National Health Partners, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2010
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Description of Business
National Health Partners, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized on March 10, 1989 as “Spectrum Vision Systems of Indiana, Inc.” under the laws of the State of Indiana. The Company changed its name to “National Health Partners, Inc.” on March 13, 2001.
The Company sells membership programs that encompass all aspects of healthcare, including physicians, hospitals, ancillary services, dentists, prescription drugs and vision care through a national healthcare savings network called “CARExpress.” The Company derives almost all of its revenue from the monthly membership fees it receives from its members. It markets its programs through a direct sales force, brokers and agents, unions and associations, chambers of commerce, and a variety of other organizations. The Company typically pays these organizations commissions on the sale price of the membership programs. These organizations typically offer and sell the Company’s membership programs on a part-time basis and may engage in other related or unrelated business activities, including selling the p roducts or services of the Company’s competitors. The Company’s agreements with these organizations are generally for a term of one year and renew automatically for additional one-year terms unless written notice of termination is delivered by either party to the other at least 30 days prior to the then-current term.
The Company contracts with preferred provider organizations and other provider networks for access to the discounted rates they have negotiated with their healthcare providers. The principal suppliers of the healthcare providers that comprise CARExpress are CareMark, Aetna, Optum, Outlook Vision, Integrated Health, Three Rivers and HealthFi. The Company selects and utilizes only those provider networks that it believes can deliver adequate savings to its members while providing adequate support for its membership programs with the healthcare providers. It typically pays a per member per month fee for use of the provider networks that is determined in part based on the number of providers participating in the network, the number of members accessing the network, and the particular products or services offered by the prov iders. The Company’s agreements with the provider networks are generally for a term of between one and two years, may be terminated by either party on between 45 and 180 days’ prior written notice, and renew automatically for additional terms unless so terminated. Most of these agreements are non-exclusive and contain confidentiality provisions.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). 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, the disclosures included in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this document have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and in management’s opinion, reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that the Company will have for any subsequent quarter or fu ll fiscal year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements include the balances of National Health Partners, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation (Continued)
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has historically incurred significant losses, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As of September 30, 2010, the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates, which are detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, have not changed materially.
Note 3. Stock Compensation Expense
The Company records employee stock-based compensation using the fair value recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718 (“ASC 718”) using the modified prospective transition method, and records non-employee stock-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC Topic 505. In accordance therewith, the Company recognized stock compensation expense of $18,891 and $74,056 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $62,113 and $327,140 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Note 4. Profit (Loss) Per Share
Basic profit (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the applicable period, and is calculated by dividing the reported net profit (loss) for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. The Company calculates diluted profit (loss) per share by dividing the reported net profit (loss) for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period as adjusted to give effect to the exercise of all potentially dilutive options and warrants outstanding at the end of the period. A total of 5,163,250 and 18,564,750 shares of common stock underlying options and warrants that were outstanding on September 30, 2010 a nd 2009, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they are anti-dilutive. As a result, basic profit (loss) per share was equal to diluted profit (loss) per share for each period.

Note 6. Deposits
Deposits consist of cash reserves held by merchant processors that the Company uses to process credit card transactions and the security deposit held by the lessor of the Company’s office space. Each agreement that the Company has entered into with merchant processors contains a standard provision that gives the merchant processors the right to withhold funds from the proceeds generated by the Company through the sale of its membership programs through credit card transactions. The amount of the reserves may be increased or decreased by each merchant processor at any time based on the perceived risk exposure of the merchant processor. The merchant processors are required to return the amount of funds that they withhold from the proceeds within no less than six months and no more than nine months of the date such f unds were originally withheld. As a result, the Company expects to receive all such funds within six to nine months of the date such funds were originally withheld by the merchant processors.
As of September 30, 2010, the Company had a total of $45,000 in deposits. Of this amount, $25,000 was being held by PowerPay Payment Systems, Inc., $1,000 was being held by Clickbooth.com and $19,000 was being held by the lessor of the Company’s office space.

The following should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included above in Item 1 of Part I of this report.
Overview
We are a national healthcare membership organization that was formed to address the need for affordable healthcare nationwide. We create, market and sell membership programs to predominantly underserved markets in the healthcare industry through a national healthcare savings network called CARExpressTM. CARExpressTM is a network of hospitals, doctors, dentists, pharmacists and other healthcare providers comprised of over 1,000,000 healthcare providers that render their services and products to CARExpressTM members at discounted prices. CARExpressTM enables people to engage in point-of-service transactions directly with these healthcare providers and pay discounted prices to the providers.
Our membership programs offer savings on healthcare services to persons who are uninsured or underinsured by providing them with access to the same PPOs that are utilized by employers that self-fund at least a portion of their employees’ healthcare costs. Our membership programs are also used to supplement benefit plans and fill in the gaps created by the need to reduce health benefits to keep the costs of health insurance reasonable. We sell our membership programs directly through our sales force and indirectly through brokers and agents, unions and associations, small businesses and other organizations.
We are actively engaged in marketing our membership programs to the public. Our primary objective is to generate increased sales of our membership programs while expanding our position as a provider of unique healthcare membership service programs. The target market for our membership programs is comprised of individuals who have either limited health benefits or no health benefits. Our share of this market is currently less than one percent and has been less than one percent since our inception. Since we are not currently large enough to pursue and support the entire market, we intend to continue to pursue specific opportunities that we identify in this market through our various marketing and distribution channels. Through product design, competitive membership pricing, and a varie ty of marketing and distribution partners, we are pursuing opportunities in the healthcare market that insurance companies have not addressed.
Operational Metrics
Our revenue consists almost exclusively of recurring monthly membership fees that we receive from members of our membership programs. Our members pay us membership fees each month for the duration of their membership. The average membership fee per member per month that we receive for our CARExpressTM health discount programs is approximately $35. Approximately 95% of the CARExpressTM health discount programs that we have sold to our current members consist of our Comprehensive Care Program which is currently sold at a monthly retail price of $39.95. The remaining CARExpressTM health discount programs that we have sold to our current members consist of a mix of our less expensive programs. Approximately 90% of the CARExpress PlusTM membership programs that we have sold to our current members consist of our CARExpress PlusTM Gold Program which is currently sold at a monthly retail price of $137. The remaining CARExpress PlusTM membership programs that we have sold to our current members consist of a mix of our other programs.
We receive each member’s initial monthly payment and billing information at the beginning of the first monthly membership period. Monthly payments for subsequent periods are received at the beginning of the applicable period. The monthly membership fees that we receive are recognized as revenue evenly over the applicable monthly membership period. As a result, there is a delay of four weeks between the date we receive a monthly membership fee and the date we recognize the entire fee as revenue.
A key metric that we use to evaluate our success is our member retention rates. Member retention rates represent the percentage of new members that we acquire that we are able to retain for a specified period of time. Since we incur a large portion of our costs up front and receive recurring membership fees throughout the term of the membership, the longer we are able to retain the members we acquire, the greater the revenue potential of the membership programs that we sell. We believe that the key to obtaining a high member retention rate is to target our marketing campaigns towards those individuals and organizations that are most in need of our programs, most capable of paying for our programs, and most loyal to us and our programs. Member retention rates can be influenced by a variety of fa ctors, including:
| · | the type of membership programs being sold; |
| · | the marketing campaign being used to sell our membership programs; |
| · | the financial condition and loyalty of our members; |
| · | the distribution channel selling our membership programs; and |
| · | the type and amount of compensation being paid to our marketing and distribution partners to sell our membership programs. |
We have obtained valuable information regarding member demographics through the marketing and advertising campaigns that we have conducted and are focusing our marketing and advertising campaigns on members and member groups that we have identified as being most suitable for our membership programs. As a result, we expect our retention rates to continue to improve over the next 12 months as we pursue these opportunities through our various marketing and distribution channels.
Financial Results and Outlook
Our strategy is to continue to expand our position as a provider of unique discount healthcare membership programs. We have implemented several strategic growth initiatives during the past 12 months through which we achieved new contracts and strategic partnerships with a number of organizations, the most profound of which involved a shift in our sales strategy from sales through marketing companies to sales through employers and “affinity groups.” An “affinity group” is a group of people who share interests, issues, and a common bond or background, and offer support for each other. Examples of the types of affinity groups that we are working with include unions, associations, chambers of commerce and small business networks. These organizations typically have a large nu mber of members and thus, each one provides us with the opportunity to obtain a large number of sales. In addition, it is far less costly for us to sell our CARExpressTM programs through these organizations than it is for us to engage in expensive, nation-wide marketing and advertising campaigns through marketing companies, and the members that we obtain through these sources tend to remain members for a much longer period of time.
We experienced an increase in revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 as a result of the shift in our sales strategy from sales through marketing companies to sales through employers and affinity groups. The shift in our sales strategy resulted in increased direct costs in total and as a percentage of revenue. We had net income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Our net loss and net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were substantially lower than our net loss and net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The shift in our sales strategy and the implementation of cost-cutting initiativ es also resulted in a decrease in net cash used by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
We generated revenue of $662,712 and $1,740,376 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, compared to revenue of $590,591 and $1,383,662 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. We achieved a gross profit of $325,254 and $713,709 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, compared to a gross profit of $233,485 and $668,579 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. We recognized net income of $9,845 and a net loss of $640,051 ($0.00 and ($0.01) per share) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, compared to a net loss of $522,542 and $1,550,907 (($0.01) and ($0.03) per share) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. Net cash used by operat ing activities was $284,080 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $690,442 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, representing a decrease of 59%.
We will generate future revenue and members primarily through sales of our CARExpressTM health discount programs and our CARExpress PlusTM membership programs to employees and members of affinity groups through our direct sales force, our marketing and distribution partners, and various marketing and advertising campaigns. We have entered into agreements with several affinity groups through which we are generating sales of our CARExpressTM membership programs and are currently in discussions with several other organizations regarding the sale of our CARExpressTM membership programs. We intend to finance each of these projects through cash on hand, internally generated cash flows from operating activities and, if necessary, proceeds from the issuance of equity securities. We will use any additional investm ents that we receive to accelerate the expansion of each of our advertising campaigns and programs and increase sales of our membership programs.
We expect the number of CARExpressTM members generated each month to increase substantially during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 as a number of deals that we have either recently closed or that we expect to close begin to generate members for us. We also expect the number of CARExpressTM members generated each month to continue to increase throughout the year and expect our retention rates to improve over the next 12 months since members generated through affinity groups have historically remained members of CARExpressTM for a much longer period of time than members generated through marketing companies. As a result, we expect to generate an increasing amount of revenue during the year ended December 31, 2010. We believe that this increase in revenue combined with the various cost-cutting initiative s that we implemented over the past few quarters will enable us to generate positive cash flows from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2010 as the recurring membership fees from our increasing membership base overtake the costs associated with retaining existing members and obtaining new members. We can provide no assurance, however, that our membership base will increase as projected, that our member retention rates will improve over the next 12 months, that we will generate the aforementioned projected revenue, or that we will generate positive cash flows from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
Revenue
Revenue consists almost exclusively of the monthly membership fees that we receive from members of our membership programs. Revenue increased $72,121 to $662,712 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $590,591 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
The increase of $72,121 resulted primarily from an increase in sales through employers and affinity groups in connection with the shift in our sales strategy from sales through marketing companies to sales through employers and affinity groups. The remainder of the revenue that we generated during these periods was derived from existing members. We expect revenue to increase over the next 12 months as a result of increased sales to employees and members of affinity groups through our direct sales force, our marketing and distribution partners and our various marketing and advertising campaigns.
Direct Costs
Direct costs consist of sales commissions that we pay to our marketing and distribution partners and fees that we pay to our PPOs and provider networks for access to their networks. Direct costs decreased $19,648 to $337,458 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $357,106 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease of $19,648 was due to a decrease of $35,533 for sales commissions and an increase of $15,885 for PPO and provider network costs resulting from the increase in sales of our membership programs. We expect cost of sales to increase over the next 12 months as increased sales of our membership programs result in higher overall sales commission expenses and provider network costs.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses consist of advertising expenses, marketing expenses, salaries and other compensation paid to employees selling and marketing our membership programs, rent expense allocated to our selling and marketing activities, depreciation and amortization expense allocated to our selling and marketing activities, and all other selling and marketing expenses incurred by us. Selling and marketing expenses decreased $9,290 to $11,922 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $21,212 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease of $9,290 was due primarily to a decrease of $3,694 for rent and $4,992 for salaries and other compensation paid to employees selling and marketing our membership programs. We expect selling and marketing expenses to increase during the next 12 months as we grow our direct sales force and engage in larger and more frequent marketing and advertising campaigns and activities.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation expense, professional fees and other general and administrative expenses.
Employee Compensation Expense. Employee compensation expense consists of all salaries and other cash compensation, equity-based compensation, 401(k) contributions and other compensation that we pay to our employees and the related payroll taxes that are not associated with our selling and marketing activities. Employee compensation expense decreased $260,090 to $178,455 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $438,545 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease of $260,090 was due primarily to decreases of $188,857 for salary expense, $58,711 for stock option expenses and $2,177 for payroll taxes. We expect employee compensation expense to increase over the next 12 months as we begin to hire additiona l employees to support the growth of our business.
Professional Fees. Professional fees consist of fees paid to our independent accountants, lawyers, technology consultants and other professionals and consultants. Professional fees decreased $75,436 to $9,096 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $84,532 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease of $75,436 was due primarily to a decrease of $55,165 for the amount of expense recognized in connection with equity-based compensation paid to service providers and consultants for various services, a decrease of $8,730 for accounting fees and a decrease of $7,235 for legal fees. We expect professional fees to increase over the next 12 months as we incur additional legal, accounting and technology fees in connection with the general expansion of our business and operations.
Other General and Administrative Expenses. Other general and administrative expenses consist of office supplies expense, computer hardware and system costs, bank service charges, filing fees and dues, non-employee customer service representative expense, rent expense, health insurance and other related benefit costs, financial printer costs, transfer agent costs, the costs of investor relations campaigns and activities, postage and delivery expenses, severance expenses, general business expenses and miscellaneous general and administrative expenses that are not associated with our selling and marketing activities. Other general and administrative expenses decreased $95,825 to $115,936 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $211,761 for the three mo nths ended September 30, 2009. The decrease of $95,825 resulted primarily from decreases of $24,671 for supplies, $14,774 for rent expense and $31,527 for credit card service charges associated with new and recurring member transactions. We expect other general and administrative expenses to increase over the next 12 months as we continue to incur expenses for bank service charges, financial printer services, investor relations campaigns and activities, transfer agent fees, health insurance, rent, non-employee customer service representatives, supplies, computer hardware and systems, and other miscellaneous items associated with the general operation and growth of our business.
Net Income
Our net income was $9,845 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to a net loss of $522,542 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, a difference of $532,387. The difference of $532,387 was primarily due to decreases of $9,290 for selling and marketing expenses, $260,090 for employee compensation expenses, $75,436 for professional fees, $95,825 for other general and administrative expenses and $19,648 for direct costs incurred in connection with the sale of our membership programs, offset by an increase of $72,121 in revenue.
Comparison of the Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
Revenue
Revenue consists almost exclusively of the monthly membership fees that we receive from members of our membership programs. Revenue increased $356,714 to $1,740,376 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $1,383,662 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
The increase of $356,714 resulted primarily from an increase in sales through employers and affinity groups in connection with the shift in our sales strategy from sales through marketing companies to sales through employers and affinity groups. The remainder of the revenue that we generated during these periods was derived from existing members. We expect revenue to increase over the next 12 months as a result of increased sales to employees and members of affinity groups through our direct sales force, our marketing and distribution partners and our various marketing and advertising campaigns.
Direct Costs
Direct costs consist of sales commissions that we pay to our marketing and distribution partners and fees that we pay to our PPOs and provider networks for access to their networks. Direct costs increased $311,584 to $1,026,667 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $715,083 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase of $311,584 was due to increases of $254,383 for sales commissions and increases of $57,201 for PPO and provider network costs resulting from the increase in sales of our membership programs. We expect cost of sales to increase over the next 12 months as increased sales of our membership programs result in higher overall sales commission expenses and provider network costs.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses consist of advertising expenses, marketing expenses, salaries and other compensation paid to employees selling and marketing our membership programs, rent expense allocated to our selling and marketing activities, depreciation and amortization expense allocated to our selling and marketing activities, and all other selling and marketing expenses incurred by us. Selling and marketing expenses decreased $51,773 to $36,530 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $88,303 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease of $51,773 was due primarily to a decrease of $9,791 for marketing programs, a decrease of $8,124 in sales salaries and a decrease of $21,020 in sales related stock option expenses. We expect selling and marketing expenses to increase during t he next 12 months as we grow our direct sales force and engage in larger and more frequent marketing and advertising campaigns and activities.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation expense, professional fees and other general and administrative expenses.
Employee Compensation Expense. Employee compensation expense consists of all salaries and other cash compensation, equity-based compensation, 401(k) contributions and other compensation that we pay to our employees and the related payroll taxes that are not associated with our selling and marketing activities. Employee compensation expense decreased $564,614 to $798,854 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $1,363,468 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease of $564,614 was due primarily to a decrease of $455,676 for salary expense and a decrease of $95,395 for stock option expense. We expect employee compensation expense to increase over the next 12 months as we begin to hire additional employees to support the growth of our business.
Professional Fees. Professional fees consist of fees paid to our independent accountants, lawyers, technology consultants and other professionals and consultants. Professional fees decreased $177,974 to $79,663 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $257,637 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease of $177,974 was due primarily to a decrease of $159,453 for the amount of expense recognized in connection with equity-based compensation paid to service providers and consultants for various services and a decrease of $12,875 for legal fees. We expect professional fees to increase over the next 12 months as we incur additional legal, accounting and technology fees in connection with the general expansion of our bus iness and operations.
Other General and Administrative Expenses. Other general and administrative expenses consist of office supplies expense, computer hardware and system costs, bank service charges, filing fees and dues, non-employee customer service representative expense, rent expense, health insurance and other related benefit costs, financial printer costs, transfer agent costs, the costs of investor relations campaigns and activities, postage and delivery expenses, severance expenses, general business expenses and miscellaneous general and administrative expenses that are not associated with our selling and marketing activities. Other general and administrative expenses decreased $71,475 to $438,713 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $510,188 for the nine mont hs ended September 30, 2009. The decrease of $71,475 resulted primarily from decreases of $8,393 for insurance, $15,503 for rent expense, $7,346 for repairs and $18,926 for supplies. We expect other general and administrative expenses to increase over the next 12 months as we continue to incur expenses for bank service charges, financial printer services, investor relations campaigns and activities, transfer agent fees, health insurance, rent, non-employee customer service representatives, supplies, computer hardware and systems, and other miscellaneous items associated with the general operation and growth of our business.
Net Loss
Our net loss decreased $910,857 to $640,050 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $1,550,907 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease of $910,857 was primarily due to decreases of $51,773 for selling and marketing expenses, $564,614 for employee compensation, $177,974 for professional fees and $71,475 in other general and administrative expenses described above, offset by increases of $356,714 for revenue and $311,584 for direct costs incurred in connection with the sale of our membership programs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through private sales of equity securities. As of September 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6,736.
Net cash used by operating activities was $284,080 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $690,442 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The $406,362 decrease in cash used by operating activities was due primarily to a decrease of $910,857 for net loss, decreases of $181,738 for accounts payable and accrued expenses, 12,791 for deferred revenue, $9,142 for refunds payable and $319,179 for equity-based compensation expense and an increase of $16,280 for deposits.
We did not have any cash flows from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $259,125 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $537,975 for the nine months ended September, 2009. The $278,850 decrease in cash provided by financing activities was due solely to the decrease in proceeds from the sale of stock and warrants.
Our primary sources of capital for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 are set forth below.
In January 2010, we sold 1,000,000 shares of our common stock and Class A warrants exercisable into 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to an accredited investor for aggregate gross proceeds of $40,000. The Class A warrants have an exercise price of $0.04 per share, are exercisable during the period commencing on the date of grant and ending December 31, 2010, and expire at the end of the exercise period.
In February 2010, we sold 2,000,000 shares of our common stock to an accredited investor for aggregate gross proceeds of $40,000.
In February 2010, we sold 2,000,000 shares of our common stock and Class A warrants exercisable into 4,000,000 shares of our common stock to an accredited investor for aggregate gross proceeds of $40,000. The Class A warrants have an exercise price of $0.02 per share, are exercisable during the period commencing on the date of grant and ending December 31, 2010, and expire at the end of the exercise period.
In March 2010, we completed a private offering of 450,000 shares of our common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $10,125.
In March 2010, we completed a private offering of 3,200,000 shares of our common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $64,000.
In June 2010, we completed a private offering of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $20,000.
In July 2010, we completed a private offering of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $15,000.
In July 2010, warrants were exercised resulting in the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $15,000.
In August 2010, we completed a private offering of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $15,000.
To date, our capital needs have been met primarily through sales of equity securities and proceeds received upon the exercise of warrants held by our security holders. We do not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution. We have used the proceeds from the exercise of warrants and our private offerings of securities to pay virtually all of the costs and expenses we have incurred. These costs and expenses were comprised of operating expenses, which consisted of the employee compensation expenses, professional fees and other general and administrative expenses discussed above, and the costs of sales discussed above to the extent such costs of sales exceeded our revenue.
We believe that our current cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain our current operations for the next 12 months. We will need to obtain additional cash resources within the next 12 months to enable us to pay our ongoing costs and expenses as they are incurred and finance the growth of our business. We intend to obtain these funds through internally generated cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from the issuance of equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to our existing shareholders. We have not made arrangements to obtain additional financing and we can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available in an amount or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funds when the y are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms favorable to us, we may be unable to execute upon our business plan or pay our costs and expenses as they are incurred, which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company’s authorized capital consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 88,392,478 shares of common stock were outstanding at September 30, 2010. The total of warrants exercisable into an aggregate of 5,013,250 shares of the Company’s common stock and stock options exercisable into an aggregate of 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at September 30, 2010 equal a total 5,163,250 shares of common stock underlying options and warrants that were outstanding at September 30, 2010. The combination of the 88,392,478 shares of common stock outstanding and the 5,163,250 shares of potentially dilutive options and warrants outstanding at September 30, 2010 gives effect to a potential outstanding total of 93,555,728 of the authorized capital of 100,000,000 shares of common stock. 0;
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2010, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities that had been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
As of September 30, 2010, we carried out the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer an d Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
