IDO SECURITY INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - GENERAL
IDO Security Inc. (hereinafter, “IDO” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 23, 2004 and is engaged in the design, development and marketing of a footwear scanning device (SSD) for the homeland security and loss prevention markets that are intended for use in security screening procedures and are designed to detect concealed metallic objects on or in footwear, ankles and feet through the use of electro-magnetic fields. These devices were designed specifically for applications in the security screening and detection market to complement the current detection methods for detecting metallic items during security screenings at security checkpoints in venues such as airports, prisons, schools, stadiums and other public locations requiring individual security screening. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IDO and IDO Security Ltd. (“IDO Ltd.”), its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively the “Company”).
IDO was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 23, 2004 under the name “The Medical Exchange, Inc.” On July 25, 2006, IDO Ltd. and the holders of all of the issued and outstanding share capital of IDO Ltd. (collectively the “IDO Selling Shareholders”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which The Medical Exchange Inc. (“Med Ex”) agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding share capital of IDO Ltd. (the “Acquisition Transaction”). On March 8, 2007, the Acquisition Transaction was consummated. Following the consummation of the Acquisition Transaction, IDO Ltd. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Med Ex and Med Ex adopted the business of IDO Ltd. In June 2007, Med Ex changed its name to “IDO Security Inc.”
IDO conducts its principal design and production operations in Israel and revenues are derived principally from shipments to customers in the United States as well as Asian and European countries.
On December 16, 2011 the Company implemented a reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock and preferred stock at a ratio of 1-for-3,000 shares and the Company’s authorized but unissued capital was proportionately reduced. All share figures and results are reflected on a post-split basis. See Note 9.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. At December 31, 2011, the Company had not achieved profitable operations, had accumulated losses of $44.7 million (since inception), a working capital deficiency of $19.6 million and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations or management’s ability to find sources of equity capital. The Company needs to raise significant funds on an immediate basis in order to continue to meet its liquidity needs, realize its business plan and maintain operations. The Company’s current cash resources are not sufficient to support its operations as presently conducted or permit it to take advantage of business opportunities that may arise. Management of the Company is continuing its efforts to secure funds through equity and/or debt instruments for its operations. Presently, the Company does not have any financing commitment from any person, and there can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company on commercially acceptable terms or at all.
The Company has been funding its operations from the net proceeds from the private placements of its convertible securities. From December 2007 through December 2011, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $5.9 million from the proceeds of the private placement to certain accredited investors of its 10% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes, Convertible Preferred Stock and Bridge Loans. See Notes 7 and 8 below.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in implementing a business plan or that the successful implementation of a business plan will actually improve the Company’s operating results.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IDO Ltd., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less at the date acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2011. Cash equivalents consist of a money market account at December 31, 2010.
Use of Estimates
These financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Company continually evaluates the accounting policies and estimates we use to prepare the consolidated financial statements. The Company bases its estimates on historical experiences and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management.
Functional Currency
The majority of Company’s sales are in United States dollars. In addition, the majority of the Company’s investing and financing activities are in United States dollars. Accordingly, the Company has determined the United States dollar as the currency of its primary economic environment and thus, its functional and reporting currency. Non-dollar transactions and balances have been measured in United States dollars in accordance with FASB ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters.” All transaction gains and losses from the measurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies are reflected in the statement of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the product to the customer, subject to the following criteria: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the selling price is fixed and determinable and (iii) no significant obligations remain to the Company and collection of the related receivable is reasonable assured. When the above stated revenue recognition criteria are not met, the Company will record deferred revenue.
Warranties
The Company accounts for its warranties under the FASB ASC 450 “Contingencies.” The Company generally warrants that its products are free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of initial acceptance by our customers. The warranty does not cover any losses or damage that occurs as a result of improper installation, misuse or neglect or repair or modification by anyone other than the Company or its authorized repair agent. The Company’s policy is to accrue anticipated warranty costs based upon historical percentages of items returned for repair within one year of the initial sale. The Company’s repair rate of products under warranty has been minimal, and a historical percentage has not been established. The Company has not provided for any reserves for such warranty liability.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Cash:
The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in various financial institutions in the United States and Israel which, at times, may be in excess of insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Revenue:
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, shipments to China accounted for 37% and 39% of the Company’s revenue, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories, consisting of completed devices, devices partially completed and components are valued at the lower of cost determined by the moving-average basis or market. The value of the inventories is adjusted for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.
Inventories at December 31, 2011 consisted of components totaling $157,285 and partially completed and completed devices totaling $155,568. Inventories at December 31, 2010 consisted of components totaling $81,972 and partially completed and completed devices totaling $206,339.
Accounts Receivable
Under the terms of sale, customers must pay for the merchandise before delivery. As such, there were no accounts receivable at December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from three to ten years. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
Goodwill
Goodwill consists of the excess of cost over net assets acquired of IDO Ltd. on March 8, 2007. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested at least annually for impairment, or if circumstances change that will more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company tests goodwill for impairment using a market based model. The Company performs annual impairment testing on a recurring basis in the last quarter of each year. Impairments, if any, are expensed in the year incurred. The Company did not record an impairment in 2011. In 2010, the results of the impairment analysis indicated that the carrying value of goodwill exceeded the fair value. Therefore, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $740,000 in 2010.
Research and Development
Costs incurred in connection with the research and development of the Company’s products is expensed as incurred.
Advertising and Marketing
The Company recognizes advertising and marketing expenses in the period incurred. Advertising amounted to $7,472 and $48,411 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Severance Pay
The Company’s subsidiary liability for severance pay is calculated pursuant to Israeli severance pay law based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment as of balance sheet date. Employees are entitled to one month’s salary for each year of employment, or a portion thereof (on a pro-rata basis). Such liability in Israel is fully provided by monthly deposits in accordance with insurance policies and by an accrual. The deposited funds include profits accumulated through December 31, 2011. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to Israeli severance pay law or labor agreements. The value of the deposited funds is based on the cash surrendered value of these policies, and includes immaterial profits.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. Under the fair value recognition provision of the ASC, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model.
Earnings (loss) per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share give effect to dilutive convertible securities, options, warrants and other potential Common Stock outstanding during the period, only in periods in which such effect is dilutive. The following securities have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per share, as their effect would be anti-dilutive:
| | Shares of Common Stock | |
| | Issuable upon Conversion/Exercise | |
| | of as | |
| | December 31 | |
| | 2011 | | | 2010 | |
Warrants | | | 13,988 | | | | 8,745 | |
Convertible notes | | | 18,093 | | | | 15,839 | |
Stock options | | | 1,163 | | | | 1,163 | |
Convertible preferred stock | | | 29,268 | | | | 17,378 | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Substantially all of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting primarily of cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses, other current liabilities and convertible notes, are carried at, or approximate, fair value because of their short-term nature or because they carry market rates of interest.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted Accounting Statement Update (“ASU”) 2009-13 (“ASU 2009-13”), “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements,” which eliminates the residual method of allocation, and instead requires companies to use the relative selling price method when allocating revenue in a multiple deliverable arrangement. When applying the relative selling price method, the selling price for each deliverable shall be determined using vendor specific objective evidence of selling price, if it exists and otherwise using third-party evidence of selling price. If neither vendor specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence of selling price exists for a deliverable, companies shall use their best estimate of the selling price for that deliverable when applying the relative selling price method. The adoption of the provisions of ASU 2009-13 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted ASU 2010-17 (“ASU 2010-17”), “Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition.” The amendments in this Update are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of the provisions of ASU 2010-17 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-05 (“ASU 2011-05”), “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2011-05 provides that an entity that reports items of other comprehensive income has the option to present comprehensive income in either one continuous financial statement or two consecutive financial statements. ASU 2011-05 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect ASU 2011-05 to have any impact on its financial position and results of operations.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08 (“ASU 2011-08”), “Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” This update simplifies the assessment of goodwill for impairment by allowing companies to consider qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount before performing the two step impairment review process. It also amends the examples of events or circumstances that would be considered in a goodwill impairment evaluation. The Company has elected to early adopt this update to be effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011. The Company’s annual goodwill impairment test is conducted in the fourth quarter. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Subsequent Events
Management has reviewed subsequent events through the date of the filing.

(i) 10% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes
Between December 5, 2007 and January 24, 2008, the Company raised gross proceeds of $5,404,550 from the private placement to certain accredited institutional and individual investors (the “2008 Investors”) of its 10% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (collectively, the “2008 Notes”, each a ”2008 Note”). The transactions were effected pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, dated as of December 5, 2007 between the Company and the 2008 Investors. The Company received net proceeds of $1 million from the proceeds of the 2008 Notes.
In connection with the issuance of the 2008 Notes, the Company issued to the 2008 Investors, warrants (the “2008 Investor Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,802 post-split shares of the Company’s Common Stock, of which warrants for 901 post-split shares are exercisable at a per share exercise price of $6,000 and warrants for 901 post-split shares are exercisable at a per share exercise price of $9,000. The per share exercise price of the 2008 Investor Warrants were subsequently reduced to $450 in connection with the investment in December 2008 Notes discussed below in (ii).
The 2008 Notes were originally convertible into shares of Common Stock at the holder’s option at any time at an initial conversion price of $3,000 per share (the “Fixed Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment in the event of certain capital adjustments or similar transactions, such as a stock split or merger and as further described below. Interest on the 2008 Notes accrues at the rate of 10% per annum and is payable upon a required monthly repayment or upon maturity, whichever occurs first, and will continue to accrue until the 2008 Notes are fully converted and/or paid in full.
Commencing on the fourth month anniversary of the issuance of the 2008 Notes and on the same day of each month thereafter until the principal amount of the 2008 Notes has been paid in full, the Company was required to prepay 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2008 Notes originally issued, together with all accrued interest due and payable on the entire outstanding amount up to such repayment date (each such date, a “Scheduled Payment Date”).
The 2008 Notes, originally scheduled to mature in December 2009 and subsequently extended to December 31, 2010, were further extended in January 2011 to December 31, 2011 and all existing defaults were waived. All but one holder agreed to the extension and also agreed to waive all then existing defaults. The sole non-consenting investor’s note was paid out in accordance with its terms in shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In consideration of the extension of the maturity dates, on May 10, 2011, the Company issued shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) with a stated value equal to 10% of the principal amount of the 2008 Notes then held by such investors. The non-payment of the outstanding balance of these notes upon maturity on December 31, 2011 constituted an Event of Default under the transaction documents with the 2008 Investors. The pertinent documents provide that any action by the investors upon such default (i.e., acceleration of the debt and other remedies) can only be initiated by the holders of 65% or more of the outstanding principal amount of the notes, representing the requisite Majority in Interest under the transaction documents. Such action has not been commenced by the note holders. Additionally, in April 2012, the requisite Majority in Interest waived all existing Events of Default through June 30, 2012.
To secure the Company’s obligations to the 2008 Investors, the Company granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets, including without limitation, its intellectual property. The security interest terminates upon payment or satisfaction of all of Company’s obligations under the 2008 Notes.
For financial reporting purposes, the Company recorded a discount of $4,141,838 to reflect the value of the 2008 Investor Warrants issued and an additional discount of $658,219 to reflect the beneficial conversion feature of the 2008 Notes. As discussed above, the term of the 2008 Notes were modified. As a result, all of the remaining unamortized discounts were expensed.
The Company undertook to file a registration statement by a prescribed period under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Registration Statement”) with respect to the resale of the Common Stock underlying the 2008 Notes and 2008 Investor Warrants. The Company has not filed the Registration Statement and accordingly, the Company owed to the holders of these notes approximately $540,000 in liquidated damages in respect of the delay in the filing of the Registration Statement beyond the time frame specified in the agreements with such holders. At March 31, 2011, the Company owed to the holders of these notes $516,137 in liquidated damages. The non-payment of liquidated damages constitutes an Event of Default under the 2008 Notes. The pertinent documents provide that any action by the investors upon such default (i.e., acceleration of the debt and other remedies) can only be initiated by the holders of 65% or more of the outstanding principal amount of the notes. Such action has not been commenced by the note holders. The Company does not currently intend to file such registration statement as the shares issuable upon conversion of the 2008 Notes and/or the 2008 Investor Warrants are eligible to be resold under Rule 144.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, principal in the amount of $1,164,865 and accrued interest totaling $595,222 was repaid in the form of 6.8 million post-split shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
(ii) Secured Convertible Promissory Note and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
Pursuant to an offering dated October 31, 2008 (the “December 2008 Private Placement”) to the holders of the 2008 Notes, on December 17, 2008, the Company realized net proceeds of $548,474, after the payment of offering related fees and expenses of $19,250, from a private placement of $1,066,540 in principal amount of Secured Convertible Promissory Notes due April 20, 2010 (“collectively the “December 2008 Notes”) and 8.9 post-split shares of Series A Preferred. In addition, in connection with the issuance of the December 2008 Notes and the Series A Preferred, the Company issued to the investors warrants (the “Warrants”; together with the December 2008 Notes and the Series A Preferred, the “Purchased Securities”) to purchase in the aggregate up to 2,370 post-split shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a per share exercise price equal to $750. The Warrants are exercisable through October 31, 2013 at a per share exercise price of $750. The warrants include a ‘cashless exercise’ provision. The amount raised included $478,816 in principal and accreted interest on loans advanced to the Company between April and November 2008 by two purchasers that were offset against such purchasers’ respective purchases of the Purchased Securities.
For financial reporting purposes, the Company recorded a discount of $845,743 to reflect the value of the Warrants and Series A Preferred issued and an additional discount of $220,797 to reflect the beneficial conversion feature of the December 2008 Notes. The discounts are being amortized to the date of maturity unless converted earlier.
The December 2008 Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at the holder’s option at any time at an initial conversion price of $450 per share (the “Fixed Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment in the event of certain capital adjustments or similar transactions, such as a stock split or merger and as further described below. Interest on the December 2008 Notes accrues at the rate of 10% per annum and is payable upon a required repayment (discussed below) or upon maturity, whichever occurs first, and will continue to accrue until the December 2008 Notes are fully converted and/or paid in full. From and after an event of default under the December 2008 Notes and for so long as the event of default is continuing, the December 2008 Notes will bear default interest at a rate of the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
Commencing on April 30, 2009, and thereafter on the last day of each subsequent calendar month until the principal amount of the December 2008 Notes has been paid in full, the Company is required to prepay 8.33% of the aggregate principal amount of the December 2008 Notes originally issued, together with all accrued interest due and payable on the entire outstanding amount up to such repayment date. The amount may be paid, at the Company’s election, either in (i) cash, at 110% of the principal amount due and 100% of all other amounts due or (ii) shares of Common Stock as defined; provided, that, if such monthly amount is to be paid with shares of Common Stock, it will be automatically deferred unless the holder gives notice to the Company at least five (5) days before a repayment date that the holder will accept payment of such monthly amount in the form of Common Stock.
The Company’s obligations under the December 2008 Notes are secured by a security interest in substantially all of its assets pursuant to a prior Security Agreement dated as of December 24, 2007 between it and the purchasers of the 2008 Notes.
Holders of the Purchased Securities are subject to certain limitations on their rights to convert the securities. The principal limitation is that the holder may not, with certain limited exceptions, convert into a number of shares that would, together with other shares held by the holder, exceed 4.99% or 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of the Company after such conversion and/or exercise.
The December 2008 Notes were scheduled to mature on April 30, 2010. However, in March 2010, the holders of approximately 72% of the outstanding principal amount of the December 2008 Notes extended the maturity date of the December 2008 Notes to December 31, 2010. In consideration of the extension, on May 4, 2010, the Company issued 745 shares of Series A Preferred Stock with a stated value equal to 10% of the principal amount of the December 2008 Notes then held by such investors. With respect to the remaining 28% of the principal amount of the December 2008 Notes who did not agree to the extension of the maturity date, the Company issued 43,000 post-split shares of the Company’s Common Stock, in full satisfaction of principal and accrued interest of $69,660. In January 2011, the holders agreed to a further extension of the maturity dates to December 31, 2011 and a waiver of all existing defaults. In consideration of the extension of the maturity dates, on May 10, 2011, the issued shares of Series A Preferred with a stated value equal to 10% of the principal amount of the December 2008 Notes then held by such investors.
The non-payment of the outstanding balance of these notes upon maturity on December 31, 2011 constituted an Event of Default under the transaction documents. The pertinent documents provide that any action by the investors upon such default (i.e., acceleration of the debt and other remedies) can only be initiated by the holders of 65% or more of the outstanding principal amount of the notes, representing the requisite Majority in Interest under the transaction documents. Such action has not been commenced by the note holders. Additionally, in April 2012, the requisite Majority in Interest waived all existing Events of Default through June 30, 2012.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, principal in the amount of $136,692 and accrued interest totaling $88,147 was repaid in the form of 224,839 post-split shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
(iii) 2009 - 2012 Notes and Series A Preferred
In April 2009, the holders of the 2008 Notes and the December 2008 Notes consented to the placement of secured convertible promissory notes (the “2009 Notes”), Series A Preferred and warrants, all on the substantive terms identical to those prevailing with respect to the December 2008 Private Placement discussed at further length in Note 7(ii) above, for aggregate gross proceeds to not exceed $1.5 million. Between April 28, 2009 and December 31, 2009, the Company raised net proceeds of $1,332,500 ($100,000 was rolled over from the 2008 financing) from the private placement to certain holders of the December 2008 Notes of $1,432,500 in principal amount of 2009 Notes and 35,814 shares of Series A Preferred. Commencing on the six month anniversary date of the 2009 Notes, and on the same day of each subsequent calendar month thereafter until the principal amount of the 2009 Notes has been paid in full, the Company is required to prepay 8.33% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2009 Notes originally issued, together with all accrued interest due and payable on the entire outstanding amount up to such repayment date.
In connection with such investment, the Company issued to the holders of the 2009 Notes, warrants to purchase in the aggregate up to 3,183 post-split shares of the Company’s common stock at per share exercise price equal to $750. The warrants are exercisable through the fifth anniversary of issuance. Proceeds of these funds were used to fund the Company’s continuing operations.
For financial reporting purposes, the Company recorded a discount of $1,024,732 to reflect the value of the Warrants and Series A Preferred issued. The estimated value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model under the following assumptions: life of 5 years, risk free interest rate of 2.41% - 2.71%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 135%. The discounts are being amortized to the date of maturity unless converted earlier.
In January 2010, March 2010 and May 2010, the Company raised net proceeds of $318,940, which included the repayment of certain accrued expenses, from the private placement to certain holders of the December 2008 Notes (the “2010 Notes”). The Company issued $318,940 in principal amount of 2010 Notes and 2.7 post-split shares of Series A Preferred. Commencing on the six month anniversary date of the 2010 Notes, and on the same day of each subsequent calendar month thereafter until the principal amount of the 2010 Notes has been paid in full, the Company is required to prepay 8.33% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2010 Notes originally issued, together with all accrued interest due and payable on the entire outstanding amount up to such repayment date.
In connection with such investment, the Company issued to the holders of the 2010 Notes, warrants to purchase in the aggregate up to 709 post-split shares of the Company’s common stock at per share exercise price equal to $750. The warrants are exercisable through the fifth anniversary of issuance. Proceeds of these funds were used to fund the Company’s continuing operations.
For financial reporting purposes, the Company recorded a discount of $227,889 to reflect the value of the Warrants and Series A Preferred issued. The estimated value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model under the following assumptions: life of 5 years, risk free interest rate of 2.16% - 2.30%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 135%. The discounts are being amortized to the date of maturity unless converted earlier.
In January 2011, all but one holder of the 2009 Notes and the holders of the 2010 Notes extended the maturity dates of the Notes to December 31, 2011 and waived all existing defaults. In consideration of the extension of the maturity dates, on May 10, 2011, the Company issued shares of Series A Preferred with a stated value equal to 10% of the principal amount of the 2009 Notes and 2010 Notes then held by such investors. The 2009 Note in the principal amount of $75,000 held by the sole non-consenting holder was paid out in the form of one billion shares in September 2011.
The non-payment of the outstanding balance of these notes upon maturity on December 31, 2011 constitutes an Event of Default under the transaction documents. The pertinent documents provide that any action by the investors upon such default (i.e., acceleration of the debt and other remedies) can only be initiated by the holders of 65% or more of the outstanding principal amount of the notes. Such action has not been commenced by the note holders. See Item (iv) below..
For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company raised $2,359,134 which includes $1,456,880 of rolled over notes payable and accrued interest in addition to $902,254 of new invested capital, from four holders of the December 2008 Notes (the “2011 Notes”). The Company issued $2,359,134 in principal amount of 2011 Notes and 19.7 post-split shares of Series A Preferred. Commencing on the six month anniversary date of the 2011 Notes, and on the same day of each subsequent calendar month thereafter until the principal amount of the 2011 Notes has been paid in full, the Company is required to prepay 8.33% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2011 Notes originally issued, together with all accrued interest due and payable on the entire outstanding amount up to such repayment date.
In connection with such investments, the Company issued to the holders of the 2011 Notes, warrants to purchase in the aggregate up to 5,242 post-split shares of the Company’s Common Stock at per share exercise price equal to $750. The warrants are exercisable through the fifth anniversary of issuance. Proceeds of these funds were used to fund the Company’s continuing operations.
For financial reporting purposes, the Company recorded a discount of $1,685,502 to reflect the value of the Warrants and Series A Preferred issued. The estimated value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model under the following assumptions: life of 5 years, risk free interest rate of 0.86% - 1.97%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 135%. The discounts are being amortized to the date of maturity unless converted earlier.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, principal in the amount of $75,000 and accrued interest totaling $28,797 was repaid in the form of 461,319 post-split shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
For the period January 1, 2012 through April 5, 2012, the Company raised $254,370 from holders of the December 2008 Notes and one new investor (the “2012 Notes”). The Company issued $254,370 in principal amount of 2012 Notes and 2.1227 post-split shares of Series A Preferred. The terms of the 2012 Notes are substantially the same as the other Notes issued. In connection with such investments, the Company issued to the holders of the 2012 Notes, warrants to purchase in the aggregate up to 565 post-split shares of the Company’s Common Stock at per share exercise price equal to $750. The warrants are exercisable through the fifth anniversary of issuance. Proceeds of these funds were used to fund the Company’s continuing operations.
(iv) Priority of Payments of Notes
The holders of approximately 74% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes have agreed that Notes issued after December 15, 2011 (“New Notes”) shall be accorded first lien priority in the collateral (as defined) and that any repayment obligations currently owing on Notes issued on or before October 26, 2011 shall be subordinated to the repayment obligations incurred by the Company in connection with the New Notes. The consenting holders represent more than the requisite Majority in Interest required under the transaction documents for this matter, and accordingly their agreement is binding upon all note holders.
(v) Waiver of Existing Defaults
In April 2012, the holders of approximately 67% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes representing the Majority in Interest under the transaction documents, waived all existing Events of Default through June 30, 2012, including those associated with past due maturity dates on certain 2008 Notes, December 2008 Notes, 2009 Notes, 2010 Notes and 2011 Notes were extended to June 30, 2012.
(vi) Maturities of Convertible Promissory Notes

NOTE 9 - STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIENCY
Authorized Shares
The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to issue from time to time up to 6,667 post-split shares of preferred stock in one or more series, and to fix for each such series such voting power and such designations, preferences, relative participating or other rights, redemption rights, conversion privileges and such qualifications or restrictions thereof as shall be adopted by the board and set forth in an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. Unless a vote of any shareholders is required pursuant to the rights of the holders of preferred stock then outstanding, the board may from time to time increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series outstanding) the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series.
On November 10, 2010, a majority of the Company’s stockholders authorized, at the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors, an increase the number of shares of Common Stock to 20,000,000 post-split shares. The increase became effective on December 23, 2010.
On December 16, 2011 the Company implemented a reverse stock split of its outstanding common and preferred stock at a ratio of 1-for-3,000 shares. In connection with the reverse stock split, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation was amended such that the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock and the Series A Preferred, as well as the Company’s authorized but unissued capital, was proportionately reduced.
Stock Issuances
Common Stock
At various times in 2011 and 2010, a total of 8.066 million and 517,000 post-split shares of common stock, respectively, were issued in connection with the conversion of principal and accrued interest on convertible securities. See Note 8.
In 2011, the Company issued 7.817 million post-split shares of common stock upon the conversion of 7 post-split shares of Series A Preferred.
In 2010, the Company issued 486,392 post-split shares of common stock upon the conversion of 2.6 post-split shares of Series A Preferred.
In May 2010, the Company issued 1,333 post-split shares of its common stock as compensation to a consultant.
Convertible Preferred Stock
The Series A Preferred Stock was authorized in accordance with a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Preferred filed with the Nevada Secretary of State. In December 2011, in connection with a reverse stock split described above, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation was amended to decrease the number of shares of preferred stock designated as Series A Preferred to 66.6667 shares. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, 37.2 and 20.8 post-split shares, respectively, of Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.
From January 2010 through May 2010, in connection with the issuance of the 2010 Notes more fully discussed above in Note 8(iii), the Company issued 4.3 post-split shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
For financial reporting purposes, the Company recorded a discount to reflect the difference between the stated value of the shares issued and the fair value of the shares issued. The discount is being amortized to the redemption dates unless converted earlier.
In July 2010, 2.6 post-split shares of Series A Preferred were converted into 486,392 post-split shares of common stock.
As discussed in Note 8(i), the 2008 Notes matured on December 31, 2009 without being paid out in accordance with the terms of the Notes. In March 2010, certain holders of the 2008 Notes extended the maturity date of the 2008 Notes to December 31, 2010. In consideration of these actions, on May 4, 2010, the Company issued 1.34 post-split shares of Series A Preferred with a stated value equal to 10% of the principal amount of the 2008 Notes then held by such investors.
As discussed in Note 8(ii), in March 2010, certain holders of the December 2008 Notes extended the maturity dates of the December 2008 Notes to December 31, 2010. In consideration of the extension, on May 4, 2010, the Company issued .25 post-split shares of Series A Preferred with a stated value equal to 10% of the principal amount of the December 2008 Notes then held by such investors.
As discussed in Note 8, in January 2011, substantially all of the holders of the 2008 Notes, the December 2008 Notes, and the 2009 and 2010 Notes extended the maturity dates of all of the notes to December 31, 2011. In consideration of the extensions, the Company obligated itself to issue shares of Series A Preferred with a stated value equal to 10% of the principal amount of the Notes then held by such investors. The Company issued 2.08 post-split shares of Series A Preferred were issued to these investors.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, in connection with the issuances of notes payable, the Company issued 19.7 post-split shares of Series A Preferred. For the period January 1, 2012 through April 5, 2012, the Company issued 2.1227 post-split shares of Series A Preferred in connection with the issuances of notes payable. See Note 8(iii).
For the year ended December 31, 2011, 7 post-split shares of Series A Preferred totaling $2,105,134 and accrued dividends totaling $105,772 were converted into 7.817 million shares of the Company’s common stock.
Shares of Preferred Stock have not been registered and are restricted under the securities laws and pay a dividend of 10% per annum on the stated value. So long as the Series A Preferred is outstanding, unless waived by the holders of 66 2/3% of the Series A Preferred then outstanding, the dividend rate shall increase to 15%. In addition, shares of the Series A Preferred do not vote separately as a class (but do vote on an “as-converted” to common stock basis) and have a liquidation preference equal to the stated value of the shares. Each share of Preferred Stock has a stated post-split value of $300,000 and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $450 per share. The dividends are cumulative commencing on the issue date whether or not declared. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company declared dividends totaling $1,040,540 and $659,003, respectively. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, dividends payable total $2,024,496 and $1,089,724, respectively, and are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Commencing on April 30, 2009, and thereafter on the last day of each subsequent calendar month, the Company is required to redeem 8.33% of the aggregate outstanding stated value of the Series A Preferred until the stated value and all accrued dividends have been paid in full. Redemption payments on the Series A Preferred may be made, at the election of the Company, in cash or shares of common stock, in the same manner as provided above with respect to the December 2008 Notes, subject to automatic deferral in the case of payment in shares unless the holder gives notice to the Company of such holder’s agreement to accept payment in shares. As a result of the redemption provisions, the Series A Preferred was not classified as permanent equity. The maturities on the Series A Preferred are $3,364,965 past due that were payable in 2009 and 2010 and $3,099,904 payable in 2011, $4,510,439 payable in 2012 and $170,833 payable in 2013.
Commencing on July 1, 2009, the Series A Preferred has been classified as a liability. As such, all dividends accrued and/or paid and any accretions will now be classified as part of interest expense and will no longer be classified as preferred stock dividends and deemed dividends. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, dividends and deemed dividends totaled $3,593,275 and $3,174,284, respectively, and such amount has been included in interest expense.
Derivative Liabilities
In connection with the issuances of equity instruments or debt, the Company may issue options or warrants to purchase common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as liabilities, rather than as equity. In addition, the equity instrument or debt may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options or listing requirements, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative liability instrument. The Company accounts for derivative liability instruments under the provisions of FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”
The Company issued warrants, Series A Preferred and Notes under various private placements. As of July 21, 2010, due to the various issuances, the Company did not have enough available shares of authorized Common Stock to issue to the various security holders had all of the convertible securities been converted and/or exercised. As a result, the value of the warrants have to be recognized as a liability. In addition, the Company evaluated the conversion terms of the Notes and Series A Preferred Stock to determine if such terms gave rise to embedded derivatives that would need to be accounted for separately. The Company determined that the lack of authorized shares (prior to the effectiveness of the increase) to satisfy the conversion requirements if all of the securities were converted resulted in the conversion features being embedded derivatives that must be bifurcated and recorded as derivative liabilities. In addition, the Company would be required to revalue the derivative liabilities at the end of each reporting period with the change in value reported on the statement of operations. The Company did not account for the derivative liabilities in its financial statements as it was determined to not be material. On November 10, 2010, a majority of the Company’s stockholders authorized, at the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors, an increase the number of post-split shares of common stock to 20,000,000. The increase became effective as of December 23, 2010.
Stock Option Plans
On November 15, 2007, the Company adopted the Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP”) for employees and consultants initially reserving for issuance 1,000 post-split shares of common stock and the 2007 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan “(SOP”) for non-employee initially reserving for issuance 333 post-split shares of common stock. On December 24, 2009, Company’s Board of Directors and the majority of Company’s stockholders amended the EIP to increase the number of post-split shares of common stock issuable from 1,000 to 33,333 and to amend the SOP to increase the number of post-split shares of common stock issuable from 333 to 16,667.

Due to the uncertainty of their realization, no income tax benefit has been recorded by the Company for these loss carry forwards as valuation allowances have been established for any such benefits. The increase in the valuation allowance was the result of increases in the above stated items.
At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits and no adjustments to liabilities or operations were required. The Company does not expect that its unrecognized tax benefits will materially increase within the next twelve months. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expense. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we have not recorded any provisions for accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
IDO has not filed its U.S. federal returns since its inception. Due to recurring losses, management believes that once such returns are filed, the Company would not incur an income tax liability. By statute, as IDO has not filed its federal returns, all such years remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which it is subject.
IDO Ltd. has filed its Israeli income tax returns through 2010. By statute, the Israeli income tax returns of IDO Ltd. for the years 2008 through 2011 remain open to examination.
