VYCOR MEDICAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2013
(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements of the Company present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of Vycor Medical, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Commission. In accordance with those rules and regulations certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in comprehensive financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 derives from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

2. FORMATION AND BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

Business Description

Vycor Medical, LLC was formed on June 17, 2005 as a New York Limited Liability Company. The Company changed its name to Vycor Medical, Inc. and converted to a Delaware Corporation on August 14, 2007 and issued 107 shares of common stock in exchange for each of the 1,122 partnership units outstanding at date of conversion. The assets, liabilities and operations of the Company did not change pursuant to this reorganization, and the accompanying financial statements are presented as if the change occurred on the first day of the earliest period presented. Accordingly, all references to number of shares prior to the date of conversion are based upon the common stock equivalent of the partnership units outstanding on such dates.

The Company designs, develops and markets neurological medical devices and therapies through two operating divisions: Vycor Medical and NovaVision. Vycor Medical focuses on brain and cervical surgical access systems for sale to hospitals and medical professionals; NovaVision focuses on neuro-stimulation therapies and diagnostic devices for the treatment and screening of vision field loss.

3. GOING CONCERN

The Company's financial statements have been presented on a basis that contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and assumes the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since its inception, including a net loss of $662,672 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and the Company expects to incur additional losses. The Company has generated negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of March 31, 2013, current liabilities exceeded current assets by $3,668,904 the Company had a stockholders' deficit of $2,075,367 and cash and cash equivalents of $15,924. The Company believes it will not have enough cash to meet its various cash needs unless the Company is able to obtain additional cash from the issuance of debt or equity securities. The Company intends to raise funds from the issuance of equity and/or debt securities, but there is no assurance that additional funds from the issuance of equity will be available for the Company to finance its operations on acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may have to delay development or commercialization of products or technologies that the Company would otherwise seek to commercialize, or cease operations. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vycor Medical, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NovaVision, Inc. (a Delaware corporation), NovaVision GmbH (a German corporation) and Sight Science Limited (a UK corporation), both wholly owned subsidiaries of NovaVision, Inc. The Company is headquartered in Boca Raton, FL. The operations of Sight Science have been consolidated since January 4, 2012 the date of the completion of the acquisition of all the shares of Sight Science. All material inter-company accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company's accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows when implemented.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of incremental shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of preferred stock and convertible debt. Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be to reduce a net loss per share. No dilution adjustment has been made to the weighted average outstanding common shares in the periods presented because the assumed exercise of outstanding options and warrants and the conversion of preferred stock and debt would be anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the potential shares of common stock that are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share:


	March 31,	March 31,
	2013	2012
Stock options outstanding	5,557	5,557
Warrants to purchase common stock	1,749,874	1,745,207
Debentures convertible into common stock	368,727	368,726
Preferred shares convertible into common stock	582,233	826,681
Total	2,706,391	2,946,171

Incentive stock options must be granted at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. The options granted to participants owning more than 10% of the Company's outstanding voting stock must be granted at an exercise price not less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. The options expire on the date determined by the board of directors, but may not extend mare than 10 years from the grant date, while incentive stock options granted to participants owning more than 10% of the Company's outstanding voting stock expire five years from the grant date. The vesting period for employees is generally over three years. The vesting Period for non-employees

is determined based on the services being provided. The maximum number of shares of stock which may be delivered under the plan shall automatically increase by a number sufficient to cause the number of shares covered by the plan to equal 10% of the total number of shares of stock then outstanding on a fully diluted basis.

Under ASC Topic 718, the Company estimates the fair value of option awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model. The grant date fair value is recognized over the option vesting period, the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Under these standards, compensation cost for employee cost for employee stock-based awards is based on the estimated grant-date fair value and recognized over the vesting period of the applicable award on a straight-line basis. No employee stock options were granted for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Initial grants of options to purchase 500,000 shares were issued under the Plan on February 13, 2008 to each of Kenneth T. Coviello, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Heather N. Vinas, the Company's President at an exercise price of $0.135 per share. The options vested 33-1/3% on each of the first, second, and third anniversary of the grant and expire February 12, 2018. Following Heather Vinas' resignation as President of the Company in May 2010, 166,667 unvested options were cancelled. The Company recognized share-based compensation of $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Stock appreciation rights may be granted either on a stand alone basis or in conjunction with all or part of any other stock options granted under the plan. As of March 31, 2012 there were no awards of any stock appreciation rights.

The Company from time to time issues common stock, stock options or common stock warrants to acquire services or goods from non-employees. Common stock, stock options and common stock warrants issued to other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value, which is measured as of the "measurement date" using an option pricing model. The "measurement date" for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the life of the option or warrant.

The details of the outstanding rights, options and warrants and value of such rights, options and warrants are as follows:


STOCK WARRANTS:	Number of shares			Weighted average exercise price per share
Outstanding at December 31, 2011	1,747,347		$	3.07
Granted	4,667			4.50

As of March 31, 2013, the weighted-average remaining contractual life of outstanding warrants and options is 1.69 and 4.88 years, respectively.

Non-Employee Stock Compensation

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,482 and 2,632 shares of common stock, respectively, valued at $5,000, to each of Steven Girgenti and Oscar Bronsther for services rendered to the board of directors. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, a total of $10,000 was recognized as share-based compensation for the issuance of these shares.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 the Company issued an aggregate of 926, 1,646, 1,646 and 926 shares of common stock, respectively, valued at $3,125, to each of Alvaro Pascual-Leone, Jason Barton, Jose Romano and Josef Zihl for services rendered to the Scientific Advisory Board of NovaVision. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, an aggregate of $12,500 was recognized as share-based compensation for the issuance of these shares.

On November 30, 2012 the Company entered into 12 month consulting agreements with Del Mar Consulting, Inc and Alex Partners, LLC to provide investor relations and investor awareness consultancy services. Under these agreements, Del Mar and Alex Partners received shares Common Shares valued at $157,500 and $105,000 respectively. The value of these shares is being amortized over the period of the agreement, and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 stock compensation of $65,625 was recognized as share-based compensation in connection with these agreements.

Aggregate stock-based compensation expense charged to operations for stock and warrants granted to the above non-employees for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $88,125. As of March 31, 2013, there was $175,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to warrant and stock awards and non-vested options.

Stock-based compensation expenses related to employee options and warrants granted to non-employees are recognized as the stock options and warrants are earned. The fair value of the stock options or warrants granted is estimated at the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the life of the option or warrant. The grant date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the fair value of the underlying common stock on the measurement date, adjusted for the unique characteristics of those equity instruments, using the assumptions noted in the table below. The fair value of the common stock is determined by the then-prevailing private placement purchase price. Expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of a peer group of publicly traded companies. The expected term of options and warrants was based upon the life of the option, and the risk-free rate used was based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rate.

The following assumptions were used in calculations of the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options and warrants expensed in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2013	2012
Risk-free interest rates	-	2.39 %
Expected life	-	3 years
Expected dividends	-	0%
Expected volatility	-	96%
Vycor Common Stock fair value	-	$1.88-$3.38

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease

The Company leases approximately 10,000 sq. ft located at 6401 Congress Ave., Suite 140, Boca Raton, FL 33487 from Catexor Limited Partnership for a gross rent of $14,260 plus sales tax per month. The term of the lease is 5 years and 6 months terminating July, 2017. The Company's subsidiaries in Germany and the UK occupy properties on short term lease agreements. Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $48,553 and $48,198 respectively.

Potential German tax liability and connected professional fees

In June 2012 the Company's German subsidiary received a preliminary assessment for Magdeburg City trade tax of approximately €75,000 (approximately $94,000). This assessment is for the 2010 fiscal year and relates to the Company's acquisition of the assets of the former NovaVision, Inc. An initial assessment for corporate tax for the same period has been preliminarily reduced to zero. The Company has not accepted this trade tax assessment and is in discussion with the relevant tax authorities with a view to its reduction. To the extent that this assessment, a higher or a reduced amount, is ultimately confirmed by the tax authorities, the Company believes it has a very strong claim against certain professional advisors which would offset the liability in full. Accordingly, the Company has made no provision for this liability for the three months ending March 31, 2013 or the year ended December 31, 2012.

Related to the above tax situation, the Company has incurred advisory fees. The Company believes it also has a strong claim against certain professional advisors for a recovery of the full amount of the fees, however such recovery may be limited to a statutory minimum. Accordingly the Company has made a provision in the period ended December 31, 2012 for the full amount of these fees, being approximately €39,000 ($50,105); there were no costs incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Potential Patent Infringement

The Company is aware that a potential competitor is developing a product similar to VBAS for sale in a foreign market. If this product comes to market, Vycor has the option to take action to enforce its patent rights. As with all patent infringement actions, there is some risk that the accused infringer will not be found to infringe the claims, and an additional risk that the accused infringer will successfully challenge the validity of the asserted claims.

VBAS Limited Product Recall

In August 2012 the Company initiated a limited product recall having identified a microscopic fiber in a single lot of its TC171105 model. Further investigation concluded that there was a very low incidence of this microscopic fiber in the lot, which had not been picked up during the manufacturer’s inspection process. The FDA was notified and all customers with units that had been distributed (a total of 5 customers in the U.S. and 2 customers internationally) were contacted and the units were recalled and replaced with re-inspected and passed units, or internationally re-inspected under 100% enhanced inspection guidelines; this recall and replacement process was completed in the US in September 2012 and internationally in November 2012 and there are no affected units on the marketplace. In January 2013, following their review, the FDA classified the recall as a Class I. The Company has submitted a recall termination request to the FDA.

Vycor re-inspected all remaining units in the lot prior to shipment under 100% enhanced inspection procedures and took steps to ensure that this issue was contained to this lot and that other lots and products were not affected (this is one of 12 products sold by Vycor). The likely source of the fiber was identified and corrective steps implemented in both the manufacturing and inspection processes to ensure that the issue would not re-occur.

Management believes that a decline in sales during February 2013 may have at least partially been the result of the posting by the FDA in late January 2013 of the Class 1 classification to the recall and which created some short-term customer instability. Notwithstanding, for the period commencing March 1, 2013 and continuing through early May, 2013, the Company's sales have returned to pre-February 2013 levels and Vycor is not able at this time to determine whether there will be any additional financial impact on the Company as a result of this recall. Vycor's customers have appreciated that Vycor took swift voluntary action to remove this product from the marketplace, even though the incidence of this fiber and therefore the risk was low, before any units could be used, and to maintain Vycor's high safety and quality standards.

10. CONSULTING AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

The Company has entered into no new consulting or other agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The following agreements remained in force during the period:

1. Organizational History

We were formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of New York on June 17, 2005 as "Vycor Medical LLC". On August 14, 2007, we converted into a Delaware corporation and changed our name to "Vycor Medical, Inc." ("Vycor" or the "Company"). On November 29, 2010, Vycor, through its wholly-owned subsidiary NovaVision Acquisition, Inc., completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the former NovaVision, Inc., a company that had been in the business of researching, developing and providing medical technologies to restore the vision of patients with neurological visual loss. Subsequent to the purchase, NovaVision Acquisition, Inc. changed its name to NovaVision, Inc. ("NovaVision"). On January 4, 2012 Vycor, through its wholly-owned subsidiary NovaVision, completed the acquisition of all the shares of Sight Science Limited ("Sight Science").

2. Overview of Business

Vycor operates two distinct business units within the medical industry: Vycor Medical (which operates as a division of the Company) and NovaVision. Vycor Medical is a medical device company that designs, develops and markets medical devices for use in neurosurgery. NovaVision (which incorporates Sight Science) develops non-invasive, computer-based visual neuro-stimulation therapy for patients suffering from vision field deficits resulting from neurological trauma such as stroke and traumatic brain injuries, as well as screening and diagnostic products. In addition to our existing products and products in development, we actively seek acquisition, joint ventures and in-licensing opportunities in the medical device and therapy fields which we believe are complementary, can benefit from our existing infrastructure and will add shareholder value.

Vycor Medical

Introduction

Vycor Medical is a medical device company that designs, develops and markets medical devices for use in neurosurgery. Vycor Medical is ISO 13485:2003 compliant, has U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance for brain and spine surgeries, and CE Marking for Europe (Class III) as well as applicable regulatory approvals in Australia, Canada, China, Japan and Russia for sale of its

brain access system. Vycor Medical's ViewSite Brain Access System (VBAS) is a next generation access and retraction system that was fully commercialized in early 2010. The VBAS device is the first significant technological change to brain tissue retraction and access. The incumbent blade retractor technology has not changed materially in over 50 years in contrast to development in most other neuro-surgical technologies.

Vycor Medical has a current product pipeline that is both aimed at enhancing ease of use and compatibility in the current VBAS range, and expanding the applicable procedures it addresses by expanding its VBAS range. A second potential product range is the Cervical Access System (VCAS), which requires further prototyping and market testing prior to a decision to commercialize. This product is designed to assist the surgeon in cervical surgeries, allowing the surgeon to gain access to the anterior cervical surgery site; the VCAS is covered by Vycor's 510(k) clearance.

Vycor Medical's Products

Viewsite Brain Access System (VBAS)

To access a surgical site in the brain, the surgeon needs to remove part of the skull (craniotomy) and then part (retract) the soft brain tissue to access the target site. The current standard of care utilizes a metal blade retractor to force the tissue apart; to maintain the opening the blades are attached to a head frame and tension is applied to the tissue.

The VBAS series is used by neurosurgeons to access the surgical site in the brain. This is done by inserting the VBAS into the brain tissue and then removing the VBAS introducer, leaving the remaining hollow working channel in place to provide the surgeon with access to the precise location desired for surgery.

The VBAS is available in multiple sizes and is a single-use product. The series consists of twelve disposable products, offered in four different port diameters of 12mm, 17mm, 21mm and 28 mm and a choice of three lengths for each of 3, 5, and 7cm. We intend to add additional models in the future.

We believe our Brain Access System offers several advantages over the brain retractor systems, commonly known as ribbon or blade retractors that are metallic, including having the potential to significantly reduce brain tissue trauma resulting from the currently used retractors when accessing deep brain targets. Brain tissue damage caused by retraction has been estimated at 5-10%. The VBAS' unique design and shape helps minimize the size of the brain entry access (size of the corticotomy) necessary for surgical procedures, and reduces the pressure exerted on the tissue that is retracted.

The Market For Vycor Medical's VBAS Product

The market for Vycor Medical's VBAS product range is craniotomy procedures. Based on statistics from the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, an estimated 700,000 such procedures were performed in the US in 2012. Of this, management believe approximately 200,000 (28 percent) are addressable by the VBAS range currently, with another 125,000 (total of 325,000 or 46 percent) addressable by an expanded range. Management estimates, for the global market, there exists an current addressable market of 1,000,000 procedures with another 600,000 addressable by an expanded VBAS range.

Sales and Marketing

Domestic Sales Strategy

The VBAS sales strategy is focused on driving sales through leading neurosurgeons. In this regard, Vycor Medical has adopted a dual strategy of targeting both the neurosurgeons specializing in brain and the larger neurosurgical hospitals.

Vycor Medical sells to stocking regional distributors and direct to hospitals through independent representatives, all of whom have existing relationships with neurosurgeons to target hospitals and drive our sales.

International Sales

Vycor Medical's strategy is to target those countries or regions internationally where it has patent protection and either has or can obtain regulatory approval. Vycor Medical utilizes select medical device distributors with experience in neurosurgical devices in their countries or regions. In Europe, the Company has agreements with distributors for Spain, Italy, Belgium, Scandinavia, Switzerland and the U.K. who are all focused in neurosurgery, and is seeking representation in a range of other European countries. Vycor also has required regulatory approvals in Australia, Canada, China, Japan and Russia with distribution agreements in place or being put into place.

VBAS Market and the Hospital Adoption Process

The market for VBAS in the US is relatively concentrated. Teaching hospitals not only carry out more relevant procedures but also provide a natural way to drive adoption through the conversion of new surgeons. We focus our efforts initially on surgeons as the principle proponent within the hospital. Vycor has found that the learning curve is only 1-2 cases for surgeons,

who like the simplicity of design and ease of use after trialing the product. However, Hospital Administration is required to approve the purchase of a new product and sometimes even a trial or evaluation product and this is one of the key barriers to the speed of adoption.

Experience has been that the approval process can take up to six months for each hospital, and in some cases may even be longer.

Peer Review and Other Clinical Studies

The publication of clinical papers in neurosurgery journals by surgeon-users of VBAS regarding their experiences with the products (peer review papers), and the publication of other clinical data, is important for the Company as it continues to evidence the clinical superiority of VBAS. During 2011 the following papers were published:


	•			"Usage of a Minimally Invasive Tubular Retraction System for Deep-Seated Tumors in Pediatric Patients" in Journal of Neurosurgery in May 2011: Pediatrics. Co-authors Pablo Recinos, M.D., of the Cleveland Clinic and George Jallo, M.D., of Johns Hopkins University conclude that while access to deep-seated, intra-axial tumors is challenging, the ViewSite™ tubular retractor and frameless neuro navigation facilitated the surgical approach and the combination of these technologies adds to the surgeon's armamentarium to safely approach tumors in deep locations.
	•			"Vycor Viewsite TC: Endoscope-guided Intraparenchimal Brain Tumor Resection," by Daniel Prevedello, M.D., Director of the Minimally Invasive Cranial Surgery Program at the Ohio State University. Dr Prevedello reported on a case with a patient taking Avastin®, which delays surgical wound healing. He said the Viewsite TC was essential to the surgery; otherwise, no procedure could have been performed on the patient.
	•			"Minimally Invasive Trans-Portal Resection of Deep Intracranial Lesions" in Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery, February 2011 a Johns Hopkins University paper by lead author A. Quinones Hinojosa. The authors reported a case series of 9 adult and pediatric patients with a variety of pathologies, including colloid cyst, DNET, papillary pineal tumor, anaplastic astrocytoma, toxoplasmosis and lymphoma. The locations of the lesions approached included: lateral ventricle, basal ganglia, pulvinar/posterior thalamus and insular cortex. Post-operative imaging was assessed to determine extent of resection and extent of white matter damage along the surgical trajectory. Satisfactory resection or biopsy was obtained in all patients. "VBAS lends itself well to minimally invasive microsurgical approaches and can be used in combination with modern navigational systems. The use of navigation permits not only the creation of a smaller craniotomy but also facilitates the creation of a trajectory that provides efficient and safe means for splitting white fiber tracts," said the authors.

Manufacturing

Vycor Medical has executed agreements with Lacey Manufacturing Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut ("Lacey") and C&J Industries, Meadville PA ("C&J") to provide a full range of engineering, contract manufacturing and logistical support for our products.

Lacey and C&J are recognized leaders in the medical contract manufacturing sector, providing vertically integrated full services. They are U.S. Food and Drug Administration registered and meet ISO standards and certifications. Lacey and C&J each manufacture 6 of the VBAS 12 different sizes.

Intellectual Property

Patents

Vycor Medical maintains a portfolio of patent protection on its methods and apparatus for its Brain and Spine products and technology in the form of issued patents and applications, both domestically and internationally, with a total of 3 granted and 13 pending patents.

Vycor Medical's 3 granted patents are in the China (Brain), Hong Kong (Brain), and Russia (Brain).

Vycor Medical's 13 pending patents are in: Canada (Brain, Spine), Europe (Brain, Spine), India (Brain, Spine), Japan (Brain and Spine), Hong Kong (Spine), US (Brain Method, Brain Appartus, Spine, Extension Arm).

Trademarks

VYCOR MEDICAL is a registered trademark and VIEWSITE is pending registration as a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

NovaVision, Inc.

Introduction

NovaVision develops and markets a non-invasive, computer-based light stimulation therapy called Vision Restoration Therapy (VRT) and through its recently acquired subsidiary, Sight Science, Neuro-Eye Therapy (NeET). Both therapies are aimed at those suffering from a permanent vision visual field deficit, which reduces mobility and other activities of daily living, resulting from neurological trauma such as stroke and traumatic brain injury.

NovaVision operates in the US through our wholly-owned subsidiary, NovaVision, Inc., in Germany through our wholly-owned subsidiary, NovaVision GmbH. and in the UK through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Sight Science.

VRT is based on NovaVision's platform technology. The diagnostic algorithm in the VRT product first maps the visual field and defines the areas of defect in patients suffering vision loss. The therapeutic algorithm in the VRT product is then specifically designed for each patient based upon the results of the diagnostic program and it repetitively challenges the visual cortex with thousands of stimuli over the course of time. VRT is generally performed over a four to six month period, twice a day for an hour total, six days a week. The Company maintains broad IP protection. NovaVision has collected significant amounts of data from clinical studies and peer reviewed papers that support the Company's claims about the benefits of its platform technology for vision restoration and other indications. NovaVision has received 510(k) clearance and CE Marking for VRT and NeET (both Class I).

The market for NovaVision's therapies comprises those suffering from vision loss resulting from neurological trauma such as stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI). The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates there are 8 million Americans who have previously had a stroke incident, with 740,000 additional cases occurring annually. Additionally, approximately 5.3 million Americans live with long term deficits resulting from a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Based on published reports of industry specialists, A. Pambakian and C. Kennard, it is estimated that approximately 16% of these patients experience a permanent visual field deficit, reducing mobility and other activities of daily living. NovaVision's target market is this subset of patients who have suffered a visual field deficit. Management estimates that NovaVision's addressable target market is approximately 1.5 million people in the US, approximately 1.4 million people in Europe and approximately 6.4 million people throughout the rest of the world.

Competition

NovaVision provides restitution therapies for those suffering neurologically-induced vision loss, other therapies being substitution (optical aids such as prisms, which NovaVision does not really consider as competition) and compensation or adaption (eye movement training). Within compensation and adaption, competitors include RevitalVision, PositScience and NVT Systems. In restitution competition has been reduced through NovaVision's acquisition of Sight Science and really only leaves two small companies, Teltra and Visiontrainer.

Platform Technology

The management of NovaVision believes that the underlying basis for the visual field recovery it has witnessed, and the functional outcome improvements it has noted with its patients, is largely due to neuroplasticity of the visual field which is the brain's ability to remap or repair itself in response to a pre-programmed and deliberate stimulation. Neuroplasticity has been discussed over the last 20 years or so and, as far back as 1990, Charles D. Gilbert and Torsten N Wiesel talked about the cortex not having a fixed functional architecture. The platform technology is comprised of proprietary algorithms that generate patient-specific therapies enabling NovaVision's products to be used as both diagnostic and therapeutic tools. The platform technology generates light-based, or photic, stimulus programs consisting of a fixation point on a display screen. As the patient focuses on this fixation point, a series of photic stimuli are delivered on the screen that are specific to the patient's neurological requirements, and relayed directly to the brain using the eye as a conduit.

Management believes that it is these programmed light sequences that stimulate the border zone between the "seeing" and "blind" visual fields which induces neuroplasticity. While neuroplasticity for explaining VRT has never been conclusively demonstrated, a 2007 study by Randold S. Marshall, using MRI did demonstrate that VRT results in increased neural activity in the visual cortex. Irrespective of mechanism, patient studies point to significantly improved functional outcomes for patients who have done VRT treatment. This improvement manifests itself in greater confidence to move around and, according to data published by G. Westheimer, an average shift of 4.9 degrees in the border between seeing and blind visual fields. The visual field is the portion of space surrounding an individual which is visible at any given time by that individual while their gaze is held stationary. To humans, the central 10° of visual field holds the greatest functional importance for focal and cognitive tasks.

Clinical Data Relating to VRT

NovaVision has accumulated significant amounts of clinical data as a result of company-sponsored trials as well as studies conducted by independent third parties.



				•			Approximately 70% of patients experience positive outcome reflected by an increase in their visual field and studies have indicated an average increase of 4.9 degrees (Mueller I, Mast H, Sabel BA (2007)).
				•			Elapsed time since injury does not seem to impact VRT and NeET therapies success. Therefore, a massive historical backlog of patients can potentially be treated (Romano JG, Schulz P, Kenkel S, Todd DP (2008)).
				•			Improvements are permanent and do not appear to be age or gender dependent.
				•			Age at the onset of the injury is not a critical factor, allowing access to the therapy by both young and older adults with brain injuries (Romano JG, Schulz P, Kenkel S, Todd DP (2008)).

Regulatory Matters

In the U.S., NovaVision's products are regulated by the FDA as Class U medical devices subject to 510(k) clearances, and in Europe NovaVision has CE Marking for VRT as a Class I device. NovaVision received its 510(k) clearance for VRT specific to Stroke and TBI indications in 2003.

Intellectual Property

Patents

NovaVision maintains a portfolio of patent protection on its methods and apparatus in the form of issued patents and applications, both domestically and internationally, with a total of 29 granted and 10 pending patents (including Sight Science).

NovaVision's 29 granted patents are in the U.S. (12), Canada (3), Europe (7), Australia (1), China (2), Hong Kong (1), Singapore (1), India (1) and Japan (1).

NovaVision's 10 pending patents are in the U.S. and Canada (3), Europe (5), Australia (1) and Japan (1).

Trademarks

NovaVision maintains a portfolio of registered trademarks for NOVAVISION, NOVAVISION VRT and VISION RESTORATION THERAPY amongst others, both in the US and internationally.

Manufacturing and Operations

NovaVision is based at the Vycor Medical, Inc. group headquarters at a 10,000 square foot leased facility in Boca Raton, Florida. NovaVision purchases electronics and custom fabricated hardware from third party vendors and assembles and tests all of its medical devices within the facility. NovaVision has an FDA Establishment Registration and the Company does not have any long-term contractual obligations with its vendors to purchase products from them, nor are suppliers contractually obligated to sell products to NovaVision.

Sight Science, Ltd.

In January 2012 NovaVision acquired Sight Science, Ltd. ("Sight Science"). Sight Science, which was established in 2009 based on the research of Professor Arash Sahraie at the University of Aberdeen, provides an interactive computer-based therapy called Neuro-Eye Therapy ("NeET"), which patients administer at home. To date, over 100 patients have utilized NeET. Sight Science has 6 patents granted in the UK, Canada, France, Germany, Switzerland and Singapore and 1 patent pending in the U.S., all of which are included under the NovaVision Patents section above. Prof. Sahraie has conducted extensive research on blindsight and residual visual processing after brain injury, and is highly regarded in the field.

As part of the transaction, Prof. Sahraie agreed to join NovaVision as its Chief Scientific Officer on a part-time secondment basis from the University for a minimum of 5 years. Prof. Sahraie is responsible for driving NovaVision's scientific effort to develop and validate technologies in vision rehabilitation for visual field defects resulting from brain injury. The acquisition also created a long-term relationship between the Company, NovaVision and the University, which is a leading medical research center.

Both NovaVision's VRT and Sight Science's NeET work on the basis that repeated stimulation of the blind areas by either bright patches of light (VRT) or the specific spatial patterns (NeET) and can lead to increases in sensitivity of the blind areas. Patients progress after VRT appears to be initiated at the blind and sighted borders whereas NeET results in changes deep within the field damage. Both therapies are able to demonstrate improvements in both visual sensitivity and activities of daily living. The Company believes that these therapies are highly complementary.

3. Other Matters

Product Liability Insurance

We presently have Product Liability insurance for both Vycor Medical and NovaVision.

Government Regulations

We are committed to an integrated total quality management system. We believe that we have completed the necessary procedures and Vycor Medical is certified to the ISO standards expected of medical device manufacturers as follows:

ISO 13485:2003 Medical Devices — Quality Management Systems

The certification of a quality management system to ISO 13485, specifically for medical devices, is advantageous and often essential for medical companies to export their products to the global market, as well as maintain and enter into certain agreements and business growth opportunities within the U.S. For example, Canada requires that medical device manufacturers marketing their products in Canada must have a quality system certified to ISO 13485:2003. The certification is also required for placement of branded devices into the European Union.

Vycor Medical has the following certification/licensing:

•Fully Quality Assurance System Directive 93/42/EEC for Medical Devices, Annex II (3)

•EC Design-Examination Certificate Directive 93/42/EEC for Medical Devices, Annex II (4)

•ISO 13485.2003

Continuing Regulatory Requirements

Vycor Medical's products have been classified as Class II products by the FDA and cleared for marketing through the 510(k) process. NovaVision's VRT product has been cleared as a Class U product through the 510(k) while its HMP is registered as an exempt Class 1 device.

After a device is placed on the market, numerous regulatory requirements apply. These include:


	•			quality system regulation, which requires manufacturers to follow design, testing, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during the manufacturing process;
	•			labeling regulations, which prohibit the promotion of products for unapproved or "off-label" uses and impose other restrictions on labeling; and
	•			medical device reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA if their device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if it were to recur.

Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, and failure to respond to requested corrective actions on an ongoing basis, can result in enforcement action by the FDA.

Medical device laws are also in effect in many of the countries outside of the United States in which we do business. These laws range from comprehensive device approval and quality system requirements for some or all of our medical device products to simple requests for product data or certifications. The number and scope of these requirements are increasing. In June 1998, the European Union Medical Device Directive became effective, and all medical devices must meet the Medical Device Directive standards and receive CE mark certification. CE mark certification involves a comprehensive Quality System program, and submission of data on a product to the Notified Body in Europe.

Vycor Medical has obtained the CE marking approval to allow for distribution of its VBAS products in Europe as a Class III device and has received HPB licensing approval for distribution in Canada. NovaVison's VRT and Sight Science's NeET have CE mark registrations as Class I devices in Europe. HMP does not have European regulatory clearance at this time.

Employees

We currently have 14 full-time employees.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Revenue and Gross Margin:


		2012		2011	% Change
Revenue:
Vycor Medical	$	130,665	$	321,781	(59	)%
NovaVision		101,009		110,820	(9	)%
Total Revenue	$	231,674	$	432,601	(46	)%

Gross Profit
Vycor Medical	$	116,279	$	260,588	(55	)%
NovaVision		85,377		92,591	(8	)%
Total Gross Profit	$	201,656	$	353,179	(43	%)

Vycor Medical recorded revenue of $130,665 from the sale of its products for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $191,116 over the same period in 2012. The decrease in sales was primarily attributable to a shipment to the People's Republic of China (PRC) with a value of $152,850 during the 2012 period that was not repeated in the 2013 period. In addition, management believes that a decline in sales during February 2013 may have at least partially been the result of the posting by the FDA in late January 2013 of a Class 1 classification to the recall which the Company had completed in November 2012, and which created some short-term customer instability. Notwithstanding, for the period commencing March 1, 2013 and continuing through early May, 2013, the Company's sales have returned to pre-February 2013 levels. Gross margin of 89% was achieved in 2012 compared to 81% for 2012. Gross margin is mostly a product of sale mix between US sales through distributors, US sales direct and international sales. International sales are all indirect through distributors and end-market prices internationally tend to be lower.

NovaVision recorded revenues of $101,009 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $9,811 over the same period in 2012, and gross margin of 85%, compared to 84% for the same period in 2012.

Research and Development Expense:

Research and development ("R&D") expenses were $31,350 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $24,687 for the same period in 2012.

General and Administrative Expenses:

General and administrative expenses decreased by $371,315 to $683,658 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $1,054,973 for the same period in 2012. Included within General and Administrative Expenses are non-cash charges for share based compensation as the result of amortizing employee and non-employee shares, warrants and options which have been issued by the Company over various periods. The charge for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $88,125, a decrease of $61,217 over $149,342 in 2012. Also included within General and Administrative Expenses are Sales Commissions, which increased by $5,556 to $27,665.

The remaining General and Administrative decrease of $315,654 reflects: reduced investor relations costs ($39,000); reduced professional and consulting fees ($34,907); reduced premises costs ($50,500); reduced payroll costs ($76,022); reduced sales and marketing costs ($43,639); and reduced other costs ($71,586).

Interest Expense:

Interest expense includes interest expense on the Company's debt and insurance policy financing. Interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased by $11,293 to $42,893 from $31,600 for the same period in 2012, reflecting increased debt levels.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

The following table shows cash flow and liquidity data for the periods ended March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:


		March 31, 2013			December 31, 2012			$ Change
Cash	$	15,924		$	59,821		$	(43,897	)
Accounts receivable, inventory and other current assets	$	715,524		$	863,957		$	(148,433	)
Total current liabilities	$	(4,400,352	)	$	(4,018,810	)	$	(381,542	)
Working capital deficit	$	(3,668,904	)	$	(3,095,032	)	$	(573,872	)
Cash provided by financing activities	$	340,626		$	728,368		$	(387,742	)

As of March 31, 2013 we had $15,924 cash, a working capital deficit of $3,668,904 and an accumulated deficit of $15,250,586. Total Stockholders' equity at March 31, 2013 was $2,075,367. Total debt at March 31, 2013, included in the working capital deficit above, was $2,536,100.

Uses of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimated. To the extent management's estimates prove to be incorrect, financial results for future periods may be adversely affected. Significant estimates and assumptions contained in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include management's estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, amortization of intangible assets, and the fair values of options and warrant included in the determination of debt discounts and share based compensation.

Going Concern

Research and Development

The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Cash balances may at times exceed the FDIC insured limits. Cash also includes a US investment account in a money market backed by government securities up to 105% of the account balance. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Included within cash are deposits paid by patients, held by the Company until the patient returns the VRT device at the end of therapy. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 patient deposits amounted to $31,121 and $35,000, respectively, and are reserved against in Other Current Liabilities.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized; repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the current authoritative guidance. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established, when it is more likely than not that such benefit will not be realized.

Patents and Other Intangible Assets

The Company capitalizes legal and related costs associated with the establishment and enhancement of patents for its products once patents have been applied for. Costs associated with the development of the patented item or processes are charged to research and development costs and expensed as incurred. The capitalized costs are amortized over the life of the patent. The Company reviews intangible assets on an annual in accordance with the authoritative guidance. Trademarks have an indefinite life and are also reviewed annually by management for impairment in accordance with the authoritative guidance.

Revenue Recognition

Vycor Medical generates revenue from the sale of its surgical access system to hospitals and other medical professionals. Vycor Medical records revenue when a completed contract for the sale exists, the product is invoiced and shipped to the customer. Vycor Medical does provide for product returns or warranty costs.

NovaVision generates revenues from various programs, therapy services and other sources such as government grants. Therapy services revenues represent fees from NovaVision's vision restoration therapy software, diagnostic software, medical devices, clinic set up and training fees, and the professional and support services associated with the therapy. NovaVision recognizes revenue for providing the vision restoration therapy as the Company's work effort is expended. NovaVision provides vision restoration therapy directly to patients. The typical vision restoration therapy consists of six modules, performed on average over 6 months in the U.S. and 10 months in Germany. A patient contract comprise set-up fees and monthly therapy fees. Set-up fees are recognized at the outset of the contract and therapy revenue is recognized ratably over the therapy period. Patient therapy is restricted to being completed by a patient within a specified time frame.

Deferred revenue results from patients paying for the therapy in advance of receiving the therapy.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

We have a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We extend credit to our customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. We generally do not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain an allowance for potential bad debts if required. We determine whether an allowance for doubtful accounts is required by evaluating specific accounts where information indicates the customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations. In these cases, we use assumptions and judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances, to record a specific allowance for those customers against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount expected to be collected. These specific allowances are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. The amounts calculated are analyzed to determine the total amount of the allowance. We may also record a general allowance as necessary. Direct write-offs are taken in the period when we have exhausted our efforts to collect overdue and unpaid receivables or otherwise evaluate other circumstances that indicate that we should abandon such efforts.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the weighted average cost method, and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose of the product.

If the Company identifies excess, obsolete or unsalable items, its inventories are written down to their realizable value in the period in which the impairment is first identified. Shipping and handling costs incurred for inventory purchases and product shipments are recorded in cost of sales in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Foreign Currency

The Euro is the local currency of the country in which NovaVision GmbH conducts its operations and is considered the functional currency of this entity; the GB Pound is the local currency of the country in which Sight Science Limited conducts its operations and is considered the functional currency of this entity. All balance sheet amounts are translated to U.S. dollars using the U.S.

exchange rate at the balance sheet date except for the equity section which is translated at historical rates. Operating statement amounts are translated using an average exchange rate for the period of operations. Foreign currency translation effects are accumulated as part of the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and included in shareholders' (deficit) in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Educational marketing and advertising expenses

The Company may incur costs for the education of customers on the uses and benefits of its products. The Company will include education, marketing and advertising expense as a component of selling, general and administrative costs as such costs are incurred.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:


	•			Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
	•			Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
	•			Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

As of March 31, 2013, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.

The matter involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be a material weakness under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board was the lack of a functioning Audit Committee, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our management in connection with the review of our financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Management believes that the material weakness set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures,

which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods. Effective April 30, 2013, the Company formed an Audit Committee, comprising two independent directors (one of whom qualifies as a 'Financial Expert') and one management director, and adopted an Audit Committee Charter.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only the management's report in this annual report.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls

There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The Company's management, including the Company's President and CFO, does not expect that the Company's internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject from time to time to litigation, claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. As of May 10, 2013, we were not a party to any material litigation, claim or suit whose outcome could have a material effect on our financial statements other than the following:

On July 20, 2012, the Company filed Action #13 148 01633 12 with the American Arbitration Association entitled Vycor Medical, Inc. (Claimant) against Greenbridge Capital Partners IV, LLC, Partizipant, LLC, and Joseph D. Kowal (Respondents) (the "Action"). The Action is based on breach of contract and fraud and seeks recovery of 34,445 shares of Company Common Stock previously issued to Greenbridge Capital Partners IV, LLC and recovery of at least $357,000 paid to Partizipant, LLC (including amounts paid to third parties at Partizipant's direction), together with recovery of fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Action. The arbitrator has ruled that he will not entertain the action against Joseph D. Kowal in the arbitration and the Company is considering pursuing an action against Mr. Kowal in California state court. The arbitration is currently in the discovery stage and a hearing is set for September 2013. In March 2013 Greenbridge returned to us all of the 34,445 shares being sought by the Company. At this time, the Company cannot project whether it will achieve a successful result in connection with the remainder of the Action or any other related actions. For the avoidance of doubt, this is an action by the Company against the Respondents and there is no action against the Company.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

As a "smaller reporting company" as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.
