NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements follows:
General
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of NewCardio, Inc., (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results from operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Basis and business presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, including NewCardio Technologies, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary (“NewCardio Technologies”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in September 2004 and is in the development stage, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 ("SFAS No. 7") with its efforts principally devoted to developing cardiac diagnostics tools and equipment in the United States and Europe. To date, the Company, has not generated sales revenues, has incurred expenses and has sustained losses. Consequently, its operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. For the period from inception through September 30, 2008, the Company has accumulated losses of $29,519,977 attributable to common stockholders.
Reverse Merger and Corporate Restructure
On December 27, 2007, the Company consummated a reverse merger by entering into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange”) with the stockholders of NewCardio Technologies, pursuant to which the stockholders of NewCardio Technologies exchanged all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of NewCardio Technologies for 18,682,537 shares of common stock of the Company representing 92% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, after the return to treasury and retirement of 9,445,015 shares of common stock of the Company held by certain stockholders of the Company concurrently with the Share Exchange.
As a result of the Share Exchange, there was a change in control of the Company. In accordance with SFAS No. 141, the Company was the acquiring entity. In substance, the Share Exchange is a recapitalization of the Company’s capital structure rather than a business combination.
For accounting purposes, the Company accounted for the transaction as a reverse acquisition with the Company as the surviving entity. The total purchase price and carrying value of net assets acquired was $-0-. The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the transaction. Prior to the Share Exchange, the Company was an inactive corporation with no significant assets and liabilities.
The accompanying financial statements include the historical financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company prior to the Share Exchange.
All reference to Common Stock shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to effect the reverse acquisition as if the transaction had taken place as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.

NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Reverse Merger and Corporate Restructure (continued)
The total consideration paid was $-0- and the significant components of the transaction are as follows:
Assets: | | $ | -0- | |
Liabilities: | | | | |
Net liabilities assumed | | $ | -0- | |
Total consideration: | | $ | -0- | |
Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” ("SAB 101"). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.
On December 17, 2003, the SEC staff released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition. The staff updated and revised the existing revenue recognition in Topic 13, Revenue Recognition, to make its interpretive guidance consistent with current accounting guidance, principally EITF Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." Also, SAB 104 incorporates portions of the Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements - Frequently Asked Questions and Answers document that the SEC staff considered relevant and rescinds the remainder. The company's revenue recognition policies are consistent with this guidance; therefore, this guidance will not have an immediate impact on the company's consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Fair Values
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157) as amended by FASB Statement of Position (FSP) FAS 157-1 and FSP FAS 157-2. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and enhances fair value measurement disclosure. FSP FAS 157-2 delays, until the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the effective date for SFAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operations. Refer to Note 7 for further discussion regarding fair value.
Debt and Equity Securities
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (SFAS 115). The Company classifies debt and equity securities into one of three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading. These security classifications may be modified after acquisition only under certain specified conditions. Securities may be classified as held-to-maturity only if the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Trading securities are defined as those bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. All other securities must be classified as available-for-sale.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Debt and Equity Securities (continued)
Short-term investment consists of a bank certificate of deposit that matures within the next 12 months.
Held-to-maturity securities are measured at amortized cost in the consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized holding gains and losses are not included in earnings or in a separate component of capital. They are merely disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized holding gains and losses are not included in earnings but are reported as a net amount (less expected tax) in a separate component of capital until realized.
Trading securities are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized holding gains and losses for trading securities are included in earnings.
Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For financial statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3-5 years.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (“SFAS 144”). The Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. SFAS No. 144 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Income Taxes
The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 109 (SFAS 109) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant.

NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Comprehensive Income
The Company does not have any items of comprehensive income in any of the periods presented.
Net Loss per Share
The following reconciliation of net income and share amounts used in the computation of income (loss) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2008:
| | Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 | |
Net income used in computing basic net income per share | | $ | 7,350,764 | |
Impact of assumed assumptions: | | | | |
Gain on warrant liability marked to fair value | | | (10,026,131 | ) |
Net loss in computing diluted net loss per share: | | $ | (2,675,267 | ) |
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," specifying the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. The weighted average shares outstanding used in the basic net income per share computations for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was 21,028,688. In determining the number of shares used in computing diluted loss per share, the Company added approximately 27,657,655 for the three month period ended September 30, 2008. Basic earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Stock options and warrants have been excluded as common stock equivalents in the diluted earnings per share because they are either antidilutive, or their effect is not material. Fully diluted shares outstanding were 48,686,343 and 14,064,205 for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively and 48,210,620 and 11,261,169 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Stock based compensation
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123R (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Statement 123R supersedes APB opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends FASB Statement No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows.” Generally, the approach in Statement 123R is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro-forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. This statement does not change the accounting guidance for share based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R). This statement does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans.” On April 14, 2005, the SEC amended the effective date of the provisions of this statement. The effect of this amendment by the SEC is that the Company had to comply with Statement 123R and use the Fair Value based method of accounting no later than the first quarter of 2006. The Company implemented SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method.
As more fully described in Note 6 below, the Company granted stock options over the years to employees of the Company under its 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company granted non-qualified stock options to purchase 3,295,000 shares of common stock during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 to employees and directors of the Company under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan.
As of September 30, 2008, there were outstanding employee stock options to purchase 6,295,000 shares of common stock, 1,970,138 shares of which were vested.

NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
Research and Development
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 2 (“SFAS 2”), “Accounting for Research and Development Costs.” Under SFAS 2, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $673,689 and $1,280,326 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008; $9,925 and $52,184 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and $2,439,352 from September 7, 2004 (date of inception) through September 30, 2008, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount for the Series A convertible preferred stock approximate fair value.
Liquidity
As shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred net loss from operations of $8,263,461 from its inception on September 7, 2004 through September 30, 2008.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments, and certain other items, at fair value. SFAS 159 applies to reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141(R)"), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any that the adoption will have on its consolidated financial position results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”), which will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity within the consolidated balance sheets. SFAS No. 160 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any that the adoption will have on its consolidated financial position results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Recent accounting pronouncements (continued)
In December 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus in Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (EITF 07-1). EITF 07-1 defines collaborative arrangements and requires collaborators to present the result of activities for which they act as the principal on a gross basis and report any payments received from (made to) the other collaborators based on other applicable authoritative accounting literature, and in the absence of other applicable authoritative literature, on a reasonable, rational and consistent accounting policy is to be elected. EITF 07-1 also provides for disclosures regarding the nature and purpose of the arrangement, the entity’s rights and obligations, the accounting policy for the arrangement and the income statement classification and amounts arising from the agreement.
EITF 07-1 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which will be the Company’s fiscal year 2009, and will be applied as a change in accounting principle retrospectively for all collaborative arrangements existing as of the effective date. The Company has not yet evaluated the potential impact of adopting EITF 07-1 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2008, the FASB” issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161, if any, will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3,“Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The Company is required to adopt FSP 142-3 on September 1, 2009, earlier adoption is prohibited. The guidance in FSP 142-3 for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FSP 142-3 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS No. 162"). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 14-1 "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) " ("FSP APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2 – NOTES PAYABLE-RELATED PARTY
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
Notes payable related party is comprised of a promissory note totaling $10,316, due November 15, 2008 with interest at 4.9% per annum due upon maturity to a former director of the Company.
NOTE 3 -- REDEEMABLE SECURITIES
Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $ 0.001 per share. The Company's preferred stock may be divided into such series as may be established by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of any series established.
In December, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of up to 12,000 shares of Series A 10% convertible non-voting preferred stock (the “Series A shares”) having a stated value of $1,000 per share . The Series A shares are convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion rate determined by dividing the stated value of $1,000 by the initial conversion price of $0.95 per share. The conversion price is subject to certain anti-dilution provisions in the event the Company issues shares of its common stock or common stock equivalents below the stated conversion price or pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution payable in shares of common stock, with the exception of any shares issued upon conversion or payment of dividend on this issuance, or other similar events such as stock splits or common stock reclassifications.
The holders are entitled to receive a cumulative 10% dividend based on the stated value of $1,000 per share, payable on the calendar quarter in cash or in shares of its common stock with certain discounts, at the Company’s option.
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders of the Series A shares shall be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Company an amount equal to 120% of the stated value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and any other fees or liquidated damages owing thereon, for each Series A share before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any other securities, and if the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the holders of the Series A shares shall be ratably distributed among the holders of the Series A shares in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. The liquidation value inclusive of accrued dividends was $9,739,179 (inclusive of dividend of $202,684) and $9,849,111 (inclusive of dividend of $9,111) as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
In December 2007, the Company issued 8,200 Series A shares at $1,000 per share to accredited investors in a private placement, plus warrants. The Company received $8,200,000 less issuance costs totaling $1,312,534. Net cash proceeds at December 31, 2007 were $7,342,500. The balance of the costs includes an accrual paid in January and the value of a fee warrant issued in conjunction with the financing. The issuance costs have been recorded as a reduction in the ‘Shares subject to redemption.' $4,802,973 has been allocated to the warrants based on their fair value, reducing ‘Shares subject to redemption.’
As required by the Certificate of Designation of the Series A shares, the Company may be required to redeem the Series A shares for cash in an amount equal to the stated value of the Series A shares, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, upon the occurrence of certain events. As the Series A shares redemption requirement may be triggered by events that are outside the Company’s control, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities (“EITF Topic D-98”), the Company recorded the fair value of the Series A shares outside of common shareholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 3 -- REDEEMABLE SECURITIES (continued)
Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock (continued)
Under EITF No.00-27, “Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5, ‘Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Rates’, to Certain Convertible Instruments,” the Company considered the effect of a beneficial conversion feature of the Series A shares issued in the December 2007 private placement. The Company has attributed a beneficial conversion feature of $2,817,710 to the Series A shares based upon the difference between the effective conversion price of those shares and the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance of the Series A shares. The amount attributable to the beneficial conversion feature has been recorded as a dividend to the holders of the Series A shares. Since the redemption requirement of the Series A shares is contingent on the occurrence of future events, the Company is not accreting the carrying value of the Series A shares to redemption value and will not do so until the occurrence of any one of those future events becomes probable.
The Company's Series A Shares are redeemable under certain conditions, including:
· | The Company effecting a merger or consolidation with another entity |
· | The Company sells all or substantially all of the Company's assets |
· | The Company's shareholders approve a tender or exchange offer, or |
· | The Company's holders of the common stock exchange their shares for securities or cash |
Accordingly, upon the occurrence of any one of these events, the Series A shares will become redeemable and the Company will accrete the carrying value of the Series A shares to redemption value at that time.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, certain Series A 10% convertible preferred stockholders converted 252.8158 shares of preferred stock to 266,119 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the December 27, 2007 private placement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the purchasers of the Series A shares, which, as amended, required the Company to obtain an effective registration statement with the SEC covering the sale of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A shares on or before August 31, 2008. The Company performed this obligation on August 29, 2008.
After August 29, 2008, the effective date of the registration statement, the Company can force redemption of the Series A shares, if certain market conditions exists.
As additional consideration for the purchase of the Series A shares, the Company granted to the holders of the Series A shares warrants entitling them to purchase 5,178,947 shares of the Company’s common stock at the price of $1.14 per share expiring five years from issuance, and exercisable after one year on a net cashless basis. 5,157,895 Series J warrants were also issued at $1.235 per share expiring one year from issuance. In addition, Series J-A warrants totaling 3,094,737 are issuable at $1.425 share, contingent on the exercise of the Series J warrants. For accounting purposes the Series J-A warrants have a one-year life as they are linked to the exercise of the Series J warrants. If the Series J warrants are exercised, the Series J-A warrants become 5-year warrants with a net cashless provision. None of the warrants have registration rights. The Company estimated the fair value at date of issue of the warrants issued in connection with the private placement to be $4,802,973 using the Black-Scholes formula assuming no dividends, a risk-free interest rate of 3.37% to 3.64 %, expected volatility of 121.06%, and expected warrant life of one to five years. Since the Company may be obligated to settle the warrants in cash, pursuant to EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock,” the Company has recorded the fair value of the warrants as a derivative liability. The net value of the warrants at the date of issuance was recorded as a warrant liability on the balance sheet in the amount of $4,802,973 and a reduction in value of shares subject to redemption. Any change in fair value is being recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
NOTE 4 -- WARRANT LIABILITY
As described in Note 3, the Company issued warrants in conjunction with the sale of the Series A shares. These warrants contain a “fundamental transaction” clause that if while the warrant(s) are outstanding, the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another “Person” or other similar transactions (as defined in the warrants), the warrant holders can demand net cash settlement.
As the warrants contain a provision that could require cash settlement, pursuant to EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock,” the warrants were recorded as a derivative liability and valued at fair market value until the Company meets the criteria under EITF 00-19 for permanent
equity. The net value of the warrants at the date of issuance was recorded as a warrant liability on the balance sheet in the amount of $ 4,802,973 and charged as a reduction of the preferred stock carrying value. Subsequent to the initial issuance date, the Company will be required to adjust to fair value the warrant as an adjustment to current period operations.
In accordance with SFAS 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded a loss on change in fair value of warrant liability of $16,850,328. The fair value the warrants at September 30, 2008 were determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: Dividend yield: -0-%, volatility: 120.31%; risk free rate: 0.92% to 2.98%.
As of the date of the financial statements, the Company believes an event under the warrants that would create an obligation to settle the warrants in cash or other current assets is remote and has classified the obligation as a long term liability.

NOTE 7 -- FAIR VALUE
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. SFAS No. 157 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying condensed financial statements consisted of the following items as of September 30, 2008:

With the exception of assets and liabilities included within the scope of FSP FAS No. 157-2, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 prospectively effective as of the beginning of Fiscal 2008. For financial assets and liabilities included within the scope of FSP FAS No. 157-2, the Company will be required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 157 prospectively as of the beginning of Fiscal 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations, and the Company do not believe that the adoption of FSP FAS No. 157-2 will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
The fair value of the assets, short term investments, at September 30, 2008 was grouped as Level 1 valuation as the market price was readily available, and there has been no change to the fair value of the securities at September 30, 2008.
The table below presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of our warrant liability during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008:

(a) In December 2007, the Company issued 8,200 Series A shares at $1,000 per share to accredited investors in a private placement. The Company initially recorded the issuance as a current liability at the full face amount of $8,200,000 and recorded the issuance costs totaling $1,312,534 in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2007.
As required by the Certificate of Designation of the Series A shares, the Company may be required to redeem the Series A shares for cash in an amount equal to the stated value of the Series A shares, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, upon the occurrence of certain events. As the Series A shares redemption requirement may be triggered by events that are outside the Company’s control, in accordance with EITF Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities (“EITF Topic D-98”), the Company recorded the fair value of the Series A shares outside of common shareholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

(b) Under EITF No.00-27, “Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5, ‘Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Rates’, to Certain Convertible Instruments,” the Company should have considered the effect of a beneficial conversion feature of the Series A shares issued in the December 2007 private placement. $4,802,973 has now been allocated to the warrants based on their fair value using the Black Scholes option pricing model, reducing Shares subject to redemption. $1,312,534 of issuance costs also reduces the Shares subject to redemption. The Company has now also attributed a beneficial conversion feature of $2,817,710 to the Series A shares based upon the difference between the effective conversion price of those shares and the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance of the Series A shares. The Company made the following assumptions in the Black Scholes model used in valuing the warrants: (1) a dividend yield of 0%; (2) an expected volatility of 121.06%, (3) a risk-free interest rate of 3.37% to 3.64%, and (4) an expected life of 1 to 5 years. The amount attributable to the beneficial conversion feature has been recorded as a dividend to the holders of the Series A shares. Since the redemption requirement of the Series A shares is contingent on the occurrence of future events, the Company is not accreting the carrying value of the Series A shares to redemption value and will not do so until the occurrence of any one of those future events becomes probable.
Shares subject to redemption is summarized as follows:
Face amount of Series A shares: | | $ | 8,200,000 | |
Less: fair value of warrants | | | (4,802,973 | ) |
Less: issuance costs | | | (1,312,534 | ) |
Net carrying value: | | $ | 2,084,493 | |
(c) To record a $2,817,710 dividend to the Series A preferred stockholders (see (b) above).
(d) The effect in deficit accumulated during development stage is as follows:
Reclassification of initial fair value of warrants from current period interest expense to a reduction in carrying value of Series A shares | | $ | 4,802,973 | |
Reclassification of the issuance costs from current period interest expense to a reduction in the carrying value of Series A shares | | | 1,312,534 | |
Less: The value of the beneficial conversion feature | | | (2,817,710 | ) |
Net change | | $ | 3,297,797 | |
Overview
| Significant highlights for the third quarter of 2008 were as follows: |
● | Our activity and spending continued at levels similar to the first two quarters of 2008. For the first nine months of 2008, our net cash used in operating activities was just over $3 million; spending was at a relatively constant rate. Our net cash used in operations for the September 2008 quarter was $973,000. We have increased our investment in both infrastructure and development efforts since the year ended 2007. Our infrastructure expenses continue at approximately $120,000 per calendar quarter, including human resources costs, which we are funding from the proceeds of our December 27, 2007 financing. |
| |
● | As we focus on commercialization efforts, we determined that the first step to building a sales force was to recruit a president with direct sales experience in cardiac safety, which we did during the third quarter. In furtherance of these efforts, we added a client services team, consisting of a senior vice president, in charge of client services and a vice president in charge of product management. We also hired a Chief Medical Officer during the third quarter. |
| |
● | We continue to add development personnel and a sales infrastructure for QTinno™ in the fourth quarter of 2008. |
| | |
| ● | We opened a sales office in Princeton, New Jersey at the start of the fourth quarter. |
| | |
| ● | We were actively seeking to recruit a Chief Technical Officer, which we accomplished at the end of October. |
| | |
| ● | We added a director of corporate information technology systems during October. |
| | |
| ● | R&D highlights for the third quarter included: |
| Clinical Development – QTinno™ |
| During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we completed our fourth study of electrocardiograms (ECGs) previously obtained in drug development clinical trials. This study complements and extends our previous studies. ECGs were obtained by continuous monitoring (12-lead Holter) methods, and thus were a challenging new test of our technology because of high noise content and substantial beat-to-beat variability. The study was a blinded study of more than 2,500 digital ECGs acquired from healthy subjects before and after a single dose of a drug known to have QT-prolonging properties, and also known to be a potent trigger for abnormal heart rhythms. QT intervals were determined on all 2,500 ECGs by QTinno™ and by the current “gold standard” approach: careful manual reading by a single cardiologist with extensive expertise in QT interval evaluation. Results showed that QTinno™’s automated determination and the “gold standard” manual measurement were virtually identical (less than 1 millisecond difference), and individual measurements showed a high degree of precision (standard deviation of well under 10 milliseconds between the two approaches). We submitted a research proposal to the Cardiac Safety Research Consortium (CSRC) seeking to perform automated analysis of ECGs from one or more recent drug clinical studies submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and stored in the FDA’s “warehouse” of digital ECGs. Our proposal was approved on October 7, 2008. We expect to have access to ECGs from a recent drug clinical study within two months from the approval date. Our current expectations for the fourth quarter of 2008 are as follows. We expect to submit the results of at least one of our clinical studies to a major peer-reviewed cardiovascular journal. We expect to submit at least three abstracts describing results of our clinical studies for presentation at major national scientific meetings. We also expect to complete a clinical study in collaboration with a large clinical research organization that is involved in many drug development trials for large pharmaceutical companies. This research organization would be a potential customer for us, and, as a result, we consider its involvement in the development process as an important milestone towards our ultimate goal of market acceptance. We will continue to look for opportunities to validate QTinno™ in new and varying environments. |
| Internal Research Projects |
| We continue to study internally VisualECG™’s performance in ECGs from patients undergoing evaluation for acute chest pain. Our objective continues to be the collection of data to help us refine the product and prepare it for an external clinical trial. During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we used the ECGs and clinical information we collected in the quarter ended June 30, 2008, to correlate VisualECG™ findings with the patients’ clinical diagnoses, by comparing the initial ECG and clinical information and VisualECG™ findings against the ultimate diagnosis. We also continue to work on the preliminary stages of an internal study in Europe which is expected to involve approximately 150 to 200 patients. The objective of both studies is to assist us in defining an optimal set of VisualECG™ markers for diagnosis of a heart attack. We expect to complete the data collection and conclude these internal development studies in order to begin an external development study of similar design. We initially thought that we would be able to complete this study by the end of the first quarter of 2009, but now believe that it will take us at least until the end of the second quarter of 2009 to do this. The results of the internal development studies will not be published, as they will be used for technology development only. The results of an external development study would be published. |
| QTinno™: Since we intend to initially market QTinno™ as a drug development research tool, and, not for patient diagnosis, we believe, based on our research, that FDA pre-marketing clearance and pre-market approval rules will not apply. Nevertheless, we are implementing a quality management system to guide the design, development and delivery of our proprietary platform technology, and any associated products or solutions, based on the FDA guidelines for the content of premarket submissions for software contained in medical devices. This would enable us, if the future use of QTinno™ does require a 510(k) premarket notification clearance from the FDA, to quickly prepare and submit an application for approval, as all the required content will have been prepared and available. In addition, the quality management system will ensure that QTinno™ is compliant with the FDA rules set forth in 21 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 11, as it relates to the use of computer applications in the capture and reporting of data in clinical trials. We expect to have completed the implementation of the quality management system in the first quarter of 2009. |
| VisualECG™: We believe that VisualECG™ is eligible for 510(k) premarket notification clearance procedure as a Class II device. This belief is supported by specific sections of 21 Code of Federal Regulations Part 870, identifying programmable diagnostic computers (21 CFR 870.1425), electrocardiographs (21 CFR 870.2340), vectorcardiographs (21 CFR 870.2400), and electrocardiographic monitoring devices (21 CFR 870.1425), as Class II devices. |
| Commercialization Efforts | |
| QTinno™: Our ability to launch QTinno™ as expected will depend on the successful completion of our external validation studies, successful outcomes to these validation studies, acceptance of this product by the pharmaceutical and the clinical research organization community, our ability to put in place a successful sales and marketing infrastructure, and market acceptance by our targeted customers. How quickly we can commercialize QTinno™ will also depend on the FDA's recognition of QTinno™ as a viable tool in the cardiac safety research process of drug development, and the time for QTinno™ to comply with electronic data submission requirements under 21 Code of Federal Regulations Part 11. If actual results differ from our current expectations, this could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. VisualECG™: How quickly we can commercialize VisualECG™ depends on our current internal efforts and our evaluation of the results as they impact near term development of the product. It will also depend on whether or not we can successfully initiate and execute future clinical trials that validate the device and whether or not the FDA agrees with our assessment that the device is eligible for 510(k) clearance as a Class II device and, therefore, does not require the more lengthy and expensive pre-market approval. |

Quarter ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
Selected results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 were as follows:
We continue to operate in 2008 as a development stage company and, as such, we have limited capital and limited capital resources and no revenues. We do not expect to see any revenues until approximately the middle of 2009.
As of September 30, 2008, we have $3.3 million in cash and short term investment, the balance remaining from the financing we completed in December 2007.
We spent limited resources in the third quarter of 2007. In the third quarter of 2008, net cash used in operating activities totaled $1.0 million.
Selling, general and administrative expenses grew 557% to $1,819,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $1,550,000 from $269,000 in 2007. The increase is made up of both cash and stock-based compensation to key consultants and executives. Stock based compensation totaled $876,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2008, up $754,000 from $122,000 a year ago. The balance of the spending is primarily for human resources, both employees and consultants, and related travel expenses. This includes services on the administrative side: corporate, finance/investor relations and business development, and in the quarter ended September 30, 2008 approximately $178,000 invested in the start of our commercialization efforts.
Research and development expenses grew 6,688% to $674,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $664,000 from $10,000 in 2007. Stock based compensation totaled $189,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2008, primarily stock option expense. There was none a year ago. A year ago very limited funds were available to spend on research and clinical trial efforts, and total spending was $10,000. For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we are well into the process of validating our first product to market, QTinno™. Expenses also include the addition of our Chief Medical Officer. Total research and development spending was $485,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2008, primarily human resource related, for both employees and consultants.
Our equity compensation agreements with non-employees are under terms and conditions consistent with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of SFAS 123." We compensate non-employee consultants for services using equity or cash or a combination of both. Further, stock options are an element of employee compensation. Total stock based compensation as discussed above is expected to have a material effect on our results of operations during the next 12 months. On the administrative side, we use stock and stock option grants for consultants primarily in support of our investor relation programs providing public market information. On the research side, we use consultants for both the technical development of our products and also for support of our clinical development process.
The gain (loss) on change in the fair value of our warrant liability relates to the accounting for the warrants issued in the December 2007 financing. We marked the value of these warrants to market on September 30, 2008 and, based on the September 30, 2008 market price of our common stock compared to June 30, 2008, the value and, thus, warrant liability decreased substantially. The warrant liability at September 30, 2008 is $21.7 million and quarterly gain related to this warrant liability is $10.0 million. Interest income of $25,000 (compared to almost none in 2007) is primarily related to income on the short term investment. The dividend on preferred stock of $203,000 is the 10% dividend on the average outstanding balance of preferred stock payable for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
Selected results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 were as follows:
Selling, general and administrative expenses grew 401% to $3,725,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $2,982,000 from $743,000 in 2007. The increase is made up of both cash and stock-based compensation to key consultants and executives. Stock based compensation in 2008 is primarily the expense related to the vesting portion of stock options, totaling $1,483,000. We began our business development activities in the second quarter of 2007, funded largely through the issuance and sale of our common stock valued at $454,000. There was an additional $107,000 in stock based compensation from the valuation of the vested portion of stock options during the first nine months of 2007. Spending increased to $2,242,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, up from $182,000 in 2007. These costs are primarily for professional services and related expenses for senior level employees and consultants on the administrative side, including initial business development activities, and in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 approximately $178,000 invested in the start of our commercialization efforts.
Research and development expenses grew 2,353% to $1,280,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $1,228,000 from $52,000 in 2007. Stock based compensation totaled $438,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, primarily stock option expense. There was none a year ago. Total research and development spending was $842,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, primarily human resource related, both employees and consultants and their associated travel expenses. A year ago very limited funds were available to spend on research and clinical trial efforts, and total spending for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $52,000.
Expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 related to the warrant liability, valued at $21.7 million as of September 30, 2008, is $16.9 million. Interest income of $128,000 in the first nine months of 2008, compared to almost none in 2007, is primarily related to income on the short term investment. The dividend on preferred stock of $622,000 is the 10% dividend on the average outstanding balance of the preferred stock payable since the preferred stock was issued, at approximately the first of the year 2008, through September 30, 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred a net loss of $26.0 million from our inception in September 2004 through September 30, 2008, largely non-cash in nature (stock based compensation and the warrant liability). Net cash used in operations from our inception through September 30, 2008 was $4.3 million.
As of September 30, 2008, we had working capital of approximately $2.3 million. We believe that we will continue to incur net losses and negative cash flow from operating activities into 2009. We have met our cash requirements to date through the private placement of common stock, the exercise of stock options, the private placement of preferred stock and the issuance of convertible notes. We have raised a net amount of approximately $7,700,000 since inception, most of which was raised in our December 2007 private placement. We believe the money raised in our December 2007 private placement will fund our operations and business plan into the first quarter of 2009, not into the second quarter of 2009 as previously estimated, and certainly not until we are cash flow positive. This change is a result of an increase in our payroll, which has increased based on our revised assessment of our progress towards commercialization of QTinno™ and our need to accelerate the hiring of personnel in both our development and sales infrastructure in order to achieve our goals.
Until we are able to generate sufficient liquidity from operations, we intend to continue to fund operations from cash on-hand and through private placements of our securities. Our continued operations will depend on whether we are able to generate sufficient liquidity from operations and/or raise additional capital through such sources as equity and debt financings, the exercise of the one-year Series J Warrants issued in the December 2007 private placement, collaborative and licensing agreements and strategic alliances. There can be no assurance that additional capital will become available or, if it does, that it will become available on acceptable terms, or that any additional capital we may obtain will be sufficient to meet our long-term needs. We currently have no commitments for any additional capital.
We have an outstanding promissory note to a former member of our Board of Directors in the principal amount of $10,316. The promissory note has a two-year term and an interest rate of 4.9%. Principal and interest accrued thereon are payable in full on the promissory note’s due date in November 2008.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. A summary of the significant accounting policies and the judgments that we make in the application of those policies is presented in Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
These financial statements are based on the selection of accounting policies and the application of accounting estimates, some of which require management to make significant assumptions. Actual results could differ materially from the estimated amounts. The following accounting policies are critical to understanding and evaluating our reported financial results:
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
We account for our stock options and warrants using the fair value method promulgated by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R “Share-Based Compensation” which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. Therefore, our results include non-cash compensation expense as a result of the issuance of stock options and warrants and we expect to record additional non-cash compensation expense in the future.
Accounting for and Classifying Series A Preferred Stock
We may be required to redeem shares of our Series A preferred stock for cash in an amount equal to the stated value of the shares of Series A preferred stock, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, upon the occurrence of certain events. As the Series A preferred stock redemption requirement may be triggered by events that are outside of our control, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, we recorded the fair value of the Series A preferred stock outside of common stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheet.
Accounting for and Classifying Warrants
The warrants we issued to the investors in the December 2007 private placement contain a “fundamental transaction” clause that, if, while the warrants are outstanding, we effect a merger or consolidation, or similar transactions as defined in the warrants, the warrant holders can demand net cash settlement. As the warrants contain a provision that could require cash settlement, pursuant to EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock,” the warrants were recorded as a derivative liability and valued at fair market value until we meet the criteria under EITF 00-19 for permanent equity. The net value of the warrants at the date of issuance was recorded as a warrant liability on the balance sheet in the amount of $4.8 million and reduced the value of the shares of Series A preferred stock subject to redemption. Subsequent to the initial issuance date, we are required to adjust, and have been adjusting, the warrants to fair value through current period operations.
In preparing our financial statements, management made a number of assumptions in connection with the accounting and reporting the issuance of the warrants as non-current liabilities:
● | The Series J-A warrants are only exercisable in the event the Series J warrants are exercised. |
| |
● | If the Series J warrants are exercised, the term of the Series J-A will automatically extend until December 27, 2012, which would give them a five-year term from date of issuance. |
| |
● | The holders of the warrants may exercise their options to purchase our common stock at any time during the term of the warrants. Absent specific events, described as a “Fundamental Transactions,” we are obligated to settle the warrants with unregistered shares of common stock. |
| |
● | The warrant holders can demand net cash settlement if we enter into a transaction that is either: |
| ● | an all cash sale, |
| | |
| ● | a “going private transaction,” or |
| | |
| ● | a transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Capital Market. |
● | Absent the occurrence of any of the three events described above, should the holders of the warrants exercise their warrants, we would meet the obligation by issuing shares of our unregistered common stock, not the transfer of current assets. |
| |
● | Based upon the facts and circumstances available to management, management made the following estimates and assumptions in accounting and reporting of the liabilities associates with the Series J and Series J-A warrant liabilities: |
| ● | During the foreseeable future, we have no plan to enter into a transaction that would require us to settle the Series J and Series J-A warrants with cash. |
| | |
| ● | The holders of the Series J warrants will exercise their warrants and we will receive shares of unregistered common stock. This assumption is based upon the economic value of the warrants. |
| | |
| ● | As a result of the Series J warrants being exercised, the Series J-A warrants will not expire until December 27, 2012. |
| ● | Further, if the Series J warrants are not exercised by December 27, 2008, the warrant liability for both the Series J and Series J-A warrants terminates. |
| | |
| ● | As of the date of the third quarter 2008 financial statements, we believe an event that would create an obligation to settle the warrants in cash or other current assets is remote and have classified the obligation as a long term liability. |
If an event occurs that would require the net cash settlement of the warrants, we will reclassify the obligation to current liabilities.
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value.
We carry certain financial instruments in the form of liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each period. We make estimates regarding valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The assets are comprised solely of short term investments consisting of certificate of deposits. The liabilities are comprised solely of derivative contracts that may have to settle in the form of cash if certain events occur. The derivative contracts comprise 100% of the liabilities measured at fair value.
Fair Value Measurement—Definition and Hierarchy.
We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, effective January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
In determining fair value, we use various valuation approaches, including market, income and/or cost approaches. SFAS No. 157 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
| ● | Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment. |
| | |
| ● | Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, directly or indirectly. |
| | |
| ● | Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |
The availability of observable inputs can vary and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security or instrument is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised us in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant who holds the asset or owes the liability rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, our own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. We use prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified from Level 1 to Level 2 or Level 2 to Level 3. See Note 7 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2008 for further information about our financial assets and liabilities that is accounted for at fair value.
Valuation Techniques.
Fair value for many derivative contracts is derived using pricing models. Pricing models take into account the contract terms (including maturity) as well as multiple inputs, including, where applicable, equity prices, interest rate yield curves, and volatility of the underlying security. Where appropriate, valuation adjustments are made to account for various factors, including bid-ask spreads and market liquidity. These adjustments are applied on a consistent basis and are based upon observable inputs where available.
Short-term Investment. Short term investment primarily consists of certificate of deposits where the market price was readily available and there was no change in fair valuing them at September 30, 2008.
Derivative Contracts. Derivative contracts are comprised of warrants issued to investors in connection with the placement of equity instruments in December 2007. As the contracts contain a provision that could require cash settlement, pursuant to EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock,” the warrants were recorded as a derivative liability and valued at fair market value until we meet the criteria under EITF 00-19 for permanent equity. The net value of the warrants at the date of issuance was recorded as a warrant liability on the balance sheet in the amount of $4.8 million and a reduction to shares subject to redemption. For the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, we recorded an unrealized gain (loss) on change in fair value of warrant liability of $10.0 million and ($16.9) million, respectively. While the change in the value of the derivative contract impacted both our liabilities and results of operations, the change did not impact our liquidity. We did not recognize any realized losses or gains in connection with financial assets or liabilities measured at fair values.
The fair value of the derivative contracts at September 30, 2008 was modeled using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: Dividend yield: -0-%, volatility: 121.06%; risk free rate: 3.37% to 3.64%.
Since we are newly established and have a limited operating history and external price data is extremely limited, the valuation of the derivative instruments required more judgment in the implementation of the valuation technique applied due to the reduced observability of inputs. Derivative contracts , for which observability of external price data is extremely limited, are valued based on an evaluation of the market for similar positions as indicated by industry competitors market activity (for example, assumed volatility of underlying shares of the common stock underlying the derivative) . Each position is evaluated independently taking into consideration the underlying collateral performance and pricing and liquidity. While these factors may be supported by historical and actual external observations, the determination of their value as it relates to specific positions nevertheless requires significant judgment. For example, if assumed projected volatility of our shares of common stock underlying the derivate contract were to increase from the assumed 121.06%, the value of the derivative contract would increase, resulting in an increase in liabilities and a corresponding decrease in earnings. The derivative instruments are valued based on data from comparable equity instruments tend to be of limited observability. These instruments involve significant unobservable inputs and are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
In general, as the price of our common stock underlying the derivative contact increases, our reported liability increases and operating results will be negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations; conversely, if our common stock price decreases, the changes in the derivative contract will improve our financial condition and results of operations. Given the changes in the derivative contract are non-cash and unrealized, any changes will not have an impact on our liquidity.
While these valuation factors may be supported by historical and actual external observations, the determination of their value as it relates to specific positions may require significant judgment. We are unable to predict whether or not the fair value of the derivative contract will approximate the ultimate realization on settlement. In the case of our warrant liability, we believe an event under the contract that would obligate us to settle the liability in cash is remote, and we have classified the liability as long term as a result. We do not expect it to impact our liquidity.
If the event occurred, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and operating results.
Reclassifications of Derivative Contracts.
There were no reclassifications of derivative contracts from Levels 1 or 2 to Level 3 during the period ended September 30, 2008.
Fair Value Control Processes.
We employ control processes to validate the fair value of its financial instruments, including those derived from pricing models. These control processes are designed to assure that the values used for financial reporting are based on observable inputs wherever possible. In the event that observable inputs are not available, the control processes are designed to assure that the valuation approach utilized is appropriate and consistently applied and that the assumptions are reasonable. These control processes include reviews of the pricing model’s theoretical soundness and appropriateness by our personnel with relevant expertise.
Where a pricing model is used to determine fair value, recently executed comparable transactions and other observable market data are considered for purposes of validating assumptions underlying the model.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not maintain off-balance sheet arrangements nor does it participate in non-exchange traded contracts requiring fair value accounting treatment.
Inflation
Our opinion is that inflation has not had a material effect on our operation.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements regarding our business development plans, clinical trials, regulatory reviews, timing, strategies, expectations, anticipated expenses levels, projected profits, business prospects and positioning with respect to market, demographic and pricing trends, business outlook, technology spending and various other matters (including contingent liabilities and obligations and changes in accounting policies, standards and interpretations) and express our current intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies or predictions. These forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions and currently available information and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.
Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of terms such as “anticipate,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “should” or similar expressions. Although we believe that the assumptions on which the forward-looking statements contained herein are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate given the inherent uncertainties as to the occurrence or nonoccurrence of future events. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including the potential risks and uncertainties set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2007 and Item 1A below and relate to our business plan, our business strategy, development of our proprietary technology platform and our products, timing of such development, timing and results of clinical trials, level and timing of FDA regulatory clearance or review, market acceptance of our products, protection of our intellectual property, implementation of our strategic, operating and people initiatives, benefits to be derived from personnel and directors, ability to commercialize our products, our assumptions regarding cash flow from operations and cash on-hand, the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure, implementation of marketing programs, our key agreements and strategic alliances, our ability to obtain additional capital as, and when, needed, and on acceptable terms and general economic conditions specific to our industry, any of which could impact sales, costs and expenses and/or planned strategies and timing. Until we are able to generate sufficient liquidity from operations, if we are not able to raise sufficient additional capital, it could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. We assume no obligation to, and do not currently intend to, update these forward-looking statements.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). This evaluation identified a deficiency in our disclosure controls and procedures. As a result of a comment received from the Accounting Staff of the Division of Corporate Finance of the SEC in its review of our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and the quarter ended March 31, 2008, contained in our Form S-1, we determined that an error was made in the accounting of the Series A Stock. We had recorded the Series A Stock as a liability as of December 27, 2007, the date it was issued, instead of as outside of shareholders’ equity. Due to the significance of this error, we have restated our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
We have taken remedial measures to establish effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, including reviewing all equity instruments to identify any securities that may have to be classified as temporary equity; hiring an outside accountant with expertise in derivatives accounting to assist us in this review; improving the supervision and training of our accounting staff to understand and implement accounting requirements, policies and procedures for the accounting of redeemable preferred securities.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
