NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS

1.	NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization and Nature of Operations

CNS Response, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as Strativation, Inc. in Delaware on July 10, 1984. In connection with a merger on March 7, 2007 with CNS Response, Inc., a California corporation, the Company changed its name to its current name and commenced its current operations. The Company utilizes a patented system that guides psychiatrists and other physicians to determine a proper treatment for patients with mental, behavioral and/or addictive disorders. The Company also intends to identify, develop and commercialize new indications of approved drugs and drug candidates for this patient population.

In addition, as a result of its acquisition of Neuro-Therapy Clinic, Inc. (“NTC”) on January 11, 2008, the Company provides behavioral health care services. NTC is a center for highly-advanced testing and treatment of neuropsychiatric problems, including learning, attentional and behavioral challenges, mild head injuries, as well as depression, anxiety, bipolar and all other common psychiatric disorders. Through this acquisition, the Company expects to advance neurophysiology data collection, beta-test planned technological advances in rEEG, advance physician training in rEEG and investigate practice development strategies associated with rEEG.

Going Concern Uncertainty

The Company has a limited operating history and its operations are subject to certain problems, expenses, difficulties, delays, complications, risks and uncertainties frequently encountered in the operation of a new business. These risks include the failure to develop or supply technology or services to meet the demands of the marketplace, the ability to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis, the failure to attract and retain qualified personnel, competition within the industry, government regulation and the general strength of regional and national economies.

To date, the Company has financed its cash requirements primarily from debt and equity financings. It will be necessary for the Company to raise additional funds. The Company’s liquidity and capital requirements depend on several factors, including the rate of market acceptance of its services, the future profitability of the Company, the rate of growth of the Company’s business and other factors described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. The Company is currently exploring additional sources of capital but there can be no assurances that any financing arrangement will be available in amounts and terms acceptable to the Company.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CNS Response, Inc. (“CNS,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include all the accounts of CNS and its wholly owned subsidiaries CNS California and NTC. Certain information and note disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of December 31, 2009 and our operating results, cash flows, and changes in stockholders’ equity for the interim periods presented. The September 30, 2009 balance sheet was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended September 30, 2009 which are included in our current report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 30, 2009.

CNS RESPONSE, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses in the financial statements. Examples of estimates subject to possible revision based upon the outcome of future events include, among others, recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, stock-based compensation, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the valuation of equity instruments, use and other taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods or for the year ending September 30, 2010.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 825-10 (formerly SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”) defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization.

The Company also analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480-10 (formerly SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity”), ASC 815-10 (formerly SFAS No 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”) and ASC 815-40 (formerly EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”).

The Company adopted ASC 820-10 (formerly SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follow:

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

As of December 31, 2009 the Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 825-10 (formerly FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments) (“ASC 825”) , which requires that the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", be included in interim financial statements. This FSP also requires entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an interim and annual basis and to highlight any changes from prior periods. FSP 107-1 was effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of FSP 107-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855-10 (formerly Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events) (“ASC 855”). ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In accordance with this Statement, entities should apply the requirements to interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB approved its Accounting Standards Codification, or Codification, as the single source of authoritative United States accounting and reporting standards applicable for all non-governmental entities, with the exception of the SEC and its staff. The Codification, which changes the referencing of financial standards, is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009. Therefore, starting from fiscal year end 2009, all references made to US GAAP will use the new Codification numbering system prescribed by the FASB. As the Codification is not intended to change or alter existing US GAAP, it did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the Company’s implementation of the Codification during the year ended September 30, 2009, previous references to new accounting standards and literature are no longer applicable. In the current interim financial statements, the Company will provide reference to both new and old guidance to assist in understanding the impact of recently adopted accounting literature, particularly for guidance adopted since the beginning of the current fiscal year but prior to the Codification.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05 (ASU 2009-05), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value.” ASU 2009-05 amends Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall,” and provides clarification for the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period including interim period beginning after issuance. The adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (ASU 2010-06), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements.” ASU 2010-06 amends Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosures and provides clarification of existing disclosures. ASU 2010-06 also includes conforming amendments to the guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plans assets (Subtopic 715-20). ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2010-06 on its consolidated financial statements.

2.	CONVERTIBLE DEBT AND EQUITY FINANCING

Between March 30 and June 12, 2009 the Company entered into three rounds of bridge financings in the form of secured convertible promissory notes. These three rounds are referred to as:

(a)

the March 30, 2009 SAIL/Brandt Notes

(b)

the May 14, 2009 SAIL Note

(c)

the June 12, 2009 Pappajohn Note

All these notes were converted to equity as a result of a private placement transaction that closed on August 26, 2009 which is fully described in the section below.

The Private Placement Transactions

Completion of First Closing of Private Placement Transaction

On August 26, 2009, the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $2,043,000 in a private placement transaction (the “Private Placement”) with six investors. Pursuant to Subscription Agreements entered into with the investors, the Company sold approximately 38 Investment Units at $54,000 per Investment Unit. Each “Investment Unit” consists of 180,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and a five year non-callable warrant to purchase 90,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. After commissions and expenses, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $1,792,300 in the Private Placement. These funds were used to repay outstanding liabilities, fund the Company’s recent clinical trial and for general working capital purposes.

A FINRA member firm, the Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim Group”), acted as lead placement agent in connection with the Private Placement. For its services in connection with the first closing of the offering, Maxim Group received (i) a cash fee of $ 55,980, (ii) a cash expense allowance of $40,860, and (iii) a five year non-callable warrant to purchase 274,867 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.33 per share, first exercisable no earlier than February 26, 2010.

Secondary placement agents who provided services in connection with the first closing of the private placement received cash fees of $29,200 and five year non-callable warrants to purchase 97,200 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 0.33 per share, first exercisable no earlier than February 26, 2010. These warrants were issued during the three months ended December 31, 2009.

Pursuant to a Registration Rights agreement entered into with each investor, the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the common stock and the common stock underlying the warrants sold in the Private Placement, as well as the common stock underlying the warrants issued to Maxim Group by the later of October 26, 2009 or the 20th calendar day after the termination of the offering. The Registration Rights agreement was subsequently amended to permit the filing of the registration statement no later that 10 business days following the Company’s filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its September 30, 2009 year end, or the 20th calendar day after termination of the private offering. The Registration Statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 1, 2010.

In addition, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective no later than 180 days following the final closing of the offering and maintain such effectiveness until the earlier of the second anniversary of the date of such effectiveness or the date that all of the securities covered by the registration statement may be sold without restriction.

Events Relating to Private Placement Transaction

(a)

Conversion of the March 30, 2009 SAIL/Brandt Notes

On March 30, 2009, the Company entered into two Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes, each in the principal amount of $250,000 (each a “March Note” and, collectively, the “March Notes”), with Brandt Ventures, GP (“Brandt”) and SAIL Venture Partners, LP (“SAIL”). Leonard Brandt, a former member of the Company’s board of directors, is the general partner of Brandt and David B. Jones, a current member of the Company’s board of directors, is a managing member of Sail Venture Partners, LLC, which is the general partner of SAIL. The terms of the March Notes provided that in the event the Company consummates an equity financing transaction of at least $1,500,000 (excluding any and all other debt that is converted), then the principal and all accrued, but unpaid interest outstanding under the notes shall be automatically converted into the securities issued in the equity financing by dividing such amount by 90% of the per share price paid by the investors in such financing. In accordance with the terms of the March Notes, at the closing of the Private Placement, the Company issued to each of Brandt and SAIL 956,164 shares of common stock and a five year non-callable warrant to purchase 478,082 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share.

(b)

Conversion of the May 14, 2009 SAIL Note

On May 14, 2009, the Company entered into a Bridge Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “SAIL Purchase Agreement”) with SAIL. Pursuant to the SAIL Purchase Agreement, on May 14, 2009 SAIL purchased a Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $200,000 from the Company (the “May SAIL Note”). In order to induce SAIL to purchase the note, the Company issued to SAIL a warrant to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price equal to $0.25 per share. The warrant expires on May 31, 2016.

The terms of the May SAIL Note provided that in the event the Company consummates an equity financing transaction of at least $1,500,000 (excluding any and all other debt that is converted), then the principal and all accrued, but unpaid interest outstanding under the note shall be automatically converted into the securities issued in the equity financing by dividing such amount by 85% of the per share price paid by the investors in such financing. In accordance with the terms of the May SAIL Note, at the first closing of the Private Placement on August 26, 2009, the Company issued to SAIL 802,192 shares of its common stock and a five year non-callable warrant to purchase 401,096 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share.

In order to induce Mr. Pappajohn to purchase the note, the Company issued to Mr. Pappajohn a warrant to purchase up to 3,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price equal to $0.30 per share. The warrant expires on June 30, 2016.

The note issued pursuant to the Pappajohn Purchase Agreement provided that the principal amount of $1,000,000 together with a single payment of $90,000 (the “Premium Payment”) would be due and payable, unless sooner converted into shares of the Company’s common stock (as described below), upon the earlier to occur of: (i) a declaration by Mr. Pappajohn on or after June 30, 2010 or (ii) an Event of Default (as defined in the note). The note was secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets (including all intellectual property) of the Company. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, unless Mr. Pappajohn informed the Company otherwise, the Company was required to pay Mr. Pappajohn an amount equal to the product of 250% multiplied by the then outstanding principal amount of the note and the Premium Payment.

STATEMENTS

The Pappajohn Purchase Agreement also provided that in the event the Company consummated an equity financing transaction of at least $1,500,000 (excluding any and all other debt that is converted), the then outstanding principal amount of the note (but excluding the Premium Payment, which would be repaid in cash at the time of such equity financing) would be automatically converted into the securities issued in the equity financing by dividing such amount by the per share price paid by the investors in such financing. The note also provided that the securities issued upon conversion of the note would be otherwise issued on the same terms as such shares are issued to the lead investor that purchases shares of the Company in the qualified financing.

On August 26, 2009, at the closing of the Private Placement, the Company paid the Premium Payment to Mr. Pappajohn, and the outstanding principal amount of Mr. Pappajohn’s note ($1,000,000 as of August 26, 2009) converted into 3,333,334 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, in accordance with the terms of his note, Mr. Pappajohn was issued a five year non-callable warrant to purchase 1,666,667 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share.

Upon the abovementioned conversions, the Company evaluated the terms and calculated the fair value of the common stock (by using the closing market price on the respective original issuance dates of the convertible notes) and warrants (through the use of the Black-Scholes Model) issued upon the conversions and determined that the notes were converted with a beneficial conversion feature amounting to $642,000. As a result, for the year ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded $642,000 as interest expense.

Completion of Second and Third Closings of Private Placement Transaction

On December 24 and 31, 2009, the Company completed a second and third closing of its private placement (the first closing having occurred on August 26, 2009 and the fourth and final closing on January 4, 2010), resulting in additional gross proceeds to the Company of $2,996,000 and $432,000 respectively from accredited investors.

Pursuant to Subscription Agreements entered into with the investors, the Company sold approximately 63 Investment Units in the two closings at $54,000 per Investment Unit. Each “Investment Unit” consists of 180,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and a five year non-callable warrant to purchase 90,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share.

After commissions and expenses, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $2,650,400 at the second closing and $380,200 at the third closing. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the second and third closings of its private placement for general corporate purposes, including clinical trial expenses, research and development expenses, and general and administrative expenses, including the payment of accrued legal expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s litigation with Leonard Brandt.

A FINRA member firm, the Maxim Group acted as lead placement agent in connection with the second and third closings of the private placement. For its services in connection with the second closing, the Maxim Group received (i) a cash fee of $195,200, (ii) a cash expense allowance of $59,920, and (iii) a five year non-callable warrant to purchase 672,267 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 0.33 per share, first exercisable no earlier than June 24, 2010. For the third closing the Maxim Group received (i) a cash fee of $4,300, (ii) a cash expense allowance of $8,600, and (iii) a five year non-callable warrant to purchase 14,400 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 0.33 per share, first exercisable no earlier than June 30, 2010.

CNS RESPONSE, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS

The 2006 Plan provides that in any calendar year, no eligible employee or director shall be granted an award to purchase more than 3 million shares of stock. The option price for each share of stock subject to an option shall be (i) no less than the fair market value of a share of stock on the date the option is granted, if the option is an ISO, or (ii) no less than 85% of the fair market value of the stock on the date the option is granted, if the option is a NSO; provided, however, if the option is an ISO granted to an eligible employee who is a 10% shareholder, the option price for each share of stock subject to such ISO shall be no less than 110% of the fair market value of a share of stock on the date such ISO is granted. Stock options have a maximum term of ten years from the date of grant, except for ISOs granted to an eligible employee who is a 10% shareholder, in which case the maximum term is five years from the date of grant. ISOs may be granted only to eligible employees. The Company has adopted ASC 718-20 (formerly, SFAS No. 123R-revised 2004, “Share-Based Payment”), and related interpretations. Under ASC 718-20, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of each option on the grant date using the Black-Scholes model. No options were granted during the three months ended December 31, 2009.

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the employees’ or service provider’s requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award. Stock-based compensation expense included in the accompanying statements of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

7.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

In accordance with ASC 260-10 (formerly SFAS 128, “Computation of Earnings Per Share”), basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. For the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has excluded all common equivalent shares from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as such securities are anti-dilutive.

8.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Litigation

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the ordinary course of business. Other than as set forth below, we are not currently party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, in our management’s opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position.

Since June of 2009, we have been involved in litigation against Leonard J. Brandt, a stockholder, former director and our former Chief Executive Officer (“Brandt”) in the Delaware Chancery Court and the United States District Court for the Central District of California. At the conclusion of a two-day trial that commenced December 1, the Chancery Court entered judgment for the Company and dismissed with prejudice Brandt's action brought pursuant to Section 225 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which sought to oust the incumbent directors other than Brandt. The Chancery Court thereby found that the purported special meeting of stockholders convened by Brandt on September 4, 2009 was not valid and that the directors purportedly elected at that meeting are not entitled to be seated. On January 4, 2010, Brandt filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware in relation to the case, which the Company believes is without merit and intends to vigorously defend.

The Chancery Court also denied an injunction sought by Mr. Brandt to prevent the voting of shares issued by the Company in connection with our bridge financing in June 2009 and securities offering in August 2009, and dismissed Brandt's claims regarding those financings and stock issuances. On January 4, 2010, Brandt also filed an appeal in relation to this ruling with the Delaware Supreme Court which the Company believes is without merit and intends to vigorously defend.

CNS RESPONSE, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS

The Chancery Court also dismissed with prejudice another action brought by Mr. Brandt, in which he claimed he had not been provided with information owed to him.

An action before the United States District Court for the Central District of California remains outstanding. The Company is evaluating its options in connection with this lawsuit.

Lease Commitments

The Company leased its headquarters and Laboratory Information Services space under an operating lease which terminated on November 30, 2009. The Company continued to lease the space on a month-to-month basis through January 22, 2010 at which time the Company moved to its new premises.

On December 30, 2009 the Company entered a three year lease, commencing February 1, 2010 and terminating on January 30, 2013 for its new Headquarters and Laboratory Information Services business premises located at 85 Enterprise, Aliso Viejo, California 92656. The 2,023 square foot facility has an average cost for the lease term of $3,600 per month.

The Company leases space for its Clinical Services operations under an operating lease. The base rental as of December 31, 2009 is $6,000 per month. This lease terminates on February 28, 2010.

The Company also sub-leases space for its Clinical Services operations on a month-to-month basis for $1,000 per month.

The Company leases a copier for $200 per month which it accounts for as a capital lease with an interest rate of 9% per year. The lease terminates in February 2013 at which time the copier can be purchased at fair value.

The Company incurred rent expense of $37,600 and $32,800 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

9.	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 4, 2010, the Company completed its fourth and final closing of its private placement (the first closing having occurred on August 26, 2009), resulting in additional gross proceeds to the Company of $108,000 from accredited investors.

Pursuant to Subscription Agreements entered into with the investors, the Company sold 2 Investment Units at $54,000 per Investment Unit. Each “Investment Unit” consists of 180,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and a five year non-callable warrant to purchase 90,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share.

CNS RESPONSE, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS

After commissions and expenses, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $95,000 at the fourth closing. The Company intends to use the proceeds from this closing of its private placement for general corporate purposes, including clinical trial expenses, research and development expenses, and general and administrative expenses, including the payment of accrued legal expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s litigation with Leonard Brandt.

A FINRA member firm, the Maxim Group acted as lead placement agent in connection with the fourth closing of the private placement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The information contained in this Form 10-Q is intended to update the information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009 and presumes that readers have access to, and will have read, the “Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation” and other information contained in such Form 10-K. The following discussion and analysis also should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the condensed consolidated operating results, financial condition and liquidity and cash flows of CNS Response, Inc. for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. Except for historical information, the matters discussed in this management's discussion and analysis or plan of operation are “forward-looking statements” that involve risks and uncertainties and are based upon judgments concerning various factors that are beyond our control. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among other things, the factors referred to below under the caption “Cautionary Statements and Risk Factors.”

Overview

We are a life sciences company with two distinct business segments. Our Laboratory Information Services business operated by CNS California, which we consider our primary business, is focused on the commercialization of a patented system that guides psychiatrists and other physicians to determine a proper treatment for patients with behavioral (psychiatric and/or addictive) disorders. Our Clinical Services business operated by Neuro-Therapy Clinic, ("NTC") is a full service psychiatric clinic.

Laboratory Information Services

In connection with our Laboratory Information Services business, we have developed an extensive proprietary database (the “CNS Database”) consisting of over 17,000 clinical outcomes across more than 2,000 patients who had psychiatric or addictive problems. For each patient, we have compiled electroencephalographic (“EEG”) data, symptoms and outcomes, often across multiple treatments from multiple psychiatrists and physicians. Using this database, our technology compares a patient’s EEG to the outcomes in the database and ranks treatment options based on treatment success of patients having similar neurophysiology.

Trademarked as Referenced-EEG ® (“rEEG ® ”), this patented technology allows us to create and provide simple reports (“rEEG Reports”) that specifically guide physicians to treatment strategies based on the patient’s own physiology. The vast majority of these patients were considered long-term “treatment-resistant”, the most challenging, high-risk and expensive category to treat.

rEEG identifies relevant neurophysiology that is variant from the norm and identifies medications that have successfully treated database patients having similar aberrant physiology. It does this by comparing a patient’s standard digital EEG to an external normative database, which identifies the presence of abnormalities. The rEEG process then identifies a set of patients having similar abnormalities as recorded in our CNS Database and reports on historical relative medication success for this stratified group. Upon completion, the physician is provided the analysis in a report detailing and ranking classes of agents (and specific agents within the class) by treatment success for patients having similar abnormal electrophysiology.

Our business is focused on increasing the demand for our rEEG services. We believe the key factors that will drive broader adoption of rEEG will be acceptance by healthcare providers of its clinical benefits, demonstration of the cost-effectiveness of using our test, reimbursement by third-party payers, expansion of our sales force and increased marketing efforts.

Clinical Services

In January 2008, we acquired our largest customer, the Neuro-Therapy Clinic, Inc. Upon the completion of the transaction, NTC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. NTC operates one of the largest psychiatric medication management practices in the state of Colorado, with six full time and four part time employees including psychiatrists and clinical nurse specialists with prescribing privileges. Daniel A. Hoffman, M.D. is the medical director at NTC, and, after the acquisition, became our Chief Medical Officer and more recently, our President.

NTC, having performed a significant number of rEEG’s, serves an important resource in our product development, the expansion of our CNS Database, production system development and implementation, along with the integration of our rEEG services into a medical practice. Through NTC, we also expect to successfully develop marketing and patient acquisition strategies for our Laboratory Information Services business. Specifically, NTC is learning how to best communicate the advantages of rEEG to patients and referring physicians in the local market. We will share this knowledge and developed communication programs learned through NTC with other physicians using our services, which we believe will help drive market acceptance of our services. In addition, we plan to use NTC to train practitioners across the country in the uses of rEEG technology.

We view our Clinical Services business as secondary to our Laboratory Information Services business, and we have no current plans to expand this business.

Business operations

Since our inception, we have generated significant net losses. As of December 31, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $27.0 million. We incurred operating losses of $1.9 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We expect our net losses to continue for at least the next couple of years. We anticipate that a substantial portion of our capital resources and efforts will be focused on research and development, scale up of our commercial organization, and other general corporate purposes, including the payment of legal fees associated with our litigation. Research and development projects include the completion of more clinical trials which are necessary to further validate the efficacy of our products and services relating to our rEEG technology across different type of behavioral disorders, the enhancement of the CNS Database and, to a lesser extent, the identification of new medications that are often combinations of approved drugs.

The 2009 Private Placement Transaction

On August 26, 2009, we received gross proceeds of approximately $2,043,000 in the first closing of our private placement transaction with six investors. Pursuant to Subscription Agreements entered into with the investors, we sold approximately 38 Investment Units at $54,000 per Investment Unit. Each “Investment Unit” consists of 180,000 shares of our common stock and a five year non-callable warrant to purchase 90,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. After commissions and expenses, we received net proceeds of approximately $1,792,300 upon the first closing of our private placement. In connection with the first closing, and as more fully described in Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, certain promissory notes then outstanding were converted into shares of common stock and we issued warrants to the investors in connection with these note conversions.

On December 24, 2009, we had a second closing of our private placement in which we received additional gross proceeds of approximately $2,996,000 from 24 investors. At the second closing, we sold approximately 55 Investment Units on the same terms and conditions as the Investment Units sold at the first closing. After commissions and expenses, we received net proceeds of approximately $2,650,400 in connection with this second closing of our private placement.

On December 31, 2009, we had a third closing of our private placement in which we received additional gross proceeds of approximately $432,000 from 5 investors. At the third closing, we sold 8 Investment Units on the same terms and conditions as the Investment Units sold at the first closing. After commissions and expenses, we received net proceeds of approximately $380,200 in connection with this third closing of our private placement.

Prior to our private placement, we raised aggregate proceeds of $1,700,000 in fiscal year 2009 through the issuance of secured convertible promissory notes on each of March 30, May 14, and June 12, 2009. Upon the first closing of our private placement on August 26, 2009, these notes were converted into shares of our common stock, as more fully described in Note 2 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Matters Involving our Former Chief Executive Officer and Former Director, Leonard Brandt

On April 10, 2009, our Board of Directors voted to remove Len Brandt as the CEO of the Company and appointed George Carpenter as our CEO. On the same date, Mr. Brandt resigned as Chairman of the Board, but retained his seat on the Board of Directors. On June 19, 2009, Mr. Brandt informed us of his intention to call a special meeting of Company stockholders in lieu of an annual meeting, for the purpose of unseating the other members of the Board and replacing them with his nominees. Subsequently, Mr. Brandt made multiple mailings to stockholders purporting to give notice of a meeting, scheduled multiple dates for the meeting, and attempted to call and adjourn meetings on at least six occasions. Mr. Brandt failed to convene a quorum or take any action at any of these meetings.

Mr. Brandt finally attempted to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held on September 4, 2009, and purportedly held a meeting on that date, at which he claimed to have elected his own slate of directors. Subsequent to this purported meeting, Mr. Brandt filed an action under Section 225 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) seeking to validate the results of that purported meeting. Mr. Brandt also filed several other actions in the Delaware Chancery Court. He filed claims for breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the approval by our Board of the May 14, 2009 and June 18, 2009 bridge loans and the first closing of the private placement on August 26, 2009, and made a motion to preliminarily enjoin the voting of certain shares of our common stock and to prevent action by written consent by such stockholders. Mr. Brandt also sought a permanent injunction against the voting of these shares and to rescind their issuance. While these actions were pending, we were operating under what is commonly referred to as a “status quo” order, which maintained the Board of Directors in place immediately prior to the purported September 4 meeting (Messrs. Carpenter, Jones, Pappajohn, Thompson and Brandt, and Drs. Harbin and Vaccaro). The status quo order also placed certain restrictions on certain corporate actions during the pendency of the Section 225 action described above.

On December 2, 2009, following a two day trial, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered judgment for the Company and its incumbent directors in the Section 225 action and dismissed the action with prejudice. The entry of Judgment for the Company in the Section 225 action and dismissal of that action terminated the “status quo” order, including its restrictions on the Company’s ability to engage in certain corporate actions. The Chancery Court also denied Brandt’s motion for an injunction that sought to prevent the voting of shares issued by us in connection with the our bridge financings in May and June of 2009 and the securities offering in August 2009, dismissed Mr. Brandt's counterclaims alleging breaches of duties in connection with those transactions, and dismissed with prejudice another action brought by Mr. Brandt that claimed he had not been provided with information owed to him. Finally, the Court dismissed the claims by us against Mr. Brandt, without prejudice. On January 4, 2010, Brandt filed appeals with the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware in relation to certain of the above matters, including the Section 225 action, which the Company believes are without merit and intends to vigorously defend.

On September 29, 2009, we held our annual meeting of Stockholders at which each of George Carpenter, Henry Harbin, M.D., David Jones, John Pappajohn, Jerome Vaccaro, M.D. and Tommy Thompson were elected.

We filed an action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against Mr. Brandt and certain others in July 2009. Our complaint alleges a variety of violations of federal securities laws, including anti-fraud based claims under Rule 14a-9, solicitation of proxies in violation of the filing and disclosure dissemination requirements of Regulation 14A, and material misstatements and omissions in and failures to promptly file amendments to Schedule 13D. Mr. Brandt and the other defendants have filed counterclaims against us, alleging violations of federal securities laws relating to alleged actions and statements taken or made by us or our officers and directors in connection with Mr. Brandt’s proxy and consent solicitations. Given our victory in the Delaware Court of Chancery (which is now being appealed by Brandt), we have not determined whether or how we will pursue this action. Mr. Brandt may choose to proceed with his counterclaim.

We have expended substantial resources to pursue the defense of legal proceedings initiated by Mr. Brandt. Although the ruling by the Delaware Chancery Court appeared to be demonstrative, we will be required to expend additional resources as a result of the appeals to the Delaware Supreme Court filed by Brandt. We also do not know whether Mr. Brandt will institute new claims against us and the defense of any such claims could involve the expenditure of additional resources by the Company.

Publicly Announced Results of Clinical Trial

On November 2, 2009, we reported the results of a landmark study presented by Charles DeBattista, D.M.H, M.D., at the U.S. Psychiatric and Mental Health Congress. The poster presentation, titled Referenced-EEG® (rEEG) Efficacy Compared to STAR*D For Patients With Depression Treatment Failure: First Look At Final Results, highlighted a dramatic improvement in outcomes for patients with treatment resistant depression. In this study, our rEEG technology proved effective at predicting medication response for treatment-resistant patients approximately 65 percent of the time.

The study included 114 patients in 12 medical centers, including Harvard, Stanford, Cornell, UCI and Rush. The 12-week study found that rEEG significantly outperformed the modified STAR*D treatment algorithm. The difference, or separation, between rEEG and the control group was 50 and 100 percent for the study’s two primary endpoints. Typically, separation between a new treatment and a control group is less than 10 percent in antidepressant studies.

The study, the largest in our history, was a randomized, blinded, controlled, parallel group, multicenter study. The patients in the study experienced depression treatment failure of one or more SSRIs and/or had failure with at least two classes of antidepressants. The patients fell into two groups: 1) those treated with rEEG medication guidance, and 2) those treated with the modified STAR*D treatment algorithm.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenues

Our Laboratory Information Services revenues are derived from the sale of rEEG Reports to physicians. Physicians are generally billed upon delivery of a rEEG Report. The list prices of our rEEG Reports to physicians range from $200 to $800 with $400 being the most frequent charge.

Patient service revenue is generated as a result of providing services to patients on an outpatient basis. Patient service revenue is recorded at our established billing rates less contractual adjustments. Generally, collection in full is not expected on our established billing rates. Contractual adjustments are recorded to state our patient service revenue at the amount we expect to collect for the services provided based on amounts due from third-party payors at contractually determined rates.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues are for Laboratory Information Services and represent the cost of direct labor, costs associated with external processing, analysis and consulting review necessary to render an individualized test result and miscellaneous support expenses. Costs associated with performing our tests are expensed as the tests are performed. We continually evaluate the feasibility of hiring our own personnel to perform most of the processing and analysis necessary to render an rEEG Report.

Cost of revenues for Clinical Services are not broken out separately but are included in general and administrative expenses.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses are associated with our Laboratory Information Services and primarily represent costs incurred to design and conduct clinical studies, to recruit patients into the studies, to improve rEEG processing, to add data to the CNS Database, to improve analytical techniques and advance application of the methodology to additional clinical diagnosis. We charge all research and development expenses to operations as they are incurred.

Sales and Marketing

For our Laboratory Information Services, our selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel and media cost to inform consumers of our products and services. Additional marketing expenses are the costs of educating physicians, laboratory personnel, other healthcare professionals regarding our products and services.

For our Clinical Services, selling and marketing costs relate to advertising to attract patients to the clinic.

General and Administrative

Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel, occupancy, legal, consulting and administrative and support costs for both our Laboratory Information Services and Clinical Services businesses.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could therefore differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We have generated limited revenues since our inception. Revenues for our Laboratory Service product are recognized when a rEEG Report is delivered to a Client-Physician. For our Clinical Services, revenues are recognized when the services are performed.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash charge, results from stock option grants. Compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award. We recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the underlying option. The amount of stock-based compensation expense expected to be amortized in future periods may decrease if unvested options are subsequently cancelled or may increase if future option grants are made.

Results of Operations for the three months Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

As earlier described, we operate in two business segments: Laboratory Information Services and Clinical Services. Our Laboratory Information Services business focuses on the delivery of reports ("rEEG Reports") that assist physicians with treatment strategies for patients with behavioral (psychiatric and/or addictive) disorders based on the patient's own physiology. Our Clinical Services business, operated through NTC, provides full psychiatric services.

The following table presents unaudited consolidated statement of operations data for each of the periods indicated as a percentage of revenues.

Revenues

	Three Months Ended December 31, 2009		Three Months Ended December 31, 2008		Percent Change

Laboratory Service Revenues	$	22,400	$	28,400		(21	)%
Clinical Service Revenues		121,100		143,200		(15	)%
Total Revenues	$	143,500	$	171,600		(16	)%

With respect to our Laboratory Information Services business, the number of non-clinical study related rEEG Reports delivered for the period decreased from 74 in 2008 to 58 in 2009 (clinical study and training related rEEG reports are provided free of charge). We anticipate that Laboratory Services Revenues will increase with the publication of our Clinical Trial results in a peer reviewed journal later this year and with our planned increase in sales and marketing activities.

Our Clinical Services revenue is as a result of patient billings for psychiatric services rendered. Revenues fell by $22,100 in the three months ended December 31, 2009 versus the same period in 2008 due to fewer new patients being treated. Currently, we do not plan to significantly expand our Clinical Services business, and therefore we do not anticipate a significant increase in revenues generated by this business segment.

Cost of Revenues

	Three Months Ended December 31, 2009		Three Months Ended December 31, 2008		Percent Change

Cost of Laboratory Information Services revenues	$	29,700	$	33,500		(11	)%

Cost of Laboratory Information Services revenues consists of payroll, consulting, and other miscellaneous costs. Consulting costs primarily represent external costs associated with the processing and analysis of rEEG Reports and range between $75 and $100 per rEEG Report. For the three months ended December 31, 2009, cost of revenues of $29,700 consist primarily of direct labor and benefit costs of $24,700, which includes stock-based compensation, and consulting fees of $5,000. For the same period ended December 31, 2008, cost of revenues of $33,500 consisted primarily of direct labor and benefit costs of $26,400, including stock-based compensation, and consulting fees of $6,800. We expect costs of revenues will increase as an absolute number as more rEEG Reports are processed. However, we expect cost of revenues to decrease as a percentage of revenues as we improve our operating efficiency.

Research and Development

	Three Months Ended December 31, 2009		Three Months Ended December 31, 2008		Percent Change

Laboratory Information Services research and development	$	233,100	$	682,400		66	%

Research and development expenses consist of clinical study patient expenses, payroll and benefit costs (including stock-based compensation), costs associated with our patent portfolio, consulting fees, marketing and recruitment costs, database enhancements and maintenance costs, travel and conference and other miscellaneous costs. Research and development costs for the three months ended December 31, 2009, totaled $233,100 and were largely comprised of the following: payroll and benefit costs of $189,500, patent costs of $10,600, consulting costs of $18,400, database costs of $1,000, insurance costs of $9,400 and travel and conference costs of $1,300. For the three months ended December 31, 2008 research and development costs totaled $682,400 and were largely comprised of the following: clinical study patient costs of $359,300, payroll and benefit costs of $199,600, patent costs of $56,700, consulting costs of $8,600, marketing and recruiting costs $34,000, database costs of $6,300, insurance costs of $9,000 and travel and conference costs of $5,700.

Clinical study patient costs decreased by $359,000 in the 2009 quarter as our clinical trial had met its recruitment goals and the enrollees had been processed before the start of the 2009 quarter, whereas the study was in process during the 2008 quarter. Similarly, marketing and recruitment costs, database costs and travel and conference costs decreased by $34,000, $5,300 and $4,500 respectively in the 2009 quarter as compared with the 2008 quarter. However, consultant costs for the 2009 quarter increased by $9,800 from the prior year as the clinical trial results were being analyzed by specialist consultants. Patent costs decreased by $46,100 in the 2009 quarter as the company did not incur costs associated with the filing of new patent applications during the period. Payroll and benefit and miscellaneous costs remained consistent for the 2009 and 2008 quarters.

We expect that Research and Development expenses will increase as we conduct additional clinical studies to validate the efficacy of our rEEG technology. We also plan to increase Research and Development expenditures to expand the pharmacological range of our CNS Database and improve its functionality. We are applying for grants which, if obtained, will fund and help us accelerate our research and development efforts.

Sales and marketing

	Three Months Ended December 31, 2009		Three Months Ended December 31, 2008		Percent Change
Sales and Marketing
Laboratory Information Services	$	198,400	$	260,600		(24	)%
Clinical Services		2,000		2,600		(23	)%
Total Sales and Marketing	$	200,400	$	263,200		(24	)%

Sales and marketing expenses associated with our Laboratory Information Services business consist primarily of payroll and benefit costs, consulting fees, marketing costs, computer services, travel and conference costs. Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2009 were comprised of the following: payroll and benefit costs of $135,600, consulting fees of $22,600, marketing costs of $33,200, computer services costs of $3,000, and travel and conference costs of $2,700. For the three months ended December 31, 2008 the company incurred: payroll and benefit costs of $172,700, consulting fees of $19,100, marketing costs of $21,000, computer services costs of $24,600, and travel and conference costs of $17,800.

In the 2009 quarter, payroll and benefits decreased by $37,100 from the comparable prior year period as a result of a reduction in personnel. Computer services and software costs and travel and conference costs also decreased by $21,600 and $15,200 respectively due to cost cutting measures. Marketing and recruitment costs increased by $12,200 in an effort to increase patient volume using direct-to-consumer advertizing in key markets

In fiscal 2010, we plan to introduce our rEEG technology to additional psychiatric providers and medical insurance payers, which will increase our sales and marketing costs.

Clinical Services sales and marketing expenses consist of advertising in various media so as to attract patients to our clinic in Denver. We do not anticipate materially increasing sales and marketing expenses relating to our Clinical Services business in fiscal 2010.

General and administrative

	Three Months Ended December 31, 2009		Three Months Ended December 31, 2008		Percent Change
General and administrative
Laboratory Information Services	$	1,388,700	$	474,900		192	%
Clinical Services	$	148,400	$	150,600		(1	)%
Total General and administrative	$	1,537,100	$	625,500		146	%

General and administrative expenses for our Laboratory Information Services business are primarily related to salaries and benefits (including stock-based compensation), legal and other professional fees, consulting service costs, general administration and occupancy costs, dues and fees, marketing and investor relations costs, and travel and conference costs. For the three months ended December 31, 2009 these expenses were as follows: Salaries and benefits $140,600, legal fees $877,600, other professional fees $61,900, consulting costs $114,700, general administration and occupancy costs $62,800, dues and fees $11,500, marketing and investor relations $68,600, and travel and conference costs $48,800. For the three months ended December 31, 2008 these expenses were: Salaries and benefits $238,800, legal fees $72,400, other professional fees $32,200, consulting costs $50,000, general administration and occupancy costs $42,500, dues and fees $15,400, marketing and investor relations costs $14,400, and travel and conference costs of $15,100.

Changes in general and administrative expenditures for the 2009 quarter were as follows: Salaries and benefit costs decreased by $98,200 as a result of staff reductions, including the termination of our former CEO, Leonard Brandt, in April 2009. Partly offsetting the reduction in salaries and benefits was an increase in consulting fees of $64,700 as a result of the hiring of consultants to perform functions previously undertaken by salaried personnel. Legal fees increased by $805,200 in the 2009 quarter primarily due to costs associated with defending against lawsuits brought by our former CEO, Leonard Brandt. Other professional fees increased by $29,700 partly due to audit fees being incurred in this quarter whereas they were incurred in the following quarter in the prior year. Marketing and investor relations costs increased by $54,200 due to increased communications with our investors during the quarter and as a result of the development of a publicity plan for the announcement of our clinical trial results. General administrative and occupancy costs increased by $20,300 compared to the prior year period, partially as a result of increased insurance costs. Travel and conference costs increased by $33,700 during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared to the prior year largely as a result of travel associated with our litigation with Mr. Brandt and our efforts to complete our private placement transaction.

General and administrative costs for our Clinical Services business for the three months ended December 31, 2009 were $148,400 which was consistent with costs incurred for the same period in the prior year. These costs include all expenses associated with running NTC, including all payroll costs, medical supply costs, occupancy costs and other general and administrative costs.

With respect to our Laboratory Information Services business, we earned interest income of $1,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 from interest bearing accounts which amount was offset by $2,400 of interest expense. For the comparable period in 2008, net interest income was $1,200.

Net Loss

	Three Months Ended December 31, 2009			Three Months Ended December 31, 2008			Percent Change

Laboratory Information Services net loss	$	(1,859,000	)	$	(1,424,400	)		31	%

Total Net Loss	$	(1,859,200	)	$	(1,431,900	)		30	%

The increase in net loss of $427,300 is due to an increase in our general and administrative costs, primarily due to litigation, which was partly offset by reductions in research and development costs with the completion of our clinical trial and reductions in sales and marketing costs.

We expect to incur a net loss in fiscal 2010 as we continue improving our rEEG technology and focus on the commercialization of our products.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses and as of December 31, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $27.0 million. We have not yet achieved profitability and anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses for the next year. We expect that our research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses will continue to grow. As a result, we will need to generate significant product revenues to achieve profitability which we may never achieve.

As of December 31, 2009 we had approximately $1.93 million in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital balance of approximately $106,000 compared to approximately $1.02 million in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of approximately $395,200 as at December 31, 2008.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on January 4, 2010, we raised additional net proceeds of $95,000 in connection with the fourth and final closing of our private placement.

Sources of Liquidity

Since our inception substantially all of our operations have been financed primarily from equity and debt financings. Through December 31, 2009, we had received proceeds of $13.6 million from the sale of stock, $4.8 million from the issuance of convertible promissory notes and $220,000 from the issuance of common stock to employees in connection with expenses paid by such employees on behalf of the company.

Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was $1.96 million compared to $0.95 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008. The increase of $1.01 million in cash used was primarily attributable to increased legal fees associated with the Brandt litigation and increases in marketing and investor relations, travel and general administration and occupancy costs.

Net cash proceeds from financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2009 were $2.92 million, net of placement agent fees, legal fees and other offering costs, raised on December 24 and 31, 2009 in connection with the second and third closings of our private placement transaction. These proceeds were partly offset by the repayment of $22,900 on a promissory note issued to Daniel Hoffman M.D. in connection with our acquisition of NTC. Net cash used by financing activities in the period ended December 31, 2008 primarily related to the payment of $21,000 on the promissory note issued to Daniel Hoffman M.D in connection with our NTC acquisition.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

As of December 31, 2009, we have a contractual obligation to pay the remaining balance on a promissory note to Daniel Hoffman M.D. of $95,800 issued in connection with our acquisition of NTC, which bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum. In December 2009, we signed a lease for our new headquarters and Laboratory Information Services premises located in Aliso Viejo, California. This lease expires on January 31, 2013 and our total rent obligation during the term of the lease is $129,300. Our lease for our Clinical Operation premises expires on February 28, 2010 and contractual obligations associated with this lease are immaterial. As of December 31, 2008, the balance outstanding on the aforementioned promissory note was $184,300 and our obligations for leased space were $97,300. Please see Notes 5 and 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements mentioned earlier in this report for further details.

Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements

We expect to continue to incur operating losses in the future and to make capital expenditures to expand our research and development programs (including upgrading our CNS Database) and to scale up our commercial operations and marketing efforts. We expect that our existing cash will be used to fund working capital and for capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes, including the repayment of debt incurred as a result of our litigation with Brandt. Although we recently received net proceeds of $2.92 million on December 24 and 31, 2009 upon the second and third closings of our private placement, we anticipate that our cash on hand (including the proceeds of $95,000 received from the fourth and final private placement closing on January 4, 2009) and cash generated through our operations will not be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. We therefore anticipate raising additional funds in the future.

The amount of capital we will need to conduct our operations and the time at which we will require such capital may vary significantly depending upon a number of factors, such as:

the amount and timing of costs we incur in connection with our research and product development activities, including enhancements to our CNS Database and costs we incur to further validate the efficacy of our rEEG technology;

the amount and timing of costs we incur in connection with the expansion of our commercial operations, including our selling and marketing efforts;

the extent to which we incur additional legal fees in our litigation with Brandt in relation to his appeals pending before the Delaware Supreme Court and his pending counterclaims in the United States District Court; and

if we expand our business by acquiring or investing in complimentary businesses.

Until we can generate a sufficient amount of revenues to finance our cash requirements, which we may never do, we expect to finance future cash needs primarily through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, borrowings or strategic collaborations. The issuance of equity securities may result in dilution to stockholders. We do not know whether additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, especially given the economic conditions that currently prevail. If we are not able to secure additional funding when needed, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more research and development programs or selling and marketing initiatives, and implement other cost saving measures.

Income Taxes

Since inception, we have incurred operating losses and, accordingly, have not recorded a provision for federal income taxes for any periods presented. As of December 31, 2009, we had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $22.6 million. If not utilized, the federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire beginning in 2028. Utilization of net operating loss and credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to restrictions contained in the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable if we experience an “ownership change”. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before they can be used.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements or financing activities with special purpose entities.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our principal executive officer (PEO) and principal financial officer (PFO), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by paragraph (e) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15, as of December 31, 2009, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our PEO and PFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2009 for the reasons described below.

The following significant deficiencies (as defined below) were identified, which in combination with other deficiencies may constitute a material weakness (as defined below):

We do not have proper segregation of duties within the accounting and finance function.

We do not have a comprehensive and formalized accounting and procedures manual.

We do not have personnel with sufficient financial expertise in the capacity of CFO.

A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

A “significant deficiency” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of our financial reporting.

To the knowledge of our management, including our PEO and PFO, none of the aforementioned significant deficiencies led to a misstatement of our results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2009, or statement of financial position as of December 31, 2009.

To address the identified significant deficiencies, the Company plans to increase its segregation of duties, particularly with respect to NTC, by having more accounting functions undertaken by personnel at Company headquarters. The Company is also planning to develop a comprehensive and formal accounting and procedures manual and intends to hire a Chief Financial Officer.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than as stated above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of exchange act rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
