(1) Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies | |||||||||||||||||
Dataram Corporation (“the Company”) is a developer, manufacturer and marketer of large capacity memory products primarily used in high-performance network servers and workstations. The Company provides customized memory solutions for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and compatible memory for leading brands including Dell, HP, IBM and Sun Microsystems as well as a line of memory products for Intel and AMD motherboard based servers. The Company has also developed memory for the consumer market which is sold as AMD branded memory and sold through online retailer. In addition the Company develops and markets proprietary software. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company’s memory products are sold worldwide to OEMs, distributors, value-added resellers and end-users. The Company has one leased manufacturing facility in the United States with sales offices in the United States and Europe. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company is an independent memory manufacturer specializing in high-capacity memory and competes with several other large independent memory manufacturers as well as the OEMs mentioned above. The primary raw material used in producing memory boards is dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips. The purchase cost of DRAMs is the largest single component of the total cost of a finished memory board. Consequently, average selling prices for computer memory boards are significantly dependent on the pricing and availability of DRAM chips. | |||||||||||||||||
Liquidity and Basis of Presentation | |||||||||||||||||
The information for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 is unaudited, but includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to state fairly the financial information set forth therein in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2013 included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The April 30, 2013 balance sheet has been derived from these statements. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the fiscal years ended April 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred losses in the amounts of approximately $4,625,000, $3,259,000 and $ 4,634,000, respectively. For the nine months ended January 31, 2014 the Company has incurred losses of approximately $2,067,000 and used approximately $586,000 cash from operations. | |||||||||||||||||
As discussed in Note 9, the Company entered into financing agreements to address short-term liquidity needs. Also, as discussed in Note 10, on May 11, 2011 and September 18, 2013, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with different investors. Management believes that the aggregate $3,500,000 available under its credit facility combined with current projected losses will not be sufficient to meet its current obligations and the Company will need to raise additional capital through borrowings or sales of equity securities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain borrowings or complete a sale of additional equity securities at terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. The Company is considering calling a Special Meeting of its shareholders to approve the sale of securities above the 20% NASDAQ limitation as well as approval to issue preferred stock. If the Company is able to get shareholder approval, the ability to sell additional common shares, issue preferred shares and obtain financing from convertible debt instruments will be less constrictive. In addition, the Company is considering lowering the exercise price of its outstanding warrants to encourage the exercise of those warrants. | |||||||||||||||||
Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the additional working capital necessary to sustain our operations. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing, raise additional capital through the sales of equity and or debt securities and upon future profitable operations. There is no assurance that our current operations will be profitable or we will raise sufficient funds to continue operating. | |||||||||||||||||
If current and projected revenue growth does not meet estimates, the Company may continue to choose to raise additional capital through debt and/or equity transactions, reduce certain overhead costs through the deferral of salaries and other means, and settle liabilities through negotiation. Currently, the Company does not have any commitments or assurances for additional capital, nor can the Company provide assurance that such financing will be available to it on favorable terms, or at all. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event we cannot continue in existence. Management projects the Company currently has sufficient cash and borrowing availability after considering proceeds received from the equity transaction described in Note 15 to last into the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2014. The Company intends to raise additional capital through bank financing and additional sales of equity and/or debt securities in the current fiscal year. Specifically, the Company intends to sell the remaining shares available under its S-3 registration statement, which expires April 10, 2014, and provide incentives to warrant holders to exercise their warrants. In addition, the Company intends to negotiate an inventory line of credit that will provide sufficient cash to satisfy its debt to the related party resulting in reduced interest cost and provide $400,000 of working capital each year for the next two years. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in closing these transactions or raise sufficient cash to meet its obligations through fiscal 2014. | |||||||||||||||||
Plan of Operation | |||||||||||||||||
The Company has been experiencing losses due to the decline and instability of DRAM prices and the historical investment in XcelaSAN. It is uncertain how long the current level of DRAM pricing will continue, or whether or when prices will rise in the near future. Until such time that the Company can raise prices, it will continue to seek alternative methods of generating profits and cash flow. For example, the Company continues to pursue product diversification, either by development or as a contract manufacturer. Additionally, the Company will continue to identify joint ventures, strategic partnerships and business combination opportunities. There can be no assurance that any of these initiatives will mature to profitability and positive cash flow, or even occur. During fiscal 2013, the Company signed three agreements with AMD for the sale of AMD branded products. The products fall into three categories; RAMDisk software; consumer memory for the gaming and entertainment industries; and server memory for AMD and other servers. The Company is working to expand sales of all three product offerings through expansion with current etailers and adding new etailers. Newegg was the first etailer and has been selling all three products online for months. Canada Computer is selling the consumer and RAMDisk product lines. Microcenter, Amazon NCIX, Memory Express and Tiger Direct all sell the consumer line of products. Discussions are progressing to add the server and RAMDisk product lines to all of their websites and with new etailers. The Company also is expanding its consumer memory outlets and the development of software to complement RAMDisk in other areas of caching. | |||||||||||||||||
Stock Split | |||||||||||||||||
On January 31, 2013, the Company filed a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of calling a special meeting of its stockholders. The Board of Directors asked the stockholders to approve the Board’s action in effecting a reverse split of its Common Stock at a ratio of no less than 1 for 3 and no greater than 1 for 6. The meeting was held at the Company’s offices on March 13, 2013. The stockholders approved the action and immediately following the meeting, the Board of Directors voted to affect a reverse split of its common stock at the ratio of 1 for 6. The split shares were effective with the opening of trading on March 15, 2013. Relevant financial data has been adjusted in this report to reflect the 1 for 6 reverse stock-split. | |||||||||||||||||
Principles of Consolidation | |||||||||||||||||
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. | |||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | |||||||||||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including deferred tax asset valuation allowances and certain other reserves and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Some of the more significant estimates made by management include the allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns, the collectability of note receivable, the deferred income tax asset valuation allowance and other operating allowances and accruals. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||||||||||||||||
Engineering and Research and Development | |||||||||||||||||
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, including Company-sponsored research and development and costs of patents and other intellectual property that have no alternative future use when acquired and in which we had an uncertainty in receiving future economic benefits. Development costs of a computer software product to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are subject to capitalization beginning when a product’s technological feasibility has been established and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. Technological feasibility of a computer software product is established when all planning, designing, coding and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its design specifications (including functions, features and technical performance requirements) are completed. | |||||||||||||||||
Advertising | |||||||||||||||||
Advertising is expensed as incurred and amounted to approximately $25,000 and $115,000 in the three and nine months periods ended January 31, 2014, respectively verses approximately $33,000 and $100,000 in the comparable prior year periods. | |||||||||||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||||||||||
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of the “Expenses – Income Taxes Topic” of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers certain tax planning strategies in its assessment as to the recoverability of its tax assets. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that the tax rate changes. The Company recognizes, in its consolidated financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on technical merits of the position. There are no material unrecognized tax positions in the financial statements. As of January 31, 2014, the Company had Federal and State net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forwards of approximately $23,500,000 and $21,800,000, respectively. These can be used to offset future taxable income and expire between 2023 and 2033 for Federal tax purposes and 2016 and 2033 for State tax purposes. The Company’s NOL carry-forwards are a component of its deferred income tax assets which are reported net of a full valuation allowance in the Company’s consolidated financial statements at January 31, 2014 and April 30, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||
Net Loss per Share | |||||||||||||||||
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 includes only the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The denominator excludes the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants outstanding as their effect would be anti-dilutive. The following presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2014 and 2013. The January 31, 2013 three and nine month amounts shown have been adjusted to reflect the reverse 1-for-6 stock split effective March 18, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||

As required by the “Compensation - Stock Compensation” Topic of the FASB, the accounting for transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments are accounted for using a fair value-based method with a recognition of an expense for compensation cost related to share-based payment arrangements, including stock options and employee stock purchase plans. | |||||||||||||||||
Our consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2014 include approximately $5,000 and $43,000 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively. Fiscal 2013’s three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2013 include approximately $26,000 and $205,000 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively. These stock option grants have been classified as equity instruments and, as such, a corresponding increase has been reflected in additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. | |||||||||||||||||

Approximately $416,000 and $74,000, respectively, of accounts payable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of January 31, 2014 and 2013 is payable to Sheerr Memory. Sheerr Memory offers the Company trade terms of net 30 days and all invoices are settled in the normal course of business. No interest is paid. The Company has made further purchases from Sheerr Memory subsequent to January 31, 2014 and management anticipates that the Company will continue to do so, although the Company has no obligation to do so. Management believes that transactions with Keystone Memory Group are at prices and terms that are better or equal to prices and terms that could be obtained from other suppliers. | |

On July 30, 2012, a Convertible Senior Promissory Note was executed by and between Shoreline Memory, Inc. (“Shoreline”) and the Company whereby the Company could lend up to $1,500,000 to Shoreline in exchange for interest payments at prime plus 3.0% and the right to convert the amount outstanding into Common Stock of Shoreline on or before its maturity date. Each time the Company advanced money under the note, the Company was granted 1% of the outstanding Common Stock of Shoreline for every $100,000 advanced up to a maximum of 15%. This was in addition to the 15% allowable under the conversion of the note and the warrant to acquire 30% of Shoreline Common Stock. The conversion is at the rate of 1% of the outstanding Common Stock for each $100,000 converted up to a maximum of 15%. This note had a maturity date of three years and at such time Shoreline would have had to repay the note or the Company would have had to convert the note into Common Stock. The note was secured by all the assets of Shoreline and Shoreline Capital Management Ltd. (“Shoreline Capital”) as guarantor. Also executed with the note was a warrant to purchase 30% of the outstanding Common Stock of Shoreline at the time of exercise and the warrant expires sixty days after the third anniversary of the closing of the transaction. The warrant prescribed a formula to determine the price per share at the time of exercise. If all the amounts under the note were advanced and converted and the full warrant was exercised, the Company would have owned 60% of the outstanding Common Stock of Shoreline. The note was executed simultaneously with a Master Services Agreement which details the parameters under which the Company and Shoreline would have fulfilled orders from Shoreline’s primary customer. On July 31, 2012, the Company advanced $375,000 under the note and an additional $375,000 on August 1, 2012. The purpose of the loan was to fund startup expenses and to prepay initial orders. On February 19, 2013, the Company received $50,000 from Shoreline and, on February 22, 2013, the Company received an additional $200,000 from Shoreline as a partial repayment of their loan. On March 27, 2013, the Company reached an agreement to terminate its relationship with Shoreline. At closing, the Company received an additional $225,000 as a partial repayment of the loan in connection with the termination of all agreements with Shoreline. The promissory note bears interest at the rate of 6% and is guaranteed by Shoreline Memory, Inc., Shoreline Capital Management Ltd and Trevor Folk. All agreements with Shoreline have been terminated with the exception of the amended and restated promissory note. The remaining $275,000 was scheduled to be repaid in accordance with the amended and restated promissory note on July 31, 2013. Shoreline Memory defaulted on the note. The Company fully reserved the $275,000 balance on the amended and restated promissory note at July 31, 2013. During the quarter ended October 31, 2013 the Company agreed to settle the amount due on the defaulted note for approximately $162,000. The funds were received in escrow on October 31, 2013 and forwarded to the Company on November 1, 2013. |

Goodwill: | |||||||||||||
On March 31, 2009, the Company acquired the assets of MMB for cash plus contingent consideration. The excess of consideration paid over the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. We were obligated under the Asset Purchase Agreement to make contingent payments based on the earnings of MMB through March 31, 2013.No impairments of goodwill have been identified during any of the periods presented. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. The date of our annual impairment test is approximately March 1. | |||||||||||||
Intangible Assets: | |||||||||||||
Intangible assets with determinable lives, other than customer relationships and research and development are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated period of benefit, ranging from four to five years. Research and development and customer relationships are amortized over a two-year period at a rate of 65% of the gross value acquired in the first year subsequent to their acquisition and 35% of the gross value acquired in the second year. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. All of our intangible assets with definitive lives are subject to amortization. No impairments of intangible assets with definitive lives have been identified during any of the periods presented. | |||||||||||||
The Company estimates that it has no significant residual value related to its intangible assets. Acquired intangibles generally are amortized on a straight-line basis over weighted average lives. Intangible assets amortization expense for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 totaled approximately $41,000 and $123,000 in each period, respectively.

The landlord for the property previously leased by the Company in Ivyland, Pennsylvania filed suit against the Company, which vacated the property at the expiration of its lease, for the Company’s alleged failure to restore the property to its original condition. The landlord is currently in possession of a security deposit in the amount of $52,000. The Ivyland litigation has entered the discovery stage. The Company denies its liability for the restoration of the property and believes that the outcome cannot be determined at this time. After consulting with legal counsel, management has recorded a $150,000 settlement provision in fiscal 2014’s third quarter ended January 31, 2014. |

On March 13, 2014, the Company entered into a Second Supplemental Agreement to Engagement Agreement (the “Second Supplemental Agreement”) with TriPoint Global Equities, LLC (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of up to 219,754 shares of the Company’s common stock in a registered direct public offering (the “Offering”). The Second Supplemental Agreement supplements that certain engagement letter and Supplemental Agreement to Engagement Agreement dated August 29, 2013 and September 18, 2013, respectively, by and between the Company and the Placement Agent as disclosed on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 19, 2013. | |||
On March 20, 2014, the Company and a certain investor entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) in connection with the Offering, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 219,750 shares of its common stock to such investor for aggregate gross proceeds, before deducting fees to the Placement Agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, of approximately $659,250. The purchase price was $3.00 per share. The Placement Agent was entitled to a cash fee of $46,148 which was equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds paid to the Company in the Offering. The Company also reimbursed the Placement Agent for legal and other expenses incurred by the Placement Agent in connection with the Offering in an amount of approximately $7,500. | |||
Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed with the purchaser that, subject to certain exceptions, it will not, within the 90 days following the closing of the Offering (which period may be extended in certain circumstances), enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any securities. | |||
The Company has also agreed with the purchaser that from the closing date of the Offering until three years thereafter, it will not effect or enter into an agreement to effect a “Variable Rate Transaction,” which means a transaction in which the Company: | |||
• | issues or sells any convertible securities either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Company’s common stock (but not including any routine anti-dilution protections in any warrant or convertible security); or | ||
• | enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may sell securities at a future determined price. | ||
The Company has also agreed that for a period of one year after the closing date of the Offering, the Company shall not initiate any “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. | |||
The Company has also agreed with the purchaser if the Company issues securities within the 12 months following the closing of the Offering, the purchaser shall have the right, on a pro-rata basis, to purchase an aggregate of 50% of all of the securities on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the proposed issuance of securities. | |||
The Company has also agreed to indemnify the purchaser against certain losses resulting from its breach of any of its representations, warranties, or covenants under agreements with the purchaser, as well as under certain other circumstances described in the Purchase Agreement. | |||
The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deducting placement agent fees and the estimated offering expenses borne by the Company, is approximately $583,000. After giving effect to the Offering, the Company has 2,324,416 shares of common stock outstanding. | |||
The shares were issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated March 20, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, as part of a shelf takedown from the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-173212), including a related prospectus, which was declared effective by the Commission on April 28, 2011. | |||
Also, on March 20, 2014, certain holders of warrants issued in connection with the sale of units on September 23, 2013, exercised 86,100 warrants at the exercise price of $3.50 per share resulting in net proceeds of approximately $301,350. The exercise of these warrants resulted in the issuance of 85,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. |

The information for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 is unaudited, but includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to state fairly the financial information set forth therein in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2013 included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The April 30, 2013 balance sheet has been derived from these statements. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the fiscal years ended April 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred losses in the amounts of approximately $4,625,000, $3,259,000 and $ 4,634,000, respectively. For the nine months ended January 31, 2014 the Company has incurred losses of approximately $2,067,000 and used approximately $586,000 cash from operations. | |||||||||||||||||
As discussed in Note 9, the Company entered into financing agreements to address short-term liquidity needs. Also, as discussed in Note 10, on May 11, 2011 and September 18, 2013, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with different investors. Management believes that the aggregate $3,500,000 available under its credit facility combined with current projected losses will not be sufficient to meet its current obligations and the Company will need to raise additional capital through borrowings or sales of equity securities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain borrowings or complete a sale of additional equity securities at terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. The Company is considering calling a Special Meeting of its shareholders to approve the sale of securities above the 20% NASDAQ limitation as well as approval to issue preferred stock. If the Company is able to get shareholder approval, the ability to sell additional common shares, issue preferred shares and obtain financing from convertible debt instruments will be less constrictive. In addition, the Company is considering lowering the exercise price of its outstanding warrants to encourage the exercise of those warrants. | |||||||||||||||||
Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the additional working capital necessary to sustain our operations. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing, raise additional capital through the sales of equity and or debt securities and upon future profitable operations. There is no assurance that our current operations will be profitable or we will raise sufficient funds to continue operating. | |||||||||||||||||
If current and projected revenue growth does not meet estimates, the Company may continue to choose to raise additional capital through debt and/or equity transactions, reduce certain overhead costs through the deferral of salaries and other means, and settle liabilities through negotiation. Currently, the Company does not have any commitments or assurances for additional capital, nor can the Company provide assurance that such financing will be available to it on favorable terms, or at all. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event we cannot continue in existence. Management projects the Company currently has sufficient cash and borrowing availability after considering proceeds received from the equity transaction described in Note 15 to last into the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2014. The Company intends to raise additional capital through bank financing and additional sales of equity and/or debt securities in the current fiscal year. Specifically, the Company intends to sell the remaining shares available under its S-3 registration statement, which expires April 10, 2014, and provide incentives to warrant holders to exercise their warrants. In addition, the Company intends to negotiate an inventory line of credit that will provide sufficient cash to satisfy its debt to the related party resulting in reduced interest cost and provide $400,000 of working capital each year for the next two years. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in closing these transactions or raise sufficient cash to meet its obligations through fiscal 2014. | |||||||||||||||||
Plan of Operation | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Plan of Operation | |||||||||||||||||
The Company has been experiencing losses due to the decline and instability of DRAM prices and the historical investment in XcelaSAN. It is uncertain how long the current level of DRAM pricing will continue, or whether or when prices will rise in the near future. Until such time that the Company can raise prices, it will continue to seek alternative methods of generating profits and cash flow. For example, the Company continues to pursue product diversification, either by development or as a contract manufacturer. Additionally, the Company will continue to identify joint ventures, strategic partnerships and business combination opportunities. There can be no assurance that any of these initiatives will mature to profitability and positive cash flow, or even occur. During fiscal 2013, the Company signed three agreements with AMD for the sale of AMD branded products. The products fall into three categories; RAMDisk software; consumer memory for the gaming and entertainment industries; and server memory for AMD and other servers. The Company is working to expand sales of all three product offerings through expansion with current etailers and adding new etailers. Newegg was the first etailer and has been selling all three products online for months. Canada Computer is selling the consumer and RAMDisk product lines. Microcenter, Amazon NCIX, Memory Express and Tiger Direct all sell the consumer line of products. Discussions are progressing to add the server and RAMDisk product lines to all of their websites and with new etailers. In addition, we have raised capital through the sale of 350,000 shares of common stock resulting in net proceeds of approximately $700,000, sale of assets resulting in net proceeds of $500,000 and refinanced our line of credit resulting in higher borrowing capacities. The Company also is expanding its consumer memory outlets and the development of software to complement RAMDisk in other areas of caching. | |||||||||||||||||

On January 31, 2013, the Company filed a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of calling a special meeting of its stockholders. The Board of Directors asked the stockholders to approve the Board’s action in effecting a reverse split of its Common Stock at a ratio of no less than 1 for 3 and no greater than 1 for 6. The meeting was held at the Company’s offices on March 13, 2013. The stockholders approved the action and immediately following the meeting, the Board of Directors voted to affect a reverse split of its common stock at the ratio of 1 for 6. The split shares were effective with the opening of trading on March 15, 2013. Relevant financial data has been adjusted in this report to reflect the 1 for 6 reverse stock-split. | |||||||||||||||||

Use of Estimates | |||||||||||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including deferred tax asset valuation allowances and certain other reserves and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Some of the more significant estimates made by management include the allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns, the collectability of note receivable, the deferred income tax asset valuation allowance and other operating allowances and accruals. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||||||||||||||||

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, including Company-sponsored research and development and costs of patents and other intellectual property that have no alternative future use when acquired and in which we had an uncertainty in receiving future economic benefits. Development costs of a computer software product to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are subject to capitalization beginning when a product’s technological feasibility has been established and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. Technological feasibility of a computer software product is established when all planning, designing, coding and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its design specifications (including functions, features and technical performance requirements) are completed. | |||||||||||||||||

Income taxes | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||||||||||
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of the “Expenses – Income Taxes Topic” of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers certain tax planning strategies in its assessment as to the recoverability of its tax assets. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that the tax rate changes. The Company recognizes, in its consolidated financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on technical merits of the position. There are no material unrecognized tax positions in the financial statements. As of January 31, 2014, the Company had Federal and State net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forwards of approximately $23,500,000 and $21,800,000, respectively. These can be used to offset future taxable income and expire between 2023 and 2033 for Federal tax purposes and 2016 and 2033 for State tax purposes. The Company’s NOL carry-forwards are a component of its deferred income tax assets which are reported net of a full valuation allowance in the Company’s consolidated financial statements at January 31, 2014 and April 30, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 includes only the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The denominator excludes the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants outstanding as their effect would be anti-dilutive. The following presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2014 and 2013. The January 31, 2013 three and nine month amounts shown have been adjusted to reflect the reverse 1-for-6 stock split effective March 18, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||
