Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The accompanying financial statements of Dais Analytic Corporation are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the Companys financial position, results of operations, stockholders deficit and cash flows as of and for the dates and periods presented. The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information.
The unaudited financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted although the Company generally believes that the disclosures are adequate to ensure that the information presented is not misleading. The accompanying financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2010. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future quarters or for the entire year ending December 31, 2010.
1. Background Information
Dais Analytic Corporation (the Company), a New York corporation, has developed and is commercializing applications using its nano-structure polymer technology. The first commercial product is an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) (cores and systems) for use in commercial Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) applications. In addition to direct sales, the Company licenses its nano-structured polymer technology to strategic partners in the aforementioned application and is in various stages of development with regard to other applications employing its base technologies. The Company was incorporated in April 1993 with its corporate headquarters located in Odessa, Florida.
2. Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company incurred a net loss of $555,692 and $1,700,410, respectively. As of September 30, 2010, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $33,862,561, negative working capital of $3,390,029 and a stockholders deficit of $3,428,140. As of the date of this report, the Company was in default on promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000. In view of these matters, there is substantial doubt that the Company will continue as a going concern. The recoverability of recorded property and equipment, intangible assets, and other asset amounts shown in the accompanying financial statements is dependent upon the Companys ability to continue as a going concern and to achieve a level of profitability. The Company intends on financing its future activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities and possible exercise of warrants with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes and proceeds from licensing agreements until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, (b) the financial position at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and (c) cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, have been made.

Table of Contents
The significant accounting policies followed are:
Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Inventory Inventory consists of raw materials and is stated at the lower of cost, determined by first-in, first-out method, or market. Market is determined based on the net realizable value, with appropriate consideration given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration and other factors.
Revenue recognition Generally, the Company recognizes revenue for its products upon shipment to customers, provided no significant obligations remain and collection is probable. Our ConsERV product typically carries a warranty of two years for all parts contained therein with the exception of the energy recovery ventilator core which typically carries a 10 year warranty. The warranty includes replacement of defective parts. The Company has recorded an accrual of approximately $7,400 for future warranty expenses at September 30, 2010. Revenue derived from the sale of licenses is deferred and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the license, or until the license arrangement is terminated.
Employee stock-based compensation The Company recognizes all share-based awards to employees, including grants of employee stock options, as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The value of each award is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option model with the following assumptions for awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 |
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 |
|||||||
Dividend rate |
0 % | 0 % | ||||||
Risk free interest rate |
1.96% 3.68 % | 1.65% 3.21 % | ||||||
Expected term |
5 10 years | 5 10 years | ||||||
Expected volatility |
96% 107 % | 92% 105 % |
The basis for the above assumptions are as follows: the dividend rate is based upon the Companys history of dividends; the risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant; the expected term was calculated based on the Companys historical pattern of options granted and the period of time they are expected to be outstanding; and expected volatility was calculated by review of a peer companys historical activity.
Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based on historical experience of forfeitures, the Company estimated forfeitures at 0% for each the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Deferred revenue Deferred revenue consists of payments received for products in advance of shipment to customers and also payments received under license agreements that have not yet been recognized as revenue.
Research and development costs Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs primarily related to the development of new products and improving the efficiency of our existing products and production process. Such costs include salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, materials and supplies. All costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred. The Company expensed approximately $116,600 and $242,400 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.
Non-employee stock-based compensation The Company accounts for stock based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services and financing arrangements, as prescribed by FASB ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable. The fair value of common stock issued for services is based on the closing stock price on the date the common stock was issued. The fair value of warrants issued in 2010 and 2009 was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following
8
Table of Contents
assumptions: expected life in years: 5-10 years; estimated volatility 96 - 100% and 92% - 93%, respectively; risk-free interest rate: 2.38% - 2.57% and 1.65% - 1.92%, respectively; dividend yield: 0%.
Financial instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entitys own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
| Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2010. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Companys notes payable is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms which is not significantly different from its stated value. The Companys Level 1 financial assets consist of cash equivalents of $5,226 and $5,235 as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
Income taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed on the basis of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based upon enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company accounts for tax uncertainties under the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 Uncertainty in Income Taxes (ASC 740-10). The Company has not recognized a liability as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there is no unrecognized benefit since the date of adoption. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.
Loss per share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of notes payable to common stock. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered antidilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. At September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had 38,302,769 and 37,791,597 potentially dilutive common shares, respectively, which were not included in the computation of loss per share.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by FASB (including EITF), the AICPA and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Companys present or future financial statements.

Convertible Notes
During December 2007 and January 2008, the Company issued convertible promissory notes (the Convertible Notes) and warrants to purchase common stock in exchange for proceeds totaling $2,950,000. The Convertible Notes bear interest at nine percent per annum and have stated maturity dates from December 2008 to January 2009. The Convertible Notes are repayable in cash or convertible into shares of the Companys stock at a rate of one share per $0.20 of outstanding principal and interest. Warrants to purchase 14,750,000 shares of the Companys common stock accompanying the Convertible Notes are, subject to certain limitations, exercisable at $0.25 per share, vest immediately, and expire between December 2012 and January 2013.
The Convertible Notes contain an embedded conversion feature. The Company accounted for this conversion feature and the detachable warrants by allocating the proceeds from issuance of the convertible notes to the beneficial conversion feature and the warrants based on their relative fair values. The Company concluded that the warrants should be recorded as a component of permanent equity based on applicable accounting guidance.
To recognize the fair value of the warrants, the Company discounted the notes and increased additional paid in capital. The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of $1,383,437 and discount of $1,566,563 related to the warrants were amortized over the term of the Convertible Notes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recognized interest expense from the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature and discount of $0 and $30,136, respectively. No interest expense was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as the beneficial conversion feature and debt discount were fully amortized as of March 31, 2009.
During the year ended December 31, 2009 eighteen holders converted their Convertible Notes, having an aggregate principal balance of $2,350,000 plus accrued interest of $361,600, into 13,557,993 shares of common stock. Some of the holders converted during periods in which we were offering an additional warrant as an inducement to convert. In accordance with said offers we issued additional warrants to purchase 1,665,000 shares of common stock, exercisable immediately at $0.25 per share and valued at $126,367, and 575,000 warrants, exercisable immediately at $0.75 per share valued at $286,641 which was recorded as interest expense during the twelve months ended December 31, 2009.
During 2009, four investors holding Convertible Notes with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of approximately $450,000 at December 31, 2008 notified the Company that they were asserting their rights to receive payment of the principal and interest pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes. In June of 2009, three of these investors, holding an aggregate principal note balance of $250,000, entered into a confession of judgment with the

Company. Under that agreement, the three investors had the right, should the Company fail to pay all principal and interest due pursuant to their Convertible Notes on or before September 11, 2009, to file the confession of judgment with the court and seek to secure a judgment against the Company in the amount of all principal and interest due under their Convertible Notes together with the reasonable cost and expense of collection. All accrued interest and principal related to the three Convertible Notes, $289,803 in the aggregate, was paid in full by the Company on or before September 11, 2009. In July 2009, the fourth investor, holding a Convertible Note in the principal amount of $200,000, agreed to extend said note to September 2009. In November 2009, this investor and the Company modified the Convertible note to extend the maturity date of said note to July 2010, pay the principal amount due in eight monthly installments commencing December of 2009, end the accrual of interest as of November 20, 2009 and convert the $34,861 in interest due under the Convertible Note as of November 20, 2009 into 170,137 shares of the Companys common stock.

OVERVIEW
We have developed and patented a nano-structure polymer technology, which is being commercialized in products based on the functionality of these materials. We believe the applications of our technology have promise in a number of diverse market segments and products.
The initial product focus of the Company is ConsERV, an energy recovery ventilator. Our primary focus is to expand our marketing and sales of our ConsERV product.
We also have new product applications in various developmental stages. We believe that three of these product applications, including an advanced air conditioning system which is projected to use less energy and emits fewer emissions than current HVAC equipment, a sea-water desalination product and an electrical energy storage device, can be brought to market in the foreseeable future if we receive adequate capital funding.
REVENUES
We generate our revenues primarily from the sale of our ConsERV products in residential and commercial HVAC markets. Sales channels for our ConsERV products include OEMs, distributors, retailers, and consumers. We also occasionally license our technology to strategic partners and sell various prototypes of other product applications that use our polymer technology.
Our revenue growth is dependent on continued sales from (i) more seasoned independent sales representatives, (ii) a greater number of independent sales representatives, (iii) fulfilling the ventilation needs of the growing energy consultant marketplace which work to lower their clients energy costs and emissions, and (iv) from the Companys own customer direct sales activities, all of which focus on the sale of product primarily into the commercial user

Table of Contents
marketplace with a growing emphasis on low rise structures (small commercial buildings, multi-purpose structures, and residences). In addition, the Company and its independent sales representative sales force will work to secure orders for ConServ core only sales (i) from HVAC equipment manufacturers, (ii) from distribution firms servicing the equipment needs of the HVAC installer community, and (iii) creating license/supply relationships to HVAC or ERV OEMs preferably having a dominant presence in existing direct related sales channels.
COST OF SALES
Our cost of sales consists primarily of materials (including freight), direct labor, and outsourced manufacturing expenses incurred to produce our ConsERV products.
We are dependent on third parties to manufacture the key components needed for our nano-structured based materials and value added products made with these materials. Accordingly, a suppliers failure to supply components in a timely manner, or to supply components that meet our quality, quantity and cost requirements or our technical specifications, or the inability to obtain alternative sources of these components on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to us, would create delays in production of our products or increase our unit costs of production. Certain of the components contain proprietary products of our suppliers, or the processes used by our suppliers to manufacture these components are proprietary. If we are required to replace any of our suppliers, while we should be able to obtain comparable components from alternative suppliers at comparable costs, this would create a delay in production.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related benefits, share-based compensation, professional fees, marketing and other infrastructure costs such as insurance, information technology and occupancy expenses.

These increases were mainly attributable to the Company implementing an overall strategic initiative to improve sales by retaining more productive sales representatives. During the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 three and four customers accounted for approximately 54% (three customers represented the following percentages of sales 32%, 11% and 11%) and 78% (the four customers represented the following percentages of sales 36%, 19%, 13% and 10%) of revenues, respectively.

COST OF GOODS SOLD: Cost of goods sold increased $508,675 to $755,034 and represented 79% of revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $246,359 or 63% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in cost of goods sold during 2010 is primarily due to the following: the Company reallocated salaries to reflect the assignment of employee cost between production and research and development and based on current payroll levels there was an approximate $54,000 increase, the Company has also had increased production costs due to hiring new vendors and contract labor to ensure quality production, which increased costs by approximately $34,000. There was an overall increase in freight and delivery costs of $34,000 due to increased vendor prices and the increase in sales.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: Selling, general and administrative expenses of $697,099 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased $296,288 from $400,811 in the same period of 2009 or 74%. The Company incurred increased costs of new product development and modifications to ConsERV by approximately $116,600, an increase in payroll expenses of $58,700 for the addition of two new employees and professional fees have increased by approximately $67,700 due to additional consulting agreements entered into during 2010.

The decrease in expense is due to additional interest expense relating to warrants issued in the three months ended September 30, 2009 to induce conversion of principal and interest accrued on convertible notes.
NET LOSS: Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased by $118,765 to $555,692 from $436,927 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Summary of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 Results of Operations
REVENUES: Total revenues (excluding license fees) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $2,308,298 and $1,036,613, respectively, an increase of $1,271,685 or 123%. The increase in revenues in the 2010 period is primarily attributable to recognition of $300,000 of revenues from the Companys nanotechnology clean water process with CAST. In addition, the Company increased the sales price of the ConsERV products, introduced a new product to the ConsERV line generating additional sales in a new price category and increased the number and size of its sales transactions in 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, three and four customers accounted for approximately 39% (three customers represented the following percentages of sales 15%, 14% and 10%) and 72% (the four customers represented the following percentages of sales 33%, 16%, 13% and 10%) of revenues, respectively.
COST OF GOODS SOLD: Cost of goods sold increased $935,653 to $1,626,556 and represented 70% of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $690,903 or 63% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in cost of goods sold in 2010 is primarily a factor of the increase in sales. The increase in cost of goods sold during 2010 is primarily due to the following: the Company reallocated salaries to reflect the assignment of employee cost between production and research and development and based on current payroll levels there was an approximate $90,800 increase, the Company has also had increased production costs due to hiring new vendors and contract labor to ensure quality production, which increased costs by approximately $68,000.

INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense was $157,669 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $454,721 for the same period of 2009, a decrease of $297,052. The decrease in expense is due to approximately $266,000 of interest expense relating to warrants issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to induce conversion of principal and interest accrued on two convertible notes. The decrease is also was due to the overall reduction in debt outstanding due to payment or conversion of the notes to equity.
NET LOSS: Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased by $270,300 to $1,700,410 from $1,430,110 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in the net loss is primarily due to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense as discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company finances its operations primarily through sales of its ConsERV products, sales of its common stock, the issuance of convertible promissory notes, unsecured promissory notes and license agreements.
Our historical revenues have not been sufficient to sustain our operations. We have not achieved profitability in any year since inception and we expect to continue to incur net losses and negative cash flow from operations until we can produce sufficient revenues to cover our costs, which are not expected for several years. Furthermore, even if we achieve our goal of selling a greater number of ConsERV units, we anticipate that we will continue to incur losses until we can cost-effectively produce and sell our products to a wider market. Our profitability will require the successful commercialization of our ConsERV products and any future products we develop. No assurances can be given when this will occur.
As of September 30, 2010, $150,000 of principal on the Convertible Notes was outstanding, of which $50,000 is currently past maturity. On November 4, 2010, an investor elected to convert his 9% secured convertible note of $100,000 principal and the related accrued interest $25,077 into 625,384 shares of Companys Common Stock. Said investor also received an additional five-year warrant to purchase up to 62,538 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $.75 per share in consideration for converting his 9% secured convertible note.
We cannot currently pay our outstanding promissory notes, including the Convertible Note and the $1,870,000 in unsecured promissory notes due December 31, 2010 without severely impacting our ability to continue operations and the Company may not be able to secure additional financing to repay the notes on acceptable terms, if at all. As an alternative, management may attempt to renegotiate the repayment terms of the notes and seek extension of the maturity dates. If we are able to renegotiate the terms there is no guarantee that the terms would be favorable to the Company. Unfavorable terms, in either a financing transaction or debt renegotiation, would adversely impact our business, financial condition and/or results of operations. In the event (i) we are unable to secure additional financing sufficient to pay these notes, (ii) the Convertible Note is not converted into shares of our common stock pursuant to its terms, (iii) we are unable to renegotiate the terms of the notes, or (iv) we are unable to generate sufficient funds from operations to repay these loans, the Convertible Note holder will have the option to foreclose on our patents and patent applications securing the Convertible Note which may result in the failure of our business and, subject to the terms of the notes, the unsecured note holder has the option to seek a judgment against our unsecured assets which will have a detrimental impact on our business.
In July 2009, we secured a loan of $300,000 from an investor. Pursuant to the terms of the note, we are to pay the note holder simple interest at the rate of seven percent per annum commencing on July 17, 2009 with all interest and principal due thereunder payable in cash on or before January 16, 2011.
The Company secured loans from two investors in the principal amounts of $250,000 and $620,000. The loan amounts were received by the Company on December 31, 2009 and February 18, 2010, respectively, and the Company issued the lenders unsecured promissory notes with respect to said loans on February 19, 2010. The notes were amended to extend the term to December 31, 2010, the Company is to pay the holders simple interest at the rate of ten percent per annum commencing on the date of issuance with all interest and principal due and payable in cash on or before December 31, 2010.

Any future financing may result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders, and future debt financing, if available, may include restrictive covenants or may require us to grant a lender a security interest in any of our assets not already subject to an existing security interest. To the extent that we attempt to raise additional funds through third party collaborations and/or licensing arrangements, we may be required to relinquish some rights to our technologies or products currently in various stages of development, or grant licenses or other rights on terms that are not favorable to us. Any failure by us to timely procure additional financing or investment adequate to fund our ongoing operations, including planned product development initiatives, clinical studies and commercialization efforts, will have material adverse consequences on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We will be dependent upon our existing cash of $249,056 at September 30, 2010, product sales, collection of receivables and additional debt and equity issuances to finance our operations through the next 12 months. We need to raise additional capital of approximately $13 million to $18 million, net of costs, during the next eighteen months, the proceeds of which will be used to pay down existing debt, secure new patents for innovative applications of our core technology, purchase equipment, and fund our working capital requirements through December 2011. We currently have no commitments for any such funds. If we are unable to raise the funds we may delay development plans and reduce expenditures wherever possible.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company incurred a net loss of $555,692 and $1,700,410, and has incurred significant losses since inception. As of September 30, 2010, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $33,862,561, negative working capital of $3,390,029 and a stockholders deficit of $3,428,140. The Company used $1,332,591 and $536,435 of cash from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which was funded by proceeds from debt and equity financings. There is no assurance that such financing will be available in the future. In view of these matters, there is substantial doubt that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is currently pursuing the following sources of short and long-term working capital:
1. | We are currently holding preliminary discussions with parties who are interested in licensing, purchasing the rights to, or establishing a joint venture to commercialize, certain applications of our technology. |
2. | We are seeking growth capital from certain strategic and/or government (grant) related sources. In addition to said capital, these sources may, pursuant to any agreements that may be developed in conjunction with such funding, assist in the product definition and design, roll-out, and channel penetration of our products. As part of this step we will attempt to take advantage of key programs associated with the recently enacted American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. |
The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is highly dependent on our ability to obtain additional sources of cash flow sufficient to fund our working capital requirements. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to secure such cash flow. Any failure by us to timely procure additional financing or investment adequate to fund our ongoing operations, including planned product development initiatives and commercialization efforts, will have material adverse consequences on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The status of our legal proceedings, as disclosed in our Annual Report remains unchanged.
The Company is party to lawsuits from time to time arising in the ordinary course of its business.
