The income derived from these investments has been essential to offset the research, operating and marketing expenses of developing the Blood Volume Analyzer. The Company has followed a conservative policy of assuring adequate liquidity so that it can expand its marketing and research development without the sudden necessity of raising additional capital. The securities in the Company’s portfolio are selected to provide stability of both income and capital. The Company has been able to achieve financial stability because of these returns, which covered a significant portion of the Company’s continuing losses from operations. The Company’s investment policy is reviewed at least once yearly by the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee. Individual investment decisions are made solely by Dr. Joseph Feldschuh, CEO, who devotes approximately 10 to 15% of his time 7 to 7.5 hours per week to this activity. He is assisted by a single half-time employee. No other member of the Company is involved in individual investment decisions.
Accounts receivable are reviewed by the Company at the end of each reporting period to determine the collectibility based upon the aging of the balances and the history of the customer. As of December 31, 2005, the Company determined that a reserve of $41,300 should be placed against the outstanding receivable balance of $178,892. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, there was no reserve against the outstanding receivable balance.
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO), and consists primarily of finished goods.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets generally consist of prepayments for future services and corporate capital base/personal holding taxes. Prepayments are expensed when the services are received or as the prepaid capital base/personal holding taxes are offset by the related tax liability. All prepaid expenses and taxes are expensed within one year of the Balance Sheet date and are thus classified as Current Assets.
Property and Equipment is stated at cost and consists of BVA equipment, laboratory and office equipment, furniture and fixtures, and
leasehold improvements. These assets are depreciated under the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives, which range from 5 to 39 years.
Amounts spent to repair or maintain these assets arising out of the normal course of business are expensed in the period incurred. The cost of betterments and additions are capitalized and depreciated over the life of the asset. The cost of assets disposed of or determined to be non-revenue producing, together with the related accumulated depreciation applicable thereto, are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Currently, there is no impairment of any long-lived assets.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes operational revenues from several sources. The first source is the outright sale of equipment, the Blood Volume Analyzer, to customers. The second source is the sale of single use tracer doses supplied as Volumex kits that are injected into the patient and measured by the Blood Volume Analyzer. The third source of revenue is service contracts on the Blood Volume Analyzer, after it has been sold to a customer. The fourth source of revenue is the storage fees associated with cryobanked blood and semen specimens, and associated laboratory tests.
The Company currently offers three different methods of purchasing the Blood Volume Analyzer equipment. A customer may purchase the equipment directly, lease the equipment, or rent the equipment on a month-to-month basis. The revenues generated by a direct sale or a monthly rental are recognized as revenue in the period in which the sale or rental occurred. If a customer is to select the “lease” option, the Company refers its customer to a third party finance company with which it has established a relationship, and if the lease is approved, the Company receives 100% of the sales proceeds from the finance company and recognizes 100% of the revenue. The finance company then deals directly with the customer with regard to lease payments and related collections.
The sales of the single-use radioisotope doses (Volumex) that are used in conjunction with the Blood Volume Analyzer are recognized as revenue in the period in which the sale occurred.
When Blood Volume Analyzer equipment has been sold to a customer, the Company offers a one year warranty on the product, which covers all mechanical failures. This one year warranty is effective on the date of sale of the equipment. After the one year period expires, customers may purchase a service contract through the Company, which is usually offered in one-year increments. These service contracts are recorded by the Company as deferred revenue and are amortized into income in the period in which they apply. As at December 31, 2005 and 2004, deferred revenue pertaining to these service contracts was $ 6,583 and $17,465, respectively.
The storage fees associated with the cryobanked blood and semen samples are recognized as income in the period for which the fee applies. Although the Company historically offered annual storage fee contracts, effective October 1, 2005, the Company only offers 3 month storage terms.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. This pronouncement requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences of events attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period in which the enactment rate changes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reduced through the establishment of a valuation allowance at such time as, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports components of comprehensive income under the requirements of SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. This statement establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and requires certain transactions to be presented as separate components of stockholders’ equity. The Company currently reports the unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, net of deferred taxes, as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Product Warranties and Related Liabilities
The Company offers a one year warranty on the Blood Volume Analyzer equipment. This warranty is effective on the date of sale and
38
covers all mechanical failures of the equipment. All major components of the equipment are purchased and warranteed by the original 3rd party manufacturers.
Once the initial one year warranty period has expired, customers may purchase annual service contracts for the equipment. These service contracts warranty the mechanical failures of the equipment that are not associated with normal wear-and-tear of the components.
To date, the Company has not experienced any major mechanical failures on any equipment sold. In addition, the majority of the potential liability would revert to the original manufacturer. Due to this history, a liability has not been recorded with respect to product / warranty liability.
Research and Development
Costs associated with the development of new products are charged to operations as incurred.
Advertising Costs
Advertising expenditures relating to the advertising and marketing of the Company’s products and services are expensed in the period incurred.
Earnings Per Share
The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is based on the average number of common shares outstanding during each period, adjusted for the effects of outstanding stock options.
In 2005, 2004, and 2003, stock options were not included in the computation of diluted loss per common share due to their anti-dilutive effect given the net loss for each of those years. The number of anti-dilutive stock options excluded from the computation of diluted loss per common share was 78,100, 87,500, and 62,800, respectively.
Leased Employees
The Company has entered into an agreement with ADP TotalSource, whereby the Company leases its employees from ADP. The agreement requires the Company to reimburse ADP for all employee wages, related taxes, employee benefit costs and human resource fees.
The Company records these payments using the same classifications for which the reimbursement is made. (i.e. Wage reimbursements are recorded as wage expense.)
Stock Options
The Company applies the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board, or APB, Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations including Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25, issued in March 2000, to account for its stock options. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded on the date of the grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As allowed by SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted only the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123. The following table illustrates the effect on the net loss if the fair-value-based method has been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period.

In 2005 and 2004 a total of 25,000 and 25,700, respectively, of stock options were issued to various employees under the 2004 Stock Option Plan. No stock options were granted to employees in 2003. The weighted-average fair value per stock option granted in 2005 and 2004 was $3.40 and $2.96, respectively. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 2005 and 2004: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 28.65% and 22.74%, respectively, risk-free interest rates of 3.32% and 1.91%, respectively and an expected life of 2 and 1/4 years for 2005 and 3 years for 2004.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB revised SFAS No. 123 (FAS 123R), Share-Based Payment, which requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of employee stock options and similar awards. The accounting provisions of FAS 123R will be effective for the third quarter of fiscal 2005.
The Company will adopt the provisions of FAS 123R using a modified prospective application. Under modified prospective application, FAS 123R, which provides certain changes to the method for valuing stock-based compensation among other changes, will apply to new awards and to awards that are outstanding on the effective date and are subsequently modified or cancelled. Further compensation expense for outstanding awards for which the requisite service had not been rendered as of the effective date will be recognized over the remaining service period using the compensation cost calculated for pro forma disclosure purposes under FAS 123. The Company is in the process of determining how the new method of valuing stock-based compensation as prescribed in FAS 123R will be applied to valuing stock-based awards granted after the effective date and the impact the recognition of compensation expense related to such awards will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications and Restatements
For purposes of financial statement presentation in this Form 10-K, the Company has retroactively corrected three reporting errors that were previously reported and has effected these corrections (restatements) as of January 1, 2003 through to present. These errors occurred as a result of misapplication of generally accepted accounting principles.
39
The first change in accounting principle is the appropriate valuation and classification of options and short sale activities. Per SFAS No. 133 –Accounting for Derivate Instruments and Hedging Activites, the cost of these transactions have been marked-to-market and the adjustment has been reflected in the Statement of Operations. Under previous reporting, these option and short sale positions were not marked up/down to the fair market value at the time of financial reporting, but rather were carried at cost until the positions were closed.
The second change in accounting principle is the appropriate capitalization and valuation of equipment that has been placed with customers as either a “loan” or “rental”. The Company has properly capitalized these equipment costs and correspondingly, depreciated them over the estimated useful life of the equipment. Under previous reporting, the Company expensed the cost of the equipment as the equipment was manufactured.
The third and final accounting principle change related to Revenue Recognition. Previously, the Company reported its cryobanking revenue under the cash method. As restated, these revenues are now appropriately reported under the accrual method, giving rise to a deferred income account, and proper matching of income and expense.
The net effect of these restatements to the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 are summarized as follows:

Upon adoption of SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, management has determined that the company’s portfolio is best characterized as “Available-For-Sale”. SFAS No. 115 requires these securities to be recorded at their fair market values, with the offsetting unrealized holding gains or losses being recorded as Comprehensive Income (Loss)in the Equity section of the Balance Sheet. The adoption of this pronouncement has resulted in an increase in the carrying value of the company’s available-for-sale securities, as at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, of approximately 123.19%and 139.25% %, respectively, over its historical cost.

The Board of Directors shall act as the Plan Administrator, and may issue these options at its discretion. The maximum number of shares that may be issued under this Plan are the greater of 200,000 or 5% of the Company’s outstanding shares.

(8) CURRENT INCOME TAXES
The following is a reconciliation of the federal statutory tax rate of 35% for 2005, 2004 and 2003, with the provision for income taxes:

The Company, due to current losses and loss carry forwards from previous years, has not accrued or paid taxes based on income. It
46
has, however, paid State and City taxes which were assessed on its Capital Base and/or personal holdings in that jurisdiction. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, these Capital Base assessments were not classified as income taxes.
(9) DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes result from differences in the recognition of gains and losses on marketable securities, as well as operating loss carry forwards, for tax and financial statement purposes. The deferred income tax results in a liability for the marketable securities, while the operating loss carry forwards result in a deferred tax asset.
A valuation allowance has been recorded for the entire deferred tax asset as a result of uncertainties regarding the realization of the asset balance due to the history of losses and the variability of operating results. These net operating losses and corresponding expiration dates are as follows:
| | | | | | |
Net Operating Loss | | | Expiration Date – December 31; | |
| | |
| |
$ | 235,136 | | | | 2015 | |
$ | 1,587,180 | | | | 2016 | |
$ | 1,640,538 | | | | 2017 | |
$ | 1,637,963 | | | | 2018 | |

$ | 2,384,043 | | | | 2023 | |
$ | 2,045,087 | | | | 2024 | |
$ | 2,000,000 | | | | 2025 | |
The deferred tax liability that results from the marketable securities does not flow through the Statement of Operations due to the classification of the marketable securities as available-for-sale. Instead, the deferred tax liability is recorded against the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, in the Stockholders’ Equity section of the Balance Sheet.
The deferred tax computations, computed at federal statutory rates of 35% in 2005 and 34% in 2004, are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | 2005 | | 2004 | |
| Deferred tax assets: | | | | | | | |
| Net operating loss carry forwards | | $ | 5,858,218 | | $ | 5,010,840 | |

(10) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of marketable securities. The Company maintains its investments in four difference brokerage accounts, all of which are insured by Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). The limits of this insurance are up to $100,000 for the total amount of cash on deposit with each Broker, and up to $500,000 for the total amount of securities held by each Broker. Each of these brokerage houses is well known in the industry and management does not believe that these securities bear any risk of loss over and above the basic risk that a security bears through the normal activity of the securities markets. However, as at December 31, 2005, the fair market value of securities in excess of the SIPC insured limit is $57,246,005, while there is no cash on deposit in excess of the insured limit.
(11) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company subleases a portion of its New York City office space to the President of the Company for 5 hours per week.

The research and development costs for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 are not currently available, as the Company is re-examining the methodology used in determining these figures. As previously reported, the figures for 2004 and 2003 were not derived from the criteria listed in SFAS No. 2 –Accounting for Research and Development Costs. The Company will release this information as soon as it is available.
(13) INTEREST EXPENSE AND INCOME

(14) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(A) Operating Leases
The Company leases office and laboratory space in both New York City and Tennessee. The lease agreement for the New York City facility is a non-cancelable lease, subject to annual increases based on the Consumer Price Index, and will expire on December 31, 2015. The Tennessee facility is currently leased on a month-to-month basis.
The Company subleases space in its New York facility to a related party and a third party. Both subtenants lease on a month to month basis with no formal agreement. The amount of rental income received for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $14,686, $15,245 and $15,571 and is classified as other income in the Statement of Operations.

(B) Contingent Liabilities
The Company has incurred several claims in the normal course of business. None of these claims had a material effect on the financial statements. At the present time there are no pending legal claims.
The Company was involved in a dispute with its landlord in New York City. This dispute arose out of a rental rate dispute. In February 2005, the dispute was settled and the Company voluntarily agreed to pay the landlord approximately $45,000 in additional rent. This $45,000 liability was accrued at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and recorded in Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities.
(15) SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None to report.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under the Securities and Exchange of 1934, as amended.
During the calendar year ended December 31, 2005, we had insufficient numbers of internal personnel possessing the appropriate knowledge, experience and training in applying US GAAP and in reporting financial information in accordance with the requirements of the Commission. Insufficient controls over dissemination of information regarding non-routine and complex transactions to our
49
accounting staff by our management, as well as incorrect treatment and lack of proper analysis of such transactions by our accounting staff resulted. This weakness resulted in material adjustments proposed by our independent registered accountants with respect to our financial statements for our calendar years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.
In late 2005, the Company hired a CPA to oversee the accounting department and coordinate the efforts of analysis and dissemination. It is management’s intention to address accounting issues on a timely basis, and prevent misstatement based on errors and/or lack of understanding.
Our management and our board of directors are fully committed to the review and evaluation of our procedures and policies designed to assure effective internal control over financial reporting. We feel that the additions to our accounting staff will improve the quality of future period financial reporting.
