ITEM
1. BUSINESS.
Biofield
Corp. is a development-stage medical technology company which has developed an
advanced medical device and associated diagnostic system (the Biofield
Diagnostic System or “BDS”) to assist in detecting breast cancer, has secured
exclusive marketing rights to products for treatment of oral and genital herpes
and a diagnostic test for cervical cancer, and seeks to secure marketing rights
for other complimentary products.
In March
of 2006, MacKay Group Limited (“MKG”) acquired control of the
Company. Prior to the date MKG acquired control of the Company, the
Company was focused on securing approval of the BDS from the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (“U.S. FDA”). These efforts were unsuccessful and led
to MKG’s acquisition of control of the Company. Under MKG, the
Company has focused on developing markets outside the United States with
significant populations of women, where MKG has significant industry and
government relationships, where the need for the BDS appears compelling, and
where the regulatory hurdles are not as burdensome. These markets
include China (including Hong Kong and Macau), India, the Philippines,
Indonesia, Malaysia, and other parts of Asia. The Company also
intends to develop markets in Mexico, Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa,
Europe, and the Middle East. As the Company’s resources permit, the
Company will seek U.S. FDA approval of the BDS. The Company believes its
strategy of developing foreign markets will provide additional clinical data and
research and development (including as it may pertain to screening and other
cancers) which will facilitate its efforts to secure U.S. FDA
approval.
In 2008,
the Company recommitted its efforts to secure CE mark certification for BDS,
recruited a new management team, opened an office in Hong Kong, in conjunction
with the Company’s controlling stockholder, MKG, opened a sales office in
Bangalore, India, moved its US offices from King of Prussia, Pennsylvania to
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and embarked on a strategy to assemble a portfolio
of
medical technology products that can be distributed using the same sales
channels the Company intends to use to market the BDS.
In
furtherance of its strategy to develop revenue while pursuing the CE mark for
BDS, the Company obtained exclusive, worldwide distribution rights from NeuroMed
Devices, Inc. for NeuroMed’s OraCalm device, for oral herpes, and Vira Calm
device, for genital herpes. In early 2009, the Company obtained
exclusive, worldwide distribution rights (excluding Belgium) from Valibio, SA
for ValiRx plc’s Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) diagnostic test for cervical
cancer, ValioRx’s Hypergenomics™ and Nucleosomics™ cancer diagnostics products,
and any other cancer diagnostic products developed during the term of the
Distribution Agreement The Company
expects to begin marketing the OraCalm device, for oral herpes, via direct web
based/internet marketing, retail, wholesale and through physicians and hospitals
in 2009.
In 2007,
the Company moved its facilities, inventory and operations from Alpharetta,
Georgia to King of Prussia, Pennsylvania and transferred and reorganized
voluminous amounts of clinical and technological data and financial records,
resumed filing annual and quarterly reports with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) and brought all of its filings current, converted
approximately $2 million of the Company’s debt to equity stock, and began a
number of foreign market initiatives which are discussed in Item 6 of the
Company’s Form 10-KSB for fiscal year ending December 31, 2007 filed April 15,
2008.
Most of
2006 was consumed in connection with the series of transactions which resulted
in acquiring control of the Company. Unless indicated otherwise
below, any material events in 2006 related to events, which predated 2006 and
the MKG acquisition, and which were reported in detail in the Company’s prior
SEC’s filings including its Form 10-KSB for fiscal year ending December 31, 2005
filed May 30, 2006.
The
BDS Technology
Based on
clinical trial results to date involving over 3,000 patients, the BDS has
demonstrated the following benefits:
|
·
|
It is
noninvasive;
|
|
·
|
It is
radiation-free;
|
|
·
|
It is
compression-free;
|
|
·
|
It produces objective results
within 20 minutes without the need for interpretation by a
radiologist;
|
|
The device is portable and can be
transported via mobile van
units;
|
|
·
|
The BDS test can be performed in
a physician’s office or other similar location by a medical technician
with a few days training;
|
|
·
|
It has performed better in
certain respects than other existing breast cancer detection technologies.
Clinical trials to date have demonstrated advantages of the BDS in (1)
detecting more malignant tumors, especially smaller cancers missed by
other detection technologies; (2) reducing the number of equivocal
decisions; (3) reducing the number of false positives; and (4) reducing
the number of certain expensive follow-up diagnostic tests, such as
surgical biopsies, ultrasounds and diagnostic mammograms;
and
|
|
·
|
The estimated cost of the BDS is
expected to be significantly less than the cost of purchasing, installing,
operating and interpreting the results from diagnostic x-ray mammography
or other diagnostic imaging
equipment.
|
At a
simplistic level, the BDS detects and analyzes electrical potential cell changes
associated with the development of epithelial cancers, such as breast cancer,
using a non-invasive and objective test taking less than 20 minutes, which helps
a physician determine the probability that a previously identified lesion is
malignant or benign and whether the lesion should be removed by biopsy or
whether other action should be taken. Epithelial cancers are related
to the outside layer of cells that cover all the free, open surfaces of the body
including the skin, and mucous membranes that communicate with the outside of
the body, and include cancer of the breast, ovaries, skin, prostate and
colon.
Epithelial
cancers are characterized by small changes in the electrical charge of the
affected tissue. These changes, when they occur, result in a
depolarization of the charge distribution found in normal epithelial tissue
which lines many solid organs, including the stomach, colon, prostate,
endometrium, lung and breast. This depolarization appears to be
progressive as cell transformation and carcinogensis occur, and is measurable at
the skin surface.
The BDS
employs single-use sensors of our own design, which are arranged on the skin
surface in and around the quadrant of the breast where a suspicious lesion has
been identified and in corresponding locations on the asymptomatic
breast. Sensor readings are taken and analyzed using a pre-programmed
algorithm to measure differentials which may exist between test points. The
higher the BDS' output, the greater the probability that the patient has cancer
in the area examined. The physician can use this information, together with
other available clinical information, to determine the appropriate course of
action.
The
current version of the BDS is intended to be used as an adjunct to physical
examination or relevant imaging modalities to provide physicians and patients
with immediate and objective information about the probability that a previously
identified lesion is malignant or benign, without regard to the size, weight or
volume of the lesion. The device currently is intended for palpable
breast lesions in women under 55 years of age. We believe that the
BDS, together with other available clinical information, could reduce diagnostic
uncertainty and decrease the number of diagnostic procedures, including surgical
biopsies, performed on suspicious breast lesions. In clinical studies, the BDS
performed statistically better in the clinically difficult subgroup of women 55
years of age and younger, for whom certain diagnostic imaging modalities, such
as mammography and ultrasound, are generally considered less
effective.
We
previously conducted clinical trials involving leading medical institutions and
breast cancer specialists and over 3,000 participants in the United States,
Europe and Asia. The participants were women with suspicious breast
lesions, detected either by x-ray mammography screening or a physical
examination (self or by physician). Women who participated in our
clinical trials had undergone diagnostic work-ups, which often included a series
of tests, before proceeding to biopsy. In each of our studies, the
results obtained were then compared to the biopsy results. Based on our clinical
studies to date, and although our device cannot determine the presence of breast
cancer in all cases, we believe that our device, together with other available
information, could reduce diagnostic uncertainty and decrease the number of
diagnostic procedures, including surgical biopsies performed on suspicious
lesions.
Based on
our clinical experience with the BDS for testing women that have symptoms of
breast cancer (often referred to as symptomatic women) and our belief
that the electrophysiological characteristics of cancer are similar for both
lesions that can be felt in a physical examination (palpable) and
those lesions that cannot be felt in a physical
examination (non-palpable), we believe that our technology should be
adaptable for breast cancer screening in women who have not demonstrated any
symptoms of breast cancer (often referred to as asymptomatic
women). Based on this belief, current management is working with
leading experts, institutions, and/or agencies in China and other parts of Asia
and the U.S. on the development, including the possibility of joint U.S.-Asian
clinical trials, of a prototype design of an enhanced version of our device,
which may be of use as a screening system. The enhanced version of
our device would contain additional data channels to allow for more sensors to
surround the breast or other area where a lesion is present and an algorithm to
better analyze the data received. Current management is also working
on developing new sensors and sensor configuration for the proposed screening
device.
For more
information the BDS and its history, development, clinical trials, and
limitations, see the Company’s prior SEC filings, published studies, and
website, including the more detailed discussion on the BDS in the Company’s Form
10-KSB for the year
ended December 31, 2005 filed May 30, 2006.
The
State of Breast Cancer Globally
The
description about breast cancer and current detection technologies contained in
the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed May 30,
2006, has not changed materially. As reported in, among other
publications, the October 15, 2007 edition of Time Magazine, breast cancer is
the most common and lethal form of cancer for women in the
world. According to the World Health Organization, more than 1.2
million cases are identified worldwide each year, and about 500,000 new and
existing patients will die from the disease. In the U.S., breast cancer will be
diagnosed in 1 in 8 women. A woman’s chance of developing breast
cancer during her lifetime is about 1 out of 7 or 13.4
percent. According to studies, the chance that breast cancer will be
the cause for a woman’s death is 1 in 33 or three percent.
Once
considered a malady, which was perceived to have mostly afflicted white,
affluent women in the industrialized hubs of North America and Western Europe,
today breast cancer is spreading around the world. Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe,
and Latin America have all seen their caseload spike. By 2020, 70% of
all breast cancer cases worldwide will be in developing countries. As reported
in the Time article, below are the incidence rate in 2002 of breast cancer cases
per 100,000 people in countries other than the U.S. and Western
Europe:

Time Magazine, October 15, 2007, Special Report-Global Breast Cancer, A Disease
Breaks Free, pp. 38-39, (citing International Agency for Research on Cancer,
Danish Cancer Society, National Cancer Institute, and other
sources).
However,
as the reach of the disease is expanding, the reach of detection and treatment
is not. For a women battling breast cancer in the industrialized
West, new diagnosis and treatment options are more available, accessible, and
affordable. This is not so elsewhere. In the U.S., an
estimated $8.1 billion is spent to diagnose and treat breast cancer each year,
and the ubiquity of mammography machines, clinics and specialists show what that
money can buy. Other parts of the world are not as
fortunate.
Sources
suggest several factors why women outside the U.S. and Western Europe are not
benefiting from early detection. Some women in other parts of the
world just do not know much about breast cancer, much less options such as
mammography. If they know, there are cultural perceptions about
motherhood or femininity in certain parts of the world, which discourage women
to seek medical help. The specter of surgical biopsies or other
invasive or painful modalities and the likelihood of false positives are other
factors which may discourage women from seeking medical help. Of course, money
is a problem as is availability and accessibility to facilities with mammography
or other detection modalities. Mammography and other current
detection modalities are expensive to purchase, operate, and
interpret. In certain instances, they require specialized facilities
and personnel. In many areas, mammograms are limited to major medical
centers, many of which are simply not available or accessible to women outside
the United States and Western Europe. Whatever the factors, the
unfortunate consequence is that the percentage of cancers caught at an early
stage in certain countries overseas is too low. Thus, early awareness
and detection are even more compelling in areas of the world outside North
America and Western Europe.
Recent
studies have also raised concerns about the effectiveness in certain
circumstances of mammography, which ever since the 1980s has long been
considered the gold standard for detecting breast tumors. A 2007 study in the
New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) concluded that a highly promoted and
widely used computerized system for examining mammograms is leading to less
accuracy, not more. According to the study, this type of mammography
not only failed to detect more cancers, it led to more false alarms that
resulted in additional testing and biopsies for spots on mammograms that turned
out to be harmless. See April 5, 2007 New York Times article, “Study
to Detect Breast Cancer,” The NEJM study sparked heated debates about options in
addition to mammography. Much of the debate centered about magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI). While MRIs can produce a more detailed
picture of breast tissue, they are expensive and tend to produce more false
positives than mammograms. The New York Times article reported that MRIs would
cost healthcare insurers and providers an additional $1 billion per
year.
For more
information, see the Company’s prior SEC filings, published studies, and
website, including the more detailed discussion on breast cancer and current
detection modalities in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended December
31, 2005 filed May 30, 2006.
Company
History
The
March 30, 2006 MKG Acquisition
On March
30, 2006, MKG acquired a controlling interest in the Company as a result
of a series of agreements detailed in and attached to the Company’s April 6,
2006 Form 8-K.
In
connection with MKG’s acquisition of control of the Company, all of the
Company’s prior royalty, distribution, employment, research and development, and
consulting agreements were terminated and directors John Stephens and Dr.
Raymond Long , resigned from
the Board of Directors and James
MacKay and Michael Yom were elected to the Board. MacKay became
chairman and Yom president. Dr. David Long remained a board member
until his death in April 2006.
The
Debt Conversion
In
connection with MKG acquisition of a controlling interest in the Company, MKG
acquired approximately $2 million of the Company’s indebtedness. On
January 17, 2008, the Company issued 9,994,550 shares of common stock and
12,300,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to complete the debt conversion
contemplated by the agreements detailed in and attached to the Company’s April
6, 2006 Form 8-K. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock entitles the
holder thereto to two (2) votes. The debt conversion occurred as
follows:

As a
result of the issuance of common stock and voting preferred stock pursuant to
the debt conversion, the transfer of stock by LFCG to MKG pursuant to the Long
Agreement, and MKG’s assignment to Mr. MacKay (including 5,898,495 shares), Mr.
MacKay became the holder of shares of the Company's capital stock entitling him
to approximately 51.96% of all of the votes entitled to be cast by stockholders
of the Company on a fully-diluted basis For more
details on the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, see the Company’s Form 8-K
filed January 23, 2008.
On March
4, 2009, The Company issued 3,693,333 shares of common stock upon conversion of
$422,000 of debt.
Unless
indicated otherwise below, there were no material events or developments in 2009
related to government regulation, manufacturing, marketing and sales, patents
and proprietary information, licenses and other agreements, research &
development, competition, employees, and risk factors from the sections relating
to those subjects in the Company prior SEC’s filings including its Amended Form
10-K for fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 filed February 01,
2010.
The
Company has refocused its energies to distributing the BDS in foreign
markets. The Company plans to reinitiate efforts to obtain U.S.
FDA approval of the BDS when sufficient resources are available. The Company
believes that the government and industry relationships, the possible
significant clinical data and research and development, and revenues it secures
abroad will advance efforts to secure U.S. FDA approval.
With its
new management team, the Company also resumed work to obtain CE mark
certification for the BDS.
Manufacturing
Under
prior management, the BDS device and sensors were manufactured in the
U.S. The company which prior management engaged to design the
prototype of the BDS device has manufacturing facilities in Ireland. In addition
to these options, the Company under MKG is working with technical,
manufacturing, and regulatory experts to manufacture the new prototype device
and the sensors overseas, including China and Mexico. The Company is
also considering other FDA-certified manufacturing facilities in the U.S., which
manufacture similar non-invasive technology.
Licenses
and Other Agreements
As of
March 30, 2006, the date of the MKG Acquisition, all licensing, royalty,
distribution, and employment agreements had been terminated or were
terminated. This was a condition precedent to the MKG
Acquisition. Under the Long Agreement, MKG agreed to give the Longs a
royalty equal to 1% of the Company’s net sales worldwide for three years
commencing as of March 31, 2006. MKG also entered into a three-year,
$60,000 per year consulting agreement with Dr. David Long or his
nominee.
Marketing
and Sales
In
furtherance of its strategy to develop revenue while pursuing the CE mark for
BDS, the Company obtained exclusive, worldwide distribution rights from NeuroMed
Devices, Inc. for NeuroMed’s OraCalm device, for oral herpes, and Vira Calm
device, for genital herpes. The Company has also obtained exclusive,
worldwide distribution rights (excluding Belgium) from Valibio, SA for ValiRx
plc’s Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) diagnostic test for cervical cancer, ValioRx’s
Hypergenomics™ and Nucleosomics™ cancer diagnostics products, and any other
cancer diagnostic products developed during the term of the Distribution
Agreement.
Employees
David
Bruce Hong serves as our sole employee and is our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Accounting Officer.
We Expect to Continue to
Incur Significant Operating Losses Which Endangers our Viability as a
Going-Concern
The
Company has never established adequate sources of operating revenue and had
incurred net operating losses since our inception. At December 31,
2009, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $86.1
million. These losses have resulted principally from costs incurred
in research and development and clinical trials and from general and
administrative costs associated with our operations. We expect operating losses
to continue, mainly due to the anticipated expenses associated with the
pre-market approval process and proposed commercialization of our device,
research and development and marketing activities and administration
costs. Our continuing losses have caused our independent accountants
to qualify their audit report regarding our use of "going concern" basis of
accounting in preparation of our 2009 consolidated financial
statements. Although the Company, under MKG, is now focused on
distributing the BDS and complementary products overseas relying on MKG’s
foreign government, industry, and distribution relationships, there can be no
reasonable assurances, however, that such efforts will be to establish
predictable and scalable sources of revenue.
Our Cash Flow Problems Have
Caused Us to be Delinquent in Payments to Vendors and Other
Creditors
Since
1998, our lack of financial resources has caused us to delay payment of our
obligations as they became due in the ordinary course of our
business. Such delays have damaged some of our vendor and
professional relationships, and have caused us to incur additional expenses in
the payment of late charges and penalties. As of December 31, 2009,
we had a working capital deficiency of approximately $9.5 million and accounts
payable and accrued expenses, primarily to service providers and vendors,
aggregating approximately $3.6 million, substantially all of which are past due.
These amounts have increased since December 31, 2008.
We Will Require Significant
Additional Capital to Continue Operations Which May Not be
Available
Our
continued losses and operational plan require us to secure substantial equity
financing to continue in business. As a result of our weak financial
position, lack of operating history, and inherent risk, the cost of obtaining
new finance will continue to be very high, and if arrangements involve issuance
of shares, the future dilution could be significant. There can be no
reasonable assurances that equity financing, if available, can be obtained when
needed or on terms favorable to the Company or the existing holders of our
equity securities.
We Have a Limited Operating
History
We have
had a limited history of operations. Since inception in October 1987,
we have engaged principally in the development of our device, which has not been
approved for sale in the United States, and recently in securing distribution
rights for complimentary products. Consequently, we have little
experience in manufacturing, marketing and selling our products and no
meaningful history upon which you can evaluate the likelihood of our ultimate
success. There can be no reasonable assurances, the Company will be
successful.
We May Not Be Able to Obtain
Government Regulatory Approval to Market and Sell Our
Products
Regulation
by governmental authorities in the United States will be a significant factor in
the manufacture and marketing of our products, as well as our research and
development activities. All of our proposed products will require
regulatory approval by governmental agencies before commercialization and our
products must undergo rigorous pre-clinical and clinical testing and other
pre-market approval procedures prescribed by the FDA. Various federal and, in
some cases, state statutes and regulations also govern or influence the
manufacturing, safety, labeling, storage, record keeping and marketing of
medical devices. The lengthy process of seeking these approvals, and
the subsequent compliance with applicable statutes and regulations, will require
us to expend substantial resources. If we fail to obtain or are
otherwise substantially delayed in obtaining regulatory approvals, our business
and operations could be significantly and adversely affected. The
regulation of medical devices, particularly in Europe, continues to develop and
we cannot assure that, as new laws and regulations are adopted, these actions
will not have an adverse effect on us.
We May Never be Able to
Bring Our Device to Market or Sustain Its Sales After Regulatory
Approval
Our
device faces a high degree of uncertainty, including the following:
|
·
|
We may not be able to obtain
United States regulatory approval. Obtaining regulatory approval may take
significantly more time and cost significantly more money than
anticipated. Lack of United States regulatory approval has
significantly affected our ability to sell our device outside of the
United States.
|
|
·
|
We
may not be able to produce our device in commercial quantities at
reasonable cost.
|
|
We may not be able to
successfully market our device or find an appropriate corporate partner,
if necessary, to assist us in the marketing of our device. Our device may
not gain satisfactory market acceptance. Our device may be superseded by
another product commercialized for the same use or may infringe patents
issued to others, which would prevent us from marketing and selling our
device.
|
|
·
|
After approval, our device may be
recalled or withdrawn at any time as a result of regulatory issues,
including those concerning safety and
efficacy.
|
If we are
unable to successfully market our device or sustain its sales, our business,
financial condition and results of operations will be significantly and
adversely affected.
We are Currently Dependent
on a Single Product Which Has Not Yet Been Commercialized
We intend
to develop additional applications for our device, based on its core technology,
none of these applications is expected to result in a commercial product for at
least several years, if at all. Consequently, until such time, if at
all, as our device is approved for commercial distribution in the United States,
limited distribution of our device overseas will account for substantially all
of our revenues, if any. The Company, under MKG, is proceeding to
distribute the BDS overseas and is working with foreign government, medical, and
other experts to develop the BDS for additional applications such as screening
and diagnosis of other cancers. Moreover, the Company, under MKG, is
working to acquire the rights to other medical technologies. There
can be no reasonable assurances that such efforts will be
successful.
Our Contract Manufacturers
May be Unable to Produce Commercial Quantities of Our
Products
Our
current contract manufacturer for our device has not yet completed the redesign
of a new version of our device due to our delay in payment for its redesign
services and has not yet manufactured our device. We cannot assure you that it
will complete its redesign services or be able to manufacture in volume, when,
or if, the need may arise. If this situation occurs, our business could be
significantly and adversely affected. Given the interest generated
overseas, the Company, under MKG, is considering many options with regard to
manufacture, both in the U.S. and overseas, including China, India, and
Mexico. There can be no reasonable assurances that such efforts will
be successful.
If Our Single Source
Suppliers are Unable to Deliver, Our Business Would Suffer
For
certain services and components, we currently rely on single suppliers. If we
encounter delays or difficulties with our third-party suppliers in producing,
packaging or distributing our device and its components, market introduction and
subsequent sales would be significantly adversely affected. If we are required
to rely on alternative sources of supply, we cannot assure you that we will be
able to enter into alternative supply arrangements at commercially acceptable
rates, if at all. If we are unable to obtain or retain qualified suppliers and
contract manufacturers on commercially acceptable terms, we will not be able to
commercialize our device as planned. Our dependence upon third
parties for the manufacture and supply of our device and components may
significantly and adversely affect our ability to attain profitability and our
ability to manufacture and deliver our device on a timely and competitive
basis.
We May Not be Able to Apply
Our Technology to Other Uses and Products
We cannot
assure you that our technology will be approved and accepted for breast cancer
screening or for the detection of other cancers. Furthermore, we also
cannot assure you, even if we can develop any new products or uses for our
current device that such products or uses would be approved by the FDA or by any
comparable foreign regulatory bodies, or would be commercially
viable.
Our Device Will Be Subject
to Continuing Review by the FDA Which Could Impact On Our Ability to Sell It in
the Future
Any
changes to our device or the manner in which it is used after it is approved
will require additional approval by the FDA. Our failure to receive approval of
such a change on a timely basis, or at all, would have a significant adverse
effect on our business.
We cannot
assure that our manufacturers will be in compliance with the FDA's quality
system regulations and good manufacturing practices, when the FDA inspects them,
or that they will continue to maintain this compliance. A failure to maintain
compliance could significantly delay approval of our pre-market application to
the FDA for our device or prevent us from marketing it if we obtain this
approval, and would have a significant adverse effect on our
business.
If Foreign Regulatory
Approvals are Withdrawn, Our Business Will Suffer
We cannot
assure you that the foreign regulatory approvals that we have received, which
allow us to sell the prior version of our device in certain foreign countries,
will not be withdrawn or that our redesigned device, when completed, will
receive regulatory approval. Our failure to continue to maintain these approvals
or to obtain any additional foreign approvals could have a significant adverse
effect on our business.
Changes to Health Care
Reimbursement Regulations and Practices Could Adversely Affect
Us
Our
ability to successfully commercialize our products will depend, in part, on the
extent to which reimbursement for the cost of our products and related treatment
will be available from government health administration authorities, private
health insurers and other organizations. These third-party payers are
increasingly challenging the price of medical products and
services.
Several
proposals have been made that may lead to a government-directed national health
care system. Adoption of this type of system could further limit
reimbursement for medical products, and we cannot assure you that adequate
third-party coverage will be available to enable us to establish, and then
maintain, price levels sufficient to generate reasonable profit. In addition, we
also cannot assure you that the U.S. government or foreign governments will not
implement a system of price controls. Any change in the existing
system might significantly affect our ability to market our products
profitably.
Health Care Insurers May Not
Reimburse for the Use of Our Products
Governmental
health authorities, private health insurers and other organizations may not
approve the cost for the use of our device as an authorized medical expenditure
under their programs, which would severely restrict the marketability of our
device.
Certain Foreign Governments
May Not Give Reimbursement Code for Our Device
Government
health authorities, especially in the countries where most of the reimbursements
flow through government agencies, may not provide us with a reimbursement code,
which is required for claiming the cost for the use of our device from
government agencies. If we are unable to obtain such reimbursement
codes in major markets, marketability of our device may be severely
restricted.
We Expect to Encounter
Difficulty in Hiring Required Personnel and the Loss of any Key Personnel Could
Adversely Affect our Operations
As a
small medical technology company, we are heavily dependent upon the talents of
key personnel. Due to lack of funding, we are unable to pay current
salaries, and thus retention of employees is a difficult. We use
services of some of the ex-employees as consultants when we have the cash and if
they are available to perform the required services. Competition for
qualified personnel in the medical device and biotechnology industries is
intense and we do not know if we will be successful in our recruitment
efforts. If we are unable to attract, and then retain, qualified
personnel, our operations will be significantly adversely affected.
Our Results of Operations
May Suffer if Foreign Trade is Restricted or Foreign Regulations are
Modified
Until we
receive approval from the FDA to market our device in the United States, our
revenues, if any, will be derived from international sales. A significant
portion of our revenues, therefore, may be subject to the risks associated with
international sales, including foreign regulatory requirements, economic or
political instability, shipping delays, fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates and various trade restrictions, all of which could have a
significant impact on our ability to deliver products on a competitive and
timely basis and our ability to achieve profitable operations. Future
impositions of, or significant increases in the level of, customs duties, export
quotas or other trade restrictions could have a significant adverse effect on
our business.
The
medical technology industry is highly competitive, particularly in the area of
cancer screening and diagnostic products. We are likely to encounter significant
competition with respect to our device, as well as any other products that we
may develop. A number of companies are engaged in the same field as
us, and many of these companies have significantly greater financial, technical
and marketing resources than us. In addition, many of these companies may have
more established positions in the industry and may be better equipped than us to
develop, refine and market their products. Our inability to
successfully compete in the industry would have a significant adverse effect on
our business.
Our Device May be Rendered
Obsolete by Rapid Technological Changes
Methods
for the detection of cancer are subject to rapid technological innovation and we
cannot assure you that technological changes will not render our device
obsolete. Likewise, we cannot assure you that the development of new
types of diagnostic medical equipment or technology will not have a significant
adverse effect on the marketability of our device. Commercial
availability of any new product could render our device obsolete, which would
have a significant adverse effect on our business.
Product Liability Claims in
Excess of the Amount of Our Insurance Could Significantly Affect Our Financial
Condition
Our
business exposes us to potential product liability risks, which are inherent in
the testing, manufacturing and marketing of cancer detection products.
Significant litigation, none of which has involved us, has occurred in the past
based on allegations of false negative diagnoses of cancer. While our
device does not purport to diagnose any patient, we cannot assure you that we
will not be subjected to future claims and potential liability. We cannot assure
you that claims against us arising with respect to our device will be
successfully defended or that any insurance which we then carry will be
sufficient to cover liabilities arising from these claims. A
successful claim against us in excess of any insurance coverage, which we may
have, would, in most instances, deplete our assets and have a significant
adverse effect on our business. Furthermore, we cannot assure that we
will be able to obtain or maintain liability insurance on acceptable
terms.
Our Contract Manufacturers
Use Potentially Hazardous Materials, the Replacement of Which Could Affect Our
Costs
Although
we do not manufacture any of our products, we understand that various cleaning
solvents, used in connection with the contract manufacture of our products, may
contain potentially hazardous materials. As a result, our contract
manufacturers, in the future, could become subject to stringent federal, state
and local laws, rules, regulations and policies governing the use, generation,
manufacture, storage, air emission, effluent discharge, handling and disposal of
these materials. We cannot assure you that we will not incur
significant future price increases imposed by our contract manufacturers to
comply with environmental laws, rules, regulations and policies, or that our
business will not be significantly and adversely affected by current or future
environmental laws, rules, regulations and policies or by any releases or
discharges of hazardous materials.
If We are Unable to Protect
Our Intellectual Property Rights, We Could Lose Our Competitive
Advantage
Our
commercial success will be dependent upon proprietary rights that we own or
license. We cannot assure you that any of our patents will not be
invalidated or that our patents will provide us protection that has commercial
significance. Litigation may be necessary to protect our patent positions, which
could be costly and time consuming. If any of our key patents that we
own or license is invalidated, our business may be significantly adversely
affected. In addition, other companies may have trade secrets or may
independently develop know-how or obtain access to our trade secrets, know-how
or proprietary technology, which could significantly and adversely affect our
business.
We Do Not Have the Financial
Resources to Enforce and Defend All of Our Intellectual Property
Rights
The
actions, which we may take to protect our intellectual property, may not be
adequate to deter misappropriation of this property. We currently do not have
adequate financial resources required to enforce, through litigation, our
intellectual property rights. In addition, litigation could result in
a substantial diversion of managerial time and resources, which could adversely
affect our business.
Other
companies may have obtained other proprietary rights to technology that may be
potentially useful to us. It is possible that a third party could successfully
claim that our device or its components infringe on its intellectual property
rights. If this were to occur, we may be subject to substantial
damages, and we may not be able to obtain appropriate licenses at a cost that we
could afford and we may not have the ability to timely redesign our device. If
we are required to pay material damages or are unable to obtain these rights or
are unable to successfully redesign our device at a reasonable cost, our
business could be significantly and adversely affected.
Our Stock Price has Been
Volatile
The price
of our common stock has fluctuated substantially since our initial public
offering in 1996. The market price for our common stock, like that of
the common stock of many other medical device companies, is likely to continue
to be highly volatile.
Our Principal Stockholder
Can Control Most Matters Requiring Approval by Our
Stockholders
MKG owns
a majority of the outstanding voting securities and can determine the election
of our directors, and as a result, our policies and the outcome of all important
matters that are subject to the vote of our stockholders. This
concentration of ownership, among other things, also may increase our difficulty
in raising necessary financing.
We Lack Independent
Directors
We cannot
assure you that our Board of Directors will have any independent
directors In the absence of a majority of independent
directors, our Board of Directors could establish policies and enter into
transactions without independent review. This presents the potential
for a conflict of interest between MKG, management, and our stockholders, and
may increase our difficulty in raising necessary financing. In
addition, we cannot establish an audit committee or compensation committee
without independent directors, which could prohibit us from listing our shares
of common stock for trading on a recognized national securities exchange or on
any electronic exchange regulated by NASDAQ. MKG, intends to
restructure the Company’s board of directors in the future to bring recruit
independent directors to preserve or prepare for future potential listing
opportunities. There can be no reasonable assurances that such
efforts will be successful.
We Have Issued 12,300,000
shares of Preferred
Stock
The
Company issued 12,300,000 shares of voting preferred stock of the Company to Mr.
MacKay to consummate the conversion of the Converted Debt. Each share
of voting preferred stock entitles the holder thereto to two (2) votes. For a
description of the Series A Preferred Stock, see the Company’s Form 8-K filed
January 23, 2008.
Our Stockholders Could be
Adversely Affected by the Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware
Law
We are
subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held
Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an
"interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the
transaction in which the person becomes an interested stockholder, unless the
business combination is approved in a prescribed manner or unless the interested
stockholder acquires at least 85% of the corporation's voting stock (excluding
shares held by certain designated stockholders) in the transaction in which it
becomes an interested stockholder. A "business
combination" includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a
financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain
exceptions, an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with
affiliates and associates, owns, or within the previous three years did own, 15%
or more of the corporation's voting stock. This provision of the
Delaware law could delay and make more difficult a business combination, even if
the business combination would be beneficial to the interests of our
stockholders, and also could limit the price certain investors might be willing
to pay for shares of our common stock.
We have
never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and do not intend
to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
If We Fail to Remain Current
on Our Reporting Requirements, We Could be Removed from the OTC Bulletin Board,
We Could be Investigated by the SEC or We Could Incur Liability to Our
Shareholders.
Companies
trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under
Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be
current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation
privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we fail to remain current on our
reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. As a
result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely
affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and
the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Failure to remain current in our reporting obligations might also subject us to
SEC investigation or private rights of action by our shareholders.
Our Common Stock is Subject
to the "Penny Stock" Rules of the SEC and the Trading Market in Our
Securities is
Limited, Which Makes Transactions in Our Stock Cumbersome and May Reduce the
Value of an Investment in Our Stock.
The
Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the
definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity
security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an
exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain
exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless
exempt, the rules require:
|
·
|
that a broker or dealer approve a
person's account for transactions in penny
stocks;
|
|
·
|
and the broker or dealer receive
from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth
the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be
purchased.
|
In order
to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or
dealer must:
|
·
|
obtain
financial information and investment experience
objectives of the person;
and
|
|
·
|
make a reasonable determination
that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the
person has sufficient knowledge and experience in
financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of
transactions in penny
stocks.
|
The
broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a
disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock
market, which, in highlight form:
|
·
|
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the
suitability determination;
and
|
|
·
|
that the broker or dealer
received a signed, written agreement from the
investor prior to the
transaction.
|
Generally,
brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the
"penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to
dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our
stock.
Disclosure
also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public
offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the
broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the
securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of
fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have
to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the
account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Stock Issued by the Company
is Subject to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933
Stock
issued by the Company is subject to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 and
the restrictions therein.
As to
China, a major focus of the Company, under MKG, the Chinese economy has
experienced significant growth in the past several years, but such growth has
been uneven among various sectors of the economy and geographic
regions. Such development and growth may present risks to entities
operating in China. Because of the challenges created by such growth,
the Chinese government has indicated and taken certain steps to control such
growth and address such challenges. Actions by Chinese government to control
inflation, for example, have restrained economic expansion in the recent past
across several industrial sectors. Similar and continued actions by
the Chinese government in the future could have a significant adverse effect on
domestic economic condition in China. There can be no reasonable assurances that
there will not be any changes respecting Chinese government, economy, laws, and
regulation which may adversely affect the Company.
ITEM
2. PROPERTY.
As of May
2007, the Company moved its corporate headquarters from King of Prussia,
Pennsylvania to 1615 Walnut Street, 3rd and 4th Floors, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, following the Company’s default under the King of Prussia office
lease in March 2008. For 2008, the rent was approximately,
$42,000. Until June 2007, the Company subleased space at the
Alpharetta facility, and was paying month to month rent, to maintain inventory
and clinical, device and other files. In June 2007, pursuant of a
3-year lease, the Company relocated all of its operations to a new office in
King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. The monthly rent for the King of
Prussia office was approximately $4,000 including utilities.
ITEM
3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
As result
of the Company’s arrangement with third party to help manage the Company’s
operations and development of the BDS, the Company has forwarded much of what
was in its King of Prussia office to the third party’s certified manufacturing
and regulatory facilities near Atlanta, Georgia, and seeks to vacate the King of
Prussia office. The landlord of the Company’s King of Prussia office
has subsequently filed for and obtained a judgment in
confession. Counsel, for both sides, is in discussions to work out a
settlement terminating the lease. The monthly rent is approximately
$3,500 and it is a 3 year lease. As of April 10, 2009, the Company is in process
of working out any remaining issue with the Landlord.
The
Company was also advised that a judgment in the amount of $16,228 has been
entered against it and its former officer, Michael Yom. The Company’s
counsel was advised of this matter only after judgment was entered and is
considering appropriate relief. The Complaint only states that this
company sued for the price of goods sold and/or services provided on a book
account, although the Company’s present management is unaware of what goods
and/or services were allegedly provided to this company.
The
Company filed an action seeking a declaratory judgment and injunctive relief
against William R. Dunavant in the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania. The Company is seeking a determination that Company has
no obligation to pay the remuneration contemplated by the consulting agreement
with Mr. Dunavant and injunctive relief to prevent Mr. Dunavant from continuing
to violate the confidentiality and restrictive covenants in the consulting
agreement.
We are
not a party to any other pending legal proceeding which is not routine
litigation incidental to our business or which involves a claim for damages
exceeding 10% of our current assets, nor are we aware of any current proceeding
concerning us that a governmental authority may be contemplating.

THE
COMPANY’S FOCUS ON FOREIGN MARKETS UNDER MKG
Prior
management’s focus was on securing U.S. FDA approval to distribute the BDS in
the U.S. Under MKG, the Company has reoriented its energies towards generating
sales in foreign markets with significant populations of women, where MKG has
significant industry and government relationships, where the need for the BDS
appears compelling, and where the regulatory hurdles are not as
burdensome. Included among the foreign markets are China (including
Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau), India, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia,
Singapore, Vietnam, and other parts of Asia, Mexico, Latin America, the
Caribbean, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. The initial countries
MKG are focusing on account for approximately one half of the world’s female
population. As articulated in the October 15, 2007 Time Magazine
article, MKG recognized from the outset that breast cancer is no longer an
affliction which only concerns certain segments of women in the U.S. and Western
Europe but is tragically a global challenge. Given the nature of the
BDS, the Company believes that the BDS can play a role to help save lives in
foreign countries, which for a variety of reasons may not have the detection
technologies present in the U.S. and Western Europe.
Since
2007, MKG has been working with leading government, medical, distribution, and
manufacturing representatives, agencies, and institutions in China, India, the
Philippines and other parts of Asia to incorporate the BDS as part of early
detection and awareness initiatives. Since 2007, MKG has also been working with
those representatives, agencies, and institutions to manufacture the BDS device
and sensors overseas; to conduct clinical trials, including joint U.S.-Asian
trials; to further develop the BDS device and sensors for screening purposes;
and to further develop the BDS device and sensors for cancers other than breast
cancer.
MKG
Initiatives in Foreign Markets
In 2007,
MKG continued to meet with significant government, healthcare, distribution, and
manufacturing contacts to distribute, manufacture, and develop the BDS in
foreign markets. MKG strategy is to form strategic alliances, in the form of a
joint venture or sublicense, with entities with significant funding, government
relationships and distribution networks, especially those associated with
hospital systems, regulatory expertise, and manufacturing capabilities. The
joint venture assumes all responsibilities and expenses within the designated
territory to distribute the BDS, secure regulatory approval for the BDS, conduct
clinical trials and development, and in some cases to manufacture the
BDS.
To help
ongoing strategic initiatives in Asia, the Company and MKG opened an office in
Hong Kong in April 2008. The office oversees and is responsible for our ongoing
demonstrations and our sales, regulatory, and other strategic initiatives in
Asia, including the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, the
Philippines, Japan, Indonesia, South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, and
Malaysia. The new office is located at 3412, China Merchants Tower,
168-200 Connaught Road, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. The new office is headed by David
Hong, who will head Biofield operations for all of Asia.
China
In 2007,
MKG had discussions with representatives of Chinese government, including those
associated with China’s state and military hospitals, about potential orders of
the BDS and sensors. Chinese representatives expressed significant
interest in the BDS and discussed, among other things, potential orders for
Chinese hospitals; designating top Chinese medical institutions and doctors to
work with the Company on additional clinical trials and R&D including joint
U.S.-Chinese trials and including on screening and cancers other than breast
cancer; incorporating the BDS into Chinese early detection initiatives and a
cancer fund established for the indigent.
In
April-May 2008, demonstrations of the BDS were conducted in Shanghai before
Shanghai Jiashen Lifecare Investment Management Company Limited (CareLife) at
the Shanghai International Medical Exchange Centre, a division under the
Shanghai Municipal Health Bureau (SIMEC), a leading testing center in Shanghai
for new medical technologies for China. Patients with known malign and benign
tumors were tested; each time BDS accurately identified the nature of the tumor.
A follow-up trip was arranged to train doctors and technicians closely related
to SIMEC and to begin to collect data for studies in Shanghai, China’s largest
city considered the heart of China’s medical community.
As result
of the Shanghai demonstrations, MKG has signed a memorandum of understanding
(MOU) with Carelife’s appointed agent, China International Medical Exchange Ltd
(CIME), to form a joint venture in China with Carelife. Carelife
works with the Shanghai Municipal Health Bureau and leading Chinese medical
testing centers, insurance companies, financial institutions, businesses
(domestic and foreign), hospitals, and doctors to provide healthcare coverage
for persons referred by banks and insurance companies in China and is setting up
medical centers throughout China. One of Carelife’s focuses is to provide health
coverage for cancer. Carelife is also setting up an electronic data collection
system to collect critical medical data to help early detection.
The
closing documents were executed at the June 16 signing ceremony covered by media
in mainland China and Hong Kong for the new Chinese national healthcare JV
arranged by James MacKay and MKG — Worldwide Lifecare Limited (the Carelife JV)
— which will provide Biofield’s Breast Cancer technology and other comprehensive
medical technology and services in China.
The
Carelife JV will open a network across China of medical clinic centers, call
centers and data centers for research and development. The first medical clinic
center will open in February 2009 at Carelife’s China Headquarters in Shanghai.
Carelife is currently in discussions regarding a possible partnership with
China’s National Labor Union which would be funded with an investment by Chinese
Government and others of approximately US $363 million to open more than 500
medical clinic centers across China at different Labor Union centers covering
60% of China’s urban population. This national network would be
part of China’s national healthcare program to instill best healthcare
management practices and to address critical problems related to its aging
population. China’s top insurance companies (China Life
Insurance and Ping An Insurance) and top bank, China Industrial Commercial Bank,
have agreed to refer subscribers, employees, and clients to join the Carelife
network .
The
Carelife JV will provide Biofield’s BDS technology, among others, through this
national 500+ medical clinic center network. The medical clinic centers will
also introduce BDS to hospitals and government-owned medical care units for
China’s general population. Carelife’s target diagnostic penetration rate in
urban China is 20% - representing at least 25 million diagnoses per
year.
Extensive
discussions are taking place with the Chinese Ministry of Health and Chinese
Food and Drug Administration to form a strategic alliance between them and MKG
which would expand the distribution of the BDS device and sensors in China from
the 500 Bio Centers to China’s state-owned and military hospitals.
MKG has
also signed a Joint Venture and Exclusive Distribution Agreement with Fame Star
Investment Limited (FSIL) to form a new JV, the MacKay Medical Group Limited
(“MKMG”) for the distribution, testing, and further development of the BDS and
other medical technology in Hong Kong and Macau. With FSIL’s strategic
relationships within the healthcare community in Hong Kong and Macau, the new JV
will work with, and distribute BDS to, leading clinical testing centers,
hospitals, and medical institutions in Hong Kong to prepare a medical study and
clinical trial for BDS.
Since
2007, MKG has had discussions with hospital, medical and distribution
representatives from India, including those associated with certain national,
regional and municipal government entities and leading hospital systems and
distribution networks in India, about the distribution of the BDS in India.
Following the successful demonstration of the BDS at the October 24, 2007 major
breast cancer detection symposium in Manila, which was attended by leading
Indian representatives, there was significant interest from Indian
representatives about potential significant orders and about distributing and
securing regulatory approval for the BDS in India and other countries in the
Indian subcontinent including Nepal and Bangladesh. The Company expects to
conclude a distribution arrangement in India in or about the middle of 2010 and
to generate purchase orders for 2010.
The
Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia
In 2007,
MKG had repeated meetings with, and have conducted demonstrations for,
significant government, church, healthcare, and distribution representatives in
the Philippines. On March 8, 2007, MKG delivered a BDS device and three cases of
sensors to a hospital in the Philippines. The hospital has started to
take the unit to the provinces as part of their mobile health systems
services. MKG believes that the Filipino Government and the Catholic
Church in the Philippines will publicly endorse the BDS as part of national
initiatives promoting early detection of breast cancer. In 2007
certain bills were introduced before the Filipino Congress (S.B. No. 78, The
Breast Cancer Detection Act of 2007, and S.B. 1815, an Act Creating a Center for
Breast Cancer Control and Prevention), which would require local government
units to conduct a quarterly breast cancer detection program and would establish
the Center for Breast Cancer Control and Prevention.
In
October 2007, MKG formed a joint venture with Eastern Petroleum Corporation, one
of the leading business and petroleum companies in the
Philippines. The joint venture is called the MacKay Eastern Medical
Group (“MacKay Eastern”) and will bear the exclusive responsibility and expense
to distribute, market, gain regulatory approval for, and further develop the BDS
and related technologies in the Philippines, Indonesia and
Malaysia. In October 2007, an initial order of 10 devices and 20
cases of sensors was sold and delivered to the joint venture.
On
October 24, 2007, the joint venture presented the BDS at a major breast cancer
detection symposium in Manila attended by approximately 200 guests, including
representatives from 100 of the top hospitals and medical institutions in the
Philippines and government and industry representatives from the Philippines,
China and India. Following the successful demonstration of the BDS at
the October 24, 2007 major breast cancer detection symposium in Manila,
discussions are taking place about potential orders for 2009
delivery.
In late
2007 through the middle of 2008, MacKay Eastern began launching and conducting
demonstrations and testing of the BDS device and sensors in parts of the
Philippines. In December 2007, MacKay Eastern launched the BDS device
and sensors in General Santos City. In 2007, it also began working
with certain hospitals and clinics in the Philippines. Since late
2007, MacKay Eastern has worked closely with leading national and city
representatives regarding government initiatives to provide breast cancer
detection for government employees.
The
Company anticipates receiving purchase orders for the BDS devices and sensors in
2009, including from representatives associated with national, city, and
municipal Filipino government, including the Congress of the
Philippines. These potential purchase orders would be associated with
the possible enactment of the new breast cancer detection legislation and
national initiatives discussed above by the Congress of the Philippines, which
believes that the Company and its technology can play a significant role in the
national initiatives.
Mexico
In
January 2007, on behalf of the Company, certain representatives successfully
conducted patient demonstrations and seminars of the BDS in Mexico City before
more than 50 OB/GYN and other physicians, nurses, officials, and representatives
from leading hospitals, clinics, laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, and
other health providers based in Mexico and other countries in Latin America. The
demonstrations and seminars were conducted by a noted physician in Mexico City
on female patients with pre-confirmed malignant and benign tumors. Biofield’s
device tested successfully in the patient demonstrations, generating substantial
interest among Mexican OBY/GYN and healthcare communities. The purpose of the
demonstrations and seminars was to introduce Biofield’s technology to leading
opinion makers in the Mexican healthcare community and to seek to secure
purchase orders for the device and sensors. Subsequent meetings and discussions
have taken place with leading hospitals, clinics, physicians, and other opinion
leaders in Mexico, many of which also have clinics, stores, or other facilities
in other Latin American countries. Presentations of Biofield’s technology were
also made on Mexican TV. (See Company’s press release dated
February 23, 2007, a copy of which is available online at
www.biofield.com.)
The
Singapore Sale
On
February 28, 2007, Biofield sold a BDS device and three cases of sensors to
leading distributor in Singapore. The gross proceeds totaled
$24,950. The distributor is an industry leader in Singapore in
biomedical engineering, which serves all the major medical centers and hospitals
in Singapore. The end user is a nationally and internationally
acclaimed institution in Singapore, which is recognized as an innovator for
cutting edge technologies, including those in the biomedical science industry
and medical device field, and for its commitment to public and community
service. The sale was the result of a tender which was awarded to the
Company. In addition to using the BDS for diagnostic purposes, the
end user is conducting significant research which may impact the use of the BDS
for screening purposes. The distributor believes its clients may be
interested in buying the BDS devices and sensors. (See Company’s press release
dated February 28, 2007, a coy of which is available online at
www.biofield.com.)
Other
Foreign Markets
Since
2007, MKG has had discussions with representatives in other foreign countries
concerning South Africa, Japan, and other countries in the Middle East and
Africa. The Company under prior management presented the BDS to
leading government, hospital, and medical representatives from South Africa,
including First Lady Mbeki. During the same trip, the Company met
with leading government representatives from Botswana. Significant
interest was received including interest about transporting the BDS through
mobile van units. There are currently several BDS devices in South
Africa. The Company has also conducted demonstrations for leading
Japanese representatives. One of the Company’s prior clinical trials took place
in Japan. Discussions have also taken place about distributing the
BDS in Middle Eastern countries such as Iraq, Saudi Arabia, United Arab
Emirates, Kuwait, Jordan, and Lebanon.
In
November 2008, MKG signed a Joint Venture and Distribution Agreement to form The
MacKay Distribution Limited (MKDL) for the European market. MKDL has since been
in extreme close negotiations with a major Spanish Medical Distribution Group
for Spain and Portugal. Since then, one demo unit was sent to the Spanish
company for testing purposes and both entities have agreed to roll out a BDS
road show within Spain during mid 2009 after the CE
re-certification. Pending CE re-certification, the Company
anticipates receiving orders for the BDS devices and sensors in late
2009.
The
MKG Master License
As
reported in and attached to its Form 8-K filed July 31, 2007, the Company signed
a master license agreement (the “Agreement”) with MKG. Pursuant
to the Agreement, the Company granted to MKG an exclusive (even to the Company),
sub licensable, royalty-bearing, worldwide license to make, have made, use,
import, offer for sale, and sell devices, sensors and other products or services
incorporating the Company’s patented and unpatented breast cancer detection
technology, including, but not limited to, the BDS, the Biofield Breast Cancer
Proliferation Detection System, the Breast Cancer Diagnostic Device, and the
Biofield Breast Examination or BBESM (collectively, the
“Technology”). The Company also granted MKG, on a worldwide basis,
the Exclusive Distribution, Manufacturing, Development, Clinical, and R&D
Rights (as those terms are defined in the Agreement) with regard to the
Technology. Under the Agreement, MKG assumes from the Company the sole
responsibility and expense to market, manufacture, further develop (clinically
and technically), and otherwise commercialize the Technology. MKG further
assumes from the Company the sole responsibility and expense to secure
additional regulatory approvals and to conduct additional clinical trials, as
well as research and development. MKG will also make commercially
reasonable efforts to, among other things, further develop the Technology for
screening, as opposed to purely diagnostic, purposes and for cancers other than
breast cancer .
MKG and
the Company have discussed transferring to the Company a majority interest in
the entity that holds the master license agreement. No agreement has been
reached pending resolution of the consideration to be paid to MKG and
satisfactory resolution of the tax, regulatory and other issues in the U.S. and
Asia.
Developments
in the U.S.
On
September 18, 2008, the board of directors of Biofield Corp., a Delaware
corporation ("Biofield") approved the execution of an Exclusive Distribution
Agreement with NeuroMed Devices, Inc., ("NeuroMed Devices") a Nevada corporation
with principal offices at Oakley, Utah and Laguna Niguel, California,
USA.
Under the
terms of the Exclusive Distribution Agreement, Biofield obtained exclusive
worldwide distribution rights to NeuroMed Devices’ OraCalm (for oral herpes) and
ViraCalm (for genital herpes) non-invasive medical devices for the treatment of
oral and genital herpes. During the three year term of the Exclusive
Distribution Agreement Biofield must meet certain performance minimums in order
to retain exclusivity. Biofield believes it will be able to meet these
performance minimums and extend the initial term of the Exclusive Distribution
Agreement prior to its expiration.
OraCalm
and ViraCalm devices employ non-invasive neuromodulation techniques.
Neuromodulation is a noninvasive treatment modality in which a unique
combination of electrical signals, frequencies and waveforms are transmitted to
higher centers in the brain using a patented mechanism. This unique technology
encourages the manufacture and secretion of brain neurochemicals using a
mechanism that cannot be simulated by drugs or conventional electrotherapy
devices.
Neuromodulation
technology relies on a sophisticated frequency pattern that uses carefully
calculated patterns of changing frequencies. The term Neuromodulation is used to
describe two very different treatment approaches, one invasive, the other
non-invasive.
Invasive
Neuromodulation - refers to the surgical implant of electrodes in the brain or
elsewhere in the body.
Non-Invasive
Neuromodulation - refers to the use of electrodes outside the body with no
surgery or implantation of any device within the body.
NeuroMed
Devices entered into the Exclusive Distribution Agreement with Biofield because
of Biofield’s access to Asian and other worldwide markets to commercialize these
two devices once the applicable regulatory approvals have been obtained.
NeuroMed Devices’ regulatory path for both devices will be to seek FDA approval.
"Over-the-Counter" approvals will also be sought so that a physician's
prescription will not be necessary for the purchase of these devices. In
addition to U.S. regulatory approvals, NeuroMed Devices plans to seek a CE Mark
for Europe, as well as regulatory approvals elsewhere worldwide. Currently,
regulatory approvals and intellectual property protection are in progress in
Hong Kong and the Peoples Republic of China via several mechanisms including the
China Counsel for Promotion of International Trade, the Chinese equivalent of
the FDA.
Patents
on the technology for both the Oral and Genital Herpes devices, and Method of
Treatment, were filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in
November 2000. The international filing date was November 2001. Patent
application No. 6,618,625, "Method and Apparatus for the Treatment of Viral
Diseases" was issued on Sept 9, 2003 (Silverstone, 2003). Publication date of
the continuance was September. 2004. The European patent # 1359971 was approved
on July 2006 and has been issued in FRANCE, GERMANY, ITALY, SPAIN and the UNITED
KINGDOM. The AUSTRALIAN patent application, # 2001298007, was issued on May 25,
2007. The INDIAN patent application, No. 624/KOLNP/03, was issued April 2, 2008.
NeuroMed Devices awaits results of patent applications elsewhere.
The long
term strategy and goal of the Company is to become a leading provider of
state-of-the-art medical and healthcare-related technology throughout the
world. The Company’s immediate goal is the distribution and
manufacture of the BDS in foreign markets and subsequently in the U.S. upon
securing U.S. FDA approval. The Company is also working with medical
experts in the U.S., Asia, the Middle East, and Europe on advanced medical and
healthcare-related technologies other than the BDS, which MKG can use its
government and industry relationships in Asia and elsewhere to distribute,
manufacture and further develop. While many of these other
technologies relate to women’s health and non-invasive technologies, other
technologies relate to fields such as hospital and data management, emergency or
triage management, diabetes, obesity, and childhood diseases and
care.
On the
BDS, the Company’s goal is to exploit MKG’s government, medical, distribution,
manufacturing and other relationships overseas to develop the BDS as a leading
breast cancer detection modality outside the U.S. The initial focus
is on China, India, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and
Mexico. The Company plans to extend its marketing efforts to other
parts of Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, and the Middle
East. With sales, acceptance and support from leading government,
medical, and industry representatives, clinical trial results, and further
research and development from those countries, the Company intends to reinitiate
efforts before the U.S. FDA to distribute the improved version of the BDS in the
U.S.
In order
to expand revenue generation activities, the Company has secured and intends to
explore other opportunities to acquire rights to distribute additional medical
products. On September 18, 2008, the Company entered into an
Exclusive Distribution Agreement with NeuroMed Devices, Inc. with principal
offices at Oakley, Utah and Laguna Niguel, California, USA. Biofield obtained
exclusive worldwide distribution rights to NeuroMed Device’s OraCalm (for oral
herpes) and ViraCalm (for genital herpes) non-invasive medical devices for the
treatment of oral and genital herpes. During the three year term of the
Exclusive Distribution Agreement Biofield must meet certain performance minimums
in order to retain exclusivity. Biofield believes it will be able to meet these
performance minimums and extend the initial term of the Exclusive Distribution
Agreement prior to its expiration. OraCalm and ViraCalm devices employ
non-invasive neuromodulation techniques. Neuromodulation is a noninvasive
treatment modality in which a unique combination of electrical signals,

We have
financed our operations since inception almost entirely by the issuance of our
securities, interest income on the then unutilized proceeds from these issuances
and with loans made directly, or guaranteed and collateralized, by Dr. David
Long and certain of his affiliates (until the MKG Acquisition) and by MKG (after
the MKG Acquisition).
At
December 31, 2009, we had a working capital deficiency of approximately $9.5
million, a slight decrease of $0.5 million from December 31, 2008. Our cash and
cash equivalents were $0 at December 31, 2009 and 2008.
At
December 31, 2009 and 2008, we had no value on the balance sheet for the
inventory, as a full reserve has been recorded.
During
2009, we had a net loss of approximately $935,000, compared to approximately
$11.1million for 2008, a decrease of approximately $10.2 million. The decrease
was primarily due to the Company’s issuance of $8,667,010 of common stock, in
lieu of cash compensation, to Directors and Officers, in efforts to update the
design of BDS device and sensors for distribution and manufacture in China, the
Philippines and other parts of Asia in the year ended December 31, 2008. During
the year ended December 31 2009, our net cash used in operating activities was
$318,736 as compared to $493,396 for the year ended December 31,
2008.
During
the year ended December 31, 2009, accounts payable and accrued expenses
decreased to approximately $3.7 million, from approximately $4.5 million at
December 31, 2008, a decrease of approximately $0.8 million or
18%. The decreases were primarily due reduction of general and
administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009.
During
the year ended December 31, 2009, we had depreciation and amortization in
connection with operating activities of $1,389, same for the year ended December
31, 2008.
Cash
Flows
Activities
During
2009, our operating activities utilized $318,736, which included a net loss of
$935,301, offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Our
financing activities provided $313,736. We had notes financing cost
of $80,839; proceeds from notes payable issued to stockholders and related party
in the amount of approximately $238,000..
During
2008, our operating activities utilized $493,396, which included a net loss of
$11,091,561 offset by the non-cash issuance of $8,667,010 in common stock, in
lieu of cash compensation, to Directors and Officers, in efforts to update the
design of BDS device and sensors for distribution and manufacture in China, the
Philippines and other parts of Asia. There were no investing activities during
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Our financing activities provided
$480,068. We had proceeds from issuance of notes payable
of $187,058, borrowings on line of credit of $76,740, as well as advances of
stockholder and related parties of $216,270.
While we
have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past,
additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash
flow deficits from operations and development. We are seeking
financing in the form of equity in order to provide the necessary working
capital. We are engaged in several discussions with significant
funders, although we currently have no commitments for
financing. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in
raising the funds required.
The
independent auditors report on our December 31, 2009 financial statements states
that our recurring losses raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue
as a going concern.
Comparison
of the Year Ended December 31, 2009 with the Year Ended December 31,
2008
In fiscal
year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 we had no revenue.
In fiscal
year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 we had no cost of sales.
In fiscal
year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 we had no gross profit.
We did
not incur any research and development expenses in 2009 or 2008.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased by $10,194,550 or 96.8%, to
$335,736 in 2009, from $10,530,286 in 2008. The decrease was largely
attributable to $8,667,010 worth of common stock issued, in lieu of cash
compensation, to Directors and Officers, in efforts to update the design of BDS
device and sensors for distribution and manufacture in China, the Philippines
and other parts of Asia, consulting expenses of new management and facilities;
consultants and professional expenses, as well as expenses related to
travel.
We had
net interest expense of $599,564 in 2009, compared to $561,275 in 2008, an
increase of $38,289, or 6.8%. This increase was the result of accrued interest
on higher loan balances in fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, when compared to
loan balances for the same period in 2008.
As a
result of the foregoing, we incurred a net loss of $935,301in 2009 compared to a
net loss of $11,091,561 in 2008, a decrease of $10,156,260, or
91.6%.
While we
have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past,
additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash
flow deficits from operations and development. We are seeking
financing in the form of equity in order to provide the necessary working
capital. We currently have no commitments for
financing. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in
raising the funds required.
By
adjusting its operations and development to the level of capitalization,
management believes it has sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash
flow deficits through the next 12 months. However, if thereafter, we are not
successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising
sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and
financial condition.
The
independent auditors report on our December 31, 2009 financial statements states
that our recurring losses raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue
as a going concern.
PRODUCT
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Material
research and development expenditures are expected during the next 12 months, as
the Company and MKG proceed to distribute and manufacture the BDS overseas,
further develop the BDS, and possibly reinitiate efforts before the U.S.
FDA. The Company and MKG have engaged and are working with the
original inventor of the BDS and his current company to help update the design
of the BDS, including the update of certain components of the BDS and for
screening purposes, so that the BDS can be distributed and possibly manufactured
in Asia. The Company and MKG are also working with its current sensor
manufacturer to update the design of the BDS sensors, including for screening
purposes. Under the master license agreement with MKG, much of the
expenses, with the exception of the efforts before the U.S. FDA, will be borne
on MKG or MKG’s sublicensees.
ACQUISITION
OR DISPOSITION OF PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Overseas
sales of an updated version of the BDS device and sensors are expected to occur
during the next 12 months, including in the Philippines and in China (from the
more than 500 Bio Centers are being opened throughout China by MKG and its
Chinese partners). We are also working to manufacture more devices
and sensors for prospective orders. The acquisition of significant
property, plant or equipment is also expected during the next 12 months, as MKG
and its sublicensee proceed to distribute and manufacture the BDS device and
sensors overseas and are working with the original inventor of the BDS device
and his company as well as its current sensor manufacturer to distribute and
manufacture the BDS device and sensor in China, the Philippines, and other parts
of Asia. Much of the expenses will be borne by MKG as the master
licensee or MKG’s sublicensees. MKG is working with the Company to best vend
back the master license agreement into the Company to maximize the return to the
Company of anticipated sales in China and the Philippines, and attorneys and a
leading accounting firm are considering tax, regulatory and other implications
in the U.S. and Asia.

ITEM
9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
An
evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of
the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based upon this review, management concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There
have been no significant changes in internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that occurred during the fiscal period covered by this report that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-5(f)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Our management assessed
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, our management used the
criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management
has concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, our internal control over financial
reporting is effective based on these criteria.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the
Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to
provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Limitations
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer,
does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal control over financial
reporting will prevent all errors or all instances of fraud. A
control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be
met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact
that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be
considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been
detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that
judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because
of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the
individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by
management override of the controls. The design of any system of
controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of
future events, and any design may not succeed in achieving its stated goals
under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of
compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent
limitation of a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or
fraud may occur and not be detected.
As
required by Rule 13a-15(d), the Company's Chairman and Chief Accounting Officer,
also conducted an evaluation of Biofield's internal controls over financial
reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the fourth fiscal
quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. During the
preparation of the Company's financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2008, the Company concluded that the then current system of
disclosure controls and procedures needed improvement, partly due to the
transition to new management, facilities, and auditors. As a result of this
conclusion, the Company initiated changes in internal control. It should be
noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can
provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in
part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future
events.

None of our directors would be considered to be independent. We do
not have an Audit Committee. Our prior Board of Directors adopted a Code of

SECTION
16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors, executive officers
and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the Company's Common
Stock, to file initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in
beneficial ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater
than ten percent beneficial owners are required by the SEC to furnish the
Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based
upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company and written
representations from the Company's executive officers and directors, the Company
believes that during fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 all Section 16(a)
filing requirements applicable to its executive officers, directors and greater
than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with on a timely basis, except
that David Bruce Hong, Shepard G. Bentley, Steven M. Waszak, and Shiva Sharareh,
PhD, failed to timely file Form 3s, was hired as the Chief Technology
Officer. The Company will assist in getting all required reports
timely filed in the future.
As set
forth below in Item 11, there is only one beneficiary owner, James MacKay, the
Company’s chairman of the board of directors, who holds 15,893,045 shares of
common stock or 29.29% of the Company’s total outstanding common stock,
12,300,000 shares of preferred stock, and approximately 51.96% of all of the
votes entitled to be cast by stockholders of the Company on a fully-diluted
basis (i.e., counting all outstanding options and warrants on an as-exercised
basis). None of the other directors or officers currently holds any
stock.
CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE
Our board

term is defined by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
Quotations ("NASDAQ"). See "Lack of Committees" for the NASDAQ definition of
"Independent Director."

(1) Reflects
dollar amount expensed by the company during applicable fiscal year for
financial statement reporting purposes pursuant to FAS 123R. FAS 123R requires
the company to determine the overall value of the options as of the date of
grant based upon the Black-Scholes method of valuation, and to then expense that
value over the service period over which the options become exercisable (vest).
As a general rule, for time-in-service-based options, the company will
immediately expense any option or portion thereof which is vested upon grant,
while expensing the balance on a pro rata basis over the remaining vesting term
of the option. For a description FAS 123 R and the assumptions used in
determining the value of the options under the Black-Scholes model of valuation,
see the notes to the financial statements included with this Form
10-K.
(2) Excludes
awards or earnings reported in preceding columns.
(3) Includes
all other compensation not reported in the preceding columns, including (i)
perquisites and other personal benefits, or property, unless the aggregate
amount of such compensation is less than $10,000; (ii) any "gross-ups" or other
amounts reimbursed during the fiscal year for the payment of taxes; (iii)
discounts from market price with respect to securities purchased from the
company except to the extent available generally to all security holders or to
all salaried employees; (iv) any amounts paid or accrued in connection with any
termination (including without limitation through retirement, resignation,
severance or constructive termination, including change of responsibilities) or
change in control; (v) contributions to vested and unvested defined contribution
plans; (vi) any insurance premiums paid by, or on behalf of, the company
relating to life insurance for the benefit of the director; (vii) any consulting

CHANGE
OF CONTROL
As set
forth above, on March 30, 2006, MKG took control of the Company and its
management, board, operations, and controlling interest.
As a
result of the debt conversion described above and in the Company’s Form 8-K
filed January 23, 2008, James MacKay became the holder of shares of the
Company’s capital stock entitling him to approximately 51.96% of all of the
votes entitled to be cast by stockholders of the Company on a fully-diluted
basis (i.e., counting all outstanding options and warrants on an as-exercised
basis).
On July
27, 2007, the Company signed a master license agreement (the “Agreement”) with
MKG. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company granted to MKG an exclusive (even to
the Company), sub licensable, royalty-bearing, worldwide license to make, have
made, use, import, offer for sale, and sell devices, sensors and other products
or services incorporating the Company’s patented and unpatented breast cancer
detection technology, including, but not limited to, the BDS device, the
Biofield Breast Cancer Proliferation Detection System, the Breast Cancer
Diagnostic Device, and the Biofield Breast Examination or
BBESM (collectively, the “Technology”). The Company also
granted MKG, on a worldwide basis, the Exclusive Distribution, Manufacturing,
Development, Clinical, and research and development rights (as those terms are
defined in the Agreement) with regard to the Technology. Under the Agreement,
MKG assumes from the Company the sole responsibility and expense to market,
manufacture, further develop (clinically and technically), and otherwise
commercialize the Technology. MKG further assumes from the Company the sole
responsibility and expense to secure additional regulatory approvals and to
conduct additional clinical trials and R&D.
In return
for the exclusive worldwide license, MKG will pay the Company royalties based on
gross receipts received by MKG and its affiliates in connection with the
Technology. MKG must pay minimum royalties. In addition to royalties, MKG will
pay the Company licensing fees based upon certain milestones. The term of the
Agreement is 10 years with automatic renewals for additional 10-year terms
unless terminated by one of the parties pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement.
ITEM
14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES.
The
following table sets forth fees billed to us by our independent accountants
during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 for: (i)
services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements and the
review of our quarterly financial statements, (ii) services rendered that are
reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial
statements and that are not reported as Audit Fees, (iii) services rendered in
connection with tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, and (iv) all other
fees for services rendered. "Audit Related Fees" consisted of
consulting fees regarding accounting issues. "All Other Fees" consisted of fees
related to this Annual Report. Since we have no audit committee, none
of these services were approved by an audit committee, and we have no
pre-approval policies or procedures.

Policy on
Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of
Independent Auditors
The
Company currently does not have a designated Audit Committee, and accordingly,
the Company's Board of Directors' policy is to pre-approve all audit and
permissible non-audit services provided by the independent
auditors. These services may include audit services, audit-related
services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided
for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service
or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The
independent auditors and management are required to periodically report to the
Company's Board of Directors regarding the extent of services provided by the
independent auditors in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the
services performed to date. The Board of Directors may also
pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis.
To The
Shareholders and Board of Directors of Biofield Corp.
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Biofield Corp. (a Development Stage
Company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of
operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the period from October 16, 1987 (inception)
through December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provided a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Biofield Corp. as of December 31,
2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the period from October 16, 1987
(inception) through December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
The
accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully
described in Note 1, the Company’s need to seek new sources or methods of
financing or revenue to pursue its business strategy, raise substantial doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. Management’s plans as to these matters are also described in
Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BIOFIELD
CORP.
(A
Development Stage Company)
NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION
Organization
Biofield
Corp. (the “Company”) has developed a highly proprietary system to assist in
detecting breast cancer. The procedure is non-invasive and radiation- and
compression-free. The procedure produces objective results within 20 minutes
without the need for interpretation by a radiologist. The Company’s
breast cancer diagnostic device, the Biofield Diagnostic System (“BDS”), employs
single-use sensors to measure and analyze changes in cellular electrical charge
distributions associated with the development of epithelial cancers, such as
breast cancer. The new prototype of the device is portable and the
size of a laptop computer. The sensors are similar in size to an EEG/
EKG sensor. The current system is a final complete product and has received CE
mark certification from the European regulatory authorities. The CE mark
certification, which permits companies to market in European
Union member countries, was received in connection with our
former facility in Alpharetta, Georgia. The Company is considering
other facilities which have already secured CE Mark
certification. The Company currently operates in the biomedical
device market segment.
Through
March 31, 2006, the Company’s focus and resources were primarily directed
towards securing approval of the BDS from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(“U.S. FDA”) to distribute in the U.S. The Company continued to incur
significant losses associated with these activities and generated little or no
sales. Subsequent to March 31, 2006, The MacKay Group (“MKG”) took
control of the Company’s management and operations (the “MKG Acquisition”).
Post-MKG Acquisition, the Company changed its primary focus towards penetrating
foreign markets with significant populations of women, where MKG had significant
industry and government contacts and relationships, where the need for the BDS
appeared compelling, and where the regulatory hurdles were not as burdensome.
The Company has secured or is working to secure significant government,
distribution, research and development and manufacture networks in the People’s
Republic of China, India, the Philippines and other parts of Asia, Mexico, Latin
America, the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. The
Company will continue its efforts to secure U.S. FDA approval. The Company
believes that the government and industry relationships, the possible
significant clinical data and research and development (especially as it may
pertain to screening and other cancers), and revenues it secures abroad will
facilitate its efforts to secure U.S. FDA approval in the future.
From
April 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006, the Company’s time, energies, and resources
were focused towards transitioning the Company from prior management to
MKG. This included the tasks of moving the Company’s facilities,
inventory, and operations from Alpharetta, Georgia to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
and transferring and reorganizing voluminous amounts of clinical and
technological data, and financial records. The Company has since
completed the move to a facility in King of Prussia,
Pennsylvania. With the transfer of vital financial and regulatory
records, the Company diligently proceeded during 2007 to bring all of its
Security and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings current. During the transition,
MKG successfully reduced approximately $2 million of the Company’s debt by
converting it to stock, and continues to work toward further debt
reduction.
In 2008,
the Company recommitted its efforts to secure CE mark certification for BDS,
recruited a new management team, opened an office in Hong Kong, in conjunction
with the Company’s controlling stockholder, MKG, opened a sales office in
Bangalore, India, moved its US offices from King of Prussia, Pennsylvania to
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and embarked on a strategy to assemble a portfolio
of medical technology products that can be distributed using
the same sales channels the Company intends to use to market the
BDS.
The
Company, as of December 31, 2009, is still considered to be in the development
stage.
The
financial statements are presented on the basis that the Company is a going
concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of these uncertainties. The Company has incurred
operating losses since its inception. This condition raises substantial doubt as
to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as such continuance is
dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise sufficient capital. Management’s
plans regarding these matters, with the objective of improving liquidity and
sustaining profitability in future years encompass the following:
|
|
Move
from a development stage entity to an operating
entity;
|
|
|
Settling
legacy outstanding obligations;
|
|
|
Continued
review of all expenditures in order to minimize
costs;
|
|
|
Raise
additional working capital as necessary;
and
|
|
|
Generate
revenue from foreign markets such as China and India where MKG has
significant government and industrial
relationships.
|
In the
absence of additional financing the Company may be unable to satisfy past due
obligations. Management believes that the actions presently being taken provide
the opportunity to improve liquidity and sustain profitability. However, there
are no assurances that management’s plans will be achieved. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Ultimately, the Company must
achieve profitable operations if it is to be a viable entity.
The
Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on capital stock and do
not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Estimates that are critical to the
accompanying financial statements arise from the determination of the fair value
of the Company’s investment. Because such determination involves subjective
judgment, it is at least reasonably possible that the Company’s estimates could
change in the near term with respect to this matter.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid debt securities purchased with original or
remaining maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The
carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Inventory
and Inventory Valuation Reserve
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined by the first-in, first-out
(FIFO) method, including provisions for obsolescence. Obsolescence is
based upon assumptions concerning future demand, market conditions and
anticipated timing of the release of next generation products. If
actual market conditions or future demand are less favorable than those
projected by management, or if next generation products are released earlier
than anticipated, additional inventory write-downs may be required.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Cash and
cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable
and accrued expenses, as reflected in the consolidated financial statements,
approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant
market information and information about the financial instrument. These
estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes
in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using
straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, principally
three to five years, or the term of the lease, if shorter, for leasehold
improvements. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as
incurred.
Patents
and Other Intangible Assets
The costs
of patents are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic
life, but not exceeding 17 years. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and
2008, we have no intangible assts.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company has adopted and follows the guidance provided in the SEC’s Staff
Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104 (“Topic 13 – Revenue Recognition”), which
provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in
the financial statements.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income
Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect
when the differences are expected to reverse. Due to the net loss incurred in
all periods, there is no provision for income taxes provided as a full valuation
allowance has been established.
UNCERTAIN
TAX POSITIONS
In July
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance codified
in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740-10-25 "Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes". ASC Topic 740-10-25 supersedes guidance codified
in ASC Topic 450, "Accounting for Contingencies", as it relates to income tax
liabilities and lowers the minimum threshold a tax position is required to meet
before being recognized in the financial statements from "probable" to "more
likely than not" (i.e., a likelihood of occurrence greater than fifty percent).
Under ASC Topic 740-10-25, the recognition threshold is met when an entity
concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more
likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing
authority. Those tax positions failing to qualify for initial recognition are
recognized in the first interim period in which they meet the more likely than
not standard, or are resolved through negotiation or litigation with the taxing
authority, or upon expiration of the statute of limitations. De-recognition of a
tax position that was previously recognized occurs when an entity subsequently
determines that a tax position no longer meets the more likely than not
threshold of being sustained.
The
Company is subject to ongoing tax exposures, examinations and assessments in
various jurisdictions. Accordingly, the Company may incur additional
tax expense based upon the outcomes of such matters. In addition, when
applicable, the Company will adjust tax expense to reflect the Company's ongoing
assessments of such matters which require judgment and can materially increase
or decrease its effective rate as well as impact operating results.
Under ASC
Topic 740-10-25, only the portion of the liability that is expected to be paid
within one year is classified as a current liability. As a result, liabilities
expected to be resolved without the payment of cash (e.g. resolution due to the
expiration of the statute of limitations) or are not expected to be paid within
one year are not classified as current. The Company has recently adopted a
policy of recording estimated interest and penalties as income tax expense and
tax credits as a reduction in income tax expense.
Management
believes that the Company does not have any significant uncertain tax positions
exist for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively and
considering its loss making history since inception. The Company has not made
any provision for federal and state income tax liabilities that may result from
this uncertainty as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Management
believes that this will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's
financial position, its results of operations and its cash flows.
The
number of years with open tax audits varies depending on the tax jurisdiction.
The Company's major taxing jurisdictions include the United States (including
applicable states). The Company's tax years for 2002 and forward are subject to
examination by the United States and applicable state tax authorities due to the
carry forward of unutilized net operating losses.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The
Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow,
market, or foreign currency risks.
The
Company reviews the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments that are
issued to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including
the embedded conversion option, that are required to be bifurcated and accounted
for separately as a derivative financial instrument. When the risks and rewards
of any embedded derivative instrument are not “clearly and closely” related to
the risks and rewards of the host instrument, the embedded derivative instrument
is generally required to be bifurcated and accounted for
separately.
The
conversion option has the risks and rewards associated with an equity
instrument, not a debt instrument, because its value is related to the value of
our common stock. Nonetheless, if the host instrument is considered to be
“conventional convertible debt” (or “conventional convertible preferred stock”),
bifurcation of the embedded conversion option is generally not required.
However, if the instrument is not considered to be conventional convertible debt
(or conventional convertible preferred stock), bifurcation of the embedded
conversion option may be required in certain circumstances. Generally, where the
ability to physical or net-share settle the conversion option is deemed to be
not within the control of the Company, the embedded conversion option is
required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative financial instrument
liability. The Company currently does not have any such instruments requiring
classification as a liability.
In
connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, the Company
may also issue freestanding options or warrants. Additionally, the Company may
issue options or warrants to non-employees in connection with consulting or
other services they provide. Although the terms of the options and warrants may
not provide for net-cash settlement, in certain circumstances, physical or
net-share settlement may be deemed to not be within the control of the Company
and, accordingly, the Company may be required to account for these freestanding
options and warrants as derivative financial instrument liabilities, rather than
as equity. The Company currently does not have any such instruments requiring
classification as a liability.
Derivative
financial instruments are required to be initially measured at their fair value.
For derivative financial instruments that shall be accounted for as liabilities,
the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then
re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as
charges or credits to income.
If the
embedded derivative instrument is to be bifurcated and accounted for as a
liability, the total proceeds received will be first allocated to the fair value
of the bifurcated derivative instrument. If freestanding options or warrants
were also issued and are to be accounted for as derivative instrument
liabilities (rather than as equity), the proceeds are next allocated to the fair
value of those instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated
to the convertible instrument itself, usually resulting in that instrument being
recorded at a discount from its face amount. In circumstances where a
freestanding derivative instrument is to be accounted for as an equity
instrument, the proceeds are allocated between the convertible instrument and
the derivative equity instrument, based on their relative fair
values.
During
2009 and 2008 none of the above mentioned convertible debt and equity
instruments were considered to be derivative instruments.
Warrants
The
Company issues warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock in conjunction
with debt and certain preferred stock issues. Warrants are accounted for in
accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Bulletin (“APB”) No. 14,
“Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants”
(“APB No.14”) and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-19, “Accounting for
Derivative Financial Instruments Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments
Indexed to or Potentially Settled in Indexed to or Potentially Settled in a
Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”). The fair value of warrants granted in
conjunction with debt and equity issuances is estimated on the grant date using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The value of warrants is separated from
the total consideration of each issue and included as an element of additional
paid-in capital.
Net
Loss Per Share
Basic and
diluted net losses per common share are presented in accordance with FASB ASC
260, “Earning Per Share,” for all periods presented. Stock subscriptions,
options and warrants have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss
per share for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, because all such
securities were anti-dilutive. The net loss per share is calculated by dividing
the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
periods.
Reclassification
Certain
amounts in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the
current year consolidated financial statements.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company has adopted FASB ASC 360 relative to “Impairment of Long-Lived Assets”,
which 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. FASB ASC 360 also requires that assets to be
disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value
less costs to sell.
Research and
Development
The
Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with theFASB
ASC, “Accounting for Research and Development Costs”. Accordingly, internal
research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party
research and developments 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. Total expenditures on research and product development
incurred for the period from October 16, 1987 (date of inception) to December
31, 2009 were $40,481,889. In 2009 and 2008 there were no additional
expenditures on research and product development.
Comprehensive
Income
FASB ASC
220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and displaying
of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated
balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in
equity, except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to
owners. Among other disclosures, FASB ASC 220 requires that all items that are
required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with
the same prominence as other financial statements.
Accounting
Standards Updates
In June
2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued its final
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, “The FASB
Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.”
SFAS No. 168 made the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the
Codification) the single source of U.S. GAAP used by nongovernmental
entities in the preparation of financial statements, except for rules and
interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under
authority of federal securities laws, which are sources of authoritative
accounting guidance for SEC registrants. The Codification is meant to simplify
user access to all authoritative accounting guidance by reorganizing
U.S. GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics within a
consistent structure; its purpose is not to create new accounting and reporting
guidance. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and
reporting standards and was effective for the Company beginning July 1,
2009. Following SFAS No. 168, the Board 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 (“ASU”). The FASB
will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right; these updates 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.
In August
2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05 which includes amendments to Subtopic 820-10,
“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Overall.” The update provides
clarification that in circumstances, in which a quoted price in an active market
for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to
measure fair value using one or more of the techniques provided for in this
update. The amendments in this ASU clarify that a reporting entity is not
required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to
the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability and
also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the
identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the
identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no
adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level one fair
value measurements. The guidance provided in this ASU is effective for the first
reporting period, including interim periods, beginning after
issuance. The adoption of this standard did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of
operations.
In
October 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic
605)-Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements,” which addresses the accounting
for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products
or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit.
Specifically, this guidance amends the criteria in Subtopic 605-25, “Revenue
Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements,” for separating consideration in
multiple-deliverable arrangements. This guidance establishes a selling price
hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on:
(a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c)
estimates. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and
requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the
arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method and also
requires expanded disclosures. The guidance in this update is effective
prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in
fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.
The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Other
ASUs, not effective until after December 31, 2009, are not expected to have
a significant effect on the Company’s financial position or results of
operations.
NOTE
3 – MATERIAL DEVELOPMENTS
The
March 30, 2006 MKG Acquisition
On March
30, 2006, MKG took control of the Company’s management and operations as a
result of a series of agreements. The explicit objective of the
agreements was to give MKG control of the Company’s management, board,
operations, and 51% of the Company’s common shares on a fully diluted
basis. The change of control was effectuated by way of, among other
things, stock acquisitions, debt conversion, and board changes. As of
the MKG Acquisition, all of the Company’s prior royalty, distribution,
employment, research and development, and consulting agreements had been or were
terminated.
MKG
acquired all of the Company’s common shares (8,747,528 shares) owned by the
Company’s former chairman and chief executive officer, Dr. David Long and his
family and affiliates, pursuant to a Stock Acquisition and Voting Agreement (the
“Long Agreement”) and a Stock Acquisition Agreement between MKG and the David
and Donna Long Family Foundation (the “Long Foundation
Agreement”). In total, MKG acquired approximately 17.49% of all
common shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis or approximately 20.6% of
all outstanding shares of common stock of the Company issued as of December 31,
2005 and 5,898,495 of those shares were subsequently assigned to
James MacKay as MKG’s designee in accordance with the Long Agreement and Long
Foundation Agreement.
Under the
Long Agreement, MKG agreed to take control of the Company’s management and
operations, fund the Company, help restructure the Company’s debt, and use its
government and industry contacts and relationships in Asia, Europe, and
elsewhere to distribute, manufacture, and develop the BDS in foreign
markets. Additionally, MKG agreed to give the Longs a royalty equal
to 1% of the Company’s net sales worldwide for three years commencing as of
March 31, 2006. MKG also entered into a three-year, $60,000 per year
consulting agreement with Dr. David Long or his nominee.
The
Debt Conversion
The Long
Agreement also provided for the reduction of $2 million of the Company’s debt
owed to Dr. David Long and his family and affiliates by way of an assignment of
this debt to MKG and the subsequent conversion of the debt into
stock.
Under the
Long Agreement, the Longs and their affiliates (“LFCG”) assigned approximately
$2 million (comprising principal and accrued interest) of the total debt (over
$4.3 million) owed them by the Company to MKG. MKG was entitled to
designate which portion of the total LFCG debt to assign. The
assigned debt was to be converted into stock of the Company at $0.05 per share
(the “Converted Shares”). Upon conversion, MKG retained a portion of the
Converted Shares so that, together with the shares MKG acquired from LFCG and
the David and Donna Long Family Foundation, MKG would then hold 51% of all the
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on a fully-diluted basis.
Any shares remaining of the Converted Shares not retained by MKG were to
be transferred to LFCG, provided that LFCG agreed to deliver a proxy with
respect to all voting rights associated with those remaining
shares. In addition, pursuant to the Long Agreement, to the extent
that any other debt owed to LFCG by the Company is converted into shares of
Common Stock, LFCG agreed to transfer 51% of such shares to MKG.
On April
3, 2006 MKG made a demand on the Company to effectuate the debt conversion,
designating certain portions of the total LFCG debt. Pursuant to the
Long Agreement, $499,728 of the assigned debt was authorized to be converted
into 9,994,550 pre-reverse stock split common shares and $1,230,000 of the
assigned debt into 12,300,000 shares of the voting Preferred stock of the
Company, with such shares to be issued to James MacKay as MKG’s designee.
Mr. MacKay is the principal of MKG and is Chairman of the Board of the
Company. All remaining portions of the assigned debt, classified on
the balance sheet as notes payable and not converted (e.g., $270,273), were
retained by MKG and are entitled to be converted at a later time. On
July 31, 2008, the Board of Directors reviewed all of the Company’s prospective
and contingent obligations to issue Common Stock and approved the issuance of
19,006,840 shares of Common Stock to James Mackay on July 31, 2008 to complete
the debt conversion pursuant to the Long Agreement. The 19,006,840
shares of Common Stock were believed by the Board of Directors to provide Mr.
Mackay with 51% of the outstanding equity after giving effect to all of the
Company’s prospective and contingent obligations to issue Common
Stock. As a result, the Long Debt was converted into a total of
19,006,840 shares of Common Stock (split adjusted) and 12,300,000 shares of
voting Preferred Stock, which are convertible into 2,460,000 shares of Common
Stock (split adjusted) and carry 2,460,000 votes. The preferred
shares were deemed to be issued during 2007 and the 9,994,550 pre-reverse stock
split common shares authorized to be converted were considered to be issuable as
of December 31, 2007.
On March
4, 2009, The Company issued 3,693,333 shares of common stock upon conversion of
$422,000 of debt
The
MKG Master License
On July
27, 2007, the Company signed a master license agreement (the “Agreement”) with
MKG. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company granted to MKG an exclusive (even to
the Company), sub licensable, royalty-bearing, worldwide license to make, have
made, use, import, offer for sale, and sell devices, sensors and other products
or services incorporating the Company’s patented and unpatented breast cancer
detection technology, including, but not limited to, the BDS device, the
Biofield Breast Cancer Proliferation Detection System, the Breast Cancer
Diagnostic Device, and the Biofield Breast Examination or BBESM
(collectively, the “Technology”). The Company also granted MKG, on a
worldwide basis, the Exclusive Distribution, Manufacturing, Development,
Clinical, and research and development rights (as those terms are defined in the
Agreement) with regard to the Technology. Under the Agreement, MKG assumes from
the Company the sole responsibility and expense to market, manufacture, further
develop (clinically and technically), and otherwise commercialize the
Technology. MKG further assumes from the Company the sole responsibility and
expense to secure additional regulatory approvals and to conduct additional
clinical trials and research and development.
In return
for the exclusive worldwide license, MKG will pay the Company royalties based on
gross receipts received by MKG and its affiliates in connection with the
Technology. MKG must pay minimum royalties. In addition to royalties, MKG will
pay the Company licensing fees based upon certain milestones. The term of the
Agreement is 10 years with automatic renewals for additional 10-year terms
unless terminated by one of the parties pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement.

NOTE
6 - PATENT AND PATENT APPLICATION COSTS
In
December 2005, during the Company’s annual review of the carrying values of
patents and trademarks, management determined that, due to increased uncertainty
in obtaining FDA’s approval to sell the Company’s device in the United States,
the recoverability of the carrying values of Patents and Trade Marks was in
doubt. Management was unable to determine and project future undiscounted cash
flows for these assets with reasonable accuracy due to the uncertainties.
Consequently, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $194,268 for the full
carrying value of these assets as a component of operating expenses in the
statement of operations as a separate line item.
There was
no amortization expense for patents for the years ended December 31, 2009 and
2008. Amortization expense from inception through December 31, 2009,
was $486,860.

affiliate of the Company’s former Chairman, CEO and principal shareholder, Dr.
David Long. The amount due to Abel Laboratories is related to various laboratory
expenses and, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, remained constant at
$329,686. Interest does not accrue on the amount due, there is no

NOTE
9 – ADVANCES FROM STOCKHOLDER
As of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had recorded $2,616,871 and $2,378,973,
respectively, for advances from stockholder.
The
Company’s operations from 2002 to the March 30, 2006 MKG Acquisition were
primarily funded through advances, among other funding vehicles, by its then
majority shareholder, chairman, and chief executive officer, Dr. David Long, and
his family and affiliates LFCG. As of December 31, 2005, the
Company’s overall debt to LFCG was approximately $4,425,853, of which $3,488,816
was recorded as advances from stockholder.
On March
30, 2006, to induce MKG to take control of the Company and to effectuate the
transfer to MKG of 51% of the Company’s stock on a fully diluted basis, LFCG
agreed to assign MKG approximately $2 million of the total debt owed to it by
the Company (the “Assigned Debt”). Under the MKG-LFCG Agreement, the Assigned
Debt was to be converted into stock of the Company at a conversion rate
commensurate to $0.05 per common share. On April 3, 2006, MKG made a demand on
the Company to effectuate the debt conversion.
The
advances bear interest at 10% per annum. In 2009 and 2008, the Company accrued
$237,898 and $239,220, respectfully, of interest for this account and has record
this amount in advances from stockholder. All interest accruing on
the advances from stockholder are payable to LFCG and total
$237,898. There is no maturity date for the advances from stockholder
and only $270,273, which is retained by MKG, is entitled to be converted to
stock at a later time. The remaining amount outstanding is still
assigned to LFCG.

discount).
NOTE
11 – LINE OF CREDIT
On
January 5, 2007 MKG agreed to advance additional funds to the Company under a
line of credit. Under the line of credit, monies advanced by MKG
would bear 12% simple annual interest. There was no maturity
date. MKG had the option to convert the principal and accrued
interest into stock at a share price equal to the lesser of: (a) the 70% of the
share price at the close of the market as of receipt of funds; or (b) the terms
extended by the Company to a funder making a total equity investment of at least
US $1 million or in connection with a merger/acquisition or change in control.

At
December 31, 2009, the Company had federal net operating loss carry-forwards
totaling approximately $86 million, which will begin expiring in years 2010
through 2028. However, substantially all of the net operating loss carry
forwards are not utilizable, as a result of the limitations imposed by Section
382 of the Internal Revenue Code, due to ownership changes in 1992, 1995, 1997,
1999 and 2006. To the extent that these losses and general business
credits are utilizable, they may be offset against future U.S. taxable income,
if any, during the carry forward period.

As a
condition precedent to MKG’s agreement to take control of the Company and as was
agreed upon and represented by the Company’s prior management and board, all
royalty agreements existing as of March 30, 2006, had either expired or had been
terminated or were since terminated.
As part
of the Long Agreement, LFCG was given a royalty of 1% of the net sales of the
Company’s products worldwide for a three-year period commencing as of March 30,
2006.
The
Company entered into a master license agreement with MKG giving MKG an exclusive
(even to the Company), sub licensable, royalty-bearing license to make, have
made, use, import, offer for sale, and sell devices, sensors, and other products
or services incorporating the Company’s technology. In return, MKG
agreed to pay the Company royalties based upon a gross receipts step scale. MKG
was further subject to a minimum royalty payment requirement. MKG also agreed to
pay the Company a licensing fee in accordance with certain milestone
requirements. The term of the Master License Agreement is 10 years, with
automatic renewals for additional 10-year terms, unless properly terminated in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
NOTE
16 – THE COMPANY COMPLETES ITS 1 FOR 10 REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF ITS COMMON
STOCK
On April
2, 2008, the Company filed a preliminary information statement (Schedule PRE
14C) with the SEC, reporting that on March 28, 2008 its board of directors (the
"Board") unanimously adopted a resolution seeking shareholder approval to amend
the Company's Articles of Incorporation to effect an 1 for 10 reverse split of
Biofield's Common Stock (the "Reverse Split"). On March 31, 2008,
a stockholder of the Company holding over a majority of the total voting
rights for all issued and outstanding shares of common and preferred stock of
the Company executed a written consent authorizing the Board to amend the
Company's Articles of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Split at any time
prior to March 31, 2009. The Board believed that the proposed Reverse
Split would benefit the Company by increasing the per share market price of its
common stock, a factor in whether the Common Stock meets investing guidelines
for certain institutional investors and investment funds, although there was no
assurance that the market price would increase. The SEC had 10 days from the
April 2, 2008 filing date to comment on the Information Statement. The Company
did not receive any comments on the Information Statement from the SEC within
the 10-day period; filed a definitive information statement (Schedule DEF 14C)
with the SEC on April 22, 2008; and mailed on April 23, 2008 the definitive
information statement to all shareholders of record as of April 1, 2008 (as
identified in the certified shareholder list received from the Company's
transfer agent). The Company filed on May 23, 2008 with the Secretary of State
for the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of
Incorporation in connection with the Reverse Split. NASDAQ OMX, Corporate Data
Operations subsequently approved the Reverse Split, advised the Company that the
Reverse Split would take effect on June 20, 2008. The Company's new symbol
assigned on that date is BZEC. The Company's new CUSIP number is
090591 603.
On June
20, 2008 the Company executed a 1 for 10 reverse split of its common stock.
Immediately prior to the stock split, there were 60 million shares authorized
and 55,137,486 shares issued and outstanding. Subsequent to the stock split,
there were 60 million shares authorized, 5,513,749 shares issued and
outstanding. Preferred shares were not affected by the reverse stock split.
Additionally, 19,279,751 shares of common stock were issued post reverse stock
split in the third quarter ended September 30, 2008, bring the total common
stock outstanding to 24,793,500.
