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 six months ended June 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 equivalent shares are
excluded from the computation when their effect is anti-dilutive. Other common
stock equivalents consisting of options and warrants to purchase 75,334,392 and
46,059,392 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 27,428,785,714 and 826,857,373 shares of
common stock at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, have not been included in
loss periods because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

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.
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

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
$1,500,000 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

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

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

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.
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 $341,000, 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 $928,000 for the
period ended December 31, 2006, which consisted of $721,000 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 $3,100,000, net of the unamortized debt discount of
$816,000. Interest expense on the Notes totaled $991,000 for the
period ended December 31, 2007, which consisted of $772,000 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 June 30, 2008, the carrying amount
on the Notes was $3,400,000, net of the unamortized debt discount of
$440,000. Interest expense on the Notes totaled $515,000 for the
period ended June 30, 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 $361,000 on normal accretion of the Note discount and $154,000 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
$193,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2008, which consisted of a decrease
in the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $130,000 and the fair value of
the warrants of $63,000. Accordingly, the Company recorded a gain on
derivative valuation to the statement of operations of $189,000 for the quarter
ended June 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 $3,840,030 principal
amount of the convertible notes on June 30, 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,
December 24, 2007, and June 16, 2008, plus $389,010 in convertible notes issued
on December 19, 2007 in payment of past due interest on the notes, less
$1,408,980 in notes converted during the period from June 12, 2005 to June 30,
2008) and a conversion price of $.001 per share with a 55% discount, the number
of shares issuable upon conversion would be:
$3,840,030/$.000233
x 45% = 36,624,034,335 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, and June 16, 2008 is essentially limitless. The following is
an example of the amount of shares of common stock that are issuable upon
conversion of $3,840,030 principal amount of the convertible notes (including
accrued interest), based on market prices 25%, 50%, and 75% below the market
price, as of July 2, 2008 of $.0004 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. 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
$3,840,030 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
six months ended June 30, 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
six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 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
six months ended June 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.
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 June 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 June 30, 2008,
Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2007
Net sales for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 decreased by $47,000, or 18%, to $213,000 as compared to $260,000
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™.
For the three months ended June 30,
2008, sales from the Company’s diagnostic products totaled $185,000, or 87% of
total revenues, compared to $198,000, or 76% of total revenues for the same
period of 2007. The remaining 13% of sales, or $28,000 during the three months
ended June 30, 2008, was from parts, disposables, and service
revenue.
Sales of the P60 UBM Ultrasound
Biomicroscope decreased by $5,000 to $35,000, or 16% of total revenues, for the
three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $40,000, or 15% of total revenues,
for the same period last year. Sales of the Blood Flow Analyzer™
increased by $11,000 to $47,000, or 22% of total revenues, for the three months
ended June 30, 2008, compared to net sales of $36,000, or 14% 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 $27,000 to
$21,000, or 10% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008,
compared to $48,000, or 18% 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 $9,000 to $4,000, or 2%
of total revenues, for the three month period ended March 31, 2008,
compared to $13,000, or 5% of total revenues, for the same period of
2007. Combined sales of the LD 400 and TKS 5000 Autoperimetry Systems
increased by $17,000 to $78,000, or 37% of the total revenues, for the three
months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $61,000, or 23% of total revenues,
for the same period of 2007.
Sales have been lower during the
three months ended June 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 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
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 in 2009, reversing
the downward sales trend experienced by the Blood Flow Analyzer™.
Gross profit for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 was 43% of total revenues. This gross profit was
the same as the gross profit for the comparable period in 2007. 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 $29,000, or 18%, to $130,000, for the three months ended June 30,
2008, from $159,000 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 $51,000, or 17%, to $258,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2008, from $309,000 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
June 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 June 30, 2008, the Company has not increased the allowance
for doubtful accounts.
Research, development and service
expenses decreased by $64,000, or 51%, to $62,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2008, compared to $126,000in the same period of 2007. This
decrease was mainly due to a reduction of funding available for the marketing of
new products and a reduction in staff.
Six
Months ended June 30, 2008, Compared to Six Months ended June 30,
2007.
Net sales for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 decreased by $213,000, or 33%, to $443,000 as compared to $656,000
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™.
For the six months ended June 30,
2008, sales from the Company’s diagnostic products totaled $369,000, or 83% of
total revenues, compared to $568,000, or 87% of total revenues for the same
period of 2007. The remaining 17% of sales, or $74,000 during the six months
ended June 30, 2008, was from parts, disposables, and service
revenue.
Sales of the P60 UBM Ultrasound
Biomicroscope decreased by $155,000 to $40,000 or 9% of total revenues, for the
six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $195,000, or 30% of total revenues,
for the same period last year. Sales of the Blood Flow Analyzer™
decreased by $17,000 to $49,000 or 11% of total revenues, for the six months
ended June 30, 2008, compared to net sales of $66,000, or 10% 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 $78,000 to $61,000, or
14% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to
$139,000 or 21% 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 $28,000 to $11,000, or
2% of total revenues, for the three month period ended June 30, 2008, compared
to $39,000, or 6% of total revenues, for the same period of
2007. Combined sales of the LD 400 and TKS 5000 Autoperimetry Systems
increased by $78,000 to $208,000, or 47% of the total revenues, for the six
months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $130,000 or 20% of total revenues, for
the same period of 2007.
Sales have been lower during the six
months ended June 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

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 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 in 2009, reversing
the downward sales trend experienced by the Blood Flow Analyzer™.
Gross profit for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 decreased by 2% to 40% 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 $38,000, or 14%, to $311,000, for the six months ended June 30,
2008, from $273,000 for the comparable period in 2007. This increase
was due primarily to an increase in training expenses and related travel
expenses associated with the introduction of the Lace Perg.
General and administrative expenses
decreased by $12,000, or 2%, to $484,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008,
from $496,000 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 six months ended
June 30, 2008, the Company has not been able to collect receivables that were
previously allowed in the allowance for doubtful accounts. During the
six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company has not increased the allowance for
doubtful accounts.
Research, development and service
expenses decreased by $39,000, or 21%, to $151,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2008, compared to $190,000 in the same period of
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.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The Company used $364,000 in cash in
operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to
$720,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in cash
used for operating activities for the six months ended June 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 six months
ended June 30, 2008, compared to no cash used for investment activities for the
same period in 2007. Net cash used in financing activities was $110,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2008, compare to $1,000,000 in the same period in
2007. The Company had a working capital deficit of $37,000 as of June 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 June 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 June 30, 2008, the Company had
accounts payable of $544,000, a significant portion of which was over 90 days
past due, compared to accounts payable of $332,000 as of June 30,
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 32% of total outstanding
receivables as of June 30, 2008, compared to 15% of total outstanding
receivables as of June 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 June 30, 2008 and
$1,320,000 at June 30, 2007, or 21% and 57% 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
$2,500,000.
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 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.

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 June 30,
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 June
30, 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. 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.

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. 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.
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.
