NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation and Liquidity

The accompanying condensed financial statements of Cambridge Heart, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) that we follow to ensure our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows are consistently reported.

The Company’s interim financial statements as of June 30, 2010 and 2011 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal and recurring items) necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2011, results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011.

The preparation of financial statements requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates its estimates on an on-going basis, including those related to incentive compensation, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, warranty obligations, the fair value of preferred stock and warrants, stock-based compensation and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of this evaluation then form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.

Management believes that the existing resources and currently projected financial results are only sufficient to fund operations into the fourth quarter of 2011. To the extent that sales exceed the projected levels, the Company may have sufficient resources to fund its operations beyond this timeline. Conversely, if the Company encounters material deviations from its plan including, but not limited to, lower than expected sales to Cardiac Science, lower than expected sales of the HearTwave II Systems and Micro-V Alternans Sensors, its ability to fund operations through the projected timeline will be negatively impacted. The Company anticipates that it will need to raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt securities to fund operations beyond its projection. There can be no assurance that such capital will be available at all, or if available, that the terms of such financing will not be dilutive to other stockholders. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of the Company by our stockholders would be diluted. In addition, the Company may have to issue equity or debt securities that have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our existing securities, including common stock.

If the Company is unable to generate adequate cash flows or obtain sufficient additional funding when needed, the Company may have to take certain actions including, but not limited to, cutting back its operations, selling some or all of its assets, licensing potentially valuable technologies to third parties, and/or ceasing some or all of its operations.

These financial statements assume that the Company will continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The interim financial statements of the Company presented herein are intended to be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that my occur for the full fiscal year or for future interim periods.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts, which may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of the Company’s cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short maturities of these investments. This may include short-term commercial paper, short-term securities of state government agencies with maturities less than three months from date of purchase, money market funds and demand deposits with financial institutions.

At December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, respectively, $4,184,124 and $1,587,439 of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were in a transaction account. As of June 30, 2011, this transaction account was covered by Federal Deposit Insurance Coverage (“FDIC”) in the amount of $250,000. At December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, respectively, the Company classified investments in money market funds totaling $4,091 and $4,161, respectively, as cash equivalents since these investments are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and do not have significant valuation risk. These investments are currently in a fund that invests exclusively in short-term U.S. Government obligations, including securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and U.S. Treasury securities. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

In November 2007, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Farley White Management Company, LLC to lease 17,639 usable square feet of office space. The initial lease term was for 62 months with an option to extend the lease for one extension period of five years. During the term of the lease, the Company is required to maintain a standby letter of credit in favor of the landlord as security for the Company’s obligations under the lease. The amount of the letter of credit is $500,000 for the first and second lease years and is reduced by $100,000 at the end of the second, third and fourth lease years. The Company first occupied the space in February 2008 and the first and second reductions of the letter of credit in the amounts of $100,000 took place during the first three months of 2010 and 2011, respectively. The Company has recorded this letter of credit as restricted cash on its balance sheets.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

Revenue from the sale of product to all of the Company’s customers is recognized upon shipment of goods provided that risk of loss has passed to the customer, all of the Company’s obligations have been fulfilled, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. Revenue from the sale of product to all of our third-party distributors is subject to the same recognition criteria. The HearTwave II System and the CH 2000 Cardiac Stress Test System can be sold with a treadmill or as stand-alone systems, and pursuant to the Company’s Development, Supply and Distribution Agreement with Cardiac Science, the MTWA Module is placed with a start-up kit including Micro-V Alternans Sensors. Therefore, based on the guidelines of the Emerging Issues Task Force 08-1 (“EITF 08-1”), which has been included in FASB Accounting Statement Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 605, Revenue Recognition, as necessary, the Company allocates the total consideration to the separate items proportionately based on the relative selling price and, accordingly, defers revenue recognition on unshipped elements until shipment. The Company also sells maintenance agreements with the HearTwave II System. Revenue from maintenance contracts is recognized separately based on amounts charged when sold on a stand-alone basis and is recorded over the term of the underlying agreement. Billings of $260,250 at June 30, 2011 ($260,564 at December 31, 2010) charged in advance of services being performed are recorded as deferred revenue and included in current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet. The Company offers usage agreements under its Technology Placement Program (“TPP”) whereby customers have use of the HearTwave II System and a pre-set level of Micro-V Alternans Sensors for a 90-day period. Under the TPP, the Company retains title to the HearTwave II System. The revenue from the TPP is recognized over the term of the usage agreement, which is generally three months.

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for those accounts receivable considered to be uncollectible based upon historical experience and management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable at the end of the year. Bad debts are written off when identified. The Company’s actual experience of customer receivables written off directly during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 was $28,626 and $25,517, respectively. At December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $174,650 and $168,938, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company classifies freight and handling billed to customers as sales revenue and related costs as cost of sales.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.

Table of Contents

Net Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Due to experiencing a net loss in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 the impact of options to purchase 9,919,546 and 10,202,545 shares of common stock, warrants to purchase 7,024,392 and 0 shares of common stock issued in December 2009, 5,000 and 5,000 shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, 1,852 and 1,770 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, warrants to purchase 0 and 15,660,000 shares of common stock issued in connection with the Company’s private placement to accredited investors in December 2010 (“the December 2010 Private Placement”), and 99,733 and 44,300 unvested restricted shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average share amounts as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive for the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Inventory Valuation

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed using standard cost, which includes allocations of labor and overhead. Standard cost approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out method. Management assesses the value of inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory on a quarterly basis. If necessary, inventory value may be written down to the estimated fair market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. In 2009, the Company recorded a provision of $967,148 for excess inventory built up in connection with our contractual obligation as part of the co-marketing agreement with St. Jude Medical. In March 2007, we entered into a co-marketing agreement with St. Jude Medical granting St. Jude Medical the exclusive right to market and sell our HearTwave II System and other MTWA products to cardiologists and electrophysiologists in North America. The agreement with St. Jude Medical ended on November 5, 2008. Pursuant to the terms of the co-marketing agreement, we were contractually obligated to build up our inventory for HearTwave II Systems. Consequently, the level of our inventory exceeds our current sales projections of the HearTwave II System for the next 12 months. The provision is based on the uncertainty about realizing the value of excess inventory. As of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, the Company’s inventory reserve totaled $1,091,624 and $1,147,709. The increase in the inventory reserve is attributable to a write-down of inventory on hand as of June 30, 2011 related to our MTWA OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Module (“MTWA Module”) in connection with a program with Cardiac Science, launched in July 2011, whereby the MTWA Module is provided to Cardiac Science at no charge until December 31, 2011. The Company does not believe that the inventory is exposed to obsolescence risk. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required from time to time that could adversely affect operating results for the fiscal period in which such write-downs are affected.

Product Warranty

Management warrants all non-disposable products as compliant with their specifications and warrants that the products are free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of 13 months from the date of delivery. Management maintains a reserve for the estimated cost of future repairs of our products during this warranty period. The amount of the reserve is based on our actual return and historical repair cost experience. If the rate and cost of future warranty activities differs significantly from our historical experience, additional costs would have to be reserved that could materially affect our operating results.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or sale, the costs of the assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of net income.

Table of Contents

Licensing Fees and Patent Costs

The Company has entered into a licensing agreement giving the Company the exclusive rights to certain patents and technologies and the right to market and distribute any products developed based upon such patents and technologies, subject to certain covenants. Payments made under the licensing agreement and costs associated with patent applications have generally been expensed as incurred because recovery of these costs is uncertain. However, certain costs associated with patent applications for products and processes which have received regulatory approval and are available for commercial sale, have been capitalized and are being amortized over their estimated economic life of five years.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2009, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued new rules pertaining to the accounting for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new rules provide an alternative method for establishing fair value of a deliverable when vendor specific objective evidence cannot be determined. The guidance provides for the determination of the best estimate of selling price to separate deliverables and allows the allocation of arrangement consideration using this relative selling price model. The guidance supersedes the prior multiple element revenue arrangement accounting rules that are currently used by the company. The Company adopted this rule January 1, 2011 and there was no material impact to our financial position or results of operations.

In September 2009, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued new rules which changed the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements, such that tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality are no longer within the scope of software revenue guidance. The Company adopted this rule January 1, 2011 and there was no material impact to our financial position or results of operations.

5. CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

The Company’s authorized capital stock includes 2,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued at the discretion of the Board of Directors (without further stockholder approval) with such designations, rights and preferences as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time. This preferred stock may have dividend, liquidation, redemption, conversion, voting or other rights, which may be more expansive than the rights of the holders of the Company’s common stock.

The preferred stock is entitled to dividends when and if declared by the Board of Directors prior to the payment of any such dividends to the holders of common stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the preferred stock then outstanding are entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company before any payment is made to the holders of common stock. Each holder of the preferred stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the preferred stock is convertible on any matter reserved to the stockholders of the Company for their action at any meeting of the stockholders of the corporation.

Series C and Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock

On March 21, 2007, the Company and St. Jude Medical entered into an agreement for the sale of $12.5 million of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) to St. Jude Medical resulting in $11.7 million of proceeds, net of issuance costs. Under the terms of the financing, the Company issued and sold 5,000 shares of its Series C Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $2,500 per share (the “Series C Original Issue Price”). Each share of Series C Preferred Stock was convertible into a number of shares of common stock equal to $2,500 divided by the conversion price of the Series C Preferred Stock, which was initially $2.99. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock was convertible into approximately 836.12 shares of common stock. The total number of shares of common stock initially issuable upon conversion of the 5,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and sold in the financing was approximately 4,180,602.

Table of Contents

The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock were entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at the rate of eight percent (8%) of the Series C Original Issue Price per year (the “Series C Dividend”) on each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock, provided, however, that the Series C Dividend is only payable when, and if declared by the Board of Directors. The Series C Dividend was payable prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend on common stock, other series of Preferred Stock or any other capital stock of the Company.

The conversion price feature of the Series C Preferred Stock was subject to adjustment in certain circumstances if the Company issued shares of common stock under those circumstances on or before March 21, 2008 at a purchase price below the conversion price of the Series C Preferred Stock. No additional shares were issued as a result of this provision.

The holders of Series C Preferred Stock were entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of the proceeds from any liquidation (including change-in-control events), dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, to holders of common stock, other series of preferred stock or any other capital stock of the Company, an amount per share equal to the Series C Preferred Stock par value, plus declared but unpaid dividends on such shares.

The holders of Series C Preferred Stock were entitled to vote, on an as-if converted basis, along with holders of the Company’s common stock on all matters on which holder of common stock were entitled to vote.

In order to be able to issue securities in the Series D Financing, described below, that are senior to the Series C Preferred Stock previously issued by the Company, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with St. Jude Medical, dated as of December 23, 2009, pursuant to which St. Jude Medical exchanged 5,000 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, for 5,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C-1 Preferred Stock”). The terms of the Series C-1 Preferred Stock are substantially the same as the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock except that the Series C-1 Preferred Stock is junior to the Series D Preferred Stock in the event of a liquidation or a deemed liquidation of the Company.

In the event of a liquidation of the Company (including an Acquisition Transaction or Asset Transfer, each as defined in the Series C-1 Certificate of Designation), the holders of Series C-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to receive an amount equal to the Deemed Series C-1 Original Issue Price plus declared but unpaid dividends after the payment to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, but before any amount to the holders of common stock, and all other equity or equity equivalent securities of the Company other than those securities that are explicitly senior to or on parity with the Series C-1 Preferred Stock with respect to liquidation preference.

Under guidance issued by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) of the FASB, preferred securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets are to be classified outside of permanent equity if they are redeemable (i) at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, (ii) at the option of the holder, or (iii) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer. Accordingly, the Company classified the Series C-1 Preferred Stock outside of permanent equity based on the rights of the Series C-1 Preferred Stock in a deemed liquidation.

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock

On December 23, 2009, the Company issued and sold 1,852 shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) and common stock warrants described below to new and current institutional and private investors pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated December 23, 2009 between the Company and the purchasers of Series D Preferred Stock (the “Series D Financing”). The aggregate proceeds from the Series D Financing were $1.8 million, net of issuance costs.

Under the terms of the Series D Financing, the Company issued 1,852 shares of its Series D Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $1,000 per share (the “Series D Original Issue Price”). Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into a number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to $1,000 divided by the conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock, which is initially $0.082, representing a 15% premium to the 20-day trailing average of the Company’s closing common stock price as of December 21, 2009 (the “Closing Price”). Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is currently convertible into approximately 12,195 shares of common stock. The total number of shares of common stock initially issuable upon conversion of the 1,852 shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued and sold in the financing is 22,585,366, or approximately 32.69% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock assuming that all outstanding shares of preferred stock are converted to common stock. In June 2011, an investor converted 82 shares of Series D Preferred Stock resulting in the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. At June 30, 2011 there were 1,770 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, convertible into 21,585,366 shares of common stock, outstanding.

The Company also issued to the investors in the Series D Financing two types of warrants. The first warrant, which expired on December 23, 2010, entitled the investor to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 50% of the number of shares of common stock into which the Series D Preferred Stock purchased by the investor is convertible (the “Short-Term Warrant”). A total of 11,292,686 shares of common stock were issuable under the Short-Term Warrants. The exercise price of the Short-Term Warrants was $0.107 per share, which is 150% of the Closing Price. In May 2010, certain of the investors exercised their Short-Term Warrants, resulting in the issuance of 4,268,294 shares of common stock of the Company. In December 2010, the remaining outstanding Short-

Term Warrants were exercised resulting in the issuance of 7,024,392 shares of common stock of the Company. The second warrant, which would have expired on December 23, 2014, entitled the investor to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 30% of the number of shares of common stock into which the Series D Preferred Stock purchased by the investor was convertible (the “Long-Term Warrant”). A total of 6,775,611 shares of common stock were issuable under the Long-Term Warrants. The exercise price of the Long-Term Warrants was $0.142 per share, or 200% of the Closing Price. Pursuant to the terms of the Long-Term Warrant, the Company called the Long-Term Warrants in May 2010 resulting in the issuance of 6,775,611 shares of common stock of the Company.

An analysis was performed on the exercise and settlement provisions of the Long-Term and Short-Term Warrants as of December 23, 2009. As a result, it was determined that they were not considered derivative instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 815—Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) as they met the scope exception since they are both indexed to the Company’s own stock and are classified in stockholders’ deficit in the Company’s balance sheet.

The conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. If the Company issues shares of common stock at a purchase price below the conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock at any time on or before August 23, 2011, the conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock will be adjusted as set forth in the Series D Certificate of Designation (as defined below). In determining the appropriate accounting for the conversion feature for the Series D Preferred Stock, the Company determined that the conversion feature does not require bifurcation, and as a result is not considered a derivative under the provisions of ASC 815.

The holders of the Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to share in any dividends declared and paid, or set aside for payment, on the common stock, pro rata, in accordance with the number of shares of common stock into which such shares of Series D Preferred Stock are then convertible.

The holders of the Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such shares of Series D Preferred Stock could be converted immediately after the close of business on the record date fixed for such meeting or the effective date of such written consent, shall have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the common stock and shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company. The Series D Preferred Stock shall vote together with the common stock at any annual of special meeting of the stockholders and not as a separate class, and act by written consent in the same manner as the common stock.

In the event of a liquidation of the Company (including an Acquisition Transaction or Asset Transfer, each as defined in the Series D Certificate of Designation), the holders of Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive an amount equal to the Series D Original Issue Price plus declared but unpaid dividends before the payment of any amount to the holders of common stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock and all other equity or equity equivalent securities of the Company other than those securities that are explicitly senior to or on parity with the Series D Preferred Stock with respect to liquidation preference.

Under EITF issued guidance, preferred securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets are to be classified outside of permanent equity if they are redeemable (i) at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, (ii) at the option of the holder, or (iii) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer. Accordingly, the Company classified the Series D Preferred Stock outside of permanent equity based on the rights of the Series D Preferred Stock in a deemed liquidation.

Under GAAP, proceeds from the sale of securities are to be allocated to each financial instrument based on their relative fair market value. Further, if the convertible preferred stock has an effective price that is less than the fair value of the common stock into which it is convertible on the date of issuance, the difference between the effective price and the fair value represents a beneficial conversion feature. In this regard, we allocated the net proceeds from the Series D Financing based on the relative fair market value of the Series D Preferred Stock using the Company’s closing common stock price as of December 23, 2009 and to the related warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair market value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

 

     Short-Term     Long-Term  

Dividend Yield

     0.0     0.0

Expected Volatility

     170     132

Risk Free Interest Rate

     0.41     2.51

Expected Option Terms (in years)

     1        5   

Based on this allocation, the relative fair value of the Series D Preferred Stock was $1,247,780. The aggregate fair value of the common stock into which the Series D Preferred Stock are convertible was $1,355,122. Therefore, the difference between the relative fair value of the Series D Preferred Stock and the fair value of the common stock into which the Series D Preferred Stock are convertible represents a beneficial conversion feature of $107,342. The amount of the beneficial conversion feature was immediately accreted and the accretion resulted in a deemed dividend as the Series D Preferred Stock was immediately convertible. The deemed dividend was reflected as an adjustment to the net loss applicable to common shareholders on the Company’s Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Warrants

In December 2010, the Company sold 14,500,000 Units, as described below, in the December 2010 Private Placement. The Units were comprised of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock. Each warrant included in the Unit entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock for $0.25 for a period of five years from the date of issuance. In addition, the Company issued 1,160,000 warrants to purchase common stock to the selling agent in the December 2010 Private Placement. An analysis was performed on the exercise and settlement provisions of the warrants issued in connection with the December 2010 Private Placement as of December 31, 2010. As a result, it was determined that they are not considered derivative instruments under ASC 815 as they meet the scope exception because they are both indexed to the Company’s own stock and are classified in stockholders’ deficit in the Company’s balance sheet. In addition, under GAAP, proceeds from the sale of securities are to be allocated to each financial instrument based on their relative fair market value. In this regard, we allocated the proceeds from the sale of the common stock based on the relative fair market value of the common stock and warrants using the Company’s closing common stock price as of December 20, 2010 and to the related warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair market value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

 

     December 20,
2010
 

Dividend Yield

     0.0

Expected Volatility

     146

Risk Free Interest Rate

     2.06

Expected Option Terms (in years)

     5   

Based on this allocation, the relative fair values of the common stock and the warrants were $1,535,142 and $1,364,858, respectively.

The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of the common stock and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants in connection with the December 2010 Private Placement in January 2011. In April 2011, the Company filed Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement including such information related to the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 as is required in order for the Registration Statement to comply with the requirements of Form S-1. On May 2, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Registration Statement effective.

At December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, there were 15,660,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock outstanding.

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The stock-based compensation charge increased the Company’s loss from operations as well as its net loss by $597,191 and $190,039 or $0.01 and $0.00 per share in the six month periods ending June 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires extensive use of financial estimates and accounting judgment, including the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock over the estimated term of the options granted, estimates on the expected time period that employees will retain their vested stock options prior to exercising them, and the number of shares that are expected to be forfeited before the options are vested. The use of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different estimates of the fair value of the stock-based compensation and as a result, provide significantly different amounts recognized in the Company’s Statement of Operations.

The following weighted average assumptions were used to estimate the fair market value of options granted using the Black-Scholes valuation method:

 

     Six months ended June 30,  
     2010     2011  

Dividend Yield

     0.0     0.0

Expected Volatility

     161.6     143.2

Risk Free Interest Rate

     1.5     1.3

Expected Option Terms (in years)

     3        5   

The expected volatility is based on the price of the Company’s common stock over a historical period which approximates the expected term of the options granted. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rate with a term consistent with the expected life of the options granted. The expected term is estimated based on historical experience.

The fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $113,455 with a per share weighted average fair value of $0.21. The fair value was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions listed above. As of June 30, 2011 there was $364,963 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to approximately 3,496,744 unvested outstanding stock options. The expense is anticipated to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.9 years. The intrinsic value of both the outstanding and expected to vest and exercisable shares was $324,370 and $196,867, respectively, at June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, 40,000 and 0 stock options were exercised.

There were no new restricted stock grants issued to employees in the six month period ended June 30, 2011. For the six month period ended June 30, 2011, approximately 1,154,850 shares of restricted stock were available for future grant. Included in total stock-based compensation in the Company’s statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $8,629 of compensation related to restricted stock previously granted. At December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, there was $11,413 and $111 of unrecognized compensation related to restricted stock previously granted, respectively.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Guarantor Arrangements

The Company undertakes certain indemnification obligations under its agreements with other companies in the ordinary course of its business, typically with business partners and customers. Under these provisions, the Company generally indemnifies and holds harmless the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party as a result of the Company’s activities. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is unlimited. The Company maintains a products liability insurance policy that is intended to limit its exposure to this risk. Based on the Company’s historical activity in combination with its insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011.

The Company warrants all of its non-disposable products as compliant with their specifications and warrants that the products are free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of 13 months from date of delivery. The Company maintains a reserve for the estimated costs of future repairs of its products during this warranty period. The amount of the reserve is based on the Company’s actual repair cost experience. The Company had $18,199 and $6,923 of accrued warranties at June 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively, as set forth in the following table:

Overview

We are engaged in the research, development and commercialization of products for the non-invasive diagnosis of cardiac disease. Using innovative technologies, we are addressing a key problem in cardiac diagnosis—the identification of those at risk of

sudden cardiac arrest (“SCA”). Our products incorporate our proprietary technology for the measurement of Microvolt T-Wave Alternans (“MTWA”), and were the first diagnostic tools cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to non-invasively measure Microvolt levels of T-Wave Alternans in order to predict the risk of SCA. MTWA is an extremely subtle beat-to-beat fluctuation in the t-wave segment of a patient’s electrocardiogram. Our technology can detect these variations down to one millionth of a volt. The MTWA Test is conducted by elevating the patient’s heart rate through exercise as performed on a treadmill similar to a standard stress test, pharmacologic agents, or pacing with electrical pulses. Our proprietary products in conjunction with our proprietary sensors, when placed on the patient’s chest, can acquire and analyze the patient’s electrocardiogram for MTWA.

Published clinical data in a broad range of patients with heart disease has shown that patients with symptoms of, or at risk of, life threatening arrhythmias who test positive for MTWA are at an increased risk for subsequent sudden cardiac events including sudden death, while those who test negative are at minimal risk. Sudden cardiac arrest accounts for approximately one-third of all cardiac deaths, or approximately 300,000 deaths, in the U.S. each year, and is the leading cause of death in people over the age of 45. All of our products, including our first generation HearTwave System and second generation HearTwave II System, CH 2000 Cardiac Stress Test System, MTWA Module and Micro-V Alternans Sensors have received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for sale in the U.S. Our products have also received the CE mark for sale in Europe, which certifies that a product has met European Union consumer, health and environmental requirements. Our first generation HearTwave System, CH 2000 Cardiac Stress Test System and the HearTwave II System have been approved for sale by the Japanese Ministry of Health Labor and Welfare. Our 510(k) clearance allows our MTWA Test to be used to test patients with known, suspected, or at risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmia and/or sudden cardiac arrest, and allows the claim that our MTWA Test is predictive of those events.

In March 2006, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued a National Coverage Determination (“NCD”) that allows for reimbursement to healthcare providers for MTWA testing of patients at risk of SCD only when a MTWA Test is done using the Analytic Spectral Method, which is our patented and proprietary method of analysis.

Strategy

Our mission is to have our MTWA Test become a standard of care in the non-invasive diagnostic monitoring regime used to identify and manage the risk of cardiac disease. In the past, the Company’s marketing strategy was focused on providing MTWA testing to those patients at highest risk for SCA, who were already likely candidates to receive an implantable defibrillation device (“ICD”). Although MTWA testing has clearly been demonstrated to be useful in this patient population, clinical experience and a growing body of data suggests that MTWA technology can and should be used in a much broader population of cardiac patients. We estimate that there are approximately 10 to 12 million cardiac patients in the U.S. who are at risk of SCA and can benefit from annual MTWA testing. Our strategy now includes accessing this broader patient population.

We intend to achieve this mission by making our technology readily available, in multiple product embodiments, in cardiology and internal medicine physician practices and in hospitals that provide healthcare services to a broad group of at-risk cardiac patients who routinely undergo cardiac evaluations, including stress testing. Our strategy calls for the Company to partner with manufacturers of cardiac stress testing equipment, who have established distribution networks and existing installed base of users, to integrate our MTWA technology into their systems. In addition to being sold to the manufacturers’ new customers, the Company expects that the MTWA product will be marketed as an upgrade to the manufacturers’ existing installed base of users. We believe that this strategy will result in our technology being marketed to a much larger number of cardiologists and internal medicine practitioners. We also believe that leveraging larger and more established distribution networks will allow us to place more strategic focus on increasing clinical utilization of our Alternans technology and increasing sales of our proprietary Micro-V Alternans Sensors.

As the first step in the execution of this new strategy, the Company signed a non-exclusive development and distribution agreement with Cardiac Science, a global leader in diagnostic cardiac monitoring devices, to develop the MTWA Module, which was launched in September 2010. The MTWA Module developed under the Cardiac Science Agreement allows our MTWA Test, using our proprietary Micro-V Alternans Sensors, to be performed on Cardiac Science’s Q-Stress test platform.

The Company is pursuing other similar partnerships that will enable us to broaden the adoption and utilization of MTWA testing.

Distribution Update

At June 30, 2011, we employed 4 direct sales representatives in the U.S. and 9 clinical application specialists who provide clinical support to our direct sales force, install systems, train customers and enhance sensor utilization. We utilize country specific independent distributors for the sales of our products outside the U.S.

In June 2009, we entered into the Cardiac Science Agreement as part of our strategy to increase the sales and use of our proprietary MTWA technology. Pursuant to the Cardiac Science Agreement, we developed the MTWA Module that will allow our MTWA Test, using our proprietary Micro-V Alternans Sensors, to be performed on Cardiac Science’s Q-Stress test platform via customized software and patient interface. Cardiac Science is marketing the MTWA Module as an upgrade to its existing installed base of Q-Stress Systems and as an optional feature to new stress customers. However, as discussed in more detail below, from July 2011 until the end of 2011, Cardiac Science has agreed to include the MTWA Module on every new Q-Stress at no incremental charge to its customers.

Table of Contents

Under the Cardiac Science Agreement, we sell and deliver to Cardiac Science the MTWA Module and our Micro-V Alternans Sensors (together, the “Products”) under purchase orders submitted by Cardiac Science. Cardiac Science resells the Products for use with their Q-Stress test platform through its direct sales force and through its network of distributors and sub-distributors. Cardiac Science’s right to resell the Products is non-exclusive. We may continue to sell, distribute and license our MTWA Test and sensors to other distributors and customers in both generic and customized versions. Cardiac Science has primary responsibility for preparing sales and marketing materials and for training its sales and service personnel regarding the Products. We provide clinical and technical training and support to Cardiac Science. In addition, we provide installation training service to each purchaser of a MTWA Module for use on Cardiac Science’s Q-Stress test platform. We also have customary warranty obligations with respect to the Products sold under the Cardiac Science Agreement.

The initial term of the Cardiac Science Agreement expires on June 22, 2014. The term of the Cardiac Science Agreement automatically renews for a one year period unless either party notifies the other of its intention to terminate at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the initial or renewal term. The Cardiac Science Agreement may be terminated by either party in the event that the other party has committed a material breach of its obligations under the Cardiac Science Agreement that has not been cured within 60 days’ written notice from the terminating party, upon the bankruptcy of either party, and upon 12 months prior written notice to the other party.

In November 2009, we completed the prototype development of our MTWA Module, and in February 2010, we completed the product development phase of the MTWA Module. In February 2010, we submitted a 510(k) application for regulatory approval of the MTWA Module with the FDA. In April 2010, we received clearance from the FDA to begin marketing the MTWA Module integrated with the Q-Stress line of stress systems manufactured by Cardiac Science. In late September 2010, the MTWA Module was launched by Cardiac Science. The companies collaborated on extensive marketing and sales initiatives in support of the product launch. While the initial market preparation, product launch and lead generation activities were in line with our expectations, the number of units placed was below our projections. As expected, this trend continued through the second quarter of 2011. We believe that the lack of traction is mainly attributable to organizational changes that occurred within Cardiac Science subsequent to the launch of the MTWA Module. In October 2010, Cardiac Science announced it was being acquired by Opto Circuits (India), which was completed in December 2010. We believe that while Opto Circuits’ purchase of Cardiac Science is strategically positive for the partnership in the long run because it provides Cardiac Science with more financial resources and a broader global reach, the organizational restructuring of Cardiac Science, including extensive personnel changes particularly within sales and marketing, and the merger of Cardiac Science with two subsidiaries of Opto Circuits, resulted in shifts in priorities and focus that negatively impacted sales of our MTWA Module. We believe that these issues are temporary and, as we expected, would require some time in working with Cardiac Science’s new sales and marketing team to refocus selling efforts on our MTWA Module. In July 2011, the Company reached an agreement with Cardiac Science to include the MTWA Module on every new Q-Stress System sale through the end of the year. During this promotional period, the MTWA Module will be supplied to Cardiac Science at no charge and will be included in all new Q-Stress Systems at no incremental cost to the customer. The Company believes that this initiative will significantly increase the placement of MTWA Modules, which it anticipates will provide the basis for future recurring revenue from the sale of its Micro-V Sensors.

We market the HearTwave II System, the CH 2000 Cardiac Stress Test System and our Micro-V Alternans Sensors internationally through independent distributors. In April 2010, the Japanese regulatory authorities cleared our HearTwave II System to be marketed in Japan on a non-exclusive basis by Fukuda Denshi Co LTD. Previously our distribution arrangement with Fukuda Denshi was limited to our CH 2000 Cardiac Stress Test System and our first generation HearTwave System. Effective August 2010, we appointed Mayerick S.A. de S.V. as the exclusive distributor of our HearTwave II System in Mexico. Sales of our HearTwave II System in Mexico will not commence unless and until the necessary regulatory approvals have been received from the Mexican regulatory authorities. The initial term of our distribution arrangement with Mayerick expires on July 31, 2012. We may terminate the distribution arrangement with Mayerick early if Mayerick fails to introduce the HearTwave II System in Mexico for purchase generally by end-users by July 1, 2011 due to reasons within Mayerick’s control or by January 1, 2012 due to any other reason.

Reimbursement Update

In December 2005, CMS released a draft of its NCD, which became final on March 21, 2006. This broad coverage policy allows for payment to physicians for MTWA testing of patients at risk of SCA only when a MTWA Test is performed using the Analytic Spectral Method, which is our patented and proprietary method of analysis. Reimbursement to healthcare providers by Medicare/ Medicaid and third party insurers is critical to the long-term success of our efforts to make the MTWA Test a standard of care for patients at risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmia or sudden cardiac arrest. We estimate that at least one-half of the U.S. patient population that we believe are most likely to benefit from our MTWA Test are at least 65 years old and, therefore, eligible for reimbursement via Medicare. We believe the remaining approximately 50% are covered by private insurers.

In January 2002, Current Procedural Terminology Code 93025, known as a CPT code, became available for use by healthcare providers for filing for reimbursement for the performance of a MTWA Test. This code may be used alone, or in conjunction with other diagnostic cardiovascular tests. This unique CPT code provides a uniform language used by healthcare providers to describe medical services but does not guarantee payment for the test. Coding is used to communicate to third party insurers about services that have been performed for billing purposes and can affect both the coverage decision and amount paid by third party insurers.

Reimbursement rates for services covered by Medicare are determined by reference to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (“MPFS”), and are calculated based on multiple components, including relative value units, conversion factor and geographical adjustment.

Table of Contents

The MPFS rates are updated annually and have resulted in negative updates since 2002. In December 2010, Congress enacted legislation to sustain reimbursement at the 2010 level through December 2011. Effective January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011, the national average Medicare payment amount for a MTWA Test is $200. During 2010, the reimbursement amount for cardiovascular services, including the MTWA Test, was set on a temporary basis throughout the year. In November 2009, CMS issued its final ruling on the MPFS effective January 1, 2010. This ruling set forth a reduction in relative value unit for nearly all cardiovascular services to be phased in over a four-year period. The final rule also included an additional 21% reduction in the conversion factor component of the reimbursement calculations. However, CMS subsequently decided to temporarily maintain the conversion factor at the 2009 level until June 1, 2010. In July 2010, CMS issued a revised MPFS reflecting, among other things, a change in the conversion factor as a result of the Preservation of Access to Care for Medicare Beneficiaries and Pension Relief Act of 2010, which was signed into law on June 25, 2010. This legislation provided for a 2.2% increase to the 2010 MPFS, effective for dates of service June 1, 2010 through November 30, 2010, which set the national average Medicare payment amount for a MTWA Test at $205.31. In November 2010, CMS published their final reimbursement rules for 2011, effective January 1, 2011, which would have resulted in a decrease in reimbursement rates by as much as 30% had Congress not enacted legislation in December 2010 to counter this decrease.

In July 2010, the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) changed the edits associated with MTWA testing, allowing our MTWA Tests to be performed on the same day as several stress procedures. The CMS update removes a previous restriction that substantially limited the reimbursement amount when a patient underwent a MTWA Test on the same day as the patient underwent a standard cardiac stress test, echocardiography stress test, nuclear cardiac stress test, or pulmonary stress test. As a result, effective July 1, 2010, CMS allows full reimbursement for both an MTWA Test and a stress test when both tests are performed during the same patient visit.

In 2005, we received positive reimbursement decisions from Horizon Blue Cross/Blue Shield units in New Jersey, and had payment policies from Blue Cross/Blue Shield in New York, Iowa, Maryland, Washington DC, Delaware, Michigan and South Dakota. In 2006, we received favorable reimbursement decisions from Aetna and Humana, which included the use of our patented algorithm. Additionally, in 2006, we received positive reimbursement decisions from other large private payers including CIGNA Healthcare, Healthcare Service Corporation (HCSC) and WellPoint. In 2008, Premera Blue Cross and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona revised their policies to make Microvolt T-Wave Alternans Testing a covered benefit. In February 2009, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care initiated reimbursement for the MTWA Test. In April 2009, WellPoint revised its coverage policy on MTWA testing from a covered service to a non-covered service. In June 2011, the Company learned that UnitedHealthcare made MTWA testing a covered benefit for its subscribers. We estimate that approximately 6 million high-risk cardiac patients are currently covered for MTWA testing by either Medicare or other commercial health plans in the United States. Typically, private reimbursement coverage for our MTWA Test is available only to those patients who are otherwise indicated for ICD therapy.

Any reduction in reimbursement, material change in indication or reversal of private payer coverage for our MTWA Test may affect the demand for, price of, or utilization of our HearTwave II System, the MTWA Module, or Micro-V Alternans Sensors, any of which may in turn have a material adverse effect on our business.

Recent Clinical Developments

In February 2010, the results of a clinical study were presented at the 29th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Belgian Society of Cardiology in Brussels, Belgium. The study, conducted at Jolimont Hospital in Haine Saint Paul, Belgium, prospectively evaluated MTWA in 73 consecutive patients who met criteria for implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation for primary prevention of SCD. At a mean follow-up time of 39 months, the incidence of arrhythmic events in patients with an abnormal MTWA test was 7.6 times that for patients who tested negative. Sudden cardiac death was 4.8 times more common in those with an abnormal MTWA result.

In July 2010, the first patients were enrolled in our MTWA-CAD study (Evaluation of Microvolt T-Wave Alternans Testing for the Detection of Active Ischemia in Patients with Known or Suspected Coronary Artery Disease). MTWA-CAD is a feasibility study, sponsored by the Company, designed to evaluate MTWA testing for the purpose of detecting active ischemia in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Ischemia is defined as inadequate blood supply to the coronary arteries, which can lead to myocardial infarction or what is commonly referred to as a “heart attack.” Ischemia, a common trigger for arrhythmias, is a well-documented cause of repolarization alternans. Human studies have shown that active ischemia can be associated with visible as well

as microvolt-level T-wave alternans. While MTWA testing is traditionally used to evaluate arrhythmic risk, this known association with ischemia may allow MTWA testing to be used as a diagnostic tool to detect underlying CAD. An estimated 40 million cardiac stress tests in various modalities are performed annually in the United States. We filed a patent application related to ischemia in December of 2009. The MTWA-CAD study will assess the feasibility of this concept by measuring MTWA during routine nuclear stress testing or stress echocardiography with treadmill exercise. This is a feasibility study designed to verify preliminary observations under controlled environments and to generate hypotheses, endpoints, and sample sizes for future investigations. The MTWA-CAD trial is expected to enroll up to 200 patients. We expect the enrollment to be completed by mid-2011 and the full data analysis to be completed by the end of 2011.

In May 2011, new data presented at the Heart Rhythm Society’s 32nd Annual Scientific Sessions in San Francisco confirmed the diagnostic value of MTWA testing in identifying patients at risk of SCA. The pooled analysis of 2,883 patients showed that MTWA is a statistically significant predictor of SCA in patients whose heart muscle is damaged (ejection fraction < 35%), as well as those with more preserved cardiac function (ejection fraction > 35%).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The notes to the financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 include a summary of our significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our financial statements. The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including, when applicable, those related to incentive compensation, revenue recognition, product returns, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, the fair value of preferred stock and warrants, and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The critical accounting policies and the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are consistent with those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 in the section captioned “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

Revenue

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 was $653,577 and $541,705, respectively. Revenue from the sale of our Microvolt T-Wave Alternans products, which we call our Alternans products, was $382,931 during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $471,773 during the same period of 2010, a decrease of 19%. Our Alternans products accounted for 72%

and 71% of total revenue for the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Revenue from the sale of our stress and other products for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 was $181,804 and $158,774, respectively. Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 was $1,311,888 and $1,178,767, respectively. Revenue from the sale of our Microvolt T-Wave Alternans products, which we call our Alternans products, was $757,167 during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $859,640 during the same period of 2010, a decrease of 12%. Our Alternans products accounted for 66% and 64% of total revenue for the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Revenue from the sale of our stress and other products for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 was $452,248 and $421,600, respectively. The decrease in revenue for the 2011 periods continued to reflect a difficult selling climate for medical capital equipment driven by ongoing weakness and uncertainty in economic conditions. Furthermore, on-going financial strain on healthcare service providers resulting from changes in the U.S. healthcare system continued to negatively impact buying decisions. Additionally, our shift in focus to the MTWA Module, to some extent, affected the attention placed on selling the HearTwave II Systems, which contributed to the lower revenue in the second quarter.

Gross Profit

Gross profit, as a percent of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, was 34% and 23%, respectively. Gross profit, as a percent of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, was 28% and 27%, respectively. The decrease in gross profit was due to a charge to increase inventory reserve in June 2011 attributable to a write-down of inventory on hand as of June 30, 2011 related to our MTWA Module in connection with a program with Cardiac Science launched in July 2011 whereby the MTWA Module is provided to Cardiac Science at no charge until December 31, 2011.

Research and Development

Research and development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 was $154,822 and $87,933, respectively, a decrease of 43%. Research and development expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 was $303,217 and $206,989, respectively, a decrease of 32%. The decrease in research and development expense is primarily attributable to the completion of the MTWA Module in the second half of 2010.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 was $1,435,026 and $1,433,272, and $2,885,655 and $2,839,141, respectively, a decrease of 2% on a six-month basis. This decrease was primarily due to less non-cash compensation expense due to the vesting of certain stock options, coupled with lower sales commissions and administrative costs; offset by higher compensation costs. SG&A expense for the 2010 and 2011 three and six month periods included $979,386 and $589,974 and $90,638 and $190,039 in non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, respectively. The decrease in non-cash, stock-based compensation expense is mostly due to the vesting of certain stock options awarded to members of senior management, non-employee directors and a consultant in March 2010 in recognition of a reduction in compensation for 2010 and, as it relates to senior management, in lieu of cash bonuses earned in 2009.

Interest Income/Interest Expense

Interest income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 was $89 and $437 and $147 and $494. Interest expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 was $3,919, $2,356, $5,112 and $4,963, respectively, a decrease of 40% and 3% predominantly due to interest associated with a capital lease.

Net Loss

As a result of the factors described above, the net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $1,397,424 and $2,730,281 compared to $1,371,015 and $2,822,488 in the same periods in 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our financial statements have been prepared on a “going concern basis,” which assumes we will realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. We have experienced recurring losses from operations of $1,367,185 and $1,395,505 and $2,817,523 and $2,725,812 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively. For the first six months of 2011, the net loss we incurred included non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $190,039.

Cash and cash equivalents were $1,591,599 at June 30, 2011, compared to $4,188,215 at December 31, 2010. In addition, we held restricted cash in a standby letter of credit in favor of the landlord as security for our obligations under the facility lease. The original amount of the letter of credit was $500,000 for the first and second lease years and is reduced by $100,000 at the end of each of the second, third and fourth lease years. At December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents included cash held in an operating bank account and cash invested in money market funds. The money market funds are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and, therefore, are classified as cash equivalents. At December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, $400,000 and $300,000, of restricted cash was held in money market funds, respectively.

The overall decrease in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents is primarily due to cash used by operations. The main changes in operating assets and liabilities in 2011 were a decrease in accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, of $113,608, attributable to lower revenue, and an increase in inventory, net of reserve, of $46,005 attributable to minimum quantity purchases of certain inventory items. Due to inventory built up in order to satisfy our contractual obligations to St. Jude Medical, we maintain an inventory reserve, which was $1,091,624 at December 31, 2010 and $1,147,709 at June 30, 2011, mostly due to the uncertainty of realizing the value of any excess inventory. In addition to reserving for excess inventory, in June 2011 the reserve includes a charge attributable to a write-down of inventory related to our MTWA Module in connection with a program with Cardiac Science launched in July 2011 whereby the MTWA Module is provided to Cardiac Science at no charge until December 31, 2011. We do not believe that the inventory that is reserved is exposed to obsolescence risk. Prepaid expenses and other assets at June 30, 2011 decreased $45,966 compared to December 31, 2010 due to fewer deposits and prepayments made to vendors. Accounts payable and accrued expenses at June 30, 2011 decreased $320,263 compared to December 31, 2010 as we made payments on liabilities related to 2010 year-end expenses. As a result of the factors described above, we have incurred negative cash flow from operations of $2,535,895 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. In addition, we have an accumulated deficit at June 30, 2011 of $103,890,809.

We believe that our existing resources and currently projected financial results are sufficient to fund operations into the fourth quarter of 2011. To the extent that sales exceed the projected levels, we may have sufficient resources to fund operations beyond this timeline. Conversely, if we encounter material deviations from our plan including, but not limited to, lower than expected sales to Cardiac Science, lower than expected sales of the HearTwave II Systems and Micro-V Alternans Sensors, our ability to fund operations through the projected timeline will be negatively impacted. Therefore, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt securities to fund operations beyond our projected timeline. However, there can be no assurance that such capital would be available at all, or if available, that the terms of such financing would not be dilutive to other stockholders. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of the Company by our stockholders would be diluted. In addition, the Company may have to issue equity or debt securities that have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our existing securities, including common stock.

If the Company is unable to generate adequate cash flows or obtain sufficient additional funding when needed, the Company may have to take certain actions including, but not limited to, cutting back its operations, selling some or all of its assets, licensing potentially valuable technologies to third parties, and/or ceasing some or all of its operations.

In November 2007, we entered into a definitive agreement with Farley White Management Company, LLC to lease 17,639 usable square feet of office space located at 100-200 Ames Pond Drive, Tewksbury, Massachusetts, which is our current executive and operating facility. The initial lease term is for 62 months with an option to extend the lease for one extension period of five years. The term of the lease commenced February 2008. We were not required to pay rent for the first two months of the initial lease term. Thereafter, the annual base rent for the first, second, third, fourth and fifth years of the initial lease term will be $262,500, $367,776, $377,992, $388,208 and $398,424, respectively, plus our pro-rata share of real estate taxes and property maintenance, in each case over a base year. During the term of our lease, we are required to maintain a standby letter of credit in favor of the landlord as security for the obligations under the lease. The amount of the letter of credit is $500,000 for the first lease year and is reduced by $100,000 at the end of each of the second, third and fourth lease years. The Company first occupied the space in February 2008 and the first and second reductions of the letter of credit in the amounts of $100,000 took place during the first three months of 2010 and 2011, respectively. The landlord for the property was responsible for paying the costs of construction for the interior of the space occupied by us. We are generally responsible for paying for our interior furnishings, telephones, data cabling and equipment. Based on these terms, we account for this agreement as an operating lease.

Under the terms of our license and consulting and technology agreements, we are required to pay royalties on sales of our Alternans products. Minimum license maintenance fees under our license agreement with MIT, which are creditable against royalties otherwise payable for each year, are $10,000 per year through 2013. We are committed to pay an aggregate of $10,000 of such minimum license maintenance fees subsequent to June 30, 2011. In addition, the royalty on net sales related to technologies licensed from third parties and improvements thereon sold or leased by the Company and the monthly royalty under the Amended and Restated Consulting and Technology Agreement between the Company and Richard Cohen were $59,744 and $86,358, at June 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not created, and are not a party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating parts of our business that are not consolidated into our financial statements. We do not have any arrangements or relationships with entities that are not consolidated into our financial statements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We own financial instruments that are sensitive to market risk. At December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, our cash and cash equivalents included money market funds. These funds are currently invested in a government-backed money market fund. Given the relative security and liquidity associated with the money market fund, we do not believe that a change in market rates would have a material negative impact on the value of our investment portfolio. Declines in interests rates over time will, however, reduce our interest income from our investments. We have not had any material exposure to factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes. Although we have implemented policies to preserve our capital, there can be no assurance that the valuation and liquidity of investments are not exposed to some level of risk due to market conditions.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2011. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. The term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or

 

23


Table of Contents

submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
