NOTE
1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary
of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
follows:
General
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Advance
Nanotech, Inc and Subsidiaries, (the “Company”), have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.
In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The
results from operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 2009.
Basis and business
presentation
The
Company was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on
March 3, 1980 and is in the development stage, as defined by Accounting
Standards Codification subtopic 915-10, Development Stage Entities ("ASC
915-10") with its efforts principally devoted to commercializing novel chemical
sensor products based on our proprietary and innovative gas sensing
technology. To date, the Company, has generated minimum sales
revenues, has incurred expenses and has sustained
losses. Consequently, its operations are subject to all the risks
inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. For the
period from inception through September 30, 2009, the Company has accumulated
losses of $38,544,409 attributable to common stockholders.
The
consolidated financial statements of continuing operations include the accounts
of Advance Nanotech, Inc., Owlstone Nanotech, Inc., Owlstone Limited and Advance
Nanotech (Singapore) Pte Ltd. (the "Company"). The consolidated
financial statements of discontinued operations include Advance Nanotech Ltd,
Bio-Nano Sensium Limited, Advance Display Technologies plc, Nanofed Limited,
Cambridge Nanotechnology Limited, Nano Solutions Limited and Advance Homeland
Security plc (the “Discontinued Group”).
Minority
stockholders of Owlstone Nanotech, Inc. (15.97%), Advance Nanotech (Singapore)
Pte Ltd (10%), Bio-Nano Sensium Limited (45%), Nano Solutions Limited (25%) and
Advance Display Technologies plc (7.1%) are not required to fund losses;
accordingly no losses have been allocated to them. All inter-company
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and minority
interests were accounted for in the consolidated statements of operations and
the balance sheets.

Corporate
History
We were
originally formed as Colorado Gold & Silver, Inc., a Colorado corporation,
on March 3, 1980, and subsequently changed our name to Dynamic I-T, Inc. and
then in January 2004, changed our name to Artwork & Beyond, Inc., or
Artwork. On October 1, 2004, Artwork entered into a share exchange agreement to
acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Advance Nanotech
Holdings, Inc. pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the share
exchange agreement. The acquisition transaction closed simultaneously with the
execution of the share exchange agreement. Artwork and its affiliates were
unrelated to the stockholders of Advance Nanotech Holdings, Inc. prior to the
execution, delivery and performance of the share exchange agreement. As a result
of this transaction (and certain capital transactions, including a reverse
100-to-1 stock split on October 5, 2005), control of Artwork was changed, with
the former stockholders of Advance Nanotech Holdings, Inc. acquired
approximately 99% of Artwork’s outstanding common stock. In addition, all of the
officers and directors of Artwork prior to the transaction were replaced by
designees of the former shareholders of Advance Nanotech Holdings, Inc., and
Artwork’s corporate name was changed to “Advance Nanotech, Inc.” As a
consequence of the change in control of Artwork resulting from these
transactions, all prior business activities of Artwork were completely
terminated, and Artwork adopted the business plan developed by Advance Nanotech
Holdings, Inc. prior to the transaction. On October 5, 2004, the new Board of
Directors approved the change of the issuer’s name to “Advance Nanotech, Inc. (a
Colorado corporation),” or Advance Nanotech Colorado.
On
June 19, 2006, Advance Nanotech Colorado merged with and into its newly-formed,
wholly-owned subsidiary, Advance Nanotech, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or
Advance Nanotech Delaware, in order to reincorporate in the State of Delaware.
The reincorporation was approved by Advance Nanotech Colorado's shareholders on
May 11, 2006. As a result of the reincorporation, our legal domicile is now
Delaware. Each outstanding Advance Nanotech Colorado common share was
automatically converted into one Advance Nanotech Delaware common share. As a
result of the reincorporation, each outstanding option, right or warrant to
acquire shares of Advance Nanotech Colorado common stock converted into an
option, right or warrant to acquire an equal number of shares of Advance
Nanotech Delaware common stock, with no further action required by any party,
under the same terms and conditions as the original option, right or
warrant.
On
December 19, 2007, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (as amended,
the “Exchange Agreement”) with certain stockholders (the “Owlstone Founders”) of
its majority owned subsidiary Owlstone Nanotech, Inc. (“Owlstone”) to increase
the Company's ownership interest in Owlstone. Pursuant to the
Exchange Agreement, the Company on September 4, 2008 (i) issued 13,291,039
shares of its common stock to the Owlstone Founders in exchange for Owlstone
shares representing approximately 24% of Owlstone that we did not already own
and (ii) granted to the employees of Owlstone options to purchase in the
aggregate 11,000,000 shares of common stock for $0.25 per shares in exchange for
the cancellation of Owlstone options outstanding and the right to acquire
further Owlstone option grants. The Company is also obligated under
the Exchange Agreement (i) to issue in the aggregate 10,000,000 shares of
restricted stock with a vesting schedule still to be determined and (ii) to
offer to acquire the remaining shares of Owlstone common stock outstanding or
issuable upon conversion of Owlstone convertible notes (representing
approximately 26.21% of the remaining Owlstone shares) for in the aggregate up
to 16,511,760 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 9,448,881
additional shares of our common stock for $0.30 per share.
Estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification
subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four
basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling
price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.
Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments
regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and
the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to
customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided
for in the same period the related sales are recorded.
ASC
605-10 incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25,
Multiple-Element Arraignments (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting
for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple
products, services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing
605-25 on the Company's financial position and results of operations was not
significant.
Revenues
generated were from shipping Lonestar and Owlstone Vapor Generators (“OVG”)
products, along with instructional and engineering services provided to
customers as of September 30, 2009.
The
Company has obtained other purchase orders for its products and contracted
services. Revenues include both product sales and service revenue from
industrial partners. Service revenue includes contracted research and
development or engineering work for specific customers.
Customers
consist primarily of governmental agencies and large manufacturers and
wholesalers who sell directly into retail channels. Provisions for sales
discounts and estimates for damaged product returns and exchanges will be
established as a reduction of product sales revenues at the time revenues are
recognized.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
For
purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less
to be cash equivalents.
Fair
Values
In the
first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company adopted Accounting Standards
Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC
820-10”). ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value, and enhances fair value measurement disclosure. ASC 820-10
delays, until the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the effective date for ASC
820-10 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those
that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a
recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of ASC 820-10 did not have a
material impact on the Company’s financial position or operations. Refer to
Footnote 11 for further discussion regarding fair valuation.
Property and
Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the
related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the
respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from
disposition, is reflected in earnings. For financial statement purposes,
property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 5
years.

Long-Lived
Assets
The
Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property,
Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets
and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to
recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business
conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even
operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the
recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash
flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible
assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows
resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also
requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying
amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Income
Taxes
The
Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income
Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities
and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred
tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between
financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to
reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for
financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are
insignificant.
At
September 30, 2009, the significant components of the deferred tax assets
(liabilities) are summarized below:

Net Loss per
Share
The
Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings
Per Share (“ASC 260-10”) which specifies the computation, presentation and
disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic earnings per
share have been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Stock options and warrants have been excluded as common
stock equivalents in the diluted losses per share because they are either
anti-dilutive, or their effect is not material.
For the
three months ended September 30, 2009 the calculation of fully diluted earnings
per share results would result in a loss for the period after reducing the
earnings for the "gain on change in derivative and warrant liabilities," thus
having the effect on common stock equivalents as being
anti-dilutive.

Stock based
compensation
Effective
for the year beginning January 1, 2006, the Company has adopted Accounting
Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which
requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee
stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair
values. Pro-forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. This
statement does not change the accounting guidance for share based payment
transactions with parties other than employees provided in ASC
718-10. The Company implemented AC 718-10 on January 1, 2006
using the modified prospective method.
As more
fully described in Note 11 below, the Company granted stock options over the
years to employees of the Company under its 2008 Equity Incentive
Plan. The Company granted non-qualified stock options to purchase 0
and 376,923 shares of common stock during the nine month period ended September
30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, to employees and directors of the Company under
the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan.
As of
September 30, 2009, there were outstanding employee stock options to purchase
11,621,330 shares of common stock, all shares of which were vested.
Concentrations of Credit
Risk
Financial
instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and
trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments
with high credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may
be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
Research and
Development
The
Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development
(“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be
charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development
costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development
costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone
results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs
related to both present and future products are expensed in the period
incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of
$553,081 and $1,446,763 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2009; $500,629 and $1,709,462 for the three and nine month period ended
September 30, 2008 and $9,960,424 from August 17, 2004 (date of
inception) through September 30, 2009, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
Accounting
Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”)
requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The
carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and short-term
borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because
of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Comprehensive Income
(Loss)
The
Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 220-10, Comprehensive
Income (“ASC 220-10”) which establishes standards for the reporting and
displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is
defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions
and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. It includes all
changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by
owners and distributions to owners. ASC 220-10 requires other comprehensive
income (loss) to include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized
gains and losses on available for sale securities.

Foreign Currency
Translation
The
Company translates the foreign currency financial statements into US Dollars
using the year or reporting period end or average exchange rates in accordance
with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 830-10,
Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC 830-10”). Assets and liabilities of
these subsidiaries were translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet
date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates in effect for the
periods presented. The cumulative translation adjustment is included in the
accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) within shareholders’ equity
(deficit). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses arising from exchange
rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the
functional currency are included in the consolidated results of
operations.
Liquidity
As shown
in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the
Company incurred loss from operations of $38,544,409 from its inception on
August 17, 2004 through September 30, 2009.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
With the
exception of those stated below, there have been no recent accounting
pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the nine months
ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the recent accounting
pronouncements described in the Annual Report that are of material significance,
or have potential material significance, to the Company.
In May
2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 165,
“Subsequent Events”, which is included in ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events. ASC
Topic 855 established principles and requirements for evaluating and reporting
subsequent events and distinguishes which subsequent events should be recognized
in the financial statements versus which subsequent events should be disclosed
in the financial statements. ASC Topic 855 also required disclosure of the date
through which subsequent events are evaluated by management. ASC
Topic 855 was effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 and
applies prospectively. Because ASC Topic 855 impacted the disclosure
requirements, and not the accounting treatment for subsequent events, the
adoption of ASC Topic 855 did not impact our results of operations or financial
condition. See Note 16 for disclosures regarding our subsequent
events.
Effective
July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles – Overall (“ASC 105-10”). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative
accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental
entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal
securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants.
All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority.
The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting
standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not
included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will not issue new
standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues
Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates
(“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right.
ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information
about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the
Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have
been updated for the Codification.

In
August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair
Value, which provides additional guidance on how companies should measure
liabilities at fair value under ASC 820. The ASU clarifies that the quoted price
for an identical liability should be used. However, if such information is not
available, an entity may use, the quoted price of an identical liability when
traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities
traded as assets, or another valuation technique (such as the market or income
approach). The ASU also indicates that the fair value of a liability is not
adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its
transfer and indicates circumstances in which quoted prices for an identical
liability or quoted price for an identical liability traded as an asset may be
considered level 1 fair value measurements. This ASU is effective
October 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this
standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In
September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-12, Investments in Certain Entities That
Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent), that amends ASC
820 to provide guidance on measuring the fair value of certain alternative
investments such as hedge funds, private equity funds and venture capital funds.
The ASU indicates that, under certain circumstance, the fair value of such
investments may be determined using net asset value (NAV) as a practical
expedient, unless it is probable the investment will be sold at something other
than NAV. In those situations, the practical expedient cannot be used and
disclosure of the remaining actions necessary to complete the sale is required.
The ASU also requires additional disclosures of the attributes of all
investments within the scope of the new guidance, regardless of whether an
entity used the practical expedient to measure the fair value of any of its
investments. This ASU is effective October 1, 2009. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to
have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or
financial condition.
In
October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue
Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, that
provides amendments to the criteria for separating consideration in
multiple-deliverable arrangements. As a result of these amendments,
multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements will be separated in more
circumstances than under existing U.S. GAAP. The ASU does this by establishing a
selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The
selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific
objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific
objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither
vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence is available. A
vendor will be required to determine its best estimate of selling price in a
manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the
deliverable on a standalone basis. This ASU also eliminates the residual method
of allocation and will require that arrangement consideration be allocated at
the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling
price method, which allocates any discount in the overall arrangement
proportionally to each deliverable based on its relative selling price. Expanded
disclosures of qualitative and quantitative information regarding application of
the multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement guidance are also required under
the ASU. The ASU does not apply to arrangements for which industry specific
allocation and measurement guidance exists, such as long-term construction
contracts and software transactions. ASU No. 2009-13 is effective beginning
January 1, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this
standard on its consolidated results of operations and financial
condition.

In
October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements That
Include Software Elements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task
Force, that reduces the types of transactions that fall within the
current scope of software revenue recognition guidance. Existing software
revenue recognition guidance requires that its provisions be applied to an
entire arrangement when the sale of any products or services containing or
utilizing software when the software is considered more than incidental to the
product or service. As a result of the amendments included in ASU
No. 2009-14, many tangible products and services that rely on software will
be accounted for under the multiple-element arrangements revenue recognition
guidance rather than under the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the
ASU, the following components would be excluded from the scope of software
revenue recognition guidance: the tangible element of the product,
software products bundled with tangible products where the software components
and non-software components function together to deliver the product’s essential
functionality, and undelivered components that relate to software that is
essential to the tangible product’s functionality. The ASU also provides
guidance on how to allocate transaction consideration when an arrangement
contains both deliverables within the scope of software revenue guidance
(software deliverables) and deliverables not within the scope of that guidance
(non-software deliverables). ASU No. 2009-14 is effective beginning
January 1, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this
standard on its consolidated results of operations and financial
condition.
NOTE
2 – GOING CONCERN MATTERS
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets
and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown
in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements during
nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company incurred net losses
attributable to common shareholders of $3,662,926, incurred net losses
attributable to common shareholders of $38,544,409 from its inception on August
17, 2004 through September 30, 2009 and used $36,673,611 in cash for
operating activities from its inception through September 30, 2009. These
factors among others may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as
a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
The
Company's existence is dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable
operations. Management is devoting substantially all of its efforts to
developing its products and services and there can be no assurance that the
Company's efforts will be successful. However, the planned principal operations
have not commenced and no assurance can be given that management's actions will
result in profitable operations or the resolution of its liquidity problems. The
accompanying statements do not include any adjustments that might result should
the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE
3- INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The
Company capitalizes internally developed assets related to certain costs
associated with patents. These costs include legal and registration fees needed
to apply for and secure patents. As of September 30, 2009 and December
31, 2008, the Company had capitalized internally developed patents of
$646,501 and $569,835, respectively with respective accumulated amortization of
$8,068 and $2,141 relating to issued patents. For the nine months
ending September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had amortization expense of
$5,087 and $2,033, respectively. The historical costs of Owlstone
Ltd’s internally developed patents are 186,679 in Great Britain Pounds
Sterling. Intangible assets are amortized in accordance
with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 350-10 “Intangibles,
Goodwill and Other ,” ("ASC 350-10") using the straight-line method over
the shorter of their estimated useful lives or remaining legal life. The Company
expenses any administrative costs related to the legal work on these patents.
Intangible assets acquired from other enterprises or individuals in an “arms
length” transaction are recorded at cost.

6 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
On
December 19 and 21, 2007, we entered into subscription agreements with selected
institutional and accredited investors regarding the private placement of up to
a maximum of $8,800,000 principal amount of 8% senior secured convertible notes.
Each investor who subscribed to the notes received 50% warrant coverage at $0.30
per share as common stock warrants. The notes mature on the date that is three
years from the date of issuance and are convertible into shares of our common
stock at a price of $0.25 per share. The notes constitute our senior indebtedness
and provide that we can not incur other indebtedness (excluding an additional
$3,000,000 in debt, certain credit facility lines and trade payables incurred in
the ordinary course of business) without the consent of the note holders. The
notes are secured by all of our intellectual property, books and records and
proceeds of the sale of our intellectual property, as well as all of the equity
interests in our subsidiaries. The warrants are exercisable into shares of our
common stock for a period of five years from the date they are issued at a price
of $0.30 per share.
In
connection with the private placement, we received gross proceeds of an
aggregate of $6,700,000. However, because we did not have a sufficient number of
authorized shares of our common stock to allow for conversion of the notes and
exercise of the warrants, representing the total amount of proceeds received, we
issued notes and warrants in December 2007 for only that portion of the total
proceeds that was allowed given our current capital structure. As a result, we
issued notes with a principal face amount of $3,953,000 and warrants convertible
into 7,906,000 shares of our common stock. The remainder of the proceeds
received during the private placement was held in escrow as of December 31, 2007
pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement, pending amendment of our
certificate of incorporation to increase the number of our authorized shares of
common stock from 75,000,000 to 200,000,000. This charter amendment was approved
by our stockholders in February 2008. Upon obtaining approval of the charter
amendment by the stockholders on February 15, 2008, the Company issued notes
with a principal face amount of $2,747,000 and warrants convertible into
5,494,000 shares of common stock.
Pursuant
to the terms of the registration rights agreement entered into in connection
with the December 2007 8% Convertible Note offering, the Company was required to
pay a penalty if it failed to file with the SEC a registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the common stock underlying the
notes purchased and the common stock underlying the issued warrants. The fair
value of the 7,906,000 warrants issued in connection with the December 2007
offering was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following assumptions: no dividend yield, risk-free interest rate of 4.46%, the
contractual life of 5 years and volatility of 138%. In accordance with
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and
Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40), in the amount of
$2,184,266, was recorded as a liability, with an offsetting charge to additional
paid-in capital.
The fair
value of the 5,494,000 warrants issued upon obtaining approval of the charter
amendment in connection with the December 2007 offering was also estimated using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: no
dividend yield, risk-free interest rate of 4.31%, the contractual life of 5
years and volatility of 138%. In accordance with ASC 815-40, the estimated fair
value of the 5,494,000 investor warrants, in the amount of $849,708, was
recorded as a liability, with an offsetting charge to additional paid-in
capital.
As
of September 30, 2008, the fair value of the warrant liability was re-valued
according to Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and
Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”) as of the end of the
current period. The Company recorded a gain for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2008 of $400,343 which was recorded as non-operating income in the
Company's consolidated statement of operations.
On July
24, 2008, the Company was notified by the Securities Exchange Commission that
the Form S-1 Registration (No. 333-148780) statement, filed on January 22, 2008,
was declared effective. As of September 30, 2008, in
accordance with the registration rights agreement for the shares registered
in the Form S-1 registration, the Company issued late registration costs in the

increasing the total amount of notes issued to $7,846,000. Each investor who
subscribed to the notes received 50% warrant coverage at $0.30 per share as
common stock warrants. The Company issued investor warrants of 2,292,000 in
relation to this issuance of notes. The private placement was made
pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933 because the transaction complied with the requirements of
Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. Axiom
Capital Management Inc. ("Axiom") acted as placement agent in connection with
the private placement.
The notes
mature in September 2011 and are convertible into shares of the Company's common

notes constitute senior indebtedness of the Company and provide that no other
indebtedness of the Company (excluding an additional $3,000,000 in debt, certain
credit facility lines and trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of
business) shall be incurred without the consent of the note holders. The
warrants are exercisable into shares of common stock until September 2013 at a

provisions that provide for conversion or exercise price adjustments under
certain circumstances.
The
obligations outstanding under the notes are secured by all of the Company's
intellectual property, books and records and proceeds of the sale of its
intellectual property owned directly by the Company, as well as all of its
equity interests in its subsidiaries pursuant to that certain Security
Agreement, dated December 19, 2007, between the Company and Axiom and the

and each of the investors named therein.
As of
September 30, 2008, in connection with the closings of the sale of convertible
notes totaling $7,846,000, the Company paid cash fees to certain placement
agents in the aggregate of approximately $600,000, and the Company issued
placement agents warrants to purchase, in aggregate, 2,342,000 shares of common
stock at $0.30 per share. The warrants are exercisable into shares of

As of
December 31, 2008, the fair value warrant liability for the investor warrants
and the placement agent warrants issued in connection with the sale of the total
$7,846,000 convertible note offering was revalued using the Black-Scholes option

NOTE
8 – WARRANT LIABILITY
As
described in Note 6, the Company issued warrants in conjunction with the sale of
convertible notes. These warrants contain certain reset provisions.
Therefore, in accordance with ASC 815-40, the Company reclassified
the fair value of the warrant from equity to a liability as of January 1,
2009. Subsequent to the reclassification, the Company is required to
adjust to fair value the warrant as an adjustment to current period
operations.
The
Company estimated the fair value at January 1, 2009 of the warrants issued in
connection with the convertible notes to be $1,150,224 using the Black-Scholes
formula assuming no dividends, a risk-free interest rate of 2.69%, expected
volatility of 196%, and expected warrant remaining life of between 4.25 to 5
years. Since the warrants have reset provisions, pursuant to ASC 815-40, the
Company has recorded the fair value of the warrants as a derivative
liability. Until conversion and expiration of the reset provisions of the
warrants, changes in fair value were recorded as non-operating, non-cash income
or expense at each reporting date.
The fair
values of the warrants of $1,455,545 at September 30, 2009 were determined using
the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: no
dividends, a risk-free interest rate of 2.32%, expected volatility of 236%, and
expected warrant remaining life of between 3.2 to 4 years.
As of the
date of the financial statements, the Company believes an event under the
contract that would create an obligation to settle in cash or other current
assets is remote and has classified the obligation as a long term
liability.
NOTE
9 – DERIVATIVE LIABLITIY
As
described in Note 6, the Company issued convertible notes that contain certain
reset provisions. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 815-40, the Company
determined the fair value of the reset provision of $1,552,413 on January 1,
2009 (the effectiveness of certain provisions of ASC 815-40) using the
Black-Scholes formula assuming no dividends, a risk-free interest rate of 0.88%,
expected volatility of 196%, and expected life of 1.97 to 2.67 years. Since the
convertible notes contain reset provisions, pursuant to ASC 815-40, the Company
has recorded the fair value of the reset provision as a derivative
liability. Until expiration of the reset provisions of the convertible
notes, changes in fair value were recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or
expense at each reporting date.
The fair
value of the reset provision of $1,773,604 at September 30, 2009 was determined
using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following
assumptions:
Dividend
yield:
|
-0-%

For the
nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the Company adjusted the recorded
fair values of the warrants and derivative liability to market resulting in non
cash, non operating loss of $221,191.

Preferred Stock
On June
19, 2006, the Company created a class of "blank check" preferred stock, par
value $0.001 per share, consisting of 25,000,000 shares. The term "blank check"
preferred stock refers to stock for which the designations, preferences,
conversion rights, and cumulative, relative, participating, optional or other
rights, including voting rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions
thereof, are determined by the Board of Directors (“Board”). As such, the Board
will be entitled to authorize the creation and issuance of 25,000,000 shares of
preferred stock in one or more series with such limitations and restrictions as
may be determined in the sole discretion of the Board, with no further
authorization by stockholders required for the creation and issuance of the
preferred stock. Any preferred stock issued would have priority over the common
stock upon liquidation and might have priority rights as to dividends, voting
and other features. Accordingly, the issuance of preferred stock could decrease
the amount of earnings and assets allocable to or available for distribution to
holders of common stock and adversely affect the rights and powers, including
voting rights, of the common stock. As of September 30, 2009, there were no
shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Restricted
stock, stock options and warrants issued to non-employees are recorded at their

11- STOCK OPTION PLANS AND STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
On August
28, 2008, the Board of Directors of Advance Nanotech, Inc. adopted the Advance
Nanotech, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2008 Plan"). The aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan is
40,462,293, and such shares are hereby reserved for issuance out of the
authorized but previously unissued Shares. Employees, service providers and
non-employee directors of the Company and its affiliates are eligible to receive
stock options, restricted stock, performance awards and other stock- or
performance-based awards. Incentive stock options may be granted only to
employees. The 2008 Plan will continue until the earlier of the termination of
the 2008 Plan by the board of directors or ten years after the effective
date.
The 2008
Plan is currently being administered by the Company's compensation committee
which is comprised of three non-executive directors. The compensation committee
may determine the specific terms and conditions of all Awards (as defined in the
2008 Plan) granted under the 2008 Plan, including, without limitation, the
number of shares subject to each Award, the price to be paid for the shares and
the vesting criteria, if any. The compensation committee has discretion to make
all determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2008
Plan.
Shares
Granted to Employees
As of
September 30, 2009, there were 26,449,904 shares that had not been issued under
the 2008 Plan.
The
Company accounts for employee stock option grants in accordance with ASC 718-10
which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an
entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. ASC 718-10
requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in
exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value
of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an
employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award - the
requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is
recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the
requisite service.

NOTE
12- FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING
ASC
825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value
measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at
fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in
which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would
use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer
restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value
hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and
minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10
establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair
value:
Level
1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level
2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume
or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in
which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from
or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the
assets or liabilities.
Level
3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the
measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
To the
extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or
unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more
judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into
different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure
purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value
measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement.
Items
recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying

740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”). ASC 740-10 requires the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the future tax
consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or
tax returns. Measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted
tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between
financial reporting bases and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities
result in a deferred tax assets, ASC 740-10 requires an evaluation of the
probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such
assets. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is
recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire
deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The
Company is subject to the income tax laws in the United States of America and
the United Kingdom. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had net
operating loss carry forwards for income tax reporting purposes of approximately
$29,200,000 that may be offset against future taxable income through
2028. Current tax laws such as IRC §382 limit the amount of loss
available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change
in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future
taxable income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported in
the consolidated financial statements because the Company believes there is no
assurance the carry forwards will be used. Potential tax benefits of
the loss carry forwards are offset by valuation allowance of the same
amount.
On
November 14, 2008, the Company ceased operations of its U.K. subsidiaries as
follows: Advance Display Technologies plc, Advance Nanotech Limited,
Nano Solutions Limited, Nanofed Limited, Bio Nano Sensium Limited, Cambridge
Nanotechnology Limited and Advance Homeland Security plc (“the Discontinued
Group”). Accordingly, the results of operations of these entities are
reported as loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of
income.
The
Company does not expect to derive any revenues from the Discontinued Group in
the future and does not expect to incur any significant ongoing operating
expenses.
Results
for discontinued operations
were as follows:

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Unless
otherwise noted, the terms "Advance Nanotech", the "Company", "we", "us", and
"our" refer to the ongoing business operations of Advance Nanotech, Inc. and its
subsidiaries, whether conducted through Advance Nanotech or a subsidiary of the
company.
Overview
and Plan of Operations
Our
efforts are principally focused on the development of chemical sensing products
using our Owlstone technology. Owlstone has developed a chemical detector that
has been incorporated into its lead product named Lonestar, which is currently
being sold and used in the marketplace. This product was launched in July 2007
and has a growing customer base. Our plan of operations includes a strategic
mixture of selling completely integrated products and supplying component parts
to original equipment manufacturers, as is the case with our Lonestar
product. We intend to partner with market leaders to integrate our technologies
into existing commercial applications, partner with contract manufacturers to
bring our products directly to market and to partner with others whose placement
in a territory or market offers advantages, particularly if the territory is one
on which we would not otherwise concentrate our own efforts. We
believe that this strategy positions us to best achieve the potential for our
technologies in the most effective and time-sensitive manner.
On
April 21, 2009, the Company announced that its majority owned subsidiary,
Owlstone Nanotech, Inc., had received a development contract from Crowcon
Detection Instruments Ltd, based in the United Kingdom, which specializes in
developing, manufacturing and marketing innovative, reliable and cost-effective
flammable and toxic gas detection equipment. Crowcon, founded in 1970, is a
leader in the fields of safety and environmental monitoring. Pursuant to
the contract, Owlstone's Lonestar detection platform will
be integrated into Crowcon's PGSi Programmable Sampling System, a highly
versatile system that can monitor up to 32 sample lines sequentially. The PGSi
is used in applications for which a wide-area detection is required, such as
building protection and brewery monitoring. The integration of Lonestar adds a
broad band detection capability that will allow the combined unit to be sold
into a wider range of industrial applications.
On April
8, 2009, the Company announced that the Company's majority owned subsidiary,
Owlstone Nanotech, Inc., had received a follow-on order from SELEX Galileo
totaling $272,000. SELEX Galileo, a Finmeccanica company and one of Europe's
foremost Aerospace and Defense organizations, is a leader in surveillance,
protection, tracking, targeting, navigation & control and imaging systems.
This contract is the third contract from SELEX Galileo and follows the contract
announced in June 2008 that was completed in December. Owlstone completed
delivery under this contract in 2009. The order from SELEX
Galileo requires Owlstone to build specific chemical detection end
instruments that meet the specifications set forth by the U.S. Department of
Defense. The work involved is primary product development and engineering work
on the surrounding components for a specific application using the NEXSENSE C
platform that was initiated with SELEX Galileo in 2007.
On April
7, 2009, the Company announced that its Owlstone Nanotech, Inc. subsidiary had
been granted two additional patents by the United States Patent office. This
issuance brings the total issued patent portfolio to four. Additionally, the
Company has ten patent applications submitted and awaiting response and four
patent applications pending submittal under PCT protection with the United
States Patent and Trademark Office. The recently issued patents cover
technology developed by Owlstone used in both its core sensor system and
surrounding components. The patents describe several methods and embodiments of
a microchip spectrometer and a highly integrated means of sample ionization that
fits within the confines of a microchip. In addition to utility within
Owlstone's products, the patented ionization technology could be of benefit to
other ion based analytical technologies.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Cash
Flows
Our operations have not historically generated positive cash
flow. The Company has been in the development stage since its
inception (August 17, 2004), has sustained losses and has used capital raised
from the issuance of stock and convertible debt to fund its operations.
Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon establishing
and achieving profitable operations. The Company expects to continue to incur
losses until it can generate sufficient revenue from existing and new business
and achieve and maintain positive margins. Until then, the Company’s operations
will require additional funds. (See Note A Going Concern
section)
At
September 30, 2009, the Company had $134,819 in cash or cash equivalents, and
the Company had $265,304 in accounts receivable from customers. As of September
30, 2009, the Company also issued and sold notes totaling $1,300,000 which are
due December 31, 2009. The transaction is further described under
Debt Obligations below. In addition, the Company has $2,305,423 of
convertible notes that are due within 12 months. Based upon the
Company’s forecast of future revenues from its products, services and grants, in
conjunction with the cash and cash equivalents on hand, the Company’s continued
ability to operate is dependent upon obtaining additional funds.
The
Company is presently pursuing various options to generate additional funds,
including, among others, strategic partnering arrangements and raising
additional capital through the sale of debt and/or equity securities. In
addition, plans to generate additional revenue from operations could include
co-development and co-funding of our products, licensing products for upfront
and milestone payments, and applying for more government grants. We have
initiated cost reduction programs and intend
to continue controling and reducing expenses until funds from
operations can support the growth of the business. Although the Company is
exploring all opportunities to improve its financial condition within the next
several months, there is no assurance that these programs will be
successful.
If the
Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow through sales or partnering
arrangements or obtain additional financing through other means to
support its operations and meet its obligations, the Company will be forced to
consider the further restructuring of its operations, disposition of various
assets, seeking protection from its creditors, or cessation of operations and
liquidation.
Debt
Obligations
The
Company, under the authorization of its existing agreements to offer up to
$3,000,000 of Senior Secured Notes, commenced an offering of up to $800,000 of

the remaining Notes providing for (i) the extension of the maturity of the
Notes to August 31, 2009, (ii) an increase in the aggregate amount of the Notes
the Company is authorized to issue to $3,000,000, (iii) the right of the Company

August 10, 2012 to purchase in the aggregate 333,334 shares of the Company’s
common stock, par value $.001 per share, for $.30 per share. The
August Notes are secured, along with similar Notes issued in April and June,
2009, by a first security interest in substantially all of the Company’s
assets. The purchaser of the August Notes was an
“accredited investor” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and the transaction was exempt
from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation
D.
On
September 18, 2009, the Company sold $300,000 units consisting of (i) $300,000
in principal amount of its Senior Secured Notes due October 15, 2009 (the “New
Notes”), which bear interest at a rate of 3% per month and (ii) common stock
purchase warrants exercisable at any time until October 15, 2012 to purchase in
the aggregate 500,001 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per
share (the “Common Stock”), for $.30 per share (the “Warrants”). The
Company has the option to convert the New Notes into shares of Common Stock, at
a per share conversion price of $.05, upon (a) the Company obtaining waivers
from all the holders of all outstanding Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued
by Company during the calendar years 2007 and 2008 (the “Prior Notes”) to (i)
give up all rights with respect to the price protection anti-dilution provisions
in the Prior Notes and the warrants issued with the Prior Notes and (ii) modify
the mandatory conversion provision of the Prior Notes to provide for mandatory
conversion thereof upon the conversion of the Senior Secured Note; and (b) new
funds in the amount of $5,000,000 having been raised by the Company through
either the issuance of New Notes, equity, or direct investment into the Company;
or (c) a supermajority of the holders of all outstanding
notes agreeing that the Company has reached a level of sustainable
profitability, as defined by positive cash flow for at least two
quarters.
The New
Notes are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of
the Company’s assets pursuant to a Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of
April 9, 2009, between the Company and Axiom. Axiom was appointed as collateral
agent pursuant to that certain Collateral Agent Agreement, dated as of April 9,
2009, between Axiom and the holders of New Notes (the “Existing Collateral Agent
Agreement”). In addition, the New Notes are secured by a first
priority security interest in all of the intellectual property of Owlstone
Nanotech, Inc., the Company’s majority owned subsidiary (“Owlstone”), pursuant
to a Security Agreement, dated as of September 18, 2009, between Owlstone and
Ingalls & Snyder LLC, as collateral agent (the “Owlstone Security
Agreement”). Ingalls & Snyder was appointed as collateral agent
pursuant to that certain Collateral Agent Agreement, dated as of September 18,
2009, between Ingalls & Snyder and the Bridge Lenders (the “Owlstone
Collateral Agent Agreement”). The purchasers of the securities (the
holders of the New Notes) were “accredited investors” within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and
the transaction was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof
and Rule 506 of Regulation D.
The
Company issued warrants to the Bridge Lenders to acquire 1,300,000 shares of
Owlstone’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Penalty Shares”) in
consideration for a waiver by the Bridge Lenders, without which the Company
would have been in payment default on the $1,000,000 of promissory notes
previously issued to the Bridge Lenders (the “Existing Notes”). On September 18,
2009, the Bridge Lenders, then holding an aggregate principal amount of
$1,300,000 of notes, and the Company agreed, pursuant to a Third Amendment to
Senior Secured Notes and Subscription Agreement, to make the terms and
conditions of the Existing Notes the same as the New Notes, thereby
extending the maturity date to October 15, 2009, making all of the
notes subject to the Owlstone Security Agreement and providing for the mandatory
conversion right described above (“Amendment Number Three”); provided, however,
that if, prior to October 15, 2009, (A) the holders of all outstanding Senior
Secured Convertible Notes issued by Company during the calendar years 2007 and
2008 shall have executed and delivered to Company a waiver to (i) give up all
rights with respect to the price protection anti-dilution provisions in the
Prior Notes and the warrants issued with the Prior Notes and (ii) modify the
mandatory conversion provision of the Prior Notes to provide for mandatory
conversion thereof upon the conversion of the Senior Secured Note, or (B) the
Company closes on a capital investment of at least $1,000,000, then such
maturity date shall be amended to be November 15, 2009. On November 13,
2009, the holders of the Company's Senior Secured Notes Due October 15, 2009
agreed to extend the maturity date thereof to December 31, 2009.

Results
of Operations
Three
and Nine months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared to Three and Nine months Ended
September 30, 2008
Revenues
for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2008 were $705,518 and $1,009,240, respectively, representing a
decrease of $303,722, or 30%. The Company has generated revenues of
$1,916,951 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $2,497,855
in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, representing a decrease of
$580,904, or 23%. Revenues generated were a direct result of our
subsidiary, Owlstone, shipping its Tourist, Lonestar and Vapor Generator
products along with contracted, instructional and set-up services provided to
customers as of September 30, 2009. The decrease in revenues for
the quarter is related to the Company’s focus on contracted revenue sources for
specific application development which leads to near term revenue
opportunities. With the Company’s focus primarily on funded
development programs, the Company has delayed algorithm development efforts for
the Lonestar product until such time as when it has sufficient resources to do
so.
Cost of
Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the three months
ended September 30, 2008 were $145,407 and $449,293, respectively, representing
a decrease of $303,886, or 67.6%. Cost of Sales for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the nine months ended September 30,
2008 were $438,586 and $1,007,239, respectively, representing a decrease of
$568,653, or 56.5%. The decrease in Cost of Sales is related to the
higher percentage of gross margin achieved with contracted revenue as compared
to product revenue as the Company continues to focus on near term revenue
targets through application development with its customers.
Research
and development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to
same three months ended September 30, 2008 were $553,081 and $500,629,
respectively, representing a decrease of $52,452, or 10.5%. Research and
development costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to same
nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $1,446,763 and $1,709,462,
respectively, representing a decrease of $262,699, or 15%. Research and
development costs relate directly to the Owlstone Nanotech, Inc. majority owned
subsidiary.
General
and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009
compared to same three months ended September 30, 2008 were $642,741 and
$1,444,951 respectively, representing a decrease of $802,210, or
55.5%. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 compared to same nine months ended September 30, 2008 were
$2,396,629 and $5,112,549 respectively, representing a decrease of $2,715,920,
or 53.1%. General and administrative expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same nine months ended September 30,
2008 included:
●
|
a
decrease in salaries and related benefits of approximately $1,383,000
(decrease
in non-cash benefits of $1,023,000).
|
|
●
|
a
decrease in professional (legal, accounting and consulting) fees of
approximately $824,000;
|
|
●
|
a
decrease in marketing and investor relations
fees of approximately $229,000;
|
|
●
|
a
decrease in Research & Development costs (non-employee related) of
approximately $195,000;
and
|
|
●
|
a
decrease in insurance, travel and rent of approximately $186,000;
|
Interest and other income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and for
the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $247,711 and ($9,167),
respectively, representing a decrease of $256,878 from 2008. Interest and
other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 was $398,483 and $534,075, respectively,
representing a decrease of $135,592. The decrease in other income
was due mainly to the receipt of a Research & Development tax
credit from the UK government in 2008 of approximately $406,000 which was
off-set by a Singapore tax refund of approximately $150,615 in
2009. Additionally, the Company no longer receives rental income from
its New York City lease since the lease has been assigned in its entirety.
Interest income decreased by $18,236 for the same nine month period in
2009 compared to 2008. This decrease was a result of our decreased cash and cash
equivalents maintained in our short-term money market account. Cash
decreased throughout 2008 and 2009 as a result of our need to continue
funding operations. All of our cash reserves had been invested in liquid
securities at large financial institutions.
Interest
expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and for the three months
ended September 30, 2008 was $646,588 and $199,025, respectively, representing
an increase of $447,563. Interest expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was
$1,235,509 and $554,743, respectively, representing an increase of
$680,766. The increase in interest expense correlates to the increase
in convertible notes and Senior Secured Notes that the Company issued and the
corresponding interest expense obligation on those notes. Other
Expenses included a non-cash late registration accrual of $327,447 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 relating to the registration obligations for the
convertible note holders. The Company also incurred a non-cash gain
of $1,274,753 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, for the
re-valuation of the Company’s warrant liability driven by the change in the
price of the Company’s common stock from June 30, 2009. The Company
incurred a non-cash loss of $221,191 for the nine months ended September 30,
2009, for the fair value of Convertible Note derivative.

4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls
and procedures
As of
September 30, 2009, our management carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer
("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
("Exchange Act"). Disclosure controls are controls and procedures that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports
filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-Q, is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without
limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits
under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's
management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers,
or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
As
described fully in the Company’s Form 10-K for the period ending December 31,
2008 under Item 9A(T) (b) Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting, our management has identified and reported to our audit committee and
Mendoza Berger & Company LLP, our independent registered public accounting
firm, a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. As a
result of this material weakness, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of
September 30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective. However, management believes based on its knowledge, that
(1) this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
a material fact necessary to make the statements made not misleading with
respect to the period covered by this report, and (2) the financial statements,
and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all
material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
for the years and periods then ended.
ITEM
4(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During
the year ended December 31, 2008, we identified a material weakness with
the accounting of our majority owned subsidiary and with the internal controls
associated with oversight of this subsidiary. We continue to improve and further
develop and re-design controls over Owlstone Limited in the third quarter
and beyond in 2009 including assigning responsibility for execution of the
controls throughout various levels of our organization and focusing on
increasing the precision, speed and efficiency of the controls. The
Company plans to hire a senior level Financial Controller/Finance Director in
the U.K. to provide oversight, improve internal financial controls and provide
local accounting expertise for the Company. During the quarter
ended September 30, 2009, there were no other changes in our internal control
over financial reporting which have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
We will
continue to monitor
and evaluate the effectiveness of
our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over
financial reporting on an ongoing basis and
are committed to
taking further action and implementing
additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds
allow.
