Note 1 –Organization, Operations, and Basis of Presentation
Organization and Operations
Rackwise, Inc. and Subsidiary (collectively “Rackwise” or the “Company”) is headquartered in Folsom, California, with a software development and data center in Research Triangle, North Carolina. The Company creates Microsoft applications for network infrastructure administrators that provide for the modeling, planning, and documentation of data centers. The Company sells its applications in four primary products: Rackwise Standard Edition, Rackwise Enterprise Edition, Rackwise Data Center Manager and Rackwise Web edition.
On August 24, 2010, MIB Digital, Inc., a Florida public corporation formed on September 23, 2009, merged with Cahaba Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Nevada corporation formed on August 20, 2010 (“Cahaba”), for the sole purpose of effecting the merger. Cahaba was the survivor in the merger and the principal purposes of the merger were to change the domicile of the company from Florida to Nevada and to effect a recapitalization. On July 8, 2011, Cahaba merged with its newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary, Visual Network Design, Inc., a Nevada corporation. Cahaba was the survivor in the merger, but changed its name in the merger to Visual Network Design, Inc. (“Visual”). On September 21, 2011, Visual effected a merger with Visual Network Design, Inc., a Delaware corporation d/b/a Rackwise (“VNDI”). As a result of the merger, Visual acquired the business of VNDI and continued the existing business operations of VNDI, as its wholly owned subsidiary. On September 29, 2011, Visual merged with its newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary, Rackwise, Inc., a Nevada corporation formed on September 28, 2011. Visual was the survivor in the merger, but changed its name in the merger to Rackwise, Inc.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2012. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. It is recommended that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2012.
Note 2 - Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plans
The Company has incurred substantial recurring losses since its inception. The Company’s current strategy is to raise capital and invest that capital in such a way that the Company rapidly grows its market share and revenues, eventually resulting in profits and cash from operations. However, this strategy requires a rapid build-up of infrastructure that will initially exacerbate the Company’s operating deficit and use of cash in operations, because the expected revenue expansion will lag the investment in infrastructure. The capital that the Company has raised, and likely will continue to raise, will be used to invest in an expanded salesforce, to fund development of the software product, to fund incremental legal and accounting costs associated with being a public company and to fund the Company’s operating deficit and general working capital requirements.

Note 2 - Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plans - Continued
During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, the Company raised net proceeds of $1,447,114 (gross proceeds of $1,633,750 less issuance costs of $186,636) and $6,089,753 (gross proceeds of $6,545,012 less issuance costs of $455,259), respectively, in private offerings of common stock and warrants. This capital has permitted the Company to proceed with its infrastructure investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company hired 14 people, including 11 salespersons, which brought the Company to a full complement of sales staff in the United States and Latin America markets.
As expected, the Company’s net losses and usage of cash has expanded, while it awaits the expected benefits of its investment. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded net losses of approximately $2,229,000 and $899,000, respectively, while revenues expanded to approximately $684,000 from $536,000, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company used cash in operating activities of approximately $1,657,000 and $105,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2012, the Company’s cash balance, working capital deficiency, accumulated deficit and stockholders’ deficiency were approximately $190,000, $2,864,000, $36,116,000 and $2,465,000, respectively. Subsequent to March 31, 2012, the Company raised an additional $400,000 of gross proceeds from a private offering of convertible promissory notes.
The Company believes it will be successful in these efforts; however, there can be no assurance that it will meet its revenue forecasts or, if necessary, be successful in raising additional debt or equity financing to fund its operations on terms agreeable to the Company. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure that accounts receivable are not overstated due to uncollectibility. At the time accounts receivable are originated, the Company considers a reserve for doubtful accounts based on the creditworthiness of customers. The provision for uncollectible amounts is continually reviewed and adjusted to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate to cover future losses. The allowance is management’s best estimate of uncollectible amounts and is determined based on historical performance that is tracked by the Company on an ongoing basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s losses from bad debts were not material. Actual losses could differ materially in the near term from the amounts estimated in determining the allowance.
In addition, the Company also factors its receivables with full recourse and, as a result, accounts for the factoring akin to a secured borrowing, maintaining the gross receivable asset and due to factor liability on its books and records. In connection with the factoring of its receivables, the Company estimates an allowance for factoring fees associated with the collections. These fees range from 2% to 30% depending on the actual timing of the collection. The actual recognition of such fees may differ from the estimates depending upon the timing of collections.
As of March 31, 2012, the Company had three customers representing 51%, 23% and 12% of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had two customers representing 46% and 46% of accounts receivable.

Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions of the Company are stock-based compensation, the useful lives of fixed assets and intangibles, depreciation and amortization, the allowances for factoring fees and income taxes, and the fair value of derivative liabilities and warrants.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the binomial lattice options pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Customers
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited with major financial institutions. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable amount. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers and generally requires payment in 30 days. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and provides an allowance for potential credit losses as necessary. Historically, such losses have been within management’s expectations.
Revenues derived from customers in the United Kingdom denominated in U.S. dollars were approximately $9,000 and $15,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenues derived from customers in Austria denominated in U.S. dollars were approximately $3,000 and $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenues derived from customers in Australia denominated in U.S. dollars were approximately $13,000 and $12,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenues derived from customers in Canada denominated in U.S. dollars were approximately $2,000 and $3,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenues derived from customers in Russia denominated in U.S. dollars were approximately $0 and $6,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. All remaining revenues were derived from customers in the United States of America. All of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States of America. One customer provided 19% and 15% of revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Intangible Assets
All of the Company’s intangible assets consist of shapes acquired from a graphics designer for the Company’s database library that are schematics of specific computer equipment. These shapes are utilized in the Company’s software with multiple customers in order to enable them to visualize and differentiate the specific computer equipment in their overall network. For example, the Company’s software’s graphical user interface displays a unique shape for each make and model of computer server. Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 2.5 years.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC topic 985-605, “Software Revenue Recognition,” perpetual license revenue is recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer, which generally occurs after a license key has been delivered electronically to the customer. The Company’s perpetual license agreements do not (a) provide for a right of return, (b) contain acceptance clauses or (c) contain refund provisions.
In the case of the Company’s (a) subscription-based licenses, and (b) maintenance arrangements, when sold separately, revenues are recognized ratably over the service period. The Company defers revenue for software license and maintenance agreements when cash has been received from the customer and the agreement does not qualify for recognition under ASC Topic 985-605. Such amounts are reflected as deferred revenues in the accompanying financial statements. The Company’s subscription license agreements do not (a) provide for a right of return, (b) contain acceptance clauses or (c) contain refund provisions.
The Company provides professional services to its customers. Such services, which include training, installation, and implementation, are recognized when the services are performed. The Company also provides volume discounts to various customers. In accordance with ASC Topic 985-605, the discount is allocated proportionally to the delivered elements of the multiple-element arrangement and recognized accordingly.
For software arrangements with multiple elements, which in its case are comprised of (1) licensing fees, (2) professional services, and (3) maintenance/support, revenue is recognized dependent upon whether vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists for separating each of the elements. Licensing rights are generally delivered at time of invoice, professional services are delivered within one to six months and maintenance is for a twelve month contract. Accordingly, licensing revenues are recognized upon invoice, professional services are recognized when all services have been delivered and maintenance revenue is amortized over a twelve month period. The Company determined that VSOE exists for both the delivered and undelivered elements of its multiple-element arrangements. The Company limits its assessment of fair value to either (a) the price charged when the same element is sold separately or (b) the price established by management having the relevant authority. There may be cases, however, in which there is objective and reliable evidence of fair value of the undelivered item(s) but no such evidence for the delivered item(s). In those cases, the selling price method is used to allocate the arrangement consideration, if all other revenue recognition criteria are met. Under the selling price method, the amount of consideration allocated to the delivered item(s) is calculated based on estimated selling prices.
The Company manages the business as a single segment, but it has revenues from multiple sources.

Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies – Continued
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue, approximated fair value as of the balance sheet date presented, because of the relatively short maturity dates on these instruments. The carrying amounts of the financing arrangements issued approximate fair value as of the balance sheet date presented, because interest rates on these instruments approximate market interest rates after consideration of stated interest rates, anti-dilution protection and associated warrants.
Debt Discount and Amortization of Debt Discount
Debt discount represents the fair value of embedded conversion options of various convertible debt instruments and attached convertible equity instruments issued in connection with debt instruments. The debt discount is amortized over the earlier of (i) the term of the debt or (ii) conversion of the debt, using the straight-line method which approximates the interest method. The amortization of debt discount is included as a component of other expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has an equity plan which allows for the granting of stock options to its employees, directors and consultants for a fixed number of shares with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at date of grant. The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Since the shares underlying the Company’s equity are not currently registered, the fair value of the Company’s restricted equity instruments was estimated based on historical observations of cash prices paid for the Company’s restricted common stock.
Stock-based compensation for directors is reflected in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Stock-based compensation for employees and consultants could be reflected in (a) sales and marketing expenses; (b) research and development expenses; or (c) general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2012 excludes the weighted average impact of the 3,000,000 escrowed shares. Weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2011 includes the weighted average underlying shares exercisable with respect to the 1,609,747 warrants exercisable at prices of $0.01 per share or less. In accordance with the accounting literature, (1) the Company has given effect to the issuance of these warrants in computing basic net loss per share because the underlying shares are issuable for little or no cash consideration; and (2) the Company has excluded the impact of the escrowed shares because they are contingently returnable. Diluted net loss per common share adjusts basic net loss per common share for the effects of potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which such effects exist and are dilutive. At March 31, 2012, outstanding stock options and warrants to purchase 23,275,000 and 49,815,183 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share because their impact would have been anti-dilutive. At March 31, 2011, outstanding stock options and warrants to purchase 13,575,986 and 11,889,752 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share because their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 4 – Derivative Liabilities – Related Parties
In accordance with ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”, instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments. The Company has determined that embedded conversion options of various notes payable which do not have fixed settlement provisions and accordingly are not indexed to its own stock, are deemed to be derivative liabilities. The embedded conversion options of the various notes issued by the Company do not have fixed settlement provisions as the conversion and exercise prices are not fixed and determinable on the date of issuance. In accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”), the conversion options of the notes were bifurcated from their respective host contracts and recognized as derivative liabilities. The warrants issued in connection with the notes payable were not deemed to be derivative liabilities because they have a fixed settlement provision. The fair values of these derivative liabilities are re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.
The fair values of the embedded conversion options, which are associated with notes payable issued to related parties, were measured using the binomial lattice options pricing model with the following assumptions:
| For The Three |
| Months Ended |
| March 31, |
| 2011 |
| |
Risk free rate | 0.10% - 0.17% |
Expected volatility | 65% - 70% |
Expected life (in years) | 0.13 - 0.38 |
Expected dividend yield | 0% |
The risk-free interest rate was based on the rates of treasury securities with the same terms as the terms of the instruments. The Company based expected volatility on the historical volatility for ten comparable publicly traded company’s common stock. The expected life of the notes was based on the maturity of the notes. The expected dividend yield of zero was based upon the fact that the Company has not historically paid dividends, and does not expect to pay dividends in the future. The gain on change in fair value of derivative liabilities, included in other income in the accompanying statements of operations was $42,719 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
On September 21, 2011, immediately prior to, and conditioned upon the effectiveness of the reverse merger, all of the outstanding non-bridge convertible notes and the related accrued interest converted into equity. At that time the derivative liability associated with the embedded conversion options of notes issued to related parties was revalued at $1,133,186 and was reclassified to equity.

Note 5 – Equity
Consulting Agreements
On August 21, 2011, the Company entered into a three-month agreement for public relations and financial communications services. In consideration of services to be rendered, the Company agreed to pay $15,000 in cash per month in advance, for an aggregate of $45,000, and, subject to the consummation of the reverse merger, to issue 70,000 shares of vested Company common stock per month, for an aggregate of 210,000 shares, of which, 70,000 shares remained unissued as of December 31, 2011. Accordingly, during 2011, the Company accrued the equity issuance liability of $15,960. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the remaining 70,000 shares were issued and the $15,960 issuance date value of the shares was credited to equity.
On December 19, 2011, the Company renewed an agreement for public relations and financial communications services for a three-month term. In consideration of services to be rendered, the Company agreed to pay $7,500 in cash per month in advance, for an aggregate of $22,500, and to issue 25,000 shares of vested Company common stock per month, for an aggregate of 75,000 shares. On February 3, 2012, after the Company had made an initial cash payment of $7,500 in December 2011, the Company terminated this agreement for non-performance. No shares were issued and no stock-based compensation expense was recorded related to this renewal agreement.
On November 16, 2011, the Company entered into a twelve-month agreement for investor relations services with a consultant. In consideration of services to be rendered, the Company agreed to pay $6,000 in cash per month in advance, for an aggregate of $72,000, and to immediately issue 500,000 shares of vested Company common stock, plus an additional 500,000 shares of common stock at the six month anniversary of the agreement. The Company valued the shares and recorded the full value of issued shares and cash payments as consulting expense at the issuance date. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $114,000 (value of the first 500,000 shares), included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. On January 11, 2012, the Company terminated this agreement and on January 16, 2012, the Company entered into a settlement agreement whereby the consultant agreed to accept the initial $12,000 of 2011 cash payments and 250,000 shares of common stock (by returning 250,000 shares of common stock to the Company for cancellation) in full satisfaction of the terminated agreement. The Company reversed $57,000 of stock-based compensation expense upon cancellation of the returned shares.
On November 30, 2011, the Company entered into a six-month agreement for investor relations services. In consideration of services to be rendered, the Company agreed to pay a minimum of $7,000 in cash per month in advance (subject to supplemental performance-based bonuses), for an aggregate of $42,000, and to immediately issue 75,000 shares of vested Company common stock, of which, 75,000 shares remained unissued as of December 31, 2011. Accordingly, during 2011, the Company accrued the equity issuance liability of $17,100. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the remaining 75,000 shares were issued and the $17,100 issuance date value of the shares was credited to equity.
Second Private Offering
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company had three additional closings of a private offering that commenced in December 2011 (the “Second Private Offering”) pursuant to which an aggregate of 4,356,669 investor units (“Second Units”) were sold at a price of $0.375 per Second Unit, resulting in $1,447,114 of aggregate net proceeds ($1,633,750of gross proceeds less $186,636 of issuance costs).Each Second Unit consists of one share of common stock (deemed to represent $0.345 of the per Second Unit cost) and a warrant to purchase one-quarter share of common stock (deemed to represent $0.030 of the per Second Unit cost) (the “Second Investor Warrants”), such that an aggregate of 4,356,669 shares of common stock and Second Investor Warrants to purchase 1,089,169 shares of common stock were issued.
The Second Private Offering was made on a “best efforts” basis with respect to a maximum of 8,000,000 Second Units ($3,000,000 of aggregate proceeds). In addition, in the event the maximum number of Second Units was sold, the placement agent and the Company had the option to offer an additional 2,666,667 Second Units ($1,000,000 of aggregate proceeds).

Note 5 – Equity - Continued
Second Private Offering – Continued
The Second Investor Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $1.00 per full share of common stock. The Second Investor Warrants may be called for redemption by the Company at any time upon not less than 30 or more than 60 days prior written notice, provided that, at the time of delivery of such notice, (i) there is a registration statement covering the resale of the shares underlying the warrants; (ii) the average closing bid price for the Company’s common stock for each of the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the date of the notice of redemption is at least $2.00, as proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares or like events; and (iii) the average trading volume for the Company’s common stock is at least 100,000 shares per day during the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the date of the notice of redemption and that during such 20-day period there is no more than one trading day in which there is no trading in the Company’s common stock.
The Second Investor Warrants, at the option of the holder, may be exercised by cash payment of the exercise price to the Company. Alternatively, the Second Investor Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis commencing one year after the date of the final closing of the Second Private Offering if no registration statement registering the shares underlying the investor warrants is then in effect. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the investor warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including stock splits, stock dividends, and future issuances of the Company’s equity securities without consideration or for consideration per share less than $0.375 (as specified in the warrant agreement).
The placement agent for the Second Private Offering receives a cash commission of 10% or 5% of the funds raised from investors in the Second Private Offering that were directly attributable or referred to the placement agent, respectively. In addition, the placement agent receives five-year warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the “Second Broker Warrants”) equal to 10% or 5% of the Second Units sold to investors in the Second Private Offering that were directly attributable or referred to the placement agent, respectively. As a result of the foregoing arrangement, in connection with the three 2012 closings, the placement agent (1) was paid aggregate cash commissions of $136,500; and (2) was issued Second Broker Warrants to purchase 364,000 shares of common stock.
The Second Broker Warrants are identical to the Second Investor Warrants in all material respects except that (i) the resale of the common stock underlying them is not covered by a registration statement; and (ii) they have an exercise price of $0.375 per share of common stock.
In connection with the Second Private Offering, the Company executed a registration rights agreement, whereby the Company committed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the common stock underlying the Second Units sold or to be sold in the Second Private Offering and the common stock that is issuable upon exercise of the Second Investor Warrants (but not the common stock that is issuable upon exercise of the Second Broker Warrants) within 75 days of the final closing of the Second Private Offering, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective no later than 150 days after it is filed. The Company will be liable for monetary penalties at the monthly rate of 1% (to a maximum of 10%) of each holder’s investment in the Second Private Offering until the failure to meet the above deadlines are cured or upon the occurrence of certain other specified events. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payments shall be owed with respect to that portion of a holder’s registrable securities (1) which may be sold by such holder under Rule 144 or pursuant to another exemption from registration; or (2) which the Company is unable to register due to limits imposed by Rule 415 under the Securities Act (which shares would then be eligible for “piggyback” registration rights with respect to any registration statement filed by the Company following the effectiveness of the original registration statement). On January 17, 2012, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 that included the Second Private Offering registrable securities.
Stock Warrants
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company issued warrants to purchase 50,654 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.252 per share for a term of five years to two related party note holders in connection with the issuance of convertible notes payable aggregating $63,000 in principal amount (see Note 6 – Related Party Transactions). Using the binomial lattice options pricing model, the Company determined that the relative fair value of the warrants was $4,750. The fair value was recorded as a debt discount and amortized over the term of the notes. The assumptions used in the binomial lattice options pricing model were as follows: risk-free rate of 1.77%; expected volatility of 70.0%; expected term of 4.2 years; expected dividend yield of 0%.

Note 5 – Equity – Continued
Stock Warrants - Continued
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,453,169 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.843 per share. As of March 31, 2012, there were 49,815,138 outstanding and exercisable stock warrants with a weighted average exercise price of $0.634 per share, a weighted average remaining contractual life of 4.76 years and $96,140 of intrinsic value. The intrinsic value is calculated on the difference between the fair market value of the Company’s restricted stock, which was $0.345 per share as of March 31, 2012, and the exercise price of the warrants.
Stock Options
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company granted no stock options.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company granted to its directors, officers, employees and consultants ten-year options to purchase an aggregate of 23,275,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.345 per share, of which 12,475,000 were granted under the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) and the remaining 10,800,000 (of which 6,900,000 were granted to the new CEO) were not granted pursuant to an established plan. The options vest as follows: (i) an option to purchase 6,900,000 shares of common stock granted to the new CEO vested on an accelerated basis in November 2011 based on the new CEO meeting specified performance criteria; (ii) an option to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock vests one-third immediately, one-third on September 21, 2012 and one-third on September 21, 2013; (iii) options to purchase an aggregate of 13,325,000 shares of common stock vest one-third 0.7-1.0 years from the date of grant, one-third 1.7-2.0 years from the date of grant and one-third 2.7-3.0 years from the date of grant; and (iv) options to purchase an aggregate of 550,000 shares of common stock vest ratably on a quarterly basis over a three-year term.
The aggregate grant date value of approximately $5,090,000 will be recognized proportionate to the vesting terms.The weighted average estimated fair value of the stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $0.22 per share.The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model were as follows: risk-free rate of 1.03%; expected volatility of 75.0%; expected term of 5.79 years; expected dividend yield of 0%. In March 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors determined that the New CEO’s options became fully vested effective November 2011 as a result of the execution of a strategic alliance with a major customer. Although the option was not formally granted prior to December 31, 2011, the New CEO had a contractual right to the vested options pursuant to his employment agreement, and, accordingly, the Company accrued the equity issuance liability of $1,526,970 at December 31, 2011 based on the full value of the option as of December 31, 2011, when the restricted stock was valued at $0.345 per share.On January 9, 2012, theNew CEO’s optionswere issued and the $1,444,170 issuance date value of the options was credited to equity.The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model were as follows: risk-free rate of 0.85%; expected volatility of 75.0%; expected term of 5.00 years; expected dividend yield of 0%.
The risk-free interest rate was based on rates of treasury securities with the same expected term as the options. Expected volatility is based on implied volatilities from similar companies that operate within the similar industry sector index. The Company calculated the historical volatility for each comparable company to come up with an expected average volatility and then adjusted the expected volatility based on factors such as historical stock transactions, major business transactions, and industry trends. The expected terms of the options are estimated based on factors such as vesting periods, contractual expiration dates and historical exercise behavior. The expected dividend yield was based upon the fact that the Company has not historically paid dividends, and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the overall stock-based compensation expense recorded by the Company associated with options was $430,960 and $79,637, respectively. These amounts have been included in operating expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. As of March 31, 2012, there was $3,131,626 unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that will be amortized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years. As of March 31, 2012, there were 23,275,000 outstanding stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $0.345 per share, a weighted average remaining contractual life of 9.8 years and no intrinsic value. As of March 31, 2012, there were 7,733,333 exercisable stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $0.345 per share, a weighted average remaining contractual life of 9.8 years and no intrinsic value.

On April 20, 2012, the Company completed and closed an offering of 12% Convertible Promissory Notes in which it sold an aggregate principal amount of $400,000 in notes to four persons. Each of the notes matures 90 days after issuance and is convertible, at the option of the holder, into Company units, at a price of $0.45 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and one warrant representing the right to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock for a period of five years from issuance at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and will contain weighted average anti-dilution price protection.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related notes. References in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to “us,” “we,” “our,” and similar terms refer to Rackwise, Inc., a Nevada corporation. This discussion includes forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the federal securities laws, based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors.

We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks and other influences, many of which are beyond our control, which may influence the accuracy of the statements and the projections upon which the statements are based. Factors that may affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risk factors in Item 1.A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2012. Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.
Overview
We are a software development, sales and marketing company. We create Microsoft applications for network infrastructure administrators that provide for the modeling, planning and documentation of data centers. Our Data Center Management (DCM) software product, Rackwise®, is used by over 130 companies worldwide. Our product provides a multi-layered set of solutions for reporting on the multiple aspects of a company’s data center, including power consumption, power efficiency, carbon footprint, green grid and density requirements. This reporting allows customers to plan data center expansions and contractions as well as equipment usage more energy efficiently and cost effectively. Our product’s advanced design and ability to tightly interface with other new technologies, like Intel’s newest proprietary computer chips, enables it to collect more real-time information (real-time means instantaneous and continuous) associated with more data center equipment usage than products from our competitors. We intend to continue to take advantage of new technologies which will add to our competitive differentiators.
As reflected in our financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, we have generated significant losses, which raises substantial doubt that we will be able to continue operations as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in their report for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 stating that we have not achieved a sufficient level of revenues to support our business and have suffered recurring losses from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our ability to execute our business plan is dependent upon our generating cash flow sufficient to fund operations. Our business strategy may not be successful in addressing these issues. If we cannot execute our business plan, our stockholders may lose their entire investment in us.
We expect that with the infusion of additional capital and with additional management we will be able to increase sales and professional services and expand the breadth of our product offerings. We intend to do the following:
| Ÿ | Continue to add interfaces to our existing product offerings, which would make us a differentiator in the market. |
| Ÿ | Establish industry partners, “value added resellers” (VARs), and strategic services partners to perform some of the services we are being asked to perform post sales cycles. |
| Ÿ | Initiate specific new marketing efforts to coordinate and lead our initiatives for greater market recognition with special emphasis on contacting and educating industry analysts to spread the word of our capabilities. |
| Ÿ | Expand the current sales model of one team to six teams covering six regions and build a vertical sales model to address data center centric industry segments. |
| Ÿ | Expand our product offerings to include monitoring and managing the balance of our customer’s IT infrastructure. |
Recent Developments and Trends
In January 2012, we completed a private placement offering pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of approximately 8,269,000 units of our securities at a price of $0.375 per unit for gross proceeds of approximately $3,101,000. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one five-year warrant to purchase one-quarter share of our common stock an exercise price of $1.00 per whole share, subject to weighted-average anti-dilution protection. The proceeds from these private placement offerings will be used to fund (1) $180,000–$240,000 per annum of recurring legal and accounting expenses as a result of being a public company, (2) our existing operating deficits while we invest in our sales, R&D and support functions, which we believe will enable us to broaden our product line(s) and enhance our marketing efforts to increase revenues and generate operating surpluses by the end of 2012, and (3) general working capital needs of the business.
In April 2012, we completed a private placement offering pursuant to which we sold an aggregate principal amount of $400,000 in 12% Convertible Promissory Notes. Each of the Notes matures 90 days after issuance and is convertible, at the option of the holder, into Company units, at a price of $0.45 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of our common stock and one warrant representing the right to purchase one share of our common stock for a period of five years from issuance at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. If issued, the warrant will be exercisable on a cashless basis and will contain weighted average anti-dilution price protection.
Revenues
Revenues are generated from the licensing, subscription and maintenance of our enterprise software product and to a lesser extent professional services fees.
Direct cost of revenues
Direct cost of revenues includes the cost of server hosting, the cost of installing our software for new clients, commissions to third parties for installation of our software, the costs of support and operations dedicated to customer services and the costs of maintaining and amortizing our proprietary database.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales expenses consist of compensation and overhead associated with our channel sales, inside sales, direct sales and product sales support functions. Marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and overhead associated with our marketing function, trade shows and Google ads, which are used as a main source of sales leads.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses consist mainly of compensation and overhead of research and development personnel and professional services firms performing research and development functions, plus amortization of our proprietary database.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consist of the compensation and overhead of administrative personnel and professional services firms performing administrative functions, including management, accounting, finance and legal services, plus expenses associated with infrastructure, including depreciation, information technology, telecommunications, facilities and insurance.
Interest, net
Interest, net consists primarily of interest expense associated with our notes payable.
Amortization of debt discount
Amortization of debt discount represents the amortization of the debt discount over the shorter of (a) the term of the related debt, or (b) the conversion of the debt into equity instruments. Debt discount consists of the fair value of the conversion options associated with certain debt, plus the fair value of the warrants provided to certain debt holders.
Gain on change in fair value of derivative liabilities
Gain on change in fair value of derivative liabilities represents the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities over a reporting period, since derivative liabilities are required to be revalued at each reporting date.
Other income
Other income generally represents non-recurring income.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2011
Overview
Our current strategy is to raise capital and invest that capital in such a way that we rapidly grow our market share and revenues, eventually resulting in profits and cash from operations. However, this strategy requires a rapid build-up of infrastructure that will initially exacerbate our operating deficit, because the expected revenue expansion will lag the investment in infrastructure. The capital that we have raised, and likely will continue to raise, will be used to invest in an expanded salesforce, to fund development of the software product, to fund incremental legal and accounting costs associated with being a public company and to fund our operating deficit and general working capital requirements.
The capital that we raised in 2011 and into 2012 has permitted us to proceed with our planned infrastructure investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we hired 14 people, including 11 salespersons, which brought us to a full complement of sales staff in the United States and Latin America markets. As expected, our net losses have expanded, while we await the expected benefits of our investment. However, there can be no assurance that we will meet our revenue forecasts.
We reported net losses of $2,229,115 and $899,127 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in net loss of $1,329,988, or 148%, is primarily due to the $1,464,463 or 106% increase in operating and other expenses, including a $660,925 increase in sales and marketing expenses, a $469,563 increase in research and development expenses, and a $746,027 increase in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a $412,052 decrease in net other expense.
Revenues
Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $684,149 as compared to revenues of $536,475 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Revenues increased by $147,674, or 28%. Licensing revenues were $331,504 as compared to $146,612 in the comparative quarter, an increase of $184,892, or 126%, due to results achieved by the expanded salesforce. Maintenance revenues were $284,723 as compared to $277,889 in the comparative quarter, an increase of $6,834, or 2%. Subscription revenues were $67,922 as compared to $99,974 in the comparative quarter, a decrease of $32,052, or 32%, due to a shift from subscription sales to licensing sales. We recorded no professional service revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $12,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of 100%.
Direct cost of revenues
The direct cost of revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $61,965 and $48,766, respectively, representing an increase of $13,199, or 27%. The direct cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was approximately 9% during both periods. It is impractical for us to break out direct cost of revenues by the types of revenues cited in the revenue discussion above, because it would be necessary to implement time reporting in our small customer support function, which would reduce productivity with little added value.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses increased by $660,925, or 266%, during the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $909,073 from $248,148 during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase primarily relates to recruiting and compensation costs associated with expansion of the salesforce, in accordance with our strategic plan.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses increased by $469,563, or 274%, during the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $641,112 from $171,549 during the three months ended March 31, 2011. This increase also primarily relates to recruiting and compensation costs associated with expansion of the research and development staff, in accordance with our strategic plan.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses were $1,309,504 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $563,477 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $746,027, or 132%. This increase resulted primarily from additional legal and audit fees associated with public company reporting, an approximately $150,000 non-cash charge associated with the future cash flow shortfall associated with the subletting of our Las Vegas office space, plus a slight build-up of executive and administrative costs to drive and support our business expansion.
Interest, net
Interest expense was $673 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $140,383 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, representing a decrease of $139,710, or 100%. The decrease resulted primarily from the conversion of significantly all outstanding notes payable to equity on September 21, 2011.
Amortization of debt discount
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we recorded no expense for amortization of debt discount as compared to $305,998 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, representing a decrease of 100%. The decrease resulted primarily from the conversion of outstanding notes payable to equity on September 21, 2011.
Gain on change in fair value of derivative liabilities
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we recorded no gain on change in fair value of our derivative liabilities as compared to a gain of $42,719 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, representing a decrease of 100%. On September 21, 2011, upon the conversion of outstanding notes payable to equity, the derivative liabilities were marked to fair value and then were reclassified to equity.
Other income
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we recorded other income of $9,063 which primarily related to a gain on the disposition of fixed assets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We measure our liquidity a variety of ways, including the following:
| | March 31, 2012 | | | December 31, 2011 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Cash | | $ | 190,167 | | | $ | 613,443 | |
Working Capital Deficiency | | $ | (2,863,890 | ) | | $ | (3,944,873 | ) |
Notes Payable (Gross - Current) | | $ | 50,000 | | | $ | 50,000 | |
Due to our brief history and historical operating losses, our operations have not been a source of liquidity, and our primary sources of liquidity have been debt and proceeds from the sale of our equity securities in several private placements. Our current business plan requires us to raise additional capital in order to fund a rapid build-up of infrastructure. As a result, we expect revenue expansion will lag spending on investment in infrastructure, which will initially exacerbate our operating deficit and use of cash in operations.
Prior to our September 21, 2011 merger, we relied primarily on debt financing from our directors and principal stockholders and their affiliates to fund our operations. We borrowed an aggregate of $2,337,980 and $1,453,757 (net of repayments of $200,000) during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
In November 2011, we completed a private placement offering in which we sold an aggregate of 20,311,251 units of our securities at a price of $0.25 per unit, consisting of 20,311,251 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 10,155,627 shares of common stock, and received gross proceeds of $5,077,811, which included the conversion of the $2,275,000 principal amount, plus accrued interest, of outstanding bridge notes. In connection with the offering, we paid the placement agent in the offering aggregate commissions of $153,000 and issued to the placement agent warrants to purchase an aggregate of 612,000 shares of our common stock, and incurred other offering costs of approximately $186,000.
In January 2012, we completed a private placement offering in which we sold an aggregate of 8,269,203 units of our securities at a price of $0.375 per unit, consisting of 8,269,203 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 2,067,303 shares of common stock, and received gross proceeds of $3,100,950. In connection with the offering, we paid the placement agent in the offering aggregate commissions of $217,595 and issued to the placement agent warrants to purchase an aggregate of 580,253 shares of our common stock.
In April 2012, we completed a private placement offering in which we sold an aggregate of $400,000 in principal amount of 12% convertible promissory notes.
The proceeds from these private placement offerings is being used to fund (1) $180,000–$240,000 per annum of recurring legal and accounting expenses as a result of being a public company, (2) our existing operating deficits while we invest in our sales, research and development and support functions, which we believe will enable us to broaden our product line(s) and enhance our marketing efforts to increase revenues and generate operating surpluses by the end of 2012, and (3) general working capital needs of the business. We do not currently anticipate any material capital expenditures.
Availability of Additional Funds
As a result of the above developments, which raised additional cash and, importantly, resulted in the conversion of most of our indebtedness into equity, our working capital situation improved. Looking forward, our business plan relies on accelerated sales to provide cash to fund our working capital needs. These working capital needs include funding the development of future releases of our software, additional headcount to sell and to service a broader market for our products, and other working capital needs necessary to grow our company. Our ability to generate additional sales, and the timing of such sales, are dependent on many factors outside of our control. As a result, we may need to raise additional funds through one or more offerings of debt, equity or convertible securities. There can be no assurance, however, that such financing will be available or will be available on acceptable terms.
Various factors outside of our control, including the spending on IT infrastructure, overall market and economic conditions, the downturn and volatility in the U.S. equity markets and the trading price of our common stock may limit our ability to raise the capital needed to execute our plan of operations. We recognize that the U.S. economy is currently experiencing a period of uncertainty and investor appetite for our securities may not be at their peak. These or other factors could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital. As a result of an inability to raise additional capital, our short-term or long-term liquidity and our ability to execute our plan of operations could be significantly impaired. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011
As expected, our net losses and usage of cash has expanded, while we await the expected benefits of our infrastructure investments.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, amounted to $1,656,637 and $105,481, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the $2,229,115 net loss, partially offset by $631,341 of non-cash adjustments, and $58,863 needed to fund changes in operating assets and liabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the $899,127 net loss, partially offset by $244,356 of non-cash adjustments, and $549,290 was generated from changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $213,140 and $3,188, respectively. The net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 related primarily to technology for new hires and furniture for the new Folsom, California office. Acquisitions of intangible assets (shapes acquired from a graphic designer for our database library that are schematics of specific computer equipment) for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $24,252 and $3,188, respectively.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $1,446,501 and $61,303, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the net cash provided by financing activities resulted primarily from net proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants of $1,447,114 (gross proceeds of $1,633,750 less $186,636 of issuance costs). For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the net cash provided by financing activities resulted primarily from new borrowings of $63,000.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There are no material changes from the critical accounting policies set forth in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our December 31, 2011 financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2012. Please refer to that document for disclosures regarding the critical accounting policies related to our business.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and interim chief financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012 we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that as of March 31, 2012 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012, we hired a new Chief Financial Officer and Controller. Otherwise, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time we may be a defendant and plaintiff in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. We are currently not a party to any material legal proceedings or government actions, including any bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceedings. Furthermore, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, our management is not aware of any proceedings to which any of our directors, officers, or affiliates, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate, or security holder is a party adverse to our company or has a material interest adverse to us.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Not applicable.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In December 2011, we commenced a private placement offering consisting of a maximum of 8,000,000 units of our securities, with an over-allotment option for up to an additional 2,666,667 units, at a price of $0.375 per unit (the “2012 PPO”). Each unit consisted of (i) one share of our common stock and (ii) a warrant representing the right to purchase one-quarter of one share of our common stock, exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $1.00 per whole share. The exercise price and number of shares of our common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including stock splits, stock dividends and future issuances of our equity securities without consideration or for consideration per share less than $0.375 (as specified in the warrant).
| Ÿ | At the initial closing on December 16, 2011, we sold an aggregate of 3,912,534 units for gross proceeds of $1,467,200. |
| Ÿ | On January 6, 2012, we completed the second closing of the 2012 PPO, in which we sold an aggregate of 3,590,002 units for gross proceeds of $1,346,250. |
| Ÿ | On January 13, 2012, we completed the third closing of the 2012 PPO, in which we sold an aggregate of 400,000 units for gross proceeds of $150,000. |
| Ÿ | On January 24, 2012, we completed the fourth and final closing of the 2012 PPO, in which we sold an aggregate of 366,667 units for gross proceeds of $137,500. |
In aggregate, we sold 8,269,203 units in the 2012 PPO for gross proceeds of $3,100,950.
In connection with the 2012 PPO, we agreed to pay the placement agent a commission of 10% of the funds raised from investors in the 2012 PPO that were directly introduced to us by the placement agent and a commission of 5% of the funds raised from investors in the 2012 PPO that were referred by us to the placement agent. In addition, the placement agent received five-year warrants exercisable at $0.375 per share, subject to weighted-average anti-dilution protection, to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to 10% of the units sold to investors in the 2012 PPO that were directly introduced to us by the placement agent and warrants to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to 5% of the units sold to investors in the 2012 PPO that were referred by us to the placement agent. As a result of the foregoing arrangement, in connection with the 2012 PPO, the placement agent was paid aggregate commissions of $217,595 and was issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 580,253 shares of our common stock.
The 2012 PPO was conducted pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D and by Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. The units were offered and sold only to “accredited investors,” as that term is defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D, and/or to persons who were neither resident in, nor citizens of, the United States.
On January 9, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized the grant of options under our 2011 Equity Incentive Plan to employees to purchase an aggregate of 13,500,000 shares of our common stock. Of these options, options to purchase an aggregate of 12,475,000 shares of our common stock, exercisable for a period of ten years at an exercise price of $0.345 per share, had been granted as of March 31, 2012. The issuances of the options were made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering or pursuant to benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided under Rule 701.
On January 9, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized the grant of options outside the 2011 Plan to officers, directors, advisors and consultants to purchase an aggregate of 10,800,000 shares of our common stock. All of these options, exercisable for a period of ten years at an exercise price of $0.345 per share, have been granted as of March 31, 2012. The issuances of the options were made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering or pursuant to benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided under Rule 701.
In March 2012, we issued 100,000 shares of our common stock to our chief financial officer pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement. The issuance was made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering or pursuant to benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided under Rule 701.
On November 2011, we entered into a consulting services agreement. As partial consideration for the services to be rendered, we agreed to issue seven-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.66 per share. In April 2012, we amended the agreement pursuant to which, among other things, we agreed to issue seven-year warrants to purchase an additional 500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The securities were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provide by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.
In May 2012, we appointed two additional members to our Industry Advisory Board. In connection with such appointments, we granted each member options to purchase 250,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock, vesting ratably at the end of each of the first 12 quarterly periods from the effective date of his appointment to the Advisory Board. The options are subject to approval by our Board of Directors. The options were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provide by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
We are in default under a December 8, 2008, 5% Senior Promissory Note (the “Note”) issued to a principal shareholder. Interest and principal became due on the Note on June 10, 2009. As at March 31, 2012 we owed $50,000 in principal and $8,273 in accrued interest on the Note. We intend to pay off the Note, including all accrued interest due thereon, as and when funding or revenues permit.
