BIOCORAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2012
(UNAUDITED)
 
Note 1 – Description of Business
 
Biocoral, Inc. (“Biocoral”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 4, 1992. Biocoral is a holding company that conducts its operations primarily through its wholly-owned European subsidiaries. Biocoral, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, are referred to collectively herein as the “Company.”

The Company’s operations consist primarily of development, manufacturing and marketing of patented high technology biomaterials, bone substitute materials made from coral, and other orthopedic, oral and maxillo-facial products, including products marketed under the trade name of Biocoral.  Most of the Company’s operations are conducted from Europe. The Company has obtained regulatory approvals to market its products throughout Europe, Canada and certain other countries. The Company owns various patents for its products which have been registered and issued in the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia and various countries throughout Europe. However, the Company has not applied for the regulatory approvals needed to market its products in the United States.
 
Note 2 – Liquidity
 
The Company had net losses of approximately $1,206,000 and $591,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $1,902,000 and $1,571,000 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The Company also had a stockholders' deficiency of approximately $4,128,000 and $3,140,000 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as described in independent registered public accounting firm's report on the financial statements of our company for the year ended December 31, 2011 as filed on May 7, 2012. To address this issue, in December 2011, the Company refinanced its debt with existing creditors, and issued new 7% Non-Convertible debentures, maturing December 31, 2014 in the amount of $4,000,000, containing 400,000 detachable warrants (See Note 8).

On February 17, 2012, the Company sold an additional Unit of its new series of 7% Non-Convertible Notes payable consisting of one 7% Non-Convertible three-year promissory Note of the Company, due December 31, 2014 in the amount of $100,000, and 10,000 detachable warrants to "accredited investors".  On September 30, 2012, the Company sold an additional Unit of its new series of 7% Non-Convertible Notes payable.  These transactions increased the outstanding amount of long-term notes payable to $4,200,000 and the number of warrants to 420,000 respectively.  The Company will seek additional financing of approximately $2,000,000 and will seek additional working capital and pursue strategic alliances with well capitalized entities to improve our financial condition.

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
(A) Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
 
7

 
 
(B) Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Biocoral, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
(C) Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  For further information, read the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed on May 7, 2012. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the full year.
 
(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers cash on hand, cash in banks, certificates of deposit, time deposits and other short term securities with maturities of three months or less when purchased as cash and cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents held by the Company at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
 
(E) Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across geographic areas around the world. However, all trade accounts receivable are concentrated in the health care sector. The Company does not currently see a concentrated credit risk associated with these receivables, even though repayment is dependent upon the financial stability of this industry and the respective country's national economies.
 
(F) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The Company estimates uncollectible trade accounts receivable by analyzing historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
 
(G) Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on the First-in, First-out ("FIFO") method. The products are manufactured from our production site in Saint Gonnery, France. Work in process and finished goods inventories consist of raw material costs, direct labor costs and manufacturing overhead costs. The Company maintains a minimum production level during certain low demand periods which results in increases in inventories.
 
 
8

 
 
(H) Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are twenty-five years for building and building improvements, two to twelve years for equipment and furnishings and one year for computer software. Normal maintenance and repairs of property and equipment are expensed as incurred, while renewals, betterments and major repairs that materially extend the useful lives of the property and equipment are capitalized.

Patent costs, net, are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and allowance for loss on impairment.  Amortization is computed using the straight line method over the shorter of the life of the patent or the estimated useful life of the technology, which ranges from 10 to 20 years.

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including patent costs, for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered.  In such circumstances, the Company will estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.  Future cash flows are the future cash inflows expected to be generated by an asset less the future outflows expected to be necessary to obtain those inflows.  If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company will recognize an impairment loss to adjust to the fair value of the asset. Expected future cash flows associated with these patents are dependent on the entity’s ability to generate sufficient funds from operations or equity or debt financing to continue to maintain such patents.
 
(J) Investment in Limited Partnership
 
The Company owns an approximate 9.3% interest in Bensenville Associates Ltd., a limited partnership, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the initial investment is recorded at cost. Subsequently, the investment is increased or decreased for the Company's pro-rata share of the partnership's income and losses. The Company's share of the loss in the partnership for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $8,295 and the book value of the investment at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $0. The Company is not responsible for losses in excess of its investment. Therefore, none of the losses for the periods ended September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
(K) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and others”, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. In such circumstances, the Company will estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Future cash flows are the future cash inflows expected to be generated by an asset less the future outflows expected to be necessary to obtain those inflows. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company will recognize an impairment loss to adjust to the fair value of the asset.
 
(L) Provision for Income Taxes
 
The company accounts for deferred taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes". Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

(M) Revenue Recognition
 
Sales are recognized when the earnings process is complete and collectability is reasonably assured, which is usually when the goods are shipped to customers. Amounts billed related to shipping and handling are included in revenue.

 (N) Advertising
 
Advertising costs, which are not material, are expensed as incurred.
 
(O) Shipping and Handling Costs
 
Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales in accordance with guidance established by the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Costs". During the periods ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, there were no material shipping and handling costs.
 
(P) Research and Development
 
Research and development costs, which are not material, are expensed as incurred.
 
(Q) Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation–Stock Compensation”, which requires us to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards exchanged for employee services and recognize compensation cost based on this fair value over the requisite service period.
 
With respect to stock-based compensation granted to non-employees, the Company records an expense equal to the fair value of the security on the measurement date, which is the earlier of the date at which a commitment for performance is reached or the date at which the service is complete.
 
(R) Net Loss Per Share Data
 
The Company presents basic and diluted net loss per share pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share". Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net earnings for the period by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period (if dilutive). Common share equivalents include stock options, warrants and other convertible securities (if dilutive). For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the total of 420,000 warrants (see Note 8) were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share since their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

(S) Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
 
The functional currency of Biocoral France SAS, the Company's principal operating subsidiary, is the Euro. The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. Biocoral France assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at period end exchange rates ($1.2855 and $1.2949 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively). Biocoral France revenues and expenses are translated into United States dollars at weighted average exchange rates ($1.2872 and $1.4157 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively). Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is a separate component of stockholders' deficiency.

The change in cumulative translation adjustments during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the year December 31, 2011 was as follows:
 
   
September 30,
   
December 31,

    (Unaudited)

Translation adjustments for the period
    72,377       41,910  
Ending accumulated translation adjustments
  $ (7,944 )   $ (80,321 )
 
 (T) Comprehensive Loss
 
The foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements of Biocoral France expressed in Euros to United States dollars are reported as other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
 
(U) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments when it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued interest payable, approximate fair value at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, due to the relatively short maturity of the instruments. Short-term notes and long-term notes payable approximates fair value based upon debt terms available for similar entities under similar terms.
 
(V) Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(W) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.  The objective of this pronouncement is to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. When effective, ASU 2011-05 will help financial statement users better understand the causes of an entity's change in financial position and results of operations.  Management does not feel that the adoption of this update will have a substantial impact on the financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2010-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment (Topic 350). The objective of this update is to simplify how entities, both public and non-public, test goodwill for impairment. The amendments in the update permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 per cent. Previous guidance under Topic 350 required an entity to test goodwill for impairment, on at least an annual basis, by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill (step one). If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount,
then the second step of the test must be performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Under the amendments in this update, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. Management does not believe that the adoption of this update will have a substantial impact on the financial statements.

Certain other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management will have, a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

On December 31, 2011, the loan balance of $900,317 due to a note holder along with accrued interest of $99,683 was converted to the Company’s new 7% non-convertible note payable due December 31, 2014 (See Note 8).

Note 8 – Long-Term Notes Payable

The long-term notes payable ($4,200,000 and $4,000,000 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively) are due to “accredited investors”, bear interest at 7% per annum, are unsecured, and are due on December 31, 2014.

On December 15, 2011, the board of directors authorized the Company to offer a maximum of 60 units of a new series of 7% Non-Convertible Promissory Notes in the amount of $6,000,000 due December 31, 2014 and to exchange the 7% Non-Convertible Notes payable due December 31, 2012 with the new 7% Non-Convertible Notes payable due December 31, 2014.

Each Unit of the new series of 7% Non-Convertible Notes payable consists of one 7% Non-Convertible three-year Promissory Note of the Company, due December 31, 2014 in the amount of $100,000, and 10,000 detachable warrants.

Each warrant gives the holder the right to purchase 1 (one) share of Biocoral, Inc. common stock at a price of $12.00 per share exercisable at any time during the term of the Units.

On December 31, 2011, the Company reached an agreement with holders of the $3,000,000 of convertible notes due December 31, 2012 to exchange such debt for the new 7% Non-Convertible Notes due December 31, 2014.

On December 31, 2011, the Company also reached an agreement with one of the Company short-term lenders to convert $900,317 of short-terms notes payable and $99,683 accrued interest to 10 Units of the Company’s new 7% Non-Convertible Promissory Notes due December 31, 2014 (See Note 7).

On February 17, 2012, the Company sold an additional Unit of its new series of 7% Non-Convertible Notes payable consisting of one 7% Non-Convertible three-year promissory Note of the Company, due December 31, 2014 in the amount of $100,000, and 10,000 detachable warrants to "accredited investors".  On September 30, 2012, the Company sold an additional Unit of its new series of 7% Non-Convertible Notes payable.  These transactions increased the outstanding amount of long-term notes payable to $4,200,000 and the number of warrants to 420,000.

The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

The Company has a consulting agreement with its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) which provides for annual compensation of $150,000 per annum and reimbursement of certain expenses. In addition, the agreement provides the CEO two years' compensation if control of the Company changes. The agreement has been renewed for two or three year additions since 1997, and has been extended to August 31, 2014.

On March 31, 2008, the chief executive officer exercised 90,000 stock options (of the 100,000 granted to him on December 21, 2004) at a price of $10.00 per share, or $900,000 in total, in exchange for a $900,000 reduction of unpaid consulting fees due to officer. The chief executive officer has advised the Company that he will not seek cash payment of the unpaid consulting fees and most of the unreimbursed travel and other expenses until after September 30, 2013.
 
Effective December 31, 2011, the Company committed to issue 50,000 shares of Company common stock to the chief executive officer in satisfaction of $600,000 of the amount due to officer.  The closing trading price of the common stock on December 31, 2011 was $12.00 per share.
 
Note 10 – Income Taxes
 
At December 31, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $13,678,000 available to reduce future federal taxable income, which, if not used, will expire at various dates through December 31, 2031.  These net operating loss carry forwards create a deferred tax asset of approximately $4,787,000.  At December 31, 2011, there were no other material differences between amounts used for financial reporting purposes and tax reporting purposes.  Since it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize a benefit from these net operating loss carry forwards, a 100% valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce the deferred tax asset to its net realizable value.

Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies
 
Leases
 
In July 2009, the Company entered into a rental agreement for its new office, which is located in La Garenne-Colombes (near Paris, France). The operating lease expiring on June 30, 2012 was extended with the same terms and conditions for one additional period of three years. The operating lease was extended to June 30, 2015 with an automatic extension with the same terms and conditions for an additional period of three years. Under the initial lease, the annual rent was $25,783 (€20,500 Euros) excluding VAT. On April 1, 2010 this lease was amended for an annual rent of $22,930 (€18,232 Euros) excluding VAT. Rent expense associated with this lease for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $21,100 and $31,700, respectively. This agreement is transferable and can be cancelled with six months notice before each of the renewal dates.
 
At September 30, 2012, total minimum rentals under this operating lease with an initial or remaining term of one year or more is as follows:

Legal Proceedings
 
From time to time, the Company is party to legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of business. We accrue for these items as losses become probable and can be reasonably estimated. While the results of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Forward-Looking Statements

In this quarterly report, we include some forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause our operational and financial activity and results to differ from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In many cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "plan," "intend," and "continue," or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future expectations, contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial condition, or state other "forward-looking" information.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The section captioned "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operations," as well as any cautionary language in this quarterly report, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Because of the risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this quarterly report might not occur.
 
You should read the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this report and in conjunction with our discussion and analysis in our audited annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 which we filed on May 7, 2012.
 
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, property and equipment, stock based compensation and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed 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 assumptions and bases for estimates used in preparing our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are set forth as significant accounting policies in Note 3 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report and are summarized below:
 
Patent costs. Patent costs consist of legal fees paid to various patent attorneys related to successful world-wide patent applications. The patent costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the patent or the estimated useful life of the technology, which ranges from 10 to 20 years.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.  We estimate uncollectibility of trade accounts receivable by analyzing historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.  We consider these factors to be the best available indicators of the likelihood of collection of trade accounts receivable.  However, they are subject to uncertainty, and collectibility cannot be precisely determined.
 
Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011.

As discussed below, our operations are conducted outside the United States of America. The functional currency of our French subsidiary is the Euro and not the US Dollar.  However, our financial statements, as well as the following discussion regarding our results of operations are expressed in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, part of the variance in revenues and expenses discussed below is due to the fluctuating exchange rates in addition to the other factors discussed.
 
Net sales, which are solely attributable to our wholly-owned French subsidiary, totalled approximately $149,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of approximately $59,800, or 29% from approximately $208,800 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This decrease is primarily attributable to lower unit sales of our bone substitute products in 2012 due to weak economic conditions in Europe.  Sales prices remained substantially the same in 2012 compared to 2011.  A lower Euro exchange rate in 2012 accounted for approximately $14,900 (or approximately 25%) of the $59,800 decrease.

Cost of sales were approximately $223,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of approximately $72,100, or 48%, from approximately $151,600 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The gross profit (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and 2011 was approximately ($74,600)  and $57,200 or 27%, respectively. The decrease in our gross margin during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily due to lower absorption of manufacturing overhead in 2012.  In addition, the company added a provision for slower moving inventories for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 in the amount of approximately $57,800, in which reflects the diminished value of its inventory due to lower sales during certain periods.  The Company continues regular production of its products despite the slow movement of inventory during these periods and adds this provision accordingly to reflect the diminished value. The diminution in value is actually a reflection of the age of the inventory and the cost of sterilization requirements.

Consulting and professional fees were approximately $151,500 for the Nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of approximately $4,900, or 3% from approximately $146,600 for the Nine months ended September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, consulting and professional fees included accrued consulting fees to the Company’s CEO pursuant to the Consulting Agreement of $112,500 and $112,500, respectively.
 
Administrative expenses were approximately $267,500 for the Nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of approximately $34,900 or 15%, from approximately $232,600 for the Nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Administrative expenses consisted of:

Salaries and benefits
  $ 84,604     $ 108,243

Other
    45,217       16,563  
Total
  $ 267,453     $ 232,583  
 
Salaries and benefits decreased $23,639 from $108,243 during the period nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $84,604 during the period nine months ended September 30, 2012 as a result of  work force reductions in 2012 in particular during 3rd quarter ended September 30, 2012. Purchased services increased $21,137 from $28,599 during the period nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $49,736 during the period nine months ended September 30, 2012 as a result of the engagement of certain consultants in 2012 in order to assist the Company to comply with new regulations relating to medical device products.
 
Total other income (expense) was an expense of approximately $(623,700) for the Nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of approximately $424,300, or 213% from an expense of approximately $(199,400) for the Nine months ended September 30, 2011. This increase resulted from the $415,178 accretion of debt discounts in 2012 (none in 2011) relating to warrants included in the sales of 7% Non-Convertible Promissory Notes on December 31, 2011, February 17, 2012 and September 30, 2012.

As a result of the above, our net loss for the Nine months ended September 30, 2012 total approximately $1,205,900 or $.10 per share compared to a net loss of approximately $591,500 or $.05 per share for the Nine months ended September 30, 2011. These losses per share were based on weighted average common shares outstanding of 11,493,787 and 11,443,787 for the Nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011.
 
As discussed below, our operations are conducted outside the United States of America. The functional currency of our French subsidiary is the Euro and not the US Dollar.  However, our financial statements, as well as the following discussion regarding our results of operations are expressed in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, part of the variance in revenues and expenses discussed below is due to the fluctuating exchange rates in addition to the other factors discussed.
 
Net sales, which are solely attributable to our wholly-owned French subsidiary, totalled approximately $37,600 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of approximately $11,300, or 23% from approximately $48,900 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. This decrease is primarily attributable to lower unit sales of our bone substitute product’s in 2012 due to weak economic conditions in Europe.  Sales prices remained substantially the same in 2012 compared to 2011.  A lower Euro exchange rate in 2012 accounted for approximately $4,800 (or approximately 42%) of the $11,300 decrease.  
 
Cost of sales were approximately $22,900 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of approximately $2,800, or 14%, from approximately $20,100 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in our gross margin during the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily due to a $32,128 provision for slower moving inventories in the three months ended September 30, 2012 to reflect the diminished value of its inventory due to lower sales, offset partially by higher absorption of manufacturing overhead in 2012.
 
Consulting and professional fees were approximately $39,100 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of approximately $15,300, or 64% from approximately $23,800 for the thre months ended September 30, 2010. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, consulting and professional fees included accrued consulting fees to the Company’s CEO pursuant to the Consulting Agreement of $37,500 and $37,500, respectively.
 
Administrative expenses were approximately $107,200 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of approximately $64,200 or 149%, from approximately $43,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Salaries and benefits decreased $11,568 from $30,239 during the period three months ended September 30, 2011 to $18,671 during the period three months ended September 30, 2012 as a result of work force reductions in 2012 in particular during 3rd quarter ended September 30, 2012. Purchased services increased $22,682 from $10,799 during the period three months ended September 30, 2011 to $33,481 during the period three months ended September 30, 2012 as a result of the engagement of certain consultants in 2012 in order to assist the Company to comply with new regulations relating to medical device products.
 
Total other income (expense) was an expense of approximately $(218,800) for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of approximately $150,200, or 219% from an expense of approximately $(68,600) for the three months ended September 30, 2011. This increase resulted from the $143,288 accretion of debt discounts in 2012 (none in 2011) relating to warrants included in the sales of units of 7% Non-Convertible Promissory Notes on December 31, 2011, February 17, 2012 and September 30, 2012.
 
As a result of the above, our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012 totalled approximately $374,700or $.03 per share compared to a net loss of approximately $129,400 or $.01 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  These losses per share were based on weighted average common shares outstanding of 11,493,787 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 11,443,787 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
 
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we had net losses of approximately $1,206,000 and $591,500 for the Nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Management believes that it is likely that we will continue to incur net losses through the end of 2012.  We had a working capital deficiency of approximately $1,902,000 and $1,571,000 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 respectively. We also had a stockholders' deficiency of approximately $4,128,000 and $3,140,000 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as described in independent registered public accounting firm's report on the financial statements of our company for the year ended December 31, 2011 as filed on May 7, 2012. The Company will need additional working capital and plans to pursue strategic alliances with well capitalized entities to improve its financial condition. Also the Company will seek additional financing from prospective investors as it has successfully done in years 2011, 2010, 2009, and prior years. However, there is no assurance that it will be successful in accomplishing these objectives. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company sold an additional two units of its new series of 7% Non-Convertible Notes payable consisting of two 7% Non-Convertible three-year promissory Notes of the Company, due December 31, 2014, in the amount of 100,000 each, and 10,000 detachable warrants to “accredited investors”, increasing the amount of long term notes payable to $4,200,000, and the number of warrants to 420,000, respectively.  The Company will seek additional financing of approximately $2,000,000 and will seek additional working capital and pursue strategic alliances with well capitalized entities to improve its financial condition. Additionally, the Company received approximately $63,600 in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as a short term loan (See Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In the normal course of business, operations of the Company are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currencies. These fluctuations can vary the cost of financing, investment yields and operations of the Company.
 
The Company does not have any investments that would be classified as trading securities under generally accepted accounting principles.
 
The Company’s foreign currency risk exposure results from fluctuating currency exchange rates, primarily the U.S. dollar against theEuro. The Company faces transactional currency exposures that arise when its foreign subsidiaries (or the Company itself) enter into transactions, denominated in currencies other than their local currency. The Company also faces currency exposure that arises from translating the results of its global operations to the U.S. dollar at exchange rates that have fluctuated from the beginning of the period. The Company has not used financial derivatives to hedge against fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Based on the Company’s overall exposure for foreign currency at September  30, 2012, a hypothetical 10 percent change in foreign currency rates would not have a material impact on the Company’s balance sheet, net sales, net income or cash flows over a one-year period.
 
We conduct much of our business operations (and incur substantially all of our operating costs other than professional and consulting fees) through our French subsidiaryin Euros and, as such, are exposed to risk resulting from the fluctuation of exchange rates between the Euro and the US Dollar.  We do not engage in any hedging or other transactions for the purpose of minimizing this risk. (See “Item 2 -- Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of the effect of Euro/Dollar fluctuations on our results of operations.)
 
Marketable Securities
 
We do not have any investments in marketable securities that would be classified as trading securities under generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, our Company is party to several legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of business. We accrue for these items as losses become probable and can be reasonably estimated. While the results of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There are no material changes to the risk factors disclosed under Item 1A to Part I of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 which we filed on May 7, 2012.
 
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
 
During the nine months ended September; 30, 2012, the Company sold an additional two units of its new series of 7% Non-Convertible Notes payable consisting of two 7% Non-Convertible three-year promissory Note of the Company, due December 31, 2014, in the amount of $100,000 each, and 10,000 detachable warrants to “accredited investors”, increasing the amount of long term notes payable to $4,200,000, and the number of warrants to 420,000, respectively.  The Company will seek additional financing of approximately $2,000,000 and will seek additional working capital and pursue strategic alliances with well capitalizated entities to improve its financial condition. Additionally, the Company received approximately $63,600 in the nine months ended September 30,2012, as a short term loan (See Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
