CNS RESPONSE, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.
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’s operating platform is called PEER Online. From this platform PEER Outcome Reports or PEER Reports (formerly known as rEEG Reports) are generated.  PEER is an acronym which stands for the “Psychiatric Electroencephalography Evaluation Registry”.   The Company also intends to use PEER Online 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 healthcare 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 PEER Online, advance physician training in PEER Reports and investigate practice development strategies associated with PEER Reports.

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 June 30, 2011 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 fair presentation for the periods presented as required by Regulation S-X.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods or for the year ending September 30, 2011.

Offering Costs

The Company applies ASC topic 505-10, “Costs of an Equity Transaction”, for recognition of offering costs. In accordance with ASC 505-10, the Company treats incremental direct costs incurred to issue shares classified as equity, as a reduction of the proceeds. Direct costs incurred before shares classified as equity are issued, are classified as an asset until the stock is issued. Indirect costs such as management salaries or other general and administrative expenses and deferred costs of an aborted offering are expensed.

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 nine months ended June 30, 2011, an additional $4,500,000 of convertible promissory notes were sold and associated 7,499,989 warrants were issued along with 466,664 warrants issued to the placement agent.

Furthermore, all derivative liabilities were revalued as of June 30, 2011 in accordance with ASC 815.  As of June 30, 2011 the derivative liability was $4,906,700, which was comprised of a warrant liability of $2,489,900 and a debt conversion option liability of $2,416,800.

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 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.

The Company’s warrant liability is carried at fair value totaling $2,489,900 and $889,100 as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 respectively.  The Company’s conversion option liability is carried at fair value totaling $2,416,800 and $1,172,800 as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 respectively.  The Company used Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for the warrant liability and conversion option liability as their fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

For the three months ending December 31, 2010 the Company recognized a gain of $4,217,500 on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities.  For the three months ending March 31, 2011 the Company recognized a loss of $(3,963,300) on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities.  For the three months ending June 30, 2011 the Company recognized a gain of $4,498,900 on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities.  Consequently, for the nine months ending June 30, 2011 the Company recognized a net gain of $4,753,100 on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities.  The Company did not identify any other assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 825-10.

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 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which amends current comprehensive income guidance. This accounting update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income (loss) as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. Instead, the Company must report comprehensive income (loss) in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income (loss) which contains two sections, net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of the standard update to impact its financial position or results of operations, as it only requires a change in the format of presentation.
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The new guidance results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. While many of the amendments to U.S. GAAP are not expected to have a significant effect on practice, the new guidance changes some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of the standard update to have a significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Mr. John Pappajohn is a Director of the Company.  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.

Dr. George Kallins is a Director of the Company and together with his wife controls Deerwood Partners, LLC and Deerwood Holding, LLC.  He is also the General Partner of BGN Acquisitions Ltd. LP.

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.   The Deerwood Notes were to 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”) 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.  SAIL’s general partner is SAIL Venture Partners, LLC, of which our director David Jones is a senior partner.  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.

The October 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 October 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 (i) the subdivision or combination of, or stock dividends paid on, the common stock; (ii) the issuance of cash dividends and distributions on the common stock; (iii) the distribution of other capital stock, indebtedness or other non-cash assets; and (iv) 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.

(13)
The 2011 Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the” January Purchase Agreement”) provides for the issuance and sale of Unsecured Notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $5,000,000, and warrants to purchase a number of shares corresponding to 50% of the number of shares issuable on conversion of the Unsecured Notes, in one or multiple closings to occur no later than July 31, 2011. The January Purchase Agreement also provides that the Company and the holders of the Unsecured Notes will enter into a registration rights agreement covering the registration of the resale of the shares underlying the Unsecured Notes and the 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 the Company’s assets, (ii) the Unsecured Notes are subordinated in all respects to the Company’s 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 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.

As of June 30, 2011 outstanding secured convertible promissory notes (October Notes) were $3,023,900 (including $24,000 corresponding to accrued and unpaid interest on the exchanged notes) and debt discount was $911,500.  During the three month, and nine month periods ended June 30, 2011 the Company amortized $755,900, and $2,112,200 of the debt discount respectively.

The combined outstanding secured and unsecured convertible promissory notes as of June 30, 2011 were $5,523,900 and debt discounts were $2,626,400. During the three month and nine month periods ended June 30, 2011 the Company amortized $1,320,500 and $2,897,600 of the debt discount respectively.

In connection with our application to list our securities on the TSXV and the contemplated public offering of securities in Canada and the United States, we have entered into the following agreements on June 3, 2011 with holders of our October Notes, Unsecured Notes, and related warrants:
 
1.           Holders of our convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $5,523,900 and holders of warrants to purchase 9,673,213 shares of our common stock issued in connection with our convertible notes and the related guaranties (representing 100% of the aggregate principal amount of notes and related warrants outstanding), have entered into an agreement with us, which we refer to as the “Agreement to Convert and Amend.”  Pursuant to the Agreement to Convert and Amend, holders have agreed to amend and convert their notes and to amend their warrants conditioned on the closing of an offering that yields gross proceeds to us of at least $10 million (the “proposed offering”). Assuming such condition is met, the amendments to the notes and warrants would be effective immediately prior to the closing of the proposed offering.  The amendments would remove the restrictive covenants imposed on us by the October Purchase Agreement and January Purchase Agreement, restate the conversion provisions to permit conversion solely in connection with the proposed offering, remove full ratchet anti-dilution protection from the terms of the notes and the warrants, and change the expiration dates of all warrants to June 30, 2016, unless the warrants, by their current terms, expire sooner.  The related conversion would be effective immediately prior to the closing of the proposed offering.  Assuming the proposed offering had been consummated on June 30, 2011, notes in the aggregate principal amount and accrued interest through June 30, 2011 of approximately $5,781,300 would have been converted into 19,270,833 shares of our common stock.  As consideration for the above amendments and conversions, we expect to issue warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,603,270 shares of our common stock to holders of our notes and related warrants, with each holder receiving a warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock corresponding to 25% of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the principal amount of his or her notes.
 
2.            Holders of 100% of our 2010 Placement Agent Warrants and 2011 Placement Agent Warrants initially issued to Monarch Capital Group LLC and Antaeus Capital, Inc. have agreed to amend such warrants to remove full ratchet anti-dilution protection from the terms of the warrants.  This amendment is conditioned on the closing of the proposed offering, provided that the proposed offering yields gross proceeds to us of at least $10 million, and is effective immediately prior to the closing of the proposed offering.  As consideration for this amendment, we expect to issue warrants to purchase an aggregate of 116,664 shares of our common stock to such holders, with each holder receiving a warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock corresponding to 25% of the number of shares issuable upon exercise of their placement agent warrants.

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 time.

On July 5, 2010, the Board of Directors also approved an additional grant of 800,000 options to a new member of the executive management team, a new member of the board of directors and a new advisor to the Company.  The respective vesting periods are the same as those for the abovementioned March 3, 2010 grants.  The effective grant date for these accredited investors was July 5, 2010 and the exercise price of $0.40 per share was based on the quoted closing share price of the Company’s stock on July 2, 2010 as markets were closed for the 4th of July holiday weekend.

On March 11, 2011, the Board of Directors also approved an additional grant of 475,000 options to staff members of the Company.  The options will vest equally over a 48 month period.  The effective grant date for these accredited investors was March 11, 2011 and the exercise price of $0.47 per share was based on the quoted closing share price of the Company’s stock on March 11, 2011.

At June 30, 2011, there were warrants outstanding to purchase 29,428,635 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The exercise price of the outstanding warrants range from $0.01 to $1.812 with a weighted average exercise price of $0.49.  The warrants expire at various times 2011 through 2018.

In connection with our application to list our securities on the TSXV and the contemplated public offering of securities in Canada and the United States, we have entered into the following agreements on June 3, 2011 with holders of our October Notes, Unsecured Notes, and related warrants:
 
1.           Holders of our convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $5,523,900 and holders of warrants to purchase 9,673,213 shares of our common stock issued in connection with our convertible notes and the related guaranties (representing 100% of the aggregate principal amount of notes and related warrants outstanding), have entered into an agreement with us, which we refer to as the “Agreement to Convert and Amend.”   Pursuant to the Agreement to Convert and Amend, holders have agreed to amend and convert their notes and to amend their warrants conditioned on the closing of the proposed offering, provided that this proposed offering yields gross proceeds to us of at least $10 million. Assuming such condition is met, the amendments to the notes and warrants would be effective immediately prior to the closing of this proposed offering.  The amendments would remove the restrictive covenants imposed on us by the October Purchase Agreement and January Purchase Agreement, restate the conversion provisions to permit conversion solely in connection with the proposed offering, remove full ratchet anti-dilution protection from the terms of the notes and the warrants, and change the expiration dates of all warrants to June 30, 2016, unless the warrants, by their current terms, expire sooner.  The related conversion would be effective immediately prior to the closing of the proposed offering.  Assuming the proposed offering had been consummated on June 30, 2011, notes in the aggregate principal amount and accrued interest through June 30, 2011 of approximately $5,781,300 would have been converted into 19,270,833 shares of our common stock.  As consideration for the above amendments and conversions, we expect to issue warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,603,270 shares of our common stock to holders of our notes and related warrants, with each holder receiving a warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock corresponding to 25% of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the principal amount of his or her notes.
 
2.           Holders of 100% of our 2010 Placement Agent Warrants and 2011 Placement Agent Warrants initially issued to Monarch Capital Group LLC and Antaeus Capital, Inc. have agreed to amend such warrants to remove full ratchet anti-dilution protection from the terms of the warrants.  This amendment is conditioned on the closing of the proposed offering, provided that the proposed offering yields gross proceeds to us of at least $10 million, and is effective immediately prior to the closing of the proposed offering.  As consideration for this amendment, we expect to issue warrants to purchase an aggregate of 116,664 shares of our common stock to such holders, with each holder receiving a warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock corresponding to 25% of the number of shares issuable upon exercise of their placement agent warrants.
 
3.           Holders of warrants exercisable for 500,000 shares of common stock, which were initially issued on July 5, 2010, have agreed to amend their warrants to change the expiration date of such warrants to the date that is the fifth anniversary of the initial listing of our shares on the TSXV. This amendment is conditioned on the closing of the proposed offering, provided that the proposed offering yields gross proceeds to us of at least $10 million and that shares of our common stock are listed on the TSXV, and is effective immediately prior to the closing of the proposed offering.

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 and nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, 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 of the net income (loss) and shares used to compute net income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

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.

On April 11, 2011, Mr. Brandt and his family business partnership Brandt Ventures, GP filed an action in the Superior Court for the State of California, Orange County against CNS Response, Inc., one of its stockholders and a member of the board of directors, alleging breach of a promissory note agreement entered into by Brandt Ventures, GP and the Company and alleging that Mr. Brandt was wrongfully terminated as CEO in April, 2009 for which he is seeking approximately $170,000 of severance. The plaintiffs seek rescission of a $250,000 loan made by Brandt Ventures, GP to the Company which was converted into common stock in accordance with its terms, restitution of the loan amount and compensatory and punitive damages for Mr. Brandt's termination. The Company was served with a summons and complaint in the action on July 19, 2011. CNS Response, Inc. believes the complaint to be devoid of any merit and will aggressively defend the action if the plaintiffs decide to proceed with it.

CNS RESPONSE, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 additional 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.

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 $77,400: being $11,800, $49,000 and $16,600 for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013 respectively.

The Company leases space for its Clinical Services operations under an operating lease.  The original lease terminated 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 $120,300: being $16,200, $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 $22,500 and $19,600 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively and $75,700 and $83,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively.

On November 8, 2010 we entered into a financial lease to acquire EEG equipment costing $15,900.  The term of the lease is 48 months ending October 2014 and the monthly payment is $412. As of June 30, 2011 the remaining lease obligation is $13,700: being $1,400, $4,900, $4,900 and $4,900 for fiscal years 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 respectively.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws.  If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a cloud-based neurometric company focused on analysis, research, development and the commercialization of a patented platform which allows psychiatrists and other physicians to exchange outcome data referenced to electrophysiology. With this information, physicians can make more informed 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

Because of the lack of objective neurophysiology data available to physicians, the underlying pathology and physiology of behavioral disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, eating disorder, addiction, anxiety disorders and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can rarely be analyzed effectively by treating physicians. Doctors are ordinarily forced to make prescription decisions based only on symptomatic factors. As a result, treatment can often be ineffective, costly and may require multiple courses of treatment before the effective medications are identified, if at all.

We believe that our technology offers an improvement over traditional methods for evaluating pharmacotherapy options in 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 what we believe to be the largest outcomes database for mental health care pharmacotherapy, consisting of over 17,000 medication trials for patients with psychiatric or addictive problems. We refer to this database as the PEER Online database (it was formerly known as the “CNS Database”). For each patient in the PEER Online database, we have compiled neurophysiology data from electroencephalographic (“EEG”) scans, symptoms and outcomes often across multiple treatments from multiple psychiatrists and other physicians. This patented technology, called PEER Online™ (based on a technology known as “Referenced-EEG®” or “rEEG®”), represents an innovative approach to describing effective medications for patients suffering from debilitating behavioral disorders.
 
This technology allows us to create and provide simple reports (“PEER Outcome Reports” or “PEER Reports”) to medical professionals that summarize historical treatment success of specific medications for those patients with similar neurometric brain patterns. PEER Reports provide neither a diagnosis nor a specific treatment, but like all lab results, provide objective, evidenced-based information to help the prescriber in their decision-making. With PEER Reports, physicians order a digital EEG for a patient, which is then referenced to the PEER Online database. By providing this reference correlation, an attending physician can better establish a treatment strategy with the knowledge of how other patients with similar brain function have previously responded to a myriad of treatment alternatives. Analysis of this complete data set yielded a platform of 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 neurometric variables, and the database to be queried to understand the statistical response of patients with similar brain patterns to the medications currently in the database.

Our Neurometric Information Services business is focused on increasing the demand for our PEER Reports. We believe the key factors that will drive broader adoption of our PEER 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 data, our PEER Online technology provides us with significant opportunities in the area of pharmaceutical development. Our PEER Online™ technology, in combination with the information contained in the PEER Online database, offers 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 served as our President from April 2009 to April 2011.

 
30

 

NTC, having performed a significant number of rEEG’s, serves as an important resource in our product development, the expansion of our PEER Online 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. Therefore, we have no current plans to expand our Clinical Services business.
 
Business operations

Since our inception, we have generated significant net losses. As of June 30, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $39.54 million, and as of September 30, 2010 our accumulated deficits were approximately $33.37 million. We incurred operating losses of $1.45 million and $1.46 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively. We incurred a net profit of $0.87 million and a net loss of $1.50 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively.  The 2011 three month period included a net $2.32 million gain in other income which was largely the result of a non-cash gain in the valuation of our derivative liabilities.

 For the nine month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 we incurred operating losses of $4.50 million and $4.71 million respectively.  For those same periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 we incurred net losses of $6.17 million and $4.75 million respectively.   The 2011 period included a net charge to other income of $1.67 million which was largely attributable to non-cash interest of $6.10 million partially offset by a non-cash gain on the valuation of derivatives of $4.75 million.

We expect our net losses to continue for at least the next two 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 studies which are necessary to further validate the efficacy of our products and services relating to our PEER Online technology across different types of behavioral disorders; the enhancement of the PEER Online database and PEER Outcome Report process including further automation, and to increase the size of the database and the inclusion of several of the newer medications within the database. We also anticipate that future research and development projects will be funded by grants or third-party sponsorship.

As of June 30, 2011, our current liabilities of approximately $10.46 million exceeded our current assets of approximately $1.31 million by $9.15 million. As part of the $10.46 million of current liabilities we have $5.53 million of convertible debt, of which $3.03 million is secured.  This convertible debt, which has been raised since September 30, 2010, is discounted to $2.90 million. Also included in current liabilities are $4.91 million in derivative liabilities associated with the conversion of our convertible notes and associated warrants.  We have agreements with the holders of our convertible notes and the associated warrants, that upon a proposed offering which raises at least $10 million, these notes would automatically convert to equity and the full anti-dilution ratchet protection contained in the warrants would be eliminated, thereby eliminating the need for the derivative accounting treatment of the warrants. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising $10 million in such offering.

Well need immediate additional funding to continue our operations plus substantial additional funding before we can increase the demand for our PEER Online 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 and market conditions that currently prevail. Furthermore, any additional equity funding may result in significant dilution to existing stockholders, and, if we incur additional debt or our proposed offering raises less than $10 million, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such debt or the currently outstanding convertible notes, which begin to mature on October 1, 2011, thus limiting the funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay or significantly curtail 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.

Recent Developments
 
Medco
The Company initiated a collaboration agreement in March 2011 with Medco Health Solutions, the nation’s largest prescription benefit management firm, in order to perform a retrospective pharmacoeconomic study of Medco members’ experience with rEEG® from 2000-2010. This retrospective data analysis is expected to be complete in the summer of 2011, and will evaluate standard pharmacoeconomic endpoints to determine whether physicians with access to information from rEEG® had reduced medication trial and error, and whether this led to improved clinical and/or economic outcomes.
 
Carrier Technology Assessment

The Company has been involved in a one-year Technology Assessment process with OptumHealth Behavioral Solutions, a unit of UnitedHealth Group, the nation’s largest health insurance carrier, reviewing clinical evidence to determine clinical effectiveness and reimbursement coverage for rEEG®. The carrier determined that rEEG® represented a technology with sufficient evidence for approved use in pilot programs for selected regions and/or clients, based upon two randomized controlled trials with statistical significance and reasonable effect size.
 
Product Names

Within the past year significant changes have been made to the Company’s product architecture and database, and it has refined its market focus with physicians and payers. As a result, the Company determined that a naming convention that was more appropriate for its new services would be helpful in distinguishing its offering in the market. Accordingly, the Company has introduced PEER Online™ as its cloud-based platform for physicians and the PEER Outcome™ Report as its output. The designation rEEG® will continue to be used in reference to the Company’s original database, but not to its services or output.

Preliminary Results of Retrospective Review

On August 12, 2011, we announced topline results from a retrospective review of physician reports and health records from our Neuro-Therapy Clinic which services several of the nation’s largest managed care networks.  The initial analysis of 128 records of patients treated for mental health conditions from 2003 to mid-2011 represents cases in which physicians received PEER Outcome Reports for their patients.  The analysis found that by having access to PEER Outcomes Reports, the physicians reported reduced trial-and-error pharmacotherapy.   The review findings included:

 
·
16 patients (13%) actually required no medications at all.

Of the remaining 112 patients who required medications, when their physicians had access to the PEER Outcome Report:

 
·
88% of the patients achieved “much improved” or “very much improved” health outcomes.

 
·
64% of the patients achieved Maximum Medical Improvement (“MMI”) within an average of three visits.

 
·
Out of 25 patients who had reported suicidality preceding their PEER Outcome Report, none reported suicidal thoughts in the period up to MMI.  The patients were followed for an average of 825 days; during that time, three of the 25 developed suicidality (two patients had suicidal thoughts and one patient attempted suicide).
    
 
·
Out of 22 patients who had experienced a severe adverse event on their previous medications, 13 of those patients (59%) had PEER Outcome Reports which indicated poor outcomes for those medications in patients with similar EEG findings.  After physicians used the PEER Outcome Report, none of the patients had a severe adverse event on their new medications. 
 
On August 12, 2011, we also announced that since January 1, 2010, the Company had received 313 physician rating reports with 94% of these physicians indicating that the information provided through the PEER Outcome Report was considered helpful, with 47% of the physicians indicating that the information was considered essential in treating their patients.

The 2010 and 2011 Private Placement Transactions

From June 3, 2010 through November 12, 2010, we raised $3.0 million through the sale of secured convertible notes (the “October 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. 

 
32

 

From January 20 through April 25, 2011, we sold subordinated convertible notes (the “January Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $2.5 million and warrants to accredited investors.  See “Part II - Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.”

The terms of the October Notes, Unsecured Notes and related warrants are described in detail in Note 3 to the financial statements above.

Agreements in Connection with TSXV Listing

In connection with our application to list our securities on the TSXV and the contemplated public offering of securities in Canada and the United States, we have entered into the following agreements on June 3, 2011 with holders of our October Notes, Unsecured Notes, related warrants, and options:
 
1.           Holders of our convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $5,523,900 and holders of warrants to purchase 9,673,213 shares of our common stock issued in connection with our convertible notes and the related guaranties (representing 100% of the aggregate principal amount of notes and related warrants outstanding), have entered into an agreement with us, which we refer to as the “Agreement to Convert and Amend.”   Pursuant to the Agreement to Convert and Amend, holders have agreed to amend and convert their notes and to amend their warrants conditioned on the closing of the proposed offering, provided that this proposed offering yields gross proceeds to us of at least $10 million. Assuming such condition is met, the amendments to the notes and warrants would be effective immediately prior to the closing of this proposed offering.  The amendments would remove the restrictive covenants imposed on us by the October Purchase Agreement and January Purchase Agreement, restate the conversion provisions to permit conversion solely in connection with the proposed offering, remove full ratchet anti-dilution protection from the terms of the notes and the warrants, and change the expiration dates of all warrants to June 30, 2016, unless the warrants, by their current terms, expire sooner.  The related conversion would be effective immediately prior to the closing of the proposed offering.  Assuming the proposed offering had been consummated on June 30, 2011, notes in the aggregate principal amount and accrued interest through June 30, 2011 of approximately $5,781,300 would have been converted into 19,270,833 shares of our common stock.  As consideration for the above amendments and conversions, we expect to issue warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,603,270 shares of our common stock to holders of our notes and related warrants, with each holder receiving a warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock corresponding to 25% of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the principal amount of his or her notes.
 
2.           Holders of 100% of our 2010 Placement Agent Warrants and 2011 Placement Agent Warrants initially issued to Monarch Capital Group LLC and Antaeus Capital, Inc. have agreed to amend such warrants to remove full ratchet anti-dilution protection from the terms of the warrants.  This amendment is conditioned on the closing of the proposed offering, provided that the proposed offering yields gross proceeds to us of at least $10 million, and is effective immediately prior to the closing of the proposed offering.  As consideration for this amendment, we expect to issue warrants to purchase an aggregate of 116,664 shares of our common stock to such holders, with each holder receiving a warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock corresponding to 25% of the number of shares issuable upon exercise of their placement agent warrants.
 
3.           Holders of 100% of the 2010 Placement Agent Warrants and 2011 Placement Agent Warrants initially issued to Monarch Capital Group LLC and Antaeus Capital, Inc. have agreed to amend such warrants to remove full ratchet anti-dilution protection from the terms of the warrants. This amendment is conditioned on the closing of the proposed offering, provided that the proposed offering yields gross proceeds to us of at least $10 million, and is effective immediately prior to the closing of the proposed offering. As consideration for the above amendments, we expect to issue warrants to purchase an aggregate of 116,664 shares of our common stock to holders of our placement agent warrants, each holder will receive a warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock corresponding to 25% of the number of shares issuable upon exercise of their placement agent warrants.

4.           Holders of warrants exercisable for 500,000 shares of common stock, which were initially issued on July 5, 2010, have agreed to amend their warrants to change the expiration date of such warrants to the date that is the fifth anniversary of the initial listing of our shares on the TSXV. This amendment is conditioned on the closing of the proposed offering, provided that the proposed offering yields gross proceeds to us of at least $10 million and that shares of our common stock are listed on the TSXV, and is effective immediately prior to the closing of the proposed offering.

 
33

 

5.           Holders of options to purchase an aggregate of 13,190,658 shares of our common stock, at exercise prices ranging from $0.12 per share to $1.09 per share, have agreed to amend their options to permit exercise only in cash and to limit the period during which the options may be exercised post-termination to 90 days (for employees) and twelve months (for consultants).

Furthermore, in connection with our application to list shares of common stock on the TSXV, we have agreed to freeze any further grants or exercises of securities under the 2006 Plan and adopt a new stock incentive plan subject to and in connection with the completion of this proposed offering. The new plan, which we refer to as the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, would be subject to approval by our stockholders, which we expect to seek at a meeting of stockholders to be called as soon as practicable following completion of this proposed offering.

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 Neurometric Service product are recognized when a PEER 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.

Results of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

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 ("PEER 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.

With respect to our Neurometric Information Services business the number of third party paid PEER Reports delivered decreased from 101 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, to 63 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, while the average revenue per report increased from $395 to $397 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.  Additionally our Clinical Services operation ordered 21 PEER Reports during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.  The total number of free PEER Reports processed were 18 for the three month period ended June 30, 2010, which increased to 28 for three months ending June 30, 2011.  These free PEER Reports are used for training, database-enhancement and compassionate-use purposes. 

Clinical Services revenues increased by $53,500 for the three month period ended June 30, 2011. This increase was due to an increase in new patients who responded to a radio advertising that was implemented at the end of December 2010 and continued through June 2011.  Since we had hired a second psychiatrist last year, we have the capacity to see these new patients responding to the radio advertising.

The Clinical Services sales and marketing expenses consists of advertising to attract patients to the clinic. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, Clinical Services marketing expenditures increased by $19,300 as the Clinic started utilizing radio advertising, and with the help of consultants, developed an effective strategy for targeted radio adverts that resonated with potential new patients. We anticipate a moderate increase in marketing expenditure as the Clinic has the capacity, with its newly recruited psychiatrist, to handle an additional patient load.

With respect to our Neurometric Information Services business, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, payroll and benefit expenses increased by a net $39,900.  This increase was largely due to (i) the addition of an accountant who joined the staff in March 2011 and (ii) an increase in the stock-based compensation for options issued to staff members in March 2011.  Professional and consulting fees decreased by $28,100 which was due to a reduction of $20,500 in professional fees as a result of the timing of tax and audit service billings and a $7,600 reduction in consulting fees.  Legal fees decreased by $140,500 of which $61,100 was due to the reduction in litigation fees in defending against actions brought by Mr. Brandt, which were all adjudicated in our favor.  Non-litigation related legal expense decreased by a net amount of $79,400, as legal work associated with the contemplated public offering has been recorded as deferred offering costs pending the successful completion of that proposed offering.  General administrative and occupancy costs and patent cost remained materially unchanged for the two quarters ending June 30, 2011 and 2010.  Conference and travel costs increased by $12,900 in the 2011 period as management travelled extensively to meet with potential customers on the East Coast and in connection with the contemplated public offering.   

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 $98,000 in the three months ending June 30, 2011, from  same period in 2010.  This increase is partly due to the hiring of the additional psychiatrist and a salary increase for the Clinic’s Medical Director.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, net other non-operating expenses for Neurometric Information Services were $2,322,500 as a result of the following:

1) We incurred non-cash interest charges totaling $2,116,400, of which $113,900 was accrued interest on our promissory notes at 9% per annum, the remaining balance of $2,002,500 was comprised of warrant discount amortization and warrant and note conversion derivative liability charges.  The actual net interest paid in cash for the quarter was approximately $700.
 
2) We incurred finance fees totaling $85,400 in association with our private placement of Unsecured Notes.  Of these finance fees $39,000 was paid in cash and $46,400 represented the fair value of warrants that were issued to the placement agent per their agreement. (See Note 3 to the financial statements and Private Placement Transactions above).

3) Revaluation of our derivative liabilities for the promissory note conversion feature and associated warrants as at June 30, 2011, resulted in a non-cash gain of $4,498,900.  The revaluation of these derivatives is required on a quarterly basis under ASC 815.  This large gain was due to the decrease in the price of our stock during June 2011 which ultimately closed at $0.26 per share on June 30, 2011.  This decrease from the $0.45 per share price at the start of the quarter resulted in the decrease in value of the derivative liabilities, and consequently resulted in the gain which was booked.  This gain effectively unwinds the substantial non-cash expense that was booked in the prior quarter when our stock had increased from $0.20 to $0.45 per share.  As a result of the periodic volatility in our stock price we can anticipate material swings in non-cash losses and income as a result of the quarterly revaluation of our derivative liabilities.

The net profit of $873,400 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was due to a $2,440,200 gain in Neurometric Information Services over the prior comparable period’s results. This gain is primarily due to the non-cash gain in other income associated with the accounting for derivative liabilities.  The balance of the increase was due to reductions in Research and Development and in General and Administrative expenditures. These were partly offset by an increase in Sales and Marketing expenditures.  The increase in the net loss in Clinical Services of $66,600 is predominantly due to the increase in personnel costs at the Neuro-Therapy Clinic.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, net other non-operating expenses for Neurometric Information Services were $1,668,600 as a result of the following:

1) We incurred non-cash interest charges totaling $6,071,300, of which $255,300 was accrued interest on our promissory notes at 9% per annum; the remaining balance of $5,816,000 was comprised of warrant discount amortization and warrant and note conversion derivative liability charges.  The actual net interest paid in cash for the period was approximately $1,900.

2) We incurred finance fees totaling $348,500 in association with our private placement of convertible notes.  Of these finance fees $165,000 was paid in cash and $183,500 was the fair value of warrants that were issued to the placement agent per their agreement and to SAIL Venture Partners, LP for guarantying the Deerwood notes. (See Note 3 to the financial statements and Private Placement Transactions).

3) Revaluation of our derivative liabilities for the promissory note conversion feature and associated warrants for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, resulted in a non-cash gain of $4,753,100.  The revaluation of these derivatives is required on a quarterly basis under ASC 815.  This non-cash charge represents the net result of a gain of $4,217,500 booked at December 31, 2010 which was subsequently offset by a charge of $3,963,400 at March 31, 2011. For the quarter ended June 30, 2011 the Company has recorded another gain of $4,498,900.  These large changes in the valuation of derivative liabilities are the result of volatility in our stock price which ranged from $0.50 at October 1, 2010 to $0.20 at December 31, 2010 to $0.45 at March 31, 2011 and to $0.26 at June 30, 2011.  As a result of the periodic volatility in our stock price we can anticipate material swings in non-cash losses and income as a result of the quarterly revaluation of our derivative liabilities.

The increase in net loss of $1,417,200 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the 2010 period was largely due to the other non-operating expenses of $1,665,200 as described above.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2011 the loss from operations for Neurometric Information Services of $4,500,500, was $207,700 less than the $4,708,200 loss incurred for the 2010 period.  This reduced loss was due to reductions in both Research and Development and in General and Administrative expenditures.  These cost reductions were partly offset by increases in Sales and Marketing costs.

For the nine months June 30, 2011, Clinical Services had a loss of $446,800, compared to a $136,200 loss for same period in 2010.  The increased loss of $310,600 is due to multiple factors including increases in personnel costs, which are partly due to decreased reimbursement by Neurometric Services for NTC staff who had previously worked on the Company’s clinical trial.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 
 
Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses. As of June 30, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $39.54 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 service revenues to achieve profitability. We may never achieve profitability.
 
As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately $910,700 in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of approximately $9.15 million compared to approximately $35,000 in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of approximately $1.98 at June 30, 2010.  The working capital deficit at June 30, 2011 includes convertible debt of $5.53 million, plus accrued interest, of which $3.03 million is secured. These convertible promissory notes outstanding as of that date have been discounted down to approximately $2.90 million.  Furthermore, the working capital deficit also includes $4.91 million in derivative liabilities associated with the conversion of promissory notes and their associated warrants.
 
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 two months and likely thereafter 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 immediate funding to continue our operations and will need substantial additional funds before we can increase demand for our PEER Online 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 and market conditions that currently prevail.  Furthermore, any additional equity funding may result in significant dilution to existing stockholders, and, if we incur additional debt financing or our proposed offering raises less than $10 million (a condition to automatic conversion, as described below), a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such debt or the currently outstanding convertible notes, which begin to mature on October 1, 2011, thus limiting the 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 PEER Online 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.
 
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 PEER Online 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.  Although, since September 3, 2010 we have raised gross proceeds of $5.5 million through the sale of secured and unsecured convertible promissory notes, we anticipate that our cash on hand and cash generated through our operations will not be sufficient to fund our operations for more than the next two months.  In addition we will have to repay any unconverted outstanding promissory notes up to $5.5 million, plus interest thereon, beginning on October 1, 2011.  We therefore must raise 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 additional 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 PEER Online database and costs we incur to further validate the efficacy of our PEER Online 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;

 
43

 

 
·
if we expand our business by acquiring or investing in complimentary businesses; and

 
·
if we are successful in raising at least $10 million in the proposed public offering, which would result in the automatic conversion into equity of all outstanding convertible promissory note.

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.

Sources of Liquidity
 
Since our inception substantially all of our operations have been financed primarily from equity and debt financings.  Through June 30, 2011, we had received proceeds of approximately $13.7 million from the sale of stock, $9.2 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.  From January 20, 2011 through to April 25, 2011, the Company raised an additional $2.5 million through the sale of unsecured subordinated convertible notes and warrants (the Unsecured Notes).  Of such amount, notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1.00 million were purchased by a member of our Board of Directors and its affiliates, $50,000 by an executive officer of the Company and $0.75 million by other beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Company’s shares of common stock outstanding.  See Note 3- “Private Placement Transactions” and Note 5-“Related Party Transactions” above, which are  incorporated by reference herein.

As described above under - Agreements in connection with TSXV listing, holders of our October Notes and January Notes and of the related warrants have entered into an agreement with us, which we refer to as the “Agreement to Convert and Amend,” in connection with our proposed public offering in Canada and the United States.  Pursuant to the Agreement to Convert and Amend, holders have agreed to amend and convert their notes and to amend their warrants conditioned on the closing of the proposed public offering, provided that this proposed offering yields gross proceeds to us of at least $10 million. Assuming such condition is met, the amendments to the notes and warrants would be effective immediately prior to the closing of this proposed offering and the notes would be automatically converted into shares of our common stock, thereby obviating the need to repay such notes as they begin to mature beginning on October 1, 2011.  However, there can be no assurance that we will consummate the public offering at all, or, if we do, that we raise the required $10 million in gross proceeds.  If we do not raise at least $10 million in such offering, the October Notes and January Notes will remain outstanding

In connection with the proposed public offering in Canada and the United States, the Company has filed a Preliminary Prospectus with the Canadian securities authorities and a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.   We anticipate using any proceeds from the proposed offering to principally fund future operating expenses, to commercialize our services and to reduce existing indebtedness (including the repayment of any unconverted October Notes and January Notes that mature between October 1, 2011 and April 25, 2012 in the event that less than $10 million is raised).  There can be no assurance that the proposed offering will be consummated as planned.  Before we can proceed with the proposed offering, the Company requires the approval of the listing exchange and regulating authority, either of which may be withheld.  Additionally, there are always risks that the proposed offering may not be consummated within the contemplated time frame due to internal or exogenous factors that may impact the markets for public offerings, such as the currently observable extreme volatility in the global capital markets.   If the proposed offering is not consummated as planned, we will immediately need to locate other sources of funds to sustain our working capital (including funding the repayment of the outstanding notes).

Cash Flows
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $3.07 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $4.12 million for the same period ended June 30, 2010.  The decrease in cash used of $1.05 million is attributable to the reduction in legal fees associated with the Brandt litigation.  
 
Net cash used in investing activities increased to $19,700 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $8,900 for the same period ended June 30, 2010.  Our investing activities related to the purchase of office equipment and EEG equipment to be used by a customer.

Net cash proceeds from financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 were approximately $1.85 million, net of offering costs, raised through our sale of secured convertible notes and warrants (the October Notes) and $2.40 million of unsecured convertible notes and warrants (the Unsecured 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 and $3,800 associated with the repayment of capitalized leases.  Furthermore, we also prepaid $282,300 in offering costs associated with our contemplated public offering of common stock and warrants.

 For the nine months ended June 30, 2010 proceeds from financing activities were approximately $3.2 million, net of offering costs, in connection with the second, third and fourth closings of our 2009 private placement transaction.  These proceeds were partly offset by the repayment of $69,800 on the above mentioned promissory note issued to Daniel Hoffman and $1,500 on the repayment of capitalized lease equipment.

Derivative Liability

Current liabilities at June 30, 2011 include $4.91 million of derivative liability. This amount includes:

 
1.
$1.35 million, which represents the fair value liability associated with the warrants issued in conjunction with the October Notes.

 
2.
$1.32 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.)

 
3.
$1.15 million, which represents the fair value liability associated with the warrants issued in conjunction with the Unsecured Notes.

 
4.
$1.09 million, which represent the fair value liability associated with the conversion option of the Unsecured 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; for the three months ended March 31, 2011 we booked a $4.0 million loss on derivatives, followed by a $4.5 million gain for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2011 we had a net gain on derivatives of $4.7 million.  These large quarterly gains and losses are caused by the volatility of our stock price.

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.

 
45

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

Not applicable.
 
Item 4.         Controls and Procedures.
 
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 Rule 13a-15, as of June 30, 2011, 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 June 30, 2011 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, the aforementioned significant deficiency did not lead to a misstatement of our results of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, or statement of financial position as of June 30, 2011.

 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.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Please see Note 8 to our Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our litigation with Leonard Brandt, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 1A.                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 and in the section “Risk Factors” in our registration statement on Form S-1/A filed on June 20, 2011 (File No. 333-173934), and any amendments thereto.  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, our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010 and our registration statement on Form S-1/A 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 and in the section “Risk Factors” in our registration statement on Form S-1/A filed on June 20, 2011 (File No. 333-173934), and any amendments thereto.  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.
 
Item 2.                   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
Between January 20, and April 25, 2011, we issued, for cash, subordinated convertible promissory notes (the “Unsecured Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000 and warrants to purchase 4,166,660 shares of common stock to twelve accredited investors, several of which were previously unrelated to us, in connection with a new private placement pursuant to a note and warrant purchase agreement (the “January Purchase Agreement”).  We received aggregate net proceeds of $2,395,000 in this placement, after paying an aggregate of $105,000 to the placement agents as described below.

Of the total amounts disclosed above, Unsecured Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1,850,000 and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,083,329 shares of common stock were sold to affiliates of the Company, as follows:

1) On February 15, 2011 and February 23, 2011, we issued (a) an Unsecured Note in the principal amount of $50,000, and a warrant to purchase 83,333 shares, to our Chief Financial Officer, Paul Buck, (b) an Unsecured Note in the principal amount of $50,000 and a warrant to purchase 83,333 shares, to a trust, the trustee of which is the father-in-law of our Chief Executive Officer, George Carpenter; and (c) an Unsecured Note in the principal amount of $200,000 and a warrant to purchase 333,333 shares of common stock, to Andy Sassine (an accredited investor who had previously invested in us and as a result of the purchase became a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock);

2) on February 28, 2011, we issued (a) an Unsecured Note in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000, and a warrant to purchase 666,666 shares of common stock, to Highland Long/Short Healthcare Fund (“Highland”) (which had previously invested in us and as a result of the February 28 purchase became a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock) and (b) an Unsecured Note in the principal amount of $187,500, and a warrant to purchase 312,500 shares, to SAIL Venture Partners, LP, of which David Jones, a director of our company, is a senior partner of the general partner, (c) an Unsecured Note in the principal amount of $62,500, and a warrant to purchase 104,166 shares, to SAIL 2010 Co-Investment Partners, L.P., an entity likewise affiliated with Mr. Jones;

3) on April 15, 2011, we issued (a) an additional Unsecured Note in the principal amount of $250,000, and a warrant to purchase 416,666 shares, to SAIL Venture Partners, LP and (b) an additional Unsecured Note in the principal amount of $250,000, and a warrant to purchase 416,666 shares, to SAIL 2010 Co-Investment Partners, L.P.; and

 
47

 

4) on April 25, 2011, we issued (a) an additional Unsecured Note in the principal amount of $125,000, and a warrant to purchase 208,333 shares, to SAIL Venture Partners, LP, (b) an additional Unsecured Note in the principal amount of $125,000, and a warrant to purchase 208,333 shares, to SAIL 2010 Co-Investment Partners, L.P. and (c) an Unsecured Note in the principal amount of $150,000 and a warrant to purchase 250,000 shares, to Cummings Bay Healthcare Fund, LP., the portfolio manager of which also serves as the portfolio manager of Highland.
 
The remainder of the total amounts disclosed in the first paragraph hereof, i.e., Unsecured Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $650,000 and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,083,000 shares of common stock, were issued to non-affiliated accredited investors on January 20, February 3, February 7, February 15, March 3, April 5, April 22 and April 25, 2011.
 
The January Purchase Agreement provides for the issuance and sale of Unsecured Notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $5,000,000, and warrants to purchase a number of shares corresponding to 50% of the number of shares issuable on conversion of the Unsecured Notes, in one or multiple closings to occur no later than July 31, 2011. The January Purchase Agreement also provides that we and the holders of the Unsecured Notes will enter into a registration rights agreement covering the registration of the resale of the shares underlying the Unsecured Notes and the related warrants.
 
The Unsecured 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, are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.30, are not secured by any of our assets and are subordinated in all respects to our obligations under the October Notes and the related guaranties issued to certain investors by SAIL Venture Partners, L.P. 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 Unsecured 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 Unsecured Notes can be declared due and payable upon an event of default, defined in the Unsecured Notes to occur, among other things, if we fail to pay principal and interest when due, in the case of voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or if we fail to perform any covenant or agreement as required by the Unsecured Note.

The warrants related to the Unsecured Notes expire seven years from the date of issuance and are exercisable for shares of our common stock 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 Unsecured Notes or related warrants can be amended, waived or modified upon the written consent of us and holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of such notes outstanding. Any such consent will affect all Unsecured Notes or warrants, as the case may be, and will be binding on all holders thereof.

Monarch has acted as non-exclusive placement agent with respect to the placement of Unsecured Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $750,000 and related warrants, pursuant to an engagement agreement, dated January 19, 2011, between us and Monarch. Under the engagement agreement, in return for its services as non-exclusive placement agent, Monarch is entitled to receive (a) a cash fee equal to 10% of the gross proceeds raised from the sale of Unsecured Notes to investors introduced to us by Monarch; (b) a cash expense allowance equal to 2% of the gross proceeds raised from the sale of Unsecured Notes to such investors; and (c) five-year warrants (the “2011 Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase our common stock equal to 10% of the gross amount of securities sold to such investors. The 2011 Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to 110% of the conversion price of the Unsecured Notes and an exercise period of five years. The terms of the 2011 Placement Agent Warrants, except for the exercise price and period, are identical to the terms of the warrants related to the Unsecured Notes. In connection with acting as nonexclusive placement agent with respect to Unsecured Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $750,000 and related warrants, Monarch received aggregate cash fees of $75,000 and an aggregate cash expense allowance of $15,000, and 2011 Placement Agent Warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 249,998 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.33 per share.

Antaeus Capital, Inc. has acted as non-exclusive placement agent with respect to the placement of Unsecured Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000 and related warrants, pursuant to an engagement agreement, dated April 15, 2011, between us and Antaeus. Under the engagement agreement, in return for its services as non-exclusive placement agent, Antaeus is entitled to receive (a) a cash fee equal to 10% of the gross proceeds raised from the sale of Unsecured Notes to investors introduced to us by Antaeus; and (b) 2011 Placement Agent Warrants to purchase our common stock equal to 10% of the gross amount of securities sold to such investors. The 2011 Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to 110% of the conversion price of the Unsecured Notes and an exercise period of five years. The terms of the 2011 Placement Agent Warrants, except for the exercise price and period, are identical to the terms of the warrants related to the Unsecured Notes. In connection with acting as nonexclusive placement agent with respect to Unsecured Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000 and related warrants, Antaeus will receive aggregate cash fees of $15,000 and 2011 Placement Agent Warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.33 per share.

On April 25, 2011 we issued 93,679 shares of common stock as payment in lieu of cash for an aggregate amount of $44,029 owed to two vendors who had provided consulting services to the Company.  These shares were issued to these vendors, who were also accredited investors, at $0.47 per share. This was based on the quoted closing price of the Company’s stock on March 11, 2011, which was the date that our Board approved this stock issuance.

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/or 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.
