Dais Analytic Corporation
Notes to Financial Statements

Background Information
|
Dais Analytic Corporation, a New York corporation, (the “Company”) 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.
The accompanying financial statements of the “Company” are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary to fairly state the Company’s 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 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, 2011 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2012. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future quarters or for the entire year ending December 31, 2012.
2.
|
Going Concern
|
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant losses since inception. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $37,692,052, negative working capital of $4,491,596 and a stockholders’ deficit of $4,641,628. The Company used $211,745 and $463,334 of cash in operations during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which was funded by proceeds from debt and equity financings. There is no assurance that such financing will be available in the future. Further, as of the date of this report, the Company is in default with respect to the unsecured convertible promissory note issued March 22, 2011 in the principal amount of $1,000,000 and accrued interest payable of $258,083 as of June 30, 2012. 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:
7
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.
|
|
3.
|
We are seeking growth capital from the sale of our securities.
|
The Company’s 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 pay our outstanding debt and 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.
3.
|
Significant Accounting Policies
|
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, (b) the financial position at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and (c) cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, have been made.
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.
Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. All non-interest bearing cash balances were fully insured at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 due to a temporary federal program in effect from December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012. Under the program, there is no limit to the amount of insurance for eligible accounts. Beginning 2013, insurance coverage will revert to $250,000 per depositor at each financial institution, and the Company's non-interest bearing cash balances may again exceed federally insured limits.
8
Accounts receivable - Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from the sale of our ERV products. The Company regularly reviews accounts receivable for any bad debts based on an analysis of the Company’s collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. At June 30, 2012, the day’s sales outstanding were 58, as compared to 76 at December 31, 2011. Based on management’s review of accounts receivable, we have recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $6,547 at June 30, 2012 and an allowance of $24,771 at December 31, 2011.
Inventory - Inventory consists primarily 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. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, four customers accounted for approximately 61% and 52% of revenues, respectively.
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 $68,100 and $47,400 for future warranty expenses at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
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. The Company recognized revenue of $20,500 and $41,000 from license agreements for both three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
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 six months ended June 30, 2011. There were no awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

The basis for the above assumptions are as follows: the dividend rate is based upon the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 company’s historical activity.
9
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 the six month period ended June 30, 2012.
Non-employee stock-based compensation - The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services,” now ASC 505 and EITF 00-18 “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees,” now ASC 505. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. Stock-based compensation related to non-employees is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services, whichever is more readily determinable in accordance with ASC 718. The fair value of common stock issued for services is based on the closing stock price on the date the common stock was issued. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company did not issue any non-employee stock based compensation. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company issued 121,346 shares of common stock valued at $42,821 for services rendered.
Research and development expenses and grant proceeds - Expenditures for research, development and engineering of products are expensed as incurred. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company incurred research and development costs of approximately $143,300 and $302,200, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company incurred research and development costs of approximately $137,200 and $300,600 respectively. The Company accounts for proceeds received from government grants for research as a reduction in research and development costs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded approximately $0 and $67,200, respectively, in grant proceeds against research and development expenses on the statement of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded approximately $126,100 and $287,500, respectively, in grant proceeds against research and development expenses on the statement of operations.
Government grants - Grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that any conditions associated with the grant will be met. When grants are received related to Property and Equipment, the Company reduces the basis of the assets resulting in lower depreciation expense over the life of the associated asset. Grants received related to expenses are reflected as a reduction of the associated expense in the period in which the expense is incurred.
Financial instruments - Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a 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 entity’s 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 June 30, 2012. The Company uses the market approach to measure fair value for its Level 1 financial assets and liabilities, which include cash equivalents of $594 at June 30, 2012. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities.
10
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, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued compensation and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company’s convertible notes payable is discussed in Note 4.
The Company’s financial liabilities measured at fair value consisted of the following as of June 30, 2012:

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.
Earnings (loss) per share - Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (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 anti-dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation.

Derivative financial instruments - The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposure to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. Terms of convertible promissory note instruments are reviewed to determine whether or not they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required under ASC 815 “Derivative and Hedging” (ASC 815) to be accounted for separately from the host contract, and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities, if any, is required to be revalued at each reporting date, with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in current period operating results.
Freestanding warrants issued by the Company in connection with the issuance or sale of debt and equity instruments are considered to be derivative instruments and are evaluated and accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815. Pursuant to ASC 815, an evaluation of specifically identified conditions is made to determine whether fair value of warrants issued is required to be classified as equity or as a derivative liability.
Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 to conform to the presentation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.
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 Company’s present or future financial statements.

Notes Payable
Unsecured Note
In December 2009, we secured a 10% loan in the principal amount of $1,000,000 from an investor. Pursuant to the terms of the note, we are to pay the holder 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 June 17, 2010. The note’s maturity date was extended to April 30, 2011. On March 22, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Amendment and Exchange Agreement and an Amended and Restated Convertible Promissory Note (“Convertible Note”, collectively “Exchange Agreements”) with this investor. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreements, the Company and the investor amended and restated the $1,000,000 unsecured promissory note to, among other things, add a conversion option and extend the maturity date to March 22, 2012 (as amended and restated, the “2011 Convertible Note”). Interest in the amount of 10% per annum, commencing on December 17, 2009 and calculated on a 365 day year, and the principal amount of $1,000,000 is due in full on March 22, 2012. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2011 Convertible Note, including limitations on conversion, the outstanding principal and interest under the 2011 Convertible Note shall automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock at the then-effective conversion price upon the closing of a qualified firm commitment underwritten public offering or may be voluntarily converted by the investor at anytime during the debt term. The initial conversion price is $0.26 per share, which is subject to adjustment for standard anti-dilution provisions. Any principal or interest which is not converted is to be repaid by the Company at the earlier of a qualified offering, (as defined in the 2011 Convertible Note which is filed as an exhibit to the Form 8K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2011), or March 22, 2012. Pursuant to and during the term of the 2011 Convertible Note, the Company is not to issue or allow to exist any obligation for borrowed money, except for subordinate indebtedness in payment and priority, trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business, purchase money secured indebtedness for equipment or inventory, unsecured and subordinate, or unsecured and subordinate working capital guarantees provided by, the Export Import Bank of the United States (the “EXIM Bank”). Effective March 20, 2012, the Company and the investor amended the 2011 Convertible Note and to extend the maturity date to May 7, 2012. Pursuant to the Forebearance Agreement described below, on and after June 14, 2012 interest on the principal amount of the 2011 Convertible Note shall accrue at the rate of 20% per annum. As of the date of this report, the 2011 Convertible Note was outstanding, in default and due and payable in full.
13
On March 22, 2011, in connection with the above Exchange Agreements, the Company entered into amendments to existing warrant agreements with the investor to extend the terms of the existing stock purchase warrants, dated on or about December 31, 2007 and March 12, 2009, respectively, to March 22, 2016 and to provide for cashless exercise unless such warrant shares are registered for resale under a registration statement. In addition, on March 22, 2011, the Company issued an additional stock purchase warrant to the investor. Subject to the terms of the warrant, the investor may purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.45 per share, exercisable commencing on the earliest of the consummation of the qualified offering (as defined in the Exchange Agreements), the date of conversion of the 2011 Convertible Note in full, or the date of conversion of the Convertible Note by the investor in the greatest number of shares of the Company’s common stock not to exceed 9.99% beneficial ownership of Company outstanding common stock and terminating on March 22, 2016.
The 2011 Convertible Note is a hybrid financial instruments that blends characteristics of both debt and equity securities. The note embodies settlement alternatives to the holder providing for either redemption of principal and interest in cash (forward component) or conversion into the Company’s common stock (embedded conversion feature). The forward component was valued using the present value of discounted cash flows arising from the contractual principal and interest payment terms and the embedded conversion feature was valued using the Monte Carlo simulation method. The fair value of the 2011 Convertible Note was estimated to be $1,964,905 on the date of the exchange, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $964,905. Further, in accordance with ASC 470-20-25 and ASC 470-50-40, the net premium of $964,905 associated with the 2011 Convertible Note was reclassified to capital in excess of par value under the presumption that such net premium represented a capital contribution. Consequently, the 2011 Convertible Note is being carried at face value. The fair value of the additional warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares and the value associated with the previously issued warrants that were amended was determined to be $716,890 using the Black-Scholes option model and is included in the aggregate loss on extinguishment of $1,681,795. Since the loan is held by a related party, the loss on extinguishment has been treated as a capital transaction and, as a result, this transaction had no net effect on capital in excess of par value.
Secured Note
Also, on March 22, 2011, the Company entered into a 10% note and warrant purchase agreement, secured convertible promissory note and patent security agreement (“Financing Agreements”) with the investor. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Financing Agreements, the investor provided a loan in the principal amount of $1,500,000 to the Company, which was secured by all patents, patent applications and similar protections of the Company and all rents, royalties, license fees and “accounts” with respect to such intellectual property assets. Pursuant to this secured convertible promissory note (“Secured Note”), interest in the amount of 10% per annum, calculated on a 365 day year, and the principal amount of $1,500,000 was due and payable on March 22, 2012, subsequently extended to May 7, 2012, but repayment is accelerated upon a qualified offering (as defined in the note). In the event of such qualified offering, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Secured Note, the outstanding principal and interest under the Secured Note was to automatically convert, subject to the limitations on conversion described in the note, into shares of the Company’s common stock at the then-effective conversion price upon the closing of such qualified offering. The initial conversion price was $0.26 per share. Any principal or interest which was not converted was to be repaid by the Company at the earlier of a qualified offering or March 22, 2012, subsequently extended to May 7, 2012. No cash fees were paid to any party to the transaction in exchange for lending the money. Effective March 20, 2012, the Company and the investor amended the Secured Note and Convertible Promissory Note to extend the maturity date to May 7, 2012. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement described below, on and after June 14, 2012 interest on the principal amount of this note at the rate of 20% per annum. All interest and principal due and owing pursuant to this Secured Note was paid on July 13, 2012.
On March 22, 2011, in connection with the Financing Agreements, the Company issued a Stock Purchase Warrant to the investor to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.45 per share, exercisable until March 22, 2016. The Warrant was fair valued on the date of issuance, which amounted to $1,204,787. The warrant value was recorded as a debt discount based on the relative fair value of the warrant to the total proceeds received, which amounted to $435,240. The Warrant was fair valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. In addition, the debt contained a beneficial conversion feature, which was valued at the date of issuance at $1,762,163; however, since this amount is in excess of the net value of the debt less the warrant discount, the beneficial conversion feature will be limited to $1,064,760 and recorded as a discount on the loan. The total debt discount of $1,500,000 is being amortized using the effective interest method over the 12-month term of the Secured Note. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized $358,555 and $358,555, respectively, in additional interest expense representing amortization of this debt discount. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized $332,750 and $450,568, respectively, in additional interest expense representing amortization of this debt discount.
14
The fair value of warrants issued in 2011 related to the above debt transaction were calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: Expected life in years: 5-10 years; Estimated volatility 115%-117%, Risk-free interest rate: 1.89%-2.07%; Dividend yield: 0%.
Pursuant to the Patent Security Agreement issued in connection with the Note and Warrant Purchase of March 22, 2011, the Company was not, without the investor’s prior consent, to sell, dispose or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Collateral, except for license grants in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company was to take all actions reasonably necessary to prosecute to allowance applications for patents and maintain all patents, and to seek to recover damages for infringement, misappropriation or dilution of the Collateral with limited exceptions.
In connection with a qualified offering, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Secured Note and 2011 Convertible Note, the Company will use reasonable efforts to include the investor’s securities in such offering. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreements and Financing Agreements, the investor will not, if requested in writing by the underwriter, sell, offer to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to affiliates) any securities of the Company held by it for a period of 180 days from the date of the final prospectus relating to such qualified offering, except for certain limited sales as more fully described in the Exchange Agreements or Financing Agreements.
Forbearance Agreement
On May 18, 2012 we received a notice of default from the investor with respect to the 2011 Convertible Note, Secured Note and Patent Security Agreement. On June 15, 2012, we entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”), with the investor. Under the Forbearance Agreement, the investor agreed to forebear from disposing of or selling any collateral secured by the Patent Security Agreement until the earliest of: (i) July 15, 2012; (ii) two business days after our receipt of a written notice after any subsequent event of default, (iii) two business days after our receipt of a written notice that any representations, warranties or information we provided to the investor in any document or instrument in connection with the Forbearance Agreement is materially false, incomplete or misleading, (iv) two business days after our receipt of a written notice that a proceeding or other action has been commenced by any creditor against us, other than the investor (v) the date on which a court enters an order for relief or take any similar action in respect of us in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy law, or (vi) the date on which a petition for relief under any applicable bankruptcy, is filed by or against us, each as further described in the Forbearance Agreement.
Furthermore, we acknowledge to the investor that upon termination of the Forbearance Period and at any time thereafter, the investor shall be entitled, at its discretion, to (i) dispose of the Collateral (as defined in the Patent Security Agreement) in the manner set forth in the disposition notification, and (ii) exercise any and all rights and remedies available to the investor in respect of existing defaults as a secured creditor, including without limitation, those rights and remedies under the outstanding 2011 Convertible Note and the Secured Note (collectively, the “Notes”) and the Patent Security Agreement. We also acknowledged to the investor that we have received notice of the disposition of the Collateral within a reasonable time prior to any potential disposition (to the extent the same occurs on or after termination of the Forbearance Period) for purposes of Section 9-612 of the UCC, and that we do not have any defenses, affirmative or otherwise, rights of setoff, rights of recoupment, claims, counterclaims, or causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever against the investor, its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, members, managers, legal representatives or affiliates.
Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, we agreed to pay the investor the sum of $15,000 for legal fees incurred, which was added to the principal amount of the outstanding Secured Note, and the interest on the Secured Note and the 2011 Convertible Note accruing on and after June 14, 2012 was to thereafter accrue at the rate of twenty percent (20%) per annum.
On July 13, 2012 we paid in full all principal and interest due pursuant to the Secured Note. The 2011 Convertible Note, however, is still outstanding with a principal balance $1,000,000 and an accrued interest payable balance of $258,083 at June 30, 2012.
15
Other Notes and Accrued Interest
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with a related party to borrow $50,000 which is due on demand and bears interest at 4%. We paid all interest and principal due under this note on July 31, 2012.
Accrued interest on the above notes was $456,296 and $320,548 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Timothy N. Tangredi, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, is a founder and a member of the board of directors of Aegis BioSciences, LLC (“Aegis”). Mr. Tangredi currently owns 52% of Aegis’ outstanding equity and spends approximately one to two days per month on Aegis business for which he is compensated by Aegis. Aegis has two exclusive, world-wide licenses from us under which it has the right to use and sell products containing our polymer technologies in biomedical and health care applications. As a result of a $150,000 payment made by Aegis, the first license is considered fully paid and as such no additional license revenue will be forthcoming. Pursuant to the second license Aegis made an initial one-time payment of $50,000 and is to make royalty payments of 1.5% of the net sales price it receives with respect to any personal hygiene product, surgical drape or clothing products (the latter when employed in medical and animal related fields) and license revenue it receives should Aegis grant a sublicense to a third party. To date Aegis has sold no such products nor has it received any licensing fees requiring a royalty payment be made to us. All obligations for such payments will end on the earlier of June 2, 2015 or upon the aggregate of all sums paid to us by Aegis under the agreement reaching $1 million. The term of each respective license runs for the duration of the patented technology.
The Company rents a building that is owned by two stockholders of the Company, one of which is our Chief Executive Officer. Rent expense for this building is $3,800 per month.

Terminated Sales Agreements
|
On August 21, 2009, we entered into an Exclusive Distribution Agreement with Genertec, under which we are to supply and Genertec is to distribute, on an exclusive basis, three of our nanotechnology-based membrane products and related products in Greater China, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. The agreement provides that during the initial five year term of the agreement, Genertec will order and purchase these products in the aggregate amount of $200 million. A minimum quantity of said products is to be purchased by Genertec during each contract year of the initial term.
In April of 2010, the Company entered into a technical and sales agreement with CAST Systems Control Technology Co., Ltd. (“CAST”) and Genertec with a value of up to approximately $48 million over a twelve month period. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will supply to CAST, through Genertec, key system components of its nanotechnology clean water process.
During 2011, Genertec expressed a desire to limit its participation in this endeavor as they find NanoAir and NanoClear to have engineering requirements they are not best suited to undertake. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we terminated the Genertec and CAST agreements and recognized the $150,000 deposit as revenue.

Derivative Financial Instruments
|
In September 2008, the FASB ratified the consensus reached on EITF Issue No. 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-5”) (codified as ASC 815-40-15-5). This EITF provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The EITF applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded feature that has all the characteristics of a derivative under ASC 815-10-15-13 through 15-130, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for purposes of determining whether that instrument or embedded feature qualifies for the first part of the scope exception. The EITF also applies to any freestanding financial instrument that is potentially settled in an entity’s own stock, regardless of whether the instrument has all the characteristics of a derivative under ASC 815-10-13 through 15-130, for purposes of determining whether the instrument is within the scope of EITF No. 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock (“EITF 00-19”) (codified as ASC subtopic 815-40). EITF No. 07-5 was effective beginning the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
Due to certain adjustments that may be made to the exercise price of the warrants issued in December 2007, January 2008 and August 2008 if the Company issues or sells shares of its common stock at a price which is less than the then current warrant exercise price, these warrants have been classified as a liability as opposed to equity in accordance with the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC 815-10-15 as it was determined that these warrants were not indexed to the Company’s stock. As a result, the fair market value of these warrants was remeasured on January 1, 2009 and marked to market at each subsequent financial reporting period. The change in fair value of the warrants is recorded in the statement of operations and is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Subsequent Events
|
On July 13, 2012, the Company paid all principal and interest due and owing pursuant to the $1,500,000 Secured Note.
On July 13, 2012, the Company issued a Secured Convertible Promissory Note and Patent Security Agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) to an investor (“Investor”). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreements, the Investor provided a loan in the amount of $2,000,000 to the Company, which will be secured by all current and future patents, patent applications and similar protections of the Company and all rents, royalties, license fees and “accounts” with respect to such intellectual property assets (“Collateral”). Pursuant to the Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “2012 Note”), interest in the amount of 6% per annum, calculated on a 365 day year, and the principal amount of $2,000,000 and accrued interest will be paid on or before October 15, 2012. The Investor has the right to convert principal and accrued interest into the Company’s common stock at $0.26 per share, as adjusted to reflect subsequent stock dividends, splits, combinations and recapitalizations; provided, however, that in the event any such conversion of the 2012 Note would result in the Investor beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock at such time (“Threshold”), then instead of the Company issuing shares of common stock in excess of the Threshold, the Company shall pay in cash such excess amounts of principal and interest. Investor may waive the Threshold and convert all or any part of the excess amount upon issuing the required prior written notice of Company. The proceeds of this 2012 Note were used in part to pay in full all outstanding principal and interest due pursuant to the Secured Promissory Note issued March 22, 2011.
Pursuant to the Patent Security Agreement, the Company shall not, without the Investor’s prior consent, sell, dispose or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Collateral, except for license grants in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company will take all actions reasonably necessary to prosecute to allowance applications for patents and maintain all patents, and to seek to recover damages for infringement, misappropriation or dilution of the Collateral with limited exceptions.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2012.
THIS FILING, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO “MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS”, CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THE WORDS “ANTICIPATED,” “BELIEVE,” “EXPECT,” “PLAN,” “INTEND,” “SEEK,” “ESTIMATE,” “PROJECT,” “WILL,” “COULD,” “MAY,” AND SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS ARE INTENDED TO IDENTIFY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THESE STATEMENTS INCLUDE, AMONG OTHERS, INFORMATION REGARDING FUTURE OPERATIONS, FUTURE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, AND FUTURE NET CASH FLOW. SUCH STATEMENTS REFLECT THE COMPANY’S CURRENT VIEWS WITH RESPECT TO FUTURE EVENTS AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, GENERAL ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS CONDITIONS, CHANGES IN FOREIGN, POLITICAL, SOCIAL, AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, REGULATORY INITIATIVES AND COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS, THE ABILITY TO ACHIEVE FURTHER MARKET PENETRATION AND ADDITIONAL CUSTOMERS, AND VARIOUS OTHER MATTERS, MANY OF WHICH ARE BEYOND THE COMPANY’S CONTROL. OUR ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED IN THESE FORWARD- LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF SEVERAL FACTORS, INCLUDING THE RISKS FACED BY US AS DESCRIBED BELOW AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS FORM 10-Q AS WELL AS IN OUR FORM 10-K FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION ON MARCH 30, 2012. IN LIGHT OF THESE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 10-Q WILL OCCUR. WE HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO PUBLICLY UPDATE OR REVISE THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS TO REFLECT NEW INFORMATION, FUTURE EVENTS, OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS AND WE CAUTION YOU NOT TO PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE ON THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. WE MAY NOT UPDATE THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, EVEN THOUGH OUR SITUATION MAY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE.
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 products. We also have new product applications in various stages of development. We believe that three of these product applications, including an advanced air conditioning system which is projected to be more energy efficient and have lower emissions compared to current HVAC equipment, a sea-water desalination product and an electrical energy storage device, may be brought to market in the foreseeable future if we receive adequate capital funding.
We expect ConsERV™ to continue to be our focused commercial product through 2012 with a growing emphasis on moving the development of the NanoClear and NanoAir technologies towards commercialization.
REVENUES
We generate our revenues primarily from the sale of our ConsERV™ products in largely commercial HVAC markets with a small amount of revenue coming from residential sales to consumers and HVAC distributors. 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 near term 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 client’s energy costs and emissions, and (iv) from the Company’s own ‘customer direct’ sales activities, all of which focus on the sale of product primarily into the commercial user 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 from HVAC equipment manufacturers and from distribution firms servicing the equipment needs of the HVAC installer community. We are also working to create license/supply relationships with HVAC or ERV OEMs preferably having a dominant presence in existing direct related sales channels.
20
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 supplier’s 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, it would create a delay in production.
Our cost of sales may fluctuate due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
•
|
A change in key suppliers or the prices that they charge for the fundamental components of our ConsERV™ products;
|
•
|
An increase in the labor resources needed to expand the production of our ConsERV™ products;
|
•
|
Commercialization of new product applications of our polymer technology;
|
•
|
Continued technological improvements in key materials or configuration(s) to reduce our ‘per unit’ cost structure; and
|
•
|
Additional outsourcing of our manufacturing and assembly processes with strategic partners to reduce our ‘per unit’ cost structure.
|
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 channel support costs, and other infrastructure costs such as insurance, information technology and occupancy expenses.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:
•
|
Additional expenses as a result of being a reporting company including, but not limited to, director and officer insurance, director fees, SEC reporting and compliance expenses, transfer agent fees, additional staffing, professional fees and similar expenses;
|
•
|
Additional infrastructure needed to support the expanded commercialization of our ConsERV™ products and/or new product applications of our polymer technology for, among other things, administrative personnel, physical space, marketing and channel support and information technology; and
|
•
|
The fair value of new share-based awards, which is based on various assumptions including, among other things, the volatility of our stock price

REVENUES: Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $649,015 and $1,124,079, respectively, a decrease of $475,064 or 42.3%. The decrease in revenues in the 2012 period is primarily attributable to concerns related to our ability to repay the convertible secured promissory note in the principal amount of $1.5 million. The note was repaid on July 13, 2012.
COST OF GOODS SOLD: Cost of goods sold decreased $297,712 to $508,962 and represented 78% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $806,674 or 72% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Gross profit margin decreased from 28% in 2011 to 22% in 2012. The decrease in the gross profit margin was due to the relocation of the production of our enthalpy cores to our Odessa location, which required an increase in our materials, labor and training for quality assurance.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: Selling, general and administrative expenses of $527,573 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $265,033 from $792,606 in the same period of 2011 or 33%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in stock based compensation of approximately $197,000 and a decrease in professional services by approximately $46,000.
INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense was $81,529 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $84,149 for the same period of 2011, a decrease of $2,620.
CHANGE IN FAIR VALUE OF WARRANT LIABILITY: The change in the fair value of warrant liability decreased by $782,248 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to ($911,922) from ($1,694,170) in the prior period ended June 30, 2011 due to the change in the fair value of the underlying warrant liability based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. See Note 8 in the accompanying Financial Statements.
NET INCOME: Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by $492,088 to $299,497 from $791,585 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in net income is primarily due to the decrease in the change in the fair value of the warrant liability as discussed above.

REVENUES: Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $1,688,498 and $1,982,773, respectively, a decrease of $294,275 or 14.8%. The decrease in revenues in the 2012 period is primarily attributable to concerns related to our ability to repay the convertible secured promissory note in the principal amount of $1.5 million. The note was repaid on July 13, 2012. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, four customers accounted for approximately 61% and 52% of revenues, respectively.
COST OF GOODS SOLD: Cost of goods sold decreased $315,465 to $1,192,099 and represented 70.6% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1,507,564 or 76% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Gross profit margin increased from 24% in 2011 to 29.4% in 2012. The increase in the gross profit margin was due to the recognition of the $150,000 nonrefundable deposit related to the termination of the Genertec and the CAST agreements net of the increase in costs related to the relocation of the production of our enthalpy cores to our Odessa location, which required an increase in labor costs and additional training for quality assurance.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: Selling, general and administrative expenses of $962,338 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 represented a decrease of $752,565 from $1,714,903 in the same period of 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $546,929 in stock based compensation expense as the Company did not approve as many equity awards in 2012. It was also due to a $59,249 decrease in professional fees as the Company entered into fewer consulting agreements. Finally, the Company reduced travel and entertainment expense by $39,191.
23
INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense was $159,315 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $129,870 for the same period of 2011, an increase of $29,445. The increase was primarily due to having the secured and unsecured notes outstanding for the full six months in 2012.
CHANGE IN FAIR VALUE OF WARRANT LIABILITY: The change in the fair value of warrant liability increased by $2,157,789 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to ($1,499,852) from $657,937 in the prior period ended June 30, 2011 due to the change in the fair value of the underlying warrant liability based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. See Note 8 in the accompanying Financial Statements.
NET INCOME (LOSS): Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased by $2,771,674 to $281,114 from ($2,490,560) or the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in net income is primarily due to the increase in the change in fair value of warrant liability 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.
Unsecured Note
In December 2009, we secured a 10% loan in the principal amount of $1,000,000 from an investor. Pursuant to the terms of the note, we are to pay the holder 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 June 17, 2010. The note’s maturity date was extended to April 30, 2011. On March 22, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Amendment and Exchange Agreement and an Amended and Restated Convertible Promissory Note (“Convertible Note”, collectively “Exchange Agreements”) with this investor. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreements, the Company and the investor amended and restated the $1,000,000 unsecured promissory note to, among other things, add a conversion option and extend the maturity date to March 22, 2012 (as amended and restated, the “2011 Convertible Note”). Interest in the amount of 10% per annum, commencing on December 17, 2009 and calculated on a 365 day year, and the principal amount of $1,000,000 is due in full on March 22, 2012. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2011 Convertible Note, including limitations on conversion, the outstanding principal and interest under the 2011 Convertible Note shall automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock at the then-effective conversion price upon the closing of a qualified firm commitment underwritten public offering or may be voluntarily converted by the investor at anytime during the debt term. The initial conversion price is $0.26 per share, which is subject to adjustment for standard anti-dilution provisions. Any principal or interest which is not converted is to be repaid by the Company at the earlier of a qualified offering, (as defined in the 2011 Convertible Note which is filed as an exhibit to the Form 8K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2011), or March 22, 2012. Pursuant to and during the term of the 2011 Convertible Note, the Company is not to issue or allow to exist any obligation for borrowed money, except for subordinate indebtedness in payment and priority, trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business, purchase money secured indebtedness for equipment or inventory, unsecured and subordinate, or unsecured and subordinate working capital guarantees provided by, the Export Import Bank of the United States (the “EXIM Bank”). Effective March 20, 2012, the Company and the investor amended the 2011 Convertible Note and to extend the maturity date to May 7, 2012. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement described below, on and after June 14, 2012 interest on the principal amount of the 2011 Convertible Note shall accrue at the rate of 20% per annum. As of the date of this report, the 2011 Convertible Note was outstanding, in default and due and payable in full.
24
On March 22, 2011, in connection with the above Exchange Agreements, the Company entered into amendments to existing warrant agreements with the investor to extend the terms of the existing stock purchase warrants, dated on or about December 31, 2007 and March 12, 2009, respectively, to March 22, 2016 and to provide for cashless exercise unless such warrant shares are registered for resale under a registration statement. In addition, on March 22, 2011, the Company issued an additional stock purchase warrant to the investor. Subject to the terms of the warrant, the investor may purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.45 per share, exercisable commencing on the earliest of the consummation of the qualified offering (as defined in the Exchange Agreements), the date of conversion of the 2011 Convertible Note in full, or the date of conversion of the Convertible Note by the investor in the greatest number of shares of the Company’s common stock not to exceed 9.99% beneficial ownership of Company outstanding common stock and terminating on March 22, 2016.
The 2011 Convertible Note is a hybrid financial instruments that blends characteristics of both debt and equity securities. The note embodies settlement alternatives to the holder providing for either redemption of principal and interest in cash (forward component) or conversion into the Company’s common stock (embedded conversion feature). The forward component was valued using the present value of discounted cash flows arising from the contractual principal and interest payment terms and the embedded conversion feature was valued using the Monte Carlo simulation method. The fair value of the 2011 Convertible Note was estimated to be $1,964,905 on the date of the exchange, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $964,905. Further, in accordance with ASC 470-20-25 and ASC 470-50-40, the net premium of $964,905 associated with the 2011 Convertible Note was reclassified to capital in excess of par value under the presumption that such net premium represented a capital contribution. Consequently, the 2011 Convertible Note is being carried at face value. The fair value of the additional warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares and the value associated with the previously issued warrants that were amended was determined to be $716,890 using the Black-Scholes option model and is included in the aggregate loss on extinguishment of $1,681,795. Since the loan is held by a related party, the loss on extinguishment has been treated as a capital transaction and, as a result, this transaction had no net effect on capital in excess of par value.
Secured Note
Also, on March 22, 2011, the Company entered into a 10% note and warrant purchase agreement, secured convertible promissory note and patent security agreement (“Financing Agreements”) with the investor. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Financing Agreements, the investor provided a loan in the amount of $1,500,000 to the Company, which was secured by all patents, patent applications and similar protections of the Company and all rents, royalties, license fees and “accounts” with respect to such intellectual property assets. Pursuant to this secured convertible promissory note (“Secured Note”), interest in the amount of 10% per annum, calculated on a 365 day year, and the principal amount of $1,500,000 was due and payable on March 22, 2012, subsequently extended to May 7, 2012, but repayment is accelerated upon a qualified offering (as defined in the note). In the event of such qualified offering, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Secured Note, the outstanding principal and interest under the Secured Note was to automatically convert, subject to the limitations on conversion described in the note, into shares of the Company’s common stock at the then-effective conversion price upon the closing of such qualified offering. The initial conversion price was $0.26 per share. Any principal or interest which was not converted was to be repaid by the Company at the earlier of a qualified offering or March 22, 2012, subsequently extended to May 7, 2012. No cash fees were paid to any party to the transaction in exchange for lending the money. Effective March 20, 2012, the Company and the investor amended the Secured Note and Convertible Promissory Note to extend the maturity date to May 7, 2012. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement described below, on and after June 14, 2012 interest on the principal amount of this note accrued at the rate of 20% per annum. All interest and principal due and owing pursuant to this Secured Note was paid on July 13, 2012.
25
On March 22, 2011, in connection with the Financing Agreements, the Company issued a Stock Purchase Warrant to the investor to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.45 per share, exercisable until March 22, 2016. The Warrant was fair valued on the date of issuance, which amounted to $1,204,787. The warrant value was recorded as a debt discount based on the relative fair value of the warrant to the total proceeds received, which amounted to $435,240. The Warrant was fair valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. In addition, the debt contained a beneficial conversion feature, which was valued at the date of issuance at $1,762,163; however, since this amount is in excess of the net value of the debt less the warrant discount, the beneficial conversion feature will be limited to $1,064,760 and recorded as a discount on the loan. The total debt discount of $1,500,000 is being amortized using the effective interest method over the 12-month term of the Secured Note. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized $358,555 and $358,555, respectively, in additional interest expense representing amortization of this debt discount. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized $332,749 and $450,568, respectively, in additional interest expense representing amortization of this debt discount.
The fair value of warrants issued in 2011 related to the above debt transaction were calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: Expected life in years: 5-10 years; Estimated volatility 115%-117%, Risk-free interest rate: 1.89%-2.07%; Dividend yield: 0%.
Pursuant to the Patent Security Agreement issued in connection with the Note and Warrant Purchase of March 22, 2011, the Company was not, without the investor’s prior consent, to sell, dispose or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Collateral, except for license grants in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company was to take all actions reasonably necessary to prosecute to allowance applications for patents and maintain all patents, and to seek to recover damages for infringement, misappropriation or dilution of the Collateral with limited exceptions.
In connection with a qualified offering, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Secured Note and 2011 Convertible Note, the Company will use reasonable efforts to include the Investor’s securities in such offering. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreements and Financing Agreements, the investor will not, if requested in writing by the underwriter, sell, offer to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to affiliates) any securities of the Company held by it for a period of 180 days from the date of the final prospectus relating to such qualified offering, except for certain limited sales as more fully described in the Exchange Agreements or Financing Agreements.
Forbearance Agreement
On May 18, 2012 we received a notice of default from the Investor with respect to the 2011 Convertible Note, Secured Note and Patent Security Agreement. On June 15, 2012, we entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”), with the investor. Under the Forbearance Agreement, the investor agreed to forebear from disposing of or selling any collateral secured by the Patent Security Agreement until the earliest of: (i) July 15, 2012; (ii) two business days after our receipt of a written notice after any subsequent event of default, (iii) two business days after our receipt of a written notice that any representations, warranties or information we provided to the Investor in any document or instrument in connection with the Forbearance Agreement is materially false, incomplete or misleading, (iv) two business days after our receipt of a written notice that a proceeding or other action has been commenced by any creditor against us, other than the investor (v) the date on which a court enters an order for relief or take any similar action in respect of us in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy law, or (vi) the date on which a petition for relief under any applicable bankruptcy, is filed by or against us, each as further described in the Forbearance Agreement.
26
Furthermore, we acknowledge to the investor that upon termination of the Forbearance Period and at any time thereafter, the investor shall be entitled, at its discretion, to (i) dispose of the Collateral (as defined in the Patent Security Agreement) in the manner set forth in the disposition notification, and (ii) exercise any and all rights and remedies available to the investor in respect of existing defaults as a secured creditor, including without limitation, those rights and remedies under the outstanding 2011 Convertible Note and the Secured Note (collectively, the “Notes”) and the Patent Security Agreement. We also acknowledged to the investor that we have received notice of the disposition of the Collateral within a reasonable time prior to any potential disposition (to the extent the same occurs on or after termination of the Forbearance Period) for purposes of Section 9-612 of the UCC, and that we do not have any defenses, affirmative or otherwise, rights of setoff, rights of recoupment, claims, counterclaims, or causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever against the investor, its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, members, managers, legal representatives or affiliates.
Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, we agreed to pay the investor the sum of $15,000 for legal fees incurred, which was added to the principal amount of the outstanding Secured Note, and the interest on the Secured Note and the 2011 Convertible Note accruing on and after June 14, 2012 was to thereafter accrue at the rate of twenty percent (20%) per annum.
On July 13, 2012 all principal and interest due and owing pursuant to the Secured Note was paid in full.
Other Notes Payable and Accrued Interest
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with a related party to borrow $50,000 which is due on demand and bears interest at 4%. We paid all interest and principal due under this note on August 1, 2012.
On July 13, 2012, the Company issued a Secured Convertible Promissory Note and Patent Security Agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) to an investor (“Investor”). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreements, the Investor provided a loan in the amount of $2,000,000 (“Loan”) to the Company, which will be secured by all current and future patents, patent applications and similar protections of the Company and all rents, royalties, license fees and “accounts” with respect to such intellectual property assets (“Collateral”). Pursuant to the Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “2012 Note”), interest in the amount of 6% per annum, calculated on a 365 day year, and the principal amount of $2,000,000 and accrued interest will be paid on or before October 15, 2012. The Investor has the right to convert principal and accrued interest into the Company’s common stock at $0.26 per share, as adjusted to reflect subsequent stock dividends, splits, combinations and recapitalizations; provided, however, that in the event any such conversion of the 2012 Note would result in the Investor beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock at such time (“Threshold”), then instead of the Company issuing shares of common stock in excess of the Threshold, the Company shall pay in cash such excess amounts of principal and interest. Investor may waive the Threshold and convert all or any part of the excess amount upon issuing the required prior written notice of Company. The proceeds of this 2012 Note were used in part to pay in full all outstanding principal and interest due pursuant to the Secured Promissory Note issued March 22, 2011.
Pursuant to the Patent Security Agreement, the Company shall not, without the Investor’s prior consent, sell, dispose or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Collateral, except for license grants in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company will take all actions reasonably necessary to prosecute to allowance applications for patents and maintain all patents, and to seek to recover damages for infringement, misappropriation or dilution of the Collateral with limited exceptions.
As of the date of this report, all principal and interest due and owing pursuant to the 2011 Secured Note has been paid in full. The 2011 Convertible Promissory Note, however, is still outstanding and in default with an outstanding principal balance of $1,000,000 and an accrued interest balance of $258,083 at June 30, 2012.
27
We do not currently have the cash to repay our outstanding promissory notes, including the 2011 Convertible Note which is currently in default and the $2,000,000 2012 Note due October 15, 2012, 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 2011 Convertible Note and the 2012 Note are not converted into shares of our common stock pursuant to their 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 2012 Note holder will have the option to foreclose on our patents and patent applications securing the 2012 Note which may result in the failure of our business and, subject to the terms of the notes, the unsecured note holders have the option to seek a judgment against our unsecured assets which will have a detrimental impact on our business.
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 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 $96,090 at June 30, 2012, product sales and additional debt and equity issuances to finance our operations through the next 12 months, including debt service of $2,515,624 and other contractual obligations of approximately $178,100 as of June 30, 2012. We must raise additional capital in the amount of approximately $8.9 million, net of expenses, during the next eighteen months in order to pay down existing debt, secure new patents for innovative applications of our core technology, purchase equipment, and fund our working capital requirements in accordance with our existing plans through July 2013. This additional capital could be provided by a successful completion of an offering of equity securities and or by licensing agreements. If we are unable to raise these funds, we may be required to delay our development plans, curtail our expenditures, and attempt to renegotiate the terms of our outstanding promissory notes.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant losses since inception. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $37,692,052, negative working capital of $4,491,596 and a stockholders’ deficit of $4,641,628. The Company used $211,745 and $463,334 of cash in operations during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which was funded by proceeds from debt and equity financings. There is no assurance that such financing will be available in the future. Further, as of the date of this report, the Company is in default with respect to the unsecured convertible promissory note issued March 22, 2011 in the principal amount of $1,000,000 and accrued interest payable of $258,083 as of June 30, 2012. 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.
|
|
3.
|
We are seeking growth capital from the sale of our securities.
|
28
The Company’s 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.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively the “Certifying Officers”) maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed, is accumulated and communicated to management timely. The Certifying Officers have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the “reasonable assurance” level. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Certifying Officers evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Furthermore, the Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures in place are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis in accordance with applicable Commission rules and regulations; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Certifying Officers and other persons that perform similar functions, if any, to allow us to make timely decisions regarding required disclosure in our periodic filings.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
We are not currently a party to any pending legal proceedings. In the ordinary course of business, we may become a party to various legal proceedings generally involving contractual matters, infringement actions, product liability claims and other matters.
From time to time, claims are made against us in the ordinary course of our business, which could result in litigation. Claims and associated litigation are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur, such as monetary damages, fines, penalties or injunctions prohibiting us from selling one or more products or engaging in other activities. The occurrence of an unfavorable outcome in any specific period could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for that period or future periods.
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company did not issue any equity securities.
The Company is in default on the $1,000,000 unsecured promissory note issued March 22, 2011.
