, involving the sale of
$500,000 in convertible notes, the Company granted warrants to the noteholders
to purchase 10,000,000 shares of its common stock. The warrants have
an exercise price of $.005 per share and expire on June 11, 2014. As
a result of the financing the Company completed on December 23, 2007, involving
the sale of $250,000 in convertible notes, the Company granted warrants to the
noteholders to purchase 10,000,000 shares of its common stock. The
warrants have an exercise price of $.001 per share and expire on December 23,
2014. As a result of the financing that the Company completed on June
16, 2008, involving the sale of $110,000 in convertible notes, the Company
granted warrants to the noteholders to purchase 10,000,000 shares of its common
stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $.001 per share and
expire on June 16, 2015.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis
or Plan of Operation
This
report contains forward-looking statements and information relating to the
Company that is based on beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by,
and information currently available to management. These statements reflect its
current view respecting future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties
and assumptions, including the risks and uncertainties noted throughout the
document. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that
could cause the actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors
that cause the forward-looking statements not to come true as anticipated,
believed, projected, expected or intended. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results may differ materially from those described herein as anticipated,
believed, projected, estimated, expected or intended.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Revenue
Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue in compliance with
Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB
101), as revised by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (SAB
104). SAB 101 and SAB 104 detail four criteria that must exist before
revenue is recognized:
1. Persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exits. Prior to shipment of product, the
Company required a signed purchase order and, depending upon the customer, a
down payment toward the final invoiced price or full payment in advance with
certain international product distributors.
2. Delivery
and performance have occurred. Unless the purchase order requires
specific installation or customer acceptance, the Company recognizes revenue
when the product ships. If the purchase order requires specific installation or
customer acceptance, the Company recognizes revenue when such installation or
acceptance has occurred. Title to the product passes to its customer
upon shipment. This revenue recognition policy does not differ among
its various different product lines. The Company guarantees the functionality of
its product. If its product does not function as marketed when
received by the customer, the Company either makes the necessary repairs on site
or has the product shipped to the Company for the repair work. Once
the product has been repaired and retested for functionality, it is re-shipped
to the customer. The Company provides warranties that generally
extend for one year from the date of sale. Such warranties cover the necessary
parts and labor to repair the product as well as any shipping costs that may be
required. The Company maintains a reserve for estimated warranty costs based on
its historical experience and management’s current expectations.
3. The
sales price is fixed or determinable. The purchase order received from the
customer includes the agreed-upon sales price. The Company does not
accept customer orders, and therefore does not recognize revenue, until the
sales price is fixed.
4. Collectibility
is reasonably assured. With limited exceptions, the Company requires
down payments on product prior to shipment. In some cases the Company requires
payment in full prior to shipment. The Company also performs credit
checks on new customers and ongoing credit checks on existing
customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts
receivable based on historical experience and management’s current
expectations.
5. Revenues
for sales of products that require specific installation and acceptance by the
customer are recognized upon such installation and acceptance by the customer.
Revenues for sales of other surgical systems, ultrasound diagnostic devices, and
disposable products are recognized when the product is shipped. A signed
purchase agreement and a depositor payment in full from customers are required
before a product leaves the premises. Title passes at time of shipment (F.O.B.
shipping point). The products of the Company contain both hardware and software
components. The Company does not recognize revenue for the software components
of the products separate from the product as a whole because the software is
incidental to the product, as defined in paragraph 2 of SOP 97-2.
Recoverability of
Inventory. Since its inception, the Company has purchased
several complete lines of inventory. In some circumstances the Company has been
able to utilize certain items acquired and others remain unused. On a
quarterly basis, the Company attempts to identify inventory items that have
shown relatively no movement or very slow movement. Generally, if an
item has shown little or no movement for over a year, it is determined not to be
recoverable and a reserve is established for that item. In addition,
if the Company identifies products that have become obsolete due to product
upgrades or enhancements, a reserve is established for such products. The
Company intends to make efforts to sell these items at significantly discounted
prices. If items are sold, the cash received would be recorded as revenue, but
there would be no cost of sales on such items due to the reserve that has been
recorded. At the time of sale, the inventory would be reduced for the
item sold and the corresponding inventory reserve would also be
reduced.
Recoverability of Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets. The Company’s intangible assets consist of goodwill,
product and technology rights, engineering and design costs, and patent
costs. Intangibles with a determined life are amortized on a
straight-line basis over their determined useful life and are also evaluated for
potential impairment if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable. Intangibles with an indefinite life,
such as goodwill, are not amortized but are tested for impairment on an annual
basis or when events and circumstances indicate that the asset may be
impaired. Impairment tests include comparing the fair value of a
reporting unit with its carrying net book value, including
goodwill. To date, the Company’s determination of the fair value of
the reporting unit has been based on the estimated future cash flows of that
reporting unit. Intangible assets other than goodwill have been fully
amortized.
Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts. The Company records an allowance for doubtful
accounts to offset estimated uncollectible accounts receivable. Bad debt expense
associated with the increases in the allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded
as part of general and administrative expense. The Company’s
accounting policy generally is to record an allowance for receivables over 90
days past due unless there is significant evidence to support that the
receivable is collectible.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The
Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of embedded derivatives
related to the Secured Convertible Term Notes (“the Notes”) entered into
agreements on April 27, 2005; June 23, 2005; June 30, 2005; February 28, 2006;
June 28, 2006; April 30, 2007; June 11, 2007; December 24, 2007; December 31,
2007, June 16, 2008, July 14, 2008, and August 29, 2008. These Notes
contain interrelated embedded derivatives, which include the fixed conversion
feature, the variable conversion feature, the variable interest feature, and the
contingent put feature. Although the put feature was determined to be
an embedded derivative which requires bifurcation, we believe the likelihood of
this feature being exercised is remote and accordingly no value was ascribed to
this particular put feature. We are required to continue to evaluate
our accounting and valuation for this put feature. We will continue
to monitor the probability of this particular put feature being exercised and
its impact to our valuation of embedded derivatives in future
periods.
Based on
the complex nature of these terms, the Company chose to employ a binomial
lattice model to value these features. The Company used the lattice
model because it allows for the consideration of the dynamic and interrelated
nature of the unique terms of these securities. It takes into
consideration that in each discrete period of time a stock can either go up or
down (described as its “volatility”) and produces a range of potential future
stock prices (and thus multiple values at those future points in time). A
binomial lattice model assumes the price of the stock underlying the derivative
follows one of the two price paths (stock price can either go up or
down). There are three general steps in constructing a binomial
lattice model: (1) calculation of the stock price lattice, (2) calculation of
the potentially applicable option values at each node based on the terms and
conditions of the specific security, and (3) progressively calculating the
security value at each node starting at the maturity of the security and working
back to the present testing for the greater of the current period value or the
probability weighted holding value of the security. The following key
inputs and assumptions were used to calculate the fair values of the embedded
derivatives and the warrants:
|
•
|
Stock
Price: This is the stock price as of the respective
valuation date.
|
|
•
|
Fixed Conversion
Price: The fixed conversion price used in the valuation
analysis was set equal to fixed conversion price (ranging from $0.2 to
$0.09) per share for each of the Notes. This is the fixed price
at which the Investor can convert the Note into common
stock.
|
|
•
|
Volatility: Volatility
is a measure of the standard deviation of the stocks continuously
compounded return over the life of the security. The ideal
volatility for an accurate calculation of fair value is the future
volatility of the security. This cannot be known with
certainty, so an approximation is derived using historical return
volatility for a period of time equal to the remaining life of the
instrument as a proxy, and professional judgment. As part of
our valuation, we performed extensive analysis of the historical
volatility of returns for the Company’s stock. Based on our
analysis, we chose a standard deviation of 200% as our best estimate of
future volatility.
|
|
•
|
Risk-Free
Rate: The appropriate risk free rate is the interest
rate of a U.S. treasury note with a maturity equal to the maturity of the
respective security. As of September 30, 2008, the risk free
interest rates ranged from 1.6% to 2.28%. As of December 31,
2007, the risk free interest rates ranged from 3.06% to
3.49%. As of December 31, 2006, the risk free interest rates
ranged from 4.78% to 4.91%.
|
|
•
|
Time to
Maturity: The time to maturity is measured based on the
remaining term of the security as of the valuation
date.
|
|
•
|
20-day Minimum Price vs.
Closing Stock Price: The variable conversion feature
allows the Investor to convert the Notes at a price equal to 45% of the
average of the lowest three trading prices during the twenty trading days
preceding a conversion notice. We analyzed the historical
relationship between the common stock closing price and the lowest trading
price. Based on this analysis, we determined that on average
the lowest trading price in any 20-day period during the time period
analyzed was approximately 69.5% of the closing price. We used
this as a conservative proxy for the average of the three lowest closing
prices during the 20-day period. This result was used in the
test of the stock price relative to the fixed conversion
price.
|
|
•
|
Monthly Intraday Trading
Price: The variable interest rate provision waives
interest for a given month if the intraday trading price of the common
stock exceeds $0.0945 or $0.0275 or $0.012 or $0.007 (depending on Note)
per share for every day within a given month. We made a
simplifying assumption that our various node prices were equivalent to
this intraday trading price.
|
|
•
|
Trading
Liquidity: We assumed that adequate stock trading
liquidity is available for the Investors to sell converted / exercised
shares.
|
|
•
|
Probability of Contingent Put
Feature: We assumed that the likelihood of this feature
being exercised is remote and accordingly no value was ascribed to this
particular put feature. We will continue to monitor the
probability of this particular put feature being exercised and its impact
to our valuation of embedded derivatives in future
periods.
|
The
warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the
following assumptions for 2008 and 2007, respectively: dividend yield of 0% and
0%; annual volatility of 200% and 200%; and risk free interest rates ranging
from 2.0% to 3.38% and 3.06% to 3.7%.
The
accounting treatment of derivative instruments requires that the Company record
the derivatives and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception
date of the agreement and at a fair value of each subsequent balance sheet date.
In addition, under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as a result of entering into the
Notes, the Company is required to classify all other non-employee stock options
and warrants as derivative liabilities and mark them to market at each reporting
date. Any change in the fair value will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash
income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the derivatives
is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record a
non-operating, non-cash income.
General
The
following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks
and uncertainty. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors
discussed in this section. The Company’s fiscal year is from January 1 through
December 31.
The
Company is engaged in the design, development, manufacture and sale of high
technology diagnostic eye care products. Given the "going concern" status of the
Company, management has focused efforts on those products and activities that
will, in its opinion, achieve the most resource efficient short-term cash
flow. As seen in the results for the three months ended September 30,
2008, diagnostic products have been the major focus and the Photon™ and other
extensive research and development projects have been put on hold
pending future evaluation when the Company's financial position
improves. The Company does not focus on a specific diagnostic product
or products but, instead, on the entire diagnostic group.
Results
of Operations
Three
Months Ended September 30, 2008, Compared to Three Months Ended September 30,
2007
Net sales
for the three months ended September 30, 2008 decreased by $71,000, or 13%, to
$463,000 as compared to $534,000 for the same period of 2007. This
reduction in sales was primarily due to decreased sales of the P40, P45 and P60
Ultrasound Biomicroscopes, the P37, P37II and P2700 Ocular Ultrasound Diagnostic
A/B Scan, the P2000 A-Scan Biometric Ultrasound Analyzer, the P2200 and P2500
Pachymetric Analyzers, and the Blood Flow Analyzer™. The reduction in
such sales was partially offset by an increase in the sales of the Glaid device,
or Perg, which is manufactured by LACE Electronica srl. The Company
anticipates an ongoing upward trend in Perg sales as the Perg continues to gain
market acceptance in the United States.
For the
three months ended September 30, 2008, sales from the Company’s diagnostic
products totaled $409,000, or 88% of total revenues, compared to $492,000, or
92% of total revenues for the same period of 2007. The remaining 12% of sales,
or $54,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2008, was from parts,
disposables, and service revenue.
Sales of
the Glaid device, or Perg were $145,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2008 compared to no sales for the same period in 2007. Sales of the
P60 UBM Ultrasound Biomicroscope increased by $96,000 to $103,000, or 22% of
total revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to
$7,000, or 1% of total revenues, for the same period in 2007. Sales
of the Blood Flow Analyzer™ decreased by $61,000 to no sales for the three
months ended September 30, 2008, compared to net sales of $61,000, or 11%
of total revenues, during the same period in 2007. Sales from the
P2700, P37, and P37-II A/B Scan Ocular Ultrasound Diagnostic devices decreased
by $97,000 to $77,000, or 17% of total revenues for the three months ended
September 30, 2008, compared to $174,000, or 33% of total revenues for the same
period in 2007. Sales of the P55, P2200, P2500 Pachymetric Analyzers,
and the P2000 A-Scan Biometric Ultrasound Analyzer decreased by $20,000 to
$28,000, or 6% of total revenues, for the three month period ended
September 30, 2008, compared to $48,000, or 9% of total revenues, for the
same period in 2007. Combined sales of the LD 400, TKS 5000, and
CT200 Autoperimetry Systems decreased by $77,000 to $54,000, or 12% of the total
revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to
$131,000, or 25% of total revenues, for the same period in 2007.
Sales
have been lower during the three months ended September 30, 2008 for the Company
due to a variety of reasons. Sales of the P60 UBM Ultrasound
Biomicroscope were reduced primarily due to the delayed introduction of new
software for the P60, which received FDA 510(k) premarket approval on
May 26, 2005, allowing the device to be sold in the United
States. The hardware problems have since been resolved and the
Company continues the ongoing process of improving the software package for the
P60.
The
Company anticipates reversing the downward trend in sales through additional
efforts by the Company to gain more widespread support for the P60 UBM
Ultrasound Biomicroscope, the Blood Flow Analyzer™, the LD400 Antoperimetry
System, the P37-II Ocular Ultrasound Diagnostic A/B Scan, the 2200 and 2500
Pachymetric Analyzers, the P2000 A-Scan Biometric Ultrasound Analyzer, and the
Lace Perg through increased clinical awareness, ongoing product development,
improved marketing plans and strategic product replacement, and ongoing
development of the LD400 perimeter and the Lace Perg. The Blood Flow
Analyzer™ is expected to have a new CPT reimbursement code for Medicare
insurance providers issued by the end of 2009, reversing the downward sales
trend it has experienced.
Gross
profit for the three months ended September 30, 2008 decreased by 3% of total
revenues, compared to 49% of total revenues for the same period in
2007. This reduction in gross profit was mainly due to an increase in
the price of materials and an increase in inventory. There was no
increase to cost of sales as a result of a charge to the reserve for obsolete
inventory in 2007.
Marketing
and selling expenses decreased by $69,000, or 41%, to $99,000, for the three
months ended September 30, 2008, from $168,000 for the comparable period in
2007. This decrease was due primarily to a reduction in overall
marketing expenses, related travel expenses and a general reduction in
staff.
General
and administrative expenses decreased by $1,000, or 1%, to $190,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2008, from $191,000 for the comparable
period in 2007. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in
salaries as a result of a general reduction in staff.
Also,
during the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company has not been able
to collect receivables that were previously allowed in the allowance for
doubtful accounts. During the three months ended September 30, 2008,
the Company has not increased the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Research,
development and service expenses decreased by $51,000, or 72%, to $20,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $71,000 in the same
period in 2007. This decrease was mainly due to a reduction of
funding available for the marketing of new products and a reduction in
staff.
Gain and
loss of derivative valuation for the three months ended September 30, 2008
decreased by $594,000, or 99%, to $8,000 as compared to $602,000 for the same
period in 2007.
Interest
expense –accretion of debt discount for the three months ended September 30,
2008 decreased by $98,000, or 48%, to $108,000 as compared to $206,000 for the
same period in 2007.
Interest
expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased by $10,000, or
14%, to $81,000 as compared to $71,000 for the same period in 2007.
Nine
months ended September 30, 2008, Compared to Nine months ended September 30,
2007.
Net sales
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 decreased by $284,000, or 24%, to
$906,000 as compared to $1,190,000 for the same period of 2007. This
reduction in sales was primarily due to decreased sales of the P40, P45 and P60
Ultrasound Biomicroscopes, the P37, P37II and P2700 Ocular Ultrasound Diagnostic
A/B Scan, the P2000 A-Scan Biometric Ultrasound Analyzer, the P2200 and P2500
Pachymetric Analyzers, and the Blood Flow Analyzer™. The reduction in
such sales was partially offset by an increase in the sales of the Glaid device,
or Perg, which is manufactured by LACE Electornica srl. The Company
anticipates an ongoing upward trend in Perg sales as the Perg continues to gain
market acceptance in the United States.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, sales from the Company’s diagnostic
products totaled $786,000, or 86% of total revenues, compared to $1,060,000, or
89% of total revenues for the same period of 2007. The remaining 14% of sales,
or $120,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, was from parts,
disposables, and service revenue.
Sales of
the Glaid device, or Perg, were $145,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2008 compared to no sales for the same period in 2007. Sales of the
P60 UBM Ultrasound Biomicroscope increased by $22,000 to $179,000, or 20% of
total revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to
$157,000, or 13% of total revenues, for the same period in
2007. Sales of the Blood Flow Analyzer™ decreased by $77,000 to $
50,000 or 5% of total revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008,
compared to net sales of $127,000, or 11% of total revenues, during the same
period in 2007. Sales from the P2700, P37, and P37-II A/B Scan Ocular
Ultrasound Diagnostic devices decreased by $175,000 to $138,000, or 15% of total
revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $313,000, or
26% of total revenues, for the same period in 2007. Sales of the P55,
P2200, P2500 Pachymetric Analyzers, and the P2000 A-Scan Biometric Ultrasound
Analyzer decreased by $48,000 to $39,000, or 4% of total revenues, for the three
month period ended September 30, 2008, compared to $87,000, or 7% of total
revenues, for the same period in 2007. Combined sales of the
LD 400, TKS 5000, and CT200 Autoperimetry Systems increased by $1,000
to $262,000, or 28% of the total revenues, for the nine months ended September
30, 2008, compared to $261,000, or 22% of total revenues, for the same period in
2007.

total revenues, compared to 46% of total revenues for the same period in
2007. This decrease in gross profit was mainly due to increased costs
of parts and labor. There was no increase to cost of sales as a
result of a charge to the reserve for obsolete inventory in 2007.
Marketing
and selling expenses decreased by $31,000, or 7%, to $411,000, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008, from $442,000 for the comparable period in
2007. This decrease was due primarily to an decrease in training
expenses and related travel expenses associated with reduced staff.
General
and administrative expenses decreased by $16,000, or 2%, to $672,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, from $688,000 for the comparable
period in 2007. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in
salaries as a result of a general reduction in staff.
Also,
during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company has not been able
to collect receivables that were previously allowed in the allowance for
doubtful accounts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008,
the Company has not increased the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Research,
development and service expenses decreased by $89,000, or 34%, to $172,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $261,000 in the same
period in 2007. This decrease was mainly due to the completion in the
development of the P60 UBM software revision, a reduction of funding available
for the marketing of new products, and a reduction of staff.
Gain and
loss of derivative valuation for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
decreased by $137,000, or 41%, to $195,000 as compared to $332,000 for the same
period in 2007.
Interest
expense –accretion of debt discount for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
decreased by $110,000, or 19%, to $469,000 as compared to $579,000 for the same
period in 2007.
Interest
expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased by $48,000, or
26%, to $235,000 as compared to $187,000 for the same period in
2007.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
Company used $480,000 in cash in operating activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008, compared to $1,077,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2007. The decrease in cash used for operating activities for the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to the Company's
net loss and increases in inventory, and a significant decrease of the change of
the fair value of derivative liabilities. There was no cash used for investment
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to no cash
used for investment activities for the same period in 2007. Net cash used in
financing activities was $210,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008,
compared to $1,000,000 in the same period in 2007. The Company had a working
capital of $91,000 as of September 30, 2008. In the past, the Company has relied
heavily upon sales of the Company's common and preferred stock to fund
operations. There can be no assurance that such equity funding will be available
on terms acceptable to the Company in the future.
As of
September 30, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) of
approximately $56 million. These loss carryforwards are available to offset
future taxable income, if any, and have begun to expire in 2001and extend for
twenty years. The Company's ability to use net operating loss carryforwards
(NOLs) to offset future income is dependent upon certain limitations as a result
of the pooling transaction with Vismed and the tax laws in effect at the time of
the NOLs being utilized. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 significantly limits the
annual amount that can be utilized for certain of these carryforwards as a
result of change of ownership.
As of
September 30, 2008, the Company had accounts payable of $550,000, a substantial
portion of which was over 90 days past due, compared to accounts payable of
$347,000 as of September 30, 2007. The Company has contacted many of
the vendors or companies of payables past due in an effort to delay payment,
negotiate settlement payment, or establish a longer term payment plan. While
some companies have been willing to renegotiate the outstanding amounts, others
have demanded payment in full. Under certain conditions, including but not
limited to judgments rendered against the Company in a court of law, a group of
creditors could force the Company into bankruptcy due to its inability to pay
the liabilities arising out of such judgments at that time. In addition to the
accounts payable noted above, the Company also has operating lease obligations
that require the payment of approximately $110,000 in 2008, and $108,000 in
2007.
The
Company has taken measures to reduce the amount of uncollectible accounts
receivable such as a more thorough and stringent credit approval, improved
product, training and instruction by sales personnel, and frequent direct
communication with the customer subsequent to delivery of the system. The
allowance for doubtful accounts was 18% of total outstanding receivables as of
September 30, 2008, compared to 11% of total outstanding receivables as of
September 30, 2007.
The
Company intends to continue its efforts to reduce the allowance for doubtful
accounts as a percentage of accounts receivable. The Company has
ongoing efforts to collect a significant portion of the sales price in advance
of the sale or in a timely manner after delivery. The Company believes that by
requiring a large portion of payment prior to shipment, it has greatly improved
the collectibility of its receivables.
The
Company carried an allowance for obsolete or estimated non-recoverable inventory
of $244,000 at September 30, 2008 and $1,320,000 at September 30, 2007, or 22%
and 55% of total inventory, respectively. The Company’s means of expansion and
development of product has been largely from acquisition of businesses, product
lines, existing inventory, and the rights to specific products. Through such
acquisitions, the Company has acquired substantial inventory, some of which the
eventual use and recoverability was uncertain. In addition, the Company has a
significant amount of inventory relating to the Photon™ laser system, which does
not yet have FDA approval in order to sell the product
domestically. Therefore, the allowance for inventory was established
to reserve for these potential eventualities.
On a
quarterly basis, the Company attempts to identify inventory items that have
shown relatively no movement or very slow movement. Generally, if an
item has shown little or no movement for over a year, it is determined not to be
recoverable and a reserve is established for that item. In addition,
if the Company identifies products that have become obsolete due to product
upgrades or enhancements, a reserve is established for such
products. The Company intends to make efforts to sell these items at
significantly discounted prices. If items are sold, the cash received
would be recorded as revenue, but there would be no cost of sales on such items
due to the reserve that has been recorded. At the time of sale, the
inventory would be reduced for the item sold and the corresponding inventory
reserve would also be reduced.
At this
time, the Company’s Photon™ Laser Ocular Surgery Workstation requires regulatory
FDA approval in order to be sold in the United States. Any possible
future efforts to complete the clinical trials on the Photon™ in order to file
for FDA approval would depend on the Company obtaining adequate
funding. The Company estimates that the funds needed to complete the
clinical trials in order to obtain the necessary regulatory approval on the
Photon™ to be approximately $1,500,000. The Company is currently
attempting to find a prospective purchaser to acquire the Photon™ laser system
and its components, including the inventory and intellectual property
rights.
Effect
of Inflation and Foreign Currency Exchange
The
Company has not realized a reduction in the selling price of its products as a
result of domestic inflation. Nor has it experienced unfavorable profit
reductions due to currency exchange fluctuations or inflation with its foreign
customers. All sales transactions to date have been denominated in U.S.
dollars. The Company has experienced an increase in products being
manufactured in England and Italy, and in parts being acquired from the European
Community due to the fluctuations of the dollar compared to the Euro and the
Pound Sterling. This has increased the cost of several
products. There may be an impact on profits as a result of this
decrease in the value of the dollar because the profit margins will decrease if
higher product pricing has a negative impact on sales.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of
Statement No. 115 ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure
many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not
currently required to be measured at fair value, and establishes presentation
and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies
that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and
liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective on January 1, 2008, and is not expected to
have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations ("SFAS
141R"). SFAS 141R establishes the principles and requirements for how an
acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in
the acquiree, and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes
disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial
effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective on January 1, 2009,
and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 ("SFAS
160"). SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests,
which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a
component of equity. This new consolidation method will significantly change the
accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. SFAS 160 is
effective on January 1, 2009, and is not expected to have a material effect on
the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161
amends SFAS 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hendging Activities to require enhanced
disclosures concerning the manner in which an entity uses derivatives (and the
reasons it uses them), the manner in which derivatives and related hedged items
are accounted for under SFAS 133 and interpretations thereof, and the effects
that derivatives and related hedged items have on an entity's financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is
effective for financial statements of fiscal years and interim periods beginning
after November 15, 2008. The Company has not yet determined the
effects on its consolidated financial statements, if any, that may result upon
the adoption of SFAS 161.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles ("SFAS 162"). FAS 162 is effective 60
days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present
Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. The statement is intended to improve financial
reporting by identifying a consistent hierarchy for selecting accounting
principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP). The Company has not completed its evaluation of the effects,
if any, that SFAS 162 may have on its consolidated financial position, results
of operations and cash flows.
Item
3. Controls and Procedures
Disclosures
Controls and Procedures
As of the
end of the period covered by the quarterly report for the period ended September
30, 2008, the Company's management, with the participation of the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness
of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the
period covered by such report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
were effective as of September 30, 2008. Disclosure controls are
controls and procedures designed to reasonably ensure that information required
to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as
this report, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and
forms. Disclosure controls include controls and procedures designed
to reasonably ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure
as of September 30, 2008.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
The
Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange
Act Rule 13a-15(f), to provide reasonable assurance of the proper authorization
of transactions, the safeguarding of assets and the reliability of financial
records. The internal control system was designed to provide
reasonable assurance to management and the Company's Board of Directors
regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial
statements. Under the supervision and with the participation of the
Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief
Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of
its internal control over financial reporting. Management assessed
the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as
of September 30, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the
criteria or framework set forth in Internal Control - Integrated
Framework issued by the Committed of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the Company's evaluation, the
Company's management concluded that the Company's internal control over
financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2008.
Inherent
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
PART
II Other Information
Item
1. Legal Proceedings
An action
was filed on June 20, 2003, in the Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake
County, State of Utah (Civil No. 030914195) by CitiCorp Vendor Finance, Inc.,
formerly known as Copelco Capital, Inc. The complaint claims that
$49,626 plus interest is due for the leasing of three copy machines that were
delivered to the Company’s Salt Lake City facilities on or about April of
2000. The action also seeks an award of attorney’s fees and costs
incurred in the collection. The Company filed an answer to the
complaint disputing the amounts allegedly owed due to machine problems and a
claimed understanding with the vendor. The Company returned two of
the machines. Due to an assignment, CIT Technology Financing Services I, LLC is
the substitute plaintiff. Formal discovery has been in
progress. On June 26, 2008, the Company filed a third party complaint
against certain entities. A new schedule for the case is being
prepared for presentation to the court. Settlement discussions are
also in process. The Company believes the claims are without merit
and intends to vigorously defend against such action.
The
Company is not a party to any other material legal proceedings outside the
ordinary course of its business or to any other legal proceedings, which, if
adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on its financial
condition or results of operations.
Item
1A. Risk Factors
The
continuously adjustable conversion price feature of the convertible notes could
require the Company to issue a substantially greater number of shares, which
will cause dilution to the existing shareholders.
The
Company's obligation to issue shares upon conversion of the convertible notes
issued on April 27, 2005, February 28, 2006, June 11, 2007, December 19,
2007, December 24, 2007, June 16, 2008 and August 29, 2008 is essentially
limitless. The following is an example of the amount of shares of
common stock that are issuable upon conversion of $4,124,129 principal amount of
the convertible notes (including accrued interest), based on market prices 25%,
50%, and 75% below the market price, as of September 30, 2008 of $.0002 with a
55% discount:

*Based on
1,395,229,465 shares outstanding as of September 30, 2008.
As
illustrated, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of
the Company's convertible notes will increase if the market price of the
Company's stock declines, which will cause dilution to the Company's existing
shareholders.
The
continuously adjustable conversion price feature of the convertible notes may
encourage investors to make short sales in the Company's common stock, which
could have a depressive effect on the price of the Company's common
stock.
The
convertible notes are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a
55% discount to the trading price of the common stock prior to the
conversion. The significant downward pressure on the price of the
common stock as the noteholders convert and sell material amounts of common
stock could encourage short sales by investors. This could place
further downward pressure on the price of the common stock. The
noteholders could sell common stock into the market in anticipation of covering
the short sale by converting their securities, which could cause the further
downward pressure on the stock price. In addition, not only could the
sales of shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of notes, warrants and
options, but also the mere perception that these sales could occur, may
adversely affect the market price of the common stock.
The
issuance of shares upon conversion of the convertible notes may cause immediate
and substantial dilution to existing shareholders.
The
issuance of shares upon conversion of convertible notes may result in
substantial dilution to the interests of other shareholders since the
noteholders may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on
conversion. Although the noteholders may not convert their
convertible notes if such conversion would cause them to own more than 4.99% of
the Company's outstanding common stock, this restriction does not prevent the
noteholders from converting some of their holdings and then converting the rest
of their holdings. In this way, the noteholders could sell more than
this limit while never holding more than this limit. There is no
upper limit on the number of shares that may be issued, which will have the
effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of
holders of the Company's common stock.
Failure
to Repay Convertible Notes May Require Company Operations to Cease
On April
27, 2005, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement for the sale
of an aggregate of $2,500,000 principal amount of convertible
notes. On February 28, 2006, the Company entered into another
securities purchase agreement for the sale of an aggregate of $1,500,000
principal amount of convertible notes. On June 11, 2007, and December
24, 2007, the Company entered into third and fourth securities purchase
agreements for the sale of an aggregate of $750,000 principal amount of
convertible notes. On December 19, 2007, the Company issued an
additional $389,010 in convertible notes as payment of past due interest owing
on the outstanding convertible notes. On June 16, 2008, the Company
entered into a fifth securities purchase agreement for the sale of an aggregate
of $310,000 principal amount of convertible notes. On August 29,
2008, the Company issued an additional $191,9013 in convertible notes as payment
of past due interest owing on the outstanding convertible
notes. These convertible notes are all due and payable, with 8%
interest, three years from the date of issuance, unless sooner converted into
shares of the Company's common stock. The Company currently has
$4,120,711 in convertible notes outstanding. Any event of default
such as the Company's failure to repay the principal or interest when due on the
notes, the Company's failure to issue shares of common stock upon conversion by
the noteholders, the Company's breach of any covenant, representation or
warranty in the securities purchase agreement or related convertible notes, the
assignment or appointment of a receiver to control a substantial part of the
Company's property or business, the filing of a money judgment, writ or similar
process against the Company in excess of $50,000, the commencement of a
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceeding against the
Company, and the delisting of the Company's common stock could require the early
repayment of the convertible notes, including a default interest rate of 15% on
the outstanding principal balance of the notes if the default is not cured
within the specified grace period.
The
Company anticipates that the full amount of convertible notes will be converted
into shares of its common stock, in accordance with the terms of the convertible
notes. If the Company is required to repay the convertible notes, it
would be required to use its limited working capital and raise additional
funds. If the Company were unable to repay the notes when required,
the noteholders could commence legal action against the Company and foreclose on
all of its assets to recover the amounts due. Any such action would
require the Company to curtail or cease operations.
Because
the Company failed to hold an Annual Shareholders Meeting in fiscal 2007 and
fiscal 2008, the Delaware Court of Chancery may order an Annual Meeting to be
held upon request by a shareholder.
The
Company did not hold an Annual Meeting of the Shareholders (the "Annual
Meeting") for fiscal 2007 or for fiscal 2008 in order to avoid the costs of such
a meeting, including the cost of preparing and mailing a Proxy Statement and
Annual Report to each of its shareholders. Under Delaware law, the
Company is required to hold an Annual Meeting each year. A failure to
hold an Annual Meeting does not affect otherwise valid corporate acts or work a
forfeiture or dissolution of the Company. Moreover, under Delaware
law, directors continue to serve as directors despite lack of an Annual Meeting
until the next Annual Meeting and until their successors have been elected and
qualified. However, if the Company fails to hold an Annual Meeting
for a period of 30 days after the date designated in its bylaws for the Annual
Meeting, the Delaware Court of Chancery may order an Annual Meeting to be held
upon the application of any of the Company's shareholders, if an Annual Meeting
is ordered to be held by the court, the Company would have to incur the costs of
holding the meeting, including the cost of preparing and mailing the Proxy
Statement and Annual Report to each of its shareholders. The Company
anticipates holding an Annual Meeting in 2009.
Item
2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Callable
Secured Convertible Notes and Warrants
December 19, 2007 Issuance of
$389,010 in Callable Convertible Notes: On December 19, 2007, the Company
was notified by the holders of the convertible notes that there was a past due
interest owing on the outstanding convertible notes. The total amount of
interest owed was.$389,010. To pay this interest, the noteholders were willing
to accept $389,010 in additional convertible notes due on December 31, 2010.
Accordingly, on December 19, 2007, the Company issued $389,010 in convertible
notes to the noteholders as full payment of the past due interest.
The
$389,010 in convertible notes bear interest at 2% per annum from December 31,
2007. Interest is computed on the basis of a 365-day year and is payable
quarterly in cash. Any amount of principal or interest on the callable secured
convertible notes that is not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of
15% per annum from the date due thereof until such amount is paid. The
convertible notes mature on December 31, 2010, and are convertible into the
Company's common stock at the noteholders' option, at the lower of (i) $.02 or
(ii) 50% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the
common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board for the 20 trading days before but not
including the conversion date. Accordingly, there is no limit on the number of
shares into which the notes may be converted. On June 16, 2008, the
Company agreed to reduce the applicable percentage for calculating the
conversion price from 60% to 45% of the average of the three lowest intraday
trading prices of the Company's common stock. The Company agreed to
this change as a condition to receiving further funding for its ongoing
operations on June 16, 2008.
The
$389,010 in convertible notes have a call option under the terms of the notes.
The call option provides the Company with the right to prepay all of the
outstanding convertible notes at any time, provided there is no event of default
by the Company and its stock is trading at or below $.04 per share. An event of
default includes the failure by the Company to pay the principal or interest on
the convertible notes when due. Prepayment of the convertible notes is to be
made in cash equal to either (a) 135% of the outstanding principal and accrued
interest for prepayments occurring within 30 days following the issue date of
the notes; (b) 145% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for
prepayments occurring between 31 and 60 days following the issue date of the
notes; or (c) 150% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for
prepayments occurring after the 60th day
following the issue date of the notes.
The
noteholders have agreed to restrict their ability to convert their convertible
notes and receive shares of the Company's common stock such that the number of
shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after
such conversion does not exceed 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares
of common stock. However, the noteholders may repeatedly sell shares of common
stock in order to reduce their ownership percentage, and subsequently convert
additional convertible notes, provided, however, that such conversions do not
exceed the average daily dollar volume calculated during the ten business days
prior to conversion multiplied by the number of trading days of that calendar
month, per calendar month.
December 24, 2007 Sale of $250,000
in Callable Secured Convertible Notes: To obtain further funding for the
Company's ongoing operations, the Company entered into a fourth securities
purchase agreement on December 24, 2007 with the same four accredited investors
for the sale of (i) $250,000 in callable secured convertible notes and (ii)
warrants to purchase 15,000,000 shares of its common stock. The investors
disbursed $250,000 to the Company on December 24, 2007.
Under the
terms of the December 24, 2007 securities purchase agreement, the Company agreed
that it would not, without the prior written consent of a majority-in-interest
of the investors, negotiate or contract with any party to obtain additional
equity financing (including debt financing with an equity component) that
involves (i) the issuance of common stock at a discount to the market price of
the common stock on the date of issuance (taking into account the value of any
warrants or options to acquire common stock in connection therewith), (ii) the
issuance of convertible securities that are convertible into an indeterminate
number of shares of common stock, or (iii) the issuance of warrants during the
lock-up period beginning December 24, 2007 and ending on the later of (a) 270
days from December 24, 2007, or (b) 180 days from the date the registration
statement is declared effective.
In
addition, the Company agreed not to conduct any equity financing (including debt
financing with an equity component) during the period beginning December24, 2007
and ending two years after the end of the above lock-up period unless it first
provided each investor an option to purchase its pro-rata share (based on the
ratio of each investor's purchase under the securities purchase agreement) of
the securities being offered in any proposed equity financing. Each investor
must be provided written notice describing any proposed equity financing at
least 20 business days prior to the closing of such proposed equity financing
and the option must be extended to each investor during the 15-day period
following delivery of such notice.
The
$250,000 in convertible notes bear interest at 8% per annum from the date of
issuance. Interest is computed on the basis of a 365-day year and is payable
quarterly in cash, with six months of interest payable up front. The interest
rate resets to zero percent for any month in which the stock price is greater
than 125% of the initial market price, or $.0275, for each trading day during
that month. Any amount of principal or interest on the callable secured
convertible notes that is not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of
15% per annum from the date due thereof until such amount is paid. The
convertible notes mature in three years from the date of issuance, and are
convertible into the Company's common stock at the noteholders' option, at the
lower of (i) $.02 or (ii) 50% of the average of the three lowest intraday
trading prices for the common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board for the 20 trading
days before but not including the conversion date. Accordingly, there is no
limit on the number of shares into which the notes may be
converted. On June 16, 2008, the Company agreed to reduce
the applicable percentage for calculating the conversion price from 60%, to 45%
of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices of the Company's
common stock. The Company agreed to this change as a condition to
receiving further funding for its ongoing operations on June 16,
2008.
The
$250,000 in convertible notes are secured by the Company's assets, including the
Company's inventory, accounts receivable and intellectual property. Moreover,
the Company has a call option under the terms of the notes. The call option
provides the Company with the right to prepay all of the outstanding convertible
notes at any time, provided there is no event of default by the Company and its
stock is trading at or below $.10 per share. An event of default includes the
failure by the Company to pay the principal or interest on the convertible notes
when due or to timely file a registration statement as required by the Company
or obtain effectiveness with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the
registration statement. Prepayment of the convertible notes is to be made in
cash equal to either (a) 125% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest
for prepayments occurring within 30 days following the issue date of the notes;
(b) 130% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments
occurring between 31 and 60 days following the issue date of the notes; or (c)
145% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring
after the 60th day
following the issue date of the notes.
The
warrants are exercisable until seven years from the date of issuance at a
purchase price of $.001 per share. The investors may exercise the warrants on a
cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the warrants are not
then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. In the event
the investors exercise the warrants on a cashless basis, the Company will not
receive any proceeds therefrom. In addition, the exercise price of the warrants
will be adjusted in the event the Company issues common stock at a price below
market, with the exception of any securities issued as of the date of the
warrants or issued in connection with the convertible notes issued pursuant to
the securities purchase agreement.
The
noteholders have agreed to restrict their ability to convert their convertible
notes or exercise their warrants and receive shares of the Company's common
stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the
aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed
4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. However, the
noteholders may repeatedly sell shares of common stock in order to reduce their
ownership percentage, and subsequently convert additional convertible notes,
provided, however, that such conversions do not exceed $75,000 per calendar
month, or the average daily dollar volume calculated during the ten business
days prior to conversion multiplied by the number of trading days of that
calendar month, per calendar month.
The
Company is required to register the shares of its common stock issuable upon the
conversion of the convertible notes and the exercise of the warrants that were
issued to the noteholders pursuant to the securities purchase agreement the
Company entered in to on December 24, 2007. The registration statement must be
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days of the December
24, 2007 closing date and the effectiveness of the registration is to be within
135 days of such closing date. Penalties of 2% of the outstanding principal
balance of the convertible notes plus accrued interest are to be applied for
each month the registration is not effective within the required time. The
penalty may be paid in cash or stock at the Company's option.
June 16, 2008 Sale of $310,000 in
Callable Secured Convertible Notes: To obtain additional
funding for the Company's ongoing operations, the Company entered into a fifth
securities purchase agreement on June 16, 2008 with three accredited investors
for the sale of (i) $310,000 in convertible notes and (ii) warrants to purchase
10,000,000 shares of its common stock. The sale of the convertible
notes and warrants is to occur in three traunches and the investors are
obligated to provide the Company with an aggregate of $310,000 as
follows:
|
•
|
$110,000
were disbursed on June 16, 2008;
|
|
•
|
$100,000
were disbursed on July 14, 2008 after the Company filed a Schedule 14A
preliminary proxy statement for a reverse stock split with the Securities
and Exchange Commission; and
|
|
•
|
$100,000
will be disbursed upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock
split.
|
Under the
terms of the June 16, 2008 securities purchase agreement, the Company agreed
that it would not, without the prior written consent of a majority-in-interest
of the investors, negotiate or contract with any party to obtain additional
equity financing (including debt financing with an equity component) that
involves (i) the issuance of common stock at a discount to the market price of
the common stock on the date of issuance (taking into account the value of any
warrants or options to acquire common stock in connection therewith), (ii) the
issuance of convertible securities that are convertible into an indeterminate
number of shares of common stock, or (iii) the issuance of warrants during the
lock-up period beginning June 16, 2008 and ending on the later of (a) 270
days from June 16, 2008, or (b) 180 days from the date the registration
statement is declared effective.
In
addition, the Company agreed not to conduct any equity financing (including debt
financing with an equity component) during the period beginning June 16, 2008
and ending two years after the end of the above lock-up period unless it first
provided each investor an option to purchase its pro-rata share (based on the
ratio of each investor's purchase under the securities purchase agreement) of
the securities being offered in any proposed equity financing. Each
investor must be provided written notice describing any proposed equity
financing at least 20 business days prior to the closing of such proposed equity
financing and the option must be extended to each investor during the 15-day
period following delivery of such notice.
The
$310,000 in convertible notes bear interest at 8% per annum from the date of
issuance. Interest is computed on the basis of a 365-day year and is
payable quarterly in cash, with six months of interest payable up
front. The interest rate resets to zero percent for any month in
which the stock price is greater than 125% of the initial market price, or
$.0275, for each trading day during that month. Any amount of
principal or interest on the callable secured convertible notes that is not paid
when due will bear interest at the rate of 15% per annum from the date due
thereof until such amount is paid. The convertible notes mature in
three years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into the Company's
common stock at the noteholders' option, at the lower of (i) $.02 or (ii) 45% of
the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the common stock on
the OTC Bulletin Board for the 20 trading days before but not including the
conversion date. Accordingly, there is no limit on the number of
shares into which the notes may be converted.
The
$310,000 in convertible notes are secured by the Company's assets, including the
Company's inventory, accounts receivable and intellectual
property. Moreover, the Company has a call option under the
terms of the notes. The call option provides the Company with the
right to prepay all of the outstanding convertible notes at any time, provided
there is no event of default by the Company and its stock is trading at or below
$.02 per share. An event of default includes the failure by the
Company to pay the principal or interest on the convertible notes when due or to
timely file a registration statement as required by the Company or obtain
effectiveness with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the registration
statement. Prepayment of the convertible notes is to be made in cash
equal to either (a) 125% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for
prepayments occurring within 30 days following the issue date of the notes; (b)
130% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring
between 31 and 60 days following the issue date of the notes; or (c) 145% of the
outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring after the
60th
day following the issue date of the notes.
The
warrants are exercisable until seven years from the date of issuance at a
purchase price of $.001 per share. The investors may exercise the
warrants on a cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the
warrants are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration
statement. In the event the investors exercise the warrants on a
cashless basis, the Company will not receive any proceeds
therefrom. In addition, the exercise price of the warrants will be
adjusted in the event the Company issues common stock at a price below market,
with the exception of any securities issued as of the date of the warrants or
issued in connection with the convertible notes issued pursuant to the
securities purchase agreement.
The
noteholders have agreed to restrict their ability to convert their convertible
notes or exercise their warrants and receive shares of the Company's common
stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the
aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed
4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common
stock. However, the noteholders may repeatedly sell shares of common
stock in order to reduce their ownership percentage, and subsequently convert
additional convertible notes, provided, however, that such conversions do not
exceed $75,000 per calendar month, or the average daily dollar volume calculated
during the ten business days prior to conversion multiplied by the number of
trading days of that calendar month, per calendar month.
The
Company is required to register the shares of its common stock issuable upon the
conversion of the convertible notes and the exercise of the warrants that were
issued to the noteholders pursuant to the securities purchase agreement the
Company entered in to on June 16, 2008. The registration statement
must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days of the
June 16, 2008 closing date and the effectiveness of the registration is to be
within 135 days of such closing date. Penalties of 2% of the
outstanding principal balance of the convertible notes plus accrued interest are
to be applied for each month the registration is not effective within the
required time. The penalty may be paid in cash or stock at the
Company's option.
August 29, 2008 Issuance of $191,913
in Callable Convertible Notes: On August 29, 2008, the Company was
notified by the holders of the convertible notes that there was a past due
interest owing on the outstanding convertible notes. The total amount of
interest owed was $191,913. To pay this interest, the noteholders were willing
to accept $191,913 in additional convertible notes due on August 29,
2011. Accordingly, on August 29, 2008, the Company issued $191,913 in
convertible notes to the noteholders as full payment of the past due
interest.
The
$191,913 in convertible notes bear interest at 2% per annum from August 29,
2008. Interest is computed on the basis of a 365-day year and is payable
quarterly in cash. Any amount of principal or interest on the callable secured
convertible notes that is not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of
15% per annum from the date due thereof until such amount is paid. The
convertible notes mature on August 29, 2011, and are convertible into the
Company's common stock at the noteholders' option, at the lower of (i) $.02 or
(ii) 45% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the
common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board for the 20 trading days before but not
including the conversion date. Accordingly, there is no limit on the number of
shares into which the notes may be converted.
The
$191,913 in convertible notes have a call option under the terms of the notes.
The call option provides the Company with the right to prepay all of the
outstanding convertible notes at any time, provided there is no event of default
by the Company and its stock is trading at or below $.00431 per share. An event
of default includes the failure by the Company to pay the principal or interest
on the convertible notes when due. Prepayment of the convertible notes is to be
made in cash equal to either (a) 135% of the outstanding principal and accrued
interest for prepayments occurring within 30 days following the issue date of
the notes; (b) 145% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for
prepayments occurring between 31 and 90 days following the issue date of the
notes; or (c) 150% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for
prepayments occurring after the 90th day
following the issue date of the notes.
The
noteholders have agreed to restrict their ability to convert their convertible
notes and receive shares of the Company's common stock such that the number of
shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after
such conversion does not exceed 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares
of common stock. However, the noteholders may repeatedly sell shares of common
stock in order to reduce their ownership percentage, and subsequently convert
additional convertible notes, provided, however, that such conversions do not
exceed the average daily dollar volume calculated during the ten business days
prior to conversion multiplied by the number of trading days of that calendar
month, per calendar month.
Adjustable Conversion Price
of Convertible Notes
The
callable secured convertible notes are convertible into shares of the Company's
common stock at a 55% discount to the trading price of the common stock prior to
the conversion. The significant downward pressure on the price of the
common stock as the noteholders convert and sell material amounts of common
stock could encourage short sales by investors. This could place
further downward pressure on the price of the common stock. The
noteholders could sell common stock into the market in anticipation of covering
the short sale by converting their securities, which could cause further
downward pressure on the stock price. In addition, not only the sale
of shares issued upon conversion or exercise of notes, warrants and options, but
also the mere perception that these sales could occur, may have a depressive
effect on the market price of the common stock.
Possible Dilution to
Stockholders
The
issuance of shares upon conversion of convertible notes and exercise of warrants
may result in substantial dissolution to the interests of other stockholders
since the holders of the convertible notes may ultimately convert and sell the
full amount issuable upon conversion. Although the noteholders may
not convert their callable secured convertible notes and/or exercise their
warrants if such conversion or exercise price would cause them to own more than
4.99% of the Company's outstanding common stock, this restriction does not
prevent the noteholders from converting and/or exercising some of their holdings
and then converting the rest of their holdings. In this way, the
noteholders could sell more than this limit while never holding more than this
limit. There is no upper limit on the number of shares that may be
issued, which will have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity
interest and voting power of holders of the Company's common stock.
