For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.   PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Interim Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2012 and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management of the Company, these financial statements reflect all material adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for such interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X for smaller reporting companies.  Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

 

Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate such estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses, notes payable, capital leases and derivative liabilities. Fair values for all instruments except for derivative liabilities were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand. The fair value of the Company’s convertible notes payable is estimated based upon the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. The carrying value approximates the fair value of these debt instruments as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 based on rates charged being consistent with current market rates available to the Company.

 

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NaturalNano, Inc. (“NaturalNano” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary NaturalNano Research, Inc. (“NN Research”) a Delaware corporation. As of April 20, 2010 the consolidated financial statements reflect the acquisition of a 51% controlling interest in Combotexs, LLC, (“Combotexs”), a privately held New York limited liability company, pursuant to the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement executed with Worldwide Medical Solutions LLC (“WMS”) (Refer to Note 3).  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Description of the Business

NaturalNano (the “Company”), located in Pittsford, New York, is engaged in the development and commercialization of material science technologies with an emphasis on additives to polymers and other industrial and consumer products by taking advantage of technology advances developed in-house. The Company’s current activities are directed toward research, development, production and marketing of its proprietary technologies relating to the treatment and separation of nanotubes from halloysite clay and the development of related commercial applications for:

 

  · cosmetics, health and beauty products
  · polymers, plastics and composites

 

Combotexs was a technology company organized on October 28, 2009 that marketed Error Prevention/Safety Checklist Boards and Safety Training to hospitals and other industries such as healthcare, petrochemical and mining.  Combotexs also had certain marketing and distribution agreements for various household products.  The Company acknowledges the acquisition of Combotexs as a short term source for revenue, cash flow and a method of incorporating nanotubes found in halloysite clay into Combotexs products.

 

7
 

 

During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company determined that the relationship with Combotexs was not operating in the manner it was intended. The sales were not to the volume expected and the continued operations, as structured, were not sustainable. During the month of December, the board of directors authorized the Company CEO to wind down the operations of Combotexs resulting in a write down of assets and the inventory revalued and assumed by NaturalNano. No further activity will occur with Combotexs beyond December 31, 2011 and the entity is expected to be legally dissolved in 2012.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company entered into a supply agreement with another company, which is 50% owned by NaturalNano’s CEO, to manufacture and sell Error Prevention/Safety Checklist Boards which the related party will then market to the end user. NaturalNano will continue to outsource the manufacture of the boards to a third-party and then re-sell them to the new company. Accordingly, the Company will still have continuing cash flows from the business in 2012 and beyond.

 

NaturalNano is domiciled in the state of Nevada as a result of the merger with Cementitious Materials, Inc., (“CMI”), which was completed on November 29, 2005. 

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

Going Concern – The accompanying 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 consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 of $272,234 and had negative working capital of $5,599,441 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $5,608,510 at March 31, 2012. Since inception the Company’s growth has been funded through a combination of convertible debt from private investors and from cash advances from its former parent and majority shareholder Technology Innovations, LLC. 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 continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, to obtain additional financing, renegotiate the terms of existing financing obligations and ultimately to attain successful operations. The ability to successfully achieve those items is uncertain.

 

As of March 31, 2012, the Company continued to require waivers for debt covenant violations and extensions of maturity dates. Refer to Note 2 for lenders waivers and maturity extensions received from the lenders.

 

QETC rebate for fiscal year ended December 31, 2009

The QETC tax rebate for 2009 had been in audit since its filing in September of 2010. The Company received notice in March 2011 that the audit was complete and that the rebate for 2009 would be for $60,073. NaturalNano received the first payment of $43,615 in March of 2011 and that amount was reflected in the financial statements for the first quarter of 2011. The Company received the final payment of $16,458 on April 14, 2011 and that amount was reflected in the financial statements for the second quarter of 2011. These amounts were reflected as a reduction of general and administrative expenses. 2010 was the last year the Company was eligible to receive QETC rebates so no further payments are expected.

 

 Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share gives effect to dilutive convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, options and warrants outstanding during the period. Shares to be issued upon the exercise of these instruments have not been included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive based on the net loss incurred.

 

As of March 31, 2012 there were 1,567,816,126 shares underlying preferred stock, convertible debt, outstanding options and warrants that could potentially dilute future earnings. These potentially dilutive shares have been limited by certain debt and equity agreements with Platinum, Platinum Advisors, Longview and Technology Innovations LLC (“TI”). These agreements provide limitations on the conversion of the dilutive instruments such that the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the holder upon conversion of such instruments shall be limited to ensure that following such conversion the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the holder does not exceed 4.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

2.  DEBT AGREEMENTS

 

As of March 31, 2012 the Company had $3,658,336 in principal that was outstanding and past due under the terms of the Senior Secured Convertible Notes and Promissory Notes with Platinum Partners Long Term Growth IV (“Platinum”), Platinum Advisors and Longview Special Financing, Inc. (“Longview”). The Company entered into various Senior Secured Convertible Notes and Promissory Note obligations during the period from 2007 through 2012 with Platinum, Platinum Advisors and Longview, the holders of the Company’s primary debt obligations since 2007. The outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest on these obligations was due and payable in full on various dates between March 6, 2009 and April 16, 2012. Platinum and Platinum Advisors have granted waivers of default, extended the due dates of all the outstanding principal balances to July 1, 2012, and waived the application of the 16% default interest rate. Additionally Platinum and Platinum Advisors waived the automatic adjustment of the conversion rate for past and future S-8 stock issuances made for compensation and payments of services. In consideration for their forbearance, Platinum Advisors will be paid $125,000 which will be added to the principle balance of the note. This forbearance will be considered and accounted for as a modification of debt and a loss of $125,000 for the three months ending June 30, 2012 and reported in the statement of operations. By way of two separate forbearance agreements dated January 1, 2012 and April 16, 2012, Longview has granted waivers of default, extended the due dates of all the outstanding principal balances to July 1, 2012, and waived the application of the 16% default interest rate. Additionally, Longview waived the automatic adjustment of the conversion rate for past and future S-8 stock issuances made for compensation and payments of services. In consideration for their forbearance, Longview will be paid $50,000 each for the forbearance which will be added to the principle balance of the note. These forbearance amounts will be considered and accounted for as a modification of debt and a loss of $50,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012 respectively and reported in the statement of operations.

 

The Convertible Note discussed above matures and all outstanding principal is due and payable on July 1, 2012.

 

On February 10, 2012, the Company borrowed $25,000 from Platinum. These promissory notes were pursuant to the terms of the Senior Secured Promissory Note. Both the notes bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum and are due and payable on June 1, 2012.

 

On March 5, 2012, the Company borrowed $12,000 from Platinum. These promissory notes were pursuant to the terms of the Senior Secured Promissory Note. Both the notes bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum and are due and payable on June 1, 2012.

 

During the first three months of 2012, the Company issued 29,400,000 and 124,444,200 shares of common stock to Platinum in payment of $147,000 of interest expense obligations and $622,221 of principal obligations, respectively, on the Senior Secured Convertible Notes. In accordance with the debt agreement, these shares were issued to Platinum using a conversion price of $0.005 per common share.

 

As of March 1, 2011 the Company had $225,000 in principal that was outstanding and due under the terms of the 10% Subordinated Secured Convertible Promissory Agreement (the “Convertible Note”) with Cape One Financial LP (“Cape One”). On March 15, 2011 the Company and Cape One entered into a forbearance agreement which altered the due date of the Convertible Note from March 1, 2011 to June 30, 2011.  As consideration for this forbearance, Cape One will be paid $30,000 which was added to the principal balance of the note.  In addition, the interest rate on the outstanding amount during the forbearance period will be adjusted from 10% to 18%. The forbearance agreement was considered and accounted for as a modification of debt and resulted in a loss of $30,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 reported in the statement of operations. Effective June 30, 2011, the Company and Cape One entered into a forbearance agreement which altered the due date of the Convertible Note from June 30, 2011 to October 1, 2011. Effective September 30, 2011, the Company and Cape One entered into another forbearance agreement which altered the due date of the Convertible note from October 1, 2011 to November 22, 2011. As consideration for this forbearance, Cape One will be paid $30,000 which will be added to the principal balance of the note. This forbearance agreement was considered and accounted for as a modification of debt and resulted in a loss of $30,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 reported in the statement of operations. Effective January 17, 2012, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement which extends the due date of all the outstanding principal and interest balances to April 16, 2012.  As consideration for this forbearance, Cape One will be paid $25,000 which will be added to the principle balance of the note. The forbearance agreement was considered and accounted for as modification of debt and a loss of $25,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2012 and reported in the statement of operations. Effective April 16, 2012, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement which extends the due date of all the outstanding principal and interest balances to July 01, 2012. 

 

During the first three months of 2011, the Company issued 8,910,000 and 6,000,000 shares of common stock to Cape One in payment of $44,500 of interest obligations and $30,000 of principal obligations, respectively, on the Convertible Note. In accordance with the debt agreement, these shares were issued to Cape One using a conversion price of $0.005 per common share.

Registration Rights Agreement

On March 7, 2007, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Agent and the other investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to prepare and file within 60 days of the March 7, 2007 agreement, a registration statement for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, in payment of interest on, or upon conversion of, the Notes. The Company further agreed to use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective 120 days following the March 7, 2007 agreement date, or within 150 days if the Company receives a comment letter from the SEC, and to maintain such Registration Statement for the two year period following this date. This agreement allows for liquidated damages based on a daily amount of 0.0333% of the principal amount of the notes relating to the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes included in the Registration Statement.

 

As of March 31, 2012, the registration statement had not been updated with the requisite SEC filings and as such, the Company was in default of this provision of the Registration Rights Agreement. The lenders have provided the Company forbearance agreements related to this default through July 1, 2012. The Company recorded a total of $146,028 in such liquidated damages as of December 17, 2007, the date the registration statement was declared effective. As of December 31, 2007, $63,539 of this obligation was paid in cash and $82,489 was recorded as an accrued liability. The lender has the option to settle the liquidated damages in common stock valued at the average price for the five days prior to the end of a payment period. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 the outstanding balance for this obligation was $82,489.

 

 3.  51% ACQUISITION of COMBOTEXS, LLC

 

On April 20, 2010 the Company acquired a 51% interest in Combotexs, LLC, (“Combotexs”), a privately held   New York   limited liability company, pursuant to the terms of an Equity Purchase Agreement executed with Worldwide Medical Solutions LLC (“WMS”) the sole member of Combotexs. Combotexs is a technology company that has had minimal revenue since its inception in October 2009 and markets Error Prevention/Safety Checklist Boards and Safety Training to hospitals and other industries such as healthcare, petrochemical and mining. The Company acknowledges the acquisition of Combotexs as a short term source for revenue, cash flow and a method of incorporating nanotubes found in halloysite clay into Combotexs products.

 

As a result of the changes in the relationship with Combotexs, the carrying values of the related assets as of December 31, 2011 were evaluated. Certain inventory was sold to the related party, certain demonstration inventory was written off resulting in a $36,875 charge to cost of goods sold, and future cash flows were determined to be inestimable and as a result, the Goodwill was impaired to $0 value resulting in an impairment loss of $80,332 during the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company entered into a supply agreement with another company, which is 50% owned by NaturalNano’s CEO, to manufacture and sell Error Prevention/Safety Checklist Boards which the related party will then market to the end user. NaturalNano will continue to outsource the manufacture of the boards to a third-party and then re-sell them to the new company. Accordingly, the Company will still have continuing cash flows from the business in 2012 and beyond.

4.     SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. The Company’s reportable segments are organized, managed and internally reported separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies. The Company currently has two operating segments, Nanotechnology and Medical Boards.  A summary of the two segments is as follows:

 

Nanotechnology

 

Research, development, production and marketing of its proprietary technologies relating to the treatment and separation of nanotubes from halloysite clay and the development of related commercial applications for cosmetics, health and beauty products and polymers, plastics and composites. 
   
Medical Boards Production of Error Prevention/Safety Checklist Boards for sale to a related party.

 

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies of the Company.  The Company accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market prices. The Company relies on intersegment cooperation and management does not represent that these segments, if operated independently, would report the results contained herein.  For purposes of determining segment loss, corporate overhead is primarily included in NaturalNano, other than direct expense of Combotexs.  Approximate information concerning the Company’s operations by reportable segment as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012 is as follows:

Fair Value Valuation Hierarchy Measurement

ASC 820 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows.

 

  · Level 1 input are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  · Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
  · Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.

 

A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The derivative liabilities are measured at fair value using certain estimated factors such as volatility and probability and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The following table provides a roll forward of the liabilities carried at fair value measured using significant unobservable inputs (level 3).

 

   For the three months ended 
   March 31, 
   2012   2011 
Fair value – beginning  $21,658   $76,667 
Loss (gain) recognized in Q1   -    67,914

6.  STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

 

On January 3, 2011, Mr. Jim Wemett was awarded 15,000,000 warrant shares, each warrant share grants the right to purchase one share of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.01 per warrant share, vesting over three years. The warrants expire January 3, 2016 and contain a cashless exercise provision. The fair value of the warrant on the date of grant was determined using the Black-Scholes model and was measured on the date of grant at $34,879. An expected volatility assumption of 150% has been used based on the volatility of the Company’s stock price utilizing a look-back basis and the risk-free interest rate of 3.36% has been derived from the U.S. treasury yield. The market price of the Company’s common stock on January 3, 2011 was $0.0028 per share. The expiration date used in the valuation model aligns with the warrant life of five years. The dividend yield was assumed to be zero. The fair value of the warrant will be recorded monthly over the 36 month life of the warrant. During the first quarter of 2011 and 2012, the Company recorded $2,907 of expense, respectively, for the vested portion of the warrant.

 

The Company issued 29,400,000 and 124,444,200 shares of common stock to Platinum in payment of $147,000 of interest expense obligations and $622,221 of principal obligations, respectively, on the Senior Secured Convertible Notes.

8.  CONTINGENCIES

 

Legal Proceedings

 

On March 24, 2009 the Company received a demand notice from an attorney representing a group of certain former employees of the Company, including but not limited to the Company’s former President and Chief Financial Officer, demanding immediate payment of

 

13
 

 

$331,265 for certain deferred compensation, severance and vacation benefits. Each of the former employees cited in the demand notice, as well as other former employees, had executed written agreements during 2008 that allowed the Company to defer certain of these compensation payments. The Company has accrued for earned and unused vacation benefits and deferred payroll costs for amounts electively deferred by these and other former employees as of December 31, 2009. The Company has retained counsel in connection with this demand and continues to evaluate this demand notice and has responded to this demand. No actions or probable settlement discussions between the parties have developed since the filing of this demand. Due to the Company’s current cash and liquidity position discussed above and the current evaluation of the items in the demand notice the timing of future payment of these outstanding amounts is uncertain. No further communication has been had regarding this notice. 

 

During the third quarter ending September 30, 2010, two former employees, one involved in the March 24, 2009 demand, agreed to forgive the Company’s liability to them of $54,691 related to deferred compensation in exchange for shares of common stock.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports that we file with the SEC contain statements that are considered forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These include statements about our expectations, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend” and similar expressions. Such forward looking statements include statements addressing operating performance, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will occur in the future, including statements relating to revenue realization, revenue growth, earnings, earnings per share, or similar projections. These statements estimates involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed for the reasons described in this report. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

 

You should be aware that our actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors such as:

 

  · the ability to raise capital to fund our operations until we generate adequate cash flow internally;
  · the terms and timing of product sales and licensing agreements;
  · our ability to enter into strategic partnering and joint development agreements;
  · our ability to competitively market our controlled release and filled tube products;
  · the successful implementation of research and development programs;
  · our ability to attract and retain key personnel ;
  · general market conditions.

 

Our actual results may differ materially from management’s expectations. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements included herewith.  This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue in the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating performance in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.

 

The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

 

General

Our primary mission is to develop and exploit technologies in the area of advanced materials science, with an emphasis on additives to industrial and consumer products, taking advantage of technological advances we have developed in-house. These technologies include a specific focus on nanoscale materials using modifications to tubular and spherical materials found in clay. Our strategy is to develop patentable processes and technologies related to these nanoscale materials and to develop products in the polymers and plastics industries as well as the composites, cosmetics, household products and agrichemical industries. In our other area of focus, the Company will design, manufacture and sell customer designed error prevention/safety checklist boards to a related party which markets and sells the boards.

 

NaturalNano is domiciled in the state of Nevada as a result of the merger with Cementitious Materials, Inc. (“CMI”), which was completed on November 29, 2005.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and Going Concern

Going Concern – The accompanying 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 consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 of $272,234 and had negative working capital of $5,599,441 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $5,608,510 at March 31, 2012. Since inception the Company’s growth has been funded through a combination of convertible debt from private investors and from cash advances from its former parent and majority shareholder Technology Innovations, LLC. 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 continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, to obtain additional financing, renegotiate the terms of existing financing obligations and ultimately to attain successful operations. The ability to successfully achieve those items is uncertain.

 

15
 

 

As of March 31, 2012, the Company had $3,658,336 in principal that was outstanding and past due under the terms of the Senior Secured Convertible Notes and Promissory Notes with Platinum Partners Long Term Growth IV (“Platinum”), Platinum Advisors and Longview Special Financing, Inc. (“Longview”). The Company entered into various Senior Secured Convertible Notes and Promissory Note obligations during the period from 2007 through 2010 with Platinum, Platinum Advisors and Longview, the holders of the Company’s primary debt obligations since 2007. The outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest on these obligations was due and payable in full on various dates between March 6, 2009 and January 1, 2011. Platinum and Platinum Advisors have granted waivers of default, extended the due dates of all the outstanding principal balances to July 1, 2012, and waived the application of the 16% default interest rate. Additionally Platinum and Platinum Advisors waived the automatic adjustment of the conversion rate for past and future S-8 stock issuances made for compensation and payments of services. Longview has granted waivers of default, extended the due dates of all the outstanding principal balances to July 1, 2012, and waived the application of the 16% default interest rate. Additionally, Longview waived the automatic adjustment of the conversion rate for past and future S-8 stock issuances made for compensation and payments of services.

 

As of March 31, 2012 the Company had $235,000 in principal that was outstanding and due under the terms of the Convertible Note with Cape One. Through a series of forbearance agreements, the Convertible Note matures and all outstanding principal is due and payable on July 1, 2012.

 

As of March 31, 2012, the Company continued to require waivers for debt covenant violations and extensions of maturity dates. Refer to Note 2 for lenders waivers and maturity extensions received from the lenders.

 

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $38,732 and $45,554, respectively. Cash used 2012 versus 2011 was slightly lower year over year as a result of the strict management of cash. The net loss generated in the first three months of 2012 was $6,881 less than the prior year period.  The Company continues to actively monitor spending and cash outflows in an effort to reduce costs until continuing revenue sources are developed. The Company is actively seeking opportunities to continue to reduce expenses and improve its liquidity position. We expect that total consolidated spending in 2012 to be equal if not slightly less than the 2011 levels, although we will continue to invest in product and commercialization efforts as our cash position and liquidity allow.

 

Total adjustments to reconcile the net loss incurred to the cash used in operations aggregated $109,727 in the first three months of 2012 versus $155,710 in first three months of 2011. The change in these non-cash items reflects decreases in adjustment costs for the derivative liabilities offset by the increase in conversions of interest into common stock by lenders on a year over year basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company recognized non-cash expenses of $0 and $5,614, respectively, for amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the senior secured convertible debt and 10% subordinate secured convertible debt. Additionally, for the first three months of 2012 the Company recognized a loss adjustment to derivatives of $0 and for the same period of 2011 a loss of $67,914, a net decrease of $67,914.

 

Investing activities

No cash was used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2012 or 2011.

 

Financing Activities

Net cash provided from financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $37,000 and $51,500, respectively. The cash flows from financing activities in the three months of 2011 were the receipt of an aggregate of $37,000 in proceeds from Platinum Long Term Growth IV. The cash flows from financing activities in the three months of 2011 were a receipt of $1,500 in proceeds from a non-interest bearing Unsecured Promissory Note with the CEO, $35,000 in proceeds from Longview Special Finance and $15,000 in proceeds from Platinum Long Term Growth IV.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.

Comparison of Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

 

Revenue and Gross Profit

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded $43,523 and $76,274, respectively in consolidated revenue. First quarter 2012 revenue included $31,273 from shipments of Nanotechnology products and $12,250 from Medical Board products. Consolidated cost of goods sold was $7,749 and $21,956 for the shipments completed in the respective quarters. Gross margin of $35,774 and $54,318 was realized for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

The reduction in the Medical Boards sales year over year is a result of the reduction of sales staff for the medical checklist boards business in addition to the changes to the relationship with Combotexs and the new supply agreement with the related party. Gross margin realized in the three months ended March 31, 2012 was 82% compared to 71% for three months ended March 31, 2011. The variance is attributable to the increase in shipments of Nanotechnology products, which have a higher margin, over Medical Board products which have a much lower margin. The Company expects that it will experience significant variations in gross margins with its Nanotechnology products as it continues to introduce to market and develop new products and related applications.  The Company expects that competitive pricing will be a continuing challenge as new products are developed and introduced and product acceptance and the Company’s production reputation develops.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $39,385 compared to $44,281 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The reduction in costs is attributed to the negotiated reduction in rent for the Emerson Street facility in addition to the reduction in depreciation due to the life of several long lived assets.

 

   For the three months ended   Variance 
   March 31,   increase 
Research and Development  2012   2011   (decrease)

Total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $95,275 as compared to expenses of $95,340 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The slight decrease is a result of a combination of activities that changed year over year. There is only one employee in 2012 as opposed to three in 2011 thus reducing salaries and benefits; there is only one external board member in 2012 as opposed to three in 2011 which reduces the shareholder and board expense. These items are offset by the 2011 receipt of the New York State tax credit/refund ($43,615) which partially offset the 2011 costs of recertifying the Company’s legal status in the state of Nevada for the prior three years ($9,935). Management continues to actively assess the Company’s operating structure with the objective align cash expenditures and expenses with growth in total revenue.

During the first quarter of 2009 and in accordance with EITF 07-05, certain warrants and the embedded conversion of feature associated with the 8% convertible debt were recognized as derivative instruments and as such were re-characterized as derivative liabilities.

The re-measurement of these derivative liabilities resulted in a loss of $0 in the first quarter of 2012 and a loss of $67,914 during the first quarter of 2011.

Item 4. - Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer has 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 amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based on this evaluation, and in light of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 our Chief Executive Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The material weaknesses consist of an insufficient complement of qualified accounting personnel and controls associated with segregation of duties and ineffective controls associated with identifying and accounting for complex and non-routine transactions in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The Company did not maintain a sufficient complement of qualified accounting personnel and controls associated with the segregation of duties were ineffective. During the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first half of 2009 the Company experienced the resignations in the positions of controller, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer. These roles have been filled since the first quarter of 2009 by part time and contract staffing. To address the material weaknesses the Company performed additional analyses and other post-closing procedures to ensure our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, result of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

There can be no assurance, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
