NOTE 1: | ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
OmniComm Systems, Inc. (“OmniComm” or the “Company”) is a healthcare technology company that provides Web-based electronic data capture (“EDC”) solutions and related value-added services to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, clinical research organizations, and other clinical trial sponsors principally located in the United States and Europe. Our proprietary EDC software applications; TrialMaster®; TrialOne®; and eClinical Suite, allow clinical trial sponsors and investigative sites to securely collect, validate, transmit, and analyze clinical trial data.
Our ability to compete within the EDC industry is predicated on our ability to continue enhancing and broadening the scope of solutions offered through our EDC software and services. Our research and development (sometimes referred to as “R & D”) efforts are focused on developing new, complementary software solutions, as well as enhancing our existing software solutions through the addition of increased functionality. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 we spent approximately $1,894,690 and $2,779,262, respectively, on research and development activities, which is primarily comprised of salaries to our developers and other R & D personnel and related costs associated with the development of our software products.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The Company’s accounts include those of all its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are more fully described in the Company’ Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and have been prepared in conformity with (i) accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and (ii) the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.
UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The results for the periods indicated are unaudited, but reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring adjustments) which management considers necessary for a fair presentation of operating results.
The operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year-ended December 31, 2011. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2010.
ESTIMATES IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes thereto. Significant estimates incorporated in our financial statements include the recorded allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimate of the appropriate amortization period of our intangible assets, the evaluation of whether our intangible assets have suffered any impairment, the allocation of revenues under multiple-element customer contracts, royalty-based patent liabilities and the value of derivatives associated with debt issued by the Company and the valuation of any corresponding discount to the issuance of our debt. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2010 financial statements to conform to the 2011 presentation. These reclassifications did not have any effect on our net loss or shareholders’ deficit.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated in accordance with ASC 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters—Translation of Financial Statements. The reporting currency for the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currencies of the Company’s subsidiaries, OmniComm Europe GmbH and OmniComm Ltd., in Germany and the United Kingdom, are the Euro and British Pound Sterling, respectively. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date. Revenue and expense accounts of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated using an average rate of exchange during the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are primarily related to intercompany accounts that have been determined to be temporary in nature and accordingly, are recorded directly to the statement of operations. We record translation gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ equity. We recorded a translation loss of $22,790 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 and a translation gain of $1,945 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010.
REVENUE RECOGNITION POLICY
The Company derives revenues from software licenses and services of its EDC products and services which can be purchased on a stand-alone basis. License revenues are derived principally from the sale of term licenses for the following software products offered by the Company: TrialMaster, TrialOne and eClinical Suite (the “EDC Software”). Service revenues are derived principally from the Company's delivery of the hosted solutions of its TrialMaster and eClinical Suite software products, and consulting services and customer support, including training, for all of the Company's products.
The Company recognizes revenues when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the product or service has been provided to the customer; (3) the collection of fees is probable; and (4) the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable.
The Company operates in one reportable segment which is the delivery of EDC Software and services to clinical trial sponsors. The Company segregates its revenues based on the activity cycle used to generate its revenues. Accordingly, revenues are currently generated through four main activities. These activities include hosted applications, licensing, professional services and maintenance.
Hosted Application Revenues
The Company offers its TrialMaster and eClinical Suite software products as hosted application solutions delivered through a standard Web-browser, with customer support and training services. The Company's TrialOne solution is presently available only on a licensed basis. To date, hosted solutions have been related primarily to TrialMaster.
Revenues resulting from TrialMaster and eClinical Suite application hosting services consist of three components of services for each clinical trial: the first component is comprised of application set up, including design of electronic case report forms and edit checks, installation and server configuration of the system. The second component involves application hosting and related support services as well as billing change orders which consist of amounts billed to customers for functionality changes made and the third stage involves services required to close out, or lock, the database for the clinical trial.
OMNICOMM SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
Fees charged and costs incurred for the trial system design, set up and implementation are amortized and recognized ratably over the estimated hosting period. Work performed outside the original scope of work is contracted for separately as an additional fee and is generally recognized ratably over the remaining term of the hosting period. Fees for the first and third stages of the service are billed based upon milestones. Revenues earned upon completion of a contractual milestone are deferred and recognized over the estimated remaining hosting period. Fees for application hosting and related services in the second stage are generally billed quarterly in advance. Revenues resulting from hosting services for the eClinical Suite products consist of installation and server configuration, application hosting and related support services. Services for this offering are generally charged as a fixed fee payable on a quarterly or annual basis. Revenues are recognized ratably over the period of the service.
Licensing Revenues
The Company's software license revenues are earned from the sale of off-the-shelf software. From time-to-time a client might require significant modification or customization subsequent to delivery to the customer. The Company generally enters into software term licenses for its EDC Software products with its customers for 3 to 5 year periods, although customers have entered into both longer and shorter term license agreements. These arrangements typically include multiple elements: software license, consulting services and customer support. The Company bills its customers in accordance with the terms of the underlying contract. Generally, the Company bills license fees in advance for each billing cycle of the license term which typically is either on a quarterly or annual basis. Payment terms are generally net 30 days.
In the past the Company has sold perpetual licenses for EDC Software products in certain situations to existing customers with the option to purchase customer support, and may in the future do so for new customers based on customer requirements or market conditions. The Company has established vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for the customer support. Accordingly, license revenues are recognized upon delivery of the software and when all other revenue recognition criteria are met. Customer support revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the underlying support arrangement. The Company generates customer support and maintenance revenues from its perpetual license customer base.
Maintenance Revenues
Maintenance includes telephone-based help desk support and software maintenance. The Company generally bundles customer support with the software license for the entire term of the arrangement. As a result, the Company generally recognizes revenues for both maintenance and software licenses ratably over the term of the software license and support arrangement. The Company allocates the revenues recognized for these arrangements to the different elements based on management's estimate of the relative fair value of each element. The Company generally invoices each of the elements based on separately quoted amounts and thus has a fairly accurate estimate of the relative fair values of each of the invoiced revenue elements.
Professional Services
The Company may also enter into arrangements to provide consulting services separate from a license arrangement. In these situations, revenue is recognized on a time-and-materials basis. Professional services can be deemed to be as essential to the functionality of the software at inception and typically are for initial trial configuration, implementation planning, loading of software, building simple interfaces and running test data and documentation of procedures. Subsequent additions or extensions to license terms do not generally include additional professional services.

Totals | | $ | 10,003,503 | | | $ | 9,076,158 | |
COST OF REVENUES
Cost of revenues primarily consists of costs related to hosting, maintaining and supporting the Company’s application suite and delivering professional services and support. These costs include salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation for the Company’s professional services staffs. Cost of revenues also includes outside service provider costs, data center and networking expenses, and allocated overhead. These costs are expensed as incurred.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid, short-term investments with maturities of 90 days or less. The carrying amount reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are judged as to collectability by management and an allowance for bad debts is established as necessary. The allowance is based on an evaluation of the collectibility of accounts receivable and prior bad debt experience. The Company had recorded an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable of $269,569 and $269,869 as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
The following table summarizes activity in the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts for the years presented.

End of period | | $ | 269,869 | | | $ | 269,869 | |
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are deposited with major financial institutions and, at times, such balances with any one financial institution may be in excess of FDIC-insured limits. As of September 30, 2011, there were no balances of cash and cash equivalents which were deposited in excess of FDIC-insured limits.
Except as follows, the Company has no significant off-balance-sheet risk or credit risk concentrations. Financial instruments that subject the Company to potential credit risks are principally cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Concentrated credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited to creditworthy customers. The Company's customers are principally located in the United States and Europe. The Company is directly affected by the overall financial condition of the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries and management believes that credit risk exists and that any credit risk the Company faces has been adequately reserved for as of September 30, 2011. Prior to 2008 the Company had not historically experienced significant losses related to receivables from individual customers or groups of customers in any specific industry or geographic area. During the second half of fiscal 2008 and continuing during 2009, the biotechnology industry experienced liquidity and funding difficulties. Several of the Company’s clients operate in this segment. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on accounts past due according to contractual terms and historical collection experience. Actual losses when incurred are charged to the allowance. The Company's losses related to collection of accounts receivable prior to fiscal 2008 were consistently within management's expectations. The overall downturn in the Global economy impacted several of the Company’s clients beginning in late 2008. During 2011 the Company has seen increased activity in the biotechnology sector and believes that some of the credit and financial constraints that were limiting R & D activity have begun to decrease. Due to these factors, the Company believes no additional credit risk beyond the amounts provided for in our allowance for uncollectible accounts, which the Company reevaluates on a monthly basis based on specific review of receivable agings and the period that any receivables are beyond the standard payment terms, is believed by management to be probable in the Company's accounts receivable. The Company does not require collateral from its customers in order to mitigate credit risk.

The Company serves all of its hosting customers from third-party web hosting facilities located in the United States. The Company does not control the operation of these facilities, and they are vulnerable to damage or interruption. The Company maintains redundant systems that can be used to provide service in the event the third-party web hosting facilities become unavailable, although in such circumstances, the Company's service may be interrupted during the transition.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Additions and betterments are capitalized; maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life, which is 5 years for leasehold improvements, computers, equipment and furniture and 3 years for software. Gains or losses on disposal are charged to operations.
OMNICOMM SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
ASSET IMPAIRMENT
Acquisitions and Intangible Assets
We account for acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and ASC 350, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). The acquisition method of accounting requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their fair values on the date of a business acquisition. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and results of operations reflect an acquired business from the completion date of an acquisition.
The judgments that we make in determining the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially impact net income in periods following an asset acquisition. We generally use either the income, cost or market approach to aid in our conclusions of such fair values and asset lives. The income approach presumes that the value of an asset can be estimated by the net economic benefit to be received over the life of the asset, discounted to present value. The cost approach presumes that an investor would pay no more for an asset than its replacement or reproduction cost. The market approach estimates value based on what other participants in the market have paid for reasonably similar assets. Although each valuation approach is considered in valuing the assets acquired, the approach ultimately selected is based on the characteristics of the asset and the availability of information.
Long-lived Assets
We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Determining whether an impairment has occurred typically requires various estimates and assumptions, including determining which cash flows are directly related to the potentially impaired asset, the useful life over which cash flows will occur, their amount and the asset’s residual value, if any. In turn, measurement of an impairment loss requires a determination of fair value, which is based on the best information available. We use quoted market prices when available and independent appraisals and management estimates of future operating cash flows, as appropriate, to determine fair value.
DEFERRED REVENUE
Deferred revenue represents cash advances received in excess of revenue earned on on-going contracts. Payment terms vary with each contract but may include an initial payment at the time the contract is executed, with future payments dependent upon the completion of certain contract phases or targeted milestones. In the event of contract cancellation, the Company is generally entitled to payment for all work performed through the point of cancellation. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had $3,772,388 in deferred revenues relating to contracts for services to be performed over periods ranging from 1 month to 5 years. The Company had $3,231,286 in deferred revenues that are expected to be recognized in the next twelve months.
ADVERTISING
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $203,655 and $184,360 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively and are included under selling, general and administrative expenses on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
OMNICOMM SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Software development costs are included in research and development and are expensed as incurred. ASC 985.20, Software Industry Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased or Marketed, requires the capitalization of certain development costs of software to be sold once technological feasibility is established, which the Company defines as completion to the point of marketability. The capitalized cost is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated product life. To date, the period between achieving technological feasibility and the general availability of such software has been short and software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been immaterial. Accordingly, the Company has not capitalized any software development costs under ASC 985.20. During the nine month ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 we spent approximately $1,894,690 and $2,779,262 respectively, on research and development activities, which include costs associated with the development of our software products and services for our client’s projects and which are primarily comprised of salaries and related expenses for our software developers and consulting fees paid to third-party consultants. Research and development costs are primarily included under Salaries, benefits and related taxes in our Statement of Operations.
EMPLOYEE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS
The OmniComm Systems, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) was approved at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders on July 10, 2009. The 2009 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 7.5 million shares to employees, directors and key consultants in accordance with the terms of the 2009 Plan documents. The predecessor plan, the OmniComm Systems, Inc., 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1998 Plan”) expired on December 31, 2008. The 1998 Plan provided for the issuance of up to 12.5 million shares in accordance with the terms of the 1998 Plan document. Each plan is more fully described in “Note 13, Employee Equity Incentive Plans.” The Company accounts for its employee equity incentive plans under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.
ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company currently uses the American Binomial option pricing model to determine grant date fair value.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company accounts for Earnings Per Share using ASC 260 – Earnings per Share. Unlike diluted earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance ASC 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 has as its basic objective the recognition of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities based upon all events that have been recognized in the financial statements as measured by the provisions of the enacted tax laws.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the estimated amount to be realized. Income tax expense represents the tax payable for the current period and the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.
IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
During fiscal 2011, we adopted the following new accounting pronouncements:
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations.” This update changes the disclosure of pro forma information for business combinations. These changes clarify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. Also, the existing supplemental pro forma disclosures were expanded to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. These changes became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011. The Company’s adoption of this update did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
OMNICOMM SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “Intangible –Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts.” This update requires an entity to perform all steps in the test for a reporting unit whose carrying value is zero or negative if it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that a goodwill impairment exists based on qualitative factors, resulting in the elimination of an entity’s ability to assert that such a reporting unit’s goodwill is not impaired and additional testing is not necessary despite the existence of qualitative factors that indicate otherwise. These changes became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”), which clarifies the wording and disclosures required in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), to converge with those used (to be used) in International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The update explains how to measure and disclose fair value under ASC 820. However, the FASB does not expect the changes in this standards update to alter the current application of the requirements in ASC 820. The provisions of ASU 2011-04 are effective for public entities prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is prohibited. Therefore, ASU 2011-04 is effective for the Company during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company does not expect ASU 2011-04 to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 requires the presentation of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for the Company’s quarter ending June 30, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, but will require a change in the presentation of the Company’s comprehensive income from the notes of the condensed consolidated financial statements, where it is currently disclosed, to the face of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, (“ASU 2011-08”), which amends the guidance in ASC 350-20, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other – Goodwill. Under ASU 2011-08, entities have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit when testing goodwill for impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined, based on qualitative factors, to be more likely than not less than the carrying amount of the reporting unit, then entities are required to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting standards-setting organizations frequently issue new or revised accounting rules. We regularly review all new pronouncements that have been issued since the filing of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 to determine their impact, if any, on our financial statements.
NOTE 3: GOING CONCERN
We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations and have funded our activities to-date primarily from debt and equity financings. We will continue to require substantial funds to continue our research and development activities and to market, sell and commercialize our technology. We may need to raise substantial additional capital to fund our future operations. Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the problems, delays, expenses and complications frequently encountered by companies developing and commercializing new technologies; the progress of our research and development activities; the rate of technological advances; determinations as to the commercial potential of our technology under development; the status of competitive technology; the establishment of collaborative relationships; the success of our sales and marketing programs; and other changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions in our planned business.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
Estimates about the adequacy of funding for our activities are based upon certain assumptions, including assumptions that the research and development programs relating to our technology can be conducted at projected costs and that progress towards the commercialization of our technology will be timely and successful. There can be no assurance that changes in our research and development plans, acquisitions or other events will not result in accelerated or unexpected expenditures.
To satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek additional financing through debt and equity financings. There can be no assurance that any such funding will be available to us on favorable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available when needed, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our research and product development and marketing programs. If we are successful in obtaining additional financings, the terms of such financings may have the effect of diluting or adversely affecting the holdings or the rights of the holders of our common and preferred stock or result in increased interest expense in future periods.
The ability of the Company to continue in existence is dependent on its having sufficient financial resources to bring products and services to market for marketplace acceptance. As a result of our historical operating losses, negative cash flows and accumulated deficits for the period ending September 30, 2011 there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

On March 31, 2011, the Company issued a note payable in the principal amount of $2,866,879 and warrants to purchase 11,467,517 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 per share with an expiration date of March 31, 2016 to our Chief Executive Officer, Cornelis F. Wit. The note accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum and has a maturity date of April 1, 2014. This issuance caused us to calculate and record a derivative liability for the warrant liability. The warrants were valued using a Binomial option pricing model. A value of $1,178,861 was calculated and allocated to the warrants and recorded as a liability to the issuance of the note payable. As a result of the recorded discount, the carrying amount of the note at September 30, 2011 was $1,688,018. The warrant liability (discount) will be amortized over the 36 month duration of the note payable. The Company will continue to perform a fair value calculation periodically on the warrant liability and accordingly the warrant liability is increased or decreased based on the fair value calculation. The resulting increase or decrease is reflected in operations as an unrealized gain or loss on changes in derivative liabilities.
On May 13, 2011, the Company issued a note payable in the principal amount of $96,000 to our Chief Executive Officer, Cornelis F. Wit. The note accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum and has a maturity date of January 1, 2013.
On September 2, 2011, the Company issued a note payable in the principal amount of $50,000 to our Chief Executive Officer, Cornelis F. Wit. The note bore interest at a rate of 12% per annum and had a maturity date of January 1, 2013. This note was repaid in full on September 7, 2011.
On September 30, 2011, the Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $342,000 to our Chief Executive Officer, Cornelis F. Wit. The note carries an interest rate of 12% per annum and is due on April 1, 2014. The promissory note consolidates the principal amounts owed under the following promissory notes originally issued during 2011.
i. Promissory Note issued on August 16, 2011 for $80,000.00 with a maturity date of January 01, 2013.

NOTE 10: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Company measures the fair value of its assets and liabilities under the guidance of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but its provisions apply to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurement.
ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC 820 requires the Company to use valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows:
OMNICOMM SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
| · | Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; |
| · | Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market-corroborated inputs; and |
| · | Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets or liabilities. |
The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
| A. | Market approach - Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities |
| B. | Income approach - Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts, including present value techniques, option-pricing models and excess earnings method |
| C. | Cost approach - Based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost) |
The Company also adopted the provisions of ASC 825, Financial Instruments. ASC 825 allows companies to choose to measure eligible assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in value recognized in earnings. Fair value treatment may be elected either upon initial recognition of an eligible asset or liability or, for an existing asset or liability, if an event triggers a new basis of accounting. The Company did not elect to re-measure any of its existing financial assets or liabilities under the provisions of this Statement and did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets and liabilities transacted in the year-ended December 31, 2010 and the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
The Company’s financial assets or liabilities subject to ASC 820 as of September 30, 2011 include the conversion feature and warrant liability associated with convertible debentures issued during fiscal 2008 and 2009. The conversion feature and warrants were deemed to be derivatives (the “Derivative Instruments”) since a fixed conversion price cannot be determined for either of the Derivative Instruments due to anti-dilution provisions embedded in the offering documents for the convertible debentures. The derivative instruments were not issued for risk management purposes and as such are not designated as hedging instruments under the provisions of ASC 815 Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. See Note 9 – Convertible Notes Payable.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used to determine the fair value of the Company’s financial assets including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
A summary of the fair value of liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows: | |

Basis for Fair Value Estimate of Share-Based Payments
Based on analysis of its historical volatility, the Company expects that the future volatility of its share price is likely to be similar to the historical volatility the Company experienced since the Company’s commercialization activities were initiated during the second half of 2000. The Company used a volatility calculation utilizing the Company’s own historical volatility to estimate its future volatility for purposes of valuing the share-based payments granted during fiscal 2011 and 2010. Actual volatility, and future changes in estimated volatility, may differ substantially from the Company’s current estimates.
The Company utilizes the historical data available regarding employee and director exercise activity to calculate an expected life of the options. The table below presents the weighted average expected life in years of options granted under the Plan as described above. The risk-free rate of the stock options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant, which corresponds with the expected term of the option granted.
The fair value of share-based payments was estimated using the American Binomial option pricing model with the following assumptions for grants made during the periods indicated.
| | Stock Option Assumptions for the nine months ended | |
| | September 30, 2011 | | | September 30, 2010 | |

Expected life of options (in years) | | | 5.0 | | | | 5.0 | |
The following table summarizes weighted average grant date fair value activity for the Company incentive stock plans:

A summary of the status of the Company’s non-vested shares underlying stock options as of September 30, 2011, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is as follows:

Overview
We are a healthcare technology company that provides Web-based electronic data capture (“EDC”) solutions and related value-added services to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, clinical research organizations and other clinical trial sponsors worldwide. Our proprietary EDC software applications: TrialMaster®; TrialOne®; and eClinical Suite™ (the “eClinical Software Products”), allow clinical trial sponsors and investigative sites to securely collect, validate, transmit and analyze clinical trial data.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2011 we sought to build and expand on our strategic efforts. The primary focus of our strategy includes:
● | Stimulating demand by providing clinical trial sponsors with high value eClinical applications and services; |
● | Emphasizing low operating costs; |
● | Continued emphasis on expanding our business model by offering our software solutions on a licensed basis in addition to our existing hosted-services solutions; |
● | Broadening our eClinical suite of services and software applications on an organic R & D basis and on a selective basis via partnerships with providers of complementary eClinical software and service solutions; |
● | An emphasis on penetrating the Phase I trial market with our dedicated Phase I solution, TrialOne; |
● | Expanding our business development efforts in Europe to capitalize on our operational and clinical capabilities vis-à-vis our competition in that geographic market; |
● | Providing our services to small and midsize pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device companies and CROs; and |
● | Expanding our penetration of the large pharmaceutical sponsor market by leveraging the client contracts we assumed from our 2009 acquisitions. |
Our operating focus is first, to increase our sales and marketing capabilities and penetration rate and secondly, to continue developing and improving our software solutions and services to ensure our services and products remain an attractive, high-value EDC choice. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we increased our marketing and sales personnel both in the U.S. and European markets. We continue to seek new opportunities in our CRO Preferred Program in order to increase our penetration of the domestic CRO market. The CRO Preferred Program offers fixed pricing and pay-as-you-go hosted services. Additionally, we believe we have improved our sales and marketing presence in the European clinical trial market by expanding the number of clients we service in the European market after the acquisition of the EDC assets of eResearch Technology, Inc., (“eRT” or “eResearch Technologies”). We will seek to continue to aggressively expand the scope of our sales and marketing operations in Europe during the remainder of fiscal 2011 and during fiscal 2012.
Our ability to compete within the EDC and eClinical industries is predicated on our success in enhancing and broadening the scope of software and service solutions we offer. Our R & D efforts are focused on developing new, complementary software products and related services, as well as the continued development of our existing software solutions through the addition of increased functionality. We spent approximately $1,894,690 and $2,779,262 on R & D activities during nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The decrease in R & D expenditure is due in large part to a migration of a portion of our R & D employees to Cost of Goods sold and other departments as our core product matures. The majority of our R & D expenses represent salaries and related expenses for our developers. In addition, we decreased our overall R & D personnel by about 20% during fiscal 2010 in an effort to more closely align our cost structure with expected revenues.
Our selling efforts include marketing our products to several Fortune 1000 pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers and several of the largest CROs. We have experienced, both via organic growth and through our 2009 acquisitions, success in broadening our client roster over the past several years. Continued success in broadening our existing client relationships and forging new relationships should provide us the opportunity to limit our need for funding our operations via debt and equity capital. Continuing to obtain contracts with clients of this size and reputation will also increase the credibility of the Company to the clinical trial market.
Our business development focus continues to include increasing our penetration of all phases of the clinical trial market with a continued emphasis on becoming the market leader in Phase I EDC services. We believe this market is an operating and strategic strength of the Company due to the inherent flexibility of our solutions including the solutions provided by our TrialOne products and services. We believe we have the ability to produce trials more quickly and economically than our competitors for this specialized and large market. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we emphasized commercializing our products on a licensed basis. During 2011 we have been able to increase the scope of licenses existing clients had deployed in our eClinical Suite and TrialMaster product lines. We found that the sale of licenses of our eClinical Software Products to new clients was somewhat hampered by what we perceived as a sluggish market for R & D spending. We expect to experience increased success in penetrating the market for larger pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device clinical trial sponsors as we continue expanding our marketing and sales efforts during the remainder of fiscal 2011.
Our clients are able to partially or completely license our EDC solutions. The licensing business model provides our clients a more cost effective means of deploying our EDC solutions on a large-scale basis. Our licensed products, falling under the auspices of either a Tech Transition (partial transfer with some services performed by OmniComm) or Tech Transfer, allow us to broaden our potential client base, provide us with a high-margin revenue source and affords us the ability to improve our competitive position within the EDC industry. The acquisitions completed during fiscal 2009 (the eResearch EDC Assets and TrialOne) have historically been sold on a licensed basis and have allowed us to broaden our base of licensed customers. Additionally, we continue to focus on adding CROs as strategic and marketing partners. There is an industry-wide emphasis in establishing strategic relationships with CROs. These relationships provide marketing leverage in the form of joint marketing and sales efforts and provide an installed base of trained users for our EDC and eClinical Suite software applications. This installed base of users increases our ability to provide rapidly developed, cost effective solutions for our clients. Additionally, we believe we have established an effective presence in the European clinical trial market and will seek to aggressively expand the scope of our sales and marketing operations there. The European market accounted for approximately 18% and 14% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.
We feel that the momentum established from new client acquisitions and our ability to retain clients for repeat engagements provide a good operating base from which to build our sales and marketing efforts. We have increased the marketing and business development budget for our TrialOne product during 2011 as we have placed increased emphasis on increasing our penetration of the Phase I market both in the U.S. and in Europe since we believe that segment of the EDC market is the least penetrated and allows for the greatest potential increases in market share and in sales volumes. A critical aspect of our strategy is a concerted effort at increasing both the level and effectiveness of resources deployed in our sales and marketing efforts. We feel that the combination of our existing infrastructure, broadened array of eClinical products and services and increased success in new client acquisition, coupled with our ability to retain our existing clients will allow us to compete effectively within the EDC market.

Revenues from TrialMaster software and services fees increased by $1,229,432 or 24.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 when compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. During 2009 and 2010 our primary customer base which consisted primarily of small, U.S.-based biotechnology firms, dramatically reduced the level of clinical trials they were conducting. Many of these firms are pre-revenue and are reliant on the capital markets for working capital and R & D funding. With the difficult economic climate experienced since 2008 many of these firms either reduced or completely curtailed their R & D activities either because of a lack of capital or in order to conserve their cash reserves. We have seen some evidence during 2011 of increased activity from these clients but have not seen a complete recovery of this market segment’s R & D spending. In addition, we have placed an emphasis on increasing the number of customers licensing the TrialMaster software suite. The licensing business model allows for more regular revenue recognition and operating cash flows, greater visibility into our operating results and has the potential, in the long-run, for stronger gross margins since the manpower requirements are smaller than under an ASP model thus producing less cost of goods sold.
We recorded $1,083,753 in revenues from our licensing activity and $208,774 from professional services associated with our TrialMaster suite during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with $650,935 and $181,334, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
We expect revenues from both activities to increase during the next twelve months for several reasons. First, we see significant activity in the CRO market relating to infrastructure investing and second, as customers increase their use of eClinical solutions they tend to standardize their data collection practices. It is significantly more cost effective to deploy eClinical software on a licensed basis. The ability to undertake this kind of operational change is however predicated on having the network and technical infrastructure needed to replicate most of the services, support and infrastructure we provide on an ASP basis.
We recorded $2,740,332 in revenues associated with clients with our acquisition of the eResearch Technology eClinical Suite software application during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with $3,911,453 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $1,171,121, or 29.9%. eClinical Suite revenues are primarily comprised of license subscriptions and revenues associated with our hosting and maintenance services. During fiscal 2010 we experienced significant license renewals/additions for this product. Because of the long-term nature of many of these relationships many of the license purchases were one-time purchases aimed at increasing the total number of licenses available for use. During 2010 we experienced some client attrition associated with the general slowdown in the economy and the resulting difficult capital environment that has existed for smaller biotech and other clinical research organizations.
We recorded $452,247 in revenues from hosting and subscriptions activities and $166,833 in consulting services associated with the eClinical Suite during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with $583,262 and $384,807, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Generally, these revenues are paid monthly and are connected to hosting, maintenance and client support for clients licensing that application. Maintenance revenues were $1,623,964 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 compared to $2,273,507 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $649,543 or 28.6%. The decrease can be attributed to significant one-time payments incurred during fiscal 2010 coupled with the loss of several clients due to a reduction by those clients in their R & D spending during late 2009 and during fiscal 2010 primarily.
We recorded $855,924 in revenues associated with clients on our TrialOne EDC software and other Phase I EDC products and services for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with $116,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We have begun increasing our efforts at commercializing and developing our sales and marketing campaign for the TrialOne application. We have significantly increased our participation in industry trade shows and conferences and are in the process of developing a dedicated sales force for the TrialOne software. TrialOne revenues are comprised of license subscriptions, maintenance services and professional services since the software is currently only sold under a technology transfer basis. We recorded $521,970 from one client during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 61.0% of revenues for this product line.
Our TrialMaster EDC application has historically been sold on an ASP basis that provides EDC and other services such as an enterprise management suite which assists our clients in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries in accelerating the completion of clinical trials. During 2009, as discussed earlier, we completed the acquisition of the eResearch EDC Assets and TrialOne. Both software applications have historically been sold on a licensed or technology transfer basis. As we continue developing our software applications and our client relationships mature, we expect some of our clients to deploy TrialMaster on a licensed, rather than ASP hosted basis. We expect both the eResearch EDC Assets and TrialOne applications to continue to be sold primarily on a licensed basis.
TrialMaster contracts for ASP services provide for pricing that is based on both the size and duration of the clinical trial. Size parameters include the number of case report forms used to collect data and the number of sites utilizing TrialMaster. The client will pay a trial setup fee based on the previously mentioned factors at the beginning of our engagements and then pay an on-going maintenance fee for the duration of the clinical trial that provides software, network and site support during the trial.
Generally, ASP contracts will range in duration from one month to several years. ASP Setup fees are generally recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 605 (“ASC 605”) “Revenue Recognition”, which requires that the revenues be recognized ratably over the life of the contract. ASP maintenance fee revenues are earned and recognized monthly. Costs associated with contract revenues are recognized as incurred.
Software license contracts are typically sold on a subscription basis that takes into account system usage both on a data volume and system user basis. Pricing includes additional charges for consulting services associated with the installation, validation, training and deployment of our software and solutions. Licensed contracts of the eClinical Suite have historically been sold on a perpetual license basis with hosting and maintenance charges being paid annually. The Company expects any licenses it sells of its software products to be sold under term licenses with durations of three to five years.
Our top five customers accounted for approximately 40.6% of our revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with approximately 38.9% of our revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. One customer accounted for 20.9% of our revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. One customer accounted for 21.0% of our revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The loss of any of these contracts or these customers in the future could adversely affect our results of operations.
Cost of goods sold increased approximately 16.8% or $216,125 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Cost of goods sold were approximately 15.0% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to approximately 14.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Cost of goods sold relates primarily to salaries and related benefits associated with the programmers, developers and systems analysts producing clinical trials on behalf of our clients. The increase in cost of goods sold is primarily attributable to the increase in the number of employees in our cost of goods sold functions. Although our experience to-date in licensing and deploying TrialMaster on a technology transfer or licensed basis has been limited, we expect our cost of goods sold related to these types of engagements to approximate 20% of revenues associated with those engagements.
We expect to increase development programming and support labor costs on an absolute basis as our trial revenues increase. We expect our cost of goods sold to remain fairly stable as we continue to expand the number of licenses we deploy and service since we expect cost of sales from licensed engagements to fall in the 15 to 20% range as that business model matures. We expect to continue to increase follow-on engagements from existing clients and expect to increase the Phase I and CRO portions of our client base. TrialMaster (V4.0) increased the efficiency of our trial building operations by approximately 20% through the use of additional automated tools, the ability to use our library of pre-existing CRFs and through the use of our “drag and drop” clinical trial building tool. We have begun our business development efforts in commercializing TrialOne. Our TrialOne application will be sold on a licensed basis providing further basis to our cost of goods sold estimates. At least initially, we expect the costs to deploy TrialOne to exceed our long-term cost of goods sold estimates as we develop and refine our installation, validation and training procedures.
Overall, total operating expenses decreased approximately 21.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Total operating expenses were approximately 90.8% of revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to approximately 127.3% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Salaries and related expenses were our biggest operating expense at 66.2% of total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 68.5% of total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Salaries and related expenses decreased approximately 24.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 when compared to the same period that ended September 30, 2010. During the second half of fiscal 2010 we reduced our overall staffing levels by approximately 20% in an effort at matching our staffing levels and total compensation costs more closely with our present and expected revenues and operating activities. The table below provides a summary of the significant components of salary and related expenses by primary cost category.

We currently employ approximately 48 employees out of our Florida corporate office, eight employees out of our New Jersey field office, 11 out-of-state employees, six employees out of a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom and 13 employees out of a wholly-owned subsidiary in Germany. We expect to continue to selectively add experienced sales and marketing personnel over the next nine months in an effort to increase our market penetration, particularly as it relates to the largest pharmaceutical, biotechnology and CRO customers and to continue broadening our client base domestically as well as in Europe.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the nine months ended September 30, 2010 we incurred $111,548 and $466,196, respectively, in salary expense in connection with ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, which establishes standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for employee services. This standard requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
Rent and related expenses decreased by approximately 2.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Deducted from rent during 2011 was $14,948 in non-cash, straight-line rent expense recorded to give effect to contractual, inflation-based rent increases in our leases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 we recorded $48,131 in straight line rent expense resulting in a decrease from our 2010 recognized expense of $63,079 or 131.1% for straight line rent expense. The decrease in straight line rent is the primary cause for the decrease in rent during the period ended September 30, 2011. We incurred a rate increase on our office in the United Kingdom. This resulted in an increase in rent expense of $16,415 or 31.1%. During late 2010 we increased our office space at our corporate headquarters to accommodate the space needs associated with our three year strategic plan. The increased square footage resulted in an increase in rent expense of $31,996 or 15.1%. Our primary data site is located at a Cincinnati Bell owned co-location facility in Cincinnati, Ohio. We will continue utilizing this facility for the foreseeable future since it is designed to ensure 100% production system up-time and to provide system redundancy. We lease co-location and disaster recovery space in the Ft. Lauderdale, Florida area. This facility provides us with disaster recovery and business continuity services for our operations. This lease expires in August 2012. We currently lease office space in Bonn, Germany for our European subsidiary, OmniComm Europe, GmbH. During fiscal 2011 we diminished our total office in our German subsidiary. That lease expires in December 2012. We entered into a lease for office space in New Jersey in order to integrate our acquisition of the eResearch EDC Assets during fiscal 2009. That office lease expires in February 2013. Our OmniComm Ltd. subsidiary entered into a lease for office space during fiscal 2009. That office lease expires in October 2012. During September 2010 we renewed our corporate office lease. That lease now extends through September 2016. The table below provides the significant components of our rent related expenses by location, subsidiary or operating activity.

Consulting services expense decreased to $230,630 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with $404,848 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $174,218 or 43.0%. Consulting services were comprised of fees paid to consultants for help with developing our computer applications, fees incurred as part of our employee recruiting programs and for services related to our sales and marketing efforts. The Company has decreased its use of outside sales and marketing consultants in Europe partly as a result of general cost cutting efforts during fiscal 2010. In addition, we decreased employee recruitment spending by bringing most of those efforts in-house. The table provided below provides the significant components of the expenses incurred related to consulting services.

Legal and professional fees increased approximately 13.7% or $35,970 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Professional fees include fees paid to our auditors for services rendered on a quarterly and annual basis in connection with our SEC filings and fees paid to our attorneys in connection with representation in matters involving litigation and acquisitions or for services rendered to us related to securities and SEC filings and related matters. The increase can be attributed to additional amounts spent on consolidating our information systems on the NetSuite ERP application, $15,653 in additional expense recorded on audit fees and an increase of $ 50,563 in legal fees incurred on employee and human resources related matters. During 2011 we decreased our spending on financial advisory services which included investor relations and general corporate finance advisory services. The table below compares the significant components of our legal and professional fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SGA”) decreased approximately 30.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we recorded $110,519 in license fees associated with our license agreement with DataSci, LLC compared to $207,121 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We recorded license fees totaling $10,514 relating to a license agreement with Logos Holdings, Ltd. relating to certain clients we acquired as part of our acquisition of Logos Technologies, Ltd. in August 2009. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 we accrued $167,661 in software licensing expense in conjunction with a software licensing matter with the Business Software Alliance related to our use of several Microsoft® software products. In addition, SGA expenses relate primarily to costs incurred in running our offices in Florida, New Jersey, England and Germany on a day-to-day basis and other costs not directly related to other captioned items in our income statement. SGA include the cost of office equipment and supplies, the costs of attending conferences and seminars and other expenses incurred in the normal course of business. The Company increased its marketing, sales and advertising expenditures by approximately 10.5% or $19,295 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Marketing and advertising expenditures relate primarily to amounts spent on our participation in industry trade shows and conferences. During the remainder of 2011, we expect the amount spent on general corporate marketing to approximate $50,000 in connection with projects related to our corporate website and in conjunction with marketing activities aimed at increasing industry awareness and as well as on marketing campaigns specific to increasing product penetration of TrialOne.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we did not incur bad debt expense compared to $13,954 incurred for bad debt expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. During 2009 and the beginning of 2010, our existing base of TrialMaster clients, which is primarily comprised of small, U.S.-based biotechnology firms, experienced significant problems in obtaining working capital and R & D funding. During 2009 and the first nine months of 2010, seven of our clients either ceased operations or severely curtailed their work with us. Since late 2010 we have seen evidence of increased activity in general and believe that our current allowance for uncollectible accounts accurately reflects any accounts which may prove uncollectible during the remainder of fiscal 2011.
Interest expense was $1,768,258 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $2,886,743 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $1,118,485. The decrease is partially due to a decrease of $1,332,804 in the amounts accreted on the discounts recorded on convertible notes originally issued in December 2008 which was offset by interest expense incurred on promissory notes. The table below provides details on the amount of discount accretion recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.

Interest incurred to related parties was $1,099,578 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $879,699 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $219,879 or 25.0%. This increase is primarily related to the issuance of $3,304,879 in promissory notes to our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Cornelis F. Wit during fiscal 2011. The table below provides detail on the significant components of interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010.

We evaluate the cost of capital available to us in combination with our overall capital structure and the prevailing market conditions in deciding what financing best fulfills our short and long-term capital needs. Given the difficult overall economic climate and in particular the difficulties nano-cap companies have experienced in obtaining financing, we believe the structure and terms of the transactions we entered into from 2008 to 2010 and during the first nine months of 2011, were obtained at the best terms available to the Company.
We recorded unrealized gains and losses related to changes in our derivative liabilities associated with the issuance of convertible notes that occurred from fiscal 2008 to 2010 and a note payable issued during fiscal 2011. We recorded a net unrealized loss of $2,041,161 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with a net unrealized gain of $4,260,594 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The recorded unrealized gains and losses can be attributed to fair value calculations undertaken periodically on the warrant and conversion feature liabilities recorded by us at the time the convertible notes were issued. Accordingly, the warrant and conversion feature liabilities are increased or decreased based on the fair value calculations made at each periodic balance sheet date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, several factors combined to produce the significant unrealized loss from derivative changes we recorded. These factors include: 1) a significant increase in the share price on the OTC Bulletin Board of our common stock during the first and second quarters of fiscal 2011; 2) a marked increase in the calculated volatility used in the valuation model used in determining the fair value of our derivative liabilities; and 3) the maturity date of two rounds of outstanding convertible notes was extended by two years. These extensions increased the fair value of the conversion feature liability underlying the convertible notes. These non-cash gains and losses have materially impacted our results of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and during fiscal our 2008 to 2010 fiscal years and can be reasonably anticipated to materially affect our net loss or net income in future periods. We are, however, unable to estimate the amount of such income/expense in future periods as the income/expense is partly based on the market price of our common stock at the end of a future measurement date. In addition, in the future if we issue securities which are classified as derivatives we will incur expense and income items in future periods. Investors are cautioned to consider the impact of this non-cash accounting treatment on our financial statements.
The Company recorded arrearages of $153,850 in its 5% Series A Preferred Stock dividends for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had cumulative arrearages for preferred stock dividends as follows:

Revenues from our TrialMaster software and service fees clients increased by $311,462 or 15.8% during the three months ended September 30, 2011 when compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2010. We recorded $382,402 in revenues from our licensing activity and $141,213 from professional services associated with our TrialMaster suite during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared with $352,511 and $83,862, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2010.
We recorded $852,197 in revenues associated with clients with our acquisition of the eResearch Technology eClinical Suite software application (“eClinical”) during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared with $1,115,706 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $263,509 or 23.6%. eClinical Suite revenues are primarily comprised of license subscriptions and revenues associated with our hosting and maintenance services. During fiscal 2010 we experienced significant license renewals/additions for this product. Because of the long-term nature of many of these relationships many of the license purchases were one-time purchases aimed at increasing the total number of licenses available for use. Maintenance revenues were $501,217 for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 compared to $672,288 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $171,071 or 25.4%. The decrease can be attributed to significant one-time payments incurred during fiscal 2010.
We recorded $128,747 in revenues associated with clients on our TrialOne EDC software and other Phase I EDC products and services for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared with $76,954 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. During 2011 we began increasing our efforts at commercializing and developing our sales and marketing campaign for the TrialOne application. We have significantly increased our participation in industry trade shows and conferences and are in the process of developing a dedicated sales force for the TrialOne software. TrialOne revenues are comprised of license subscriptions, maintenance services and professional services since the software is currently only sold under a technology transfer basis.
Our top five customers accounted for approximately 44.5% of our revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and approximately 40.6% of our revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2010. One customer accounted for 23.3% of our revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2011. One customer accounted for 19.1% of our revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2010. The loss of any of these contracts or these customers in the future could adversely affect our results of operations.
Cost of goods sold increased approximately 18.0% or $85,556 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010. Cost of goods sold were approximately 16.8% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to approximately 15.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Cost of goods sold relates primarily to salaries and related benefits associated with the programmers, developers and systems analysts producing clinical trials on behalf of our clients. The increase in cost of goods sold is primarily attributable to the increase in the number of employees in our cost of goods sold functions. Although our experience to-date in licensing and deploying TrialMaster on a technology transfer or licensed basis has been limited, we expect our cost of goods sold related to these types of engagements to approximate 20% of revenues associated with those engagements.
Overall, total operating expenses decreased approximately 25.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010. Total operating expenses were approximately 80.9% of revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to approximately 114.6% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010.
Salaries and related expenses were our biggest operating expense at 67.8% of total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 68.7% of total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Salaries and related expenses decreased approximately 26.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 when compared to the same period that ended September 30, 2010. During the second half of fiscal 2010 we reduced our overall staffing levels by approximately 20% in an effort at matching our staffing levels and total compensation costs more closely with our present and expected revenues and operating activities. The table below provides a summary of the significant components of salary and related expenses by primary cost category.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011 and the three months ended September 30, 2010 we incurred $21,429 and $108,512, respectively, in salary expense in connection with ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, which establishes standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for employee services. This standard requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
Rent and related expenses decreased by approximately 12.7% during the three months ended September 30, 2011 when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010. Deducted from rent during 2011 was $3,159 in non-cash, straight-line rent expense recorded to give effect to contractual, inflation-based rent increases in our leases. During the three months ended September 30, 2010 we recorded $48,131 in straight line rent expense resulting in a decrease from our 2010 recognized straight line rent expense of $51,290 or 106.6%. The decrease in straight line rent is the primary reason for the decrease in rent expense during the three month period ended September 30, 2011. During late 2010 we increased our office space at our corporate headquarters to accommodate the space needs associated with our three year strategic plan. The increased square footage resulted in an increase in rent expense of $5,601 or 7.4%. Our primary data site is located at a Cincinnati Bell owned Co-Location facility in Cincinnati, Ohio. We will continue utilizing this facility for the foreseeable future since it is designed to ensure 100% production system up-time and to provide system redundancy. We lease co-location and disaster recovery space in the Ft. Lauderdale, Florida area. This facility provides us with disaster recovery and business continuity services for our operations. This lease expires in August 2012. We currently lease office space in Bonn, Germany for our European subsidiary, OmniComm Europe, GmbH. That lease expires in December 2012. We entered into a lease for office space in New Jersey in order to integrate our acquisition of the eResearch EDC Assets during the third quarter of fiscal 2009. That office lease expires in February 2013. Our OmniComm Ltd. subsidiary entered into a lease for office space during the last fiscal quarter of of 2009. That office lease expires in October 2012. During September 2010 we renewed our corporate office lease. That lease now extends through September 2016. The table below provides the significant components of our rent related expenses by location, subsidiary or operating activity.

Consulting services expense decreased to $77,775 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared with $112,471 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $34,696 or 30.8%. Consulting services were comprised of fees paid to consultants for help with developing our computer applications, fees incurred as part of our employee recruiting programs and for services related to our sales and marketing efforts. The Company has, during fiscal 2010 and 2011, used outside consultants in an effort to augment our in-house R & D efforts. The consulting engagements that have been undertaken or that are currently contemplated for the balance of 2011 involve development projects that are either non-core functionality of our software applications or are for highly specialized work that do not warrant the addition of full-time staff due to their non-recurring nature. In addition, we decreased employee recruitment spending by bringing most of those efforts in-house. The table provided below provides the significant components of the expenses incurred related to consulting services.

Legal and professional fees decreased approximately 26.2% or $20,760 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2010. Professional fees include fees paid to our auditors for services rendered on a monthly and annual basis in connection with our SEC filings and fees paid to our attorneys in connection with representation in matters involving litigation and acquisitions or for services rendered to us related to securities and SEC filings and related matters. The decrease can be attributed decreases that occurred due to timing differences on audit related fees offset by increases for amounts paid to standardize our information systems on the NetSuite application and an increase of $20,726 for legal fees associated with employment and human resources related matters. The table below compares the significant components of our legal and professional fees for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SGA”) decreased approximately 38.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 we recorded a reduction of 11,625 in license fees associated with our license agreement with DataSci, LLC compared to an expense of $81,342 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. We recorded a license fee of $5,191 relating to a license agreement with Logos Holdings, Ltd. relating to certain clients we acquired as part of our acquisition of Logos Technologies, Ltd. in August 2009. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 we accrued $167,661 in software licensing expense related to our use of several Microsoft® software products. In addition, SGA expenses relate primarily to costs incurred in running our offices in Florida, New Jersey, England and Germany on a day-to-day basis and other costs not directly related to other captioned items in our income statement. SGA include the cost of office equipment and supplies, the costs of attending conferences and seminars and other expenses incurred in the normal course of business. The Company increased its marketing, sales and advertising expenditures by approximately 96.5% or $22,048 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010.
Interest expense was $495,036 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $930,642 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $435,606 or 46.8%. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease of $487,735 in the amounts accreted on the discounts recorded on convertible notes originally issued in December 2008 which was offset by interest expense incurred on promissory notes. The table below provides details on the amount of discount accretion recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.

Interest incurred to related parties was $374,362 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and $318,415 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $55,947 or 17.6%. This increase is primarily related to the issuance of $3,304,879 in promissory notes to our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Cornelis F. Wit during fiscal 2011. The table below provides detail on the significant components of interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010.

During fiscal 2010 and 2011 we recorded unrealized gains and losses related to changes in our derivative liabilities associated with the issuance of convertible notes that occurred from fiscal 2008 to 2010 and a note payable issued during fiscal 2011. We recorded a net unrealized gain of $923,590 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared with a net unrealized gain of $776,945 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. The recorded unrealized gains and losses can be attributed to fair value calculations undertaken periodically on the warrant and conversion feature liabilities recorded by us at the time the convertible notes were issued. Accordingly, the warrant and conversion feature liabilities are increased or decreased based on the fair value calculations made at each balance sheet date. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, several factors combined to produce the significant unrealized gain from derivative changes we recorded. These factors include: 1) a significant decrease in the share price on the OTC Bulletin Board of our common stock; 2) a marked increase in the calculated volatility used in the valuation model used in determining the fair value of our derivative liabilities; offset by 3) the maturity date of two of the outstanding convertible notes being extended by two years. These extensions increased the fair value of the conversion feature liability underlying that convertible note. These non-cash gains and losses have materially impacted our results of operations during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and during fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008 and can be reasonably anticipated to materially affect our net loss or net income in future periods. We are, however, unable to estimate the amount of such income/expense in future periods as the income/expense is partly based on the market price of our common stock at the end of a future measurement date. In addition, in the future if we issue securities which are classified as derivatives we will incur expense and income items in future periods. Investors are cautioned to consider the impact of this non-cash accounting treatment on our financial statements.
The Company recorded arrearages of $51,847 in its 5% Series A Preferred Stock dividends for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and the three months ended September 30, 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash. We have historically experienced negative cash flows and have relied on the proceeds from the sale of debt and equity securities to fund our operations. In addition, we have utilized stock-based compensation as a means of paying for consulting and salary related expenses.
The table provided below summarizes key measures of our liquidity and capital resources:

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents decreased since December 31, 2010 by $1,129,950 at September 30, 2011. The decrease is comprised of an operating loss of $4,380,837, which was increased by a decrease in cash from working capital account changes of $369,008 offset by an increase from non-cash transactions of $3,492,560. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 our investing activities were comprised of purchases of property and equipment of $71,374. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we repaid $212,500 in promissory notes and borrowed $438,000 under promissory notes issued to our Chief Executive Officer, Cornelis F. Wit.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and during fiscal 2010, our ability to collect on trade receivables improved when compared to fiscal 2009. We saw decreased incidence of customers discontinuing operations and experienced a small amount of uncollectable receivables. There is some degree of seasonality to our billings and consequently to our receivables collections and working capital position. Historically, several of our largest client contracts are billed and collected during the first and fourth fiscal quarters. There is therefore, a corresponding, significant timing-based component to the liquidity position we report that is dependent on the period of our fiscal year being reported.
During the remainder of fiscal 2011 we expect to continue to see improved trade receivables collections and not experience any material customer defaults.
In the past, the Company has through extending payments on trade payables managed to improve its working capital and cash position. Additionally, during fiscal 2010, the amounts expended on payroll and operating expenses decreased in connection with a restructuring of our operating costs. The Company has experienced a commensurate decrease in payables and payroll related accruals and expects these trends to continue during the remainder of fiscal 2011. Our revenue model mix significantly impacts the size, timing and collection pattern of our receivables since the contract terms and transaction size for our license and ADP models have different payment milestones and thus can have dramatically different billing and payment terms and impact on our operating cash flows.
Capital Expenditures
We are not currently bound by any long or short-term agreements for the purchase or lease of capital expenditures. Any amounts expended for capital expenditures would be the result of an increase in the capacity needed to adequately service any increase in our business. To date we have paid for any needed additions to our capital equipment infrastructure from working capital funds and anticipate this being the case in the future.
Presently, we have approximately $500,000 planned for capital expenditures to further develop the Company’s infrastructure to allow for growth in our operations during the next 12 months. We expect to fund these capital expenditure needs through a combination of vendor-provided financing, the use of operating or capital equipment leases and cash provided from operations.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Debt Obligations
We are currently in arrears on principal and interest payments owed totaling $167,837 on our 10% Convertible Notes that were issued in 1998. We were in default effective January 30, 2002.
On February 1, 2011, the Company issued a promissory note for $137,500 to Noesis International Holdings, the parent company of Noesis Capital Corp., the Company’s Placement Agent for several equity and debt transactions from 1999 to 2007 and a significant shareholder in the Company. The promissory note bears interest at 12% per annum payable April 1, 2013 and replaces a promissory note in the same principal amount that matured on January 31, 2011.
On March 31, 2011, the Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $2,866,879 to our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Cornelis F. Wit. The promissory note bears interest at 12% per annum and is due on April 1, 2014. The promissory note consolidates the principal amounts owed under several promissory notes originally issued during 2010. The promissory note is comprised of the following amounts received on the following dates:
i. | Promissory Note issued on April 13, 2010 with a principal amount of $450,000 with a maturity date of December 31, 2011. |
ii. | Promissory Note issued on June 29, 2010 with a principal amount of $115,000 with a maturity date of December 31, 2011. |
iii. | Promissory Note issued on September 30, 2010 with a principal amount of $695,000 with a maturity date of December 31, 2011. |
iv. | Promissory Note issued on December 31, 2010 with a principal amount of $1,197,500 with a maturity date of December 31, 2011. |
v. | Promissory Note issued on December 31, 2010 with a principal amount of $409,379 with a maturity date of April 01, 2012. |
On May 13, 2011, the Company issued a note payable with a principal amount owed of $96,000 to our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Cornelis F. Wit. The note accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum and has a maturity date of January 1, 2013.
On September 2, 2011, the Company issued a note payable in the principal amount of $50,000 to our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Cornelis F. Wit. The note bore interest at a rate of 12% per annum and had a maturity date of January 1, 2013. This note was repaid in full on September 7, 2011.
On September 30, 2011, the Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $342,000 to our Chief Executive Officer, Cornelis F. Wit. The note carries an interest rate of 12% per annum and is due on April 1, 2014. The promissory note consolidates the principal amounts owed under several promissory notes originally issued during 2011. The promissory note consolidated several promissory notes as provided below:
i. | Promissory Note issued on August 16, 2011 for $80,000 with a maturity date of January 01, 2013. |
ii. | Promissory Note issued on August 19, 2011 for $15,000 with a maturity date of January 01, 2013. |
iii. | Promissory Note issued on August 25, 2011 for $35,000 with a maturity date of January 01, 2013. |
iv. | Promissory Note issued on September 02, 2011 for $32,000 with a maturity date of January 01, 2013. |
v. | Promissory Note issued on September 15, 2011 for $80,000 with a maturity date of January 01, 2013. |
vi. | Promissory Note issued on September 28, 2011 for $100,000 with a maturity date of January 01, 2013. |
During the next twelve months the following debts mature: $75,000 of 10% convertible notes currently in default and due; $20,000 from a promissory note, held by our Chief Technology Officer, Randall G. Smith, that matures in December 2011, $111,800 in promissory notes that mature in July 2012 and $37,500 from a promissory note held by an investor that matures in April 2012.
Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources
Because of the losses we have experienced from operations we have needed to continue utilizing the proceeds from the sale of debt and equity securities to fund our working capital needs. We have used a combination of equity financing, short-term bridge loans and long-term loans to fund our working capital needs. Other than our revenues, current capital and capital we may raise from future debt or equity offerings or short-term bridge loans, we do not have any additional sources of working capital.
Since 2008, the Company has utilized the proceeds of convertible debentures, convertible notes and promissory notes (“Debt Capital”) to satisfy its working capital and capital expenditure needs. During 2008 and 2009 we raised $10,035,000 in the form of convertible debentures that remain outstanding. Approximately 96% of that Debt Capital was issued to officers, directors or significant senior managers of the Company, including debentures totaling $8,660,000 to our Chief Executive Officer. During 2010 we raised $2,886,879 from promissory notes to our Chief Executive Officer. In addition, we issued a $20,000 promissory note to our Chairman and Chief Technology Officer during 2010. During 2011 we raised $438,000 in promissory notes to our Chief Executive Officer.
In November 2010, we issued 250,000 shares of our Series D Preferred Stock to our Chief Executive Officer, Cornelis F. Wit in exchange for the conversion of $1,000,000 of the Company’s convertible notes.
We may continue to require substantial funds to continue our research and development activities and to market, sell and commercialize our technology. We may need to raise substantial additional capital to fund our future operations. Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the problems, delays, expenses and complications frequently encountered by companies developing and commercializing new technologies; the progress of our research and development activities; the rate of technological advances; determinations as to the commercial potential of our technology under development; the status of competitive technology; the establishment of collaborative relationships; the success of our sales and marketing programs; the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing intellectual property rights; and other changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions in our planned business. Estimates about the adequacy of funding for our activities are based upon certain assumptions, including assumptions that the research and development programs relating to our technology can be conducted at projected costs and that progress towards broader commercialization of our technology will be timely and successful. There can be no assurance that changes in our research and development plans or other events will not result in accelerated or unexpected expenditures.
During the second half of 2010, the Company made material changes to its cost structure including reducing commitments for financial advisory and product development consulting arrangements. We have looked closely at staffing costs and attempted to ensure that our overall salary levels are structured around the current and projected business development and contract levels expected for the next 12 months.
While the Company has not sought capital from venture capital or private equity sources we believe that those sources of capital remain available although possibly under terms and conditions that might be disadvantageous to existing investors.
To satisfy our capital requirements, including ongoing future operations, we may seek to raise additional financing through debt and equity financings. There can be no assurance that any such funding will be available to us on favorable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available when needed, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our research and product development programs, and our business operations. If we are successful in obtaining additional financings, the terms of such financings may have the effect of diluting or adversely affecting the holdings or the rights of the holders of our common and preferred stock or result in increased interest expense in future periods. Further, there can be no assurance that even if such additional capital is obtained or the planned cost reductions are implemented, that we will achieve positive cash flow or profitability or be able to continue as a business.
While several of our officers and directors have historically, either personally or through funds with which they are affiliated, provided substantial capital either in the form of debt or equity financing there can be no assurance that they will continue to provide any such funding to us on favorable terms or at all.
Our ability to continue in existence is dependent on our having sufficient financial resources to bring products and services to market. As a result of our historical operating losses, negative cash flows and accumulated deficits for the periods ending September 30, 2011, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, our auditors Webb & Company, P.A., included language which qualified their opinion regarding our ability to continue as a going concern in their report dated March 29, 2011 regarding our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Note 2 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Certain of these significant accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies, as defined below.
A critical accounting policy is defined as one that is both material to the presentation of our financial statements and requires management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Specifically, critical accounting estimates have the following attributes: 1) we are required to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate; and 2) different estimates we could reasonably have used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known. In addition, our Management is periodically faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within our control and will not be known for prolonged periods of time. Based on a critical assessment of its accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, our Management believes that our consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), and present a meaningful presentation of our financial condition and results of operations.
Our Management believes that the following are our critical accounting policies:
ASSET ACQUISITIONS AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
We account for asset acquisitions in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other. The acquisition method of accounting requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their fair values on the date of an asset acquisition.
The judgments that we make in determining the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially impact net income in periods following an asset acquisition. We generally use either the income, cost or market approach to aid in our conclusions of such fair values and asset lives. The income approach presumes that the value of an asset can be estimated by the net economic benefit to be received over the life of the asset, discounted to present value. The cost approach presumes that an investor would pay no more for an asset than its replacement or reproduction cost. The market approach estimates value based on what other participants in the market have paid for reasonably similar assets. Although each valuation approach is considered in valuing the assets acquired, the approach ultimately selected is based on the characteristics of the asset and the availability of information.
Long Lived Assets
We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Determining whether an impairment has occurred typically requires various estimates and assumptions, including determining which cash flows are directly related to the potentially impaired asset, the useful life over which cash flows will occur, their amount and the asset’s residual value, if any. In turn, measurement of an impairment loss requires a determination of fair value, which is based on the best information available. We use quoted market prices when available and independent appraisals, as appropriate, to determine fair value.
Deferred revenue represents cash advances received in excess of revenue earned on on-going contracts. Payment terms vary with each contract but may include an initial payment at the time the contract is executed, with future payments dependent upon the completion of certain contract phases or targeted milestones. In the event of contract cancellation, the Company is generally entitled to payment for all work performed through the point of cancellation.
REVENUE RECOGNITION POLICY
OmniComm’s revenue model is transaction-based and can be implemented either as an ASP (application service provider) or licensed for implementation by a customer such as a pharmaceutical company. Revenues are derived from the set-up of clinical trial engagements; licensing arrangements, fees earned for hosting our clients’ data and projects, on-going maintenance fees incurred throughout the duration of an engagement; fees for report writing and project change orders. The clinical trials that are conducted using our EDC Applications can last from a few months to several years. Most of the fees associated with our product including post-setup customer support in the form of maintenance charges are recognized ratably over the term of clinical trial projects. Cost of sales is primarily comprised of programmer salaries and taxes and is expensed as incurred.
The Company recognizes sales, for both financial statement and tax purposes in accordance with ASC 605- Revenue Recognition and ASC 605.985, Software Industry Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that revenues be recognized ratably over the life of a contract. The Company will periodically record deferred revenues relating to advance payments in our contracts. Under its licensing arrangement the Company recognizes revenue pursuant to ASC 605.985. Under these arrangements the Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the service has been provided to the customer and/or delivery has occurred; (3) the collection of fees is probable; and (4) the fee is fixed or determinable. ASC 605.985, as amended, requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of the elements. We have analyzed each element in our multiple element arrangements and determined that we have sufficient vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) to allocate revenues to license updates and product support. License revenues are recognized on delivery if the other conditions of ASC 605.985 are satisfied. License updates and product support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement. In arrangements where term licenses are bundled with license updates and product support and such revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement, we allocate the revenue to license revenue and to license updates and product support revenue based on the VSOE of fair value for license updates and product support revenue on perpetual licenses of similar products.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION.
The Company accounts for its employee equity incentive plans under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.
ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The Company currently uses the American Binomial option pricing model to determine grant date fair value.
EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
During fiscal 2011, we adopted the following new accounting pronouncements:
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations.” This update changes the disclosure of pro forma information for business combinations. These changes clarify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. Also, the existing supplemental pro forma disclosures were expanded to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. These changes became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011. The Company’s adoption of this update did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “Intangible –Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts.” This update requires an entity to perform all steps in the test for a reporting unit whose carrying value is zero or negative if it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that a goodwill impairment exists based on qualitative factors, resulting in the elimination of an entity’s ability to assert that such a reporting unit’s goodwill is not impaired and additional testing is not necessary despite the existence of qualitative factors that indicate otherwise. These changes became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”), which clarifies the wording and disclosures required in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), to converge with those used (to be used) in International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The update explains how to measure and disclose fair value under ASC 820. However, the FASB does not expect the changes in this standards update to alter the current application of the requirements in ASC 820. The provisions of ASU 2011-04 are effective for public entities prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is prohibited. Therefore, ASU 2011-04 is effective for the Company during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company does not expect ASU 2011-04 to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 requires the presentation of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for the Company’s quarter ending June 30, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, but will require a change in the presentation of the Company’s comprehensive income from the notes of the condensed consolidated financial statements, where it is currently disclosed, to the face of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, (“ASU 2011-08”), which amends the guidance in ASC 350-20, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other – Goodwill. Under ASU 2011-08, entities have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit when testing goodwill for impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined, based on qualitative factors, to be more likely than not less than the carrying amount of the reporting unit, then entities are required to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting standards-setting organizations frequently issue new or revised accounting rules. We regularly review all new pronouncements that have been issued since the filing of our Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2010 to determine their impact, if any, on our financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for the period ended September 30, 2011, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) were effective such that the information relating to the Company, including our consolidating subsidiaries, required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (1) was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and up to the filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
