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 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 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 equivalent shares are excluded from the computation when their effect is
anti-dilutive. Other common stock equivalents consisting of options and warrants
to purchase 65,334,392 and
32,059,392 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 9,540,235,000 and 331,682,625 shares of
common stock at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, have not been included in
loss periods because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
The
following table is a reconciliation of the basic earnings per share for the
three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007:

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.
The
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.

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
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 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) $.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.
The
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 $.02 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

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

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 11, 2007

converted.
The
$500,000 in convertible notes are secured by the Company's assets, including the
Company's inventory, accounts receivable and intellectual property. Moreover,

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 and60 days following the issue date of the notes; or (c)

The
warrants are exercisable until seven years from the date of issuance at a
purchase price of $.005 per share. The investors may exercise the warrants on a
cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the warrants are not

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 11, 2007. The registration statement must be filed
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.

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 $339,000, net of the
unamortized debt discount of $1,699,000. Interest expense on the
Notes totaled $1,171,000 for the period ended December 31, 2005, which consisted
of $462,000 related to the conversion of a portion of the Notes into 66,880,000
shares of the Company's common stock. The remaining $709,000 recorded
as interest expense consisted of $339,000 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 $1,367,000, net of the
unamortized debt discount of $1,288,000. Interest expense on the

of $383,000 related to the conversion of a portion of the Notes into 105,570,000
shares of the Company's common stock. The remaining $776,000 recorded
as interest expense consisted of $569,000 of normal accretion of the Note
discount and $207,000 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 $570,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006, which
consisted of a decrease in the fair value of the embedded derivatives of
$485,000 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 $570,000 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 $3,039,000, net of the
unamortized debt discount of $889,000. Interest expense on the Notes
totaled $1,084,000 for the period ended December 31, 2007, which consisted of
$366,000 related to the conversion of a portion of the Notes into 343,017,000
shares of the Company's common stock. The remaining $718,000 recorded
as interest expense consisted of $499,000 on normal accretion of the Note
discount and $219,000 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 $418,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007, which
consisted of a decrease in the fair value of the embedded derivatives of
$444,000 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 $418,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007.
At March
31, 2008, the carrying amount on the Notes was $3,816,000, net of the
unamortized debt discount of $679,000. Interest expense on the Notes
totaled $287,000 for the period ended March 31, 2008, which consisted of
$112,000 related to the conversion of a portion of the Notes into 253,893,183
shares of the Company's common stock. The remaining $175,000 recorded
as interest expense consisted of $98,000 on normal accretion of the Note
discount and $77,000 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 $126,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2008, which
consisted of a decrease in the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $90,000
and the fair value of the warrants of $36,000. Accordingly, the
Company recorded a gain on derivative valuation to the statement of operations
of $126,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 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, and December 24, 2007 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 $3,816,094 principal amount of the
convertible notes on March 31, 2008 (consisting of $5,139,010 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, and December
24, 2007, plus $389,010 in convertible notes issued on December 19, 2007 in
payment of past due interest on the notes, less $1,322,916 in notes converted
during the period from June 12,2005 to March 31, 2008) and a conversion price of
$.001 per share with a 40% discount, the number of shares issuable upon
conversion would be:
$3,816,094/$.001
x 60% = 6,360,157,000 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,
and December 24, 2007 is essentially limitless. The following is an example of
the amount of shares of common stock that are issuable upon conversion of
$3,816,094 principal amount of the convertible notes (including accrued
interest), based on market prices 25%, 50%, and 75% below the market price, as
of March 31, 2008 of $.001 with a 40% 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
40% 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. 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 $3,816,094 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.
Preferred Stock
Conversions
Under the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation, holders of the Company's Class A and
Class B preferred stock have the right to convert such stock into shares of the
Company's common stock at the rate of 1.2 shares of common stock for each share
of preferred stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 no shares of
Series A preferred stock and no shares of Series B preferred stock were
converted to the Company's common stock.
Holders
of Series D 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 three months ended March 31, 2008 no shares of
Series D preferred stock were converted to the Company's common
stock.
Holders
of Series E preferred have the right to convert such stock into shares of the
Company's common stock at the rate of 53.3 shares of common stock for each share
of preferred stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 no shares of
Series E preferred stock were converted to the Company's common
stock.
Holders
of Series F preferred have the right to convert such stock into shares of the
Company's common stock at the rate of 53.3 shares of common stock for each share
of preferred stock. During the three months ended March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 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.

1,400,000,000 shares.
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.
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 and surgical 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2008, Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,
2007
Net sales
for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased by $168,000, or 42%, to
$229,000 as compared to $397,000 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 A/B Scan
Diagnostics, the P2000 A-Scan Biometric Ultrasound Analyzer, the P2200 and P2500
Pachymetric Analyzers, and the Blood Flow Analyzer™.
For the
three months ended March 31, 2008, sales from the Company’s diagnostic products
totaled $185,000, or 80% of total revenues, compared to $370,000, or 93% of
total revenues for the same period of 2007. The remaining 20% of sales, or
$44,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008, was from parts,
disposables, and service revenue.
Sales of
the P60 UBM Ultrasound Biomicroscope decreased by $149,000 to $5,000, or 2% of
total revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $154,000,
or 39% of total revenues, for the same period last year. Sales of the
Blood Flow Analyzer™ decreased by $27,000 to $3,000, or 1% of total revenues,
for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to net sales of $30,000, or
8% of total revenues, during the same period in 2007. Sales from the
P37 and P37-II A/B Scan Ocular Ultrasound Diagnostic devices decreased by
$50,000 to $41,000, or 18% of total revenues for the three months ended March
31, 2008, compared to $91,000, or 23% of total revenues, during the same period
in 2007. Sales of the P2200,and P2500 Pachymetric Analyzers, and the
P2000 A-Scan Biometric Ultrasound Analyzer decreased by $19,000 to $7,000, or 3%
of total revenues, for the three month period ended March 31, 2008,
compared to $26,000, or 6% of total revenues, for the same period of
2007. Combined sales of the LD 400 and TKS 5000 Autoperimetry Systems
increased by $61,000 to $130,000, or 57% of the total revenues, for the three
months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $69,000, or 17% of total revenues, for
the same period of 2007.
Sales
have been lower during the three months ended March 31, 2008 for the Company due
to a variety of reasons. Sales of the P60 UBM Ultrasound
Biomicroscope were reduced primarily due to the introduction of new software for
the P60, which received FDA 510(k) premarket approval on May 26, 2005 that
allowed the device to be sold in the United States. The hardware
problems have since been resolved and the Company continues to work on 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 A/B Scan Diagnostics, the 2200 and 2500
Pachymetric Analyzers, the P2000 A-Scan Biometric Ultrasound Analyzer, and the
Lace Glaid through increased clinical awareness, increased product development,
improved marketing plans and strategic product replacement, and ongoing
development of the LD400 perimeter and the Lace Glaid. The Blood Flow
Analyzer™ is expected to have a new CPT reimbursement code for Medicare
insurance providers issued during the latter part of 2008 or early 2009,
reversing the downward sales trend experienced by the Blood Flow
Analyzer™.
Gross
profit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased by 5% to 38% of total
revenues, compared to 43% 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 increased by $68,000, or 59%, to $183,000, for the three
months ended March 31, 2008, from $115,000 for the comparable period in
2007. This increase was due primarily to an increase in domestic and
international marketing expenses, training expenses, related travel expenses and
additional staff associated with the introduction of the Lace
Glaid.
General
and administrative expenses increased by $31,000, or 16%, to $220,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2008, from $189,000 for the comparable period in
2007. This increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries,
primarily to merit increases of existing employees, as well as the addition of
staff necessary for the introduction of the Lace Glaid.
Also,
during the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2008, the Company
has not increased the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Research,
development and service expenses increased by $24,000, or 38%, to $88,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $64,000 in the same period of
2007. This increase was mainly due to increased costs relating to the
development of the revised P60 UBM software version, the increased level of
marketing new products, and the addition of staff for product
marketing.
Due to
the Company's ongoing cash flow difficulties, most of the Company's
vendors
and suppliers were contacted during
2007 and 2006 with attempts to negotiate reduced payments and settlement of
outstanding accounts payable. Although some vendors
refused to negotiate and demanded payment in full, some vendors were willing to
settle for a reduced amount. The accounts payable forgiven by vendors and
suppliers resulted in a gain of $-0- during both of the periods ended March 31,
2008 and 2007. In 2008 the Company is continuing its negotiations with certain
vendors and suppliers.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
Company used $291,000 in cash in operating activities for the three months ended
March 31, 2008, compared to $140,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2007. The increase in cash used for operating activities for the
three months ended March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to no cash used
for investment activities for the same period in 2007. Net cash used in
financing activities was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compare
to $-0- in the same period in 2007. The Company had working capital of $283,000
as of March 31, 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
March 31, 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
March 31, 2008, the Company had accounts payable of $416,000, a significant
portion of which was over 90 days past due, compared to accounts payable of
$411,000 as of March 31, 2007. The Company has contacted many of the vendors or
companies that have significant amounts of payables past due in an effort to
delay payment, renegotiate a reduced 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 more thorough and stringent credit approval, improved
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 20% of total outstanding receivables as of March 31, 2008,
compared to 12% of total outstanding receivables as of March 31,
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 March 31, 2008 and $1,320,000 at March 31, 2007, or 21% and 61%
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 $225,000.
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 FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB
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.

3. Controls and Procedures
|
a)
|
Evaluation
of disclosure controls and
procedures.
|
Under the
supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management,
including its principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of
its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), as of March 31, 2008. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s
principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as
of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures were effective and adequately designed to ensure that
the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the
reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
applicable rules and forms.
|
b)
|
Changes
in internal controls over financial
reporting.
|
During
the three months ended March 31, 2008, there has been no change in the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
PART
II Other Information
Item
1. Legal Proceedings
An action
was brought against the Company on September 11, 2000 by PhotoMed International,
Inc. and Daniel M. Eichenbaum, M.D. in the Third District Court of Salt Lake
County, State of Utah. The action involves an amount of royalties that are
allegedly due and owing to PhotoMed International, Inc. and Dr. Eichenbaum under
a license agreement dated July 7, 1993, with respect to the sale of certain
equipment, plus costs and attorneys' fees. Certain discovery has taken place and
the Company has paid royalties of $15,717, which the Company believes brings all
payments current as of the date of last payment on January 7, 2005. The Company
has been working with PhotoMed and Dr. Eichenbaum to ensure that the
calculations have been correctly made on the royalties paid as well as the
proper method of calculation for the future.
It is
anticipated that once the parties can agree on the correct calculations on the
royalties, the legal action will be dismissed. An issue in dispute
concerning the method of calculating royalties is whether royalties should be
paid on returned equipment. Since July 1, 2001, only one Photon™
laser system has been sold and no systems returned. Thus, the amount
of royalties due, according to the Company's calculations, is
$981. The Company made payment of this amount to Photomed and Dr.
Eichenbaum on January 5, 2005 and, as a result, seeks to have the legal action
dismissed. However, if the parties are unable to agree on a method
for calculating royalties, there is a risk that PhotoMed and Dr. Eichenbaum
might amend their complaint to request termination of the license agreement and,
if successful, the Company would lose its right to manufacture and sell the
Photon™ laser system.
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. The Company was engaged in settlement discussions with
CitiCorp until counsel for CitiCorp withdrew from the case. New
counsel for CitiCorp was appointed. After an initial meeting with new
counsel, the Company provided initial disclosures to the new
counsel.
On
December 27, 2007, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Larry
Hicks to settle the lawsuit Mr. Hicks brought against the Company for payments
due under a consulting agreement in the Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake
County, State of Utah (Civil No. 030922220). Under the terms of the
settlement agreement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Hicks a total of $20,000, of
which $10,000 has been paid. The remaining amount owing of $10,000 is
to be paid in quarterly installments of $2,500 each prior to the end of the next
four consecutive quarters, with the next payment due on or before June 30,
2008.
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.

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, 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 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.
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.
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.
Adjustable Conversion Price
of Convertible Notes
The
callable secured convertible notes are convertible into shares of the Company's
common stock at a 40% 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.
