NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements follows:

General

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of NewCardio, Inc., (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations (S-X) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  The results from operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2010. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 2009  financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's SEC Form 10-K.
 
Basis of presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, including NewCardio Technologies, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary (“NewCardio Technologies”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in September 2004 and is in the development stage, as defined by Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 915-10, Development Stage Entities ("ASC 915-10") with its efforts principally devoted to developing cardiac diagnostics tools and equipment in the United States and Europe. To date, the Company, has generated minimal sales revenues, has incurred expenses and has sustained losses.  Consequently, its operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise.  For the period from inception through September 30, 2010, the Company has a deficit accumulated during development stage of $39,215,289.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

ASC 605-10 incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arraignments (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing 605-25 on the Company's financial position and results of operations was not significant.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash to consist of cash on hand and investments having an original maturity of 90 days or less that are readily convertible into cash. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had $1,005,320 in cash.

Commitment Fees
 
The Company amortizes commitment fees paid in connection with establishment of a credit facility are ratably over the term of the credit facility commitment. (See note 4)

Fair Values

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”).  ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and enhances fair value measurement disclosure. (See note 9)

Short Term Investments
 
Short-term investment consists of a bank certificate of deposit that matures within the next 12 months.

Accounts Receivable
 
Trade receivables are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thus trade receivables do not bear interest. Trade accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition.

As of September 30, 2010, two customers represented 100% of the Company’s accounts receivable. There were no outstanding accounts receivable at December 31, 2009.

NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and the current status of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired. As of September 30, 2010, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded, as all of the Company’s receivables were considered collectible.
 
Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For financial statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years.

Intangibles and Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company follows FASB ASC 360-10-15-3, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets,” which established a “primary asset” approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used.  Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset.  Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.  
 
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually. The Company’s intangible assets with finite lives are patent costs, which are be amortized over their economic or legal life, whichever is shorter.
 
Income Taxes

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant.

Loss per Common Share, basic and diluted

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”) specifying the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic loss per share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Stock options and warrants have been excluded as common stock equivalents in the diluted loss per share because there effect is anti-dilutive on the computation. Fully diluted shares outstanding were 51,294,164 and 49,298,878 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively; and 54,208,653 and 47,968,199 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which requires all share-based payments to employees), including grants of employee stock options be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.  

The Company granted equity based compensation over the years to employees of the Company under its equity plans. The Company granted non-qualified stock options to purchase 1,100,000 and 175,000 shares of common stock during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, to employees and directors of the Company under the 2009 Equity Compensation Plan and the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan as well as 116,614 and 1,470,000 restricted stock units during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, under the 2009 Equity Compensation Plan. (See note 8)

As of September 30, 2010, there were outstanding employee stock options to purchase 7,686,244 shares of common stock, 4,661,842 shares of which were vested.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions.  At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
 
\The Company’s revenues earned from sale of products and services for the three months periods ended September 30, 2010 included an aggregate of 70.6% from one customer of the Company’s total revenues.  

The Company’s revenues earned from sale of products and services for the nine months periods ended September 30, 2010 included an aggregate of 86.2% from two customers of the Company’s total revenues.

NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
Reliance on Key Personnel and Consultants
 
The Company has only 11 full-time employees and no part-time employees.  Additionally, there are approximately 15 consultants performing various specialized services.  The Company is heavily dependent on the continued active participation of these current executive officers, employees and key consultants. The loss of any of the senior management or key consultants could significantly and negatively impact the business until adequate replacements can be identified and put in place.
 
Research and Development

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $748,401 and $2,674,089 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010; $796,168 and $2,338,589 for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and  $9,007,193 from September 7, 2004 (date of inception) through September 30, 2010, respectively. 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying amount reported in the consolidated condensed balance sheets for accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and put liability approximates fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amount reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for line of credit approximates fair value because the actual interest rates do not significantly differ from current rates offered for instruments with similar characteristics.
 
We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. Cash, short term investment, warrants and reset derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), we group our assets at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Recent accounting pronouncements
 
In April 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-17 (ASU 2010-17), Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition.  The amendments in this Update are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.  If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year, the entity should apply the amendments retrospectively from the beginning of the year of adoption.  The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-17 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In March 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, under ASC Topic 605 on Revenue Recognition.  This standard provides that the milestone method is a valid application of the proportional performance model for revenue recognition if the milestones are substantive and there is substantive uncertainty about whether the milestones will be achieved.  Determining whether a milestone is substantive requires judgment that should be made at the inception of the arrangement.  To meet the definition of a substantive milestone, the consideration earned by achieving the milestone (1) would have to be commensurate with either the level of effort required to achieve the milestone or the enhancement in the value of the item delivered, (2) would have to relate solely to past performance, and (3) should be reasonable relative to all deliverables and payment terms in the arrangement.  No bifurcation of an individual milestone is allowed and there can be more than one milestone in an arrangement.  The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, which updates the guidance in ASC 855, Subsequent Events, such that companies that file with the SEC will no longer be required to indicate the date through which they have analyzed subsequent events. This updated guidance became effective immediately upon issuance and was adopted as of the first quarter of 2010.

In January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-06 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“2010-06”). 2010-06 requires new disclosures regarding significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and disclosures regarding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, on a gross basis, for Level 3 fair value measurements. 2010-06 also calls for further disaggregation of all assets and liabilities based on line items shown in the statement of financial position. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating whether adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

There were various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN MATTERS

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements during nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company incurred net losses attributable to common shareholders of $8,284,929, incurred net losses attributable to common shareholders of $40,753,627 from its inception on September 7, 2004 through September 30, 2010 and used $15,455,626 in cash for operating activities from its inception through September 30, 2010. These factors among others may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
 
The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and to obtain additional funding sources. Management is devoting substantially all of its efforts to the commercialization of its initial product solution, as well as raising additional debt or equity financing in order to accelerate the development and commercialization of additional products based on the Company’s 3-D platform technology.  The Company is continuing to explore potential strategic relationships to provide capital and other resources for the further development and marketing of its products.  The Company has obtained credit facilities from certain of its investors to support its operations and has also implemented expense management measures. There can be no assurance that the Company’s commercialization or financing efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company’s liquidity problems. The accompanying statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
NOTE 3 – PUT LIABILITY

In connection with the exercise of J warrants in December 2008, the Company agreed to re-acquire 1,896 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (Put Option) for a sum of $800,280 (net $744,280). This Put option, as amended, would have allowed the holder this option for 30 days after June 30, 2010.  When the option expired, the $744,280 net put liability was reclassified to stockholders’ deficit.   

NOTE 4 – CREDIT FACILITIES

On July 30, 2009, the Company entered into a $3 million credit line arrangement (the “Credit Line”), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”), with purchasers signatory to the SPA, pursuant to which the purchasers will purchase 12% Secured Revolving Debentures Due September 30, 2011, as amended, and, in connection therewith, (x) was issued 750,000 five year common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $0.01 per share, and (y) was issued a total of 3 million five year common stock purchase warrants exercisable at a price equal to 100% of the average volume weighted average prices (VWAPs) for the prior five trading days upon each draw down under the Credit Line, for each $1.00 advanced under the Credit Line, (the “Draw-down Warrants”). The Draw-down Warrants have full-ratchet price protection (reduction in exercise price and increase in the number of common shares underlying the warrants for potential dilutive equity issuances, as defined) for future issuances of equity securities by the Company (subject to certain specific exceptions.) With respect to each of the Draw-down Warrants issued under the Credit Line there is a reduction in exercise price only if a subsequent draw is at a lower price than the original VWAP. The warrants will have cashless exercise provisions and be subject to forced cashless exercise in the event that the Company’s common stock is trading at three times the VWAP for the 20 trading days prior to conversion of the warrants.  All interest under the Debentures will accrue and be payable upon maturity.

In connection with the establishment of the Credit Line, the Company issued 750,000 warrants (no ratchet price protection) to purchase the Company’s common stock at $0.01 per share for five years.  The fair value of $910,860, determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, is amortized ratably to ‘amortization of commitment fee’ over the life of the Credit Line.  The assumptions for fair value determination were as follows: Dividend yield: 0%; Volatility: 139.04%; Expected life: 5 years; Risk free rate: 2.66%. Also $25,000 was paid toward availing the credit facility.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $3,000,000 from the credit line.  As described above, the Company issued 3 million draw down warrants with exercise prices from $0.85 to $1.45 per share for five years with all warrants subsequently reset to $0.85 per share as of September 30, 2010. The fair value of the warrants were determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, is amortized ratably to operations over the life of the borrowing.  Assumptions for the fair value determination were as follows: Dividend yield: 0%; Volatility: 103.84% to136.30%; Expected life: 5 years; Risk free rate: 1.19% to 2.62%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the “Prepaid commitment fees” increased to $2,451,754, net of $1,407,795 amortized for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010.

In July 2010 the Company entered into an additional new $1.5 million credit line arrangement to issue 12% Revolving Debentures due September 30, 2011. The line may be accessed by the Company beginning January 2011.  In connection therewith, the Company issued 750,000 five year common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $1.00 per share, a cashless exercise provision and, under certain circumstances, as defined, ratchet price protection with respect to future issuances of equity securities by the Company. The fair value of the warrants of $495,434, determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, is amortized ratably to operations over the life of the Credit Line.  The assumptions for fair value determination were as follows: Dividend yield: 0%; Volatility: 104.13%; Expected life: 5 years; Risk free rate: 1.75%.
 
No additional warrants are issuable if the Company draws down on the credit facility. All interest under the Debentures will accrue and be payable upon maturity on September 30, 2011.  Draws under this arrangement are subject to certain conditions as defined in the agreement and the advances hereunder would confer certain rights to the purchasers with regard to the Company’s board of directors.
 
In July 2010, in conjunction with the new credit line arrangement, participants in the Credit Line entered into an amendment with the Company pursuant to which, among other things, extended the maturity date of the debentures issued/issuable thereunder from May 31, 2011 to September 30, 2011 and permitted that any debentures issued under the new credit facility will rank pari passu with debentures issued under the Credit Line.

The both Credit Lines are provided by three stockholders of the Company, one of which has representation on the Board of Directors.

NOTE 5 - WARRANT LIABILITY

In connection with issuance of Series C Preferred Stock in September 2009

The Company issued warrants in conjunction with the sale of Series C preferred stock.  These warrants contained certain reset provisions up to the first anniversary of date of the issuance. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 815-40, the Company reclassified the fair value of the warrant from equity to a liability at the date of issuance.  Subsequent to the initial issuance date, the Company is required to adjust to fair value the warrant as an adjustment to current period operations. (See note 7)

The Company estimated the fair value at date of issue of the warrants issued in connection with the issuance of the Series C preferred stock to be $2,052,181 using the Black-Scholes formula assuming no dividends, a risk-free interest rate of 2.41%, expected volatility of 131.04%, and expected warrant life of two years. Since the warrants have reset provisions for the first year, pursuant to ASC 815-40, the Company has recorded the fair value of the warrants as a derivative liability. The net value of the warrants at the date of issuance was recorded as a warrant liability in the amount of $2,052,181 and a reduction in value of the Series C preferred stock and charge to current period operations. Until conversion and expiration of the reset provisions of the warrants, changes in fair value were recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, warrant reset provision expired.  As such the Company reclassified the initial allocated fair value of the warrants of $1,483,201 from liability to equity.

In connection with the Credit Lines

The Company issues warrants in conjunction with the Draw-downs under the Credit Line.  These warrants contain certain reset provisions, which expire if the Company lists on a National stock exchange such as NASDAQ. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 815-40, the Company classifies the fair value of these warrants as a liability at the date of issuance.  Subsequent to the initial issuance date, the Company is required to adjust to fair value the warrant as an adjustment to current period operations. (See note 4)

The fair values of all above described warrants of $1,683,102 at September 30, 2010 were determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions:

Dividend yield:
-0-%
Volatility
103.28%
Risk free rate:
1.27%

As of the date of the financial statements, the Company believes an event under the contract that would create an obligation to settle in cash or other current assets is remote and has classified the obligation as a long term liability.

At September 30, 2010, the Company adjusted the recorded fair values of the warrants and derivative liability to market resulting in non-cash, non-operating gain of $97,473 and $711,706 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

NOTE 6 – RESET DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

The Series C preferred stock contained certain reset provisions during the first anniversary of date of the issuance and therefore, in accordance with ASC 815-40, the Company determined the fair value of the reset provision was $1,647,771 using the Black-Scholes formula assuming no dividends, a risk-free interest rate of 0.39%, expected volatility of 131.04%, and expected life of one year. Pursuant to ASC 815-40, the Company recorded the fair value of the reset provision as a reset derivative liability. The net value of the reset provision at the date of issuance was recorded as a reset derivative liability in the amount of $1,647,771 and a reduction in value of the Series C preferred stock and charge to current period operations. Until expiration of the reset provisions of the Series C preferred stock, changes in fair value were recorded as non-cash, non-operating income or expense at each reporting date. (See note 7)

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the reset provision contained in the Series C preferred stock expired.  As such, the Company reclassified the initial allocated fair value of the reset provision of $1,190,916 from liability to equity.

 NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY (continued)

Dilutive issuance (see the "Reset derivative" liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets).  The Preferred C stock contained certain reset provisions up to the first anniversary of date of the issuance. These reset provisions expired during the 3 months ended September 30, 2010.
 
In connection with the issuance of each share Series C preferred stock, the Company issued 1,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at $1.20 per share for five years (2,920,000 warrants in total).  Prior to the first anniversary of the date of issuance, the warrants contained certain proportional reset provisions which also expired during the 3 months ended September 30, 2010.
 
Exchange right (see the "Preferred shares subject to liability conversion" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets under "Temporary Equity").  If, at any time prior to the first anniversary of the date of issuance, the Company had delivered a notice requesting a draw down under the Company’s 12% secured revolving debenture due May 31, 2011, then a copy of such request would have been delivered to each holder of the Series C preferred stock within five trading days.  Each holder of the Series C preferred stock had a one-time right, at any time within five trading days after delivery of notice, to elect to exchange its Series C preferred stock (and all warrants issued to the holder in connection with the Series C preferred stock) for a debenture and warrants on the same terms and in the same dollar amount, as was issued to the purchasers of the debentures and warrants. No investor exercised this one-time exchange right and in March 2010, the exchange right described above expired; therefore the Series C preferred stock was reclassified to the ‘shareholders’ deficit’ section for balance sheet presentation.
 
Warrant (see the "warrant liability" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets). The warrant is described in Footnote 5, Warrant Liability, "In connection with issuance of Series C Preferred Stock in September 2009."
 
In accordance with ASC 815-40, the Company was required to bifurcate the fair value of the reset provision from the host contract and mark to market the reset provision each reporting period. The fair value of the reset provision at the date of issuance, determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Method, was charged as an allocated debt discount.

In connection with the issuance of the Series C preferred stock, the 2,920,000 warrants had certain reset provisions as described above.  In accordance with ASC 815-40, the Company recorded the fair value of the warrants outside of equity and marked them to market each reporting period until expiry of the reset provision. The fair value of the warrants at the date of issuance, determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Method, was charged as an allocated debt discount.

The Company recorded a total debt discount of $2,674,117 from the reset and exchange provisions and related warrants, and with the expiration of both the dilutive issuance rights and the exchange right during the year, the entire amount is now classified in "Permanent equity."  

Series D Preferred stock/stock subscription
 
In September 2010, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of up to 1,000 shares of 0% convertible non-voting preferred stock (the “Series D preferred stock”)
 
No shares were issued as of September 30, 2010.  Funds received in September 2010 were recorded as a ‘Stock subscription’ in the ‘Stockholders’ deficit’ section of the Balance Sheet. (See note 10)

In January 2010, warrants totaling 100,000 were issued in connection with services rendered.  The warrants are exercisable for four years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.  The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield $-0-, volatility of 137.67% to 139.96% and risk free rate from 1.41% to 2.64%.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an aggregate of 3 million warrants were issued in connection with borrowing from the credit facility.

(See note 5)

On July 28, 2010, warrants totaling 750,000 were issued as a commitment fee in connection with a new $1.5 million credit facility.

These warrants contain certain reset provisions and require the Company to classify the market value of the warrants outside of equity. (See note 4)

On August 18, 2010, warrants totaling 100,000 were issued in connection with services rendered.  The warrants are exercisable for four years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $1.50 per share.  The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield $-0-, volatility of 104.01% and risk free rate from 0.77%.

On September 30, 2010, warrants totaling 250,000 were issued in connection with services rendered.  The 25% of the warrants are exercisable immediately with the remainder determined with milestones met.  The vested warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $1.10 per share.  The fair value of the vested warrants was determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield $-0-, volatility of 103.28% and risk free rate from 0.64%.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, the Company granted an aggregate of 1,100,000 stock options with an exercise price from $0.98 to $1.40 per share expiring ten years from issuance. The fair values were determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
 
Dividend yield:
    -0- %
Volatility
110.77% to 137.67 % 
Risk free rate:
3.28% to 3.83 % 

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, the Company re-priced certain employee options initially with exercise price of $1.40 to $0.77 per share with other terms remaining the same.  The re-determined fair value of the vesting options will be charged to operations over the remaining vesting period

The fair value of all employee options vesting in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 of $2,487,614 and $2,469,617, respectively, was charged to current period operations.
 
Aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $2,766,760 and $1,673,843, respectively. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the Company's closing price on the last trading day of the fiscal period, which was $1.05 and $0.64 as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and the exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding.
 
Restrictive Stock Units (“RSUs”)

The Company has issued RSUs to certain employees and non employees under the 2009 Equity Compensation Plan.  RSUs issued to date vest in up to 24 months with certain acceleration clauses, as defined by the 2009 Equity Compensation Plan.

NOTE 8 -STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (continued)

As of September 30, 2010, there was $19,600 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non vested RSUs granted under the 2009 Equity Compensation Plan granted to non employees based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at reporting date.  The fair value is expected to be recognized based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock over a weighted-average period of 2 years.

The fair value of all non employees RSUs vesting during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 of $36,750 was charged to current period operations.

 NOTE 9 — FAIR VALUE

ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements regarding our business development plans, clinical trials, regulatory reviews, timing, strategies, expectations, anticipated expenses levels, projected profits, business prospects and positioning with respect to market, demographic and pricing trends, business outlook, technology spending and various other matters (including contingent liabilities and obligations and changes in accounting policies, standards and interpretations) and express our current intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies or predictions.  These forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions and currently available information and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.

Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of terms such as “anticipate,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “should” or similar expressions. Although we believe that the assumptions on which the forward-looking statements contained herein are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate given the inherent uncertainties as to the occurrence or nonoccurrence of future events. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict.  Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including the potential risks and uncertainties set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and Item 1A below and relate to our business plan, our business strategy, development of our proprietary technology platform and our products, timing of such development, timing and results of clinical trials, level and timing of FDA regulatory clearance or review, market acceptance of our products, protection of our intellectual property, implementation of our strategic, operating and people initiatives, benefits to be derived from personnel and directors, ability to commercialize our products, our assumptions regarding cash flow from operations and cash on-hand, the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure, implementation of marketing programs, our key agreements and strategic alliances, our ability to obtain additional capital as, and when, needed, and on acceptable terms and general economic conditions specific to our industry, any of which could impact sales, costs and expenses and/or planned strategies and timing.   Until we are able to generate sufficient liquidity from operations, if we are not able to raise sufficient additional capital, it could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. We assume no obligation to, and do not currently intend to, update these forward-looking statements.

Overview

Significant highlights for the third quarter of 2010 were as follows: 

Overview
 
We took steps that were effective July 1, 2010 to strengthen our financial position by reducing our cash usage of approximately $1.5 million per quarter for each of the first two quarters. For the third quarter of 2010 our net cash used in operating activities was $0.85 million compared to $1.48 million in the third quarter of 2009. We implemented company-wide salary reductions of up to 30%, negotiating similar reductions from our current external consultants and vendors, and limiting discretionary spending. We also supplemented our cash on hand with $500,000 in a Series D financing described in Note 10 to the financial statements. As a result, our current cash on hand is expected to be sufficient to fund our operations into the first part of 2011.  We have funded our operations largely from the proceeds of our equity financings from December 2007 through September 2010 and our July 2009 $3 million credit facility. At September 30, 2010, we had $1.0 million in the bank, which included $500,000 from the subscription to the Series D financing. If necessary, we have a new $1.5 million credit facility with the same three investors who funded the July 2009 facility.  The expense management program is also continuing in the fourth quarter.
 
Since September 2009 we added a net of one engineer, converted our corporate business development individual from a full time employee to part time consultant, hired our QA consultant, but have basically made no significant changes in our cost structure effective beyond the short term expense management plan. Further, as part of the expense management plan, we implemented management changes to focus on commercialization, with our President also becoming CEO and our founder and former CEO focusing his full time efforts in R&D as a NewCardio Fellow. QTinno™, our automated cardiac safety software solution was launched commercially in August of 2009, with our initial customers and revenue realized in the quarters ending September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2010 respectively. This is the first of our cardiac diagnostic solutions as we continue to develop and market our proprietary 3-D software platform technology to provide greater accuracy in a more timely manner thereby increasing the value of the standard 12 lead electrocardiogram (12L ECG.)  Our 3-D software platform reduces the time and expense involved in assessing cardiac status while increasing the ability to diagnose clinically significant conditions which were previously difficult to detect.  We believe our software products and services will significantly improve the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiovascular disease, as well as cardiac safety assessment of drugs under development, the latter being QTinno.
 
We have entered into master service agreements (MSAs) with customers who will be using QTinno and have generated $169,000 of revenues in 2010 primarily from the sale of implementation kits and professional services related to QTinno as our customers prepare to conduct automated cardiac safety studies, which are expected to generate additional revenues pursuant to the MSAs, on a study-by-study basis. In this regard we completed our first study in the current quarter and have started work on the next study. Additionally, there continues to be recent positive signs that the early phase market is returning somewhat to the pre-recession level of activity. We are receiving a growing number of requests for QTinno, from both current and prospective customers, which lead us to be optimistic about our potential to capture growing market share of this high gross profit margin product in 2011. We have established a solid footprint which we feel positions us well to be able to identify and capture a significant number of cardiac safety studies as the early phase market volume starts to come back. 
 
 
30

 
 
By way of background, our sales and marketing efforts for QTinno have focused on three distinct “customers” groups who are involved in cardiac safety analysis in early phase QT studies.  The first group includes any and all  clinical trial service providers, such as clinical research organizations (CROs), ECG core labs, and clinical pharmacology units (CPUs) who would be our “direct” customers, as they would be entering into MSAs s in order to integrate QTinno into their current product and service offerings, enabling them to expand their revenue and profit potential through the delivery of automatic cardiac safety analysis in the early phase QT/TQT studies they are conducting for their Pharma sponsor customers.  The second includes “indirect” customers, primarily Pharma sponsors or any drug development organization, which will be looking to adopt the automated cardiac safety methodology for their early phase QT/TQT studies through our “direct” customers, their clinical trial service providers. This effort, done both with our customers as well as on our own, ensures that there is a growing level of awareness and interest in automated cardiac safety solutions, and specifically in QTinno, throughout the clinical trial industry.  Our third group includes the regulatory authorities, in particular the FDA, as well as the key industry groups, such as the Cardiac Safety Research Consortium (CSRC), with a focus on working in collaboration with them to share both the current performance of QTinno, as well as the future potential to advance the current state of cardiac safety analysis.  We have recently completed a validation study on a blinded data set provided by the CSRC, and have recently received the results of their  review and analysis of the QTinno data.  The results of the study will be presented at the upcoming CRSC annual meeting in December, 2010. We are the only Company that has agreed to the terms of this validation study. And we believe that the reluctance for others to submit to this rigorous validation is the requirement to agree, prior to initiating the validation process, to publicly publish the results of the CSRC analysis.  Our confidence in the QTinno, based on the validation results we have had to date, made this an easy decision for us.
 
We believe this market awareness and adoption that we have realized through our validation efforts for QTinno provide credibility for the potential of the 3-D platform technology in that the kernel of the technology that runs QTinno is used in the other products and solutions.  The markets for those products and solutions – CardioBip™ - the emerging opportunity in telemedicine with remote patient monitoring – and my3KG™ - whose first deployment is expected to be in the emergency room - are expected to be over $1 billion each.
 
Research and Development
 
As we continue to look at strategic partnerships and other such endeavors, the timing and nature of our research and development plans may change and we would expect such transactions to accelerate the development of these solutions and the 3-D platform technology in general.
 
CardioBip and my3KG

We believe there is emerging opportunity in telemedicine with remote patient monitoring, especially using a wireless device that will provide information equivalent to a standard 12L ECG. We have had 40 such prototype CardioBip units operating in Belgrade, Serbia, collecting 3-D ECG data and wirelessly transmitting them to a 24-hour on-call cardiology center for review. More than 4,000 successful ECG data transmissions from more than 100 patients have been completed to date. We completed two successful pilot studies – one focused on patients with coronary artery disease; the other in regards to monitoring atrial fibrillation trends prior to and post cardio version treatment. These studies have shown that CardioBip processed and transmitted 12L ECGs that were not inferior to standard 12L ECGs. During second quarter, we initiated a third study that uses CardioBip for remote monitoring of patients that underwent cardiac ablation procedures for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. This study compares standard follow-up procedures, such 24-hour Holter monitoring to periodic remote and wireless monitoring using CardioBip. Our working hypothesis is that CardioBip monitoring allows for early detection of clinically relevant post-procedure atrial fibrillation recurrences, as compared to using Holter devices. Additionally, CardioBip offers patients the convenience of having their rhythm monitored remotely from the comfort of their home. Healthcare costs could also be saved, as the need for hospital or doctor’s office visits is reduced. The study is estimated to complete in the fourth quarter.
 
Based on the results of these initial studies, we are continuing our work on the second generation version of CardioBip, a Bluetooth-enabled version, which was successfully demonstrated at one of our primary trade shows in May 2010, the HRS or Heart Rhythm Society. At the same conference, results from our first atrial fibrillation pilot study were discussed during an oral presentation, as part of the Scientific Sessions. Provided sufficient funding, we expect to use this version and create a fully functional, fully documented system to conduct the necessary clinical trials to file for 510(k) premarket notification in 2011. We expect that this will be our second product to come to market.
 
 
31

 
 
This quarter, the results from the first two CardioBip clinical studies were presented at the 32nd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.
 
We continue to file additional patent applications on a regular basis.  This quarter, we filed two additional PCT applications that covered aspects of CardioBip and my3KG technologies.
 
We continue to study my3KG, our third product, internally by evaluating its performance in ECGs from patients undergoing evaluation for acute chest pain and presenting at the emergency room. We are initially focusing directly on the algorithmic work and the potential of the product for significantly improving the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI), commonly referred to as a heart attack and currently we believe ... We recently acquired two new ECG databases with data from emergency room all comers. These new internal databases are being used to confirm the degree of increased performance of my3KG with respect to that of expert human readers. Our goal is to create a software product that will offer improvements in accuracy compared to the results of traditional ECGs that do not use our 3-D platform technology. Recent results from blinded tests conducted on these newly acquired ECG databases confirmed my3KG’s increased performance in detecting MI. These results give us confidence in our current plan, which is to continue research and development with the objective being to conduct the necessary clinical trials and file for 510(k) premarket notification and become our third product to market.
 
We have also been using my3KG to evaluate its ability to improve diagnosis of Acute Coronary Syndromes (AMI) in Type II Diabetic Patients. With current technology, accurate diagnosis of AMI is difficult in diabetics, largely because the standard 12L ECG can be inaccurate in this patient group.  Our results showed 42% greater sensitivity than 12-lead ECG for early detection of AMI, with equal or better specificity. We presented these results in the fourth quarter of 2010 at the Diabetic Drug Safety Conference meeting in Washington DC.

QTinno
 
The development work for QTinno is primarily product enhancements as is typical with a released software product. This is largely driven by our customers as they learn the full capabilities of the automated 3-D platform technology.  Features such as automated Holter data processing will be added to future QTinno releases. While we also expect to add capability to manage late stage drug studies and post-market surveillance studies, we believe the market opportunities of CardioBip and my3KG are larger and we are prioritizing those as our next research and development efforts for the 3-D technology platform.

Quarter ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
 
            Selected results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 were as follows:
 
 Revenues were $99,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and represented professional services associated with the deployment of QTinno for use in the cardiac safety component of a drug development study, as well as initial per ECG revenues from two such studies. There were no comparable revenues in 2009. Cost of goods was $38,000 due to maintenance costs of our service center, in addition to the labor costs associated with the services.
 
 Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 23% to $1,185,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $353,000 from $1,538,000 in 2009.  The change is made up of both cash and stock-based compensation to key consultants and executives. Stock based compensation totaled $642,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2010, up $4,000 from $638,000 a year ago. In total spending for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 of $543,000 decreased $357,000 from $900,000 in the same period last year. This spending is primarily for human resources, both employees and consultants, and related travel expenses.  Reductions include the expense management program as well as new responsibilities for our founder/CEO, who in June 2010 became a NewCardio Fellow focusing on research and development with the President becoming the CEO and assuming the CEO responsibilities.

Research and development expenses decreased 6% to $748,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $48,000 from $796,000 in 2009.  Stock based compensation totaled $394,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2010, up $38,000 from $356,000 a year ago. R&D spending decreased $86,000 to $354,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to $440,000 a year ago. Although we added one net engineer, plus the new responsibilities of our founder in this area, this was more than offset by our expense management program.  Further we did not introduce any new significant projects in the September 2010 quarter and our lead product, QTinno, is now in the market.
 
Our equity compensation agreements with non-employees are under terms and conditions consistent with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 505-50, Equity, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505-50”).  We compensate non-employee consultants for services using equity or cash or a combination of both. Further, stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs) are an element of employee compensation.  Total stock based compensation as discussed above is expected to have a material effect on our results of operations during the next 12 months. On the administrative side, we use stock and stock option grants for consultants primarily in support of our investor relation programs providing public market information.  On the research side, we use consultants for both the technical development of our products and also for support of our clinical development process.  
 
The gain on change in the fair value of our warrant liability and reset derivative in the quarter ended September 30, 2010 of $97,000 represents a mark–to-market at quarter end due primarily to the decrease in the market value of our common stock from June 30, 2010. Further, certain reset rights of the underlying preferred stock and warrants that were issued in September 2009 expired in September 2010.  As a result of the September 2009 transaction, we recorded an expense (a loss) of $749,000 in the same quarter a year ago.
 
The amortization of commitment fees includes of $632,000 is the non-cash cost of warrants issued with the credit facilities, and in regards to the 2009 facility also includes Draw-down warrants subsequently issued as we utilized the facility. The $3 million 2009 line included 3 million warrants and the line was fully accessed by August 2010. The initial facility begins in September 2009 and we recognized $170,000 of such fees in the same quarter a year ago.
 
Interest, net of a $80,000 expense in the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compares to $1,000 in income last year and is primarily related to borrowings from our 12% credit facility in 2010 with minimal interest income on our cash balances.   Our cash reserves have decreased and we began borrowing in 2010.
 
Nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
 
Selected results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 were as follows:
 
Revenues were $169,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and represented professional services associated with the deployment of QTinno for use in the cardiac safety component of a drug development study, as well as initial per ECG revenues from two such studies in the September quarter. There were no comparable revenues in 2009. Cost of goods was $84,000 due to maintenance costs of our service center, in addition to the labor costs associated with the services.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 2% to $4,732,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $89,000 from $4,821,000 in 2009.  The decrease is made up of both cash and stock-based compensation to key consultants and executives. In the first nine months of 2010, $2,339,000 was non-cash expense, compare to $2,167,000 in 2009. For the first nine months of 2010, spending of $2,393,000 decreased $261,000 from $2,654,000 in the same period last year. This spending is primarily for human resources, both employees and consultants, and related travel expenses.  The decrease includes the expense management program as well as the new responsibilities for our founder/CEO, who in June 2010 became a NewCardio Fellow focusing on research and development with the President assuming the CEO responsibilities. In the first part of 2010 we invested in an aftermarket awareness program which partially offset these expense reductions.
 
Research and development expenses grew 14% to $2,674,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $335,000 from $2,339,000 in 2009.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, $1,380,000 was stock-based compensation, up from $1,028,000 in the same period a year ago. The balance of the expenses was primarily human resource-related, totaling $1,294,000 in the first nine months of 2010, a decrease of $17,000 from $1,311,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009. In 2010 we developed and introduced a new prototype of our telemedicine product, CardioBip, at one of the primary industry trade shows in May 2010, added a new engineer and established our founder as a NewCardio fellow. The expense management plan offset these increases and results in the modest net decrease in R&D spending.

Gain (loss) on change in fair value of warrant liability and reset derivative in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 of $712,000 and $(749,000), respectively represent a mark-to-market at each quarter end due primarily to the decrease in the market value of our common stock since December 31, 2009. The amortization of commitment fees of $1,408,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes the non-cash cost of warrants issued with our credit facilities and includes warrants subsequently issued as we draw down on the 2009 line during 2010. The initial facility begins in September 2009 and we recognized $170,000 of such fees in the same period a year ago. Other financing costs of $87,000 and $133,000, in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, include legal and accounting fees with our credit facility and equity transactions.

Interest, net of a $121,000 expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compares to $24,000 in income last year and is primarily related to borrowings from our 12% credit facility in 2010 and interest income on our cash balances.   Our cash reserves have decreased and we began borrowing in 2010.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have limited capital and limited capital resources.  We have incurred a net loss of $36.4 million from our inception in September 2004 through September 30, 2010 of which $15.5 million represents cash used in operating activities.
 
            As of September 30, 2010, we had $1 million in cash. This included $500,000 received in September as part of a Series D Preferred Stock financing that closed in October 2010. With these funds, we believe we have resources to sufficiently fund our operations and business plan for the balance of 2010. We entered into a new $1.5 million facility with the same investors/shareholders who provided the initial facility.  These monies are available under the terms of the new credit facility beginning January 2011. Borrowings under this facility, along with the current outstanding $3 million line of credit, would come due September 30, 2011, including accrued interest.
 
We have also retained  investment advisory firms, with extensive experience in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries to look at strategic partnership opportunities and other strategic funding opportunities. The timing and nature of these discussions would impact the need to access the new the credit facility. The primary impact/purpose of such funding plans would be to accelerate the commercialization of the next two solutions, CardioBip and my3KG, to be developed fro the underlying science available through our 3-D platform technology. The structure of any potential strategic relationship has not been defined and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such additional funding.
 
The purpose of the new credit facility is to ensure the Company has sufficient funding to support the current infrastructure should the QTinno revenue ramp not accelerate and/or our strategic funding efforts take longer than expected.  The facility, when combined with the expense reductions under the expense management plan, provide the Company with approximately 12 months of operating funds. 
 
In June 2010 we promoted our President and Chief Operating Officer to Chief Executive Officer and elected him to the Board of Directors as part of a planned succession designed to facilitate our continuing transition to a commercial enterprise. Our former CEO is now focusing his efforts, full time, in the areas of technology and product development, serving as a NewCardio Fellow and reporting to the Chairman of the Board.  As part of this transition, the CEO implemented company-wide expense management program which included salary reductions of up to 30%, and negotiated similar reductions from our current external consultants and vendors, and  limits on discretionary spending. As a result of these actions, we reduced our net cash used in operations in the quarter ending September 30, 2010 to $852,000, a reduction of $631,000 or 43% from $1,483,000 in the quarter ending September 30, 2009.

Due to our brief history and historical operating losses our current operations have not been a source of working capital and are not a source after the cost measures implemented effective July 2010. We believe that we will continue to incur net losses and negative cash flow from operating activities into 2011. Until we are able to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, our business will depend on raising additional capital, which could include the new $1.5 million credit facility, but is currently planned to come through strategic partnerships and other such endeavors that could include an equity investment or other business (e.g. licensing) or financing mechanisms, domestically and/or internationally.  
 
We may experience fluctuations in operating results in future periods due to a variety of factors, including our ability to successfully develop our business model, the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure and the implementation of marketing programs, key agreements and strategic alliances, and general economic conditions as well as those specific to our industry. This would also include our ability to obtain additional financing in a timely manner and on terms favorable to us. There can be no assurance that additional capital will become available or, if it does, that it will become available on acceptable terms, or that any additional capital we may obtain will be sufficient to meet our long-term needs. We currently have no commitments for any additional capital beyond the $1.5 million credit facility.

With the volatility in the recent trading price of our common stock and in the U.S. financial markets, it could be difficult to obtain additional investment or financing, strategic or otherwise. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek additional financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional capital is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations.
 
Our registered independent certified public accountants have stated in their report dated February 23, 2010 (except for Note 14 to those financial statements, as to which the date is April 30, 2010) that we have incurred operating losses in the last two years, and that we are dependent upon the management’s ability to develop profitable operations. These factors among others may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This statement in the accountants’ report may make it more difficult to obtain future financing.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
            The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. A summary of the critical accounting policies and the judgments that we make in the application of those policies is presented in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements.

Our consolidated financial statements are based on the selection of accounting policies and the application of accounting estimates, some of which require management to make significant assumptions. Actual results could differ materially from the estimated amounts. The following accounting policy is critical to understanding and evaluating our reported financial results:
 
Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

ASC 605-10 incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arraignments (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing 605-25 on the Company's financial position and results of operations was not significant.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
 
We account for our stock options and warrants using the fair value method promulgated by Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 480-10, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480-10”) which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. Therefore, our results include non-cash compensation expense as a result of the issuance of stock options and warrants and we expect to record additional non-cash compensation expense in the future.

We account for our stock options and warrants using the fair value method promulgated by Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.  This statement does not change the accounting guidance for share based payment transactions with parties other than employees.

Accounting for Classifying Series C Stock

In September 2009, we issued 2,920 shares of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock which contained certain reset and possible redemption provisions which required it to be classified as a liability in the balance sheet and stated at redemption value net of discounts. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging; Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”), we are required to bifurcate the fair value of the reset provision from the host contract and mark to market the reset provision each reporting period. The fair value of the reset provision at the date of issuance, determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Method, was charged as an allocated debt discount.  Each reporting period, we are required to mark to market the reset provision.
 
 
36

 
 
As of September 30, 2010 all the derivative features described above expired; therefore the Series C preferred stock and warrants was reclassified to the equity section for balance sheet presentation.
 
Accounting for and Classifying Warrants

At December 31, 2007 until December 1, 2008, the warrants we issued to the investors in the December 2007 private placement contained a “fundamental transaction” clause that if, while the warrants are outstanding, we effect a merger or consolidation, or similar transactions as defined in the warrants, and the warrant holders could demand net cash settlement. As the warrants contain a provision that could require cash settlement, pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging; Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”), the warrants were recorded as a derivative liability and valued at fair market value until we meet the criteria under ASC 815-40 for permanent equity. The net value of the warrants at the date of issuance was recorded as a warrant liability on the balance sheet in 2007 and reduced the value of the shares of Series A Stock subject to redemption. Subsequent to the initial issuance date, we are required to adjust, and have been adjusting, the warrants to fair value through current period operations. We made a final adjustment to fair value at December 1, 2008 when the warrants were exercised, settled or amended. The Series J and Series J-Warrants were exercised and converted on December 1, 2008 and the Series A Warrants were amended so that all warrants meet the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”) criteria for permanent equity and the liability has been eliminated. As a result, there is no warrant liability remaining for these warrants since December 2008.

In September 2009, we issued warrants in connection with the issuance of our Series C Stock that contain certain reset provisions up to the first anniversary of date of the issuance. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 815-40, we reclassified the fair value of the warrant from equity to a liability at the date of issuance.  Subsequent to the initial issuance date, we are required to adjust to fair value the warrant as an adjustment to current period operations. As noted above, the reset provisions expired in the quarter ending September 30, 2010, and the warrant liability was reclassified to the equity section for balance sheet presentation.

Beginning in March 2010, we issued warrants in conjunction with the drawn down of the credit facility.  These warrants contain certain reset provisions extending for five years from the date of issuance of the warrants. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 815-40, we reclassified the fair value of the warrants from equity to a liability at the date of each issuance.  Subsequent to the initial issuance date, we are required to adjust to fair value the warrant as an adjustment to current period operations.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value
 
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, we considered the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and considered assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
 
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
            We adopted the provisions of ASC 825-10 prospectively effective as of the beginning of Fiscal 2008 with certain additional provision adopted prospectively as of the beginning of Fiscal 2009.  The adoption of ASC 825-10 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
 Level 3 Liabilities comprised of our bifurcated reset provision contained within our Series C stock and the fair value of issued warrants with reset provisions.
 
Inflation
 
Our opinion is that inflation has not had a material effect on our operations and is not expected to have any material affect on our operations.
 
 Climate Change
 
Our opinion is that neither climate change, nor governmental regulations related to climate change, have had, or are expected to have, any material affect on our operations.
