NATURE OF
OPERATIONS
|
Organization
and Nature of Operations
CNS
Response, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on March 16, 1987,
under the name Age Research, Inc. Prior to January 16, 2007,
the Company (then called Strativation, Inc.) existed as a “shell company” with
nominal assets whose sole business was to identify, evaluate and investigate
various companies to acquire or with which to merge. On January 16,
2007, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger
Agreement”) with CNS Response, Inc., a California corporation formed on January
11, 2000 (“CNS California”), and CNS Merger Corporation, a California
corporation and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“MergerCo”)
pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire CNS California in a merger
transaction wherein MergerCo would merge with and into CNS California, with CNS
California being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). On March 7, 2007, the
Merger closed, CNS California became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
and on the same date the corporate name was changed from Strativation, Inc. to
CNS Response, Inc.
The
Company is a web-based neuroinformatic company that utilizes a patented system
that provides data to psychiatrists and other physicians/prescribers to enable
them to make a more informed decision when treating a specific patient 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 15, 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
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America which contemplate continuation of the company as a
going concern. 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 on terms acceptable to the Company.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
|
Basis
of Consolidation
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, 2010
and our operating results, cash flows, and changes in stockholders’ equity for
the interim periods presented. The September 30, 2010 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 audited
consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended September 30,
2010 which are included in our current report on Form 10-K, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on December 21, 2010.

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.
In
the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
except as otherwise indicated) necessary for a fair presentation for the periods
presented as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
The
results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2010 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods or
for the year ending September 30, 2011.
Derivative
Liabilities
The
Company applies ASC Topic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging,” which provides a
two-step model to determine whether a financial instrument or an embedded
feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the
scope exception in ASC 815-10-15-74. This standard triggers liability accounting
on all instruments and embedded features exercisable at strike prices based on
future equity-linked instruments issued at a lower rate. Using the
criteria in ASC 815, the Company determines which instruments or embedded
features that require liability accounting and records the fair values as a
derivative liability. The changes in the values of the derivative liabilities
are shown in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as “gain
(loss) on change in fair value of derivative liabilities.”
On
September 26, 2010, the Company’s board of directors approved a term sheet to
modify the terms of six convertible notes outstanding at that date in order to
induce additional investment in the form of convertible debt. The original
convertible notes were due in December 2010 with accrued interest at 9%,
convertible into common shares at $0.50 per share and had warrants exercisable
at strike price between $0.50 and $0.56. The Company modified the terms of these
notes to be due 12 months from the modification date with accrued interest at
9%, convertible into common shares at $0.30 per share, 50% warrant coverage
exercisable at $0.30 per share and increased the principal for accrued interest
through the modification date. Both the convertible note and warrants contained
ratchet provisions, which under ASC 815 required bifurcation of the conversion
feature and warrants for derivative liability treatment. As of September 30,
2010 the derivative liability was $2,061,900, which was comprised of the warrant
liability of $889,100 and the debt conversion option liability of
$1,172,800. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, an
additional $2,000,000 of convertible promissory notes were sold and 3,333,329
warrants issued. Additionally, all derivative liabilities were
revalued as of December 31, 2010 in accordance with ASC 815. As of
December 31, 2010, the derivative liability was $1,888,300, which was comprised
of a warrant liability of $1,029,500 and a debt conversion option liability of
$858,800.
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

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.

Reclassifications
Certain
amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current
period presentation. The reclassifications were made to change the income
statement presentation to provide the users of the financial statements
additional information related to the operating results of the Company. These
reclassifications include reclassifying the Company’s patent costs to
General and Administrative costs, as these patent related expenditures were
previously grouped with Research and Development costs. The
reclassifications had no effect on consolidated net income or consolidated
assets and liabilities.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
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 unaudited
condensed 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
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 does not expect the impact of the adoption of ASU 2010-06 to
have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements.

In
February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09 (“ASU
2010-09”) as amendments to certain recognition and disclosure requirements. The
amendments remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date in both
issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include
financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or
retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. Those amendments remove potential
conflicts with the SEC’s literature. All of the amendments in ASU 2010-09 were
effective upon issuance for interim and annual periods. The adoption of ASU
2010-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed

that it “would not object to a registrant incorporating the effects of the

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.” The Company does not expect the
provisions of ASU 2010-12 to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited

Private Placement Transactions
During
2010 we entered into a series of Bridge Note and Warrant Purchase Agreements as
described in detail below. On September 26, 2010, the Company’s Board
approved an approximate aggregate offering amount of $3 million by January 31,
2011, including for the exchange of Bridge Notes and Deerwood Notes and interest
on those notes. The fund raising efforts were successful and new
notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $3 million were issued
by November 12, 2010.
Bridge Notes and Warrants
On June 3, 2010, we entered into a
Bridge Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with John Pappajohn to purchase two
secured promissory notes (each, a “Bridge Note”) in the aggregate principal
amount of $500,000, with each Bridge Note in the principal amount of $250,000
maturing on December 2, 2010. On June 3, 2010, Mr. Pappajohn loaned
the Company $250,000 in exchange for the first Bridge Note (there were no
warrants issued in connection with this first note) and on July 25, 2010, Mr.
Pappajohn loaned us $250,000 in exchange for the second Bridge
Note. In connection with his purchase of the second Bridge Note, Mr.
Pappajohn received a warrant to purchase up to 250,000 shares of our common
stock. The exercise price of the warrant (subject to anti-dilution
adjustments, including for issuances of securities at prices below the
then-effective exercise price) was $0.50 per share.
Pursuant to a separate agreement that
we entered into with Mr. Pappajohn on July 25, 2010, we granted him a right to
convert his Bridge Notes into shares of our common stock at a conversion price
of $0.50. The conversion price was subject to customary anti-dilution
adjustments, but would never be less than $0.30. Each Bridge Note accrued
interest at a rate of 9% per annum.
Deerwood Notes and
Warrants
On July 5, 2010 and August 20, 2010, we
issued unsecured promissory notes (each, a “Deerwood Note”) in the aggregate
principal amount of $500,000 to Deerwood Partners LLC and Deerwood Holdings LLC,
with each investor purchasing two notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$250,000. Our director George Kallins and his spouse are the managing
members of these investors. The Deerwood Notes mature on December 15,
2010. We received $250,000 in gross proceeds from the issuance of the
first two notes on July 5, 2010 and another $250,000 in gross proceeds from the
issuance of the second two notes on August 20, 2010. In
connection with the August 20, 2010 transaction, each of the two investors also
received a warrant to purchase up to 75,000 shares of our common stock at an
exercise price (subject to anti-dilution adjustments, including for issuances of
securities at prices below the then-effective exercise price) of $0.56 per
share.
SAIL Venture Partners L.P. (“SAIL”), of
which our director David Jones is a managing partner, issued unconditional
guaranties to each of the Deerwood investors, guaranteeing the prompt and
complete payment when due of all principal, interest and other amounts under
each Deerwood Note. The obligations under each guaranty were
independent of our obligations under the Deerwood Notes and separate actions
could be brought against the guarantor. We entered into an oral agreement
to indemnify SAIL and grant to SAIL a security interest in our assets in
connection with the guaranties. In addition, on August 20, 2010, we granted SAIL
warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price (subject to anti-dilution adjustments, including for issuances of
securities at prices below the then-effective exercise price) of $0.56 per
share.
Each Deerwood Note accrued interest at
a rate of 9% per annum and was convertible into shares of our common stock
at a conversion price of $0.50. The conversion price was subject to
customary anti-dilution adjustments, but would never be less than
$0.30.
October Notes and Warrants
On October 1, 2010, we entered into a
Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with John
Pappajohn and SAIL as investors, pursuant to which we issued to the investors
secured convertible promissory notes (the “October Notes”) in the aggregate
principal amount of $1,011,700 and warrants to purchase up to 1,686,144 shares
of common stock. The Company received $500,000 in gross proceeds from the
issuance to these investors of October Notes in the aggregate principal amount
of $500,000 and related warrants to purchase up to 833,332 shares. We
also issued October Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $511,700, and
related warrants to purchase up to 852,812 shares, to Mr. Pappajohn in exchange
for the cancellation of the two Bridge Notes originally issued to him on June 3,
2010 and July 25, 2010 in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (and
accrued and unpaid interest on those notes) and a warrant to purchase up to
250,000 shares originally issued to him on July 25, 2010. The transaction closed
on October 1, 2010.

principal amount of $500,000 (and accrued and unpaid interest on those notes)
and warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 150,000 shares originally issued
on August 20, 2010. The related guaranties and oral indemnification
and security agreement that had been entered into in connection with the
Deerwood Notes were likewise terminated. SAIL, of which our
director David Jones is a managing partner, issued unconditional guaranties to
each of the Deerwood investors, guaranteeing the prompt and complete payment
when due of all principal, interest and other amounts under the October Notes
issued to such investors. The obligations under each guaranty are
independent of our obligations under the October Notes and separate actions may
be brought against the guarantor. In connection with its serving as
guarantor, we granted SAIL warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 341,498
shares of common stock. The warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of
common stock previously granted to SAIL on August 20, 2010 were
canceled.
On
November 12, 2010, a tenth accredited investor executed the Purchase
Agreement. In connection therewith, the Company issued Notes in the
aggregate principal amount of $400,000 and Warrants to purchase up to 666,666
shares of common stock of the Company, to the investor on such
date. The Company received $352,000 in net proceeds from the
investor. Monarch acted as non-exclusive placement agent with
respect to the placement of the Note in the aggregate principal amount of
$400,000 and related Warrants, pursuant to the abovementioned engagement
agreement, dated September 30, 2010. In connection with the November
12, 2010 closing, Monarch received a cash fee of $40,000 and a cash expense
allowance of $8,000 and will receive a Placement Agent Warrant to purchase
133,333 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.33 per
share.
The
Purchase Agreement provides for the issuance and sale of October Notes, for cash
or in exchange for outstanding convertible notes, in the aggregate principal
amount of up to $3,000,000 plus an amount corresponding to accrued and unpaid
interest on any exchanged notes, and warrants to purchase a number of shares
corresponding to 50% of the number of shares issuable on conversion of the
October Notes. The agreement provides for multiple closings, but
mandates that no closings may occur after January 31, 2011. The
Purchase Agreement also provides that the Company and the holders of the October
Notes will enter into a registration rights agreement covering the registration
of the resale of the shares underlying the October Notes and the related
warrants.
The
October Notes mature one year from the date of issuance (subject to earlier
conversion or prepayment), earn interest equal to 9% per year with interest
payable at maturity, and are convertible into shares of common stock of the
Company at a conversion price of $0.30. The conversion price is subject to
adjustment upon (1) the subdivision or combination of, or stock dividends paid
on, the common stock; (2) the issuance of cash dividends and distributions on
the common stock; (3) the distribution of other capital stock, indebtedness or
other non-cash assets; and (4) the completion of a financing at a price below
the conversion price then in effect. The October Notes are
furthermore convertible, at the option of the holder, into securities to be
issued in subsequent financings at the lower of the then-applicable conversion
price or price per share payable by purchasers of such
securities. The October Notes can be declared due and payable upon an
event of default, defined in the October Notes to occur, among other things, if
the Company fails to pay principal and interest when due, in the case of
voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or if the Company fails to perform any
covenant or agreement as required by the October Note.
Our
obligations under the terms of the October Notes are secured by a security
interest in the tangible and intangible assets of the Company, pursuant to a
Security Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2010, by and between us and John
Pappajohn, as administrative agent for the holders of the October
Notes. The agreement and corresponding security interest terminate if
and when holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of October
Notes issued have converted their October Notes into shares of common
stock.

The
warrants related to the October Notes expire seven years from the date of
issuance and are exercisable for shares of common stock of the Company at an
exercise price of $0.30. Exercise price and number of shares issuable
upon exercise are subject to adjustment (1) upon the subdivision or combination
of, or stock dividends paid on, the common stock; (2) in case of any
reclassification, capital reorganization or change in capital stock and (3) upon
the completion of a financing at a price below the exercise price then in
effect. Any provision
of the October Notes or related warrants can be amended, waived or modified upon
the written consent of the Company and holders of a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of such notes outstanding. Any such consent will
affect all October Notes or warrants, as the case may be, and will be binding on
all holders thereof.
The
Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to 110% of the conversion
price of the Notes and an exercise period of five years. The terms of
the Placement Agent Warrants, except for the exercise price and period, are
identical to the terms of the warrants related to the October
Notes.
In issuing the securities described in
this section without registration under the Securities Act, the Company relied
upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act and in Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as the
securities were issued to accredited investors, without a view to
distribution, and were not issued through any general solicitation or
advertisement.
As of
December 31, 2010 outstanding convertible promissory notes were $3,023,900
(including $23,900 corresponding to accrued and unpaid interest on the exchanged

Stock-Option
Plan
On August
3, 2006, CNS California adopted the CNS California 2006 Stock Incentive Plan
(the “2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan provides for the issuance of awards in the form
of restricted shares, stock options (which may constitute incentive stock
options (ISO) or non-statutory stock options (NSO), stock appreciation rights
and stock unit grants to eligible employees, directors and consultants and is
administered by the board of directors. A total of 10 million shares of stock
were initially reserved for issuance under the 2006
Plan.
The 2006
Plan initially provided 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.
On March
3, 2010, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2006 Plan which
increased the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan from 10
million to 20 million shares of stock. The amendment also increased
the limit on shares issued within a calendar year to any eligible employee or
director from 3 million to 4 million shares of stock. The amendment
was approved by shareholders at the annual meeting held on April 27,
2010.
On March
3, 2010, the Board of Directors also approved the grant of 9,150,000 options to
staff members, directors, advisors and consultants, of which 8,650,000 were in
fact granted. For staff members the options will vest equally over a
48 month period while for directors, advisors and consultants the options will
vest equally over a 36 month period. The effective grant date for
accredited investors was March 3, 2010 and the exercise price of $0.55 per share
was based on the quoted closing share price of the Company’s stock at the time
of grant. For non-accredited investors the grant date will be
determined at some time after obtaining a permit from the State of California
allowing the granting of options to non-accredited investors. This
permit was granted by the State of California in July 2010. No
options have been granted to non-accredited investors at this

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, 2010 and 2009, the Company has excluded all common equivalent shares from
the calculation of diluted net loss per share as such securities are
anti-dilutive.
A summary

for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 is as

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT
LIABILITIES
|
Litigation
From time
to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising
out of the Company’s operations in the ordinary course of business. Other than
as set forth below, the Company is not currently party to any legal proceedings,
the adverse outcome of which, in the Company’s management’s opinion,
individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s results of operations or financial position.
Since
June of 2009, the Company has been involved in litigation against Leonard J.
Brandt, a stockholder, former director and the Company’s 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, 2009, 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. On
April 20, 2010, the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the ruling of the Chancery
Court.
The Chancery
Court also denied an injunction sought by Mr. Brandt to prevent the voting
of shares issued by the Company in connection with the Company’s 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, on April 20, 2010, affirmed the ruling of the
Chancery Court.
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.
In July
2009, the Company filed an action in the United States District Court for the
Central District of California against Mr. Brandt and certain
others. The Company’s complaint alleged 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 filed
counterclaims against us, alleging violations of federal securities laws
relating to alleged actions and statements taken or made by the Company or the
Company’s officers and directors in connection with Mr. Brandt’s proxy and
consent solicitations. On March 10, 2010, the Company dismissed the
Company’s claims against EAC, and EAC dismissed its claims against the Company
and Mr. Carpenter. On April 10, 2010, Mr. Brandt's attorneys moved to
withdraw from representing Mr. Brandt in the case. On July 7, 2010,
Mr. Brandt moved to dismiss his counterclaims against the Company and the
Company consented to dismiss its complaint against Mr. Brandt. On
July 13, 2010, all of the Company’s claims and Mr. Brandt’s counterclaims in
such action were dismissed. This resolved all pending actions between
the Company and Mr. Brandt.
The
Company has expended substantial resources to pursue the defense of legal
proceedings initiated by Mr. Brandt. The Company does not know
whether Mr. Brandt will institute new claims against the Company and the
defense of any such claims could involve the expenditure of additional resources
by the Company.
Lease
Commitments
The
Company leased its headquarters and Neurometric 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.

misleading. The following events occurred since December 31,
2010.
On
January 20, February 3 and February 8, 2011, we sold convertible unsecured
notes (the “Unsecured Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $350,000 and
warrants to purchase 583,552 shares of common stock to three accredited
investors in connection with a new private placement pursuant to a note and
warrant purchase agreement, under which we can issue an aggregate of up to $5
million in aggregate principal amount of Unsecured Notes, as well as related
warrants. The terms of the Unsecured Notes are identical to the terms
of the October Notes, except that (i) the Unsecured Notes are not secured by any
of our assets, (ii) the Unsecured Notes are subordinated in all respects to our
obligations under the October Notes and the related guaranties issued to certain
investors by SAIL and (iii) the Company is not subject to a restrictive covenant
to use the use of proceeds from the sale of the Unsecured Notes only for current
operations. The terms of the new warrants are identical to the terms
of the warrants issued in connection with the October Notes.

Overview
We are a
web-based neuroinformatic analysis company with two distinct business segments.
Our primary business is the Neurometric Information Services (formerly called
Laboratory Information Services) business operated by CNS California, which is
focused on neurometric analysis, research, development and the commercialization
of a patented system that provides data to psychiatrists and other physicians to
enable them to make more informed, patient-specific decisions when treating
individual patients with behavioral (psychiatric and/or addictive)
disorders. Our secondary Clinical Services business, operated by our
wholly-owned subsidiary, Neuro-Therapy Clinic (“NTC”), is a full service
psychiatric clinic.
Neurometric
Information Services
Traditionally,
prescription of medication for the treatment of behavioral disorders (such as
depression, bipolar disorders, eating disorders, addiction, anxiety disorders,
ADHD and schizophrenia) has been primarily based on symptomatic factors, while
the underlying physiology and pathology of the disorder can rarely be analyzed,
which often results in multiple ineffective, costly, and often lengthy, courses
of treatment before the effective medications are identified. Some
patients never find effective medications.
We
believe that our technology offers an improvement upon traditional methods for
determining a course of medication for patients suffering from non-psychotic
behavioral disorders because our technology is designed to correlate the success
of courses of medication with the neurophysiological characteristics of a
particular patient. Our technology provides medical professionals with
medication sensitivity data for a subject patient based upon the identification
and correlation of treatment outcome information from other patients with
similar neurophysiologic characteristics. This treatment
outcome information is contained in a proprietary outcomes database which
consists of over 17,000 medication trials for patients with psychiatric or
addictive problems (the “ CNS
Database ”). For each patient in the CNS Database, we have
compiled electroencephalographic (“ EEG ”) scans, symptoms and
outcomes often across multiple treatments from multiple psychiatrists and
physicians. This patented technology, called “Referenced-EEG®” or
“rEEG®”, represents an innovative approach to identifying effective medications
for patients suffering from debilitating behavioral disorders.
With
rEEG®, physicians order a digital EEG for a patient, which is then evaluated
with reference to the CNS Database. By providing this reference
correlation, an attending physician can better determine a treatment strategy
with the knowledge of how other patients having similar brain function have
previously responded to a myriad of different treatment
alternatives. Analysis of this complete data set yielded a platform
of 74 neurometric variables that have shown utility in characterizing patient
response to diverse medications. This platform then allows a new
patient to be characterized, based on these 74 neurometric variables, and the
database to be queried to understand the statistical probability of how patients
with similar brain patterns have previously responded to the medications
currently in the database. This technology allows us to create and provide
simple reports (“ rEEG
Reports ”) to the prescriber that summarizes historical treatment success
of specific medications for those patients with similar neurometric brain
patterns. It provides neither a diagnosis nor a specific
treatment, but like all lab results, provides objective, evidenced-based
information to help the prescriber in their decision-making.
Our
Neurometric Information Services business is focused on increasing the demand
for our rEEG Reports. We believe the key factors that will drive broader
adoption of our rEEG Reports will be the acceptance by healthcare providers and
patients of their benefit, the demonstration of the cost-effectiveness of using
our technology, the reimbursement by third-party payers, the expansion of our
sales force and increased marketing efforts.
In
addition to its utility in providing psychiatrists and other
physicians/prescribers with medication sensitivity guidance, rEEG provides us
with significant opportunities in the area of pharmaceutical development.
rEEG, in combination with the information contained in the CNS Database, has the
potential to enable the identification of novel uses for neuropsychiatric
medications currently on the market and in late stages of clinical development,
as well as in aiding the identification of neurophysiologic characteristics of
clinical subjects that may be successfully treated with neuropsychiatric
medications in the clinical testing stage. We intend to enter into relationships
with established drug and biotechnology companies to further explore these
opportunities, although no relationships are currently
contemplated. The development of pathophysiological markers as the
new method for identifying the correct patient population to research is being
encouraged by both The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and The Food
and Drug Administration (FDA).
Clinical
Services
In
January 2008, we acquired our then 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 larger psychiatric
medication management practices in the state of Colorado, with six full time and
seven 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.
22
NTC,
having performed a significant number of rEEG’s, serves as 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 develop
marketing and patient acquisition strategies for our Neurometric 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 Neurometric 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, 2010, we
had an accumulated deficit of approximately $33.5 million, and as of December
31, 2009, our accumulated deficit was approximately $27.0 million. We
incurred operating losses of $1.5 million and $1.8 million for the three months
ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively and incurred net losses of $98
thousand and $1.8 million for those respective periods (with the low net loss in
the quarter ended December 31, 2010 being primarily due to the effect of a
non-cash gain on change in fair value of derivative liabilities). 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 the scale-up of our commercial organization, research and product
development and other general corporate purposes. 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 types of behavioral disorders; the
enhancement of the CNS Database and rEEG process, and to a lesser extent, the
identification of new medications that are often combinations of approved
drugs. We anticipate that future research and development projects
will be funded by grants or third-party sponsorship.
As of
December 31, 2010, our current liabilities of approximately $4.7 million
exceeded our current assets of approximately $0.8 million by approximately
$3.9 million and our net losses will continue for the foreseeable
future. As part of the $4.7 million of current liabilities we had
$3.0 million, plus accrued interest, of secured convertible debt which is
discounted to $0.6 million. Since December 31, 2010, we have raised
an additional $350,000 from the issuance of subordinated convertible debt;
however, we still need additional funding to continue our operations plus
substantial additional funding before we can increase the demand for our rEEG
services. We are currently exploring additional sources of capital;
however, we do not know whether additional funding will be available on
acceptable terms, or at all, especially given the economic conditions that
currently prevail. Furthermore, any additional equity funding may result
in significant dilution to existing stockholders, and, if we incur additional
debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be
dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness, thus
limiting the funds available for our business activities. If adequate
funds are not available, we may be required to delay or curtail significantly
our development and commercialization activities. This would have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of
operations and could ultimately cause us to have to cease
operations.
The
Private Placement Transactions
The
2010 and 2011 Private Placement Transactions
From June
3 through November 12, 2010, we raised $3.0 million through the sale of secured
convertible notes and warrants to accredited investors. Of such amount, $1.75
million was purchased by members of our Board of Directors or their affiliate
companies. See “Part II - Item 2. Unregistered Sales
of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.” On January 20,
February 3 and February 8, 2011, we sold convertible unsecured notes in an
aggregate principal amount of $350,000 and warrants to purchase 583,332
shares of common stock to accredited investors. See “Part II - Item
5. Other Information.”
23
Critical
Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
This
management’s discussion and analysis of 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.
Derivative
accounting for convertible debt and warrants
The
Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and
equity under ASC 480-10 and ASC 815-10 whereby the Company determines the fair
market carrying value of a financial instrument using the Black-Scholes model
and revalues the fair market value on a quarterly basis. Any changes
in carrying value flow through as other income (expense) in the income
statement.
As earlier described, we operate in two business
segments: Neurometric Information Services and Clinical Services. Our
Neurometric Information Services business focuses on the delivery of
reports ("rEEG Reports") that enable psychiatrists and other
physician/prescribers to make more informed, patient-specific decisions when
treating individual patients for behavioral (psychiatric and/or addictive)
disorders based on the patient's own physiology. Our Clinical Services business
operated through NTC provides full service psychiatric
services.

Clinical
Service revenues remained constant for the two three month periods ended
December 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively. Although we had hired an
additional psychiatrist, she was unable to significantly impact revenue growth
as she needed to be vetted and approved by the healthcare insures before being
reimbursed for billings. These approvals have now all been received
and we anticipate that revenues will grow.

Cost of
Neurometric 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, 2010, cost of revenues of $36,100 consist primarily of direct
labor and benefit costs of $27,500, which includes stock-based compensation, and
consulting fees of $7,000. For the same period ended December 31,
2009, cost of revenues of $29,700 consisted primarily of direct labor and
benefit costs of $24,700, including stock-based compensation, and consulting
fees of $5,000. We expect costs of revenues will increase as an
absolute number as more rEEG Reports are processed. However, we expect the cost
of revenues to decrease as a percentage of revenues as we improve our operating
efficiency and increase the automation of certain processes.

months ended December 31, 2010, included the following: payroll and
benefit costs (including stock based compensation) of $272,700, consultant
costs of $58,000 and other miscellaneous costs of $24,700 which include travel,

Comparing
the three months ended December 31, 2010 with the corresponding period in
2009, the focus of the research and development department moved from
conducting the clinical study to analyzing the data and drafting scientific
papers for publications. Additionally, the focus moved to enhancing
the rEEG production system and efforts related to our 510(k) application with
the FDA. With this shift in focus, consulting fees increased by
$39,600: in total $3,000 was spent on research and $55,000 was spent on product
enhancements and compliance in the three months ended December 31,
2010. Payroll and benefits increased by $83,200 in the 2010
period compared to the prior year period primarily due to the reassignment of a
staff member between departments, the increase in stock-based compensation
and the accrual of severance pay.

Sales and
marketing expenses associated with our Neurometric Information Services business
consist primarily of payroll and benefit costs, including stock-based
compensation; advertising and marketing; consulting fees and conference and
travel expenses. Sales and marketing expenses for the three
months ended December 31, 2010 included the following expenses: payroll and
benefits $175,700, advertising and marketing $3,600, consulting $36,800 and
conferences and travel $23,900. For the comparable period in 2009, expenses were
as follows: payroll and benefits $135,600, advertising and marketing $33,200,
consulting $22,600 and conferences and travel $2,700.
Comparing
the three months ended December 31, 2010, with the same period in
2009; payroll and benefits increased by $40,100 in the 2010 period
primarily as a result of the recruitment of our Executive Vice President and
Chief Marketing Officer to lead our marketing efforts in pursuing contracts with
large targeted organizations. Advertising and marketing expenses
decreased by $29,600 as advertising was had been curtailed while the Company had
awaited resolution to its 510(k) application with the
FDA. Consequently, in the three months ended December 31, 2010,
marketing efforts were still limited to the development of the
provider network and focused on payer organizations, whereas for the 2009
period, the Company was more actively executing its advertising and marketing
plans. Conference and travel expenses increased by $21,200 in the
2010 period as our targeted customers were predominately based on the East
Coast, necessitating multiple cross-country visits to these key clients.
The
Clinical Services sales and marketing expenses consists of advertising to
attract patients to the clinic. During the three months ended December 31, 2010,
Clinical Services marketing expenditures were approximately the same as in the
prior year’s period. We anticipate a moderate increase in marketing
expenditure as we have determined that select radio advertizing is effective in
attracting new patients to the clinic: with the addition of our newly
recruited psychiatrist, the clinic’s capacity to treat new patients has
increased.

General
and Administrative expenses for our Neurometric Information Services business
are largely comprised of payroll and benefit costs, including stock based
compensation, legal, patent costs, other professional and consulting fees,
general administrative and occupancy costs, conference and travel and
miscellaneous costs. For the three months ended December 31,
2010, General and Administrative costs included the following: salaries and
benefit costs of $413,300; legal fees of $113,200; other professional and
consulting fees of $149,100; general administrative and occupancy costs of
$50,600; patent costs of $58,800; marketing and investor relations expenses of
$3,300 and conference and travel expenses of $25,200. For the same period
in 2009, General and Administrative costs included the following: salaries
and benefit costs of $140,600; legal fees of $877,600; other professional
and consulting fees of $176,600; general administrative and occupancy costs of
$63,700; patent costs of $10,600; marketing and investor relations expenses of
$68,600 and conference and travel expenses of $48,800.
With
respect to our Neurometric Information Services business, in the three months
ended December 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009, payroll and
benefit expenses increased by a net $272,700, of which $190,300 was due to an
increase in stock-based compensation primarily due to accounting for vested
option grants given to employees, directors, advisors and consultants in March
and July of 2010. The balance of the increase, $82,400, was due to
(i) the addition of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), who was previously
engaged as a consultant, and joined the staff in mid February 2010 and (ii) the
Board-approved increase in salary of our Chief Executive Officer
(CEO). Professional and consulting fees decreased by a net
$27,454 which was partly due to the mix of consulting services used in fiscal
2010: these fees included $30,000 associated with financial advisory services
used to obtain funding, $5,500 used for accounting services, $19,000 used for
public relations services and $21,800 used for consultants who have experience
with health insurance payers. Legal fees decreased by a net $764,400
which was made up of a $771,500 reduction in litigation fees in defending
against actions brought by Mr. Brandt plus a $30,500 insurance reimbursement
paid on behalf of SAIL Venture Partners, LP, which was a co-defendant in the
litigation. This reimbursed expense had originally been accrued by the
Company. All matters between Mr. Brandt and us have either been dismissed
or adjudicated in our favor. Non-litigation related legal expense
increased by $37,600 partly due to the work undertaken with the Company’s
registration statement and financing efforts. General administrative
and occupancy costs decreased by $13,100 due to general decreases in
expenditures. Patent costs increased by $48,200, of which
$44,000 was for the filing of European patent applications. Marketing
and investor relations expenses decreased by $65,300 as expenses associated
with a publicity campaign planned for the 2009 period did not recur in the 2010
period. Conference and travel costs decreased by $53,400 in the
2010 period as travel associated with the litigation and financings in the 2009
period did not recur.
General
and Administrative expenses for our Clinical Services business includes all
costs associated with operating NTC. This includes payroll costs,
medical supplies, occupancy costs and other general and administrative support
costs. These costs increased by $72,700 to $221,100 in the three
months ending December 31, 2010, from $148,400 in the 2009
quarter. This increase is partly due to the hiring of an additional
psychiatrist and partly due to the reduced reimbursement by Neurometric
Information Services of NTC staff who had worked on the Company’s clinical trial
which ended in 2009.

Firstly,
we incurred non-cash interest charges totaling $2,626,600 on our promissory
notes which accrue interest at 9%, on our warrant discount amortization and our
warrant and note conversion derivative liability charges. Interest
paid in cash for the quarter was approximately $1,000.
27
Secondly,
finance fees totaling $142,700 were incurred in association with our private
placement of convertible notes (the October Notes). Of these finance
fees $60,000 was paid in cash and $82,700 was the fair value of warrants that
were issued to the placement agent and SAIL Venture Partners, LP guarantying the
Deerwood notes (See Note 3 to
the financial statements and Private Placement Transactions
above).
Lastly,
our derivative liabilities for the conversion feature and warrants associated
with the October notes were revalued at December 31, 2010. As a
result of the revaluation of these derivatives, which is required on a quarterly
basis under ASC 815, a non-cash gain of $4,217,500 was booked. This
large gain was due to a decline in the market price of our stock on the last two
trading days of the calendar year 2010 with the closing price being at $0.20 on
December 31, 2010. The average closing market price of our stock for
the three months ending December 31, 2010 was $0.45. Since the
derivative liabilities are valued using the Black-Scholes model, the combination
of the high volatility of our stock price and the low price at the end of the
period resulted in an anomalous large gain. If and when the market
price of our stock reverts to its recent average level, this gain will unwind
and will result in a loss on valuation of derivative liabilities in future
periods.
For the
three months ending December 2009, Neurometric Information Services and Clinical
Services combined incurred a net interest charge of $1,600. There were no
significant transactions during this period which impacted the “Other
Income” line item.

The net
profit for our Neurometric Information Services business of approximately $13
thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the 2009
quarter’s loss of $1.86 million was almost entirely due to the gain on the
valuation of derivative liabilities as explained above under “Other Income
(expense)”. Disregarding the effect of the gain on the valuation of
derivative liabilities net of the non-cash interest charges in establishing the
derivative liabilities during the three months ended December 31, 2010, our net
loss during that period would have been $1.75. Additionally, we also
experienced a significant reduction in our General and Administrative expenses
in the 2010 quarter compared to the corresponding prior year period as a result
of not having the Brandt litigation, which occurred in 2009
The
increase in the net loss for our Clinical Services business of approximately
$110 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the
corresponding prior year period was the result of the reduced reimbursement by
Neurometric Information Services for Clinical Services staff who worked on the
clinical trial which ended in 2009; additionally, expenses were also impacted by
the costs associated with the hiring of a new psychiatrist. Although we needed
an additional psychiatrist on staff to help drive up revenues, she was unable to
bill healthcare insurers until she was vetted and approved by the insurers.
These approvals were finally all received in December; however this was too late
to significantly impact revenue growth for the quarter.
Since our
inception, we have incurred significant losses. As of December 31,
2010, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $33.5 million. We have not
yet achieved profitability and anticipate that we will continue to incur net
losses for the foreseeable future. We expect that our research and development,
sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses will continue to
grow and, as a result, we will need to generate significant product revenues to
achieve profitability. We may never achieve profitability.
As of
December 31, 2010, we had approximately $697,000 in cash and cash equivalents
and a working capital deficit of approximately $3.9 million compared to
approximately $1.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital
balance of approximately $106,000 at December 31, 2009. The working
capital deficit as of December 31, 2010 includes the $3.0 million, plus accrued
interest, of secured convertible promissory notes (Bridge Notes and Deerwood
Notes) outstanding as of that date which have been discounted down to
approximately $600,000.

Operating
Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements
Our
continued operating losses and limited capital raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern, and we need to raise substantial
additional funds in the next 12 months in order to continue to conduct our
business. 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.
We need
additional funds to continue our operations and will need substantial additional
funds before we can increase demand for our rEEG services. We are
currently exploring additional sources of capital; however, we do not know
whether additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all,
especially given the economic conditions that currently prevail. In
addition, any additional equity funding may result in significant dilution to
existing stockholders, and, if we incur additional debt financing, a substantial
portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal
and interest on such indebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our
business activities. 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. If adequate funds
are not available, it would have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and/or results of operations, and could ultimately cause us
to have to cease operations.
Sources
of Liquidity
Since our
inception substantially all of our operations have been financed primarily from
equity and debt financings. Through December 31, 2010, we had
received proceeds of approximately $13.7 million from the sale of stock,
$9.7 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.
From June
3, 2010 through to November 12, 2010, we raised $3.0 million through the sale of
secured convertible notes and warrants (the October Notes). Of such
amount, $1.75 million was purchased by members of our Board of Directors or
their affiliate companies. In January and February 2011, the Company
has raised an additional $350,000 through the sale of subordinated convertible
notes and warrants. See Note 3 of the financial
statements, “Private Placement Transactions” above.
Cash
Flows
Net cash
used in operating activities was $1.2 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2010 compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended December
31, 2009. The decrease in cash used of $0.8 million is attributable
to the reduction in legal fees associated with the Brandt
litigation.
Net cash
used in investing activities increased to $15,900 for the three months ended
December 31, 2010, as compared to $0 for the three months ended December 31,
2009. Our investing activities related to the purchase of EEG
equipment to be used by a customer.
Net cash
proceeds from financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2010
were approximately $1.8 million, net of offering costs, raised through our sale
of secured convertible notes and warrants (the October
Notes). Additionally, we also entered into a capital lease of $15,900
to finance the purchase of the above mentioned EEG equipment. These
proceeds were partly offset by the repayment of $24,700 on a promissory note
issued to Daniel Hoffman in connection with our acquisition of NTC.
For
the three months ended December 31, 2009 proceeds from financing activities were
approximately $2.9, net of offering costs, in connection with the second and
third closings of our 2009 private placement transaction. These
proceeds were partly offset by the repayment of $22,900 on the above mentioned
promissory note issued to Daniel Hoffman.
Contractual
Obligations and Commercial Commitments
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
Neurometric 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 remaining
lease obligation totals $100,900: being $35,300, $49,000 and $16,600 for fiscal
years 2011, 2012 and 2013 respectively.
29
The
Company also leases space for its Clinical Services operations under an
operating lease. The original term of this lease expired on February
28, 2010 and a 37 month extension to the lease was negotiated commencing April
1, 2010 and terminating April 30, 2013. The 3,542 square foot facility has an
average cost for the lease term of $5,100 per month. The remaining lease
obligation totals $147,000: being $42,900, $65,400 and $38,700 for fiscal years
2011, 2012 and 2013 respectively.
The
Company also sub-leased space for its Clinical Services operations on a
month-to-month basis for $1,000 per month up until March 2010 when it terminated
this sub-lease and gave up the space.
The
Company incurred rent expense of $27,000 and $37,600 for the three months
ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
On
November 8, 2010 we entered into a finance lease to purchase EEG equipment
costing $15,900. The term of this lease is 48 months ending October
2014 and the monthly payment is $412. As of December 31, 2010 the remaining
lease obligation is $18,400: being $3,700, $4,900, $4,900 and $4,900 for fiscal
years 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 respectively.
Derivative
Liability
Current
liabilities include $1.9 million of derivative liability. This amount
includes:
|
1.
|
$1.0
million, which represents the fair value liability associated with the
warrants issued in conjunction with the October
Notes.
|
|
2.
|
$0.9
million, which represent the fair value liability associated with the
conversion option of the October Notes. (Please
see Note 3 to the financial statements or “Private Placement Transactions”
above.)
|
The
carrying value of these derivative liabilities will be reassessed each quarter
and any change in the carrying value will be booked to other income (expense) in
the income statement. For the three months ended December 31, 2010 we
booked a gain of $4.2 million in the carrying value of these
derivatives.
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 since December 31, 2010 we have raised gross
proceeds of $0.4 million through the sale of unsecured convertible
promissory notes, we anticipate that our cash on hand (including the proceeds
from these promissory notes) and cash generated through our operations will not
be sufficient to fund our operations the next 12 months. In addition
we will have to repay the outstanding notes plus interest beginning on October
1, 2011. We therefore anticipate raising additional funds in the near
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;
|
|
·
|
whether
we incur additional consulting and legal fees in our efforts to obtain
510(k) clearance from the FDA.
|
|
·
|
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.
30
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
September 30, 2010, we had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income
tax purposes of $24.7 million. If not utilized, the federal net operating loss
carryforwards will begin expiring in 2029. 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.

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, 2010, 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,
2010 for the reasons described below.
The
following significant deficiency was identified, which in combination with other
deficiencies may constitute a material weakness (as defined below):
|
·
|
We
do not have a comprehensive and formalized accounting and procedures
manual.
|
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, 2010, or statement of
financial position as of December 31, 2010.
The
Company is planning to develop a comprehensive and formal accounting and
procedures manual and has identified a resource to assist with the development
of such manual.
31
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, 2010 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.

Risk
Factors

Investing
in our securities involves risks. In addition to the other
information in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, stockholders and potential
investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties discussed in the
section "Item 1.A. Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended September 30, 2010. If any of the risks and
uncertainties set forth herein and therein actually materialize, our business,
financial condition and/or results of operations could be materially adversely
affected, the trading price of our common stock could decline and a stockholder
could lose all or part of his or her investment. The risks and uncertainties
described in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010 are not the only ones we
face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or
that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business
operations.
In
addition, this quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking
statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in
those forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those
set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended September 30, 2010. Please see the introductory section to
“Part I - Item 2. Management’s Discussion of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for further information on
these forward-looking statements.

Bridge
Notes and Warrants
On June
3, 2010, we entered into a Bridge Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with John
Pappajohn to purchase two secured promissory notes (each, a “Bridge Note”) in
the aggregate principal amount of $500,000, with each Bridge Note in the
principal amount of $250,000 maturing on December 2, 2010. On June 3, 2010,
Mr. Pappajohn loaned the Company $250,000 in exchange for the first Bridge Note
(there were no warrants issued in connection with this first note) and on July
25, 2010, Mr. Pappajohn loaned us $250,000 in exchange for the second Bridge
Note. In connection with his purchase of the second Bridge Note, Mr.
Pappajohn received a warrant to purchase up to 250,000 shares of our common
stock. The exercise price of the warrant (subject to anti-dilution
adjustments, including for issuances of securities at prices below the
then-effective exercise price ) was $0.50 per share.
Pursuant
to a separate agreement that we entered into with Mr. Pappajohn on July 25,
2010, we granted him a right to convert his Bridge Notes into shares of our
common stock at a conversion price of $0.50. The conversion price was
subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, but would never be less than
$0.30. Each Bridge Note accrued interest at a rate of 9% per annum.
Deerwood
Notes and Warrants
On July
5, 2010 and August 20, 2010, we issued unsecured promissory notes (each, a
“Deerwood Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 to Deerwood
Partners LLC and Deerwood Holdings LLC, with each investor purchasing two notes
in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000. Our director George Kallins and
his spouse are the managing members of these investors. The Deerwood Notes
mature on December 15, 2010. We received $250,000 in gross proceeds from
the issuance of the first two notes on July 5, 2010 and another $250,000 in
gross proceeds from the issuance of the second two notes on August 20,
2010. In connection with the August 20, 2010 transaction, each of the two
investors also received a warrant to purchase up to 75,000 shares of our common
stock at an exercise price (subject to anti-dilution adjustments, including for
issuances of securities at prices below the then-effective exercise price ) of
$0.56 per share.
SAIL
Venture Partners L.P. (“SAIL”), of which our director David Jones is a managing
partner, issued unconditional guaranties to each of the Deerwood investors,
guaranteeing the prompt and complete payment when due of all principal, interest
and other amounts under each Deerwood Note. The obligations under each
guaranty were independent of our obligations under the Deerwood Notes and
separate actions could be brought against the guarantor. We entered into
an oral agreement to indemnify SAIL and grant to SAIL a security interest in our
assets in connection with the guaranties. In addition, on August 20, 2010, we
granted SAIL warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common
stock at an exercise price (subject to anti-dilution adjustments, including for
issuances of securities at prices below the then-effective exercise price ) of
$0.56 per share.
33
Each
Deerwood Note accrued interest at a rate of 9% per annum and was
convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of
$0.50. The conversion price was subject to customary anti-dilution
adjustments, but would never be less than $0.30.
October
Notes and Warrants
On
October 1, 2010, in connection with a new private placement of convertible
promissory notes (the “October Notes”) and warrants expected to be completed
with new independent investors, we entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase
Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with John Pappajohn and SAIL as investors .
Pursuant to this agreement, we issued to the investors October Notes in the
aggregate principal amount of $1,011,700 and warrants to purchase up to
1,686,144 shares of common stock. The Company received $500,000 in gross
proceeds from the issuance to these investors of October Notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $500,000 and related warrants to purchase up to 833,332
shares. We also issued October Notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$511,700, and related warrants to purchase up to 852,812 shares, to Mr.
Pappajohn in exchange for the cancellation of the two Bridge Notes originally
issued to him on June 3, 2010 and July 25, 2010 in the aggregate principal
amount of $500,000 (and accrued and unpaid interest on those notes) and a
warrant to purchase up to 250,000 shares originally issued to him on July 25,
2010. The transaction closed on October 1, 2010.
On
October 7, 2010 and October 12, 2010, a third and fourth accredited investor
previously unrelated to us executed the Purchase Agreement. In connection
therewith, we issued October Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000
and warrants to purchase up to 999,999 shares of common stock of the Company, to
such investors on those dates. We received $588,000 in net proceeds from these
investors, after paying $12,000 to the placement agent as described below.
Monarch Capital Group LLC (“Monarch”) acted as non-exclusive placement agent
with respect to the October 12, 2010 placement of October Notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $100,000 and related warrants, pursuant to an engagement
agreement, dated September 30, 2010, between us and Monarch. Under the
engagement agreement, in return for its services as non-exclusive placement
agent, Monarch was entitled to receive (a) a cash fee equal to 10% of the gross
proceeds raised from the sale of October Notes to investors introduced to the
Company by Monarch; (b) a cash expense allowance equal to 2% of the gross
proceeds raised from the sale of October Notes to such investors; and (c)
five-year warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase common stock of
the Company equal to 10% of the shares issuable upon conversion of October Notes
issued to such investors. In connection with the October 12, 2010 closing,
Monarch received a cash fee of $10,000 and a cash expense allowance of $2,000
and, on October 25, 2010, received Placement Agent Warrants to purchase 33,333
shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.33 per
share.
On
October 21 and October 28, 2010, a fifth and sixth accredited investor
previously unrelated to us executed the Purchase Agreement. In connection
therewith, we issued October Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000
and warrants to purchase up to 416,666 shares of common stock to such investors
on that date. We received $250,000 in net proceeds from the issuance to these
investors.
On
November 3, 2010, three affiliated entities, identified below, executed the
Purchase Agreement. In connection therewith, we issued October Notes in the
aggregate principal amount of $762,300 and warrants to purchase up to 1,270,414
shares of common stock, as follows: (a) we received $250,000 in gross proceeds
from the issuance to BGN Acquisition Ltd., LP, an entity controlled by our
director George Kallins, of October Notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$250,000 and related warrants to purchase up to 416,666 shares ; and (b)
we also issued October Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $512,300, and
related warrants to purchase up to 512,250 shares, to Deerwood Holdings LLC and
Deerwood Partners LLC, two entities controlled by Dr . Kallins, in exchange for
the cancellation of the Deerwood Notes originally issued on July 5, 2010 and
August 20, 2010 in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (and accrued and
unpaid interest on those notes) and warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to
150,000 shares originally issued on August 20, 2010. The related guaranties and
oral indemnification and security agreement that had been entered into in
connection with the Deerwood Notes were likewise terminated. SAIL, of
which our director David Jones is a managing partner, issued unconditional
guaranties to each of the Deerwood investors, guaranteeing the prompt and
complete payment when due of all principal, interest and other amounts under the
October Notes issued to such investors. The obligations under each guaranty are
independent of our obligations under the October Notes and separate actions may
be brought against the guarantor. In connection with its serving as guarantor,
we granted SAIL warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 341,498 shares of
common stock. The warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock previously
granted to SAIL on August 20, 2010 were canceled.
34
On
November 12, 2010, another accredited investor previously unrelated to us
executed the Purchase Agreement. In connection therewith, the Company issued
Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000 and Warrants to purchase up
to 666,666 shares of common stock of the Company, to the investor on such
date. The Company received $352,000 in net proceeds from the
investor. Monarch acted as non-exclusive placement agent with respect
to the placement of the Note in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000 and
related Warrants, pursuant to the abovementioned engagement agreement, dated
September 30, 2010. In connection with the November 12, 2010 closing, Monarch
received a cash fee of $40,000 and a cash expense allowance of $8,000 and will
receive a Placement Agent Warrant to purchase 133,333 shares of the Company’s
common stock at an exercise price of $0.33 per share.
The
Purchase Agreement provides for the issuance and sale of October Notes, for cash
or in exchange for outstanding convertible notes, in the aggregate principal
amount of up to $3,000,000 plus an amount corresponding to accrued and unpaid
interest on any exchanged notes, and warrants to purchase a number of shares
corresponding to 50% of the number of shares issuable on conversion of the
October Notes. The agreement provides for multiple closings, but mandates that
no closings may occur after January 31, 2011. The Purchase Agreement
also provides that the Company and the holders of the October Notes will enter
into a registration rights agreement covering the registration of the resale of
the shares underlying the October Notes and the related warrants.
The
October Notes mature one year from the date of issuance (subject to earlier
conversion or prepayment), earn interest equal to 9% per year with interest
payable at maturity, and are convertible into shares of common stock of the
Company at a conversion price of $0.30. The conversion price is subject to
adjustment upon (1) the subdivision or combination of, or stock dividends paid
on, the common stock; (2) the issuance of cash dividends and distributions on
the common stock; (3) the distribution of other capital stock, indebtedness or
other non-cash assets; and (4) the completion of a financing at a price below
the conversion price then in effect. The October Notes are furthermore
convertible, at the option of the holder, into securities to be issued in
subsequent financings at the lower of the then-applicable conversion price or
price per share payable by purchasers of such securities. The October Notes can
be declared due and payable upon an event of default, defined in the October
Notes to occur, among other things, if the Company fails to pay principal and
interest when due, in the case of voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or if the
Company fails to perform any covenant or agreement as required by the October
Note.
Our
obligations under the terms of the October Notes are secured by a security
interest in the tangible and intangible assets of the Company, pursuant to a
Security Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2010, by and between us and John
Pappajohn, as administrative agent for the holders of the October Notes. The
agreement and corresponding security interest terminate if and when holders of a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of October Notes issued have
converted their October Notes into shares of common stock.
The
warrants related to the October Notes expire seven years from the date of
issuance and are exercisable for shares of common stock of the Company at an
exercise price of $0.30. Exercise price and number of shares issuable upon
exercise are subject to adjustment (1) upon the subdivision or combination of,
or stock dividends paid on, the common stock; (2) in case of any
reclassification, capital reorganization or change in capital stock and (3) upon
the completion of a financing at a price below the exercise price then in
effect. Any provision of the October Notes or related warrants can be amended,
waived or modified upon the written consent of the Company and holders of a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of such notes outstanding. Any such
consent will affect all October Notes or warrants, as the case may be, and will
be binding on all holders thereof.
The
Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to 110% of the conversion
price of the Notes and an exercise period of five years. The terms of the
Placement Agent Warrants, except for the exercise price and period, are
identical to the terms of the warrants related to the October
Notes.
For a
table showing the differences in terms between the October Notes (and related
warrants), on the one hand, and the exchanged Bridge Notes and Deerwood Notes
(and related warrants), on the other hand, please refer to the table below. See
also Notes 3 and 13 to the audited financial statements.

As
disclosed above, (i) Bridge Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000
(and accrued and unpaid interest thereon) and a related warrant to purchase up
to 250,000 shares were exchanged by Mr. Pappajohn for October Notes in the
aggregate principal amount of $511,688 and related warrants to purchase up to
852,812 shares, (ii) Deerwood Notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$500,000 (and accrued and unpaid interest thereon) and a related warrant to
purchase up to 150,000 shares were exchanged by the Deerwood investors for
October Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $512,250 and related warrants
to purchase up to 512,250 shares, and (iii) warrants to purchase 100,000 issued
to SAIL in connection with its guaranties relating to the Deerwood Notes were
exchanged for warrants to purchase 341,498 shares. The terms of the October
Notes (and related warrants) differed from the terms of the Bridge Notes and
Deerwood Notes (and related warrants) as follows:

The
exchange for the October Notes did not trigger anti-dilution adjustments to the
conversion prices of the Bridge Notes or Deerwood Notes. Had the warrants issued
in connection with the Bridge Notes and the Deerwood Notes not been exchanged
for new warrants as described above, the exercise price of the warrants so
issued would have been reduced to $0.30 as a result of the issuance of October
Notes and new warrants in accordance with the anti-dilution provisions
of the warrants issued in connection with the Bridge Notes and the Deerwood
Notes.

Information

On
January 20, February 3 and February 8, 2011, we sold convertible unsecured
notes (the “Unsecured Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $350,000 and
warrants to purchase 583,332 shares of common stock to three accredited
investors in connection with a new private placement pursuant to a note and
warrant purchase agreement, under which we can issue an aggregate of up to $5
million in aggregate principal amount of Unsecured Notes, as well as related
warrants. The terms of the Unsecured Notes are identical to the terms
of the October Notes, except that (i) the Unsecured Notes are not secured by any
of our assets, (ii) the Unsecured Notes are subordinated in all respects to our
obligations under the October Notes and the related guaranties issued to certain
investors by SAIL and (iii) the Company is not subject to a restrictive covenant
to use the use of proceeds from the sale of the Unsecured Notes only for current
operations. The terms of the new warrants are identical to the terms
of the warrants issued in connection with the October Notes.
