NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements of Power3 Medical Products, Inc. (“Power3”or the “Company”) at September 30, 2007 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted or condensed pursuant to such rules and regulations. These statements should be read in conjunction with Power3’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006. In management’s opinion, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results which can be expected for the entire year.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share calculations are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The per share amounts include the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents in years with net income. Power3 had losses in September 2007 and 2006. Basic and diluted loss per share is the same as the effect of our potential common stock equivalents would be anti dilutive.
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, Power3 incurred net losses chargeable to common shareholders of $5,046,460 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and has an accumulated deficit of $7,962,153 as of September 30, 2007. These conditions create an uncertainty as to Power3's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management is trying to raise additional capital through various funding arrangements. The financial statements did not include any adjustment that might be necessary if Power3 is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
Securities Purchase Agreement—Convertible Debentures
The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated October 28, 2004 (the “Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Purchasers agreed to purchase convertible debentures due three (3) years from the date of issuance in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000. The Agreement also provides warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock and additional investment rights to purchase additional convertible debentures. In connection with the Agreement, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers that requires the Company to (i) file a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures and the exercise of the warrants, (ii) achieve effectiveness within a stated period and (iii) maintain effectiveness of the registration statement. Failure to meet these requirements will require the Company to incur liquidating damages amounting to 2.0% for each month.
On October 28, 2004, the Company issued the Purchasers the first $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of such debentures at the initial closing under the Agreement. Effective January 26, 2005, the Company issued and sold, to a sub-group of the original investors, a second tranche of $400,000 aggregate principal amount of debentures. Subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement, all purchasers are required to purchase the remaining $1,600,000 in aggregate principal amount of such debentures at the final closing, which is to occur on or before the fifth trading day after the effective date of the registration statement. The Company is currently in default under the Agreement and the previously issued debentures and related registration rights agreement, and therefore the conditions of the Agreement will not be satisfied or otherwise met on a timely basis. Consequently, there are no assurances that the Purchasers will purchase all or any por tion of the remaining $1,600,000 aggregate principal amount of debentures. The $1,400,000 aggregate principal amount of debentures that were issued October 28, 2004 and January 26, 2005 are due and payable in accordance with their original terms in full three years after the date of issuance and bear
8
interest at a default rate of 18%. The debentures are convertible into shares of common stock at the following conversion price, which varies relative to the Company’s trading stock price, as follows: $0.90 per share, provided however if the lesser of (i) 75% of the average of the 5 consecutive Closing Prices immediately prior to the Effective Date, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, and (ii) the Closing Price on the Effective Date (the lesser of (i) and (ii) being referred to as the “Effective Date Price”) is less than the Conversion Price, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Effective Date Price.
Under the Agreements, the Purchasers also received warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 2,500,000 and 333,333 shares of common stock for tranche one and two, respectively, and additional investment rights to purchase up to an additional $2,500,000 of convertible debentures. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $1.44 per share, subject to adjustment, including under anti-dilution protection. The additional investment rights are exercisable at a price equal to the principal amount of the debentures to be purchased, for (1) a period of nine months following the effective date of the registration statement to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, or (2) a period of 18 months from the date of issuance of the additional investment rights, whichever is shorter. The rights debentures will have the same terms as the debentures described above, except that the conversion price will be equal to $1.08.
The Company is in default under the provisions of the Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement and previously issued debentures. The aggregate amount payable upon an acceleration by reason of an event of default is equal to the greater of 130% of the principal amount of the debentures to be prepaid or the principal amount of the debentures to be prepaid, divided by the conversion price on the date specified in the debenture, multiplied by the closing price on the date set forth in the debenture. As a result of this default Power3 recorded $420,000 during the 12 month period ended December 31, 2005 in penalties as described above.
As of September 30, 2007, the Company has settled $916,667 out of the $1,400,000 Convertible Debentures mentioned above resulting in a balance of $332,378. As a result of negotiations with the purchasers the default penalty has been reduced to $145,000 as of September 30, 2007.
On April 3, 2007, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with NeoGenomics to form a Contract Research Organization (CRO) and collaborate on research work in the future. In addition, NeoGenomics agreed to purchase a convertible debenture for $200,000 and acquired options to purchase common stock of the Company during 2007. Under the terms of the Agreement, Power3 agrees to issue, and NeoGenomics agrees to purchase, a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $200,000. The convertible debenture will be convertible into common shares of the Company at $.20 per share; however the conversion price can be reset at any time and from time to time, in accordance with paragraphs 7 and 9 of the Agreement. The debenture shall accrue interest at 6% per annum, payable quarterly, and the principal amount of the debenture shall be due and payable two years after closing.
Further, in consideration of NeoGenomics, Inc.’s commitment to purchase the debenture and form the joint venture, Power3 grants NeoGenomics, Inc. an irrevocable option (the “Second Option”) to purchase, in one or a series of transactions, voting convertible preferred stock that is convertible into such number of shares of common shares of the Company as is necessary to increase NeoGenomics, Inc.’s ownership of the voting common stock of Power3, up to 60% of Power3’s voting common stock, after taking into consideration all outstanding First Option Preferred Stock and Second Option Preferred Stock, on an as-converted basis.
Power 3 has converted several notes and plans to continue doing so. In some instances Power 3 has offered terms of conversion greater than the original agreement including lowering the strike price of warrants attached to these instruments. As a result of this additional consideration, upon conversion the Company has recorded $840,244 of loss on the conversion of notes during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007.
As a result of the above notes, Power3 has determined that the conversion feature of the secured convertible debentures and the warrants issued with the secured convertible debentures are embedded derivative instruments pursuant to SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. Under the provisions of EITF Issue No. 00−19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock, the accounting treatment of these derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the derivatives at their fair values as of the inception date of the note agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date as a liability. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each balance sheet date. The Company estimates fair value of warrants using the
9
Black-Scholes option pricing model and the conversion feature of their notes using the binomial lattice model. The estimates inherent within these models directly affect the reported amounts of the derivative instrument liabilities.
Convertible Debentures, Warrants and Additional Investment Rights:
The carrying values of the Company’s convertible debentures amounted to $423,386 and $360,417, at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
The following tabular presentation reflects the components of derivative financial instruments on the Company’s balance sheet at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006:
| | | | | | | |
Derivative Liabilities: | | September 30, 2007 | | December 31, 2006 | |
Common stock warrants | | $ | 2,564,561 | | $ | 875,783 | |
Embedded conversion feature | | | 373,088 | | | 186,480 | |
Additional investment rights | | | 434,605 | | | 183,056 | |
Other derivative instruments | | | 348,736 | | | 36,029 | |
| | $ | 3,720,990 | | $ | 1,281,348 | |
The fair values of certain other derivative financial instruments (warrants) that existed at the time of the initial Debenture Financing were re-classed from stockholders’ equity to liabilities when, in connection with the Debenture Financing, the Company no longer controlled its ability to share-settle these instruments.
Other Notes, Preferred Stock and Warrants:
During November and December 2005, the Company issued $300,000 (2 tranches of $150,000) face value, 11% notes and detachable warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock to Trinity Financing Investments Corporation. The warrants have eight-year terms and strike prices of $0.25 for 1,000,000 shares and $0.14 for 1,000,000 shares.
The proceeds from the Trinity financing were allocated first to the warrants, based upon their fair values, with the balance of $103,100 allocated to the notes. The allocation of proceeds to the fair value to the warrants was performed because, as discussed in the previous section, share settlement is not within management’s control. Such amount was initially classified as a derivative liability. The resulting note discount is being amortized through periodic charges to interest expense using the effective method over the life of the notes. Amortization of note discount amounted to $68,499 and $60,522 during the year ended December 31, 2006 and nine month period ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The Company did not make its required debt service payments in March and April 2006. The first Trinity note was paid off during 2006 completely; however the second Trinity note is in default and is still outstanding and payable.
The Company is required to accrue interest on the Trinity Financing note at a rate of 24%. The unamortized discount was $0 at September 30, 2007. On October 3, 2007 a settlement agreement was reached with Trinity. The agreement states that Trinity is to retain 1,300,000 shares from which the legend will be removed. The shares are to be sold in payment of the outstanding debt. If the sale of the 1,300,000 shares yields less than $150,000, Power3 is to pay the difference in cash. The value of the shares are in excess of the amount owed, therefore Power3 has not accrued any additional liability.
Other derivative financial instruments consist of various warrants that were issued prior to and subsequent to the debenture financing and were reclassified from stockholders’ equity or initially accounted as liabilities, at fair values, since share-settlement was not within the Company’s control after the debenture financing.
Notes Payable in Default and to Related Parties
During 2005, the Company received bridge loans in the principal amounts of $251,000, $200,000, $150,000, $150,000 and $446,500 from entities outside the Company. These loans were used for working capital purposes during 2005.
In addition, during 2005, certain holders of bridge loans began selling personally-owned shares they had received as collateral for their loans to the Company, from Steve Rash and Ira Goldknopf. The results of these sales were that the Company became indebted to Steven B. Rash, CEO of Power3, in the amount $55,000 during 2005 and to Ira
10
Goldknopf, Director of Proteomics of the Company, in the amount of $102,000. In addition, an officer of the Company at the time also loaned the Company $35,000 as a short-term bridge loan. These loans, together, totaled $192,000 from related parties during the year ended December 31, 2005.
During January and February, 2006, the Company received an aggregate of $89,400 from a consulting firm in the form of short-term bridge loans. The loans were collateralized by pledged stock. The pledged stock was pledged by officers of the Company and later sold by the consulting firm to pay back the short-term bridge loans.
On March 28, 2006, the Company received a bridge loan in the amount of $400,000, which, after discounts and fees, amounted to a net amount of $300,000. This bridge loan was payable on the sooner of June 28, 2006 or the fifth day following the effective date of the Company’s proposed registration statement on Form SB-2. The note was secured by a Stock Pledge Agreement wherein Steven B. Rash, Chairman and CEO of the Company and Dr. Ira Goldknopf, Director of Proteomics of the Company, pledged personally-owned shares of the Company’s stock. This note was paid off during 2006 by sale of pledged shares by the note holder and is no longer due and payable to the lender.
On June 1, 2006, the Company received a bridge loan in the amount of $266,000, which, after discounts and fees, amounted to a net amount of $200,000. This bridge loan was payable on the sooner of August 12, 2006, or the fifth day following the effective date of the Company’s proposed registration statement on Form SB-2. The note was secured by a Stock Pledge Agreement wherein Steven B. Rash, Chairman and CEO of the Company, and Dr. Ira Goldknopf, Director of Proteomics of the Company, pledged personally-owned shares of the Company’s stock. This note was in default as of December 31, 2006. However, in February, 2007, this note was paid off by sale of pledged shares and a transfer of the remaining principal balance to a new note holder.
During 2006, the payoff of Company notes payable from the sale of personally pledged shares, resulted in the Company entering into Notes Payable with Steven B. Rash, Chairman and CEO of the Company and Dr. Ira Goldknopf, Director of Proteomics of the Company, in the amount of $517,166 and $522,949 respectively. At the end of the year 2006, the total Notes Payable due Mr. Rash for all such transactions were $608,342 and the total Notes Payable due Dr. Goldknopf for such transactions were $785,004. These notes, along with the note payable to Mike Rosinski in the amount of $35,000, brings the total Notes Payable to related parties, as of December 31, 2006, to $1,428,346.
As of September 30, 2007, the total notes Payable due Mr. Rash for all such transactions were $924,456 and the total Notes Payable due Dr. Goldknopf for such transactions were $825,360. These notes, along with the note payable to Mike Rosinski in the amount of $35,000, brings the total Notes Payable to related parties, as of September 30, 2007, to $1,784,816 as follows:

NOTE 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCES
An equipment vendor filed a complaint, regarding equipment which the Company acquired in its May 18, 2004 transaction with Advanced BioChem, now known as Industrial Enterprises of America, and against Advanced BioChem in April of 2002 in a California court alleging breach of contract and seeking damages. Advanced BioChem reached a settlement agreement in April of 2003 under which Advanced BioChem would pay the vendor $40,000 in installments through August, 2003. At December 31, 2003, Advanced BioChem had a balance remaining of $20,000. In April, 2005, the equipment vendor filed a lawsuit against Advanced BioChem, certain former officers of Advanced BioChem and against Power3 in order to enforce its claim for the remaining balance which is past due and may have been assumed by the Company as part of the settlement of the dispute with Advanced BioChem. Settlement negotiations are ongoing; however no resolution has been achieved thus far.
On September 12, 2005, Focus Partners LLC filed suit against David Zazoff and Power3 alleging that Power3 breached its agreement with Focus Partners in that it failed to issue stock to the Plaintiff according to the terms of their agreement, that the stock in question was issued to Zazoff and that Zazoff later sold the stock in question for $480,000. On October 3, 2007, this case was dismissed and Power3 settled for zero dollars.
Subsequently, on October 24, 2007, the Company settled an outstanding accounts payable with a vendor. A settlement agreement and release of all claims was agreed upon. The Company’s accounts payable will be reduced by $67,638.90. The settlement agreement and release of all claims can be found as an exhibit to this filing.
On October 28, 2005, Power3 received notice of a Petition to Enforce Foreign Judgment citation filed against the Company by KForce regarding an employment fee adjudicated in December, 2003 in the state of Florida against the
12
Company, in the amount of $15,873, together with $4,735 in interest. Power3 does not agree with the Foreign Judgment and is attempting to resolve the issue prior to enforcement. No resolution has been achieved on this issue at this time; however the Company is endeavoring to resolve the petition. This debt is not recorded in accounts payable by the Company because it is the Company’s position that the judgment should never have been entered against Power3, but rather against a different corporate entity, not related to Power3 in any way, at this time. The Company’s attorney in this matter feels that no loss is probable, nor will the Company be obligated to pay any sums whatsoever on this matter. The Company has pled improper party and expects to be vacated from the suit since it does not apply to the Company.
In November 2004, Chapman Spira & Carson, LLC (“Chapman Spira”), an investment banking firm, filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York against Advanced BioChem (the Predecessor), Power3 and Steven Rash. The suit alleges that Advanced BioChem and Power3 are liable to Chapman Spira for damages allegedly are resulting from the breach of a letter agreement between Chapman Spira and Advanced BioChem relating to the performance of strategic and investment banking services. Chapman Spira is seeking damages in the amount of $1,522,000 plus interest. The Company has filed an answer in the lawsuit. On March 1, 2007, the Company received notice from its attorney that the action described above has been discontinued without prejudice and without costs to any party.
On February 15, 2006, Bowne of Dallas LP filed suit against Power3 to collect a debt for services in the amount of $17,315. The debt is recorded in accounts payable by Power3 as of December 31, 2006. In February, 2007, this debt, along with an additional $8,000 in fees, was settled and the obligation was removed from the accounts payable of the Company.
In June, 2005, Charles Caudle et al filed a lawsuit in Harris County, Texas, against Advanced BioChem, Power3 and the officers and directors of both companies. The suit alleges that Advanced BioChem, Power3 and the officers and directors of Power3, are liable to Charles Caudle et al for damages resulting from funds loaned to Advanced BioChem and which were subsequently converted into common stock of Advanced BioChem. It is unclear as to the specific dollar amount of the claim. The Company, and its officers and directors, has filed an answer denying all claims in the lawsuit. The Company believes that Charles Caudle’s claims are without merit with regard to Power3; however the Company cannot be assured it will prevail or if the outcome of the action will adversely affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations. A settlement has been reached between Advanced BioChem and Charles Caudle et. al. Power3 and Chares Caudle et. al. have reac hed an agreement and the Company will not incur any loss whatsoever from this action.
NOTE 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 3, 2007 a settlement agreement was reached with Trinity. The agreement states that Trinity is to retain 1,300,000 of their 3,000,000 shares from which the legend will be removed. The shares are to be sold in payment of the outstanding debt. If the sale of the 1,300,000 shares yields less than $150,000, Power3 is to pay the difference in cash. The value of the shares are in excess of the amount owed at September 30, 2007, therefore Power3 has not accrued any additional liability.
The issue of 350,000 of restricted common shares for consulting services in the amount of approximately $52,500 based upon the closing price of the Company’s stock at the grant date was authorized October 29, 2007.
The issue of 437,500 of restricted common shares for the exercise of warrants in the amount of $35,000 was authorized October 31, 2007.
The issue of 442,416 of restricted common shares for a note payable in the amount of $25,000 plus $1,545 in interest was authorized November 9, 2007.

Overview
Power3 incorporated in the State of Florida on May 15, 1992 and merged into a New York Corporation in 1994, under the name of Sheffield Acres, Inc. Power3 and its wholly owned subsidiaries, C5 Health, Inc. (“C5”), which was officially dissolved in the State of Delaware and in the State of Florida effective December 31, 2003 and Power3 Medical, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, were engaged in sales, distribution and services for the healthcare industry. On September 12, 2003 Surgical Safety Products, Inc. amended its Certificate of Incorporation to
14
(a) declare a 1:50 reverse split of its common stock; (b) increase its authorized capital to 150,000,000 shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock; and (c) change its name to Power3 Medical Products, Inc.
The Company transitioned to the development stage, from previously being an operating company, as of the Company’s asset purchase transaction with Advanced BioChem on May 18, 2004. As a development stage company, Power3 is primarily engaged in commercializing its intellectual properties in the area of diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, ALS, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
On June 20, 2007, Power3, pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, was given consent to the withdrawal by the Company of its Registration Statement on Form SB-2 filed initially with the commission on January 21, 2005 and subsequently amended on October 6, 2005 (File No. 333-122227) (the “Registration Statement”). No securities were offered or sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Company requested the withdrawal because it elected not to pursue the registration of the securities.
On September 6, 2007, Power3 announced that its common stock began trading on the Over-the-Counter (OTC) Bulletin Board under the symbol PWRM.OB. Previously, Power3's common stock traded through the Pink Sheets. Moving to the OTC Bulletin Board will benefit Power3 and Power3’s shareholders by increasing the visibility and liquidity of Power3’s common stock.
Series B Preferred Stock
Pursuant to two employment agreements with two officers, the Company has agreed to issue to such officers an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. On September 6, 2007, the Company filed the Certificate of Amendment necessary to designate the Series B Preferred Stock and the powers, designations and relative rights of the Series B Preferred Stock and has not issued the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock. The Company intends to issue such shares of the Series B Preferred Stock to the two officers in the near future.
Scientific Developments
On March 31, 2007, Power3 received a certification to begin offering CLIA-compliant high complexity medical testing services. CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) was passed by the U.S. Congress in 1988 to establish quality standards for all laboratory testing, and to ensure accuracy, reliability and timeliness of patient test results regardless of where the test was performed. Power3 earned its two-year license to offer high complexity tests after meeting standards for knowledge, training and experience, reagents and materials preparation, characteristics of operational steps, calibration, quality control and proficiency testing materials, test system troubleshooting and equipment maintenance, and interpretation and judgment. With the CLIA certification, Power3 has now begun offering the BC-SeraPro™ blood-based breast cancer testing services to physicians, hospitals and clinics, with analysis of samples performed by the company in its centralized laboratory.
Power3’s scientific team is currently headed by its CLIA Laboratory Director and Director of Biochemistry, Dr. Essam A. Sheta. Dr. Sheta is a pioneer in the science of protein chemistry and cancer cell signaling and in so doing made significant biochemical discoveries. The team has leveraged these significant insights and has made progress in the discovery of unique disease protein footprints of biomarkers in breast cancer, neurodegenerative disease, and drug resistance to chemotherapeutic agents.
On April 4, 2007 Power3 announced a collaboration agreement with NeoGenomics, Inc. (NGNM) of Fort Myers, Florida, to form a joint venture Contract Research Organization (CRO), whose mission will be commercialization of Power3's portfolio of Intellectual Property. The efforts will center on blood-based tests using the 534 biomarkers Power3 has discovered from a broad range of diseases including breast cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and ALS, and the further development of diagnostic tests and other services. In addition, NeoGenomics agreed to purchase a convertible debenture for $200,000 and acquired options to purchase common stock of the Company during 2007. Under the terms of the Agreement, Power3 agrees to issue, and NeoGenomics agrees to purchase, a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $200,000. The convertible debenture will be convertible into common shares of the Company at $.20 per share; however the conversion price can be reset at a ny time and from time to time, in accordance with paragraphs 7 and 9 of the Agreement. The debenture shall accrue interest at 6% per annum, payable quarterly, and the principal amount of the debenture shall be due and payable two years after closing.
In addition, in consideration of NeoGenomics, Inc.’s commitment to purchase the debenture and form the joint venture, Power3 grants, to Neogenomics, Inc., an irrevocable option (the “First Option”) to purchase, in one or a
15
series of transactions, voting convertible preferred stock that is convertible into such number of shares of common stock of Power3, after taking into account, all outstanding First Option Preferred Stock, on an as-converted basis.
Further, in consideration of NeoGenomics, Inc.’s commitment to purchase the debenture and form the joint venture, Power3 grants NeoGenomics, Inc. an irrevocable option (the “Second Option”) to purchase, in one or a series of transactions, voting convertible preferred stock that is convertible into such number of shares of common shares of the Company as is necessary to increase NeoGenomics, Inc.’s ownership of the voting common stock of Power3, up to 60% of Power3’s voting common stock, after taking into consideration all outstanding First Option Preferred Stock and Second Option Preferred Stock, on an as-converted basis.
Product Candidates
The Company plans to target the protein-based diagnostic and drug targeting markets utilizing the Company’s portfolio of proprietary disease biomarkers. In the area of neurodegenerative diseases and breast cancer, the Company has completed clinical validation studies involving over 2000 patient samples and is utilizing biostatistics to monitor appropriate panels of biomarkers for diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. By testing patient body fluids and tissues, such as serum, nipple aspirate fluid, and bone marrow aspirate, the Company has discovered unique snapshots of protein patterns in over 2000 samples that cover a broad range of diseases including:
·
cancers such as breast, leukemia, bladder, stomach, and esophageal; and
·
Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, ALS, and Parkinson’s disease.
The Company’s discovery platform uses proprietary methodologies, trade secrets, and accepted proteomic technologies that are optimized and validated for reproducible discovery of disease specific biomarkers in clinical patient samples. Following sample preparation, a 2D Gel system is used for the separation of proteins. The gels are stained, digitally scanned and imaged, and analyzed with unprecedented reproducibility and sensitivity for quantitative differences in the disease vs. control samples. The significance of these differences is evaluated using advanced biostatistics to generate statistical models for the disease and control sample groups. This model is then applied to new samples to predict their diagnosis. Proteins of interest are removed from the gel matrix and analyzed by fingerprinting on a liquid chromatograph - tandem mass spectrometer. This information is then cross-referenced on a worldwide database to identify the protein of origin. Thi s process requires a great deal of proteomics experience and expertise to make the correct accurate identification. In addition, all of the procedures are scaleable. The Company’s proteomics platform delivers significant discoveries exhibiting validated, reproducible, and reliable biomarkers over a broad quantitative range and linearity of proteomic assays.
The Company has successfully identified more than 543 protein biomarkers that are differentially expressed in response to disease by employing proprietary technologies gained from over 60 years of combined experience in protein biochemistry.
Power3 is transitioning from a company focused only on research and development to one that is demonstrating “proof of concept” of its technology as it enters the commercialization stage for its technology, products and services. The Company is engaged in the process of developing a portfolio of products including BC-SeraPro™ biomarkers and blood serum tests (for early detection of breast cancer); NuroPro® biomarkers and blood serum tests (for neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and ALS diseases) and drug targets for drug resistance to chemotherapeutics.
Breast Cancer Screening Test (BC-SeraPro™)
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women and results in 40,000 deaths annually, with over $7 billion spent on breast cancer diagnosis annually. An important factor in surviving cancer is early detection and treatment. According to the American Cancer Society Surveillance Research, when breast cancer is confined to the breast, the five-year survival rate for early stages is close to 100%. Due to the limitations of the current diagnostic techniques of mammograms and self-examination, diagnosis of cancer is often missed or inconclusive. The limitations and lack of accuracy of the current diagnostic tests highlight the need for a test that can detect the presence of breast cancer much earlier and more accurately.
Currently, Power3 continues its blood serum breast cancer biomarker discovery program using blood serum samples collected from clinical validation sites, in collaboration with Dr. Alan Hollingsworth at the Mercy Woman’s Center.
16
The Company believes that there are many advantages to a simple blood test over other types of samples taken from patients, not the least of which is the ready acceptance by patients to having blood drawn.
The Company’s proteomic discovery platform covered by pending patent applications and trade secrets was initially able to identify a panel of 12 blood serum based biomarkers and most recently identified an additional 10 biomarkers. These proteins have the potential to serve as an early detection tool to identify breast cancer long before it becomes detectable by conventional screening methods, greatly improving an individual’s chance for survival. Preliminary testing results demonstrated that this proteomic diagnostic tool is able to correctly identify individuals who are cancer-free or have benign disease from patients that have cancer with great sensitivity and specificity. These discoveries establish the basis of a very sensitive, minimally invasive, early detection breast cancer screening test. Therefore, Power3 has decided to focus development efforts for its early-detection tests for breast cancer on blood serum. Similarly, the Company has succ essfully used blood serum as the platform for its NuroPro® neurodegenerative tests and believes that blood serum as a single platform is the best medium for the development and commercialization of proteomics diagnostic tests.
Power3 has completed the development program of BC-SeraPro™ and is moving forward with a strategy of providing a test that is utilitarian, accurate, and inexpensive. Detection of a patient's protein biomarker profile can now be employed to detect abnormal and pathological states reflected in the serum proteome. Application of this test will have a future impact on how disease will be diagnosed, monitored, and managed.
On October 1, 2007, Power3 entered into a Distributor Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Financial Advisory House (“FAH”) to launch BC-SeraPro™ in twelve Middle East countries. The agreement with FAH’s Medical Equipment Suppliers division, a Bahrain-based medical instrument distribution company, allows for the marketing and distribution of the BC-SeraPro™ breast cancer diagnostic test for resale to clinics and physicians in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Bahrain, Yemen, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates before the end of 2007. The test will be analyzed in Power3’s Houston based, CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment) certified proteomic laboratory.
The agreement with Financial Advisory House is an important milestone in Power3’s development and transition from a research and development company to a diagnostic company with commercially viable products. Power3 selected the Middle East as its initial market because the healthcare systems in these particular countries are open to providing a test that offers new and innovative technologies for earlier detection of breast cancer. These markets also have a particular need for additional methods of early detection due to their high incidence rates of breast cancer. Power3 expects that the launch of the BC-SeraPro™ diagnostic test will be a major catalyst in making 2008 a significant year for the Company. Power3 is seeking other distributors for BC-SeraPro™ and is currently in discussions with several international and domestic partners as the Company implements its strategic plan to expand its geographical distribution of the test and other di agnostic tests currently in the pipeline.
During the third quarter, in conjunction with the Middle East BC-SeraPro™ product launch, the Company has initiated a 100 patient prospective blinded validation study with Dr. Alan Hollingsworth, MD and the Mercy Women’s Center in Oklahoma City, OK. The results of this study are expected to be completed and published in the first quarter of 2008. The publishing of the results will precede the US launch of BC-SeraPro™. The Company received two shipments of samples in October for the validation study that is currently being analyzed in the Company’s CLIA certified laboratory.
Neurodegenerative Screening Test (NuroPro®)
Early detection of neurodegenerative disease generally results in better patient outcomes. Three neurodegenerative diseases of particular interest are Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). The Alzheimer’s Association reports that Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia affecting over 5.1 million Americans, of which 4.9 millions are 65 or older. Every 72 seconds, someone in America develops Alzheimer’s disease and by mid-century someone will develop Alzheimer’s every 33 seconds. People as young as 30 years old can contract the disease and one in ten people age 65 and over have Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, the American Parkinson’s Disease Association reports that more than 1.5 million people in the U.S. have Parkinson’s disease, affecting about 1 in 100 Americans over the age of 60 and a new case of Parkinson’s disease is diagnosed ever y 9 minutes. On a smaller scale, the ALS Association reports that an average of approximately 30,000 Americans are afflicted with ALS, with 5,000 new cases diagnosed annually.
17
The members of the Company’s scientific team have developed a method for the differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases utilizing blood serum, which was co-developed with neurologist, Dr. Stan Appel, now Chair of Neurology and Co-Director of Methodist Neurological Institute in Houston. With this test, which involves monitoring the concentration of 59 differentially expressed proteins, the Company has identified groups of unique markers that appear to distinguish normal patients from those with motor neuron, cognitive, and other neurological disorders.
Currently, selected panels of biomarkers are being employed in development of the NuroPro® blood serum-based tests for four disease diagnostics including neurological diseases of motor control such as Parkinson’s disease, ALS and similarly presenting like disorders; ALS specific tests for ALS vs. ALS-like disorders; Alzheimer’s disease specific tests; and a Parkinson’s disease-specific test. Pre-IDE applications for the first two diagnostic tests have been filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Power3 has discovered 59 biomarkers which are being used in a panel to demonstrate Power3’s ability to identify Parkinson’s disease in its early stages through blood serum-based testing, as well as differentiate between Parkinson’s and Parkinson’s-like diseases. In accordance with the research agreement between the University of Thessaly, School of Medicine in Larissa, Greece and Power3, 37 Parkinson’s disease patient samples as well as age and gender matched control samples have been received and analyzed with greater than expected sensitivity and specificity. The blood serum samples that were collected from the patients in Greece utilized Power3’s rigid standards and protocols and were shipped to our CLIA certified laboratory in Texas, where the analysis was performed. The consistency in the sample results from both the US and Greece, points to how robust this test is in diverse populations. The better than expected Parkinson's te st results and the numerous validation studies that are underway for Alzheimer's disease, ALS, and similar neurological disorders, confirm Power3’s commitment to bringing these tests to market in 2008.
On April 24, 2007, Power3’s NuroPro logo became a registered trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
On July 2007, Chief Executive Officer, Steven Rash, participated in a Podcast sponsored by “Future Pharmaceuticals Magazine” alongside other biotechnology industry executives. The Podcast will be available for download on Power3 Medical’s website (www.power3medical.com) and on Future Pharmaceuticals website (www.futurepharmaus.com) in August 2007.
The Podcast, titled “Drug Discovery & Development: Biomarker Discovery & Research Executive Panel Discussion,” was moderated by David Lester, New York Site Head, Pfizer Human Health Technologies, Global Clinical Technology, PGRD. During the Podcast, Mr. Rash and the other members of the panel discussed the importance of biomarkers and the role they play in the drug research and development process. Power3 has identified 534 biomarkers that can be used for the early detection of breast cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. The Company is in the final stages of development and is preparing for the commercialization of the diagnostic tests for these diseases.
On August 20, 2007, Power3 presented at Noble Financials Small Cap Conference / Micro Cap Symposium held at the Charleston Place Hotel in Charleston, South Carolina. Steven Rash, Power3's Chief Executive Officer provided an update on the Company's developments and business strategy. The presentation with streaming video and PowerPoint presentation was webcast live and archived on Noble Financials conference website at www.two-007.net.
On October 12, 2007, Power3 appointed Dr. Marwan N. Sabbagh to the Company's Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Sabbagh, a national leader in neurodegenerative disease, will collaborate with Power3 Medical in a validation study of blood serum patient samples using Power3's NuroPro® diagnostic screening test.
Dr. Sabbagh is currently the Director of Clinical Research at the Cleo Roberts Center of Clinical Research at the Sun Health Research Institute located in Sun City, Arizona. Power3 has a Clinical Trial Agreement pending with the Sun Health. Dr. Sabbagh has been published in seventy reviews, and has written original research articles on Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Additionally, he has written a soon to be published book on Alzheimer's prevention. Dr. Sabbagh received his medical degree from the University of Arizona in Tucson and completed his residency in Neurology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, and his fellowship at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. He also serves as the staff physician at Sun Health Boswell Hospital where he practices general neurology and specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Sabbagh is a Clinical Instructor in Neurology and provides both clinical and didactic ex pertise for the geriatric fellowship program.
18
Sun Health Research Institute is a leader, nationally and internationally, in the effort to find answers to disorders related to aging, and Dr. Sabbagh's vast experience and commitment in the field of neurodegenerative research is a tremendous asset to Power3's Scientific Advisory Board. The Cleo Roberts Center of Clinical Research has shown remarkable dedication to finding an early detection test and treatment for neurodegenerative diseases under Dr. Sabbagh's guidance.
For twenty-one years, Sun Health Research Institute has been a leader nationally and internationally in the effort to find answers to disorders of aging including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, arthritis, and prostate cancer. The institute, together with its Arizona Alzheimer's Consortium partners, has been designated by the National Institutes of Health as one of just twenty-nine Alzheimer's Disease Centers in the nation. The institute's Cleo Roberts Center for Clinical Research takes laboratory discoveries to clinical trials that foster hope for new treatments. Sun Health Research Institute is affiliated with the Sun Health non-profit community healthcare network.

With such important milestones pending in the development of commercial applications for our proprietary technologies, the Company believes a strategic relationship with the right investor relations firm is pivotal in accomplishing the Company’s goals.
IRG will strive to increase investor and industry awareness of Power3 within the capital markets by introducing the Company and its management to pre-qualified fund managers, industry analysts and the media-at-large.
As compensation to IRG for services rendered, the Company shall pay to IRG a maintenance fee of $13,500 per month for a renewable term of 12 months, beginning July 1, 2007. Additionally, the Company agreed to issue to IRG personnel a total of 400,000 restricted shares of common stock.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s liquidity and capital needs relate primarily to working capital, development and other general corporate requirements. The Company has not received any cash from operations, other than from the sale of blood serum samples previously gathered. The Companyhas an immediate need for capital to continue its current operations, and in addition, is seeking additional capital from research grants, collaboration agreements, and other strategic alliances.
19
Net cash used in operating activities amounted to $1,664,269 for the nine months ended September 30 2007, compared to $1,740,487 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The change in net cash used in operating activities during 2007 was primarily due to higher overhead and legal and consulting fees, as compared to the same nine months of 2006.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,810,529 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $1,812,721 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
As of September 30, 2007, the Company’s principal source of liquidity was $184,878 in cash.
Plan of Operation and Cash Requirements
The Company currently does not have significant operating revenues from product sales or the performance of services and it continues to experience net operating losses. The Company is actively pursuing third party licensing agreements, collaboration agreements, distribution agreements and similar business arrangements in order to establish a revenue base utilizing its capabilities in disease diagnosis based on protein and biomarker identification, and drug resistance in the areas of cancers, neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases. The Company has undertaken clinical validation studies to demonstrate the diagnostic capabilities of its technologies. However, there can be no assurances that revenue-generating agreements will be in place in the next twelve months.
Absent a source of revenues, the Company will require funding in order to carry out its business plan until such time as it is able to generate sustained revenues. The Company’s current cash requirements are approximately $150,000 per month and the Company anticipates that it will require approximately $1,800,000 for the twelve months ended September 30, 2008, to continue its development activities, undertake and perform clinical validation studies, continue its marketing efforts and maintain its administrative infrastructure, as follows:
Estimated Expenditures Required
During Next Twelve Months
| | | | |
General and Administrative | | $ | 1,800,000 | |
Patent filings and intellectual property | | | 100,000 | |
Capital Expenditures and research agreements | | | 150,000 | |
Total | | $ | 2,050,000 | |
The foregoing is based upon the Company’s current estimated cash requirements. The Company has no significant capital expenditure requirements and does not plan to increase its monthly expenditure rate absent an increase in revenues or additional funding.
The Company will continue to require additional debt or equity financing for its operations, which may not be readily available. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is subject to its ability to generate a profit or obtain necessary funding from outside sources.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At September 30, 2007, the only off balance sheet agreements in place for the Company were a lease in effect for its office space, leases in effect for phone equipment, leases in effect for lab equipment and employment agreements entered with its three principal officers.
Critical Accounting Policies
Accounting for Derivative Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. These derivatives, including embedded derivatives in the Power3's structured borrowings, are separately valued and accounted for on the Power3's balance sheet. Fair values for exchange traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using market based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates.
20
Lattice Valuation Model
Power3 valued the conversion features in their convertible notes using a lattice valuation model, with the assistance of a valuation consultant. The lattice model values the embedded derivatives based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. This model is based on future projections of the five primary alternatives possible for settlement of the features included within the embedded derivative, including: (1) payments are made in cash, (2) payments are made in stock, (3) the holder exercises its right to convert the debentures, (4) Power3 exercises its right to convert the debentures and (5) Power3 defaults on the debentures. Power3 uses the model to analyze (a) the underlying economic factors that influence which of these events will occur, (b) when they are likely to occur, and (c) the common stock price and specific terms of the debentures such as interest rate and conversion price that will be in effect when they occur. Based on the analysis of these factors, Power3 uses the model to develop a set of potential scenarios. Probabilities of each scenario occurring during the remaining term of the debentures are determined based on management's projections. These probabilities are used to create a cash flow projection over the term of the debentures and determine the probability that the projected cash flow would be achieved. A discounted weighted average cash flow for each scenario is then calculated and compared to the discounted cash flow of the debentures without the compound embedded derivative in order to determine a value for the compound embedded derivative.
Black−Scholes Valuation Model
Power3 used the Black−Scholes pricing model to determine the fair values of its warrants. The model uses market sourced inputs such as interest rates, stock prices, and option volatilities, the selection of which requires management's judgment, and which may impact net income or loss. In particular, Power3 uses volatility rates based upon the closing stock price of Power3’s common stock. Power3 uses a risk free interest rate which is the U. S.Treasury bill rate for a security with a maturity that approximates the estimated expected life of the derivative or security.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report, and because of the errors and corrections identified by management with respect to the complex rules for accounting for share-based compensation and derivatives, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2007 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
Additional effort is needed to fully remedy our identified deficiencies as discussed below and we are continuing our efforts to improve and strengthen our control processes and procedures. Our management intends to continue to work with our auditors and other outside advisors, as appropriate, to develop and then apply our controls and procedures with the goal of achieving adequate and effective disclosure controls. We believe that with a properly planned, designed and implemented system of internal controls over financial reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures are expected to become effective.
There have been no significant changes in internal controls, or in factors that could significantly affect internal controls, subsequent to the date the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer completed their evaluation.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management made an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2007 and identified deficiencies related to expense recognition and disclosure control deficiencies related to transactions involving equity issuances and derivatives. The adjustment to expense and the footnote disclosure deficiencies were detected by our independent auditors during the review process and are appropriately corrected, recorded and disclosed in this quarterly reported on Form 10-QSB for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2007. Following a review of these deficiencies, management determined that we had incorrectly accounted for equity issuances and derivative valuations during such period. As a result, management
21
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Management concluded that the following three deficiencies were identified in our control process as of September 30, 2007:
·
We did not have adequate transaction controls over the accounting, review and processing of certain unusual or complex accounting transactions.
·
We did not have a systematic and documented program of internal controls and procedures over our accounting and financial reporting process to ensure that unusual or complex transactions are recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis in our financial disclosures.
·
There is a need for the improved supervision and training of our accounting staff.
Corrective Action
None.
Changes in Independent Auditors and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
On August 10, 2007, Malone & Bailey, P.C. was dismissed as the independent auditor for Power3 Medical Products, Inc. Malone & Bailey, P.C. has served as the independent auditor of the Power3's annual financial statements since the audit of the calendar year ended December 31, 2005 for the Power3’s financial statements. From the date on which Malone & Bailey, P.C. was engaged until the date they were dismissed, there were no disagreements with Malone & Bailey, P.C. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Malone & Bailey, P.C., would have caused Malone & Bailey, P.C. to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with any reports it would have issued, and there were no "reportable events" as that term is defined in Item 304(a) (1) (iv) of Regulation ;S-B.
Power3 provided Malone & Bailey, P.C. with a copy of the foregoing disclosure, and requested that Malone & Bailey, P.C. furnish Power3 with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agreed with such disclosure. Power3 filed as an Exhibit to the Form 8-K, a copy of the letter from Malone & Bailey, P.C. as required by Item 304 of Regulation S-B. On August 28, 2007, Malone & Bailey, P.C. provided a letter agreeing with the foregoing disclosure in Power3’s Form 8K-A filing.
On August 10, 2007, Power3 executed an engagement letter with McElravy, Kinchen & Associates, P.C. ("MKA") to assume the role of its new certifying accountant. MKA has been asked to perform the quarterly reviews of Power3 for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007.
During the periods ended December 31, 2005 through 2006 and the subsequent interim period ended March 31, 2007, and through the date of the firm's engagement, Power3 did not consult with MKA with regard to:
(i)
the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Power3's financial statements; or
(ii)
any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a) (1) (iv) of Regulation S-B.
The engagement of the new principal auditor was recommended and approved by the Board of Directors of Power3.
Other than the changes described above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
An equipment vendor filed a complaint, regarding equipment which the Company acquired in its May 18, 2004 transaction with Advanced BioChem, now known as Industrial Enterprises of America, and against Advanced BioChem in April of 2002 in a California court alleging breach of contract and seeking damages. Advanced BioChem reached a settlement agreement in April of 2003 under which Advanced BioChem would pay the vendor $40,000 in installments through August, 2003. At December 31, 2003, Advanced BioChem had a balance remaining of $20,000. In April 2005, the equipment vendor filed a lawsuit against Advanced BioChem, certain former officers of Advanced BioChem and against Power3 in order to enforce its claim for the remaining balance which is past due and may have been assumed by the Company as part of the settlement of the dispute with Advanced BioChem. Settlement negotiations are ongoing; however no resolution has been achieved thus far.
On September 12, 2005, Focus Partners LLC filed suit against David Zazoff and Power3 alleging that Power3 breached its agreement with Focus Partners in that it failed to issue stock to the Plaintiff according to the terms of their agreement, that the stock in question was issued to Zazoff and that Zazoff later sold the stock in question for $480,000. On October 3, 2007, this case was dismissed and Power3 settled for zero dollars.
Subsequently, on October 24, 2007, the Company settled an outstanding accounts payable with a vendor. A settlement agreement and release of all claims was agreed upon. The Company’s accounts payable will be reduced by $67,638.90. The settlement agreement and release of all claims can be found as an exhibit to this filing.
On October 28, 2005, Power3 received notice of a Petition to Enforce Foreign Judgment citation filed against the Company by KForce regarding an employment fee adjudicated in December, 2003 in the state of Florida against the Company, in the amount of $15,873, together with $4,735 in interest. Power3 does not agree with the Foreign Judgment and is attempting to resolve the issue prior to enforcement. No resolution has been achieved on this issue at this time; however the Company is endeavoring to resolve the petition. This debt is not recorded in accounts payable by the Company because it is the Company’s position that the judgment should never have been entered against Power3, but rather against a different corporate entity, not related to Power3 in any way, at this time. The Company’s attorney in this matter feels that no loss is probable, nor will the Company be obligated to pay any sums whatsoever on this matter. The Company has pled im proper party and expects to be vacated from the suit since it does not apply to the Company.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
During the quarter ended September 31, 2007, the Company did not issue any unregistered shares of common stock.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
The Company is in default under the provisions of its October, 2004 Securities Purchase Agreement, and accompanying registration rights agreement and debentures. The default stems from the Company’s inability to obtain effectiveness of the registration statement on Form SB-2, as amended (File No. 333-122227) filed pursuant to the registration rights agreement. The registration statement was withdrawn on June 20, 2007. During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company has settled with a number of its Convertible Debenture Holders as previously mentioned above.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to the security holders for a vote during the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
