We are focused on providing technology solutions for the anatomic pathology market. Our business model builds upon the expertise of experienced pathologists to provide seamless, reliable and comprehensive pathology and special test offerings to referring physicians using conventional and digital technologies. The pathologists with whom we contract seek to establish long-standing relationships with the referring physicians as a result of focused delivery of our diagnostic services, personalized responses and frequent consultations, and flexible information technology, or IT, solutions that are customizable to the referring physicians’ or laboratories as well as the pathologists’ needs.

Village Tea Company Distribution, Inc.
On October 16, 2014, AccelPath entered into an Securities Purchase Agreement with the common stock and preferred stock shareholders (the “Sellers”) of Village Tea Company Distribution, Inc. (“Village Tea”) holding seventy percent (70%) of common stock and all the Series A Preferred Stock of Village Tea. Village Tea, is a provider of environmentally-friendly exotic teas sourced directly from growers throughout Asia and Africa. Combining exquisite taste with extraordinary health benefits, the Company plans to create a niche presence in the tea market and provide its products through leading health food retail chains, major retailers, specialty shops and its own outlets. Upon the closing of the transaction on October 24, 2014, Village Tea became a majority-owned subsidiary of AccelPath. Accelpath issued 1,525 shares of a newly designated series of convertible preferred stock to the Sellers, Series J. The Series J Preferred Stock has a stated value per share equal to $1,000, shall pay an annual dividend of 10% in cash or common stock, and shall be convertible at the holder’s option, subject to beneficial ownership limitations, into shares of the common stock of Accelpath at a conversion price equal to eighty percent (80%) of the lowest closing bid price for the Common Stock during the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding a Conversion Date. Accelpath agreed to assume $538,500.00 worth of the debt obligations of Village Tea in connection with the Agreement. Management of Village Tea agreed to defer the dividend for the period ended December 31, 2014.
See our Form 8-K filed October 16. 2014 for more detail.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operations of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary AccelPath, its inactive now defunct wholly-owned subsidiary Genex, its 70% owned consolidated subsidiary, Village Tea and its 49% owned subsidiary Technest. Technest became inactive in the three months ending December 31, 2012. Technest previously conducted research and development in the field of computer vision technology and the Company has the right of first refusal to commercialize products resulting from this research and development. The Company’s former Chief Executive Officer beneficially owns 23% of Technest, an employee owns 23% and an unrelated a third party owns 5%. Technest is considered a variable interest entity (VIE) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.
The Company consolidates all entities in which the Company holds a “controlling financial interest.” For voting interest entities, the Company is considered to hold a controlling financial interest when the Company is able to exercise control over the investees’ operating and financial decisions. For variable interest entities (“VIEs”), the Company is considered to hold a controlling financial interest when it is determined to be the primary beneficiary. For VIEs, a primary beneficiary is a party that has both: (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact that entity's economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The determination of whether an entity is a VIE is based on the amount and characteristics of the entity's equity.
All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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, without being audited, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2015. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no recently issued accounting pronouncements that have had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2. GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY AND MANAGEMENT’S PLAN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company had a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $1,140,850 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $2,510,089 for the year ended June 30, 2014. Further, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,914,143 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,677,984 at December 31, 2014. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management is anticipating revenue growth through expansion of its customer base, and is also actively seeking financing through new and existing investors to fund operations. There is no assurance that the Company can reverse its net losses, or that the Company will be able to raise capital. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
3. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE
On October 7, 2013, the Circuit Court in the Second Judicial District for Leon County, Florida entered an order approving the stipulation of the parties (the "Stipulation") in the matter of ASC Recap LLC ("ASC") v. Accelpath, Inc. (the "Company"). Under the terms of the Stipulation, the Company agreed to issue to ASC, as settlement of certain liabilities owed by the Company in the aggregate amount of $1,537,455 (the "Claim Amount"), shares of common stock (the "Settlement Shares") as well as a promissory note in the principal amount of the $75,000.00 maturing six months from the date of issuance, as a fee to ASC ('Fee Note"). ASC had purchased the liabilities from the Company's creditors (both affiliated and non-affiliated) with a face amount of $1,537,455. The total amount of liabilities, as reported by the Company in this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, was $3,961,093, inclusive of the $1,612,455 representing the Claim Amount and the Fee Note.
Pursuant to the Stipulation entered into by the parties, the Company agreed to issue to ASC, in one or more tranches as necessary, that number of shares of common stock sufficient to generate net proceeds (less a discount of twenty five percent (25%)) equal to the Claim Amount, as defined in the Stipulation. The parties reasonably estimated that, should the Company issue Settlement Shares sufficient to satisfy the entire Claim Amount, the fair market value of such Settlement Shares and all other amounts to be received by ASC would equal approximately $2,145,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Stipulation, the number of shares beneficially owned by ASC shall not exceed 9.99% of the Company's outstanding common stock at any one time.
In connection with the issuance of the Settlement Shares, the Company may rely on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) under the Securities Act. To date, the Company has issued 59,697,000 Settlement Shares to ASC. All of these shares were issued after the balance sheet date. As such, the full Claim Amount remains outstanding and payable to ASC at December 31, 2014. Based upon the reported closing trading price of the Company's common stock on February 19, 2015 of $.0001 per share, if all $2,145,000 worth of liabilities were satisfied pursuant to the Stipulation through the issuance of common stock, the Company would issue an aggregate of 2,145,000,000 shares, excluding the 59,697,000 shares already issued.
As of the date of this filing, no proceeds from the sale of these shares have been used to repay creditors. At December 31, 2014, the value of the shares upon issuance is recorded as an Other current asset of $34,352.

During the current fiscal year, the Company has issued $180,000 of notes for consulting purposes and $115,000 in notes for cash.
The consulting notes are comprised of six $30,000 notes which mature between January 1, 2015 and October 1, 2015. They carry no interest and convert into common stock at a 50% discount to the low closing bid price over the prior thirty days
The notes for cash are comprised of six notes which convert into common stock at anywhere between a 42% and 50% discount to the prevailing market price. All notes mature before December 31, 2015.
Derivative Liability Feature on Notes Payable
Prior to the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year, for conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is based on a discount to the prevailing market value, the Company recorded a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) and related debt discount.
The BCF was recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. There would be an offsetting increase to Additional paid in capital as the BCF is deemed to be an increase to equity. The discount would be amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
Commencing with the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year, the Company reconsidered the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Classification 820 (‘FASB ASC 820” or “ASC 820”) and determined that newly issued debt were derivative financial instruments. As such, a derivative expense was recorded on the issuance of the debt as well as a quarterly mark to market
Interest Expense
Interest expense on notes payable, including amortization of the discount on the convertible notes and the accrual of the Original Issue Discount, was $292,464 and $167,932 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company has -0- outstanding shares of its Series E 5% Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company exchanged its remaining 100 shares of Series E Preferred Stock plus $14,282 of accrued dividends into a new Secured Note of $114,282. The Company accrued cash dividends payable of $-0- and $1,139 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

16
Series F
On September 7, 2012, the Company authorized 100 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, with a stated value of $1,000. The Series F Preferred is convertible into common stock at any time at the option of the holder. The number of shares of common stock into which one share of Series F Preferred is convertible is determined by (i) dividing $1,000 (the stated value) outstanding by the closing bid price on the trading day immediately prior to the date of the conversion notice (the “Conversion Price”), and (ii) multiplying by ten; provided that if the closing bid price on such trading day is less than $0.02 per share, then the Conversion Price shall be $0.02. Accordingly, the authorized 100 shares of Series F Preferred are currently convertible into 50,000,000 shares of common stock using a Conversion Price of $0.02.
On September 10, 2012, the Company issued 90 shares of its Series F Preferred Stock for the purchase price of $90,000 to certain existing investors of the Company. The 90 shares of Series F Preferred are currently convertible into 180,000 shares of common stock. The Company determined that there was a beneficial conversion feature of $360,000 for the issuance of the 90 shares of Series F Preferred Stock. The beneficial conversion feature was calculated based on the effective conversion price per share compared to the fair value per share of common stock on the commitment date. This resulted in a deemed dividend in the amount of $360,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Series G
On September 18, 2012, the Company authorized 1,250 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, with a stated value of $1,000. The Series G Preferred is convertible into common stock at any time at the option of the holder three months after the date of issuance. After five years from the date of issuance or upon a change of control, the Series G Preferred is automatically converted into shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock into which one share of Series G Preferred is convertible is determined by dividing $1,000 (the stated value) outstanding by the closing bid price on the trading day immediately prior to the date of the conversion notice (the “Conversion Price”); provided that if the closing bid price on such trading day is less than $0.02 per share, then the Conversion Price shall be $0.02. Accordingly, the authorized 1,250 shares of Series G Preferred are convertible into 62,500,000 shares of common stock at an assumed Conversion Price of $0.02. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, there was no Series G Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
Series H
The number, designation, rights, preferences and privileges of the Series H Preferred were established by the Board at a meeting on April 2, 2013. The designation, rights, preferences and privileges that the Board established for the Series H Preferred is set forth in a Certificate of Designation that was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on April 3, 2013. Among other things, the Certificate of Designation provides that each one share of Series H Preferred has voting rights equal to (x) 0.019607 multiplied by the total issued and outstanding Common Stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote (the "Numerator"), divided by (y) 0.49, minus (z) the Numerator.
At a meeting of the Board, the Board issued an aggregate of fifty one (51) shares of Series H Preferred to one individual, Shekhar Wadekar, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. As a result of the voting rights granted to the Series H Preferred, the Series H Stockholder holds in the aggregate approximately 50.9989% of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding voting capital of the Company
On March 21, 2014, ownership of the Series H Preferred was transferred to Mr. Steedley, our Chief Executive Officer.
Series I
As previously disclosed, on October 24, 2013, The Company and EIP entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization in which EIP was to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Company. On October 9, 2014 EIP gave notice to Accelpath of its intention to terminate the Agreement. As a result, the parties shall take all action required to unwind the transaction, including the return and surrender by The Company of the common stock its holds in EIP, and the return and surrender by EIP of its 3,500 shares of Series I Preferred Stock of The Company.

(“Village Tea”) holding seventy percent (70%) of common stock and all the Series A Preferred Stock of Village Tea.

9. OPTIONS, WARRANTS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
2011 Equity Incentive Plan
On March 4, 2011, the Board of Directors adopted the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan and reserved up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance to employees, directors and consultants, subject to stockholder approval. On February 17, 2012, the stockholders approved the plan. The plan also provides for automatic annual increases on January 1st of each year (commencing on January 1, 2012 and ending on January 1, 2021), in the aggregate number of shares reserved equal to the lesser of (a) five percent of the total number of shares outstanding on December 31st of the preceding year or (b) 3,000,000 shares. As of January 1, 2013, the number of shares reserved under the plan automatically increased to 56,000,000. Under the plan, the Board may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance stock awards, performance cash awards and other stock awards.
Valuation and amortization method. The fair value of each stock award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated fair value of employee stock options is amortized to expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period.
Volatility. The Company estimates volatility based on the Company’s historical volatility.
Risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant commensurate with the expected term assumption.
Expected term. The expected term of stock options granted is based on an estimate of when options will be exercised in the future. The Company applied the simplified method of estimating the expected term of the options, as described in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletins 107 and 110, as the Company has had a significant change in its business operations and the historical experience is not indicative of the expected behavior in the future. The expected term, calculated under the simplified method, is applied to groups of stock options that have similar contractual terms. Using this method, the expected term is determined using the average of the vesting period and the contractual life of the stock options granted.
Forfeitures. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded only for those awards that are expected to vest. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The term “forfeitures” is distinct from “cancellations” or “expirations” and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered option. An annual forfeiture rate of 0% was applied to all unvested options as of December 31, 2014 which was management’s best estimate. This analysis will be re-evaluated semi-annually and the forfeiture rate will be adjusted as necessary. Ultimately, the actual expense recognized over the vesting period will be for only those shares that vest.
The following weighted average assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model:
| | | | |
| | Three Months Ended December 31, 2014 | | Three Months Ended December 31, 2013 |
Risk-free interest rate | | 0.62% - 0.72% | | 0.90% - 0.96% |
Expected dividend yield | | − | | − |
Expected term | | 3.25 - 5.5 years | | 5.5 years |
Forfeiture rate | | 0% | | 0% |
Expected volatility | | 244.90% - 262.52% | | 122.33% - 124.91% |

Energy Innovative Products (“EIP”)
AccelPath and EIP entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated October 24, 2013, which would have resulted in EIP becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of AccelPath. On October 9, 2014 EIP gave notice to Accelpath of its intention to terminate the Agreement. As a result, the parties shall take all action required to unwind the transaction, including the return and surrender by Accelpath of the common stock its holds in EIP, and the return and surrender by EIP of its 3,500 shares of Series I Preferred Stock of AccelPath. Accelpath shall retire all shares of Series I Preferred Stock to treasury.
The Company accounts for its investment in EIP under the Cost method and includes it under the caption, Investment in Unconsolidated subsidiary. The Company evaluates its investment in EIP for impairment quarterly. While the termination of the transaction occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date, at the date of this report, we determined that the value of our Investment in EIP had no value. Thusly, we have written off our investment and subsequently reduced our Additional Paid-In Capital.
Village Tea Company Distribution, Inc.
On October 16, 2014, AccelPath entered into an Securities Purchase Agreement with the common stock and preferred stock shareholders (the “Sellers”) of Village Tea Company Distribution, Inc. (“Village Tea”) holding seventy percent (70%) of common stock and all the Series A Preferred Stock of Village Tea. Village Tea, is a provider of environmentally-friendly exotic teas sourced directly from growers throughout Asia and Africa. Combining exquisite taste with extraordinary health benefits, the Company plans to create a niche presence in the tea market and provide its products through leading health food retail chains, major retailers, specialty shops and its own outlets. Upon the closing of the transaction on October 24, 2014, Village Tea became a majority-owned subsidiary of AccelPath. Accelpath issued 1,525 shares of a newly designated series of convertible preferred stock to the Sellers, Series J. The Series J Preferred Stock has a stated value per share equal to $1,000, shall pay an annual dividend of 10% in cash or common stock, and shall be convertible at the holder’s option, subject to beneficial ownership limitations, into shares of the common stock of Accelpath at a conversion price equal to eighty percent (80%) of the lowest closing bid price for the Common Stock during the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding a Conversion Date. Accelpath agreed to assume the debt obligations of Village Tea in connection with the Agreement.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
On March 4, 2011, the Company acquired AccelPath, LLC and it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States generally require that a company whose security holders retain the majority voting interest in the combined business be treated as the acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes. The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby AccelPath, LLC was deemed to be the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the results of operations of the Company have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of the reverse acquisition.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses recorded during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience, where applicable and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our critical accounting policies and use of estimates are discussed in, and should be read in conjunction with, the annual consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014 as filed with the SEC.
Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a "smaller reporting company" as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
30
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2014. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, we and our management recognize that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective. As of December 30, 2013, based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls, the CEO and PFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
In light of the conclusion that our internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective as of December 31, 2014, we have applied procedures and processes as necessary to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting in regards to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, management believes, based on its knowledge, that: (i) this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading with respect to the periods covered by this report; and (ii) the financial statements, and other financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as at, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected. Under the supervision of our CEO and PFO, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014 using the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014, we determined that control deficiencies existed that constituted material weaknesses, as described below:
1.
lack of documented policies and procedures;
2.
inadequate resources dedicated to the financial reporting function; and
3.
ineffective separation of duties due to limited staff.
Subject to the Company’s ability to obtain financing and hire additional employees, the Company expects to be able to design and implement effective internal controls in the future that address these material weaknesses.
Accordingly, we concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the Company's internal controls.
As a result of the material weaknesses described above, our CEO and PFO have concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Under the terms of the Agreement, 3D-ID is to make quarterly written reports to the Company within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter, detailing the basis for the royalty payments as a result of the sales during the previous quarter. The Company has received no reports from 3D-ID as required under the Agreement.
