GUIDED THERAPEUTICS, INC. (FORMERLY SPECTRX, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 
1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
  
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X by Guided Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly SpectRx, Inc.), collectively with its wholly owned subsidiaries Interscan, Inc., (“Interscan”) (formerly Guided Therapeutics, Inc.) and Sterling Medivations, Inc. d/b/a SimpleChoice (“Sterling”), collectively referred to herein as the “Company.” Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These statements reflect adjustments, all of which are of a normal, recurring nature, and which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2010, results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full fiscal year. Preparing financial statements requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
The Company's prospects must be considered in light of the substantial risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by entrants into the medical device industry. This industry is characterized by an increasing number of participants, intense competition and a high failure rate. The Company has experienced net losses since its inception and, as of June 30, 2010, it had an accumulated deficit of approximately $77.5 million. Through June 30, 2010, the Company has devoted substantial resources to research and development efforts. The Company first generated revenue from product sales in 1998, but does not have significant experience in manufacturing, marketing or selling its products. The Company's development efforts may not result in commercially viable products and it may not be successful in introducing its products. Moreover, required regulatory clearances or approvals may not be obtained. The Company's products may not ever gain market acceptance and the Company may not ever achieve levels of revenue to sustain further development costs and support ongoing operations or achieve profitability. The development and commercialization of the Company's products will require substantial development, regulatory, sales and marketing, manufacturing and other expenditures. The Company expects operating losses to continue through the foreseeable future as it continues to expend substantial resources to complete development of its products, obtain regulatory clearances or approvals and conduct further research and development.

Going Concern

The Company's financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming it will continue as a going concern.  The factors below raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company believes it has made progress in stabilizing its financial situation by execution of multiyear contracts from Konica Minolta Optical, Inc. (“Konica Minolta”) and grants from the National Cancer Institute (“NCI”), while at the same time simplifying its capital structure and significantly reducing debt.

At June 30, 2010, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded current assets by approximately $2.6 million and it had a capital deficit due principally to its recurring losses from operations.  As of June 30, 2010, the Company was past due on payments due under its notes payable of approximately $479,000. These notes are unsecured and management is working on a payment arrangement with the holders.

 If sufficient capital cannot be raised at some point in the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company might be required to enter into unfavorable agreements or, if that is not possible, be unable to continue operations, and to the extent practicable, liquidate and/or file for bankruptcy protection. As of the date hereof, this effort is on-going. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Additional debt or equity financing will be required for the Company to continue its business activities. If additional funds do not become available, the Company has plans to curtail operations by reducing discretionary spending and staffing levels. If funds are not obtained, the Company will have to curtail its operations and attempt to operate by only pursuing activities for which it has external financial support, such as under the Konica Minolta development agreement and additional NCI or other grant funding, including matching-grant funding, if available.  However, there can be no assurance that such external financial support will be sufficient to maintain even limited operations or that the Company will be able to raise additional funds on acceptable terms, or at all.
 
 
 
 
F-4

 
 
 
Management intends to obtain additional funds through debt or equity financings and collaborative partnerships.  Management believes that such financing, expected to be obtained in 2010, along with funds from government contracts and grants, including matching-grant funding, if available, and other strategic partnerships will be sufficient to support planned operations through the first quarter of 2011, during which production of the Company’s cervical cancer detection device could be launched.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The Company’s significant accounting policies were set forth in the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009 included in its annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during 2010.
 
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATES

In October 2009, the FASB has published Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) No. 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.

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-12. “Income Taxes” (Topic 740). ASU No.2010-12 amends FASB Accounting Standard Codification subtopic 740-10 Income Taxes to include paragraph 740-10-S99-4. FASB Codification topic 740, Income Taxes, requires the measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets to be based on provisions of enacted tax law. The effects of future changes in tax laws are not anticipated. Therefore, the different enactment dates of the Act and reconciliation measure may affect registrants with a period-end that falls between March 23, 2010 (enactment date of the Act), and March 30, 2010 (enactment date of the reconciliation measure). However, the announcement states that the SEC would not object if such registrants were to account for the enactment of both the Act and the reconciliation measure in a period ending on or after March 23, 2010, but notes that the SEC staff “does not believe that it would be appropriate for registrants to analogize to this view in any other fact patterns.” The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-17. “Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method” (Topic 605) ASU No.2010-17 provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions. An entity often recognizes these milestone payments as revenue in their entirety upon achieving a specific result from the research or development efforts. A vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone in its entirety as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone meets all criteria to be considered substantive. Determining whether a milestone is substantive is a matter of judgment made at the inception of the arrangement. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. Entities can apply this guidance prospectively to milestones achieved after adoption. However, retrospective application to all prior periods is also permitted. The company will assess the impact of this pronouncement on an agreement by agreement basis for future agreements that may be impacted by this pronouncement.

Other ASUs that are effective after June 30, 2010, are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

3.    INVENTORIES BY TYPE
 
None
 
4.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
The Company records compensation expense related to options granted to non-employees based on the fair value of the award.
 
 
 
F-5

 
 

Compensation cost is recorded as earned for all unvested stock options outstanding at the beginning of the first year based upon the grant date fair value estimates, and for compensation cost for all share-based payments granted or modified subsequently, based on fair value estimates.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, share-based compensation for options attributable to employees, officers and directors was approximately $348,000 and has been included in the Company's statement of operations for the six-months period ended June 30, 2010.  Compensation costs for stock options, which vest over time, are recognized over the vesting period. If the option vests based on a condition, the timing of the condition is estimated to determine the vesting period. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $460,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to granted stock options, to be recognized over the remaining vesting period of approximately three years.
 
The Company has a 1995 stock option plan (the “Plan”) approved by its stockholders for officers, directors and key employees of the Company and consultants to the Company.  Participants are eligible to receive incentive and/or nonqualified stock options.  The aggregate number of shares that may be granted under the Plan is 8,255,219 shares.  The Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors.  The selection of participants, grant of options, determination of price and other conditions relating to the exercise of options are determined by the compensation committee of the board of directors and administered in accordance with the Plan.
 
Both incentive stock options and non-qualified options granted to employees, officers and directors under the Plan are exercisable for a period of up to 10 years from the date of grant, at an exercise price that is not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant.  The options typically vest in installments of 1/48 of the options outstanding every month.
 
A summary of the Company’s activity under the Plan as of June 30, 2010 and changes during the six months then ended is as follows:

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model.  Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the expected term, expected volatility of the Company’s stock, the risk free interest rate, option forfeiture rates, and dividends, if any.  The expected term of the options is based upon the historical term until exercise or expiration of all granted options.  The expected volatility is derived from the historical volatility of the Company’s stock on the U.S. over the counter market for a period that matches the expected term of the option.  The risk-free interest rate is the constant maturity rate published by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board that corresponds to the expected term of the option.

5.     LITIGATION AND CLAIMS

The Company had been subject to certain asserted and threatened claims, against certain intellectual property rights owned and licensed by the Company. A successful claim against intellectual property rights owned or licensed by the Company could subject the Company to significant liabilities to third parties, require the Company to seek licenses from third parties, or prevent the Company from selling its products in certain markets or at all. In the opinion of management based upon advice from counsel, there are no known claims against the Company’s owned or licensed intellectual property rights that will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. As at June 30, 2010 there is no legal claim or dispute about the IP’s of the Company.

In addition, from time to time, the Company may be involved in various other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the disposition of these additional matters which may occur, individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. However, depending on the amount and timing of such disposition, an unfavorable resolution of some or all of these matters could materially affect the future results of operations or cash flows in a particular period.

6.     STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Common Stock

The Company has authorized 100.0 million shares of common stock with $0.001 par value, 42,237,381 of which were issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2010.

On October 25, 2007, the Company’s stockholders approved a reverse stock split in a ratio ranging from one-for-two to one-for-ten of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The final ratio to be determined within the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. As of the filing date of this report, no reverse stock split had taken place.
 
Preferred Stock
 
The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a $.001 par value. The board of directors has the authority to issue these shares and to set dividends, voting and conversion rights, redemption provisions, liquidation preferences, and other rights and restrictions.

              Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

The board of directors designated 525,000 shares of the preferred stock as redeemable convertible preferred stock, none of which remain outstanding.

            Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

The board of directors designated 242,576 shares of the preferred stock as series A convertible preferred stock. On February 26, 2010, the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended to reclassify the series A convertible preferred stock into common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock, and therefore all of the then-outstanding 242,576 shares of series A convertible preferred stock and accrued dividends were reclassified into 8,084,139 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 2,799,327 shares of common stock.

On the date of issuance, the warrants were recorded at their fair value as determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model.  The Company issued the warrants for the purpose of inducing conversion, or “reclassification,” of the series A preferred stock into common stock.

The consideration expense associated with the warrants was treated as a preferred dividend and deducted from retained earnings. The dividend, which is the excess of (1) the fair value of all securities and other consideration (the warrants and common stock) transferred by the Company to the holders of the series A preferred stock over (2) the fair value of securities issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms (the common stock), has been subtracted from net income to arrive at net income available to common stockholders in the calculation of earnings per share in the first quarter of 2010. Since the series A preferred stockholders received the same number of shares of common stock in the reclassification into which the series A preferred stock were contractually convertible, the excess value was attributed solely to the warrants.

We have determined the value of the inducement warrants, using a Black-Scholes calculation as follows:

In accordance with the loan agreement governing the then-outstanding outstanding 2007 Notes, and as a result of the reclassification of the series A preferred stock, on February 26, 2010, the then-outstanding 2007 Notes were converted into 14 million shares of common stock.

The only cash settlements related to the conversion of the 2007 Notes were for fractional shares issued upon conversion.

Stock Options

Under the Company’s 1995 Stock Plan (the “Plan”), a total of 2,313,476 shares remained available at June 30, 2010 and 5,941,743 shares were subject to stock options outstanding as of that date, bringing the total number of shares subject to stock options outstanding and those remaining available for issue to 8,255,219 shares of common stock as of June 30, 2010.  The Plan allows the issuance of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, and stock purchase rights. The exercise price of options is determined by the Company’s board of directors, but incentive stock options must be granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date. Options historically granted have generally become exercisable over four years and expire ten years from the date of grant.

7.     LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
 
Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders amounts are computed by dividing the net loss plus preferred stock dividends and deemed dividends by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
 
8.     NOTES PAYABLE
 
On November 3, 2009, the Company, with approval of the requisite holders of its 2007 Notes, amended the 2007 Loan Agreement to provide for automatic conversion of the 2007 Notes into shares of common stock upon the reclassification of the Company’s series A preferred stock into common stock and warrants. On February 26, 2010, the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended to reclassify the series A convertible preferred stock into common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock.  Upon this reclassification, approximately $9.1 million in outstanding 2007 Notes was automatically converted into 14 million shares of common stock.

Historical Details of the 2007 Convertible Notes

The 2007 Notes were a senior secured obligation of the Company and were secured by (a) a first in priority lien on all of the Company’s assets; (b) a guaranty by Sterling; (c) a lien on all of Sterling’s assets; and (d) a pledge on all issued and outstanding stock of Sterling and InterScan, except for the sale of the Company’s SimpleChoice business unit and related intellectual property. 

The loan agreement governing the 2007 Notes provides certain registration rights that remain in effect with respect to the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the warrants issued in conjunction with the 2007 Notes. The penalty for the late registration of the underlying common stock, related to the warrants as outlined in the agreement, is calculated as 1/90th of 1% for each late day.

Of the proceeds from the original issuance of the 2007 Notes, approximately $1.9 million was used to convert debt from the previous loans into 2007 Notes, and approximately $1.2 million was used to retire debt from the previous loans.

Short Term Notes payable

At December 31, 2009, the Company maintained a Line of Credit (“LOC”) in the amount of $75,000 with Pacific International Bank of Seattle, Washington. This LOC was converted to a 36 months straight line amortizing loan on February 24, 2010, with monthly principal and interest payment of $2,333 per month. At June 30, 2010 the balance on the loan with Pacific International Bank of Seattle was approximately $67,000.

Notes Payable – Past Due

On March 1, 2007, the Company issued four short-term unsecured promissory notes as payment for all amounts due under a bridge loan agreement as follows:  one in the amount of $53,049, to replace an original note (principal and interest), issued on September 22, 2006; two in the amount of $106,367 each, to replace the two original notes issued on September 15, 2006, and one in the amount of $158,860 to replace an original note issued on September 15, 2006. The notes matured on April 11, 2007 and contain an obligation to issue a total of warrants to purchase 169,857 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.65 per share.  The fair value of these warrants was approximately $64,000 at March 31, 2007.  This amount has been expensed in the Company’s statement of operations for the period then ended March 31, 2007.  On August 28, 2009, one of the notes, in the amount of $169,857 plus accrued interest, was converted to the Company’s common stock at $0.65. Total common shares issued in conjunction of the loan settlement were 339,534.  An additional extension is currently being negotiated with the other lenders. Warrants have been issued; however, the notes are past due. These notes are unsecured and management is working on a payment arrangement with the holders.

Furthermore, InterScan, our wholly owned subsidiary entered into an agreement with a third party investor who paid $104,000 in certain Intellectual Property (IP) royalty payment on behalf of InterScan.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Statements in this report which express "belief," "anticipation" or "expectation," as well as other statements which are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or anticipated results, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" below and elsewhere in this report. Examples of these uncertainties and risks include, but are not limited to:
 
 
·
access to sufficient debt or equity capital to meet our operating and financial needs;
 
·
the effectiveness and ultimate market acceptance of our products;
 
·
whether our products in development will prove safe, feasible and effective;
 
·
whether and when we or any potential strategic partners will obtain approval from the U.S FDA and corresponding foreign agencies;
 
·
our need to achieve manufacturing scale-up in a timely manner, and our need to provide for the efficient manufacturing of sufficient quantities of our products;
 
·
the lack of immediate alternate sources of supply for some critical components of our products;
 
·
our patent and intellectual property position;
 
·
the need to fully develop the marketing, distribution, customer service and technical support and other functions critical to the success of our product lines; and
 
·
the dependence on potential strategic partners or outside investors for funding, development assistance, clinical trials, distribution and marketing of some of our products.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

OVERVIEW

We were incorporated on October 27, 1992 under the name of SpectRx, Inc. The company name was changed to Guided Therapeutics, Inc. in December 2007.  Since the company’s inception, we have raised capital through the sale of preferred stock, issuance of debt securities, public and private sales of common stock, funding from collaborative arrangements and sales of assets. Following our initial funding in early 1993, we began research and development activities with the objective of commercializing less invasive diagnostic, screening and monitoring products.

We have a limited operating history upon which our prospects can be evaluated. Our prospects must be considered in light of the substantial risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by entrants into the medical device industry. This industry is characterized by an increasing number of participants, intense competition and a high failure rate. We have experienced operating losses since our inception and, as of June 30, 2010, we have an accumulated deficit of about $77.5 million. To date, we have engaged primarily in research and development efforts. We first generated revenues from product sales in 1998, but do not have significant experience in manufacturing, marketing or selling our products. Our development efforts may not result in commercially viable products and we may not be successful in introducing our products. Moreover, required regulatory clearances or approvals may not be obtained in a timely manner, or at all. Our products may not ever gain market acceptance and we may not ever generate significant revenues or achieve profitability. The development and commercialization of our products will require substantial development, regulatory, sales and marketing, manufacturing and other expenditures. We expect our operating losses to continue through at least the end of 2010 as we continue to expend substantial resources to introduce our cervical cancer detection product, further the development of our other products, obtain regulatory clearances or approvals, build our marketing, sales, manufacturing and finance organizations and conduct further research and development.

If sufficient capital cannot be raised at some point in the fourth quarter of 2010, we might be required to enter into unfavorable agreements or, if that is not possible, be unable to continue operations, and to the extent practicable, liquidate and/or file for bankruptcy protection. As of the date hereof, this effort is on-going. These factors raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. Additional debt or equity financing will be required for us to continue our business activities. If additional funds do not become available, we have plans to curtail operations by reducing discretionary spending and staffing levels. If funds are not obtained, we will have to curtail our operations and attempt to operate by only pursuing activities for which we have external financial support, such as pursuant to our agreements with Konica Minolta and through additional NCI or other grant funding, including matching-grant funding, if available.  However, there can be no assurance that such external financial support will be sufficient to maintain even limited operations or that we will be able to raise additional funds on acceptable terms, or at all.
 
 
 
 
11

 

 
Our product revenues to date have been limited.  For 2009, a majority of our revenues came from our Konica Minolta contract revenue.  We expect that the majority of our revenue in 2010 will be derived from research contract revenue.  Our other products for cancer detection are still in development.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our material accounting policies, which we believe are the most critical to an investor understands of our financial results and condition, are discussed below. Because we are still early in our enterprise development, the number of these policies requiring explanation is limited. As we begin to generate increased revenue from different sources, we expect that the number of applicable policies and complexity of the judgments required will increase.

Currently, our policies that could require critical management judgment are in the areas of revenue recognition, reserves for accounts receivable and inventory valuation.

Revenue Recognition:  We recognize revenue from sales of products or services upon shipment of products or when services are rendered. We also recognize milestone revenue from collaborative partners when a milestone has been accomplished or when we, and our partner, agree that a milestone has been reached.  Service revenues are considered to have been earned when we have substantially accomplished what we must do to be entitled to the benefits represented by the service revenues. Accordingly, we record revenue from service contracts where the service is completed and the customer is invoiced in accordance with the terms of a written, duly executed service contract or purchase order. We also have arrangements to use our intellectual property, which is accounted for systematically over the term of the arrangement.
 
Valuation of Deferred Taxes:  The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred assets and liabilities are recognized based upon anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company establishes a valuation allowance to the extent that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be utilized against future taxable income.
 
Valuation of Equity Instruments Granted To Employee, Service Providers and Investors: On the date of issuance, the instruments are recorded at their fair value as determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
 
Allowance for Accounts Receivable:  We estimate losses from the inability of our customers to make required payments and periodically review the payment history of each of our customers, as well as their financial condition, and revise our reserves as a result.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2010 AND 2009

Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $559,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009.
 
Operating loss was approximately $531,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to an operating loss of approximately $522,000, for the same period in 2009.

Revenue:  Net revenue increased to $805,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $242,000 for the same period in 2009. Net revenue was higher for the three months ended June 30, 2010 than the comparable period in 2009, due to the increase in revenue from contracts relating to our cervical cancer detection technology.

Research and Development Expenses:  Research and development expenses increased to approximately $490,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $339,000 for the same period in 2009.  The increase, of approximately $151,000, was primarily due to an increase in  expenses for research and development of the cervical cancer detection products.

Sales and Marketing Expenses:  Sales and marketing expenses were approximately $44,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $14,000 for the same period in 2009. The increase, of approximately $30,000, was primarily due to an increase in expenses relating to marketing efforts for the cervical cancer detection products in development.
 
General and Administrative Expenses:  General and administrative expenses increased to approximately $802,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $411,000 for the same period in 2009. The increase is primarily related to a significant increase in operating activities with new hiring during the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Interest Expense: Interest expense decreased to approximately $28,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to expense of approximately $864,000 for the same period in 2009. The significant  decrease is primarily due to the February 26, 2010 conversion of indebtness into common stock (see Note 8 to the financial statements accompanying this report), as well as a decrease in interest expense on lower loan balance for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2010 AND 2009

Revenue:  Net revenue increased to approximately $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from approximately $423,000 for the same period in 2009. Net revenue was higher for the six months ended June 30, 2010 than for the comparable period in 2009, due to the increase in revenue from contracts relating to our cancer detection technology.

Research and Development Expenses:  Research and development expenses increased to approximately $897,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $643,000 for the same period in 2009.  The increase, of approximately $254,000, due to an increase in expenses for research and development of the cervical cancer detection products.

Sales and Marketing Expenses:  Sales and marketing expenses were approximately $78,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $28,000 for the same period in 2009.

General and Administrative Expenses:  General and administrative expenses increased to approximately $1.3 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to approximately $875,000 for the same period in 2009.  The increase of approximately $404,000, or 46.17%, is primarily related to an increase in professional fees, relating to our products under development.

Interest Expense:  Interest expense decreased to approximately $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to approximately $1.6 million for the same period in 2009.  The decrease is primarily due to the February 26, 2010 conversion of indebtness into common stock (see Note 8 to the financial statements accompanying this report ), for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
 
Preferred Stock Dividends: There was approximately $1.7 million of deemed dividends expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010, resulting from the conversion of the series A preferred stock into common shares and warrants (see Note 8). For the same period in 2009, there was approximately $120,000,  dividend expense.

Net loss was approximately $1.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 2009.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders was approximately $3.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholder of approximately $2.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
 
 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have financed our operations since inception primarily through private sales of debt and private and public sales of our equity securities.  At June 30, 2010, we had approximately $373,000 in cash and negative working capital of approximately $2.6 million.

Our major cash flows in the six months ended June 30, 2010, consisted of cash in-flows of approximately $147,000 from operations (including approximately $1.9 million of net loss) and cash utilized in investing activities of approximately $97,000, offset in part by cash provided by financing activities of $93,000 due to proceeds received from issuance of new notes payable less loan repayments.

On March 12, 2007, we completed a restructuring of our then-existing indebtedness by entering into a loan agreement with existing and new creditors. Pursuant to the loan agreement, our then-existing indebtedness was restructured and consolidated into the 2007 Notes.  The aggregate principal amount of the originally issued 2007 Notes was approximately $4.8 million and was due on March 1, 2010. On February 26, 2010, these 2007 Notes plus accrued interest were converted into common stock (see details below).

On December 1, 2008, we entered into a note purchase agreement with 28 existing and new lenders, pursuant to which we issued approximately $2.3 million in aggregate principal amount of 2008 notes and warrants exercisable for 11,558,878 shares of common stock. Approximately $1.3 million of the proceeds from the issuance of the 2008 notes was used to convert existing debt into 2008 notes, including conversion of an unsecured note issued to Dolores Maloof on April 10, 2008 in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000, plus interest, as well as notes issued under the note purchase agreement, dated between May 23 and July 7, 2008, in aggregate principal amount of $625,000, plus interest, held by John E. Imhoff and eleven other designated investors.  The remaining funds were used in product development, working capital and other corporate purposes.

On August 31, 2009, we issued an aggregate of $3.6 million in 2007 Notes in exchange for the extinguishment of an equal amount of debt represented by the 2008 notes and the other outstanding notes issued after the 2007 Notes.  

In October of 2009, the loan agreement governing the 2007 Notes was further amended to provide for automatic conversion of the 2007 Notes into a number of shares of common stock equal to the outstanding amounts being so converted divided by the then-current conversion price of $0.65, to be triggered upon a reclassification of our series A convertible preferred stock into common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock.

On February 1, 2010, we entered into an agreement with Konica Minolta to co-develop new, non-invasive cancer development products.  Pursuant to the agreement, we will receive approximately $1.6 million over a one-year term, in addition to pre-existing option-to-license payments we already received from Konica Minolta, in exchange for Konica Minolta’s right to purchase prototype devices and to rely on us to establish the technical approach and regulatory strategy for potential entry of the new products into the U.S. and international markets.  The new products are for the detection of esophageal and lung cancer, and are based on our LightTouch™ non-invasive cervical cancer detection technology, which will be undergoing the US Food and Drug Administration’s premarket approval process.  We have received approximately $1.6 million since 2008 from Konica Minolta pursuant to various co-development agreements similar to the current agreement, as well as noshop agreements.

On February 26, 2010, we amended our certificate of incorporation to reclassify our series A convertible preferred stock into common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock.  As a result, all 242,576 outstanding shares of series A convertible preferred stock and accrued dividends were reclassified into 8,084,139 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 2,799,327 shares of common stock.  Upon this reclassification, the $9.1 million in outstanding 2007 Notes and accrued interest were automatically converted into 14 million shares of common stock.
 
On April 27, 2010, we executed an agreement to extend our license agreement with Konica Minolta to co-develop non-invasive cancer detection products for one year.  KMOT will pay us a $750,000 fee for the extension.  Additionally, the agreement provides for a subsequent one-year renewal upon the written agreement of the parties.  The original agreement was a one-year exclusive negotiation and development agreement of optimization of our microporation system for manufacturing,  regulatory approval, commercialization and clinical utility, which we and KMOT entered into in April 2009.  We initially received $750,000 under this agreement.
 
We will be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing, additional collaborative relationships or other arrangements in addition to these sources. We believe our existing and available capital resources will be sufficient to satisfy our funding requirements through the fourth quarter of 2010, excluding any amounts due on redeemable convertible preferred stock, although we need to secure a collaborative partner to move forward with our continuous glucose program and will need additional funding to complete our pivotal trials for our cervical cancer detection product in a timely fashion.  We are evaluating various options to further reduce our cash requirements to operate at a reduced rate, as well as options to raise additional funds, including loans using certain assets as collateral.

Substantial capital will be required to develop our products, including completing product testing and clinical trials, obtaining all required United States and foreign regulatory approvals and clearances, and commencing and scaling up manufacturing and marketing our products. Any failure to obtain capital would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming it will continue as a going concern.  The above factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, as more fully discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained herein and in the report of our independent registered public accounting firm accompanying our financial statements contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements, no special purpose entities, and no activities that include non-exchange-traded contracts accounted for at fair value.

ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will uncover or detect failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.
 
Under the supervision of, and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report, and, based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2010, due to the existence of previously disclosed material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting primarily related to inadequate resources in our accounting and financial reporting group, that we have yet to fully remediate.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
